The rapid development of the vaccine and the infodemia have challenged communication about COVID-19 vaccines. This study aims to characterize—through the experience of vaccinators—the challenges faced during COVID-19 vaccination consultations and the communication strategies adopted. A qualitative study was conducted on COVID-19 vaccinators in Tuscany, Italy. Face-to-face interviews were conducted and examined by thematic analysis. In total, 30 vaccinators were interviewed. Four main themes emerged. The first highlighted distinct profiles of users’ attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination. Barriers and promoters of vaccine uptake emerged in the second theme: concerns over the vaccine, excessive exposure to information, and a lack of clear guidance from institutions were the main factors behind hesitancy. The third theme highlighted users’ information-seeking behaviors; vaccinators observed that users ideologically opposed to the vaccine (IOV) unconsciously seek information that confirms their theories. The last theme comprised communication strategies for dealing with hesitancy. Empathy, first-hand examples, transparency, and tailored communication style appear to be effective in building vaccine trust. Lastly, the impossibility of developing a decision-making partnership with IOVs was noticed. These findings may help to better characterize public attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and highlight key communication principles and strategies to foster vaccine confidence.
Dietary nutrition: past, present and future
Authors:   Khabarovsk Regional Clinical Hospital, Pilipenko M. V.
Published: January 2023

Dietary (medical) nutrition is one of the most important preventive and therapeutic means aimed at maintaining and strengthening the health of the population. The word "diet" in Greek means "way of life". Improper nutrition leads to the weakening of the body, a decrease in efficiency and resistance to various external influences, and later - to chronic diseases of the digestive system. Gastritis, colitis, cholecystitis, and gastric ulcer as a consequence are not uncommon even at a young age.
February 11 — World Day of the Sick
Authors:   Blood Transfusion Department, Kremenskaya Central District Hospital, Frolova E. V.
Published: January 2023

Surely everyone knows that April 7 is Health Day, and on the third Sunday of June, traditionally, all medical workers celebrate their professional holiday. It turns out that our patients also have their own memorable date. Celebrating February 11 as the World Day of the Sick was proposed by Pope John Paul II in 1992. In France, on this day they celebrate the Our Lady of Lourdes Day. It was on this day many centuries ago that the apparition of Our Lady took place in the French town of Lourdes. She healed the suffering and became a symbol of the savior of the sick. The purpose of celebrating this memorable date is to attract the world community to the problems of people who, by chance, temporarily or for a long time, have replenished the army of millions of patients around the world.

Bones and joints are interconnected structural units of the skeleton. Their pathologies often accompany each other. However, there is still no single comprehensive approach to the treatment of bone and joint diseases: for the treatment of osteopathologies, their own treatment algorithms are used, for arthropathologies — their own. Recent studies have revealed a common pathogenetic mechanism underlying both groups of diseases. We have made a successful attempt to eliminate it.
Prevention and correction of emotional burnout syndrome in medical workers and teachers
Authors:   FGBU VO PSPbGMU im. acad. I. P. Pavlova, St. Petersburg, Russia, Petrova N. G.
Published: January 2023

Emotional burnout syndrome is a specific type of professional deformation of persons who are forced to closely communicate with people during the performance of their duties. The current works on this issue are built mainly in the logic of the psychophysiological approach. Meanwhile, it seems quite obvious that in the applied aspect, socio-psychological factors are of significant importance in the context of the problem of emotional burnout. prevention should include both personal aspects (starting with psychological examination and ending with individual psychological consultations) and issues of rational organization of work. On a personal level, it is necessary to promote and create conditions for physical development, the formation of high self-esteem, self-confidence, one’s abilities and capabilities, optimistic attitudes, a culture of relaxation and experience in overcoming professional stress.
Criança refugiada em tempos de pandemia – desafios diante das perdas e precariedade do abrigo: riscos à saúde mental – estudo documental
Authors: Farias Yasmin Guanaes Silva de Carvalho , De Queiroz Isabella Regina Gomes , Cal Lua Maria Bacellar
Published: January 2023

Introdução: Experiências de perda dadas pelo refúgio, agravadas pela pandemia do COVID-19, reeditam e amplificam a condição do desamparo primordial, destacadamente em crianças, cujo psiquismo está constituindo-se. Objetivo: Conhecer como a condição de vulnerabilidade/vulneração (risco à saúde mental) da criança refugiada está sendo tratada em veículos de informação de imprensa, no contexto da pandemia do COVID-19. Método: Qualitativo, exploratório, de estudo documental. Elaborou-se quatro categorias: ‘Dimensão legal’; ‘Xenofobia’ ‘Precariedade do abrigo’; e ‘Perdas e lutos’, sendo foco desse trabalho as duas últimas categorias. Resultados e discussão: Sete notícias retrataram a condição específica da criança, num total de 31 artigos investigados. Na categoria ‘Precariedade do abrigo’ verificou-se crianças em abrigos temporários, ou construídos em matas ou zonas fronteiriças, ou em cárcere. Estes abrigos estão superlotados, em condições sanitárias precárias e com escassez de alimentação. Na categoria ‘Perdas e lutos’, identificou-se as subcategorias: 1) Da cultura e da língua; 2) Da residência; 3) Da família e das crianças desacompanhadas; 4) Da escola; e 5) Do provimento pelo desemprego dos pais. Considerações finais: As crianças refugiadas são forçadas a deixar seus lares, com suas famílias, por estarem em risco de vida, mas, por vezes, estão sozinhas. Seguem em centros de acolhimento, regularmente superlotados, sem privacidade e acesso a serviços preconizados em lei, onde podem sofrer violência ou rebelião, revivendo a perda da moradia. Assim, estão expostas à riscos psíquicos e de vida. Encontram-se em situação de vulneração, reeditando a condição de desamparo, marcada pela impossibilidade de construção de um laço social e inserção nos contextos sociais, tornando difícil a construção da identificação no novo país. Sem a denúncia necessária, os riscos de esquecimento de tão grave problemática podem se fazer efetivar.

Authors: Pinheiro Ana Caroline , Borges Yasmin Justine
Published: January 2023

Os dispositivos eletrônicos de fumo representam constante ameaça à saúde dos usuários. O cigarro eletrônico foi criado como tentativa de cessação do tabagismo para aqueles fumantes de cigarro tradicional, porém este método não foi efetivo, e pelo contrário, potencializou o uso do tabaco, pois os tabagistas além de fumarem os cigarros tradicionais passaram a associar o uso dos dispositivos eletrônicos. Sendo assim, os malefícios à saúde também foram exacerbados. Objetivo: Analisar os malefícios que os dispositivos eletrônicos de fumo causam ao organismo dos usuários. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, incluindo artigos no período de 2018 a 2022, das bases PubMed MEDLINE (National Library of Medicine), Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e EbscoHost. Analisou-se 19 artigos na íntegra. Conclusão: Percebeu-se que os dispositivos de fumo eletrônico causam inúmeros malefícios à saúde dos usuários, acometendo diversos sistemas do corpo humano, aumentando potencialmente os riscos de desenvolvimento de patologias.

Constatando-se a existência de uma potencial configuração no estado de Pernambuco para o desenvolvimento de um sistema de inovação em saúde, o presente trabalho tem o objetivo de mapear os esforços realizados neste sentido para compreender os avanços conquistados até o presente momento e os desafios a serem superados. Para isso traz uma revisão da literatura que aprofunda a discussão sobre sistemas territoriais de inovação e os contextos brasileiro e pernambucano quanto à inovação em saúde. Como justificativa para a presente pesquisa, aponta-se a necessidade de se investigar o sistema de inovação em saúde, em seus vários níveis espaciais, dado o enorme impacto positivo do progresso científico-tecnológico sobre o bem-estar social e sobre o desenvolvimento econômico. Além disso, a literatura sobre o tema tem sido pouco explorada nas discussões realizadas no Brasil, em particular quanto às realidades regionais. No tocante à metodologia de pesquisa adotada, a escolha da abordagem qualitativa levou em conta a intenção em contribuir no conhecimento do sistema territorial de inovação em saúde no estado de Pernambuco. Dessa forma, a presente pesquisa pode ser classificada como descritiva e exploratória. Como resultado, foi identificada uma estrutura sistêmica constituída por relevantes atores do setor saúde em estágio de desenvolvimento, com características próprias e aspectos críticos a serem contornados.

Transplante cardíaco é o ato de substituir um coração por outro advindo de um doador apto, sendo considerado o padrão ouro para tratar Insuficiência cardíaca (IC) terminal refratária à terapia. Para esta cirurgia ser possível, alguns critérios devem ser levados em consideração: confirmação de morte encefálica, esclarecimento da causa da morte e possíveis comorbidades do doador, compatibilidade ABO e tamanho compatível. Além disso, está cirurgia é de grande complexidade e tem grande risco de complicações durante e no pós-operatório. Ademais, atualmente tem havido um desequilíbrio entre o número de doadores e receptores do órgão, pelo aumento da incidência de IC e conseguinte aumento da demanda de transplantes. Desta forma, é importante o melhor entendimento da IC, síndrome clínica normalmente desencadeada por patologia crônica, como hipertensão arterial sistêmica, ou por doença aguda, como infarto agudo do miocárdio. A IC possui curso clínico imprevisível, algumas são abruptos e outras evoluem sutilmente. Dentre as manifestações clínicas da IC vale mencionar: fadiga, intolerância ao exercício, dispneia, perda de peso não intencional, congestão pulmonar, edema periférico, piora da função renal, hipotensão, dentre outros. Como tem curso imprevisível, para o correto diagnóstico deve-se fazer, inicialmente, avaliação clínica minuciosa; em seguida, faz-se os exames de peptídeo natriuréticos e o ecocardiograma. Outros exames importantes para diagnóstico são: fração de ejeção de ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE), ressonância magnética cardiovascular, tomografia computadorizada e teste genético para detectar cardiomiopatias hereditárias. Por fim, e não menos importante, pesquisas têm comprovado que a prática de atividade física promove benefícios à recuperação pós-operatória, enquanto que condições clínicas não tratadas repercutem em transtornos mentais, os quais influenciam negativamente na recuperação pós-operatória. Perante o exposto, entende-se o porquê de estar havendo o aumento de estudos a respeito do transplante cardíaco e da atenção dada a ele em âmbito mundial.

Um terço de todas as doenças cardíacas é representado pelas doenças valvares, as quais vêm aumentando em prevalência, principalmente nos países desenvolvidos. A patologia pode acontecer por dois mecanismos diferentes: insuficiência ou estenose; a primeira ocorre quando o mecanismo que impede o refluxo sanguíneo está prejudicado e, a segunda, quando a valva não abre corretamente, dificultando a passagem do sangue. A sintomatologia é variável, podendo ser assintomática ou sintomática, sendo, esta última, determinante de mau prognóstico. Dentre as várias informações coletadas, destaca-se que a doença mitral leve não costuma apresentar sintomas; à medida que a doença progride, eles começam a aparecer, indicando possibilidade de maior morbimortalidade, principalmente em gestantes com doença reumática. No que diz respeito a estes sinais e sintomas, destacam-se: dispneia, fadiga, retenção de líquido, diminuição da capacidade física, murmúrio pansistólico na região apical, átrio esquerdo aumentado, além disso, pode-se desenvolver distúrbios neurológicos, representados por eventos que variam desde leves déficits à debilitantes. Para realizar o diagnóstico é necessário o conhecimento da fisiopatologia atrelado aos sinais e sintomas, deve-se, também, fazer uso do ecocardiograma e dos métodos dependentes de carga (quando há regurgitação aórtica e mitral). Importante salientar que, mesmo diante de avanços nos recursos diagnósticos, os dados acessíveis para orientar a tomada de decisões ainda não são suficientes para fechar o quadro de maneira ágil e precisa em todos os casos, principalmente no que se refere à valvulopatia múltipla. Assim, apesar do aumento de estudos nessa área, os dados ainda são insuficientes.

INTRODUÇÃO: Com o envelhecimento mundial ocorreu também o aumento da prevalência de comorbidades entre os idosos, implicando no uso de um número maior de fármacos, o que aumenta a chance de uso inapropriado dessas medicações e com isso, reações adversas associadas. Esse estudo tem como objetivo identificar a prevalência do uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados com base nos critérios de Beers®, de polifarmácia e as reações adversas. METODOLOGIA: Estudo transversal e descritivo, com análise dos prontuários eletrônicos disponíveis no sistema TrakCare®, de idosos atendidos no ambulatório em um serviço de Geriatria da SES-DF, em 2021. Os dados analisados foram: sexo, idade, escolaridade, comorbidades, fármacos utilizados, história de quedas e outros efeitos adversos possivelmente causados pelas medicações. A relação de medicamentos informada pelos participantes foi comparada com a lista de MPI da última atualização dos Critérios de Beers®. RESULTADO: Foram atendidos 47 indivíduos no período, com média de idade de 76 anos. Trinta e sete (78%) faziam uso de polifarmácia, com média de 5.91 fármacos cada, e, 12 (25%) faziam uso de medicamentos inapropriados. Desses, todos apresentaram reações adversas relacionadas, e a mais prevalente foi queda, em mais da metade dos casos de reação adversa a medicamento. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo evidenciou que 25,5% dos idosos atendidos em um serviço de Geriatria do DF estavam em uso de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados na primeira consulta, com reações adversas relacionadas ao uso e que 78,7% em uso de polifarmácia.
Destecendo a crônica como gênero menor: ressignificações, materialidades e suportes
Authors: Esmeraldo Moema de Souza
Published: January 2023

Esta proposta de discussão norteia-se no tocante à preocupação quanto à reflexão conceitual que envolve a crônica moderna no Brasil, a partir dos lugares-comuns radicados por parte da crítica e aceitos como parâmetros no estudo do gênero literário. Essa discussão, atualmente, é mais salutar do que apenas reproduzir conceitos estereotipados, na medida em que revisita a prática da crítica literária e examina definições que reduzem sua compreensão. Para tanto, serão elencados textos críticos difundidos no contexto do estudo da crônica no Brasil, dos autores Massaud Moisés (1967), Antonio Dimas (1974), Antonio Candido (2004) e Davi Arrigucci Júnior (1987). Nos textos desses críticos, existem definições reincidentes circunscritas que consensualmente assumem aspectos semelhantes como características da crônica. Procura-se, então, propor uma revisão conceitual, o que não significa, necessariamente, definir novos conceitos e muito menos definir um tipo específico de gênero, mas sim apontar especificidades desse tipo de produção escrita. Diante desse contexto, não podemos deixar de ressaltar contribuições valiosas de críticos que analisaram essa prática escrita por outros vieses, como Beatriz Resende (1995), Maria Cristina Ribas (2013) e Renato Cordeiro Gomes (2004).

A síndrome de DiGeorge (SDG), também conhecida como síndrome velocardiofacial, é uma condição neurogenética autossômica dominante de interesse global caracterizada pela microdeleção do cromossomo 22q11.2, na qual não há predileção por gênero ou raça. A doença é conhecida pela tríade clássica as cardiopatias congênitas, timo hipoplásico – ou aplásico – e hipocalcemia decorrente da hipoplasia paratireoidiana O diagnóstico da síndrome baseia-se em dois exames laboratoriais, a Hibridização Genômica Comparativa baseada em microarray (aCGH) e a Hibridização por Fluorescência in situ (FISH), ambas com a finalidade de investigar o distúrbio genético e o tratamento consiste em tratar as alterações decorrentes da patologia. O objetivo estudo é analisar o manejo e o prognóstico da síndrome de DiGeorge por meio de um apanhado de casos clínicos. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa, de natureza quantitativa, que utilizou as plataformas PubMed (Medline), Scientific Eletronic Library On-line (SciELO) e Cochrane Library como bases de dados para a seleção dos artigos, todos na língua inglesa. Foram utilizadas literaturas publicadas com recorte temporal de 2017 a 2022. De acordo com as literaturas analisadas, foi observado que a SDG requer diligência por parte dos profissionais da saúde no que concerne ao seu manejo, vide os vários fenótipos, desde leves a graves, da patologia. Por ter envolvimento multissistêmico, é essencial que, mesmo antes do diagnóstico, os distúrbios inerentes à síndrome sejam tratados e sujeitos à suspeição por intermédio da equipe, a qual necessita ter conhecimento acerca dessa possibilidade, haja vista a eventualidade de um pior prognóstico aos pacientes portadores.
Molecular genetic testing in ovarian cancer

Published: January 2023

Ovarian cancer (OC) remains to be a leading cause of mortality among oncogynaecological patients. The low five-year survival rate of OC patients is associated with a lack of highly sensitive screening, early diagnostics and preventive methods, as well as high metastasis, recurrence and chemoresistance rates. Molecular genetic techniques for OC diagnosis based on standardized genetic panels can be used to detect a limited range of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. However, the spectrum of genes potentially responsible for OC development is much wider. Recent data emphasize the importance of personalized approaches to account for ethno-population specifics in molecular genetic testing. This paper reviews recent data on the pathogenesis, molecular genetic diagnostic methods, and preventive strategies for OC.

Aim. To study the indicators and regional specifics of morbidity associated with temporary disability in the Subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) of Russia.

Materials and methods. A descriptive epidemiological study was performed based on retrospective data on the morbidity associated with temporary disability of the working population in FEFD as of January 01, 2021. A unified inter-agency information and statistical system was used to study the indicators of temporary disability (TD), including the number of TD cases per 100 employees and the number of TD days per 100 employees during 2005–2020. The methods of descriptive statistics were applied to differentially calculate the average annual indicators for the periods of 2005–2014 and 2015–2019 due to the adoption of the Rosstat order No. 723 dated December 25, 2014.

Results. The average long-term value of the indicators of morbidity associated with temporary disability in most FEFD subjects was found to be statistically significantly higher than that in the entire Russian Federation, with higher values o bserved in 2005–2014 compared to 2015–2019. The indicators of morbidity associated with temporary disability demonstrated a more stable trend during 2015–2019. The indicators for 2020 were statistically higher than for 2015–2019, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemics.

Conclusions. In view of the specific nature of the main economic sectors in FEFD (shift and seasonal work), as well as the lack of a developed social, road transport, and engineering infrastructure, data on temporary disability of the working population (including migrants) should be continuously monitored. The results obtained at this research stage can be used to develop optimal measures aimed at protecting the health of people living in the Far East of Russia.

Published: January 2023

This paper presents a clinical case of destructive pulmonary tuberculosis in a child with drug resistance successfully treated using endoscopic bronchial valve therapy. In the context of the developed drug resistance to the causative agent of tuberculosis, ineffectiveness of the conducted treatment and negative radiological dynamics, the method of endoscopic bronchial valve treatment allows the patient’s condition and their clinical and radiological indicators to be improved. In the presented case, a positive X-ray dynamic was achieved in the form of closure of the decay cavity after the installation of an endobronchial valve. Following nine months, the installed endobronchial valve was removed during bronchoscopy and the continuation of chemotherapy was recommended.
A Metaverse Maturity Model
Authors: Weinberger Markus , Gross Daniel
Published: January 2023

The idea of the Metaverse as the next iteration of the internet gets increasing attention. As the development is still in its infancy, maturity assessments of the Metaverse in general and its constituting virtual worlds could provide critical input to guiding research and development as well as investments. Based on a scientific definition of the Metaverse, eight core attributes for its virtual worlds are extracted. For each of these attributes, five maturity levels are defined. Thus, a Metaverse maturity model with eight attributes and five maturity levels is proposed. This model is then applied to assess the maturity of the virtual world Decentraland. This pilot assessment reveals that attributes mainly depending on strategic decisions reach higher maturity levels than those mainly depending on technological aspects. This indicates a solid strategic dedication of Decentraland to the Metaverse vision.

Vse pogostejši in intenzivnejši ekstremni vremenski dogodki, ki so v zadnjih letih povzročili največ škode v pridelavi oljk (manjši pridelki, slabša kakovost oljčnih olj), potrjujejo, da brez prilagajanja podnebnim spremembam ne bo mogoče ohraniti ekonomske vzdržnosti pridelave oljčnega olja. Neizpodbitno dejstvo je, da je namakanje kmetijskih zemljišč eden najučinkovitejših ukrepov blaženja podnebnih sprememb. Kljub številnim tujim in domačim raziskavam, ki so pokazale pozitivne učinke avtomatiziranega deficitnega namakanja oljk na kakovost in količino pridelka, se pridelovalci oljk le redko odločajo za avtomatizirano namakanje. Postavitev in izvajanje tehnološko dovršenega vodenja in avtomatskega nanosa vode pri deficitnem namakanju zahtevata strokovna znanja, ki jih oljkarji nimajo. Zaradi omejenih vodnih virov, zapletenih postopkov pridobivanja vseh potrebnih dovoljenj za namakanje, bojazni o ekonomski neupravičenosti in neznanja uporabljajo preprosto opremo, ki omogoča namakanje po lastnih občutkih in izkušnjah, kar vodi v nenadzorovano porabo vode in ekonomsko neupravičeno namakanje. Da bi zagotovili učinkovito in trajnostno rabo vode na kmetijskih gospodarstvih, učinkovito blaženje podnebnih sprememb ter hkrati stabilnost proizvodnih in ekonomskih razmer v oljkarstvu, je v predmetni publikaciji na podlagi rezultatov projekta Avtomatizacija in ekonomska upravičenost namakanja v oljkarstvu ovrednotena ekonomska upravičenost vpeljave avtomatskega namakalnega sistema v prakso pri različnih talnih tipih, kultivarjih oljk in mikropodnebnih pogojih.
The Legend of the First Woman in Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s “The House of Life”
Authors: Al-Janabi Sajid
Published: January 2023

Various accounts of the First Woman’s story were included in sacred scripts regarding a woman who preceded Eve in the creation and addressed the role of being Adam’s wife. Lilith, the first female creature who showcased physical and oral resistance to God’s command, had acquired great attention in theological manuscripts and literary reproductions throughout history. This paper explores the enigmatic emergence of Lilith and the subsequent manipulations of her character. Moreover, it traces the chronological evolvement of her tale from the Talmudic Rabbinic tradition to the Victorian era. Also, it tackles the author’s religious advocacy related to the examination of Lilith’s choices and inspections of different experiences. The significance of the study lies in the literary and cultural perceptions of her story as a ‘fable’ or ‘biblical tale’ since it was rendered differently with varying levels of acceptance concerning its origin and employment to cultural and social contexts. The controversial treatment of her personality served multiple purposes through the oral tradition and written texts in different cultures. Dante Gabriel Rossetti was one of the poets who found in Lilith an inevitable means of manifesting trembling thoughts in his world. She offered him a good chance for relieving these thoughts by pouring them into painting and poetry. In this respect, the paper also sheds light on the portrayal of Lilith in two poems from Rossetti’s The House of Life with emphasis on his unique way of representing her as a cultural icon that best reflects the prerequisites of femininity.

The healthcare providers who actively participated in the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to experience mental health problems. This cross-sectional study sought to understand the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare providers' mental health. It evaluated a sample of 220 out of 2000 who participated in the Saudi Arabia Eastern Province pandemic. Tylor scale was used to analyze the anxiety levels, where the independent variables included age, gender, job type, job nature, and faith degree (religious commitment). The results indicated a significant relationship between the independent variables analyzed. The Tylor scale showed that (34.55%) of the participants had middle anxiety levels, and (11.81%) of the participants had high anxiety levels. The study also found that other sample characteristics do not correlate with TMAS levels. This study provides information that may help mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in the healthcare system. Practical solutions, including education and policy reformulations, may be incorporated into addressing healthcare providers’ mental health needs and challenges.

A sunken solar greenhouse has a good heat preservation environment. The influence of the general indoor temperature on the temperature of the roots was evaluated. A wireless sensor and U disk recorder were used to determine the indoor temperatures of a single section and multiple sections in a sunken solar greenhouse. Results showed that the rate of temperature change from in the vertical, horizontal and longitudinal sections in descending order at the opening moment and at the strong light moment. The temperatures in the single cross-section and multiple cross-sections were approximately equal during winter from 00:00 to 8:00 in the morning. These values can be used for calculating theoretically the heat loss in a greenhouse.

Abstract: Purpose: The study employs Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. We aim to discover the role of CSR on the influence of audit firm rotation (AFR), audit committee gender (ACG), and audit quality (AQ) on banking performance. Methodology/approach: The regression analyses were performed multiple and moderated to exploit the linear model and moderating model, respectively. Results/findings: The results show that ACG has a significant effect on banking performance, meanwhile AFR and AQ have no significant influence on banking performance. Furthermore, the results of the moderated regression analysis revealed that CSR cannot moderate the influence of AFR, ACG, and AQ on banking performance. Limitations: We limited the variables only in terms of AFR, ACG, and AQ for the direct influence on firm performance. Therefore, we did not include determinant variables of firm performance in the model (e.g., firm size, firm age, firm growth, financial ratio). We suggest for further research include these determinant variables as a control variable. Contribution: The study delivers understanding and information on behalf of the influence of AFR, ACG, and AQ on firm performance, particularly for the banking sector in emerging countries. In addition, this research has implications for regulators to improve banking performance. Novelty: We use CSR as a moderating role. To the best of our knowledge, there is no prior study that employs CSR as a moderating role among AFR, ACG, and AQ association to banking performance. Meanwhile, previous studies prove the strong relationship between CSR to banking performance. Keywords: 1. Audit Quality 2. Audit Committee Gender 3. Audit Firm Rotation 4. Banking Performance 5.

Abstract: Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of asset intensity, company size, KAP Big Four, public ownership, and profitability on disclosure of biological assets. Non-Cylical Consumer companies are the object of this study, and there are 48 data samples. Research Methodology: The testing technique used is purposive sampling, namely selecting samples with a particular model. In addition, the measuring tool used is SPSS 24. Result: Previous researchers showed, that the disclosure of biological assets is influenced by its intensity. In addition, company size has no effect on the disclosure of biological assets. Meanwhile, KAP Big Four has a significant and negative influence on the disclosure of biological assets. Furthermore, disclosure of biological assets is not affected by public ownership. implies that disclosure of organic resources will not be affected by open ownership. Profitability also has no effect on the disclosure of biological assets, so that profitability will not affect the disclosure of biological assets. Limitation: This study only uses the independent variables of biological asset intensity, company size, KAP Big4, public ownership, and profitability, and only uses the non-cyclical consumer sector listed on the IDX. Contribution: Companies, especially those that have gone public and are listed on the IDX, can benefit from this research. In addition, investors interested in investing can benefit from not only viewing the company's financial statements but also the disclosure of its biological assets for future research purposes. In this study, the variables, sample size, and population, and time of year were updated. Keywords: 1. intensity of biological assets 2. company size 3. the KAP Big Four 4. public ownership 5. profitability 6. biological assets' disclosure
Locating X-ray coronary angiogram keyframes via long short-term spatiotemporal attention with image-to-patch contrastive learning

Locating the start, apex and end keyframes of moving contrast agents for keyframe counting during X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) is very important in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. To locate these keyframes from the class-imbalanced and boundary-agnostic foreground vessel actions that overlap complex backgrounds, we propose long short-term spatiotemporal attention by integrating a convolutional long short-term memory (CLSTM) network into a multiscale Transformer to learn the segment- and sequence-level dependences in the consecutive-frame-based deep features. Image-to-patch contrastive learning is further embedded between the CLSTM-based long-term spatiotemporal attention and Transformer-based short-term attention modules. The imagewise contrastive module reuses the long-term attention to contrast image-level foreground/background of XCA sequence, while patchwise contrastive projection selects the random patches of backgrounds as convolution kernels to project foreground/background frames into different latent spaces. A new XCA video dataset is collected to evaluate the proposed neural network. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a mAP of 70.51\% and an F1-score of 0.8188, considerably outperforming the state-of-the-art methods.

Quantifying the Benefits of Shared Battery in a DSO-Energy Community Cooperation
Authors: Berg Kjersti , Rana Rubi , Farahmand Hossein
Published: January 2023

Local energy communities are forming as a way for prosumers and consumers to invest in distributed renewable energy sources, community storage and share electricity. Meanwhile, several distribution grids have voltage problems at certain hours of the year. Local energy communities consisting of generation and storage units might be valuable flexible assets that the distribution system operator (DSO) can make use of. This article aims to study how a battery in an energy community can provide services to the distribution grid, by creating a linear optimisation model which includes power flow constraints and a battery degradation model. First, we investigate how the battery operation of an energy community impacts the voltage in the nearby buses. We find that when including the degradation model, the voltage limits are violated much less than when not including the degradation model. Next, we investigate how the battery operation differs when the energy community cooperates with an active DSO to share the battery use, and quantify how much the DSO should remunerate the energy community. We find that the energy community should get 15 € per year due to an increase in electricity and degradation costs, which equals an increase of 0.12%, compared to when the community is not providing a service. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is performed to determine which parameters are more important to consider. We find that voltage violations in the grid are sensitive to the battery replacement cost, electric vehicle charging peak and the average spot price, while the remuneration from the DSO is sensitive to the battery replacement cost. For small battery sizes and a low power-to-energy ratio, the community is not able to improve the voltage at all hours of the year.

Authors:   Korea Association Of Cultural Economics, Tan Min , Limb Seong-Joon
Published: January 2023

In this study, the user’s selection factors (UGC service, content sufficiency, content diversity, pricing plan, personalization, system quality) were derived for the music streaming service ‘YouTube Music’, and their effect on satisfaction and continuous use intention was empirically investigated. To this end, a survey was conducted on 314 YouTube Premium subscribers who mainly listen to music through YouTube Music. As a result of the analysis, among the selection factors, only personalization, system quality, content sufficiency, and pricing plan had significant positive effects on the satisfaction and continued use intention of YouTube Music users, but UGC service and content diversity did not. The implications of YouTube Music and other domestic music streaming providers according to the study results were discussed.
Research on the Effect of Quality of Life according to the Policy Support Path for Artists

Published: January 2023

Analyzing the data of the 2015 Survey Report on Artists & Activities conducted by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Culture & Tourism Institute, this research delves into the quality of artistic lives at a social and personal level.
The analysis first unveils that the satisfaction level of arts policy appears to be high amongst artists who receive grants from public institutions such as Arts Council Korea, Korean Artist Welfare Foundation, and Korea Creative Content Agency. Moreover, the satisfaction level also rises in proportion to the grants they receive. Moreover, artists in performing, visual and popular arts tend to be more content with arts policy than those working in literature.
Second, based on the statistical data of the artists who receive grants from public institutions, no meaningful correlation is discovered between the grants and artistic satisfaction in arts activities.
In comparison, a high level of satisfaction with art activities is manifested by the artists who are given governmental funding from the central or local government bodies or corporate grants such as arts funding from Korea Mecenat Association.
Meanwhile, artists from the metropolitan area, which is deemed to have a well-established infrastructure for artistic support, show negative attitudes towards arts policy.
Such results indicate the potential disparity between artists’ perception of their satisfaction with arts policy and their real satisfaction through individual art activities. Thus, this study proposes that an in-depth analysis of artists be designed more sophisticatedly with multi-layered approaches.

The protection of minorities as human rights consequence: citizenship, natural law, and its relation to the protection of vulnerable groups
Authors: Aranha Da Cruz Ramon
Published: January 2023

This article is based on the hypothesis that the protection of minorities results from the effective exercise of citizenship, which, in turn, is derived from human rights. Based on this premise, the history of the evolution of natural law until its conversion into human rights is analyzed, emphasizing theoretical aspects of the general theory of law. Afterward, it is possible to observe how the protection of vulnerable groups ﬁts into the concept of citizenship. The general objective, therefore, is to analyze from which perspective the protection of vulnerable groups can ﬁ t in as a result of the right to citizenship and under which approach it should be treated. It seeks, therefore, to legally validate affirmative measures taken by state bodies to ensure rights to such groups with a focus on citizenship.
