Authors: Sravan Kumar G Et al.
Published: December 2023

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, a severe attack on the network services during the contemporary era, is categorized under active attacks in security attacks. The impact of this attack on the organization or individual resources leads to massive loss in terms of finance, reputation. Therefore, detecting Distributed DDoS attacks is vital in ensuring the availability and integrity of online services of an organization. The work in this paper employed machine learning techniques, complemented by Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), to tackle the inherent challenge of imbalanced DDoS attack dataset: CSE-CIC-2018 and to enhance computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy with a fraction of the original dataset. The emphasis of the this works is to comprehensively assess the performance of five prominent algorithms of machine learning - Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and XGBoost - in the context of detection of DDoS attack. The overhead of oversampling is handled with the application of SMOTE oversampling and it has been addressed data imbalance issues, improving the algorithms' capability to identify attacks of DDoS effectively. The work of this paper finds and reveals distinct comparative advantages among the algorithms employed in the DDoS attack detection and provides actionable insights in choosing the most suitable algorithms of Machine learning for the detection of DDoS attack, provided emphasizing the significance of SMOTE to enhance the algorithms' performance in the presence of imbalanced data. Eventually, this paper offers invaluable guidance for organizations seeking to make safe their network against DDoS attacks while considering the crucial tradeoffs between accuracy and computational efficiency. The proposed work in this paper presented the results that Random Forest classifier ensured the better performance with F1-Score value 0.99, Mathews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) value 0.98 and accuracy value 0.99 relative to other classifiers employed.
Review Paper on Enhanced Image Captioning with Deep Learning: Encoder-Decoder and Attention Mechanism
Authors: Vikash Kumar Singh Et al.
Published: December 2023

Image captioning involves the generation of textual descriptions that describe the content within an image. This process finds extensive utility in diverse applications, including the analysis of large, unlabelled image datasets, uncovering concealed patterns to facilitate machine learning applications, guiding self-driving vehicles, and developing software solutions to aid visually impaired individuals. The implementation of image captioning relies heavily on deep learning models, a technological frontier that has simplified the task of generating captions for images. This paper focuses on the utilisation of encoder-decoder model with attention mechanism for image captioning. In classic image captioning model, the words usually describe only a part of the image, however with attention mechanism special attention is given to the low level and high level features of the image. Object detection using attention mechanism has shown to have increased the CIDEr score by 15%. With the use of stable dataset of MSCOCO through keras datasets, it is possible to score more on caption generation and accurate description of image.

The role of polymorphism of redox-sensitive genes in the mechanisms of oxidative stress in obesity and metabolic diseases
Authors: Shkurat Mikhail A. , Mashkina Elena V. , Milyutina Natalya P. , Shkurat Tatiana P.
Published: December 2023

The review summarizes ideas about the role of polymorphic variants of redox-sensitive genes that regulate the development of oxidative stress in obesity and associated metabolic diseases. The concept of oxidative stress, activated oxygen metabolites (AOM), which include reactive forms of oxygen, nitrogen, and chlorine, is considered, and an idea of the antioxidant system and its enzymatic link is given. The important role of gene polymorphism of AOM-producing enzymes — CYBA, CYBB, MT-ND1/2/4L, MT-CO1/3, XOR, CYP, NOS2/3, MPO — in the induction of oxidative stress in obesity has been shown. The dualism of AOM in obesity is emphasized: on the one hand, they are necessary for normal adipogenesis and signaling, and, on the other hand, they play a trigger role in the development of oxidative stress. It has been demonstrated that an imbalance in antioxidant system in obesity and metabolic disorders may be associated with variability in the genes of key antioxidant enzymes and proteins — SOD1/2/3, CAT, GPX1-8, GSR, GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1, PRDX3, TXNIP, HMOX1, NQO1, NFE2L2, KEAP1. The critical role of polymorphism in the Nrf2 transcription factor gene, the main regulator of redox homeostasis under physiological conditions and in obesity, has been demonstrated. It has been demonstrated that disruption of redox homeostasis due to genetic variability of the prooxidant-antioxidant system contributes to the development of the pathological obesity phenotype. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying oxidative stress in obesity and metabolic diseases is necessary to expand knowledge about the mechanisms of pathogenesis of these diseases and to develop effective methods for their correction.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: The analysis of ROH distribution is an important focus of genetic resource conservation programs of cattle. Characterization of ROH-islands allows to identify genetic factors affecting productivity traits of dairy cattle.
AIM: was to analyze intra-breed genetic diversity and population structure of Ayrshire cattle, based on data on distribution of homozygosity patterns, as well as to identify loci associated with selection intensity and utility traits.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: ROH distribution data were obtained using whole genome genotyping on Illumina BovineSNP50 (50K) DNA chips (Illumina Inc., USA). The object of the study was the DNA of Ayrshire cows (600 cows), which belonged to farms with different levels of selection and breeding work.
RESULT: The results of our studies showed a generally similar level of inbredness of the analyzed Ayrshire cattle herds. The homogeneity of the population is confirmed by a large number of animals (72.83%) with FROH values between 0.10 and 0.20. Cluster analysis revealed consolidated groups of individuals, due to their ancestral origins. The discovered ROH-patterns included 268 genes, 32 of which were involved in regulation of the synthesis of protein and fat milk components. The results obtained may be used in breeding programs for Ayrshire cattle in Russia.
CONCLUSIONS: The Russian population of Ayrshire cattle is distinguished by unique qualities in protein and fat milk composition and genome architecture, while maintaining genetic diversity and insignificant traces of Ayrshire cattle gene pool.

Authors: Tarakhovskaya Elena R. , Islamova Renata T. , Zamyatkina Elizaveta B. , Stepchenkova Elena I.
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Phlorotannins are unique phenolic compounds produced by brown algae. Due to their considerable biological activity these metabolites are extensively studied in the context of medicinal applications. However, to date, no studies addressed potential genotoxicity of phlorotannins.
AIM: The objective of this research is an assessment of mutagenic activity of intracellular and cell wall (CW) bound phlorotannins of three brown algal species.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mutagenicity of phlorotannin extracts of Desmarestia aculeata, Fucus serratus, and Ectocarpus siliculosus was assessed by the Ames test, carried out using three tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA97, TA98, and TA100) with and without metabolic activation.
RESULTS: Intracellular phlorotannin extracts of all tested algae showed relatively low values of minimum inhibitory concentration against S. typhimurium (20–30 μg/ml), with extract of D. aculeata being the most toxic. Intracellular phlorotannins of F. serratus and CW-bound polyphenols of E. siliculosus demonstrated moderate mutagenic activity in the Ames test inducing frameshift mutations with the number of His+ revertants more than twice higher compared to the control. The phlorotannin extracts of D. aculeata showed no mutagenic activity.
CONCLUSIONS: The brown alga D. aculeata may be regarded as a promising source of phlorotannins for medical applications, as its phlorotannin-enriched extracts have high antibiotic activity and are not mutagenic.

Published: December 2023

Sweet potato is a rustic culture, widely adapted and with a high starch content, thus having innumerable aptitudes. For the transformation of sweet potatoes into biofuel, some processes are necessary. The success of ethanol production from sweet potatoes depends on the transformation of starch into fermentable sugars. The most used conversion process is enzymatic hydrolysis, which uses commercially available enzymes. However, this process can be carried out through enzymes secreted by filamentous fungi. In this work, filamentous fungi that naturally colonized sweet potatoes were studied. These were isolated, tested for enzymatic activity, and identified by microculture. Fifty-one fungi from the pulp of sweet potatoes Beauregard and BRS-Amélia were isolated, 27 of them showed the ability to hydrolyze starch. Out of these, six showed an enzyme index ≥ 2.0 and were identified as Aspergillus sp. and Penicillium sp. This fact indicates the potential of these fungi in the production of amylase, an important enzyme for ethanol production.

Authors: Bai Ling , Cheng Jin  , Shuangquan Wang
Published: December 2023

The clinical manifestations of hepatic hemangioma are not specific. At present, the diagnosis of hepatic hemangioma mainly depends on imaging examination, and the treatments are based on surgery. However, the current indications and timing for surgical treatments and surgical options for hepatic hemangioma remain controversial. This article introduces our current understanding of hepatic hemangioma and the current status of diagnosis and treatment of hepatic hemangioma, providing a basis for the standardization of diagnosis and treatment of hepatic hemangioma. Treatments of hepatic hemangioma include surgery, hepatic artery embolization, radiofrequency ablation, radiation therapy, intraoperative microwave coagulation, cryotherapy, and sclerotherapy. Surgical treatment is the preferred option for patients without surgical contraindications.
Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Manifestations of Coronavirus Disease-19: Potential Implications for Healthcare Resource-Deficient Countries
Authors: Mohammad K. Parvez
Published: December 2023

It is believed that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has evolved and developed with broad tissue tropism as hospitalized coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 patients have been showing non-respiratory manifestations. As evidenced in recent clinical studies, even if the results of oral or nasal swab test were negative, the tests on rectal swab, feces, and blood samples in recovered patients could still be positive. The viral shedding in these specimens provides a cautionary warning that fecal-oral route may represent a hidden trigger of rampant spread of COVID-19 in developing countries with poor sanitization. In addition, the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in rectal, fecal, and blood samples endorses gastrointestinal and hepatic origins for the pathogenesis of COVID-19. These observations highlight the importance for the infected patients to obtain accurate and timely diagnosis as well as the treatment of COVID-19 and its associated non-respiratory symptoms to reduce the risk of spreading the infection through unexpected routes. This review also discusses the potential implications of fecal-oral transmission of COVID-19 for healthcare resource-deficient countries.
Non-specific Colitis: An Endoscopist-Pathologist Miscommunication
Authors: Mohamed H. Emara  , Eman M. Saied  , Mohammed Hussien Ahmed  , Yasmin A. Elshaer
Published: December 2023

Pathologists commonly report non-specific colitis (NSC) in the pathology reports of colon biopsies when they fail to characterize features of the colonic inflammation and diagnose the disease based on specific forms of colitis. Several conditions, ranging from irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, celiac disease, to other systemic diseases have been proposed to be associated with the reporting of NSC in the colon pathology reports. Specifically, NSC could be a preceding pathological condition associated with these diseases before their symptoms and signs become more apparent. Based on a few studies, NSC may not be a particular disease, but rather a transient presentation of inflammatory bowel disease. This gist of this mini-review article is the failure of sharing demographic, clinical, laboratory, and endoscopic data between endoscopist and pathologist are the most important underlying cause of failed characterization of colitis by pathologists. Therefore, enhancement of endoscopist-pathologist ommunication would reduce the incidence of this misnomer and indirectly improve the diagnosis that helps with more accurate treatment.
Gastric Variceal Bleeding: Is Endoscopic Ultrasound the Next Game Changer in the Management of Gastric Varices?
Authors: Kapil D. Jamwal
Published: December 2023

Gastric varices (GV) are present in 15-25% of cirrhotic patients with type 1 gastroesophageal varices (GOV1) being the most common[1,2]. In comparison to esophageal varices, the incidence of gastric variceal bleeding is low (10-20%) and is not proportional to portal venous pressure as noted in the esophageal varices, which has a rebleeding rate of up to 30% noted in GV[2,3]. The GV bleeding is difficult to control due to the presence of a thick mucosal layer over the GV, which does not collapse during bleeding.
Sea surface salinity observed from the HY-2A satellite
Authors: Song Qingtao , Wang Zhaohui
Published: December 2023

Motivated by the shortcomings of radio frequency interferences (RFI) associated with the spaceborne L-band radiometers near the Northwest Pacific and previous study near the Amazon plume, this study presents a sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieval algorithm from the microwave radiometer onboard the HY-2A satellite. The SSS signal is improved by differentiating the reflectance between the C and X band. A reflectance calibration method is proposed by using a combination of radiative transfer model (RTM) and the Klein-Swift emissivity model. Evaluations of the retrieved SSS from the HY-2A satellite indicate that the root mean square error (RMSE) is about 0.35 psu on 0. 5 degree grid spacing and monthly time scale which is comparable to the accuracy of SMOS and Aquarius-SAC/D satellites.

Published: December 2023

Background and purpose – Although headaches are often comorbid with psychological symptoms, the underlying psychological processes, e.g. the role of personality dimensions as headache determinants remains unclear. Studies found associations between headaches and various personality traits; according to the Big Five model of personality, persons suffering from headaches exhibit a higher rate in neuroticism, while a lower rate in extraversion, openness to experiences and positive emotions. This is the first study to clarify the associations among duration, intensity, and frequency of headaches and personality dimensions. Through this study we could get into the personality dimensions in the background of pain experience and that which personality dimensions bear a part in the behaviour of the persons, who suffered from headache, but do not seek treatment through this complaint. Methods – Treated (Group1) and untreated (Group2) headache patients and healthy controls (Group3) were investigated (total of 360 participants). The main headache components of intensity, duration, and frequency were used as dependent variables with personality dimensions in the Big Five concept investigated by the NEO-PI-R Personality Inventory. Results – Employing multiple regression analysis, facets of personality described 14.7% of headache intensity, 10.9 % of duration, and 18.7 % of frequency variance. Group1 and Group2 reached significantly higher values on the dimension of anxiety, depression, and vulnerability to stress than Group3. Group1 showed a significantly higher value on trust personality dimension than Group3 and Group2. Group3 exhibited a significantly higher value in the trust dimension than Group2. Concerning vulnerability to stress, the highest value was yielded by the “treated and suffering from headaches” group and there was a significant difference also with the “untreated and suffering from headaches” group and with the control group. In this dimension, the “untreated and suffering from headaches” group’s point value was significantly higher than the control group’s (p<0.01, U=-4.501). Conclusion – Our study demonstrates that the three headache components are not independent from personality traits, and personality traits may interact with treatment seeking behavior even in the presence of significant headache complaints. The role of the personality traits are significant in the intensity, duration and frequency of headaches.
Pembrolizumab-induced peripheral nervous system damage: A combination of myositis/myasthenia overlap syndrome and motor axonal polyneuropathy
Authors: Çakar Arman , Kamaci Ibrahim , Orhan Elif Kocasoy , Durmuş Hacer , Parman Yeşim
Published: December 2023

Introduction – Immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) are effective drugs in cancer treatment that block immune checkpoints and stimulate an attack on cancer cells. However, various side effects were reported with ICIs. Peripheral nervous system (PNS) side effects are three times more frequent than those in the central nervous system. Case report – A 63-year-old male patient was admitted to our department with a 10-day history of dyspnea, diplopia, and generalized weakness. He had a diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, which was treated with pembrolizumab. His neurological symptoms appeared one week after the second course of pembrolizumab, and gradually worsened. His neurological examination showed nasal speech, bilateral ptosis, tongue and neck flexor weakness, prominent asymmetrical upper limb weakness, and mild lower limb weakness. Deep tendon reflexes and sensory examination were normal. He had an elevated creatine kinase level (4430 U/L). Needle electromyography (EMG) showed a myopathic pattern, and single fiber EMG demonstrated an increased jitter in the right frontal muscle. Pembrolizumab treatment was discontinued, and intravenous methylprednisolone followed by intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) were initiated. His symptoms gradually improved. However, his weakness began to worsen after a month, and repeated nerve conduction studies showed a predominantly motor axonal polyneuropathy. Thereafter, the patient was treated with IVIg infusions (0.4 g/every two weeks) to maintain his motor function. Conclusion – Our case showed that ICIs could simultaneously or sequentially cause damage in multiple domains of the PNS. Early recognition of these adverse events is essential since the outcome is favorable with rapid cessation of the causative ICI and administration of immune-modulator treatment.

The need for standardized dietary guidelines for cancer patients - with review of literature from governing bodies
Authors: Kulkarni Sushma P
Published: December 2023

Dietary advices in the form of dietary guidelines help immensely in the management of health and disease, more so in the management of cancer patient. The objective of this study is to emphasize the need for standardized dietary guidelines which will guide the cancer patients and the medical fraternity involved in the management of cancer patient.

Thorough search was done from recognized authorities for the available dietary guidelines for cancer patients. We also performed literature search with the use of PubMed, and Google Scholar as our database articles citing the benefits of dietary intervention in cancer management.

Only the guidelines and dietary advices in the management of cancer patients which were given by the authorized bodies were considered.

The dietary guidelines for cancer patients that we found after thorough search are very few. These guidelines have remained the same for decades now and need revival.

There is a strong need for standardized dietary advices given by the concerned authorities to guide the medical fraternity to help to support the cancer patients in a better and confident way. More and more studies are required to standardize the dietary requirements during cancer management. The process, though herculean, can begin with simple and short guidelines for the dietary management of common health concerns during cancer treatment. With the help of outcomes of larger studies in this domain, more appropriate guidelines can be formulated.

Authors: Ghoshal Nandakishore , Singh Susanchita
Published: December 2023

Breast cancer is one of the widespread diseases all over the world. Breast cancer is the leading variant of cancer among females. Oral diseases are potentially thought to be relevant to systemic disease. Surgical approaches lumpectomy, partial mastectomy along with post surgical radiotherapy (RT) or chemotherapy (CT) is the mainstream gold standard treatment of breast cancer. But unfortunately RT/CT comes with some unavoidable stomatological complications especially in post menopausal age. There are many studies found some definite oral complications during the treatment periods of breast cancer therapy like sore mouth, mucositis, salivary gland dysfunctions, dysguesia, dysesthesia, cervical caries, periodontitis, alveolar bone loss, opportunistic infections, and osteoradionecrosis etc. Obtained from present knowledge available, different oral complications are discussed like proper oral hygiene (both professional and domiciliary), pretreatment prophylaxis, appropria te diet, periodontal check up, fluoride varnish, salivary substitutes which minimize the chance to develop complications.

La respuesta inmune de los triatominos se expresa en la hemolinfa, la saliva y el intestino a través de los eicosanoides, el sistema profenoloxidasa, los péptidos antimicrobianos, las especies reactivas de oxígeno, las reactivas de nitrógeno y los factores de la microbiota intestinal. El género Rhodnius, conformado por 21 especies organizadas en tres grupos, pallescens, pictipes y prolixus, actúan como vectores de Trypanosoma cruzi y T. rangeli en diferentes regiones de Latinoamérica. En varios estudios se ha reportado la actividad lítica en la hemolinfa y en las glándulas salivales de Rhodnius prolixus y R. robustus, del grupo prolixus, contra algunos genotipos de T. cruzi y T. rangeli. Esta actividad lítica no se ha observado en las especies estudiadas de Triatoma y Panstrongylus ni en R. pallescens, R. colombiensis y R. ecuadoriensis del grupo pallescens, o R. pictipes del grupo pictipes. En estudios proteómicos de la hemolinfa y las glándulas salivales de R. prolixus y R. colombiensis se detectaron diferencias en proteínas de respuesta inmune que estarían asociadas con la actividad lítica. Esta respuesta inmune, además de los factores de la microbiota intestinal, la distribución geográfica de los vectores, y los genotipos del parásito, ha llevado a plantear la hipótesis de que el grupo prolixus está conformado por vectores con factores inmunes que determinan la transmisión selectiva de algunos genotipos de T. cruzi y T. rangeli, lo que ha modificado la distribución geográfica de estos parásitos en el continente americano. En esta revisión de la interacción parásito-vector, se presentan resultados publicados entre 1982 y 2023 para respaldar la hipótesis planteada.
Normativa migratoria en Chile: algunos comentarios en perspectiva de derechos respecto a los DESCA
Authors: Sandoval Gallardo María Ignacia
Published: December 2023

Durante los últimos años en Chile los derechos de las personas migrantes han sido objeto de debate nacional, esto producto de la entrada en vigor, durante el año 2022 de la Ley de Migración y Extranjería, que por una parte viene a modernizar la institucionalidad migratoria y a establecer principios y derechos. Pero también, otra instancia de discusión en la materia se ha producido en los procesos constituyentes. La principal temática de análisis de este texto será como la nueva regulación aborda los derechos económicos, sociales, culturales y ambientales(DESCA).
“In my dreams I see a city to live in”. ‘Heimat’ in the tension between ‘common sense’ and the longing for the ‘old world’ in Juli Zeh's dystopian novel "Corpus Delicti. Ein Prozess"
Authors: Burdziej Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

Ziel des Beitrags ist zu untersuchen, welche Bedeutungsvalenzen der Heimatbegriff im Roman von Juli Zeh "Corpus Delicti" hat und wie sich diese je nach Perspektive der einzelnen Figuren verschieben. Die Autorin des Beitrags stellt die These auf, dass die Heimat-Kategorie in diesem Text vor allem als spezifischer Werteraum fungiert und dementsprechend semantisiert wird. Insofern sind die im Roman dargestellten Heimaten nicht primär geographisch-räumlicher, sondern vor allem normativer und sozialer Natur. Um dies zu verdeutlichen, wird anhand einzelner Figuren und ihres Verhältnisses zu den im Roman geschilderten Werteräumen die Spannung zwischen den zwei im Text dargestellten Welten dargestellt: Damit ist erstens die dargestellte Realität gemeint, die in der zweiten Hälfte des 21. Jh. spielt, und zweitens die von bestimmten handelnden Figuren idealisierte Welt des 20. Jh., an die jedoch nur noch nostalgisch erinnert wird. Die vorgeschlagene Lesart von Zehs Roman erweist sich zudem und nicht zuletzt als inspirierend für aktuelle gesellschaftlich-politische Debatten. Denn es wird gegenwärtig zur Tendenz, dass sich Individuen in modernen Gesellschaften immer weniger ortsverbunden fühlen, und stattdessen finden sie ihre eigentlichen Heimaten immer häufiger in Wertesystemen, die sie teilen.
The shame of immigrants. Facets of a painful emotion in German literature on migration with a Polish background
Authors: Masiakowska-Osses Dorota
Published: December 2023

Scham ist eine allgegenwärtige, jedoch schwer zu untersuchende Emotion, die ungern erfahren und oft tabuisiert wird. Die Analyse der ausgewählten Werke von deutschen Autoren polnischer Herkunft, Adam Soboczynski, Alice Bota, Alexandra Tobor und Emilia Smechowski, lässt schlussfolgern, dass darin das sozial und kulturell geprägte Schamgefühl als ein existenzielles Erlebnis im Migrationsprozess dargestellt wird. Vor dem Hintergrund der Aussiedler-Auswanderung aus Polen nach Deutschland in den 1980er-Jahren zeigen die Texte Momente der Selbstreflexion von literarischen Figuren vor einer verinnerlichten fremden Beobachtungsinstanz, deren Normen- und Wertesystem sie mindestens partiell anerkennen. Die literarische Darstellung von Scham umfasst die Repräsentation von mannigfaltigen Schamanlässen (stigmatisierende Herkunft, soziale Stellung, Normverletzung) sowie kurz- und langfristigen Wirkungen der erlebten Entwürdigung auf das Selbstbild und Verhalten der Migranten.
Emotions in media discourses on the example of memes
Authors: Kowalewski Sławomir , Kowalska Laura
Published: December 2023

Der Beitrag hat zum Ziel zu zeigen, mit welchen Mitteln und Strategien Emotionen als kommunikative Phänomene in Memes manifestiert bzw. erzeugt werden können. Das Forschungskorpus umfasst polnische Memes zu den deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen. Die Untersuchungen haben einen interdisziplinären Charakter – sie beruhen in erster Linie auf einem medien- und diskurslinguistischen Ansatz, verbinden damit aber auch Elemente der Emotionsforschung. Der Artikel gliedert sich in einen theoretischen Teil, in dem die für die Analyse grundlegenden Begriffe definiert werden, und einen empirischen Teil. Die Analyse stützt sich dabei auf eine qualitative (interpretative) Herangehensweise. Die ausgewählten Memes werden mit besonderem Fokus auf die Sprache-Bild-Relationen analysiert, die einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Manifestation, Thematisierung und Evokation von Emotionen in dieser (multimodalen) Kommunikationsform haben.
On the content and language of the records in the Red Book of the town Zgorzelec (Görlitz) from the 14th century (1351–1360)
Authors: Owsiński Piotr
Published: December 2023

Der Beitrag konzentriert sich einerseits auf Präsentation des Inhalts, andererseits auf die phonematisch-graphematische Analyse des Textes der Eintragungen (1351–1360) aus dem Görlitzer Stadtbuch. Die genannten Archivalien, die mit den Händen der in der Stadtkanzlei tätigen Kanzlisten niedergeschrieben wurden, gehören dem ersten, im Jahre 1305 angelegten, Görlitzer Stadtbuch an. Die Erforschung der schriftlich fixierten lautlichen Seite der deutschen Sprache bewies eindeutig, dass das damals in Görlitz gebrauchte Deutsch dem Entwicklungsstand aus der Zeit der Wende vom Mittelhochdeutschen zum Frühneuhochdeutschen entspricht, wobei auch einige wenige dialektale Neuerungen angetroffen werden können, was den Text unter die Schriftdenkmäler aus dem ostmitteldeutschen Sprachkreis schlesischer Tradition einreihen lässt.

Authors: Aditya Refangga , Febriyanti Dea
Published: December 2023

This study aims to analyze and provide empirical evidence of the effect of e-commerce and accounting systems as moderating variables on entrepreneurial decision-making. The method used in this research is a quantitative method, with classical assumption test techniques, multiple linear regression analysis, descriptive analysis, and hypothesis testing, using SPSS version 25 software. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires using random sampling techniques distributed to 40 respondents or students. The results of the study based on the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) show that the presence of a moderating variable, namely the variable use of the Accounting Information System based on the android application, will be able to strengthen or increase the influence of the E-Commerce variable on the variables of Entrepreneurial Decision Making in IAIN Salatiga students.
