European Union and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
Authors: ÜNLÜ Adviye Damla
Published: April 2021

United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) on July 7, 2017. The Treaty is a legal instrument that highlights the humanitarian aspect of nuclear disarmament and provides an alternative to the disarmament approach of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Because this Treaty sought to eliminate nuclear weapons, nuclear-weapon states (NWS) and states whose security is based on nuclear deterrence, criticized it for weakening the NPT. However, particular states and supranational nongovernmental organizations, such as the International Campaign for the Elimination of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) opposed nuclear proliferation by carrying out an active, vigorous campaign to ban nuclear weapons and accomplish the goals of the TPNW. Here, two opposing sides emerged on this rather current issue. This study examines the potential of the European Union (EU) which has members from both sides and has policies towards non-proliferation and controlling nuclear weapons since its foundation, to lead and advance the movement of the ban of nuclear weapons, namely the TPNW process. The study intends to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the EU in its support and contribution to the TPNW process, conducting a further discussion on the issue.
‘Hot, Young, Buff’: An Indigenous Australian Gay Male View of Sex Work
Authors: Sullivan Corrinne
Published: April 2021

Research has historically constructed youths who are involved in sex work as victims of trafficking, exploitation, poverty, and substance abuse. These perceptions often cast the sex worker as deviant and in need of ‘care’ and ‘protection.’ Rarely seen are accounts that provide different perspectives and positioning of youth engaged in sex work. This article explores the lived experiences of Jack, a young gay cis-male who identifies as Indigenous Australian. Despite being a highly successful sex worker, his involvement in such a stigmatised occupation means that he must navigate the social and cultural perceptions of ‘deviant’ and ‘dirty’ work. This qualitative study explores the ways in which Jack negotiates his work, his communities, and the capitalisation of his sexuality. Drawing on Indigenous Standpoint Theory and wellbeing theory, Jack’s choice of sex work is explored through the intersections of sexuality and culture, with the consequences of Jack’s social and emotional wellbeing emerging as his narrative unfolds.
Blak, Bi+ and Borderlands: An Autoethnography on Multiplicities of Indigenous Queer Identities Using Borderland Theory
Authors: Henningham Mandy
Published: April 2021

Indigenous queer people often experience a conflict in identity, feeling torn between long-standing cultures and new LGBTIQA+ spaces; however, conflicts are being reframed by new generations of Indigenous queer academics who consider decolonising ideas about white heteronormativity. The following autoethnography of my own Indigenous queer journey (muru) uses narrative analysis to explore the challenges of living between worlds as well as the difficulties in gaining acceptance from multiple cultures. This story, like many others, highlights the power of narrative as it reflects the nuanced experiences of Indigenous queer people with identity multiplicity via the application of borderland theory. The narrative analysis forefronts the wide impact of internalised phobias (homophobia, biphobia, and racism) and its impact on performative self-expression of sexual identity, self-sabotage, institutionalized racism and shadeism, and community acceptance, particularly for bi+ sexual identities. This article will explore existing literature which illustrates how navigating the multiplicity of identities may result in poorer social and emotional wellbeing, particularly for Indigenous queer youth. The article concludes with final comments and suggests future directions in mixed method research with Indigenous queer Australians to better understand and improve their social and emotional wellbeing.
An investigation into the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility disclosures on the satisfaction level of employees during COVID-19 times: Evidences from Multinational Corporations in UAE
Authors: Et. al. Sarwat Jahan,
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this research is to present empirical findings related to the impact of CSR on the job satisfaction level of employees during the Pandemic times, especially in reference to the case of multinational corporations operating within the boundaries of United Arab Emirates. In this context, the factor of CSR was further categorised into three essential constructs of philanthropic responsibilities, environmental responsibilities, and welfare of general public. In reference to the methodological choices, the study has undertaken quantitative research design, which has been supported through the use of positivist philosophy and deductive approach. In addition, the study has collected primary data from a total of 250 employees through questionnaire, which had a total of 5 sections including; demographics, philanthropic responsibility, environmental responsibility, welfare of general public, and employee satisfaction. The study found that employee satisfaction had strongly positive (uphill) linear relationship with the variables of philanthropic responsibilities and environmental responsibilities. The study further elaborated that the organizational philanthropy in the era of Covid-19 has significantly positive impact on the satisfaction levels of employees.

Authors:   Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Darkina Maria
Published: April 2021

The article deals with the problems of the practice of obtaining changes and using an electronic signature (EP) by entrepreneurs in their activities, specifies the normative legal acts regulating the procedure for obtaining an electronic signature by relevant persons and submitting the necessary documents to the certification centers for obtaining it, specifies the types of EP — simple and enhanced, the procedure for using a simple unqualified and enhanced qualified signature. The concept of an electronic signature is defined in accordance with the law. The information contained in the item instance is described: the signature of the person who signed the document, the date and time of signing, its authority and relation to the data being signed, technical information, information for additional signature verification mechanisms, comments, files, a graphic image of the handwritten signature, and other functionally required data. The practice of judicial authorities is analyzed and certain problems of application and use of electronic signatures by legal entities and individuals are identified. We consider the authorities that issue qualified and unqualified certificates of electronic signatures on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as the procedure for producing certificates for EP keys and their validity period. The reasons for the production of an item instance by certification centers (registration centers) and the package of required documents, depending on the status of the applicant, are set out. The role of trading platforms is indicated. The article considers the need to systematize legislative acts, develop a universal digital signature, and create terminals for sending electronic documents to regulatory authorities.
Tüketim Karşıtı Bireylerin Çevreci Reklamlara Olan Tutumları
Authors: ÜLKER Yelda
Published: April 2021

Günümüzde hızlı ve aşırı tüketim sık görülen bir davranıştır. Fakat bu tüketim tarzı hem bireyleri mutsuz etmekte hem de doğaya zarar vermektedir. Bu durum da bilinçlenen tüketicilerin tüketime karşı davranışlar sergilemelerine aracı olabilmektedir. Diğer bir deyişle günümüzde tüketimden zevk almayan ve bilinçsiz tüketim yapmayan tüketim karşıtları bulunmaktadır. Tüketimden zevk almayan, tüketmeye direnen bu bireyler genellikle tutumlu olup, minimal bir yaşam tarzını benimsemekte ve gönüllü sadeliği tercih etmektedir. Bu tarz bir yaşamı benimseyen tüketim karşıtları çevreci davranışlar sergileyip, çevre dostu markaları tercih edebilmektedir. Bu bağlamda araştırmada tüketim karşıtı olan bireylerin materyalizm, tutumluluk ve gönüllü sadeleşme eğilimleri ile çevreci reklamlara olan tutumları, yeşil marka bilinci ve çevreci ürün satın alma niyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olup olmadığı irdelenmektedir. Araştırmada veri toplama tekniği olarak anket uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre tüketicilerdeki materyalizm eğilimi ile çevreci reklamlara olan tutumları, yeşil marka bilinçleri ve çevreci ürünleri satın alma niyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca araştırmada tüketicilerdeki tutumluluk eğilimi ile çevreci reklamlara olan tutumları ve çevreci ürünleri satın alma niyetleri arasında da anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bunların yanı sıra tüketicilerin gönüllü sadeleşmeleri ile tüketicilerin çevreci ürünleri satın alma niyetleri arasında da anlamlı bir ilişki vardır.

Reallocation and Productivity during Commodity Cycles
Authors: Heresi Rodrigo
Published: April 2021

I study the firm-level dynamic response of a commodity-exporting economy to global cycles in commodity prices. To do so, I develop a heterogeneous-firms model that endogenizes declines in aggregate productivity through reallocation towards less productive firms. Within a given sector, commodity booms reallocate market share away from exporters because of currency appreciation and away from capital-intensive firms because of the increase in capital cost. I provide empirical evidence for these channels using microdata for Chile, the worlds largest copper producer. When fed with the commodity super-cycle of 2003-2012, the calibrated model generates about 50% of the observed productivity decline.
Ao Sul das referências: reflexões decoloniais para desierarquizar os processos de produção de conhecimento
Authors: Martins Vera , Rosa Rosane
Published: April 2021

O artigo apresenta uma reflexão a respeito de uma experiência de pesquisa na área da comunicação e dos estudos feministas e de gênero, realizada com mulheres do Brasil e de Moçambique, que privilegiou a utilização de referenciais teóricos decoloniais. O texto discute aspectos relacionados às escolhas de autoras (es) e apresenta os conceitos: axé (SODRÉ, 2017) e disponer de una misma (TZUL TZUL, 2016), para evidenciar a potencialidade dos referenciais decoloniais para democratizar o processo de produção do conhecimento. Nesse contexto, afirmamos que os estudos que promovem o diálogo entre países do sul global, a partir da incorporação de referentes teóricos decoloniais, contribuem para reposicionar, socialmente, as/os sujeitos e de nutrir o processo de teorização com as experiências de sua gente: autoras (es), pesquisadoras (es) de todos os níveis, comunidades, coletivos e movimentos sociais.
À quem recorremos quando falamos sobre gênero na Comunicação? Aspectos de colonialidade e decolonialidade a partir da bibliografia utilizada nas pesquisas da área
Authors: Quesada Tavares Camilla , Goulart Massuchin Michele , Lima de Sousa Leila
Published: April 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir, a partir das referências bibliográficas utilizadas em artigos que apresentam uma intersecção entre Comunicação e Gênero, como aspectos de colonialidade e decolonialidade aparecem na produção científica da área. Para isso, analisamos 155 artigos publicados nos periódicos Qualis A1 e A2, da área da Comunicação e Informação, entre 2000 e 2019, a partir da abordagem bibliométrica, com base em análise textual e de redes. Com essas estratégias, procuramos identificar as temáticas dos trabalhos e os autores mais utilizados nessas pesquisas. Nosso argumento é de que os fenômenos carecem de novas perspectivas epistemológicas, mas isso esbarra em diversos problemas, tais como o foco das referências advindas de países da Europa Ocidental e Estados Unidos.
A tool to model and simulate dynamic business models
Authors: Schaffer Norman , Engert Martin , Leontjevs Girts , Krcmar Helmut
Published: April 2021

Software tools hold great promise to support the modeling, analyzing, and innovation of business models. Current tools only focus on the design of business models and do not incorporate the complexity of existing interdependencies between business model components. These tools merely allow simulating inherent dynamics within the models or different strategic decision scenarios. In this research, we use design science research to develop a prototype that is capable of modeling and simulating dynamic business models. We use system dynamics as a simulation approach and containers to allow deployment as web applications. This paper represents the first of three design cycles, realizing six out of 59 requirements that are collected from the literature on software tools for business models. We contribute toward the design of novel artifacts for business model innovation as well as their evaluation. Future research can use these results to build tools that consider and address the complexity of business models. Lastly, we present several options for extending the proposed tool in the future.
Health 2050: bioinformatics for paid self-repair; a design for future quantified self
Authors: Simons Luuk PA
Published: April 2021

About 75% of our healthcare costs go to four domains (cardio-, onco-, neuro- and metabolic) of diseases which are largely preventable or even reversible. Instead, they are ‘managed’ and made chronic, not cured. This is very costly and unsustainable for the future. Research is showing new opportunities for enhancing our body’s self-repair in a matter of hours or days. We want to empower personal cure with rapid feedback for self-management. What could be an interventionand bio-feedback portfolio to promote health self-repair within hours or days? Using a cross-case design analysis, we found large differences across the four health domains regarding: intervention aims, (self-)measurement options, focus on symptoms vs causes, plus degree of attention for health selfmanagement. Given recent developments in rapid cure, we advise advanced daily bioinformatics feedback, instead of current quarterly cycles, to improve our self-repair effectiveness.
Fertility Trends in European Countries
Authors: Palma Agnieszka
Published: April 2021

This work is intended as an attempt to illustrate and compare the pattern of fertility in European countries: Belarus, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. It deals with the analysis of fertility trends, with an emphasis on birth by parity. Using data from the Human Fertility Database (HFD) from the year 2016, it has considered the parameters of parity progression ratios (PPR), projected parity progression ratios (PPPR), age‑specific fertility rates (ASFR), age‑order specific fertility rates (AOSFR), and cumulated order‑specific fertility rates accordingly analysed. We have applied indicators known as the projected parity progression ratios to estimate trends of fertility. These offer a more detailed view of the family formation process than the traditional total fertility rate (TFR).

Background: The selection of genetically superior animals at an early stage of life, the molecular markers are used along with traditional selection. The study was carried out to identify the genetic polymorphism in the exon3 region of the Prolactin and enumerate its effect on milk production performance in Sahiwal cattle. Prolactin plays an imperative regulatory role in mammary gland development, milk emission and lactogenesis. Analysed the sequence of this gene to explore whether mutations in this sequence and it could be accountable for quantitative variations in milk production and its composition traits. Methods: Total DNA was isolated from the blood samples of 98 pedigreed Sahiwal population. Using PCR-RFLP method and direct sequencing, noticed a single-nucleotide polymorphism in exon3 region of the Prolactin gene in 156bp and also the effect of non- genetic factors on each trait was assessed by least-squares analysis for non-orthogonal data by a fixed model. Result: PCR-RFLP was done with RsaI restriction endonuclease for the identification of different genotypes. The frequency of G and A alleles of the Prolactin gene was evaluated as 0.575 and 0.425, whereas the frequencies of GG, GA and AA genotypes for the Prolactin gene were 0.45, 0.25 and 0.30, respectively. SNP (G55A) conferred an increase in test-day milk yield around 321.5g, in test day fat yield around 13.9g and in test day SNF yield increase was 19.4g, respectively. High correlation was perceived from test day (TD2) onwards between test day traits and lactation milk yield indicating that selection based on identified SNP in TD2 increased test day milk yield, fat yield and SNF yield by 1.1472 kg, 29.6gm and 45.4gm, respectively.
The ontology of resistance between power and knowledge
Authors: Al Sheikh Hanan Muneer
Published: April 2021

The ontology of human resistance accentuates its existence through several expressive means with the most important being Art; as art transforms the question of resistance into a self-practice that starts with the artists and transfers between the inside and the outside in a continuous, creative and effective mutual relationship in order to emphasise the battle of existence conflict, ideology and Epistemology within the general framework of power. This philosophic analysis is based on the hypotheses of having a multilateral factor that continues with the past legacy on the one hand and interprets the present while overpassing it on the other, in order to create a state of creativity that represents the intellectual, emotional, cognitive and historical inventory, while posing a situation of continuous wondering among individuals and groups. This artistic state unifies the indicators of symbolisations and makes resistance represented in a contemporary visual discourse that rejects dominance, accentuates the identity and transforms the theoretical intellectual question into a practiced anthological act that is featured of permanent activity as a perpetual act towards liberation and reproducing self-existence.

Published: April 2021

Introduction: Housing stability is an impor­tant determinant of health, but no studies to our knowledge have examined the spill-over effects of neighborhood eviction rates on individual risk of preterm birth (PTB) among African American women.Objective: We assessed whether living in a neighborhood with high eviction rates was associated with risk of PTB among African American women, and whether marital/co­habiting status modified the association.Methods: We spatially linked interview, medical record, and current address data from the Life-course Influences on Fetal Environments Study (2009-2011, N=1386) of postpartum African American women from Metropolitan Detroit, Michigan, to publicly available data on block-group level rates of eviction filings and judgements. PTB was defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation and occurred in 16.3% of the sample (n=226). Eviction rate vari­ables were rescaled by their interquartile ranges (75th vs 25th percentiles). Women self-reported whether they were married to, or cohabiting with, the father of their baby during the in-person interview. We used Modified Poisson regression with robust er­ror variance to estimate relative risks of PTB associated with each eviction variable sepa­rately and included an interaction term with marital/cohabiting status (P<.10 considered significant) in adjusted models.Results: In the overall sample, neighbor­hood eviction filings and judgements did not predict PTB, but the associations were modified by marital/cohabiting status (P for interaction = .02, and .06, respectively). Among women who were married/cohabit­ing, those who lived in neighborhoods with high eviction filings (adjusted relative risk: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06, 1.47) and eviction judgements (adjusted relative risk: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.33) had higher risk of PTB than women who did not. Little evidence of an association was observed for women who were not married/cohabiting.Conclusions: Future studies should examine the mechanisms of the reported associations to identify novel intervention targets (eg, addressing landlord discrimina­tion) and policy solutions (eg, ensuring a living wage and providing affordable hous­ing assistance to everyone who qualifies) to reduce the burden of PTB among African Americans.

EGY MAGYAR KÓSZÁLÓ FRANCIAORSZÁGI ÚTLEÍRÁSA
Authors: BENDA Mihály
Published: April 2021

1947-ben Illyés Gyula kétszer járt Franciaországban. Az év elején öt hetet töltött Párizsban, majd novemberben Dél-Franciaországba utazott. A két utazását útirajzban is megörökítette. Tanulmányom a párizsi út leírásával és a Franciaországi változatokkal foglalkozik. Az útleírás jellegzetessége, hogy mozaikszerű és eltérő stílusú szövegek gyűjteménye: keveredik benne az esszé és a tényleges útleírás, amelyeknek nagy része sétáló leírás. A mű időstruktúrája is szaggatott, illetve az elbeszélés idejében sok az ellipszis, a kihagyás. Az egész útleírást áthatja a kószáló esztétikája. A sétáló leírás és a sétáló figurája a XIX. század során válik népszerűvé, amikor megjelenik egy új „táj” is, a város. Illyés művében nemcsak sétáló leírásokat találunk, de művének szaggatott formája a kihagyásokkal is megjeleníti a sétálást. Így a mű nemcsak tartalmi szinten, hanem formájában is színpadra állítja a sétálás aktusát.

A textológia alapvetően gyakorlatorientált tudományos tevékenység. Mégis magyarországi és nemzetközi példák mutatják, hogy a tudományos szövegkiadással foglalkozó kutatóknak is időnként szembe kell nézniük az irodalomtudományban meghatározó szerepre jutó elméletek kihívásaival. Az alábbiakban a Babits-versek kritikai szövegkiadásának gyakorlati tapasztalata alapján azt vizsgálom, hogy az írógép megjelenése milyen hatással van a versek keletkezésére. Ebben a vizsgálatban Friedrich Kittler mediológiai téziseire támaszkodom. A célom, hogy bemutassam, milyen lehetőségek kínálkoznak a textológia számára a kézírás és a gépírás különbségének leírására. Végezetül pedig irodalomtörténeti nézőpontból arra térek ki, hogy a médiumtörténetben is tetten érhető mechanizáció milyen hatással van Babits gondolkodására, és milyen nyomokat hagy költői világképében.

O Brasil possui considerável importância no cenário global da cadeia de alimentos de origem animal, sendo esta influenciada pela situação política, econômica e social do país. Neste contexto, iniciativas para defesa dos alimentos com base em requisitos internacionais se fazem necessárias para garantir competitividade estratégica em relação aos demais mercados e a saúde de seus consumidores. Atualmente, o Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 96 do governo inglês é uma referência por sua objetividade e simplicidade no tema, com a finalidade de garantir a segurança dos alimentos contra possíveis ataques intencionais. Entretanto, a indústria de alimentos de origem animal apresenta desafios proporcionais à sua complexidade demonstrando a relevância do tema. Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar uma releitura do PAS, direcionamentos para implementação de programa de Food Defense com base no documento e sua importância para a cadeia de alimentos de origem animal brasileira.
Insegurança Alimentar no Brasil após crise, sua evolução de 2004 a 2017-2018 e comparação com a variação da pobreza
Authors: Hoffmann Rodolfo
Published: April 2021

Dados para aplicação da Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar foram coletados pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística em complementos da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios em 2004, 2009 e 2013. Com a divulgação dos dados obtidos na Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares 2017-2018, os pesquisadores passam a dispor de uma série de quatro anos de dados sobre o tema provenientes de amostras representativas do que ocorre em todo o país. A insegurança alimentar diminuiu de 2004-2013, mas cresceu em 2017-2018. Os dados indicam que a insegurança alimentar grave em 2017-2018 é maior que em 2013, mas fica abaixo do valor observado em 2009. Mas a insegurança alimentar de qualquer grau em 2017-2018 supera até mesmo o valor observado em 2004. Analisando dados por Unidade da Federação mostra-se a forte associação da insegurança alimentar com a distribuição da renda e particularmente com medidas de pobreza. Verifica-se, com dados da PNAD, que o nível de pobreza caiu de 2003 a 2014 e, embora tenha subido de 2014 a 2017-2018, nestes anos fica substancialmente abaixo do valor observado em 2004. Argumenta-se, então, que o grande crescimento da insegurança alimentar leve de 2013 a 2017-2018 se deve, em parte, ao caráter parcialmente subjetivo da EBIA. Em outra seção do artigo, os microdados da POF 2017-2018 são utilizados para verificar os principais determinantes da probabilidade de insegurança alimentar nos domicílios. Comprovou-se que o aumento da renda e da escolaridade são instrumentos básicos para reduzir a IA e que rendas estáveis tem efeito benéfico adicional.

Published: April 2021

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo lograr la ocupabilidad total de salas de Cineplanet ubicadas en Lima Metropolitana, siendo ésta la empresa líder en el mercado de exhibición de películas. Con referencia a la ocupabilidad de las salas de cine a diciembre 2019, esta alcanza un 50% de capacidad ociosa; sin embargo, dada la coyuntura actual debido al panorama COVID 19, la ocupabilidad se ve afectada por diversos factores sociales y políticos, siendo los de mayor interés para el usuario: temor a la propagación del virus, priorización de gastos en bienes esenciales, cambio de hábitos en el consumidor, reducción de aforo, entre otros; los mismos que han sido resultado de la evaluación y presentados en estudios secundarios, los cuales proyectan a disminuir la afluencia en cines con un alcance del 20% de asistencia en el 2021. Teniendo en cuenta lo expuesto y considerando que el gobierno considere un aforo de 30% para las cadenas de cine planteamos cubrir la totalidad del aforo para el 2021. Para cumplir con este objetivo realizamos un estudio de mercado donde aplicamos las técnicas y herramientas de investigación, que nos ayudó a identificar las necesidades del consumidor, el nivel de satisfacción de la marca, la intención de afluencia post panorama COVID 19 y las nuevas oportunidades ligadas al negocio. La estrategia de Cineplanet es el crecimiento y expansión a través de nuevas locaciones en diversas ubicaciones geográficas, por lo cual, en este plan proponemos como modelo de negocio buscar satisfacer las necesidades del consumidor, la cual se reflejará en el crecimiento de la empresa.

Authors:   , Ferrer Honores Julio Renato
Published: April 2021

La investigación inició con la necesidad de determinar si el rendimiento laboral tiene relación con la rotación interna del personal, ya que en la actualidad los colaboradores no buscan quedarse en una empresa por años, sino que buscan la manera de desarrollar sus habilidades y crecer dentro de la misma, de lo contrario estarán disponibles a mejores oportunidades laborales. En esta investigación se estudió a la empresa APM Terminals, la cual pertenece al grupo danés A.P. Moller Maersk, un conglomerado de negocios con más de 100 años de experiencia y liderazgo en la industria marítima. Cada año se percibe en la empresa rotación en el área de almacén. Es por ello que se tuvo como objetivo principal identificar la relación que hay entre las dos variables en estudio para que la empresa tome medidas correctivas dependiendo del resultado que se obtenga. Iniciamos por definir las variables a estudiar que son la rotación de personal y el rendimiento laboral, analizando las definiciones de importantes autores, causas, tipos e índices para tener un mayor apoyo para la investigación. Finalmente analizamos como se relacionan estas variables dentro de la empresa presentando los resultados calculados en el programa SPSS, el cual nos sirvió de apoyo para la realización de la discusión, conclusiones y recomendaciones.
The Finance Unconscious: Is Everything in the Financial Market Driven by Consciousness?
Authors: Milovidov V.
Published: April 2021

The article explores unconscious motivations of human behavior in the financial market. Author introduces the following new notions: 1) “financial magnetism”, i.e. the motivation which is responsible for attracting investor to the market, and enables the investor’s “internal compass” to indicate the way through the market uncertainty; 2) “propensity to presence”, i.e. the motivation to wait, to be calm, not to panic in the very volatile market conditions, to have internal felling of the right moment to act; 3) “automotive volition”, i.e. the motivation, even the inner-directed force to get the goals, find the solutions, make decisions, and do best in the situations when no enough time to think and make the right choice is available.
Requiem on Democracy
Authors: Gadzhiev K.
Published: April 2021

The paper attempts to identify and analyze one of the directions of the evolution of modern Western-style democracy in the information and telecommunication revolution and globalization. The main attention is paid to trends of review and re-evaluation of some basic values, principles and guidelines of the new liberalism, which for most of the twentieth century served as the basis of political democracy. The author substantiates the thesis whereby part of the Western intellectual establishment and political elite try to regenerate liberalism into libertarianism, whereby in the idea of democracy must prevail extreme vari-ants of interpretation of human rights and freedoms.

Turbulence caused by the rearview mirror and A-pillar is the main source of interior wind noise. Because of the difference in energy and transfer efficiency of acoustic and turbulent pressure, it is important to accurately identify the two kinds of pressure on the window surface when studying interior wind noise. Wave Number Decomposition (WND) and Pellicular Mode Decomposition (PMD) are successfully applied to decompose the pressure on the window. Furthermore, the transfer function calculated by pellicular analysis is used to calculate the interior wind noise, and the result is compared with the result calculated by the Finite Element Method (FEM) and measured by the experiment. The results revealed that the interior wind noise calculated by the pellicular analysis method is almost the same as the result calculated by the FEM, and that it presents obvious advantages in computational efficiency.
Optical properties of atmospheric aerosol over Cape Town, Western Cape of South Africa: Role of biomass burning
Authors: Yakubu Abdulaziz Tunde , Chetty Naven
Published: April 2021

The optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol are vital in the determination of the regional climate trend. Biomass burning is typically known to influence aerosol optical characteristics. Following the incessant biomass burning and the recent drop in precipitation over Western Cape, the aerosol optical properties with a focus on the impact of biomass burning are studied over Cape Town using data from AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) and MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). In general terms, measurements from both platforms significantly agree on the estimates of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and water vapor content (WVC). The mean AOD 0.075 (± 0.022) and Ångström exponent (AE) 0.63 (± 0.19) derived from AERONET demonstrate the dominance of coarse mode aerosol typical of maritime aerosol. Similarly, aerosol particle size distributions display the predominance of coarse mode particles. However, the derived refractive index is more representative of urban-industrial aerosol. Also, estimated back-trajectories show that more than 70% of the aerosol particles over the region originate over the ocean. Atmospheric vapor increases from winter to summer and mainly influenced by air temperature, supersaturation level, and absorbing aerosol. Furthermore, two significant sources accounted for biomass burning related to high AOD values: local biomass burning and regionally transported aged smoke majorly from elsewhere in Sothern Africa.

Despite growing evidence that COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting communities of color, state-reported racial/ethnic data are insufficient to measure the true impact.

We found that between April 12, 2020, and November 9, 2020, the number of US states reporting COVID-19 confirmed cases by race and ethnicity increased from 25 to 50 and 15 to 46, respectively. However, the percentage of confirmed cases reported with missing race remained high at both time points (29% on April 12; 23% on November 9). Our analysis demonstrates improvements in reporting race/ethnicity related to COVID-19 cases and deaths and highlights significant problems with the quality and contextualization of the data being reported.

We discuss challenges for improving race/ethnicity data collection and reporting, along with opportunities to advance health equity through more robust data collection and contextualization. To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on racial/ethnic minorities, accurate and high-quality demographic data are needed and should be analyzed in the context of the social and political determinants of health.

Design and Numerical Optimization of Gas Guidance System in Casting Silicon Furnace by the Orthogonal Experiment
Authors: Su Wenjia , Li Jiulong , Li Chen , Yang Wei , Wang Junfeng
Published: April 2021

3D global simulations were performed to investigate the gas flow and impurities transport in casting silicon furnace under the influence of a unique designed spray-type gas guidance system (GGS). The simulation results show that, the intensity of backflow at crucible outlet had no obvious change with the application of this GGS, but the flow area of backflow was effectively inhibited above the melt free surface and the kinetic rate of reaction was weakened at the cover. Finally, the area-average concentration of CO at the melt free surface was decreased by 31%. The GGS was optimized by the orthogonal experiment, including the argon flow rate (Q), length of deflector (L) and distance between GGS and melt free surface (H). When Q = 40 L/min, H = 50 mm and L = 50 mm, the GGS had the most obvious effect on removing impurities.
Environmental exposure and clinical correlates of hepatocellular carcinoma in New York City: A case only study

Published: April 2021

In the U.S., Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence rates have increased. We aimed to determine whether environmental exposure plays a role in the high incidence of HCC observed in New York City. We conducted a hospital-based case only study to examine the prevalence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-albumin adducts and the distribution of adducts by different characteristics of HCC patients. Blood samples were collected from 155 HCC patients for biomarker analyses. We observed that about 46% and 49% of cases had detectable AFB1- and PAH-albumin adducts, respectively. There were significant differences between AFB1-albumin adducts and selected factors such as HCV infection status (p = 0.04), diabetes (p = 0.03) and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage (p = 0.02). Cases with detectable PAH-albumin adducts had a smoking history compared with those with nondetectable levels (p = 0.04). The level of AFB1-albumin adducts was positively correlated with plasma bilirubin (rs=0.32, p < 0.0001) and adiponectin concentrations (rs=0.28, p = 0.0005). The level of aflatoxin B1-albumin adducts was negatively associated with blood albumin concentration (rs=-0.28, p = 0.0009) and plasma DNA LINE-1 methylation (rs=-0.16, p = 0.04). Our study provides additional evidence that environmental exposures including to aflatoxin might partially explain the increase in the incidence of HCC in the US.

Published: April 2021

The coating effect on the cutting temperature has long been a hot topic in understanding heat transfer mechanism in machining coated tools, and especially the multi-layer coated tools. For multi-layer coated tools, the coating structure, coating thickness and coating material will affect the cutting temperature of the tool. This paper is devoted to the cutting temperature in dry turning of H13 hardened steel with multi-layer coatings. New analytical models for estimating coating temperature and coating-substrate interface temperature were proposed. The multi-layer coating can be equivalent to mono-layer composite coating, which applies equivalent coating layer approach, and was developed to estimate the cutting temperature in turning by heat transfer model of mono-layer coated tool. The analyzed results were compared to appropriate experimental process data using thermocouples and FEM simulated data. The models were verified can accurate temperature under the same cutting conditions for two multi-layer coated tools.
Covid-19, the perfect time to broaden our horizons about social media use in oncology? A survey study with healthcare professionals caring for youth with cancer
Authors: Rost Michael , Espeli Vittoria , Ansari Marc , Weid Nicholas von der , Elger Bernice , Clercq Eva De
Published: April 2021

Purpose

The study aims to explore the attitudes of Swiss healthcare professionals towards the use of social media in adolescent and young adult oncology and to examine whether the ongoing social restrictions due COVID-19 might have altered these attitudes.
Methods

This study was cross-sectional in design. The subjects were healthcare providers working in pediatric or adult oncology settings in Switzerland. We performed descriptive and inferential statistical analyses.
Results

While considered useful, only a small minority of participants actually used social media for professional reasons and considered themselves skillful in using these platforms. Although institutional guidelines were deemed crucial to improve social media use, many respondents seemed unaware of their existence. Only a minority reported an impact of Covid-19 on their attitudes towards the professional implementation of social media.
Conclusion

The global health crisis creates important challenges for young patients with cancer and their healthcare providers. In times of social restrictions, social media may be promising tools to facilitate health information provision, connectivity and patient care. Virtual mentorship and target social media training interventions might be the best way to improve familiarity with social media and with ethical guidelines for their use.

Salivary exosomes contain various components and play an important role in oral diseases. We found that the expression of miR-223-3p in salivary exosomes was down regulated in inflammatory gingival tissue, and NLRP3 was the target of miR-223-3p. It has been reported that NLRP3 was involved in the formation of inflammasome and induced a type of cell death by cleaving gsdermin D (GSDMD), which is called pyroptosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of miR-223-3p in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and pyroptosis. We found that miR-223-3p down regulated the activation of NLRP3, IL-1 β and caspase-1, and then released the pyroptosis of THP-1-derived macrophages inducing by Porphyromonas gingivalis -LPS ( P. gingivalis -LPS). In addition, NLRP3, and GSDMD was highly active in inflammatory gingival tissue compared with healthy controls. In summary, we hypothesized that miR-223-3p in salivary exosomes regulates GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis by targeting NLRP3. Detection of miR-223-3p expression in salivary exosomes could be used as an important non-invasive method to diagnose and evaluate the severity of periodontitis.
