Taming Heterogeneous Aspects with Crosscutting Interfaces
Authors: Chavez Christina von Flach G. , Garcia Alessandro , Kulesza Uirá , Sant’Anna Cláudio , Lucena Carlos
Published: March 2023

Aspect-oriented software development promotes improved separation of concerns by introducing a new modular unit, called aspect, for the modularization of crosscutting concerns. As a new kind of modular unit, aspects should have explicit interfaces that describe the way they interact with the rest of the system and how they affect other modules. This interaction can be homogeneous, for example, by providing a logging behavior that affects all procedures in a certain interface; or it can be heterogeneous, for example, by implementing the two sides of a protocol that affects two different classes. In this paper, we present crosscutting interfaces as a conceptual tool for dealing with the complexity of heterogeneous aspects at the design level. Crosscutting interfaces have been incorporated by the aSideML modeling language in order to enhance aspect description at the design level. Moreover, we present a modeling notation for the description of architecture-level aspects that also supports the explicit representation of crosscutting interfaces. Finally, we present a large-scale case study we have performed using this modeling language that supports our arguments in favor of crosscutting interfaces.
Automatic test data generation for path testing using a new stochastic algorithm
Authors: Abreu Bruno T. de , Martins Eliane , Sousa Fabiano L. de
Published: March 2023

Software testing is an important activity of the software development process, and automate test data generation contributes to reduce cost and time efforts. Path testing is a complex problem and metaheuristics have been proposed to deal with it. In this paper, an initial assessment of the efficacy of a recently proposed metaheuristic, the Generalized Extremal Optimization (GEO), in dealing with such kind of problem is made. Results show that it can be very competitive with the frequently used Genetic Algorithm (GA) metaheuristic, while requiring a much lesser effort in parameter setting, making it an alternative to such method in path testing.

Digitalisierung aus Beschäftigtensicht. Fehlende Mitgestaltung, belastender Zusatzaufwand, mangelnde Wertschätzung
Authors: CARLS KRISTIN , GEHRKEN HINRICH , KUHLMANN MARTIN , SPLETT BARBARA , THAMM LUKAS
Published: March 2023

Auf Basis von qualitativen und quantitativen Daten aus vergleichenden Fallstudien werden Beschäftigtenwahrnehmungen von betrieblichen Digitalisierungsprozessen im Hinblick auf Arbeits- und Gesundheitswirkungen analysiert und Ansatzpunkte für eine gesundheitsförderliche Gestaltung von Digitalisierungsprozessen formuliert. Folgende Befunde stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt: Digitalisierung produziert nicht vorrangig neue, sondern verschärft vor allem bestehende körperliche, umgebungs- und leistungsbezogene Belastungen. Grund hierfür sind in erster Linie betriebliche Gestaltungsdefizite in Form fehlender Mitgestaltungsmöglichkeiten der Beschäftigten und eines nicht ausreichend an den Arbeitsprozess angepassten Technikeinsatzes. Diese Konstellation ist nicht nur für das Wohlbefinden der Beschäftigten belastend ; sie führt außerdem zu Missachtungserfahrungen bezogen auf subjektive Anerkennungs- und Gestaltungsansprüche. Für eine gesundheitsförderlichere Gestaltung von Digitalisierungsprozessen ist es somit zentral, dass institutionalisierte Organisationsformen für Technikmitgestaltung geschaffen und so ein unmittelbarer Arbeitsbezug von Gestaltungsprozessen hergestellt werden.
Digitalisierung in der Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Entwicklung und aktueller Stand
Authors: KAPS PETRA , OSCHMIANSKY FRANK
Published: March 2023

Die Dienstleistungen der Sozialverwaltungen werden zunehmend digitalisiert. Die Corona-Pandemie hat diesen Prozess noch beschleunigt. Dennoch fehlt es an einem kompakten Überblick zum Stand der Entwicklungen. Wenig ist zudem bekannt, welche Auswirkungen die Digitalisierung in der Arbeitsverwaltung einerseits für die dort Beschäftigten und ihre Arbeitsbedingungen und andererseits für die Ratsuchenden hat. Diese Lücke versucht der Beitrag ein Stück weit zu schließen. Er liefert einen Überblick über zentrale Aktivitäten der Bundesagentur für Arbeit zur Digitalisierung ihrer Dienstleistungen in den letzten Jahren. Es zeigt sich, dass die hohe Veränderungsdynamik neue Chancen eröffnet, zugleich aber auch Herausforderungen für die Beschäftigten birgt. Anhand von zwei Studien zur Umsetzung von Video-Beratungen im SGB-II- und SGB-III-Bereich werden Erkenntnisse zu Einstellungen der Mitarbeitenden zur Digitalisierung, ihre Selbsteinschätzungen zu digitalen Kompetenzen und zu beobachteten Coping-Strategien im Umgang mit diesen Herausforderungen berichtet. Insbesondere durch die elektronische Aktenhaltung und die Videokommunikation eröffnen sich neue Flexibilisierungsräume für die Mitarbeitenden, sodass Beratung und Vermittlung auch besser auf die Bedarfe der Ratsuchenden abgestimmt werden können. Dies erfordert von der Organisation neue Arbeitszeitregelungen, passgenaue Weiterbildung und eine adäquate technische Ausstattung für die Beschäftigten.
Comics begreifen
Authors: Eckhoff-Heindl Nina
Published: March 2023

Welchen Einfluss hat unsere Wahrnehmung auf Comic-Erzählungen? Nina Eckhoff-Heindl entwickelt ein Modell ästhetischer Erfahrung und zeigt, welche Bedeutung die Handhabung eines Comics – das Umblättern von Seiten und deren Haptik – hat. Anhand von Chris Wares Building Stories (2012) analysiert sie unterschiedliche visuell-taktile Mechanismen. Comics zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass eine Erzählung über mehrere Bilder hinweg entwickelt wird. Ebenso charakteristisch ist auch ihre Handhabung. Denn für die Wahrnehmung eines Comics sind das Umblättern und die Haptik von Seiten, das Auf- und Zuschlagen von Doppelseiten und das Scrollen oder Wischen auf digitalen Geräten von großer Bedeutung. Chris Wares vielteiliger Comic Building Stories, der u. a. mehrere Heftformate, ein gefaltetes Spielbrett, Leporellos und Faltblätter umfasst, dient Nina Eckhoff-Heindl als Ausgangspunkt ihrer Studie. Welche neuen Interpretationshorizonte ergeben sich durch den Fokus auf die ästhetische Erfahrung und das Begreifen eines Comics? Die Autorin veranschaulicht das Potenzial visuell-taktilen Erzählens und zeigt, welche Rolle Visualität, Materialität und Handhabung für eine Comicerzählung spielen.
Kunst sehen ist sich selbst sehen
Authors: Janhsen Angeli
Published: March 2023

Christian Boltanski und Bill Viola begegnen dem Misstrauen »Objektivem« gegenüber mit einer Kultur des »Subjektiven«. Ihre Kunst fordert ihre Betrachter zur Selbstreflexion auf und erwartet von ihnen neue Umgangsweisen. Boltanski deutet die Funktion seiner Kunst mit einem Bild an: »Ein Künstler ist jemand, der einen Spiegel hält. Jeder, der vorübergeht, kann sich darin sehen.« Wie ein persönlicher und zugleich nicht beliebiger Umgang mit der Kunst aussehen kann, wird an zwei Werkanalysen deutlich: an Boltanskis Installation »Die toten Schweizer« und an Violas Videoinstallation »The Stopping Mind«. Angeli Janhsen stellt das Sehen und Denken in Analogien in den Mittelpunkt und macht damit diese Kunst kunstwissenschaftlich fundiert zugänglich.

Der datenschutzrechtliche Auskunftsanspruch
Authors: Peisker Yannick
Published: March 2023

The subject of the thesis is a comprehensive analysis of Article 15 of the GDPR. It critically examines all relevant decisions as well as the academic literature and does not lose sight of the practice; for the employment context, the unusable should not be proposed. Especially in the employment context, large amounts of data are processed, which sometimes triggers particular frictions. The employment context therefore supplements the data protection basis at selected points. With this approach, the thesis is intended to make an important contribution to improving practical implementation, especially in the employment relationship, as a legally secure clarification of all questions is not yet in sight.

Kommunale Nachhaltigkeitsberichte
Authors: Fieber Andreas , Eggerl Matthias
Published: March 2023

Nachhaltigkeit messbar machen Nachhaltigkeitsberichte sind DAS Instrument, um den aktuellen Stand der drei Nachhaltigkeits-Dimensionen (ökonomisch, ökologisch und sozial) in einer Kommune glaubwürdig zu bilanzieren. Die eigenen Anstrengungen, aber auch Problemfelder und Herausforderungen werden herausgearbeitet. Die Erkenntnisse aus dem Bericht helfen dabei, Entscheidungen zugunsten von Artenvielfalt und Klimaschutz durchzusetzen und die Lebens- und Wohnqualität in der Kommune zu erhöhen. Viele Städte und Gemeinden scheuen jedoch den Aufwand. Die Intention dieses Buches ist es daher, die Verbreitung kommunaler Nachhaltigkeitsberichte zu fördern und zu erleichtern. Dafür wird ein eigenes Konzept auf Basis der Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) vorgestellt, das auf Gemeinden jeder Größe anwendbar ist. Der Leitfaden Kommunale Nachhaltiglkeitsberichte bietet Verantwortlichen und Interessierten Orientierung und unterstützt bei der praktischen Umsetzung: Warum ist es notwendig und sinnvoll, über Nachhaltigkeit zu berichten? Woher lassen sich Daten und Fakten der Kommune einholen? Mit welchem Zeitaufwand ist zu rechnen? Welche Handlungsfelder der kommunalen Aufgaben sind für die nachhaltige Entwicklung relevant? Welche Indikatoren können zur Abbildung der SDGs auf lokaler Ebene herangezogen werden? Welche Stellen bieten Unterstützung an? Viele Praxis-Tipps und zahlreiche Beispiele vereinfachen darüber hinaus die Berichterstellung. Die Autoren haben ihr Konzept in der bayerischen Gemeinde Rott a. Inn erprobt – Nachmachen ist ausdrücklich erwünscht.
Perioperative Analgesia in Caesarean Section: What’s New?
Authors: Ramón Saucillo-Osuna José , Antonio Wilson-Manríquez Eduardo , Nicte López-Hernández Mercedes , Lilia Garduño-López Ana
Published: March 2023

Caesarean section is associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain during the first 24 hours after surgery. Inadequate pain management can influence recovery, maternal psychological well-being and breastfeeding. In the search of alternatives to minimize the use of systemic opioids, new recommendations have been made to implement protocols to improve recovery after caesarean section, with multimodal analgesia, new suggestions for neuraxial techniques, regional analgesia with ultrasound-guided fascial plane blocks and non-pharmacological approaches. Some of the interventions, such as epidural or spinal blocks, although effective, carry a significant risk of complications (for example post-puncture headache). In their place, newer alternatives such as interventions guided by ultrasound are safe and effective for relieving pain in this common clinical context. The goal of this chapter is to provide clinicians with up-to-date evidence for optimal pain management after elective caesarean section.
Guidelines for Environmental Noise Management in Developing Countries
Authors: Schwela Dietrich
Published: March 2023

This chapter describes the challenges of environmental noise policies and governance, noise emissions, noise transmission modeling, and those of health and economic risk assessment in developing countries. It bases on an analysis of current legislation regarding noise pollution in major developing countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Although legislators are engaged in promulgating laws and regulations explicit procedures for noise measurement, noise mapping, development of a healthy and comfortable soundscape, and the implementation and enforcement of legislation are rarely developed. A strategic framework approach is needed to overcome these challenges and enable countries to achieve sustainable environmental noise management. Guidelines are provided to resolve these tasks to better protect the population of urban areas against the health end economic impacts of environmental noise.
Ludus Reading and RoboKind™ Robots Increase Early Literacy Rates
Authors: Redcay Jessica
Published: March 2023

The research study aimed to examine the influence of a new model for reading instruction combining Ludus Reading and RoboKind™ Robots on first-grade students’ phonics skills and attitudes toward reading. Ludus Reading phonics instruction involves explicit and systematic lessons with underpinnings in play-based, technology, and multisensory techniques. RoboKind™ Robots are facially expressive, assistive humanoid robots that can be coded to talk, move, and display images on their chest screen. The RoboKind™ Robots were programmed to act as teaching assistants and help the teacher during the Ludus Reading phonic lesson. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was used to examine three research questions comparing the differences between pre-and post-scores when using Ludus Reading and RoboKind™ Robots in terms of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELSⓇ) Correct Letter Sound (CLS), DIBELSⓇ Whole Words Read (WWR), and Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (ERAS) scores between the group receiving Ludus Reading and RoboKind™ Robots instruction and the control group. The null hypotheses for Research Questions 1–3 were rejected. The results supported the use of Ludus Reading and RoboKind™ Robots to teach phonics because the experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant increase in their ability to decode and a positive attitude toward reading.

Published: March 2023

Microbiomics represents a new science studying the microbiome, consisting of all the microorganisms of a given community. This new science collects data about all the members of the microbial community and quantifies the molecules responsible for the structure, function, and dynamics of the microbiome. The human microbiome plays a very important role in the healthy state and in a variety of disease states. The human microbiome knowledge has evolved during the last decades and nowadays one can consider that, in particular, the gut microbiota is seen as a significant organ holding 150 times more genes compared to the human genome. This chapter will focus on discussing the normal and modified phyla and species of the gut microbiome in a variety of conditions, providing a better understanding of host-microbiome interactions. We will highlight some new associations between intestinal dysbiosis and acute or chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
Novel Anti-Obesity Pharmacotherapies
Authors: Ghomraoui Firas , Srivastava Gitanjali
Published: March 2023

Obesity is a global disease that causes or exacerbates many severe weight-related complications such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. Though there are concerted efforts to combat this disease through several means, lifestyle therapy is still considered the mainstay treatment for obesity. Unfortunately, patients with obesity respond either modestly or unfavorable to lifestyle intervention alone. Although the classical definition of an AOM is a medication that can help reduce at least 5% of body weight over a period of 3 months, the more novel agents have far surpassed that. There are presently six major FDA-approved medications: orlistat, phentermine monotherapy, phentermine-topiramate, naltrexone-bupropion, liraglutide 3.0 mg, and semaglutide 2.4 mg. Great strides have been made in the development of more novel agents, particularly those that affect either the gut hormones controlling satiety or certain pancreatic hormones. In this chapter, we will discuss current and upcoming novel AOMs available to treat and manage obesity. We will explore the novel endocrine peptides that are presently market accessible and how treating to target is feasible in the new era of obesity medicine. Further clinical trials must be conducted to pave the way for safer and more effective agents with greater access and affordability.

Literature And Sociolinguistics: A Stylistic Study Of Modern Urdu Poetry In The Context Of English Diction
Authors: Amjad Shabbir
Published: March 2023

This study delves into the use of English Diction in modern Urdu poetry and its impact on the stylistic context. The research focuses on selected poets and their incorporation of English words and phrases into their Urdu poetry. The study aims to understand how this inclusion affects the literary style and meaning of the poetry. It also explores the sociolinguistic implications of this phenomenon on the Urdu language and the relationship between the poets and their audience. This article aims to explore the stylistic implications of this trend through a stylistic analysis of the selected Urdu poets: Asad Muhammad Khan, Iftikhar Jalib, Salim-ul-Rehman, Akhtar Usman, Azra Abbas, Afzal Ahmed Syed, Zahra Nagah, Parveen Shakir,  Zee Shan Sahil, Naseer Ahmad Nasir, Ali Muhammad Farshi, Waheed Ahmad, Rawish Nadeem and Arshad Meraj. The influence of English on Urdu can be seen as a reflection of the increasing globalization and Westernization of Pakistani society. The poets included in this study represent different generations and come from different parts of Pakistan, but they all share a common experience of growing up in a society that is increasingly exposed to English. The stylistic implications of the use of English Diction in Urdu poetry are varied and complex. On one hand, it can be seen as a way of enriching the poetic language, bringing new nuances and connotations to the Urdu lexicon.

As a result, it was observed that regression models were an appropriate method to reveal the number of cases and deaths.
From Loud to Silent: The Free Patriotic Movement 2005-22 Outdoor Campaigns
Authors: Madi Hiba P.
Published: March 2023

Lebanon’s history is characterized by events and players outside the country’s borders, which mainly include Israel, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iran and the United States. Towards the end of the Lebanese Civil War, General Michel Aoun, the caretaker Prime Minister of 1988 and head of the army, emerged as one of the most popular Christian political leaders. He strongly opposed the establishment of Syrian hegemony over its tiny neighbor Lebanon legalized by the Ta’if agreement. Yet, defeated by the Syrian army, Aoun was expelled from Lebanon and went into exile in Paris, France (Rowayheb, 2014). In 2005, twelve days after the last Syrian soldier pulled out of Lebanon following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, Aoun returned. Upon his return from exile, he resumed his political career, founded the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) in April 2006 (Ajroudi & Chughati, 2018) and reengaged with the Lebanese public and his backers. What were the political messages employed in the FPM’s resurging political advertising activity? And how did it evolve from 2005 to 2022 based on local and regional alliances?

Women in Contemporary Cinema: A Study on the Role of Lesbians in LGBTQ Films
Authors: Arya Pooja
Published: March 2023

Women across the globe, along with various feminist outfits, have been struggling to achieve gender equality in social, professional, and personal life. Media is something where women have continuously raised their issues for not getting equal status with men. But, the media is also the place where they face discrimination like getting paid lower than their male counterparts. In Indian TV serials, the role is a little different. Women are given more preference over men, but their role is shown to be restricted to the kitchen and household only. In the world of cinema, actresses are paid lesser than actors.

 

In many cases, their role is just to be the pillow riders of men. Somehow, the same is the case with LGBTQ characters in films. One can easily remember male LGBTQ characters like Abbas Ali of Bol Bachchan, but the role of a woman belonging to the LGBTQ community is either erotic or negligible. In this research paper, the researcher has tried to discover the prevailing gender inequality in LGBTQ films and the preference for male characters. The researcher has used content analysis to analyze the content of four mainstream Bollywood movies. The main aim of the research is to find out if female charact

Bollywood v/s Lollywood: 75 Years of Indian and Pakistani Cinema
Authors: Prabhat
Published: March 2023

As we have completed 75 years of independence, we are celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsaw. It’s a good time to reflect on our development journey since independence. During this long journey, we have achieved new heights in many aspects of life. We have prospered as a nation. When India got its freedom from Britain, it was divided into two nations, India and Pakistan. Partition was our biggest tragedy; it divided hearts as well as resources. Entertainment has always been the soul of Hindustan, but during the partition, this soul of our loving India was also divided. After independence, the Indian film industry became known as “Bollywood,” and the Pakistani film industry as “Lollywood.” In the 75 years since independence, Bollywood and Lollywood have taken a long journey full of ups and downs. In 2022, approximately 2800 films will be made in India, earning rupees 3800 Crore, while only 40 to 45 films will be made in Pakistan, earning less than a film in India. According to a report, at one time, eight studios were working in Lahore, but now only three studios are working where films are shot, while there are more than 50 film production companies in India.

Published: March 2023

The ancient Valens Aqueduct in the metropolis of Istanbul, Türkiye, has the potential to raise public awareness of historical water management as well as of current and future water supply challenges. This monument stands as a highly visible remnant of what was once the longest water supply line of the Roman world. Although recognized and preserved as a heritage object testifying to its multi- layered history, it has lost its original function and its relationship to water management. We present a program that aims to develop solutions for revitalizing its tangible and intangible values as a prime example of water supply, management and culture through the ages. In this way, this heritage object can regain a connection with water, and water can become an engine for sustainable development.

The results of the study show some of the influences that occur due to the use of human resources which refer to several results, namely; (1) The practices and roles brought by human resources absorb more energy and provide significant results in the business world; (2) the progress of the business world is greater with the significance aspect of human resources which is very closely related compared to other types of sources. This is because the external and internal factors of human resources provide aspects that are not the least especially in the development or preparation of business materials; (3) the maximization of productivity or performance that is present especially in the business field which certainly affects consumers or the image of a business industry in the world of marketing. These three results gain a very large share of significance in the field of the entrepreneurial industry sector and are also supported by the results of study studies obtained from several journals related to the influence of human resources in an entrepreneurial industry.
Image rights and the limits of art in the information society

Published: March 2023

This paper examines the complex legal relationship between image rights, terms of use, fair use, and the limits of copyright in the context of contemporary art production, particularly in the information society. The paper focuses on the actions of American artist Richard Prince, who used photographs posted by Instagram users to create canvases that he exhibited and sold for large sums of money. Prince argued that his appropriation of the images and the addition of details, such as comments and likes, represented a creative and transformative innovation that did not violate any rights. This argument sparked a long legal dispute over copyright and fair use limits in American law, which raises important questions about the limits of artistic freedom and the risks of violating rights in the digital age. Drawing on the hermeneutic filter that philosophy can offer, the paper attempts to reconcile the various aspects of this controversy and offers some directions for a more assertive understanding of the problem from a legal standpoint.
New technologies in advertising
Authors: Basan Arthur Pinheiro
Published: March 2023

It is undeniable that the development of the Internet environment has provided a solid foundation for technological expansion in various sectors of society. In addition to this, the ability of new technologies to threaten long-established fundamental rights is becoming increasingly evident, without the legal system being able to offer protection at the same speed as the violations, in most cases. In this perspective, the following problem arises: considering the technological innovations noted in contemporary times and in light of the conflict between free market driven by advertising and fundamental rights of people connected to the Internet, how is it possible to promote a high level of protection for people, in order to ensure that they are not harmed by the consumption harassment practiced by advertising? based on the problem presented, the text seeks to highlight how advertising takes advantage of new technologies, often becoming a bothersome and consequently, abusive practice, being perceived as tort. The research will use the deductive approach method, investigating the development of advertising techniques to highlight the technology problem on the law, especially emphasizing the essential need to concretize fundamental rights.

Aim. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the AgNOR parameters for the discrimination of benign from malignant breast tumors via a new approach - the total AgNOR area/nuclear area (TAA/NA). Material and methods. Three groups, consisting of control (n = 14), benign (n = 18) and malignant (n = 28) participants were included in the study. The AgNOR staining technique was performed and both mean AgNOR number and TAA/NA ratio were evaluated. Results. While the differences between the control and patient groups were statistically significant for AgNOR number (p < 0.001), it was not significant between the malignant group and the benign group for mean AgNOR number (p > 0.05). For the ratio of TAA/NA, the differences between the control and benign group (p < 0.001), control and malignant group (p < 0.001), and malignant and benign patient groups were significant. (p < 0.05). Conclusion. We consider that the evaluation of the TAA/NA rate, when compared with the AgNOR number, can be more sensitive and useful tool for distinguishing benign from the malignant breast lesions.

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of volatile induction and maintenance of anesthesia (VIMA) and target controlled infusion (TCI) on cardiovascular stability in New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and methods: In the present study, 90 patients were randomized into two groups depending on whether they received VIMA or TCI. Heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure were monitored continuously and recorded in five time intervals. Results: Statistical analysis showed that VIMA with sevoflurane provides better cardiocirculatory stability (less than 10% deviation from basal values for each measured parameter) than TCI group (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Volatile induction and maintenance of anesthesia with sevoflurane provides better hemodynamic stability for NYHA II patients with concomitant cardiovascular diseases compared to TCI.
Partial twinning and the boundaries of a person
Authors: Olson Eric
Published: March 2023

In special cases of partial twinning, two heads, each supporting a more-or-less normal human mental life, emerge from a single torso. It is often argued that there must be two people in such a case, even if there is only one biological organism. That would pose a problem for 'animalism', the view that people are organisms. The paper argues that it is very hard to say what sort of non-organisms the people in such cases would be. Reflection on partial twinning is no more comfortable for those who think we're not organisms than for those who think we are. We may have to accept that a single person could have two separate mental lives.
Challenges of oil and gas procurement due to the oil crisis in Ukraine
Authors: Veselinović Milan , Milošević Nikola
Published: March 2023

It is generally known that without oil and gas, no economic system can function and that these energy sources are considered the "bloodstream" of any economy, whether it is a developed economy, a developing economy, or an underdeveloped economy. Oil reserves follow gas reserves, and the distribution of reserves of these energy sources in the world is not uniform. On the one hand, we have countries with surplus reserves of these energy sources, so they are also exporters of oil and gas, and on the other hand, countries that are in deficit or do not have them, and have to import them. Some countries, as well as some members of the European Union, have managed to develop more or less balanced energy consumption in the long run through their energy policies, while some have not. Due to the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves and the complexity of their economies, many countries have not been successful in this, and are still qualified as dependent on fossil fuel imports. In addition to improving energy efficiency and savings, in line with frequent geopolitical unrest and tensions caused by energy procurement, many import-dependent on energy countries sooner or later decide to diversify their supply, but also to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources.
Heart failure therapy challenges in obese patients
Authors: Đenić Aleksandar
Published: March 2023

Obesity is one of the most significant independent risk factor for developing heart failure (HF) through direct and indirect mechanisms. Excessive secretion of aldosterone and activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS) in obese patients leads to sodium retention and an increase in extracellular volume, which contributes to the development of heart failure and increased cardiovascular risk. Abdominal visceral obesity is associated not only with an increased risk for the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but also with a high risk for the development of diabetes mellitus and hypertension in both sexes, but more dominantly in women, with an increase in incidence with menopause. Multiple studies and meta-analyses have confirmed that obese patients with heart failure regardless of ejection fraction (HFpEF and HFrEF) have better survival compared to those of normal or underweight, a phenomenon known as the obesity paradox. The HF-ACTION trial showed that even small improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness could lead to significant improvements in cardiovascular outcomes, reducing the impact of the obesity paradox on the clinical outcome of heart failure. The ESC recommendations for heart failure advise weight loss in order to prevent cardiovascular disease in obese and overweight patients, and gradual weight loss should be considered in patients with heart failure and BMI > 35 kg/m2 , while in patients with heart failure and BMI<35 kg/m2 , weight loss is not recommended. The goal of bariatric procedures is to prevent or delay the onset of heart failure, not only by reducing body weight but also by reducing risk factors. The randomized DAPA-HF trial showed that the use of dapagliflozin proved to reduce the composite outcome of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death in heart failure patients with BMI>30 kg/m2 and in HF patients with BMI<30 kg/m2 . The EMPEROR-preserved and DELIVER trials showed that therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with HFpEF and BMI>30kg/m2 reduces the risk of hospitalization and cardiovascular death. It is recommended that patients in the terminal stage of heart failure in the pre-transplantation period and placed on the list for heart transplantation achieve target values of BMI<30 kg/m2 in order to achieve a better clinical outcome and reduce mortality after transplantation.
Music performance anxiety and its relation to parenting style and sensory processing sensitivity
Authors: Aubry Ludivine , Küssner Mats B.
Published: March 2023

Music performance anxiety (MPA) is described as a complex phenomenon that arises through an interplay of environmental and personal factors. While previous research has found links between early life experiences and personality traits, the causes and the development of MPA remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the role of parenting style and sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) to better understand the causes of MPA. In total, 342 musicians between 18 and 65 years old, active in diverse musical genres in Germany and Austria, were analyzed in the final sample. The abbreviated German version of the Kenny Music Performance Anxiety Inventory (K-MPAI-24) was used to measure MPA. Parenting style was assessed retrospectively using the German version of the Measure of Parenting Style (MOPS) entitled Fragebogen Dysfunktionaler Elterlicher Beziehungsstile (FDEB). To measure the temperamental trait SPS, the German version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS-G) was used. Correlations were calculated to determine the relationships between parenting style and SPS in regard to MPA. Moreover, a moderation analysis was run to examine the interactive effect of parenting style and SPS on MPA. Although no interaction effect was found, the results indicate that abusive and over-controlling parenting as well as enhanced sensitivity may operate as risk factors for experiencing MPA. The present outcomes contribute to a better understanding of MPA and may facilitate supporting performers’ psychological well-being.
