Die adnominale Possession im Dialekt von Deutschpilsen (Nagybörzsöny) – mit besonderem Augenmerk auf den possessiven Genitiv
Authors: Márkus Éva
Published: June 2023

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Beschreibung der adnominalen Possession im Dialekt der kleinen deutschen Sprachinsel Deutschpilsen in Ungarn. Der possessive Genitiv ist im deutschen Sprachraum heute nur noch im äußersten Norden und im Süden zu finden, aber der untersuchte Dialekt konservierte die Genitivkonstruktion und bewahrte sie bis heute. Neben dem adnominalen, possessiven Genitiv in der attributiven Verwendung wird auch die prädikative Verwendung, beide nach ihrer Form und ihrer Semantik, ausführlich beschrieben. Weitere Formen der adnominalen Possession im untersuchten Dialekt, z.B. der adnominale possessive ›Dativ‹ (und seine zwei weiteren Varianten) werden ebenfalls vorgestellt.

Responsive Kreativität angesichts des Fremden
Authors: Waldenfels Bernhard
Published: June 2023

Menschliche Schöpfungen sind weder reine Funde noch reine Erfindungen, sie antworten auf Widerfahrnisse, indem sie etwas als etwas gestalten. Sie unterliegen einer Zeitverschiebung mit Verzögerungen und Vorwegnahmen. Ihr sozialer Charakter besagt, daß uns etwas zugleich mit Anderen widerfährt und wir mit ihnen antworten im Zuge einer Ko-affektion und Kor-respondenz. Kollektive Formen von ›challenge‹ und ›response‹ begegnen uns in Form von Klimawandel, Flucht oder Viruspandemie. Phänomenologie äußert sich in einer erfinderischen Phänomenotechnik, die festlegt, wie wir antworten. Antworten sind kreativ, so wie Kreationen responsiv sind. Stets ist eine Alterität im Spiel.
Bodo Kirchhoffs Widerfahrnis mit Waldenfels gelesen. Überlegungen zur Anwendung von Bernhard Waldenfels’ ›Widerfahrnis‹ und ›Responsivität‹ bei der Literaturanalyse
Authors: Šlibar Neva
Published: June 2023

Kirchhoffs Novelle bietet sich bereits vom Titel her als literarische Inszenierung von Waldenfels’ Reflexionen zur Responsivität an. Eine Textdeutung auf der Ebene des erzählten Geschehens ist auch das Hauptanliegen des Beitrags. Literaturwissenschaftliche Relevanz erhält der Versuch durch die Einsicht der breiten Anwendbarkeit einer ›Widerfahrnis-Matrix‹ – von den verschiedenen Ebenen der Kommunikation über Genretypologisches bis zur Uneinholbarkeit des Literarischen. Die dem Dreischritt von Widerfahrnis/Pathos – Affizierung – Respons folgende Analyse offenbart die Komplexität der Phänomene, aber auch weiterzuführende Dilemmata der Zuordnung und Bewertung aller drei Responsivitätselemente.
Anders, fremd und exterritorial. Und doch ähnlich? Fragen an einen gegenwärtigen Diskurs unter Bezugnahme auf Kafka, Camus und Chamisso
Authors: Müller-Funk Wolfgang
Published: June 2023

Der Zusammenhang von Grenze, Alterität und Sprache in Waldenfels’ neuester Studie über Phänomenologie und Psychoanalyse ist Ausgangspunkt des Beitrags. Skizziert wird die narrative Logik dreier Texte, in denen sich verschiedene Momente des Fremden und Alteritären überlappen und in denen ein Grundimpuls von Fremdheit plastisch hervortritt. Alle drei Protagonisten – Albert von Chamissos Peter Schlemihl, Franz Kafkas Karl Roßmann und Albert Camus’ Meursault – sind dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ihre sozialen Relationen gestört, gekappt oder neutralisiert sind. Die Formen der Fremdheit sind jeweils mit einem verschatteten, manchmal jedoch ausdrücklich benannten politischen Kontext verbunden.

With an estimated approximately 2 million deaths per year, diabetes is one of the top 5 deadliest noncommunicable diseases globally. Although this disease is not fatal, the degradation of the patient's health due to a bad plan to control their glucose levels can have a fatal outcome. In order to lay the foundations for the development of a device that allows estimating glucose levels in some body fluid, we present the results obtained not only for the estimation of glucose in deionized water, but also describe the development and configuration of the created device. After analyzing 50 signals obtained from 5 different glucose concentrations, the feasibility of using the developed device for the analysis is evident, since, considering the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, all the signals were associated correctly to the glucose group to which they belong.
RNAseH-based ribodepletion v1
Authors: Schonrock Nicole
Published: June 2023

Goal: Method to ribodeplete samples from rRNAs using RNAseH nuclease. Summary: DNA oligos are complementary to human rRNAs. They will anneal to the rRNA molecules. RNAseH will degrade RNA-DNA duplexes, leaving the RNA samples depleted from rRNAs Tested on :Human, Mouse and Yeast (for 18s and 28s ribodepletion). Cost: DNA oligonucleotides will be expensive the first time ordered, but will last for many rounds of ribodepletion. Once the DNA oligonucleotides have been purchased, the major cost comes from the RNAseH enzyme. In our hands, the cost is much lower than commercial kits, thus being scalable for high input samples where the ribodepleted material needs to be high. Recommended for: NGS-based approaches. Do not use for Nanopore-based approaches as nuclease-based methods degrade RNA molecules.
Antara Kubu dan Lubuk: Transisi Politik Johor dalam Pilihan Raya Umum Ke-15
Authors: Abdul Halim Shah Mohd Akmal , Ismail Muhamad Takiyuddin
Published: June 2023

In analyzing the national trend of Malaysian politics, Johor politics have received special consideration for a long time. Johor’s political significance is also based on the state’s ethnic diversity, closely resembling the national demographic composition. The triumph of the National Front (BN) in the Johor State Elections in 2022 is a catalyst for the 15th General Election Malaysia (GE-15) to be held, which is thought to be favorable to UMNO-BN. However, in GE-15, held eight months later, UMNO-BN failed to continue its winning momentum in Johor. Based on this development, it is an intriguing occurrence to analyze the dynamics of Johor’s varied political trends. This study conducted qualitatively found that GE-15 in Johor shows a dynamic trend in the correlation between technical and sentimental factors that drive its trajectory. Overall, GE-15 in Johor is more overshadowed by national sentiment than local sentiment, which plays a less significant influence. Supported by sentimental factors, technical factors such as the split of the Malay vote in some urban and semi-urban areas gave The Alliance of Hope (PH) an advantage through the Chinese vote. BN and The National Alliance (PN) failed to dominate urban and semi-urban areas since the Malay vote was split into three factions. In rural areas, the tendency of BN voters to shift to PN voters continues to expand. Even though UMNO won the areas, GE-15 data indicates the party’s support is declining, and has become critical of UMNO. Based on the results of the GE-15 in Johor, this article argues that Johor no longer serves as UMNO’s bastion; instead, this status began to catch up with PH, which is the voter’s choice in most urban and semi-urban areas due to the vote division of the Malays.
“I Think Quality is More Important Than a Lot of Data” in Cities Datafication
Authors: Okafor Carl Chineme
Published: June 2023

This article studies how the decision to connect data volumes to value is made by technologists and governance people in smart cities’ datafication process. Its entry point is that datafication promises to use data to make cities liveable domains. Cities on the back of this promise presuppose that more data produce value and therefore fixate on exhaustive datafication. But datafication does not appear self-evident, and knowledge of how technologists and governance people connect data volumes to data value is quite unclear in media and communication literature. Using evidence from interviews (n = 6), datafication policy documents (n = 4), and a diverse dataset of city activities (n = 299) in the open data portal of a situated datafication site, the Stavanger Smart City, Norway, and with the theoretical support of critical data studies, this article responds to the question: How does data volume connect to data value in smart cities datafication? Its findings put data quality as the intermediary that makes this connection.
Navigating Approaches to the Use of Pattern Language Theory in Practice
Authors: Chen Ruihua , Bos-de Vos Marina , Mulder Ingrid , Van Eldik Zoë
Published: June 2023

Christopher Alexander’s Pattern Language Theory (PLT) has been recognized as a valuable methodology to understand complex systems. It has been applied across domains through a variety of different approaches. This article reviews existing approaches to PLT application and reflects upon the differences between them. We find that application generally differs across four components: artefact, activity, roles and tools, informed by practitioners’ diverging values and needs. We elaborate on how consciously navigating the dimensions that these components consist of can help to broaden the application of PLT in practice. We report on the development of a set of conceptual tools that aim to support this process. The resulting “activity kit” has been applied in a Dutch housing renovation project to support homeowners in communication and decision-making to illustrate the applicability of our methodology. It can be concluded that the “activity kit” is a promising approach to broaden the use of PLT and contributes to the methodological repertoire of researchers and practitioners to address complexity in today’s societal challenges.

Malignant neoplasms of the pelvic organs and abdominal cavity are often associated with peritoneal gliomatosis (PG). Detection of PG and its differentiation from carcinomatosis and other changes in the tissue using ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography is extremely limited. Questions of the pathogenesis of PG, its influence on the course of the main tumor process, as well as the relationship with indicators of overall and relapse-free survival remain debatable. We believe that the description of the PG encountered in practice is extremely relevant in the aspect of considering the possibility of the presence of such a pathology in the tumor process and the inclusion of PG in the differential diagnostic series in the diagnosis of changes in the omentum and peritoneum of the small pelvis and abdominal cavity using various methods (ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative urgent histological examination).
Nausea and vomiting induced by pharmacotherapy: have all issues of maintenance therapy been resolved?
Authors: Konstantinova M.  M. , Paltuev R.  M.
Published: June 2023

Many patients with various localizations of malignant neoplasms require therapy aimed at preventing or reducing the manifestations of nausea and vomiting induced by anticancer pharmacotherapy. New drugs to prevent the development of complications of chemotherapy are critical to improve the quality of life of patients and their adherence to therapy. Palonosetron, a new generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, has a long half-life (up to 40 hours) and a 30-fold higher affinity for 5-HT3 receptors compared to previous generations of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists. Clinical studies have shown the ability of palonosetron in combination with dexamethasone and, if indicated, neurokinin antagonists to effectively prevent the development of nausea and vomiting during single- and multi-day cycles of chemotherapy for both solid tumors and hematological diseases, including high-dose chemotherapy, in preparation for transplantation of auto- and allogeneic stem cells. The innovative oral drug Akynzeo is currently available for use in clinical practice, which includes 2 highly selective NK1 and 5-HT3 receptor antagonists in fixed doses. The drug prevents induced nausea and vomiting during moderate and highly emetogenic chemotherapy in more than 90 % of cases, both in the acute and delayed phases.

Published: June 2023

Background. BRCA-associated triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered one of the most aggressive subtypes of breast cancer with high sensitivity to chemotherapy, which leads to increased interest in finding new treatment options for patients with this subtype of breast cancer.

   Aim. To determine the role of adding a platinum drug to standard systemic neoadjuvant therapy (NAC) for patients with primary BRCA-associated TNBC with clinical stage T1–3N0–3M0, and to evaluate the effect of platinum-based drugs on recurrence-free survival in patients of this category.

   Materials and methods. The study included 75 patients diagnosed with primary BRCA-associated TNBC. They were divided into 2 groups depending on the NAC provided, and then they were subdivided depending on the completion of the course of ongoing NAC, the final pathomorphological result and the presence of recurrence.

   Results. Group I included 48 (64 %) patients who received the AC–T regimen; in group II (n = 27 (36 %)) patients received NAC according to the AC–TCarb regimen. Patients of group II showed a higher frequency of achieving pathological complete response (pCR) compared with patients of group I (73.7 % versus 41.2 %, respectively, p = 0.0433). Taking into account the NAC regimens being carried out, patients of group I had a slightly higher risk of recurrence compared to patients of group II (p = 0.099).

   Conclusion. In patients with primary BRCA-associated TNBC, the addition of platinum compounds to the systemic NAC resulted in achieving of pCR in 73.7 % cases compared with 41.2 % pCR after the standard anthracycline-taxane NAC, which entails a reduced risk recurrence in this category of patients. Performing a full course of planned NAC has a positive trend in achieving pCR in patients of this category.

Aim. To increase the efficacy of systemic breast cancer therapy and reduce inappropriate prescriptions using individual immunohistochemical tumor characteristics, as well as to develop prognostic scales to ensure a tailored approach to adjuvant systemic treatment in breast cancer patients.

   Materials and methods. We conducted a comprehensive study that included collection of literature data on clinical, pathomorphological, prognostic, and predictive factors of breast cancer, as well as a retrospective cohort study using the data from the cancer registry. We also performed histological and immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue samples from breast cancer patients (for the retrospective cohort study) and statistical data analysis. A total of 1,216 patients with T1–2N0M0 breast cancer were included in this study. Histological and immunohistochemical examinations of tissue samples (paraffin blocks) were conducted in the laboratory of N. N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology. We stained slides for both routinely used markers (including estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, HER2, and Ki-67) and other markers (CK14, FOXA1, FOXP3, PD-L1, P53, SMA, androgen receptors, E-cadherin, CD4, CD8, CK5 / 6, EGFR).We analyzed risk factors for lethal outcomes in patients from this group to develop prognostic scales and compared their results.

   Results. We evaluated the most clinically and statistically significant factors affecting mortality. Using logistic regression, we chose 10 factors that had the greatest impact on the outcomes and then produced several scales, includinga 10-point regression scale (based on 10 most significant factors identified). Survival analysis in high-risk and low-risk patients using the regression scale demonstrated significant differences between these groups (р <0.00001). The assessment of adjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in the combined group of intermediate- and high-risk patients (as estimated by the regression model) showed that intermediate- and high-risk patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy had significant differences in their survival (р = 0.0057). The regression scale for 10-year prognosis demonstrated sufficient sensitivity (58.05 %), specificity (69.47 %) and ef fectiveness (63.76 %).

   Conclusion. Our regression prognostic scale includes markers with a high prognostic value. The multifactorial approach used in the developed regression scale for breast cancer 10-year prognosis increases its accuracy and reliability.
A STORY OF ETERNAL IMMATURITY – CHILD PSYCHOLOGY IN WITOLD GOMBROWICZ’S WORKS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Chorzewski Kateryna
Published: June 2023

The article considers the concept of childishness and the signs of child psychology in the works of Witold Gombrowicz. This concept is a key to the whole philosophical system of the writer, as the vast majority of his works written before and after leaving for Argentina, based on the moral and ethical conflict of maturation and participation of children and adults in this process – in this series are works “Ferdydurke”,”Diary of maturation”,”Marriage”,”Space”,”Pornogr aphy”, “Trans-Atlantic”. The phenomenon of infinite maturation is inextricably linked with Gombrowicz’s conception of Form as a personality-creating factor, but at the same time childishness has a greater ontological force than the imposition of social roles and masks. The analysis of Gombrowicz’s prose and dramatic works makes it possible to crystallize the manifestations of obvious signs of child and adolescent psychology embodied in the behavior of the protagonists. And the fact that most of Gombrowicz’s characters are a symbolic embodiment of the author’s personality only confirms these observations: the state of permanent childhood and the burden of family influence are autobiographical components taken from the author’s personal life and his relationship with his family, especially his mother. Gombrowicz repeatedly wrote about this in his diary, analyzing his status in the family and his mother’s influence on the formation of his personality.
Can the machine smell? The problem of the universal olfactory dictionary
Authors: Velis L. A.
Published: June 2023

In technology research, much has been achieved in the ﬁeld of visual and auditory analysis as compared to the perception of smells. This article discusses the latest advances in the ﬁeld of electronic (E-nose) used to recognize the olfactory code. All studies can be conditionally divided according to the goals into: 1. Research aimed at the practical application of electronic systems in areas such as food industry, medicine, the environment, etc. 2. Research aimed at cognitive processes and psycho-emotional reactions of a person during olfactory experience, as well as the ability of a machine to predetermine human reactions to various smells. In this case, an important role is played by language, which acts as a representation of olfactory sensations. The methods of conceptual and semantic analysis are becoming more and more in demand in studies devoted to machine recognition of the olfactory code.
Barriers to the integration of digital twin technology in manufacturing
Authors: Prytkov N. I. , Zamorev A. S.
Published: June 2023

Industry over the last ten years has been characterized by a high level of digital transformation, affecting all layers of production and all areas of the economy. One of the key trends in the digitalization of industry is the digital twin – a system that combines a physical object, its digital model, and a continuous link between the two. However, the integration of such a complex technological solution is fraught with a number of barriers that arise in one way or another in the way of technology users. The authors of the article analyzed 100 examples of digital twin use in industry according to 7 criteria, among which the scope of technology application, the most problematic stage of its integration, key technological, organizational, ecosystem and economic barriers, as well as recommendations on overcoming these barriers, which have been applied or are in the process of application, were highlighted. The article contains a layer of statistical data and infographics that conﬁrm the key conclusions about the main barriers to the integration of digital twins, among which the lack of devices and equipment with the necessary capacity, the lack of existing strategies for the technology implementation, the lack of standards for industry regulation and high initial investment are the main ones. Each block of barriers is accompanied by real examples (cases) of use of digital twin in the domestic and foreign industry, among which there are such companies as KamAZ, UEC-Klimov, Tesla, Volvo, Norske Shell and others.

Published: June 2023

This article assesses gender dynamics in local campaigns of the undocumented youth movement. Analyzing data from several years of fieldwork in New York and New Jersey and 132 interviews with undocumented activists, community organizers, and elected officials, we find that young women experience inequality in workload distribution, visibility, and representation, which affects their postcampaign outcomes. Our research highlights the solutions implemented by young activists to address gender inequality, particularly in terms of movement goals, structure, and internal policies.
THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS IN ANTI-SEXUAL VIOLENCE GROUPS IN EGYPT
Authors: Allam Nermin
Published: June 2023

How do anti-sexual violence groups form and sustain their activism under autocratic regimes? Using the case of the anti-sexual violence groups that emerged online in Egypt in 2020, I investigate the role of emotions in sustaining the movement in the absence of political opportunities, organizational resources, and frame resonance. Drawing from the literature on emotions and social movements, I apply an analytical framework consisting of three concepts, emotion work, emotional opportunities, and emotional transformation. I show how the emotional work carried out by the online groups, and the emotional opportunities inherited from former movements have played a role in mobilizing survivors of sexual violence and transforming the emotional culture around the issue. The data were collected by carrying out interviews with founders and followers of key online accounts supplemented by a review of the groups’ online posts and the public prosecutors’ statements. The article adds to the existing literature on social movements by demonstrating the mechanisms through which emotions matter and affect movements.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Currently, the incidence of benign ovarian tumors has increased, and numerous studies have reported its negative effect on womens reproductive health. In modern literature, approximately 30% of patients with ovarian neoplasms have reproductive problems. In the presence of ovarian diseases, changes in the endometrium alter its receptivity, thereby reducing the chances of successful conception and gestation and gaining increasing attention. Patients seeking to preserve their reproductive function prefer organ-preserving surgical interventions; however, in clinical practice, adnexectomy is often necessary because of damaged ovarian tissue.
AIM: To analyze the morphofunctional state of the endometrium and its receptivity in patients with serous and mucinous ovarian cystadenomas before and after surgical treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The prospective study included patients of reproductive age with benign epithelial tumors (serous/mucinous cystadenomas) who had not received hormonal drugs for 6 months before surgical treatment. Group 1 included 32 patients with serous cystadenoma, and group 2 included 30 patients with mucinous cystadenoma. Before and 612 months after unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, a pipelle biopsy of the endometrium was performed during the implantation window. The qualitative and quantitative parameters of pinopodes were examined, and the expression levels of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors in the glands and stroma of the endometrium were evaluated.
RESULTS: Preoperatively, the number of pinopodes decreased in patients with serous cystadenoma, and the expression level of ER in the stroma and those of PR in the stroma and glands was reduced. Postoperatively, the number of mature pinopodes increased, and the expression levels of ER in the stroma and PR in the stroma and glands was increasing. Preoperatively, in patients with mucinous cystadenomas, the expression levels of ER in the stroma and glands and PR in the stroma and glands decreased, and the number of pinopodes reduced. Postoperatively, compared with patients with serous cystadenomas in the glandular component of the endometrium, those with mucinous cystadenoma had lower expression levels of both ER and PR, lower PR expression level in the stromal component, and increased number of pinopodes.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that benign ovarian tumors are accompanied by impaired morphofunctional state and receptivity of the endometrium, and timely surgical intervention positively affects these indicators and increases the reproductive potential of women.
1D Seismic Velocity Models for West-Central and Western Montana
Authors: Duzet Courtenay J. , Martens Hilary R. , Stickney Michael C.
Published: June 2023

In seismically active areas with infrequent large-magnitude earthquakes, high-quality seismic data are critical for determining accurate seismic velocity models. Here, we present a new local-scale crustal seismic velocity model in west-central Montana as well as a new regional-scale crustal and upper mantle seismic velocity model for broader western Montana. These models are constrained by phase arrivals from several seismic networks, including the University of Montana Seismic Network, the Montana Regional Seismic Network, the Advanced National Seismic System, temporary deployments by the U.S. Geological Survey, and the USArray Transportable Array. We jointly invert for hypocenters and velocity structure using the VELEST software. The local seismic velocity model is the first model specific to west-central Montana, using P-wave arrivals from aftershocks of the 2017 M 5.8 Lincoln, Montana, earthquake. The local model consists of eight layers down to 30 km depth below the mean sea level and spans a region of approximately 40,​000  km2 (200 km × 200 km). The velocity of the uppermost layer in the local model is 4.80 ± 0.11 km/s, and the velocity of the lowermost layer resolved from the data is 7.00 ± 0.05 km/s. Using an expanded dataset across a broader geographical area, we develop a “regional” seismic velocity model that represents spatially averaged velocity structure across western Montana. The regional model consists of thirteen layers down to 45 km depth below the sea level and is appropriate to an area of 160,​000  km2 (400 km × 400 km). The velocity of the uppermost layer is 4.30 ± 0.15 km/s, and the velocity of the lowermost layer is 8.00 ± 0.04 km/s. The new models are similar to prior velocity models for western Montana, but feature improved vertical resolution of layer velocities.
Global Characteristics of Observable Foreshocks for Large Earthquakes
Authors: Wetzler Nadav , Lay Thorne , Brodsky Emily E.
Published: June 2023

Foreshocks are the only currently widely identified precursory seismic behavior, yet their utility and even identifiability are problematic, in part because of extreme variation in behavior. Here, we establish some global trends that help identify the expected frequency of foreshocks as well the type of earthquake most prone to foreshocks. We establish these tendencies using the global earthquake catalog of the U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Center with a completeness level of magnitude 5 and mainshocks with Mw≥7.0. Foreshocks are identified using three clustering algorithms to address the challenge of distinguishing foreshocks from background activity. The methods give a range of 15%–43% of large mainshocks having at least one foreshock but a narrower range of 13%–26% having at least one foreshock with magnitude within two units of the mainshock magnitude. These observed global foreshock rates are similar to regional values for a completeness level of magnitude 3 using the same detection conditions. The foreshock sequences have distinctive characteristics with the global composite population b-values being lower for foreshocks than for aftershocks, an attribute that is also manifested in synthetic catalogs computed by epidemic-type aftershock sequences, which intrinsically involves only cascading processes. Focal mechanism similarity of foreshocks relative to mainshocks is more pronounced than for aftershocks. Despite these distinguishing characteristics of foreshock sequences, the conditions that promote high foreshock productivity are similar to those that promote high aftershock productivity. For instance, a modestly higher percentage of interplate mainshocks have foreshocks than intraplate mainshocks, and reverse faulting events slightly more commonly have foreshocks than normal or strike-slip-faulting mainshocks. The western circum-Pacific is prone to having slightly more foreshock activity than the eastern circum-Pacific.
Casilda de Antón del Olmet: madre, muerte y desidentidad
Authors: Galloso Camacho María Victoria
Published: June 2023

Las poetas españolas del siglo XX deben ser rescatadas del olvido al que por acción u omisión las ha sometido la crítica. Esta propuesta se presenta con el objetivo de seguir conociendo las construcciones, las dimensiones y los límites del tropo poético maternal de Casilda de Antón del Olmet y López de Haro, en su poema “Maternidad”, de sus Cien sonetos. Este sencillo texto merece un análisis sociolingüístico, habida cuenta de que forman parte del patrimonio de la historia y la lírica española. Presenta un abordaje de la categoría de “desidentidad de la mujer”, como una compresión de la identidad a partir de los sistemas de herencias sociales, los elementos que lo constituyen y la memoria histórica.

Published: June 2023

This study presents a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Gender Bias in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The research was conducted using two techniques: a domain-based approach to SLR process providing a bibliometric sample description and in-depth examination of the thematic categories arising from inductive categorization, extracted from reading and interpretation of the final 35 sample articles analyzed. In answering three key research questions on the types, causes, and overcoming (mitigating) strategies of gender bias in artificial intelligence, three thematic treemaps were constructed, enabling systematic overview as an essential contribution to the literature. The main types of gender bias found in AI are categorized as societal, technical, and individual. Societal and socio-technical aspects stand out as the leading causes of bias, while debiasing, dataset design and gender sensitivity were the most frequent among the main strategies for overcoming bias. The study also proposes theoretical, practical and managerial capacity building and policy implications that aim to influence broad socio-technical challenges and refer to changes necessary, aiming to create bias-free artificial intelligence.
Telecommuting on Women’s Work-Family Balance through Work-Family Conflicts
Authors: Rebecca Edward , Jayawardana A. K. L.
Published: June 2023

This study draws on the work-family border theory to examine the impact of telecommuting on work-family balance through work-family conflicts and managing psychological borders. Since telecommuters lack physical boundaries and work within psychologically created borders, it is more challenging for women telecommuters to balance work and family responsibilities while working from home as telecommuters. Although available literature has illuminated this concern, there is a dearth of literature on managing psychological borders. Addressing this gap, this study explores the impact of telecommuting on work-family balance (WFB) through the bi-directional nature of the mediating effect of work-family conflict and the moderating impact of mindfulness, which will be empirically tested. The research adopted a cross-sectional survey strategy to conduct quantitative research on women telecommuters in the information technology industry in Sri Lanka. Interestingly, the findings of this study reveal that telecommuting has an impact on WFB, and that the trait of mindfulness was found to impact women telecommuters’ WFB significantly. The study contributes to the existing literature by incorporating mindfulness as a moderator and highlights the importance of developing the trait of mindfulness, since it is not innate in most people.
Exploring the Role of Cultural Capital, ICT Skills, and Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy in Shaping Entrepreneurial Intention among Women

Published: June 2023

The present study aimed to examine the impact of cultural capital on the entrepreneurial intention of female college students in India, with the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the moderating influence of ICT skills. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data collected from a sample of female college students using AMOS and SPSS version 23. The results indicated a positive relationship between cultural capital and entrepreneurial intention, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator. Additionally, the study found that ICT skills positively influenced cultural capital and entrepreneurial intention via the mediation of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The findings of this study have practical implications for policymakers, educators, and practitioners in promoting entrepreneurship among female students. Furthermore, the study has theoretical implications in extending our understanding of the role of cultural capital, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and ICT skills in shaping entrepreneurial intention among women.
Access to Credit and the Expansion of Broadband Internet in Peru
Authors: Cusato Antonio , Castillo Jose Luis
Published: June 2023

We exploit the staggered expansion of the internet broadband network to firms and bank branches locations in Peru during the last decade to study non-financial firm performance and bank credit dynamics. Access to broadband unleashes firm growth, increases the chances of entry of firms and reduces the probability of exit in benefited locations. For those firms that had a borrowing relation with a bank before the expansion of broadband, the increase in sales serves as a signal to banks about their profitability, which in turn respond by providing more credit. Entry and exit from the credit market follows a similar pattern as in the case of firms, but the results take longer to materialize after the shock. We can disentangle supply and demand effects, since there is a group of firms and bank branches with different locations and asymmetrical timing for the availability of the technology. Our analysis highlights the importance of the demand channel in the reduction of the observed interest rates, which is consistent with the fact that our credit market results are concentrated among micro and small firms, and firms with thin credit files, which are often perceived as riskier.
Re-thinking Social Protection: From Poverty Alleviation to Building Resilience in Middle-Income Households

Published: June 2023

We exploit an expansion in social protection to middle-income households to provide evidence on how middle-income households cope with economic shocks and how to build their resilience. We use a regression discontinuity design around the eligibility cutoff for a program that delivered monthly cash transfers mainly through bank accounts in Colombia. We find no impacts on food security, education, and health outcomes--the target outcomes of antipoverty programs. In contrast, program eligibility increases non-food consumption and reduces debt for routine expenses. Bank account ownership increases by 16%, and beneficiaries are more likely to borrow from formal lenders. Amid systemic and idiosyncratic shocks, the program prevents middle-income households from reducing non-food spending and acquiring debt for routine expenses. Moreover, when hit by severe shocks, beneficiary households substitute away from predatory loans. The results suggest that middle-income households are constrained by lack of insurance and that social protection can build middle-income households' resilience to shocks through both cash transfers and by integrating beneficiaries into formal credit markets.

AIM: To explore hub genes for glaucoma based on bioinformatics analysis and an experimental model verification.
METHODS: In the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, the GSE25812 and GSE26299 datasets were selected to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by the GEO2R tool. Through bioinformatics analysis, 9 hub genes were identified. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed to verify whether the hub gene can distinguish glaucoma from normal eyes. The mouse model of glaucoma was constructed, and the real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay was performed to detect the expression levels of hub genes in glaucoma.
RESULTS: There were 128 overlapping DEGs in the GSE25812 and GSE26299 datasets, mainly involved in intracellular signalling, cell adhesion molecules and the Ras signalling pathway. A total of 9 hub genes were screened out, including GNAL, BGN, ETS2, FCGP4, MAPK10, MMP15, STAT1, TSPAN8, and VCAM1. The area under the curve (AUC) values of 9 hub genes were greater than 0.8. The PC1 axle could provide a 70.5% interpretation rate to distinguish glaucoma from normal eyes. In the ocular tissues of glaucoma in the mice model, the expression of BGN, ETS2, FCGR4, STAT1, TSPAN8, and VCAM1 was increased, while the expression of GNAL, MAPK10, and MMP15 was decreased.
CONCLUSION: Nine hub genes in glaucoma are identified, which may provide new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for glaucoma.
