Roberta Findlay
Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

This chapter presents an interview with Roberta Findlay, the first woman in America to make pornographic features. Findlay traces her unlikely story of being a sheltered, introverted New York teenager who became involved with pornography through devotion to her husband, Michael Findlay, who decided to be an X-rated director. Together in South America they made the notorious film, Snuff, in which it was rumored (erroneously) that a cast member was murdered on screen. After she divorced, Findlay began directing pornography herself though hating everything about the industry which employed her. But some, including critic Molly Haskell, have seen secret feminist themes in her movies such as Angel Number 9.
Short Visits with Three European Masters
Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

The body of this chapter is made up of three interviews conducted at the New York Film Festival with major European filmmakers. The French director, Eric Rohmer, discusses his medieval-set Perceval, based on a 12th century poem about King Arthur and the Round Table. Rohmer explains that he wanted to do this film as if cinema existed in the Middle Ages. The German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder talks of his screen adaptation of Nabokov’s Despair, a story of a man who is convinced he has met in the streets his living doppelganger. Fassbinder decided to set his film in the Weimar Republic with Nazis in the background, and concedes that there is a “homoerotic” motif in his movie. The German director Werner Herzog discusses his Nosferatu the Vampyr, a remake of the famous silent. He speaks of other earlier Dracula movies, not always with approval, but admits that he is not a committed filmgoer. “Herzog is my reference,” he says.

Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

This chapter is an interview with veteran Hollywood director Martin Ritt at the time of the release of Norma Rae. He talks of his long career doing films about labor issues and how he sees no problem with he, a white director, helming films such as Sounder about African-American characters. Ritt also defends blaxploitation films like Shaft and Superfly made by Black directors. He tells how his early TV career was stopped cold by the Hollywood Blacklist. Ritt believes in making simple, straightforward films with progressive messages and “up” endings, as he is seeking something “affirmative” in every dramatic situation.
Voices in the Middle East
Authors: Peary Gerald
Published: May 2024

The interviews in this chapter introduce two Middle Eastern filmmakers who make passionate political works: Samira Makhmalbaf from Iran and Hany Abu-Assad from the Palestinian territories. Makhmalbaf speaks of her film, Blackboards, shot with an amateur cast in the high mountains along the Iran-Iraq border. The film is about true-life traveling teachers who bring their lessons to dangerous lands with blackboards tied to their backs. Their biggest worry is to be victims of chemical warfare. Abu-Assad talks of filming Paradise Now, managing the difficult task of assembling a cast of professional Palestinian actors. The film is a potent story of two Palestinians who enter Israel with bombs under their belts. Incredibly, because the film had an Israeli co-producer, some of the scenes were shot in Tel Aviv. The filmmaker neither condones nor criticizes his violence-minded protagonists. He wants audiences to decide about the validity of their actions.

: Cholera outbreaks caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae present a significant global health challenge, with a notable increase in cases recently reported. The disease is characterized by severe watery diarrhea, leading to dehydration and potential fatalities if not promptly addressed. Transmission occurs through contaminated food and water sources, underscoring the importance of water sanitation and hygiene measures to prevent outbreaks. Limited healthcare access and inadequate reporting systems make estimating cholera cases and deaths challenging. Antibiotic resistance is also a concerning issue, necessitating the development of new treatment options. Prompt laboratory diagnosis is essential, with rapid diagnostic tests and PCR showing promise for pathogen detection. Treatment involves fluid replacement and appropriate antibiotic use to reduce disease severity and transmission. Oral cholera vaccines offer preventive measures for high-risk individuals during outbreaks. To combat the escalating cholera epidemic and save lives, a comprehensive approach, including improved water sanitation, early detection, and timely treatment, is crucial.
Phenotypic and Genotypic Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Clinical Shigella Isolates from Tehran, Iran
Authors: Tahmasbi Saeede , Tabatabaee Bafroee Akram Sadat , Pakbin Babak
Published: May 2024

Background: The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Shigella is a health concern in both developed and developing countries. The indiscriminate use of antibiotics without considering resistance patterns has led to the emergence of resistant strains. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic patterns of antibiotic resistance and virulence gene distribution in Shigella isolates from patients in Tehran, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 Shigella isolates were collected from patients referred to Milad Hospital and Pasargad Laboratory in Tehran. The isolates were gathered over four months, from February 2023 to June 2023. After biochemical and genetic confirmation of the isolates, the disk diffusion method was employed to determine antibiotic resistance patterns. The distribution of beta-lactamase genes (blaCTX-M1, blaCTX-M2, blaCTX-M8, blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaOXA) and virulence genes (ial, virF, invE, sigA, and pic) was investigated in Shigella isolates using the multiplex PCR method. SPSS statistical software version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: Thirty-six percent of isolates were found to be MDR. The highest rate of resistance was against tetracycline (90%) and ampicillin (80%). The lowest resistance rate was against azithromycin (1.9%) and amikacin (7.1%). The blaCTX-M1 and blaCTX-M8 genes were more prevalent, detected in 38.3% and 50% of the isolates, respectively. However, the blaSHV and blaCTX-M2 genes were not detected in any of the isolates. Additionally, 32% of the MDR isolates harbored both the blaCTX-M1 and blaCTX-M8 genes simultaneously. The distribution of virulence genes ial, virF, invE, sigA, and pic in the studied isolates was 28.3%, 85%, 68.3%, 81.7%, and 15%, respectively. Conclusions: The present study emphasizes the increasing trend of MDR Shigella isolates. Therefore, serious measures are needed to prevent the spread of resistant genes. Furthermore, the detection of virulence factors could help in controlling shigellosis, which is a significant global health issue.
Clitics in Old Serbian: What does the text of the Troyan Parable tell us?
Authors: Nikolin Dukai Lilla
Published: May 2024

The present paper examines the diachronic development of Serbian clitics. The investigation of clitics is of special interest in Slavic languages: despite the fact that these languages display free worder, the use of clitics is subject to strict rules. Clitics were present already in the Proto-Slavic language, however, in the course of the history of the language they were totally lost in Eastern Slavic and also partially in Western Slavic. The array and function of Serbian clitics has undergone substantial change: (1) similarly to Proto-Slavic, in Old Serbian manuscripts three types of enclitics were used, namely, discourse, pronominal and auxiliary clitics; and (2) clitics in present-day Serbian (PDS) tend to cluster and, within the clusters, their order is regulated by strict rules. This ordered position of clitics within the clusters has undergone changes. Moreover, there are significantly fewer clitic clusters in the investigated manuscripts than in PDS texts. The investigation of clitics is carried out in a 15th century Serbian manuscript, the Troyan Parable (Троянска притча) and in Old Serbian documents from the Middle Ages.

Published: May 2024

Context.—

The subspecialty workforce in pathology globally is inadequate for the demands of many modern therapies. The Open Pathology Education Network (OPEN) was formed to augment the global pathology workforce. The International Gynecologic Cancer Society (IGCS) virtual gynecologic-oncology (gyn-onc) fellowship training identified needs for higher-level pathology support.

Objective.—

To report on an OPEN-IGCS pilot project to support gyn-onc and pathology education efforts in a developing country.

Design.—

Curriculum with learning objectives and content from open sources was assembled. Mentoring sessions included bidirectional case sharing. Trainees received sequential curricula assignments and had options for communication outside mentoring sessions. Pretest and posttest digital slide assessments were included. Mentors attended the gynecology tumor board, allowing for the assessment of quality and accuracy of pathology diagnosis for cases discussed.

Results.—

Learners completing the pretest and posttest showed substantial improvement, with 2 practicing pathologists improving their diagnostic scores from 60% to an average of 95%. A third trainee-level participant also improved, but to a lesser degree. Qualitative assessments included increased confidence in presentation and an increased ability to anticipate questions, raise issues of expanded differential diagnoses, and articulate appropriate workup. Observations of clinicians who participated also noted increased confidence in participating pathologists. Secondary value included establishing an expanded network of support in other subspecialties for participants. Pathologic issues at the tumor board decreased, from more than 50% in the first 3 months of study to 0% in the last 3 months of study. The curriculum was embedded into a self-paced learning portal at courses.open-pathology.org.

Conclusions.—

The OPEN-IGCS collaboration model shows the potential to provide subspecialty pathology training remotely.

This study compared the solubility, water absorption, dimensional stability, release of various ions (hydroxyl, calcium, sulfur, strontium, and silicon), and cytotoxicity of lightcured resin-modified pulp-capping materials. Resin-modified calcium hydroxide (Ultrablend™ plus, UBP), light-cured resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal LC™, TLC), and dual-cure resin-modified calcium silicate (TheraCal PT™, TPT) were used. Each material was polymerized; solubility, 24-hour water absorption, and 30- day dimensional stability experiments were conducted to test its physical properties. Solubility was assessed according to the ISO 6876 standard, and 24 hours of water absorption, 30 days of dimensional stability were assessed by referring to the previous protocol respectively. Eluates at 3 and 24 hours and on 7, 14, and 28 days were analyzed according to the ISO 10993-12 standard. And the pH, Ion-releasing ability, cell proliferation rate, and cell viability were assessed using the eluates to evaluate biochemical characteristics. pH was measured with a pH meter and Ion-releasing ability was assessed using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Cell proliferation rate and cell viability were assessed using human dental pulp cells (hDPCs). The former was assessed by an absorbance assay using the CCK-8 solution, and the latter was assessed by Live and Dead staining. TPT exhibited lower solubility and water absorption than TLC. UBP and TPT demonstrated higher stability than TLC. The release of sulfur, strontium, calcium, and hydroxyl ions was higher for TLC and TPT than for UBP. The 28-day release of hydroxyl and silicon ions was similar for TLC and TPT. TLC alone exhibited a lower cell proliferation rate compared to the control group at a dilution ratio of 1 : 2 in cell proliferation and dead cells from Live and Dead assay evaluation. Thus, when using light-cure resin-modified pulp-capping materials, calcium silicate-based materials can be considered alternatives to calcium hydroxide-based materials. Moreover, when comparing physical and biochemical properties, TPT could be prioritized over TLC as the first choice.

TL;DR: The current version of the Papermill Alarm detects signals in 98.9% of the Hindawi retractions conducted over the last 12 months.** It’s never nice to see the harms caused by papermills, but it is good to see independent verification of the Papermill Alarm’s predictions.

Here’s a question: Why are there 2 multi-squillion-euro detectors at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider?
Enterprise risk management using the FMEA-AHP approach
Authors: Panić Marija
Published: May 2024

Risk is an integral part of people's lives and and companies' business. It is often associated with uncertainty because an event can happen but does not necessarily happen. Every decision that managers make carries a certain degree of risk. Therefore, managers must be innovative, flexible and ready to deal with risks. Certain risks can be eliminated or reduced depending on the available capabilities and resources. In today's business conditions and constant changes, for companies to maintain their position in the market, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is imperative. The goal of ERM is to recognize all positive and negative factors that can affect the company, thereby increasing the probability of success and reducing the probability of failure to achieve the company's goals. In this paper, the identification of risks in the production company was first carried out using the FMEA method. Then, by applying the AHP method in the Expert Choice software program, the proposed alternatives for ERM were ranked. The obtained results showed that the mentioned measures can greatly improve business operations and significantly mitigate the risks the investigated company faces.

The paper presents research into the possibility of applying machine learning algorithms in the prediction of stoppages and/or failure of excavator units. Regression trees, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms were tested with different hyperparameter variations on the collected set of data on the causes and downtime of stoppages of the observed excavator units. The result indicates that the trained SVM algorithm with sufficient accuracy (MSE 0.106) can predict the stoppages of the observed excavator units. Further research is aimed at expanding the database and further improving the possibility of predicting the level of danger for various causes of stoppages and/or failure of the observed excavator units.
The interest of students and graduates in family businesses
Authors: Puiu Silvia
Published: May 2024

The main aim of this paper is to highlight if there is an interest of the younger generation towards starting a family business with members in the first or second generation. The data were collected by applying an online questionnaire in 2023 on 201 students and graduates of University of Craiova in Romania. The structure of the survey was established within the INTERGEN international project and follows the intentions of youngsters in time, by applying the survey each year. The results show that even if there is an interest in starting a business, the respondents would prefer to be independent and not be too linked with their families. The findings are useful for academic management in orienting the curricula towards the interests exhibited by young generations, but also for adjusting national strategies meant to support small businesses.
The resilience of Italian and Polish family organizations: A comparative study using FSQCA
Authors: D'aquino Barbara , Carrassi Mario , Ingram Tomasz
Published: May 2024

This study endeavours to investigate the impact of economic contexts on the resilience strategies adopted by family businesses in Italy and Poland. Through a comparative analysis of these two countries' family-owned enterprises, the research aims to elucidate the divergent approaches to achieving organizational resilience amidst varying economic landscapes, thereby uncovering the underlying mechanisms driving resilience in both developed and transitioning economies. Drawing on data collected from 30 Italian and 30 Polish companies, this study examines the similarities and differences in the configurations of past firm performance, organizational unlearning, slack resources, innovation, and environmental dynamism, employing the fsQCA approach. The findings highlight distinct patterns in the factors shaping organizational resilience within each context. In Italian companies, the study reveals that heightened organizational resilience is primarily linked to the ability to discard outdated processes through effective organizational unlearning, alongside the presence of ample slack resources. Conversely, in Polish companies, a multifaceted approach encompassing adaptability to dynamic environments, effective unlearning practices, innovation initiatives, and a history of strong past performance emerges as crucial for fostering resilience.
The Granger causality of digital connectivity and trade globalization in the health crisis

The widespread adoption of digital technology in the last decade has caused global changes, leading to the belief that technology is altering the global connectivity of economies. This is especially emphasized in light of the global health crisis in 2020. To efficiently monitor this process, it is vital to assess the anticipatory potential of this type of digital connectivity and the growth of globalization in trade. An effective analysis of this issue necessitates looking into the causative relationship between digital technology connections and trade globalization. This is performed by applying the statistical approach of Granger causality to a data set consisting of 35 European countries from 2010 to 2022. A Granger causality study was performed using the lag value estimated based on the Akaike information criterion, which equals 2. The findings suggested that there is a unidirectional causal relationship between active mobile-broadband subscriptions and imports, with the former influencing the latter. However, this causal relationship fails to be valid in the opposite direction. The examination revealed a reciprocal relationship between fixed-telephone subscriptions and exports, as well as a reciprocal relationship between fixed-telephone subscriptions and imports. The results reveal the bidirectional value of the number of fixed telephone subscriptions as a measure of digital connectivity.
Post-hoc analysis of digital development in PLS-SEM
Authors: Petkovski Ivana , Milošević Isidora
Published: May 2024

This study attempts to determine and visually present the effect of educational, economic, energy-related, and ecological latent variables and adequate manifest variables on digital development in 33 European nations from 2010 to 2016. The results are presented using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology to evaluate the model's fit. Afterwards, the importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) was generated in order to perform post-hoc analysis. The IPMA indicates that the social latent variable has positive effects on digital development, as demonstrated by a performance score over 50. The effects of the energetic latent variable on digitalization reflect the lowest performance and the lowest positive effects. Therefore, the findings recommend an extensive examination of the interaction between energy-related factors and the diffusion of environmentally responsible digital progress. In reverse, the ecological latent variable has an adverse effect on digital development, as any drop in air pollution emissions is related to digital development.

This study delves into the security issues associated with cloud technology, which jeopardize the safety of our data stored in the cloud. The widespread adoption of cloud technologies has significantly increased exposure and vulnerability to security threats, despite the convenience features it offers to users. Although cloud technology is generally considered secure, it still contains inherent security risks that users must be vigilant about. The level of users' awareness regarding these risks is crucial in mitigating potential security breaches and safeguarding sensitive information. Adequate training and education regarding cloud security measures can empower users to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to protect their data. Security incidents in cloud environments can have far-reaching consequences, impacting not only individual users but also organizations and their stakeholders. Therefore, users need to stay informed about emerging security threats and implement best practices to minimize their exposure to risks. Collaborative efforts between cloud service providers and users are necessary to continuously improve security measures and adapt to evolving cyber threats. By fostering a culture of security awareness and proactive risk management, we can better protect our data and maximize the benefits of cloud technology.
