Understanding the psychological mechanisms that constrain the transfer of dialogue effects
Authors: O'Lone Katherine
Published: August 2022

An intrinsic component of evaluating the success of a dialogue programme is the concept of transfer. This refers to the means by which the effects of dialogue extend beyond the immediate participants to their wider social groups and go on to influence broader societal and policy change. In this paper I am interested in exploring, from a psychological perspective, why positive dialogue effects at an individual level (i.e., the micro level) sometimes fail to motivate future positive behaviour in the local social milieu (i.e., the meso level). This failure of dialogue effects to permeate beyond the immediate group can mean that transfer is limited, thus raising questions about the effectiveness of dialogue interventions. Drawing on psychological research that looks at mechanisms of indirect contact (whereby positive effects of contact with an out-group member spread beyond the immediate setting) I propose that a factor which might hinder the process of transfer is a cognitive bias called vicarious moral licensing. I propose that by understanding the psychological mechanisms that stymie the transfer of individual attitudinal change in to group behavioural outcomes, one can better address the crucial question of how to maximise the degree of transfer following from dialogue
The Buddhist Nuns and Dialogue in Wartime Myanmar: Understanding the ‘Banality of Othering’
Authors: Roy Sneha
Published: August 2022

This paper contends that dialogue must be understood dispassionately with the aim to appreciate what David Bohm (2013) called ‘incoherence’, and the need to embrace multiplicity in narratives, even if that implies incongruence in the understanding of dialogue. Using ethnographic methods and findings, I situate the politics of self and the other, and argue that determining the other and acknowledging the ‘banality of othering’ need to be examined in discussions around dialogue. I present a background of the interfaith tensions between the Buddhists and the Muslim-Other in Myanmar and by means of ethnographic anecdotes unpack the underplayed importance of determining the other within one’s own faith tradition and emphasise the needs and possibilities of engaging with them. Female religious leaders are often the innate other in many religious traditions, and their stories, experiences, and recommendations are disproportionately discounted, and that necessitates redressing. In a first, this study reports the role of Buddhist nuns, or the lack of it, in transitional Myanmar in the belief, practice, and scholarship of dialogue, and emphasises the need for their meaningful involvement.

Coal-Biomass Co-firing within Renewable Portfolio Standards: Strategic Adoption by Heterogeneous Firms and Emissions Implications
Authors: Valqui Brayam , Webster Mort D. , Sun Shanxia , Hertel Thomas W.
Published: August 2022

As electricity from coal declines, co-firing coal plants with biomass has been proposed to extend coal unit life, increase production, and reduce carbon emissions. Previous studies reach conflicting conclusions on whether coal biomass co-firing would result in a net increase or decrease in carbon emissions. We explore whether biomass co-firing would decrease emissions using a novel framework that includes two critical features of electricity markets: strategic adoption decisions by firms and intertemporal constraints on power plant operations. We apply this framework to a case study based on the Midwestern U.S. electricity market and show that profit maximizing firms will retrofit mid-efficiency coal units, rather than the most or least efficient units. We demonstrate that, contrary to expectations, this strategy leads to a net increase in system-wide carbon emissions under high carbon prices because of the other generators displaced by co-firing units.

Evidence-Based Policymaking in European Union Asylum Law: Potential and Pitfalls

Evidence-based policymaking has become crucial in the area of asylum. In an attempt to offer a critical overview of the role and weight of ‘evidence’ in the current phase of reform of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS), this article illustrates how evidence-based policymaking in EU asylum law presents a number of pitfalls. Lack of a full impact assessment, instrumentalization of data and oversimplification of the available evidence, adversely impact the effectiveness of the CEAS. Conversely, the article aims to unfold the potential that the use of evidence may have in improving the quality of the EU legislation, by reflecting on its impact on migrants. The article will, therefore, propose that the use of evidence from a user’s perspective, namely from the point of view of those subjects that are mostly affected by the legislation, can contribute to the teleological effectiveness of the CEAS: ensuring adequate protection for third-country nationals in need for it.
Pluralism as Inability to Choose

Pluralism as Inability to Choose

In this article I locate Justifying Contract in Europe’s most unique contribution in its rhetorical and methodological commitment to pluralism, which, although Hesselink may disagree, is also a normative and political commitment. Starting from this observation, I then discuss the normative implications of this type of pluralism for the ways in which different reasons are reconciled and reflected in the law. As I argue, it may not be necessary, desirable, or even possible to choose the precise reasons why we support a certain normative answer – say consumer protection is desirable – nor to discard all concerns coming from those supporting the opposite answer – no consumer protection. This implies that ‘reconciliation’ describes better than ‘compromise’ what we need to shape contract law in Europe. In the conclusions, I reflect on what this may mean for the EU and EU Law. As I suggest, the type of pluralism the book evokes and celebrates, if not explicitly theorizes, offers a powerful rejection of accounts that see EU law as dominated by a narrow set of values and normative commitments.
Mathematical Modelling of HIV-HCV Co-infection Dynamics in Presence of HIV Therapy

Published: August 2022

In this work, we formulated and analysed a deterministic model to study the HIV-HCV co-infection dynamics in presence of HIV therapy. The HCV chronic stage was split into two periods: the period before and the period after onset of cirrhosis. This was done because the HCV chronic stage of infection is long, asymptomatic and infectious. The effective reproduction numbers, one of our outcome measures, were computed using the next generation matrix method. Numerical simulations were performed to support the analytical results from the model. The different parameters in the model were subjected to a sensitivity analysis to determine their relative importance on the HIV-HCV co-infection dynamics. The results indicated that both HIV and HCV infections enhance each other; and in the long run, increasing the rates at which people are put on HIV treatment reduces the prevalence of HCV in the community; however, it increases the prevalence of HIV. Therefore, there should be increased safer sexual behaviour campaigns among individuals on HIV treatment.

Authors: Cabak Anna , Potentas Piotr , Tomaszewski Wiesław
Published: August 2022

Background. The aim of the study was to assess and prove that Tai Chi, as a form of physical activity, is an effective form of Physioprophylaxis in the aspect of physical and mental health.
Material and methods. A total of 64 people were examined. The study group was composed of 32 persons training Tai Chi Chuan for at least 5 years, aged 35- 70 years (the mean age of the participants was 49.9 years). The control group included 32 people who did not train Tai Chi, aged 27-70 years, occupationally active and physically fit (the mean age = 51.59 years). The tests applied included the General Self-Efficiency Scale (GSES) and the Unipedal Stance Test (UPST) performed with closed and open eyes. The tests were conducted in the group of participants training Tai Chi Chuan and the reference group of participants who did not train Tai Chi Chuan. Statistical analysis of the obtained results included calculation of Pearson correlation coefficient and student’s T-test.
Results. The results indicate that Tai Chi significantly improve body balance, p<0,01. Besides, it helps maintaining balance at a constant level or even improving body balance, especially in older population. The results obtained by the vast majority of participants from both groups indicate high levels of generalized self-efficacy related to pro-health behaviors.
Conclusions. The results let us conclude that Tai Chi Chuan is an effective form of Physio-prophylaxis. Improves the balance of the body at any age and it strengthens psy­chophysical health.

Background: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of the transition from the 6th edition of the Tumor, Node, Metastasis (TNM) staging system to the 7th edition, and from the 7th edition to the 8th edition by comparing the stage migrations. We also aimed to externally validate the 8th edition of the TNM staging system.

Methods: Between September 2005 and June 2015, a total of 1,077 patients (986 males, 91 females; mean age: 59.6±8.3 years; range, 35 to 84 years) with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent lung resection were retrospectively analyzed. We re-staged patients according to 6th, 7th, and 8th TNM staging and compared the stage migrations of cases among the three staging systems.

Results: Stage migration in the transition to the 7th edition of the TNM staging system was observed in 368 (34.1%) patients whereas it was observed in 541 (50.2%) patients in the transition to the 8th edition (p<0.001). The rate of upstaging in transition to the 7th edition staging system was 50.2% (n=185), whereas it was 98.1% (n=531) for the transition to the 8th edition (p<0.001). The survival rates of Stages 1B, 2B and 3A increased with transition to the 7th edition and the survival rates of Stages 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B increased with the transition to the 8th edition. The best stratification in the survival curves in the 6th edition was between 1B-1A and 3B-3A. In the 7th edition, it occurred between 1B-1A, 3A-2B and 3B-3A and, in the 8th edition, between 1B-1A and 3B-3A.

Conclusion: Stratification according to the 7th edition showed better prognostic validity compared to the 6th edition; and that of the 8th edition was better compared to the 7th edition.

Authors: Kanbur Metin Serda , Evman Serdar
Published: August 2022

Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between the side of elastofibroma dorsi formation and the dominant-hand of the patients we operated.

Methods: A total of 84 patients with elastofibroma dorsi (12 males, 72 females; mean age: 55.5±7.0 years; range, 43 to 74 years) were retrospectively analyzed between April 2007 and May 2019. Dominant hand, location, size, sex, age, occupations and follow-up of the mass were recorded and the pre- and postoperative Visual Analog Scale scores were noted.

Results: The mean symptom duration was 9.5±7.8 (range, 3 to 48) months. The lesions were located on the right in 49 (58.3%), on the left in 16 (19%) and bilateral in 19 (22.6%). There was no significant difference between the mass size and age, symptom duration and complication development (p=0.129). A significant relation was found between the formation of the mass on the side of the dominant hand (p=0.010). A significant difference was found between the pre- and postoperative Day 90 Visual Analog Scale scores (p<0.001), indicating a significant decrease in the pain scores.

Conclusion: Elastofibroma dorsi has good clinical results after surgical resection. In our series, the patients had significantly more elastofibroma dorsi on their dominant-hand side.

Authors: Feng Yong , Wei Wei , Chen Liang , Liu Jun-Feng
Published: August 2022

Background: This study aims to explore the role of lysophosphatidic acid receptors in the regulation mechanisms of contraction and relaxation of human lower esophageal sphincter.

Methods: Between July 2015 and March 2016, muscle strips were collected from a total of 30 patients (19 males, 11 females; mean age: 62±9.9 years; range, 52 to 68 years) who underwent an esophagectomy for mid?third esophageal carcinomas. The specimens were maintained in oxygenated Krebs solution. Muscle tension measurement technique in vitro was used to examine the effects of non-selective lysophosphatidic acid receptors agonists and antagonists, as well as selective lysophosphatidic acid receptors agonists on the clasp and sling fibers of human lower esophageal sphincter.

Results: The non-selective dopamine receptor agonist lysophosphatidic acid induced the contraction of the clasp and sling fibers of the human lower esophageal sphincter. The response induced by nonselective lysophosphatidic acid receptor agonist was inhibited completely by non-selective lysophosphatidic acid receptor antagonist. The selective lysophosphatidic acid 1 and 2 receptor agonist and the selective lysophosphatidic acid 3 receptor agonist induced a concentration-dependent contractile response of the clasp and sling fibers of the human lower esophageal sphincter. There was no significant difference in contraction rates between the clasp and sling fibers (p>0.05).

Conclusion: This study indicates that lysophosphatidic acid regulates the lower esophageal sphincter is through its receptor; the lysophosphatidic acid receptors may be involved in the contractile response of the human lower esophageal sphincter.

Published: August 2022

In this report, we present a case of native valve infective endocarditis due to active intravenous drug use in a 29-yearold female patient that presented during the peak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The patient underwent a complex cardiac surgical intervention with aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair. Postcardiotomy extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support was required due to severe biventricular dysfunction. In this unprecedented situation, multiple ethical dilemmas arose at different stages in the management of this patient. These dilemmas stemmed from the lack of evidence supporting the use of postcardiotomy ECMO in patients with active intravenous drug use and the scarcity of resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in pressure put on our healthcare system. In this case report, we present the decisions made by our team, taking into account both the patient"s best interests and the available resources. We hope this decision-making process will serve as a valuable learning experience for other teams and will act as an antecedent for similar situations in the future.

What is food loss and food waste?
Authors: Breewood Helen
Published: August 2022

Around one third of the weight of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted, and around a third of crop calories are lost to the food system during livestock production. Meanwhile, the global food system causes significant environmental impacts and around 800 million people are undernourished. This building block examines the following aspects of food loss and waste: mainstream definitions and alternative understandings, global statistics, and ‘hierarchies’ for prevention and treatment.
Various Dimensions of Impact of Climate on Criminality
Authors: Karmakar Supratim
Published: August 2022

Climate is one component that impacted human nature and civilization from time immemorial. From the viewpoint of environmental determinism, human activities are dominated by climatic elements like temperature, humidity, and seasonal variations. Deviance from the moral code of conduct is one of the important aspects of social pathology which hampers the overall sustainability of human society. Deviant forms of behaviour very often take the form of crime. Criminal offences always go against the balance between the environment and humanity. Research is going on for a long time to understand the proper correlation between climatic elements and criminality. Though they may sound quite detached from each other: climate and crime, criminologists and social theorists have been regularly studying the impact of climate change on the change in the nature of criminal offences. The present article is intended to review the major trend of the studies regarding this issue.

The importance of Husserl’s phenomenology for philosophy and science remains undisputed. The undoubtedly far-reaching and profound history of impact is due to he fact that the potential of phenomenological reflektion was not exhausted with Husserl’s transcendental philosophising. This is demonstrated by ‚existentieller Phänomenologie‘. Its explicitly systematic reflections unfold the, often disregarded, real, precisely existential conditions of philosophy, science and art. They are reflection (Besinnung) on the reflecting human being himself as Da-und-So-sein. His real Selbst-Sein und real Welt-Haben – Existential phenomenology, then, as ‚philosophische Grundlagen-Forschung‘; reflection of the reflections of our ‚So-in-der-Welt-sein‘.
Beweislast im Kartellzivilprozess
Authors: Köhler Marie-Louise
Published: August 2022

Although private antitrust enforcement has gained considerable importance in the last two decades, legal protection in Germany is still far from being – similar to US antitrust law – one of the surest weapons for effective enforcement of the ban on cartels. Despite legislative activities, private enforcement still lacks the desired clout. Against this background, the thesis deals with the burden of proof in civil antitrust proceedings. On the basis of the individual prerequisites for a claim for cartel damages, it is examined whether there are evidentiary hurdles for the directly injured party and, if so, how these can be overcome.

Furthermore, various issues from related legal fields, such as civil procedure law, commercial register law and insolvency law as well as pre-insolvency reorganization according to the StaRUG, are discussed. Central aspects of the doctoral thesis are a critical analysis of the Notgeschäftsführer and the discussion of suggestions for solutions and improvements. These ultimately result in a legal proposal for the insertion of a provision of the Notgeschäftsführer in the GmbHG.
Mindestabstände zwischen Spielhallen
Authors: Hartmann Bernd J. , Schaaf Henning
Published: August 2022

Since the GlueStV 2021 came into force, minimum distance requirements between gambling halls violate German constitutional law. The new treaty allows, among other things, virtual slot machines. At the same time, it provides for stricter access authorisation at the expense of gambling hall operators. The study systemizes the goals pursued by the state legislatures, asks for empirical evidence for the effectiveness of minimum distance requirements, and measures the currently existing regulations against constitutional law. In this way, incoherencies and inconsistencies between the regulation of virtual and terrestrial slot machines are found under European Union law and German constitutional law. Minimum distance requirements interfere disproportionately with the professional freedom of gambling hall operators. The minimum distances should at least be shortened.

In order to solve the problems of current enterprise administrative management information, poor administrative information management instructions in the process of enterprise operation of pharma companies, resulting in unclear rights and responsibilities and poor communication between departments, this paper analyzes and studies the management of modern enterprise administrative system of pharma companies, and puts forward the design of administrative management system based on BP structure, combined with the relevant theories of BP structure and lean management thought, Uniformly process the enterprise administrative management system information, optimize the system hardware structure and software functions by using the B / S framework, simplify the processing steps of massive administrative management information, plan the rights and responsibilities of each department, and clarify the content of the enterprise administrative management target set, so as to improve the system operation efficiency in pharma companies. Ensure the lean management effect of the implementation of a modern enterprise administrative system. The implementation results show that the design and implementation of the administrative management system based on the BP structure has high application value in the process of practical application, and fully meets the research requirements.
Application of virtual reality technology in multimedia resource with a focus on the COVID-19 outbreak
Authors: Li Na
Published: August 2022

In order to solve the problem of high energy consumption caused by unable to extract color space parameters in multimedia resource compression and transmission algorithm, the application of virtual reality technology in multimedia resource compression and transmission algorithm is studied. The research's main part is based on the Covid-19 Outbreak and the use of VR technology. The pixels are classified according to labeled and unlabeled, the multimedia resource allocation strategy is established, the resource target area is extracted by virtual reality technology, and the over-segmentation is controlled to a small extent, so as to control the quality of resources. In order to reduce the number of data transmissions and reception in the process of data aggregation in the network, a transmission signal reconstruction model is constructed, and the data is compressed and encoded. A compression transmission algorithm is designed, which uses compressed sensing and network coding to reduce the amount of data transmission. The experimental results show that the energy consumption of the compression transmission algorithm designed in this paper increases the slowest with the increase of single hop distance, and the energy consumption is also the lowest. Taking the bit rate of 0.25bpp as an example, the maximum energy consumption of the algorithm is 3.89J, which is 4.97J and 2.45J less than the direct transmission algorithm and the centralized compression transmission algorithm, respectively. Therefore, the algorithm can reduce energy consumption and prolong the life cycle of transmission network.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the carbomer concentration (used as the gelling agent, in the range 0.5 - 2.0%) on textural and sensory characteristics of gels with 3% panthenol using sensory analysis as subjective and texture analysis as an objective assessment method. An active substance in the gels was panthenol, which also acted as a neutralizing agent of the carbomer. Participants and methods. Twenty female panelists, aged between 20 and 36, participated in the sensory study and had to fulfill a questionnaire regarding product attributes before, during and after application on the skin. Texture analysis was performed on CT3 Texture Analyzer, after each week for a month, and the following parameters were calculated: hardness cycle 1, hardness cycle 2, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, resilience and springiness. Results. The results showed that gels were stable over time and the structure of the gels was preserved regardless of compression. An increase in hardness and resilience was followed by an increase in the concentration of carbomer, while adhesiveness, cohesiveness and springiness did not differ much among different gels. The same trend was noticed when gels were compared during time. Sensory analysis confirmed findings of texture analysis and showed that with the increment of carbomer concentration, stickiness and density also enhanced, while absorption rate and spreadability decreased. Gel with 1% carbomer was chosen by the majority of panelists as favorite and as a gel they would regularly use. Conclusion. The methods of textural and sensory analysis represent valuable approaches in drug/cosmetic product design because they offer insight in the compliance of patients/consumers.
Some aspects of privatization effects on the labor market in the Republic of Serb
Authors: Zimonjić Stefan
Published: August 2022

In the last more than 30 years transformation of numerous state-owned companies has been privatized in countries that started the transition process from socialism to free trade and capitalism including Serbia. Many economic studies prior to the transition process have started pointing out the importance of these changes for economic development and efficient growth of economies. After these processes were established, many praised privatization and its positive impact on economies on the whole as well as on micro levels of the firms. Regardless of studies and their findings, the interesting part is the public opinion of those processes which is generally very suspicious in terms of their benefits. It is not hard to understand the reasons, privatization is hard to sell in political and social terms, it leads to many unpopular decisions and impacts on the working class, it brings changes that are sometimes hard to understand and accept, as positive, people that are perceived as unproductive, lose their jobs and stay without income in very volatile external conditions. Privatization result is positively perceived in transition countries but in Serbia dominant perception is that it has been badly realized and has had a big and negative impact on labor and layoffs. The conclusion is that privatization has led to a worse set of selected models, as well as problems in the implementation and problems of annulment of one of their important parts.
Anulabilidad de las cláusulas abusivas
Authors: Correa Valenzuela Gustavo Andrés
Published: August 2022

Esta obra presenta el problema del desconocimiento de la naturaleza jurídica del fenómeno denominado “cláusulas abusivas”, partiendo de la existencia de la gran diversidad de planteamientos y tratamientos jurídicos dados a dicho fenómeno a nivel internacional, con principal énfasis en el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano, donde se encuentran distintas concepciones y consecuencias para el mismo fenómeno. Ante dicha situación se pretende determinar cuál es la naturaleza jurídica de las cláusulas abusivas, los elementos y requisitos para que se configure dicho fenómeno jurídico para poder determinar cuál es la consecuencia jurídica que debe aplicarse al mismo, procurando una simetría entre una y otra, así como un entendimiento a mayor profundidad del fenómeno que tanta importancia ha cobrado a nivel internacional en los últimos años debido a la masificación y estandarización de la contratación en los distintos sectores económicos y comerciales, proponiendo que la consecuencia adecuada para una cláusula que constituya un abuso debe ser la anulabilidad o nulidad relativa de la misma. El planteamiento que se propone, enfocado en el análisis del contrato de seguros y la posibilidad de abuso de posición dominante contractual en la predisposición de las cláusulas a regir en dicho contrato, no obsta para que pueda ser aplicado a los demás contratos civiles y mercantiles, toda vez que al ser el mismo fenómeno jurídico del que trata la obra, la consecuencia de este ha de ser igual tratándose del mismo contrato en el que una de las partes se encuentre en la capacidad de determinar unilateralmente las condiciones que regirán la ejecución del contrato.
Attending to the Ethical Orientation of Health and Care Regulators: The Pursuit of Coherence Between Care Quality, Professionalism and Regulation in the UK
Authors: Cribb Alan , Christmas Simon
Published: August 2022

This paper offers an empirically informed ethical analysis of the recent history of health and social care regulation in the UK focused especially on the contributions made by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care. The paper is largely organised around two broad questions: First, in what respects can regulation support, mobilise and model professionalism and professional identity? Second, nested within this, given that regulation can support the professional identities of diverse practitioners can it, at the same time, help enable coordination across, and integration of, health and social care activities? These concerns, we suggest, highlight the value of viewing professional regulation in the context of the broader collaborative zeitgeist in health and care and as shaping the ethical landscape for professionals. We thereby make a case for the value of attending to the ethical orientation of professional regulation.
"It only hurts when I laugh"
Authors: Plester Barbara , Bentley Tim , Brewer Emily
Published: August 2022

Our study examines the impacts on workers when organisational humour is repeated, sustained, dominating, and potentially harmful, and thus can be considered to be bullying. In an ethnographic study of an idiosyncratic New Zealand IT company, we observed humour that was sexualised, dominating, and perpetrated by the most powerful organizational members. We argue that the compelling need for belonging in this extreme organizational culture influenced workers to accept bullying humour as just a joke and therefore acceptable and harmless even when it contravened societal workplace norms. Our contribution is in identifying and extending the significant theoretical relationship between workplace humour and bullying that, to date, is not well-explored in organizational research.
