impact of regional trade agreements on bilateral trade flows: A Systemic Literature Review
Authors: MCHANI SIBULELE
Published: January 2023

This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on the impact of regional trade agreements on trade. The empirical literature is arranged based on the econometricmethods used to estimate the gravity model. Advantages and disadvantages of each method were highlighted. Papers covering RTAs from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe were reviewed to gain a more representative understanding. The covered empirical literature suggests that the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) estimator is more reliable than OLS in estimating gravity models, as it can deal with zero trade flows. The Fixed Effects (FE) approach produces more consistent estimates than the Random Effects (RE) approach when quantifying the effects of RTAs. This is because it allows one to control for the unobserved time-invariant variables. Surprisingly, the covered literature suggests that a great majority of African RTAs generated trade, regardless of the method of estimation used.

Exit strategies of family businesses in Hungary
Authors: Mosolygó-Kiss Ágnes , Kucséber László , Szennay Áron
Published: January 2023

The study aims to examine the ownership transmission strategies in the context of family firm succession in Hungary. The successful transfer of ownership, management and acquired experience at a family firm represents one of its greatest challenges; however, there is still a lack of understanding of the unique future strategies and succession outcomes of Hungarian family businesses. As a significant proportion of the founders of those family businesses established after the regime change (post-1989) are now reaching retirement age, a study of how such business organisations plan to survive the generational transition is highly relevant. This study applies a mixed methodology of quantitative and a qualitative analysis (e.g.,in the case of IPOs). The results show that the average age of the examined family firm CEOs is higher than the global average and the majority of them plans to keep ownership and management within the family. Other exit strategies (i.e. initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions) are not typical of the examined sample.
Methods Used in the Development of Common Data Models for Health Data: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Ahmadi Najia , Zoch Michele , Kelbert Patricia , Noll Richard , Schaaf Jannik , Wolfien Markus , Sedlmayr Martin
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Common data models (CDMs) are essential tools for data harmonization, which can lead to significant improvements in the health domain. CDMs unite data from disparate sources and ease collaborations across institutions, resulting in the generation of large standardized data repositories across different entities. An overview of existing CDMs and methods used to develop these data sets may assist in the development process of future models for the health domain, such as for decision support systems.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review investigates methods used in the development of CDMs for health data. We aim to provide a broad overview of approaches and guidelines that are used in the development of CDMs (ie, common data elements or common data sets) for different health domains on an international level.

METHODS

This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist. We conducted the literature search in prominent databases, namely, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Scopus, starting from January 2000 until March 2022. We identified and screened 1309 articles. The included articles were evaluated based on the type of adopted method, which was used in the conception, users’ needs collection, implementation, and evaluation phases of CDMs, and whether stakeholders (such as medical experts, patients’ representatives, and IT staff) were involved during the process. Moreover, the models were grouped into iterative or linear types based on the imperativeness of the stages during development.

RESULTS

We finally identified 59 articles that fit our eligibility criteria. Of these articles, 45 specifically focused on common medical conditions, 10 focused on rare medical conditions, and the remaining 4 focused on both conditions. The development process usually involved stakeholders but in different ways (eg, working group meetings, Delphi approaches, interviews, and questionnaires). Twenty-two models followed an iterative process.

CONCLUSIONS

The included articles showed the diversity of methods used to develop a CDM in different domains of health. We highlight the need for more specialized CDM development methods in the health domain and propose a suggestive development process that might ease the development of CDMs in the health domain in the future.

BACKGROUND

Statistical analysis for the review of medical students of Jordanian medical schools regarding the clinical elective course. For example, where students tend to spend this period and to understand the impact of elective course on professional, personal and cultural levels from the participants' perspective and if it has long-term effects.

OBJECTIVE

The study aims to understand the effect of the clinical elective course (abroad or inside Jordan) on the medical students of Jordanian universities at professional, personal, and cultural levels. In addition to the long-term impacts. It also aims to explore the best possible ways to take advantage of this course.

METHODS

A quantitative cross-sectional study. A well-structured questionnaire was distributed through social media platforms targeting doctors and medical students who participated in national or international elective throughout their 6th-year medical school. A total of 385 participants (Mean age is 26.32± 4.072). All doctors and graduates of Jordanian medical schools (class of 2020 and earlier) were invited to participate.

RESULTS

Most of the participants had international elective (268) compared to (117) who took national elective. Participants rated cross-cultural development following elective among participants who had international elective with the highest mean score of 4.09 (± 0.941) out of 5, followed by personal development. On the professional level, 75% agreed or strongly agreed that elective improved their communication skills with patients.

CONCLUSIONS

Elective provides an environment that prepares students to participate in clinical medicine and communicates professionally with patients and colleagues. Elective increases the level of self-confidence and self-dependence. Elective also has been shown to reinforce preferred speciality choices and elevate clinical compassion among medical students.

Procesos sociales asociados al cambio legal sobre diversidad sexual en Ecuador (1980-2018)
Authors: Cardona Acuña Luz Ángela
Published: January 2023

En este artículo se analizan los procesos sociales asociados con los eventos de cambio legal sobre diversidad sexual (CLDS) entre 1980 y 2018 en Ecuador. Para ello, se utilizó el process tracing y se realizaron 48 entrevistas a actores claves que participaron en estos cambios, se establecieron las interacciones societales y socioestatales, antecedentes y consecuentes de cada evento. Un hallazgo importante es que las interacciones societales ampliadas, de solidaridad, acuerdo e innovación resultan favorables; además, interacciones socioestatales de intercambio/ aprendizaje en las tres ramas del poder público son propicias. Las sedimentaciones históricas evocadas y los linajes de los actores sociales operan como mecanismos entre los CLDS y las interacciones. Se muestra también que, en todo CLDS, hay disputas sobre lo que debe ser resultado final en la ley, lo que evidencia el carácter relacional, contextual y transitorio que tiene el derecho. Finalmente, se explicita que el interaccionismo procesual resulta un enfoque adecuado para comprender cómo se desarrollan los cambios. Este tipo de análisis resulta complementario a los estudios legales, de género, sexualidad y de movimientos sociales.

Pitirim Sorokin’s sociology and German jurisprudence
Authors: Kraevsky A. A.
Published: January 2023

The article considers the connection between the social-legal theory of P.A. Sorokin and the main directions of the German jurisprudence in the 17th - early 20th century: natural-legal school, historical school, jurisprudence of interests and the theory of the revived natural law. The genesis of Sorokin’s sociological ideas is usually considered in the context of the general development of sociology in the second half of the 19th century - early 20th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, when Sorokin was turning into an independent scholar, sociological issues were discussed in the teaching of other disciplines, in particular legal ones, which Sorokin studied at the Faculty of Law of the Saint Petersburg University. Sorokin’s study of legal sciences, especially of criminal and state law, affected his further research. The author argues that some important aspects of Sorokin’s sociology of law are closely connected with the main directions of the legal thought of his time, in particular with the works of German jurists and philosophers of law. The ideas of all four directions of German jurisprudence are reflected in Sorokin’s works, primarily in the theory of organized groups as a basis of his sociology of law. The classic school of natural law is represented by the social contract theory and corresponds to the purposeful organization of groups. The concept of the organic development of law by the leader of the historical school F.C. von Savigny is reflected in the spontaneous organization of groups. The jurisprudence of interests with R. von Jhering’s idea of the struggle for law anticipated the idea of purposeful formation of law in a social conflict. R. Stammler’s concept of the revived natural law contains a general idea of the organizing role of law. The elements of the first three theories are used by Sorokin in his theory of the origin of organized groups, while Stammler’s idea is close to the general understanding of the social function of law by Sorokin and one of his teachers L.I. Petrażycki.
Revolutionizing Pancasila as the ideology of Indonesians

Published: January 2023

This article examines whether Pancasila as the sole principle and ideology and state philosophy is reflected in the Indonesian society. Understanding and appreciation of the values of Pancasila ideology are often considered only as a jargon, i.e., in the verbal perspective. Its implementation is neglected due to lack of insight and knowledge about Pancasila and not knowing its basic principles. Pancasila, which consists of five precepts, includes a series of attitudes and knowledge as well as hopes from the struggle of the Indonesian people to gain independence, and is regulated in the Pancasila state. The first precept is about God the Almighty ( Ketuhanan yang Maha Esa ); the second precept is about just and civilized humanity ( Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab ); the third precept claims the ‘unity of Indonesia’ ( Persatuan Indonesia ); the fourth precept claims democracy led by wisdom in the representative deliberation; the fifth precept claims social justice for all Indonesian people ( Keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia ). Pancasila is the source of all laws in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which constitutes it as a sovereign and prosperous country supporting the wealth of its people, the divinity in the One and Only, freedom of religion, respect for diversity and pluralism, and building a democratic state. Social problems that often occur in every society usually start from breaking the law, dangers of the extremism doctrine, and criminal acts of corruption that can damage the grassroots of Pancasila. Therefore, to defend the country and strengthen the basic precepts of Pancasila, it is necessary to understand and deepen the practice of Pancasila in the ideology of nationalism and democracy.
Development of Russian tourism in the contemporary social and ethnocultural conditions
Authors: Chistyakova O. V.
Published: January 2023

The author considers tourism as a relevant social-cultural phenomenon of contemporary Russia, which is important for economic development and establishing interethnic and interreligious balance in the cultural-axiological space of Russa. The author pays special attention to the migration processes in their connection with the situation in the tourism and hospitality industry and prospects for its development. Considering the global diversity of migration forms and types, the category of legal foreign labor migration is analyzed to clarify some substantial issues of external labor migration as having social and intercultural meanings. The author explains the efficiency of labor migrant flows in the renewing Russian touristic sphere; emphasizes the ethnocultural specificity of tourism and the ethnic character of migration; considers the regional situation through the host population’s perception of labor migrants and the native population’s assessment of the ambiguous role of foreign specialists in the formation of ethnic-cultural and civil identities in the multicultural Russian society. Tourism is defined as a significant economic and intercultural stabilizing factor contributing to the development of a tolerant environment and integrating external migrants into the host society. The article describes the relationship between the effective development of internal tourism and the progressive regulation of foreign labor migration. The analysis of the features of migration processes shows the changing nature of external labor migration due to objective socialeconomic factors, and the role of labor migrants in the formation of the all-Russian civil identity. The author insists on the correlation between the growing attractiveness of tourist sites and a stable and peaceful situation in the sphere of interethnic and interreligious relations, including between the autochthonous and allochthonous peoples of multinational Russia.

As redes sociais vêm cada vez mais ganhando espaço para a divulgação de informações, principalmente as relacionadas à saúde. No entanto, diante do fato de que muitas vezes as informações compartilhadas são falsas ou tendenciosas, percebemos a necessidade da criação de um perfil para a propagação de conteúdos baseados em fatos científicos, de fácil acesso, tanto para a população acadêmica quanto para a população em geral. O estudo descritivo do tipo relato de experiência foi feito baseado em um questionário feito na plataforma Google Forms. Esse foi divulgado à população alvo e continha cinco perguntas qualitativas sobre conhecimentos gerais do sono e o efeito do projeto em sua rotina de sono. A amostra foi composta por 57 seguidores do projeto na plataforma Instagram. 100% dos participantes consideraram a educação em saúde e a medicina importante, além de alegarem terem obtido maior conhecimento sobre o assunto após o projeto. Além disso, 84,2% da amostra soube que sono está relacionado com aprendizado e memória, enquanto 89,5% sentiram que os posts do projeto ajudaram em sua noite de sono.  A partir do trabalho, ficou evidente que o projeto de extensão “Medicina do Sono no Instagram” foi importante no que se

refere ao conhecimento social da população, impactando de maneira positiva na qualidade de vida das pessoas, a partir das redes sociais que foram instrumentos de suma importância para o projeto.

Authors: Tello Ana María Sagrario , Zabala Maria Teresa , Klement Cora Alejandra
Published: January 2023

Pesquisas sobre o ensino superior na América Latina e as políticas educacionais atuais, com as consequentes configurações no trabalho docente, manifestam as profundas influências no cotidiano dos professores universitários. Observam-se práticas de um alto grau de individualismo, competitividade e subordinação a uma lógica mercantilista que afeta as identidades historicamente construídas em torno da concepção do conhecimento como direito social, do caráter público da educação e de suas instituições. A centralidade do professor requer abordar os estudos a partir de uma perspectiva teórico-metodológica de corte qualitativo que possibilite o aprofundamento das situações singulares do trabalho docente, seus processos de trabalho, saberes e práticas. Este artigo socializa uma experiência formativa em cursos de pós-graduação para professores da Universidad Nacional de San Luis organizada por um projeto de pesquisa como atividade de transferência em 2018 e 2019. O valor da formação é observado a partir de uma ação reflexiva ao tornar visíveis as realidades múltiplas e heterogêneas do trabalho docente, evidenciando essa complexa trama desenvolvida pelos professores onde o cotidiano e o institucional se encontram. Valoriza-se a tentativa de resgatar possibilidades de constituição de sujeitos coletivos e práticas sociais relevantes em prol de um projeto de ensino que contemple o sentido profundo do ato educativo.

Authors: Tusprianto Himawan
Published: January 2023

This study was aimed to reveal the shift of hero’s journey archetypes in presenting Moore’s Hercules comic book to its movie adaptation. Therefore, the researcher dealt with the comic book and the movie adaptation as the object of the study, in which adaptation and archetypes frames are applied as the theories to analyze the data. The result of the study was the explanation upon the shifts appeared in the adapted work and the reasons behind the shifts. This research belonged to the qualitative research field. To collect the data, the researcher used the documentation technique. Then the collected data were arranged based on its classification. The technique of analyzing the data was content analysis. It was meant to draw the pattern of archetypes that is seen within the content both in comic book and its movie adaptation. Furthermore, making shifts in the product of adaptation in regard to the audiences was considered as the pattern, too. Based on the analysis, it was found that the movie adaptation was unfaithful adaptation towards Moore’s. The comic book version delivered the story in sadistic and bloody tone which could be seen from the pictorial images in the panels or words within the balloon text. It was such a contradiction with what were presented in the movie version. The researcher found that the comic book version brought Hercules in a “rampant mode”, while the movie version presented him in a “savior mode”. There were two reasons why the adapter made these shifts. It was because of the values that were believed by the target audiences and because the movie production had to deal with the law, culture, and movie industry movement. Thus, inappropriate things had to be replaced or transformed to be more acceptable for the wider societies.
INTERTEXTUALITY OF THE SAGAS OF RAGNAR LODBROK BY BEN WAGGONER AND ITS TV-SERIES VERSION: VIKINGS (SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM APPROACH)

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Mythical and historical stories were mushroomingly adapted into movies. However, intertextuality is proven to be an obstacle in the adaptation process since adaptation might trigger losses on the meaning of the original works.Addressing this issue, this descriptive qualitative research attempts to reveal (1) the types of intertextuality found from the Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok by Ben Waggoner and its TV-Series Version: Vikings through the characterization of Ragnar Lodbrok, (2) how is intertextuality presented in the Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok by Ben Waggoner and its TV-Series Version: Vikings through the characterization of Ragnar Lodbrok. Intertextuality theory by Fitzsimmons (2013) and characterization theory by Bernardo (2015) were applied to answer these problems. The data of this research were words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and visualizations, considered to reflect the characters of the story. The data were taken from the Sagas of Ragnar Lodbrok and Vikings TV series. The data were analyzed by employing Spradleyâ€™s componential analysis. Symbolic Interactionism approach was applied in this research to reveal how characters were treated as a symbolic meaning in intertextual domain. Derived from the analysis, this research unveils three types of intertextuality namely optional, obligatory, and accidental. The data shows that optional intertextuality is the most common type of intertextuality found from this research. Characterization of Ragnar was intertextually presented through thirteen manners or types with what others say and physical visualization as the recurring types. These findings indicate that a shift on perspective occurs. This shift signifies how Ragnar Lodbrok is differently treated to meet the distinctive features of the media in which the story occurs and the users of the media.

Contrary to remarkable advances within the cell therapy industry,
scientists expose dissatisfied challenges associated with the
preservation and post-thaw cell death globally. Post cryopreservation
apoptosis is normally observed in cultures and scientists are focusing
on incorporation of apoptosis inhibitors. Impressive transport of cells
without affecting their survival and function is a crucial and pivotal
factor in any practical cell-based therapies. Preservation of cells
permits the transportation of cells between distances, as well as
improvement of safety and quality control testing in clinical and
research applications. The prosperity of transportation methods is
evaluated through the viability and proliferation percentages of the
transported cell. For many decades, the conventional methods of
transferring cells globally having adverse effects and speculated to be
a challenging and expensive method. The main purpose of some studies is
the optimization of cell survival after cryopreservation. In the new
generation of cryopreservation science, various experiments wish to
discover suitable and alternative methods for cell transportation to
ship viable cells at ambient temperature without dry ice or in media
filled flasks. In this review we try to represent a summary of the
detection of recent studies including dry preservation, hypothermic
preservation, agarose-gel based method, polymer based cryogel matrix,
encapsulation method, fibrin microbeads, osmolyte solution composition,
collagen-based scaffold, natural zwitterionic betaine, bio-inspired
cryo-ink that have been performed alternative, effective and economic
methods for shipping viable cells at ambient temperature.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, the blockages in the air nozzle duct were divided into
two types of wall layer blockages (WLB) and central layer blockages
(CLB), and the composition, microstructure and formation mechanism of
the blockages were analysed. The analysis revealed that the WLB had a
high content of Fe, Cr and Ni, and was mainly mesoporous with a
semi-open pore structure closed at one end. The CLB contained more
organic matter and inorganic minerals, the strongest absorption peaks of
organic matter were mainly Self-associated OH, while the absorption
peaks of inorganic minerals were mainly asymmetric Si-O-Si functional
groups. It was assumed that the blockage was mainly caused by the
difference in resistance at the outlet of the air nozzle, resulting in a
flow dead zone at the bottom of the gasifier, which caused the ash to
overcome the resistance and leak into the air nozzle.

A flow-through catalytic membrane micro-reactor (CMR) with Cu/ZnO/Al2O3
nanoparticles immobilized in porous membrane pores has been developed
for hydrogen production by methanol steam reforming (MSR). The
characteristics for CMR demonstrated Cu/ZnO/Al2O3 nanoparticles with
almost 200 nm were successfully in situ immobilized in membrane pores.
During MSR for hydrogen production in CMR by flow-through mode, hydrogen
productivity of 500 mmol h-1 g-1 cat. and selectivity of 100% can be
achieved under the condition of temperature being 360℃, molar ratio of
water to methanol of 8.8 and gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 176.7 L
g-1 h-1. Compared with the commercial fixed bed reactor, the hydrogen
productivity in CMR is one order of magnitude higher, owing to MSR
confined in the space of membrane pore with micro-scale. The methanol
conversation rate of over 95% can be expected, if five sheets of CMR
with thickness of 5 mm was assembly in series.
Reduction of Peak Power of Reflected Pulse in TEM Horn Antennas by Loading LC Components
Authors: Bao Rong , Ding Zhenjie , Wang Hongguang , Li Yongdong
Published: January 2023

TEM horn antennas are used in ultra-wide-band high-power applications.
High reflected peak powers can threat and damage the pulse generators.
In this work, the peak power of the reflected pulse is reduced by
loading series LC circuits at the endings of a linearly-tapered TEM horn
antenna. Blend edges at the endings are also applied. The influences of
the blend edges and LC components on the reflected pulse and radiation
performances are simulated using CST MS Studio. The dispersive
propagation of the wave caused by the loaded LC components is considered
as the mechanism of the reduction of the peak power of the reflected
pulse, which is effectively reduced by 45%. Meanwhile the peak-to-peak
voltage monitored at a point in far-field on the bore-sight direction
remains well and a small enhancement of the low-frequency directivity is
observed.

Authors: Moazzen Nasrin , Bakhtiari Elham , Ghahremani Sara
Published: January 2023

Objective: There are some concerns regarding long-term
complications of COVID-19 in children. A systematic review and
meta-analysis was performed evaluating the respiratory symptoms and
pulmonary function, post-SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: A
systematic search was performed in databases up to 30 December 2022
. Studies evaluating respiratory symptoms and pulmonary
function after COVID-19 infection in children were selected. The major
outcomes were frequency of respiratory symptoms and mean of spirometry
parameters. Pooled mean with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was
calculated. Results: A total of 6 articles with 272 patients
were included in meta-analysis. Dyspnea and cough were the most common
symptoms. The meta-mean of forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced
vital capacity (FVC) was 101.72%, 95% CI= (98.72, 104.73) and 101.31
%, 95% CI= (95.44, 107.18) respectively. The meta-mean of FEV1/FVC and
Forced expiratory flow at 25 and 75% was 96.16 %, 95% CI= (90.47,
101.85) and 105.05 %, 95% CI= (101.74, 108.36) respectively. The
meta-mean of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide was 105.30%,
95%CI= (88.12, 122.49). There was no significant difference in
spirometry parameters before and after bronchodilator inhalation.
Conclusions: Despite of some clinical respiratory symptoms,
meta-results showed no abnormality in pulmonary function in follow-up of
children with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Disease severity and asthma
background had not confounded this outcome.

Earthworms modulate the carbon and nitrogen cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems, their effect may be affected by deposited compounds due to
human activity such as industrial emissions. However, studies
investigating how deposited compounds affect the role of earthworms in
carbon cycling such as litter decomposition are lacking, although they
are important for understanding the influence of deposited compounds on
ecosystems and the bioremediation by applying earthworms. For this, we
performed a 365-day in situ litterbag decomposition experiment in a
deciduous (Quercus variabilis) and coniferous (Pinus massoniana) forest
in southeast China. We manipulated nitrogen (N), sodium (Na) and
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) deposited compounds during litter
decomposition with and without earthworms (Eisenia fetida). After one
year, N, Na and PAH compounds all slowed down litter mass loss, with the
effects of Na being the strongest. By contrast, E. fetida generally
increased litter mass loss and their positive effects were uniformly
maintained irrespective of the type of deposited compounds. Further, the
pathways earthworms increasing litter mass loss varied among the types
of deposited compounds and forests. As indicated by structural equation
modeling, earthworms maintained their positive effects and mitigated the
negative effects of deposited compounds by directly increasing litter
mass loss and indirectly increasing soil pH and microbial biomass.
Overall, the results indicate that the acceleration of earthworms on
litter mass loss is not affected by deposited compounds, with the
pathways of earthworms increasing litter mass loss varying among the
types of deposited compounds and forests. This suggests that the effects
of atmospheric deposited compounds and earthworms on terrestrial
ecosystem processes need to be taken into account because earthworms may
cancel out the detrimental influence of deposited compounds on litter
decomposition.
