Authors: Grinhauz Aldana Sol , Azzara Sergio Héctor , Azzollini Susana Celeste
Published: January 2022

El presente estudio buscó analizar si existen diferencias en rescatistas con más o menos experiencia, en sus dimensiones de personalidad según el modelo del Big Five o Modelo de los Cinco Grandes. Se trabajó con una muestra de 246 rescatistas. El promedio de edad fue de 31,40 años (DT = 10.44). 136 rescatistas eran novatos, y 110 rescatistas tenían experiencia en situaciones de emergencia (Maños de experiencia = 9,84; DT = 6.77). Se utilizó una adaptación del instrumento Big Five Inventory. Los rescatistas novatos reportaron una mayor tendencia a la experimentación de sus emociones negativas con mayor intensidad e inestabilidad en comparación con los experimentados. Estos resultados proveen evidencia acerca de la importancia de desarrollar una personalidad resistente para los rescatistas experimentados donde la estabilidad emocional juegue un papel determinante.

Published: January 2022

En 2021 la pandemia de la COVID-19, con sus sucesivas oleadas y cepas, ha creado un caos sobre las previsiones económicas. Hemos asistido a una nueva guerra fría entre Estados Unidos, China y Rusia con nuevas fricciones comerciales, energéticas y cibernéticas. Ha habido poca fluidez y encarecimiento del transporte internacional, desabastecimientos de componentes y rotura de cadenas de valor y replanteamientos de deslocalización de producciones. Las políticas expansivas y los bajos tipos de interés han aumentado los niveles de deuda. Tensiones inflacionistas que no se conocían desde hace años han reaparecido. Los organismos mundiales, el G7 y el G20 no han encontrado soluciones para la gobernanza mundial y para alcanzar los objetivos de la Agenda 2030. Europa ha visto la culminación del Brexit y ha avanzado hacia una opción federal con el Next Generation EU para impulsar la economía y transformarla para competir con Estados Unidos y China, pese al Brexit y los populismos. España confía en salir de la crisis.

The key aspects of smart contract and its use in the modern world. Prospects for the development of a «smart contract» in the context of the formation of digitalization
Authors:   PSC Business against Corruption under the Commissioner for Rights, Prudius Elena V.
Published: January 2022

The rapid spread of digital technologies, namely – innovative technologies, has set the trajectories for the development of a new stage in the economy of the information society. Such growth is closely related to the emergence of new ways of doing business, new ways of concluding contracts and fulfilling contractual obligations, new forms of existence of contracts and new contractual structures. Thus, there is a need to form a new regulatory environment that provides a favorable legal regime for the emergence and development of modern technologies, as well as for the implementation of economic activities related to their use. Of particular importance in this case is the conclusion of transactions in electronic form. One of the varieties of such transactions can be called a smart contract, which has long been actively distributed in foreign countries, but is not used so often in the Russian Federation. The main reason for the low number of such «smart» contracts is that the legislator has practically not paid attention to the legal regulation of this category. The purpose of the work is to analyze smart contracts, identify problems in their application and propose solutions to the current situation. The following methods were used: historical, comparative law, induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis. The author came to the conclusion that there is no legal definition of smart contracts and the specifics of its conclusion in the current legislation. Cryptocurrency is also closely related to smart contracts, which is also not fully regulated. In this regard, the author suggests ways to solve the identified problems.

Published: January 2022

An organisation's efficiency and effectiveness can be viewed as depending on the qualification of its employees. Organisational support and career development are among the factors that enable organisations to employ and retain qualified people. This study, which was conducted within the context of a social exchange, investigates the effect of career development on job engagement. As a result of the literature research, it has been determined that career development has a positive effect on job engagement, and it is further considered that normative commitment might have a mediating effect and organisational justice might have a moderating role in this relationship. The data was collected from 234 academics from four foundation universities in the Ankara and Mersin provinces of Turkey. The collected data were analysed using SPSS and AMOS package programs and the R and Python programming languages. The analyses demonstrate that there is a positive causal relationship between career development and job engagement, while normative commitment has a partial mediating role in this relationship, and organisational justice does not have a moderator role.

The Impact of External Communication Strategy on Blockchain Startups: Analysing the Case of Credits Blockchain Platform
Authors: Bruce Sadia
Published: January 2022

Communication is always an important part of establishing a business’ sense of direction and growth; information needs to be accessed by the receiver in an appropriate way and put across in a clear, impactful and engaging way so that it will have an effect on the user. This research paper gives a detailed review of external communication strategies in the blockchain industry and how startups could revise their strategies over time to build trust and reputation. Even if the blockchain industry is becoming the preferred choice for businesses to securely conduct transactions, not many blockchain projects find acceptance amongst investors. Blockchain projects focus on raising funds for their ventures at a stage where they seldom have a viable product and using unregulated means of fundraising like initial coin offerings (ICO) or initial exchange offerings (IEO) have in turn been used to accumulate capital for such projects. With trust depleting in these means of fundraising, blockchain are becoming increasingly aware of the need to tailor their communication with potential investors. In this study, we’ve conducted cross-sectional studies across two separate times, once in 2017-18 at the time ICOs found prominence and then later in 2021, exploring how external communication strategies were revised and improved upon over time to ensure success and favour amongst users and investors.

Published: January 2022

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo averiguar a repercussão dos fluxos migratórios na saúde mental de crianças e adolescentes refugiados, como também verificar qual o impacto dessas alterações mentais na gênese da síndrome da resignação. Para isso, fez-se uso de uma revisão integrativa de literatura nas bases de dados eletrônicas: LILACS, SciELO, Frontiers e na revista FIDES-UFRN. Utilizaram-se os seguintes descritores: “Refugiados”, “Saúde Mental”, “Criança”, “Síndrome” e “Coma”. O operador booleano “AND” foi utilizado. Incluíram-se artigos disponíveis na íntegra; publicados entre 2016 e 2021; em português, inglês ou espanhol; cujos títulos e resumos estivessem em consonância com o propósito deste estudo. Excluíram-se teses, dissertações e resumos de anais. Posteriormente, foram realizadas a coleta, análise crítica e síntese dos dados. A síndrome da resignação configura-se como uma patologia ainda obscura e pouco detalhada, no tocante a sua etiologia e a fisiopatologia envolvidas. Infere-se também,  que os estudos voltados a análise da saúde mental de crianças refugiadas ainda são escassos, porém os dados apontam para existência direta de sofrimento psíquico nessa faixa etária, o que relaciona-se ao surgimento da síndrome supracitada. Conclui-se, a partir dos dados levantados, que ocorre sofrimento psíquico nas crianças que vivenciam uma migração involuntária. As repercussões desse processo na saúde mental de crianças refugiadas, ilustradas pela síndrome da resignação, revelam a magnitude do sofrimento mental desencadeado por migrações extenuantes e demoradas, marcadas por violência e intolerância, que configuram um problema de saúde pública.

A 73 year old man with a history of bradycardia with prior pacemaker implantation, mitral regurgitation with prior bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valve repair, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and recurrent pleural effusions was admitted from clinic due to worsening fatigue, abdominal distension, and leg swelling. Upon arrival, he was fluid overloaded on exam with markedly elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (3317 ng/dL). Acute decompensated heart failure was suspected and the patient was given intravenous furosemide. An echocardiogram was performed which revealed a newly declined ejection fraction of 20-24%, decreased from 30-35% previously. Given his decline in systolic function, a left heart catheterization was pursued to evaluate for new coronary ischemia. The left heart catheterization revealed obstructive distal vessel disease which was not significant enough to explain his cardiomyopathy. During the heart catheterization, the patient was incidentally noted to have a heavily calcified spleen (Figure 1A). To further evaluate this, a CT of the abdomen & pelvis were performed which revealed diffuse, stippled calcifications throughout the spleen (Figure 1B).

A partir del reporte de la vigilancia sindrómica comunitaria implementada en los Alojamientos Temporales de Emergencia (ATE) del municipio de Mocoa y posterior a emergencia de origen natural con interrupción de líneas vitales; se detectó un posible brote de Enfermedad Transmitida por Alimentos (ETA). Se realizó una investigación de brote que buscó caracterizar a la población afectada y expuesta, determinar la posible fuente, identificar el agente causal y generar información para cortar la cadena de transmisión. Se encuestaron 267 personas de las cuales 53 (19,85 %) cumplieron con la definición de caso. El período de incubación más corto fue de dos horas y el más largo 31 horas. La curva epidémica mostró una fuente de transmisión propagada y persistente y el corto periodo de incubación sugiere una etiología toxigénica de origen bacteriano. La posible fuente estaría relacionada con contaminación cruzada en alguna parte del proceso de la cadena de almacenamiento, preparación y servido de los alimentos. Se encontró asociación estadística en cuatro alimentos consumidos, siendo de mayor a menor carne Goulash, arveja, jugo procesado de frutas y espaguetis. Las muestras biológicas tuvieron resultado negativo en tres casos para enteropatógenos y se aisló una cepa de V. Cholerae no O1 no O139, no toxigénico, lo que descarta que sea un riesgo como agente etiológico de cólera. La evolución de todos los casos fue favorable y sin requerimiento de hospitalización por lo que se trató de un cuadro benigno.

Devletler, günümüz dünyasında daha etkin söz sahibi olabilmek için nitelikli insan kaynağına dün olduğundan daha fazla ihtiyaç duymaktadırlar. Nitelikli insan kadrolarını arttırmak üzere kullandıkları araçların başında da eğitim yer almaktadır. Bu sayede toplumlar sahip oldukları insan kaynağını temelden planlayarak, geleceklerini kontrol etme niyetini taşımaktadırlar. Türkiye, Soğuk Savaş sonrasında dış politikasında birtakım değişikliklere gitmiş, bu anlamda daha ziyade dış yardımlar ve kültürel diplomasiyi tercih etmiştir. Bu yaşanan değişimle birlikte hükumet dışı ve hükûmet içi kuruluşlar aracılığı ile dış politikasını çeşitlendirmiş, çok yönlü ve çok amaçlı stratejilerini Maarif Vakfı ve buna benzer kuruluşlarla desteklemiştir. Türkiye’nin zengin kültürel varlığı yumuşak güç kapasitesini arttırmakta, bu anlamda oluşturulan yeni kurum ve kuruluşlar da yumuşak güç kapasitesine önemli katkı sunmaktadır. 6721 sayılı yasa ile kurulan, Türkiye Maarif Vakfı (TMV), kamu yararı esasıyla çalışan ve kâr amacı taşımayan bir vakıf olarak tanımlanmaktadır.Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanarak Maarif Vakfı ile ilgili gözlem ve doküman analizi şeklinde veri toplama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sürecinde Maarif Vakfı’nın faaliyetlerine yönelik olaylar ve olgular gerçekçi bir ortamda, bütüncül bir şekilde incelenmeye çalışılmış, vakfın faaliyet gösterdiği bölgelerindeki toplum ve coğrafyaların üzerindeki etkileri irdelenmiştir. Böylece bir yumuşak güç unsuru olarak, Türkiye’nin uluslararası ilişkilerinde Türkiye Maarif Vakfı’nın oynadığı rol ve önem açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Zira Türkiye Maarif Vakfı’nın faaliyet yürüttüğü coğrafya ve toplumların sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yapıları ile sistemlerinin derinliklerini keşfetmek bu toplumlarla kurulan bağlar ve ilişkilerin küresel anlamda Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin gücüne güç katacağı ve etkinliğini arttıracağı düşünülmektedir.
Interference of Climate Change on Plant-Microbe Interaction: Present and Future Prospects

Plant mutualistic association with various beneficial microbes is referred to as the plant enhancer microbiome. These microbes are found either in episphere or endosphere of the plant tissues. Several pieces of evidence have highlighted that plant microbiomes and soil play a pivotal role in making soil nutrient balance which is readily available to plants and provide strength under various stresses. Recently different technologies relevant to plant microbiome and diversity such as sequencing technologies, metagenomics, and bioinformatics have been utilized. Knowledge about factors that shape the composition of plant microbes is still less explored. Here, current insights into the issues driving the above/below plant microbial diversities are explored. Primarily, we address the distribution of microbial communities above and below ground across plant habitats that has benefitted plants. Microbial communities are efficient regulators of biogeochemical cycle which is a better approach to mitigate changing climatic patterns aids in proper utilization of greenhouse gases for their metabolic mechanisms. The present review is thereby significant for assessing microbiome mitigation toward climate change and multiple avenues of plant- microbe interaction under commuting climatic scenario. Finally, we summarize factors that promote the structure and composition of the plant microbiome.
Water for Domestic Ducks: The Benefits and Challenges in Commercial Production

Published: January 2022

Although we have been farming ducks for at least 4,000 years, with some accounts suggesting domestication having begun more than 38,000 years ago, there are still many unknowns for optimizing domestic duck welfare in a commercial setting. Ducks being waterfowl, are semi-aquatic and have unique behavioral needs when compared to other commonly farmed poultry species. Providing ducks with open water which allows for full body immersion so that they may perform their full repertoire of water-related behaviors is important for their health and welfare. However, in a commercial setting this remains challenging due to biosecurity, contamination, health, and management concerns. An important question is therefore how best to provide ducks with a commercially feasible and safe water source in which they can derive maximum welfare and health benefits with no adverse consequences to health or global water resources. This review considers the amount of water provision necessary to satisfy duck's water-related needs to enhance yet not compromise their welfare in a commercial setting based on current knowledge, as well as identifies the outstanding questions for future research to address.

Mesenchymal stem/stromal cell (MSC)–based therapies for low back pain and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration have been emerging, despite the poor knowledge of their full mechanism of action. As failure of the annulus fibrosus (AF) is often associated with IVD herniation and inflammation, the objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of the MSC secretome on human AF cells exposed to mechanical loading and a pro-inflammatory environment. Human AF cells isolated from IVD biopsies from patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) or disc degeneration (DD) were exposed to physiological cyclic tensile strain (CTS) for 72 h in a custom-made device, with or without interleukin (IL)-1β medium supplementation. AF cells stimulated with CTS + IL-1β were then treated with secretome from IL-1β–preconditioned MSCs for 48 h. AF cell metabolic activity, gene expression, protein secretion, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, and tissue inhibitor of MMPs (TIMP) concentration were evaluated. Expanded AF cells from AIS and DD patients revealed similar metabolic activity and gene expression profiles. CTS stimulation upregulated collagen type I (COL1A1) expression, while IL-1β significantly stimulated IL-6, IL-8, MMP-1, and MMP-3 gene expression and prostaglandin E2 production by AF cells but downregulated COL1A1. The combination of CTS + IL-1β had a similar outcome as IL-1β alone, accompanied by a significant upregulation of elastin. The MSC secretome did not show any immunomodulatory effect on CTS + IL-1β–stimulated AF cells but significantly decreased MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9, while increasing the production of TIMP-1. The obtained results demonstrate a stronger impact of the inflammatory milieu on human AF cells than upper physiologic mechanical stress. In addition, a new MSC mechanism of action in degenerated IVD consisting of the modulation of AF MMP activity was also evidenced, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in AF tissue metabolism.

Nerve decellularized matrix (NDM) has received much attention due to its natural composition and structural advantages that had proven to be an excellent candidate for peripheral nerve regeneration. However, NDM with simultaneous biocompatibility, promoting nerve regeneration, as well as resistant to infection was rarely reporter. In this study, a porous NDM-CS scaffold with high antimicrobial activity and high biocompatibility was prepared by combining the advantages of both NDM and chitosan (CS) in a one-step method. The NDM-CS scaffold possessed high porosity and hydrophilicity, exhibited excellent biocompatibility which was suitable for cell growth and nutrient exchange. Meanwhile, NDM-CS scaffold had a significant antibacterial effect on both Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which could avoid wound infection during the repair process. In addition, the NDM-CS scaffold could support the growth and viability of Schwann cells effectively. Among them, the E2C1 group had the strongest ability to enhance proliferation, polarization and migration of Schwann cells among the three groups. The positive effect on Schwann cells indicated their ability in the process of nerve injury repair. Therefore, this NDM-CS scaffold may have potential prospects for application in neural tissue engineering.
