Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) suffer from alarmingly high rates of HIV in the United States. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can reduce the risk of HIV infection by 99% among men who have sex with men, yet profound racial disparities in the uptake of PrEP persist. Low PrEP uptake in BMSM is driven by poor access to PrEP, including inconvenient locations of PrEP-prescribing physicians, distrust of physicians, and stigma, which limit communication about PrEP and its side effects. Previous work indicates that offering HIV prevention services in pharmacies located in low-income, underserved neighborhoods is feasible and can reduce stigma because pharmacies offer a host of less stigmatized health services (eg, vaccinations). We present a protocol for a pharmacy PrEP model that seeks to address challenges and barriers to pharmacy-based PrEP specifically for BMSM.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to develop a sustainable pharmacy PrEP delivery model for BMSM that can be implemented to increase PrEP access in low-income, underserved neighborhoods.

METHODS

This study design is a pilot intervention to test a pharmacy PrEP delivery model among pharmacy staff and BMSM. We will examine the PrEP delivery model’s feasibility, acceptability, and safety and gather early evidence of its impact and cost with respect to PrEP uptake. A mixed-methods approach will be performed, including three study phases: (1) a completed formative phase with qualitative interviews from key stakeholders; (2) a completed transitional pilot phase to assess customer eligibility and willingness to receive PrEP in pharmacies during COVID-19; and (3) a planned pilot intervention phase which will test the delivery model in 2 Atlanta pharmacies in low-income, underserved neighborhoods.

RESULTS

Data from the formative phase showed strong support of pharmacy-based PrEP delivery among BMSM, pharmacists, and pharmacy staff. Important factors were identified to facilitate the implementation of PrEP screening and dissemination in pharmacies. During the transitional pilot phase, we identified 81 individuals who would have been eligible for the pilot phase.

CONCLUSIONS

Pharmacies have proven to be a feasible source for offering PrEP for White men who have sex with men but have failed to reach the most at-risk, vulnerable population (ie, BMSM). Increasing PrEP access and uptake will reduce HIV incidence and racial inequities in HIV. Translational studies are required to build further evidence and scale pharmacy-based PrEP services specifically for populations that are disconnected from HIV prevention resources.

Accuracy and Precision of Energy Expenditure, Heart Rate, and Steps Measured by Combined-Sensing Fitbits Against Reference Measures: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Chevance Guillaume , Golaszewski Natalie M , Tipton Elizabeth , Hekler Eric B , Buman Matthew , Welk Gregory J , Patrick Kevin , Godino Job G
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Although it is widely recognized that physical activity is an important determinant of health, assessing this complex behavior is a considerable challenge.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine, quantify, and report the current state of evidence for the validity of energy expenditure, heart rate, and steps measured by recent combined-sensing Fitbits.

METHODS

We conducted a systematic review and Bland-Altman meta-analysis of validation studies of combined-sensing Fitbits against reference measures of energy expenditure, heart rate, and steps.

RESULTS

A total of 52 studies were included in the systematic review. Among the 52 studies, 41 (79%) were included in the meta-analysis, representing 203 individual comparisons between Fitbit devices and a criterion measure (ie, n=117, 57.6% for heart rate; n=49, 24.1% for energy expenditure; and n=37, 18.2% for steps). Overall, most authors of the included studies concluded that recent Fitbit models underestimate heart rate, energy expenditure, and steps compared with criterion measures. These independent conclusions aligned with the results of the pooled meta-analyses showing an average underestimation of −2.99 beats per minute (k comparison=74), −2.77 kcal per minute (k comparison=29), and −3.11 steps per minute (k comparison=19), respectively, of the Fitbit compared with the criterion measure (results obtained after removing the high risk of bias studies; population limit of agreements for heart rate, energy expenditure, and steps: −23.99 to 18.01, −12.75 to 7.41, and −13.07 to 6.86, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Fitbit devices are likely to underestimate heart rate, energy expenditure, and steps. The estimation of these measurements varied by the quality of the study, age of the participants, type of activities, and the model of Fitbit. The qualitative conclusions of most studies aligned with the results of the meta-analysis. Although the expected level of accuracy might vary from one context to another, this underestimation can be acceptable, on average, for steps and heart rate. However, the measurement of energy expenditure may be inaccurate for some research purposes.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization Emergency Committee declared the rapid worldwide spread of COVID-19 a global health emergency. By December 2020, the safety and efficacy of the first COVID-19 vaccines had been demonstrated. However, international vaccination coverage rates have remained below expectations (in Europe at the time of manuscript submission). Controversial mandatory vaccination is currently being discussed and has already been introduced in some countries (Austria, Greece, and Italy). We used the Twitter survey system as a viable method to quickly and comprehensively gather international public health insights on mandatory vaccination against COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to better understand the public’s perception of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination in real time using Twitter polls.

METHODS

Two Twitter polls were developed (in the English language) to seek the public’s opinion on the possibility of mandatory vaccination. The polls were pinned to the Digital Health and Patient Safety Platform’s (based in Vienna, Austria) Twitter timeline for 1 week in mid-November 2021, 3 days after the official public announcement of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination in Austria. Twitter users were asked to participate and retweet the polls to reach the largest possible audience.

RESULTS

Our Twitter polls revealed two extremes on the topic of mandatory vaccination against COVID-19. Almost half of the 2545 respondents (n=1246, 49%) favor mandatory vaccination, at least in certain areas. This attitude contrasts with the 45.7% (n=1162) who categorically reject mandatory vaccination. Over one-quarter (n=621, 26.3%) of participating Twitter users said they would never get vaccinated, as reflected by the current Western European and North American vaccination coverage rate. Concatenating interpretation of these two polls should be done cautiously as participating populations might substantially differ.

CONCLUSIONS

Mandatory vaccination against COVID-19 (in at least certain areas) is favored by less than 50%, whereas it is opposed by almost half of the surveyed Twitter users. Since (social) media strongly influences public perceptions and views, and social media discussions and surveys are specifically susceptible to the “echo chamber effect,” the results should be interpreted as a momentary snapshot. Therefore, the results of this study need to be complemented by long-term surveys to maintain their validity.
Public Perception of COVID-19 Vaccines: A Social Media Qualitative Interpretative Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Odame Emmanuel , Dada Oluwabunmi , Nelson Jordan , Ogunyiola Ayorinde , Haley Jessica Ashley
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Vaccine hesitancy remains a major barrier to the successful campaign of vaccine programs, including COVID-19, globally. Understanding themes in perceptions among populations regarding vaccine science can aid in improving program implementation as well as potentially reduce socially induced vaccine hesitancy. Social media has been shown to be an increasingly useful tool for rapidly understanding public perceptions regarding public health concerns including vaccine adoption. However, specific themes regarding vaccine perceptions immediately after the COVID-19 vaccine release to the public has yet to be investigated.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to investigate the perceptions surrounding the COVID-19 vaccine among United States, Brazil, and India Twitter users within weeks post vaccine release.

METHODS

We collected Twitter data through Meltwater software using keywords including coronavirus, vaccines, Pfizer-BioTech, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson/Jassen, AstraZeneca, Novavax, Sinovac-Biotech, Covaxin, Covishield, Sputnik, United States, Brazil, and India in our search query. These keywords were also combined in a Boolean search style (i.e. COVID-19 and Pfizer) to retrieve relevant social media posts on COVID-19 vaccination and vaccines. We used R software to remove usernames, weblinks and other personal information and then the Nvivo 12 statistical software to analyze tweets and draw meanings through a qualitative interpretative approach.

RESULTS

Three key themes related to vaccine perception among 2,858 Twitter posts in the United States, Brazil, and India emerged in our analysis. These themes were mistrust in vaccine science (91.5%), religious push backs (5.4%), and politics of vaccination (3.5%). Several subthemes also emerged from these Twitter data.

CONCLUSIONS

Identifying social implications of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is vital in combating vaccine related misinformation as well as provision of accurate vaccine related public communications regarding vaccine acceptance among populations globally.

Authors: Nurdiyanto F A , Wulandari Ririn Mamiek , Wodong Griselda Maria Ancela
Published: December 2021

The availability of instruments for seeking professional help is crucial in identifying potential delays and failures to seek mental health help. The current study aims to adapt an Indonesian version of the Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) scale and evaluate its psychometric properties using a Rasch modeling approach. Adaptation of the Indonesian scale was carried out in collaboration with a panel of experts under the guidelines of the International Translating Commission. The psychometric evaluation involved 951 respondents (M = 243, F = 708) who participated through an online survey. The results of the Rasch modeling showed that the items of the Indonesian ATSPPH-SF had a good fit with the model. The response categories worked well and reliability was sufficient (item=1, respondent=.59, Cronbach's alpha=.67). This paper highlighted that the ATSPPH-SF Indonesia version is suggested to be valid and reliable. We concluded that ATSPPH-SF can be used in mental health professional help-seeking research in Indonesia.

Obesidad y género: una propuesta de investigación
Authors: Tinat Karine , Núñez Rodríguez Maribel
Published: December 2021

Este artículo hace una revisión de la literatura científica que se ha producido recientemente en torno a la obesidad en México, y analiza cómo la perspectiva de género ha sido abordada (o no) en los diferentes trabajos, así como la necesidad de incluirla como una herramienta interdisciplinaria en el estudio de la alimentación. Primero, se presentan diversas maneras de enfocar el tema de la obesidad en los textos revisados; se enfatiza en las cifras obtenidas y se ubica a la obesidad como una problemática social, económica y de salud pública donde se mezcla la influencia de conductas alimentarias, dinámicas familiares y políticas públicas. Segundo, se revisa cómo algunos estudios vinculan el tema de la obesidad con una perspectiva de género y se delinean las contribuciones que este enfoque podría aportar, evocando cuestiones como la discriminación y los movimientos feministas gordos en la conformación de la identidad cultural femenina actual.
Obesidad: ¿epidemia global o responsabilidad individual?
Authors: Sánchez Graillet Luis Avelino
Published: December 2021

Se plantea una respuesta a la alternativa de si la obesidad es una epidemia o una responsabilidad individual. Se sostiene que ambas caracterizaciones son incorrectas, y ahondan actitudes discriminatorias hacia las personas gordas. Ello se muestra, primero, con la historia del modo como la gordura se medicalizó y transformó en el concepto patológico de “obesidad”, y cómo a esta se la relacionó, de manera artificiosa, con otras enfermedades, para presentarla como problema de salud pública y “epidemia”. Se cuestiona luego si la presentación de la obesidad como responsabilidad personal tiene sentido, al indagar si el peso corporal se halla bajo control voluntario. Se concluye que ello no es así, tras revisar la eficacia de las dietas, los presupuestos del modelo biomédico dominante de la obesidad, y los efectos de las determinantes sociales en su distribución. Se concluye que ser delgada o gorda no es cuestión ni de elección ni de responsabilidades personales, y que el aumento en los pesos de las poblaciones se entiende mejor como efecto de una oferta alimentaria de alta densidad energética, preferida por los grupos sociales más vulnerables por su menor costo. Se cierra señalando que el modelo dominante de la obesidad y su caracterización como ‘epidemia’ no ha hecho nada por la salud pública, y han servido solo para generar pánico moral e instigar prejuicios y discriminación hacia las personas gordas.
El Sistema de Gestión de Calidad y su relación con la innovación
Authors: Reyes Chacón David A. , Cadena López Aydé , Rivera González Gibrán
Published: December 2021

Para algunos autores, el Sistema de Gestión de Calidad (SGC) promueve la creatividad, adaptación, nuevos procesos o productos y el descubrimiento de nuevos mercados o clientes. Aunque, también hay quienes aseguran que el SGC solo genera pequeñas mejoras, satisface necesidades momentáneas o incrementa la burocracia. Dicha discusión se ha intensificado ante la relevancia cobrada por las certificaciones basadas en la Norma ISO 9001, documento donde se establecen las cláusulas que definen qué es un SGC. Con base en ello, el objetivo del trabajo es hacer una revisión de literatura para identificar los indicadores establecidos en las cláusulas de dicha norma y analizar los argumentos que los expertos ofrecen sobre ellos. Para la obtención de la literatura se utilizó la técnica snowball y, posteriormente, se realizó una revisión documental cualitativa. Los hallazgos consisten en la identificación de ciertos elementos y una serie de argumentos que permiten pensar en una relación potencial entre el SGC y la innovación. Aquello implica considerar una nueva agenda de investigación que profundice el estudio de los elementos encontrados, y que permita comprobar con investigaciones empíricas las relaciones propuestas en este trabajo.

Authors: Chihu Amparán Aquiles
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los debates presidenciales en México 2018. A través de los mensajes de campaña: debates, discursos, spots políticos, los candidatos no solo presentan sus propuestas de gobierno, sino que además construyen sus identidades. Se propone el modelo de los frames de la comunicación para el análisis de este proceso de construcción de identidades. Seconcluye que las estrategias de comunicación de campaña se encuentran determinadas por el lugar que ocupan los candidatos en las encuestas de preferencia electoral. En las campañas presidenciales en México, existen tres candidatos: punteros, retadores y rezagados. Mientras que los punteros mantienen una estrategia de no confrontación, los retadores y rezagados sostienen una campaña negativa de ataque en contra del puntero.

El papel de los sistemas tributarios y bancarios en la adopción de las TIC: un enfoque teórico
Authors: Becerril-Velasco Christian Iván
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una revisión teórica del papel de los sistemas tributarios y bancarios en la adopción de las TIC como parte de un estudio de investigación más amplio cuyo objetivo es analizar empíricamente ese papel en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMEs) en la parte norte de México. El marco analítico utilizado sugiere que el surgimiento de innovaciones tecnológicas de la magnitud de las TIC hace que sea esencial contar con sistemas fiscales y bancarios efectivos para aprovechar al máximo la nueva tecnología y así facilitar su adopción. Concluimos que se necesita más investigación para exponer las restricciones institucionales que impiden la construcción de sistemas tributarios y bancarios efectivos en relación con las TIC, especialmente en los países en desarrollo, donde la influencia de las élites internacionales y nacionales es superior.
Efectos potenciales de los cambios en el T-MEC respecto al TLCAN sobre la economía mexicana
Authors: Ruiz Nápoles Pablo , Tovar Rosa Gómez
Published: December 2021

Desde el inicio de su gobierno en 2017, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, expre-só su desagrado con el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN). Según señala-ba, el TLCAN había sido injusto para la economía estadounidense. En consecuencia, su gobierno inició un proceso de renegociación del tratado en la segunda mitad de ese año. Las intenciones del gobierno de Estados Unidos en la renegociación fueron muy claras y obtuvieron en el Trata-do México-Estados Unidos-Canadá (T-MEC) lo que buscaban. En este estudio se analizan estos cambios y los resultados del TLCAN supuestamente favorables para México, que se dicen fueron perjudiciales a Estados Unidos. No está claro que este país logre reducir con estos cambios el déficit comercial con México, ni que las empresas estadounidenses establecidas en México va-yan a cumplir cabalmente las nuevas reglas del T-MEC sin buscar alternativas.
Instrumentos de Evaluación de las Influencias Socioculturales en la Interiorización de Ideales Corporales en Población Hispana
Authors: Vázquez Arévalo Rosalia
Published: December 2021

El interés por la imagen corporal tiene cerca de cien años, ya en 1920, Mead (como se citó en Cash y Pruzinsky, 2002), mencionaba que ésta podría definirse como la “habilidad del cerebro para detectar peso, limitar forma y tamaño e incorporar éstos dentro de los esquemas mentales “(pág. 3). Dicho interés por la imagen corporal se acentuó en la década de 1970 cuando se observó que la interiorización de un modelo corporal predominante puede estar asociado a psicopatologías como la anorexia y bulimia nerviosas en las mujeres. En el caso de los varones la preocupación generalizada por el cuerpo o cierto tipo de figura es más reciente, hace 20 años aproximadamente; no obstante, también tiene consecuencias graves en algunos casos, como el desarrollo del trastorno dismórfico corporal.Bajo el concepto de influencias socio-culturales se estudia una serie de factores culturales  y sociales que han promovido y validado valores estéticos como la delgadez para mujeres y la musculatura para varones, por lo que es importante la construcción de medidas o instrumentos que valoren este constructo, por ello, el objetivo de esta investigación fue describir y analizar la utilización de los dos cuestionarios más conocidos en la literatura que tienen como finalidad medir las influencias culturales en la asimilación de los modelos estéticos; el CIMEC y el SATAQ.
Amplification and Attenuation of Acoustic Phonons in Graphenelike Silicene
Authors: Suresha Kasala
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Because of unique physical properties, graphene, a 2D honeycomb arrangement of carbon atoms, has attracted tremendous attention. Silicene, the graphene equivalent for silicon, could follow this trend, opening new perspectives for applications, especially due to its compatibility with Si-based electronics. Silicene has been theoretically predicted as a buckled honeycomb arrangement of Si atoms and having an electronic dispersion resembling that of relativistic Dirac fermions. We calculate theoretically in this article, the amplification and attenuation of acoustic phonons due to an external temperature gradient in Silicene at temperature ࢀ= 77K in the hypersound regime. The dependence of normalized amplification or attenuation on the frequency wasnumerically evaluated. It is observed from our calculations that when the temperature gradient is zero, absorption of acoustic phonons occurs and when temperature gradient is greater than zero, absorption switches to amplification of acoustic phonons. Keywords: Silicene, Amplification, Attenuation, Acoustic phonons, Temperature gradient.
Review of Literature on Self-Excited Induction Generators and Controllers
Authors: Reddy S. Radha Krishna
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Wind energy is one of the most important and promising sources of renewable energy all over the world. Throughout the globe, in the last, three- or four-decades generation of electricity from wind energy has created a wide interest. At the same time, there has been a rapid development of wind energy-related technology. The control and estimation of wind energy conversion systems constitute a vast subject and are more complex than those of dc drives. Induction generators are widely preferable in wind farms because of their brushless construction, robustness, low maintenance requirements, and self-protection against short circuits. Low cost, robustness, and ease of maintenance are attractive features of induction generators. With wind turbine and micro/mini-hydro generators as an alternative energy source, the induction generators are being considered as an alternative choice to well-developed synchronous generators because of their simplicity, ruggedness, little maintenance, price, brushless (in squirrel cage construction), absence of separate dc source, self-protection against severe overloads and short circuits. In isolated systems, squirrel cage induction generators with capacitor excitation, known as self-excited induction generators (SEIGs), are very popular. This paper presents a review of literature related to the present status of research work on self-excited induction generators (SEIG), their terminal voltage control strategies, and over the past years discussing the classification of induction generators, steady-state and transient analysis, voltage control aspects, and parallel operation of SEIG.
Film Aceh dalam Perspektif Etika Komunikasi Islam
Authors: Zuhri Al , Putra Heri Rahmatsyah
Published: December 2021

The goal of this study was to look at the use of ethics in Aceh's cinema, namely, as an area of Islamic law. Qualitative content analysis with an explanatory approach was employed as the strategy. Meanwhile, documentation were employed to obtain data. The study's focus is on audiovisual items of Aceh movie video compact disc, "Zainab Section 2". The study's findings suggest that the movie "Zainab Section 2" failed to convey themes that are consistent with Islamic communication principles. Even if there are, they are in the minority. There is a lot of lameness in Islamic communication ethics, according to the author. Furthermore, this film lacks a specific personality that distinguishes it from works outside the region, has gotten little government attention, and does not prioritize the presentation of educational and da'wah aspects. As a result, the presence of a particular movie censorship institution in Aceh is extremely vital for the future orientation of Acehnese cinema, given that, in addition to being able to have positive effects, films may undeniably have detrimental impacts on the audience. And good cooperation is needed from various parties, be it the government, universities, media crews, artists, and elements of society. So, it is hoped that in the end, the enforcement of Islamic law in Aceh can immediately touch the movie aspect.

Published: December 2021

Intercultural communication will occur if there is communication between each other who has different backgrounds. When someone has a different culture and background, it is possible that the barriers to communication will increase. Likewise, what was experienced by Pattani students who were studying at the Raden Intan State Islamic University Lampung, when there was communication with local students who had various cultures, of course, they encountered many obstacles. Communicators who are involved in the interaction certainly want effective communication between each other. Therefore, Pattani students are required to be able to adapt and acculturate the existing culture to reduce uncertainty. Qualitative descriptive is the type of research used in this scientific work. Based on the data seen in the field, a common thread can be drawn, that Pattani (Thailand) students have 2 ways of interacting, namely: verbal and nonverbal communication.

Online Learning in the Era of COVID-19: Computer Anxiety and Mental Health Among College Students
Authors: Salimi Nahal , Gere Bryan
Published: December 2021

The recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has brought significant changes to higher education. In response to the pandemic, many colleges, and universities around the world, especially in developed countries, are embracing online or distance education. Transitioning to online learning that involves the use of information technology such as the internet and digital platform for course delivery has increased dramatically (World Economic Forum, 2020). However, these sudden changes have left some to speculate that the shift to online learning will change students’ level of anxiety, stress, which could result in poor academic performance and low achievement of learning objectives. The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study is to investigate undergraduate and graduate students’ perceptions of their mental health and computer anxiety in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentages and averages were calculated. Also, a one-way ANOVA was used for analyzing the collected data. Results indicate that general mental health was significantly correlated with computer anxiety. The results also indicate that computer anxiety and perceived stress predicted poor general health. Demographic factors, such as sex, and academic discipline were significant predictors of computer anxiety, but age was not a significant predictor of computer anxiety. Also, the results show that chronic physical disabilities are a significant predictor of computer anxiety, and overall mental health, however, the presence of learning disabilities was not a significant predictor of computer anxiety. Implications and considerations for future research are discussed.

Norm bounds for the inverse for generalized Nekrasov matrices in point-wise and block case
Authors: Nedovic M.
Published: December 2021

Lower-semi-Nekrasov matrices represent a generalization of Nekrasov matrices.
For the inverse of lower-semi-Nekrasov matrices, a max-norm bound is
proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate that new norm bound can
give tighter results compared to already known bounds when applied to
Nekrasov matrices. Also, we presented new max-norm bounds for the inverse of
lower-semi-Nekrasov matrices in the block case. We considered two types of
block generalizations and illustrated the results with numerical examples.

Nonlinear maps preserving the mixed product [A ● B,C]* on von Neumann algebras
Authors: Li Changjing , Zhao Yuanyuan , Zhao Fangfang
Published: December 2021

Let A and B be two von Neumann algebras. For A,B ? A, define by [A,B]* = AB-BA* and A ? B = AB + BA* the new products of A and B. Suppose that a
bijective map ? : A ? B satisfies ?([A ? B,C]*) = [?(A)? ?(B),?(C)]* for
all A,B,C ? A. In this paper, it is proved that if A and B be two von
Neumann algebras with no central abelian projections, then the map ?(I)? is
a sum of a linear *-isomorphism and a conjugate linear +-isomorphism, where
?(I) is a self-adjoint central element in B with ?(I)2 = I. If A and B are
two factor von Neumann algebras, then ? is a linear *-isomorphism, or a
conjugate linear *-isomorphism, or the negative of a linear *-isomorphism,
or the negative of a conjugate linear *-isomorphism.

Antun Fabris and Rista Odavic: Betwen friendship and cooperation
Authors: Bozic Sofija
Published: December 2021

The paper encloses five letters from the editor of the ?Dubrovnik? newspaper,
Antun Fabris, to his friend and associate Rista Odavic. The letters cover
the period from 1895 to 1897. They contribute to a more precise
reconstruction of their author?s biography, supplementing previous knowledge
about the history of Serbian periodicals as well as the history of Serbs in
Dubrovnik and their efforts to confirm their identity in that city and
prevent the already started process of drowning their Roman Catholic
component in the Croatian corps. The letters are stored in the State
Archives of Serbia in Belgrade, in the legacy of Rista Odavic.
The inventory of Michael Meyer’s property (1758) as a reflection of a Tallinn (Reval) merchant’s material world during the Age of the Enlightenment
Authors: Pullat Raimo , Liibek Tõnis
Published: December 2021

The inventory of Tallinn merchant Michael Meyer’s (1704–1758) property is one of the largest inventories of an 18th century citizen of Tallinn. Almost the entire world of his possessions is reflected in this unique source. The inventory provides a comprehensive picture of his success, lifestyle, and hobbies, and the diverse list of household items provides a good idea of a prosperous merchant’s home in northeast Europe in the 18th century. The unique body of sources (Michael Meyer’s will, property inventory, and auction reports) provides comprehensive insight into the development of Tallinn’s material culture, i.e., the material culture history of Northern Europe, during the century of Enlightenment.
Reminiscencje sztuki nowożytnej w nagrobkach z XIX wieku z pełnoplastyczną figurą śpiącego niemowlęcia na Powązkach w Warszawie
Authors: Gawęcka Barbara
Published: December 2021

Tematem artykułu są klasycystyczne nagrobki cokołowe z pełnoplastyczną figurą leżącego dziecka. Na Powązkach znajduje się pięć tego typu obiektów z XIX w.: nagrobek Aleksandra Rzempołuskiego, Stefanii Wolskiej, Gabriela Józefa Komorowskiego, Romualda Krassowskiego i Wiktora Zeydlera. Na ich podstawie można prześledzić ciągłość w stosowaniu typu formalnego postaci nagiego, śpiącego dziecka w sztuce sepulkralnej. W dziełach antycznych poprzez symbolikę elementów umieszczanych w pobliżu postaci wskazywano, że śmierć jest jedynie snem. Na nagrobkach nowożytnych ukazywano różne symbole vanitas, które miały przypominać o nietrwałości ludzkiej egzystencji. W nagrobkach klasycystycznych, wśród zestawu przedmiotów trzymanych przez dziecko, był także krzyż jako znak zmartwychwstania — życia wiecznego.
SOCIAL CULTURE AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF KAMPUNG KOTA: A CASE STUDY IN BANDUNG INDONESIA
Authors: Ramdani Sari Ana
Published: December 2021

Kampung Kota has been associated with slums due to its substandard living condition despite having different characteristics to slums. To improve the quality of life of Kampung Kota community; it is important to actively involve the community itself to transform Kampung Kota to better direction and to exercise the democracy within urban development. The research aims to understand in what ways the community has been involved, how the community perceived their involvement, how the community wish to be involved and in what ways community participation could be improved in transforming Mekarjaya and maximizing its social capital. The research was conducted using qualitative methodology and case study strategy. Interviews, observation and documentary evidences are used to collect the data and to validate the date by cross-checking every information using triangulation technique. The research finds that the community has not been actively involved in many programs and projects due to the nature of the government programs that support the funding. However, most of the people; whose voice are generally represented by the head of RT/RW (Community unit/neighbourhood unit); are far more eager and willingly contribute to the development if they have the platform to do so.

CURRENT ISSUES OF FORMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN CHERKASY REGION
Authors: Herman Iryna
Published: December 2021

Peculiarities of formation of program tasks of tourism development in Cherkasy region are investigated. The analysis of indicators for compiling and determining the results of the implementation of tourism development programs in Ukraine for a number of years is carried out. The main directions of tourism development in current business conditions are highlighted. The topical issues of formation and implementation of the program of tourism development in Cherkasy region are determined taking into account the influence of a complex of factors, in particular those of economic, ecological, social character.

It is substantiated that in the basis of formation of program tasks for the purpose of assistance to the development of tourism in Cherkasy region it is necessary to consider strategic plans of development both of Ukraine as a whole, its regions, and features and priorities of separate administrative-territorial communities.

Emphasis is placed on the need to develop appropriate identifiers and indicators to characterize individual general indicators of tourism development in the respective territories, cluster units and to form a single base of potential and actual subject-object units of the tourism segment of the region's economy.

To this end, the article proposes a model for the formation of criteria for assessing the objectivity of the formation of strategic regional objectives in the field of tourism and the results of program tasks in the tourism segment of the region's economy.

The analysis of methodology of the formation of program tasks at the state level and criteria of taking into account obligatory indicators of an estimation of their performance on the basis of the achievement of corresponding qualitative and quantitative indicators both at the all-Ukrainian, and at regional level is carried out.

Proposals are made to improve the procedure taking into account the interests of local governments, administrative-territorial communities and professional public associations in the direction of improving adaptive program indicators for tourism development.
DEA METHOD AS A TOOL FOR COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICIENCY OF NATIONAL ECONOMIES
Authors: Zagoruiko Ivan , Petkova Lesia
Published: December 2021

The paper deals with the theory of comparative analysis of the efficiency of national economies using the nonparametric method of data envelopment analysis (DEA).

The main works on the use of data envelopment analysis are studied. In order to develop the ideas of F. Caselli, W. J. Coleman II., J. Growiec it is proposed to take into account that the goal of producers in modern economy is not only to increase technical efficiency, which is expressed in reducing stock and labor intensity, but also to increase economic (in a narrow sense) efficiency that is reduction of the real prices of the used production factors. The subject of the research is an adequate representation of the interdependence of these "competing" goals in the theory of the efficiency frontiers. In the study, all efficiency frontiers were constructed in a purely nonparametric way reflecting a single period (in a standard form – a year). The goal is to solve the problem of incompleteness of a purely technological approach to the world efficiency frontiers that is to supplement the classical DEA model in a way to make it possible to build the boundaries of technical and economic efficiency using both methods – the envelopments of the actual states (points) of the countries and the envelopments of their national functions of the product distribution and its price. In accordance with the content of the proposed model of Paired Efficiency Frontier Model (PEF model), the geometric method is chosen as the main method for studying and interpreting the results obtained. Therefore, it is proven that it is possible to display a frontier using the envelopment method of functions distribution (straight lines) in one coordinate system as an envelopmentl of actual states (points) in an alternative system. This, in turn, significantly simplifies the range estimation to these borders.

In the course of the research, the following goals are set: to determine the algebraic forms of linear programming problems that adequately represent the frontiers of technical and economic efficiency; to outline the main points of view regarding the construction of a global technological frontier and to justify the feasibility of complementing it with a global economic frontier.

The proposed model contains four efficiency frontiers – technological and economic frontiers constructed using the envelopment method of the actual states, and similar frontiers representing the envelopments of the functions of the product distribution and its price. In accordance with the content of the proposed model, the geometric method is chosen as the main method for studying the frontiers of efficiency and interpreting the results obtained. Hence, it is possible to display a frontier using the envelopment method of functions distribution (straight lines) in one coordinate system as an envelopmentl of actual states (points) in an alternative system.
