The article updates the issue of ensuring the competitiveness of regional labor markets of Ukraine in conditions of critical instability caused by the consequences of the full-scale war. The aim of the study is to substantiate the priorities and tools for strengthening the competitiveness of regional labor markets in Ukraine as a mechanism for confronting security challenges. It was noted that the war became a systemic challenge not only to the functioning, but also to the preservation of the civilized labor market. It has been proven that, in the current situation, the State administration and local self-government bodies should activate, first of all, the economic tools of regulation in order to preserve the key structural characteristics of the labor market, existing jobs and opportunities for employment, self-employment, available human and, in particular, labor-resource capital, but also rational use of potentially new opportunities. At this, the main focus should be on preserving the human potential of the country and its regions against the background of high migration activity of the population. Four key directions of the regional policy of strengthening the competitiveness of the regional labor markets of Ukraine have been identified: 1) structural; 2) normative and legal; 3) infrastructural; 4) security. It is shown that from the point of view of subjects of regulation, regional policy should be oriented towards overcoming the main challenges, risks and threats to the functioning of the labor market and their impact on the regional economy. From this position, the entire range of economic levers and means of management is contrasted with the factors and consequences of: 1) the full-scale war; 2) post-war reconstruction of national and regional economies; 3) the preservation of systemic problems and obstacles to the functioning of the labor market; 4) the development of its structural asymmetries, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the specifics and impact of migration processes on the regional socioeconomic system. It is decided that this method is characterized by timeliness and systematicity, adaptability to the existential challenges of the existence of Ukraine, its integrity and security.

Authors:   State University of Information and Communication Technology, Kapeliusha Tetiana V.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the issue of security, which is currently in sight as the most demanded and necessary need for the functioning of economic entities, the population, and the world. The etymology of the concepts of «risk» and «threat» is analyzed, arguments on the need for a clear distinction between these categories are provided. It is noted that risk is the probability of occurrence of an event and does not always lead to negative consequences. The threat is the result of the realization of the risk, the degree of its impact on the results of activities is significant, and sometimes destructive, which can lead to significant losses on the part of the enterprise. Definitions of the concepts of security and danger, which correlate and are a reflection of each other, are provided. It is emphasized that security and danger are opposite in their meanings, since security consists in the absence of danger, in addition, the enterprise is secure when it is really protected from dangers. It is found that both concepts are states, while security is characterized by development, and danger is characterized by decline and stagnation. It is proposed to consider security and danger in the formed plane to eliminate the confusion of the concepts of risks and threats. The areas of display of the state of security (danger) under the influence of risks and threats are allocated, their graphical representation is provided. The reflection of the difference between the impact of risks and threats, their action in the form of the results of changes in the signs of security with the formation of prerequisites for danger is presented. It is proposed to consider the features of enterprise through the following results of activity: ability to develop, competitiveness, sustainability, solvency, profitability and profitability, interests of stakeholders. The plane of security along the vector of movement of risks and threats depending on the strength of their action is outlined. In this way, the state of security varies, starting from the traditional absolutely sustainable; followed by sustainable and conditionally sustainable – up to the states that will be destructive. The key features of the security status are defined by reflecting the difference in the impact of risks and threats. The importance of the obtained results of the study, in particular the differentiation of risks and threats, for the formation of the security plane of the enterprise and the choice of effective approaches to security management depending on the location of the enterprise in a specific plane is proved.

Published: May 2024

A structural and system analysis of the state and development of the economic system of Ukraine in wartime conditions is carried out and a set of economic measures to counter the negative manifestations of the full-scale invasion of the territory of Ukraine by russia is proposed. The authors systematize the most significant and growing threats in the economic sphere under conditions of uncertainty: demographic crisis, deformed age structure of the population with a high proportion of elderly people; high number of migrants; extremely high dependence on external financial assistance; irregular flow of foreign aid and a decrease in its volume with a simultaneous increase in defense spending; structural imbalances in GDP. The authors note that forecasts for GDP growth will not lead to an increase in the quality of life of Ukrainians and their purchasing power. The authors emphasize that, given the unpredictability of the duration of hostilities, unpredictable financial and material losses, a colossal deficit of the State Budget of Ukraine, a decrease in the stability of the economic system, and further inflow of external financial assistance are the main sources of funding for the military and social spheres. The main directions of reconstruction of the economic system of Ukraine to achieve the highest possible level of economic and financial self-sufficiency of the national economy are proposed; increasing the level of resilience and development of domestic enterprises in the conditions of military conflicts; prioritizing military spending; return of migrants to their homeland; sustainable growth of labor productivity of specialists in all sectors of the economy. This is especially important for the agro-industrial complex – through the development of industrial parks, technology parks, innovation parks, ecological agroparks, clusters, etc. Also, in order to generate additional sustainable income for socially vulnerable segments of the population, it is important to develop social entrepreneurship and the «silver economy» in territorial communities.

The aim of the article is to substantiate the essence and financial instruments for the development of cross-border cooperation in the context of Ukraine’s European integration. It is proposed to consider cross-border cooperation as joint, coordinated actions aimed at convergence, synergy, multiplicative effect in solving problems by subjects and participants of cross-border cooperation through the implementation of programs and projects using traditional and new financial instruments. It is specified that cross-border cooperation has three main goals. First, it contributes to the economic and social development of border areas, which can lead to the growth in terms of new enterprises and industries. Secondly, it addresses common challenges related to the environment, public health, safety and security and aims to create better conditions for the mobility of people, goods and capital across borders. Ukraine’s position on future membership in the EU and the possibility of participation in cross-border cooperation programs is substantiated, for which structural funds for 2021–2027 are allocated from the EU through the European Regional Development Fund and the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument. The thematic priorities of funding for the new program period are as follows: a sustainable, green border region; a healthy and attractive border region; joint border region. The possibilities of using IPA, the latest instrument of assistance at the stage of preparation for accession to the EU, which is aimed at supporting reforms through the provision of financial and technical assistance, are substantiated. It can be used by both existing and potential candidates for the EU membership. The author’s own calculations showed that out of the total volume of the operating budget for 2021-2027 under the assistance of the IPA III instrument in the pre-accession phase of the EU, the largest amount of funding will be directed to the the goal that is a «green» agenda, sustainable connectivity (transport and communication links); the thematic objective «Competitiveness and Inclusive Growth»; good governance, alignment with the EU acquis criterion, good neighbourly relations and strategic communication; the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy; territorial and cross-border cooperation. Further research will be aimed at developing the conceptual foundations and strategic directions for the development of cross-border cooperation.

Authors: El Harrath Abdenbi
Published: May 2024

This article provides an overview of the relationship between Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and how CALL practices can be informed and supported by SLA theories. To illustrate how CALL research has drawn on SLA research, a theoretical discussion of CALL theory and approaches and their underpinning principles in SLA is crucial. Research has proven the effectiveness of educational technologies in language learning. Therefore, it has become mandatory that the effectiveness of educational technologies should be blended with SLA insights about language and language learning to create theoretically and pedagogically sound CALL projects. Moreover, research in CALL, as a relatively new field, should make use of approaches and methods used in SLA research to investigate the questions of interest.

CAR-T cells are in standard clinical use to treat relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Owing to the rapidly progressing field of CAR-T cell therapy and the lack of generally accepted treatment guidelines, we hypothesized significant differences between European centers in prevention, diagnosis and management of short- and long-term complications.
To capture the current CAR-T cell management among EBMT centers and to determine the medical need and specific areas for future clinical research the EBMT Transplant Complications Working Party performed a survey among 227 EBMT CAR-T cell centers.
We received complete servey answers from 106 centers (47%) addressing questions in the areas of product selection, CAR-T cell logistics, management of cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome as well as management in later phases including prolonged cytopenias. We identified common patterns in complication management, but also significant variety in clinical management of the centers in important aspects.
Our results demonstrate a high medical need for treatment harmonization and future clinical research in the following areas: treatment of steroid-refractory and very severe CRS/neurotoxicity, treatment of cytopenia, early discharge and outpatient management, as well as immunoglobulin substitution.

While there is clear evidence to suggest poorer outcome associated with multi-hit (MH) TP53 mutation compared to single-hit (SH) in lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), data are conflicting in both higher-risk MDS and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We conducted an indepth analysis utilizing data from 10 US academic institutions to study differences in molecular characteristics and outcomes of SH (n= 139) versus MH (n= 243) TP53MTAML. Complex cytogenetics (CG) were more common in MH compared to SH TP53MT AML (p <0.001); whereas ASXL1 (p= <0.001), RAS (p<0.001), splicing factor (p= 0.003), IDH1/2 (p= 0.001), FLT3 ITD (p= <0.001) and NPM1 (p= 0.005) mutations significantly clustered with SH TP53MT AML. Survival after excluding patients who received best supportive care alone was dismal but not significantly different between SH and MH (event free survival [EFS]: 3.0 vs 2.20 months, p= 0.22/ overall survival [OS]: 8.50 vs 7.53 months, respectively, p= 0.13). In multivariable analysis, IDH1 mutation and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) as a time-dependent covariate were associated with superior EFS (HR; 0.44, 95% CI: 0.19-1.01, p= 0.05/ HR; 0.34, 95% CI: 0.18-0.62, p<0.001) and OS (HR; 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.71, p= 0.01/ HR; 0.28, 95% CI: 0.16-0.47, p<0.001). While complex CG (HR; 1.56, 95% CI: 1.01-2.40, p= 0.04) retained unfavorable significance for OS. Our analysis suggests that unlike in MDS, multihit TP53MT is less relevant in independently predicting outcomes in patients with AML.

Sekülerleşme Tartışmaları Açısından Alevi-Sünni Evlilikleri
Authors: Küçük Tahir
Published: May 2024

Günümüz dünyasında dinin toplumsal yaşamda nasıl bir etkiye sahip olduğu, din sosyolojisi çalışmaları açısından önemli bir noktaya işaret etmektedir. 20. Yüzyılın ikinci yarısıyla birlikte başlayan sekülerleşme tartışmaları, birçok ülkede dinin modern toplumlarda etkisinin azaldığı daha sonra ise dinin psikolojik boyutunun ön plana çıkarılmasıyla bu paradigmanın eleştirilmeye başlandığı bir süreç içerisine girmiştir. Bu çerçeve içerisinde ülkemizde de sekülerleşme tartışmaları başlamıştır. Özellikle 2000’li yılları takiben Türk toplumunun politik yönelimleri, Türkiye’nin desekülerleştiğine yönelik genel bir söylemi ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu genel görüşün aksine Türkiye’nin geçmişe kıyasla gün geçtikçe sekülerleştiğini, “dinin ve dinimsi yapıların toplumsal prestijlerinin ve bu yapıların topluma etki etme güçlerinin göreceli olarak azaldığını” belirten Volkan Ertit, bu iddiasını çeşitli argümanlarla ortaya koymaktadır. Söz konusu bu argümanlardan bir tanesi de “farklı inanç grupları arasındaki evliliklerde yaşanan değişimdir.” Ertit’e göre Alevi-Sünni evliliklerinin geçmişe kıyasla daha fazla veya daha görünür olması, Türk toplumunun geçmişe kıyasla sekülerleştiğini gösteren bir argümandır. Bu çalışma Ertit’in bu iddiasından hareketle, Alevi-Sünni evliliklerinin gerçekten de bir sekülerleşme göstergesi olarak algılanıp algılanamayacağını konu edinmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada öncelikle sekülerleşme kavramının teorik sınırları doküman incelemesi tekniği ile çizilmiştir. Daha sonra, alan yazındaki Alevi-Sünni evlilikleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalardaki ilgili veriler üzerinden sekülerleşme konusu tartışılmaktadır. Buna göre, sekülerleşme sürecinin Alevi-Sünni evliliklerine kapı aralayan bir etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu tür evlilik yapan bireylerin Alevilik ve Sünnilik kavramlarına yaklaşımlarının kendi ebeveynlerine kıyasla farklılaştığı ve dini grup aidiyet durumlarının düşük seviyede olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca dini pratikleri yerine getirip getirmeme konusunda da bireylerin dini yaşantısının seküler bir çizgide olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Dolayısıyla Ertit’in söz konusu iddiasını destekleyen bir argüman olarak Alevi-Sünni evliliklerinin sekülerleşme göstergesi olarak düşünülmesi, bu çalışma özelinde doğrulanmıştır.
A qualitative study of the machine operator’s experience of wellbeing in the New Zealand logging industry
Authors: Best Trevor , Visser Rien
Published: May 2024

Background: Prompted by the need to reduce exposure to the physical hazards of the logging workplace, more of Aotearoa New Zealand’s loggers now find themselves operating a machine rather than working ‘on the ground’. This change has enabled more production to be achieved with less workers and with a significant reduction in the rate of serious harm incidents. However, mechanisation is not without its risks to operator wellbeing. This study explores the wellbeing of operators and the psychosocial demands and coping adaptations that contributed to that experience.
Methods: Twenty-seven operators were recruited from three regions to participate in a semi-structured interview to explore their experiences of stress and wellbeing. References with consistent meaning were first, coded, and then, using Axial Coding, themes or categories were identified. Defining properties for each of these categories were then used to conceptualise the relationships between the themes.
Results: Stress and wellbeing were described as a specific set of experiences resulting from the adaptations participants made in the face of threats to production, a sense of place within the crew and to family wellbeing. Those adaptations were arranged in two pathways that were dependent on what resources were available to the participants. If left entirely to their own skills and time, the participants would cope with threats by working longer hours. If through the decisions their forest owner / manager and contractor made, they had access to sufficient supply chain capacity, work security and job control supported by an effective organisational culture and interpersonal relationships, they could access the work-life balance that was at the heart of their sense of wellbeing.
Conclusions: This research has provided an inventory of the psychosocial hazards faced by logging machine operators working in Aotearoa and the resources that enable them to cope. In doing so it has suggested that the potential for operator wellbeing is established in the designing of the overall supply chain (skids, roads, logging equipment configuration, and truck capacity) and the contracts that connect the various services, and then achieved through the way logging businesses are led and managed.

Such affective experiences, crossing place and time, are typical of Wicomb’s writing; in particular, the historical connection between Scotland and South Africa produces moments of recognition and affective dislocation. David’s Story, like several other South African novels of its period, uses genealogy to traverse temporal boundaries. This novel also troubles the issue of representation, using the figure of an amanuensis to question the possibility of achieving the truth in a situation of political upheaval as in immediately post-apartheid South Africa.
The (Un)bearable Weight of Gendered Genre: Richard Linklater’s Post- Boyhood Masculinities
Authors: Harrod Mary
Published: May 2024

While masculine identities have been explored recurrently in Linklater’s films, these have come center stage since the release of Boyhood (2014), followed immediately by Everybody Wants Some!! (2016) and Last Flag Flying (2017). While Boyhood has been widely treated as avant-garde and received rapturous praise, the subsequent two films fall squarely into mainstream genre modes and have been afforded a more mixed reception. These divergent reactions tend to collect around accusations of bland nostalgia – in contradistinction to the purported raw authenticity of Boyhood’s perspective – and the related issue of the apparent unapologetic masculinism of the later films. This chapter attempts to unpick the blind spots behind and provide a counterargument to such critiques.

This study explores the influence on urban sustainable development performance of residents’ resettlement as a result of urban renewal activities, aiming to develop a system dynamics model to simulate the performance of urban sustainable development performance at the perspective of urban renewal. The system dynamics model consists of four subsystems, which are urban economic sector, social service sector, demolition and resettlement sector, and industrial development sector. It was used to simulate the sustainable development performance of Guangzhou city. In the seven scenarios simulated, it is found that increasing the ratio of in-site rehousing and off-site rehousing at the same time can help to promote the sustainable development of the city. The results show that the system dynamics model can effectively simulate the impacts of urban renewal on sustainable development performance, and provides a reference for decision makers to formulate urban sustainable development strategies.

In January 2020, the footbridge connecting the seaward platform of the Pont del Petroli pier to Badalona beach collapsed due to the severe sea storm named Gloria. Approximately 15 m of the footbridge fell into the sea as a result of prolonged wave action and strong impacts. To understand the complex interaction between waves and structures that led to the pier’s collapse during the storm, a composite modelling approach was developed. The loads on each pier element were initially evaluated using the meshless DualSPHysics code, which employs the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. This evaluation was conducted under severe wave conditions analogous to those experienced during the storm. Numerical models informed the design of an experimental campaign carried out at the Maritime Engineering Laboratory of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya—BarcelonaTech, using the CIEM large-scale wave flume facility in Barcelona, Spain. Post-storm bathymetric surveys revealed significant alterations in the seabed profile near the affected infrastructure, including sediment deposition and a reduction in water depth from 10 m to 8 m. Consequently, it was anticipated that wave transformation and breaking in the vicinity of the structure would be substantially affected. To explore this phenomenon, various extreme wave impacts were experimentally simulated using focused wave groups. The physical model findings unveiled the forces that the pier endured during the storm Gloria. The results indicate that wave phases influence individual waves, with waves that are biased and asymmetric experiencing higher peaks than those focused on the crest. This insight helps to explain the structural failure of the footbridge during the storm and underscores the importance of considering wave phase impacts in the design and assessment of coastal infrastructure. The combined numerical and experimental approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces at play, contributing valuable knowledge to the field of coastal engineering and infrastructure resilience.
Investigation of piezocone dissipation test interpretation in clay accounting for vertical and horizontal porewater pressure dissipation with a large deformation axisymmetric penetration model
Authors: Moug Diane , Huffman Andrew , DeJong Jason T.
Published: May 2024

The piezocone (CPTu) dissipation test is used to characterize how the applied load from the penetrating cone is distributed between the soil and pore fluid during both penetrometer advancement and when penetration is paused. The coefficient of consolidation is often estimated from CPTu dissipation tests by interpreting the rate of excess porewater pressure (∆u) decay to static conditions during a pause in cone penetration. Most CPTu dissipation test interpretation methods are based on Terzaghi consolidation theory for ∆u dissipation at the cone shoulder (u2 position) or cone face (u1 position) and assume that radial ∆u dissipation dominates the response. However, several recent studies show that vertical ∆u migration does contribute to the response. This study uses a large deformation direct axisymmetric cone penetration model to characterize the soil-water mechanical response during CPTu dissipation tests, and in particular, the role of vertical ∆u dissipation on the response at the u1 and u2 positions. Large deformations around the penetrating cone are accommodated with an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian approach. Soil behavior is modeled with the MIT-S1 constitutive model calibrated for Boston blue clay (BBC) soil behavior. ∆u dissipation following undrained cone penetration is simulated with coupled consolidation for BBC with over-consolidation ratios (OCR) of 1, 2, and 4 and a range of hydraulic conductivity anisotropy. The simulated u1 and u2 dissipation responses are presented to study how they are affected by OCR and hydraulic conductivity anisotropy. A correction factor is recommended to account for hydraulic conductivity anisotropy when interpreting the horizontal coefficient of consolidation from CPTu dissipation tests.
The role of holistic mentoring ecosystems in mitigating COVID-19 pandemic impacts on the persistence of low-income STEM students

Published: May 2024

Holistic mentoring ecosystems are a comprehensive approach to addressing the diverse needs of students through interconnected support networks. While mentoring has been well-documented in existing literature, more research is needed to determine the effectiveness of mentoring ecosystems in mitigating the impact of critical junctures for vulnerable, high-attrition student populations. Guided by Tinto’s model of retention, this qualitative case study investigated the role of holistic mentoring ecosystems in mitigating the impacts of the two combined critical junctures—the COVID-19 pandemic and the first year of college—on low-income STEM undergraduates. Our findings suggest that holistic mentoring ecosystems were essential in helping students adjust to the academic environment and fostering a sense of belonging in the STEM community amid the severe limitations imposed by the pandemic. This study adds to the growing body of literature investigating the approaches and strategies effective in supporting vulnerable student populations through critical junctures in their educational journey.
Etomidate-induced hypokalemia in electronic cigarette users: two case reports and literature review
Authors: Wu Wenchang , Xia Can , Gan Lulu , Liao Shibo , Yan Yimin
Published: May 2024

Hypokalemia is a common clinical condition that can lead to muscle weakness, difficulty breathing, malignant arrhythmias, and even death. This report describes two cases of severe hypokalemia resulting from the use of electronic cigarettes containing etomidate, both accompanied by varying degrees of adrenal hyperplasia. In both cases, the patients were admitted to the hospital with lower limb weakness and difficulty walking. Relevant examinations revealed low blood potassium, low cortisol, high adrenocorticotropic hormone, low renin, and low aldosterone levels in the patients, with Case 2 also having significant hypertension. In both cases, adrenal CT scans showed thickening of the adrenal glands. After the delivery of potassium supplementation in both cases, blood potassium levels gradually returned to normal and muscle strength gradually improved. The case reports are followed by a review of the literature on etomidate and its related mechanisms of action with discussion of its association with hypokalemia.
