The Wisdom of Bacchus: Emblematic, Iconographic and Literary Allusions in the Hermitage Painting by P. P. Rubens
Authors:   State Institute for Art Studies, Demidova Maria A.
Published: May 2024

The painting “Bacchus” by Peter Paul Rubens (State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg) has frequently attracted the attention of both local and foreign researchers. In this article, we question the interpretation of the painting as a simple allegory of the autumn grape harvest and the celebration of production of young wine. Bacchanalian subjects since Antiquity have been loaded with additional meanings associated with regeneration and creative potentials. The latter aspect was picked up and developed by Renaissance artists. Rubens followed often that tradition. L. D. Davis saw in the Hermitage painting a metaphor of the creative method of the Flemish painter, who trusted intuitive impulses more than rigid rules. We share partially this point of view, but we propose to consider the named work in a broader sense than that scholar did. It seems to us that Rubens presented in “Bacchus” his allegorical self-portrait, emphasizing his love of life and his philosophical emancipation. Thus, the Flemish artist expressed his opposition to moralizing and short-sighted opinions in contemporary culture and his desire to return to the breadth of the Renaissance vision. As a consequence, the allusions contained in his painting to “The Andrians” by Titian, some emblems by Andrea Alciato, as well as the new Rubens interpretation of Comus, an ancient character, which John Milton used in his didactic mask a few years before the creation of Hermitage work, — don’t seem accidental. The portly Bacchus in the painting is presented as the lord of earthly diversity and boundless abundance, at the same time he is a wise mentor-judge, indicating how to properly handle all this wealth open to human race. The concept of the boon as the right disposal of freedom and desires, reflected in iconographic system of the Hermitage painting, fits with the ideas of Plato’s dialogue “Feast”.
Grigor Khanjyan’s Triptych as a Visualization of the Commemoration in the Context of the Armenian Ethnogenetic Myth

The article is devoted to the visualization of three key events in the history of Armenia in the work of the artist Grigor Khanjyan: the invention of the Armenian alphabet by Mesrop Mashtots, the Vardanid War for independence. To achieve ideological and aesthetic goals, the artist turned to the monumental genre. The final result was a triptych, now stored in the heart of Yerevan, in the architectural and monumental Cascade complex, in the Gerard Gafeschyan Art Center, in the hall named after the artist. The frescoes are united by cumulation and intentional atemporality of the characters. Another characteristic feature of the triptych is that Khanjyan turned to academic classicism to implement the idea. As an artistic technique, the master uses achrony, shifting the time frame for different characters, but at the same time, remaining faithful to the plot and the entourage of the depicted events. The central part of the triptych resembles a temporary dromos, separating and simultaneously connecting the first and third khorans, epochal events that changed the paradigm of the Armenian nation’s existence. Through the time portal, the Armenian ethnic group flows from the early Middle Ages to our days. A cross-cutting idea is the ideal of the social structure of the Armenian nation, which has gained sovereignty, sought by Khanjyan. The artist models the Golden Age according to the type of social structure of the early Middle Ages, extrapolating the medieval paradigm to the present and tomorrow. The ukhronia of the Reborn Armenia created by the artist is a projection of early medieval Armenia. Among the researchers who conducted an art criticism analysis of this work of Khanjyan, it is perhaps worth highlighting the names of such researchers as N. Stepanyan, N. Eyramjians, V. Gamagelyan, etc., whose works we refer to in our study. This article is intended to partially fill this obvious gap. The scientific novelty of the study lies in its interdisciplinary approach, due to the fact that one of the co–authors is a historian and the other is an art critic. This allowed the authors to conduct a diverse analysis using historical, cultural, semiotic, anthropological, ethnographic and, of course, art criticism approaches.

Published: May 2024

The development of new materials and technologies that can efficiently store
energy while delivering power quickly has been the subject of numerous investigations.
In an electrochemical supercapacitor (E-SC), the electric charge is stored in a doublelayer formed at the electrode/electrolyte interface (EEI), which is based on the surface
area as well as pore size availability. The high surface area provided by the micropores
(pore diameter: 2 nm) is essential for charging the E-SCs and calculating the
capacitance values. Mesopores (2 nm < pore diameter < 50 nm) allow good electrolyte
penetration and offer a high-power density (2 nm pore diameter 50 nm). However,
because a lot of non-carbonaceous materials are used to make E-SC electrodes, more
in-situ analytical characterisation tools along with electrochemical techniques are
needed. It is crucial to have at least a brief understanding of the electrochemical
processes occurring at the EEI of E-SC electrodes (or devices). Variations in
electrochemical, morphological and surface, and crystallographic properties will be
used to categorise the data gathered by the state-of-the-art characterisation techniques.
This chapter also provides a resource for researchers by outlining the methods to learn
more about E-SCs and opportunities to achieve additional functionalities beyond those
related to energy storage.

Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitates a significant response from the construction industry. The increasing recognition of the virus's transmission has demanded the enhancement of quality in multiple domains. The primary responsibility of Facilities Management (FM) is to guarantee the operational effectiveness, comfort, security, environmental friendliness, and productivity of the constructed surroundings. This paper seeks to examine the lessons learned from measures implemented by FM organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research employs a quantitative methodology approach. The questionnaires were disseminated to 317 FM firms in Selangor with a response rate of 36%. The results found that most facilities managers had an ample understanding of FM organisation management throughout the pandemic. It is of utmost importance to comprehensively ascertain the lessons learned in FM during the COVID-19 pandemic and proactively equip and strategize themselves to handle future pandemics and disruptions by cultivating the capacity and resilience to respond to environmental shocks. The implementation of the plan is of utmost importance as it serves as a guiding principle for future actions. The endeavour and the knowledge gained from past pandemics have shaped an industry proposition for a fair and impartial approach to addressing future pandemics in Malaysia.

Published: May 2024

The study aims to empirically examine the effect of job satisfaction, work environment, and compensation on employee performance with motivation as a moderating variable with a study on Centro Production. The population is employees who work at Centro Production. The sample in this study was 62 respondents. This research uses quantitative analysis and techniques for sampling, namely using saturated sampling techniques (census). Data collection methods through questionnaires, observation and data analysis using SPSS 25 which includes validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, multiple regression analysis, hypothesis testing using the t test, f test and R2 test and moderation test.The results showed that the independent variables of job satisfaction, work environment and motivation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance partially or stimulant. The moderation variable of motivation shows that motivation is able to moderate employee performance, but motivation cannot moderate the effect of work environment and compensation on employee performance. The coefficient of determination of 51% indicates the ability of the independent variable to predict only 51%, there are still 49% explained by variables outside the model. But through the coefficient of determination after moderated regression analysis the calculation results are 97%. So it can be concluded that after the moderation variable, the motivation variable can strengthen the influence of job satisfaction, work environment and compensation variables on employee performance.

Methods, Indicators, and End-User Involvement in the Evaluation of Digital Health Interventions for the Public: Scoping Review
Authors: Weirauch Vera , Soehnchen Clarissa , Burmann Anja , Meister Sven
Published: May 2024

Background

Digital health interventions (DHIs) have the potential to enable public end users, such as citizens and patients, to manage and improve their health. Although the number of available DHIs is increasing, examples of successfully established DHIs in public health systems are limited. To counteract the nonuse of DHIs, they should be comprehensively evaluated while integrating end users. Unfortunately, there is a wide variability and heterogeneity according to the approaches of evaluation, which creates a methodological challenge.

Objective

This scoping review aims to provide an overview of the current established processes for evaluating DHIs, including methods, indicators, and end-user involvement. The review is not limited to a specific medical field or type of DHI but offers a holistic overview.

Methods

This scoping review was conducted following the JBI methodology for scoping reviews based on the framework by Arksey & O’Malley and complies with the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Three scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct) were searched in April 2023. English and German studies between 2008 and 2023 were considered when evaluating DHIs that explicitly address public end users. The process of study selection was carried out by several researchers to avoid reviewer bias.

Results

The search strategy identified 9618 publications, of which 160 were included. Among these included articles, 200 evaluations were derived and analyzed. The results showed that there is neither a consensus on the methods to evaluate DHIs nor a commonly agreed definition or usage of the evaluated indicators, which results in a broad variety of evaluation practices. This aligns with observations of the existing literature. It was found that there is a lack of references to existing frameworks for the evaluation of DHIs. The majority of the included studies referred to user-centered approaches and involved end users in the evaluation process. As assistance for people developing and evaluating DHIs and as a basis for thinking about appropriate ways to evaluate DHIs, a results matrix was created where the findings were combined per DHI cluster. Additionally, general recommendations for the evaluators of DHIs were formulated.

Conclusions

The findings of this scoping review offer a holistic overview of the variety and heterogeneity according to the approaches of evaluation of DHIs for public end users. Evaluators of these DHIs should be encouraged to reference established frameworks or measurements for justification. This would ease the transferability of the results among similar evaluation studies within the digital health sector, thereby enhancing the coherence and comparability of research in this area.

Abstract: We have acquired knowledge through articles and papers on the use of machine learning to anticipate student placement. In our understanding of the education field, it is evident that placement holds importance, for both students and educational institutions. For students it can provide insights into their likelihood of securing placements enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their career paths. Although we are still in the development phase and continuously gaining insights into this matter, we are confident in our potential as a tool, in creating an accurate, reliable and fair student placement prediction portal. Using machine learning we can analyze data related to student performance placement outcomes and other factors. This analysis helps us identify patterns that can inform predictions, about placement success. To gain insights we employ logic techniques to uncover patterns and trends, within large datasets of student information. This valuable knowledge is then utilized in the development of models. Moreover, we used web development technologies to create a user portal where students can conveniently input their data and receive placement predictions.To analyze this data and predict student placement accurately implementing a machine learning algorithm within the portal is necessary. In my understanding of the education field, it is evident that placement holds importance, for both students and educational institutions.For students it can provide insights into their likelihood of securing placements enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their career paths. Ensuring the security of student data is of importance for the portal

Algorithms for computing the optimal Gersgorin-type localizations
Authors: Milicevic S. , Kostic V.R.
Published: May 2024

In this paper we provide novel algorithms for computing the minimal
Gersgorin set for the localizations of eigenvalues. Two strategies for
curve tracing are considered: predictor-corrector and triangular grid
approximation. We combine these two strategies with two characterizations
(explicit and implicit) of the Minimal Gersgorin set to obtain four new
numerical algorithms. We show that these algorithms significantly decrease
computational complexity, especially for matrices of large size, and compare
them on matrices that arise in practically important eigenvalue problems.

Authors: Abdullah Hamad Anas
Published: May 2024

The aim of this research was to shed light on isolation and identification of bacterial species from patients with different genders and age groups and determined the antimicrobial effects of various new plant-based extracts and antibiotics on the isolates. Disk diffusion assay was used to determine the susceptibility of bacterial isolates towards several antibiotics. The Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) for all extracts were conducted against every isolated species of bacteria in 96-well microtiter plates. The findings of this study and according to the VITIK2 data, among the 180 swaps and samples collected from patients, only 92 cases (51.11%) showed a positive bacterial culture which distributed as follows; 41 (44.56%) isolates matched with Staphylococcus aureus, 20 (21.73%) isolates matched with Escherichia coli, 14 isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa represent (15.21%), 11 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae which gave (11.95%) and only 6 isolates were correspond to Staphylococcus haemolyticus at (6.52%). The antibiotics findings of this study indicated variable resistance profiles for most of the isolates against the antibiotics used, however all isolates exhibited great sensitivity to the meropenem. Furthermore, testing findings for plant extracts revealed that MBC values ranged from 1.95 to 500 µg/mL, while MIC for 17 examined extracts ranged from 0.97 to 250 µg/mL. As a positive control, meropenem's MIC against all isolated species ranged from 3.9 µg/mL to 62.5 µg/mL, whereas its MBCs varied from 7.8 to 125 µg/mL. In light of this, this study is the first to demonstrate the effectiveness of novel plant extracts against virulent bacterial strains isolated from urine, burn, and wound infections. According to the outcomes of this study, the evaluated plant extracts are more effective in combating bacteria than the antibiotics that are used in the treatment regimen.

Ageism in the Workplace – Selected Research Results in SMEs from the Poznań Poviat
Authors: Gajowiak Małgorzata
Published: May 2024

Research background

In recent years a demographic crisis has been observed and the inverted age pyramid is hard proof of that. Due to that one can notice a need for a prolongation of the economic activity of older people. However, it is not an easy task in the case of ageism.

Purpose

The main aim of the article is to find out whether employees in SME from the Poznań poviat experience acts of discrimination due to age.

Research methodology

The article is based on a survey carried out using the CATI and PAPI methods. The research sample consisted of fifty SMEs from the Poznań poviat in the Greater Poland voivodeship.

Results

It can be indicated that older workers in most SMEs (54%) experienced acts of age discrimination, mostly in the form of disregard. However, stereotypes and discriminatory actions have not been considered as the most important barrier to effective cooperation between the older and younger generations. Only 18% of enterprises have thus far implemented the anti-discrimination policy.

Novelty

The originality of the work is in examining whether SMEs take into account the needs of older employees by adapting working conditions to them, especially in the sociological and psychological spheres. Activities aimed at combating stereotypes should be a priority among company managers. The answers to the research questions clearly justify the need for extensive education about old age and aging, as well as the preparation of the elderly for retirement.

Authors: Ugwu Ephraim , Ehinomen Christopher
Published: May 2024

Research background

Understanding the rationale for macroeconomic policy coordination with the aim of achieving greater policy credibility and effectiveness in West Africa still remains the subject of debate.

Purpose

This study evaluates the effect of macroeconomic policy coordination on economic growth uncertainty in West Africa, utilizing a panel data set of the 15 member states from 1980 to 2020.

Research methodology

The study employed Pedroni’s cointegration test procedure and the Generalized Linear Model, fixed effect procedure for evaluation.

Results

The stationarity test results show that the variables are stationary at first difference at the 5% significant level, for the common and individual effect tests respectively. The cross section dependence test result indicates that there exists a cross-sectional independence for the variables under consideration. Pedroni’s cointegration test results indicate that there exists a long run relationship between economic growth uncertainty and macroeconomic policy variables. The fixed effect model result shows that monetary policy variable, inflation (INF) affect growth uncertainty negatively. The fiscal policy variable, government debts (DEBTS) indicates a positive sign to growth uncertainty and is significant statistically. The coefficient of the regional trade variable, (TRADE) and exchange rate indicate positive signs and are insignificant statistically.

Novelty

It is important to ascertain how uncertainty affect policy coordination gains. Thus this study has utilized the econometric models approach to evaluate the effect of policy decisions as economies encounter exogenous policy shocks in the face of uncertainty, in order to ascertain if coordination is preferred to individual policy decisions.

The balance of debt and capital in an organization or business is mainly represented by the capital structure. The objective of this research endeavour is to analyse the correlation between capital structure and various factors that impact Indonesian firms operating in the telecommunications subsector, including asset structure, firm size, sales growth, business risk, and free cash flow. Quantitative techniques were used for this study. Purposive sampling was utilized to choose 15 organizations with 75 observation units, and secondary data was gathered from the financial records of those 15 businesses operating in the telecommunications subsector between 2017 and 2021. The data was examined through multiple linear regression analysis. The findings of this study indicate that sales growth does not affect capital structure. Conversely, asset structure exhibits a negative impact on capital structure, while firm size, business risk, and free cash flow have positive effects on capital structure. These findings indicate the significance of comprehending the factors that impact capital structure and the pertinent theories. This understanding can offer valuable insights to companies, helping them make informed decisions and avoid irrational choices that may impact the company or external stakeholders, such as investors.

Purpose: Extracurricular activities are those that are conducted apart from the mandatory syllabus in the educational organizations. These include sports, organisations, voluntary community service, literary activities, music, the arts, and dramatisation etc. This study was conducted with the aim of exploring the constructive influence of participation in extracurricular activities on the social values and behaviour of students pursuing different professional undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
 
Method: A descriptive analysis was conducted in which a mail-in questionnaire was distributed to 525 students via a simple random sampling technique. Using SPSS software and relevant statistical procedures, the acquired data was analysed to assess the research hypotheses. SEM data, one-way ANOVA, and T-test reports were used to document the outcomes of the analysis.
 
Results: The results of the research supported improved social values and positive behavioural changes among the students who opted for extracurricular activities.
 
Implications: The major implication of this research lies with the students, higher education institutes, and parents to understand the importance of extracurricular activities in generating individuals with excellent leadership qualities, greater societal concern, and strong ethical values, who are well disciplined, self-dependent, and also know time management.
 
Originality/Value: In view of contemporary reports, this study examines how participation in extracurricular activities positively affects the social values and behavioural change of students pursuing professional higher education programmes. It may help the higher educational institutes improve their educational curricula by incorporating more extracurricular activities in order to produce better citizens with a disciplined attitude.
The impact of digital platform pricing algorithms on market equilibrium
Authors: KOLESNIK Georgii V.
Published: May 2024

Subject. The article discusses the penetration of platform technologies into markets, which results in changes in their structure and the nature of competition between participants, and leads to a redistribution of total wealth between producers and consumers of goods. Moreover, traditional market models can give incorrect estimates of equilibrium parameters, since they do not consider the specifics of pricing mechanisms used by platforms.
Objectives. The study aims to assess redistribution of wealth caused by a change in the pricing mechanism from the classical market to the algorithmic one, using the Nash solution, determine the conditions under which the use of this mechanism can lead to an increase in the well-being of market participants.
Methods. I apply methods of systems analysis, mathematical modeling, the theory of imperfect competition, and the game theory.
Results. The study shows that, depending on the structure of the market, determined by the ratio of the number of sellers and buyers, net social losses in algorithmic pricing can be both higher and lower, compared to market equilibrium. With a small number of sellers, the use of algorithmic pricing leads to lower product prices and an increase in public welfare. However, with an increase in the number of sellers, this advantage disappears and the algorithmic mechanism leads to prices close to market equilibrium in an oligopolistic market.
Conclusions. The use of digital platforms turns out to be expedient from the point of view of reducing net social losses in markets characterized by a high degree of monopolization. In this case, the mediation of the digital platform restricts the price limit, preventing manufacturers from setting a monopoly price for their products. In markets with a large number of sellers and buyers, the effects of algorithmic pricing are less pronounced. However, in this case, the efficiency of the market is increased by reducing the transaction costs of searching for information about potential counterparties.
