La producción de tarjetas postales de J. Lacoste
Authors: Díaz Francés Maite
Published: July 2024

En febrero de 1900, Joseph Jean Marie Lacoste Borde adquirió tanto el negocio como la prestigiosa colección de vistas de ciudades, monumentos, costumbres y obras de arte de la antigua Casa Laurent. Con esta acción, José Lacoste no sólo se convirtió en el continuador de un gran archivo, sino también en el renovador de la producción comercial de la antigua firma. Todo ello lo hizo a través de la apuesta por un formato de moda: la tarjeta postal, tanto en su versión en fototipia como en fotografía. A través de una revisión bibliográfica y documental, el principal objetivo de este estudio es trazar un panorama general de la producción de tarjetas postales creadas, producidas y editadas por José Lacoste entre 1900 y 1914, con el objetivo de conocer cómo fue la evolución de la producción, cuál fue el modus operandi de Lacoste, de qué manera afectó y se reflejaron los cambios de la firma comercial en las tarjetas postales y hasta qué punto influyó en la elección de las temáticas partir de la prestigiosa producción de la Casa Laurent. Ahondar en todos estos aspectos han permitido establecer cronologías, descubrir nuevas producciones y ediciones y conocer nuevas facetas de José Lacoste como fotógrafo, editor y productor. En definitiva, observar cómo una pequeña estrategia comercial, como es la introducción de un nuevo formato, pudo no sólo renovar y consolidar en el mercado fotográfico a Lacoste, sino también devolver el esplendor y prolongar en la memoria la obra de la Casa Laurent.
Los archivos de los señores de Villafranca, marqueses de Las Navas y condes del Risco en tierras de Ávila
Authors: Sánchez González Antonio
Published: July 2024

Una rama de la familia Dávila, conquistadores y pobladores de la ciudad de Ávila, forjó desde mediados del siglo XIII un importante territorio señorial en estas tierras castellanas, en torno al lugar de Villafranca de Corneja (o de la Sierra), completado después con otros estados cercanos como el condado del Risco (1475) y el marquesado de Las Navas (1533). En consonancia con el ascenso social adquirido progresivamente por quienes inicialmente fueron regidores de la ciudad de Ávila y alcaides de su fortaleza, la familia generó un Archivo familiar, aún no del todo conocido en su conjunto, parcelado en tres fondos conservados en sedes distintas (Villafranca, Ávila y Las Navas del Marqués), si bien en el siglo XVII la mayor parte de la documentación radicaba en el último de estos emplazamientos. Y cuando los señores de Villafranca-Las Navas entroncaron con otras casas nobiliarias peninsulares --principalmente los duques de Santisteban, primero, y los de Medinaceli, después--, el Archivo patrimonial de los Dávila pasó a Madrid para incorporarse a estas unidades archivísticas superiores, motivo por el que hoy forma parte del Archivo Ducal del Medinaceli, donde los fondos documentales quedaron reorganizados y descritos bajo los criterios que han llegado hasta nuestros días, aquí puestos de manifiesto por primera vez.

Introduction : The incidence of ectopic kidney in autopsy series is around 1 in 900 otherwise it is 1 in 3000. There are various treatment modalities that can be utilised to treat these renal calculi e.g., extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, laproscopy assisted per-cutaneous nephrolithotomy, retrograde intra-renal surgery using the flexible ureteroscope, laproscopic/robotic pyelolithotomy and open surgery. We here describe a case of RIRS for stone in the pelvis of ectopic left kidney located on the right side just below the right kidney, it was crossed but not fused. To the best of our knowledge, this is first such case to be reported in crossed non-fused ectopic kidney. Case Report : A 33 years young male came with complaints of intermittent pain right loin for 2-3 months, mild initially but severe for last 24 hours. Physical examination suggested mild tenderness right iliac fossa. Ultrasonography and intravenous pyelography suggested ectopic left kidney located on right side below the right kidney in the right iliac fossa and not fused or attached to the right kidney with a large 21mm pelvic calculus with mild hydronephrosis. He later underwent retrograde intra-renal surgery where stone was completely lased and double J stent was kept at the end of the procedure. Results : Complete stone clearance was confirmed visually and under c-arm. Post operative USG and x-ray KUB showed no residual calculus. Patient was discharged on second postop day. There were no post-op complications. The double J stent was removed after two weeks. Conclusion : RIRS is a very good option to treat stones in an ectopic kidney. It may require more than one session sometimes, but considering the minimal invasive nature, the bothersome is less. Disposable ureteroscopes have further revolutionised the armamentarium of the urologist, who can now offer a personalised treatment plan for each patient. Keywords : RIRS, ectopic kidney, crossed ectopic non-fused kidney, stone in ectopic kidney, minimal invasive laser surgery

Throughout its history, medicine and healthcare philosophy have paid special attention to already-diseased individuals, focusing on clinically manifested diseases (nosology) instead of one’s health or so-called pre-illness conditions. The latter are left in the shade, while the former have been overlooked. This is a fact based on evidence. Therefore, clinical efficacy, chronicity, disability rates, and human longevity need to be drastically improved in the near future. While analyzing and preselecting the basic determinants of health

Published: July 2024

Global changes in modern Ukraine are destroying the usual way of life, but also opening up new opportunities. Assessing this potential and calculating the ways of its realization in advance is an extremely important task. The purpose of this paper was to study the social and economic development of Ukraine. The study analysed such indicators as the volume of foreign investment, the composition of the general fund of the state budget, and the financing of the defence sector before and after a full-scale invasion. Also, by synthesizing individual news reports, a generalized picture of the current situation at the front was formed. The work identified such challenges as a forced decline in maritime exports by 55% in 2022 (in 2024, Ukraine increased trade through seaports to 75% of the pre-war level); energy shortages, which reached 38% at the time; a 40% drop in harvest volumes; forced migration of 6.5 million Ukrainians from the country, etc. However, for each of the challenges, ways to overcome them and methods to turn them into additional opportunities were developed. In particular, these include diversification of logistics routes, increasing the value of human capital, developing alternative energy sources and moving closer to sustainable development goals. A separate proposal was made to create a global educational hub in Ukraine, where Ukrainian military and medical professionals with practical experience in combat and tactical medicine could train foreign colleagues. In addition, in order to increase the motivation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) to return to their homeland, it is proposed to develop an appropriate communication strategy. The practical significance of the study lies in the development of specific proposals for the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, which should be of interest to the leadership of the departments of the Ministry of Community Development, Territories, and Infrastructure of Ukraine

Authors: I. Mafiana , O. F. Ebiaghan
Published: July 2024

The study investigated the effect of sustainability disclosure on the performance of publicly listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria using ex-post facto research design. A sample of twenty (20) publicly listed manufacturing companies was obtained and secondary data were computed from the annual reports and accounts of the companies from 2013-2022. Data obtained were analyzed by means of descriptive, post-estimation and inferential statistics. Findings of the multivariate regression result revealed that financial performance (return on assets and return on equity) are not significantly affected by the level of sustainability disclosure. Based on the findings, it was recommended that management of publicly listed manufacturing companies should gear efforts toward enhancing disclosure on sustainability (in particular, index of sustainability reporting); this may further strengthen their financial performance level. In addition, management of publicly listed manufacturing companies should determine measures of sustainability disclosure affecting performance the most and focus more on them; this study contributes to knowledge by filling the gap in the literature on the relationship between sustainability disclosure and financial performance of listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

Authors: Pardo Escalera Edwin Jesús , Fuentes Cruz Astrid Dzoara , Mendoza Torres José Cruz
Published: July 2024

Introducción. El liquen amiloide es el subtipo más común de amiloidosis cutánea y se caracteriza por la presencia de pápulas y placas asociadas con prurito, localizadas en pantorrillas, cara anterior de muslos e, infrecuentemente, en antebrazos. La colangitis biliar primaria es una enfermedad autoinmune del hígado caracterizada por una colangitis linfocítica destructiva y la presencia de anticuerpos específicos antimitocondriales, que condicionan lesión biliar, colestasis y fibrosis hepática progresiva.
Presentación de caso. Paciente masculino de 39 años con fototipo IV, que acudió a valoración por presentar en una ocasión vómito borraceo y un episodio de evacuación melénica de escasa cantidad. Durante la exploración física, se destacó la presencia de pápulas hipercrómicas diseminadas. Se identificó un patrón colestásico con hiperbilirrubinemia a expensas de bilirrubina directa, elevación de la gamma glutamil transferasa, elevación de la fosfatasa alcalina, con enzimas hepáticas en valores normales; además, no se identificó serología positiva para hepatitis A, B y C. Los anticuerpos antimitocondriales fueron positivos por inmunofluorescencia (1:320). Se tomó una biopsia de piel en la que se observó la presencia de hiperqueratosis laminar en estrato córneo y epidermis con acantosis moderada irregular, engrosamiento de procesos interpapilares e hiperpigmentación de la capa basal.
Discusión. La asociación entre amiloidosis cutánea primaria localizada y colangitis biliar primaria se ha documentado en pocas ocasiones.

Conclusiones. En nuestra población, el nivel de plaquetas menor a 275.000/ mm3, la presencia de fiebre y el antecedente patológico de diabetes fueron factores de riesgo para colecistitis aguda gangrenosa.
A Matrix Universe as the Origin of Inertia and Momentum and Translocation as a Chemical Reaction
Authors: Hansen John Norman
Published: July 2024

It is proposed that there is a matrix structure of the universe that persists both in the presence and absence of physical objects, and that chemical reactions involve reorganization of electronic orbitals within this matrix structure. The mechanism by which objects translocate within this matrix is similar to the chemical reaction mechanism, and therefore requires moving objects to cross transition-state energy barriers. This involves an input of energy, which is the origin of inertia and momentum. The matrix concept is used to derive equations of motion that conform to Newton’s laws and include terms for inertia and momentum.
ECONOMIC GROWTH, RENEWABLE ENERGY, AND INFLATION: INTERCONNECTIONS OF A TRIANGLE
Authors: Yavuz Serdar , Okur Fatih
Published: July 2024

The primary objective of any nation's economy is to achieve economic stability and a high standard of living. This can be attained through sustainable economic growth. However, global economic competition often brings about challenges, one of which is the increasing demand for energy products driven by population growth. Historically, this demand has been predominantly met by fossil fuels, but due to resource depletion and environmental concerns, there has been a growing interest in alternative energy sources. This shift towards renewable energy has become a global trend. The energy sector serves as a key indicator of a nation's prosperity and development, with renewable energy production, transportation, and costs being vital metrics of development. For Turkey, like many developing nations, investing in renewable energy is crucial for sustainable growth. This study explores the relationship between renewable energy, economic growth, and inflation in Turkey from 1975 to 2022. It examines the process of economic growth in the first part, followed by an analysis of energy dynamics and inflation in subsequent sections. The study employs unit root tests such as ADF and PP, along with the Toda-Yamamoto causality test, using available data. The final results are then interpreted.

Örgüt çalışmalarında ele alınan diğer kavramlara göre, dini kavramlar daha az detaylı bir şekilde incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda, kurumsal mantıkların din mantığına özel bir önem atfettiği gözlemlenmektedir. Bu araştırma, dini mantığın makro düzeyde şekillenmesine yönelik olarak Türkiye’de laiklik ilkesi çerçevesinde Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı'nı inceleyecektir. Tarihsel veriler incelendiğinde, devlet ve din kavramlarının bazen bir arada bulunduğu, bazen de rekabet ettiği gözlemlenmektedir. Kimi zaman devletin bir dini anlayışı olması gerektiği savunulmuş, kimi zaman da devletin dinlere karşı objektif bir duruş sergilemesi gerektiği ifade edilmiştir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde laiklik ilkesi çerçevesinde resmî dini işlerin idaresi, bu araştırmanın temel sorunsalını oluşturmaktadır. Türkiye’de İslamiyet’in temsilcisi olarak anılan ve İslami hizmetler noktasında mutlak resmî kurum olarak bilinen Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı, meclis tutanakları üzerinden değerlendirilecek olup kurumsal mantıklar lensleriyle incelenecektir. Araştırmada, Roger Friedland'ın kurumsal mantıklar sosyolojisi çerçevesinde, Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı’nın laiklik ilkesi altında nasıl gelişim gösterdiği ve yıllar boyunca nasıl bir arada var olabildikleri incelenecektir. Araştırmanın amacı, söz konusu kavramlar arasındaki dinamiklerin detaylı bir analizini sunmaktır.

Reflections on my PhD journey: Five years in the wilderness
Authors: Mesuwini Dr Joseph
Published: July 2024

Embarking on a doctoral journey is a daunting endeavour, filled with academic challenges and personal growth. PhD students experience many roles that require managing many skills, identities, responsibilities and challenges. This paper reflects on a five-year wandering PhD odyssey marked by supervision challenges, a change of supervisor, and the crucial role of university postgraduate support. The journey was pursued in consecutive registration cycles (2017-2022). The paper adopted a diaristic approach to document and examine PhD experiences at a South African university in KwaZulu-Natal province. The qualitative research gathered data from the author’s experience through the journey. I reflect on my PhD journey as a case study. A documentary research method was used to gather data. Experiences were recounted as diarised research. Interpretive systematic review was used to show existing research. The study was rooted in the transformational learning theory. Research showed that academic challenges could be turned into learning opportunities for career development, networking and collaboration, personal growth, resulting in meaningful research contributions. The lessons learnt, challenges overcome, and contributions made during the journey lay the foundation for future academics to focus on academic excellence during their academic wilderness. The new supervisors offered expertise, mentorship, and a renewed sense of purpose, emphasising the importance of collaborative and supportive supervisor-student relationships. The unavailability of resources, workshops, seminars, writing retreats, and peer networks were setbacks in my journey, which could have helped navigate the academic landscape, maintain mental well-being, and regain the momentum to complete the PhD. Insights gained are shared.
FAMILY and FAMILY BUSINESS INTERSECTIONS, FAILURE MODES, and RECOMMENDATIONS
Authors: Donaldson William
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the intersections between family dynamics and family businesses. This intersection is inevitable but not always fully understood by owners, family members, and consultants who provide services to family businesses. Both constructs, the family unit, and the family business meet the definition of a complex, adaptive, socio-technical (CAST) system, so we will explore systems theory as it applies to these two dynamic constructs. Years of consulting with family businesses lead to a review of specific failure modes, issues, and recommendations for avoiding or managing the same.
Supply Chain and Open Innovation: the undeniable relationship Conceptions from a literature review
Authors: Dorrego Juan Ignacio , Lazzarotti Valentina , Collazzo Pablo
Published: July 2024

The consolidation of Open Innovation (OI) as necessary approach to understand the ability of firms to innovate has demanded more sustained efforts to unfold the continuous connection with other relevant actors across its systems of production (Arabshahi et al., 2014; Chesbrough, 2006; JimenezJimenez et al., 2019). Central to this is the emphasis on a pursuit of knowledge and collaboration from components of the supply chain (SC) (Miyamoto, 2020). Despite the undeniable relationship between these two terms, authors have pointed out that not enough research has occurred (Ardito et al., 2020; Jimenez-Jimenez et al., 2019; R. A. E. Shamah & Elssawabi, 2015; Smith & Blundel, 2012). Therefore, this paper is intended to contribute to the research gap by examining on how the concepts of SC and OI are related in the current state-of-the-art. To accomplish it, a systematic literature review (SLR) is conducted.
No need for heroes: How can psychologists lead well?
Authors: Taylor Lynne
Published: July 2024

‘Even in ordinary times people can make their leader a hero - and sometimes a scapegoat…’ (Hulks, 2020).

In 2020 the clapping began, and our internal view of our personal and working worlds changed forever. As a psychologist and senior leader managing clinical services during the pandemic, it was evident that many health and social care leaders had a collective strong drive to help, protect others, and lead well. However, what was more humbling and inspiring was the compassion, dedication, care, and self-sacrifice staff displayed, in the face of real risk and unrelenting challenges. In all that collective sense of trauma and uncertainty it was not surprising that society looked for heroes.

Stock Price Prediction with Traditional Statistics and Machine Learning
Authors: Xu Zheng
Published: July 2024

Stock forecasting is a very difficult and challenging task. There are so many subjective factors that are difficult to quantify and it is almost impossible to take all of them into consideration. The stock market changes so fast that forecasting models need to have forecast results in a relatively short period of time. For ordinary investors, it is necessary to predict relatively accurate results with less data. This paper compares the traditional statistical model with the machine learning forecasting models, linear regression, Backpropagation neural networks, time series ARIMA and LSTM. After predicting and comparing the four stocks with significantly different changes, it is found that the models with better prediction effects are different in different situations. In view of the fact that the neural network method requires a larger amount of data as a training set and needs to be retrained each time, so linear regression may be more suitable for ordinary investors.

Authors: Li Qianyu
Published: July 2024

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is one of the key topics of current research. Since the BRI was put forward in 2013, the number of research projects and achievements of the BRI has increased, the quality of research has improved, and the depth and breadth of research has increased. However, most of the research focus on macro studies, such as conceptual interpretation of the BRI, and less on micro studies, especially country studies, such as the study of the BRI in Hungary, where there is still a research gap. Therefore, the paper adopts the method of case analysis and data comparison to explore the new developments of China-Hungary exchange and cooperation by collecting data on the economic, cultural and policy achievements of China and Hungary nowadays. It also further examines the significance of the BRI and proposes several suggestions for its further high-quality development. The paper finds that there are many achievements in the construction of BRI. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, China-Hungary economic and trade cooperation has still maintained a growing trend, cultural and educational exchanges have been continuously deepened, and both governments have adopted positive policies and attitudes. The Belt and Road Initiative has had a profound impact on China, Hungary, and the world. For further high-quality development, it is recommended to focus on the digital economy, the green economy, and the construction of pivot cities.
The Influence of Force Majeure of Non-government Factors on People's Willingness to Insurance in China
Authors: Chen Yuxuan
Published: July 2024

Except for investors, people usually regard insurance as a tool to transfer unknown risks. We believe that insurance can minimise financial losses when a risk occurs and reduce people's fears when disaster strikes. Therefore, some scholars put forward the hypothesis that people's willingness to buy insurance is related to some force majeure. From the perspective of behavioral finance, this paper selects indicators such as the rate of return of insurance stocks and insurance search index as proxy variables for insurance willingness. It also selects natural disasters and epidemics as proxy variables for force majeure other than government actions (referred to as force majeure in the text). Regression analysis was carried out on the above variables, and it was concluded that force majeure other than government actions was positively correlated with people's willingness to purchase insurance.
