What Makes a Text a Magical Realist Work? - A Study Using Family Resemblance and Genre Theory
Authors: V Aishwarya. , K Devimeenakshi.
Published: December 2023

Magical Realism is one of literatures most elusive and debated concepts, as it can be easily confused with other related genres. There is an ongoing debate about whether to label it as a genre or mode of narrative. Magical Realism is an International contemporary genre with its roots in Germany, while it became popularised and pioneered in South America. Over the years, critics have had issues defining the characteristics of Magical Realism as it subtly overlaps with other similar genres like surrealism, fantasy, science fiction, and gothic. Family Resemblance theory explains the overlapping resemblances of almost similar genres using Genre theory. This paper explores the binding relationship between Magical Realism and other genres. Later, they resemble yet differ in detail using their core characteristics. The paper also provides a comparative study on selected genres and studies the concept of genres, their construction, and their evolution. Textual analysis methodology is used in this article to understand the characteristics of magical realism in the novel Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. Further analysis of how the novel differs from the other genres is also studied using textual analysis. Genre theory can be analysed to trace the origin and evolution of a genre throughout the years and how they are arbitrary and are constantly misused by authors.
EXPORT MARKETING AND CORPORATE WEBSITE: THE CASE OF SMEs FROM SERBIA
Authors: Mitić Sanja
Published: December 2023

For small and medium firms the Internet represents an important low-cost gateway to the international markets. The corporate website is one of the prerequisites for developing a successful Internet marketing strategy. The corporate website enables companies to communicate with stakeholders worldwide, present the company's vision and mission, products and services, contact potential buyers, and sell internationally. Although SMEs highly rely on Internet marketing, academic research on exporters' website characteristics is rare. Against such a backdrop, the paper aims to analyse specific characteristics of the websites of small and medium-sized exporters from Serbia. Website content analysis of promotional and transactional website attributes was conducted on a sample of 120 small and medium-sized exporters from Serbia. Promotional website attributes are linked to marketing communication goals, with greater exporters recognition, and value-adding through customer support, interactivity, and personalisation. Transactional content refers to transaction-specific information. Results will enable a better understanding of small and medium firms' web capabilities and how SMEs utilise different website attributes in their export marketing strategy. The main managerial implications and implications for government export promotion strategy will be discussed.

Objetivo: compara os métodos de Processamento de Linguagem Natural e Acoplamento Bibliográfico normalizados via Cosseno de Salton aplicados aos dez artigos mais acessados de 2020 do periódico Scientometrics. Metodologia: Calcula a similaridade entre todos os artigos segundo cinco perspectivas, sendo elas: similaridades entre formas ativas do texto completo, formas ativas dos resumos, palavravas-chaves em comum, acoplamento bibliográfico entre documentos e acoplamento bibliográfico de autores. Ademais, calcula as correlações de Pearson e Spearman, aplica o teste não [S. lparamétrico de Wilcoxon a nível de 5% de significância e representa os valores normalizados em boxplot. Resultados: Constata que as especificidades de cada método influenciam significativamente na obtenção de correlação significativa entre as medidas em que os dois cálculos de acoplamento se correlacionariam de maneira mais forte entre si, assim como dois cálculos baseados no processamento de linguagem natural. Observa que os cálculos de acoplamento, correlacionaram-se de maneira significativo, pois, para cada valor de acoplamento de documentos há necessariamente, ao menos um valor de acoplamento de autores. Com relação aos cálculos baseados no processamento de linguagem natural, verifica forte correlação entre textos completos e resumos, visto que há uma dependência de conteúdo entre ambos. O teste de Wilcoxon, aferiu diferenças significativas entre todos os pares de medidas comparadas. Conclusão: Conclui forte correlação entre textos completos e resumos, e, entre os métodos de acoplamento bibliográfico. Entretanto, guarda distinção significativa entre os valores calculados.

Published: December 2023

The present study aimed to examine collegiate student-athletesˈpreferences of leadership behaviours in strength and conditioning (S&C) coaching and evaluate differences between athletesˈpreferred leadership behaviours based on participantsˈsex. 145 (male = 80, female = 65) National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and II student-athletes aged between 18-25 years, with a mean of 3 (SD = ±1) strength and conditioning sessions per week participated in the study. Participants completed an electronic questionnaire involving the athletesˈ preference version of the Revised Leadership Scale for Strength and Conditioning (RLSSC). Summary statistics revealed that the most preferred behaviour was ˈtraining and instructionˈ, median of 4.5 (IQR = 1.0), and the least preferred was ˈautocraticˈ, median of 2.0 (IQR = 0.5). Similar results were observed for both groups. Males preferred autocratic behaviour more than females (male = 2.5, female = 2.0). Statistically significant difference was identified between groups for autocratic behaviour (p = .001). Effect sizes indicated that the magnitude of differences between groups was small or moderate, with the highest value for autocratic behaviour (d = 0.5). The observation of marginal statistically significant difference aligns with previous research, suggesting sex-related differences. However, small and moderate effect sizes indicate that differences are not practically significant enough to encourage distinct coaching approaches. This study sheds light on the preferences of coaching behaviours among student-athletes in strength and conditioning coaching. The findings emphasise the importance of positive psychosocial behaviours such as training and instruction, positive feedback, situational considerations and social support. While there were slight differences between the sexes, results suggested that both groups valued positive coaching behaviours. These findings provide implications for coaching practice and offer a basis for further research to explore leadership coaching behaviours in strength and conditioning.

Published: December 2023

Although the response has been mixed, many host governments in the region have created large-scale programs granting Venezuelans some form of legal status, permission to work, and access to public education and health care. There is much to be learned from these policies and their outcomes, both for the future in countries where Venezuelans have settled and for other contexts of displacement. The paper begins with a brief explanation of the programs that have allowed Venezuelans in Colombia and Brazil to regularize their status.

Published: December 2023

This study conducted a literature review and a survey of relevant personell and experts to derive effective conservation and management strategies for cultural resources within national parks. The legal, regulatory, and policy conditions have improved in the field of cultural heritage management, with the enactment of the National Cultural Heritage Basic Act leading to the expansion of the management of natural ecology-related resources and non-designated cultural heritage. Other organizations have also established legal concepts related to cultural resources and are enhancing collaborative management efforts, thereby strengthening the execution of cultural resource management. The results of the survey of personell and experts indicate that, overall, enhancing the value and perception of cultural resources within national parks is crucial. Furthermore, improvements are necessary through on-site management and capacity building within the organization itself. In light of this, it is imperative to progress towards establishing an integrated management system that specializes in both cultural resources and the ecology and natural environment within national parks. Based on the findings of this study, it is essential to pursue the establishment of legal and regulatory frameworks to define the scope of cultural resources and progressively secure management authority for the effective management of cultural resources within national parks. In terms of management organizations and personnel, it is essential to establish a professional organizational structure and workforce system that leverages the strengths of on-site management and enhances capabilities. In the context of resource conservation and utilization, we propose the expansion of ecology and cultural exploration content based on stakeholder participation, as well as enhancing awareness of value.

This study was conducted to provide raw data for predicting, preserving, and managing distribution changes due to climate change in the future by investigating the vertical distribution of Abies Koreana in Jirisan National Park. A. Koreana are a major tree species that make up subalpine vegetation in republic of Korea and are particularly sensitive to climate change, so vertical distribution changes can serve as an indicator for these changes. To this end, the vertical distribution status of A. Koreana in major trails in Jirisan National Park was investigated in 2014 and 2021, and the distribution change according to the time series was confirmed. As a result, A. Koreana trees showed a lower distribution limit in the range of 800-890m in the northern part of the main ridge in the valley and 900-1080m in the southern part. In the ridge, the distribution lower limit was shown in the range of 1,220-1,420m in the northern area of the main ridge and 1,030-1,200m in the southern area. This vertical distribution difference was seen as a result of microclimate effects caused by the location environment between the northern and southern regions, starting from the valley, ridge, and main ridge. The vertical distribution change according to the time series has not yet appeared, and generally, A. Koreana trees located on the trail showed a healthy state. Through this study, the vertical distribution of A. Koreana trees in Jirisan National Park was identified, and it is believed that future changes in subalpine conifers due to climate change should be recorded and conservation plans should be prepared.

In order to understand the migration status of Family Hirundinidae in Heuksan-do(Island), Dadohaehaesang National Park, we analyzed daily count record from 2007 to 2022 at three study sites, Jin-ri, Baenanggimi and Ye-ri. As a result, the average FAD of Barn Swallows was 76.00 days (±6.73 days), and the average MAD was 115.67 days (±4.76 days). Barn Swallows showed a tendency for FAD to become faster as the March average temperature increased, but there was no significant difference. MAD became faster as the April average temperature increased, but it was not significant. The average FAD of Red-rumped Swallows was 97.07 days (±9.01 days), and the average MAD was 134.47 days (±9.05 days). The Red-rumped Swallows's FAD tended to arrive earlier as the April average temperature increased, but there was no significant difference. MAD also appeared to arrive earlier as the May average temperature increased, but it was not significant. The FAD of Barn Swallows and Red-rumped Swallows was found to have an average difference of about 21 days, and the MAD between the two species was found to have an average difference of about 19 days.

В статье представлена часть результатов исследований, проведенных в 1994 г. по оценке сейсмической опасности на территории в радиусе 25 км от АЭС. Это та глава, которая связана с разрушительным, так называемым «Цахкадзорским» землетрясением 1827 года, поскольку в настоящее время оспариваются принятые нами характеристики этого землетрясения, в частности, сила землетрясения и положение эпицентра. К сожалению, из-за не опубликованности деталей нашего исследования оппоненты опираются на опубликованную в научной печати неполную и искаженную информацию. Вот почему стала актуальной публикация реальных данных об изучении разрушительного землетрясения 1827 года.
The article presents some of the results of studies conducted in 1994 to assess the seismic hazard on the territory within a radius of 25 km from the Armenian NPP. This is the part that is associated with the destructive, so-called «Tsakhkadzor» earthquake of 1827, since the characteristics of this earthquake that we have accepted, particularly – the strength of the earthquake and the position of the epicenter – are currently being disputed. Unfortunately, because of the unpublished details of our studies, our opponents substantiate their counterarguments on incomplete and distorted information published in the scientific press. That is why this publication of real data on the study of the strong earthquake of 1827 has become relevant.

Enhancing Public Health: Exploring the Awareness of Students in Mindoro State University on Blood Donation
Authors: Masongsong Jovie Rose D
Published: December 2023

Blood donation plays a significant role in modern healthcare, especially because it contributes to charitable tasks and lessens shortages in the global demand for blood. Problems encountered were due to the insufficiency of infrastructure, donor education, and resources which led to challenges in recruiting blood donors. Studies have found that countries handle blood donation systems, but their status varies widely. This research study aims to determine students’ awareness level in Mindoro State University-Calapan City Campus on blood donation. This research study utilized descriptive research design, which aims to systematically gather information and describe a phenomenon or situation through survey questionnaires. Moreover, the 100 respondents were chosen through stratified random sampling and were tasked to answer the self-made questionnaire, which was divided into two parts: the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, and weight and the respondents’ awareness of blood donation through the use of Likert Scale. The study results revealed that the students of the MinSU-Calapan City Campus are aware of the crucial role of blood donations in saving lives and promoting a sense of community and unity in an environment. However, the study presented that the students are not knowledgeable of the process performed in blood donation.

Published: December 2023

Os aços, que são essencialmente ligas a base de ferro e carbono, são materiais muito utilizados nas mais diversas aplicações, desde automóveis até itens de decoração. Os aços com baixo teor de carbono, como o aço SAE 1010, podem ser deformados por vários processos de conformação mecânica, entre eles a laminação, onde a deformação plástica do material ocorre mediante passagem de um corpo sólido entre dois cilindros que giram à mesma velocidade, mas em sentidos contrários. Neste trabalho, barras do aço SAE 1010, com seção transversal quadrada de 9,87 mm de lado, foram laminadas a frio em múltiplos passes, sendo na sequência realizado recozimento em diferentes tempos e temperaturas, em amostras correspondentes a dois graus de deformação. As análises da microestrutura foram realizadas com auxílio de microscopia óptica e a caracterização mecânica foi realizada por meio de medidas de dureza Vickers. Mediante análise dos resultados foi possível obter a curva de encruamento e de amolecimento deste aço e também realizar a avaliação das mudanças microestruturais ocorridas durante o processo de laminação a frio e de recozimento. Os principais resultados mostram que a dureza aumenta com o aumento da deformação imposta e que nas amostras mais deformadas, os grãos do material tornam-se alongados em relação à direção de laminação. Foi constatado que as amostras recozidas apresentaram diferentes frações recristalizadas, quando comparados os dois graus de deformação estudados, havendo regiões em que coexistem grãos recuperados e grãos recristalizados.

Традиційний інститут політичної партії є популярним предметом дослідження в компаративістиці. Від моменту своєї появи і до сьогоднішнього дня цей інститут еволюціонував, набував нових рис і функцій. У сучасних умовах політичні партії переживають певну трансформацію, адаптуючись до сучасних трендів політики, нових управлінських практик в державах. У зв’язку з цим з’являються нові типи цього інституту, відбувається зміна його диспозицій у публічному полі політики, ускладнюються передвиборчі технології, вибудовується нова конструкція взаємодії з громадськістю і державою, оновлюється законодавча база, тому інтерес до цього питання науковців у сфері політичних, юридичних, управлінських наук є об’єктивним і актуальним. Партія як актор публічної політики в процесі своєї інституціоналізації в національних системах трансформувався організаційно (типи партій), нормативно, змінював диспозицію по відношенню до держави і громадянського суспільства, корегував репрезентативний стиль і характер членства, змінював структуру електоральної і партійної конкуренції, ускладнював виборчі технології і партійні канали комунікації, визначав відповідно до типу рівень перерозподілу політичних ресурсів. Набір функцій, які виконують партії постійно змінюється і набуває нових ознак як в усіх без виключення типах систем. Нові функціональні особливості політичних партій змушують дослідників робити нові порівняльні дослідження задля визначення його впливу цього інституту на політичну систему. Сучасні вчені не припиняють порівняльні дослідження, намагаючись диференціювати політичні партії, виокремлювати нові типи і визначати специфіку діяльності партії в політичному середовищі.

Anti-thymocyte globulin for treatment of T-cell-mediated allograft rejection
Authors: Acharya Sumit , Lama Suraj , Kanigicherla Durga Anil
Published: December 2023

Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is a pivotal immunosuppressive therapy utilized in the management of T-cell-mediated rejection and steroid-resistant rejection among renal transplant recipients. Commercially available as Thymoglobulin (rabbit-derived, Sanofi, United States), ATG-Fresenius S (rabbit-derived), and ATGAM (equine-derived, Pfizer, United States), these formulations share a common mechanism of action centered on their interaction with cell surface markers of immune cells, imparting immunosuppressive effects. Although the prevailing mechanism predominantly involves T-cell depletion via the complement-mediated pathway, alternate mechanisms have been elucidated. Optimal dosing and treatment duration of ATG have exhibited variance across randomised trials and clinical reports, rendering the establishment of standardized guidelines a challenge. The spectrum of risks associated with ATG administration spans from transient adverse effects such as fever, chills, and skin rash in the acute phase to long-term concerns related to immunosuppression, including susceptibility to infections and malignancies. This comprehensive review aims to provide a thorough exploration of the current understanding of ATG, encompassing its mechanism of action, clinical utility in the treatment of acute renal graft rejections, specifically steroid-resistant cases, efficacy in rejection episode reversal, and a synthesis of findings from different eras of maintenance immunosuppression. Additionally, it delves into the adverse effects associated with ATG therapy and its impact on long-term graft function. Furthermore, the review underscores the existing gaps in evidence, particularly in the context of the Banff classification of rejections, and highlights the challenges faced by clinicians when navigating the available literature to strike the optimal balance between the risks and benefits of ATG utilization in renal transplantation.

Published: December 2023

Limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) causes severe vision impairment and can lead to blindness, representing one of the most challenging ocular surface disorders. Stem cell deficiency can be congenital or, more often, acquired. The categorization of ocular surface transplantation techniques is crucial to achieving treatment homogeneity and quality of care, according to the anatomic source of the tissue being transplanted, genetic source, autologous or allogenic transplantation (to reflect histocompatibility in the latter group), and cell culture and tissue engineering techniques. The aim of this minireview is to provide a summary of the management of LSCD, from clinical characteristics and therapeutic outcomes to the development of novel therapeutic approaches. The manuscript also briefly summarizes recent findings in the current literature and outlines the future challenges to overcome in the management of the major types of ocular surface failure.
Pathophysiology of acute graft-versus-host disease from the perspective of hemodynamics determined by dielectric analysis
Authors: Nagasawa Masayuki
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Numerous reports have demonstrated that the pathophysiology of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is closely related to vascular endothelial disorders and coagulation abnormalities. We previously presented the discovery of a principle and the development of a novel instrument for measuring whole blood coagulation. This was achieved by assessing the variations in the dielectric properties of whole blood.

AIM

To investigate how GVHD affects the changes of dielectric properties of whole blood in patients with HSCT.

METHODS

We examined the changes of dielectric properties of whole blood and erythrocyte proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis sequentially in patients with HSCT and compared it with clinical symptoms and inflammatory parameters of GVHD.

RESULTS

During severe GVHD, the dielectric relaxation strength markedly increased and expression of band3 decreased. The dielectric relaxation strength normalized with the improvement of GVHD. In vitro analysis confirmed that the increase of relaxation strength was associated with severe erythrocyte aggregates, but not with decreased expression of band3.

CONCLUSION

Severe erythrocyte aggregates observed in GVHD may cause coagulation abnormalities and circulatory failure, which, together with the irreversible erythrocyte dysfunction we recently reported, could lead to organ failure.

Sondan eklemeli dillerden olan Türkçede bir kelime, bazen kök olarak -ünlü olmak kaydıyla- tek sese kadar indirgenebilmektedir. Yapılan incelemelerle birlikte bazı yapım eklerinin köke karışması sebebiyle kök sayılan birçok kelimenin, aslında kök olmayıp gövdeden ibaret olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çalışmada farazi bir kök olarak ele alınan kö- fiilinin türevleri ele alınmıştır. Kö- kök fiiline, bazı araştırmacılar tarafından “bağlamak; yanmak” ya da “yükselmek, yüksek olmak” gibi farazi anlamlar verilmiştir. Çalışmada bazı araştırmacılara göre kök sayılan “göbek, gök, göl, köp (çok, fazla), köprü, kötürüm; gövermek (yükselmek), götürmek, köpmek (şişmek), köpürmek”, köp “çok, fazla” ve köp- “şişmek; çoğalmak, artmak” vd. kelimeler *kö- farazi kökünden türeyen birer gövde olarak ele alınmışlardır. Söz konusu kök fiile türevleri olduğu düşünülen bu kelimelerden yola çıkarak “yükselmek, yükseltmek; kaldırmak; şişmek, şişirmek” gibi anlamlar verilmiştir. Çalışmanın giriş kısmında kök terimi hakkında bilgiler verilip bazı araştırmacıların *kö- fiiliyle ilgili görüşlerine değinilmiştir. Ana metinde “yükselmek, yükseltmek; kaldırmak; şişmek, şişirmek” gibi anlamlar yüklenen söz konusu kök fiilden türediği düşünülen isim ve fiil gövdeleri ele alınmıştır. Sonuç kısmında ise ele alınan konu genel bir değerlendirilmeye tabi tutulmuştur.

Published: December 2023

With their natural abundance and minimal processing requirements, clays hold the potential to serve as economical adsorbents for various heavy metals. In this research, the adsorption capacity of hydrochloric acid (HCl) modified clay to adsorb mercury(II) (Hg2+) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated. The parameters affecting the adsorption capacity were determined by studying the initial metal ion concentration, contact time, and temperature effects. For natural clay, an optimal initial concentration of 400 mg/L and a contact time of 50 minutes were identified. Meanwhile, modified clay showed best results with an initial concentration of 400 mg/L and a contact time of 60 minutes for Hg2+ ions. The analysis of isotherm data revealed that the Langmuir isotherm model exhibited the best fit for both materials in Hg2+ ion adsorption. At temperatures of 298 K, 308 K, and 318 K, the adsorption capacity for natural clay and Hg2+ ions were found to be 4.56, 5.01, and 5.08 mg/g, respectively. Meanwhile, the modified clay displayed adsorption capacities of 11.12, 11.37, and 12.30 mg/g for Hg2+ ions at the same temperatures. Additionally, the kinetic analysis determined that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was the best fit for both materials in Hg2+ ion adsorption. The adsorption experiments investigated the adsorption mechanisms of Hg2+ metal ions on both natural clay and modified clay, with results indicating that the modified clay had a higher adsorption capacity for metal ions compared to the raw clay.

Published: December 2023

Bu çalışma Milli Görüş geleneğini temsil eden partilerin (Milli Nizam Partisi, Milli Selamet Partisi, Refah Partisi, Fazilet Partisi, Saadet Partisi) muhafazakârlık anlayışını muhafazakâr değerler (gelenek, din, aile, toplum, mülkiyet, otorite vb.) üzerinden ana hatlarıyla ele almayı amaçlamıştır. Literatürde Milli Görüş partilerini konu edinen çok sayıda çalışma bulunmakla birlikte söz konusu partilerin muhafazakârlık anlayışını doğrudan irdeleyen akademik çalışmaların olmadığı gözlenmiştir. Bu çalışma ise literatürdeki bu boşluğu önemli ölçüde giderme iddiasındadır. Bu çerçevede geniş bir literatür taraması ve derinlemesine analiz metoduyla birincil kaynaklardan yararlanılarak Milli Görüş partilerinin muhafazakâr tutumları analiz edilmiştir. Milli Görüş partilerinin muhafazakârlık anlayışının tam anlamıyla anlaşılması için 1980 öncesi ve sonrası biçiminde bir dönemsel kategoriye gidilmiştir. Bu kapsamda 1980 öncesi dönemde faaliyet yürüten iki Milli Görüş Hareketi partisi (Milli Nizam Partisi ve Milli Selamet Partisi) muhafazakâr değerlerden özellikle din ve aileye önem atfetmiş olmakla birlikte 1980 sonrası dönemde Milli görüş geleneğini temsil eden partilerden Refah Partisi muhafazakâr değerleri özümsemiş ancak ardıl partiler (Fazilet Partisi ve Saadet Partisi) muhafazakâr değerlerden ziyade demokrasi, laiklik, insan hakları vb. konulara vurgu yapmıştır.
