İMALAT SANAYİNDE AR-GE PERSONELİ ve İHRACAT İLİŞKİSİ: TODA YAMAMOTO NEDENSELLİK ANALİZİ İLE BİR UYGULAMA
Authors: Karaca Zeynep
Published: October 2024

Teknolojik inovasyon, sanayileşmenin kilit bir unsuru olarak kabul edilmekte ve bir ülkenin dışa açılma modelinin verimliliğini belirlemektedir. Güçlü bir ihracat sisteminin oluşturulmasında inovasyonun rolü, çeşitli yerli inovasyon kanalları ve uluslararası teknoloji yayılımları ile ilişkilidir. İnovasyonun ihracat üzerindeki etkisi, yurtiçi Ar-Ge çalışmaları ve yurtdışı Ar-Ge'nin teknolojik yayılımları ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Ar-Ge faaliyetleri mevcut üretim süreçlerinde ortalama maliyetlerin düşürülmesine ve ürünlerin kalitesinin iyileştirilmesine yol açabilir. Ayrıca, dâhili Ar-Ge faaliyetleri bir firmaya verimliliği artırmak ve yeni ürün geliştirmeye geçmek için temel beceriler ve uzmanlık sağlar. . Teorik literatürdeki en güçlü fikir birliği, ihracatın genellikle yerli firmaların yenilikçi faaliyetlerinin bir yan ürünü olduğu yönündedir. Başka bir deyişle, literatürde daha yüksek inovasyon oranlarının ihracat davranışını teşvik ettiği konusunda genel bir mutabakat vardır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de imalat sanayinde çalışan Ar-Ge personeli sayısı ile ihracatları arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma 2009-2022 dönemini kapsamaktadır. Nedenselliği test etmek için Toda Yamamoto nedensellik analizi kullanılmış olup hem ihracattan Ar-Ge personeline hem de Ar-Ge personelinden ihracata doğru iki yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur.

Küreselleşen dünyada ülkeler arasındaki dış ticaret faaliyetlerinin giderek arttığı görülmektedir. Türkiye, 21. yüzyılda dış ticaretini artırma başarısını göstermiştir. Ancak Covid19 pandemisi ve 2022 Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı sonrası dönemde ülkelerin ihracat ve ithalatını sınırlı sayıda ülkeden gerçekleştirmesinin riskli olduğu görülmüştür. Bir diğer ifadeyle ithalatını sınırlı sayıda ülkeden gerçekleştiren bir ülkenin büyük bir risk ile karşı karşıya olduğunu söylemek mümkündür. Zira pandemi, savaş ya da iki ülke arasında yaşanması muhtemel anlaşmazlıklar ülkelerin ithalatının aniden kesilmesi sonucunu ortaya çıkarabilecektir. Gıda ve hammadde gibi ürünlerin ithalatının kesilmesi ise ülke ekonomisi açısından telafisi güç maliyetler ortaya çıkarabilecektir. Covid-19 pandemisi ile başlayan süreçte politika yapıcıların ithalat yapılan kaynak ülkeleri çeşitlendirme konusunda istekli oldukları görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin ithalat yaptığı kaynak ülkeler açısından yoğunlaşmanın ölçülmesidir. Bu ölçüm yoğunlaşma oranları ve Herfindahl-Hirshman endeksleri ile yapılmıştır. Yapılan hesaplamalar neticesinde Türkiye’de CR4 değerlerinin 32,85 ile 43,63 arasında; CR8 değerlerinin ise 48,06 ile 58,85 arasında değiştiği görülmektedir. Bu değerler Türkiye için ithalatta orta-yüksek dereceli kaynak ülke çeşitliliğini işaret etmektedir. HHI değerlerinin de analiz edilen dönem boyunca 2000’in altında gerçekleştiği, bir diğer ifadeyle kaynak ülke çeşitlendirmesinin başarılı olduğunu görülmektedir. Entropi endeksleri de minimum değer olan sıfırdan oldukça uzaktır. Sonuç olarak tüm endeksler Türkiye’nin kaynak ülke çeşitlendirmesinde başarılı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte tüm yoğunlaşma endeks sonuçlarına göre 2021, 2022 ve 2023 yıllarında ithalatta kaynak ülke çeşitlendirmesi açısından olumsuz yönde bir eğiliminin söz konusu olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ancak bu olumsuz tablo risk oluşturacak düzeyde değildir. Ayrıca Türkiye’nin genel ithalatında Rusya ve Çin’in kaynak ülke olarak ilk sıralarda yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte yine Rusya ve Çin’in toplam ithalat içindeki payları, risk unsuru olarak algılanabilecek kadar yüksek bir oranda değildir. Elde edilen sonuçlar bu doğrultuda olmakla birlikte Türkiye’nin bazı ürünlerin ithalatında kaynak ülke farklılaşmasına daha fazla yönelmesinin olası riskleri azaltmak açısından olumlu olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Akduru Hale Eda
Published: October 2024

İşletmeler rekabet edebilirliklerini yükseltmek, sektörde varlıklarını korumak ve büyümek gibi çeşitli stratejik amaçlarla birleşme yoluna gitmektedirler. Özellikle uluslararası piyasalarda birleşme stratejisi uygulayan aktörler güç kazanmakta, birleşen işletmeler yaratılan sinerji ile sektörde öne çıkabilmektedir. Ancak işletme birleşmelerinde öne çıkan önemli bir konu örgüt içi dirençtir. Örgüt içi direnç birleşen işletmelerdeki çalışanların birleşme nedeniyle oluşan örgüt iklimindeki değişmeye direnmeleri ve bu sebeple işletme birleşmesinin çoğu zaman başarısızlığa uğramasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı işletme birleşmelerinde değişime direnç nedenlerinin genel bir sınıflandırmasını yapmak olup, bu amaçla 1998 yılında gerçekleşip başarısız olması nedeniyle dağılan Daimler-Chyrsler birleşmesi vakası analiz edilmiştir. Buna göre Daimler-Chrysler Birleşmesinde örgüt içi değişime direnç sebepleri kurumsal ve bireysel sebepler olarak ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Kurumsal sebeplerin başında kültür farklılıkları gelmektedir. Bunun dışında, operasyonel süreçlerdeki uyumsuzluklar, bölümler ve kişiler arası çatışmalar, güç paylaşımındaki belirsizlikler ile istihdam politikalarındaki aksaklıklar da diğer örgütsel değişime direnç sebepleri arasındadır. Alışkanlıklar, geleceğe ilişkin kaygılar, işletmenin birleşme sonrası başarısına inançsızlık ise bireysel değişime direnç sebepleri arasında sayılabilir. Bu araştırma ilgili vakayı çalışanlar ve örgüt içi politikalar bağlamında ele alması bakımından özgündür. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgulardan yola çıkılarak birleşme stratejisi izleyen veya izlemeyi planlayan işletmelere yönelik çeşitli öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

ULUSLARARASI TİCARETTE MÜZAKERE KAVRAMININ ÖNEMİ VE TÜRKİYE İHRACATINDA UZAKDOĞU ASYA ÜLKE PAZARLARININ POTANSİYELİ
Authors: Can Muharrem
Published: October 2024

Uluslararası iş müzakereleri ile ilgili ilk çalışmalar 1970’lerde yapılmaya başlanmış, 1980lerde bu alandaki çalışmalar artmaya başlamıştır. Özellikle uzak doğu ülkelerinin ekonomik olarak hızla gelişmesi, doğu blokunun dağılması ve küreselleşme, hem uluslararası ekonomik ilişkileri arttırmış hem de farklı kültürlerle iş yapma zorluğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. 1990’ lara kadar akademik çalışmalara daha çok çokuluslu şirketlerin hükümetlerle müzakeresi ve uluslararası ortak girişim konusu (joint-venture) konu olmuştur. 2000’li yıllardan sonra ise firma-firma müzakereleri de ele alınmaya başlamıştır. Müzakere farklı kültürlerden firmalar arasında gerçekleştiğinden, sadece uluslararası ticaret ve ekonomi konularını değil psikoloji, sosyoloji ve uluslararası hukuk gibi konuları da içine alan karmaşık bir alandır. Bu nedenle müzakere yapma şekli ve müzakereci konusu uluslararası alanda firma başarılarını etkileyen önemli konu haline gelmiştir. Çalışmamızda literatür taraması yöntemi kullanılmış, olarak uzakdoğu Asya ülkelerinin dokuz tanesinin GSYİH ve toplam ithalatları dikkate alınarak Türkiye’nin bu ülke pazarlarını yeterli derecede değelendiremediği bunda da en önemli nedenlerin uzaklık ve bu ülkelerin müzakere kültürlerinin yeterince bilinmemesi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

The Cuban case as depicted in the USSR’s visual propaganda and the Soviet citizens’ letters
Authors:   Tomsk State University, Fedosov Egor A.
Published: October 2024

The main aim of the article is to reveal the features of representation of Cuba, depicted in the Soviet visual propaganda and mass perception at the background of the Cold War. The author emphasizes the contest of posters and caricatures of early 1960s, as the most significant, stable and intelligible form of retranslation of the political metaphors. Their quantitative and qualitative analysis allows detecting the role of Cuba in total information flow and tracing connection with the other contexts. Unpublished "letters to the power" from the archival funds give opportunity for assessment of the Soviet peoples’ discourse solidarity with official world view and for research the case of public moods about Cuba as a new ally. Since 1959 the first visual feedbacks had appeared in the press. The enemies of revolutionary Cuba were visualized more intensively on the pages of newspapers. The Soviet cartoonists condemned the Cuban counter-revolution as well as its patrons from the US, whose images were also the part of more extensive anti-imperialist and anti-war propaganda. The heroic images of Cubans were depicted more deeply in posters, in 1960-1964 covering about 10% of all the available propaganda materials, devoted to international topics. The perception of Cuban issues by Soviet citizens was evident during the Caribbean crisis in 202 letters addressed to the USSR Council of Ministers. Most of them expressed approval, gratitude and support of the efforts of the governance for maintaining peace and security of mankind, also voiced the solidarity with Cuba at the background of aggressive actions of the US. Some of the messages ended in style of the posters’ slogans. But some part of the letters gave more voluminous analytical judgments, including the contradictions to the official rhetoric. Either the need to get involved in a large scale confrontation against the US because of Cuba was denied, or the more rigid and consistent protection of the Cubans was claimed. In general, the analysis of the Soviet visual propaganda shows, among the national liberation movements of 1950-1960s the revolutionary Cuba was initially positioned as one of the main allies of the USSR by the vividly represented and regularly replicated heroic image of the Cuban people with typical symbolism. Also, the Cuban matter became the relevant context for increasing anti-American propaganda. According to the letters to power many of the Soviet people shared the slogans of solidarity with Cuba.

Published: October 2024

Overseas Chinese have not only influenced their residence countries, but also deeply influenced Chinese culture, especially in religion, language and literature. In various fields such as Chinese communities, media, and education, overseas Chinese and Chinese culture have achieved integration and exchange. This phenomenon not only injects new vitality and promotes the inheritance and development of Chinese culture, but also becomes one of the important sources of China's soft power and plays an important role in China's public diplomacy. Based on multi angle and multi-level analysis, this paper aims to show the relationship between Overseas Chinese and Chinese culture, and emphasize the importance and value of Overseas Chinese in China's public diplomacy.
To the protracted discussion about the abrogation of the bloody revenge by the princes Yaroslavichi
Authors:   University of Tyumen, Pashin Sergey S.
Published: October 2024

Since the publication in the late 18th century of the Advanced Edition of the Russian Truth (Justice), or Prostrannaya Pravda, almost all historians began to write about the abrogation of the the bloody revenge by the princes Yaroslavichs, referring to the content of the Article 2. For a long time, they ignored the fact that Pravda of Yaroslavichs (the Second Part of the Brief Edition of the Russian Truth, or Kratkaya Pravda) does not mention about this important reform of the sons of Prince Yaroslav the Wise. The attempt to resolve the contradiction between the two editions of the the Russian Pravda led to the emergence in 1860 of hypothesis about two congresses of the princes Yaroslavichs. The title of the Article 19 of Kratkaya Pravda mentions the first congress of the Yaroslavichs, and Article 2 of Prostrannaya Pravda refers to the second congress, at which the princes abolished the bloody revenge. After 1860 the majority of prerevolutionary and Soviet historians supported this hypothesis. Some writers wrote about only one congress, but they left also that the sons of Yaroslav abolished the vendetta. The information about the abrogation of the bloody revenge has become familiar in the general studies on the history of Ancient Rus’ and the history of the Russian law. In the 20th century only some historians (for example, V.O. Kliuchevskiy, N.A. Maksimejko) dared to suggest that the words about the abrogation of the bloody revenge is subjective and perhaps a misconception of the originator of Prostrannaya Pravda. The author of this journal article joins to this opinion. He believes that the originator of Prostrannaya Pravda made wrong conclusions from the content of the articles of Kratkаya Pravda. The vendetta has not been canceled. Unlike many historians of the 19th–20th centuries, the originator of Prostrannaya Pravda did not know about the second congress of the Yaroslavichs. He had the text of the entire Kratkаya Pravda. He read the Article 1 in it, the title by the Article 19 of Kratkaya Pravda with the mention of the congress of the princes Yaroslavichs, the following articles about the double payment (vira) for the murder of the prince's retainers, and decided that the Yaroslavichs had canceled the bloody revenge. This was the subjective opinion of the compiler of the Lengthy Truth, who most likely lived in the 13th century. Expressed more than 100 years ago by N.A. Maksimeyko and sympathetically accepted in 1940–1947 by B.A. Romanov, the hypothesis was unfairly forgotten by Soviet and modern Russian historians. All of the above compels to doubt the opinion about Prostrannaya Pravda as the official legislation of Old Rus’.
The history of the Civil War in Russia through the prism of public history. Sukhanovsky A. F. Bayonet decides. War Diary. Frontline diary. Arkhangelsk: SK-Russia: SK-Capital. 2020. 485 p.

Published: October 2024

In modern conditions, it seems that the study of the Civil War and the dissemination of knowledge about it is possible using the potential of public history. The attention of professional historians is attracted by a book prepared by the organizer of the search movement A. Sukhanovsky, who has been leading a group of enthusiasts studying the places of battles with the interventionists in the North of Russia for twenty years. The interventionist forces here numbered more than 40 thousand people in 1919. The participants of the search group carried out excavations on the territory of the Arkhangelsk region for 20 years, participated in the creation of the military historical park "Yuryevsky Frontier", which is the only well-preserved complex of fortifications of the Civil War period in Russia. It is now part of the military historical park "Railway Front" in the battlefields of 1918-1919 on the Arkhangelsk-Moscow railway. The title of the book is connected with the decision of the American soldiers of the 339th regiment, who included the motto of the Russian infantry of the Northern Rifle Regiments "Shtyck reshaet" (in Russian) in their coat of arms. It was a manifestation of Americans' respect for the heroism and dedication of political opponents. The book consists of an introduction, six blocks of information ("Soldier's gray hair", "Romance of company "A", "Catching up with the wind", "Combat Patrol", "Russian scars", "Extraordinary adventures of the British in Northern Russia"), divided into 32 parts, which the author called ‘blockhouses’. The author translated and published the memoirs of foreign participants of the events in his book. Among them are the memoirs of Corporal of company "G" 339 of the American regiment J. H. Turnman, fighter pilot K. van der Spye, commander of infantry company "M" J. Moore, J. R. Singleton-Gates. The study presents a translation of a fragment of the book by D. York "The romance of Company A 339th Infantry ANREF". The author presented and interpreted the material historical sources discovered during the survey work. The revealed materials make it possible to recreate the life of combatants and civilians in extreme conditions of armed conflict. A. Sukhanovsky describes the experience of reconstruction of military events in the Russian North in 1918-1919. The review points out the shortcomings of the work in question: the refusal to prepare a bibliographic list, the lack of a description of the history of the photographs given in the publication, taken by Signal Corps USA employees.

Published: October 2024

Remnant cholesterol (RC) is highly regarded in the cardiovascular field; however, its relationship with new-onset diabetes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RC and the risk of developing diabetes, as well as its interaction with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c). This was a secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study based on a Chinese population. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was initially employed to assess the relationship between RC and newly diagnosed diabetes. This was followed by a subgroup analysis to explore intergroup heterogeneity. A clinical prediction model was then developed. Finally, the study further analyzed the interactions between LDL-c and RC. After adjusting for confounding factors, RC was significantly associated with an increased risk of diabetes (HR = 1.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.36–1.57). Furthermore, this relationship was nonlinear, with an inflection point of 0.48 identified through the piecewise model. Subgroup analysis indicated that the association was more pronounced in individuals under 60 years and those with a body mass index < 24 kg/m2 (P for interaction = 0.0004, <0.0001, respectively). RC proved to be a more effective predictor of diabetes compared to other lipid profiles, and the clinical prediction model was successfully constructed. Notably, individuals in the low LDL-c/high RC group were found to have a 1.41-fold (95% CI 1.281.55) greater risk compared to those in the low LDL-c/low RC group. Significant correlations were observed between baseline RC levels and the risk of new-onset diabetes. Elevated RC was a strong predictor of diabetes risk, irrespective of LDL-c levels.
The stay of the Danish diplomatic mission in Kyiv (based on the materials of the diary of Juel Just 1709–1711)
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Potiomka Roman
Published: October 2024

Juel Just came from the famous Northern Jutland noble family Jul (Yuel). Among the famous representatives of the family, it is worth highlighting Jul Niels – the famous Danish admiral, head of the defense of the capital of Copenhagen, and Jul Ens – the governor of Norway in the 17th century. Juel Just initially pursued a military career. A graduate of the Kiel Military Academy, he served for a long time in the Dutch and Danish navy. In 1697, he received the rank of commander-captain and became close to the Danish king Frederik IV. At the beginning of the 18th century the Northern War continued. Denmark was an ally of Russia in the struggle against Sweden. In 1709, by order of King Frederik IV, Juel Just became the Danish ambassador to Moscow State. Most of the diplomatic representatives of that time were spies. Envoys recorded political life in the host country in their diaries, recorded important events, decisions of the royal power, and transferred the necessary material to their homeland. Along with this, diplomats left unique material about daily life, travel routes, main stops, trip duration, etc. This scientific article aims to investigate and reveal Just Juel’s stay in Eastern Europe in 1709–1711. The work is based on the Danish diplomat’s diaries, drawn up by his personal secretary – Rasmus Erebo, who also took an active part in the trip of the diplomatic mission. The notes left us with unique memories and a record of life in Muscovy, a personal negative attitude towards Muscovites, the Russian bureaucracy and constant drinking. From June 27 to July 14, 1711, Juel Just stayed in the city of Kyiv, about which he left memories and represented its situation at the beginning of the 18th century, the construction of the Pechersk fortress, a description of monastic life, coverage of the main events of the city at that time, which were witnessed by the Danish delegation.
SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE PALEOGENE VOLCANICLASTIC GRAVITY FLOW DEPOSIT OF THE ULUKIŞLA FORMATION, SOUTH CENTRAL TÜRKIYE
Authors: Mahamidou Mach houdou Aliou , Koral Hayrettin
Published: October 2024

The sedimentological study of volcaniclastic successions is essential for gaining insight into the intricate geological history of the Ulukışla Basin in south Central Anatolia. This study, based on a comprehensive facies analysis of two representative stratigraphic sections, attempts to reconstruct the depositional conditions associated with volcaniclastic sedimentation within the Ulukışla Formation. Facies assemblages dominated by debris-flow deposits and turbidites provide clear evidence for deposition under deep-water conditions related to the proximal environment. Sedimentary characteristics of these deposits made up of volcanogenic conglomerates with basaltic to andesitic clasts of variable size, sandstones, and subordinate mudstone are suggestive of derivation from the nearby Ulukışla volcanic rocks. Almost all the lithofacies display a high tuff content indicative of possible sediment contributions from sub-aerial volcanic sources. The main controlling factors responsible for deposition include submarine gravity flow processes thought to have been triggered by slope instability or the collapse of a volcanic edifice. Thus, the resulting volcaniclastic accumulations are interpreted to be linked to volcanic apron deposits. In the realm of prospective research, the acquisition of geochemical and geochronological data stands as a promising avenue, offering crucial insight into the temporal aspects and tectonic setting of deposition of the Ulukışla volcaniclastic sequence.
INVESTIGATING ABSORPTION EFFECTS ON OIL DROPLETS IN ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY: A FORCE ANALYSIS APPROACH
Authors: Samba Mohammed A. , Li Yiqiang , Liu Zheyu , Amar Ibrahim A. , Abdurrahman Muslim , Anyimah Peter O.
Published: October 2024

This research aims to analyze the forces that affect oil droplets to illustrate that augmenting the mass of an oil droplet fosters favorable conditions for interaction between displaced and displacing fluids. This, in turn, impedes the bypassing of the displacing fluid around the oil droplets. In this investigation, the concept of augmenting the mass of an oil droplet is realized through absorption phenomena, employing coated spinel oxide (cobalt ferrite oxide) nanoparticles (CFO NPs). The synthesis of CFO NPs was successfully carried out in the laboratory using a sol-gel technique, followed by coating with a surfactant and lauric acid. The coated spinel oxide NPs underwent characterization using IR, XRD, and XRF techniques. The procedures started with the calculation of capillary force restrictions for small and large oil droplets. Furthermore, practical experiments involving oil droplets on glass plates at a 30° angle were conducted for different scenarios: without water injection, with water injection, and during the “absorption effect” of CFO NPs. The findings revealed that a large oil droplet exhibits lower capillary pressure restrictions compared to a small oil droplet, with a disparity of 0.02 m/s2 . Consequently, it is comparatively easier for large oil droplets to become free than small ones. Moreover, a large oil droplet exhibits faster movement than small oil droplets due to gravitational effects in the absence of any injections. During the water injection scenario, the water droplets were unable to displace the oil droplet; instead, they passed through the passage beside and above the oil droplet consistently with an increase in the amount of water droplets. However, in the coated CFO NPs scenario, absorption of the coated CFO NPs onto the oil droplet was observed. This resulted in the aggregation of oil molecules, augmenting the gravity of the oil droplet and creating favourable conditions for its displacement. Notably, no water bypass beside the oil droplet was observed in this scenario, unlike the water scenario. Additionally, the aggregation of oil molecules induced corner flow, providing conducive conditions for microemulsion formation, altering wettability, modifying residual oil saturation, and enhancing injection performance. Euler’s equation was employed to analyse corner flow, indicating that the level of oil deformation increases with the rising rotation velocity, potentially leading to an increased recovery factor.
Simultaneous Synthesis and Characterization of Quinolinates to Obtain Cobalt Ferrite
Authors: Retizlaf Alessandro , De Souza Sikora Mariana , Dias Teixeira Sirlei , Emilio Zorel Junior Henrique , Botteselle Giancarlo
Published: October 2024

8-Hydroxyquinoline and its derivatives are compounds with a variety of applications in various fields of knowledge such as medicine, biological sciences, and chemistry. Many of these applications are possible because 8-hydroxyquinoline forms stable and insoluble metal chelates with a range of metals such as copper, cobalt, calcium, iron, and nickel. One of the possible applications of 8-HQ chelates is the production of metal oxides by thermal decomposition, however, there are few studies in the literature using quinolinates for this purpose. If the chelates are synthesized simultaneously, it is possible to obtain double oxides such as cobalt ferrite, which has numerous applications due to its magnetic properties. In this way, the present work aims to the simultaneous synthesis of cobalt II and iron III quinolinates at different pH values, as well as their characterization by XDR, SEM, TEM, FTIR and Raman analysis. Finally, the quinollinate synthetized were applied as precursors to obtain cobalt ferrite by thermal decomposition.

Bone health in crisis: Addressing Vitamin D deficiency in orthopedic practice
Authors: Lakhani Amit , Pal Satinder , Karan
Published: October 2024

Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to musculoskeletal conditions, particularly in pediatric populations. This review focuses on the role of vitamin D in bone health, highlighting its deficiency as a key factor in the development of conditions such as rickets, osteomalacia, skeletal deformities, and an elevated risk of fractures. Vitamin D is essential for calcium and phosphate homeostasis, which are crucial for bone mineralization and growth. A deficiency disrupts these processes, leading to soft, weak bones and a range of orthopedic issues.

Children with vitamin D deficiency often present with musculoskeletal pain, delayed growth, bowing of the legs, and recurrent fractures, all of which can have long-term consequences if not addressed early. Diagnostic approaches, including serum vitamin D measurement, radiographic evaluation, and bone mineral density assessment, are critical for timely identification. Treatment typically involves vitamin D supplementation, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle changes, such as increased exposure to sunlight.

This review highlights the importance of early recognition and management of vitamin D deficiency within orthopedic practice to prevent severe musculoskeletal complications. By addressing this deficiency proactively, orthopedic practitioners can play a vital role in improving bone health and preventing lifelong orthopedic disabilities.

Published: October 2024

An understanding of trends in blood and its product usage profile and current usage can help predict future trends in demand and help to put efforts to reduce use in particular areas. Present study aimed to assess the use of blood and blood components issued by blood bank and indication for selection of specific blood products.

The present cross sectional observational time bound study was conducted at Father Muller Medical College & Hospital, which included all the patients to whom the whole or blood component are issued from blood between Jan 2016 to Jan 2020. All the units of blood and blood components issued to outside hospitals and institutions were excluded.

A total of 20000 components were dispatched to 5002 patients request for the blood components from the blood bank, 2968 were males and 2032 were female patients (male to female ratio of 1.46:1). Highest request for blood components for transfusion was received from Medicine department and allied with 6063 units, followed with various Intensive care units (4477 units), oncology department (5729 units), OBG (1841 units), orthopaedics (1248 units) and surgery (453 units). The most common diagnosis for patients requiring blood components was haematological causes or Bleeding followed by elective surgery.

Auditing the use of blood, its components and indications for their use by the various departments of the hospital has helped to finding the trend of number of blood.
Arepas are not Tacos: On the Labor Markets of Latin America
Authors: Aristizábal-Ramírez María , Santos Cezar , Torres Alejandra
Published: October 2024

This paper examines labor markets across Latin American countries, revealing substantial differences in unemployment, informality, and worker transitions. Using surveys from eight countries, we construct comparable statistics on employment stocks and mobility patterns. Notable cross-country differences emerge, with economies mostly clustered into high unemployment-low informality or low unemployment-high informality groups. Transition probabilities and directional flows also vary significantly. We highlight the importance of using country-specific parameters when simulating labor market and aggregate outcomes. Finally, we compare our main results with those by sex and education groups.
Selected Aspects of Understanding Culture in the Light of Karol Wojtyła Conception of Subjectivity
Authors: Lesomar Antonius Alex
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this article is to present the essence of culture in the view of Karol Wojtyła in relation to his conception of the subjectivity of human person. Culture, as a specific way of human existence and being, is confirmed through the analysis of the problem of subjectivity which it is created through actions as the proper activity of the human person. In the light of the conception of subjectivity, Wojtyła brings to light his notion of the constitution of culture of human work in relation to the transitive actions and human culture or culture of person in relation to the intransitive actions. In this notion, he accentuates the subject and goal of culture that is the human person himself.
Covid-19 y comunidades diaguitas: desigualdades estructurales y estrategias (inter)comunitarias en el departamento Santa María (Catamarca, Argentina)
Authors: García Guerreiro Luciana
Published: October 2024

El objetivo fue indagar y analizar el impacto social, sanitario y económico de la pandemia covid-19 en comunidades indígenas de la provincia de Catamarca (Argentina), buscando identificar también las diferentes estrategias construidas por parte de estas comunidades para hacer frente a este fenómeno. El trabajo de investigación se llevó a cabo entre diciembre de 2021 y diciembre de 2022, y ha tenido un carácter exploratorio y un diseño metodológico predominantemente cualitativo. Durante el trabajo de campo, se llevaron a cabo 15 entrevistas en profundidad a autoridades comunitarias, personas de la comunidad, técnicos territoriales y agentes de salud, las cuales fueron complementadas con 30 entrevistas estructuradas realizadas a personas de diferentes comunidades del departamento Santa María. Si bien se evidencia la existencia de tensiones entre el sistema de salud oficial y las comunidades indígenas (con sus cosmovisiones y sus prácticas ancestrales), también se observa la relevancia que ha asumido la autogestión comunitaria y el control territorial de los procesos organizativos indígenas en las acciones de prevención y atención de la salud, y en el establecimiento de diálogos y negociaciones con las autoridades del sistema de salud local respecto a la implementación de medidas en los territorios.

The Effect of the Liberian Government’s Taxation Policies on Poverty and Inequality
Authors: Edeh Henry C. , Scarpini Celeste
Published: October 2024

Many low- and middle-income countries have little capacity to mobilise revenue, and a high level of socioeconomic inequality. In Liberia these issues have been exacerbated by regional and global crises that reduced economic performance and living standards, such as the outbreak of Ebola in 2014 and Covid-19 in 2020. Tax policy reforms can play a crucial role in such a difficult economic and social environment, simultaneously increasing tax revenue and improving equity by reducing the tax burden on relatively poorer individuals. However, little is known about the extent to which tax policy reforms affect poverty and inequality, especially at the household level. This study assesses the effect on poverty and income inequality resulting from reform of personal income tax (PIT) and goods and services tax (GST) in Liberia. In particular, it evaluates the impact of amendments to the Revenue Code of the 2000 Act through the Tax Amendment Acts of 2011 and 2016, which reformed the PIT structure (2011) and the GST rate (2016). Summary of Working Paper 210 written by Henry Edeh.
Tax Awareness and Fiscal Workarounds in Contemporary Kenya: Reactions Towards New Taxation Laws, and the Need to Renew the Social Contract
Authors: Magale Eric , Schmidt Mario
Published: October 2024

This working paper highlights the awareness and perception of taxes among ordinary Kenyans, with a particular focus on how they situate taxes in their wider universe of obligatory payments. The paper first describes how Kenyans understand the nature, social meaning, and importance of taxes and how these understandings changed during our research, which took place shortly after the enactment of the unpopular Finance Act 2023. The temporal proximity between the period of our data collection and the enactment of this law provided a rare and unique lens for a study of how ordinary citizens view taxes. Apart from exploring how rising taxes on digital financial services influenced economic behaviour among Kenyans occupying different economic classes, the paper also describes how these Kenyans increasingly made use of ‘fiscal workarounds’ to strategically avoid taxes whereby they clearly positioned themselves against some of the unpopular taxes forced down on them, citing the high cost of living and waning public confidence in the political leadership as their reasons. We conceptualise ‘fiscal workarounds’ as the idea that citizens do not simply accept or reject taxes but rather engage in practices that redefine, revise (albeit theoretically) and resist taxes depending on how they experience them. Although not novel, these ‘fiscal workarounds’ were now increasingly justified by citizens who pointed to the political elite’s failure to fulfil their part of the social contract. The paper concludes by offering insights for policy adjustments that could help renew the social contract between Kenyan taxpayers and government as their agents.

Authors: Mirnawati Mirnawati , Sari Devni Prima
Published: October 2024

The development of Go-Food services in the surrounding community, including UNP Mathematics students, has caused various reactions, namely satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the services provided. Several factors are thought to result in Go-Food services being less than optimal based on the opinions of several experts, namely reviews of prices, payments, promotions, driver performance and suitability of specifications. Based on the results of distributing research questionnaires, there are several factors that cause students to be satisfied using Go-Food services and some are dissatisfied. The field of data mining science that will help companies to overcome this problem is classification techniques. Classification techniques in data mining will produce a classification model obtained from input in the form of training data, which has class variables. The classification model will map data object X to one of the previously defined classes Y. The classification method used is Naïve Bayes, which is defined as a combination of naïve and Bayes' theorem and produces the assumption that one independent variable is independent of each other. This research uses 44 training data and 44 test data. This classification presents the data into 50% training data and 50% testing data. The results of the classification of UNP Mathematics students' satisfaction with the quality of Go-Food services at Gojek using the naïve Bayes method obtained an accuracy of 86.3% and an APER value of 13.3%. This means that the naïve Bayes classification results are in the good classification range, which is concluded as good classification results.
