Authors: Zhang Yating
Published: January 2022

With the vigorous development of science and technology, emerging technologies such as big data, cloud computing, internet of things, and artificial intelligence have emerged. Driven by all these, the social economy in China is in the key stage of transformation into the new economic era. The international situation is also transforming, gradually changing from the economic system dominated by the traditional economy to the new economic system. Therefore, there is a need to conduct an in-depth analysis and research on the concept of “new economy”; that is, an economic form that integrates new technologies, industries, and models based on information technology or internet platforms. In combination of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it can be appreciated that with the arrival of the new economic era, there are great challenges to the productivity theory, labor value theory, and wealth theory under the traditional economic system. In order to effectively deal with the above challenges and adapt to the new economic development trend, there is a need to explore effective countermeasures from the perspective of the socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics in order to provide effective reference in predicting the trend of domestic economic development and docking with the new economic era.

A Literature Review on the Influence of LGBT Curriculum on Medical Students’ Attitude Towards LGBT Patients
Authors: Zhao Han
Published: January 2022

Background: Since 2014, the American Academy of Family Physicians has proposed that medical residents should gain more understanding about LGBT so that LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) patients can gain access to healthcare without bias. In order to fulfil this, appropriate educational content on LGBT is required. Methods: Ovid, PubMed, and Website of Science have been searched for literatures published in last 8 years, from 2013 to 2021. Literatures on the attitude of medical students before and after their experience of curricula with LGBT content were included, whereas those that focused on addressing the gap of LGBT content in the curricula, the bias towards LGBT medical students, and the effect of LGBT curriculum on the knowledge aspect were excluded. Results: Ninety-three articles were found, among which only six literatures were included in this review. It has been found that after LGBT education, students are more prepared and their attitude towards LGBT patients when providing healthcare is more positive. Some studies have also pointed out that medical students would change their opinion in treating LGBT patients. Conclusion: This review shows that there is evidence of the influence of LGBT education on medical students’ attitude toward LGBT patients although a wide gap still exists in this field.

Bruno Schulz i cyrk. Obrazy, metafory (auto)identyfikacje
Authors: Tarnowska Balbina
Published: January 2022

The article is an attempt at analyzing the circus motifs in the work of Bruno Schulz. The first part is about circus activities during the life of Schulz, that he could see or hear about. His biographical experiences and also the influences of other artists made that he alluded to the circus in his work. He recalls in his novels famous characters associated with circus such as Bosco the magician, famous director of the American circus of curiosities, Barnum. He alludes to the events that actually took place – the arrival of the Panopticon in Drohobycz in 1913. In his stories and letters he uses circus metaphors. In prose, graphics and drawings there are figures of circus performers, clowns, freaks. He identified himself with Pierrot in his self-portraits. Not only Schulz perceived himself in this role –apparently Witkacy was supposed to paint a portrait of him in a Pierrot costume.
Sojusz artystyczno-cyrkowy w filmie "Tratwa Meduzy"
Authors: Šuler Galos Jasmina
Published: January 2022

The film The Raft of the Medusa (1980, directed by Karpo Godina) attempts a recreation of a short part of the day in the life of avant-garde artists belonging to the “Zenit” group. The director aims to re-create the energy of artists‘ actions, and to analyse the reasons behind the movement‘s downfall. Central to the plot is the question of the possibility of revolutionary art in the remote, muddy plazas and roads of the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. His search for an answer to that question eventually turns into a stance in the fierce discussion on the independence of art and its right to interfere in politics, which raged in the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia at the time of the movie‘s making. The figure of the athlete Alojz Žnidaršič is of particular importance to the message of the movie. As a symbolic type, he needs no external justification – his self-sustaining artistic act has a direct, if limited, impact on reality.

Anna Olga Brown is a figure who became known in history as Miss Lala. Strong „African Princess”, „Black Venus”, with iron jaws which could hold the weight of several people as well as an exploding cannon. Her trapeze stunts were admired on the biggest European stages. She was born in Szczecin, to a black father and a white mother; the youngest of four siblings. She lived in a time of colonialism and racism. At a time when women still had no right to vote and their role was restricted to the private sphere. Her muscular, circus body went beyond the normative canons of female beauty and with its strength challenged dominant beliefs. It fascinated and disturbed. For advertising purposes it was alternately normalized and exoticised. Her biography is full of blank pages, uncertainties, and speculations. The following article is another attempt to read herstory, conducted within the framework of experimental history.

Background In many countries, smoking is considered as the most important preventable risk factor for a complicated pregnancy and delivery. However in Denmark, there is no clear picture of pregnant women. The aim was therefore to examine the prevalence, characteristics and registration of maternal smoking and quitting during pregnancy as well as estimate the potential for improvement. Methods This is a cohort study on smoking and quitting prevalence among 422,221 pregnant women in Denmark from 2006- 2012. Data from the Danish National Birth Register was linked with data from the Danish National Smoking Cessation Database in order to identify pregnant smokers undertaking a formalised smoking cessation intervention. Results Overall, 13% of the pregnant women were smokers. The smoking prevalence was highest among mothers younger than 25 years of age (29%) compared to 10-11% among the other age groups. All prognostic factors in the final analyses were in some way associated with the outcome. A group of 1,279 pregnant women underwent formal smoking cessation intervention programs with follow-up after 6 months. Of these, 232 were registered as non-smokers and 40 had no information on smoking in the Danish National Birth Registry. The potential for reducing smoking among pregnant women was high. 25-32% more quitters would be expected with a comprehensive Gold Standard Programme for smoking cessation. Conclusion This study indicates an urgent need for increased focus on offering effective smoking cessation programs to all groups of pregnant smokers, but with a special attention to the youngest group.

Authors: ÇINAR Ahmet Cevahir
Published: January 2022

Metaheuristic optimization algorithms are widely used in solving NP-hard continuous optimization problems. Whereas, in the real world, many optimization problems are discrete. The uncapacitated facility location problem (UFLP) is a pure discrete binary optimization problem. Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA) is a recently develop metaheuristic optimization algorithm and there is no binary variant of AOA. In this work, 17 transfer functions (TF1-TF17) are used for mapping continuous values to binary values. 17 binary variants of AOA (BAOA1- BAOA17) are proposed for solving UFLPs. 16 to 100-dimensional UFLPs were solved with binary variants of AOA. Stationary and non-stationary transfer functions were compared in terms of solution quality. The non-stationary transfer functions were produced better solutions than stationary transfer functions. Peculiar parameter analyzes for binary optimization problems were performed in the best variant (BAOA9) produced with TF9 transfer function.

Kompleksitas Kerjasama ASEAN Dalam Pemberantasan dan Mitigasi Terorisme
Authors: Wicaksono Sestyo Ndaru
Published: January 2022

Ancaman terorisme yang marak berkembang, terutama pasca tragedi 9/11, membayangi stabilitas keamanan di Asia Tenggara. Terdapat gerakan-gerakan separatis di beberapa negara anggota ASEAN yang dikhawatirkan gerakan-gerakan ini melakukan tindakan radikal yang mampu menggoyahkan stabilitas keamanan regional. Masing-masing negara ASEAN telah berupaya untuk mengatasi gerakan tersebut. Sayangnya, terorisme merupakan kejahatan transnasional yang penanganannya sulit dilakukan oleh satu negara saja sehingga membutuhkan kerjasama regional dalam rangka membangun keamanan regional di kawasan Asia Tenggara. Artikel ini akan membahas peran ASEAN sebagai sebuah Institusi Internasional dalam menyatukan negara-negara Kawasan dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan terorisme. Ada tiga mekanisme yang akan menjadi pembahasan dalam tulisan ini yaitu ADMM, ADMM Plus dan ACCT. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan Neoinstitusionalis, artikel ini berusaha untuk melihat mengapa kerjasama penanganan terorisme di ASEAN tidak dapat berjalan secara baik dan terkesan jalan ditempat.  Artikel ini berargumen bahwa ASEAN jika dilihat dari perspektif Neoinstitusionalis jauh dari bentuk intitusi yang ideal karena belum tidak dapatnya ASEAN dalam memaksakan berjalannya mekanisme-mekanisme kerjasama penanganan terorisme yang telah ASEAN ciptakan.

Este livro se diferencia de outras obras disponibilizadas no mercado editorial brasileiro por compartilhar contribuições teóricas e práticas informadas, especialmente, por saberes produzidos em diferentes campos dos estudos linguísticos. Nossas experiências na formação inicial e continuada mostram-nos que os saberes linguísticos são pouco acessíveis aos alfabetizadores, pela simples razão de não estarem sistematizados para os referidos profissionais, e por muitos desses educadores serem egressos de licenciaturas generalistas, com escasso tempo para o aprofundamento dos estudos sobre inúmeros aspectos da língua essenciais para a prática alfabetizadora. Outro atributo deste livro é ser fruto de estudos e parcerias científicas construídas ao longo dos anos a partir do diálogo estreito entre alfabetizadores e formadores. Os capítulos trazem resultados de pesquisas e de formações, ou seja, experiências diversas desenvolvidas nas idas e vindas entre escolas e universidades, interações que foram demandadas especialmente por profissionais da alfabetização. Assim, compartilhamos com os leitores trabalhos realizados por educadores inquietos, representantes das cinco regiões geográficas brasileiras e de três outros países dos continentes africano, europeu e latino-americano. Essa conjunção de atores pretende evidenciar duas questões materializadas de diferentes formas e mediante contextos: (a) a cientificidade necessária para o processo da alfabetização, informada pela negociação de saberes teóricos e práticos; e (b) as singularidades dos processos de ensino e de aprendizado, aqui denominados de alfabetizAções.

Authors: Bassey Nsor , Inuwa HM
Published: January 2022

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction has considerably evolved since it was initially performed back in 1869. It is the first step required for many of the available downstream applications used in the field of molecular biology and forensic science. Blood samples is one of the main body fluid used to obtain DNA. This experiment used other body fluids such as saliva, sweat tears and mucus. There are many different protocols available to perform nucleic acid extraction on such samples. These methods vary from very basic manual protocols to more sophisticated methods included in automated DNA extraction protocols. This experiment used extraction kit (Zymo research). The DNA result from isolated saliva samples on the facemask range from 133.7, 213.6, 599.1 and 209.1 mg/ml. theoretically; such DNA is of much quantity and quality and can be used for forensic investigation when recovered from a crime scene. The DNA from isolated tears samples on the face mask ranges from 707.7, 202.5, 99.2, and 62.6 mg/ml. Theoretically, such DNA is of much quantity and quality and can be used for forensic investigation when recovered from a crime scene. The DNA from isolated tears samples on the face mask ranges from 615.3, 66.2, 78.5, and 68.2 mg/ml. theoretically, such DNA is of much quantity and quality and can be used for forensic investigation when recovered from a crime scene. Extracted DNA from saliva and sweat produced visible bands on agarose gel, mucous stain produce obscure band on agarose gel and the tears stain produce invisible bands. DNA from sweat satin, saliva stain, mucus stain and tears stain in face mask can be used as alternative for forensic investigation.

DNA identification is very important in cases of high decomposition of dead bodies, in which the bodies cannot be identified by physical means. To compare the results of DNA typing, it is necessary to have related subjects with which to perform comparative analyses. Such tests are normally performed by comparing DNA profiles from people known to be immediate family members of the presumptive victim, such as parents or children because they share half of their genetic material with the unidentified. We report on how DNA analysis was used to solve a case of mixed-up bodies at a local mortuary in Ghana, West Africa. Two families and three buried human remains were in contention in this case. The first body (E9) was buried three months before exhumation. The second body (E11) was buried two and a half months before exhumation whiles the third body (E10) was buried a month before exhumation. Exhibit E5 was taken from an alleged child of the deceased, E11. Toenails of the exhumed bodies were sampled by a pathologist and used for DNA extractions using the QIAamp DNA Investigator Kit. Profiles from relatives were generated for comparison purposes. All samples gave a quality amount of genomic DNA after quantification. DNA was amplified with a GlobalFiler PCR amplification kit. Profiles from relatives were generated for comparison purposes. The human remains (exhibit E11) cannot be excluded as the biological father of the child (exhibit E5) because they share common alleles at all 23 genetic loci. The applicable combined paternity index was 17218125604.492 assuming a prior probability of 0.5. The probability of paternity is 99.99999999%. Based on this relationship testing, one of the bodies was successfully identified and handed over to the family for re-burial.

The internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha), magnitude of the association between nominal questions (Cramer's V or Phi) and test-retest reliability (Kappa coefficient) were analyzed. Results: The Cronbach's Alpha value was 0.78 (95%CI: 0.70–0.83). The mean value of Cramer's V was 0.16 (±0.06). Test-retest reliability values ranged from fair to good, with percentage agreement ranging from 48.8% (95%CI: 37.8–59.8) to 90.3% (95%CI: 81.3–95.4). Conclusions: The questionnaire serves the purpose for which it was created and can be applied to identify how professionals structure their practices.

Published: January 2022

Background: T his study aimed to evaluate healthy lifestyle behaviors and levels of knowledge of cardiovascular risk factors of individuals with chronic diseases aged 60 and over. Material and methods: T he study was conducted with 362 participants over the age of 60 (female 67.12 ± 5.11 and male 69.38 ± 5.51). The Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level (CARRF-KL) Scale and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II (HLBS II) were used in the study. Results: The total mean scores of the participants in CARRF-KL and HLBS II were 16.99 ± 4.69 and 105.17 ± 22.88, respectively. The mean scores of the spiritual development sub-dimensions of HLBS II were the highest, and the mean scores of the physical activity sub-dimensions were the lowest. There was a significant difference (p <0.05; **p <0.01) in CARRF-KL and HLBS II total scores and other sub-dimensions according to gender, marital status, smoking, education, income and chronic disease status. A positive, weak and statistically significant correlation (r = 0.316**, p <0.01) was found between CARRF-KL and HLBS-II. Conclusions: I ncreasing CARRF-KL and the development of HLBS II is thought to be an inevitable necessity for individuals 60 years old and older with a chronic disease to have a healthy lifestyle.

Authors: YAKUT HATICE , TALU BURCU
Published: January 2022

Background: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of core strength training on the static and dynamic balance and flexibility of the sedentary young indivudals. Material and methods: ‪‪41 healthy sedentary students participated in the study (age=21.56±1.05; height=171.90±8.18 cm; body weight=66.63±11.99 kg). Training was applied for 20–30 minutes a day, 2 days a week for 6 weeks. The sit-and-reach test, lateral bending test, hip flexion flexibility test, and the static and dynamic balance scores were used for outcome measures, which were calculated using the Balance System SD (Korebalance Premier-19 Systems Inc. USA). Results: Statistically significant increases were observed in the flexibility tests and dynamic balance parameters between before and after training (p<0.05). In static balance, there was no significant difference between the preliminary and final values. Conclusions: ‪6-week training was effective in increasing dynamic balance and flexibility, but had no effect on static balance. In the light of this information, we think that training should be a part of life, especially when considering functions that require dynamic balance such as walking in sedentary young individuals. We think that this study is important in terms of preventing injuries of young individuals who do/will do sports recreationally.

Published: January 2022

Background: In this paper we propose to analyze ways to introduce multimedia methods in the evaluation process in the discipline of physical education and sports, by increasing the objectivity of evaluation and self-evaluation. Material and Methods: During the research, 20 students aged 12–13 were filmed and evaluated. Movement analysis software, Kinovea application, version 0.8.15, was used to analyze the recorded image. Results: Through the centralized data represented in graphs and tables, at the first evaluation, the control group obtained results closer to the execution model by an average of 0.62% in 5 of the 6 samples. Following the application of the method researched in the paper, namely the viewing of the records from the first evaluation with biomechanically analyzed frames, the relationship between the two groups changes. At the final evaluation, the research group obtains results closer to the execution model in all 6 samples, on average by -4.61%. Conclusions: The results obtained after applying the statistical parameters (mean) of video recording and analysis reveal a progress in the technical preparation of students, the mistakes being detected more easily and more concretely, the students forming a clear image of their own execution and mistakes.

Football game requires a permanent dynamic, in which players frequently perform changes of direction, with or without the ball. This requires explosive strength in the lower limbs as well as agility. The aim of the study was to measure the execution time within the changes of direction over different distances. A total of 20 male football players were selected (aged 17.6±1.27 years old), BMI 21.4 ± 1.99. For the explosive strength, two tests using Optojump (Microgate) were applied: CMJ and 5 jumps single leg left/right front/back drift. Each player also performed an agility test consisting of a single change of direction to the left and another one to the right, then a complete turn with three changes of direction, once to the left and once to the right. Regardless of the dominant part, in the simple agility test there were no significant differences between the left and right leg (p> 0.05), while in the multiple tests, these differences became significant, with a delay in execution on the left side (p<0.05). Also, a moderate correlation was found between explosive strength and agility (r=.544, p<.05). In the games of possession, positioning and rounds, they will be permanently changed in such a way as to use both legs for the symmetrical development of explosive strength. Technical elements with and without the ball will be introduced in all situations, such as: quick jump-departure with the ball at the foot and change of direction to the left and to the right. Players will play positioning roles opposite to the situation in which they normally work (left defenders will be used on the right side, etc.). In all cases, it is recommended to insist on avoiding additional movements that lead to a decrease in agility.
Tourism promotion system in Poland in the context of selected National Strategic Documents
Authors: SZMYTKE RAFAŁ
Published: January 2022

Background: The term “nation branding” was first coined by Simon Anholt in the 1990s and refers to applying marketing strategies to individual countries. It aims to create a distinct self-image and international reputation that most effectively serves a nation’s interests. Today, in many countries it makes a part of the carefully designed national policy, with clear objectives and an evaluation system. Various types of rankings are used to position the nation brand on a global scale. They also show which elements influence the perception of a country the most. Tourism, which belongs to a six-element approach by Simon Anholt, is one of them. Material and methods: Selected official strategic documents at the national level served as the major source of information for the qualitative analysis. The paper covers the documents published between 2013 and 2020. The study of organizational structures and competences has been based on acts and relevant websites of respective bodies. Results: The article presents an approach to the brand and image building process at the national level in Poland in the framework of strategic documents. According to the documents, a range of activities, tactics and dedicated projects in the areas of culture, economy and tourism should strengthen the country’s position. Tourism, comparing to other areas, has a well-structured system of promotion and serves as Poland’s brand-building tool. Conclusions: The analysis of the key national strategic documents confirms the importance and economic benefits of a country’s international reputation. It presents a scope of targeted activities in three major areas: economy, culture and tourism. However, the level of details and the scale of projects significantly vary between documents. It may imply that operational decisions, including a choice of tactics, tools and evaluation system, are passed to the lower level. Tourism promotion is well-structured within a three-level system. Although it needs some amendments, which are voiced by some stakeholders, it still serves its purpose. The key, and we dare say, the only players are the Polish Tourism Organization and Regional and Local Tourist Organizations. A more structured approach to nation branding should become a priority. The documents express a need for integrated management of the entire process. But the number of entities engaged in promotion, both overall and in tourism, remains high and the communication channels complex. The branding process as part of the national policy requires reorganisation at all levels starting from the top.
