CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A FUNCTION OF BRAND LOYALTY: INPUT TO AN ENHANCED COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY THROUGH SOCIO-CIVIC ENGAGEMENTS
Authors: Ehmczee B. Sancha
Published: May 2023

The study determined the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Brand Loyalty among 318 CSR beneficiaries of the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) who were randomly selected through stratified random sampling. Results of the descriptive analysis revealed that the DBP CSR beneficiaries had very high observation of Philanthropic CSR and Ethical CSR, as well as very high devotion to the Bank, in terms of Cognitive, Affective, Conative, and Action Loyalty. Fundamentally, the correlation analysis established that CSR had a significant and positive relationship with Brand Loyalty. Meanwhile, findings for the one-way analysis of variance in Brand Loyalty in terms program of engagement revealed that the DBP RISE beneficiaries had statistically higher Brand Loyalty. Lastly, the same analysis applied in terms of geographical location revealed that the all DBP CSR beneficiaries, regardless if they were from Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao, had statistically equal Brand Loyalty. In line with the foregoing findings, the current study put forward the reconstitution of the DBP CSR program for education as the primary recommendation. Parenthetically, the development of new marketing plan and materials, improvement of personal banking products and services, and continuation of the CSR program network were also among the propositions presented.

Stroke Risk Prediction Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques Through Electronic Health Records
Authors: Jiang Song , Gu Yuan , Kumar Ela
Published: May 2023

Nowadays, Electronic Health Records (EHR) include critical information in the text format. In order to make medical decisions more efficient, the text should be processed and code deliberated. In this report, we applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to improve stroke risk prediction based on the EHR text. The system based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) generates structured text from EHR, followed by applying Machine Learning (ML) techniques to classify the text as a "good" or "bad" indicator, which is used for prediction. The ML models here we used include logistic regression and Support Vector Machine (SVM). Our results show that both models can classify the text precisely and make predictions accurately.
Expecting the unexpected: a review of learning under uncertainty across development

Published: May 2023

Many of our decisions take place under uncertainty. To successfully navigate the environment, individuals need to estimate the degree of uncertainty and adapt their behaviors accordingly by learning from experiences. However, uncertainty is a broad construct and distinct types of uncertainty may differentially influence our learning. We provide a semi-systematic review to illustrate cognitive and neurobiological processes involved in learning under two types of uncertainty: learning in environments with stochastic outcomes, and with volatile outcomes. We specifically reviewed studies (N = 26 studies) that included an adolescent population, because adolescence is a period in life characterized by heightened exploration and learning, as well as heightened uncertainty due to experiencing many new, often social, environments. Until now, reviews have not comprehensively compared learning under distinct types of uncertainties in this age range. Our main findings show that although the overall developmental patterns were mixed, most studies indicate that learning from stochastic outcomes, as indicated by increased accuracy in performance, improved with age. We also found that adolescents tended to have an advantage compared with adults and children when learning from volatile outcomes. We discuss potential mechanisms explaining these age-related differences and conclude by outlining future research directions.

DIMINUTIVES IN IVAN VAZOV’S NOVEL “UNDER THE YOKE” AND THEIR RUSSIAN EQUIVALENTS
Authors: Bagasheva Mariya
Published: May 2023

Slavic languages as a whole are famous for the widespread use of diminutive forms and the variety of emotive-expressive nuances that diminutives can convey. During the age of the Bulgarian Renaissance (18th - 19th century) the use of diminutives was a characteristic feature of the language, whereas after that period their use in the literary language decreased significantly. Due to the fact that Ivan Vazov wrote his historical novel in 1889-1890, the text abounds in diminutive forms, which is characteristic for Bulgarian writers of that period. The paper studies the word-formative patterns of diminutive words excerpted from Ivan Vazov's novel "Under the Yoke" and their rendering in the Russian translation of the novel. An analysis of the formation and function of diminutives in the two languages is suggested. Considering the closeness of the studied languages, an attempt is made to investigate the specifics of diminutive words in Bulgarian and Russian, as well as the reasons for their omission in the Russian translation, if any. As both Bulgarian and Russian are rich in diminutive forms, the paper analyses the differences in the use of diminutives in these languages. The method of philological analysis has been used in collecting and analyzing the corpus of excerptions.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Smartphones have become an essential part of our life, serving multiple functions like messages, calls and navigation. Smartphone users will increase up to 7.5 billion by 2026. Overuse of smartphones not only causes time wastage and health hazards but also have effects on physical activity and academics. Evaluation of these effects was the need of time, so this study was conducted to assess duration of smartphone usage in undergraduate medical students, and their association with physical activity and academic performance was determined.

METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey among 384 undergraduates was conducted from April to August 2019 in Islamabad Medical and Dental College, Islamabad. Convenient sampling technique was done. Structured questionnaire containing socio-demographic information along with a smartphone addiction scale was used. IPAQ long form was also used to determine physical activity among the participants. Academic performance was determined through marks percentage obtained in Annual Professional examination. Data was collected and analyzed by using SPSS 21. Frequencies and percentages were calculated and tests of significance were applied.

RESULTS: It was observed that smartphone addiction was more pronounced in male participants 112(64.4%) than in females 109(51.9%). Thus, more male participants were found overweight (16.6%) than females (13.8%). Excessive smartphone usage was found to be significantly associated with physical activity (p-value 0.03). However, excessive smartphone usage had insignificant association with academic performance (p-value=0.250).

CONCLUSION: A strong association between excess smartphone usage with reduced physical activity was found. However, smartphone usage had no association with the academic performance of students.

Kırım-Kongo Kanamalı Ateşi (KKKA) yüksek mortalitesi nedeniyle önemli bir sağlık sorunudur. Çoğunlukla kene ile bulaşan bu hastalığın sıklığı bölgemizde artış halindedir. Araştırmanın amacı hastanemize kene ısırığı ile gelen olguların epidemiyolojik özelliklerini araştırmak, KKKA açısından değerlendirmek ve hastaneye yatış ilişkili risk faktörlerini belirlemektir.Retrospektif tipteki bu araştırmada 2018-2020 tarihleri arasında hastanemize ‘zehirsiz böcek tarafından sokulma’ ile başvuran ve kene tarafından sokulduğu tespit edilen 1606 olgunun 3744 başvurusu incelendi. Yıllar arasındaki farklar değerlendirildi. KKKA tanısı alan ve almayan hastalar karşılaştırıldı. Lojistik regresyon analiziyle hastane yatışını etkileyen risk faktörleri belirlendi.KKKA RT-PCR testi, sevk edilen toplam 47 kişinin 42’sinde pozitif geldi. Bu hastaların tedavilerinin hastanede yatarak gerçekleştirildiği görüldü. Tek değişkenli lojistik regresyon analizi yapıldığında, KKKA nedeniyle hastane yatışı ile keneyi sağlık çalışanı dışında birinin çıkarması (‘odds ratio’ (OR):48,0; güven aralığı (GA): 6,56-360,0), ilk başvuru sırasında ek şikayet olması (OR:10,0; GA:41,0-253,0), Alanin Aminotransferaz, Aspartat Aminotransferaz, Laktat Dehidrogenaz, C-Reaktif Protein, Aktive Parsiyel Tromboplastin Zamanı ve Uluslararası Düzeltme Oranı (INR), Trombosit/ Lenfosit ve Nötrofil/Lenfosit oranı yüksekliği; Lökosit ve Trombosit düşüklüğü arasında istatistiksel anlamlı ilişki bulundu.

Bölgemizde KKKA vakaları son 3 yılda giderek artan bir seyir izlemiştir. KKKA hastalarında, kenenin sağlık çalışanı dışında biri tarafından çıkarılma oranı belirgin şekilde yüksekti. Bu nedenle endemik bölgelerde kene konusunda ek önlemler alınmasını ve hayvancılıkla uğraşan kişilere eğitim verilmesini öneriyoruz. Ayrıca gelişinde ek şikayeti bulunan veya belirtilen laboratuvar parametrelerinde anormallik tespit edilen olgular yakından takip edilmelidir.

The “Blazar Sequence” in the TeV Band
Authors: Ouyang Zhihao , Xiao Hubing , Chen Jianzhen , Fan Junhui , Strigachev Anton A. , Bachev Rumen S. , Zeng Xiangtao , Manganaro Marina , Xue Rui , Li Zelin
Published: May 2023

The “blazar sequence” has been proposed for more than 20 yr, yet its nature is still unclear. In this work, for the first time we expand this topic to the TeV band by using a sample of 58 TeV blazars, including 48 blazars in the quiescent state and 21 blazars in the flaring state (11 blazars show in both quiescent and flaring state). We investigate the correlation between the TeV luminosity, which has been compensated for attenuation from extragalactic background light, and the synchrotron peak frequency. We note that there is no correlation between TeV luminosity and peak frequency in the quiescent state and a strong anticorrelation in the flaring state for the observed value. However, there is a strong positive correlation in both the quiescent state and the flaring state for the intrinsic value. This indicates that the blazar sequence is shown in the flaring state rather than in the quiescent state for the observed value and the blazar sequence is not present in both states after removing the beaming effect. In addition, to confirm whether the beaming effect results in the blazar sequence, we compare the Fermi γ-ray luminosity between the quiescent state and the flaring state. We find the Fermi γ-ray luminosity in the flaring state is greater than that in the quiescent state, and the Doppler factor in the flaring state is greater. We suggest the blazar sequence in the flaring state may be due to a stronger beaming effect.

Abstract

We describe a new species of rhacophorid frog of the genus Gracixalus from northeast India based on molecular, morphological and acoustic evidence. The new species, formally described herein as Gracixalus patkaiensissp. nov., is morphologically distinct from other congeners by a suite of morphological characters such as snout-vent length 23.6–26.5 mm in adult males; green dorsum with irregular brown spots; dorsal skin shagreened with numerous spinules; snout shape nearly acuminate in dorsal and ventral view; a prominent dark streak along the cranial margins; white reticulations along lateral side and ventrum distinct in life. Genetically, the new taxon is found to differ from all the recognized Gracixalus species by 4–14.8% divergence in the 16S mitochondrial gene. The discovery confirms the presence of genus Gracixalus from the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh underlines the importance of biological exploration even in well-known protected areas of India.
A revision of the Chilean water penny genus Tychepsephus Waterhouse, 1876 (Coleoptera, Psephenidae, Eubriinae), with description of a second species and two larval morphotypes, and notes on other Chilean Psephenidae
Authors: Shepard William D. , Barr Cheryl B.
Published: May 2023

The Chilean water penny genus Tychepsephus Waterhouse, 1876 is revised, with descriptions and photographic illustrations of life stages including two larval morphotypes, the pupa of one morphotype, and adults of two species. The pupa of Tychepsephus has not been reported previously. Tychepsephus cekalovicisp. nov. is described, and Ectopria (Chilectopria) grandis Pic, 1947, syn. nov. is proposed as a new synonym of Tychepsephus felix Waterhouse, 1876, which is redescribed. Taxonomic treatment of the adults of both species includes images of the habitus of males and females, morphological variation, and male and female genitalia. Males and females are sexually dimorphic. Information on the habitat of Tychepsephus is provided and illustrated with photographs, and the known geographic distribution of the two species is mapped. The occurrence of Tychepsephus in Argentina is reported; therefore, the genus no longer can be considered endemic to Chile. The taxonomic status and geographic distribution in South America of other species of Psephenidae, particularly members of the subfamily Eubriinae, is reviewed.
La revisión emocional del encuentro médico-terapéutico en M. Balint, P. Freeling y K. Browne (1957-1967)
Authors: León Sanz Pilar
Published: May 2023

Se analiza la perspectiva emocional de la relación médico-paciente y la confianza propia de esta interrelación, a través de publicaciones y relatos médicos de Michael Balint, Kevin Browne y Paul Freeling, aparecidos en la década de 1960. Balint promovió en la clínica Tavistock (Londres) los llamados ‘Grupos Balint’ en los que participaron Browne y Freeling. Sus publicaciones se enmarcan en la aproximación psicoanalítica y psicosomática, enfoque que actualizó la consideración de la persona como un todo y mostró el significado de las emociones en la enfermedad. Balint, Browne y Freeling destacaron el carácter terapéutico de la relación médico-paciente y subrayaron la subjetividad y la participación tanto del profesional como del paciente, en el encuentro médico-paciente. El movimiento Balint y en ese marco, la obra de Browne y Freeling, se sumó a otras que llevaron a promover la integración de lo psicológico y el entorno social en la definición de la enfermedad y en la práctica de la medicina de ese tiempo. El artículo pone de manifiesto los contrastes entre las propuestas de Michael Balint y las planteadas por la Escuela Psicosomática norteamericana y otros movimientos de origen psicoanalítico, respecto a la psicogenia y a la relación médico-paciente.

Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of oleuropein-rich olive leaf extract (OLE) to improve the quality and oxidative stability of sunflower oil subjected to accelerated thermal oxidation. Oleuropein was the major phenolic compound determined by HPLC-DAD with a content ranging from 20.81 to 32.56 mg·g-1 of dry extract (DE). The evaluation of the in vitro antioxidant capacity of OLE showed good scavenging capacity of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) (1.01 and 0.96 mmol Trolox equivalents (ET·g-1 DE, respectively). The enrichment of sunflower oil with 0.1, 0.25 and 0.5% OLE (w/v) significantly inhibited thermal-induced peroxidation in a dose-dependent fashion. 0.25% OLE was the most effective concentration and showed a significant reduction in peroxide value and conjugated dienes by 61.4 and 17.4%. These results indicate that OLE can be considered a good natural alternative for extending the shelf-life of polyunsaturated vegetable oils.
Negotiated Pipelines to Screenwriting Work on The Black List
Authors: Twarog Anthony
Published: May 2023

This article argues that media professionalization services and their customers negotiate the role of aspirants in media industries. Using the screenwriting website The Black List as a case study, this article analyzes the company’s history, interface, promotional materials, and reception, arguing that The Black List has sought to formalize and standardize the professionalization process for aspiring and professional screenwriters alike as part of a broader entrepreneurial effort to digitalize film development writ large, assessing the value of unproduced film projects according to a universal standard. For aspiring media producers, professionalization services like The Black List are not marginal players in media industries but rather the front lines in an ongoing debate about who has the right to make media. While services like The Black List offer users relatively low-risk means to seek professionalization, they also reproduce imbalanced concentrations of media power, often under the guise of democratizing media culture.
Un art neuf : la bande dessinée
Authors: Peeters Benoît
Published: May 2023

Pendant des décennies, la bande dessinée n’a eu aucun nom, ni aucune histoire. Associée à l’enfance et au divertissement, elle était publiée sur des supports éphémères et ne connaissait que rarement les honneurs du livre. D’abord prisée par des collectionneurs nostalgiques des joies de leur enfance, elle a peu à peu gagné en lectorat, puis en prestige.

Benoît Peeters reconstruit le parcours historique d’un genre longtemps déconsidéré et analyse l’évolution du discours à son propos, nous offrant le regard d’un témoin de l’intérieur sur les processus ayant conduit à la reconnaissance du neuvième art.
Un rêve culturel : l’Europe au pluriel
Authors: Bal Mieke
Published: May 2023

L’Europe réunit une grande variété de langues et de cultures. À la fois une et plurielle, elle véhicule un rêve culturel d’intégration. Comment faire vivre ensemble des langues, des littératures, des cultures, en respectant leur diversité ? Mieke Bal aborde cette question en interrogeant les notions de frontières (géographiques, linguistiques, culturelles), d’identité (qu’elle rejette pour sa « fixité »), d’identification. Elle propose un voyage dans la sémiosphère européenne sur les traces de Henri Cartier-Bresson, d’Edvard Munch et d’autres artistes-penseurs, montrant que leurs œuvres donnent corps aux processus d’intergration qu’elle invite à penser. Diversité, union : le débat autour de ces enjeux est essentiel pour la construction de l’Europe.
Recent Progress in Non-Contact Electrical Characterization for SiC and Related Compounds

Published: May 2023

An increasing interest in the non-contact corona charge-based electrical characterization technique, CnCV, for wide bandgap semiconductors, is justified by the reduction of cost and the reduction of testing feedback time [1]. In addition, the technique expands measurement capabilities. Regarding SiC, recent progress includes expanded dopant concentration range and dopant measurement on fresh epitaxial wafers. The latter is made possible with an ultraviolet wafer pretreatment technique [2]. The novel applications to AlGaN/GaN HEMT on insulating substrates demonstrate the benefits of a noninvasive top side edge contact, TSEC [3], that eliminates the problem of the floating surface potential. This development enables a unique three variable, charge-voltage-capacitance (Q-V-C), characterization of AlGaN/GaN on sapphire and SI-SiC. The quasistatic CnCV measurement, not affected by series resistance, is shown to be suitable for wafer mapping of HEMT parameters. The CnCV version with TSEC can be combined with an eddy current technique enabling non-contact 2DEG mobility measurements vs. electron sheet density.

Published: May 2023

The possibility of anodic oxidation of SiC surfaces by a strong, local electric field applied during Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) under ambient conditions is an interesting method to achieve nanopatterning of SiC, but is also a side-effect to be well characterized and controlled during this kind of AFM measurements if used to determine the local electric properties. In this contribution, we will analyze the local electric fields by finite element simulations in order to quantify the effect of the presence of a water meniscus and of an oxide layer on the SiC surface. Furthermore, we will experimentally highlight the strong influence of the local doping on the anodization, leading to the formation of thicker oxide layers at the location of highly doped SiC. Therefore, the location of these areas can be determined by a simple AFM topography scan after the application of a high field, allowing to detect highly doped SiC areas in complex structures as for example SiC MOSFETs.

Published: May 2023

The growing interest for the use of 4H-SiC in photonics is triggering the interest for more accurate characterizations of this semiconductor from the optical and opto-electronic point of view. In this work we report about new measurements run on an undoped 4H-SiC substrate, finalized at determining the precise dependence of its refractive index on temperature in the visible spectrum, and precisely at the wavelength of λ=632.8 nm, in a temperature range from room temperature (RT) to 400K. Measurements are performed by exploiting the properties of a Fabry-Perot cavity interrogated with a laser beam. It is known that the transmitted radiation intensity shows fringes that shift with temperature and the refractive index. By precisely monitoring the transmitted signal, the thermo-optic coefficient dn/dT can be determined with a resolution that approaches 10-6 K-1.
Light Extraction from 4H Silicon Carbide by Nanostructuring the Surface with High Temperature Annealing
Authors: Vuillermet Enora , Usureau Elise , Lazar Mihai , Deturche Regis
Published: May 2023

Nanostructuring of the surface occurs after annealing at high temperature of 4H-SiC samples. The surface morphology becomes needle-shaped like black silicon. The roughness of the surface also increases due to annealing and a slight etching of nanostructured zones occurs with an accentuated phenomenon at the boundaries. Electroluminescence is obtained by applied forward bias on fabricated PIN diode structures with localized nanostructurated windows in surface. Light intensity seems to be more sensitive to the initial orientation of the substrate and less to the annealing temperature in the 1500°C-1700°C range.

Background:

Medication adherence to prescribed medications in chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is influenced by social and economic factors, health-care team/system factors, characteristic of the disease, disease therapies, and physician-related and patient-related factors. Socioeconomic factors of the patients play a major role in adherence to long-term therapies. In view of lack of consistent findings and limited studies, this study aimed to study the socioeconomic factors and quality of life (QOL) and their association with medication adherence in RA.

Materials and Methods:

This is a prospective observational study carried out in a tertiary care hospital from February 2021 to June 2021. The Compliance-Questionnaire-Rheumatology 19 was used to assess adherence with scores ≥80% considered adherent and others nonadherent. QOL was assessed by the WHOQOL-BREF Questionnaire, and socioeconomic factors were determined using the Modified Kuppuswamy’s Socioeconomic Status scale 2020.

Results:

Of the 135 patients (108 females and 27 males) in the study, adherence was observed only in 19.3% (26) and the remaining 80.7% (109) were nonadherent. There was a significant difference (P = 0.013) in the number of medications used among both the groups. Among the socioeconomic factors, though there is difference in occupation of both the groups, it was found be not significant (P = 0.058). There was no association of adherence with any of the four domains of QOL.

Conclusion:

There was no association of medication adherence with socioeconomic factors and QOL in RA.

In order to contribute to the fight against malnutrition and to limit environmental pol-lution, shrimp head autolysis was performed. Resulting fractions were characterised to identify the protein-richest one which was used to improve the nutritional quality of wheat flour-based snacks. Supernatant fraction from shrimp head autolysis (SSHA) was found to have the highest protein content (73.56 ± 0.42%). In addition to 5% and 10% flour substitutions with powder SSHA, the direct use of liquid SSHA was performed against a control. As expected, the protein contents increased after the enrichments. They were similar (P>0.05) for the 5% flour substitution (10.41±0.17%) and the use of liquid SSHA (10.08±0.21%). The proportion was 13.08±0.07% for the 10% flour substi-tution. The fat content increased significantly when the snacks were fortified. SSHA and snacks were of good microbiological quality despite the presence of moulds up to 1.0x102 CFU in the snacks. The use of SSHA in the snacks increased their appreciation. The snacks enriched with liquid SSHA were the most appreciated with a likeness score of 7.34. Liquid SSHA is thus a very interesting form of enrichment from a sensory point of view.
