An Environmental Theory of Industrial Location
Authors: Shankar Sati
Published: December 2023

Untill recent environmental crisis' very little attention was being paid to ecosystem and enironment in techno-economic fields. In most cases the monetary cost of production and distribution occupied a prominent place and decisions concerning establishment industrial units were based on short term economic opportunities rather than long term ecological and environmental considerations. Since the Crisis' has appeared, a great deal of concern has been expressed regarding possible deterioration of some aspects of our society. It is suggested that we are turning our natural gifts, critical materials, fossils, air and water system are being polluted, that foodchains are being disrupted, that cities range from an expressed confidence that technology will overcome difficulty to a call for cessation of economic and population growth. Keywords: Synergetic, hierarchy, instability,reversibility, irreversibility, transformations, energy, transport, black box, recycling, compatibility, design ,capacity, decision space, reduced form equation, cost-benefit, shadow valuation.
Ways of implicit expression of the emotion of discontent and the speech act of accusation in the English-language advertising discourse in the context of brand confrontation
Authors: Shuyskaya Yuliya Viktorovna , Drozdova Ekaterina Aleksandrovna
Published: December 2023

The aim of the research is to identify references to discourse implicature through culturally loaded texts and mythonyms in the context of an “advertising war”. Commercials for electric vehicles and accessories for traditional cars were selected as the research material. The commercials for the latter implicitly contain the idea of criticizing electric vehicles. BMW and Mobil 1 commercials in English were chosen due to the great interest of the audience in the very fact of their appearance: the videos were widely announced and discussed, being a newsworthy event in themselves. The authors of both videos address the general apperceptive base of a potential consumer using mythonyms, references to archetypes embodied in cinema, as well as the lyrics of famous songs. The scientific novelty of the research is accounted for by studying discourse implicature and the means of its expression in the context of an “advertising war”, as well as by carrying out a detailed analysis of implicit meanings transmitted through cultural stereotypes. As a result of the research, it was found that high-quality advertising of our time is increasingly moving away from direct exhortations to buy a product to implicit influence that is understandable to the target audience and arouses interest in the context of the confrontation between brands and types of goods.
Onomasiological characteristics of zoonyms in New Zealand lexical substandard
Authors: Trifanova Svetlana Sergeevna , Titova Olya Zokirovna
Published: December 2023

The research aims to identify the onomasiological properties of zoonyms in New Zealand lexical substandard according to the classificational semantic types of nomination accepted by us, which implies examination of zoonyms from semantics to the ways of their formal expression. It is noted that substandard zoonyms are a means of New Zealand English speakers’ ethnonational individuality. The article gives the definition of the term “New Zealand substandard zoonym”. The work is novel in that it is the first to describe the noted onomasiological properties of New Zealand substandard zoonymic lexemes, which have been little studied in Russian Anglistics, in the context of substandard lexicography. The results obtained during the description showed that (1) the nomination of motivated substandard zoonymic items in New Zealand English can be caused by the distinguishing nonlinguistic features relating to animals’ physiological and behavioral characteristics and their habitat; (2) the process of zoonomination in New Zealand lexical substandard is realized through the models that involve transferring the name and changing the semantic volume of producing lexemes.
pensamento educacional contra-hegemônico na América Latina: algumas considerações comparativas entre a Pedagogia Libertadora e a Pedagogia Histórico-crítica
Authors: Machado Robson
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo, busca-se evidenciar a importância do pensamento educacional contra-hegemônico na América Latina em contexto de crise estrutural do modo de produção capitalista. Observa-se, ante o recrudescimento da ideologia neoliberal e neoconservadora, os ataques perpetrados contra a pedagogia libertadora e a pedagogia histórico-crítica. Argumenta-se que as teorias pedagógicas em questão tornaram-se alvos da racionalidade burguesa em função do seu comprometimento com a educação e a emancipação da classe trabalhadora. Acusa-se a classe dominante de tentar atribuir equivalência entre o pensamento libertador e o histórico-crítico, sonegando as suas diferenças relativas à fundamentação filosófica e às formulações pedagógicas.  À vista disso, toma-se como orientação a produção intelectual de Paulo Freire e Dermeval Saviani, bem como a de seus comentadores e colaboradores, a fim de se estabelecer comparações sumárias entre a pedagogia libertadora e a pedagogia histórico-crítica. Para tanto, elege-se como objeto de análise as concepções de escola, de trabalho educativo, de conhecimento e de liberdade. A partir de uma abordagem teórico-bibliográfica guiada pelo materialismo histórico-dialético, conclui-se em defesa da educação contra-hegemônica e da imprescindibilidade das teorias analisadas para o desenvolvimento de uma prática social mais justa e igualitária.
A teoria crítica de Roberto Schwarz: apresentação resumida
Authors: Renato Bueno Franco
Published: December 2023

O ensaio busca resumir o itinerário da formação da teoria crítica de Roberto Schwarz. Para tanto, destaca três aspectos decisivos de sua formação, a saber: a influência de Theodor Adorno, de Antonio Candido e do grupo de estudos sobre Marx. Nessa direção, examina as principais ideias e aspectos metodológicos elaborados no chamado Seminário de Marx e posteriormente assumidos por Schwarz, dentre as quais se destacam a)nova concepção dialética sobre o progresso; b) a análise dialética da relação entre o Brasil e o cenário internacional, em que os termos se esclarecem respectivamente; c) a formação do capitalismo no Brasil apresentaria uma singularidade, não repetindo a história dos países desenvolvidos, entre outras ideias. Do mesmo modo, é examinada suscintamente a seguir a concepção de forma literária formulada por Antonio Candido, a qual seria rigorosamente assumida por Schwarz, assim como é referida muito brevemente sua análise da obra de Machado de Assis, em que o processo literário brasileiro é entendido em relação ao presente do capitalismo globalmente considerado; nesse movimento, é também configurado criticamente o sentido do golpe civil-militar imposto ao país em 1964. Finalmente, são destacadas as análises sobre o processo social e cultural do país, notadamente o período marcado pelo nacional-desenvolvimentismo, interrompido bruscamente em 1964; na sequência é analisado o ensaio “Fim de século”, no qual Schwarz elabora interpretação sobre o período inaugurado com o fim do referido nacional-desenvolvimentismo, que seria marcado por uma lógica unificada do movimento do capital no plano global, mas que incidiria nos países de industrialização retardatária de modo a provocar o aparecimento de lógica de desagregação social. Por fim, são referidas algumas das obras literárias ou fílmicas que elaboraram criticamente semelhante situação.
O poder humanizador da poesia de Adélia Prado: a arte da contemplação das coisas mínimas
Authors: Barbosa Vanderlei , Jossuí Basílio Mendonça Maia
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo objetiva refletir sobre a função formativa e humanizadora da literatura, especificamente da poesia de Adélia Prado. Partindo do pressuposto do poder humanizador da poesia, cabe-nos mostrar as possibilidades de uma concepção de formação que ultrapasse a dimensão, puramente, epistemológica preocupada em atender às exigências da ciência e da tecnologia, ou seja, procuramos nos atentar para um caminho que não tem como único foco fundamentar o conhecimento pragmático. Com base nessa constatação, afirmamos a necessidade de uma formação do sensível capaz de tocar o ser humano por meio da arte literária, levando-o à arte da contemplação das coisas mínimas que são fontes de alegria e impregnam de sentido a vida.
To the Question of Economic and Material Data during the 1st Year of Deportation 1937 in Kazakhstan and It Affected Korean Material Life

Published: December 2023

According to the opinion of many scholars in Soviet Union and Russia, period of the end of 1920s. to the 1930s. was the most contradictory and tragic in the history of Soviet State. A great place in it takes process, named after repressions, which were held for different reasons and had different slogans. The most tragic of them is persecution based on nationality, which, in its essence, went completely against the claims of Soviet authorities regarding equality among nations. Repercussions of that drama have reached to present day, and besides, still have an influence on politics and ethnic questions in modern Russia.

Нині у світі характеризується новим етапом розвитку науково-технічної революції, що з пошуком альтернативних і відновлюваних джерел енергії, як із напрямів, тобто. із зеленою енергетикою. У цьому ключі йде пошук альтернативних позавуличних видів транспорту без використання вуглеводневої сировини. У цій статті розглядається необхідність використання пасажирської підвісної канатної дороги (ППКД) як повноцінний громадський транспорт найбільшого мегаполісу Республіки Казахстан міста Алмати з населенням 2 млн. чоловік. У перспективі до 2030 року передбачається збільшення кількості жителів міста до 2,5-3 мільйонів. Саме місто знаходиться в гірській улоговині Заілійського Алатау Тянь-Шаню і вичерпало в центральній його частині територіальні можливості розширення. Автомобільний парк особистого транспорту становив 2022 року 700 тис. машин, їх 230 тисяч авто з передмість [1]. Дорожня мережа перевантажена багатогодинними пробками у години пік та громадський транспорт явно не справляється зі своїми функціями з доставки пасажирів. Дані тенденції притаманні більшості мегаполісів усього світу. Тому стали потрібні нові, більш ефективні рішення, і тоді фахівці з транспортних мереж згадали про старі повітряні канатні дороги (ВКД).

Мета. Метою дослідження є розкриття соціальної сутності гейміфікації та особливостей її застосування у різних сферах соціальної економіки, зокрема в маркетингу. Методика дослідження. Під час дослідження використовувалися: методи аналізу і синтезу для актуалізації характеристик гейміфікації як соціального феномена у сучасному економічному середовищі; метод логічного аналізу для систематизації різновиди ігрових механік у маркетингу. Результати. Гейміфікація виникла не лише як спроба залучити увагу аудиторії, а й як засіб мотивації та стимулювання дій. Заснована на ігрових механіках, вона перетворює навколишні завдання та взаємодії на захопливий процес. У сучасному суспільстві, де відчуття конкуренції та досягнень важливі, гейміфікація стала засобом об'єднання людей. Спільні гейміфіковані виклики, програми лояльності та конкурси перетворюються на соціальні події, сприяючи формуванню спільнот та розвитку взаєморозуміння. Водночас маркетингові кампанії, побудовані на принципах гейміфікації, не лише пропонують продукти чи послуги, але і створюють іммерсивне враження. Залучаючи елементи гри, вони стимулюють активну участь споживача та взаємодію з брендом. Тренди гейміфікації постійно змінюються, відображаючи сучасність. Інтерактивність, персоналізація та використання розширеної реальності – це лише деякі з напрямків, які визначають майбутнє гейміфікації у маркетинговій та соціальній сфері. Наукова новизна. Отримав подальший теоретичний розвиток маркетинговий підхід до управління соціально-економічними процесами шляхом розкриття сутності гейміфікації з позиції її трактування не лише як маркетингового інструменту, а й як соціального феномена, що впливає на сприйняття та взаємодію людей з різноманітними сферами життя. Практична значущість. Результати дослідження, зокрема, актуалізовані характеристики гейміфікації як соціального феномена у сучасному економічному середовищі, можуть бути використані при розробці маркетингових стратегій та стратегій соціального розвитку.

Мета. Розробити організаційну модель впровадження концепції сталого розвитку підприємства на рівні портфельного управління. Методика дослідження. Теоретичною і методологічною основою дослідження є праці провідних вітчизняних і зарубіжних науковців, присвячені розгляду питання сталого розвитку взагалі та підприємств зокрема. В роботі використано метод аналізу та синтезу, системний підхід, метод узагальнення, метод порівняння, графічний метод. Результати. У роботі запропоновано розподіл відповідальності між топ-менеджментом компанії (постановка й оновлення стратегічних цілей), офісом з управління проєктами/портфелем проєктів (оцінювання та відбір проєктів, створення пулу проєктів для реалізації стратегічної мети в частині сталого розвитку (СР)), менеджером програми СР (координація діяльності з СР) і функціональними підрозділами (реалізація проєктів і програм СР). Вирішення проблеми підвищення загального рівня СР на рівні портфельного управління має низку переваг: 1. Дозволяє найоптимальнішим способом пов'язати операційну діяльність у частині СР зі стратегічними цілями компанії завдяки використанню моделей селекції проєктів. 2. Знижує ризики незбалансованого розвитку компанії в частині підвищення рівня СР (забезпечує необхідний баланс між удосконаленням показників у частині впливу на економіку, екологію, суспільство) за рахунок використання методів балансування портфеля. 3. Підвищує підзвітність і прозорість діяльності в частині управління СР за наявності ефективно працюючої системи управління портфелем проєктів у компанії. 4. Скорочує витрати на функції управління СР у компанії, реалізуючи їх у межах проєктного офісу і функціональних підрозділів, без створення окремого підрозділу (за обов'язкової наявності менеджера, відповідального за постановку стратегічних цілей у сфері СР компанії). 5. Підвищує статус питання СР у компанії. 6. Дозволяє впровадити принципи СР на всіх рівнях організації, формуючи стратегію СР компанії як згори донизу (постановка цілей топ-менеджментом), так і знизу догори (ініціативи СР від співробітників), а також підвищити залученість співробітників у реалізацію концепції СР компанії. Наукова новизна: Розроблена організаційна модель впровадження концепції сталого розвитку підприємства на рівні портфельного управління, що дозволяє підвищити ефективність формування стратегічної програми сталого розвитку компанії. Практична значущість: запропонована організаційна модель дозволить оптимізувати розподіл ролей у реалізації стратегічної програми СР підприємства для якіснішого управління стійким розвитком компанії на підставі пропонованого проектно-портфельного підходу.

Este trabajo analiza el memorial que, sobre el gobierno y la riqueza de Filipinas y la Molucas,escribió a Felipe III Hernando de los Ríos Coronel, Procurador General de Filipinasentre 1605 y 1617. El texto, publicado en Madrid en 1621 pero redactado unos años antes,encierra interés por varias razones, aunque señalaré solamente tres. La primera, porque seproporcionan «remedios» para gobernar con más eficacia el eje Filipinas-Molucas, conectadoa otras poblaciones de Asia y América. La segunda, porque se ofrecen respuestas a otrosmemorialistas (con estrechos lazos con la Casa de la Contratación de Sevilla) que, con elpropósito de proteger el monopolio mercantil americano de la injerencia de productos deAsia, pretendían intercambiar Brasil por Filipinas. Y la tercera, porque se pone de manifiestola relevancia que tenían la explotación y distribución del clavo de las Molucas.

High MEIS3 Expression Indicates a Poor Prognosis for Patients with Stage II/III Colorectal Cancer
Authors: Ma Jian , Li Haitao , Gao Qianqian , Zhang Weixing , Zhu Changhong , Chen Jian , Ling Yang , Shao Xin , Li Ziyan
Published: December 2023

Background: The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays crucial roles in tumor budding and the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). Myeloid ecotropic viral insertion site 3 (MEIS3)—a direct target of Wnt/β-catenin—promotes vagal neural crest cell migration into the gut tissue during development; however, its role in cancer progression remains unclear. In this study, the role of MEIS3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression was investigated. Methods: We analyzed the association between MEIS3 protein expression and the clinical stages of CRC patients, and the effect on tumor cell migration and invasion by wound healing and transwell assays. Finally, we analyzed the association between MEIS3 expression and the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival of CRC patients through Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results: We found that MEIS3 expression was strongly associated with CRC progression and could be employed to assess DFS in postoperative patients. MEIS3-positive cells were mainly distributed in the growth front and tumor–stroma interface of the CRC tissues, which contain abundant EMT-active and tumor budding cells dominating cancer metastasis. Moreover, MEIS3 promoted CRC cell migration and invasion by regulating effectors including laminin subunit beta 1, matrix metalloprotein 2, and vimentin. MEIS3 protein expression increased with CRC progression according to the clinical stage, which could be used as a biomarker to stratify CRC patients. The 5-year DFS of MEIS3-high patients was poorer than that of MEIS3-low patients (40.6% vs. 61.7%; p < 0.0001). Moreover, the 5-year DFS of stage II patients with MEIS3-high expression (53.4%) was comparable to that of stage III patients with MEIS3-low expression (49.5%), while the 5-year DFS of MEIS3-high patients in stage III (30.9%) was comparable to that of stage IV patients (29.6%). Conclusions: This study showed that MEIS3 can promote cancer cell metastasis and thus may be a promising biomarker for higher rates of recurrence in postoperative patients with stage II/III CRC.

Published: December 2023

Background: The functional ramifications of internal N7-methylguanosine (m7G) modification on RNAs have recently come to light, yet its regulatory influence on long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) during the inflammatory-carcinogenesis transformation process in hepatitis B virus (HBV)-mediated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains largely unexplored. Methods: Clinical surgical samples encompassing HBV-related HCC, comprising both HCC tissue (tumor group, HBV+) and corresponding adjacent liver tissue (paracancerous group, HBV+), were collected for analysis. Additional adjacent normal liver tissues (normal group, HBV-) were acquired from patients with hepatic hemangioma, serving as controls. Employing MeRIP-seq, differential m7G levels of lncRNAs across these groups were compared to identify a subset of lncRNAs exhibiting continuous and dynamic changes in m7G modification. Subsequently, in vitro validation was conducted. Results: A total of 856 lncRNAs exhibited alterations in m7G modification when compared to paracancerous tissue and normal tissue. Similarly, 1775 lncRNAs displayed changes in m7G modification when comparing HCC tissue to paracancerous tissue. For intergroup comparison, orthogonal analysis revealed that 6 lncRNAs consistently demonstrated hyper-m7G modification. In vitro validation confirmed that among these 6 lncRNAs, TEKT4P2 and DNM1P41 exhibited m7G modification-dependent expression. Conclusions: This study provides a comprehensive analysis of lncRNA m7G modification during the inflammatory-carcinogenesis transformation process in HBV-mediated HCC. The findings highlight the potential for multiple lncRNAs to undergo m7G modification changes, with TEKT4P2 and DNM1P41 identified as promising molecular targets within this intricate regulatory landscape.

Published: December 2023

The lack of systematic mapping of water quality in the water areas of Croatian marinas hinders visualization and understanding of potential cumulative impact of marinas on the environment. The main goal of the research subject of this paper is forming an atlas of environmental risks and water area quality in Croatian marinas by implementing model of Marina Environmental Risk Assessment – MERA. Within the implemented model, input data are concrete and current data obtained through the questionnaire submitted to the management structures of Croatian marinas, which is an additional practical value of model and reasearch results. The implemented methodology and risk model of the impact of Croatian marinas on the environment in this paper provides an insight into the current situation and represents a significant basis for managing environmental risks and the quality of water areas in Croatian marinas.
Anchored Ambitions

Greek shipping is the world’s leading power and is well known for its efficiency and performance. The Greek fleet represents almost 21% of the global fleet in terms of capacity (deadweight tonnes – dwt) and 60% of the European Union’s one (Union of Greek Shipowners, 2023). Apart from the entrepreneurship competence of Greek shipowners, the contribution of Greek seafarers to the development of the so-called “Greek maritime miracle" has been decisive. Greek seafarers are known for their seamanship, qualities as well as their skills. However, according to data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority, the number of Greek seafarers is diachronically decreasing. Indicative of this trend is the fact that from 2000 to 2020, the number of Greek seafarers employed in Greek-owned vessels reduced by 45% (18.450 in 2000 vs. 10.087 in 2020). The aim of this research is twofold: first, to identify the reasons for the decreasing trend in the number of the Greek seafarers and, second, to highlight the initiatives and other actions the Greek shipping community could adopt in order to attract highly qualified seafarers to the Greek-owned fleet. In this context, a qualitative study was conducted, the purpose of which was to investigate the views of industry's stakeholders, in respect to the factors that shape the downward trend of seafarers figures. The outcome of this study sheds light on the reasons affecting the attractiveness of seafaring profession and further actions required for addressing promotion gaps.
A Discourse Analysis Approach to Establishing Prevalent Concepts in the Maritime Community
Authors: Dževerdanović Pejović Milena
Published: December 2023

The paper analyses prevalent topics found in narratives of the maritime discourse community in the past seven years, from 2016 to 2022. For this purpose, we compiled a corpus of eighty speeches given by the respected Mr. Kitack Lim, secretary-general of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO). The texts are found on the official IMO website and were delivered on the occasion of significant maritime events. The analysis section combines quantitative and qualitative methods. The sophisticated language program Wordstat was used to determine frequencies, dominant phrases, collocations and prevalent topics. In addition, critical discourse analysis was used to interpret linguistic facts through the lenses of an actual maritime setting. The results reveal how dynamic changes in the maritime discourse community are reflected in narratives. We note how traditional issues in seafaring have been complemented with new perspectives impacted by globalisation, digitalisation, automatisation, issues of social and human rights which have been raised, women’s empowerment, questions of environmental protection and many more. We conclude that the established concepts cannot be demarcated: they are increasingly interdependent and have the seafarer in their focus. We also point to the possibility of future research in the domain of comparative analysis on a sample of larger corpora that could make use of research articles or academic narratives about the maritime discourse community.
THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY IN THE FORMATION OF CHILDREN'S SOCIAL IDENTITY: A SOCIOLOGICAL
Authors: Arizqi Alpad
Published: December 2023

The family as the main social unit has a significant impact in shaping children's social character. Through interactions and experiences within the family, social norms, values and behavior are applied to children from an early age. This abstract examines how family dynamics create an important foundation for the development of children's social identities. Research highlights that interactions within the family not only determine communication patterns, but also form the normative foundations that form the basis for social interactions in wider society. Therefore, understanding the role of the family in shaping children's social character has deep implications for the formation of individuals with social integrity.

GEN Z'S BEHAVIOR TOWARDS HABIB HUSSEIN JA'FAR AL-HADAR'S PROSELYTIZING IN THE JEDA NULIS CHANNEL: ANALYSIS OF B. F. SKINNER’S S-O-R THEORY
Authors: 'Aini Aisyah Nurul
Published: December 2023

This article discusses how Gen Z's behavior towards da'wah was carried out by Habib Husein Ja'far Al-Haddar on the YouTube channel Jeda Nulis. The character of Gen Z who has been influenced by social media has formed them into a generation that lacks ethics, does not respect others, and is less sensitive to the surrounding environment. The spread of Islamic da'wah is very important to direct to be able to know, understand, and believe and have noble morals by practicing Islamic religious teachings derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. The subjects of this study are generation-Z. This study used a quantitative descriptive approach method. Data collection was carried out by conducting interviews with several respondents who had an age range of 1, 7-25 years, n. The results of this study show significant results from the data we obtained.

Published: December 2023

The presence of salt in the snow overlying seasonal sea ice has profound thermodynamic and electromagnetic effects. However, the way that it arrives and is distributed within the marine snowpack remains poorly understood and modelled. We describe two experiments tracing upward brine movement in snow: one laboratory experiment at Rothera research station, West Antarctica, and a field experiment in Hudson Bay, Canada. The laboratory experiments involved the addition of dyed brine to the base of terrestrial snow samples, with subsequent wicking being characterised. After initial and total absorption at the base, the dyed brine migrated further up over nine days, ultimately reaching heights between 2.5 & 6 cm. Our field experiment involved dye being added directly (without brine) to bare sea ice and lake ice surfaces, with snow then accumulating on top over several days. On the sea ice, the dye migrated upwards into the snow by up to 5 cm as the snow's basal layer became more salty, whereas no dye migration occurred in our control experiment over lake ice. Upward dye migration and basal salinification over the sea ice occurred in relatively dry snowpacks where brine inclusions took up between 0.5 & 5.8% of the snow's pore volume.
On Cronbach’s merger: Why experiments may not be suitable for measuring individual differences

In his 1956 APA Presidential Address, Lee Cronbach called for a merging of differential and experimental psychology. One main component was the use true experiments from experimental psychology to study individual differences. True experiments had control conditions, and used statistical contrasts to define effects that were free of nuisance variation. Cronbach reasoned that such experimentally defined effects would have greater construct validity than raw performance scores. Cronbach's merger has been repeatedly attempted, but the results have been lackluster, especially for measuring individual differences in cognitive control. Here we show through simulation that the merger is difficult because experimentally-defined contrasts are too noise-prone to be useful at the individual level. As a consequence, it is difficult to uncover even simple latent structures such as clusters or factors. To explore the merger, we provide a new measure of task goodness that is invariant across experiments with different numbers of people and, most importantly, trials. This new measure is a signal-to-noise ratio; how variable people are relative to how variable noise is in repeated trials. We survey the literature to establish typical SNR levels, which are then used in simulations. Latent cluster or factor structures were only recoverable in the largest of experiments comprising hundreds of people each observing hundreds of trials in each condition for each task, and only for the simplest structures. These disappointing results serve as a warning. Although Cronbach's merger is a great idea in theory, it faces substantial hurdles in practice.
Connectome-based predictive modelling estimates individual cognitive status in Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Ysbæk-Nielsen Alexander Tobias
Published: December 2023

AbstractIntroduction: The progressive nature of Parkinson’s disease (PD) affords emphasis on accurate early-stage individual-level assessment of risk and intervention appropriateness. In PD, cognitive impairment (CI) may follow or precede motor symptoms but are generally underdetected. In addition to impeding daily functioning and quality of life, CIs increase the risk for later conversion to dementia, providing a pressing need to develop novel tools to detect and interpret them. Connectome-based predictive modelling (CPM) is an emerging machine-learning approach to individual prediction that holds translational promise due to its noninvasiveness and simple implementation. The aim of this study was to investigate CPM’s potential to predict and understand CIs in PD.Methods: Resting-state functional connectivity from 58 patients with PD of varying cognitive status was used to train a CPM-model to predict a global cognitive composite (GCC) score. The model was validated using cross-validation, permutation testing, and internal stability analyses. The combined predictive strength of two brain connectivity networks, positive and negative, directly and inversely correlated with GCC, respectively, was assessed.Results: The model significantly predicted individual GCC scores, r = .63, pperm < .05. Separately, the positive and negative networks were similar in performance, rs ≥ .58, ps < .05, but varied in anatomical distribution.Conclusions: This study identified a connectome predictive of cognitive scores in PD, with features overlapping with established and emerging evidence on aberrant connectivity in PD-related CIs. Overall, CPM appears promising for clinical translation in this population, but longitudinal studies with out-of-sample validation are needed.
Reduced contextual uncertainty facilitates learning what to attend to and what to ignore
Authors: Jungerius Chris , Perizonius S. , Slagter Heleen A
Published: December 2023

Variability in the search environment has recently been shown to affect the ability to learn to ignore salient distractors, as attentional capture is reduced when search context variability is low, but remains when it is high. However, it is unclear whether this reduction in capture in low context variability conditions is caused by contextual learning (due to repeated search contexts) or other mechanisms that facilitate generic context-structure learning. To test this, we conducted a preregistered study in which participants (n=200) performed two sessions of a visual search task, in which they gained experience with a small subset of search displays. As expected, in this low context variability condition, capture of attention by colour singletons significantly reduced over time. In a subsequent third session, we, then, tested participants on a mix of familiar and novel search displays and examined whether the reduction in capture was specific to familiar displays, indicative of contextual cueing effects, or would generalise to novel displays. We found no capture by the singleton in either the familiar or novel condition, indicative of transfer of learning. Our findings, thus, suggest that reduced contextual volatility may have reduced capture by allowing the development of generic predictions about task structure present across search displays. These findings add to the current debate about the determinants of capture by salient distractors by showing that learning to ignore is also affected by generic task regularities, dependent on the volatility of the learning environment.
Latent Variable Modeling of Scientific Impact: Estimation of the Q Model Parameters with Structural Equation Models
Authors: Forthmann Boris , Nestler Steffen
Published: December 2023

Statistical modeling of scientific productivity and impact provides insights into bibliometric measures used also to quantify differences between individual scholars. The Q model decomposes the log-transformed impact of a published paper into a researcher capacity parameter and a random luck parameter. These two parameters are then modeled together with the log-transformed number of published papers (i.e., an indicator of productivity) by means of a trivariate normal distribution. In this work we propose a formulation of the Q model that can be estimated as a structural equation model. The Q model as a structural equation model allows to quantify the reliability of researchers’ Q parameter estimates, it can be extended to incorporate person covariates, and multivariate extensions of the Q model could also be estimated. We empirically illustrate our approach to estimate the Q model and also provide openly available code for R and Mplus.
Chemical-computational comparison of organometallic complexes in oxygen carriers and their incidence on blood color

Blood typically carries small amounts of molecular oxygen (O2) dissolved in the plasma and large amounts chemically combined with hemoglobin. Partial pressure depends only on physically dissolved oxygen, which determines how much oxygen will combine with hemoglobin. The blood needs an O2 carrier in humans because this gas is not sufficiently soluble in the blood plasma to satisfy the body's requirement. At 37 ºC, a liter of blood only dissolves 2.3 mL of O2. However, one liter of blood contains 150 g of hemoglobin, and since each gram of hemoglobin dissolves 1.34 mL of O2, 200 mL of O2 are transported per liter of blood. This quantity is 87 times more than what plasma could carry by itself. Without an O2 carrier like hemoglobin, blood would have to circulate 87 times faster, requiring a high-pressure pump, turbulent flow, and a considerable ventilation-perfusion mismatch. This is why other transporter molecules exist in various organisms, giving each of them a representative color. This is how it is in the human being that blood is red; in spiders, crustaceans, mollusks, octopuses, and squids, the blood is blue; in some segmented worms, some leeches, and some marine worms, there is green blood; finally, in marine worms and brachiopods, the blood is violet.
Impact of Intellectual Capital on Firms’ Performance: With Perspective of Commercial Banks in Chitwan
Authors: Shrestha Udaya Kumar
Published: December 2023

Intellectual Capital (IC) is a term that refers to a firm's strategic assets that assist to enhance the performance. The main purpose of this research is to examine the impact of Intellectual Capital on firms' performance in with perspective of banking sectors. To assess the many aspects that can potentially have an impact on the performance of the firm, previous research and necessary documentation relating intellectual capital and its associated factors were reviewed. Similarly, descriptive and casual comparative research design were used. The population of this study is employees of commercial banks in Chitwan who hold the position of branch manager and/or above. To meet the objectives of this study, google form questionnaire was administered and sent to 75 branch managers. Out of which 48 responses were completed which were taken as sample that included tick mark questions, multiple-choice questions, and 5-point Likert scale questionnaires. The approach of non-probability purposive sampling was used. The dependent variable is firm performance, while the independent variable is Intellectual Capital (human, structural and customer capital). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and SD) and inferential statistics (correlation coefficient, multiple regression). The finding showed that customer capital was one of the most important determinants of a firm's performance, but structural capital and human capital were not statistically significant predictors at the 5% level of significance. This study may be a valuable piece of research works for academicians, practitioners, and the management body of any concerned organizations.

Published: December 2023

Chinese pond-heron (Ardeola bacchus) is a vagrant species in Nepal. We present the first record of Chinese pond-heron from Maidi Lake of Lake Cluster of Pokhara Valley (LCPV), Kaski, Nepal as well as the second record for the species in Nepal itself. Similarly, we recorded 100 bird species around Maidi Lake. We photographed black bittern (Ixobrychus flavicollis) for the first time, an overall second record, for the Pokhara Valley. We monitored the Chinese pond-heron from a vantage point and used a trail around Maidi Lake as a transect for assessing the species richness of birds in the area. Chinese pond-heron was recorded five times in a span of 23 field observation days between 20 May and 11 June 2023. Including this record, Chinese pond-heron is recorded from four districts- Dhanusha, Chitwan, Kaski and Kanchanpur in Nepal.
