Daily Life Methods in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood Studies in Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia: A Scoping Review
Authors: Šutić Lucija , Novak Miranda
Published: October 2023

Daily life methods are a novel approach that grasps dynamics when studying various research topics. Although several international systematic reviews and meta-analyses demonstrate their popularity in studies of adolescence, it remains unclear whether daily life methods are also used to study development in different cultures. Therefore, the main aim of this review is to examine the frequency of use of daily life methods in studies of adolescence and emerging adulthood published in Croatian, Serbian, and Slovenian journals. Based on two inclusion criteria, with one being that a study should implement an experience sampling method or an ecological momentary assessment, and the other being that participants should be younger than 30 years, a search of five regional databases yielded only six research papers. The included studies implemented an experience sampling method, following recommendations from the literature. Thus, daily life methods do not yet seem to be recognized in Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia, and efforts should be made to promote them to both researchers and practitioners. These methods can not only help us understand the differences between people, as well as the changes within a person, but they can also be the basis for tailored interventions, such as changing eating and sleeping habits.

Authors:   Department of Labor Law Ural State Law University named after V.F. Yakovlev, Yekaterinburg, Belozerova K.A.
Published: October 2023

Corporate requirements for work are becoming more and more popular in practice. Their implementation is determined by various goals: from increasing the effectiveness of safety measures to creating a favorable image of the company's employee. However, from a legal point of view, these requirements are either legitimate in nature or applied to achieve unlawful purposes. The work considers the most common requirements for employees in the system of labor law rules. These include requirements for the appearance of the employee, for limited consumption of goods and services of competitors of the employer, exclusion or restriction of activities competing with the activities of the employer. With regard to measures that are generally recognized as permissible, the need to improve legal regulation is determined.
The importance of the professionalism of the personnel service for the employer (in disputes about the dismissal of employees)
Authors:   Department of Labor Law Ural State Law University named after V.F. Yakovlev, Yekaterinburg, Kozina E.V.
Published: October 2023

Labor disputes about reinstatement, especially of employees dismissed at the initiative of the employer, indicate that in most cases the employer fails to prove compliance with the procedure established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Mistakes are made by employees of personnel services at the stage of the beginning of registration of personnel documents. Judicial practice today demonstrates the importance of having high-quality and qualified lawyers and HR specialists. And how bad it is that employers save on them, because, getting into a labor dispute in court, the employer loses the case and incurs even more costs.
A Cohort Comparison Study of Private Education Costs and Time among South Korean High School Students: Focusing on the Effect of School Closure during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors:   INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH, Kum Jong-ye , Mo Youngmin
Published: October 2023

This study analyzed changes in private education costs and time of high school students in the 2013 cohort, who experienced a school closure event, with those of the 2005 cohort using data from the 5th (2009) and 6th (2010) waves of the Korea Educational Longitudinal Study (KELS) and the 7th (2019) and 8th (2020) waves of the KELS 2013 cohort. Considering that the private education pattern may differ depending on students' educational conditions, additional analysis was conducted on discriminatory effects based on household income and regional size.
The analysis revealed that the school closure event had a positive effect on both private education expenditure and time. Specifically, it increased the average monthly private education expenditure of students in general high schools by approximately KRW 88,000 and the average weekly private education time by about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Furthermore, this effect was consistent across all subgroups classified by income level and regional size. Based on the results, policy recommendations were made to improve existing policies to reduce private education expenses and alleviate the burden on vulnerable groups, as well as to provide practical support to supplement learning deficits.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) has the potential to stimulate economic growth and create employment opportunities. The recent significant decline in FDI inflows within Asean+3 (AS3) countries raise concerns about its potential impact on regional economic development. Numerous prior studies have examined a wide range of factors that can affect FDI, including interest rate, market size, inflation, and infrastructure. Notably, innovation has been overlooked as a potential factor in these previous studies. In this review, the patent serves as a proxy for innovation. The sophistication of the research and development can be of interest to foreign investors. This study examines whether improvements in terms of research and development can significantly affect foreign direct investment in the region. Based on previous empirical research, the results the decision is not yet conclusive for determinants of FDI inflows in AS3 countries. However, it's worth highlighting that there is currently a dearth of research in the context of AS3 countries on this subject. For the sake of examining the long-run relationship between the independent and dependent variables the auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is applied in this study.

Authors: Abdul Razak Farihana , Wan Ismail Wan Nurul Fatihah
Published: October 2023

Higher education institutions offer students a chance to pursue their studies and become experts in their respective areas. During their studies in institutions, as students, they are bound by the institution’s regulations to enhance or uphold harmony and moral standard. Regrettably, some students take the rules laid down by the institution for granted by committing offences that infringe upon the regulations. If there are reasonable cases to accuse, the students will be presented before the institution’s disciplinary board. The disciplinary board will hear the fact of the case and decide on the proper penalty for the offence committed. During a disciplinary proceeding, a student may be given a chance to apologise on their offence. The objective of this paper is to discuss the effect of apology in student disciplinary proceedings. This study employs qualitative research involving conceptual discussion and library research. The sincerity of the accused students in regretting their actions and apologising has been observed to have an effect on the panel’s decision to reduce the penalties.

Published: October 2023

Debata publiczna o Ukraińcach w Polsce przez długi czas była związana z imigracją ekonomiczną. Eskalacja wojny Rosji z Ukrainą spowodowała, że wiele osób uchodźczych z Ukrainy poszukuje w Polsce schronienia. Celem badania jest przedstawienie wizerunków osób uchodźczych wyłaniającego się z debaty na grupach na Facebooku skupionych na pomocy im. Wizerunki te zestawiamy z badaniami prowadzonymi do tej pory i porównujemy ich zmianę. Aby zebrać materiał badawczy, użyliśmy narzędzia Crowdtangle, a następnie do analizy tematycznej - programu Atlas.ti. Wyniki ujęliśmy w trzy główne tematy dotyczące: bohaterstwa walczących w Ukrainie, płci osób uchodźczych oraz roszczeniowości. Wizerunki te są mocno związane ze społecznymi rolami płciowymi i odznaczają się pozytywnym nastawieniem do Ukraińców i Ukrainek. Jednak przypisywana niektórym uchodźczyniom roszczeniowość, związana często z aspektami ekonomicznymi, wpływa na ich negatywny odbiór.

W mgnieniu migawki. Nowe życie trików Eadwearda Muybridge’a
Authors: Gruenpeter Natalia
Published: October 2023

Celem artykułu jest ukazanie roli, jaką w wypracowaniu sztuczki z lewitacją odegrała twórczość Eadwearda Muybridge’a, a także szeroko rozumiana fotografia migawkowa, doskonalona w końcu XIX w. między innymi przez braci Lumière. Autorka akcentuje wizualną fascynację spektakularnymi obrazami ciała zawieszonego w powietrzu, która może przybierać rozmaite formy: od efektu zatrzymania ruchu, nasuwającego na myśl także zamrożenie czasu, przez sugestię zawieszenia prawa ciążenia, aż do wizualizacji różnych wymiarów czasowych możliwej dzięki filmowej mobilizacji spojrzenia. Czyniąc punktem wyjścia pokrewieństwo między studiami Muybridge’a a efektem bullet time, autorka przygląda się także związkom między różnymi wariantami sztuczki funkcjonującymi na przełomie XIX i XX w. oraz współcześnie. Popularność tego motywu we współczesnej kulturze audiowizualnej Gruenpeter rozpatruje nie tylko na przykładzie wybranych filmów, ale i w kontekście rekreacyjnego nurtu fotografii oraz sztuki iluzjonistycznej.
Ciało biologiczne vs. ciało ekranowe – dynamika napięć w kinie efektów specjalnych
Authors: Stasieńko Jan
Published: October 2023

Kino trikowe od swoich początków pozwalało modyfikować i rozszerzać właściwości ludzkiego (jak również nie-ludzkiego) ciała pokazywanego na ekranie. To, co w końcowym obrazie filmowym stawało się ciałem nadludzkich herosów, hybrydą elementów ludzkich i nieludzkich, ciałem zwielokrotnionym, jak również ciałem okaleczonym, przekładało się w historii kina i w jego współczesnych praktykach cyfrowych także na budowę skomplikowanych techniczno-biologicznych aparatów, w których ciała aktorów i innych istot żywych biorących udział w realizacji dzieła filmowego były poddawane różnorodnym rekonfiguracjom, absorbcji elementów wirtualnych, a także swego rodzaju presjom i napięciom. Owe napięcia wymagały od ciał biologicznych i ich agentów przystosowywania się do aparatu, wypracowywania technik negocjacji, czasem wiązały się z różnorodnymi ograniczeniami, a nawet z cierpieniem. Dialektyka ciała ekranowego i biologicznego zostaje w artykule przedstawiona w perspektywie historycznej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem kina współczesnych efektów cyfrowych. Stasieńko omawia wybrane techniki realizacyjne, w których uwidacznia się dyskurs napięć między technologią a ciałem, np. wybrane formy protetyki filmowej i charakteryzacji, technologie unieruchamiające ciała aktorów, konkurencyjne modele budowania ciał ekranowych (wirtualne i biologiczne odpowiedniki).
Tom Tykwer – wizjoner kina
Authors: Włodek Patrycja
Published: October 2023

Recenzja książki Obrazo-światy, dźwięko-przestrzenie. Kino Toma Tykwera (2016) autorstwa Ewy Fiuk. Włodek zwraca uwagę, że recenzowana publikacja nie jest tradycyjną monografią Tykwera, ani tym bardziej jego biografią. Ewa Fiuk, znawczyni współczesnego kina niemieckiego, nie idzie utartą ścieżką omawiania „życia i twórczości” oraz chronologicznego analizowania kolejnych filmów. Zamiast tego koncentruje się na wątkach i obsesjach obecnych w twórczości tego reżysera, a także na kwestiach technicznych. Recenzentka detalicznie prezentuje budowę książki i zawartość poszczególnych rozdziałów, a jednocześnie poddaje je konstruktywnej krytyce. W ocenie Patrycji Włodek wielką zaletą tej książki jest dająca o sobie znać biegłość Fiuk w kwestiach technologicznych, które nie doczekały się w Polsce zbyt obszernej literatury. W zakończeniu pojawia się sugestia, że publikacja ta może być zajmująca nie tylko dla czytelników zainteresowanych kinem Tykwera bądź współczesną kinematografią niemiecką, ale również dla osób szukających mniej konwencjonalnego podejścia do zagadnienia kina autorskiego oraz spragnionych przystępnych analiz kwestii technologicznych.
Reinvention of Padishah-i Islam in the Visual Representations of Ghazan Khan
Authors: Latifkar Azade
Published: October 2023

This article discusses how the visualization of Mahmud Ghazan, the sixth Ilkhanid ruler, was employed to construct and propagate his image as the Padishah-i Islam (King of Islam), thus justifying him both as king of Iranshahr (land of Iran) and the legitimate successor of the Prophet Muhammad. In a quest for visual translations of the Ilkhanid concept of Padishah-i Islam—an inseparable combination of the Persian notion of ideal kingship and prophethood—several illustrations from the Diez albums representing Ghazan or events of his reign have been identified, two of which have become subject to detailed iconographic analyses.
Two approaches to the visualization of Ghazan as Padishah-i Islam can be considered here. The first is Ghazan’s birth scene where the visual narrative is covered in various formal and semantic layers; transformed into a symbolic narrative of a holy birth associated with those of the prophets. The second appears in the scene of Ghazan’s enthronement, probably once illustrated as an unknown manuscript’s frontispiece, the images’ composition and components appear as a visual panegyric poem which applies an elaborate visual language that elevates Ghazan to the level of a divine king.
Reflection of Identity in the Mirror of Narrative Images
Authors: Boozari Ali
Published: October 2023

The concept of “Just Rule” historically served to shape a king’s image and bolster the monarchy’s structure, often emulated by courtiers seeking to be part of the inner circle and perpetuating the idea of a Just Ruler. Influenced by the king’s interests, figures like Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar (r. 1848-1896) fostered monarchic strength through praises and art, particularly in the Nasiri era.
These illustrations, blending literature and visual art, became sought-after for adorning manuscripts and enhancing printed books during this period. This study examines Nasir al-Din Shah's portrayal in the One Thousand and One Nights manuscript (1852-1859), overseen by Abul-Hassan Ghaffari, Saniʿ al-Mulk (d. 1865). Characters resembling Nasir al-Din Shah appear throughout the manuscript. The study aims to analyze these images in relation to the manuscript’s content and their role in the discourse on portrait illustrations. Additionally, it explores how the idea of Just Rule was perpetuated by the patrons and artists involved in creating this manuscript.
Ultrasound-Guided Clavipectoral Fascial Plane Block for Clavicle Surgery: A Case Report
Authors: Yadav Archana , Prasad Sharma Ram , Thapa Magar Kiran , Dhoj Joshi Abinash
Published: October 2023

The clavicle is a frequently fractured bone. Regional anesthesia for clavicle surgeries is always challenging due to its complex innervation arising from the two plexuses (cervical and brachial). The clavipectoral fascial plane block (CPB) is a novel, procedure-specific, phrenic-sparing, and motor-sparing RA technique that can provide anesthesia or analgesia for clavicle surgeries. The clavipectoral fascial plane block was introduced by Dr. Luis Valdes in a symposium at the 2017 European Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Therapy Congress.  We performed an ultrasound-guided Clavipectoral plane block (CPB) with intravenous sedation provided in a 48-year-old male patient with a right mid-shaft clavicle fracture with COPD. This in-plane technique was used to deposit 30 ml of a local anesthesia mixture between the clavipectoral fascia and periosteum on both the medial and lateral sides of the fracture line.
Deconstruction, Imperialism and the West Indian Novel
Authors: Griffith Glyne A.
Published: October 2023

This book provides an analysis of the West Indian novel in the context post- structuralism. The author sets up a dialogue between West Indian intellectual practice as exemplified by thinkers such as George Lamming, C. L. R. James, and E. Kamau Brathwaite, and the discussions privileged by Foucault and Derrida as they examine what might be called the will to identity. The work demonstrates that many West Indian novels implicitly prefigured deconstructive practice as elucidated by Jacques Derrida. In addition, it observes that the powerful hegemony of imperialism, as ubiquitous in the Caribbean as the tropical sunshine, needs to be included in any aesthetic equation which focuses on the West Indian novel. As such, Michel Foucault's critique of power and epistemic violence is interwoven with Derrida's analyses of a metaphysics of exclusion. Eschewing a chronological approach, the work concludes with textual analyses which provide the reader with insight into theory as well as practice.

Impact of the GINA asthma guidelines 2019 revolution on local asthma guidelines and challenges: special attention to the GCC countries
Authors: Allehebi Riyad , AL-Jahdali Hamdan
Published: October 2023

The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) provides the most comprehensive and frequently updated guidelines for the management of asthma. The primary aim of guidelines is to bridge the gap between research and current medical practice by presenting the best available evidence to aid clinical decision-making, thereby improving patient outcomes, quality of care, and cost-effectiveness. Guidelines are particularly useful in situations where scientific evidence is limited, multiple treatment options exist, or there is uncertainty about the best course of action. However, due to variations in healthcare system structures, many countries have developed their own local guidelines for the management of asthma. Adoption of GINA recommendations into local guidelines has been uneven across different countries, with some embracing the changes while others continue to follow older approaches. This review article will explore the impact of the noteworthy changes in GINA guidelines, particularly in the 2019 version, on local guidelines and some of the challenges associated with implementing them.
The Effect of Settlement District on the Price of Row houses: Focused on Jeju-do
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Society, Yang Young Jun
Published: October 2023

In this study, the effect of settlement district on the price and price increase rate of the row houses in Jeju-do was analyzed.
In the price determinants of row houses, the larger the area of exclusive use space and the higher the living floor, the higher the price, and the lower the price over time. The total floor area of the row house complex and the number of parking spaces per household have a positive effect on the price, and the larger the remaining building-to-land ratio, the lower the price. The price of row houses in Seogwipo-si is higher than that of Jeju-si, the price of row houses in the settlement district is higher than that of non-settlement district, and there is a price difference depending on the adjacent road.
In the price increase determinants of row houses, the area of exclusive use space did not affect the price increase, and the longer the construction is completed, the larger the total floor area, and the higher the number of parking per household, the higher the price increase rate. There was no difference between Jeju-si and Seogwipo-si in terms of price increase determinants, and row houses in the settlement district had a higher price increase rate than non-settlement district, and adjacent road did not affect the price increase rate.
Through the results of this study, it is necessary to review the reflection of the price magnification for the settlement district when calculating individual land prices and development charges. In addition, row house consumers need to check whether it is a settlement district.

Authors:   Korea Real Estate Society, Kim Jeong Kyu , Hwang Jae Hong , Lee Myeong Hun
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine how excessive the reconstruction levy is in the reconstruction maintenance project, what the cause of such excessive charge is calculated, and to study the solution. The development levy and reconstruction levy of the development levy system, which became the basis of the reconstruction levy system, are very similar in purpose, nature, and calculation method, but the difference in actual burden is excessive, raising concerns about equity and balance. In this regard, this study examines the contents of unreasonable charges through literature analysis and case analysis of reconstruction project areas in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, where reconstruction charges are scheduled to be imposed recently, and proposes solutions from various aspects. The reconstruction levy is generally high regardless of regional factors, such as Seocho, Gangnam, and non-Gangnam areas, complex size, and apartment price level. It needs to be rationally improved. In order to reasonably calculate the reconstruction levy, various measures were proposed to ensure objectivity and fairness by matching the calculation standards and market price reflection rate of the housing price at the start and end of the reconstruction, and by calculating through a specialized institution. In the current real estate market, which is suffering from serious side effects due to the lack of supply of newly built apartments, we hope to achieve the goals of stabilizing real estate prices, sound development of the national economy, and social integration through institutional improvements.

As of the end of 2020, Korea has entered a full-scale population decline in which the country's total population is declining due to the dead-cross phenomenon, which is the highest in history, with more deaths than births. The government is actively promoting population decline response policies and designating 89 population decline areas. It is necessary to promote efficient projects according to the characteristics of population decline regions. Therefore, this paper conducted a cluster analysis by selecting indicators based on the population decline index, which was the basis for the designation of population decline areas, and completed a regional characteristic analysis for 89 areas selected by the local government based on the population decline index and categorized them into three clusters to analyze the characteristics of each cluster and suggest policy response directions. Cluster 1 showed that policies to prevent the departure of declining businesses in the area, the supply of new housing, and the provision of welfare facilities for the elderly were required. Cluster 2 required settlement support policies for the settlement of the daytime population, the creation of welfare facilities for the elderly and vulnerable, and support policies for the stable settlement of businesses. Cluster 3 explored policies for the welfare of the elderly, the supply of new housing, the maintenance of vacant houses, the expansion of local finances, and the support of urban-to-rural Migration. These results can be used as a basis for establishing a policy direction for responding to population decline that considers the differences in regional characteristics of population decline areas.

Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNBs) represent a rare variant of biliary tumors characterized by a papillary growth within the bile duct lumen. Since their first description in 2001, several classifications have been proposed, mainly based on histopathological, radiological and clinical features, although no specific guidelines addressing their management have been developed. Bile duct neoplasms generally develop through a multistep process, involving different precursor pathways, ranging from the initial lesion, detectable only microscopically, i.e. biliary intraepithelial neoplasia, to the distinctive grades of IPNB until the final stage represented by invasive cholangiocarcinoma. Complex and advanced investigations, mainly relying on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cholangioscopy, are required to reach a correct diagnosis and to define an adequate bile duct mapping, which supports proper treatment. The recently introduced subclassifications of types 1 and 2 highlight the histopathological and clinical aspects of IPNB, as well as their natural evolution with a particular focus on prognosis and survival. Aggressive surgical resection, including hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy or both, represents the treatment of choice, yielding optimal results in terms of survival, although several endoscopic approaches have been described. IPNBs are newly recognized preinvasive neoplasms of the bile duct with high malignant potential. The novel subclassification of types 1 and 2 defines the histological and clinical aspects, prognosis and survival. Diagnosis is mainly based on MRI and cholangioscopy. Surgical resection represents the mainstay of treatment, although endoscopic resection is currently applied to nonsurgically fit patients. New frontiers in genetic research have identified the processes underlying the carcinogenesis of IPNB, to identify targeted therapies.

Hand dynamometry is a technique frequently used in physiological and clinical studies. To determine maximum hand strength, several test attempts are made. Establishing the necessary and sufficient number of these attempts will help to avoid fatigue that can occur during the test and allow researchers to record other parameters as well. The purpose of this paper was to determine the number of hand dynamometry attempts sufficient to record maximum voluntary strength. Materials and methods. The study involved 24 male students aged 19.04 ± 1.37 years who made three hand dynamometry attempts before and after the experimental (modified Stroop test) or control (watching a neutral film) tasks. Differences between the attempts were assessed, as well as the relative reliability of repeated tests using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results. No differences in dynamometry results between the experimental and control groups were observed; therefore, to determine reliability of repeated testing, the entire sample was considered, without division into groups. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.006) between the 1st and 2nd attempts before completing the tasks were detected; whereas between the 2nd and 3rd attempts before as well as between all attempts after completing the tasks, no significant differences were found. At the same time, retest reliability of this method was observed between all attempts (ICC = 0.852–0.930). Thus, we believe that in hand dynamometry it is necessary to either include a preliminary warm-up similar to the main physical task or choose the best attempt of the first two.

The harsh climatic conditions of the subarctic regions of Russia, followed by lifestyle and nutritional changes, put a strain on the adaptive self-regulation mechanisms of newcomers. Acclimatization of foreign students coming to these regions, along with a high mental load and significant lifestyle modifications as well as alimentary and behavioural habits, can lead to homeostatic failure, in particular, folate metabolism disorder. It is known that both genetic (alleles determining the characteristics of folate and homocysteine metabolism) and phenotypic (nutritional and behavioural) factors play an important role in regulating folate metabolism. The purpose of this study was to analyse the folate status of ethnic Indians living in a subarctic region of Russia. Materials and methods. A prospective cross-sectional population-based study was conducted on a sample of ethnic Indians (n = 117) studying at Northern State Medical University in the city of Arkhangelsk. An analysis was performed of the relationship between folate levels and the duration of living in the subarctic region of Russia, body mass index, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake and nutritional status. The results of the study showed that folate levels in Indian students living in Arkhangelsk decreased significantly (from 10.0 [9.325; 13.65] ng/ml in the first year to 4.00 [4.00; 6.00] ng/ml in the sixth year of study; р < 0.001). This can be associated with changes in their diet (less vegetables), smoking and alcohol consumption, which are risk factors for impaired homocysteine metabolism and, as a consequence, for adverse vascular events. The significant folate deficiency in Indian students during their residence in subarctic conditions requires taking a number of measures aimed to prevent maladjustment disorders of folate metabolism in foreign students, which include quality of life, health and nutritional status controls as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including giving up bad habits.

This study evaluates the potential for agritourism development in Binh Dinh Province, Central Vietnam. The analytical hierarchical process is used to determine the weights of four factors with 25 measurement criteria to assess agritourism potential. The research results show that Binh Dinh Province has great agritourism potential based on four evaluation factors, including (1) local agricultural tourism resources, (2) the trend for agritourism development and the agritourism market, (3) the local community’s willingness, and (4) the supporting activities of the local government. In particular, the local agricultural tourism resources factor received the highest score, followed by the local community’s willingness and the supporting activities of the local government. The trend for agritourism development and the agritourism market was rated the lowest. Therefore, Binh Dinh has viable opportunities to encourage the growth of agritourism to improve farmers’ livelihoods
