Pojem a teorie charismatu Maxe Webera v recepci sociálních a historických věd
Authors: Rychterová Pavlína
Published: November 2022

Pojem charismatické autority a charismatického vůdcovství, tak jak byl rozvinut v dílech Maxe Webera, zůstává v sociálních vědách kontroverzním tématem. Článek pojednává vybrané případy dopadu tohoto pojmu, zejména ve vztahu k historickým vědám. Samotný termín charisma byl od počátku problematizován, především ve svém původním významu jako dar Boží – což vycházelo z Nového zákona a především Listů apoštola Pavla. Další obtíže vzešly ze současného užívání pojmu, protože s rozvojem moderních médií pronikl termín charisma do novinářského newspeaku, jazyka komerčního a politického marketingu a pseudovědeckého žargonu populární psychologicko-esoterické vzdělávací literatury. V dnešní sociologii a historických vědách se reakce na Weberův pojem charismatu pohybuje mezi těmito dvěma póly. V poslední době byla otázka charismaticky legitimizované autority převzata medievalisty a ukazuje se jako přínosná v mnoha oblastech.

Published: November 2022

Objectives

Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are associated with several autoimmune diseases. Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells is the golden standard for ANA detection in the clinic. In case of a positive HEp-2 IIF test result, follow-up tests are done to determine autoantibody specificity. For a fraction of the HEp-2 IIF-positive samples, the nature of the autoantigens remains uncharacterized. Our objective was to characterize autoantigens in such samples.

Methods

To characterize autoantigens in an unbiased way, we combined protein immunoprecipitation with liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) sequencing.

Results

Using such approach we detected the Ki antigen, also referred to as PA28γ, in the immunoprecipitate of serum samples of three individuals with an autoimmune disease. The HEp-2 nuclear speckled IIF fluorescent signal of all three serum samples was abolished after pre-absorption of the serum with recombinant Ki antigen, confirming that autoantibodies against Ki underlie the HEp-2 IIF signal.

Conclusions

Our data suggest that anti-Ki autoantibodies can underlie a nuclear speckled HEp-2 IIF pattern.

A simple and inexpensive auto combustion procedure was used to create the Bi1-xDyxFeO3 (x=0.0, 0.015, 0.03, 0.045, 0.060) multiferroics samples. In bismuth ferrite, the average crystallite size increased with growing Dy3+ concentration in BFO, revealing a rhombohedral distorted perovskite structure of space group R3c. During morphological analyses of the produced samples, a spherical structure with little aggregation was found. When Dy3+ is substituted at the B-site, the Raman modes widen and the cation site occupancy changes even more. The frequency-dependent dielectric properties (εr, tanδ), electric conductivity (ac), impedance (Z), and electric modulus (M' and M′′) of the samples were assessed using an impedance analyzer at frequencies between 20 Hz and 20 MHz. All samples had the maximum dielectric constant, which was discovered at a relatively low frequency. The highest value of impedance was found at low frequency and it lowers with increasing frequency as a result of the contributions from the grain and grain boundary. It is discovered that the samples' ac conductivity is frequency-dependent and changes depending on how much Dy3+ is doped into the BFO.

Electromagnetic transient processes in a network with a conventionally twelve-phase thyristor compensator designed to adjust the value of the starting transient current of the network in the case of direct start from the network of asynchronous motors of comparable power to the network with a jump-like change in the control angle of the thyristors in the bridges were studied. A comparison was made with such a change in the control angle of thyristors of transient currents in the circuits of a two-bridge controlled thyristor compensator with parallel connection of bridges with transient currents in a conventionally twelve-phase thyristor compensator, where these bridges are switched on in series with each other relative to the supply voltage. The advantages of the technical and economic and mass-dimensional parameters of the conventional twelve-phase converter and its operational characteristics when applied in practice in comparison with analogues are indicated.

Celebrification and viewer interaction in microcelebrities’ product promotion videos
Authors: Hsiao Chi-hua
Published: November 2022

This study adopts virtual ethnography and discourse analysis to investigate celebrification in product promotion videos created by microcelebrities based in Taiwan. To explore the communicative functions of celebrification practices, in particular how product features motivate novel practices, this study focuses on three interrelated levels of analysis on videos and viewers’ comments collected from the microcelebrities’ YouTube channels. First, it examines how microcelebrities use multimodal resources to describe products and advertise them. It then analyses how microcelebrities present themselves via celebrification practices to project images suitable for product brands. It also examines viewers’ comments in response to microcelebrities’ self-presentation and celebrification strategies. It is argued that celebrification in product promotion videos constitutes a creative means of communication for microcelebrities to craft a self according to product features (Goffman, 1959). By highlighting salient aspects of their characters or personas, microcelebrities demonstrate their competence related to promoting products and social protocol.
Creativity in compliment responses in Japanese everyday talk
Authors: Suzuki Ryoko
Published: November 2022

This article explores how participants respond to compliments in Japanese everyday interactions. Even though compliments and responses (C-R) make a well-established format that contains a relatively high degree of fixedness and social and temporal restrictions, examinations of video-recorded Japanese conversation data show that a compliment recipient (Rt) handles a compliment delivered by a compliment giver (Gv) in a range of creative uses of language and the body. Focusing on negative responses that often start with iyaiya “no no”, we show that, in addition to formulaic responses, an Rt may add creative comments and/or perform embodied actions to partially accept the compliment or shift the perspective of the compliment. In short, Japanese speakers’ responses to compliments are much more creative and nuanced than previously assumed.

A composite material based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers modified with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was synthesized by coaxial electrospinning. The morphology and structure of the material were studied by SEM, FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, XPS, and the piezo-photo- and piezo-photocatalytic activity during the decomposition of the organic dye Methylene blue (MB) was studied. It is shown that the addition of CTAB promotes additional polarization of the PVDF structure due to ion-dipole interaction. It has been shown for the first time that the addition of CTAB promotes the photosensitivity of the wide-gap dielectric polymer PVDF (the band gap is more than 6 eV). It was demonstrated that the photocatalytic decomposition efficiency was 91% in 60 minutes. The material exhibits piezocatalytic activity – 73% in 60 minutes. Experiments on trapping active oxidizing forms have established that OH hydroxyl radicals play the main role in the photocatalytic process.

Published: November 2022

Diffusion galvanizing is widely used in the pipe industry for coating the threaded surface of pipe couplings, protecting water and gas pipelines, and other metal products. Diffusion coatings have a number of advantages over other types of zinc coatings. In this work, electrochemical and gravimetric methods are used to study the corrosion behavior of diffusion zinc coatings in sodium chloride solutions. The corrosion rate depends non-linearly on the thickness of the coating. At the initial stages, the corrosion rate of coatings depends on the structure of the phases on the surface, and with an increase in the holding time, the corrosion rate depends to a greater extent on the properties of the products formed during the corrosion process. Films of corrosion products of diffusion zinc coatings consist of zinc oxide/hydroxide and basic zinc salts, while the composition of the film changes with increasing coating thickness.

Published: November 2022

Abstract Tuberculosis is an infectious disease with symptoms similar to those of Covid-19, such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Based on the existing cases, these two diseases attack the lungs and can affect their shape. Detection of this disease can be done through a chest X-ray. In the X-ray images of Covid-19 and Tuberculosis, both have ground-glass opacity and consolidation, thus classifying the two diseases is tricky if done manually. One method that can be used for classification is Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The results obtained from this research are the implementation of the CNN algorithm with four convolutions which are convolution - pooling and repeated four times. The best architecture for parameters epoch 50 with the optimizer ADAM, image size 100x100 pixels, kernel size 3x3, and in the data scenario 80%:20%. The results of the level of accuracy of the classification process in the test data are 85.4%. In addition, the labeling prediction obtained is that the Covid-19 label is predicted to be correct with a probability percentage of 95.85%, while the probability percentage for the Tuberculosis label is 98%.

Published: November 2022

Abstract Cloud computing is internet-distributed computing model transferring processes from personal computers or servers to cloud servers. Nowadays, security and performance of cloud computing is considered challenging for both users and cloud service providers. Securing data on cloud computing servers will ensures privacy, confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Using cryptographic techniques is one of the major methods to ensure the data security while storing and transmission. Hypervisor in a cloud is a software that provides abstraction and called virtual machine monitor. Hyper-V and Xen are two different types of hypervisors. In this paper, eight different types of cryptographic algorithms are deployed by using the two hypervisors with instances, to measure the hypervisors performance while encryption and decryption. CPU utilization and response time are measured while encryption and decryption are having different data types and sizes. Results show that Xen is better than Hyper-V in most results on average at 15% and 6.1% for time duration and CPU utilization respectively.

Novel approach for predicting wave run-up on natural beaches
Authors: Villarroel-Lamb Deborah
Published: November 2022

The evaluation of wave run-up on beaches is of significant importance since it is used in different coastal engineering and management applications, including the assessment of beach morphology, the determination of erosion and flooding risk, and the design and maintenance of coastal structures. The main aim of this paper is to present a new method of wave run-up prediction, which is intended to be applicable to the various types of natural beaches. A single formulation was established for beaches, which were categorised as dissipative, reflective and intermediate. This comprehensive parametric run-up model, which included both wave set-up and swash excursion, was specifically developed to represent the wide-ranging conditions experienced in the swash zone in terms of beach conditions. The run-up model included a means to account for obliquely incident waves, varying foreshore sediment characteristics and the infiltration/exfiltration processes during swash events; it also used fitting parameters to account for other site-specific conditions. The novel run-up model produced comparable results to other parametric models, and showed good correlation with laboratory data and limited field data. However, while the model was deemed suitable to be adopted at varying coastal sites, field data are required for implementation to yield meaningful output.
Acetabular fracture after cycling related falls: High index of suspicion is required to avoid missing the injury on plain radiographs
Authors: Swart Jeroen , Horak Michelle , De Villiers Richard , Oberholzer Carla , Rotunno Adrian
Published: November 2022

Cycling participation as a medium of transport and as a competitive sport has steadily increased in recent decades. Traumatic injuries secondary to falls and collisions occur relatively frequently. Fractures of the hip and pelvis are uncommon with no studies to date reporting their exact incidence in this sport. Injuries specific to the acetabulum are reported even less frequently. We present four cases that highlight the insidious nature of acetabular fractures in cyclists and document their management and recovery. The number of acetabular fractures following falls from bicycles directly onto the lateral hip result in a relatively high number of fractures. Many of these may be missed due to the absence of findings on plain x-ray imaging.It is therefore important to have a high index of suspicion for hip and pelvis fractures when treating cycling related traumatic injuries.

The possibility is the uncertainty of the probability of the occurrence of an activity or event that can have a positive or negative effect is a risk. Risks to construction projects can result in losses in terms of cost and time for the construction projects involved. The impact of this risk involves the performance and loss of an organization such as housing developers, contractors or losses to certain individuals such as home buyers. The COVID-19 pandemic that has hit around the world has also had a negative impact on construction projects in Malaysia. The effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic have indirectly caused housing construction projects to be abandoned and also not to be completed within the stipulated time as in the contract. This results in the buyers not being able to occupy their homes according to the time period that has been signed in the sale and purchase agreement with the developer. This research aims to look at the risks in the management of abandoned housing projects in Malaysia and the existing risk management guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic era in Malaysia. The scope of this study is based on a literature review, current news of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a document-based review of project management guidelines and project risk management guidelines that have been issued by government departments. This study identifies two main types of risks in the management of housing construction projects, namely from the internal and external aspects. Internal risk involves five matters relating to clients, consultants, main contractors, subcontractors and distributors of building materials. Meanwhile, risks from external aspects involve the physical, economic, political, legal and site context. Risk management strategies are used for housing construction projects for risk management to prevent the occurrence of abandoned housing projects such as retain, reduce, relocate and avoid. A review of the literature found that risk management is important for determining, evaluating and prioritizing risks by monitoring, controlling, and using proper resource management in the current economic situation in order to reduce the likelihood of adverse events and maximize project achievement. In addition, this study concludes that risk management is necessary in addressing the problem of abandoned projects during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Developments in the world of architecture are developing rapidly and contributing to the emergence of new buildings. However, the emergence of new development has led to confusion of the identity of an area. In resolving the issue of identity, various iconic buildings were produced to serve as symbols in cities around the world. Local iconic architecture can be used as a landmark in an area or better known as the ‘landmark’ of an area that symbolizes the work of architecture at a particular time in an area. The objective of the study is to identify the characters, characteristics, and landmarks of the area in determining the iconic architecture that is a step to resolve the issue of identity in an area. This study focuses more on the basic aspects that make up an environment, namely in terms of physical, social, psychological and behavioral. The research method in this study was done with live research using photographic techniques, observation, interviews and questionnaires to get the impression or perception from others who saw the building. Overall, based on secondary studies or literacy studies, it can be concluded that the definition in determining a building is iconic is to study the design of a building built according to the era and era that meets the criteria and concept of iconic, that is a building that has scale and majestic. , geometrical, as well as having properties and elements that stand out through the expression of various aspects, especially in the use of structures and building materials, as well as functions that make them an important area of focus. Therefore, the expected results of the study on the comparison of the characteristics of some of the buildings should be able to evaluate in determining the criteria to become an iconic building to further elevate the local identity in the city.

Malay heritage carvings were heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist culture before the dissemination of Islam. This is evidenced by the paintings of mythical animals and floral motifs found on archaeological objects in Lembah Bujang. The arrival of Islam in Malaya in the 14th century finally brought great changes in the world of carving, including in Terengganu and Kelantan. This study aimed to identify the initial motifs used after the dissemination of Islam in Malaya. The states of Kelantan and Terengganu were chosen because most of the old houses and skilled woodcarvers were born there and are famous for their various carving motifs. Fourteen houses identified as heritage houses were selected. The carvings on 12 houses in Kelantan and Terengganu were based on measured drawings at the Center for Malay Studies (KALAM) UTM, Skudai. A heritage house was then selected as the ideal sample of the 14 heritage houses selected to identify the initial motifs used after the dissemination of Islam. Two famous woodcarvers were interviewed on the aspect of motif selection. The study focused on some components of the house with many carved motifs such as on walls and ventilation panels. The carving motifs were studied for their importance in terms of motif selection and placement. The results of this study found that there are four types of motifs that are often chosen after the dissemination of Islam in Malaya which are flora, fauna, calligraphy and geometry motifs. It is hoped that this study can contribute to the search for Malaysia identity in the context of history and heritage.

Los Afijos (2017) de Juan López en Matadero Madrid fue una intervención artística site-specific de gran complejidad en su planificación y acabado, y que requiere de un análisis complejo. Yuxtaposiciones y solapamientos de aspectos provenientes de los building cuts de Gordon Matta-Clark, de procesos psicológicos de la lectura, de la teoría del cine, de la práctica arquitectónica, la música, la percepción o el realismo infantil sintetizan una imagen caleidoscópica de la experiencia espacial puesta en juego en Los Afijos: en última instancia, al caminar por el lugar tratando de descifrarlo, el visitante lo que hacía era reanimar las cualidades estéticas de la antigua cámara frigorífica, y caminar el lenguaje y su articulación semántica, haciendo aparecer y desaparecer los grafemas ocultos de una frase secreta distribuida por la estancia; por tanto, era capaz de caminar el tiempo (timewalking) al deambular por el espacio pasando de una letra a otra sin conocer su orden secuencial, activando o atenuando regiones del pasado o el futuro relativo, tal y como un ecualizador permite destacar o elidir frecuencias sonoras que suenan simultáneamente en una producción musical.

Published: November 2022

The work is devoted to the adaptation of Personal Self-Activation Inventory for respondents with disability (N=170) and without disability (N=1507) aged 18 to 65 years (31.6% male). Adaptation was carried out for four groups: people without disability up to 25 years old (N=1016) and from 25 years old (N=491), as well as people with disability up to 25 years old (N=102) and from 25 years old (N= 68). When considering the total score of self-activation, statistically significant effects of age and disability were found: people without disability outperform people with disability, and older people outperform younger ones. The effect of sex was not found out. When considering three self-activation subscales, it turned out that for people without disability, all subscales’ scores make the same contribution to the increase in self-activation with age, and for people with disability, only the scores on the scales of independence and psychological activation increase with age. Sufficiently high internal consistency of all the inventory’s scales on four samples and retest reliability for samples of people with and without disability indicate the relevance of the inventory. The norms for all scales of the Personal Self-Activation Inventory depending on age and presence/absence of disability are presented.

Mycotic diseases of human skin are frequently diagnosed reaching 2025% of the population prevalence. The leading factor in the mycotic prevalence is the high survival rate of fungi in various environmental conditions. Up to 30 genera of fungi constantly live on human skin and mucous membranes. This constant balance of their presence on the body and interaction with it is called a mycobiome. If the balance between it and the macroorganism is disturbed, the reproduction of fungi begins and mycotic skin lesions develop.
The study included the patient V. 75 years old, who came in with complaints of widespread rashes on the skin of the body and limbs accompanied by peeling after a COVID-19 infection. Microscopy revealed mycelium of pathogenic fungi. The patient received systemic and topical antifungal therapy until the end of hospitalization. He continued to receive terbinafine on an outpatient basis in combination with a topical antimycotic after discharge. Short review on baricitinib and levilimab is presented. According to the results of the study, a 6070% regression of the skin process was achieved after 2 weeks at discharge. One month later a complete regression of the skin process was achieved due to the therapy.
The use of the combination of janus-kinase inhibitors with biological drugs and systemic glucocorticosteroids in COVID-19 patients has a powerful immunosuppressive effect on the body. It leads to the development of a common fungal skin lesion, which was observed in our patient.

Published: November 2022

In recent years, the sunlight vitamin has become extremely popular and almost mandatory to use, especially because of its pleiotropic effects, although until recently its use was limited to the prevention of the development of pathology of the bone system, in particular rickets in children. Being actually a fat-soluble prohormone of a steroid nature, Vitamin D participates in the endocrine, paracrine and autocrine regulation of the body. The pharmacotherapeutic renaissance of calciferol is associated with the discovery of Vitamin D receptors in most cells of the body, and the presence of enzymes synthesizing the active form of Vitamin D extrarenally, in particular, in the skin, has led to renewed interest and broad discussion in the dermatological community. Is the role of non-bone effects of calciferol, mainly its role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune skin diseases, really justified from the point of view of evidence-based medicine, and is the tendency to consume Vitamin D safe?
This article presents the most up-to-date information about the role of Vitamin D deficiency in the mechanisms of immune response development, in some dermatoses. In addition to generalizing the bone and extra-bone functions of Vitamin D to the macroorganism, the mechanisms of formation of some of the most common dermatoses, such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and vitiligo are discussed in detail. The review details the biological effects of Vitamin D in the skin. The article analyzes the legality of the use of Vitamin D-based drugs and their effectiveness in dermatological practice.

Published: November 2022

Since the untact trend brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the fastest growing industries is the meal delivery industry. Unlike in the past, the meal delivery industry has been restructured to focus on ordering using delivery apps as the spread of mobile devices expands, and competition between the three major platform(Baemin, Yogiyo, Coupang Eats) is ongoing. A special turning point came in the competition between them in 2019, and that is “One order per trip” service introduced by Coupang Eats, a latecomer. This service was later introduced to other platforms due to high customer satisfaction, but it caused a problem in rider revenue under insufficient rider supply, causing a social issue. This study is based on the fact that this service fee does not take into account the number of deliveries, but only the simple delivery distance, and using simulation of rider-order matching, analyzes the correlation between the number of deliveries and the delivery distance and the imbalance in the delivery distance of riders. As a result of the simulation experiment conducted by fixing the number of riders and changing the number of orders, the ratio of the number of deliveries and the delivery distance is constant on average. And as the ratio of number of orders/number of riders increases, the standard deviation decreases. In addition, as the ratio of the number of orders to the number of passengers increases, the standard deviation of the travel distance decreases. This is also true when the locations of restaurants are concentrated, but in this case the absolute value of the standard deviation is smaller.

En la actualidad debido a la coyuntura que se vive, es de primordial importancia guiar, promover y desarrollar una ciudadanía activa desde la escuela; no sólo se considera un ciudadano cuando los estudiantes participan en el municipio escolar sino que debe ir a la par con todas aquellas acciones que repercuten en el bienestar común. El desarrollo de la ciudadanía activa debe no sólo trabajarse en el área de personal social, sino incorporarse en todas las áreas, permitiendo recrear situaciones reales propias del entorno. Por ello es relevante realizar prácticas pedagógicas donde se involucre al estudiante con su comunidad sin dejar de lado la tecnología para coadyuvar en la formación de un ciudadano activo. Es por ello que la presente investigación se realizó de la problemática que existe sobre el desarrollo de la ciudadanía activa, realizándose un análisis y una revisión de cómo los docentes desarrollan dicha ciudadanía, como la fomentan y la impulsan y como la escuela está enfocada para tal fin. Cabe resaltar que educar para la ciudadanía activa es un trabajo comunitario, que requiere del involucramiento de toda la comunidad educativa.

Authors: TIRABANTI QUIROZ María Pilar
Published: November 2022

La investigación realizada tuvo como objetivo diseñar un modelo pedagógico en habilidades sociales para el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y creativo (PCC) de los estudiantes del II ciclo de una universidad privada. La investigación es de tipo básica y propositiva, con enfoque metodológico mixto. Se empleó la técnica de la encuesta utilizando como instrumento el cuestionario sobre el pensamiento crítico, creativo y habilidades sociales dirigido a los estudiantes y otro cuestionario administrada a los docentes relacionado con las mismas variables de estudio. También se empleó la técnica de entrevista la cual estuvo dirigida solo a las docentes de las estudiantes. Las estudiantes se ubicaron en los tres niveles del pensamiento crítico y creativo: alto, medio y bajo, siendo el nivel medio, el nivel en el que se observó una mayor preponderancia en el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y creativo. Finalmente, se concluye que el modelo pedagógico en habilidades sociales es una herramienta pedagógica fundamental que facilita el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico y creativo.

Published: November 2022

La ruta turística binacional Mangahurco (Ecuador) – Casitas (Perú), es un proyecto que se ha desarrollado entre 2015 y 2021, y responde al interés de impulsar el desarrollo sostenible en la zona fronteriza. Este trabajo analiza los imaginarios sociales o percepciones de los pobladores sobre el desarrollo económico y el ecoturismo en estas comunidades rurales. El enfoque fue cuantitativo, con un diseño no experimental y transeccional, con un nivel descriptivo-explicativo. Las variables analizadas fueron: a) desarrollo económico y, b) desarrollo ecoturístico. Se utilizó un cuestionario con una escala ordinal administrado mediante la plataforma Google form. Una prueba piloto arrojó un Alpha de 0.96. La población estuvo compuesta por dos grupos: 144 habitantes de Casitas – Perú, y 144 habitantes de Mangahurco. El proceso de muestreo fue no probabilístico e intencionado. Se calcularon la frecuencia, la mediana y el rango. Para la comparación se utilizó el test U-Mann Whitney – Wilcoxon para muestras independientes (G1: Casitas, Perú; G2: Mangahurco, Ecuador). Se partió de la hipótesis general de que existía un impacto positivo del proyecto de en el desarrollo de las comunidades rurales. Los resultados que se desprenden de las percepciones similares de ambas comunidades (U-Test > 0.05) no confirman totalmente esta afirmación. Es evidente que las comunidades no han mejorado sus indicadores de desarrollo a pesar de la inversión realizada. Se evidenció una leve influencia positiva de la ruta turística en el desarrollo ecoturístico. Esto resalta el potencial y la esperanza que se tiene en el ecoturismo como una alternativa de desarrollo.

Published: November 2022

La búsqueda de recomendaciones online prima mucho en las redes sociales, ya que estas propician la creación de espacios colaborativos, comunidades online, y la aparición de líderes de opinión como influencers, quienes influyen en el proceso de decisión de compra del consumidor (en especial cuando se trata de ropa para mujer). Este artículo presenta los resultados de la investigación referida a las variables: la reciprocidad de la comunidad, la distancia social afectiva, y la receptividad de la comunidad en la recomendación online de productos de ropa femenina en las redes sociales de Facebook e Instagram, en las mujeres de 21 a 35 años y que residen en los distritos de Surquillo, Barranco y San Juan de Miraflores en Lima Metropolitana. Se realizó una investigación con un enfoque mixto, con metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa, no probabilístico por conveniencia, un análisis de confiabilidad y distintos análisis estadísticos como Kolmogórov-Smirnov, análisis factorial confirmatorio y análisis de regresión lineal. A su vez, se empleó un estudio descriptivo y correlacional para determinar la relación entre las variables y determinar un patrón predecible en nuestro segmento de interés. Se utilizó una muestra de 382 personas y entrevistas a profundidad a 4 influencers/bloggers de moda. El diseño de la investigación es no experimental, transversal y transeccional correlacional – causa. Se concluyó que, si existe una relación positiva entre las variables reciprocidad de la comunidad, la distancia social afectiva, y la receptividad de la comunidad con la recomendación online de productos de ropa femenina en Facebook e Instagram, en las mujeres millennials de Lima Metropolitana.

Objective: This study investigated the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship of perceived stress with physiological well-being and self-care behaviors among patients suffering from type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, 369 patients with T2DM were selected through purposive and consecutive sampling from the cities of Rasht and Rezvanshahr (Northern Iran) in 2020-21. The participants completed the perceived stress scale (PSS-4), summary of diabetes self-care activities (SDSCA) questionnaire, Ryff's scale of psychological well-being (RSPWB), and self-compassion scale (SCS-SF). The data were processed through structural equation modeling (SEM) in AMOS-24. Bootstrapping was carried out in MACRO to analyze the mediating relationships.
Results: The perceived stress had a negative and significant correlation with self-compassion (r= -0.456), psychological well-being (r= -0.699), and self-care behaviors (r= -0.671) (For all cases P< 0.01). In addition, self-compassion had a positive and significant relationship with psychological well-being (r= 0.760) and selfcare behaviors (r= 0.657) (P< 0.01). The modified structural model had the desired fitting with the collected data (CFI= 0.955, RMSEA= 0.079, χ 2 /df= 2.842). Following the bootstrapping analysis, self-compassion significantly mediates the relationship between perceived stress, psychological well-being (P< 0.0001), and self-care behaviors (P< 0.0001).
Conclusion: Self-compassion can serve as a shield against and reduce the destructive effects of stress on the psychological well-being and self-care behaviors of diabetic patients. The beneficial effects of self-compassion can be used in diabetic psychotherapy protocols to improve psychological well-being and self-care behaviors.

Objective: The thyroid gland is susceptible to the formation of nodules. Therefore, due to the critical role of selenium in the function of the thyroid gland, the impact of this element on the size and volume of this organ and its nodules were examined.
Materials and Methods: During three months, two groups consisting of 30 patients with benign thyroid nodules who were referred to Baghaeipour Endocrinology Clinic were given daily doses of 100 and 200 micrograms of selenium, and a control group of 30 people without selenium consumption were assessed.
Results: The results of intergroup analysis detected that the mean (±SD) of nodules length in the 100 µg selenium consumer group was 17.13 (±7.9) and 14.93 (±6.01) before and after intervention respectively (P= 0.008). About the nodules height in the 200 µg selenium consumer group, the mean (±SD) was 9.3 (±2.8) and 8.93 (±2.71) before and after intervention in that order (P= 0.001).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that selenium has been effective in the size and volume of the nodule and thyroid gland, as well as the TSH hormone, and further studies are needed to determine its therapeutic approach and efficacy.
