Sytuacja prawna mniejszości żydowskiej na terytoriach znajdujących się pod kontrolą Ligi Narodów w latach 30. XX wieku: Górny Śląsk – Terytorium Saary – Danzig
Authors:   Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Möllenbeck Leonie
Published: March 2024

The following article provides an overview of the legal situation of the Jewish population in Upper Silesia, Saarland and the Free City of Danzig. All three areas were under the influence of the League of Nations in the interwar period. Firstly, it outlines how the protection of minorities, as enshrined in the Treaty of Versailles, among others, affected the respective territories in the interwar period in the 1930s. Secondly, it is shown how the Jews attempted to resist anti-Jewish legal measures within this legal framework of minority protection. It is shown that the legal instrument of petitioning the League of Nations was frequently used, but had little impact on the progressive disenfranchisement of the Jews in the 1930s.
Pamiętnik z okropnej wojny i przeżycia z roku 1945 Emanuela Pietyry. Mieszkańcy Zarzecza, Podlesia i Kostuchny w obliczu tragicznych wydarzeń końca II wojny światowej
Authors:   Biblioteka Śląska, Mokrosz Janusz
Published: March 2024

Emanuel Pietyra's Memoir of a Terrible War and Experience of 1945 is a record of the events that took place in the first months of 1945 in the areas of Zarzecze, Podlesie and Kostuchna. These areas have been part of Katowice since 1975. Their inhabitants, faced with the Red Army troops advancing into Upper Silesia, experienced many traumatic experiences. In 1945, the Soviets carried out arrests, thefts, arson and rape throughout the region. They behaved similarly in Zarzecze, Podlesie and Kostuchna. In addition to noting the Red Army's behaviour, which was symptomatic for many areas of the post-war Poland, the Memoir also contains information about battles between the Soviets and the Germans fought between January and March 1945 in the regions of Mikołow, Tychy, Żory and Rybnik, as well as the news about various everyday events. E. Pietyra’s notes also provide a glimpse of the emotions that the local population felt in the then uncertain and chaotic times. His memoirs therefore detail some aspects of the 'Upper Silesian tragedy' in relation to the now southern part of Katowice. They also provide an insight into the emotions prevailing among the local community.
Co na górnośląskim stole znaleźć było można? Kilka uwag na marginesie zwyczajów kulinarnych Górnoślązaków na przełomie wieków XIX i XX
Authors:   Uniwersytet Śląski w Katowicach, Kaczmarek Ryszard
Published: March 2024

The article presents Silesian culinary customs in the context of the cultural changes of the last few centuries. The author refers to the remarks of Norbert Elias, who illustrated these metamorphoses by describing behaviour in everyday life, including culinary customs. This methodology is applied to the description of regional cooking customs - the author postulates broadening the field of research and going beyond the analysis of the Upper Silesian peasant’s behaviour only. He argues against the stereotype of identifying the description of native cuisine with plebeian menus, citing, for example, the case of the cuisine of Prince George Rudolf of Legnica, where the Swiss cookbook by Anna Wecker (1605) was used, the English menu at the Pszczyna court of the Hochberg family, or the influence of the Schlesisches Kochbuch by Henrietta Pelz on Silesian bourgeois cuisine at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. These examples lead the author to conclude that Silesian cuisine was open to the transfer of culinary customs, a phenomenon he interprets as a readiness to embrace cultural change by different social groups in the region.

Housing Conditions and Demand for Youth Households by Life-Cycle Changes: Using the 2002 Survey on Youth Living
Authors:   Korean Association for Housing Policy Studies, Choi Myoungsub
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this paper is to identify the housing status of young households by life cycle, and to analyze changes in housing demand for young households in the future. For this purpose, this study uses the 「2022 Survey on Youth Living」 that was recently disclosed by the Office for Government Policy Coordination. The main analysis results of this study are as follows. First, there are many unmarried youths living with their parents. However, as young people in this type of household are not living independently, they are excluded from the housing policy for young households. Second, young single-person households currently make up most of youth-independent households, and their housing situation is relatively poor. Moreover, young single-person households appear to be a type that requires continued attention because it is expected that unmarried young people currently living with their parents will diversify into young single-person households in the future. Third, based on the estimated number of households and housing demand by the life-cycle of young households, the total number of young households decreased in the long term. Still, the proportion of young single-person households and young couple households increased. Specifically, If the differentiation of young households is activated, the total number of households and the housing demand of young households decreases.

An assessment of factors affecting productivity and production limitations of wheat farming in Kanchanpur district of Nepal
Authors: Kafle Kamal , Joshi Pankaj
Published: March 2024

Despite possessing considerable prospective for wheat cultivation, productivity in Kanchanpur remains lower compared to that of neighboring districts like Kailali, Banke, Kapilbastu, and Rupendehi which share similar meteorological conditions. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influential variables affecting wheat production and to determine the associated challenges inherent in wheat cultivation within the area of the Kanchanpur district. Given the substantial prospects for wheat farming in this geographic region, the Kanchanpur district was purposively selected, and research was conducted during March and April of 2022. Through a simple random sampling technique, one hundred households of wheat farmers were systematically chosen. Primary data were collected through the utilization of pre-tested semi-structured questionnaires administered via face-to-face interviews, while secondary data were sourced from pertinent journals. The factors influencing wheat production were determined through the application of a multiple regression model. The findings of this research underscore that variables such as the quantity of applied NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium), the educational level of the household head, the extent of wheat-cultivated land with irrigation facilities, and the farmers' years of experience in the field exerted a significant positive influence on wheat production in the study area. To identify the major constraints in wheat production, an indexing method was applied. The research identifies the unavailability of chemical fertilizer during critical growth periods, challenges arising from damage caused by wild animals and stray cattle, the lack of access to improved seeds and irrigation, susceptibility to diseases and pests, and inadequate market access as a major constraint affecting wheat production in the research area.

Authors:   Kazan National Research Technological University, Malysheva T. V.
Published: March 2024

The task of rational organization of auxiliary processes at the enterprise is to reduce their cost by deep integration into the main production process. The purpose of the article is to develop a classification analysis algorithm for assessing the dependencies between the main and auxiliary units and the typology of production processes according to the level of intra-factory cooperation. As a method for determining the type of production, the Random Forest machine learning method using the bagging machine learning meta-algorithm is proposed. Parameters have been developed that describe the costs of auxiliary operations, the costs of repair facilities and equipment maintenance, the level of technical efficiency of production. Approbation of the algorithm on the example of chemical enterprises made it possible to distinguish three types of production according to the nature of intraplant cooperation of processes according to the most informative parameters. To assess the usefulness and performance of the models, cumulative lift diagrams are constructed, where the most productive type is determined with an average level of intra-factory cooperation. The results are the primary diagnostics of the organization of auxiliary facilities, decision-making on the reengineering of processes in order to strengthen intra-factory cooperation and reduce costs.

The structure and elemental composition of titanium foil annealed in an inert ambient in the presence of hydrocarbons are studied by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The heat treatments carried out are simulated the synthesis process of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. As a result of the treatments, the plasticity of the material under study is significantly reduced. It is shown that the structure of the foil changes as a result of annealing. With an increase in the annealing temperature, an increase in carbon and oxygen concentrations is observed, and the hardness of the material increases significantly, which is probably due to the formation of titanium oxide and titanium carbide in the foil structure.

Authors: DOĞAN Murat Ahmet , DOĞAN Ebül Muhsin , EREN Miraç
Published: March 2024

Deregulation has significantly developed the civil air transport industry in an ever-globalizing world. Even though deregulation has caused significant structural transformations in airline companies, the effect of deregulation effect on the production, marketing efficiency, and competitiveness of airline carriers worldwide, especially in Turkey, has not been fully revealed yet. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the efficiency of Turkish air carriers after the deregulation process in Turkish civil aviation by dividing the efficiency into production and market efficiency. Production and marketing efficiencies of airlines were estimated using the window network data envelopment analysis methodology. Efficiency analysis results showed production efficiency at 0.887, marketing efficiency at 0.764, and system efficiency at 0.796. Results also indicate that low-cost airlines have a higher production efficiency score (0.918) than full-service airlines (0.825). In comparison, the marketing efficiency of full-service airlines (0.879) is higher than that of low-cost carriers (0.708). The study determined that the system efficiency does not change according to the business model. The system efficiency score of the full-service provider airlines with a larger market share is higher and more balanced. The close and dynamic monitoring of the air transport market and the continuation of operations under a business model incorporating an appropriate marketing mix will increase the marketing efficiency of the airlines.

In the 21st Century, knowledge is seen as a commercial meta. Via knowledge we obtain reputation and the power in everyday life, and, knowledge is a source of profit in the commercial life. Accessing information has become easier through, the mass media becoming widespread. However, in some complex products or services, superficial information may not be enough to differentiate effectively among the choices and make a good decision. Buyers and sellers should have the necessary knowledge about the goods on the market, the costs, the profit and the quality factors in order for the market to function effectively. Buyers and sellers should also have the same level of information so that health care could become a marketable service in a perfectly competitive market. This situation, which is known in health economics, will be examined through knowledge and asymmetric information issues within the scope of the study.

Çalışmada, Borsa İstanbul’da pay senetleri işlem gören bankaların Mart 2010 ile Aralık 2020 dönemindeki entelektüel sermayeleri ile finansal performansları arasındaki kısa ve uzun dönemli ilişkiyi ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Mevcut çalışmada entelektüel katma değer katsayısı ve bileşenleri ile entelektüel sermaye ölçülürken, finansal performans ise aktif karlılık ve özsermaye karlılığı ile ölçülmüştür. Bu doğrultuda kurgulanan dört farklı ekonometrik model PMG-ARDL yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda beşeri sermaye etkinliği ve entelektüel katma değer katsayısı ile aktif karlılık ve özsermaye karlılığı arasında uzun dönemde negatif ilişki tespit edilirken, kısa dönemde entelektüel katma değer katsayısı ve yapısal sermaye etkinliği ile finansal performans arasında negatif ilişkiler bulgulanmıştır. Buna ek olarak hata düzeltme modeline göre ise bankacılık sektörünün finansal performansında meydana gelen dengesizliklerin sonraki dönemde ortalama %32 kadarının düzeleceği de bulgulanmıştır. Bu bulgu sektörün entelektüel katma değeri ile finansal performansı arasındaki kısa dönemli dengesizliklerin uzun dönemde dengeye geleceğinin de göstergesidir. Bankaların katma değer yaratma sürecinde beşeri, yapısal, fiziksel ve finansal sermaye kaynaklarından meydana gelen varlık yapısını başarılı bir şekilde yönetemediği, entelektüel sermaye yatırımlarını kaynak olarak değerlendiremedikleri ve entelektüel sermayeyi bir rekabet gücü olarak görmedikleri söylenebilmektedir.
A study on the Concept of ‘Material Imagination’ by Gaston Bachelard and the Value of Natural Materials and Techniques in Three-Dimensional Art
Authors:   Society for Art Education of Korea, SHIM Jungah
Published: March 2024

This study researched the interaction between the artist and the material in the creation of three-dimen-sional art based on Gaston Bachelard's 'material imagination' and the phenomenology of images. The crea-tive act of humans with spirit, body, and soul dealing with natural materials deserves to be called a 'crea-tive struggle'. The material imagination evoked by water, fire, air, and earth can allow artists to encounter archetypal images, and enhance the artist and their artworks. The researcher suggests that a more pro-found world of art can be unfolded if the artist selects natural materials and utilizes poetic images evoked by the materials' dialectical imagination and alchemical reveries. To present practical case for this, the ter-racotta technique was analyzed focusing on the fact that alchemical reveries occurs with the participation of all basic materials in its process. And the value of handwork was emphasized, and the four perspectives suggested by Bachelard to contemplate material's values was interpreted, and the three stages of partic-ipation were applied to the creative process of art, and Kwon Jin-gyu's terracotta work Hand was evaluated as a case study.
Examining the Meaning and Methods of Student Participation-Centered Assessment: Focusing on the 2022 Revised Art Curriculum
Authors:   Society for Art Education of Korea, JANG Hyonjoo
Published: March 2024

In this study, previous studies related to student participation-centered classes and process-centered as-sessment were analyzed to examine the meaning and methods of student participation-centered assessment. Student participation-centered classes and process-centered assessment were emphasized when the 2015 revised curriculum was revised to a competency development-centered curriculum. Researchers clarified these concepts so that teachers could easily understand and apply them. Student participation-centered assessment also emerged as a result of educational policy, but basic research is still lacking. This researcher defined student participation-centered assessment by referring to the character-istics of student participation-centered classes and the 2022 revised art curriculum. In addition, a student participation-centered assessment method was proposed in five stages in connection with the proc-ess-centered assessment procedures in art education: 1. sharing class goals and achievement standards, 2. discussing assessment implementation plans and methods, 3. students apply self-assessment, 4. check evaluation results and 5. analysis and utilization of evaluation results.

Background Problem: The integration of interval training programs has emerged as a focal point for enhancing the cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance of players. Research Objectives: The main purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of interval training program on cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance of football payers. Methods: A total of thirty male football players (age 18-24 year) were selected from Imphal West District, Imphal, Manipur (India) who participated in the national level competition. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups, experimental group (n = 15) and control group (n = 15). Before the intervention featuring a six-week interval training program five days of sessions per week (Monday to Friday) each lasting 60 minutes, groups underwent initial assessments through which Cooper’s 12-minute run/walk test for cardiorespiratory endurance and bent-knee sit-ups for muscular endurance. Pre and post-test scores underwent statistical analysis, utilizing descriptive statistics and the Analysis of Covariance test (ANCOVA). The level of significance was set at 0.05 level of confidence. Findings and Results: The experimental group showed improved scores in the cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The mean of the cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance for pretest and posttest of the experimental group were 25.68 ± 25.85 and 27.82 ± 26.25 respectively. The mean of the cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance for pre-test and post-test of the control group were 28.24 ± 28.42 and 32.58 ± 28.80 respectively. Conclusion: It was concluded that the interval training program group had shown significantly improved cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance and the control group had insignificant improvement. It was confirmed that a six weeks interval training program was effective to improve the cardiorespiratory endurance and muscular endurance of football players.

Description of the subject. Vanilla is a spice whose name comes from the spanish word “vanilla”, meaning little black pods. It comes from a variety of orchids, more specifically the vanilla plant. Although vanilla is the second most expensive spice, next to saffron, it is still the most used in the food, cosmetics, beverage, and tobacco industries. The quality of vanilla pods depends on their preparation. Objectives. This work aims to quantitatively determine the rate of five aromatic quality marker compounds in five selected vanilla species cultivated in Madagascar and to understand the evolution of these compounds during the maturity and preparation of the pods. Method. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis was undertaken on five Vanilla species, including Vanilla planifolia Andrews, V. pompona Schiede, V. tsy taitry, V. planifolia var. sterile and V. planifolia var. tsy vaky, to assess the concentration of the marker compounds, including vanillin (VAN), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBAc), vanillic acid (VAc), guaiacol (GUA), and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (p-HB), in the selected pods during their stage of collection and preparation. Results. VAN (2.63-45.30 µg·ml-1 at 6 months old; 8.72-122.66 µg·ml-1 at 9 months old; 26.81-60.69 µg·ml-1 after the drying process and 13.35-105.03 µg·ml-1 after the conditioning process) was the major component followed by the p-HB (7.59 µg·ml-1 for V. pompona at 6 months old; 5.52-24.47 µg·ml-1 at 9 months old; 5.40-14.72 µg·ml-1 after the drying process and 4.69-24.84 µg·ml-1 after the conditioning process) in each vanilla species. Generally, VAN concentration increased from the 6th to the 9th month then decreased after the drying process and increased again after the conditioning process. Guaiacol was not detected in all species during the stages of collection and preparation. Conclusions. Vanilla planifolia or V. fragrance remains the vanilla with the highest concentration of the important marker compounds suggesting that it could have the best quality among those selected in this study making this species still the most traded in the international market.

Chinese cabbage is relatively recalcitrant to genetic transformation. Microspore is an ideal haploid single cell recipient for genetic m anipulation, whereby homozygous Doubled Haploid (DH) transformants can be obtained to accelerate the breeding process. In this study, Microspore Derived Embryo (MDE) productive material DH ‘FT’ is screened out from 10 candidates; microspore culture parameters were optimized: bud size ranged from 2.4mm to 2.7mm and microspore density 20000~40000/mL shows highest MDE yield. Antibiotic (chemical) sensitivity assay indicates that 100mg/L Carbenicillin or 300mg/L Timentin can be applied to inhibit the overgrowth of Agrobacterium after transformation; microspores are sensitive to cellulase and lysozyme treatments when liquid cultured, kanamycin slight below 5mg/L can be used as selection marker. ‘FT’ microspore and MDE were successfully transfected by Agrobacterium. Transient expression of embryogenic transcription factor LEC1-GFP in nucleus, rather than cytoplasm, was clearly detected by confocal microscopy. ‘FT’ microspores, 14/28d MDEs can be used as transient transfection recipients in Chinese cabbage. This study provides an efficient and spontaneous doubled haploid recipient system in Brassica rapa.

Introduction: Several studies have shown that Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) results in gender specific or gender typical symptoms. The algorithms of automated CPAP devices (APAP) up to now focus on the therapy of typical male OSA symptoms. The “Air Sense 10 Autoset for Her” device was developed to provide a therapy with the focus on the treatment of typical female OSA symptoms. In this study the efficiency of the “Air Sense 10 Autoset for Her” Algorithm (AfH) in treatment of female as well as of male OSA symptoms was investigated in comparison to the standard APAP mode (ASstd). Methods: In 40 women and 40 men a prospective randomized intraindividual cross-over trial was done where each OSA patient was half night treated with AfH algorithm and half night with ASstd algorithm. The flattening degree of each breath was calculated by deviding the relative inspiratory tidal volume by the relation of inspiration to expiration time (OC = Obstructive Coefficient© SOMNOmedics, Randersacker, Germany) in order to have analyzed all breaths of a whole night time recording because better treatment of inspiratory flattening is a major target of the AfH algorithm. The OC values under AfH/ASstd therapy were compared for each sleep stage separately for women and for men. Results: In women the AfH algorithm provided better flattening treatment during N2 sleep (p<0.01, 104.115 breaths) and REM sleep (p<0.01, 32.348 breaths) while the ASstd algorithm was superior during N3 sleep (p<0.01, 57.286 breaths). No difference between the algorithms was observed during N1 sleep (15.803 breaths). In men the AfH algorithm was superior to the ASstd algorithm during each sleep stage (N1, N2, N3, REM, p<0.01, 211.440 breaths). When looking only at the number of breaths treated, independent from the sleep stage, in women AfH was superior to ASstd in 43.8% of the breaths, ASstd superior to AfH in 32.8% of the breaths and no algorithm preference was observed in 23.5% of the breaths. In men 52.7% of the breaths were better treated by AfH, 29.2% by ASstd, and in 18.1% no algorithm preference was observed. Discussion: The AfH algorithm that has been especially developed for OSA treatment in women is only during N2- and REM-sleep more efficient in flattening treatment than the ASstd algorithm. The faster and more sensitive reaction to detected flow limitations did not provide better treatment in all sleep stages in women, but in the OSA treatment of men instead. The treatment of respiratory events was completely independent from this result and was similar effective in women as in men with no difference between the two APAP algorithms.

We report here a case of peripheral nerve complications of Sjogren’s syndrome in a 45-year-old Chinese man. To our knowledge, there are presently no studies to provide the best treatment for peripheral neuropathy in Sjogren’s syndrome. In our patient, rituximab was particularly effective. However, the mechanism through which rituximab exerts its efficacy in the treatment of neuropathy is unclear. Clinicians should screen other systemic diseases in patients with peripheral neuropathy, and consider Sjogren’s syndrome in the differential diagnosis.
