Intraoperative pancreas stump perfusion assessment during pancreaticoduodenectomy: A systematic scoping review
Authors: Robertson Francis P , Spiers Harry V M , Lim Wei Boon , Loveday Benjamin , Roberts Keith , Pandanaboyana Sanjay
Published: August 2023

Tumour rupture of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) has been considered to be a remarkable risk factor because of its unfavourable impact on the oncological outcome. Although tumour rupture has not yet been included in the current tumor-node-metastasis classification of GISTs as a prognostic factor, it may change the natural history of a low-risk GIST to a high-risk GIST. Originally, tumour rupture was defined as the spillage or fracture of a tumour into a body cavity, but recently, new definitions have been proposed. These definitions distinguished from the prognostic point of view between the major defects of tumour integrity, which are considered tumour rupture, and the minor defects of tumour integrity, which are not considered tumour rupture. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the risk of disease recurrence in R1 patients is largely modulated by the presence of tumour rupture. Therefore, after excluding tumour rupture, R1 may not be an unfavourable prognostic factor for GISTs. Additionally, after the standard adjuvant treatment of imatinib for GIST with rupture, a high recurrence rate persists. This review highlights the prognostic value of tumour rupture in GISTs and emphasizes the need to carefully take into account and minimize the risk of tumour rupture when choosing surgical strategies for GISTs.

From Albums to Musicking Assemblages: Virtual Structures and Topological Unfoldings in Toyomu’s “Imagining” of Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo
Authors: Szarecki Artur
Published: August 2023

In 2016, Kanye West released his highly anticipated eight album, The Life of Pablo, on a streaming platform Deezer, where it remained exclusively available for over a month. This prevented audiences from several countries, where the service has not yet launched, from accessing it. As a result, Japanese electronic music producer, Toyomu, created his own version of the album, without hearing the original. Browsing the internet, he tracked every sample and every lyric that West used, and assembled them into an original work, comprising an “imagining” of how The Life of Pablo could have sounded. His endeavor, while ingrained in the cultural logic of remix, goes beyond it, comprising a unique musical entity that eludes easy categorization. Therefore, the paper employs Manuel DeLanda’s assemblage theory to account for its specificity. This entails a shift from a relational and processual understanding of the musical album, already implied in West’s work, to mapping the topological structure of possibilities, defined by invariants and attractors, that hints at real but not actual vectors of its becoming. As such, Toyomu’s undertaking provides an opportunity to further rethink the concept of the musical album in a time when it was already decentered by the transition from material objects to digital data.

Conviviality-Inequality during the Pandemic: The Case of Berlin
Authors: Costa Sérgio , Teixeira Mariana , Mattos Thomás
Published: August 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected conviviality and inequality in societies worldwide. This research article examines the dynamic interplay between these dimensions in Berlin, Germany, during the pandemic. The study’s main question explores how the relationship between inequality and conviviality evolved in the context of the pandemic and the correspondent containment measures. Four sub-questions address specific aspects: 1) the hierarchy of infection and disease trajectory based on access to protection, 2) the effects of containment measures on income, education, and well-being among various social groups, 3) changes in conviviality at the microlevel (households, neighbourhoods, etc.), and 4) shifts in virtual interaction and media usage during “social distancing”. The survey in Berlin involved 2,502 households and spanned three collection periods. Computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) was used, ensuring representative responses. The findings are analyzed through Goran Therborn’s three levels of analysis: resource, vital, and existential inequalities (Therborn 2013).

Authors: Faheem Muhammad , Ali Hammad , Farooq Fatima , Hussain Javaid
Published: August 2023

This investigates the relationship of renewable energy, technology innovation, economic growth, and the interaction between renewable energy and technology innovation with mineral resource demand in resource-rich economies (Russia, The USA, Brazil, Canada, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Venezuela, China, & Iraq). The research employs the dynamic common correlated effect (DCCE) method for the period from 1995 to 2021. The findings show that coefficients for RENR, TINO, TR, and EG are all statistically significant, indicating their significant positive long-term impact on the mineral resource demand. Increases in RENR, TINO, TR, and EG are associated with positive changes in the outcome variable over the long term. However, the coefficient of INTERM has a significant negative influence on the mineral resource demand in the long run. The findings provide valuable insights into the dynamic interrelationships between the model's variables. Policymakers should focus on policies that promote and enhance RENR, TINO, TR, and EG, as they positively influence the outcome variable in the long run. Additionally, policymakers should be cautious of the potential negative effects of changes in INTERM on the mineral resource demand over the long term and carefully assess policies affecting this variable.

Authors: Okem Andrew E. , Mubangizi Betty , Adekanla Niyi , John Sokfa F.
Published: August 2023

Rural communities are vulnerable to shocks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The resilience of these communities depends on their ability to cope with the impacts of such shocks. This study examines the COVID-19 coping strategies of residents of Matatiele and Winnie Madikizela Mandela local municipalities in South Africa. We collected primary data through 11 FGDs and 13 individual interviews. Of the six coping strategies identified, the most cited was resorting to alternative food sources to address food insecurity. Other coping strategies include alternative sources of income; reducing remittance and expenditure; shifting to new activities; and introducing emotional support. The findings reveal that coping strategies entail changes around basic needs such as food and income. To protect these communities against future shocks, strong local institutions working in collaboration will be invaluable in empowering communities to identify and implement alternative livelihoods while building supportive infrastructure.

Authors: Ramzan Nyla , Khurram Azmat Farooq Ahmad
Published: August 2023

The teachers' motivation is crucial to the institutional value and accomplishment of goals; it greatly influences the success of institutions, particularly in educational institutions. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire to assess teachers' motivation and named it as Teachers' Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ). The questionnaire contained two motivation dimensions provided by Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory of Motivation (i.e., Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation). The preliminary draft of the questionnaire was created after a focus group discussion on the forty-four (44) item, five (5) point Likert Scale. After ensuring content and face validity by having the items reviewed by experts and removing any items with CVR scores of less than 0.42, the questionnaire's items were whittled down to just thirty (30). Two hundred twenty-six teachers working for the school education department participated in a pilot study of the revised questionnaire. The data were processed using PLS Smart version 4, which determined the questionnaire's validity, reliability, and model fit. After removing the unsuitable items, the questionnaire was reduced to eighteen (18) items. The AVE values for extrinsic motivation items were 0.575 > 0.5, while for intrinsic motivation items were 0.633> 0.5. The Fornell-Lacker criterion value (0.828) was greater than the correlations with other latent components, 0.778 and 0.828, respectively. The Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio (HTMT) was 0.895 0.9, which is considered good. Cronbach alpha values for extrinsic motivation were 0.917 > 0.7, while for intrinsic motivation were 0.916 > 0.7. Similarly, the composite reliability (CR) values for extrinsic motivation were 0.931 > 0.7 and 0.932 > 0.7, respectively. So, the Teachers' Motivation Questionnaire (TMQ) was internally consistent, valid, and reliable. The overall study's findings approved using TMQ to investigate teachers' motivation.

Published: August 2023

To explore the relationship of chemotherapy induced distress with body image and psychological wellbeing, this study was proposed considering locus of control as a moderating variable among breast cancer patients. This study was a cross-sectional research. A convenient Sample of 80 breast cancer patients were selected from different hospitals of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Chemotherapy Induced Alopecia Distress Scale (CADS), Body Image Scale (BR23), Psychosocial Well-being Scale (EORTC QLQ C30), and Health Locus of Control Scale (HLCS) were used to find the relationship between study variables. The study found a significant association between chemotherapy-induced alopecia, body image, and psychosocial well-being in breast cancer patients. The moderating role of Locus of Control was found to be insignificant between chemotherapy induced alopecia distress, body image, and psychosocial well-being. The results of present research study highlighted the negative effect of hair loss on dissatisfaction of body image and wellbeing of psychological and social factors, emphasizing the need for comprehensive psychosocial support for these patients. The study also underscores the importance of considering individuals' locus of control when designing interventions to mitigate the psychosocial effects of hair loss.
Globalization and Worlding: Interconnected Alternatives
Authors: Biti Vladimir
Published: August 2023

At the outset, a distinction is drawn between globalization, that takes the shape of a consensus imposed from above, and worlding, that takes the shape of a dissensus developed from below. In Jacques Rancière’s terms, globalization “polices” a political space, suppresses conflicts among its constituents, appropriates and translates everything into its own identity parameters. By pointing out the “political” gap between what is claimed and what is within the given space, worlding, in contrast. insists on disagreement. However, these two reconfigurations and recalibrations of human being-in-common are never diametrically opposed, but are interrelated and intertwined. Worlding can start as a liberating “politics” but, as soon as it institutes its platform of commonality, may slip into an imposed “police”. Since political disagreement necessarily aims to legitimize its unrecognized identities, a surreptitious perversion of dissensual politics into a consensual police is its inescapable ultimate consequence. Disagreement invents names and utterances, setting up new collectivities that solidify their identities by “policing” their spaces. Accordingly, one can conclude that worlding starts as an emancipating project that gradually turns into discriminating globalization. The continuous slide of one into the other impeded and disconcerted the political space of European modernity from its very beginnings, accompanying it like an uncanny shadow. This space repeatedly proliferated both its internal (intra-European) and external (extra-European) “zones of indistinction”, whose residents forged transborder alliances with the aim of its recalibration and reconfiguration.
The Poems of Nicasius Ellebodius
Authors: Orbán Áron , Szabó Ádám
Published: August 2023

This study explores the surviving poetry of Nicasius Ellebodius (1535–1577). While his great philological achievments of this Flemish humanist are well known, his lesser works, including his poems, have received much less scholarly attention. At the present state of research, nine poems of his are extant today, both Latin and Greek pieces, which make up althogether around 230 lines. Beyond their literary and aesthetical value, these occasional poems throw light on various aspects of Ellebodius’s life and personality, his attitude to possible and actual patrons, his relationship with humanist friends. There survived poems from various stages of his life, from his Roman (mid-1550s), Paduan (1560s) and Pozsony periods (1570s). We provide a critical edition of all these poems (only two were edited in previous scholarship), and make decisive steps in exploring their context.

This research paper introduces the Voscreen application as an extra pedagogical tool that EFL teachers can use in the classroom as an attempt to improve students’ listening and reading skills. Also, it shows how digital resources can promote an engaging, interactive, and efficient learning. Our research can be classified as a bibliographical study of a descriptive nature, since we propose to analyze studies developed by some scholars. Therefore, as a theoretical base, we had the studies of Gil (1994), Paiva (2013), Taylan (2018), Tucker-Seeley (2005), Singhal (1997) and Stosic (2015). We believe that the new social demand requires that teachers should include digital resources in their pedagogical practices to enhance the quality of their classes. Also, we believe that the use of interactive applications can be a good strategy adopted by teachers. due to the fact that students are already inserted in this technological context.
COMICIDADE E HISTÓRIA
Authors: Nogueira Júnior José Everaldo
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é proporcionar a oportunidade de entrar em contato com a teoria do riso e vê-la aplicada nos textos do principal autor de comédia da primeira metade do século XIX no Brasil: Martins Pena. Recorremos aos postulados de Aristóteles com o intuito de fundamentar teoricamente as reflexões. Nesse mesmo sentido, autores modernos estrangeiros como Wladimir Propp, Henri Bergson e Geroges Minois, e brasileiros como Luiz Carlos Travaglia e Sírio Possenti serviram-nos de base. Naturalmente recorremos também à literatura brasileira clássica sobre teatro (Sabato Magaldi, por exemplo) e, para a análise dos dados, escolhemos a edição crítica que Darcy Damasceno fez para a obra de Martins Pena. As análises propiciaram uma clara imagem dos tipos de comicidade explorados pelo comediógrafo brasileiro. Sem sombra de dúvida, as comédias trazem em seu bojo uma série de costumes socioculturais reveladores não só das práticas sociais comumente realizadas em uma dada época, mas também expõem aspectos de natureza linguística que são mediadores das interações do período em cujo contexto elas se inserem.

Authors: Nélo Maria José , Sellan Aparecida Regina Borges
Published: August 2023

Este estudo trata do humor no ensino de língua portuguesa, variante brasileira, para aprendizes estrangeiros, considerando que o humor se inscreve numa prática discursiva marcada pelo cultural. Assim, tem por objetivo verificar os entrelaçamentos entre o linguístico, a imagem, o cultural e a situação de uso em que se dá o humor risível. Para tanto, faz-se necessário recuperar conhecimentos sobre o discurso como prática social interacional, o contexto discursivo marcado pelos marcos de cognições sociais, a cultura impressa e expressa na língua, o humor risível relativo aos conhecimentos específicos, individuais e sociais, presentes nas expressões lexicais polissêmicas. Os resultados apontam para relevância de se considerar, no ensino de língua-cultura, as relações possíveis entre imagem e expressões lexicais a fim de explicitar os valores múltiplos e polissêmicos que provocam o riso entre brasileiros.
FANTASMAS CAMARADAS, ESQUELETOS DANÇANTES: UMA ANÁLISE DO HORROR-HUMOR NA LITERATURA INFANTOJUVENIL
Authors: Figueiredo Carolina Severo
Published: August 2023

O objetivo deste texto é, portanto, fazer uma análise crítica a partir de Minois (2003), Cabral (2007) e Bines (2017), utilizando uma série de textos literários deste gênero. A hipótese é de que a literatura de horror-humor pode servir como uma boa ferramenta didática para crianças e adolescentes, despertando a curiosidade e a reflexão sobre si mesmo e os outros devido à subversão de categorias de homogeneização social que estes textos suscitam. O riso pode ser entendido como uma ameaça ao medo, um símbolo da liberdade, e, nesse sentido, o riso sobre a morte ou sobre os medos mais intrincados na nossa psique são o que delineiam o caráter expurgador ou catártico desse riso. Por este motivo, defendemos que o gesto de afastar crianças e adolescentes da reflexão sobre o medo, a mortalidade, o luto, podem causar um efeito contrário ao desejado. Acreditamos que, ao usar a linguagem adequada, estes temas podem e devem ser tratados com crianças de forma responsável, e as fábulas às avessas ou a literatura de horror-humor podem ser uma ferramenta interessante para abordar com elas os fantasmas da vida real como o preconceito, o medo do outro e a formação da própria personalidade.

Published: August 2023

Este artigo busca divulgar uma breve síntese de três pensadores franceses que muito contribuíram para os estudos do humor. O primeiro deles é Bergson (1859-1941), cuja publicação de 1899 (O Riso), por ser um marco no campo académico francés sobre o humor, o cômico e o riso na modernidade, alcançou popularidade nos meios universitários nos anos seguintes à publicação e vem sendo uma referência constante na atualidade. O segundo é François Rabelais (1483-1553), com a publicação “Gargantua e Pantagruel” de 1532, durante o Renascimento, cuja análise de Bakhtin o colocou em circulação nos meios académicos. O terceiro e último pensador é George Minois (1946), com a obra “História do Riso e do Escárnio” de 2002, que apresenta um panorama geral do tema desde a Antiguidade Clássica até a atualidade.

The growing significance of rare earth elements (REEs) in advanced electronic technologies and the nuclear industry, coupled with concerns about geopolitical dynamics and supply market vulnerabilities, has reignited global interest in securing domestic and economically viable sources of REEs through dedicated research and developmental pursuits. Bauxite, a naturally occurring mineral primarily composed of aluminum, has been identified to harbor an abundance of sought-after rare earth minerals, thereby rendering it a promising unconventional reservoir of REEs contingent upon geological and mineralogical characteristics. Nigeria, endowed with substantial bauxite deposits prominently situated in Ondo and Ekiti states, stands to offer an intriguing avenue for exploration. In this study, the utilization of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) facilitated the quantification of trace elements within samples obtained from six distinct production sites spanning Ondo and Ekiti states in Nigeria. The aim was to elucidate correlations between multi-elemental REE compositions and geographical origins. Employing both single quadrupole (SQ) and multi-collection sector field (MS) modes, concentrations of Pb, Cd, As, Zn, Mn, Al, Ca, Ni, K, Na, Mg, Cu, Fe, Ti, P, Cr, and Si were rigorously determined. Remarkably, ICP-MS analysis consistently revealed a palladium (Pd) concentration of 228.05 ppb across all sampled materials, factoring in a dilution factor of 175x. Consequently, the actual concentration of the digested solution was established at 39.91 ppm mg/L. The outcomes of this investigation hold potential significance in categorizing Nigerian bauxite deposits as viable REE sources, as well as in engineering tailored techniques to efficiently recover these elements. Such findings harbor promising economic prospects for the nation, positioning the solid mineral sector as a pivotal driver of Nigeria's burgeoning economy.

A financial distress decline in financial health a bussiness had before bankruptcy, so it is important for companies to analyze financial distress as a form of prevention from the start. The investigation’s goal was to examine financial distress using financial ratios that were tempered by firm size. The sample for this analysis consists of 41 firms operating in the restaurant, hotel, and tourist industries that are listed on the Stock Exchange of Indonesia between 2018 - 2021. These studies used purposive sampling techniques to gather samples from 23 different businesses. The data testing procedure employs Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) in SPSS Version 26. Profitability and leverage were shown to be major factors in the probability of financial trouble. There is little correlation between liquidity and the likelihood of economic hardship. Profitability and leverage can exacerbate financial difficulty, although a company's scale can mitigate this. However, the impact of liquidity on financial hardship can't be dampened by a company's size.

Employing Granger Causality Test, Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique and ARDL Bounds test on data for the period starting 1st February 2020 and ending 28th February 2022, it is found that short run association exists between TEU, CVI and NFT returns. Further, GFI leads NFT Art returns while TEU leads NFT Metaverse returns by lag 5 and lag 2 respectively. No association between fear metrics and NFT Collectible, NFT Game and NFT utility is observed. No long run association in found between NFT returns and fear indices except TEU which influences NFT returns. It is concluded that NFT, NFT Art and NFT Metaverse returns have positive association to at least one fear index during times of turmoil, especially for the short run.

This study aims to examine the influence of the community on the business performance of P2L program actors and to examine the role of universities and government support as moderators in this relationship. This research is an explanatory research with a quantitative approach. The sample in this study were P2L program actors in Malang Regency. The data collection method used a survey mode by sending questionnaires online through the P2L group member community and collected as many as 62 respondents from 30 members of the P2L group. Data analysis used the SEM-PLS method using the SmarPLS4 program. The research findings show that the community has a significant effect on the business performance of P2L program actors. Universities and government support do not moderate the relationship, instead government support has a direct impact on improving the business performance of P2L program actors. These findings also show that the stakeholders of the P2L program have a very important role, so they must be managed in such a way as to have a bigger and wider impact on the sustainability of the P2L program.

Rekonstrukcija obitelji u 18. stoljeću – metode, mogućnosti i teškoće
Authors: Balog Zdenko
Published: August 2023

Rekonstrukcija obitelji preuzimanjem podataka iz sve tri standardne matične knjige prati pojedinu obitelj od vjenčanja kroz ciklus rađanja potomstva, kroz jedan ili više očevih brakova, do prestanka obitelji i do prelijevanja preživjelog potomstva u nove obitelji. Povezivanjem obitelji predaka i potomaka pratimo rodove, a krajnji ishod praćenja roda kroz više naraštaja je rodoslov (genealogija). Praćenjem obitelji i rodova, kao i praćenjem prezimena kroz naraštaje potomaka prikupljamo važne podatke za rekonstrukciju života zajednice. Nukleus zajednice je župa, koja najranije počinje prikupljati podatke o pojedincima, a očuvanost župskih knjiga i njihova dostupnost uvjet su za rekonstrukciju obitelji. Relativno dobro sačuvane, župske knjige hrvatsko-slavonskog područja, te njihova potpuna dostupnost, odlična su podloga za izučavanje podataka iz građe. Odabrane župe, Požega i Križevci, srednje su velike župe, s uglavnom sačuvanim župskim knjigama za predmetno razdoblje. Iako je premisa obitelji otac i oko njega okupljene supruge i potomci, te iz svakog izučavanja obitelji ispadaju illegitimi, u svojoj ćemo rekonstrukciji ponekad probiti ove okvire i dati primjere drugačijeg gledanja na obitelj.

Taj je tekst sačuvan u rukopisu od 57 stranica u obiteljskoj ostavštini pisan pisaćim strojem pod naslovom „Zapisy z meho života na vojne. Napsano v Vel. Zdencich 12.1 1954. r. dle poznamek z deniku vedeneho od r. 1914-1921.”. Osim toga daje se kraći prikaz tadašnjih vojnih i političkih prilika u Ruskom Carstvu tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata uz bogati kartografski i slikovni materijal.
Planirani atentat na kneza Pavla uoči Drugog svjetskog rata
Authors: Milovančev Nikola
Published: August 2023

U članku se govori o pripremama atentata u Sloveniji (1940. g.) na kneza namjesnika Pavla Karađorđevića, koji je bio glavni nosilac kraljevske vlasti u Jugoslaviji od ubojstva kralja Aleksandra 9. listopada 1934, pa do državnog udara od 27. ožujka 1941. Naručilac priprema atentata je bio Ilija Trifunović Birčanin, predsjednik organizacije Narodna odbrana. Birčanin je bio i suradnik britanske obavještajne službe SOE, sa pseudonimom Daddy. Kraljevski namjesnik knez Pavle bio intimno probritanski raspoložen, i on je od 1935. raniju frankofilsku vanjskopolitičku orijentaciju kralja Aleksandra Karađorđevića zamijenio svojom anglofilskom politikom. Ipak, kasnije se, zbog novih geopolitičkih odnosa u Evropi, zalagao za tješnje ekonomske i političke odnose sa Njemačkom. To je 1940. dovelo do tendencija ka fizičkom uklanjanju kneza Pavla, koje nije realizirano, već se pristupilo svrgavanju sa vlasti putem državnog udara, što je i učinjeno 27. ožujka 1941. godine. O pripremama na uklanjanje kneza Pavla i izvršenje državnog udara bili su informirani britanski obavještajci zaduženi za Jugoslaviju, ali je Foreign Office u Londonu, odnosno sam lord Hallifax, u srpnju 1940. smatrao da je prerano za državni udar. Članak se temelji na iskazu jugoslavenskog nacionaliste (ORJUNA), Slovenca Filipa Koseca, koji je bio operativac Narodne odbrane i pojedine aktivnosti je sprovodio u suradnji sa britanskom SOE. Iskaz Koseca potvrđuju i britanski obavještajni dokumenti koje su 1980. objavili britanski historičari Neil Balfour i Sally MacKay u svojoj knjizi „Paul of Yugoslavia. Britain’s Maligned Friend”.
Kako raskrinkati tvrdnje povijesnih revizionista
Authors: Goldstein Ivo , Hutinec Goran
Published: August 2023

Dvojica autora u ovom tekstu detaljno dekonstruiraju pet relativno poznatih tvrdnji povijesnih revizionista posljednjih godina u Hrvatskoj – da li je pozdrav Za dom spremni – domoljublje ili ustašovanje?; da li se u NDH dogodio kulturni i obrazovni procvat?; kako revizionisti izmišljaju da su žene i djeca iz ustaškog logora u Đakovu ubijeni u Auschwitzu (a ne u Jasenovcu); može li se samo ekshumacijama utvrditi broj žrtava jasenovačkog logora?; da li je Josip Broz Tito jedan od najvećih zločinaca 20. stoljeća?Autori smatraju da je obrazac kojim se revizionisti služe u opisanim slučajevima uvijek isti – iskrivljavanjem, pa čak i izmišljanjem činjenica te raznim vrstama manipulacija i mistifikacija, a sve uz neposredan politički interes. Ovim smo tekstom željeli da znanstvenoj i široj javnosti pokažemo u čemu revizionisti namjerno ili nenamjerno griješe i koliko se njihove teze razlikuju od onoga što pripada domeni skrupulozne znanstvene spoznaje.
