Authors: Satchanska G. , Davidova S. , Tsenova M. , Andreev A.
Published: April 2024

The rich nutritional content of cheese favors the development both of beneficial and food-borne pathogenic microorganisms. The study aimed to evaluate the microbial quality of seven cheeses, imported and Bulgarian, and to screen for antimicrobial resistance of isolated pathogenic microorganisms. The total number of bacteria, fecal enterococci, staphylococci, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, yeasts, and molds were assessed according to ISO standards and EC № 1441 using selective and differential chromogenic media. Randomly picked isolates were sub-cultured on corresponding media. Identification of isolates was carried out using the Crystal Gram-positives system, catalase, PYR-test, and API 20 C AUX Candida. Antimicrobial resistance screening was carried out according to EUCAST-2023, The European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing. All cheese samples except one contain bacteria, yeast, and molds under the permissible standard limits. Isolated bacteria were identified as pathogenic Enterococcus durans, two strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus simulans. Isolated yeasts belong also to pathogenic Candida krusei – four strains, and Candida glabrata. Only one strain – E. faecalis-2 showed resistance to three antibiotics while E. faecalis-1, E. durans, S. simulans, C. krusei, and C. glabrata were susceptible to all tested antimicrobials. The studied cheeses are safe for consumption except one.

The main distinguishing characteristic of active vibration control
Authors: Ghemari Zine , Belkhiri Salah
Published: April 2024

Active Vibration Control (AVC) stands out as a prominent technique in the realm of vibration mitigation and structural dynamics. Unlike passive vibration control methods that rely on dampers or isolators, AVC systems actively manipulate forces or motions within a structure in real-time to counteract undesirable vibrations. In this paper, the main distinguishing characteristic of AVC lies in its proactive approach, wherein control algorithms and actuators are employed to actively sense and respond to dynamic changes in the system. The application of Newton’s second law allows to model of the vibration sensors operation, followed by simulations to improve their performance, contributes to the advancement of the active vibration control system by enabling more precise detection and measurement of vibrations.

Background/Aims: This study aimed to examine the synergistic effect of independent risk factors on post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP).Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included 1,273 patients with native papillae who underwent ERCP for bile duct stones in Japan. Independent PEP risk factors were identified using univariate and multivariate analyses. Significant risk factors for PEP in the multivariate analysis were included in the final analysis to examine the synergistic effect of independent risk factors for PEP.Results: PEP occurred in 45 of 1,273 patients (3.5%). Three factors including difficult cannulation ≥10 minutes, pancreatic injection, and normal serum bilirubin level were included in the final analysis. The incidences of PEP in patients with zero, one, two, and three factors were 0.5% (2/388), 1.9% (9/465), 6.0% (17/285), and 12.6% (17/135), respectively. With increasing risk factors for PEP, the incidence of PEP significantly increased (1 factor vs. 2 factors, p=0.006; 2 factors vs. 3 factors, p=0.033).Conclusions: As the number of risk factors for PEP increases, the risk of PEP may not be additive; however, it may multiply. Thus, aggressive prophylaxis for PEP is strongly recommended in patients with multiple risk factors.
The Life-Cycle Dynamics of Wealth Mobility
Authors: Audoly Richard , McGee Rory , Ocampo Sergio , Paz-Pardo Gonzalo
Published: April 2024

We use twenty-five years of tax records for the Norwegian population to study the mobility of wealth over people’s lifetimes. We find considerable wealth mobility over the life cycle. To understand the underlying mobility patterns, we group individuals with similar wealth rank histories using agglomerative hierarchical clustering, a tool from statistical learning. The mobility patterns we elicit provide evidence of segmented mobility. Over 60 percent of the population remains at the top or bottom of the wealth distribution throughout their lives. Mobility is driven by the remaining 40 percent, who move only within the middle of the distribution. Movements are tied to differential income trajectories and business activities across groups. We show parental wealth is the key predictor of who is persistently rich or poor, while human capital is the main predictor of those who rise and fall through the middle of the distribution.

Authors: Kárpáti László
Published: April 2024

Parents of the current generation are likely to have difficult times shortly, as it becomes more and more demanding and tiresome to safeguard their children’s complete well-being against the outside world. They also face the new challenge of actually cooperating and cohabiting with the ones they swore to protect from any harm. As a result of their children spending an ever-growing number of time stuck to the screens of their smart devices and wasting long hours on the omnipresent internet, there is a high risk to be accounted for here, particularly in the life of teenagers. The present paper aims to shed light on the many negative aspects of using smart devices in our everyday life, particularly in the life of younger children and teenagers. Beyond revealing these effects, it also seeks to offerfeasible and working solutions to the above-mentioned issues to compensate for the possible negative influences that are to be discussed.

A obesidade não é apenas uma questão estética, mas também está intrinsecamente ligada a uma série de comorbidades e complicações médicas graves. Essas complicações não apenas afetam a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos, mas também impõem uma carga significativa nos sistemas de saúde e na economia. Os Inibidores do Transportador 2 de Sódio-Glicose (iSGLT2) inicialmente foram aprovados para o tratamento de DM2, mas pesquisas recentes têm sugerido seu potencial no tratamento da obesidade independentemente do diabetes. Este estudo objetiva analisar os benefícios dos iSGLT2 como uma terapia farmacológica inovadora para a obesidade e suas condições associadas. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura feita em torno da seguinte questão norteadora: “Quais os benefícios do uso de inibidores do transportador 2 de sódio-glicose no tratamento da obesidade e suas condições associadas?”. A pesquisa na literatura foi realizada nas bases de dados da BVS, PubMed e SciELO, utilizando os seguintes descritores: “Obesidade” e “Inibidores do Transportador 2 de Sódio-Glicose”, sendo abordados os artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos em português, inglês ou espanhol. Ao final da pesquisa, 14 artigos foram escolhidos para comporem este trabalho. Os iSGLT2 não apenas desempenham um papel vital no controle glicêmico em pacientes com DM2, mas também promovem a perda de peso significativa, redução da gordura corporal e melhorias em vários parâmetros metabólicos. Além disso, os estudos revisados sugerem que os iSGLT2 podem desempenhar um papel importante no tratamento de condições associadas à obesidade, contribuindo para a saúde global do paciente. Mais estudos são necessários a fim de avaliar o uso de iSGLT2 em pacientes com obesidade e sem DM2, além de estudos para investigar a segurança e os efeitos desse tipo de tratamento a longo prazo.

Determinants of Pension Uptake in the Informal Sector of Tanzania
Authors: Kibona Shadrack Elia
Published: April 2024

Pension is important for persons in both formal and informal sectors of the economy. In developing countries, formal sector is much covered in terms of pension compared to informal sector though people employed in the two sectors are equally in need during retirement age. This study aimed at determining the factors for pension uptake in the informal sector in Tanzania, secondary data collected by FinScope Tanzania in 2017 were used. To determine the factors for pension uptake in the informal sector, the binary multiple logistic regression model was applied. The dependent variable is pension status and the independent variables include age, gender, highest education level, income, location, and main income generating activity. Individuals working in farming and fishing, trade, service provision, and casual work are less likely to uptake pension compared to informal salaried. Likewise, females are less likely to uptake pension compared to male category in the informal sector. Individuals at age forty and above are more likely to uptake pension compared to those aged less than 20 years. Middle and the two highest quintiles of income are more likely to uptake pension compared to those in the two lowest quintiles of income. Persons in urban are more likely to have pension compared to rural residents. Pension uptake is common to individuals with above secondary education, at least middle-income quintiles, urban residents, males, and those aged forty years and above in the informal sector.
Reasons for Patronage of Traditional Bone Setting as an Alternative to Orthodox Fracture Treatment A case of Muleba District, Kagera Tanzania
Authors: Ruhinda Straton Kakoko
Published: April 2024

The study examined the factors for the preference of Traditional Bone Setting (TBS) in the treatment of fractures among Tanzanians. It sought to unfold other reasons for consulting TBS practitioners besides poverty, ignorance and inaccessibility to modern orthopedic services which are commonly associated with the pull factors. From the available literature, though very popular, TBS is associated with complications like malunion, non-union of the fractured bones, and limb gangrene. In order to find out why there is a paradox, the investigation was mainly done in Muleba, a district of Kagera Region where the treatment is most common according to the Institute of Traditional and Alternative Medicine, at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences. The study revealed that the therapy management groups were often more vocal than their fractured individuals in deciding the model of treatment. And, the fractured people who are financially able, formally educated and geographically closer to orthopedic services are among the adherents of TBS. Besides, the respondents unanimously expressed their dislike of orthopedic amputation, Plaster of Paris (POP), internal and external fixation let alone the length of time spent in hospital for treatment. All these have significant implications including continued use of TBS by rural and urban people for themselves and livestock. Combining X-ray reading and alternative medicine makes TBS sustainable. Thus, in future, it is suggested TBS services be integrated to orthodox treatment so as to control its negative aspects while harnessing its positive aspects.

The study is to analyze the peculiarities of public service under the legal regime of martial law, which arise in the light of current security challenges posed by Russian aggression. The article uses such methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, and the logical and legal method. Within the scope of the study, it was noted that the first feature of public service under the legal regime of martial law, arising from the standards formed at the level of the international community, is the digitization of public services. The second extremely important feature of public service under martial law is the restorative nature of public service in de-occupied territories, limited material and human resources, and the lack of appropriate work premises and infrastructure, work equipment and other necessary means in such territories. Problematic issues regarding the peculiarities of public service under the legal regime of martial law are caused by the restructuring of the most important areas of state policy implementation, primarily in the field of security and defense. The complex of these aspects determines the relevance of the topic. In domestic realities, the issue of digital services is also considered from the point of view of safety and timeliness of their provision in the conditions of martial law, constant air danger, which causes long interruptions in the functioning of public authorities.

Objective: The current research aimed at designing a paradigmatic model for social media marketing in the Iranian banking services. Methodology: This study employs an exploratory qualitative research method. The population of this research consisted of a group of experts, including professors in the field of marketing management and a group of banking industry experts in the marketing sector, who were deeply interviewed. In this study, sampling was conducted purposively until theoretical saturation was reached in the interviews, which continued until theoretical saturation was achieved with 16 experts interviewed. In this research, the main tool for data collection in the field section was semi-structured interviews, and the grounded theory approach was utilized using MAXQDA software version 2020 for analyzing collected data and presenting the paradigmatic model. Findings: Consequently, after conducting open, axial, and selective coding, 18 categories and 70 indicators were identified within six main sections including causal conditions (factors related to social media, management factors, structural factors, electronic word-of-mouth advertising), contextual conditions (relationship marketing, information and communication technology), intervening conditions (customer trust, perceived risk), the core phenomenon of social media marketing (the role of communications, the role of advertising), strategies (human resources actions, marketing actions), and outcomes (customer satisfaction, environmental opportunities, environmental threats, awareness, perceived quality, customer trust). As a result, the paradigmatic model of a native social media marketing pattern in the Iranian banking services industry has been fully delineated with a qualitative approach considering six conditions (causal, contextual, intervening, the core phenomenon of social media marketing, strategies, and outcomes). Conclusion: Banks can segment their target market and plan and act more for awareness raising for each segment of society as appropriate. The research and development department of banks should study hidden needs or sometimes define new needs for audiences and customers and introduce them in an attractive manner.

Published: April 2024

This study aimed to examine the extent to which mental toughness can predict subjective well-being, thereby contributing to the understanding of psychological factors influencing mental health and quality of life. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, 200 participants were assessed using the Mental Toughness Questionnaire (MTQ48) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and linear regression using SPSS Version 27 to explore the predictive power of mental toughness on subjective well-being. Results indicated that mental toughness significantly predicts subjective well-being, accounting for 23% of the variance. The regression model (F = 5.88, p < 0.01) and standardized coefficients (B = 0.99, β = 0.23, p < 0.05) underscored the positive relationship between mental toughness and well-being. The study confirms that mental toughness serves as a significant predictor of subjective well-being. Enhancing mental toughness could, therefore, be a viable strategy for improving individuals' mental health and overall life satisfaction.

Efectos de Inducción Recíproca Entre Periodontitis e Hiposalivación. Revisión de la Literatura
Authors: Ossola César Angel , Fernández-Solari Javier
Published: April 2024

Muchas investigaciones se han ocupado de evaluar la vinculación entre las afecciones bucales y otras funciones o afecciones del organismo. Algunos de esos estudios han sentado precedentes acerca de la influencia mutua que puede existir entre la funcionalidad de las glándulas salivales y la enfermedad periodontal, y cómo la presencia de una condición puede modificar la evolución o inducir la aparición de la otra. El objetivo del presente trabajo es hacer una revisión bibliográfica de las publicaciones científicas que evalúan los efectos de inducción recíproca que existe entre la enfermedad periodontal y la hiposalivación. Trabajos de nuestro grupo y de otros autores demuestran que la hiposalivación reduce la capacidad del organismo para defenderse contra las bacterias patógenas, mantener un ambiente saludable y facilitar la cicatrización en la cavidad bucal, promoviendo los procesos de inflamación y daño tisular gingivoperiodontal. A su vez, varios estudios reportan que la enfermedad periodontal induce cambios en las glándulas salivales y altera el volumen de secreción salival. Por su parte, el sistema endocannabinoide (SEC) muestra estar involucrado tanto en el proceso de secreción salival como en la inflamación y la reabsorción ósea presentes en la enfermedad periodontal, en tanto que la activación de los mecanismos del SEC emerge como una de las vías a través de las cuales se desarrollaría el fenómeno de inducción recíproca.

Aksaray Coğrafi konumundan dolayı süre gelen yüzyıllar boyunca birden çok medeniyete ev sahipliği yaparak birçok kentin kuruluşuna ve gelişimine şahitlik etmiştir. Aksaray Selçuklu şehri olarak bilinen köklü bir geçmişe sahiptir. 1920 yılında vilayet hüviyetini kazanmış ancak 1933 yılında tekrar ilçe olarak döndürülmüştür. Aksaray kenti için geç Osmanlı ve Erken Cumhuriyet dönemleri geçiş dönemlerinde çok sayıda değişiklikler olması açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu yakın dönemler hakkında bilgi veren çalışmalar yeterli sayıda değildir. Arşiv kaynaklarında yer alan belgelere göre Aksaray’ın yakın dönemlerinde pek çok hadisenin yaşandığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Aksaray merkezinde 1703-1950 tarihleri arasında inşa edilmiş eğitim yapılarının mimari özellikleri değerlendirilmiş, Geç Osmanlı ve Erken Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde Aksaray’ın mimarlık ortamında eğitim mimarisi ele alınmıştır. Eğitim yapıları; tarihçeleri, günümüzdeki durumları, plan özellikleri açısından incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Geç Osmanlı ve Erken Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde eğitim yapılarından Ali Bey Muallimhanesi, Hacı Arab Muallimhanesi, Aksaray İdadi Mektep ve Gazi Mektebi ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Yapıların dış cephe ve iç mekân tasarımları bakımından ayrıntılı bir biçimde tanıtılmıştır. Geç Osmanlı ve Erken Cumhuriyet dönemlerinde Aksaray’ın kentsel mekân gelişimi ortaya konularak yapıların plan, malzeme, süsleme ve cephe özellikleri bakımından benzer örneklerle karşılaştırması yapılarak toplu bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır.
KASIMALI CANTÖŞEV’İN “ÇOBANLAR” VE “KARAÇAÇ” ADLI PİYESLERİ ÜZERİNE

20. Yüzyılın 1920’li yıllarından itibaren şekillenmeye başlayan çağdaş Kırgız edebiyatında başarılı tiyatro eserleri de kaleme alınmıştır. Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalara bakılınca Kırgız tiyatro türü ile ilgili detaylı çalışmaların olmaması dikkatimizi çekmiştir. Bu makalede çağdaş Kırgız tiyatroculuğunun oluşum ve gelişim sürecinden, Kırgız edebiyatının önemli temsilcilerinden biri Kasımalı Cantöşev’in hayatı ve sanatından ve söz konusu yazarın “Çobanlar” ve “Karaçaç” piyeslerinde kullanılan halk kültürü unsurlarından bilgiler verilmiştir.
Çağdaş Kırgız tiyatroculuğunun kurucularundan biri Kasımalı Cantöşev, 1904 yılında Isık Göl bölgesinde dünyaya gelmiştir. Üniversitede okuduğu sırada piyes yazmaya ve tiyatroda yönetmenlik yapmaya başlar. Yazarın edebiyata piyes türüyle adım atması tesadüf değildir. Lvov’un “Kırgız Tiyatrosu” adlı kitabında 1920 yılında Çolpon köyünün mektebinde çalışan öğretmen tarafından, şiir türünde yazılmış “Bükülbay” adlı bir perdelik piyesin oynandığından bahsedilir. Piyesin sahnelenmesinde Kasımalı Cantöşev de görev alır. Kırgız tiyatro tarihinin ilk yıllarında yerli piyeslerin olmamasından dolayı çoğunlukla akraba dillerde yazılan piyesler, Kırgızcaya çevrilerek sahnelenmiştir. Kasımalı Cantöşev, Özbek, Uygur, Tatar ve Kalmuk dillerini ileri seviyede bilen nadir yazarlardan olduğu için çeviri işlerini yapmıştır.
Piyeslerde Çarlık Rusya’sının son yılları, çifte sömürge altında ezilen Kırgızların hayatı, kadınların toplumdaki yeri, eşitsizlik, yoksulluk, zengin ve fakirler arasında geçen sınıf çatışmaları, Sovyetler Birliği’nin Türkistan topraklarında uyguladığı sömürge politikaları anlatılmıştır. “Çobanlar” piyesi ilk kez 1924 yılında, “Karaçaç” piyesi ise 1928 yılında yayımlanmıştır. “Koyçular” piyesi çağdaş Kırgız edebiyatında ilk metni korunan ve ilk sahnelenen piyes olmasına rağmen, Moldogazı Tokobayev’in “Kaygıluu Kakey” (Kaygılı Kakey) piyesi ilk piyes olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bunun sebebi ise piyes, sosyalist realizmin ilkelerine uygun olmamsıdır. Çalışmada, “Karaçaç” piyesinin 2014’te ve “Çobanlar” piyesinin 1964’de yayımlanan baskıları esas alınmış olup eserler tarafımızdan Türkiye Türkçesine aktarılmıştır.
A kommunikációs csatornák és a szakmai hitelesség bizalmi alapú kapcsolata: Kit tart hitelesnek a Z generáció?
Authors: Dobó Róbert
Published: April 2024

A tanulmány célja vizsgálni a különböző kommunikációs csatornák bizalmi alapú fogyasztói megítélését, valamint bemutatni ennek kapcsolatát a különböző szakmabeliek hitelességével. A kutatás során vizsgálom a marketingkommunikációs csatornák hitelességét befolyásoló tényezőket, több faktoron keresztül, majd igyekszem ezt kontextusba helyezni és rávetíteni az üzenetet közlő különböző szakmabeliek személyi hitelességére. A fogyasztó tájékozódási szokásai önmagában is befolyásolják, magának az üzenetnek a hitelességét is. A téma irodalmának bemutatását primer kvantitatív kérdőíves kutatással egészítettem ki, mely során vizsgáltam a demográfián túl a tájékozódási szokásokat és preferenciákat, a különböző szakmák megítélését valamint ezek kölcsönhatását. A minta elemzése során korrelációt találtam a csatorna és a szakmák megítélése között, valamint klaszteranalízis segítségével, a tájékozódási szokások (bizalmi alapú megítélése) alapján sikerült négy elkülönülő csoportot azonosítani, amelyek eltérő csatorna és szakma megítéléssel rendelkeznek.

A Covid-19 világjárvány és napjaink energiakrízise rengette meg az egész világot, és rendkívüli helyzet elé állította az egészségügyet, a társadalmat, és rendkívül módon megviselte az egyént is. Minderre is tekintettel a vásárlói magatartás századunkban átalakuláson megy keresztül, hiszen hiába a gondosan megtervezett marketingtevékenység, a körültekintő szemlélet, ha egy előre nem látható világjárvány, vagy a 2022-ben kirobbant orosz-ukrán háború keresztülhúz minden addig megtervezett és gondosan felépített termelési folyamatot. Napjaink gazdasági válsága, a világszerte tapasztalható bizonytalanság megváltoztatta az emberek gondolkodását, és igényeit. Mindezek miatt fontos feltérképezni azt, hogy mit gondolnak az emberek a jelenről, milyen elképzelésük van a közeljövőről. Jelen tanulmány közel 700 válaszadó véleményét tükrözve feltárja néhány társadalmi és élelmiszer-pazarlási döntés tekintetében azokat az összefüggéseket, amelyek a járvány időszakában és az energiaválság következtében megváltoztak, megváltozhattak. A tanulmány egy áttekintés, ami egy nemzetközi publikáció megalapozását szolgálja.

A Soproni Egyetem a Tématerületi Kiválósági Programban támogatást nyert „Merevszárnyú drón és kiértékelő szoftver fejlesztése határmegfigyeléshez és környezetértékeléshez – BorderEye” című projekt megvalósítására, melynek célja egy a környezeti elemeket és eseményeket, azok változását időben és térben érzékelni képes (Situational awareness, SA) komplex rendszer alkalmazásorientált fejlesztése. Az illegális migrációval érintett határszakaszok, környezetváltozás szempontjából érzékeny, katasztrófával sújtott régiók vagy hulladéklerakással terhelt területek néhány óránkénti megfigyelését ellátni képes légieszköz és az arra szerelt időjárás független szenzorok kiválasztása és tesztelése a projekt szereplők célja. A tanulmányban a tervezett célcsoportok, kiemelten a precíziós mezőgazdaság tekintetében vizsgáljuk a tervezett drón hasznosságát és várható fogadtatását, az érintettek attitűdjeit. A kvalitatív interjúk során olyan kérdésekre kerestük a választ, mint a drónhasználat jelenlegi gyakorlata, és a BorderEye eszközök lehetséges alkalmazási területei és vásárlói elvárások az adott célcsoportban.
Milyen lenne az ideális elektromos autó? Preferenciák fontosságának mérése Choice Based Conjoint elemzéssel

A mindennapi közlekedés elengedhetetlen része a teljes életnek, azonban környezetünk védelme, kiváltképpen a szén-dioxid kibocsátásunk minimalizálása érdekében szükséges a változás, amelyet fogyasztásunk szerkezetének újragondolásával tudunk elérni. Az autóipar, ezen igény kielégítésére, ma már a személyi közlekedésben tömegek számára is elérhető alternatívát, az elektromos autót kínálja, amely a működése közben nem juttat károsanyagot a levegőbe. Számos gátló tényezője van ezen innováció terjedésének Magyarországon is. Hiába a technika használatával járó kedvezmények, az ár, a technika korlátaiból adódó relatív alacsony hatótáv, és a megszokotthoz képest szűk kínálat miatt csak bizonyos szegmenseket képes elérni. Kutatásunkban ezért a fogyasztók elektromos autó preferenciáit vizsgáltuk kiválasztás alapú conjoint elemzéssel, továbbá legjobb – legrosszabb skálázás módszerével feltérképeztük N=206 válaszadónk kapcsolódó márkapreferenciáit. Eredményeinkből kiderül, hogy az ár, a kivitel és a hatótáv rendelkezik a legnagyobb relatív fontossággal a döntéshozatal során. A leginkább preferált márkák pedig a Tesla és az Audi. A vizsgálathoz használt termékjellemzők különböző szintjeinek elemzése során kapott becsült részhasznosságok segítségével pedig körvonalazzuk a válaszadóink számára leginkább vonzó elektromos autót.
