Published: January 2022

The utilization of Internet-of-Things (IoT)-based technologies in the construction industry has recently grabbed the attention of numerous researchers and practitioners. Despite the improvements made to automate this industry using IoT-based technologies, there are several barriers to the further utilization of these leading-edge technologies. A review of the literature revealed that it lacks research focusing on the obstacles to the application of these technologies in Construction Site Safety Management (CSSM). Accordingly, the aim of this research was to identify and analyze the barriers impeding the use of such technologies in the CSSM context. To this end, initially, the extant literature was reviewed extensively and nine experts were interviewed, which led to the identification of 18 barriers. Then, the fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) was used to calculate the importance weights of the identified barriers and prioritize them through the lenses of competent experts in Hong Kong. Following this, the findings were validated using semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that the barriers related to “productivity reduction due to wearable sensors”, “the need for technical training”, and “the need for continuous monitoring” were the most significant, while “limitations on hardware and software and lack of standardization in efforts,” “the need for proper light for smooth functionality”, and “safety hazards” were the least important barriers. The obtained findings not only give new insight to academics, but also provide practical guidelines for the stakeholders at the forefront by enabling them to focus on the key barriers to the implementation of IoT-based technologies in CSSM.
LGBTQI + Migrants: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework of Health, Safety and Wellbeing during Migration
Authors: Yarwood Vanessa , Checchi Francesco , Lau Karen , Zimmerman Cathy
Published: January 2022

The health and safety of LGBTQI+ migrants or migrants who are of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity or expression (SOGIE) remains an under-studied area, particularly for the period during transit from their place of origin to destination. This systematic review aims to describe the literature on the health risks and consequences among SOGIE migrants during transit and examine their access and use of services. Six peer-reviewed databases and websites of nine large migration organisations were searched to identify the literature on forced migrants and sexual and gender minorities. Twenty English-language studies from 2000–2021 were included and analysed drawing on a conceptual framework. Studies emerged from six regions and the majority of research participants identified as gay men. In general, quality appraisal demonstrated studies as either medium or high quality. Findings suggested five common themes associated with SOGIE health and well-being, including: daily exposure to discrimination, harassment and violence; coping, social support and resilience; access to services; mental health; and physical and sexual health. Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were prevalent amongst SOGIE migrants, particularly when associated with detention or camp environments, and were exacerbated by social isolation. Barriers to accessing healthcare were identified and specific sexual health services were often found lacking, especially for trans persons. Unsurprisingly, during transit, SOGIE migrants are very likely to experience the double marginalisation of their migrant or minority status and their gender identity. Results indicate that services for SOGIE migrants need to tailor service access and support approaches to respond to the particular health and protection needs of SOGIE individuals in each setting.

Authors: Napiórkowska-Orkisz Magdalena , Gutysz-Wojnicka Aleksandra , Tanajewska Mariola , Sadowska-Krawczenko Iwona
Published: January 2022

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the severity of pain experienced by a newborn during a heel puncture for screening using the Newborn Pain Scale (NIPS), measure the heart rate and compare the effectiveness of non-pharmacological methods of pain control. Design: Randomized clinical trial. No experimental factors. The test was performed during routine screening. Surroundings: Provincial Specialist Hospital in Olsztyn. Patients/Participants: Pain was assessed in 90 full-term newborns. The newborns were rooming in with their mothers in the hospital. Interventions: Newborns were divided into three groups. Three different methods of pain relief were used: breastfeeding, 20% glucose administered orally and non-nutritional sucking. Main Outcome Measures: The primary pain outcome was measured using the NIPS and the secondary pain outcome measures (heart rate, oxygen saturation) were measured using a pulse oximeter. Results: During capillary blood sampling from the heel, most newborns, n = 56 (62.2%), experienced no pain or mild discomfort, severe pain occurred in n = 23 (25.6%) and moderate pain occurred in n = 11 (12.2%). No significant statistical differences were found between the degree of pain intensity and the intervention used to minimize the pain p = 0.24. Statistically significant relationships were demonstrated between heart rate variability and the degree of pain intensity (p = 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between the newborn’s pain intensity and the mother’s opinion on the effectiveness of breastfeeding in minimizing pain. Conclusions: This study did not answer the question of which pain management method used during the heel prick was statistically more effective in reducing pain. However, the results indicate that each of the non-pharmacological interventions (breastfeeding, oral glucose dosing and non-nutritive sucking) applied during heel puncture resulted in effective pain management in most of the newborns enrolled in the study. The relationship between heart rate variability and the severity of pain was confirmed. Mothers of newborns in the breastfeeding group were satisfied with the pain relief methods used in the child and the opportunity to console their newborn during painful procedures in a technologically invasive environment.

Online grocery shopping has the potential to improve access to food, particularly among low-income households located in urban food deserts and rural communities. The primary aim of this pilot intervention was to test whether a three-armed online grocery trial improved fruit and vegetable (F&V) purchases. Rural and urban adults across seven counties in Kentucky, Maryland, and North Carolina were recruited to participate in an 8-week intervention in fall 2021. A total of 184 adults were enrolled into the following groups: (1) brick-and-mortar “BM” (control participants only received reminders to submit weekly grocery shopping receipts); (2) online-only with no support “O” (participants received weekly reminders to grocery shop online and to submit itemized receipts); and (3) online shopping with intervention nudges “O+I” (participants received nudges three times per week to grocery shop online, meal ideas, recipes, Facebook group support, and weekly reminders to shop online and to submit itemized receipts). On average, reported food spending on F/V by the O+I participants was USD 6.84 more compared to the BM arm. Online shopping with behavioral nudges and nutrition information shows great promise for helping customers in diverse locations to navigate the increasing presence of online grocery shopping platforms and to improve F&V purchases.

Published: January 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in December 2019 has spread globally. The ongoing psychological and behavioral effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which poses a major challenge to humanity, are of concern to researchers. To understand the academic community’s attention, focus and research collaboration on psychological and behavioral research during the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a macro analysis using a bibliometric approach. Using the topic selection strategy of TS = (“COVID-19” OR “coronavirus disease 2019” OR “SARS-CoV-2” OR “2019-nCoV”) AND TS = (“behavio*”) AND TS = (“psycholog*”), 2096 high-quality research articles and reviews were downloaded as data from the Web of Science core collection on 16 November 2021. Through analysis and visualization, the following conclusions are drawn in this study: (1) The popularity and importance of psychological and behavioral research under COVID-19 has increased significantly and needs further attention; (2). Related research focuses on eight hotspots, with quarantine, health care workers, the elderly, students, pregnant women, family, consumers, social media and emergency preparedness knowledge as the focus of the research object; and (3) Research collaboration is relatively high at the author, organizational and national levels. However, low-income countries need to get more attention. Furthermore, this article would help researchers make decisions for the research of psychological and behavioral issues under COVID-19 and planning for future prospects to contribute to academic development and applied methodology.
A Model to Estimate the Effect of International Traffic on Malaria Cases: The Case of Japan from 1999 to 2021
Authors: Noda Hiroyuki
Published: January 2022

Aiming to identify the potentially reduced malaria cases by stagnation of international traffic after the COVID-19 pandemic, a longitudinal analysis of malaria cases as well as entries of Japanese and foreigners was conducted using data from 5 April 1999 to 30 September 2021 in Japan. Multivariable risk ratios were calculated with the Poison regression model as a predictive model of malaria cases by the number of entries for Japanese and foreigners. A generalized regression model was used to examine an association of time trend with entries for Japanese and foreigners using data before 2019, to estimate the potentially reduced number of entries after 2020. The potentially reduced number of malaria cases was estimated by the potentially reduced number of entries for Japanese and foreigners after 2020 using a multivariable Poison regression model. The multivariable risk ratio (95% confidence intervals) of malaria case numbers per 100,000 persons increment of entries per day was 3.41 (1.50–7.77) for Japanese and 1.47 (0.92–2.35) for foreigners. During 2020, a potential reduction of 28 (95% confidence limit: 22–34) malaria cases was estimated, which accounted for 58% (52–63%) of malaria cases in Japan. These finding suggest that the stagnation of international traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the number of malaria cases in Japan. This model may be helpful for countries without indigenous malaria to predict future trends of imported malaria cases.

Published: January 2022

To raise awareness about preventive measures in COVID-19 pandemic, even though fully vaccinated. Although recent trials showed high efficacy of vaccines in preventing symptomatic infections, there are some individuals experiencing symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this case report, a fully vaccinated young dental practitioner experienced symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 55 days postvaccination with BNT162b2 Pfizer vaccine with evident ageusia. Diagnostic swabs were performed and used for viral genome sequencing. The patient fully recovered 15 days after diagnosis. Loss of smell and taste, together with nasal congestion were the main reported symptoms. The use of personal protective equipment prevented spread of infection in patients and co-workers. With the increase of people being fully vaccinated, it is still necessary to follow infection preventive protocols by correctly applying personal protective equipment. Although high efficacy has been proved, some individuals may still be vulnerable to symptomatic infection and new guidelines and markers should be adopted and investigated to find out patients for whom vaccination may not determine full immunization.

Published: January 2022

Malignant melanoma is still a serious medical problem. Relatively high mortality, a still-growing number of newly diagnosed cases, and insufficiently effective methods of therapy necessitate melanoma research. Tetracyclines are compounds with pleiotropic pharmacological properties. Previously published studies on melanotic melanoma cells ascertained that minocycline and doxycycline exerted an anti-melanoma effect. The purpose of the study was to assess the anti-melanoma potential and mechanisms of action of minocycline and doxycycline using A375 and C32 human amelanotic melanoma cell lines. The obtained results indicate that the tested drugs inhibited proliferation, decreased cell viability, and induced apoptosis in amelanotic melanoma cells. The treatment caused changes in the cell cycle profile and decreased the intracellular level of reduced thiols and mitochondrial membrane potential. The exposure of A375 and C32 cells to minocycline and doxycycline triggered the release of cytochrome c and activated initiator and effector caspases. The anti-melanoma effect of analyzed drugs appeared to be related to the up-regulation of ERK1/2 and MITF. Moreover, it was noticed that minocycline and doxycycline increased the level of LC3A/B, an autophagy marker, in A375 cells. In summary, the study showed the pleiotropic anti-cancer action of minocycline and doxycycline against amelanotic melanoma cells. Considering all results, it could be concluded that doxycycline was a more potent drug than minocycline.
Look Who’s Talking: Host and Pathogen Drivers of Staphylococcus epidermidis Virulence in Neonatal Sepsis
Authors: Joubert Isabella A. , Otto Michael , Strunk Tobias , Currie Andrew J.
Published: January 2022

Preterm infants are at increased risk for invasive neonatal bacterial infections. S. epidermidis, a ubiquitous skin commensal, is a major cause of late-onset neonatal sepsis, particularly in high-resource settings. The vulnerability of preterm infants to serious bacterial infections is commonly attributed to their distinct and developing immune system. While developmentally immature immune defences play a large role in facilitating bacterial invasion, this fails to explain why only a subset of infants develop infections with low-virulence organisms when exposed to similar risk factors in the neonatal ICU. Experimental research has explored potential virulence mechanisms contributing to the pathogenic shift of commensal S. epidermidis strains. Furthermore, comparative genomics studies have yielded insights into the emergence and spread of nosocomial S. epidermidis strains, and their genetic and functional characteristics implicated in invasive disease in neonates. These studies have highlighted the multifactorial nature of S. epidermidis traits relating to pathogenicity and commensalism. In this review, we discuss the known host and pathogen drivers of S. epidermidis virulence in neonatal sepsis and provide future perspectives to close the gap in our understanding of S. epidermidis as a cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Published: January 2022

We aimed to examine the effects of mental fatigue on the Yo-Yo test and Loughborough soccer passing and shooting tests performance using a meta-analysis. The search for studies was performed through eight bibliographic databases (Academic Search Elite, AUSPORT, Cochrane Library, PsycInfo, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science). The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the PEDro checklist. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed for data analysis. After reviewing 599 search results, seven studies with a total of ten groups were included in the review. All studies were classified as being of good methodological quality. Mental fatigue reduced the distance covered in the Yo-Yo test (Cohen’s d: −0.49; 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.66, −0.32). In the Loughborough soccer passing test, mental fatigue increased the original time needed to complete the test (Cohen’s d: −0.24; 95% CI: −0.46, −0.03), increased penalty time (Cohen’s d: −0.39; 95% CI: −0.46, −0.31), and decreased performance time (Cohen’s d: −0.52; 95% CI: −0.80, −0.24). In the Loughborough soccer shooting test, mental fatigue decreased points per shot (Cohen’s d: −0.37; 95% CI: −0.70, −0.04) and shot speed (Cohen’s d: −0.35; 95% CI: −0.64, −0.06). Overall, the findings presented in this review demonstrated that mental fatigue negatively impacts endurance-based running performance as well as soccer passing and shooting skills.

Published: January 2022

A key parameter in the strategy of news organizations remains the exploitation of factors (such as post time and post type) that enhance the engagement level within online communities on social media. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between post time and post type in correlation with audience response in the Twitter digital platform. Specifically, the study aims to ascertain how the two specific variables affect user engagement with its Twitter posts and how they shape the effectiveness of communication on social networks. The analysis includes 7.122 tweets of the Greek National Broadcasting Corporation (ERT) over four months. Moreover, the study analyzes the tone of user comments on the Twitter posts of the specific public media organizations to understand in-depth how the users communicate their views publicly. The collection of comments lasted seven weeks and they numbered 265 in 2639 tweets. Regarding the post time variable, the study came to important findings on user behavior during the 24 h, as the number of Retweets appears to increase in the morning compared to the afternoon. It was also found that as time goes on, the user is interested in leaving his personal opinion. Regarding the correlation of post type with user engagement, it was found that the accompaniment of a tweet with audiovisual material has a tempting effect on users.

Published: January 2022

In order to investigate the effect of Cr content on the microstructures and oxidation wear properties of high-boron high-speed steel (HBHSS), so as to explore oxidation wear resistant materials (e.g., hot rollers), a scanning electron microscope, an X-ray diffractometer, an electron probe X-ray microanalysis and an oxidation wear test at elevated temperatures were employed to investigate worn surfaces and worn layers. The results showed that the addition of Cr resulted in the transformation of martensite into ferrite and pearlite, while the size of the grid morphology of borides in HBHSSs was refined. After oxidation wear, oxide scales were formed and the high-temperature oxidation wear resistance of HBHSSs was gradually improved with increased additions of Cr. Meanwhile, an interaction between temperature and load in HBHSSs during oxidation wear occurred, and the temperature had more influence on the oxidation wear properties of HBHSSs. SEM observations indicated that a uniform and compact oxide film of HBHSSs in the worn surface at elevated temperatures was generated on the worn surface, and the addition of Cr also reduced the thickness of oxides and inhibited the spallation of worn layers, which was attributed to improvements in microhardness and oxidation resistance of the matrix in HBHSSs. A synergistic effect of temperature and load in HBHSSs with various Cr additions may dominate the oxidation wear process and the formation and spallation of oxide films.

Special materials are required in many applications to fulfill specific medical or industrial necessities. Biodegradable metallic materials present many attractive properties, especially mechanical ones correlated with good biocompatibility with vivant bodies. A biodegradable iron-based material was realized through electric arc-melting and induction furnace homogenization. The new chemical composition obtained presented a special property named SME (shape memory effect) based on the martensite transformation. Preliminary results about this special biodegradable material with a new chemical composition were realized for the chemical composition and structural and thermal characterization. Corrosion resistance was evaluated in Ringer’s solution through immersion tests for 1, 3, and 7 days, the solution pH was measured in time for 3 days with values for each minute, and electro-corrosion was measured using a potentiostat and a three electrode cell. The mass loss of the samples during immersion and electro-corrosion was evaluated and the surface condition was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). SME was highlighted with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results confirm the possibility of a memory effect of the materials in the wrought case and a generalized corrosion (Tafel and cyclic potentiometry and EIS) with the formation of iron oxides and a corrosion rate favorable for applications that require a longer implantation period.

Authors: Tatter Charles , Fletcher-Sandersjöö Alexander , Persson Oscar , Burström Gustav , Edström Erik , Elmi-Terander Adrian
Published: January 2022

Background and Objectives: Posterior C1–C2 fixation, with trans-articular screws (TAS) or screw-rod-construct (SRC), is the main surgical technique for atlantoaxial instability, and can be performed with a fluoroscopy-assisted free-handed technique or 3D navigation. This study aimed to evaluate complications, radiological and functional outcome in patients treated with a fluoroscopy-assisted technique. Materials and Methods: A single-center consecutive cohort study was conducted of all adult patients who underwent posterior C1–C2 fixation, using TAS or CRS, between 2005–2019. Results: Seventy-eight patients were included, with a median follow-up time of 6.8 years. Trauma was the most common injury mechanism (64%), and cervicalgia the predominant preoperative symptom (88%). TAS was used in 33%, and SRC in 67% of cases. Surgery was associated with a significant reduction in cervicalgia (from 88% to 26%, p < 0.001). The most common complications were vertebral artery injury (n = 2, 2.6%), and screw malposition (n = 5, 6.7%, of which 2 were TAS and 3 were SRC). No patients deteriorated in their functional status following surgery. Conclusions: Fluoroscopy-assisted C1–C2 fixation with TAS or SRC is a safe and effective treatment for atlantoaxial instability, with a low complication rate, few surgical revisions, and pain relief in the majority of the cases.
Novel Disulfiram Derivatives as ALDH1a1-Selective Inhibitors
Authors: Omran Ziad
Published: January 2022

Aldehyde dehydrogenase-1a1 (ALDH1a1), the enzyme responsible for the oxidation of retinal into retinoic acid, represents a key therapeutic target for the treatment of debilitating disorders such as cancer, obesity, and inflammation. Drugs that can inhibit ALDH1a1 include disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug to treat chronic alcoholism. Disulfiram, by carbamylation of the catalytic cysteines, irreversibly inhibits ALDH1a1 and ALDH2. The latter is the isozyme responsible for important physiological processes such as the second stage of alcohol metabolism. Given the fact that ALDH1a1 has a larger substrate tunnel than that in ALDH2, replacing disulfiram ethyl groups with larger motifs will yield selective ALDH1a1 inhibitors. We report herein the synthesis of new inhibitors of ALDH1a1 where (hetero)aromatic rings were introduced into the structure of disulfiram. Most of the developed compounds retained the anti-ALDH1a1 activity of disulfiram; however, they were completely devoid of inhibitory activity against ALDH2.

Большинство пациентов с ампутационным дефектом нижних конечностей являются гражданами пожилого возраста с высокой ко- и полиморбидностью, наличием нескольких гериатрических синдромов, что неблагоприятно влияет на прогноз, снижает реабилитационный потенциал, в ряде случаев приводит к развитию сердечно-сосудистых осложнений, ампутации второй конечности, тяжелой инвалидизации и высокой послеоперационной летальности. Ключевым звеном процесса реабилитации инвалидов с культей нижней конечности является обеспечение их функциональным протезом. В статье приведен анализ заболеваемости, первичной инвалидности в период 2015-2019 гг., гендерных, возрастных и клинических характеристик пациентов, проживающих в Санкт-Петербурге, которым выполнена ампутация нижней конечности вследствие сосудистой патологии. Установлено, что отсутствует информация о выживаемости пациентов после проведения ампутации в различные сроки постгоспитального периода в Санкт-Петербурге. Выявлен выраженный дисбаланс между количеством выполняемых ампутаций нижних конечностей ежегодно и количеством обращений инвалидов в бюро медико-социальной экспертизы для обеспечения техническими средствами реабилитации и направлением на первичное протезирование, реабилитацию.

The majority of patients with amputation defect of the lower extremities are elderly citizens with high co- and polymorbidity, the presence of several geriatric syndromes, which adversely affects the prognosis, reduces the rehabilitation potential, in some cases leads to the development of cardiovascular complications, amputation of the second limb, severe disability and high postoperative mortality. The key link in the rehabilitation process of disabled people with a lower limb stump is to provide them with a functional prosthesis. The article provides an analysis of morbidity, primary disability in the period from 2015 to 2019, gender, age and clinical characteristics of patients living in St. Petersburg who underwent amputation of the lower limb due to obliterating artery diseases is presented. It was found that there is no information on the survival rate of patients after amputation at various times of the post-hospital period in St. Petersburg. We have identified a pronounced imbalance between the number of lower limb amputations performed and the number of applications of disabled people to the bureau of medical and social expertise for providing technical means of rehabilitation and referral to primary prosthetics.

Published: January 2022

Education must be returned to its original khittah, that is, to humanize man with all the potential he has. In this framework, important efforts in the of Islamic liberation must be the spirit and foundation of ontological, epistemological as well as axiological education. Among the contemporary Islamic thoughts that give awareness that Islam has the power of liberation is the Asghar Ali Engineer which is derived primarily from the Qur'an and Sunnah. This finding can interpret the doctrine of Islam as a religion of liberation in education that weighs from the thoughts of Asghar Ali Engineer who has relevance and urgency. The results of this study explain about alternative solutions to the problems Islamic education in the era of globalization, namely: 1) greater attention to the reality of living in the world, can be used as a foundation for compiling the Islamic education curriculum. 2) Fight against the pro status quo. Islamic education should be based on the spirit of respecting humans as beings thinking, conscious, potentially and equipped with the right to determine their own life choices. 3) Side with marginalized communities and encourage them to actively participate. 4) Liberation theology emphasizes on the problem of praxis rather than on abstract-speculative thoughts. So that the nuances of Islamic education are quite felt is the pressure on the rational, intellectual, ethical aspects, very few that enter the applied area, skills or technology as one of the meanings that can be taken from the spirit of Islamic liberation theology.

Authors: TOPÇU İlker Bekir , TUNA Abdullah
Published: January 2022

Ferrocement birçok alanda insanların sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısal gereksinimlerine cevap vermektedir. Genel anlamda donatılı bir harç çeşidi olan ferrocement yapay kaya ve heykel yapımında dünyanın birçok yerinde kullanılmıştır. Tarih boyunca, birbiriyle bağlantısı olmayan kültürler, doğadan ilham alarak onu sanatsal bir ifade olarak taklit etmiştir. Kullanılan malzemelerin zamanla gerçek kaya, taş ve tahtadan Portland bazlı çimentoya dönüşmesi, doğayı taklit fikirlerinin ekonomik bir çözümle uygulanmasıdır. Daha çok bahçelerde ve botanik yaşam alanlarında ve çeşitli dekoratif amaçlarla peyzaj çalışmalarında yapımı basit ve maliyeti düşük olduğu için, ferrocement ile yapay kayalar kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada bu tür ferrocement uygulamalarla ilgili genel bilgiler verilmiştir.
Procedure for the elaboration of institutional policies on University social responsibility
Authors: Pérez-Bravo Julia
Published: January 2022

It is essential to make knowledge explicit in a clear way so that it can last and be passed on for the benefit of future generations. In reference to the establishment of institutional policies on University Social Responsibility (USR) in the institution under study, there are still areas of opportunity, which is why the objective of this work was established as a clear procedure for creating institutional public policies on USR, which will serve to detect needs and propose appropriate policies that will influence or contribute to the development of the various dimensions of USR in the institution. A mixed type of research was used, gathering information from various bibliographical sources and from teachers from different faculties that allowed to validate that the proposed procedure is correct, the approach was qualitative, and observation and dialectics were used as a research technique. The study was carried out by proposing the procedure derived from documentary research, own experience and discussion with teachers who participated in the exercise of drawing up proposals for institutional public policies using the procedure in question to corroborate its effectiveness. The main result of the work was to establish the procedure for the development of institutional policies on USR with their respective techniques and instruments, which will help to develop institutional policies and contribute to the implementation of USR in the institution under study, and in the medium term, to obtain distinctions from national and international organizations in this area.
Design ativismo ou design ativista?
Authors: Prado Gheysa Caroline
Published: January 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as terminologias de uma área de atuação do design, design ativista ou design ativismo, buscando estabelecer uma recomendação de sua utilização em português. Este campo questiona o status quo em suas práticas, com a intenção de influenciar políticas públicas e práticas culturais em prol de sociedades mais equânimes. Para tal, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura narrativa em textos canônicos do design que em algum ponto questionam sua forma de atuação usual, em autores e autoras precursores do uso destes termos em âmbito global e local para compreender as diferenças entre eles. Também foi realizada revisão bibliográfica sistemática para identificar a aplicação corrente dos termos nas publicações existentes. Os resultados apontam para uma prevalência do termo design acivism nas publicações de língua inglesa e design ativista naquelas em português. A partir da análise dos achados e das discussões, recomenda-se a adoção do termo design ativismo por este abranger melhor suas práticas de uso e significados.
«Asian Backstage Diplomacy» in Building Bridges Between the USSR and Great Britain in 1924
Authors: Улунян А.А.
Published: January 2022

В статье исследуется роль и место «азиатской периферии» в период установления британо-российских отношений в 1924 г. Британские архивные документы позволяют сделать вывод о сохранявшейся значимости для британской стороны действий СССР в сопредельных с британской Индией странах. Одновременно британские дипломатические службы и разведывательное сообщество обращало особое внимание на складывавшуюся в советской Центральной Азии обстановку с целью выяснения возможного её влияния на британские позиции в регионе, а также советское продвижение на Восток в приграничные государства. В статье делается вывод о стремлении лейбористского правительства Макдональда избежать обострения взаимоотношений с СССР во имя достижения главной цели – подписания и ратификации договоров с Москвой несмотря на очевидные активные действия последней в индийском прикордонье. Автор приводит документальные свидетельства и оценки британскими дипломатами, а также военными действий СССР как в самой Центральной Азии, где советское руководство начинало проводить новую национально-территориальную политику, так и в приграничных с ней странах.

The study examines the role of the Asian periphery in the establishment of diplomatic relations between the USSR and Great Britain in 1924. British archival documents suggest that the United Kingdom regarded Soviet activities in countries bordering British India as extremely important. At the same time, the British foreign office and intelligence were paying close attention to the situation that was unfolding in Soviet Central Asia, trying to assess its impact on the British standing in the region, as well as the possible Soviet expansion eastwards into the neighboring countries. The article concludes that MacDonald's Labour government wanted to avoid confrontation with the USSR in order to attain its main goal — signing and ratifying agreements with the Soviet state, despite it being rather active near the borders of India. The author cites documents and assessments by British diplomats and military officers. These sources cover both Soviet actions in Central Asia itself, where the USSR leadership was beginning to pursue a new national and territorial policy, as well as in the countries bordering that region.

This study investigates the effect of local government internal control systems on local government administration performance. We use secondary data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Financial and Development Supervisory Agency, Indonesian Statistics Bureau, and respective local government financial statements and websites. We generate a set of panel data from 508 local governments during 2017-2019 with 1524 observations analysed with panel data regression. We evidence that several local governments still have low and medium administration performance in 2017-2019 that has not met the expectation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as stated in the strategic plan in 2015. Our analysis provides empirical evidence that control environment, risk assessment, and information and communication positively affect local government administration performance. Our result provides implications to the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency to continuously optimise internal control system development programs in Indonesian local governments and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have higher enforcement of local government administration performance achievement.
Kórházak hatékonysági tartalékainak feltárása DEA-módszerrel
Authors: Kucsma Daniella , Varga Krisztina
Published: January 2022

Tanulmányunkban a magyar egészségügyben kiemelt szerepet betöltő, fekvőbeteg-ellátást nyújtó kórházak relatív hatékonyságának vizsgálatára vállalkozunk. A Magyar Nemzeti Bank 2020-as évi Versenyképességi Jelentése alapján a magyar egészségügyi rendszer számos tartalékkal rendelkezik, és ezen tartalékok felhasználásával a rendszer fenntarthatósága javítható. A 2015–2019 időszakra vonatkozó vizsgálat során kiemelt figyelmet fordítottunk a vizsgált ágazatban elérhető és értelmezhető mutatók meghatározására. Ezen kihívás megválaszolására alkalmas a relatív hatékonyságvizsgálat módszere (DEA). Elemzésünk egységei magyarországi állami fenntartású intézmények, az egyes egységek az összes ágyszám alapján kerültek tipologizálásra. A vizsgálatba azon általános profilú kórházakat vontuk be, amelyek ágyszáma 600 és 1200 db ágy közötti. A program futtatása során kapott eredmények egyértelműen megmutatták, hogy vannak olyan intézmények, amelyek nem működnek olyan hatékonyan, mint a vizsgálatba bevont szervezetek többsége, ugyanakkor a próbavizsgálatok alapján meghatározható gyakorlati alkalmazásához még további kutatások, valamint a mutatószámok pontosítása szükséges.
The functio-spatial structure of airport surroundings: the case of Kraków Airport
Authors: Bajwoluk Tomasz
Published: January 2022

The area around Krakow airport is an attractive developmental urban area. The concentration of passenger traffic and the flow of goods is conducive to new development projects. These projects are associated with the operation of airports, as well as new uses which see the proximity of an airport as an additional asset in operating a business based on access to a form of high-speed transport. This paper presents the findings of research concerning the existing spatial structure, transport accessibility and compositional determinants within an area around Krakow Airport, which can be used to assess the phenomena present and formulate principles and trajectories of shaping them in the future. The study was based on an analysis of selected elements of the existing functio-spatial structure, as well as available materials and subject-specific planning documents. Due to the specificity of areas around airports, which undergo dynamic change, it appears key to determine the individual form of development and land cover, that skilfully combines modernity and comfort of use with meshing with the local landscape, featuring a network of linkages and the character of suburban space. The issues present in this area are distinctive of many cities and require coherent land development proposals.
