Evaluation of variable p16 immunostaining patterns, Ki-67 indices and HPV status in cervical SILs and squamous cell carcinomas
Authors: Singh Priti , Kaushik Sanjay , Thakur Brijesh , Acharya Seema , Bhardwaj Aparna , Bahal Neelima
Published: January 2023

Objective:

The present study evaluates the immunoexpression of p16 and Ki-67 in cervical squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and carcinomas and correlates their expression with clinicopathological features and HPV-DNA status.

Material and Methods:

A total 36 included cases of SIL and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were subjected to p16 and Ki-67 immunostaining. p16 staining was evaluated depending on grading, distribution, localization pattern, intensity and IHC score. Ki-67 expression was graded based on percentage of positive cells.

Results:

Incidence of HSIL and SCC cases was found to be significantly increased with parity > 5. p16 grade III diffuse nucleocytoplasmic immunostaining was observed in 62.5% LSIL, 80% HSIL and 87% SCC cases. Significant association of p16 staining intensity, IHC score and Ki-67 indices was noted with increasing grades of SILs and carcinomas.

Conclusion:

Our experience indicates that a combination of p16 and Ki-67 immunostaining may be useful to determine the severity of dysplastic change.

Published: January 2023

Background:

The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been rapidly spreading on a global scale affecting many countries and territories. There is rapid onset of generalized inflammation resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome. We, thus, aimed to explore the potential of immune-inflammatory parameters in predicting the severity of COVID-19.

Materials and Methods:

Age, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reaction protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) of 611 patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 were investigated and compared. Patients were divided on the basis of severity and survival into two groups. Data were expressed as mean or median values and percentages. The receiver operating characteristic curve was applied to determine the optimal cut-off values of these biomarkers.

Results:

The median age was 50 years and the male to female ratio was 3.7:1. The mean NLR, LMR, PLR, LDH, CRP, and Procalcitonin for the non-severe group were 4.16, 10.8, 133.7, 666.1, 49.9, and 0.15, respectively. In the severe group mean values of the above-mentioned immune-inflammatory markers were 17.8, 4.69, 268.2, 1277, 158.6, and 3.05, respectively. Elevated levels were significantly associated with disease severity. In ROC curve analysis, NLR had the largest area under the curve at 0.923 with the highest specificity (0.83) and sensitivity (0.88).

Conclusion:

This study shows that NLR, PLR, LDH, CRP, and Procalcitonin may be a rapid, widely available, useful predictive factor for determining the severity of COVID-19 patients.
Senescence in oral lichen planus as assessed by the immunohistochemical evaluation of senescence marker protein-30 (Regucalcin)
Authors: Peter Celestina D. , Shashidara R , Jain Vipin , Haragannavar Vanishree C. , Samuel Pradeep , Nayak Suhas R.
Published: January 2023

Background:

Oral lichen planus is a T-cell-mediated chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 1% to 2% of the population, the etiology of which is currently unknown. The objectives of this study were to observe if senescence occurs in oral lichen planus, through the assessment of the immunohistochemical expression of a novel marker for senescence called Senescence marker protein-30 or regucalcin, and compare the expression to that in oral lichenoid reaction and non-specific inflammation.

Subjects and Methods:

The study material consisted of 30 cases of oral lichen planus, 15 cases of oral lichenoid reaction and 15 cases of non-specific inflammation. The number of positive cells in ten randomly selected high power fields were counted in the epithelium and the connective tissue separately and the mean was determined.

Results:

Mann–Whitney U test was used to statistically analyze if there was any significant difference in the expression of Senescence marker protein-30 between oral lichen planus, oral lichenoid reaction and non-specific inflammation. Even though a greater expression was seen in the oral lichen planus cases than oral lichenoid reaction, the difference in both the epithelium and connective tissue was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:

This study shows that in addition to the already known mechanisms like apoptosis and increased cell proliferation rates, the activated T-lymphocytes may also trigger a senescent change in the cells of oral lichen planus. As with the other mechanisms, this is also seen only in a small proportion of the cases.

Published: January 2023

A 19-year-old male from a rural background with no prior co-morbidities came with chief complaints of fever for 4 days, associated with chills, rigors, myalgias and high coloured urine. On general examination, pallor was present. Vitals and systemic examination were normal. Routine blood investigations were sent, and two sets of blood cultures were sent. The patient was empirically started on ceftriaxone. Complete urine examination showed >20 red blood cells (RBCs)/high-power field (HPF) with four to five RBC casts/HPF. Initial creatine phosphokinase was 3216 U/L. The patient's fever spikes continued, and antibiotic was changed to piperacillin-tazobactam after 48 h and then to meropenem. Fever spikes continued. The patient developed pancytopenia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Final blood culture report grew Brucella melitensis. The patient was started on streptomycin and doxycycline. The patient improved clinically and discharged in clinically stable condition.

High amylase concentration in drainage liquid can early predict proximal and distal intestinal anastomotic leakages: A prospective observational study
Authors: Amroun Koceila , Deguelte Sophie , Djerada Zoubir , Ramont Laurent , Perrenot Cyril , Rached Linda , Renard Yohan , Rhaiem Rami , Kianmanesh Reza
Published: January 2023

Background:

Anastomotic leak (AL) is a serious complication in digestive surgery. Early diagnosis might allow clinicians to anticipate appropriate management. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of amylase concentration in drain fluid for the early diagnosis of digestive tract AL.

Materials and Methods:

Hundred and fourteen consecutive patients “at risk” of AL, in whom a flexible drainage was placed by surgeon's choice after digestive anastomosis were included. Patients with eso-gastric, bilio-digestive, and pancreatic anastomoses were excluded. Drain amylase measurement (DAM) was routinely performed on postoperative day (POD) 1, 3, 5–7. DAM values were compared between patients with postoperative AL versus patients without AL. A receiver-operating curve (ROC) with calculation of the areas under the ROC curves area under curves was performed and a cutoff value of DAM was calculated.

Results:

AL occurred in 25 patients (AL group) and 89 patients did not present AL (C group). The mean DAM was significantly higher in AL group versus C Group on POD 1, 3, and 5. A cutoff value of 307 IU/L predicted the occurrence of AL with a sensitivity and specificity of 91% and 100%, respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 100% and 97.5%, respectively. Patients with AL had an elevated DAM prior to the appearance of any clinical signs of AL.

Conclusion:

High level DAM could accurately predict AL for proximal and distal digestive tract anastomoses. This simple, noninvasive, and low-cost method can accurately predict early AL and help physicians to perform appropriate imaging and treatment.

Authors: Rathi Pranita , Talwar Jaspreet Kaur , Athavale Neeraj , Dabadghav Rachana , Shyam Ashok , Sancheti Parag
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND:

Neck pain nowadays is the most prevalent symptom in adolescents due to increased frequency of smartphone usage in improper postures. Consequence of this can lead to complex set of symptoms such as neck pain, upper back pain, tingling numbness in upper limb, thumb pain which is commonly termed as "text neck syndrome" (TNS).

AIMS:

To determine the awareness, perception, and knowledge regarding preventive measures, health hazards, and causes of TNS in adolescents.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN:

An observational cross-sectional study; subjects were recruited from Pune city during the months of December to March 2022.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

Examination of 302 adolescents was done using the convenience sampling method. A prevalidated self-made questionnaire for data collection using was administered on online platform.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED:

Descriptive statistical method.

RESULTS:

86.4% population use their smartphone for >1 h/day. 67.2% have heard, 32.8% have never heard about TNS. 47.70% population is aware about all the mentioned causes. 20.50% population is aware about holding smartphones at eye level. Preference of only 11.60% of adolescents is fingers for texting on smartphones 67.2% who have heard about TNS, 58.30% are aware about preventive measures.

CONCLUSIONS:

The awareness, knowledge, and perception regarding causes, health hazards of TNS is good. There is a lack of knowledge about preventive measures; hence, the practice of the same is poor. There is a need to create the awareness regarding text neck in adolescents in terms of preventive measures.
Bohr–Rogosinski radius for a certain class of close-to-convex harmonic mappings

Let$ \mathcal {B} $be the class of analytic functions$ f $in the unit disk$ \mathbb {D}=\{z\in \mathbb {C} : |z|<1\} $such that$ |f(z)|<1 $for all$ z\in \mathbb {D} $. If$ f\in \mathcal {B} $of the form$ f(z)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }a_nz^n $, then$ \sum _{n=0}^{\infty }|a_nz^n|\leq 1 $for$ |z|=r\leq 1/3 $and$ 1/3 $cannot be improved. This inequality is called Bohr inequality and the quantity$ 1/3 $is called Bohr radius. If$ f\in \mathcal {B} $of the form$ f(z)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }a_nz^n $, then$ |\sum _{n=0}^{N}a_nz^n|<1\;\; \mbox {for}\;\; |z|<{1}/{2} $and the radius$ 1/2 $is the best possible for the class$ \mathcal {B} $. This inequality is called Bohr–Rogosinski inequality and the corresponding radius is called Bohr–Rogosinski radius. Let$ \mathcal {H} $be the class of all complex-valued harmonic functions$ f=h+\bar {g} $defined on the unit disk$ \mathbb {D} $, where$ h $and$ g $are analytic in$ \mathbb {D} $with the normalization$ h(0)=h^{\prime }(0)-1=0 $and$ g(0)=0 $.

О сумме тригонометрического синус-ряда с монотонными коэффициентами
Authors: Belov Aleksandr Sergeevich
Published: January 2023

Доказывается, что для каждого натурального $n$ сопряженное ядро Дирихле $\widetilde {D}_n(x)=\sum _{k=1}^{n}\sin (kx)$ полуаддитивно на отрезке $[0,2\pi ]$, т.е. для любых неотрицательных чисел $x_1$ и $x_2$ таких, что $x_1 + x_2\le 2\pi $, справедливо неравенство $\widetilde {D}_n(x_1) + \widetilde {D}_n(x_2) \ge \widetilde {D}_n(x_1 + x_2)$, причем в случае, если числа $x_1$ и $x_2$ положительны и $x_1 + x_2 < 2\pi $, равенство имеет место тогда и только тогда, когда $\widetilde {D}_n(x_1) = \widetilde {D}_n(x_2) = \widetilde {D}_n(x_1 + x_2) = 0$. Это свойство сопряженного ядра Дирихле используется при изучении суммы синус-ряда с монотонными коэффициентами. Также рассмотрены свойства некоторых неотрицательных тригонометрических полиномов.
Understanding Vocabulary of L2 Learners of Japanese
Authors: Moritoki Škof Nagisa
Published: January 2023

The analysis of this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of reading skills manifested by L2 learners of Japanese. In order to analyze the reading process of L2 learners of Japanese, we analyzed the data of 24 non-kanji learners of Japanese that were obtained from the “Reading corpus of non-native speakers of Japanese.” Using Yang's (2006) categorization, we analyzed learners’ understanding of words in the text through two different situations, (1) when they lack the relevant language skills, and (2) when they encounter unknown words while reading a text. The results show that learners use various tools, depending on the purpose, to find appropriate meanings of individual words and to understand the meanings of whole sentences and texts. Also, the results suggest that appropriate language knowledge prevents incorrect assumptions in comprehension and supports successful comprehension of whole texts.
On the long time behaviour of single stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley neurons with constant signal, and a construction of circuits of interacting neurons showing self-organized rhythmic oscillations
Authors: Höpfner Reinhard
Published: January 2023

The stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley neurons considered in this paper replace
time-constant deterministic input $a dt$ of the classical deterministic model
by increments $\vartheta dt + dX_t$ of a stochastic process: $X$ is
Ornstein-Uhlenbeck with volatility $\sigma>0$ and backdriving force $\tau>0$,
and we call $\vartheta>0$ the signal. We have ergodicity and strong laws of
large numbers for various functionals of the process, and characterize 'quiet
behaviour' and 'regular spiking' as events whose probability depends on the
parameters $(\tau,\sigma)$ and on the signal $\vartheta$. The notions of quiet
behaviour and regular spiking allow for a construction of circuits of
interacting stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley neurons, combining excitation with
inhibition according to a bloc structure along the circuit, on which
self-organized rhythmic oscillations can be observed.

LINGUAGGIO, COMICITÀ E PERSONAGGIO FEMMINILE NELL’EPITALAMIO GIUDEO-CATALANO PIYYU? NA’EH
Authors: Baricci Erica
Published: January 2023

Ad oggi sono noti alla comunità scientifica cinque epitalami giudeo-catalani, conservati in due manoscritti (Gerusalemme, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, ms. 8° 3312 e Oxford, Bodleian Library, ms. Lyell 98) risalenti a metà XV secolo e provenienti da ambiente provenzale. Tra questi, una particolare attenzione spetta a piyyu? na’eh, un ‘canto festivo’ pensato per i festeggiamenti che seguono il rito nuziale. Questo canto è una parodia, dai toni umoristici e dalle forti allusioni erotiche, che si presenta in forma di dialogo tra i due sposi, un vecchio e una ragazza. Il primo non vuole consumare l’amore, data l’età, ma, per l’insistenza della moglie, le propone infine di farsi sostituire da un baldo giovanotto. L’interesse di questo testo riguarda innanzitutto il linguaggio, e in secondo luogo la sua forma letteraria. Per quanto riguarda il linguaggio, esso è scritto in un giudeo-catalano in cui la componente ebraica è sottilmente intrecciata a quella romanza. Gli ebraismi sono funzionali a suscitare il riso del pubblico, perché calati in un contesto triviale in cui la loro sacralità originaria crea un forte e comico contrasto. Alcuni dei termini ebraici hanno mutato il loro significato, assumendone uno connotato, secondo un fenomeno di slittamento semantico tipico dei Jewish Languages. Per questa ragione, piyyu? na’eh è anche un prezioso testimone linguistico di una fase poco attestata, perché alquanto antica, del giudeo-catalano parlato. A livello letterario, piyyu? na’eh è un testo assai ricercato, i cui toni ‘popolareggianti’ sono ottenuti attraverso un sapiente uso del linguaggio ‘colloquiale’, della metrica, della caratterizzazione stereotipica dei personaggi. In questo saggio, presento innanzitutto l’analisi semantica della componente ebraica, approfondendo le varie categorie linguistiche e/o stilistiche in cui possono essere fatti rientrare gli ebraismi del testo, per mostrare come questa dinamica riproduca ed esasperi per intenti comici la prassi linguistica quotidiana degli ebrei catalani dell’epoca e costituisca, dunque, sia un fatto stilistico, sia una preziosa testimonianza storico-linguistica. In secondo luogo, mostro come piyyu? na’eh sia stato composto da un autore dotto che disponeva di fonti letterarie ebraiche e romanze e propongo una contestualizzazione di questo tipo di testo nell’ambito del genere letterario romanzo della pastorella  e della canzone di donna, in cui la figura femminile costituisce l’occasione della scenetta umoristica e la giustificazione del ricorso a un codice mistilingue.

Recently, Casadei [4] provided an explicit formula for statistical marginal model in terms of Poisson-Gamma mixture. This model involving certain polynomials which play the key role in reference analysis of the signal and background model in counting experiments. The principal object of this paper is to present a natural further step toward the mathematical properties concerning this polynomials. We ﬁrst obtain explicit representations for these polynomials in form of the Laguerre polynomials and the conﬂuent hyper-geometric function and then based on these representations we derive a number of useful properties including generating functions, recurrence relations, diﬀerential equation, Rodrigueś formula, ﬁnite sums and integral transforms.

Published: January 2023

The paper deals with the analysis of comparative similes at the lexical, morphosyntactic and semantic level that operate within the concept of wealth. The corpus was extracted from phraseological dictionaries of the Serbian and German languages on the basis of semantic and structural criteria, which was confirmed by contextualized examples from the language of the written media. After a detailed analysis of the components of similes with a special focus on their semantics and with intercultural explanations, a contrastive analysis identified different types of equivalence for similes in Serbian as a source language and in German as a target language. Contrastive analysis was conducted in one direction. The importance of the paper is reflected in the theoretical analysis and definition of similes, as well as in its applicability in the field of lexicography and language teaching.
O OBLIČKOJ REALIZACIJI LEKSIČKIH ANGLICIZAMA U SRPSKOM JEZIKU U KOMENTARIMA NA DRUŠTVENOJ MREŽI JUTJUB

This paper deals with morphological adaptation of Anglicisms used by speakers of Serbian when posting comments on YouTube. Given the main focus of our re- search, we rely on Prćićʼs classification of Anglicisms in Serbian. According to Prćić, there are three types of Anglicisms in Serbian: raw, obvious and hidden. Raw Anglicisms are not adapted in any way and are used as such in Serbian. For example, in all-inclusive aranžman, all-inclusive is an example of a raw, non-adapted Anglicism. Obvious Anglicisms are Eng- lish words that have been fully adapted to the linguistic system of the Serbian language. These anglicisms are orthographically, phonologically, and morphosyntactically Serbian, but it is obvious that they are loanwords. For example, lajk (eng. like), daunloudovati (eng. download)... Hidden Anglicisms refer to the phenomenon of Serbian words and phrases being used in the same way as their English counterparts. For example, Serbian word kopija might develop the same meaning as its English counterpart copy. In addition to Prćićʼs classification, we simultaneously rely on Filipovićʼs ideas about the primary and secondary morphological adaptation of English loanwords. Primary morphological adaptation entails deciding how the word will be written and pronounced in Serbian. After that, the word undergoes secondary morphological adaptation, that is, it must be used in accordance with all the morphosyntactic rules of Serbian. New forms of the word (for example, adjectival forms...) are derived using standard Serbian affixes. The goal of this paper was to describe the ways in which subscribers adapt English words, if they happen to do that at all. The analysis of the morphological adaptation of An- glicisms in Serbian is based on a corpus of 100 Anglicisms that Serbian subscribers incorpo- rated into their comments. The research results were the following: (1) the most commonly used Anglicisms are raw and obvious Anglicisms; (2) both raw and obvious Anglicisms undergo secondary morphological adaptation (for example, klilbejterski, contentom); (3) ex- amples of hidden Anglicisms were not found in the corpus; (4) subscribers sometimes adapt only one or one part of the Anglicism (for example, family frendli, clickbejter; Ajde lajk ko zeli part 2); (5) morphological adaptation is varied, arbitrary, and entirely subjective. Given that the use of raw and obvious Anglicisms, particularly on different social media platforms, such as YouTube, remains unabated, it is necessary to raise awareness about the importance of proper morphological adaptation of foreign words in Serbian, which is one of the essential prerequisites for their proper usage and preservation of the Serbian language.
ANALIZA FRAZEOLOŠKIH JEDINICA U ROMANU „DERVIŠ I SMRT“ I NjIHOVO PREVOĐENjE NA ITALIJANSKI JEZIKA

Il presente contributo ha lo scopo di analizzare le espressioni idiomatiche nel romanzo Il derviscio e la morte del celebre scrittore Meša Selimović. Il primo obiettivo è quello di esaminare il grado di equivalenza nella traduzione degli esempi estratti dal corpus. Altri obiettivi si rispecchiano nell’analisi delle caratteristiche semantiche e morfologiche. Cercando di illuminare quanto difficile e complesso può essere il processo della traduzione, abbiamo cercato di fare una classificazione delle unità fraseologiche tradotte. Infine, i risul- tati ci hanno mostrato che vi sono tre tipi di equivalenza nella traduzione: totale, parziale e zero. Inoltre, la presente ricerca ha scoperto che esistono anche delle unità fraseologiche che non hanno un equivalente nella lingua d’arrivo. Le espressioni idiomatiche estratte dal romanzo appartengono ai vari campi semantici (astratto, religioso, somatismi, zoonimi, ecc.). Quanto alla struttura morfologica, va detto che la maggior parte delle unità fraseo- logiche sono costruite dai verbi, aggettivi, nomi, avverbi ecc. Quest’analisi ha sottolineato quanto difficile può essere tradurre le espressioni idiomatiche nei testi letterari, ma soprat- tutto nel caso in cui la mancanza di un dizionario fraseologico serbo-italiano è evidente. Infine, va evidenziato che questo lavoro può magari essere una stima per ulteriori ricerche nell’ambito degli studi contrastivi nel sistema fraseologico di due lingue.
SISTEM GLAGOLSKIH PREDIKATA U „USTAVU REPUBLIKE SRBIJE“
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Ribać Milojka
Published: January 2023

The conducted analysis examined the syntactic features of simple and complex verbal predicates in the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia, the supreme legal act that has a prescriptive function. Since patient is the dominant instance in the mentioned document, the function of predicate occupies a central place in the analysis. By combining functional and structural criteria, the place of verbal predicates in the corpus that belongs to the administrative functional style is determined. Bearing in mind that this style is charac- terized primarily by nominal expression, the analysis seeks to examine how this character- istic is reflected in the use of verbal predicates. The research results showed the following: 1) Simple verbal predicates appear in the corpus as predicates of both independent and dependent clauses, with the dominant use of the present tense which gives the impres- sion of validity of prescribed norms. The use of simple verbal predicates consisting of transitive verbs with the particle se is frequent, with the purpose of achieving anonymous and impersonal character of the text through the neutralization of the subject. Existential type impersonal sentences are sporadically found in the corpus, with a logical subject in genitive and a negative impersonal form of the verb imati, which contributes to a clear formulation of legal definitions; 2) Both simple and complex verbal predicates often appear in the corpus in the form of the reflexive passive. The first part of such predicates contains verbs moći and smeti (which express deontic modality), as well as aspectual verbs počinjati, nastavljati, nastaviti and prestajati. Regarding modal verbs within complex predicates, adjectives dužan, slobodan, sprečen i ovlašćen are found in the text. Their presence shows that this way of constructing a complex verbal predicate is very productive. All copulative adjective expres- sions in the corpus are accompanied by full verbs in the form of da + present, which seeks to achieve a communicative exchange between the government and citizens. A decomposed predicate biti u mogućnosti is found as well, which functions as the modal part of a complex verbal predicate and represents another indicator of the tendency of using nominal expres- sions within the system of verbal predicates.
JOSIP KULUNDŽIĆ KAO GLUMAČKI PEDAGOG
Authors:   University of Priština ‒ Kosovska Mitrovica, Faculty of Arts, Savković Nemanja
Published: January 2023

Josip Kulundžić’s engagement in the field of drama pedagogy was multi- faceted and fruitful. For almost three decades, he taught in state drama schools and a private drama studio. Kulundžić’s pedagogical work ranged from the scientific field of theatrology to the artistic fields of acting, directing and dramaturgy. This paper reports on Kulundžić’s drama pedagogy, manifested in two aspects: theoretical, which refers to designing drama curriculum, and practical, which refers to the implementation of the curriculum in teaching drama. The data collection method, content analysis method, biographical and compara- tive methods were used in the research. Based on Kulundžić’s own writings on pedagogy, on testimonies given by his students, fellow professors and assistants, artistic collaborators and managers, as well as on theater experts’ and critics’ opinions, it can be concluded that Kulundžić was deeply dedicated to pedagogical issues and that his approach in working with young actors was enthousiastic – he taught them dramatic theory, but also supported their creative expression on stage, revealed their hidden potentials, encouraged and moti- vated them. These testimonies lead to the conclusion that Josip Kulundžić deserved to get a significant place in the field of drama theory and practice.

Research on the comprehension and production of syntactic units in children with developmental language disorders indicates the presence of various deficits. Given the insufficient research on syntactic abilities in this group of children in the Serbian- speaking area, the aim of the research is to determine the characteristics of syntactic aware- ness in children with developmental language disorder and consider the implications that are significant for school practice. The sample consisted of 240 children aged five to seven and a half, divided into two groups, i.e. children with developmental language disorders and children with typical development. The syntactic awareness test was carried out using the CELF-4 battery of language assessment tests. The obtained results showed that children with a developmental language disorder show significantly more deficits in comprehension and expression of syntactic units com- pared to children with typical development. In addition to mandatory treatment of language disorders, children with developmental language disorders need additional encouragement in styding at a younger school age. Specific characteristics of teacher’s speech in the school environment have been identified as stimulating for the development of language abilities in this group of children. Emphasis is placed on the need for teachers to use strategies that support the development and use of syntactic abilities in this group of children. These strategies can be used in more or less structured ways, according to children’s level of de- velopment, abilities and needs.

Authors: Mishra Pradeep
Published: January 2023

There is a link between economic progress and Financial Development. In order to analyze the potential for influencing Economic Growth, this study will look at the underlying elements that drive the development of Syria’s Financial Sector. The research team is also speculating on how much Economic Growth these effects will bring. A Dynamic Linear Model that takes into account Financial Reforms and changes on the Legal System was used to analyze the Impact of Financial Development on Economic Growth between 1980 and 2018. We were able to measure many dimensions of Financial Development with the use of a new IMF Financial Development Indicator, overcoming the limits of single traditional variables that have been widely used. The ARDL Bounds Test approach, which is based on unit root tests, was used. The Error Correction Model was also applied. The country’s Financial Development had a favorable and statistically significant effect on Economic Growth in Syria in the short and long terms. A lot of factors influence Economic Growth, including the Legal System, overall Government Expenditure, and the Exchange Rate. The Supply Leading Hypothesis of Patrick (1966) was realized in Syria,hence Financial Development leads to Economic Growth, consistent with the proposal of “more Finance, more Growth” (Levine, 2003). Financial Development is a necessary condition and prerequisite for Economic Growth in Syria, which is consistent with the (Finance Lead Growth Theory). The model could be very useful in decision-making, especially those related to reform policies to promote the SDGs or to modify current policies in response to a possible global financial crisis or shock.

Authors: Shyshkova Nataliia
Published: January 2023

The study aimed to determine the positional content of the use of high technology in the system of solidarity of community members in the implementation of business processes to ensure efficiency in the socio-environmental and economic development triad. The general research methodology was based on a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of introducing high technology into the solidarity economy according to the following predictors: digitalization, informatization, and professionalization levels. Blockchain technology (N = 3,073 projects) was selected as an example of high technology, which is used to stimulate the decentralization of the economy and strengthen social influence in the solidarity economy. The use of complex research methods to achieve this goal — situational analysis, systems analysis, reproductive analysis, and structural-functional analysis — was proposed as the generalizing evaluation block. The research results confirmed the main hypothesis: the higher the level of socioeconomic development of the solidarity economy model in terms of digitalization (r=0.866), informatization (r = 0.754), and professionalization (r = 0.564), the more efficient socially-oriented business models that involve high technologies are in a particular territory. The study also shows that the blockchain can provide additional (65% of projects) and transformational solutions (25% of projects) for alternative energy projects.
JDC Quarterly Digest on Labor Market Access and Outcomes for Refugees
Authors:   World Bank - UNHCR Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement
Published: January 2023

Refugees’ right to work is protected by international law but often violated in practice. This Digest discusses the barriers that host governments impose on refugees’ labor market access and reviews the academic research on the effects of these policies and practices have on refugees and host communities. As expected, barriers like employment bans significantly harm refugees’ living conditions in most contexts where research is available. However, the evidence also suggests that most segments of the host communities benefit little and may in fact be harmed by restrictions on refugees’ work.

Published: January 2023

The supply chain has a vital role in maintaining a competitive advantage. Although there have been many studies on supply chains, research on supply chains involving SMEs is still limited. The aim of this study is to determine how the performance of SMEs is impacted by supply chain agility and supply chain flexibility. A convenience sampling technique was applied in this study to choose 125 samples of SMEs from the Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The hierarchical regression test used in this study revealed that SCF positively affects SCA and SMEs’ performance. In addition, research also found that SCA is an essential predictor of SMEs’ performance. Furthermore, this study proves that SCA is a variable that mediates the effect of SCF on SMEs’ performance. The results of this study support several previous studies related to the relationship between SCF and SCA on company performance. This study provides empirical evidence that can be used to encourage SMEs’ performance improvement through the implementation of SCF and SCA.
