When do business groups embrace outside lobbying in trade policy? The case of the CPTPP in Chile.
Authors: Dockendorf Andrés , López Dorotea
Published: August 2024

Literature shows that business interest groups have fewer incentives to embrace outside lobbying in trade policy. This article proposes an alternative explanation. As we discuss, special economic interests are more likely to adopt a specific subtype of outside lobbying (press, media appearances and op-eds) when policymakers are not responsible to them, and their long-term interests associated with a model of open trade are potentially threatened. We test our argument with the case of Chile and the long debate around the CPTPP ratification process. Our results support the hypothesis: businesses have a greater probability of media appearances, publishing op-eds and the like in comparison to other lobbies, such as labor and single-issue groups against the treaty. However, the effect is conditional to salience: the subtype of outside lobbying from business groups is more likely to be observed as the distance to the social outbursts of October 2019 increases.
Das Eine-Ganze unserer Welt
Authors: Prauss Gerold
Published: August 2024

A riddle that remains unsolved to this day is the essential property of the "inertia" of every single empirical object, both for physics and for philosophy, despite Kant's attempt to solve it. Is this property of the "inertia" of objects itself itself an empirical, or perhaps only a non-empirical one? Accordingly, it still remains open: Does this mysterious "inertia" belong as a problem in physics or in philosophy, or in both? In his examination of Kant, Gerold Prauss, winner of the International Kant Prize of 2019, shows the indispensable contribution of phi-losophy to this problem and thus presents another book on Kant research.
How Subsidiaries of Multinational Corporations Drive Organizational Change
Authors: Simon Maike
Published: August 2024

Subsidiary initiatives are bottom-up, entrepreneurial processes that have the potential to drive change. They have generally been seen as beneficial for both the headquarters and the subsidiary within a multinational corporation. However, research suggests that only a small number of subsidiary initiatives are actually approved by headquarters, while most fail. From the perspective of the subsidiary, the pragmatic question is how to gain headquarters’ approval. This meta-synthesis integrates findings from a set of qualitative case studies on this topic. It explores how subsidiary managers can effectively negotiate subsidiary initiatives and offers explanations as to why some subsidiaries outperform others.
Countering VAT Fraud in B2C Trade with 3rd Territories and 3rd Countries
Authors: Fuchs Elena
Published: August 2024

An analysis of the provisions of the VAT Directive following the adoption of the VAT e-commerce package makes it clear that the amended provisions cannot effectively prevent VAT fraud, particularly in the area of third-country B2C transactions. The work therefore offers an innovative approach to verifying the declared value upon importation of the goods. The encrypted transmission of payment information allows customs authorities to compare the value declared for a consignment with the price paid by the customer and thus prevent fraud.

Cyanobacterial Toxins: Foes from the Water
Authors: Lalić Dijana
Published: August 2024

This chapter is an introduction to the cyanobacterial (blue-green algae) ecology, with the main aim of better understanding the design of cyanobacterial blooms and cyanotoxins in the natural environments. Cyanobacteria are a diverse group of photoautotrophic organisms where their dominance represents a significant indicator of water quality. Several genera have the potential to produce toxins—hepatotoxins (microcystins, nodularins), cytotoxins (cylindrospermopsin), neurotoxins (saxitoxins, anatoxins, BMAA), dermatotoxins (lyngbyatoxin), and irritant toxins (lipopolysaccharide endotoxins). This chapter provides a concise and achievable summary of their negative impact on health and the environment, supplemented with tables and schemes that illustrate the ecology of cyanobacteria, the different types of cyanotoxins, and their health issues. The exposure routes are also discussed, which is particularly important due to the increasing eutrophication of water. It is emphasized that climate change, global warming, and increased eutrophication are responsible for cyanobacterial blooms. As a consequence, the risk they pose is likely to grow; accompanied by their ability to produce toxins, cyanobacteria represent an imminent danger to human and animal health. One of the primary goals of future research should be to share knowledge about cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins and to develop solutions for early detection and prevention of cyanobacterial bloom occurrence.
The Challenges of EEG in Coma: The Potential of Recent Discoveries
Authors: Hbibi Bechir , Mili Lamine
Published: August 2024

The utilization of electroencephalography (EEG) has profoundly enriched our comprehension and monitoring of patients, especially those in intensive care units (ICUs), over the past decades. EEG, a method of recording electrical brain signals, is employed to explore a variety of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, dementia, and brain injuries that may affect unconscious patients. In recent years, EEG has also been used to monitor sedation levels, examine the quality of patients’ sleep, and track patient recovery during periods of coma. Groundbreaking findings, derived from EEG recordings in intensive care using various techniques and methodologies, have unveiled new avenues to aid these patients and improve physicians’ understanding of their condition and needs. Innovations such as the examination of sleep quality, the assessment of pain and stress, and the classification of vigilance states represent some of the promising advancements in ICUs, all of which are based on EEG. Recent discoveries stemming from EEG signal analysis have indicated numerous potential enhancements in improving comfort, fostering a better understanding of the situation, and reducing the administration of drugs for ICU patients. In this chapter, we will discuss some new EEG findings for intensive care unit patients and the possible applications that could be revealed based on other investigations on human subjects outside the ICU.
Metamorphosis of English Language Learners’ Behaviours in a Virtual Community of Practice (VCoP): From the Perspective of Online Knowledge Construction
Authors: Gao Chuan , Shen Hui-Zhong
Published: August 2024

Advances in educational technologies have brought into being a variety of virtual community-oriented spaces to facilitate interactive language learning. Drawing upon data collected from discussion exchanges on a mobile social network application and focus-group interviews, this case study aims to identify and map any changes in the behaviours of a group of English language learners as a Virtual Community of Practice (VCoP) develops. Results indicated that a VCoP was well established through topic-based discussion for English language learning purposes on a mobile social network application beyond the classroom. In a total of four discussion sessions, a great number of ‘questions’, ‘replies’ and ‘other’ social statements were observed at an early stage, and ‘clarification’ consistently accounted for a relatively larger percentage throughout all sessions. The proportions of ‘consensus building’, ‘judgement’ and ‘reflection’ statements increased as the discussion proceeded, marking the changes in these English language learners’ awareness and initiation in exercising higher-order thinking. However, ‘conflict’ and ‘assertion’ statements remained low throughout the discussion sessions, implying the role that culture might have played in impacting on learners’ knowledge contribution behaviours.
Exportné siete vývozu železnej rudy zo spišsko-gemerskej banskej oblasti do stredoeurópskych železiarní v rokoch 1867–1914

This paper focuses on the export of iron ore from Hungary to ironworks in Silesia and north-eastern Moravia from the Austro-Hungarian Compromise to the beginning of World War I. The origins of ore exports date back to the mid-19th century, but it was not until the last third of the 19th century that excessive ore exports became a serious problem that preoccupied the Hungarian government, institutions and professional economic circles. The largest exporters of iron ore from Hungarian territory included Prussian and Austrian companies operating large ironworks in the coalfields of Upper Silesia and Austrian Silesia. All the measures taken by the Hungarian government against the excessive export of iron ores met with great dissatisfaction from these foreign companies, which owned a large part of the most profitable mines in Spiš (Szepes), and were vitally dependent on regular supplies of high-quality Hungarian ore. On the other hand, these Austrian and Prussian companies also mined and produced the coal and coke which the Hungarian industry was heavily dependent on, and by threatening to stop their supplies they forced the Hungarian government to abolish measures against the export of ore, which included in particular increased fare for its transport on state railways and the Košice-Bohumín railway. This stalemate lasted until World War I, when all companies involved in mining and ironworking ran into more serious difficulties related to the economic problems (not only) in the Hungarian economy.
The Influence of Physical Education Teacher Specialization on Instruction
Authors: Grajciarová Lucie , Janíková Marcela
Published: August 2024

School Physical Education (PE) is a crucial component of the educational process, significantly influencing students' physical, psychological, and social development. To ensure its effectiveness, teachers should thoroughly consider both the content and organizational aspects of instruction. As a part of their education, teachers should acquire adequate skills, knowledge and abilities for teaching in this way. Teacher specialization indicates their official education for teaching respective school subject (here Physical Education), which plays a pivotal role in this context. The main objective of the research presented in this article is to analyze the influence of teacher specialization in PE on PE regarding the recommended structure of lessons and on effective time use in instruction. The research methodology is based on a quantitative approach, especially video-based analysis and the chronometry method were used. The recommended structure was observed in 21 out of 35 PE lessons. In the remaining 14 lessons, the concluding part was missing, which is crucial in terms of concluding moderate-intensity physical activity, as expected during PE instruction. Since even specialized teachers did not include the concluding part, it cannot be conclusively argued in favor of their education as PE teachers. Furthermore, it was found that PE lessons were on average shortened by 12 minutes and 59 seconds, not lasting the full 45 minutes – we introduced the working term "unused time" in the text to describe this phenomenon. Regarding the use of time in PE lessons, it was surprising to find that specialized teachers had a higher average loss time by 10.2% compared to non-specialized teachers.
Dynamic Balance in Parkinson´s Disease Can be Ameliorated by External Focus of Attention
Authors: Psotta Rudolf , Semencová Jolana , Dostál Daniel
Published: August 2024

Most studies on balance training in individuals with Parkinson´s disease (PD) reported ambiguous effects. Therefore the study aimed to investigate the effect of an attentional focus and severity of PD on dynamic balance. In the study, 31 patients with idiopathic PD in stage I-III, aged 69.6 ± 6.6 years, performed the five times sit-to-stand (FTSS) task two times in each of three conditions: control, i.e., with no attentional focus instruction, the external focus of attention (IFA) induced by the instruction: „concentrate on quick movement of shoulders up and down“, and external focus of attention (EFA) induced by the instruction: „ concentrate on quick movement of the tape markers up and down“ (the markers glued on one´s shoulders). As a result, the FTSS time was shorter and the number of symptoms of imbalance manifested during performing of the task was lower in the EFA condition as compared to control and IFA conditions. No significant interaction between the focus of attention and severity of PD operationalized as the Hoehn and Yahr´s PD stage and the risk of falls suggested the generalizability of the effect of focus of attention on dynamic balance across the PD stages I-III and regardless of whether moderate risk of falls or no risk in PD patients. This study also provided evidence that these individuals with PD can adopt task-specific instructions to perform movement skills.

Movement imagery may have a favourable influence on subsequent movement performance. As a result of creating a multi-modal movement image in the mind, there are activated specific brain centres that are identical for both movement planning and actual movement action. The objective of our experiment was to find out whether a single ideomotor intervention can influence the accurate execution of a known movement skill. The research sample consisted of adult female handball players who participate in the highest Czech handball competition. We tested the movement skill in a modified 7-metre shot/throw test developed by us. The research sample was randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The testing involved a pretest and a posttest. It was repeated two times over the period of 2 months. The players assigned to the experimental group had significantly better performance in the posttest of both measurements in the modified test.

Published: August 2024

Diabetes mellitus, which is characterised by persistent hyperglycaemia, is a huge issue to the health of people all over the world. In spite of their efficacy, conventional diabetes treatments can come with a number of undesirable side effects and restrictions. Research into alternative medicines, such as the investigation of biological macromolecules with antidiabetic effects, has been accelerated as a result of this. This review looks into this fascinating field, investigating the many classifications of macromolecules as well as the possible methods by which they exhibit their positive effects. There are many different kinds of biological macromolecules that have the potential to treat diabetes. Some of these macromolecules include polysaccharides, proteins, and bioactive lipids. Different parts of glucose metabolism are affected by each category, which each contains its own set of distinctive traits. Glucans generated from plants and chitosan are two examples of polysaccharides that have the ability to increase insulin sensitivity and delay the absorption of carbohydrates. Some proteins, including as insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), have the ability to directly influence the production of insulin and the absorption of glucose. Bioactive lipids, which include omega-3 fatty acids and phospholipids, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects via their presence. This chapter highlights the potential of nanocarrier systems for the distribution of these macromolecules in a specialised manner and for improving their overall effectiveness. For the purpose of encapsulating and distributing these therapeutic compounds, some examples of platforms that show promise include hydrogels, polymeric nanoparticles, and liposomes. In conclusion, the evaluation emphasises the need of doing more research in order to guarantee the highest possible levels of safety, effectiveness, and cost-efficiency for these prospective diabetes treatments. The research that are now being conducted into enhanced delivery methods, combination treatments, and personalised medicine approaches show a great deal of promise for the management of diabetes in the future

Authors: Nichols Kristen R. , Israel Emily N. , Gordon Nicolette A. , Streetman Darcie D. , Walleser Nathan S. , Knoderer Chad A.
Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this study was to define current practices related to beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor (BL/BLI) dose descriptions in hospitals that provide care for pediatric patients and to identify perceived implications of standardizing BL/BLI dose communication and ordering to a total drug-based strategy.

METHODS

A 27-item electronic survey was distributed via 4 pediatric pharmacy and infectious diseases listservs. Survey questions pertained to hospital demographics, dosing communication practices, BL/BLI ordering and labeling practices, obstacles to safe BL/BLI use, and the effects of potential standardization to a total drug communication strategy. SPSS was used for quantitative analysis and MAXQDA was used for qualitative analysis.

RESULTS

A total of 140 unique survey responses were analyzed after exclusion of incomplete responses and reconciliation of multiple responses from the same institution. Overall, 56.2% of institutions order BL/BLIs by BL component for pediatric patients, and 22% of institutions order by BL component for adult patients. Approximately half (51.8%) of respondents felt that standardizing to total drug would have a negative effect at their institution; perception of potential effect varied based on the institution’s ordering strategy.

CONCLUSION

Communication and ordering of BL/BLIs is inconsistent across institutions and between pediatric and adult patients. In the short term, the perception is that standardization would compound institutional challenges.

Implication of Language Use in Higher Education Curricula Development and Implementation: A Case of Moi University, Kenya
Authors: Lonyangapuo Mary K.
Published: August 2024

Knowledge creation, dissemination, and consumption require the use of an appropriate language. Kenyan Higher education relies more on non-native languages, which brings about communication disconnect at all levels, including, the utilisation stage/ in practice, a stage that determines how much of the acquired knowledge is consumed for societal development. The study investigates communication challenges that professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (henceforth, STEM) and Law encounter in their careers, and argues for the inclusion of the Kiswahili component in the Kenyan Higher education curricula, for effective knowledge and skills application. Consequently, we identify and critically discuss the place of language in the development and implementation of curricula in Moi University (henceforth, MU); examine the dis/harmony in knowledge and skills application and utilisation, and finally, conceptualise a holistic Higher education future that embraces the peoples’ shared linguistic code- for productivity. Using the Communication Accommodation Theory, data from 15 university students, 10 lecturers, and 15 practitioners in the above fields, 6 Kiswahili, French, and German (2 for each) lecturers, and 20 consumers of related knowledge and skills are analysed. Findings inform the Kenyan education policymakers and implementers on the need to re-evaluate the place of language in Higher education curricula for STEM (and by extension, the Arts, Social sciences, and Humanities, (henceforth, AHSS)) for effective knowledge and skills utilisation and eventual societal well-being.

Students in Islamic boarding schools often use Arabic as their daily language. It is even mandatory to use it to communicate. This requires students to study harder and memorize more Arabic vocabulary. This study aims to apply data mining using multiple linear regression methods to analyze the effect of Imla and Nahwu values on Arabic language values in female students in Islamic boarding schools. This study used samples of female students' values in Imla, Nahwu, and Arabic. This method is applied to identify the relationship and influence of the three values and whether they can affect the level of success in Arabic language lessons. With data mining, the influence and relationship between the three lessons can be determined. And with this study, it is expected to provide a positive contribution to Islamic boarding schools and similar educational institutions in efforts to improve the quality of Arabic language learning. In addition, the data mining method applied can be used as a reference for further research exploring further information about the determining factors for the success of learning Arabic in Islamic boarding schools.
