What I Saw at the Revolution That Didn’t Happen
Authors: Kazin Michael
Published: September 2023

Abstract: I spent two years of my life as a revolutionary in a country where most people loathed the very idea of social upheaval. I don’t regret what I did from 1968 to 1970, although I realize I may have played a small, if unintentional, part in speeding the right’s path to national power.

Size-biased sensitivity analysis for matched pairs design to assess the impact of healthcare-associated infections
Authors: Watson David
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Healthcare-associated infections are serious adverse events that occur during a hospital admission. Quantifying the impact of these infections on inpatient length of stay and cost has important policy implications due to the Hospital-Acquired Conditions Reduction Program in the United States. However, most studies on this topic are flawed because they do not account for when a healthcare-associated infection occurred during a hospital admission. Such an approach leads to selection bias because patients with longer hospital stays are more likely to experience an infection due to their increased exposure time. Time of infection is often not incorporated into the estimation strategy because this information is unknown, yet there are no methods that account for the selection bias in this scenario. To address this problem, we propose a sensitivity analysis for matched pairs designs for assessing the effect of healthcare-associated infections on length of stay and cost when time of infection is unknown. The approach models the probability of infection, or the assignment mechanism, as proportional to a power function of the uninfected length of stay, where the sensitivity parameter is the value of the power. The general idea is to incorporate the degree of exposure into the probability of an infection occurring. Under this size-biased assignment mechanism, we develop hypothesis tests under a sharp null hypothesis of constant multiplicative effects. The approach is demonstrated on a pediatric cohort of inpatient encounters and compared to benchmark estimates that properly account for time of infection. The results reaffirm the severe degree of bias when not accounting for time of infection and also show that the proposed sensitivity analysis captures the benchmark estimates for plausible and theoretically justified values of the sensitivity parameter.

The design study of a micro illumination tool based on GaN microLED arrays is presented. The high spatio-temporal resolution and the capability of generating fully customized optical patterns that characterize the proposed platform would enable the manipulation of biological systems, e.g., for optogenetics applications. Based on ray tracing simulations, the design aspects that mainly affect the device performance have been identified, and the related structural parameters have been optimized to improve the extraction efficiency and the spatial resolution of the resulting light patterns. Assuming that the device is a bottom emitter, and the light is extracted from the n-side, the presence of mesa-structures on the p-side of the GaN layer can affect both the efficiency and the resolution, being optimized for different values of the mesa-side inclination angle. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the extracted spots is mainly determined by the substrate thickness, and the relation between the FWHM and the array pitch represents a criterion to define the resolution. Namely, when FWHM<pitch, the spots are assumed to be resolved, while, when FWHM=pitch, a homogeneous distribution of light intensity is observed. The best performance is obtained when an in-GaN micro-lens array is included in the simulated structure, assuming that the substrate has been removed. The spatial resolution of the generated light pattern results as fully preserved, while the extraction efficiency in the best case is up to three times larger than that of a planar GaN/air interface.
Alignment and characterization of remote-refocusing systems
Authors: Hong Wenzhi , Sparks Hugh , Dunsby Chris
Published: September 2023

The technique of remote refocusing is used in optical microscopy to
provide rapid axial scanning without mechanically perturbing the
sample and in techniques such as oblique plane microscopy that build
on remote refocusing to image a tilted plane within the sample. The
magnification between the pupils of the primary (O1) and secondary
(O2) microscope objectives of the remote-refocusing system has been
shown previously by Mohanan and Corbett [J. Microsc.
288, 95 (2022)JMICAR0022-272010.1111/jmi.12991] to be
crucial in obtaining the broadest possible remote-refocusing range. In
this work, we performed an initial alignment of a remote-refocusing
system and then studied the effect of axial misalignments of O1 and
O2, axial misalignment of the primary tube lens (TL1) relative to the
secondary tube lens (TL2), lateral misalignments of TL2, and changes
in the focal length of  TL2. For each instance of the setup, we
measured the mean point spread function FWHMxy of 100 nm fluorescent beads and the
normalized bead integrated fluorescence signal, and we calculated the
axial and lateral distortion of the system; all of these quantities
were mapped over the remote-refocusing range and as a function of
lateral image position. This allowed us to estimate the volume over
which diffraction-limited performance is achieved and how this changes
with the alignment of the system.
Continuous-variable quantum optics and resource theory for ultrafast semiconductor spectroscopy [Invited]
Authors: Lüders Carolin , Barkhausen Franziska , Pukrop Matthias , Rozas Elena , Sperling Jan , Schumacher Stefan , Aßmann Marc
Published: September 2023

This review examines the use of continuous-variable spectroscopy techniques for investigating quantum coherence and light-matter interactions in semiconductor systems with ultrafast dynamics. Special emphasis is placed on multichannel homodyne detection as a powerful tool to measure the quantum coherence and the full density matrix of a polariton system. Observations, such as coherence times that exceed the nanosecond scale obtained by monitoring the temporal decay of quantum coherence in a polariton condensate, are discussed. Proof-of-concept experiments and numerical simulations that demonstrate the enhanced resourcefulness of the produced system states for modern quantum protocols are assessed. The combination of tailored resource quantifiers and ultrafast spectroscopy techniques that have recently been demonstrated paves the way for future applications of quantum information technologies.

Authors: Tanaka Mayu , Suetomo Shota , Osato Nao , Shinkawa Seiya , Hong Feng-Lei , Akamatsu Daisuke
Published: September 2023

Nanoparticles levitated in high vacuum are isolated from the surrounding environment and thus can be used in various applications, including quantum physics research. We demonstrated optical levitation of a nanoparticle, which was trapped without cooling at a pressure of 4.5 × 10−3 Pa, using a single aspheric lens with a large numerical aperture (= 0.9) and 1030-nm laser. We also activated parametric feedback cooling to trap the particle at a pressure of 5.8 × 10−4 Pa. This experimental system will be useful for studying nanoparticles in ultrahigh vacuum and for building a mixed system with laser-cooled atoms.
Creation of standardized tools to evaluate reporting in health research: Population Reporting Of Gender, Race, Ethnicity & Sex (PROGRES)

Despite increasing diversity in research recruitment, research finding reporting by gender, race, ethnicity, and sex has remained up to the discretion of authors. This study developped and piloted tools to standardize the inclusive reporting of gender, race, ethnicity, and sex in health research. A modified Delphi approach was used to develop standardized tools for the inclusive reporting of gender, race, ethnicity, and sex in health research. Health research, social epidemiology, sociology, and medical anthropology experts from 11 different universities participated in the Delphi process. The tools were pilot tested on 85 health research manuscripts in top health research journals to determine inter-rater reliability of the tools. The tools each spanned five dimensions for both sex and gender as well as race and ethnicity: Author inclusiveness, Participant inclusiveness, Nomenclature reporting, Descriptive reporting, and Outcomes reporting for each subpopulation. The sex and gender tool had a median score of 6 and a range of 1–15 out of 16 possible points. The percent agreement between reviewers piloting the sex and gender tool was 82%. The interrater reliability or average Cohen’s Kappa was 0.54 with a standard deviation of 0.33 demonstrating moderate agreement. The race and ethnicity tool had a median score of 1 and a range of 0–15 out of 16 possible points. Race and ethnicity were both reported in only 25.8% of studies evaluated. Most studies that reported race reported only the largest subgroups; White, Black, and Latinx. The percent agreement between reviewers piloting the race and ethnicity tool was 84 and average Cohen’s Kappa was 0.61 with a standard deviation of 0.38 demonstrating substantial agreement. While the overall dimension scores were low (indicating low inclusivity), the interrater reliability measures indicated moderate to substantial agreement for the respective tools. Efforts in recruitment alone will not provide more inclusive literature without improving reporting.
Ensuring privacy and confidentiality of cloud data: A comparative analysis of diverse cryptographic solutions based on run time trend
Authors: Dawson John Kwao , Frimpong Twum , Hayfron Acquah James Benjamin , Missah Yaw Marfo
Published: September 2023

The cloud is becoming a hub for sensitive data as technology develops, making it increasingly vulnerable, especially as more people get access. Data should be protected and secured since a larger number of individuals utilize the cloud for a variety of purposes. Confidentiality and privacy of data is attained through the use of cryptographic techniques. While each cryptographic method completes the same objective, they all employ different amounts of CPU, memory, throughput, encryption, and decryption times. It is necessary to contrast the various possibilities in order to choose the optimal cryptographic algorithm. An integrated data size of 5n*102 (KB (∈ 1,2,4,10,20,40) is evaluated in this article. Performance metrics including run time, memory use, and throughput time were used in the comparison. To determine the effectiveness of each cryptographic technique, the data sizes were run fifteen (15) times, and the mean simulation results were then reported. In terms of run time trend, NCS is superior to the other algorithms according to Friedman’s test and Bonferroni’s Post Hoc test.

The increase in emerging drug resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections is a global concern. In addition, there is growing recognition that compromising the microbiota through the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics can impact long term patient outcomes. Therefore, there is the need to develop new bactericidal strategies to combat Gram-negative infections that would address these specific issues. In this study, we report and characterize one such approach, an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that combines (i) targeting the surface of a specific pathogenic organism through a monoclonal antibody with (ii) the high killing activity of an antimicrobial peptide. We focused on a major pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium associated with antibacterial resistance: Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To target this organism, we designed an ADC by fusing an antimicrobial peptide to the C-terminal end of the VH and/or VL-chain of a monoclonal antibody, VSX, that targets the core of P. aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide. This ADC demonstrates appropriately minimal levels of toxicity against mammalian cells, rapidly kills P. aeruginosa strains, and protects mice from P. aeruginosa lung infection when administered therapeutically. Furthermore, we found that the ADC was synergistic with several classes of antibiotics. This approach described in this study might result in a broadly useful strategy for targeting specific pathogenic microorganisms without further augmenting antibiotic resistance.
Determinants of a shift in consumer values towards minimalistic clothing consumption during global crises
Authors: Choopani Hanieh , Wallaschkowski Stephan , Iran Samira
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic, as a global crisis, has affected the clothing consumption behaviour of consumers and it might create long-lasting changes in the fashion industry. Such behavioural shifts during global crises should be considered for sustainability-related marketing concepts and the way marketers promote sustainable clothing consumption during and after the crisis. This study explores the determinants of a shift in consumer values towards minimalistic clothing consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic in the under-researched country context of Iran. First, a literature review was conducted on topics including sustainable fashion consumption and the COVID-19 pandemic, the status of sustainable fashion consumption in Iran, as well as the influence of demographic characteristics on sustainable consumption behaviour. Second, a quantitative survey was administered to a sample of Iranian consumers (N = 382). The results reveal a value shift towards more minimalism and sufficiency in clothing consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic in the country context of Iran. Moreover, the findings highlight that age and gender significantly influenced the extent of this shift in values, while surprisingly no significant value shift was found because of employment or income changes. This article makes a unique contribution by exploring the value shifts towards minimalistic clothing consumption during global crises. Furthermore, the results of the study shed some light on consumption behaviour in an under-researched middle eastern area.
Challenging time, age and power relations: The child figure in Ingmar Bergman’s Autumn Sonata
Authors: Janson Malena
Published: September 2023

This article is an interdisciplinary study of the figure of the child in Ingmar Bergman’s Höstsonaten (Autumn Sonata) (1978), using theoretical perspectives from childhood studies within a cinema studies framing. By analysing the shifting roles of mother and daughter in this seldom-discussed film, the article demonstrates the on-screen child figure’s capacity to challenge society’s deep-rooted ideas of ‘child’ and ‘adult’, respectively, thereby exposing the inconstant nature of age categories. Drawing on contemporary childhood studies, I argue, using Autumn Sonata as an example, that the child figure in cinema bears a subversive potential for questioning power relations between generations as well as defying a chrononormative notion of time and age. This reading contributes to a deepened awareness of the function of the on-screen child figure, not least transferable to Bergman’s cinematic work. It also sheds light on the mutable connections between fictional children and central conceptions of childhood in contemporary society.
A magyar és az amerikai természettudomány-tanítás tartalmának összehasonlító elemzése az új sztenderdek tükrében
Authors: Bónus Lilla , Csapó Benő
Published: September 2023

Egy fél évszázaddal ezelőtt a magyar diákok természettudomány-tudás tekintetében még a világ legjobbjai között voltak; azonban a legújabb nemzetközi felmérések szerint teljesítményük folyamatosan romlik, és ma már a fejlett országok átlagos szintjét sem éri el. A problémákat jelzi az is, hogy a kémia és a fizika a legnépszerűtlenebb iskolai tantárgyak a tanulók attitűdjeit, az érettségiként választott tárgyakat és a tanári szakokra jelentkezők arányát tekintve egyaránt. A természettudomány tanításának egyik problémája a tantervekben rejlik. Nincs egységes természettudomány tantárgy, a különböző neveken, illetve diszciplínákra osztva tanított tantárgyak tartalma nincs összehangolva. Az USA közoktatása, minden problémája ellenére is számos figyelemre méltó vonással rendelkezik, és ezek közé tartozik a természettudomány tanításának tartalmi szabályozása. A tanítás céljait keretbe foglaló Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) tudományos megalapozottságát, szemléletmódját és igényességét tekintve a maga műfajában a nemzetközi élvonalat képviseli. A tanulmány áttekinti a NGSS legfontosabb tartalmi vonásait, és összehasonlítja azokat a magyar Nemzeti alaptanterv természettudományra vonatkozó tartalmával. A NGSS fő értékei közé tartozik, hogy az iskolát megelőző két óvodai évtől a tizenkét évfolyamos közoktatásig egységes keretbe foglalja a természettudomány tanítását. A tanítás tartalmainak felvázolása helyett azt írja le, milyen tudás várható el a tanulóktól. Az NGSS gyakorlatba való átültetést folyamatos kutató-fejlesztő munka támogatja. A NGSS és a hozzá kapcsolódó tudományos kutatás tanulmányozása segítheti a magyar természettudomány-tanítás fejlesztését is.
Pozitív fiatalkori fejlődést meghatározó családi, iskolai, egyéni tényezők és összefüggéseik áttekintése a jólléttel
Authors: Leist Balogh Brigitta , Jámbori Szilvia
Published: September 2023

A pozitív fiatalkori fejlődés (Positive Youth Development, PYD) olyan megközelítés, mely a gyermek- és serdülőkori képességek és erősségek mentén vizsgálja a változásokat, valamint arra a kérdésre keresi a választ, hogy milyen feltételek szükségesek a kibontakozáshoz vagy növekedéshez (thriving) a fejlődés folyamán. A PYD a fejlődésben rejlő potenciálokra helyezi a hangsúlyt a hiányosságok helyett, és kiemeli, hogy az egyéni erőforrások és a környezeti tényezők egyaránt kulcsfontosságúak (Damon, 2004; Kőrössy, 2016; Lerner et al., 2003). Jelen tanulmány a pozitív fiatalkori fejlődés elméleti kereteit és jellemzőit foglalja össze a pozitív fiatalkori fejlődés 5C modelljének és a Fejlődési Források modell segítségével, majd ezt követően kitér azokra a kutatási eredményekre, melyek a pozitív pszichológia és a pozitív fiatalkori fejlődés szemléletét alkalmazták. A család szerepe serdülőkorban is meghatározó, a kutatások azt mutatják, hogy a családi kapcsolatok minősége, a szülői támogatás és a kommunikáció a családban erősen összefüggenek a pozitív fejlődési eredményekkel. Az iskolával kapcsolatos pozitív élmények, támogató kapcsolatok kialakítása, valamint az egyéni erősségek megismerése és fejlesztése szintén kedvezően befolyásolják a fiatalok fejlődését, mindez pedig szorosan összekapcsolódik a serdülők jóllétével. A témában született eredmények új nézőpontok megvilágítása mellett az alkalmazott pszichológia és pedagógia területén is további lehetőségeket tárnak fel a szakembereknek, és fejlesztő, valamint iskolai programok kidolgozásához is alapul szolgálhatnak.
“There's Power in that Y”: How Gaymers Manage Imbricated Stigma through an Equipollent Identity
Authors: Bikowski Kyle
Published: September 2023

Portmanteau identities, such as “Gaymer” (gay-gamer), can shed light on the important social work that identity labels do for those who choose to adopt them. In this article, I analyze how “Gaymer” is not just a convenient portmanteau, but an identity used to manage stigma and advance inclusivity for people inhabiting identities often viewed as mutually exclusive. I demonstrate this with data gathered through actual world ethnographic research with Gaymers at a monthly meetup in Houston, Texas, and virtual world ethnographic research with two Facebook Groups. I found that Gaymers are often excluded from both the gaming community and the mainstream gay community, however, rather than try to minimize contradictions in their identity, they seek to create contradictions by gaming in gay bars, performing in drag shows as video game characters, and advocating for more inclusivity at gaming conventions, among other tactics. My results show a critical need to move beyond an examination that multiple stigmas exist, toward a study of how they interact. I build upon Russian linguist Nikolai Trubetzkoy's concepts of privative and equipollent markedness to show how the interaction between “gay” and “gamer” has resulted in the creation and performance of a “Gaymer” identity, what I call an equipollent identity. Recognizing the existence of equipollent identities, like Gaymer, invites consideration of the potentially positive and productive ways that stigmatized individuals manage stigma and build community.

Interfaith marriages still occur in Indonesia. Interfaith marriage is a complex and interesting topic to discuss. There are many things to consider when two people of different religions decide to get married and form a family. This marriage often raises very complex issues where men and women of different faiths want to enter into interfaith marriages in order to obtain the status of a relationship, regardless of whether the relationship is forbidden or permissible in Islamic teachings. The method used is qualitative research with a literature review approach. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that interfaith marriage between muslims and members of other religions is not permissible and haram. In the positive law of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 1974 Article 2 paragraph (1) it is explained that marriage is valid if it is carried out according to the laws of each religion. According to the Compilation of Islamic Law, articles 40 and 44 of Chapter VI strictly prohibit interfaith marriages between muslim men and non-muslim women and muslim women with non-muslim men. Meanwhile, MUI fatwa number 4/MUNAS VII/MUI/8/2005 explains that interfaith marriage is haram and invalid.[Pernikahan beda agama masih terjadi di Indonesia.

Authors: Theguh Saumantri
Published: September 2023

Indonesia, as a country rich in cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity, has faced complex challenges in achieving social harmony and inter-religious harmony. Over time, the complexity of religious diversity has given rise to a number of problems, including inter-religious conflicts, insults, and a lack of understanding of the principles of religious harmony. This study aims to enrich the understanding of the concept of religious harmony from the perspective of religious philosophy as well as identify the contribution of religious philosophy to enriching the understanding of religious harmony in the context of religious diversity in Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive research method with a phenomenological approach. Based on the analysis conducted, it can be interpreted that religious harmony is a fundamental concept in the lives of religion and society. This relates to the formation of an attitude of tolerance, mutual respect, and understanding differences. In the philosophy of religion, religious harmony can be built through Synergizing Religious pluralism, involving Inter-Religious Dialogue, and implementing Religious Ethics and Morality holistically.

Evaluation of an Optional English Preparatory Program with CIPP Scale
Authors: TEMİZ Fatma Betül , BAŞAL Ahmet
Published: September 2023

The quality of English language education in universities is vital in preparing individuals for the increasingly globalized world. Assessing the efficacy of English teaching programs is therefore crucial to ensuring such quality. Consequently, this study aims to evaluate the optional English preparatory program of a state university using the CIPP model dimensions: context, input, process, and product. The current study employs a mixed-methods research approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to address the research questions. The study sample comprised 247 preparatory graduate and 77 preparatory students, as well as 6 lecturers. In the quantitative part, The CIPP scale (Context, Input, Process, and Product), developed by the researchers based on item analysis, second-order exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, criterion validity, and content validity, was used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the English preparatory program based on responses of participants to the items in four dimensions of the scale. The qualitative aspect of the study involved obtaining responses from participant students through open-ended questions and conducting semi-structured interviews with lecturers. These responses were analyzed, and the resulting excerpts were used to support and complement the findings obtained from the quantitative findings. The results indicate that the participants were highly satisfied with the optional nature of the program and held positive perceptions of it. However, some improvements, particularly in the physical conditions of the program's context dimension, such as the library, laboratory, and school building, were required. The findings from the input and process dimensions reveal the importance of increasing target language use and prioritization of speaking skills in the product dimension. The developed CIPP scale, which is statistically reliable and valid, can be utilized by researchers to evaluate English preparatory programs using the CIPP model. The study concludes by offering several key recommendations for creating a more effective English preparatory program based on the findings.
Investigation of Professional Music Education Students’ Attitudes and Self-Efficacy Perceptions Towards Modal Hearing in Terms of Various Variables
Authors: LEHİMLER Emrah , ÇİNAR Üzeyir
Published: September 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes and self-efficacy perceptions of students who receive professional music education towards modal hearing in terms of various variables (gender, age, class level, faculty of education). In the study, attitude and self-efficacy perception scales were used as data collection tools towards modal hearing developed by researchers. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients of the scales were determined as 0.871 for the attitude scale and 0.901 for the self-efficacy perception scale. The study group of the research consists of 259 undergraduate students in their 3rd and 4th grade who were enrolled in courses related to Modal Hearing and studying in the Music Departments of Faculties of Education, Faculties of Fine Arts, and Conservatories in 12 randomly selected universities in Turkey during the 2021-2022 academic year. As a result of the research, it was determined that the students who received music education had positive attitudes towards modal hearing and considered themselves sufficient in modal hearing. On the basis of faculties, it was determined that the lowest attitude score belonged to the students of the faculty of fine arts, and the highest attitude score belonged to the students studying at the conservatory. There was no significant difference in self-efficacy perception scores between the three faculties. In addition, when the attitudes and self-efficacy perceptions of the participant students towards modal hearing were examined, it was seen that male students exhibited more positive attitudes than female students. It was determined that there was no difference in the attitudes and self-efficacy perceptions of the participating students towards modal hearing based on age and grade level variables.
Lab versus Online Experiments: Gender Differences
Authors: Braut Beatrice
Published: September 2023

Comparing the behaviour of subjects randomly allocated to perform tasks and tests online or in the lab, I find that the setting influences males’ and females’ behaviour differently. Males are more selfish in the online setting than in the lab, while females are more risk-averse when they answer online compared to the lab. Interestingly, performance in math is influenced by the setting for females: online they perform better. The gender gap in numeracy closes online, while it is present in the lab, where males solve more math problems. This work provides preliminary evidence on how gender differences and gaps can be altered by the setting. As online settings have become more and more common practice in running experiments and have started to be used also in education, it is important to understand the consequences that this shift implies also relative to gender differences and gaps.
A commentary on the inhibition of human TPC2 channel by the natural flavonoid naringenin: Methods, experiments, and ideas
Authors: Minicozzi Velia , Qi Tianwen , Gradogna Antonella , Pozzolini Marina , Milenkovic Stefan , Filippini Antonio , Ceccarelli Matteo , Carpaneto Armando
Published: September 2023

Human endo-lysosomes possess a class of proteins called TPC channels on their membrane, which are essential for proper cell functioning. This protein family can be functionally studied by expressing them in plant vacuoles. Inhibition of hTPC activity by naringenin, one of the main flavonoids present in the human diet, has the potential to be beneficial in severe human diseases such as solid tumor development, melanoma, and viral infections. We attempted to identify the molecular basis of the interaction between hTPC2 and naringenin, using ensemble docking on molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories, but the specific binding site remains elusive, posing a challenge that could potentially be addressed in the future by increased computational power in MD and the combined use of microscopy techniques such as cryo-EM.
(Un)doing regimentation in reflexive practices: on-site processes of sociolinguistic differentiation – a commentary
Authors: Pérez-Milans Miguel
Published: September 2023

This article discusses Volume 42(6) where the editors (Gilles Merminod and Raymund Vitorio) push for a metapragmatic approach to reflexive practices of sociolinguistic differentiation. With reference to my own trajectory, I review this lens as suitable to accounting for how people affectively take part in the making of difference and similarities between signs, social situations and positions in daily meaning-making practices and the larger inequalities that these practices may contribute to sustain and interrogate. In doing so, I focus on story-telling templates in professional communication, citizenship narratives in research interviews, English-oriented forms of self-evaluation in the workplace and ritualised instances of self-presentation in interaction and evaluations of others’ self-presentation in networking events as indexical signs that articulate a range of moralised meanings and categories of “ideal” versus “non-ideal” social persona upon which arrangements of social life and work get (re)instituted. I also discuss the socioeconomic hierarchies and forms of distinction that such arrangements (re)produce in different settings. Finally, I suggest further epistemological avenues for research exploring linkages across events and for following more closely the consequences that such events have for certain people, with attention to existing disciplinary synergies (and social theories) within and beyond the language disciplines.
Fluid flow in a microdiffuser at small Reynolds numbers
Authors: Avramenko Andriy A. , Dmitrenko Nataliia P. , Shevchuk Igor V.
Published: September 2023

The article presents the results of an analytical study of the flow dynamics in a microdiffuser. An expression for the velocity profile is obtained with account for slip effects. The effect of the Knudsen number on the velocity profiles is shown. The effect of the microdiffuser angle on the flow velocity profile and the friction coefficient is analyzed. The opening angle of the microdiffuser was determined, at which slip effects do not affect the velocity profile.
OVERCOMING THE PAST AND THE «POLITICS OF GUILT» IN GERMANY
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Dotsenko Pavel
Published: September 2023

The article considers key aspects of the transformation of cultural memory in Germany. The arrival of G. Schroeder to the post of Federal Chancellor after the reign of G. Kohl marked serious changes in the political and cultural life of Germany. The public discourse on the issues of historical memory has gone beyond the political stage and has acquired a universal character, accumulating also in the publicistic and scientific spheres. The unification of Germany and the subsequent «historians’ dispute» triggered a new stage in the understanding of the culture of memory, the meaning of which was not only to work on the mistakes of National Socialism, but also of the GDR regime. It is concluded that a new German historical politics and historical narrative is emerging that is not only focused on the memory of the Holocaust, but also on German suffering.
THE COUNTRIES OF SOUTH-EASTERN EUROPE AND THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE
Authors:   Institute of Europe, RAS, Kandel Pavel
Published: September 2023

The article examines two parameters of the subject stated: policies of the state governments of South-Eastern Europe in view of the new developments in Ukraine, widespread attitudes, and the configuration of political forces in these countries which may provide a chance to pro-Russian circles. An analysis is based on both national and international opinion polls and the results of the last elections. As is shown, the traditionally strong Russophile sentiments in many countries of the region have reverberated again and affected the perception of the conflict. However, the potential of the pro-Russian forces is insufficient for a fundamental change in policies although the ruling circles cannot completely ignore it. The article concludes that the status and prospects of Russian cooperation with the countries of the region will remain unfavorable until the end of military operation in Ukraine, although the EU and the US are unlikely to succeed in achieving complete abandonment of Russian energy sources in a short time.
Producing Feminism: Television Work in the Age of Women’s Liberation
Authors: Clark Jennifer S.
Published: September 2023

In this archivally informed work, Jennifer S. Clark explores the multiple ways in which the feminist priorities of the 1970s were strengthened by women who labored in the American television industry. Carefully synthesizing an array of interviews and primary sources—from television network memos to programming schedules, production notes to executive meeting agendas—Clark tells the story of how women organized in the workplace to form collectives, affect production labor, and develop reform‑oriented policies and philosophies that reshaped television behind the screen. She urges us to consider how interventions, often at localized levels, can collectively shift the dynamics of media workplaces and the cultural products created therein.

Chronic inflammatory diseases are associated with hematopoietic lineage bias, including neutrophilia and anemia. We have recently identified that the canonical inflammasome mediates the cleavage of the master erythroid transcription factor GATA1 in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). We report here that genetic inhibition of Nlrp1 resulted in reduced number of neutrophils and increased erythrocyte counts in zebrafish larvae. We also found that the NLRP1 inflammasome in human cells was inhibited by LRRFIP1 and FLII, independently of DPP9, and both inhibitors regulated hematopoiesis. Mechanistically, erythroid differentiation resulted in ribosomal stress‐induced activation of the ZAKα/P38 kinase axis which, in turn, phosphorylated and promoted the assembly of NLRP1 in both zebrafish and human. Finally, inhibition of Zaka with the FDA/EMA‐approved drug Nilotinib alleviated neutrophilia in a zebrafish model of neutrophilic inflammation and promoted erythroid differentiation and GATA1 accumulation in K562 cells. In conclusion, our results reveal that the NLRP1 inflammasome regulates hematopoiesis and pave the way to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of hematopoietic alterations associated with chronic inflammatory and rare diseases.

Based on the analysis of the state of territorial communities cooperation in Ukraine and developed countries, including the EU, institutional, organizational, economic, administrative measures to intensify this process have been identified as one of the factors that promote communities cohesion, improve horizontal links, build social capital and increase sustainability of decentralized socio-economic systems and their resilience to the crisis caused by the pandemic and armed aggression against our country. It has been established that the territorial communities cooperation in Ukraine, despite proper legislation, is not widespread, especially in the field of economic development, which caused by the low level of community interest in its application, and direct financial incentives lead to temporary bursts of activity with further decline. Using cooperation tools has brought positive results to the Ukraine’s communities in the field of public services and social development. It has been established that the current priority for communities cooperation should be economic development and the involvement of territorial subsystems into the efficient division of labour. A system of normative, informational, organizational and financial measures that are aimed on stimulating economic cooperation between communities in Ukraine has been developed.

The author presents the results of analysis of electricity consumption, transition to renewable energy sources and management systems for sustainable socio-economic development of the country, which describes the impact of environmental factors on electricity production, describes corruption processes, touches on current issues of favorable institutional environment in Ukraine and participation in economic development of the country. The author makes proposals (scenarios) for Ukraine's transition to renewable sources, one of which is cardinal, which will achieve high efficiency of electricity from renewable sources and high rates of economic development and ecology in the country. The author concludes that with the use of a systematic transition plan there will be an opportunity for balanced management of energy processes, taking into account the impact of environmental factors.
Management of strategic development of suppliers in the energy market of Ukraine: evaluation of efficiency
Authors:   Kharkiv National University of Radio Electronics, Shvedkyi Volodymyr
Published: September 2023

The effectiveness of managing the strategic development of supplier enterprises in the Ukrainian energy market is analysed and evaluated in the article. A system of evaluation indicators has been developed that allows you to compare how fully the suppliers managed to implement in their business processes the parameters of service provision that are important for customers: price competitiveness; service quality, including the degree of digitalization; reliability and reputation of the supplier; partnership rents. An integral index of customeroriented strategy is constructed. Its calculation for universal suppliers showed that the most problematic component of strategic development is information closure, lack of customerfriendly sales models, and underdevelopment of regional networks. Measures to increase the effectiveness of strategic development management are substantiated.
