Authors: Tohmaz Maad , Askari Badouei Mahdi , Kalateh Rahmani Hamideh , Hashemi Tabar Gholamreza
Published: November 2022

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial isolates from food producing animals not only challenges the preventive and therapeutic strategies in veterinary medicine, but also threatens public health. Genetic elements placed on both chromosome and plasmids could be involved in AMR. In the present study, the associations of genomic backbone and plasmids with AMR were evaluated. We also provided some primary evidences that which genetic lineages potentially host certain groups of plasmids.

Results

In the current study, 72 avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) strains were examined. Isolates resistant to tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (87.5%; each), and harboring blaTEM (61.1%) were dominant. Moreover, phylogroup D was the most prevalent phylogroup in total (23.6%), and among multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates (14/63). The most prevalent Inc-types were also defined as follows: IncP (65.2%), IncI1 (58.3%), and IncF group (54.1%). Significant associations among phylogroups and AMR were observed such as group C to neomycin (p = 0.002), gentamicin (p = 0.017) and florfenicol (p = 0.036). Furthermore, group D was associated with blaCTX. In terms of associations among Inc-types and AMR, resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics was considerably linked with IncP (p = 0.012), IncI1 (p = 0.038) and IncA/C (p = 0.005). The blaTEM and blaCTX genes presence were connected with IncI1 (p = 0.003) and IncFIC (p = 0.013), respectively. It was also shown that members of the D phylogroup frequently occured in replicon types FIC (8/20), P (13/47), I1 (13/42), HI2 (5/14) and L/M (3/3).

Conclusions

Accorging to the results, it seems that group D strains have a great potential to host a variety of plasmids (Inc-types) carrying different AMR genes. Thus, based on the results of the current study, phyogroup D could be a potential challenge in dealing with AMR in poultry. There were more strong correlations among Inc-types and AMR compared to phylotypes and AMR. It is suggested that in epidemiological studies on AMR both genomic backbone and major plasmid types should be investigated.

Published: November 2022

Background

While the psychopathological sequalae of childhood maltreatment are widely acknowledged, less is known about the underlying pathways by which childhood maltreatment might lead to an increased risk for mental health problems. Recent studies indicated that impaired personality functioning might mediate this relationship. The aim of the present paper was to extend the current literature by investigating the mediating effect of impaired personality functioning between different types of childhood maltreatment and self-reported mental health problems in a high-risk sample.

Methods

Overall, 173 young adults (mean age = of 26.61 years; SD = 3.27) with a history of residential child welfare and juvenile justice placements in Switzerland were included in the current study. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-SF), Semi-structured Interview for Personality Functioning DSM-5 (STiP-5.1) and the self-report questionnaires of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment scales (ASEBA) were used. Mediation analyses were conducted through structural equation modeling.

Results

Overall, 76.3% (N = 132) participants indicated at least one type of childhood maltreatment, with emotional neglect being most commonly reported (60.7%). A total of 30.6% (N = 53) participants self-reported mental health problems. Emotional abuse (r = 0.34; p < .001) and neglect (r = 0.28; p < .001) were found to be most strongly associated with mental health problems. In addition, impaired personality functioning was fond to be a significant mediator for overall childhood maltreatment (β = 0.089; p = 0.008) and emotional neglect (β = 0.077; p = 0.016). Finally, impaired self-functioning was found to be a significant mediator when both self-functioning and interpersonal functioning were included as potential mediators in the relationship between overall childhood maltreatment (β1 = 0.177, p1 = 0.007) and emotional neglect (β1 = 0.173, p1 = 0.003).

Conclusion

Emotional neglect may be particularly important in the context of childhood maltreatment, personality functioning, and mental health problems and, therefore, should not be overlooked next to the more “obvious” forms of childhood maltreatment. Combining interventions designed for personality functioning with trauma-informed practices in standard mental health services might counteract the psychopathological outcomes of maltreated children and adolescents.
The role of podiatry in the early identification and prevention of lower limb venous disease: an ethnographic study
Authors: Roberts Peter James Joseph , Ousey Karen , Barker Caroline , Reel Sarah
Published: November 2022

Background

Lower limb venous disease can cause significant pain, loss of mobility, and can be detrimental to an individual's quality of life. Manifestations of venous disease often pose a substantially negative impact on patients and place a high demand on finite healthcare resources. Whilst this problem is internationally recognised, most research and discourse has predominantly focussed on treatment of leg ulceration and prevention of recurrence. Prevention of lower limb venous disease progression to the first ulceration has received far less attention. Overall, the care of this condition appears to rest in the domain of medicine and nursing yet podiatry, a profession with responsibility for the lower limb and foot, is conspicuous by its absence from the literature.

Methods

An ethnographic approach was used to gather data from 26 participants through observation, semi‐structured interviews, and a focus group interview. Qualitative analysis was conducted using the framework approach.

Results

The findings revealed an identity crisis within the podiatry profession. Evidence emerged of ritual and routine practices that did not include lower limb venous disease. External control over practice limited the professional autonomy of podiatrists determining their own activities. Inter‐professional relationships with nursing, and perceptions of boundaries that venous disease was a nursing role were also found to be limiting factors.

Conclusions

This research revealed that podiatry does not occupy a substantive role in contributing to the early identification and prevention of lower limb venous disease. Policy, education, research and practice changes are all required to enhance the contribution of podiatry to reduce the burden of this disease.

Published: November 2022

The rapid advancement of single-cell transcriptomics in neurology has allowed for profiling of post-mortem human brain tissue across multiple diseases. Over the past 3 years, several studies have examined tissue from donors with and without diagnoses of Alzheimer’s disease, highlighting key changes in cell type composition and molecular signatures associated with pathology and, in some cases, cognitive decline. Although all of these studies have generated single-cell/nucleus RNA-seq or ATAC-seq data from the full array of major cell classes in the brain, they have each focused on changes in specific cell types. Here, we synthesize the main findings from these studies and contextualize them in the overall space of large-scale omics studies of Alzheimer’s disease. Finally, we touch upon new horizons in the field, in particular advancements in high-resolution spatial interrogation of tissue and multi-modal efforts—and how they are likely to further advance mechanistic and target-selection studies on Alzheimer’s disease.

Background

An increase in population has led to a higher demand for food. Meeting up this demand has necessitated the use of chemical fertilizers. However, utilization of these fertilizers has a considerable deleterious effect on the soil, plant, human, environmental sustainability, and only increase the cost and reduced profitability. With these identified problems, there is a need for efficient and sustainable methods regarding managing natural resources to enhance food production. Naturally, potassium (K) is an abundant element present in the soil but in an inaccessible form. There is therefore a need to seek an alternative method to improve the K availability to plants noting that K is an essential plant nutrient that plays a major role in plant physiological and metabolic processes. Subsequently, employing microbial potassium solubilizers is an efficient method to enhance the potassium availability in the soil, which in turn improves productivity. Therefore, this review discusses the various types of potassium solubilizing microorganisms in soil, their mechanism of action, and their importance in sustainable crop production.

Main body

Potassium solubilizing microorganisms (KSM) such as bacteria and fungi can solubilize K from an insoluble form to a soluble form to enhance uptake by plants. These microorganisms solubilize K through the production of organic acids such as tartaric acid, citric acid, and oxalic acid to release K from its minerals. Apart from making potassium available, these microbes can improve soil health and crop yield and act as bio-control agents by producing antibiotics. Potassium solubilizing microbes also produce hormones that help plants withstand both biotic and abiotic stresses. Hence, the application of KSM to agricultural soils will reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and enhance the sustainability of food production.

Conclusion

One of the most efficient ways of improving plant utilization of potassium in the soil is to use potassium solubilizing microbes, which can make potassium ions available from minerals of both igneous and sedimentary origins. The use of potassium solubilizing microbes as biofertilizers may be the awaited solution to increasing crop productivity, concerns linked to chemical fertilizer application, and earth resource diminution.

Published: November 2022

Background

HCC is a major health concern worldwide. PKC gamma, a member of the conventional PKC subclass, is involved in many cancer types, but the protein has received little attention in the context of single nucleotide polymorphisms and HCC. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the association of PKC gamma missense SNP with HCV-induced hepatocellular carcinoma.

Methods

The PKC gamma nsSNPs were retrieved from the ENSEMBL genome browser and the deleterious nsSNPs were filtered out through involvingPredictSNP2, CADD, DANN, FATHMM, FunSeq2 and GWAVA. Among the filtered nsSNPs, nsSNP rs1331262028 was identified to be the most pathogenic one. Through involving I-TASSER, ProjectHOPE, I-Mutant, MUpro, mCSM, SDM, DynaMut and MutPred, the influence of SNP rs1331262028 on protein structure, function and stability was estimated. A molecular Dynamic simulation was run to determine the conformational changes in mutant protein structure compared to wild. The blood samples were collected for genotyping analysis and for assessing ALT levels in the blood.

Results

The study identified for the first time an SNP (rs1331262028) of PRKCG to strongly decrease protein stability and induce HCC. The RMSD, RMSF, and Rg values of mutant and wild types found were significantly different. Based on OR and RR values of 5.194 and 2.287, respectively, genotype analysis revealed a higher correlation between the SNP homozygous wild Typeform, AA, and the disease while patients with genotype AG have higher viral load.

Conclusion

Outcomes of the current study delineated PKC gamma SNP rs1331262028 as a genetic marker for HCV-induced HCC that could facilitate disease management after further validation.
Deep low-frequency earthquake activity associated with the 2018 eruptions in the Kirishima volcanic complex, Japan
Authors: Kurihara Ryo , Kato Aitaro
Published: November 2022

Deep low-frequency (DLF) earthquakes have occurred at depths of 10–30 km in the Kirishima volcanic complex, Japan. Here, we investigate the DLF earthquake activity that was associated with the 2018 eruptions, compare these DLF earthquakes with those associated with the 2011 eruptions, and provide inferences on magmatic fluid ascension during these two eruptions. We apply a new matched-filter method to the continuous waveform data from the 2017–2018 period to comprehensively detect the DLF earthquake activity surrounding the 2018 eruptions. This new method can detect microearthquakes using a single seismic station based on an index that is computed as the product of mutual information and the correlation coefficient to measure the similarity between the template and target waveforms. We perform the same analysis using the 2010–2011 waveform data for comparison with the DLF earthquake activity associated with the 2011 eruptions. We detect 75 DLF earthquakes at approximately 25 km depth during the 2017–2018 period, whereas we detect 1302 DLF earthquakes at similar depths during the 2010–2011 period. Although the number of detected 2017–2018 events is small, we identify two swarms of DLF earthquake activity in March and July 2017. The March 2017 swarm coincides with the appearance of mud pots and jet fumaroles at the surface, and the July 2017 swarm coincides with the initiation of crustal deformation, which indicates the inflation of a deep magma reservoir. Furthermore, the occurrence rate of DLF earthquakes increased slightly after the March 2018 eruptions. Although the occurrence rate of DLF earthquakes associated with the 2018 eruptions was much lower than that associated with the 2011 eruptions, the slight increase in DLF earthquakes during the 2018 eruptions implies a connection between the deep magmatic fluid ascension and shallow volcanic unrest in 2018, which is similar to that observed during the 2011 eruptions. Such a close temporal relationship between the DLF earthquakes and surface volcanic activity suggests that the pressure disturbance within volcanic conduits propagates rapidly from depth.

Permutation entropy variations in seismic noise before and after eruptive activity at Shinmoedake volcano, Kirishima complex, Japan

Published: November 2022

Permutation entropy (PE) is a complexity metric that encodes a time series into sequences of symbols and can be used to decipher between deterministic and stochastic behavior. This study investigates PE variations in seismic noise during three eruption cycles in 2011, 2017, and 2018 at Shinmoedake volcano, Japan. The volcano is monitored by a dedicated seismic network and by infrasound microphones that recorded continuously during the aforementioned eruptions. The frequency range 1–7 Hz was used in order to infer temporal changes of PE in seismic noise and minimize any human contributions. The results showed that PE values decreased before the occurrence of each eruption. By combining these results with other observations we can attribute this decrease in PE to two reasons: first, to the occurrence of volcanic tremor that is a deterministic signal, and second, to magma migration at shallower depth beneath Shinmoedake which can attenuate high-frequency seismic waves and thus result in a less stochastic signal. PE also exhibited a spike-like increase just before the onset of the three eruptions. In 2011 and 2017, this feature was probably associated with bubble growth and collapse due to the interaction between the aquifer and high temperature magma. In 2018 the aquifer had mostly evaporated; hence, the spike in PE values was likely generated by fracturing of solidified magma within the conduit as fresh magma was pushing its way upwards. These results show that PE is a potentially useful tool for monitoring seismic noise at volcanoes and can contribute toward forecasting volcanic eruptions in conjunction with other widely used methodologies.

Cancer ego-system in glioma: an iron-replenishing niche network systemically self-organized by cancer stem cells
Authors: Tabu Kouichi , Taga Tetsuya
Published: November 2022

For all living organisms, the adaptation to outside environments is an essential determinant to survive natural and artificial selections and to sustain the whole ecosystem intact with functional biodiversity. Likewise, cancer cells have similar characteristics that evade not only stresses from the host-internal innate and adaptive immune systems but also those from host-externally administered therapeutic interventions. Such selfish characteristics of cancer cells lead to the formation of cancerous ecosystem with a wide variety of phenotypic heterogeneity, which should be called cancer “egosystem” from the host point of view. Recently increasing evidence demonstrates that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for this cancer egosystem by effectively exploiting host inflammatory and hematopoietic cells and thereby reconstructing their own advantageous niches, which may well be a driving force in cancer recurrence. CSCs are further likely to render multiple niches mutually interconnected and cooperating as a network to support back CSCs themselves. Here, we summarize a recently identified iron-replenishing niche network self-organized by glioma CSCs (GSCs) through remote regulation of host myeloid and erythroid lineage cells. GSCs recruit bone marrow (BM)-derived inflammatory monocytes into tumor parenchyma, facilitate their differentiation into macrophages (Mφs) and skew their polarization into pro-tumoral phenotype, i.e., tumor-associated Mφs (TAMs). Meanwhile, GSCs distantly enhance erythropoiesis in host hematopoietic organs like BM and spleen potentially by secreting some soluble mediators that maintain continuous supply of erythrocytes within tumors. In addition, as normal red pulp Mφs (RPMs) under steady state conditions in spleen recycle iron by phagocytosing the aged or damaged erythrocytes (a/dECs) and release it in time of need, TAMs at least in gliomas phagocytose the hemorrhaged erythrocytes within tumors and potentially serve as a source of iron, an important nutrient indispensable to GSC survival and glioma progression. Taken together, these studies provide the substantial evidence that CSCs have a unique strategy to orchestrate multiple niches as an ecosystem that threatens the host living, which in this sense must be an egosystem. Targeting such an adaptive subpopulation of CSCs could achieve drastic disturbance of the CSC niches and subsequent extinction of malignant neoplasms.

Published: November 2022

On Twitter, complex networks of information propagation are observed. In this article, we propose a method to model the time interval of user's tweets by combining the marked Hawkes process and the Latent Dirichlet Allocation method. We also propose a method that quantifies how individual topics in tweets excite future tweets and visualize the results as a topic-wise Hawkes graph. As an application to actual data, we analyze the tweets from the American, Chinese, and British embassies from February 1, 2020, to September 27, 2020, a period that roughly corresponds to the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: November 2022

Context

Prenatal exposures, including undernutrition, overnutrition, and parental diabetes, are recognized risk factors for future cardiometabolic disease. There are currently no data on effects of parental diabetes on disease progression or complications in youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective

We analyzed effects of parental diabetes history on glycemic outcomes, β-cell function, and complications in a US cohort of youth-onset T2D.

Methods

Participants (N = 699) aged 10 to 17 years with T2D were enrolled at 15 US centers and followed for up to 12 years as part of the TODAY (Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) and TODAY2 follow-up studies. Information about diabetes diagnosis in biological mothers was available for 621 participants (never = 301; before or during pregnancy = 218; after pregnancy = 102) and in biological fathers for 519 (no diabetes = 352; paternal diabetes = 167).

Results

Maternal, but not paternal, diabetes was associated with loss of glycemic control over time, defined as glycated hemoglobin A1c greater than or equal to 8% for more than 6 months (P = .001). Similarly, maternal, but not paternal, diabetes was associated with increased risk of glomerular hyperfiltration (P = .01) and low heart rate variability (P = .006) after 12 years of follow-up. Effects were largely independent of age, sex, race/ethnicity, and household income. Maternal diabetes during vs after pregnancy had similar effects on outcomes.

Conclusion

Maternal diabetes, regardless of whether diagnosed during vs after pregnancy, is associated with worse glycemic control, glomerular hyperfiltration, and reduced heart rate variability in youth with T2D in TODAY. The strong associations of diabetes outcomes with maternal diabetes suggest a possible role for in utero programming.
You Forbid Me to Walk: Yokota Hiroshi's Disability Poetics
Authors: Campana Andrew
Published: November 2022

This article explores the work of the poet Yokota Hiroshi, a leader in Japan's disability rights movement, and how he used his experiences of having cerebral palsy to create a new kind of disability poetics. Like in much of the world, Japan in the 1970s saw the emergence of disability movements that aimed to challenge the inaccessibility and cruelty of a society made by and for nondisabled people. Yokota was involved with two key groups of this kind—the literary coterie Shinonome and the activist group Aoi Shiba no Kai—and over several decades published multiple books about the ideologies that justified killing disabled people and the construction of disabled society and culture, as well as several books of poetry. In his poems, he aimed not only to shed light on the oppression and dehumanization of disabled people but to rethink dominant conceptions of embodiment and “able-bodiedness” itself.
Archipelagic Optics in Wu Ming-Yi's The Man with the Compound Eyes
Authors: Chang Yi-Ting
Published: November 2022

In transpacific and Asian/American studies, islands often gain decolonial meaning via their explicit ties to US and Japanese military imperialisms. This article inquires how islands express the decolonial beyond US-centric anti-imperial critique, and how they complicate the fields’ geopolitical imagination largely defined by the category of independent nation-states. To that end, the author turns to Taiwanese writer Wu Ming-Yi's The Man with the Compound Eyes and develops “archipelagic optics” as a transpacific interpretive framework—one that includes the decontinental in its decolonial thesis. Archipelagic optics takes liminal islands such as Taiwan and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch as its epistemic grounds; it advances a multicentered epistemology in order to articulate inter- and intra-island contradictions; and it foregrounds “interdependence” rather than “independence” as an ontopolitical premise of archipelagic lives. Archipelagic optics indexes a form of decolonial sensing by refuting the impersonal, monocular eye of military cameras used by multiple empires to surveil Pacific islands. As this article will demonstrate, the decolonial goes beyond the deconstruction of military intercolonialism. It also means tracing noninnocent multiplicity, decontinental seeing, and immanent dependencies emerging from formerly “obscure” sites.

A manager has access to expert advisers. The manager selects at most one project and can implement it only if one expert provides support. The game in which the manager consults experts simultaneously typically has multiple equilibria, including one in which at least one expert supports the manager's favorite project. Only one outcome, the experts' most preferred equilibrium outcome, survives iterated deletion of weakly dominated strategies. We show that no sequential procedure can perform better for the manager than the experts' most preferred equilibrium and exhibit a sequential protocol that does as well. (JEL C72, D23, D82)
Rapid Dynamics of Top Wealth Shares and Self-Made Fortunes: What Is the Role of Family Firms?
Authors: Atkeson Andrew G. , Irie Magnus
Published: November 2022

We derive an analytical link between the fast dynamics of inequality at the top of the wealth distribution and the prevalence of newly created fortunes. Specifically, in the context of a random growth model of wealth accumulation, the shape of the top of the wealth distribution changes rapidly only if the pace with which new fortunes are created is fast. Quantitatively, the decision of a few families to bear a large amount of idiosyncratic risk in the form of family firms is crucial in accounting for both the prevalence of new fortunes and the dynamics of top wealth inequality.

Authors: Halim Freda , Azhar Yohana , Suwarman Suwarman , Hernowo Bethy
Published: November 2022

Endocrine therapy resistance in Luminal Breast Cancer is a significant issue to be tackled, but currently, no specific biomarker could be used to anticipate this event. p53 mutation is widely known as one of Breast Cancer’s most prominent genetic alterations. Its mutation could generate various effects in Estrogen Receptor and Progesterone Receptor molecular works, tangled in events leading to the aggravation of endocrine therapy resistance. Hence the possibility of p53 mutation utilization as an endocrine therapy resistance predictive biomarker is plausible. The purpose of this review is to explore the latest knowledge of p53 role in Estrogen Receptor and Progesterone Receptor molecular actions, thus aggravating the Endocrine Therapy resistance in Luminal Breast Cancer, from which we could define possibilities and limitations to utilize p53 as the predictive biomarker of endocrine therapy resistance in Luminal Breast Cancer.
Case Report: Spontaneous remission of early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Authors: Cherif Amira , Saada Veronique , Bouatay Amina
Published: November 2022

Background: Spontaneous remission (SR) has been reported in different hematological malignancies. It has been observed in adult T-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is generally associated with recovery from an infectious or immunological process, and more recently possibly with clonal hematopoiesis.

Case: We reviewed the literature and reported a new case of a 40 year-old man with a morphologic and cytogenetic diagnosis of early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) associated with an appendicular abscess. During his hospitalization and surgical management of his appendicitis, we noted SR of the rate of blast cells until cytological and cytogenetic remission of his ALL but unfortunately it did not last too long, moreover our patient relapsed after nine months, received intensive chemotherapy, underwent a placental blood allograft but relapsed again and died.

Conclusions: In contrast to SR in other types of cancer, all documented cases of SR in ALL were only transient, so is there a need for early cytotoxic therapy in SR in ALL to delay relapse?
Nauczanie Jana Chryzostoma o charyzmatach na podstawie "Homilii do Pierwszego Listu św. Pawła do Koryntian"
Authors: Kieling Michał
Published: November 2022

Tematyka charyzmatów w Kościele starożytnym budzi wciąż duże zainteresowanie i jest przedmiotem badań naukowych. Jednym z autorów chrześcijańskich, który wyjaśnia znaczenie charyzmatów był Jan Chryzostom († 407). Przedmiotem powyższego opracowania jest przedstawienie nauczania tego Ojca Kościoła na temat charyzmatów na podstawie jego Homilii do I Listu św. Pawła do Koryntian. W pierwszym punkcie artykułu ukazano zagadnienie pochodzenia charyzmatów i ich cel. W drugim punkcie przedstawiono terminologię, jaką posługuje się Jan Chryzostom w określaniu charyzmatów: duchowy dar, dar łaski, posługiwanie i działanie, objawienie Ducha Świętego. W trzecim punkcie opracowania zaprezentowano poszczególne charyzmaty, w tym dar języków. W czwartym punkcie przedstawiono najważniejszy według autora charyzmat, jakim jest miłość. W ujęciu Jana Chryzostoma charyzmaty pochodzą od Trójcy świętej i są darami, które otrzymuje chrześcijanin w celu budowania wspólnoty Kościoła i nie dla jego własnego dobra, lecz dla dobra wszystkich. To ukierunkowanie na wspólnotowy charakter darów duchowych jest ważnym kryterium w kwestii rozeznawania charyzmatów. Natomiast miłość jest powszechnym i najdoskonalszym darem. Według starożytnego kaznodziei miłość jest drogą, która prowadzi do wszystkich pozostałych charyzmatów. Nauczanie Jana Chryzostoma o charyzmatach jest wciąż aktualne, ponieważ te dary Ducha Świętego obecne są w Kościele w czasach współczesnych.
„Cała sprawiedliwość” (pasa dikaiosynē) w Mateuszowej narracji o chrzcie Jezusa (3,13–17)
Authors: Żywica Zdzisław
Published: November 2022

Autor artykułu, analizując Mateuszową perykopę o chrzcie Jezusa, a w niej szczególnie jego materiał własny dotyczący dialogu Nazarejczyka z Janem, dochodzi do wniosku, że użyte w niej słowa „cała sprawiedliwość” w narracyjnym i teologicznym zamyśle Ewangelisty pełnią funkcję słów kluczy do zrozumienia nie tylko samej działalności Jana i chrztu Jezusa, lecz także całego orędzia o królestwie niebios w jego Ewangelii. Rzeczownik dikaiosynē rozumie on jako wolę Bożą. Za takim rozumieniem przemawia fakt, że łączy on go z czasownikiem pleroō, za pomocą którego programowo i konsekwentnie dowodzi w całej swej narracji, że w Jezusie wypełniają się wszystkie obietnice Boga. Dodając zaś przymiotnik pasa przesądza, że ma na myśli całą wolę Bożą, czyli tę już objawioną, i tę, która jest objawiana w Dobrej Nowinie o królestwie niebios. Otwarcie niebios przez Boga i Jego głos obwieszcza zmianę dotychczasowych relacji między Nim a ludzkością i światem, w związku z dopełnianiem się całej sprawiedliwości. Fakt, że zostały one otwarte Jezusowi, oznacza, że te nowe relacje zostaną zrealizowane w nowym stworzeniu i nowym ludzie, to jest Kościele wszystkich narodów, przez zbawcze dzieło Jezusa – Dziedzica Ducha Bożego i Sługi Pańskiego, który zbawi ludzkość od jej grzechów i odnowi całe stworzenie. Poza tym, jego narracja o chrzcie służy uwiarygodnieniu słów Jezusa skierowanych do Jana.

Authors: Depoo Lucie , Hyršlová Jaroslava
Published: November 2022

Purpose: The paper focuses on identification of variables affecting management leading to reliability and retention of virtual teams.
Methodology/Approach: The data were collected globally from 323 managers working with virtual teams; members were hired and worked fully virtually with team members from different countries and time zones. Respondents were from all continents. The data were evaluated by tested by reliability tests and two and multidimensional statistics (Spearman’s correlation, principal component and factor analysis).
Findings: Empowerment and encouraging were proven as variables significantly affecting management of virtual teams’ reliability. Variables leading to employee retention are communication, performance appraisal, career plans, training and leadership/supervision to overcome barriers. Efficient management in virtual environment is significantly related to policies and career possibilities. Over 20% of managers are incompetent to work with virtual teams. The main threat leading to failure of virtual teams is burn out based on social distancing.
Research Limitation/Implication: Limitation of the study is the first approach to the virtual teams’ management only focusing on ICT employees. The findings revealed significant relations leading to virtual operations impacting employees’ performance, reliability and retention.
Originality/Value of paper: This paper provides an insight into the importance of innovative approach to virtual teams, as virtual employees may strive with low social contact and less support from organization.

Purpose: The paper aims to introduce risk assessment in new product development as an important activity for a successful new product launch. A practical example is presented to demonstrate the integration of tools Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Pythagorean Fuzzy Dimensional Analysis (PFDA) at new product development process, which is a machined component.
Methodology/Approach: Individual steps for creating a case study were carried out: create a Subject Matter Expert (SME) team, identify product failure modes, use linguistic values to assess the FMEA, compute and obtain the PFDA-FMEA and determine the product failure modes ranking.
Findings: Minimized uncertainty in the final evaluation of the FMEA and improvement in the decision-making process based on the risks already identified in the new product development process.
Research Limitation/Implication: The PFDA-FMEA method was based on the risk assessment of a machined part development process. Nevertheless, this method can be used for application in many other areas of industry that require high precision in risk analysis.
Originality/Value of paper: The aim of this paper is to reveal a new integrated method in which FMEA, Pythagorean Fuzzy Sets (PFS) and Dimensional Analysis (DA) are coherent in one model.
„Ja, czyli pamięć o mnie” – świeckie relikwie w korespondencji Juliusza Słowackiego. Przyczynek do rozważań nad stosunkiem poety do przedmiotów

„I, or the Memory of Me” – Juliusz Słowacki as a Designer of Mementos of Himself: Contribution to the Reflection on the Poet’s Attitude to Objects The paper deals with Juliusz Słowacki’s correspondence and focuses on those passages in which the poet refers to memory or images associated with it, and in this context talks about himself with the help of objects or even presents himself disguised as them. The discussion focuses on his efforts to commemorate himself appropriately in the form of a material memento, an idea which dates back to the Age of Enlightenment. The textual examples were selected on the basis of Grzegorz Marzec’s classification of Romantic metaphors of memory. The considerations are a part of my broader research on the status of matter in Słowacki’s so-called late works.
Niezrozumiany z urojenia? Edmund Stefana Witwickiego

Delusions of Being Misunderstood? Stefan Witwicki’s Edmund The article aims to interpret Stefan Witwicki’s Edmund (1829) from the viewpoint of relations between the protagonist and people around him. The figure of Edmund is the unquestionable centre of this drama and the mal du siècle that he is afflicted by is its main theme. Misunderstanding dominates the tensions between the characters – successive (real or illusory) attempts to transcend it mark the main axis of my reading of Witwicki’s work. What I am most interested in, however, is a scenario in which understanding appears (to some extent) and the resulting consequences.
Organizational adoption of Robotic Process Automation: managing the performativity of hype
Authors: Kaniadakis Antonios , Linturn Laura
Published: November 2022

Robotic process automation (RPA) has recently been subject to colossal hype. Although hype and expectations around technological innovation have been researched at length, there is limited research into the impact of hype at a firm level from an adopter’s perspective. Through an inductive multi-case study of five organizations from the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) sector that have adopted RPA over the past five years, we attempted to answer the question: how does RPA technology hype reach the shores of organizations and what adoption behaviour and decision making does it drive? Findings point to the critical role of senior management as instigators of adoption and legitimation, which goes beyond the sponsorship role identified in extant theory. Results also demonstrate that RPA adoption is driven by a ‘hunt’ for use cases by interdisciplinary teams, which exposes long-standing operational problems while at the same time offers opportunities for organizational learning. We contribute to a theoretical understanding of the organizational performativity of hype and draw lessons for industry practitioners considering RPA and other hyped technologies for organizational adoption.

Published: November 2022

The transformation of the economy into a digital environment has become a necessary step in recent years. The consequences of the COVID pandemic have accelerated the digital transformation and the growth of the digital economy. Intensive business engagement in the digital economy requires innovative digital solutions and online means of promotion and sale. European Union (EU) countries need to create the conditions for the gradual transformation. The paper analyses business readiness for the digital economy in EU countries. It aims to compare and assess the current situation of digital readiness based on the set of selected indicators. The analysis includes a multidimensional comparison of EU countries, classification based on cluster analysis, and ranking based on factor analysis results. Results show significant differences among EU countries. Newer member countries, mostly from South-Eastern Europe, are still lagging behind the EU average in e-Commerce activities, usage of social networks, and cloud computing. Furthermore, factor analysis has been conducted to determine underlining factors describing the overall digital readiness of EU countries and rank them accordingly. As well as in the cluster analysis, factor analysis revealed that Nordic EU member countries perform very well and show the highest digital readiness.

De género y de géneros: Victoria Ocampo, traductora de Colette: “Gigi”
Authors: Zenarruza de Clément Silvia
Published: November 2022

Victoria Ocampo has been an agent of hybridization in Argentinean literature, acting as a bridge that has fostered the exchange of literary ideas between Argentina, Europe and the United States. This is precisely what she did with her translation of Gigi, by Colette. In this essay we aim at the study of the many ties, parallels, and overlaps existing between Ocampo and Colette.
VELÁZQUEZ GARCÍA, S. (Universidad de Salamanca): EL NEORREALISMO ITALIANO. INFLUENCIA EN EL CINE ESPAÑOL DE LOS AÑOS CINCUENTA
Authors: VELÁZQUEZ GARCÍA Sara
Published: November 2022

Este artículo se propone ofrecer un panorama de la recepción del cine neorrealista italiano en España desde sus inicios, con atención especial a algunos de sus títulos más emblemáticos, así como a los directores, productores y realizadores más importantes. El cine español de los 50 adoptó muchas de las características principales de esta corriente italiana permitiendo el surgimiento de algunos de los títulos principales de la cultura española de la época. A pesar del fuerte  componente ideológico del regimen franquista, la influencia del Neorrealismo italiano dio lugar a una escuela cinematográfica que contribuyó al enriquecimiento del patrimonio cultural de nuestro país, gracias a autores como Juan Antonio Bardem, Luis García Berlanga y José Antonio Nieves Conde.
CARLUCCI, L.(Universidad de Granada): SISTEMA CENSOR Y PRÁCTICAS TRADUCTORAS EN LA ETAPA FRANQUISTA: EL CASO DE GIOVANNINO GUARESCHI
Authors: CARLUCCI Laura
Published: November 2022

En términos generales, podemos decir que durante las casi cuatro décadas del régimen de Franco el porcentaje de literatura extranjera traducida que escapó a la censura fue extremadamente escaso. Guareschi es uno de los escritores italianos más traducidos en todo el mundo, y las novelas de “Don Camillo” muy pronto se convirtieron en grandes bestsellers en Europa. Hasta la fecha, se han vendido más de 20 millones de ejemplares de ellas, y sus libros se han traducido a más de cincuenta idiomas. En este ensayo, nos centraremos en la actitud de la censura de Franco para con las traducciones españolas de las novelas de “Don Camillo”, con el propósito de mostrar hasta qué punto el sistema censor estaba interesado en permitir la recepción de bestsellers importados, y qué medidas adoptó hacia las obras literarias extranjeras que eran económicamente rentables, aunque a veces ideológicamente poco convenientes.
PENAS IBÁÑEZ, Beatriz & GARCÍA LANDA, José Ángel (UZ): “Art, Truth, and Politics” de Harold Pinter (2005): traducción de un texto culturalmente relevante.
Authors: PENAS IBÁÑEZ Beatriz
Published: November 2022

La presente contribución ofrece al lector en lengua castellana la posibilidad de leer –en su versión traducida al español– el discurso que Harold Pinter, el reconocido dramaturgo británico fallecido en 2008, compuso para su presentación “in absentia” ante la Real Academia Sueca en diciembre de 2005, con ocasión de la entrega que se le hizo del premio Nobel de Literatura el día siete de dicho mes y año. Se trata de un texto del que sólo encontraremos las traducciones al francés, sueco y alemán que acompañan al original inglés en la página web de la Fundación Nobel. Por eso  esta traducción al español parece necesaria. El discurso de Pinter es un texto importante al que los lectores de lengua española  también han de tener acceso por el interés de las ideas en él desarrolladas y por la valentía con que dichas ideas fueron expuestas a la luz pública.

SALES, Dora (UJI): Vivir en un mundo transnacional. La traducción como parte de la identidad transcultural
Authors: Sales Dora
Published: November 2022

En el marco del paradigma poscolonial y multicultural, el pluralismo es orgánico, la traducción es una inevitable forma de vida, y la conciencia y estrategias traductoras pueden ser una manera de reforzar diversas identidades lingüísticas y culturales. Este artículo pretende reflexionar en torno a la relevancia de la traducción en cuanto a la construcción de la identidad en el mundo contemporáneo. Con este objetivo, nos centramos, de forma sucinta, en novelas que resultan ser propuestas narrativas excepcionales a este respecto: The Translator (1999), de la sudanesa Leila Aboulela, The Interpreter (2003), de la coreano-norteamericana Suki Kim, y The Mission Song (2006), del británico John Le Carré. Todos estos textos promueven, desde diversas perspectivas y matices, un profundo punto de vista traductológico de naturaleza posestructuralista, en el que la traducción y la interpretación son formas de vida y alegorías de la identidad transcultural.
YEBARA, Sonia Mabel (Universidad Nacional de Rosario). Rigor e impertinencia en ‘X1’ (Sobre la traducción del soneto en ix de Mallarmé)
Authors: YEBARA Sonia Mabel
Published: November 2022

Nuestro trabajo se centrará en examinar versológicamente el soneto original (configuración estrófica, metro, rima, léxico, sintaxis) y establecer ‘vasos comunicantes’ entre dicho poema y los de sus traductores: “El de sus puras uñas…” y “Sus puras uñas muy alto…” de O. Paz y H. Piccoli, respectivamente. Plantearemos la dicotomía rigor e impertinencia como problema, para aludir a traducciones que se quieren literales, fieles semántica, prosódica y sintácticamente al poema en su lengua de origen y a la fatal defección que se produce cuando pretenden recrear una sintaxis y significantes indecidibles.
