Responsabilidad de los prestadores de servicios en línea por contenidos protegidos por la propiedad intelectual frente a libertad de expresión
Authors: Martínez Espín Pascual
Published: March 2023

El legislador de la Unión puede imponer algunas obligaciones de supervisión y de filtrado a determinados intermediarios en línea respetando la libertad de expresión, siempre que, en cualquier caso, tales obligaciones estén delimitadas por garantías suficientes para minimizar el impacto del filtrado sobre esa libertad. Habida cuenta de que el artículo 17 de la Directiva 2019/790 establece esas garantías, el Tribunal de Justicia declara que dicha disposición es válida.
Do agricultural prices respond to interest on reserves?
Authors: Pal Debdatta
Published: March 2023

This paper elucidates the responsiveness of agricultural commodity prices to changes in interest on reserves, an unconventional monetary policy. It uses a vector autoregression model on monthly data for the United States, from October 2008 to July 2019. The empirical findings show that an increase in the interest rate on reserves leads to a drop in the price of corn, sorghum, and cotton. An increase in the interest on reserves declines the money supply, which increases the real interest rate and makes bonds lucrative over alternative investments such as agricultural commodities. This depresses the farm commodity prices, and the effect reaches its maximum after nearly four months. However, the impact on wheat prices is relatively weak. The estimations are robust to alternate specifications. The results of this study confirm the strong linkage between money supply and the prices of agricultural commodities. Food security for those nations that are heavily dependent on imported food grain from the U.S. market are dependent on the U.S. monetary policy.
Tecendo saberes a respeito do processo criativo na docência da educação infantil
Authors: Mello Regina Lara Silveira , Silva Márcia Tostes Costa da
Published: March 2023

O texto apresenta reflexões acerca do processo criativo na docência especialmente dedicada à criança, observando ações e estabelecendo diálogos com uma professora da educação infantil da rede pública do município de Barueri, zona oeste da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. A pesquisa apoia-se na metodologia qualitativa, estudo de caso, apresentando reflexões sobre o projeto “Por causa da luz”, desenvolvido com uma turma de 27 crianças com 5 anos de idade. Os conceitos desenvolvidos por Vygotsky, que estabelecem relações entre atividade imaginativa e realidade, o fluir de ideias correntes, elaborado por Csikzentmihalyi, e a coragem de criar, segundo May, são os principais aportes teóricos em que se baseia este estudo. O processo inicia-se quando o professor se encontra em situações reais que requerem soluções criativas. Se o interesse das crianças é percebido e compartilhado, ocorre o encontro, permeado de emoções, que gera o fluir criativo. Evidenciou-se no desenvolvimento deste artigo que o processo criativo na docência é alimentado e cultivado por pesquisas, trabalho árduo, sério, com metas claras e coragem o suficiente para inovar.

Authors: Balleste Samantha , Capilheira Bianca Herreira
Published: March 2023

A literatura afirma que de todas as instituições deveriam ser organizadas coletivamente por todos os membros da comunidade escolar, ou seja, os gestores, professores e alunos. Entretanto, os currículos normalmente acabam sendo definidos apenas pelos gestores e professores. Assim, este estudo busca caracterizar a percepção dos discentes dos semestres finais da graduação e dos profissionais recém-graduados de um curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo, sobre a estrutura curricular do seu curso, identificando aspectos que poderiam ser modificados. A pesquisa, do tipo qualitativa e quantitativa, é conduzida a partir de um estudo de caso: a Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da UFPel, localizada em Pelotas-RS. Como resultado, foram reveladas as percepções dos discentes e recém-graduados quanto à conformação curricular do curso, a adequação da composição curricular, a carga horária total, a distribuição das disciplinas e sua carga horária nas áreas de conhecimento específicas, de modo a melhorar a sua formação profissional.

Supermarket deserts in the Polish trade landscape in comparison with the global development trends in this sector
Authors: Rochmińska Agnieszka
Published: March 2023

The article presents the development of food retail in Poland in comparison with global trends, characterised by the tendency to replace small traditional food stores with large-format stores, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets. This tendency has led to the emergence of retail and food deserts in numerous countries. This is a major problem from the perspective of both practitioners and researchers. In Poland, like in many other countries in the world, similar processes in retail development occur, therefore, researchers should pay attention to the emergence of retail deserts, the so-called ‘supermarket deserts,’ as well as some limitations in terms of access to supermarkets. Many territorial units in Poland, especially in eastern Poland, have no large-format stores. These areas constitute retail deserts and require further micro-scale research.

Published: March 2023

Le but de ce travail prospectif de 15 cas, est de comparer la ligamentoplastie anatomique par mini-abord et sous arthroscopie d’une part et la ligamentoplastie classique dans la littérature d’autre part. Huit femmes et sept hommes, âgés de 19 à 71 ans, avec moyenne d’âge de 43 ans, ayant eu une reconstruction ligamentaire par greffe du muscle Gracilis (9 par Arthroscopie versus 6 mini-open) entre Juillet 2017 et Janvier 2018. Les patients sont revus à 6 semaines puis à 3 mois et à 6 mois. Les résultats subjectifs ont montré 93% de satisfaction, une patiente était moyennement satisfaite par le retard de la cicatrisation et de la raideur de la cheville (infection post opératoire). Le score de Kaïkkonen global moyen était de 83 % de satisfaction (85% mini-open versus 83 % sous arthroscopie). Tous les patients avaient des chevilles stables. La reprise du travail ou des activités s’est faite entre 2 et 3 mois pour 13 patients (87% des cas). Ces deux techniques semblent fiables en termes de reconstruction ligamentaire, avec avantage de l’arthroscopie pour le traitement des lésions associées. Et les résultats sont favorables par rapports aux reconstructions classiques utilisant le court fibulaire.
Analyse Socio-Anthropologique des Conflits Liés à la Succession des Classes d’Âge Chez les Tchaman à Abidjan (Côte d’Ivore)
Authors: N’Guessan Nanan Doh Gérard , Arnaud N’Drin Owo Jean
Published: March 2023

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le champ de la socio-anthropologie qui cherche à appréhender l’enchevêtrement des diverses sphères sociales (économique, politique, culturel, historique etc.) qui sous-tendent le phénomène des conflits liés à la succession des classes d’âge chez les Tchaman à Abidjan. En recherchant une explication à ce phénomène récurent, nous avons mené une étude dont l’objectif général est d’analyser les conflits liés à la succession des classes d’âge chez les Tchaman. Sur la base de la théorie du choix rationnel de Montousse & Renouard (2005), l’hypothèse de travail est que des facteurs socioculturels rendent compte des conflits liés à la succession des classes d’âge chez les Tchaman. Cinq cent cinquante (550) personnes enquêtées, déterminées par un échantillonnage par jugement ont participé à l’étude. Les outils d’investigation sont la recherche documentaire, l’observation, le questionnaire et l’entretien. Quant à l’analyse des données, nous avons eu recours à la méthode qualitative et quantitative. Au niveau des résultats, on retient que ces conflits se déclinent sous plusieurs formes notamment des conflits de chefferie, des conflits générationnels, des conflits intergénérationnels, des conflits fonciers, des conflits contre l'autorité administrative, des conflits intervillages et des conflits financiers. Les Blessouè, les Tchagba, les Gnandô, les Dougbo, les anciens chefs de village, les autorités préfectorales et municipales sont identifiés comme les principaux acteurs de ces conflits. Comme tout phénomène social, plusieurs facteurs sont à l’origine de ces conflits. Il s’agit de la mauvaise gestion des ressources du village, l’ingérence des autorités administratives dans le choix des chefs de villages, le non-respect des limites des patrimoines familiaux et la revendication foncière des jeunes au chômage.
Effects of Uncertainity on Domestic Private Investments in Kenya
Authors: Mmeri Ambetsa Nelson , Ongeri B. Onkoba , Ndolo David Katuta
Published: March 2023

The domestic private investment serves as a prerequisite for the development and modernization of any economy. In Kenya, macroeconomic and political uncertainties play a significant role in influencing private domestic investments. That is informed by the fact that these investments allow investors to fund particular ventures, which creates jobs and increase government revenues through taxation, hence boosting the growth of the economy and improving the living standards of the people. However, private domestic investments are severely affected by both macroeconomic and political uncertainties with regards to how the government formulates political, economic, and regulatory policies that affect the business climate. Investors are risk-averse; hence they base investment decisions on prevailing and future conditions of the business environment. This study focused on analyzing the effects of uncertainty on Kenya’s domestic private investments. The study estimated the Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds technique which captures both short and long-run dynamics of this relationship amongst the variables. Time series data from UNCTAD, World Bank, and the Central Bank of Kenya for the period spanning 1980 to the year 2019 was used. The study results suggest that real GDP (RGDP) and real effective exchange rates (REER) have a significant and positive effect on private domestic investment (PDI). In contrast, inflation (INFL), Real interest rates (RINR), Political uncertainty (PRI), and WUIKEN (economic policy uncertainty and volatility in the stock markets) have a negative and significant effect on private domestic investments. Based on these results, the most significant factors affecting private domestic investments were found to be political uncertainty (PRI), real gross domestic investment (RGDP), and WUIKEN (economic policy uncertainty and volatility in the stock markets). Effectively, the study recommends that the government should enact policies that increase the ease of doing business and reduce economic and political uncertainty, such as a reduction in the tax rate, stabilization of exchange rate and stable political environment in order to reduce investor uncertainty and skepticism and also enhance their confidence.

Authors: Alshirawi Maryam , Hajji Huda
Published: March 2023

Weakness in the skill of Emotional Discrimination is one of the obstacles that stand in the way of interaction and social communication of children with autism spectrum disorder, and for its development, it is necessary to prepare a program that helps improve deficiencies and gives good indicators of program performance. This study explored the effectiveness of a training program based on a theory of mind on the development of deficiencies in the skill of emotional discrimination. The study is consistent with previous studies and adds to the limited literature on the experience of developing emotional discrimination in children with autism spectrum disorder. The results could be useful in improving social interaction and supporting children's expression and emotional expression needs, which in turn reduces their social and communication deficits.

Authors: Ilijevski Ice , Ilik Goran , Babanoski Kire
Published: March 2023

The number of countries that express concern for the danger of using cryptocurrencies for illegal activities among which are money laundering and terrorism financing is increasing. Cryptocurrencies are virtual assets created and managed through advanced computer encryption and operate on a decentralized network known as a blockchain. The key issue of concern and attention in the world is the anonymity and pseudonymity of cryptocurrencies, which prevents proper monitoring of transactions by state institutions and allows the completion of suspicious transactions outside the regulated systems. The paper provides an overview and presentation of the existing European legal framework and the measures and activities undertaken by the Republic of North Macedonia, harmonized with the European ones, in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing in the crypto sector.

Published: March 2023

L’article enquête sur la détermination des objectifs de l’introduction en bourse de l’Etat et de l’actionnaire privé, à travers le calcul de la sous évaluation initiale pour deux cas réalisés sur le parquet de la bourse des valeurs mobilières de Tunis. La Sous Evaluation Initiale (SEI) est un moyen d’attraction des nouveaux investisseurs, en vue de la restructuration du haut du bilan d’une entreprise. Une plus-value réalisée attire les actionnaires à la participation à une augmentation du capital et la diminution du taux d’endettement, alors qu’une moins-value constatée suite à une surévaluation de l’action entrave la croissance de l’entreprise et démystifie l’image de marque de la société. Les objectifs de la cotation en bourse influent la fixation du cours d’introduction. En visant la transparence, la pérennité et l’image de la société. L’initiateur de l’opération fixe la juste valeur de l’entreprise et attire les potentialités financières. En visant la réalisation d’une importante plus value, l’initiateur de l’offre publique de vente, risque de nuire à la croissance de la firme et échouer l’opération. Les résultats ont montré la divergence des objectifs de l’introduction en bourse. L’Etat cherche à dynamiser le marché financier, catalyser la finance directe, et appliquer la sous évaluation initiale alors que le privé cherche à maximiser le produit de cession, réaliser la plus importante plus value nette d’impôts, et appliquer une surévaluation initiale.

Introduction : Le but de cette étude est de déterminer les principales complications des suites de couches à la maternité du CHU-Kara. Patientes et Méthodes : il s’est agi d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive menée du 1er janvier 2017 au 31 décembre 2020 portant sur les complications des suites de couches au CHU Kara. Résultats : 300 cas de complications du post partum soit une fréquence de 3,13% ont été enregistrées dans le service de gynécologie-obstétrique du CHU Kara. La majorité des patientes était référée (59,33%) avec une tranche d’âge comprise entre 18 et 30 ans (49%). Les complications des suites de couches majoritaires étaient les complications hémorragiques 59,31%, l’anémie du post partum 17%, l’endométrite 9,33% et l’éclampsie du Post partum 6,30 %. Toutes ces complications ont nécessité une prise en charge médicale et obstétricale. L’hystérectomie et la triple ligature vasculaire ont été effectuées respectivement dans 1,69% et 3% des cas. Nous avons enregistré 17 décès maternels soit 6%. Conclusion : Il ressort de cette étude que les complications hémorragiques étaient les plus fréquentes en suites de couche au CHU Kara. La meilleure prise en charge de ces complications du post partum passerait par une meilleure réorganisation du système de prise en charge et un renforcement du plateau technique de toutes les structures sanitaires.

La présente étude examine la relation entre la charge de travail, le soutien social et le bien-être psychologique au travail. L’échantillon est composé de 180 agents de santé âgé de 21 à 52 ans dont 41 Médecins, 113 Infirmiers/Sages-femmes et 26 Aides-Soignants. L’instrument d’enquête est un questionnaire incluant les échelles de la charge de travail (N’Tsame-Sima, 2013), du soutien social (karasek et al., 1998) et du bien-être psychologique au travail Dagenais-Desmarais(2010). Les données recueillies ont été traitées à l’aide de l’analyse de variances (ANOVA). Les résultats indiquent, d’une part, qu’il n’existe pas de différence significative entre la charge de travail et le bien-être psychologique des participants. D’autre part, le soutien social ainsi que son interaction avec la charge de travail ont un effet positivement significatif sur le bien-être psychologique au travail des agents de santé des services de pédiatrie des CHU d’Abidjan. Ces résultats suggèrent aux dirigeants des structures sanitaires de promouvoir le travail en équipe des agents de santé afin de favoriser leur bien-être psychologique au travail gage de la qualité de l’offre de soins.
Determinación de Áreas de Concentración Económica Rural (ACER) mediante análisis espacial para la conformación del marco del Censo Económico colombiano
Authors: García Vélez Gustavo Adolfo , Durán Gil Carlos Alberto
Published: March 2023

Treinta años han pasado desde la realización del único censo económico en Colombia, y para el desarrollo de un nuevo operativo censal, se hace necesario contar con un marco estadístico que garantice el cubrimiento de las unidades económicas del país.  Teniendo en cuenta que las zonas rurales presentan características particulares respecto a la localización y proximidad de la actividad económica, lo que puede impactar los costos y tiempos del operativo censal, se planteó una metodología de alcance exploratorio y descriptivo, soportada por el uso de fuentes diversas, y la aplicación de técnicas de análisis espacial, con el fin de determinar las Áreas de Concentración Económica Rural (ACER), fundamentadas en la localización, proximidad y aglomeración de las unidades económicas.  De esta manera, se logró la estructuración de 5.537 ACER ubicadas en el 80% de las divisiones de segundo nivel territorial, con tendencia central en su mediana de cinco establecimientos y una superficie de 15,6 hectáreas.  Aunque no se tienen referentes similares de este tipo, la determinación de estas áreas se basó en obtener consistencia temática y geográfica, a partir de las fuentes empleadas, y la configuración de aglomeraciones espaciales.  Ahora bien, al ser un método de alcance exploratorio, está abierto a mejoras y retroalimentación continua, buscando ser un referente en la conformación de marcos estadísticos.

Parents with Different Mother-Tongue and its Effect on their Children’s Language Identity
Authors: Vicencio Christina Dionisio
Published: March 2023

This research aims to examine the effects of parents with different mother-tongue on their children’s language identity since the native language is very important in every individual because a child’s first language is part of the social, personal, and cultural identity. The participants were 10 pairs of parents with different native languages. The participants are chosen based on a criterion that male participants must have the same native languages and female participants must have different native languages. Every male participant in this study has the same Tagalog language, while the female participants have different languages, namely Bisaya and Bicolano. The researcher used qualitative and quantitative research methods consisting of questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that if parents want to teach their children to learn both native languages, the one-parent-one language approach is the best practice because it is easier to implement and use. The research shows that parent often finds ways to motivate his/her children to use the native language he/she had; it also reveals that somehow, parents are still providing and using some ways or techniques and exerting efforts to these techniques to promote their native language to their children. This study would exemplify the possible factors affecting having a parent with different native languages to the language identity of their children.
Identification of grape berry indigenous epiphytic yeasts with in vitro and in vivo antagonistic activity towards pathogenic fungi
Authors: Ayogu Peter , Teixeira António , Gerós Hernâni , Martins Viviana
Published: March 2023

During their lifespan, grapes are exposed to conditions that can endanger plant health, including fluctuating climate and infection by pests and insects. In particular, attacks by filamentous fungi represent huge annual losses for grape farmers. Present concerns about rising antimicrobial resistance, fungicide prohibitions and shifting consumer tastes are driving the search for less harmful ways of preventing damage to grapevine by pathogenic fungi. In this study, the antagonist activity of yeasts isolated from grape berry surface microbiota was assessed by in vitro and in vivo assays on an assortment of grapevine fungal pathogens, including Botrytis cinerea and Aspergillus niger. The results show that W. anomalus, A. pullulans, C. intermedia, R. glutinis, Z. meyerae and H. takashimae were able to inhibit by 75 to 100 % mycelia growth and sporulation of the filamentous fungi in vitro. Strains of M. pulcherrima and S. bacillaris also showed 50 to 75 % efficacy in reducing mould growth. The strains were further assessed on incised leaves of 2-month-old grapevines for their ability to reduce disease incidence by the filamentous fungi. W. anomalus, A. pullulans, M. pulcherrima, C. intermedia and R. glutinis significantly reduced infection symptoms in the leaves, indicating their potential as effective biocontrol yeasts in the vineyard.
Kedudukan Notaris Sebagai Turut Serta Dalam Tindak Pidana Korupsi
Authors: Pratiwi Ayu
Published: March 2023

The modus operandi of corruption can be carried out in various ways so that the crimes committed can run smoothly, one of which involves a position that has certain authority, namely the Position of Notary. The final product of a notary is an authentic deed regarding legal actions, agreements, stipulations and legal events. A notary deed can be in the form of a partij deed or a relaas deed, in this case the notary is not a party to the deed, the function of the notary is only to formulate the will of the parties into the deed in accordance with the applicable provisions. Based on these problems, this research method is normative or doctrinal, the object of which is statutory regulations with a case and doctrine approach, then the primary legal materials are statutory regulations and secondary legal materials are books and journals. The results of this research are: it is inappropriate to label thethe notary's position as participant in the criminal act of corruption along with the deed that they made since the notary is not a party to the said deed and the making of the notary deed is only based on formal truth and the cause of the notary being in the vortex of corruption cases is the discrimination of notaries and the lack of knowledge of notary law by the law enforcement officials. The author's suggestion is that the authority of a Notary should be expanded like a judge in digging up material truth in the trial of a case.
Standar Mitigasi Bagi Notaris Dalam Menerima Dan Mempertanggungjawabkan Kebenaran Dokumen Serta Keterangan Para Pihak
Authors: Adrian Selayar Tania Issabelle
Published: March 2023

Supporting documents and statements of applicants are the basis for a Notary in making an authentic deed. However, it is not uncommon for the documents and information provided by the applicants to be incorrect or can be categorized as fake. Therefore, Notaries must be careful in receiving documents and statements from applicants by applying mitigation standards. The formulation of the problem in this study is what is the form of mitigation standards for a Notary in receiving documents and statements from the parties to be used as the basis for the deed, and how is the responsibility of the Notary for the correctness of the documents and statements of the parties as the basis for the deed. This is an empirical legal research conducted with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the research and discussion conclude that the standard form of mitigation for a notary in receiving supporting documents for a deed is, first, the notary checks all supporting documents. Second, the Notary needs to check the legal actions to be included in the deed. Third, a notary who finds fake documents before the process of making the deed can refuse the appearer to draw up the desired deed. Fourth, the Notary can provide its own characteristics in making the deed as long as it does not conflict with laws and regulations. In addition, it was also found that the Notary is not responsible for fake documents and statements as long as the Notary can prove that the Notary did not participate in falsifying the deed.

The implementation of e-GMS in Indonesia poses a heated debate in the notarial service sector as there are regulations that are not in line with Regulation of Financial Services Authority (POJK) and Notary Position Law (UUJN) and in ensuring legal certainty regarding this matter. Therefore the researcher formulates 2 (two) formulations of the problem regarding how is the legal certainty of the e-GMS deed made by a Notary? and what is the mechanism for an electronic general meeting of shareholders in a public company? The research method used is normative with library research. Research results The implementation of the e-GMS has not been explicitly regulated in the UUJN after the birth of the two POJK, the mechanism for implementing the e-GMS has sufficient legal basis, since the two POJK have regulated the substance of the e-GMS
Is the Tendency to Maximise Energy Distribution an Optimal Collective Activity for Biological Purposes? A Proposal for a Global Principle of Biological Organization
Authors: Perez Velazquez Jose Luis , Diego Mateos , Guevara Erra Ramon
Published: March 2023

Our purpose is to address the biological problem of finding foundations of the organization in the collective activity among cell networks in the nervous system, at the meso/macroscale, giving rise to cognition and consciousness. But in doing so, we encounter another problem related to the interpretation of methods to assess the neural interactions and organization of the neurodynamics, because thermodynamic notions, which have precise meaning only under specific conditions, have been widely employed in these studies. The consequence is that apparently contradictory results appear in the literature, but these contradictions diminish upon the considerations of the specific circumstances of each experiment. After clarifying some of these controversial points and surveying some experimental results, we propose that a necessary condition for cognition/consciousness to emerge is to have available enough energy, or cellular activity; and a sufficient condition is the multiplicity of configurations in which cell networks can communicate, resulting in non-uniform energy distribution, the generation and dissipation of energy gradients due to the constant activity. These ideas may reveal possible fundamental principles of brain organization and how healthy activity may derive to pathological states.
The Cyclic Universe, the Big Bang Was Not the Beginning, but a Repeating Pattern of Expansion and Contraction of the Space-Time

The cyclic universe theory is a model of cosmic evolution according to which the universe undergoes endless cycles of expansion and cooling, each beginning with a “big bang” and ending in a “big crunch”. In this paper we propose a unique property of Space-time, this particular and marvelous nature of space shows us that space can stretch, expand, and shrink. This property of space is caused the size of the Universe changed over time: growing or shrinking. The observed accelerated expansion, which relates the stretching of Shrunk space for the new theory, is derived. This theory is based on three underlying notions: First, the big bang is not the beginning of space or time, but rather at the very beginning fraction of a second there was an infinite pressure of infinite Shrunk space in the cosmic singularity, that pressure gave rise to the big bang, and caused the rapidly growing of space, and all other forms of energy are transformed into new matter and radiation and a new period of expansion and cooling begins. Second, there was a previous phase leading up to it, with multiple cycles of contraction and expansion that repeat indefinitely. Third, the two principal long range forces are the gravitational force and the pressure of shrink space. They are the two most fundamental quantities in the universe that govern cosmic evolution. They may provide the clockwork mechanism that operates our eternal cyclic universe. The universe will not continue to expand forever, no need however, for dark energy and dark matter. This new model of Space-time and its unique properties enables us to describe a sequence of events from the Big Bang to the Big Crunch.

Authors: Wagh Rajesh V. , Priyadarshi Ruchir , Rhim Jong-Whan
Published: March 2023

Research and development on innovative packaging materials have advanced significantly to safeguard packaged food against microbial contamination and oxidation. To combat demanding issues, active packaging has evolved as a viable method for minimizing oxidation/microbial growth in packaged goods, extending their shelf life, and ensuring the consumer's safety. Active food packaging includes O2, CO2 scavengers, moisture absorbers, U.V. barriers, and carriers of antioxidant and antimicrobial agents. Various antimicrobial agents are carried and/or incorporated into food packaging formulations. Consumers demand natural antimicrobials over chemical/synthetic ones, such as bacteriocins, bacteriophages, and essential oils. Bacteriophages (viruses) have emerged as a feasible option for decontaminating and eliminating infections from food sources. These viruses can target specific food-borne pathogens without impairing beneficial bacteria and, most critically, without causing disease in humans or animals. Fortifying bacteriophages into food packaging films will not only kill specific food microorganisms but has evolved as a new weapon to combat antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) issues. The present review summarises recent developments in active antimicrobial packaging focused particularly on bacteriophage-food packaging applications and advantages, drawbacks, and future trends for active food packaging.

Corals are an important habitat for a diverse fauna which is especially rich in branching species. Each colony harbors several species and dozens of individuals forming an integrated symbiotic community. Factors affecting the diversity and abundance of coral symbionts are poorly understood. The present study tested experimentally the relationship between the population density of coral Pocillopora verrucosa and the diversity and abundance of symbionts in planted coral fragments exposed during three months. Colony size and bleaching were also considered as two additional factors. We demonstrated that even at the early stage of the colonies’ formation, the diversity of obligate symbiontson on these corals was higher than in any other studied local faunas of the World Ocean.Species richness and abundance of symbionts were positively related to colony size and density, while no impact of bleaching was found. Species richness and abundance of obligate symbionts increased along with the host population density, while in facultative symbionts, these indexes decreased. We hypothesized that the negative effect of the host density on species richness and abundance of facultative symbionts is caused by the competitive pressure of obligates, which increases with their abundance. Reasons for the different responses of obligate and facultative symbionts to host density were considered.

Streets are an essential element of urban safety governance and urban design, but they are designed with little regard for possible gender differences. This study proposes a safety perception evaluation method from the female perspective based on street view images (SVIs) and mobile phone data, taking the central city of Guangzhou as an example. The method relies on crowdsourced data and uses a machine learning model to predict the safety perception map. It combines the simulation of women's walking commuting paths to analyse the areas that need to be prioritised for improvement. Multiple linear regression was used to explain the relationship between safety perception and visual elements. The results showed the following: 1) There were differences in safety perceptions across genders. Women gave overall lower safety scores and more dispersed distribution of scores. 2) Approximately 11% of the streets in the study area showed weak perceived safety, and approximately 3% of these streets have high pedestrian flows and require priority improvements. 3) Safe visual elements in SVIs included the existence of roads, sidewalks, cars, railways, people, skyscrapers, and trees. Our findings can help urban designers determine how to evaluate urban safety and where to optimise key areas. Both have practical implications for urban planners seeking to create urban environments that promote greater safety.

Background: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) diagnosis have become a challenge for primary care physicians in areas where zika virus and/or dengue virus are present. Case definitions for the three arboviral infections are overlapping. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was carried out. A bivariate analysis was made using confirmed CHIKV infection as the outcome. Variables with significant statistical association were included in an agreement consensus. Agreed variables were analyzed in multiple regression model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated to determine a cut-off value and performance. Results: 295 patients with confirmed CHIKV infection were included. A screening tool was made using symmetric arthritis (4 points), fatigue (3 points), rash (2 points) and ankle joint pain (1 point). The ROC curve identified a cut-off value and a score ≥ 5.5 was considered positive to identify CHIKV patients with a sensibility of 64.4% and a specificity of 87.4%, positive predictive value of 85.5%, negative predictive value of 67.7%, area under the curve of 0.72, and an accuracy of 75%. Conclusion: We developed a screening tool for CHIKV diagnosis using only clinical symptoms as well as proposed an algorithm to aid the primary care physician.
Brief History of Thermodynamic Research on Microorganisms
Authors: Popovic Marko
Published: March 2023

Pathogen-host interaction (virus-host, bacteria-host and fungi-host) is analyzed from the perspective of biothermodynamics. A mechanistic model of pathogen-host interactions, which was earlier applied to virus-host interactions, was applied for the first time to bacteria-host and fungi-host interactions. Through a mechanistic model suggested in this research, it is possible to explain the phenomenon of tropism of microorganisms to develop infections in certain tissues. Gibbs energy of biosynthesis represents the driving force for growth of bacteria inside host organisms. A growing bacterial colony represents a thermodynamic system, while the host organism is its surroundings. The permissiveness coefficient determines the possibility of growth of bacteria in an appropriate environment (tissue).

In this unprecedented era of computer-supported and distance learning, it is critical to rethink the way students are supported through vital skills like self-regulation and peer collaboration. A variety of digital media has emerged, allowing learners autonomy while requiring the ability to effectively regulate different components of the educational process for long-term academic success. We reviewed collaboration, communication, and self-regulation in digital learning environments as part of online learning. We discussed how these abilities are reflected in highly cited content. High-impact factor studies were identified using advanced software Herzing Publish or Perish to retrieve highly cited research publications metrics. The search resulted in 272 records from 2010 to 2022, 192 duplicates were identified to remove and 48 JCR articles were shortlisted for review. We examined and reflected on sufficient connections to make firm judgments about correlations of concepts. The review identified prominent themes surfaced in the high impact factor academic publication e.g., digital learning environment, interaction, engagement, feedback, self-efﬁcacy, motivation, meta-cognition, achievement, technology, blended learning, and orientation of ICT. Many studies support different features of SRL & PCL through different tools, access to educators or feedback, encouragement, and through peers. However, all of them discuss the processes that students use to self-regulate learning in these situations. It is suggested to examine whether the effectiveness of certain SRL processes varies by online learning mode.
