Kontrasty między Polakami a Ukraińcami w Warszawie – analiza korpusowa przekazów medialnych Gazety Wyborczej w latach 2015-2019
Authors: Skibińska Anna
Published: April 2023

W artykule przedstawiono analizę korpusową przekazów medialnych o imigrantach z Ukrainy przebywających w Warszawie. Celem badania było porównanie opisu ukraińskich imigrantów w nagłówkach prasowych i w dalszej części tekstów, zidentyfikowanie słów kluczowych, słów o najwyższej frekwencji oraz najpopularniejszych kolokacji. Do badań wykorzystano aplikację webową korpusomat. Wyniki potwierdzają, że wizerunek Ukraińców budowany jest na zasadzie opozycji między „swoim” (Polakiem) a „obcym” (Ukraińcem). Zgromadzone dane ilościowe dla nagłówków i tekstów były podobne. Tematyka dotyczyła głównie pracy imigrantów. Ważną rolę w przekazie medialnym odgrywały lematy lokalizujące miejsca wydarzeń oraz określające narodowość ich uczestników.
Tradition et modernité chez Neil Gaiman : le cas de American Gods et Good Omens
Authors: Taquet David
Published: April 2023

Articulant les romans American Gods (2001) de Neil Gaiman, et Good Omens (1990), qu’il a écrit en collaboration avec Terry Pratchett, les contrastes entre tradition et modernité se déclarent à plusieurs niveaux : la relation entre les divinités et les avancées technologiques, la préservation des valeurs traditionnelles dans le cadre idyllique d’une petite ville, ainsi que la volonté de Neil Gaiman de moderniser les œuvres originales pour les adapter aux valeurs sociétales actuelles. Ces contrastes manifestes trouvent parfois une résolution pacifique, offrant aux lecteurs une synthèse bienvenue qui encourage l’acceptation de la modernité malgré les sacrifices nécessaires.
Myszy przeciw łasicom, ludziom i żabom. O funkcji kontrastu w przedstawieniu przeciwników i kreowaniu akcji w Batrachomyomachii
Authors: Zbądzki Jakub
Published: April 2023

Celem pracy jest przedstawienie, w jaki sposób autor Batrachomyomachii wykorzystał w poemacie kontrast do zilustrowania różnic między stronami walki (odwołując się jednocześnie do innych stworzeń), które prowadzą bezpośrednio do wojny. Zauważono, że kontrast między nimi posłużył jako casus belli: różnice leżą u podstaw uprzedzeń i to one decydują o uznaniu wypadku za celowy atak na myszy. Wykazano także źródła humoru oparte na kontrastach: interteksty parodiujące greckie eposy czy mity oraz konstrukcję wyliczenia przeciwników, w którym żaby przejmują negatywne cechy zwyczajowych mysich wrogów
Obraz postaci historycznych w trylogii rewolucyjnej Teodora Jeske-Choińskiego (na przykładzie Camille’a Desmoulinsa, Georgesa Dantona i Maximiliena Robespierre’a)
Authors: Sojak Małgorzata
Published: April 2023

W rewolucyjnej trylogii Jeske-Choiński wykorzystuje postaci historyczne, aby przedstawić okrucieństwa wydarzeń końca XVIII wieku we Francji. Z tego powodu fikcyjni bohaterowie stają się tłem dla poczynań bohaterów historycznych, których sylwetki z kolei przedstawia autor przez sugerowanie ich oceny moralnej. Choć wydaje się, że to spójny obraz – bohaterowie są równie okrutni jak świat, w którym żyją – budzi on niepokój czytelnika w obliczu kontrastu między faktami historycznymi a bohaterami powieści. W pracy porównane zostaną stworzone przez Jeske-Choińskiego kreacje postaci historycznych z ich rzeczywistymi odpowiednikami, opisywanymi przez historyków.
Les contrastes dans le roman populaire à l’exemple des Trois mousquetaires et du Comte de Monte-Cristo d’Alexandre Dumas
Authors: Lesiak Weronika
Published: April 2023

L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser le roman populaire et la manière dont il utilise des éléments contrastants. Nous examinerons deux romans d’Alexandre Dumas, Les Trois Mousquetaires et Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, afin de tenter d’expliquer la tendance susmentionnée et de fournir des exemples illustratifs. Dans la première partie du texte, nous nous concentrerons sur les caractéristiques du genre dans son ensemble. Nous passerons ensuite à l’analyse des Trois mousquetaires dans le contexte des éléments contrastés présents dans ce roman. On peut distinguer trois séries d’oppositions fondamentales dans ce roman : celle entre le cardinal et la reine, entre les personnages titres et leur compagnon d’Artagnan, et enfin celle entre les principaux personnages féminins, Constance et Milady. Après avoir analysé le premier des romans que nous avons choisis, nous examinerons Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. Nous attirerons l’attention sur ses contrastes les plus caractéristiques, dont l’opposition entre les deux incarnations du protagoniste : Edmond Dantès et le comte de Monte-Cristo. En résumé, les deux romans représentent bien la tendance à utiliser les contrastes comme moyen d’esquisser la caractérisation. La structure du roman populaire, qui repose sur le principe que le bien doit triompher et le mal être puni, est donc un exemple type de l’utilisation des contraires.

Authors: Danacı Esra , Aydın Kübra , Koç Zeliha
Published: April 2023

This research was carried out as a descriptive study to determine the individual innovativeness characteristics of nurses. The research was carried out with the participation of 165 nurses among a total of 459 nurses working in a university hospital. The data were collected by using a 21-question information form, which determines the socio-demographic and work-life characteristics of nurses and was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature, and the Individual Innovativeness Scale. The Individual Innovativeness Scale consisting of 3 subscales and 18 items that are ranked on a five-point Likert-type scale was used for the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using statistical programs. It was determined that the total score of the Individual Innovativeness Scale differed statistically according to the sociodemographic and work-life characteristics of the nurses. It is recommended to motivate nurses to participate in scientific research, provide training on this subject, and provide sufficient time and resources to improve their innovative behaviors. 
Keywords: Individual innovativeness; innovation; nurse.
Komunikacja jako kultura uczestnictwa (w rynku). Zmiany w przestrzeni komunikacyjnej rynkowego otoczenia rolnictwa i producentów rolnych po akcesji Polski do UE
Authors: Trojanowski Paweł
Published: April 2023

W artykule omówiono problem pozyskiwania informacji niezbędnych do prowadzenia gospodarstw rolnych przez rolników, którzy są zorientowani na rynek. Omówiono specyfikę niektórych cech procesu określanego jako komunikowanie się z rynkiem: zależność między zapotrzebowaniem na informacje a skalą produkcji, elastyczność w doborze źródeł informacji, uwarunkowania wymiany informacji przez czynniki kulturowe komunikujących się podmiotów. W przypadku rolników można powiedzieć, że kontekst zbierania informacji potrzebnych do komunikacji z rynkiem jest uwarunkowany zarówno dążeniem do optymalizacji i efektywności, jak i potrzebą utrzymania tradycyjnych relacji społecznych. Co staje się zrozumiałe, jeśli pamięta się, że polskie gospodarstwa rolne nie są jednostkami czysto produkcyjnymi. Łączą one raczej funkcję produkcyjną z cechami tradycyjnego przedsiębiorstwa rodzinnego, osadzonego w realiach społecznych wsi polskiej.

Karakteristik hidrologi daerah aliran sungai (DAS) berperan penting dalam mendukung ketersediaan air dan mencegah terjadinya banjir dan kekeringan.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik hidrologi DAS Ilahan.  Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan pengambilan sampel tanah, peta tutupan lahan, peta lereng, data iklim, dan debit air DAS Ilahan.  Data yang terkumpul kemudian diolah menggunakan pemodelan SWAT (Soil Water Assesment Tools) untuk menganalisis karakteristik hidrologi, meliputi: surface runoff, lateral flow/sub surface runoff, baseflow dan mensimulasi skenario tutupan lahan terhadap karakteristik hidrologi di DAS Ilahan.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan karakteristik hidrologi DAS Ilahan: surface runoff sebesar 379,30 mm; sub surface runoff sebesar 707,05 mm; baseflow sebesar 348,01 mm.  Skenario tutupan lahan menggunakan RTK-RHL tahun 2014-2029 seluas 430,57 ha, dengan merubah tutupan lahan menjadi kebun campuran kerapatan tinggi.  Hasil skenarionya diprediksi merubah karakteristik hidrologi DAS Ilahan yaitu surface runoff menurun menjadi 291,12 mm; lateral flow/sub surface runoff meningkat menjadi 759,34 mm; dan baseflow meningkat menjadi 377,86 mm.  Perubahan tutupan lahan dengan skenario RTK-RHL menyebabkan karakteristik hidrologi DAS Ilahan menjadi lebih baik dari kondisi eksisting. Namun kondisi ini belum optimal memperbaiki karakteristik hidrologi DAS Ilahan, sehingga direkomendasikan dilakukan pemutakhiran RTK-RHL di DAS Ilahan.

Validation of gridded precipitation products (GPP) increases the users’ confidence and highlights possible improvements in the algorithms to handle complex rain-forming processes. We evaluated the skill of three GGPs (CHIRPS-v2, CHELSA, and TerraClimate) in estimating the rain gauge observations and compared the precipitation trends derived from these products across the East and Southern Africa (ESA) region. We used Taylor diagrams and Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) to assess the accuracy. A modified Mann-Kendal test and a Sen’s slope estimator were utilized to determine the trends’ significance and magnitude, respectively. The three GPPs had varied performance over temporal and altitudinal ranges. The skill of the three GPPs, at a monthly scale, was generally high but showed lower performance at elevations over 1500 masl, especially during the October-November-December (OND) season. The three GPPs performed equally well between the 1001 – 1500 masl elevation range. CHELSA-v2.1 was most accurate at 0-500 masl but had the lowest skill in both 501 – 1000 and above 1500 masl elevations, which caused over-estimation of the annual and seasonal precipitation trends over mountainous terrain and large inland water bodies. The quantified precipitation trends revealed high spatial-temporal variability. Generally, the skill and precipitation trends derived from CHIRPS-v2 and TC data showed substantial convergence except in Tanzania. Our results emphasize the importance of validating climate datasets to avoid error propagation in different models and applications. Moreover, we demonstrate that new or higher-resolution precipitation data are not always accurate since an algorithm update can introduce artifacts or biases.

Published: April 2023

The Surface Urban Heat Island (UHI) is caused by the difference in temperature between the urban and its surrounding areas. However, in the scientific literature, there is no solid methodology defining urban and non-urban areas, which is essential to estimate the SUHI with greater accuracy. This study uses the official national urban areas limit, to obtain the SUHI more accurately on the nine northeastern Brazilian capitals. The land surface temperature was obtained using the Sentinel 3 satellite data for the years 2019 and 2020. Afterward, the maximum and average SUHI, and the complementary indexes were calculated, such as the Urban Thermal Field Variation Index (UTFVI) and the Thermal Discomfort Index (TDI) for the urban areas and their surrounding areas. The Maximum and Average SUHI, obtained values between 1.85 and 8.25 and -4.92 and 2.59 degree difference, respectively, proving the SUHI existence in the study areas. The UTFVI, with values between 0.010 and 0.040, expresses how bad the eco-environmental spaces of urban are. The TDI, with values between 24.61 and 28.89 ºC, expresses the population’s thermal comfort. Therefore, this study provides a better understanding of the surface UHI pioneeringly for the Brazilian Northeast Region.

This study evaluated the microbiological quality of farm oysters, cultivated in an estuary in northeastern Pará, Brazil, before and after purification process. Water and oyster samples were collected in June, August, October, and December 2019. Oysters underwent purification for up to 36 h in a small-scale adapted debugger. Microbiological analyses were performed in oysters and water depuration collected at different times of purification (0 h pre-treatment, 6 h, 12 h, 2 4h, and 36 h), using the multiple tube technique, to determine the most probable number (MPN) of Escherichia coli, thermotolerant coliforms - TTC, and total coliforms - TC. Bacterial isolation was used to determine the presence of Salmonella spp. Before purification, oysters had E. coli counts above the limit allowed by Brazilian legislation (≤ 230 MPN/100g). High TTC, and TC counts were observed in all the months of the study, and Salmonella spp. was present in August. All water samples were contaminated by TTC beyond the level allowed (> 43 MPN/100mL) in two months. The purification process of 36 h was effective in reducing the load of E. coli, TTC, and TC and eliminating Salmonella spp. in oysters.

Published: April 2023

For Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) youth transitioning from child to adult services, protocols that guide the transition process are necessary. While some guidelines are available, they do not always consider effective workload and scarce resources. In Italy, there are currently very few guidelines available, and they do not adhere to common standards, possibly leading to a non-uniform use. The present study analyzes 6 protocols collected from different services for ADHD patients that took part in the TransiDEA (Transitioning in Diabetes, Epilepsy, and ADHD patients) Project. Their content is described in parallel to the National Institute for Clinical Health and Excellence (NICE) guidelines. While there are some strong points and several common core elements, a need emerges to standardize practices and to make them more adherent to patients’ needs and to the resources available to clinicians.

Published: April 2023

Gap junctions (GJs) made of connexin-43 (Cx43) are important for the conduction of electrical impulses in the heart. Modulation of Cx43 activity may be useful in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and other dysfunctions. Search of novel GJ modulating agents using molecular docking approach allows to predict the binding affinities that often significantly differ from experimentally estimated their potencies. The objective of this study was to demonstrate that Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) model could be used for more precise identification of potent Cx43 GJ inhibitors. Using the QSAR model and molecular docking, we evaluated the known Cx43 GJ inhibitors, suggested a new one, and tested it experimentally. Our QSAR model predicted the concentrations required to produce 50% of the maximal effect (IC50) for each of these compounds and estimated the correlation between predicted and experimental IC50ies (pIC50 and eIC50). This led to suggestion of monocyclic monoterpene d-limonene as putative Cx43 inhibitor with pIC50 = 1.07. In turn, dual whole-cell patch-clamp measurements provided eIC50=1.41. The pIC50ies of d-limonene and other Cx43 GJ inhibitors examined by our QSAR model well correlated with their eIC50ies (R = 0.88) in contrast to pIC50s obtained from molecular docking (R = 0.42). However, the molecular docking suggested that inhibitor potency may depend on their docking sites on Cx43.

Published: April 2023

Studies outside of cognitive aspects, especially on psychological and affective factors, still have limited findings. These two issues contribute greatly to the success of EFL learning. This study aims to identify the level of eustress-distress, anxiety-self-efficacy, and comparisons between these variables on the learning performance of nursing students. This study uses a mixed method, a comparative study using closed and open questionnaires, and an English language proficiency test (EAP reading test) for 95 nursing students in the program of English for Academic Purposes (EAP). Certainly, the analysis uses correlation and comparison tests through PLS-SEM and qualitative analysis of open questionnaires. The results showed that level of eustress-distress, and anxiety-self-efficacy of students were quite satisfactory. This means that students can adapt positive reactions to learning pressure, are more enthusiastic, and develop good self-confidence. Distress has no impact on self-efficacy and learning performance, but distress has a strong effect on eustress. There is a strong impact and correlation between anxiety on self-efficacy and self-efficacy on learning performance. So self-efficacy shows a strong moderating variable to bridge anxiety and learning performance. Qualitative findings also show that there are internal and external factors for the growth of eustress and self-efficacy. Further recommendations on these findings are also presented at the end of this study.

Authors: Wahid Abdul
Published: April 2023

The criminal justice system has an orientation to involve various components to prevent the occurrence of criminal acts. In the practice of criminal law, the idea of ​​restorative justice has emerged in the practice of law in Indonesia. This study aims to initiate the regulation of restorative justice in the Criminal Procedure Code as part of the criminal justice system's development. This research is normative legal research oriented to the study and analysis of positive law. This study examines the legal issue, namely the legal vacuum in the regulation of restorative justice in the Criminal Procedure Code. The study results confirm that restorative justice is part of the criminal justice system, especially in the aspect of the criminal justice system process, which effectively and efficiently strengthens the orientation of the legal process effectively and efficiently in criminal law enforcement. In this context, restorative justice is part of the development of legal theory and practice and an effort to revive the value of local wisdom in Indonesian criminal law. The Ius constituendum or future arrangements related to restorative justice in the Criminal Procedure Code need to be carried out so that the Criminal Procedure Code can guide the implementation of formal law in Indonesia that has Indonesian aspirations, especially with the application of restorative justice in practice as well as the pouring of restorative justice in the Criminal Procedure Code which is essential to ensure legal certainty as well as provide a dimension of harmony for restorative justice arrangements

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to assess the compliance of the decision made by the Kepanjen District Court Number 1 /Pid.Sus-Child/2020/Pn Kpn with the provisions of criminal law book of article 49 paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, which govern forced defense as a means of self-defense. Using the normative method, the study examined legal literature to establish the truth of the matter. The study found that a forced defense must adhere to the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity to be considered legitimate. The conclusion drawn from this study is that the decision of the Kepanjen District Court must be evaluated based on these two requirements to establish the legal truth of the matter.

Highlights:

Proportional and subsidiarity requirements are essential for a forced defense to be considered legitimate.

Excessive actions that go beyond the threat faced may not be considered a forced defense.

The actions of the victim must be considered in evaluating the legitimacy of a forced defense.

A full-scale airfield pavement test section was constructed and trafficked by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center to determine minimum rigid and flexible pavement thickness requirements to support contingency operations of the P-8 Poseidon aircraft. Additionally, airfield damage repair solutions were tested to evaluate the compatibility of those solutions with the P-8 Poseidon. The test items consisted of various material thickness and strengths to yield a range of operations to failure allowing development of performance predictions at a relatively lower number of design operations than are considered in traditional sustainment pavement design scenarios. Test items were trafficked with a dual-wheel P-8 test gear on a heavy-vehicle simulator. Flexible pavement rutting, rigid pavement cracking and spalling, instrumentation response, and falling-weight deflectometer data were monitored at select traffic intervals. The results of the trafficking tests indicated that existing design predictions were generally overconservative. Thus, minimum pavement layer thickness recommendations were made to support a minimum level of contingency operations. The results of full-scale flexible pavement experiment were utilized to support an analytical modeling effort to extend flexible pavement thickness recommendations beyond those evaluated.
Knowledge Guided Multi-filter Residual Convolutional Neural Network for ICD Coding from Clinical Text
Authors: Boukhers Zeyd , Goswami Prantik , Jürjens Jan
Published: April 2023

One challenge often encountered when using Deep Neural Network models for automatic ICD coding is their potential inability to effectively handle unseen clinical texts, especially when these models are only trained on a limited number of examples. This is because these models rely solely on the patterns and relationships present in the training data, and may not be able to effectively incorporate additional knowledge about the relationships between medical entities. To address this issue, we introduce KG-MultiResCNN - Knowledge Guided Multi-filter Residual Convolutional Neural Network model, which combines training examples with external knowledge from the Wikidata Knowledge Graph (KG) in order to better capture the relationships between medical entities. The KG is a structured database that contains a wealth of information about various entities, including medical concepts and their relationships with one another. By incorporating this external knowledge into our model, we are able to improve its ability to predict ICD codes for new clinical texts. In our experiments with the MIMIC-III dataset, we found that the KG-MultiResCNN model significantly outperformed the baseline approaches. This demonstrates the effectiveness of using external knowledge, in addition to training examples, to improve the performance of deep learning models for automatic ICD coding.
Uniocular Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: An Unusual Case Report from Bangladesh
Authors: Iqbal Md Iftekher , Kabir Syed Jahangir
Published: April 2023

Purpose: To describe the case of a uniocular patient with advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and age-related cataract in the right eye and microphthalmic left eye.
Methods: A 73-year-old one-eyed man presented with four years of the painless, progressive dimness of vision in the right eye. The vision was 6/18 in the right eye, whereas the left eye had no light perception (NPL). In the left eye, severe ptosis and microphthalmos were detected, while the right eye had age-related cataracts, an open anterior chamber angle, intraocular pressure (IOP) of 30 mmHg, and progressive glaucomatous optic neuropathy.
The IOP was dropped to 22 mmHg after a topical Timolol maleate (0.5%), Brimonidine tartrate (0.2%), and Brinzolamide (1%). As the patient had mature cataract, advanced glaucomatous optic nerve damage, target IOP was not reached, and adherence issues with antiglaucoma medications, the decision was made to proceed with cataract extraction combined with augmented trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC).
Results: There were no intraoperative complications. Over one year, the IOP was maintained in the 12 - 14 mmHg range without antiglaucoma drugs (AGM).
Conclusion: In advanced glaucoma patients, combined phaco-trabeculectomy operations can considerably lower IOP and drug load or compliance concerns with antiglaucoma drugs. This case represented an efficient and safe surgical technique for uniocular advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), particularly in a developing country like Bangladesh.
Collapse of the Wavefunction Following Destructive Interference with a Macroscopic Measuring Device
Authors: Camparo James
Published: April 2023

Measurement in quantum mechanics is a long-standing issue, and the measurement problem consists of essentially two parts: 1) no matter what the initial wavefunction of an object, the result of a measurement always results in the observation of a single eigenstate (i.e., “wavefunction collapse”), and 2) once the wavefunction collapses it remains collapsed. Though there have been a number of proposed solutions to the measurement problem, none to date is without debate. Here we discuss a solution to the measurement problem that avoids some others’ difficulties. We assume that for every eigenvector of an operator there is a set of unique discrete phases, and that the phase sets among eigenvectors are disjoint. With this hypothesis it is possible to show that wavefunction collapse is a consequence of destructive interference when a quantum object interacts with the large set of “quantum-measurement mapping operators” that must comprise a classical measuring device.

Published: April 2023

The most important of such efforts is the Paris Climate Agreement signed in 2015 and the t’s Green Deal, implemented by the European Union (EU) within the framework of this Agreement. The targets stated in Grean Deal include measures affecting not only the EU countries but also third countries with which the EU has foreign trade links. For this purpose, ın this study, the carbon emission of Turkey, which has serious commercial relations with the EU, was tried to be estimated using machine learning techniques and an estimate was made for the year 2030 on the basis of the results obtained. These results were evaluated in line with the targets of the Green Deal. The R2 value of Support Vector Regression (SVR), which is applied in the model as one of the machine learning techniques, was found to be 98.4% and it was found to have the highest predictive power. This technicque is followed by Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) with a 97.6% success rate and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with 95.8% success rate, respectively. According to the estimates made with the most successful model, SVR, Turkey's carbon emissions are expected to be 723.97 million tons (mt) of CO2 in 2030, the target year set by the EU. This level is 42% more compared to the the target that needs be achieved given the data existing in 2019. In terms of the results obtained from the study, it is thought that the study could be an exemplary model for other countries that have commercial ties with the EU.
