ProPublica’s Data Journalism: How Multidisciplinary Teams and Hybrid Profiles Create Impactful Data Stories
Authors: De-Lima-Santos Mathias-Felipe
Published: January 2022

Despite growing interest in the emergence of technologies in journalistic practices, especially from the production perspective, there is still very little research on organizational structures and professional culture in relation to the deployment of these technologies. Drawing on six interviews and observation in staff meetings, this study aims to explore the nuances behind the professional roles of data journalists and how these relate to structural aspects of news organizations. The study focuses on the case of ProPublica, a news organization internationally renowned for its global excellence in data stories. This work considers boundary-making in the context of journalism and focuses on new professional roles in the news industry to produce a hybrid ethnography study based on qualitative data collected immediately before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the United States. The findings reveal the importance of hybrid profiles at ProPublica. While some journalists have had to expand their knowledge to learn more about new areas, such as coding and design, some non-journalistic professionals have had to develop writing skills, and this blurring of traditional boundaries forms an important aspect of ProPublica’s professional culture. The structure of the organization, divided into two teams engaged in cross-sector activities, helps to promote data skills and collaboration with other journalists, which also serves to mitigate any individual lack of experience on certain topics. The article concludes by suggesting that the growing importance of these new professional roles has broader implications for the development of data skills in the newsroom, and also discusses the limitations that can arise from the increasing overlap between journalistic and non-journalistic roles.
Experimental methods of pupillographic analysis based on high-speed video recording devices
Authors: Isaeva Oksana L. , Boronenko Marina P.
Published: January 2022

The prospects for using artificial intelligence in video analytics are becoming more and more undeniable. Researchers are actively working on methods for making decisions based on the results of automated analysis of the sequence of images received from video cameras. The purpose of our study was to develop a method for decision-making based on modeling a person's pupillary response to an information stimulus. A ZWO ASI120MC digital video camera was used for research. The studies carried out made it possible to reliably establish that the state of the optical system of the eye when viewing the calibration slide comes to a physical state common to all people. This made it possible to systematize the pupillograms, referring them to one of two categories (stress state is / is not). Having determined an individual threshold value during calibration, it becomes possible to quickly classify a person's emotional response to the received information impulse. Based on the developed methodology for systematizing the pupillary reaction to an information stimulus by categories, a decision tree for intelligent video surveillance systems was built. In addition to the size of the pupils, the algorithm takes into account the parameters of gaze fixation on stimulus images, the stability of the illumination of the surface of the pupils.
An examination of information technology diffusion and infusion
Authors:   , Eder Lauren B. , Arinze Orakwue Bay
Published: January 2022

In today's global business environment, knowledge is among the most valuable assets of a firm. Accordingly, the accessibility of relevant computer-based information can be extremely important. The growing number of variant computer systems within organizations presents a potential problem for information sharing and knowledge development if the systems are not inter-operable. In recent years, the open architecture of Internet technology has become attractive to business organizations for internal use because it enables the standardization of information system interfaces as well as the connectivity of disparate systems. When Internet technology is used within the bounds of an organization, the network is referred to as an intranet. Using intranets to connect heterogeneous systems provides a mechanism in which information sharing can be facilitated between existing information systems without major changes to the applications themselves. Because the use of intranet technology is a fairly new phenomenon, there is little, if any, empirical research to date that examines the success of intranet deployments in organizations once the technology has been adopted. Using theoretical foundations from established information systems implementation research and innovation diffusion literature, this study seeks to explain intranet implementation success by examining organizational, technical, and contextual factors that may be associated with intranet diffusion and infusion within organizations. A survey was mailed to 1,000 senior level computer executives in the United States. The organization was the unit of analysis. Seven independent variables were measured with intranet diffusion and infusion: top management support, organizational structure, organizational size, industry, competition, IT infrastructure, and IS structure. Results indicate that these variables affect diffusion and infusion differently. Top management support was found to be positively related to intranet diffusion, whereas top management support, IT infrastructure, and competition were found to be positively related to intranet infusion. Organizational size was negatively related to intranet infusion. Implications and areas for further research are discussed.

Incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection post-gynecological operations in a tertiary hospital in Egypt: a retrospective study
Authors: Goma Khaled , Gelany Saad El , Galal Ahmed Fawzy
Published: January 2022

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication of surgical procedures in gynecology and it poses a significant burden for both patients and healthcare systems. Our objective was determining the incidence and risk factors for SSI post-gynecological operations during the period of five years.Methods: A matched case-control study at Minia maternity university, Egypt where A total of 18772 cases had undergone different gynecological procedures. The 876 cases were complicated with SSI (SSI cases group) and 2 matched controls per case were chosen from the rest of the cases and served as the control group (n=1752 cases).Results: The overall incidence of SSI post-gynecological operations was 4.67% and post-hysterectomy was 7.57%. SSI group had a significantly higher number of cases with diabetes, obesity, high parity (>4), increased blood loss and those had prolonged duration of surgery compared to the control group (all p<0.01).Conclusions: The identified risk factors are crucial for risk stratification of SSI and prioritizing interventions to improve the outcome. These results could give a picture for SSI post-gynecological operations in our country and identifying these risk factors is crucial for risk stratification of SSI and prioritizing interventions to improve the outcome.

Estimates show that the prevalence of mandibular dental anterior crowding is high and might be up to 40%. The etiology of the condition has been multifactorial and evidence regarding the impact of mandibular third molars is still controversial. We discussed the potential role that impacted teeth (particularly mandibular third molars) might have in developing dental arch crowding. Evidence from different original studies and reviews regarding the impact of lower third molars on dental crowding was controversial. However, most of these studies showed that the correlation between these events was insignificant and additional studies might be needed for further validation. We have also identified many factors that can lead to dental arch crowding among the relevant studies in the literature. These factors might include general factors (including gender and age), skeletal factors (including malocclusion and growth of jaws) and dental factors (including primary tooth loss and tooth crown size), all of which were extensively discussed in the current study. Accordingly, further attention should also be paid to studying these factors.

Published: January 2022

Platelet analogues (PA; platelet rich plasma and platelet rich fibrin) are autologous bioactive compounds that have a wide range of medical and dental applications, including periodontal, maxillofacial, Plastic surgery and sports medicine. The aim of these technologies is to collect all the constituents of a patient's blood sample so that they can be used to promote tissue regeneration and improve healing. Since 1954, PA has come a long way. Periodontology and implant dentistry have both benefited from the use of PAs. However, the non-standard preparation technique, processing time, transfer of concentrates, centrifugation temperature, vibration, etc. are all variables that contribute to the various results described in the literature. This study will retrace the evolution of PAs, their preparation procedures, their clinical and technological characteristics and their uses.
Latent lip print: A comparative study of developers
Authors: Singh Shweta , Singh Anil , Sah Kunal , Singh Manjery
Published: January 2022

Identification of a person is of paramount importance in a medico-legal investigation. At present more and more people use protecting lipsticks and permanent lipsticks. With these lipsticks a latent lip print is generated by contact with a surface and, like with the latent fingerprints occur, this latent lip print can be developed.

This study aims to retrieve latent lip prints from various inanimate surfaces like thermocoal plate, bone china, and glass to compare the efficacy of developers i.e., fingerprint powder, Sudan III, Vermillion, and its comparison with standard lipstick prints. Current research assesses the effectiveness of particular surfaces in the retrieval of lip print in personnel identification.

This study included a total of 30 subjects. Latent lip print was developed on the different inanimate surfaces by pressing the lips against the different vehicles. After collecting samples, a camel hair brush was used to retrieve all three chemicals individually by simply tapping on all three surfaces. Application of chemicals was continued until the print became clearly visible for the study. Developed latent lip print was then compared with the visible lip print. Subsequently, a standard lipstick print was developed from the same subject. All the samples were coded and graded according to the patterns suggested in the literature.

Discrete (categorical) data were summarized in number and percentage and compared by chi-square (χ2) test. Analyses were performed on SPSS software (Windows version 17.0).

: The overall (i.e., total of all three surfaces) favourable outcome was found highest in Fingerprint powder (58.9%) followed by Sudan III (28.9%) and Vermilion (10.0%) the least (Vermilion < Sudan III < Fingerprint powder).Comparing the overall outcomes of three developers, χ2 test showed significantly different and higher favourable outcome in Fingerprint powder as compared to both Sudan III and Vermilion (χ2=92.09, p<0.001)

The study found Fingerprint powder the best developer and Thermocol plate the best surface. The findings of this study may be beneficial for investigators.
Employees’ Relational Work on Social Media
Authors: Lindell Eva , Crevani Lucia
Published: January 2022

Given how social media are commonly used in contemporary Nordic countries, social media platforms are emerging as crucial for relational work between employers, employees, and potential employees. By means of a discursive psychology approach, this study investigates employers’ constructs of relational work on social media through the use of two interpretative repertoires: the repertoire of loss of control and the repertoire of ever-presence. The consequences of these interpretative repertoires are a masking of power relations, especially between employers and young employees in precarious labor market positions and those with limited digital knowledge or financial means. Further, the positioning of social media as part of a private sphere of life means the invasion of not only employees’, but also managers’ private time and persona. The result of this study hence calls for the need to understand relational work on social media as part of normative managerial work.
A INDESTRUTIBILIDADE DO SER NA FILOSOFIA DE ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER
Authors: De Freitas Maria Valéria Da Silva
Published: January 2022

O presente texto traz uma breve abordagem sobre a morte e a questão da indestrutibilidade do Ser a partir de uma análise da obra O mundo como Vontade e Representação, do filósofo Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) e outros textos de apoio. Schopenhauer aborda a morte como natural, intrinsicamente ligada a vida, e que a mesma não é um mal para o homem e nem representa perigo para a espécie humana, por isso, não deveríamos temê-la, mas encará-la com serenidade, visto que a morte não é o fim absoluto, mas apenas o retorno do indivíduo para a natureza. O filósofo pontua que o Ser é indestrutível e que, após a morte, permanecerá presente por meio da vontade nos seres que continuam vivos. O que se perde com a morte é apenas a individualidade; a matéria, jamais a essência do Ser. Cada Ser que morre, nasce um novo em uma matéria diferente, porém com a mesma essência do que se fora, por isso o Ser em si, e por essência, não morre por ser indestrutível. Desta forma, o homem não pode viver sem pensar na morte, sendo necessário refletir sobre a finitude para viver o presente, sendo que é apenas no presente que a vontade se manifesta. Resumo: O presente texto traz uma breve abordagem sobre a morte e a questão da indestrutibilidade do Ser a partir de uma análise da obra O mundo como Vontade e Representação, do filósofo Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) e outros textos de apoio.

O PODER SOBERANO EM JEAN-JACQUES ROUSSEAU
Authors: Bezerra Marco Antônio Correa
Published: January 2022

A questão fundamental dessa investigação será mostrar quais bases sustentam a ideia do poder soberano no interior do chamado Estado Moderno e como nele se manifesta a relação com seus membros. Para alcançar esse objetivo pretendemos inicialmente mostrar a busca destas bases que o pensamento de Jean-Jacques Rousseau persegue desde o Discurso sobre as ciências e as artes (1749), passando pelo Discurso sobre a Origem e os Fundamentos da Desigualdade entre os Homens (1755) até alcançar sua formulação mais completa em Do Contrato Social (1762), considerado o estudo mais influente da vida intelectual do autor. Nesta última obra, a legitimidade do comportamento se torna necessária para organizar os integrantes da sociedade, tornando coeso o corpo político. Para isso, os cidadãos se submetem a uma lei inviolável, a qual será validada pelos próprios membros do Estado. Portanto, delegam seu poder particular em direção à vontade geral, sendo cada homem considerado parte do poder soberano do Estado.
A DÍVIDA DE POPPER PARA COM KANT: OS DOIS PROBLEMAS FUNDAMENTAIS DA TEORIA DO CONHECIMENTO
Authors: Gomes Paulo Uiris da Silva
Published: January 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre os dois problemas fundamentais da teoria do conhecimento: o problema da demarcação científica, ou problema de Kant; e o problema da indução, ou problema de Hume. O primeiro refere-se a questão acerca do critério da demarcação, isto é, que critério devemos usar para distinguir enunciados das ciências empíricas de afirmações metafísicas e pseudocientíficas. Popper afirma que Kant foi o primeiro a formular tal problema, e com ele, a demarcação científica tornou-se o problema central da teoria do conhecimento. Discutiremos a solução de Kant e de Popper para essa questão. O segundo problema fundamental da teoria do conhecimento é o problema da indução, que se refere a questão a respeito da validade ou justificação das inferências indutivas nas ciências empíricas. Popper atribui a Hume a autoria dessa indagação. Discutiremos a abordagem de Hume sobre o tema e a solução de Kant e Popper para o problema da indução.
VACILAÇÕES DE MISSUNGA: MIMESIS, INFAMILIAR E DUPLO NO ROMANCE MARAJÓ, DE DALCÍDIO JURANDIR
Authors: Pantoja da Silva Edilson
Published: January 2022

Marajó (1947) é o segundo dos dez romances que compõem a série Extremo Norte, escrita ao longo de quarenta anos pelo paraense Dalcídio Jurandir (1909-1979). Grosso modo, o romance apresenta tanto um vasto painel socioantropológico da Ilha de Marajó, com cenárioa partir da então vila de Ponta de Pedras, quanto um quadro das relações de poder entre gerações de ricos fazendeiros, de um lado, e a gente pobre, negra e mestiça, por eles subjugada e explorada, de outro. Assim, no presente artigo cuidaremos da trajetória do personagem Missunga, filho de Coronel Coutinho, até que assuma o lugar do pai na ordem hierárquica social. Tal trajetória nos permitirá pensá-la com o auxílio de conceitos como “mimesis originária” e “vacilação identificatória”, oriundos do pensamento de Adorno e Horkheimer, assim como o de “duplo” da psicanálise freudiana. Do mesmo modo, a trajetória e condição do proscrito Ciloca, o leproso, ensejará o uso de “infamiliar” e novamente de “duplo” para pensarmos, por outro lado, essa trajetória e condição como elemento de resistência e enfrentamento daquela mesma ordem.
O RISO GROTESCO E O RISO DE CHARIVARI NA SOCIEDADE HUMORÍSTICA: A PARÓDIA SOCIAL NO FILME “CORINGA”
Authors: Brasiliense dos Santos Brito Aline
Published: January 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise do riso no filme Coringa (Todd Phillips, 2019) enquanto paródia de elementos constituintes da sociedade atual, a qual incorpora uma sociedade humorística nos termos de Gilles Lipovetsky (2014) e onde os fenômenos do riso grotesco e dos Charivaris marcam presença sob formas reinventadas. Coringa apresenta diversos pontos de reflexão, dentre os quais, destacaremos o contexto social, onde a “leveza do humor” e o vínculo entre riso e violência prevalece. A atmosfera do humor é a ambientação geral da atual sociedade, onde tudo precisa ter “graça” (os acontecimentos sérios, a vida política, as catástrofes etc.), uma sociedade humorística (LIPOVETSKY, 2014). Lipovetsky (2014) caracteriza essa sociedade por um clima de “leveza” geral. Mostraremos, porém, que o riso comumentemente assume sua face violenta, ou sob sua forma menos recorrente, o grotesco, apreendido sob o signo da inquietude, estranheza. Sua natureza é de denúncia, de apreensão do real (BAUDELAIRE, 1998); ou sob a outra mais comum, o riso de Charivari, que é de natureza grupal, segregadora e excludente, um riso inscrito na “lógica simbólica do ruído” que tem suas origens na Idade Média (GAUVARD, 1974; MINOIS, 2003).
O PAPEL DA LINGUAGEM NA OBRA VERDADE E MÉTODO DE HANS-GEORG GADAMER
Authors: Barbosa Susan Karolaine Gonçalves Soares
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo pretende discorrer acerca do papel da linguagem, enquanto fenômeno ontológico, na hermenêutica filosófica promovida por Hans-Georg Gadamer. A temática é proposta a partir da discussão sobre em que medida a linguagem encontra-se conectada com a tradição, o questionamento que movimenta a intenção da pesquisa é conduzido com a intenção de reconhecer a correspondência entre linguagem e tradição. Deste modo, visa-se apresentar no âmbito da experiência hermenêutica a ligação entre os conceitos de linguagem e tradição que resulta no acontecer de uma verdade compreensiva. A partir da obra Verdade e Método (1960) a presente investigação abarca a concepção do autor no que tange o conceito da verdade como resultado do processo compreensivo e, o coloca em movimento ao não ser mais diretamente conectado ao âmbito científico. A verdade encontra-se, portanto, vinculada à linguagem, onde ganha novos horizontes.
DO PATHOS TRÁGICO A POSSIBLIDADE DE AKRASIA EM PLATÃO
Authors: Silva Glaucer Ferreira
Published: January 2022

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as disparidades existentes entre dois momentos fundamentais quanto à constituição da polis grega, a saber, o trágico e o ligado ao logos e à racionalidade, denominado período socrático/platônico. Primeiramente, lançaremos nosso olhar sobre o chamado período trágico da cultura helênica, buscando contemplar o homem enredado pelo pathos trágico e sua consequente idiossincrasia dionisíaca. Ainda no século V a.C. contemplaremos este que representa um dos principais pilares de sustentação da filosofia do período antropológico do pensamento grego: Platão. Contudo nos deteremos a alguns aspectos do socratismo tendo como ideia disparadora a possibilidade da akrasia. Deste modo entendemos que nos são apresentados dois modelos de homem: O ligado ao período trágico e o oferecido pela ética platônica guiado pelo logos. Utilizaremos como aporte teórico, a contribuição de helenistas como Jean-Pierre Vernant e Romilly, assim como o filósofo alemão Nietzsche. Quanto à contribuição platônica nos deteremos sobres os diálogos platônicos Laques, Protágoras e Górgias. Exatamente por sua importância quanto ao tema da akrasia nos diálogos da primeira fase platônica.
DO VAZIO DE PENSAMENTO À DEMOCRACIA ESPETACULAR: ANÁLISE DO IMPACTO POLÍTICO DAS FAKE NEWS NAS ELEIÇÕES PRESIDENCIAIS DE 2018
Authors: Luiz João Adail Camargo
Published: January 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é a analisar a utilização e impacto das fake news nos últimos anos da vida política brasileira enquanto propulsão ao esvaziamento do pensamento e uma zona de anomia entre democracia e totalitarismo que captura e sacraliza a vida biológica humana ao mesmo tempo que a abandona, reconhecida como estado de exceção permanente. Para tanto, abordamos as obras de Hannah Arendt e Giorgio Agamben, bem como analisamos fenomenologicamente algumas das fake news mais divulgadas entre a população brasileira no período das eleições presidenciais de 2018. Por fim, entendemos que a verdade factual, resguardada pelas humanidades e transmitida pela mídia é capaz de levar a população novamente à percepção da realidade e ao resgate do sentido da política pela ação.
PESSOAS EM SITUAÇÃO DE RUA NO BRASIL: A RELAÇÃO ENTRE O PODER ESTATAL E A (IM)POSSIBILIDADE DE ACESSO A DIREITOS
Authors: Santos Antonio Matheus Sardinha , Guimarães Sandra Suely Moreira Lurine
Published: January 2022

Este artigo discute, de forma interdisciplinar, como é possível, em um Estado Democrático de Direito, existir formas de vida expostas às mais diversas possibilidades de violações de direitos e garantias fundamentais, como as das pessoas em situação de rua no Brasil. O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar como se deu o início do problema das pessoas em situação de rua no país e como o Estado brasileiro enxerga a questão, e a partir disso refletir como o acesso a direitos impede que estes indivíduos detenham participação na sociedade. Assim, se tratará a hipótese de que as pessoas em situação de rua, do ponto de vista do Estado, por não habitarem o contexto político, econômico e social de forma efetiva não são tratados como seres sujeitos de direitos na ordem pública, o que legitima tomada de decisões que são, em parte, danosas a esta classe e cobertas por um véu falacioso de cuidado com este contingente populacional. Para sustentar e desenvolver este artigo foi utilizada uma metodologia de pesquisa que analisa como se deu a formação da questão no contexto sócio político brasileiro, bem como uma abordagem crítica das bases normativas instituídas em torno da problemática. Ainda, se utilizou das contribuições bibliográficas de autores que escrevem sobre: politização da vida, poder estatal e relações sociais, tais como Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben e Achille Mbembe.
FOUCAULT E A LIBERDADE NO ESTOICISMO TARDIO
Authors: E Santos Ana Lúcia dos Santos
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo visa analisar, a partir do pensamento do filósofo Michel Foucault, o exercício da liberdade sob uma perspectiva ética, no âmbito do estoicismo tardio. Liberdade essa que se faz possível a partir do cuidado de si, por meio de exercícios regulares que possibilitam ao indivíduo viver a vida como arte. Com efeito, é na prática do cuidado de si, que o indivíduo se coloca como transformador do mundo e de si mesmo, o qual dá-se no encontro com o outro, longe de ser uma experiência solitária com o próprio eu, realiza-se na associação com outrem.
NIETZSCHE E A TEORIA DO CONHECIMENTO
Authors: De Jesus Francisco De Paula Santana
Published: January 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever e investigar a crítica nietzschiana a Teoria do Conhecimento e em que consiste o conhecimento para o filósofo. Com isso, evidenciamos que o método genealógico desenvolvido por Nietzsche viabiliza não somente solapar as posturas dogmáticas em relação ao conhecimento, mas também lançar bases para uma outra concepção de conhecimento onde o caráter perspectivístico da efetividade seja posto em destaque, possibilitando um permanente trabalho de investigação das condições de possibilidade de constituição das instâncias avaliativas através das quais o ser humano se orienta.
Review of the Volume ”Principalele contracte de comerț internațional” [Main International Trade Contracts], Author: Dumitrița Florea, Lumen Publishing House, 2017
Authors: Guzgan Loredana

"Principalele contracte de comerţ internaţional” [Main International Trade Contracts] is a book written by Dumitrița Florea and published by Lumen Publishing House from Iasi, Romania, a volume that explains and captures in a clear and structured way the various types of existing contracts that are subject to international trade. This paper was published in 2017, a year when international trade experienced a significant recovery, much more synchronized and generalized compared to previous years, which were marked, in various proportions, by the effects of the crisis of 2008-2009. During this period, the main trend identified is the reorientation, with a new force, of business to the international space, considered profitable and promising.
Fulfillment of the Conditions of Law no. 302/2004 on the European Arrest Warrant
Authors: Barbu Denisa , Pana Nicolae Silviu
Published: January 2022

In the Romanian and European doctrine, taking into account the definition given by the European legislator in the normative act itself, the Framework “Decision no. 2002/584/JHA, the European arrest warrant was defined in a similar manner as the legislator did”. Thus, one jurisprudential decision states that: “from a legal point of view, the European arrest warrant is defined as a court decision issued by the competent judicial authority of an EU Member State, in order for another state to arrest and hand over a person who is wanted in order to stand for prosecution, trial or the execution of a custodial sentence or a security measure” (European Court of Justice, 2016).
The Preconditions for the Admission of the Preventive Measure Based on an European Arrest Warrant
Authors: Barbu Denisa , Pana Ana Maria
Published: January 2022

In addition to the mandatory “grounds for refusing to execute an European arrest warrant, the legislator” also provided for some optional grounds on the basis of which the competent judicial bodies “of the executing Member State may refuse to execute an European arrest warrant”. These provisions give the courts of the executing Member State the right to invoke or not to invoke them and, implicitly, the right to execute or not to execute an European arrest warrant. In our view, the refusal to execute the warrant must be complemented by the establishment “of direct links between the judicial authorities of the two Member States”, with regard to adopting a solution to the situation. In this context, given the complexity of the cases, the specific circumstances of the crimes, as well as other elements, the two judicial authorities involved will have to ascertain the incidence of another European institution, namely the transfer of proceedings in criminal matters.
Sport Management: Who We Are and Where We Are Going
Authors: Stokowski Sarah , Paule-Koba Amanda L. , Huml Matt R. , Koch Mark C. , Li Bo
Published: January 2022

Due to the popularity of sport, the need to have sport management programs that properly train practitioners is justified (Pedersen & Thibault, 2014). However, with 505 sport management bachelors programs worldwide (“Degrees in Sports,” n.d.) housed in various academic units, there is little consistency within the field of study. This paper strives to explore the field of sport management and to better understand sport management faculty members’ perceptions of the discipline. Grounded in Foucault’s (1971) theory of discourse, total of 154 sport management faculty members worldwide participated in the study. The data revealed there is a lack of consistency within the field regarding faculty members’ perceptions of sport management. This study offers a vital, first step in an empirical examination of a critical phenomenon in the sport management academy.
„Znawca miłosnych pieśni / i dojrzałych czereśni” – o zaśpiewanych wierszach Ewy Lipskiej
Authors: Marciniak Paweł
Published: January 2022

Artykuł dotyczy niszowego (w kontekście recepcji) aspektu twórczości Ewy Lipskiej. Chodzi o kształtowanie się gatunku piosenki na bazie dorobku literackiego autorki kojarzonej głównie z nurtem wysokoartystycznym, do którego zalicza się poezja. Wstępne partie artykułu (przywołanie i analiza odnośnych tekstów teoretycznych) wprowadzają czytelnika w świat filiacji między wierszem a piosenką. W części głównej dokonywane są interpretacje poszczególnych utworów Ewy Lipskiej, które posłużyły niegdyś jako teksty do piosenek takim artystom, jak chociażby Grzegorz Turnau czy Anna Szałapak. W artykule autor próbuje zdestabilizować pojęcie „poezji śpiewanej”, osłabiając także stereotypy (związane z arbitralnym przyporządkowaniem jedynie do poezji intelektualnej) narastające wokół twórczości Ewy Lipskiej.
Assessing Crop and Water Productivity Performance of Different Crops and Cropping Systems
Authors: Kumar Ramesh , Yadav R.S. , Kumawat Amit , Nangia Vinay , Yadava N.D. , Rathore V.S.
Published: January 2022

Background: Freshwater in sufficient quantity and adequate quality is a prerequisite for human societies and natural ecosystems. To adequately feed 9.3 billion people in 2050, consumptive water use (i.e. transpired water) by all food and fodder crops needs to increase from its present estimated level of 7000 km3/year to 12,586 km3/year. However, fresh water resources are increasingly getting scarce because of increased competition among a multitude of users. Getting agriculture to perform with progressively smaller allocation of renewable water resources will remain a challenge on global scale. To meet the challenge there is an urgent need to improve the crop water productivity to ensure the sustainability of agriculture. Methods: An experiment was carried out at village Menawali, Hanumangarh, Rajasthan during both kharif and rabi seasons to assess productivity, economics, N-uptake and water use of different crops. An area of 187 ha comprising 25 farmers irrigated by common irrigation channels were selected to collect the information. The information required i.e. soil, crop management, growth, phonological, yields, water balance, N-uptake and water use efficiency of each crops were collected from 15 farmers. Bt-cotton and clusterbean of kharif and wheat and Indian mustard in rabi were prominent crops, cotton-wheat, cotton-mustard, clusterbean-wheat and clusterbean-mustard were major cropping sequences of the study region. Result: In kharif season, Bt-cotton gave higher economic yields than clusterbean and amongst rabi season crops, economic yields of wheat and mustard were 4255, 1778 kg/ha, respectively. The economic yield of cropping sequences varied from 3741-6514 kg/ha and were higher for cotton-wheat (6218 kg/ha), intermediate for clusterbean-wheat (5785 kg/ha) and lower for cotton-mustard (3741 kg/ha) and clusterbean-mustard (3308 kg/ha). The cotton-wheat (₹1181.2 mm) sequence had highest water use. Clusterbean-wheat cropping system recorded highest water productivity (16.5 kg/ha mm) followed by clusterbean-mustard (14.9 kg/ha mm). The clusterbean-mustard (₹456/ha mm) cropping sequence was most profitable and fetched highest net return followed by clusterbean-wheat (₹383/ha mm).

Background: Nursery rearing of Penaeus vannamei became inevitable in the Indian shrimp farming industry, since intensification of culture practices in grow-out systems caused nitrogenous wastes accumulation, diseases, mortality and premature harvests resulted in high food conversion ratio, lower production and profits. The nursery rearing in traditional water exchange systems often getting failure because of nitrogenous waste accumulation. Hence, the present experiment was planned to rear P. vannamei in bioflocs systems (BFS) with different salinities and carbon sources. Methods: The experiment was conducted in 0.22 m3 tanks with three different salinity groups viz., 35 ppt, 20 ppt and 5 ppt and in each salinity sugar, molasses used as carbon sources to maintain an estimated C/N ratio of 15:1 and controls without carbon sources. Experimental tanks were stocked @6 post larvae/l, with pre-salinity acclimatized P.vannamei seeds having 0.0029±0.0003g size and nursed for a period of 5 weeks. Result: The nitrogenous waste accumulation was reduced significantly (p less than 0.05), also average body weight and survival rate of the seeds showed significant difference (p less than 0.001) between treatments and controls and within treatments (p less than 0.05). Salinity, carbon sources and their interaction influenced the growth characteristics significantly (p less than 0.01). The present experiment manifested promising results of bioflocs nurseries in rearing of P. vannamei seeds at different salinities.

Background: The present study aims at assessment of genetic diversity in 43 extra early pigeonpea genotypes with 41 simple sequence repeat markers. Methods: In the present investigation, 41 HASSR markers were used to assess the genetic diversity. Similarity matrices were utilized to construct the unweighted pair group method with Arithmetic average dendrogram using NTSYs PC software. Result: Out of 41 HASSR markers, 21 markers were showed distinct banding pattern, while 11 markers were showed monomorphic banding pattern and remaining 9 markers showed no banding pattern or not amplified. Cluster analysis done using HASSR markers revealed that ICPL87119 was found to be the most diverse. This genotype also found to be resistant to wilt. Based on similarity coefficients and cluster analysis genotypes ICPL87119, ICPL84031, ICPL88014, ICPL161, ICPL87091 and CORG9701 were genetically more distant from other genotypes studied and these varieties can be used for their desirable characteristics in breeding programs for pigeonpea improvement.

Objective: Cost-related nonadherence to health maintenance behaviors is common in the general population, yet we know little about these behaviors in Middle East and North African (MENA) Americans. We examined cost-related nonadherence (CRN) in the MENA community in SE Michigan to determine demographic predictors, and risk and protective factors.Design, Setting, and Participants: We used data from a cross-sectional convenience sample of MENA adults (N=398) conducted May-September 2019 to identify relevant demographic predictors, as well as the as­sociation between individual health, social, and clinical factors and the likelihood of reporting CRN.Methods and Measures: CRN was defined by whether respondents reported any of the following: that they took less medi­cine, skipped doses, or delayed getting a prescription filled. Other factors included patient/provider communication and racial concordance, mental health distress, food insecurity and insurance status. We used multivariable logistic regression models to determine association of these health and social factors with CRN.Results: Those with highest incomes were least likely to report CRN. Participants with private insurance and with no coverage were more likely to report CRN compared with those with Medicaid coverage. Risk factors for CRN included food insecurity and mental health distress, though strong patient/provider communication was pro­tective of CRN.Discussion: The risk factors for CRN in the MENA community align with risk factors in the general population. As provider commu­nication is protective of CRN, interventions focused on improving patient/provider com­munication may serve as a way to protect against financially motivated medication nonadherence.

Background: Electronic health (eHealth) literacy may affect telehealth uptake, yet few studies have evaluated eHealth literacy in underserved populations.Objective: The objective of this study was to describe technology access and use patterns as well as eHealth literacy levels among English-speaking and LEP patients in a Los Angeles safety net health system.Methods: Patients, aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and/or hyper­tension, and their caregivers were recruited from three primary care safety-net clinics in Los Angeles County (California) between June – July 2017. Participants’ electronic health literacy was assessed by the eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS); participants were also asked about technology access and use. We examined these measures in English-speaking and limited English proficient (LEP) Spanish-speaking patients.Results: A total of 71 participants (62 pa­tients and 9 caregivers) completed the ques­tionnaire. The mean age of the respondents was 56 years old. More than half of partici­pants used a phone that could connect to the Internet (67%). The mean score for 10 eHEALS items was in the moderate range (26/50 points). There was no difference in mean eHEALS between language groups. However, 47% of Spanish-speaking partici­pants “agreed/strongly agreed” that they knew how to use the Internet to answer their health questions, compared to 68% of English-speaking participants (P<.05).Conclusions: In this sample of patients from a diverse safety net population, perceived skills and confidence in engaging with electronic health systems were low, particularly among LEP Spanish-speakers, despite moderate levels of electronic health literacy. More studies are needed among diverse patient populations to better assess eHealth literacy and patients’ digital readi­ness, and to examine how these patient metrics directly impact telehealth utilization.Ethn Dis. 2022;32(1):21-30; doi:10.18865/ed.32.1.21

AbstractProcessing of purple sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) into chips is a means to improve the economic value. Crispiness is considered as one essential quality parameter for chip products that must be pursued. The thickness of slices and concentration of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) constitute crispiness defining factors. This research was aimed at conducting organoleptic evaluation on a variety of purple sweet potato slice thicknesses and post-frying sodium bicarbonate concentrations using Non-Numeric Multi Person-Multi Criteria Decision Making (MP-MCDM). Research results showed that the Non-Numeric MP-MCDM method had successfully determined decision of the best prioritized decision among different alternative treatments of the ingredient. The preferred decision according to respondent opinions on the basis of organoleptic evaluation including color, aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptance were products from the 3 g/L NaHCO3 concentration with 1 mm (KB) slice thickness and the 3 g/L NaHCO3 concentration with 2 mm (KE) slice thickness and respondents seemed to like (SK) those products.AbstrakPengolahan ubi jalar ungu (Ipomoea batatas L.) menjadi keripik merupakan salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan nilai ekonomi. Kerenyahan adalah salah satu parameter mutu penting bagi produk keripik yang harus diupayakan. Ketebalan irisan dan konsentrasi natrium bikarbonat (NaHCO3) merupakan faktor penentu kerenyahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan penilaian organoleptik berbagai variasi ketebalan irisan ubi jalar ungu dan kosentrasi natrium bikarbonat pasca penggorengan dengan metode Non-Numeric Multi Person-Multi Criteria Decision Making (MP-MCDM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metode Non-Numeric MP-MCDM telah berhasil menentukan keputusan prioritas terbaik dari berbagai alternatif perlakuan bahan.

Supply chain management practices for SMEs
Authors: Kerekes Vivien , Felföldi János
Published: January 2022

In today’s globalized business environment small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) face many challenges. In order of their survival SMEs need to produce more, at a lower cost, in less time, and with a few defects. They form the most significant group of manufacturing firms and give supports to large companies in many supply chains. In addition, SMEs contribute greatly to entrepreneurship, gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. Despite the fact that micro, small and medium sized enterprises have very important role in business networks, they still have many problems with using supply chain management (SCM) practices. In this research my purpose was to find the best SCM practices as a strategic method to improve SMEs’ performance. First, I give information in general about SCM and the SMEs, then highlight main characteristics of small firms compared to large ones and the reasons why it is essential and efficient to use SCM practices. The article is based on secondary data, using several analysis, surveys, books, journals and my personal experiences collected in this sector. I conclude the research by summarizing my recommendations in connection with SCM practices, the opportunities and barriers.

Published: January 2022

This research is intended to study and analyze the concept of kafa'ah in JasserAuda's perspective. In the concept of kafa'ah, it should be noted that there are still many people who think that kafa'ah only includes the same elements in terms of degree or social strata or wealth. Whereas the essence of kafa'ah is not like that, but among the strategies to create a sakinah, mawaddah, warohmah family. This type of research is library research, namely by collecting a number of data related to the concept of kafa'ah in marriage according to JasserAuda's perspective with the approach maqashidasy-syariah. The Method analysis data used is an inductive qualitative method. This method is done by collecting data, compiled and classified into themes that will be presented, then analyzed and presented with a research framework and then given a full interpretation by describing what it is. The results of the study show that (1) Kafa'ah is equality or harmony, it is important to do in order to achieve the perfection of marriage that avoids domestic life from harm and misery; (2) Wisdom requireskafa'ah is to get to the marriage relationship  sakinahmawaddahwarahmah,and result destination weddings are not only referring to the happiness of the world, but also happiness hereafter; (3) The essence of the  requirement for kafa'ahinperspectiveJasserAuda's is as a form of self-protection and honor for both each partner and for the two families who have been united in a marriage bond.
