Authors:   Simon Kuznets Kharkiv National University of Economics, Boiko N. O.
Published: July 2022

The aim of the article is to determine the differences between Internet marketing in the B2C and B2B sectors, analysis of the most trendy tools of Internet marketing in the B2B sector in order to determine their effective impact on marketing activities and enterprises operating in the B2B market as a whole. It was reasonable to assume that Internet marketing tools are more adapted to the field of B2C. Many industrial companies have ignored the use of modern Internet promotion tools, thus losing market share and potential buyers, giving way to those who quickly adapt to new trends. However, when implementing methods and tools of Internet marketing, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of the sale of industrial products in the field of B2B. The article proposes methods and tools of Internet marketing, recommended for use taking into account the characteristics of industrial products and the sphere of B2B. The study highlighted the most promising and effective tools of Internet marketing in the B2B segment, and also argued that the effect of using these tools will use knowledge about customer needs and strengthen the company's position in the new competitive field of goods and services. It is concluded that previously it was considered that Internet marketing tools are the most adapted to the field of B2C. Many industry companies have ignored the use of modern online promotion tools. For the most part, the use of Internet marketing in B2B companies was complicated by the lack of relevant theoretical framework and practical recommendations. However, Internet marketing gives the opportunity to conduct successful activities on the Internet not only to companies in the field of B2C, but also to companies in the field of B2B, selling industrial products.

Authors:   Academician Stepan Demianchuk International University of Economics and Humanities, Kniazevych A. O.
Published: July 2022

Creativity is becoming an increasing source of competitiveness for countries’ economies in a global context. This has led to the need to develop a methodological instrumentarium for assessing and analyzing creativity as a system of innovative entrepreneurship in both global and local contexts. The article examines the essence of innovative entrepreneurship as a key element of the creative management system, which ensures its effectiveness and commercialization opportunities. The categories of «creative management» is defined as a type of management activity aimed at creating an appropriate socio-psychological climate in teams together with the adaptive innovation infrastructure that will ensure an efficient process of development, generation and implementation of innovations. A classification of types of creativity is carried out as follows: technological, economic, artistic, and cultural. The methods of evaluation along with international indicators for rankubg creative activity are considered in detail: Global Creativity Index; Creative Productivity Index; Global Innovation Index; Index of Creativity of Cities; Hong Kong Creative Index. The development issues of the creative economy are highlighted in international rankings in various aspects and depend on the goals and priorities of researchers, as well as the factors identified for analysis. However, all indices share the same conception of creating an ecosystem to encourage more creativity. The factors that form the structural elements of the creative ecosystem can include the following: human resources; innovative infrastructure; institutional and legal environment; creative results; social capital and the degree of tolerance. In combination, this powerful intangible interaction of factors generates a phenomenon of creativity, which manifests itself in social and economic effects, creates values for the business environment and serves as the basis for innovative development of countries in the long term. The directions of further research are the analysis and development on the basis of international rankings of methods for assessing and stimulating the manifestations of creativity at the macro and micro levels

The development of information and communication technologies (ICT) increases its impact on all spheres of socioeconomic activity, stimulates innovative development and contributes to the creation of new jobs. The purpose of this publication is to study the development of the ICT sphere in Ukraine according to international indices and rankings, and to determine the prospects for its development. The methodological basis of the article contains: review of international indices and rankings in the ICT sphere, graphic and statistical analysis. The most significant international rankings and indices that characterize the level of development of the IT sphere in the countries of the world are considered. Conventionally, they were divided into early indices that reflected the level of development of ICT countries in the world in general, and modern indices that largely reflect the development of certain directions of the IT sphere of the countries of the world. Early indices such as Infostate (Orbicom) and ICTOI include information on providing consumers with traditional communication technologies, while ICTDI, DOI already take into account the impact of using more recent communication technologies, i.e., the Internet. All early indices measuring the level of development of ICT of the countries of the world characterize the state of infrastructure development, use of and skills required by ICT in Ukraine as an average that should be improved. Among the modern indices, the structure of indices and the dynamics of values are considered on the example of Ukraine according to: Network Readiness Index (NRI); Global Communication Index (GCI); Inclusive Internet Index (3I-index); IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking (WDCR); Global Cybersecurity Index (GCsI); National CyberSecurity Index (NCSI); Global Innovation Index (GII); Global Knowledge Index (GKI). Most of the analyzed international rankings and indices demonstrate the strengthening of Ukraine’s position in the world ICT market in the pre-war years. With significant potential in the ICT sphere along with supporting its growth, we can hope for its rapid recovery and further development.

Published: July 2022

During all the years of independence, Ukraine has been taking certain steps towards the introduction and formation of modern trends in education at the official level. The article is aimed at analyzing non-formal education in Ukraine from two perspectives: as workplace training, when formal education is supplemented by non-formal education due to partnerships between universities and companies; and as training in the process of work, when employers recognize the need to invest in human resources and explore novel ways to provide training opportunities for their employees. The relationship between non-formal education and productivity is also emphasized and, according to the conclusions made, proposals for Ukrainian companies have been formed. Education, both formal and non-formal, has a significant and direct impact on the formation of human capital, on which the growth and development of the State largely depends. Formal education is obtained mainly through the system of education at primary, secondary and higher levels, and non-formal education has a direct connection with professional experience in the workplace. Both options of education are considered long-term investments, because educational activities are indirectly related to the degree of preferences in terms of the passage of time and are directly connected to the efficiency of the functioning of the learning system. Non-formal education contributes to the formation of the individual and has a great influence on the level of its productivity. People often face a choice: what is more rational to spend time on – work or education? However, there is an alternative that reduces the need for replacement through the time factor and facilitates the accumulation of knowledge through productive activities. And this is non-formal education. The implementation of non-formal education for employees in Ukrainian companies can be a big and powerful step in their development and increase of competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets.
The Effect of Foreign Direct Investments on Trade Balance in Southeast Europe during the Period 2000–2018
Authors: QEHAJA Driton , ZEKA Fatlum , HOTI Arber
Published: July 2022

This research analyzed the effect Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) have on the levels of exports, imports, and trade balance of six Western Balkan countries (Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, and Serbia). The impact of FDI was measured using panel data for 2000–2018 for the analyzed countries, estimated using a fixed effects specification. We found that an increase in FDI as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had a positive and significant effect on the level of exports and imports expressed as a percentage of GDP, although the effect on imports was greater. Furthermore, when we assessed the impact of FDI on the trade balance of the analyzed countries, we found that FDI had a significant negative effect on the level of the trade balance expressed as a percentage of GDP. These results can be attributed, among other reasons, to the fact that FDI causes an increase in aggregate demand in the short run, which, in developing and middle-income countries, cannot be covered by the domestic market; thus, the demand for imports increases more rapidly than the capacity to increase exports.
Marketing skierowany do kobiet
Authors: Pawlikowska Katarzyna
Published: July 2022

Kobiety podejmują decyzje, w tym decyzje zakupowe, inaczej niż mężczyźni. To efekt emocjonalnych i społecznych różnic między płciami. Akronim "Czujesz" (Człowiek, Zbawicielka, Uporządkowanie, Jednocześnie, Empatia, Społeczność, Zmysłowo) opisuje syntetycznie kobiecy kod komunikacji: wartości emocjonalne, wokół których skonstruowanie przekazu marketingowego do kobiet może zwiększyć jego skuteczność. Różnicowanie komunikatu marketingowego na adresowany do kobiet lub do mężczyzn, albo wzbogacanie istniejącego komunikatu o elementy, które wzmocnią przekaz do klientek to strategie, które mogą być w dzisiejszych czasach skuteczne. Sprzedaż produktów kobietom wymaga przygotowania i otwarcia na dialog, ale przynosi wymierne korzyści w postaci zwiększenia obrotów i zyskania lojalnej, promującej markę konsumentki.
Deprecjacja kompetencji kobiet w polskich organizacjach
Authors: Kolasińska Elżbieta
Published: July 2022

Analizując dyskurs o równości szans oraz praktyczne działania, stwierdzamy, że nadal jest to deklarowana idea, a nie rzeczywistość. Niwelowanie deprecjacji kompetencji kobiet wymaga zmiany mentalności, permanentnej edukacji i redefinicji kobiecych ról. Należy się odnieść do kanonu obowiązującego w Polsce systemu kształcenia, socjalizacji do ról zawodowych oraz praktyk stosowanych na rynku pracy. "Układ, w którym kobiety zajmują niższą pozycję społeczną nie krystalizuje się na łonie rodziny, ale na rynku pracy. Tu bowiem kobiety koncentrują się na mniej eksponowanych stanowiskach, ustępując mężczyznom miejsca na szczycie hierarchii władzy, wyraźnie mniej od nich zarabiają i mają mniejsze, w porównaniu z mężczyznami możliwości awansu" (Domański 1999:14). Jeżeli zmianie nie ulegnie system kształcenia i świadomość społeczna, to wszystkie deklaracje okażą się wzniosłą ideologią niemającą zastosowania w praktyce. Przemiany w polskim systemie edukacji i efektywna socjalizacja kobiet do ról zawodowych najwyższego szczebla zarządzania to konieczne działania. Ponadto ważne jest także, aby poddać dogłębnej analizie działania aktorów społecznych, indywidualnych i instytucjonalnych, którzy albo świadomie, albo nieświadomie deprecjonują kompetencje kobiet w życiu organizacyjnym. Budowanie zaufania do kompetencji kobiet to długofalowy proces, szczególnie w polskich warunkach instytucjonalnych, zdominowanych przez mężczyzn. Jednak niektóre działania sprzyjają budowaniu zaufania do kompetencji kobiet, a są to: •• zasady fair play w życiu społeczno-organizacyjnym obowiązujące wszystkich, •• kształtowanie kultury organizacyjnej i narodowej na fundamencie równości, •• niwelowanie stereotypów płciowych przy ocenie kompetencji. Kolejnym działaniem budującym zaufanie do kompetencji kobiet jest propagowanie transparentnej polityki organizacyjnej i norm etycznych, w tym szerzenie zasady różnorodności przy zatrudnianiu oraz humanitarne traktowanie pracowników bez względu na płeć. Bez zaufania do kompetencji kobiet nie można kształtować nowoczesnych organizacji ani cywilizowanego społeczeństwa. Jednak rozwiązania legislacyjne to tylko formalne gwarancje, które okażą się niewystarczające, gdy zabraknie ich respektowania. Przyszłość należy do organizacji, których strategia odpowiada formule: równość, zaufanie, różnorodność.
Źródła finansowania działalności gospodarczej kobiet z obszarów wiejskich na przykładzie województwa podlaskiego
Authors: Szepelska Alina
Published: July 2022

Podmioty gospodarcze niezależnie od wielkości i miejsca prowadzenia działalności potrzebują finansowania. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że sektor MŚP ma znaczący udział w tworzeniu PKB, problem finansowania przedsiębiorstw zasługuje na uwagę. Przedsiębiorstwa małe i średnie generują co drugą złotówkę – 47,3% PKB, w tym najmniejsze firmy blisko co trzecią – 29,4% [Raport PARP 2013:13]. Mimo to małe i średnie firmy mają trudności w pozyskiwaniu kapitału, a swoją działalność finansują często ze środków własnych. Z badań Eurobarometru wynika, że przedsiębiorstwa kobiece dostają pożyczki na mniejsze kwoty i na wyższy procent, częściej też niż mężczyźni finansują swoją działalność ze środków własnych: 80% przedsiębiorstw prowadzonych przez kobiety i 65% przedsiębiorstw prowadzonych przez mężczyzn [Survey of the Observatory of European SMEs 2007]. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza źródeł finansowania działalności gospodarczej małych i średnich przedsiębiorców, w tym prowadzonych przez kobiety, głównie z obszarów wiejskich województwa podlaskiego. Analizy dokonano na podstawie literatury przedmiotu oraz wybranych wyników badań pt. „Przedsiębiorczość kobiet na obszarach wiejskich na przykładzie województwa podlaskiego”, przeprowadzonych w ramach pracy badawczej BDS-7/IP/10/2013 w drugiej połowie 2014 r.

Kobiety na rynku pracy w Polsce i USA w kontekście efektu substytucyjnego Mincera
Authors: Górska Anna
Published: July 2022

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza zjawiska efektu substytucyjnego w kontekście udziału kobiet w rynku pracy. Efekt substytucyjny w odniesieniu do zamężnych kobiet został opisany w latach 60. XX w. przez J. Mincera, który zauważył pozytywny związek pomiędzy rzeczywistymi stawkami wynagrodzeń kobiet a ich aktywnością zawodową. Czy mechanizmy dostrzeżone przez J. Mincera są wciąż aktualne i opisują również nową rzeczywistość rynkową? Autorka zdaje sobie sprawę z ciągłej, sięgającej jeszcze lat 80. XX w., krytyki powyższej perspektywy ze strony feministycznych ekonomistek. Głównym zarzutem formułowanym pod adresem ortodoksyjnego podejścia prezentowanego przez neoklasycznych ekonomistów było wąskie rozumienie sytuacji kobiet i nieuwzględnianie w badaniach aspektów społecznych i kulturowych. W zakres niniejszego artykułu nie wchodzi określenie, czy efekt substytucyjny jest teorią, która może w precyzyjny sposób opisać sytuację kobiet na rynku pracy. Zamiast omawiać przyczyny obecnej sytuacji, artykuł ma odpowiedzieć na pytanie, czy efekt substytucyjny jest wciąż zauważalny na rynku.(fragment tekstu)

Published: July 2022

Örgütsel değişim, örgütlerin ihtiyaçları ya da zorunluluklarından kaynaklanan dönüşümlerdir. Bu dönüşümler çoğunlukla güç olmakta ve belirli sorunlarla karşılaşabilmektedir. Örgüt yapısının bu duruma istekli olmaması, iş görenlerin bu duruma hazır olmamaları gibi sebepler değişime direnmeye neden olabilmektedir. Bu direnç örgütün misyonunu yerine getirmede aksamalara neden olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Örgütsel çatışma ise, örgüt içindeki kıt kaynakların dağılımında, iş süreçlerinin iş görenler arasında görevlendirilmesinde ve örgüt içinde çeşitli sorunların, iş görenler arasında anlaşmazlıklara dönüşmesi durumudur. Örgütsel değişime direnmede, örgütsel çatışmada, örgütler için istenilmeyen durumlardır ve çözümlemeleri güç olan sorunlardır. Bu iki sorunsalın çözümü için yönetsel çözüm önerileri ve sorunun en az zararla atlatılabilmesi için çözüm yöntemleri çalışma içerisinde tanımlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Her iki değişkenin de nedensel bağlarla birbirlerini etkiledikleri fikirsel çerçevede değerlendirilmektedir. Bu iki kavram arasındaki olası ilişkinin alanda daha fazla dikkate alınması, daha fazla üzerlerinde çalışma yapılması için farkındalık sağlayabilmek üzere kaleme alınan bu çalışma, alan yazın taraması yapılmak suretiyle, literatür derlemesi yapılarak, iki değişken arasındaki etki, fikirsel anlamda ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılarak amaç açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kavramsal çerçevede ele alınmış ve alan yazınına özgün bir bakış getirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: July 2022

Günümüzde birçok organizasyon; sosyal, kültürel, bilimsel ve teknolojik gelişmelerin gereği olarak ortaya çıkan ani ve sürekli değişmelere ayak uydurabilmek için kendini yenileme ve büyük değişimleri gerçekleştirme ihtiyacı duymaktadır. Söz konusu yönetsel paradigma değişikliklerinin evrimi ve dijital dönüşümün beraberinde getirdiği kolaylıklar ile yönetimde holakrasi, heterarşi gibi kavramlar ile düz yapılar, turuncu (teal) ve sarmal organizasyon yapıları hayatımıza girmiş durumdadır. Bu durum, yöneticilerin çalışanların kendilerini işlerine adayacakları bir iş iklimi yaratmak, esnek örgüt yapıları kurmak ve çalışanların mevcut teknolojik kolaylıkları ve fırsatları kullanmalarını destekleyecek şekilde organizasyon yapıları oluşturulmasına odaklanmaları gerekliliği sonucunu doğurmaktadır.
Organizasyonların amacı insanları, işleri ve sorumlulukları doğru şekilde düzenleyerek hedefine ulaşmaktır. Kendini yenileme sorumluluğunu taşıyan kurumların başında üniversiteler gelmektedir. Üniversitelerde sözü edilen bu ihtiyacın karşılanabilmesi için bahse konu dönüşümleri gerçekleştirebilecek nitelikleri taşıyan yönetici akademisyenler gerekmektedir. Alanyazında yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde yönetici akademisyenlerin yaratıcılık ve yenilikçiliği teşvik eden, iletişim ve takım çalışmalarını kolaylaştıran dönüştürücü liderlik özelliklerinin teknolojik gelişmelerin çok yoğun olarak gerçekleştiği yüksek eğitim alanında sürdürülebilir başarı için gerekli olduğu değerlendirilmektedir. Yönetim alanındaki gelişmelerin sonucu ortaya çıkan yeni organizasyonel yapıların sunduğu esneklik, çeviklik, uyarlanabilirlik gibi yeteneklerin üniversitelerde ancak dönüştürücü liderlik özelliklerine sahip yönetici akademisyenlerle gerçekleştirilebileceği düşünülmektedir.

Çalışmamızın amacı reel döviz kurundaki değişimlerin yabancı konut talebi üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu amaçla yabancılara yapılan konut satışlarına döviz kurunun etkisi incelenmek istenmiştir. Bu çalışmada ülke uyruklarına göre yabancılara yapılan konut satış rakamları 2015 yılı itibariyle yayınlandığı için 2015-2021 dönemini kapsayan ülke uyruklarına ait aylık yabancılara yapılan konut satış verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda yapısal kırılmalı birim kök ve eşbütünleşme testleri kullanılmıştır. Zaman serisi analizinin kullanıldığı modelde bağımlı değişken yabancılara konut satışı olup bağımsız değişkenler olarak reel efektif döviz kuru ve konut fiyat endeksi rakamları kullanılmıştır. Gregory-Hansen eşbütünleşme testi sonuçlarına göre yabancılara konut satışı ile reel efektif döviz kuru ve konut fiyat endeksi arasında uzun dönemli eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin varlığı görülmektedir. Eşbütünleşme ilişkisi bulunan değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişkinin analizi yapısal kırılmaların kukla değişken olarak analize dahil edildiği FMOLS katsayı yöntemi ile araştırılmış ve reel efektif döviz kurundaki %1’lik azalış (TL’nin değer kaybetmesi) yabancı konut satışını %3.43 arttırdığı sonucu elde edilmiştir. Konut fiyat endeksi değişkeninin katsayısı ise istatistiksel olarak anlamsız çıkmıştır.
Assessing commercial fishery bait in Dungeness crab Cancer magister feeding ecology: δ13C and δ15N stable isotope and gut content analysis
Authors: Harbison T , Rogers M , Henkel S
Published: July 2022

Dungeness crabsCancer magistersupport the largest fishery in Oregon (USA), which inputs millions of pounds of bait into the coastal ocean every year. We assessed evidence for seasonal consumption of commercial Dungeness crab fishery bait off the Oregon coast by that target species through δ13C and δ15N stable isotope and gut content analysis. Using Dungeness crab samples collected on the Oregon inner to mid-continental shelf, variation in δ13C and δ15N values were assessed according to sex, size class, region, and season using nested ANOVA, Euclidean vector statistics, and Bayesian standard ellipse areas corrected for sample size (SEAc) in R. The isotopic signatures of sampled crabs showed statistically significant variation by sex, region, and season; the differences in the isotopic niches of large male versus female crabs (carapace width ≥159 mm) were especially pronounced. δ15N in female crabs peaked in spring and declined toward fall with similar mean δ13C, which could be indicative of higher trophic level bait consumption in the winter when the fishery is the most active, while δ13C varied seasonally in males with similar mean δ15N. The approximated trophic niches (based on SEAc) of both male and female crabs were greatest in fall, suggesting broader foraging in the absence of bait inputs. This work provides a step towards understanding the ecological role of fishery activities on one of the most economically valuable species on the US west coast.

Approaches based on the analysis of internet search query data can be important for understanding public reaction and conducting disease surveillance. One of these tools may be the Yandex.Wordstat service. In addition to near-universal public access to search services and the ability to collect real-time data, many users search information in the internet before visiting a doctor, which makes it possible to better capture the onset of diseases, the processes associated with them and the reaction of society.The aim of our retrospective, descriptive study of COVID‑19 in Russia is to use Yandex.Wordstat to describe the symptoms of the disease and complications based on search queries, as well as their relationship to the public interest in prevention measures, testing for COVID‑19.Methods. We used the Yandex.Wordstat service, a public online system for tracking search queries by week in the Yandex search engine. Requests to Yandex in Russia were analyzed from 08/10/2020 to 11/28/2021. We initially compiled a list of 61 search terms in the following categories: common symptoms of COVID‑19, complications, testing, drug use, preventive measures, medical care, allergies.Results. Search terms related to symptoms, testing, and drugs closely correlate with reported cases of COVID‑19 in Russia, which indicates the need for further research on the potential use of the Yandex service as a disease surveillance tool.

Relevance. During the COVID‑19 pandemic, accompanied by the registration of a large number of foci in dormitories, it is important to have a clear idea of the effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures (PM), which are one of the main ways to combat outbreaks and the pandemic itself.The purposeof the study. Scientific substantiation of the effectiveness of PM in the fight against the focal incidence of COVID‑19 in dormitories of a separate type.Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of the course of the epidemic process (EP) in 5 representative COVID‑19 foci, depending on the PM undertaken, was carried out. The statistical hypothesis was tested with the definition of the criterion t (p ≤ 0.05).Results and discussion. Epidemiological analysis showed that the severity of the course of the COVID‑19 EP in dormitories was in direct statistical dependence on the volume of PM undertaken. The absence of the introduction of PM at the stage of the formation of the focus contributed to the rapid spread of the virus among residents on all floors of the hostel. EP in these dormitories was characterized by a chronic course with a high incidence rate. The introduction of the PM complex during the registration of the first cases of infection guaranteed to prevent the formation of a large focus and contributed to its timely localization.Conclusion. Based on the studies conducted and the results obtained, it should be noted that PM is the main method of combating focal morbidity in dormitories in Moscow.

ON NEW INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY(\ep,η)-NEGATION AND (\ep,η)-IMPLICATION
Authors: ATANASSOV Krassimir T.
Published: July 2022

The concept of an Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (IFS) was introduced in 1983 in \cite{ITKR} and again there in it, the first definition of operation intuitionistic fuzzy negation over IFS was introduced. Later, in \cite{IFPC}, two forms of the operation intuitionistic fuzzy implication were introduced. As of the 2000s, more than 200 different implications and more than 50 different negations arise and in [5 -- 21, 23, 24], their basic properties were discussed. In \cite{e,ee}, two negations, namely $\ep$-negation and $(\ep,\eta)$-negation, were introduced and over their bases $\ep$- and $(\ep,\eta)$-implications were defined, respectively. It was shown that the $(\ep,\eta)$-negation and $(\ep,\eta)$-implication are extensions of the $\ep$-negation and $\ep$-implication, respectively.

Introduction

Neutrophil and eosinophil activation and its relation to disease severity has been understudied in primary care patients with COVID-19. In this study, we investigated whether the neutrophil and eosinophil compartment were affected in primary care patients with COVID-19.

Methods

COVID-19 patients, aged ≥ 40 years with cardiovascular comorbidity presenting to the general practitioner with substantial symptoms, partaking in the COVIDSat@Home study between January and April 2021, were included. Blood was drawn during and 3 to 6 months after active COVID-19 disease and analyzed by automated flow cytometry, before and after stimulation with a formyl-peptide (fNLF). Mature neutrophil and eosinophil markers at both time points were compared to healthy controls. A questionnaire was conducted on disease symptoms during and 3 to 6 months after COVID-19 disease.

Results

The blood of 18 COVID-19 patients and 34 healthy controls was analyzed. During active COVID-19 disease, neutrophils showed reduced CD10 (p= 0.0360), increased CD11b (p= 0.0002) and decreased CD62L expression (p< 0.0001) compared to healthy controls. During active COVID-19 disease, fNLF stimulated neutrophils showed decreased CD10 levels (p< 0.0001). Three to six months after COVID-19 disease, unstimulated neutrophils showed lowered CD62L expression (p= 0.0003) and stimulated neutrophils had decreased CD10 expression (p= 0.0483) compared to healthy controls. Both (un)stimulated CD10 levels increased 3 to 6 months after active disease (p= 0.0120 andp< 0.0001, respectively) compared to during active disease. Eosinophil blood counts were reduced during active COVID-19 disease and increased 3 to 6 months after infection (p< 0.0001). During active COVID-19, eosinophils showed increased unstimulated CD11b (p= 0.0139) and decreased (un)stimulated CD62L expression (p= 0.0036 andp= 0.0156, respectively) compared to healthy controls. Three to six months after COVID-19 disease, (un)stimulated eosinophil CD62L expression was decreased (p= 0.0148 andp= 0.0063, respectively) and the percentage of CD11bbrightcells was increased (p= 0.0083 andp= 0.0307, respectively) compared to healthy controls.

Conclusion

Automated flow cytometry analysis reveals specific mature neutrophil and eosinophil activation patterns in primary care patients with COVID-19 disease, during and 3 to 6 months after active disease. This suggests that the neutrophil and eosinophil compartment are long-term affected by COVID-19 in primary care patients. This indicates that these compartments may be involved in the pathogenesis of long COVID.

Uterine bacterial community abundances shift throughout the estrous cycle, potentially altering the immunological environment of the uterus and impacting subsequent fertility. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the immunological impact of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), as a model for potentially pathogenic bacteria, throughout the uterine endometrium between the luteal and follicular phase of the estrous cycle. Bovine uterine tracts were harvested in mid-luteal (n = 7) or follicular (n = 7) phase. Explants were collected from the contralateral and ipsilateral horn relative to the dominant follicle or corpus luteum, then subjected to one of three treatments: uncultured control, cultured control, or cultured with LPS (1 µg/mL). Explants underwent RNA extraction and targeted RNA sequencing for expression analyses of 40 immune response related genes. Sequencing reads were mapped to Bos taurus genome in CLC Genomics Workbench. Resulting total read counts were normalized by housekeeping gene GAPDH and analyzed for overall expression profile by Orthogonal Projections to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) and Variable Importance in Projection (VIP) analyses in Metaboanalyst. Individual gene expression differences were determined by GLIMMIX procedure in SAS with fixed effects of treatment, estrous phase, uterine horn, and their interaction, with random effect of individual uterus. Expression of 29 genes were affected among treatment groups, with seven genes increased in LPS treatment compared to other groups (P < 0.05). Multiple genes were affected by estrous phase and uterine horn, independent of treatment (P < 0.05). The OPLS-DA analyses indicated overall gene expression differences due to clustering by estrous cycle and treatment (P < 0.001), with no effect of uterine horn (P > 0.10). Similar clustering was observed between luteal and follicular phase explants of controls, but distinct separate clustering between phases with LPS treatment (P = 0.001). According to VIP analyses, mucins were identified as contributing the most to differences observed between phase and treatment. In conclusion, estrous cycle phase resulted in differing overall endometrial gene expression profiles of immune response to LPS treatment. Therefore, altered immunological environment of the uterus in response to bacteria at different estrous cycle stages may lead to differences in reproductive success.
Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms of Pathogenic Bacteria in Tubo-Ovarian Abscess
Authors: Tang Huanna , Zhou Hui , Zhang Runju
Published: July 2022

A tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a common type of inflammatory lump in clinical practice. TOA is an important, life-threatening disease, and it has become more common in recent years, posing a major health risk to women. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents are necessary to cover the most likely pathogens because the pathogens that cause TOA are polymicrobial. However, the response rate of antibiotic treatment is about 70%, whereas one-third of patients have poor clinical consequences and they require drainage or surgery. Rising antimicrobial resistance serves as a significant reason for the unsatisfactory medical outcomes. It is important to study the antibiotic resistance mechanism of TOA pathogens in solving the problems of multi-drug resistant strains. This paper focuses on the most common pathogenic bacteria isolated from TOA specimens and discusses the emerging trends and epidemiology of resistant Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, and gram-positive anaerobic cocci. Besides that, new methods that aim to solve the antibiotic resistance of related pathogens are discussed, such as CRISPR, nanoparticles, bacteriophages, antimicrobial peptides, and pathogen-specific monoclonal antibodies. Through this review, we hope to reveal the current situation of antibiotic resistance of common TOA pathogens, relevant mechanisms, and possible antibacterial strategies, providing references for the clinical treatment of drug-resistant pathogens.
Addressing the Swedish Large Carnivore Controversy: Identifying Roadblocks in Collaborative Governance to Reduce Conflict

Published: July 2022

In Europe, and many places throughout the world, the return, and preservation of large carnivores is escalating tensions between stakeholder groups, as well as between local actors and authorities. In Sweden, despite policies aimed at reducing conflict surrounding wildlife management, tensions seem to have intensified. This research investigates the collaborative governance model within Swedish wildlife management and what dampens the capacity to reduce ongoing tensions. In-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders at different levels of wildlife management. Through an abductive approach combining empirical data from interviews and theories from the human-wildlife conflict and collaborative governance literature, we problematize the role of regional wildlife managers in this multilevel governance context, in exploration of ways to advance collaboration. Our model analyzes the challenges for wildlife managers to implement government policies based on broad international conventions while remaining accountable to local concerns. The results reveal that issues within the governance structure and relationships within management in terms of lack of legitimacy, trust, and participation, need to be addressed to create a socially viable collaborative governance regime capable of managing conflict.
