Stance in climate science: A diachronic analysis of epistemic stance features in IPCC physical science reports
Authors: Poole Robert , Hayes Nicholas
Published: February 2023

This diachronic corpus-based analysis investigates the use of epistemic stance devices inreports from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)from the date of its first report on the physical science of climate change in 1990 to itssixth contribution in 2021. Applying the framework of stance (Biber & Finegan, 1989),the study focuses upon changes in the use of the epistemic stance markers of modal verbsand adverbs across the approximately 30-year period. To empirically measure thestrength of trends in the use of these stance devices, Kendall’s Tau correlation coefficientwas calculated for each item using their normalized frequencies from the six reports.Analysis displayed that the use of modal verbs has consistently decreased across thisperiod of time in which the scientific consensus regarding the anthropogenic origins ofclimate change expanded and solidified. Additionally, of the greater than twenty stanceadverbs displaying consistent use trajectories across the period, the majority of theseitems were emphatic adverbs declining in use.
“It’s like a double-edged sword”: Mentor Perspectives on Ethics and Responsibility in a Learning Analytics–Supported Virtual Mentoring Program
Authors: Lee Hakeoung Hannah , Gargroetzi Emma
Published: February 2023

Data-driven learning analytics (LA) exploits artificial intelligence, data-mining, and emerging technologies, rapidly expanding the collection and uses of learner data. Considerations of potential harm and ethical implications have not kept pace, raising concerns about ethical and privacy issues (Holstein & Doroudi, 2019; Prinsloo & Slade, 2018). This empirical study contributes to a growing critical conversation on fairness, equity, and responsibility of LA lending mentor voices in the context of an online mentorship program through which undergraduate students mentored secondary school students. Specifically, this study responds to a phenomenon shared by four mentors who recounted hiding from mentees that they had seen their LA data. Interviews reveal the convergent and divergent ideas of mentors regarding LA in terms of 1) affordances and constraints, 2) scope and boundaries, 3) ethical tensions and dilemmas, 4) paradoxical demands, and 5) what constitutes fairness, equity, and responsibility. The analysis integrates mentor voices with Slade and Prinsloo’s (2013) principles for an ethical framework for LA, Hacking’s (1982, 1986) dynamic nominalism, and Levinas’s (1989) ethics of responsibility. Design recommendations derived from mentor insights are extended in a discussion of ethical relationality, troubling learners as data-subjects, and considering the possibilities of the agency, transparency, and choice in LA system design.

Published: February 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of stress coping styles in the relationship between separation individualization and sexual self-schema.
Methods: Relational screening model was used in the study. In the selection of the sample group of the study, the convenience sampling method, which is one of the non-random sampling methods, was preferred. The study group of the research consists of 246 (61%) females, 157 (39.0%) males. In this study, Demographic Information Form, Separation Individuation Scale, Sexual Self Schema Scale, and Coping with Stress Scale was used.
Results: According to the results, problem-focused coping styles play a partial mediator role in the relationship between separation individuation and loving/compassionate sexual self-schema in coping with stress, and there is a relationship between separation individuation and problem-focused coping styles.
Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between separation, individuation and loving/compassionate sexual self and self-confident, optimistic approach, seeking social support. Predicts the compassionate sexual self-schema; It was determined that coping styles were a partial mediating variable in the relationship between relational problems and the loving/compassionate sexual self-schema.
Pulmonary vessel volume can help to differentiate fibrotic lung diseases
Authors: GÖKÇEK Atila
Published: February 2023

Objectives: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) are diffuse fibrosing lung diseases that are sometimes difficult to differentiate by only visual evaluation of CT images. We aimed to find if pulmonary vessel volume (PVV), a new quantitative CT measure, can help to differentiate these diseases at the time of diagnosis.
Methods: We retrospectively measured PVV values of IPF, NSIP, and CHP patients diagnosed within the last five years in our institution, by using their CT images at the time of diagnosis. We used CALIPER-technology (Computer-Aided Lung Informatics for Pathology Evaluation and Rating) for the quantification of CT images. We compared the PVV values of disease groups by the Kruskal-Wallis test and performed ROC curve analysis to evaluate the ability of PVV to differentiate these diseases.
Results: We measured the PVV values of 152 patients, 113 of them were diagnosed with IPF, 16 with NSIP, and 23 with CHP. The PVV value of the NSIP group was significantly lower than that of both IPF (p = 0.028) and CHP (p = 0.013) groups. However, there was no significant difference between IPF and CHP groups (p = 0.924). Selected cut-off values of PVV were found to differentiate NSIP from IPF with a specificity of 88%, and NSIP from CHP with a specificity of 91%.
Conclusions: PVV measured by CALIPER at the time of diagnosis can help to differentiate NSIP from both IPF and CHP.

Published: February 2023

Göz altında yaş alma belirtileri yirmili yaşlardan sonra ortaya çıkar. Yaş alma ile birlikte göz altında çukurlaşma ve renk değişimi görülür. Tear trough deformitesi ameliyatlı ve ameliyatsız estetik müdahale ile düzeltilebilir. Tear trough deformitesinin sebebinin, çöküntünün hemen altında bulunan tear trough ligamentine bağlı olduğu gösterilmiştir. Gözaltı ve yanak bölgesindeki lateral sınırda ise orbitalis retaining ligament gösterilmiştir. Tear trough ligamenti medialde midpupiler hat hizasına kadar devam eder. Midpupiler hat hizasından sonra ise orbitalis retaining ligament iki yaprak olarak başlar. Bu ligamentlerin cerrahi olarak direksiyonu ile veya dolgu uygulaması ile düzeltilmesi mümkündür. Tear trough ligamenti ve orbitali retaining ligamenti daha önce kadavra diseksiyonlarında tanımlanmıştır. Kadavra direksiyonu vaka sunumuzda mevcut tanımın aksine tear trough ligamentinin midpupiler hat hizasına ulaşmadan iki yaprağa ayrıldığı gösterilmiştir. Tear trough ligamentinin anatomik varyasyonun olması, estetik olarak bu bölgenin düzeltilmesinde göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.
ÇOCUK VE ADOLESANLARDA KONJONKTİVAL NEVÜSE YAKLAŞIM
Authors: BAŞKAN Ceyda
Published: February 2023

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı pediatrik ve adolesanlarda konjonktival nevüslerin seyrini ve olası yaklaşım yöntemlerini belirlemektir.

Gereç ve yöntemler: Ocak 2021- Kasım 2022 Ankara Şehir Hastanesi oküler onkoloji birimine danışılan konjonktival nevüslü çocuk ve ergenler çalışmaya dahil edildi. 18 yaşından büyük ve kronik sistemik hastalığı olanlar çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Toplam 35 hastanın yaş ortalaması 12 (standart sapma: 2.1; aralık, 7-17) idi. Büyüme gösteren, pigmentasyon artışı olan, eksizyonel biyopsi gerektiren lezyonların lokalizasyonları, patolojik tanıları araştırıldı.

Bulgular: Toplam 35 hastanın %54 ü erkek %46’sı kadındı. Etkilenen gözlerin % 54.2’si sağ, %45.71’i sol taraftaydı. Nevüslerin %62.8’i bulbar konjonktivada, %25.71’i limbusda, %11.4’ü de karünkülde lokalizeydi. %54.28 inde nazal kadranda, %34.28’inda temporal kadranda, %5.71’inde tüm kadranlarda lokalizasyon görüldü. Nevüslerin %71.42’sinde kist gözlendi. Besleyici damar sadece 10 hastada görüldü (%28.57). Lezyon içersinde vaskülarizasyon %34.28 hastada gözlemlendi. Hastaların ilk başvuruda %74.28’inde büyüme şikayeti mevcuttu. Ailenin endişesi, malignensi şüphesi ve takip imkanı bulunamayan durumlarda, bu hastalara eksizyonel biyopsi uygulandı. Geride kalan 9 hasta takip edildi. 3 hastaya takiplerde lezyonda büyüme ve pigmentasyon artışı nedeniyle eksizyonel biyopsi uygulandı. Geride kalan 6 hasta halen takip edilmektedir. Lezyon boyutunda ve kalınlığında 12 aylık takip sonrasında değişiklik yoktur. Eksizyonel biyopsiler etraf dokuları travmatize etmeden uygulandı. Çıkarılan 29 konjonktival nevüsün 15’ü (%52) compound nevüs, 8’i intrastromal nevüs (%27), 5’i junctional nevüs(%17), 1 tanesi de kombine nevüs olarak gelmiştir. Malign lezyon saptanmamıştır.

Sonuç: Çocuklarda konjonktival nevüsde büyüme pek sık değildir ve çıkarılan lezyonların çoğu benign karakterdir. Oftalmoloji pratiğinde takiplerde büyüme göstermeyen lezyonlar takip edilebilmekle beraber, çoğu zaman pigmentasyon artışı, büyüme göstermesi, enflamasyon bulguların görülebilmesi ve özellikle ebeveynlerin tedirginlikleri nedeniyle çıkarılmaları uygun görülmektedir.
Attitudes Toward Park and Recreation Agency Actions in Support of People Experiencing Homelessness
Authors: Pitas Nicholas Andrew , Mullenbach Lauren , Hickerson Ben
Published: February 2023

Park and recreation providers are increasingly called upon to interface with and serve an unhoused user population. However, park and recreation agency policies are often inconsistent with increasingly progressive societal attitudes toward the issue of homelessness and people experiencing homelessness. Despite the growing salience of this issue, there is a relative lack of information regarding attitudes toward agency actions intended to support people experiencing homelessness. In this note, we use panel survey data to provide descriptive information and group comparisons via independent samples t-tests that we believe will prove useful for practitioners, policy makers, and researchers in this context. Our results indicate that while respondents are largely supportive of this type of agency action, park users, younger people, and those who are more affluent and economically conservative are more supportive of actions intended to support people experiencing homelessness.
„Puste faktury” w podatku od towarów i usług. Kilka uwag
Authors: Ćwik-Bury Agata
Published: February 2023

Artykuł podejmuje problematykę „pustych faktur” w podatku od towarów i usług, związanych z oszustwami i nadużyciami podatkowymi – pojęcia niezdefiniowanego w przepisach prawa podatkowego, niefunkcjonującego we wspólnym obszarze podatku od wartości dodanej, a wypracowanego w krajowym orzecznictwie sądowym. Autorka prezentuje stosowany w orzecznictwie sądowoadministracyjnym sposób rozumienia pojęcia „pustych faktur”, wskazując jednocześnie, jakie czynniki uznać należy za decydujące w procesie jego odkodowania. Rozważa także implikacje wystawiania i wprowadzania „pustych faktur” do obrotu prawnego w aspekcie prawa do odliczenia podatku naliczonego.
Binarny i spektralny model tożsamości
Authors: Majcherek Janusz A.
Published: February 2023

Uznanie dwuwartościowej logiki za wzór poprawnego rozumowania przyczyniło się do upowszechnienia binarnego modelu w porządkowaniu i analizie danych w różnych dziedzinach nauki. W naukach społecznych utrwalił tę tendencję zwłaszcza Claude Lévi-Strauss. Ujmowanie w schemacie binarnym objęło także tożsamość, analogicznie do jej definicji stosowanej w dwuwartościowej logice, prowadząc do konstatacji, że tożsamość opiera się na różnicy, czyli opozycji. Analiza wielu danych wskazuje na zawodność takiego podejścia. Tożsamość kształtuje się i jest konstruowana nie w binarnym przeciwstawieniu, lecz w czerpaniu z szerokiego spektrum możliwości i wariantów. Znacznie użyteczniejszy i trafniejszy w charakterystyce tożsamości, zarówno indywidualnej, jak i zbiorowej, jest więc jej spektralny model.
Wielość rzeczywistości w wybranych utworach Emmanuela Carrère’a. Wokół literackich inspiracji socjologii
Authors: Kasperek Andrzej
Published: February 2023

Rozwijana przez Alfreda Schütza koncepcja wielości rzeczywistości stanowi waż- ną część inspirowanej ideami fenomenologicznymi socjologii wiedzy, a szczególne miejsce w tej koncepcji zajmuje kategoria świata życia codziennego, do której odnoszą się pozostałe „ograniczone dziedziny znaczenia”. Celem artykułu jest analiza sytuacji, w których w do- świadczeniu ludzi dochodzi do nałożenia (zmieszania) się dwóch światów (rzeczywistości), a jednocześnie podważona zostaje oczywistość świata życia codziennego. W artykule zostanie podjęta próba zastosowania koncepcji wielości rzeczywistości Schütza do analizy takich sytuacji, ze szczególnym wyeksponowaniem relacji między światem życia codziennego i światem fikcji. Analogicznie do Schütza, który koncepcję wielości rzeczywistości rozwijał, posługując się materiałem literackim (casus Don Kichota), w artykule również zostanie wykorzystany materiał literacki (wybrane utwory Emmanuela Carrère’a) i podjęta będzie próba odpowiedzi na postawione przez Schütza pytanie o to, jak ludzie doświadczają rzeczywistości. Wybrane utwory Carrere’a zostaną poddane analizie treści, której efektem będzie zdefiniowanie dominujących pól tematycznych, a następnie na te pola nałożone zostaną Schützowskie kategorie tworzące zręby jego koncepcji wielości rzeczywistości.
Wybory niekonkurencyjne w Polsce – wyniki badań terenowych
Authors: Stępień Paweł , Pierzgalski Michał
Published: February 2023

W wyborach demokratycznych zdarza się, że na skutek zgłoszenia tylko jednego kandydata zostaje przeprowadzony plebiscyt – jest to tzw. elekcja niekonkurencyjna (ang. uncontested election). W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań terenowych nad zjawiskiem wyborów niekonkurencyjnych wójtów, burmistrzów, prezydentów miast (WBP), dokonano triangulacji metod – dane zebrane w terenie poddano jakościowemu opracowaniu, a następnie wnioski z realizacji terenowej skonfrontowano (tam, gdzie to oczywiście możliwe) z danymi zastanymi (Państwowej Komisji Wyborczej oraz Banku Danych Lokalnych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego). W analizie jakościowej zastosowano dwupoziomowe kodowanie zmiennych oraz podejście indukcyjne, natomiast w analizie ilościowej regresję logistyczną oraz metody graficzne (wykresy pudełkowe i mapy). Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań pokazują, że wy- borom niekonkurencyjnym sprzyjają: duży margines zwycięstwa urzędującego WBP w elekcji poprzedzającej elekcję niekonkurencyjną, jego zwycięstwo w I turze głosowania, wielkość gminy (rozumiana jako liczba mieszkańców) oraz subiektywnie pojmowane zadowolenie mieszkańców ze zrealizowanych w gminie inwestycji.
ЭЛЕМЕНТЫ-ПРИМЕСИ В КВАРЦЕ ГИДРОТЕРМАЛЬНО-МЕТАМОРФОГЕННОГО И ГИДРОТЕРМАЛЬНО-МЕТАМОРФОГЕННОГО-МЕТАСОМАТИЧЕСКОГО ГЕНЕЗИСА (ЮЖНЫЙ УРАЛ)

Ссылка для цитирования: Корекина М.А., Савичев А.Н. Элементы-примеси в кварце гидротермально-метаморфогенного и гидротермально-метаморфогенного-метасоматического генезиса (южный Урал) // Известия Томского политехнического университета. Инжиниринг георесурсов. – 2023. – Т. 334. – № 2. – С. 185-195.

Актуальность исследования обусловлена изучением и вовлечением в технологический передел кварцево-жильных образований различных генетических типов. Цель: определение содержания элементов-примесей в кварце разных генетических типов и степени его пригодности для получения высокочистых кварцевых концентратов. Объекты: кварцево-жильные объекты гидротермально-метаморфогенно-метасоматического типа (жила Беркутинская, жила Болотная) и гидротермально-метаморфогенного типа (проявление Песчаное, жила Толстиха, месторождение Новотроицкое). Методы: LA-ICP-MS спектроскопия элементов-примесей, микроскопические исследования кварца, оценка P-T параметров минералообразования. Результаты. Установлено, что жилы гидротермально-метаморфогенно-метасоматического типа сложены разнозернистым гранулированным прозрачным, полупрозрачным, льдистым, сахаровидным кварцем, в то время как кварцево-жильные объекты гидротермально-метаморфогенного типа являются жилами выполнения и состоят преимущественно из молочно-белого кварца. Кварцево-жильные образования двух генетических типов различаются геологическими условиями локализации, температурами минералообразования, гранулометрическими характеристиками, наличием и расположением минеральных и флюидных включений, а также содержанием основных петрогенетически информативных элементов-примесей (Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn). Показано, что гидротермально-метаморфогенный кварц характеризуется более низкими (288–410 °С) температурами образования по сравнению с гидротермально-метаморфогенно-метасоматическим кварцем (415–519 °С), при близких значениях давления (2–4 кбар) и более высокими показателями содержания элементов-примесей (до 535 г/т). Чистота зерен кварца гидротермально-метаморфогенно-метасоматического генезиса связана с многократным воздействием процессов метаморфизма и метасоматоза, при которых происходило вытеснение минеральных и флюидных включений из зерен кварца в межзерновое пространство. Минимальные значения содержания элементов по данным LA-ICP-MS спектроскопии близки к значениям по содержанию элементов в структурной форме и не превышают по всем типам кварца 5–12 г/т, исключение составляет молочно-белый кварц проявления Песчаное (до 25 г/т). Минимальные значения по содержанию элементов-примесей в кварце показывают предел его обогатимости и позволяют при использовании многоступенчатой системы обогащения получать кварцевые концентраты высокой степени чистоты.
Effects of Dietary Yeast Culture on Growth Performance, Feed Digestibility and Faecal Microbiota in Weaned Piglets
Authors: Puspani Eny , Candrawati D.P.M.A. , Bidura I.G.N.G.
Published: February 2023

Background: Generally, in pig farming, the most important thing is the health of the piglets and adequate nutrition for optimal growth. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of yeast culture (YC) to the diet on growth performance and pathogenic bacteria in the excreta of piglets. Methods: One hundred twenty male crossed Landrace piglets with an average body weight of 12.77+1.28 kg, were randomly divided into four treatment groups (30 piglets each). Piglets in the control group were given basal feed without the addition of YC (A); and the other group was fed a basal diet with an additional 0.20% YC (B); 0.40% YC (C) and 0.60% YC(D), respectively. In every 1 g of YC contains as much as 3.95x106 CFU/g Saccharomyces spp. Result: Final body weight, average daily gain and feed: gain in the pig group that received YC in both growth phases of the piglets were a significant increase (P less than 0.05) rather than control. On the other hand, the addition of YC to the diet significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased Coliform and E. coli in faecal. It can be concluded that the addition of 0.20% YC to piglet feed can stimulate growth and suppress pathogenic bacteria (E. coli and Coliform).

Pesquisas sobre religión. Pensamientos, reflexiones y conceptos.
Authors: Gutierrez Portillo Angel Alejandro
Published: February 2023

Las sociedades han experimentado una variedad de transformaciones socioculturales durante el siglo XXI, algunas de ellas con mayor impacto que otras. No obstante, en el mundo globalizado que estamos viviendo pocas situaciones socioculturales quedan al margen y se ven afectadas. Así también acontece con determinados hechos sociales. La religión es uno de esos fenómenos socioculturales que más cambios ha tenido en las últimas décadas. Estos han sido uno de los objetos de estudio predilectos por los grandes referentes de la antropología social, la sociología, la etnología y la historia, como es el caso de Émile Durkheim, Bronislaw Malinowski, Victor Turner, Clifford Geertz, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Max Weber, Pierre Bourdieu, Edmund Leach, Evans-Pritchard, Niklas Luhmann, Mircea Eliade, entre otros. Si bien, hay puntos en concreto en el que convergen y divergen las posturas de los autores antes citados, también existe un compromiso plausible por parte de ellos, para develar las singularidades de lo religioso en diversos contextos. En ese sentido, la fórmula más simple para estudiar la religión consiste en analizar la fenomenología religiosa con la ayuda de instrumentos teóricos, empíricos y metodológicos. Esto nos permitirá observar y examinar objetivamente los ritos, las conductas, las normas, los patrones, las particularidades, las cosmovisiones, las ceremonias, las manifestaciones religiosas de diversa índole. Este es el caso que nos concierne y el que sustenta la publicación Pesquisas sobre religión. Pensamientos, reflexiones y conceptos.
Unemployment, Poverty and Social Policy Response in the Baltic Countries after System Transformation
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Min Kichae , Kim Doyun
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the patterns of unemployment and poverty experienced after systemic transition in the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania) and social policy responses to solve them, using literature analysis and non-face-to-face interview methods. As a result of the analysis, the three Baltic countries were exposed to the social problems of unemployment and poverty in the process of introducing a radical market economy system, and the social policies to solve them were unemployment assistance (1991), unemployment insurance (1996 and 2002), It was the ALMP (early 2000s), the poverty policy (early 2000s) with definitions and targets for poverty, and official poverty lines. The post-socialist social policies of the three Baltic countries in response to the realities of the socialist welfare system, such as concealed unemployment under full employment, formal job placement and weak vocational training, and the universalization of poverty hidden behind propaganda, were ex post and weak in policy effectiveness.
Ukrainian Cultural Resistance on Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Hong Sogu
Published: February 2023

This study explains that the Russia-Ukraine War is a culture war. The essay “On the historical relationship between Russians and Ukrainians” published by Putin on July 12, 2021 reflects Putin’s historical and cultural views, denying Ukraine’s independent historical, national, and cultural identity. Based on Putin's view of history, this study will discuss how the Russian military is carrying out 'erasing Ukrainian culture' and how Ukrainians are preserving their cultural heritage and identity. As a case study, I also introduce how the public and artists in various cultural spheres of Ukraine are culturally resisting the Russian invasion. Analyzing the cases of Ukrainian resistance in folk culture, street art, music and song, this study explains the impact of the Russian invasion on Ukrainian culture.
A Study on Euroscepticism in Central and Eastern Europe and its Determinants: An Empirical Analysis Using Micro-data
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Kang Yoo-Duk
Published: February 2023

This study conducts an empirical analysis of the public opinion of Euroscepticism in Central and Eastern Europe countries (CEEC) using micro-data and compares it with Western Europe (EU-15). Considering the changes before and after the system transition and EU accession, it is necessary to examine the specificity of Central and Eastern Europe in research on Euroscepticism.
Eurosceptical political movement in Central and Eastern Europe is closely related to the activities of the far-right populist parties that have rapidly emerged since 2010 and the public opinion formed through them. Therefore, it differs from Euroscepticism in Western Europe, which arose from the conflict between the supranational character of European integration and national sovereignty. The Anti-EU movement in politics in Central and Eastern Europe were mainly manifested in the process of the established parties shifting to the right.
According to the results of the empirical analysis, individuals with higher levels of education, social status, and income levels, as well as younger age groups, tend to be more favorable to the EU. This systemic association between individual characteristics and Eurosceptic attitude at the individual level can be found in both the EU-15 and CEECs. Professions have also similar influence on individual attitude on the EU in both groups. However, the effect of education level was found to be greater in CEECs. In addition, political affiliation are correlated to the attitude on the EU differently in the EU-15 and CEECs.
Our tentative conclusion is that the main framework of Euroscepticism and its determinants developed by the previous studies focusing on the EU-15 could be effective for research on the CEECs. On the other hand, to explain Euroscepticism in CEECs in a more detailed manner, it is necessary to supplement this quantitative study through other qualitative studies on party politics and political discourse.

A foglalkozások inkonzisztenciája – egy új, presztízsalapú tipológia felé
Authors: Sik Endre , Huszár Ákos , Nagy Réka Klára
Published: February 2023

A 2016-os mikrocenzusnak a foglalkozások presztízsét vizsgáló kiegészítő felvétele alapján arra keressük a választ, hogy melyek a leginkonzisztensebb megítélésű foglalkozások a mai Magyarországon, illetve miben rejlik e foglalkozások inkonzisztenciája. A hagyományos presztízsvizsgálatokkal szemben tehát mi nem azt vizsgáljuk, hogy egy tisztázatlan tartalmú dimenzió alapján (mire gondolhat a válaszoló, amikor állást foglal abban, hogy mekkora egy foglalkozás presztízse?) hogyan ítélik meg a válaszadók a foglalkozásokat, hanem arra vagyunk kíváncsiak, hogy milyen módon kombinálódnak a presztízst alakító dimenziók, illetve e kombinációkban milyen inkonzisztenciák figyelhetők meg. Az a célunk, hogy a különböző dimenziók mentén sorba rendezett foglalkozásipresztízs-elemeket összehasonlítva megismerjük ezek hasonlóságait és eltéréseit, különös tekintettel a közöttük kialakuló inkonzisztenciák mintázataira. Ez alapján betekintést kaphatunk arról, hogy miként gondolkodik a magyar társadalom a foglalkozásokról, és azokon keresztül a társadalom rétegződéséről.

Singularities of the Dynamics of Some Bar Systems with Unilateral Constraints
Authors:   Moscow Automobile and Road Construction State Technical University (MADI), Rozenblat G. M. ,   Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), Grishakin V. T.
Published: February 2023

This paper deals with a formulation and a solution of problems of the dynamics of mechanical systems for which solutions that do not take into account the unilateral nature of the constraints imposed on the objects under study have been obtained before. The motive force in all the cases considered is the gravity force applied to the center of mass of each body of the mechanical system. Since unilateral constraints are imposed on all systems of bodies considered in the above-mentioned problems, their correct solution requires taking into account the unilateral action of the constraint reaction forces applied to the bodies of the systems under study. A detailed analysis of the motion of the systems after zeroing out the constraint reaction forces is carried out. Results of numerical experiments are presented which are used to construct motion patterns of the systems of bodies illustrating the motions of the above-mentioned systems after they lose contact with the supporting surfaces.

O objetivo foi investigar o uso de medicamentos em crianças hospitalizadas e possíveis inadequações nas prescrições médicas, que possam contribuir para a ocorrência de erros no processo de medicação. Estudo transversal e retrospectivo, realizado em um Hospital Pediátrico do Estado do Tocantins, por meio da análise de prescrições médicas. O projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa local e os dados foram coletados em junho de 2019, por meio do instrumento constituído por 27 itens, derivado do protocolo ‘Segurança na Prescrição, Uso e Administração de Medicamentos’ da Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. Foram analisadas 54 prescrições de medicamentos de crianças, que apresentavam média de idade de 3,11 anos (DP 3,22) e diagnósticos prevalentes relacionados ao sistema respiratório (50%).  Foi identificada média de 7,25 medicamentos (DP 4,02) por prescrição, com predomínio dos fármacos administrados por via endovenosa (87,04%). O estudo também identificou ilegibilidade em 16,67% das prescrições de medicamentos, bem como omissão de informações relevantes, que podem contribuir para a ocorrência de erros durante o processo de medicação. Há necessidade de conscientizar os profissionais, por meio da educação permanente no serviço, quanto às falhas nas prescrições, para que as inconsistências encontradas sejam corrigidas.

RESUMO

2021 foi um ano em que a internet voltou seus olhos à experimentação em animais devido à animação “Save Ralph”, da organização Humane Society International. Desse modo, reacendeu-se um antigo debate quanto à importância dos modelos animais em pesquisas. Em vista disso, este escrito objetivou analisar as implicações éticas da testagem animal na indústria química, tanto no eixo farmacológico quanto no eixo cosmético. Este estudo possui um caráter essencialmente teórico, amparado num conjunto de fontes bibliográficas que servem de base teórico-conceitual para evidenciar as questões propostas. Constatou-se que os métodos mais tradicionais adotados pela indústria química para lidar com cobaias sencientes são repletos de especismo. Além disso, percebeu-se que, embora não se possa negar que a testagem animal teve grande importância histórica no desenvolvimento de diferentes ramos da indústria química, também é tendência natural do conhecimento científico sempre buscar o progresso. Avalia-se que cabe aos pesquisadores procurar pela substituição da metodologia clássica especista, dando espaço para as técnicas alternativas de pesquisa.

Background. The main impetus behind the worldwide Covid-19 vaccination campaign in 2021 was to reduce the mortality attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the preceding year. Nevertheless, rigorous analyses of the mortality benefits conferred by this massive vaccination effort have been lacking. Methods Statistics offers us an essential methodological approach for measuring the impacts of Covid-19 vaccination on public health. The mathematical relation between vaccinated-alive groups can be repeated between vaccinated-dead groups with relatively high statistical reliability because of the large population numbers involved. This method also confers greater statistical usefulness because it eliminates the Simpson effect. Results Calculations were performed for each of the following five(5) four-week intervals: weeks 35-38 (2021), weeks 39-42 (2021), weeks 43-46 (2021), weeks 47-50 (2021), and weeks 51(2021)-2(2022). The results obtained confirm that the mortality of the vaccinated coronavirus-infected groups was 14.5% higher on average than the mortality of non-vaccinated coronavirus-infected groups. Conclusions Vaccinated infected groups appear to have higher average mortality than their non-vaccinated infected counterparts. The findings suggest the legitimacy of extending the statistics between vaccinated living and vaccinated dead individuals for different age groups. Calculating the impact of Covid-19 vaccination on the mortality rate is a necessary step towards satisfying the first principle of medicine: “Primum non nocere”, “Do no harm”.

Mental health issues can have significant impacts on individuals and communities and hence on social sustainability. There are several challenges facing mental health treatment, however, more important is to remove the root causes of mental illnesses because doing so can help prevent mental health problems from occurring or recurring. This requires a holistic approach to understanding mental health issues that are missing from the existing research. Mental health should be understood in the context of social and environmental factors. More research and awareness are needed, as well as interventions to address root causes. The effectiveness and risks of medications should also be studied. This paper proposes a big data and machine learning-based approach for the automatic discovery of parameters related to mental health from Twitter data. The parameters are discovered from three different perspectives, Drugs & Treatments, Causes & Effects, and Drug Abuse. We used Twitter to gather 1,048,575 tweets in Arabic about psychological health in Saudi Arabia. We built a big data machine learning software tool for this work. A total of 52 parameters were discovered for all three perspectives. We defined 6 macro-parameters (Diseases & Disorders, Individual Factors, Social & Economic Factors, Treatment Options, Treatment Limitations, and Drug Abuse) to aggregate related parameters. We provide a comprehensive account of mental health, causes, medicines and treatments, mental health and drug effects, and drug abuse, as seen on Twitter, discussed by the public and health professionals. Moreover, we identify their associations with different drugs. The work will open new directions for social media-based identification of drug use and abuse for mental health, as well as other micro and macro factors related to mental health. The methodology can be extended to other diseases and provides a potential for discovering evidence for forensics toxicology from social and digital media.

Published: February 2023

Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) has been investigated as a cancer stem cell (CSC) marker, and plays critical roles in tumor malignant progression. The splicing variants are overexpressed in many carcinomas, especially squamous cell carcinomas, and play critical roles in the promotion of tumor metastasis, the acquisition of CSC properties, and resistance to treatments. Therefore, each CD44 variant (CD44v) function and distribution in carcinomas should be clarified for the establishment of novel tumor diagnosis and therapy. In this study, we immunized mice with a CD44 variant (CD44v3−10) ectodomain and established various anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). One of the established clones (C44Mab-34; IgG1, kappa) recognized a peptide which covers both variant 7 and 8-encoded region, indicating that C44Mab-34 is a specific mAb for CD44v7/8. Moreover, C44Mab-34 reacted with CD44v3–10-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO) cells or oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell line (HSC-3) by flow cytometry. The apparent KD of C44Mab-34 for CHO/CD44v3–10 and HSC-3 was 1.4 × 10−9 M and 3.2 × 10−9 M, respectively. C44Mab-34 could detect CD44v3–10 in western blotting, and stained the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded OSCC in immunohistochemistry. These results indicate that C44Mab-34 is useful for detecting CD44v7/8 in various applications, and expected for the application of OSCC diagnosis and therapy.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common complication of non-kidney solid organ transplant (NKSOT). Identifying predisposing factors is crucial for an early approach and correct referral to nephrology. Methods: This is a single-center retrospective observational study of a cohort of CKD patients under follow-up in Nephrology Department between 2010 to 2020. Statistical analysis was performed between all the risk factors and four dependent variables: end-stage renal disease (ESKD), increased serum creatinine ≥50%, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and death in pre-transplant, peri-transplant and post-transplant period. Results: 74 patients were studied (7 heart transplant, 34 liver transplants, and 33 lung transplant). Patients who were not followed-up by nephrology in the pre-transplant (p<0.027), peri-transplant (p<0.046), and the longest time until outpatient clinic follow-up (HR 1,032) were associated with a higher risk of creatinine increase ≥50%. Receiving a lung transplant conferred higher risk than liver or hear transplant for developing a creatinine increase ≥50% and ESKD. Peri-transplant mechanical ventilation, peri-transplant and post-transplant anticalcineurin overdose, nephrotoxic and the number of hospital admissions were significantly associated to present a creatinine increase ≥50% and develop ESKD. Conclusion: An early follow-up by the nephrology department was associated with a decrease in the worsening of renal function.

Published: February 2023

Metal additive manufacturing technologies have large potential for future use in load bearing aerospace applications, requiring a deeper understanding of mechanical performance and influencing factors. The objective of this study is to manufacture fatigue specimens by laser powder bed fusion with comparable bulk and different as-built surface quality (without post-processing). This goal was pursued by using identical bulk/hatch scan parameters while varying contour scan parameters. The bulk quality was evaluated by density measurements according to Archimedes’ principle and tensile testing. The surfaces were investigated using the optical fringe projection method and surface quality was assessed by the areal surface texture parameters Sa (arithmetic mean height) and Sk (core height, derived from material ratio curve). The resulting mean values of max (ultimate tensile strength) were between 375 and 405 MPa, which is a variation of roughly 8%, for seven different surface conditions. It could be confirmed that the influence of contour scan variation on bulk quality is insignificant for the assessed samples.

Published: February 2023

It is important to add second- or third-phase materials to improve the physical, mechanical, and biodegradable properties of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. A unique hybrid bio-nanocomposite was fabricated using microparticle cellulose powder from wastepaper with a polypropylene (PP) polymeric matrix using a low-shear chaotic mixing method. A small amount (2-5%) of layered micro clay was also added to investigate the hybrid effect of nanocomposite fabrication on the mechanical properties. A low-shear chaotic melt mixing method induces the formation of nano cellulose structures and layered clay nanoparticles by via exfoliation. The nanoparticles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Mechanical properties such as the flexural strength (FS) and tensile strength (TS) were investigated using an Izod impact tester (IZ), and a dynamic mechanical testing analyzer (DMTA). Further, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the microstructure of the nanocomposite. In addition, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were conducted to investigate the crystallinity and degradation of the samples, respectively. The addition of wastepaper cellulose powder below 2.5 wt. % did not improve the mechanical properties, however, improvements were observed when more than 5wt.% wastepaper cellulose powder was added. With the addition of a small amount of nano-clay, the mechanical properties were significantly improved, and a synergistic effect could be noticed. The observed results were then compared with PP-clay nanocomposites used in automotive industries to replace cellulose nanocomposites. The application areas can also cover lead production in paper cups and vacuum foaming.

It was the aim of this study to compare the ratio of salbutamol and its major metabolite salbutamol-4’-O-sulfate as well as the quantity excreted renally after oral and inhalative administration. Additionally, the excretion pattern after application of racemic salbutamol opposed to the pure enantiomer levosalbutamol was evaluated. For quantitation of the sulfonated metabolite of salbutamol, reference material was synthesized and characterized by NMR and HRMS. Urine samples were analyzed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Salbutamol is mainly metabolized by sulfotransferase 1A3 (SULT1A3), which is most abundantly found in the jejunum. A high first pass effect occurs upon oral administration, which leads to a higher amount of salbutamol-4’-O-sulfate in urine compared to unchanged salbutamol excreted within the first hour post administration. Thus, when administered orally, the proportion of metabolite to total salbutamol was higher than for inhalative administration in the early urinary excretion. Levosalbutamol is the favored enantiomer of SULT1A3 and therefore metabolized at a higher rate whereas racemic salbutamol shows a reduced proportion between metabolite and parent compound. The amount of sulfoconjugate was found higher than that of the parent compound for all urine samples except for those excreted in the first hour after inhalative administration.
A Theorem on Separated Transformations of Basis Vectors of Polynomial Space and Its Applications in Special Polynomials and Related Lie Algebra
Authors: Amiri Manouchehr
Published: February 2023

The present paper introduces a method of basis transformation of vector fields that is specifically applicable to polynomials space and differential equations with certain polynomials solutions such as Hermite, Laguerre and Legendre polynomials. The method based on separated transformation of vector space basis by a set of operators that are equivalent to the formal basis transformation and connected to it by linear combination with projection operators. Applying the Forbenius covariants yields a general method that incorporates the Rodrigues formula as a special case in polynomial space. Using the Lie algebra modules, specifically , on polynomial space results in isomorphic algebras whose Cartan sub-algebras are Hermite, Laguerre and Legendre differential operators. Commutation relations of these algebras and Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula gives new formulas for special polynomials
