los derechos (macro) sociales del conflicto a los derechos (micro) sociales de la resiliencia en el paradigma constitucional del orden global de mercado: nuevas formas de explotación por desvalorización material del trabajo
Authors: Lasa López Ainhoa
Published: March 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre las causas del fin del Trabajo asalariado como sujeto político, o, en otras palabras, sobre el perenne proceso de la irrevocabilidad del trabajo asalariado materialmente desvalorizado que comenzara en la década de los 80. A tal fin, el análisis se sitúa en el marco de la Teoría Crítica del Derecho Constitucional del Conflicto. Esto implica reconducir el planteamiento a las relaciones Estado-Derecho y Constitución. Concretamente, si la constitucionalización del Trabajo representaba la juridificación por el texto fundamental del conflicto redistributivo determinante de las nuevas funciones asumidas por la forma de Estado social y su Constitución, el nuevo paradigma constitucional del orden jurídico del mercado se materializa en torno a la centralidad incondicionada del vínculo económico del mercado que tiene en el Derecho de la Unión a su forma jurídica más acabada. La principal función del nuevo orden constitucional es deshacer el conflicto, situando la estrategia de la acumulación por la acumulación como único vínculo de legitimidad del paradigma constitucional del mercado. La confrontación entre paradigmas constitucionales resulta especialmente visible en los momentos de crisis sistémica y de las nuevas fases del capital global. La desnaturalización del trabajo a mero factor funcional a los intereses del capital global, junto con la reproducción de nuevas formas de trabajo gratuito bajo la fase de digitalización del capital, ha dado lugar a propuestas (como la Renta Básica Universal) que tienen en común revertir los espacios cada vez más amplios de las nuevas formas de explotación por desvalorización laboral. No obstante, la mayoría de estos planteamientos ahondan en la desnaturalización de la subjetivización del conflicto, de las luchas de clases, cuando la actual fase del paradigma constitucional del mercado no ha generado, precisamente, el fin del trabajo asalariado. Por el contrario, se ha acentuado su vigencia, generando como cuestión central cómo recuperar la unidad del Trabajo como sujeto político y, por ende, el papel estructural de las clases trabajadoras en los procesos de reproducción del capital global.

Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase 65-kilodalton isoform (GAD-65) is associated with cocaine induced limbic encephalopathy mimicking GAD-65 limbic encephalopathy in humans. A 20-year-old white female presented with a clinical picture of a limbic encephalopathy and a positive ANA. She has a hypermobility disorder with dysautonomia with POTS. Her workup revealed a GAD-65 antibody greater than 250 nmol/L, a normal lumbar puncture, and a normal brain MRI. Her GAD-65 associated limbic encephalopathy was treated with IVIG 2 g per kilogram per month. She received three treatments with no improvement. Due to arthralgias, a soft tissue rheumatic pain, she was referred to pain management. The patient admitted to using cocaine. Her IVIG was discontinued. A repeat test for GAD-65 antibody remained elevated. After a stint in drug rehabilitation and cessation of cocaine her symptoms of limbic encephalopathy abated and GAD-65 normalized. This is the 1st case report of GAD-65 antibody mimicking cocaine induced limbic encephalopathy. While GAD65 related autoimmune neuropathies are rare, one must consider cocaine toxicity as a mimic of both autoimmunity and immune neuropathies, including the spectrum of GAD-65-related disorders.
Impact of incentive-based game therapy and transporting children on toy vehicle to operation theatre on reducing anxiety prior to induction of anesthesia
Authors: Ahmed Bilal Akhtar  , Nabeel Najeeb Hammad , Ghafoor Ateeq Ur Rehman
Published: March 2023

Objective: To see if transporting paediatric patents to operation theatres using a battery-operated vehicle decreases preoperative anxiety and reduce incidents of postoperative adverse events.
Method: The study was conducted from May to August 2019 at the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised paediatric patients aged 3-5 years assessed as American Society of Anaesthesiologists grade I and II who were scheduled to undergo elective intrathecal chemotherapy under general anaesthesia. The subjects were randomised into intervention group A and control group B. Patients in group A were part of an incentive-based game in the holding bay area and were transported to the operation theatre using a battery-operated toy vehicle. Those in group B watched a pre-decided cartoon on television screen in the holding bay and were transported further using wheel chair. Induction of anaesthesia was done in the presence of guardians in both the groups. Patient anxiety was assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale in holding bay area T0, prior to induction of anaesthesia T1, and postoperative anaesthesia-related recovery T2. Data was analysed using SPSS 22.
Results: Of the 36 patients, 18(50%) were in group A; 12(66.6%) boys and 6(33.3%) girls with mean age 4.01±0.48 years. The remaining 18(50%) subjects were in group B; 13(72.2%) boys and 5(27.8%) girls with mean age 3.96 years. The difference in anxiety between the groups at T0 was non-significant (p=0.73). At T1 and T2, the scores were significantly lower group A compared to group B (p<0.05). Group A patients had better bag mask ventilation compliance at induction and remarkably less incidence of hypoxia, bronchospasm, postoperative agitation and early discharge from PACU.
Conclusion: Incentive-based game therapy decreased anxiety among paediatric patients preoperatively, made them more compliant and improved postoperative recovery.

The Use of Information and Communication Technology in English Foreign Language Learning
Authors: Otieno Polycarp
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of ICT in English foreign language learning.

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The findings revealed that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the use of ICT in English foreign language learning. Preliminary empirical review reveals that ICT presents a powerful learning environment for learners in the classroom. Many countries make investments in ICT integration as ICT is viewed as an effective tool for renewing educational practice in any field. Because teachers are the main characters to employ ICT in educational contexts, they should be trained in how ICT can be integrated into the teaching process.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Cognitive Load theory, the Interactionist theory and the Constructivist theory may be used to anchor future studies in the use of ICT in English foreign language learning. This study will provide some insights to instructors, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders in the integration of ICT in the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language to produce better results.
Establishing a Therapeutic Alliance With Youth Who Are Economically Disadvantaged: Misperceptions and Missed Opportunities
Authors: Mann Shelly , Collins Sandra
Published: March 2023

Recognition of social class as a cultural construct is slowly emerging in the counselling literature. There are prominent social discourses that blame poor individuals for their disadvantage instead of considering the structural causes of poverty. School counsellors must avoid internalizing these beliefs and marginalizing students unintentionally. Social class is often invisible, so youth who are economically disadvantaged may go unnoticed and so may not receive the support they need to overcome systemic barriers and to experience success. The authors invite counsellors to examine and challenge their own biases and assumptions regarding individuals who live in poverty and to work within schools to provide culturally sensitive and socially just leadership. They propose that counsellors adopt the working-class values of openness and honest communication in order to facilitate the formation of therapeutic alliances with youth facing economic disadvantage. The authors highlight salient points from the current literature in order to raise class consciousness and propose advocacy at the micro, meso, and macro levels. They also invite readers to engage in critical reflection on their own beliefs and attitudes about youth who are economically disadvantaged as a foundation for their continued cultural competency development.
The Leadership approach of Chinese Entrepreneurs in Africa: A Case Study of TECNO
Authors: Dong Daijun
Published: March 2023

The definition of leadership, as popularly conceived, comes from the West. In Chinese culture, the term ‘leadership’ is mainly reflected in the Chinese ‘Confucian culture’. Based on the analysis of the African market of Chinese enterprise ‘TRANSSION’ and its subsidiary TECNO, this article examines entrepreneurial leadership on the basis of Confucian culture. This article discusses the differences in entrepreneurial leadership in the context of traditional Chinese leadership culture vis a vis Western leadership approaches. It argues that the success of Chinese multinationals lies in a unique oriental wisdom that combines modern entrepreneurial ideas with traditional Confucian culture, and continuous improvement and upgrade of corporate practice. Through an analysis of the activities of TECNO and the company’s engagement with the African societies where it operates, this paper sheds light on the leadership of multinational companies in different contexts and the outcomes of their activities.
Diaspora 'leadership' in post conflict societies: Understanding diaspora influence through remittances in Liberia
Authors: Dipeolu Adeoti
Published: March 2023

While they are often considered as ‘outsiders’ or ‘far removed’ from their contexts, the reality is diaspora populations are, in fact, often intertwined in and significant to what happens in their home countries – this is especially true in many post-conflict contexts. Existing studies of the diaspora often narrowly puts them as playing two distinct roles in their homelands, either as: promoters of peace; or contributors to the perpetration of conflict. Meanwhile studies (and practice) of peacebuilding and the traditional liberal approach all but exclude them in the narrative. There is, therefore, a gap between these narratives. Additionally, thinking in terms of leadership and leadership studies, the role of the diaspora is usually not automatically thought of as that of a ‘leader’, as leadership in the traditional sense has often focused on those occupying positions of hierarchal power or indeed the individual themselves (this approach and understanding of their (lack of leadership) role is again also seen in the study of practice of peacebuilding). However, taking leadership from a relational theory perspective and adopting a leadership as process approach to leadership offers a fuller understanding of how diaspora interact with, build and sustain (or not) relationships with their homeland contexts in the quest for peace. This commentary adopts a leadership as process approach. It looks at the relationship between the Liberian diaspora and their homeland context to highlight how the diaspora attempt to influence local developmental and peacebuilding processes through the use of remittances, and the dynamics of this relationship therei

O FORTALECIMENTO DE UMA CULTURA DE POLÍCIA PREVENTIVA COMO ESTRATÉGIA SUSTENTÁVEL PARA A MELHORIA DO DESEMPENHO OPERACIONAL NA POLÍCIA MILITAR DO PARANÁ
Authors: Denkewski Wladimir
Published: March 2023

A Constituição Federal de 1988 trouxe alterações nas atribuições das polícias militares no sistema de segurança pública. A consolidação dessas alterações para o exercício da integralidade do poder de polícia ostensiva, entre outros motivos, ainda não foi efetivada por falta de legislação infraconstitucional. Neste cenário de fragilidade jurídica, continua a ser adotado o modelo reativo de policiamento. Contudo, sabe-se que esse modelo, apesar de trazer reduções na criminalidade, não o faz de forma duradoura. Há necessidade de se adotar uma postura proativa para a busca de informações que identifiquem o problema e possibilitem analisar suas causas para a adoção de estratégias de enfrentamento adequadas. Para apoiar o processo decisório, algumas ferramentas estão disponíveis. No entanto, percebe-se o uso inadequado ou a descontinuidade do uso dessas ferramentas e da metodologia para a gestão de desempenho operacional. Diante desse cenário, no presente trabalho, busca-se responder à seguinte questão: Como a Polícia Militar do Paraná (PMPR) pode melhorar seu desempenho operacional de forma sustentável, considerando o cenário atual? A lente epistemológica utilizada nesta pesquisa é a do interpretativismo construcionista, com uma abordagem qualitativa e um método abdutivo, baseado em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Como resultado, verificou-se a necessidade de ser incentivada uma postura proativa em todos os níveis. Além disso, conteúdos que priorizem ações preventivas voltadas para a resolução de problemas, o exercício da integralidade do poder de polícia ostensiva e das ferramentas de apoio à gestão podem influenciar no fortalecimento de uma cultura organizacional que favoreça a sustentabilidade das estratégias adotadas.

Shaping and negotiating entrepreneurial selves in academic entrepreneurship education
Authors: Laalo Hanna , Koskinen Henri , Stenholm Pekka , Siivonen Päivi
Published: March 2023

Entrepreneurship education (EE) appears to be a way to extend the market orientation in academic education into pedagogical arrangements and students’ self-understanding. This we argue based on a case study of a startup entrepreneurship course designed and promoted by the international Junior Achievement -network and organised co-operatively by four Finnish higher education institutions. We examine how the course practices aim to shape students’ entrepreneurial mind-sets and behaviour. We are interested in how students internalise these practices and, specifically, how they challenge and resist the expectations placed on them. To answer these questions, we analyse the course materials and students’ reflections from a governmentality perspective. We perceive EE as a governing technology which intervenes with the formation of subjectivity. Our study contributes to critical EE studies by showing how the pedagogical practices of the startup course utilise market logic in attempting to make students autonomous and proactive entrepreneurial subjects. Students seem to have internalised the favoured subjectivity, but they also subtly break the expectations when given a chance. Based on the study, we argue that applying market logic in the pedagogical practices of academic education tends to disregard and ignore the value of abstract theoretical cultivation and redefines the roles...
Twitter as accidental authority

This chapter explores Twitter’s moderation of authoritative sources and
their audience’s claims concerning COVID-19 treatments, transmission
and prevention techniques. It examines how they diverge over time,
and how Twitter intervenes in resulting debates via content moderation
guidelines and techniques. It argues that as public health organizations
and heads of state struggle to maintain consensus among themselves
and with their Twitter audiences on these issues Twitter exceptionally
steps in as an authority in its own right. It does so by flagging, suspending
and deleting contents, including those of authoritative sources that
threaten to disrupt a common understanding of the virus and vital health

The Puzzle of Cross-Provincial Activism in China: From Relational Dynamics to State Strategies: From Relational Dynamics to State Strategies
Authors: Chen Xi , Yang Kai
Published: March 2023

Despite the government's enormous efforts to forestall widespread protests, China still witnessed many cross-provincial protests in the post-1989 era. How did Chinese citizens find the opportunity to stage cross-provincial protests in a political environment highly hostile to coordination beyond the community level? By tackling this puzzle, this study illuminates the Chinese state's sophisticatedly differentiated strategies for coping with collective protests. Rather than attribute state leaders' threat perceptions to static dimensions of protest movements, we posit that dynamic dimensions such as the pathway of scale shift often play a more important role. We propose a typology of pathways through which local protests spread across provincial borders-top-down, outside-in, and bottom-up—and elucidate how the interaction between the pathways and the nature of solidarity shaped government perception and strategy. Besides addressing an important puzzle in China and enhancing our understanding of the political environment in high-capacity authoritarian regimes, this study also underscores how an investigation of dynamic dimensions can provide new insights into the government's calculations and strategies for managing popular protests
MACHINE LEARNING, COMO FERRAMENTA NA CONCESSÃO DE CRÉDITO E CONTROLE DE INADIMPLÊNCIA

Published: March 2023

O cenário econômico mundial considerando os diversos adventos é cercado por constantes oscilações e incertezas. Nesse contexto, as instituições financeiras, desempenham um papel impulsionador na economia global. Porém, essas são envoltas de risco inerentes as operações, principalmente a da inadimplência. Dessa forma, entende-se que o crédito tem um papel fundamental na economia e impacta diretamente o crescimento e desenvolvimento econômico de uma sociedade. Até a décadas atrás, o processo para concessão de um crédito era mais simples, tinha-se menos controle e armazenamento de dados, e muitas vezes as relações comerciai baseavam-se na confiança e reputação. Porém, com o aumento populacional, e a grande quantidade de dados e informações, os processos foram sendo restruturados transformando-se nos moldes atuais do ciclo de crédito, o qual compreende a fase de concessão, condução, cobrança e recuperação. Dentro desse modelo, desenvolvou-se diversas ferramentas com base em dados estatísticos, que auxiliam nas tomadas de decisões para análises manuais e/ou automatizadas. No entanto, devido as novas e rápidas transformações que impactam o cenário mundial, em decorrência de questões sociais, econômicas, civis e até mesmo sanitárias, como foi o caso da COVID/19, surge a necessidade de buscar novas ferramentas, que otimizem o tempo de reposta e tenha maior grau de assertividade nas análise de concessões de crédito tendo como base, o perfil do tomador. Nesse contexto, vem ganhando espaço os estudo que envolvem a robotização e a maior utilização da Inteligência artificial, como ocorre com o Machine Learning, ou aprendizado de máquina, capaz de permitir que o robô através de uma base de dados aprenda com a experiência, proporcionando a tomada de decisões mais assertivas via sistema automatizados.

Çalışmada ilkokulda ebeveynler ve çocuklarıyla gerçekleştirilen zeka oyunları etkinliğinin ebeveynlerin okul algılarına ve katılımlarına etkisini ve ebeveynlerin okul algısı, katılımı ve zeka oyunları hakkındaki görüşlerini incelemek amaçlanmaktadır. Karma yöntemin açıklayıcı deseninden faydalanılan çalışmanın nicel kısmında ön-son test kontrol grupsuz desenden, nitel kısmında fenomenoloji deseninden faydalanılmıştır. Uygun durum örneklemesi yolu ile seçilen 15 ebeveyne çalışma öncesinde ve sonrasında Akyıldız ve Yurtbakan, (2020) tarafından geliştirilen “Ebeveyn okul algısı ve katılımı ölçeği” uygulanmış ve analizinde Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testine başvurulmuştur. Ayrıca ebeveynlerin okul algısı, katılımı ve zeka oyunları etkinliği hakkındaki düşüncelerini belirlemek için görüşme formu kullanılmış, analizinde betimsel analizden yararlanılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, zeka oyunları etkinliğinin ölçeğin ebeveyn gelişimi ve aile katılımı boyutunda son test lehine anlamlı farklılık yarattığı tespit edilmiştir. Ebeveynlerle yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda ise ebeveynlerin; okulu çocuklarını eğiten bir yer olarak gördüklerini, okullardan çocuklarının bilişsel gelişimlerini destekleme beklentisi içinde olduklarını ifade ettikleri görülmüştür. Genelde çocuğunun durumunu öğrenmek için okula gelen ebeveynlerin, okul ziyaretine engel bir durumun olmadığı, zeka oyunları etkinliğinin okul ziyaret sıklıklarını artırdığı sonuçlarının yanında ebeveynler, zeka oyunlarının çocuklarının zihinsel gelişimlerine katkı sağladığını belirtmişlerdir.
Version 8 IMK–IAA MIPAS ozone profiles: nominal observation mode

Abstract. A new global O3 data product retrieved from the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) spectra with the IMK–IAA MIPAS data processor has been released.
These data are based on ESA version 8 recalibrated radiance spectra
with improved temporal stability. Changes in the level-2 processing with respect to previous data versions include the following:
(1) the retrievals use improved temperature data and thus suffer less from the propagation of related errors.
(2) The background continuum is now considered up to 58 km.
(3) A priori information is now used to constrain the retrieval of the
radiance offset. (4) Water vapour is fitted jointly with ozone to minimize
the impact of interfering water lines.
(5) A more adequate regularization has been chosen.
(6) Ozone absorption lines in the MIPAS A band (685–980 cm−1) are used almost exclusively because of inconsistencies in spectroscopic data in the MIPAS AB band (1010–1180 cm−1). Only at altitudes above 50 km, where A-band ozone lines do not provide sufficient information, are ozone lines in the MIPAS AB band used. (7) Temperature-adjusted climatologies of vibrational temperatures of O3 and CO2 are considered to account for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium radiation. Ozone errors are estimated to be less than 10 % in the altitude range 20–50 km.
The error budget is dominated by the spectroscopic errors, followed by
the uncertainty of the instrumental line shape function, the gain calibration error, and the spectral noise. The error contribution of interfering gases is almost negligible. The vertical resolution depends on altitude and atmospheric conditions. In 2002–2004 it varies between 2.5 km at the lowest altitudes and 6 km at 70 km, while in 2005–2012 it covers 2 to 5.5 km in the same altitude range. The horizontal smearing in terms of the full width at half maximum of the horizontal component of the two-dimensional averaging kernel matrix is smaller than, or approximately equal to, the distance between two subsequent limb scans at all altitudes.
This implies that the horizontal resolution is sampling-limited or optimal, respectively. An additional data version is made available that is free of the formal a priori information and thus more user-friendly for certain applications. Version 8 ozone results show a better consistency between the two MIPAS measurement periods.
They seem to be more realistic than preceding data versions in
terms of long-term stability, as at least a part of the drift is corrected.
Further, the representation of elevated stratopause situations is improved.
Evaluation of TROPOMI operational standard NO2 column retrievals (from version 1.3 to 2.4) with OMNO2 and QA4ECV OMI observations over China
Authors: Gu Jianbin , Liang Xiaoxia , Song Shipeng , Tian Yanfang , Chen Liangfu , Tao Jinhua
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The TROPOMI satellite instrument plays a key role in nitrogen dioxide (NO2) monitoring on account of its unprecedented spatial resolution and stable quality of data. However, since 2019, TROPOMI operational NO2 retrieval has improved and updated in three versions (1.4, 2.2 and 2.4), with significant impact on retrieved NO2 column. Thus, studies including both TROPOMI NO2 data before and after the activation of these versions could show artificial jumps. Moreover, up to date evaluation result of TROPOMI NO2 data in current version 2.4 is not yet well documented in the literature. Therefore, in this work, we focus on evaluating TROPOMI's capability to detect NO2 under the different retrieval version conditions, by comparing with OMNO2 data and QA4ECV OMI data over China. We find a 38 % increase of tropospheric NO2 in version 1.4 due to improved FRESCO-wide cloud retrieval, and a 14 % increase in version 2.2 due to adjusted surface albedo for cloud-free scenes. We show that the upgrade to version 2.4 with new DLER surface albedo, led to an increase by 3 x 1014 molecules cm-2 of tropospheric NO2 over vegetation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that TROPOMI data shows strongest tropospheric NO2 seasonal variation compared to OMNO2 data and QA4ECV OMI data, and this seasonal effect was enhanced with the tropospheric NO2 retrieval version upgrades. Additionally, we examine for the first time the change of TROPOMI AMFs (air mass factors) in the different versions, and based on it, we arrive at a correction for the underestimation of TROPOMI NO2 column in previous versions. We also find a 33 % overestimation of NO2 reduction during the COVID-19 lockdown over China when using TROPOMI data before and after the activation of the NO2 version 1.4.
Evaluating a global soil moisture dataset from a multitask model (GSM3 v1.0) with potential applications for crop threats
Authors: Liu Jiangtao , Hughes David , Rahmani Farshid , Lawson Kathryn , Shen Chaopeng
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Climate change threatens our ability to grow food for an ever-increasing population. There is a
need for high-quality soil moisture predictions in under-monitored regions
like Africa. However, it is unclear if soil moisture processes are globally
similar enough to allow our models trained on available in situ data to
maintain accuracy in unmonitored regions. We present a multitask long
short-term memory (LSTM) model that learns simultaneously from global
satellite-based data and in situ soil moisture data. This model is evaluated in
both random spatial holdout mode and continental holdout mode (trained on
some continents, tested on a different one). The model compared favorably to
current land surface models, satellite products, and a candidate machine
learning model, reaching a global median correlation of 0.792 for the random
spatial holdout test. It behaved surprisingly well in Africa and Australia,
showing high correlation even when we excluded their sites from the training
set, but it performed relatively poorly in Alaska where rapid changes are
occurring. In all but one continent (Asia), the multitask model in the
worst-case scenario test performed better than the soil moisture active
passive (SMAP) 9 km product. Factorial analysis has shown that the LSTM model's
accuracy varies with terrain aspect, resulting in lower performance for dry
and south-facing slopes or wet and north-facing slopes. This knowledge
helps us apply the model while understanding its limitations. This model is
being integrated into an operational agricultural assistance application
which currently provides information to 13 million African farmers.
Late Holocene pteropod distribution across the base of the south-eastern Mediterranean margin: the importance of the > 63 µm fraction

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Euthecosomata pteropods were analysed in core sediments
collected
in the framework of the 2016 EUROFLEETS2 SEMSEEP cruise, offshore of Israel,
in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. The investigated cores were retrieved in a
deep-sea coral area at 690 m depth, an actively methane-seeping pockmark
area at 1038 m depth, and a deep-sea channel area at 1310 m water depth.
We
identified and documented the pteropod species belonging to the families
Heliconoididae, Limacinidae, Creseidae, Cavoliniidae, Cliidae, and Hyalocylidae
and to some heteropods. Our study highlights the importance of investigating
pteropods in the size fractions > 63 µm instead of
the
> 125 µm only. In particular, neglecting the small
size
fraction may result in a remarkable (up to 50 %–60 %) underestimation of the
relative abundance of the epipelagic species Creseis acicula and
Creseis conica and the mesopelagic
species Heliconoides inflatus. This may significantly affect
palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.
The observed presence of tropical species supports the suggestion that the
eastern Mediterranean is a refugium for these species. This study provides
a
basic benchmark for the late Holocene evolution of pteropod and heteropod distribution over 5800–5300 cal BP across the base of the south-eastern Levantine margin.

Abstract. In the present study, Fourier theory is applied to establish the expression of rigid-body poses of a spherical four-bar crank slider rigid-body guidance mechanism. According to an analysis of the harmonic components of the trajectory curve and rigid-body rotation angle, it has a certain relationship with the geometric parameters of the mechanism. On this basis, the rigid-body poses are normalized by preprocessing. Then, the rotation angle of the curve around the y axis and z axis is determined, respectively. The theoretical formulas used for calculating the real sizes
and the installation position parameters of the desired spherical four-bar
crank slider rigid-body guidance mechanism are established. Besides this, a
genetic optimization algorithm and theoretical formulas are applied to solve the dimensional synthesis of motion generation for the spherical four-bar crank slider mechanism. The effectiveness of the proposed method is
illustrated by an example. The maximum Euclidean distance error of the rigid-body position of the results with the highest similarity is 0.0086, and the
average Euclidean distance error is 0.0044. The maximum error of the rigid-body orientation is 0.0179, and the average error is 0.0065.

Introduction: Supportive care models considering inclusivity and community services to improve integrated care for cancer survivors are limited. In this case study, we described the implementation of a multidisciplinary care model employing routine distress screening and embedded integrated care pathways to integrate care across disciplines and care sectors, while remaining inclusive of the multi-ethnic and multilingual population in Singapore. We reported implementation outcomes after 18 months of implementation.
Description: We reviewed the model’s process indicators from September 2019 to February 2021 at the largest public ambulatory cancer centre. Outcomes assessed included penetration, fidelity to screening protocol, and feasibility in three aspects – inclusiveness of different ethnic and language groups, responsiveness to survivors reporting high distress, and types of community service referrals.
Discussion/conclusion: We elucidated opportunities to promote access to community services and inclusivity. Integration of community services from tertiary settings should be systematic through mutually beneficial educational and outreach initiatives, complemented by their inclusion in integrated care pathways to encourage systematic referrals and care coordination. A hybrid approach to service delivery is crucial in ensuring inclusivity while providing flexibility towards external changes such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Future work should explore using telehealth to bolster inclusiveness and advance community care integration.

La evaluación del estado nutricional en los niños menores de 6 meses depende principalmente del tipo de lactancia empleado. Objetivo: Relacionar el estado nutricional y el tipo de lactancia empleado en niños de 0 a 6 meses de edad. Metodología: Estudio correlacional transversal, en el Centro de Salud N.º 1-Ibarra durante el mes de marzo del 2022, se seleccionó bajo criterios específicos a157 lactantes, entre 0 a 6 meses. Se recolectó datos correspondientes a la madre y al niño mediante una encuesta dirigida, el estado nutricional se evaluó mediante las curvas de crecimiento y la toma del peso y longitud. Los datos se recolectaron en SPSS versión 26 y a través de la prueba exacta de Fisher se estableció la relación de las variables. Resultados: el empleo de lactancia materna exclusiva presentó relación con la normalidad (85%) y obesidad (0.9%). La lactancia mixta se relacionó con obesidad (9,5%), riesgo de sobrepeso (19 %) y normalidad (57,1%). Contrastando, la lactancia artificial presentó relación con la desnutrición crónica (50%). Conclusiones: Existe relación entre la evaluación nutricional de normalidad y lactancia materna exclusiva, seguido por el riesgo de sobrepeso y  besidad atribuidos al uso de lactancia mixta, finalizando con la desnutrición crónica y lactancia artificial. La lactancia materna exclusiva es la más empleada. El inicio de las actividades laborales o estudiantiles y patologías mamarias son los principales motivos que impiden el empleo de lactancia materna exclusiva.

RUSSIAN TERRORISM ̶ A REAL DANGER TO EUROPEAN SECURITY
Authors: MĂNĂILESCU Iulian-Constantin
Published: March 2023

Today, amid the imperial dream, in a context where Russia is in the midst of a territorial war (the one in Ukraine) carried out with hybrid means, coupled with a recent history of Russian terrorist attacks of several types, the question of an imminent danger to the security of the democratic European region may be raised. Thus, the analysis starts from the hypothesis that Europe is facing a new terrorist danger promoted by Russia, developed against the background of actions to destabilise the democratic order through hybrid warfare, with great risk to regional security. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to identify Russia’s terrorist potential at present. Its subsumed objectives are to analyse the three growing dangers that build Russia’s terrorist potential. The first threat is the turbulent history of terrorism in this country. The second danger relates to the existence of a military group that has carried out several terrorist actions outside Russian territory, the Wagner group. The third danger is the activation of Islamist terrorism in Ukraine, by enlisting in the Russian army and training radicalized fighters from Muslim countries under Russian rule. The main research method is documentation. Studies, press articles and statistics on the subject were analysed, on the basis of which conclusions were drawn.
