A Study on the Attribution of Ownership of Auctioned Real Estate when the Auction Procedure is invalidated in the Rehabilitation Procedure after full Payment of the Sale Price in Real Estate Auction
Authors:   Legal Research Institute of Chonnam National University, Jung Young-Jin , Kim Ja-Young
Published: June 2023

In practice, it is often difficult to achieve the purpose of the rehabilitation procedure by ignoring the uniqueness of the rehabilitation procedure and applying the provisions on the Civil Execution Act by analogy. A typical example is a case where the buyer paid the sale price in full and acquired ownership of the auction real estate under Article 135 of the Civil Execution Act, but the above auction procedure was suspended due to the decision to commence the rehabilitation procedure under the Debtor Rehabilitation Act before the end of the dividend procedure. In this situation, if there is a decision to approve the rehabilitation plan after the decision to commence the rehabilitation procedure, the auction procedure is retroactively invalidated. The question is whether the buyer still acquires ownership of the auction object, if the auction procedure is retroactively invalidated, If auctioned real estate is needed for the debtor's rehabilitation, the attribution of ownership of the auction object has a great influence on the success of the rehabilitation procedure. Currently, there is no Supreme Court ruling on the attribution of ownership of the auction object, causing a lot of confusion in the practice of rehabilitation procedures. In light of the provisions of the Debtor Rehabilitation Act and the purpose of the rehabilitation procedure, this paper argued that it is not appropriate for the buyer to acquire ownership of the auction object.

In this review, we discuss the diagnosis of acute chest pain with a focus on clinical symptoms and the initial examination.
In the Era of ChatGPT, Can Medical Artificial Intelligence Replace the Doctor?
Authors: Kim Seokhwi
Published: June 2023

Whether artificial intelligence (AI) can replace the role of doctors has seriously been discussed since the appearance of Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT). Unlike past expectations that limit the role of AI in the medical field, doctors seem to both admire and be threatened by recent advances in AI models. Because previously developed and approved AI models have been managed and reviewed by medical experts during the preparation, refining, annotation, and verification of data, those systems can be considered to be based on evidence-based medicine. However, the current version of the ChatGPT model derives the most meaningful results from unverified open data. This approach enhances the accessibility to new information but is significantly different from the methodology of evidence-based medicine. Like all AI models developed to date, ChatGPT needs a system that can be rigorously verified and regulated by doctors to facilitate its use in the medical field.

La lente formation du « barreau français » (1660-1830)
Authors: Leuwers Hervé
Published: June 2023

Parce qu’elle s’est élaborée à partir d’un héritage antique, l’avocature dispose d’une culture commune dès la fin du Moyen Âge. Dans la France des XVII e  et XVIII e  siècles, ces caractères partagés se renforcent par la professionnalisation, l’harmonisation institutionnelle des ordres et le renforcement d’un droit commun du barreau, qui n’est pas le fruit du seul travail des avocats et de leurs structures professionnelles ; l’émergence d’un « barreau français » a également été favorisée par l’État et les tribunaux. Avec l’Empire et la Restauration, la construction nationale du barreau connaît un deuxième temps fort ; dans un premier temps, c’est l’État qui s’impose comme son acteur essentiel.
Les structures d’exercice de la profession d’avocat
Authors: Ziegler Olivier
Published: June 2023

Depuis 70 ans, les avocats peuvent créer des structures d’exercice pour exercer en commun la profession d’avocats. Depuis 1990, la grande innovation réside dans la possibilité pour les avocats de structurer leur activité au moyen de sociétés commerciales particulières, les sociétés d’exercice libéral (SEL), dont l’objectif est la préservation de l’indépendance et de la déontologie des professionnels qui exercent en son sein. En 2015, les avocats sont autorisés à avoir recours aux sociétés commerciales de droit commun (SA, SAS, SARL), sauf celles qui confèrent à leur associé la qualité de commerçant (SNC et SCA). Ce dispositif vient d’être réformé par la très récente ordonnance no 2023-77 du 8 février 2023 qui soulève la difficile distinction entre les SEL et les sociétés de droit commun. L’étude de cette distinction met en lumière la caractéristique de ces sociétés, l’exercice en commun d’une profession libérale réglementée, dont le régime juridique est posé par des règles professionnelles d’ordre public
La transidentité d’âge : pour une fondation du concept d’age-queer
Authors: Schoch de Neuforn Sylvie
Published: June 2023

Cet article invite à déconstruire les stéréotypes liés à la condition de « vieux » en opposition à « jeune », et à trouver d’autres modèles, d’autres représentations qui permettraient de brouiller les séparations arbitraires. C’est l’amorce d’un travail de révision des comportements attendus qui restreignent la créativité et la vitalité. Nous explorons les tendances qui traversent notre époque et qui témoignent d’une fluidité dans les attributions catégorielles. L’outil d’analyse qu’est le genre nous paraît être un modèle pour repenser et réinventer ce qui paraissait immuable. La question des rapports interespèces donnent lieu aussi à l’invention de nouvelles façons d’appréhender les polarités, les hiérarchisations, les identités figées. Nous nous appuyons enfin sur les écrits de fondateurs de la Gestalt-thérapie pour remettre en question la dichotomie liée à l’âge.
« Maintenant tout a disparu » : les requêtes indirectes déclaratives dans la formation numérique pour adultes
Authors: Oloff Florence
Published: June 2023

Cette contribution se focalise sur un type spécifique de requêtes indirectes en allemand dans la formation numérique pour adultes, à savoir des énoncés déclaratifs à travers lesquels des participant.es font référence à un problème au niveau du fonctionnement de leur téléphone mobile. Malgré leur formatage en tant que self-talk (formulation elliptique, à voix basse et avec le regard tourné vers l’appareil), ces tours permettent à leurs auteurs de mobiliser de l’aide de la part de l’enseignant ou des coparticipant.es. L’analyse d’extraits vidéo illustre aussi bien la flexibilité séquentielle de ces requêtes que la difficulté qu’ont les participant.es à les positionner en accord avec la disponibilité momentanée de l’enseignant. Il s’agit d’une pratique particulièrement adaptée au recrutement d’assistance concernant un problème inconnu ou opaque pour les participant.es et lié à la manipulation de l’appareil. C’est précisément ce formatage déclaratif d’apparence autocentrée qui invite la personne adressée à se rapprocher physiquement et à inspecter le téléphone de près.
Du « faire agir autrui » au « faire ensemble » : les instructions comme moyen de soutien du mouvement corporel lors d’entraînements d’escalade avec des athlètes malvoyant.es
Authors: Simone Monica , Galatolo Renata
Published: June 2023

À partir du concept de « faire agir autrui », notre analyse s’intéresse au cas spécifique des instructions (à l’action) lors d’entraînements à l’escalade avec des athlètes malvoyant.es. Dans ce contexte, la performance de l’athlète est possible grâce à la coopération avec le/la guide. À travers les instructions, le/la guide fournit à l’athlète des informations concernant la direction et la distance des prises pour que l’athlète puisse progresser dans l’escalade. Le fonctionnement des instructions dans ce type d’activité est rendu visible par l’analyse détaillée des formats d’instructions et de la paire séquentielle instruction-action. Les instructions sont la composante essentielle qui assure la distribution de l’action entre les participant.es (Enfield & Sidnell 2017) et l’accomplissement de la tâche de la part du tandem « guide-athlète ». Nos analyses mettent en lumière un fonctionnement interactif jusque-là peu exploré de la transmission d’instructions, à savoir, l’offre d’assistance. En effet, les instructions liées à l’handi-escalade vont au-delà d’actions comme les directives ou les requêtes (Drew & Couper-Kuhlen 2014 ; Floyd, Rossi & Enfield 2020) destinées à faire agir autrui ; nos résultats argumentent en faveur d’une conception des instructions comme étant des ressources dont la distribution locale construit et confirme les rôles institutionnels du guide et de l’athlète guidé.e dans un contexte d’offre d’assistance institutionnelle.
Orlicz estimates for parabolic Schrödinger operators with non-negative potentials on nilpotent Lie groups
Authors: Zhang Kelei
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we study the Orlicz estimates for the parabolic Schrödinger operator

   \begin{document}$ L = {\partial _t} - {\Delta _X} + V, $\end{document}

where the nonnegative potential $ V $ belongs to a reverse Hölder class on nilpotent Lie groups $ {\Bbb G} $ and $ {\Delta _X} $ is the sub-Laplace operator on $ {\Bbb G} $. Under appropriate growth conditions of the Young function, we obtain the regularity estimates of the operator $ L $ in the Orlicz space by using the domain decomposition method. Our results generalize some existing ones of the $ L^{p} $ estimates.
Convergence properties of a family of inexact Levenberg-Marquardt methods
Authors: Zhao Luyao , Tang Jingyong
Published: June 2023

We present a family of inexact Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) methods for the nonlinear equations which takes more general LM parameters and perturbation vectors. We derive an explicit formula of the convergence order of these inexact LM methods under the H$ \mathrm{\ddot{o}} $derian local error bound condition and the H$ \mathrm{\ddot{o}} $derian continuity of the Jacobian. Moreover, we develop a family of inexact LM methods with a nonmonotone line search and prove that it is globally convergent. Numerical results for solving the linear complementarity problem are reported.
A three-way decision-making technique based on Pythagorean double hierarchy linguistic term sets for selecting logistic service provider and sustainable transportation investments
Authors: Qadir Abbas , Alghaffari Shadi N. , Abosuliman Shougi S. , Abdullah Saleem
Published: June 2023

Finding the best transportation project and logistic service provider is one for the most important aspects of the development of a country. This task becomes more complicated from time to time as different criteria are involved. Hence, this paper proposes an approach to the linguistic three-way decision-making (TWDs) problem for selecting sustainable transportation investments and logistic service providers with unknown criteria and expert weight information. To this end, we first propose a new tool, the Pythagorean double hierarchy linguistic term sets (PyDHLTSs), which is a combination of first hierarchy linguistic term sets and second hierarchy linguistic term sets which can describe uncertainty and fuzziness more flexibly in decision-making (DM) problems. In addition, we propose some aggregation operators and basic operational laws for PyDHLTSs. A new decision-making technique for PyDHLTSs based on decision-theoretic rough sets (DTRSs) is proposed in the three-way decisions. Next, the conditional probability is computed using grey relational analysis in a PyDHLTSs environment, which improves decision-making. The loss function is computed by using the proposed aggregation operator, and the decision's results are determined by the minimum-loss principle. Finally, a real-world case study of a transportation project and logistic service provider is considered to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.
Frequency hopping signal detection based on optimized generalized S transform and ResNet
Authors: Li Chun , Chen Ying , Zhao Zhijin
Published: June 2023

The performance of traditional frequency hopping signal detection methods based on time frequency analysis is limited by the tradeoff of time-frequency resolution and spectrum leakage. Machine learning-based frequency hopping signal detection techniques have a high level of complexity. Therefore, this paper proposes a residual network and the optimized generalized S transform to detect frequency hopping signals. First, based on the time-frequency aggregation measure, the generalized S transform parameters $ \lambda $ and $ p $ are optimized using a multi-population genetic algorithm. Second, the optimized generalized S transform is used to determine a signal's time-frequency spectrum, which is then normalized to make this robust to noise power uncertainty. Finally, a residual network structure is designed which receives the time-frequency spectrum. To detect frequency hopping signals, the network automatically learns the time-frequency properties of signals and noise. Simulated findings indicate that the multi-population genetic algorithm not only increases optimization efficiency when compared to a regular genetic algorithm, but also has faster convergence and more stable optimization results. Compared with a hybrid convolutional network/recurrent neural network algorithm, the proposed technique is better at detection and has less computational and storage complexity.
Social assistance and workers' long-term well-being in Egypt
Authors: Hlasny Vladimir
Published: June 2023

Does social assistance tailored to augmenting workers' budgets or nurturing their human capital improve workers' lot several years down the road? In Egypt, how have the recipients fared compared to non-recipients, and has the financial versus in-kind form of assistance mattered? We contribute to existing welfare-economic literature by examining the impacts of several complementary social assistance programs on individuals' long-term welfare using Egyptian microdata. Multinomial logistic regression applied to the 2018 wave of the Labor Market Panel Survey, supplemented with evidence from the 2012 wave, shed light on the impacts of public-funded vocational training, health insurance and financial support on households' precariousness of living. Ex-beneficiaries of public-funded vocational training and health insurance are found to reach a less precarious state in terms of better food security and higher job satisfaction than non-beneficiaries. By contrast, recipients of financial assistance are not necessarily better off in the long term than non-recipients. Human capital investments thus appear to have lasting positive impacts on the well-being of workers and their families, while financial transfers have fleeting immediate effects, partly by design, and perhaps because they crowd out private investments or induce behavioral changes due to the associated eligibility criteria and endowment effects.

En prenant appui sur l’étude des projets pour Pétrole Hahn du studio Kéfer-Dora Maar (1933-1935), l’article analyse différentes modalités de production et de diffusion du « projet publicitaire » afin d’en proposer une première définition et d’en démontrer le rôle déterminant dans la naissance de la publicité photographique en France. Il met en évidence l’existence d’un écosystème vertueux entre le développement de la publicité moderne et la reconnaissance de l’art photographique au tournant des années 1930.
Water Policies
Authors: Pérez María Sotelo , Pérez Ignacio Sotelo
Published: June 2023

In a country, Spain, in which drought and desertification mark the environmental reality, water policies acquire a fundamental role when dealing with the management and planning of water resources. From the perspective of what has come to be called “postmodernity,” which predicts the end of the territory and the “no place,” the refutation of the region concept is established, at a time when no subspace can be separated from reality, complex and disparate, what happens to it, where the processes of globalization and fragmentation mark the future of its activities, relationships, developments, etc., and, therefore, are marked by regionalization and individualization, taking into consideration that, at the present time, the regional ones are shown as the basis and condition of the set of global relations—from the local to the global. In this way, the knowledge and study of the water reality of a country like Spain has as a reference the region and its problems from the territorial perspective, thus laying down what should be the bases of the water policies.

Authors: Jankauskienė Dainora , Kuklienė Lina , Kuklys Indrius , Ruzgienė Birutė , Lousada Sérgio António Neves
Published: June 2023

Recently, cartographic products obtained by the use of photogrammetric methods have been increasingly applied in digital public spaces. The aim of the research was to analyse the properties of photographic images in relation to the developed technical specification for aerial photography project realization to obtain the most efficient, accurate, and high quality aerial cartographic products. Based on photogrammetric data from two aerial photography projects, where the terrain was aerial photographed from different types of unmanned aerial vehicles (TRIMBLE UX5, DJI MATRICE 600 PRO) and cameras (Zenmuse X5, Nex-5T), the properties of the photographic images were analysed, and their correlation with the accuracy requirements for the aerial mapping processes is presented. In order to fulfil accuracy requirements for terrain mapping by the use of UAV-photogrammetry technology, a ground sample distance (GSD) of 5-20 cm is recommended when aerial photography mission is executed from a low-flying vehicle.
Counterspace Support for BIPOC Employees Within a Holistic JEDI Library Framework
Authors: Espinal Isabel , Graham Anne , Rios Maria , Freedman Katherine
Published: June 2023

This chapter presents a case study of how an academic library supports Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) employees with funding so these workers can find counterspaces (spaces where they can feel safe in community with other BIPOC who are navigating similar struggles while working in a predominantly white institution). Through its Inclusion, Diversity, Anti-Racism and Equity (IDARE) Committee, the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst Libraries worked to establish a fund for meeting some of the cultural and racial equity needs of library employees who are BIPOC. With a new Woman of Color Dean, the fund transformed into a funding priority and criterion that puts the needs of BIPOC employees at the center, while asking everyone in the library to undertake JEDI work and view all of their work through a JEDI lens. This chapter discusses the “Why” and the “How” of this JEDI initiative, placing it in the context of a larger holistic vision for inclusive librarianship outlined by current and former BIPOC employees and the JEDI vision of the Dean and her leadership team.
Starting and Sustaining JEDI Acquisitions and Collections in Academic Libraries
Authors: Mullally Colleen S. , Whitt Jeremy , Valdivieso Kayla
Published: June 2023

Academic libraries are increasingly seeking to incorporate Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) initiatives at their institutions. While many librarians recognize these as important values, the process of implementing them into daily workflows proves to be more challenging. In this chapter, the authors provide recommendations intended for those at all levels within an academic library to initiate and enact JEDI initiatives within library collections and acquisitions. These steps include creating an action plan, communicating with fellow constituents, and considering different vendor selection criteria in acquisitions. The authors also address how to navigate challenges that may arise while conducting this work such as budget constraints, staffing shortages, and the limited diversity within the library and publishing fields.
The Impact of COVID-19 and Online Learning on Urban High School Students' Post-Secondary Planning
Authors: Kekec Mustafa
Published: June 2023

The pandemic has expanded already-existing achievement and opportunity inequities, especially harming historically underprivileged students. This qualitative study aims to explore the impacts of the pandemic and online learning on urban high school students' schooling experiences and post-secondary life planning process. It has been found that pandemic and online learning experiences have impacted urban high school students in terms of academic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, extracurricular, and resources dimensions. The researcher also investigated what students have learnt from this experience and what their major support systems have been in this process. Significant others' support, physical activity, self-motivation, and envisioning prospective good times are found to be contributing factors to their well-being. The implications and recommendations for educators, particularly counselors, are also discussed.
The Effects of Systematic Reflection on Teacher SEL Skills
Authors: Januszka Dana Lynn
Published: June 2023

The potential connections between teachers' personal SEL skills of self-management and self-awareness and the effective application of reflective practices were explored in this action research study. This focus area is supported by the work of John Dewey (who is thought to be the founder of reflection for personal learning) and Donald Schon (who is credited with linking reflection to professional development and professional practice.) This study found that teachers who frequently use a variety of reflective practices as a part of their routine have stronger personal SEL skills as evidenced by teachers who reported using three or more reflective activities on a regular basis. Additionally, the results showed that those who use reflection regularly have high expectations, the desire to grow, and modify their plans as they learn, but need assistance with goal-setting. Practical suggestions for school counselors and teacher collaboration to improve skills are also provided.

Authors: Olson Erin M. , Chew Brandi L. , Feller-Mende Miles
Published: June 2023

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are prevalent and impact student functioning in a variety of ways. This chapter focuses on providing school counselors with the information needed to develop an understanding of the history and prevalence of FASDs, diagnostic considerations, and terminology, the impact of prenatal alcohol exposure, and a framework for providing FASD-informed care for their students. The FASD-informed approach to intervention includes methods for identifying students with FASD. Considerations of the student's individual strengths and weaknesses are reviewed as are considerations of the student's environmental influences, cultural and linguistic differences, and family involvement. Strategies for collaborating and consulting with others such as family members, educators, other school-based providers, medical practitioners, and community providers are discussed. The importance of accommodations and how to select appropriate interventions are presented and resources are provided.
Ostracized Experiences of Precarious Women in the Academy During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Meletiadou Eleni
Published: June 2023

This chapter discusses precarious women's experiences in HEI in the UK to explore the precarity of academic women's work under extreme pandemic conditions. The authors analysed eight recurring themes that emerged from the qualitative analysis of the interviews conducted with 18 women who were married with children across London's 3 Higher Education Institutions, adding an intersectional lens. The current study revealed that precarious female academics, who were married with children, faced incredible challenges amidst the pandemic and were further ostracized. It concludes that HEI need to reflect on how they could promote social justice offering opportunities for these women and their families. While previous researchers have reported on the challenges of women in the academy, few have explored the challenges of these ‘invisible' ladies, especially those married with children, who often do more than they are paid for and still remain in the dark.
Making Women in Finance Count
Authors: Meletiadou Eleni
Published: June 2023

The present study investigated the views of 22 women who were working as accountants in six SMEs to reveal the barriers they faced as they tried to maintain a work-life balance, especially as all of them were wives and mothers and have chosen to enter a male-dominated field. The current study revealed that female accountants faced numerous sex-related barriers and received little support as few women have senior roles in accounting even nowadays. It concludes that SMEs should provide opportunities for coaching and mentoring to help women enhance their leadership skills and overall profile, especially during major crises. While several studies have reported on diversity management issues in SMEs, this study focuses on both the enablers and the obstacles female accountants faced in Greece, especially during Covid-19, to provide a more balanced picture and offer recommendations which may support women in male-dominated fields, i.e., finance, promoting Social Justice and Sustainable Development for all employees irrespective of their background and personal characteristics.
Understanding Gender and Sexual Diversity in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes Using Queer Theory
Authors: Blignaut Jean Henry , Balfour Robert J. , Rothmann Jacques
Published: June 2023

Since 1994, South Africa's government has prioritised transforming society, especially educational institutions. Contributing towards transformation can occur through the formal curricula of a higher education institution. That said, exploring how higher education curricula promote the transformation of gender and sexual diversity outside of the confinements of heterosexuality to contribute to equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is essential. However, it necessitates a suitable theoretical framework to understand how themes on gender and sexual diversity have been included in module contents. Seven premises of queer theory have been identified and explained to understand the inclusion of themes on gender and sexual diversity in module contents of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Findings that emanated from this book chapter include (among others) that greater representation of all members of society in module contents necessitates that educators be aware of how their beliefs about gender and sexual diversity oppress and exclude LGBTIQ+ students in their classrooms.
Public Perception Towards the Acid-Burned Women in Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Tahmina , Ah Siti Hajar Abu Bakar , Omar Noralina
Published: June 2023

This chapter presents the people's viewpoint on acid-burned populations. The project aims to understand more about acid attack survivors' struggles to reintegrate into society. What resource shortages do acid victims face while reentering society? The emphasis of this chapter was on public perception and reintegration. These chapters discuss the fundamental needs of acid victims. The researcher examined the data using themes. The Acid Survivor Foundation (ASF) assisted victims by providing free housing, food, clothing, medical care, therapy, counseling, physical therapy, and surgeries (both long and short-term). After their hospital stays, victims went home. There were exceptions, but most returned to their original families. Many acid attack victims from disadvantaged families struggled throughout time. They had money, education, and housing issues, and this rehabilitation may enhance the SDGs' goal.

Published: June 2023

The authors use an intersectionality framework to examine the discrimination that individuals belonging to the LGBT+ community who have immigrated from Iran experience in Turkiye due to their beliefs and sexual differences. By following in Brintnall's (2013) footsteps, the authors preferred to focus specifically on the intersection of LGBT+ community members and freedom of religion and belief. In this study, the authors applied a questionnaire to Iranian LGBT+ people to examine the discrimination they suffered from both being LGBT+ and religious. The religious discrimination scale used in the study was taken from the study of Allen et al. (2020). Questions of sexual identity, orientation, and discrimination were selected and developed from the EU Fundamental Rights Agency 2012 LGBT survey (FRA, 2013). At the end of the study, the hypothesis that Iranian LGBT+ refugees are discriminated against more than once because of their beliefs and sexual orientation, and tendencies will be tested in the context of intersectionality.
Evaluating the Conflicting Interests in the United Nations
Authors: Ranjan Rajiv , Khare Pranjal
Published: June 2023

The chapter sheds light on the sophisticated competing interests in the United Nations (UN) system. These can be found in the organization's policies, which are related to conflict- related violence (CRSV) and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) by the UN. In a systematic and by taking qualitative starting point, the authors compared the prior criticism associated with SEA. The authors focused on nuance and an individualistic approach. The UN resolutions from the abovementioned policy areas are analyzed in a structured and focused comparison. This comparative case study aims to make visible contradictions and accompanying problems between the UN's interests by placing policies concerning SEA in a larger context. By comparing policies for both SEA and conflict-related violence (CRSV), the study seeks to show how conflicts between priorities can be seen in policies.
Why Women Go Elsewhere

Women earn less than 25% of undergraduate computer science (CS) degrees and hold less than 25% of CS jobs (National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics, 2019; U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). However, they earn over 50% of all undergraduate degrees and hold over 50% of professional jobs in other disciplines. Despite decades of research demonstrating the issue of women's underrepresentation in the CS industry, the problem persists to the detriment of both women and the broader society that the CS industry serves. To explore the reasons for this persistence, in this chapter, the authors examine existing scholarship on women's underrepresentation in the CS field to argue that understanding women's views of CS provides a platform for designing and implementing effective educational programs that better align with the goals of bringing more women into CS.
Patriarchal Determinants of Women's Employment in Turkey
Authors: Güdek-Gölçek Şeyda
Published: June 2023

Access to employment is one of the serious women's problems in Türkiye. Although the prevention of women's access to employment can be associated with many socioeconomic reasons, the basis of this problem is the patriarchal structure. Private patriarchy -with the effect of the conservative family structure-limits mobility and socialization, and, hinders women's access to public space. Due to the role definitions of private patriarchal, girls cannot benefit from education, and their employment opportunities are reduced. On the other hand, the public patriarchy maintains inequality through legal regulations and policies in the public sphere. For these reasons, women's participation in the labor force remains limited, cannot be employed, and they become unemployed because their limited labor supplies are not met in the market. The emancipation of women from this structure base on public policies, education, and the strengthening of organizations that struggle to eradicate gender asymmetries.
The Importance of Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce

Published: June 2023

The US is becoming an increasingly diverse and multicultural nation. It is therefore imperative to increase diverse representation in the healthcare workforce to adapt to the evolving patient community. Many institutions and systems in the US, including healthcare, have been structured to benefit the “White majority,” with people from marginalized backgrounds conforming to the system in order to receive care. An increase in healthcare workforce diversity is an achievable strategy for health equity and improving patient outcomes, particularly racial and ethnic disparities. Translating this to practice is a daunting task, but it is crucial to focus on the solutions. Organizations must acknowledge the systemic issues which exist and take action by having governance structures committed to supporting initiatives focused on diversity and cultural competency. The impact of greater diversity in the healthcare workforce extends to diverse patients having overall improved experiences in access, clinical encounters, communication with practitioners, choice, and satisfaction.
Digital Education During COVID-19 in Odisha
Authors: Sahoo Minati , Rana Karishma
Published: June 2023

One of the worsts hit by the COVID-19 pandemic has been the education sector, which has led to the closure of all educational institutions. Hence, an effort has been made in this study to examine various issues and challenges of digital education in Odisha. The study found that most of the educational institutions in Odisha have gone for online teaching. Additionally, to promote e-learning, various digital platforms have been provided by the state and central governments. But digital education in Odisha is facing many challenges like uneven access of internet and digital gadgets, low tele density, lack of support structures, low computer literacy, and less competency. Additionally, power cut, financial constraints, lack of parent's involvement in the process are some of the issues that are adding woes to the effectiveness of digital education in teaching and learning process. Hence, there is need to evolve a judicious mix of normal and digital education with revised curricular post-COVID-19 to provide more learning opportunities for the all-around development of the students.
Weavers' Livelihoods and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Das Tushar Kanti
Published: June 2023

Sambalpuri Handloom weavers of Western Odisha are known for their rich skill, creativity, and innovative designs. Steady decline in the earnings has resulted in the migration of weavers both professionally and geographically. Economic crisis is forcing these weavers to face livelihood crisis. The weavers who have created history and brought glory by their rich artistry are being forced to change their livelihood. The present study has been undertaken in sixteen clusters of four districts of Western Odisha. It has been observed that the role played by the businessman (middleman) is quite important. Though the price of the product is quite high, the weavers are not satisfied with the emoluments amounts that they receive. The actual benefits from marketing of this handloom are accruing to the middlemen rather than the weavers. The COVID -19 pandemic and economic shutdown has broken the supply chain of both the backward and forward linkage of the Sambalpuri handloom industry. Necessary policy should be made both by the central and state governments to rescue these handloom weavers.
Research on Big Data-Driven Urban Traffic Flow Prediction Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Qin Xiaoan
Published: June 2023

This paper introduces an innovative approach for the urban traffic flow prediction (TFP) that utilizes big data and deep learning (D-L) to improve accuracy, reducing the incidence of large errors commonplace in traditional methods. By implementing this method, sustainable urban developments are able to be achieved more effectively in the future. First, an Attention-CNN-GRU-ResNet (ACGR) TFP model is built with the D-L network by gridding the urban traffic flow (TF) into a three-dimensional S-T tensor sequence. An attention-based GRU is then introduced to combine spatial and channel attention in the traditional GRU, and the time dependence and spatio-temporal (S-T) heterogeneity of TF in each subset are effectively extracted. Finally, a ResNet module is introduced to capture the S-T dependency, which helps avoid the deep network degradation caused by excessive layers. Results show the proposed method generates the minimum value in RMSE, MAE, and MAPE with 18.32, 10.66, and 5.34, respectively. This research provides a new idea to alleviate data sparsity and consider the difference of input features and offers a novel approach to solve the S-T learning tasks associated with modeling.
Accuracy of estimated height from ulnar length using MUST equation
Authors: Amarathunga H. K.
Published: June 2023

Background & Aim: Height is an important parameter in the assessment of nutritional status. Height is difficult to measure directly in critically ill patients; alternative methods are used to predict the height. One such method used in the Sri Lankan setting is the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) equations using ulnar length. But the accuracy of the estimated height from the ulnar length in local setting is not studied much. The present study is carried out as a pilot study in order to evaluate the equation for estimated height from ulnar length for the Sri Lankan population.
Methods: A single-centre cross-sectional study was carried out by using hospital staff in a base hospital in the central province of Sri Lanka during a staff clinic session. Height was measured by a stadiometer (Seca-203) and ulnar length non-stretchable tape. MUST equation was used the calculate the estimated height and it was compared with actual height to check the accuracy.
Results: The mean age of the males and females is 39.8 (SD ± 10.2) and 40.7 (SD ± 10.0) years, respectively. The actual height of males was 165.6 cm (SD ± 6.2) and 153.8 cm (SD ± 5.6) in females. The estimated height in males is 175.6 cm (SD ± 4.9) and in females 165.3 cm (SD ± 4.7). The mean difference of estimated height was positive 10.0 cm (SD ± 5.1) in males and in females, it is 11.5 cm (SD ± 4.4).
Conclusions: The estimated height from ulnar length in this subgroup differs significantly from the actual height. Therefore, MUST equation should be used cautiously until a further countrywide assessment is done to develop a population-specific equation to predict height using ulnar length.
