Manufacturing Revolutions: Industrial Policy and Industrialization in South Korea
Authors: Lane Nathaniel
Published: July 2021

I study the impact of industrial policy on industrial development by considering an important episode during the East Asian miracle: South Korea's heavy and chemical industry (HCI) drive, 1973 - 1979. Based on newly assembled data, I use the introduction and termination of industrial policies to study their impacts during and after the intervention period. (1) I reveal that the heavy-chemical industrial policies promoted the expansion and dynamic comparative advantage of directly targeted industries. (2) Using variation in exposure to policies through the input-output network, I demonstrate that policy indirectly benefited downstream users of targeted intermediates. (3) The benefits of HCI persisted even after it ended, some of which took time to manifest. These findings suggest that the temporary drive shifted Korean manufacturing into more advanced markets and supported durable change. This study helps clarify the lessons drawn from the East Asian growth miracle.
Epistemic injustice and epistemic positioning: towards an intersectional political economy
Authors: Bacevic Jana
Published: July 2021

While access to higher education continues to expand, the participation of women and ethnic minority scholars in the academic profession remains low. This paper theorizes the relationship between identity- based epistemic judgments and the reproduction of social inequalities in the academia. It conceptualizes these judgments as acts of epistemic positioning, which entail the evaluation of knowledge claims based on the speaker’s stated or inferred identity. These judgments serve to limit the scope of the knowledge claim, making it more likely speakers will be denied recognition or credit. The paper introduces four kinds of epistemic positioning: bounding, domaining, non-attribution, and appropriation. Given the growing importance of visibility and recognition in the context of increasing competition and insecurity in academic employment, these practices play a role in the ability of underrepresented groups to remain in the academia. The paper discusses the implications of these findings for conceptualizing and addressing the relationship between social inequalities and recognition, to build towards an intersectional political economy of knowledge production.
Qarābādhīn (Pharmacopoeia) in Greeco-Arabian era : A Historical and Regulatory Perspective
Authors: Ali Mohd Akhtar , Hamiduddin -
Published: July 2021

Qarābādhīn can be termed as pharmacopoeia, contains compiled form of compound formulations or recipes. Importance of Qarābādhīn gradually increased and acquired an imperative status. The history of Qarābādhīn starts from Chiron, Aesculapius, Hippocrates, Dioscorides and Galen in Greco-Roman era. Many of early and medieval Islamic and Arab physicians play vital role and immense original contribution in this discipline and authored important and essential Qarābādhīn with systemic and scientific approaches. Although some of them could not reach the present day, many of the manuscripts can be found in various libraries across the world. Since the Arab Caliphates appreciated and patronized the fields of medicine acquired from Greeks and worked for its development, this period also known as “Greco-Arabic era”. In this work the evaluation of Qarābādhīn (particularly written in Arabic or Greek language) was done in historical and regulatory perspective particularly in Greek era and later on in Medieval Islamic era. The findings of the review indicate the importance and regulatory status of Qarābādhīn and provide information about it. It can be helpful to explore Qarābādhīn and related publications of Greek and Medieval Islamic Arabic period, which gives foundations for the present-day pharmacopeias. Since these documents also take into account ethical considerations, its utility in the fields of medicine and medical ethics should be investigated.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 04 October’21 Page: 388-404

Authors: Natela Khetsuriani  , Vladimer Tsitsishvili  , Elza Topuria  , Irina Mchedlishvili  , Zaza Molodinashvili
Published: July 2021

The individual composition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been studied in high boiling (340–590°) fractions of Norio oil (wells 200, 201) which are characterized by high content of aromatic hydrocarbons and high intensity fluorescence. The eluates obtained by adsorption fractionation of aromatic hydrocarbons separated by aniline and concentrates of their crystalline components have been studied by GC, MS and GC-MS methods. For analysis of the obtained data an automated system of mass deconvolution and identification (AMDIS) was used. In the eluates under investigation the following structures were identified: indenes, tetralines, dinaphtilbenzenes, naphthalenes, fluorenes, phenantrenes, antracenes, mono- and polyalkyl derivatives ofnaphtofluorene and phenantrene, and terpeniles. In crystal samples of the eluates the banzantracene, chrizene, their methyl-, dimethyl and trymethylanaloges, phenantrene derivatives, antracenes and pyrenes were identified. The heterocyclic analogues of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons likemethylbenzoanthracenes, benzonaphthothiophenes, benzocarbazoles and dibenzthiophene were identified in Georgian oils for the first time.
OUR EXPERIENCE IN USING THE UKRNDITO POLIFUNCTIONAL APPARATUS IN THE TREATMENT OF LONG BONE FRACTURES
Authors: Petro Kovalchuk  , Ihor Biryuk  , Serhiy Tulyulyuk
Published: July 2021

Among diaphyseal long bones fractures - fractures of the femur and tibia are the most common. Femoral fractures range from 10.4 to 23.9% of all long bone fractures and from 13 to 36.3% of tibial injuries. The problem of treatment of these injuries is due to the large number of unsuccessful treatment results, as evidenced by the high percentage of disability (up to 20-30%). The purpose of the study is to publish the experience of using multifunctional devices UKRNDITO in the treatment of long bone fractures. The fixed device belongs to unilateral external multifunctional fixators on the basis of sticks and was used in 17 cases of open injuries, 20 - closed fractures of long bones and in 3 cases of osteomyelitis processes. Analysis of clinical cases of patients’ treatment with fractures long bones using these devices showed that these operations are accompanied by minimal blood loss and trauma, significantly reduce the duration of surgery, allow for early functional load and ensure mobility of joints adjacent to fractures, reduce the length of hospital stay, are «comfortable» for patients.

Published: July 2021

Bone damage in fractures is never isolated and is always accompanied by soft tissue damage, microcirculation and neurotrophic processes. The severity of these disorders depends on a number of factors: the mechanism of injury, type and location of the fracture, the magnitude of the displacement of the fragments, the size of the hematoma in the fracture area.One analyzed the rehabilitation treatment after closed osteosynthesis of the tibia in 53 patients with fractures and their consequences (nonhealing fractures, pseudoarthrosis) that were operated with the use of blocking intramedullary metal polymeric fixation devices BIMPF – 3M and BIMPF – 8. No infectious complication was noted, one patient was characterized by a delayed consolidation of fragments in case of closed BIMPO. The average terms of fragments consolidation with a complete restoration of an operated extremity ranged from 10 to 12 weeks in case of dynamic version of BIMPO and 13 – 15 weeks with a static one.
A Giant Pre-Peritoneal Lipoma: A Report of an Uncommon Presentation of a Rare Entity and a Review of the Literature
Authors: Bartholomew Ulasi Ikechukwu , Bartholomew Ulasi Ikechukwu , OO Afuwape , MA Ajani , AE Onyema , JI Nwadiokwu , JO Akpakwu , DO Irabor
Published: July 2021

Background: A lipoma is one of the commonest benign tumors in surgical practice. Lipomas are usually
found on the trunk and limbs but less commonly within the abdomen, where they occur frequently in the
mesentery as well as the subserosa and submucous layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-peritoneal lipomas
are rare.
Case Presentation: A 44-year-old woman presented with a painless and progressive right-sided abdominal
swelling of 5 months duration. Examination revealed a 16cm x 14cm slightly mobile and non-tender firm-to-hard hour-glass-shaped mass extending from the right hypochondrial to right iliac and the suprapubic
regions. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a 5cm x 6cm bowel thickening in the right iliac fossa
suggestive of an ileocecal mass while a computerized tomography showed a 20.8cm x 6.3cm x 20.1cm
hypodense mass within the peritoneal cavity, extending from the epigastric region to the pelvis, anterior to
the bowel loops and more to the right. At laparotomy, a huge, well encapsulated yellowish mass in the pre-peritoneal space, weighing 1,520g was excised. Histology confirmed a lipoma.
Conclusion: A preperitoneal lipoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor and the giant ones are extremely
rare. Although a rare cause of a painless abdominal swelling, pre-peritoneal lipoma should be considered as
a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with an unremarkable feature suggestive of an intra-abdominal
pathology.

Published: July 2021

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the 6+1 trait writing model and its impacts on students' writing achievement. It is focused on the students' improvement based on the five processes of writing which connected with analytic rubrics six-trait. Writing is the activity that requires students to systematically follow step by step to get professional results. Systematically compiled writing can help the reader to understand what the writer wants to convey. Writing requires an assessment to determine whether the writing is good or not. Writing appraisals can be categorized based on the assessment rubric that used. Analytic rubric six-trait is able to provide a detailed assessment and covers all aspects of the writing phase. To get the aim of the study, this study implemented experiment research by quantitative methods. The study was conducted on students’ of PondokPesantren DDI At-TaqwaJampuePinrang by using written tests. Based on the analysis, it is found that the students' writing was improved in four categories out of six categories. It can be seen by looking at the t-test which is higher than the t-table value for each category. The analytic rubric six trait may be a tool to measure the students' writing improvement based on the six categories in the writing element.

Sepsis in the XXI Century: Etiology, Risk Factors, Epidemiological Features, Complications, Prevention
Authors: Gomanova L. I. , Brazhnikov A. Y.
Published: July 2021

Relevance. Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by dysregulation of the body's response to infection. It is estimated that the annual number of sepsis cases worldwide could be 48 million. An increase in the role of nosocomial infections, an increase in concomitant pathology, and the rapid development of complications lead to negative dynamics in the sepsis incidence and mortality.

Aims. Review of the epidemiological characteristics of sepsis in the world and the Russian Federation, study of the etiology, risk factors, complications and prevention of sepsis.

Conclusions. The data obtained indicate that sepsis remains an unsolved public health problem in many countries of the world. According to modern data, the annual sepsis (ICD-10: A00-B99, A30-A49, A41) incidence among the adult population in accordance with «Sepsis-3» is 838 per 100 ths. So, assessing the incidence of sepsis and mortality from it, we can identify the negative dynamics of recent years, which is typical for the United States of America, Europe and Asia. For example, the incidence of all forms of sepsis ranges from 25 per 100 ths in Italy (2006) to 883 per 100 ths in Sweden (2019). Moreover, every fourth case of sepsis (24.4%) in the world was acquired during a stay in an ICU. Hospital mortality from all forms of sepsis in various countries ranged from 17.5% in Spain (2013) to 46.3% as a whole and 64.5% with admission to ICU in Brazil (2006–2015). Unfortunately, in the Russian Federation, there are no large studies aimed at assessing sepsis incidence and mortality. According to the results of studies conducted on the basis of ICU in hospitals of St. Petersburg, sepsis incidence was 35 per 100 ICU patients (2006–2007) and 15 per 100 ICU patients (2015). When studying the epidemiological features of sepsis, the following difficulties can be identified: changing the criteria for diagnosing sepsis, comparing data on sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock, evaluating data on community-acquired and in-hospital sepsis. So, sepsis prevention plays an important role in the public health of many countries. Major preventive strategies to reduce sepsis incidence include raising awareness of sepsis; identification of persons at risk; early diagnosis of sepsis; treatment of comorbid pathology leading to the potential development of sepsis and progression of its complications. The epidemiological status continues to deteriorate due to the growth of antibioticresistant strains, an increase in the proportion of fungal agents, late antibiotic therapy, an unfavorable comorbid status and other factors. Early diagnosis and timely clinical management of sepsis play the main role in the improvement in the quality of life. For example, treatment of chronic infectious diseases, minimization of manageable risk factors, and development of population screening programs will further reduce sepsis incidence and mortality.

Authors: Erovichenkov А. A. , Pshenichnaya N. Yu. , Ishmukhametov A. A. , Gorelov A. V. , Akimkin V. G.
Published: July 2021

Relevance. Travel diarrhea is the most common health problem in travelers, affecting up to 70% of travelers, especially when traveling to developing countries. Research and development of scientific and practical approaches to the prevention, risk assessment and treatment of travelers' diarrhea continues to be the focus of attention of specialists in the field of epidemiology, infectious diseases and travel medicine around the world.

Aim of the study: systematization and synthesis of new data on various clinical and epidemiological aspects of travelers' diarrhea.

Conclusion. Analysis of modern scientific literature has made it possible to identify the risks for travelers associated with the direction of travel and the state of their own health. The highest risk of developing traveler's diarrhea (from 20% to 90%) is recorded in people visiting the countries of the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, Central and South America, and Africa. There is a high risk of developing traveler's diarrhea in children under 4 years of age. The causative agents of acute bacterial intestinal infections can account for up to 80% -90% of all cases of travelers' diarrhea. In most cases, travelers' diarrhea is mild. Seeking medical care is observed from 5% to 15% of cases. For etiotropic therapy, the use of azithromycin, ciprofloxacin and other drugs is recommended. Recommendations for self-management of traveler's diarrhea have been formulated. Pre-trip travel advice will help reduce the risks of travelers' diarrhea.

Authors: Tsygankov P. V. , Alnikin A. B. , Kvashe I. V. , Shlyk S. V. , Kharseeva G. G. , Ryabtseva O. A. , Tarabanova I. V.
Published: July 2021

Relevance. Currently, the incidence of COVID-19 is growing in many countries of the world, including Russia. There are suggestions about a likely protective role against the new coronavirus infection of widely used traditional vaccines against respiratory infections (influenza, tuberculosis, pneumococcal infection). Those vaccinated with these vaccines are less likely to report deaths and severe forms of COVID-19 diseases in vulnerable populations.

The aim is to determine the frequency of detection of positive markers of a new coronavirus infection in individuals with different vaccination histories.

Materials and methods. We examined 313 employees of an educational institution with various vaccination histories at the age of 20–54 years from May to September 2020. The determination of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and specific IgM and IgG antibodies to the virus nucleocapsid was carried out.

Results. Positive markers for SARS-CoV-2 (PCR and / or ELISA) were found in 51 (16.3%) people. All examined patients had no signs of acute respiratory viral infections. Among people with positive markers of coronavirus infection (PCR and / or ELISA), the number of people vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, measles and hepatitis B (HBV) was 13.7–17.6% of those examined. Among those with negative PCR results, the number of people vaccinated against these infections was higher (p ≤ 0.05) and amounted to 51.0–56.6%. Similar results were found in the determination of specific IgM and IgG.

Conclusion. Positive markers of a new coronavirus infection were found much less frequently in persons who had a history of vaccination with ADS-M-toxoid, measles and hepatitis B vaccines.
Epidemiological Analysis of the Frequency of Acute Respiratory Diseases and Diseases of the Circulatory System Using Medical Information Technologies
Authors: Papicheva M. A. , Yakushina I. I.
Published: July 2021

Relevance. Acute respiratory diseases (ARD) refer to mass infectious diseases, cause significant economic damage by provoking the development of diseases of the circulatory system, and the seasonal incidence of ARI is a predictor of mortality from cardiovascular diseases, which requires timely statistical accounting using the medical information system (MIS).

The aim of the study was to quantitatively assess the risk of exposure to ARIs on the occurrence of diseases of the circulatory system using statistical data processing using MIS.

Materials and methods. The epidemiological study was carried out in the design of a retrospective analytical cohort study of cases of temporary disability in the adult population, using statistical and analytical methods with the identification of a causal relationship using MIS, which provides the primary collection, storage, selection and grouping of data on the incidence of patients, with subsequent calculations of the relative risk and its 95% confidence interval.

Results and discussion. Using the MIS, 88,735 cases of incapacity for work issued for the period from 2014 to 2019 were recorded and analyzed. Thanks to the reference architecture of the MIS, a sample of patients with acute respiratory infections was carried out, and their subsequent grouping according to the incidence rate into the main and control groups. The main group (frequently ill) was represented by patients who were ill more than 3 times per season, and the control group (rarely ill) was represented by patients who were ill from 1 to 2 times per season. The sample consisted of 4,980 patients, of which 1,461 were the main group and 3519 were the control group. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between the incidence of ARI and the development of angina pectoris with documented spasm (I20.1), chronic ischemic heart disease (I25.1), cerebrovascular disease (I67.9), atherosclerosis of the arteries of the extremities (I70.2), phlebitis and thrombophlebitis (I80), varicose veins of the lower extremities (I83), as well as hemorrhoids (I84).

Conclusions. The introduction into the practice of MIS, which has a predominantly reference architecture, will optimize the epidemiological surveillance of infectious and non-infectious diseases, using the statistical registration of cases of temporary disability, mortality and hospitalization for taking timely and effective anti-epidemic and preventive measures.

Published: July 2021

Relevance. Meningococcal disease is a relatively rare but still potentially fatal and disabling infection, affecting primarily healthy people of all age groups, and remains an important public health problem.

Aims. The aim of the study was to analyze the long-term dynamics of the incidence of MI in the Novosibirsk region (NSO; identification and study of the factors that determined the change in the incidence of MI in 2019 in the region.

Materials & Methods. A retrospective comparative epidemiological analysis of the incidence of the population of the Novosibirsk region in 1992–2019 was carried out. using statistical reporting forms No. 2 «Information on infectious and parasitic diseases»; state reports «On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being ofthe population oftheRussian Federation» for 1998–2015, and according to the NSO for 2005–2019.

Results. An analysis of the epidemiological patterns of MI in the NSO revealed the presence of significant fluctuations in the incidence rates with multiple replacements of the leading strains of meningococcus, in the absence of immunity to all the main pathogens of MI in the vast majority of the region's inhabitants (from 60% to 82.92% of the population in different years remained seronegative to meningococcus serogroup A, 100% of the examined are seronegative to serogroup C). Simultaneously with the change in the epidemic situation in MI in the NSO in 2019, a tendency towards an increase in the incidence of MI was registered during 2016–2019 and in all regions ofCentral Asia, from where the influx oflabor migrants with their families continues. As anti-epidemic measures in risk groups, vaccination was used mainly against meningococcus serogroup A in combination with chemoprophylaxis in contact persons.

Conclusion. The NSO (Novosibirsk) is characterized by: dynamic changes in the circulating serogroups of meningococcus, the presence of refugees and migrants with a high risk of infection with local strains and the introduction of new ones, including hypervirulent strains from regions on the transit route; high risk of repeated outbreaks and further complication of the epidemic situation. It is necessary to form a regional vaccine prophylaxis program, taking into account the variability of the etiology of MI and the most effective prevention strategies.

Published: July 2021

Due to the emergence of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19, scientists around the world are actively working on a vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. At the same time, it is possible that existing medications can help in the fight against this disease. The local antiseptic drug benzidamine hydrochloride in the early stages of illness can prevent the virus from entering the lower respiratory tract and potentially reduce the severe illness associated with pneumonia and, as a result, reduce COVID19-related hospitalizations, which can significantly reduce the burden on the health care system.

The aim: to evaluate the antiviral activity of benzidamine hydrochloride against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro.

Material and methods. Antiviral properties of benzidamine hydrochloride were studied in vitro in non-toxic concentrations on monolayer of Vero-E6 cells infected with pandemic strain of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in treatment and prophylactic scheme of the compound and virus administration.

Results. Benzidamine hydrochloride has antiviral activity (15,0 mcg/ml), the efficiency of its antiviral action is directly proportional to the concentration of the substance.

Conclusions. Taking into account very limited range of antiviral drugs with direct action on SARS-CoV-2 virus, the studied preparation can be used in complex therapy at early stages of the disease, which can prevent virus penetration into lower respiratory tract and potentially reduce the number of complications.
‘For the Lord Will Be Your Confidence . . .’ Prov. 3:26
Authors: Matty Nazek
Published: July 2021

This short article expresses how one’s own experience affects one’s reading of the Bible, and how reading the Bible helps the reader to understand their reality differently. Stories that are presented in the Bible are stories in which one can find him/herself. This brief work focuses on what the sages say about shoah and times of crisis. Two verses are considered: Prov. 1:27 and 3:25, where the author gives advice to the reader on how to live wisely in times of distress. Shoah is presented here as a lived experience of the author after being forced to leave their hometown and escape the storm that hit the lives of so many people. Reading the Bible while being a displaced person put us very much in line with the exiled Israelites who lived the experience of loss and shame after 587 BC.
Psalms of Ascent
Authors: Tzoref Shani
Published: July 2021

This article uses Hermann Gunkel’s form-critical approach in studying the fifteen short ‘Psalms of Ascent’ (Psalms 120–134). Jewish tradition as well as subsequent scholarship associates these Psalms with the Biblical Pilgrim festivals in Jerusalem, sung by the pilgrims on their way but later incorporated into cultic rites within the Temple. Gunkel’s analysis identifies templates which serve as frameworks for both simple and complex artistic variations. Using the form-critical approach descriptively rather than prescriptively, the article uses the identification of formal elements primarily as a tool for understanding the language, themes, message and mood of these Psalm texts. A study of King Solomon’s dedicatory prayer (1 Kings 8 and 2 Chronicles 6) in conjunction with Psalm 132 indicates a new locus of performance in a ritual in modern synagogue liturgy.
Epilogues
Authors: Magonet Jonathan
Published: July 2021

The annual International Jewish-Christian Bible Week runs from a Sunday to a Sunday, allowing for the celebration of the Jewish Shabbat and the Christian Sunday by attending one another’s religious services. During the five years covered in this issue, it has been the author’s privilege to offer the sermon on the Saturday morning during the Jewish service. This enables him to explore new perceptions of the texts we have been studying that have arisen during the Week, but also to reflect on broader issues that might have arisen in the multiple interactions – interfaith, intercultural and interpersonal – that have taken place during the Week. Given the occasional negative associations that accompany the word ‘sermon’, I have preferred to use the term ‘epilogues’ to characterise these responses to the texts and experiences of the Week. The term also covers a more imaginative reflection on the Book of Proverbs (Hebrew: mishlei) that we have been studying – a visit to the City of Mishlei.

crushed little stars
Authors: Ealey Jordan
Published: July 2021

This is a performative engagement with the theory and practice of Black girlhood. I begin with an excerpt from my play-in-process, crushed little stars, which is itself a meditation on the sad Black girl. I share this process of play not only to present play making as a powerful epistemological tool, but also to blur the boundaries between what constitutes theory as opposed to practice. I (re)imagine Black girl sociality as a site of restoration and healing against the racist, sexist, and ageist world with which Black girls are forced to contend. Accordingly, this project contributes to the diversification of girlhood studies, challenging the disciplinarity of the field by extending ethnographic and sociological perspectives to include the vantage point of performance and creative practice.
Muslim Girlhood, Skam Fandom, and DIY Citizenship
Authors: Hannell Briony
Published: July 2021

While fandom is a dominant girlhood trope, few accounts examine faith in the context of girls’ fandom. Addressing this gap, using a feminist poststructural analysis, I draw on interviews and participant observation to locate fan communities as a space in which Muslim girls can enact citizenship. Combining youth cultural studies, girlhood studies, and fan studies, I explore how Muslim fangirls of the Norwegian teen web-dramaSkam(2015–2017) draw on their desire for recognition and their creativity as cultural producers to engage in participatory storytelling that challenges popular representations of Muslim girls. This process enables the production of communities rooted in shared interests, experiences, and identities. I suggest that fandom should be recognized for its capacity to generate new meanings of citizenship for minority youth.

“Integration” refers to multiple arenas in German migration politics, including journalistic discourse, public policy, and cultural logics about incorporating immigrants and refugees into the nation. This article examines two non-fiction narratives, Das Ende der Geduld by Kirsten Heisig and Muslim Girls by Sineb El Masrar, to explore how each author characterizes integration from opposite sides of the political spectrum. In integration politics, adolescence is often construed as a problem, which—when improperly managed—leads to the criminalization or radicalization of youth of color. Comparative analysis of these two texts shows that institutions such as the school and the criminal justice system produce adolescence as a problem for integration and as a way to avoid acknowledging institutionalized inequity. These two examples exist as part of a longer genealogy of authors using mass-market paperbacks to comment on integration politics.
Germany’s Energiewende at a Crossroads
Authors: Heering Jonas , Gustafson Thane
Published: July 2021

This article examines Germany’s current climate and energy policies. Nearly two decades on, Germany’s Energiewende—the transition to a less carbonintensive economy—is at a crossroads. While remarkable advances have been made, the technical difficulties of expanding the energy transition beyond the electricity sector, the mounting costs of the transition itself, and now the covid-19 pandemic are slowing further progress. Maintaining the momentum of the
Energiewende would require collaborative action, yet the principal political players have different agendas, making it difficult to reach decisions. In this article, we consider three of those actors: the German public, the opposition parties,
and the government. We find that agreements on German climate policy have been diluted in political compromises and that real progress is being blocked. These problems will only increase as Germany deals with the consequences of the pandemic and faces a transition in national leadership in 2021.

Published: July 2021

Penelitian ini mengkaji risiko sistematis pada dua periode pasar yang berbeda (bearish dan bullish) di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI), serta meneliti apakah terdapat perbedaan risiko sistematis pada kedua periode pasar tersebut. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah data harga saham penutupan harian saham terpilih dan penutupan harian Indeks Harga Saham Gabungan (IHSG) periode 2 Januari 2017 sampai dengan 30 Desember 2020, dengan data yang diperoleh dari Investing.com. Metode pengambilan sampel yang digunakan adalah metode purposive sampling dengan kriteria tidak pernah melakukan stock split, tidak pernah dihentikan sementara (suspensed), dan diperdagangkan secara aktif selama periode pengamatan, agar tidak terjadi bias. Sebanyak 20 saham ditemukan yang memenuhi kriteria tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada perbedaan antara bull dan bear beta. Kemudian, tidak ada perbedaan antara periode keseluruhan dan bull atau bear beta. Temuan menyiratkan bahwa investor dan manajer portofolio dapat menggunakan semua periode beta sebagai proksi risiko sistematis mereka.

Demands from management so that employees increase competency by increasing workloads coupled with a non-conducive work environment often cause employees to experience stress and decrease performance. The purpose of this research is to know the influence of the competency, workload, the work environment on work stress, and the employee performance of Bank BJB Branch of S. Parman. The sampling total used in this research is 100 respondents. The research method used is the verification method (quantitative) with analytical tools in the form of validity, reliability, coefficient of determination, and hypothesis testing (t-test and F test). The measurement of the data is performed by Likert scale questionnaire 5-points. Based on the t-test results shows the calculated t-value is greater than the t-table (1.996), except for the work environment variable. The results showed that the competency and the workload of a positive and significant effect on the stress of work and performance, while the influential work environment variable is positive and significant but not to work stress and employee performance.
The Influence of Early Childhood Socialization on Political Decision Making in Adulthood: Benyamin Netanyahu’s Potential to Become a Peacemaker
Authors: Geronik Arie
Published: July 2021

This paper examines Benyamin Netanyahu’s potential to reject his current ‘hawkish’ views and to become a peace maker during his fifth (and probably last) term in office as the Prime Minister of Israel. Netanyahu continues to live in the shadow of the legacy of two deceased family members: his older brother Yonatan and his father Benzion. His brother Yonatan was killed in action in 1976 while leading his troops in the renowned counter-terrorism rescue mission ‘Operation Entebbe’. As a result, Yonatan became an Israeli national hero. His father Benzion, who worked as a prominent Israeli historian for decades but was rejected by the Israeli academic and political mainstream due to his ‘hawkish’ views, died in 2012 at the age of 102. It is my assumption that Netanyahu’s political activity up to the present has stemmed in part from his emotional hunger resulting from his need to measure up to the ‘larger than life’ images of his father and brother. The fact that both influential figures are deceased may now enable him to give greater expression to the more pragmatic sides of his personality in the future, and to enter history books – on his own – as a peacemaker.
The practitioners guide to a digital index: Unearthing design-principles of an abstract artefact
Authors: Skargren Fredric , Garcia Ambrosiani Karin
Published: July 2021

Based on the perspective of e-government practitioners at a government agency in Sweden, this article analyses the design-process with the aim of unearthing the design-principles of a Digital Index (DI). The DI is developed to address challenges of how to: understand; appraise; learn from and develop e-government – by combining digital technologies with the context of public administration. This study applies a design-science research method and analyses the initial steps of the design-process: awareness of the problem, suggestion, and development. The results show how the abstract artefact – the DI – is constructed and how it is based on three main design-principles. Firstly e-government should be contextualised with the nature of public administration – which means relating digital technologies vis-a-vis core-businesses of a public authority. Secondly: digital technologies support administrative processes and must be premised on the classification of information and law. Thirdly, apply a process view of e-government that highlights the relationship between internal administrative procedures, the interaction with citizens/companies and the sharing of government data. The discussion highlights how the DI is relevant for research on e-government by offering some concrete as well as general perspectives on how to combine e-government and public administration.

Published: July 2021

In this work, bipolar fuzzy parameterized sets in conjunction with soft sets are studied. This research focuses on the application of bipolar fuzzy parameterized soft sets (BFPSS), arising from association of bipolar fuzzy parameterized sets with soft sets. Some useful operations and fundamental properties of BFPSS are presented. Mainly, we aim to design a novel and comparatively labour-saving algorithm to see the efficacy of BFPSS. We discuss an application of our algorithm in pharmaceutical decision making problem based on effectiveness and harmfulness of certain drugs. However, the algorithm is equally applicable in other decision making environments as well where BFPSS arise. By preserving the structural implication of BFPSS, we compare our technique with a most recent algorithm to prove the significance of our method.

Published: July 2021

T-spherical fuzzy set (TSFS) is a generalized version of the spherical fuzzy set (SFS) and picture fuzzy set (PFS) to manage awkward and unpredictable information in realistic decision issues. TSFS deals with yes, abstinence, no, and refusal type of fuzzy information. This manuscript aims to observe the drawbacks of some existing dice similarity measures (DSMs) and to propose some new DSMs in the environment of TSFSs. The validation of the new DSMs is proved. The defined DSMs are further extended to introduce some generalized DSMs (GDSMs) and their special cases are studied. Additionally, the TOPSIS method using the entropy measures (EMs) based on TSFSs is also explored and verified with the help of some examples. The proposed new GDSMs and TOPSIS method are applied to the problem of building material recognition, medical diagnosis, clustering, and the results obtained are investigated. A comparison of the new theory is established where the advancement of the proposed DSMs is elaborated under some conditions. The advantages of the new DSMs and the drawbacks of the previous DSMs of IFSs, PyFSs, and PFSs have been studied because of their applicability. The article is comprehensively summarized, and some possible future directions are stated.
RDF knowledge graph keyword type search using frequent patterns
Authors: Yan Wei , Ding Yuhan
Published: July 2021

With the rapid development of Semantic Web, the retrieval of RDF data has become a research hotspot. As the main method of data retrieval, keyword search has attracted much attention because of its simple operation. The existing RDF keyword search methods mainly search directly on RDF graph, which is no longer applicable to RDF knowledge graph. Firstly, we propose to transform RDF knowledge graph data into type graph to prune the search space. Then based on type graph, we extract frequent search patterns and establish a list from frequent search patterns to pattern instances. Finally, we propose a method of the Bloom coding, which can be used to quickly judge whether the information our need is in frequent search patterns. The experiments show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on both accuracy and response time.
