Authors: Meng Pu
Published: November 2023

The studies of antecedent retrieval of Chinese personal pronouns have been the focus of semantic and syntactic scholars. It has also been a difficult problem for learners. This study works on the actual mastery of native Chinese speakers regarding the pronoun Ta (, he) in the third person singular in terms of anaphor features and antecedent retrieval. Two experiments, Ancient Chinese vs. Modern Standard Chinese and uncommon usage vs. common usage, reveal native speakers antecedent retrieval regarding the pronoun Ta (, he) in the third person singular. Experiment 1 found that native Chinese speakers had an error rate of about 25% when analyzing sentences containing Ta in Old Chinese and about 2% in Modern Standard Chinese. The results of Experiment 2 illustrate that native Chinese speakers made about 14% of the errors in the analysis of the uncommon usage of Ta, while only about 1% of the errors were made in the common usage. Therefore, Chinese learners do not need to know all the usage of Ta in Ancient Chinese and uncommon usage, but they need to learn all the usage in Modern Standard Chinese and common usage to achieve the goal of good understanding.

Shaping the Changbai Mountain School: Necessity and Possibility -On the Discourse Surrounding the Formation of Artistic Schools
Authors: Tong Xuesong
Published: November 2023

Artistic schools represent a theoretical paradigm in the discourse of art history and art historical narrative. While discussions on Chinese art genres and artistic schools have been prevalent in classical Chinese art, theoretical introspection regarding their existence has emerged relatively late. In recent years, there has been a growing academic debate in China about the rationality of artistic schools. Of particular interest is the assertion made by some scholars that there is no need to deliberately create artistic schools. As a duality in the realms of art history and art historical studies, does the existence of artistic schools have theoretical and aesthetic justification? What are the boundaries, and where lies their value? This paper, drawing insights from Changbai Mountain painting, combines theoretical discussions from art history to explore the rationality and limitations of the existence of artistic schools, aiming to provide a new perspective for the discourse on Chinese arts artistic schools.
Legal Protection and Recognition of Homosexuality in China
Authors: Bao Xinran
Published: November 2023

As the homosexual population in China is increasing constantly, more people are becoming more open-minded. Attitudes of ordinary people towards homosexuality have slowly changed from exclusion to acceptance. Chinese legal system needs several modifications to better protect the legal rights of homosexuals, including restrictions on violence and same-sex rape and same-sex marriage laws. Due in part to this predicament and traditional social rejection, gays live in an environment rife with violence, prejudice, pressure, psychiatric issues, and even suicide attempts. This research suggests three solutions to obtain their legal rights and social acceptance: homosexual education, a homosexual organization, and legal reforms. This study aims to further the cause of binary-sex individuals while assisting the homosexual communityand, in an ideal world, all sexual minority groupsin obtaining their legal rights and protection. It also aids in identifying the areas of the Chinese legal system that require alteration as contemporary society moves toward a more liberal ideal.
Kang Youwei: The Trans-Historical Kongjiao Movement and Confucian Universalism
Authors: Cao Wangyun
Published: November 2023

There are two overarching themes that run through Kang Youweis writings: the reform of laws as a means to save China, and the concept of Datong Shijie (). In his response to the profound transformations taking place in the world, which he referred to as the unprecedented changes of three thousand years, Kang Youwei sought to adapt traditional Confucian teachings (jingxue) and other conventional ideologies. However, his ambitious endeavor to establish a Confucian national cult ultimately met with failure. The academic community has long held divergent views on Kang Youwei. While his early ideas and efforts to reform the legal system are generally viewed positively, his later ideas supporting monarchy are often dismissed. This paper analyzes Kang Youweis thought and the formation and inclination of the concept of Datong, as well as its interconnections with the Kongjiao movement. It can be concluded that the lack of historical precedent for establishing Kongjiao as a system in China and peoples apprehensions about the potential political implications of Kongjiao led to the failure of Kang Youweis reform movement. Moreover, Kang Youweis advocacy of Datong through the establishment of Kongjiao failed to resonate with the literati of that time. Undeniably, there is a possibility that Kongjiao could become a new locus of power outside imperial authority.

The Importance of Uric Acid High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio As an Indicator of Visceral Adiposity
Authors: FTEL Serpil , MERCANTEPE Filiz
Published: November 2023

Objective: A number of anthropometric measurements are being developed to detect metabolic risks in overweight and obesity. Our purpose is to investigate the relationship of visceral adipocyte index (VAI), which is useful as a marker of adipocyte dysfunction with the ratio of uric acid to high-density lipoprotein ratio (UHR), an inflammatory marker, considering body mass index groups and accompanying metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Material and Methods: In all, 509 female participants aged 18-60 years, admitted to the Outpatient Department of Endocrinology, Erzurum Training, and Research Hospital, were involved in this study. Our study group consisted of 409 patients (63 overweight, 202 obese, and 144 morbid obese) and 100 healthy controls. Anthropometric measurements, including height, weight, and waist circumferences, were measured, and VAI values were calculated for all participants. All subjects had been tested with biochemistry analysis for lipid profile tests and uric acid.
Results: UHR level was significantly elevated in the patient group [10.9 (3.8-30.4%)] compared with the control group [7.29 (3.44-19.3 %)]. The highest UHR level was found in the morbid obese group, 12.3 (5.8-30 %), and the lowest UHR level was in the overweight group [8.63 (3.8-17 %)]. A moderately strong positive correlation was found between VAI and UHR in both patient and control groups, and the strongest correlation was found in the overweight group (r=0.586, R2=0.319). In addition, the UHR level was 12.2 (6-30%) in the patient group with MetS and 9.7 (3.8-23%) in the patients without MetS.
Conclusion: Since the BMI is insufficient regarding prognosis and obesity-related mortality, it should be supported with VAI, a new anthropometric cardiometabolic risk indicator. UHR might be a sensitive and accurate indicator of visceral fat excess even in the early stages of obesity and MetS.

Authors: nal Alk
Published: November 2023

Objective: Anogenital warts (AGWs) are among the most common sexually transmitted viral infections characterized by verrucae located in the anogenital region due to human papillomavirus. Although tests for other sexually transmitted diseases are recommended for patients diagnosed with AGWs, there is not sufficient information concerning the frequency of coinfections. This study aimed to determine the frequency of coinfection with hepatitis B, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis in patients diagnosed with AGWs.
Materials and Methods: For the 401 patients who presented to the Dermatology Clinic of XXX Hospital between 2014 and 2020 and were diagnosed with AGWs by a dermatologist, the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis C virus antibody (anti-HCV), anti-HIV, venereal disease research laboratory and treponema pallidum hemagglutination test results, and demographic characteristics were recorded. As controls, 350 patients who presented to the same hospital for a check-up and who did not have AGWs according to systemic examinations were evaluated, and the HBsAg, anti-HCV and anti-HIV results and demographic characteristics of these patients were also recorded for comparisons.
Results: Hepatitis B was positive in 12 (3%) patients in the AGW group and seven (2%) patients in the control group. Hepatitis C was positive in two (0.5%) patients in the AGW group and negative in all the controls. While two (0.5%) patients in the AGW group were HIV-positive, all the controls were HIV-negative.
Conclusion: The frequencies of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV were found to be significantly higher in the AGW group than in the control group.

Published: November 2023

Aim: Opioids have indispensable roles in pain management. There is a strong link between opioid use and memory impairments, mainly with continuous use. This study investigated the effects of two opioid drugs, meperidine and fentanyl, on emotional memory functions and brain morphology and the possible protective effects of low-dose ketamine in mice.
Material and Methods: A passive avoidance (PA) test was used to measure emotional memory functions following seven daily drug applications in 48 male Balb/C mice (30-35 g). Meperidine (10 mg/kg), fentanyl (0.3 mg/kg), ketamine (5 mg/kg), and combinations of ketamine with the opioids were intraperitoneally injected daily. No drugs were utilized during the testing days. Brain tissues were obtained after sacrification and put into diluted formalin solution for histopathological analysis.
Results: Transfer latencies of the meperidine and fentanyl-treated groups were lower than in the vehicle-treated group (p<0.01, p<0.05, respectively). Ketamine combined with meperidine had higher latencies than in the meperidine-treated group (p<0.05). The protective effects of ketamine were evident against fentanyl and meperidine-induced neurotoxicity; histologic alterations were reduced.
Conclusion: Low-dose ketamine may fend against opioid-induced neurotoxicity and emotional memory impairments, especially against meperidine, which can be a practical alternative to fentanyl in clinical settings.

A TRIBUTAÇÃO DE UMA INITIAL COIN OFFERING (ICO) SOB PERSPECTIVA DO DIREITO INTERNACIONAL
Authors: Gomes Marcus Lívio , Da Silva Cavagni Marília
Published: November 2023

A tributação por si só no Brasil é um fenômeno complexo, a compreensão de suas discussões requer conhecimento sobre a prática de negócios e interação com outras especialidades jurídicas. Quando o assunto é a digitalização da economia, torna-se um desafio ainda maior, pois além da falta de regulamentação, existe um grande vácuo de conhecimento operacional dos novos modelos de negócio. Com esses novos modelos de negócio baseados em tecnologia, surgiram novas formas de captação de recursos, como, por exemplo, o Inittial Coin Offering – ICO, que é um método de arrecadação de fundos possibilitado pelo desenvolvimento do Blockchain e tokens criptográficos. Essa quebra estrutural na maneira tradicional de captação de recursos faz necessária uma reanálise das regras de alocação de direitos de tributar de acordo com o princípio da origem da riqueza (origin of wealth principle). Para tanto, torna-se necessário o conhecimento e análise de questões amplas de política fiscal globais, bem como uma compreensão desse mecanismo que se diferencia da arrecadação no mercado regulado (IPO), questões essas que este trabalho se propõe a tratar.

It is con-cluded that the hospital must consider the distinctive characteristics of the study groups and coordinate with the territorial network of mental health the continuity of care in its interventions.
Influencing factors of post-transplantation diabetes mellitus in kidney transplant recipients and establishment of a risk prediction model.
Authors: Dong Yuan
Published: November 2023

The aim was to explore the influencing factors of post-trans-plantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in kidney transplant recipients and to es-tablish a risk prediction model. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 408 patients subjected to kidney transplantation from May 2015 to March 2022. With the simple random sampling method, they were divided into a training set (n=306) and a test set (n=102) at a ratio of 3:1. According to the occurrence of PTDM, the training set was further classified into PTDM and non-PTDM groups. The influencing factors of PTDM were identified by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multivariate logistic regression analysis. A nomogram prediction model was constructed and validated. Non-PT-DM and PTDM groups had significantly different preoperative body mass index (BMI), family history of diabetes mellitus, 2-h preoperative and postprandial blood glucose, 2-hpreoperative and postprandial peptide index, postoperative hypomagnesemia, whole blood concentration of tacrolimus, triacylglycerol, glycated albumin and fasting blood glucose (P<0.05). BMI, family history of diabetes mellitus, 2-h preoperative and postprandial blood glucose, and post-operative whole blood tacrolimus concentration were independent risk factors for PTDM. In contrast, the 2-h preoperative and postprandial peptide index was an independent protective factor (P<0.05). The incidence of PTDM in patients receiving kidney transplantation correlates with the family history of diabetes mellitus, preoperative BMI, 2-h postprandial blood glucose, 2-h postprandial peptide index, and postoperative whole blood tacrolimus concentration.

Abstract. Many types of stress, including psychological stress, nega-tively affect reproductive health. This study aimed to investigate the ef-fects of sertraline (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), cerebrolysin (neuroprotective/neurotrophic), and a combination of both against stress-induced ovarian damage, infertility and pregnancy delay in female rats. The rats were divided into five groups (n=14/each group) as healthy (HG), stress control (StC), stress+sertraline (SS), stress+cerebrolysin (SC), and stress+sertraline+cerebrolysin (SSC). To induce stress, animals (except the HG) were kept in a supine position with their forelimbs and hindlimbs (FIM) tied for one hour. Then, sertraline (20mg/kg) was given orally to the SS. Cerebrolysin (2.5ml/kg) was injected into the SC subcutaneously. Sertraline+cerebrolysin was administered to SSC with the same methods and doses. FIM and drug administration continued for 30 days. Six rats from each group were euthanized with high-dose anesthesia, right and left ovarian tissues were removed, and tissues were examined biochemically and histopathologi-cally. The remaining rats were taken for breeding. Exposure to stress in rats caused an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL -1β), and interleukin-6 (IL -6) levels and a decrease in total glutathione (tGSH). Stress was related to histopathological damage, infertility, and delayed birth. The sertraline and cerebrolysin combination was the most effective in preventing these changes, with sertraline and cerebroly-sin alone in second and third places, respectively. Regarding efficacy, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and related drugs may be beneficial in treating stress-related ovarian damage, infertility, and delay in pregnancy.

Published: November 2023

This qualitative research paper investigates the multifaceted phenomenon of contractual employment in India, with a particular emphasis on understanding its implications for workers. The study dives into the experiences and opinions of many stakeholders involved in the contractual employment system using a foresight lens. This study intends to expose the effects of contractual employment and labour law subversion on employees' lives by conducting in-depth interviews with workers, management personnel, and academicians. The findings offer insight into the intricate interplay of social, economic, and political factors that contribute to the frequency and persistence of contract labour in India. Based on the findings, this study simulates various situations that emerge depending upon the impending labour code changes and also details the subsequent steps that are to be taken. The solutions to the problems encountered by contract workers are much more holistic in nature and require an in-depth local-level analysis and coordination. This study provides a detailed knowledge of the complexities connected with contractual work in India by using a foresight lens. It provides vital insights to stakeholders involved in the issue, such as workers, management, and academics, allowing them to pursue more equitable and just work systems. Ultimately, this research underscores the critical importance of addressing the complexities surrounding contractual employment, recognizing the need to safeguard workers' rights and welfare, and fostering an environment conducive to fair and sustainable employment practices in India.
Governance of Skill Development and Policy Perspectives: A Comparison of India, US, EU and China
Authors: S. Abhijith Varadaraj , Smitha K. C.
Published: November 2023

Governments across the world have developed strong policy frameworks stimulating the growth of skill ecosystems. The aim of this paper is to present the evolution of policy framework for skill development across India, USA, the EU and China from a comparative perspective. The 'Skill India Mission' emphasizes employability, while skill policies across the US are focused on reducing the dependence on skill imports. The European Agenda for Skill (EAS) meanwhile emphasizes skilling citizens for the transition towards digital and greenways. Similarly, Chinese skill policies address the structural contradictions in the employment scenario. However, the policies addressing skill development depend on multiple factors such as demographic profile, socio-economic realities, industry needs, and political aspirations. Therefore, countries around the world focused on skill development must prioritise stakeholder interventions, increase in budget allocation, integrating soft skills with academically-based education, and vocational content which is crucial for transforming the workforce.
Between Policy and Lived Realities: Situating the Experiences of Interstate Migrant Workers in Kerala
Authors: Ali Anshif
Published: November 2023

Kerala has a long history of emigration and immigration of migrant workers, especially to the Gulf countries, leading to labour shortages filled by migrants from other states in the country seeking higher wages and better opportunities. Around 3.4 million interstate migrants work in Kerala's construction, manufacturing, agriculture and other sectors. Migrants have achieved partial integration into Kerala society by learning Malayalam to foster better communication, marrying locals in some cases, and adding North Indian cuisine and culture to the local landscape. However, they also face discrimination and exploitation at times.
Despite Kerala's progressive policies for migrant welfare like housing, insurance, education and language support schemes, many migrants are unaware or unable to access benefits. Migrants still face hardships including unfair wages, poor living conditions, lack of healthcare, and have protested against rights violations. More inclusive, practical policies addressing migrants' realities and upholding their rights are needed. While Kerala governments have taken proactive and progressive measures, policy and migrants' lived realities remain disconnected, undermining their wellbeing. Bridging this disconnect by making policy consultative, rights-based and grounded in migrants' needs is essential for their sustainable welfare and dignity. The inclusive development of migrants as co-citizens with equitable rights is contingent on the state reconciling policy and ground realities.
