“MORAL TURN” AND THE ENTEXTUALIZATION OF HOMOSEXUALS AS PEDOPHILES IN BOLSONARO’S SPEECHES IN CONGRESS (2000 TO 2018)
Authors: MORAIS Argus Romero Abreu de , LOPES Luiz Paulo da Moita
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT In this article, we aim to carry out a qualitative-quantitative investigation of 922 shorthand notes of Federal Deputy Jair Bolsonaro´s speeches in the Chamber of Deputies from 2000 to 2018. As objectives, we analyze (i) the presence of religious and military lexical items in the hatred rhetoric of Bolsonaro throughout this chronological segmentation and (ii) the “moral turn” in his political discourse, when, from 2011 on, he starts to associate homosexuality with pedophilia. To do so, we anchored ourselves in a lexical analysis methodology, bringing Corpus Linguistics closer to Linguistic Anthropology. To that end, we distributed the data into two sub-corpora, from 2000 to 2010 and from 2011 to 2018, having as a parameter, firstly, to describe the diachronic contrast in the occurrences of 20 keywords, divided into 10 for the religious discourse and 10 for the military, and, secondly, to explain the reentextualization of the sign “pedophilia” in the (re)organization of the relationship between hate speech, homophobia and moral panic in the speeches of the politician. The pronouncements were processed in the AntConc program and in Excel. From 2011 on, the Bolsonarist discourse begins to balance the use of lexicons from the ultraconservative military discourse and the Christian fundamentalist discourse.
As origens do capitalismo monopolista: teoria e história (sécs. XIX-XX)*
Authors: Fonseca Thiago Vinícius Mantuano da
Published: June 2024

Resumo Este artigo objetiva aliar teoria e história para contribuir com o entendimento sobre as origens da forma sistêmica que nos alcança, a saber: o capitalismo monopolista. Recorrendo aos textos de Marx sobre a lei geral da acumulação capitalista, além da literatura econômica e da historiografia sobre os monopólios capitalistas, e selecionando evidências que historicizam o processo de concentração dos capitais e centralização produtiva em poucas e gigantescas empresas capitalistas, é possível analisar as origens históricas da pulsão monopolista que, na virada do século XIX para o XX, se tornou regra no mercado mundial. Na avaliação dos fatos, dos dados e na análise do processo, aquilatamos a preponderância do ocaso do capitalismo concorrencial e do surgimento do capitalismo monopolista para as expressivas mudanças sociais, geopolíticas e econômicas daquele momento e que, em partes, nos alcançam até o presente.
Norma digital y competencia ortográfica de adolescentes en contextos vulnerables: un estudio de casos
Authors: Fernández-Juliá Olga , Gómez-Camacho Alejandro
Published: June 2024

Resumen Este artículo de investigación examina la relación entre la competencia ortográfica y la competencia digital en estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria en contextos vulnerables. Se realizó un estudio de casos comparando dos centros de educación secundaria en zonas con necesidad de transformación social con dos centros sin problemas de integración social. La muestra consistió en 126 estudiantes de edades entre 14 y 16 años, seleccionados de manera intencional. Los resultados indican que no hay diferencias significativas en la relación entre ortografía académica y el uso de textismos en la comunicación digital en ambos tipos de centros. Se concluye que la escritura digital no perjudica la ortografía académica de los estudiantes adolescentes, independientemente de su entorno. Sin embargo, el alumnado de centros en zonas con necesidades de transformación social presentan un uso diferenciado de la norma digital: utilizan menos textismos léxicos, semánticos y multimodales, y cometen un número mayor de faltas de ortografía. Estos hallazgos destacan la necesidad de abordar de manera diferenciada la competencia ortográfica y digital en el ámbito educativo para los estudiantes según en contexto en el que vivan y estudien.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare accuracy of arch expansion using two different thermoplastic materials in Invisalign aligners: EX30® (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol, or PETG) and SmartTrack® (polyurethane). Methods: The study sample comprised 65 adult patients consecutively treated with Invisalign from two private practices: group 1 - treated with EX30® (358 teeth) and group 2 - treated with SmartTrack® (888 teeth). Six hundred and twenty-three measurements were assessed in three digital models throughout treatment: model 1 - initial, model 2 - predicted tooth position, and model 3 - achieved position. Sixteen reference points per arch were marked and, after best alignment, 2 points per tooth were copied from one digital model to another. Linear values of both arches were measured for canines, premolars, and first molars: on lingual gingival margins and cusp tips of every tooth. Comparisons were performed by Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test. Results: Both termoplastic materials presented significant differences between predicted and achieved values for all measurements, except for the lower molar cusp tip in the SmartTrack® group. There is no statistical difference in the accuracy of transverse expansion between these two materials. Overall accuracy for EX30® aligners in maxilla and mandible were found to be 37 and 38%, respectively; and Smarttrack® presented an overall accuracy of 56.62% in the maxilla and 68.72% in the mandible. Conclusions: It is not possible to affirm one material expands better than the other. Further controlled clinical studies should be conducted comparing SmartTrack® and EX30® under similar conditions.

A abordagem de resposta à intervenção favoreceu a identificação de crianças com perfil em risco para dislexia, as diferenciando de crianças com outras dificuldades de aprendizagem.
Oral health care in the LGBTQIA+ population
Authors: Soares Michele de Oliveira , Girianelli Vania Reis
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT This study analyzes oral health care for the LGBTQIA+ population in view of the lack of information on oral health in this population and the recent changes in the National Oral Health Policy (PNSB), that have weakened progress and enabled setbacks in this area. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out, using a semi-structured questionnaire that was self-applied online. A total of 359 people answered, 329 (91.9%) were eligible. Of these, 38% gays, 23.4% lesbians, and 13.4% transgenders. Most were between 18 and 39 years old (73.3%) and Black (51.4%). The percentage of people receiving care was high in the five years prior to the survey (92.9%), as well as in the last six months (44.7%); it was lower in the transgender population (88.7% and 18.2% respectively). Only 18.8% of this population had been treated in the public health system, and this was higher among transgender people (45.5%) and Black people (25.4%). The self-perception of oral health for the majority was good or very good (53.2%); but bad or very bad (45.5%) for transgender. Most reported preferring to be assisted by an LGBT professional (69.0%). The transgender and Black population were the most vulnerable to assistance, indicating that race, gender, and sexuality directly influence access to health care, so an intersectional approach is essential for the organization of the service.

Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT Programmatic vulnerability concerns access to and use of health resources, such as programs aimed at health prevention, care, and rehabilitation. For LGBTQIA+ older people, vulnerability issues are even more significant, since that group faces other social issues that reflect on the preparation of professionals to provide care in health services. The aim was to map the occurrence of programmatic vulnerability among LGBTQIA+ older people. This is a scoping review, guided by the JBI recommendations using the mnemonic P (LGBTQIA+ older people), C (vulnerability), and C (healthcare programs). The documents were analyzed qualitatively using the R Interface software, IRaMuTeQ. Two thematic categories were identified: The construction of comprehensive care: the role of health and social institutions in developing actions aimed at the needs of LGBTQIA+ older people; Programmatic vulnerability: gaps in care for older people belonging to sexual minorities. This study identified that situations of vulnerability are more evident in health services, long-term care institutions, and in care provided by health professionals, suffering from stigma and prejudice.

RESUMO A vulnerabilidade programática diz respeito a acesso e utilização dos recursos de saúde, como programas direcionados a prevenção, assistência e reabilitação de saúde. Para a pessoa idosa LGBTQIA+, as questões de vulnerabilidade são ainda mais significativas, uma vez que o referido grupo enfrenta outras questões de cunho social que refletem no preparo dos profissionais ante o atendimento nos serviços de saúde. Objetivou-se mapear a ocorrência da vulnerabilidade programática de pessoas idosas LGBTQIA+. Trata-se de uma revisão de escopo, orientada pelas recomendações JBI mediante o mnemônico P (Idosos LGBTQIA+), C (vulnerabilidade) e C (programas de atenção à saúde). Os documentos foram analisados qualitativamente com suporte do software Interface de R, IRaMuTeQ. Foram identificadas duas categorias temáticas: A construção do cuidado integral: o papel das instituições de saúde e social no desenvolvimento de ações voltadas para as necessidades da pessoa idosa LGBTQIA+; Vulnerabilidade programática: lacunas no cuidado à pessoa idosa pertencente a minorias sexuais. O presente estudou permitiu identificar que as pessoas idosas LGBTQIA+ podem vivenciar situações de vulnerabilidade programática, sobretudo nos serviços de saúde, instituições de longa permanência e nos atendimentos ofertados pelos profissionais de saúde, sob a ótica do estigma e preconceito.
‘Meninos vestem azul e meninas vestem rosa’: Análise do Discurso Crítica sobre a ‘ideologia de gênero’ no Ministério da Mulher, Família e Direitos Humanos
Authors: Bitencourt Leandro de Oliveira , Oliveira Maria Helena Barros de
Published: June 2024

RESUMO Este artigo investiga qual foi a principal ideologia norteadora das políticas públicas do Ministério da Mulher, Família e Direitos Humanos (MMFDH) no governo Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022). Em seu discurso de posse, Bolsonaro afirmou que um dos objetivos de seu governo seria combater a ‘ideologia de gênero’ e defender ‘os verdadeiros direitos humanos’. Assim, esta pesquisa parte da perspectiva de que, no Brasil, existe uma disputa em torno da noção de direitos humanos, e a utilização do sintagma ‘ideologia de gênero’ é um elemento-chave para compreender de que modo essa disputa ocorre no cenário político, especialmente no que diz respeito à criação de pânico moral a respeito das pessoas LGBTQA+. Com o objetivo de compreender qual é a ideologia norteadora das políticas públicas desenvolvidas pelo MMFDH, setor estatal no qual essa disputa parecia ser um elemento central, foi utilizada a Análise do Discurso Crítica como metodologia analítica. Para compor o corpus da pesquisa, foram analisados os discursos das principais representantes do MMFDH, Damares Alves e Angela Gandra, no período de 2 de janeiro de 2019 a 31 de março de 2022. Concluiu-se que, no período analisado, o MMFDH foi promotor de ‘ideologia de gênero’.

Published: June 2024

O artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa sobre amamentação, maternidade e internet no Brasil realizada entre os anos de 2020 e 2022. A investigação teve como ponto de partida a análise de conteúdos disponíveis em uma plataforma digital voltada para gestantes e mães a partir da qual procurou-se indagar de que maneira a experiência da amamentação hoje é atravessada pelas informações disponíveis on-line e pelas interações que delas decorrem. O material foi complementado por entrevistas realizadas com as usuárias da plataforma e em diálogo com outros trabalhos sobre maternidade, feminismo e internet. Procurou-se refletir, por um lado, sobre um modelo comunicacional vigente sobre amamentação e maternidade e, por outro, sobre as ambivalências que cercam as experiências das mães com o cuidado de seus filhos em interação com o ambiente digital.
“There is space, but at the same time there isn’t”: the care process analysis in psychopharmacological treatment in mental health
Authors: Pires Júnior Roberto Carlos , Marques Fabrine Costa , Rocha Lêda Antunes , Fonseca Bárbara Soares , Martins Jayne Duarte , Sampaio Cristina Andrade
Published: June 2024

Considering the challenges to psychosocial rehabilitation, this study was aimed at understanding the perspective of users and workers regarding psychopharmacological treatment. This is a qualitative study, which interviewed six providers and ten users of the Psychosocial Care Center of a municipality in the north of Minas Gerais. The transcripts were treated in Coding Cycles and examined by Discourse Analysis. Three categories related to the micropolitical dimension of care were defined: the institutional flowchart; the intercessory spaces; and the subjective production of the agents. Dissonances were revealed between statements alluding to the psychosocial care policy, with the competition of emancipatory and restrictive conceptions and technologies of care. The importance of the micropolitical analysis of care in psychopharmacological treatment was verified, favoring the processes of contractuality, protagonism, and user autonomy.

Published: June 2024

The study aimed to map the strategies used for collaborative work in Family Health Teams (FHT), inserted in Primary Health Care, in a municipality in the North of Minas. This is a qualitative study, with the methodological proposal of Cartography. Data were produced in four FHT, through participant observation, identification questionnaire, cartographic diary, semi-structured individual interview and focus group. Discourse analysis and mapping screening enabled the construction of two thematic categories and a cartographic map. It was reached that the strategies, considered lines of flight, allow existential transformations in teamwork, since they originate springs in crystallized soils, problematizing thoughts, subjectivity, and disciplinary interactions. It was concluded that hard lines should not be eliminated from teamwork, for they coexist in this reality, and what matters is how they are experienced in relationships.

Published: June 2024

Abstract Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) has emerged as a promising solution for the modernization of the construction sector. Additionally, design optimization allows for material reduction, promoting sustainable construction. Despite these advancements, there is still no standard for the assessment of the fresh state and quality control of 3DCP. This work discusses the results of quality control tests for fresh 3DCP. Specifically, seven samples with different mix designs were produced and subjected to rotational rheometry, slug tests, flow table tests, and buildability tests (i.e., the height supported prior to collapse). The results showed that the yield stress obtained from rheometry and the slug test did not match but fell within the same order of magnitude. The yield stress values obtained from rheometry were the closest to the gravity-induced stress in the buildability test. Regarding buildability prediction, the slug test exhibited the strongest correlation with the number of layers supported in buildability (R2 = 0.92); rotational rheometry also demonstrated a good correlation with that parameter (R2 = 0.80). In contrast, the results of the flow table test neither correlated with the yield stress obtained from any other tests nor proved efficient in predicting buildability. Finally, the paper presented a discussion on testing and printing challenges.

Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the challenges and threats of emergency periods. The objectsubject area is the field of the impact of emergency periods on economic sustainability and quality of life. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the strategic possibilities of an optimistic orientation of strategic management at the state level to overcome emergency periods. The priority tasks are defined: 1) identification of strategically oriented challenges of emergency periods; 2) analysis of the negative impact of the emergency period and new opportunities for society and its national economy; 3) identification of the boundaries of the stages of the emergency period; 4) justification of the economic content of strategic public administration in the emergency period. Methods of work: discursive retrospective analysis within the framework of a qualitative approach to the economic study of emergency periods. The scientific work was carried out on the basis of the general theory of strategy and methodology of strategizing by V.L. Kvint, as well as the theory of industrial organization by Jean Tirol. It is concluded that emergency periods pose serious challenges, but they can also stimulate development and changes that contribute to improving the infrastructure and structure of the economy in the long term. Scientific and practical significance: the time frame of 3 (three) stages of the emergency period is justified, the main content of strategic public administration in the emergency period is developed and proposed. The scope of application of the results obtained: federal and regional authorities and administrations of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Emergency Situations, Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Labor, etc.).
The microraion as a framework for organising life in Romania. Plans and implementations
Authors:   Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Szentesi-Nejur Szende
Published: June 2024

The present paper attempts to provide an insight into the microrayon, a form of socialist urban planning perfected in the 1960s, by presenting the development of the ideological and spatial model of the microrayon and its adaptations in Romania through two architecturally and urbanistically significant residential districts of different scales. The microrayon is considered one of the most effective propaganda machines of socialist modernity in the Eastern Bloc countries, amidst an offensive of communist values freed from the oppressive connotations of Stalinist socialist realism. The ideological apparatus, condensed into the broader concept of socialist microrayon, had three main components. The first concerned the specific urban configuration of the microrayon, which, although inspired by Clarence Perry’s neighbourhood unit, was presented as an original Soviet concept, a microcosmos of the ideal socialist community. Therefore, the discourse around the microrayon was all about collective life and the rejection of independent existence in favour of belonging to a complex system. The second mechanism of the ideological impregnation of housing operated at the level of the built space, by reducing housing types to a few standardised models of prefabricated blocks of flats, which, apart from being the result of economics taken to the extreme, were the embodiment of egalitarian politics and communism’s excessive desire for uniformity. At the third level of the intimate family space, the emphasis was on the new, the standardised and the minimal, both in regard of interior space and family life. Another important objective of the study is to shed light on the contradictory relationship between plans and realisations that characterised the communist era housing projects in Romania.
“We could have looked at the Dalmatian puppy five and ten times…”. The video phenomenon in the Gheorgheni Basin in the 1980s
Authors:   Corvinus University of Budapest, Kovács Eszter
Published: June 2024

The case study is part of a doctoral dissertation that seeks to reconstruct the everyday life of the seventies and eighties of the Gyergyó Basin in the light of recollections and informality. The present study undertakes to present an entertainment and recreation opportunity of the examined period, and to ethnographically describe the entertainment habits based on Western media products, which were widespread in the Gyergyó Basin in the period under study. I analyze the phenomenon of videography from the point of view of the operators and the participants. I examine how intertwined it was with the authorities, under what informal conditions the necessary tools were procured, the conditions were created and what impact the new kind of media content had on people. On the other hand, I am also reconstructing the operation of an exclusive group of videographers, not only religious-themed film screenings organized within the framework of the religious classes of the parish of Gyergyószárhegy. Videotaping was a modernization adaptation in the period under study, resulting from the slow infiltration of Western media products and consumer goods into Eastern Europe. In parallel, a top-down modernization pressure was also felt by the state, which was the so-called communist modernization. The mixing of the two effects, a typical feature of Eastern European modernity of the era, can be seen in the case study.
Pig stalls and urban kitchen gardens. Food shortage management and scarcity strategies in the eighties
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Horváth István
Published: June 2024

Rural tourism started to emerge in Szeklerland (Romania) after the regime change in the early 1990s, developing at a relatively rapid pace and providing supplementary income for many in precarious financial circumstances. Like all industries, it was not immune to change. My study seeks to illustrate these changes by conducting interview research in a settlement with a long history of tourism. Initial organisation and networking was followed by a process of decline and individualisation. With the emergence of rural tourism, many people started to host guests and the number of hosts increased rapidly, but has now declined again. There are several reasons for this, which stem from the transformation of rural tourism, such as the reduction in the size of tourist groups and the changing needs of the tourists who visit.
Pentecostalism and Social Integration: the Conversion of a Csángó Woman
Authors:   Romanian Institute For Research On National Minorities, Peti Lehel
Published: June 2024

Between 2013-2017, I conducted research in an ERC research project in a micro-region of Moldova in Roma, Orthodox Romanian and Moldavian Csángó Pentecostal communities. The fieldwork-based analyses focused on the ritual practices of these communities, the relationship between migration and conversion, the modelling of conversion stories, etc. (The summarizing volume of the studies: “We have the gift of Christ in us.” Pentecostalism in Romanian, Roma and Csángó communities from Moldavia. Balassi Kiadó–Erdélyi Múzeum-Egyesület, Budapest–Kolozsvár, 2020.) Based on this research project, but expanding it with new fieldwork and research perspective, the study analyzes the story of a Csangó woman who converted to Pentecostalism in a Catholic village in Moldova. The analysis gives an insight into the functioning of the norms and institutions that determine the life of the person, the reaction of the Roman Catholic community, the response of the family and the strategy of the priest in the situation. Along the lines of John Lofland and Rodney Stark’s 1967 model defining aspects of religious conversions, I present the life events deemed most important in her approach to Pentecostalism, as well as the fundamental changes in her worldview.
Sports and the Identity of Ethnies: the Case of Basque and Frisian
Authors:   University of Amsterdam, Marácz László
Published: June 2024

Full-fledged nations have had, and continue to have, the possibility to strengthen their national identity by participating in international sports competitions, such as the Olympic Games, and can use positive results in the international sports arena for national self-assertion. Globalization has opened up even more possibilities for nations to participate in international competitions. Ethnic and national minorities, classified as ethnies in the sense of Smith (see references), are excluded from these possibilities. Athletes and teams of ethnic and national minorities can only participate in international competitions if they join the sports ranks of the majority nation. However, another strategy is observed among ethnic and national minorities in order to make use of sports as a tool of soft power to strengthen internal cohesion and to team up with international sports organizations, like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF). It turns out that among ethnic and national minorities, unique sports are to be found that form a substantial attribute of their identities. In this paper, this sports strategy of ethnies will be illustrated with two case studies, namely autochthonous sports that have originated from the Basque minorities in Spain and France and the Frisian minority in the Netherlands.
The Hungarian Fencing Elite in the Service of the Soviet Union
Authors:   University of Amsterdam, Marácz László
Published: June 2024

The Soviet Union was not part of the international sports circuit during the Interwar period. After the Bolshevik October Revolution, the newly formed communist state focused on developing its own political structures, which also affected sports in the Soviet Union. After the Second World War, the policy of isolation was given up and the Soviet sports management targeted the Olympic Games as a platform to demonstrate the superiority of the communist system by planning to win the Olympic medal tally. The Soviets considered fencing a class-hostile, ‘bourgeois sport’ and did not promote it among civilians during the Interwar period. This radically changed as soon as the Soviet political and sports leadership decided to participate in the Helsinki Olympic Summer Games of 1952. The 21 medals that the Olympic fencing competition had to offer became interesting for the medal ranking. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, knowledge and experience in fencing became highly relevant for the USSR. The geopolitical relations had changed after the Second World War; now, the Soviet Union was ruling over Central and Eastern Europe, and Hungary became one of its satellites. Hungary had a long fencing tradition and dominated international and Olympic fencing competitions, especially in saber, during the Interwar period. By the end of 1951, a delegation of Hungarian elite fencers and coaches was brought to Moscow to prepare Soviet fencers for the 1952 Olympic Games. Based on this exchange and its follow-up sessions in the first half of the 1950s, the success of the Soviet fencing team progressed quickly, and in the course of the 1960s, the Soviets took over the Hungarian hegemony in the Olympic discipline of fencing.
Race, Empire, and the Horrors of a Hunnic Past in Dracula (1897)
Authors:   Utrecht University, Marácz Viktória
Published: June 2024

In this thesis, I seek to answer one of the central questions in Bram Stoker’s Dracula: who is entitled to hold hegemony in Europe, and more importantly, based on what claim? The novel treats race as the primary decisive factor in answering this question, but also links race to policies of language, national identity, and civilizational progress. The novel approaches this question through a normative English subjectivity, such as that of Jonathan Harker’s travel narrative, which juxtaposes English modernity and rationalism to the, supposedly, racially decadent Transylvanian locals. On the other hand, the novel presents Dracula as a cruel, authoritarian leader constructing an ideology of Székely (Sekler) racial purity based on militaristic achievements and an ancient Hunnic origin. The novel argues that these ideas are morally reprehensible, hence it deems these ideas a despicable, dangerous monster. Ultimately the novel is ideologically confused: it both positions the Dutch and America as potential leaders of a future of indefinite Western hegemony, and, strangely, appreciates some aspects of Dracula and his Transylvanian home. The first chapter deals with Harker’s travel narrative and the English’s claim to power based on modernity, while the second chapter analyzes its counter text, Dracula’s lecture on Transylvanian history, a rhetorical speech promoting the racial status of his Hun-Székely background. Lastly, the third chapter elaborates on the novel’s indecisiveness to the hegemony question and how its treatment of Dracula with both fear and fascination reflects tendencies in nineteenth-century Anglo-Irish Gothic literature.
An Attempt to Conceptualise Protestant Pastoral Roles
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Bálint Róbert Zoltán
Published: June 2024

In my text, I argue that the evolution of ministerial roles is influenced by the development of the church organization, social processes and expectations, and the pastor’s view of his/her vocation. While Protestant ministry and roles are shaped by these factors, the main role dimensions of Protestant ministry that emerged as a result of the Reformation have remained unchanged. Rather, the change can be seen in the shifting emphasis of the roles concerning each other and in their content. Alongside the stable existence of traditional and neo-traditional roles, there is a growing emphasis on so-called contemporary roles in ministry. In the Transylvanian context, this can be seen in the social role of the Protestant denominations that guides the religiousness of the minority Hungarian community, and in the community organizing, national identity strengthening, educational, cultural, and public activities of the ministers serving in the churches of these denomination.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the novel pretreatment Global Immune-Nutrition-Inflammation Index (GINI) can predict radiation-induced trismus (RIT) in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Data of LA-NPC patients presenting without RIT were reviewed retrospectively. Any post-CCRT maximum mouth openings (MMO) ≤ 35 mm were considered RIT. The GINI index was calculated using the formula: GINI = (CRP x Monocytes x Platelets x Neutrophils) ÷ (Albumin x Lymphocytes). We used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to examine the potential correlation between pretreatment GINI measures and post-CCRT RIT status. Logistic regression analysis examined the independence of the association between confounding factors and RIT rates. The study comprised 230 participants, and 52 (22.6%) received an RIT diagnosis. The optimal pre-CCRT GINI cutoff that dichotomizes RIT rates was determined to be 1,424 (area under the curve [AUC]: 76%; sensitivity: 75.0%; specificity: 71.7%; J-index: 0.463). RIT incidence was significantly higher in the GINI ≥ 1424 group than in its GINI < 1424 counterpart (43.3% vs. 9.3%; hazard ratio: 4.76; P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a pre-CCRT GINI ≥ 1424 was an independent predictor of increased RIT rates after definitive CCRT in this patient group (P < 0.001). In conclusion, the present results revealed that elevated pre-CCRT GINI measures (≥ 1424) can efficiently and independently predict elevated RIT rates in LA-NPC patients after CCRT.

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This paper explored the Star Chefs' images among customers who visit their restaurants in order to under-stand the effect of such images on familiarity, reputation, and loyalty.
Design/methodology/approach: The study data were collected from the target customers of South Korean Star Chef restaurants. Representative South Korean Star Chefs appearing on South Korean TV programs who are running their own restaurants were contacted and told about the objective of this study. Of the nine Star Chefs contacted for cooperation, six Star Chef restaurants agreed to join this study.
Findings: First, the Star Chef's image had a significant influence on familiarity and reputation. Second, the Star Chef's familiarity had a significant influence on reputation, and the Star Chef's familiarity had a significant influence on loyalty. Last, the Star Chef's reputation had a significant influence on loyalty.
Research limitations/implications: This study is the image and reputation were examined by personifying the brand. This type of study could not include all the different human characteristics. Additionally, there are some difficulties in generalizing this study worldwide. Because there are only a few chefs that appear on TV programs in South Korea.
Originality/value: The importance of service quality and environment has been highlighted in previous studies of restaurants, but studies of chefs who provide services are limited.
The Impact of Foreign Aid on Gender Inequality in Developin g Countries: Does It Really Work?
Authors:   People & Global Business Association, Vimala Asty F.T. Jaya Vimala Asty F.T. Jaya , Jung Jaehyun , Oh Jinhwan
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study examines how foreign aid affects gender inequality in developing countries, both at macro (overall) and micro (sectoral) levels.
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses comprehensive panel data between 2010 and 2019.
Findings: The major findings are: (1) foreign aid, particularly aid targeting women empowerment and gender equal-ity, has significantly contributed to the improvement of gender equality at the macro level except for the least developed countries, (2) at the micro level, gender-targeted aid has significantly improved the share of women in parliament and female secondary education, and (3) the availability of gender mainstreaming policies and national mechanisms for gender equality have not significantly contributed in improving gender equality.
Research limitations/implications: These findings suggest that, while donor countries should keep expanding gen-der-targeted foreign aid in developing countries, it would be crucial to improve the performance of national mecha-nisms for gender equality as well as gender mainstreaming policies in developing countries.
Originality/value: Studies have examined how foreign aid impacted gender inequality, but none of them has used gender-specific aid for an empirical approach, which is a main contribution of this study.
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Life Cycle of Tourist Destinations from Tour Operators and Hoteliers' Perspectives

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study explores the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector and tourist destinations by expanding the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model, thus providing a more comprehensive understanding of the pandemic's influence on destination and insights for developing effective revitalization strategies for tourism destinations.
Design/methodology/approach: Employing a qualitative research approach, the study utilizes the TALC model to conduct qualitative interviews with tour operators and hoteliers, aiming to gather nuanced insights into the im-pacts of the pandemic on tourism destinations. Nine tour operators and four hoteliers participated in the online interviews. Data analysis was driven by the interview responses, and thematic analysis was guided by concepts of the COVID-19 pandemic impacts and the six stages of Butler's TALC model.
Findings: Severe impact of the pandemic on tourism businesses, encompassing a decline in tourist arrivals, business closures, and substantial job and income loss. Tourist destination impacts can be classified into four distinct stages― stagnation, exploration, involvement, development, and consolidation providing a structured framework for inter―preting the evolving dynamics of tourism destinations. Contextual issues and diverse approaches are suggested to revitalize tourist destinations in order remain attractive, competitive, and sustainable.
Research limitations/implications: The restriction of the sample size to only two tourism sectors and generalizing findings due to the exploratory and qualitative nature of the research.
Originality/value: It provides insightful of pandemic impacts on tourist destination and relevant strategies, drawing upon Butler's theory. The practical implications for destination management and stakeholder engagement are in-strumental in shaping the development of effective destination management strategies.
Determinants of Re-borrowing Intention in Peer-to-Peer Lending

Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and insecurity risk on re-borrowing intention in peer-to-peer lending moderated by the facilitating condition. P2P lending in Indonesia is still at an early stage of development so there are many challenges related to insecurity and public acceptance of P2P lending financial technology.
Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a quantitative approach for survey research. The research population was peer-to-peer lending borrower in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The sample members were 207 online loan borrowers by chance contacted by the researchers in different online loan in Indonesia. The data analysis method used is the Structural Equation Modeling technique based on Partial Least Square.
Findings: The study found that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, has positive and significant effect on online loan attitude. Insecurity risk has a negative and significant effect on online loan attitude (t-test value of 5.36 and p= 0.03<0.05). Besides, online loan attitude seems proven to have a positive and significant effect on re-borrowing intention. Likewise, effect of online loan attitude on re-borrowing intention moderated by the facilitating condition.
Research limitations/implications: This research has several limitations. The variables in this research are developed from the basic TAM model by adding other variables outside TAM. The factors influencing re-borrowing behavior on online loans can differ in different theoretical approaches. Hopefully, future research can compare the results of this study with other models outside TAM.
Originality/value: It often encourages irrational decisions by re-borrowing online loans even though they realize this decision is not wise. This article attempts to fill the gap in the literature by adding insecurity factors and facilitating conditions to attitudes and intentions in using technology in the context of online P2P lending from the borrower's side.
