Natal sebagai Peristiwa Historis: Menelusuri Sejarah Natal 25 Desember
Authors: Sembiring William Wahyu
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Christmas of Jesus Christ is an annual celebration whose history is often neglected. As an important part of the ecclesiastical calendar, writings about Christmas usually revolve around reinterpreting Christmas theologically. This article will review the Christmas of Jesus Christ from a historical perspective by examining ecclesiastical documents from the past as an effort to find historical evidence regarding the Christmas event of Jesus Christ on December 25. By analizing historical documents, it was showed that Christmas on December 25 was recorded in early church documents and was not merely the result of acculturation from pagan culture, thus making the church have a basis for celebrating Christmas in accordance with Divine time pattern.Abstrak. Natal Yesus Kristus adalah perayaan tahunan yang sejarahnya sering diabaikan. Sebagai bagian penting dalam kalender gerejawi, tulisan tentang Natal biasanya berkutat tentang pemaknaan ulang mengenai Natal secara teologis. Tulisan ini akan mengulas Natal Yesus Kristus dari perspektif historis dengan meneliti dokumen-dokumen gerejawi dari masa lalu sebagai usaha mencari dan menemukan bukti-bukti sejarah tentang peristiwa Natal Yesus Kristus pada tanggal 25 Desember. Dengan memperhatikan dokumen-dokumen sejarah yang tersedia, didapati hasil dari penelitian ini adalah penetapan Natal 25 Desember sudah tercatat dalam dokumen gereja mula-mula dan bukan semata-mata hasil akulturasi dari budaya pagan, sehingga membuat gereja memiliki dasar untuk merayakan Natal sesuai dengan tata pola waktu Ilahi.
К вопросу об актуальности ESG-инвестирования
Authors: Блам И.Ю. , Ковалев С.Ю.
Published: December 2023

В статье анализируется важный аспект адаптации инвестиционных программ российских компаний к событиям 2022 г. – изменения в повестке ESG-инвестирования. Отмечается, что хотя многим предприятиям пришлось приостановить разработку и реализацию собственных ESG-стратегий, сконцентрировавшись на проблеме сохранения бизнеса, крупные экспортеры не стали отказываться от намеченных ранее целей. По мнению авторов, некоторое отступление от заявленной ESG-повестки и замедление процесса перехода на «чистые» технологии можно считать временными явлениями, вызванными сокращением имеющихся ресурсов, в то время как глобальный тренд на устойчивое развитие остается неизменным. После завершения адаптации к новым условиям и некоторой стабилизации российские компании, несомненно, будут уделять этой тематике больше внимания.
Санкционное противостояние Китая и США: к формированию новой архитектуры мировой экономики
Authors: Заклязьминская Е.О.
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена анализу ключевых аспектов санкционного противостояния между крупнейшими экономиками мира – Китаем и США. Описаны причины, ход конфликта и его вероятные последствия, даны рекомендации для России о возможностях заимствования китайского опыта в целях смягчения последствий санкционного давления. Уязвимость Китая отмечается прежде всего в области микроэлектроники, однако концентрированные усилия ученых страны и первые результаты в собственном производстве микрочипов и процессоров в условиях санкций позволят Китаю снизить риски попадания в «ловушку среднего дохода» или же в глубокую рецессию. Показано, что введенные странами Запада санкционные ограничения приводят к негативным для них самих результатам: к консолидации развивающегося мира и к становлению новой архитектуры мировой экономики, в которой доля стран БРИКС превышает аналогичные показатели Большой семерки.
Uprooting Silicon Prairie
Authors: Darmour-Paul Matthew
Published: December 2023

The American Midwest is undergoing a major renovation. A landscape known for facilitating the farming and distribution of crops and animal products is transforming to enable the proliferation of digital platforms, retrofitting infrastructure like buildings, mines, factories and fields in the service of producing hardware and software that create a platform for other actors to conduct their own business. A new economic framework called the Silicon Prairie has declared Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska as a mecca of data production. While there has been increased scholarship on the effects of the platform economy in urban areas, drawing mostly from the study of gig work, smart cities and governance optimisation, there is a noticeable gap in researching how the infrastructure of platform capitalism materialises within rural environments and smaller urban settlements. This essay presents three speculative design interventions in a project called Digital Permaculture.

Authors: Sok Sarin , Heng Kimkong
Published: December 2023

While there is a growing body of research on chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) in education, there appears to be little research that provides a comprehensive review of challenges, opportunities, and strategies for the effective utilization of ChatGPT in higher education. This study aims to fill this research gap by focusing on the opportunities, challenges, and strategies for using ChatGPT in higher education. The study adopted a literature review approach and employed document analysis as a research design. It reviewed various types of documents, particularly research articles, published since 2022 when ChatGPT was launched. Based on the extensive review, the study shows that ChatGPT offers a variety of opportunities for higher education, including assessment innovation, instructional support, remote learning support, research design and development support, academic writing support, and administrative assistance and productivity. However, ChatGPT also presents a number of challenges and issues related to academic integrity, security and privacy, reliance on artificial intelligence, learning assessment, and information accuracy. The study offers a set of recommendations for the effective utilization of ChatGPT in higher education. It concludes that the application of ChatGPT in higher education presents both benefits and challenges; thus, efforts and strategies are needed to ensure the effective use of ChatGPT for academic purposes.

Published: December 2023

The connection between academic performance and crime has been proven in many studies, but there is a lack of recent literature documenting academic performance as a mediator between predictors and crime, especially in a large population that has grown up in the digital age of which the high frequency of communication exchange differentiates it from previous times. The present study aims to discover the mediating role of academic performance in the connections between each predictor (the Internet usage, biological sex, duration of sleep, fast food intake, medical history, alternate drug use, and illegal drug use) and crime using a large data set from the national longitudinal study of adolescent to adult health (>90,000 sample size). The bivariate correlation between each predictor and crime is presented, as well as the direct and indirect effects for each predictor on crime through academic performance as the mediator. The results highlighted that there is a significant relationship between the Internet usage with crime, a negative correlation of academic performance with crime and positive correlations of fast food intake, alternative medicine use, and illegal drug use with crime. In terms of mediation analyses, academic performance mediated the relationship between all the predictors (except for duration of sleep) and crime. Results may aid education policy makers in deterring crime in the digital age by improving academic performance while targeting its predictors.

Objetivo: Descrever o perfil de eventos adversos das vacinas contra Covid-19 administradas nos trabalhadores de um hospital universitário. Método: Foi realizado um estudo observacional descritivo dos eventos adversos pós-vacinação identificados e notificados através de autorrelato por trabalhadores em saúde de um hospital universitário. Um formulário para autorrelato de eventos adversos pós-vacinação foi elaborado no Microsoft Office e disponibilizado via link para acesso e preenchimento a partir do início da campanha de vacinação no Brasil. A divulgação do formulário de autorrelato foi realizada no início das campanhas da primeira, segunda e terceira dose das vacinas contra COVID-19, através do e-mail institucional, da publicação de cartazes com acesso ao formulário via QR code na intranet e do compartilhamento pelo aplicativo WhatsApp nos grupos da Instituição. No primeiro momento, foi realizada vigilância passiva estimulada dos eventos adversos relacionados à vacina contra COVID-19. A partir de fevereiro de 2021, momento em que foi iniciada a administração da 2ª dose, adicionalmente à vigilância passiva, foi realizada busca ativa de eventos adversos pós-vacinação. Para análise dos dados foi utilizada estatística descritiva através do cálculo das frequências absoluta e relativa para as variáveis categóricas e medidas de tendência central, para o cálculo das variáveis contínuas. Resultados: Foram incluídos nesse estudo 225 registros de eventos adversos pós-vacinação envolvendo as vacinas Oxford/Covishield (Fiocruz e Astrazeneca), Coronavac (Butantan), Comirnaty (Pfizer/Wyeth). Os eventos adversos locais foram mais frequentes na terceira dose e os sistêmicos na primeira dose. Dor, endurecimento e inchaço foram os sintomas locais mais presentes. Os sistêmicos incluíram fadiga, cefaleia, dor muscular e febre. Não foram notificados eventos graves Conclusão: Os achados desse estudo sugerem que as vacinas utilizadas contra Covid-19 na população investigada apresentaram bom perfil de segurança.

CORRELATION BETWEEN CULTURAL DIMENSIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON CONFLICT STYLE PREFERENCES
Authors: RACHWAL-MUELLER A.
Published: December 2023

This paper offers a multifaceted exploration of the intricate interplay between cultural dimensions and preferences in conflict resolution styles. It delves into the profound influence of cultural values on the choices individuals make when managing conflicts, enhancing our understanding of this complex relationship. Defining culture and conflict as central constructs, the paper investigates several key cultural dimensions within Hofstede's framework. It focuses on individualism and collectivism, high and low power distance, and high and low uncertainty avoidance. Few studies cover the research on power distance and conflict style preference, underscoring the importance of understanding how individuals choose styles that align with their cultural norms, whether maintaining low or high power distance within their own cultures.
The study uncovers the correlation between different cultural types and conflict management styles. In cases of individualism, there is a preference for an avoidance style of conflict management, while collectivist cultures typically lean towards compromising and obliging conflict styles. In situations marked by high power distance, members of high power cultures are more likely to adopt an avoidance conflict style. The research holds significance for managing intercultural conflicts across various contexts, particularly in the realms of global governance, international relations, and multicultural team management. The findings provide a valuable reference for managers striving to navigate intercultural tensions and promote effective conflict resolution strategies aligned with cultural values. While this study offers valuable insights, it highlights the need for further in-depth research on additional cultural dimensions. This paper contributes to understanding the intricate relationship between culture and conflict resolution. It serves as a guide for analyzing preferences in intercultural conflicts, promoting conflict resolution management in multicultural projects, and advancing cross-cultural cooperation and understanding. Continuous research in this field is essential for more effective conflict management in an increasingly diverse global landscape.
METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF A TRANSPORT ENTERPRISE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: KUDRIAVTSEV V. , KUDRIAVTSEVA O.
Published: December 2023

The goal of this article is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of a transport enterprise, which allows to supplement and expand the system of coefficients, taking into account the specificity of initial and boundary conditions of functioning, as well as the nature of the enterprise's goals, which makes it possible to adapt to a dynamically changing environment. To achieve this goal, a number of modern general scientific methods and research techniques have been used, namely: abstract and logical, including analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction; generalisation – for reviewing information sources, studying local and foreign experience; system analysis – for a holistic perception of the research object and a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between the elements within the defined problem as a whole; problem-oriented – for scientific substantiation of the methodology for assessing the level of transport sustainable development.
Modern economic trends make it possible to emphasise the theoretical and practical importance of the problem of increasing the efficiency and sustainability of transport enterprises on the basis of technological transformation. At the same time, sustainable development of transport will entail technical and technological progress of the economy as a whole.
The paper considers a methodology for assessing the level of sustainable development of transport enterprises, which involves five stages. The study also developed an approximate goal-setting system, which can be edited by the enterprise in accordance with its own priorities. This study systematised the indicators of sustainable development, which were divided into two groups, qualitative and quantitative, based on the goals set. Also, the article proposes a general integral indicator for assessing the level of sustainable development of an enterprise, based on the target approach, within which the indicators for achieving which are divided into indicators for achieving qualitative and quantitative goals in the areas of economic, environmental, social and technological activities, which allows to assess the degree of their implementation.
The theoretical conclusions, approaches and recommendations proposed in the article can be used to determine the level of sustainable development of a transport enterprise, on the basis of which it is possible to formulate a conclusion about its ability to carry out further activities, which will allow making the right management decisions.
OPERATIONAL STRATEGY: DEFINITION OF THE TERM AND ITS PLACE IN THE PYRAMID OF ENTERPRISE STRATEGIES
Authors: VODOLAZHSKA T. , АCHKASOVA L.
Published: December 2023

The article presents the main results of the conducted scientific research in the field of operational management. It was established that in order to solve the urgent tasks of achieving strategic development by enterprises and farms in difficult conditions (quite a high level of competition; functioning in conditions of uncertainty; the need for immediate response to global and local changes, which lead to the need for rapid adaptation to new realities; the need to ensure modernization, digitalization, innovative development, quality improvement, rationalization of both production and management of enterprises in general, etc.) it is absolutely necessary to form and implement an effective set of strategies, one component of which is an operational strategy. The task of clarifying its essence, types, constituent elements, approaches to formation, sequence of development and implementation are really appropriate and require detailing. First of all, the term "operational strategy" needs to be specified.
A thorough review of modern developments and achievements of scientists and practitioners dedicated to the definition of operational strategy was carried out. Despite significant scientific work, it is concluded that the considered definitions are abstract; some of them either do not give a clear understanding of its subordination, or do not outline its place in the general system of strategic management of the enterprise.
Thus, the main purpose of the article is to formulate a definition of the term "operational strategy" based on the emphasis of its essential features and specifying its place in the general pyramid of strategies.
As a result of the research, based on identifying a set of essential features by using the supporting techniques of logic, as well as taking into account the content of the supporting (basic) terms (strategy and operational management), the definition of the term "operating strategy of the enterprise" was formulated and specified. The main essential features of this term have been established, such as: decisions on issues of general policy and plans for the use of resources; support/ensure long-term competitive strategy; achievement of strategic competitive advantage; a plan for using the firm's resources.
The place of the operational strategy in the general pyramid of strategies is specified: it is developed at the third level of management in accordance with the competitive strategy and is equal to other functional strategies of the enterprise.

American Strategic Leadership (ASL): Case of Moroccan public universities
Authors: ZAMANI Haddou , Ait Soudane Jalila
Published: December 2023

  

This research has been performed on the basis of a benchmarking which I had experimented on the American Strategic Leadership (ASL) from which it has been demonstrated that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the implementation of SL within large organizations and the improvement of their performance. This endeavor would be achieved through the development of a clear and dynamic vision centered on the development of competencies not only at the individual level, but also and above all, those specific to leading large organizations, particularly within the VUCA environment. This study aimed especially to find out the gaps within our national public universities’ community comparing to the foundational ASL framework. Then, we discussed how these findings can help facilitate a smooth and progressive ASL implementation in national universities governance through a smart and adapted induction taking in account the Moroccan culture and societal specificities. Therefore, the adoption of ASL, as a mode of governance, would be a crucial and important contribution to improving the overall performance of national public universities and their sustainability which would very likely play its fundamental key role in the development and upgrading of national human capital and ipso-facto launch them to a better repositioning on the regional and international arena.
Reconstruction of the “Eternal Jew” – a performance within the performance “Zemach”
Authors:   Tel Aviv University, Yentin Boris
Published: December 2023

The article examines the problem of reconstructing plays in contemporary theater by the example of the work of Israeli director Michael Teplitsky, who staged the play “Zemach” in 2017. This was a joint project of the “Malenky” Theater headed by Teplitsky and the National Theater of Israel “Habima,” part of which was a reconstruction of the play “Eternal Jew,” staged by Vsevolod Mchedelov based on the dramatic poem by David Pinsky in Moscow in 1920. The article considers the motives, which impelled the director to reconstruct the fragments of the performance, dated a century ago, and the artistic techniques, which he used for the original reconstruction of the historical performance.
Cognitive and emotional empathy in acute and remitted anorexia nervosa: A systematic review.
Authors: Gray Indigo Emmy , Kirkovski Melissa , Enticott Peter Gregory , Fuller-Tyszkiewicz Matthew
Published: December 2023

Impairments in empathy are well established in anorexia nervosa (AN). It is unclear, however, whether these deficits only occur in the acute phases of AN due to neurocognitive impacts of starvation (often referred to as context-dependent, or state-like), or if deficits remain once remission has been achieved (trait-like). This debate is commonly referred to as the ‘state vs trait’ debate. Objective: This systematic review aims to summarise existing literature regarding empathy in AN, and to investigate whether empathy deficits in AN are state or trait based. Method: A total of 1014 articles were identified, and seven articles remained after the screening process. These seven articles, comparing empathy across three groups (acute AN, remission of AN, and non-clinical controls), were evaluated and summarised in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Articles were required to have included all three groups and report on either cognitive empathy and/or emotional empathy. Results: The majority of studies were of satisfactory quality. The results identified were inconsistent, with few articles lending some support to the ‘state’ hypothesis and others producing nonsignificant results. Conclusions: There is minimal literature comparing empathy in acute and remission phases of AN. While there were some inconsistencies in included articles, some data indicate that there may be slight improvements to emotional and cognitive empathy following recovery of AN.
social support social stress and social motives
Authors: Zimanyi Zsuzsanna , Schüler Julia
Published: December 2023

We explore the impact of social-evaluative stress on task engagement and negative affect during a juggling task, considering types of social support ("visible", "invisible," none), gender, and social motives as moderators. One-hundred-forty participants completed motive assessments and performed a juggling task in a preparation and test phase, with social-evaluative stress and social support experimentally induced in between. Negative affect was not predicted by any of the variables. Task engagement was predicted by the interaction of social support and gender. Men exhibited a significant increase while women showed a slight decrease in task engagement with invisible social support. Additionally, considering the power motive revealed that women were minimally affected by social support, whereas men with strong power motives responded with heightened task engagement, especially with visible social support. Results suggest that social support's effectiveness in social-evaluative stress varies for affect and task engagement, with personal factors (motives, gender) acting as moderators.
TouchBoard: Reimagining the Ergonomic Keyboard
Authors: Brams Anton , Getschmann Christopher , Hornecker Eva , Echtler Florian
Published: December 2023

Despite decades of research, computer keyboards remain largely unchanged due to the enormous cost of acquiring muscle memory for efficient usage. We introduce TouchBoard, an evolution of the well-known keyboard design that expands user interactions through combining touch-sensitive keys, force sensing, targeted haptic feedback, and dynamic key labels. We discuss our design process for the TouchBoard hardware and present an exploratory study comparing TouchBoard with a conventional keyboard. Despite only a short learning phase, participants were able to use TouchBoard with initial performance at about 50% of the regular keyboard.
Comparing the persuasiveness of role-playing large language models and human experts on polarized U.S. political issues
Authors: Hackenburg Kobi , Ibrahim Lujain , Tappin Ben M , Tsakiris Manos
Published: December 2023

Advances in large language models (LLMs) could significantly disrupt political communication. In a large-scale pre-registered experiment (n=4,955), we prompted GPT-4 to generate persuasive messages impersonating the language and beliefs of U.S. political parties – a technique we term “partisan role-play” – and directly compared their persuasiveness to that of human persuasion experts. In aggregate, the persuasive impact of role-playing messages generated by GPT-4 was not significantly different from that of non-role-playing messages. However, the persuasive impact of GPT-4 rivaled, and on some issues exceeded, that of the human experts. Taken together, our findings suggest that — contrary to popular concern — instructing current LLMs to role-play as partisans offers limited persuasive advantage, but also that current LLMs can rival and even exceed the persuasiveness of human experts. These results potentially portend widespread adoption of AI tools by persuasion campaigns, with important implications for the role of AI in politics and democracy.
Evaluating the cross-disciplinary utility of anonymizing applications for scientific equipment in the Australian research sector
Authors: Kingsley Isabelle , Ho Nicholas , Chan Amanda B. , Harvey-Smith Lisa , Williams Lisa A.
Published: December 2023

Anonymizing applications for competitive research resources has been demonstrated to reduce bias against women, early career researchers and other marginalized researchers, specifically for applications to use scientific equipment in the planetary and space science research sector. We conducted a nationwide trial in Australia to evaluate the cross-disciplinary impacts of anonymizing applications for use of scientific equipment. The twofold purpose of the study was to observe the degree and existence of disparities, and to evaluate how anonymizing applications would impact application scores, success rates and resource allocation, based on the gender and career seniority of the lead researcher. The trial involved applications to four Australian research entities that manage access to national scientific facilities. The entities implemented anonymization differently. Entity-specific modelling was carried out, followed by a meta-analysis to assess overall effects. Our evaluation reveals a noteworthy absence of gender and career seniority disparities in application outcomes before the implementation of anonymization measures across most entities. The introduction of anonymization led to improved success rates for early-career researchers, while generally maintaining the existing gender equity landscape, with one entity experiencing improved success rates for women-led applications.The implications of this result extend beyond funding outcomes, which represent only one piece of the puzzle contributing to inequity in STEM research. By enhancing success rates for early career researchers, anonymization may create a positive ripple effect in the career pipeline, diversifying the research pool, and supporting the broader issue of retaining and advancing researchers facing barriers in STEM research. Future research examining cultural, racial, and other biases will be key to refining equity efforts in the STEM research sector.
Navigating Ambiguities in Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency
Authors: Lewis Dana
Published: December 2023

The recent "AGA Clinical Practice Update on the Epidemiology, Evaluation, and Management of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI)" by Whitcomb et al. seeks to increase awareness of and treatment for EPI (also known as PEI or PI) among clinical practitioners. While the update is commendable, it also reflects some of the broader ambiguities present in the current body of EPI literature. My response letter seeks to build upon the foundation set by this clinical practice update and addresses areas of ambiguity that stem from the larger EPI research landscape, which are causing confusion and resulting in variable practice by healthcare providers. This includes 1) The dual role of symptoms in both diagnosing EPI and evaluating pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) efficacy; 2) The challenges posed by the current dosing recommendations; and 3) The under-representation of certain sub-populations in EPI-related literature, influencing the broader applicability of the clinical practice update and other guidelines.

Introduction: Vitamin D levels are known to be related to prevalence of allergy and infection in children. However, vitamin D levels in infants’ umbilical cord blood need to be investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to determine association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and incidence of allergy and infection in children. Methods: A longitudinal study involving 38 full-term newborns was conducted. Serum 25(OH)D levels in infants’ umbilical cord and venous blood were measured at birth and six months, respectively. 25(OH)D levels were classified as insufficient (<20 ng/mL) and sufficient (>20 ng/mL). Parents filled out questionnaires about their children’s allergy and infection symptoms. Paired t-test was performed to compare the 25(OH)D levels at birth and at six months. Chisquared test was conducted to determine relationship between 25(OH)D levels and incidence of infection and allergy in children. Results: 25(OH)D levels in venous blood of 6-month-old infants were significantly higher than in umbilical cord blood (50.44±13.59 ng/mL vs. 20.70±6.60 ng/mL, p<0.001). In addition, 25(OH)D level insufficiency in umbilical cord blood was associated with infection (p<0.05). However, there was no incidence of allergy, and exclusive breastfeeding and sun exposure were not associated with vitamin D levels in 6-month-old infants. Conclusion: We conclude that 25(OH)D level insufficiency in umbilical cord blood was associated with incidence of infection in the first six months of life.

The aim of the study. Analyzing the known methods and technologies of soil moisture monitoring for irrigation management in the agricultural production areas in the Near-Ob region, Russia. Location and time of the study. Novosibirsk region, Russia, 2023. Methods. Comparative analysis of irrigation regime management technologies described in the literature and currently used in irrigation practice. Results. Methods of quick operational control over soil moisture using as an example a large irrigation system (Verkh-Irmenskaya irrigation system in the Novosibirsk region) were analyzed and compared. The methods were evaluated from the point of view of their applicability in large grain production areas. Of many methods of soil moisture content measurement, the neutron method and the method of soil dielectric constant measurement are described in detail, and their advantages and disadvantages identified. Electrometric methods are proposed for grain production areas. Trends in the development of irrigation technologies are outlined, primarily digitalization and automation, which allow processing large data amounts. Conclusions. At present, irrigation management technologies are mostly represented by experimental developments; the use of artificial intelligence remains mainly the prerogative of research projects. For agricultural production, determination of soil moisture reserves using soil moisture sensors is still the most popular method. From our point of view, electrometric methods are the most promising, as they are mobile, not costly and have high measurement speed.
