Authors: Sirotic Miljen , Jugovic Alen
Published: July 2023

This paper provides a bibliometric analysis of 121 articles regarding
the implications of the systems leadership perspective on the concept of
port supply chain integration complexity. Since the systems leadership
perspective characterizes an early stage of development and is still rare
and has not been addressed nor studied widely, this paper reveals relevant
results on the basis of citation analysis metrics. The bibliographic data is
extracted from the world's most renowned scientific database ISI Web of
Science, and analyzed via the VOSviewer and the HistCiteTM software. The
bibliographic coupling methodology utilized in the VOSviewer software
reveals four emergent and interconnected research clusters: (1) Port
resilience and security vulnerabilities in complex maritime networks; (2)
Big data and AI in ports; (3) Industry 4.0 essential elements for ports; and
(4) Emerging best practices for systems leadership in ports – the case of
BRI. A detailed and rigorous content analysis of the most impactful articles
is conducted in order to reveal the intellectual structure of each research
cluster, and the application of the HistCiteTM LCSe citation analysis metric
reveals the trending articles within each research cluster, enabling the
formation of future research directions for each research cluster. The
findings obtained in this paper form the basis for advancing the perspective
of systems leadership on the concept of port supply chain integration
complexity because it provides scholars easy and quick access to the major
articles forming the bedrock of each research cluster; while it may aid
industry professionals with new information relevant for improving their
decision capabilities, thus fostering the establishment of a more robust and
better integrated maritime transportation system.
ON SOME FEATURES OF THE TRACEOLOGICAL STUDY OF TRACES FORMED BY CHAINS OF GASOLINE AND ELECTRIC SAWS WHEN SAWING WOOD
Authors: Корытов Д.А.
Published: July 2023

Для расследования преступлений, связанных с незаконными рубками лесных насаждений, существенную помощь может оказать экспертное исследование изъятых с места происшествия следов трасологического происхождения – полного и неполного распила, возникающих на плоскостях разделенного ствола дерева в результате воздействия пильной цепи бензиновых и электрических пил. Определение экспертом типа пильной цепи по оставленным ею следам позволит сузить группу цепей, а также исключить тождество объектов (на этапе сравнительного исследования). В статье приведены примеры выводов, полученных по результатам трасологического исследования следов, образованных цепями бензо- и электропил при распиловке древесины.

For the investigation of crimes related to illegal logging, an expert examination of trace evidence recovered from the scene - complete and incomplete cuts arising on the planes of a split tree trunk as a result of the impact of the saw chain of petrol and electric saws - can be of substantial assistance. Determination by an expert of the type of saw chain by the traces left by it will allow narrowing the group of chains, as well as excluding the identity of ob-jects (at the stage of a comparative study). This article presents examples of conclusions drawn from the results of traces formed by chains of petrol and electric saws when sawing timber.

As Tecnologias Sociais são intimamente ligadas ao Meio Ambiente e aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Essa ligação traz para a população diversos saberes, desde conhecimentos populares e hábitos higiênicos até conceito de resolução de problemas da sociedade. A Tecnologia Social foi a ferramenta que possibilitou criar este documento, baseado na dissertação intitulada “Uso de cama de frango fermentada e não fermentada na adubação de culturas agrícolas”, com defesa apresentada em 2022. A cama de frango gerada pela produção avícola é uma grande preocupação para o meio ambiente, por se tratar de um subproduto da produção com alto potencial contaminante. Por outro lado, é um subproduto usado como adubo, rico em nutrientes que incorporam excelentes níveis nutricionais ao solo. Ao tratar do tema de destinação de cama de frango, enfrentamos um problema ambiental e social. Este documento apresenta ao produtor rural a importância de se entender a devida forma do descarte da cama de frango quando não for mais usada na criação. A cama de frango não pode ser utilizada para a adubação logo após a sua retirada do galpão. Ela deve passar por processos biológicos como compostagem, fermentação e biodigestão, os quais vão garantir que seus nutrientes estejam preparados e disponíveis para as plantas cultivadas.

CRISPRa‐based activation of Fgf21 and Fndc5 ameliorates obesity by promoting adipocytes browning
Authors: Zhu Hongtao , Liu Dan , Sui Ming , Zhou Meiling , Wang Beibei , Qi Qinqin , Wang Ting , Zhang Guo , Wan Feng , Zhang Bin
Published: July 2023

Background

Skeletal muscle‐secreted myokines widely participate in lipids metabolism through autocrine, paracrine and endocrine actions. The myokines represented by FGF21 and Irisin can promote the browning of adipocytes and serve as promising targets for treating obesity. Although recombinant myokines replacement therapy and AAV (adeno‐associated virus)‐based myokines overexpression have shown a definite effect in ameliorating obesity, novel myokine activation strategies with higher efficacy and safety are still in pressing need. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of a novel CRISPR‐based myokines activation strategy in obesity treatments.

Methods

In this study, we used lentivirus and a single AAV vector containing dCas9‐VP64 with a single‐guide RNA to selectively activate Fgf21 and Fndc5 expression in skeletal muscles both in vitro and in vivo. The activation efficacy of the CRISPRa system was determined by qRT‐PCR, Western blotting and ELISA. The treatment effect of CRISPR‐based myokines activation was tested in 3T3‐L1‐derived adipocytes and diet‐induced obese (DIO) mice (male C57BL/6 mice, induced at 6‐week‐old for 10 weeks).

Results

The virus upregulates myokines expression in both mRNA and protein levels of muscle cells in vitro and in vivo. Myokines secreted by muscle cells promoted browning of 3T3‐L1‐derived adipocytes. In vivo activation of myokines by AAVs can reduce body weight and fat mass, increase the adipocytes browning and improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in DIO mice.

Conclusions

Our study provides a novel CRISPR‐based myokines activation strategy that can ameliorate obesity by promoting adipocytes browning.
Values and Laws
Authors: Konrath Christoph
Published: July 2023

Human rights and the rule of law are integral to value debates in Europe. But value debates are rarely connected with discourses about the law and legal practice. So far, we know only little of the role of value concepts in legal discourse and how personal attitudes and value conceptions shape legal practice. This chapter aims to show how legal debates and conflicts provide us with the chance to understand the circumstances and contingencies of value and norm creation.
Solidarity: A European Value?
Authors: Quandt Markus , Lomazzi Vera
Published: July 2023

Solidarity is considered essential for the sustainability of societies, both at the level of individual contributions to society and as an aspect of cooperation between countries. As such, solidarity is often called upon by politicians in a declarative way. In contrast to most prior work, we investigate an attitudinal perspective on solidarity, not behavioural or policy-preference perspectives. We look at questions such as the prevalence of solidarity attitudes among European populations, the degree to which the declared norm is shared among these populations, and whether solidarity attitudes have changed with consecutive crises in Europe. We also discuss possible antecedents of solidarity levels. Distinguishing solidarity by close and universal scopes, we find that both are associated with the identification of citizens with communities at different levels. In country and time comparisons, European societies display a good degree of homogeneity and stability. Close solidarity is more pronounced than universal solidarity, and this may have even increased over consecutive crises. There are clear differences in relation to socio-historical region, but only modest associations with the religious composition of countries in terms of denominations. One role of religiosity might be that of an identity marker, where more heterogeneity comes with lower levels of solidarity.
A Novel Ship Domain-oriented Parameter of Ship Collision Risk Considering the Ship Maneuverability and Encounter Situation
Authors: Yang Tianyu , Wang Xin , Liu Zhengjiang
Published: July 2023

The identification of ship collision risks is an important element in maritime safety and management. The concept of the ship domain has also been studied and developed since it was proposed. Considering the existing trend that the ship domain is increasingly widely used in collision risk-related research, a new domain-oriented collision risk factor, i.e., the current state of domain (CSD), is introduced in this paper, which can effectively reflect the current state and show a certain predictability of collision risk from the perspective of the ship domain. To further prove the rationality of the CSD, a series of different simulations consisting of three typical encounter scenarios were conducted, verifying the superiority of the proposed parameter.

Published: July 2023

Psychological and behavioral stress has increased enormously during Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. However, early prediction and intervention to address psychological distress and suicidal behaviors are crucial to prevent suicide-related deaths. This study aimed to develop a machine algorithm to predict suicidal behaviors and identify essential predictors of suicidal behaviors among university students in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. An anonymous online survey was conducted among university students in Bangladesh from June 1 to June 30, 2022. A total of 2391 university students completed and submitted the questionnaires. Five different Machine Learning models (MLMs) were applied to develop a suitable algorithm for predicting suicidal behaviors among university students. In predicting suicidal behaviors, the most crucial background and demographic features were relationship status, friendly environment in the family, family income, family type, and sex. In addition, features related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic were identified as job loss, economic loss, and loss of family/relatives due to COVID-19. Moreover, factors related to mental health include depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. The performance evaluation and comparison of the MLM showed that all models behaved consistently and were comparable in predicting suicidal risk. However, the Support Vector Machine was the best and most consistent performing model among all MLMs in terms of accuracy (79%), Kappa (0.59), receiver operating characteristic (0.89), sensitivity (0.81), and specificity (0.81). Support Vector Machine is the best-performing model for predicting suicidal risks among university students in Bangladesh and can help in designing appropriate and timely suicide prevention interventions.

Mujeres en la revolución yemení de 2011
Authors: Strzelecka Ewa K.
Published: July 2023

La sociología de la revolución ha producido un corpus de conocimiento prodigioso, no obstante, aún es escasa la atención que se presta al análisis de género de los movimientos revolucionarios y de la formación de nuevos estados. El presente artículo pretende responder a este déficit, y visibilizar las dinámicas de género en la revolución yemení de 2011 y, en particular, prestar atención al significado de la participación de las mujeres. La pregunta central de esta investigación es: ¿qué diferencias y similitudes se han dado en la participación de las mujeres y de los hombres en la revolución yemení, y por qué? Tratando de responder a esta cuestión se argumenta que la lucha de las mujeres ha tenido una dimensión añadida y su objetivo ha sido de un doble alcance. Por un lado, sus demandas eran las mismas que las de los hombres, y se correspondían con las prioridades de la revolución, es decir, con el desmantelamiento del régimen y con las reformas del sistema político-social. Y, por otro lado, dadas sus experiencias específicas de opresión, las mujeres se han visto obligadas a responder contra la violencia y la discriminación de género. En consecuencia, su lucha ha implicado la articulación de unas aspiraciones emancipadoras y las demandas de mayores cuotas de derechos y de autonomía.AbstractThe sociology of revolution has produced a prodigious body of knowledge. Nonetheless, there is still little attention paid to the gender analysis of revolutionary movements and of the building of new states. The present paper attempts to bridge this gap by portraying gender dynamics in the 2011 Yemeni revolution, in particular, by focussing on the significance of the involvement of women. The main research question is: what similarities and differences have been observed between women’s and men’s engagement within the Yemeni Revolution? And why? Answering these questions, it is argued that the women’s struggle has had an additional dimension, and aimed at a double goal. On the one hand, their demands were the same as those of men, which are also consistent with the goals of the revolution, i.e. overcoming the regime and carrying out social and political reforms. On the other hand, given their specific experiences of oppression, women felt themselves obligated to respond to gender-based violence and discrimination. As a consequence, their struggles have involved the articulation of emancipatory aspirations and demands for more rights and freedoms.
Lietuvos respublikos ministrės pirmininkės sveikinimo žodis tarptautinėje mokslinėje konferencijoje „Pranciškus Skorina ir Renesanso knygos kultūra. Skorinos „Mažajai kelionių knygelei“ – 500“
Authors: Šimonytė Ingrida
Published: July 2023

Gerbiami konferencijos organizatoriai ir svečiai,

džiaugiuosi, kad visos pastarųjų metų krizės nesutrukdė Vilniuje įvykti svarbiai ir itin simbolinę prasmę šiandien turinčiai tarptautinei konferencijai „Pranciškus Skorina ir Renesanso knygos kultūra“.

Didvyriškas ukrainiečių pasipriešinimas okupantams ir jų meilė laisvei viso pasaulio akis nukreipė į regioną, kuris anksčiau santykinai domino tik nedidelę dalį.

Atsigręžta į istoriją bei santykius tarp ukrainiečių, gudų, lietuvių, į daugiakultūrį LDK paveldą, kuris padeda geriau pažinti dabartinės Europos šaknis, atpažinti unikalius jos tapatybės atspalvius.

Prieš penkis šimtus metų Vilniuje įkurta pirmoji spaustuvė regione pradėjo naują knygos kultūros etapą ir tapo vartais į Renesanso epochą.

Lietuvos Respublikos Seimas 2022 metus paskelbė Pranciškaus Skorinos metais. Tai svarus raginimas geriau pažinti persidengiančią Rytų Europos tautų istoriją.

Grįždami į Europos namus, privalėjome daug ko įvairiose srityse išmokti iš vakariau esančių Europos valstybių, kurių raidos nepertraukė sovietinė okupacija. Tačiau svarbu pripažinti, kad Europą vienija ne tik bendros ekonominio gyvenimo taisyklės ar politiniai principai, bet ir daugiakultūrė istorinė patirtis, tad gilesnis buvusio LDK regiono pažinimas gali praturtinti europietišką vaizduotę.

Tikiuosi, kad šios konferencijos įžvalgos bus įdomios ne tik specialistams, bet ir suteiks kultūrinį postūmį Lietuvos viešajai sričiai.

Nuoširdžiai sveikinu ir dėkoju visiems, tiek konferencijos rengėjams, tiek dalyviams, bei linkiu įdomių diskusijų, kurios skatintų naujus tyrimus.
Anonymity, Piracy and Counterfeiting in the Polish Language Publications in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the 2nd Half of the 16th Century
Authors: Petreikis Tomas
Published: July 2023

On the grounds of the bibliographic analysis of the publications in the Polish language in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the second half of the 16th century, this article reconstructs the phenomena of anonymity, counterfeiting and piracy. In this country, the life of the printed media was fairly liberal and hardly restricted at all. In the course of political and religious struggles, authors, translators, publishers and compilers frequently preferred to conceal the data on the real authorship and typography in their publications. Political and religious factions had to consider the opinion of the ruler and their seniority; therefore, only anonymous impact on the public opinion allowed ensuring the defense of one’s attitudes and the desired impact on the society. This strategy of anonymity was protecting the stakeholders from getting into trouble, while also expanding the scope of commercial activity for the typographers. The phenomenon of piracy was also being promoted by the different legal regulation of the printed media in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland, and, due to the physically vast distances, the feeling of impunity developed. The authors and typographers were acting honestly in such cases when the published literature contained no controversial materials, or when they had the solid backing of the powers, and also in the cases when legal protection of the printed media was ensured.

Ein Finanzgenie hat man Alfred Beit genannt. Als er 1875 nach Südafrika geht, ahnt niemand, dass der Sohn konvertierter Hamburger Juden schon bald einer der reichsten Männer seiner Zeit sein wird - durch die Diamanten von Kimberley und das Gold von Witwatersrand. Als Mitbegründer von De Beers Ltd. und als enger Freund von Cecil Rhodes - dem Motor des britischen Imperialismus im südlichen Afrika - wird er zu einem der kolonialen Väter von Rhodesien. Seit 1898 britischer Staatsbürger, versucht er in den aufkeimenden Konfliketen zwischen Kaiserreich und Empire politisch zu vermitteln - erfolglos. Selbst Kunstsammler ersten Ranges, hat Alfred Beit zahllose gemeinnützige Einrichtungen großzügig unterstützt. Auch die Hamburgische Wissenschaftliche Stiftung verdankt ihre Gründung einer seiner spektakulären Schenkungen. Dies ist die erste umfassende Biographie dieses außergewöhnlichen Kaufmanns, Kunstsammlers und international wirkenden Philanthropen.
Methodological Naturalism and Methodological Secularism Scale
Authors: Shults F LeRon , Wildman Wesley
Published: July 2023

Scholars within and across fields such as the psychology of religion, sociology of religion, cognitive science of religion, religious studies, and theology often argue about the values and norms that ought to guide “academic” research in religion. Is it appropriate in the academy to explain religious phenomena by referring to supernatural forces (such as spirits or gods) as causal agents or to defend one’s scholarly arguments by appealing to the holy texts accepted as authoritative within one’s religious coalition? Debates surrounding such questions have remained intractable for decades in part because they have been based on anecdotal personal experiences rather than clear empirical data. This article presents the Methodological Naturalism-Methodological Secularism scale, a new survey instrument capable of moving forward debates about scholarly values in the academic study of religion. This initial deployment of the MNMS scale in a population of religion scholars (N=284) clarifies extant commitments, challenges common caricatures, and reveals unfamiliar configurations of academic values.

Published: July 2023

Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de identificar un ecosistema de endemismo urbano que explique la persistencia del SARS-CoV-2 durante los primeros 18 meses de la pandemia en el municipio de Petrópolis, Río de Janeiro, Brasil. Se analizaron los registros oficiales de casos mensuales de COVID-19, georreferenciados según el domicilio de residencia de cada caso confirmado y se elaboraron mapas de calor mensuales que identifican puntos con diferentes densidades espaciales de la enfermedad mediante la aplicación de la metodología de kernel. Se identificaron puntos de calor con cinco niveles de intensidad para la densidad espacial de casos. Los puntos de mayor intensidad, conocidos como «hotspots», se mantuvieron constantes durante todo el período en un polígono de aproximadamente 4 km2 ubicado en el centro de la ciudad de Petrópolis. En conclusión, se encontró que la mayor concentración de casos se mantuvo en la misma ubicación a lo largo del tiempo, a pesar de la dispersión esporádica de los casos en el territorio municipal.

Authors: Ulum Ziadil , Asmuni Asmuni
Published: July 2023

Fitur Paylater telah menjadi populer karena memberikan kemudahan bagi konsumen yang ingin membeli barang atau memenuhi kebutuhan pembayaran lainnya, namun tidak mampu membayarnya secara langsung. Fitur ini memungkinkan pengguna untuk melakukan pembayaran nanti atau secara berkala. Aplikasi dengan fitur Paylater menawarkan manfaat yang serupa dengan kartu kredit, tetapi lebih praktis. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan mengumpulkan data melalui studi pustaka. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan normatif dan filosofis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem kredit barang dalam aplikasi Paylater, terkait dengan denda atas keterlambatan pembayaran cicilan, bertentangan dengan prinsip ekonomi Islam karena melibatkan bunga atau imbalan tambahan. Oleh karena itu, transaksi menggunakan Paylater diperbolehkan selama harga ditentukan sebelum transaksi dilakukan, dengan mematuhi prinsip-prinsip syariah dan persyaratan-persyaratan tertentu dalam hukum jual beli Islam.
The Paylater feature has become popular due to its convenience for consumers who wish to purchase goods or fulfill other payment needs but are unable to pay immediately. This feature allows users to make deferred or periodic payments. Applications with the Paylater feature offer benefits similar to credit cards but with added convenience. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, gathering data through literature review. The approach used is normative and philosophical. The findings indicate that the credit system in Paylater applications, specifically regarding penalties for late installment payments, contradicts the principles of Islamic economics due to the involvement of interest or additional charges. Therefore, Paylater transactions are permissible as long as the price is determined prior to the transaction, adhering to the principles of Sharia and specific requirements within Islamic laws of trade.
