A Tableau Teaching Application in Financial Data Analytics to State Local Governments: A Case Study on Louisiana Local Government
Authors: Kidwell Linda A. , Cainas Jennifer M.
Published: November 2023

This case builds students’ critical thinking skills and knowledge of how Big Data analytics are used in an audit. Using real local government data, students will utilize Tableau to create and analyze visualizations to answer questions regarding governmental entities’ fiscal health, search for anomalies, and make recommendations to management. These skills are increasingly necessary in today’s workplace and will also be more heavily tested on the CPA Exam beginning in 2024. Additionally, this case addresses AACSB Business Accreditation Standard 4, which calls for critical thinking and current, forward-looking curriculum, and AACSB Accounting Accreditation Standard 5, which calls for the integration of information technology into the curriculum and preparing students to adapt to emerging technologies. Evidence suggests this case improves students’ confidence with Big Data analytics and is a useful learning tool. The case is appropriate for use in data analytics, accounting information systems, governmental accounting, and auditing classes.

Abandoning testing for asymptomatic microscopic haematuria in Sweden – a long-term follow-up
Authors: Malmström Per-Uno , Truls Gårdmark
Published: November 2023

Objectives: To test the hypothesis that the Swedish national policy of abandoning testing for asymptomatic microscopic haematuria (AMH) introduced in 1999 did not adversely affect the prognosis of patients with urinary bladder cancer. Specific aims were to investigate possible effects on (1) Diagnostic delay as represented by stage distribution at diagnosis, (2) Survival and mortality trends, also in comparison to other countries and (3) National health care costs.
Material and methods: The design was an observational study using open sources on patients included in the Swedish National Bladder Cancer Registry 1997–2016. Outcome measures were: Changes in initial tumour presentation during 5 years after the change and long-term relative survival and mortality in comparison to the other Nordic countries. Costs related to investigations were estimated based on the national price lists.
Results: The proportion of patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive bladder cancer decreased following the policy change. The long-term relative 5-year survival increased during the study period. Mortality has remained constant during the period. In comparison to the other Nordic countries, Sweden remains among those with the best outcome despite a more restrictive approach. Cost savings because of the policy change were estimated to be substantial.
Conclusions: Based on open-source registry data, the new restrictive policy was not found to adversely affect the survival of patients with urinary bladder cancer in Sweden. These observations argue against a major negative impact of abandoning further work-up for patients with AMH and may be of use for other countries when revising guidelines. The reduced number of patients undergoing investigation may allow for increased focus and be a relief both for caregivers and the health budget.

Game on: Notes on Language Learning Potentials Through MMORPGs’ Social and Motivational Dynamics
Authors: Martins Hélder Fanha
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the dynamic intersection between Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPGs) and second language learning, focusing on the intertwined elements of motivation and social interaction. Through a review of existing research, including works by Peterson (2010), Zheng et al. (2009), Thorne et al. (2009), and Sylvén and Sundqvist (2017, 2012), the paper highlights how MMORPGs provide immersive and authentic contexts for language practice. MMORPGs foster receptive and productive language skills by engaging players in complex linguistic exchanges and culturally rich narratives. The intrinsic motivational aspects of gaming and the social dynamics of MMORPGs create an engaging learning environment. However, the paper also acknowledges challenges such as cognitive overload, the use of informal language, the potential propagation of incorrect language use, and the possibility of negative social interactions. In conclusion, while MMORPGs offer innovative platforms for language learning, careful consideration of their opportunities and challenges is essential. The article calls for continued exploration and thoughtful implementation to fully harness the educational potential of MMORPGs in language education.

Published: November 2023

The present coronavirus crisis caused major worldwide disruption. Numerous experts admit now that the crisis management was far from optimal from the very beginning. In the paper, we first digest the available information on the crisis and its management. We then list factors that led to the chosen way of crisis management. Afterwards, we question whether religious leaders could have gained enough information for them not to have supported lockdowns etc. back in March, 2020. In our opinion, they could have if they would have addressed trustworthy experts with a list of reasonable professional questions. We then analyze the question if hypothetical coercive measures are justified in the case when they are effective in decreasing the overall mortality but cause the death of several people. Our conclusion is that such measures are not justified ethically, and implementing emergency powers is justified only in the case of war. Finally, we formulate several important problems highlighted by COVID-19 to be discussed in the future.

Az életmód applikációk használatának akadályai egy feltáró kutatás tapasztalatai alapján
Authors: Kovácsné Tóth Ágnes , Ercsey Ida , Keller Veronika
Published: November 2023

Bevezetés: Az elhízás korunk népbetegsége, ami elsősorban a helytelen táplálkozási szokásokkal és a mozgásszegény életmóddal magyarázható. Az m-health alkalmazások hatékony támogatást nyújtanak az egészségmagatartás javításában. A leggyakoribb m-health applikációk közé tartoznak az életmód, vagyis a sport-fitnesz, a táplálkozási, alvás-ébrenléti állapotot követő és a meditációs alkalmazások, amelyek hazai penetrációja (~ 17%) magasabb a globális átlaghoz viszonyítva (~ 11%), de elmarad az Európai Unió tagállamainak átlagától (~ 21%). Kutatásunk célja az életmód alkalmazások elutasítási okainak feltárása volt kvalitatív és kvantitatív módszertan segítségével. Módszertan: Három fókuszcsoportos interjút készítettünk 37 másodéves rekreáció és életmód alapszakon tanuló nappali tagozatos hallgató körében, illetve online kérdőíves megkérdezést folytattunk le a 18 és 25 év közötti egyetemista, az applikációkat nem használók (n = 160), és már nem használók (n = 72) körében. A kvalitatív kutatás során felmerült témák azonosítása tematikus elemzéssel történt. A kvantitatív adatfeldolgozás egy- (helyzetmutatók) és többváltozós (faktorelemzés) statisztikai elemzések segítségével valósult meg. Eredmények: A fókuszcsoportos kutatás eredményei alapján 5 fő elutasítási indok – egyéni szempontok, felesleges, nem megfelelő, technikai- és időtényezők – került azonosításra. Az applikációk nem használatát leginkább a feleslegességgel és az érdeklődés hiányával magyarázták. A megkérdezés alapján az elutasítási indokok között (1) az információhiány és a technológiai akadály, valamint (2) az érdeklődés hiánya és a szükségtelen került azonosításra. A már nem használók az applikációk használatának felfüggesztését leginkább a motiváció elvesztésével, az unalommal magyarázták. A korábbi használat abbahagyása az (1) érintettség hiányával és a (2) demotivációval áll összefüggésben. Következtetések: Az érdeklődés elvesztése, a demotiváció és a gyenge használhatóság megjelent az akadályok között, ahogy arra korábban több nemzetközi kutatás is rávilágított. A személyes adatok védelme nem került kiemelésre. A kutatási eredmények rávilágítottak az információhiány jelentőségére, ami korábban nem került feltárásra. Fontos a tájékoztatás, és a mobil egészségügyi alkalmazások előnyös hatásainak oktatása, népszerűsítése a sport- és egészségtudományokat folytató egyetemi hallgatók körében.

Published: November 2023

Background: To better address their patients’ needs, community pharmacists are expanding from their traditional role of dispensing to managing medications and providing other care.

Objective: This study characterized services reported by pharmacists practicing in community pharmacy settings in the 2019 National Pharmacist Workforce Study (NPWS).

Methods: The 2019 NPWS was conducted via an online survey. E-mails containing survey links were sent to a systematic random sample of 96,110 U.S. pharmacists. The survey allowed tailoring of questions related to specific practice settings and for respondents in community pharmacies included reporting on delivery of twelve services. Other descriptive characteristic questions included pharmacy type, staffing, monitoring activities, self-reported workload, and respondent demographics. An index was created by summing the number of yes responses for the service questions. This index served as the dependent variable in an ordinary least squares regression examining the association of work setting chacateristics with the index.

Results: Usable responses were received from 2,150 community pharmacists. The top four services were: administer vaccines (91.1%), patient medication assistance program (83.7%), naloxone dispensing (72.8%) and medication synchronization (67.2%). The regression model was significant, with supermarket pharmacies having a higher service index than large chains. Elevated service index scores were associated with more technicians on duty, CPESN participation, direct communication with primary care providers, practicing under a CPA and  monitoring activities.

Conclusions: Pharmacy operational characteristics were important influences on the delivery of services in community pharmacies. These findings can help inform the continuing transformation of community pharmacy practice.

Seguridad personal
Authors: Acevedo-Navas Christian , Moreno-Peláez Jesús Eduardo
Published: November 2023

Este es un capítulo introductorio a la seguridad personal como una de las siete dimensiones de la seguridad humana. Mediante análisis de contenido de la literatura consultada, se rastrea el concepto de seguridad personal y se reflexiona sobre su relación con la seguridad humana. Los hallazgos permitieron definir la seguridad personal como la que busca la protección del ser humano contra la violencia física y los factores de riesgo y de vulnerabilidad que la propician. También se encontró un traslape conceptual entre seguridad personal y seguridad humana; especialmente, en las primeras menciones históricas al concepto, así como tres acepciones principales: integridad física del individuo, integridad del individuo durante la guerra y justicia social. También se destacan las perspectivas objetiva y subjetiva de la seguridad personal, así como su compleja relación con las demás dimensiones de la seguridad humana, y su relevancia como base para el desarrollo de estas.

RESILIENCIA E INTELIGENCIA EMOCIONAL: INFLUENCIA EN LA AUTOESTIMA EN UN GRUPO DE MUJERES CON CÁNCER DE MAMA
Authors: ZAYAS GARCÍA ANTONIO , LAVI MÁRQUEZ ISAAC , GUIL BOZAL ROCIO
Published: November 2023

El cáncer de mama es una afección médica considerada como un problema de salud pública, dada su elevada incidencia. Las personas que lo padecen ven afectadas diversas áreas de su vida cotidiana. En el plano psicológico, el miedo a las consecuencias derivadas de la enfermedad, a la muerte o los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos médicos, como, dolores, náuseas, o caída del cabello, entre otros, provocado por el tratamiento farmacológico, así como los cambios experimentados en la imagen corporal en el caso en los que haya cirugía radical (mastectomía), suponen eventos traumáticos que en ocasiones derivan en la aparición de cuadros psicopatológicos, siendo los más frecuentes los problemas de  ansiedad y/o depresión.

Además, los estudios muestran el impacto significativo del padecimiento de esta enfermedad en la autoestima de las mujeres, con un elevado nivel de insatisfacción consigo misma. De igual modo, se ha hallado que, tanto la autoestima, como la inteligencia emocional, entendida como la capacidad para reconocer los sentimientos propios y ajenos guardan relación con la resiliencia, como capacidad de resistir a la adversidad y salir fortalecida de la misma, percibiendo los cambios inesperados como oportunidades en vez de como situaciones problemáticas.

El objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar los niveles de autoestima, inteligencia emocional y resiliencia en un grupo de mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama en fase de tratamiento, así como analizar la relación entre la autoestima y la inteligencia emocional con respecto a la resiliencia.

Para ello se evaluó un total de 30 mujeres con diagnóstico de cáncer de mama, con una edad media de 47,47 años (DT= 6,356), que estaban siendo tratadas en el momento de la recogida de datos. Para la evaluación de las variables se administraron el Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24 (TMMS-24) (Fernández-Berrocal, Extremera, & Ramos, 2004), la Escala de Resiliencia de Wagnild y Young (1993) en su traducción al castellano (Novella, 2002) y la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (Atienza, Balaguer, & Moreno, 2000; Rosenberg, 1965).

Los resultados muestran la existencia de una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre la resiliencia e inteligencia emocional con respecto a la autoestima. En el análisis de regresión se observa que la autoestima presenta una capacidad predictiva de la resiliencia.

Por lo tanto, a través de los datos obtenidos se puede concluir que un nivel elevado de satisfacción consigo misma en estas pacientes puede favorecer una visión positiva de los eventos inesperados, los cuales son contemplados como oportunidades más que como adversidades. Estos resultados se consideran como base para estudios futuros, con una mayor muestra, de cara a la puesta en marcha de programas de intervención psicológica, dirigidos al aumento de la autoestima, y a su vez de los niveles de resiliencia en mujeres con cáncer de mama.

This short story follows the traumatic experience of rape and gendered violence of Darren. Caught in a world where some things are accepted, while others are hidden away, he attempts to live his life as genuinely as he can. But, as he relives his experiences, he shows the complicated power dynamics that many LGBTQIA+ children face with paternal figures, as well as the prevalence of statutory “corrective” rape. Through therapy Darren can move past his experiences, but many LGBTQIA+ individuals continue to bear these scars in silence. This story is a homage to those who have experienced this pain.
Critical Review on Provision concerning Use of Force on UN Charter
Authors:   Korea International Law Review, Kim Hoedong
Published: November 2023

Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter prohibits the use of force and the threat of force in principle. Only the right to self-defense under Article 51 of the Charter and the use of force approved by the United Nations Security Council are allowed as exceptions. However, there are many differences in the interpretation of Article 2(4), which prohibits the use of force in principle. Traditional interpretation which Professor Brownlie supported is that the use of force should be strictly restricted according to the purpose of the establishment of the United Nations. However, there is also the argument that the use of force should be allowed additionally if it meets the purpose of the United Nations through literal interpretation. In addition, there is an argument that Article 2 (4) should be interpreted through teleological interpretation to settle the situations such as genocide which Professor Reisman, Yale Law school argued. Nevertheless, Aforementioned theories do not provide complete logic to be able to fill a gap between the United Nations' ideology and reality.
The gap between Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and reality is not based on the essential flaws of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter. For almost 80 years after the signing of the U.N. Charter, the revision of the U.N. Charter has been amended only in procedural matters. The time has come to consider seriously the revision of the United Nations Charter in response to the development of science and technology and the resulting changes in human society. In the case of Article 2, Paragraph 4, the same aspect was encountered.

THE RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE OF INTERCULTURAL INTERACTION WITH THE NORTHERN PEOPLES (THE CASE OF THE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES OF THE INSTITUTE OF THE PEOPLES OF THE NORTH IN LENINGRAD)
Authors: Serkova Vera A. , Simonenko Tatyana I. , Samylov Oleg V.
Published: November 2023

The article examines the Russian experience of intercultural interaction with the peoples of the North based on the analysis of the forms and methods of introducing representatives of the peoples of the northern outskirts to the Russian educational tradition aimed, on the one hand, at adaptation of the small northern peoples to Russian cultural life, on the other hand, at preservation of the ethnic and cultural identity and reproduction of the forms of national culture. The development of the Arctic by the Russian explorers, the economic, political and cultural introduction to the Russian world of the nomadic population, which was mostly at the primitive stage of civilisational development, revealed to the world a unique experience of territory development and harmonious assimilation of the “small peoples” who inhabited these territories. The article pays special attention to the art workshops of the Institute of the Peoples of the North, where northern artists with exceptional natural talent were trained and special approaches to the development of their creative abilities to artistic creativity were developed. The article analyses the formation of a special “northern” art style in the workshops of the Institute in the 1930s as an example of successful cooperation between professional teachers and naive artists of the North, one of their brightest representatives being the original Nenets artist Konstantin Pankov.

Authors: Zhuo Cai
Published: November 2023

The article presents a generalisation of some features of Russian musical in the context of its history. Against the background of the worldwide promotion of the genre, musical in Russia has its own distinctive features and original history. The notable role in it was played by the “Thea-Jazz” of the artist, singer and conductor Leonid Utesov and the fi rst musical fi lm comedy “Jolly Fellows” (1934) directed by Grigory Alexandrov with the participation of Utesov and his band (the music by Isaac Dunaevsky). The further fate of Russian musicals is also associated with the parallel development of the musical fi lm genre, on the one hand, and theatrical performances in Soviet theatres of outstanding examples of foreign composers, on the other hand. Acquaintance with such works as the jazz opera “Porgy and Bess” by George Gershwin, “The Threepenny Opera” by Kurt Weill, the “My Fair Lady” musical by Frederick Loewe and “West Side Story” by Leonard Bernstein increased the interest of composers and the public in the genre and led to the appearance of their own successful versions.
Chamber Instrumental Ensemble With Piano in Works By Chinese Composers During The Period of “Reform And Openness”: an Analytical Survey
Authors: Xiaoxue Liang , Gourevich Vladimir А.
Published: November 2023

Chinese composers have been creating works for chamber instrumental ensemble with piano since the early 1930s. To date, their output has already constituted a stratum within national music, its depth and richness being hardly realised not only in the West, but even in the PRC. Despite the existence of a number of studies discussing some individual works, no analysis has considered the entire course of the genre’s development so far. Following the accepted periodisation and analysing dominant stylistic trends, the paper continues a historical survey of chamber instrumental ensemble with piano in works by Chinese composers, embracing the period from the moment when the policy of “Reform and Openness” was declared till the present day.

Authors: Dong Liang
Published: November 2023

The article analyses the features of the iconic works of the Chinese artist Wu Guanzhong, whose work signifi cantly infl uenced the development of oil painting in China in the 20th and early 21st centuries. The artist’s work is considered in the context of the infl uence of the European tradition on the development of Chinese painting. The emphasis is placed on the artist’s understanding of the traditional landscapes of China. The phenomenon of mixing painting traditions, which contributes to the formation of the artist’s unique creative method, is explored.

The decamethyldysprosocenium cation, [Dy(Cp*)2]+ (Cp* = {C5Me5}), was a target single-molecule magnet (SMM) prior to the isolation of larger dysprosocenium cations, which have recently shown magnetic memory effects up to 80 K. However the relatively short Dy···Cp*centroid distances of [Dy(Cp*)2]+, together with the reduced resonance of its vibrational modes with electronic states compared to larger dysprosocenium cations, could lead to more favorable SMM behavior. Here we report the synthesis and magnetic properties of a series of solvated adducts containing halobenzene-bound decamethyldysprosocenium cations, namely [Dy(Cp*)2(PhX-κ-X)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4] (X = F or Cl) and [Dy(Cp*)2(C6H4F2-κ2-F,F)(C6H4F2-κ-F)][Al{OC(CF3)3}4]. These complexes were prepared by the sequential reaction of [Dy(Cp*)2(μ-BH4)]∞ with allylmagnesium chloride and [NEt3H][Al{OC(CF3)3}4], followed by recrystallization from parent halobenzenes. The complexes were characterized by powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR and ATR-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and SQUID magnetometry; experimental data were rationalized by a combination of density functional theory and ab initio calculations. We find that halobenzene adducts of the [Dy(Cp*)2]+ cation are susceptible to decomposition by C–X (X = F, Cl, Br) activation and displacement of halobenzenes by O-donor ligands. The effective energy barrier to reversal of magnetization measured for [Dy(Cp*)2(PhF-κ-F)2][Al{OC(CF3)3}4] (930(6) cm–1) sets a new record for SMMs containing {Dy(Cp*)2} fragments, though all SMM parameters are lower than would be predicted for an isolated [Dy(Cp*)2]+ cation, as expected due to transverse ligand fields introduced by halobenzenes promoting magnetic relaxation.

Efficient prediction of sampling-intensive thermodynamic properties in both closed and open systems is needed to evaluate material performance and permit high-throughput materials discovery for a diverse array of technology applications, from rational design of low-density high entropy alloys, to optimizing battery cathodes, to modulating hydrogen absorption equilibria in complex metals. To alleviate the prohibitive computational expense of high-throughput configurational sampling with density functional theory (DFT), surrogate modeling strategies like cluster expansion are many orders of magnitude more efficient, but can be difficult to construct in systems with high compositional complexity. We therefore employ minimal-complexity graph neural network models that accurately predict, and can even extrapolate to out-of-train-distribution, formation energies of DFT-relaxed structures from an ideal (unrelaxed) crystallographic representation. This enables the large-scale sampling necessary for various thermodynamic property predictions that may otherwise be intractable and can be achieved with small training datasets. Two exemplars, optimizing thermodynamic stability of low-density high entropy alloys and the modulating the plateau pressure of hydrogen in metal alloys, demonstrate the power of this approach, which will be extendable to a variety of materials discovery and modeling problems.
Simulating micelle self-assembly to assess potential for viscosity build in surfactant formulations

Published: November 2023

Self-assembly of surfactants into complex structures is key to the performance of many formulated products, which form a significant fraction of the world’s manufactured goods. Here we adopt the dissipative particle dynamics simulation approach to explore the self-assembly process of surfactants, with the aim of understanding what information can be obtained that may correlate with an increased zero-shear viscosity of products. To this end we experimentally measured the zero-shear viscosity of mixed micelle systems comprised of cocoamidopropyl betaine (CAPB) and sodium lauryl sarcosinate (SLSar), and characterised the early stages of self-assembly of the same systems in simulation, as a function of the CAPB / SLSar mole ratio and pH. From simulation we identify three distinct behaviors in the micellar self-assembly process (logarithmic, linear and cubic power law growth) which we find show some degree of correlation with the experimental zero-shear viscosity. Owing to the relatively short simulation times required, this may provide formulation scientists with a practical route to identify regions of interest (i. e. those with a desired zero-shear viscosity) prior to synthesising de novo (potentially natural) surfactants.

Published: November 2023

In order to address the energy and environmental crises resulting from the extensive use of fossil fuels, countries worldwide are actively developing renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. One crucial link in achieving the large-scale, efficient utilization of renewable energy is energy storage. This paper proposes a new energy utilization scheme based on sodium, analyzes the characteristics of sodium-water reactions, and designs an energy release device for sodium in water vapor combustion. Compared to existing energy storage technologies, sodium-based solutions offer advantages like improved safety, higher energy density, lower operating costs, and faster startup and shutdown speeds. This ensures the reliable integration of large-scale renewable energy generation into the power grid, fundamentally transforming traditional energy supply models and achieve decoupling of final energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Published: November 2023

Diaryliodonium salts are bench stable aryl radical precursors. While photocatalysts are generally responsible for radical generation, recent reports have emerged exhibiting photocatalyst-free radical generation using select Lewis bases as activators. Herein, we demonstrate 1) the ability of numerous Lewis bases to enable light-driven radical generation and 2) these radicals can be captured by transition-metals for coupling reactions. These results are the first step toward developing new organometallic aryl radical coupling reactions without photocatalysts.
Cross-Linked Gold Nanoparticle Assemblies: What can we Learn from Single Flat Interfaces?

Published: November 2023

Cross-linked gold nanoparticle (GNP) assemblies are valuable for a variety of applications, such as transducers for strain or gas sensors. To pave the way for understanding their sensing behavior on an atomistic scale, we ask whether their properties can be modeled by a single, flat, particle–particle interface. Employing reactive force field (ReaxFF) molecular dynamics simulations and a tight-binding density functional the- ory approach to coherent tunneling, we find that for alkane dithiolates, where most molecules will typically bridge between the gold surfaces, the interparticle distances, as well as the conductivity of the assembly, can be modeled to even quantitative accuracy with a single-interface model — if comparing to sufficiently large GPNs for which the flat surface is a good approximation. For alkane monothiols, where each molecule is only attached on one side, the difficulty of estimating surface density and the resulting degree of interlacing results, in our case, in underestimating the interparticle distances by around 5 Å. The increase of these distances (and the decrease of conductivity) as going to longer alkane chains, however, is still well reproduced. We discuss shortcomings of ReaxFF, such as not being able to describe thiol physisorption and producing spurious reactions between dithiolates, as well as factors influencing the validity of a single, flat, particle–particle interface model. Our model reduces the system complexity significantly compared to simulating entire GNP assemblies, enabling further mechanistic investigations of sensing properties of these systems with atomistic approaches, and, potentially, screening of ligands for specific sensing applications.
