Published: March 2022

Background
Subcutaneous emphysema is an uncommon incident in dental treatments. This study was designed to investigate the subcutaneous emphysema cases occurred in dental treatments.
Methods
Eleven patients were diagnosed as a subcutaneous emphysema in our hospital from 2011 to 2021. These patients were evaluated for age, sex, medical history, origin tooth, dental procedure, cause, range, healing period, duration of antibiotic, and complication. And it was analyzed statistically whether the age, range, or dental procedure had influences for healing period.
Results
The average age was 48.0 ± 20.0 years. The incidence of subcutaneous emphysema was not related to age but was more common in females. Of the 11 patients, 4 had subcutaneous emphysema that had spread to the chest. It seemed that surgical procedure using an air turbine, or a handpiece is at greatest risk of subcutaneous emphysema. The average healing period, and duration of antibiotics was 8.18 ± 1.78 days, and 10.09 ± 4.30 days, respectively. The statistical results showed a significant difference in the healing period between presence and absence of some medical history.
Conclusions
This study suggests that subcutaneous emphysema is more frequent in surgical procedures using an air turbine or a handpiece, and that the presence or absence of some diseases affects the healing period.

Authors: Rita de Cássia Fraga da Costa  , Taiza Mara Rauen Moraes
Published: March 2022

Este artigo tem como referência reflexões sobre as tessituras narrativas (auto)biográficas expressas em imagens de si na artesania de um panô de memórias. A questão de pesquisa é decorrente de um revisitamento ao registro narrativo de seis oficinas de artesanias produzidas com um grupo de idosos e de um panô de memórias – criado como apresentação de si, documento narrativo construído no campo da pesquisa-dissertação defendida em 2019. A proposta caracteriza-se como um revisitamento a uma experiência sensível em tessituras de narrativas (auto) biográficas expressas em imagens subjetivas. A abordagem tem viés cartográfico e narrativo, compreendendo a comunicação dos afetos como a chave da expressão da experiência humana. A ancoragem metodológica e conceitual da pesquisa cartográfica e narrativa possibilita investigar as apropriações das linguagens como (re)invenções, (re)criações, numa rede interativa de experimentos relacionais.

Analyzability of Photoplethysmographic Smartwatch Data by the Preventicus Heartbeats Algorithm During Everyday Life: Feasibility Study (Preprint)
Authors: Merschel Steve , Reinhardt Lars
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Continuous heart rate monitoring via mobile health technologies based on photoplethysmography (PPG) has great potential for the early detection of sustained cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation. However, PPG measurements are impaired by motion artifacts.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the analyzability of smartwatch-derived PPG data during everyday life and to determine the relationship between the analyzability of the data and the activity level of the participant.

METHODS

A total of 41 (19 female and 22 male) adults in good cardiovascular health (aged 19-79 years) continuously wore a smartwatch equipped with a PPG sensor and a 3D accelerometer (Cardio Watch 287, Corsano Health BV) for a period of 24 hours that represented their individual daily routine. For each participant, smartwatch data were analyzed on a 1-minute basis by an algorithm designed for heart rhythm analysis (Preventicus Heartbeats, Preventicus GmbH). As outcomes, the percentage of analyzable data (PAD) and the mean acceleration (ACC) were calculated. To map changes of the ACC and PAD over the course of one day, the 24-hour period was divided into 8 subintervals comprising 3 hours each.

RESULTS

Univariate analysis of variance showed a large effect (ηp2> 0.6; P<.001) of time interval (phase) on the ACC and PAD. The PAD ranged between 34% and 100%, with an average of 71.5% for the whole day, which is equivalent to a period of 17.2 hours. Between midnight and 6 AM, the mean values were the highest for the PAD (>94%) and the lowest for the ACC (<6×10-3 m/s2). Regardless of the time of the day, the correlation between the PAD and ACC was strong (r=–0.64). A linear regression analysis for the averaged data resulted in an almost perfect coefficient of determination (r2=0.99).

CONCLUSIONS

This study showed a large relationship between the activity level and the analyzability of smartwatch-derived PPG data. Given the high yield of analyzable data during the nighttime, continuous arrhythmia screening seems particularly effective during sleep phases.
Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback to treat Anxiety in Young People with Autistic Spectrum Disorder: findings from a home-based pilot study (Preprint)
Authors: Coulter Helen , Donnelly Mark , Mallett John , Kernohan George
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Young people with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) frequently experience high levels of anxiety. Despite this, many clinical settings do not provide specialist ASD mental health services and demand for professional support frequently outstrips supply. Across many sectors of health, investigators have explored digital health solutions to mitigate demand and extend the reach of professional practice beyond traditional clinical settings.

OBJECTIVE

This critical appraisal and pilot feasibility study examined Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback as an approach to help people with ASD manage anxiety symptoms, outside of formal settings. The aim was to assess interventions whilst highlighting risks and benefits with this population.

METHODS

Following critical review of relevant literature, a group of 20 young people with a diagnosis of ASD (16 males: 4 females; 13-24 years) were recruited to explore the use of portable biofeedback devices, which have been reported to help regulate breathing and heart rate.

RESULTS

Results: Adoption and acceptability, assessed via remote monitoring and direct interview, indicated that most participants found the devices acceptable and useful. Levels of anxiety, assessed via pre-post questionnaires, were significantly reduced in children (p = .04) and in young adults (p = .006). These initial findings are discussed within a context of the strengths and challenges for remotely delivering a biofeedback intervention for people with ASD.

CONCLUSIONS

Heart rate variability biofeedback devices have shown promise in this pilot study. There is now a need for larger evaluation of biofeedback to determine which delivery methods achieve the greatest effect for people with ASD.

Application of quantitative methods to selection of rhythm management strategies in patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation: a retrospective observational study (Preprint)
Authors: Barrett Christopher D , Kim Rachel , Sink Eric , Tumolo Alexis , Zipse Matthew , Aleong Ryan , Garg Lohit , Sandhu Amneet , West John J. , Varosy Paul , Tzou Wendy S. , Rosenberg Michael A.
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Decisions regarding initial rhythm management strategy for patients with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF) are challenging to individualize. Prior work by our team has demonstrated feasibility of using machine learning algorithms at the level of diagnostic codes to predict rhythm management strategies; however, this work did not examine prediction models at the individual level.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to examine decisions about rhythm management for AF and associated outcomes at the individual patient level, through mapping clinical trajectories within the electronic health record. We examined use of quantitative methods to predict the use of rate- or rhythm-control therapy in patients with a new diagnosis of AF.

METHODS

We performed a targeted chart review of patients with a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in the University of Colorado healthcare system from 2011 to 2020. We used clinical and demographic information to develop and test machine learning algorithms for predicting initial rhythm management strategy, and compared models based on accuracy as well as interpretability. Time-to-event and regression analyses were performed to predict the likelihood of change in rhythm management and the risk of subsequent hospitalization or death.

RESULTS

Of 419 patients with an EHR-diagnosis of new AF, we confirmed the diagnosis in 289 patients, 194 of whom we classified as paroxysmal and 95 persistent. For all patients with AF, rhythm-control therapy resulted in more total management changes. For paroxysmal AF, rhythm-control therapy resulted in fewer hospitalizations (incidence rate ratio 0.32, 95% CI 0.19-0.34) and no difference in mortality compared to rate-control therapy. For persistent AF, rhythm control resulted in more hospitalizations (incidence rate ratio 2.44, 95% CI 1.41-4.22) with no difference in mortality. Machine learning models could predict the initial strategy with limited accuracy, which was higher in patients with persistent than paroxysmal AF.

CONCLUSIONS

Quantitative decision models for rhythm management of AF can be developed through trajectory mapping using chart review. Discussion about patient-centered outcomes should be considered when selecting initial therapy for atrial fibrillation.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Smoking cessation smartphone apps have emerged as highly accessible tools recommended by clinical guidelines to support smoking cessation efforts. It is unknown how specific app features contribute to user engagement over time and relate to smoking outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

To provide a feature-level analysis of the “Smiling instead of Smoking” app (Version 2; SiS2) and to link feature use to subsequent smoking cessation.

METHODS

Nondaily smokers (n=100) were asked to use the SiS2 app for a period of 49 days (1 week pre-quit, 6 weeks post-quit). Participants self-reported 30-day point-prevalence abstinence (PPA) at the end of this period and at 6-month follow-up. The SiS2 app engaged app users in both positive psychology content designed to maintain their positive affect, and traditional behavioral smoking cessation content to guide their quit attempt. The app sent push notifications to prompt participants to complete prescribed content (i.e., Happiness Exercise every day; Behavioral Challenge to use the app’s smoking cessation tools on 15 out of 49 days). Actions that participants took within the app were timestamped by the app and recorded.

RESULTS

Participants used the app on 24.7±13.8 days out of the 49 prescribed days, interacting with the happiness content on more days than the smoking content (23.8±13.8 vs. 17.8±10.3 days, t(99)=9.28, p<.0001). Prescribed content was completed frequently (45% of Happiness Exercises; 57% of Behavioral Challenges); ad libitum tools were used on ≤7 days. Most participants used each ad libitum smoking cessation tool within the app at least once, with higher use of personalized content (i.e., ≥92% used Strategies, Cigarette Log, Smoke Alarms, and Personal Reasons) than purely didactic content (i.e., 79% viewed Benefits of Quitting Smoking). The number of days participants used the app significantly predicted 30-day PPA at end of treatment (1.05 [1.02,1.09], p=0.002) and 6-month follow-up (1.04 [1.008,1.07], p=0.01). When looking at the specific content used, analyses showed that the number of days participants engaged with the happiness content significantly predicted smoking abstinence at both end of treatment (1.05 [1.02,1.08], p=0.002) and 6-month follow-up (1.04 [1.007,1.07], p=0.02). This effect was not significant for the number of days participants engaged with the smoking cessation content of the SiS2 app, either at end of treatment (1.04 [0.996,1.08], p=0.08) or 6-month follow-up (1.02 [0.98,1.06], p=0.29).

CONCLUSIONS

Greater SiS2 app usage predicted greater odds of self-reported 30-day PPA at both treatment end and long-term, suggesting therapeutic benefit of the SiS2 app. Positive psychology content and prescriptive clarity may promote sustained app engagement over time.

Physicochemical Characterization of Cinnamomum Tamala Seed Oil
Authors: Dutta Kajal
Published: March 2022

Abstract: Cinnamomum tamala seeds oil was extracted by an organic solvent and analyzed for its physicochemical properties i.e. acid value, iodine value, moisture content, density and refractive index. The acid value, moisture content and iodine value were 1.118 mg KOH/g oil, 0.101% and 120.32 gI2/100 g respectively. The density and refractive index of the oil were found to be 0.8986 g/cm3 and 1.4685 respectively. Gas chromatographic analysis of Cinnamomum tamala seeds oil detects the unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid (47.01 wt.% ) and oleic acid (26.32 wt.% ) which together account for more than 70% of total fatty acids. The prominent saturated fatty acid present is palmitic acid (18.97 wt.%). Keywords: Cinnamomum tamala, unsaturated acid, Musa balbisiana Colla, transesterification
Riesgos psicosociales y su relación con la salud laboral en un hospital
Authors: Castro Méndez Nelson , Suárez Cretton Ximena
Published: March 2022

Los trabajos son cada vez más exigentes, complejos y colocan en riesgo la salud y bienestar de las personas cuando las condiciones psicosociales, presentes en los contextos organizacionales, son inadecuadas. Este estudio tuvo por objetivo relacionar la enfermedad laboral con los riesgos psicosociales presentes en un hospital, estudiar posibles recursos que atenúen estos riesgos y estudiar variables asociadas al bienestar. El método incluyó un diseño observacional, analítico, transversal y una muestra total de 480 funcionarios que respondieron el cuestionario Suseso/Istas21. Se realizaron análisis de regresión lineal, inicialmente para la unidad de cirugía, que había presentado un caso de una patología en estudio relacionada a riesgo laboral, y posteriormente para todo el hospital. Los resultados muestran que las exigencias cuantitativas, el sentido del trabajo y el endeudamiento son mayores predictores sobre el reporte de síntomas en cirugía, y que el sentido del trabajo interactúa con las exigencias cuantitativas atenuando sus efectos para todo el hospital. El bienestar está asociado a la salud mental y las exigencias emocionales. Se concluye que el riesgo psicosocial se asocia a enfermedad, pero puede ser atenuado por recursos como el sentido del trabajo en un hospital.

Skills education is a necessity that must be owned by individuals in the era of globalization. This is because life skills are prioritized over knowledge, so an effective management and development system is needed. This paper aims to analyze the management of skills education development in Islam. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Reference material is a tool for analyzing and testing the validity of the data. The results of this study indicate that the life skills needed by human resources are (1) general life skills (personal skills, rational thinking skills, social skills, and interpersonal skills) and (2) specific life skills (academic skills and vocational skills). Furthermore, efforts that must be made in developing skills education include reorienting learning, providing vocational skills and reforming educational institutions in terms of management and learning culture. Finally, extracurricular design as an effort to develop student skills education.
KEPEMIMPINAN TRANSFORMASIONAL DALAM UPAYA PENGEMBANGAN SEKOLAH/MADRASAH
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad
Published: March 2022

Transformational leadership is leadership that is able to create fundamental changes and is based on religious values, systems and culture to create innovation and creativity of its followers in order to achieve the vision that has been set. This research method uses a qualitative approach to library research. The data analysis technique uses content analysis. Related to this, transformational leadership can be seen as a process of influencing, at the micro level influencing between individuals and at the macro level an attempt to mobilize power to change social systems and improve institutions, especially madrasah/schools. At the macro-level analysis, transformational leadership performs activities such as expressing and mediating conflicts between groups. Conflicts between groups create organizational constraints, but at the same time can be useful for mobilizing followers towards organizational commitment.
Risk governance and risk taking behavior of banks in emerging markets
Authors: Mashamba Tafirei , Gani Shenaaz
Published: March 2022

The study examines how risk governance mechanisms affect the risk activities of banks in emerging markets, Africa in particular. The sample comprised of forty-one banks in twelve African economies. Consistent with Akbar, Kharabsheh, Poletti-Hughes, and Shah (2017), Battaglia and Gallo (2017), and Sila, Gonzalez, and Hagendorff (2016), system GMM which controls for reverse causality and endogeneity was used for analysis. Surprisingly, the study found that the presence of a standalone risk committee, training in risk management and/or related courses, and the appointment of the chief risk officer (CRO) to the board increases instead of decreasing bank risk. Qualifications and experience in risk management or finance and the establishment of a CRO position were found to have an insignificant impact on risk outcomes. Intuitively, the study found that the appointment of females on bank boards results in risk-averse decisions and thus supports current calls for female representation on boards. A key takeaway from this paper is that establishing effective risk governance systems in emerging markets creates incentives for banks to take more risk, possibly, due to the fact that governance mechanisms that align the interests of managers and shareholders lead to higher bank risk (Felício, Rodrigues, Grove, & Greiner, 2018). This counterintuitive behavior calls for the design of appropriate governance and regulatory mechanisms that curtail bank risk in the African context.
Bayesian hybrid index and genomic cline estimation with the R package gghybrid
Authors: Bailey Richard
Published: March 2022

Admixture, the creation of individuals with combined genomic material
from multiple differentiated source populations, is now known to be a
dominant evolutionary force. Admixture increases polymorphism and can
generate novel phenotypes and selection pressures, often leading to both
novel adaptation and reproductively isolated hybrid taxa. When a large
variety of recombinant types and admixture proportions between two
source populations exist, both geographic and genomic cline analysis are
suitable methods for inferring biased, restricted, or excessive gene
flow at individual loci into the foreign genomic background. Hence,
cline analysis can provide evidence for reproductive isolation,
selection across an environmental transition, balancing selection, and
adaptive introgression, in natural hybridizing populations. Of the two
cline methods, genomic cline analysis has fewer assumptions and is
suitable in a wider variety of circumstances. Here, I introduce
gghybrid, an R package for Bayesian estimation of genome-wide hybrid
index and locus-specific genomic clines using bi-allelic data, suitable
for both small and large datasets. gghybrid uses Buerkle’s likelihood
formula to estimate hybrid index and Fitzpatrick’s logit-logistic
genomic cline function to infer restricted, extreme, or biased gene
flow. It employs the commonly available Structure file format for data
input, is highly parallelizable, and allows use of admixture proportions
estimated from other software. Parameters can be pooled across test
subjects, or their values fixed, and model comparison carried out using
both AIC and waic. Here, I describe the functions, pipeline, and
statistical properties of gghybrid.

Published: March 2022

Abstract Aims: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis
was to investigate clinical efficacy of Aloe vera (AV) as a supplement
to scaling and root planing (SRP) for conventional dental treatment .
Methods: A comprehensive and systematic search for randomized controlled
trials (RCTs) conducted before August 2021 was carried out in PubMed,
Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science. Twelve studies met the
eligibility criteria to be synthesized in the qualitative analysis, and
four eligible publications were included in the meta-analysis. A
meta-analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate the periodontal
parameters. Results: Four studies were included. Adjunctive AV treatment
reduced PPD (MD: -0.71;-1.32/-0.09) at 6 months and PPD (MD:
-1.39;-3.02/0.23) at 12 months in respect to the control group at 6
months. Adjunctive AV treatment reduced CAL (MD: -0.64;-1.13/-0.15) at 6
months and CAL (MD: -1.62;-2.79/-0.44) at 12 months in respect to the
control group. Conclusions：The adjunctive use of Aloe vera in SRP
results in improved treatment outcomes, compared with SRP alone/placebo.
However the evidence was not strong enough to safely base any clinical
recommendation, further investigation is needed to establish the
clinical efficacy of Aloe vera. Keywords: periodontal treatment; Aloe

Reading Bruno Latour's Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network-Theory
Authors: Ajvazi Irfan
Published: March 2022

Latour does not seek any “hidden” reasons behind actions; there is not
a dictionary or encyclopedia explaining the sources of the behaviors of
the actors. No meta-language is in question. The analyst cannot address
any invisible agency. If an agency is invisible, then it has no effect,
therefore it is not an agency. If an analyst says: “No one mentions it.
For Latour, agency is not limited to human beings, but objects should
also be counted as agents which is one of the most attractive aspect of
actor-network theory.
The story of the death of Nicholas II and his family through the prism of source study
Authors: Knyazev Mark A.
Published: March 2022

The historiography of the death of Russian Emperor Nicholas II, his family and retinue has been replenished with a new book. The monograph by famous historian Evgenii Pchelov The Regicide of 1918: Sources, Questions, and Versions published in 2020 by the publishing house of the Russian State University for the Humanities is based on the results of a source analysis of some issues related to the death of the members of the Russian imperial house in the Urals during the Civil War. The book consists of four sections (chapters), which respectively deal with four debatable and insufficiently studied issues within the framework of this topic. The first chapter of the book is dedicated to the mysterious fate of the documents of the White Guard investigation of the case of the murder of the tsar’s family. The author comes to the conclusion that the extant materials from different parts of the world, in general, make it possible to reconstruct the contents of eleven volumes of the case files. The second part of the work deals with the issue of interpretation of the finds made by investigator Nikolai Sokolov in the area of the Ganina Yama mine where the clothes of the victims were burned. The author disagrees with the conclusions of the White investigator about the complete destruction of the Romanovs’ remains. The third section of the book covers the controversial issue of “mysterious” inscriptions in the basement of the Ipatiev House, where the imperial family was shot. Evgenii Pchelov questions the mystical and cabbalistic background of these inscriptions, although he emphasizes that their further scientific study is necessary. In the final chapter, the author proposes a solution to the issue of whether Moscow represented by Vladimir Lenin and Yakov Sverdlov sanctioned the murder of the Romanovs in Yekaterinburg. The researcher comes to a reasonable conclusion about the presence of a tacit permission from the top Bolsheviks to destroy the tsar’s family. The review notes both positive aspects of Evgenii Pchelov’s research and some inaccurate or insufficient conclusions of the author which were caused by ignoring the previous historiography, on the one hand, and by a simplified understanding of the source-study approach as relying solely on “available sources,” on the other hand.

Authors: Colatto Iltchenco Andressa , Pacheco Ribas Letícia
Published: March 2022

Introdução: O Transtorno do Espectro Autista é um transtorno neurodesenvolvimental caracterizado pelas dificuldades de comunicação por deficiência da linguagem e do uso da imaginação para lidar com jogos simbólicos, dificuldade de socialização e padrão de comportamento restritivo e repetitivo. Objetivo: Descrever as características da interação em relação à brincadeira funcional e simbólica de três crianças com suspeita de TEA. Método: Fizeram parte do estudo três pacientes do sexo masculino na faixa etária entre 3 anos a 4 anos e 6 meses, provenientes de demanda espontânea de serviço fonoaudiológico de um hospital pediátrico. Os procedimentos constituíram-se de entrevista inicial com os pais/responsáveis e a análise da interação com o avaliador através da brincadeira semiestruturada proposta pelo Protocolo de Avaliação Comportamental para Crianças com Suspeita de Transtorno do Espectro Autista – Revisado (PROTEA-R). Resultados: As 2 crianças com risco de TEA apresentaram prejuízo do uso da linguagem para comunicação e falta de efetividade em atenção compartilhada, enquanto a que não apresentou risco utiliza a linguagem para se comunicar e demonstra adequada função de atenção compartilhada. Observou-se que características da brincadeira funcional e simbólica e a atenção compartilhada, se presentes, são aspectos que atenuam o risco para TEA. Além disso, a ausência de ecolalia também é uma variável que auxilia o possível diagnóstico. Conclusão: A observação da brincadeira se mostrou efetiva na avaliação das funções comunicacionais e interacionais de crianças autistas, auxiliando no direcionamento e na otimização do processo terapêutico.

Published: March 2022

Providing affordable, safe, and reliable care while improving performance and efficiency remains a challenge in the healthcare sector. This study reviews the previous researches on the effect of lean manufacturing practice (LMP) and industrial revolution 4.0 technologies (IR 4.0 tech) on sustainability; however, there is still a paucity of literature on the implementation of the practices in the healthcare sector. Although studies have shown that LMP has significantly impacted organizational performance in the manufacturing industry, the integrated effects of LMP and IR 4.0 technologies on sustainable performance have not been empirically examined in the healthcare sector. This study, therefore, intends to have a preliminary conceptual approach to the joint effect of LPM and IR 4.0 technologies on sustainability before subsequently going for an empirical study to address the gap in the sector. The study aimed to confirm the future direction of the public health sector that has recently been employing new technologies in its service systems. The consequent study shall be based on data collected from the health practitioners who are working and familiar with the smart tools to expedite services for healthcare. However, this present study unfolds the significant contribution of operations management practices and how sustainable performance can be enhanced through performance variation and strategic implementation in the healthcare sector. Lean practices and IR 4.0 technologies lead to improvement and operational sustainability when fully implemented in the healthcare sector.
Demystifying Muslim Consumer Religiosity: Does Sustainability Matter in Halal Food Industry?
Authors: Abdullah Johari Bin , Abdullah Firdaus , Bujang Saimi Bin
Published: March 2022

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively impacted the global Islamic economy, including the Halal food industry. Despite the pandemic, the Halal food industry continues to survive due to the growing and diverse Muslim population. Thus, researchers focus has shifted to the global Muslim consumers, especially their religiosity. Over the past few years, substantialresearch has focused on the effect of religiosity in predicting behaviour. Nevertheless, current conceptualisation and operationalisation have limited understanding of the multidimensional nature of religiosity. As such, this scarcity may not reflect the entire phenomenon. This paper aims to identify the Muslim consumer religiosity factors concerning Halal food products. The findings from this study suggest five factors that contribute to Muslim consumer religiosity, including the socio-environmental aspects that are essential pillars of sustainability. This new finding suggests that future research explore the social and environmental responsiveness concerning Muslim consumers in order for Halal practitioners to develop sustainable strategies that cater to Muslim consumer preferences.

Tax evasion amongst small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is a global concern. While the social-psychological aspect has been explored, its influence on tax evasion in SMEs is still inconclusive. This study examines the effect of fairness and transparency on the attitude towards tax evasion amongst the owners of SMEs. A mixed-mode survey was used in obtaining data from four populous divisions of Sarawak, Malaysia. Random sampling was employed in selecting the potential respondents from the service sector. Data from 91 useable questionnaires were analysed using Smart-PLS 3.0. The results revealed that distributive fairness and distributive fiscal transparency have significant negative effects on SME owners’ attitudes towards tax evasion. On the other hand, general fairness and informational transparency were insignificant. These findings may benefit the tax authority and policymakers in formulating appropriatestrategies to curb erosion of income tax revenue from tax evasion. The findings also contribute to the paucity of literature about the significance ofthe social-psychological aspect in minimizing tax evasion.

The research focuses on the philosophy of performative actionism. It refers to the contemporary practices of installations, happenings, monstrations and flash mobs on different topics as to the concept of pure action. Performance is regarded as the relevant understanding technique to manifest the currently popular dynamism principle of arts and philosophical anthropology. The research aims to analyse the art experience of the subject’s bodily actions to demonstrate their anthropological authenticity, social significance, legal value, epistemological activity, and political will. As a result, authors conclude that non-semantic silent performances reveal limited possibilities of modern human self-realisation despite having several rights, freedoms and technologies to improve their lives. Performance is viewed as a conceptual model of individual functioning in the polyontic reality. As an alternative to the linguistic one, self-representation through performance is a rather flawed but relevant means of showing the nature of the subject’s existence in the contemporary social, legal, political and cultural environment.
