Pregnancy outcome after pharmacological treatment of adenomyosis of the external myometrium: case report
Authors: Wang Xinyue , Shao Xiaoguang , Lan Xiaohan , Zhang Jie
Published: January 2025

Adenomyosis is the implantation of active endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and it is one of the common diseases that cause infertility in women. Adenomyosis can be classified into that of the internal and external myometrium depending on the location of the lesion. The external adenomyosis in this article means the lesion is located in the outer shell of the uterus, which is separated from the intact junction zone(JZ), and there are served healthy muscular structures between the adenomyosis and the JZ. And the internal adenomyosis means that in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the lesions develops in direct connection to the thickened JZ, and the adenomyosis are preserved inside the healthy muscular structure.
Although the gold standard for the diagnosis of adenomyosis is postoperative pathology, several studies propose that transvaginal ultrasound(TVUS) and MRI can be used as preoperative diagnostic tools. Comparing with TVUS, 3D-TVUS can display uterine cavity more clearly besides areas of outer involment. And MRI can confirm the status of the uterine myometrium further and classify the adenomyosis leision. Besides the above two imaging examinations, CA-125 is an also important factor for assessing condition and change of this disease.
The internal and external myometrium of this disease should be considered as two different entitles and their treatment ideas should be distinct. Particularly, adenomyosis with infertility should be received comprehensive evaluation(3D-TVUS+MRI+CA125) and appropriate pregnancy planning.

Published: January 2025

Objective: Patients with poor ovarian reserve usually present with both high cancellation rates in stimulation ovulation cycles and low live birth rates, which represent the important clinical challenges in in vitro fertilization. Our study aimed to investigate optimal ovarian stimulation via retrospective clinical analysis of pregnancy outcomes achieved by in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer（IVF/ICSI-ET) with multiple stimulation schemes in poor ovarian reserves (PORs).
Materials and methods: In this study, we compared 5 regimens for POR patients undergoing IVF/ICSI in Dalian Women and Children’s Medical group and Affiliated Zhongshan hospital of Dalian University, Dalian, China, from January 2021 to October 2024 according to POSEIDON criteria. Patients were classified into progestin-primed ovarian stimulation（PPOS), modified natural, corpus luteum, GnRH-antagonist and minor stimulation groups. Clinical analytic indexes including rates of retrieved oocytes, embryos, fresh embryo transfer cycles and pregnancy were the main outcomes.
Results: Comparing with the other groups, GnRH-antagonist group resulted with higher Gonadotrophin duration, Gonadotrophin dosage, number of oocytes retrieved and fertilized oocytes. Better clinical outcomes consist of higher rates of oocytes retrieved, transferrable embryos,fresh embryo transfer cycles, embryo implantation, pregnancy were obtained in GnRH-antagonist group. Modified natural group and minor stimulation group has lower oocytes retrieved number, the startup dose and total amount of Gn is smaller, and the Gn use is shorter, which leads to a decrease in the number of antral follicles, and thus reducing the number of oocytes retrieved and available embryos.
Conclusion: The duration and total dose of Gn stimulation were longer and higher in the GnRH-antagonists，but also provided more retrieved oocytes, preferential oocytes. Further more，in fresh embryo transfer，GnRH-antagonists are associated with higher clinical pregnancy.
Dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinases (DYRKs) and cancer
Authors: Moududee Sayed A. , You Zongbing
Published: January 2025

Dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase (DYRK) belongs to the CMGC group of kinases that are named after cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), glycogen synthase kinases (GSKs), and CDC-like kinases (CLKs).  DYRK-related kinases comprise a novel subfamily of protein kinases with unique structural, biochemical, and enzymatic features. In humans, DYRKs phosphorylate a set of proteins and play a critical role in apoptosis, DNA damage repair, cell proliferation, survival, and development. Dysregulation of DYRK protein kinases has been associated with cancer biology. In recent years, several studies have reported some kinase inhibitors affecting cancer development and progression, making them potential therapeutic drugs. However, challenges remain in understanding the molecular mechanisms and roles of each member of DYRK family in cancer initiation and progression. In this review, we will highlight the importance of DYRK kinases in cancer biology.

Plk1, a promising THERAPEUTIC target for prostate cancer treatment
Authors: Peng Jia , Nouri Mansoureh , Maasoumyhaghighi Hamed , Liu Jinghui , Liu Xiaoqi
Published: January 2025

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among men in the United States. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has long been the cornerstone of treatment for advanced prostate cancer. However, most patients eventually develop resistance, leading to progression into the lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) stage, which is associated with poor survival rates. While next-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSIs), such as enzalutamide and abiraterone, have revolutionized CRPC treatment, resistance to these therapies remains a significant challenge, rendering the disease incurable. Recent studies have identified Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1), a master regulator of mitosis, as a key driver of prostate cancer progression, particularly in CRPC. PLK1 activation has been linked to critical pathways, including oxidative stress responses, lipid metabolism, and androgen receptor (AR) signaling, which collectively promote tumor growth and ARSIs resistance. Moreover, PLK1 can regulate chromosomal stability and DNA damage repair pathways, contributing to sensitivity to irradiation therapy. Additionally, PLK1 plays a role in driving resistance to targeted therapies, such as PARP inhibitors, in BRCA-mutant CRPC. Compelling evidence further suggests that combining PLK1 inhibition with paclitaxel could serve as an effective therapeutic strategy to overcome resistance in CRPC by targeting microtubule dynamics. This review examines the mechanistic role and broader implications of PLK1 in CRPC treatment, offering valuable insights into potential combination therapies to improve efficacy and patient outcomes.
EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL RISKS ON THE SUPPLY CHAIN: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Authors: Incekara Rahmi , Incekara Beyhan
Published: January 2025

Purpose- The lockdowns and restrictions imposed as part of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which first emerged in China, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and its broader geopolitical implications, and tensions in other geographies have exacerbated an already problematic global supply chain situation. While freight markets have limited direct contact with Russia and Ukraine, global logistics have exposed supply chains to an increasing number of risk factors, including airspace restrictions, uncertainty about the future path of consumer demand, and China’s ongoing interventions regarding the COVID-19 process. The effects of various economic and geopolitical risks on the supply chain are the main analysis subject of this study.
Methodology- In accordance with the scope of the study, the causality analysis suggested by Toda Yamamoto was applied between the Baltic Dry Cargo Index (BALTIC) and Brent oil prices (BRENT). In the study, data covering the period 2020:1-2023:12 at monthly frequency was used. In order to examine the relationship between Baltic Dry Cargo Index (BALTIC) and Brent oil prices (BRENT), data regarding the causality analysis proposed by Toda and Yamamoto are shared in tables. Extended Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test was used to analyze the data. The results are presented in tables and interpreted.
Findings- The effects of risks, conflicts and crises that arise in different ways in different geographies on the supply chain are examined in detail with country examples. The problems experienced by countries against supply chain problems, steps taken towards solutions, the effects of crises experienced in the supply chain, and future scenarios are presented in detail in different regions. This study clearly states that geopolitical tensions and the pandemic have dealt a significant blow to the supply chain, and that the disruptions in the supply chain have reached a level that will leave countries helpless
Conclusion In the study, the relationship between the Baltic Dry Index (BALTIC) and Brent oil prices (BRENT) was empirically examined. Contrary to studies in the literature, no significant causality relationship was found between the two variables. In the study, it was emphasized that the cost increases in the supply chain and transportation axis were not due to oil prices, but geopolitical and economic risks. Geopolitical and economic risks arise from pandemics, political instability at international borders, trade conflicts and legislative changes. Increases in risks, tariffs, trade restrictions and sanctions disrupt supply chains, increase costs and hinder market access. The increase in risks experienced in recent years has been a determinant in the disruption of supply chains and the increase in costs.

THE IMPACT OF THE QUALITY OF SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF LARGE COMPANIES OPERATING IN PORTUGAL
Authors: Faria Marcia , Monteiro Sónia , Roque Vanda
Published: January 2025

Purpose- The purpose of this paper is to investigate if the quality of sustainability reporting influences the financial performance of the largest Portuguese companies. Specifically, the paper aims to: i) evaluate the quality of sustainability reporting among Portuguese companies; ii) determine whether sustainability reporting quality impacts their financial performance.
Methodology- We evaluate sustainability reporting quality through content analysis of 2021 sustainability reports. Based on GRI Standards 502 disclosure requirements, we created a Sustainability Reporting Quality Index calculated as the ratio of disclosed items to total requirements. This global index is also divided into economic, environmental, and social sub-indices.
To analyze the impact of sustainability reporting quality on financial performance, we used a multiple linear regression model with ROE for 2022 as the dependent variable, and the sustainability index as independent variable. We also control for company size, revenue growth, and leverage.
Findings: The results indicate that Portuguese companies meet on average about 20% of GRI Standards disclosure requirements, indicating relatively low reporting quality. Among the sub-indices, companies disclose mainly information on economic performance, followed by social and environmental information. The findings also reveal that, although sustainability reporting quality has a positive effect on the financial performance of Portuguese companies, this impact is not statistically significant across all indices. Among the control variables, only revenue growth rate is statistically significant, exhibiting a positive relationship with financial performance.
Conclusion: This study investigates the impact of sustainability reporting quality on the financial performance of large Portuguese companies, using an innovative sustainability reporting index based on all GRI Standards disclosure requirements. The study finds that sustainability reporting quality in Portugal is generally low and has no significant impact of financial performance. A key limitation is the focus on the short term, which may miss potential long-term effects.

Drawing on Herbert Marcuse’s critical perspectives in One-Dimensional Man, the study investigates how technopolitical forces contribute to contemporary challenges like social isolation, political polarization, and changes in public discourse. Incorporating insights from sociology, political science, psychology, and technology studies, this research provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of technopolitical structures and their effects on modern society. The paper aims to offer a deeper understanding of technopolitics along with practical insights for addressing its impacts on society.
Methodology- A diverse methodological approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analysis, case studies, and historical comparisons, has been used to capture the multi-layered nature of technopolitics and its varied implications for social structures and governance.
Findings- The research highlights that rapid technological changes have redefined human interactions, fostering social isolation and weakening traditional community ties. As technology increasingly intersects with politics, it reshapes political engagement, with digital platforms altering public discourse and transforming the nature of conflict and participation. An important finding is the evolving role of engineers, who now not only develop technological systems but also influence political processes and public opinion. The concept of a “technopolitical ecosystem” is introduced, emphasizing the close link between technology and politics and the need for a comprehensive approach to navigate these impacts. The findings underline the importance of considering technological advancements from a sociological perspective to develop policies that are both sustainable and effective.
Conclusion- This paper underscores the profound influence of technological progress on social and political structures, demonstrating how technopolitics shapes relationships and governance alike. Through a multidisciplinary lens and historical and contemporary examples, the study advocates for careful, inclusive strategies to ensure that technological advancements support social cohesion and political stability.

EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA CRISIS MANAGEMENT ON CUSTOMER TRUST AND CORPORATE REPUTATION: THE CASE OF STARBUCKS TURKIYE
Authors: Basaran Dogan
Published: January 2025

Purpose- This study examines the impact of social media crisis management on corporate reputation, customer trust, and communication quality, focusing specifically on Starbucks Türkiye's responses to crises. The study aims to differentiate between proactive and reactive crisis management strategies and assess their effects on consumer perceptions during crises like the February 6 earthquake and the ongoing Palestine war.
Methodology- The research utilizes a sample of 348 participants who engaged in boycotting Starbucks Türkiye due to its crisis responses. Data collection was conducted via online surveys, with participants selected based on prior Starbucks consumption and boycott involvement. Data analysis employed SPSS 25 and SmartPLS 4 to evaluate the impact of proactive and reactive crisis management on customer trust, corporate reputation, and communication quality.
Findings- The findings indicate that proactive crisis management strategies, characterized by transparency, empathy, and prompt responses, positively impact corporate reputation and sustain customer trust. Conversely, reactive crisis management—often marked by delays and inconsistent messages—negatively affects trust and communication quality. Additionally, the study underscores that effective communication quality, especially during crises, significantly strengthens customer trust, fostering loyalty and enhancing long-term relationships, although it has a limited direct impact on corporate reputation.
Conclusion- The study concludes that proactive crisis management is essential for companies facing public scrutiny, particularly on social media. Starbucks Türkiye’s experience highlights the critical role of transparent, empathetic, and timely communication in managing reputational risks and maintaining customer trust. Organizations are encouraged to prioritize proactive crisis strategies that include clear, consistent messaging and active engagement with stakeholders to mitigate negative perceptions. Reactive approaches, while sometimes necessary, should focus on quick, authentic responses to minimize potential damage. The study suggests further research to explore additional factors that may mediate the link between communication quality and corporate reputation, especially in high-stakes digital environments.

WHICH EPU HAS BETTER PREDICTIVE POWER IN FORECASTING THE RETURN AND VOLATILITY OF STOCK INDICES
Authors: Tuysuz Sukriye
Published: January 2025

Purpose- This study examines the predictive power of domestic and foreign Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) indices-specifically from the US, China, Europe, and globally-on the return and realized volatility (RV) of 20 global stock indices using monthly data spanning over 25 years.
Methodology- The dynamic connectedness method is applied to analyze the spillover effects of EPUs across stock markets.
Findings- The empirical results reveal that EPU impacts RV more significantly than returns, with Global and US EPUs emerging as primary drivers across most regions and periods. Notably, Chinese EPU consistently exhibits minimal influence, while local EPUs have pronounced effects in economies with heightened political, economic, and financial uncertainties. Contrary to expectations, EPUs from major trade partners and regional EPUs do not exhibit superior predictive power compared to Global and US EPUs. These insights are critical for investors, risk managers, and policymakers in optimizing strategies amidst evolving economic uncertainties.
Conclusion- The findings indicate that Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) has a stronger influence on realized volatility (RV) than on stock returns, with Global and US EPUs serving as the dominant predictors across most regions and periods. In contrast, Chinese EPU consistently has minimal impact, while local EPUs play a significant role in countries with pronounced political and economic instability. Surprisingly, EPUs from major trade partners and regional EPUs do not outperform Global and US EPUs in predictive power. These insights underscore the importance of focusing on global and US-driven uncertainties for strategic decision-making by investors, risk managers, and policymakers.

Keywords: Economic policy uncertainty (EPU), stock indices, return, realized variance, dynamic connectedness.

DETERMINANTS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY ADOPTION: EVIDENCE FROM AN EMERGING ECONOMY
Authors: Atellu Antony Rahim
Published: January 2025

Purpose- Cryptocurrency adoption has tremendously improved in Sub-Saharan Africa's emerging economies. Despite this trend, less emphasis has been placed on determinants of cryptocurrency adoption in such economies. This study extended the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), to examine aspects that determine cryptocurrency adoption in Kenya. The study findings may assist policymakers in developing a sturdy regulatory framework for adopting digital assets and monitoring Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs).
Methodology- Data was collected through questionnaires from 400 students, graduates, and investors who had information about cryptocurrency. The study employed a structural equation model to estimate our latent constructs.
Findings- Results confirmed the hypotheses that perceived utility, perceived ease of usage, perceived risk, attitude, and subjective norms are significant constructs in determining behavioral intent to use cryptocurrency in Kenya. Further, the mediatory role of attitude on cryptocurrency adoption was also confirmed.
Conclusion- Policies that promote the introduction of an e-cash platform, regulation of digital system currencies, social mass awareness, and cryptocurrency companies with good reputations should be introduced by the government to ensure the development of the cryptocurrency market in Kenya.

Pathological roles of ubiquitination and deubiquitination systems in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction
Authors: Wang Zhiping , Sun Simiao , Huang Lili , Chen Xinlong , Xu Huifen , Ma Hongwei , Xiao Mingbing , Wang Linhua
Published: January 2025

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is a severe complication of sepsis, characterized by impaired cardiac function and high mortality rates. Despite significant advances in understanding sepsis pathophysiology, the molecular mechanisms underlying SIMD remain incompletely elucidated. Ubiquitination and deubiquitination, critical post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulating protein stability, localization, and activity, play pivotal roles in cellular processes, such as inflammation, apoptosis, mitochondrial function, and calcium handling. Dysregulation of these systems has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of SIMD. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathological mechanisms driving SIMD, with a focus on the classification and functions of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), their regulatory systems, and their involvement in SIMD. Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), often driven by altered activity of E3 ligases, accelerates the degradation of critical regulatory proteins, thereby exacerbating cardiac inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Concurrently, imbalances in DUB activity disrupt protein homeostasis, further amplifying myocardial injury. Emerging research underscores the therapeutic potential of targeting these systems. Strategies aimed at modulating E3 ligase activity or restoring DUB balance have shown promise in preclinical studies. This review summarizes current findings on the roles of ubiquitination and deubiquitination in SIMD pathogenesis, highlights the key challenges in advancing this field, and proposes directions for future research.
Specialization Preferences of Medical Faculty Students, Consideration of Choosing Medical Pharmacology and Related Factors; An Example of Term 3
Authors: Özkula Songül , Doğan Edanur
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aims to determine the specialty preferences of third-year medical students and their considerations regarding choosing Medical Pharmacology as a specialty, as well as to evaluate the related factors.
Material and Method: The universe of this cross-sectional analytical study consisted of 3rd-year students of Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine. Data were collected by using a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. Analyses were conducted by using SPSS 22.0 software.
Results: The data of 143 participants were used in this study, and 85.3% of the participants indicated that they chose the medical faculty by their own will. 97.9% of the research group stated that they planned to specialize after graduation. The specialty that the participants considered most for the Medical Specialization Exam was internal medicine with 57.3%.14.7% of the group expressing a desire to specialize in medical pharmacology. The most preferred factor affecting the choice of medical pharmacology was the absence of night shifts at 49.7%.
Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that the majority of medical students planned to specialize, and many of them stated that they preferred areas of specialization within medicine. The primary rationale for preferring medical pharmacology is the absence of seizures, whereas the main reason for its disfavor is the perceived lack of professional satisfaction. Determining the factors affecting the specialty preferences of medical school students and addressing relevant issues is important for increasing the effectiveness of health service delivery. Therefore, comprehensive studies are needed on this subject.
Producción de dibujos, pinturas e ilustraciones en tiempos breves: experiencias con estudiantes de segundo ciclo básico y enseñanza media desde la paradoja de la elección
Authors: Rodríguez Salinas Juan Francisco , Valdés Bascuñán Ivonne
Published: January 2025

When children or young people, who can be considered potential graphic artists, dedicate themselves to performing figurative art (drawing, painting, illustrating), they do so first of all in a self-taught way. Then, when they are interested and intend to improve, they pay attention to the technical factors that may or may not be taught in formal education. The problem occurs when, during the training period, the interests of any potential graphic artist are not satisfied with what is within reach, either because they do not have the prior skills to unite them with their own technical expertise at the time they arrive. ; or the necessary ones are not taught at the time they should, so that potential artists obtain observable improvements in their artistic performances.
A qualitative study is carried out in which the effectiveness of a proposal that is characterized by the use of limited material and the paradox of choice is investigated.
The conclusion has been that potential graphic artists between 10 and 17 years old perceived that they improved their level by knowing what they could achieve with library materials defined by the teacher, in periods of 4 hours or less.

Remarks on estate and political consciousness in the interregnum after Louis of Anjou
Authors: Wróbel Dariusz Adam
Published: January 2025

The interregnum after the death of Louis of Anjou (1382-1384) was an important period for the development of the social and political consciousness of active social groups in medieval Poland. The main sources of information on these issues are documents produced during public meetings and discussions. The Chronicle of John of Czarnkow also provides a lot of interesting information. An important component of the social consciousness of that time was the concept of political community (lat. communitas) at the local and national level. They were used to emphasize political unity and attachment to the idea of the common good. The noble landowner communities formed in the second half of the 14th century confederated in 1382, and two years later they also opened up to townspeople. The political community of the Kingdom composed of representatives of the nobility and townspeople turned out to be a short-lived entity, existing until the end of the interregnum. Later it was reduced to nobility.
Narrative by Jan Długosz About Two Perjuries of King Władysław III of Poland
Authors: Obara-Pawłowska Anna
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to analyse records in the Annals or Chronicles of the FamousKingdom of Poland by Jan Długosz about two perjuries which were supposedly perpetratedby King Władysław III of Poland at the time of fi ghts against Turks in 1443–1444. The fi rstperjury was related to the abrogation of the Treaty of Szeged sworn by the ruler, whichwas meant to end the war with Turkey. This topic, confi rmed in other sources, has beenthe subject of historians’ studies for a long time. The second falsehood, so far treated byscholars rather marginally as a kind of addition to the narrative on a sinful life of theyoung ruler, was to be based on breaking a promise made to God about rectifying hisimmoral behaviour. However, a careful analysis of the description of the events in 1444allows to state that Długosz referred to the issues of the King’s violation of the peace treaty with Turkey rather superfi cially. In contrast, he strongly emphasized the motivefor the (alleged) failure to keep the oath given to God. The article will trace and explainthe associations between the narratives by Długosz on the ruler’s two perjuries. It will beequally important to indicate their signifi cance not only in the Varna narrative, but alsofor the historiosophical vision presented in the Annals. The analysis and comparison ofthe relevant excerpts from the work of the Cracow canon will be preceded by an insightinto the earliest stage in which the tradition about Władysław-the perjurer had startedto take shape in Europe.
Torhovytsia, the Volhynian Town in the 16th – the First Half of 17th Century
Authors: Zajac Andrij
Published: January 2025

The article traces the origins of the city status of Torgovytsia, and also finds out all its owners: Nemyrya Ryazanovych, Mykhailo Vasyliovych, princes Koretsky, Masalsky, as well as Leshchynsky, and Stanislaw Kazymir Bienievsky. Special attention is paid to the fact that Torhovytsa received a location privilege in 1562, which initiated a new stage in its development. The small population of Torhovytsia during the research period allows it to be classified as a small town (town), which included a castle and a suburb. The main buildings were wooden, the city fortifications were made of wood and earth. Among the religious buildings of Torhovytsia, only one church is recorded. City self-government was obviously ensured by Magdeburg law, as there are references to the activities of mayors. The importance of crafts, trades, fairs and, more broadly, the entrepreneurial activities of the townspeople in the economic life of Torhovytsa is revealed. It turned out that the city was often rented out. The difficult relations between the burghers and the nobility are analyzed. The socio-economic level of development of Torhovytsa in combination with religious buildings in the city made it a certain center for the surrounding district.

A wide scope of archival materials were analyzed, including court registers, inventories, private correspondence. The research covered the process of shaping the property and social position of the magnate, starting from the marriage with Dymitr Jerzy Wiśniowiecki (died 1682), and after his death with Józef Karol Lubomirski (died 1702). The activity of Teofila Ludwika was analyzed, taking into account various factors that shaped the condition of the inherited property. The mechanisms of the functioning of her private court, including way of recruiting the service, and supervising current affairs were indicated. The conducted research is an important contribution to the recognition of the issue of the formation and functioning of private women's courts in 17th and 18th centuries.
The Peasants Fleeing to „Podolia” in the 18th Century from the Perspective of Rural Documents
Authors: Wiślicz Tomasz
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the phenomenon of runaway peasants in the 18th century through the prism of documents preserved in village court books. Fleeing to Podolia, which became a migratory destination after it was reincorporated into the Crown in 1699, was particularly popular in eastern Lesser Poland and the western part of the Ruthenian Voivodeship at the time. However, the preserved rural documents talk less about actual fleeing to Podolia, and more about a flight as a kind of referential pattern, which designated success both in rupture from social ties and in securing a more satisfactory living for oneself. Therefore, the motif of „escape to Podolia” was primarily used in peasant discourse to formulate values. At the social level, this was above all the freedom of social and geographic mobility with preserving all rights within the framework of the village community and serfdom. At the individual level, the potential opportunity to start a new life outside the control of local social structures was posited as a main value. The negative image of Podolia as a land of criminals, lose women, and sorcerers, which functioned at the same time, served in turn to describe the dangers which the decision to leave the village could bring with it.
The Short History the Church Dedicated to the Finding of the Holy Cross in Zinkowce
Authors: Opyrchał Leszek , Nagnybida Ruslan
Published: January 2025

This article presents the history the church dedicated to the Finding of the Holy Cross in Zinkowce. Zinkowce is a small village located near Kamieniec Podolski. The church was probably built in the 16th century and then destroyed during the Turkish occupation of Podolia in 1672–1699. In 1716, Bishop Rupniewski rebuilt the church. However, it was not completely rebuilt. The reconstruction of the church lasted throughout the eighteenth century and at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Fragments of old maps show the stages of expansion of this church. During the Bolshevik rule in the 20th century, the temple was turned into a center for the eradication of illiteracy. The historic temple was handed over to the Roman Catholic parish in Zinkowce, belonging to the Kamieniec-Podolia diocese in 2017.
Obligation to Keep Professional Secrecy vs. the Need (Possibility) to Disclose the Circumstances Covered by It by the Advocate/Attorney-at-Law
Authors: Bereza Arkadiusz
Published: January 2025

Issues regarding the scope of professional secrecy and the obligation to keep it by the advocate or attorney-at-law are currently the subject of debate in the Polish legal community. This is due to both the fundamental importance of professional secrecy for the correct practice of the legal professions of advocate (Pol. adwokat) or attorney-at-law (Pol. radca prawny), as well as the inconsistency of the statutory provisions and the relationship of these provisions to the deontological regulations. The breach of the obligation of professional secrecy entails criminal and/or disciplinary liability. At this point, a problem arises concerning the disclosure of facts covered by professional secrecy by an advocate/attorney-at-law in the situation of a civil dispute with a former client or charges brought against the advocate/attorney-at-law in criminal or disciplinary proceedings for reasons related to the legal assistance previously provided. In such a situation, disclosure of information covered by professional secrecy – to the extent, of course, required by necessity – does not constitute a criminal offence (disciplinary offence) of an advocate/attorney-at-law due to the fact of acting under the state of necessity in order to save a higher-value good such as the right to court or the right of defence, respectively. Moving away from this complex construct and strengthening the standards of liability by striving for maximum definiteness of the prohibited act speak for making statutory amendments to indicate the specific behaviours of an advocate/attorney-at-law that do not constitute a breach of professional secrecy. Despite the ongoing work and accompanying analyses carried out in legal professional self-government organisations, none of them has so far decided to propose such a bold legislative change officially.

This study aimed to explore the relationships between social and emotional competence and teachers' self-efficacy in the Spanish educational context, as understanding these dynamics is essential for enhancing teachers’ ability oversee classrooms effectively, foster favorable student outcomes and advance overall wellbeing in educational environments. The quantitative approach and descriptive correlational study were used to conduct the investigation. The data was gathered from 212 primary school teachers who were selected using a non-probabilistic sampling method in Cordoba. Participants completed three questionnaires- emotional intelligence questionnaire, which assess emotional competence; interpersonal competence questionnaire, which evaluates social competence; and self-efficacy questionnaire, which measures teachers’ beliefs in their ability to successfully manage teaching tasks. Descriptive analysis was employed to summarize the characteristics of the variables, while correlation analysis explored the relationships between them. According to the results of these analyses social and emotional competence and dimensions of teachers’ self-efficacy were positively correlated with each other according to Pearson correlation. Additionally, t-tests were used to discover possible differences in these variables based on democratic characteristics like gender and teaching experience. Considering gender, it was determined that there were not any differences in most variables. Additionally, there was not a significant association between teachers' experience and any of the self-efficacy subscales.

Criterios para la Selección de Proveedores de Subproductos de Origen Animal en el Cumplimiento de Certificación Global GAP
Authors: Quiroga Ardila Dayanny Stefanny , Pachón Rincón Mateo
Published: January 2025

La selección de proveedores ha evolucionado de ser una decisión basada en costos y calidad a exigir una evaluación que integra múltiples variables alineadas con los objetivos económicos, ambientales y sociales de las empresas.  Las exigencias actuales del consumidor por productos sostenibles e inocuos hacen que la certificación de buenas prácticas agrícolas GlobalG.A.P., tome fuerza a nivel internacional en las empresas de producción de alimentos para animales. Los estándares extienden la aplicación a la cadena de abastecimiento, incluyendo la proveeduría, particularmente las materias primas que contienen productos marinos y de origen animal. En la actualidad, se cuenta con 81 empresas internacionales y 33 nacionales autorizadas para el suministro de estas materias primas. Debido al reducido número de proveedores, se hace importante establecer una estrategia para que, en el marco del cumplimiento de los estándares, no se reduzca la cantidad de proveedores elegibles. Para establecer los criterios que deben adicionarse a la selección de proveedores, se consultó la normatividad de certificación Global GAP de fabricación de alimentos compuestos para animales, versión 3.1, donde se identificaron 9 criterios de inocuidad, sostenibilidad de las especies y trazabilidad; además se proponen documentos y procesos que los avalarían. Se recomienda el desarrollo de los proveedores actuales antes de considerar su reemplazo, asegurando una transición ordenada, realizando un diagnóstico, retroalimentando e incentivando a los proveedores a cumplir con los criterios e incluso a aplicar a la certificación.

Published: January 2025

Este proyecto presenta un análisis comparativo de dos métodos de fabricación de abrazaderas: una sin troqueles progresivos y otra con troqueles progresivos. La simulación se llevó a cabo utilizando software especializado para evaluar la eficiencia, costos y tiempos de producción de ambos enfoques. Este estudio proporciona una base sólida para la toma de decisiones en la industria de fabricación de abrazaderas, destacando la importancia de la innovación tecnológica en la mejora de procesos productivos. El propósito de este proyecto es, mediante el análisis detallado de simulaciones, identificar en qué etapas del proceso ocurren demoras excesivas y qué ajustes son necesarios para mejorar el rendimiento general. La empresa Herrajes Andina S.A. es una destacada organización colombiana, reconocida por su liderazgo en el sector metalmecánico y su capacidad exportadora. Se propone una metodología que involucra la observación detallada de ambas técnicas, con y sin troquel. A través de un registro minucioso de los tiempos y recursos empleados en cada etapa, se modelarán estos procesos en el software de simulación Arena.
Manuel Azaña como símbolo de la Segunda República desde la caricatura política
Authors: Movellán Haro Jesús
Published: January 2025

La relevancia de Manuel Azaña (1880-1940) como una de las principales figuras públicas del siglo XX español es indudable. Su valor como símbolo de la Segunda República recoge una gran amplitud de miradas, desde su reivindicación y homenaje hasta la sátira y el insulto. Con respecto a esto último, en este artículo se ofrece una aproximación a la construcción icono-simbólica de Azaña desde las caricaturas del semanario antirrepublicano y ultraderechista Gracia y Justicia, con el fin de demostrar cómo la conceptualización de Azaña como lieu de mémoire desde las derechas antirrepublicanas ya se había consolidado antes de la Guerra Civil y de la ulterior dictadura franquista.
