The Circular Economy, Bioeconomy, and Green Investments: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Authors: Berto Pietro Jacomini , Ferraz Diogo , Rebelatto Daisy Aparecida do Nascimento
Published: March 2022

Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the theoretical concept of the Bioeconomy and the Circular Economy in association with studies about green finance.Theoretical framework – Several studies pointed out that sustainable investments must replace production processes. This literature provides a favorable environment for new studies on the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy. However, the literature lacks definitions and differentiation between both concepts.Design/methodology/approach – A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was adequate to systematize the information from 345 articles, 231 relating to the Circular Economy, and 114 articles relating to the Bioeconomy. In addition, the contents of the 24 articles with the highest number of citations was reviewed.Findings – Our analysis revealed that the concepts of the Circular Economy and Bioeconomy could be similar or different. The concepts are similar due to the concern with sustainable economic development. However, the Circular Economy uses concepts that are related to the differentiation of the paradigm from a linear productive system to that of a loop. The Bioeconomy is more concerned with the use of biological resources and biotechnology. A geographic distribution of the studies can also identify the differences as well as the number of publications, citations, and methods used. However, both approaches equally show a scarcity of databases.Originality/value – Our study reveals that the Bioeconomy concept is hardly used in countries with high biodiversity, for example, countries that make up the Amazon region. On the other hand, there was a greater synergy between the Circular Economy approach and production processes in different economic sectors in developing countries.Keywords: Circular Economy; Bioeconomy; Green Finance; Systematic Literature Review (SLR).
Earthquake-induced permanent displacements of embedded cantilever retaining walls
Authors: Conte Enrico , Pugliese Luigi , Troncone Antonello
Published: March 2022

Stability analysis of retaining walls in seismic areas is generally performed by calculating a safety factor against a possible mechanism of collapse. However, considering that limit conditions usually occur in some time intervals during an earthquake, a more rational approach consists in assessing the performance of the structure in terms of accumulated permanent displacements. In this context, a novel method is proposed in the present study for predicting the earthquake-induced permanent displacements of embedded cantilever retaining walls, such as diaphragm or sheet-pile walls. This method requires solving a simple motion equation of the structure subjected to the soil–structure contact stresses evaluated using a closed-form solution. Specifically, it is assumed that the wall undergoes a rigid rotation around a point located in its embedded portion. Comparisons are presented with both experimental and numerical results documented in published studies. In all cases considered, a satisfactory agreement is found between these results and those provided by the proposed method. In addition, the method accounts for some features of the seismic behaviour of embedded cantilever retaining structures observed during centrifuge tests. Summarising, the method is reliable, simple to use and requires few conventional parameters as input data. Therefore, it is suitable for routine applications.
Modernistički pokret mladih u hrvatskoj kulturi i politici na prijelomu 19. i 20. stoljeća
Authors:   , Tomašegović Nikola
Published: March 2022

The modernist movement of the youth in Croatian culture and politics at the turn of the 20th century. The topic of this PhD dissertation is the Croatian modernist Movement of the Youth as a local iteration of the global and transnational phenomenon of fin de siècle modernism. Although chronologically located at around 1900, this movement is often cited as playing a pivotal role for the development of Croatian culture and politics in the whole first half of the 20th century. Because of this, the research is focused on the intellectual formation of a generation that is going to have a profound influence on Croatian cultural and political development, including the transition to the Yugoslav state. The research is conceptually framed on two axes. The first is diachronic in nature and deals with the question of continuities and discontinuities with established political and cultural notions and practices dominant in Croatian public, cultural and political life at the time. The second is synchronic and investigates the ways in which historical actors – adherents and activists of the Croatian modernist movement – transferred and appropriated ideas and practices stemming from other European modernist movements of the time, especially in Vienna and Prague.
Didactics: Peculiarities of Programmed Teaching of the Cartwheel to Girls Aged 14
Authors: Kharkovshchenko Mykhailo
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the study was to determine the peculiarities of programmed teaching of the cartwheel to girls aged 14.

Material and methods. The study participants were 20 girls aged 14. The children and their parents were fully informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: study and analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation, timing of training tasks; pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics, factor analysis, nearest neighbor analysis.

Results. The analysis of the effectiveness of the program of teaching girls aged 14 the cartwheel, using different repetition modes (1 – mode of 6 sets 1 time each with a rest interval of 60 s; 2 – mode of 6 sets 2 times each with a rest interval of 60 s) showed that the girls of the first group need fewer repetitions to master the cartwheel than the girls of the second group (p < 0.05). Thus, repetition modes have statistically significantly different effects on the cartwheel motor skill development in girls aged 14. The analysis of similarities revealed that the program components are interrelated.

Conclusions. Factor analysis showed that teaching programs organized by the method of algorithmic instructions are combined in nature. The analysis of similarities revealed that the program components are interrelated. Series of training tasks 2, 3, and 5 are most correlated with one another and provide conditions for teaching girls aged 14 the cartwheel. Optimization of the number of repetitions of the exercise depends on the speed of mastering the exercises of the third and fourth series of training tasks.
“I Don’t want to Commit Academic Dishonesty”: the Role of Grit and Growth Mindset in Reducing Academic Dishonesty
Authors: Herdian Herdian , Rahayu Euis
Published: March 2022

Online learning is a substitute for learning in the classroom during a global pandemic. The problem that arises is that academic dishonesty behavior increases when online learning takes place. We assess how academic dishonesty occurs during online learning.  Purpose. We examine how academic dishonesty occurs during online learning. We review unethical behavior based on growth mindset and Grit as mediator variables. Materials and methods. The questionnaire was filled out by 266 students (196 female; 70 male) from universities in Indonesia. Data collection uses three scales, namely the academic dishonesty scale (α = 0.862), the growth mindset scale (α = 0.826), and the grit scale (α = 0.760). The path analysis using the multiple linear regression techniques was utilized to analyze the data in this study. Results. This study demonstrates a negative correlation between growth mindset and academic dishonesty, indicating that the more growth mindset, the less academic dishonesty. Additionally, there is a considerable negative correlation between Grit and academic dishonesty, such that the greater a person’s Grit, the less academic dishonesty there is. Additionally, a positive correlation exists between the growth mindset and Grit. The greater one’s growth attitude, the greater one’s Grit. The primary finding is that Grit mediates the growth mindset’s attitude toward academic dishonesty, implying that the growth mindset affects academic dishonesty by Grit. Conclusions. The conclusion is that the growth mindset acts as a buffer against academic dishonesty. However, Grit’s position is ideal for mediating the association between growth mindset and academic dishonesty. Thus, a growth mindset can boost students’ Grit, which can help prevent academic dishonesty. We reviewed recommendations for decreasing unethical behavior in online education and its consequences for higher education.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of blood 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels with fibrocystic breast masses and breast patterns.

Materials and Methods: The study included 612 patients who presented with breast complaints or referred for routine screening between 2018-2021 and were requested to have breast ultrasonography (USG) and mammography (MG) examinations. Patients were divided into two groups; group 1 consisted of women with fibrocystic mass (BI-RADS 2-3) and group 2 consisted of women without breast mass (BI-RADS 1). These two groups were compared by age, breast USG, MG results, and blood 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels.

Results: Of the 612 patients, 310 (51%) had fibrocystic mass in their breasts, while 302 (49%) had normal breasts. The mean age of both groups was similar. Those with fibrocystic mass in the breast had lower vitamin D levels and higher breast density than the control group. The group with higher breast density had lower vitamin D levels, and there was a negative correlation between vitamin D level and breast density

Conclusion: Our study revealed that women with fibrocystic masses in their breasts (BI- RADS2 and BI-RADS3) had higher breast density and lower vitamin D levels than women without breast mass.

Aging and gender-related effects of tauroursodeoxycholic acid treatment on liver functions, plasma lipid profile, and oxidative stress
Authors: HAN Sevtap
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Aging is related to multiple and systemic dysfunctions in the body, accompanied by metabolic disorders and oxidative stress. Although studies are revealing the role of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in aging-related pathologies, this relationship has not been fully elucidated. In this study, it was aimed to reveal changes in liver function, plasma lipids, and oxidative stress markers due to aging and gender, and to investigate how these parameters change with ER stress inhibitor tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) treatment.

Materials and Methods: Young (4 months old) and old (24 months old) Wistar albino male and female rats were used in the experiments. The administration of ER stress inhibitor TUDCA was performed for 4 weeks (150 mg/kg/day, ip). Liver function markers (AST and ALT), plasma lipids (LDL, HDL, TG and total cholesterol), and oxidative stress biomarkers (malondialdehyde, (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO)) levels were measured in plasma samples.

Results: ER stress inhibition with TUDCA decreased AST levels, increased HDL value, decreased TG value, and decreased MDA and MPO levels in the elderly. The effects on some parameters varied depending on gender.

Conclusion: Considering the role of oxidative stress and metabolic disorders in the pathogenesis of many age-related diseases, it is thought that these results will contribute to the development of treatment approaches targeting ER stress inhibition in aging.

Authors: KÜÇÜKALP Abdullah , ÖZDEMİR Bülent , TEMİRCİ Erol
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The impact on bone union of injecting bone marrow from the anterior iliac crest was examined in patients with non-unions.

Materials and Methods: The present study was prepared following a retrospective study on non-union patients who applied to our clinics who accepted bone marrow injection and were followed up and monitored after the procedure. A total of 14 bones from 13 patients with long bone diaphysis and metaphysis non-union were included in the study from among patients who applied during the dates of November 2016 – December 2019. Bone marrow aspiration from the anterior iliac crest was conducted on the patients under anesthesia which was injected to the fracture line under local anesthesia and fluoroscopy. All patients were monitored on a monthly basis with front-rear and side radiography. The injection operation was conducted three times on seven patients and 2 times on a total of seven non-unions in 6 patients.

Results: A total of 11 unions took place in 14 patients. A union could not be attained in three fractures. The gap was over 2 mm in fractures without union. Fracture union ratio was obtained as 79 %. The mean injection number applied on the patients was 2.5. A statistically significant correlation could not be identified between the fixation method and non-union type and union.

Conclusion: Bone marrow injection is a cheap, effective, easy to use and safe surgical method for the treatment of long bone fractures with non-union.

Published: March 2022

Recently, religious tourism has attracted the attention of various parties because of the high interest of Muslim tourists. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is one of the provinces that carry religious or halal tourism. It was proven by attaining the halal tourism destination award by the West Nusa Tenggara Islamic Center in 2015. However, the West Nusa Tenggara Islamic Center still lacks development and literacy, especially tourism. Therefore, the motivation of this research is to find alternative strategies that might be used for the development process and increase literacy. By interviewing four respondents, the authors uncovered alternative strategies using SWOT analysis. The five strategies might be beneficial: collaborating with stakeholders, creating new attractions, marketing destinations, improving service quality, and strengthening the destination concept.

This qualitative study looked into the initiative and practices of employee ecological behavior (EEB) among academicians. This study examined the design and deployment of green practices that unraveled entrenched, peripheral, and intermediate ecological practices. The field of inquiry involved public universities established in Malaysia. In total, 23 academicians from selected public universities across Malaysia were interviewed. Data pertaining to EEB were gathered via in-depth interviews and focus group discussion sessions. Study participants pointed out several initiatives and practices reflecting their campuses' ecological practices. Green initiatives emerged as a powerful tool that generated EEB among the participants. Exemplars and suggestions for good ecological practices were delineated, such as banking plastics at the cafeterias, adopting green cafeterias, a Car-Free Day, sustainability campaigns, and recycling. The observed practices and initiatives substantially contributed to the green campus, and the outcomes add knowledge regarding how EEB can be encouraged in HEIs.

Published: March 2022

A fruitful approach to the sustainability of cities is described through criteria and indicators that measure the effectiveness of urban operations. To create a sustainable urban environment, an effective strategic approach must be developed that achieves sustainability criteria and indicators. It is difficult to evaluate sustainability strategies due to a sheer number of indicators or the heterogeneity of evaluating options and their relevance. In this context, the research is concerned with reviewing the previous literature for sustainable standards and indicators by specialized international organizations. For achieving a proposed structure of indicators that is easy to implement and includes the essential aspects of sustainability to serve as a priority setting support to propose a sustainable strategic approach. The analytical approach was used in the current situation of Abu Teeg City in Assiut using SWOT technology to examine the internal and external factors through questionnaires and discussions with experts, then applying the AHP method to prioritize the factors to make them measurable. Hence, an effective approach to city sustainability can be discussed using TOWS matrix.

Nosso objetivo é apresentar o relato da experiência de formação de uma residência multiprofissional com ênfase em Saúde Mental Coletiva. Abordamos neste relato as atividades vivenciadas, refletindo sobre avanços e desafios encontrados. Concluímos que, apesar das dificuldades apresentadas, a residência se mostrou agenciadora de mudanças positivas no cotidiano dos serviços e colaborou na formação de profissionais implicados com o cuidado em liberdade.
Rule of Law in Islam
Authors: Sorayaii Azar Hossein
Published: March 2022

Public law notions seen from shari’a law perspective have not been duly discussed in Islamic countries. In the discourse of rule of law in Islam we are confronted with a dilemma, moral values of a religion are not compatible with the coercive legislative measures. Thus the authentic application of shari’a rules is feasible only if a scientific hermeneutic of shari’a law is adapted to the exigencies of today’s modern life, while the outlook on the boundaries of hermeneutic remains obscure. The first section of this article, introductory discourse, scrutinizes the fallacy of different theories on the notion of justice leading to the concept of “rule of law” in general. The second section focuses on the rule of law in Islam. Concluding ideas are presented in the final section, conclusion.

Incontinentia Pigmenti: X-Linked Skin Disorder: A Case Report
Authors: Gelardi Laurie
Published: March 2022

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked neuroectodermal dysplasia affecting the skin, hair, teeth, nails, microvasculature, and central nervous system. Mutations in the IKBKG gene cause this disorder. Incontinentia pigmenti is found in 65–75 percent sporadic mutations and 25–35 percent familial cases. Most patients are female, as the disease is generally lethal in males. The condition often is identified secondary to skin presentations followed by the central nervous system (CNS) manifestations in the eye and brain within the first year of life. In addition to the skin changes, there may be defects in the hair, nails, and teeth. The uniqueness of the disorder and shared findings similar to other skin disorders complicate the diagnosis. Clinical findings point to an array of possibilities. Lack of information on family history complicates the time to diagnosis. With the confirmation of IP, a thorough evaluation with appropriate consultations improves outcomes where possible.
