Paikallisessa Risteyksessä
Authors: Saastamoinen Uula , Ollila Katri
Published: April 2023

Paikallisuuden aiheesta käytävä ajankohtainen keskustelu on paikallaan, sillä viime vuosien kriisit ovat jättäneet jäljen ihmisten paikkasuhteeseen. Koronapandemian myötä elämästä tuli liiankin paikallista, kun monien elinpiiri kutistui kodin, lähimetsän ja kaupan ympärille. Vaikka olemme paikkaan sidottuja, pandemian aiheuttama etätyön yleistyminen on osoittanut, ettei työnteko vaadi tietyssä paikassa olemista. Uudessa normaalissa opettelemme edelleen uusia hybridiolemisen muotoja teknologiaa hyödyntäen. Nykyään voimmekin olla paikalla ilman, että olemme läsnä.
Alue- ja ympäristötutkimuksen seuran sekä Versus-verkkojulkaisun yhteistyössä toteuttama Risteyksessä-julkaisusarja on jälleen löytänyt paikalleen. Vuoden teemaa – paikallisuutta – käsittelevät seitsemän aiemmin Alue ja Ympäristö -lehteen kirjoittanutta tutkijaa. He pohtivat, millaista muutosta paikallisuuteen liittyvissä tutkimusaiheissa on havaittavissa ja miten muutos nivoutuu yhteiskunnan laajempiin kehityskulkuihin. Näin Risteyksessä-konseptin tavoitteena on jälleen lisätä tutkitun tiedon näkyvyyttä ajankohtaisessa keskustelussa. Lisäksi vahvistetaan kansalaisyhteiskunnan ja järjestäytyneiden toimijoiden välistä dialogia, kun Risteyksessä-artikkelit asetetaan Versuksen Tiededebattien pohjaksi.

Artikkeli tarkastelee ja pohtii näiden käytäntöjen kehittämistä geneettisen kritiikin näkökulmasta.
«Mixti cum Francis et Latinis»: Ulteriori tasselli nella definizione dei rapporti tra Armeni e Latini agli inizi del XIV secolo
Authors: Bonifacio Carlo Alessandro
Published: April 2023

During the 14th century, in the aftermath of the end of the Mongol-Armenian alliance, the ties between Armenians and Latins tighten and strengthen. On one hand Cilician Armenians placed their last hope of defence in Latin aid, while on the other the Latin West, after the fall of Acre (1291) and the loss of the Crusader States of Outremer, saw the last Christian strongholds in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and in the Kingdom of Cyprus. In this context, the Armenian Vision of St. Nersēs, a widespread political apocalypse, was translated into Latin. This essay provides an analysis of the prefatory letter attached to the Latin Vision of St. Nersēs in the manuscript Linz, Oberösterreichische Landesbibliothek, MS 447, based on textual and codicological data. By considering the letter in a broader historical framework, it is possible to shed further light on Armeno-Latin relations in the early 14th century.

Published: April 2023

The paper deals with the naming of the Black Sea in Arabic-Islamic and Christian sources. Based on a purview of major designations of the Black Sea in the Arabic-Islamic and Christian geographical traditions, the author questions the geo-chromatic explanation of the name of the Black Sea. Instead, the author outlines a multi-layered naming structure in the system of the designations of the Black Sea. Historical names of the Black Sea in both Arabic-Islamic and Christian geographical traditions demonstrate independent trends in the naming of this sea which went through a convoluted process of semantic transformations as reflected in the extant records

Authors:   Cairo University, Osman Taher
Published: April 2023

The decline of societies in old industrial cities is evident in numerous cases in developed countries. Cities that once functioned as dominant industrial centers have faced severe population loss and subsequent social and environmental challenges during the process of economic restructuring. This study aims to identify the common patterns of industrial transition and demographic changes at the city level to determine the factors of growth and decline of industrial cities from a global comparative perspective. Statistical data on industry and population from 1950 to 2010 in the US, Japan, and Koreaare collected at the city level. Cities are classified according to industrial characteristics (dominance, type, and composition of industries) and demographic change patterns (continued increase, peak, recent decline, continued decline, slowdown, recovery, and steady); a comparative analysis is conducted in each classified group. The results of the study suggest relevant issues between Japan and Korea industrial cities to prepare strategies for imminent industrial transition and management of urban areas with the cooperation of local stakeholders. This should enable past and present industrial cities to achieve sustainable development for future transformation.

The front office (FO) department manages reservation, registration, room and rate assignment, guest services, room status, concierge and bell service. The department services are crucial in developing a tourist accommodation into a low-carbon accommodation such as hotel, resort and others. The purpose of this study is to discuss the content validity of instruments for low-carbon tourist accommodation indicators in the FO department of hotels. Based on the theoretical framework, there are 53 indicators frequently used in constructing low-carbon FO instruments. The study employed the Item Content Validity Indexes (I-CVI) analysis method and mean analysis to assess content validity. The method comprised item clarity, language appropriateness, and score scale using a five-point Likert scale to analyze expert evaluations of items using a questionnaire form. The instrument was assessed by a panel of six professionals in tourism, hospitality, and industry involved in low-carbon research. An instrument is accepted and has a good level of content validity when it exceeds the take-off value of ≥ 0.80. One item was excluded from the instrument as it did not reach the take-off value. The average mean results of each expert review on the items ranged from 3.41 to 5.00, suggesting that no questions required repetition. Overall, 17 items were refined by fitting the items to the FO department work scope. The findings revealed that the instrument was acceptable and relevant. It provides an original and useful indicator to measure the low-carbon approach in the FO department of hotels as to achieve the agenda of low carbon tourism.

Published: April 2023

Background: The prevalence of ACS in Indonesia is high, at least 2 million people in Indonesia are diagnosed with ACS. It is one of the main causes of death among adults in many countries around the world, including Indonesia with prevalence of heart disease in Indonesia is estimated at 2 million ACS cases. One of the causes of the high ACS mortality rate is a prehospital delay. Decision time delay refers to the length of time the patient takes for early detection or to make a decision to seek help. This study will focus on the influence of social demographic factors on the ability of early detection of ACS.
Purpose: This study aims to explain the relationship between treatment-seeking behavior, transportation, and socio-demographic factors (age, gender, socio-economic, educational status, health insurance).
Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in this study. The samples will be obtained in Blitar regency with 22 public health center sub-districts with sample 126 respondents. The correlation among variables was analyzed using chi-squared (?2), and for determining the dominant factors, multiple logistic regression with the enter method was used. A p value <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The study found that the age, health insurance status, education level, and employment status of the patients were significant factors for early detection. Delay to early detection increased with the increase in age of the patients, although it was not significant by logistic regression.
Conclusions:  This study reveals that several sociodemographic factors that can affect early detection abilities are education, employment status, and health insurance.

Differential expression of NOVA1 in cancer of the cervix.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: April 2023

Almost all cervical cancers are caused by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) (1-3); the transcriptional features that distinguish the gene expression programs of HPV-induced cancers from that of cancers resulting from non-viral abrogation of tumor suppression remain incompletely defined. We mined published microarray datasets (4, 5) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with the most common type of cervical cancer, cervical squamous cell carcinoma. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding NOVA alternative splicing regulator 1, NOVA1, when comparing tumor tissue from the human cervix to the tissue of origin. NOVA1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the cervix as compared to normal tissues from the cervix. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of NOVA1 in tumors of the cervix was correlated with overall survival in patients with cervical cancer. NOVA1 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of cancer of the cervix in humans.

Lifetime Trauma and Mortality Risk: A Systematic Review
Authors: Buckley Laura , Turiano Nicholas A , Miller Amanda A , Butler Marta , O'Súilleabháin Páraic S
Published: April 2023

Objective Various literature are suggestive of a relation between lifetime trauma and mortality risk in adulthood, however, findings seem unclear and inconsistent. In our preregistered review, we conducted a systematic review to examine the association between lifetime trauma and mortality risk in adulthood. Method: Six databases (Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL (EBSCO), PsychInfo (EBSCO), Embase and Medline (Pubmed); were searched up to April 2023 for studies reporting adult mortality outcomes associated with traumatic events accumulated across the lifespan. Five studies were found, and a narrative review of the literature was conducted. Results: Five studies met the inclusion criteria, including 5,506 individuals. Three studies found a positive relation between lifetime trauma and mortality risk, indicating that the more traumatic events a person has across their lifespan the greater their mortality risk. Two studies with male-only samples reported no relation between lifetime trauma and mortality risk. Conclusion: While studies that employ larger sample sizes suggest that lifetime trauma is associated with mortality risk during adulthood, research is sparse and inconclusive. A plethora of additional research is needed to address several limitations within the current literature, which includes utilising standardised measures of lifetime trauma, replication of effects, and the examination of vulnerable and underrepresented populations.
Distinguishing between periodicity and consistency over trials: Reply to Re, Tosato, Fries, and Landau
Authors: Brookshire Geoffrey
Published: April 2023

Oscillations in the brain may lead to oscillations in behavior. How can we test for oscillations in behavior, while ensuring that we do not mistake aperiodic temporal structure for rhythms? In their response article, Re and colleagues attempt to restore the shuffling-in-time method as a viable statistical test of rhythmic structure in brief behavioral time-series. They begin by reiterating the central message of my study: "rejecting the null hypothesis of no temporal structure does not unequivocally demonstrate the presence of periodic structure". Because shuffling-in-time tests the null hypothesis of no temporal structure, and prior studies relied on shuffling-in-time, this statement is an agreement that prior studies did not provide evidence for rhythms in behavior. Instead of updating their interpretation of those studies, however, Re and colleagues maintain that prior studies using shuffling-in-time do in fact provide evidence for rhythms in behavior. In doing so, they lose sight of the distinction between periodic and aperiodic temporal structure. Here I clarify several points of confusion in their article. Shuffling-in-time cannot identify oscillations in a time-series because it cannot distinguish between oscillations and aperiodic temporal structure.
Conflict paradigms cannot reveal competence
Authors: Feiman Roman
Published: April 2023

De Neys is right to criticize the “exclusivity assumption” in dual process theories, but he misses the original sin underlying this assumption, which his working model continues to share. Conflict paradigms, in which experimenters measure how one cognitive process interferes (or does not interfere) with another, license few (if any) inferences about how the interfered-with process works on its own.
The Gender (Tax) Gap in Parental Transfers. Evidence from Administrative Inheritance and Gift Tax Data
Authors: Tisch Daria , Schechtl Manuel
Published: April 2023

This study examines how inheritance and gift tax systems in combination with gendered parental transfer behavior strengthen gender wealth inequalities. Gender differences in transfers can be reproduced if men benefit differently than women from tax exemptions. This might happen when men and women receive different types of assets where only some are tax-exempted. To investigate gendered parental transfer behavior and gender differences in tax rates, we draw on German administrative inheritance and gift tax data. Women were less likely than men to receive tax-relevant parental transfers, the value of the transfers were lower, and women and men differed in the asset types they received. Moreover, we identify a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts. Our analyses suggest that men benefit more from tax exemptions on business assets. This study adds the tax system as yet another factor implicated in the reproduction of gender wealth inequalities. (Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality Working Paper)

Introduction: Rupture of the corpus luteum, though generally self-limiting in women with normal coagulation, could lead to life-threatening bleeding in patients with prosthetic valves on anticoagulant therapy and described in only a few case reports in the literature. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of ruptured corpus luteum among women undergoing laparotomy for hemoperitoneum in a tertiary care centre.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among women undergoing laparotomy for hemoperitoneum in a tertiary centre from 7 April 2017 to 31 March 2021 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee [Reference number: 328(6-11-E)2/73/74]. All women who underwent laparotomy for hemoperitoneum during the study period were enrolled. Convenience sampling technique was used. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Results: Out of 447 women who underwent laparotomy for hemoperitoneum, ruptured corpus luteum was seen in 48 (10.74%) (7.87-13.61, 95% Confidence Interval). Out of which 36 (75%) had prosthetic valves. There was 1 (2.77%) mortality and 3 (8.33%) recurrences.
Conclusions: The prevalence of rupture of the corpus luteum among women undergoing laparotomy for hemoperitoneum was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Early diagnosis, emergent reversal of coagulopathy and surgery if needed are the mainstay of management.

"Hu Line" and the problem of imbalance in China's territorial development
Authors: Mazhinskiy Stanislav
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to such a phenomenon as the imbalance of the territorial development of China, which is based on the concept of the Chinese geographer Hu Huanyong. This concept was called the "Hu Line", which divided the country into western and eastern parts. On its basis, the development of China is shown within the framework of the Reform and Opening Policy, Development of Western China and other state plans. Based on the analysis of the territorial development of the PRC from 1979 to 2019, it is shown that the attempts of the PRC government to move the "Hu Line" westward for more than forty years have not led to success. The development of the eastern regions of China only led to an increase in the disproportionate development of the PRC and exacerbated the social problems of eastern China, which were caused by large internal labor migration. The article also examines the current concepts of China's development, the purpose of which is to break the "Hu Huanyong Line". Analyzed the main approaches of Chinese scientists, which are reduced to the formation of development belts. The development belt, according to Chinese researchers, should be formed either from biterritorial concepts of development, or from concepts that lead to the fragmentation of the "Hu Huanyong Line" into several regions, lined up in a belt. The article proposes the concept of "Four China", which was formed on the basis of demographic, economic and climatic factors. Comparing and superimposing these factors on the map of China has led to the emergence of four regions, showing the economic and social state of modern China. Within the framework of this concept, it was possible to demonstrate the specifics of the four regions within the framework of the modern territorial development of China. Each region has its own distinctive potential: Region I has economic potential, Region II - political and economic, Region III - resource and tourism, Region IV - traditional and tourism. Moreover, the concept shows that a shift in the "Hu Huanyong Line" within the framework of territorial features is practically impossible.
Afghan Assessements of the Southern Turkmans Territories's State Affiliation during Russian-Afghan Demarcation 1884-1888
Authors: Ishchenko Nikita S.
Published: April 2023

In the 1880s the northwestern part of the Russian-Afghan border was completely determined in defining which the parties faced significant contradictions. In St. Petersburg, an "ethnographic" principle of delimitation was developed. According to it in order to ensure the security of this frontier, it was important to unite the Turkmens under their rule, which meant the inclusion of the territory close to Herat into Russia. The strategic importance of this Afghan city in the context of the eventual campaign of Russian troops in India forced the British to counteract such a development of events in every possible way. As a result, they developed a "political" principle of demarcation, according to which London insisted that the Turkmen lands belong to Kabul. These disagreements are usually considered exclusively within the framework of the confrontation between Russia and Great Britain in this region (the Great Game). With such an approach, the role of the Afghans in this process has so far been ignored by researchers. The Dari-language source “Siraj at-Tawarikh” cites many documents showing that on the very start of the work on establishing the western part of the Russian-Afghan border in Kabul they considered the southern Turkmen lands an integral part of Afghanistan. Thus it can be concluded that the Afghans claimed rights to the disputed lands not under duress by the British but, on the contrary, the Afghan assessments of the state ownership of these territories formed the basis of the British negotiating position which allowed London to fight for moving the border as far north as possible from Herat.
Socio-economic Origins of the Apartheid Regime in South Africa
Authors: Leonid Sidorenko
Published: April 2023

The aim of this article is to analyze the economic dimension of the apartheid regime in South Africa by studying the role of socio-economic processes in its formation and development. The author describes the situation on the labor market and in the economy of the country at the beginning of the XX century and covers the first steps of the white government to establish segregation of Africans in the economy before the official establishment of apartheid. Particular attention is paid to the problem of deep socio-economic contradictions within the white community (between Afrikaners and descendants of English colonists), which seriously motivated Boers with low education and qualifications to fight for political domination in the state to comply with their own economic interests. The author also highlights the role of the local population in the economic development of the country and labor migration processes in the context of the ongoing industrial transformation of the South African economy. On the example of the situation in education the beginning of the processes of forced emancipation of Africans is demonstrated, which, however, was a limited one. In conclusion, it was the economic (and not ideological or political) dimension of apartheid that was key in its development and largely determined the essence of the regime, designed to preserve the existing system of maintaining the economic potential of Afrikaners in confrontation with the non-white population (by restricting their rights and using them as cheap labor) and competing English-speaking residents of the country (by creating conditions for the redistribution of capital in favor of Afrikaners). At the same time, the priority of the economic motives of apartheid predetermined its well-known flexibility, manifested in the permissibility of moving away from following strict ideological constructs for the sake of economic expediency, which resulted in a certain gradual emancipation in the field of education of Africans and the inability to achieve complete segregation of racial groups. The more intensively the economy developed, the more significant the role of the black population in supporting its growth became, and the weaker the ideological dogma of the apartheid regime was.
‘South Asia’: Construction and Deconstruction of Spaces and Institutions. Part I
Authors: Glushkova Irina P.
Published: April 2023

‘South Asia’ in its present meaning was coined in the late 1940s following a reinterpretation of previous approaches to the study of the (ancient) Orient, which proved to be ill-suited under the conditions of the Second World War. The author of the concept was the American Indologist W. Norman Brown (1892–1975) who thus designated almost the entire territory of British India and founded the Department of South Asia Regional Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. This innovation led to the institutionalization of the modern socio-political disciplines essential for the familiarization with the area of the languages studied. Later this model spread to the educational institutions of the New World and reached the Old one. In the mid-1970s, the Chair of  History of India, Pakistan, Nepal and Ceylon of the Institute of Countries of Asia and Africa of Moscow State University was renamed the Chair of History of South Asia, and 40 years later several units under the heading of ‘South Asia’ sprang up in several Russian academia. Part I sheds light on Brown’s activities in the US Office of Strategic Services and his contacts with the Institute of Pacific Relations, as well as the US reaction to the launch of the first Soviet satellite, the passage of the US National Defense Education Act, and the ‘cold war’ contest between the US and the USSR in the field of training specialists to be engaged as an instrument of influence on the post-colonial world structure within the South Asian countries.
