Costly Information Intermediation: Quality vs. Spillovers
Authors: Monte Daniel , Pinheiro Roberto B.
Published: December 2024

We analyze information intermediaries in large economies with costly information acquisition. Intermediaries face a trade-off between quality and dissemination speed. Both altruistic policymakers and profit-maximizing monopolists optimally choose to sample limited information, increasing the number of partially informed agents and enhancing spillovers despite slower information accumulation. Altruistic information-sharing bureaus minimize fees by inducing low provider default rates, while monopolist bureaus maximize fees through higher faulty service rates. Information trade resembles a natural monopoly, where competition reduces efficiency through redundant costs and lower information spillovers. These findings inform regulatory design in platforms and information-intensive markets.

Authors: Амінов Р. Ф.
Published: December 2024

Ектопаразитарні медичні п’явки широко використовують у сільському господарстві, ветеринарії та медицині, за рахунок наявності в організмі більше 150 біологічно активних речовин, які володіють широким спектром терапевтичної дії. Погіршення стану навколишнього середовища спричинило зникнення медичної п’явки у природі, тому їх популяція здебільшого підтримується в біолабораторіях. Утримання та розведення медичних п’явок у штучних умовах потребує створення суворих оптимальних умов: вологості, температури та рН, насиченості кисню, світла тощо, тому стало актуально дослідити вплив різних температурних режимів на репродуктивну здатність видів Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820 та Hirudo orientalis Utevsky & Trontelj, 2005. В експерименті було задіяно медичних пявок: 150 шт. виду Hirudo verbana Carena, 1820 та 60 шт. Hirudo orientalis Utevsky & Trontelj, 2005. Усі маніпуляції з тваринами проводилися з дотриманням регламентованих норм і правил поводження з лабораторними тваринами. Медичних п’явок висаджували для спаровування у ємність з водою при температурі навколишнього середовища: контрольна група + 24-26°С, перша дослідна група + 28-31°С, друга дослідна + 18-20°С. Після появи поясів плодючості у медичних п’явок висаджували їх у торф’яно-ґрунтове середовище на місяць. При кімнатній температурі: контрольна група +24–26ºС, перша дослідна група + 28-31°С, друга дослідна + 18-20°С. Через місяць виймали для аналізу п’явок та їхній молодняк із коконів. У результаті дослідження в контрольних групах найбільш оптимальні температури при яких п’явки дають найбільшу кількість потомства з коконів Hirudo verbana 8,2±0,6 шт. та Hirudo orientalis 6,1±0,5 шт., менша смертність статевозрілих особин Hirudo verbana 1,1±0,2% та Hirudo orientalis 2,3±0,3%, менше отримання дефектних коконів Hirudo verbana 7,3±0,3% та Hirudo orientalis 8,4±0,9%. При аналізі першої дослідної групи спостерігаємо значний відсоток п’явок з появою поясів плодючості Hirudo verbana 93,4±4,1% та Hirudo orientalis 50,5±4,6%, але високою смертністю при помішенні у торфяно-грунтове середовище Hirudo verbana 45,1±3,2% та Hirudo orientalis 61,2±2,3%, низькою репродуктивною здатністю. У другій дослідній групі практично не відбувається поява поясів плодючості Hirudo verbana 0,9±0,06% та Hirudo orientalis 0,3±0,03%, більша частина коконів з дефектами Hirudo verbana 30,4±2,7% та Hirudo orientalis 51,4±3,5%. Узагальнюючи отримані результати при високих температурах можна отримати хибну появу поясів плодючості, що негативно може позначитися на продуктивності та життєздатності тварин. Низькі температури знижують репродуктивну здатність п’явок.
A Corpus of Modern Spoken Māori
Authors:   , Boyce Mary
Published: December 2024

The Māori Broadcast Corpus (MBC) is a representative corpus of contemporary spoken Māori. The corpus was designed and compiled, then used to identify and describe various aspects of the lexicon of modern spoken Māori. The corpus contains approximately one million words of running text across several text categories, selected and transcribed from Māori-medium broadcasts in 1995 and 1996. The broadcast sources were Te Reo Irirangi o te Upoko-o-te-ika, Radio New Zealand, and Television New Zealand. The corpus files with accompanying explanatory and descriptive information and word lists are available on the compact disk, which accompanies this document.

Initial analysis of the corpus identified 10,289 different word types in the 1,005,364 tokens, or running words of text. The particular focus of the analysis was on high frequency vocabulary, and on patterns of distribution. A small number of high frequency words provide most coverage of texts: 165 word types make up approximately 80% of all the words in the texts in the corpus; 200 word types give 82.4% coverage, 2000 give 97.62% coverage. This has implications for learners of Māori. Knowing the most frequent word types, their meanings and their uses, is crucial to the comprehension of Māori broadcast texts but also of other texts.

The analysis extended beyond the identification of word types, and explored word sense and word sense distribution in selected high frequency word types, using concordance data from the MBC. This analysis revealed that, in those instances where word types could be used as both function words and content words, the function word uses were far more frequent. There was a degree of polysemy in the word types examined, with some meanings far more frequent than others. Word senses were identified that have yet to be recorded in dictionaries. The analysis showed the potential of the MBC for adding to what is already known about the lexicon of Māori by providing frequency and other distributional information together with new words senses, currently absent in the available dictionaries and grammars of Māori. Implications of the MBC for the learning and teaching of Māori were discussed, and some applications to language learning and teaching were outlined. Future corpus-based research was suggested.

The Multifaceted Role of Phafin Proteins in Cancer: A Comprehensive Review of Their Functions, Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Potential Across Various Tumor Types
Authors: Hameed Yasir
Published: December 2024

Phafin proteins, specifically Phafin1 and Phafin2, have recently emerged as critical players in cancer biology due to their involvement in essential cellular processes such as autophagy, apoptosis, and signal transduction. Phafin1, characterized by its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain and FYVE domain, regulates autophagy and apoptosis, thereby influencing cancer cell survival and proliferation. Dysregulation of Phafin1-mediated autophagy and its interaction with pro-apoptotic proteins like Bax contribute to apoptosis resistance in various cancers, including breast and lung cancer. Phafin2, sharing structural similarities with Phafin1, plays roles in endosomal trafficking and signaling pathways, enhancing cancer cell migration and invasion, particularly in colorectal and gastric cancers. Elevated levels of Phafin proteins correlate with poor prognosis and chemoresistance, underscoring their potential as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets. Targeting Phafin proteins through small molecule inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies presents a promising therapeutic strategy, aiming to restore the balance between autophagy and apoptosis in cancer cells. This review synthesizes recent research on Phafin proteins, highlighting their molecular mechanisms, roles in specific cancers, and potential clinical applications, providing a comprehensive understanding of their significance in cancer biology and therapy.

Authors: Pan Yue , Yang Houjun
Published: December 2024

Objective: To investigate the relationship between psychosomatic factors and functional indigestion, to provide relevant treatment methods and measures according to the actual situation as a clinical reference. Methods: This pilot study was conducted in the hospital from August 2023 to August 2024, and 100 patients who were diagnosed with functional dyspepsia were selected for the study. In this study, the anxiety self-rating scale and depression self-rating scale were applied to assess the psychological conditions of the patients and analyze the relationship between psychological conditions and functional dyspepsia. Subsequently, the patients were divided into two groups, in which one group was given conventional glutamine and other treatments, as the control group, and the other group was given comprehensive treatment, as the experimental group, to compare and analyze the differences in the treatment effects of the patients in the two groups. Results: Among the 100 patients in this study, 34 of them were accompanied by anxiety mood disorder, 22 patients were accompanied by depression mood disorder, and 44 patients were accompanied by anxiety and depression mood disorder. The psychosomatic factors were significantly associated with functional dyspepsia. After treatment, both groups of patients have high treatment efficiency of 98.00% and 84.00% respectively, but the difference in data comparison is statistically significant (P < 0.05), in which the experimental group has the higher efficiency. At the same time, before treatment, both groups of patients were accompanied by bad mood (SAS and SDS scores are higher than the standard score), and the comparison of data between groups is not significant (P > 0.05). After the treatment, the effect was significant, the patients’ scores (SAS and SDS) were reduced, meaning the patients in the experimental group had a greater degree of reduction, and the difference between the experimental group and the control group increased (P < 0.05), and the improvement of bad mood was better. Conclusion: The human body’s mental psychological factors usually functional dyspepsia accompanied by correlation, the occurrence of adverse mental psychological problems can lead to functional dyspepsia. Based on this, it is of positive significance to give patients comprehensive treatment, adopt measures such as acid suppression and gastric protection, and at the same time give patients psychological treatment, which is more conducive to improving patients’ bad mood and digestive function and promoting patients’ recovery.

Authors: Koçoğlu Şahnaz
Published: December 2024

Climate change has turned to be a security problem for all nations in the world. The reason of climate change is the cumulation of carbon dioxide. The major reason of carbon emission is the electricity producers depending on fossil fuels especially natural gas and coal. Therefore, the countries are trying to phase out the fossil fuel-based energy production and switch to renewable energy production. Despite all the efforts natural gas and coal are still the major resources in electricity production. Turkey is no different and natural gas and coal-based electricity production is an important source of energy. Besides climate change, the war between Russia and Ukraine also showed that natural gas dependence can be a serious security issue. This study aims to explore the impact of natural gas and coal prices together with major macro-economic factors on the electricity firms enlisted in Borsa İstanbul. Quantile regression model is used to determine the impact of factors in different market conditions. Statistically significant impact of BIST 100, exchange rate and coal on BIST Electricity index is observed.

A new inclusion compound of cinnamic aldehyde (cin) based on porous lutetium(III) trans-thienothiophene-2,5-dicarboxylate (ttdc2–) metal-organic framework was character-ized by means of single-crystal XRD, IR, CHN and TGA methods. The title crystal struc-ture with the formula [Lu2(H2O)2(ttdc)3]·2DMF·cin (1cin) was derived from the parent MOF [Lu2(H2O)2(ttdc)3]·4DMF (1DMF) upon slow solid-to-liquid solvent exchange. Cin-namal molecules, well-resolved within the structure of rigid coordination network, are hydrogen-bonded to the H atom of coordinated water molecule. Close π…π-stacking con-tacts between the coplanar propene fragments, capable for possible [2+2] cycloaddition reactions, and unusual for cinnamal inclusion compounds, were found between the neighbor guest molecules in the crystal structure.
EDUCATIONAL AND EDUCATIVE IDEAS OF MARIA MONTESSORI: RESEARCH OF THEIR RELEVANCE IN MODERN CONDITIONS BY ITALIAN SCIENTISTS
Authors: Durdas Alla
Published: December 2024

This article explores the educational philosophy and international influence of Maria Montessori (1870–1952), an Italian physician, educator and innovator in child-centered learning. Montessori’s approach, which emphasizes self-directed activity, practical learning, and collaborative play, has reshaped early childhood education around the world. She developed her educational principles in early 20th-century Italy, advocating for child autonomy, freedom within limits and respect for individual developmental needs. Her method, now widely adopted throughout the world, emphasizes the importance of prepared environments where children can engage with materials that develop practical, sensory and academic skills at their own pace. Despite Montessori’s innovative activities, her ideas initially faced resistance in her native Italy, partly due to a traditional and centralized educational system reluctant to adopt her radical, child-centered approach. This article delves into recent Italian research revisiting Montessori’s contributions, assessing their lasting impact and potential for adaptation within modern educational practices. Italian scholars highlight Montessori’s relevance as they seek methods that democratize learning, foster inclusivity and honor each child’s unique growth trajectory. The article also considers Montessori’s ideas in relation to current educational challenges, noting the flexibility of the method in meeting diverse learning needs. Montessori’s focus on respectful, non-coercive education, as well as her commitment to permitting children to take responsibility for their learning, aligns with contemporary discussions around inclusive education and personalized learning. The article contextualizes Montessori’s method within global educational reform, examining how her ideas on child activity and self-discipline continue to inspire pedagogical approaches focused on social-emotional growth, creativity and critical thinking. The legacy of Maria Montessori exemplifies a revolutionary shift in how childhood education can prioritize the holistic development of young learners, nurturing a sense of curiosity, responsibility and respect for others that is as relevant today as it was a century ago. The article highlights Montessori’s enduring impact, the evolution of her system across cultures and its adaptability in meeting the complex demands of modern education systems in the whole world.

The Impact of the Characteristics of Self-Service Technologies on Customer Experience Quality: Insights for Airline Companies
Authors: Duran Cem , Uray Nimet , Alkilani Shaymaa
Published: December 2024

Research on self-service technologies (SSTs) has not been fully developed, and it is still open to debate with many aspects concerning its effect on customer experience and potential outcomes empirically, especially in the airline industry. Studies regarding these technologies and their potential impact are needed in the airline industry as they represent an integral part of the tourism industry. Previous studies on the airline industry have merely focused on SSTs and their impact on customer adoption, tendency to use, and satisfaction. The SSTs have the capacity to influence how customers perceive their experience in the overall process of getting a service. Thus, customer experience quality (CXQ) is influenced by the perceived characteristics of SSTs. The literature on the impact of SSTs on CXQ is considerably limited in general, particularly in the airline industry. More research on this issue is needed, especially following the outbreak of COVID-19; thus, this study aims to investigate a model that integrates the impact of the perceived characteristics of SSTs as antecedents and outcomes of CXQ. The research design of this study is based on a mixed-method approach: a preliminary study consisting of two qualitative investigations and a main study through face-to-face questionnaires with airline passengers. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is applied to the data collected from passengers traveling with the airline company in Turkey (N=501) through questionnaires applied as mall intercepts. The results of this study include extending the CXQ dimensions to add consistency and institutionalism, hence contributing to the service and tourism literature. Furthermore, this research provides actionable insights for managers in airline businesses to invest more in SSTs to improve their CXQ, customer satisfaction, and positive word-of-mouth communication (WOM).

The significance of this study lies in its examination of how co-creation impacts tourists' willingness to pay for tourism offerings, providing crucial insights for enhancing the tourist experience and promoting sustainable tourism practices essential for the industry's long-term viability. This research investigates the effect of co-creation engagement on tourists' financial commitments to tourism products or services, aiming to understand better how co-creation enhances the tourist experience. An online survey was conducted in October 2023, targeting tourists who visited São Miguel’s Island in the Azores in recent years (n=220). The survey explored seven key constructs: involvement, customer co-creation, satisfaction, environmental concerns, support for sustainable tourism development, and willingness to pay. The results underscore the positive impact of consumer co-creation on satisfaction, suggesting that investment in co-creative activities can substantially enhance tourists' experiences. The study provides valuable insights for tourism stakeholders, indicating that fostering co-creative activities can significantly boost tourist satisfaction and willingness to pay. Additionally, integrating sustainability principles into tourism services offers a competitive advantage, while targeted marketing strategies based on visitor demographics can maximize financial returns. This research contributes to existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the connections between co-creation, satisfaction, environmental concerns, and willingness to pay in tourism. The findings have practical implications for improving service quality, promoting sustainability, and optimizing marketing strategies in the tourism industry, benefiting both academia and practitioners.

This study explores the effect of yoga and physical training on emotional intelligence (EI) in secondary school students. Emotional intelligence, which encompasses self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, and social skills, is essential for adolescents to navigate the challenges of academic, social, and emotional development. Given the increasing interest in promoting holistic student well-being, this research investigates whether practices such as yoga and physical exercise can enhance emotional intelligence in this age group.A total of 100 students from Government High School, East Godavari, were randomly assigned to three groups: Group I (yoga), Group II (physical training), and Group III (control). The intervention lasted for 12 weeks, with both experimental groups engaging in their respective programs six days per week. Emotional intelligence was assessed before and after the intervention using the Emotional Intelligence Scale developed by Prof. Thimaguzam. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to determine the impact of the interventions.Results indicated significant improvements in emotional intelligence scores for both experimental groups. The yoga group showed the most substantial improvement in EI, particularly in self-regulation, emotional awareness, and stress management, with a mean score increase of 13.74 points compared to the control group. The physical training group also showed improvement, but to a lesser extent, with a mean score increase of 6.30 points.This study concludes that both yoga and physical training positively influence emotional intelligence, with yoga demonstrating a more significant effect. The findings underscore the importance of integrating yoga and physical training into school curricula to foster not only physical health but also emotional and psychological development. Such holistic interventions can enhance students' emotional well-being, contributing to their academic success and overall resilience.

Published: December 2024

This section presents research on psychological risk factors related to adolescent sexual abuse. Due to the complexity of the subject matter, many retrospective studies have identified risk factors associated with sexual abuse. It was not possible to achieve random orientation of relationships in these studies. Not only do memories change over the years, but the experience of sexual abuse and its aftermath can be altered by familial, relational, emotional and personal factors. There are several prospective studies that have identified risk factors in adolescents. Thus, the available reviews are divided into two sections: (a) Reviews of adolescent sexual abuse and (b) Reviews of risk factors in adolescents and adults. Risk factors are listed in the next section

Salah satu kelompok usaha perikanan tangkap skala kecil adalah perikanan payang. Kapal payang di Teluk Palabuhanratu dioperasikan pada siang hari oleh 10-16 nelayan. Faktor musim ikan yang selalu berubah, rendahnya akses IPTEKs dan rendahnya jenjang pendidikan nelayan diduga penyebab pendapatan nelayan payang yang tidak menentu dan cenderung semakin kecil dan dapat melemahkan aspek keberlanjutan usaha perikanan payang. Kegiatan penelitian yang dilakukan pada bulan Mei-Juni 2023 di Palabuhanratu, Provinsi Jawa Barat bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan mengukur faktor-faktor kerentanan nelayan payang di PPN Palabuhanratu. Metode penelitian adalah wawancara dengan kuesioner yang menggunakan instrumen FLIRES check. Pengambilan data menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan analisis deskriptif, tabulasi data, dan analisis leverage. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kapal payang di PPN Palabuhanratu berukuran 5 GT, menggunakan mesin motor tempel 40 PK, dan alat tangkap berukuran >200 meter dengan mata jaring yang berbeda setiap bagiannya. Pengoperasian payang masih tradisional dengan metode one day fishing dan daerah penangkapan yang tersebar di Teluk Palabuhanratu dan sekitarnya. Urutan faktor yang paling resilience hingga yang paling rentan adalah faktor alam, fisik, kelembagaan, keuangan, SDM, sosial. Nelayan payang berada pada status cukup resilience dengan nilai rata sebesar 2,45 untuk pemilik kapal dan 2,21 untuk ABK. Rekomendasi yang dapat diterapkan untuk perikanan payang adalah penggunaan alat bantu penangkapan dalam teknik penangkapan ikan, seperti rumpon dan /atau lampu untuk operasi penangkapan malam hari dan diberikan edukasi serta pelatihan yang dapat dilakukan oleh dinas terkait setempat.
