EARNING CAPACITY: USE IT (FOR YOURSELF) OR LOSE IT Rudman v Road Accident Fund 2003 2 SA 234 (SCA)
Authors: Frans E Marx
Published: July 2023

In Rudman v Road Accident Fund (2003 2 SA 234 (SCA)), the appellant, a mohair farmer, was also a game farmer, hunting outfitter and registered professional hunter. He brought large numbers of foreign hunters to the Eastern Cape and his business was one of the most successful of its kind in the province. Acting on advice from his financial managers, the appellant acquired control in 1977 of a company, Blaauwkrantz Farming Enterprises (Pty) Ltd of which he, his wife and children were directors. Although the farming and hunting activities were done through the company, these activities were in fact performed by the appellant in person. The income generated by the company was thus through the energetic effort of the appellant. Both the hunting and the farming were done on rugged terrain and required considerable physical effort from the appellant. He was an active man who always maintained a high level of personal fitness and this contributed to his success as hunter and farmer.In May 1998 the appellant was involved in a motor collision which changed his life dramatically. After a lengthy period in hospital he returned to the farm but he would never hunt again and would also not be able to pursue his farming activities with the same vigour as before.The appellant claimed, amongst other things, past loss of earnings in the amount of R745 882, as well as loss of earning capacity in the amount of R1 380 000 (238 E-F). These claims arose from the physical handicaps such as severe restriction of movement due to miscellaneous injuries suffered by the appellant. The prognosis for recovery was poor and the appellant would, according to the evidence, never again function as a professional hunter, nor would he be able to perform all the farming duties he had performed prior to the accident.
Victims of Their Own Fear: the Perceived Safety and Crime Victim Experience in Russia
Authors: Verkeev Arseny , Serebrennikov Dmitriy
Published: July 2023

In recent decades, criminologists around the world have observed a decrease in the level of crime, especially violent crime, that is, the so-called “great crime drop”. However, the actual safety may not correspond to subjective safety, i.e., how people perceive their safety against various threats. In this article, we use the Russian Crime Victimization Survey(2021) conducted by the Institute for the Rule of Law at the European University at St. Petersburg to study the relationships between fear of crime, and the sociodemographic and the criminological characteristics of the respondents. These data make it possible to assess how the experience of victims of various crimes and their fear of different types of crimes are related. We find that the relationships between socio-demographic characteristics and fear of crime in Russia are broadly similar to those observed in other countries. At the same time, we identify a number of noteworthy features regarding crime victims. First, the victim experience increases the level of fear of crime on average. Second, the more serious the crime incidents people have experienced in the past, the higher their level of fear of crime. Third, victims of classic in-person crimes (such as theft or assault) often fear future crime. Moreover, in case of property crime, they tend to fear future property crime but not violence. At the same time, victims of violence can fear future property crime along with violence. The fact that the incident was remote (committed via the Internet or telephone) is not related to the fear of crime. Thus, the fear of “classic” crimes is experienced differently by the victims as compared to remote crimes which poses broader questions about the dynamics of perceived safety and the demand for the law enforcement involvement in the future.
Durkheim’s Myth: What Wittgenstein and Ryle Might Have to Say About the Validity of the Basic Concepts of the Social Sciences
Authors: Kaploun Viktor
Published: July 2023

This paper uses some of the conceptual tools developed by the primary authors of the Oxford-Cambridge tradition in the philosophy of language (especially G. Ryle and L. Wittgenstein) to analyze the “grammar” (in the specific Wittgensteinian sense of the word) of some basic concepts of social sciences such as “reality”, “action”, “consciousness”, etc., having mainly emerged in the language of E. Durkheim’s tradition in social theory. The focus of the paper is the concept of “institution”, which still occupies a privileged place in the language of contemporary social sciences. The paper highlights some conceptual problems, logical nonsenses, and philosophical myths embedded in the language of classical social theory coming from the philosophical language of the 19th century that, in turn, had inherited them from the centuries-old tradition of European metaphysics. Due to the specific metaphorical use of concepts, this language may undermine the clarification of reality and hide the real mechanisms of the functioning of institutions and real power relations in certain contexts. The paper also examines the grammar of the concept of “habitus” as introduced by M. Mauss, and argues that some traditional concepts in social theory can be effectively re-interpreted in the methodological perspective of the pragmatic turn in the social sciences (“theory of practices”).
PEDİATRİK İLAÇ UYGULAMALARINDA KULLANILAN TOZ FLAKON ŞEKLİNDEKİ ANTİBİYOTİKLERİN KURU TOZ HACİMLERİNİN İN VİTRO ANALİZİ
Authors: KAYA Vildan , COŞKUN ERÇELİK Hamide , YILDIZ Dilek
Published: July 2023

Amaç

Hemşireler ilaç uygulamasında son ve en kritik basamaktadır.

Doz hesaplamalarında kuru toz hacminin

dikkate alınması önemlidir. Çocuk ilaç uygulamalarında

göz ardı edilen kuru toz hacminin doğru dozun hesaplanmasındaki

etkisi yeterince bilinmemektedir. Bu

çalışmada çocukların ilaç uygulamalarında kullanılan

toz flakon şeklindeki antibiyotiklerin kuru toz hacimlerinin

in vitro analiz yöntemiyle incelenmesi ve kuru toz

hacim farkının belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.

Gereç ve Yöntem

Bu deneysel çalışma, Temmuz 2022- Ağustos 2022

tarihlerinde in vitro analiz yöntemi kullanılarak laboratuvar

ortamında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada çocuk

hemşireliğinde sık kullanılan 12 antibiyotiğin kuru toz

hacim farkı hesaplanmıştır. Bu amaçla iki araştırmacı

aynı anda birbirinden bağımsız olarak; her ilacı ikişer

defa hazırlamış, toplamda her ilaç için dört ölçüm

yapılmıştır. Elde edilen hacim farklarının ortalaması

alınarak her ilacın kuru toz hacmi hesaplanmıştır. Ölçümler

arasındaki gözlemci-içi ve gözlemciler-arası

uyuşum analizleri Intraclass Correlation Coefficient ile

değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, ölçümler arasındaki farkların

anlamlılığı da eşleştirilmiş t-testi ile analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular

Pediatrik ilaç uygulamalarında kullanılan toz flakon

şeklindeki antibiyotiklerin neredeyse tamamına yakını

(%95) değişen miktarlarda kuru toz hacmine sahiptir.

Kuru toz hacminin etkisiyle elde edilen toplam miktarın

ilacı sulandırmak için kullanılan sıvıdan fazla olduğu

ve kuru toz nedeniyle oluşan hacim artışının göz ardı

edildiği doz hesaplamalarında ilaç konsantrasyonunun

azaldığı doğrulanmıştır. Sulandırılan ilacın miligram

hacmi arttıkça kuru toz hacmi de artmaktadır.

İntravenöz ilaç doz hesaplamalarında 10 üniteden az

olan kuru toz hacim farkının göz ardı edilebileceği bulunmuştur.

Çocuk ilaç uygulamalarında, istem edilen

doz ne kadar küçük olursa olsun, doğru ilaç dozunun

hesaplanması için kuru toz hacmi dikkate alınmalıdır.

Sonuç

Kuru toz hacminin dikkate alınmaması çocuklara eksik

doz ilaç verilmesine neden olacağı için ilaç hataları

arasında yer almalıdır. İlaç prospektüslerinde kuru toz

hacmi bilgisine yer verilmesinin oldukça yararlı olacağı

düşünülmektedir. Öğrenci ve çalışan hemşirelerin

eğitimlerinde kuru toz hacmi bilgisini ve farkındalığını

artıracak içeriklere yer verilmesi yararlı olabilir.
In Silico Identification and Characterization of Potential Red Seaweed Allergens
Authors: Daniel S Gaspan , Mark Paulo S Tolentino
Published: July 2023

Red seaweeds such as Kappaphycus alvarezii and Porphyra yezoensis have many applications, especially in the food industry, which suggests the need for knowing their potential allergenicity. In silico approaches can be used to determine if a protein is an existing allergen or has the ability to cross-react with one. In this study, 318 sequences for Kappaphycus alvarezii and 641 protein sequences for Porphyra yezoensis were screened for potential allergens using AlgPred 2.0 and AllergenOnline, followed by the FAO allergenicity test using Allermatch. Data from this were used to predict the B-cell epitopes using the IEDP prediction tool and T-cell epitopes using MHC2Pred and were modeled using SWISS-MODEL and PyMOL to highlight specific epitopes. These models were assessed for quality using Global Quality Model Estimate (GQME) scores, ERRAT scores, and VERIFY 3D. Results showed fourteen (14) potential red seaweed allergens, four (4) of which were found in Kappaphycus alvarezii and ten (10) in Porphyra yezoensis. Several proteins of red seaweeds shared structural similarities with species normally associated with food allergies, such as common hazel, Atlantic salmon, and shark catfish, as well as other types of allergens such as those in house-dust mites, that could potentially induce cross-reactivity. Additionally anticipated were specific B-cell and T-cell epitopes and their specific peptide sequences that were incorporated in the 3D models, which were created for further comparison with other molecular structures of recognized allergens. Almost all of the 3D models had a GQME score of above 0.7 and had a high ERRAT score for overall quality but some failed to pass the VERIFY 3D test. This study could serve as a preliminary yet robust approach to identifying allergenic proteins in red seaweed and narrowing down potential existing cross-reactive allergens from various species that could aid in future in vitro and in vivo allergenicity studies.

Tipo de interés, precios y transacciones de vivienda en España
Authors: Ruiz Bravo de Mansilla Gumersindo
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es medir la relación entre variaciones del tipo de interés y las de los precios y transacciones en el mercado de vivienda en España. Partimos de la hipótesis, argumentada mediante una revisión selectiva de la literatura, que hay una relación negativa entre la variable tipo de interés y las dos que consideramos. Utilizamos datos trimestrales desde 1995 a la actualidad de precios de vivienda (euros por metro cuadrado) y el tipo hipotecario de final del trimestre, obteniendo una relación causal negativa entre ambas variables. Para seguir la evolución temporal de la relación tomamos de uno a cuatro trimestres de retardo, encontrando que la correlación es más fuerte conforme pasa el tiempo. Justificamos trabajar con modelos univariantes por un problema de cointegración cuando se toman diferentes variables para explicar el comportamiento de los precios. La relación entre tipo de interés y transacciones totales está limitada por ser la serie más corta, y encontramos una relación positiva sin significado para todo el período, y una negativa muy explicativa, para un periodo seleccionado. La literatura sobre el tema muestra que el tipo de interés no tiene el mismo impacto en el precio de la vivienda a un nivel general que cuando se estudian mercados locales, con factores diferenciados de oferta y demanda de vivienda; calculamos algunos casos del mercado español y añadimos nuevos resultados a la investigación. Se realiza una extensa revisión de la relación entre el tipo de interés, o un concepto más amplio de política monetaria, y vivienda, de la cual emergen variables como condiciones de crédito y el mecanismo de transmisión de la política monetaria del banco central hacia el sector inmobiliario. El trabajo confirma la hipótesis general de la efectividad del tipo de interés como una herramienta de política monetaria para corregir desequilibrios en el mercado inmobiliario, la relevancia de los mercados locales en cuanto a correlaciones más fuertes entre nivel de precios y tipo de interés, y el peculiar ajuste de la vivienda en el mercado español en cantidades y precios.
La Vivienda de Protección Oficial como una herramienta de política en las comunidades autónomas. Un análisis empírico durante el período 2008-2022
Authors: Blanco-Arana M. Carmen
Published: July 2023

El presente trabajo recoge un análisis sobre la Vivienda de Protección Oficial (VPO) como una herramienta de política en las Comunidades Autónomas (CCAA). En particular, se ha analizado un conjunto de factores determinantes que pueden ser influyentes en este tipo de vivienda en el país durante el periodo 2008-2022. Así, a través de un panel de datos para las CCAA, podemos concluir que, si bien existe una asociación positiva y significativa entre la VPO y la vivienda libre (VL), en el caso de otros factores macroeconómicos como el Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) pc y el salario medio, éstos influyen negativamente en la evolución de la VPO. Esto puede interpretarse como que en épocas de mayores niveles de PIB pc y mayores salarios medios, la mayor demanda de vivienda hace que la promoción tienda a focalizarse hacia la vivienda libre más que a la vivienda protegida. En cualquier caso, encontramos significación en la promoción total de vivienda sobre la promoción de vivienda protegida. Teniendo en cuenta los incentivos que pueden proporcionarse para fomentar a largo plazo la creación de un parque de vivienda protegida, un resultado significativo es que la promoción de vivienda protegida en cualquiera de sus formas se debe más a la voluntad de los poderes públicos que a variables macroeconómicas de entorno.
Enhancing the Modal Split in Paramaribo Through Design-Driven Participatory Action Research Fuelled by Urban Tactics
Authors: Rymenants Sam , Struyf Marlies , Heirman Sigrid , Goethals Marleen
Published: July 2023

There appears to be no “one-size-fits-all” strategy for evolving from a car-dependent urban environment towards a well-balanced modal split. The search for a suitable mobility strategy for a particular setting can be framed as seeking a suitable governance strategy. This article explores the opportunities of design-driven participatory action research (DD-PAR) as a governance strategy for improving mobility within a context of weak governance by investigating a single case study conducted in Paramaribo North, Suriname. Despite available plans, designs, and policy proposals, Surinamese public authorities are struggling to improve mobility. Notwithstanding many efforts, clientelism and patronage are weakening the power of the government, resulting in unimplemented public initiatives. Moreover, there are few civil society organisations to advocate for this weak public power. This creates a context in which neither the government nor civil society is sufficiently equipped to realise the modal shift in Paramaribo. Governance strategies depending on strong government or proactive civil society (e.g., actor-based strategies) are thus not suitable. In contrast, DD-PAR appears to have potential as a governance strategy, as it uses research and academics as forces to create societal enthusiasm, establish actor networks, and generate action. The current case study identifies key actors and preconditions for building a network of actors. It also provides tentative insights into urban tactics for increasing pressure on the government to provide adequate infrastructure and policy to accommodate newly developed action that supports a more diverse modal split.

While building smart living areas, the main purpose is to increase the quality and comfort of life without compromising health and safety. With the increase of new technologies used in growing and updated modern living areas, we witness that the needs are shaped and changed with this change. The primary purpose of each new technology is to offer more safety, health, comfort and convenience to the person, organization or structure that it addresses. The basic means of the connected vehicles has been to ensure the safety of the user in the best way, and people expect more than vehicle. With the widespread use of autonomous vehicles, that is without driver assistant, in the near future, vehicles are expected to connect and communicate with the ecosystem structured for the future and among themselves. Thanks to this communication that the vehicles have, the traffic flow on the route, the road condition, the location of the pedestrians around, possible malfunctions and failures that may occur and all such information will be shared by the vehicle with each other and the future ecosystem. On the other hand, while the vehicles are becoming more connected with any of useful technologies, thanks to the remote connection provided by their technology, manufacturers can easily develop their vehicles without recalling. In this study, information was given about the connected vehicles, the remote connection infrastructure and methods. The advantages provided by these systems are explained.

Simülasyonlar gerçek ortamların taklit edilmesi ve birebir benzerlerinin matematiksel modellerle yaratılması ile oluşturulan dijital ortamlardır. Bu dijital ortamlara gerçek dünyanın verileri yüklenerek yaşanabilecek tüm olasılıkların hesaplanabilmesi mümkün olabilmektedir. Ortaya çıkan bilginin ise gerçek dünyadaki politikaları etkileyebilmesi tartışılması gereken bir konu olmaktadır. Simülasyonlar sayesinde devletlerin önemli güvenlik meselelerine dair olasılık hesaplarının yapılması artık sık sık başvurulan yöntemler haline gelmiştir. Ancak dijital alan üzerinden sağlanmaya çalışılan bu güvenlik yönteminin savunma dayanağı olarak yönlendirici olup olmayacağı ya da simülasyon verilerine dayanarak bir eylemde bulunmanın saldırı olarak yorumlanıp yorumlanamayacağı tartışılmalıdır. Bu çalışma bu sorulara yanıt aramak için ele alınmıştır. Kavramsal çerçeve ön-alıcı ve önleyici müdahale kavramlarıdır. Bu çerçevede simülasyon verilerinin müdahale ederken bir savunma dayanağı olarak kullanılmasının ön-alıcı mı yoksa önleyici mi olduğu tartışılmaktadır. Simülasyon verileri ve yapay zekâ analizlerinin düşman tanımlaması ve saldırganlık göstergelerinin hesaplamalarında meşru bir hukuksal dayanak olup olamaması uluslararası iş birliğinin şekli ve uluslararası aktörlerin kabul edilir seçenekleri meşrulaştırma süreçlerine göre değişmektedir.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Milk and dairy products are an important component of a balanced diet. Milk and dairy products deficiency contributes to the violation of the main health indicators of various age groups of the population.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the frequency of consumption of various groups of dairy products by students.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 388 full-time students of the Medical Institute of the Peoples Friendship University of Russia took part in the cross-sectional study. Of all the participants, 185 were men and 203 were women; the average age was (20.42.2) and (21.91.7) years, respectively. Anthropometric measurements were performed according to the standard program. The frequency of consumption of various groups of dairy products was studied using a modified questionnaire on the frequency of consumption of products.
RESULTS: analysis of the questionnaire on the frequency of consumption of products demonstrated that approximately 14% of the respondents did not consume milk over the past month, about a third cottage cheese, 21% natural sour-milk products and 16% sour-milk products with various fillers. Hard cheeses and pickled cheeses are absent from daily food rations of 7% and 20% of respondents, respectively. Daily consumption was recorded as follows: milk 24% of respondents; cottage cheese 5%; fermented milk products (natural and with flavored) 9% and 8%, respectively; hard cheese 18%. The study also revealed gender differences in the characteristics of consumer preferences: women are less likely to consume cream, sour cream, soft cheese and milk. Among female students, the prevalence of overweight individuals was higher and amounted to 25% (n=50), while among male students 19% (n=35). A modest inverse relationship was found between daily milk intake and body weight, as well as between milk intake and body mass index (r=0.61 and r=0.65, respectively).
CONCLUSIONS: our study revealed insufficient consumption of milk and dairy products among students. The relationship between the frequency of their consumption and indicators of physical development was noted.

Simultaneous estimation of reference temperature and heat transfer coefficient in transient film cooling problems
Authors: ADEMANE Vashista , KADOLI Ravikiran , HINDASAGERI Vijaykumar
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to simultaneously estimate the reference temperature and heat transfer coefficient in film cooling situations from transient temperature measurements. The exist-ing steady-state technique is a tedious process and employs distinct boundary conditions to evaluate each parameters of the film cooling. Applying different boundary conditions may lead to errors in the estimated parameters due to differences in aerodynamic condi-tions. On the other hand, a transient technique can estimate both parameters in a single test by utilizing short-duration transient temperature data. Hence, the present study uses a novel approach for solving transient film cooling problems based on the inverse heat con-duction approach, which can simultaneously estimate heat transfer coefficient and refer-ence temperature. The present method employs an optimization technique known as the Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm. The objective function for the inverse algorithm is con-structed using the analytical solution of a transient one-dimensional semi-infinite body. The transient surface temperature data required for the present analysis is obtained through a numerical simulation of film cooling arrangement over a flat surface. Laterally averaged effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient for blowing ratios of 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 are analyzed using the present technique and compared against the steady-state simulation results to demonstrate the methodology. An average deviation of around 7% for the estimated effec-tiveness and 4% for the heat transfer coefficient values are observed between the present IHCP method and the steady state simulation results. The deviation in heat transfer coeffi-cient predominately occurred near the film hole exit of x/d < 5, which might have occurred due to the conjugate solution employed in the present work.

Published: July 2023

This article aims to demonstrate the flow of viscous nanofluid over a non-linear stretching sheet. Considering thermal radiation and dissipative heat in the heat transport phenomenon encourages the flow properties. In generally, nanofluids are employed in heat transfer equip-ment because they improve the thermal characteristics of coolants present in the equipment. Additionally, these fluids possess unique features that have the potential to be applied in a variety of applications, such as pharmaceutical procedures, hybrid power engines, household refrigerators, grinding, and microchips, among others. Consequently, the current model is built to allow for the optimal selection of thermophysical parameters such as conductivity and viscosity, which will enhance the overall effectiveness of the study. Appropriate transfor-mation rules have been used to modify the highly non-linear PDEs into a couple of highly non-linear ODEs. An efficient built-in MATLAB bvp5C algorithm addresses the boundary value problem under consideration. Using the dimensionless parameters assumed in the prob-lem, changes in the velocity as well as the temperature profiles are shown, and rate coefficients, by using numerical simulations are also employed in tabular form. The important outcomes which are exposed in the study are; that the particle concentration is used as a controlling pa-rameter to reduce the nanofluid velocity, whereas it favours enhancing the fluid temperature and the radiating heat along with the coupling parameter due to the inclusion of dissipative heat also encourages to overshoot the temperature profile.
Out of pocket expenditure on cancer patients at a tertiary care hospital of Lucknow

Published: July 2023

The increasing cost of cancer diagnosis and its management has led to a huge financial burden and noticed to be one of the major contributors to poverty. Out-of-pocket expenses (OOPE) significantly impact patients households work as well as experience to cancer treatment. Understanding its nature of burden will guide us in formulation of plans to avoid financial distress among the cancer patients.

A tertiary care hospital based cross-sectional observational and analytical study was conducted on 120 cancer patients attending surgical OPD at King Georges Medical University, Lucknow, from July 2020 to November 2021. Sociodemographic and economic variables, costs incurred under various headings and expenditure details of the subjects were obtained by pre-designed, pre-tested, semi-structured questionnaire. Direct medical and direct non-medical costs were calculated, and its total was used as the OOPE. Appropriate statistical tests were applied wherever applicable.

Overall mean out-of-pocket expenditure by study participants was Rs 79925.5 (51776-121651). The expense on direct medical expenditure was Rs 45151(30051, 90051) and indirect non-medical expenditure was Rs 10000(5000,14000). We found significantly higher OOPE in subjects residing more than 100 km away from Lucknow (P = 0.017), with gall bladder cancer (P = 0.001), who were diagnosed with cancer while screening (P =0.034), who were diagnosed at Private clinic/hospital (P = < 0.001) and delayed treatment (P = 0.023).

Cancer patients experience significant OOPE following their diagnosis. Its impact on patient wellbeing with their treatment decisions need to be further studied.

AIM: To observe the imaging features of color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and computed tomography (CT) or computed tomography dacryocystography (CT-DCG) in different types of lacrimal sac space-occupying lesions (SOLs).
METHODS: This retrospective case series study included 21 patients with lacrimal sac SOLs who underwent lacrimal sac surgery between January 2018 and March 2022. The imaging features of CDU and CT or CT-DCG in these patients were extracted from the examination cloud system. The images were observed and analyzed.
RESULTS: The detection rate of lacrimal SOLs between CDU (21/21, 100%) and CT or CT-DCG (20/21, 95.2%) had no statistically significant difference (P=1.0). CDU could detect the blood flow signals in all SOLs except mucocele and mucopeptide concretion. Among them, polyps had characteristic imaging changes on CDU and CT-DCG. The mucoceles and mucopeptide concretions had characteristic imaging changes on CDU, which could provide more information for differential diagnosis.
CONCLUSION: The morphology and internal blood flow signals of lacrimal sac SOLs can be observed using CDU. CT or CT-DCG has advantages in observing structural damage around the lacrimal sac mass. Therefore, CDU may be used as a routine examination to exclude lacrimal sac SOLs before dacryocystorhinostomy in the absence of preoperative CT or CT-DCG.

Participants were divided into the diabetic group and non-diabetic group, non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group, and Hp infection group. Gender, age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and Hp data were recorded to compare the degree of DR lesions and Hp infection. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between DR and Hp infection.
RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between the diabetic and non-diabetic group (χ2=94.17, P<0.0001). Logistic regression analysis showed that male sex, age, BMI, SBP, TG, LDL-C, and Hp infection were independent risk factors for DR. There was no correlation between the degree of DR lesions and Hp infection (ρ=-0.00339, P=0.7753). Age [odds ratio (OR)=1.035, 95%CI: 1.024, 1.046, P<0.0001] and SBP (OR=1.009, 95%CI: 1.004, 1.015, P=0.0013) were independent risk factors for the degree of DR.
CONCLUSION: There is a significant correlation between DR and Hp infection in the physical examination population. Hp infection is a risk factor for DR, and there is no significant difference between Hp infection and DR of different pathological degrees. Actively eradicating Hp may be of help to prevent DR.
АВТЕНТИЧНІСТЬ І ЕКОЛОГІЯ ЯК АКСІОЛОГІЧНІ ТРЕНДИ ПОСТПАНДЕМІЧНОГО СВІТУ, АБО ПЕРЕВІДКРИВАЮЧИ «СЛОВНИК ЦИФРОВОЇ ЕПОХИ»
Authors: Комісар Людмила
Published: July 2023

У статті розглядаються питання, пов’язані з актуальними викликами, що постали перед людством уцифровому постпандемічному світі. Проводиться ідея щодо потреби ревізії і «перевідкриття» на онтологічномурівні ціннісних орієнтирів, дієвих для сучасної людини. У даному аспекті здійснюється культур-філософський і етико-аксіологічний аналіз екодискурсу в перспективі «реальної віртуальності» крізь призму реактуалізації парадигмиавтентичності. Особлива увага приділяється феноменам «ерозії» ціннісної автентичності та «дифузії»персональної відповідальності перед природою у сучасних диґітальних практиках «прочитання» соціальної дійсності.

Підкреслюється її всеосяжний характер, синкретична єдністьвідповідальності соціальної та екологічної. Підкреслюється, що дослідження та використання надбань традиційноїкультури є необхідною умовою утвердження відповідальності як базової цінності сучасного суспільства, щопередбачає концепція сталого розвитку.
Open Banking: uma inovação no Sistema Financeiro
Authors: Silva Elisângela Freitas da , Freitas Junior Nilton , Tavares Leandra Vieira Viana , Machado Marilia Costa , Medeiros Rayane Rossini Resende , Oliveira Erik da Silva
Published: July 2023

O Open Banking é uma ferramenta recente e tem como objetivo a redução da barreira de entrada e a ascensão da concorrência entre as instituições financeiras proporcionando aos usuários menores taxas e melhores condições nas negociações. Isso é possível pois é um sistema aberto, onde os bancos compartilham seus produtos e serviços, bem como suas taxas cobradas, e que clientes ganham a possibilidade de autorização para compartilhar seus dados e históricos bancários. Assim, mesmo tendo conta apenas numa instituição, as demais terão conhecimento sobre o cliente e se este tiver um bom relacionamento bancário lhe serão oferecidas as melhores condições, a fim de atender suas necessidades e consequentemente trazer este cliente para esta instituição. Por esse motivo, o presente trabalho buscou investigar o nível de conhecimento e utilização desta ferramenta junto a algumas empresas, visando contribuir, de alguma forma, no compartilhamento de dados relevantes, incentivando o uso e o avanço entre os usuários. Para coletar dados, foi criado um formulário com 4 questões quantitativas e aplicado a 15 empresários de uma cidade situada na Zona da Mata mineira - MG. Mediante os dados e documentos expostos na execução deste estudo, foi possível perceber que os empresários não tinham o total conhecimento a respeito do Open Banking e como essa nova ferramenta funciona e no que se refere às suas vantagens não só aos clientes, mas também às instituições financeiras com o compartilhamento de informações como as taxas, serviços e produtos de diversos bancos. Por isso, o tema carece de divulgação para conscientizar os empresários e os usuários sobre os benefícios da ferramenta Open Banking.
Socially Responsible Tourist Behaviour in the Goričko Nature Park
Authors: Grah Miran , Lebe Sonja Sibila , Milfelner Borut
Published: July 2023

The aim of this paper is to empirically evaluate a conceptual model which uses socially responsible behaviour (SRB) as its central component. Past research has focused primarily on social responsibility consequences, but little is known about the impact of a destination’s image on SRB. We conducted an opinion poll to test our structural model shaped to measure the SRB. Our sample were visitors to the Goričko Nature Park in Slovenia. After testing the content validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity and reliability of constructs, results show that a) the destination image is an important precursor to three perceived SRB dimensions (economic, social, environmental), and b) that SRB dimensions have a positive impact on visitor satisfaction, intention to revisit the destination, and to spread a positive wordof-mouth. Results provide a comprehensive view of SRB, which proves the important role of the tested constructs as well as the cause, and the consequence for/of SRB.
Smoki i pokrewne im stworzenia. Obecność smoczych przedstawień w sztuce andyjskiej Wicekrólestwa Peru
Authors: Kubiak Ewa
Published: July 2023

W niniejszym tekście zostało scharakteryzowane występowanie motywu smoka, które możemy odnaleźć w sztuce Wicekrólestwa Peru. Jako obszar przeznaczony do analizy wybrane zostały tereny andyjskie, które ze względu na strukturę ludności najsilniej poddane były procesowi metysażu kulturowego. Tam spotykały się dawne tradycje inkaskie z religią katolicką przywiezioną i zaszczepioną przez hiszpańskich konkwistadorów. Asymilacja elit lokalnego społeczeństwa do nowych realiów nastąpiła stosunkowo szybko, szczególnie w Cusco. Religia najeźdźców została przyjęta przez ludność tubylczą i stała się bardzo ważnym elementem życia mieszkańców miasta i regionu. Trzeba także pamiętać, że w zakresie religii katolickiej i związanej z nią sztuki nastąpił proces asymilacji, którego podłożem była chęć utrzymania odrębności w ramach nowych realiów kulturowych, jednak nie był to opór wobec religii chrześcijańskiej narzuconej przez rządy Korony Hiszpańskiej, a potrzeba zachowania własnej tożsamości związanej z rodzimymi tradycjami. Wiele motywów pojawiających się w sztuce andyjskiej można poddać analizie na trzech poziomach interpretacyjnych: globalnym, iberyjskim i andyjskim, także motyw smoka może podlegać wieloaspektowej analizie dzięki wieloznacznemu wymiarowi symboliczno-ikonograficznemu. Najbardziej popularne były przedstawienia o charakterze globalnym. Smoki najczęściej można spotkać w towarzystwie świętych, a przede wszystkim na wizerunkach Matki Boskiej Niepokalanie Poczętej lub w scenach religijnych o wymowie alegorycznej. Druga część artykułu została poświęcona obecności fantastycznych stworzeń określanych jako tarascas, które w kulturze hiszpańskiej i hispanoamerykańskiej stały się dość popularnym elementem procesji Bożego Ciała. Najrzadziej odnajdujemy przedstawienia o charakterze lokalnym, wykształcone w konkretnej, andyjskiej przestrzeni kulturowej, jednak i takich motywów w sztuce kolonialnej Peru nie brakowało. Tradycja mitologii grecko-rzymskiej i wierzeń andyjskich splata się w motywach i scenach, które stają się świadectwem współistnienia form i znaczeń, potwierdzeniem niezwykle interesującego zjawiska metysażu kulturowego (hiszp. mestizaje cultural).
Motyw kawii domowych (świnek morskich) w malarstwie europejskim doby nowożytnej
Authors: Strzemecka Joanna
Published: July 2023

Przedmiotem niniejszych rozważań jest europejska recepcja motywu świnki morskiej na przykładzie dzieł malarskich z okresu od XVI do XVIII wieku. Interpretacja jej znaczenia w dawnej Europie jest o tyle interesująca, że dotyczy zwierzęcia o już ustalonej funkcji kulturowej. Ojczyzną świnki morskiej jest bowiem Ameryka Południowa, gdzie kawia hodowana była dla celów konsumpcyjnych, ale również pełniła ważną rolę społeczną i religijną. Kiedy kawia domowa trafiła do Europy, jako nowe zwierzątko o egzotycznych konotacjach zyskała status cennego okazu fauny i wkrótce stała się niezwykle modnym zwierzęciem hodowlanym wśród przedstawicieli wyższych sfer.

Ewolucję tę daje się zaobserwować na gruncie sztuki. „Naturalnym środowiskiem” dla kawii stają się przedstawienia o charakterze zoologicznym i naukowym. Początkowo wizerunek świnki morskiej trafił na karty leksykonów, by stamtąd przedostać się do rozbudowanych kompozycji animalistycznych umożliwiających przedstawienie możliwie jak największego spektrum różnorodnych gatunków fauny. Perspektywa przyrodoznawcza, która włączyła świnkę do europejskiego bestiarium, wpłynęła znacząco na dalszy rozwój, już samodzielnych, wizerunków zwierzęcia. Rozpowszechniają się one najmocniej na przełomie XVII i XVIII wieku, szczególnie wśród artystów związanych z kręgami dworskimi. Tworzone dla zamożnych kolekcjonerów przedstawienia te były wyrazem swoistej mody na ten właśnie temat animalistyczny, o czym świadczą wzajemne zapożyczenia wśród malarzy podejmujących omawiany motyw.
Ścieżka dobra i zła w malarstwie nowohiszpańskim XVIII wieku
Authors: Von Wobeser Gisela
Published: July 2023

Kościół katolicki od czasów średniowiecznych jako element propagandy wykorzystywał obrazy. Proces ten został zintensyfikowany w okresie po soborze trydenckim. W swej oficjalnej nauce poprzez obrazy Kościół propagował m.in. ideę istnienia dwóch ścieżek, którymi może podążać człowiek: drogi dobra i drogi zła. Wybór należał do wiernych, to oni sami powinni kształtować swoje postępowanie tak, by pozostawało w zgodzie z oficjalnymi naukami Kościoła. Oczywiście jako ścieżka wyboru wskazywana była „droga dobra”, była ona polecana pod względem etycznym i prowadziła do nieba. Nazywano ją „ścieżką cierni”, ponieważ oznaczała wyrzeczenie się ziemskich przyjemności, dóbr i doczesnych satysfakcji. Była to droga zaznaczona cierpieniem. Droga zła, na której przewodnikiem był demon, prowadziła do piekła. Nazywano ją „ścieżką róż”, ponieważ była przyjemna, pełna ziemskich przyjemności. Podążający nią mógł smakować rozrywek, prowadzić radosne życie i cieszyć się zmysłowymi przyjemnościami. Warto zastanowić się nad wpływem, jaki wywierały na odbiorców wymienione wyżej obrazy, a także teksty umoralniające. Bez wątpienia wiele osób przywiązywało ogromną wagę do modelu życia propagowanego wtedy przez Kościół. To dzięki nim mamy dostęp do informacji poprzez hagiografie, kroniki zakonne oraz procesy inkwizycyjne przeciwko samozwańczym świętym, mistykom i pustelnikom. Wielu z nich było osobami duchownymi, jak choćby Felipe Neri Alfaro – założyciel sanktuarium w Atotonilco, który wiódł życie skrajnie ascetyczne, czy brat Antonio Margil de Jesús, błogosławiony, proponowany jako kandydat do beatyfikacji. Było również wiele osób świeckich chcących podążać ścieżką cierni. Kimś takim był chociażby Francisco Lerín, bogaty kupiec, który wyzbył się dóbr materialnych, aby jako pustelnik poświęcić się budowie sanktuarium maryjnego w Pátzcuaro.

Dairy industry is a self-reliant India’s identity. The dairy sector in India has come a long way since the days of the White Revolution launched by late Prime Minister Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1965. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was established in 1965 to implement the Operation Flood program which aimed to make India self-sufficient in milk production. Today, India is the world’s largest milk producer, with milk production of about 221.06 million tonnes in 2021-2022. The dairy industry in India is not only an important source of income for millions of farmers and rural households, but it also plays a vital role in the country’s economy. It contributes to more than 4% of the country’s GDP and provides employment opportunities to millions of people, both directly and indirectly. The dairy sector in India also plays a critical role in ensuring food security for a large population and provides a source of animal protein for a large vegetarian population.
