Authors: Wu Zijing , Oktrova Mirela
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the study was to analyse the impact of virtual reality technologies on the emotional perception of contemporary art and determine how the integration of virtual reality changes traditional forms of artistic expression. The methodology was based on the analysis of the main areas of technology use in contemporary art and the investigation of practical examples. The paper discusses the basics of the influence of virtual reality on the emotional perception of art, emphasising how the immersive effect, interactivity, and audio-visual effects create new opportunities for artistic expression. The key role of interactivity in understanding art through virtual reality technologies, including personalisation of the artistic experience, collective interaction, the use of game elements and dynamic content, is considered. Practical examples of the introduction of technologies in traditional art, in particular, in museums, art projects, and exhibitions, are provided. The study analysed the cultural context and its role in integrating digital innovations into contemporary art, considering historical background, social aspects, economic factors, and ethical issues. The main results of the study included: virtual reality significantly enhances the emotional response of viewers through the immersive effect, creating a deeper emotional connection with the work of art. Interactivity allowed viewers to actively interact with art, making the experience more dynamic and personalised. The practical implementation of virtual reality technologies in museums, art projects, and exhibitions demonstrates new ways to interact with cultural heritage and works of art. The cultural context plays an important role in the integration of virtual reality, in particular, the historical, social, economic, and ethical aspects that determine the success of technology implementation in art. These results highlight the significant potential of VR to transform contemporary art, opening up new horizons for creativity and audience engagement, but also point to the need to take important economic and ethical aspects into consideration
Embracing the Nothingness of Death as a Form of Death Acceptance: a Study Based on Irvin Yalom’s “Staring at the Sun”
Authors: Botilca Cristina
Published: December 2024

This paper examines Irvin Yalom’s Staring at the Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death, focusing on how Yalom utilizes Epicurean philosophy to address and mitigate death anxiety. Central to Yalom’s approach are three Epicurean arguments: the mortality of the soul, the notion that after death there is nothing, and the equivalence between the state of non-existence before birth and after death. These arguments provide a framework for understanding and reducing the fear of death by emphasizing the finite nature of human existence. While this secular perspective offers a path to overcoming death anxiety, the paper also recognizes the significance of religious and spiritual beliefs that offer comfort and meaning to many. It argues that various approaches – whether philosophical or religious – serve as valuable tools for individuals to find peace with mortality and to embrace life more fully.
Illusion Theatres of Orhei in the Beginning of XX Century. History of their Construction and the Legislation in the Field of Cinematography
Authors: Ceastina Alla
Published: December 2024

Starting in 1910, the illusion theaters and other performance buildings appeared in Bessarabia, which later became quite widespread in all provinces. The National Archive Agency holds some documents on the consideration of the inquiry of the Orhei townspeople Shlema Gurevich and Froim Pagis for permission to open the first cinema in the center of Orhei town at the end of 1910. This cinema worked successfully in that town for about a half of year. However, on May 12, 1911, the so-called normal rules on cinematography No. 688 were adopted, also published in the Bessarabian Provincial Bulletin No. 74 of July 18 (31), 1912. The illusion theater of Pagis and Gurevich did not meet all the new standards. Despite anonymous complaints to the Bessarabian governor, in May 1913 a new illusion theater opened in Orhei, owned by Shlema Tomashin. He was allowed to hold theatrical and concert evenings in his own cinema. The National Archive Agency has preserved the projects and plans of the first illusion theatres in Orhei.

Published: December 2024

The NYSE is the world's biggest exchange market. Performance of the stock market has a big
impact on how wealthy the economy is and how people live their daily lives. The stock price index,
which serves as a benchmark for stock market performance, is a crucial tool for assessing each
nation's economic situation. As a result, a significant amount of study has been done to determine
how macroeconomic factors affect the performance of stock price indices. However, the literature
does not support a consistent conclusion, but rather offers contradictory results. This study's
objective is to dispel uncertainty in the literature by presenting fresh ideas that can improve
descriptions of and understandings of stock price index performance. The aim of this research is
to examine the New York Stock Exchange index for a span of four years that is between 2017 and
2021. Also, to examine stock price index performance and macroeconomics indicators. The NYSE
Composite Index (NYA), which measures stock price index performance over the Nyse period
2017 to 2021, serves as the study's dependent variable (DV), and the GDP, rate of interest, inflation
rate, and exchange rate serve as its independent variables (IVs). All of the companies listed and
operating on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), as represented by NYA, are the study's target
population. Secondary data were employed in this investigation. The DV data was acquired from
NYSE websites, whilst the IVs were taken from reliable sources like the World Bank and
International Money Fund. Regression analysis, descriptive statistics, and the reliability test were
the only data analysis techniques used in this study.

Authors: abolpour kh. , Shamsizadeh M.
Published: December 2024

The present study aimed at investigating the interior and closure operators which have been characterized by isotone Galois connections between posets/finite upper semilattices associated with an LB-valued general fuzzy automaton (for simplicity LBvalued GFA). In addition, the existence of isotone Galois connections between different pairs of posets/finite upper semlattices associated with a given LB-valued GFA was examined and explicated in detail. The properties of isotone Galois connections were also discussed under some conditions imposed on LB-valued GFA. Further, the decomposition of an LB-valued general fuzzy automaton was defined and a subautomaton of an LB-valued GFA was characterized in terms of its decomposition components. We have also demonstrated that the cardinality of set of all subautomata of an LB-valued general fuzzy automaton is not equal to sum of cardinalities of set of all subautomata of finite decomposition components.

La “reacción” como aproximación a los antagonismos sociales en la esfera pública digital
Authors: Carrizales González Carlos Alberto
Published: December 2024

En este texto se ofrecen una serie de reflexiones orientadas a recuperar la “reacción” como concepto para estudiar los antagonismos al progresismo contemporáneo en sus expresiones en línea (o fuera). Al enfocarse específicamente en aquellas expresiones que se oponen a fuerzas percibidas como progresistas, se hace la observación de que la literatura académica ha puesto el foco en ellas vinculándolas o categorizándolas como expresiones cercanas a la derecha o el conservadurismo. Ante esto, se considera que dicha clasificación puede cometer generalizaciones que ocultan matices al momento de estudiar tales oposiciones, sobre todo cuando se moviliza la interrogación de los sujetos individuales, ya sean políticos o líderes de opinión, hacia las bases sociales que sostienen estos tonos de debate; por lo que se propone la reacción como concepto para abrir el mapa ideológico y movilizar la comprensión de las ideas que circulan en ciertos sectores sociales.Partiendo de una caracterización de la esfera pública digital como espacio de circulación discursiva especialmente fructífero para el conflicto y las oposiciones, se sostiene la hipótesis de que es ahí donde se pueden observar claramente estos disensos a las acciones progresistas actuales. Bajo ese reconocimiento, se procede a definir la reacción como una corriente ideológica orientada hacia el anti-modernismo y la restauración en clave contemporánea de un orden perdido. Primero se le caracteriza como una postura cercana a la noción de contrarrevolución y a una visión pesimista de lo político, nociones que, se presume, están presentes en los antagonismos contemporáneos; en segundo lugar, se reconoce como concepto con baja determinación categórica y, por tanto, como una herramienta analítica que permita dar cuenta de los fundamentos discursivos y los comportamientos políticos conflictivos en los espacios digitales. ARK: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18535925/leawbvb01

Published: December 2024

Mycotoxins contamination in feed is a global safety concern. It induces significant economic losses to the poultry industry and poses substantial hazards to human health. The present study aimed to determine the levels of mycotoxin contamination in formulated and raw materials feeds used to grow broilers chicken in Dhamar Governorate, Yemen. A total of 36 samples were randomly collected from variety types of poultry feed used in poultry farms at Dhamar governorate. Methanol were used as organic solvents for mycotoxin extraction from solid feed samples. Quantitative, rapid ELISA test kits were used to detect levels of mycotoxins. The results revealed that, Aflatoxins, T-2 toxins, Ochratoxins A, and Zeralenone were detected in 36.11%, 83.33%, 22.22%, and 100% of the tested samples, with contamination levels of 0.37, 21.67, 0.8, and 14.04 ppb, respectively. The highest levels of aflatoxins and Ochratoxins were found in Ordinary Feed-I (1.00 and 3.47 ppb) and Ordinary feed-II (1.07 and 4.9 ppb) respectively. Similarly, the highest level of Zearalenone was detected in Ordinary feed-I (19.87 ppb). The highest levels of T-2 toxin were detected in the Primitive concentrate (49.23 ppb) and Final Concentrate (49.47 ppb). Mycotoxins were detected at relatively lower levels in the other feed types tested. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference (P value < 0.05) in mycotoxin levels between feed types. Ordinary Feeds were more contaminated compared to raw ingredient feeds. These findings highlight the threat posed by mycotoxins to poultry and public health in Dhamar governorate and point to the need to implement intervention measures to reduce these risks.

The outcomes of older adults with cancer are still dismal despite some progress within the last years. This is mainly due to comorbidities, overall frailty, and differences in disease biology. The better understanding of tumor biology and immunology has enabled the use of targeted therapies and immunotherapies that are potentially better tolerated than traditional chemotherapies. Several randomized trials were recently published that demonstrated a benefit of integrated onco-geriatric care including geriatric interventions on treatment-related toxicities and quality of life during cancer treatment of older adults. Furthermore, other pivotal trials adapted treatment intensities based on frailty. Despite these efforts, older and frail adults are still underrepresented in clinical trials. This leads to a major lack of an evidence-based standard of care in geriatric oncology. In this narrative review, we discuss pivotal trials, practical implications, under- and overtreatment, altered pharmacokinetics at older age, and future perspectives for geriatric oncology.

Authors: Bibi Maria , Tariq Omama
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This study sought to investigate the relationships among weight stigma, perceived body shape, and psychological distress in university students in different weight groups. It was hypothesized that there is likely to be a relationship between weight stigma, perceived body shape, and psychological distress. Perceived body shape and weight stigma are likely to positively predict psychological distress.
Methodology: This research adopted a cross-sectional research methodology. The sample included n=289 participants (n=128 male and n=161 female students) from two government universities in Pakistan. The consent form, demographic information sheet, Weight Self Stigma Questionnaire (WSSQ) (Wong et al., 2018), Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) (Cooper et al., 2006), and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) (Kessler, 2002) were used to collect information.
Findings: The research findings demonstrate that weight stigma and perceived body shape are positively correlated with psychological distress in university students in different weight groups. There was a mean difference in weight stigma, perceived body shape, and psychological distress among university students of varying weight groups. Perceived body shape is a perfect mediator between weight stigma and psychological distress. There was no gender difference in weight stigma, perceived body shape, or psychological distress.
Conclusion: The findings significantly impact the development of awareness campaigns that teach obese students healthy coping mechanisms and self-esteem-enhancing techniques. These campaigns additionally promote the sense of pride that overweight people experience using social support-based programs.

Published: December 2024

Cataracts or clouding of the lens is the leading cause of blindness in the world. Age and diabetes are major risk factors, and with an increasing aging and diabetic population, the burden of cataracts will grow. Since it is well established that oxidative damage plays a major role in the etiology of cataracts, antioxidants have been promoted as therapies to delay and/or prevent cataracts. Of interest is the potential for vitamin C based supplements in delaying the onset of cataracts post vitrectomy which occurs in up to 80% of patients within two years. The main goal of the study was to assess the role of vitamin C in development of cataract. The study was designed as case control study. This study was carried out at outpatient department (OPD) and in patient department of BIRDEM General Hospital, Bangladesh from July 2023 to December 2023 for a period of six (6) months. Patients presenting with cataract with age group of >50 yrs were included in study. Purposive sampling technique was used to get samples. Statistical analysis was performed by using window based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Mean age was 62.9 ± 6.8 years in case and 63.8 ± 7.1 years in control. There was no significant difference in age between case and control. Males were comparatively higher in number in case than in control. Among cases, 59.3% had nuclear type, 22.2% had posterior subcapsular, 11.1% had cortical and 7.4% had mature type of cataract. In case, maximum study subjects had low serum vitamin C level. Cataract patients had significantly lower level of serum vitamin C comparing control. There was inverse correlation of serum vitamin C with age but not statistically significant (r = -0.240 and p = 0.080). It is concluded that cataract patients had low level of serum vitamin C comparing controls. Further large scale study should be conducted. Multi centered study should be done.

The present study was planned to find out the demographic profile and risk factors of patients with retinal vein occlusion it was a prospective observational cross sectional study. The study was done in Ispahani Islamia Eye Institute and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 1st December 2021 to 31st May 2022. Detailed information was obtained in each cases according to protocol. Thorough ophthalmic examination of all patients were done including visual acuity, anterior segment evaluation by slitlamp-biomicroscopy, post dilated examination of fundus using indirect ophthalmoscopy. All basic lab investigations were studied as complete blood count, ESR, random blood suger, HbA1c, ECG, serum lipid profile, serum creatinine and other investigations (if necessary) like serum homocysteine levels. Collected data were classified, edited, coded and entered into the computer for statistical analysis by using SPSS version 23. Out of 200 patients, majority 147(73.5%) patients were diagnosed with BRVO, 44(22.0%) were diagnosed with CRVO and 9(4.5%) were diagnosed with HRVO. The commonest (33.5%) age group affected in RVO was 61-70 years. The HRVO and BRVO patients were predominantly in the 61–70 years of age group (66.7%) and (36.1%) respectively. Male patients were predominant 119(59.5%). Among male patients, 25(56.8%) had CRVO, 6(66.7%) had HRVO and 88(59.9%) had BRVO. Hypertension was significantly higher in the BRVO patients (64.6%) than CRVO (20.5%) and HRVO patients (44.4%). Glaucoma was significantly higher in the HRVO patients (33.3%) than CRVO (15.9%) and BRVO patients (6.8%). However, IHD, short axial length and hyper-omocysteinemia were not significantly associated with RVO. In conclusion, RVO is a significant cause of visual impairment, with BRVO being more common. The results of this study show that hyperten­sion and DM were strongly associated with BRVO and dyslipidemia, smoking and glaucoma were more strongly associated with CRVO in patients with RVO.

Decyzje w sprawie derogacji obu gazociągów Nord Stream jako ogniwo wielopoziomowego egzekwowania prawa unijnego
Authors:   Akademia Leona Koźmińskiego w Warszawie, Zawodziński Konrad
Published: December 2024

Ogłoszone w drugiej połowie maja 2020 r. decyzje niemieckiego regulatora, Bundesnetzagentur, dotyczące udzielenia derogacji spod unijnych zasad wspólnego rynku gazu dla Nord Stream oraz odmowy jej udzielenia dla Nord Stream 2 są następstwem przyjętej 17 kwietnia 2019 r. nowelizacji dyrektywy gazowej, przez co wpisują się w szerszy kontekst. Włączają się one w dyskurs nad obowiązywaniem unijnego reżimu regulacyjnego w czasie i przestrzeni, a także stanowią ważny przykład zastosowania złożonego pod względem proceduralnym i materialnoprawnym przypadku regulacji epizodycznej. Towarzyszą im postanowienia Sądu UE odrzucające skargi spółek Nord Stream na nowelizację dyrektywy gazowej oraz ogłoszenia zarządzeń (procedural orders) przez Trybunał Arbitrażowy, rozpatrujący skargę Nord Stream 2 AG na UE, współdeterminujące wielopoziomowe egzekwowanie prawa unijnego.
Rozwój zasady solidarności energetycznej w orzecznictwie Trybunału Sprawiedliwości
Authors: Faszcza Jakub
Published: December 2024

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zaprezentowanie na podstawie zebranego orzecznictwa rozwoju zasady solidarności energetycznej wyrażonej w art. 194 TFUE. Zasada ta została wprowadzona do prawa pierwotnego UE wraz z wejściem w życie Traktatu z Lizbony ponad dekadę temu. W tym okresie sądy unijne rzadko odnosiły się do tej zasady. Orzecznictwo jej dotyczące należy zatem uznać za mało obszerne. W efekcie artykuł ten sprowadza się do analizy dwóch spraw, na kanwie których doszło do poruszenia zasady solidarności energetycznej. Po pierwsze, sprawy, która rozstrzygnięcie znalazła w wyroku TSUE z dnia 20 grudnia 2017 r. w sprawie Eni SpA, Eni Gas & Power France SA, Uprigaz p. Premier minister, Ministre de l’Environnement, de l’Energie et de la Mer, sygn. C-226/16, a w której de facto kluczowe znaczenie ma Opinia Rzecznika Generalnego P. Mengozziego. Po drugie, analizy wyroku TSUE z dnia 20 września 2019 r. w sprawie OPAL, Rzeczpospolita Polska p. Komisji, sygn. T-883/16. Analiza obu spraw wykazała, że na podstawie ww. orzeczeń nadany został dopiero początkowy kształt znaczenia zasady solidarności energetycznej. Wciąż istnieje dużo niewiadomych. Ponadto autor w podsumowaniu niniejszego tekstu wskazuje na sprawy, które aktualnie toczą się przed TSUE i mogą mieć znaczenie w kontekście dalszego jej rozwoju. Niestety ich szczegółowa analiza na tym etapie nie jest możliwa, z uwagi na fakt, że wyroki w tych sprawach jeszcze nie zapadły.
Analyzing Heterophony
Authors: De Souza Jonathan
Published: December 2024

Heterophony—where multiple parts independently develop the same material—can challenge theories of texture. Psychological research on auditory streaming supports a theoretical model of texture created by David Huron. His texture space has two dimensions: onset synchrony and semblant motion. Heterophony would theoretically combine low onset synchrony with high semblant motion. However, I argue that some analytical methods cannot detect this combination and propose a new, less biased technique. I use this model to analyze performances from the Chinese Jiangnan sizhu tradition, where players improvise embellishments on a mother tune. Ultimately, I call for further theory and analysis of musical texture across diverse genres.
