Authors: Fallahzadeh Hossein , Momayyezi Mahdieh , Sadeghi Nasrin
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Head and neck cancer is one of the most important cancers with low survival. This study was designed to evaluate the one-year survival of patients with head and neck cancer and related demographic factors.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional study that reviewed the records of the patients with head and neck cancer (193 patients) in 2007-2013. In this study, Kaplan-Meyer method and Cox multiple regression were used to analyze the data. In this study, the information obtained by Excel and Stata 16 software was analyzed.
Results: The results showed 117 (60.6%) patients were male and 76 (39.4%) were female. The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 62.51± 7.76. Three, six and 12-month survivals were 66.3%, 40.5% and 11.1%, respectively. The results showed that only the age of the patients had a significant relationship with the survival of patients up to one year (HR=65.13, CI= 4.52-41.19).
Conclusion: One-year survival of patients with head and neck cancer in Yazd City is low and the elderly usually have a lower survival than young people.

Significant transformations in postmodern society determine the need to form a space of digital communications and the involvement of information and communication technologies. Such trends make significant demands on various categories of professionals, including managers in the field of tourism. The aim of this research is to study the psychological peculiarities of morality in the representatives of digital Generations Y and Z in the field of tourism. In accordance with the aim, we paid attention to the study of such components of moral regulation as ethics attitude, moral foundations, justice sensitivity and moral disengagement. The research involved 200 participants being represented by volunteers from five regions of Ukraine, including 100 respondents in the age of 25-30 who formed part of the Generation Y group; the other 100 participants in the age of 18-23 formed the Generation Z group. The results show that millennials are more idealistic. The intercrossing of the factors of idealism and relativism allows us to characterize millennials as situationalists, and centennials as subjectivists. It is ascertained that millennials are characterised by such important moral foundations for judgments as “Faithfulness”, “Purity”, which is reflected in the greater importance of “Ethics of community”. At the same time, it was found that centennials place more emphasis on the moral foundations of care and justice, and as a result, they are more committed to the “Ethics of autonomy” and “Progressivism”. The research confirmed the uniqueness and specificity of the moral regulation of different digital generations of representatives of the tourism industry.
ILHA DE PAQUETÁ E BAIXADA FLUMINENSE
Authors: Frazão Idemburgo
Published: November 2022

Em meio às discussões sobre as identidades no mundo contemporâneo, que têm em autores como Zygmunt Bauman, Stuart Hall e Benedict Anderson como alguns dos principais, refletir sobre a relação dos lugares com os indivíduos contribui, também, para que se desconstrua a noção de nacionalidade como é tratada tradicionalmente, pelos europeus. Utilizando como questão central a problemática da topofilia, como a estudou o geógrafo humanista Yi-fu Tuan, este artigo reflete sobre as relações de afinidades identitárias entre a Ilha de Paquetá e a Baixada Fluminense, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, apresentando elementos, extraídos de escritos de diversa natureza, que comprovam a presença da “topofilia” (da “geo-afetividade”) e que a Ilha de Paquetá já pertenceu à Baixada Fluminense. Trata-se de um estudo preliminar que traz à tona questões interdisciplinares inerentes aos dois lugares citados, no que diz respeito às relações topofílicas.

Estudos orientados ao uso de recursos públicos, investimentos e manutenção de equipamentos voltados ao bem-estar social são de grande relevância para regiões urbanas carentes do amparo do poder público, devido os inúmeros problemas socioambientais desencadeados pela ausência de infraestrutura básica. Pesquisas dessa natureza podem ser bem-sucedidas a partir da aplicação de técnicas de geoprocessamento. Assim, tem-se como objetivo elaborar o Índice de Adequação Habitacional (IAH), por meio da análise de variáveis do âmbito sanitário e ambiental para a Região Metropolitana de Sorocaba (RMS), utilizando-se Sistema de Informação Geográfica em conjunto com a Análise Hierárquica do Processo (AHP). Desta forma, por meio da elaboração do IAH constatou a ocorrência de áreas com adequabilidade muito alta (25,12%), alta (52,77%) e baixa (0,71%) na RMS. Ademais, verificou-se que a área urbana possui melhores condições de acesso a infraestrutura básica quando comparado às áreas rurais, interferindo na qualidade de vida dessa população. Por fim, a pesquisa conseguiu demonstrar que a metodologia aplicada se mostrou satisfatória para representar a realidade socioambiental da RMS.
La responsabilidad del Presidente : razones para una reforma constitucional
Authors: Eguiguren Francisco
Published: November 2022

En el Perú, los delitos y abusos del poder cometidos por el Presidente de la República difícilmente pueden ser sancionados, pues la Constitución no permite que se le acuse y exija responsabilidad penal ni constitucional durante el ejercicio de su mandato. Desde mediados del siglo XIX, nuestras cartas políticas han mantenido un listado cerrado y muy restrictivo de supuestos que habilitan tal acusasión y ello ha impedido esta posibilidad para un conjunto importante y grave de delitos e infracciones constitucionales coemtidos durante el ejercicio de la función. Con ello se favorece la arbitrariedad y se propicia la impunidad. Ante este panorama, Francisco Eguiguren Praeli analiza el tratamiento dado a la responsabilidad pena y constitucional del Presidente del Perú y formula interesantes propuestas para la reforma del régimen vigente.

Objective: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are two species known to settle on the skin of humans. Demodex mite infections are called demodicosis. Demodicosis, which is usually asymptomatic, is known to cause some skin diseases as a result of an imbalance in immune system mechanisms This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between Demodex spp. infestations and clinical signs, such as immunodeficiency, rosacea, blepharitis and facial itching, facial flushing, facial tenderness, facial rash, and sunburn.Methods: A total of 350 patients, 178 of whom were immunosuppressed and 172 who were immunocompetent, were included in the study. Samples were taken from the nose, chin, and forehead areas, using the standard superficial skin biopsy method and were examined under a microscope.Results: Demodex spp. was detected in 224 of the 350 patients, including 144 (80.90%) of the 178 immunosuppressed patients and 88 (51.16%) of the 172 immunocompetent patients included in the study. The difference between Demodex spp. positivity in the immunosuppressed patients and positivity in the immunocompetent patients was statistically significant. In addition, a relationship was found between Demodex spp. and some clinical symptoms.Conclusion: Demodex spp. proceed a health problem in rosacea and immunosuppressed patients. It was concluded that Demodex spp. should definitely be considered in cases of facial sensitivity, facial rash, and facial flushing in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients, especially in the presence of sunburn in immunosuppressed patients, which was revealed by this study.

Machine learning models can be used as clinical decision support systems for early diagnosis and treatment.
Effect of Sodium Fluorescein Use on Surgical Outcomes and Survival in Cases with High Graded Glial Tumor : A retrospective study
Authors: TUNÇKALE Tamer , ÇALIŞKAN Tezcan
Published: November 2022

Objective: The most effective factor on malignant glioma (MGs) treatment affecting overall survival is the extent of resection. The use of sodium fluorescein (FL) staining in order to increase the amount of resection, is applied more effectively and safely at lower doses with the aid of 560nm filtered surgical microscopes. Our aim was to investigate the effects of the use of FL in MGs surgery on the gross total resection rate (GTR), duration of surgery, length of hospital stays, and survival time.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 17 patients whose histopathological evaluations were reported as MGs and operated under surgical white light (Group 1), and 23 patients who were operated under FL560 module surgical microscope (Group 2) with a low dose of (3mg/kg body weight) FL dye. The blood loss in the course of surgery, GTR, surgical time, and hospital stay were compared for both groups with the student-t-test. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the survival time analysis.Results: GTR rates were found to be 82.3% for patients operated under surgical white light, and the percentage for FL-utilized patients was 91.3%. There was no significant difference in blood loss or hospital stay between the two groups; however, the surgical time for FL-utilized patients was found to be significantly low in comparison to the other group. The overall survival time for patients who were operated under surgical white light was found to be 64 weeks (448 ± 64 days) while it was determined as 84.7 weeks (593±55 days) for patients operated with the use of FL, however, the difference between them was not found out to be statistically significant. The use of FL enabled the surgeon to determine the cortical incision area in 13 cases, where the location of the tumor was close to the cortex.Conclusions: While the use of FL shortens the surgical time in contrast-enhancing MGs, it increases the GTR rate. FL also functions well with the determination of the location of the surgical site for tumors close to the cortex.

Published: November 2022

The paper investigates mainly the financial aspects of the Arctic energy projects, as well as the strategic analysis of Russo-Chinese interest in the region. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to review the increasing interdependence of the relevant policies of the two countries and the growing Chinese involvement in Russian LNG megaprojects. China-Russia economic and political relationships have many facets, and collaboration in the LNG area is a vivid example of how cooperation between the two nations is built. While Beijing was interested in supplies from the northern neighbor for decades, the economic relationship strengthened when China included Russian LNG projects in the BRI. The project finance framework was chosen to analyze the ongoing Sino-Russian efforts to deliver Yamal LNG and Arctic LNG 2 integrated plants. According to the framework, four areas, namely equity, debt, contracts, and offtakes, are shaped by the efforts of China and Russia. While cooperation in some areas is seamless and mutually beneficial, the results in other ones are less straightforward.
From Historical Archetype to Storytelling Variant, A Study on Developing Contents of Vlad Ţepeş
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Kim Jeong Hwan
Published: November 2022

Dracula, created in 1897 by Bram Stoker, is a fictional character born based on the legendary figure of Valahia(Walachia) in the 15th century, Vlad Ţepeş, the lord of medieval Romania, and the vampire myth that prevailed throughout Europe in the 19th century. Vlad Ţepeş, a historical real person and cultural archetype, goes through the first transformation process of a novel in the realm of literature, and then spreads around the world through three-dimensional complex arts such as plays and films. And in modern time, thanks to the supply and spread of the internet, it has been expanded and reproduced in accordance with popularization codes of culture such as animation, webtoon, game, and storytelling variants of virtual media. The historical prototype ‘Vlad Ţepeş’ and the cultural content prototype ‘Dracula’ have a completely different concept of otherness(the other) through the fictitious process of novels and films. If Ţepeş is located in the same historical identity defined by awareness, consciousness, and consistency, the otherness of Ţepeş, that is, Dracula, is an existence that is not captured by this consistency, implying the otherness as a supernatural spirituality(eternal life) like a vampire born in the Victorian era. Traditional genres such as novels, movies, and musicals, as well as cartoons and animations based on digital content, games and virtual media also utilize Dracula and its progenitor, Vlad Ţepeş, as the storytelling source of OSMU(One Source Multi Use). Dracula, a fictional entity, has become a legend and a modern myth in the world beyond the borders of Romania, regardless of the intentions of his prototype, Vlad Ţepeş, and is constantly being transformed and created in response to the demands of time and space and the development of internet and virtual media technology.
Territorial Recovery of Hungary through the 2nd Vienna Award: 1940. 8. 30.
Authors:   East European and Balkan Institute, Kim Ji Young
Published: November 2022

In the Second World War, Hungary was an ally of Germany, joining the Axis powers in August 1940 under the Second Vienna Award. Joachim von Ribbentrop, Germany’s Foreign Minister, and Italian Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano met with Hungarian and Romanian representatives in the Belvedere Palace in Vienna. There they began negotiations on Hungary recovering the territory of Transylvania that it had ceded to Romania as a consequence of World War One. The confrontation between Hungary and Romania meant that Hungary’s demands were not accepted. As a result of Ribbentrop and Ciano’s mediation, the two sides agreed to redraw the boundaries of the territory to account for population composition and historical claims to sovereignty. Hungary failed to realize their ambitious dream of recovering the entire territory of Transylvania, and they had to be content with taking back the region of Székelys, where Hungarians were in the majority. Romania’s sovereignty over the rest of Transylvania, which Romania had taken control over post-World War One, was recognized. However, this deal would ultimately hurt Hungary. Because it was brokered by Germany and Italy, Hungary was treated as a defeated state in the post-World War Two peace negotiations.

Analysis on Effects of Curriculum and Assessments on Professional Autonomy of Secondary History Teachers in UK and US
Authors:   Korean Comparative Education Society, Choi Soojung
Published: November 2022

The research aimed to compare how the differences in curriculum and assessment frameworks of the U.K. and the U.S. affect the professional autonomy of secondary history teachers. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with ten teachers, and the collected data was analyzed through thematic coding. The analyses showed that there are many contrasting influences on teacher autonomy on everyday school practices, specifically, decision-making, self-examination and modification, and the integration of personal experiences and values. Although the history curriculum of England (the U.K.) is broad without much specification of the contents and standards, teachers had limited autonomy as they had a strong responsibility to prepare students for national examination. On the contrary, despite the fact that Massachusetts’ (the U.S.) history curriculum is much more detailed, teachers are able to practice greater autonomy because they are exempt from the duty to prepare students for a state assessment. Therefore, the research demonstrates that the curriculum alone cannot grant increased autonomy for teachers, for it is not the curriculum that sets the agenda for teaching but high-stakes assessments.

Published: November 2022

Indonesia specifically addresses the refugee issues in Presidential Regulation No. 125 of 2016 on the Handling of Foreign Refugees. The handling of refugee status in Indonesia is handed over to UNHCR considering that Indonesia is not a party to the 1951 Refugee Convention or the 1967 Protocol. Besides Indonesia, Australia and Thailand are also not parties to the convention. Therefore it is important to see a comparative study of policies between countries. This study also aims to find out whether Presidential Decree No. 125 of 2016 can resolve the problem of refugees in Indonesia and what is the policy comparison between Indonesia, Australia and Thailand. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory approach. The results of the study concluded that Presidential Decree No. 125 of 2016 has adequately accommodated arrangements for overseas refugees, but there are still several provisions that have multiple interpretations, such as arrangements regarding "foreigners", Rudenim arrangements, and the principle of "local integration" that has not been regulated. The implementation in Australia is firmer compared to Thailand and Indonesia. Australia itself emphasizes forced repatriation if it is detected as threatening the country's sovereignty. Meanwhile, Thailand provides access to foreign refugees to submit applications so they can live and settle.

Authors: Muyasaroh  , Herlina
Published: November 2022

The Government of Indonesia builds toll roads in many regions of Indonesia, including 119 km of the Indralaya - Muara Enim intersection, to accelerate barrier-free connectivity for the community. This study analyzes the concept of environmental change from the impact of the construction of the toll road on the Indralaya community. This study uses a qualitative approach with an inductive research type. The data were analyzed using NVivo 12 Plus. The results showed that environmental change must be based on the principle of mutual benefit. The construction of toll roads must involve the local community to create conducive conditions. Negative impacts on the environment in the development process must be minimized through dialogue and contributions from the surrounding community. The construction of the Indarala – Muara Enim toll road in general has met the requirements of ushul al khamsah or basic needs of maqashid sharia. However, there is still a lack of anticipation from this implementation project because there are still complaints from the public, which can be read from respondents' responses. Environmental changes related to the construction of toll roads must use a structured and orderly concept. In this case, the concept of environmental change must be bound by the rules and legislation to anticipate and provide solutions to the negative impacts that occur in the form of minimal compensation for land or buildings affected by the project at a reasonable price, dealing with contaminated or polluted air and noise quickly and responsively.
Can We be Optimistic about Carbon Neutrality Goal of China? A Research about The Mediating Role of Production Automation Based on Carbon Kuznets Curve
Authors: Su Panda , Wang Yu
Published: November 2022

As China put forward its “carbon emissions peak and carbon neutrality” goals, how to achieve carbon reduction had become a key for China’s goal. The manufacturing industry is an important source of carbon dioxide emissions. For a manufacturing country like China, adjustments in various aspects of the industry would have a huge impact on carbon emissions. As an important reform of contemporary production mode, the process of production automation in China will inevitably affect China's carbon emissions. Therefore, the analysis of the impact of production automation on carbon dioxide emissions was an important basis for judging the future carbon reduction in China. Refer to the traditional study of carbon Kuznets curve, this paper analyzed the impact of average wage on production automation and the role of production automation in the carbon Kuznets curve(CKC). This paper proposed that production automation plays a mediating role in the process of carbon emissions, and gives a verification model of the mediating role. By analyzing the relationship between average wage and production automation process, the U-shaped curve relationship between them was verified. By examining the relationship between carbon dioxide emission data and production automation industry in China, we verified that production automation plays a partial mediating role in the change of carbon Kuznets curve. Combined with the analysis of the two parts, this paper believed that with the continuous development of China's intelligent manufacturing industry, China's carbon reduction prospects were more optimistic, and there was a good industrial foundation to achieve the “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” goals. Finally, this paper proposes policy suggestions as increase research investment in production automation, help promote the application of production automation, encourage the research and application development of low-carbon technology, especially encourage modular design, so as to give full play to the role of production automation in the process of carbon neutrality in China.

Tuberculosis (TB) is still a worldwide major health problem and models using non-human primates (NHP) provide the most relevant approach for vaccine testing. In this study we have analysed CT images collected from cynomolgus and rhesus macaques, following exposure to ultra-low dose Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) aerosols, and monitored them for 16 weeks to evaluate the impact of prior intradermal or inhaled BCG-vaccination on the progression of lung disease. All lesions found (2553) have been classified according to their size and we have subclassified small micronodules (<4.4 mm) as ‘isolated’, or as ‘daughter’ when they are in contact with consolidation (described as lesions ≥ 4.5 mm). Our data links the higher capacity to contain Mtb infection in cynomolgus with the reduced incidence of daughter micronodules, thus avoiding the development of consolidated lesions and their consequent enlargement and evolution to cavitation. In the case of rhesus, intradermal vaccination has a higher capacity to reduce the formation of daughter. This study supports the ‘Bubble Model’ defined with the C3HBe/FeJ mice and proposes a new method to evaluate outcome in experimental models of TB in NHP based on CT images, which would fit a future machine learning approach to evaluate new vaccines.
The Higgs Trilinear Coupling and the Scale of New Physics for the SM-Axion-Seesaw-Higgs portal inflation (SMASH) Model
Authors: Das C.R. , Huitu Katri , Kärkkäinen Timo
Published: November 2022

In the extended scalar sector of the SMASH (Standard Model - Axion - Seesaw - Higgs portal inflation) framework, we conduct a phenomenological investigation of the observable effects. In a suitable region of the SMASH scalar parameter spaces, we resolve the vacuum metastability issue and discuss the one-loop correction to the triple Higgs coupling λHHH. The λHHH and SM Higgs quartic coupling λH corrections are found to be proportional to the threshold correction. A large λHHH correction (≳5%) implies vacuum instability in the model and thus limits the general class of theories that use threshold correction. We perform a full two-loop renormalization group analysis of the SMASH model.

Breastfeeding (BF) in the first 6 months of a child’s life with the addition of other foods until the age of 12–24 months is globally recognized as the “gold standard” for infant feeding. For children with cystic fibrosis (CF), it is particularly relevant that breast milk contains a wide range of protective factors against pathogenic bacteria colonization, thermolabile lipase, which facilitates fat digestion, and polysaccharides, which are essential for the trophism of colonocytes and the formation of normal gut microbiota. Objective. To study the effect of BF and its duration on the course of the disease, nutritional status of children with cystic fibrosis. Patients and methods. Questionnaire results on the duration of breastfeeding in 60 mothers of children with cystic fibrosis were analyzed, with further retrospective assessment of the severity of CF in these children. Results. The nutritional status of children who did not receive breast milk at both 1 and 3 years of age was lower than the mean age standards in contrast to patients who were breastfed; the number of bronchopulmonary exacerbations was significantly greater compared with children who received breast milk. The longer the duration of BF was, the later Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from the sputum of CF patients (r = 0.68, p < 0.005). Conclusion. Maintenance of BF leads to a milder course of the disease in later years, which becomes especially important for children with CF. Key words: cystic fibrosis, children, breastfeeding

Textos migrantes como referentes culturales en la construcción de la identidad
Authors: Álvarez Domínguez Marco Polo
Published: November 2022

La idea de Estado nación nos remite a un metarrelato construido a partir de una historia nacional en la que los referentes de construcción identitaria buscan dar cuenta de los procesos bajo los cuales se explican los orígenes, la historia y el sentido de determinada cultura. Esta noción obedece a un modelo político que buscaba la homogeneización social para lograr una gobernanza en el contexto del desarrollo de un capitalismo anclado a una idea de modernidad.
Las densidades del altépetl en la lucha por el territorio
Authors: Ochoa Flores Óscar
Published: November 2022

Entre los pueblos de lo que se conoce como Mesoamérica se encuentran ciertos elementos comunes que comparten y que desde su larguísima duración parecen mantenerse como constantes. El altépetl es un elemento cohesionador y delimitante al mismo tiempo porque en esta área “los lazos étnicos anudaron la cohesión social del grupo, pero el altépetl fue el piso que le dio territorialidad, definió sus fronteras y lo dotó de identidad con el lugar de origen”.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to a new approach has been introduced to academic studies on the use of artificial intelligence in human resources functions. In personnel selection/placement and team-building processes, finding the right person for the right job will be accomplished with the support of artificial intelligence.
Design/Methodology: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are one of the programming-based methods that provide effective solutions to problems where multiple inputs and multiple outputs are obtained. Although ANN was first used to measure the content analysis of numerical data and mathematical problems, it was later applied to measure the activities of social problems and projects. In this study, the verbal variables determined were converted into numerical expressions. In the next step, the ANN model created for analysis, using the transformed numerical expressions as input, the variable ids with the highest score were determined as output. The study was completed with the data visualizations made in the last stage.
Findings: With this study, a new approach has been introduced to academic studies on artificial intelligence in human resources functions. For example, in personnel selection/placement and team-building processes, processes will accelerate with artificial intelligence.
Limitations: There is no certain regulation for determining the general shape of artificial neural networks. The right network shape is accomplished through experience and case and error. However, ANNs can only work with numerical information. Therefore, variables must be converted to numeric data.
Originality/Value: Since the most crucial factor in the success of the projects is humans, selecting the human element with the help of artificial intelligence in the projects is examined.

Published: November 2022

Setting up and building a business is not an easy matter. Not a few who failed and eventually went bankrupt. It turns out that one of the reasons is due to lack of careful planning. One business model that is considered effective is the Business Model Canvas (BMC), which is a management strategy for planning business concepts, infrastructure and company finances and can be applied not only by start-up businesses, but also by existing businesses. But, unfortunately BMC is not widely known by SMEs players. Therefore, in this community service activity, socialization was carried out on the concept and application of BMC, with partners from the Sub-Department of Industry, Trade, Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises, East Jakarta City Administration, as well as participants who are SMEs in East Jakarta. The socialization used the classical method, namely in the form of an explanation from the resource person through a presentation on the BMC concept followed by application in the form of a simulation/joint practice. The output of this activity is in the form of articles published in the Jurnal Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Madani (JPMM) indexed by Sinta 3.
