Published: September 2022

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria are important for improving plant iron nutrition, but the interactions among inoculants, host plants and soil microorganisms have not been greatly explored. Rahnella aquatilis JZ-GX1 was applied to treat the increasingly serious iron deficiency chlorosis in Cinnamomum camphora, and the resulting improvement in chlorosis was determined by assessing the contents of chlorophyll, active iron, Fe2+ and antioxidant enzymes in leaves, the effects on the soil microbial community and the metabolism in the rhizosphere by high-throughput sequencing techniques and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS). The results showed that inoculation with JZ-GX1 significantly increased the chlorophyll content of C. camphora, which promoted the redistribution of active iron in roots and leaves, increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and thus reduced membrane damage in iron-deficient C. camphora caused by reactive oxygen species. According to genome prediction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS) analysis, the JZ-GX1 strain could secrete desferrioxamine (DFO), and the concentration of DFO in C. camphora rhizosphere was 21-fold higher than that in uninoculated soil. The exogenous application of DFO increased the SPAD and Fe2+ contents in leaves. In addition, the inoculant affected the fungal community structure and composition in the C. camphora rhizosphere soil and increased the abundances of specific taxa, such as Glomus, Mortierella, Trichoderma, and Penicillium. Therefore, R. aquatilis JZ-GX1 application promoted iron absorption in C. camphora trees by secreting DFO and alleviated iron deficiency chlorosis through interactions with the local fungal community.
Aberrant dynamic minimal spanning tree parameters within default mode network in patients with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Jia Huibin , Wu Xiangci , Wu Zhiyu , Wang Enguo
Published: September 2022

The altered functional connectivity (FC) level and its temporal characteristics within certain cortical networks, such as the default mode network (DMN), could provide a possible explanatory framework for Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In the current study, we hypothesized that the topographical organization along with its temporal dynamics of the autistic brain measured by temporal mean and variance of complex network measures, respectively, were significantly altered, which may further explain the autistic symptom severity in patients with ASD. To validate these hypotheses, the precise FCs between DMN regions at each time point were calculated using the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets from the Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange (ABIDE) project. Then, the minimal spanning tree (MST) technique was applied to construct a time-varying complex network of DMN. By analyzing the temporal mean and variance of MST parameters and their relationship with autistic symptom severity, we found that in persons with ASD, the information exchange efficiencies between cortical regions within DMN were significantly lower and more volatile compared with those in typical developing participants. Moreover, these alterations within DMN were closely associated with the autistic symptom severity of the ASD group.
Could practices of reduced consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic facilitate transformative change for sustainability? Experiences from Sweden and Ireland
Authors: Boström Magnus , Römmelmann Helena , Sandström Lina
Published: September 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic implied a disruption of several consumer practices, which offers an opportunity to explore experiences and possibilities to switch toward more sustainable lifestyles with reduced consumption. This article asks if there is long-term transformative potential toward more sustainable and climate friendly consumption practices embedded in these new experiences. By the use of qualitative interviews, the article explores learning experiences gained by “mainstream” consumers in Sweden and Ireland. A theoretical framework consisting of five themes, also related to previous COVID-19 research, guide the analysis of empirical findings: 1) desired objects; 2) confirmation of social relations by non- or alternative consumption; 3) temporal and spatial aspects; 4) de-normalization of mass consumption; 5) new competences and social support. Findings suggest that the long-term lifestyle transformation possibilities are not vast, but neither are they insignificant. Various positive experiences, with implications for reduced/alternative consumption, can be stored in collective memories even if several consumer practices bounce back to “normal” after the pandemic. Based on the findings, the long-term transformative potential is discussed through the lenses of transformative learning, reflectivity, and adaptative abilities. The study contributes to the literature on sustainable and reduced consumption, including literature on degrowth, sufficiency, and downsizing.

Introduction

This study aims to investigated for the first time the role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in metastatic-hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which has not been investigated previously.

Materials and methods

This was a prospective observational cohort study. MDSC subsets in peripheral blood samples were classified and evaluated by flow cytometry as early-stage MDSCs (e-MDSCs), polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs), and monocytic MDSCs (M-MDSCs). The prostate-specific antigen progression free survival (PSA–PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated to assess the prognostic value of each of the MDSC subsets. The immune cell dynamics and gene expression alteration were analyzed by single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) in a representative case.

Results

Thirty-one mHSPC patients and 11 healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. There were significantly more PMN/M-MDSCs in mHSPC patients than in HCs (p <0.05) before treatment, but the numbers became similar to those in HCs after treatment. Although there were no marked differences in the high and low ratios of e-MDSCs and M-MDSCs, patients with a high ratio of PMN-MDSCs (≥0.30%) had a poorer PSA–PFS and OS than those with a low ratio (<0.30%) (p <0.05). scRNA-seq showed that the expression of genes implicated in tumor progression was upregulated in a representative mHSPC case.

Conclusions

A high frequency of PMN-MDSCs correlated with poor prognosis in mHSPC patients. PMN-MDSCs and their highly expressed genes are potential novel therapeutic targets for mHSPC.

Published: September 2022

Ensuring adequate levels of training and recovery to maximize player performance is critical; however, there are methodological challenges in designing a periodized training program for soccer teams. This study aims to describe and characterize the daily and weekly external load in an amateur soccer team and based on the weighting factors determined by the match reference, compare the external loads between playing positions. Twenty-four amateur soccer players (22.3 ± 1.7 years) were monitored using a global positioning system. Data collected comprises 19 competitive microcycles with a standard structure composed of 3 training sessions (matchday-5, matchday-3, and matchday-2) and one match. Match-reference values were calculated as the mean of the five best values recorded during official matches. The results show, on matchday-5 session, the existence of significant differences between playing positions to relative total distance covered (p = 0.050), relative sprint distance (p = 0.001), relative moderate-intensity accelerations (p < 0.001), relative high-intensity accelerations (p = 0.003), relative moderate-intensity decelerations (p < 0.001), and relative high-intensity decelerations (p = 0.017). On matchday-3 session, there are significant differences to relative very high-speed running distance (p = 0.017) and relative moderate-intensity decelerations (p = 0.014). On matchday-2 session, there are significant differences to relative high-speed running distance (p = 0.025), relative very high-speed running distance (p = 0.008), and relative moderate-intensity decelerations (p < 0.001). Weekly significant differences are observed between the playing positions to relative moderate-intensity accelerations (p = 0.002), relative high-intensity accelerations (p < 0.001), and relative moderate-intensity decelerations (p < 0.001). The weekly load is characterized by a greater weighting on accelerations and decelerations, compared to distances at very-high speed and sprint. The training loads must respect a standard training model that contemplates the individualization of the physical demands of the match, for each playing position, as for each individual.
Machine Learning Tools and Platforms in Clinical Trial Outputs to Support Evidence-Based Health Informatics: A Rapid Review of the Literature
Authors: Christopoulou Stella C.
Published: September 2022

Background: The application of machine learning (ML) tools (MLTs) to support clinical trials outputs in evidence-based health informatics can be an effective, useful, feasible, and acceptable way to advance medical research and provide precision medicine. Methods: In this study, the author used the rapid review approach and snowballing methods. The review was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, COCHRANE LIBRARY, clinicaltrials.gov, Semantic Scholar, and the first six pages of Google Scholar from the 10 July–15 August 2022 period. Results: Here, 49 articles met the required criteria and were included in this review. Accordingly, 32 MLTs and platforms were identified in this study that applied the automatic extraction of knowledge from clinical trial outputs. Specifically, the initial use of automated tools resulted in modest to satisfactory time savings compared with the manual management. In addition, the evaluation of performance, functionality, usability, user interface, and system requirements also yielded positive results. Moreover, the evaluation of some tools in terms of acceptance, feasibility, precision, accuracy, efficiency, efficacy, and reliability was also positive. Conclusions: In summary, design based on the application of clinical trial results in ML is a promising approach to apply more reliable solutions. Future studies are needed to propose common standards for the assessment of MLTs and to clinically validate the performance in specific healthcare and technical domains.
Effects of One Night of Forced Wakefulness on Morning Resting Blood Pressure in Humans: The Role of Biological Sex and Weight Status
Authors: van Egmond Lieve T. , Xue Pei , Meth Elisa M. S. , Ilemosoglou Maria , Engström Joachim , Benedict Christian
Published: September 2022

Permanent night shift work is associated with adverse health effects, including elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypertension. Here, we examined the BP response to one night of forced wakefulness in a sitting position in a cohort without night shift work experience. According to a counterbalanced crossover design, 47 young adults with either obesity (N = 22; 10 women) or normal weight (N = 25; 11 women) participated in one night of sleep and one night of forced wakefulness under in-laboratory conditions. Resting ankle and brachial arterial BP were assessed in the morning, i.e., the time of the day when adverse cardiovascular events peak. After forced wakefulness, diastolic and mean arterial BP were ~4 mmHg higher at the ankle site and ~3 mmHg higher at the brachial site than after regular sleep (p < 0.05). The increase in BP following overnight forced wakefulness was more pronounced among men vs. women and more significant for diastolic BP at both sites among participants with normal weight vs. those with obesity. If confirmed in larger cohorts, including 24 h BP monitoring, people with occupations involving night shifts might benefit from regular BP monitoring. Particular attention should be paid to possible sex- and weight-specific effects of night shift work on BP.
Exact Solutions for the KMM System in (2+1)-Dimensions and Its Fractional Form with Beta-Derivative
Authors: Zhang Lihua , Shen Bo , Jiao Hongbing , Wang Gangwei , Wang Zhenli
Published: September 2022

Fractional calculus is useful in studying physical phenomena with memory effects. In this paper, the fractional KMM (FKMM) system with beta-derivative in (2+1)-dimensions was studied for the first time. It can model short-wave propagation in saturated ferromagnetic materials, which has many applications in the high-tech world, especially in microwave devices. Using the properties of beta-derivatives and a proper transformation, the FKMM system was initially changed into the KMM system, which is a (2+1)-dimensional generalization of the sine-Gordon equation. Lie symmetry analysis and the optimal system for the KMM system were investigated. Using the optimal system, we obtained eight (1+1)-dimensional reduction equations. Based on the reduction equations, new soliton solutions, oblique analytical solutions, rational function solutions and power series solutions for the KMM system and FKMM system were derived. Using the properties of beta-derivatives and another transformation, the FKMM system was changed into a system of ordinary differential equations. Based on the obtained system of ordinary differential equations, Jacobi elliptic function solutions and solitary wave solutions for the FKMM system were derived. For the KMM system, the results about Lie symmetries, optimal system, reduction equations, and oblique traveling wave solutions are new, since Lie symmetry analysis method has not been applied to such a system before. For the FKMM system, all of the exact solutions are new. The main novelty of the paper lies in the fact that beta-derivatives have been used to change fractional differential equations into classical differential equations. The technique can also be extended to other fractional differential equations.
Imperial Science in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Surman Jan
Published: September 2022

The history of imperial science has been a growing topic over recent decades. Overviews of the imperial history of science have rarely included the Russian, Habsburg, and German empires. The history of Central and Eastern Europe has embraced empire as an analytical and critical category only recently, having previously pursued national historiographies and romanticised versions of imperial pasts. This article highlights several key narratives of imperial sciences in Central and Eastern Europe that have appeared over the past twenty years, especially in anglophone literature. Interdependence between national and imperial institutions and biographies, the history of nature as an interplay of scales, and finally, the histories of imagining a path between imperialism and nationalism, demonstrate how the history of imperial science can become an important part of the discussion of Central European history from a global perspective, as well as how the history of science can be factored into the general history of this region. Finally, I argue that the imperial history of science can play an important role in re-thinking the post/decolonial history of Central and Eastern Europe, an issue that, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, has become the centre of intellectual attention.
Influence of the Pore Radius on the Penetration Depth of Inks in Binder Jetting—A Modification of the Washburn Equation
Authors: Lehmann Maja , Panzer Hannes , Kolb Cara G. , Zaeh Michael F.
Published: September 2022

In binder jetting (BJ), an ink is inserted layerwise into a powder bed to selectively bond the particles in the cross-section of a part. By predicting the penetration depth of the ink, the ideal layer thickness for BJ can be set. Each layer should be penetrated with ink. Insufficient penetration will result in a poor layer bond and a low strength of the part; over-penetration will impede a dimensionally accurate production, as the ink will leak from the sides of the part and unintentionally solidify the powder in these areas. The Washburn equation has been used for the calculation of the penetration depth in various fields, such as hydrology or with loose powders. However, a transfer to the BJ process is difficult due to the preferably compact powder bed and the fine particles. In more compact powder beds, the small radii with their greater capillary pressure and their distribution in the layer have a high influence on the penetration depth. This work shows an adaptation of the Washburn equation for powder beds in BJ and a new approach to determine the effective pore radius for calculating the penetration depth. A weighted pore radius was introduced, which accounts for the spatial distribution of the pores in the powder bed and the acting capillary pressure. The validation was performed with two different powders by experimentally simulating the BJ process through the infiltration of a drop into a powder bed. The weighted radius was used in the Washburn equation to calculate the penetration depth. The results were compared with those models from the literature and experimental data, and a good agreement between the calculation and the experiment was found.
Transdermal Absorption of Sclareol, an Active Ingredient in Clary Sage Oil: A Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Menopausal Symptoms
Authors: Matsumoto Yutaka , Horikawa Kazumasa
Published: September 2022

Clary sage oil is commonly used in complementary and alternative medicine to treat menopausal symptoms. However, whether sclareol, which is considered to have estrogen-like effects, can be absorbed transdermally remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we applied sclareol dissolved in jojoba oil to the dorsal skin of male Hos-HR-1 mice 30 min before blood sampling. We examined whether sclareol can be detected in the plasma because of transdermal absorption using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. The concentration of sclareol in plasma and liver samples calculated based on the measured sample concentration and the recovery rate was 0.36 ± 0.08 and 1.69 ± 0.32 ppm, respectively. Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between the plasma sclareol concentration and hepatic homogenate sclareol concentration. Our findings indicate that sclareol is absorbed transdermally and accumulates in the liver. Moreover, the lack of change in plasma blood urea nitrogen, aspartate aminotransferase, and alanine aminotransferase levels among the three groups indicates that there was no hepatic or renal damage due to transdermal absorption of sclareol in Hos-HR-1 mice. However, further validation in humans is required because the thickness of the dermis and the number of pores significantly differ between mice and humans.

Questions autour de la résurgence du modèle Ma Xiwu
Authors: Piquet Hélène
Published: September 2022

Depuis quelques années, les autorités judiciaires mettent en avant des juges modèles destinés à inspirer le travail des juges chinois contemporains. Ainsi, le juge Ma Xiwu 马 锡 五 , qui exerçait dans le Shan-gan-ning durant les années 1940 et 1950, ressurgit dans la mémoire collective. Il est notamment vanté par les autorités judiciaires pour sa méthode de résolution des affaires (Ma Xiwu shenpan fangshi 马 锡 五 身 审 判 方 式). Que signifie, pour les juges chinois du XXIe siècle, cet appel à un modèle issu d’une autre période ? Comment est perçu le «modèle Ma Xiwu » par les juristes chinois ? Telles sont les questions traitées dans cette étude.
Les graphies énigmatiques de l’impératrice Wu Zétiān 武則天
Authors: Bottero Françoise
Published: September 2022

Bien qu’elles notent des mots, les graphies introduites par l’impératrice Wu Zétiān à la fin du VIIe siècle font intervenir plusieurs modes de création graphique qui donnent l’impression qu’elles ne sont pas là pour remplacer des caractères d’usage courant. Leur structure graphique est en général utilisée pour accéder aux significations subtiles et connotations cosmologiques auxquelles elles sont censées renvoyer au-delà de la langue. L’exemple des caractères de Wu Zétiān permet de montrer que si les caractères chinois semblent se libérer de la langue pour transcrire de «pures» idées ou des vérités cachées, c’est parce qu’ils oscillent entre deux approches sémiotiques différentes. La nature de l’écriture chinoise, qui offre une notation syllabique (morphémique) à partir de constituants sémantiques, favorise cette double approche.
Debates about Fate in Early China
Authors: Raphals Lisa Ann
Published: September 2022

Debates on the nature of self, agency, and fate are central to the Chinese philosophical tradition. In some cases, debates about fate overlapped with debates about mantic practices (“divination”). I begin by identifying five major issues of the Chinese debates, with particular interest in their relevance to contemporary philosophical debates about determinism. I then turn to a more detailed account of the arguments about fate ascribed to Confucius, the Mohists, Mencius, Zhuangzi, Xunzi, and Wang Chong. The final section compares their views on fate to those of contemporary philosophers who take a compatibilist position on questions of determinism and free will.
Aperçu sur les biji ou les miscellanées du bouddhisme Chan
Authors: Zhang Chao
Published: September 2022

Dans la vaste littérature du bouddhisme chinois, les miscellanées de l’école du Chan (chanlin biji 禪 林 筆 記) sont restées jusqu’ici négligées par la recherche moderne en raison de leur quantité restreinte et de leur caractère marginal. Compilés par le clergé entre le XIIe et le XIVe siècle, ces recueils de notes brèves consignent une profusion d’anecdotes, de compositions versifiées et de références doctrinales de l’école du Chan à une même période et constituent un complément majeur de l’historiographie officielle de l’école. En Chine comme au Japon, cette tradition littéraire, caractérisée par ailleurs par son style vivant et savoureux, jouit d’une grande popularité à travers les siècles. L’exploration de cette documentation permettra de rénover nos connaissances sur l’histoire, la doctrine, l’institution et l’influence sociale de ce courant bouddhique à l’époque de la Chine pré-moderne. Le présent article fournit quelques résultats issus des études préliminaires des miscellanées du Chan et tente de formuler une première définition du genre à travers l’examen de ses textes fondamentaux – les Sept livres (Qibu shu 七 部 書).
Le paysage en mouvement chez Yuan Hongdao 袁 宏道 (1568-1610) : une vision inspirée par la phénoménologie bouddhique de l’école Rien-que-Conscience (Vijñaptimātra)
Authors: Ni Ping
Published: September 2022

Cet article expose en quoi la prise en compte de l’appartenance du célèbre écrivain de la fin de la dynastie des Ming, Yuan Hongdao 袁 宏 道 (1568-1610), à l’école phénoménologique bouddhique Rien-que-Conscience qui opère un retour à son époque, est nécessaire pour comprendre la spécificité de son écriture. En s’appuyant sur une analyse stylistique de quelques-uns de ses poèmes du paysage et en la mettant en regard avec les concepts bouddhiques et leurs traductions métaphoriques, il montre en quoi cette inspiration philosophique le conduit à une pratique poétique dont les caractéristiques peuvent être clairement distinguées de celles des écrits littéraires sur le paysage inspirés par l’école bouddhique de la vacuité. Il explore ainsi comment Yuan Hongdao met en oeuvre les approches de l’école Rien-que-Conscience non seulement dans l’usage d’images propres à cette école mais aussi dans son jeu subtil sur le langage qui traduit une vision du paysage en transformation constante, reflet de la production conditionnée des phénomènes.
Telling Famine Stories: The Wanli Emperor and the “Henan Famine” of 1594
Authors: Brook Timothy
Published: September 2022

Alors que, en 1594, le Henan risquait de basculer dans la famine, Yang Dongming, secrétaire au ministère de la Justice, demanda par un mémoire à l’empereur Wanli que soient prises des mesures exceptionnelles pour éviter que la disette qui affligeait la province ne se change en catastrophe de grande ampleur. Son mémoire eut un succès inattendu auprès de l’empereur, qui accorda à Yang le soutien qu’il réclamait. Ce succès était dû pour partie au fait que le mémoire était accompagné d’un album illustré dépeignant des scènes de famine, faisant appel à une rhétorique de la souffrance, de la menace et du secours, propre à convaincre Wanli qu’il devait agir. D’autres facteurs jouèrent aussi dans la décision, comme le souvenir encore très vif dans l’opinion de la famine exceptionnelle de 1587, que la cour gardait encore parfaitement en mémoire. Un troisième facteur fut le désir qu’avait Wanli d’asseoir la bonne réputation de sa favorite, Dame Zheng, en vue d’obtenir que le fils qu’il avait eu avec elle soit désigné comme prince héritier. Si les secours eurent l’effet escompté, il semble aussi que la famine ait été moins sévère que ne le redoutait Yang. La relation qu’entretinrent en ce cas la catastrophe et les secours prodigués fut moins déterminée par la gravité de la première que par les contextes politiques et rhétoriques qui motivaient les seconds.
Animals in Court

Published: September 2022

Les scènes de procès figurent en bonne place dans les épopées animalières. Cette remarque s’applique aussi bien aux récits du domaine européen qu’à leurs équivalents de la littérature chinoise traditionnelle. Cet article s’intéresse à deux confrontations judiciaires entre animaux : l’une, opposant l’hirondelle au moineau, nous est connue à travers deux versions de Dunhuang ; l’autre, un procès mettant aux prises le chat et la souris, nous a été transmise par de nombreuses versions datant des derniers siècles de la Chine impériale et d’après. La version longue du procès de l’hirondelle et du moineau a préservé ce qui se trouve être la description la plus détaillée d’un procès dans la Chine des Tang. La plupart des versions du procès de la souris contre le chat ont quant à elles pour cadre la cour infernale du roi Yama : ce dernier, sensible au premier abord aux plaintes de la souris envers la cruauté déraisonnable du chat, changera vite d’avis lorsqu’il apprendra l’étendue des dégâts que sont susceptibles de causer les rongeurs, et finira par ordonner au chat d’en exterminer autant qu’il le pourra. Les formes littéraires par lesquelles nous ont été transmises ces histoires vont des poèmes narratifs aux pastiches d’actes judiciaires en prose en passant par de longues chantefables. Nos remarques sur les nombreuses versions du procès opposant chat et souris sont illustrées par de larges extraits d’oeuvres, dont la traduction intégrale d’une plainte parodique en prose.
La mort par noyade dans la littérature géographique du haut Moyen Âge chinois

Alexis Lycas : Death by drowning in Early Medieval Chinese geographical writings

Drawing from an array of geographical texts composed between the Han and Tang, this article studies how the description of death by drowning is inscribed upon the space of a river basin, namely that of the Yangtze. Following a logic of spatial progression (from source to mouth), the case study proposed here will inquire first into specific social and cultural practices as expressed through drowning : filial piety and feminine virtue, local cults and river gods, transgenerational sociabilities, etc. From there, we will examine how the memory of drownings recorded in these texts – principally the Shuijing zhu 水 經 注 (Commentary on the Water Classic) and the Huayang guo zhi 華 陽 國 志 (Records of the Lands South of the Hua Mountains) – testifies to the evolution of the geographical genre over the formative years of the medieval period.

Peintures rouges (1960-1963) : le renouveau interrompu du guohua 國畫 dans la Chine maoïste
Authors: Yu Min
Published: September 2022

Les débats politiques et artistiques, qui rythment la vie artistique de 1957 à 1963, s’organisent entre deux positions inconciliables : la condamnation des

guohua 國 畫 (entendu ici comme «peintures de montagnes et eaux») au nom du réalisme qui est le mode d’expression de la peinture socialiste, ou sa défense au nom de son caractère national et des habitudes culturelles. La liste des oppositions et des incompatibilités entre conventions picturales occidentales et chinoises est sans cesse dressée. Celles-ci seront cependant dépassées quand les artistes, pour surmonter la double contrainte du réalisme et de la soumission politique, mettront en oeuvre une série de contournements qui rendront possible l’essor d’une nouvelle peinture chinoise. Les peintures dites «rouges» sont un des exemples les plus frappants de ce renouveau que, malheureusement, la Révolution culturelle balayera en l’accusant d’être «sauvage, bizarre, chaotique et noir» .
The Lives of Dakou in China: From Waste to Nostalgia
Authors: Amar Nathanel
Published: September 2022

1990s : dakou (打 口 ) CDs and tapes. Literally meaning “ cut” or “ gashed,” the term dakou refers to CDs and tapes illegally sold on the Chinese black market in the 1990s, which had been shipped to China from the West in order to recycle unsold CDs and tapes. To prevent them from being sold on the black market, these CDs and tapes were cut (打) on the edges (口) in order to render them useless. This did not take into account, however, that an audio disc is read from the center to the outer edge, so only the last track was lost. A large part of this musical waste was sold for a cheap price on the black market in large cities in China, in defiance of official censorship, since a lot of Western pop music was forbidden. This paper tackles the question of dakou nostalgia by the members of the “dakou generation” through a study of various accounts, as well as stories and articles that have been published in the past few years, shedding new light on this unprecedented phenomenon.
Produire et consommer le sang du Christ. Matérialité et christianisme en Chine contemporaine

Producing and Consuming the Blood of Christ among Chinese Protestants Today.

This article explores the ways in which five Chinese Christian denominations produce and consume the liquid presented as the ‘ blood of Christ’ in Nanping City (Fujian). It presents the various means of production and concerns about proper use that inform the Chinese Christians’ practices and discourses. The study shows that while the spread of Christianity in China relies on material objects, it operates not so much by promoting claims about the Christian God as by questioning the nature of things and beings.

COMPETITIVENESS AND REGIONAL DISPARITIES IN SLOVAKIA: SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS
Authors: Bednáriková Nikoleta
Published: September 2022

The transformation of Slovak society since 1989 is reflected in the
development of Slovak regions, whether in the economic, political, cultural
or social spheres. This change is taking place in each of the Slovak regions
in a different way and with a different intensity. Various reforms have been
adopted at the national level to help activate development activities in the
regions and thus strengthen Slovakia‘s position in a united Europe. The
concept of regional development covers the problems of political, economic,
social and environmental development of the regions. There are several
indicators used to compare the differences between regions, but in this paper,
we have focused on economic indicators. Almost all economic indicators,
as well as the functioning of the economies of most countries, have been
dramatically affected by the still ongoing pandemic COVID-19. The impact
of the pandemic on individual indicators is beginning to be quantifiable these
days, and the data that give us room to assess the situation and predict future
developments are available.
LONELINESS AS A NOVEL PUBLIC PROBLEM - OUTLINES TO CREATE AN "ANTI-LONELINESS" POLICY
Authors: Stančetić Veran
Published: September 2022

The purpose of this paper is to consider loneliness as a public (policy) problem and to review current "anti-loneliness" policies in Europe and the world, in order to offer guidelines for anti-loneliness policy in a particular area. The approach to this issue is based on methods characteristic for the public policy science. Firstly, the paper explains what qualifies some situation to be perceived as a public problem. It has been shown that loneliness throughout Europe and the world is a serious public problem and that various measures (policies) are taken against it. The paper presents current knowledge and experience on loneliness as a public problem. The final part of the paper analyzes the common elements of anti-loneliness and anti-isolation policies (worldwide) and offers guidelines for the development of anti-loneliness policy in areas where such policies have yet to be adopted.
Introduction to studies on late Sasanian protective armour. The Yarysh-Mardy helmet
Authors: KUBIK Adam
Published: September 2022

The article discusses a helmet found in 1968 in a mountainous village of Yarysh-Mardy situated on the river Argun in the north-eastern Caucasus. The helmet was often associated with the Golden Horde period, which according to the author seems highly unlikely. On the basis of a detailed comparative analysis, the author puts forward a thesis of dating the object to either the late-Sasanid or early-Islamic period, i.e. to late 6th- beginning of 8th c. AD. Specifically, it is suggested that the appearance of the helmet in the Caucasus may be attributed to the time of Byzantine-Sasanid conflicts taking place at the turn of 6th and 7th c. AD. Additionally, the article argues that in the late Sasanid period a new sub-type of helmets came into existence, namely the ones with straight spangs and ones with spiky rivets. Furthermore, it is proposed that the Yarysh-Mardy helmet bears certain correspondences to similar finds from Groningen and Bremen.

Polish Army in its organisation phase on the turn of 1944 and 1945 illustrated with an example of 4th Anti-aircraft Artillery Division and 8th Infantry Division
Authors: WOŁOSZ Paweł
Published: September 2022

In 1944, in line with the prepared plans of the extension of the Polish Army, the following military units were formed already in the course of military actions of World War II in the Siedlce area: the 8th Infantry Division, the 4th Anti-aircraft Artillery Division and the 1st Independent Mortar Brigade. Totally, the headcount of the formed tactical detachment was supposed to reach 15 thousand soldiers. Numerous organisational and logistic glitches could be seen in the formation stage of the military units mentioned above. They affected the quality of military service, leading to relaxation in the ranks of the Polish Army. Hostility of many lower rank servicemen (but not only them) towards Soviet officers, who joined the newlyorganised Polish Army, was an additional factor which made this situation even worse. Raising this issue, the Author sets it in the context of political and social changes taking place in Poland after the Polish Committee for National Liberation was established. He also refers to military discipline, which remains one of the key threads of this paper, and which actually posed a serious problem to the General Command of the Polish Army.

Incidencia del síndrome de Burnout y su relación con sobrepeso, sedentarismo y presión arterial elevada
Authors: Santaella Palma Luis Eduardo
Published: September 2022

El síndrome de Burnout implica una respuesta sostenida frente a agentes estresores crónicos en el trabajo, que suele manifestarse con agotamiento, cinismo y percepción de baja eficacia profesional. Como parte de los objetivos de la presente investigación se estableció determinar la incidencia de este síndrome y su relación con el sobrepeso, sedentarismo y la presión arterial elevada. Para la metodología se utilizó un enfoque cuantitativo, de corte transversal y alcance correlacional. La población de estudio estuvo constituida por 25 sujetos pertenecientes a una agencia misionera de Quito.  Se aplicó una encuesta sociodemográfica, el registro de presión arterial, el cálculo de Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC), el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ) versión corta y el Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS), versión española. Como parte de los resultados se obtuvo que el 12% de los sujetos presentaron resultados presuntivos de síndrome de Burnout (nivel alto en agotamiento, nivel alto en cinismo y nivel bajo en eficacia profesional). La asociación entre la presión arterial elevada y el síndrome de Burnout fue estadísticamente significativa (p=0,024). Las asociaciones entre síndrome de Burnout con: sedentarismo (p=0,166) y sobrepeso (p=0,132), no obtuvieron significancia estadística. La asociación entre el sexo fue estadísticamente significativa (p=0,024), con predominio en el sexo masculino. Se evidenció un nivel alto de agotamiento en 24%, un nivel alto de cinismo en 20% y un nivel bajo de eficacia profesional en 20% de los sujetos evaluados.
Transformación digital: propuesta metodológica para la automatización de procesos desde el enfoque del BPM
Authors: Granda Campoverde Roxana , Bermeo Valencia Christian
Published: September 2022

Hoy en día las organizaciones y de modo similar, las instituciones de educación superior, se enfrentan a diversos retos; entre los que se encuentra el de tener un modelo de gestión dinámico, flexible y sobre todo innovador. En consecuencia, se concibe de vital importancia la mejora y automatización de procesos bajo una metodología que genere mayores casos de éxito. Por lo tanto, este documento tiene el objetivo de presentar una propuesta metodológica desde el enfoque de la gestión de procesos de negocio (BPM por sus siglas en inglés), que se adapte a cualquier transformación digital que involucre la automatización de procesos de organizaciones de diferente tipología, tamaño y sector económico. Con la intención de comprobar la metodología se procedió a someter a una automatización a un proceso de una institución de educación superior del Ecuador. Los resultados mostraron que se logró una gestión eficiente, eficaz, dinámica, flexible y sobre todo innovadora al usar un BPMS; esto se debió a que se redujeron y en ciertos casos, se eliminaron los sobre-proceso, reprocesos, esfuerzos duplicados, el tiempo de espera y los desperdicios.
La extensión universitaria con sentido de responsabilidad social
Authors: Silva de Jesus Hernández Francisco das Chagas , De Jesus Ramón  Antonio
Published: September 2022

La extensión universitaria asume una función de práctica social en las casas de estudios superiores, ya que tiene como propósito el acto de educar. Además de promover herramientas para docentes, estudiantes y la comunidad externa, logrando así mantener sus conocimientos actualizados a través de formaciones continúas. De igual forma, la extensión universitaria desempeña un papel transcendental en la construcción de los ciudadanos para el nuevo modelo de sociedad. En este sentido, este artículo teórico tuvo como objetivo reflexionar sobre la extensión universitaria con sentido de responsabilidad social. Las experiencias de responsabilidad social universitaria deben relacionarse con la extensión como un acuerdo colectivo, de manera que se pueda establecer un diálogo dinámico entre la academia y el mismo entorno, desarrollando así el verdadero sentido de pertenencia que debe existir en el recinto estudiantil.
