ANÁLISE QUANTITATIVA
Authors: Costa Lisliê Johannsen , Medeiros Roberta Pinto
Published: December 2023

A análise quantitativa permite situar, quantificar e organizar elementos, envolve diversos parâmetros conforme o objeto de estudo, sendo a análise bibliométrica uma das mais conhecidas. A bibliometria é uma metodologia de técnica quantitativa e estatística. Diante disso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo principal demonstrar por meio de redes de citação a relação existente entre a arquivologia e a memória e suas inter-relações. Para isso, utilizou-se artigos depositados na Base de Dados Referencial de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação, que abrangem o período de 1990 a 2020. A metodologia é de caráter exploratória e descritiva e de abordagem qualiquantitativa, utilizando-se do método a bibliométrica para realizar a análise dos dados. Os dados coletados para esta análise foram as citações dos 23 artigos selecionados. Neste trabalho, foi utilizado o software Vosviewer. A diferença entre a tradicional bibliografia e a bibliometria é que esta utiliza mais métodos quantitativos do que aquela, que faz uso de métodos discursivos. A bibliometria é utilizada também para analisar o desenvolvimento científico de determinada área do conhecimento, como nesta pesquisa. Como resultados da pesquisa conclui-se que apesar da forte relação que existe entre arquivo e memória, as pesquisas ainda são restritas e estão mais interligadas à história e ao patrimônio do que à ciência dos arquivos.
Powrót /do/ Rousseau: Czy „porażka” emancypacji i „załamanie Dzieła”? Uwagi krytyczne do książki Pawła Pieniążka pt. „Jednostka, zło, historia w myśli Rousseau”
Authors: Kruszelnicki Michał
Published: December 2023

Tekst zawiera uwagi polemiczne do książki Pawła Pieniążka pt. Jednostka, zło, historia w myśli Rousseau (Łódź 2022). Podjęta zostaje próba dyskusji z Autorem nad interpretacją głównych dzieł Rousseau, ich najważniejszymi pojęciami i problemami teoretycznymi. Mowa jest zwłaszcza o Umowie społecznej, Emilu, Marzeniach samotnego wędrowca, Nowej Heloizie, lecz pojawiają się też istotne odniesienia do tzw. pierwszej i drugiej Rozprawy, Dialogów i Listów do Malesherbesa. Tam, gdzie Pieniążek widzi tylko dowody „porażki” ideałów emancypacyjnych Rousseau i „klęskę” jego dzieła, tam autor polemiki stara się pokazać, że istnieją alternatywne sposoby czytania tekstów Rousseau, pozwalające ochronić go przed tradycyjnym zarzutem, że nie zdołał on uzgodnić wspólnotowego i indywidualistycznego planu swojej myśli i pozostał rozdarty między dwoma sprzecznymi i wykluczającymi się wzajemnie ideałami: obywatela i samotnika.
Pro-Peace vs. Pro-War Conceptualizations in the Language of Hungarian Propaganda
Authors: Grygiel Marcin
Published: December 2023

The language of propaganda can be treated as a specialist language with its own specialized terminology. It is produced by groups of variously configured propaganda experts responsible for the creation of propaganda messages, placed at one end of the communication channel, together with its specific target audience that consumes these messages, situated at the other end of the communication channel. As a result of this specialized communication process, the language of propaganda is function-oriented and its focus is always put on the objectives that are to be achieved. These include shaping and manipulating public opinions. For these goals to be successful, the language of propaganda must be equipped with efficient and well-designed conceptualizations able to change and modify the way people think. Defined as such, the language of propaganda is not a purely linguistic construct, but a multimodal tool able to make use of the visual and audiovisual output as well. The interest in mental processes such as conceptualization lies at the very center of cognitive linguistics and the study of cognitive mechanisms responsible for various types of conceptualizations is of high priority in cognitively driven approaches to language. Another issue which makes cognitive linguistics suitable for this type of research in specialist languages is its long standing preference for multidisciplinary and multimodal phenomena. Applying the methodology of cognitive linguistics, the present paper aims at identifying and discussing the PRO-PEACE vs. PRO-WAR network of conceptualizations in the language of Hungarian propaganda, often compared in its mastery with Orwell’s newspeak or the Soviet propaganda machinery because of its power and influence. Hungary’s leading right-wing party, Fidesz-KDNP, has retained political control in Hungary ever since its landslide victory in the 2010 national elections and developed a powerful propaganda tool that is ideally customized to the culture-specific preferences of Hungarian voters. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, this research studies linguistic expressions shaping PRO-PEACE vs. PRO-WAR conceptualizations with their rich social, historical and cultural contexts.

Alignment in ASR and L1 Listeners’ Recognition of L2 Learner Speech: French EFL Learners & Dictation.Io
Authors: Chanethom Vincent , Henderson Alice
Published: December 2023

This study is an extension of Inceoglu et al.’s (2023) study on Google Voice Typing as a pronunciation learning tool. We used the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tool on the dictation.io website (Agarwal, 2022), and our participants were L2 English learners of a different L1, but similar proficiency level. Twelve L1 English listeners assessed the L2 English from four L1 French speakers in terms of intelligibility and comprehensibility, measured by word transcription and Likert scale ratings respectively. Their scores were compared to ASR output. The goal was to determine how accurate the tool is, and to what extent its accuracy correlates with human listeners. The results were generally consistent with those of Inceoglu et al. (2023), with few exceptions which we discuss in the current study.
Pronunciation Anxiety, Pronunciation-Related Views and Pronunciation Learning Actions of EMI and English Major Students
Authors: Gómez Lacabex Esther , Roothooft Hanne
Published: December 2023

The present study explored pronunciation views, learning actions and anxiety in two differentiated English learner groups: one group which was studying English in an engineering degree and another group enrolled in an English major degree. The results from a questionnaire and focus group sessions revealed that the groups share some views such as a wish to improve their English pronunciation and adherence to native pronunciation references as well as pronunciation learning actions such as watching series or talking to native speakers. However, we also observed significant differences between the groups as the English major students tended to view pronunciation learning as a discipline, while the engineering students saw it as a communicative skill. The English majors also exhibited more pronunciation anxiety, specifically fear of ridicule and worry of making mistakes. They also revealed more anxiety-related themes in the focus group discussions such as worry about their pronunciation, pronunciation shame or unease because they do not know how to pronounce a word or cannot understand. Finally, the English major group was also more demanding of lecturers’ accurate pronunciation. These results suggest that differences regarding English pronunciation anxiety between different learner profiles may need to be considered during their English language learning progress.

Published: December 2023

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo caracterizar la red hidrológica de la microcuenca del estero “Hondo” mediante la utilización de parámetros morfométricos y biofísicos, con la finalidad de analizar y predecir su comportamiento hidrodinámico, de manera que permita contribuir a planes de manejo ambiental y ser un aporte a la conservación y protección de las condiciones óptimas para su desarrollo. Se analizaron, tres parámetros de forma, dos de relieve, su red de drenaje y la fisiografía. Mientras que en las variables biofísicas se las calculó mediante procesamiento de información geoespacial ArcGIS identificando su temperatura, precipitación, textura del suelo, uso y cobertura del suelo, pendiente y taxonomía. Con los resultados obtenidos, su morfometría, la microcuenca presentó una forma oblonga o rectangular, una red de drenaje moderada, donde se concluye que su sistema hídrico no está propenso a presentar picos de crecidas, debido a la estabilidad de regímenes para su escurrimiento superficial. Sin embargo, al ser una cuenca joven y presentar una forma hipsométrica cóncava, es probable que experimente altos procesos erosivos en el futuro. Finalmente, en el componente biofísico se identificó que la textura del suelo es en su mayoría franco arenoso, con pendientes fuertes y escarpadas y una predominancia de los alfisoles cuya filtración de agua es baja, donde se concluye que la microcuenca podría presentar pérdida de la capa vegetativa por el arrastre de sedimentos.

Authors: Radovanović Mila , Mihić Ivana
Published: December 2023

U okviru roditeljskih uloga partneri ostvaruju poseban oblik saradnje – koroditeljstvo koji je usmeren na osmišljavanje, upravljanje i realizaciju zajedničke brige o deci. Kvalitet koroditeljskog odnosa značajan je za kvalitet roditeljstva, ali za i razvoj deteta, pre svega u domenu socio-emocionalnog razvoja, bihejvioralnih i relacijskih kompetencija deteta. Longitudinalne studije ukazuju da je kvalitet koroditeljskog odnosa prenatalno dobar prediktor ovog odnosa nakon rođenja deteta. U okviru srpskog govornog područja do sada nisu rađena istraživanja u oblasti koroditeljskih odnosa u prenatalnom periodu, te u skladu sa tim ne postoji adekvatan instrument procene. Uzimajući u obzir značaj istraživanja ove oblasti za razvoj teorije i prakse razvojne psihologije i psihologije porodice prepoznata je potreba za adaptacijom upitnika koji bi služio istraživačima i praktičarima. Cilj ovog rada je da se prikaže faktorska struktura i osnovne psihometrijske karakteristike adaptirane verzije instrumenta Snaga roditeljskog saveza (Parenting alliance measure, Abidin & Konold 1999) na uzorku budućih roditelja. Uzorak je činilo 342 ispitanika, odnosno 171 par koji očekuje prvo dete. Faktorskom analizom izolovana su tri faktora imenovana kao: međusobna podrška koroditelja, obostrana uključenost koroditelja i zajedničke vrednosti koroditelja. Kronbahova alfa za skalu u celini iznosi 0.95, dok za pojedinačne subskale iznosi: 0.89 za subskalu kvalitet međusobne podrške, .89 za subskalu kvalitet obostrane uključenosti roditelja i .77 za subskalu zajedničkih vrednosti koroditelja. Adaptirani upitnik je pokazao dobre metrijske karakteristike, čime je dobijen reprezentativan instrument za procenu prenatalne koroditeljske saradnje.

Published: December 2023

Aim: This study intends to assess the occurrence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) resistant pathogens among exotic pets from France (2017-2019).

Methods: Isolates were identified using MALDI-TOF-MS. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for 21 antimicrobials and was assayed by disk diffusion methods. Statistical analyses were carried out using GraphPad Prism® (version 9.4.1).

Results: Isolates (n = 2,100) recovered from samples of 10 small mammals (n = 1,555), 23 birds (n = 287), and 18 reptiles (n = 208) species were identified as Enterobacterales (n = 634), Pseudomonadaceae (n = 176), Pasteurellacea (n = 276), Staphylococcaceae (n = 563) , Streptococcaceae (n = 259), and Enterococcaceae (n = 186). Consistent high resistance rates were observed among diverse genera and/or species to beta-lactams, tetracyclines, and macrolides. Notably, a significant prevalence of MDR bacteria was identified, with 22.8% (n = 479/2,100, P < 0.05). Furthermore, 23.5% (P < 0.05) of these MDR bacteria displayed resistance to all tested antimicrobials: E. faecalis (n = 47/49; 95.0%), E. coli (n = 19/52; 36.5%), Klebsiella spp. (n = 12/32; 37.5%), S. epidermidis (n = 7/25; 28.0%), Streptococcus spp. (n = 6/68; 8.8%), Enterococcus spp. (n = 6/23; 26.0%), Staphylococcus spp. (n = 4/51; 7.8%), Lactococcus spp. (n = 4/8; 50.0%), Citrobacter spp. (n = 3/7; 42.8%), Raoultella spp. (n = 2/3; 66.6%), Serratia spp. (n = 1/9; 11.1%), Pasteurella spp. (n = 1/14; 7.1%), and S. xylosus (n = 1/28; 3.5%).

Conclusions: This study emphasizes exotic pets as an emergent reservoir of MDR bacteria, focusing on E. faecalis as a potential route of transmission of MDR bacteria to humans, other animal species and environment. Urgent measures, including the establishment of mandatory monitoring for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and the enforcement of restrictive antibiotic use policies in exotic pets, should be implemented to mitigate the risk of further spread and safeguard public and animal health.
MODELING OF TEMPERATURE GRADIENTS DURING THE INTERACTION OF LASER RADIATION WITH BIOLOGICAL TISSUE
Authors: Bataliya Bohdan , Tereshchenko Mykola
Published: December 2023

Modeling thermal gradients in biological tissues, when interacting with laser radiation, helps to understand how heat flows are distributed in the body and reflect heating zones. The main aspects of the simulation include the parameters of the laser source, such as the wavelength and power, the initial temperature conditions of the tissues, as well as the use of special numerical methods that help to optimally solve the heat conduction equations and visualize the obtained results. Temperature distribution in tissues plays an important role in determining the effectiveness and safety of laser treatment. This allows you to choose effective parameters of laser radiation and irradiation modes to achieve the desired result without negative consequences for the patient. However, it is important to consider that the actual behavior of tissues in response to laser radiation may be more complex due to the physiological characteristics of each person.Therefore, all models and calculations must take into account this feature and diversity and take into account safety regulations. Laser treatment should be carried out under the supervision of qualified specialists, in particular doctors who have relevant knowledge and experience in the field of medicine. This approach helps ensure the safety and effectiveness of laser procedures for patients. Modeling the distribution of tissue thermal gradients when interacting with laser radiation plays an important role in the development of modern medicine and scientific research and provides efficiency compared to the obtained experimental data. It helps to improve the understanding of thermal processes in biological tissues and to ensure the safety of patients receiving laser treatment. In this work, experiments were conducted on the effect of laser irradiation on biological tissue, as well as modeling of changes in temperature gradients during the effect of laser irradiation on biological tissue, using various models of heat and mass transfer, using the Matlab software environment. As a result of the modeling in this work, the patterns of changes in temperature gradients were obtained, which were compared with the experimentally obtained data, the errors of Pennes models and finite element methods, finite differences were analyzed, and conclusions were drawn.

Published: December 2023

Introduction. In practical dentistry, a significant number of various materials are used - for filling teeth, for implant restorative surgery, as well as materials for prosthetics. In this case, metals, dielectrics and their combinations are used. The article is devoted to the results of the study of electromagnetic properties of a group of dental materials - fixing cements, which belong to dielectric materials. Theoretical and experimental studies of EMC materials from the arsenal of maxillofacial reconstructive and restorative surgery were also conducted. Significant EMC deviations were detected in some materials. Scientific results of experimental studies and relevant recommendations are presented in a number of authors publications both in Ukraine and abroadMain purpose of this study. Usually, the orthopedic constructions and the fixation cement are in physical contact with both the patient's hard and soft tissues. Since dielectric materials at a human body temperature of 310K form their own electromagnetic radiation (EMR), it is important to ensure their electromagnetic compatibility - the coincidence of EMR with biological tissues adjacent to the implant to exclude the appearance of complications during their long-term use. A highly sensitive (10-14 W) microwave radiometric system was used for the measurements. In process of research, the five most commonly used cement samples in orthopedics were studied. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the radiative capacity of cement as a material widely used in dental practice and to evaluate their level of electromagnetic compatibility with contacting biological tissues.Conclusions. 1. In the process of experimental and computational studies, the emissivity coefficients βM of 5 cement samples were determined, which range from 0.13 to 0.63 units.1.2. The first three samples (№№ 3-5) have a high level of electromagnetic compatibility (60...98 %), samples (№№ 6, 7) show much less coincidence with the EMR of the human body.3. The results of the conducted research can be used by orthopedic specialists to select materials with greater electromagnetic compatibility.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o papel dos governos locais e regionais, assim como os aspectos limitadores na conservação das florestas da Amazônia Legal Brasileiras. Utilizou-se uma abordagem metodológica baseada em pesquisa qualitativa, conduzida por meio de um estudo de caso que incorporou algumas unidades de análise. A análise da pesquisa envolveu entrevistas com gestores de Secretárias Ambientais e órgãos de Controle Ambiental, além disso, a observação direta nos locais que foram realizadas as entrevistas in loco e análise documental. Os resultados indicam que os esforços dos governos ainda não são suficientes para combater a degradação das florestas. Também constatamos que a falta de cumprimento das leis de proteção ambiental é agravada pela falta de apoio dos gestores governamentais aos órgãos de controle ambiental. Por fim, existe uma gama de fatores que prejudicam o fortalecimento de ações de conservação das florestas, dentre eles a falta de fiscalização, a falta de recursos humanos, a falta de recursos financeiros, logística e infraestrutura.

O presente trabalho ocupa-se de verificar a existência de destinação de recursos exclusivamente para inovação pela Agência de Fomento do Estado do Tocantins, entre os anos de 2011 a 2020. Para isso, procedeu-se a análise textual de Relatórios de Gestão da Agência de Fomento do Estado do Tocantins no período proposto, com vistas a buscar registros de destinação de recursos para inovação, listar as linhas eventualmente encontradas e verificar se houve prospecção por novos recursos para inovação, no período proposto. Na análise dos Relatórios de Gestão, verificou-se que embora houvesse destinação de recursos para diversos segmentos empresariais, é escassa a destinação de verba específica para Inovação. Os únicos períodos – em dez anos analisados - em que há destinação de recursos são nos anos de 2011 (R$ 228 mil), 2017 (R$ 8 milhões) e 2018 (R$ 1,4 milhão). A única linha expressa em texto existente nos Relatórios de estão é a InovaCred, vinculada à Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (Finep). Conclui-se que, apesar da destinação constante de recursos para outras áreas, a reserva exclusiva de verba para Inovação é escassa nos períodos analisados à luz dos relatórios de gestão do órgão.

Published: December 2023

The advancement of technology has led to a shift in the automotive industry from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles. One of the key factors in modern vehicles is the communication between control devices and commands. This thesis presents a prototype of communication in the form of CAN BUS Protocol with CAN STANDARD SAE.J1939 for All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) using MRS Developers Studio software to control the CAN Bus system. This thesis discusses the operation of communication from the assembly of the ATV, the packing of a 72 V 25Ah battery as a power source for the vehicle, the layout of the wiring system for receiving/sending communication signals for the 3 CAN Bus control boxes, and programming with MRS Developers Studio software used in communication. The communication of the vehicle in the ATV consists of receiving/sending signals of switches, headlights, left turn signal, right turn signal, brake light, emergency light, horn, forward-reverse gear, and accelerator. The results of the operation of the CAN Bus Protocol found that the CAN Bus control box has only 6 input and output pins, making the communication that has both receiving and sending signals insufficient. Therefore, starting from the CAN Bus1 control box acts as a receiver of signals from the forward-reverse gear switch sent to the output of the CAN Bus3 control box, the CAN Bus1 control box acts as a receiver of all light signals sent to the output of the CAN Bus2 control box. The signal transmission between devices will send signals through the CAN HUB line to ensure stability and minimal interference. In addition, the communication between devices from testing the operation of various switches on and off up to 1000 times found that this communication does not cause errors, making this communication reliable and stable.
Renaming ‘Chemosensory’ Proteins (CSPs): Lipid/Nucleotide-Binding Proteins — Molecular Nomenclature, Structure, Expression, Function, Evolutionary Networks, Clinical Diseases and Associated Molecular Medicine
Authors: Liu Guoxia , Sun Botong , Fan Wei , Yue Shousong , He Qiuxia , Picimbon Jean-François
Published: December 2023

This is a brief critique of the functions—particularly olfactory functions—specified for the “Chemosensory Protein” (CSPs) molecule family. On the basis of these proteins’ presence in the sensory antennal lymph of locusts, odor chemosensory ligand binding functions have been hypothesized. According to this hypothesis, the entire protein molecule superfamily is referred to as “CSPs”. However, new information and developments in the field of CSP molecular research, such as the expression of CSP genes in the gut, brain, fat body, epidermis, and pheromone gland, as well as gene expression profiling from most early developmental stages—that is, CSP expression well in advance of the appearance of chemical sense nerve cells—strongly suggest that the protein molecule has other roles that are unrelated to chemosensing. Moreover, CSPs are found in bacterial microbial prokaryote organisms in addition to insects. Thus, we examine the molecule’s name, definition, RNA editing, protein structure, lipid binding properties, DNA interaction, and evolutionary characteristics in brief before referring to this protein family as “Chemosensory Proteins”. This article tries to compel and discuss the most recent information as a way to rename this protein family. Because of its highly conserved molecular distinctive feature (four adjacent cysteines), we propose renaming “CSPs” as “4CSPs” (4 Cysteines Soluble Proteins).

The palaeontological heritage of the Capo Vaticano – Monte Poro area (Vibo Valentia, Italy): research, protection, and management
Authors: Marra Antonella Cinzia , Somma Roberta , Guido Adriano
Published: December 2023

The Late Miocene successions of the Capo Vaticano-Monte Poro (Southern Italy) area, well exposed at Cessaniti – Cava Gentile, preserve a palaeontological record particularly relevant for phylogenetic studies and paleogeographic reconstructions as well as for the popular scientific divulgation and museology. The rich record of Sirenians highly contributed to the knowledge of phylogeny and intraspecific variability of Metaxytherium serresii. The exclusive terrestrial mammal association, having African and Greco-Iranian affinities, allows intriguing suggestions in the paleogeography of the Central Mediterranean. New taphonomic analyses on invertebrates and vertebrates, here presented, suggest that the good fossil preservation is due to the rapid burial of skeletons in a semipermeable mixture of sandy/muddy sediments which were quickly cemented. Late partial dissolution of the carbonate cement among particles made the fossils easy to extract from the sediment. The collaboration among palaeontology researchers, fossil collectors, and local administrators, under the direction of Superintendence and the control of Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, allowed the recovery, study, and promotion of this precious paleontological record. The area has a good flow of tourists for the pleasant seaside, and fossiliferous sites could attract cultural tourism, through educational trails and a museum network which valorize the palaeontological and archaeological heritage of the hinterland.
Optically stimulated luminescence cross-dating from quartz of different grain size

Published: December 2023

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when a sample was last exposed to sunlight. The total specific energy (dose) absorbed since the last resetting is measured using OSL, and divided by the rate of storage (dose rate) to give the time elapsed from the last heating or daylight exposure. The general equation used to determine the age in luminescence dating is given by the ratio between the Equivalent Dose (ED) and the Annual Dose rate (AD). The ED, measured using luminescence signals, is the total absorbed dose starting from the last "zero event" while the AD, evaluated by in situ and extra situ radioactivity measurements, represents the rate at which energy is absorbed from natural radioactivity present in the sample and in the environment. Evaluation of the environmental dose rate component becomes a crucial point in dating since particular conditions of the site (heterogeneity, lack of structure...) could make age measurement inaccurate. In this work, the conditions for applicability of subtraction dating are tested on a sediment of known age; it allows an age determination that is independent of knowledge of the environmental dose-rate.

Published: December 2023

Even though the southeast region of Algeria, especially Ouargla city, enjoys a lot of sunshine all over the year, fixed photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are not sufficient due to two main reasons. Firstly, these panels are unable to capture sunlight during the early morning and late afternoon, and secondly, their efficiency is low, requiring the use of economical methods to enhance their performance. To overcome these limitations, this research suggests incorporating commercial reflectors to enhance sunlight capture. Furthermore, this paper compares the effects of three types of reflective materials: mirrors, aluminium, and transparent glass, on the performance of the PV module. To achieve this objective, reflectors are installed at the top and bottom of the PV module at their optimal tilt angles. Moreover, the effect of the adjacent module's mirrors was studied by installing two big mirrors (3X). The obtained results show an average improvement of 14.24 %, 11.41 %, and 4.7 % in the electrical energy generated by the PV panel with mirrors, aluminium, and transparent glass, respectively, compared to the module without reflectors. Subsequently, in the large mirror case, the results were positive, with an average 20.84 % increase in the maximal electrical power produced compared to the conventional one.

Precision Livestock Farming, as a specific sub-sector of Public Health Informatics, focuses on the application of process engineering principles and techniques to achieve an automatic monitoring, modelling, and management of animal productions. In the present work a timely "protocol" is proposed for unobtrusive direct/indirect monitoring of biometric parameters for the estimation of body conditions on Mediterranean Buffalo populations, using low-cost automated systems already present on the market i.e., smart cameras endowed with depth perception capabilities.
The Effect of Accounting Conservatism On Corporate Social Responsibility: Evidence from the Corporate Governance Index in Türkiye.
Authors: BELLİKLİ Uğur
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to measure whether the companies listed in the BIST Corporate Governance Index have conservative accounting policies and examine the impact of this conservatism on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and its components. Panel data analysis was used in the study. The results mean that companies listed on the BIST Corporate Governance Index prioritize conservative accounting policies and apply them in their financial reports. Additionally, it has been determined that accounting conservatism has a positive impact on companies' CSR scores and their components, with a stronger influence on board of directors scores and stakeholder scores. This finding suggests that companies with conservative accounting policies prioritize the interests of internal management while also valuing external stakeholders.

Objective
Study on the correlation between the expression of CD68 and CD25 and the degree of lesion in granulomatous mastitis.
Material and methods
50 female patients with Graves' disease underwent mammary and thyroid gland surgeries during the study period. Post-surgery pathology analyses confirmed their diagnoses, and all patients were married, aged between 26 to 50 years, without signs of pregnancy or lactation. The ailment duration averaged at 2.5 months.
Results
Both Groups A and B expressed these cells positively, without a significant difference. However, Group C showed a lack of positive expression that differs significantly from Groups A and B. In Group A, CD68 and IgG expression levels were compared across different stages of the disease course in Table 3. The statistical analysis revealed no differences between these indicators (P > 0.05). Yet it highlighted a substantially higher level of CD25 expression in Group A between 15 days to 9 weeks when compared to those observed be low 15 days (P < 0.05). After ninety or more days had elapsed, however, there was no statistically significant difference observed with a p-value greater than 0.05. For Group B, No statistically significant differences were detected among the four indicators at various stages during the disease's development (P > 0.05). CD68, CD25, and IgG expression remained consistently high for a lesion size above or below 4 cm within group A. However, no significant variations were noticed as the p-value exceeded > 0.05.
Conclusions
GLM and PCM are diseases related to the immune system with different pathogenesis involving various immune cells and cellular elements. M2 macrophages play a crucial role in both GLM and PCM progression by promoting tumorigenesis. Inverted nipples can help distinguish between IgG4-related and non-IgG4-related GLM.

Objectives To report on the clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients who developed infectious keratitis associated with contact lens wear following penetrating keratoplasty (PK).Methods A retrospective chart review was performed to identify all patients who underwent PK between November 2012 and January 2023 at a single tertiary referral practice, and subsequently developed contact-lens related infectious keratitis. Electronic medical records of 74 identified patients were reviewed to obtain data about demographics, ocular history, contact lens usage, microbial culture reports, visual acuity, treatment, and clinical outcomes.Results Contact-lens-associated infectious keratitis occurred in 9 patients, more frequently in males (66%), and patients had a mean age of 54.5 +/- 11.8 years old. The identified causative organisms included: Moraxella nonliquefaciens (N = 1), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (N = 1), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (N = 3), Staphylococcus epidermidis (N = 1), Streptococcus mitis (N = 1), Candida albicans (N = 1), Candida parapsilosis (N = 2), and Acanthamoeba (N = 1). Contact lenses were used following PK for an average of 9.1 +/- 10.8 months before development of keratitis. Patients were followed for 31.8 +/- 30.2 months after infection. The mean best corrected visual acuity without contact lenses prior to infection was 20/150 and decreased to 20/260 post-infection. Complications following the contact-lens-associated infectious keratitis included: central corneal haze (N = 8), chronic corneal epithelial defects (N = 3), perforation (N = 3), endophthalmitis (N = 1), and enucleation (N = 1). Three grafts required repeat PK.Conclusions Contact-lens-associated infectious keratitis following PK have high rates of complication. Patients should be monitored closely for signs of infection.
Reversible and Irreversible Mechanisms of Li-CO2 Batteries
Authors: Li Yafei , Zhang Xinxin , Wang Yu
Published: December 2023

Li-CO2 batteries are considered a versatile solution for CO2 utilization. However, their development, including reversibility and efficiency, is impeded by an inadequate understanding of Li-CO2 electrochemistry, particularly the decomposition of carbon and the generation of by-product O2. Here, using Ru (reversible) and Ir (irreversible) as model catalysts and employing state-of-the-art first-principles calculations, the rechargeable/reversible mechanisms of Li-CO2 batteries are disclosed. We find that electrolyte, often neglected or oversimplified in Li-CO2 modeling, plays an essential role in CO2 activation, and C-C coupling affects the generation pathways of discharge intermediates due to the sluggish kinetics. The results rationalize experimental observations, which are also examined by constant-potential modeling. Specifically, by exploring the kinetics of the charging process, we discover that the reversibility of Ru is attributed to its ability to suppress O-O coupling while co-oxidizing Li2CO3 and carbon. In contrast, Li2CO3 decomposition on Ir preferentially produces O2, during which carbon can only be partially decomposed. These findings solve long-standing questions and highlight the necessity of describing the explicit solvent effect in modeling, which can promote further studies on Li-CO2 batteries.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This case series investigated and elucidated various retinal pathologies observed in patients with COVID-19 infection. We sought to understand the prevalence and manifestations of these conditions by exploring the link between COVID-19 and retinal pathologies.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who subsequently exhibited retinal pathologies. Medical records and ophthalmic imaging data were thoroughly reviewed to identify specific cases of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM), bilateral Krill’s disease, and vessel occlusion.
Results: Our analysis revealed a spectrum of retinal pathologies in patients with COVID-19 infection. These included CSCR, PAMM, bilateral Krill’s disease, and central retinal artery occlusion. These pathologies appear to be closely associated with the inflammatory and thrombotic effects of the virus on the retina.
Conclusion: This case series demonstrates the importance of recognising and promptly managing retinal pathologies in individuals recovering from COVID-19 to mitigate vision loss. Although our findings suggest a strong connection between these ophthalmic manifestations and COVID-19 infection, further research is warranted to establish a definitive correlation and expand our understanding of these conditions in the context of post-COVID-19 recovery.
