The Theory of Ivaz as an Explanation for Gratuitous and Pointless Evils
Authors: YILDIZ İbrahim
Published: December 2023

The evidential arguments from evil present some of the most compelling challenges to theism. Among these arguments, the ones centered around gratuitous and pointless evils are particularly significant. Edward H. Madden and Peter Hare formulated an argument on gratuitous evil, while William Rowe advanced arguments on pointless evil. Although Madden and Hare proposed their argument in the sixties and Rowe in the seventies, there is a theory within Islamic thought that can shed light on the concept of gratuitous and pointless evil. The theory I propose to elucidate these types of evil is the theory of ivaz (compensation). In this article, I will delve into how the theory of ivaz can explain gratuitous and pointless evils.
Horasan Ekolünün Teşekkülünde Hâtim el-Esam ve Entelektüel Ağı
Authors: METE Ayşegül
Published: December 2023

Erken dönem tasavvuf tarihinde iki ana akımdan biri olarak kabul edilen Horasan tasavvuf ekolünün şekillenmesinde Hâtim el-Esam (ö.237/851) önemli bir figür olarak karşımıza çıkar. İbrahim b. Edhem (ö.161/778) ve Şakîk-i Belhî (ö.194/810) kanalıyla gelen öğretinin Horasan ve Maveraünnehir genelinde aktarım ve intişarının sağlamasında onun etkin bir rol oynadığı bilinir. Aynı zamanda yetiştirdiği talebeleriyle Melâmetîliğin teşekkülüne katkı sağladığı kabul edilir. Bu makale Hâtim el-Esam’ın entelektüel açıdan kimliği ve ilişkiler ağının tespitine odaklanmaktadır. Herhangi bir akademik çalışmaya konu edilmediği görülen söz konusu odağı, farklı ilmî sahalardan istifade ettiği literatürle erken dönemdeki mesele ve tartışmalardan faydalanarak sunmaya çalışır. Bu itibarla Hâtim el-Esam’ın muhaddis, fakih ve sufi kimliğiyle Horasan ilim havzasının önemli şehirlerinden biri olan Belh’te ilmî faaliyetlerin ve özellikle hadis ilminin sürekliliğine katkı yaptığı ortaya konmuştur. Çok yönlü ilişkiler ağına sahip olduğu tespit edilen Hâtim el-Esam’ın Belh ve Bağdat ulemâsı ile irtibatının dostluk ve irşad eksenli ve aynı zamanda fıkh-ı bâtın vurgulu olduğu görülürken Rey, Kazvin ve Medine-i Münevvere ulemasıyla olan münasebetlerininse eleştiri odaklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Nebevî mirasa bütünüyle sahip çıkılmamasına ilişkin söz konusu eleştirel münasebet biçimi, erken dönemde sufilerin, biçim-öz bütünlüğünden uzaklaşmaları nedeniyle diğer ilim müntesiplerine yönelttikleri tenkitlerin bir yansıması olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca sened analizi yöntemiyle onun sufilerle olan ilişkiler ağına yönelik yeni tespitler ortaya konmuştur.

Authors: Idrizi Hirijete , Markoski Mile , Najdoski Metodija , Kuzmanovski Igor
Published: December 2023

Due to its transferability, the soil has been commonly used as evidence in criminal investigations. In this work, 172 soil samples were taken from five urban parks from the town of Tetovo (North Macedonia) and from additional four rural locations in its vicinity. The soil samples were examined using X-ray powder diffraction. The collected diffractograms were used for development of classification models based on supervised self-organizing maps for determination of their origin. The examination of generalization performances of the developed models showed that they were able to correctly classify between 95.6 and 97.8% of the samples from the independent test set. The influence of the weather and the seasonal changes on the composition of the soil was also examined. For this purpose, three years after the initial soil samples were collected, additional 28 samples were analyzed from different locations. The best models presented in this work were able to successfully classify 27 of these additional samples.

Authors: Al-Harbi Reem A. K. , El-Sharief Marwa A. M. Sh. , Abbas Samir Y.
Published: December 2023

Synthesizing hybrid molecules is one of the best manners to achieve novel promising agents. Consequently, series of new thiazoles having coumarin nucleus were synthesized from 3-acetylcoumarin thiosemicarbazones. Cyclization of thiosemicarbazone derivatives with ethyl 2-chloroacetate, 1-chloropropan-2-one and 2-bromo-1-phenylethanone afforded the corresponding 4-thiazolidinones, 4-methylthiazoles and 4-phenylthiazoles, respectively. The expected antimicrobial proprieties for the synthesized thiosemicarbazone and thiazole derivatives were investigated. The thiosemicarbazones and thiazolidin-4-ones showed moderate activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Chlorination of UV Filters with Antioxidant Shield in Swimming Pool Waters – Products Identification and Toxicity Assessment
Authors: Bavcon Kralj Mojca , Lebedev Albert T. , Trebše Polonca
Published: December 2023

This work summarizes our research on synthesis, characterization and toxicity of selected UV-A filters and their antioxidant shield in commercial formulation – resveratrol. Benzophenone type of UV filters react under disinfection conditions with chlorine and form different mono- and dichlorinated products, while dibenzoylmethane derivatives, such as avobenzone, react with chlorine and form two main bridge chlorinated products followed by numerous chlorinated species at the advanced stages of the process. Resveratrol showed three main susceptible centers to chlorination, starting from the electrophilic addition to the double bond and continuing with the chlorination of the phenolic moieties. Several experiments conducted under different disinfection conditions (pool/sea water, addition of salts, irradiation) showed basically similar chlorination patterns with some variations in terms of product formation. The results of toxicity assessment using different test organisms (Vibrio fischeri, microalgae, daphnids) have shown different sensitivity of testing organisms to the parent UV filters in comparison with chlorinated products as well as different toxicity for specific UV filter in comparison to the others. As the closing loop of all experiments in the laboratory, an up-scaling to the real human skin is presented.
Development of QSAR Model Based on Monte Carlo Optimization for Predicting GABAA Receptor Binding of Newly Emerging Benzodiazepines
Authors: Antović Aleksandra , Karadžić Radovan , Živković Jelena V. , Veselinović Aleksandar M.
Published: December 2023

The rising prevalence and appeal of designer benzodiazepines (DBZDs) pose a significant public health concern. To evaluate this threat, the biological activity/potency of DBZDs was examined through in silico studies. To gain a deeper understanding of their pharmacology, we employed the Monte Carlo optimization conformation-independent method as a tool for developing QSAR models. These models were built using optimal molecular descriptors derived from both SMILES notation and molecular graph representations. The resulting QSAR model demonstrated robustness and a high degree of predictability, proving to be very reliable. The newly discovered molecular fragments used in the computeraided design of the new compounds were believed to have caused the increase and decrease of the studied activity. Molecular docking studies were used to make the final assessment of the designed inhibitors and excellent correlation with the results of QSAR modeling was observed. This discovery paves the way for the swift prediction of binding activity for emerging benzodiazepines, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional in vitro/in vivo analyses.

Authors: Santisteban Antoni
Published: December 2023

Fa uns anys que l’editorial Graó inicià una col·lecció de gran utilitat per a l’ensenyament de les Ciències Naturals i Socials, amb unes obres senzilles, però de gran rigor en els continguts, amb una informació seriosa, però motivadora a la vegada, on es combinen l’experiència personal, l’aventura i el joc amb el coneixement científic. Aquest és el cas de l’obra “El franquisme. Quaranta anys sense llibertats” d’Antoni Gavaldà, professor de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili amb una extensa experiència, tant en el camp de la investigació històrica contemporània com en el de la Didàctica de la Història, dos camps científics amb procediments de treball força diferents, però que s’han d’interrelacionar en ocasions amb aportacions mútues.

Authors: Franch Batlle Núria , Masabeu Tierno Estrella , Rota Iglesias Josep
Published: December 2023

Els infants són els principals protagonistes de les sessions de psicomotricitat, però no s’han trobat gaires recerques sobre aquest tema. L’objectiu d’aquest estudi és explorar com aquests infants viuen l’acompanyament del psicomotricista i fins a quin punt la implicació d’aquest té un impacte positiu en el seu joc. S’utilitza una metodologia qualitativa a través de l’observació participant dels investigadors en sessions de psicomotricitat en grups d’infants de EI4 i EI5 de tres escoles diferents durant tres setmanes. Les sessions eren conduïdes per psicomotricistes de l’escola formats en una línia de psicomotricitat vivencial creada per Aucouturier i Lapierre. Les dades de l’observació s’han recollit en un registre narratiu i els comentaris dels infants s’han enregistrat en àudio. Posteriorment, s’ha fet una triangulació entre els comentaris verbals dels infants, les observacions de les actuacions dels infants i les dels psicomotricistes. Els resultats mostren que els infants són conscients de les oportunitats que els ofereixen les sessions de psicomotricitat, i destaquen la importància de la mirada de l’adult que els acompanya. Es conclou que l’acompanyament i la participació del psicomotricista en el joc dels infants es revela com un factor important per al bon funcionament de les sessions de psicomotricitat, per a l’enriquiment del joc i, sobretot, per al plaer del joc.
Comunicación relacional y su contribución a la resiliencia de las organizaciones en la virtualidad
Authors: Torrescano Peña Carmen Karina , Mateos Espejel Lourdes , Gómez Vallarta Ana Cristina
Published: December 2023

A raíz de la pandemia de COVID-19, las organizaciones tuvieron que enfrentarse al cambio y a la incertidumbre que convirtieron a los equipos de trabajo virtuales en la norma. Ante esto, los empleados  fueron estratégicos para la supervivencia y continuidad de las organizaciones. Por esta razón, resulta indispensable desarrollar mecanismos para potenciar la resiliencia organizacional como capacidad para producir comportamientos positivos ante el cambio constante y la virtualidad como ejes que enmarcan el presente y el futuro de las organizaciones. Este artículo parte de la hipótesis de que, para alcanzar la resiliencia organizacional en la virtualidad, es necesario articular los conceptos de comunicación relacional y comunicación como un trabajo. En concreto, las organizaciones requieren colaboradores que afronten la adversidad como una labor rutinaria, lo cual demanda relaciones personales productivas basadas en una comunicación relacional que contribuya a su asistencia emocional y psicológica. Además, es fundamental que la comunicación en las organizaciones se conciba como un trabajo individual que implica la planeación de los mensajes y el fomento de un sentido de la responsabilidad personal en cuanto a los efectos que tiene la propia comunicación. Mediante la revisión de la bibliografía narrativa, se establece que la articulación entre ambos conceptos contribuye al desarrollo de la resiliencia organizacional, porque permite que, desde lo individual, se construya una comunicación relacional gracias a la cual los colaboradores pueden responder de forma ágil y eficaz a la separación social que entrañan el teletrabajo y los entornos de disrupción constante.
Neuromelanin quantification in formalin-fixed substantia nigra and locus coeruleus v2
Authors: Avi Chand Dipshay
Published: December 2023

There are limited methods for absolute quantification of neuromelanin in brain regions such as the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus. While stereology is typically used to quantify neuromelanin in these regions, it is semi-quantitative. A protocol for absolute quantification of neuromelanin using spectrophotometry was adapted for the modern laboratory. The process was improved so neuromelanin could be reliably quantified in formalin-fixed samples. A methodology to synthesise neuromelanin is also described, which prevents the wastage of substantia nigra neuromelanin since it is required for the calibration curve. The methodology described here is unbiased, high-throughput, and can measure neuromelanin concentration reliably. The last step contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.
Standard Operating Procedure for karyotyping non-model organisms v1
Authors: Riesgo Ana
Published: December 2023

The SOP we developed for karyotyping non-model organism is a combination of severalprotocols, with modifications (see references in document).Metaphases obtained from cell cultures have a higherquality compared to the ones from tissues, since cell division can be observed and controlled, and the chromosomes are more distended. It requires, however, development of a cell culture, which is not trivial for many taxa. It also needs adjustments in relation to the time of action of colchicine in different taxa and modifications of buffers to maintain osmolarity when dealing with marine/freshwater organisms. Overall, karyotyping methods from cell cultures are well established and have been done routinely at our labs for mammals, birds, reptiles, and fishes. For the latter two groups, it is more time consuming since the cells must be exposed tocolchicine for longer periods (minimum 3h until overnight). Karyotyping tissues can prove more challenging due to variation in penetration of colchicine, timing of the incubation in the different reagents, which also needs to be adjusted for every target group, among other things. In addition, in some cases, it requires the injection of colchicine in vivo, which makes the process more bureaucratic since it requires obtaining local permits, approval from local ethics committees, and in some cases the presence of a veterinarian. Furthermore, it is difficult to control cell division and consequently themetaphase index is lower compared to karyotypes from cells. Even though cell culture is the best source of karyotyping (with the advantage of being permanently stored and reused), tissue karyotyping has proven to be a very usefulalternative in cases where cells are difficult to obtain (some fishes, amphibians, snakes and invertebrates). Furthermore, cell culture karyotypes are more subject to mutation if many passages occur.

Decreasing the Problematic Use of an Information System: A Conceptual Replication in the Context of Digital Streaming Services
Authors: Wang Yazhu Maggie
Published: December 2023

This study is a conceptual replication of Chen, Zhang, Gong, Lee, and Wang’s (2020) study that examines factors influencing the intention to decrease problematic Information Systems (IS) use. In contrast with Chen et al.’s smartphone gaming context, we apply their theoretical model to the context of digital streaming services. Aligned with the original study, we tested the model using a scenario-based survey. Results are largely consistent with the original study, albeit with several exceptions. Our findings support that protection motivation theory (PMT) is useful in explaining decreasing problematic use in situations of threats. Threats are the negative consequences caused by problematic streaming service use. Users experience fear when they believe the negative consequences are likely to occur, and the consequential harm will be serious if they occur. When threatened, users are more motivated to decrease use if they believe decreasing use is effective in mitigating the threat and they have confidence in executing it. However, such motivation is not influenced by costs incurred by decreasing use. Further, we validate that invoking fear can break users’ viewing habits, which promotes their intention to decrease use. Yet, such an effect is limited. Future research might explore other factors that are effective in breaking users’ viewing habits.
Emotions and Information Diffusion on Social Media: A Replication in the Context of Political Communication on Twitter
Authors: Hagemann Linus , Abramova Olga
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a methodological and conceptual replication of Stieglitz and Dang-Xuan’s (2013) investigation of the role of sentiment in information-sharing behavior on social media. Whereas Stieglitz and Dang-Xuan (2013) focused on Twitter communication prior to the state parliament elections in the German states Baden-Wurttemberg, Rheinland-Pfalz, and Berlin in 2011, we test their theoretical propositions in the context of the state parliament elections in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) 2021. We confirm the positive link between sentiment in a political Twitter message and its number of retweets in a methodological replication. In a conceptual replication, where sentiment was assessed with the alternative dictionary-based tool LIWC, the sentiment was negatively associated with the retweet volume. In line with the original study, the strength of association between sentiment and retweet time lag insignificantly differs between tweets with negative sentiment and tweets with positive sentiment. We also found that the number of an author’s followers was an essential determinant of sharing behavior. However, two hypotheses supported in the original study did not hold for our sample. Precisely, the total amount of sentiments was insignificantly linked to the time lag to the first retweet. Finally, in our data, we do not observe that the association between the overall sentiment and retweet quantity is stronger for tweets with negative sentiment than for those with positive sentiment.
Mechanical Turk Versus Student Samples: Comparisons and Recommendations
Authors: De Lurgio II Stephen A. , Young Amber , Steelman Zachary R.
Published: December 2023

Mechanical Turk and other online crowdsourcing markets (OCMs) have become a go-to data source across scientific disciplines. In 2014 Steelman and colleagues investigated how Mechanical Turk data compared with student samples and consumer panels. They found the data to be comparable and reliable for academic research. In the nearly 10 years since its publication, the use of Mechanical Turk in research has grown substantially. To understand whether their results still hold, we conducted a partial replication to determine how Mechanical Turk workers continue to compare with students using UTAUT 2 as our theoretical model and virtual-reality headsets as the focal IT artifact. Our findings generally align with Steelman et al. (2014) and confirm that Mechanical Turk continues to offer a suitable alternative to student samples. This study reveals consistent results between the student and OCM samples, indicating the potential for interchangeability. The OCM samples are primarily male, while the student sample is majority female, following current US academic trends. All samples are significantly different in age, and only the US OCM and non-US OCM samples are similar in education. The path coefficients from the non-US OCM sample differ significantly from those from other OCM samples; the path coefficients derived from the student sample do not differ significantly from any OCM sample. While sample differences exist, as expected, many are addressable post hoc if anticipated and designed for during data collection. From our findings and the extant literature, we summarize recommendations for researchers and review teams.
Analysis of the Role of Compliance Plan in AI Criminal Risk Prevention-Take AI Criminal Risk in Network Communication as Example
Authors: Mou Bo , Yang Xiaopei
Published: December 2023

To address the criminal risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI) in network communications, such as privacy invasion, information leakage and abuse, prejudice and discrimination, and intelligent crime, it's crucial to implement robust compliance plans. These plans should ensure legal compliance by adhering to relevant laws and regulations, thus safeguarding against unlawful use of AI. Strengthening data privacy and protection is vital to prevent unauthorized access and misuse of sensitive information. Ensuring fairness and eliminating discrimination are essential to maintaining ethical AI practices and preventing biases in AI decision-making processes. Improving system transparency and interpretability is also critical; it involves making AI systems more understandable and accountable for their actions and decisions. Additionally, reinforcing security measures is necessary to defend against cyber threats and vulnerabilities, thereby reducing the probability of AI- enabled criminal activities. These comprehensive strategies are pivotal in mitigating the criminal risks of AI in network communication and promoting the responsible and ethical development of AI technology.

Probiotics: Multiple Roles of Microbes from Fresh and Fermented Sources
Authors: Azmeen Farha , Kishor Kunal , Jha Pooja
Published: December 2023

An important factor in improving human health is the human body's gut flora. As everyone is aware, the human body has a variety of healthy living microorganisms that aids in the defence against any unwelcome foreign organisms that might invade in our bodies. The most recent development demonstrates how people are turning more and more aware toward probiotics and treating intestinal discomfort instead of using medications. Numerous genera and species, including Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Lueconostoc, Pediococcus, Propionibacter, Enterococcus, Bifidobacterium, Bacillus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida pintolopesii, Aspergillus niger, etc., are present in probiotics. Amongst them, Lactobacillus is most prominent and in-demand genera as it has important component of the global food and feed sectors. Not just dairy products, unusual sources can also be rich in probiotic organisms. Fresh and fermented fruits, vegetables, fruit juices, and cereals extracts contain the most frequent lactic Acid Bacillus strains. Probiotics not only help to avoid diarrhoea but also help to lower the risk of coronary heart disease, obesity, and work as an immune booster. Probiotics will undoubtedly become more popular in the near future as more people discover their capacity to address a variety of health problems. Therefore, developing fresh concepts to create better strains would aid in improving the subsequent care for various accurately and conveniently treat gastro disorders using probiotics.
The urban mobility of elder workers: evidence with the American Time Use Survey (2003-2018)
Authors: Velilla Jorge , Ortega-Lapiedra Raquel , Gutiérrez-Lythgoe Antonio
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the commuting behavior of elder workers in the United States, with a focus on metropolitan areas and metropolitan population sizes. Using the American Time Use Survey for the years 2003-2018, estimates reveal a positive correlation between commuting time and residing in metropolitan areas, driven by longer commutes in more populated areas. Furthermore, elder workers in metropolitan areas of more than 2.5 million inhabitants use more public transports than workers in less-populated or non-metropolitan areas. The analysis may allow policy makers to identify which workers may be more affected by the negative consequences of commuting, and also who has more limitations in their commuting behaviors.
Does export intensity of heterogeneous firms affect leverage? Evidence from a small open economy
Authors: Ramzan Imran , Gebizlioglu Ömer Lütfi
Published: December 2023

Exports at firm level improve the financial performance and thereby contribute to economic growth. Exporting activities require additional financing and become a challenge to manufacturing firms, thus affecting managerial financing decisions. This study explores the impact of export intensity on leverage by using a dataset of manufacturing firms. The results of two-step system GMM reveal that export intensity negatively influences the leverage. We find that a firm’s size positively impacts the leverage, while cash holding has a negative connection with leverage. Finally, we note that board size exhibits a positive relationship to leverage. These findings suggest important policy implications for export promotion, specifically for a small open economy. The results are robust to different sensitivity checks.
A relação entre valores humanos e desempenho acadêmico: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Santana Raick Bastos , Sampaio Leonardo  Rodrigues
Published: December 2023

Valores são crenças que representam estados finais de existência ou comportamentos preferidos, transcendem situações específicas, orientam a seleção e a avaliação de comportamentos e eventos e variam em grau de importância entre os indivíduos. Dessa forma, eles refletem as metas que as pessoas desejam e o que consideram importante e valioso. O desempenho acadêmico pode ser definido como o grau de conhecimento e as habilidades desenvolvidas pelos estudantes em cada etapa de sua formação. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão sistemática de estudos que analisam a relação entre os valores humanos e o desempenho acadêmico desde a educação básica até o ensino superior. Uma pesquisa nos bancos de dados PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scielo e Google Scholar identificou 1545 artigos. A remoção de duplicatas e a aplicação dos critérios de elegibilidade reduziram esse número para 220, dos quais 19 foram incluídos na revisão. As principais teorias encontradas nos artigos foram a Teoria Funcionalista dos Valores Humanos, a Teoria dos Valores Básicos e a Teoria dos Valores de Rokeach. Observou-se que os valores humanos estão relacionados ao desempenho acadêmico, atuando tanto como variável predecessora quanto como mediadora e moderadora de outras variáveis, como conteúdo dos objetivos de realização, esforço para atingir as metas, motivos de realização social e individual, metas de aprendizagem, desonestidade acadêmica, metas de realização, abordagens de aprendizagem e resiliência. Esses resultados aumentam nossa compreensão de como os valores estão associados ao desempenho acadêmico e permitem reflexões sobre como promover valores entre os/as estudantes.

Published: December 2023

Las investigaciones sobre estudiantes de formación profesional son escasos en España. Mientras que se han realizado más investigaciones sobre estudiantes universitarios, son pocos los estudios que comparan estudiantes de formación profesional y estudiantes universitarios de edad equivalente. El objetivo de esta investigación era analizar la adaptación académica y personal-emocional del alumnado universitario y de formación profesional, y relacionarla con el apego adulto y variables familiares como el nivel educativo de los padres, las relaciones parentales, el estrés y la satisfacción familiar. La muestra del estudio estuvo formada por 251 estudiantes españoles de entre 18 y 25 años: 110 estudiantes de formación profesional y 141 estudiantes de universidad. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron la Bidirectional Parent-Adolescent Relationships Scale (BiPAR), la Escala de Satisfacción Familiar, la Escala de Estrés Familiar, el Cuestionario de Apego Adulto (con las subescalas Baja autoestima, Resolución hostil de conflictos, Expresión de sentimientos y Autosuficiencia emocional), y el Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (SACQ) (con las subescalas Adaptación personal-emocional y Adaptación académica). Los resultados no revelaron diferencias significativas entre los estudiantes universitarios y los de formación profesional en su adaptación personal-emocional o académica. La adaptación personal-emocional en ambos casos se relacionó negativamente con la baja autoestima y positivamente con la satisfacción familiar, mientras que la adaptación académica se relacionó negativamente con la baja autoestima y la autosuficiencia emocional y positivamente con la satisfacción familiar y la expresión de sentimientos. Estos datos apuntan directa e indirectamente al papel de las variables familiares relacionales en la adaptación de los/as adultos/as jóvenes.

The Appearance and Inflow of Lacquerware on in South Korea during the Bronze Age
Authors:   Korean Ancient Historical Society, Lee Je Hyun
Published: December 2023

In South Korea, lacquerware has been identified since the Bronze Age, but these has been no proper discussion about the background, route of introduction, and timing of the emergence of lacquer culture. In South Korea, lacquerware was investigated in Deokcheon-ri, Changwon, Namseong-ri, Asan, Daegok-ri, Hwasun, Chopo-ri, Hampyeong, and Hoam-dong, Chungju, starting from Jeoknyang-dong, Yeosu in the late Bronze Age. Early lacquerware was mainly excavated from Dolmen and Stone-piled Tomb with a Wooden Coffin, and was a prestige goods that revealed the owner's status. This shows that lacquerware was a valuable goods and could only be owned by the ruler. It is not clear whether these lacquerware were actually produced directly in South Korea or only raw materials were imported from outside. However, in that lacquerware was painted on relics that reflect the symbols of group that shared Korean bronze culture, such as mandolin shaped bronze dagger and slender bronze dagger, it can be said that their own lacquerware was already produced in the late Bronze Age.
It is estimated that lacquerware from South Korea was introduced through seaway from eastern coastal ports in china(Sandong Peninsula to Zhejiang Province). The timing of the inflow is thought to be at least before the oil field in Jeoknyang-dong, Yeosu, but there is a possibility that the remains of earlier periods will be investigated in the future. At that time, the lacquer culture did not have a professional production system, and recognized the existence of lacquer around a specific base, showing the aspect of the inflow period in which lacquer was produced on a small scale.
Empirical and Social Anxiety about the covid-19 pandemic: Measurement, Diagnosis, Modelling
Authors: Paprocki Rafał , Wróblewska-Jachna Joanna
Published: December 2023

The article contains the results of a survey conducted among students of two higher education institutions: University of Bielsko-Biała (ATH) and Cavalry Captain Witold Pilecki State University of Małopolska in Oświęcim (MUP). The study utilises the achievements of economics and sociology in the field of behavioural modelling through the public communication ecosystem. Based on the R. Dunbar’s social brain model and D. Kahneman’s dual-system theory, a new model of attitude measurement was introduced. The model was used to determine the empirical level of anxiety about the Sars-CoV-2 virus. The diagnostic purpose of the study required the operational definition of such research categories as: baseline anxiety, empirical anxiety, social anxiety, modelled sample range, baseline mortality rate, and empirical mortality rate. The scale and base parameters for the studied phenomenon were established on the basis of the official statistical data on Covid-19 mortality in Poland. The results of the study indicate a significant difference in the perception of the primary pandemic risk; the primary picture of risk (empirically observed mortality rate) turned out to be 57 times lower than the secondary picture of risk (official mortality rate). The conclusions of the study illustrate the phenomenon of communication dissonance and behavioural modelling during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Theoretical and methodological challenges of studying the impartiality of justice evaluations
Authors: Wysieńska-Di Carlo Kinga , Karpiński Zbigniew
Published: December 2023

We extend Jasso and colleagues’ (Jasso, Shelly, Webster 2019) research into expressiveness and impartiality of justice evaluations, both methodologically and substantively. Substantively, using the concepts developed within the distributive justice framework, we bridge the justice evaluation function with theories of reward expectations and social identity to explain variation in expressiveness across situations. We hypothesize that such variation is systematically linked to the degree of (dis)similarity between the evaluator and the person being evaluated. Methodologically, we propose a novel analytical strategy to estimate expressiveness and to test hypotheses about its variability based on a series of mixed-effects models with random slopes and random intercepts. To verify our hypotheses, we use data from a recent vignette survey carried out in Poland on a nationwide sample. Our results are more consistent with reward expectation theory than with social identity theory.

Influencia de la temperatura en la energía de banda prohibida de nanoplaquetas de grafeno oxidado reducido según el modelo de Varshni
Authors: Prías-Barragán Jhon Jairo
Published: December 2023

Se estimó la dependencia de la temperatura con la energía de banda prohibida (Eg(T)) en nanoplaquetas individuales de grafeno oxidado reducido (rGO) obtenidas de bambú. Las rGO se sintetizaron mediante el método de la doble descomposición térmica en un sistema de pirolisis, bajo una atmósfera de nitrógeno controlada y temperatura de carbonización fija en TCA = 973 K. Para la caracterización eléctrica de las rGO se empleó el método de curvas I-V en cuatro contactos eléctricos con nanocables de Pt depositados mediante el sistema de deposición inducida por haces enfocados de electrones e iones. La Eg(T) se estimó usando medidas de resistividad eléctrica tomadas a temperaturas que variaban entre los 30 y los 290 K. Las rGO exhibieron una Eg(T) descrita principalmente por el modelo de Mott de salto de rango variable tridimensional (VRH-3D). La Eg(T) se analizó considerando los modelos fenomenológicos de Varshni, Bose-Einstein, Magnoogian-Wooley, Viña, et al., y Päsler. Se encontró que el modelo de Varshni describía adecuadamente el comportamiento experimental de la Eg(T), con el valor de Eg(T = 0 K) extrapolado a 0,292 eV y los parámetros de Varshni de α = 6,70 x 10-4 eV/K y β = 33,62 K. Estos valores concuerdan con el orden de magnitud de los coeficientes de Varshni reportados para otros semiconductores de banda prohibida estrecha como el InAs y el InSb. Asimismo, se encontró que la presencia de puentes de hidroxilo en la rGO modificaba la longitud de los enlaces carbono-carbono, lo cual domina la respuesta eléctrica, como se preveía y ha sido reportado previamente al emplear cálculos de primeros principios vía la teoría del funcional de la densidad (DFT). Estos resultados sugieren que las rGO pueden ser excelentes materiales para el desarrollo de la electrónica avanzada de sensores y dispositivos.
La inconvencionalidad de los plazos en el acceso a los sistemas de asilo en México
Authors: Carrancá Álvarez Luis Xavier
Published: December 2023

El artículo problematiza la validez de los plazos legales que tienen por efecto limitar el acceso a los sistemas de asilo. En primer lugar, se explica que el derecho a buscar y recibir asilo tiene un carácter sustantivo que obliga a los Estados a identificar, reconocer y proteger a las personas con necesidades de protección internacional. Se establece que los plazos prescriptivos anulan toda posibilidad a las personas refugiadas de ser reconocidas como tales, a pesar de enfrentar riesgos en su país de origen. Posteriormente, se toma como base una sentencia emitida por la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación de México para exponer algunos de los argumentos destinados en favor de los plazos prescriptivos. A la par, se confrontan dichos argumentos para reiterar la inconvencionalidad de los plazos prescriptivos. Finalmente, se explican algunos efectos que estas normas han tenido en México como advertencia para la región.
Vitalidades pedagógicas: sensibilidades y re-existencias en lo educativo
Authors: Barone Zallocco Ornela , Díaz Santiago
Published: December 2023

Las escrituras que componen esta edición son narrativas donde habitan las preguntas como vitalidad pedagógica y metodológica. Les autores  se comprometen con el riesgo (Luhmann, 2018) a consideración de las posibilidades que se gestan y brotan de lo inesperado, de los afectos y contagios que habilitan la conmoción como experiencia pedagógica. Estos textos se narran en una témporo-espacialidad propia, situada en cada territorio, son escrituras que se sostienen en escenarios convulsos (Rolnik, 2019) pero con micropolíticas que transitan portales de tiempos no-lineales, ni secuenciales, sino tiempos propios, suspendidos en la magia vital del estar juntes a la escucha de, a la creación de, a la narración de... Las experiencias pedagógicasvitales que aquí se narran se componen y practican en tiempos cimarrónicos de refugio y sanación (Piña Narváez Funes, 2021).

Published: December 2023

Ефективною стратегією лікування патології центральної нервової системи (ЦНС) вважається клітинна терапія з використанням стовбурових/прогеніторних клітин (СПК), регенеративних біоматеріалів, технологій тканинної інженерії та їх поєднання. Біоінженерні технології мають особливе значення при травматичних ураженнях ЦНС, насамперед з метою заповнення травматичних порожнин і забезпечення локусів адсорбції для трансплантованих або ендогенних клітин; а також для пригнічення апоптозу, запалення, утворення гліальних рубців і стимуляції нейрогенезу, проростання аксонів і ангіогенезу. Мета – вивчити вплив імплантації фібринової матриці (ФМ), асоційованої з нейрогенними СПК, на тканину спинного мозку щурів після травми спинного мозку.
