By giving an outline of the Chinese cultural heritage protection system, thefirst part of this paper concentrates on the opportunities and limits of archaeological investigation conducted by foreigners in the People's Republic Abstracts 267of China. It not only presents the history of preserving archaeological recordsand describes its legal and institutional backgrounds, but also details howthe existing legal provisions limit the opportunities of on-site research forforeigners. Other problems of heritage protection are also listed. Despite increasing legal efforts, tourism, archaeological looting, large scale constructions, and many other destructive factors all result in significant damage ofarchaeological property, and call for improved protection. Additionally, ashortage of experienced professionals and some major weaknesses of Chinese academic writings (such as the relative absence of comprehensive theoretical works, reliable databases, objective and detailed descriptions, etc.) require further reforms. While the above situation makes the use of publisheddata more difficult, it also increases the number of interdisciplinary researchgroups in the context of Sino-foreign cooperations. However, for individualscholars, archaeological investigation in China can still present a significantchallenge. In this manner, the second part of the paper provides an example of thelimits and opportunities detailed above through summarizing the results ofthe author's own research conducted in China.

There is no clear recipe what makes fieldwork successful simply becauseevery field is different. This was confirmed in my own experience when Iconducted research for nearly four years between 2010 and 2015 in two geographic areas located far apart in the People’s Republic of China. Thanks tothis particular feature of my field researches I gained an insight into howthe opportunities for fieldwork in China were influenced by the interests ofthe political power and, beyond it, by people who live subordinated to thispower. The examination of the human factor is in the focus of my study asa kind of ‘footnote’ to doing fieldwork in the People’s Republic of China.
Mongol nomádok ma

Published: January 2021

We are witnessing changes to the Mongolian nomad social system: globalisation, political, economic and climatic changes are all affecting traditionalpastoral nomadism. The mobility of the Mongolian nomads drastically decreased in the last twenty years. Some researchers argue that the mobilitychange will accelerate the acculturation of Mongolian pastoral nomads. Basedon my fieldwork and research, I consider the issue of acculturation a verycomplex phenomenon, which depends on the adaptiveness and flexibility ofthe nomads. For this reason, we should look at these specific aspects of theMongolian nomadic pastoralism. In this study, I present the historical, economic and ecological reasons for the mobility decrease and the theoreticalbackground of my fieldwork.

A „Nóra-jelenség” és az ibsenizmus szerepe a 20. századi kínai dráma fejlődésében
Authors: Nyirádi Blanka
Published: January 2021

The 19th-century Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen had an unparalleled,posthumous impact on the development of modern Chinese drama. How isit possible that he could influence the literature of a country so remote inspace and so different in its literary traditions? History is a key factor in thisstory. Early 20th century China was at the threshold of taking radical measures in reforming its society, and she was badly in need of a supporting ideology. Ibsen was a thinker and dramatist who, by means of presenting acutesocial problems in his plays, deeply influenced the society of his age. Hedid so in a realistic way and with the help of a clear language, both of whichfactors extremely appealed to modern Chinese intellectuals. It can be stated that it was to a great extent through Ibsen’s plays, mostimportantly through Nora, that modern Chinese intellectuals discovered thelong-range possibilities lying in the adoption of Western dramatic form,namely, transforming minds. Nora stirred the pond water of Chinese society,and came to symbolize the rebellion of the ‘Free Individual’: something that had no precedent whatsoever in China but what has long been in theair. Modern Chinese playwrights began to imitate Ibsen with great fervour,resulting in the flourishing of the social problem play, featuring brave andmodern ‘Chinese Noras’. Although advanced thinkers soon had to realize thatthe ideas of Ibsen cannot simply be adopted but must first be modified to beable to credibly represent contemporary Chinese social, cultural and moralreality, the ‘Nora-phenomenon’ and Ibsenism played a vital role in setting offthe literary and cultural reform in early 20th-century China.

Kormányzástan a Laozi-ben
Authors: Ladjánszky Endre
Published: January 2021

The power-technical aspects and the methods of governance of Laozi’s workare the less widely discussed topics of sinological literature on classical Chinese philosophy. The tension caused by the duality in the paradoxes in connection with the textual cohesion problems in the Daodejing’s reading isthe starting point for our analysis. An inherent way to resolve the tension wasmade possible by an original text-critical distinction, in which we can examinethe divergent and convergent aspects of the shengren-teaching that constitutesthe Daoist concept of governance. With the help of an analytical techniquebased on a close reading of the texts, in addition to the systematic discussionof the chapter relevance, Laozi’s first man, the sage shengren can be recognized and portrayed in four different roles: as a wise hermit, as a kind ofrulers’ helper, as a ruler who becomes a shengren and as a shengren whobecomes a ruler. These descriptions make it easier for us to understand thecomplex-heterogeneous system of the Daodejing’s governance.
Szüléssel kapcsolatos rítusok és tabuk a hagyományos és a modern Koreában
Authors: Kovács Ramóna
Published: January 2021

Welcoming a new member of the community, such as a baby, used to happen in the framework of various rites and rules in traditional societies. In Korean society, the conception of a baby is connected to beliefs even today. For instance, based on the conception dreams, Koreans make predictions regarding the child’s gender, personality and future life. In the old days, the mother had to follow strict rules throughout her pregnancy, and sacrifices had to be offered to the god of birth on the day labor began. At the same time, giving birth means pain and blood, which were considered unclean, so different measures had to be taken. For example, a straw string was hung over the main gate, thanks to which the neighbors and relatives were informed of the arrival of the baby. In the modernized 21st century, the majority of those old traditions, superstitions and practices have already faded away: customs related to pregnancy and childbirth have changed. Modern medicine has taken the place of the old beliefs, and families are willing to pay considerable sums to various institutions to ensure the safety of the mother and the baby. However, there are some interesting points we can highlight, since they have survived even into the days of the new lifestyle, such as eating seaweed soup, which occurs as a birthday dish as well. Also, they still rely on the conception dreams of the future mother or grandmother; these may indicate a yet-undiagnosed pregnancy.
Kitan szavak listája Ligeti Lajos MTA-ra hagyott jegyzeteiben
Authors: Apatóczky Ákos Bertalan
Published: January 2021

The late Professor Louis Ligeti was one of the most influential scholars of the 20th century in the fields of Altaic historical linguistics and many others. Ligeti’s personal scholarly notes, according to the provisions of his will, were deposited in the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS) and were not released for 40 years. In 2018 a special research team of the HAS of Linguistics and Literary Scholarship Section was established to process the contents of the more than 70 large cardboard boxes. This study introduces a segment of his notes on deciphering the Khitan language, dealing with numerals, and offers insights into the current opinion of scholars whenever it varies from Ligeti’s. Minor corrections to the readings of Khitan ‘one’ as well as to the name of the ‘Old(er) Khitan State’ are also suggested.
A magyar és a mandarin kínai hangrendszer összehasonlító elemzése a nyelvpedagógia szemszögéből
Authors: Ye Qiuyue , Bartos Huba
Published: January 2021

The goal of this paper is to provide the linguistic groundwork for future advances towards more effective ways of teaching the pronunciation of MandarinChinese to Hungarian learners. It builds on earlier work by the authors on this subject, expanding their coverage, and sharpening the analyses therein. After a brief general introduction of the two languages, the paper offers an in-depth comparison between their segmental and suprasegmental phonetic systems, systematically going through the major subsystems, pointing out system-level similarities and differences. The paper then continues with an evaluation of the likelihood of the identified differences causing difficulties for learners of Mandarin with Hungarian as their native language both in learning and in communicative efficiency, concluding that suprasegmental features (tone, intonation) are the areas with the greatest discrepancy between the severity of the problem and the awareness of teachers – largely due to the cognitive ‘novelty’ of the feature for the learners (tone), or the seriously understudied nature of the feature (intonation).
ONTOLOGY-BASED HBIM FOR HISTORIC BUILDINGS WITH TRADITIONAL WOODWORK IN TAIWAN
Authors: Cheng Ying-Mei , Kuo Chiao-Ling , Mou Chia-Ching
Published: January 2021

In recent years, the use of Historic Building Information Modeling (HBIM) has grown prevalent and thus provided a research opportunity. Differing from newly constructed buildings, structural components of historic buildings come with unique physical configurations and have amassed impressive amount of restoration data, all of which must be taken into consideration when incorporating Building Information Modeling. In terms of modelling, it is critical to determine the appropriate level of detail (LoD), level of information (LoI), especially the comprehensiveness and expandability of the database. International Committee for Documentation/Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC CRM) is a widely accepted standard for ontology model. This study aims to integrate the HBIM and CIDOC CRM to construct a framework and comprehensive operational procedure for the modeling of traditional Minan architecture and a database with complete semantics archiving the background and restoration data. Autodesk A360 is ideal for collaborative. However, there are limitations when it comes to developing advanced models for data management or query; interactive experience; meeting model applications derived from future scenarios. Therefore, the study also offers a 3D modeling platform constructed using Unity, as well as a comparison of the platforms built with Unity, three.js and Autodesk A360 as a reference for users.

Effect of Dawood Fasting on the Increased Level of Antioxidant Enzymes
Authors: Mulyaningrum Utami , Muttaqina Anif Firrizki , Idninda Adhitama Noor , Pulungan Ndilalah , Agustiningtyas Irena , Fidianingsih Ika
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND: The incidence of degenerative diseases is increasing. The underlying mechanism for such disease includes rising oxidative stress without correspondingly adequate antioxidants. Intermittent fasting (IF) may stimulate mild oxidative stress with a corresponding increase in antioxidants. Dawood fasting (DF) as an alternative diet similar to IF is normally performed for <24 h (±14 h) with intermittent intervals of 1st-day fasting, 2nd-day ad libitum (AL) diet, 3rd-day fasting, and so on.
AIM: The aim of this study to examine the effect of DF on the changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (Cat) antioxidant enzymes in BALB/c strain mice.
METHODS: A total of 15 BALB/c strain mice were randomly divided into three groups. The AL control (ALC) group was given a standard diet (AIN93) and AL drink every day. The high-fat diet control group was treated with a high-fat diet (24%) and daily AL drink. The DF group fasted on the 1st day (no food or drink) from 17:00 to 07:00, continued every other day, and given a standard feed (AIN93) and AL drink for 8 weeks. Examination of SOD levels in the liver as well as GPx and Cat levels in plasma was carried out using a spectrophotometer. The analysis was conducted using the one-way analysis of variance test followed by Tukey’s test (95% confidence level).
RESULTS: The levels of SOD in ALC, DF, and HF groups were 52.86 ± 5.73%, 68.57 ± 3.7%, and 38.57 ± 4.3%, respectively (p = 0.00). The GPx levels were 43.06 ± 2.75 U/L, 55.54 ± 2.71 U/L, and 32.26 ± 2.14 U/L, respectively (p = 0.00), and the corresponding Cat levels were 5.82 ± 0.63 U/ml, 6.55 ± 0.64 U/ml, and 3.44 ± 0.64 U/ml (p = 0.00).
CONCLUSION: The levels of SOD, GPx, and Cat antioxidant enzymes during DF were higher compared to an AL diet and a high-fat diet.

Long-palped Water Beetles were collected during a taxon expedition in Montenegro which involved citizen scientists, students and taxonomists. The material was collected from springs, brooks, fens and the Tara River, at altitudes between 600 m and 1450 m above sea level, using fine-meshed hand-nets and by manual checking of submerged substrates. The morphological species delimitation was supplemented and congruent with mtDNA sequences mainly obtained in the field using the newly-developed MinION-basedONTrackpipeline.

The new speciesHydraena dinaricaFreitag & de Vries, sp. n. from Durmitor Mt. is described, illustrated and compared in detail to closely-related congeners of theH. sagad'Orchymont, 1930/H. emarginataRey, 1885 species complex. Five additional species and female specimens of two unidentified morphospecies of the genus were also recorded in the vicinity of Durmitor National Park. New records and the first DNA barcodes forHydraena biltoniJäch & Díaz, 2012 (endemic to Montenegro) andH. morioKiesenwetter, 1849 are provided. Further records ofH. nigritaGermar, 1824,H. minutissimaStephens, 1829,H. subintegraGanglbauer, 1901 and females of two unidentified morphospecies are commented upon. The resulting inter- and intraspecific genetic distances and some observations of low or zero sequence divergence between recently-diverged species ofHydraenaKugelann, 1794 are briefly discussed.
Régimes de change et désajustements des taux de change réels en Afrique subsaharienne : le niveau de démocratie importe-t-il ?
Authors: Owoundi Ferdinand
Published: January 2021

Cet article s’intéresse à la relation entre les régimes de change et les désajustements des taux de change réels qui y sont associés, en fonction du niveau de démocratisation. Il s’agit à notre connaissance de la première analyse de ce type, notamment pour les pays africains dont le type de régime de change et la qualité de la gouvernance sont régulièrement tenus pour responsables des performances de croissance modestes. L’évaluation empirique montre que le régime de change fixe en lui-même n’engendre pas nécessairement plus de désajustements que les régimes intermédiaires et flexibles. L’effet du régime de change est plutôt subordonné au niveau de démocratisation, puisque de meilleures institutions combinées à des régimes flexibles permettent de réduire l’ampleur des désajustements. Cet effet s’observe notamment pour les pays autocratiques et relativement autocratiques, qui envisagent d’améliorer leur score de démocratisation. Codes JEL : C23, E02, F45, H11.
La politique monétaire de la BCEAO face au double ancrage : ciblage d’inflation et ciblage du taux de change
Authors: Fall Alsim , Sy Demba
Published: January 2021

Le ciblage de l’inflation constitue en général un objectif de politique monétaire dans les pays où le taux de change est librement déterminé sur le marché des devises. Toutefois, la BCEAO applique une politique de ciblage d’inflation associée à un ancrage dur du taux de change nominal à l’euro. La présente étude s’interroge sur la pertinence d’une telle stratégie à l’aide de l’utilisation d’un modèle QPM Néokeynésien qui intègre une fonction de réaction de la Banque Centrale basée sur la poursuite des objectifs d’inflation et de réserves de change. Les simulations montrent que les mesures prises par la BCEAO au cours des cinq dernières années s’écartent de l’objectif de ciblage de l’inflation du fait de la contrainte de rigidité du taux de change nominal. À cet effet, le cadre de politique monétaire pourrait être renforcé par la définition de deux types d’instrument pour l’atteinte des cibles interne et externe respectives. Codes JEL : D58, E52, E58.
Rendre compte du tacite grâce à la fonction métapragmatique. Le cas d’une mise en accusation en assemblée générale anarchiste
Authors: Him-Aquilli Manon
Published: January 2021

L’article analyse le fonctionnement de la réflexivité langagière et politique de militant·es anarchistes et/ou autonomes vis-à-vis de leurs réunions politiques. Il cherche à décrire ce que produit une telle réflexivité et si cette dernière parvient ou non à neutraliser les rapports de pouvoir s’établissant par la parole en assemblées générales et largement observés par les militant·es elleux-mêmes. Pour cela, l’article mobilise les notions d’ indexicalité et de métapragmatique , proposées par le courant sémiotique de l’anthropologie linguistique étatsunienne. À ce propos, on rendra compte de la tension entre contraintes sociohistoriques et effets pragmatiques en situation qui travaille l’interprétation de certains signes produits en assemblées, et en premier lieu leur degré de « formalisation ». L’article constate enfin comment la coconstruction de positionnements discursifs en interaction reproduit, tout en les déplaçant, certaines des grandes catégories structurant l’espace du mouvement anarchiste/autonome contemporain.
Bilinguisme et immersion universitaire. Vers la réalisation d’un idéal politique

Published: January 2021

Cet article rapporte le cas d’une étudiante inscrite au Régime d’immersion en français (RIF) de l’université d’Ottawa avec comme objectif de mettre en lumière les représentations de cette étudiante et leurs relations avec les objectifs déclarés par les politiques sur le bilinguisme officiel au Canada. Des entretiens semi-dirigés ont servi à produire un portrait détaillé des expériences personnelles et de la trajectoire académique, sociale et professionnelle de cette étudiante pour déterminer l’apport et les liens possibles entre les conséquences d’une immersion universitaire et les politiques linguistiques prônées par le Gouvernement du Canada. Les résultats démontrent l’impact d’une expérience d’immersion universitaire sur les compétences linguistiques de l’étudiante mais mettent aussi l’accent sur la construction identitaire découlant du désir d’étudier en français, de s’intégrer à la communauté francophone, et de défendre le bilinguisme comme une valeur permettant de se créer un imaginaire linguistique divers, ouvert aux possibilités d’un Canada bilingue et multilingue.
Investir les institutions depuis les marges de l’emploi
Authors: Baraud Angel
Published: January 2021

À partir d’une enquête ethnographique auprès de femmes de classes populaires urbaines, sans emploi, portant notamment sur leurs rapports au travail et aux institutions publiques, cet article propose d’analyser les rapports à l’école d’un groupe de femmes qui scolarisent leurs enfants dans un établissement privé. Pour pallier le coût financier de la cantine, elles préparent le déjeuner de leurs enfants et se mobilisent pour avoir accès à un local municipal. En partant d’une question apparemment banale : « où faire manger ses enfants ? », l’article montre le caractère impossible, dans ce contexte, de la « conciliation entre vie familiale et vie professionnelle » à laquelle invitent les politiques publiques de l’emploi, du fait notamment des contraintes parentales engendrées par la scolarisation. Mais il montre également des femmes qui ne sont pas démunies dans leurs relations aux professionnelles et qui investissent individuellement et collectivement des structures publiques ou parapubliques pour contourner les défaillances des institutions de l’État social et des services publics, au premier rang desquelles se trouve l’école. L’école est une institution qui tient une place centrale dans la vie de ces femmes. Elle rythme leurs journées, leurs semaines et implique une importante charge de travail. De ce point de vue, elle n’est comparable à aucune des autres institutions auxquelles elles ont affaire. Toutefois, les pratiques et les représentations qu’elles engagent autour de la scolarisation de leurs enfants ainsi que les ressources qu’elles mobilisent face aux obstacles rencontrés invitent à penser l’école comme une institution comme les autres. Le sentiment de mise à distance en particulier ainsi que les différents modes d’investissement d’institutions intermédiaires qui en découlent ne sont pas spécifiques à l’école, c’est ce que montre l’étude de leurs relations à Pôle emploi.
Dynamique des prix du bitcoin et hyperdéflation : une approche en théorie monétaire
Authors: Sokic Alexandre
Published: January 2021

Cet article explore l’impressionnante dynamique des prix du bitcoin en considérant cette cryptomonnaie dans son rôle essentiel d’intermédiaire des échanges. Le travail se démarque des recherches précédentes sur le bitcoin en étudiant sa dynamique des prix d’un point de vue théorique. On montre, en premier lieu, que l’évolution des prix du bitcoin observée depuis sa création peut être interprétée en termes d’hyperdéflation. Deuxièmement, un modèle de théorie monétaire à agent représentatif et monnaie dans la fonction d’utilité est utilisé pour représenter le rôle monétaire du bitcoin. On montre que les caractéristiques monétaires spécifiques du bitcoin, son stock nominal constant et sa divisibilité jusqu’à huit décimales, génèrent des sentiers d’hyperdéflation. D’autres scénarios alternatifs pour la dynamique des prix du bitcoin sont également discutés. Classification JEL  : E31, E41, E42.
Activités de trading des banques de dépôt et risque systémique : une séparation entre les activités d’intermédiation et les activités de marché s’impose-t-elle ?
Authors: Fina Kamani Eric
Published: January 2021

Cet article s’intéresse aux effets des activités de marché des banques de dépôt européennes sur leur exposition au risque systémique. Il montre que les activités de marché n’augmentent que l’exposition des grandes (petites) banques au risque systémique, mais seulement lorsque le marché est fortement (peu) concentré. Il souligne ainsi que les politiques favorisant une harmonisation du niveau de concentration bancaire des pays pourraient remédier aux effets néfastes de la diversification sur la stabilité du système bancaire européen. Toutefois, compte tenu de la difficulté à mettre en place de telles politiques, une réglementation qui sépare ces activités semble être une solution à l’instabilité du système bancaire européen résultant des activités de marché des banques de dépôt.

Clinical Effectiveness of Laser-Induced Increased Depth of Field for the Simultaneous Correction of Hyperopia and Presbyopia
Authors: Rahmania Nesrine , Salah Imène , Rampat Radhika , Gatinel Damien
Published: January 2021

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the visual outcomes of patients with presbyopic hyperopia, comparing the current standard of monovision treatment with a novel bilateral presbyopic LASIK (Custom-Q mode) technique.

METHODS:

This prospective comparative study of consecutive eligible patients with presbyopic hyperopia undergoing a bilateral presbyopic laser in situ keratomileusis technique was conducted between January 2018 and February 2019. After contact lens–simulated monovision measurements were obtained, the non-dominant eyes had a negative aspheric ablation profile planned using the Custom-Q nomogram (Alcon Laboratories, Inc). The dominant eye was operated on with a positive aspheric ablation profile. Visual acuity testing, refraction, corneal asphericity (▵Q), higher order aberrations, and a satisfaction questionnaire (National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life) were evaluated after the monovision trial and postoperatively.

RESULTS:

Twenty-eight patients, with a mean age of 56.03 ± 4.31 years, were included in the study. At 6 months, 100% of patients achieved 20/20 or better binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) versus 57% in the monovision group, 100% of patients achieved 20/25 or better binocular uncorrected intermediate visual acuity versus 32% in the monovision group, and 92.86% of patients achieved 20/25 or better binocular uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) in both groups. In contact lens monovision simulation, no patient reached a UDVA of 20/50 or better, with only 3.6% having a UNVA of 20/40 or better. The questionnaire demonstrated high patient satisfaction.

CONCLUSIONS:

The outcomes confirm the superiority of increased depth of focus using negative spherical aberration modulation in the non-dominant eye compared with contact lens monovision. They also demonstrate the effectiveness of positive spherical aberration induction to improve intermediate and near vision in the dominant eye.

Distribution of Pupil Offset and Angle Kappa in a Refractive Surgery Preoperative Population of 750 Myopic, Emmetropic, and Hyperopic Eyes
Authors: Reinstein Dan Z. , Archer Timothy J. , Rowe Elizabeth L. , Gobbe Marine , Vida Ryan S.
Published: January 2021

PURPOSE:

To report the distribution of pupil offset and angle kappa in 750 myopic, emmetropic, and hyperopic eyes presenting for refractive surgery.

METHODS:

A retrospective study included 750 consecutive eyes screened for corneal refractive surgery between January 2006 and February 2013. The eyes were divided into three equal groups based on manifest refraction spherical equivalent (SEQ): emmetropic group between −0.25 and +0.50 diopters (D) and cylinder up to 1.00 D, myopic group greater than −0.50 D, and hyperopic group greater than +0.50 D. Angle kappa was measured with the Orbscan II software (Bausch & Lomb, Inc) and pupil offset defined as the distance at the corneal plane between the corneal vertex and the pupil center. Correlations with SEQ, cylinder, scotopic pupil diameter, average keratometry, and age were performed.

RESULTS:

All results are reported for myopic, emmetropic, and hyperopic groups, respectively. Mean SEQ was −4.84 ± 2.89 D (range: −0.88 to −14.00 D), +0.21 ± 0.23 D (range: −0.25 to +0.50 D), and +2.44 ± 1.58 D (range: +0.63 to +7.75 D). Mean pupil offset magnitude was 0.27 ± 0.14 mm (range: 0.00 to 0.68 mm), 0.34 ± 0.14 mm (range: 0.02 to 0.78 mm), and 0.39 ± 0.13 mm (range: 0.07 to 0.75 mm). Mean pupil offset X-component was −0.18 ± 0.18, −0.28 ± 0.16, and −0.34 ± 0.15 mm (temporally displaced from the corneal vertex). Mean pupil offset Y-component was 0.06 ± 0.15, 0.03 ± 0.16, and 0.01 ± 0.16 mm (superiorly displaced from the corneal vertex). Multivariate linear regression for pupil offset magnitude found statistically significant variables were SEQ, cylinder, scotopic pupil diameter, and average keratometry. For pupil offset X-component, significant variables were SEQ, cylinder, and scotopic pupil diameter. For pupil offset Y-component, significant variables were SEQ and scotopic pupil diameter. Mean angle kappa was 5.28 ± 1.49°, 6.14 ± 1.44°, and 5.77 ± 1.29°.

CONCLUSIONS:

Contrary to common belief, a pupil offset is present in the vast majority of eyes regardless of refractive error, with the mean temporal offset of at least 0.18 mm. Confirming previous studies, the largest pupil offset was found in the hyperopic group. However, there was also a wide range of pupil offset in myopic and emmetropic eyes. Correlations with SEQ and keratometry support the theory that pupil offset is also correlated with axial length.

Transepithelial Corneal Cross-linking With Supplemental Oxygen in Keratoconus: 1-Year Clinical Results
Authors: Matthys Alex , Cassagne Myriam , Galiacy Stéphane D. , El Hout Safa , Fournié Pierre , Malecaze François
Published: January 2021

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transepithelial corneal cross-linking (CXL) with supplemental oxygen.

METHODS:

This was a prospective, non-comparative, pilot cohort study conducted at the National Reference Center for Keratoconus (Toulouse, France) on patients with progressive keratoconus. Transepithelial, pulsed, accelerated CXL was performed in an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Oxygen goggles were applied to the eyes to maintain a high level of oxygen during treatment. The main efficacy outcome was the mean change from baseline in maximum keratometry (Kmax) and the secondary outcomes were the mean changes in flat keratometry (K1), steep keratometry (K2), mean keratometry (Km), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and demarcation line depth. The safety outcomes were the incidence of adverse events, the mean change in pachymetry, and endothelial cell count.

RESULTS:

Thirty-four eyes of 34 patients were included. At 12 months postoperatively, the Kmax decreased by 1.56 ± 1.71 diopters (D) (
P
< .0001) and CDVA improved by 0.093 ± 0.193 logMAR (
P
< .02). The K2 and Km decreased by 0.51 ± 1.03 D (
P
< .02) and 0.40 ± 0.78 D (
P
< .01), respectively. There was no change in K1 and UDVA. The most frequent adverse event was corneal haze (64.78%). There were neither cases of infectious keratitis or loss of more than two lines in CDVA nor changes in pachymetry or endothelial cell count.

CONCLUSIONS:

Transepithelial CXL performed in an oxygen-rich atmosphere results in improved Kmax and CDVA with good safety. These promising findings suggest that this procedure could be safe and capable of halting the progression of keratoconus.

Health Literacy: An Interactive Outcome Among Secondary Students in Beijing
Authors: Guo Shuaijun , Yu Xiaoming , Davis Elise , Armstrong Rebecca , Naccarella Lucio
Published: January 2021

Background:

Health literacy enables a person to make good decisions regarding health care, disease prevention, and health promotion to maintain and improve health. Although health literacy research in China has gained increasing attention in recent years, most existing studies focus on adults rather than adolescents. In addition, little theory-driven empirical research has been conducted to fully understand the relationship among health literacy, its influencing factors, and health outcomes scored on a skills-based health literacy instrument.

Objective:

This study applied Manganello's framework to investigate how health literacy was related to its antecedents and health status in secondary students in Beijing, China.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 650 students in Years 7 to 9 (age 11–17 years) from four secondary schools. Students completed a self-administered questionnaire based on Manganello's health literacy framework, which measured key upstream determinants, including health literacy and self-report health status. Health literacy was measured on an 8-item skills-based instrument that assesses a person's ability to find, understand, appraise, and communicate health information in everyday life (scores range from 0–37). Descriptive statistics and path analysis were conducted to investigate the mediating role of health literacy in predicting health status.

Key Results:

Overall, the average scores of students' health literacy was 26.37 (±5.89). Manganello's framework was supported by the data collected (

χ

/df = 2.049,
p

r
= 0.11, p = .007), social support (
r
= 0.18, p < .001), and school environment (
r
= 0.27,
p
< .001) predicted health literacy, which in turn predicted students' health status (
r
= 0.12,
p
= .005).

Conclusions:

Adolescent health literacy is not only a person's capability to protect health, but also an interactive outcome with the broader environment. Promoting health literacy could be a useful strategy to improve health status for adolescents; however, a holistic approach is needed to increase students' self-efficacy, promote social support, and create positive school environments to achieve optimal health literacy and health outcomes.

Plain Language Summary:

We investigated how health literacy was related to its influencing factors and health status among secondary students in Years 7 to 9 in Beijing, China. Students with low self-efficacy, low social support, and low perceptions of positive school environment were more likely to have low health literacy, which in turn predicted poor health status.
Some rigidity theorems on Finsler manifolds
Authors: Yin Songting ,   Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Tongling University, Tongling, 244000 Anhui, China
Published: January 2021

We prove that, for a Finsler manifold with the weighted Ricci curvature bounded below by a positive number, it is a Finsler sphere if and only if the diam attains its maximal value, if and only if the volume attains its maximal value, and if and only if the first closed eigenvalue of the Finsler-Laplacian attains its lower bound. These generalize some rigidity theorems in Riemannian geometry to the Finsler setting.

EDUCATION OF FAMILY MEDIATORS IN THE CROATIAN AND INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT 5 ABSTRACT The paper provides an overview of the training of family mediators from the perspective of the number of hours and the contents of educational programmes in some member states of the European Union and some countries outside of Europe where family mediation is highly developed. The aim is to analyse the common and specific determinants with regard to the length of training, implementation of training and contents of training. The paper shows that there is no unified training practice for family mediators, and that the number of hours differs among the analysed countries. The educational programmes are conducted within professional associations and organisations that deal with family mediation or within faculties. A larger similarity can be observed in the contents covered by the educational programmes with regard to the knowledge needed for the implementation of family mediation, techniques and methods, principles, values, legal and psychosocial aspects of understanding the contents and procedures of mediation. Apart from theoretical aspects, attention is given to the methods of teaching which motivate practical implementation during the teaching, as well as direct practical work accompanying supervision. Key words: family mediation, education, number of teaching hours, content of education

COPARENTING: DETERMINATION, CHARACTERISTICS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR FAMILY MEDIATION ABSTRACT The definition, conceptualization and the first research studies of coparenting appeared in the beginning of this century, and ever since this process of mutual enterprise of two or more persons who co-operate in the upbringing of a child for whom they share responsibility has aroused a considerable research interest. The primary aim of this review is to present the existing understandings of coparenting as an important family process which influences the entire family, and which is of particular developmental importance for the children. An additional aim is to point to the implications of the united knowledge about coparenting on the family mediation practice in the Republic of Croatia in order to contribute to its development and scientific foundation. The first part of the review represents the theoretical origins for understanding the coparenting, as well as the results of the domestic and foreign research on the connection between coparenting and the characteristics of parental behaviour and the child’s psychosocial adjustment and the specific features of the coparenting after divorce are examined. The second part of the review discusses the implications of the presented knowledge on coparenting for family mediation, which is recognised as a method which is appropriate for helping families in which there are conflicts and problems in various domains of coparenting. The empirical foundation of the need to expand the area of mediation beyond divorce is emphasised, as well as for the development of different models of family mediation practice and for the usage of preventive mediation in the construction of quality family relationships in two-parent families. The importance of the possibility to integrate scientific knowledge on coparenting into the system of knowledge and skills of family mediators is pointed out. Key words: coparenting,parenting, divorce, family mediation.

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF THE SUPERVISION OF FAMILY MEDIATORS WITHIN THE SOCIAL WELFARE SYSTEM ABSTRACT In the introduction of the paper, the need for the supervision of family mediators is described, and the key characteristics of the educational and method supervision are presented, as well as the models of apprenticeship as modern forms of supervisory monitoring of the acquisition of additional professional competencies in the context of the helping professions, especially mediation. The paper presents supervision conducted with the family mediators who work within the social welfare system through two supervisory cycles. The aims of the supervision were to contribute to the integration of their knowledge and skills, to monitor and analyse the direct work on mediation cases and to promote the development of professional identity of family mediators in order to increase the quality of work with the clients during the application of mediation as a psychosocial intervention and a more recent social service. The contents and topics of the supervisory work have been presented through individual supervisory questions (feelings of mediators, workplace, principles of mediation, beliefs and prejudices), then through professional and educational questions significant for all supervisees (the role of mediators, usage of concrete knowledge and interventions, specific forms of mediation, implementation of mediation, special circumstances, supervisory competencies), and finally through organisational difficulties related to the implementation of mediation (introduction to family mediation, legislative framework and rules, the experience of a lack of understanding). Specific supervisory challenges with regard to the group composition, manners of work and competence of the supervisor for the implementation of the educational and/or method supervision in this area of work with the families have been described. In the conclusion, the similarities and differences between the educational and method supervision have been discussed, as well as some elements of the apprenticeship model. Key words: educational supervision, method supervision, cognitive apprenticeship model, family mediation, development of competencies of family mediators.
A Practical Guide to Updating Beliefs From Contradictory Evidence
Authors: Sadler Evan
Published: January 2021

We often make high stakes choices based on complex information that we have no way to verify. Careful Bayesian reasoning—assessing every reason why a claim could be false or misleading—is not feasible, so we necessarily act on faith: we trust certain sources and treat claims as if they were direct observations of payoff relevant events. This creates a challenge when trusted sources conflict: Practically speaking, is there a principled way to update beliefs in response to contradictory claims? I propose a model of belief formation along with several updating axioms. An impossibility theorem shows there is no obvious best answer, while a representation theorem delineates the boundary of what is possible.
