Donne che corrono sulla montagna. I primi romanzi di Tsushima Yūko (1947-2016)
Authors: Orsi Maria Teresa
Published: October 2024

A significant portion of Tsushima Yūko’s body of work, particularly her early novels that brought her fame – Chōji (Child of Fortune, 1978), Hikari no ryōbun (Territory of Light, 1979), Yama o hashiru onna (The Woman Running on the Mountain, 1980), and Danmari ichi (The Silent Traders, 1984) -- while incorporating easily recognisable autobiographical elements, extends the discourse beyond the realm of the ‘private novel’. These works delve into an examination of the paths women (not only Japanese) are compelled to traverse when rejecting the conformity enforced by a social environment that still clings to models that not even the second wave of feminism of the 1970s and 1980s managed to overcome.
The protagonists are predominantly solitary women, driven by a desire to break free from the ‘obligation’ of forming a family, which remains a deeply conditioning necessity. They are keenly aware of the unspoken disapproval directed at divorced women who do not conform to the confines of their original households. Overlapping with this is a resolute yearning for psychological and social independence, a pursuit fraught with challenges yet pursued tenaciously.
Within these narratives, Tsushima Yūko not only draws inspiration from her personal experiences but also expands upon the image of that central ‘self’ – the core of the story. She diversifies their experiences beyond the foundational substance and, most importantly, leaves room for imagination in the dual dimensions of individual dreams and the collective fantasy expressed through myths and legends.
La Giustizia è donna
Authors: Colombo Giorgio Fabio
Published: October 2024

During the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan, ghost stories flourished. Some of these stories are particularly interesting for jurists analysing the Tokugawa legal system through the lens of popular culture.
This article examines one of these stories: the tale of a servant who is killed by the hands of an unjust lord and returns as a ghost constitutes a faithful depiction of the tension between law and justice under the Tokugawa. The story shows, albeit indirectly, how the legal system was unable to provide justice for the lower strata of the population. Finally, the ghost itself plays a distinctive and important role in the collective imaginary as an agent of justice in the Edo period.
Identità religiose tra convivenza e conflitto. Per una lettura psicosociale de I guardiani dell’aria di Rūzā Yāsīn Ḥasan
Authors: La Spisa Paolo
Published: October 2024

Rosa Yasin Hasan's novel Guardians of the Air (2009) offers a glimpse into Syrian society prior to the revolution and civil war that devastated the country for over a decade. The novel's central character, Anat, works as a translator at the Canadian embassy in Damascus, allowing her to navigate the interfaith divisions among different religious communities.
Acknowledging literature's distinctive ability to mirror reality (Orlando 2007), this article employs a social psychology lens to analyse the novel. Through this perspective, the social and psychological dynamics among the characters are explored. The story revolves around characters who confront the challenges of a tightly compartmentalised society, resembling that of Syria under the Asad regime, where crossing the borders between religious and ethnic communities can be perilous.

Does Ethics Presuppose Religion? A Levinasian Perspective
Authors: Tjaya Thomas Hidya
Published: October 2024

Levinas’s fundamental thought about ethics as the questioning of the I by the other earns him a unique position among moral philosophers who usually analyze the good-and-bad principles of a moral action. Levinas places such questioning on the idea of metaphysics as desire for the InÞnite that leads to the responsibility for the Other. With such an idea about ethics, one may ask whether Levinas’s thought is rooted in religion. This article purports to analyze the question by analyzing how Levinas understands the relationship between ethics and religion and whether his ethics is nothing but religion. Using the phenomenological method and textual analysis, the author shows that the answer to these questions is inherently complex. For Levinas, true ethics is fundamentally religious, and conversely, a true religion is fundamentally ethical. All this is manifested, among others, in the acknowledgment of the transcendence of the Other and the refusal to all forms of totalization.
Abstrak
Pemikiran fundamental Levinas mengenai etika sebagai pemertanyaan atas sang Aku oleh Yang Lain menempatkannya pada posisi unik di kalangan Þlsuf moral yang biasanya membahas prinsip baik-buruk sebuah tindakan moral. Levinas menempatkan pemertanyaan ini pada gagasan metaÞsika seperti hasrat terhadap Yang Tak Terbatas yang membawa kepada rasa tanggung jawab terhadap orang lain. Gagasan demikian dengan mudah menimbulkan pertanyaan apakah etika Levinas berakar pada agama. Artikel ini hendak menjawab pertanyaan tersebut dengan mendalami bagaimana Levinas memahami hubungan antara etika dan agama serta apakah etikanya tak lain merupakan sebuah agama. Menggunakan metode fenomenologi dan analisis tekstual, penulis menunjukkan bahwa jawaban atas pertanyaan tersebut secara inheren bersifat sangat kompleks. Bagi Levinas, etika sejati secara fundamental bersifat religius, dan demikian pula, agama sejati secara fundamental bersifat etis. Hal ini terungkap antara lain dalam pengakuan atas transendensi Yang Lain dan penolakan atas segala bentuk totalisasi.
Kata-kata Kunci: etika, agama, transendensi, Yang Lain, totalisasi, Yang Tak Terbatas.

THE SECOND WORLD WAR IN THE EASTERN INDIAN FRINGES: THE CASE OF TRIPURA
Authors: Rohan Ray
Published: October 2024

From the dawn of human civilization, the history of mankind has recorded multiple events of conflicts, battles & wars. But it has never witnessed something destructive & devasting like World War II (1939 -1945). This global conflict between Allied & Axis powers lasted for 2191 days, involving as many as 110 million armed soldiers from 72 nations. At least 50 million people lost their lives in this great war among them 28 million were innocent civilians. Major cities across Europe and Asia, including Berlin, London, Warsaw, Tokyo, and Hiroshima, were extensively bombed and reduced to rubble. In the initial stage, the war was only confined to European nations though their colonies in Asia & Africa were indirectly affected severely. But with time, the African colonies caught fire from this war and in later stages, it spread all over Asia. India, being a British colony at that time was pushed into the war by its colonial masters who looked over the will of Indian masses. The British Government exploited India's valuable resources and labour force for the War preparations. The heat of the war also reached Tripura, a small princely state under the British Suzerainty. The involvement of Japan in the Second World War and its hasty advancement on the eastern front changed the whole scenario of the war from the Indian perspective. The fall of Burma at the hands of the Japanese brought the war to the very door of India. As a result, Tripura and the northeastern region fell under the direct threat of the Japanese offensive. In this paper, I have attempted to sketch a picture of Princely Tripura of that time concerning the Second World War. Here I have discussed extensively about the threat of Japanese invasion, economic strains, military organizations, war preparations, and other administrative activities in the state, all centred around the Second World War. In the middle of the war, the Congress-led ‘Augst movement’ or ‘Quite India movement’ increased difficulties for the trouble-torn British Raj. The turmoil created all over the country by the ‘Quite India Movement’ also impacted the state of Tripura. Here I also tried to track down the events related to the ‘Quite India Movement’ in Tripura during the war and how the ruling class of princely Tripura met those challenges. In a nutshell, through this paper, an attempt has been made to shed light on the relevant events, that took place in princely Tripura during the Second World War and analyse different events & developments related to it from various socio-economic and political aspects. Nevertheless, this paper is a small initiative for the history enthusiast to enhance the understanding of the role of Tripura in a global phenomenon like World War II and to reconstruct the events in a systematic way to conduct further study.

Walker-Breaker Games on $G_{n,p}$
Authors: Clemens Dennis , Gupta Pranshu , Mogge Yannick
Published: October 2024

The Maker-Breaker connectivity game and Hamilton cycle game belong to the best studied games in positional games theory, including results on biased games, games on random graphs and fast winning strategies. Recently, the Connector-Breaker game variant, in which Connector has to claim edges such that her graph stays connected throughout the game, as well as the Walker-Breaker game variant, in which Walker has to claim her edges according to a walk, have received growing attention.For instance, London and Pluhár studied the threshold bias for the Connector-Breaker connectivity game on a complete graph $K_n$, and showed that there is a big difference between the cases when Maker's bias equals $1$ or $2$. Moreover, a recent result by the first and third author as well as Kirsch shows that the threshold probability $p$ for the $(2:2)$ Connector-Breaker connectivity game on a random graph $G\sim G_{n,p}$ is of order $n^{-2/3+o(1)}$. We extent this result further to Walker-Breaker games and prove that this probability is also enough for Walker to create a Hamilton cycle.
The Chromatic Symmetric Function of a Graph Centred at a Vertex
Authors: Aliniaeifard Farid , Wang Victor , Van Willigenburg Stephanie
Published: October 2024

We discover new linear relations between the chromatic symmetric functions of certain sequences of graphs and apply these relations to find new families of $e$-positive unit interval graphs. Motivated by the results of Gebhard and Sagan, we revisit their ideas and reinterpret their equivalence relation in terms of a new quotient algebra of NCSym. We investigate the projection of the chromatic symmetric function $Y_G$ in noncommuting variables in this quotient algebra, which defines $y_{G : v}$, the chromatic symmetric function of a graph $G$ centred at a vertex $v$. We then apply our methods to $y_{G : v}$ and find new families of unit interval graphs that are $(e)$-positive, a stronger condition than classical $e$-positivity, thus confirming new cases of the $(3+1)$-free conjecture of Stanley and Stembridge.
In our study of $y_{G : v}$, we also describe methods of constructing new $e$-positive graphs from given $(e)$-positive graphs and classify the $(e)$-positivity of trees and cut vertices. We moreover construct a related quotient algebra of NCQSym to prove theorems relating the coefficients of $y_{G : v}$ to acyclic orientations of graphs, including a noncommutative refinement of Stanley's sink theorem.
Layered Subgraphs of the Hypercube
Authors: Behague Natalie , Leader Imre , Morrison Natasha , Williams Kada
Published: October 2024

A subgraph of the $n$-dimensional hypercube is called 'layered' if it is a subgraph of a layer of some hypercube. In this paper we show that there exist subgraphs of the cube of arbitrarily large girth that are not layered. This answers a question of Axenovich, Martin and Winter. Perhaps surprisingly, these subgraphs may even be taken to be induced.
Application of Sumudu Transform and New Iterative Method to Solve Certain Nonlinear Ordinary Caputo Fractional Differential Equations
Authors: Singh Amandeep , Pippal Sarita
Published: October 2024

By combining the new iteration method (NIM) and Sumudu transform (ST) methods, together known as the new iteration ST method (NISTM), a semi-analytical or series solution for various fractional differential equations, in which new iteration method (NIM) is used to decompose the nonlinear operator prior to performing the ST, is produced in this script. Using the Caputo sense to account for the fractional derivative, this method computes series solutions for a variety of nonlinear fractional differential equation instances. While in many convergence issues a solution is achieved for just a small number of series terms, our series solution merges with the exact solution differential equation of fractional order in many example problems.
Laboratoryjna redukcja próbek średnich - porównanie efektywności trzech metod mechanicznych i trzech metod ręcznych
Authors: Niemyski Krzysztof
Published: October 2024

Autor przedstawia wyniki numeryczne redukcji nadesłanych próbek przeprowadzonej za pomocą trzech metod mechanicznych: rozdzielacza Boernera o małych rozmiarach, rozdzielaczy glebowych 12 i 8 kanałowych oraz trzech metod ręcznych: łyżki okrągłej, szpatułki i metody łyżki ISTA 1976.Przeprowadzono wielokrotne redukcje próbek syntetycznych czterech mieszanek, których głównymi składnikami były nasiona następujących gatunków: mieszanka A - Phleum pratense, mieszanki B i C - Trifolium pratense, mieszanka D - Lolium perenne. Nasiona wskaźnikowe dodawane w ilościach reprezentujących trzy poziomy zanieczyszczeń składały się z nasion: w mieszance A Lolium perenne, mieszance B - Phleum pratense, w mieszance C - Rumex acetosa, w mieszance D - Phleum pratense.Porównawczo najlepszą wydajność redukcji uzyskano przy użyciu rozdzielacza glebowego 12 kanałowego. Na drugim miejscu znalazł się model 8-kanałowy i metoda łyżki ISTA 1976, na trzecim - rozdzielacz Boernera. Metody okrągłej łyżki i szpatułki były całkowicie niewystarczające.Analiza statystyczna wykorzystująca obliczenia chi-kwadrat i obliczenie różnic między indywidualnymi wartościami oczekiwanymi i uzyskanymi wynikami w porównaniu z tolerancjami podanymi w podręczniku ISTA wykazała, że redukcja laboratoryjna wszystkimi metodami nadal podlega nadmiernym wahaniom. Redukcja mieszanek A i D, reprezentujących mieszanki składników różniących się maksymalnie pod względem kształtu i wielkości, prowadzi do zbyt dużego rozproszenia indywidualnych wyników, nawet gdy redukcja została przeprowadzona za pomocą 12-kanałowego rozdzielacza glebowego.Wyniki badań pokazują, że laboratoryjne metody redukcji nadal wymagają udoskonalenia, głównie gdy próbki do podziału mają składniki o różnej wielkości i innych cechach. W przypadku stosunkowo jednorodnych mieszanek, zawierających składniki stosunkowo równe pod względem wielkości i kształtu, redukcja za pomocą 12- lub 8-kanałowego rozdzielacza lub metody łyżki ISTA jest całkiem zadowalająca.
Badania nad odpornością odmian botanicznych owsa głuchego (Avena fatua L.) na herbicydy z grupy inhibitorów ACC-azy
Authors: Stokłosa Agnieszka , Kieć Jacek
Published: October 2024

W pracy porównywano odporność sześciu odmian botanicznych owsa głuchego (Avena fatua L.) na fenoksaprop-P-etyl i dichlofop metyl. Materiał roślinny zgromadzono z pól uprawnych Polski południowo-wschodniej, na których odnotowano spadek skuteczności stosowanych herbicydów. Wykonano doświadczenie laboratoryjne, w którym podkiełkowane ziarniaki chwastu rosły przez 6 dni na wodnym roztworze herbicydu. Po tym czasie oceniono ilość żywych siewek i długość ich koleoptyla. W latach 2003–2004 przeprowadzono doświadczenia mikropoletkowe. Rośliny chwastu w fazie 3-4 liści opryskano polowymi dawkami herbicydów (55,2g s.a. ha-1 fenoksaprop-P-etylu oraz 720g s.a. ha-1 dichlofop metylu), a następnie oceniono stopień uszkodzeń liści, procent kwitnących roślin i masę ziarniaków. Na badanym terenie stwierdzono występowanie odpornych odmian botanicznych chwastu. Jednakże, w zależności od warunków badań, poziom odporności był zróżnicowany. W warunkach polowych czynniki atmosferyczne modyfikowały stopień odporności odmian na oba herbicydy.
Polski handel zagraniczny ziemniakami i przetworami ziemniaczanymi po integracji z Unią Europejską
Authors: Dzwonkowski Wiesław
Published: October 2024

Akcesja Polski do UE zmieniła ekonomiczne uwarunkowania polskiego rolnictwa, jak również handlu artykułami rolno-spożywczymi. W wyniku integracji nastąpiło zniesienie w obrotach z innymi państwami członkowskimi ceł oraz wszystkich innych środków, mogących zakłócać swobodny handel produktami rolno-żywnościowymi na obszarze poszerzonej Wspólnoty. Polska uzyskała swobodny dostęp do rynku ok. 450 mln konsumentów, otwierając jednocześnie polski rynek. Przeprowadzona analiza ma na celu przybliżenie podstawowych skutków integracji w handlu zagranicznym ziemniakami i przetworami ziemniaczanymi. Bezpośrednim skutkiem akcesji i otwarcia rynku jest znaczący wzrost importu przetworów ziemniaczanych, w tym przede wszystkim produktów skrobiowych. W pierwszym roku po akcesji bardzo istotnie zwiększył się również przywóz ziemniaków nieprzetworzonych. Po stronie eksportu nastąpił również wzrost obrotów, ale skala przyrostu nie była aż tak znacząca. Natomiast niepokojąco obniżyła się sprzedaż na rynki zagraniczne ziemniaków do bezpośredniej konsumpcji. W konsekwencji w pierwszym roku po akcesji nastąpiło wyraźne pogorszenie bilansu w obrotach handlu zagranicznego ziemniakami i ich przetworami. W sezonie 2005/06 nastąpiła poprawa sytuacji w handlu zagranicznym produktami sektora ziemniaczanego. Z punktu widzenia dłuższej perspektywy integracja z UE niesie w tym zakresie jednak więcej szans niż zagrożeń, co będzie w najbliższych latach skutkować przede wszystkim wzrostem eksportu przetworów ziemniaczanych, a w konsekwencji poprawą bilansu obrotów handlowych w tym sektorze.
Produkcyjne i ekonomiczne efekty różnej intensywności uprawy ziemniaka odmiany Ania
Authors: Borówczak Franciszek , Rębarz Katarzyna
Published: October 2024

W doświadczeniach przeprowadzonych w latach 1997–2000 badano wpływ deszczowania, technologii uprawy i nawożenia azotem na plony bulw i efekty ekonomiczne uprawy ziemniaków. Wraz ze wzrostem dawek azotu do 120 kg/ha, plon bulw zwiększał się zarówno na polu deszczowanym jak niedeszczowanym, jednak w warunkach deszczowania ich przyrosty były większe. Deszczowanie, średnio dla pozostałych czynników, zwiększyło plon o 19,8%. Najbardziej opłacalną w obu wariantach wodnych, przy średnim nawożeniu azotowym, okazała się uprawa ziemniaków technologią wysokonakładową. Deszczowanie zwiększyło nadwyżkę bezpośrednią, bez pomniejszania jej o koszty zabiegu, o 1967,1 zł/ha.

Zorza, pietruszki korzeniowej odm. Berlińska PNE, marchwi jadalnej odm. Perfekcja GOF i cebuli zwyczajnej odm. Wolska jak również na plon korzeni marchwi jadalnej i główek cebuli zwyczajnej. Nasiona poddano obróbce promieniami lasera helowo-neonowego (He-Ne) emitującego wiązkę promieni czerwonych o długości fali 632,8 nm i mocy 4 mW/cm2. W badaniach zastosowano 5 wariantów naświetleń: wariant kontrolny (bez biostymulacji) i 4 warianty z biostymulacją (krotność naświetleń: 2, 4, 6 i 8). W laboratorium określono: energię i zdolność kiełkowania oraz procent nienormalnie kiełkujących, twardych i martwych nasion wszystkich badanych gatunków roślin. W polu określono produkcyjność roślin z poletka oraz obsadę roślin na 1 m2 (marchew, cebula). Wszystkie dawki przedsiewnego naświetlania nasion istotnie wpłynęły na przyrost masy główek cebuli zebranych z mikropoletek, a w przypadku marchwi podobnie działały na przyrost masy korzeni dawki 2-krotna i 4-krotna. Wszystkie warianty przedsiewnego naświetlania poprawiały wartość siewną nasion wszystkich badanych gatunków roślin. Ponad to wpływały na wzrost energii i zdolności kiełkowania tylko nasion cebuli i papryki, powodując jednoczesny ubytek udziału siewek anormalnych cebuli. Natomiast dawki 2-krotna i 4-krotna wpływały na poprawę zdolności kiełkowania nasion kalafiora i marchwi, a 4-krotna obniżała wartość tej cechy w przypadku pietruszki. Wartość siewna badanych gatunków nasion poddawanych obróbce promieniami lasera była zróżnicowana i zależała od gatunku rośliny i krotności naświetleń.

Authors: Potts Mistie L.
Published: October 2024

Recent research has shifted from merely identifying established inequities to focusing on actionable solutions in gifted education, particularly for Black students. Researchers have offered insights into equitable access for Black students, while others have emphasized the need for diversification and culturally relevant improvements in gifted programs. With a practical approach, this Qualitative Evidence Synthesis integrates findings to propose strategies for fostering equity in gifted education underscoring the necessity for a collaborative, functional guide to improve gifted education. Addressing this need, the study draws on prior research findings to present five specific recommendations for school districts aiming to design inclusive and equitable gifted programs. These recommendations focus on comprehensive policy changes, professional development, curriculum reform, identification processes, and community engagement.
Sepsis-associated liver injury: Mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets
Authors: Chen Jia-Wen , Liu Chen-Yi , Li Shu , Wu Shi-Wen , Cai Chao , Lu Ming-Qin
Published: October 2024

In this editorial, we examined a recent article in the World Journal of Gastroenterology that focused on sepsis-associated liver injury (SLI) and its treatment. SLI is a serious complication of sepsis, primarily caused by microcirculatory disturbances, the gut-liver axis, and inflammatory responses. Specific treatment recommendations for SLI are lacking. The gut-liver axis represents a potential therapeutic target, with metformin showing promise in modulating the gut microbiome and enhancing intestinal barrier function. Although immunomodulatory therapies are being explored, anti-tumor necrosis factor agents and interleukin-1 receptor antagonists have not demonstrated significant clinical benefits. Statins may reduce liver inflammation and prevent injury in sepsis, but their clinical application is limited. Reduced D-related human leucocyte antigen expression on monocytes and lymphocytes suggests immune suppression in patients, indicating that corticosteroids could reverse clinical deterioration in severe infections and address adrenal cortical insufficiency. Current large-scale studies on glucocorticoid therapy for sepsis have yielded mixed results, likely due to inadequate assessment of the immune status of the host. Future research should prioritize the development of personalized immunotherapy tailored to patients’ immune profiles, focusing on identifying novel indicators of immune status and advancing immunomodulatory targets and therapeutics for septic patients.
Esophageal melanosis: Two case reports and review of literature
Authors: Kazacheuskaya Liubou , Arora Kshitij
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Esophageal melanosis (EM) is a rare condition characterized by melanin pigmentation in the esophageal mucosa. It is not well understood and has been documented in less than 100 cases worldwide.

CASE SUMMARY

We report two cases of African American patients who complained of significant weight loss (over 20 pounds in approximately six months) and abdominal pain during their first visit. The first case involves a 54-year female with a history of hepatic steatosis and polysubstance abuse, who also experiences nausea and vomiting. The second case is a 59-year-old male with hypertension and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), who was diagnosed with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Both cases show benign melanocytes in the basal layer on the esophagus biopsy and are diagnosed as EM.

CONCLUSION

It is important to note that EM has been associated with malignancies such as carcinoma and melanoma. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial. Patients with EM, especially those with concurrent risk factors (e.g. , GERD, smoking), should be carefully monitored for any signs of malignancy.
Anthomyza gilviventris in Palaearctic Region: integrative taxonomy, variability and habitat associations of North European population (Diptera: Anthomyzidae)
Authors: Roháček Jindřich , Hellqvist Sven , ŠPALEK Tóthová Andrea
Published: October 2024

Anthomyza gilviventris Roháček & Barber, 2016, hitherto known only from the Nearctic Region, is recorded from the Palaearctic Region (NE Sweden) for the first time. Specimens from the Swedish population have been compared with those of A. gilviventris from Canada and the USA and those of A. tschirnhausi Roháček, 2009 from the Kamchatka Peninsula (Far East of Russia). Both morphological and molecular analyses (BI and RAxML, based on seven DNA markers: 12S, 16S, 28S, COI, COII, CytB, ITS2) confirmed that the Swedish specimens belong to A. gilviventris. Because no specimen of A. tschirnhausi has been available for molecular study, the most diagnostic morphological characters used for separation of this species from A. gilviventris have been re-evaluated with respect to Swedish specimens, and their variability discussed. However, these differences, although stable, are relatively small and, consequently, the possibility that they fall within the limits of a single variable species has not been entirely eliminated. New biological information (habitat and host-plant associations) on the Swedish population of A. gilviventris is presented.
Prediction in reading: A review of predictability effects, their theoretical implications, and beyond
Authors: Wong Roslyn , Reichle Erik D. , Veldre Aaron
Published: October 2024

Historically, prediction during reading has been considered an inefficient and cognitively expensive processing mechanism given the inherently generative nature of language, which allows upcoming text to unfold in an infinite number of possible ways. This article provides an accessible and comprehensive review of the psycholinguistic research that, over the past 40 or so years, has investigated whether readers are capable of generating predictions during reading, typically via experiments on the effects of predictability (i.e., how well a word can be predicted from its prior context). Five theoretically important issues are addressed: What is the best measure of predictability? What is the functional relationship between predictability and processing difficulty? What stage(s) of processing does predictability affect? Are predictability effects ubiquitous? What processes do predictability effects actually reflect? Insights from computational models of reading about how predictability manifests itself to facilitate the reading of text are also discussed. This review concludes by arguing that effects of predictability can, to a certain extent, be taken as demonstrating evidence that prediction is an important but flexible component of real-time language comprehension, in line with broader predictive accounts of cognitive functioning. However, converging evidence, especially from concurrent eye-tracking and brain-imaging methods, is necessary to refine theories of prediction.
Copper-catalyzed yne-allylic substitutions: concept and recent developments
Authors: Yang Shuang , Fang Xinqiang
Published: October 2024

The catalytic (asymmetric) allylation and propargylation have been established as powerful strategies allowing access to enantioenriched α-chiral alkenes and alkynes. In this context, combining allylic and propargylic substitutions offers new opportunities to expand the scope of transition metal-catalyzed substitution reactions. Since its discovery in 2022, copper-catalyzed yne-allylic substitution has undergone rapid development and significant progress has been made using the key copper vinyl allenylidene intermediates. This review summarizes the developments and illustrates the influences of copper salt, ligand, and substitution pattern of the substrate on the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity.

A Statistical Modelling for Dropout Patterns of College Students : Focusing on H University
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Kyungho , Yeon Kyupil
Published: October 2024

This study was conducted to analyze dropout patterns of H University students and construct a prediction model for churning of students. Keeping a high enrollment rate of students in a local university is very important for its sustainability and survival, which forced us to develop a good explainable predictive model for dropout probabilities of each student. We applied a mixed effect logistic regression model in order to predict a dropout probability based on 11 explanatory variables such as admission type of processes, first semester grades, total admission scores, category of high schools, and departments of application, etc. The constructed model tells us that department of application is a significant variable as a random effect on which fixed effects for total admission scores and first semester grades should be interpreted differently. The main finding is that in each department the proposed model was able to discriminate a high-probabilistic dropout student although they have showed a good performance in total admission scores and first semester grades. It is highly expected that our model can be effectively applied to manage the dropout rates and enhance the enrollment rates of the students.
A study on sparse k-means clustering for histogram-valued data
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Seo Bo Bae , Yoon Young Joo
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we investigate a sparse k-means clustering method for histogram-valued data. The distances between histogram-valued observations are defined using the Wasserstein-Kantorovich distances to group p-dimensional histogram-valued data. Clustering is performed using the sparse k-means clustering method with the distance matrix computed for each dimension. The proposed method maximizes the weighted sums of squared distances between clusters. For various value of k, we apply the sparse k-means clustering method and determine the optimal number of clusters with the Silhouette measure. Simulation studies were conducted to compare the proposed method with the standard k-means clustering method in terms of cluster agreement and selected variables. Additionally, we analyzed real data from the monthly average temperatures of 48 US states. As a result of numerical analysis, it was confirmed that the proposed method shows superior performance and effective variable selection.
A Study on the Market Segmentation of Festival Visitors according to the Festival Motivation: Focusing on the Seorak Cultural Festival
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Kim Young Pyo
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to find out what the motivation factors for visiting the festival are for visitors who participated in the Gangwon State Seorak cultural festival and to divide festival visitors based on the derived motivation factors for visiting the festival. Factor analysis, cluster analysis, and ANOVA analysis were used as research analysis. As a result of performing factor analysis on 14 festival visit motivation items, four factors (novelty, escape, family affinity, and sociability) were derived. Through market segmentation analysis, visitors who attended the festival were classified into three groups. Cluster 1 was a group of 88 people (25.7%) out of the total survey respondents of 349, and was a group of general festival visitors who showed a little curiosity about the festival. It called as ‘common festival visitor’. Cluster 2 was 131 people (38.3%) and had strong ties with families. It called as ‘family festival visitor’. Cluster 3 was an enthusiastic festival visitor 123 people (36.0%) that actively accepts all parts of tourism motivation. It called as ‘enthusiastic festival visitor’. In result, cluster 2, and Cluster 3 were derived as major target to developing marketing strategies and several recommendation were suggested.
Construcción de un Instrumento de Medición para el Autocuidado en Profesionales de Enfermería. Reflexión del Autocuidado: Aprender a Cuidarse para Poder Cuidar
Authors: Otero Munala Andrea Dayana , Jurado Torres Valeria Abigail , González Naranjo David Eduardo
Published: October 2024

El estudio aborda el autocuidado en el personal de enfermería, destacando la necesidad de crear un instrumento para medir su nivel. Los objetivos incluyen la elaboración de esta herramienta a partir de una revisión bibliográfica y el análisis de factores como salud, alimentación, descanso y carga laboral. Se utilizó una metodología mixta con una fase cualitativa para desarrollar el contenido y una cuantitativa para evaluar las propiedades métricas del instrumento. El análisis se basó en modelos existentes de autocuidado y se centró en aspectos como la salud física, mental y el tiempo libre. Los resultados, obtenidos de la evaluación de 20 artículos científicos, revelan que el autocuidado entre enfermeros es insuficiente, afectando su salud, rendimiento laboral y bienestar personal, además de contribuir a altos niveles de estrés. La implementación del instrumento en entornos clínicos y académicos podría mejorar la calidad de vida de los enfermeros y, a su vez, la atención a los pacientes. Futuras investigaciones podrían explorar su aplicación en diferentes contextos y culturas, así como su impacto a largo plazo en la salud y desempeño del personal de enfermería.

Published: October 2024

La resistencia a la insulina (RI) juega un papel crucial en el desarrollo de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y está relacionada con un mayor riesgo de padecer enfermedades del corazón. Para evaluar la RI y la función de las células beta del páncreas, se utilizan dos índices: HOMA-IR y HOMA-IR CP. Este estudio se propuso comparar la efectividad de ambos índices en la detección de RI y su relación con los niveles de lípidos en personas aparentemente sanas. El estudio incluyó a 30 participantes, a quienes se les tomaron muestras de sangre en ayunas para medir los niveles de glucosa, insulina y péptido C, y se calcularon los valores de HOMA-IR y HOMA-IR CP. Luego, se compararon ambos índices utilizando un análisis gráfico y se determinó qué tan bien se correlacionaban entre sí. Además, se analizaron los niveles de colesterol total (CT), triglicéridos (TGL), HDL colesterol (HDL-C) y LDL colesterol (LDL-C) en los participantes, diferenciando entre aquellos con y sin resistencia a la insulina.
Los resultados revelaron que la correlación entre HOMA-IR y HOMA-IR CP es baja. HOMA-IR identificó la RI en el 43.3% de los participantes, mientras que HOMA-IR CP lo hizo en el 76.6%, lo que sugiere que HOMA-IR CP es más sensible para detectar RI, incluso en personas sin diabetes o con glucosa normal. Además, se encontró que niveles altos de triglicéridos y LDL-C se relacionan con un mayor riesgo de RI, mientras que los niveles de HDL-C eran más bajos en aquellos con resistencia a la insulina. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de considerar tanto los niveles de lípidos como el índice HOMA-IR CP en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la RI, sugiriendo que HOMA-IR CP podría ser una herramienta más efectiva que HOMA-IR para detectar RI, especialmente en personas sin alteraciones visibles en sus niveles de glucosa.
