In recent years, the perspectives of political minorities committed to a critical, plural and intersectional antispeciesism have been increasingly visible. These perspectives invite us to rethink how the category of "animality" has been a place under which those bodies defined as appropriable and that can be discarded, namely, queer, lesbian, bisexual, intersex, indigenous, trans*, black, sick, peasant, fat, psychodiverse, non-humans-animals, and other subalternized existences and bodies. Even so, some animalist movements show difficulties in addressing the conexions between the animal liberation movement and other anti-oppressive perspectives, or, in the case of doing so, start from abstract and reductionist analogical comparisons that reproduce the most varied forms of oppression. Given this scenario, this article aims to show the relevance of thinking about a decolonial, anti-racist, anti-ableist and transfeminist animalism that opens spaces for multiple forms of life, subjectivities and other bodies. To this end, the framework of the intersection between critical animal studies, transfeminisms, decolonial critiques and disability studies will show that a structural understanding of speciesism allows access to a more comprehensive perspective on the ways in which it is it intersects and links with non-identical logics of gendering, racialization and ableism. Finally, based on the notion of "wild alliances' formed to make visible the importance of configuring common resistance between different political struggles, in order to create the conditions to think and articulate of more livable worlds for political minorities, including other animals.

Published: April 2024

A new way was used to modify the thermal, electrical, optical, and
antimicrobial properties of polyaniline by embedding a nanosized metal
in the polymeric matrix. The sequence of fabrication was as follows:
first, preparing a silver colloid by gamma-irradiating the precursor and
then, aniline was polymerized in the colloid using different molarities
of dopant and silver. The obtained Ag colloid and the polymer / Ag
nanocomposites (NCs) were studied for their properties using TGA,
electrical measurements, UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, TEM, SEM, DLS, SAED,
and EDX. The particle size of the Ag colloid is ranged from 7 to 17 nm.
The conductivity of NCs increased with increasing dopant, while an
unexpected reduction of conductivity was obtained with the increase of
Ag content due to some agglomerations. All the prepared NCs exhibited
medium to high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and
Staphylococcus aureus reaching the maximum efficiency at PANI: Ag:
dopant molar ratio of 1:1:0.83. Also, an electrostatic interaction has
been generated between the polyaniline chains and the free electrons
around Ag NPs leading to a conjugating electron cloud in the produced
NCs. This electronic behavior facilitates the use of the prepared NCs as
supercapacitors, sensors, photocatalysts, or antibacterial materials.
Pd(0)-Catalyzed Three-Component [2+2+1] Cycloamination to Carbazoles
Authors: Shen Mingzhu , Li Min , Yu Jingxun
Published: April 2024

Conventional approaches on using hydroxylamine derivatives as single
nitrogen sources, for the preparation of N-heterocyclic molecules, rely
upon two chemical operations by involving sequential nucleophilic and
electrophilic C−N bond formations. Here, we report a novel Suzuki
reaction/C−H activation/amination sequence for building up a myriad of
carbazoles, in a single transformation, using bifunctional secondary
hydroxylamines. Noteworthy, the synthetic utility of this methodology is
highlighted with the total synthesis of Clausine V and Glycoborine by
incorporating the titled [2+2+1] cycloamination as the key step.
Control experiments were performed to gain a better understanding of the
reaction mechanism.
SMALL-SIGNAL ROTOR ANGLE STABILITY OF MULTI-VIRTUAL SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE (n-VISMA) MICROGRID
Authors: Sanusi Kamilu Alabi , Hans.-Peter Beck
Published: April 2024

With the growing penetration level of inverter-based power sources into
the grid, the impact of low-inertia, damping and deployment of new
controls has raised several questions concerning system stability.
Virtual synchronous machine (VISMA) has been proposed to provide
ancillary services necessary for grid stabilization. In a multi-VISMA
microgrid, rotor angle stability of the power system is dependent on the
active power balance after small perturbation. Using relevant analytical
models are essential issues for microgrid stability analysis. This paper
presents a comprehensive small-signal stability analysis to study
inherent electromechanical oscillations in the virtual-rotors. The
subsystems of the microgrid consisting of VISMA, network and load were
all modelled in Synchronous Reference Frame. The small-signal model
(SSM) was tested on IEEE-9 bus system with VISMA replacing
electromechanical synchronous machines on the network. To validate the
developed numerical analytics, dynamic responses of the SSM are compared
with those of the non-linear system dynamics and the results reveal that
the developed linearized SSM is sufficient to accurately characterize
behaviour of the VISMA microgrid when operated in autonomous mode.
Eigenvalues analysis and parameter sensitivities of the critical modes
were investigated. Oscillatory participations of the VISMAs and steady
stability limit of the microgrid was also carried out.

Published: April 2024

This article explores the factors influencing innovative work behavior (IWB) among academics in the field of education, with a specific focus on STEM teachers. The inquiry adopts the conceptual framework of self-determination theory. A literature review methodology is employed, encompassing an examination of journals, conference papers, theses, and a conceptual approach. Variables in this analysis are delineated and measured in accordance with previous research and recommendations. The findings of this study highlight the significance of intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and job engagement as pivotal characteristics contributing to the cultivation of innovative work behavior among employees. The study's limitations stem from its reliance on a literature review and the analysis of prior research findings to construct a conceptual framework concerning STEM teachers' innovative work behavior. Future empirical research is recommended to comprehensively elucidate additional factors fostering innovative work behavior. The research findings corroborate earlier studies, suggesting that to bolster Malaysia's standing in the Global Innovation Index (GII) and, indirectly, to advance the goals of the NSTIP 2021-2030 aimed at cultivating a technologically proficient society, educational administrators in Malaysia should actively foster teachers' engagement in innovative work behavior activities, leveraging their competencies and strengths. This study provides valuable insights into the individual factors influencing teachers' propensity for innovative work behavior and their potential to enhance Malaysia's education system.
STUDENTS’ ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DARK TRIAD TRAIT
Authors: Anyebe Daniel , Kosmaczewska Joanna
Published: April 2024

Aim: Despite research on how the constellation of the dark triad traits relates to entrepreneurial intention, it still remains to be seen how nuanced such relationships were during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. In this article, we investigate this phenomenon by elaborating on the relations between components of the dark triad traits concerning pull and push factors affecting entrepreneurial intention. Methods: Using 4,056 datasets from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey (GUESSS) 2021 and data on unemployment rates and GDP per capita of 22 European countries, we employed multivariate regression analysis to examine the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention. Results: Our results show that GDP per capita is inversely related to entrepreneurial intention, with statistical significance also found for the unemployment rate and narcissism in their influence on entrepreneurial intention. More so, we found that COVID-19 unlocked the hidden potential of student entrepreneurship for the represented European countries. We also found interesting results on how the intensities of the dark triad influence entrepreneurial intentions. Conclusions: Difficult situations such as COVID-19 might trigger the manifestation of dark triad traits, which – to a greater extent – influence entrepreneurial intentions.
The Cross-Sectoral Technological Interdependencies of Central and Eastern Europe in the Era of Industry 4.0 and Chinese Digital Silk Road
Authors: Cieślik Ewa
Published: April 2024

The concepts of servicification of manufacturing and industry 4.0 gave an opportunity to CEE, which has lost its global value chains position, to intensify the value-added flows of high-tech industries into manufacturing. In turn, Digital Silk Road introduced by China, has a huge impact on diffusion of Chinese advanced services into European manufacturing. Thus, the study aims to understand the flows in the servicification of manufacturing within two most important value-added providers for CEE: Germany and China in the era of industry 4.0 and Chinese Digital Silk Road. The article tried to answer the question: in recent years, there has been a significant change in the advanced servicification of manufacturing in this triangle.
ANTICIPATED FOOD EXPENDITURE ACCORDING TO PERSONALITY TRAITS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN POLAND
Authors: Zielińska-Chmielewska Anna , Mruk-Tomczak Dobrosława , Marks-Bielska Renata
Published: April 2024

Aim: The practical aim of the study is to recognize the changes in consumers’ purchasing patterns according to personality traits, which can be used for higher purposes (e.g., to consciously influence sustainable con­sumption by government agencies on a country level). Methods: The subject scope of the research was the systematic literature review of determinants of food expenditure and the assessment of consumer behavior. The research sample is representative (N = 1,000), and the study met the criterion of representativeness. The article presented only statistically significant dependencies between anticipated changes in food expenditure according to personality traits measured by Big Five analysis. Results: The study’s applicative findings are that there are significant statistical dependencies between different types of personalities along with the gender of a consumer and anticipated food expenditure during the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland. The re­search shows how to restore sustainable consumption in Poland after the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: Thoughtfully crafted food policy strategies, such as subsidizing specific priority food items, can impact the consumption patterns of selected foods. These strategies have the potential to either increase or decrease the intake of particular food items and can exert influence over both the quantity and quality of the food consumed by citizens. State institutions can make beneficial changes in citizens’ diets by subsidizing low-processed and organic foods and/or imposing additional fees on stimulants and unhealthy food items. The research adds val­uable insights to the existing knowledge on food expenditure and consumer behaviors. It also offers practical advice and guidance to effectively support the post-pandemic era in Poland and Europe.
CAN SUBSIDIES DISPLACE THE NEED TO IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY AS A SOURCE OF INCOME MAXIMIZATION? EVIDENCE FROM POLAND
Authors: Pawłowska Aleksandra , Rembisz Wlodzimierz
Published: April 2024

Aim: The article addresses the fundamental issue of agricultural producers’ choice regarding two sources of income maximisation, i.e. economic rent resulting improving labour productivity and political rent as an expression of the institutional conditions in force. In particular, attention is focused on the possible substi­tutability between economic and political rents. Methods: The effect of displacement of economic rent by political rent was measured for Polish farms by economic size class in the period 2008–2015, using inverse probability of treatment weighting, based on a counterfactual approach. Results: The study indicated that despite the fact that farms with improved labour productivity achieved higher incomes, in some years there was a significant displacement effect of the economic rent by the political rent. This meant that significantly higher incomes were earned by inefficient farms whose operations linked to production were supported by agricultural policy instruments than by unsubsidised farms where labour productivity increased. As farm size increased, the need to improve productivity was thus replaced more often and on a larger scale by the use of agricultural policy mechanisms. Conclusions: The results confirmed the conclusions of studies carried out in other countries, thus indicating the possible contribution of agricultural policy to undermining the need to improve productivity as a source of maximising agricultural income. So while farm incomes should be supported, if only because of the persistent disparity between incomes from agriculture and those from other sectors of the economy, there is still room for improvement in the efficiency of public expenditure allocation.

Published: April 2024

Objectives

To identify whether intramaxillary miniscrew anchorage could achieve a better maxillary arch distalization effect in clear aligner treatment compared to Class II elastics.

Materials and Methods

Thirty adult patients with Class II dentition who were treated with whole maxillary arch distalization using clear aligners were collected. Either intramaxillary miniscrew anchorage (miniscrew group, n = 17) or intermaxillary Class II elastics (Class II elastic group, n = 13) were used to support maxillary arch distalization. Three-dimensional predicted and achieved displacements, and angular changes of maxillary posterior teeth and anterior teeth, were measured and compared.

Results

The achieved distalization efficiency was 36.2%–43.9% in the posterior teeth and the retraction efficiency was 36.9%–49.4% in the anterior teeth. No statistically significant differences were found in maxillary arch distalization efficiency between the groups. The miniscrew group achieved less incisor extrusion and posterior tooth distal tipping than the Class II elastic group. Both groups achieved comparable arch expansion, posterior tooth buccal inclination, and anterior tooth lingual inclination.

Conclusions

Intramaxillary miniscrew anchorage and intermaxillary Class II elastics achieved comparable efficiency in maxillary arch distalization. However, the miniscrew anchorage showed better vertical control in anterior teeth and mesiodistal tipping control in posterior teeth.

Authors: Danne Thomas P.A. , Joubert Michael , Hartvig Niels Væver , Kaas Anne , Knudsen Nikoline Nygård , Mader Julia K.
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the association of insulin injection adherence, smart insulin pen engagement, and glycemic control using real-world data from 16 countries from adults self-administering basal insulin degludec and bolus insulin with a smart insulin pen (NovoPen 6 or NovoPen Echo Plus) alongside continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Data were aggregated over 14-day periods. Treatment adherence was defined according to the number of missed basal and missed bolus insulin doses and smart pen engagement according to the number of days with data uploads.

RESULTS

Data from 3,945 adults, including 25,157 14-day periods with ≥70% CGM coverage, were analyzed. On average, 0.2 basal and 6.0 bolus insulin doses were missed over 14 days. The estimated probability of missing at least one basal insulin dose over a 14-day period was 17.6% (95% CI 16.5, 18.7). Missing one basal or bolus insulin dose per 14 days was associated with a significant decrease in percentage of time with glucose levels in range (TIR) (3.9–10.0 mmol/L), of −2.8% (95% CI −3.7, −1.8) and −1.7% (−1.8, −1.6), respectively; therefore, missing two basal or four bolus doses would decrease TIR by >5%. Smart pen engagement was associated positively with glycemic outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

This combined analysis of real-world smart pen and CGM data showed that missing two basal or four bolus insulin doses over a 14-day period would be associated with a clinically relevant decrease in TIR. Smart insulin pens provide valuable insights into treatment injection behaviors.

Published: April 2024

Atopic dermatitis is a cutaneous inflammatory disease characterized by intense pruritus, which is often underestimated despite its direct impact on patients’ health-related quality of life and the high burden it poses. The authors’ goal was to design a qualitative tool to guide patients and healthcare professionals in their assessment and interpretation of pruritus intensity using a numerical rating scale. The draft of this tool, henceforth “guideline”, was developed based on a systematic literature review and focus groups comprising patients and a scientific committee. This draft was validated with an independent group of patients and the final version was designed following their feedback. According to the results of the systematic review, pruritus impacts 6 health-related quality of life domains: sleep quality; emotional status; overall health-related quality of life; physical function; social/sexual activity; productivity, particularly affecting sleep quality and the emotional domain. Patients considered that physical function was the most strongly affected domain, followed by sleep quality and emotional well-being, establishing that a minimum pruritus intensity of 4 and 7 points impacts moderately and severely, respectively, on the different domains of patients’ health- related quality of life. The guideline may help patients and healthcare professionals to interpret and assess pruritus intensity using a numerical rating scale and to understand the impact of pruritus on patients’ health-related quality of life.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the management of village funds in Nagar Ulakan based on Permendagri No. 113/2014 on village financial management. The research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that the management of village funds has only reached the planning stage, while the implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability stages have not been in accordance with the provisions. The main obstacles in village financial management are related to human resources and reporting delays. Efforts made to overcome these obstacles include developing a selection system for lower-level officials, as well as improving education and training. Although the principles of village financial management such as transparency, accountability, and participation have been  ecognized, their implementation has not been effective. Accountability is measured as the obligation to report the management of village funds from beginning to end through periodic reporting. Although Nagari Ulakan refers to Permendagri No. 113 of 2014, the implementation of accountability and transparency of village fund management still needs to be improved.

There are obstacles in estimating environmental dynamics behind its convenience, beginning with the development of effective policies for sustainable urban development. The objectives of this research were to comprehend the ability and performance of ecological indices integration and to identify the spatial distribution of changes from 2018 to 2021 in Pekanbaru City, Riau province, Indonesia. This study employed remote sensing data to create ecological parameters including the build-up index, vegetation index, soil index, and moisture index, as well as principal component analysis to generate ecological index integration. The findings indicate a correlation of over 90% among these parameters from 2018 to 2021. Overall, there has been a significant decrease in the ecological quality index’s high-quality categories, such as good and excellent, covering a total of 19.6% over 127 km². Conversely, the poor ecological quality category increased to 2.2%, encompassing an area of 15 km², up from the initial 21.2% covering 122 km². Additionally, the fair and moderate categories also experienced increases of 4% and 13.4%, respectively, reaching 28 km² and 84 km². The study area’s ecological quality is largely affected by increased anthropogenic activities, leading to a drastic decrease in the presence of ecological quality in the good and excellent categories. The importance of spatial planning is emphasized to incorporate aspects of ecological assessment rather than solely focusing on increasing economic activity. This outcome can be used to respond to the concept of sustainable development by caring for the ecological environment, particularly in urban areas, and mitigating ecological damage.

Research background: Deep and machine learning-based algorithms can assist in COVID-19 image-based medical diagnosis and symptom tracing, optimize intensive care unit admission, and use clinical data to determine patient prioritization and mortality risk, being pivotal in qualitative care provision, reducing medical errors, and increasing patient survival rates, thus diminishing the massive healthcare system burden in relation to severe COVID-19 inpatient stay duration, while increasing operational costs throughout the organizational management of hospitals. Data-driven financial and scenario-based contingency planning, predictive modelling tools, and risk pooling mechanisms should be deployed for additional medical equipment and unforeseen healthcare demand expenses.
Purpose of the article: We show that deep and machine learning-based and clinical decision making systems can optimize patient survival likelihood and treatment outcomes with regard to susceptible, infected, and recovered individuals, performing accurate analyses by data modeling based on vital and clinical signs, surveillance data, and infection-related biomarkers, and furthering hospital facility optimization in terms of intensive care unit bed allocation.
Methods: The review software systems employed for article screening and quality evaluation were: AMSTAR, AXIS, DistillerSR, Eppi-Reviewer, MMAT, PICO Portal, Rayyan, ROBIS, and SRDR.
Findings & value added: Deep and machine learning-based clinical decision support tools can forecast COVID-19 spread, confirmed cases, and infection and mortality rates for data-driven appropriate treatment and resource allocations in effective therapeutic and diagnosis protocol development, by determining suitable measures and regulations and by using symptoms and comorbidities, vital signs, clinical and laboratory data and medical records across intensive care units, impacting the healthcare financing infrastructure. As a result of heightened use of personal protective equipment, hospital pharmacy and medication, outpatient treatment, and medical supplies, revenue loss and financial vulnerability occur, also due to expenses related to hiring additional staff and to critical resource expenditures. Hospital costs for COVID-19 medical care, screening, treatment capacity expansion, and personal protective equipment can lead to further financial losses while affecting COVID-19 frontline hospital workers and patients.

ABSTRACT The study aims to examine more effective leadership styles which are the transformational or transactional leadership that influences on job performance through mediating of knowledge sharing serving as the role of energy resource based on the conservation of resources theory. Because of Pandemic Covid-19, the empirical evidence has come from employees at 1 to 5-star Hotels in Jawa Tengah to test our hypotheses by receiving a duplicate of e-Questionnaire submitting through email and WhatsApp messages by adding the link of google form. The sample was 111 respondents. Based on the results of the Structural Equation Model, transformational leadership does not influence significantly job performance. Furthermore, transactional leadership does not affect significantly job performance. Then, transformational leadership does not influence significantly knowledge sharing. However, transactional leadership affects significantly knowledge sharing. Moreover, knowledge sharing influences significantly job performance. Based on the mediation approach, knowledge sharing mediates between transformational leadership and job performance. In line with the harmony, knowledge sharing mediates transactional leadership and job performance. Therefore, to improve job performance, the organization has to apply the mediation of knowledge sharing between transformational leadership and transactional leadership.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini menguji kepemimpinan yang lebih efektif, apakah kepemimpinan transformasional atau kepemimpinan transaksional yang berpengaruh terhadap kinerja pekerjaan melalui mediasi berbagi pengetahuan yang berperan sebagai sumber energi berdasarkan teori konservasi sumber daya.
