Authors: Surya Egar , Muftiadi Anang , Chan Arianis
Published: May 2024

The present study seeks to examine the extent to which customer perceived value influences repurchase intention among consumers of in-game purchase products in the Genshin Impact game, with a case study conducted on members of the Genshin Impact Official Indonesia group. The research approach employed is quantitative, utilizing a descriptive verification method. The sampling technique involves non-probability sampling, specifically purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, interviews, and literature studies. The data analysis was performed using simple linear regression, a significance test (T-test), and the coefficient of determination (r2). The study population consists of consumers of in-game purchase products in the Genshin Impact game, with a sample size of 120 respondents. The results indicate a significant influence of customer perceived value on repurchase intention among consumers of in-game purchase products in the Genshin Impact game. This implies that the higher the perceived customer perceived value, the greater the repurchase intention exhibited by consumers of in-game purchase products in the Genshin Impact game.

The significance of organic farming in the European Union from the perspective of sustainable development
Authors: Nowak Anna , Kobiałka Anna
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the status of organic farming in the member states of the European Union, drawing on its potential and selected elements of the organic agri-food products market. To this end, we used several partial indicators and a synthetic measure, which allowed us to create a ranking of the member states depending on the development level of organic farming. The survey showed a 50% increase in the utilised agricultural area allocated for organic farming in the EU from 2015 to 2021 and a 69% increase from 2012 to 2021. So far, the only member state to meet the target set by the Green Deal, that is, 25% of organic UAA, has been Austria. Considering the synthetic index, Portugal is a leader of organic farming development. In addition, differences exist between EU member states in consumers’ expenditure on organic products.
Preargumentation Ethics and the Issue of Abortion
Authors: Armoutidis Christos
Published: May 2024

The issue of abortion—and, more broadly, the issue concerning the source of rights or, more precisely, when and why humans acquire or recognize rights—has long vexed libertarians. It’s a complex issue with numerous good-faith and reasonable arguments that lead to differing conclusions. This issue is usually brought up when the topic of abortion is discussed in libertarian circles. This article will attempt to show when and why humans get rights by advancing a theory inspired and implied by Hans-Hermann Hoppe’s “argumentation ethics”; it will then endeavor to “resolve” and present the consistent libertarian stance on the abortion issue.

Examinando la relación de la profundidad óptica de aerosoles derivada de imágenes MODIS con contagios por COVID-19 en Santiago, Chile
Authors: Peña Marco , Fuenzalida Manuel
Published: May 2024

Aquí es examinada la relación que presenta el producto de grosor óptico de aerosoles (aerosol optical depth, AOD) MAIAC (Multi-Angle Implementation of Atmospheric Correction), derivado de imágenes satelitales MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), con contagios COVID-19, un campo de investigación que aún permanece inexplorado en el estado del arte internacional, cuyo abordaje contribuiría a comprender la incidencia de la contaminación atmosférica en la ocurrencia de casos de esa enfermedad sobre grandes urbes. Para esto, datos diarios de AOD, adquiridos a las ~18:00 hora local, y tasas de contagio (R0s) por COVID-19 del Área Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile, fueron agregados y correlacionados a nivel de semanas epidemiológicas (SEs) en un periodo comprendido entre marzo y diciembre de 2020, dentro de cuatro zonas en que fue dividida el área de estudio. Las correlaciones más altas fueron obtenidas cuando AOD fue retardado en una semana respecto de R0s inferiores a 120 por cada 100 mil habitantes, rango que da cuenta del período de incubación del virus, así como del rezago con que actúa sobre la salud humana la exposición a la contaminación atmosférica cuando la transmisión aún no se torna comunitaria. Las zonas nororiente y suroriente arrojaron correlaciones más claras entre ambas fuentes de datos (r= 0,57 y 0,47, respectivamente), que aquellas norponiente y surponiente (r= 0,3), aspecto que guarda estrecha relación con la dinámica atmosférica que caracteriza al valle en que se asienta la ciudad de Santiago, y que determina la movilización de contaminantes hacia su sector más alto (oriente) durante el atardecer. Se espera que este trabajo constituya una primera aproximación a la construcción de modelos causales y predictivos sobre el comportamiento espaciotemporal de la enfermedad en cuestión a partir de productos de AOD.

The tests were carried out on the basis of one of the research and production companies located in the Central Federal District of Russia. A mixture of waste contaminated solutions of de-icing fluids collected at large airports during the cold season of the year was used as research liquid. He studies have shown positive results, so the technology can be recommended for industrial application. The separation process is stable, and the quality of the effluent meets the most stringent requirements. A feature of the technology under study is its ease of use, the almost complete elimination of chemicals and the compactness of the equipment, which makes it possible to design local systems for the purification of solutions of glycol-containing liquids.
Eminescu and Kabbalah
Authors: Cojocaru Andrei Victor
Published: May 2024

In the pages of this article, we will bring together a series of interpretations of Eminescu’s writings that prove the influence of the mysticism of Kabbalah on the great Romanian author. The understanding of Eminescu’s poems through the lens of Kabbalah is a perspective adopted by several scholars. For example, starting with G. Călinescu, Hyperion (from the poem “Luceafărul”) was compared to a sefirah. Since the influences of the Far East seem to be much more significant in the literary context in question, we will start from them and, later, correlate them with elements from the ideological background of Near Eastern mysticism. We will also point out certain aspects of the symbolism of the elements and, above all, of water – which is, ultimately, an emblem of the primordial space from which existence is born. Thus, starting from the perspective of Gaston Bachelard’s poetics of the elements, we will investigate the correlation with the mysterious Ain Soph of Kabbalah.
For a noble and sentimental literature: N. Steinhardt and the essay as a form of freedom
Authors: Patraș Antonio , Patraș Roxana
Published: May 2024

N. Steinhardt, the author of Jurnalul fericirii [The Diary of Happiness], was not only an exquisite intellectual colporteur, but also an erudite essayist of astonishing spontaneity, who gave his intellectual discourse a remarkable cultural breadth, which places him in the same spiritual family as Alexandru Odobescu, Paul Zarifopol, Mihail Ralea, Alexandru Paleologu or Andrei Pleșu. In spite of the diversity of the themes addressed, the essays of the later monk of Rohia preserve a basic unity, revealed in a coherent modus cogitandi and a defensive ethos, intended to protect individual freedom through recourse to modesty and to what Paleologu called common sense as paradox. Reading Steinhardt’s essays is also a powerful antidote to laziness of thought, offering the reader the chance to escape from the narrow horizon of commonplaces. Leaving aside the prison memorial and the texts on religious subjects, which are permeated by the same essayistic vein, we highlighted the fact that Steinhardt understood literary criticism as an ingenious creative activity, polemically anti-positivist, susceptible to new and surprising cultural analogies, incessantly pleading for the rehabilitation of subjectivity, emotion and feeling as essential factors in the process of knowledge, from the perspective of a fundamental humanism drawing from Montaigne’s tradition.

Introduction. One of the most important characteristics of asphalt concrete that characterizes its properties is the elasticity modulus. The elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete is used in the design of pavement structures to calculate its permissible elastic deflection, under the condition of shear resistance of the working subgrade layer and the layers of non-cohesive materials, as well as bending tensile strength. Problem statement. Today, the calculated value of the elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete is taken in accordance with Handbook No. 2 «Design Characteristics of Asphalt Concrete» [2]. In this Handbook, the calculated value of the elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete is given depending on the bitumen grade, temperature, type of asphalt mixture, and time of load action. Numerical design values of the elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete are provided only for asphalt concrete type B; for other types of asphalt concrete, it is proposed to reduce or increase the design value of the elasticity modulus by the value that depends on the type of asphalt concrete and temperature. Since 2020, a new standard on technical requirements for bitumen has been in force in Ukraine, which brings bitumen grades in line with the European classification [4]. At the same time, in the Handbook No. 2 [2], the calculated value of the elasticity modulus of asphalt concrete is given in accordance with the previous bitumen grades, which necessitates their adjustment.
ROLE OF DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED IMAGING AND APPARENT DIFFUSION COEFFICIENT IN MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING FOR THE EVALUATION OF BRAIN INFARCTION
Authors: Yadav Paras , Nagaraj B. R.
Published: May 2024

Cerebral infarction is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The time of diagnosis of
cerebral infarction plays a crucial role in the treatment and prognosis of the patient. The intravenous
tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) given within three hours after the onset of stroke or early revascularization by percutaneous
interventions are the early treatment of choices and has good prognostic value. MRI plays a vital role in the diagnosis of
cerebral infarction. A less time-consuming MRI sequence like diffusion with ADC correlation is a highly sensitive imaging
technique for early detection. During the early stages of brain infarction which is less than 6 hours after the onset of symptoms,
MRI sequences such as T1 and T2 showed no changes. Therefore, DWI and ADC correlation with magnetic resonance imaging
plays a vital role improved in the early diagnosis and assessing the prognosis of the patient. The present study is a
hospitalbased prospective, cross-sectional study done in 75 patients, who underwent MRI brain evaluation in the department of
lled the inclusion andradiodiagnosis, at Kona Seema institute of medical sciences, for a period of 12 months. Patients who ful
exclusion criteria were selected. ADC and r ADC values are calculated in all patients. The aim of the study is to show that the
cient (ADC), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) varies with time and space in cerebral infarction andApparent Diffusion Coef to
determine the stage of the infarction using r ADC values, ADC and DWI. In our present study, we proved that the average ADC
values and the rADC values change with time and space which helps us to accurately stage the brain infarction in terms of
acute, subacute, and chronic cerebral infarction. Combined analysis of DWI with ADC correlation and routine MRI sequences
are used for the accurate evaluation of the brain infarction and to assess the progress and treatment plans after brain
infarction.

Deendayal Upadhyay's philosophy of integral humanism is an indigenous socio-economic viewpoint,based on Bhartiya
cultural values,which is focused on overall development of human beings.Integral humanism re-establishes the man's
place in the right perspective and tries to develop his complete personality. It is the task of the political philosopher to
make clear what man's nature truly is and,on this basis,to define the conditions of a good political order.This was the task
Upadhyaya set for himself in his Poona lectures on Integral Humanism.After independence,Deendayal argued that India
should develop our own model of development instead of blindly following the western model of development.He said
that we should analyse our-self which is associated with our culture. He describes that Bharatiya culture focuses on the
development of human's body,mind,intellect and soul which is called integrated humanism.
FLOOD FORECASTING MODEL – A REVIEW
Authors: Anuradha V.
Published: May 2024

Flood occurrences have persisted in India since ancient times.Certain regions in India frequently see devastating floods
on an annual basis due to localised disparities in climatic patterns and precipitation levels. According to the Central
Water Commission (2012), approximately 49.82 million hectares, equivalent to fifteen percent of India's land area, is
susceptible to the risk of floods. The concept of “flood forecasting” refers to the systematic determination of the
probability, magnitude, temporal occurrence, and duration of flood events within a designated geographical region.
There are several methodologies available for flood prediction, including data-driven models, physically-based
models, and hybrid models that combine elements of both approaches. When considering the suitable models to
employ,it is crucial to consider factors such as the availability of data,the characteristics of the catchment area,and the
required level of precision in forecasting. The efficacy of one's written work is in a literature review or a research piece
and hinges upon the adeptness with which data is presented in a manner that exhibits the subject matter in a lucid and
cohesive fashion. We have endeavoured to collate all the relevant research and discern any deficiencies in our
comprehension.

Published: May 2024

Introduction In this digital world, social media usage among professional students including dental undergraduates is
increasing.Such emerging e-professionalism has its advantages and disadvantages.It develops audience engagement,
communication, and networking opportunities. It also has limitations such as addictions, controversial posts, and
comments,inadequate information,etc. Objectives This study aimed to examine the opinions of dental students about
e-professionalism on social media. Material and methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among
undergraduate dental students at Dental Government College in Imphal,Manipur.(n = 229).The instrument used was a
28-item questionnaire modified from a previous study among dental students in Malaysia.Social media platforms such as
WhatsApp,YouTube,Instagram, and Facebook were included.Data collected was statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS
Statistics software 25 version (IBM Corp.Armonk,NY,USA) Results More female subjects were participated in this study.
Attitudes of the students towards e-professionalism were very positive. The findings indicate the existence of both
advantages and limitations. Conclusions There is a high use of social media among the students. The practices and
concerns regarding e-professionalism are rising and therefore, a more uniform approach and awareness training
programs on e-professionalism can help the students properly utilize it.

METFORMIN IN A TERTIARY CARE CENTRE
Authors: Premkumar S. , Annie Philip Meghna , Chettiyar Selvarajan
Published: May 2024

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a widespread metabolic health disease. The oral hypoglycemic drug
metformin is prescribed to type 2 diabetic patients worldwide as a first line treatment along with lifestyle changes.The
risk of vitamin B12 deficiency and its medical repercussions in diabetic patients increases with ongoing metformin
medication.Aim:To assess the vitaminB12 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients on metformin and to determine the
association with duration and dose metformin. Materials and Method: The present study was a Cross Sectional
Observational Study conducted for a period of 6 months in department of General Medicine,Sree Mookambika Institute
of Medical Sciences.There were 120 consecutive cases of Type 2 DM receiving metformin medication in the study group.
Each patient's medical history was reviewed to identify the length of their metformin therapy and past dosages, and
these dosages were vocally confirmed by the patients.Results were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 version and the association
was tested using Chi square test. Results: The mean age group of patients included in the present study was 56.52 ±
11.3 years and the age group ranged from 32 to 76 years. The average duration of diabetes mellitus and metformin
therapy were reported as 10.92±8.95 years and 8.66±7.24 years respectively. Vitamin B12 deficiency was seen in
49(40.83%)of the patients.When compared to other patients in the study population,patients with age greater than 50,
duration of diabetes greater than 10 years, duration of metformin therapy greater than 5 years, and dose of metformin
greater than 1000 mg/day had vitamin B12 deficiency.The association was found to be statistically significant (p0.05)
with p values of 0.048,0.012,0.026,and 0.002, respectively.With diabetes for less than 10 years and more than 10 years,
the mean serum levels of vitamin B12 were 183.518±94.75 and 152.384±36.26, respectively, and there was a significant
correlation between the duration of diabetes exposure (p Value 0.004). Conclusion: Patients on metformin therapy
frequently have vitamin B12 deficiency,especially those over the age of 50 years,with diabetes for longer than ten years,
taking metformin for longer than five years, and receiving doses of more than 1000 mg/day. This strongly suggests
routine screening for vitamin B12 in diabetic patients taking metformin.Before starting metformin,and afterwards on an
annual basis,it is critical to screen for vitamin B12 insufficiency

Published: May 2024

Background: Cataracts remain the principal cause of blindness where over 17.7 million individuals worldwide suffer
from cataracts, which account for 47.8% of preventable blindness. Phacoemulsification is the preferred surgical
technique with in-the-bag intraocular lens insertion since it provides the greatest visual outcomes and quicker recovery.
Topical ophthalmic NSAIDS suppress the cyclooxygenase enzyme, which significantly reduces prostaglandin release.
Objectives: This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of Nepafenac and Flurbiprofen in maintaining
intraoperative mydriasis in phacoemulsification. A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, paralle Methods: l group,
comparative study was conducted from April 2023 to August 2023 among patients undergoing phacoemulsification
surgery at a tertiary care hospital, South India. Approval of the ethics committee of the institution was taken. The sample
size was 100 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study participants were randomly allotted into
two groups A and B with 50 patients in group A and 50 patients in group B respectively, where group A received 0.1%
Nepafenac eye drops, and group B received 0.03% Flurbiprofen eye drops. Descriptive statistics of the explanatory and
outcome variables were calculated, and the level of significance was set at 5%. A total of 100 pati Results: ents
participated in this study, where 58% were females and 42 % patients were males. 25 patients belonged to the age group
of 50 to 59 years, 44 patients belonged to the age group of 60 to 69 years, 31 patients belonged to the age group of 70 to 79
years. We found a statistical significance (p=0.001) for vertical and horizontal pupillary diameters when compared at
different stages of the surgery for both the groups. In our study, both the drugs were equally effe Conclusion: ctive at
different time intervals of the surgery. However, Nepafenac (0.1%) was found to be slightly better than flurbiprofen
(0.03%) in maintaining intraoperative mydriasis.

Authors: Grimaldi Elisa
Published: May 2024

In 2011, the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF) launched the Data.bnf research and development project to meet 3 main goals: to bring together in a single portal the data produced with different formats of the catalogue and the various applications of the BNF, to increase its visibility and promote its reuse by applying the technologies of the semantic web and to experiment a new way of structuring information based on IFLA's conceptual models, thus foreshadowing the catalogue of the future. The contribution aims to trace the innovations that are partially appreciable and partially in the process of being implemented by Data.bnf, which, while remaining stable in its primary goals, has continued to evolve to improve accessibility and functions and adapt to the needs of users.
Formation of the Idea of the Library as an Institution in 18th-Century Europe. A Qualitative and Quantitative Approach
Authors: Bianchini Carlo , Mancini Lorenzo , Sabba Fiammetta
Published: May 2024

The paper illustrates the LIBMOVIT project - - Libraries on the Move: Scholars, Books, Ideas Traveling in Italy in the 18th Century - whose main research focus is the European Eighteenth century socio-cultural framework in which the library as an institution acquired an historical, social, public and dynamic dimension. This context will be analysed through a study of the Eighteenth century sources connected to the learned journey experience of the Grand Tour, in particular those contained in the Angiolo Tursi collection - one of the largest travel literature collections in Italy - held at the Marciana national library in Venice. The paper presents the planned approach of the research: first, a classification and an organization of a corpus of relevant documents for the knowledge of travel literature in connection to the libraries world will be created; in particular, the sources will be identified, further bibliographical information will be added, and new sources will be integrated to the corpus and selected documents will be digitized. After that, the research will proceed through a double analysis – traditional and computational – of the texts collected in the corpus is to be developed. First, all the library and bibliographical aspects described by travellers will be studied according to the traditional approach in humanities research to collect important information about the history of libraries (location, decoration, catalogues, opening hours, access, collections, cited books and documents), the travellers and their companions (professions, nationality, reason to travel), the people met (scholars, librarians, superintendents) and the subjects and ideas discussed during the visits in the libraries. Second, the texts will be computationally analysed through several Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, starting from the automatic text recognition until arriving to more complex lexical and terminological analysis and Named Entity Recognition (NER). This work is meant to support the previously described qualitative study and will also allow to produce Linked open data about the domain entities (e.g. libraries, people, books) in view of their publication in the semantic web in order to ease and promote their exploration, visualisation and reuse.
GIS technology as a geographical method in applied library research: interpreting emerging issues through an interdisciplinary perspective
Authors: Quaglieri Camilla
Published: May 2024

Thanks to current national investigations, research applied to libraries in Italy has an unprecedented amount of data from which are emerging new complex issues and some worrying contradictions. In this framework lies the need to design structured in-depth investigations using innovative interpretative tools. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the article therefore proposes a methodological reflection on the opportunities offered by the integration between geographical knowledge and librarianship. Starting from the comparison between the main application purposes of GIS technology (Geographic Information System) adopted so far, both nationally and internationally, with some new experiments conducted in recent years, the contribution intends to present the potential of a method geographical gis-based for the interpretation of the relationships that link libraries to their context of action.
Food Policy Coherence and Integration: a review of adopted methodologies
Authors: Monticone Francesca , Samoggia Antonella
Published: May 2024

Multiple scholars in the last two decades have called for a coherent and integrated approach to food policy to address the challenges of the current food systems. Food Policy Coherence and Integration (PCI) are both challenging, as food matters are addressed at more than one level of governance and across several policy domains. Moreover, the analysis of food PCI has been carried out with different methodologies, but no reviews of such methodologies exist in the literature. Thus, the objective of the present study is to fill this gap, by reviewing which research methods were used to assess food PCI. The research adopts a bibliometric methodological approach to develop a quantitative network analysis of the identified studies and content analysis. Data collection was performed on Web of Science and Scopus including exclusively scientific articles from peer-reviewed journals. A total of 35 articles published since 2006 were included in the analysis. The main topics addressed were health and nutrition policies, followed by food security and agriculture. A variety of methods were used to assess Coherence and Integration. The first methodological phase often aimed at creating a policy inventory, followed by a second methodological phase to assess PCI. Some studies used interviews to identify the relevant policies and to comment on them. Other studies carried out PCI assessment relying on researchers’ expertise. To conclude, food PCI studies choose from a variety of methodologies the one that better fits their aims.
