Authors: Pasionek Jolanta
Published: March 2023

The results of the research presented in the article regard the importance of publication of macroeconomic data from the United States for the short-term USD/PLN currency pair exchange rate volatility. The main purpose of the research was to indicate what macroeconomic data is important for the short-term USD/PLN exchange rate volatility. The following research questions have been posed does the USD/PLN exchange rate react to the published macroeconomic data from the American economy and second could greater USD/PLN exchange rate volatility be observed during the COVID pandemic and has the war in Ukraine impacted the USD/PLN exchange rate volatility. International Foreign Exchange Market is the largest and most dynamically developing financial market in the world. In the globalized world the exchange rates are mainly influenced by economic factors. The most significant economic factors that impact short-term exchange rate volatility are primarily macroeconomic data from the American economy. Therefore in this article the author attempts to analyze macroeconomic data and their impact on short-term USD/PLN exchange rate volatility. Data based on which the research was made is as follows: Consumer Price Index, Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP), Services PMI, Manufacturing PMI, Empire State Manufacturing Index or Retail Sales. The analysis of connections between the publication of macroeconomic data and the reaction of exchange rates was carried out using the linear regression model with GARCH process for the random parameter. Conclusions of this research is exchange rate volatility USD/PLN was higher after publications of the macroeconomic data from Americans economy. The strongest exchange rate reaction was after publication of data regarding inflation, Manufacturing PMI and Retail Sales. In the COVID (1.03.20—14.02.22) period we observed increased USD/PLN exchange rate volatility. Exchange rate volatility was expressly larger in the period of war in Ukraine (15.02.22 – end of experiment).

Transfer pricing (TP) is based on many principles – the essential one is the Arm´s Length Principle (ALP). In this respect, the term “associated persons” is of crucial importance: associated persons must be involved in transactions in order for the ALP to be applied. The aim of the paper is to contribute to existing comparative analysis of TP rules – specifically, to provide a critical analysis of the term “associated persons” as prescribed by domestic law in Brazil, the Czech Republic, and Latvia. The key goals of the research conducted were to provide a comprehensive picture of the variety of definitions, to indicate relationships between international law and domestic law, and last, but not least, to highlight various concepts of the term “associated persons” and to identify problematic aspects connected with the interpretation of the definitions and the applications of the related rules. The study, which is based on qualitative research, is exploratory and interpretative in its nature. Its results present a background for further research and point to the fragmentation of law on TP with respect to the investigated issue. On the basis of the results of the comparative study one can conclude significant differences among, and fragmentation in, the definitions of the term “associated persons” both in respect of the number of categories established and in respect of the absence of the autonomy of the definitions of the term “associated persons” as provided by public law (especially by income tax acts). At the same time one can conclude the same position regarding the application of double tax treaties in all the countries for which the study was carried out.

Introduction: Mental health problems have increased internationally during the COVID-19 pandemic. Adolescents and their caregivers form a vulnerable group for the development of mental health problems. However, most data stems from high-income countries, and there is a clear lack of prevalence rates and potential risk factors from Balkan countries. No data is available on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in adolescents and their caregivers in North Macedonia.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adolescents and their caregivers in a school setting in rural and urban areas of North Macedonia. Survey items assessed symptoms of depression, anxiety, and respondents’ fear of COVID-19, as well as a number of risk factors, such as gender and living environment.

Results: 506 adolescents and 492 caregivers completed the survey. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were mild to moderate in adolescents and their caregivers. Women and girls generally scored higher than men and boys, and adolescents in high school scored higher than those in elementary school. Prevalence rates for depression were 29.2% for adolescents and 10.4% for caregivers, while rates of anxiety were 23.7% for adolescents and 6.1% for caregivers.

Conclusion: This study provides a first insight into the mental health of adolescents and their caregivers after the COVID-19 pandemic in North Macedonia. Further research is required to investigate the relatively low rates of caregivers’ mental health problems compared to data from other countries.

Subjective quality of life could be considered one of the indicators of health behavior and wellbeing of women in the perinatal period. Accordingly, the aim of this paper was to examine how women in perinatal period perceive quality of life in various domains. Its relationship to age, number of pregnancies, course of pregnancies, and method of delivery and experience with Covid-19 pandemic was investigated, as well. Our sample consisted of 366 pregnant women in any period of pregnancy who came in for regular outpatient examinations and control, those who were hospitalized due to pathological pregnancy or due to the need for intensive care, as well as women in their postnatal period, one year after delivery, who were seeking professional advice from a gynecologist. The majority were aged 20 to 30 years (53.8%). The findings showed that assessed domains of subjective quality of life were related to a variety of experiences with the Covid-19 pandemic. The results are presented and discussed in detail. Implications and limitations are given, as well.

Introduction: Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of the femoral head is defined as a pathological process that results in a critical reduction in the blood supply to the hip head with increased intraosseous pressure. Avascular necrosis is a multifactorial disease. The treatment used so far consists of transosseous decompression of the femoral head and is the most commonly used method in the early stages of osteonecrosis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results after application of bone marrow stem cells obtained from the pelvic ridge, which was applied to the necrotic zone after previous decompression.

Material and methods. The study is of prospective character and included 30 patients with first, second, and third degrees of AVN according to the Ficat classification, determined with X-ray. The range of motion in the hip was examined preoperatively by using a goniometer, a radiological evaluation of the degree of AVN was performed, according to the Ficat classification, and the VAS scale and the Harris Hip Score were examined preoperatively and postoperatively.

Results: The average value for the Harris Hip Score (HHS) preoperatively was: for Ficat I -66.32±5.1, for Ficat II - 49.19±3.4 and for Ficat III - 33.71±2.1. At the 3-month postoperative follow-up, the average HHS values were: 87.92±4.3 for Ficat I, 78.64±6.6 for Ficat II and 76.48±2.6 for Ficat III. The same values for HHS were obtained in the control examinations at the 6th and 12th month postoperatively, indicating the fact that good bone regeneration was achieved and the progression of the condition was prevented. A decrease in the HHS value was observed at the control examination at 1 year after the surgical treatment, in 3 patients according to the Ficat classification of grade III, in whom a total hip replacement surgery was performed.

Conclusion: The use of stem cells in the treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head has achieved good functional results and reduced pain in operated patients. Radiographically, good bone regeneration was achieved and the progression of necrosis to a higher degree was prevented.

Published: March 2023

Goals: Arthroscopic ganglionectomy has become an increasingly popular surgical option for dorsal wrist ganglia. The aim of this study was to describe our technique for the arthroscopic treatment of dorsal wrist ganglia and to evaluate the clinical results as well as the recurrence rate in our patients.

Methods: In a prospective study, 48 patients who underwent arthroscopic treatment of dorsal ganglion of the wrist were included. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and 3 and 24 months post arthroscopy. A presence of recurrence at 24 months was recorded. The subjective outcome was evaluated with The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and the Visual analog scale (VAS). Objective outcomes included grip strength and range of movement measurements.

Results: The mean age was 36 years; the majority were women (36/48). Mean grip strength and the average flexion and extension in the wrist showed improvement after 3 months. The total PRWE score improved from 26.7 preoperatively to 10.2 at three months and 2.4 two years after surgery. After 24 months follow-up, there were only two patients with recurrence (4.2%).

Conclusion: The arthroscopic resection of the dorsal wrist ganglia is a procedure with a low recurrence rate and lowest scaring and stiffness; it should be considered as a golden standard for operative treatment of the dorsal wrist ganglia.
The Buddhist Intent of Parārthānumāna and its Hetu-Centric Commitment
Authors: Sharma Ambika Datta , Tandon Mohit
Published: March 2023

The paper discusses anumāna and its variety in general from the point of view of inferential cognition for the sake of oneself as well as for the sake of others; i.e. svārthānumāna and parārthānumāna as given in the Buddhist tradition of logic, especially with parārthānumāna, its nature and role. The paper argues that the Buddhist intent of division of anumāna into svārthānumāna and parārthānumāna was to bring Buddha-vacanas under the category of parārthānumāna and to save them from being classified under śabda pramāṇa. It contends that such a division was not just an epistemological demand, but had a deeper philosophical significance in the Buddhist conceptual framework. Such a division is, therefore, intended to reject the role of śabda as an extra causal means or pramāṇa. The paper identifies the logical commitment in Buddhist tradition as hetu-centric commitment as it differs from the Nyāya tradition of vyāpti-centric one.
Navigating the Excluded Middle: The Jaina Logic of Relativity
Authors: Long Jeffery D.
Published: March 2023

The Jaina tradition is known for its distinctive approach to prima facie incompatible claims about the nature of reality. The Jaina approach to conflicting views is to seek an integration or synthesis, in which apparently contrary views are resolved into a vantage point from which each view can be seen as expressing part of a larger, more complex truth. Viewed by some contemporary Jaina thinkers as an extension of the principle of ahiṃsā into the realm of intellectual discourse, Jaina logic marks quite a distinctive stance toward the concept of logical consistency. While it does not directly violate the law of excluded middle, it does, one might say, navigate this principle in a highly and potentially useful way. The potential usefulness of Jaina logic includes the possibility of its use in arguing for the position known as religious pluralism or worldview pluralism. This is a view which many philosophers see as holding great promise in developing a way to think about differences across worldviews in ways that do not lead to the kind of conflict and polarization that all too often characterizes ideological differences in today’s world.
A Set of Meta-Systemetic Assumptions for Dovetailing Jaina Logic Into Jaina Metaphysics
Authors: Sarkar Tushar K.
Published: March 2023

This paper presents an integralist approach to Jaina logic. This is built around an analysis of the pivotal notion of antarvyāpti in Jaina logic. It is shown in this connection why antarvyāpti needs to be considered the ‘Core Perspective/Problem’ of Jaina logic. Next, it is shown how all the salient features of Jaina logic (as viewed from its language-oriented perspective and the epistemic perspective respectively) stand intimately related to the so-called core perspective. In the remaining sections of the paper topics like relationship of the core perspective i) to various non-standard systems of logic [DL, FL, NMR etc.,], ii) to the four pillars and to the eight MPC’s of Jaina philosophy, iii) to some bluntly unimaginative ways of looking at Jaina logic [e.g., Ducko-Rabbitism], iv) to the scheme of classification of propositions in Jaina logic, v) to the resulting conceptual economies related to methodology, and especially to a unified theory of Hetvābhāsa and, finally, vi) to a re-assessment of Frege-Husserl discord in the light of the significance of Jñānātmakatā vs Vākyātmakatā in Jaina logic, etc., have been discussed.
Representation and Reasoning in Vedānta
Authors: Kak Subhash
Published: March 2023

This paper considers the matter of representation in Vedānta by examining key claims in the Ṛgveda and the Upaniṣads, which are some of its principal texts. Specifically, we consider the logic behind the paradoxical verses on creation and the conception of consciousness as the ground on which the physical universe exists. This also is the template that explains the logical structure underlying the principal affirmations of the Upaniṣads. The five elements and consciousness are taken to pervade each other, which explains how gross matter is taken to consist of all the four different kinds of atoms that get manifested in different states of the substance. The verses on creation are an example of the use of catuṣkoṭi in Indian philosophy prior to the use of it by Nāgārjuna in the Madhyamaka tradition. It also contrasts central ideas of Vedānta with the corresponding contemporary scientific ideas on consciousness.
Descriptions of Ānvīkṣikī in the Texts of Classical India and the Nature of Analytic Philosophy
Authors: Shokhin Vladimir K.
Published: March 2023

The author enters an already old dispute, that is, whether a countеrpart of the notion of philosophy could be encountered in the traditional India, upholds the view that the term ānvīkṣikī (lit. “investigation”) was nearest to it and traces its meaning along the texts on dharma, politics, poetics and philosophy properly. Two main avenues to the understanding of philosophy’s vocations in India have been paved in the Mānavadharmaśāstra, along with the commentaries thereon and by Kamandaki, the author of the Nītisāra (as the knowledge of Ātman) and in the Arthaśāstra and the Nyāya texts composed by Vātsyāyana and Uddyotakara (as a metascience helping the other branches of knowledge bear their fruits). Therefore philosophy in India as well was regarded as the duality of ideological and methodological constituents, while the emphasis on analytic practice in the definitions of ānvīkṣikī (Wittgenstein’s conception of philosophy as a practice is also referred to in this context) paves a good promise for comparative philosophy.

IRISAN MOTIF ANCAMAN TERORISME: STUDI KASUS PENEGAKAN HUKUM DENSUS 88 ANTI TEROR DI YOGYAKARTA, SURABAYA DAN MAKASSAR TAHUN 2021
Authors: Ridwan Wachid , Murod Ma'mun
Published: March 2023

Sepanjang tahun 2021, Detasemen Khusus 88 Anti Teror Kepolisian Repubik Indonsia telah melakukan operasi penegakan hukum terkait ancaman tindak kekerasan terorisme sebagai amanat Undang-Undang Nomor 5 tahun 2018 tentang Perubahan atas Undang-Undang Nomor 15 Tahun 2oo3 tentang Penetapan Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2oo2 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Terorisme menjadi Undang-Undang. Jurnal ini menganalisa irisan motif para tersangka pelanggaran Undang-Undang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Terorisme di Makassar, Surabaya dan Yogyakarta. Metode penelitian dilaksanakan dengan observasi dan wawancara mendalam terhadap para tersangka yang masih mendekam dalam tahanan Kepolisian Daerah Metro Jaya, Daerah Khusus Ibu Kota Jakarta. Motif ideologi yakni percepatan praktek Syariat Islam di Indonesia menjadi temuan variabel penting yang ditafsirkan beririsan dengan dakwah Amar Makruf Nahi Mungkar di Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah. Temuan variabel lain adalah euphoria munculnya Negara Islam di Suriah yang menjadi daya tarik warga muda Muhammadiyah untuk bergabung dengan Front Pembela Islam yang menurut mereka lebih nyata dalam nahi mungkar terhadap hegemoni Amerika Serikat dan sikap anti Syiah. Sementara variabel terakhir adalah figur pendakwah diluar Persyarikatan Muhammadiyah yang dianggap lebih sesuai dengan tingkat pemahaman keagamaan dan rendahnya pengetahuan Al Islam dan Kemuhammadiyahan. Tiga irisan motif ini melatar belakangi aktifitas para tersangka dalam jangka waktu yang telah cukup lama. Namun aktifitas-aktifitas tersebut tidak tergolong pelanggaran undang-undang, sampai dengan terbitnya Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 2018. Pengakuan para tersangka mengungkapkan bahwa mereka tidak mempunyai niatan untuk berbuat kekerasan apalagi tindak pidana terorisme, namun demikian mereka berada dalam sebuah kelompok dan lingkungan yang sangat rentan terhadap munculnya tindak ekstremisme dan terorisme. Oleh karena itu, perlu ada garis pembatas jelas yang membelah irisan motif amar makruf nahi mungkar dan tafsir praktek Syariah Islam dan Negara Islam serta tranparansi dan keadilan dalam penegakan hukum.

Authors: Noer Hamka Hendra
Published: March 2023

The theory of neorealism stated that the strong and powerful will dominate and monopolize the world, whereas the insignificant will become marginalized. This concept was focused on gaining benefits rather than having a profound cooperation between countries. However, the said theory which also believed in pro-war (propaganda) has been argued by institutionalism theory. The institutionalism theory proposed that the outbreak of war may be caused by a failure in political institutions. Therefore, safety issues were more than military affairs but national security and economic relations between countries. The conspicuous objectives between those theories were that the institutionalists believed in sustainable cooperation of both parties to achieve an absolute benefit, whereas the neorealists relied on gaining advantages in cooperation. The article uses the library research and implements a qualitative-critical descriptive on the research method.  Discourse analysis is carried out to prevent an overlapping data in the data analysis. In conclusion, theory of neorealism implements a domination by monopolizing power to elude a cooperation to occurred. Meanwhile, the institutionalism theory would prioritize on finding a win-win solution to resolve conflict in order to evade war.

Las distintas formas que el autor inspecciona mediante experimentos narrativos ofrecen al interesado extrañas reflexiones a veces inocentes, a veces profundas, pero siempre intrigantes sobre la condición humana que, ora lastre, ora presea, no podemos abandonar ni siquiera por medio de la muerte ni el olvido. Suele cada cuento plantear acercamientos filosóficos a las fantasías insondables de la inmensidad, la existencia, el infinito y Dios; gigantes inabordables enfrentados con agudeza y humildad por medio de la prosa precisa y sencilla que, salvo excepciones en las que la idea exige otro estilo más intrincado en subordinaciones y figuras, caracteriza este libro. -Alejandro Navarro-Moncaleano-

Critical role of epigenetic modification in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis
Authors: Chen Chunli , Zeng Jinrong , Lu Jianyun
Published: March 2023

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised by recurrent eczema-like lesions and severe pruritus, along with drying and decrustation of skin. Current research relates the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis mainly to genetic susceptibility, abnormal skin barrier function, immune disorders, Staphylococcus aureus colonisation, microbiological dysfunction and vitamin D insufficiency. Epigenetic modifications are distinct genetic phenotypes resulting from environment-driven changes in chromosome functions in the absence of nuclear DNA sequence variation. Classic epigenetic events include DNA methylation, histone protein modifications and non-coding RNA regulation. Increasing evidence has indicated that epigenetic events are involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis by their effects on multiple signalling pathways which in turn influence the above factors. This review primarily analyses the function of epigenetic regulation in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis. In addition, it tries to make recommendations for personalised epigenetic treatment strategies for atopic dermatitis in the future.

Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Web-based learning is becoming a newly accepted standard in education, more so with COVID-19 pandemic. To use technology to redesign learning experiences, a blend of synchronous and asynchronous approaches was used wherein the routine lectures through MS Teams (synchronous) were integrated with an online learning management system (LMS), ‘Moodle’ (modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) based, four-quadrant approach (asynchronous). We aimed to determine the student’s engagement, performance and perception of the new online LMS.

Materials and Methods:

All 170 students of the 1st year MBBS of batch 2020 were enrolled in the course. A module was developed for teaching ‘Physiology of Vision’ with this blended approach. Along with routine online lectures through Microsoft Teams, supplementary materials in the form of multimedia presentations and additional links to useful websites were provided through online LMS. The online activity of students was recorded and assessments were done. A feedback form was filled out by students at the end of the course.

Results:

A significant positive correlation of examination scores with individual student’s activity logs and significantly better scores in top Moodle users along with significantly higher marks in Moodle-based modules than in other modules confirmed the value of Moodle in improving student performance. Overall feedback from students was clearly in favour of implementing Moodle as a complementary tool to traditional teaching.

Conclusion:

Moodle improved the quality of learning. It developed interest and motivation among students and has a positive impact on academic outcomes.
Enhancement of caudal fin regeneration in diabetic zebrafish: An insight into proangiogenic potential of bromelain
Authors: Parasuraman Rajeshwari , Govindarajulu Sathya Narayanan
Published: March 2023

Objectives:

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease that is characterised by hyperglycaemia, altered lipids, carbohydrates and protein metabolism, and in the long-term, with eye, kidney, cardiovascular and neurological complications. Poor wound healing is one of the major complications faced by diabetes mellitus patients. Angiogenesis is critical for tissue regeneration and wound healing. Impaired angiogenesis may lead to poor blood flow to the wound and hence delayed wound healing. Hence, it is important to find an antidote to speed up wound healing. Hence, this study focuses on the proangiogenic potential of bromelain in the caudal fin regeneration of diabetic zebrafish.

Materials and Methods:

Zebrafish were divided into control, Diabetic and Diabetic + Bromelain treated groups. Diabetes mellitus was induced using multiple doses of streptozotocin (350 mg/kg b.w./i.p.) on days 1, 3, 5, 12 and 19. Glucose levels were estimated on day 21 to confirm the induction of diabetes mellitus, and then, the caudal fin was amputated. After the amputation of the caudal fin, bromelain was administered orally at a dosage of 40 mg/kg b.w. on every alternate day for 15 days. Body weight, blood glucose level, total area and percentage of fin regeneration were observed on day 36. Images were compared and areas of regeneration were analysed with the help of Image J software. One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison tests was used to analyse the data.

Results:

A significant increase in the blood glucose level was observed in the diabetic group compared with control. A significant decrease in the percentage of tail regeneration and area of regeneration was observed in diabetic fishes compared to the control. Bromelain treatment has significantly increased the percentage and area of regeneration and significantly decreased the blood glucose level in the treatment group compared with the control.

Conclusion:

The study confirms that bromelain can promote tissue regeneration; hence, it can be used to improve wound healing, which is one of the most common complications in diabetes mellitus.

Authors: Song Kyung Seob , Coskun Ali
Published: March 2023

Palladium (Pd) recycling from waste materials is an important approach in order to meet the growing demand for Pd originating from its broad range of applications including automotive industry, electronics and catalysis. In this article, we discuss the design principles of solid-sorbents for efficient recovery of Pd from waste sources with a particular emphasis on porous organic polymers (POPs), which emerged as promising porous materials for Pd recovery due to their tunable chemical functionality, stability and porosity. We discuss the critical role of binding sites and porosity in the Pd uptake capacity, adsorption kinetics and selectivity. We also highlight the use of captured Pd within the polymer networks as heterogeneous catalysts for cross-coupling reactions.

Sustainability is here to stay. As businesses migrate away from fossil fuels and toward renewable sources, chemistry will play a crucial role in bringing the economy to a point of net-zero emissions. In fact, chemistry has always been at the forefront of developing new or enhanced materials to fulfill societal demands, resulting in goods with appropriate physical or chemical qualities. Today, the main focus is on developing goods and materials that have a less negative impact on the environment, which may include (but is not limited to) leaving behind smaller carbon footprints.Integrating data and AI can speed up the discovery of new eco-friendly materials, predict environmental impact factors for early assessment of new technological integration, enhance plant design and management, and optimize processes to reduce costs and improve efficiency, all of which contribute to a more rapid transition to a sustainable system. In this perspective, we hint at how AI technologies have been employed so far first, at estimating sustainability metrics and second, at designing more sustainable chemical processes.
