Lithuanian Jewish in 1941-1945: continuation of holocaust in Stutthoff concentration camp (1)
Authors: Buchaveckas Stanislovas
Published: September 2024

At the beginning of the Second World War, the Stutthof concentration camp was established on the territory of the Nazi Germany-occupied Free City-State of Danzig (Gdansk) (existed from 1920 to 1939) – a place of suffering and death of Lithuanians as well as Jewish Lithuanian citizens. However, until 2020, no comprehensive analytical work on the Lithuanian Judaica of the tragic events of Stutthof was published. This follow-up article will therefore attempt to fill at least part of this gap. Especially that the Government of the Republic of Lithuania, implementing the Resolution of the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania of 10 May 2018 “On Declaring 2020 the Year of Vilnius Gaon and the History of the Jews of Lithuania”, has planned a number of events dedicated to this occasion this year and encouraged the research of problems related to the tragedy of the Jews of Lithuania during World War II, the development of publishing activities and the writing of various articles.
Education of Deported Lithuanian Children
Authors: Juodėnaitė Gabija
Published: September 2024

As a result of Soviet repression about 40,000 Lithuanian children with their families were deported to Siberia, where they had started or continued their education. The Soviet, with knowledge of education importance of the new regime loyal generation, spend a lot of attention, increased funding, and enforce compulsory education. The education system was affected by World War II: the number of pupils in schools fell by as much as 25%, pre-war levels were reached again by 1950. School conditions were poor – children did not have learning tools, there was a lack of premises, textbooks, teachers. The situation started to get a little better in the postwar period, but no major changes took place until about the early 1960s. Teachers had the greatest influence to the quality of learning. Ideological education played an important role to the learning system turning children into loyal Soviet citizens. However, adults were teaching their children at home in case of possible ideology affection, loss of national identity. The opportunities of deported people to study at higher schools were limited, nevertheless, a number of them entered higher education and completed their studies.
Vital event of servise of Vicentas Sladkevičius in 1956-1959
Authors: Grickevičius Artūras
Published: September 2024

The article analyses in detail and gives a factual account of the particularly important period of ministry of the famous Lithuanian Catholic clergyman Sladkevičius, i.e. 1956–1959. The atheistic secular government exercised strict control and dictatorship over the most important affairs of the religious communities, dealt with the appointment of the clergy, and tried to turn the hierarchs into obedient followers of the government. The perseverance and efforts of Bishop Teofilius Matulionis, who survived the repression, made it possible for Father Sladkevičius, who was devoted to the Catholic Church, to become a bishop against the government’s wishes. The dissatisfied government tried to ignore the new bishop, and later to force him to cooperate. Not yielding to the pressure and temptations of the Red security agents and the Commissioner for Religious Cults, Sladkevičius, the Auxiliary Bishop of Kaišiadorys, remained faithful to the autonomy of the Catholic Church, and was therefore exiled to the periphery of another diocese, Panevėžys, as undesirable and dangerous. A full disclosure of these events is important for understanding the recent history of the Catholic Church in Lithuania and the Lithuanian unarmed resistance during the Soviet period.
Political Soldiers of the Party: A Political and Social Portrait of the KGB Cadre
Authors: Burinskaitė Kristina
Published: September 2024

The KGB cadres are undeservedly left in the shadow of the agents, even though they were the ones who implemented the repressive policy, persecuted and interrogated individuals, and recruited agents and formed assignments for them. The Soviet security worker before and after 1953 differed, because the new challenges did not require the brutality characteristic of the Stalinist period, but rather – greater intellectual capacities, so the number of Lithuanians and people with high educational attainment on the staff increased. However, the social and political portrait of a member of the Cheka was no less influenced by the status of this structure itself, because a job with the KGB was prestigious and privileged, and formed a certain status of secretiveness and exclusiveness.
Memory of Soviet Repressions in the Kazakhstan Lithuanian Diaspora: Interpretations, Practices, Contexts
Authors: Šutinienė Irena
Published: September 2024

In this article, the focus is on the memory of repressions in the Kazakhstan Lithuanian diaspora, a large part of which consists of the descendants of Lithuanians who were subject to repression. Based on data from a survey of semi-structured interviews,53 the interpretations, evaluations, and practices for the memorialisation and commemoration of the memory of the repressions among the representatives of the diaspora are analysed. The connections of this memory with Kazakhstan’s dominant collective memory discourses and the Lithuanian narrative of the memory of repressions are discussed. The analysis reveals how discourses of the memory of the repressions in the country impact the memory of the descendant of the migrants.
Polish Forced Labourers in the Klaipėda Region during World War II
Authors: Chomej Dawid
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the plight of Polish forced labourers in the Klaipėda region during World War II, shedding light on a lesser-known aspect of Nazi occupation policies. Drawing on a database maintained by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, the author collected data on nearly 2,000 Polish individuals subjected to forced labour in Klaipėda. Through archival research and analysis of personal testimonies, the study explores the demographics, origins, working conditions, and treatment of these labourers.
The occupation of Klaipada by Nazi Germany resulted in the displacement of local populations and the influx of foreign workers to meet wartime labour demands. Polish labourers, predominantly young and from economically disadvantaged regions like Ciechanów, were among those forcibly mobilized. They were subjected to harsh treatment, discriminatory laws, and often found themselves in precarious working and living conditions.
The paper highlights the experiences of Polish labourers in various industries, including construction and agriculture, and examines the motivations behind their escapes from forced labour. It also addresses the sensitive issue of sexual violence against female Polish workers, which remains largely overlooked in historiography.
The liberation of Klaipėda by Soviet forces in 1945 brought an end to forced labour in the region, but many labourers faced further hardships, including mistreatment by Soviet authorities. The paper concludes with reflections on the post-war reparations process and calls for further research and cross-border cooperation to fully understand the history of forced labour in the Klaipėda region and its lasting impact on affected communities.

La Iglesia de Murcia, reducto de catolicidad en el Sexenio Democrático español (1868-1874) II
Authors: Riquelme Oliva Pedro
Published: September 2024

La historia de la Iglesia de Murcia durante el Sexenio democrático (1868?1874) camina ante la política de los sucesivos gobiernos al compás de las indicaciones del episcopado español. No obstante, la singularidad de la sociedad murciana en su comportamiento revolucionario hace de su Iglesia un reducto de “catolicidad” en el conjunto de la geografía española.
Abstract: The history of the Church of Murcia during the democratic six-year term (1868-1874) walks before the policies of successive governments to the beat of the indications of the Spanish episcopate. However, the uniqueness of Murcian society in its revolutionary behavior makes its Church a stronghold of "catholicity" in the whole of Spanish geography.
About the audiovisual analysis: linguistic and semiotic constraints
Authors: Slaoui Lamiae , Berrada Bouchra
Published: September 2024

Our article mainly deals with the constraints relating to the specificities of audiovisual discourse. Admittedly, this one presents itself under a double aspect: the text and the image which lead to a plural interpretation of the whole making the reading more difficult. Our example of audiovisual discourse submitted for analysis is the fable « Le lion et le rat ». Among the studied linguistic elements, we can mention the lexicon and the prosody at the level of the text, and the space and the iconographic codes at the level of the image, aiming to finally arrive at the point of view adopted by the analysis, that of the complementarity of the two signs.
Some risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke caused by middle cerebral artery damage
Authors: Nguyen Thi Huyen , Phan Van Duc , Nguyen Thanh Binh
Published: September 2024

Background and Purpose: Recurrent ischemic stroke due to damage to the middle cerebral artery causes deterioration of neurological function and increases the rate of disability, death, and treatment costs many times compared to the first ischemic stroke. Assessing risk factors plays an extremely important role in preventing recurrent ischemic stroke. We have discuss some risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke caused by middle cerebral artery damage.
Research subjects and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 77 patients with recurrent ischemic stroke due to middle cerebral artery damage at the Neurology Center - Bach Mai Hospital from July 2021 to August 2022.
Summary of review: There were 22 female patients and 55 male patients with an average age of 65 ± 11 years old, predominantly in the age group of 61 - 70 years old (making up 44.2% of the total). The majority of patients experienced their first recurrence (64.9%). The timeframe between the most recent ischemic stroke and the recurrent event ranged from 12 months to 5 years, with the highest occurrence rate at 33.8%. Hypertension has the highest rate among risk factors (88.3%); Hyperlipidemia follows as the second leading risk factor (49.4%). Patients with recurrent ischemic stroke caused by middle cerebral artery damage showed limited effectiveness in recurrence prevention treatment: 68.8% did not adhere to antiplatelet medication or had recently stopped taking them. 81.8% did not consistently receive statin treatment as prescribed. There is a significant difference in clinical recovery levels based on the mRS among patients with and without hypertension (p=0.023); with and without hyperlipidemia (p=0.044); among patients receiving regular and irregular antithrombotic therapy (p < 0.005); among patients receiving regular and irregular statin therapy (p = 0.01).
Conclusion: Our research indicates that recurrent ischemic stroke resulting from middle cerebral artery damage presents a higher number of risk factors, and the efficacy of recurrence prevention treatment is suboptimal.

Published: September 2024

Objective: To evaluate the severity of patients with primary cervical dystonia and the effectiveness of treatment with botulinum toxin A (Dysport  based on the Tsui scale
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of all patients with primary cervical dystonia treated with botulinum toxin A injections at Tam Anh General Hospital from November 2022 to April 2024. Patients were assessed in detail on the Tsui scale before and after treatment 4-6 weeks. Patients were considered to have improvement when the Tsui score after treatment decreased by at least 30% compared to before treatment.
Results: There were 17 patients (12 men and 5 women) who met the criteria in our study. The Tsui score before treatment in the male patient group, complex disease, with tremor was higher than that in the female patient group, simple disease, without tremor (p< 0.001). 100% of patients responded to treatment with an average improvement rate of 0.56. The Tsui score after 4-6 weeks of injection (4.59 ± 2.87) improved significantly compared to before treatment (9.71 ± 4.34) (p< 0.001).
Conclusion: Our research has demonstrated an enhancement in Tsui score following treatment with BoNT among patients with cervical dystonia. The Tsui score is an objective measure for evaluating treatment effectiveness and should be more widely used in clinical practice.

Authors: Phan Hoang Phuong Khanh , Phan Dang Anh Thu , Thirugnanam Umapathi , Nguyen Huu Cong
Published: September 2024

Introduction and Aims: Immune mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is a sub-type of inflammatory myopathies (IIM) that presents with significant muscle weakness, elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels and histopathological features of muscle fiber necrosis, with and without myositis specific antibodies. The aims of this study was to clarify clinical characteristics and autoimmune antibodies (Ab) of patients with immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) in Vietnamese patients.
Methods: A retrospective, single centre, case-series, describing the clinical manifestations and laboratory profile, including types of muscle specific antibodies in patients with IMNM.
Results: 12 consecutive patients with IMNM, 2 male and 10 female were studied. All of our patients had symmetric, predominantly proximal muscle weakness. 10 patients (83.3%) had severe weakness (MRC≤3/5) and mRS ≥ 3. 8 patients (66.7%) had elevated CK levels of more than 1000UI/L. 33.3% had anti- SRP (signal recognition particle) Ab and 25% had anti- HMGCR (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase) Ab. The proportion of patients with muscle atrophy, neck weakness, dysphagia and dyspnea between anti-SRP and anti-HMGCR groups did not differ significantly (p> 0.05). Severe muscle atrophy was seen in 1 seronegative patient (25%) and 6 seropositive patients (87.5%), p<0.05. No evidence of an underlying malignancy was found in any patient. Half the patients with anti-SRP Ab (n=2) and 66.7% of those with anti-HMGCR Ab (n=2) had severe weakness, with mRS scores 3–5 (p>0.05) even after treatment. 100% (n=4) of seronegative IMNM and 37.5% (n=3) of seropositive IMNM had significant improvement, with mRS scores 1-2 (p<0.05) after treatment.
Discussions: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy in our series, is associated with SRP Ab in one third and HMGCR Ab in one quarter of patients. We did not find significant difference between these two groups with regards to clinical features, risk of malignancy and lung involvement and response to immunotherapy. Muscle atrophy was more common in seropositive patients and they appeared to respond less well compared to the 4 seronegative patients to immunotherapy.

Published: September 2024

Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a fatally progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by variable combinations of parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic dysfunction. Lower urinary tract dysfunction, as a manifestation of autonomic failure is one of   core clinical features for a diagnosis of MSA, yet it is often underrecognized especially in the early stage of the disease
Objective: The study aimed to describe lower urinary tract symptoms and residual urine volume in early MSA.
Subjects and methods: This was a cross-sectional study including MSA patients with disease duration of less than 5 years. Demographic and clinical characteristics were collected. All participants were assessed with UMSARS, IPSS, OABSS scores, and abdominal ultrasound was performed to measure residual urine volume.
Results: 32 MSA patients were recruited, all of whom reported lower urinary tract symptoms. Urge incontinence was the most common symptom (93.8%). Symptoms related to voiding were found in 85.7% of MSA-C patients and 88.9% of MSA-P patients. Postvoid residual urine volume > 100 ml was recognized in 28% of patients. There is no statistically significant difference observed in the rate of PVR abnormalities between the MSA-C and MSA-P subgroups (p> 0.05).
Conclusion: Lower urinary tract symptoms and abnormal residual urine volume are frequently present even in the early stage of MSA with no significant differences between different clinical subtypes.

Fuzzy modelling of the environmental component of social security
Authors: Sharkadi Marianna , Dorovtsi Adam
Published: September 2024

Economic growth has several negative consequences for the environment. At first glance, the impact of the environment on the well-being of the population may seem insignificant. Still, several scientific studies demonstrate that the state of the environment has no less impact on the well-being of the population than economic or social factors. This study aimed to assess Ukraine’s environmental well-being in comparison with the member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The assessment of environmental well-being is based on indicators from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Better Life Index and the Environmental Performance Index. Fuzzy set theory is used to research and evaluate environmental well-being. During the study, a fuzzy inference system was constructed, which was used to obtain an assessment of Ukraine’s environmental well-being compared to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries. Three indicators were used in the study: air pollution, sanitation and drinking water, and agriculture. Results indicate that compared to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, Ukraine is on the border between medium and high levels of environmental well-being. The research findings are supported by the Environmental Performance Index, where Ukraine ranked 41st out of 180 countries in 2024, climbing 11 positions compared to 2022. Although Ukraine has already demonstrated progress in the Environmental Performance Index in 2024 compared to the 2022 results, it can maintain such a trend only if it knows which specific environmental indicators need improvement. Therefore, the practical value of this research lies in demonstrating the environmental indicators that require improvement

In the dynamic world of digital transactions in India, the symbiotic relationship between convenience and vulnerability has become increasingly apparent. This study aims to know how digital payment and fraud connect in Indian economy. The primary objective of this study is to know the relationship between financial fraud with digital payment infrastructures, value of digital payments, and volume of digital payment. The data is collected through RBI’s official quarterly reports from September 2022 to May 2023. The collected time series data for all the variables has been analyzed for descriptive statistics. These series were tested for stationarity using Augmented Dickey–Fuller test (ADF - unit root test), Correlogram, and time series chart. The correlation and regression analysis has been performed on this time series data using SPSS and EViews software. From the correlation results this study reveals that there is no significant correlation between value and volume of fraud with payment infrastructure, value of digital payment, and volume of digital payment. The value of UPI transactions has a significant negative impact on digital payment fraud, indicating a potential protective effect.

integration of local cultural knowledge in community products through the framework of cultural capital and wisdom across eight categories. A qualitative method involved in-depth interviews with 30 individuals, including 15 entrepreneurs and 15 cultural experts selected from five target communities. The findings reveal the context of local cultural knowledge available in the communities, and the integration of local cultural knowledge being integrated into the community product development processes. It is also found that despite the presence of diverse local cultures, these cultural resources are underutilized in product design and development due to a lack of knowledge and awareness regarding the significance of product identity.

Published: September 2024

Unlicensed driving presents a multifaceted challenge for authorities, with increasing road accidents attributed to limited mobility and heightened anxiety among drivers, often stemming from a lack of road safety knowledge and difficulties in concentration, highlighting the need for understanding emotional responses towards law enforcement and the significance of acquiring a driver's license. Furthermore, this research explores potential interventions to mitigate the risks associated with unlicensed driving and enhance road safety awareness among drivers. The researcher used a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore student unlicensed drivers' experiences. Eight students participated in in-depth interviews, and the data collected were analyzed using Collazzi's method. The results revealed the following recurring themes: emotional and physical challenges, mixed emotions and the privileges of a driver's license. The research findings show that young individuals driving without licenses encounter emotional and physical obstacles, exhibit varied reactions when faced with authorities, appreciate the significance of acquiring a driver's license, and emphasize the importance of responsible driving and compliance with legal requirements.

Using qualitative descriptive research methods, this study was conducted in Dahadano Botombawo Village, Hiliserangkai District, Nias Regency for 3 months. Research results show that deficiencies in key nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium can cause various symptoms in chili plants, including stunted growth and reduced fruit quality. Factors such as environmental conditions, soil quality, pest and disease attacks, and inappropriate cultivation practices also contribute to delayed plant growth. Proper maintenance, including selecting quality seeds, good soil cultivation, appropriate fertilization, and integrated pest and disease control, is very important to increase the productivity of red chili plants.
EL MARCO LEGISLATIVO DE LA FORMACIÓN VIRTUAL EN EL ÁMBITO UNIVERSITARIO Y LA FORMACIÓN PROFESIONAL
Authors: López Jiménez José Manuel , Castañares Luis Sebastián
Published: September 2024

La enseñanza del Derecho en el ámbito universitario y de la Formación Profesional se ha caracterizado tradicionalmente por establecer caminos completamente distantes y en absoluto complementarios, en los cuales el legislador ha actuado de forma aislada. Esta práctica se ha confirmado a la hora de implementar las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Así, mientras la Formación Profesional ha regulado y aplicado de una forma más convencida las distintas modalidades presencial, híbrida y virtual, en el ámbito universitario esta aplicación se ha producido regularmente de forma resignada, trasladando el ámbito presencial al formato telemático. En el presente capítulo derivado de la ponencia presentada en el I Congreso Internacional de Innovación en el Ámbito de las Ciencias Jurídicas organizado por la Universidad Isabel I se realiza un análisis de la legislación obrante respecto a la enseñanza del Derecho en ambos niveles educativos así como la necesidad de implementación de medidas de concienciación y formación para alumnos y docentes de cara a introducir una metodología que permita al alumno una actualización constante en las ciencias jurídicas y una capacidad crítica en un mundo en constante evolución.
A 100 AÑOS DE SU APARICIÓN: APLICACIÓN DE EL PROCESO DE KAFKA A LA DIDÁCTICA DE LA TEORÍA DEL DERECHO
Authors: Moratal Roméu Luca
Published: September 2024

La novela El proceso, de Franz Kafka, ofrece fértiles posibilidades a la enseñanza de la Teoría del Derecho. La presente contribución se incorpora a un rico acervo académico-docente de estudio y puesta en práctica de las mismas, con ocasión del primer centenario de la muerte del escritor bohemio y la publicación, póstuma, de la que muchos consideran su obra cumbre. En ella se pone de manifiesto cómo El proceso puede estimular la reflexión acerca de los fines de la ordenación jurídica de la sociedad y la idoneidad de unas y otras dinámicas de poder para satisfacerlos; la seguridad jurídica; el sentido de las garantías procesales; el impacto del derecho en la vida de la persona; la misma naturaleza del derecho y sus distintas concepciones; el fenómeno de la burocracia y la disolución de la responsabilidad; la idea kelseniana de la unidad del ordenamiento, o la diferenciación entre normas de eficacia general y normas de excepción. De igual manera, este clásico de la literatura universal no puede sino invitar a tomar conciencia crítica de la deriva de nuestros sistemas políticos y jurídicos, decantada precisamente en un sentido no muy distante del anticipado por Kafka un siglo atrás.
Watching and reviewing selected Korean dramas and Filipino dramas
Authors: Apuhin Mary Jean
Published: September 2024

As a teacher, it is essential to acquire various techniques in teaching or presenting lessons to make them exciting for students. The primary objective of this study is to examine the social conditions depicted in selected Korean and Filipino dramas and to develop a model for analysis. Documentary or content analysis was employed to determine the differences and similarities of the dramas. The study includes two Korean dramas and two Filipino dramas, selected based on similar themes and having been aired on television. The social conditions portrayed in each drama reflect and symbolize the country it represents. These social conditions provide awareness of the societal events and may open the viewers’ minds to take action in addressing the challenges faced by society. The differences and similarities in each country’s culture serve as a path to fostering a broader mindset that respects and values one another. Over time, these differences will bridge the gap, allowing for a deeper understanding and appreciation. Cultural differences will no longer be a hindrance but may instead influence one’s own culture. As a result of this research, a new model for analysis was developed. This study may also assist other researchers in gaining a deeper understanding of both local and foreign works in the context of globalization.
Identification of Prognostic Biomarkers and Tumor Immune Microenvironment about Uveal Melanoma
Authors: Ding Min , Shi Junfeng , Sun Yan
Published: September 2024

Uveal melanoma (UM) is a malignant eye cancer that has a high mortality rate and is notoriously difficult to diagnose clinically. Identifying prognostic biomarkers and evaluating the tumor immune microenvironment for UM in order to improve diagnosis, treatment decisions and even overall survival for patients. The study involved a comprehensive analysis of transcriptome profiling from the TCGA-UVM project, with the aim of identifying biomarkers and exploring the relationship between the tumor immune microenvironment and UM. A total of 32 differentially expressed genes and 25 RNAs associated with the overall survival (OS) of UM patients were identified. The fusion gene HSPE1-MOB4 was found to have the highest risk ratio, indicating it plays a key role in the survival rate of these individuals. Through similarity analysis of RNAs expression levels in UM, two subtypes were identified, and the survival rate for Type 1 was notably greater compared to Type 2. Using LASSO regression, a risk model was developed to identify five genes as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prediction of overall survival (OS) in patients with UM. Additionally, an association between the risk score and the fraction of immune cells in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment (TIME) was proposed. The observations revealed a significant contrast in both immune score and clustering between high-risk and low-risk groups. These findings offer new insights into approaches for immunotherapy and suggest potential therapeutic targets for individual UM patients.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is among the significant causes of death globally, caused by fatty deposits in blood vessel walls. Increasing evidence indicates that toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pivotal to atherosclerosis progression. The function of CD36 as a glycoprotein in atherosclerosis was also suggested. This study aimed to investigate the levels of TLR4, TLR6, and TLR7, as well as CD36 cell surface markers in CAD. Methods: This study included 64 patients undergoing angiography to determine whether atherosclerosis was present. The patients were categorized into two groups. The three main coronary arteries are all stenosed at over 50% in patients with CAD+ (n = 22) as cases and CAD− (n = 42) with smooth angiography as controls.
