Theoretical study of types of purchases and sales promotion in pharmacy
Authors: Katynska Maryna
Published: December 2023

Domestic scientists made a significant contribution to the research of pharmacy sales marketing, means of sales promotion and the proper principles of the organization of pharmaceutical service to the population.

But the modern pharmaceutical market is developing, and this requires research and generalization of methods of ethical stimulation of purchases by customers of pharmacies.

Sales promotion is fundamentally different from advertising. Advertising only describes the advantages of the product and thereby psychologically increases the buyer’s confidence in the profitability of the purchase, and stimulation always offers the buyer something tangible in return if he decides to buy.
Nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drugs and risks of ulceration and other complications: some results of the problem investigation and own clinical observations
Authors: Rudichenko V. M. , Reizin D. V. , Reizin V. I. , Sokolenko A. L.
Published: December 2023

Nonsteroidal antiinflamatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in clinical practice. Most widely used among them are “traditional” NSAIDs – 82,9 %, administration of selective COG-2 inhibitors was much less numerous. Starting from the primary care main attention upon using of mentioned drugs should be paid to safety, especially at chronic states, which require prolonged treatment. Safety should be in the center of attention considering influences on heart-and-vessel system and kidney. But mainly authors consider side effects on gastrointestinal tract, because of high spreading and severity. Moreover, side effects from lower segments of gastrointestinal tract demonstrate obvious trend for increasing. Some scientific results proved, that more than 40 % of injures connected with NSAIDs appeared in lower segments of gastrointestinal tract (small intestine and bowel). The article provides the results of own clinical observations of the case with multiple (eight) perforations of gastrointestinal tract upon uncontrolled self administered different NSAIDs by the multiply comorbided patient. We consider such a description demonstrative during practical classes in state and English languages at pre- and postgraduate levels.

By presenting actual cases the study also aims to comprehensively depict the great importance of forensic genetic analysis in Hungarian jurisdiction.Methodology: For this study, 51 cases representing 22 case types were chosen out of several thousand closed cases investigated by the Hungarian Institute for Forensic Science. Forensic genetic analysis of the presented exhibits and traces gave investigative leads and evidence for solving crime cases or for the identificationof unknown bodies, if the relevant biological material remains can be found and recorded at the scene.Findings: Since the launch of forensic genetic analysis in Hungary in 1992, it has gradually become possible to provide genetic evidence for criminal and public administration proceedings by DNA analysis of an increasing number and variety of human biological material residues in a growing number and variety of cases (from theft to serial murders). The presented 51 cases of 22 case types may provide proof of the applicability of forensic genetic methodology in almost any case in Hungary, provided the relevant exhibits and biological traces are found and collected at the (crime) scenes.Value: This is the first comprehensive case report review that presents the various types and the importance of human trace pieces of evidence analysed with forensic genetic methods in 22 case types of 51 Hungarian criminal and administrative proceedings.
Az okiratfordítás és a hitelesítés problematikája a tisztességes eljárásban, különös tekintettel az aggályos okiratokra és az elektronikus iratokra
Authors: Németh Gabriella
Published: December 2023

Aim: The study aims to provide guidance on how to avoid that forged evidence sneaks in Hungarian-language proceedings with foreign-language documents, even in the absence of relevant and detailed legislative provisions.Methodology: The fundamental problem is to consider which is serving better the certainty of judgment: translating a document of concern for the purpose of evidence in court, while indicating the fact that it is of concern, or refusing a request for a certified translation. The author has analysed the following sources: general principles and ethical guidelines for translators; rules of procedural law and legal literature on documentary evidence; case-law of the Curia of Hungary on the issue of certainty of judgment; instruments in force governing the activities of the Hungarian Office for Translation and Attestation Ltd. (OFFI or State Translation Agency) as well as previously repealed instruments on documents of concern; OFFI’s internal rules and regulations in force on handling documents of concern and translation certification.Findings: By virtue of the general legal principle of law, certified translations enjoy public confidence. As regards the certification of documents of concern, legislation on technical (aka specialised) translation and certified translation is incomplete. Only certified translations on paper or electronic documents with an unquestionable authenticity in the translation process, can be used for documentary evidence. Inappropriate use of terminology, ambiguous wording not specific to the source language, or translation of documents that are of concern for any other reason may lead to an unlawful or incorrect linguistic transmission of the content. As a language intermediary certification body, OFFI is responsible for the certification of document translations and its internal rules provide guidance on how to handle doubtful situations in a transparent manner.Value: Nowadays, social mobility goes hand in hand with an increase in the cross-border circulation of documents. At the same time, the increasing number of documents awaiting translation and appearing to be of concern may require to re-design the legislation applicable to those documents. In the appendix of the paper, the author departing from the OFFI’s existing system of concepts, provides a definition to a possible regulatory solution, while leaving it to the legislator to decide whether a document of concern should be translated, and then its certified translation should bear the translator’s remark on the concern about its content, or its certified translation should be refused anyway.

En este trabajo se describen los resultados y análisis de la investigación realizada en una muestra de 758 alumnos de Ingeniería de Sistemas Computacionales (ISC) del Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Poza Rica (ITSPR) que durante su trayecto escolar sufrieron la cuarentena COVID-19 del periodo de marzo de 2020 hasta enero de 2022. El objetivo del trabajo consistió en evaluar factores pedagógicos, estrategias educativas, evaluación, factores psicológicos, la focalización de contenidos y factores fisiológicos, que pudieron incidir en el rendimiento académico de los alumnos de la carrera de ISC del ITSPR; quienes previo al COVID -19, ya incursionaban en la modalidad presencial y manejo de TICs. Los resultados obtenidos surgieron de una encuesta virtual que recopiló la información de los factores mencionados anteriormente; su análisis se desarrolló en Excel y en la plataforma de Office365. Se encontró que el rendimiento académico de los alumnos de ISC presentó un impacto positivo a pesar de los resultados de los factores evaluados. Se concluyó y pone en evidencia el diseño de nuevos paradigmas y programas enfocados al aprendizaje autónomo con estrategias que fortalezcan las modalidades virtuales tanto en docentes como en los alumnos, así como el establecer enfoques centrados en el control emocional, estrés y aspectos de salud. Finalmente resulta imprescindible que los docentes integren experiencias vividas en las aulas virtuales para evaluar los aciertos y desaciertos; y que contribuyan a generar planes de acción en el desarrollo del aprendizaje bajo nuevos paradigmas virtuales.
An Examination of the Spiritual and Moral Importance of Contemporary Male Circumcision Ritual Among the Ameru in Kenya
Authors: Karicha Jona Mbaabu , Ifedha Stephen Akaranga , Musili Telesia Kathini
Published: December 2023

Ritualistic circumcision has been carried out in West Africa for over 5000 years. This was a revered rite and upheld in indigenous societies. In Kenya, almost all ethnic groups traditionally practice male circumcision. Those that do not include some people spilling over the Ugandan border (e.g., Teso and Chapadola), and the Turkana and Luo. The purpose is generally to facilitate a seamless transition of adolescent males to adulthood. However, this revered rite has been transformed in contemporary times and some societies do not practice it as it was done in the past.The study thus examined how circumcision is practised among the indigenous Ameru who inhabit both the Meru and Tharaka Nithi Counties of Kenya. It further underscored the changes that have affected the conduct of this ritual in contemporary society. It finally expounded on the future and continuity of this significant ritual among the Ameru. The research was carried out in the Ameru and Tharaka Nithi Counties in Kenya. The mixed methods approach proved appropriate for this study since the empirical data gathered from the field is important in examining the contemporary male circumcision ritual among the Ameru of Kenya. A total of eighty-eight respondents were purposefully sampled to participate in the study. They comprised 24 Njuri Ncheke Elders, 32 males from the eight age sets among the Ameru who underwent the traditional circumcision rite, and 32 youthful males from the Ameru age sets who underwent modern hospital circumcision. Apart from employing oral interviews with the selected respondents, open and closed-ended questionnaires were administered to them. The research findings established that circumcision is an important rite among the Ameru enabling the youth to transform into mature and responsible adult men. Religion, education, intermarriage, and other modern ways of life have transformed male circumcision among the Ameru. The churches, schools, and the Njuri Ncheke now undertake the educational and moral teachings of this important ritual. Apart from the physical nature of circumcision, elaborate seminars should be conducted to educate adolescent males on the importance of this ritual.

Migratory encounters, common idiom, and the king: The relationship between two Roma groups from Poland in transnational social space
Authors: MIRGA-WÓJTOWICZ ELŻBIETA , GARAPICH MICHAŁ P. , FIAŁKOWSKA KAMILA
Published: December 2023

Roma ethnicity presents scholars with plenty of conceptual and methodological challenges, which in the light of the increased mobility of that largest European minority after EU enlargements has additionally perplexed academics and policymakers alike. This article presents our fieldwork data derived from encounters and conversations with Roma individuals in Poland and England. Our approach to this issue is rooted in the emic perspective, examining how Roma people navigate and cope with their own heterogeneity. By focusing on the relationship between two Roma groups from Poland, namely Polska Roma and Bergitka (or Carpathian) Roma, we shed light on Roma’s practical approaches to their group identity. We explore what is at stake when boundaries are encountered, negotiated, and occasionally bridged, in particular when it comes to gender and conflict resolution strategies. In the article, we account for the two groups’ interconnections through the history of migrations and current modes of transnational living. We show how, interestingly, nationality or common country of origin may become the binding factor.

Mid-infrared Outbursts in Nearby Galaxies: Nuclear Obscuration and Connections to Hidden Tidal Disruption Events and Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Dodd Sierra A. , Nukala Arya , Connor Isabelle , Auchettl Katie , French K. D. , Law-Smith Jamie A. P. , Hammerstein Erica , Ramirez-Ruiz Enrico
Published: December 2023

We study the properties of galaxies hosting mid-infrared outbursts in the context of a catalog of 500,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that nuclear obscuration, as inferred by the surrounding dust mass, does not correlate with host galaxy type, stellar properties (e.g., total mass and mean age), or with the extinction of the host galaxy as estimated by the Balmer decrement. This implies that nuclear obscuration may not be able to explain any overrepresentation of tidal disruption events in particular host galaxies. We identify a region in the galaxy catalog parameter space that contains all unobscured tidal disruption events but only harbors ≲11% of the mid-infrared outburst hosts. We find that mid-infrared outburst hosts appear more centrally concentrated and have higher galaxy Sérsic indices than galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected using the Baldwin–Phillips–Terlevich classification. We thus conclude that the majority of mid-infrared outbursts are not hidden tidal disruption events but are instead consistent with being obscured AGN that are highly variable, such as changing-look AGN.
Karyotype diversity in the genus Nysius Dallas, 1852 (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Lygaeidae) is much greater than you might think
Authors: Golub Natalia V. , Anokhin Boris A. , Kuznetsova Valentina G.
Published: December 2023

We studied the karyotype and chromosomal distribution of 18S rDNA clustered in nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) in Nysius graminicola (Kolenati, 1845), belonging to the subfamily Orsillinae (Lygaeidae). It is shown that this species has a karyotype with 2n = 22(18+mm+XY), previously known in only one of 24 studied species of the genus Nysius Dallas, 1852, characterized by a similar karyotype, 2n = 14(12+mm+XY). In N. graminicola, 18S loci are located on sex chromosomes, which is a previously unknown trait for this genus. Our results in a compilation with previous data revealed dynamic evolution of rDNA distribution in Nysius. It is concluded that molecular chromosomal markers detected by FISH contribute to a better understanding of the structure and evolution of the taxonomically complex genus Nysius.
Digital objects to make computable biomedical knowledge FAIR: an infrastructural approach to knowledge representation, dissemination and implementation
Authors: Conte Marisa , Flynn Allen , Barrison Philip , Boisvert Peter , Landis-Lewis Zach , Friedman Charles
Published: December 2023

We present our work to develop digital objects to represent and convey a specific category of scientific knowledge: computable biomedical knowledge (CBK). Properly developed, validated, implemented and stewarded, CBK has the potential to accelerate the translation of actionable knowledge from scientific discovery to clinical application.

Our research takes an infrastructural approach to CBK, initially by focusing on the creation of a conceptual model for packaging computable biomedical knowledge - the Knowledge Object (KO) - and on corresponding efforts to create an architecture for KO management and implementation. Additionally, our work is grounded in the FAIR principles, such that KO artefacts should be findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable and we are exploring aligning KOs with emerging best practices for FAIR Digital Objects (FDO).

The outcomes of this work resonate in clinical contexts, health professions education, healthcare quality improvement, biomedical and translational research and population care. Our KO model is also of interest to researchers and practitioners interested in knowledge science, including those working with semantic technologies and other forms of digital objects.

Romains 16,25-27 : le mystère d’une péricope qui parle de mystère
Authors: Rastoin Marc
Published: December 2023

L’authenticité de la doxologie à la fin de Romains, en Rm 16,25-27, a longtemps été discutée. Elle contient une relecture de la lettre aux Romains en même temps qu’une anticipation des lettres ultérieures (Éphésiens et Colossiens). Selon Marc Rastoin , l’ajout de cette doxologie est un témoin clef du processus canonique de la fin du i er siècle. Cet ajout montre comment les chrétiens de la troisième génération ont voulu créer des ponts entre les différentes lettres et unifier le corpus paulinien.
Intégralisme religieux et société libérale. Le cas des juifs orthodoxes en France, des années 1980 à nos jours
Authors: Strack Frédéric
Published: December 2023

Cette thèse envisage la tension entre une conception englobante de la religion portée par les juifs orthodoxes et une conception privatisée et plurielle en vigueur dans la société française, une société laïque et sécularisée, des années 1980 à nos jours. Cette tension est explorée depuis ces deux points de vue. D’une part, la thèse interroge la façon dont les juifs orthodoxes s’organisent pour ménager l’espace jugé nécessaire à leur pratique religieuse. Pour ce faire, elle explore leurs besoins, leurs demandes, ainsi que les stratégies qu’ils mettent en œuvre pour les porter. D’autre part, la thèse soulève la question de la gouvernance publique du religieux. Pour ce faire, elle étudie la manière dont l’État laïc appréhende une minorité religieuse, qui semble aller à contre-courant du mouvement de fond de la sécularisation. À partir d’un protocole de recherche mixte, et en mobilisant la sociologie électorale, la sociologie de l’action collective, l’analyse des politiques publiques et des outils de sociologie de la religion, la thèse teste la consistance de l’intégralisme des juifs orthodoxes dans la société française. Elle réfléchit ainsi à la gouvernance de minorités religieuses intégralistes, à partir d’un autre cas que l’islam, et distingue ce qui relève d’une religion en particulier ou de l’orthodoxie. Elle montre une érosion de l’intégralisme religieux, du fait de réponses défavorables des institutions publiques et de la sécularisation qu’il ne parvient pas à enrayer.
UE / Russie, la rupture. Un état des lieux de la crise énergétique
Authors: Bafoil François , Fodor Ferenc , Guyet Rachel
Published: December 2023

La guerre en Ukraine a entraîné de la part de l’Union européenne une série de réponses – financières, industrielles, militaires, humanitaires et énergétiques – dont le plan RePowerEU se révèle la réponse la plus élaborée, tant en matière de politique extérieure avec la recherche de nouveaux partenariats qu’intérieure avec le renforcement des politiques en faveur des énergies renouvelables. Considérés ensemble, ces différents niveaux d’intervention témoignent du changement considérable de l’action collective européenne et constituent le signe de sa cohésion interne que l’intervention russe a paradoxalement renforcée .
Les conséquences sociales de la crise des prix de l’énergie en Europe
Authors: Guyet Rachel
Published: December 2023

Le conflit ukrainien a provoqué une crise énergétique qui a aggravé la situation de précarité énergétique de nombreux ménages européens. Malgré le primat du marché dans les discours européens, l’Union européenne a rapidement appelé les États membres à mettre en œuvre des dispositifs temporaires et ciblés pour absorber les chocs sociaux provoqués par la flambée des prix de l’énergie. Face à l’urgence, les interventions des États nationaux ont permis d’amortir les conséquences socio-économiques. Cependant, leurs effets redistributifs s’avèrent limités. La crise semble être une occasion manquée de développer des mesures structurelles de protection des consommateurs à long terme. À l’heure où les boucliers tarifaires sont progressivement supprimés, le retour à la normalité souligne l’absence criante de filet de sécurité pour les citoyens face à la volatilité du marché sur le long terme.
The Russian Disruption and its Repercussions on Italy’s Energy System
Authors: Figini Ginevra , Sancha Moreno Rosendo
Published: December 2023

L’Italie, comme d’autres pays européens, est confrontée à des problèmes d’approvisionnement en énergie depuis l’éclatement du conflit russo-ukrainien, ce qui soulève la question de la souveraineté énergétique. En raison de la forte dépendance au gaz naturel russe, les gouvernements de Mario Draghi et de Giorgia Meloni ont dû prendre des mesures pour contrer les effets sur la population et l’économie italiennes. Leur stratégie s’est concentrée sur l’amélioration de la sécurité énergétique par le renforcement des accords commerciaux avec les partenaires d’Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient et le redéploiement des énergies renouvelables, ainsi que sur des politiques d’atténuation soutenant les groupes sociaux vulnérables, les services publics de l’énergie et les entreprises. Dans l’ensemble, les conséquences de la guerre ont été plus une chance qu’un malheur pour l’Italie. Bien qu’elle ait provoqué une crise énergétique et une inflation qui ont pesé sur les citoyens et les entreprises, elle a également conduit l’Italie à réduire sa dépendance à l’égard de la Russie, à renforcer sa position internationale et ses liens avec les pays voisins et à accélérer la transition énergétique.

A novel analysis of the time-fractional nonlinear dispersive K(m, n, 1) equations using the homotopy perturbation transform method and Yang transform decomposition method
Authors: Ganie Abdul Hamid , Mofarreh Fatemah , Khan Adnan
Published: December 2023

The main features of scientific effort in physics and engineering are the development of models for various physical issues and the development of solutions. In this paper, we investigate the numerical solution of time-fractional non-linear dispersive K(m, n, 1) type equations using two innovative approaches: the homotopy perturbation transform method and Yang transform decomposition method. Our suggested approaches elegantly combine Yang transform, homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and adomian decomposition method (ADM). With the help of the Yang transform, we first convert the problem into its differential partner before using HPM to get the He's polynomials and ADM to get the Adomian polynomials, both of which are extremely effective supports for non-linear issues. In this case, Caputo sense is used for defining the fractional derivative. The derived solutions are shown in series form and converge quickly. To ensure the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed approaches, the examined problems were analyzed using various fractional orders. We analyze and demonstrate the validity and applicability of the solution approaches under consideration with given initial conditions. Two and three dimensional graphs reflect the outcomes that were attained. To verify the effectiveness of the strategies, numerical simulations are presented. The numerical outcomes demonstrate that only a small number of terms are required to arrive at an approximation that is exact, efficient, and trustworthy. The results of this study demonstrate that the studied methods are effective and strong in solving nonlinear differential equations that appear in science and technology.
A Survey on Open Access Publishing Preferences of Indian Scholars
Authors: Babu H Rajendra , Srilakshminarayana G , Vysakh C , Chandrakala B R
Published: December 2023

This article discusses the findings of a survey to determine the Indian scholarly community’s preferences in open access (OA) publishing. Three hundred responses were obtained from five top-ranked Indian life science research institutions. All respondents opined that their research work seeks to reach maximum readership, and 88.7% indicated OA articles can be circulated without restrictions. A vast majority (90.67%) felt that OA journals reach readers, and there was no significant variation among institutions on aspects of OA publishing except for reaching scholars (chi-square=11.010, p=.026). The majority of respondents who prioritized high impact in their choice of publication significantly also favored brand value. The least significance was found in preference for diamond OA, or OA journals that do not charge author fees (chi-square=14.596, p=.006). Those who didn’t intend to pay an article processing charge (APC) were statistically different among institutions. A diverse opinion was observed among the institutions regarding unrestricted access to the publications for end-users (chi-square=11.722, p=.000) and dislike of publishing in paid OA journals (chi-square=12.116, p=.017). Authors’ reasons for publishing in OA journals and attracting more citations as encouragement to publish in OA journals were similar among the institutions. A statistically significant difference was observed among authors who quoted freedom of and free access to scholarship as reasons for publication (chi-square=11.722, p=0.0001). The article recommends libraries and library and information science (LIS) professionals raise awareness of OA and its publishing policies, platforms, and funding agencies and encourage OA by making budgetary provisions for supporting APCs.
Revendication, récupération, correction... lorsqu’un chorégraphe décide d’écrire sa propre histoire : le cas de l’autobiographie de Mikhaïl Fokine
Authors: Kitahara Mariko
Published: December 2023

Cet article envisage de mettre en lumière comment un danseur intervient dans la construction ou la déconstruction de sa propre histoire. Notre analyse porte sur le chorégraphe Mikhaïl Fokine (1880-1942) et son autobiographie, rédigée à partir de 1937 et publiée en 1961 à titre posthume. Grâce à ses correspondances avec Cyril Beaumont, un de ses biographes, et avec Oliver Sayler, éditeur de son autobiographie de son vivant, conservées au Victoria & Albert Museum de Londres, nous pouvons retracer son engagement dans les controverses sur l’histoire de la danse, d’abord en tant que conseiller/réviseur pour ses biographes, puis en tant qu’auteur de sa propre histoire. Sa frustration face aux mémoires rédigées par d’autres sur son art, son désir presque obsessionnel de les « corriger », sont symptomatiques de la nouvelle génération du ballet du XXe siècle, ancrée dans l’originalité d’un chorégraphe-créateur, dont il était un des pionniers.
A Deep Understanding of Long Short-Term Memory for Solving Vanishing Error Problem
Authors: Ravikumar Aswathy , Sriraman Harini
Published: December 2023

Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a specific kind of recurrent neural network (RNN) structure that addresses the constraints of conventional RNNs in effectively capturing and learning long-term relationships in sequential input. In this chapter, the authors examine the LSTM cell and its modifications to investigate the LSTM cell's capability for learning. Furthermore, future study prospects for LSTM networks are outlined. LSTM networks have gotten extensive attention in scientific papers, technical websites, and deployment manuals because of their efficacy in a variety of practical situations. Gradient-based learning techniques used in RNNs are too slow because as the error is transmitted back, it disappears, resulting in a much more extended learning period. LSTMs handle the issue with a novel additive gradient design that incorporates direct access towards the forget gate's activations, allowing the network to promote desirable behavior from the error gradient by updating the gates often at each time step of learning.

Published: December 2023

The prominence of technological progress is evident only when its fruits reaching the society. Any disruptive technology has such a profound effect; artificial intelligence is not an exception. This chapter highlights one such technological impact for the benefit of mankind. Alzheimer's is a known neurological illness, sometimes leading to terminal stage of human life. The treatment becomes complicated when diagnosis takes place at a later stage of the disease. The prognosis and diagnosis, if supported by a technology such as artificial intelligence, will be made better by delaying the disease progression. In this chapter, machine learning algorithms such as random forest, cross validation method is used to analyze, train, and predict Alzheimer's disease and its progression. This in turn helps in improving the emotional support system to the patients. Several research groups are working on this domain, and here the insights provided are going to be more significant and useful for further investigations.
SRAM Memory Testing Methods and Analysis
Authors: Parvathi M.
Published: December 2023

In the scenario of growing technologies towards single digit nanometer range, the existing algorithmic contemporary test methods have become inadequate in detecting all the faults within the static random access memory. To address the issues related to contemporary test methods, machine learning-based test analysis is proposed, which elevates the method of dataset preparation using various process parameters that are drawn from functional fault models (FFMs). The outcome of this proposed work is modeling of FFMs using ML regression, classification, and further prediction with accuracy analysis. The experiments resulted that logistic regression is best suited model that resulting with high accuracy in the range of 95% to 97%, compared to the linear regression model that results in accuracy levels in the range of 26.58% to 63%.

Glial cells were once thought of as simple support players in the central nervous system (CNS). However, the latest studies of glial cells have shown that they are actually of significance and play a variety of functions. Once thought to be passive supportive cells, astrocytes are now important in maintaining neurotransmitter balance, controlling synaptic activity, and regulating blood flow in the brain. Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, besides making myelin, are closely involved in controlling how fast nerve signals travel and maintaining the health of axons. Microglia had been thought to be only immune observers, but they also help to control the immune response and control synapses. Ependymal cells, which are sometimes ignored, are important in regulating cerebrospinal fluid circulation, directing the location of neural stem cells, and enabling cell communication. This chapter explores distinct glial cell types -astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, microglia, and ependymal cells- highlighting their newfound, intricate functionalities and interactions with neurons.

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDD) are chronic conditions that lead to nerve cells degeneration in the central nervous system. The most common NDD are Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Huntington's disease (HD). Parkinson's disease (PD) is recognized as the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Huntington disease (HD). Astrocytes reprogramming has been recently proposed as one of the most important treatments to stop the progression of these neurological diseases. By targeting the microRNA, astrocytes in the animal brain could be reprogrammed into various functional neural systems. Activation of endogenous genes could be a revolutionary therapeutic approach for treating neurological diseases. Reprogrammed astrocytes could also be used to generate various types of neurons lost in case of Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. The ability to reprogram astrocytes into functional neurons was classified as a new advancement for PD, AD, and HD treatments.

This study comparatively examines WHO's utilization of TikTok in health communication during and after the pandemic. Employing content analysis, the research dissects WHO's TikTok account, encompassing engagement, video formats, types, message functions, characters, and emotional elements. Findings highlight WHO's dissemination of instructive and motivational content, predominantly focusing on COVID-19 and other diseases. During the pandemic, WHO educated the public on symptoms and transmission modes while issuing warnings about potential outbreaks. Animated graphics gained prominence, and healthcare professionals conveyed positive messages. Post-pandemic, posting frequency decreased, and content strategies shifted. Optimistic content, increased involvement of public figures, and targeting younger audiences through dance videos characterized this phase.
Reasons for News Avoidance on Mobile News Consumption
Authors: Saran Ceren
Published: December 2023

This study examined different news-following practices via mobile phones and questioned the reasons for news avoidance behaviour. In the study where in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 participants, 15 participants remarked that they had news avoidance. Five reasons for news avoidance behaviour have been identified: (1) disappointment, frustration, and stress avoidance; (2) losing curiosity; (3) lack of confidence and distrust of the media industry; (4) reduced quality and poor content of the news; and (5) overstimulation of the user. In the study, which revealed various news follow-up methods, it was seen that the main reason for news avoidance behaviour is the political atmosphere and social despair in Turkey and the world. News avoidance behaviour is both intentional and unintentional and has become a vicious circle that participants cannot escape. The digital platforms shaped by algorithmic selection are the main actors that prepare this outcome for the user who wishes to ignore the social realities despite the many stimuli surrounding daily life.

This chapter examines the activities of the official Instagram and Facebook pages of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) in Portugal during the most critical period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Data were collected using social media APIs via CrowdTangle, resulting in 1,841 public posts spanning from March 2, 2020 to December 27, 2020. This period covered the onset of the pandemic and the launch of the national vaccination program. Social media platforms played a crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic. The key findings reveal Facebook had twice as many posts (n = 120) compared to Instagram (n = 64). April saw the highest post volume on Facebook (13.4%), while June was the most active month on Instagram (14.3%). Images were the dominant content format on both platforms, with 70.7% on Instagram and 80.5% on Facebook. Facebook experienced significant growth (497.0%) over 10 months while Instagram's growth was more modest (207.0%).
Changes in Advertising Campaigns in Times of COVID-19
Authors: Simon Jordi Serra
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 virus had a huge impact worldwide and its presence has also implied changes in some advertising campaigns. Given the mobility restrictions and new ways of socializing in times of lockdown, relevant advertisers modified their commercial messages in order to be coherent with the situation lived by most consumers. This research is aimed at understanding the most significant changes in advertising campaigns, mainly on TV, promoted by selected advertisers during COVID-19 lockdown and some months later on. The main hypothesis of this research is that there is a clear relationship between what companies communicate and the circumstances and living experiences of most consumers. Through the qualitative content analysis of selected cases, it can be understood how brands changed their messages to demonstrate their commitment to their consumers; support governmental indications related to health, safety, and mobility recommendations; and, if possible, motivate consumers.

Published: December 2023

This study examines the hashtag activism of Twitter users who became slacktivists regarding pandemic restrictions and measures in Turkey's first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. From March 2020 to March 2021, 1,464,334 tweets regarding all 13 hashtag activisms, which were the most participated in each month according to the course of the pandemic, were collected using Twitter API and examined with big data analysis. Out of the 13 hashtag activisms with the highest number of tweets analyzed by month, the demand for measures and regulations to be taken to protect against the risks posed by the pandemic came to the forefront in 9, while the demand for lifting or easing the restrictions in 4 of them came to the forefront. Students, detainees and prisoners, and teachers were the actors of the most tweeted hashtag activism. The average mentioned rate of decision makers and authorities in the 13 activisms is 71.52%. As a result, in the first year of the pandemic in Turkey, hashtag activism supporting the implementation of measures and restrictions was more common.

Published: December 2023

This research employs the social exchange theory within a macro-external context to conduct a theoretical and empirical examination of the relationship between socially intelligent leadership and organizational performance. It explores, through multipath serially mediating mechanisms, the employee attitudes (reflected on employee motivation and organizational commitment) and employee behaviors (reflected on work engagement and organizational citizen behavior). The hypotheses of the study were tested using structural equation modelling based on data collected from 657 employees within 99 SMEs located in Greece. The analysis confirms the positive yet varying effects of the associated partial and serial mediating mechanisms. Specifically, the mediating mechanism through organizational commitment and work engagement demonstrates a stronger impact of socially intelligent leadership on organizational performance compared to the other mediating pathways. The research and practical implications are also discussed.
