The importance of neighborhood size for the study of white flight and ethnic residential segregation
Authors: de la Prada Àlex G.
Published: June 2023

The concept of “neighborhood” is crucial for ethnic residential segregation, but it is highly unclear what spatial unit the concept refers to when studying white flight. This paper asks at what distance from home in the neighborhood ethnic minorities prompt white flight. Based on Swedish registry data for Stockholm County (1998-2017), I find that white flight is mostly observed following growth in minorities’ presence within 300 meters from home, and that growth occurring farther prompt virtually no out-mobility. I show that white flight dynamics are abruptly more likely to occur once minorities’ share in the residential area most proximate to home surpasses 10%, reaching a maximum when the share is between 15-20%.
Infrastructures of (non)knowledge: Fakes and fear at Europe's borders
Authors: Aradau Claudia
Published: June 2023

False identities, forged documents and fake narratives underpin discourses and practices of border control in Europe. Migrants are always under suspicion that they ‘fake’ their stories, suffering, passports, trauma or data. This chapter explores how infrastructures produce ways of knowing and not-knowing by drawing distinctions between and allocating people and things to categories of genuine and fake, authentic and inauthentic. By proposing to speak of infrastructures of (non)knowledge, I draw attention not just to ‘robust networks of people, artifacts, and institutions that generate, share, and maintain specific knowledge about the human and natural worlds’ (Edwards 2010), but also to how such networks enact boundaries between knowledge and non-knowledge. Detecting fakes requires devices, methods and experts that can deploy tests of authentication to decide which narratives, which documents and which embodied suffering is real or fake. As fakes are tied into the politics of fear, refugees continue to be under suspicion for fraud, of using fake documents and fake stories to have access to asylum. Fake data, forged documents or narratives can be detected at any point and even lead to the revocation of refugee status.
Damaged Collateral and Firm-Level Finance: Evidence from Russia's War in Ukraine
Authors: Shpak Solomiya , Earle John S. , Gehlbach Scott , Panga Mariia
Published: June 2023

How much has Russia's war in Ukraine damaged the collateral of Ukrainian firms, and how much damage has that caused the Ukrainian financial system? We address this question using unusually rich high-frequency supervisory data of Ukrainian banks combined with a survey of banks on the location and condition of corporate borrowers' collateral between February and November 2022. Exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in collateral value resulting from damage to collateral, we find that a 10-percent reduction in the collateral-loan ratio lowers the probability of getting any new loan by nearly eight percentage points; new lending falls by over two percentage points. Our results additionally imply that the same reduction in collateral value raises default rates and banks' assessment of firms' probability of default by approximately eight and four percentage points, respectively. The results imply that, in the absence of sufficient aid to repair the damage, Ukraine may experience reduced investment and lower economic growth in the future.

Published: June 2023

Abstract

Endovenous laser ablation therapy (EVLA) relies heavily on the power of the laser used. Therefore, the relationships between this power and other related parameters can be studied and taken into account in order to obtain successful results from the treatment. Not only the related parameters should be tested and examined, but some other parameters that may appear unrelated to the success of the EVLA treatment should also be studied in order to improve and succeed the venous treatment. Thus, the correlation coefficient between the applied laser power and age/gender was calculated in this study. The purpose of this study was to compare the laser power used in the EVLA procedure with age for the two genders. 42 patients who suffered from venous ulcers in the lower limbs of the human body were treated with a 1470-nm diode laser. So, the correlation coefficient was  for males and for females.
Supervisors’ Perspectives on Generic Difficulties Faced by EFL Students in Writing Thesis: A Multiple Case Analysis
Authors: Tiwari Hari Prasad
Published: June 2023

Writing a thesis is one form of academic writing that requires adequate research-related knowledge, interest, motivation, and effort. For this reason, students often consider thesis writing a challenging task. This qualitative multiple case study seeks to explore supervisors' perspectives on the difficulties faced by master’s level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students while writing theses in English Education. The participants consisted of eight thesis supervisors who have supervised at least ten master’s theses written by the students who studied English Education as the specialization subject at the Master’s level at constituent campuses under the Faculty of Education (FoE), Tribhuvan University (TU). I used simple random sampling to select the constituent campuses and purposive sampling to select the sample. I collected the data using a semi-structured interview. The interviews were conducted via a video conferencing tool named Zoom. According to the interest of the participants, the interviews were conducted in English, and all the interviews were audio-video recorded in Zoom. Recorded interviews were then transcribed and analyzed using the constant comparison method of qualitative data analysis. The findings show that the students' typical challenges with thesis writing were connected to their difficulty in integrating and generalizing related literature, their inability to prepare a theoretical framework, their lack of general knowledge of research, their lack of knowledge of citation and referencing, their difficulties in selecting appropriate methodology, and their inability to use academic language. The study concluded that EFL graduate students, regardless of their performance on the written examinations, depend substantially on their supervisors when writing a thesis.
Serum myostatin and irisin as predictive biomarkers of sarcopenia, malnutrition and mortality in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis
Authors: Motsiuk V. M. , Pentiuk N. O.
Published: June 2023

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are nowadays considered the main complications of liver cirrhosis (LC). Myokines are signal peptides synthesized in muscles that regulate muscle strength and mass and mediate crosstalk between skeletal muscles and other organs. It is unknown whether circulating myokines can be used as biomarkers of malnutrition and sarcopenia and have independent prognostic value in LC. The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship of serum levels of myokines myostatin and irisin with nutritional status, skeletal muscle status, and survival in decompensated LC patients. 74 patients (55.30±11.40 years) were involved in the prospective study. Nutritional status was assessed using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, and skeletal muscle mass was assessed using the Skeletal Muscle Index. The concentration of serum myostatin and irisin was determined by enzyme immunoassay. Statistical data processing was performed in SPSS22 (© SPSS Inc.). It was established that the concentration of serum myostatin and irisin is not related to the LC severity according to the Child-Turcotte-Pugh, Model For End-Stage Liver Disease, and the grade of ascites. Patients with overt encephalopathy have higher myostatin levels. Patients with severe hypoalbuminemia have higher serum myostatin and lower serum irisin levels. The development of malnutrition and sarcopenia in decompensated LC patients is associated with increased serum myostatin concentration and decreased serum irisin concentration. Serum myostatin level can predict sarcopenia (AUC 0.834 in males and 0.827 in females, p<0.01). Serum irisin level can predict severe malnutrition (AUC 0.830, p<0.001). The mortality of patients with high myostatin levels (above 5.25 ng/ml in males and 3.55 ng/ml in females) and low irisin levels (less than 1.72 ng/ml) is significantly higher. In conclusion, the circulating myokines levels may be useful in the assessment of nutritional and skeletal muscle status, and prediction of mortality in LC patients.

Published: June 2023

Sleep is an essential process for maintaining the body's essential biological functions, and disorders associated with it can cause various health problems, including cardiovascular disorders. The practice of physical activity comprises one of the most beneficial habits for a correct sleep regulation, improving its duration and depth. However, the cycle that involves the practice of physical activities, quality of sleep and cardiovascular diseases needs further elucidation, therefore, the objective of this work was to compare and correlate the quality of sleep with the risk of developing Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS), and the practice of physical activities, as well as cardiovascular diseases. For this, we carried out a cross-sectional, observational, prospective, epidemiological study, in which volunteers of both sexes, aged between 20 and 50 years, were evaluated regarding anthropometry, questioned using questionnaires on cardiovascular risk, sleep quality (Pittsburgh), presence of OSAS (Berlin) and physical activity practice (IPAQ) and had their lipid profiles evaluated. Comparisons and correlations between variables were established by different statistical analyzes (using p values ≤0.05). Volunteers with poor sleep quality had a higher BMI value, sum of four folds and body fat, less time of vigorous physical activity and lower HDL value, as well as a positive correlation with systolic blood pressure, waist-to-height ratio and risk of developing of SAOS. Volunteers at high risk of developing OSAS had higher values for SBP, DBP, BMI, waist/height ratio, sum of four folds and less time of vigorous physical activity, in addition to a positive correlation with poor sleep quality, total cholesterol and LDL. Thus, we conclude that volunteers classified as having poor sleep quality and high risk for OSAS practice physical activities less frequently and with reduced load, in addition to presenting higher values in the variables of the cardiac, anthropometric and lipid profiles, indicating a greater cardiovascular risk.

Authors: Subrata Sumarno Adi , Sahin Busra
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light some of the most severe flaws in the healthcare system, but it also sparked a flurry of ideas resulting in a significantly enhanced delivery system. These were innovations that were brought about as a direct result of a pressing need: telenursing for community services; telemedicine access and use skyrocketed; new hospital-at-home services emerged; ambulatory surgical centres expanded their menu of procedures; and a variety of novel therapeutics were introduced, including the widespread distribution of vaccines, new medical diagnostics, and innovative monoclonal antibodies. A new era of digital medicine during the endemic may be on the horizon due to the proliferation of new services that feature adaptable delivery methods. Therefore, healthcare professionals need to improve the system, including reevaluating and redeveloping it for a better quality of care in clinical settings and community.

Experience of Nurses Caring Critically Ill Patients Admitted in the ICUs of AIIMS, Jodhpur
Authors: Aktar Shoaib , Pandey Vandna , Kumar Ashok
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Critical care nurses possess competence in caring, leadership skills, teaching skills, and consultative skills. Caring for a patient provides experience and insight which creates behaviour that guides the nurse to deal with the specific situations in a particular way. These experiences can be used as a basis for improving patient care. Much attention is being focused on the nurse’s role to assist the physician in providing care to patients; little attention is being given to the nurse’s psychological, spiritual, and emotional well-being while dealing with critically ill patients, especially the dying ones. Aims: The aim of the study was to explore the lived experiences of nurses caring for critically ill patients. Methods: Phenomenological research design was used to conduct the study. Purposive sampling was used to collect the data from 14 critical care nurses meeting the inclusion criteria. In-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted which were audio recorded. Colaizzi’s framework was used to analyse the data. The level of trustworthiness was established by using the Lincoln and Guba framework. Result: Four themes and twelve subthemes were extracted from the study: Commitment to care, an ICU nurse and their family members, Challenges for ICU nurses, and Coping mechanisms. Conclusion: The study provided more profound insights into lived experiences of nurses caring for critically ill patients admitted to the ICU. Nurses face challenges in day-to-day life while managing critically ill patients. Several factors responsible for the stress of the nurses were revealed from the statements of the participants. The findings revealed that proper utilization of resources, effective coping strategies, a good working environment, training sessions, and improved staff ratio can be necessary to provide effective and quality care to the patients.

Authors: Yakovlev Petr
Published: June 2023

Against the background of the main global transformations and from the point of view of Russia's interests, the article analyzes the main trends (megatrends) characterizing the state and prospects for the development of Latin American countries. The author shows the configuration of the modern regional economic order, fixes the main landmarks, problematic topics and systemic intrigues of the current strategy of economic growth. The study focuses on new phenomena that determine the vector of transformations of key sectors of the Latin American economy - industry, finance, energy, mining, agriculture. It is shown that the focus of efforts of the state and the business community is shifting towards the priority development of those sectors whose products are especially in demand in regional and world markets. In each case, the possibilities of participation of Russian companies in the process of regional modernization are identified, as well as the difficulties and barriers faced by domestic business in the acute competition for Latin American markets. Special attention is paid to the attempts of overcoming regional political delimitation and updating the mechanisms and formats of intra-Latin American trade and economic cooperation. It is proved that there is no alternative to a new unifying economic strategy of the countries of the region, which imperatively includes a reboot of the stalled integration processes. The result of the analysis is that the consolidation of the trend of changes in the Latin American economy requires from the Russian state and business in many respects innovative and comprehensively calculated foreign economic decisions that take into account the new realities of Latin America and meet the long-term national interests of Russia.

The article investigates the impact of trade and economic relations on the development potential of the region formation in the context of regional theoretical concepts’ evolution. At the same time, with the use of systemic and synergistic approaches, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, historical and comparative analysis, it was established that there are two approaches to economic growth and development in relation to the study of the development potential of the region: economic growth associated with an increase in gross product per capita, and its volumes. On the other hand, economic development is a broader concept and means an increase in the standard of living of a person, some of which have an immeasurable (qualitative) nature. At the same time, the list of regional development concepts given in the work gives an objective opportunity to assert that these are processes caused by differentiated factors. The influence of which accumulates during the period of determining the potential of the economic state of the region. However, it should be remembered that the factors considered in the theories of economic development are based mainly on the description of its regular processes that take place in the conditions of established, developed market economies. At the same time, the application of such factors from the point of view of modern changes taking place in the world economy, to clarify the trends of regional development in the countries of Eastern Europe, the economic processes of which are subject to the transformation of the economy in accordance with the requirements of European integration, definitely requires their expansion and adaptation.

It was established that digitalization is considered as the introduction of various technologies into all spheres of social development. But to a greater extent, digital transformation is the key to development. Digital transformation is considered as the transformation of heterogeneous economic processes due to the introduction of new business models, strategies, systems, approaches and other tools due to the use of digital technologies. The use of digital technologies provides an opportunity to introduce new innovative, creative tools in various spheres of social development, as well as to increase the efficiency of the functioning of established processes. It is substantiated that the digitalization of regional economic systems occupies an important place in the development of regions, improving the quality of life of the population in all territories and increasing the level of economic security of the development of economic entities, the activation of international cooperation, etc. Digitization also plays an important role in ensuring the decentralization of power and the performance of functions that are delegated to localities. The main normative legal acts regarding the provision of processes of digital transformation of the regions of Ukraine have been studied. The positive consequences of the digital transformation of regional economic systems are singled out, which include: ensuring the speed of information transmission, its exchange, storage and processing; increasing the efficiency of management through the introduction of digital technologies; increasing the level of meeting the needs of consumers based on the timely determination of their requests; ensuring integration processes at different levels; facilitating access to services in the healthcare, education, and financial services system; overcoming corruption and increasing the transparency and efficiency of work of state and local authorities, etc.

Metalepsa to trop w tradycyjnej retoryce na polskim gruncie najczęściej wyłączany z grupy najbardziej znaczących zabiegów, ze względu na swoje funkcje podporządkowywany metonimii. W polskim literaturoznawstwie był najczęściej omawiany z punktu widzenia teorii narratywistycznych, podążających śladem Gérarda Genette’a, znajdujących doskonałe uzasadnienie w eksperymentach postmodernistycznej prozy. Ten artykuł uzupełnia rekapitulację francuskiej linii dyskusji o metalepsie o wątek amerykańskiej, poetycko-filozoficznej debaty o relacjach retoryki, poetyki i epistemologii, która to debata w latach siedemdziesiątych XX w., przez Paula de Mana podążającego za retoryką Friedricha Nietzschego, przyczyniła się do wypracowania krytycznoliterackiego stanowiska Harolda Blooma, znanego z Lęku przed wpływem.
Demoniczna teoria kultury. „JKB-Demon” Karola Irzykowskiego i „Leon Chwistek – Demon Intelektu” Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza
Authors: Kącka Eliza
Published: June 2023

Dwa pamflety, mające w tytule demonizm – JKB-Demon Karola Irzykowskiego i Leon Chwistek – Demon Intelektu Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza – należą do ważnych polemik dwudziestolecia, a wśród nich: do ambitnych przedsięwzięć poznawczych. Studium relacjonuje w trybie porównawczym zmagania Irzykowskiego i Witkiewicza z przygniatającymi autokreacjami Juliusza Kadena-Bandrowskiego i Leona Chwistka. Nieprzeniknione cechy osobowości tych ostatnich, rzutujące na ich dzieła, okazują się intelektualnym wyzwaniem godnym tytułowego epitetu. Zgłębiając – oprócz dokonań swoich przeciwników – także własną odrazę i fascynację, każdy z krytyków uświadamia sobie, że ogólna znajomość natury ludzkiej jest bezradna wobec zagadki „demonizmu”. Autorka stawia tezę, że dla umysłów ukształtowanych w dyscyplinie racjonalnej schyłku XIX w. nieuchwytny okazał się fenomen osobowości antynomicznych, „proteuszowych”. Choć ów niepokojący typ osobowości zgłębiała literatura (Stawrogin Fiodora Dostojewskiego, Kurtz Josepha Conrada), autorzy pamfletów okazują się niegotowi na konfrontację z nim w realnym życiu.
Irzykowski prekursor Witkacego, broń Boże – poprzednik

Analizuję retorykę sporu między Karolem Irzykowskim i Witkacym, traktując polemiczne wypowiedzi jako wyraz skrywanych resentymentalnych uprzedzeń. Spór ten interpretuję jako pojedynek dwóch nieuznanych intelektualistów, oskarżających się o anachronizm i przyznających sobie miano prekursora. W psychomachii Irzykowskiego i Witkacego podkreślam nieustanne wykraczanie obu pisarzy poza normy etyczne artystycznego sporu, przez nich samych postulowane.
Problem metalepsy. Od tropu do konceptu
Authors: Pawelec Dariusz
Published: June 2023

Pojęcie metalepsy odrodziło się w dyskursie teoretycznym oraz krytycznoliterackim jako efekt recepcji publikacji GérardaGenette’a z 1972 r.O swoistej modzie na ten trop mogłaby świadczyć liczba publikacji, w językach angielskim, francuskim czy niemieckim, szczególnie po rozwinięciuprzez Genette’a swojego konceptu w roku 2004. W istocie mówimy w tym wypadku o zastosowaniu – „aneksji” przez narratologię pojęcia z zakresu retoryki.W tym samym czasie termin jest rzadko używany poza tym obszarem. Leksykony i słowniki albo go pomijają, albo definiują, dość pobieżnie, w ślad za jednym z nurtów wykładni retorycznej, jako odmianę metonimii. Niemal równolegle z Genette’em wprowadzili metalepsę do swojego dyskursu, inspirowani filozofią języka Friedricha Nietzschego, przedstawiciele dekonstrukcjonizmu: Paul de Man, Harold Bloom i Joseph Hillis Miller. Ich pomysły teoretyczne oraz interpretacje sięgające po pierwotny, retoryczny sens metalepsy, demonstrujące jej niezależną, a nawet dominującą pozycję w systemie tropów, jako „figury figur” i jednego z master tropes, okazały się zdecydowanie mniej wpływowe od konceptu narratologicznego. Autor artykułu, analizując zmienne w czasie dzieje pojęcia, spychanego na marginesy typologii z racji przypisywanej mu funkcji „figury granicznej”, stawia tezę o wciąż niewykorzystanym retorycznym potencjale tego tropu. Podążanie tą zaniedbaną ścieżką prowadzi do metalepsy jako oryginalnej procedury poznawczej, w której, w ślad za niedostrzeganym dotąd modelem asocjacji umysłowej, typem wyobraźni, możemy opisać szczególną dyspozycję podmiotu i strukturę świadomości.
Kilka uwag o wyliczeniach, rzeczownikach i reportażach
Authors: Biernacka Jadwiga
Published: June 2023

W tradycji retorycznej i badawczej wyliczenie zyskało opinię figury możliwie neutralnej, oddającej chaotyczność świata, skupionej na szczególe. Z tego prawdopodobnie powodu wykorzystuje się je w tych utworach (zarówno fikcjonalnych, jak i niefikcjonalnych), których celem jest wywołanie wrażenia, że historia została ujęta obiektywnie, oraz wyrobienie w czytelniku zaufania do bezstronności narratora i wnikliwości opisu. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest weryfikacja tych założeń na przykładzie jednej odmiany enumeracji – zbiorów rzeczownikowych – na materiale polskiego reportażu XX i XXI w., a więc zbadanie, w jaki sposób forma wyliczenia (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem zbiorów zbudowanych z nazw własnych, synonimów oraz pojęć abstrakcyjnych) jest związana z żywiołami porządku i chaosu, szczegółu czy ogółu, subiektywizmu czy obiektywizmu, a także które z nich stanowią w tych utworach (lub ich fragmentach) zasadę organizacyjną.
Ó Dhaoirse go Saoirse?: Staidéar Téacsúil Aiteach ar dhrámaí Mhichíl Uí Chonghaile

Phillip O’Leary, in his 2017 An Underground Theatre: Major Playwrights in the Irish Language `1930-80, makes a stark summation of the current state of Irish language theatre, a genre that he warns may ‘sink into the oblivion’ (ibid.: 303). While undertaking a comprehensive reading of the plays of Mairéad Ní Ghráda, Eoghan Ó Tuairisic, and Críostóir Ó Floinn, O’Leary only touches upon one of Connemara’s most important and influential contemporary writers, Micheál Ó Conghaile, in his afterword. While recognised as a master of the short story, this paper will examine Ó Conghaile’s dramatic works, a genre he focused on during the period 2003-2009. Ó Conghaile’s plays mirror the shifting political, social, ideological, and cultural landscape of Ireland in the last thirty years. Focusing on Cúigear Chonamara (2003) [The Connemara Five], Jude (2007), and Go dTaga do Ríocht (2009) [Thy Kingdom Come], this paper will address how subversive identities interact and counteract with the Connemara landscape, with language, and with the notion of the home and family. Maintaining that space, place, and sex(uality) cannot be “decoupled” (Johnston and Longhurst 2010: 3), this paper will unearth subversive behaviours and bodies within the backdrop of contemporary Connemara.

The protein content of rice seeds is an extremely important quality trait, but its genetic basis and molecular regulatory mechanism are still unclear. This study focuses on a positive regulatory gene OsAAP6 of grain protein content in rice. Proteins that interact with OsAAP6 were screened using yeast two hybrid experiments, and validated using in vivo point-to-point experiments and bimolecular fluorescence complementarity tests (BiFC). The main results are as follows: 98 positive colonies that may interact with OsAAP6 were screened from a rice cDNA library using yeast two hybrid technology. After sequencing and analysis, 40 proteins that may interact with OsAAP6 were ultimately obtained. Through comparative analysis, three proteins (Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDR), WRKY, and GreA) were selected from these 40 proteins that may interact with each other. In vivo point-to-point experiments in yeast and bimolecular fluorescence complementarity (BiFC) experiments in rice were used to further verify that PPDK, WRKY, and GreA can interact with OsAAP6 protein, respectively. Therefore, the results of this study will provide important clues for further revealing the molecular mechanism by which the OsAAP6 gene regulates grain protein content.

The financial performance of a company can be predicted using various methods, one of which is linear regression and exponential smoothing. This study aims to predict the financial performance of PT Astra International Tbk using linear regression and exponential smoothing methods, as well as combining both methods to obtain more accurate predictions. Financial data from PT Astra International Tbk from 2012-2021 was used in this study. The results of the prediction with linear regression show that the current ratio has the lowest MAPE, while exponential smoothing shows that the debt to equity ratio has the lowest MAPE. In the combination of both methods, the lowest MAPE was obtained in predicting total asset turnover. In the discussion, factors that affect the financial performance of PT Astra International Tbk are discussed for each predicted financial ratio. In conclusion, the combination of linear regression and exponential smoothing can improve the accuracy of financial performance predictions, and the results can be used as a reference in investment decision-making.
