Authors: Cantú Esquivel Josué Alan , Ríos Bolívar Humberto , Jiménez Preciado Ana Lorena
Published: January 2023

Objetivo: analizar los componentes cíclicos entre variables económicas cuyos acoplamientos instauraron los mecanismos de propagación y causalidad en la formación del ciclo económico de la economía estadounidense. Método: se utiliza la técnica de sincronización de fase en series de tiempo para los componentes cíclicos de las variables sumada a un análisis de causalidad con un modelo VAR (Vectores Autorregresivos). Resultados: se encuentran los mecanismos de propagación entre variables mediante la secuenciación de los ciclos, reflejando los impactos de las decisiones de política monetaria en la economía agregada, transmitiendo inconscientemente ineficiencias en el desempeño y comportamiento de variables financieras y macroeconómicas. Recomendaciones: implementar análisis de componentes principales para capturar mejor los mecanismos de transmisión de política monetaria. Limitaciones e implicaciones: la dinámica de ajuste cíclico no es del todo pertinente para ser modelada en sistemas lineales. Principal contribución: se expone evidencia de una fuerte relación en subsistemas cíclicos de variables y la dinámica de transmisión y causalidad cíclica, revelando la generación de periodos de crisis económicas y financieras debidos a las decisiones de política monetaria.
Masa salarial y distribución del ingreso subnacional en México
Authors: Barcelata Chávez Hilario
Published: January 2023

Este trabajo tiene un doble objetivo: primero, la elaboración de un método para el cálculo de la masa salarial por estrato de ingreso en las entidades federativas de México. Para ello se utiliza la estructura salarial de los registros administrativos del IMSS, consistente en 25 estratos salariales. Segundo, con los resultados obtenidos, medir la distribución del ingreso factorial y el ingreso laboral, en cada estado, mediante un análisis comparativo entre estratos de ingreso y el cálculo del Coeficiente de Gini.
Se recomienda que Coneval, que es la institución que calcula esta variable con una muy amplia subestimación, realice su cálculo con este método. La limitante es que sólo se refiere a los ingresos derivados del salario. La originalidad radica en el uso de una estructura salarial que reconoce la diversidad salarial, evitando la subestimación por el uso de un salario promedio y una estructura salarial inadecuada. Se concluye que los datos obtenidos representan una información inédita, de alta confiabilidad y gran utilidad para el conocimiento de la masa salarial y la distribución del ingreso salarial estatal.

The study results showed that the implementation of PJB's social responsibility programs was focused on Community Involvement and Development (CID) by implementing four main pillars of the program, namely: PJB Smart Innovation, PJB Green Innovation, PJB Superior, and PJB Cares. CSR programs were implemented based on the company's social mapping, including four circular areas related to the community's needs. Overall, the implementation of CSR based on the Corporate Social Performance model at PT PJB positively impacted society socially, economically, and environmentally. At the same time, it also positively impacted the company by increasing its business performance.
Communication ethics in the book of Adabul Mufrad by Imam Al-Bukhari
Authors: Afifi Subhan , Setiawan Noor Akhmad
Published: January 2023

This paper aims to explore the notion of communication ethics in the Book of Adabul Mufrad by Imam Al-Bukhari. This study used an interpretive paradigm of qualitative text analysis methods by making Hadith as the text to be analyzed. The units of analysis are the texts of Hadith, which were examined closely for the patterns, models, and communication issues contained in them. The selection criteria for the Hadith selected for analysis included: Ethics regarding the communication process, including an explanation of Ethics in speech, and containing specific prohibitions in the communication process. Based on these criteria, 20 hadiths to be analyzed were selected. The results showed four patterns of ethical communication relationships in 20 hadiths chosen in the book of Adabul Mufrad by Imam Al-Bukhari, namely: (1) Relationships with fellow humans in general, (2) Parent-Child Relations, (3) Relationships with neighbors; and (4) Master-Servant Relationship. Furthermore, communication ethics in all forms of relationships showed five communication ethics patterns: (1) monotheism communication, (2) advice communication, (3) compassion communication, (4) communication without discrimination, and (5) communication without insulting. This paper highlights the ethics of Islamic communication as the ethical basis for the communication process in various human communication contexts. The ethical principles of Islamic communication open the entry of missing behavioral aspects of communication-based on religious values. This paper also provides the necessary theoretical framework for including religiosity and divine guidance in communication ethics.
Iterative Development, Validation, and Certification of a Smartphone System to Assess Neonatal Jaundice: Development and Usability Study
Authors: Aune Anders , Vartdal Gunnar , Jimenez Diaz Gabriela , Gierman Lobke Marijn , Bergseng Håkon , Darj Elisabeth
Published: January 2023

Background

Medical device development is an area facing multiple challenges, resulting in a high number of products not reaching the clinical setting. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, manifesting as neonatal jaundice (NNJ), is an important cause of newborn morbidity and mortality. It is important to identify infants with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia at an early stage, but currently there is a lack of tools that are both accurate and affordable.

Objective

This study aimed to develop a novel system to assess the presence of NNJ. The device should provide accurate results, be approved as a medical device, be easy to use, and be produced at a price that is affordable even in low-resource settings.

Methods

We used an iterative approach to develop a smartphone-based system to detect the presence of NNJ. We performed technical development, followed by clinical and usability testing in parallel, after which we initiated the regulatory processes for certification. We updated the system in each iteration, and the final version underwent a clinical validation study on healthy term newborns aged 1 to 15 days before all documentation was submitted for conformity assessment to obtain Conformité Européenne (CE) certification. We developed a system that incorporates a smartphone app, a color calibration card, and a server.

Results

Three iterations of the smartphone-based system were developed; the final version was approved as a medical device after complying with Medical Device Regulation guidelines. A total of 201 infants were included in the validation study. Bilirubin values using the system highly correlated with total serum or plasma bilirubin levels (r=0.84). The system had a high sensitivity (94%) to detect severe jaundice, defined as total serum or plasma bilirubin >250 µmol/L, and maintained a high specificity (71%).

Conclusions

Our smartphone-based system has a high potential as a tool for identifying NNJ. An iterative approach to product development, conducted by working on different tasks in parallel, resulted in a functional and successful product. By adhering to the requirements for regulatory approval from the beginning of the project, we were able to develop a market-ready mobile health solution.

Understanding Prospective Physicians’ Intention to Use Artificial Intelligence in Their Future Medical Practice: Configurational Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Wagner Gerit , Raymond Louis , Paré Guy
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Prospective physicians are expected to find artificial intelligence (AI) to be a key technology in their future practice. This transformative change has caught the attention of scientists, educators, and policy makers alike, with substantive efforts dedicated to the selection and delivery of AI topics and competencies in the medical curriculum. Less is known about the behavioral perspective or the necessary and sufficient preconditions for medical students’ intention to use AI in the first place.

OBJECTIVE

Our study focused on medical students’ knowledge, experience, attitude, and beliefs related to AI and aimed to understand whether they are necessary conditions and form sufficient configurations of conditions associated with behavioral intentions to use AI in their future medical practice.

METHODS

We administered a 2-staged questionnaire operationalizing the variables of interest (ie, knowledge, experience, attitude, and beliefs related to AI, as well as intention to use AI) and recorded 184 responses at t0 (February 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic) and 138 responses at t1 (January 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic). Following established guidelines, we applied necessary condition analysis and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to analyze the data.

RESULTS

Findings from the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis show that the intention to use AI is only observed when students have a strong belief in the role of AI (individually necessary condition); certain AI profiles, that is, combinations of knowledge and experience, attitudes and beliefs, and academic level and gender, are always associated with high intentions to use AI (equifinal and sufficient configurations); and profiles associated with nonhigh intentions cannot be inferred from profiles associated with high intentions (causal asymmetry).

CONCLUSIONS

Our work contributes to prior knowledge by showing that a strong belief in the role of AI in the future of medical professions is a necessary condition for behavioral intentions to use AI. Moreover, we suggest that the preparation of medical students should go beyond teaching AI competencies and that educators need to account for the different AI profiles associated with high or nonhigh intentions to adopt AI.

Authors: Le Roy Barbara , Martin-Krumm Charles , Poupon Charlotte , Richieri Raphaëlle , Malbos Eric , Barthélémy Fanny , Guedj Eric , Trousselard Marion
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Science is beginning to establish the benefits of the use of virtual reality (VR) in health care. This therapeutic approach may be an appropriate complementary treatment for some mental illnesses. It could prevent high levels of morbidity and improve the physical health of patients. For many years, the literature has shown the health benefits of physical exercise. Physical exercise in a VR environment may improve the management of mild to moderate mental health conditions. In this context, we developed a virtual environment combined with an ergocycle (the augmented physical training for isolated and confined environments [APTICE] system).

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the impact of physical exercise in a VR environment.

METHODS

A total of 14 healthy participants (11 men and 3 women; mean age 43.28, SD 10.60 years) undertook 15 minutes of immersive physical exercise using the system. Measures included mindfulness and immersion disposition, subjective perceptions of sensory information, user experience, and VR experience (ie, psychological state, flow, and presence).

RESULTS

First, the APTICE system appears to be a useful tool because the user experience is positive (subscales in the AttrakDiff questionnaire: pragmatic quality=0.99; hedonic quality–stimulation=1.90; hedonic quality–identification=0.67; attractiveness=1.58). Second, the system can induce a positive psychological state (negative emotion, P=.06) and an experience of flow and presence (P values ranging from <.001 to .04). Third, individual immersive and mindful disposition plays a role in the VR experience (P values ranging from <.02 to .04). Finally, our findings suggest that there is a link between the subjective perception of sensory information and the VR experience (P values ranging from <.02 to .04).

CONCLUSIONS

These results indicate that the device is well accepted with positive psychological and exteroceptive outcomes. Overall, the APTICE system could be a proof of concept to explore the benefits of virtual physical exercise in clinical medicine.
Positive Design Framework for Carer eSupport: Qualitative Study to Support Informal Caregivers of Patients With Head and Neck Cancer in Sweden (Preprint)
Authors: Ahmad Awais , Premanandan Shweta , Langegård Ulrica , Cajander Åsa , Johansson Birgitta , Carlsson Maria , Tiblom Ehrsson Ylva
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND

Informal caregivers of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), such as the patient’s spouse, other close relatives, or friends, can play an important role in home-based treatment and health care. Research shows that informal caregivers are usually unprepared for this responsibility and need support with taking care of patients and other daily life activities. These circumstances place them in a vulnerable position, and their well-being may be compromised. This study is part of our ongoing project Carer eSupport, which aims to develop a web-based intervention to facilitate informal caregivers in the home environment.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore the situation and context of informal caregivers of patients with HNC and their needs for designing and developing a web-based intervention (Carer eSupport). In addition, we proposed a novel framework for the development of a web-based intervention aimed at promoting the well-being of informal caregivers.

METHODS

Focus groups were conducted with 15 informal caregivers and 13 health care professionals. Both informal caregivers and health care professionals were recruited from 3 university hospitals in Sweden. We adopted a thematic data analysis process to analyze the data.

RESULTS

We investigated informal caregivers’ needs, critical factors for adoption, and desired functionalities of Carer eSupport. A total of 4 major themes, including information, web-based forum, virtual meeting place, and chatbot, emerged and were discussed by informal caregivers and health care professionals for Carer eSupport. However, most study participants did not like the idea of a chatbot for asking questions and retrieving information and expressed their concerns such as a lack of trust in robotic technologies and missing human contact while communicating with chatbots. The results from the focus groups were discussed through the lens of positive design research approaches.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provided an in-depth understanding of informal caregivers’ contexts and their preferred functions for a web-based intervention (Carer eSupport). Using the theoretical foundation of designing for well-being and positive design in the informal caregiving context, we proposed a positive design framework to support informal caregivers’ well-being. Our proposed framework might be helpful for human-computer interaction and user experience researchers to design meaningful eHealth interventions with a clear focus on users’ well-being and positive emotions, especially for informal caregivers of patients with HNC.

RESPONSE OF POTATO TO HEAT STRESS AND STRATEGIC METHODS TO COPE WITH IT
Authors: DESTA BIZUAYEHU , TENA NETSANET , AMARE GETACHEW
Published: January 2023

Because of its importance in the human diet, potato growth and development have received considerable scientific attention, especially the regulation of tuber development. The trend of potato production has been toward greater acreage in warm climates using cultivars that were developed for production in cool climates. However, low land tropical regions are characterized by high temperatures that limit successful potato cultivation. High temperatures in potato promote haulm growth and suppress tuber production, whereas disbudding and paclobutrazol have the opposite effect, promoting tuber production and reducing the growth of the haulms by inhibiting GA biosynthesis which was increased by high temperature. In addition, the germplasm base for potato is large and assessments of germplasm performance under challenging conditions have revealed new possibilities.

Dusta vrana management is a common problem, encountered by medical practitioners all over the globe, that is, non-healing chronic ulcer. Without early and optimal intervention, the wound can rapidly deteriorate and leading to amputation of the affected limb. Studies reveal that it is difficult to achieve the complete aim of wound management with a single drug. In the present study, Vipareeta Malla Taila is selected from Bhaishajaya Ratnavali and Yogaratnakar. It consists of Sindoor, Kushta, Hingu, Rason, Chitrka Root, Langali, Hartal, Sharpunka, Shudh Tutha, Shudh Samundrafena, etc. These drugs having properties of Vrana Shodhana (cleansing), Ropana (healing), Vedanashamana (analgesic), Shothaharana (anti-inflammatory and reducing swelling) and bactericidal. It is a single-blind clinically study where 20 patients were selected. The patient would were treated with Vipareeta Malla Taila. Vipareeta Malla Taila mentioned by Acharya Yogratnakar in the context of Vrana chapter is found efficacious in wound healing. The drug initially acts as a debriding agent removing slough and necrotic tissues and subsequently paves way for smooth and uninterrupted healing of the ulcer. Topical application of Vipareeta Malla Taila reduces pain, burning sensation, and itching. It also decreases discharge, edema, and also helps in gradual improvement in floor and granulation tissue. The semi-occlusive dressing of Vipareeta Malla Taila provides moist environment which enhances epithelialization, prevents scab formation, and can be easily removed from wound surface without causing pain or damage to the new growing epithelium. Hence, from the present clinical study, it can be speculated that Vipareeta Malla Taila possesses sufficient efficacy in Vrana Shodana and Vrana Ropana without producing any adverse effects.

Recent instances of novel biological circuits that enable cells to gain biosynthetic skills demonstrate synthetic biology’s therapeutic potential. Synthetic biology is a branch of biology whose primary role is to build completely functional biological systems from the smallest basic elements such as DNA, proteins, and other organic molecules to complex bacteria. This review briefly mentions some novel way of synthetic strategies like bacterial modelling, two-component systems, synthetic peptide, and synthetic flavonoids used for targeting biofilm and drug-stable microbial communities. Bacterial modelling was mainly done in Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma using different strategies like introducing quorum sensing devices and CRISPR-mediated editing. Synthetic peptides are also one of the extensively studied ongoing areas which are produced from natural peptides taking as a template and altering amino acid position. Flavonoids are produced by two-step reaction and molecular hybridization methods. This kind of synthetic approach reported significant biofilm dispersion and lethal effects on clinically relevant bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Streptococcus species and Klebsiella pneumonia.
Pressure Dependent Elastic and Thermo-Physical Properties of U Ternaries with ZrNiAl Structure Compounds
Authors: Husen S. T.
Published: January 2023

bstract: The Thermophysical and ultrasonic aspects of U- ternaries are examined theoretically under high pressure. In order to determine the second- and third-order elastic constants of U- ternaries (URhAl and ThRhAl) compounds under pressure conditions (0-45GPa), the potential model technique has been used. The assessed second-order elastic constants are used along with the pressure-dependent ultrasonic velocities, thermal relaxation time, and other significant and important thermophysical data to determine the orientation. It is observed that thermal relaxation time and mechanical & thermal properties exhibit an increasing trend with increasing pressure for U-ternaries URhAl and ThRhAl compounds. The effect of increasing pressure on the URhAl and ThRhAl compounds shows up as an increase in elastic constants, ultrasonic velocities, ultrasonic attenuation, and Debye temperature. The ratio B/G increases with pressure which indicates that the materials are ductile in nature. We have used the approximate values of SOECs, density, and lattice properties in calculating the melting point, ultrasonic velocity, and thermal conductivity.

Isu-Isu Alam Sekitar dan Perhutanan di Tanah Melayu sehingga Tahun 1901
Authors: Abd Malek Mohd Fazli , Haris Abu Hanifah
Published: January 2023

Hutan di Tanah Melayu merupakan satu anugerah yang tidak ternilai harganya. Perkara ini berikutan hasil buminya yang menjadi tarikan para pedagang asing dari Timur Tengah, China, India, termasuklah Eropah. Oleh itu, minat yang mendalam warga Eropah telah membawa kepada pelbagai usaha penyelidikan melalui penubuhan taman-taman botani di Negeri-Negeri Selat. Seterusnya, krisis alam sekitar yang kian memuncak menyebabkan lahirnya keinsafan untuk melindungi hutan daripada terus musnah. Maka, artikel ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan sejarah perhutanan di Tanah Melayu sehingga tahun 1901, iaitu sebelum pembentukan Jabatan Hutan di Negeri-Negeri Melayu Bersekutu, yang menjadi asas kepada penubuhan Jabatan Hutan di beberapa buah negeri di Tanah Melayu seperti Terengganu dan Kelantan. Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, iaitu kaedah kajian perpustakaan dengan merujuk sumber primer seperti laporan perhutanan dan akhbar, serta pelbagai sumber sekunder seperti buku dan artikel berkaitan perhutanan dan alam semula jadi di Tanah Melayu. Penulisan ini mendapati bahawa terdapat reaksi positif terhadap perkembangan sains alam semula jadi di Tanah Melayu dengan kewujudan taman-taman botani yang diuruskan oleh para penyelidik yang berkemahiran tinggi dari Eropah serta dibantu oleh warga tempatan yang gigih mempelajarinya. Seterusnya, krisis alam sekitar terjadi apabila berlaku konflik antara manusia dan alam kerana aktiviti perdagangan yang semakin aktif, manakala usaha pemuliharaannya pula masih di tahap minimum.
Sikap British Terhadap Penglibatan Jordan dalam Perang Enam Hari Arab Israel, Jun 1967
Authors: Zakariah Muhamad Hasrul
Published: January 2023

This study analyses the British’s attitude towards Jordan’s involvement in the Sixth day Arab Israeli War of June 1967. The Arab coalition was defeated in the war and subsequently the Arab territories were occupied by the Israelis. In Jordan, the Zionist regime occupied the West Bank including the eastern part of Baitul Maqdis which was under the Jordanian controls since 1948. Jordan loss of the war caused a significant impact on the political survival of King Hussein. This is due to the influence of the Arab radicalism and Palestine’s nationalist groups who resided at the East Bank of Jordan. There were two main issues plagued the king which were the influx of the new Palestinian refugees into Jordan’s soil and the occupation of Baitul Maqdis by the Zionist regime. These issues were not just a threat to the King’s throne and political survival but contributed a significant impact on the British’s strategic position in West Asia. By applying a history discipline methodology, most of the sources referred and interpreted in this study are the archival documents of the British government official records obtained from The National Archive in London. The analysis of the British’s action during the war indicated the actual British’s attitude towards King Hussein during the war. The findings of this study concluded that the motive of the British’s attitude towards King Hussein was to protect London’s interest in West Asia, particularly among the Arab moderate regimes.

Padi yang memiliki Bahasa latin Oryza sativa L adalah tanaman penting yang menjadi makanan pokok bagi bangsa Indonesia, Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah merupakan salah satu daerah yang sesuai untuk pengembangan produksi padi dan total produksi padi di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah pada 2 tahun terakhir mengalami penurunan. Dari pemasalahan yang dibahas sebelumnya memunculkan gagasan untuk meramalkan produksi padi kedepannya sebagai langkah untuk tetap menjaga ketersediaan stok padi. FBprophet merupakan salah satu metode peramalan  yang cocok untuk meramalkan produksi padi di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan hasil peramalan produksi padi mengalami penurunan pada tahun 2022 dan 2023 yang akan datang. Adapun nilai MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) sebesar 0.36% yang terdapat pada rentang dibawah 10% hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa tingkat kesalahannya sangat rendah atau tingkat akurasi peramalan dikategorikan sangat baik.
Estimating resistance surfaces using gradient forest and allelic frequencies
Authors: Vanhove Mathieu , Launey Sophie
Published: January 2023

Understanding landscape connectivity has become a global priority for
mitigating the impact of landscape fragmentation on biodiversity.
Link-based methods traditionally rely on relating pairwise genetic
distance between individuals or demes to their landscape distance (e.g.,
geographic distance, cost distance). In this study, we present an
alternative to conventional statistical approaches to refine cost
surfaces by adapting the Gradient Forest (GF) approach to produce a
resistance surface. Used in community ecology, GF is an extension of
random forest (RF), and has been implemented in genomic studies to model
species genetic offset under future climatic scenarios. By design, this
adapted method, resGF, has the ability to handle multiple environmental
predicators and is not subjected to traditional assumptions of linear
models such as independence, normality and linearity. Using genetic
simulations, resGF performance was compared to other published methods.
In univariate scenarios, resGF was able to distinguish the true surface
contributing to genetic diversity among competing surfaces better than
the compared methods. In multivariate scenarios, the GF approach
performed similarly to the other RF-based approach using least-cost
transect analysis (LCTA). Additionally, two worked examples are provided
using two previously published datasets. This machine learning algorithm
has the potential to improve our understanding of landscape connectivity
and can inform long-term biodiversity conservation strategies.
(Synthetic) Data-driven identification of governing equations of aseismicseismic fault slip and frictional heterogeneities
Authors: Biswas Pulak , Ray Sohom
Published: January 2023

Models of fault slip development generally consider interfacial strength
to be frictional and deformation of the bounding medium to be elastic.
The frictional strength is usually considered as sliding rate- and
state-dependent. Their combination, elastic deformation due to
differential slip and rate-state frictional strength, leads to nonlinear
partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern the spatio-temporal
evolution of slip. Here, we investigate how data on fault slip rate and
stress can directly discover the complex system (of PDEs) that
governs aseismic slip development. We first prepare (synthetic) data
sets by numerically solving the forward problem of slip rate and fault
stress evolution with models, such as a thin laterally deformable layer
over a thick substrate. We now identify the variables, for example, slip
rate or friction state variable, and use nonlinearity
identification algorithms to discover the governing PDE of the chosen
variable.

In particular, we use sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics
algorithm (SINDy, Brunton et al., 2016) where we solve a regression
problem, Ax=y. Here, y is the time derivative of the
variable of interest, for example, slip rate. A is a large
matrix (library) with all possible candidate functions that may appear
in the slip rate evolution PDE. The entries in x, to be solved
for, are coefficients corresponding to each library function in matrix
A. We update A according to the solutions x
so that A’s column space can span the dynamics we seek to find.
To find the suitable column space for A, we encourage
sparse solutions for x, suggesting that only a few
columns in matrix A are dominant, leading to a
parsimonious representation of the governing PDE.

We show that the algorithm successfully recovers the terms of the PDE
governing fault slip and could also find the frictional parameter, for
example, a/b, where a and b, respectively, are the magnitudes that
control direct and evolution effects. Moreover, the algorithm can also
determine whether the associated state variable evolves as aging- or
slip-law types or their combination. Further, with the data set prepared
from distinct initial conditions, we show that the SINDy can also
determine the problem parameter’s spatial distribution
(heterogeneities) from fault slip rate and stress data.
Foreign Norm Entrepreneurs’ Misinformation and Disinformation Narratives on LGBT+ Rights in Europe
Authors: Strand Cecilia , Svensson Jakob
Published: January 2023

With ample evidence that foreign state actors and non-state norm entrepreneurs are engaged in misinformation and disinformation campaigns challenging the European Union’s human rights framework on LGBT+, this study analyses the narratives that these actors disseminate. Based on two methods – a standard literature review of academic and “grey” literature, as well as complementary analysis of entries in the EUvsDisinfo database – the study identifies four main narratives that can be attributed to or are actively sponsored by non-European actors: 1) Opposing gender ideology and protecting God’s order, 2) Heteroactivism and the protection of the rights of the “natural” family, 3) LGBT+ rights as Western colonialism, and 4) LGBT+ rights as a threat to the rights of children. Even though EU’s strong protection of freedom of speech makes it challenging to address misinformation and disinformation that falls outside hate-speech legislation, this paper argues that exploring the following counter measures could be worthwhile: 1) harmonization of European legal frameworks, 2) financial scrutiny and 3) strengthened automatic detection, editorial policies, and community flagging, as well as the capacity to systematically deal with misinformation and disinformation campaign targeting LGBT+ across digital spaces in Europe.

Aim: The article is devoted to analyzing marketing factors of the tourism market operations in Ukraine under martial law. Methods: The study used the method of secondary data analysis. Results: The authors determined that the tourism market always reacts very sensitively to crisis events (pandemics, devastating natural disasters, political or military crises, etc.) and highlighted the changed format of the tourist market in Ukraine in the conditions of the protracted Russian-Ukrainian war. The authors identified the main factors of the current market of tourist services in Ukraine under martial law conditions. The functioning of the tourism market during the war is strategically important for the state and citizens. Conclusions: The authors summarized the experience of the tourism sector of countries that have been through a similar crisis and became leaders in the regional markets of tourist services to implement it in Ukraine effectively and determined the main factors of the functioning of the market of tourist services in the segments of domestic and inbound tourism after the victorious peace and innovative directions of recovery and further development.
Provinsmatadorer mellem fyrstegunst og borgermisundelse. Otte-koncernen i Ekernførde i Slesvig 1700–1770
Authors: Henningsen Lars N.
Published: January 2023

The provincial ‘matadors’: Between royal favour and the envy of the burghers. The Otte dynasty in Ekernførde in Schleswig 1700–1770

The Otte dynasty did not possess notable land in the town of Ekernførde in Schleswig in 1700–1770, and its members did not become landlords, and the family members owned only two estates near their residence. Thus, Ekernførde should not be considered a ‘landlord town’ as defined by Finn-Einar Eliassen. However, Christian Otte and his son Friedrich Wilhelm Otte gained a dominant position in the town. Their path to success was facillitated by unique business talent, the social networks they built, and their contacts in the local council and the central administration in Copenhagen. The Otte dynasty managed to establish the largest single-proprietor shipping company in Denmark outside Copenhagen. Therefore, one must conclude that Ekernførde was, for a certain period, a privatised monopoly town. This occurred despite the fact that the Danish state systematically kept a tight grip on urban sites by providing state tenants with power and authority. In addition, these statal measures were underpinned by manifold administrative and judicial regulations. Yet statal bureaucratisation of the towns in Denmark did not prevent ‘matadors’ like the Otte family from growing and obtaining strong economic and social positions. They also benefited from royal favour, which triggered envy and dissatisfaction in other merchant families. One should not assume that the Otte dynasty is a unique example of ‘matadors’ in Denmark, and they were not the only ones who anchored their dominant position without owning the land the town was built on, but rather on various political and economic resources. Consequently, this study of Ekernførde indicates that other small towns in Denmark most likely fostered dynasties and ‘matadors’ temporarily. However, it is clear that Schleswig became less controlled by statal bureaucracy compared to other parts of the Danish Realm. More studies are needed to explore the whole picture of the political economy of Denmark in the 18th century.
