Biologically-inspired Neural-based Control of Compliant Fish-like Fins Using Sensory-mediated Nonlinear Oscillators with Applications for Swimming Vehicles
Authors:   , Carryon Gabriel Nat , Tangorra James L
Published: December 2023

The sensorimotor system of fish endows them with remarkable swimming performance that is unmatched by current underwater robotic vehicles. To close the gap between the capabilities of fish and the capabilities of underwater vehicles engineers are investigating how fish swim. In particular, engineers are exploring the sensorimotor systems of fish that control the motion of fins. It is generally accepted that specialized neural circuits (known as central pattern generators) within the sensorimotor system produce the periodic drive signal that is used to control the motion of fins. An important aspect of these circuits is that their output signal can be modified by sensory feedback. Specifically, the way in which sensory feedback signals are applied to a CPG (i.e. the sensory feedback topology) affects the CPG's entrainment characteristics. This has been shown in simulation but has not been investigated in a robot interacting in the real-world. Furthermore, CPG-based control has only limitedly been applied to fish like robots and many questions remain as to how it should be applied to these types of systems. In this thesis the following topics are investigated: the effect of sensory feedback topology on the entrainment characteristics of a CPG-based neural oscillator driving fins with spatially varying mechanical properties (i.e., the closed-loop system), the effect of sensory feedback location on the entrainment characteristics of the closed-loop system, and how the stability of the closed-loop system is affected by parameter variation, sensory feedback location, and sensory feedback topology.

Published: December 2023

Recent advances in the development of lithium-sulfur batteries (Li-S) demonstrated their high effectiveness owing to their tremendous theoretical specific capacity and high theoretical gravimetrical energy. Nevertheless, the potential commercialization of Li-S is significantly held by the insulating nature of sulfur and complicated RedOx reactions during the electrochemical charge-discharge processes. This paper presents nickel nanoparticles embedded carbon nanofibers interlayer (Ni@CNF) between a cathode and a separator as an additional physical barrier against lithium polysulfides shuttle for their efficient conversion during the charge-discharge cycling. Furthermore, the interlayer provides an auxiliary electron pathway with subsequent lowering of the charge transfer resistance. The electrochemical analysis of a Li-S cell with the Ni@CNF interlayer demonstrated high initial discharge capacities of 1441.2 mAh g-1 and 1194.2 mAh g-1 at 0.1 and 1.0 C rates, respectively, with remarkable capacity retention of ~83% after 100 cycles. This study revealed the advantageous impact of Ni@CNF towards solving the major issues of lithium-sulfur batteries, i.e., sluggish kinetics and the shuttle effect.
The genre of prayer in the diary discourse of Leo Tolstoy
Authors:   Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Tokarev Grigoriy V.
Published: December 2023

The article is aimed to consider the genre of prayer presented in the diaries of Leo Tolstoy. An analysis of the entries reveals that over the course of his life Tolstoy recorded several dozen prayers he made up. The article examines recorded appeals to God in syntactic, semantic and pragmatic terms. The research uses methods of description, conceptual and pragmatic analysis. The study reveals that Tolstoy violates the accepted canons, modelling an individual appeal to God. Tolstoy’s discourse is dominated by short prayers, which is a consequence of the addressee’s pragmatic intentions: to be concise, humble, not to ask for anything. The article establishes that the key axiological dominant for Tolstoy is love, with which he identifies God. In his appeals to God, Tolstoy asks for firm faith, hope, and a calm conscience. A large group of Tolstoy’s prayers has a situationally oriented nature. The imperatives of behavior are formulated in the prayers. The article concludes that prayer in Tolstoy’s discourse becomes a means of an individual programme of self-improvement. Tolstoy’s prayer is chamberlike, regular in nature. The addressee of the appeal is God, and often not personified, but as emptiness, something, a moral principle. He defines the role of the addressee through the nominations of an obedient son, servant, worker, messenger of the Almighty, who must humbly accept everything that God wants. The article identifies that Tolstoy’s prayers are heterogeneous in their intensions: a request, a thanksgiving, a statement. According to its axiological content and intentional vector, Tolstoy’s prayer fully corresponds to the Christian ideology, expressed in humility and love.
Subject plot symbolism in allegories (on the material of mediaeval Armenian fables)
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, Smolensk State University, Karasik Vladimir I.
Published: December 2023

The paper deals with edifications expressed in Armenian fables of the XII–XIII centuries. These narratives describe common situations of overcoming serious difficulties, interrelations between authorities and people, and paradoxical unpredictability of existence. Three main topics presented in the narratives have been analyzed – the attitudes to the world, to authorities and to human character. The general principles of the world-view comprise loyalty to one’s own people, understanding the connection of cause and consequence, and emphasizing responsibility of one’s actions. The attitude to authorities is mainly critical. The fables show that power makes people cruel, but sober-minded shrewd people may win or at least remain alive. In times of war people should put aside their criticism and defend their country. The narratives about human nature describe envy and stupidity, and victims of fraud are not given sympathy to. The main inferences of the mediaeval Armenian fables may be summarized as fundamental ethical and utilitarian prescriptions of behavior – a realistic evaluation of complicated situations, impermissibility of credulousness, rejection of futile attempts to change the world, and loyalty to the principles of estimable life. The content of the fables reflects universal observations as expressed in similar narratives of other cultures, but has a vivid originality which manifests itself in the appeal to survive in almost unbearable circumstances.
The genre with a thousand faces: The perspective of the philologist Vladimir S. Vakhrushev
Authors:   Sevastopol State University, Komutstsi Liudmila V.
Published: December 2023

This article presents an interdisciplinary conception of genre proposed by the Russian philologist from Balashov, Professor Vladimir Serafimovich Vakhrushev. The feasibility of this task can be mainly seen in two aspects. First of all, Vakhrushev conceives genre as an ideal model generating versatile phenomena not only of discursive, but also of social, cultural, and historical processes. His broad understanding of genre can contribute to the comprehension of the specific speech genres, studied within the specific disciplines isolated so far by their primary tasks, as the elements of a coherent macro system “Genre – Text – Man – Society – Culture – Nature”. Within this macro system, the genres of verbal texts appear to be the structures similar to those of other types, existing elsewhere beyond the realm of art or everyday speech, namely, in nature, history and society. According to V. Vakhrushev, verbal genres and the genres of natural and sociohistorical phenomena share a number of intrinsic properties which are determined by the global ecological law of their adaptation to the ever-changing environment. Secondly, this publication is timed to coincide with Professor Vakhrushev’s 90th anniversary, which falls on September 2022, thus providing a motive for presenting his theoretical legacy to a wider community of linguists, literary scholars, cultural studies scholars, perhaps sociologists, historians, and natural scientists to engage them in a critical discussion. Researchers of speech genres and literary studies may be particularly interested in Vakhrushev’s phenomenological definition of genre and in the ways he is reasoning the isomorphism and the presence of analogies between text genres and the genres of other life forms, such as biology, daily social life and history.

Study of Fever Presentation in DAE Hospital
Authors:   MD (Medicine) Physician DAEH Department of Medicine, Sitaraman Dr Sridevi
Published: December 2023

Introduction Background-Although earliest fever curves was created in 10th century by Akhawayni, fever was reported by Beeson (1961) as the presence of an endogenous pyrogen in rabbit PMNL. Today the granulocyte factor is the central role in pathogenesis of fever. Normal body temp is 98.6*f and fever is a complex physiological response involving the innate immune system and any temperature beyond the normal. Hippocrates and Kos (377BCE) attributed to pyretos and therme (fever and heat) which arose from 4 elements-blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. Farenheit and Celsius were pioneers in development of thermometer and axillary temperatures were first used for fever Then Mackowiak and collegues described an oral thermometer and they gave 98.6*f as normal and 99.9*f as upper limit of normal. Thermoregulatory behaviours (brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, shivering, sweating, vasoconstriction and vasodilation) are the control loops in response to core and skin temperature. Of the illnesses, infection, neoplasia, inflammatory, miscellaneous and undiagnosed illness form the main group. In India, infections constitute 16-55% of cases. Now in industrialized countries, undiagnosed cases have risen. Among the infections, UTI, TB, viral and protozoal abcess, endocarditis are frequently diagnosed out of which viral infections predominate. In older patients infections are less frequent cause of fever which is opposite to pediatric population. Travel history and vaccination history is important as in COVID era. Lab findings were consistant with clinical presentation in 90% of cases .Mortality out of fever was very negligible only in older patients (1-3%).

O atravessar dos tempos em Estradas do tempo-foi, de Lindanor Celina
Authors: Pinho Relivaldo
Published: December 2023

Este texto estuda o romance Estradas do tempo-foi, de Lindanor Celina, de 1971, o livro que marca a metade da trajetória do ciclo triádico da protagonista Irene. O livro é um dos menos analisados dessa trilogia, mas ele encerra temas importantes na trajetória da autora, especialmente nessa obra, como o tempo e a memória. Adota-se, para isso, uma metodologia ensaística e autores como Paul Ricoeur e Marcel Proust e seus escritos teóricos e literários que se relacionam com essas temáticas. O tempo, nessa narrativa, é o elemento determinante e realiza-se uma comparação dos diferentes tempos que o livro encerra, demonstrando-se como, nessa escrita cíclica, esse aspecto temporal se entrecruza entre um passado preenchido por uma memória edificante de uma experiência anterior e um presente, no novo lar, enclausurado em angústias, incertezas e obrigações.
Maria de todos os rios, de Benedicto Monteiro: personagens desvalidas no garimpo de Serra Pelada
Authors: Furtado Rebeca Freire , Furtado Marlí Tereza
Published: December 2023

O escritor paraense Benedicto Monteiro (1924-2008) é um dos nomes da literatura produzida na Amazônia brasileira cujo olhar se volta para o retrato do homem em contato com este ambiente. Em romance de sua autoria, Maria de todos os rios (1992), a narradora Maria apresenta diversas personagens que, desvalidas, viram reféns das suas próprias misérias: mulheres que veem na prostituição uma alternativa de sobrevivência, garimpeiros que trabalham de forma desumana na busca pelo ouro, membros da comunidade LGBTQIA+ que tem seus direitos negados pelo período de Ditadura Militar de 1964, no Brasil, e todos aqueles que, como os outros, estão inseridos à margem da sociedade. O presente estudo, portanto, busca analisar as personagens desvalidas no espaço do garimpo de Serra Pelada e seus arredores presentes no romance monteiriano. Nesse sentido, pretende-se discutir acerca de grupos sociais que são historicamente marginalizados e desvalidos a partir das personagens construídas.
Adultério e assassinato no romance Dona Guidinha do Poço
Authors: Ramos Gabriela , Cunha Roseli Barros
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho analisa o romance Dona Guidinha do Poço ([1892] 1952), do escritor Oliveira Paiva (1861-1892), a partir do recorte de gênero, classe e raça/etnia (SAFFIOTI, 2015) para entender as consequências do adultério e encomenda de assassinato cometidos pela protagonista. A narrativa foi inspirada em uma história real (PORDEUS, [1963] 2004), evidenciando-nos um método de apuração do escritor com base na conjuntura da sociedade patriarcal na qual estava inserido. O romance conta a história de Guida, uma rica fazendeira sertaneja do século XIX que trai e manda matar o marido, o major Quim. Ao saber da traição, ele se sente encurralado pelas cobranças da sociedade, já que eram comuns os assassinatos de mulheres adúlteras, considerados crimes em defesa da honra (CAULFIELD, 2000). Por fim, partimos do conceito de branquitude (CARDOSO, 2010) com o intuito de perceber o lugar social da protagonista, que não ultrapassa totalmente os limites do gênero.

Disbarment as a Consequence of Bringing a Lawyer to Criminal Liability
Authors:   Attorney, Presiding Judge of the First Bar Association of the Altai Territory, Council Member of the Chamber of Lawyers, Zaytsev Vladimir V.
Published: December 2023

In the article, the author reviews consequences of bringing a lawyer to liability in the form of deprivation of the right of representation in court in the lawyer status. Special attention is paid to an analysis of the latest legal positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation with regards to the disproportion in the establishment of a permanent prohibition against carrying out of attorney activities in the event that an attorney is acknowledged guilty of an intentional crime. The author uses such analysis as a basis to conclude that the acknowledgment of this provision of the Federal Law on Legal Practice and Advocacy as unconstitutional is controversial. On the one hand, the government has solved the legal uncertainty and introduced constitutional protection of labor rights of disbarred citizens. But on the other hand, the legal community has lost a very powerful means of preventive and to some extent punitive impact on its representatives, whose intentional crimes did not only cause damage to their reputation but undermine the general trust of the society in the institution of advocacy.

The Turkish diplomatic strategy in Iraq: Shifts and continuities, 2003-2023
Authors: Badine El Yattioui Mohamed , El Yattioui Yassine
Published: December 2023

Las relaciones entre Turquía e Iraq han conocido diferentes etapas entre 2003 y 2023. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las constantes premisas y los hechos cambiantes de la relación entre los dos vecinos desde el punto de vista turco. De esta forma, se busca explicar cómo los aspectos económicos y las cuestiones de seguridad fronteriza están en el corazón de la diplomacia turca. A partir de la llegada al poder del AKP y de su líder Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, la visión turca y su estrategia en el Medio Oriente, e Iraq en especial, han conocido diferentes momentos. Esto ha dependido del contexto regional o del contexto doméstico turco, que a lo largo de los años ha demostrado una relación bilateral compleja, dependiente de varios factores.
Türkiye’s transregionalism with South Asia: Geoculture-boosted multifaceted bilateralism
Authors: Baba Gurol
Published: December 2023

El transregionalismo se relaciona con interacciones más laxas y menos institucionales, que funcionan a través de actores tanto estatales como no estatales. Su menor necesidad de instituciones multilaterales y basadas en las normas hace que el transregionalismo sea naturalmente flexible, multifacético y más orientado al bilateralismo. El entusiasmo de Türkiye por profundizar las relaciones con Asia, que quedó oficialmente plasmado en la iniciativa Asia Anew, es un buen ejemplo de ese bilateralismo transregional multifacético. La iniciativa priorizó este esquema de interacción al enfatizar la importancia de los mecanismos interinstitucionales que operan a través de actores estatales y no estatales. En consecuencia, este estudio sostiene que las interacciones de Türkiye con el sur de Asia, especialmente en lo que respecta a las relaciones Estado/persona a persona, que fusionan actores estatales con actores no estatales, pueden analizarse dentro del marco conceptual del bilateralismo transregional. Partiendo de esta premisa, este estudio sostiene que las afinidades geoculturales entre las comunidades del sur de Asia y turca actúan como el principal “impulso” de este relacionamiento.
Cognitivismo neoliberal e o trabalho de usuário no Design de UX
Authors: Gonçalves Luís Henrique do Nascimento
Published: December 2023

Este trabalho dá continuidade às pesquisas que buscam preencher uma lacuna nos estudos críticos e transdisciplinares sobre as implicações político-econômicas e psicossociais do design de UX. Para isso, a partir de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, elaboramos elementos para uma crítica imanente das teorias, técnicas e tecnologias deste campo. Encontramos antigas crenças acerca da redução da ontologia do ser social às leis da natureza enquanto uma argumentação para nossa cognição falível, o que justificaria a criação de arquiteturas de contextos, decisões e atividades para os usuários de mercadorias digitais. Utilizando a própria literatura de base do design de UX (ciências cognitivas, interação humano-computador e marketing), demonstramos o caráter ideológico e pouco científico desses pressupostos, bem como o seu papel mediador para a cooperação compulsória dos usuários na produção de dados digitais. A partir das teorias sócio-históricas da subjetividade, concluímos (1) que essas determinações são "encriptografadas" pelo design de UX, fazendo as tecnologias digitais, seu trabalho e seu intelecto geral aparecerem na forma fetichizada de mercadorias digitais; e (2) que isso exige ações políticas organizadas para a regulação democrática deste mercado
Deram uma genitália para a Barbie, e agora?
Authors: Sanchez Silva Naiene
Published: December 2023

Este artigo se propõe a compreender a relação entre os termos guerras culturais e utopia no campo do entretenimento por intermédio do filme “Barbie”. A repercussão da produção cinematográfica norte-americana “Barbie” jogou luz sobre a possibilidade de um produto cultural impactar distintas instâncias sociais. Ao mesmo tempo, o filme apareceu na mídia como uma tentativa de resolver o problema da obsolescência da boneca no contexto atual. A ambiguidade das impressões geradas por “Barbie”, o impacto estético e a respectiva abordagem de temas como sexismo e patriarcado pela produção hollywoodiana serão os elementos aqui utilizados para compreendermos o sentido e o espaço ocupado por ideias como utopia e guerras culturais na sociedade contemporânea
Documentário e Conspiração: o caso The Epoch Times Brasil
Authors: Andrade Maria Estela Silva , Souza Gustavo , Demuru Paolo
Published: December 2023

Este artigo busca evidenciar por meio de análise pautada na semiótica estruturalista de Greimas, características presentes na construção discursiva do documentário “China - Brasil e a Guerra Irrestrita Contra a Pátria”, produzido pela sucursal brasileira do jornal estadunidense The Epoch Times, que corroboram à criação de uma aparência de verdade para conteúdos desinformativos e teorias da conspiração. Ao longo do texto é dado o histórico do veículo jornalístico e sua relação com a extrema direita, além da descrição do documentário, as oposições semânticas de seu discurso, suas estruturas narrativas e discursivas e temas e figuras presentes. Por fim, conclui-se que a elaboração discursiva é similar à já observada em outros documentários conspiratórios, visa um “leitor modelo” e é pautada na performance do jornalista-apresentador
Autoridades cognitivas versus autoridades eclesiásticas e espirituais: as comunidades evangélicas brasileiras e a desinformação
Authors: Figueiredo Márcia Feijão de , Zattar Marianna
Published: December 2023

Esse texto tem por objetivo estabelecer um diálogo sobre o conceito de autoridade cognitiva a partir da comunidade evangélica brasileira e suas autoridades eclesiásticas e espirituais para compreender o fenômeno da desinformação nesse segmento. Para essa reflexão apresenta dados sobre o crescimento exponencial desse grupo nas últimas décadas, o tratamento utilizado durante esse período pela mídia tradicional e, em contraponto, uma pesquisa do Instituto de Estudos da Religião com tópicos elencados por mulheres sobre a relação com a igreja. Em seguida, descreve os conceitos utilizados nas comunidades evangélicas para as autoridades eclesiásticas, que podem ser atribuídas através de cargos administrativos, a autoridade espiritual, que se estabelece através do reconhecimento dos membros sem possuir cargo formalizado e, nos ambientes digitais, a ascensão de autoridades espirituais como influenciadores e youtubers, que detém junto às comunidades liderança dentro e fora das igrejas. A partir desse contexto aponta-se o uso do conceito de autoridade cognitiva e suas novas categorias, a saber: as autoridades cognitivas genuínas a as pseudo autoridades cognitivas. Estabelece como tais autoridades fazem sentido nas relações entre autoridades religiosas e a comunidade evangélica. Para finalizar, o artigo aponta as primeiras observações sobre a relevância dessas autoridades, vistas pelos membros como fontes confiáveis de informação e a necessidade de criar uma agenda de pesquisa aprofundando os estudos no campo de estudos da informação, especialmente da ética da informação sobre a desinformação nas comunidades evangélicas brasileiras

W artykule dokonano przeglądu badań geograficznych dotyczących struktury narodowościowej w Polsce, począwszy od XIX wieku do początku II dekady XXI wieku, odnosząc się także do zasadniczych nurtów badawczych problematyki narodowościowej wśród historyków i socjologów. Przedstawiono najistotniejsze zdaniem autora problemy badawcze, które należy podjąć w dalszych badaniach dotyczących mniejszości narodowych, etnicznych i etniczno-regionalnych zamieszkujących współczesną Polskę. Omówiono różnorodne metody badawcze wraz ze wskazaniem ich zalet oraz licznych ograniczeń. We wnioskach autor przedstawił główne, jego zdaniem, uwarunkowania wpływające na dynamiczne przekształcenia struktury narodowościowej w Polsce oraz zasadnicze cechy relacji państwo polskie – mniejszości narodowe.
Nowy ład na Antylach Holenderskich
Authors: Żelichowski Ryszard
Published: December 2023

W wyniku reformy konstytucyjnej przeprowadzonej w Królestwie Niderlandów w październiku 2010 roku, dotychczasowe Antyle Holenderskie zostały rozwiązane. Obecnie Królestwo Niderlandów składa się z czterech państw autonomicznych: Niderlandów, Aruby, Curaçao i Sint Maarten oraz trzech specjalnych gmin: Bonaire, Sint Eustatius i Saba (BES). Specjalne gminy noszą teraz nazwę Karaibskich Niderlandów (Caribisch Nederland). Nowe kraje autonomiczne mają własne rządy i parlamenty. Gminy specjalne mają dwa poziomy władz. Pierwszy poziom reprezentuje władze centralne Królestwa Niderlandów, a drugi władze lokalne w postaci Rady Wysp (Eilandsraad). Głową państwa jest król Willem-Alexander. Polityka zagraniczna i obronna Karaibskich Niderlandów pozostaje w gestii Królestwa Niderlandów z jednym tylko ministrem spraw zagranicznych i jedną służbą zagraniczną. Kraje Aruba, Curaçao i Sint Maarten mają swoje własne Wydziały Spraw Zagranicznych. Na Sint Maarten instytucja ta nosi nieco inną nazwę – Departament Spraw Zagranicznych. Począwszy od 1 stycznia 2011 roku na Bonaire, Sint Eustatius i Saba oficjalnym środkiem płatniczym jest dolar amerykański. W krajach Curaçao i Sint Maarten, tymczasowo pozostał w obiegu gulden antylski (Antilliaanse Gulden), do czasu zastąpienia go przez guldena Karaibskich Niderlandów. Królestwo Niderlandów jest członkiem Unii Europejskiej. Aruba, Curaçao i Sint Maarten mają status krajów i terytoriów zamorskich UE, a tym samym nie są częścią UE. Nazwa Karaibskie Niderlandy nie obejmuje krajów autonomicznych i odnosi się tylko do tych wysp karaibskich, które są częścią podziału administracyjnego Królestwa Niderlandów. Natomiast termin Karaiby Holenderskie odnosi się do wszystkich wysp karaibskich w ramach Królestwa Niderlandów.

W pierwszej części artykułu omówiono główne czynniki (wewnętrzne i zewnętrzne), które wpłynęły na procesy transformacji ustrojowej w europejskich i zakaukaskich krajach postkomunistycznych. W drugiej części artykułu skupiono się na czynnikach, które zadecydowały, że jak dotychczas proces transformacji ustrojowej na Ukrainie jest bardzo słabo zaawansowany.
Rynek Indywidualnych Kont Emerytalnych w Polsce w kontekście Implementacji Ogólnoeuropejskiego Indywidualnego Produktu Emerytalnego

Cel artykułu/hipoteza: W warunkach niewydolności obowiązkowych filarów systemu emerytalnego zasadne jest zachęcanie przyszłych emerytów do zapobiegliwości i oszczędzaniu w dobrowolnych formach gromadzenia kapitału emerytalnego. Dotąd kwestia ta nie podlegała europejskiej harmonizacji. Jednak w związku z przyjęciem rozporządzenie o Ogólnoeuropejskim Indywidualnych Produkcie Emerytalnym (OIPE) sytuacja ta zmieniła się. Celem artykułu jest prezentacja opinii posiadaczy Indywidulanych Kont Emerytalnych (IKE) w Polsce na podstawie badania własnego w kontekście implementacji OIPE w Polsce. Hipoteza artykułu jest następująca: zadowolenie posiadaczy IKE z osiągniętych stóp zwrotu jest umiarkowane, co daje możliwość poprawy tej oceny w przypadku implementowanego OIPE. Ponadto w artykule przedstawiono zależności między wieloma parametrami charakteryzującymi IKE a cechami socjodemograficznymi i zadowoleniem użytkowników z IKE. Metodyka: Badania empiryczne przeprowadzone zostały na ogólnopolskiej grupie blisko 550 posiadaczy IKE za pomocą ankiety internetowej CAWI we wrześniu 2022 r. Ponadto w artykule wykorzystano studia literatury, aktów prawnych i analizę statystyk rynkowych w zakresie dobrowolnych form gromadzenia kapitału emerytalnego w Polsce w ramach III filaru. Wyniki/Rezultaty badania: Przeprowadzone badanie wskazuje, że występuje umiarkowane zadowolenie z osiąganych przez IKE wyników finansowych (6,62/10 pkt), co przekłada się na przewagę krytyków nad promotorami i ujemny wskaźnik NPS (ang. Net Promoter Score) na poziomie ponad 26. Ankietowani w ramach OIPE chcieliby inwestować w aktywa zagraniczne i globalne tj. ETFy, akcje i obligacje globalne. Może to oznaczać w przyszłości większe stopy zwrotu z OPIE w porównaniu z IKE, co może przełożyć się na poprawę zadowolenia klientów i lepszy wskaźnik NPS. Należy dodać, że wyniki badania mają znaczenie aplikacyjne, ponieważ zostały wykorzystane przy wprowadzaniu na polski rynek pierwszego OIPE pod nazwą Europejska Emerytura przez słowacki dom maklerski Finax, który uzyskał licencję KNF na tego typu działalność.

Sexism in social media sites has rarely been looked into and has been scarcely seen as a crucial subject to research studies, which is alarming to the desire to achieve an equal and just society. This study focused on the sexist rhetoric used in the commentaries on 2022 Presidentiable Leni Robredo to reveal how prevalent and existing sexism in the Philippines through language is. Comments are gathered from Facebook posts pertaining to Atty. Leni Robredo. The study employed a qualitative-descriptive research design, specifically content analysis, to analyze sexist words and phrases. The weight and capability of each word's sexism were compared when it is used to insult, degrade, and malign a woman to determine its level of sexism. The study revealed that deep-rooted gender biases and sexism through language are still highly functioning in society, as is observed and experienced online. Hostile sexism is the most pervasive level of sexism and hence contributes to widespread sexism in the country and is more commonly done by the majority of males than females. It is recommended that academe should promote unbiased gender language by making every term and phrase gender inclusive as an introduction lesson/subject) to avoid sexism.

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary glands that can cause a sharp reduction in milk production and income for farmers. Subclinical mastitis is mastitis without clinical symptoms but can result in a decrease in the quantity and quality of milk production. One of the main pathogens that cause mastitis namely Staphyloccocus aureus. S. aureus become the biggest problem of mastitis because the cure rate is classified as very low. The risk factors for the occurrence of mastitis, both clinical and subclinical mastitis, can cause a decrease in milk production caused by several factors, including genetic, feed and environmental factors. This study aims to determine the presence of subclinical mastitis in milk of dairy goats with sufferers in Siliragung District, Banyuwangi Regency. Sample testing was carried out at the SIKIA Instrument Laboratory, Airlangga University. Isolation was carried out using MSA (Mannitol Salt Agar) media for further identification consisting of Gram staining and biochemical tests. Some of the biochemical tests used are the catalase test, the coagulase test and the VP test. The results of isolation, observation of characteristics and identification of bacteria in the research that has been carried out show that 64.51% (40/62) of the samples examined were positively identified S. aureus. Results showed that the risk factors for causing subclinical mastitis included cleaning the cage, the number of lactating goats, washing hands before milking, manure and waste management, weaning age and lactation age.
