The objective: the rationalization of a personalized approach to the selection of the program art on the basis of the allocation of risk. Patients and methods. Were analyzed 180 couples with male factor infertility, which in 2012-2015, in the Institute of reproductive medicine (IRM) (Kiev) was held the program of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with the aim of restoring fertility. Examination and ICSI procedure is carried out in accordance with clinical protocols. Results. According to the results of analytical and synthetic analysis of primary documents (enhanced, adapted to the purpose of the work of the medical record) were identified risk factors (and their signs) for the development of male infertility and grouped by direction of impact. As a result, 25 of the 51 factors and their basis formed three groups: social (behavioral), biological/clinical and special medical. With the help of mathematical analysis it was determined the boundary values of the minimum and maximum of reliability of the negative result of the application of ART. Conclusion. It was proposed the predictive map for the determination of the probability of pregnancy in couples with male infertility problems with the application of ART. Was justified the separation of three risk groups to restore fertility in couples with male factor infertility using ART. Was based the principle of personalized approach to choosing the best program of art-based stratification of men at risk groups.

Gestational dynamic of content and balance of essential trace elements in serum and erythrocytes of women of different reproductive age, giving birth for the first time
Authors:   Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, Kуiv, Ukraine, Markevich V.V.
Published: December 2020

The objective: to study dynamics of software of serum and erythrocyte with essential microelements (iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, magnesium, manganese) during pregnancy in women of different reproductive age in a case of the first delivery. Patients and methods. The definition of essential microelements conducted in serum and red blood cells in 44 pregnant women of early and middle reproductive age who gave birth for the first time. Pregnant women of reproductive age were respectively 16.33±0.21 and 24.67±0.37 years. The study was conducted in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy at 10.26±0.34, 23.23±0.51 and 36.08±0.59 weeks of gestation, respectively. For determination of microelemennts used spectrophotometry С – 115M1. Results. For the course of pregnancy in women of middle reproductive age was typical considerable dynamism of serum and erythrocyte content of microelements. During pregnancy significantly improves the condition of serum iron pool. Serum level of other essential microelements to the end of pregnancy significantly decreased, especially magnesium – three times, cobalt and manganese – twice, zinc had a tendency to reduce. Reduction of essential trace elements (magnesium, cobalt, manganese, zinc) is due to their active use of fetus especially in the third trimester of pregnancy. In women of early reproductive age for the end of the third trimester of pregnancy, we found depletion of serum and erythrocyte content of iron and manganese, which can contribute to anemia. Increasing in the cobalt content in both environments shows voltage in hematopoietic system. Conclusion. With the aim to examine the features of microelement software of fetus and development of methods of its correction, it seems appropriate to study the content and balance of essential trace elements in the mother-placenta-fetus. Key words: essential microelements, pregnant women, reproductive age, the first birth.

The aim of the research was to determine the characteristics of menstrual function and the spectrum of disorders of reproductive health among women born with low weight and overweight. Materials and methods. The study included 122 healthy women of reproductive age, the city dwellers of the Eastern Ukraine, 53 (group I) of them were born weighing 2500 g or less, and 69 (group II) with body weight of 4000 g or more. To achieve this purpose conducted an anonymous survey and personal interviews. Were estimated characteristics of the formation of the menstrual function, its characteristics, the frequency of violation of menstrual cycle and the spectrum of pathology that requires medical, surgical or minimally invasive intervention. Results. This study determined the relationship of family history, perinatal development, the formation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function in women with various deviations of body weight at birth. There was stated the relationship between weight at birth and fertility in the future. Were updated perinatal risk factors for female infertility. Were discovered the relationship between the deviation from normal body weight at birth and increased frequency of gynecological pathology, which require surgical or minimally invasive treatment, trigger factors for hormonal-metabolic disorders in the population of Eastern women. It was determined the necessity of a differentiated approach to medical care of women with different variants of the deviations of weight growth indicators at birth. Conclusion. Thus, the obtained data about the delay in sexual development and later about the high incidence of infertility in women who are born with low body weight are in agreement with the literature data, reflecting the parallelism of woman's ability to conceive, weight and growth parameters at birth. Key words: low birth weight, large for gestational age fetus, gynecological pathology, infertility.

De la «macro» a la «microsintaxis»: una aproximación al estudio de la combinación de conjunción y marcador discursivo al final de enunciado
Authors: López-Martín José-Manuel
Published: December 2020

En este estudio vamos a ocuparnos de la combinación de una conjunción y un marcador en posición final de enunciado. Los marcadores que más a menudo aparecen en este contexto son vamos, en fin y es que, que, en la mayoría de los casos, aparecen precedidos de la conjunción adversativa pero. El hecho de que un conector o un operador cierre el enunciado y aparezca coordinado con una predicación previa va más allá de las posibilidades sintácticas que a estas unidades se les ha asignado tradicionalmente y que han consistido en, o bien enlazar enunciados (conectores), o bien modificar una predicación aportando a esta valores modales, enunciativos, informativos o argumentativos (operadores).
Macrosintaxis y enunciación. Análisis pragmalingüístico de «digo», «digo yo», «ya digo» y «ya te digo»
Authors: Brenes-Peña Ester
Published: December 2020

El verbo decir, como reflejo del proceso de enunciación, es una de las bases más productivas para la creación de marcadores discursivos. Este trabajo aborda el análisis pragmalingüístico de cuatro de ellos: digo, digo yo, ya digo y ya te digo. Todos ellos presentan dicho verbo metalingüístico conjugado en primera persona del singular del presente de indicativo. Sin embargo, existen variaciones que causan que pertenezcan a categorías distintas (marcadores u operadores) y funcionen también en macroestructuras diferentes (enunciación, modalidad, aserción, estructuración informativa). El análisis realizado identifica tales divergencias, indicando a qué categoría gramatical pertenecen (operadores o conectores), y describiendo su funcionamiento en los distintos planos del discurso. La meta última es contribuir a la descripción macrosintáctica del español actual.
«Mira»/«mira que»: construcciones, contexto argumentativo y funciones relacionales
Authors: Fuentes-Rodríguez Catalina
Published: December 2020

El trabajo se centra en la construcción mira que + cláusula y analiza los valores discursivos que desarrolla cuando se fija en el uso. Utilizando una metodología macrosintáctica y con base en los fundamentos de la gramática de construcciones, describimos su comportamiento distribucional y los contenidos procedimentales que desarrolla. En unos contextos, mira que actúa como intensificador de un término valorativo. En otros, se combina con gerundios, participios o sintagmas con contenido negativo. Aparece en estos casos como enunciado suspendido. En combinaciones con otras oraciones puede actuar como introductor de un argumento justificativo o bien con contenido concesivo antiorientado. El contexto distribucional predetermina la orientación argumentativa de la construcción y la hace funcionar como un elemento discursivo más ligado a lo procedimental.

En este trabajo se tratan ciertos casos en los que el marcador o conector discursivo por (lo) tanto pone en relación elementos que no son enunciados oracionales, en un tipo de contextos que proponemos llamar “contextos reducidos”. La anterior es una locución que interviene en construcciones consecutivas y que alterna en la mayoría de los casos con otras expresiones como por consiguiente, en consecuencia, así que y conque. En este estudio se analizarán las características sintácticas, semánticas y macrosintácticas de las secuencias en las que interviene por (lo) tanto, tanto sean casos de contextos prototípicos como reducidos, con el fin de observar posibles diferencias con respecto a los ejemplos en los que aparecen los otros segmentos que pueden marcar relación ilativa. Esta entrega tuvo un antecedente, en el que nos ocupamos de sus características cuantitativas y formales.
Gender differences in income distributions in Poland
Authors:   dr hab., Department of Economics, University of Economics in Katowice, Poland, Włodarczyk Julia
Published: December 2020

The paper presents results of a descriptive analysis of income distributions as well as top income inequality among women and men in Poland. The analysis is based on the dataset provided by the Council for Social Monitoring (2019). Throughout 2003–2015 their panel survey included, for example, a question on individual net monthly income in the past three months. In order to reduce differences associated with the age of entering and exiting the labour market on declared income levels (especially pensions), the calculations include only women and men aged 25–60 years. The analysis of income distributions of women and men in Poland is based on standard measures such as mean income, median income and related measures, as well as the Gini coefficient, Theil index and entropy index. It is supplemented by kernel density estimates and results of simultaneous quantile regressions that demonstrate differences between women and men across income groups. The analysis of top income inequality includes comparisons of subsamples consisting of top 3% earners in each group. The share of women in the top percentiles is then calculated and discussed. The analysis shows different dynamics related to the incomes of women and men, which provides support for including business cycle considerations in the analysis of income inequalities and their gender aspects.

In the 21st century knowledge-based economy, long-term economic growth and development depend on the ability to use the knowledge and technology so as to create product, process, organisational, marketing and even social innovations. The knowledge and technology, human resources and social capital (facilitating the transfer of technology from the world of science to the economy), comprise the most important production factors today. Research and development (R&D) activities are among the diverse determinants affecting the economy’s ability to innovate. They are carried out by public technical universities. One of the tasks that these entities face is to conduct basic, industrial (applied) research and development works. Their results can then be transferred to industrial and service enterprises as novel solutions. Research and development activities of universities are financed mainly from public sources, which suggests the need to assess the efficiency of this task. This can be done with the use of various methods, e.g. the non-parametric DEA method. The purpose of the paper is to measure the efficiency of research and development activities of public technical universities in Poland with the aid of the DEA method. The fourteen universities which in the years 2015–2017 reported to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW) were included in the study. The efficiency of the universities in filing new patent solutions and being granted patents was analysed. The results acquired indicate very low and low efficiency of most Polish technical universities. This is due both to a small number of patent applications and a small number of patents granted. In the examined period, the group of most efficient technical universities in both aspects comprised 4 to 5 universities.
The “Family 500+” programme and female labour force participation in Poland. Demographic and economic determinants
Authors:   dr hab., Institute of Economics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland, Bartosik Krzysztof
Published: December 2020

The paper investigates the effect of child cash benefit “Family 500+” on the female labour supply in Poland, taking into account demographic and cyclical determinants. The study is based on the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and Polish Central Statistical Office quarterly data. The analyses cover the period of 2016–2018. The Labour Force Participation Rate (LFPR) is the measure of labour supply. The analysis uses a counterfactual method to determine the impact of demographic and behavioural changes on female labour supply. To identify the causes of the economic inactivity of women (adopted by LFS), decomposition of the growth rate of economically inactive women is applied. The effect of the business cycle on female labour supply is analysed using OLS recursive regression. The study found that the LFPR of women aged 25–44 decreased after 2015. This was related to the cash transfers under the “Family 500+” programme and the increasing number of economically inactive women by reason of “family and household responsibilities”. At the same time, changes in the demographic structure contributed positively to the LFPR of women aged 25–44, while the business cycle did not have a significant impact on it. OLS recursive regression showed that in the 25–44 age group, the introduction of “Family 500+” coincided with changes in the relationships between the LFPR, the percentage of the “discouraged”, economically inactive women by reason of “family responsibilities” and the unemployment rate.
Gender, the novel and the modern order of time
Authors: Freitas Renata Dal Sasso
Published: December 2020

This article aims to analyze the 1814 novel The Wanderer, or female difficulties by English writer Frances Burney and how its depiction of Britain at the time of the French Revolution can contribute to the understanding of the emergence of what François Hartog called the modern regime of historicity. Like many authors analyzed by Hartog in his books Regimes of Historicityand Croire en Histoire, Burney was personally affected by the French revolutionary process, a fact that is reflected in her last work. However, the time of its publication – when the Napoleonic Wars were at their end – made it outdated, something that was compounded by the debates regarding the Revolution and issues of gender that it was steeped in. By analyzing this novel, I will argue that issues of gender also played a role in the changes of how men and women related to time at this period as part of the transformations in the concept of History that occurred at the turn of the eighteenth century.
A culta barbaria
Authors: Tasca Michelle Fernanda
Published: December 2020

Em meados do século XIX, os discursos em defesa do patrimônio histórico ganharam relevância na fala de intelectuais que se depararam com o estado de arruinamento de uma série de construções importantes para a configuração da memória nacional. Alexandre Herculano (1810-1877) pode ser lido como um dos precursores nos debates em torno do valor do patrimônio e das possíveis políticas de intervenções nos edifícios. Tendo em vista a formação do panorama europeu em torno dos desenvolvimentos urbanos e concepções do patrimônio histórico, voltamo-nos para o caso português a partir da análise dos Monumentos Pátrios do escritor, publicado em O Panorama em 1838. Objetivamos entender a formação dos debates que ocorreram em Portugal em torno do patrimônio histórico, levando em consideração também as teorizações realizadas por uma série de outros autores que escreveram em período semelhante (meados do XIX e início do XX) e, de alguma forma, refletiram sobre essas ruínas arquitetônicas.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Comparar as mudanças de estilos de vida durante a pandemia COVID-19, segundo a presença ou não de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) em adultos brasileiros. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com dados da pesquisa ConVid - Pesquisa de Comportamentos, realizada entre abril e maio de 2020. Avaliaram-se as variáveis estilo de vida e presença de uma ou mais DCNT (diabetes, hipertensão, doença respiratória, doença do coração e câncer). As características sociodemográficas foram usadas como ajuste. Calcularam-se as frequências relativas e os intervalos de confiança (IC) de 95% das variáveis antes da e durante a pandemia. Para a comparação de grupos, sem ou com DCNT, estimaram-se as prevalências e razões de prevalência bruta e ajustada (RPa) utilizando a regressão de Poisson. Resultados: Houve redução da prática de atividade física (60% nos sem DCNT e 58% nos com DCNT) e do consumo de hortaliças (10,8% nos sem DCNT e 12,7% nos com DCNT). Verificou-se aumento no tempo de uso de televisão e computador/tablet (302 e 43,5% nos sem DCNT e 196,5 e 30,6% nos com DCNT, respectivamente); consumo de congelados (43,6% nos sem DCNT e 53,7% com DCNT), salgadinhos (42,3% sem DCNT e 31,2% com DCNT) e chocolate (14,8% sem DCNT). Durante a pandemia, portadores de DCNT apresentaram menor prática de atividade física suficiente (RPa = 0,77; IC95% 0,65 - 0,92), maior hábito de assistir à televisão (RPa = 1,16; IC95% 1,08 - 1,26) e menor consumo de hortaliças (RPa = 0,88; IC95% 0,81 - 0,96). Conclusão: Evidenciou-se que adultos com DCNT tiveram seus estilos de vida mais alterados durante a pandemia de COVID-19.
Reduction of microbial contamination using household techniques in rural area of India
Authors: Kanoo Barun , Soni Ankit , Jawed Mohammad
Published: December 2020

Groundwater is the major source of domestic water for people residing in Amingaon – a rural area in North Guwahati, Assam, India. However, it contains an excessive amount of dissolved iron (Fe) (11.3 mg/l); hence, the people resort to the use of indigenous household groundwater filter (IHGF) units. A survey of different variants of IHGF units within a radius of 5–6 km from the campus of Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati reveals that the filter medium – that is, river sand, gravel, wooden charcoal and mesh – are arranged in different combinations layerwise and bounded in plastic buckets, reinforced cement concrete rings and tin (Sn) containers. An IHGF unit is selected for performance monitoring. The iron concentration in the filtered water is within the permissible limits (0.3 mg/l), but when the water is assessed for pathogenic contamination using the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) strip test, it is found to be contaminated with pathogens, making it unfit for drinking. Efforts have been made to reduce the faecal microbial contamination present in the filtered groundwater using household treatment options such as additional filtration using folded cloth, use of Ocimum tenuiflorum (tulsi) and copper (Cu) utensils and solar disinfection (Sodis). Sodis is found to be the most effective in reduction of faecal microbial contamination present in the filtered water.

Published: December 2020

Green chemistry using ficus leaf extract has become an ecological technique and was used for preparing zerovalent iron nanoparticles (nZVFe). The Ficus benjamina nano-zero-valent iron (FB-nZVFe) was characterised by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The Orange G removal percentage (10 mg/l) reached 73% (0.3 g/l, 45 min and pH 4). The adsorption data agree more with the Langmuir model (R2= 0.9993), qmax= 27.66 mg/g. The kinetic results showed that Orange G uptake follows a pseudo-second-order model. Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic studies are more appropriate in linear and non-linear models. In general, F. benjamina nZVFe is a promising green material for Orange G removal. The IBM SPSS Statistics software was used to investigate the effect of different operational parameters, they were found to account for more than 98% of the variables affecting the removal procedure.

APPROACH TO MASS MEDIA NEWS INFORMATION WORKFLOW ANALYSIS IN VIEW OF ITS EMOTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Authors: Babich O.M. , Matviyenko O.O. , Gluhova A.S.
Published: December 2020

Research of information environment features is a vital element of information and analytical activity that makes possible to form the situation view more complete and precise. It is an important benchmark to react events information. Development of approaches to the information workflow processing concerns different aspects. The approach to mass media news information workflow processing with regard to its emotional component analysis and its intensity measurement is presented in this article. The elements which form emotional characteristics of news texts are also included. The nature of mass media news is emotionally saturated, so it is important to identify the factors which pressurize emotional state, notice relative phrases and evaluate them in a proper way. Therefore, proper translation of each phrase is critical due to the presence of idioms next to social and political lexis in mass media, which are used by news texts authors to impart a message a brighter character. With this in view these phrases demand a proper translation. The name for lingual units that transmit emotions and emotional states is concepts. Each language disposes its own concepts system related inseparably to the national culture of the native speaker’s language. Concepts which transmit certain emotions in the text form its emotional coloring. It can be evaluated by quantitative and qualitative indexes by appropriation of respective weighting ratios to particular emotional expressions. These expressions are transmitted with conventional phrases or idioms. It is advisable to form basic vocabulary of the text corpora with corresponding characters set which is a part of emotional coloring rate assessment procedure. The intensity of information impact is assessed by the most significant criteria, which form news nature. Outcome is graphically performed at the user's display. This approach application enables examination of different aspects of mass media information stream and makes possible to estimate it by various characteristics. In this way the presented application extends practical opportunities of news information workflow processing with the view of national security interests.
SOCIJALNI KARAKTER NORMATIVNOG UREĐENJA STUDENTSKOG RADA U REPUBLICI HRVATSKOJ

Published: December 2020

Značajan udio mladih u nekom je trenutku studija zaposlen, te je potrebno jasno definirati ciljeve i konkretne politike sa svrhom osiguranja dostojnoga životnog standarda mladih i stvaranja materijalnih preduvjeta nesmetanom izvršavanju studentskih obveza i završetku studija. Studentski rad predstavlja važan izvor studentskih prihoda u Republici Hrvatskoj te je koncem 2018. godine donesen novi Zakon o obavljanju studentskih poslova s ciljem unaprjeđenja studentskog standarda. Iako proklamirano kao nedvojbeno socijalna mjera, zakonsko rješenje nedostatno je zaštitilo studente, tretirajući ih kao prekarne radnike. Pritom je pretjerano blago fiskalno opterećenje, proizišlo iz povezanih propisa, učinilo studentski rad atraktivnijim i isplativijim od rada iz radnog odnosa, kreirajući latentnu opasnost poremećaja tržišta rada. U radu se ukazuje na konkretne probleme normativnog uređenja studentskog rada u Republici Hrvatskoj te ističe potreba njegova redefiniranja s ciljem ostvarenja socijalne pravednosti.

U trgovačkim društvima u vlasništvu jedinica lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave, osim financijskih revizija, provode se i revizije učinkovitosti. Revizije je proveo Državni ured za reviziju Republike Hrvatske. U provedenim revizijama donose se preporuke za poboljšanje poslovanja. Nakon određenog vremena Ured obavlja provjeru provedbe preporuka i utvrđuje je li postupljeno prema preporukama. U postupku provjere preporuka sastavlja se izvješće u kojemu se navode provedene, neprovedene preporuke te je li provjerom preporuka zadovoljavajući napredak. Cilj je ovog rada provesti istraživanje trgovačkih društava u vlasništvu jedinica lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave, a obuhvaćena su društva u kojima je obavljena revizija učinkovitosti postizanja rezultata i ostvarivanja ciljeva poslovanja te ona koja se nalaze u onim županijama za koja je u izvješćima o obavljenoj provjeri danih preporuka Ured ocijenio da nije postignut zadovoljavajući napredak. Radom su obuhvaćena trgovačka društva u vlasništvu jedinica lokalne i područne (regionalne) samouprave na području osam županija (Brodsko-posavske, Istarske, Karlovačke, Krapinsko-zagorske, Ličko-senjske, Sisačko-moslavačke, Vukovarsko-srijemske i Zagrebačke). Potpora je osnivača u strukturi prihoda značajna, dok su u strukturi rashoda značajni rashodi za zaposlene. Navedeno je utjecalo na pretpostavku da postoji korelacija između potpora osnivača i rashoda za zaposlene, što je predmet istraživanja u ovom radu. Provođenje preporuka ima cilj poboljšati učinkovitost i postići bolje rezultate poslovanja, što utječe na prihode i njihovu strukturu; potpora osnivača u strukturi prihoda bila bi manje značajna te bi došlo do smanjenja financijske ovisnosti o osnivaču. Primijenjene su metode analize, sinteze i korelacije. Potvrđena je pretpostavka da postoji jaka korelacija između udjela potpore osnivača i udjela rashoda za zaposlene po županijama. Potpora treba trgovačko društvo potaknuti na ostvarivanje poslovnih rezultata te ovisnost o potpori treba smanjiti. Rashodi za zaposlene kao značajni u strukturi rashoda trebali bi se što manje financirati iz sredstava potpore. Važnost je provođenja preporuka revizije u tome što utječu na poboljšanje poslovanja trgovačkog društva, a postižu se i pozitivni učinci na javni sektor u cjelini.

Cilj je rada istražiti utjecaj pandemije COVID-19 na promjene u izvoznoj konkurentnosti poduzeća iz prerađivačke industrije u Hrvatskoj. Analiza se temelji na podacima o ponašanju poduzeća u razdoblju nakon prvog vala pandemije COVID-19 prikupljenima od strane Svjetske banke tijekom kolovoza i rujna 2020. i javno objavljenima početkom listopada 2020. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju kako je vjerojatnost pada izvoznih prihoda niža među poduzećima koja su probleme s likvidnošću riješila kapitalnim financiranjem, odgađanjem plaćanja dobavljačima i radnicima te s pomoću državnih potpora. Nije pronađen statistički značajan utjecaj oslobađanja od fiskalnih nameta, javnih subvencija plaća i zajmova komercijalnih banaka. Tvrtke s višom razinom otpornosti na vanjske poremećaje imaju manju vjerojatnost pada izvoznih prihoda. Utjecaj uvođenja ili pojačanja online prodaje na izvozne prihode negativan je. Rezultati istraživanja mogu poslužiti za oblikovanje ekonomskih politika u slučajevima sličnih poremećaja u budućnosti.

S obzirom na informacijski intenzitet, djelatnost osiguranja predstavlja jednog od najvećih korisnika informacijskih tehnologija (IT) u svijetu, a koji karakterizira kompleksnost i heterogenost. Svrha je ovoga istraživanja analiza utjecaja implementacije integriranog informacijskog sustava (IIS) na menadžersko računovodstvo u djelatnosti osiguranja Republike Hrvatske (RH) te Bosne i Hercegovine (BiH) s obzirom na nepostojanje konzistentnih rezultata u postojećoj literaturi. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom 2019./2020. u kojem je sudjelovalo 6 društava iz RH te 6 društava iz BiH. Prosječan broj godina korištenja IIS-a iznosi 13 (RH), odnosno 9 godina (BiH), što ukazuje na činjenicu zastupljenosti IIS-a u djelatnosti osiguranja koje obilježava visok stupanj iskorištenosti njegovih mogućnosti te uspješna implementacija. Prema dobivenim rezultatima, IIS značajno utječe na povećanje točnosti podataka koji se prikupljaju iz društva i okruženja te interno izvještavanje, međutim, nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između RH i BiH u efektima implementacije IIS-a na različite dimenzije menadžerskog računovodstva u djelatnosti osiguranja.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL DYNAMICS OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY OF EXPORT COMPANIES OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Information and communication and digital technologies provide numerous opportunities for companies so that companies can operate more easily and efficiently globally and, due to new technologies, gain a competitive advantage. New trends and technologies are creating great pressure in the market and companies are forced to look for new, faster and more efficient ways and models of doing business. Markets dictate the pace and are becoming more digital precisely due to technology that is advancing and evolving rapidly. With new technology, knowledge and innovations are the key factors to success. Many companies today are defined and described as knowledge companies that accumulate and develop existing knowledge but also adopt new. The aim of this paper was to explore and examine the ability of the organization to absorb knowledge (absorptive capacity) as the key factor in the process of acceptance of new technologies. The research was conducted in the Republic of Croatia and Croatian export companies (micro, small, medium and large) were included in the research. The research hypothesis "Technological dynamics of new technologies affect the absorptive capacity of acceptance of new technologies in export companies of the Republic of Croatia" was confirmed through conducted research. The research has proven that absorptive capacity plays a major role in the context of an organization’s ability to recognize, acquire, transform, and use new knowledge and new technologies.

This article presents findings from two episodes of seismicity and gas emission that occurred on 7 October 2015 and 6 December 2019 in Campi Flegrei caldera. This caldera has been affected by long-term unrest since 2004. The 6 December 2019 episode, consisting of a swarm of 38 earthquakes (maximum duration magnitude 3.1, the largest between 1984 and March 2020), occurred at the end of a one month period characterized by an increase in the ground uplift rate from 0.19±0.01 to 0.72±0.05  mm/day. A sudden increase in the fumarolic tremor amplitude, which is a proxy of gas emission-related parameters recorded at Solfatara–Pisciarelli hydrothermal area (e.g., CO2 air concentration), was observed during the seismicity episode. The uplift rate decreased immediately after the swarm (0.10±0.01  mm/day), whereas the fumarolic tremor amplitude remained higher than that observed prior to the swarm. Through analyzing the time series of uplift recorded in Pozzuoli (central area of the caldera) from differential measurements on tide gauges, we were able to identify the 2015 episode. This episode was characterized by increasing uplift rates that culminated in a seismic swarm of 33 earthquakes on 7 October, which was followed by decreasing uplift rates. We computed double-difference locations of earthquakes from the two swarms and found that they located along a conduit-like path, coinciding with a high-resistivity contrast zone, previously identified by audiomagnetotelluric measurements. The focal mechanisms of the major earthquakes of both swarms indicate fault planes radial with respect to the maximum uplift area. These phenomena can be interpreted as episodes of the volcanic and (or) hydrothermal system pressurization that culminate in an injection of fluids along the conduit-like path, which behaves as a valve that allows fluid discharge and the temporary depressurization of the source region.

The 15 May 2020, M 6.5 Monte Cristo Range, Nevada earthquake (MCE) occurred inside the footprint of the semicontinuous MAGNET and continuous Network of the Americas Global Positioning System (GPS) networks, which provide precise geodetic coverage in the western Great basin. The event occurred in the White Mountain seismic gap between twentieth century events in the eastern central Walker Lane, on an east-northeast extension of faults in the Candelaria Hills. The earthquake precipitated a rapid and sustained GPS field response, which is providing data on the MCE pre-, co-, and postseismic deformation. The response was especially rapid owing to ∼1 dozen MAGNET stations immediately surrounding the epicenter being fortuitously occupied with receivers at event time. Modeling the coseismic displacements suggests that the MCE offset was ∼1  m, greater than the individual observations of surface rupture, but consistent with the seismic moment. Although the epicenter is separated from most of the observed surface rupture by ∼10  km, the slip plane inferred from the GPS data spans the gap, suggesting deep slip continuity that tapered toward the surface, making the event partially blind. However, the range of magnitudes estimated from geologic, geodetic, and seismic data overlap in the range of Mw 6.3–6.4. Postseismic displacement over several months occurred in directions aligned with the coseismic displacement, suggesting afterslip of over 9% of the coseismic displacement, too large to be explained by aftershock seismicity, suggesting that most postseismic deformation was aseismic. The interseismic direction of no-length change was very closely aligned to the MCE slip azimuth, as expected for a strike-slip event. This alignment is sensitive to transient postseismic viscoelastic deformation from previous earthquakes in the western Great basin, which may have temporarily improved the alignment. Thus, these viscoelastic transients may have created conditions favoring the slip to occur on the MCE fault.

El Covid-19 cerró las puertas del mundo y puso a prueba la adaptabilidad de los ordenamientos jurídicos en áreas especialmente sensibles a los cambios económicos como el Derecho del Trabajo. La intensidad de la crisis evidenció que el sistema laboral en Ecuador está construido sobre la base de asunciones quiméricas desconectadas de la realidad. Este artículo realiza una crítica a la capacidad del modelo para acoger los retos laborales durante y después del gran confinamiento. También, se examinan las medidas adoptadas en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria que Ecuador adoptó. Asimismo, el autor evalúa las respuestas a esta problemática propuestas en la Ley de Apoyo Humanitario. Por último, se exploran los mayores cambios alos que el sistema laboral debería someterse para seguir vigente y lograr su acometido principal: proteger al trabajador y fomentar la productividad.
The role of rapid diagnostic point of care IgG/IgM antibody tests in the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Authors:   University of Louisville, Tripathi Nishita
Published: December 2020

Background: Current testing of symptomatic patients for SARS-CoV-2 involves the use of nucleic acid amplification tests, also known as genetic, RNA or PCR to detect viral RNA. The initial use of point-of-care (POC) antibody tests, also known as serological tests in the management of SARS-CoV-2 infection was limited. In this review, we determine the significance of POC antibody serological tests and explore their possible role in the diagnosis and management of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. Methods: A literature search was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Embase, and supplemented by searching the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) websites. We identified 7 articles published in the last 6 months pertaining to the keywords. The sensitivity and specificity of the IgG/IgM antibody tests obtained from these studies were compared and used to determine the clinical importance of the rapid diagnostic antibody test in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Results: Through the literature review, it was found that POC diagnostic antibody tests can be used as an adjuvant with the nucleic acid amplification tests in determining both active and post-exposure antibodies. These rapid antibody IgG/IgM tests had high sensitivity, the ability of a test to correctly identify those with the disease, and high specificity, the ability of the test to correctly identify those without the disease. Conclusion: Emerging studies indicate the importance of POC antibody serological testing as an important diagnostic tool in the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Considering the limitations of the molecular methods of testing, POC antibody tests can help reduce dependency on the molecular assays of testing when used in conjunction with them.
