Published: December 2023

Evaluation of the effect of glaucoma medication is restricted by measurement of IOP as a dynamic physiological parameter. Present paper aimed to compare IOP fluctuations over time using Goldmann applanation tonometry (IOP-GAT) and pulsatile ocular blood flow analyzer (IOP-POBFA) under the apropos treatment regimes. Prospective 1 year follow-up study comprised of 30 patients of open angle glaucoma (60 eyes): 16 patients (32 eyes) receiving dorzolamide/timolol fixed combination (D/T) and 14 (28 eyes) latanoprost 0.005%. After 1 year follow-up D/T and latanoprost results referred to statistically significant tachyphylaxis effect, i.e. IOP-GAT increased in 2.31mmHg with D/T (p=0.007) and 2.72mmHg (p=0.004) with latanoprost and IOP-POBFA increased in 1.74mmHg (p=0.026) and 3.13 mmHg (p=0.007) respectively. Observed tachyphylaxis effects after 1 year under both treatment regimes should be assessed with respect to patient compliance and persistence to treatment.
Antemortem Diagnosis of New York Human Rabies Case and Review of U. S. Cases
Authors:   Bureau of Communicable Disease Control, New York State Department of Health, Albany, New York, USA, Eidson Millicent
Published: December 2023

A human case of imported dog-variant rabies is described and compared with previous cases to elucidate clinical patterns and methods to improve early confirmation and triage of human contacts to reduce associated health care costs. In 2000, a 54-year-old man presented to a New York hospital with lower back discomfort seven days after arrival from Africa. Rabies was first suspected 8 days after symptom onset based on clinical signs, specimens were collected on the same day, and rabies infection was confirmed the following day (fluorescence antibody testing on nuchal skin biopsy specimen). By the 13th day after illness onset, he was unresponsive, and life support was removed on day 15. Subsequently, an African dog variant was confirmed by nucleic acid sequence analysis of rabies viral RNA extracted and amplified from the patient’s saliva. Management of human concerns about exposure to the patient kept the number of persons receiving postexposure prophylaxis to 26. With less than half of the U.S. human rabies cases being diagnosed antemortem, this case emphasizes the need to routinely include rabies in the differential diagnosis of any unexplained encephalitis to reduce potential human exposures, and for potential life-saving treatment if such treatments are developed and verified to be effective.
Characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic waves propagating in a magnetized relativistic degenerate plasma
Authors: A. Hager Yusra A. , Khaled Mahmood A. H. , Shukri Mohamed A.
Published: December 2023

A linear analysis was performed to investigate the basic properties of waves propagating in different directions in magnetized quantam plasma consisting of classical warm ions and relativistic degenerate electrons. We employ a quantum magnetohydrodynamic approach considering quantum corrections, spin effects in addition to relativity, and a polytropic index to obtain a generalized dispersion relation of the regarded plasma system. The considered system supports three types of magnetohydrodynamic waves: Alfven, fast, and slow magnetosonic waves. The obtained modified Alfven and magnetosonic dispersion relations are affected by the obliqueness factor, spin magnetization, and plasma beta .The fast and slow modes were also altered owing to the Bohm potential and relativistic degenerate pressure impacts. Examination of the influences of these parameters revealed a significant modification of the phase velocity features of the magnetohydrodynamic waves. The results obtained may be applicable to relativistic magnetized quantum plasmas in astrophysical environments.
Analysis Of Mining Algorithms for Patterns of Frequent Item sets and Hidden
Authors: Al-Badani Abdulkader Mohammed Abdulla , Al-Khulaidi Abdualmajed A. G.
Published: December 2023

Frequent set-item mining is a widely used technique in the field of data mining. The algorithm utilized in Association Rules constitutes the primary source of contention; this approach is memory-intensive and time-intensive. The extraction process for concealed patterns of frequent item sets, on the other hand, becomes more time-consuming as the volume of data grows. Therefore, the necessary algorithm for mining the patterns of frequently occurring concealed item sets must be memory-efficient and fast-running. By analyzing various algorithms for locating frequent item sets, this paper aims to contribute to the development of a more efficient algorithm in this domain. The paper will evaluate the efficiency of different algorithms by considering their memory usage and runtime. Additionally, it will explore potential improvements to existing algorithms to enhance their performance in mining frequently occurring concealed item sets.

Authors: CHERIET Foued , LUBELLO Pasquale
Published: December 2023

The internationalization’s process of emerging countries’ multinational firms (EMNF) challenges the theoretical approaches in international business. This work aims to identify the specificities of EMNF’s internationalization through the study of the internationalization of JBS, a Brazilian firm world leader in meat production. Based on internal company data and a collection of secondary information, we have traced around fifty acquisition operations in Brazil and abroad. Our results confirm that the EMNFs’ internationalization process follows a specific trajectory compared to those revealed by last internationalization models (Born Global, Springbaord, Casino). It reveals a particular logic: strong financial dimension, acquisitions of subsidiaries of international groups, then used to acquire other firms, controlled geographical expansion and aimed at securing supply and distribution, and strong support from financial and political institutions in the origin country.

Published: December 2023

Using the scenography of the video game Animal Crossing: New Horizons (ACNH) to create an experience similar to visiting a real museum was the challenge taken up during a period of lockdown by the Natural Science Museum in Angers. Through the prism of perceived value, this article highlights the challenges associated with using the ACNH consumer video game as part of a museum strategy. Using a qualitative approach based on the operation deployed by Angers Museum, the aim is to identify the sources of value in the experience of visiting a museum via a video game. At the heart of the visitor experience are the intellectual, social and emotional sources of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Because the reality of feelings is made up of nuances, this study also highlights an intermediate zone, referred to as the frustration zone.

Addressing the Gap: Educational Research and its Implementation
Authors:   The Lebanese University, Lebanon., Yazigy Rula
Published: December 2023

Education is an essential feature of every civilization as it attempts to develop the various aspects of knowledge of the community. Research in education is a significant topic for study itself to connect research and practice in Education. Therefore, research in education must become a priority as it bridges the existence of any gap between the findings of research and the implementation of the recommendations, and to limit any future possibility of its existence. The applicability of research findings is not whether it leads to clear implications for practice, but also whether the implications will materialise in the educational setting and whether the stakeholders will accommodate to the required changes (Bridges, 2015). This paper offers some definitions of educational research and its characteristics, types and levels of educational, and investigates its limitations in practice- the gap between research and practice. There is reference to research in higher education in the Arab world in general and Lebanon in particular. Suggestions are made to support the connection between educational research and educational practice mainly through Research-Practice collaboration. These include the need to support researchers by various bodies in the education field such as universities, governmental institutions, research centers and educational organisations, and more importantly to offer the findings and follow up the implementation practices to help practitioners overcome the real world problems.

ANÁLISE DISCURSIVA DA REPRESENTAÇÃO DE MULHERES NEGRAS NA CAMPANHA #AVONTÁON
Authors: Lourenço Suéllen Stéfani Felício , Xavier Mariana Ramalho Procópio , Reis Ana Carolina Gonçalves
Published: December 2023

Este artigo objetiva analisar discursivamente a representação de mulheres negras na campanha publicitária #AvonTáOn do ano de 2021. Dentre os principais resultados observou-se que a Avon realiza uma tentativa de se desvencilhar de representações cristalizadas acerca da mulher negra. Para isso, a empresa buscou promover o enaltecimento das características fenotípicas negras e a valorização dos cabelos crespos, através da adoção de procedimentos linguísticos e icônicos. Por outro lado, apesar de haver uma tentativa da Avon de romper com algumas cristalizações, identificou-se a reprodução do imaginário da mulher negra atrelada ao Carnaval, além do uso de indumentárias e enquadramentos que expõem determinadas partes do corpo, denotando sensualidade. Concluiu-se, a partir das análises, que embora haja uma proposta de reposicionamento da Avon, ainda se observam resgates de construções que estereotipam a mulher negra.
THE USE OF ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES TO PROMOTE THE ENGAGEMENT OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS
Authors: Silva Jean dos Santos
Published: December 2023

This article addresses the use of active methodologies in foreign language teaching in higher education, aiming to promote student motivation and engagement. The transformations that have occurred in this area have driven the search for more effective and engaging pedagogical approaches. Traditional methods often fail to meet students' expectations, resulting in low motivation and engagement. Research highlights the importance of motivation and engagement for successful learning. Active methodologies, which place students as protagonists of the learning process, have proven to be a dynamic and participatory alternative. Studies show that such approaches result in greater student motivation and engagement. In addition, the use of educational technologies, such as digital games, has also been shown to be effective in this context. However, further research is needed to explore their applicability and provide practical guidance to teachers. The implementation of active methodologies requires careful planning and adaptation to students' needs and teaching contexts.

50 lat dialogu Romana Dziadkiewicza z Muzeum Narodowym w Krakowie
Authors: Kuryłek Dominik
Published: December 2023

Artykuł koncentruje się na serii działań Romana Dziadkiewicza pod nazwą "Imhibicja", zorganizowanych w Muzeum Narodowym w Krakowie, przestrzeni publicznej Krakowa oraz prywatnym mieszkaniu. Długotrwała produkcja składała się z kilku elementów, takich jak: autorski seans psychoanalityczny, prezentacja zamkniętej książki w przestrzeni publicznej i prywatnej, crowd performance w Galerii Sztuki Polskiej XIX wieku w Sukiennicach czy dyskretne ingerencje w galerie stałe głównej siedziby Muzeum. Działania wobec sztuki różnych epok historycznych zostały podjęte w celu podkreślenia ich współczesnego, muzealnego kontekstu. Wprowadzenie do instytucji świadomej refleksji nad współczesnością sprawia, że jej zabytki przestają być jedynie zapisem przeszłości, a stają się obiektami prowokującymi do zrozumienia teraźniejszości. Artystom udało się osiągnąć formułę, dzięki której nowoczesność jest w muzeum kategorią stałą, stale aktualną i aktywną.
Charakterystyka osady kultury przeworskiej z okresu rzymskiego w Nieszawie Kolonii, gmina Józefów nad Wisłą, powiat opolski, województwo lubelskie – osiągnięcia i perspektywy badawcze
Authors: Stasiak-Cyran Marta
Published: December 2023

Interdyscyplinarne badania na stanowisku 5 w Nieszawie Kolonii pow. Opole Lubelskie, woj. lubelskie, dostarczyły wielu danych, które często w znacznym stopniu podważają dotychczasowe analizy okresu rzymskiego na Lubelszczyźnie. Większość źródeł datowana jest na fazy B2 i B2/C1-C1a okresu rzymskiego. Można jednak również zaobserwować długą serię zabytków metalowych i ceramicznych, które wskazują, że osadnictwo nad Wisłą funkcjonowało jeszcze w okresie późnego Rzymu i wczesnej migracji (tj. C3, a nawet koniec faz C2 i D1). Fakt ten rzuca nowe światło na kwestię upadku osadnictwa kultury przeworskiej na Lubelszczyźnie. Na obszarze wykopalisk o powierzchni 2215,8 m2 odkryto 123 obiekty. Badania geofizyczne potwierdziły istnienie obiektów na powierzchni ok. 1,2 ha. Zebrano prawie 40 000 fragmentów ceramiki i kilkaset zabytków z innych źródeł. Stanowisko jest największą przebadaną osadą kultury przeworskiej z reliktami architektury mieszkalnej na Lubelszczyźnie. Wyniki technicznych badań archeologicznych, fizykochemicznych i przyrodniczych pozwalają na stworzenie wieloaspektowej charakterystyki osady. Warto podkreślić, że część analiz została przeprowadzona po raz pierwszy na potrzeby stanowiska z terenu Lubelszczyzny datowanego na okres rzymski. Wśród tych pionierskich prac znajdują się: analiza paleobotaniczna, badania mineralogiczno-petrograficzne oraz datowanie ceramiki metodą termoluminescencyjną. Interdyscyplinarne badania osady w Nieszawie Kolonii, prowadzone m.in. w ramach projektów finansowanych przez Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego, konsekwentnie wypełniają potrzebę kompleksowej analizy źródeł, co otwiera nowe perspektywy badawcze.
O najnowszych badaniach architektonicznych w pałacu Lubomirskich
Authors: Janus Krzysztof
Published: December 2023

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia dzieje pałacu Lubomirskich znajdującego się przy placu Litewskim 3 w Lublinie. Mimo iż obiekt ten był już kilkakrotnie opisywany i częściowo przebadany, to nadal nie wiemy, co zachowało się z jego pierwotnej substancji, jakie kryje tajemnice i ślady przeszłości. W XIX wieku zwany był „Radziwiłłowskim”, choć Radziwiłłowie nigdy nie byli jego właścicielami. Dopiero od kilkunastu lat powoli przywracana jest nazwa nawiązująca do pierwszych właścicieli. Dotychczasowe opracowania opierają się na ubogich informacjach pochodzących ze źródeł historycznych i na materiałach pozyskanych w drodze badań archeologicznych, architektonicznych, konserwatora dzieł sztuki i konstrukcyjnych. Żadne z tych prac nie obejmowały swym zakresem całego budynku, ale jedynie niewielkie jego fragmenty, stąd dzieje i tajemnice pałacu czekają jeszcze na odkrycie.

Development and Investigation of Cost-Sensitive Pruned Decision Tree Model for Improved Schizophrenia Diagnosis
Authors: Nwoye Ephraim , Woo Wai Lok , Fidelis Obinna , Umeh Charles , Gao Bin
Published: December 2023

Schizophrenia is often characterized by delusions, hallucinations, and other cognitive difficulties, affects approximately seventy million adults globally. This study presents a cost-sensitive pruned Decision Tree J48 model for fast and accurate diagnosis of Schizophrenia. The model implements supervised learning procedures with 10-fold cross-validation resampling method and utilizes unstructured filter to replace missing values in the data with the modal values of corresponding features. Features are selected using Pearson’s correlation on hot-coded data to detect redundancy in data. Cost matrix is designed to minimize the tendencies of the J48 algorithm to predict false negative outcomes. This consequently reduces the error of the model in diagnosing a Schizophrenia candidate as free from the disease. The model is found to significantly diagnose Schizophrenia with 78% accuracy, 89.7% sensitivity, 57.4% specificity and Area under the Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.895. The ROC curve is also seen to distinguish Schizophrenia from other conditions with similar symptoms. These results show the potential of machine-learning models for quick, effective diagnosis of schizophrenia.

People in general, struggling to filter which news to trust and which one to discard. Even the sly people take advantage of the situation by spreading false news and misleading the people. Natural Language Processing, one of the major branch of Machine Learning, the wealth of research is remarkable. However, new challenges underpinning this development. Here in this work, Naive Bayes Classifier, a Bayesian approach of Machine Learning algorithm has applied to identify the fake news. We showed, besides the algorithms, how the wealth of corpora can assist to improve the performance. The dataset collected from an open-source, has been used to classify whether the news is authenticated or not. Initially, we achieved classification accuracy about 87% which is higher than previously reported accuracy and then 92% by the same Naive Bayes Algorithm with enriched corpora.
Lightweight Model for the Prediction of COVID-19 Through the Detection and Segmentation of Lesions in Chest CT Scans
Authors: Ter-Sarkisov Aram
Published: December 2023

We introduce a lightweight model that segments areas with the Ground Glass Opacity and Consolidation and predicts COVID-19 from chest CT scans. The model uses truncated ResNet18 and ResNet34 as a backbone net, and Mask R-CNN functionality for lesion segmentation. Without any class balancing and data manipulations, and using only a small fraction of the training data, COVID-CT-Mask-Net classification model with 6.12M total and 600K trainable parameters, achieves 91.35% COVID-19 sensitivity, 91.63% Common Pneumonia sensitivity, 96.98% true negative rate and 93.95% overall accuracy on COVIDx-CT dataset (21191 images). The full source code, models and pre-trained weights are available on https://github.com/AlexTS1980/COVID-CT-Mask-Net.
A Multi-class Machine Learning Framework to Predict Ampicillin-Sulbactam Resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Bhosale Hrushikesh , Ramakrishnan Vigneshwar , Jayaraman Valadi K
Published: December 2023

Acinetobacter baumannii is a serious pathogen responsible for many of the hospital-acquired infections. The emergence of multi-drug and pan-drug resistant strains of A. baumannii has been a growing concern. Ampicillin-sulbactam combination has proven to be effective in treatment of several resistant strains. However, strains resistant to ampicillin-sulbactam combination have also emerged necessitating other combination therapy. Rapid and accurate identification of the phenotype of the organism is essential for starting the right treatment. To this end, genome-based approaches have garnered much attention. In this work, we report a multi-class machine-learning based approach to predict the ampicillin-sulbactam resistance phenotype and MIC of Acinetobacter baumannii based on the presence/absence of AMR genes in the genome of strains isolated in the USA region. Our model achieves an accuracy of about 94% indicating that the gene presence/absence itself can capture the resistance phenotype. Further, we show that our model, built based on the USA strains, does not predict reliably the AMR phenotypes of Indian isolates pointing to the need for building machine learning models from region-specific data.

Background: Intake of glucocorticoids (GCs) may result in iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome. Objective: To describe a case of severe iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome caused by administration of a non-prescription drug adulterated with dexamethasone, and to alert physicians and public about harm associated with this product. Methods: PubMed and internet search up to July 24, 2022. Search terms are Cushing’s, glucocorticoids, adulteration, iatrogenic. Case reports, case series and review articles are included. Case report: A 54-year-old man presented with severe Cushinoid features. Laboratory work-up was consistent with exogenous source of GCs. Patient denied previous or current intake of GCs but reported taking a health product called “Artri-King” for knee pain. Inspection of this drug did not reveal any GCs among its ingredients. Yet, laboratory analysis performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed that this drug contains dexamethasone, which was not listed on the product label. Review of literature reveals that GC adulteration in Chinese health products is common. Among 61 patients who consumed GC-adulterated Chinese medicines, dexamethasone was implicated in 47.5%. Most subjects (62.3%) taking products with undeclared GCs had one or more complications attributed to GCs, 11.5% required admission to intensive care, and 3.3% died. In another series, iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome was the second clinical presentation of use of adulterated Chinese medicines occurring in 10.6% of cases, whereas psychosis was the first most frequent presentation (12.9% of cases). Conclusion: In any case of iatrogenic Cushing’s syndrome, discontinuation of supplemental health products is essential because many of these products may include undeclared GCs.

Authors: Amariannisa Hani , Hidayat M. Fitrah
Published: December 2023

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder that presents with manic and depressive episodes. The mood episodes appear as random and unpredictable episodes. The frequency and course of manic and depressive episodes may vary in each case and be determined by environmental factors as well as patient susceptibility.. A 25-year-old man, looks age appropriate, lacks self-care. He was taken to the emergency room because he was making noise about recommendations since 1 week before he was admitted to the hospital. 3 days before came to hospital was confused, easily emotional and had difficulty sleeping, talking to herself, having difficulty communicating, including being in a trance and starting to borrow and owe money to other people. Patients also see and hear sounds that other people do not hear. Further studies are needed for the evaluation of patients with bipolar disorder with psychosis and to acknowledge the treatment options with psychosocial educations as the support the treatment of bipolar disorder.

Authors: Szymanik-Kostrzewska Anna
Published: December 2023

Wprowadzenie. Artykuł bazuje na koncepcji mitów wychowawczych autorstwa Janusza Trempały (2010) i dotyczy dwóch z nich – o tym, że dziecko jest najważniejsze na świecie, więc należy mu dać wszystko to, co najlepsze, oraz o tym, że rodzic jest odpowiedzialny za zapewnienie dziecku szczęśliwego dzieciństwa. Cel. Celem badań było określenie stopnia natężenia matczynych przekonań i deklarowanych zachowań, które wynikają z kierowania się mitami wychowawczymi, a także określenie zmiennych socjodemograficznych, mających znaczenie dla przekonań i zachowań. Materiały i metody. Zastosowano autorski Kwestionariusz Wybranych Mitów Rodzicielskich. W dobrowolnych, anonimowych badaniach wzięło udział 1217 matek (18-55 lat; M = 33; SD = 6) przynajmniej jednego dziecka w wieku 1-10 lat. Wyniki. Badane kobiety w umiarkowanym stopniu kierowały się mitami wychowawczymi w swoich przekonaniach oraz deklarowanych zachowaniach. Zmienne socjodemograficzne miały marginalny wpływ na wyniki. Wnioski. Podstawy popularności mitów rodzicielskich odniesiono do specyfiki myślenia potocznego. Rezultaty badania omówiono w kontekście analogicznych sposobów myślenia o dzieciach matek w Chinach oraz konsekwencji spadku dzietności w Polsce i wzrostu liczby jedynaków w rodzinach.

Environmental Semantics
Authors: Bromhead Helen , Levisen Carsten
Published: December 2023

Environmental semantics is the study of the meanings of words, expressions, and constructions that pertain to climate, weather, and associated social phenomena, including environmentalism. Through the composition of semantic explications, scripts, and models, phrased in natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) or minimal languages, one can illuminate the relationship between language and people, and the social, cultural, and environmental systems in which they are embedded. Environmental destruction, including climate crisis, is a wicked problem. How people express themselves through language encodes attitudes and values held towards the environment, broadly defined. In this way, language is one piece of the puzzle. Although of worldwide concern, many climate and weather events happen locally in specific geographic, historical, and cultural contexts, and instantiate local linguacultural expressions. At the same time, discussion of environment increasingly occurs between people of different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, often using English as a global language.
The Meaning of Manners in Australian English
Authors: Waters Sophia
Published: December 2023

Conventional wisdom says that Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot. While manners have been studied by sociologists, anthropologists, and historians, who have uncovered an array of social processes performed in seemingly trivial daily encounters, this study, with its ethnopragmatic approach to semantics through the natural semantic metalanguage, brings a new perspective. The uniting theme of these “rules” in the Australian context centres on personal autonomy and its concomitant norm of not telling people what to do. The importance of manners in Australian English is evident in its frequency of use and its prominence in Australian child-rearing and etiquette literature.
Explicating a Virtue
Authors: Tissari Heli
Published: December 2023

This article explicates the eighteenth-century English concept of “chastity” through analyzing the noun chastity, the adjective chaste and the adverb chastely in the Corpus of Late Modern English Texts 3.1. Nine prominent characteristics of “chastity” are examined to arrive at an explication of “sexual chastity”. Firstly, chastity was considered (1) a virtue. Secondly, it often meant (2) virginity or complete abstinence from sex. However, it also referred to (3) marital love. Eighteenth-century authors were more prone to discuss (4) women’s than men’s chastity. Metaphorically, chastity was considered a (5) valuable commodity, and it was discussed in terms of (6) attack and defence, and of (7) purity. Chastity was supposed to characterize a person’s (8) acts, behaviour, and comportment. The understanding of these characteristics had (9) religious underpinnings.
Conceptual Semantics and Public Messaging
Authors: Diget Ida Stevia , Goddard Cliff
Published: December 2023

This study explores the conceptual semantics of risk–benefit discourse about COVID-19 vaccination and the implications for public health messaging. The underlying methodology is the natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) approach. The study proposes a semantic explication of the English word risk in one of its most frequently used frames in COVID-19 vaccine discourse (i.e. the risk of ...), as well as an “advice script” for the complex task of “weighing the risks and benefits” of a vaccination decision. Drawing on COVID-19 vaccination campaigns in Australia and Denmark, the study stresses the difficulties of communicating public health messages using conceptually complex and culture-specific words such as risk. Though the issues are complex, it is argued that adopting a minimal languages approach may provide a way forward, by enabling the creation of texts that are both easier to understand and more easily translated.
Cognitive Cultural Semantics
Authors: Levisen Carsten , Fernández Susana S. , Hein Jan
Published: December 2023

As human beings, we live profoundly meaning-centred lives. But the words and meanings we live by, and the discourse rituals of our daily interactions, most often escape our conscious awareness. This is why the role of linguistic analysis is to “light up the thick darkness of language”, as Benjamin Lee Whorf put it (1956:73), and “thereby much of the thought, the culture, and the outlook upon life of a given community” (ibid). In one of her early visionary works on linguistic semantics, Anna Wierzbicka (1980:22) stated: “this is what semantics is very largely about: the exploration of the depths of our consciousness”. The study of semantics brings together what we have all too often compartmentalized as "language and culture” and “lexicon and grammar”. United by the holistic attempt to understand and illuminate meaning, semanticists have a question space that stands out. Unlike the political scientist who might ask “what is democracy?”, or the biologist who might ask “what is an animal?”, semanticists frame their questions differently: “what does democracy mean?”, and “what does animal mean?”. Semantic studies centre on what words mean to speakers in a given community, and successful semantic analyses capture “emic” perspectives: insider construals of meaning, rather than the views, definitions, and registers of experts and outside observers. The contributors to this special issue all share the idea that the meaning of words intersects with habitual ways of thinking and knowing (roughly, the “cognitive” aspect), and more broadly with ways of living (roughly, the “cultural” aspect), and the approach to semantics that we seek to advance can therefore be called “cognitive cultural semantics”. We also share an approach and a methodology, namely, the “natural semantic metalanguage”, or NSM approach for short, and its method of paraphrase.
Efficiency of Use Fixed Assets in the Context of Profitability – Empirical Evidence of Food Industry Enterprises in Visegrad Group
Authors: NOvotná Martina , Volek Tomáš
Published: December 2023

Efficient use of production resources in enterprises is necessary for increasing their competitiveness and the potential for their future development. In today's global world, companies are forced to invest in new technologies that are both more energy-efficient and more environmentally friendly, including in the food industry. The paper focusses on the efficiency of production factors in relation to their economic success. The aim is to find possible variants of the development of the links between capital labour ratio and labour productivity in relation to the development of profitability of returns. Empirical analysis coved 2,526 enterprises in food industry in four examined European countries (Visegrad group -V4) - Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovak Republic. The contribution of the paper is the generalization of the links between the indicators of the efficiency of production factors in the form of recommended inequalities that can be used by enterprises for economically successful development.
