HOW EFFECTIVE IS BOARD GAMIFICATION, USING NUDGING PRINCIPLES, IN PROMOTING FINANCIAL LITERACY AMONG CHILDREN?
Authors: AHMED HAIDER NAFEES
Published: October 2023

This paper discusses the efficacy of a gamified approach to promoting financial literacy and sound financial decision-making in children between the ages of twelve and eighteen. The study employs a specifically designed board game targeted to a Pakistani audience focusing on key principles in investing, ownership, and financial resource allocation. Trial runs were organized at a local school in a community with relatively fair representation across economic strata, and the results obtained show a marked increase in financial intuition in children in higher age brackets, with uptake decreasing roughly proportional to a decrease in age. Considerations for the level of complexity and quantifiable analysis of the results obtained have been discussed below.

Published: October 2023

La International Project Management Association (IPMA) ha desarrollado tres estándares fundamentales, la International Competence Baseline (ICB) que define las competencias que debe desarrollar a lo largo de su carrera profesional un director de proyectos, programas y portfolios o carteras (PPP), la Organizational Competence Baseline (OCB) que define las competencias de carácter organizacional que debe tener una empresa o institución para desarrollar PPP exitosamente, y el tercero, publicado más recientemente, el Project Excellence Baseline (PEB). PEB se desarrolló inicialmente como una herramienta interna de análisis expost de los resultados y procedimientos de ejecución de proyectos, con el fin de evaluar los proyectos presentados a los premios mundiales de dirección de proyectos de IPMA. Sin embargo, en 2016, IPMA decidió abrirlo al público con objeto de ofrecer a la comunidad de practicantes de la dirección de proyectos una herramienta para la mejora de la gestión de los mismos. El objeto del presente trabajo es analizar la posible aplicación del PEB, no únicamente al final del proyecto como originalmente fue diseñado, sino potenciando su uso al aplicarlo a las fases tempranas del mismo. Con este objetivo se analizará su posible aplicación a un proyecto del sector de la construcción.

Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penulisan artikel adalah pendekatan undang-undang (statue approach), pendekatan komparatif (comparative approach), dan pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach). Jenis bahan hukum meliputi bahan hukum primer dan sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka yang selanjutnya akan dianalisis secara deduktif dengan logika silogisme. menunjukan bahwa pertama, terkait dengan kepengurusan organ PT Perorangan berdasarkan UU Cipta Kerja, PT Perorangan hanya memiliki 1 (satu) organ, yaitu pemegang saham yang merangkap jabatannya sebagai direksi. Wewenang yang dimiliki oleh Pemegang saham dalam “Rapat Umum Pemegang Saham” digantikan dengan “Keputusan Pemegang Saham” tanpa adanya “musyawarah/rapat” sehingga bersifat mutlak dan memiliki kekuatan hukum yang sama seperti RUPS. Kedua, terkait perbandingan pertanggungjawaban organ PT Perorangan antara Indonesia dengan Jerman, yaitu keduanya memiliki tanggungjawab terbatas pada saham yang dimiliki dan juga dapat dikenakan pertanggungjawaban tidak terbatas. Namun, konsep “konsep one-tier system di Indonesia memiliki perbedaan antara One-tier system pada Gesellschaft mit Beschrankter Haftung (GmbH) di Jerman sehingga pertanggungjawaban berakibat sulit untuk menerapkan pertanggungjawaban terbatas bagi PT Perorangan di Indonesia

Published: October 2023

The condition of a busy restaurant sometimes makes it difficult for waiters to monitor and provide satisfactory service to customers. Customers must wave when they want to call waiters but feel ignored or not seen and will feel uncomfortable with the atmosphere and calm in the dining room. An Internet of Things (IOT) based desk status monitoring system is a concept that has the ability to transfer data over a network without the need for human-to-human interaction. This study proposes a table status monitoring system in IOT-based restaurants. This tool is made so that it can be applied to large rooms and crowded visitors. A device equipped with wireless communication to send data to the server, so that it can be monitored in real time. If the button on the tool is pressed, the system will send a signal to the relay to give a call sign warning to restaurant staff/waitresses. The results of this study indicate that status information from tables requesting service from waiters will respond to these service requests and help optimize service at restaurants so that they can satisfy their customers.

The object of the study is the dispersed fractions of an aerosol substance in the snow cover. At the sampling sites located in the middle taiga zone within the Mezen-Vychegoda Plain on a high terrace in the Sysola river valley, 3 km west of the city of Syktyvkar, fresh snow and surface frost were sampled. The analysis of the ratios in the surface hoarfrost of subdispersed fractions of the aerosol substance was carried out in conjunction with the granulometric analysis of freshly fallen snow. Studies using the method of dynamic light scattering of the granulometric composition of an aerosol substance in freshly fallen snow and surface hoarfrost formed between snowfalls showed that a bimodal distribution of particles is recorded in all snow samples. At the same time, the distribution of submicron aerosol particles in frost samples is already characterized by the presence of three modes. Also, with an increase in the duration of the period between snowfalls in hoarfrost samples, a redistribution of particles between fine and medium fractions is observed in the direction of a significant increase in particles in the fine fraction, but the volume concentration of particles of the large fraction changes slightly. It is assumed that the identified circumstance is associated with the action of capillary forces and the adhesion of dry precipitation during the crystal formation of hoarfrost (it is proposed to call this phenomenon "frosty condensation"). A similar effect was also observed in the West Siberian southern taiga and the coastal tundra of the Lower Pechora region.
Foreign experience in the application of economic mechanisms for regulating environmental externalities
Authors: Ivanov Maksim Olegovich
Published: October 2023

In modern global conditions, the solution of issues related to the payment of environmental management is of particular relevance. In many countries, one of the main mechanisms for countering environmental pollution is the environmental tax, which in the Russian Federation takes the form of a parafiscal payment, that is, a fee for negative environmental impact. The article analyzes the foreign countries experience in the application of economic mechanisms for regulating environmental externalities (externalities), draws conclusions about the features of environmental taxation abroad, identifies classification features and types of environmental taxes, payments, and fees used in foreign practice, and offers recommendations on the application of environmental taxes in the Russian Federation. In most developed countries of the world, market mechanisms are used to regulate issues in environmental policy, which facilitate the adoption of decisions by economic entities aimed at reducing environmental harm with the lowest economic costs. At the same time, tax instruments are designed to assess the relationship between the contributions of polluting enterprises to budgets and the degree of harm these enterprises cause to the environment. The environmental tax is the main instrument for regulating issues related to the negative impact on the environment. The experience of the EU and OECD countries shows that environmental taxes, which make up a significant part of the revenue base of the budgets of these countries, are understood as taxes on environmentally hazardous economic activities.
Filumena Marturano: dalla commedia al dramma nel nome di Medea
Authors: Del Gatto Antonella
Published: October 2023

Euripides’ Medea and Eduardo’s Filumena Marturano prefigure a serious social malaise. They reveal critical attitudes towards problems that have individual and sentimental as well as political and even legal implications. By confronting the spectator with an anomalous but possible situation, they encourage him to face his own conscience. Since Medea is primarily a long reflection on the duties of hospitality towards ‘the stranger’ and respect for ‘the other’, principles on the basis of which Euripides revises and manipulates the original myth, Eduardo’s revisiting of the archetype is driven by a profound need to rediscover classical roots at a particularly critical moment in Western history, such as the post-war period.

Published: October 2023

In the 1920s, Lewis Stadler initiated the introduction of permanent improvements to the genetic makeup of irradiated plants. Since then, studies related to breeding mutations have grown, as efforts have been made to expand and improve crop productivity and quality. Stadler’s discovery began with x-rays on corn and barley and later extended to the use of gamma-rays, thermal, and fast neutrons in crops. Radiation has since been shown to be an effective and unique method for increasing the genetic variability of species, including rice. Numerous systematic reviews have been conducted on the impact of physical mutagens on the production and grain quality of rice in Southeast Asia. However, the existing literature still lacks information on the type of radiation used, the rice planting materials used, the dosage of physical mutagens, and the differences in mutated characteristics. Therefore, this article aims to review existing literature on the use of physical mutagens in rice crops in Southeast Asian countries. Guided by the PRISMA Statement review method, 28 primary studies were identified through a systematic review of the Scopus, Science Direct, Emerald Insight, Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing, and MDPI journal databases published between 2016 and 2020. The results show that 96% of the articles used seeds as planting materials, and 80% of the articles focused on gamma-rays as a source of physical mutagens. The optimal dosage of gamma-rays applied was around 100 to 250 Gy to improve plant development, abiotic stress, biochemical properties, and nutritional and industrial quality of rice.
Evolutionary insights on critically endangered Kashmir red deer or hangul (Cervus hanglu hanglu) through a mitogenomic lens

Published: October 2023

Background

The Kashmir red deer or Hangul (Cervus hanglu hanglu) is the only Tarim red deer species endemic to India. With a current estimated population size of fewer than 200 individuals, this critically endangered species is confined to the greater Dachigam landscape in Jammu and Kashmir. Poaching, habitat loss and fragmentation, resource competition with livestock, and small population size are the major conservation challenges for this species.

Methods

Blood sampling was conducted from two wild Hangul individuals during radio-collaring operations at Dachigam National Park, Kashmir in 2013 and 2020, respectively. Using next-generation sequencing approach, we sequenced the 16,351 bp long mitogenome of two wild-caught Hangul individuals (1 M:1 F at ~14× and ~10× coverage, respectively) from Dachigam National Park.

Results

The annotated sequences were identical with an AT-rich composition, including 13 protein-coding genes (11,354 bp), 22 tRNA genes (1,515 bp), two ribosomal genes (2,526 bp) and a non-coding control region (917 bp) in a conserved order like other red deer species. Bayesian phylogenetic reconstruction of the red deer complex revealed two major groups: the elaphoid and the wapitoid clades. Hangul formed a distinct clade with its other subspecies C. hanglu yarkandensis and is sister to the Hungarian red deer (C. elaphus hippelaphus). Divergence time analyses suggested that the Tarim deer species group separated ~1.55 Mya from their common ancestors and Hangul diverged ~0.75 Mya from closely related C. yarkandensis, corroborating with the known paleobiogeographic events related to refugia during glaciations in the Pleistocene era. This study provides baseline information on Hangul mitogenome for further research on phylogeography and other population parameters and helps in developing suitable conservation plans for this species.

Authors: Arslan Hande , Özdemir Meltem , Kavak Rasime Pelin , Keseroğlu Kemal , Mutlu Murad , Korkmaz Mehmet Hakan
Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is a rapid loss of hearing, exceeding 30 dB in at least 3 consecutive frequencies within 3 days, without any identifiable cause despite thorough investigations. Currently, the etiology and pathogenesis of ISSHL have not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to assess the size of the cochlear nerve in patients with ISSHL and explore its relationship with pretreatment audiograms and treatment response.Subjects and Methods: A total of 125 patients (59 [47.2%] women; mean age 47.7±13.8 years [minimum-maximum: 21-76]) and 60 healthy participants (27 [45%] women; mean age 45.7±16.8 years [minimum-maximum: 20-76]) as a control group were included in this study. The size of the cochlear nerve was assessed on the affected side, compared to the control group, as well as on the unaffected side. Pretreatment and posttreatment audiological values were also analyzed.Results: The cross-sectional area (CSA), vertical diameter (VD), and horizontal diameter (HD) of the CN were found to be smaller on the affected side of ISSHL patients compared to the control group (p<0.01; p=0.04; p=0.02, respectively). In the study group (affected side of ISSHL patients), there were no significant differences in VD, HD, and CSA values between pretreatment audiogram types (p=0.23; p=0.53; p=0.39, respectively), and initial hearing levels (p=0.16; p=0.22; p=0.23, respectively). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in VD, HD, and CSA values between the recovery groups according to Furuhashi criteria (p=0.18; p=0.37; p=0.27, respectively).Conclusions: The size of the CN may be a risk factor for ISSHL, but it does not affect the type of audiogram curves and was not prognostic in terms of treatment response.
Sudden Hearing Loss and Vertigo With Silent Pontine Infarction: A Case Report
Authors: Jeong Jae Yeong , Byun Hayoung , Lee Seung Hwan , Chung Jae Ho
Published: October 2023

Most cases of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) occur without a specific identifiable cause, although vascular factors may serve as potential etiological contributors. Silent infarction refers to ischemic changes observed on imaging studies without accompanying clinical symptoms; however, this condition is clinically significant owing to the increased risk of future stroke. We report a case of left-sided SSNHL accompanied by dizziness in a 62-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with left pontine infarction without any other neurological symptoms. The cochlea and pons receive blood supply from the anterior inferior cerebellar artery; the cochlea lacks collateral vessels and is therefore susceptible to fluctuations in blood flow. This case report provides evidence to support the vascular hypothesis as the etiology underlying SSNHL

Authors: Park Bongil , Thak Pyung Kon , Park Euyhyun , Choi Soo Jeong , Lee Juhyun , Kwak Sooun , Jung Hak Hyun , Im Gi Jung
Published: October 2023

Background and Objectives: To analyze mapping changes in dynamic range (DR) and neural response threshold (NRT) as prognostic factors for cochlear implant (CI). To analyze whether postoperative speech perception performance could be predicted using DR change and initial NRT.Subjects and Methods: The speech comprehension data of 33 patients with CI were retrospectively analyzed after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months of device use. All subjects were adult, postlingually hearing-impaired, and Cochlear Nucleus CI users. Speech perception performance was evaluated using aided pure tone audiometry, consonant, vowel, one-word, two-word, and sentence tests.Results: The averages of initial NRT and DR changes were 197.8±25.9 CU (104–236) and 22.2±18.4 CU (-15–79), respectively. The initial DR was 40.8±16.6 CU. The postoperative DR was 50.3±16.4 CU at 3 months, 58±12.3 CU at 6 months, and 62.9±10.4 CU at 12 months. A gradual increase of DR was observed during the first year of CI. Compared with the initial DR, significant increases in DR were observed at 3 (p<0.05), 6 (p<0.001), and 12 (p<0.001) months. Compared with initial speech performance outcomes, a significant gain in all performance outcomes was achieved at 12 months (p<0.001).Conclusions: Patients with low NRT after CI surgery could initially set DR to a wider range and had better final speech perception outcomes. Conversely, patients with high NRT after CI surgery had to set up a gradual increase in DR while adjusting the T-C level, and the final speech perception outcomes were worse. DR and NRT, the main CI mapping variables, can help predict prognosis related to speech perception outcomes after CI surgery. In conclusion, the post-CI speech perception is better with a lower initial NRT, wider final DR, or younger age.

Published: October 2023

Men and women have the same chance to experience toxic relationship. However, there are not many data or cases that show men can become victims in toxic relationship. “Persona: Collector” is one of the movies that raises issue about toxic relationships from woman to man. Therefore, this research used a qualitative descriptive approach and uses Stuart Hall reception analysis method to know how audience interpreting the toxic relationship message in “Persona: Collector. The data being collected through observation and in-depth interviews with four informants aged between 20-30 years. They are men and women who had experience of toxic relationship, also man and woman who never being in toxic relationship.

            There are two major analysis about audience reception from the movie, such as form of obsession in relationship and foolishness because of obsessive love. Informant reception divided into three positions in the form of obsession in relationship, that is dominant hegemonic, negotiated, and oppositional. In the second concept, audience reception divided only in two positions, dominant hegemonic and negotiated. Their positions can be different because each informant have different background, such as experience itself and/or seen also heard other people stories about toxic relationship. The other factors come from their knowledge, beliefs, and gender.

Importance

Perineural invasion (PNI) is an adverse risk feature in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) that affects patient prognosis and disease management. However, research comparing different PNI patterns on patient outcomes is limited.

Objective

To compare 4 assessments of PNI in CSCC, their associations with poor outcomes, and implications for their inclusion in the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) staging system.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This retrospective cohort study was performed at a single tertiary care institution and compared 4 PNI assessments: nerve caliber, number of involved nerves per section, PNI maximal depth, and PNI location with respect to tumor. Patients with primary, localized, invasive CSCC with PNI diagnosed between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2017, were identified via an electronic in-house database. Available pathology slides were secondarily reviewed by study authors. Relevant patient and tumor characteristics and outcomes were abstracted from the medical record. Data analysis was performed between September 6 and October 20, 2022.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Risks of recurrence, disease-specific death, and a composite end point (any poor outcome) were calculated via multivariable stepwise Fine and Gray competing-risks regression. Considered revisions to the BWH staging system were assessed via receiver operating characteristic curves and test characteristics.

Results

This study included 140 patients with CSCC, with a mean (SD) age of 75.1 (11.2) years. More than half of the patients were men (93 [66.4%]), and most identified as White (132 [94.3%]). Of the 4 PNI assessments studied, only involvement of multiple nerves was associated with poor outcomes. Perineural invasion of 5 or more distinct nerves (extensive PNI [ePNI]) was independently associated with local recurrence (subhazard ratio [SHR], 13.83 [95% CI, 3.50-54.62]; P < .001), disease-specific death (SHR, 6.20 [95% CI, 1.59-24.21]; P = .009), and any poor outcome (SHR, 10.21 [95% CI, 2.88-36.15]; P < .001). A revised BWH staging system with substitution of ePNI for large-caliber PNI resulted in improved area under the curve and test characteristics compared with current BWH staging criteria that use nerve caliber as the measure of PNI.

Conclusions and Relevance

The findings of this cohort study suggest that ePNI is the best prognostic measure of PNI. Because ePNI obviated the need for a micrometer and had superior prognostic capacity to nerve caliber in this cohort, ePNI should be considered for inclusion in CSCC tumor staging. Inclusion of ePNI as a high-risk factor in CSCC staging systems may optimize patient selection for primary treatment and adjuvant interventions.

Hematogenous metastasis limits the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Here, we illuminated the roles of CD44 isoforms in this process. Isoforms 3 and 4 were predominantly expressed in CRC patients. CD44 isoform 4 indicated poor outcome and correlated with epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and decreased oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in patients; opposite associations were found for isoform 3. Pan‐CD44 knockdown (kd) independently impaired primary tumor formation and abrogated distant metastasis in CRC xenografts. The xenograft tumors mainly expressed the clinically relevant CD44 isoforms 3 and 4. Both isoforms were enhanced in the paranecrotic, hypoxic tumor regions but were generally absent in lung metastases. Upon CD44 kd, tumor angiogenesis was increased in the paranecrotic areas, accompanied by reduced hypoxia‐inducible factor‐1α and CEACAM5 but increased E‐cadherin expression. Mitochondrial genes and proteins were induced upon pan‐CD44 kd, as were OxPhos genes. Hypoxia increased VEGF release from tumor spheres, particularly upon CD44 kd. Genes affected upon CD44 kd in xenografts specifically overlapped concordantly with genes correlating with CD44 isoform 4 (but not isoform 3) in patients, validating the clinical relevance of the used model and highlighting the metastasis‐promoting role of CD44 isoform 4.
Inward and Outward Allomorph Selection
Authors: Rolle Nicholas
Published: October 2023

This entry provides an overview of directionality relations in allomorphy selection. One type is ‘inward conditioning’, where the trigger is in a structurally outer position compared to the target of allomorphy (i.e. it is further away from the lexical head of the construction). This type can also be referred to as ‘outward sensitivity’. Its counterpart is ‘outward conditioning’, where it is the trigger which is in an inner position and the target in an outer position (it can also be referred to as ‘inward sensitivity’). A number of typologically diverse cases are presented to illustrate directional asymmetries in allomorphy selection. One robust generalization involves ‘grammatically conditioned allomorphy’, in which the trigger is a morphosyntactic feature (e.g. [plural]), feature bundle (e.g. [3.sg.fem]), or category (e.g. [tense]). In this type of allomorphy, both inward conditioning and outward conditioning are widespread, showing a clear directional symmetry. In contrast, other types of allomorphy such as ‘lexically conditioned’ (the trigger is a particular lexical root), ‘morphologically conditioned’ (a purely morphological feature, e.g. conjugation class) and ‘phonologically conditioned allomorphy’ show a clear directional asymmetry. Here, allomorph selection almost always involves outward conditioning, in other words, the trigger is in an inner position. Cases of inward conditioning are rare and controversial. Taken all together, the propensity for triggers to be inward compared to targets is called the ‘directional asymmetry in allomorphy selection’.
Morphological Manifestations of Aspect in Slavic
Authors: Borik Olga
Published: October 2023

This entry is a survey on aspectual distinctions that are usually assumed to be morphologically encoded in Slavic languages. While it is true that morphology seems to bear an intimate connection with aspect, the precise nature of this connection is very difficult to formulate as a strict generalization without any exceptions (or even with a few well‐defined ones). In fact such a generalization is still absent after many decades of research dedicated to aspectual morphology, as this entry demonstrates. The existing attempts to capture the role of morphology in Slavic aspect suffer from empirical imprecision and resist a systematic explanation. In this entry, after a brief introduction in Section 1, the reader will be reminded of the main morphological processes that are usually considered to be aspectual in nature, that is, are taken to affect the aspectual value of the lexical verb they are attached to (Section 2). After that, the entry will discuss in more detail two main morphological processes that seem to influence directly the aspectual value of a verb: prefixation (Section 3.1) and suffixation (Section 3.2). Section 4 will reassess the fundamental question of whether morphology really reflects aspectual differences at a semantic level and discuss an alternative to the well‐established view that certain morphological processes directly encode aspectual distinctions. Section 5 concludes the entry.
