Analysis of Poland’s energy security in comparison with the other European Union countries with the use of selected economic indicators of energy security
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Braun Jan
Published: July 2023

Purpose – The aim of the article is to analyze the level of Poland’s energy security in comparison with the other European Union countries. Research method – The study was based on an index analysis with the use of selected economic indicators of the level of energy security. Results – The highest level of energy security, taking into account selected indicators, occurs in countries such as Sweden, Finland, and Estonia, and the lowest in Malta, Belgium, and Luxembourg. As regards Poland, it is characterized by a high degree of import independence, which may indicate a high level of energy security. Poland has also a higher share of RES in final energy consumption than the EU average. However, when analyzing the energy intensity of the economy, it should be noted that Poland has one of the highest levels in this respect. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The literature on the subject is dominated by descriptions and characteristics of various methods of assessing the state of energy security of the country (including quantitative methods). At the same time, there is a noticeable lack of analysis of the level of energy security in Poland with the use of economic indicators. The research undertaken in the article thus deepens the analyses carried out so far and will be the basis for further considerations on the economic aspect of Poland’s energy security.
Pogranicze online–offline jako nowa czasoprzestrzeń funkcjonowania człowieka
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Jaśkiewicz Aleksandra
Published: July 2023

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the new space-time of human functioning, which is the borderline between the online and offline world. The dynamics of technological progress in the third decade of the 21st century have a constant influence on the functioning of the entire human civilization. The result is the emergence of new forms of social life that function in every country, regardless of its level of economic advancement, such as, for example, online life communities present in the space of thematic groups of social networking sites. The development of the Internet space as a tool for managing the functioning of oneself and others forced man to settle in time somewhere between the analog world known from the past and the digital field setting the track of the future. The new organization of everyday activities on the border of the online and offline world is a challenge faced by anyone who wants to take an active and creative part in managing what “happens” to them in the modern world. The line separating the online world from the offline world is becoming increasingly blurred. Finding arguments for accepting both as real is no longer a challenge for the world. Therefore, since the features of both these planes are not juxtaposed against each other on the basis of a clear contrast, the question remains how to characterize their meeting point? The borderline of the online–offline world is a well-known place on the one hand and a completely new one on the other. An attempt to define this concept aims to capture the essence of the new reality which we have come to face. In this text, an attempt is made to capture the essence of the space-time of the new online–offline borderland, which aims to reflect on the prospects of research around the topic to be undertaken in the future.
Odczytanie procesu adaptacji w sytuacji pandemii i postpandemii COVID-19 w rodzinie dziecka z autystycznego spektrum w świetle koncepcji resilience i resilience rodziny
Authors:   Szkoła Doktorska Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie, Borowska Agata
Published: July 2023

The article concerns the concept of resilience and family resilience in the process of building adaptation strategies in families with a child on the autism spectrum in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study contains an explanation of both categories and their reference to the process of building mental resilience and adaptive control in the everyday reality of families with a child with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). The essence of the article is also a reference to the dimensions of ego-resiliency and ego-control and their role in special education in the acquisition of family resilience competencies as a protective factor, enabling adaptation to the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic reality. The article cites the results of research on the impact of the pandemic on the reality of families with a child in the autistic spectrum and the individual determinants of family resilience and their impact on building an adaptation strategy. The article also addresses the issue of inclusion and its dual nature (noble vs. ignoble).

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Households’ Energy Consumption: The case of Poland
Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Czech Anna
Published: July 2023

Goal – the aim of the article is to investigate and assess the energy situation of Polish consumers aged 25–45 during the coronavirus pandemic. In particular we wish to find information concerning the response to the impact of a pandemic situation on consumer behavior in terms of energy consumption, possibilities and willingness to save energy and the ability to cover energy bills. Research methodology – the research was based on CAWI (Computer-Assisted Web Interview) methodology as a tool to assess the energy situation of respondents aged 25–45. Information on the surveyed population sample was obtained through the use of a research questionnaire filled with questions of mostly qualitative nature. Some of the questions were open-ended, which made it possible to delve into the actions and motivations taking place in households during the pandemic. The survey was conducted on a sample of 533 respondents, covering all of Poland. The study was conducted in the period October–November 2021. Score/results – the results of the study highlight the basic implications of respondents’ energy consumption in the consequence of the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Household energy consumption implications can be understood as temporary changes and some as long-term changes. Research results show various impacts on energy consumption in households, which were assessed in two areas: standard lifestyle and work at home. Originality/value – the analysis carried out in the paper allows assessing the relationship between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the scale of electricity consumption in households. Research results can provide energy saving recommendations for consumers. In addition, the study shows aspects of social trends in household energy consumption in times of crisis such as a pandemic.

Authors:   SGH Warsaw School of Economics, Dzienis Anna Maria
Published: July 2023

Goal – the paper aims to identify the main areas and motives for Japan–EU cooperation in the development of a hydrogen-based economy. Research methodology – text analysis of governmental documents, institutional reports, companies’ websites, and articles in the specialized press. Score/results – the example of several Japanese companies shows that Japan–EU cooperation has been intensifying, mostly in hydrogen-based mobility in Europe, natural gas transformation and supply in Japan, and renewable hydrogen generation in the EU and Japan. Japanese companies seek new markets and competition to advance and popularize their technologies. The ability to comply with the EU environmental regulations makes them a significant player in global efforts to accelerate GHG emissions reduction. Originality/value – the research on international cooperation in hydrogen is scarce but crucial. The development of a hydrogen-based economy will change both economic and geopolitical dynamics, which is especially important in the face of the economic consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Informal Cross-Border Trade in African Economic Communities – The Case of The Ecowas and the Waemu
Authors:   Cracow University of Economics, Garlińska-Bielawska Joanna
Published: July 2023

Goal – the paper aims to present research findings relating to the complexity of the phenomenon of cross-border trade in the functioning of the ECOWAS and the WAEMU with a particular focus on elements of informal cross-border trade within the communities concerned. Research methodology – empirical (indirect observation and description) and general methods, including deduction and induction, were used to achieve the aim of the study. Research techniques such as cause-and-effect, comparative, documentary, historical, and synthesis were of great importance. Score/results – the investigation primarily leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to perceive ICBT differently from the perspective of economic communities of less developed countries (ECOWAS, WAEMU) and from that of advanced economies, such as the European Union, placing significant emphasis on the formalisation of trade and penalising entities pursuing informal activities. From the point of view of maximising the benefits of trade within particular African economic communities and – in the near future – within Africa’s continental community (AfCFTA, AEC), it seems vital to develop a specific, African way of appropriately using the potential of ICBT, specifically with the aim of promoting social inclusion and reducing poverty in Africa. Originality/value – the subject of ICBT in African REC is not a new problem, but it is still a niche subject, particularly in the Polish literature. The work is done by the author independently without any help and assistance of others. The study relies on the examination of source documents, statistical data and the critical analysis of the literature.
"Disenchantment of the World". The Thesis of Max Weber's Concept of the Sociology of Law
Authors:   University of Bialystok, Leszczuk Sylwia
Published: July 2023

Goal – the purpose of this text is to present the assumptions that are characteristic for Max Weber’s concept of the sociology of law. They undeniably fit into the picture of his vision about the state of contemporary political, economic, legal and social reality, which he collectively described with the term he coined – “the disenchantment of the world”. Research methodology – conducted through an analysis of the literature on the subject and by compiling the results of the undertaken analysis. Score/results – Max Weber, conducting an analysis of his contemporary world, tracing the historical changes that led to its formation, and studying the impact of these changes on his spheres of interest, came to the conclusion that with the development of Western civilization, magical explanations of reality gradually gave way to more “down-to-earth” explanations. Ultimately, Weber referred to the process of turning to reason and logic as rationalization. Rationalization, in turn, led to a state of affairs that Weber referred to as the “disenchantment of the world”. It should be reiterated after Grosby that “if, in fact, Weber was correct that all magical forces have been driven out of modern life, then there would no longer be a need to constantly ask ourselves about the meaning and sense of human life; there would no longer be any number of ethical disputes and paradoxes with which we are confronted; we would no longer struggle with the doubts that wrap around all action. There would only be a calculation that would determine the most effective ways to problem-free solutions” [Grosby, 2013: 308]. And as is well known, including from autopsy, both individuals and society as a whole continue to ask themselves questions that reason cannot answer. Originality/value – presenting a theoretically observable phenomenon, the grasp of which, however, often escapes observers. The text makes the reader aware of the complexity of the processes that have shaped today’s dimension of law. The text aims to make the reader aware that the rationalization of the world has led to the rationalization of law, and, through convergence, the rationalization of law has led to the rationalization and disenchantment of the world.
The Use of Internet Technologies and Export Performance: The Moderating Role of International Experience
Authors:   Poznan University of Economics and Business, Trąpczyński Piotr , Barłożewski Krystian ,   Warsaw School of Economics
Published: July 2023

Goal – the objective of the present study is to examine the moderating effect that internationalisation has on the relationship between the use of Internet technology on export performance. Research methodology – the study uses data on 500 Polish manufacturing companies with grounded foreign activities for the period between 2017 and 2019. To test our hypotheses a fixed-effects regression analysis was employed. Score/results – the relationship between the implemented internet technologies and operational efficiency is visible only for highly internationalised companies, supporting the hypothesised moderating effect of the international experience. The implemented passive internet technologies may, contrary to expectations, even have a negative impact on the company’s efficiency. Originality/value – This study contributes to extant research by adopting a broader concept of export model, including the use of modern marketing and sales concepts, in addition to the previous understanding of market strategy used in export research.

Authors: Konishi Seigo , Kometani Mitsuhiro , Aiga Ko , Aono Daisuke , Nohara Takahiro , Ikeda Hiroko , Karashima Shigehiro , Takeda Yoshiyu , Yoneda Takashi
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the emergence of telemedicine on a global scale. In endocrinology, telemedicine has mainly been used in relation to chronic diseases, including diabetes. Herein, we report the case of an 18-year-old woman with a hypertensive emergency due to a pheochromocytoma who was quickly diagnosed and treated using telemedicine. The patient was referred to a cardiovascular hospital because of fatigue and sweating that did not improve with carvedilol. She had fluctuating blood pressure and tachycardia. Subsequently, since her thyroid function was normal, endocrine hypertension not due to thyroid dysfunction was suspected; a case consultation was made by phone to our clinic. Plain computed tomography (CT) was recommended owing to the high possibility of a pheochromocytoma; the CT scan showed an adrenal tumor with a 30 mm diameter. To assess her condition, endocrinologists, together with the attending doctor, interviewed her and her family directly using an online tool to obtain detailed information. We thus determined that she was at risk of a pheochromocytoma crisis. She was transferred to our hospital immediately for treatment, was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma, and underwent surgery. Telemedicine, especially involving doctor-to-patient with doctor consultations, can be effective in treating rare and emergent medical conditions such as pheochromocytoma crisis.

Learning points

Telemedicine can be used for chronic diseases and emergency conditions.

Online doctor-to-patient with doctor (D-to-P with D) consultations are useful when the expert opinion of a highly specialized physician present in a different geographical location is required.

Telemedicine, especially D-to-P with D online consultations, can be effectively used for the diagnosis of rare and emergent medical conditions, such as pheochromocytoma crisis.
Turkish Pre-service Teachers’ Understanding of Daily Life Phenomena Related to Chemistry and Compatibility with the Current Chemistry Curriculum
Authors: Aglarci Ozdemir Oya
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to determine Turkish pre-service science teachers’ levels of chemical explanations of various daily life phenomena and to investigate whether these examples are in accordance with the high school chemistry curriculum in Turkey. This study was carried out with descriptive research methods. The participants are 71 freshmen pre-service science teachers in a state university in Turkey. The data of the study were collected with the “Chemical Explanations of Daily Phenomena” Questionnaire previously developed in the literature. The phenomena in the questionnaire were related to chemistry concepts such as diffusion, temperature, combustion reactions and the law of conservation of mass, isotopes, reaction rate, redox reactions, and mixtures and solutions. The answers were analyzed in three categories: correct, wrong, and can’t determine and the frequencies and percentages of the categories were determined. Also, the learning outcomes in the latest version of the Turkish high school chemistry curriculum were examined in order to determine whether they were related to the chemistry concepts in the questionnaire. Document analysis was utilized to analyze the learning outcomes in the chemistry curriculum. The findings of the study revealed that most of the pre-service teachers answered correctly the questions that are compatible with the chemistry curriculum. Their misconceptions were mostly related to heat transfer and specific heat capacity, the law of conservation of mass, and heavy water and isotopes. The findings indicated that future curriculum changes should integrate some important chemistry concepts closely related to everyday life, such as radioactivity and heat transfer.
OLIMPIADA DE MÚNICH-1972 A MONTREAL-1976: UN IMPULSO DEFINITIVO EN EL BOXEO ESPAÑOL
Authors: Calle Molina María Teresa , Martínez Gorroño Mª Eugenia
Published: July 2023

Esta investigación historiográfica recupera las circunstancias del boxeo en el periodo de la XX Olimpiada. Se utilizaron fuentes documentales y orales. Las técnicas de investigación fueron el análisis documental y la entrevista semiestructurada para poder recuperar, contrastar y analizar la información obtenida desde archivos institucionales, hemerográficos y personales. En aquel periodo el boxeo fue un deporte falto de recursos materiales y económicos. A pesar de la inestabilidad en la presidencia de la Federación Española de Boxeo se creó La Liga Nacional del Boxeo Aficionado y el Torneo Internacional Boxam-1976, que han sido un referente hasta la actualidad. Además, se participó en el I Campeonato del Mundo de Boxeo Aficionado. Ello influyó en el boxeo olímpico, ya que los púgiles de la Selección Nacional preferían profesionalizarse para aumentar sus ingresos y, como consecuencia, el equipo sufría las bajas de los más veteranos. Así, aunque la selección tuvo una preparación extensa, no logró ninguna medalla en los Juegos de Montreal-1976.

Federalismo educativo y neoliberalismo en Argentina durante la gestión nacional de la Alianza Cambiemos (2016-2019)
Authors: Romualdo Vanesa
Published: July 2023

Este artículo analiza cómo mediante ideas rectoras propias del neoliberalismo la Alianza Cambiemos reconfiguró el federalismo educativo entre 2016 y 2019 en la Argentina. Mediante una metodología cualitativa que incluyó análisis documental y entrevistas semiestructuradas a técnicos y funcionarios públicos, este trabajo da cuenta, en primer lugar, de cómo la impronta de la libertad jurisdiccional, sustentada en un exceso de centralismo de la gestión nacional anterior, guió las modificaciones de los instrumentos de planificación de las políticas para la escuela secundaria obligatoria y, en segundo lugar, de la implementación de la rendición de cuentas de los fondos nacionales transferidos a las provincias, orientada por una presunta deuda de transparencia, que puso a la Nación en un lugar de “auditora”.
Utilization of pine needles as bed material in solid state fermentation for production of lactic acid by Lactobacillus strains
Authors: Ghosh Manoj K. , Ghosh Uttam K.
Published: July 2023

Pine needles, which are abundantly found as underexploited biomass in coniferous forests, are responsible for fire hazards and air pollution. Utilization of pine needles as bed material in lactic acid production with solid state fermentation (SSF) has been studied here. This investigation compared lactic acid production by pure strains of Lactobacilli, (1) L. delbrueckii(NCIM2025); (2) L. pentosus (NCIM 2912); (3) Lactobacillus sp.(NCIM 2734); (4) Lactobacillus sp. (NCIM2084); and a co-culture of the first two strains. The studies required 6 g per flask powdered dry pine needles as bed material, 2 g/L (inoculum), liquid production media based on pure glucose or whey substituted glucose, at 60, 80, and 120 g/L sugar levels, 37 oC, and an initial pH of 6.5. Co-culture attained a maximum lactic acid concentration of 45.10 g/L, followed by that of strain-1, 43.87 g/L and strain-4, 26.15 g/L, in 80 g/L pure glucose media. With 120g/L total sugar in whey-substituted media, the co-culture attained maximum lactic acid production of 44.88 g/L followed by that of strain-1, 43.67 g/L. The present experimental studies indicated better compatibility of pine needle bed with co-culture in solid state fermentation of lactic acid, which may prove to be an eco-friendly technology for utilization of biomass as well as minimizing fires in coniferous forests.
A new dual biocide concept for fine papermaking
Authors: Kiuru Jani , Sievänen Jenni , Tsitko Irina , Pajari Heikki , Tukiainen Pauliina
Published: July 2023

Electrochemical generation of oxidants was studied to find new solutions to control microbial contamination at paper mills. Laboratory and semi-pilot trials using a Wet End Simulator indicated that the combination of an electrochemically produced halogen-containing oxidant together with sodium percarbonate was an efficient new biocide concept, especially in fine papermaking. Addition of sodium percarbonate considerably reduced the need for halogen-containing biocides, thus lessening risk of corrosion. The trials with samples from fine paper machines indicated that the new concept required halogenated biocides to be dosed first, and the time delay between additions of biocide needed to be sufficient to ensure that no residual halogen was left when sodium percarbonate was added. Electrochemical generation enables on-site biocide production, which decreases transportation cost, risk associated with storage of hazardous chemicals, and biocide lost due to degradation. Thus, on-site generation of biocides together with potential reduction in amount of halogen containing oxidants make this dual concept economically attractive and environmentally positive.

El estudio analiza la asociación entre las conductas autodestructivas indirectas y la anomia social en una muestra de 509 escolares de cuarto de secundaria de instituciones educativas de Lima. Se empleó una ficha de datos, la escala de conductas autodestructivas de Kelley et al. (1985) adaptada al español por Ponce (2007) y la escala de anomia social de Li et al. (1999) validada por Vera et al (2013). Se halló asociación directa y significativa entre ambas variables en la muestra total (con y sin violencia familiar), con tamaño del efecto moderado. Cuando no existe violencia, el descontento se asocia con todas las dimensiones de las conductas autodestructivas, seguido de la desconfianza asociada con cuatro de ellas; en adolescentes con violencia, el descontento se asocia con falta de planeación, de anticipación y descuido de deberes y la desconfianza con descuido de deberes. Finalmente, de acuerdo con los resultados de la regresión logística, a nivel multivariado, la única dimensión de la anomia social que resulta estadísticamente significativa (p<.05) en la predicción de las conductas autodestructivas es descontento.
THE TURKIC “CUCKOO” IN OLONKHO: TRANSFORMATIONS AND RUDIMENTS
Authors: L’vova Sakhaya
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the image of cuckoo in the Yakut Olonkho in comparison with the materials of the Altai, Khakas, Shorian and Tuvan epics. In total, 58 Yakut epic texts, including early records of the Olonkho of the 19th — early 20th centuries were analyzed. It is established that while in Turkic folklore the semantics of the image of the cuckoo was ambivalent on the whole, the epic mostly reflects a favourable or neutral attitude to this bird. In positive connotations, the “cuckoo” is more represented as a harbinger of well-being and prosperity. It was also revealed that the comparison “cuckoo the size of a horse’s head” previously functioned in all five examined epics; the Altai, Khakas, Shorian and Tuvan epics represented the “golden cuckoo” and the Yakut Olonkho — the “sonorously talking cuckoo”. Hence, the Yakut epic Olonkho could separate from the general, pro-Turkic epic before the development of the “gold cult,” and the earliest variant of the image of the Turkic cuckoo was preserved in it. Five main stable formulas containing the image of the cuckoo have been found in the Yakut epic tradition. All of them have positive connotations: the cuckoo appears as a symbol of eternal summer and prosperity; as a symbol of fertility; as a soothsayer preventing misfortune. The structural variants under the general concept of “the cuckoo-udaganka” represent this bird as a translator between the world of people and the supreme protective deity of the Yakuts, Yuryung Aar Toyon, thus the image of the cuckoo is closely associated with the image of a white sounorous-voiced udaganka. Also distinguished is a group of semantically heterogeneous constructions of the later period (post-1932), most of them with negative connotations, influenced by shamanism, folk omens and beliefs. Thus, the key role in the formation of the Yakut version of the cuckoo image was played by the Udagan culture, and at a later stage certain transformations were introduced by shamanism.

Use of Blockchain Technology for Building a Hierarchical Structure on Most State Registries for the Purpose of Protection Against Forgery of Information
Authors:   G.E. Pukhov Institute for Modelling in Energy Engineering  National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Kondratenko M.S.
Published: July 2023

The work deals with the problem of ensuring the security of information storage in various registers, including state ones. First of all, we focused on security against attacks aimed at changing information in the registry, which is a constant and real threat today. The method proposed by us to prevent such attacks on changing information in the registry is based on the use of results from a relatively new direction in the field of information technology – blockchain technology. We propose building a so-called cascade structure of registers on blockchains using one of the newest consensus protocols called Proof-of-Proof. Such a cascade structure of registers, with the correct parameters of its construction and use, provides all the properties of correct information storage, such as non-failure, immutability, sequence of placement in the register, and others. After formulating the basic idea of building a cascade registry, we present a list of problems that need to be solved so that the probability of success of a substitution information attack is negligibly small.

Ensuring autonomy, maneuverability and organization of movement control along complex trajectories of a maneuverable multi-purpose autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle (AUUV) is a complex scientific research and engineering task, for the solution of which it is necessary to know the behavior of the vehicle in the environment and the influence of the environment on the dynamics of the vehicle. Plots of the distribution of speed, pressure and kinetic energy of turbulence during the complex movement of the AUUV were obtained, in accordance with the chosen trajectories. Simulation and numerical modeling of AUUV under complex motion was carried out. The obtained results were compared with the results of rectilinear movement. showed that the construction of the ABPA model is acceptable both for straight-line movement and for movement along complex trajectories. A comparative analysis of the obtained values of speed, pressure and kinetic energy of turbulence shows the ability of the developed model of the device to perform quick maneuvers in limited areas (turning around, avoiding obstacles, etc.). The selected and designed ABPA model is suitable for further research in order to develop an automatic control system for a maneuverable multi-purpose AUUV.

In the paper, the parameters of 115 types of existing wind turbines (WT) were analyzed and their power curves were modeled by using the Weibull cumulative distribution function (CDF). On the basis of these data, regression equations were obtained for the CDF parameters for the power curves of WT due to their main sizes: the nameplate capacity of the generator P and the rotor D. Based on the analysis of the obtained 115 WT CDF parameters and main sizes, the regression model of the WT average used power (AUP) in specific wind conditions has been built. The area of existence of possible values of main sizes P and D is defined. The presence of local maxima in the distribution of AUP by nameplate capacity at fixed values of the rotor diameters has been revealed. An analytical relationship was found between the optimal values of WT main sizes in different wind conditions. Certain restrictions were obtained for the maximum rotor diameter depending on the values of the nameplate capacity. The average starting wind speed of 3.37 m per s, at which the wind turbine starts working, has been determined theoretically.

OBJECTIVES

To provide recommendations for future common data element (CDE) development and collection that increases community partnership, harmonizes data interpretation, and continues to reduce barriers of mistrust between researchers and underserved communities.

METHODS

We conducted a cross-sectional qualitative and quantitative evaluation of mandatory CDE collection among Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Underserved Populations Return to School project teams with various priority populations and geographic locations in the United States to: (1) compare racial and ethnic representativeness of participants completing CDE questions relative to participants enrolled in project-level testing initiatives and (2) identify the amount of missing CDE data by CDE domain. Additionally, we conducted analyses stratified by aim-level variables characterizing CDE collection strategies.

RESULTS

There were 15 study aims reported across the 13 participating Return to School projects, of which 7 (47%) were structured so that CDEs were fully uncoupled from the testing initiative, 4 (27%) were fully coupled, and 4 (27%) were partially coupled. In 9 (60%) study aims, participant incentives were provided in the form of monetary compensation. Most project teams modified CDE questions (8/13; 62%) to fit their population. Across all 13 projects, there was minimal variation in the racial and ethnic distribution of CDE survey participants from those who participated in testing; however, fully uncoupling CDE questions from testing increased the proportion of Black and Hispanic individuals participating in both initiatives.

CONCLUSIONS

Collaboration with underrepresented populations from the early study design process may improve interest and participation in CDE collection efforts.

Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Existing risk scores often focus on primary cardiovascular event prediction among mostly North American and European populations with predictors derived from baseline before and up to index events. Methods: We aim to build machine learning algorithms to model recurrent cardiovascular events among Asian post-MI patients via a retrospective observational cohort study. The study uses multicentre, real-world electronic health records from the Singapore Cardiovascular Longitudinal Outcomes Database (SingCLOUD), integrating nationwide clinical, administrative, laboratory, procedural and medication data from five public hospitals and 18 public outpatient clinics. Data from 4,575 patients admitted between 2011 and 2014 with MI as a primary diagnosis were included in the analysis. Their major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) risk was modelled using a static approach with baseline and index event information and a dynamic approach which incorporates additional post-discharge data including medication adherence. Results: The static model achieved an area under the receiver operator curve (AUROC) of 0.77 (95% CI [0.72–0.82]) when predicting 1-year MACE risk and 0.80 (95% CI [0.76–0.85]) predicting 2-year MACE risk on a hold-out dataset (n=515); the dynamic model achieved a mean AUROC of 0.75 (95% CI [0.72–0.78]) in estimating 1-year MACE risk from 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-index. Conclusion: We developed a focused risk model for an Asian population, incorporating post-MI time-variable information via the causal approach. The causal framework enables differentiation of immediate risk components from long-term disease progression, including disease management. The model outperforms existing benchmark risk scores and can be applied to simulate personalised disease trajectory and to inform treatment options.

Retos laborales en el bicentenario de la independencia costarricense
Authors: Briones Eric Briones
Published: July 2023

El  presente ensayo, recoge el análisis jurídico en torno a algunos retos que considera el autor, son los más relevantes dentro del ámbito laboral a nivel nacional, de cara al bicentenario que celebra el país, desde su independencia; en él se analiza un aparte histórico jurídico y algunos institutos del derecho laboral (nuevas figuras contractuales, adaptabilidad de las jornadas, un paradigma distinto del cuerpo inspectivo, etc), que deben ser remozados, actualizados o incluidos, dentro de una norma general, tanto sector público como privado, que venga a unificar, la normativa dispersa, la cual en muchos casos, ni siquiera se sabe de su existencia, debido a la falta de sistematización en un solo cuerpo, dentro del principio de seguridad jurídica. 

Sirva el presente para constituirse en un primer escenario de partida, para lo que posteriormente, deba repensarse como nación.
Pluralismo constitucional y los principios como metacriterios constitucionales
Authors: Solano Solano Eduardo
Published: July 2023

La interacción entre los tribunales internacionales sobre derechos humanos y los Tribunales Constitucionales de cada Estado ha generado nuevas vertientes de interpretación del derecho constitucional. En este escenario, nace la visión de un pluralismo constitucional que busca englobar la forma de la nueva interacción de la jurisprudencia de ambos órganos, pero en vez de hacerlo de una forma jerárquica, surge un modelo en red en el cual ambas instancias de alimentan y complementan mutuamente.

The effort to uncover herpetofauna within the zone of influence of the Sierra del Divisor National Park has been focused on the northern reaches. The Abujao basin represents the Sierra del Divisor region well in an understudied area central to the Peruvian Amazon. We found 108 species of amphibians and squamate reptiles. Seven records extend ranges from the northern regions, while two records unite with southern regions (Madre De Dios and the Fitzcarrald Arc/Purus valley). There are higher levels of diversity attributable to land-cover units indicative of high terraces and hilly zones, as opposed to low hydromorphic habitats. Our new record for Pristimantis iiap Padial, Gagliardi-Urrutia, Chaparro & Gutiérrez, 2016 brings more resolution to this newly described species. We made observations of an unidentified species of blindsnake, which could represent a unique part of the fauna. Despite variations, we only uphold the presence of various subspecies of Micrurus annellatus Peters, 1871.

Meloidogyne enterolobii Yang & Eisenback, 1983 is amongst the most aggressive root-knot nematodes, causing significant annual losses worldwide to many crops and emerging in many countries recently. Although plants belonging to the citrus family such as grapefruit and citrus have been reported as non-hosts or poor hosts for M. enterolobii, our study recorded the heavy infection of a root-knot nematode that resembles M. enterolobii on pomelo, a species in the citrus family. The molecular data of D2-D3 of 28S rRNA region, morphometrics, and morphological features of second-stage juveniles, males, and females in the present study have confirmed that the root-knot nematode recovered from pomelo in Vietnam belongs to M. enterolobii. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of M. enterolobii infecting pomelo, providing new insight into the host status of this important pest.
The Application of Fiqh Principles in Contemporary Sharia Transactions in The Development of Innovative Products of Islamic Financial Institutions in Indonesia
Authors: ‘Ilmi Zujajatul
Published: July 2023

The innovation product in Islamic financial institutions is one of the strategies that has an important role in the midst of a competitive market. Increasing institutional capacity and the availability of diverse and efficient Islamic financial industry products is one of the missions in optimizing the development of Islamic finance. The program to increase the availability and diversity of Islamic financial types available in various products, in Islamic banking institutions and non-Islamic bank financial institutions, including the Islamic capital market, shows that the market share of Islamic financial industry products is still limited when compared to conventional financial products. In Indonesia, all stakeholders of the Islamic financial industry must always synergize and harmonize between sharia economic law and applicable laws and regulations. The Qur'an, Al-Hadith and Ijma' gave birth to the rules of fiqh. The rules of fiqh aim to establish Islamic law in various issues that are new and continue to develop along with the times, especially developments in sharia financial institutions in various kinds of economic transactions or muamalah maliyah. The rules of fiqh are a form of ijtihad. The rule of fiqh is an ease of knowing contemporary laws, especially various kinds of economic problems that do not have much nash sharih (definite postulates) in the Qur'an and al-Hadith. In economic problems that develop in Islamic financial institutions, the rules of fiqh are used to facilitate mastering the problems of furu'iyyah (branches) which are many (countless) and continue to grow
