The Anxiety Threshold: Exploring the Relationship Between Discrete Emotions and Information-seeking Repertoires During a Societal Crisis
Authors: Sofia Johansson
Published: August 2024

Appraisal theory suggests that emotions with similar valence can lead to distinct information-seeking behaviors during crises, driven by unique cognitive appraisals. Previous research has predominantly concentrated on the role of affective states, focusing largely on how much time individuals spend seeking information about a threat. However, this approach overlooks the potential impact of specific emotions on source preferences. This study examines the link between particular emotions and the source combinations people use to gather information about COVID-19. It hypothesizes that anxiety is linked to broad repertoires including a wide variety of sources, while anger is associated with narrow repertoires including fewer sources. RQs address the relationship with sadness and happiness. Employing multinomial regressions on latent classes, the findings show that both anger and anxiety are positively associated with broader source repertoires, while low levels of anxiety are linked to narrower repertoires. Sadness and happiness appear to have limited significance in this context. The results suggest an “anxiety threshold,” indicating that both low and high levels of anxiety can pose challenges for crisis communication.

AIM OF THE STUDY: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate demographic characteristics of inmates in the Canton of Zurich (exposure), and investigate the changes in diseases and drug use between 2015 and 2020 (outcome).
METHODS: The study prospectively evaluated 51,989 inmates admitted to the Police Prison Zurich in Switzerland between 1 April 2015 and 31 August 2020 and who were systematically medically assessed. A total of 19,027 (37%) inmates had one or more health conditions, which the authors recorded according to the International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10), in addition to demographic data (country of origin, sex, age, year of imprisonment), as well as details of any drugs used (type and dosage).
RESULTS: The 19,027 inmates with medical conditions had a mean age of 35.4±12.5 years (range 10–89) and comprised 16,489 males (87%). The inmates originated from 170 countries, including 4606 from Switzerland (24.2%), 4227 from Eastern Europe (22%) and 3432 from the Middle East & North Africa (18%). A total of 1631 inmates (9%) were enrolled in the medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programme, and 672 patients (4%) received a psychiatric evaluation. The proportions of foreign prisoners did not increase during the study period. There was a significant increase in the use of antipsychotics from year 1 to 5 (y = 0.866x; R2 = 0.902; p = 0.01) and anticonvulsants from year 1 to 4 (y = 1.27x; R2 = 0.823; p = 0.01), and a significant decrease in the use of analgesics from year 2 to 5 (y = -4.42x; R2 = 0.947; p = 0.03) and antianxiety drugs from year 1 to 4 (y = -3.31x; R2 = 0.989; p = 0.005). Inmates from Switzerland were most likely to use antianxiety drugs, while inmates from the Middle East & North Africa were most likely to use antipsychotics (OR 2.09; CI 1.88–2.34) and anticonvulsants (OR 3.52; CI 2.90–4.29), whereas inmates from Latin and North America were most likely to use herbal medicine (OR 1.50; CI 1.05–2.10).
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study could help anticipate needs of prisons as well as improve treatment of disease and assist with substance use or abuse, particularly in the context of migration.

Prior Substantiation Doctrine: Why Post-Soviet (Russian) approach and US Policy Statement regarding Advertising Substantiation have similar external standards?
Authors: Khodjaev Bakhshillo Kamolovich
Published: August 2024

An advertisement provides the flow of commercial information from manufacturers to consumers and consequently effects on consumer choices regarding products. Therefore, each manufacturer tries to persuade consumers on certain product characteristics, but the persuasive information can become deceptive when manufacturer attempts to manipulate consumers. Since deception creates unfair advantages for its distributer and misleads consumers by affecting their purchasing decision, the government has to regulate misleading advertising by setting legal standards concerning deception. Deception standard was originated in the USA and has been implemented in other legal systems. The EU competition law developed the legal framework for misleading advertising under the influence of US antitrust law. Russia, on the other hand, attempted to implement the EU legal concept, but unfortunately it designed very a general and ambiguous legal framework for misleading advertising, or so-called improper advertising. Furthermore, the concept of improper advertising contains non-content regulation such as violation on times, place and manner of advertising in order to control excessive amounts of advertising. Here, the substantiation standard means that advertisers must prove their advertising claims with relevant documents or with appropriate, competent and reliable scientific evidence. Through this substantiation or prior substantiation standard, the enforcement authority wants to provide its administrative interest to keep control over advertising.

Financing Private Credit
Authors: Boyarchenko Nina , Elias Leonardo
Published: August 2024

Using data on balance sheets of both financial and nonfinancial sectors of the economy, we use a “demand system” approach to study how lender composition and willingness to provide credit affect the relationship between credit expansions and real activity. A key advantage of jointly modeling the demand for and supply of credit is the ability to evaluate equilibrium elasticities of credit quantities with respect to variables of interest. We document that the sectoral composition of lenders financing a credit expansion is a key determinant for subsequent real activity and crisis probability. We show that banks and nonbanks respond differentially to changes in macroeconomic conditions, with bank credit more sensitive to economic downturns. Our results thus suggest that secular changes in the structure of the financial sector will affect the dynamics of credit boom-bust cycles.

Wahlrechtsbonus für vergangene Verdienste?
Authors: Brade Alexander , Müller Max E.
Published: August 2024

In der „unangefochtenen Einsicht“, dass ein perfektes Wahlsystem nicht existiert, billigte das Bundesverfassungsgericht mit seinem Urteil vom 30. Juli 2024 das Herzstück der Wahlrechtsreform: die Zweitstimmendeckung. Wer die Entscheidung in Gänze liest, könnte gleichwohl den Eindruck gewinnen, das BVerfG schaffe mit der CSU als „seit Jahrzehnten staatstragend im Parlament befindlicher Partei“ ganz nebenbei ein neues Gut von Verfassungsrang. Erneut erreicht eine Wahlrechtsdiskussion in Deutschland damit ihren Endpunkt bei der CSU. Das wäre vermeidbar gewesen.

Authors: Helmin Rumbiak  , Budiman M Arif , Dewanto
Published: August 2024

This study focuses on the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) regarding the efficacy of the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in diagnosing and assessing musculoskeletal disorders. The methodology used involves collecting and analyzing data from various previously published studies. Strict inclusion criteria are applied to ensure the relevance and quality of the reviewed studies. Out of a total of 120 articles identified, 10 articles met the criteria and were included in the analysis. The results of the SLR show that MRI is a highly effective diagnostic tool, providing a detailed picture of bone structure, soft tissue, and cartilage without the need for radiation exposure. The study also found that MRI has high sensitivity and specificity in identifying various types of musculoskeletal disorders, including but not limited to arthritis, ligament injuries, and tendon ruptures. What's more, MRI supports early diagnosis which helps in designing a precise and personalized treatment plan, potentially reducing the patient's recovery time. From this analysis, we recommend a wider use of MRI in musculoskeletal clinical practice. However, more research is needed to optimize the protocol and reduce the associated costs, thereby expanding its accessibility across various medical settings.

In northwest Spain, several studies identify only one species, Carpobrotusedulis. However, in this work two species have been differentiated in the region and clearguidelines for their identification are provided.In addition, an exhaustive analysis is carried out on the expansion of these species overthe years in the area, offering detailed visual information on the advance of these invasiveplants. This analysis not only allows us to better understand the dynamics of the invasion, but also to develop more effective management and control strategies. The combination of precise identification and temporal monitoring of the distribution of Carpobrotus sp. in the northwest of Spain constitutes a crucial tool for the management of these invasive species and the protection of local biodiversity.
AT THE BORDER: ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF HERITAGE ASSETS FROM THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF ROMANIA (1969-1989)
Authors: BROASCĂ ANDREEA ,   University of Bucharest
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the practices and methods of some of the thousands of people who tried to flee Romania with art objects, especially after the introduction of the Heritage Law (Law No. 63/1974), which considerably limited the rights of citizens to possess goods of heritage value, including precious metals. The Nicolae Ceaușescu regime was interested in acquiring gold, in order to pay the loan guarantees for the external debts that the Romanian state had at that time. Therefore, numerous individuals or groups attempted to leave Romania through the western border with heritage assets hidden in their luggage or other methods that often were discovered by the Securitate, which prompted extremely harsh measures. It is no coincidence that the border of communist Romania has been declared by many historians “the bloodiest border in postwar Europe.” However, many heritage objects have disappeared without a trace, and confiscations were generally made without an inventory of the property taken. Using provenance research, the study also demonstrates the active role of the Securitate, documenting scattered elements of the collections and – ideally – bringing them together. Finally, the article presents several cases relevant to the phenomenon of illegal crossing of the border with objects of patrimonial value, and how the baggage control was performed by the Securitate, while also examining why the citizens risked losing their freedom in order to be able to pass these goods outside the Communist state.
Application of Tiny Machine Learning in Predicative Maintenance in Industries

The continued advancements in Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have led to their adoption in various domains including in industries for predictive maintenance among other applications. Given the resource constraints of IoT devices, they cannot process the resource-intensive ML algorithms hence data collected by the devices are first sent to the cloud where the algorithms are hosted for processing and inference with the results being sent back to the devices for action and/or notifications. The need to transmit data to the cloud for processing leads to increased costs, energy consumption, and high latencies affecting the implementation of the solution. Interestingly with Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML), it is possible to develop algorithms enabling edge inference on resource-constrained devices. From existing review papers, the researchers were not able to find, a comprehensive review with a focus on this area showing the need for a targeted review that can shed light on how TinyML can be tailored for predictive maintenance tasks in industries. This study therefore presents a systematic literature review of the application of TinyML in predictive maintenance in industrial settings. TinyML overview and its benefits are presented, a TinyML process flow is proposed and various use cases and their classifications have been presented. Through this exploration, the study shows the critical need for TinyML-driven solutions in predictive maintenance, identifies the existing challenges, and proposes a roadmap for future research.
Comparative study on the accuracy of SysmexUF5000 and UF1000i automatic urine sediment analyzer for urine specimen detection

Published: August 2024

Background: Urinalysis includes the physical examination of urine and the examination of formation scores, and the microscopic evaluation of the visible components in urine is a time-consuming process with high labor intensity and requires solid morphological expertise. Objective: To assess the Sysmex UF5000 automatic urine sediment analyzer’s diagnostic capability and contrast its accuracy with UF1000i urine samples. Methods: The precision, contamination rate, linear range, and reportable range of UF5000 were evaluated according to relevant regulations and verification methods provided by manufacturers. Urine samples were detected by UF5000 and UF1000 sediment analyzers, respectively. The accuracy of the false positive rate, false negative rate, sensitivity, and specificity of urine samples detected by the two instruments were compared using the results of centrifugal microscopy as the gold standard. Results: Red blood cells (RBC), White blood cells (WBC), and Epithelial cells (m) were detected by the Sysmex UF5000 urinary sediment analyzer. The intra-batch precision and inter-batch precision of EC), tubular type (CAST) and bacteria (BACT) were all within the required range. The contamination rate and linear range of RBC, WBC, and BACT met the requirements and could be reported widely. The false positive rate of UF5000 RBC was significantly lower than UF1000i, while the false positive rate of CAST was higher than UF1000i, the difference was statistically significant. In UF5000, the false negative rate of MALE WBC was significantly lower than that of females, and the difference was statistically significant. There was no difference in the specificity of white blood cells detected by the two instruments. When compared to UF1000i, UF5000 had much higher specificity for erythrocyte and tube types, and the sensitivity of three commonly used parameters of UF5000 was significantly higher than that of UF1000i, with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Compared with the UF1000i, the UF5000 showed similar or better diagnostic performance on most parameters.
Einstein e Pessoa
Authors: Krabbenhoft Kenneth
Published: August 2024

Resumo. Em Fernando Pessoa, o poeta e o pensador, reuniram-se o espírito não-conformista e a sede de perceber verdades universais, que o impulsionaram ao longo da sua vida a estudar as correntes mais novas do pensamento científico da sua época. O que lhe interessava não era tanto o progresso da ciência em si mas as consequências dos últimos achados científicos para a sociedade em que vivia, tanto na ética como na política, tanto na arte como nas relações íntimas dos indivíduos. No seu caso, o de um homem dedicado corpo e alma à criação poética, a ciência era uma fonte de revelações que, em conjunto com o seu génio particular, ajudavam-no a aprofundar a compreensão (ou pelo menos a confirmação) da sua própria arte, além de sugerir possibilidades e caminhos a serem explorados. Este ensaio examina uma faceta do tópico—a teoria restrita da relatividade—da heteronímia. Os textos que apoiam o argumento são de três tipos: 1. livros pertencentes à biblioteca particular do poeta, hoje conservada na Casa Fernando Pessoa em Lisboa; 2. o espólio literário do poeta, isto é manuscritos não publicados conservados na Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal; e 3. as obras publicadas de Fernando Pessoa, ortónimo e heterónimo.

Time in Ruy Belo's Poetry: Three Preliminary Aspects
Authors: Mendes Victor K.
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Taking as its point of departure the argument that Jorge de Sena failed productively in his attempt to overcome Fernando Pessoa, and that Ruy Belo—trying to emulate Pessoa but at the same time writing quite different poetry—emerges as Pessoa's worthy successor, this article proposes a brief analysis of three preliminary aspects of temporality as a contribution to a broader study of time in Ruy Belo's poetry: i, time as a condition of possibility; ii, the paradoxical time after death; and iii, the temporal sense of the poem's ending.
Post-Imperial Bacchus: The politics of literacy criticism in Camões studies 1940-2001
Authors: Alves Hélio J. S.
Published: August 2024

Abstract: A post-imperial approach to Camões cannot ignore the figure of Bacchus. As Camões’s very epic might suggest, Bacchus strongly tends to constitute a non-subject for both “imperial” and “liberal” critics. Given that context, one ought to denounce the politics of criticism apparently sustained by reliable philological practice and show how they silence or put aside a presence that, also through philology, cannot but dominate the meaning of Os Lusíadas.
Africa and the Epic Imagination of Camões
Authors: Blackmore Josiah
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article advances arguments about the metaphoric presence of Africa primarily in the ideology of Os Lusíadas (the episode of Adamastor) and secondarily in the chronicles of Gomes Eanes de Zurara. It proposes that Adamastor is a figure of Renaissance melancholy (in both somatic and prophetic terms) and, as such, represents a melding of interior and exterior forms of consciousness or knowledge. Africa and the Moor function in Camões as an index of the “strange,” a principle of Camonian epic in which the foreign and the alien are repeatedly inscribed into expansionist thought and therefore are an integral component to it. Zurara's chronicles establish Africa as a primordial space of imperialism and its attendant historiographic discourse under the sign of Saturn, planet of time and melancholics.
