La pandemia COVID-19 nos puso a todos a prueba como sociedad, ya que se incrementaron las desigualdades y, al mismo tiempo, adquirieron mayor visibilidad la exclusión, la pobreza y la marginalidad, poniendo en entredicho el cumplimiento de los derechos humanos. En este tomo, el lector encontrará un análisis de los impactos que ha provocado la pandemia en algunos de los más importantes derechos de las personas, partiendo del resurgimiento de la solidaridad y la cohesión social, pasando por los estándares interamericanos para que los Estados tengan claridad en sus obligaciones internacionales, y desarrollando derechos de particular preocupación como los relacionados con la salud, incluyendo el acceso a las vacunas, la educación, el trabajo y la seguridad social, y la no violencia familiar. Además, se abordan dos supuestos de personas en condiciones de vulnerabilidad, como la niñez y las personas migrantes; asimismo, se analiza la restricción y suspensión de los derechos humanos que pudo haber tenido lugar en nuestro país. Finalizamos con algunas propuestas de políticas públicas que buscan ser una guía para que las acciones del gobierno aumenten la protección de los derechos humanos en tiempos como los que seguimos viviendo en esta pandemia COVID-19.
Proses Pengembangan Pariwisata Di Kota Surabaya Antara Pemerintah Dan Non Pemerintah Dalam Perspektif Tata Kelola Kolaboratif
Authors: Priambodo Bayu
Published: June 2023

Industri pariwisata paling terdampak di era pandemi. Hingga saat ini, perkembangan industri pariwisata khususnya di kota-kota besar hanya terfokus pada pelaku sektor publik dan swasta. sedangkan di kota-kota besar terdapat dua kelompok masyarakat yaitu masyarakat lokal dan masyarakat perkotaan. Kelompok masyarakat ini tidak pernah berpartisipasi dalam proses pengembangan pariwisata. Kota Surabaya merupakan kota terbesar kedua di Indonesia, dimana perkembangan industri pariwisatanya cukup masif. Dari permasalahan tersebut, peneliti ingin melihat bagaimana proses proses pengembangan pariwisata kota Surabaya berjalan. Metode kualitatif digunakan dalam metode penelitian ini, dan teknik pengempulan data dengan wawancara mendalam. Teori tata Kelola kolabotaif Ansell dan Gash digunakan dalam analisis data penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerjasama kota Surabaya tidak sinkron dengan pemain lain. Hal ini terlihat dari pemerintah sendiri yang memiliki dua lembaga promosi pariwisata, namun kedua lembaga ini tetap beroperasi secara mandiri. Bahkan masyarakat sendiri tidak terlibat dalam proses pengembangan pariwisata, hal ini terlihat dari masyarakat yang tidak mengetahui kapan pembangunan pariwisata berlangsung di tempat tinggalnya. Pada gilirannya, individu swasta yang bertindak sebagai pengembang dalam proses pembangunan tidak menggunakan masyarakat lokal sebagai karyawan. Terlihat jelas bahwa tata kelola koperasi di Surabaya belum berjalan efektif.
Right to Read Implies Opportunity to Read
Authors: Cummins Jim
Published: June 2023

This paper extends discussion of the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) (2022a, 2022b) report entitled Right to Read, which recommended significant changes to both reading instruction and special education programs aimed at providing equitable opportunities for all children to develop strong reading skills. In a critique of the OHRC report (Cummins, 2022), I endorsed the report’s call for the establishment of an identification and intervention infrastructure to support students who are struggling to develop reading skills. However, I also critiqued the report’s misrepresentation of the strong reading achievements of Ontario students and the scapegoating of “balanced literacy.” Klein (2022) disputed this characterization of the OHRC report, highlighting the important contributions of the report to special education policies. In continuing this dialogue, I argue that the OHRC report has omitted consideration of significant dimensions of literacy acquisition and development that are directly relevant to preventing reading difficulties among Ontario children. Specifically, I argue that beyond the systematic teaching of phonics and other foundational literacy skills, which the OHRC report emphasizes almost exclusively, literacy policies should ensure that all children experience extensive opportunities for literacy socialization, which must involve active engagement with print, in both the preschool and early elementary years.

Published: June 2023

Currently, Islamic religious education (PAI) is experiencing various obstacles due to various factors and is considered unable to achieve the expected goals of PAI itself, so that many criticisms are directed at PAI, this study aims to reveal what is criticized from PAI itself, and what steps should be taken to improve existing constraints, using a qualitative approach and literature study methods the researcher collects from various reliable sources about the problems that occur concerning PAI, the results of this study indicate that the spotlight and criticism of PAI include several aspects, namely: PAI learning process is less than optimal, incompetent educators, students who are not pro-active, monotonous learning methods, less varied learning media, and incomplete learning evaluations. These aspects cannot be carried out optimally so that PAI experiences obstacles and setbacks, therefore the improvement and strengthening of these aspects need to be studied to solve problems that occur in PAI.
Gender Discourses within Pesantren in Cirebon: Understanding the Typologies of Kyais’ Interpretations of the Concept of Qawwām
Authors: Nuroniyah Wardah
Published: June 2023

The gender discourse within pesantren is a significant scientific subject due to its reliance on classical fiqh literature that often maintains patriarchal ideology. One such issue is the interpretation of the concept of “qawwām”, a fragment of the Qur’anic verse (An-Nisā’: 34), meaning supporter or protector, in which the kyai (the spiritual leaders of pesantren) predominantly associates the role with men and their responsibilities. This understanding is influenced by the traditional (salaf) paradigm and results in a patriarchal interpretation. This study applies descriptive qualitative analysis to answer how pesantren leaders interpret the concept of “qawwām” in relation to gender ideology. Data was conducted through interviews with kyais in Cirebon and observations of their family life. The article analyses their understanding of “qawwām” based on the trichotomy of gender understanding: extreme patriarchy, moderate patriarchy, and liberal. The article argues that differences in the kyais’ viewpoints regarding the distribution of roles within the family can be traced back to their textual, eclectic, and contextual comprehension of religious teachings. The study recommends that an intricate understanding of religious teachings, taking into account the evolving social context and the diverse range of interpretations, may pave the way for a more balanced and egalitarian allocation of responsibilities between spouses in the family.Keywords: Kyai; pesantren, qawwām, gender ideology, Cirebon

The COVID-19 pandemic which has been running for two years has resulted in changes in work patterns for employees, both private and public. Due to consideration of preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, government agencies and private offices are imposing WFH (work from home). As a result, for working couples, the household arena becomes a joint work arena, in which formal and domestic work is carried out. This study aims to discuss the division of labor between husband and wife in the household before the pandemic; the division of labor during the pandemic, and the impact of the division of labor during WFH on the division of labor after the pandemic. The study used qualitative methods and field studies were analyzed using gender theory. Data collection is done by way of interviews, observation and documentation. This research found that there were three trends in relationship changes that were prior to the COVID pandemic, the division of labor was carried out based on the habits that had been built by the couple since they were married, namely families who had a commitment to work together since the beginning of the marriage, so with the pandemic this commitment made it stronger, but for families who do not have a commitment to gender relations, the work arena formed by the pandemic does not really affect gender relations. This finding reinforces the perspective that gender relations are socio-cultural formations so they are not easy to change
Socio-Sufistic Trends of Marriage in Creating Harmony in the Postmodern Society of Kampung Arab, Madura: A Perspective on the Theory of Utilitarianism
Authors: Abitolkha Amir Maliki , Dodi Limas
Published: June 2023

Divorce in families is caused by conflict, while conflict is caused by the fallacy of the postmodern society's perspective that believes that the logic of science by ignoring God's function as a supernatural force. This study aims to reaffirm that Sufism is a value as well as a discipline that can create harmony in postmodern society. The research method used is qualitative-phenomenological, analyzed using the theory of utilitarianism. Data collection techniques through interviews, observations and documentation. The findings of this study are that 1) sufism is internalized to society as a basis of value. Marriage is a sacred and accountable covenant with the Lord. Marriage is seen as a means of achieving God's pleasure, not merely a relationship between man and man; 2) the rule of law is the process of achieving a goal, not a final rule that cannot be contextualized in a postmodern context. The rights and obligations of husbands and wives can be adjusted to the sufistic attitudes of postmodern society that has a high work ethic, is optimistic and pro-active in making a family living. As a process, the rule of law is subjective and the existence of other processes with the same purpose becomes common. 3) the law aims at creating happiness whose ultimate goal is harmony. Then the process on any basis, culture, character, customary law, if it can bring happiness is socially valid.Keywords: Sufism, marriage law, postmodern, utilitarianism theory
Study of Factors and Relationships Shaping the Inclusion Prospects for LGBT Society: A Perspective Across Middle-Sized IT Enterprises in National Capital Region
Authors: Tandon Lochan Sharma , Agarwal Dr. Priyanka , P. Joshi Dr. Bhavesh
Published: June 2023

LGBT society and their employee rights and call for inclusion and embedment across the organizational ecosystem marks a revolutionary change in organizational working in IT companies in India. The need to explore the theoretical basis for the relationship between the organization and workplace-driven attributes and the respective generalization of the 'diversity management and inclusive culture' construct is rampant. There is a growing realization that inclusive, integrative, and embedded LGBT personals often lead to wholesome and seamless business performance irrespective of sexual orientation and gender complexities. This study investigates the elements and linkages that impact LGBT societal inclusion chances inside middle-sized IT firms in the National Capital Region. Organizations are becoming more conscious of the significance of fostering an inclusive workplace for all workers, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). This study investigates the numerous elements that contribute to or impede LGBT inclusion, the links between these factors, and the overall prospects for LGBT persons in middle-sized IT firms. The research was conducted for seven to eight months across the chosen unit of analysis in a defined and phased manner. The research above was conducted across the time ranging from May 2021 to February 2022 across the 438 mid-career employees in permanent charge across IT organizations in North Indian perspective. The industrial locations were selected to offer coverage to the aspects that essentially determine and shape the decision-making across the industrial cities of NCR. The research observed the significant impact of identity-conscious programs, 'identity-blind programs,' 'age inclusiveness,' 'awareness,' and 'internal communications' on 'workplace diversity' and 'workplace inclusion' across the LGBT society.
Creation and Initial Validation of the Mayo Outpatient Precepting Evaluation Tool
Authors: Paulson Deirdre , Hidaka Brandon , Nordin Terri
Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: Preceptors in family medicine residencies need feedback to improve. When we found no validated, behavior-based tool to assess the outpatient precepting of family medicine residents, we sought to fill this gap by developing and initially validating the Mayo Outpatient Precepting Evaluation Tool (MOPET).
Methods: To develop the MOPET, we applied the Stanford Faculty Development Program (SFDP) theoretical framework for education, more recent work on peer review of medical teaching, and expert review of items. The residency behavioral scientist and a volunteer physician independently completed the MOPET while co-observing a precepting physician during continuity clinic sessions (N=20). We assessed the tool’s validity via interrater reliability and cross-validation with the SFDP-26.
Results: The tool demonstrated high interrater reliability for the following effective teaching behaviors: (a) allowing the resident to present without interrupting, (b) encouraging the formulation of a goal, (c) checking in on the resident’s goal, (d) using multimodal teaching aids, (e) asking to discuss the differential diagnosis, (f) asking to discuss alternative management, (g) encouraging the resident to pursue literature and/or other resources, and (h) reinforcing self-directed learning. The MOPET measures strongly correlated with most items from the SFDP-26, indicating good cross-validity.
Conclusions: The MOPET is a theoretically sound, behavior-based, reliable, and initially validated tool for peer review of outpatient family medicine resident teaching. This tool can support faculty development in outpatient clinical learning environments.
New Tools for Resident Recruiting Season: A CERA Survey of Family Medicine Residency Program Directors
Authors: Snellings John E. , Moore Miranda A. , Meyer Daniel L
Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: As the family medicine community continues to adapt to interview season changes secondary to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, discussions are underway regarding new options to improve the overall success and satisfaction of resident recruiting. Tools such as preference signaling, interview capping, and supplementary applications are options that have been investigated, and in some cases implemented, by other specialties for their recruiting seasons. Family medicine as a specialty is now actively scrutinizing the benefits and drawbacks of these tools.
Conclusions: Because the survey results indicated a high level of support for using these innovative new tools during recruitment season, family medicine should take action to implement these programs/policies.
Results: Two-thirds of the 262 program director respondents (42% response rate, n=184) supported policies for preference signaling and a national interview cap; however, support was mixed for the use of supplemental applications.
Methods: The fall 2021 CERA program directors’ omnibus online cross-sectional survey invited family medicine program directors to provide their perceptions of these tools. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted.
Scholarship Criteria for Promotion in the Age of Diverse Faculty Roles and Digital Media
Authors: Helton Margaret R. , Pathman Donald E.
Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: In academic medical centers, scholarship is essential to advancing scientific knowledge, clinical care, and teaching and is a requirement for faculty promotion. Traditional evidence of scholarship, such as publications in peer-reviewed academic journals, remains applicable to the promotions of physician and nonphysician researchers. Often, however, the same evidence does not fit the scholarly work and output of clinician-educators, whose scholarship is often disseminated through digital communications and social media. This difference challenges promotion and tenure committees to evaluate the scholarship of all faculty fairly and consistently. This study aimed to generate a list of the features that a faculty product should demonstrate to be considered scholarship, regardless of how it is disseminated.
Methods: The full professors of one academic department of family medicine engaged in a mini-Delphi deliberative process to identify criteria to assess whether a scholarly product put forth by faculty in the promotion process is indeed scholarship.
Results: The full professors identified seven criteria to evaluate a faculty product to assess whether it represents scholarship—specifically its demonstration of faculty expertise, faculty contribution, originality, peer review, quality, relative permanence, and impact.
Conclusions: These criteria may help promotion committees more easily and consistently assess the full scope of a faculty member’s scholarly work within today’s changing approaches to its dissemination.
Efforts to Recruit Diverse Resident Complements in Family Medicine
Authors: Hogan Sean O. , Sangha Sonia , Mason Bonnie S.
Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: Family medicine is the most demographically diverse specialty in medicine today. Specialty associations and the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) urge residency programs to engage in systematic efforts to recruit diverse resident complements. Using responses from program directors to the ACGME’s mandatory annual update, we enumerate the efforts in resident recruiting. This allows us to compare these statements to the recommendations of two highly respected commissions: the Sullivan Commission on Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce and the Institute of Medicine’s In the Nation’s Compelling Interest: Ensuring Diversity of the Healthcare Workforce.
Methods: We compiled the annual updates from 689 family medicine programs and analyzed them using a qualitative method called template analysis. We then classified the efforts and compared them to the recommendations of the Sullivan Commission and Institute of Medicine (IOM).
Results: Nearly all (98%) of the programs completed the portion of the annual update inquiring about recruiting residents. The Sullivan Commission and IOM recommended 23 steps to diversify workforce recruiting. We found that programs engaged in all but one of these recommendations. Among the most frequently employed recommendations were doing holistic reviews and using data for planning. None mentioned engaging in public awareness campaigns. Programs also implemented eight strategies not suggested in either report, with staff training in nondiscrimination policies being among the most frequently mentioned. Among program efforts not included in the Sullivan Commission or IOM recommendations were extracurricular activities; appointing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) committees or advocates; subinternship (Sub-I) experiences; recruiting at conferences; blind reviews; legal compliance; and merit criteria. In total, we found 31 interventions in use.
Conclusions: The Sullivan Commission’s guidance, IOM recommendations, and program-developed initiatives can be combined to create a comprehensive roster of diversity recruiting initiatives. Programs may use this authoritative resource for identifying their next steps in advancing their recruiting efforts.
Longitudinal Study of Family Medicine Residents’ Clinical Teaching After Participation in the Residents-as-Teachers Program
Authors: Babenko Oksana , Au Lillian , Koppula Sudha , Szafran Olga
Published: June 2023

Background and Objective: Residents-as-teachers (RAT) programs provide opportunities for residents to gain teaching skills. Published studies have assessed RAT programs largely at a single point in time rather than longitudinally. To address this gap, we examined (a) longitudinal trends in RAT participants’ interest, comfort, confidence, skill, and familiarity with aspects of clinical teaching; and (b) subsequent involvement in clinical teaching.
Methods: We conducted a longitudinal survey of one cohort of family medicine residents (N=56) who participated in the RAT program during residency. We collected data before and after the RAT program and at one and three years into practice (2016-2020). We measured outcomes including interest, comfort, confidence, skill, familiarity with aspects of clinical teaching and involvement in clinical teaching. We performed longitudinal analysis using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results: Response rates at four data collections were 63% (n=35), 66% (n=37), 55% (n=31), and 34% (n=19), respectively. We observed consistent trends in interest, comfort, confidence, skill, and familiarity with aspects of clinical teaching; mean scores increased from before to after the RAT program and subsequently decreased in the early years in practice. At 1 and 3 years in practice, 71% and 74% of respondents, respectively, reported being involved in teaching, primarily teaching medical students.
Conclusions: The RAT program appears to be a positive contributing influence on family medicine graduates’ perceived preparedness to teach and their involvement in teaching after graduation from residency. A relatively high proportion of residents are involved in teaching in the early years in practice.

Published: June 2023

Background and Objectives: Integrated behavioral health (BH) is becoming a preferred model of care for primary care because it improves patient outcomes and satisfaction. Little is known about whether residency practices are consistently modeling this preferred care model relative to real-world nonresidency practices. The study compared levels of BH integration, patient health outcomes, and satisfaction with care between residency practices and nonresidency practices with colocated BH providers.
Methods: Baseline data were collected in 2018-2019 from 44 practices and their adult patients with chronic conditions participating in a cluster-randomized, pragmatic trial to improve BH integration. The sample included 18 (40.9%) residency and 26 (59.1%) nonresidency practices, with 1,817 (45.3%) patients from residency practices and 2,190 (54.7%) patients from nonresidency practices. Outcomes including BH integration levels (the Practice Integration Profile), patient health outcomes (the PROMIS-29), and patient satisfaction with care (the Consultation and Relational Empathy scale) were compared between residency and nonresidency practices using multivariate regression analyses.
Results: No differences were found between BH integration levels, patient health outcomes, and patient satisfaction with care between residency and nonresidency practices. In a sample of primary care practices with colocated BH providers, residencies had BH integration and patient outcomes similar to real-world practices.
Conclusions: Primary care practices with residency programs reported comparable levels of BH integration, patient health outcomes, and patient satisfaction compared to practices without residency programs. Both types of practices require interventions and resources to help them overcome challenges associated with dissemination of high levels of BH integration.
The sea as a site of curation: Reflections on aesthetics education
Authors: John Baldacchino
Published: June 2023

With the sea as a “site” of curation, a thalassic approach (as that which belongs to the sea), facilitates a showing of those things that converge upon the contingency of daily living. The case for aesthetics is pedagogical, inasmuch as it provides us with a strategy for exiting into the wider world as we move outside the walls of a building (and that of Bildung). Exiting also implies rejecting all those institutionalized constraints that education’s edificial approach brings to learning. Here, in its aporetic nature, art is one of those few human actions which allow us to articulate and enact a sense of being both strangers and homecomers in our own world. In other words, this is a form of curation that is claimed through the autonomy that it portends.
Designing Agency
Authors: Johanna Drucker
Published: June 2023

As AI systems proliferate, questions about their emergent capacities focus on intelligence, sentience, and control. But the issue of agency, the capacity for action with consequences, brings other design issues into play. Agency takes many forms including mechanical, incidental, probabilistic, and intentional, but is largely assessed on the basis of behaviors. The challenge of designing agency can be met by considering what must be programmed into a system to provide it with the capacity for action, but the distinction between the appearance of agency (simulacral) and actual agency (intentional) is difficult to test. This paper discusses some of the connections between agency and debates in physics about determinism and probability as they relate to the question of human capacities for intentional action and concludes with a discussion of the difficulties of conceptualizing agency without falling into Romantic models of disruptive behavior. No easy answers arise in regard to the problem of designing intentional agency in a way that can be either tested or constrained.
Contemporary Research
Authors: Michael Schwab
Published: June 2023

Artistic research is a comparatively recent development. Outside institutional definitions little work has been carried out to situate the phenomenon in a wider history of art as well as knowledge. This speculative article describes the present moment of artistic research as result of two developments: (1) a shift from notions of knowledge to notions of research, and (2), a shift from major to minor forms of making. At the same time, in line with understandings of contemporary art and as contemporary art, artistic research is not understood as historical project that unifies art and science; rather, artistic research is pitched as providing a transdisciplinary ground in which different disciplines and knowledges can enrich each other. On a historical scale, this development is seen as driven by the increased speed and complexity of our current world for which conventional knowledges offers only partial insights arriving often too late for decision-making. Building on Hans-Jörg Rheinberger’s concept of experimental systems and his notion of graphematic space, the paper suggests research to create sets of traces as proto-forms underdetermined in their aesthetic and epistemic status and, hence, beyond specific disciplinary contexts. Such space for research is understood as fundamentally artistic, also in opposition to notions of research as output-oriented types of investment. It is suggested that representation as epistemic form has been losing relevance, certainly for the arts and increasingly for the sciences. Artists are tasked to invent new, expositional forms of knowledge over and beyond representation to remain epistemically engaged in today’s fast and complex world.

Many studies have provided significant insights into polyploid breeding
in recent years, but limited research has been carried out on trees. The
genomic information needed to understand the growth and response to
abiotic stress in polyploidy trees is largely unknown, but has become
critical due to the threats to our forests imposed by climate change.
Populus alba ’Berolinensis’, also known “Yinzhong poplar”, is a
triploid poplar from the northeast of China. This hybrid triploid poplar
is widely used as a landscape ornamental and in urban forestry for its
adaptation to adverse environments and fast growth than its parental
diploid. It is an artificially synthesized male allotriploid hybrid,
with three haploid genomes of P. alba ‘Berolinensis’ originated
from different poplar species, so it is attractive for studying
polyploidy genomic mechanisms in heterosis. In this study, we focused on
the allelic genomic interactions in P. alba
’Berolinensis’, and generated a high-quality chromosome-level
genome assembly consisting of 19 allelic chromosomes. Its three haploid
chromosome sets are polymorphic with an average of 25.73 nucleotide
polymorphism sites per kilobase. We found that some stress related genes
such as RD22 and LEA7 exhibited sequence differences
between different haploid genomes. The genome assembly has been
deposited into our polyploid genome online analysis website TreeGenomes
(https://www.treegenomes.com). These polyploid genomic related
resources will provide a critical foundation for the molecular breeding
of P. alba ’Berolinensis’ and help us uncover the
allopolyploidization effects of heterosis and abiotic stress resistance
and traits of polyploidy species deeper in the future.
Situational ERP readiness for ERP failure reduction: A metamethod
Authors: Armand Manga Tobie , ETOUNDI Roger ATSA
Published: June 2023

Between 60 and 90 % of ERP implementation projects fail. One of the
reasons is the non-ERP readiness of the organizations. However, actual
ERP readiness management (ERM) methods tend to be context specific,
making them inefficient in other contexts. With a focus on the African
context, existing contextual and functional gaps are identified by
assessing actual ERM methods. The purpose of this work is to build a
metamethod capable to be specified based on the context of the
organization. The solution is built using Method Engineering as Design
Science methodology. The main idea is to introduce situational
properties in ERM method design using the Situational Method Engineering
approach based on chunks. The solution is demonstrated using
experimentations and within a case study. The findings of this work
provide greater insights into situational ERM design and thus are
helpful for organisations to build suitable ERM methods: (1) There is no
one size fits all method in IS implementation like in software
development; (2) Well-formed and suitable ERM methods can be designed
using the framework proposed using an easier to understand process and
artefacts from this article. (3) The results open perspectives of
situational ERP implementation life-cycle for ERP implementation
success. In ERP implementation research, must of the contributions come
from field studies. This potentially limits the scope of the results,
with biases. This article comes to contribute to fill this gap in
introducing SME in ERP implementation for context-aware methods as a
solution to the failure issue.

Investigation of heating time of a bundle of steel bars
Authors: Suren Aghbalyan  , Vazgen Bagdasaryan  , Rafał Wyczółkowski
Published: June 2023

The paper deals with the problem of determining the heating time of a bundle of flat steel bars. To describe a mathematical model of transient heat transfer the energy balance method was used. The most important element is to determine the effective thermal conductivity coefficient using the electrical analogy. The simulations of heating were performed for increasing temperature of furnace. The results show that using different sizes and bundle arrangement the heating time can be reduced by 5–15%. The analysed problem is important from the practical point of view because it allows for optimization of heat treatment processes of steel bars.
Influence of durability of waterproofing solutions terraces protecting against water and moisture
Authors: Barbara Francke  , Leonard Runkiewicz
Published: June 2023

The article analyses the changes in the durability of waterproofing of terraces, with particular emphasis on the properties of waterproofing materials as a result of utility factors. It was analysed the influence of tensile properties of the above-mentioned materials on their resistance against fatigue resulting from movements of the substrates caused by temperature changes on the surface of the terraces coverings. The adopted range of horizontal plate movements was from 0 to 2 mm at variable temperatures: –  15°C and +70°C. The durability of waterproofing sheets, such as reinforced bitumen sheets and PVC sheets and rubber sheets, as well as coating products was assessed. Thermal deformations of the substrate plates occurring within the terrace covering are most effectively transferred by flexibility sheets with a high relative elongation value, that is: bitumen sheets with polyester reinforcement, PVC sheets and EPDM sheets. The correlation between the mechanical properties of the coatings and their resistance to fatigue cannot be determined but the most favourable properties are shown by two-component (polymer-cement) liquid applied water impermeable products reinforced on the entire surface or reinforced with special tapes over the thermal expansion joints of the substrate plates.
Matrix transforms between sequence spaces defined by speeds of convergence
Authors: Aasma Ants , Natarajan P.N.
Published: June 2023

Let X,Y be two sequence spaces defined by speeds of the convergence, i.e.; by monotonically increasing positive sequences. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a matrix A (with real or complex entries) to map X into Y. Also the analogue of the well known result of Steinhaus, which states that a regular matrix cannot transform each bounded sequence into convergent sequence, for the sequence spaces defined by the speeds of convergence has been proved.
A note on I-convergence in quasi-metric spaces
Authors: Tang Zhongbao , Xiong Qian
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we define several ideal versions of Cauchy sequences and
completeness in quasimetric spaces. Some examples are constructed to clarify
their relationships. We also show that: (1) if a quasi-metric space (X, ?)

Published: June 2023

In this paper we continue the study of the characterization of selection
principles in the hyperspaces CL(X), K(X), F(X) and CS(X), endowed with the
hit-and-miss topology, by using ??(?)-networks and c?(?)-covers of a
topological space X. Specifically, we prove theorems which characterize the
covering properties Hurewicz, strongly star Hurewicz, star Hurewicz and
absolutely strongly star Hurewicz in these hyperspaces.

Published: June 2023

This paper?s objective is to put forward anewkind of E?type contraction, which
includes rational expression, by considering Proinov type functions and
CG?simulation functions. This type of contraction is termed as a
Suzuki-Proinov type generalized (?,Z* E)?contraction mapping. Further,
some common fixed point theorems using these new mappings, which are
triangular ??admissible pairs, are demonstrated in the setting of modular
b?metric space. Besides, the given example indicates the applicability and
validity of the outcomes of this study.

Public Communication of Audit Risks and Related-Party Transactions: Evidence from China
Authors: Hope Ole-Kristian , Yue Heng , Zhong Qinlin
Published: June 2023

This paper examines whether and how firms’ engagement in related-party transactions (RPTs) is shaped by public communication of audit risks as required by the expanded audit report. Using the phased regulatory changes in China and a difference-in-differences design with firm fixed effects and matching, we find that firms significantly reduce their RPTs after the adoption of expanded audit reports (EARs). To investigate potential mechanisms, we find that (1) investor scrutiny increases after the adoption of EARs, (2) the reduction of RPTs is more pronounced when EARs are more likely to attract investor attention, and (3) the reduction of RPTs is weaker when firms are less concerned about investor scrutiny. The results suggest that EARs can attract investor scrutiny and increase the possible penalty associated with self-dealing, thus motivating firms to reduce RPTs.

Accounting Reporting Complexity and Non-GAAP Earnings Disclosure
Authors: Brown Nerissa C. , Huffman Adrienna A. , Cohen Shira
Published: June 2023

We examine whether the complexity of mandatory accounting disclosures prompts managers to voluntarily disclose adjusted measures of actual earnings performance, and whether this practice reflects attempts to obfuscate or mitigate the informational opacity accounting complexity creates for investors. Using the metadata in XBRL filings, we construct measures of accounting complexity that map directly to the mandated standards applied in financial statement filings. We find a positive and economically significant association between accounting complexity and managers’ propensity to disclose non-GAAP earnings information. This relation is robust and incremental to common measures of business and linguistic complexity, and the transitory nature of firms’ economic activities. We also find that the quality and informativeness of adjusted earnings information increases with accounting complexity, consistent with motives to better inform investors when accounting disclosures are complex. Overall, our results suggest that managers use non-GAAP earnings disclosure to mitigate the adverse informational effects of accounting complexity.

First Real-World Experience With Bigfoot Unity: A 6-Month Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Baliga Bantwal S. , Tillman John B. , Olson Byron , Vaughan Sarah , Sheikh F. Naureen , Malone James K.
Published: June 2023

The Bigfoot Unity Diabetes Management System, a smart pen cap system cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May 2021, incorporates continuous glucose monitoring data, real-time glycemic alerts, and clinician-directed dose recommendations. This study analyzed real-world clinical outcomes data for an initial cohort (n = 58, from 13 clinics) managing multiple daily injection insulin therapy using the pen cap system for 6 months. We examined glycemic control, including hypoglycemia events and interaction with and use of the pen cap system. In a cohort mainly consisting of adults with type 2 diabetes and an average age of 62 years, the results demonstrate close adherence to established glycemic targets, including a relatively short amount of time spent in the hypoglycemic range.
Reciprocal Regulation of Hepatic TGF-β1 and Foxo1 Controls Gluconeogenesis and Energy Expenditure

Published: June 2023

Obesity and insulin resistance are risk factors for the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we report that hepatic TGF-β1 expression positively correlates with obesity and insulin resistance in mice and humans. Hepatic TGF-β1 deficiency decreased blood glucose levels in lean mice and improved glucose and energy dysregulations in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice and diabetic mice. Conversely, overexpression of TGF-β1 in the liver exacerbated metabolic dysfunctions in DIO mice. Mechanistically, hepatic TGF-β1 and Foxo1 are reciprocally regulated: fasting or insulin resistance caused Foxo1 activation, increasing TGF-β1 expression, which, in turn, activated protein kinase A, stimulating Foxo1-S273 phosphorylation to promote Foxo1-mediated gluconeogenesis. Disruption of TGF-β1→Foxo1→TGF-β1 looping by deleting TGF-β1 receptor II in the liver or by blocking Foxo1-S273 phosphorylation ameliorated hyperglycemia and improved energy metabolism in adipose tissues. Taken together, our studies reveal that hepatic TGF-β1→Foxo1→TGF-β1 looping could be a potential therapeutic target for prevention and treatment of obesity and T2D.

Article Highlights

Hepatic TGF-β1 levels are increased in obese humans and mice. Hepatic TGF-β1 maintains glucose homeostasis in lean mice and causes glucose and energy dysregulations in obese and diabetic mice. Hepatic TGF-β1 exerts an autocrine effect to promote hepatic gluconeogenesis via cAMP-dependent protein kinase–mediated Foxo1 phosphorylation at serine 273, endocrine effects on brown adipose tissue action, and inguinal white adipose tissue browning (beige fat), causing energy imbalance in obese and insulin-resistant mice. TGF-β1→Foxo1→TGF-β1 looping in hepatocytes plays a critical role in controlling glucose and energy metabolism in health and disease.
