Authors: Beck Hanno , Prinz Aloys
Published: July 2023

In the wake of recent scandals, public broadcasting has again come under criticism. In the coming years, public broadcasting faces three major challenges: Firstly, considering recent scandals, an effective system of corporate governance must be installed. Secondly, the funding of public broadcasting must be rethought. Thirdly, in the longer term, public broadcasting must be adapted to a digitised and changing media landscape. In addition to various approaches for better corporate governance, alternative solutions for determining the financial resources of public broadcasting are discussed. Finally, structural reform options as well as a comprehensive reform by means of a media fund for the digital media age are analysed.
„Arbeit und Brot“ – die sozioökonomische NS-Propaganda vor 1933
Authors: Kowall Nikolaus
Published: July 2023

The NSDAP not only copied the style of the labour movement from the start, but also shifted the focus of its propaganda from 1928 onward from nationalistic foreign policy to domestic and social issues. Until 1932, however, the new socio-economic focus was not underpinned by any concrete economic policy programme. This changed in the final phase of the Weimar Republic, when the NSDAP recognised the political importance of taking action against mass unemployment like no other party. Ideas for active economic policy using central bank-financed employment programmes, which the leading National Socialist Gregor Strasser adopted from early Keynesian and trade union circles, served as the programmatic basis. The topic was job creation, the slogan was “work and bread” and the explicit main opponent, the SPD, was blamed for unemployment, misery and bankruptcy. This socio-economic focus may have contributed significantly to the electoral success of the NSDAP in July 1932, when it replaced the SPD as the strongest party in the Reichstag. The Nazis were able to garner more than a quarter of the workers‘ votes and became the strongest party - even among the workers. With this, the NSDAP turned into a people‘s party, which was drawn from all milieus.
Deutschlands internationale Klimafinanzierung auf dem Prüfstand
Authors: Becker Ann-Kristin , Sieberichs Ina
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we discuss whether Germany fulfills its international commitments in financing climate projects in vulnerable countries of the Global South or whether the financing is rather guided by German interests. To this end, we take a critical look at the fact that climate projects are mainly financed through the development cooperation budget. We also discuss the allocation of funds between climate change adaptation and climate change mitigation. We argue that the budget of development cooperation should be increased, and that international climate finance should focus more on climate adaptation.
Entwicklung der öffentlichen Gesundheitsausgaben
Authors: Zeddies Götz
Published: July 2023

In light of demographic change, health expenditures of the German state should rise considerably in future. On the basis of the 15th population forecast of the German Federal Statistical Office, health expenditures of the German public health care system are projected until the year 2050. As the calculations show, public health care expenditures of the German federal state will almost triple by then.. In Germany, public health care expenditures are financed by social security contributions raised on gross wages. These wages, according to long-term economic projections of the OECD, will also rise considerably by the year of 2050. However, since public health care expenditures will increase more than gross wages due to demographic change, contribution rates or tax subsidies to the German statutory health insurance will have to be increased.

Published: July 2023

The second graders of MTs DDI Baru face several issues in learning English. Those become obstacles for them to get good achievement in the subject. One of the most difficult issue for them is they could not even compose a simple sentence properly using basic tenses such as simple present and simple past tense. The researcher tried to use game-based learning, in this case, using Snakes and Ladders game to solve the problem. So that, this research aims to find out the significant effect of using of snakes and ladders game in improving students’ grammar ability. This research design applied research with one pre-test and one post-test design in the experimental and control class. From 5 classes, the researcher chose 2 classes as sample by using cluster random sampling. The data analysis result revealed that the post-test mean score (74.07) is greater than the pre-test mean score (37.24) in experimental class. The results of the t-test also confirm that the p-value is 0.001, or smaller than 0.05, whereas the t-value is 8.87 or greater than t-table 2.048. So, by considering the p and the t value, the reseacher withdraw conclusion that H₁ is accepted which states that the use of the Snakes and Ladders game can improve students’ grammar. However, another interesting finding reveals that there is also improvement of students’ scores in the control class but not as significant as in the experimental class. The mean score increased 15.86 points while in the experimental class it increased 36.83 points

Authors: Peters Anju T. , Wagenmann Martin , Bernstein Jonathan A. , Khan Asif H. , Nash Scott , Jacob-Nara Juby A. , Siddiqui Shahid , Rowe Paul J. , Deniz Yamo
Published: July 2023

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a predominantly type 2 inflammatory disease, which often coexists with allergic rhinitis (AR). Dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, blocks the shared receptor component for interleukin-4 and interleukin-13,
key and central drivers of type 2 inflammation. Objective: This post hoc analysis investigated the efficacy and safety of dupilumab in patients with severe CRSwNP with or without coexisting AR in the pooled phase III SINUS-24/SINUS-52 studies. Methods:
Patients randomized to subcutaneous dupilumab 300 mg (n = 438) or placebo (n = 286) every 2 weeks for 24 (SINUS-24) or 52 weeks (SINUS-52) were analyzed. Pooled data from the first 24 weeks of treatment are presented. Changes from baseline in disease outcome measures and biomarker levels
were analyzed by the patient-reported history of AR status. Results: Overall, 338 of 724 patients (46.7%) had AR. Baseline characteristics were generally similar between patients with and those without AR. Dupilumab significantly improved objective and patient-reported
measures of CRSwNP, including loss of smell, and reduced systemic and nasal biomarker levels versus placebo at week 24, with no significant treatment difference between patients with and those without AR. Use of systemic corticosteroids and/or sinonasal surgery during treatment was significantly
reduced with dupilumab versus placebo, irrespective of AR status (p ≤ 0.0029). The safety profile of dupilumab was similar in patients with and in patients without AR. Conclusion: Dupilumab demonstrated significant improvements in both clinical end points and symptom
scores versus placebo in patients with severe CRSwNP, irrespective of comorbid AR status, a common subgroup of patients often associated with poorer CRSwNP outcomes.

New insights in hidden food allergies
Authors: Bahna Sami L.
Published: July 2023

Food allergic reactions primarily occur after exposure to the offending food through ingestion, contact, or inhalation. However, it can occur covertly through hidden ways that are often missed, with undesirable consequences. Information has been accumulating over the years to indicate
that food allergy (FA) may have been the problem in subjects who do not report an association to eating, touching, or smelling a food. Therefore, it would be prudent to explore the possibility of a hidden FA. The causative substance may be a food allergen or a nonfood allergen hidden in a
previously tolerated food. Food allergens are commonly hidden in various medications, even in anti-allergy drugs. A blood product may passively transmit food allergens to a recipient who is sensitized or food-specific immunoglobulin E antibodies to a recipient who is nonatopic. It may also
be excreted in breast milk, saliva, or semen. Transmission of the FA genetic trait can occur through transplantation of hematopoietic tissue. When the medical history and routine allergy evaluation do not point to the cause of an allergic reaction, it would be prudent to suspect hidden FA
before labeling the reaction as idiopathic. A skillful detailed history taking, a cooperative patient, a careful reading of labels, and an interested allergist are needed for suspecting hidden FA and for planning an appropriate evaluation and verification of the offending allergen and, ultimately,
optimal relief for the patient.
Atopic dermatitis and food allergy: To Test or not to test
Authors: Pepper Amber N.
Published: July 2023

One of the most challenging clinical scenarios in the field of allergy and immunology is the patient with uncontrolled atopic dermatitis (AD) and potential food allergy. These two diagnoses often coexist, but false-positive testing to foods is also prevalent. Physicians and other
health care professionals may be concerned that not testing enough foods could lead to worsened AD severity or future systemic food reactions. However, testing too many foods can cause unnecessary food avoidance with varied subsequent consequences. Adding to this dilemma, patients and families
with AD often request food allergy testing or present with test results in need of interpretation. The best path forward for these patients is nuanced, but evidenced-based medicine indicates that “less is more” when it comes to food allergy testing in patients with AD. This review
explores when food testing is indicated based on the latest research and guidelines in food allergy and AD.

Published: July 2023

This article evaluates waste management in supporting energy efficiency, utilization of new and renewable energy (NRE), and circular economy as part of environmental accounting. The research used a case study on a community empowerment program by one of the cement companies in Indonesia, PT Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk (ITP). Interviews were conducted with 16 administrators and workers of community empowerment program, which manages the company's waste management, along with observation on the program implementation. This study analyzed information on the new renewable energy (NRE) from treated waste, circular economy processes through the stages of waste management, economic and environmental impacts, as well as supporting facilities and infrastructure in the waste management process. The results of the study found that the use of multilayer waste can minimize the environmental impact caused by the company in the coal burning process. Until February 2023, the multilayer waste or refused derived fuel (RDF) used by the community empowerment group has replaced coal by 0.04% at the Citeureup ITP Plant. The use of multilayer waste as an NRE managed to reduce CO2 emissions in the combustion process of cement production. The increase in income from waste processing reached 469.30% from the sales of segregated waste, compost, RDF, and services. The waste management program has improved the community's quality of life in terms of increased knowledge, skills, and economy of its members, as well as the creation of a circular economy in the community. This empirical research used a case study of an Indonesian cement company that has been able to calculate its energy efficiency, which is one of the applications of environmental accounting.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Intellectual Capital as measured by Value Added Capital Employed (VACA), Value Added Capital Employed Human Capital (VAHU), and Structural Capital Value Added (STVA) on the Financial Performance of Companies. This type of research is associative quantitative using saturated samples, where all populations are used as samples, containing total of  20 State-owned Companies (SoC). While the research period was carried out over five years, namely 2018-2021, so there were 80 observational data. This study uses annual financial reports, sustainability reports, and company websites as secondary data sources sources then the researchers present the data in a data tabulation. Data analysis methods used in this study include descriptive statistics, classical assumptions, panel data regression, and hypothesis testing with Eviews-12 software. The results of this study indicate that the CSR and Intellectual Capital, as measured by VACA and STVA, significantly influence the financial performance of IDXSoC. However, VAHU does not influence financial performance. This study contributes to enriching the research development of the sustainability accounting field. Meanwhile, the results of this study may suggest that the SoC management should optimize CSR and Intellectual Capital performance in order to strengthen their financial performances.

Published: July 2023

The subject of the study is the process of reproduction of human capital and consumer choice of young people. The object of the study is the human capital system, taking into account the consumer choices of young people. The authors study in detail such aspects of the topic as the differentiation of employment among young people, the social and labor values of youth in the conditions of consumer society and exposure as a system of expectations and requirements imposed on the individual regarding the norms of her social roles. Special attention is paid to the analysis of official statistics describing youth employment as a social group. Attention is drawn to the interest of young people in new technologies that provide a full production cycle, which meets the expectations of this age group of human capital. The main conclusions of the study are: - the active phase of the formation of the labor market of young professionals involves ensuring a balanced supply and demand. Of particular importance are measures to coordinate the volume and structure of training specialists with the needs of the labor market. This is achieved by streamlining information about available vacancies, as well as encouraging employers to create additional jobs for young people; - as part of the change in the employment structure, it is planned to create new types of youth employment. At the same time, one of the key areas of the state's activity is seen in stimulating the development of entrepreneurial activity among young people, credit benefits, and deepening institutional reforms. A special contribution of the author to the research of the topic is to determine the directions that correspond to the expectations of youth as the most active resource of human capital. The novelty of the research lies in the concretization of the process of human capital formation in Russian society, taking into account the professional adaptation of young people.
Error-Covariance Reset in the Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter for Attitude Estimation
Authors: Markley F. Landis , Cheng Yang , Crassidis John L. , Reynolds Reid G.
Published: July 2023

This paper presents a study of the reset step in the multiplicative extended Kalman filter (MEKF). This filter is widely used for spacecraft attitude estimation, which typically involves estimating the attitude and gyro drift in real time using external sensors such as star trackers. The basic idea of the MEKF is to use the quaternion or direction-cosine matrix as the “global” attitude parameterization and a three-component state vector for the “local” parameterization of attitude errors. The true attitude is expressed as the product of the error attitude and the estimate rather than as the sum of the error and the estimate. The reset operation moves the local error to the global variable. This reset does not add new information, but it changes the reference frame for the attitude error covariance. This results in an error-covariance reset that is very different from the measurement update of the error covariance in the MEKF. The effects of using an error-covariance reset in the MEKF are analyzed in this work. The results from this work can be applied to any application involving attitude estimation as part of its process, such as inertial navigation.
Safety Lifetime Analysis Using Two-Phase Subset Simulation Combined with Kriging Model
Authors: Lu Yixin , Lu Zhenzhou , Feng Kaixuan
Published: July 2023

The safety lifetime analysis under the required time-dependent failure probability (R-FP) constraint is essential to ensure structure service safety, but existing methods are unaffordable for solving the safety lifetime under a small R-FP constraint. For this issue, a novel method is proposed by combining a two-phase subset simulation with an adaptive kriging model (TP-SS-AK). The innovations of the TP-SS-AK include three aspects. First, it creatively transforms the safety lifetime under a small R-FP constraint into that under a large conditional R-FP constraint by subset simulation, which can greatly improve efficiency because the large conditional R-FP constraint only needs a small candidate sample pool for searching the safety lifetime. Second, by deducing the misclassification probability of the time-dependent structure state in the first phase, the first new learning strategy is established to train the kriging model of the time-dependent performance function and further determine a reasonable lifetime search interval efficiently. Third, by deriving the misclassification probability of the first failure instant, the second new learning strategy is constructed to efficiently update the kriging model in the second phase and further search the safety lifetime. Because the proposed TP-SS-AK combines the advantages of the two-phase subset simulation and two new learning strategies, it is superior to the existing methods in efficiency, and its superiority is verified by the examples.

Published: July 2023

Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited metabolic disorders that are caused by enzyme deficiencies within the lysosomes. The most common lysosomal storage disorder associated with Mongolian spots (MSs) is GM1 gangliosidosis Type-1. We are reporting a case of Hurler disease with extensive MS. A 9-month-old girl, born to a consanguineously married couple, presented with a developmental delay with uneventful birth history. The presence of multiple mongoloid spots over the lumbosacral region and lateral abdominal wall was noticed since birth. Examination showed coarse facies with a depressed nasal bridge and a low-set ear. Multiple mongoloid macules were noted in the lumbosacral region. Serum enzyme assay level had decreased activity of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA). Exome sequencing revealed a homozygous mutation in exon 8 of the IDUA gene. Extensive MS can be seen in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) Type 1 in addition to commonly described GM1 gangliosidosis. The early diagnosis helps to start enzyme replacement therapy in MPS Type I, compared to currently no specific treatment available for GM1 gangliosidosis.

Published: July 2023

It’s known that our relationships with others affect the way we view ourselves. The effects of trainer characteristics on athletes in the sports environment is a very important and common research topic. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the relationship between the pedagogical competence perceived by the athletes from their trainers and the emotion regulation strategies they use. A total of 107 young judo athletes, 64 male and 43 female with a mean age of 15.85±1.32, participated in the study. "Trainers’ Pedagogical Competencies Scale" was used to measure the pedagogical competence perceived by the athletes from their trainers, and the "Emotion Regulation Scale for Athletes" was used to determine which emotion regulation strategies they used. Pearson correlation test was used to determine the relationship between trainer pedagogical competence and emotion regulation, and multiple linear regression analysis (enter method) was used to determine whether trainer pedagogical competence was a significant predictor of emotion regulation strategies. Moderately positive and significant relationships were found between empathy-attention and target-oriented training, which are sub-dimensions of the instructor pedagogical competence scale, and cognitive reappraisal and suppression, one of the emotion regulation strategies. In addition, empathy and attention were found to significantly predict cognitive reappraisal. Again, it was determined that the variables of prevention of support and solidarity and education for the purpose significantly predicted the suppression strategy. As a result, it can be said that some parameters of the pedagogical competence of the trainer are effective on the emotion regulation strategies preferred by the athletes.

Published: July 2023

The increase of antibiotic-resistance bacteria in food and vegetables has heightened the concern related to food safety globally. The current study aimed to determine the prevalence and antibiotic resistance profile of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)producing Escherichia coli in raw vegetables. This study coupled the most probable number (MPN) method with multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) to determine the presence and enumerate the ESBL-producing E. coli in raw vegetables. The result showed that the prevalence of the isolates in raw vegetables was 62.78% (113/180), consisting of 62.11% (59/95) in green carol lettuce and 63.53% (54/85) in mung bean sprouts, whereas the microbial load ranged from <3 to >1100 MPN/g with median 9.2 MPN/g. Overall, the study showed that there was no significant difference (P>0.05) in the microbial density of the isolates in vegetable samples purchased from wet markets and hypermarkets. Furthermore, the antibiotic susceptibility test revealed that all related strains were susceptible to cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam and meropenem. However, the resistance to ampicillin was shown by 80% of the isolates. The multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) indices of ESBL-producing E. coli ranged from 0.1 to 0.6. The majority of the isolates (60%) showed multidrug resistance. Hence, the current study suggested that raw vegetables could be a vehicle for the transmission of ESBL-producing E. coli to humans.

Published: July 2023

Objective:  The objective of this study was to identify the profile of academic research on blended learning in the world and propose a research agenda for the topic.
 
Theoretical framework: Recent literature has reported good results in both student performance and satisfaction in blended learning (Dziuban et al., 2004). However, there is still much to investigate and learn about BL because it is a recent development.
 
Method: The research is descriptive was non-experimental, the sample was calculated by probabilistic sampling, for the estimation of consumption a simple model of consumption was used a general linear regression model (GLRM) that was supported by the estimation by ordinary least squares (OLS).
 
Results and conclusion: The results show an 83.0% degree of goodness of fit. In other words, 83.0% of the variability of consumption is explained by the variability of family income.  The marginal propensity of households to consume is 62.6 percent, i.e., for each additional monthly income generated, 0.62 percent of this new income is converted into consumption expenditure, taking into account all the components of consumption, and the remainder, i.e., 37.4 percent, is spent on savings or investment, bearing in mind that the economic theory of saving and investment essentially are the same.
 
Implications of the research: The study is important because it describes consumption at the microeconomic level, using an econometric model that explains the relationship between consumption and income. Socially, it describes consumer behavior.
 
Originality/Value: The value of the study focuses on the analysis of income with consumption through an econometric model that describes how much of the income is destined for consumption.

Traditional automatic transmission systems suffer from fuel consumption and emissions issues, as well as limitations in the efficiency of mechanical transmission systems. In order to solve these problems, different types of transmission systems are used in new-energy vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV). The key factors for optimizing the transmission systems of new-energy vehicles include battery technology and energy management system, electric motor and electronic control system, energy recovery and reuse technology, and lightweight and aerodynamic design of the vehicle. This paper also introduces methods and tools for designing new-energy vehicle transmission systems, including simulation tools, optimization algorithms and data analysis, as well as experimental verification and testing methods. Besides, new-energy vehicle transmission system designs are proposed, and future challenges and development directions are discussed through case studies.

The given article continues the series of articles devoted to the peculiarities of foreign language education and those educational strategies that are used during the educational process. These strategies are aimed at improving the quality of the educational process and shaping of the necessary skills, which will later form the basis of communicative and socio-cultural competencies. It is known that foreign language education is multidimensional and one of the main aspects is the cognitive aspect, within which there is active communication between students and teachers, which makes the process of learning more interesting, attractive and productive for students. The cognitive process of language learning also involves the use of certain cognitive educational strategies (for example, dual coding strategies, strategies for distributing knowledge over time, etc.). In this article, our attention will be focused on the dual coding strategy which is considered one of the most widely used strategies, as well as one of the most productive.

Authors: Starodubtseva E. A.
Published: July 2023

The article discusses the importance of critical thinking in modern society and its development in education for graduates’ successful future careers. Integrating cognitive and affective domains is necessary for critical thinking. Students should learn to evaluate their own thinking in various forms of communication. Richard Paul’s model can be used to develop critical thinking skills in students across academic and real-world situations, including teaching English at university. Teaching critical thinking in English language classes is essential for understanding and analyzing language, culture, and society in English-speaking countries and for successful practical application of knowledge. Teachers should focus on their students’ process of acquiring, reproducing, and using knowledge if they want to develop higher levels of thinking. Richard Paul’s model is an effective tool for developing analytical skills and critical thinking, which can help students make informed decisions in various aspects of life.

Advantages of using memes as additional material in the educational process
Authors: Atyaksheva D. A.
Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of using Internet memes as teaching material during English classes. In this research, the analysis of Internet memes as elements of network communication was carried out: the stages of its creation, transformation and deconstruction were considered, the cultural and linguistic potential of Internet memes as additional teaching material was revealed. The Internet meme is considered as a complex unit of comparison of the verbal and nonverbal linguistic component, which seems to be a fairly effective means of teaching foreign language with the help of visualizing material. The theoretical (analysis of the theoretical base, synthesis and classification) and practical (sampling, analysis, questionnaire) methods were used. As a result of the study, a scheme for the analysis of Internet memes was developed based on the studied material, a linguistic and stylistic analysis of the verbal component of Internet memes was carried out, which made it possible to develop training tasks for students. A comparative analysis of the testing showed that when using Internet memes as an additional teaching material, the study of a foreign language is more successful, in particular, the students of the experimental group have a higher level of passing the control test and the level of motivation to learn foreign languages higher.
