Authors: Da Silva Elizandra Porto , Rodrigues Renata Elizandra Corrêa , Faria Maria Elisa de Lacerda
Published: July 2023

O sistema prisional brasileiro apresenta diversas situações problemáticas, como por exemplo, superlotação, doenças contagiosas, rebeliões dos apenados, falta de investimentos por parte dos órgãos responsáveis e situações ansiogênicas. A metodologia de trabalho escolhida é a revisão sistemática de literatura. O processo de coleta do material foi realizado de forma sistemática e incluiu publicações em português. Por fim, estes materiais foram lidos na íntegra, categorizados e analisados criticamente. A pesquisa foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados: SCIELO e PEPSIC. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: agente penitenciário, psicologia, saúde mental, estresse psicológico, trabalho, artigos completos, em português e publicados nos últimos cinco anos foram incluídos no estudo. Período de 2015 a 2023. Aqueles que não se encaixavam no critério foram excluídos. De maneira geral, o objetivo deste trabalho é identificar na literatura existente o estado mental dos trabalhadores do sistema prisional brasileiro, visto que existe um descaso com os mesmos.  A melhor solução aqui é garantir condições iguais de trabalho a todos os tipos de contratados, sem regalias ou tratamento especial apenas para certos funcionários. (BAGALHO, MORAES, 2017). É de extrema importância elaborar políticas públicas para combater o estresse físico e psicológico, essa vulnerabilidade está relacionada as condições de trabalho e ao próprio sistema, já que são superlotados.

Assessing The Impact of Medical Treatment and Fumigation on The Superinfection of Malaria: A Study of Sensitivity Analysis
Authors: Handari Bevina D. , Aldila Dipo , Tamalia Evllyn , Khoshnaw Sarbaz H. A. , Shahzad Muhammad
Published: July 2023

Malaria is a disease caused by the parasite Plasmodium, transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles. In general, five species of Plasmodium that can cause malaria. Of the five species, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax are two species of Plasmodium that can allow malaria superinfection in the human body. Typically, the popular intervention for malaria eradication is the use of fumigation to control the vector population and provide good medical services for malaria patients. Here in this article, we formulate a mathematical model based on a host-vector interaction. Our model considering two types of plasmodium in the infection process and the use of medical treatment and fumigation for the eradication program. Our analytical result succeeds in proving the existence of all equilibrium points and how their existence and local stability criteria depend not only on the control reproduction number but also in the invasive reproduction number. This invasive reproduction number represent how one plasmodium can dominate other plasmodium. Our sensitivity analysis shows that fumigation is the most influential parameter in determining all control reproduction numbers. Furthermore, we find that the order in which numerous intervention measures are taken will be very crucial to determine the level of success of our malaria eradication program.

Published: July 2023

El objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la relación existente entre el planeamiento y las contingencias tributarias en la industria de golosinas del distrito de Lurigancho, Lima, 2022. El método fue de enfoque cuantitativa, tipo aplicada, diseño no experimental- corte transversal, de nivel correlacional. Se diseñó un cuestionario el cual fue validado por juicio de experto; fue aplicado mediante la técnica de la encuesta. La muestra estuvo conformada por 40 profesionales del área contable, área administrativa y área de tesorería de cuatro empresas de la industria de golosinas, la cual se determinó a través de un muestreo no probabilístico intencional. Para la contrastación de las hipótesis, se utilizó Rho de Spearman para medir la correlación de las variables. Los resultados revelaron que, a través de la prueba no paramétrica de Rho Spearman, se obtuvo una sig. bilateral de 0,000 y un coeficiente de correlación de ,797, lo cual permitió aceptar que el planeamiento tributario sí se relaciona de forma significativa con las contingencias tributarias. Esta relación es alta positiva, según los datos analizados. Se concluyó que el planeamiento tributario busca optimizar la carga tributaria de las empresas, mientras que las contingencias tributarias son los riesgos o problemas que pueden surgir en relación con las obligaciones fiscales. Ambos aspectos son importantes en la práctica empresarial para garantizar una gestión fiscal eficiente y cumplir con las obligaciones legales, según la normativa.
Geomagnetism came first: Implications for animal translocation and the two-brains hypothesis.
Authors:   Galil Genetic Analysis, Katzrin 12900 Israel, Goodman G. , Poznanski R.R. ,   Integrative Neuroscience Initiative, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 3145
Published: July 2023

The relevance of the Two-Brains Hypothesis for induction between peripheral Schwann cells and their axon hosts and for intra- and trans-cranial bioengineering at the humanrobotics interface is accompanied by particular attention to its significance for a biological wonder: the involvement of geomagnetism in avian directional behavior in migration, homing and navigation. Two sources of magnetism are considered here. The simpler is the polar (compass) direction, long reported as resulting in some birds in a manner unknown from the presence of magnetite (Fe3O4) in the avian ethmoid region. The second is certain chemical reactions that respond to applied magnetic fields. These usually involve radicals, molecules with unpaired electrons that spin in one of two possible states. A radicalpair mechanism, a light-dependent, chemical initiation of magnetic orientation, has been considered responsive to the axial inclination of the field in relation to Earth's field, but not to its polarity. The initiation is by optic but nonvisually responsive cellular absorption of a photon of a specific wavelength. Radical pairs are short-lived and must be correctly aligned in the host receptors for directional sensitivity. The firmest evidence for the radical-pair theory of magneto-reception in birds remains the cryptochromes, the blue-light absorbing flavoproteins, but the receptor molecule has not been identified yet. Subjective thought and consciousness are also unexplained in birds, as in humans and animals. However, the novel, structured dichotomy of the Two-Brains Hypothesis may provide a fresh, biophysical approach to the connection between geomagnetism, life and the evolution of vertebrate translocation without recourse to philosophy or a universe expanding beyond imagination.
Jacques Derrida’s Marxism: An Althusserian Analysis
Authors: Mr. Javed Akhter  , Dr. Naseem Achakzai
Published: July 2023

The on-going research study tends to conduct the textual analysis of Spectres of Marx: The State of Debt, the Work of Mourning and the New International (1994) by Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) to discuss and trace the impact of Marxism on him and in turns his responses towards it. He defended Marxism against world capitalism in the post-Cold War “New World Order” after the fall of Communism in 1989. He made a great contribution to the development of Marxist discourse from a deconstructive perspective. Therefore, the research paper focuses on the question, how did Derrida come under the influence of Marxism in his later career? It is mostly concerned with the critical responses of Derrida’s contemporary Marxist critics to Derridean deconstruction in general and to the publication of the book cited-above in particular as well as Derrida’s responses to them. In this way, the study attempts to explore the ways in which Marxism and deconstruction encounters and influences each other. Though it mainly concentrates on Derrida’s text on Marx, his other works also come under discussion. Althusserian Marxist hermeneutics has been employed as the theoretical and analytical framework in this textual study.

TÜREV ÜRÜNLERİN BANKA KÂRLILIĞI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: TÜRK BANKACILIK SEKTÖRÜ UYGULAMASI
Authors: BAYRİ Erinç
Published: July 2023

Ülkemizde ve dünyada finansal piyasaların en önemli aktörlerinden biri olan bankalar ve bankacılık sektörü gelişmiş ülke ekonomilerinde olduğu gibi ülkemiz gibi gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde de oldukça önemli bir konuma sahiptir. Bankacılık; temel anlamda fon fazlalığı bulunan birey, kurum ya da kuruluşlar ile fon açığı bulunanların buluştuğu ortak bir nokta olarak görülse de günümüzde bankacılık anlayışı özellikle yeni finansal enstrümanların kullanım ihtiyacındaki artışlara da cevap vermede proaktif davranış gösteren finansal kurumların başında gelmektedir. Finansal krizlerin yoğun olarak hissedildiği ve belirsizliklerin arttığı ekonomik koşullarda, bankacılık sektörü de risk ve belirsizlikleri eliminize etmeye çalışırken aynı zamanda kârlılıklarını artıracak teknolojik ve yenilikçi finansal enstrümanlar ile piyasa koşullarına cevap vermeye yarayan enstrümanlar aramaya başlamıştır. Bunun neticesinde türev finansal araçlar bu ihtiyaca cevap olarak ortaya çıkmış enstrümanlar arasında yerini almıştır. Türev ürünler yatırımcılarına riskten korunma imkânı sunarken, aynı zamanda piyasa koşullarının önceden doğru tahmin edilmesi ile kârlılık sağlayan finansal araçlardır. Günümüzde her geçen gün işlem hacmi artan bu enstrümanların banka kârlılığı üzerine etkisinin analiz edilmesinin önem arz ettiği düşünülmektedir.

Buna göre araştırmada; Türk bankacılık sektöründe 2008 ile 2019 yılları arasında türev ürün kullanımı gösteren kamu sermayeli, özel sermayeli ve yabancı sermayeli mevduat bankalarının türev ürün kullanımlarının banka kârlılıkları üzerine etkisi analiz edilmiştir. Panel veri analiz yöntemi kullanılan çalışmada; kârlılık göstergesi olarak aktif kârlılık (ROA) ve özkaynak kârlılığı (ROE) yer almakta iken bu çalışmada literatüre katkı olarak “sürdürülen faaliyetler vergi öncesi kâr (zarar) / toplam aktifler ve net dönem kâr (Zarar) / ödenmiş sermaye” değişkenleri de kullanılmıştır. Araştırma neticesinde Türk bankacılık sektöründe faaliyet gösteren mevduat bankalarının türev finansal ürün kullanımları ile kârlılıkları arasında ters yönlü bir ilişkinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bankaların büyüklükleri ile kârlılık göstergeleri arasında ters yönlü ve takipteki kredilerin toplam krediler içerisindeki oranını temsil eden aktif kalitesindeki artışların ise beklenilenin tersine aktif kârlılık ve vergi öncesi kârlılık üzerinde negatif bir etkiye yol açmadığı sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

РЕЗЮМЕ
Аветик Исаакян неоднократно упоминал имя Федора Достоевского в числе любимых авторов мировой литературы, признавая психологический аспект
его влияния на свое творчество. Однако, этот вопрос исследователями связей
армянской и русской литератур не затрагивался.
В статье исследуется идея и природа связи рассказов Исаакяна «Одна неделя со смертником», «Курд Амо», «Байрам Али» с «Записками из Мертвого
дома» Достоевского, написанных на основе тюремных воспоминаний, и раскрываются общие послания этих авторов, принадлежащих к двум различным
культурам христианской цивилизации.
Эти рассказы с их единой философией, символикой и контекстом, имеют
определенные параллели с «Записками», в основе которых просматриваются
индивидуальные, мировоззренческие, а также ключевые жизненные и творческие совпадения.
Оба автора смотрят на ужасные страдания людей, наказанных общественным приговором, на человеческую трагедию с одной и той же точки зрения и
рассматривают их с тем же гуманизмом, милосердием, с той же христианской
философией и, хотя и разными художественными средствами, но «задают» по
сути одни и те же концептуальные вопросы-послания.
SUMMARY
Avetik Isahakyan repeatedly mentioned the name of Fyodor Dostoevsky
among his favorite great writers of world literature, while acknowledging his psychological impact and creative influence. However, the issue of the relationship between these great figures of Armenian and Russian literature was not addressed by
the researchers.
The article explores the nature and basis of the relationship between Isahakyan’s
stories “One Week with a Convict””, “Kurd Amo”, “Bayram Ali” and Dostoevsky’s
“Notes from the Dead House”, written on the basis of prison memoirs. It also reveals the common messages of these key figures in two different cultures of the
Christian civilization.
These stories, with a common philosophy, symbolism and context, have certain
parallels with the “Notes”, which are based on individual, worldview, as well as vital
and creative key coincidences.
Both authors look at the terrible suffering of people punished by a public
sentence, at human tragedy from the same point of view and consider them with
the same humane, merciful look, with the same Christian philosophy and, although using different artistic means, they “set” essentially the same conceptual
questions-messages.

Тип литературного портрета имеет уникальную роль и интересное развитие в мировой и армянской литературе. Он прошёл через века, претерпел различные изменения и достиг черезвычайно важной и интересной вехи в западноармянской литературе XIX и XX веков, и к этому жанру обращались многие западноармянские писатели и поэты. Помимо всего этого у литературного
портрета была и другая направленность: сатирическая, а сатирический портрет
был доведён до совершенства великими западноармянскими сатириками Акопом Пароняном и Ервандом Отяном.
Творчество великих западноармянских писателей продолжили армянские
писатели диаспоры, в том числе известный французско-армянский писатель
Ншан Пешикташлян, больше известный как сатирик. Пешикташлян вдохнул
новую жизнь в литературно-сатирический портрет, о чём свидетельствуют созданные им более сотни портретов, среди которых свое особое место имеет портрет Аршака Чопаняна.
Портрет выделяется разными достоинствами: идейными, художественными и т. д. Одним из них является великолепный язык и удивительно образная
речь, чему немало способствует обилие лингвистических средств выразительности, их правильное и уместное использование.
SUMMARY
The type of literary portrait has a unique role and interesting development
in the Armenian and world literature. It has passed through centuries, undergone
various changes and reached an extremely important and interesting milestone in the
Western Armenian literature of the 19th—20th centuries, and many Western Armenian
writers and poets turned to this genre. Apart from all this, literary portrait had another
orientation — the satirical one, and the satirical portrait was brought to perfection by
the prominent Western Armenian satirists Hagop Bаronian and Yervant Odian.
The works of the great Western Armenian writers were continued by Armenian
writers of the Diaspora, including the famous French-Armenian writer Nshan
Beshiktashlian, best known as a satirist. Beshiktashlian breathed new life into the
literary-satirical portrait, as evidenced by his more than a hundred portraits, among
which Arshag Chobanian’s portrait has a special place.
Portrait stands out for various merits: ideological, artistic, etc. One of them is the
magnificent language and amazingly figurative speech, which is greatly supported
by the abundance of linguistic means of imagery, their correct and appropriate use.

В 80-х годах прошлого столетия были раскопаны руины разрушенного
здания при выравнивании исторической части столицы Арташата. Для выяснения функционального значения вновь открытого памятника в 2003—2004 гг.
Арташатская археологическая экспедиция (руководитель Ж. Хачатрян) провела разведочные раскопки в юго-западной части равнины, в 100—150 метрах от
реки Аракс (Ерасх). Раскопки обнаружили в руинах великолепный старинный
памятник — общественную баню (II—III вв.), а также у развалин стен бани или
прямо на ней сомнительную средневековую постройку.
Из открытого на северо-западной стороне многогранного зала в результате
проведенных раскопков был получен богатый — из разновременных культурных
слоев археологических материал — глазурованная керамика, фаянс и т. д.
По предварительным наблюдениям (Ж. Хачатрян) баня позже была преобразована в постоялый двор для караванов (караван-сарай), а многогранный зал,
выходящий на северо-западную сторону — в рынок.
Среди глиняной посуды есть подборка глазурованной посуды, в основном
в виде подносов, ваз, чашек, стаканов и т. д., которые пока не имеют конкретного научного объяснения, кроме предположений, поскольку в обсуждаемый
период XIII—XIV и XV—XVII вв., к которому находки в основном и относятся
Арташат не упоминается как город или поселок ни в каких библиографических
или литографических источниках.
Мы полагаем, что единственное возможное объяснение или гипотеза заключается в том, что на территории исторического Арташата или в его окрестностях существовал постоялый двор для караванов (караван-сарай), предназначенный для обслуживания путешественников, странствующих в Иран, Среднюю Азию и за ее пределы.
SUMMARY
Ruins of buildings were discovered during the archaeological works carried out
in the 1980s in the south-western part of Artashat. In order to reveal the importance
of this monument, exploratory works were carried out on the western plateau,
100—150 meters far away from the Araks River. Excavations revealed a magnificent
ancient monument in the ruins — a public bathhouse (2nd —3rd centuries). Excavations
found a dubious medieval structure near the ruins of the bathhouse walls. Preliminary
observations allowed Zhores Kachatryan, head of the expedition, to assume that the
bathhouse was later converted into an inn for caravans (caravanserai), and a market
was built on the south-western part. The collection of pottery discovered in situ
consists of bowls, cups, dishes, glasses etc. The historical and lithographic sources
do not mention what type of residence Artashat was in the 13th—17th centuries.
The investigation of the pottery dating back to the 13th—17th centuries proved that
the caravanserai built on the way to Middle Asia and Iran was to take care of the
travelers’ needs. So, the discovered ruins probably belonged to these buildings.

Материалом статьи является незаконченный и посмертно опубликованный роман Дереника Демирчяна «Месроп Маштоц», художественным ядром которого является важнейшее событие армянской истории 301 г. н. э. — предпосылки изобретения письменности. В статье показаны основные тематические разделы художественного пространства романа, рассмотрены художественные формы политических, культурных и религиозных предпосылок изобретения письменности. Согласно концепции Демирчяна, выясняется роль мирских и духовных тайн в романе, в этом смысле показаны факторы национальной идентичности и достоинства, связанные с изобретением письменности. Ключевые фигуры Месропа Маштоца и Саака Партева подвергаются глубокому анализу, подчеркивается их усердие иметь армянскую письменность и желание сохранить для поколений свою духовную литературу на армянском языке, их обеспокоенность за армянскую государственность, за армянское самосознание и существование. Подчеркивается концепция Демирчяна, что все это взаимосвазано и не может существовать без армянской письменности.
The material of the article is Derenik Demirchyan’s unfinished and posthumously
published novel “Mesrop Mashtots”, the artistic core of which is the most important event of the Armenian history in 301 AD — the prerequisites for the invention of writing. The article shows the main thematic sections of the artistic space of the novel, examines the artistic forms of political, cultural and religious prerequisites of the invention of the writing. According to Demirchyan’s concept, the role of worldly and spiritual mysteries in the novel is elucidated. In this sense, the factors of national identity and dignity connected with the invention of writing are shown. The key figures of Mesrop Mashtots and Sahak the Parthian are analyzed in depth; their zeal to have an Armenian alphabet and their desire to preserve for generations their epic poetry in the Armenian language, their concern for the Armenian statehood, for the Armenian identity and existence are emphasized. Demirchyan’s concept that all of this is interrelated and cannot exist without the Armenian writing is highlighted.
The effectiveness of vaccination for preventing hospitalisation with COVID‐19 in regional Queensland: a data linkage study
Authors: Smoll Nicolas R , Al Imam Mahmudul Hassan , Schulz Connie , Booy Robert , Khandaker Gulam
Published: July 2023

Objective

To estimate the effectiveness of vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) for protecting people in a largely coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19)‐naïve regional population from hospitalisation with symptomatic COVID‐19.

Design

Retrospective cohort study; analysis of positive SARS‐CoV‐2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test results linked with Central Queensland hospitals admissions data and Australian Immunisation Register data.

Setting, participants

Adult residents of Central Queensland, 1 January – 31 March 2022.

Main outcome measures

Vaccine effectiveness (1 – relative risk of hospitalisation for vaccinated and unvaccinated people) with respect to protecting against hospitalisation with symptomatic COVID‐19 after primary vaccination course only (two doses of an approved SARS‐CoV‐2 vaccine) and after a booster vaccine dose.

Results

Positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test results were recorded during 1 January – 31 March 2022 for 9682 adults, 7244 of whom had been vaccinated (75%); 5929 people were aged 40 years or younger (62%), 5180 were women (52%). Forty‐seven people were admitted to hospital with COVID‐19 (0.48%), four required intensive care (0.04%); there were no in‐hospital deaths. Vaccine effectiveness was 69.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 44.3–83.8%) for people who had received only a primary vaccination course and 81.8% (95% CI, 39.5–94.5%) for people who had also received a booster. Of the 665 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander adults with positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test results, 401 had been vaccinated (60%). Six Indigenous people were hospitalised with symptomatic COVID‐19 (0.9%); vaccine effectiveness was 69.4% (95% CI, –56.5% to 95.8%) for Indigenous people who had received a primary vaccination course only or the primary course and a booster.

Conclusion

The hospitalisation rate for Central Queensland people with PCR‐confirmed Omicron variant SARS‐CoV‐2 infections during the first quarter of 2022 was low, indicating the protection afforded by vaccination and the value of booster vaccine doses.

Green Intellectual Capital as A Catalyst for Sustainable Performance (An Empirical Investigation in The Pakistani Hotel Industry)
Authors: Shahzad Khurram , Nawaz Muhammad , Shah Ansar Abbas , Ashraf Muhammad
Published: July 2023

The main objective of this study is to investigate how green intellectual capital impacts the accomplishment of sustainable performance along with the mediating significance of ambidextrous innovation and the moderating influence of environmental strategy. The study aimed to investigate the correlation among green intellectual capital, green ambidextrous innovation, and sustainable performance, along with the role of environmental strategy on this association. Data was gathered from 298 hotel employees in three cities of Pakistan through convenience sampling. The measurement and structure models have been analyzed using Smart PLS 3-SEM. Additionally, SPSS was used for demographic and descriptive analysis of the collected data. According to the study's results, it appears that green intellectual capital acts as a catalyst, while green ambidextrous innovation has a considerable influence on sustainable performance. Moreover, green ambidextrous innovation functions as an intermediary in the connection between green intellectual capital and sustainable performance. The findings also suggest that environmental strategy moderates negatively and weakens the link between green ambidextrous innovation and sustainable performance. This study has made several significant contributions to the existing literature on green intellectual capital and green ambidextrous innovation. One noteworthy aspect of this research is its focus on exploring the role of green intellectual capital in promoting the sustainability of businesses, with a specific emphasis on the hotel industry of Pakistan.

Published: July 2023

The rapid development and popularity of online media technology, live commerce platforms have emerged and are rapidly developing. Live commerce has become not only a simple form of entertainment, but also an important means for consumers to obtain information and to communicate. Nowadays, the e-commerce live broadcast jointly created by live broadcast and e-commerce has created a lot of attention. Especially with the rapid development of self-media, there are many influencers in the live commerce. These influencers sharing and disseminating product infonnation will have an impact on the consumer's choice, and then influence the consumer's purchase intention. This dissertation focuses on the influence of influencers on consumers' consumption choices of goods in live commerce. Therefore, this study clarifies the concept of influencer and consumers' purchase intention by sorting out the prior studies on influencers and their four characteristics namely professionalism, credibility, attractiveness and interactivity. Furthermore, this study introduces two mediating variables, flow and perceived value, and constructs a corresponding research model. Samples were collected by means of questionnaires and empirical analysis was conducted using SPSS 23.0 and Smart PLS 4.0(Structural Equation Package) to verify the hypotheses. The following conclusions are drawn. First, professionalism has no effect on flow thus, H1-1 is rejected; attractiveness has no effect on flow thus, H1-3 is also rejected. HI is partially adopted. Second, professionalism has no effect on perceived value thus, H2-1 is rejected. H2 is partially adopted. Third, flow positively influences purchase intention thus, H3 is adopted. Fourth, perceived value positively influences purchase intention thus, H4 is adopted.

Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Won Mi-Hong
Published: July 2023

Conspiracy to consume luxury goods to increase one's reputation is called conspicuous consumption. The act of purchasing a product or service to show off one's wealth. Conspiracy consumption is a way of demonstrating social status, particularly when a product or service is publicly displayed and distinguishes itself from other consumers. Buying and flaunting luxury is becoming an important factor in many people's present and daily lives. After examining the factors influencing materialism and conspicuous consumption, this study examines the relationship between materialism and conspicuous consumption and continuous intention. The thesis was expanded to include self-esteem, public self-consciousness, fashion, and demands for originality as factors influencing materialism and conspicuous consumption. For the study, 276 data were collected through an online survey. 270 respondents were found to be valid. Structural equation modeling technique was used for the study, and the model was verified using the obtained data. This study used Smart PLS 4.0 and IBM SPSS version 23.0. This study aims to explore mate1ialism and conspicuous constunption. The primaiy objective is to explore the relationship between antecedent variables (self-esteem, public self-consciousness, fashion, demand for originality, materialism, conspicuous consumption, and continuous intention). The results of the analysis showed that self-esteem, public self-consciousness, fashion, and demands for originality had a positive effect on conspicuous consumption. Fashion and the demand for originality had a positive effect on materialism. The overall model fit index supports the proposed hypothesis.
Effects of Carbon Neutral Renewable Energy Characteristics on Government Policy, Corporate Development and Consumer Purchase Intention: Focusing on Electric Vehicles in China
Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Wang Shuli
Published: July 2023

Climate change affects each of us and has significant implications for the global economy. Replacing gasoline-powered vehicles with electric cars is key to reducing carbon emissions in transportation systems around the world. The popularity of electric cars has accelerated in recent years. Since 2012 global sales of electric vehicles have grown 56% year on year. Its sales in 2021 doubled from the previous year to 6.75 million units, a record high. In the coming years, many governments have introduced policies to limit or even ban the production of fuel cars, while reducing or exempting taxes on electric vehicles. Governments and businesses around the world are investing heavily in charging facilities. Compared to fuel vehicles, new generation constuners are more likely to buy electric vehicles. This will continue to drive growth in the supply and demand for electric vehicles. The transition from gasoline vehicles to electric vehicles is a global structural change that will offer enormous potential opportunities for market participants. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of the characteristics of renewable energy under the background of carbon neutrality on government policy, corporate development and consumers' purchasing intentions. The research object is the consumers of electric vehicles in China, and the statistical analysis used SPSS 23.0 and Smatt PLS 4.0. The results of the study are as follows. First, continuity has had a significant impact on government policy. Second, circularity has had a significant impact on government policy. Third, economics has had a significant impact on government policy. Fourth, persistence had a significant effect on enterprise development. Fifth, circularity had a significant impact on enterprise development. Sixth, economicality had a significant impact on enterprise development. Seventh, government policies have had a significant impact on consumers' buying intentions. Eighthly, enterprise development had a significant influence on consumers' buying intention. Through this study, it has been confirmed that if the characteristics of renewable energy are clear, consumers' intention to purchase electric differential vehicles increases.
Sclerochoroidal Calcification Leads to Diagnosis of Primary Parathyroid Cancer
Authors: Wilson Sarah , Brown Michelle
Published: July 2023

Introduction

There are many innocuous retinal findings which arise from normal age-related change. It is important to distinguish sclerochoroidal calcifications (SCC) as either benign or malignant. Sclerochoroidal calcifications are pale, elevated fundus lesions found in the sclera, choroid, and/ or retina that originate from excess calcium deposition onto normal tissue. This uncommon finding is often benign, and the patient suffers no visual or systemic complications. However, in rare circumstances, these retinal lesions can originate from potentially harmful systemic conditions. A careful ophthalmic and systemic work up is needed to determine the lesion’s etiology and if intervention is required. This case demonstrates a causal relationship between a SCC fundus lesion and primary parathyroid cancer.

Initial reports suggest we should expect a sharp rise in levels of depression, anxiety and loneliness. The pandemic could have implications for those already suffering from addiction, OCD, and eating disorders. Concerns have prompted a number of initiatives supporting mental well-being. These include guidance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Public Health England (PHE), resources from the devolved administrations, and formation of the Help Hub, a service set up by volunteer therapists.
COVID-19 and the disadvantage gap
Authors:   Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, Lally Clare , Bermingham Rowena
Published: July 2023

Disadvantaged pupils tend to have lower educational attainment compared with their peers; this is often called the disadvantage gap. School closures, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, are likely to have widened the disadvantage gap. This is because disadvantaged pupils tend to have less access to technology, spend less time learning and have reduced support from parents/carers compared with their peers.

Published: July 2023

During the first 6 months of the pandemic, people from ethnic minority groups were more likely to have COVID-19 disease and also more likely to experience severe outcomes from infection, including death. Lockdown measures have also disproportionately affected some communities more than others. What is driving this increased prevalence and death rates in ethnic minority groups? To what extent is it due to biology or pre-existing health? Or does it represent a continuation and exacerbation of social inequalities?

A new species of Metafruticicola (Gastropoda, Hygromiidae) from the Aegean Archipelago and new anatomical and distributional data on some congeneric species

Published: July 2023

Metafruticicola is a diverse land snail genus inhabiting the north-eastern Mediterranean region from S Albania to Israel. In this study, we describe Metafruticicola kavafis sp. nov., a new species for science from Kasos Island. We also focus on the reproductive system of steno-endemic species and subspecies of the genus from small islands of the Aegean Archipelago, whose anatomy was previously completely unknown. These species are M. crassicosta, M. pieperi, M. coartata gemina and M. nicosiana conciliatrix. For the latter subspecies, only the outlines of the genitalia were previously given. Additionally, we investigated in detail for the first time the genital anatomy of M. nicosiana nicosiana from Cyprus. Hitherto, information on the genital apparatus of this subspecies was based on sparse data derived from sexually immature specimens. These new anatomical data contribute to a plethora of controversies concerning the subgeneric division of Metafruticicola, which was based solely on conchological features and especially the microsculpture of the teleoconch. We suggest that the current subgeneric division of the genus should be abandoned.
