A neglected anthropogenic source of carbon triggered by the combustion of coal: evidence from riverine sulfate
Authors: Wang Ye , Li Xuming , Li Shilei , Hedding David William , Chen Jun , Chen Yang
Published: September 2023

To effectively reduce CO2 emissions, it’s vital to identify and quantify
their sources. While the focus has been on CO2 from fossil fuel
combustion, especially coal, the CO2 produced from coal’s other
elements, such as sulfur, through chemical reaction, remains an
‘invisible’ carbon source. We analyzed the invisible carbon flux due to
coal burning in the Xijiang River Basin, a highly industrialized region
in China, using river sulfate fluxes. Dissolved sulfate concentration in
the Xijiang River rose by over 300% from 1985 to 2011, largely due to
coal combustion. In 2011, this resulted in 3.14 Mt of invisible carbon
dioxide. We evaluated the impact of two flue gas desulfurization (FGD)
methods on carbon emissions using a predictive model. By enhancing SO2
removal efficiency through these methods, China could cut invisible
carbon emissions by 27.8 Mt CO2 annually, paving the way for a
sustainable future.
The Unreasonable Efficiency of Total Rain Evaporation Removal in Triggering Convective Self-Aggregation
Authors: Hwong Yi-Ling , Muller Caroline
Published: September 2023

The elimination of rain evaporation in the planetary boundary layer
(PBL) has been found to lead to convective self-aggregation (CSA) even
without radiative feedback, but the precise mechanisms underlying this
phenomenon remain unclear. We conducted cloud-resolving simulations with
two domain sizes and progressively reduced rain evaporation in the PBL.
Surprisingly, CSA only occurred when rain evaporation was almost
completely removed. The additional convective heating resulting from the
reduction of evaporative cooling in the moist patch was found to be the
trigger, thereafter a dry subsidence intrusion into the PBL in the dry
patch takes over and sets CSA in motion. Temperature and moisture
anomalies oppose each other in their buoyancy effects, hence explaining
the need for almost total rain evaporation removal. We also found
radiative cooling and not cold pools to be the leading cause for the
comparative ease of CSA to take place in the larger domain.
Social media users’ concerns regarding algorithmic news personalisation
Authors: Ninkovic-Slavnic Danka , Milivojevic Snjezana
Published: September 2023

The paper asks if social media users are concerned regarding algorithmic news
personalisation and how their concerns connect with other factors. We took
the influential concepts of echo chambers and filter bubbles as a starting
point to explore three dimensions of concern about news personalisation:
missing important information, missing opposite opinions and jeopardizing
privacy because of personalised news. The survey among social media news
users (N=1481) shows that concern exists, but more than a third of users do
not have an evident attitude regarding news personalisation. Additionally,
the concern is connected with knowledge about the algorithmic selection
process, the importance of social networks in users? media repertoire and,
to a small extent, negative attitude towards the selection principle. The
findings contribute to our understanding of users? perspectives on news
personalisation which is particulary relevant considering the increasing use
of personalised news and the fact that it is individual citizens?
responsibility to be accurately and comprehensively informed in a media
environment where the news content is fragmented.
Crystals Influence the Body through our Weak Nonlinear Electromagnetic Field (NEMF)
Authors: Kuman Maria
Published: September 2023

In article [1], we presented our measurements about the effect of crystals on the human health and wellbeing. In the present article, we are going to explain how this is done. In [2], we used nonlinear mathematical model to describe the effect of acupuncture treatment. Nonlinear equations have more than one solution and our nonlinear equation had two solutions-electric impulse and wave. Electric impulses generated at acupuncture treatment and propagating along the acupuncture meridian were already measured in China. However, nobody has measured waves generated at acupuncture treatment and propagating along the acupuncture meridian.

Published: September 2023

High levels of carbohydrate consumption, especially starch, are considered to be an important risk factor for diabetes mellitus (DM). Conjugation of starch with phenolic compounds those have antidiabetic activity such as catechin is suggested increase health benefit of the starch.  Objective of this research was to find out optimal catechin concentration that was able to be conjugated into corn starch to produce conjugated starch with high antidiabetic and antioxidant properties. The synthesis of starch-catechin conjugates used free-radical grafting (FRG) by adding different concentration of catechin, namely 0%, 0,5%; 1%; 1,5%; and 2%. The result of the research indicates that increasing of catechin concentration grafted into starch increase the phenolic content of the starch. Conjugation of catechin into starch posed higher antidiabetic and antioxidant activities. Starch conjugated with 2.0% catechin had the best antidiabetic and antioxidant activities, therefore, it had potentiality to develop as functional starch for diabetes patients.
Yksityisen terveysvakuutuksen vaikutus terveyspalveluiden käyttöön
Authors: Linden Mika , Tuomainen Pasi
Published: September 2023

Vapaaehtoisten terveyskuluvakuutusten määrä on viimeisen 15 vuoden aikana Suomessa yli kaksinkertaistunut. Yksityisen terveysvakuutuksen avulla vakuutetut voivat hankkia nopeasti tarvitsemiaan terveyspalveluita, joita he välttämättä eivät pysty rahoittamaan omakustanteisesti. Vakuutuksella kotitaloudet pyrkivät täydentämään osin julkisen terveydenhuollon palvelun puutteita. Tutkimuksen empiirisessä osassa selvitetään BiProbit-mallin estimoinnin avulla lisääkö terveyskuluvakuutus terveyspalveluiden käyttöä. Tutkimusaineistona käytetään ISSP-ohjelman vuonna 2011 suomalaisille toteuttamaa kirje- ja puhelinkyselyä. Tulokseksi saadaan, että lääkäripalvelun käyttöaktiviteetin ja vapaaehtoisen terveyskuluvakuutuksen välillä on merkitsevä positiivinen yhteys.
Syövän vaikutukset puolison tuloihin ja työllisyyteen
Authors: Böckerman Petri , Kortelainen Mika , Salokangas Henri , Vaalavuo Maria
Published: September 2023

Vakavat sairaudet aiheuttavat merkittäviä taloudellisten resurssien menetyksiä perheissä. Tutkimuksessa tarkastelemme puolison syöpädiagnoosin vaikutuksia terveen puolison työmarkkinalopputulemiin. Tämän lisäksi tarkastellaan perheen kokonaistulojen kehitystä. Vaikutuksia tarkastellaan erikseen nais- ja miespuolisoille. Tutkimuksen analyyseissä käytetään hyväksi koko Suomen väestön kattavia Tilastokeskuksen sekä Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitoksen ylläpitämiä rekisteriaineistoja, joiden avulla voidaan tunnistaa syöpädiagnoosit ja puolisot. Havaitsemme, että syövän heijastusvaikutukset puolison työllisyyteen riippuvat iästä ja sukupuolesta. Eläkeiän lähestyessä syöpädiagnoosi johtaa naispuolisten puolisoiden työllisyyden todennäköisyyden ja ansiotulojen pieneen kasvuun, kun taas miesten tapauksessa vaikutus on päinvastainen. Nuoremmissa ikäluokissa emme kuitenkaan havaitse vastaavanlaisia vaikutuksia. Tuloksia selittänee se, että miehet ovat olleet naisia useammin kokopäiväisessä työssä ennen puolison sairastumista syöpään, joten työn tarjonnan lisääminen on vaikeampaa. Lisäksi koska miesten syövät päättyvät naisia useammin kuolemaan, syövän taloudelliset heijastusvaikutukset puolisolle ovat naisille suurempia. Tämä voi osaltaan vaikuttaa siihen, että puolison sairastuttua syöpään naiset lykkäävät eläköitymistään, kun taas miehet eivät. Tulokset osoittavat myös sen, että kotitalouksien kokonaistulot supistuvat vähemmän kuin ansiotulot. Tulonsiirrot tasoittavat tulosten perusteella siis merkittävästi vakavien sairauksien aiheuttamia tuloriskejä. Tutkimuksemme osoittaa, että vakavat sairaudet muovaavat kokonaisuudessaan varsin vähän suomalaisten perheiden työn tarjontaa koskevia päätöksiä ja työuria. Näiden vaikutusten parempi huomioiminen terveys- ja sosiaalipolitiikassa edesauttaa kuitenkin tulonsiirtojen optimaalista mitoitusta ja tuloriskien tasaamista. Tutkimuksemme osoittaa, että tulonsiirrot ylläpitävät Suomessa perheiden taloudellista vakautta sairaussokkien yllättäessä.
Kvasikokeelliset menetelmät terveydenhuollon ja terveystaloustieteen vaikutusarvioinneissa
Authors: Kortelainen Mika , Salokangas Henri
Published: September 2023

Terveystaloustieteen yksi keskeisimmistä käsitteistä on vaikuttavuus. Vaikutuksella viitataan usein siihen, millaiseksi tutkittavana olevan kohderyhmän kiinnostuksen kohteena oleva vaste kehittyy intervention jälkeen verrattuna tilanteeseen, jossa interventiota ei olisi tehty. Lääketieteessä vaikuttavuutta tutkitaan valtaosin satunnaistettuja kokeita hyödyntäen. Satunnaistettujen kokeiden rooli on perinteisesti ollut vähäisempi yhteiskuntatieteissä, vaikka laajoja yhteiskunnallisia kokeiluita on tehty ainakin 1970-luvulta lähtien.
Terveystaloustieteen lisäarvo terveydenhuollon toiminnan järjestämisen työkaluna on nähty ensisijaisesti priorisoinnissa ja resurssien vaihtoehtoisten käyttötarkoitusten systemaattisessa tarkastelussa, ei niinkään vaikutusarvioinnin saralla. Viime vuosikymmeninä otetut menetelmälliset edistysaskeleet taloustieteessä ja niiden sovellukset terveystaloustieteessä ovat edistäneet uskottavien tutkimusasetelmien tärkeää roolia vaikutusarvioinneissa. Monien tärkeiden terveystaloustieteellisten kysymysten tapauksessa varteenotettavin vaihtoehto vaikuttavuuden arviointiin on käyttää kokeellisten asetelmien sijasta havainnoivia kvasikokeellisia asetelmia ja niihin liittyviä ekonometrisiä menetelmiä. Kvasikokeellisten menetelmien merkittävänä etuna voidaan pitää niiden soveltumista moniin tärkeisiin terveyspolitiikkaa ja terveydenhuoltoa käsitteleviin kysymyksiin ja lisäksi se, että menetelmät mahdollistavat uskottavien vaikuttavuus- jakustannusvaikuttavuusarviointien tekemisen vastaavasti kuin satunnaistetut koeasetelmat.
Tässä artikkelissa esitellään satunnaistetut ja keskeisimmät kvasikokeelliset tutkimusasetelmat sekä niitä hyödyntäviä suomalaisia ja kansainvälisiä terveystaloustieteen tutkimuksia. Lisäksi artikkelissa arvioidaan ns. uskottavuusvallankumouksen vaikutusta terveystaloustieteelliseen tutkimukseen. Yhtenä tavoitteena on myös havainnollistaa opiskelijoille ja tutkijoille kvasikokeellisten asetelmien hyödyntämisen mahdollisuuksia erilaisissa ajankohtaisissa sosiaali- ja terveydenhuoltoa käsittelevissä kysymyksissä.

GNSS-Interferometric Reflectometry, spectral artifacts and sea level measurements in the Mediterranean Sea
Authors: Devoti Roberto , Bruni Sergio , Pietrantonio Grazia
Published: September 2023

Tidal sea level variations in the Mediterranean basin, although altered and amplified by resonance phenomena in confined sub-basins (e.g., Adriatic Sea), are generally confined within 0.5 meters and exceptionally up to 1.5 meters. Here we explore the possibility of retrieving sea level measurements using data from GNSS antennas on duty for ground motion monitoring and analyze the spectral outcomes of such distinctive measurements. We estimate one year of GNSS data collected on the Mediterranean coasts in order to get reliable sea level data from all publicly available data and compare it with collocated tide gauges. A total of eleven stations were suitable for interferometric analysis (as of 2021), and all were able to supply centimeter-level sea level estimates. The spectra in the tidal frequency windows are remarkably similar to tide gauge data. We find that the O1 and M2 diurnal and semidiurnal tides and MK3, MS4 shallow sea water tides may be disturbed by aliasing effects.
Association of urban green spaces with urban ecological zones
Authors: Bekisoglu Havva Ülgen , Keyis Nazife
Published: September 2023

Today urban development lacks ecological foundations in many cities of Turkey. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationship between urban green spaces and ecological zones in the sample of Aksaray/Turkey. In this study, a study design has been created to improve the urban ecological infrastructure and to associate the green space network with the ecological zones. This design is divided into four parts as data processing, landscape pattern of urban green spaces, analysis of the spatial boundaries of urban natural ecological zones, and determination of the importance of spatial regions by overlaying two different stratified analyses. This study proposes a methodological framework that can be integrated into efforts to identify ecological zones to increase the sustainability of urban ecology and green space quality. One potential limitation of the proposed methodology can be the lack of consensus and enthusiasm among the administrative actors regarding the issue. Therefore, it is recommended that the administrative bodies should be correctly informed by the relevant scholars and practitioners who are working on the subject.

Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE

Determine diagnostic yield of chest, abdomen, and 4-site screening to diagnose metastatic disease and secondary diseases of prognostic significance in dogs with oral cancer.

SAMPLE

Medical records from 381 dogs with histologically confirmed oral tumors that underwent preoperative screening were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS

Thoracic metastasis was diagnosed in 4.9% (0.9% odontogenic, 6.5% nonodontogenic) of oral tumors. Oral malignant melanoma and multilobular osteochondrosarcoma were most at risk. Abdominal metastasis was diagnosed in 2% of oral tumors (0% odontogenic, 3.1% nonodontogenic) and cytologically confirmed in 2 cases (0.6% [2/295)] of all abdominal ultrasounds (AUS) 5.5% [2/36] of all AUS that had cytology). Both cases had oral malignant melanoma. Incidental disease was diagnosed in 53.1% and 81.3% of thoracic and abdominal screenings, respectively. Major findings were more common in AUS (7.8%) compared to thoracic screening (1.9%). The prevalence of incidental findings was similar for odontogenic and nonodontogenic tumors. Both metastasis and major findings were diagnosed more commonly with thoracic CT compared to radiographs. Metastasis or a major finding of prognostic significance was diagnosed in at least 1 test in 27.8% of patients that had head CT, lymph node cytology, thoracic screening, and AUS (n = 115).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Major incidental findings were more commonly detected with AUS and were diagnosed in 1 in every 12 patients. However, metastatic disease was most commonly detected with thoracic screening. When all 4 screening tests are performed, there is an approximately 1 in 4 chance of diagnosing metastasis or major significant disease regardless of tumor type.
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are potential noninvasive methods for evaluating the cisterna chyli in cats
Authors: Martín Noemi Gómez , Miño Elisabet Domínguez
Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE

There is limited information on the normal appearance of the cisterna chyli (CC) in cats on CT and MRI. The aim of this retrospective study was to describe the CT and MRI characteristics of the CC in a group of cats without lymphatic system pathology.

SAMPLE

A total of 31 CT and 63 MRI images were obtained of client-owned cats between January 2017 and March 2022.

METHODS

The presence, location, shape, maximum width, MRI-signal intensity, mean attenuation, and contrast enhancement of the CC were recorded from CT and MRI scans.

RESULTS

The CC was identified in all the CT scans and in 60 MRI studies. The CC was located level with the cranial mesenteric artery in 56 of 91 cases. It was crescent shaped in 34 of 54 cases. On precontrast CT images, the mean attenuation of the CC was 17 HU, and the mean postcontrast attenuation was 28 HU. On T2-weighted sequences, the CC was isointense to CSF and hyperintense to the muscles, while on T1-weighted images, it was isointense to the muscles. Contrast enhancement was variable in both techniques.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

CT and MRI have the potential for noninvasive evaluation of CC in cats.
Identification of endoplasmic reticulum stress response genes in homologous vs. heterologous asf infections in vitro
Authors: Kholod Natalia , Koltsov Andrey , Vaskovic Nikola , Koltsova Galina
Published: September 2023

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for the production, processing and transport of proteins. Infection with pathogens activates Unfolded Protein Response (UPR), which can lead to their survival/replication or elimination from the body. Although little is known about the role of the ER stress response in the pathogenesis of viral infections, the regulation of ER stress may be important in intractable infectious diseases. We conducted a comparative analysis of the expression of genes involved in ER stress response in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from animals immunized with an attenuated strain of ASFV strain Congo-a (KK262) and then stimulated in vitro by two serologically different virulent strains Congo-v (K49) or Mozambique-v (M78), to expand our understanding of the early determinants of response to homologous and heterologous infection. We found up-regulation of genes of all three sensory molecules (PERK, ATF6 and IRE1) of UPR pathway in cells infected with only a homologous strain. For the first time, a number of up-regulated genes of the ER-associated degradation pathway (ERAD), which destroys misfolded proteins, were also detected. By understanding how viruses modify elements of cellular response to stress, we learn more about the pathogenesis, as well as how we can use it to prevent viral diseases.

Increasing tobacco control and public health awareness have increased smokers’ attempts to quit smoking. However, some smokers also seek alternative products claimed to pose less risks. The use of smokeless tobacco (ST) products may thus increase in some countries which are not traditionally ST markets. To provide a cross-sectional picture on ST usage in China, a survey was conducted from December 2019 to March 2020 in representative metropolitan cities (divided into three tiers by their populations and gross domestic product (GDP) sizes), from which 3,000 tobacco users and 801 ST users were randomly recruited to provide a snapshot of ST usage behaviour and other pertinent factors for Chinese tobacco users. The study included questionnaires designed to probe potential reasons behind ST use, usage habits, and nicotine dependence attributes. These questions were devised to cover the type of tobacco products used, users’ age, gender, city of residence, residence time, household monthly income, etc., and was supported by some verification questions. Mann-Whitney-analysis was used for significance analysis between different groups. The results showed that ST prevalence for Chinese tobacco users was around 2.1%. The proportion of exclusively ST use was about 8.99%, and the mean conversion time to habitual ST use was about three months. Demographic information such as the city tiers where ST users lived, their age, gender, educational and income levels appeared to correlate with ST use habits although more studies are needed to verify the observations. The fact that a small but measurable population of Chinese ST users exists has important implications for tobacco control. This study provides the first large-scale, single-time-point survey on Chinese ST user profiles, which may help the future research on tobacco control policy regarding ST products in China.

Published: September 2023

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a prevalent autoimmune disease predominantly affecting women of childbearing age, presents ongoing challenges despite notable advances in diagnosis and treatment. Although survival rates for SLE patients have significantly improved, pregnancy continues to pose a considerable obstacle. Addressing this critical need for enhanced reproductive and prenatal care, there is a pressing imperative to establish standardized protocols for peri-gestational monitoring and treatment in SLE patients. This guideline is jointly sponsored by the National Clinical Research Center for Dermatologic and Immunologic Diseases (NCRC-DID), the Chinese Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Treatment and Research Group (CSTAR), and the Chinese Research Committee of Pregnancy and Reproduction in Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases (CHOPARD). Thirteen pertinent clinical questions have been generated through several rounds of rigorous clinical and methodological expert discussions and selections for a comprehensive understanding of key aspects in this domain. Guided by thorough examination of research evidence and expert perspectives, the formulated recommendations aim to optimize pregnancy success rates, reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, and ultimately enhance the overall well-being of SLE patients.
Seronegative enthesoarthritis as the first presentation of the atrial myxoma

Published: September 2023

Atrial myxoma (AM) is the most common primary cardiac tumor. Its clinical presentation can be highly heterogeneous and can be characterized by many constitutional manifestations and development of rheumatologic symptoms.We report the case of a patient presenting with a seronegative arthritis characterized by articular and enthesis involvement and purpuric cutaneous lesions that was refractory to conventional treatments and that was later diag- nosed with an AM as first cause of the manifestations. AM can present with different symptoms; among them, it is able to cause some rheumatological manifestation as it is able to secrete proinflammatory cytokines, as interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and interferon γ (IFN-γ). The present case is of particular interest as it presents an AM as the cause of an inflammatory arthropathy with articular and enthesis involvement. A paraneoplastic screening is always relevant in rheumatology, especially when encountering a refractory disease.
Differences in the perception of foreign languages by MGIMO students
Authors: Virolainen A. , Kuvarina M. , Levchuk K.
Published: September 2023

This article presents a sociological study aimed to determine the differences in the perception of foreign languages by students who are considered polyglots and those who are not. The aim of the study is to identify the differences in the attitude of these groups of students to the language learning process in order to draw conclusions that could be useful in both teaching and learning foreign languages. The researchers used the focus group method. As a result, it was found out what reasons are behind the students’ choice of foreign languages they study, what difficulties arise when learning languages, why some students give up learning a particular language, and what can serve as a motivation to learn foreign languages. The object of the study is MGIMO students who, due to the traditions of the university, are characterised by “unconscious polyglottery”, a phenomenon associated with multilingualism as part of the daily life of this social group. The object was divided into three groups: polyglot students, non-polyglot students and the so-called intermediate group (those who are not polyglots, but can be regarded as students taking joy in learning languages). The results showed that the examined students from all the three groups face the same challenges in the language learning process: fatigue from routine tasks, an excessively voluminous curriculum, general workload at the university, and lack of time. The key difference is that the polyglot students have inner motivation to keep up their studies. The intermediate group has also managed to find non-external motives in the course of language learning, such as career prospects, a personal interest in culture, and personal beliefs. However, those considered non-polyglots did not succeed in finding an internal motivation of this kind and decided to give up studying their second foreign languages.
The foreign practice of large merger & acquisitions transactions in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry
Authors: SHIMKO Oleg V.
Published: September 2023

Subject. This article analyzes 12 major M&A deals in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry in 2000–2019. Industry indicators are measured on the basis of data from ExxonMobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, EOG Resources, Apache, Marathon Oil, Imperial Oil, Suncor Energy, Husky Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Royal Dutch Shell, BP, TOTAL, Eni, Equinor (Statoil), PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, Petrobras, PJSC Gazprom, PJSC NK Rosneft and PJSC LUKOIL.
Objectives. The article aims to examine the terms of M&A deals in the oil and gas stock market sector, as well as analyze the change and determine the current level of premium for control over equity capital in relation to market capitalization, and evaluate the consequences of concluded deals for the market capitalization of companies.
Methods. For the study, I used the methods of comparative, financial and economic analyses, summarizing financial reporting data.
Results. The article finds that market capitalization is the main benchmark for mergers and acquisitions in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry, but the difference between the market valuation of assets and liabilities can also be used. An increase in the level of premium for capital control is noted in the industry, which exceeded half of the market capitalization. Thus, the least acceptable combination of conditions for entering into agreements is the totality of factors, such as high oil prices, commensurate capitalization of companies, cash compensation for equity capital and a high premium for control. On the contrary, transactions that took place during a period of low oil quotations with compensation in the form of shares had the most favorable effect on subsequent market capitalization.
Conclusions and Relevance. It is necessary to pay close attention to the terms of mergers and acquisitions, in particular the control premium, as well as carefully calculate all the possible consequences of agreements concluded in the stock market sector of the oil and gas industry. The findings can help appraise the value of oil and gas assets as part of a comparative approach and decide on actions for raising the market capitalization of publicly traded oil and gas corporations.

The Roots of the Soviet-Syrian Alliance: A Neo-Gramscian Perspective
Authors: AKGÜDEN Muhterem , ATMACA Ayşe Ömür
Published: September 2023

The Soviet and Baath regimes enjoyed a consensual relationship between the 1940s and the 1980s. The nature of this relationship was shaped both by the need for an alliance in a period of Cold War bipolarity and by shared common ideological worldviews such as anti-imperialism and socialism. These relations were not free from pragmatism to a certain extent, as the degree of commitment to socialism and Pan-Arabism within the Baath Party sometimes fluctuated. Nevertheless, the generally close relationship between Syria and the USSR cannot be seen as a purely pragmatic strategy; rather, this relationship's ideational, institutional, and material dimensions must be considered as a whole. In this context, this article examines Soviet-Syrian relations from the perspective of neo-Gramscian hegemony to develop a framework for understanding these three key factors behind this alliance.

Stres günlük hayatın vazgeçilmez bir parçası olarak bireylerin hayatlarını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Stres bireylerde psikolojik veya fizyolojik değişimlere neden olarak ruh halini etkilediğinden yatırımcılar rasyonel karar alamayabilir. Stres altındaki yatırımcıların algıladıkları riskin yatırım kararlarını olumsuz yönde etkilemesi beklenmektedir. Bu amaçla çalışmada stresin bireylerin risk algıları üzerine etkisi incelenmektedir. Stres ve risk algısı ölçekleri kullanılarak 390 bireysel yatırımcıdan anket yöntemiyle veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler ile frekans analizi, açıklayıcı faktör analizi, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın hipotezleri yapısal eşitlik modeli ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda stresin risk algısı üzerine anlamlı ve pozitif yönde bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların hatalı işlem yapmalarının streslerini artırdığı belirlenmiştir. Katılımcılar üzülmektense daha az riskli yatırım araçlarına yönelerek güvende kalmayı tercih ettikleri bulgulanmıştır.

Hisse senedi piyaysasında fiyat oluşurken menkul kıymete ilişkin tüm bilgiler, fiyat oluşumunu etkilemektedir. Hisse senedi piyasalarında uzun hafızanın varlığı, ilgili piyasaların zayıf formda etkin olmadığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, 01/09/2008-30/09/2022 dönemine ilişkin İskandinav ülkeleri olan Danimarka, İsveç, Norveç ve Finlandiya hisse senedi piyasalarındaki volatilitede meydana gelen şok etkileri araştırılmıştır. Geweek ve Porter-Hudak testi ile bu ülkelerin volatilite serilerinde uzun hafıza parametresine ilişkin sıfır hipotezi reddedilmiştir. Ayrıca, Lo Modifiye Edilmiş R/S testi ile volatilite serisi ilgili kritik değerler aralığının üzerinde sonuç elde edilmiştir. Varyanstaki yapısal kırılmalar dikkate alınarak yinelenen kümülatif kareler toplamı (ICSS) yöntemi ile FIGARCH modeli uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada bulunan ülkelerden, Danimarka (d= 0.37064), Norveç (d=0.46677), İsveç (d=0.50199) ve Finlandiya (d=0.44732) sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu ülkelerin borsalarına ilişkin getiri serileri hemen dengeye ulaşmaktadır. Ancak, zayıf formda etkin olmayan volatilite serilerinin mevcut ve gelecekte oluşabilecek fiyatın, geçmiş fiyatlarından bağımsız olmadığına işaret etmektedir. Bu bulgular, İskandinav ülkelerin getiri serilerinde uzun hafıza özelliğinin bulunmadığını ancak volatilite serilerinde uzun hafıza özelliğinin varlığını ve dolayısıyla bu ülkelerin borsalarının volatilite serilerinin zayıf formda etkin olmadıklarının sonucu elde edilmiştir.

Toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin ve beklentilerinin çalışan kadınlar üzerinde etkisini gösterdiği alanlardan birisi de giyim tercihleridir. Kadınların giyim ve görünümlerini düzenlerken dikkat ettikleri unsurların neler olduğunu araştırmayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış ve 16 beyaz yakalı kadın çalışandan derinlemesine görüşmeler aracılığıyla veri toplanmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar kadının iş yeri giyimine dair toplumsal ve örgütsel beklentiler; iş yeri giyimi üzerinden cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ve iş yeri giyiminin kadın üzerindeki etkileri şeklinde gruplandırılmıştır. Sonuçlar genel olarak iş yerinde kadın çalışanların giysi tercihlerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine dair beklentilerle şekillendiğini veya şekillendirildiğini, kadınların iş yerlerinde giyimleri söz konusu olduğunda çoklu dengeleri gözetmek durumunda kaldığını ve giyimleriyle sürekli denetim altında hissettiklerini göstermektedir.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışma, 1993-2021 dönemi için 41 ülke üzerinde gerçekleştirilen analizle ülkelerin jeopolitik risk endeksleri ile askeri harcamaları arasında pozitif yönlü bir ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, yüksek jeopolitik riskin yüksek askeri harcamalara neden olacağı hipotezini test etmektir. Analizde Phillips ve Sul, (2007, 2009) kulüp yakınsama yöntemi kullanılarak, jeopolitik risk endeksi ve askeri harcamalar değişkenleri temelinde birbirine yakınsayan ülkeler gruplandırılmaktadır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre jeopolitik risk endeksi açısından 5 Kulüp ve askeri harcamalar açısından 4 Kulüp oluşmaktadır. En yüksek jeopolitik risk endeksine sahip ülkeler İngiltere, Rusya ve ABD iken en yüksek askeri harcamayı yapan ülkeler ABD, Rusya, Ukrayna, İsrail, Güney Kore, Meksika, Kolombiya ve Tunus'tur. En düşük jeopolitik risk endeksine sahip Şili, Peru ve Portekiz askeri harcamalar kategorisinde Kulüp 2 ve Kulüp 3’te kümelenmektedir. Jeopolitik risk endeksi ve askeri harcamalar kategorisinde ortak kulüplerde çakışan ülkeler Kulüp 1’de Rusya ve ABD; Kulüp 2’de Çin ve Fransa; Kulüp 3’te Almanya, Japonya, İtalya, Mısır ve Kulüp 4’te Venezuela, Arjantin, Filipinler, Güney Afrika, İsviçre, Endonezya ve Malezya’dır. Çakışan 15 ülkenin bulguları, jeopolitik risk endeksi yakınsayan ülkelerin askeri harcama miktarları da aynı kulüpte yakınsayarak bir nedensellik oluşturduğu değerlendirmesini sağlamaktadır. Ancak ampirik bulgular yüksek jeopolitik riskliliğin askeri harcamalar üzerindeki etkileri açısından ülkeler arasında farklılıklar olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır.
The Experience of Being Alive Through Poetry
Authors: Sarma Aveen , Mourphy Richard
Published: September 2023

It is viewed that poets and poetry readers mostly come to a disappointing idea from the community’s belief proclaiming poetry’s death and that poetry is in vain and it is a waste of time. Readers and poets keep wondering intensely that, if so, then how do their souls still recall the inspirational world of imagination? How do their souls travel into an imaginative world of thoughts creating a piece of art through some words that are of daily life experiences? William Wordsworth's poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, for instance, connects humanity and nature to make life more meaningful. The natural world provides human beings bliss, enabling them to overcome life challenges such as loneliness. The poet obtains happiness from the dancing daffodils and overcomes his loneliness. This togetherness between humanity and the natural world aids the poet in overcoming the challenges. The poem uses poetic devices, especially figurative language, that demands the readers to recall their experiences to understand them better. Like Campbell, Wordsworth has a positive view of the natural world because it enables the speaker to deal with sadness. Therefore, artists should acknowledge the significance of discourses while writing poems. The community, in addition to that,is called to reconsider their beliefs and observe that it is through poetry that our souls get nourished and call our daily life experiences. This study examines former beliefs to prove that poetry is the experience that keeps our souls alive.

Response to a critical reader of my essay on melancholy
Authors: Botero Toro Eduardo
Published: September 2023

With the title “Scientific perspective of emotional management in health professionals,” the reader presents a series of considerations based on “very respectful observations and reflections”, five in total, to which I wish to respond after thanking the Journal and the reader because with its publication it contributes to stimulating the healthy debate that must exist in the field of knowledge that defines human behavior as an object. But first I want to state that, with the publication of my essay, I move away from any mood aimed at managing emotions in health professionals, whatever this means. Like everyone who publishes, I am encouraged by the desire to be read and the critical reader testifies to this, but, following the line of argument of his criticism of my essay, I depart from considering that the readers of this magazine are waiting for healthy recommendations for their ways of life. With Foucault, I share the radical criticism he makes of this type of psychoanalysis - and other so-called behavioral sciences - that tend to become preaching. I suppose (and desire) an adult reader and able to discern with my writing, in favor or not of this content. As in any essay, I use a vital experience that continues to be nourished by conceptual references produced from various areas of knowledge to fulfill one of the essential objectives of any essay: to investigate a topic and involve the reader and, finally, does not require exhaustiveness and declares mandatory the subjectivity of the essayist with total freedom in the structure, the tone and style of the text.

Criterios de acceso a los programas de parentalidad. El caso de la ciudad de Zaragoza (España)
Authors: Esteban-Carbonell Elisa , Carnicero-Hernández Enrique , Del Olmo-Vicén Nuria
Published: September 2023

A pesar de las variaciones en las estructuras familiares, los especialistas determinan un conjunto común de funciones fundamentales de la institución familiar; la ausencia o déficit de éstas genera las denominadas “familias en riesgo”, objeto de atención de los servicios sociales. Si bien los servicios sociales priman en su gestión el principio de universalidad, su aplicación resulta difícil. El artículo examina cuáles son las principales variables que determinan la accesibilidad en los programas de ayuda a las familias en los servicios sociales. El estudio se realizó a partir del análisis de 118 expedientes de las familias usuarias del Programa de Apoyo a las Familias del Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza recogidos durante los años 2011 a 2016, así como a partir de las entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a sus educadores sociales. Las principales conclusiones evidencian que las variables de acceso al programa –dentro del elenco de familias en riesgo- son mayoritariamente económicas y de salud; incidiendo así en la tradicional imagen estigmatizadora de los servicios sociales.
