The placental growth factor (PGF) is differentially expressed in the primary tumors of breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

Trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeted against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is utilized for the treatment of human breast cancer (1, 2), but a complete understanding of how tumor signal transduction is modulated by trastuzumab treatment is lacking. By mining published and public microarray and gene expression data (3, 4) from the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, we found that the placental growth factor, encoded by PGF was among the genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab, and expressed at lower levels in the tumors of patients treated with trastuzumab. Thus, the use of trastuzumab in patients with breast cancer is associated with increased expression of a growth factor that is chemotactic, angiogenic (5) and important for growth of blood vessels in the brain (6).

Dosa-Dosa Besar
Authors: Filah Nafilah
Published: November 2020

Tulisan ini membahas tentang dosa besar menyekutukan Allah dan tujuh macam dosa besar dalam persekti hadis. asil dari penelitian ini adalah dosa-dosa besar merupakan segala larangan yang berasal dari Allah maupun rasulnya. dosa-dosa besar sangat banyak jumlanya diantaranya: syirik, durhaka terhadap kedua orang tua, membunuh jiwa tanpa hak, saksi palsu, sihir, menuduh mukminat berzina, membunuh anak karena takut miskin, memakan harta anak yatim, memakan harta riba, lari dari medan perang, berzina dengan istri tetangga dan lainnya. Selain itu durhaka terhadap orang tua juga merupakan dosa besar dan termasuk dosa yang membinasakan. Sudah sepatutnya kita harus taat terhadap keduanya sesuai dengan syariat islam. Namun demikian, dari sekian banyak dosa yang tergolong kepada dosa-dosa besar, dosa musyrik menempati urutan paling atas (yang terbesar) dari dosa-dosa besar lainnya. Adapun dosa-dosa besar lainnya yang tidak tercantum dalam hadis di atas, tetapi menjadi kriteria dosa besar dalam hadis yang lain, diantaranya adalah durhaka terhadap orang tua, membunuh anak karena kekhawatiran, menambah kemiskinan, persaksian palsu atau dusta, khianat dalam perkara ghanimah, zina, mencuri, meminum minuman keras, memisahkan dari al-jama’ah, menebar fitnah, melanggar bai’at, dan tidak membersihkan air kencing.

Published: November 2020

Statistical network models describing multivariate dependency structures in psychological data have gained increasing popularity. Such comparably novel statistical techniques require specific guidelines to make them accessible to the research community. In this literature, researchers have previously provided tutorials guiding the estimation of networks and their accuracy. However, there is currently little guidance in determining what parts of the analyses and results should be documented in a scientific report. A lack of such reporting standards may foster researcher degrees of freedom and could provide fertile ground for questionable reporting practices. Here, we introduce reporting standards for network analyses in cross-sectional data, along with a tutorial and two examples. The presented guidelines are aimed at researchers as well as the broader scientific community, such as reviewers and journal editors evaluating scientific work. We conclude by discussing how the network literature specifically can benefit from such guidelines for reporting and transparency.
Is there anything good about atheists? Exploring positive and negative stereotypes of the religious and nonreligious
Authors: Moon Jordan W , Krems Jaimie , Cohen Adam B.
Published: November 2020

Negative stereotypes about atheists are widespread, robust, rooted in distrust, and linked to discrimination. Here, we examine whether social perceivers in the US might additionally hold any positive stereotypes about atheists (and corresponding negative stereotypes of the religious). Experiments 1 (N = 401) and 2 (N = 398, preregistered) used methods of intuitive stereotypes (the conjunction fallacy). People tended to stereotype atheists as fun, open-minded, and scientific—even as they harbor extreme intuitive anti-atheist prejudice in Experiment 2. Experiment 3 (N = 382) used a quasi-behavioral partner-choice paradigm, finding that most people choose atheist (versus religious) partners in stereotype-relevant domains. Overall, results suggest that people simultaneously possess negative and also positive stereotypes about atheists, but that corresponding negative stereotypes of the religious may be even stronger. These effects are robust among the nonreligious and somewhat religious, but evidence is mixed about whether the highly religious harbor these positive stereotypes.
Global Trends on Studies with Cognitive Training: Mapping and Bibliometric Analysis Using CiteSpace
Authors: Karim Mani Abdul , Venkatachalam J
Published: November 2020

The widespread utility of cognitive training has enhanced its value throughout the lifespan of human being by the way of maintaining cognitive performance, reducing neuropsychiatric illnesses, restoring its abilities and preventing cognitive decline. The objective of this study was to investigate the global trend of the literature related to cognitive training research. Publication records related to cognitive training were obtained from web of science (WoS) core collection during the period between 1996 and 2020. CiteSpace 5.7.2.0 version software was used mapping and bibliometric analysis. The extracted records were analyzed by using bibliometric approaches such as dual-overlay analysis, author co-citation analysis (ACA), document co-citation analysis (DCA) and keyword analysis. Overall, 4,528 records were retrieved during the period between 1996 and 2020. It was found that the publication records were increased steadily on recent five years (2016-2020). The US academic institutions and journals were still played a dominant role on cognitive training field. However, University College London (UCL) is the highest publication records (108) and centrality value (0.10). Through the document co-citation analysis(DCA), it was found that applying cognitive training on various diseases viz., alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and Parkinson disease as the predominant trending, followed by training effects, interventions among school-age children, as well as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stand out on the studies of cognitive training research. The most recent burst keywords such as ‘age difference,’ ‘brain plasticity,’ ‘cognitive intervention,’ ‘validation,’ and ‘virtual reality’ were considered to be the indicators of emerging trends.
A multilevel model for coalition governments: Uncovering party-level dependencies within and between governments.
Authors: Rosche Benjamin
Published: November 2020

Coalition research increasingly emphasizes party-level explanations of coalition outcomes. However, this work does not account for the complex multilevel structure between parties and governments: many parties participate in multiple governments and governments often comprise multiple parties. In this paper, I demonstrate that this crisscrossing structure creates dependencies among observations both across and within governments. If ignored, these dependencies lead to downward-biased regression coefficients and standard errors, which cluster-robust standard errors do not correct. I then introduce a model that extends the multiple-membership multilevel model to represent the multilevel structure of coalition government data. The model accounts for dependencies across governments by including party effects in all coalitions they participate and for dependencies within governments by modeling the total party effect on a government as the weighted sum of each coalition party’s effect. By allowing party weights to vary based on covariates describing their interrelationships, the model enables researchers to examine the interdependent nature of coalition outcomes. Through simulation and an empirical application to coalition government survival, I validate the proposed model and show that ignoring the crisscrossing multilevel structure can lead to erroneous conclusions at all levels of analysis. The R package ‘rmm’ is provided to estimate the model.
The Perceived Deservingness of COVID-19 Health Care: A Conjoint Experiment on Priority Access to Intensive Care and a Vaccine
Authors: Reeskens Tim , Roosma Femke , Wanders Evelien
Published: November 2020

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, governments, supported by health experts and ethicists, released guidelines about which groups should receive priority access to both (intensive) care and vaccines as resources are limited. To achieve political legitimacy, support from the general public is important, as deservingness theory informs us that not all groups are equally perceived as deserving of assistance. Relying on a probability-based sample representative of the Dutch population (N = 1,601), participants were offered two choice-based conjoint experiments that measured what deservingness criteria matter most in respectively priority access to intensive care, and priority access to a COVID-19 vaccine. The results foremost show that noncompliance with government measures aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus impedes perceived deservingness. By contrast, being employed in the ‘crucial’ sector (i.e. health care and to a lesser extent education), leads to a higher perceived priority. Having an unhealthy BMI leads to less support for priority access to intensive care and vaccines. Age shows mixed patterns: public opinion would give less priority to elderly patients for intensive care. These results indicate that, control and reciprocity over need are important criteria to determine people’s deservingness of COVID-19 health care. We discuss our findings in light of ongoing ethical discussions.
The Impact of Covid-19 on Trump’s Electoral Demise
Authors: Pardos-Prado Sergi , Neundorf Anja
Published: November 2020

Did the Covid-19 crisis have a significant effect on Trump's electoral demise? We present survey experimental evidence on two substantial effects of the pandemic. First, the unprecedented economic downturn significantly depressed Trump's popular support across all partisan groups, and especially among middle-low and low-income respondents. Second, the poor public health record of the Trump administration reduced its electoral prospects in 25 percentage points among citizens aged between 55 and 70 years old. By contrast, populist attitudes proved to have a negligible effect on the outcome. We conclude that the 2020 election was a normal contest compatible with theories of economic voting and political competence. Our results cast doubts on the role of populism as a major and permanent electoral driver of Trump’s base, and suggest that democratic accountability is a powerful determinant of the fate of political outsiders once in power.
Beyond Life and Death. Investigating Cryopreservation Practices in Contemporary Societies
Authors: Lemke Thomas
Published: November 2020

Cryopreservation practices are an essential dimension of contemporary life sciences. They make possible the freezing and storage of cells, tissues and other organic materials at very low temperatures and the subsequent thawing of these at a future date without apparent loss of vitality. The article presents some initial ideas and central theses of a research project recently funded by the European Research Council (ERC). The CRYOSOCIETIES project is based on the thesis that in contemporary societies, cryopreservation practices bring into existence a new form of life: “suspended life”. “Suspended life” enables vital processes to be kept in a liminal state in which biological substances are neither fully alive nor dead. CRYOSOCIETIES examines the creation of “suspended life” through three ethnographic studies that investigate various sites of cryopreservation. The first deals with cord blood banking with the promise to store vitality and ensure health; the second addresses oocyte freezing to extend fertility and rearrange reproductive futures, while the third case study focusses on the emergence of “frozen zoos”, that is to say cryobanks which seek to preserve organic material of endangered or extinct animal species. The conclusion will rehearse the central aspects of the proposed project and point to further directions of research.
Consumer preferences for meat products blended with plant-based 1 proteins in Germany
Authors: Profeta Adriano , Baune Marie
Published: November 2020

High levels of meat consumption are increasingly being criticised for ethical, environmental, andsocial reasons. Plant-based meat substitutes have been identified as healthy sources of proteinin comparison to meat. This alternative o?ers several social, environmental and health benefitsand may play a role in reducing meat consumption. However, there has been a lack of researchon how specific meat substitute attributes can influence consumers to replace or partially replacemeat in their diets.Research demonstrates that in many countries consumers are highly attached to meat.They considerit as an essential and integral element of their daily diet. For these consumers which arenot interested in vegan or vegetarian alternatives to meat, so-called meathybrids could be a lowthresholdoption for a more sustainable food consumption behaviour. In meathybrids only afraction of the meat product (e.g. 20% to 50%) is replaced with plant-based proteins.In this paper, the results of an online survey with 500 German consumers are presented with focuson preferences and attitudes relating to meathyrids. The results show that more than fifty percentof consumers substitute meat at least occasionally. Thus, about half of the respondents reveal aneligible consumption behaviour in respect to sustainability and healthiness to a certain degree.Concerning the determinants of choosing either meathybrid or meat it becomes evident that thehighest e?ect is exerted by the health perception. The healthier meathybrids are perceived, thehigher is the choice probability. Thus, this egoistic motive seems to outperform altruistic motiveslike animal welfare or environmental concerns when it comes to choice for this new productcategory
Physico-theoretical basis of the mesoscopic approach to the study of soil and climatic regulations
Authors: Сhichulin Alexander V.
Published: November 2020

Aim of the study. The aim of the work was to review critically the practice of applying system approach in soil research and identify existing problems; to consider the cognitive potential of micro- and macroscopic approaches in computational simulation of soil-bioclimatic regularities.

Methodology. Mathematical simulation.

Results of the study. A new mesoscopic approach to the study of the structure of soil-bioclimatic areas is proposed. It is based on two principles referred to as the principle of invariance and the principle of optimality. Application of these principles makes it possible to express the regularities in soil-climate relationship in the form of a single universal quantitative dependence. The study showed that a mathematical model built on the basis of these principles resulted in the emergence of new generalized concepts, logically combining the previously considered to be unrelated concepts of hydro- and thermal series introduced by V.R. Volobuev, the Vysotsky - Ivanov moisture coefficient and the radiation dryness index by M. Budyko. In addition, the simulation showed that the concepts elucidating the indicator of the radiation energy utilization by biogeocenosis were represented by the interrelated coefficients of the heat and precipitation utilization in soils. The coefficients were also shown to have specific values ​​for different soil-bioclimatic areas. On the basis of the new indicators, soils were grouped in such a way as to produce patterns essentially different in many details from the conventional grouping.

Conclusions. The new concepts represent a unified integral system, and the approach as a whole can be considered as an alternative physico-theoretical way to describe natural laws and regularities by using extreme (variational) methodology.
Significance of Literature Review in the Research of Social Sciences
Authors: Parajuli Jagat Prasad
Published: November 2020

Literature review is a preparatory work that enables a researcher to take up motivating future research. Literature review often makes a researcher an expert specialist of specific subject. Literature review is not just a report that summaries articles or books but it provides a description, summary as well as the critical evaluation of a scholarly work. The purpose of literature review is to provide background information, to establish importance, to demonstrate reliability and to carve out a space for further addition to research. Review of the literature is very essential and important for the proposed research writing. It’s always helpful for the researcher throughout his research work. Without surveying the relevant literature, no one can identify the research problem. So review of literature is the backbone of the research problem. Most of the other elements of the proposal are related with it. Reviewing the literature provides the guideline to the researcher to complete his proposed research oriented studies. Research is a process of knowing causes and effects of the events. Research is essential to know the fact; because seeing, hearing and feeling may be different than the reality. Knowing from such activities does not have the proof and such knowledge would not be believable to the others. But the knowledge gained from a researcher is proved by evidences and that is believed by others. Such work is known as a scientific research and it provides us reliability, authenticity and validity of the relevant social phenomenon.

Radykalny weganizm osób kolorowych
Authors: Poks Małgorzata
Published: November 2020

Niniejszy esej podnosi kwestię skomplikowanych związków między szowinizmem gatunkowym i rasizmem. Podczas gdy wyostrzona wrażliwość na cierpienie słabszego i doświadczenia w walce o równouprawnienie społeczne powinny pomagać przerzucić pomost między interesami skolonizowanych zwierząt ludzkich i pozaludzkich, w świadomości kolorowych mieszkańców społeczeństw osadniczych weganizm postrzegany jest zazwyczaj jako styl życia uprzywilejowanego białego człowieka - kolonizatora. Na skutek uwewnętrznienia kolonialnych koncepcji tożsamości praktykujący kolorowy weganin czuje się często wyobcowany ze swojej własnej kultury. Do demontażu matrycy kolonialności i solidarnej walki o świat wolny od wszelkich form opresji nawołują najbardziej w ostatnich latach aktywni  kolorowi weganie. Analizie ich poglądów poświęcona jest główna część eseju.
Popularyzowanie diet bezmięsnych w oparciu o koncepcję krążenia wzorców konsumpcyjnych Thorsteina Veblena
Authors: Mamzer Hanna
Published: November 2020

Biologiczne przesłanki wskazują na to, że dieta ludzka, powinna być zbliżona do szympansiej. Jako gatunek,homo sapiens sapiens, nie jest stricte mięsożerny. Społeczno-kulturowe uwarunkowania doprowadziły do sytuacji powszechnego spożywania mięsa. Na spożywanie mięsa w niektórych częściach globu wpływa też swoisty klimat, który utrudnia lub wręcz uniemożliwia pozyskiwanie produktów roślinnych (choćby w Mongolii, Kirgistanie, regionach polarnych). Człowiek nie tylko je mięso, ale nadaje mu też silne kulturowe naznaczenia (spożywanie mięsa białego- powszechnie przypisuje się kobietom, podczas kiedy mężczyźni „powinni” spożywać mięso czerwone). Obok takich utartych przekazów, zakorzenionych mocno w kulturze zachodniej, pojawia się jednak nowy silny i dynamiczny trend, jakim jest odrzucenie produktów odzwierzęcych. Liczba osób nie jedzących mięsa wzrasta. Czy jest to zatem powrót do natury człowieczej czy też odstępstwo od niej? Niektórzy autorzy uważają, że diety bezmięsne stanowią przywilej klas społeczno-ekonomicznych ulokowanych w wyższych sferach społecznych. Czy jest możliwe niejedzenie mięsa przez całe społeczności, szczególnie jeśli diety bezmięsne zostaną uznane za atrakcyjną formę konsumpcji?

Przemoc kolonialna, strategie oporu i przywracanie pamięci w filmie Wi Te-shenga Wojownicy tęczy
Authors: Loska Krzysztof
Published: November 2020

Punktem wyjścia jest założenie, że kino stanowi ważny głos w debacie na temat pamięci historycznej, pokazuje ambiwalentny stosunek do przeszłości i jest środkiem przekazu poruszającym kwestie polityczne oraz kulturowe. W swoim artykule przyjmuję perspektywę postkolonialną, uwzględniając nie tyle dziedzictwo zachodniego imperializmu, co raczej jego dalekowschodnią odmianę. Po drugie, wskazuję na istotne podobieństwa między różnymi rodzajami przemocy, które prowadzą do podporządkowania lub zniszczenia kultury podbitego narodu. Po trzecie, zastanawiam się nad sposobami przedstawiania historii i możliwością przywracania pamięci za pomocą sztuki filmowej. Przedmiotem analizy jest film tajwańskiego reżysera Wei Te-shenga Wojownicy tęczy (Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale, 2011), w którym dostrzegam przykład nowoczesnego kina politycznego w rozumieniu Gilles’a Deleuze’a.
Heidegger i aktywizm fanów. Manifestacje poiēsis we współczesnej mobilizacji społeczności online
Authors: Battin Justin Michael , Rystakova Elle
Published: November 2020

Artykuł ten czerpie inspirację z obu tez Heideggera przedstawionych w przełomowym eseju The Question Concerning Technology (1977 [1956]) oraz z jego interpretacji poiēsis, konceptu omawianego przez filozofa w wielu z jego późniejszych prac. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie poiēsis jako wielowymiarowej siły napędowej u podstaw działań aktywistów prowadzących skuteczne kampanie w Internecie. Aktywizm fanów, w przeciwieństwie do tak zwanej „solidarności kliknięcia myszą” (tzw. „slacktywizmu”), jest formą działalności w mediach społecznościowych bazującą na uprzednim zaangażowaniu użytkownika w dany tekst, którego treści – w jego odbiorze – pozwalają interpretować problemy świata pozatekstowego. Heideggerowska interpretacja poiēsis jest dla tej relacji komponentem o kluczowym znaczeniu. Poiēsis bowiem stanowi iskrę, która rozpala a potem podtrzymuje kampanie fanów-aktywistów, ponieważ jest czynnikiem uświadamiającym nam jak świat na nas wpływa, ale jednocześnie w jaki sposób my sami weń się angażujemy lub jak w nim funkcjonujemy zgadzając się na jego zasady. Wychodząc od analiz kampanii prowadzonych przez fanów-aktywistów, niniejszy artykuł dowodzi, że rewitalizacja istoty poiēsis w naszym codziennym życiu – a w szczególności w sferze naszej jaźni wspólnotowej – ma elementarne znaczenie dla ożywienia poczucia zaangażowania w kształtowanie rzeczywistości świata, w którym żyjemy, a w konsekwencji dla rewizji umiejscowienia w nim człowieka i jego roli jago szczególnego agensa transformacji.
Pamięć i zapominanie w Pogrzebanym olbrzymie Kazuo Ishigury
Authors: Gołębiowska Urszula
Published: November 2020

Abstrakt
Celem artykułu jest odczytanie najnowszej powieści Kazuo Ishigury jako refleksji pisarza nad rolą pamięci i zapominania w życiu indywidualnym i zbiorowym. Wydany w 2015 roku Pogrzebany olbrzym odnosi się do kwestii niezmiennie aktualnej, dotyczącej zarówno jednostek jak i społeczeństw próbujących uporać się z traumatyczną przeszłością. Mimo że Ishiguro nie udziela łatwych odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, czy pamiętać o trudnych wydarzeniach, czy raczej je wymazać, tymczasowa amnezja jawi się w powieści jako uzasadniony zabieg, pozwalający jednostkom utrzymać relacje, a społeczeństwom uniknąć ponownego wybuchu przemocy. Zjawisko pamięci zbiorowej, problem pamięci, która nieuchronnie powraca po okresie amnezji/amnestii i jej uwikłania w konkurujące ze sobą polityki pamięci, wzajemne powiązanie pamięci i zapominania, rola pamięci mimowolnej w podważaniu oficjalnej narracji to kwestie, które powieść porusza i które zostały omówione w artykule w odniesieniu do XX-wiecznych koncepcji i dyskursów na temat pamięci: Maurice’a Halbwachsa, Waltera Benjamina, Marcela Prousta, a także współczesnego brytyjskiego filozofa Galena Strawsona.
Expansion and Contraction: The Play Spaces of Todd and the Vampire
Authors: Heisel Erin
Published: November 2020

What happens when the music production processes and spaces of a traditionally live art form such as opera are digitized? What is the relationship between community and isolation for artists when their workspace is lifted from the theatre—with its interpersonal connections—and placed in the virtual world? What opportunities and what risks does this pose for performers? Are there parallels to other art forms that developed or expanded as the result of new media technologies? This article will explore these issues by considering the production processes of the animated YouTube opera/movie Todd and the Vampire, composed and created by Ronen Shai, with contributions by musicians and visual artists working simultaneously, but independently, around the world. How does this piece utilize technology to challenge and transcend traditional notions of space and identity? What are the implications of this somewhat disembodied process for performers, audiences, and for the art form itself?

a Literary History of Mental Captivity in the United States. Blood Meridian, Wise Blood, and Contemporary Political Discourse
Authors: Rodriguez Manuel Broncano
Published: November 2020

On July 15, 2018, US President Donald Trump and Russia President Vladimir Putin held a summit in Helsinki that immediately set off a chain reaction throughout the world. By now, barely two months later, that summit is all but forgotten for the most part, superseded by the frantic train of events and the subsequent bombardment from the media that have become the “new normal.” While the iron secrecy surrounding the conversation between the two dignitaries allowed for all kinds of speculation, the image of president Trump bowing to his Russian counterpart (indeed a treasure trove for semioticians) became for many observers in the US and across the world the living proof of Mr. Trump´s subservient allegiance to Mr. Putin and his obscure designs. Even some of the most recalcitrant GOPs vented quite publicly their disgust at the sight of a president paying evident homage to the archenemy of the United States, as Vercingetorix kneeled down before Julius Cesar in recognition of the Gaul´s surrender to the might of the Roman Empire. For some arcanereason, the whole episode of the Helsinki summit brought to my mind, as in a vivid déjà vu, Cormac McCarthy´s novel Blood Meridian and more specifically, the characters of Judge Holden and the idiotic freak who becomes Holden´s ludicrous disciple in the wastelands of Arizona. In my presentation, I will provide some possible explanations as to why I came to blend these two unrelated episodes into a single continuum. In the process, I will briefly revisit some key texts in the American canon that fully belong in the history of “mental captivity” in the United States, yet to be written. Obviously, I am not in hopes of deciphering the ultimate reasons for current US foreign policy, and the more modest aim of my presentation today is to offer some insights into the general theme of our conference through a novel and a textual tradition overpopulated with “captive minds.”
Dracula as Inter-American Film Icon: Universal Pictures and Cinematográfica ABSA
Authors: Barrenechea Antonio
Published: November 2020

My essay explores the vampire cinema of Hollywood and Mexico.  In particular, I trace the relationship between Universal Pictures as the progenitor of horror during the Great Depression and Cinematográfica ABSA's "mexploitation" practices.  The latter resulted in the first vampire film in Latin America--"El vampiro" (1957).  Rather than strengthening separatist national cinemas, the unintended consequences of genre film production make this a case of inter-American scope.
The Tragedy of a Whistleblower. Adamczewski’s Tragic Protest and the Case of Chelsea Manning
Authors: Koltun Monika
Published: November 2020

Bringing most carefully guarded secrets into light, political whistleblowers deconstruct the essential oppositions upon which superpower ideologies are founded: they draw popular attention to what has been relegated to the margins of the dominant discourses. Torpedoing the reputations of the most powerful organizations in the world, and well aware of the inevitability of retaliation, they put themselves in a most precarious position. Fighting against impossible odds in the name of the greater good, facing the gravity of the consequences, they become heroes in the classical sense of the word: arguably, their dilemmas are not unlike those faced by Antigone, Hamlet and other iconic figures in history, literature and mythology. Such is the central premise of this article. The methodological frame for the analysis of the material in this study has been adopted from Zygmunt Adamczewski’s The Tragic Protest, whose theory, bringing together classical and modern approaches to tragedy, allows for the extrapolation of the principles underlying the protest of such iconic figures as Prometheus, Orestes, Faust, Hamlet, Thomas Stockman or Willy Loman to discourses outside the grand narratives of culture. His theory of the tragic protest serves as a tool facilitating the identification of the features of a quintessential tragic protester, which Adamczewski attains by means of the study of the defining traits of mythological and literary tragic heroes. It is against such a backdrop that I adapt and apply Adamczewski’s model to the study of materials related to Chelsea Manning in search of parallels that locate her own form of protest in the universal space of tragedy.

Captive Minds. Norms, Normativities and the Forms of Tragic Protest in Literature and Cultural Practice
Authors: Poks Małgorzata
Published: November 2020

As a foundation and product of grand narratives, norms apply to any and every aspect of individual, communal, and social life. They regulate our behaviors, determine directions in the evolution of arts and philosophies, condition intra- and cross cultural understanding, organize hierarchies. Yet – when transformed into laws – norms become appropriated by dominant discourses and become “truths.” Those in control of language always construe them as “universal” and, as such, “transparent.” The usefulness of norms stems from the fact that they facilitate our orientation in the world. In the long run, however, they are bound to block our imaginative access to alternative ways of living and thinking about reality, thus enslaving our minds in a construction of reality believed to be natural. In a world so determined, dissenting perspectives and pluralities of views threaten to disrupt norms and normativities, along with the order (patriarchal, racist, sexist, ableist, speciesist, etc.) build into them. Benefactors of a normative worldview and average individuals busily trying to fit in police the perimeters of the accepted, disciplining nonconformists, rebels, and nonnormative individualists of every stripe. “Assent — and you are sane,” quipped Emily Dickinson in her well-known poem, “Demur — you’re straightway dangerous — And handled with a Chain —” (209).  Notorious for their inimical attitude to repressive majorities, artists, philosophers, academics, and other “marginal” persons have always challenged deified norms. Opening up liberatory perspectives, they have tried to escape mental captivities and imagine the world otherwise: as a place where difference is cherished and where justice reigns. Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in literature, imagines an alternative reality whose inhabitants, Heterotopians, constantly suspend commonly held beliefs in order to examine their validity. Passive perception, argues Tokarczuk, “has moral significance. It allows evil to take root” (43). Without a periodical suspension of belief in truths so deeply naturalized that they look like Truth Itself, we become perpetrators of the evil glossed over by narratives whose veracity we take for granted.

Published: November 2020

The degree of optimization of industrial structure has become one of the core powers of modern economic growth engine. Using the data from 1996 to 2016 and taking the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area as an example, this paper made an empirical analysis on the contribution of industrial structure adjustment variables of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area to economic growth, and concluded that the optimization and adjustment of industrial structure in the great bay area had a significant positive correlation with economic growth. In order to strengthen the bay area economy, bay area cities should speed up the adjustment of industrial structure and the elimination of backward production capacity. Furthermore, bay area cities should combine the elements of innovation-driven development, explore the tertiary industry with local characteristics, and take the tertiary industry as the engine for the economic development of the whole bay area. Keywords: Economic Growth, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao great bay area, Optimization of industrial structure.

The paper is a conceptual one to understand the relationship between occupational stress, physical wellbeing and productivity barometer such as burnout, illness, labour turnover and absenteeism. The accumulated unpleasant emotional and psychological feelings ascend out of occupational stress impacts the physical and mental wellness of an employee which ultimately depreciates his/ her productivity barometer. The present paper is a conceptual frame work to understand the concept stress, occupational stress and individual’s appraisal of it in his/her work environment. The research work analyses occupational stress as more of a sort of individual generated which rises out of individual’s assessment of the stressors of work life. The objective of the research work is to study on occupational stress, physical and psychological wellbeing and productivity barometer. The research article attempts to suggest in promoting health philosophy and physical wellness programme in organisation’s work culture and environment through individual initiated interventions and organisation policy to put a control on occupational stress in order to check the alarming signal of productivity barometer. Keywords: Occupational Stress, Physical Wellbeing, Productivity Barometer, Quality of Work Life and Quality of Life.

Mathematical Risk Modeling: an Application in Three Cases of Insurance Contracts
Authors:   College of Islamic Economics and Finance,  Umm Al-Qura University, (Saudi Arabia)  and  University of Carthage, Tunisia, Drissi Ramzi
Published: November 2020

Risk is often defined as the degree of uncertainty regarding the future. This general definition of risk can be extended to define different types of risks according to the source of the underlying uncertainty. In this context, the objective of this paper is to mathematically model risks in insurance. The choice of methods and techniques that allow the construction of the model significantly influence the responses obtained. We approach these different issues by modeling risks in three base cases: basic insurance of goods, life insurance, and financial risk insurance. Our findings show that risk modeling allowed us to better measure certain events, but did not allow us to predict them accurately due to a lack of information. Therefore, good modeling of the risk determinants makes it possible to modify the probability associated with the occurrence of a risk. While it cannot predict exactly when a risk will occur, it can help make decisions that will reduce its effects. Keywords: Basic insurance, Life insurance, Mathematical models, Financial risk, Biometric function.
Promising Areas for Ensuring Food Security in the Region (on the example of the Far East)
Authors:   Perm Institute (branch) Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Oborin M.S.
Published: November 2020

In the current political and economic situation in the Russian Federation, due to the need for rapid development of import substitution in the food sector, agriculture has become one of the priority sectors of the Russian economy. In the context of sanctions restrictions, food security as an essential component of the country’s national security depends entirely on the level of agricultural development. The problems and features of agricultural production development in regions with difficult natural and climatic conditions are relevant, since additional investments and the introduction of innovative technologies that reduce the impact of negative factors are required there. The article discusses the trends and prospects of ensuring food security of the Far Eastern Federal District. This direction includes the physical availability of food for the population of all subjects of the district, the necessary volumes and quality of food, its positive impact on the health of the population. Indicators of agricultural production in the district and its features in the regions are considered. The main problem of regions with unfavorable climatic conditions remains insufficient production of various types of products. The necessary directions for improving food security are systematic state support and strategic cooperation with neighboring regions at the inter-sectoral and inter-municipal levels.

Published: November 2020

In dairy farms, the human-animal interaction is intense, especially with baby calves and the animal's
response is linked to the handler's behaviour. Considering that attitude of calves’ handlers can improve
animal performance, this study aimed to characterize it in order to understand important gaps. One hundred
handlers of commercial dairy farms located in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Parana were interviewed. The
interview was conducted based on a semi-structured questionnaire applied by only one interviewer and
directed to calves’ handlers. The questionnaire was developed to collect data attitude of self-reports from
people responsible for handling calves. Pearson's correlation between the cognitive, affective and
behavioural components of the attitude of calves’ handlers and the performance of calves during the milkpreweaning were very low. Nearly seven of ten respondents had a positive attitude about the statement "care
with the prepartum cow may impact calf’s performance preweaning". For 55% of the handlers, calves should
receive more than two liters of colostrum in the first meal; however, for 39% of them, the volume should
be higher. Only 28% of handlers disagree that a newborn calf should ingest colostrum directly from the
dam. Almost six in ten handlers agree that a calf should be fed with dam’s colostrum. Three in ten
respondents do not agree with the statement "In the future, I would like to work in another sector". More
than half (52%) agree that they know how to raise calves, with higher percentage observed for the largest
farm’s handlers. For some variables, the handler has a positive attitude, but in practice, the behaviour
performed is not always the same. The behaviour of the calf’s handler may have positive affective and
cognitive components. All the handlers knew how to handle the animals or at least knew the importance of
the main actions in dairy calves handling. However, the behavioural component is based on actions,
differing attitude from behaviour. There is a strong need of training calves’ handlers so their attitude and
behaviour may be modulated to improve the efficiency of raising dairy calves.
