Authors:   University of Bialystok, Wierzbicka Anna , Owczarczuk Magdalena ,   University of Bialystok
Published: July 2023

Goal – the sector of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is considered a driving force for economic development. The literature on the subject increasingly emphasises that it is SMEs that initiate transformation of an economy as they play a crucial role in implementing innovations that make it possible to enhance its competitive success. The purpose of the article is to assess the level of innovativeness (innovative activity) of small and medium enterprises in CEE countries. Research methodology – the article contains an analysis of innovation measures and indicators, including (among others) the share of enterprises classified as innovative, the level of outlays on research and development, the number of research workers, and the number of innovations implemented by companies. The authors verified two research hypotheses: H1: The SME sector in CEE is becoming increasingly more innovative; H2: CEE countries significantly differ in terms of the level of innovativeness in their SMEs. In order to achieve our purpose and verify the research hypotheses, we use publicly available data and indicators published by Eurostat or the European Commission. The study covers EU member states located in Central and Eastern Europe: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Score/result – the presented statistical data indicate that the innovativeness of small and medium enterprises in CEE countries is growing. An increasing number of SMEs can be classified as innovating companies. The firms’ own expenditure on R&D (BERD) and non-R&D innovation has also been rising. A marked increase can be observed in the number of employed scientists and R&D personnel in small and medium enterprises in CEE countries. It should be emphasised, however, that these countries vary significantly in terms of their levels of innovation in the SMEs sector. Originality/value – the review of the literature on the subject and the conducted analysis have highlighted serious problems with measuring innovation and the availability of data, particularly that regarding SMEs. On the other hand, the obtained results make it possible to identify areas of interest for future research projects. Among them, special attention is deserved by the reasons for the disparities in innovation across SMEs from CEE countries.

Authors: Hartiningtyas Widjati , Khusyairi Johny Alfian , Nafi’ah Wirdatun , Riyanto Edi Dwi
Published: July 2023

Previous studies showed that love has become an eternal theme in pop music. But since the early 2000s, new themes with negative sentiments such as pain, despair, fear, and sadness have emerged in pop music. Along with this phenomenon, recent pop music offers poetic lyrics instead of cliché lyrics. What makes them more interesting is, some of the lyrics are autobiographical. This study aims to analyze the originality of autobiographical lyrics and their relation to young listeners’ reception. The researchers use three songs as the research object: Takut by Idgitaf, Bertaut by Nadin Amizah, and Runtuh by Feby Putri and Fiersa Besari. This qualitative research uses the lyrics of those songs and questionnaire results as its data. The questionnaire respondents are young listeners between 18 and 30 years old who live in different villages and cities in Indonesia with various social economic and educational backgrounds. The collected data are analyzed using Fraith and Hoggarts’ thoughts. Analysis of the works of Idgitaf, Nadin Amizah, Feby Putri, and Fiersa Besari shows that all of them have distinct and unique songwriting skills. They also show consistency in choosing the theme song, including the three songs used as research objects. Out of 64 respondents, 56.3% claim that knowing a song is an autobiographical work does not change their opinion and feelings toward the song. However, the result of the questionnaire shows that young listeners feel connected to song lyrics that represent their feelings.
Gitar Tunggal Lampung: Enculturation and Ethnopedagogy in Advancing Formal Music Education
Authors: Hidayatullah Riyan
Published: July 2023

Formal music education often uses systematic teaching methods, a planned curriculum, leveling, organization, and standardized learning stages. From a pedagogical perspective, learning music provides a more imaginative, improvisatory learning structure besides all these standard rules. By capturing the social practice of music in the community, music scholars can enrich their academic experience and ideas about designing informal music learning in the classroom.    The gitar tunggal players from Lampung may serve as ideas for those learning music formally. While they lack musical and academic literacy, they also provide useful self-learning concepts.   Over the past four years, data for this study were gathered using ethnomusicological methods. Online databases were used in addition to the primary data collected through fieldwork. When designing curricula, music scholars might include the ideas of enculturation and Ethno pedagogy. A useful suggestion for enhancing formal music education is to base instruction on local culture and learn it from vernacular musicians in Lampung.
Current endometriosis care and opportunities for improvement
Authors: Pickett Charlotte , Foster Warren G , Agarwal Sanjay K
Published: July 2023

Endometriosis is a chronic disease associated with debilitating pain that affects many people assigned female at birth, from menarche through menopause, not just causing pain and infertility but also negatively impacting quality of life, participation in daily activities, productivity, and income. It is associated with increased incidence of obstetric and neonatal complications, anxiety, other chronic diseases, and substantial healthcare costs. Despite the profound negative impact of endometriosis on quality of life, current treatment options remain suboptimal and many patients express dissatisfaction with current care. The prevailing acute-care, single-provider model in which the provider works in relative isolation and thus with limited diagnostic and therapeutic strategies readily available proves inadequate for treating endometriosis. Patients would benefit from earlier diagnosis and referral to a center capable of providing a comprehensive and multimodal management plan that utilizes a chronic care model. Often this can only be achieved through multidisciplinary teams of providers with expertise in endometriosis. The authors acknowledge that many low- and middle-income countries do not have the resources to support such centers but could still benefit from any breakthroughs in treatment they bring about. Researchers need to agree on standardized core outcome measures, relevant to patients with endometriosis and the healthcare system as a whole. Only through increased societal and healthcare provider education and recognition of endometriosis as a chronic disease can we achieve better treatment outcomes.

Lay summary

Endometriosis is a disease that affects about one out of every women. It occurs when tissue like that which is normally located inside the uterus is present outside the uterus. The body’s reaction to this tissue causes inflammation and pain, usually so severe that it disrupts daily activities. Our current medical system does not serve these patients well. Patients with endometriosis often must see many different doctors over many years before learning of their disease and getting treatment. We need to increase awareness of endometriosis and think of it as a chronic disease like diabetes or heart disease. We can improve care by creating centers where experienced teams work together to treat patients and study treatment impacts on quality of life. It is time to adopt a new model for caring for patients with endometriosis.

Teoría y praxis en el Hegel de Jena
Authors: Prestifilippo Agustin L.
Published: July 2023

En este artículo analizo tres cuestiones en las que se esboza un determinado modo de entender la relación entre teoría y praxis en el desarrollo filosófico de Hegel entre 1802 y 1803 en Jena: el dogmatismo, entendido como una forma supersticiosa de la conciencia, tanto espontánea como doctrinaria, en donde el sujeto adopta una actitud sumisa y contemplativa frente a lo dado; la significación epistémica de la contradicción, que Hegel reconstruye en su lectura de Sexto Empírico, en donde se la asocia con el procedimiento auténtico del conocimiento especulativo; y, por último, la identificación de las tareas de la filosofía como un conocimiento fundamentalmente crítico, en donde el idealismo encuentra su justificación como práctica transformadora en y de la cultura de su tiempo. El escrito concluye formulando interrogantes acerca de los sentidos heterogéneos que el propio Hegel asocia al lugar de la negatividad en el pensamiento.
THE CONCEPT OF “HERO’S BRIDE” IN THE EARLY TEXTS OF THE YAKUT OLONKHO: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL ASPECT
Authors: Borisov Yuri
Published: July 2023

The article considers the concept of “hero’s bride” in the context of the phenomenological approach based on six early texts of the Yakut Olonkho. In these texts we identified 28 suggestive epic formulas that are the main means of representing the concept being studied. As a result of the study, it was found that the nominative density of the concept “hero’s bride” includes the concepts of “female beauty,” “portrait,” “body,” “youngest daughter,” “needlework,” “clothes,” “braid,” “skylark.” The analysis of these concepts allowed to reveal the aesthetic preferences of female beauty in the minds of native speakers. It turned out that the representations of “female beauty” included such signs as shapeliness, slim body, beautiful face, long braid, white skin, rosy cheeks, thin eyebrows, shiny eyelashes, plump lips, snow-white teeth and restrained character. Particularly important were light, thin skin, through which both bones and veins are visible. The combination of these characteristics formed the idea of the “hero’s bride” — a perfectly beautiful woman who was the standard of beauty in the linguistic image of the world of the Yakuts in the late 19th — early 20th centuries. In addition, the predominance of the “braid” concept with referents “braid in sweep sazhen“ + “Kuo” indicates that this model of the concept explicated all the above aesthetic characteristics of the “hero’s bride” concept in the minds of the listeners. The foregoing indicates the presence of phenomenological associative connections, that is, the concepts once verbalized by the storytellers accumulated in the social memory of the epic audience. In other words, the phenomenon of speech activity, in which there the cumulative and interchangeable nature of concepts included in the conceptual area of the “hero’s bride” is revealed.”
POETICS OF THE LIFE OF ST. EPHRAIM OF TORZHOK
Authors: Galasheva Tatiana
Published: July 2023

According to legend, the Venerable Ephraim of Torzhok was an 11th century ascetic, and the “ancient scripture” about him has been lost. The history of the saint was written anew: a Brief edition of his Life was created in the last quarter of the 16th century, an Extensive one — in the second quarter of the 17th century. The subject of research of this article is the poetics of the Life of St. Ephraim of Torzhok (mainly based on the material of the rhetorically adorned Extensive edition). The text’s highly complex structure is examined and attributed to the strong dependence of the Extensive edition on the Brief edition and to the special tasks that the compiler set for himself. The question of the place of the Life in the history of the hagiographic genre, and the ways in which traditional formulas and motifs, and biblical quotations work in the text is investigated along with the fragments of the composition marked by rhetorical means. The Life was probably created not so much with a focus on the hagiographic canon, but in the genre-appropriate language: the compiler of the Extensive edition approached the traditional elements of the hagiographic genre quite freely. One of the main events of the Life, both in the Brief and Extensive versions, was specifically the creation of the text about the saint. The fragmentary nature of the Life, which combines heterogeneous elements characteristic of folk and book lives, allows us to observe the process of formation of a new type of hagiographic text that took place in the 17th century.

Published: July 2023

Este trabajo toma en consideración el análisis de algunos sistemas educativos suramericanos desde la perspectiva de la acreditación, identificando elementos comunes y no comunes, fortalezas y oportunidades de mejora, con el ánimo de vislumbrar buenas prácticas en la formulación de la política pública, en el desempeño de las instituciones, en la implementación de esquemas educativos, entre otros. Para ello, se realiza un análisis documental de las más importantes leyes de educación de Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay y Perú, distinguiendo aspectos de interés en las normatividades existentes, a la vez que se generan tablas comparativas entre los modelos y las naciones. Todo esto permite reconocer la complejidad de los sistemas, en tanto son un reflejo de la política pública educativa en cada país, los cuales son expresados a partir de los imaginarios educativos de cada contexto, lo que representa un desafío desde la perspectiva de integración de los modelos, lineamientos o sistemas de acreditación que cohabitan en la región. La principal conclusión determina que, actualmente, es complejo pensar en un sistema de acreditación unificado que satisfaga todos los intereses de los países e instituciones implicados, dada su heterogeneidad, por lo que se recomienda empezar a construir y consolidar una cultura regional que entienda que la acreditación y demás procesos asociados a la calidad educativa deben verse más desde un punto de vista holístico y sistémico que de manera específica.
La gamificación y su potencial para la disminución del estrés escolar: caso de una Institución de Educación General Básica ecuatoriana
Authors: Mora Erazo Gloria Yessenia , Tamayo Sánchez Andrea Vanessa , Lara Lara Fernando , Herrera Navas Cristopher David
Published: July 2023

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue disminuir el estrés mediante estrategias metodológicas gamificadas. La metodología es cuantitativa, con diseño cuasiexperimental y tipo explicativo. Como muestra se seleccionó a 44 personas estudiantes de octavo año de Educación General Básica, con edades desde los 11 a los 16 años. El instrumento empleado para el pretest y postest fue la encuesta SISCO SV-21 (SIStémico Cognoscitivista), que sirvió para diagnosticar el nivel de estrés y evaluar los resultados obtenidos luego de la aplicación de estrategias metodológicas gamificadas. Los resultados indican un nivel de estrés inicial del alumnado entre moderado y severo, además, reflejan que el principal problema existente era la falta de estrategias para afrontar situaciones desafiantes que generan estrés. Por ello, se plantean cinco estrategias basadas en la gamificación para la enseñanza de herramientas que disminuyan el estrés y el control de situaciones estresantes. Esto condujo a que el estudiantado en el postest obtenga un nivel de estrés leve, con menos factores estresores desencadenantes de síntomas fisiológicos y psicológicos. Se concluye que las estrategias planteadas, basadas en la gamificación, constituyen una alternativa significativa para la disminución del estrés del alumnado, ya que brindan medios para afrontar sucesos estresantes de la escolaridad y disminuir reacciones físicas y psicológicas que podrían dificultar el aprendizaje. Se recomienda aplicar el modelo propuesto de estrategia metodológica gamificada en otros contextos educativos, desde la presencialidad y con diversas temáticas, para continuar recabando resultados sobre su funcionalidad en la dinamización del proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
Shelter disease surveillance and shelter welfare assessment in short term housing shelters: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ozturan Y. A. , Akin I.
Published: July 2023

Six shelters with 7,468 animals (2,305 cats and 5,163 dogs) were followed and diseases and shelter welfare conditions were recorded for one year. Disease records were obtained and categorised on three headings (surgery, internal medicine, and reproductive diseases and interventions) and subheading categories. Descriptive statistics was used to reveal disease distribution, which can attribute to surveillance data. To evaluate shelter welfare conditions, a protocol was developed and shelters were assessed. Under the surgical disease category, the most encountered disease records were open wounds (502, 59.41% and 175, 31.99%) for dogs and cats. For the internal medicine category, the most encountered were respiratory system diseases both for dogs (917, 33.26%) and cats (351, 58.21%). Under the reproductive disease category, the most common disease in dogs was orchitis (29, 60.42%). In cats, the most encountered disease was metritis (19, 79.16%). Ordinal logistic regression was used for evaluation of associations between diseases and shelter conditions. For dogs, with a one-point increase in shelter score, the odds of encountering reproductive diseases increased by 1.4%, while the odds of cumulative and internal diseases decreased 1.1 and 1.2 times (P<0.05) respectively. For cats, with an increase in shelter scores, the odds of encountering reproductive and cumulative diseases increased by 3.4% and 0.2%, respectively (P<0.05). Disease surveillance and their relation with shelter conditions may be helpful to design efficient plans in shelters.

Authors: Navarra Diego
Published: July 2023

The objective of this paper is to review the academic literature and identify best practices on the integration of artificial intelligence and sustainable technologies in strategic renewable energy and Power-to-X projects globally. We reflect upon the way in which exemplary case studies can be used to foster a common shared view among different policy makers to highlight new ways through which energy efficiency and systemic improvements in the energy sector may be achieved while curbing carbon emissions and addressing climate change. The main risks, challenges and mitigations for integrating artificial intelligence and sustainable technologies in energy systems are also educed from both the academic literature as well as interviews with experts. Our findings indicate that while the integration of artificial intelligence and sustainable technologies can support energy efficiency and systemic improvements in the energy sector, there are several risks that were not previously identified in the literature. Critical areas of future development for academic research as well as opportunities for professional practice are presented.
Energy efficiency in healthcare institutions
Authors: Alotaiby Rana , Krenyácz Éva
Published: July 2023

The Environmental Protection Agency classifies healthcare as one of the leading energy-consuming industries. Extensive energy is needed around the clock in healthcare institutions for lighting, ventilation, and operating medical equipment. However, there is a growing concern over the sustainability of energy utilization by healthcare institutions worldwide. This narrative review thus seeks to examine energy efficiency and utilization in healthcare institutions and energy management and conservation techniques and make recommendations for future optimal usage. The paper notes that healthcare institutions use different quantities of energy from diverse sources, including hydropower, biomass, solar energy, and wind power. However, energy consumption varies from one institution to another, with the number of beds and intensity of healthcare operations, with an average of 0.27 MWh m−2. Moreover, this review also identified various techniques and measures to enhance energy efficiency, such as the variant refrigerant flow technology and the combination of renewable energy sources with diesel generators to reduce the cost of electricity. Overall, healthcare institutions need energy management systems such as automated energy monitoring technologies, to check the systems' efficiency. The same techniques can also help Middle Eastern healthcare institutions with efficient energy utilization. Ultimately, the literature review aims to introduce an approach that focuses on reducing site-level consumption of energy while increasing the quality of the energy used and hence, helping reduce energy costs while conserving the environment.

Published: July 2023

This article aims to introduce the figure of Siti Rukiah Kertapati as one of Indonesia's female writers. Through her works, we can see the turbulent revolution around the 1940s to 1960s from the perspective of the common person, especially that of a woman. The narrative of women in the revolution presented by Siti Rukiah Kertapati is not grandiose by making the main character a "hero" in the story. The figure of a young woman who is restless between her heart and mind makes anyone who reads it also relate. With most of the themes carrying love stories and human inner struggles, Siti Rukiah Kertapati can bring a simple narrative but is still able to make it an interesting read. The method used is historical with a descriptive-narrative approach. The research data is taken from short stories collected in the book Tandus and the novel Kejatuhan dan Hati with interpretations made by the writer. The results of this research are expected to be useful for the general public to recognize and appreciate the works of Siti Rukiah Kertapati.Keywords: Siti Rukiah Kertapati, women, literature

Background: High political and economic turbulence, changes in the international relations and cross-national economic ties enhance the demand for developing and launching new pharmacological treatments as a part of nationally independent health care program and import substitution policy. The number of clinical trials is growing rapidly, increasing the need for more effective solutions in organizing these trials optimizing the time, financial resources and efforts of medical personnel. The global trend of creating a new digital ecosystem in health care also raises the issues of higher patient involvement, taking into account the patient's psychological and physical barriers including the issues of personal data security. Aims: Evaluating the motivation and readiness of current clinical trials participants to switch to mobile technologies and identifying the barriers for these shifts. Method: The survey among 75 participants of clinical trials using offline self-completed questionnaire, data processing using statistical tools for data analysis.
Results: Currently, 56% of respondents who are current participants of traditional medical trials would definitely agree to participate in mobile clinical trials. Compared to the consistency rate between traditional clinical trials estimated as 73%, the shift to a new format will result in 17% additional losses. The serious barrier for participation is the concerns about the security of personal information it is highly relevant for 37% of respondents and moderately relevant for 44%. The important motivating factor for the participation is the open access to personal medical data - 44% of respondents were highly interested in obtaining this data and 31% are somewhat interested. Conclusion. The results of the pilot study confirmed relatively high readiness of current participants to join mobile clinical trials and use mobile devices and solutions in future trials. However the level of readiness is unequal between different socio-demographic groups. Differentiating parameters are age, former experience of clinical trials and the skills in using digital technologies. Training programs for managers and researchers of clinical trials, provision of devices for non-users, timely technical support during the data collection and transparency in data usages can help to address key issues which slow down the peoples participation in mobile trials.

Mutual Fund- SIP VS Lump Sum
Authors: Chakraborty Saloni
Published: July 2023

The best suited investment for the average person is indeed a mutual fund, which allows them to put more money in a broad, competently administered array of assets at quite a reasonable charge. There seems to be a degree of ambiguity amongst ordinary individuals who want to invest their
spare funds mostly in share market using mutual funds on whether they should go with a systematic investment plan or maybe with just a lump sum investment or if both options are available. This particular study is based on secondary research where a comparison of the SIP with a lump sum investment
has been undertaken.

The global movement of people has been limited due to the pandemic. This also led to a shift in behaviour among consumers, who limit their trips outside the home. Additionally, they are limiting what they bring into the house to maintain household hygiene. Almost every industry has
been affected by Coronavirus, including the home delivery industry. There are both opportunities and challenges for online food delivery apps as more people stay at home and quarantine themselves. The online food delivery industry has emerged as a new channel of food delivery and marketing
in order to capture a bigger share and sale in the food industry. This new type of business delivery has become very popular, especially among young, busy and working people. The objectives of our research are firstly, to explore the factors which influence the consumer buying intension towards
online food order and secondly, to study the behavioural changes of online food aggregators due to Covid-19.

Optimal Placement of Battery Energy Storage System in Distribution System
Authors: Mukherjee Manas , Ghosh Jayanta
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes optimal placement of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) along with Electric vehicle (EV). The novel approach of this work is, the placement of battery storage system minimizes total distribution system cost which includes cost of power loss, BESS, EV and Energy
Not Supplied (ENS) at a time. The objective function considers time varying voltage dependent load model, variation of solar DG output and time varying electric energy price. As battery storage system can store the energy in offpeak load hours and discharge the energy in on-peak load hours,
in this proposed work charging/discharging of the Battery depends on the price of electric energy at that particular time. To find the optimal location and size for BESS/EV placement, Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) is used. For optimal rating of BESS, power capacity, energy capacity
and Sate of charge (SOC) are taken into considerations. Also for encouragement of EV owner's participation in Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) service, the Range Anxiety (RA) problem is considered. The proposed method is tested for IEEE-33 bus radial distribution system. Keywords- Distribution system,
Battery energy storage system, Reliability, optimization

"NoArchi" works over with a special library of JavaScript: Threejs. And this is what makes it different. The problem which it is ought to solve is. That whenever someone builds their houses. They do have a dream house in their minds. But they can't either explain it to the designers
or the builders or eventually end up having anything which has been built by the builders. And thereafter "NoArchi" provides them with liberty which allows them to bring their own touch and feel to their homes. And that even enables the builders and home decor designers to fit in the broader
scope of their clients. And thus providing them with the broader scope of providing their clients with the best possible work. As time passes by we are looking to make the project even more customizable. This means that the user would have full control over even the movement of each and every
section and piece of the art. They could move and adjust the position of each and every element of the room and position it accordingly. Although the AI custom made room will still be available for the people. In the end, it saves you time by giving you the greatest design that is both realistic
and developed by AI, allowing you to customise your space. "NoArchi" is a project that has a lot of potential and will develop into one of the best projects available. So let's get right to it and stop wasting time.
A Hybrid Approach for Heart Disease Detection using K-Means and K-NN Algorithm
Authors: Thakur Anjali , Kaur Harpreet , Goel Nisha , Paul Parthib , Asopa Pratima , Goswami Soham , Das Manab Kumar
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we propose a hybrid approach for heart disease prediction that uses both the k-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) and the k-Means algorithms. The proposed hybrid approach has the potential to aid healthcare professionals in the early detection of heart disease, particularly in high-risk
patients. It involves clustering the data into high-risk and low-risk groups using KMeans and then labelling these groups accordingly. Then KNN is applied to both the high-risk and low-risk groups to predict the risk of heart disease for new instances. The method can aid in identifying individuals
who require immediate medical attention and intervention. Timely diagnosis and treatment can help prevent disease progression, improving patient outcomes.
