Published: December 2022

Introducción Para contener la pandemia por (COVID-19) se recurrió al distanciamiento social, cierre de fronteras y cuarentena en el hogar, que pudieron haber repercutido al deterioro de la salud general, un aumento del consumo de alcohol y otras sustancias para contrarrestar la intensidad de la respuesta a estas consecuencias. Objetivo Determinar las características demográficas del consumo de riesgo para alcohol durante la cuarentena estricta por covid-19. Metodología Estudio observacional analítico transversal exploratorio. 16.538 encuestas virtuales realizadas a personas mayores de edad de todo el país entre junio y septiembre del 2020. Se excluyó a 219 encuestados por no cumplir criterios de inclusión. Se determinó el consumo de riesgo mediante puntajes AUDIT-C. Más de 5 puntos para hombres, más de 4 para mujeres. Resultados 16.319 participantes adultos (18-65 años) con una media de 31,9 años (±9,2), con predominio de participación masculina 64,5% (n=10.531). El 39,3% (n=6.408) proveniente de Asunción. El 50,4% (n=8.254) posee educación universitaria completa. Del total de encuestados, el 39,1% (n=6.385) son hombres con consumo de riesgo (más de 5 en el puntaje) y el 22,7% (n=3.712) corresponden a las mujeres con consumo de riesgo (más de 4 en el puntaje). El grupo que presentó mayor consumo fue el de estudios universitarios completos con el 50,6% (n=8.254) Sin embargo, entre las mujeres, el 64% (n=3.712) presentó consumo de riesgo mientras que, en los hombres, el 60,7% (n=6.385). La RP fue de 0,95 IC95 (0,92 – 0,97) Es decir, las mujeres poseen 5% menos de posibilidad de padecer un consumo de riesgo respecto a los hombres. Discusión Durante la cuarentena estricta, el consumo de riesgo crecía conforme el nivel educativo de la población aumentaba. Las mujeres presentaron un consumo de riesgo menor que los hombres. Conocer este comportamiento ayudaría a fortalecer tareas de prevención en los grupos de mayor riesgo.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) in stages T1 and T2 can be treated either with radical prostatectomy (RP) or with radiotherapy. But in the clinical trials, the survival probability after RP is related to the Gleason score (GS) from the operation and the survival probability after radiotherapy - to the GS from the biopsy. Both GSs often do not coincide. Objective: To study the connection between biopsy/prostatectomy-GS of a homogeneous group of patients, all treated only with RP, and the biochemical progression-free survival (BPFS) of those patients. Methods: The patients available for analysis were 111. All underwent RP (either open or laparoscopic) in our institution. Information about the GSs and the BPFS was collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were used. Results: Time to biochemical progression is shorter for patients with biopsy- and prostatectomy- GS≥ 7 compared with biopsy- and prostatectomy-GS < 7 patients. Discussion: With this study, we show that both GSs have a similar implication on the BPFS, with prostatectomy-GS giving slightly better accuracy than the biopsy-GS in predicting survival. Conclusion: Both GSs are comparable and can be used when discussing the survival probabilities of the patient and choosing the treatment options.
The Principality of Hutt River (1970-2020) in Australia: Accounting for Sovereignty
Authors: Castro Vincent Bicudo de
Published: December 2022

This article broadens the perspective of accounting beyond examining its role in sovereign states to examining the role of accounting within the performance of micronationality. With an increasing trend toward post-nationalism, the status quo of sovereign states as sole providers of citizenship has been challenged by micronations. This article examines how a micronation (i.e., the Principality of Hutt River), exercised from the State of Western Australia, adopted the formal trappings of a sovereign state to uphold its independence from its host state (i.e., the Commonwealth of Australia) and how the host state responded through boundary work. Accounting was mobilised by the host state to deliver a coup de grâce to the micronation by constraining its financial resources through a legal battle over tax collection. A documentary and bibliographic research approach was adopted to examine the micronation’s adopted trappings of state and the host state’s boundary work in dismissing any potential legitimacy for the micronation towards sovereignty. The micronation’s formal trappings of a sovereign state and the host state’s reaction through boundary work, both including accounting technologies, illuminates the notions of the advent and operation of micronations, in competition with sovereign states and the roles of accounting in the advance of a post-national zeitgeist.

Natural Killer Cells and Their Engineering with CAR to Share the Road to Cancer Immunotherapy with CAR-T Cells

Despite recent advances in immunotherapy and conventional therapies, challenges still remain for the treatment of cancer, especially for solid tumors. Our group studies natural killer (NK) cell biology and utilizes engineered NK cells, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-redirected NK cells, derived from peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood, and iPSCs for the treatment of various cancers, including both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Compared to CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells are safer and have the advantage of being administered as allogeneic, off-the-shelf cell therapy products. We also study the combination of engineered NK cells with other therapies.

The CAR2BRAIN study: CAR-NK cell therapy for glioblastoma patients

The first-in-human phase I CAR2BRAIN study is the world´s first clinical trial to explore CAR-NK cell therapy in brain tumor patients. We explored adoptive local NK-92/5.28.z CAR-NK cell therapy targeted against HER2 in glioblastoma patients suffering from a relapse. Three dose-levels of irradiated CAR-NK cells injected into the wall of the resection cavity were explored: 1 x 10^7, 3 x 10^7 and 1 x 10^8 cells. None of the patients presented with dose-limiting toxicity, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Five out of nine patients achieved stable disease lasting between 7 and 37 weeks after relapse surgery and CAR-NK cell injection. The amount of intratumoral CD8+ T-cell infiltration before CAR-NK cell injection correlated with progression-free and overall survival intervals.
A Study on the Improvement of Safety Management by Improving the Production Quality of PC(Precast Concrete) : PC Slab Falling Accident in Construction of Logistics Warehouse

Published: December 2022

On 16th of November 2021, the PC slab had been fallen out and dropped to approximately 10M downstairs slab during the PC slab concrete pouring work on the rooftop floor of new logistics warehouse construction in Hwaseoung, Gyeonggi-do, and this accident was mainly caused by the bending fracture of concrete since the weaker strength of the upper compressed concrete compared to the tensile strength of central lower parts failed to withstand the high stress of upper topping concrete pouring. For the investigation of root-cause for above mentioned accident, the design compressive strength had been tested by utilizing the core sampling(extracting) method for the PC slab which was fallen out while pouring topping concrete, and as a result, the average compressive strength of three(3) concrete specimens collected from the relevant member through the destructive test was observed as 21.7MPa (No.1 – 20.6MPa, No.2 – 18.1MPa, No.3 – 26.5 MPa) which is only 55% level of the design compressive strength of 40MPa. The main cause that the average compressive strength was observed at about 55% level of the design compressive strength of 40MPa is the failure to comply with the required standard/specification for steam curing during the PC production processing. The required conditions to be complied for the steam curing are 60±10℃(Max. 80℃ or less) of curing temperature, 20℃/h or less of temperature rise rate and shall be managed by the concrete maturity, however, it was reported as a result of investigating the PC manufacturer that the strength had not reached to the standard strength before the mold deformation due to the steam curing with low temperature condition at opened space. The logistics warehouses have been continuously requested to be expanded after COVID-19 Pandemic, and the demand of PC which has merit in logistics warehouse construction work has been rapidly increasing. As a result, the operation rate of PC manufacturers currently reaches the maximum production limit, instead, PCs have been indiscriminately produced at small workplaces which have not able to satisfy the design compressive strength, construction quality and safety requirements. In the current situation, the construction site and workers are exposed to the potential risk of falling accidents since any relevant law or regulation on non-securing quality requirements such as the compressive strength is not stipulated yet. For this reason, the PC products with secured quality requirements shall delivered and construction safety management shall be improved by implementation of PC Factory Certification System at the earliest. For the purpose of this study, the PC factory certification system should be introduced, the research method was selected based on PC drop accidents and domestic and international operational cases of each country's certification system.
Validity of the Korean Social re-Integration Predictive Indicator for ex-offenders
Authors:   Form of Public Safety and Culture, Gong Jung Sik
Published: December 2022

Historically, crime has occurred continuously, a risk factor promoting social anxiety worldwide. As it is impossible to solve the crime problem completely, the country has no choice but to manage crime prevention and countermeasures. Considering the social environment that avoids those with a criminal history, including pre-prisoners, severe punishments and social exclusion against them are expected to intensify. However, because we cannot wholly exclude or alienate them from our society, we must find a way to live harmoniously with them in our community. This study was conducted to verify the validity of the existing Korean Social re-Integration Predictive Indicator (K-SIPI) and improve its predictive power. In addition, we aimed to reduce the number of items with poor explanatory power on the life-emotional scale, which consisted of an excessive number of items that lessened the concentration of survey takers. To verify the validity, we conducted descriptive statistics, logistic regression analysis, ROC analysis, etc., by randomly collecting 2,514 cases from the K-SIPI data of the Korea Justice Protection and Welfare Service. In addition, the level of social adaptation of the subject of legal protection was divided into high, medium, and low through ANOVA. As a result of the analysis, 86 items in the current K-SIPI were reconstructed into 63 items through validation. Reconstructing the test tool's items concisely is meaningful in that it can increase the concentration of survey takers and ensure more reliable test results. For discussion and suggestions, it is necessary to conduct further research on the scales or items removed by validating the current K-SIPI. The measures or items emphasized in previous studies showed weak predictive powers in our study. We discuss this as a result of the current K-SIPI being conducted in the early stages of preparing for social return after release (i.e., before the Korea Rehabilitation Agency exercises rehabilitation). Furthermore, the K-SIPI is used only for pre-test rather than for post-test, making it impossible to measure the effectiveness and analyze the performance of various protective treatment programs provided to the target. Thus, making it mandatory to conduct pre-and post- K-SPI is needed for the program's performance evaluation.

Authors: Galletti Escobar Angelina Francine
Published: December 2022

Este ensayo académico desarrolla la necesidad de una definición de la institución jurídica de los objetos de doble uso en el contexto de un conflicto armado internacional. Lo hace partiendo de las teorías actualmente existentes entre los doctrinarios y las cortes penales internacionales, a través de una demostración de que dichas teorías son insuficientes para garantizar los principios de atribución de responsabilidad en el derecho penal internacional. Tras el análisis correspondiente, se concluye que es necesario para garantizar la objetividad, el principio de legalidad y el principio de presunción de inocencia, que exista una definición de los objetos de doble uso, consensuada por la comunidad Internacional, con la finalidad de que el régimen correspondiente a los conflictos armados, el Derecho Internacional Humanitario, evolucione con la actualidad de las formas en las cuales se conducen las hostilidades, preservando sus principios fundamentales.
Women without children
Authors: Hovsepian Fiona L.
Published: December 2022

Heuristic methodology (Moustakas, 1990) was employed to explore the experiences and identities of women without children in relation to predominant discourses around womanhood and motherhood. Seven co-researchers participated in the study, a mix of intentionally and involuntarily childless women aged between 50 and 75. Individual depictions were created through a narrational technique of empathic explication, based on data produced from conversational interviews and historical material. A composite depiction was then created, illustrating an archetypal experiential journey unfolding from the position of being female and conveying key aspects of experience and processes of identity formation. Research findings reveal that embodied experiences of womanhood from the position of a woman without children demonstrate complex, diverse, and transpersonal experiences that challenge and surpass the boundaries of predominant conceptions of womanhood. The study’s findings support the development of a feminist participatory perspective in working to destabilise and reconceptualise essentialist conceptions pertaining to womanhood, and effectively challenge the widespread conflation of ‘woman’ with ‘mother’ in predominant discourses.

Published: December 2022

Industrial structures built with different materials and methods play an important role in the sector with development of industry and increase in energy need. Many parameters are considered in the design and application phase of industrial structures to provide service for many years. The aim of this study is to examine dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete industrial chimneys depending on soil-structure interaction (SSI). For this reason, a reinforced concrete industrial chimney, which was exposed to the 1999 Kocaeli Earthquake, was chosen as a sample. The effect of soils with different properties (hard, medium and soft) on the dynamic behavior of the selected structure was investigated numerically by linear time history analysis in ANSYS finite element program. The horizontal component of the Kocaeli Earthquake (1999) was used in analyses. As a result of the studies, besides the mode shape and frequency of structure, stress, strain and displacements were also obtained. It has been observed that as the hardness of the soil environment decreases (transition from hard soil to soft soil), chimney apex displacements and stresses on the edge of the voids increase.

Mineral Exploration and Mining in Sumatra, Indonesia—A Historical Overview
Authors: Leeuwen Theo van
Published: December 2022

Sumatra, Indonesia, has a long and checkered history of mineral exploration and mining that dates back to prehistoric times. These activities have been dominated by gold, involving both the local population and mostly foreign companies. The first documented mining activity was the reopening of the ancient silver-rich Salida gold mine in West Sumatra in 1669 by the VOC (Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie), a Dutch trading company that for two centuries monopolized trade between Europe and Asia. The government of the Netherlands East Indies initiated geologic investigations and mineral exploration in 1850, and private industry followed 30 years later. Between 1899 and 1940, 14 gold mines were developed, most of which were short-lived and uneconomic. Total production between 1899 and 1940 was 101 t Au and 1.2 Mt Ag. During the Japanese occupation, in its aftermath, and for the first 20 years of Indonesia’s independence, there was very little activity. In 1967, introduction of new foreign investment and mining laws by the New Order government heralded a new era of exploration and mining activity that continues to the present day. Since 1967, there have been several peaks in exploration activity, viz. 1969 to 1973 (porphyry copper), 1985 to 1990 (gold), 1995 to 1999 (gold), and 2006 to 2010 (multi-commodity). A variety of previously unknown mineralization types were discovered, including porphyry Cu, high-sulfidation Au, sediment-hosted Au, and sediment-hosted Pb-Zn. Activity during the modern area has included the reopening of one of the old Dutch mines, development of four new gold discoveries including the giant Martabe district (310 t Au), and exploitation of several small Fe skarn deposits known from the Dutch time. By world standards, to this day Sumatra remains underexplored.

Depression is a natural feeling disorder (mood) which is characterized by excessive feelings of sadness, depression, lack of enthusiasm, feeling worthless, feeling that life is empty and hopeless, thinking is centered on failure and self-blame or self-blame, and often accompanied by envy and suicidal thoughts. Depressive disorders can occur in anyone with a higher risk of physical illness, which is about 15-60%. Medical conditions that have long been associated with depressive disorders include primary tension-type headache (TTH). Patients with chronic TTH will experience more severe depression than episodic TTH and chronic headache is significantly associated with psychopathological scores, but the direction of the relationship is not clear. This study aims to determine the relationship between the intensity of tension-type headaches and the degree of depression. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross sectional research design. To find out the frequency and duration of tension-type headaches, the history and filling of the questionnaire provided were carried out. Then the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) questionnaire was used to assess the degree of depression. Patients with tension headaches were assessed based on The International Headache Classification 2nd Edition in 2004, and pain intensity was assessed based on the NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) score. The results showed that the Spearman correlation test obtained a significance value of 0.014, a correlation value of 0.399. between the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score on the subject of tension-type headache, and there is a significant relationship between the intensity of the tension-type headache and depression where the higher the pain intensity, the more severe the pain. degree of depression.

An Empirical Study on the Coupling and Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Common Wealth
Authors: Chen Yue
Published: December 2022

There is a close coupling interaction between digital inclusive finance and common affluence. By constructing the digital inclusive finance and common affluence measurement index system and selecting the panel data of China from 2014 to 2020, the digital inclusive finance index and common affluence index and their coupling coordination status are measured by using entropy weight method and coupling coordination model. The study shows that: ① The digital inclusive finance index and common wealth index at national, regional and urban-rural levels are on the rise, but still show different degrees of disparity between regions and urban-rural areas. ②The coupling coordination level of digital inclusive finance and common wealth development continues to increase, and has experienced four development stages: extreme dissonance, near dissonance, intermediate coordination and benign coordination. ③ The relative development levels of digital inclusive finance and common affluence show alternating lags. Based on the above findings, we propose policy recommendations to promote the high-quality development of digital inclusive finance, drive common wealth, and promote the coupled and coordinated development of both from the perspective of narrowing the "three gaps".
Gender-Stereotyped Barriers Against Women Football Players in Turkey: A Qualitative Perspective on the Eccles’ Expectancy-Value Theory
Authors: ELMAS Safter , AŞÇI F. Hülya
Published: December 2022

This qualitative research aimed to investigate the experiences of women football players in Turkey in terms of Eccles’ Expectancy-Value Theory from a gender stereotypes perspective. A phenomenological method was used to allow a deeper understanding of their experiences. The research group consisted of eight women from three different football league levels in Istanbul, TR. The data were analyzed via thematic and content analysis. The identified themes after content analysis are: (1) loving football; (2) instrumentality of football; (3) sociocultural barriers against women players; (4) multidimensional perceived costs. According to these findings, we can illustrate that the social, cultural, and institutional environment of the women players creates many problems, difficulties, and deprivations in their participation, which make it difficult for their expectancy for success, task values, and future plans in their sports. In order to make the experiences of female football players about gender-based stereotypes more understandable, it is recommended that more studies that deal with the qualitative method and Eccles' theory should be done in future studies.

Authors: Khusniyah Nurul Lailatul , Husnawadi Husnawadi
Published: December 2022

Although a wide array of studies has sufficiently documented the use of Flipped and Corpus learning methods in ELT context respectively, marrying both in EFL grammar classes remains scanty. To fill this gap, this collaborative action research (CAR) jointly designed and implemented flipped classroom-based corpus instruction involving an English grammar instructor to promote the EFL students’ grammatical knowledge and documented their perceptions on how the learning model promoted their grammatical knowledge and the challenges they encountered at an Indonesian state Islamic University. Pre-, mid- and post-tests measuring the students’ grammatical knowledge were administered, and an open-ended questionnaire and focus group discussion were respectively distributed and conducted to garner the qualitative evidence. The statistical evidence showed that there were statistically and practically significant grammatical knowledge gains at the end of the term. The qualitative evidence suggested that it was due to the adequacy of English input and feedbacks from their peers and the grammar instructor. The students also perceived that low internet bandwidth and a lack of understanding on the use of the Coca database were their primary learning barriers, while the grammar instructor found it more daunting to cater the instruction. This is the first study marrying both the pedagogical methods and provides the empirical evidence of its efficacy and feasibility for EFL grammar instruction. Limitations and recommendations for further studies are discussed.

Authors: Silva Sarah Renata Menezes e , Ferraz Serafim Firmo de Souza
Published: December 2022

As abordagens à aprendizagem são um conjunto de motivação e estratégia adotado pelos alunos em sala de aula. Assim, o estudante pode assumir uma abordagem superficial ou profunda, de acordo com sua percepção do que é esperado dele. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar como a utilização de casos de ensino pode se relacionar com as abordagens à aprendizagem em alunos de graduação em Administração. Trata-se de um experimento longitudinal, de mensurações repetidas, com análise quantitativa e qualitativa. Para tanto, foi utilizado o Questionário Revisado de Processo de Estudo (R-SPQ-2F), de Biggs, Kember e Leung (2001) em um universo de 67 alunos, com amostragem de 38 indivíduos na coleta quantitativa e entrevista com 14 estudantes. Conclui-se que os casos de ensino podem contribuir para a motivação e a estratégia profundas, principalmente estimulando a participação ativa dos alunos e sua corresponsabilização pelo próprio aprendizado. Importa destacar que ações, tanto dos alunos quanto dos professores, podem melhorar a experiência de utilização de casos, tais como: adaptar as avaliações e o nível de complexidade das atividades; disponibilidade e preparação prévia dos alunos; e evitar o rateio de questões, a polarização das discussões e o acúmulo de atividades. As características pessoais de alunos e professores, objetivo acadêmico e conhecimento prévio dos estudantes, cansaço, clima em sala de aula e uso de bonificações também podem se associar à abordagem à aprendizagem utilizada pelos alunos.

Energy Performance Certificates and the Capitalization of Utility Costs in Rents: The Potential Role of Asymmetric Information and Uncertainty
Authors: Khazal Aras , Sønstebø Ole Jakob
Published: December 2022

This paper is the first to investigate the relationship between the energy efficiency of dwellings, measured by the energy performance certificate (EPC), and utility cost inclusion in rental prices. First, we investigate potential drivers behind the decision to include utility costs in rents. We find that labeled dwellings are more likely to include utility costs and that this likelihood is higher among energy-efficient dwellings than among inefficient dwellings. Next, we surprisingly find that utility costs seem to be under-capitalized in energy-inefficient dwellings. These results are confirmed with the counterfactual decomposition approach. Overall, the findings indicate that the EPC labeling policy may be important for both landlord and tenant decision-making and may enhance market efficiency.

tribunal protector de la fe en el arzobispado de México (1813-1814). Un caso excepcional tras la supresión del Santo Oficio
Authors: Quezada Lara José Luis
Published: December 2022

El artículo se ocupa de la actividad del tribunal protector de la fe establecido en México por el arzobispo y exinquisidor Antonio de Bergosa en cumplimiento de los decretos de las Cortes de Cádiz, que habían suprimido la Inquisición en 1813. El trabajo reflexiona sobre los proyectos reformistas de la segunda mitad del siglo xviii y la política religiosa del primer liberalismo hispánico de las Cortes. A partir de algunos casos formados por el tribunal del arzobispo Bergosa, el autor sugiere la posibilidad de que hubiesen existido tribunales semejantes en otras diócesis.
KARAKTERISTIK PEMILIHAN MODA ANGKUTAN PERKOTAAN
Authors: Subastian Djamal , Novita Christin Gloriani , Subarto Subarto
Published: December 2022

Di sebagian besar kawasan perkotaan di Indonesia, pangsa angkutan umum cenderung terus menurun, kemungkinan sebagai dampak meningkatnya taraf pendapatan masyarakat yang ditandai dengan meningkatnya kepemilikan kendaraan pribadi (roda dua dan roda empat), juga kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh maraknya angkutan berbasis aplikasi daring. Di kawasan perkotaan lainnya, sebagian besar sudah sulit untuk menemukan angkutan umum dalam trayek,  jika ada yang beroperasi itupun dalam kondisi yang memprihatinkan, terutama karena kurangnya jumlah penumpang yang menggunakannya. Di sisi lain, meningkatkan penggunaan angkutan umum merupakan salah satu upaya utama agar penggunaan jaringan jalan lebih efisien dan transportasi lebih berkelanjutan, dan untuk itu dilakukan penelitian untuk menggali faktor utama yang mempengaruhi pemilihan angkutan umum perkotaan. Hasilnya, faktor utama pada pemilihan moda angkutan perkotaan adalah ketersediaan jadwal angkutan umum dan waktu tunggu angkutan umum, dan bagi pekerja ditambah dengan faktor ketersediaan pengatur udara (AC). Untuk kota kecil, faktor usia kendaraan merupakan faktor tambahan yang cukup signifkan. Dengan memperhatikan pemenuhan faktor-faktor tersebut dalam perbaikan layanan angkutan umum, diharapkan terjadi peningkatan pangsa penggunaan angkutan umum.
