Online Review and Customer Purchase Intention in Social ECommerce Context; Role of Trust as a Mediator and Source Credibility as Moderator
Authors:   Nizwa College of Technology, Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman, Tahir Dr. Muhammad
Published: June 2021

Previous literature supports the role of online reviews in influencing customer purchase intentions in the online context. However, the research gap exists based on the underlying mechanism of influence of online reviews on customer purchase intentions and the mediating and moderating variables in this relationship. The current study addressed this research gap by developing and testing a model of online reviews and customer purchase intention in the social media-e-commerce context. Additionally, we tested trust as mediator and source credibility as moderator. Data were collected from 360 participants of social media users by using an online survey. The analysis was performed through confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS and consists of two stages. The result indicates that online reviews have positive and significant effects on purchase intentions (β=.352, P<0.05); and customer trust (β=.691, P<0.05). Furthermore, customer trust has positive and significant effects on purchase intention (β=.240, P<0.05). Additionally, we found partial support for the mediating nature of trust between the relationship of online reviews and purchase intention. We also found support that source credibility moderates the mediating relationship of customer trust. Our findings imply that trust and source credibility play significant role in shaping the online reviews and purchase intention relationship.

The study aimed to explore the significance of the relationship between current asset management, and financial efficiency in the textile sector of Pakistan. Financial data were collected for 50 textile companies for the year 2001 to 2017. The researchers analyzed the study using panel-data estimation techniques like the fixed as well as the random-effect after applying the Hausman-test, and LM-test. Fisher type panel unit root test was also applied. The empirical results of the study indicate that current asset ratio as the measure of current asset management is a highly negatively significant driver of financial efficiency in the textile sector of Pakistan. Also, the controlling factors like leverage, and tangibility are significant factors of financial efficiency. The policymakers, and management of the companies in the textile sector of Pakistan should carefully consider current asset ratio for deciding on enhancing the financial efficiency of their firm as current asset ratio decreases financial efficiency in this sector.They should take careful decision in their current asset management practices.
Schwäbische Reichsstädte im Spätmittelalter
Authors: Hirbodian Sigrid
Published: June 2021

Die Reichsstädte sind neben den großen Territorien Württemberg, Vorderöster-reich und Kurpfalz die bestimmenden politischen Kräfte in Schwaben über die gesamte Vormoderne hinweg – Kräfte zumal, die in anderen Regionen des Reiches (vom Mittelrhein, dem Elsass und Thüringen vielleicht einmal abgesehen) in dieser Form nicht vorhanden sind. Insofern sind die Reichsstädte in dieser Zahl und Bedeutung tatsächlich etwas Typisches und zugleich Besonderes für unsere Regi-on. Typisch, weil sie in ihrer Ausprägung, aber auch in ihren Zusammenschlüssen Schwaben nach außen hin repräsentierten, besonders, weil eine solch starke Städte-landschaft im spätmittelalterlichen Reich ihresgleichen suchte.
İnternet Risk Mi, Fırsat Mı?
Authors: Ünüvar Necdet
Published: June 2021

Teknolojinin gelişmesi ve kullanımının artması, günümüzdeki en önemli problemlerinden biri olan bağımlılık sorununun çerçevesini genişletmiştir. Bağımlılık, çok sektörlü, çok paydaşlı, çok karmaşık, çok boyutlu bir sorundur ve yaşı, cinsiyeti, coğrafyası, rengi ve dönemi yoktur. Bağımlılığın sebepleri ve gidişatı farklı olsa da insanlık adeta Anthony Giddens’ın yıllar önce söylediği “Modern dünya kontrolümüzden çıkmış bir dünyadır.” ifadesini doğrular yöne doğru evirilmektedir. Bağımlılık sadece madde kullanımına özgü bir boyuttayken gelinen noktada davanışsal boyutu daha çok kapsar hale gelmiştir. Bağımlılık, risk oluşturan faktörlerle koruyucu etkenlerin birbiriyle mücadele etmesi, riski oluşturan etkenlerin ağır basması durumunda bağımlı oluşun ortaya çıktığı bir süreçtir. Aşırı teknoloji kullanımıyla ortaya çıkan internet ya da teknoloji bağımlılığı, diğer bağımlılık türleri gibi işlemektedir. Beyinde ceza ve ödül sisteminin olduğu limbik sistem, bağımlılığın temel çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Ödül ve ceza sisteminde bu sistem dopamin salgılanmasıyla kullanıma yönelimi sağlamaktadır. Ödül verildiğinde dopaminin arttığı, aksi durumda ise azaldığı nokta bağımlı oluşu ifade etmektedir. Uyuşturucuda, sigarada, alkolde, davranışta ve oyunda dopamin salgısının artırılması bağımlılık oluşturmanın temel felsefesini oluşturmaktadır. Teknoloji bağımlığı, ödüle verilen tepkiye dayalıdır ve ödülün ne zaman verileceğinin öngörülemediği koşulları kullanımın sayısını artırmakta ve cazip hale getirmektedir. Sigara, alkol, uyuşturucu nispeten öngörülebilen bir ödül sistemi üzerinden çalışır. Teknoloji bağımlılığı böyle bir bağımlılık değildir ve ödülün nerede, ne şekilde geleceğini kestirmek güçtür. Ayrıca her sosyal mecranın ödülü de birbirinden farklıdır. Bu haliyle internet bağımlılık boyutunda bir riski durumu oluştururken yaşamı kolaylaştırma yönünde de fırsatları ortaya çıkarmaktadır. İnternet fırsat penceresinden bakıldığında bilimsel faaliyetlere sağladığı kolaylıklar, iletişimin biçimindeki gelişmeler, mobil uygulamalarla bilgiye anında erişim, sosyalleşme ve buna benzer çok sayıda kolaylık sayılabilir. Buna göre internete fırsat penceresinden de risk penceresinden de bakmak olasıdır.
Quality microbiological diagnostics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing, an essential component of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and control efforts in Pacific island nations
Authors: Ferguson John Kenneth , Joseph Jacklyn , Kangapu Samson , Zoleveke Hilda , Townell Nicola , Duke Trevor , Manning Laurens , Lavu Evelyn
Published: June 2021

Problem: Emerging bacterial antimicrobial (antibiotic) resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human health. However, a majority of lower income countries do not have microbiological diagnostic testing for prompt, reliable confirmation of bloodstream infection and identification of AMR. Context: Clinicians in Pacific island nations are increasingly challenged by patients who have infection due to antimicrobialresistant bacteria. Treatment of infection remains empirical because of a lack of diagnostic testing capacity and may follow guidelines that were formulated without reference to local measures of AMR prevalence. There is limited understanding among clinicians of microbiology testing and test interpretation. Action: Examine the lessons learnt from pilot laboratory development programmes in two Pacific island nations that focused on establishing standard procedures for micrological diagnostics and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) and on improving the training of clinicians to increase their use of laboratory services. Outcome: The pilot programmes addressed a range of logistical difficulties and evaluated two blood culture systems. They also examined and improved internal QC implementation and evaluated the prevalence of AMR. Discussion: Continued development of microbiological diagnostic capability in the Pacific region is paramount. Pacific Island nations need to develop the capability of at least one central laboratory to culture AMR pathogens and subject them to quality-controlled AST or arrange for suitable referral to a nearby country.

Published: June 2021

Introduction: Field epidemiology training programmes (FETPs) emphasize competency-based training and learning by doing. Supervision of FETP trainees is critical for programmes to achieve learning outcomes. We sought to address a knowledge gap regarding what constitutes effective FETP supervision. Methods: We investigated FETP supervision using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected through a survey of FETP directors. Qualitative data included written feedback from the survey and a focus group discussion (FGD) conducted with FETP supervisors at the 8th South-East Asia and Western Pacific Bi-regional TEPHINET Conference. FGD questions focused on effective supervisory qualities and activities and challenges to effective supervision. We calculated descriptive statistics for quantitative data and analysed qualitative data using a deductive content analysis approach. Results: Eleven FETP directors responded to the survey and 23 participated in the FGD. Overall, supervision was seen as very important for trainee outcomes. Participants identified the different roles of academic and field supervisors but emphasized the importance of an enabling and supporting attitude towards trainees. Soft skills and interpersonal abilities were among the most important qualities identified for effective supervision. Key challenges identified included a lack of consistency in supervisors’ technical knowledge and the difficulty of finding candidate supervisors with sufficient interest, availability and motivation for supervision. Discussion: Several practical recommendations arose from this study for supervision in FETPs, including recruiting and training supervisors with a more holistic range of skills. Our findings also provide key points for current FETP supervisors to consider to improve their own practice.

Published: June 2021

Objective: The study aimed to determine the factors that influence vaccine hesitancy among parents and caregivers of children 2 years old and younger in selected urban communities in Manila, Philippines. Methodology: The study used a cross-sectional study design with a modified questionnaire adapted from the SAGE Working Group on Vaccine Hesitancy. Self-administered surveys were conducted in two highly urbanized barangays (smallest administrative divisions) in Manila, Philippines. Results: The survey was completed by 110 respondents, comprised mostly of 20–39-year-old mothers. Most respondents (95.5%) believed that vaccines are protective however vaccine hesitancy rates among the respondents reached 36.4%. Respondents who believed in the protective nature of vaccines were less likely to report vaccine hesitancy and were nine times less likely to refuse vaccination for their children because of negative media exposure. The main reasons identified for vaccine hesitancy were exposure to negative media information and concerns about vaccine safety. The main negative media information identified by the respondents was related to the dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia®. Health-care workers and political leaders were the main supporters of vaccination in the community. Discussion: The recent events surrounding the Dengvaxia® controversy contributed to a decrease in vaccine confidence. The role of mass media in vaccine hesitancy was highlighted in this study, supporting previous evidence that vaccine hesitant parents tend to be more susceptible to media reports. The lack of association between sociodemographic factors and vaccine hesitancy implies that the determinants of vaccine hesitancy can be highly varied depending on context and setting.
Impact of seasonal influenza on polyclinic attendances for upper respiratory tract infections in Singapore
Authors: Soh Annabel C.Y. , Sharma Anurag , Muscatello David J.
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The burden of influenza on primary health-care services is not well established in tropical countries, where there are no clearly defined influenza seasons. We aimed to estimate the association between influenza infection activity and polyclinic attendance rates for upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in the Singapore population. Methods: We used generalized additive time series models to estimate the association between the proportion of respiratory tests positive for influenza infection in Singapore reported to the World Health Organization every week, and the population rate of polyclinic attendances in Singapore for physician-diagnosed URTI, which includes influenza-like illness (ILI), for six years from 2012 through 2017. Where data were available, we controlled for other infections that can cause fever or respiratory symptoms. Results: Influenza, dengue fever and chickenpox (varicella) were positively associated with acute URTI polyclinic attendances. The estimated URTI polyclinic attendance rates attributable to influenza, dengue fever and chickenpox were 618.9 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 501.6–736.3), 153.3 (95% CI: 16.5–290.2) and 1751.5 (95% CI: 1246.3–2256.8) per 100 000 population per year, respectively. Conclusions: Influenza poses a considerable burden on primary health-care services in Singapore. However, a substantial number of polyclinic attendances due to febrile infections such as dengue fever and chickenpox appear to be recorded as URTI in the polyclinic database. These associations require further investigation.
Sistemas constructivos en la tipología doméstica de la época virreinal en las ciudades de León y Granada, Nicaragua: arquitectura con valor tecnológico-popular
Authors: Estrada Castillo Alicia Auxiliadora
Published: June 2021

El adobe, taquezal y albardeado, reconocidos sistemas constructivos tradicionales fueron introducidos en la época virreinal en el Nuevo Mundo, suponiendo un hibridismo tecnológico entre las poblaciones nativas y las españolas, a través de la materialización de modelos de tipologías arquitectónicas indispensables como la vivienda. Estas nacientes células domésticas junto a regulaciones urbanísticas del Viejo Mundo, adaptadas a las determinantes del medio natural, fueron definiendo a lo largo de siglos el paisaje cultural de la mayoría de asentamientos humanos en la región del pacífico y centro de Nicaragua, con mayor acervo de exponentes en León en su segundo lugar de fundación y Granada; ciudades primigenias de la conquista española en el siglo XVI.  Asimismo, las técnicas y habilidades adquiridas en el tequio de la construcción y sus oficios derivados, permitieron la selección y explotación de materia prima vernácula manifestada en la calidad constructiva de la llamada arquitectura colonial doméstica y su evolución espacial, funcional y estilística. Su sobrevivencia a eventualidades naturales, bélicas y demandas sociales contemporáneas, se debe a la aceptación social, los bajos costos y al aprendizaje y reaprendizaje de los modelos. Actualmente, muchas continúan en uso y forman parte de la identidad colectiva al ocupar un lugar en la historia nicaragüense, adquiriendo valores tecnológicos-populares por conocimientos constructivos que han sido objeto de mención y estudio por diversos autores desde la época virreinal, independentista y contemporánea, coincidiendo en la necesidad de conservar sus atributos para ser heredadas a las futuras generaciones. No obstante, para ello es primordial la sensibilización patrimonial y la formación profesional sobre la atención adecuada de estas viviendas singulares integrantes del vasto patrimonio cultural de la nación.

Christine de Pizan e o humanismo francês: elementos para contextualização histórica
Authors: Schmidt Ana Rieger
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo busca oferecer elementos suficientes para localizar a filósofa e poetisa Christine de Pizan no contexto intelectual do humanismo francês no início do XV. Esse objetivo responde a uma dificuldade que acompanha o estudo da atividade filosófica do período medieval em meio laico. Enquanto mulher, Pizan é necessariamente laica, e sua produção literária se deu fora dos limites normalmente delineados como objeto de estudo dos historiadores da filosofia medieval, qual seja, a produção tipicamente escolástica.

Fundamento do universal no singular em Tomás de Aquino: natureza comum, similitude e/ou ideia?
Authors: Silva Filho Luiz Marcos da
Published: June 2021

Neste artigo, pretendo analisar na filosofia de Tomás de Aquino (i) se a “essência absolutamente considerada” (ou “natureza comum”) pode desempenhar papel de fundamento do universal na coisa singular ou indivíduo e (ii) se ela é obtida simultaneamente com a abstração inteligível da essência com intenção de universalidade ou por uma “dupla abstração”. Além disso, procurarei ponderar se a “essência absolutamente considerada” prescinde ou não de certa apropriação tomasiana de uma teoria das ideias e se relacioná-la com as ideias é necessário para a fundamentação da “similitude” entre os universais e os indivíduos. Por fim, abordarei algumas recepções díspares de Tomás de Aquino nos séculos XX e XXI, como realista direto, essencialista, realista indireto, representacionalista etc.
AVERIGUAÇÃO DO PORQUÊ DAS DISTINTAS VISÕES SOBRE O ARMAMENTO NUCLEAR DE CADA NOVO GOVERNO DOS ESTADOS UNIDOS DA AMÉRICA NO PÓS-GUERRA FRIA
Authors: Silva Felipe Dalcin
Published: June 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar os fatores que influenciaram as mudanças de perspectiva em relação ao armamento nuclear dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) em cada governo no pós-Guerra Fria. Para que isso seja atingido é necessário levar em consideração os seguintes fatores: 1. O que explica as percepções distintas de ameaça nuclear que Washington encarou contra si e contra seus aliados e; 2. O porquê de cada administração governamental estadunidense requisitar determinadas atitudes do país em relação a manutenção e/ou desenvolvimento e/ou desmantelamento de sistemas de armas nucleares. As fontes primárias que serviram de base para a elaboração deste texto foram os documentos de defesa dos EUA, no pós-Guerra Fria, que discorrem sobre armas nucleares. Tendo como principal foco o Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), o qual é reescrito de acordo com a visão de cada novo governo que toma posse da presidência em Washington. Já as fontes secundárias, foram artigos, livros e notícias que tratam desses mesmos temas. A hipótese deste trabalho é que a visão irregular dos diferentes governos nos EUA pode ser explicada, sobretudo pelo contexto temporal que cada administração está inserida. Esta pesquisa apresenta grande relevância à medida que expõe e compara a visão das administrações estadunidenses sobre as armas nucleares. Elencando, principalmente, os fatores que explicam discrepâncias em determinados aspectos ao longo do tempo e auxiliando em um melhor entendimento da postura nuclear estadunidense no governo de Donald Trump e até mesmo fazer previsões sobre como Joe Biden pode lidar com esse tipo de armamento.
O PARADIGMA DA NUCLEARIZAÇÃO FRENTE À ESTABILIDADE REGIONAL: UMA ANÁLISE COMPARADA ENTRE COREIA DO NORTE E IRÃ SOB A LUZ DA DISSUASÃO
Authors: De Souza Jaíne Garcia , De Oliveira Rodrigues Marianna , Silva de Oliveira Pedro Henrique
Published: June 2021

Este artigo investiga a importância do programa nuclear do Irã para a garantia da estabilidade regional do Oriente Médio, a partir da análise comparada com o exitoso programa nuclear da Coreia do Norte. Desse modo, esta pesquisa trabalha com o método histórico comparativo. Nesse sentido, os autores trabalham com a hipótese de que a nuclearização do Estado iraniano traria um novo cenário de estabilidade do Complexo Regional de Segurança (CRS). Os resultados preliminares apontam para a necessidade de contrabalanço do protagonismo israelense em termos militares e nucleares regionais, conferindo à nuclearização iraniana o poder de atenuar assimetrias de poder entre os Estados, que são as responsáveis pela perpetuação dos conflitos. Sendo assim, a presente investigação parte de uma matriz teórica pautada na teoria da dissuasão e compreende que armamentos atômicos se constituem como elementos dissuasórios por excelência devido às suas capacidades de alterar as dinâmicas da balança de poder regional.

Postoperative Digit and Hand Replantation Protocols: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Chen Christopher , Scott Frank , Ipaktchi Kyros R. , Lauder Alexander
Published: June 2021

Successful replantation and revascularization of the hand and digit require a skilled team with urgent access to an operating room with microsurgical capabilities. Although careful indications and surgical techniques contribute to success, postoperative management also plays a vital role in the survival of a replanted digit. Previous research has assessed surgical efficiency and techniques to conduct these procedures, but few studies evaluate postoperative protocols to care for patients undergoing these procedures. Because of the lack of high-level evidence specific to replantation, many common postoperative practices related to monitoring, anticoagulation, and diet have been inferred from elective microsurgical procedures, despite notable differences in operating conditions. The highest level of evidence pertaining to digital replantation was found with the use of peripheral nerve blockade, leeching/bleeding, and nicotine use. This review provides an in-depth evaluation of the literature and insight into the rationale and level of evidence that support each postoperative intervention. It highlights institutional variability and a paucity of high-level evidence pertaining to this topic while identifying the areas of future research.
Electricity Tariff Rebalancing in Emerging Countries: The Efficiency-equity Tradeoff and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Distributed Generation
Authors: Hancevic Pedro I. , Nunez Hector M. , Rosellon Juan
Published: June 2021

Existing tariff schemes often fail to achieve basic economic objectives. They set prices per unit that either exceed or fall short the social marginal cost and produce unfair distributional outcomes. In many cases, electricity rates also contribute to unsustainable fiscal deficits due to the (almost) generalized electricity subsidies. Moreover, inefficient residential tariffs do not favor the adoption of green technologies and the investment in energy efficiency improvements. We argue that the efficient deployment of green technologies, and more generally, the clean energy transition, will require electricity tariff reforms. In this paper, we use household level data and hourly industry data from Mexico to show how more efficient pricing mechanisms (such as a two-part tariff scheme in the context of efficient nodal pricing), combined with well-design environmental regulations (e.g., net-metering schemes) and correctly targeted transfer programs (e.g., means testing mechanisms) can improve economic, social, and environmental outcomes significantly, all at once.
Teaching Legal Ethics by Non-Ethical Means – With Special Attention to Facts, Roles and Respect Everywhere in the Legal Curriculum

Teaching Legal Ethics by Non-Ethical Means – With Special Attention to Facts, Roles and Respect Everywhere in the Legal Curriculum

Legal ethics may be taught indirectly, given resistance to ethics as a separate and presumably merely subjective subject. This may be done by stressing the importance of facts (as the vast majority of legal issues relate to contested facts), of professional role consciousness and of the importance of formal and informal respect for all concerned. This indirect approach is best integrated into the whole of the legal curriculum, in moot practices and legal clinics offering perceptions of the administration of legal justice from receiving ends as well. Basic knowledge of forensic sciences, argumentation and rhetoric may do good here as well. Teachers of law are to set an example in their professional (and general) conduct.

Authors: Gomes Eva Pauliana Da Silva , Do Prado Edna Cristina
Published: June 2021

O objetivo central da presente pesquisa é apresentar a promoção, os obstáculos e as perspectivas da inclusão escolar no Ensino Fundamental I a partir da percepção dos professores que estão no início da carreira docente na rede pública de ensino municipal da capital alagoana. A pesquisa tem uma abordagem qualitativa e utilizaram-se questionários. Os resultados apontam que os professores com carreira docente iniciante veem a inclusão escolar com avanços adquiridos a partir de aspectos legais, mas afirmam que a implementação na prática ainda é distante da realidade. A promoção explicita-se na garantia da acessibilidade ao cotidiano escolar. Entre os obstáculos, destacam-se as limitações da formação inicial; a ausência de apoio pedagógico e a adaptação de atividades a partir das necessidades educacionais das crianças e as perspectivas estão relacionadas à constante busca por verdadeiros espaços de aprendizagem inclusiva com práticas pedagógicas que atendam às especificidades de cada criança.

Não apenas o cinema, mas também a televisão, reforçam a importância das imagens agentes na formação acadêmica inicial de crianças e jovens inseridos em um mundo cercado por personagens que ditam o nosso dia a dia imaginário. A leitura a seguir apresenta a série de TV Merlí, que suscita discussões acerca da desvalorização do ensino de filosofia, em especial no Brasil, que são corroboradas pelas políticas públicas mais recentes instituídas que reforçam a negligência do Estado brasileiro com o saber e fazer pensar de nossos estudantes. Por outro lado, a arte e o seu uso didático pedagógico dão esperança para o fazer, ensinar e refletir, assim como para as discussões e construções reflexivo acadêmicas sobre a Filosofia e o ato de filosofar.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as cenas de feitiços dos filmes da saga Harry Potter que podem ser utilizadas como apoio no ensino de Latim. Para tanto, exploram-se quais são as origens e as estruturas do latim uti-lizadas nos feitiços da referida série. O método adotado é a pesquisa filmográfica, com análise de conteúdo dos acha-dos. São encontrados apoios para ensino de etimologia; os casos nominativo, genitivo, acusativo, dativo, ablativo e vocativo; flexões de gênero, número e caso para substantivos e adjetivos; concordâncias; conjugações verbais, tempos verbais, pessoas; outras classes gramaticais; pronúncia; dentre outros. Debatem-se os métodos tradicionais e inovado-res para ensino do Latim e conclui-se que esta proposta de uso de cenas de filmes, assim como outras, oferece con-tribuições no sentido de ilustrar, atrair, concretizar e memorizar o conteúdo trabalhado, de maneira a despertar o interesse dos estudantes pelo seu próprio processo de aprendizagem.
Pulmonary TB and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis: clinical differences and similarities
Authors: Baluku J. B. , Nuwagira E. , Bongomin F. , Denning D. W.
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary TB (PTB) and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) are both progressive and debilitating parenchymal lung diseases with overlapping risk factors, symptomatology and radiological findings that often result in misdiagnosis of either disease.METHODS:
We undertook a narrative review approach to describe the clinical and radiological manifestations of CPA and PTB and highlight the salient features that differentiate these two closely related maladies.RESULTS: CPA is a frequent complication of treated PTB. In fact, 15–90%
of CPA cases occur in patients with residual lung lesions following treatment for PTB. While CPA predominantly affects older patients with underlying lung diseases, both PTB and CPA present with clinically indistinguishable symptoms. Chest imaging findings of cavitation and fibrosis are common
to both diseases. However, lymphadenopathy, miliary pattern and pleural effusion are predictive of active PTB, while aspergilloma, pleural thickening and paracavitary fibrosis are more common in CPA. Aspergillus-specific IgG serology has a central role in differentiating PTB (both active
and healed) from CPA with a high sensitivity and specificity.CONCLUSION: Aspergillus-specific IgG serology is key in differentiating PTB and PTB relapse from CPA. It may be worthwhile developing clinical predictive scores that can be used in low-income settings to differentiate
active TB, post-TB disease and TB+CPA co-infection.
SELECTED FACTORS AND PURCHASE PRICE LEVELS OF SOUR CHERRIES FOR PROCESSING IN POLAND
Authors: Kierczyńska Sylwia
Published: June 2021

This study aims to identify the factors forming the purchase price levels of sour cherries for processing in Poland and to determine the way such factors affect these price levels. The scope of the study covers the 2004-2018 period. The subject of the study were the annual average purchase prices of sour cherries for freezing and sour cherries for pressing. Those prices were published by the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics in the magazine “Rynek Owoców i Warzyw” [“Fruit and Vegetable Market”]. A multiple regression method was used for analysing the relationship between the purchase prices of sour cherries and their determinants. The estimation of the structural parameters of econometric models was done using the method of least squares. The estimated econometric models explain approximately 80% volatility in the purchase prices of sour cherries for processing. The sour cherry harvest both in Poland and Germany as well as the strawberry harvest in Poland proved to be significant for the purchase prices of sour cherries. Strawberries may be a substitute for sour cherries in food processing. The importance of this factor for the formation of the purchase prices of sour cherries is a significant result of this study.
SOURCES OF FINANCING AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN DAIRY FARMS WITH DIFFERENT SCALES OF COW REARING
Authors: Łuniewski Łukasz , Gołębiewska Barbara
Published: June 2021

The aim of the research was to evaluate the sources of financing agricultural activities in farms specialized in milk production. The subject of research was a group of family farms located in the Podlaskie and Mazowieckie voivodeships (provinces). The criterion for farm division was the number of cows in the basic herd. There was also an assessment of the most important factors conducive to the development of dairy farms. To do so, the opinions of dairy farmers were used, and their views in this regard were expressed on a five-point Likert scale. The research was conducted on a sample of 100 farms in 2021. The interpretation of the results was made in relation to the criterion adopted in the division of farms into quartiles. It was found that the main source of financing activities in dairy farms was own funds. The highest share of farms using commercial loans was in the group of farms with the largest number of cows. With an increase in the number of cows in a herd, the area of farms increased, which is understandable due to the need to produce roughage. The most important factors influencing the development possibilities of agricultural holdings were the uninterrupted collection of raw material and a stable milk purchase price, which guaranteed the farmers’ financial liquidity.

Published: June 2021

The paper presents the concept of globalization and regionalization as well as the importance for these processes on the activity of enterprises. The article analyzes the trendsof globalization and regionalization within Polish enterprises and the importance of Poland joining the structures of the European Union in the context of the ongoing regionalizationprocess. Data was used to analyze the level of regionalization and globalization of Polishenterprises by analyzing Polish exports in the period 2006-2019. A measurable result ofthe analysis is a comparison of Polish intra-EU (impact of regionalization) and extra-EU (impact of globalization) exports in the analyzed period. The aim of this overview study is to explain the significance of globalization and regionalization and the essence of these phenomena for the international strategies of selected Polish enterprises.
Towards Automatic Fake News Detection in Digital Platforms: Properties, Limitations, and Applications
Authors: Reis Julio C. S. , Benevenuto Fabrício
Published: June 2021

Digital platforms, including social media systems and messaging applications, have become a place for campaigns of misinformation that affect the credibility of the entire news ecosystem. The emergence of fake news in these environments has quickly evolved into a worldwide phenomenon, where the lack of scalable fact-checking strategies is especially worrisome. In this context, this thesis aim at investigating practical approaches for the automatic detection of fake news disseminated in digital platforms. Particularly, we explore new datasets and features for fake news detection to assess the prediction performance of current supervised machine learning approaches. We also propose an unbiased framework for quantifying the informativeness of features for fake news detection, and present an explanation of factors contributing to model decisions considering data from different scenarios. Finally, we propose and implement a new mechanism that accounts for the potential occurrence of fake news within the data, significantly reducing the number of content pieces journalists and fact-checkers have to go through before finding a fake story.

Authors: Câmara Júnior Eduardo P. M. , Vieira Luiz F. M. , Vieira Marcos A. M.
Published: June 2021

Underwater wireless sensor networks (UWSNs) can enable many applications in underwater environments. They face many challenges due to the characteristics of these environments and their use of acoustic or optical communications. Here we propose solutions for two existing problems in UWSNs. One of them is CAPTAIN, a cluster-based routing solution that explores the best of each communication technology to improve data collection. We also propose UW-SEEDEX, a MAC protocol that employs random time slot schedules to allow nodes to predict each other’s transmission schedules to avoid collisions. Through simulations, we show how both proposed solutions perform better than other solutions from the literature.

Authors: Ota Matheus J. , Miyazawa Flávio K. , Moura Phablo F. S.
Published: June 2021

The balanced connected k-partition (BCPk) problem consists in partitioning a connected graph into connected subgraphs with similar weights. This problem arises in multiple practical applications, such as police patrolling, image processing, data base and operating systems. In this work, we address the BCPk using mathematical programming. We propose a compact formulation based on flows and a formulation based on separators. We introduce classes of valid inequalities and design polynomial-time separation routines. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, we present the first polyhedral study for BCPk in the literature. Finally, we report on computational experiments showing that the proposed algorithms significantly outperform the state of the art for BCPk.
JEDi – Um Jogo Educacional Digital para Apoiar a Capacitação Discente na Identificação de Fake News Escritas em Língua Portuguesa: Estudos de Caso nos Ensinos Médio e Superior

Published: June 2021

Uma das estratégias para combater o crescente problema das fake news é capacitar pessoas para identificar esse tipo de notícia. Embora existam iniciativas em que tal capacitação é apoiada por jogos educacionais digitais (JED), os JED utilizados não dispõem de notícias escritas em Língua Portuguesa. Para suprir esta lacuna, o artigo apresenta o JEDi, um JED voltado à capacitação de estudantes na identificação de notícias falsas, divulgadas de forma intencional e no idioma português. O JEDi se desenrola em um tabuleiro a ser percorrido pelos jogadores na medida em que esses conseguem discernir entre notícias verdadeiras e falsas. Vence a partida, o jogador que alcançar o final do tabuleiro primeiro. A ideia é que, na medida em que joguem diversas partidas, os jogadores desenvolvam a capacidade de reconhecer notícias falsas. Ao persistir os resultados individuais dos jogadores, o JEDi permite analisar, comtécnicas de mineração de dados, o desempenho longitudinal de cada jogador e, portanto, sua efetividade como jogo na capacitação para reconhecer fake news. O artigo relata a aplicação do JEDi em um estudo de caso com alunos do Ensino Médio e outro com alunos da Educação Superior. Resultados quantitativos e qualitativos obtidos nos dois estudos apontam para a efetividade do JEDi como instrumento de capacitação na identificação de fake news.
