Estimation of the case fatality rate based on stratification for the COVID-19 outbreak
Authors: Kim Byungwon , Kim Seonghong , Jang Woncheol , Jung Sungkyu , Lim Johan
Published: February 2021

This work is motivated by the recent worldwide pandemic of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). When an epidemiological disease is prevalent, estimating the case fatality rate, the proportion of deaths out of the total cases, accurately and quickly is important as the case fatality rate is one of the crucial indicators of the risk of a disease. In this work, we propose an alternative estimator of the case fatality rate that provides more accurate estimate during an outbreak by reducing the downward bias (underestimation) of the naive CFR, the proportion of deaths out of confirmed cases at each time point, which is the most commonly used estimator due to the simplicity. The proposed estimator is designed to achieve the availability of real-time update by using the commonly reported quantities, the numbers of confirmed, cured, deceased cases, in the computation. To enhance the accuracy, the proposed estimator adapts a stratification, which allows the estimator to use information from heterogeneous strata separately. By the COVID-19 cases of China, South Korea and the United States, we numerically show the proposed stratification-based estimator plays a role of providing an early warning about the severity of a epidemiological disease that estimates the final case fatality rate accurately and shows faster convergence to the final case fatality rate.
On the Burr XII-moment exponential distribution
Authors: Bhatti Fiaz Ahmad , Hamedani G. G. , Korkmaz Mustafa Ç. , Sheng Wenhui , Ali Azeem
Published: February 2021

In this study, a new flexible lifetime model called Burr XII moment exponential (BXII-ME) distribution is introduced. We derive some of its mathematical properties including the ordinary moments, conditional moments, reliability measures and characterizations. We employ different estimation methods such as the maximum likelihood, maximum product spacings, least squares, weighted least squares, Cramer-von Mises and Anderson-Darling methods for estimating the model parameters. We perform simulation studies on the basis of the graphical results to see the performance of the above estimators of the BXII-ME distribution. We verify the potentiality of the BXII-ME model via monthly actual taxes revenue and fatigue life applications.

Tropical reefs are declining rapidly due to climate changes and local stressors such as water quality deterioration and overfishing. The so-called marginal reefs sustain significant coral cover and growth but are dominated by fewer species adapted to suboptimal conditions to most coral species. However, the dynamics of marginal systems may diverge from that of the archetypical oligotrophic tropical reefs, and it is unclear whether they are more or less susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Here, we present the largest (100 fixed quadrats at five reefs) and longest time series (13 years) of benthic cover data for Southwestern Atlantic turbid zone reefs, covering sites under contrasting anthropogenic and oceanographic forcing. Specifically, we addressed how benthic cover changed among habitats and sites, and possible dominance-shift trends. We found less temporal variation in offshore pinnacles’ tops than on nearshore ones and, conversely, higher temporal fluctuation on offshore pinnacles’ walls than on nearshore ones. In general, the Abrolhos reefs sustained a stable coral cover and we did not record regional-level dominance shifts favoring other organisms. However, coral decline was evidenced in one reef near a dredging disposal site. Relative abundances of longer-lived reef builders showed a high level of synchrony, which indicates that their dynamics fluctuate under similar drivers. Therefore, changes on those drivers could threaten the stability of these reefs. With the intensification of thermal anomalies and land-based stressors, it is unclear whether the Abrolhos reefs will keep providing key ecosystem services. It is paramount to restrain local stressors that contributed to coral reef deterioration in the last decades, once reversal and restoration tend to become increasingly difficult as coral reefs degrade further and climate changes escalate.

Primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancers cause major burdens. In this study, we introduced a measure named the Quality of Care Index (QCI), which indirectly evaluates the quality of care given to patients with this group of cancers. Here we aimed to compare different geographic and socioeconomic patterns of CNS cancer care according to the novel measure introduced. In this regard, we acquired age-standardized primary epidemiologic measures were acquired from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study 1990-2017. The primary measures were combined to make four secondary indices which all of them indirectly show the quality of care given to patients. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was utilized to calculate the essential component named QCI. Further analyses were made based on QCI to assess the quality of care globally, regionally, and nationally (with a scale of 0-100 which higher values represent better quality of care). For 2017, the global calculated QCI was 55.0. QCI showed a desirable condition in higher socio-demographic index (SDI) quintiles. Oppositely, low SDI quintile countries (7.7) had critically worse care quality. Western Pacific Region with the highest (76.9) and African Region with the lowest QCIs (9.9) were the two WHO regions extremes. Singapore was the country with the maximum QCI of 100, followed by Japan (99.9) and South Korea (98.9). In contrast, Swaziland (2.5), Lesotho (3.5), and Vanuatu (3.9) were countries with the worse condition. While the quality of care for most regions was desirable, regions with economic constraints showed to have poor quality of care and require enforcements toward this lethal diagnosis.

Feral Hospitality: Thinking Outside the House With Kedi
Authors: Swain Sara
Published: February 2021

Our current understandings of hospitality are largely informed by the Western European philosophical tradition. This tradition, however, restricts accommodation to the proprietary space of the human house, or to its equivalent, the nation state. Both can only offer a constrained, exclusive, and temporary welcome. This has significantly limited the possibilities for imagining and practicing hospitality. In order to challenge the perceived scarcity at the heart of hospitality’s spatial imaginary, this essay turns to Kedi, Ceyda Torun’s 2016 documentary about Turkish street cats. Using the film as a guide, it explores what hospitality can look like outside the house. By tending to the relationships between cats and the people of Istanbul, the film offers a glimpse of a more capacious, creaturely, and cosmopolitan alternative I call, “feral Hospitality.” This is an itinerant and performative hospitality that produces rather than consumes space.
HOOS: Scenes of Educational Hospitality

Published: February 2021

Through narrative, poetry, photographs, and philosophical reflection, this essay attends to the possibilities and impossibilities of hospitality in encounters between particular Canadian teacher-educators, Somali student-teachers, and those hosting and facilitating their encounters in the Dadaab refugee camps in Kenya. The scenes of educational hospitality trouble the boundaries between host and guest, teacher and student, implacement and displacement.
Vezetőkkel szemben támasztott munkaerő-piaci kompetenciaelvárások a Heti Világgazdaság és a The Economist álláshirdetéseinek elemzése alapján (Job market competency requirements for managers on the basis of the analysis of job advertisements in the Heti Világgazdaság and The Economist)
Authors: Karcsics Éva
Published: February 2021

A szervezet dolgozói között kiemelt fontosságúak a vezetők, hiszen döntéseikkel, működésükkel a szervezet életét közvetlenül, és sokszor hosszú távra befolyásolják. Annak a vállalatnak, mely megtartani, növelni szeretné piaci pozícióját, különös hangsúlyt kell fektetnie vezetőinek kiválasztására, a későbbiekben pedig fejlesztésére. A szerző cikkében azt mutatja be, hogy a közgazdászképzettséggel rendelkező vezetők iránti munkaerő-piaci kereslet (a HVG-hirdetések elemzése alapján) milyen minőségi jellemzőket mutatott 2000–2009 között. A szerző részletesen ismerteti az eredményeket, melyek értelmezéséhez a Spencer és munkatársai által kidolgozott kompetenciamodell saját továbbfejlesztett változatát használja fel. Kitekintés céljával a magyar eredmények mellett bemutatja, hogy egy más gazdasági struktúrával, kultúrával rendelkező országban hogyan alakultak a vezetőkkel szemben támasztott kompetencia-elvárások. Az eredmények – melyeket más hazai felmérések is alátámasztanak – azt tükrözik, hogy a magyar vezetőkkel szemben támasztott munkaerő-piaci kompetencia-elvárások eltérnek a szakmai várakozásoktól és élesen eltérő képet mutatnak a The Economist hirdetéselemzésének eredményétől. _________ The thesis that the most important factor which determines the competitiveness of future companies is the quality of human resources has received increasingly more emphasis in the literature on management. The managers of organizations have a key role since they can directly influence the life of the organization by their decisions and work, often for a long term. Therefore, a company which intends to maintain or improve its market position should place special emphasis on the selection, and later on the development of its managers. In the present paper the author presents the characteristic features of job market demand for managers with qualifications in economics between 2000 and 2009 (on the basis of the analysis of job advertisements published in the economic weekly paper Heti Világgazdaság). The author gives a detailed analysis of the results using the competence model developed by Spencer et al. and further developed by the author. In addition to the Hungarian results, the paper also provides an overview of how managers are selected in a country with a different economic structure and culture. The results – also supported by other surveys conducted in Hungary – demonstrate that the competence expectations of the job market for Hungarian managers fail to meet professional expectations; the picture is sharply different from what the analysis of job advertisements published in The Economist show, and the competence expectation changed very little, though quite strikingly, over the period under discussion.

A cikk célja, hogy elemző bemutatását adja az ellátási láncok működéséhez, különösen a disztribúciós tevékenység kiszervezéséhez kapcsolódó működési kockázatoknak. Az írás első része az irodalomkutatás eredményeit feldolgozva az ellátási láncok kockázati kitettségének növekedése mögött rejlő okokat törekszik feltárni, s röviden bemutatja a vállalati kockázatkezelés lehetséges lépéseit e téren. A cikk második gondolati egysége mélyinterjúk segítségével összefoglalja és rendszerezi a disztribúció kiszervezéséhez kapcsolódó kockázatokat, számba veszi a kapcsolódó kockázatkezelési lehetőségeket, s bemutatja a megkérdezett vállalatok által alkalmazott kockázat-megelőzési alternatívákat. ______ The aim of this paper is to introduce operational risks of supply chains, especially risks deriving from the outsourcing of distribution management. Based on literature review the first part of the paper talks about the potential reasons of increasing global supply chain risks, and the general business activities of risk assessment. Analyzing the results of semi-structured qualitative interviews, the second part summarizes the risks belonging to the outsourcing of distribution and introduces the potential risk assessment and avoidance opportunities and alternatives in practice.
Még egyszer a motivációról, avagy "Hogyan ösztönözzük alkalmazottainkat itt és most?" (Once again on the motivation or "how to motivate our employees here and now?")

Published: February 2021

A szerzők a Budapesti Corvinus Egyetem Vezetéstudományi Intézetében számos vezetőképző program, posztgraduális kurzus és mesterképzés hallgatóinak részvételével végeztek feltáró jellegű kutatásokat a munkahelyi motiváció elméletének és gyakorlatának témájában. A résztvevők saját élményeikből és tapasztalataikból kiindulva sorolták be a megélt eseteket a herzbergi kategóriákba. Ezek alapjában véve megerősítették Herzberg motivátorokról és higiénés tényezőkről alkotott elképzeléseit. Nem egyértelmű ugyanakkor, hogy kikre is érvényesek Herzberg tézisei. Az eddigi mintákba ugyanis általában azok kerültek, akik vagy már vezető pozíciókban voltak, vagy erre készültek, azaz alapvetően a „vezetői motivációkkal” bíró emberek motivációs, illetve higiénés tényezőire kaptak eddig rálátást. De vajon mi a helyzet azokkal, akik a szervezeti hierarchia más szintjein helyezkednek el? Elméleti és gyakorlati szempontból egyaránt releváns kérdés, hogy az eredeti elmélet érvényességét hogyan lehetne kimondottan beosztottakon megvizsgálni, itt és most? A szerzők írásukban ezekre a kérdésekre keresik a választ: az eredeti modellt egy kérdőíves és interjús módszertanra épülő kutatás eredményein értelmezik (illetve értelmezik újra) és igyekeznek pontosítani Herzberg elméletének mai mondanivalóit. / === / The authors have created exploratory researches in the theory and practice of the workplace motivation with the participation of mba, postgraduate and master students in the institute of management of corvinus university of budapest.

In this study the authors search motivations of employees based on Herzberg’s categories. The original model is interpreted the results of a questionnaire and an interview-based methodology, and the authors try to clarify the contemporary meanings of Herzberg’s theory.
Átalakuló emberierőforrás-menedzsment a multinacionális vállalatok magyarországi leányvállalatainál 2008–2009 (Changing HR-practices of the Hungarian subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, 2008-2009)

A Pécsi Tudományegyetem Közgazdaságtudományi Karán sok éve folyó HR-kutatás legújabb eredménye ez a beszámoló, amely 74 Magyarországon is működő multinacionális vállalat helyi leányvállalatának HR-gyakorlatát vizsgálja. Az adatfelvétel (többségében helyszíni interjú) ideje 2010. április-november. Így a megállapítások már a válságból való kilábalás időszakára is vonatkoznak: mit és hogyan tettek a HR-szervezetek, valamint a vonalbeli vezetők a HR-munka hatékonyságának növelésére. A felállított 5, ezzel kapcsolatos hipotézist a szerzők vizsgálataik alapján részben igazolni tudták. A fő megállapítás: a nemzetközi vállalatok – minimális létszámcsökkentéssel – kitartottak Magyarország mellett, megerősítették a helyi leányvállalatoknál folyó HR-munkát. A kutatás nemzetközi keretekben jelenleg is folytatódik: 6 országban készülnek tanulmányok a helyi hasonló vállalati körre, a magyarországiéval azonos HR-vizsgálati szempontok alapján. _________ This article is the result of the several year long HR-research conducted at the Faculty of Business and Management of the University of Pécs, and it analyzes the HR-practices of the Hungarian subsidiaries of 74 multinational enterprises. Data collection (mostly interviews at the subsidiaries) took place during the period of April-November 2010. Hence, the findings also relate to the period of the recovery from the recession: what and how the HR-units/ and line managers did to increase the efficiency of the HR work. The 5 hypotheses in relation with this, could partially be verified by the research of the authors of this paper. The main finding is that the multinational enterprises – with a slight decrease of headcount – stood beside Hungary and strengthened the HR-activities at their subsidiaries. Research is still being continued internationally: studies are being prepared in 6 countries on similar groups of local companies, by using the same HR-research aspects as those used in Hungary.

Published: February 2021

Bangladesh has a primarily agrarian economy. Irrigation plays a very important role in our agriculture as well as on economy. During dry season, irrigation of the whole country faces an acute crisis due to load shedding of 1400 MW [1]. As Bangladesh has good solar resources, with high availability during the peak irrigation season, therefore, solar pumping of water for irrigation is an innovative and environment-friendly solution for its largely agro-based economy. Infrastructure Development Company Ltd (IDCOL) is providing financial support to solar irrigation. Already 450 irrigation pumps have been installed by IDCOL in different divisions of Bangladesh. In this paper, 450 project’s data has been analyzed and the findings are shown by different graphs. Different division’s radiation, water-head and required water are mainly focused in the analysis which will be very useful for upcoming irrigation projects. To accomplish the analysis on solar irrigation, several field visits were done at Poradaho, Kushtia, Bangladesh. This is a project of Bright Green Energy Foundation (BGEF) and financed by IDCOL. Numerous important prospects of solar irrigation besides Diesel-based Irrigation in Bangladesh have come out from this comparative study.
COVID-19 Pandemic at the Intersection of Ebola, Global Leadership, and the Opportunity to Decolonize the Political Economy of Sierra Leone
Authors: N’jai Alhaji U.
Published: February 2021

The COVID-19 global pandemic has so far not resulted in apocalyptic deaths in Sierra Leone or other countries in the subregion, despite an exponential rise in positive cases. Western views of massive COVID-19-related deaths in Africa have largely come from colonialism and the long-held Western narratives of Africa as the continent of poverty, disease, backwardness, weak health-care infrastructure, and dependent bodies in need of foreign aid and “white” saviors. Sierra Leone was among the last of the African countries to record the COVID-19 disease, and along with Liberia and Guinea have a powerful Ebola experience that few countries in the world enjoyed. Yet, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed serious weaknesses in its epidemic preparedness, health-care infrastructure, public health system, and the overall political economy. Why then have Sierra Leone and the Mano River Union (MRU) countries with Ebola experience not displayed global leadership in the face of the global pandemic? This article argues that the ineffective response to the COVID-19 epidemic in Sierra Leone, despite the country’s huge Ebola experience, may be linked to an entanglement among social, economic, and political factors within the political economy and deep, dense structural distal factors of slavery, colonialism, neocolonialism, and economic and cultural dependencies. These distal factors have largely dictated the approach and modelling of COVID-19 in Sierra Leone and other MRU countries.

Published: February 2021

Purpose: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) findings in patients with peliosis hepatis (PH).Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of CEUS features in 24 patients with histopathologically confirmed PH (11 men and 13 women; mean age, 32.4±7.1 years; range, 28 to 41 years). All lesions were histologically proven, either by core needle biopsy (n=10) or by hepatic surgery (n=14).Results: The mean size was 36.8±12.4 mm (range, 10 to 80 mm). On B-mode ultrasonography (BMUS), all PH lesions were heterogeneously hypoechoic, with well-defined margins but irregular shapes. No mass effect was observed. During the arterial phase of CEUS, all lesions displayed mild heterogeneous hyperenhancement (83.3%, 20/24) or isoenhancement (16.7%, 4/24). Furthermore, 87.5% of the PH lesions showed mild washout after 1 minute in the portal venous phase (30-120 seconds) and mild washout in the late phase (>120 seconds).Conclusion: The lack of a mass effect on BMUS, mild heterogeneous arterial hyperenhancement, and washout in the very late portal venous phase (after 1 minute) on CEUS are characteristic of PH. Although it is a histological diagnosis, PH should be considered in the differential diagnosis when the clinical context does not favor a malignancy or infection.

Dados de cobertura da terra podem ser utilizados como indicadores da diferenciação socioeconômica. Embora as piscinas residenciais sejam consideradas como equipamentos de lazer das classes sociais mais elevadas, avalia-se importante quantificar essa associação. O objetivo do artigo é relacionar a presença de piscinas ao nível socioeconômico da população de Marília - SP. A localização das piscinas foi obtida pela classificação de imagem de satélite, através de técnicas de GEOBIA, e sua associação à renda dos chefes de família foi estabelecida pela Regressão Linear Global e Regressão Geograficamente Ponderada. Os resultados confirmaram que as piscinas podem ser consideradas como um indicador da localização de chefes de famílias renda elevada. O modelo foi capaz de prever a localização da população de alta renda (acima de 10 salários mínimos) em 68%. O modelo mostrou melhor ajuste nas residências unifamiliares horizontais (casas), mas fraco desempenho nas localidades centrais da cidade, mais verticalizada e com poucas piscinas por lote.

Matas ciliares são florestas associadas a córregos, rios e lagos possuindo influência na proteção dos ecossistemas de ações antrópicas. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as alterações nas áreas de mata ciliar da Caatinga, a partir da sensibilidade espectral dos índices de vegetação (IVs): GNDVI, NDVI e EVI, considerando uma análise espaço temporal (1985 a 2019) no entorno do Reservatório de Serrinha II – PE - Brasil. Para isso, foram utilizadas imagens dos satélites TM - Landsat 5, OLI - Landsat 8 e MSI - Sentinel 2. Os IVs foram validados comparando perfis espectrais e correlação dos produtos gerados pelo Landsat 8 e Sentinel 2. Através da classificação binária dos índices, foram identificadas as alterações na cobertura vegetal, entre 1996 e 2019, resultando uma perda de 55,40% de vegetação. Estes eventos, associados aos efeitos da seca também foram observados para o reservatório, entre 2012 e 2019, com 32,36% de redução do espelho d’água. Entre os IVs, o GNDVI e NDVI apresentaram maior sensibilidade para identificar a mata ciliar com coeficiente de Pearson igual a 0,93 para o Landsat 8; 0,94 para o Sentinel 2 e acurácia global superior a 95%. Por outro lado, o EVI mostrou-se mais sensível para identificar a área do reservatório, com acurácia global de 99,48%. O monitoramento de reservatórios artificiais e mata ciliares de florestas sazonalmente secas como a Caatinga se beneficiam do uso de IVs onde a escolha de um determinado IV isolado deve ser interpretada com cautela de acordo com as características da região estudada.

Published: February 2021

Las personas con discapacidad intelectual son personas con sus limitaciones, pero dotadas de otras capacidades que sí les posibilitan cierto nivel de autogestión en la vida diaria. Necesitan una suficiente cobertura legal y apoyos proporcionados que faciliten su crecimiento personal y su proceso hacia la plena inclusión. El acompañamiento adecuado a su nivel cognitivo prestado tanto por los profesionales como desde el entorno familiar y social son fundamentales para la realización de su proyecto vital. Felicidad y discapacidad no son incompatibles para la persona que se siente suficientemente valorada y apoyada.
Recomendaciones éticas con relación a la gestión de la dimensión afectivo-sexual en las personas con discapacidad
Authors: Esquerda Aresté Montse
Published: February 2021

El reconocimiento de la persona con discapacidad como sujeto de derechos y el desarrollo de un marco de cuidado integral son grandes hitos que han marcado las últimas décadas. A pesar de estos claros avances, la dimensión afectivo-sexual sigue presentando dificultades, tanto en su reconocimiento como en su abordaje. La reflexión ética y elaboración de unas recomendaciones éticas pretenden ofrecer una orientación general a los profesionales, ayudando a identificar los propios valores, reconocer los valores de las personas atendidas, fomentar el diálogo y debate, así como las posibles situaciones de riesgo o de alerta, promoviendo actitudes basadas en el respeto.
Familias de personas con discapacidad intelectual
Authors: Seda Juan Antonio
Published: February 2021

Los apoyos de las familias a sus integrantes con discapacidad intelectual se expresan de diferentes modos, principalmente en cuidados personales y ayuda en la toma de decisiones a lo largo de la vida. Ante esta necesidad de colaboración, se ha planteado como interrogante en varios instrumentos internacionales si esta confluencia no daría lugar a una sustitución de la voluntad en lugar de constituir un apoyo. Aquí se propone como hipótesis que, en los casos de una deficiencia cognitiva significativa, se produce una inevitable comunión entre voluntades. No se trataría entonces propiamente de una sustitución, sino de un apoyo activo en aspectos vitales trascendentes.

Published: February 2021

La enfermedad terminal implica el aporte de cuidados paliativos que permitan la mejora de la calidad de vida. Entre los cuidados, la alimentación (enteral o parenteral) juega un papel importante que está influenciado por la interrelación entre biopolítica, bioética y biopoder y sus mecanismos para garantizar una adecuada equidad y justicia social.

Other than providing overnight stays and local activities, the provision of food and beverage is an important aspect in the homestay business. The food and beverage aspect of a homestay has the potential of being a crucial contributing factor towards a guest’s experience whilst ensuring optimal monetary return to the homestay operators. This paper presents the findings on meal offerings provided by four homestay operators at Mantanani Island, an island off the Kota Belud coast of Sabah. This study also highlights the importance of food as an element of local culture and as an expression of the history, habits and traditions of a community. Discussions are pinned on rationalising the differences in meal offerings among operators and how this would implicate the operators’ profit margins, as well as how the local culture reflects the menu offered by the homestay participants.  Finally, recommendations for improvement on meal plans are proposed to enhance the economic benefits of these operators without compromising guest experience

Published: February 2021

This study investigates the concept of sharing economy in the strategic development of a local community into a remote tourism destination, using a case study methodology. The overarching aim is to better understand how the application of the notion of sharing economy can help develop a locality as a remote destination.The locality in this study is ‘Pahawang’, South Lampung, Indonesia – a beautiful coral and marine tourism established by the local community. A mix of observationaland semi-structured interviews techniques were used to collect primary data relating to various themes e.g. strategies for using natural resources in Pahawang, traditional properties for enhancing the local economic, and the multiplier effects of tourism to the locals in Pahawang. Based on the empirical findings emanating from the thematic primary data analysis, we conclude by proposing a strategic sharing economy framework for the development of Pahawang as a remote tourism destination - it addresses six critical factors: cooperations among stakeholders; compactness of local women; support for the ‘ibu-ibu’ in public kitchens in providing meals; involvement of tourists in the local societies’ lives as a natural attraction; training local guides to make them more professional; and the strategic role of the Indonesian Government.

Published: February 2021

The transition to circular economy models is a big challenge for enterprises, since it forces them not only to change established supply chains, pay extra attention to the quality and durability of manufactured products, develop schemes for the collection and subsequent disposal of products that have worked out their life, but also actively develop eco-innovation activities and participate in R&D more actively. The aim of this work is to study examples of the implementation of circular business models from the leading EU-based companies. The focus of the research on European companies is due to the fact that the European Union has been implementing a plan for the transition to a circular economy since 2015. In order to track the nature of applied eco-innovation in the field of CE the case-studies from the leading EU-based companies have been analysed. The choice of the companies is determined by their commitment to the CE principles and availability of the obtained results in their annual reports. The case-studies have shown all reviewed companies demonstrated beyond average commitment to the principles of CE in all aspects (sayings, doings and materiality). Their strong adherence is determined by their intense environmental impact and leading positions at regional and global markets.

W poszukiwaniu Globalnego Wschodu: Myślenie między Północą a Południem. Tłum. Anna Piekarska
Authors: Müller Martin , Piekarska Anna
Published: February 2021

Od zakończenia zimnej wojny dzielenie świata na Globalną Północ i Globalne Południe stało się ogólnie przyjętym sposobem myślenia o globalnej różnicy. Ta opozycja binarna wymazuje jednak istnienie tego, co nazywam Globalnym Wschodem – krajów i społeczeństw, które zajmują pozycję pośrednią, pomiędzy Północą a Południem. Niniejszy artykuł problematyzuje geopolitykę wiedzy powstałą wskutek wykluczenia Globalnego Wschodu, nie tylko z Globalnej Północy i Południa, ale z koncepcji globalności w ogóle. Argumentuje, że w celu odzyskania Globalnego Wschodu dla nauki musimy wykorzystać stanowisko strategicznego esencjalizmu. Analizuje w tym kontekście globalne powiązania kryjące się za szklankami z fazowanego szkła z IKEI, by pokazać konieczność pomyślenia Globalnego Wschodu w sercu globalnych stosunków, a nie poza nimi. Myślenie o Globalnym Wschodzie jako przestrzeni liminalnej problematyzuje pojęcia Północy i Południa na rzecz bardziej inkluzywnego, ale również mniej dookreślonego myślenia teoretycznego.
Rumble
Authors: Müller Ingo , Fourny Ghislain , Irimescu Stefan , Cikis Can Berker , Alonso Gustavo
Published: February 2021

This paper introduces Rumble, a query execution engine for large, heterogeneous, and nested collections of JSON objects built on top of Apache Spark. While data sets of this type are more and more wide-spread, most existing tools are built around a tabular data model, creating an impedance mismatch for both the engine and the query interface. In contrast, Rumble uses JSONiq, a standardized language specifically designed for querying JSON documents. The key challenge in the design and implementation of Rumble is mapping the recursive structure of JSON documents and JSONiq queries onto Spark's execution primitives based on tabular data frames. Our solution is to translate a JSONiq expression into a tree of iterators that dynamically switch between local and distributed execution modes depending on the nesting level. By overcoming the impedance mismatch
in the engine
, Rumble frees the user from solving the same problem for every single query, thus increasing their productivity considerably. As we show in extensive experiments, Rumble is able to scale to large and complex data sets in the terabyte range with a similar or better performance than other engines. The results also illustrate that Codd's concept of data independence makes as much sense for heterogeneous, nested data sets as it does on highly structured tables.
