Harvesting effect on prey-predator system with strong Allee effect in prey and herd behaviour in both
Authors: Biswas S. , Pal D. , Mahapatra G.S.
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we introduce a prey-predator system with Allee effect in prey where both the prey and predator species are subject to harvesting and exhibit herd behaviour. The new idea of this paper is to consider the Allee effect, herd behaviour and harversing together. Herd behaviour may be proved as a buffer against environmental obstacles. On the contrary, Allee effect and harvesting together may wash out the population from the system. So, the optimal harvesting policy is significant for the ecosystem concerned with our proposed model. Moreover, taking some hypothetical data, a rigorous numerical illustration and sensitivity analysis of the main parameters are offered here to validate the mathematical findings. To summarise, we can say that our model is an endeavor aiming at the ecological balance in nature.

Hybrid inertial accelerated extragradient algorithms for split pseudomonotone equilibrium problems and fixed point problems of demicontractive mappings
Authors: Hanjing Adisak , Suantai Suthep , Chod Yeol
Published: June 2023

In this paper, we present a new hybrid extragradient algorithm for finding a common element of the fixed point problem for a demicontractive mapping and the split equilibrium problem for a pseudomonotone and Lipschitz-type continuous bifunction. By using a new technique of choosing the step size of the proposed method, our algorithms do not need any prior information of the operator norm. In fact, we propose an inertial type algorithm in order to accelerate its convergence rate and then prove strong convergence theorem of our proposed method under some control conditions. Moreover, we give some numerical experiments to support our main results.

Besides the secretion of fatty acids, lipolytic stimulation of adipocytes results in the secretion of triglyceride-rich extracellular vesicles and some free proteins (e.g., fatty acid binding protein 4) that, in sum, affect adipose homeostasis as well as the development of metabolic disease. At the mechanistic level, lipolytic signals activate p53 in an adipose triglyceride lipase–dependent manner, and pharmacologic inhibition of p53 attenuates adipocyte-derived extracellular vesicle (AdEV) protein and FABP4 secretion. Mass spectrometry analyses of the lipolytic secretome identified proteins involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism, translation, chaperone activities, and redox control. Consistent with a role for p53 in adipocyte protein secretion, activation of p53 by the MDM2 antagonist nutlin potentiated AdEV particles and non-AdEV protein secretion from cultured 3T3-L1 or OP9 adipocytes while the levels of FABP4 and AdEV proteins were significantly reduced in serum from p53−/− mice compared with wild-type controls. The genotoxin doxorubicin increased AdEV protein and FABP4 secretion in a p53-dependent manner and DNA repair–depleted ERCC1−/Δ–haploinsufficient mice expressed elevated p53 in adipose depots, along with significantly increased serum FABP4. In sum, these data suggest that lipolytic signals, and cellular stressors such as DNA damage, facilitate AdEV protein and FABP4 secretion by adipocytes in a p53-dependent manner.

Perceived stigmatization places a large psychosocial burden on patients with some skin conditions. Little is known about the experience of stigmatization across a wide range of skin diseases. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to quantify perceived stigmatization and identify its predictors among patients with a broad spectrum of skin diseases across 17 European countries. Self-report questionnaires assessing perceived stigmatization and its potential predictors were completed by 5,487 dermatology outpatients and 2,808 skin-healthy controls. Dermatological diagnosis, severity, and comorbidity were clinician-assessed. Patients experienced higher levels of perceived stigmatization than controls (p < 0.001, d   = 0.26); patients with psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, and bullous disorders were particularly affected. Multivariate regression analyses showed that perceived stigmatization was related to sociodemographic (lower age, male sex, being single), general health-related (higher body mass index, lower overall health), disease-related (higher clinician-assessed disease severity, presence of itch, longer disease duration), and psychological (greater distress, presence of suicidal ideation, greater body dysmorphic concerns, lower appearance satisfaction) variables. To conclude, perceived stigmatization is common in patients with skin diseases. Factors have been identified that will help clinicians and policymakers to target vulnerable patient groups, offer adequate patient management, and to ultimately develop evidence-based interventions.

Chinese Canadian Librarians
Authors: Li Yanli
Published: June 2023

Based on the data from the Visible Minority Librarians of Canada Network (ViMLoC) 2021 Survey, this research examined the leadership roles held by Chinese Canadian librarians and their perceptions of inclusivity of work climate, job satisfaction, and race as a career barrier. Their encounters with racial microaggressions and mentorship experience were also explored. Of the 38 respondents, 79% (n=30) were in non-management positions. 82% (n=31) felt very satisfied or satisfied with their jobs; however, their work climate was not found to be inclusive to all respondents. 87% (n=33) indicated that race was a barrier to their career. Fisher’s exact tests were run to compare the management group and non-management group. The results showed that those in management positions were less satisfied with their jobs and less likely to feel free to express their views openly. They experienced various forms of racial microaggressions. Nearly half of the respondents sought mentoring support and two-thirds of them found mentorship extremely helpful or very helpful. To increase representation in librarianship, library school students and first-generation immigrants of Chinese descent need to be inspired to enter librarianship and reach higher professional goals. Chinese librarians would benefit from leadership programs tailored to minority librarians in Canada.

Authors: Yang Le
Published: June 2023

Leadership is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been studied by scholars for decades. There is no one definition of leadership that is universally accepted, and the concept is often interpreted differently in different contexts and sectors. As a result, leaders can face challenges in leading effectively and ethically in their roles. This article aims to critically examine the concept of leadership from an academic lens. It will review relevant literature and research on leadership, and discuss the different ways in which leadership can be understood and practiced. The article will also explore the challenges and dilemmas that leaders face, and offer some suggestions for how these challenges can be overcome. The article concludes by asserting that leadership is a critical component of any successful organization, and that it is essential for leaders to be cognizant of the challenges they may encounter and the responsibilities they must fulfill.

Authors: Fahrudin Fahrudin , Islamy Mohammad Rindu Fajar
Published: June 2023

This study aims to track the phenomenon of da'i (Muslim Preachers) idols among the millennial generation and its impact on the dynamics of accepting contemporary fatwas and the constellation of leader elections in Indonesia. The da'wah transformation from traditional methods to digital media is increasingly adding to the dynamics of changing the youth's perspective in responding to life's problems, such as religious fatwas and political constellations. This study uses mixed methods research. The data collection technique used google Forms by taking 95 respondents, and semi-structured interviews with five informants using random sampling with the criteria enjoy listening to digital da'wah. Data analysis applies the theory of Miles and Huberman with the following steps: data collection, data display, data reduction, and conclusion. The research results show several essential points, including; 1) There is an urgency in the need for da'wah studies in filling the pressure of problems faced by the millennial generation, 2) Communication style and material substance are more important than the intellectuality of a preacher, 3) In the context of certain fatwas, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) is preferred to be used as a reference from their da'i idol, 4) In the context of choosing a leader, they prefer individual ijtihad to a public figure or institutional ijtihad, 5) Digital da'wah contributes significantly to character strengthening, 6) Da'wah themes vary according to the needs of listeners, and 7) characteristics of da'i idol including polite, wise, humble, broad-minded, moderate, good communication, akhlakul karimah
Islamic Televangelism: Controversy and Da'wah Contest in Television Media
Authors: Antin Titi , Mupida Siti
Published: June 2023

Digital technology has had a significant impact on several aspects of human life, especially on religious aspects. The birth of this religious fragmentation encouraged the presence of new religious, contemporary preachers and new audiences who contribute to revitalizing the debate over religious symbols. This article proposes thinking around the aspects that led to the development of the debate and contestation surrounding da'wah within the context of Islamic televangelism. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method utilizing field observations and direct interviews with one of the Ustaz on television. The results of this study indicate that da'wah programs that are broadcast through television media give birth to a religious authority that is built between preaching actors thanks to the Islamic televangelism media. The contestation regarding religious authority, which was obtained thanks to its popularity in the television media, gave birth to the figure of a religious entrepreneur. Islamic televangelism has also sparked various controversies through preaching on television media, such as reprimands from KPI and even among fellow scholars.
Financial Stability Analysis of Islamic Banks in Bangladesh
Authors: Anjom Washeka , Faruq Abu Taher Mohammad Omor
Published: June 2023

The paper intends to examine the key factors of financial stability of listed Shariah-based Islamic Banks of Bangladesh for a period of 2009 to 2019. Z-score is used here as a proxy for financial stability measurement, with independent variables including bank-specific, bank industry-specific, and macroeconomic factors. Bank specific determinants are nonperforming investment, bank size, capital adequacy, return on equity, earnings, liquidity and management efficiency. Development in the banking sector is a factor that is unique to the banking industry, while GDP and inflation are macroeconomic factors. To learn more about the factors that affect the financial health of Bangladesh's listed Shariah-based Islamic banks, pooled ordinary linear regression (OLS) analysis was used. The results demonstrate that capital adequacy, earning and banking sector development have a positive and statistically significant impact on financial stability of Islamic banks. On the other hand, nonperforming investment has a negative and statistically significant effect on the financial stability of Islamic banks. correlation matrix shows that non-performing investment and management efficiency is negatively correlated with financial stability. In contrast, return on equity and liquidity are positively correlated with financial health. The findings would add value in the decision makers of the bank supervisors to formulate strategies to maintain the financial stability. It would be one of the few papers on financial stability of Islamic banks in Bangladesh which has investigated macroeconomics as well as bank specific determinants altogether on the financial stability.
Sustainable Development and Environmental Conservation in the Outermost European Regions
Authors: Gil Artur
Published: June 2023

The Outermost European Regions (OERs) are geographic areas which are part of a European Union Member State, but situated outside continental Europe. All OERs except French Guiana are islands or archipelagos. They face several challenges to full development – remoteness, insularity, terrain and climate constraints, economic dependence and a narrow range of exportable commodities or services. Nevertheless, the European Commission advocates for these regions the assumption of a new paradigm: turning their natural and socioeconomic handicaps into assets. This strategy makes the sustainable development and environmental conservation strategies and policies of OERs especially challenging in scientific, technical and political terms. This Island Studies Journal special section on Sustainable Development and Environmental Conservation in the Outermost European Regions includes five articles that describe, analyse and address directly social-ecological systems’ issues in insular Portuguese and Spanish OERs (Azores and Canaries, respectively). These studies propose novel concepts, strategies and models aiming towards designing and implementing better and more cost-effective sustainability and environmental conservation policies in these remote European regions.
A Different View From the Sea: Placenaming on Cape Breton Island
Authors: Davey William
Published: June 2023

George Story’s paper A view from the sea: Newfoundland place-naming suggests that there are other, complementary methods of collection and analysis than those used by his colleague E. R. Seary. Story examines the wealth of material found in travel accounts and the knowledge of fishers. This paper takes a different view from the sea as it considers the development of Cape Breton placenames using cartographic evidence from several influential historic maps from 1632 to 1878. The paper’s focus is on the shift names that were first given to water and coastal features and later shifted to designate settlements. As the seasonal fishing stations became permanent settlements, these new communities retained the names originally given to water and coastal features, so, for example, Glace Bay names a town and bay. By the 1870s, shift names account for a little more than 80% of the community names recorded on the Cape Breton county maps in the Atlas of the Maritime Provinces. Other patterns of naming also reflect a view from the sea. Landmarks and boundary markers appear on early maps and are consistently repeated, and perimeter naming occurs along the seacoasts, lakes, and rivers. This view from the sea is a distinctive quality of the island’s names.

Hegemonising Post-Humanism and the Future of Education
Authors: Abdelgawad Dr. Naeema
Published: June 2023

The distinguished feature of the third millennium is augmenting and endorsing the use of digitalised tools until they have controlled our everyday style-of-living and, in some way or another, turned it into a digital one. Literally, smart gadgets have bugged humanity; they have become indispensable. Furthermore, it is commonly believed that life is impossible without them. Smart phones that have facilitated human access into the cyberspace have also paved the way to willing absorption into virtual realms to the extent that they have become the gateway to effective interaction with life and with peer human beings. By all means, technology is similar to an over-sweeping tide; technological advancements are numberless and immensely growing to the extent that it looks as if there would be a special technological innovation for each living soul.

If few years ago educators were discussing the problems of integrating technology into classrooms and the issues of training educators to adapt to the new trends, the current problem would be how to make benefit of the available AI technologies instead of denouncing them as means of ruining the education process. The greatest challenge that educators will shortly encounter is ChatGPT and Google Bard because they would ruin the zeal for proper understanding and any exerted effort for researching. As for the Cyberlife Androids, they are the principal future competitors for educators. Remarkably, if it is alleged that the task of the Cyberlife Androids with students will never be easy, it should be considered that they are designed to win. Yet, the greatest obstacle is Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain microchip and the Chinese Brain Talker implants. Brain microchip technology is expected to be an ipso facto by the few upcoming years; it would be as vital as smart phones.

Education in a post-human era is a challenging mission. Accordingly, the task of educators will never be easy. They should be well-prepared for their mission or they would be replaced by digital versions sooner than expected. Thus, the article sheds light upon the post-human era with its technological advancements that have a profound impact upon humanity. It also attempts to propose a preemptive approach to deal with these inevitable technological leaps that might convert humans into cyborgs lacking proper cognitive knowledge, knowing that technological advancements are turning into an insurmountable dilemma that require special measures. The article also endeavours to envisage a friendly techno-human relationship that would better control the fall into a post-human space.
Temporal association between the age-specific incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome and SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in Republic of Korea: a nationwide time-series correlation study
Authors: Lee Hyunju , Kwon Donghyok , Park Seoncheol , Park Seung Ri , Chung Darda , Ha Jongmok
Published: June 2023

Objectives: The incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) changed significantly during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Emerging reports suggest that viral vector-based vaccines may be associated with an elevated risk of GBS.Methods: In this nationwide time-series correlation study, we examined the age-specific incidence of GBS from January 2011 to August 2022, as well as data on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccinations and infections from February 2021 to August 2022. We compared the forecasted estimates of age-specific GBS incidence, using the pre-SARS-CoV-2 period as a benchmark, with the actual incidence observed during the post-vaccination period of the pandemic. Furthermore, we assessed the temporal association between GBS, SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations, and COVID-19 for different age groups.Results: In the age group of 60 and older, the rate ratio was significantly elevated during June-August and November 2021. A significant, strong positive association was observed between viral vector-based vaccines and GBS incidence trends in this age group (r=0.52, p=0.022). For the 30 to 59 years age group, the rate ratio was notably high in September 2021. A statistically significant, strong positive association was found between mRNA-based vaccines and GBS incidence in this age group (r=0.61, p=0.006).Conclusion: Viral vector-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were found to be temporally associated with an increased risk of GBS, particularly in older adults. To minimize age-specific and biological mechanism-specific adverse events, future vaccination campaigns should adopt a more personalized approach, such as recommending homologous mRNA-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccines for older adults to reduce the heightened risk of GBS.

Objectives: The Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency promotes vaccination by regularly providing information on its benefits for reducing the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This study aimed to analyze the number of averted severe COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-related deaths by age group and quantify the impact of Republic of Korea’s nationwide vaccination campaign.Methods: We analyzed an integrated database from the beginning of the vaccination campaign on February 26, 2021 to October 15, 2022. We estimated the cumulative number of severe cases and COVID-19-related deaths over time by comparing observed and estimated cases among unvaccinated and vaccinated groups using statistical modeling. We compared daily age-adjusted rates of severe cases and deaths in the unvaccinated group to those in the vaccinated group and calculated the susceptible population and proportion of vaccinated people by age.Results: There were 23,793 severe cases and 25,441 deaths related to COVID-19. We estimated that 119,579 (95% confidence interval [CI], 118,901–120,257) severe COVID-19 cases and 137,636 (95% CI, 136,909–138,363) COVID-19-related deaths would have occurred if vaccination had not been performed. Therefore, 95,786 (95% CI, 94,659–96,913) severe cases and 112,195 (95% CI, 110,870–113,520) deaths were prevented as a result of the vaccination campaign.Conclusion: We found that, if the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign had not been implemented, the number of severe cases and deaths would have been at least 4 times higher. These findings suggest that Republic of Korea’s nationwide vaccination campaign reduced the number of severe cases and COVID-19 deaths.
Simulation of a Pumped Stormwater System and Evaluation of the Solar Potential for Pumping
Authors: Coban Hasan Huseyin
Published: June 2023

Renewable energy investments are increasing in countries that want to reduce their dependence on foreign energy and prevent damage to nature. As the request for green vitality generation is emerging, specialists over the globe have been attempting to generate power with better approaches. Rainwater harvesting can also be a non-conventional energy source, just like wind and solar energy. Generating energy, even on a small scale, can reduce environmentally harmful and costly methods of energy production. Various endeavours have been made so far to generate electricity using rain, one of the world's most abundant resources; however, this may be one of the most compelling studies. The goal of this study is to provide electricity from rainwater in areas with a lot of rainfall but minimal electricity. In terms of power generated, raindrops will never be able to compete with a hydroelectric power station. However, they have one significant advantage – they are free. With the increasing energy prices and developing new technology, the commercial use of rain energy does not seem far away. Energy generated from solar cells and a pump power-stormwater system reduced variable electricity costs by $ 572. In the energy storage dimension represented by a pumped stormwater reservoir in the study, the economic benefit potential is very low. Minimizing operating costs, maximizing storage capacity and efficiencies, as well as filling and unloading times of approximately one hour are recommended.

This research includes conceptual research with a philosophical-normative approach. While the nature of this research approach is descriptive-analytic and prescriptive. The results of this study indicate that there are four methods of interpreting the verses of the Koran, namely the tahlîli method, the maudhû'i method, the ijâmlî method, and the muqâran method. In the development of interpretation, there are new methods of interpretation in the treasury of the science of exegesis as initiated by contemporary interpreters, namely the semi-maudhîli tahlîli interpretation method, the semi-tahlîli maudhû'i interpretation method, and the semi-tahlili ijâmlî interpretation method.

Quando pacientes em estado terminal ou em situações irreversíveis buscam a eutanásia, eis que surgem variadas discussões a respeito do tema, abrindo um rol de questionamentos quando do uso dessa prática na medicina. Assim considerando, a pergunta problema evidenciada no estudo se apresenta na seguinte questão: “Como os casos de eutanásia no Brasil se dão frente à colisão entre os princípios do direito à vida, da dignidade humana e da autonomia da vontade, consagrados e universalizados pelos direitos humanos e reconhecidos pelo ordenamento jurídico brasileiro”? Nesse sentido, o objetivo geral do estudo foi demonstrar as características retratadas no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro em relação à eutanásia. Já em relação à metodologia utilizada no estudo o mesmo foi caracterizado pela pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa descritiva e pesquisa exploratória. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que as discussões a respeito do estudo em tela retratam que a eutanásia no Brasil é caracterizada como crime, porém, a discussão vai além de aspectos jurídicos, dentre os quais estão os fatores culturais e religiosos. Existe ainda, um debate no que diz respeito a situações de vida irreversíveis, onde a antecipação da morte por meio da eutanásia acaba despertando conflitos e posicionamentos contrários, em relação à dignidade da pessoa humana e a autonomia individual. Por fim, a discussão será apresentada de maneira, que se possa compreender todos os meandros de tão polêmica temática, que é a eutanásia no Brasil.

ЦИФРОВАЯ ЙЕНА: ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ ВНЕДРЕНИЯ
Authors: Горчакова Мария Евгеньевна
Published: June 2023

За последнее десятилетие в финансовой сфере произошло резкое усиление роли цифровой валюты, которая стала выполнять не только функцию меры стоимости товаров и услуг, но и функции инвестирования, хранения и накопления. Цифровая валюта является важной частью цифровизации экономики. Цифровые валюты открывают новые возможности, в частности, позволяют ускорить перевод денег и активов.
Наиболее надежными являются цифровые валюты центральных банков, потому что они поддерживаются государством и встроены в денежно-кредитную политику.
В настоящее время более 100 стран изучают возможность введения цифровых валют для своих центральных банков (Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC). Пандемия коронавируса лишь ускорила разработки в этом направлении.
Статья посвящена перспективам внедрения цифровой валюты Банка Японии – цифровой йены. Актуальность исследования обусловлена тем, что в условиях финансовой глобализации необходимо учитывать зарубежный опыт внедрения цифровых валют центральными банками.
Дано определение цифровой валюты центрального банка. В статье отражены текущие тенденции в сфере розничных платежей и безналичного оборота в Японии. Исследование показало, что темпы перехода от наличных платежей к безналичным расчетам в Японии являются умеренными. Причины умеренного перехода на безналичный расчет кроются как в спросе, так и в предложении наличных платежей.
Сделан вывод о том, что одним из преимуществ реализации проекта цифровой валюты центрального банка является устранение концентрации безналичных платежных инструментов и унификация всех платежных инструментов.
Особое внимание уделяется возможностям введения цифровой йены Банком Японии, который в апреле 2021 г. начал первую фазу тестирования собственной цифровой валюты. В рамках этой фазы Банк Японии протестирует основные функции CBDC в качестве платежного инструмента.
Всего запланировано три стадии тестирования национальной цифровой валюты. Вторая фаза направлена на более подробное изучение CBDC, а во время третьей фазы к цифровой валюте получат доступ частные предприятия и обычные пользователи.
Делается вывод, что целью выпуска цифровой йены будет улучшение системы транзакций и сосуществование с наличными деньгами и другими формами электронных платежей. При этом использование криптовалюты позволило бы дать мощный импульс развитию всех сфер национальной экономики.
ГОСУДАРСТВО КАК ПОВСЕДНЕВНОЕ ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЕ: «НЕЛЕГАЛЬНОСТЬ» МИГРАЦИЙ И МИГРАЦИОННАЯ ПОЛИТИКА РОССИИ
Authors: Журавская Татьяна Николаевна , Рыжова Наталья Петровна
Published: June 2023

Статья посвящена исследованию миграционного поведения и миграционной политики в России на микроуровне. Авторы следуют антропологической традиции концептуальной демистификации государства как единого актора, имеющего монопольные права на социальную политику. Утверждается, что наряду с государственными служащими миграционная политика реализуется представителями «диаспор», работниками компаний, нанимающих иностранных рабочих, разными посредниками между «законом» и «обычным человеком». Авторы утверждают, несмотря на противоречивость и непоследовательность современной российской миграционной политики, дискриминационные практики «успешно» реализуются и «усваиваются» как теми, кто ее реализует, так и теми, кто управляем. Более того, не только представители власти производят дисциплинарное воздействие, производя «хорошего» мигранта. В этом напрямую принимает участие и бизнес, хотя основания дисциплинарных практик находятся в иной, рыночной плоскости. Посредники и представители диаспор также встраиваются в механизм, формирующий образ «хорошей» нации. И, наконец, сами мигранты не просто принимают правила игры, но и усваивают идею как о «хорошем» работнике, так и «хорошем» представителе «нации». Авторы используют фукондианский дискурс-анализ для исследования языковых практик, эмпирическую базу составляют экспертные и биографические интервью (2014–2016 гг., Амурская область и Красноярский край). Основной текст статьи состоит из описания методов и данных, концептуальной рамки исследования и трех разделов с последовательным представлением результатов.

Прагматическая адаптация аудиовизуального текста как результат межкультурного взаимодействия (на примере американского ситкома "Young Sheldon" и его перевода на русский язык)
Authors: БОНДАРЕВА Екатерина Викторовна , ПОЖИЛОВА Диана Денисовна
Published: June 2023

Настоящая статья посвящена стратегиям прагматической адаптации, использующимся при переводе американского ситкома "Young Sheldon" на русский язык, и выявлению причин их применения при передаче элементов иностранной культуры в языке перевода. Ситуационные комедии часто опираются в своём сюжете и диалогах на культурный опыт аудитории, и перед переводчиками стоит задача адекватной подачи информации, основанной на этом опыте, и сохранения прагматического эффекта, в данном случае юмора. В работе рассмотрены три стратегии прагматической адаптации и их влияние на передачу национальной специфики.
