Authors: Egon Kaledio , KARL LETHO , EGON AXEL
Published: September 2023

This journal article explores the multifaceted phenomenon of deterioration effects, which encompass a range of processes leading to the degradation, decline, or loss of quality and functionality in various products and systems. Deterioration effects impact industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare, and understanding and managing them are crucial for sustainable operation and maintenance. The article delves into the causes, implications, and strategies for mitigating deterioration effects to enhance product and system reliability and longevity. Deterioration effects are the negative outcomes or consequences of a process, action, or condition that impair or reduce the quality, functioning, or value of something. Deterioration effects can occur in various domains, such as psychology, engineering, economics, ecology, and health.In psychology, deterioration effects refer to the adverse or negative outcomes that may result from participating in psychotherapy. For example, some clients may experience increased distress, anxiety, depression, or suicidal thoughts after engaging in therapy. Some factors that may contribute to deterioration effects include the type and quality of therapy, the therapist-client relationship, the client’s expectations and motivation, and the client’s personal and social circumstances.In engineering, deterioration effects refer to the degradation or damage of materials, structures, or systems due to various factors such as aging, wear and tear, corrosion, fatigue, erosion, or environmental conditions. For example, concrete structures may deteriorate due to cracking, spalling, carbonation, or chloride attack. Some methods to prevent or mitigate deterioration effects include proper design, maintenance, inspection, repair, or replacement.

Simplifying Bayesian analysis of graphical models for the social sciences with easybgm: A user-friendly R-package
Authors: Huth Karoline , Keetelaar Sara , Sekulovski Nikola , van den Bergh Don , Marsman Maarten
Published: September 2023

Network psychometrics is a recent approach to studying psychological constructs as interconnected variables. Rather than treating variables as independent entities, network analysis or graphical modeling views them as nodes in a system that interact with each other; their interactions yield partial associations. Recently, researchers have emphasized the use of Bayesian methods in graphical modeling to accurately quantify uncertainty in the model and its parameters. Several R packages have been developed that implement different Bayesian estimation approaches for graphical modeling in R. However, they all require different inputs and produce different outputs, making them difficult to use for applied researchers. In this paper, we present a user-friendly R package called easybgm that combines the powerful analysis tools into a cohesive package for applied researchers. The package allows researchers to fit any type of cross-sectional data, extract results, and visualize results such as network plots, edge evidence plots, and structure uncertainty plots. We introduce the package and demonstrate its use with an example on women and mathematics.
Using Ethnography to Access, Understand, and Reflect on Video Observation of Violence
Authors: Friis Camilla Bank , van Lith Lenneke , van Bruchem Marly , Lindegaard Marie Rosenkrantz
Published: September 2023

Video observation holds great potential for changing our understanding of crime and violence. Recordings of real-life violence provide a detailed and uninterrupted perspective on patterns of actual behavior. This enables the possibility to analyze systematically and reliably what happens in violent interactions caught on camera. Video observational studies are mainly focused on the findings of what is observed in the videos. Yet, scholars who draw on footage from CCTV and body-worn cameras use ethnographic tools and emotions to gain access, analyze, and contextualize the content of these recordings. These tools and emotions are rarely reflected upon in research papers based on video observation despite their necessity for accessing videos, interpreting them in meaningful ways, evaluating, and ethically communicating the results. In this chapter, we look behind the scenes of doing video observation on violence. Drawing on four projects based on footage from CCTV and body-worn cameras, we show how we accessed, understood, and reflected on video observation of violent interactions using ethnographic tools. Further, we illustrate some of the ethical dilemmas involved in this process. We end the chapter with three lessons for future scholars who want to conduct video observation of real-life conflict interactions with CCTV and body-worn cameras.
Unconditioned Response to a Naturally Aversive Stimulus is Associated with Sensitized Defensive Responding and Self-Reported Fearful Traits in a PTSD Sample
Authors: Lewis Michael William , Bradford Daniel E. , Akman Eylul , Frederiks Kevin , Rauch Scott L. , Rosso Isabelle M.
Published: September 2023

Unconditioned responding (UCR) to a naturally aversive stimulus is associated with defensive responding to a conditioned threat cue (CS+) and a conditioned safety cue (CS-) in trauma-exposed individuals during fear acquisition. However, the relationships of UCR with defensive responding during extinction training, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity, and fearful traits in trauma-exposed individuals are not known. In a sample of 100 trauma-exposed adults with a continuum of PTSD severity, we recorded startle responses and skin conductance responses (SCR) during fear acquisition and extinction training using a 140 psi, 250-ms air blast to the larynx as the unconditioned stimulus. We explored dimensional associations of two different measures of UCR (unconditioned startle and unconditioned SCR) with conditioned defensive responding to CS+ and CS-, conditioned fear (CS+ minus CS-), PTSD symptom severity, and a measure of fearful traits (composite of fear survey schedule, anxiety sensitivity index, and Connor-Davidson resilience scale). Unconditioned startle was positively associated with startle potentiation to the threat cue and the safety cue across both learning phases (CS+ Acquisition, CS- Acquisition, CS+ Extinction Training, CS- Extinction Training) and with fearful traits. Unconditioned SCR was positively associated with SCR to the CS+ and CS- and SCR difference score during Acquisition. Neither type of UCR was associated with PTSD symptom severity. Our findings suggest that UCR, particularly unconditioned startle to a naturally aversive stimulus, may inform research on biomarkers and treatment targets for symptoms of pervasive and persistent fear in trauma-exposed individuals.
Inter-site and intra-site comparison of recycling in Paleolithic surface contexts of Central Kazakhstan
Authors: Coco Emily , Mamirov Talgat B.
Published: September 2023

Archaeological surface deposits, where artifacts are exposed on the ground from the moment of initial discard, would have been ideal sources for scavenging recyclable material in the past. Long-term exposure of artifacts facilitates discovery for scavenging and recycling behaviors. Despite this, few studies explicitly investigate recycling in surface contexts. Here, we present a study of recycled artifacts from the Semizbugu site complex in Central Kazakhstan. The patterns of recycled artifacts at Semizbugu suggest recycling behaviors were frequent, yet spatially distinctive due to the mobile nature of groups who encountered these deposits. We also find that recycling indicators occur most often on heavily weathered artifacts, lending support to the hypothesized relationship between exposure and recycling. Finally, we find evidence for highly redundant use of the Semizbugu landscape, which speaks to the use of surface deposits as raw material sources. The results from Semizbugu are further evidence that recycling was an important part of the technological skill set throughout the Paleolithic and should be considered as such.
A literature Study on Association of Environmental Toxic Compounds with Thyroid Disruption
Authors: Qader Abdul
Published: September 2023

The literature evidences showed a drastic effect of environmental chemicals compounds on the status of thyroid hormones. Most of the environmental chemical compounds mentioned in study show structural resemblance with thyroid hormones. Therefore, these chemicals can mimic the activity of thyroid hormones. Some chemical compounds also exhibit other mechanism; however, the exact mechanism of action is not cleared yet. Most commonly these chemicals include a dose dependent inhibition of thyroid hormones. No doubt these chemical compounds have beneficial roles at industrial scale where these are used in the preparation of various useful things but we cannot ignore their life-threatening consequences.

Published: September 2023

Indonesia sebagai negara yang memiliki peran penting dalam penyediaan bahan baku emas untuk dunia sudah tentu harus fokus dalam mengolah emas. Pengolahan emas sendiri umum dijumpai dengan penambahan endapan emas dengan jenis tembaga porfiri dan sulfida rendah (low sulfidation). Kedua jenis tersebut memiliki karakteristiknya masing-masing dan cara pengolahan tersendiri untuk mendapatkan logam emas murni. Mineral tembaga porfiri yang kaya emas memiliki tantangan berupa keterdapatan logam tembaga yang cukup tinggi, kadar emas yang rendah dalam mineral, dan pengotor sulfida. Sedangkan mineral emas low sulfidation memiliki tantangan berupa emas refraktori yang terinklusi dalam senyawa sulfida, kadar emas yang tinggi dengan toanse yang rendah, serta kandungan pengotor sulfida. Tantangan tersebut akan menentukan jalur ekstraksi emas yang sesuai, seperti yang diaplikasikan pada berbagai industri ekstraksi emas di PT NHM, Ok Tedi Mining Ltd, dan berbagai industri ekstraksi emas di Indonesia.
The Child in the Refrigerator: Narrative Death in 2 Kings 4:8–37
Authors: Case M. L.
Published: September 2023

While many of the children who are the results of miraculous birth narratives in the Hebrew Bible proceed to lead important lives, the son promised to the Shunammite woman by Elisha in 2 Kings 4:8–37 serves no function but to be born, die, and be resurrected. In this article, the author uses the “Woman in the Refrigerator” comic book trope to examine the treatment of this child in the text as mere motivation for the protagonist of the story. The boy in 2 Kings 4:8–37 is an innocent victim who lives only to die at the whim of the biblical authors/editors.

The use of nutritional strategies has become more widespread in recent years. This study investigates the effect of chocolate milk (CM) consumption on the recovery rate of elite male adolescent alpine skiers after intense training. Twelve male elite alpine skiers aged 13-16 years were randomly divided into two groups: chocolate milk (CM; n = 6) and placebo (PLA; n = 6). After exercise, the CM group was given 400 ml (200+200) of chocolate milk, and the PLA group took water (placebo) in the same regimen. Venous blood samples were taken before and 12 hours after drinking the fluids to determine the activity of selected enzymes, insulin, testosterone, glucose, and some minerals. It was observed that in the CM group, serum AST (Pre: 110.33±126.62 U/L vs. Post: 83.17±100.42 U/L) and CK (Pre: 2393.12±2542.22 U/L vs. Post: 1556.33±1401.45 U/L) activity, as well as testosterone (Pre: 21.12±3.59 ng/mL vs. Post: 15.19±4.96 ng/mL; p=0.028) and iron (Pre: 163.00±14.76 µg/dL vs. Post: 109.00±23.91 µg/dL; p=0.028), decreased significantly, but potassium (Pre: 4.38±0.16 mmol/L vs. Post: 4.64±0.09 mmol/L) and magnesium (Pre: 1.82±0.09 mg/dL vs. Post: 2.07±0.04 mg/dL) levels increased after supplementation compared to baseline levels (p
Detection of subsurface basaltic sheets and associated structures utilising forward modelling and inversion of 2D electrical resistivity data: A case study from Jebel-Qatrani, Fayoum, Egypt
Authors: EL HAMEEDY Muhammad A. , MABROUK Walid M. , DAHROUG Said , METWALLY Ahmed M.
Published: September 2023

In the north of Fayoum Governate, Egypt, numerous extrusive flows of basalt rocks exposed on the surface and affected by weathering and erosion, forming altered basalt sheets which is the case of the Jebel-Qatrani. The study objective comes in two main folds: the first, to choose the optimum parameters required for the filed survey by generating forward models using several arrays with 3% Gaussian random noise, simulating the geology of the study area deploying a finite element modelling approach; the second, to acquire the real field data and generate the electrical resistivity tomograms to ascertain the existence, extension, and characteristics of the basaltic sheets in the subsurface. Hence, four electrical resistivity profiles with a Wenner-alpha array with 48 electrodes, 5 metre electrode spacing, and a total length of 235 metres were acquired in suitable locations based on previous aeromagnetic results in the vicinity of the study area. These profiles were inverted to derive the true resistivity distribution of the subsurface. Another objective is to detect the near-surface, Oligocene normal faulting structures associated with rifting of the Red Sea. Results from two inverted resistivity tomograms show a possible normal fault cutting through the early Oligocene Qatrani Formation at the same time as red sea rifting, confirming previous geological studies in the Fayoum region based on satellite imagery, aeromagnetic data, and geological outcrops. It is concluded that near these faults, a sheet-like body of relatively high resistivity values, representing basaltic extrusions, was detected, confirming that the basaltic presence is associated with these structural zones.

OCCUPATIONAL RISK RANKING IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUPERSTRUCTURE OF HIGHRISE BUILDINGS

Abstract

Risk ranking in construction provides stakeholders with insights about risks, leading to a better risk management. The risk ranking is one of the results of a risk assessment process. Currently, there are many methods to assess the risk of accidents in construction safety. In this paper, the risk scoring system and the pairwise comparison were selected as the methods for risk assessment in the construction of superstructure of highrise buildings. The findings include the ranking of most critical risks in highrise building construction in Vietnam: 1) collapse of structures, machines and equipment; 2) falls from height; and 3) electrocution. The results may help stakeholders distribute their resources more effectively in risk strategies before and during the construction of buildings. Furthermore, the risk assessment method used in this paper can be the basis to formulate more precise risk assessment for various building types and different construction phases.

Keywords: Risk assessment; risk ranking; pairwise comparison; construction accidents.

Authors:   NSC “Institute of Agrarian Economics”, SUSLIKOV Andrii
Published: September 2023

The essence of strategizing in the management of market capitalization of corporate agricultural enterprises has been studied. It has been shown that the strategy of managing the market capitalization of a corporate agricultural enterprise is a component of the overall economic strategic policy for sustainable development of the company. It has been determined that the purpose of the strategy is maximizing the market capitalization of the enterprise, and the strategic goal is to ensure a sufficient amount of capital for socio-economic, environmental and production development. The principles of strategy are systematic, transparent, competent, efficient and planned adaptability. The subjects of market capitalization management of corporate agricultural enterprises are top management and financial management of the corporation, underwriters and shareholders. The objects of market capitalization management have been defined as shares and their rates, dividends, investment risks, value of company assets, financial results, capital, corporate image, etc. The separation of financial and non-financial goals in the strategy of market capitalization management have been substantiated, which follows from the establishment of target strategic parameters for maximizing the market value of an enterprise and ensuring its sustainable development. The financial, administrative and legal methods of strategic market capitalization management have been allocated. The main stages of strategizing in the management of market capitalization include analysis of the state of development of a corporate enterprise, definition of mission and vision, setting goals and objectives, development of substrategies for managing the value of the units of an agricultural corporation, implementation of strategy, monitoring and reasonable adjustment of strategic goals and plans. It has been shown that the instruments and levers of strategic management of market capitalization of corporate agricultural enterprises are underwriting, corporate financial management and strategic marketing.
THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL BASES FOR EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES OF THE DIVIDEND POLICY OF CORPORATE AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES
Authors:   NSC “Institute of Agrarian Economics”, SUSLIKOV Andrii
Published: September 2023

It has been shown that the dividend policy of a corporate agricultural enterprise is one of the determining factors in the formation of its investment attractiveness in the stock market and is implemented by the company in accordance with the strategy adopted by the top management. An algorithm for strategizing an effective dividend policy of corporate agricultural enterprises has been developed, which includes: analysis of the business environment and assessment of factors influencing the dividend policy of the enterprise; selection of the type of dividend policy; substantiation of the ratio of net profit distribution between reinvestment and dividend payments and selection of the dividend strategy; establishment of the dividend payout ratio and the amount of dividend per share; analysis and evaluation of the effectiveness of the corporate dividend policy and its adjustment. It is substantiated that evaluation of the efficiency of implementation of the dividend policy strategy of a corporate agricultural enterprise should be carried out from the standpoint of the riskiness of investing in the company’s shares and the stability of dividend payments during the period under study. A methodical approach to assessing the stability of dividend payments based on the theory of probability and the expert method has been developed. The proposed method includes estimates of the regularity of payments and the variability of the amount of dividend payments based on data on the amount of dividend per share. The efficiency of implementation of the dividend policy strategies of the leading corporate agricultural enterprises of Ukraine for 2010-2021 has been analyzed. It has been established that the main problems are irregularity of dividend payments, their high variability, riskiness of securities, as well as complete insecurity of the interests of minority shareholders, which has already formed a long-term negative image of agricultural companies, in particular on international stock exchanges. It has been shown that the institutional basis for an effective dividend strategy of corporate agricultural enterprises should be the development of the national stock market, transformation and adaptation of corporate governance models, as well as regulatory support for dividend policy.

Conclui-se que para o desempenho de suas atividades, o Ministério Público deve-se pautar também nos tratados internacionais, bem como respeitar as decisões e medidas formuladas pelo Sistema Interamericano de Direitos Humanos, do qual o Brasil faz parte, vindo a Recomendação n.96/23 para consolidar e confirmar esse entendimento.
Application of digital image analysis as a method of assessing the of carbonation process of cement binders – impact of distortion on the results of real and model samples
Authors: Szydłowski Jakub
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, because of the use of active additives in cement, studies on carbonation progress are crucial to ensure the safety of structures. Carbonation depth measurement involves the use of a calliper to determine the front of the carbonation. The values determined in this way are averaged, and the corrosion progress is estimated based on these values. Due to the fact that the standard approach assumes the use of a discrete method for determining the carbonation depth, the measurement may be subject to error, and its execution, especially for many samples, is time-consuming. An alternative method for determining the depth of carbonation may be continuous measurement, which determines the actual depth of carbonation since the entire sample area is analysed. Therefore, digital image analysis is the more precise and convenient approach. Unfortunately, it is not an approach, covered by the standards, but may help to assess the correctness of the determination, the carbonation depth. The problem with the use of digital analysis in proposed method may be the quality of the image obtained. The main problem may be the sphericity of the image, related to the nature of the camera, but also the lack of perpendicularity of the optical system of the camera to the sample when fixing its image, related to incorrect positioning by the camera operator. The results show that the digital image analysis is more accurate than the traditional approach, and that the distortion caused by the tilt of the image does not affect the obtained values to a greater degree than the measurement accuracy of the traditional approach.
The tumour microenvironment in BRCA1/BRCA2 hereditary breast cancer and the role of epigenetics in its regulation
Authors: Iqbal Jabed
Published: September 2023

Hereditary genetic conditions such as the autosomal-dominant Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome, in which genes such as _BRCA1_ and _BRCA2_ pathogenic variants (PVs) are inherited, greatly increase the risks of being diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast cancers in _BRCA1/2_ PV carriers tend to be more aggressive and have poorer prognoses in part because these PVs influence the tumour microenvironment and facilitate tumourigenesis through their interactions with stromal cells and immune cells, promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition and angiogenesis, and influencing oestrogen levels. In addition, _BRCA1_ PVs also contribute to breast cancer by exerting epigenetic effects on cells, such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation, thereafter suppressing the expression of proto-oncogenes and promoting cytokine dysregulation. Amongst epigenetic regulators, lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD-1) has been touted to be a master epigenetic regulator of both transcription repression and activation, regulating both _BRCA1_ and, to a lesser extent, _BRCA2_ genes epigenetically. Upregulation of LSD-1 in cancer patients has generally been associated with a poorer prognosis, and LSD-1 contributes to the development of breast cancer in _BRCA1/2_ PV patients through a plethora of mechanisms, including the perpetuation of a hypoxic environment and through direct suppression of _BRCA1_ gene expression. While LSD1 has no direct role in mutations of _BRCA1_ or _BRCA2_ genes, its epigenetic influence shines light on the role of LSD1 inhibitors as a potential mode of therapy in the management of breast cancer, particularly for _BRCA1/2_ PV carriers.
Paulian Approach to Critical Thinking: Assessing an Intervention Program

Published: September 2023

In the 21st century, the market demands individuals who are creative, innovative, technologically advanced, and adaptive to the processes existing in the institutions they function in. Critical Thinking (CT) plays an important role in improving an individual’s higher-order cognitive capacities, logical decision-making, and self-realisation. The present study investigated the effect of systematised CT procedures on the development of CT abilities and the learning ecosystem of student teachers. The participants for the study were the teacher trainees who enrolled in the Bachelor of Education programme offered by one of the private universities in Gujarat, India. To improve the external validity of the procedures and explore the practical consequences of the ‘Critical Thinking Intervention Program’ (CTIP), validated assessment tools like the Analysis of Article Test and Situation-Based Test were used. The data were collected using multiple case studies, focus group discussions, and descriptive feedback. A mixed-methods research design was used for data collection and analysis. The qualitative data was analysed in four phases: de-contextualization, re-contextualization, condensation, theme creation, and compilation.

The study found that the critical thinking intervention programme improved the academic performance of the student teachers. Likewise, it improved reasoning skills, organisation of thoughts, and thought connectivity, supported achieving better work-life balance, developed reflective abilities, developed depth in academic work, and developed metacognitive Skills.
Building Design Parameters for the Safety of Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Bhandari Sharma Nandini , Jha Bandana , Babu Priyanka
Published: September 2023

Building secure environments is becoming a critical measure as global crime rates are constantly on the rise, whether at the level of national policy or inside the safety of our own homes. Conservations and discussions on crime against women, children, and the elderly have been at the forefront for the longest time, while the injustice against individuals with disabilities continues to remain in the shadows.

Individuals with disabilities are severely vulnerable to criminal violence, mistreatment, and victimization. This paper focuses on the crime against individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and its prevention.

Individuals with Autism may feel sensorially overwhelmed in public spaces, leading to a huge risk of them losing their way or other adverse scenarios due to cognitive (and physical) disorientation.

Hence, the built-environment plays an important role in generating a sense of stability as well as security for a comfortable experience for individuals with all kinds of disabilities, be it of visible or invisible kind.

Further, there may be traits associated with Autism that increase or decrease an individual’s tendency to breach the law. They may struggle to regulate their aggressive behaviour, and emotions, and misinterpret other people’s standpoints. They could exhibit problematic behaviours which draw the authorities such as law enforcement into the picture. Nevertheless, individuals with ASD also regard laws and norms to be beneficial in the context of comfortable, non-threatening surroundings.

The aim of this research is to expand the scope of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) in relation to interventions for individuals with intellectual disabilities. The paper seeks to explore this area of research, particularly considering the impact of technology and its association with crime.

The methodology of this research paper aims to study the sense of safety generated by the built-environment within an individual with Autism, and their response. Further, analysis has been included on how a secure environment can be designed keeping security systems in perspective. Case examples from various parts of Australia have been examined in this context, following a detailed analysis of global CPTED strategies. Although there is a growing body of knowledge on this subject, the best design practices as still unclear. The research provides suggestions and recommendations on how the original CPTED guidelines can be viewed through the lens of autism and other intellectual disabilities.

Thus, this research aims to uncover and establish parameters essential to create a safe and secure built-environment for individuals with ASD within the existing CPTED guidelines. The paper emphasizes the significant role of CPTED in designing the built environment to enhance inclusivity at a contextual level.
The Impact of Working Capital and Macroeconomic Variables on the Profitability of Listed Industrial Firms in South Africa

Published: September 2023

This study examines the impact of working capital management policies (WCMP) and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of 83 industrial firms listed on the JSE over the period 2010-2020. The system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach was employed in regression analysis to deal with the existence of endogeneity. Results establish that working capital investment policy (WCIP) is significantly and negatively related to firm profitability. A significant and positive relationship was found between working capital financing policy (WCFP) and firm profitability. Contrary to our expectations, interest rates demonstrated significant and positive relations with return on assets(ROA). Exchange rates and inflation rates proved to impact firm profitability significantly and negatively, which resulted in the study recommending JSE-listed industrial firms to pay special attention to the external environment. Economic growth influenced firm profitability positively and significantly, which aligned with the idea that GDP growth increases the average consumers' income per capita, increasing the goods and services consumed, enhancing profitability.
