Published: July 2022

Background
We sought to determine the immunologic abnormalities in patients following SARS-CoV-2 vaccines who experience post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC)-like symptoms > 4 weeks post vaccination. In addition, we investigated whether the potential etiology was similar to PASC.
Design:
We enrolled 50 post-vaccination individuals who experience PASC-like symptoms, 10 healthy individuals, and 35 individuals post-vaccination without symptoms. We performed multiplex cytokine/chemokine profiling with machine learning as well as SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein detection on monocyte subsets using flow cytometry and mass spectrometry.
Results
We determined that post-vaccination individuals with PASC-like symptoms had similar symptoms to PASC patients. When analyzing their immune profile, post-vaccination individuals had statistically significant elevations of sCD40L, CCL5, IL-6, and IL-8. SARS-CoV-2 S1 and S2 protein were detected in CD16 + monocytes using flow cytometry and mass spectrometry on sorted cells.
Conclusions
Post-vaccination individuals with PASC-like symptoms exhibit markers of platelet activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production which may be driven by the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein persistence in intermediate and non-classical monocytes.
A nomogram for predicting postoperative overall survival of patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma: a SEER-based study
Authors: Rao Jin , Yu Yue , Zhang Li , Wang Pei , Wang Xuefu , Wang Zhinong
Published: July 2022

Background
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the most common histological subtype of all lung cancer. Although the overall prognosis of lung cancer has improved, the predictable nomogram model of LSCC has not improved significantly. Our study aimed to construct and validate a nomogram model and to predict overall survival (OS) for patients with LSCC undergoing surgical treatment.
Methods
A total of 8,078 patients identified to have LSCC between 2010 and 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. They were further randomly divided into training and validation cohorts. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to identify the risk factors affecting the prognosis for constructing the nomogram. The discrimination and calibration of the established nomogram were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, area under ROC curve (AUC), and calibration plots. In addition, decision curve analysis (DCA) was performed to evaluate the clinical utility. Finally, we plotted Kaplan-Meier survival curves and developed risk stratification systems.
Results
Seven variables were selected to establish the nomogram for LSCC. The AUC value in the ROC curve analysis revealed 0.658, 0.651, and 0.647 in the training cohort and 0.673, 0.667, and 0.658 in the validation cohort at 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival, respectively. The calibration curves showed satisfactory consistencies between nomogram-predicted and observed survival probability at 1-, 2-, and 3- year OS in training and validation cohorts. The DCA curve showed the established nomogram had great clinical net benefit, indicating high clinical application value. In risk stratification systems, patients were divided into three risk groups: low risk (total points༜95), middle risk (95 ≤ total points༜143), high risk (total points ≥ 143). The Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated that significant difference in OS were observed among the three groups (P༜0.001).
Conclusions
A prognostic nomogram for OS of LSCC patients after surgical treatment was developed and validated, which may assist clinicians in evaluating prognosis of and facilitate doctors to provide highly individualized therapy.

Published: July 2022

Background: The utilization of reproductive health service plays significant role in preventing youths from different reproductive related health problems. Adolescents in Ethiopia have inadequate access to information and services.Objective: To assess utilization of family planning and volunteer counseling and testing service and associated factors among preparatory school students in Arba Minch Town. Method: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted among randomly selected 522 regular preparatory students in Arba Minch Town from December 01-30/2019. Data was entered and clean into Epidata-4.6 templates then transferred to SPSS-25 statistical software for analysis. A bi-variable and multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify statistically significant variables of the independent variable. Variables with P-value < 0.05 in the final model were considered significant determinant variables. Result: Out of those who had sexual intercourse 78.6% and 29.3% of them used family planning and voluntary counseling and testing service, respectively. Sexual intercourse experienced adolescents were 8.24 times more likely utilized F/P service than their counterparts (AOR=8.236, 95% CI: 6.18-15.76). The study participants living with both parents were about 1.6 times (AOR=1.645, CI: 1.077-2.513 more likely to use voluntary counseling and testing service compared to those who living with others. Conclusions and Recommendations: Based on this finding majority (more than three fourth) of adolescents used family planning, but voluntary counseling and testing service utilization were low. The reasons for not utilizing family planning and voluntary counseling and testing service were felt ashamed from friends and unfriendly approach of health workers during service provision. So, we can recommend that encourage adolescents open discussion about reproductive health service utilization with different peoples, open discussion within couples and encourage to increase female education are important steps to improve adolescent’s reproductive service utilization.

Published: July 2022

The present study aims at investigating the impacts of the extract of Trachyspermum leaves on the mild steel corrosion in 0.1M hydrochloric acid (HCl), while highlighting its inhibitory mechanisms. The effects of mild steel corrosion in solutions of HCl were examined using the gravimetric and galvanostatic polarization techniques, along with EIS analyses. According to the EIS data, the highest coating undamaged index (83 %) after 100 h of immersion. According to the results, the maximum inhibitory effectiveness corresponding to the minimum corrosion rate could be observed at the highest desirable level of inhibitor concentration equal to 100 ppm, while the corrosion rate decreases with an increase in the extract concentration. The absorption examinations indicated the best description of the metal surface interaction by Langmuir isotherm with -31.85Kjmol-1, while obtaining the best exposure time for the Trachyspermum leaves extract adsorption into the surface of the metal in different concentrations. SEM, AFM, IR, and XRD showed the good coverage of Trachyspermum on the surface of mild steel. Based on the results of polarization, the inhibitors can play the role of a mixed inhibitor, also confirmed by the computational data.

В работе проведены экспериментальные тепловизионные исследования на промышленном предприятии температурных режимов работы крупногабаритных конвективных сушилок непрерывного действия. Выполнены с использованием тепловизионного оборудования фотографические съемки и сканирование распределения температурного поля в штабеле пиломатериала в период выгрузки из камеры сушильной установки. По результатам анализа полученных данных отмечается повышенный фон температур в нижней части штабеля, что, очевидно, связанно с более значительным энергоподводом в этой части штабеля пиломатериала. Полученные экспериментальные данные свидетельствует о неравномерном поле скоростей энергоносителя, а значит и температур в блоке распределения физических величин для термообработки материала по высоте сушильной камеры.

In the work, experimental thermal imaging studies were carried out at an industrial enterprise of the temperature regimes of operation of large-sized continuous convective dryers. Photographic surveys and scanning of the distribution of the temperature field in a pile of lumber during the period of unloading from the chamber of the drying plant were carried out using thermal imaging equipment. According to the results of the analysis of the data obtained, an increased temperature background is noted in the lower part of the stack, which is obviously associated with a more significant energy supply in this part of the lumber stack. The experimental data obtained indicate an uneven field of energy carrier velocities, and hence temperatures in the block of distribution of physical quantities for heat treatment of the material along the height of the drying chamber.

BEHAVIORAL THEORY AND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM
Authors: Burdenko I. , Korol A.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the essence of behavioral theory and its relationship with accounting as a system. Behavioral theory studies and explains human behavior through incentives and punishments and today this theory is interdisciplinary, because it allows you to predict human behavior during management decisions in the process of economic activity. Behavioral science is a component of economic psychology, which analyzes and studies the behavior of people using a systematic approach, that is, the object is considered as a system in whole. The role of behavioral science is unquestionably important in economic relations, because the use of its main features will allow you to gain advantages among competitors in the common business space, improve production due to more efficient labor of workers, and even before understand this or that decision of both opponents and partners. Behavioral theory is based on the appropriate link between the information needed to make decisions and the response of different individuals or even groups of individuals to it to meet their own needs or solve certain problems. The work summarizes the main features of behavioral theory and identifies it as the main targets that are directly related to the profession of "an accountant." According to behavioral theory, the behavior of an employee, in our case an accountant, can be conditionally divided into respondent and operant. A study of the main characteristics of behavioral science led to the need to identify its relationship with the accounting system. Behavioral theory interacts and affects precisely the technical and organizational subsystems of accounting, which directly affects the final product of the accounting system itself - management decision-making by stakeholders and other users. The result of the behavioral approach is the formation of professional judgment directly among employees of accounting, management and stakeholders. It is proved that behavioral theory not only explains the behavior of an accountant, but also has an impact on the formation of his "Hard skills" and professional judgment, which directly affects the management decisions of users of accounting information. In addition, in the article it is reasonable that modern targets of behavioral science correlate with the goals of sustainable development and contribute to the harmonic and sustainable development of the economy and society.
Assessing Students’ Perspectives Towards Entrepreneurship in South Africa
Authors: Msosa Steven Kayambazinthu
Published: July 2022

The devastating truth for young people in the education sector, particularly at the tertiary level, is that they will have no job after finishing their degrees. It is still challenging to find work, making starting and running your own business an attractive and necessary alternative source of income. Thus, an avenue out of poverty exists in Africa’s critical need to be discovered and establishing a business may hold the key. This study sought to assess students’ perspectives on entrepreneurship in the South African higher education sector. Data was collected from 332 students using a probability sampling approach. Specifically, a simple random sampling technique was adopted to identify the respondents. A quantitative and descriptive study was undertaken using a Likert Scale questionnaire to ascertain students’ feelings towards entrepreneurship. Data were analyzed through the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 24 using descriptive statistics. Tables, percentages and frequency distribution were used to present the findings of this study. The results reveal an overwhelming agreement among students that various factors, viz. personal attitude, perceived behavior control, self-efficacy, subjective norms, and entrepreneurial intention, are the significant determinants of entrepreneurship. Therefore, institutional managers should provide a supportive structure and atmosphere to foster the growth of entrepreneurial behaviour. This could boost individual confidence and the sense that completing tasks is simple, hence promoting perceived behaviour control. The findings of this study could assist higher education institution managers in developing initiatives that can create and entrench entrepreneurial skills and mindsets in students such that they are well prepared to face the unpredictable and ever-changing world. This study has contributed to the literature on entrepreneurship in the higher education and the developing world. Future research should focus on a qualitative research design to understand the challenges students encounter in establishing startups.

Published: July 2022

With the rapid development of digital technology, a wide range of academic fields is devoting an increasing amount of attention to the study of “digital citizen building”, often known as “DC”. Despite the widespread use of the word, academics are free to define DC in any way they think proper. The primary emphasis of this extensive inquiry is an in-depth examination of every book that has ever been written about DC themes and values. Journal articles that other researchers have evaluated made up 114 of the total. The topic of education is mentioned in more than half of the entries on the list. Even while each major DC notion was welcomed by its specific disc method, they all had one thing in common: a storm. Concerns raised by participants and prior research on the DC study were considered in these outcomes. The difficulty is that there is a significant shortage of research information on young children, as well as a deficiency in the use of conventional methods of research that are relevant to developmental cohesion. According to the findings of the current integrated study, collaboration across different racial groups is necessary to solve both policy and operational challenges in the District of Columbia research community.

Published: July 2022

Quality characteristics of spirit drinks based on fruit distillates are formed mainly due to the concentration and the ratio of aroma-forming volatile components, part of which is transferred to a product from the initial raw materials. Analysis of data on the biochemical composition of the individual types of stone raw materials makes it possible to substantiate scientifically the regime parameters of the individual production stages and allows revealing adulteration. The present review considers questions concerning the search of chemical markers for fruit vodkas made on the basis of distillates from plum, cherry plum, cherry, sweet cherry, apricot and peach. The data are presented on the content of reducing sugars, titratable acidity, free amino acids, pH and sugar-acid index of the fruit raw materials under consideration. Significant variations of these indices depending on a raw material type and region of cultivation are shown. The questions of evaluation of the pectin complex in the individual types of stone raw materials are considered. The scheme of hydrolysis of pectin substances of fruit raw materials occurring at the stage of its preparation for distillation is presented. An important role of this process in formation of quality characteristics of fruit distillates and spirit drinks on their basis (fruit vodkas) is shown. The data on the composition and concentration of aroma-forming volatile components of individual types of stone raw materials are given. The data on the main physico-chemical characteristics of aroma-forming volatile components found in the fresh fruit types under consideration and methods for their analysis are presented. The generalized estimation of technological peculiarities of preparation of individual types of fruit raw materials for fermentation and distillation depending on their biochemical composition is given. In general, analysis of the data presented in this review allowed making a conclusion about prospects of investigations aimed to the development of identification indices of fruit distillates and fruit vodkas using the primary aroma-forming volatile components of raw materials.
Razvoj ljudskih kapaciteta i legitimnost državne intervencije
Authors: Sládeček Michal
Published: July 2022

Analiza polazi od Rawlsova stajališta da autonomne osobe u liberalnom društvu trebaju posjedovati dvije moralne moći – kapacitet koji se odnosi na smisao za pravdu te za formiranje, slijeđenje i reviziju koncepcije dobra. Politički ili neutralni liberalizam podržava opravdanost državne intervencije za poboljšanje prvog kapaciteta, ujedno proglašavajući utjecaj na drugi kapacitet nelegitimnim. Kritika ove pozicije izložena je kroz analizu stajališta Jonathana Quonga i Marthe Nussbaum, ukazujući na to da ona vode do dozvoljavanja iracionalnih i autoritarnih pozicija u obrazovanju, odnosno do zapostavljanja razvoja vrijednih kapaciteta. Premda institucionalni utjecaj može biti pristran i paternalistički, u pojedinim se slučajevima može ukazati na legitimnost institucionalne intervencije u osiguravanju uvjeta koji poboljšavaju sposobnost osoba da procjenjuju, preispituju i revidiraju vlastite koncepcije dobra.
Formalna strana obrazovanja
Authors: Vranešević Goran
Published: July 2022

U radu se izlaže formalni vidik obrazovnog procesa, koji suvremena pedagoška ideologija strukturno ne uzima u obzir. Pedagogija je kao trud za ostvarenje specifičnih ciljeva, kroz svoju formaciju, postala konstitutivna srž društvene realnosti. Na isti način na koji smo nesvjesno upleteni u ideološku realnost putem zajedničkih društvenih praksi, tako ostajemo slijepi i za formalni vidik savjesnih obrazovnih djelatnosti, bez obzira na njihovu aktualnost. Dok se trudimo razumom uspostaviti red, logiku i smisao, istovremeno ostvarujemo um koji ne rezultira odgovarajućim poznavanjem sadržaja, nego onime, što spoznajni subjekt ne zna. Um izniče kroz spoznavanje neuspješnog traganja za znanjem i istinom, pri čemu je formalni vidik pedagogije – upravo odraz tog neuspjeha. Zato istinska samorefleksija ne može biti ni ishodište, a ni cilj, nego se može ostvariti samo usputno – u procesu formiranja pojedinca. Tako se Hegelov doprinos pedagogiji ne ogledava u tome što nastupa kao nositelj istinskog znanja ili ijednog ispravnog načina poučavanja, nego u tome što svojom privrženošću umu podaruje to nereflektirano ideološko jedro suvremenog društvenog uređenja.
Rekonstruiranje Leibnizove obrazovne teorije
Authors: Popović Saša
Published: July 2022

U radu je provedena povijesno-filozofska rekonstrukcija Leibnizove obrazovne teorije. U uvodu se navode egzegetski problemi koji se tiču lociranja Leibnizove »filozofije obrazovanja« unutar šireg korpusa njegovih djela i iznalaženja adekvatnog teorijskog okvira unutar kojega je moguće kontekstualizirati i rekonstruirati Leibnizove misli o obrazovanju. Potom je pokazano da nam taj okvir pruža Leibnizova praktična filozofija, tj. njegove ideje o optimalnoj državi i općem dobru. Analizirane su ključne teze Leibnizove etike i političke filozofije u cilju otkrivanja pozadine ideje o respublica optima i objašnjeno je kakvo bi obrazovanje, slijedeći Leibniza, trebalo biti da bi omogućilo usavršavanje pojedinca i društva te doprinijelo ostvarenju općeg dobra. Na kraju, tvrdi se da je Leibniz u okviru svojega obrazovnog projekta artikulirao prosvjetiteljsku ideju koja je progresivnija od obrazovnih ideja filozofa koje obično asociramo s prosvjetiteljstvom osamnaestog stoljeća.
Toward a Broader Conception of “Liberal Naturalism”: Widening the Perspective
Authors: Pilgaard Petersen Nikolaj
Published: July 2022

Izraz naturalizam često se koristi za označavanje reduktivnog naturalizma i stoga je usko povezan s fizikalizmom. Različiti oblici liberalnog naturalizma razvijeni su kao alternativa reduktivnom naturalizmu. U ovom se radu tvrdi da je daljnje proširenje pojma naturalizma od pomoći. Zagovara se »široki« liberalni naturalizam, u kojem kriterij naturalizma nije vezan za premisu specifične metafizike, nego za ono što nedvojbeno čini naturalizam kao takav: prisutnost univerzalnih temeljnih načela o tome kako svijet funkcionira i pravilnosti ili zakoni prirode koji opisuju konkretno ponašanje svijeta. Ova vrsta naturalizma dopušta uključivanje nematerijalističke metafizike, poput oblika dualizma i idealizma. Ovaj je nalaz značajan zato što fizikalističko stajalište pada na nekoliko problema, a ponajviše u odgovarajućem tretmanu problema svijesti. S obzirom na pozitivnu konotaciju predikata naturalistički, takvo se uključivanje čini korisnim u legitimiranju potencijalno plodonosnog istraživanja manje konvencionalnih alternativa fizikalizmu i materijalizmu. Nadalje, to bi se moglo pokazati vrijednim ne samo iz teorijske ili akademske perspektive nego i iz egzistencijalne.
A novel formulation of the unintegrated gluon distribution for DIS
Authors: Mehtar-Tani Yacine
Published: July 2022

In this talk, we revisit inclusive DIS in the small x limit and derive a new factorization formula that accounts for leading powers in both Bjorken and Regge limits. In this semi-classical description, we obtain a new unintegrated gluon distribution which encompasses both the dipole operator and the gluon Parton Distribution Function with an explicit dependence on the longitudinal momentum fraction x.
Global Analysis of SSAs and the Impact of the EIC and SoLID on Tensor Charge Extractions
Authors: Pitonyak Daniel
Published: July 2022

Single transverse-spin asymmetries (SSAs) give great insight into the 3-dimensional structure of hadrons. We report on the first global QCD analysis of SSAs in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering, electron-positron annihilation, Drell-Yan, and single-inclusive proton-proton collisions. One byproduct of the analysis is an extraction of the transversity function, from which the nucleon tensor charges can be computed, and we find, for the first time, agreement with lattice QCD for these quantities. Based on this analysis, we perform an impact study of future data on extractions of the nucleon tensor charges.

The nuclear parton distribution functions (nPDFs) of gluons are known
to be difficult to determine with fits of deep inelastic scattering (DIS)
and Drell-Yan (DY) data alone. Therefore, the nCTEQ15 analysis of nuclear PDFs
added inclusive neutral pion production data from RHIC to help in constraining the gluon.
In this analysis, we present a new global analysis of nuclear PDFs based
on a much larger set of single inclusive light hadron data from RHIC
and the LHC. Using our new nCTEQ code (nCTEQ++) with an optimized version of INCNLO we study systematically the limitations of the theory and the
impact of the fragmentation function uncertainty.
Measuring the light meson nuclear modification factor in p-Pb collisions over an unprecedented $p_{\text{T}}$ range with ALICE
Authors: König Joshua
Published: July 2022

Differential invariant cross sections of light neutral mesons in p-Pb collisions at \sqrt{s_{NN}}sNN = 8.16 TeV and in pp collisions at \sqrt{s}s = 8 TeV have been measured up to very high transverse momentum (p_TpT). By combining independent reconstruction techniques available in ALICE using the EMCal and PHOS calorimeters as well as the central barrel tracking detectors, the combined spectra cover almost two orders of magnitude in p_TpT~for the \pi^0π0~meson. The nuclear modification factor R_{pPb}RpPb~has been measured for the \pi^0π0~and \etaη~mesons and is found to be consistent with NLO pQCD, CGC and energy loss calculations. Comparisons to the R_{pPb}RpPb~of \pi^0π0~measured in \sqrt{s_{NN}}sNN = 5.02 TeV hint at a stronger suppression at low p_TpT~with increasing collision energy.
Investigation of the background in coherent $J/\psi$ production at the EIC
Authors: Chang Wan
Published: July 2022

Understanding fundamental properties of nucleons and nuclei are among
the most important scientific goals of the next-generation machine, the
Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). With the unprecedented versatility provided
by the EIC, it will provide answers to many standing puzzles and open
questions in modern nuclear physics. One of the golden measurements at
the EIC is coherent vector meson production in electron-nucleus (eA)
scattering in order to obtain the spatial gluon density distribution in
heavy nuclei. This requires the experiment to overcome an overwhelmingly
large background arising from the incoherent diffractive production,
where the nucleus mostly breaks up into fragments of particles in the
far-forward direction close to the hadron beam rapidity. In this report,
we systematically study the rejection of incoherent
J/\psiJ/ψ
production by vetoing products from the nuclear breakup - protons,
neutrons, and photons, which is modeled with the BeAGLE event generator
and the most up-to-date EIC Far-forward Interaction Region design.
Impact parameter dependence of color charge correlations in the proton
Authors: Dumitru Adrian , Mäntysaari Heikki , Paatelainen Risto
Published: July 2022

The impact parameter dependence of color charge correlators in the
proton is obtained from the light front formalism in light cone gauge.
We include NLO corrections due to the |qqqg\rangle|qqqg⟩
Fock state via light-cone perturbation theory. Near the center of the
proton, the bb-dependence
of the correlations is very different from a ``transverse profile
function’’. The resulting tt-dependence
of exclusive J/\PsiJ/Ψ
photoproduction transitions from exponential to power law at
|t| \approx 1|t|≈1~GeV^22.
This prediction could be tested at upcoming DIS facilities or in
nucleus-proton ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs).
Nucleon and pion PDFs: large-x asymptotics meets functional mimicry
Authors: Courtoy Aurore , Nadolsky Pavel
Published: July 2022

We review strategies to unveil the primordial
large-xx
structure of the nucleons as well as the pion from hard-scattering
experiments. Ideas are presented for learning about the
x\to 1x→1
limit of nonperturbative QCD dynamics at energy scales of order 1 GeV
from collider experiments at much higher scales. The behavior of parton
distributions at x\to 1x→1
predicted by the quark counting rules and other low-energy theoretical
approaches is contrasted with phenomenological PDFs. Polynomial mimicry
of PDF parametrizations is one of many factors that influence the
apparent power of the (1-x)(1−x)
falloff. We discuss implications of the mimicry for the
large-xx
falloff of the pion PDFs.
$tW$ and $tZ'$ production at hadron colliders
Authors: Kidonakis Nikolaos , Guzzi Marco , Yamanaka Nodoka
Published: July 2022

We present theoretical results with soft-gluon corrections for two separate processes: (1) the production of a single top quark in association with a W boson in the Standard Model; and (2) the production of a single top quark in association with a heavy Z' boson in new physics models with or without anomalous couplings. We show that the higher-order corrections from soft-gluon emission are dominant for a wide range of collider energies. Results are shown for the total cross sections and top-quark transverse-momentum and rapidity distributions for tW and tZ' production at LHC and future collider energies up to 100 TeV. The uncertainties from scale dependence and parton distribution functions are also analyzed.
Connected and Disconnected Sea Partons from CT18 Parametrization of PDFs
Authors: Hou Tie-Jiun , Liang Jian , Liu Keh-Fei , Yan Mengshi , Yuan Chien-Peng
Published: July 2022

The separation of the connected and disconnected sea partons, which
were uncovered in the Euclidean path-integral formulation of the
hadronic tensor, is accommodated with the CT18 parametrization of the
global analysis of the parton distribution functions (PDFs). This is
achieved with the help of the distinct small
xx
behaviors of these two sea parton components and the constraint from the
lattice calculation of the ratio of the strange momentum fraction to
that of the {\bar u}u‾
or {\bar d}d‾
in the disconnected insertion. This allows lattice calculations of
separate flavors in both the connected and disconnected insertions to be
directly compared with the global analysis results term by term.
Opportunities for inclusive diffraction at EIC
Authors: Slominski Wojtek , Armesto Nestor , Newman Paul , Stasto Anna
Published: July 2022

The possibilities for inclusive diffraction in the Electron Ion Collider, EIC, in the US, are analyzed.
We find that thanks to the excellent forward proton tagging, the EIC will be able to access a wider kinematical range of longitudinal momentum fraction and momentum transfer of the leading proton than at HERA.
This opens up the possibility to measure subleading diffractive exchanges.
The extended t-range would allow the precise extraction of 4-dimensional reduced cross section in diffraction.
In addition, the varying beam energy setups at the EIC would allow for precise measurements of the longitudinal diffractive structure function.
What do DVCS data tell us about TCS observables?
Authors: Grocholski Oskar , Moutarde H. , Pire B. , Sznajder Paweł , Wagner Jakub
Published: July 2022

Deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) and timelike Compton scattering (TCS) leading twist amplitudes are intimately related thanks to their analytic properties as a
function of Q^2Q2. We exploit this feature to use Compton form factors previously
extracted from available DVCS data and derive data-driven predictions
for TCS observables to be measured in near future experiments. Our
results quantitatively illustrate the complementarity of DVCS and TCS
experiments.
Studying hadronization at LHCb
Authors: Lee Sookhyun
Published: July 2022

LHCb is a fully instrumented forward spectrometer with particle
identification and muon reconstruction covering the pseudorapidity
(\etaη)
range from 2 to 5. Its full jet reconstruction capability makes the LHCb
experiment a suitable venue to explore jet substructure observables,
particularly formation of hadrons and heavy quarkonia resonances inside
jets. This contribution presents a brief overview of ongoing research
program and discusses recent results on non-identified charged hadron
distributions in Z-tagged jets and charmonium distributions within jets.
Future works towards furthering the knowledge of hadronizion are also
discussed.
A general-mass scheme for prompt charm production at hadron colliders

Published: July 2022

In these proceedings, we apply the recently developed S-ACOT-MPS
factorization scheme at the next-to-leading order to prompt charm
production at hadron colliders. It provides a good agreement with
experimental data on charm meson production measured by LHCb at 7 and 13

data are on the margins of the theoretical error bands, emphasizing the
importance of including contributions beyond the next-to-leading
order.
Dark Matter searches with the ATLAS Detector
Authors: Frattari Guglielmo
Published: July 2022

The presence of a non-baryonic dark matter (DM) component in the Universe is inferred from the observation of its gravitational interaction. If dark matter interacts weakly with the Standard Model (SM) it could be produced at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment has developed a broad search program for DM candidates, including resonance searches for the mediator which would couple DM to the SM. The results of recent searches on 13 TeV pp data, their interplay and interpretation will be presented. Prospects for HL-LHC will also be discussed.
Longitudinal double-spin asymmetries of inclusive jet and dijet production at STAR
Authors: Zurek Maria
Published: July 2022

The STAR experiment probes the gluon helicity distribution
\Delta g(x, Q^2)Δg(x,Q2)
using collisions of longitudinally polarized protons at
\sqrt{s} = 200s=200~GeV
and \sqrt{s} = 510s=510~GeV.
\Delta g(x, Q^2)Δg(x,Q2)
can be accessed through the double-spin asymmetries
A_{LL}ALL
in gluon-dominated hard scattering processes via inclusive jet and dijet
production. This proceedings report on recent measurements of
A_{LL}ALL
for inclusive jets and dijets in the mid-pseudorapidity
(|\eta| < 1|η|<1)
and dijets in the intermediate pseudrapidity
(-0.8 < \eta < 1.8−0.8<η<1.8)
regions. These measurements provide sensitivity to
\Delta g(x, Q^2)Δg(x,Q2)
for gluon momentum fractions xx
from \simeq 0.5≃0.5
down to \simeq 0.004≃0.004.
The results are in good agreement with previous STAR measurements and
recent theoretical evaluations of prior world data.
Recent results on Central Exclusive Production with the STAR detector
Authors: Sikora Rafał
Published: July 2022

We present results on the Central Exclusive Production of charged
particle pairs h^{+}h^{-}h+h−
(h = \pi, K, ph=π,K,p),
pp\to p^\prime+h^{+}h^{-}+p^\primepp→p′+h+h−+p′,
obtained with the STAR experiment at RHIC in proton-proton collisions at
a center-of-mass energy of \sqrt{s} = 200s=200~GeV.
All final-state particles were reconstructed, including
forward-scattered protons detected in the Roman Pot system. As a result,
the Double Pomeron Exchange (DPE) events were selected and the
non-exclusive backgrounds were efficiently rejected.

Differential fiducial cross sections were measured as functions of
observables related to the central hadronic final state and to the
forward-scattered protons. The measured cross sections were compared to
phenomenological model predictions based on the DPE.

We also present preliminary results on the measurement of the same
physics process at higher collision energy
\sqrt{s} = 510s=510~GeV.
The data demonstrate features similar to those observed at
\sqrt{s} = 200s=200~GeV.
Influence of employee-manager relationship on employee performance and productivity
Authors: Pearl Dlamini Nosipho , Suknunan Sachin , Bhana Anrusha
Published: July 2022

Organizational performance can be seen as dependent on employee job performance and productivity. One of the factors that influence employee job performance and productivity is the working relationship between employees and their managers. This paper examines the influence of the relationship between employees and their managers on enhancing employee performance and productivity. The study was conducted in a financial organization based in Durban (South Africa). A quantitative approach was utilized with a census method targeting a total population of 40 administrative employees. A questionnaire was constructed based on the research aims and was administered to all 40 respondents. As a result, the response rate was 65%. Key findings indicated that the relationship between managers and employees did affect employee performance and productivity. A positive relationship with a manager is closely linked to increased motivation and performance, while a negative relationship is linked with poor performance. An overall negative impact and high level of dissatisfaction amongst employees were found due to the current bureaucratic management style that managers adopt in their organization. Thus, it makes employees less productive and decreases their work performance. Furthermore, it was found that employees’ perception of their relationship with managers plays a significant role in predicting job performance. Recommendations for a better working relationship to promote employee performance and productivity include manager-employee training, team building activities, skills development programs for managers, employee rewards and recognition, increased communication platforms, and more consideration for employee well-being.
Beneish Model: Detection of Indications of Financial Statement Fraud Using CEO Characteristics
Authors: Masruroh Siti , Carolina Anita
Published: July 2022

The study aims to analyze the influence of CEO characteristic factors on indications of financial statement fraud using the Beneish Model. Based on the upper echelon theory, this study proposes six hypotheses which are tested using logistic regression analysis. This study uses secondary data derived from financial statements or annual reports of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019. The results of this study show that CEO characteristics in the form of CEO age, educational background, and work experience cannot be used as indicators that can detect financial statement fraud. Meanwhile, some other characteristics that are still the focus of this study, such asCEO’s gender, tenure, and nationality havean influence on indications of financial statement fraud. So, it can be concluded that the CEO characteristics that have a link in detectingfinancial statement fraud can be considered fraud prevention efforts.
The Rise of Yawol Poetry in Manipuri Literature
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of English, Tripura University, Tripura, India, Premchandra Kshetrimayum
Published: July 2022

The Manipuri term yawol or ya-ol means ‘a new awakening or beginning’. It is a term primarily associated with the Manipuri insurgency movement known locally as yawol eehou. Apart from the impending political turmoil and the polarising nature of this movement, there was a passionate, phenomenal boom of literary products in the Manipuri language since the 70s issuing from this insurgency movement. Yawol poetry is both a poetic movement and a literary period, much like the Mizo literature ‘Rambuai’ and Naga literature of the ‘troubled times’. The urge to adopt a new style of writing based on lived experiences rather than some poetic fancy or nostalgia for a bygone era by the Manipuri writers, especially in poetry, coincided with the rise of the insurgency movement in the state. Names such as ‘violent literature’ or ‘blood literature’ that have characterised Manipuri literature sometimes overshadow the ‘non-violent’ yet rich poetic expressions intrinsic to the state. However, not addressing the widespread prevalence of violence and anarchy in Manipuri literature will be historically and aesthetically incorrect. In this paper, the author shall explore the rise of such a distinct poetic style adopted by scores of Manipuri poets across four decades and explain why the poetics of blood and violence have been a significant mainstay in Manipuri poetry.
Filming Folktales: The ‘Uncanny’ in Bhaskar Hazarika’s Kothanodi (“The River of Fables”)
Authors:   Department of English, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India, Hussain Farddina
Published: July 2022

The affinity between Assamese literature and cinema has only grown over the years since its inception in 1935; in the history of Assamese cinema, film adaptation had begun with Jyoti Prasad Agarwala’s Joymoti and Padum Baruah’s Gonga Silonir Pakhi. It is no surprise that Bhaskar Hazarika too turned towards the well-known collection of folktales Burhi Air Sadhu by Lakshminath Bezbaroa for the subject of his debut feature film Kothanodi, The River of Fables in 2015. Bezbaroa in the book mentions his views on folktales as markers of cultural identity of Assamese community and wanted his anthology to strengthen the feelings of Assamese nationalism among the people of the land. The paper proposes to reflect on this take of Bezbaroa on identity and culture, and go ahead to analyse the gaze of Bhaskar Hazarika as an auteur. With two successful feature films to his credit, the filmmaker is known for his depiction of the ‘uncanny’ (Freud) and horror to delve deep into the dark recesses of the mind, and society simultaneously. Whereas Bezbaroa’s folktales have been regarded as bedtime stories for children, the paper would like to argue that the viewing of these tales in the film by young children evokes horror and dismay. The dialectical simulation of images created by the auteur resonates more with the adult minds as he offers the contours of his film-philosophy with an Amazonian cosmology.
Nonlinear Analysis of Beams made of High Strength Concrete Prestressed with Unbonded Tendons
Authors: KOWALSKI D.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The paper presents numerical analysis methods of High-Strength Concrete (HSC) beams prestressed with unbonded tendons. Furthermore, it compares obtained results with experimental data from the literature. Prestressing tendons have been modelled in a discrete form, using one-dimensional finite elements. A temperature drop inflicted prestress force. Contact issues have been considered, i.e. friction and pressure at the interface between the cable and the duct wall. In the work, it was found that it is possible to obtain satisfactory accuracy of results with the model in use. Accurate P-Δ (load-deflection) curves were achieved matching experimental data.

The Model for Analyzing and Improving Aluminum Castings
Authors: CZERWIŃSKA K.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to develop a model for the analysis and improvement of aluminum castings and to perform its test in the framework of verifying the quality of industrial robot arm parts, and then, determine the causes of potential and root causes of nonconformities, including proposing improvement actions in the production area. Aluminum castings have become the focus of research due to significant problems in maintaining their expected level of quality. The use of the model (consisting of eddy current testing and consecutive brainstorming sessions, Ishikawa diagram, and ABCD - Suzuki method) would contribute to the detection of the causes of nonconformities and consequently to the elimination of non-conforming products. The study demonstrates the desirability of using an integrated approach to solving quality problems. The actions taken were a new solution for the company, as no in-depth analysis of quality problems using a sequence of quality management techniques had been carried out before.

Authors: DANIELEWSKI H.
Published: July 2022

Abstract. This paper presents the concept of concentric peripheral joint. Designed concentric joint was projected to laser welding process, where using keyhole effect deep penetration trough three materials was presented. Concept of concentric joint includes using of elastic stainless steel material as an connector between two pipes. Stainless steel in form of a ring was used as an additional distance element, joined with two pipes. Presented concept was investigated using numerical simulation based on finite element method with Simufact Welding software. Performed investigation of laser welding presents possibility of using single and double beam welding. Performed simulation included a sealed joint, where only partial penetration of bottom material was obtained and full penetration joint [1]. The authors presented a comparative study of the joints using single and double laser beam welding. The welding parameters for the assumed joints were estimated via numerical simulations [2]. The study of the concentric lap joint shows the possibility of using laser beam welding in single pass welding for obtained assumed joint geometry [3].
Usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Medical Services: A Review
Authors: KOZIOŁ A.
Published: July 2022

Abstract: The usage of drone technology has increased in a vast range of disciplines, including medical services. Drones can aerially deliver medical supplies and laboratory test samples during health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It can also be used as a delivery device for an automated external defibrillator which might significantly increase the survival chances of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest victims. Significant cost savings compared with ground transportation and speed of delivery will probably drive drone implementation in various areas in the next few years.
