Issues are spread about environmental conditions to develop and many become the topic of discussion. One prevention that can be done is to use green products. this study aims to explain environmental concern and social media influence on purchase decisions by mediating green product awareness. The population in this study is the people of Semarang City. The number of samples used was 100 respondents who had bought Lock & Lock products at least once. The sampling technique used is nonprobability sampling with a purposive sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The analysis technique used is the path analyst and Sobel test. The results of the analysis show that environmental concern and social media cannot directly influence purchasing decisions, but rather must be mediated through green product
The Evolutionary Development of Transit Transport of Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Authors: Tsvetkov V. A. , Zoidov K. Kh. , Medkov A. A.
Published: May 2020

The presented study identifies modern organizational and institutional trends in the evolutionary development of transit transport of temperature-sensitive goods.

Aim. The study aims to determine the place and role of transit transport of temperature-sensitive goods across Russia and within the Eurasian space via global communication lines as an efficient direction for the development of transit economy, an innovative method of transport, and a highly profitable form of export for transport services.

Tasks. The authors examine, systematize, and analyze the organizational and institutional directions for the evolutionary development of transit transport of temperature-sensitive goods and formulate proposals for implementing the most efficient corporate mechanisms for the development of transit economy in Russia and formation of a global Eurasia.

Methods. This study uses the methods of evolutionary-institutional theory, systems analysis, theory of engineering and manufacturing balance, and historical approach.

Results. It is determined that the development of transport of temperature-sensitive and other sensitive goods should be evolutionary. In the early 21st century, the transport of fish and seafood from the Asia-Pacific region to the European Union is becoming increasingly important for meeting the demands of retail trade and the food service industry. The benefits (competitive advantages) and shortcomings (market problems) of transit transport of temperature-sensitive goods by different modes of transport are identified. A set of organizational and institutional measures has been developed to improve the traceability of movement of Russian food products for the purpose of development, dispatch, and regular operation of a fleet of “cold express trains”.

Conclusions. One of the organizational and institutional directions for the evolutionary development of transit transport of temperature-sensitive goods involves the activity of supranational political and integration entities, primarily the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), and their efforts to create a unified transport space and to combine infrastructure and integration projects. The establishment of a supranational Eurasian Transit Transport Company (ETTC) should serve as a corporate framework for integration processes within the global Eurasian space in terms of linking transport and communication systems.

Sleep Quality of Diabetic Patients with Metabolic Syndrome, is There a Difference?
Authors: Karatas Savas , Işıklar Aysun
Published: May 2020

Poor sleep quality is a prevalent health problem among patients with diabetes. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is common in type 2 diabetic patients and associated with morbidity and mortality. We aimed to investigate sleep quality among type 2 diabetes patients according to their metabolic syndrome status. This was an analysis of data collected from 189 adult type 2 diabetic patients. The patients divided into two groups (metabolic and non-metabolic) based on the presence of MetS. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and serum glucose, lipid levels were collected. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) calculated for all patients. There was no significant difference in subjective sleep quality scores between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in sleep latency scores between the two groups; the scores of patients with MetS were lower than those of patients without MetS (p = 0.010, p < 0.05).Sleep quality was low in 57.1% (n = 108) of patients with diabetes. Poor sleep is common among diabetic patients, but in this study, metabolic syndrome existence not associated with sleep quality in type 2 diabetic patients.
A Cognitive Study on the Metonymy of Comparative Sentences describing the Tea in Korean and Chinese Languages: around Korean expressions corresponding to both words of ‘高(High)’ and ‘低(Low)’ based on comparison from Chinese language

Comparison is a universal phenomenon in man’s life as a method of comparing more than one object or situation. We often use comparative expressions comparing more than object or situation in our daily lives. There are some similarities and differences between Korean and Chinese languages in such comparative expression styles. So, this article aims to find and consider differences in the comparative expression ways by studying the comparative result expressions in some comparative sentences describing the tea in Korean and Chinese contemporary novel texts. Among the expressions, this article intends to examine several expression ways in Korean language being corresponded to ‘高(high)’ and ‘低(low)’ of Chinese words as a comparative result in comparative sentences describing the tea in aspect of writing technique ‘metonymy’, one of major interests in cognitive linguistics. Among them, this article intends to examine the metonymy based on the expanding call that expands from a part to the whole, and the diminishing call that diminishes from the whole to a part. And it will consider the guidance function in aspect of expansive call, and the differences in active areas and profile as well as the reference point in aspect of diminishing call.

The study of Ancient event about Duwu, Mangje, and Duogyeon
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, . .
Published: May 2020

Ancient event related to Duwu, Mangje, and Duogyeon is a favorite subject of many Korean and Chinese writers. In the literature, this story is revealed by the feelings of 'Tragedy', 'Bitter grief, and 'Sorrow.' However, Duwu, Mangje, and Duogyeon in the writings of such writers are a little different from the early historical records. Such early records show that the people were saddened by the king who had gone away from the throne because of his powerlessness and private correspondence. If we accord such a early record, Ancient event related to Duwu, Mangje, and Duogyeon cannot contain such a sad emotion. Thus, in this paper, we looked at the substance of the Du-Wu, Mang-Je and Du-Gyun tests through other materials. As a result, Du-Wu(Mang-Je) was a leader who ruled Chok nation well, but he was an unfortunate king who was unjustly killed by his Chancellor after being overthrown by his throne. For the loss of such a great king, the people were saddened by the sound of Duogyeon vomiting blood. Such an entity could also be found in images of the Duwu, Mangje and Duogyeon, which were painted in the poems of Korean and Chinese writers.
An Investigation on the Active enjoy works of Chinese Poetry Animation: An Analysis of Chinese Poetry and Animation by Chinese Poetry Animation Production Group
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, . .
Published: May 2020

This paper analyzes how the classical works can become modern style by analyzing five Chinese poetry animations produced by the Chinese Poetry Animation Production Group. China has been thinking about how to attract public attention through the process of change and reinterpretation between traditional culture and popular culture. In addition, five Chinese poetry animations produced by Chinese Poetry Animation Production Group show the bold transformation of Chinese poetry, and the public begins to wake up the sleeping Chinese poem and communicate. Five animations of Chinese poetry are not only popular works that the Chinese are familiar with, but also works that show the characteristics of different writers of different ages. The Chinese Poetry Animation Production Group fully uses storytelling techniques to not only interpret the subject matter of poetry and historical anecdotes to the general public and modern, but also through these narrative devices, effectively conveys the overall feeling of Chinese poetry. Not only that, but by converting poetry into animation, the audio-visual content can resonate beyond national boundaries and languages. But on the other hand, the key point is what it means to communicate through these videos. Although the five Chinese poetry animations produced by the Chinese Poetry Animation Production Group are interesting to the audience through carefully choreographed storylines and gorgeous images, each of them hides Confucian values and ethics so that the audience who watches the program can naturally and actively accept historical facts and ideas. These aspects are still a useful testament to the modern age's traditional view of the utility of poetry and the common value of society, and how to change the classicality of appearance through the continuous use of modernity.
On the Occurrence of Modern Chinese Novels
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, Zhao Bin , . .
Published: May 2020

It is very meaningful for us to put the novels of late Qing Dynasty and May 4th together and examine “the occurrence of modern Chinese novels” around the “time” of the novels. Modernity is a problem of time. Thinking around “time” is a return to the problem itself, which should expand and extend the topic of “the occurrence of modern Chinese novels”. The occurrence of modern Chinese novels is closely related to the narrative time and modernity time of novels. From the perspective of narrative time, whether it is from “full time” to “cross section”, or from “pause” to “omission”, or the psychological presentation of narrative time, all play an important role in the occurrence of modern Chinese novels, and the psychological presentation of narrative time in novels is also very important. With the emergence of psychological impression novels, the plot timeline of novels has almost completely collapsed, the structure of novels has shifted from plot time to psychological space, from the outside to the inside, and the novels have completed the modern transformation from writing stories to writing people, from the outside to the inside. From the perspective of modernity time, compared with the time-space form of novels, the changes of modernity time in novels are more lively and rapid. The growth process of human beings and the evolution process of events are put into concrete time-space and into a linear development time-space. The character changes of characters and the causal development of events all exist in the time process. Therefore, the characters in novels have real psychological and life activity tracks, which is fundamental to the promotion of the modern transformation of Chinese novels.
The Meaning of the Third-space in Zhang Ailing’s Novel
Authors:   The Society For Chinese Humanities In Korea, . .
Published: May 2020

Literature is art which is performed in fictional time-space. Therefore, it must be related to the life of the writer. Every work of writers represents their own understanding and perception of the space. For example, we can find Zhang Ailing’s spacial narratives in the works like The First Incense Burnt, The Golden Cangue , Love in a Fallen City and Written on Water . Zhang Ailing uses her own spacial experience as a medium leading the narrative of her works. Furthermore, she tries to highlight the image of space by breaking the tradition of old novel’s linear narrative. At this point Zhang Ailing’s works are different from old chinese novels which have linear narrative, and they are also different from western novel which focused on the charaters. Her works come from her own distictive view of space which is related with personal and historical experience. Zhang Ailing creates the third-space surpassing traditional dichotomous awareness of space, and the thrid-space works as a flexible stratergy, also as a metaphor of space. ‘Bleakness’ is a significant aesthetic feature of Zhang Ailing’s works. Zhang Ailing has profound insight to women, and it intensifies her own spacial awarness, espcially feminine space. As a result, We can say that Zang Ailing’s works are deeply seeking the spirit space of urban women, and infusing bleakness in her fictions. Since Zang Ailing’s first novel was published, there were many studies about her works. However, few analyzed them as spacial narrative. This article would analyze ‘the third space’ as a distinctive spacial awarness of Zhang Ailing through examinating images of city and house as spacially and narratively.

This paper is based on the study of ‘JISHI P, Q' complex sentences and reinterpreted the logical connection of ‘JISHI P, Q'. Through various example analysis, the internal semantic relation of ‘JISHI P, Q' is classified in detail, and based on this, the meaning of the Korean corresponding to the ‘JISHI P, Q' is presented. The results of this study are as follows: 1. We have provided plenty of examples related to the ‘JISHI P, Q' to represent factual content. In addition, the grammatical features appearing in the sentence of the ‘JISHI P, Q' which represent factual content, are newly presented. 2.The ‘JISHI P, Q' expressing hypothetical or factual content is categorized and illustrated. This allows us to recognize that the ‘JISHI P, Q' can appear in many forms. 3.The Korean meanings corresponding to the ‘JISHI P, Q' in hypothetical and factual content are presented separately. ‘-더라도’ can be used in most ‘JISHI P, Q' constructs, but it can be applied mainly to hypothetical meanings, and ‘-아/어도’ is relatively natural when expressing factual meanings. In addition, ‘-ㅁ 에도’ and ‘-ㄹ지라도’ can also appear in factual meaning expressions, and sometimes ‘- 지만’ may be used. It is hoped that the results of this study can be helpful for the writing and education of grammar.

Translation is not only a transformation between two different languages or symbols, but also a kind of cross-cultural communication behavior, as well as a communication of ideas and cultures among different nationalities. Based on the analysis of the cultural context in the translation context, and taking Korean- Chinese translation as an example, this paper discusses the important role of cultural context in Korean-Chinese translation from the aspects of social culture context, historical culture context, language culture context and customs cultural culture.
Weakly-Supervised Vessel Detection in Ultra-Widefield Fundus Photography Via Iterative Multi-Modal Registration and Learning
Authors: Ding Li , Kuriyan Ajay E. , Ramchandran Rajeev S. , Wykoff Charles C. , Sharma Gaurav
Published: May 2020

We propose a deep-learning based annotation efficient framework for vessel detection in ultra-widefield (UWF) fundus photography (FP) that does not require de novo labeled UWF FP vessel maps. Our approach utilizes concurrently captured UWF fluorescein angiography (FA) images, for which effective deep learning approaches have recently become available, and iterates between a multi-modal registration step and a weakly-supervised learning step. In the registration step, the UWF FA vessel maps detected with a pre-trained deep neural network (DNN) are registered with the UWF FP via parametric chamfer alignment. The warped vessel maps can be used as the tentative training data but inevitably contain incorrect (noisy) labels due to the differences between FA and FP modalities and the errors in the registration. In the learning step, a robust learning method is proposed to train DNNs with noisy labels. The detected FP vessel maps are used for the registration in the following iteration. The registration and the vessel detection benefit from each other and are progressively improved. Once trained, the UWF FP vessel detection DNN from the proposed approach allows FP vessel detection without requiring concurrently captured UWF FA images. We validate the proposed framework on a new UWF FP dataset, PRIMEFP20, and on existing narrow field FP datasets. Experimental evaluation, using both pixel wise metrics and the CAL metrics designed to provide better agreement with human assessment, shows that the proposed approach provides accurate vessel detection, without requiring manually labeled UWF FP training data.
SE NON ESISTESSE UN LUOGO DOVE STARE AL SICURO? TERREMOTO E SUBLIME: DAGLI SCRITTI PRE-CRITICI ALLA KRITIK DER URTEILSKRAFT
Authors: CARAMEL Niccolò , POGGI Davide
Published: May 2020

Lo spaventoso sisma di Lisbona, verificatosi il 1° novembre 1755, non comportò solo incalcolabili devastazioni sul piano socio-economico, ma andò a colpire profondamente tanto l’immaginario popolare (minandone le certezze quotidiane), quanto i savants dell’Europa settecentesca, stimolando un’intensa riflessione (che coprì l’intero spettro dei punti di vista, da quello teologico, a quello scientifico). Il giovane Kant è chiaro exemplum dell’interesse suscitato dall’eccezionale fenomeno tellurico presso gli illuministi: tra il gennaio e l’aprile del 1756, egli dette alle stampe tre brevi saggi interamente dedicati alla descrizione scientifica del terremoto portoghese, saggi che si inseriscono nel contesto degli studi del pensatore di Königsberg riguardanti la filosofia della natura e, nello specifico, l’età, l’origine e la costituzione della terra (oggetto dei saggi del 1754 e del 1755). Con il presente lavoro, si intende portare all’attenzione del lettore quella che pare essere una precisa evoluzione della concezione dell’utilità del terremoto, nel passaggio dal periodo pre-critico a quello critico, in particolare nella Kritik der Urteilskraft (1790). Qui l’Autore pare escludere il terremoto dall’elenco degli eventi naturali catastrofici la cui esperienza, “se ci troviamo al sicuro”, genera nell’uomo il concetto di sublime dinamico (KU, AA 05: 261). Quali sono le ragioni per cui il terremoto non trova spazio in questo discorso? Il sisma perde cioè i caratteri di catastrofe agli occhi di Kant, oppure è giudicato così terrificante da togliere ogni razionalità all’uomo e impedire ogni spiraglio interpretativo?
REZENSION ZU HANS HEINZ HOLZ: LEIBNIZ IN DER REZEPTION DER KLASSISCHEN DEUTSCHEN PHILOSOPHIE, HRSG. VON JÖRG ZIMMER, DARMSTADT: WISSENSCHAFTLICHE BUCHGESELLSCHAFT, 2015.

Published: May 2020

Hans Heinz Holz hat maßgeblich zur Leibniz-Forschung beigetragen. Nach seinem Tod im Jahre 2012 hat Jörg Zimmer einige seiner kürzeren, verstreut publizierten Arbeiten zu Leibniz in zwei Bänden zusammengetragen und neu herausgegeben. Der vorliegende Band versammelt einzelne Aufsätze zu Leibniz und seinem historischen Kontext, etwa in Bezug zu Pascal, oder in der Rezeption durch Lessing, Gottsched, Hegel, Marx, Schelling und Feuerbach. Den Worten des Herausgebers zufolge soll es sich hierbei um Arbeiten zur Rezeptionsgeschichte handeln, wobei das historische Material anhand einer Problemgeschichte strukturiert ist (Vorwort, S. 9). Die Rezeption soll durch die strukturellen Übereinstimmungen der Problematik gedacht werden: Leibniz wird in diesen Texten auf einen anderen Denker bezogen, weil und insofern dieser dieselben Probleme behandelt oder weil Leibnizsche Ansätze neu aufgegriffen und überarbeitet werden; dabei wird Leibniz’ eigentliche Philosophie oftmals schlichtweg nicht verstanden (so Holz über Gottsched, siehe S. 50 ff.) oder unzureichend rezipiert, weil die relevanten Texte gar nicht vorlagen (so bei Hegel, siehe S. 83). Die beiden Texte zur Natur bei Leibniz und zu Leibniz und Pascal fallen nicht in dieses Schema.

The effect of study abroad on intercultural competence: Results from a longitudinal quasi-experimental study
Authors: Heinzmann Sybille , Künzle Roland , Schallhart Nicole , Müller Marianne
Published: May 2020

This study analyses the impact of short-term study abroad experiences on upper secondary school students’ intercultural competence by means of an experimental design including an intervention and a control group who are studied longitudinally by means of a pre-test, post-test and delayed post-test. In recent years there has been an increasing effort to evaluate the success of study abroad programs not only in terms of number of participants, but in terms of academic, intercultural and linguistic development. Nevertheless, few studies have employed the experimental designs needed to gauge the impact of study abroad programs and even fewer have included a delayed posttest which may shed light on the sustainability of identified effects. The present study includes a broad range of study abroad programs which differ in terms of certain key characteristics, such as duration, type of accommodation or target language. In this way, it is possible to analyse the effect of different parameters on the student’s intercultural development and, ultimately, to identify key factors for successful programs.

The paper starts by discussing different models of intercultural competence before outlining the model used in this study. This is followed by a presentation of the participants and the key characteristics of their individual study abroad programs. Analyses of covariance are used to examine the intercultural competence of the students in the control group and the intervention group at the time of the post-test and the delayed posttest and to identify key factors that contribute to the explanation of their intercultural competence. The findings indicate that short-term study abroad experiences have a positive influence on young people’s intercultural competence both short-term and longer-term. The most crucial factors for the explanation of the participants’ intercultural competence are their starting conditions, the duration of their stay, the amount of interaction with representatives of the target culture, and the regular use of the target language. The paper finishes with a discussion of implications for program design and of the limitations of the study.

A partir da proposta de Menezes (2006, 2011) de estudo das expressões linguísticas modalizadoras deônticas na construção da argumentação em discursos políticos, empreendemos análise retórico-linguística dos modos de atuação das expressões deônticas constitutivas do discurso de proclamação da independência da Guiné-Bissau. Tendo em vista a missão da Universidade da Integração Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB), como instituição de ensino internacional, valorizamos o debruçar-se sobre os textos entendidos como marcos históricos dos países que habitam a UNILAB, sob os mais diversos vieses. Entendemos que o estudo deste documento histórico sob o ponto de vista retórico-linguístico auxilia às reflexões acerca do próprio conceito de nação guineense, construído linguisticamente no discurso de proclamação da independência. Analisamos a íntegra do discurso de independência da Guiné-Bissau com base nos parâmetros “alvo” e “fonte” dos valores semânticos deônticos instaurados no discurso, bem como consideramos as partes constitutivas do discurso conforme delineadas pela retórica a fim de compreendermos os efeitos de sentido gerados pelas expressões linguísticas modalizadoras deônticas na construção da argumentação. Constatamos, ao longo de um discurso de sete páginas, a presença de vinte e nove expressões modalizadoras deônticas, localizadas nas partes do discurso destinadas à apresentação de provas e ao epílogo, cuja fonte emana de valores morais como a lealdade e que constroem um conceito de nação independente do julgo colonial que só alcançou e manterá tal configuração se mantiver estrutura monopartidária.

GRAMÁTICA, FUNCIONALISMO E ENSINO DE LÍNGUA
Authors: Ferreira Ediene Pena , Lima Leydiane Sousa
Published: May 2020

Com o objetivo de apresentar contribuições do paradigma funcionalista para o ensino de fatos gramaticais de língua portuguesa, propomos, neste trabalho, alguns modelos de exercícios com os verbos parecer, acabar, pegar e querer, que possibilitam a reflexão sobre língua portuguesa por meio de usos reais dessa língua. Para que esse objetivo pudesse ser alcançado, discorremos sobre diferentes conceitos de gramática e esclarecemos que compreendemos gramática como regularidade que estrutura o funcionamento da língua e que ensinar gramática é fazer com que o aluno reflita sobre esse funcionamento e compreenda a língua que tem. Esse conceito de gramática nos é apresentado pela abordagem funcionalista de linguagem, eleita para subsidiar nossa discussão. Dentre os temas de interesse do funcionalismo, e que nos deu subsídios para propor as atividades com os verbos, destacamos o paradigma da gramaticalização, compreendido como o processo pelo qual itens lexicais tornam-se gramaticais ou itens e construções já gramaticais tornam-se ainda mais gramaticais. Em outras palavras, gramaticalização é o processo de mudança linguística responsável pelo fazer-se da gramática.

Visualization of geospatial data: chaos in the dimensions
Authors: Dušek Radek , Miřijovský Jakub
Published: May 2020

2D maps, 2.5D terrain models and 3D visualization are examples of terms which are widely used in computer science, geography, cartography and also in geoinformatics. What do they, however, really mean? The paper tries to clarify the common terminology. Only the issue of three-dimensional space is discussed, without incorporating time and other dimensions. The authors want to draw attention to the often misguiding and pointless use of terms relating to the expression of space. The original and correct terms, originating from informatics and spatial data processing, have been transferred to the field of visualization, in which they are often ill founded and incorrect. An example commonly used in the literature is a reference to perspective projection as a 3D view, etc. Furthermore, the paper points to collisions in the use of these terms. Despite the fact that the terms are already commonly used in the literature, the authors recommend a change of the terms, especially in view of further technological developments in the field of spatial data visualization.

Published: May 2020

The paper deals with cartographical and geoinformatical evaluation of Czech urban plans. The disparity between plan and map terms and how this disparity is perceived by cartographers and city planners is discussed. The processing of urban plans with GIS and CAD software is depicted and two groups of the most common mistakes made by processors of urban plans are demonstrated. The first group includes cartographical mistakes, the second one technical mistakes generated during digital processing. Explanation of the potential impact of these imperfections on urban plan users is emphasized and the ways how to eliminate these mistakes are delineated. The recent standards for urban planning in Czechia and their future changes are described together with web visualisation of urban plans.

The dust storms and their recurrence are common phenomena in Iraq because it suffers from the exploitation of mankind to the natural environment and to the deterioration of vegetation and soil which responsible to the exposure of the soil to wind erosion leading to dust phenomena. Rain is one of the most influential climatic elements in reducing and minimizing the impact of dust storms. The amount of rainfall in Iraq is relatively small, where most of the year is not rainy. This in turn increases the dryness of the soil and increases the formation of dust storms. In this research data of (visibility, wind speed and direction and total rain amount) from the Iraqi Meteorological Organization and Seismology were analyzed for nine stations spread across the country (Mosul, Kirkuk, Haditha, Baghdad, Rutba, Nukhayb, Najaf, Amara and Nasiriya) for the period from 2001 - 2017 to compare annually severe dust storms with rainy seasons. Drought seasons were also determined using the percent of normal rainfall (PN) method. It was found that there was an inverse relationship between rainfall and severe dust storms, (according to Pearson’s correlation coefficient) where it was noticed that the highest amount of rainfall was in Mosul station with a total of 5231.6mm during the study period with only 6 severe dust storms during the same period. In other hand the lowest amount of rainfall was in Nukhayb station 1304.6mm during the study period with 62 severe dust storms.

Authors: Žeguniene Vaida , Kupriene Laima
Published: May 2020

The article focuses on the relatedness of language and culture and the possibility to make oneself familiar with culture through phraseological units which have to be understood and interpreted appropriately. Language consists of a set of linguistic signs shared by members of various societies and cultures. People identify objects and events, they find or do not find behavior appropriate in certain situations, they create objects, texts and discourses that other members of the societies and cultures find meaningful or struggle for their correct understanding. The study conducted proved that phraseological units play an important role in culture cognition process and provide people with a huge amount of additional information on cultural aspects despite the proficiency of the language used.

Published: May 2020

The peculiarities of motivation formation of employees of industrial enterprises to innovation activity have been investigated. The approach to assessing employees’ motivation to innovation activity with the use of the Harrington function has been offered. The concept of motivational acceleration of innovations and motivational inertia of innovations has been proposed. Motivational acceleration refers to the period of time in years during which the investment process which is carried out by motivated employees will soon go into the profitability zone compared to the process implemented by non-motivated employees. Motivational inertia of innovation is defined as an additional period of profit-making from the innovation process as compared to the process carried out by non-motivated employees

Introduction. A bezoar is a conglomerate comprising partially digested or undigested matters, impacted in the stomach. Trichobezoars (agglomerations of hair) occur most frequently in patients with mental disorders (trichotillomania) and represent a rare pathology that can entail diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties. Material and method. We are reporting a gastric trichobezoar case in 12 years old female patient with no pathological personal history, admitted for epigastric pain and food vomiting. Clinical examination revealed an epigastric formation of approx. 5/3cm, rigid, immobile and adhering to the deep structure, while laboratory tests revealed a mild microcytic hypochromic anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy provided visualization of a giant trichobezoar of approximately 17 cm, visible from the subcardial region down to the antral region, hooked by one hair onto an area with a pseudopolypoid inflammatory aspect located in the prepyloric region. The patient was referred to the pediatric surgery department, as the size of the trichobezoar did not allow for its endoscopic extraction. The initial attempt for laparoscopic extraction was unsuccessful and required a minimal left subcostal laparotomy, followed by gastrotomy with evacuation of the gastric trichobezoar. The postsurgical evolution was favorable. Discussions. Despite its low prevalence in humans, mortality can sometimes reach 30% in certain cases due to the bleeding, obstruction, peritonitis or ultimately the gastrointestinal perforations that could occur. Various endoscopic methods were reported for bezoar extractions, such as shock wave lithotripsy, removal via aspiration using a large gauge endoscope, extraction with polypectomy snare and biopsy forceps. Conclusion. The rareness of this pathology in the pediatric population requires a very careful differential diagnosis. The therapeutic difficulties result from the size of the trichobezoar, while the prognosis depends on the underlying psychiatric pathology.

Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health problem in all age groups, mainly caused by insufficient exposure to sunlight, inadequate diets, inefficient absorption and use, higher requirements or higher losses. Knowing the implications of vitamin D for the body and sensitive growth and development periods, it is important to perform biological determinations, to make proper prophylaxis and to intervene promptly when changes occur. The age groups recommended for vitamin D administration are infants (whether they receive natural, formula or complementary feeding) and adolescents. Besides the well-known role of vitamin D in phosphocalcic metabolism, there is an increasing debate about the involvement of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of non-musculoskeletal diseases.
