Tematyka publikacji dotyczy problemu wartości patriotycznych i narodowych w procesie dydaktyczno-wychowawczym realizowanym w szkołach powszechnych Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej. Związana jest z kształtowaniem się i funkcjonowaniem polskiego szkolnictwa stopnia najniższego oraz ideowymi aspektami funkcjonującego w tym okresie wychowania narodowego, a następnie państwowego. Te modele wychowawcze mimo pewnej zmienności w zakresie zalecanej hierarchii wartości, zarówno w nauczaniu jak i wychowaniu, odcisnęły wyraźne, korzystne piętno na postawach patriotycznych i utrwalaniu świadomości oraz tożsamości narodowej polskiej młodzieży okresu międzywojennego. Całość publikacji składa się z siedmiu rozdziałów. W rozdziale pierwszym omówiony został problem kształtowania się i organizacji szkolnictwa powszechnego w Polsce latach 1918-1939. W drugim ukazano idee i złożenia procesu wychowawczego. Rozdział trzeci przedstawia wzorce wychowawcze, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem legendy Józefa Piłsudskiego. W czwartym rozdziale dokonano charakterystyki wartości patriotycznych i narodowych, a także ich praktykowana w formie uroczystości o charakterze państwowym, szkolnym i religijnym, związanych z rocznicami wydarzeń historycznych i współczesnych. W rozdziale piątym scharakteryzowano patriotyczne znaczenie pamięci o powstaniach narodowych w pracy wychowawczej szkół, zaś w szóstym – omówiono ten pierwiastek w pracy organizacji szkolnych i społecznych. Rozdział siódmy traktuje o wartościach i patriotycznych i narodowych w szkolnym procesie dydaktycznym. Publikacja zwiera również wstęp, zakończenie, bibliografię, indeks nazw osobowych oraz indeks nazw miejscowych i geograficznych. Podstawowym materiałem źródłowym, który został wykorzystany w opracowaniu są kroniki szkolne, księgi protokołów z posiedzeń rad pedagogicznych, programy nauczania, inne pojedyncze dokumenty i publikacje majce charakter źródłowy. Przy opracowaniu przedstawionej problematyki wykorzystane zostały materiały źródłowe zarówno rękopiśmienne, jak i drukowane zgromadzone w archiwach państwowych i szkolnych. W kontekście literatury przedmiotu niniejsza praca stanowi kontynuację i istotne poszerzenie części aspektów problematyki wychowawczej szkolnictwa powszechnego z okresu Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej.
APPLICATION OF SPLINE FUNCTIONS AND WALSH FUNCTIONS IN PROBLEMS OF PARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION OF LINEAR NONSTATIONARY SYSTEMS
Authors: Stenin А. A. , Drozdovych I. G. , Soldatova M. O.
Published: July 2023

Context. In this article, a generalized parametric identification procedure for linear nonstationary systems is proposed, which uses spline functions and orthogonal expansion in a series according to the Walsh function system, which makes it possible to find estimates of the desired parameters by minimizing the integral quadratic criterion of discrepancy based on solving a system of linear algebraic equations for a wide class of linear dynamical systems. The accuracy of parameter estimation is ensured by constructing a spline with a given accuracy and choosing the number of terms of the Walsh series expansion when solving systems of linear algebraic equations by the A. N. Tikhonov regularization method. To improve the accuracy of the assessment, an algorithm for adaptive partitioning of the observation interval is proposed. The partitioning criterion is the weighted square of the discrepancy between the state variables of the control object and the state variables of the model. The choice of the number of terms of the expansion into the Walsh series is carried out on the basis of adaptive approximation of non-stationary parameters in the observation interval, based on the specified accuracy of their estimates. The quality of the management of objects with variable parameters is largely determined by the accuracy of the evaluation of their parameters. Hence, obtaining reliable information about the actual nature of parameter changes is undoubtedly an urgent task.

Objective. Improving the accuracy of parameter estimation of a wide class of linear dynamical systems through the joint use of spline functions and Walsh functions.

Method. A generalized parametric identification procedure for a wide class of linear dynamical systems is proposed. The choice of the number of terms of the expansion into the Walsh series is made on the basis of the proposed algorithm for adaptive partitioning of the observation interval.

Results. The results of modeling of specific linear non-stationary systems confirm the effectiveness of using the proposed approaches to estimating non-stationary parameters.

Conclusions. The joint use of spline functions and Walsh functions makes it possible, based on the proposed generalized parametric identification procedure, to obtain analytically estimated parameters, which is very convenient for subsequent use in the synthesis of optimal controls of real technical objects. This procedure is applicable to a wide class of linear dynamical systems with concentrated and distributed parameters.
OBJECT DETECTION PERFORMANCE INDICATOR IN VIDEO SUVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
Authors: Katerynchuk I. S. , Babaryka A. O. , Khoptinskiy R. P.
Published: July 2023

Context. The probability of detecting the object by the operator of the video surveillance system depends on a number of parameters (geometric dimensions of the object of observation, distance to the object of observation, parameters of the video surveillance camera, monitor parameters, etc.).

Objective. The purpose of the article is to develop an indicator of the effectiveness of detecting dynamic objects when evaluating the functioning of video surveillance systems.

Method. An indicator of the effectiveness of object detection when evaluating the functioning of video surveillance systems is proposed. The proposed indicator is expressed in the probability of detection of the object of interest by the i-th operator thanks to the person’s own visual apparatus or with the help of a software algorithm. This indicator differs from the existing ones by taking into account the parameters of the optical system, the parameters of the information display device (monitor), the number of video surveillance cameras, etc. The developed indicator makes it possible to estimate the probability of detection of an object by a video surveillance system operator thanks to a person's own visual apparatus or with the help of a software algorithm, depending on the distance to such an object.

Results. According to the results of experimental calculations, it has been proven that the effectiveness of the use of video surveillance systems with the use of video analytics functions (using the example of the dynamic object detection algorithm).

Conclusions. The conducted experimental calculations confirmed the efficiency of the proposed mathematical apparatus and allow us to recommend it for use in practice when solving problems of evaluating the effectiveness of the functioning of video surveillance systems.
Doctor Crucis. The Criteria for Conferral of the Title of Doctor of the Church and their Application to the Case of Edith Stein. Part I
Authors: Guerrero van der Meijden Jadwiga
Published: July 2023

Edith Stein is widely recognised as a saint, a martyr, a victim of the Holocaust and a female philosopher – but can she be a Doctor of the Church? So far, thirty-seven figures, including four women, carry the title due to their so-called ‘eminent doctrines’, eminentes doctrinae. For centuries, a procedural difficulty existed in awarding the titles to martyrs, however, in the second decade of the 21st century, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints reached a conclusion that martyrdom is not, in principle, an obstacle in awarding the title. A question, therefore, can be posed: does the legacy of someone among the Christian martyrs fulfill the criteria of the Church’s Doctorate?

The aim of this article is to investigate the criteria for conferral of the title of the Doctor of the Church, prime among which is a criterion called eminens doctrina, and apply them to one example, that of Edith Stein. In doing so, I consider the question purely historically and philosophically, starting out with definitions of the Father of the Church and the Doctor of the Church in part one (available below). In the second part of the article (available in 2024), I ask what aspects of the female martyr’s theology, philosophy and spirituality fulfill the criteria of an eminent doctrine, as formulated in the Church’s documents, and which are insufficient or lacking. In order to highlight the nature of a particular criterion, I contrast Stein’s case with other recently debated cases, such as those of Irenaeus of Lyons and John Paul II.
Sulla dimensione dialogica dell’autorità. About the Dialogical Dimension of Authority
Authors: Mizdrak Inga
Published: July 2023

The article deals with the problem of authority in the fundamental aspects of the philosophy of dialogue, which in the I-You relationship acquires a specific meaning. The dialogical plane emphasizes the tension between the subjects, showing the dynamics of the meeting as well as its specific movement and variability. The concept of Martin Buber and Józef Tischner was recalled, opening a new discourse on the fundamental role, meaning and sense of authority today. Buber says that the dialogue itself appears as relation of beings, while Tischner shows the meeting as an event in which the agathological horizon of good and evil is present, which in both concepts puts a new light on the problem of authority. Authority not only internally assumes turning “to” someone/ the Other, but also assumes being “for” someone/ the Other and towards someone/ the Other.
L’approccio pastorale dialogico alla luce del Sinodo. The Dialogical Pastoral Approach in the Light of the Synod
Authors: Kraner David
Published: July 2023

The study sheds light on the problem of communication in the Church and proposes a model of dialogical communication based on data analysis. It must be in harmony with the content of speculative theology, but at the same time it must meet the linguistic needs of the present time. Pope Francis, with the Synod, is channeling many changes in the right direction. Empirical analyses of media coverage of representations of the Catholic Church, provide further support for this theme. On the one hand, we have the press in Slovenia, which is saturated with news about the Church, and on the other hand, we have Radio and Television, which are undernourished. Often, the Church is presented along with celebrities, celebrations, politics and charity work. If we take into consideration the dialogical model of communication, these issues can be entry points for better and more qualitative communication.
Polish Catholic Press. A Bibliographical and Informational Review
Authors: Kristanova Evelina
Published: July 2023

The author’s intention was to recall the definition, genesis and development of the Polish Catholic press in various historical and political periods by reviewing the available literature on the subject. The emergence of Catholic-oriented periodicals in Poland dates back to the first half of the 19th century during the partitions, while significant development took place after the Second Polish Republic regained independence. The first years of the People’s Republic of Poland were characterised by illusory democratic freedoms, which is why new Catholic periodicals were established. An important turning point came in 1953, when almost all periodicals published by the Catholic Church were closed. Between 1953 and 1956, the editorship of Tygodnik Powszechny was taken over by the PAX Association, which collaborated with the Communist authorities, with the aim of dividing Catholic circles. During the political thaw, some titles were reinstated, although their content was still subject to strict censorship. The democratic changes of 1989 brought in the free market, which in turn became a financial challenge for Catholic editorial boards. Due to a lack of funds, the longstanding Przegląd Powszechny ceased its publications in 2012. The article is an informative and bibliographical review and shows the correlation between the development of the press and changing political conditions. The analysis results in a fragmentary study of the selected press segment.
The Relationship Between Pagan Fate and Christian Grace in the Thought of Józef Tischner
Authors: Wołowski Lech
Published: July 2023

This article examines one of the greatest contributions of Józef Tischner to the area of anthropology and charitology by analyzing, in a systematical way, his original thought regarding the relationship between the pagan concept of fate (fatum) and the Christian concept of grace (charis). The originality of this contribution concerns three main areas. The first one concerns the historical-charitological aspect in which Tischner proposes a new approach which helps him to emphasize the personalistic aspect of grace. Instead of considering the problem form a typical intra-Christian perspective, he approaches the concept of grace by confronting it with the historical, pagan concept of impersonal fate. Secondly, he brings to the light an ancient Greek idea of the aesthetic overcoming of the tragic defeat caused by fate, and by showing its insufficiency, he discovers and demonstrates the depth, beauty and hidden ultimate power of the aesthetic dimension of Christian grace. Finally, he argues that the problem of the relationship between fate and grace is not an issue of the ancient past, but constitutes the core of one of the greatest contemporary challenges faced by modern Christian society: the ever growing wave of neopaganism.
Optimism and Life Satisfaction of Poles during the Second and Fourth Waves of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Biel Krzysztof , Twardowska-Staszek Estera , Rostek Irmina
Published: July 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly has had a negative impact on human psychological wellbeing, as confirmed by numerous studies. Positive psychology identifies optimism and life satisfaction as important factors having to do with the psychological wellbeing of individuals. This article aims to diagnose the level of optimism and life satisfaction of Poles during the 2nd and 4th waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify predictors of optimistic life orientation and life satisfaction in terms of demographic variables. The study was conducted on a group of 1,095 people using the snowball method, via social media. The results confirm a reduction in the level of optimism and life satisfaction of Poles during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the research confirms that resources such as marriage, having children, good education and stable work enhance a person’s level of psychological wellbeing and become a guarantee for better coping during the pandemic.
Nearer, My God, to Thee. Elvis Presley and The Gospel in His Music, Life and Legacy
Authors: Fagiolo Maria
Published: July 2023

The roots that raised Elvis Presley to become the man that he is in history, are not found in rock’n’roll but they go much deeper. They are found in the Gospel, in what Joe Moscheo defined as “the Gospel side of Elvis”. This paper highlights the gospel music of Elvis Presley and its vast impact on American society and religion. One of the aims of this article is to underline the impact that sacred music had over Presley’s artistical work and how Elvis and his Southern spirituality influenced the history of Christian music. One more important aspect of this paper argues the worldwide role Presley had as an evangelist of the Gospel, and how he influenced Christian identity and its values among Americans. This paper tried to answer to Mark Duffet’s question: “If star musicians are positioned as centers of attention, what happens when they use their privileged position in the spotlight to offer a ‘spiritual’ message?”. As a result, this paper offers original contents of Elvis Presley’s faith and spirituality and is intended as a starting point for future studies. Surprisingly, few researchers have evaluated the effect the singer had on evangelization and gospel music development. Previous studies have mostly paid attention to the role that Elvis played on the Rock’n’Roll scene and the iconic legend created around him. They forget that the Gospel is a key part of Presley’s life and music.
If There is No Religion: L. Kołakowski’s Defence of the Sacred. Part 2 a polemic
Authors: Bochenek Krzysztof , Mordka Cezary , Stala Józef
Published: July 2023

The article is an argument with the main theses presented by L. Kołakowski in his vision of religion. The discussion, which considers the strengths of the Polish philosopher’s analyses, concerns the distinction between empiricism and transcendentalism, the epistemological status of empirical sciences and broadly understood naturalisms, as well as the question of metaphysical horror as understood by L. Kołakowski. The text analyses the anthropological argument and the specificity of religion with its personal trust, the specificity of human existence, the experience of the sacred-profane and the importance of religion for human existence. The conclusion presents a further perspective for the analysis of the phenomenon of religion.
Current Status and Issues of GVC in Korea’s Major industries: Focusing on the Electronics and Automobiles Industries
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Roh Jaeyoun , Ahn Soyoung
Published: July 2023

The recent GVC disconnection caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, COVID-19, US-China hegemony and technology competition requires strategic policy establishment and preparation at the national level as it goes beyond firm-level response capabilities. Since transactions under already established supply chains still account for a significant portion of trade in the perspective of firms, based on diagnosis and objective understanding of the current status, efforts are required to actively respond to changes in the global economic-security and industrial environment. Therefore, this study analyzes the current status of GVC, focusing on the electronics and automobile industries, which are the main industries that contribute the most to Korea's domestic value-added exports, and summarizes the implications related to GVC restructuring to respond to the changing trade environment.
This study uses ICIO (2021), the most up-to-date data as of 2023, to analyze the results of value-added export decomposition of Korea's main export industries, electronics and automobiles. In particular, the study is meaningful in that it links recent changes centered on the US-China in the macro policy environment (country-industry) to the implications of the microscopic aspect (industry-item).
A Study on the Development of Marketing Strategies to Strengthen K-Food’s Market Competitiveness in Indonesia: Focusing on the SWOT-AHP Method
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Lee Sangha
Published: July 2023

Recently, interest in K-Food has been increasing in Indonesia due to the Hallyu craze. In addition, Indonesia is emerging as an important overseas market for Korean food companies due to the continued growth of the food industry. Therefore, this study derived a marketing strategy to strengthen the market competitiveness of K-Food in Indonesia using the SWOT-AHP analysis method. As a result of deriving strategic priorities based on the importance of all factors, the most important strategy was the WO strategy. This strategy takes into account the lack of K-Food’s unique brand image(W4) and the high interest in Hallyu and K-Food(O1) at the same time. This strategy requires a way to actively utilize K-Food’s market opportunities triggered by high interest in the Hallyu and to provide pride and fun to consumers who want to enjoy the unique taste and cultural value of K-Food. This study is expected to help prepare marketing strategies to strengthen K-Food’s competitiveness in the Indonesian market and improve the performance of Korean food companies. In addition, it is expected to contribute to the spread of international marketing research related to the strengthening of K-Food’s competitiveness in the Indonesian market.
An Empirical Study on the Determinants of Environmental Cooperation and Firm Performance of Chinese Manufacturing Exporters
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, CHEN Qingyun , CHO Hyuksoo , SHI Qianyun
Published: July 2023

The growing environmental concerns have put pressure on companies to adopt eco-friendly strategies and activities throughout their global supply chains. As a result, establishing environmental cooperation among companies has become essential for enhancing competitiveness and performance. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the factors driving environmental cooperation and firm performance among Chinese manufacturing exporters. Furthermore, we investigate how relationship characteristics such as reliability and commitment moderate the link between environmental cooperation and firm performance. The empirical findings reveal that absorptive capacity and environmental orientation have a positive impact on environmental cooperation, while trust and regulatory factors significantly influence it. Additionally, a higher level of environmental cooperation has a positive effect on both environmental performance and export performance. These results suggest that promoting higher levels of environmental cooperation among companies in the supply chain can be an effective strategy for improving corporate performance. Moreover, the level of commitment positively moderates the impact of environmental cooperation on firm performance.
In Search of Individual and Social Sense
Authors: Kowacki K.
Published: July 2023

Purpose. The author of this article aims to present and analyze the views of Józef Maria Bocheński concerning the issue of the question of life’s sense based on the text "Sens życia i inne eseje". From the philosopher’s reflections under the theme of the impossibility of life’s sense in the case of community, the author analyzes Ukrainian society and tries to find an answer to the question, can the human community’s sense exist? Among the tasks are the following: to apply the views of Barry and Janae Weinhold and the polyvagal theory of Stephen Porges; to express reflections on individual and social sense; indicate the potential reasons for the failure in searching for the Ukrainian national idea before Russia’s attack on Ukraine in February 2022, as well as identify general trends in the development of the Ukrainian idea as a result of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Theoretical basis. The methodological basis of the investigation is an analysis, synthesis, generalization, and analogy. Given the interdisciplinary approach, historical and psychological methods were used. It is noted that the most important feature of any group is interaction, which unites a number of other features into a single whole. Exactly the lack of interaction in Ukraine that necessitated the search for a national idea. After a full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022, there is a huge possibility to work through Ukrainian traumas, create a common identity, without an artificial division into West and East, and rebuild the state. Originality. The paper combines philosophical reflections and the latest psychological developments; in their application, firstly, in the universal plane, which applies to every person, and secondly, in relation to the Ukrainian, due to its history and politics. Conclusions. It has been argued that the search for the authentic sense of life occurs when a person has reworked their traumas and attained a stable state of mental health, when subconscious factors do not control a person. By analogy, the thesis is put forward that Ukrainian society must undergo psychotherapy, to overcome its historical, and military traumas. As a result of the brutal war, rapid integration processes are possible, the whole Ukrainian society is aware of the need to switch exclusively to the Ukrainian language and rethink Ukrainian identity and statehood, build a new historical narrative on the heroic attitude of Ukrainian society, new Ukrainian heroes, dead and alive. It is possible to use the Russian attack as a unifying factor for all Ukrainians, creating a sense of community, creating a modern image of Ukraine in the international arena as a defender of democratic rights, Europe, rethinking its history and in particular Ukrainian-Russian and Ukrainian-Polish relations; indicate the need to process new traumatic experiences.
The Man of Science as an Intellectual: The Public Mission of Scientist
Authors: Kubalskyi O. N.
Published: July 2023

Purpose. The paper is aimed at identifying the ways of scientist’s influence on the development of modern society as compared to those of intellectuals. Theoretical basis. The socio-anthropological approach to the role of scientists in post-industrial society shows the leading role of people of science as a social group in present-day society. However, philosophical axiology reveals that scientists in today’s society do not have the appropriate social status: neither in state governance nor in the sphere of forming public opinion. The classical doctrine concerning intellectuals has suffered a crisis in recent decades, which is due to the growing gap between the group of intellectuals recognized by society and the sphere of science. A new theoretical approach to determining the role of present-day research scientists as intellectuals is necessary. Originality. Successful development of modern society in conditions of growing social turbulence necessitates the access of research scientists to the sphere of public communication. This is required both by the needs of science advancement itself – to receive its adequate funding and win wide public recognition, and by society’s needs – as it is scientists who can provide reliable diagnostics of social problems and formulate well-grounded programs for overcoming them. Conclusions. For overcoming social barriers and getting access to public space, scientists themselves have to recognize themselves as a destitute social group – those who are unfairly deprived of making principal decisions in today’s society. For that, scientists should become modern intellectuals. Unlike media intellectuals, scientists are to interact not with social masses but, first and foremost, with public elites. The scientist has to gain his/her independent status by achieving the recognition of his/her own ideas among social elites rather than by winning wide personal popularity. Hence, scientists must aim at obtaining the status of the elite for elites – this would reveal in scientists the deepest potential of a modern man.
Utilitas publica z perspektywy prawa rzymskiego i polskiego
Authors:   SWPS w Warszawie, Sitek Bronisław
Published: July 2023

The concept of „public utility”, used in contemporary language of the law and juridical language, was also used in Roman law as utilitas publica. This concept allows to separate the public sphere from the private sector. However, the boundary between sphere of public sphere and private sector have not always been blurred since ancient times. In ancient Rome, the boundary between what was public and what was private was changing and depended on a type of political system, an understanding of the public good or the boundaries of individual’s autonomy. In contemporary times there is also a debate over how far should the powers of the State reach. There is even a discussion about the redefinition of the State, and even about the need for withdrawing the State from the areas of activities traditionally belonging to its empire. It is assumed that the public utility is a service as well as leading production used to meet the needs of all people in a continuous manner. It is not required, that this availability is truly enjoyed by all.
„Przepisy techniczne” w systemie prawa polskiego

The term “technical regulations” was developed in Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, and it comes down to the obligation to provide information concerning products and rules of the information society. The reason behind said solutions was to lead to unification on the Union internal market. Failure to fulfil the obligation of notification triggers serious consequences in legal transactions. From the point of view of the European Court of Justice, national judge, who is primarily a Union judge, may not use non-notified norms. In this respect there appeared discrepancies in judicial decisions of the Supreme Court, where some adjudicating panels held that in cases in which non-notified technical regulations were used it was necessary to ask the Constitutional Tribunal whether these norms were in force. However, the European Court of Justice clearly indicated that the scopes of cognition of the European Court of Justice and national constitutional tribunals do not coincide. The Court pointed out that failure to use a non-notified technical norm is not.

Published: July 2023

The problem of the opportunity to place advertisement in mass media has been analysed both by Polish courts and the European Court of Human Rights only with regard to the content of said advertisement and its reference to current legal advertising bans. However, there occurred a significant problem not only from the point of view of the freedom of press, but also civil liberties, namely that of presenting advertisement undesired by newspaper editors. Cases tried by Polish courts, one being subject to analysis of the European Court of Human Rights, prove that within the scope of placing advertisement the voice of publishers and editors is decisive. Any citizen referring to the freedom of speech stands no chance that the content of advertisement presented by them will be published. Free press is to be free to choose advertisement, and what’s crucial here is the economic freedom of contract. tantamount to conceding that this norm ceases to exist, but only affirms that it cannot be applied.

An increasing number of children born from in vitro fertilization raises some questions: do children born from in vitro fertilization have the right to know their origins ? The answer may be run from the viewpoint of the child or from the parents. This problem is a really controversial issue: some people think that the right to know genetic origins is a fundamental human right, what’s more it is in the best interest of the child. On the other hand, others think that parents have the right to be anonymous. In the light of above worthy of particular attention is the position of judicial interpretation.
Rumen fermentation of feed samples incubated in filter bags made from different textiles or dispersed in the medium using an in vitro gas production system
Authors: García Eduardo Hernández , Pérez Atmir Romero , Corona Luis , Gómez José Moisés Talamates
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT: The effect of different feed substrates incubated in filter bags [no bag (NB); Ankom® F57, 25 μm pore size (25AN); polyester, 45 μm pore size (45PB); polyester, 67 μm pore size (67PB) ] or dispersed in the medium on gas production, digestion and rumen fermentation was evaluated using an in vitro gas production system. Filter bags reduced (P < 0.01) gas production but increased (P < 0.01) the in vitro dry matter digestibility (45PB and 67PB). Additionally, the use of filter bags with smaller pore size, reduced total volatile fatty acid (P < 0.01), but had minimal effects on acetate, propionate, and butyrate concentration. Our research suggested that using filter bags with a pore size of 67 µ would reduce some negative effects of incubating feed substrate dispersed in the medium or in filter bags with smaller pore size. However, the use of bags with a larger pore size might allow the wash out of small feed particles with consequent overestimation of digestibility.
Edible coatings with avocado oil on the quality of ‘Tommy Atkins’ mangoes
Authors: Sarria Saúl Dussán , Zapata José Igor Hleap , Bermúdez Armando Alvis
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT One of the main, most effective and economical techniques used in the preservation of fresh fruits is the edible coatings. We applied 0.53% and 2.52% avocado oil coatings to ‘Tommy Atkins’ mangoes at ripening stage 2. The treatment control comprised uncoated mangoes. The fruits were stored at 15 °C ±2°C and 80% ±5% relative humidity (RH) and at ambient conditions of 26 °C ±2°C and 75% ±5% RH for 24 days. Several physicochemical parameters (pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, firmness, and weight loss), color-related characteristics, and microbiological and sensory characteristics were periodically analyzed. The results indicated that the combined effect of 2.52% avocado oil coating and refrigerated storage at 15 °C ±2°C and 80% ±5% RH led to a decrease in water loss (by 20%) at the end of the storage period, delayed mango senescence, inhibited microbial growth (indicated by the absence of molds and Escherichia coli), and did not influence sensory attributes of the fruit. Thus, avocado oil coating might be used to preserve the fruit for up to 24 days.

ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis and Parvovirus B19 infection present silent and gradual evolution, since the former is a degenerative process while the latter is often asymptomatic and may persist in the individual’s body during their life. This study aims to analyze clinical studies that establish a correlation between degenerative osteoarthritis and Parvovirus B19 infection. Of the 62 studies found, 25 were chosen for reading in full. Analyzing only the studies that establish the correlation between the pathologies, seven confirm this relationship between Parvovirus B19 and Osteoarthritis, while one reports no relationship. No objective correlation could be found between the other articles studied. Our findings suggest that there is a close relationship between Parvovirus B19 and Osteoarthritis, with a higher prevalence of acquired causes, women and older adults, but it can manifest during life. However, it is essential to carry out new studies involving family history of patients with Osteoarthritis with positivity of Parvovirus B19, cohort studies between childhood and adult-old adult, so that it can elucidate this duality of congenital-acquired cause and, finally, raise treatment alternatives.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate children and adolescents with polytrauma and fractures of the pelvis and proximal and diaphyseal femur and correlate the impact of these conditions and clinical outcomes. Methods: Retrospective study carried out in a public hospital in Taboão da Serra (SP), with pediatric patients with polytrauma from January 2012 to December 2021. In total, 44 patients were evaluated, 70.44% boys and 29.55% girls, aged from 12 to 17 years. Results: Diaphyseal fracture of the femur affected 70.44% of the patients, mainly caused by a fall from a height (56.81%). Linear external fixation was the most used treatment (45.45%). All patients were discharged from hospital. Conclusion: We found essential sociodemographic information: 84.11% of patients did not have associated injuries; 88.63% were hospitalized from 3 to 11 days; 90.91% did not need to be admitted to an ICU, 77.27% did not need reoperation, and 22.73% underwent another surgery; 45.45% used the external fixator to stabilize injuries; 11.36% converted the external fixator to the intramedullary nail; 9.09% needed an intramedullary nail remover; 2.27% converted to a plate (bilateral) and 2.27% to a rigid nail; 2.27% had loss of reduction and revision with rod; 2.27% underwent corrective osteotomy; 2.27% had clinical hospitalization; 2.27% had osteonecrosis of the femoral head and screws removed; 2.27% removed the plate.

Abstract Introduction Physical performance tests (PPTs) are screening tools widely available, easy to apply, and that can be performed in different environments and contexts. Scapular dyskinesis can be related to changes in glenohumeral angulation, acromioclavicular joint strain, subacromial space dimension, shoulder muscle strength/activation and humeral position/motion. Few studies were developed to understand the influence of aspects such as strength, stability mobility, and scapular dyskinesis on the scores of the upper extremity PPTs. Objective To compare the performance in the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), Seated Medicine Ball Throw Test (SMBT) and Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (UQYBT) between asymptomatic adults with and without scapular dyskinesis. Methods Cross-sectional study with 20 asymptomatic individuals: 10 with scapular dyskinesis and 10 without scapular dyskinesis. The average number of touches, number of touches normalized by height, and power score in the CKCUEST, distance covered by the ball in the SMBT, reach in the medial, inferolateral, and superolateral directions, total excursion and composite score of the UQYBT were compared between both groups. Results No significant differences were found for all variables (p > 0.05). Small to moderate effect sizes were found for the scores of the CKCUEST (d = 0.16-0.78), a small effect size was found for the distance in the SBMT (d = 0.12), and small to moderate effect sizes were found for the scores of the UQYBT (d = 0.02-0.43). The scapular dyskinesis group presented better performance in all tests. Conclusion The presence of scapular dyskinesis in asymptomatic individuals is not a factor related to worse scores in upper extremity physical performance tests.
Equivalence in Argumentation Frameworks with a Claim-centric View: Classical Results with Novel Ingredients
Authors: Baumann Ringo , Rapberger Anna , Ulbricht Markus
Published: July 2023

A common feature of non-monotonic logics is that the classical notion of equivalence does not preserve the intended meaning in light of additional information. Consequently, the term strong equivalence was coined in the literature and thoroughly investigated. In the present paper, the knowledge representation formalism under consideration is claimaugmented argumentation frameworks (CAFs) which provide a formal basis to analyze conclusion-oriented problems in argumentation by adapting a claim-focused perspective. CAFs extend Dung AFs by associating a claim to each argument representing its conclusion. In this paper, we investigate both ordinary and strong equivalence in CAFs. Thereby, we take the fact into account that one might either be interested in the actual arguments or their claims only. The former point of view naturally yields an extension of strong equivalence for AFs to the claim-based setting while the latter gives rise to a novel equivalence notion which is genuine for CAFs. We tailor, examine and compare these notions and obtain a comprehensive study of this matter for CAFs. We conclude by investigating the computational complexity of naturally arising decision problems.
Acute haematogenous osteomyelitis in the paediatric population: a current concepts review
Authors: Thiart M , Nansook A
Published: July 2023

Acute haematogenous osteomyelitis (AHOM) is a bacterial infection localised in bone that usually occurs after an episode of bacteraemia. This infection is commonly encountered by doctors in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and, if not recognised early and managed appropriately, can harbour significant early and late complications, including death. This narrative review aims to summarise the current management of AHOM, highlight the controversies and report on new advances in diagnosis and treatment. AHOM is typically a monomicrobial disease. Staphylococcus aureus remains the most common pathogen globally, accounting for 70-90% of all cases. Diagnostic work-up includes complete blood cell count, serum C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, imaging and blood culture. Management of AHOM includes empiric intravenous (IV) antibiotics based on the most likely causative agents; source control entailing surgery to drain any abscesses and obtain specimens for microscopy, culture and sensitivity (MCS), as well as debridement of any necrotic bone; and subsequent targeted antibiotic therapy effective against the identified pathogen with the narrowest spectrum. Treatment response is monitored with repeat CRP every 48-72 hours. The decision to switch from IV to oral antibiotics is made if there is clinical improvement and the CRP is < 20 mg/L. The total duration of antibiotics is six weeks. Treatment of paediatric AHOM is multidisciplinary and includes orthopaedic surgeons, paediatricians, infectious diseases specialists, physiotherapists, dieticians, nurses and social workers. AHOM can cause devastating destruction of the bone due to tissue necrosis, leading to late sequelae. These complications are more common in children in LMICs. Level of evidence: Level 5
An Android Application-based Surface Oust Classifier

Published: July 2023

Surface dust can be a source carrier of viruses, bacteria and air pollution which entail common health issues such as asthma attacks, chest tightness, wheezing and difficulty in breathing. Visually perceived, cleanliness is one measure of indoor air quality and is the subjective assessment of cleaning quality. The aim of this work is to use pattern recognition mediated through a mobile application to analyse and classify dust in households, in order to obtain useful information about the dust sources for the selection of appropriate countermeasures in view to improve air quality and better manage the cleaning of indoor surfaces. The dust type categorization in this work are pollen, rock and ash. This paper also explores the concept of transfer learning techniques and adopts it for small particle classification using CNN models by developing a surface dust application for android smartphones. The behaviour of InceptionV2, InceptionV3, ResNetV2, MobileNetV2 and MobileNetV3 as dust feature extractors were analysed based on their accuracy, precision, recall and Fl-Scoreperformance metrics. Results show that MobileNetV3 model is best suited as a dust feature extractor and rapid dust prediction with an accuracy of up to 92% and low-size storage of only 30 megabytes. Additional Keywords: Android; Classification; Transfer Learning; Smartphone; Surface dust.
Theological Language in Crisis? The Importance of Trauma Hermeneutics for Exploring Gendered Metaphors for God in the Book of Jeremiah
Authors: Claassens L. Juliana
Published: July 2023

In this article that explores male and female metaphors for God in the Hebrew Bible, I argue with specific reference to the book of Jeremiah that the intersection of trauma and gender is particularly important in considering how tumultuous times inevitably impact the way people spoke and continue to speak about God. In this regard, recent developments in terms of gender theory including queer biblical interpretation and masculinity studies help us to engage critically with the gendered metaphors used for God in the Hebrew Bible. For instance, it will be shown how important it is to trouble binary constructions, i.e., in terms of male metaphors for God, to break the cycle of toxic masculinity that leads to further violence in an endless cycle of humiliation, shame and retaliation. And also, to, when it comes to female metaphors for God, move beyond a romanticised understanding of motherhood that is rooted in a prescriptive, essentialising understanding of gender.
Rereading Isaiah's Vision (Isa 6) through the Lens of Generational Imprinted Trauma and Resilience
Authors: Esterhuizen Elizabeth , Groenewald Alphonso
Published: July 2023

In this contribution, the focus will be on the text of Isa 6:1-13 from the perspective of a generational imprinted trauma1 and resilience. This interdisciplinary approach renders a new conversation on Isaiah's vision, not only giving scope to the ensuing traumatic events but also ascertaining hope and resilience that are embedded within the corpus of the chapter. These traumatic events and the possibility of hope expose the vulnerability2 of the prophet and the people of Judah within the complexity of the text. The aim of the contribution is to give an understanding of trauma, collective trauma and the possibility of hope as experienced within the prophet's commission and vision as well as to investigate the impact that collective trauma has on the people. Thus, this article belongs in the domain of the literary and theological interpretation of the book of Isaiah and contributes towards the history of development of the book. The contribution will further aim to give an exegetical explanation of the structure of Isa 6 thereby giving a greater theological understanding of the text when using a lens of trauma and resilience.
"Ascribe Power to God, Whose Majesty Is over Israel, and Whose Power Is in the Skies" (Ps 68:35): The Theological Intent of Pss 65-68 and Their Connections with the Prologue to the Psalter (Pss 1-2)
Authors: Botha Phil J.
Published: July 2023

Psalms 65-68 constitute an editorially arranged and adapted cluster of psalms expressing universal praise and thanksgiving near the end of Book II of the Psalms. The article describes the theological purpose of the four psalms. There is a strong emphasis on God's presence in the temple in Zion as a source of blessing for his elected people, the cosmos he created and all humanity. Through his magnificent involvement in creation and the history of his people, his fame as creator, righteous judge, and supreme ruler of the world will spread to the ends of the earth. By linking the cluster through keywords with Pss 1-2, the editors demonstrated how God's benevolent and just involvement with his people would lead to his being universally recognised as the only God.
The Cushites in Herodotus and Chronicles: Revisiting the Asa Narrative
Authors: Jonker Louis C.
Published: July 2023

The theme of "the Cushites " has been investigated in Chronicles by various scholars. The Cushites are mentioned in passing in various passages of the book, but more prominently in the first part of the Asa narrative (2 Chron 14-16). Herodotus has also given attention to them in Book III of his Histories. These ancient discussions of the Cushites are brought into interaction in this article. However, not only the different ways in which these historiographies use the Cushites as rhetorical trope, but also the issue of classical Greek influence on Yehudean literary development form the focus of this article.
