»Jak funguje teatr a film«, czyli obecność języka czeskiego w mowie »po naszymu« Polaków na Zaolziu
Authors: Bogoczová Irena , Bortliczek Małgorzata
Published: August 2023

Artykuł »Jak funguje teatr a film«, czyli obecność języka czeskiego w mowie »po naszymu« Polaków na Zaolziu powstał na podstawie badań socjolingwistycznych sytuacji językowej na Zaolziu. Badania te prowadzą autorki w wieloetnicznym, wielojęzycznym oraz kulturowo zróżnicowanym środowisku czeskiego śląska Cieszyńskiego od lat. Zamieszkująca te tereny mniejszość polska korzysta m.in. z sieci szkół z polskim językiem nauczania. Biegle mówi i pisze także po czesku, a na co dzień uczestniczy w czeskojęzycznych sytuacjach komunikacyjnych. Poza tym w rozmowach nieoficjalnych (niepublicznych) używa gwary cieszyńskiej, należącej do polskiego języka etnicznego. W wyniku tych zachowań mownych na Zaolziu wykreował się specyficzny kod mieszany zwany „po naszymu”, który – w odróżnieniu od tradycyjnej gwary – nie posiada ustabilizowanej normy systemowej, lecz dynamicznie reaguje na zmiany realiów i potrzeb komunikacyjnych miejscowej ludności.
Nazwy lokali serwujących kawę w małych polskich i czeskich miastach
Authors: Fałowski Przemysław
Published: August 2023

Artykuł stanowi próbę porównania nazw czeskich i polskich kawiarni oraz cukierni znajdujących się w miastach liczących od 10 000 do 20 000 mieszkańców. W pierwszej kolejności zestawione zostają polskie określenia kawiarnia i cukiernia oraz czeskie kavárna i cukrárna pod kątem ich pojemności semantycznej. Główna część analizy obejmuje 180 czeskich i polskich urbochrematonimów badanych pod względem ich struktury, motywacji onomastycznej oraz promowanych w nazwach wartości, m.in. z wykorzystaniem wcześniejszych publikacji autorstwa Patrika Mittera, Zuzany Hlubinkovej, Adama Siwca czy Artura Gałkowskiego. Analiza wykazuje m.in. liczne podobieństwa w nazewnictwie czeskich i polskich lokali serwujących kawę, a także wpływ urbochrematonimów obecnych w dużych miastach na mniejsze ośrodki miejskie.

Limited capital: a genealogy of culturelessness in (language) teacher education
Authors: Austin Tasha
Published: August 2023

Black youth as ‘struggling students’ is a persistent narrative in the contemporary U.S. psyche, both preceded by and markedly displayed through the 1983 report, A Nation at Risk, which reflected coded language encouraging a return to the pre-Civil Rights United States. This framing positioned Black students as culprits for the ills of U.S. schooling – a continuation of a history of educational policy that discursively enforces the need to defend society against ‘subhuman’ populations. Placing the 1983 policy report in conversation with Zwiers’ Building Academic Language: Meeting Common Core Standards Across Disciplines (2013) via raciolinguistic genealogy, I problematize the ways in which texts like these reinforce discourses of Black cultures and languages as subhuman, deviant threats to U.S. society.
Anticipating the Consequences of Filibuster Reforms
Authors: Fong Christian
Published: August 2023

Reformers have offered many proposals for changing the Senate filibuster, ranging from modest adjustments to outright abolition. I draw on formal models of obstruction in legislatures to analyze the consequences of three such proposals: creating an opportunity to close debate with a simple majority vote after a sufficiently long floor debate, making it more onerous for the minority to sustain filibusters, and outright abolishing the filibuster. In each of these cases, the models offer a more complete understanding of the effects of these proposals.
Fine-tuning the circadian system with light treatment for Parkinson’s disease: an in-depth, critical review
Authors: Willis Gregory L. , Armstrong Stuart M.
Published: August 2023

Late in the twentieth century, interest intensified regarding the involvement of the circadian system in the aetiology and treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). It has been envisaged that this approach might provide relief beyond the limited benefits and severe side effects achieved by dopamine (DA) replacement. In the first clinical article, published in 1996, polychromatic light was used to shift the circadian clock as it is considered to be the most powerful zeitgeber (time keeper) that can be implemented to realign circadian phase. Since that time, 11 additional articles have implemented light treatment (LT) in various forms as an adjuvant to DA replacement. In spite of the growing interest in this area, the systematic exploration of LT in PD has been stymied by several methodological factors. Such factors include time of LT presentation, duration of studies undertaken, frequency of light employed, dose of light prescribed and relevance of experimental design to the prolonged course of the illness. On this basis, it is the purpose of this review to provide an in-depth examination of these papers, and the underlying preclinical work, to provide critique, thereby giving direction for future studies in therapeutic applications of LT for PD. Consideration of this collective work may serve to carve a path for future research and thereby improve the lives of those suffering from this debilitating disorder.
Közjogi elemek a Kálmán korabeli jogforrásokban
Authors: László Balázs
Published: August 2023

The royal regulations protecting the interests of the Christian church and property are usually considered to represent the legal significance of the Kálmán era. However, the contemporary decrees, privileges (letters patent) and other written documents – all of which is a kind of sources of law – also describe some of the basic institutions of the state and public law. We can find regulations and descriptions concerning legislation, administration, judicial power, fiscal policy, church administration, warlordism and diplomatics. Most of these regulations can be related to the royalty, the royal rights and prerogatives representing the fundamental role of the monarch in the state. On the other hand, they also represent the appearance and development of other elements of the operating state.
Kelsen és Monstequieu között
Authors: Olechowski Thomas
Published: August 2023

This paper is the written version of the Ordinary Professorial Inaugural Lecture „Zwischen Kelsen und Montesquieu. Gewaltenteilung und Demokratie im 21. Jahrhundert” delivered at the University of Vienna on 27 March 2023.  In his writings on democracy, Hans Kelsen initially rejected Montesquieu’s concept of the separation of powers and later only hesitantly recognised it. In fact, however, in the democracy of the 21st century, both the rule of the majority and the separation of powers are indispensable to guarantee the freedom of the individual. Both elements, however, are facing new challenges and threats that need to be recognised.
Polner Ödön ismeretlen előadása az 1848. évi áprilisi törvényekről
Authors: Schweitzer Gábor , Szente Zoltán
Published: August 2023

Professor Ödön Polner (1865-1961) was one of the outstanding scholars of Hungarian public law. His legacy includes the manuscript of a lecture he gave in 1948, in which he reviewed the basic laws adopted in the first phase of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Within the framework of the historical constitution, these laws laid the foundations of nationalism and bourgeois constitutionalism in Hungary in the middle of the 19th century.  Below, after a short description of Polner’s professional career and some introductory remarks, we publish the text of the lecture given in 1948.
„A Kúria méltósága”
Authors: Tímár Balázs
Published: August 2023

In the hallway of the Hungarian Supreme Court’s temporary building there are portraits of the previous presidents of the Court. For decades, Jenő Szemák’s portrait was absent due to his role during the end of World War II and mostly because of the fact that he was a prominent figure in the Arrow Cross Regime. By this year his portrait was hung there with additional notes. This action brought up the question of Szemák’s actual role and the determination of the Arrow Cross Movement. The main question is the independence and relevance of the Supreme Court during the darkest months of Hungary’s history. Between 1918 and 1945 two radical course took power in Hungary thus the article brings up comparisons of them since their point of view of the courts was different.
Megkeresztelt gazdaság: a középkori angol céhek vallási aspektusai
Authors: Cseri Máté
Published: August 2023

This paper focuses on medieval English guilds, especially craft guilds. Christianity was the unquestionable spiritual force behind the results of the Middle Ages – and talking about these scientific, cultural, religious achievements one cannot omit the role of guilds. Besides their significant economic activities, their main goal was the salvation of souls and to avoid purgatory.
Az angolszász házassági jog a törzsi szokásjogok alapján
Authors: Rózsa Csongor Ernő
Published: August 2023

According to Sir Maitland and Sir Pollock, the „Anglo-Saxon law is not only archaic, but offers an especially pure type of Germanic archaism”. This means that the Old-English law is free from any Roman or Christian element, thus it is inherenlty different among other Germanic customary laws. The law codes (in Old-English they are called domas) are written in their own language, unlike other Germanic tribes who wrote in Latin. Altough the Roman and Christian elements will appear in the Isle when Aethelberht changes religion, the impacts are minimal. In other words: those who want to come to know the closest one of the Germanic customary laws to the original, they should pay attention to the „lost child” of the Leges Barbarorum: the Leges Anglo-Saxonum. In my essay the questions are simple: what characterizes the legal status of a married woman and a widow? Is she an object or a person? What happens with her and her property after the death of her husband? There are answers, but they are comlicated. The provisions are obscure and are difficult to understand because their language is archaic, and the researchers are subjective to the point where we no longer knows the truth. This way there is no end of the presumptions and guesses, the literature is often contravene with itself, thus it is necessary to take a commitment in some questions. Still I think there is some kind of an objective reality I found: a woman is not less than a living person but sadly she cannot be totally equivalent with men (and her husband).
Remembering Cold Days
Authors: Klimó Árpád von
Published: August 2023

“Remembering Cold Days” is a book on the changing meanings of the 1942 massacre of Novi Sad. It answers questions about what we know and do not know about this specific war crime today and, most of all, how different individuals and communities have been remembering and interpreting the events since 1942. It also focuses on the changing international context – the massacre was one of hundreds of similar war crimes that marked World War II as one of the worst conflicts for civilians – and the various political regimes which altered the framework for these memories and interpretations. It further looks at a series of trials related to the massacre and the public debates in Hungary, Yugoslavia and elsewhere instigated by a popular novel and film since the mid-1960s. Finally, it analyzes how the end of communism in 1989 and the Yugoslavian wars of the 1990s changed the perspectives on the perpetrators and victims of 1942.
Psy Fever/Psycho-Boom: The Mental Picture of a Transforming China
Authors: Mengzhu An
Published: August 2023

Since the beginning of the 21st century, there is a boom of popular participation in psychotherapy and training in urban China, which has attracted the attention of anthropologists who called this phenomenon a “psycho-boom” or “psy fever.” This article is a review of anthropological studies on this issue and discusses how psychotherapeutic knowledge and practice with western origin has been indigenized by Chinese psychotherapists as well as the emergence of a new form of self in this psycho-boom. Critical anthropologists tend to emphasize the connection between this psy fever and governmentality. This article shows the insights and blind spots of this perspective, calling for attention to the heterogeneity and agency of participants in this psy fever as well as the potentiality of psychotherapy as both expression and intervention for sufferings in the context of drastic social transformation.
Dance Creation and Analysis under the Perspective of LBMS: Using Glowing Ocean as an Example
Authors: Liu Shaobo
Published: August 2023

This article analyzes the creative process of a ballroom dance duet piece titled Glowing Ocean using the perspective of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS). The article examines the creative background of Glowing Ocean and clarifies the creative intention of the work. Furthermore, it attempts to express the musical and emotional atmosphere of the piece and attempts to translate this into an aesthetic image. While describing what cannot be expressed with words in dance, this article analyzes how dance conveys meaning through metaphors. This article tries to name the qualities of that which are hard to describe, and this contributes to the meaning and value of this paper.
What Flows Underneath the Disease
Authors: Di Bonaventura Iolanda
Published: August 2023

This article aims to explore the potential of dance/movement therapy (DMT) and creativity in supporting patients with chronic pelvic pain. It investigates the impact of a non-judgmental environment on the development of coping and self-compassion strategies; the potential of using DMT’s tools and art in general to explore, in a safe and creative container, one’s relationship with the disease and the meaning it has taken on in one’s personal history and the rediscovery of one’s psycho-bodily resources to listen to and actively dialogue with one’s pain. This article is based on a study conducted in two therapeutic groups of four women each. As the project was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, the meetings were conducted online and lasted approximately 2 years.
Israeli Teachers and Expressive Therapists Understanding of Selective Mutism
Authors: Hanan Tal
Published: August 2023

Selective mutism (SM) is a disorder originating in anxiety in which a child between the ages of 3 and 5 years does not speak at school but speaks at home. This study used art-based research with phenomenological qualitative inquiry to understand the perspectives of professionals in the Israeli school system who work with children diagnosed with SM. The researcher facilitated a professional workshop for 13 participants to broaden their knowledge and investigate their opinions. They learned about the disorder and created artwork illustrating their feelings about working with these children. Outcomes showed that participants felt isolated and alone, and the group setting held a space for them to better understand how to work with children with SM.
COVID-19 pneumonia; predictors of severity and outcome in Erbil city hospitals
Authors: Fathulla Ahmed Halgurd , Hussein Zahir
Published: August 2023

Background and objective: Corona infections disease nowadays is one of the major burden on national health institutes. The aim of the study is to identify the parameters that can predict the mortality in moderate to severely ill COVID-19 infected patients. Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was carried out in Erbil Hospitals, Kurdistan region/Iraq from December 2020 to December 2021 on a sample of 100patients with positive real-time polymerase chain reaction. The data of enrolled patients were collected by direct interview with patients or with their relatives and filled in a prepared questionnaire. The patients were followed up from their admission to hospital until their discharge alive or dead. Results: The mortality rate of hospitalized patients was 44% for 100 patients. Budesonide nebulizer were given to all of the patients. The mortality rate was significantly higher in old COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 patients presented with dyspnea, hypertension and renal failure were significantly associated with higher mortality rates. High respiratory rate, low oxygen saturation and high C-reactive protein level were accompanied with higher mortality rates of COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: The early predictors of mortality in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 infection were elderly age, clinical presentation of dyspnea, clinical co-morbidity with hypertension and renal failure, high respiratory rate, low oxygen saturation and elevated levels of C-reactive protein.
Combined effects of antibiotics and acidified nitrite on biofilm formation by beta-lactamase-producing uropathogenic bacteria
Authors: Yousif Hassan Hozan , Hanna Aka Safaa , Najmaddin Hamad Aras , Jalal Balaky Salah
Published: August 2023

Background and objective: The increased prevalence of extended- spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae has increased the use of last-resort antimicrobial drugs like Carbapenems. An alternative idea is to use new combinations of common antibiotics. The aim of the present study is to examine whether acidified nitrite has the ability to enhance the activity of beta-lactam antibiotics against the biofilm formation and bacterial growth of beta-lactamase- producing uropathogenic isolates. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 37 beta-lactamase- producing uropathogens were collected from patients at Urology Department at Rizgary Teaching Hospital in Erbil/Iraq. Biofilm formation was determined using a 96-well tissue culture plate assay. The ability to produce beta-lactamase production was detected by a phenotypic confirmatory combination disk diffusion test. The sub-minimal inhibitory concentration of antibiotics alone and in combination with each of acidified nitrite, ascorbic acid and sodium nitrite towards biofilm formation were observed. Results: The combination of cefotaxime with each of acidified nitrite (P <0.001), ascorbic acid (P <0.001) and sodium nitrite (P = 0.003) significantly enhanced the effect of cefotaxime against the biofilm producing activity of beta-lactamase producing uropathogens. Furthermore, with ceftazidime identical synergistic results were obtained with ascorbic acid (P = 0.001) and acidified nitrite (P = 0.007). Conclusion: Acidified nitrite significantly improved the activity of beta-lactam antibiotics against the biofilm mass of beta-lactamase producing uropathogens.
Evaluation of galectin-3 and other biochemical parameters in chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis in Erbil city
Authors: M. Abdullah Zereen , Y. Mohammadamin Kamaran
Published: August 2023

Background and objective: Chronic kidney disease represents a leading cause of death in many countries. End-stage renal disease is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, in which the kidneys are no longer function well enough for the patient to live without renal replacement therapy. Galectin-3 is a soluble beta-galactoside-binding lectin protein involved in the fibrosis of many solid organs, including the heart and kidney. This study aimed to evaluate galectin-3 and other biochemical parameters in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The design is a cross-sectional study with a comparison group. A total of 70 chronic kidney disease patients on regular hemodialysis from Erbil Dialysis Center in Erbil City and 68 healthy subjects were enrolled. The serum levels of galectin-3 were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Results: The mean level of serum galectin-3 was non-significantly higher in hemodialysis patients compared to the control group (P = 0.594). However, the serum level of galectin-3 was significantly higher in hemodialysis patients with cardiovascular disease compared to hemodialysis patients without cardiovascular disease (P = 0.0220). Serum galectin-3 level was significantly higher in hemodialysis patients aged 36-50 and 51-70 years old compared to hemodialysis patients aged 20-35 years old (P = 0.013, P = 0.026), respectively. Conclusion: Serum galectin-3 might be used as a biomarker for hemodialysis patients with cardiovascular disease.

Published: August 2023

Background and objective: Five-membered heterocycle compounds having single oxygen and nitrogen atom at adjacent positions are known as isoxazoles. Isoxazole compounds have a broad range of biological activities and therapeutic value. In view of a strategic design of antimicrobial compounds, several new ester-functionalized isoxazoles were synthesized and characterized. Methods: A regioselective isoxazole incorporating an anthracene moiety was adducted via an effective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between anthracene nitrile oxide and propargyl bromide as a dipolarophile. Results: Synthesized isoxazole 4 underwent nucleophilic substitution reaction to produce unprecedented ester-functionalized isoxazoles 6a-j, by condensation with equimolar amounts of different generated in situ sodium carboxylate upon dissolving in acetonitrile with refluxing. The chemical structure of all target compounds was proved by (FT-IR, 1H-NMR, and APT13C-NMR) techniques and their antibacterial and antifungal activities was evaluated. Conclusion: Allnewly synthesizedcompounds6 a-j have been obtained in good yields after purification by column chromatography. They showed significant antibacterial and antifungal activity after screening against two bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and a fungi strain, Candida albicans, using disc diffusion method.
Taking a Popular Science Approach to the Field of Attention

Over the past few years, I have been actively engaged in informing the public, including policy makers and teachers, about the latest findings in attention research. Despite certain challenges in meeting expectations of both the public and peers, engaging with the public and sharing scientific knowledge not only inspired new research avenues but also highlighted the importance of supporting popular science activities within academia.
Photo-induced effects in Ge-Ga-Se films
Authors: Zhang Z. , Sun Y. H. , Yang Z. , Wei T. X. , Wu J. , Wang X. S. , Wang R. P.
Published: August 2023

We investigated photo-induced effects in Ge-Ga-Se films. It was found that, thermal annealing causes the increase of the bandgap in the as-prepared films, and all three annealed films show photodarkening (PD) behavior with light illumination but the change of optical bandgap is minimum in Ge25 film. Such PD behavior can be recovered by reannealing of the film. The kinetic process of Tf/Ti exhibits part recovering of PD during the cycle of laser on and off. Moreover, no obvious structural change can be observed in the Raman spectra of the films at different states, especially in that of Ge25 film.
Novel rare earth metal and aluminium codoped ZnO photocatalysts for degradation of rhodamine b dye
Authors: Viswaksenan M. S. , Simi A. , Panneerselvam A.
Published: August 2023

In this study, samarium and aluminium codoped zinc oxide nanostructures were produced via a soft chemical route, and their structural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic capabilities were investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and photoluminescence (PL) studies show that both undoped and Sm & Al codoped ZnO nanostructures have a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure. The shape of the sample's hexagonal nanostructures, as seen in FESEM pictures, changes as the amount of Sm3+ doping increases. Sm3+ and Al2+ ions have been incorporated into ZnO, as seen by the EDX spectra. ZnO nanostructures were thoroughly studied to learn how Al2+ and Sm3+ doping affected their structure, shape, absorption, emission, and photocatalytic activity. The capacity to absorb visible light is enhanced by the incorporation of Sm3+ ions, which causes a red shift in the optical energy band gap from 2.5 to 3.2 eV. Based on the results of in-depth photocatalytic tests, it has been shown that Sm & Al codoped ZnO nanostructures exhibit the highest photodegradation efficiency for RhB dye for Sm0.04MAl0.04MZn0.92MO, i.e. 84%, when exposed to visible light. ZnO, when doped with a rare earth metal ion (Sm3+), displays enhanced photocatalytic efficiency and might have real-world uses. In this research, nanoscale photocatalysts, as manufactured, degrade RhB dye effectively as a photocatalyst
Ultrasound-assisted sol-gel synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic application of ZnO nanoparticles
Authors: Nguyen N. T. , Nguyen V. A.
Published: August 2023

In this study we synthesized nano-sized ZnO particles by ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method. The materials were, then, sintered at different temperatures of 400 o C, 500 o C, 600 o C, and 700 o C. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the obtained ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, UV VIS, FE-SEM, and TEM. The results showed that ZnO nanoparticles have a hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structure, spherical and hexagonal shapes, and an average size of 22-30 nm. ZnO nanoparticles were used as photocatalysts to decompose methylene blue under ultraviolet light. The results showed that the materials are able to decompose methylene blue under ultra-violet lights. The material sintered 600o C achieved the highest efficiency.

In recent years, the effective hydrogen release from hydrogen storage materials has attracted extensive attention. In this work, CoCl2·6H2O (Cobalt chloride hexahydrate, CCH), a low cost and easily available catalyst, was successfully used to catalyze the hydrolysis of NaBH4-NH3BH3 composite (xSB-AB, x is the molar ratio of SB to AB). The results show that the synergistic effect produced by ball milling is beneficial to improve the hydrogen release performance of xSB-AB hydrolysis. This work not only advances the understanding of the synergistic effect of SB and AB, but also provides a basis for using low-cost catalysts to improve the hydrolysis performance of xSB-AB

Published: August 2023

The production of innovative materials with improved features applicable in many domains is a key application of nanotechnology with far-reaching implications for modern society. Nanoparticle-based polymer composites are quickly becoming one of the most promising new materials, with potential uses spanning the chemical, physical, and biological sciences as well as engineering. Application of nanoparticle-based polymer composites for indoor air quality maintenance was discussed, as were their production, hybrid functionalization, and feasible synthesis procedures (filter membrane). The batch foaming procedure has been used to create foam from the thermoplastic polymer polypropylene (PP). Foaming is a blown process, where carbon dioxide is utilised as the blowing agent. Nanoparticles of titanium oxide (nano TiO2) are also used for reinforcement. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilised to investigate the NTPMs' surface morphology, while other physio-chemical characteristics were investigated by means of various analytical methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of water vapours were analysed to get insight into the water vapour adsorption characteristics of the NTPMs. The kinetics of adsorption pointed to a combination of intraparticle diffusion and liquid field driving processes for the transport of water vapours. Because of their high dehumidification effectiveness, synthetic NTPMs have the potential to replace many of the currently used traditional solid desiccant materials
Improving the Allocation of Indirect Costs Using the FABC Method (Based on the Example of a Paper and Cardboard Manufacturing Company)
Authors: Liubinaitė Ermina , Lipskytė Ieva
Published: August 2023

Every enterprise seeks to determine as accurately as possible the cost of the products or services it produces. The allocation of indirect costs causes considerable difficulties in this process. In the search for the most accurate alternatives for allocating indirect costs, the Activity Based Costing (ABC) method has become more popular in recent decades and is increasingly used by companies. The ABC method has many advantages, but it also has disadvantages, which have led to further development of the method by proposing newer versions. These include Fuzzy Activity Based Costing (FABC), which reduces the risk of uncertainty in data collection conditions and inaccurate cost allocation. However, while the literature provides a theoretical model of the FABC approach, there is very little research focused on sector-specific companies. Given that the issue of indirect cost allocation is particularly relevant for manufacturing companies, this paper explores the possibilities of applying the FABC method in manufacturing companies, using the example of a paper and cardboard manufacturing company. The aim of the research: after revealing the principles of ABC and FABC implementation, to improve the indirect cost allocation process in a paper and cardboard manufacturing company using the FABC method. The methods used for the study were document analysis, observation, conversation, interview, and fuzzy set analysis. The results showed that the FABC method has lower cost drivers for some activities and higher cost drivers for others than the ABC method. The improvement path developed for the allocation of indirect costs using the FABC approach could serve as a good model for its implementation in other manufacturing sectors.
Thermodynamic Quantities of Morse Fluids in the Supercritical Region

Published: August 2023

The critical point parameters for liquid alkali metals (sodium and potassium) are calculated accounting for the non-Gaussian order parameter fluctuations and the Morse interaction potential. The behavior of the isothermal compressibility, density fluctuations, and thermal expansion for sodium is studied in the supercritical temperature region. A significant increase in the isothermal compressibility and the density fluctuations near the critical point indicates a substantial density sensitivity to tiny pressure fluctuations. The thermal expansion coefficient for various fixed pressure values shows a typical gas decrease with increasing supercritical temperature. The Widom line separating the gaseous and liquid structures of the fluid at temperatures above the critical one is represented. Note that our calculations are valid in a small neighborhood of the critical point, which is problematic for theoretical and experimental studies.

Authors: Tasman Tasman , Aisyah Aisyah
Published: August 2023

Bangkitnya aspirasi penegakan syariat Islam dari Pemerintah Daerah merupakan fenomena manarik untuk dikaji. Di tengah kehidupan bangsa yang sedang tidak menentu itu, kembali kepada Islam sebagai landasan hukum dalam kehidupan berbangsa dan bemegara digaungkan oleh Pemerintah Daerah. Bagi sebagian masyarakat, kembali kepada Islam dipandang sebagai solusi dalam memecahkan berbagai krisis yang sedang terjadi. Namun dari sisi konstitusi tidak sesuai dengan dasar negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia yang berdasarkan pada Pancasila dan UUD 45, dan di samping itu katena Indonesia bukan negara agama.Yang menjadi pijakan penelitian ini adalah pembacaan terhadap sejarah perjuangan syariat Islam menjadi hukum negaru di Indonesia. Dalam banyak hal, seringkali kemunculan gerakan Islam menghendaki tatanan sosial politik yang berdasar pada syariat Islam sebagai jawaban dan solusi ketika terj adi dekadensi moral dan kebuntuan politik. Namun, gerakan penerapan syariat Islam itu selalu menemui kegagalan ketika berhadapan dengan kekuatan negara. Dalam peneletian ini, gerakan Islam diartikan sebagai kolektifitas muslim yang bangkit melakukan tindakan menentang penguasa, kelompokkelompok sosial lain, norma-norma yang ada di masyarakat yang dianggap mengancam kepercayaan dan norma-norma Islam sebagaimana dipahami oleh partisipan gerakan, dan yang dianggap menghambat penegakan nilai nilai dan norma-noma dalam kehidupan pribadi maupun publik melalui cara yang relatif terorganisasi yang didasarkan atas sentimen dan solidaritas Islam.Tulisan ini mencoba meneropong proses Gerakan Islam Struktural Pemerintah Daerah Cianjur, Jawa Barat, dalam konteks sosial-politik lokal. Latar belakang pemikiran dan konsep diterapkannya syariat Islam di Kabupaten Cianjur merupakan respon terhadap perkembangan sosial dan politik lokal maupun nasional. Seiauh ini, gerakan pembangunan yang bersifat Islamis tersebut tetap eksis berhadapan dengan pembangunan yang berasaskan Pancasila. Tulisan ini berhasil memberikan jawaban atas pertanyaan penting; sejauhmana pembangunan syariat Islam di Cianjur itu dapat memberikan solusi terhadap persoalan yang terjadi di tengah- tengah masyarakat.

OBJECTIVES

Despite evidence supporting earlier discharge of well-appearing febrile infants at low risk of serious bacterial infection (SBI), admissions for ≥48 hours remain common. Prospective safety monitoring may support broader guideline implementation.

METHODS

A sequential Bayesian safety monitoring framework was used to evaluate a new hospital guideline recommending early discharge of low-risk infants. Hospital readmissions within 7 days of discharge were regularly assessed against safety thresholds, derived from historic rates and expert opinion, and specified a priori (8 per 100 infants). Infants aged under 3 months admitted to 2 Western Australian metropolitan hospitals for management of fever without source were enrolled (August 2019–December 2021), to a prespecified maximum 500 enrolments.

RESULTS

Readmission rates remained below the prespecified threshold at all scheduled analyses. Median corrected age was 34 days, and 14% met low-risk criteria (n = 71). SBI was diagnosed in 159 infants (32%), including urinary tract infection (n = 140) and bacteraemia (n = 18). Discharge occurred before 48 hours for 192 infants (38%), including 52% deemed low-risk. At study completion, 1 of 37 low-risk infants discharged before 48 hours had been readmitted (3%), for issues unrelated to SBI diagnosis. In total, 20 readmissions were identified (4 per 100 infants; 95% credible interval 3, 6), with >0.99 posterior probability of being below the prespecified noninferiority threshold, indicating acceptable safety.

CONCLUSIONS

A Bayesian monitoring approach supported safe early discharge for many infants, without increased risk of readmission. This framework may be used to embed safety evaluations within future guideline implementation programs to further reduce low-value care.
Forgotten Pediatrics: 8 Disturbing Windows on the Past
Authors: Cruz Andrea T. , Baker Jeffrey P.
Published: August 2023

The 75 years since Pediatrics was first published has witnessed an explosion of the scientific knowledge base informing child health. Yet, the path leading to the present has not been linear. We examine several articles that illustrate some of the unexpected twists and turns that have characterized our specialty’s history. We hope that it will provide a reminder of the ever-changing nature of scientific knowledge and the need to continually re-evaluate how our own cultural assumptions shape medical practice.
