Authors: Kitaw Tegene Atamenta , Abate Biruk Beletew , Tilahun Befkad Derese , Haile Ribka Nigatu
Published: July 2024

Background

Although promising efforts have been made so far, HIV remains a public health concern. Women in Ethiopia are disproportionately affected by HIV, accounting for a majority of new infections and AIDS-related deaths. However, the geospatial distribution of HIV among women in Ethiopia is not well understood, making it challenging to develop geographically targeted measures. Besides, to accelerate the pathway of decreasing HIV prevalence and plan geographically specific interventions, understanding the geospatial distribution of HIV seropositivity and its predictors among women plays a significant role.

Methods

A spatial and multiscale geographically weighted regression analysis was conducted using the 2016 EDHS dataset, comprising 14,778 weighted samples of women in the reproductive age group. The EDHS sample underwent two-stage stratification and selection. The data were extracted between October 18 and 30, 2023. Non-spatial analysis was carried out using STATA version 17. Additionally, ArcGIS Pro and Sat Scan version 9.6 were used to visually map HIV seropositivity. Global Moran’s I was computed to evaluate the distribution of HIV seropositivity. The Getis-Ord Gi* spatial statistic was utilized to identify significant spatial clusters of cold and hot spot areas. Geographically weighted regression analysis was subsequently performed to identify significant predictors of HIV seropositivity. Significance was established at a P-value <0.05 throughout all statistical analyses.

Results

HIV seropositivity among women in Ethiopia is distributed non-randomly (Global Moran’s I = 0.16, p-value <0.001 and Z-score = 7.12). Significant hotspot clustering of HIV seropositivity was found in the Addis Ababa, Harari, Dire Dawa, and Gambela region. Poor wealth index, being divorced and widowed, having more than one sexual partner, and early first sexual experience (<15 years) were found to be predictors of geographical variation of HIV seropositivity among women.

Conclusion

HIV seropositivity among women in Ethiopia varies geographically. Thus, deploying additional resources in high hotspot regions is recommended. Programs should focus on improving the economic empowerment of women to prevent the from engaging in risky sexual behaviors. Furthermore, comprehensive sex education programs in schools and community settings regarding the consequences of early first sexual debut might play a role in reducing HIV seropositivity among women in Ethiopia.
A trustworthy hybrid model for transparent software defect prediction: SPAM-XAI
Authors: Mustaqeem Mohd , Mustajab Suhel , Alam Mahfooz , Jeribi Fathe , Alam Shadab , Shuaib Mohammed
Published: July 2024

Maintaining quality in software development projects is becoming very difficult because the complexity of modules in the software is growing exponentially. Software defects are the primary concern, and software defect prediction (SDP) plays a crucial role in detecting faulty modules early and planning effective testing to reduce maintenance costs. However, SDP faces challenges like imbalanced data, high-dimensional features, model overfitting, and outliers. Moreover, traditional SDP models lack transparency and interpretability, which impacts stakeholder confidence in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We propose SPAM-XAI, a hybrid model integrating novel sampling, feature selection, and eXplainable-AI (XAI) algorithms to address these challenges. The SPAM-XAI model reduces features, optimizes the model, and reduces time and space complexity, enhancing its robustness. The SPAM-XAI model exhibited improved performance after experimenting with the NASA PROMISE repository’s datasets. It achieved an accuracy of 98.13% on CM1, 96.00% on PC1, and 98.65% on PC2, surpassing previous state-of-the-art and baseline models with other evaluation matrices enhancement compared to existing methods. The SPAM-XAI model increases transparency and facilitates understanding of the interaction between features and error status, enabling coherent and comprehensible predictions. This enhancement optimizes the decision-making process and enhances the model’s trustworthiness in the SDLC.

Resumo: Neste trabalho pretendo, em primeiro lugar, indicar o sentido geral da crítica ao correlacionismo de Meillassoux, isto é, a crítica à ideia dominante desde a filosofia transcendental de Kant, segundo a qual não temos acesso senão à correlação entre pensamento e ser. Em seguida, destacar a aporia indicada por essa crítica através do argumento da ancestralidade, e que expressa um limite da postura antirrealista própria à ideia correlacionista. Então, finalmente, analisar a primeira parte do §43 de Ser e tempo e discutir o alcance da aporia apresentada por Meillassoux em face da posição heideggeriana acerca da realidade do mundo exterior.

The reality of the exterior world in Being and time from Quentin Meillassoux's critique of correlationism
Abstract: In this paper I intend, firstly, to indicate the general meaning of Meillassoux's criticism of correlationism, i.e., the criticism of the dominant idea since Kant's transcendental philosophy, according to which we have access only to the correlation between thought and being. Next, I shall highlight the aporia indicated by this criticism through the argument of ancestry, which expresses a limit of the anti-realist stance associated with the correlationist idea. Then, finally, I analyze the first part of §43 of Being and time and discuss the scope of the aporia presented by Meillassoux in view of the Heideggerian position regarding the reality of the external world.

Extraction of Fibre from Young Bamboo for Application in Textile Production
Authors: Sarikanon Cholthicha , Piromgarn Thanate , Egwutvongsa Songwut
Published: July 2024

Natural bamboo fibres have the potential for use in the production of eco-friendly and sustainable textile materials, and have numerous advantages over synthetic fibres. As such, the main aim of this study was to assess the benefits of using raw materials in textile production, including a reduction in energy consumed and time spent, and the reduced use of chemicals that impact the environment, suggesting a sustainable alternative to conventional materials. Thus, natural bamboo fibres exemplify a raw material that can be used in textile applications in various sectors. To investigate the chemical and mechanical separation of young 30–120-day-old bamboo fibres for the purpose of bamboo fibre extraction, experiments were conducted in which the concentration of caustic soda (NaOH) used to separate the fibres was reduced to 5 g/l at 100 °C for 90 minutes, demonstrating that natural 60-day-old bamboo fibres can be separated effectively into single fibre. Furthermore, when natural bamboo fibres are combined with recycled polyester (r-PET) at a blend ratio of 30% to 70% (% by weight), respectively, the fabric’s unique textural characteristics during weaving make it suitable not only for the fabrication of various textile products, but also for a wide range of additional applications.
Alteración en la percepción con grave alteración de la conciencia de la realidad: ¿causa de inimputabilidad? Perspectiva de lege lata y propuesta de lege ferenda
Authors: Alonso Álamo Mercedes
Published: July 2024

En el presente trabajo se aborda la cuestión de si las alteraciones en la percepción con grave alteración de la conciencia de la realidad pueden afectar a la capacidad de acción del sujeto, a su capacidad de dolo o a su imputabilidad. Se sostiene que la eximente tercera del artículo 20 del código penal se orienta de lege lata a la exclusión de la imputabilidad, pero que la compleja problemática de las alteraciones en la percepción con grave alteración de la conciencia de la realidad merece un tratamiento penal diversificado. A tal efecto, se plantean propuestas de lege ferenda y posibles soluciones de lege lata a esta problemática cuestión.
El resarcimiento de las víctima. Análisis jurídico de las bases y criterios para la determinación y cuantificación del daño moral dimanante del delito dentro del proceso penal
Authors: Rodriguez Almirón Francisco José
Published: July 2024

Determinados delitos por su gravedad y el bien jurídico atacado son susceptibles de generar lo que se conoce como daño moral. A diferencia de otros daños, como los materiales o corporales, no existen baremos ni un cuerpo legal sustantivo que permitan de forma objetiva su cuantificación, por lo que la jurisprudencia ha ido perfilando una serie de criterios de cara a determinar la existencia, prueba y cuantificación de ese daño moral. Actualmente, el Tribunal Supremo ha ido utilizando una serie de teorías que buscan resarcir a la víctima de la forma más completa posible. Estas teorías complementarias son la teoría del daño irreversible, la teoría del antes y después, y a la declaración de impacto de la víctima. Con carácter adicional a estas tesis defiendo como complementaria la teoría de los factores relevantes. Se analiza también en este trabajo la difícil diferenciación entre el daño psíquico y el daño psicológico, los criterios de prueba, la renuncia y los principales motivos que fundamentan el recurso de casación en materia de cuantificación del daño moral.
KEDIRI TOURISM DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY MANAGEMENT USING THE BLUE SEA STRATEGY APPROACH
Authors: Putro Dita Riyanto , Komari Ana , Indrasari Lolyka Dewi
Published: July 2024

Competition in the tourism industry in Indonesia is currently very tight, with each region competing to highlight its uniqueness. With this very tight competition, Kediri Regency is trying to get out of the competition (red ocean) by creating innovations through the concept of the Blue Ocean Strategy. Blue Ocean Strategy is a term in the science of strategic management that refers to a strategy to create new markets that have not been filled with intense competition. Blue Ocean Strategy is a strategy to conquer competitors by offering innovative product features, which have so far escaped the attention of competitors. This study uses a qualitative methodology using the results of observations, interviews, and document reviews. While this type of research is categorized as descriptive research. This descriptive qualitative approach facilitates in-depth exploration of strategic management in tourism development using the Blue Ocean Strategy approach at the Kediri Regency Tourism and Culture Office. The results of the study show that tourism development with the Blue Ocean Strategy approach has not been implemented formally and officially, but the elements in the Blue Ocean Strategy approach have been adopted by the Tourism and Culture Office of the Kediri Regency in developing tourism using the value of innovation.
Gene Expression of Subunits of the IL-12 Family Cytokines in moDCs Derived In Vitro from the Cord Blood of Children of Healthy and Allergic Mothers
Authors: Hrdý Jiří , Novotná O. , Kocourková I. , Prokešová L.
Published: July 2024

The incidence of allergic diseases is steadily increasing an urgent need to clarify the immunologic processes which occur early in life and signal an increased risk of possible future allergy development. The ratio and maturation state of DCs together with the cytokine environment are important in directing and modulating immune responses. The maturation state (presence of CD83) of cord blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) of 52 children of healthy mothers and 58 children of allergic mothers was estimated by flow cytometry. The capacity of moDCs to express genes for subunits of IL-12 family cytokines was monitored using real-time PCR and protein secretion in cell culture supernatants by ELISA. The percentage of CD83+ moDCs was significantly higher in the allergic group after LPS stimulation (43.11 ± 4.41) in comparison to the healthy group (24.85 ± 3.37). Significantly higher gene expression of subunits of IL-12 family members was observed in moDCs of children of allergic mothers, in comparison with children of healthy mothers. The differences were evident mainly after LPS stimulation of moDCs (healthy group: p19: 3.05 ± 1.24; p28: 14.8 ± 6.8; p35: 1.8 ± 0.6; p40: 8.0 ± 3.5; EBI3: 3.0 ± 1.2; allergic group: p19: 6.1 ± 2.7; p28: 61.4 ± 22.2; p35: 14.9 ± 6.5; p40: 36.4 ± 18.8; EBI3: 11.3 ± 3.2), with the exception of p28, whose expression was significantly higher in the allergic group even without stimulation (healthy group: 0.28 ± 0.12, allergic group: 0.87 ± 0.62). No significant difference between the healthy and allergic groups was found at the protein level. The observation of both increased presence of cell surface activation marker on moDCs and higher IL-12 family gene expression in LPS-stimulated moDCs of children of allergic mothers indicates a higher reactivity of these cells.
Trzymając się Konstytucji: o prawnym znaczeniu pierwszego orzeczenia aborcyjnego w Polsce
Authors: Jabłońska Paulina
Published: July 2024

W 1997 r. Trybunał Konstytucyjny (TK) orzekł, że tzw. społeczna przesłanka dopuszczalności przerwania ciąży jest niekonstytucyjna. Ponieważ orzeczenie zostało wydane, zanim Konstytucja z 1997 r. weszła w życie, można mieć wątpliwości dotyczące prawnego znaczenia tego orzeczenia. Kluczowe pytanie brzmi: Jakie są dzisiaj skutki pierwszego orzeczenia aborcyjnego? Czy Konstytucja z 1997 r. wyklucza wprowadzenie przesłanki społecznej? Tekst odpowiada na te ogólne pytania. Wkład artykułu do doktrynalnej dyskusji jest dwojaki. Po pierwsze, artykuł dostarcza nowej interpretacji skutków pierwszego orzeczenia aborcyjnego i niektórych przepisów Konstytucji z 1997 r. Po drugie, kwestionuje pogląd, że to orzeczenie i/lub Konstytucja wykluczają wprowadzenie przesłanki społecznej. Tekst stawia tezę, że pierwsze orzeczenie aborcyjne ma mniejsze znaczenie dla prawodawcy, niż sugerują doktryna prawa konstytucyjnego i TK. Biorąc pod uwagę ustalenia, jakie TK poczynił w tym orzeczeniu, prawodawca nie powinien uchwalać przesłanki społecznej w brzmieniu z 1996 r. Ocenę konstytucyjności przesłanki społecznej jako takiej powinniśmy traktować jako sprawę nierozstrzygniętą.

We previously observed lifelong endurance exercise (LLE) influenced quadriceps whole‐muscle and myofiber size in a fiber‐type and sex‐specific manner. The current follow‐up exploratory investigation examined myofiber size regulators and myofiber size distribution in vastus lateralis biopsies from these same LLE men (n = 21, 74 ± 1 years) and women (n = 7, 72 ± 2 years) as well as old, healthy nonexercisers (OH; men: n = 10, 75 ± 1 years; women: n = 10, 75 ± 1 years) and young exercisers (YE; men: n = 10, 25 ± 1 years; women: n = 10, 25 ± 1 years). LLE exercised ~5 days/week, ~7 h/week for the previous 52 ± 1 years. Slow (myosin heavy chain (MHC) I) and fast (MHC IIa) myofiber nuclei/fiber, myonuclear domain, satellite cells/fiber, and satellite cell density were not influenced (p > 0.05) by LLE in men and women. The aging groups had ~50%–60% higher proportion of large (>7000 μm2) and small (<3000 μm2) myofibers (OH; men: 44%, women: 48%, LLE; men: 42%, women: 42%, YE; men: 27%, women: 29%). LLE men had triple the proportion of large slow fibers (LLE: 21%, YE: 7%, OH: 7%), while LLE women had more small slow fibers (LLE: 15%, YE: 8%, OH: 9%). LLE reduced by ~50% the proportion of small fast (MHC II containing) fibers in the aging men (OH: 14%, LLE: 7%) and women (OH: 35%, LLE: 18%). These data, coupled with previous findings, suggest that myonuclei and satellite cell content are uninfluenced by lifelong endurance exercise in men ~60–90 years, and this now also extends to septuagenarian lifelong endurance exercise women. Additionally, lifelong endurance exercise appears to influence the relative abundance of small and large myofibers (fast and slow) differently between men and women.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the content validity Korean version of Communication Support Inventory for Children & Youth (Rowland et al., 2012, CSI-CY). After completing translation, the content validity of the 126-item scale was assessed by an expert committee review. Content validity index (CVI) was calculated based on CVI of the items judged by seven professionals in special education and speech and language pathology. Based on the results of the content validity test, communication support inventory comprised of total 126 items, were developed and its CVIs were above .60 averagely, and thus the items were thought to be suitable to identify communication needs of the AAC users in Korean school context. Implications for future research and practice were discussed.
On the overlapping discourse functions of Spanish ‘cómo que’ and French ‘comment ça’ interrogatives
Authors: Fliessbach Jan , Brunetti Lisa , Yoo Hiyon
Published: July 2024

We present evidence for an overlap in the discourse functions of Spanish cómo que XP ‘how thatcomplementizer’ and French comment ça ∅/XP ‘how thatdemonstrative’ interrogatives. We argue for three shared discourse functions: clarification requests, mirative questions, and expressions of disagreement. We show that these functions are cued by an interplay of morpho-syntactic and contextual factors. At the morpho-syntactic level, whether grammatical person shifts (is indirectly cited) compared to the previous turn and whether additional linguistic material (the ‘remnant’) is present after ‘how that’ were found to be important predictors of discourse function. At the contextual level, whether and how the speaker continues her turn after the interrogative is our most significant predictor. We quantify the degree to which these and other cues allow for a prediction of the discourse functions and find that the resulting model predicts more clarification request uses and fewer mirative and disagreement uses than empirically attested. This indicates that some cues for these two readings are missing from our model. We propose that prosody might be one of them.
Cultivating critical language awareness: unraveling populism in Trump’s inaugural address
Authors: Zhu Junling
Published: July 2024

Recent literature has revealed the upsurge of populism in political and media discourses across the world. However, few studies have acknowledged the importance of cultivating critical language awareness among citizens in democracies. Drawing on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics and Fairclough’s Critical Discourse, this study critically analyzes Trump’s populist meaning-making choices in his inaugural address through both genre and register analysis to raise the urgency of cultivating citizens’ critical language awareness through language education. To better illustrate Trump’s genre moves and rhetorical strategies, this study sometimes analyzes Trump’s inaugural address in comparison with other presidents’ inaugural addresses. The findings indicate that Trump employs a combination of populist rhetorical style, which includes anti-establishment, anti-elitism rhetoric; collectivist rhetoric; pro-nationalist sentiments; and linguistic choices of simplicity and repetition to appeal to both supporters and opponents in an attempt to build solidarity. The implications of this study center on raising educators’ and social scientists’ awareness of the urgency to cultivate critical language awareness among citizens through language education. Equipped with critical language awareness, citizens can understand how politicians use linguistic resources to engage, persuade, and manipulate their audiences to achieve their political goals, and thereby can make informed choices about political leaders in the future.
Ecological Innovations in Shaping Sustainable Governance Policies
Authors: Vitalii Kruhlov Vitalii Kruhlov , Volodymyr Moroz Volodymyr Moroz , Dina Tereshchenko Dina Tereshchenko
Published: July 2024

Environmental innovations, proposing resource-efficient technological solutions, are gaining increasing significance as factors in
the transition to sustainable development based on efficient governance models. The study explores the concept of environmental
innovations and sustainable governance, setting important sustainable development goals and stricter environmental standards. The
correlation between environmental indicators of European countries and the quality of governance is examined through comprehensive
indices and sociological surveys. The results confirm a moderate positive correlation, indicating the capabilities of capable state
institutions to achieve further progress in ensuring sustainable development indicators, albeit with certain regional variations. To
overcome existing challenges, there is a need to shape a comprehensive state policy that encompasses regulatory incentives and market
mechanisms throughout the innovation cycle. The proposed measures aim to stimulate demand for ‘green’ technologies, reduce
risks for private investment, and create favourable innovative systems. Therefore, the strategic integration of innovations can guide
governance reforms towards ensuring sustainable, inclusive and environmentally friendly development.
Uma análise da decisão do STF no HC nº 126.292 e na ADC nº 44: o sepultamento do princípio da presunção de inocência e o funeral do estado democrático de direito?

Published: July 2024

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem por finalidade analisar as recentes decisões do Supremo Tribunal Federal, no Habeas Corpus nº 126.292 e na Ação Declaratória de Constitucionalidade nº 44, que decidiu que o réu em um processo criminal pode iniciar a execução da pena após a decisão de segunda instância, uma vez confirmada a decisão proferida em primeiro grau. Em sendo assim, a aludida decisão da Corte Suprema permite o início da execução da pena aos condenados em segunda instância sem, contudo, ter a decisão transitada em julgado. Nesse sentido, a mudança de entendimento da Suprema Corte não coaduna com a Constituição Federal de 1988. Todavia, o dispositivo que garante a presunção de inocência está elencado no artigo 5º, inciso LVII da Carta Magna e constitui garantia fundamental, não podendo ser alterada nem por Emenda Constitucional nem mesmo por decisão de qualquer instância do Poder Judiciário. Contudo, a mudança de entendimento pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal tem gerado muitos reflexos no meio jurídico.Palavras-chaves: Presunção de Inocência; Execução da Pena aos condenados em segunda instância; Supremo Tribunal Federal. Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze the recent decisions of the Brazilian Federal Supreme Court in Habeas Corpus nº 126,292 and in the Declaratory Action of Constitutionality nº 44, which decided that the defendant in a criminal proceeding may initiate the enforcement of a custodial sentence after the second instance decision once the first instance decision has been upheld. Therefore, the aforementioned decision of the Supreme Court allows the decision to be enforced on the convicted person in the second instance without, however, having the final decision. In this sense, the Supreme Court's change of understanding is not in line with the Federal Constitution of 1988. However, the provision guaranteeing the presumption of innocence is listed in article 5, item LVII of the Constitution and constitutes a fundamental guarantee, and cannot be changed neither by Constitutional Amendment nor even by decision of any Judicial Power instance.

Implementation of Universal Screening for G6PD Deficiency in Newborns
Authors: Milburn Sarah , Bhutani Vinod K. , Weintraub Andrea , Guttmann Katherine
Published: July 2024

We describe the implementation of universal glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) screening during the first year of New York State mandated testing, as well as operational challenges and clinical knowledge gained. All infants born at or transferred to our center between June 21, 2022 and June 30, 2023, underwent testing for G6PD enzyme deficiency and were included in the study cohort. Infant blood samples were collected and sent to a reference laboratory for quantitative assay. After initiation of universal screening, a quality improvement initiative was launched to: monitor and improve the suitability of blood sample collection to ensure timely return of results;improve the reliability and validity of the reference laboratory enzyme assay; andestablish accurate reference ranges for G6PD deficiency in newborns.

A total of 5601 newborns were included. Within the first year of implementation, the percentage of samples yielding any test result increased from 76% to 85%, and most patients had a G6PD result available within 1 day of discharge. We established a more accurate threshold for G6PD deficiency in newborns of <4.9 U/g Hb and G6PD intermediate of <10.0 U/g Hb. Using the updated reference ranges, 224 patients in our cohort were identified as G6PD deficient or intermediate (4.0%). Through a quality-sensitive process, we identified the importance of a standardized approach, improved sample collection processes, decreased sample turnaround time, and established more accurate reference ranges. We hope our experiences will help others seeking to improve processes and implement similar programs at other institutions.
Traducir, transliterar o adaptar hebraísmos al español. Un estudio de caso: Los elegidos, de Chaim Potok
Authors: Gómez-Pablos Beatriz
Published: July 2024

Chaim Potok’s first work, The Chosen (1967), was very well received and quickly became a bestseller that was translated into many languages. For the American author, it marked the beginning of his literary career. All his works are set within the Jewish culture and abound in Hebraisms, usually transliterated into English, the language of the original text. This is often a challenge for the translator, who must decide whether to transliterate them into the target language, find an equivalent in that language, adapt them to the spelling or simply leave them as they appear in the original version. The Chosen was translated into Spanish in 1969 by Rosalía Vázquez Tomás, who took on the challenge of finding an adequate solution, sometimes successfully and sometimes not. If it is always necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the culture from which it is translated, in this work it is even more evident, since a large number of concepts that do not have an equivalent either in English or in Spanish to date go hand in hand with it. This article analyzes 38 Hebraisms used in the translation of The Chosen. It first explains their meaning, presents the passage from which they have been extracted in the two languages and comments on various aspects (presence in English and Spanish monolingual dictionaries, morphology of the words, frequency of occurrence, spelling, etc.). Attention is also given to some Yiddish words that appear in the work. The article ends with a series of conclusions and translation proposals.

Justification of Dual-Level Opener Parameters in Digital Twin by the Discrete Element Method
Authors: Mudarisov Salavat G. , Farkhutdinov Ildar M. , Bagautdinov Rustam Yu.
Published: July 2024

Introduction. The discrete element method is the most promising method for modeling soil tillage. With the use of DEM modeling it is possible to create a digital twin for technological process of interaction of tools with soil, analyze the operation of tillage and seeding machines having various design and technological parameters, and predict energy and agrotechnical indicators of еtheir work. To improve the prediction accuracy, it is necessary to compare the obtained data with the results of field experiments.
Aim of the Study. The study is aimed at developing a digital twin of the tillage bin through using the discrete element method and optimizing the main design and technological parameters of the dual-level opener.
Materials and Methods. To simulate the process of the soil-opener interaction, there was used the discrete element method; the advanced Hertz‒Mindlin model was used as a contact model. For DEM modeling there is created a virtual tillage bin, which is filled with spherical particles of 10 mm diameter with the specified rheological parameters of the selected contact model. The main design factors for carrying out computer experiments in order to optimize them were the opener blade rake angle α and the furrow rake angle β. The opener traction resistance R was chosen as the output optimization parameter.
Results. Implementation of multifactor experiments on the digital twin of the soil bin in the Rocky DEM program allowed to optimize the design and technological parameters of the dual-level opener: bit inclination angle α = 75o, furrow former inclination angle β = 21o, vertical distance between the bit and furrow former Δa = 11‒14 mm.
Discussion and Conclusion. As a result of the modeling, it was found that the opener traction resistance increases in quadratic dependence on the opener operating speed and surface energy of the contact model.

Investigating insecticide resistance, kdr mutation, and morphology of the coastal mosquito Aedes (Ochlerotatus) zammitii (Theobald, 1903) (Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors: Bursalı Fatma
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to assess the insecticide resistance levels and investigate the presence of the kdr mutation in Aedes (Ochlerotatus) zammitii (Theobald, 1903) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquito populations collected from various locations within the Aegean region of Türkiye. Additionally, the study explored the morphological details of Ae. zammitii eggs and adults by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Mosquitoes were collected from their natural rocky breeding habitats from several provinces from April to October 2023 using larvae scoops at different aquatic stages. Emerged adult mosquitoes were identified using both taxonomic keys and molecular methods. The obtained images from SEM analysis revealed unique surface features that could potentially be used to identify the species. The susceptibility of adult Ae. zammitii to six insecticides, namely DDT (4%), fenitrothion (1%), bendiocarb (0.1%), deltamethrin (0.05%), permethrin (0.75%) and malathion (5%), was determined using the World Health Organization (WHO) susceptibility test. Results indicated that the mosquitoes exhibited varied possible resistance to the different pesticides tested. Mortality rates ranged between 72%-96%. This research confirmed the presence of kdr mutation associated with pyrethroid resistance in Ae. zammitii. The frequency of L1014F mutation ranged between 55 and 70% with the highest frequency determined in Antalya-Kaş population, followed by Karaburun and Çandarlı in İzmir. These findings significantly contribute to the understanding of insecticide resistance in Ae. zammitii, paving the way for developing effective mosquito control strategies in the Aegean region.
Prepositional Verbs and the Individual-/Stage-Level distinction
Authors: Acedo-Matellán Víctor , Oltra-Massuet Isabel
Published: July 2024

Drawing on Catalan, we show how the aspectual classification of intransitive prepositional verbs is, partially, a predictor of their argument structure properties. Prepositional verbs qualifying as Stage-Level form a heterogeneous class, comprising both unergative and unaccusative verbs. By contrast, those prepositional verbs that qualify as Individual-Level predicates are homogenous as regards argument structure: their prepositional complement is robustly obligatory and their subject is not an external argument, suggesting that they involve a predicative configuration whose predicate is the prepositional complement. This result supports the more general Property Verbalization Constraint hypothesis (Acedo-Matellán 2019), which states that Individual-Level property predicates cannot be encoded as unergative verbs.
Az életvégi döntések jelentésének és jogintézményének fejlődése
Authors: Kussinszky Anikó , Stánicz Péter
Published: July 2024

Napjainkban igen intenzív érdeklődés övezi az egyes életvégi döntési alternatívákat, azok fokozatos legalizálásának lehetünk tanúi világszerte. A köznyelv jellemzően az eutanázia szót használja, de mit is takar az eutanázia jogintézménye? Mit értünk rajta napjainkban és honnan érkeztünk el ehhez a jelentéstartalomhoz? Egyenlőségjel tehető-e az életvégi döntések és az eutanázia szavak közé? Az alábbiakban az eutanázia, majd az életvégi döntések útját kíséreljük meg bemutatni a témával foglalkozó szakirodalom áttekintésével.
Szexuálpedagógia, szexedukáció percepciója a rendszerváltás utáni első évtizedben 1990-2000 között
Authors: Forrai Judit
Published: July 2024

Az eddig megjelent hazai szexuálpedagógiai szakirodalomi visszatekintésekben a 2005-től jelentek meg összefoglaló írások e témáról, kerülték a 90-es évek eseményeit, részben, mert kevés dokumentum látott napvilágot eddig, illetve még kevesebb forrás van online elérhetően és a mai kutatók sajnos csak azt nézik, ami a neten elérhető, ami pedig nincs ott, vagyis a 2000-es évek előtt íródottak és nincs bescannelve az már nem is létezik, mert a könyvtári forrásfeldolgozás, olvasás már nem divat. Marad az interneten gyorsan elérhető forráskezelés csak néhány kattintással felgyorsult életünkben pont úgy mint a fastfood ételek (egyen és menjen rövid idő alatt), vagy a gyors szexuális alkalmak a fastsex, amikor a rövid és egyszeri szex utáni első pár kérdés egyike: hogyis hívnak? Pedig új korszak nyílt, paradigmaváltás jött létre a 90-es években a szexedukáció területén, amire csak aztán épülhetett a későbbi jobban ismert 2000-es évek és a mégkésőbbi oktatási, fejlesztési munkák, amiről azt hihetnénk újszerű, holott a gyökerei már jelen voltak a 90-es években. Pont ezek az alapok, források, események hiányoznak a magyar társadalmi emlékezetből, erről szól ez az írása.
Brief des Kronstädter Medizinstudenten Paul Francisci an Georg Abraham Mercklin zu dessen Buch über den Aufstieg und Niedergang der Bluttransfusion (Nürnberg, 1679)
Authors: Offner Robert
Published: July 2024

Ein ungewöhnlicher Brief berichtet über die Ursache der mehrjährigen Verzögerung der Edition eines Traktates zum „Aufstieg und Niedergang“ der Blutübertragung im 17. Jahrhundert.[1] Nach den ersten gut dokumentierten und vielver­sprechenden Bluttransfusionen von Hund zu Hund und Lamm zu Mensch (Richard Lower und Edmund King, London 1665, Jean-Baptiste Denis und Paul Emmerez, Paris 1667, und Matthäus Gottfried Purmann, 1668) wuchs zunächst das Interesse an diesem experimentellen Eingriff, getrieben von Neugierde sowie theologischer und natur­philosophischer Motivation im westlichen und mittleren Europa.[2] Ein Jahrzehnt später wurde jedoch die anfängliche Begeiste­rung für Blutübertragung zunehmend von Ernüch­terung und Ablehnung abgelöst und dieser Eingriff in Fran­kreich sogar bald gesetzlich verboten. Im Jahr 1679 hatte die Welle der Versuche mit meist erfolglos gebliebenen Blutübertragungen bereits ihren Höhepunkt zwar überschritten, jedoch nicht alle Ärzte, Wundärzte und Naturforscher haben das Thema ad acta gelegt und der Transfusion von Blut den Rücken gekehrt. Manche ermutigten weitere Forschungsbemühungen mit dem fernen Ziel, kranken Menschen damit zu helfen. Ein Beispiel dafür stellt die bemerkenswerte Abhandlung Tractatio Med. Curiosa, De Ortu & Occasu Transfusionis Sanguinis: (…) [Nürnberg 1679] dar, deren vollständiger Titel auf Deutsch folgendermaßen lautet: „Eine wissen­schaftliche medi­zinische Abhandlung über den Ursprung und den Niedergang der Bluttransfusion, in der die Transfusion von Tier zu Tier vollständig aus der medizinischen Szene verbannt, vom Tier zum Menschen abgelehnt wird und die Mensch-zu-Mensch-Transfusion unter die Erfahrungsprüfung gezwungen wird.“ Dieses Buch erschien mindestens fünf Jahre später, als es geschrieben wurde. Der Grund für die verzögerte Edition lag weder am Thema noch am Autor oder am Verlag, sondern an einem merkwürdigen Vorfall, woran ein sieben­bürgischer Medizinstudent an der nürnbergischen Universität zu Altdorf beteiligt war. Darüber handelt der hier vorzustellende, ungewöhnliche Brief aus dem Jahr 1674.
Darstellung und Untersuchung alternativer und neuartiger Proteinquellen für den Ersatz von tierischem Protein
Authors: Stark Fabienne , Siegfried Patrick
Published: July 2024

In den letzten Jahren ist vermehrt die Nachfrage nach Alternativen zu tierischem Protein und somit der Trend zu alternativen neuartigen Proteinquellen bzw. -produkten gestiegen. Dabei spielt vor allem der aufsteigende Lifestyle sich vegan und gleichzeitig proteinreich zu ernähren eine entscheidende Rolle. Dieser Lifestyle auf jegliche Art tierischer Produkte zu verzichten, ist vor allem auf die Rücksicht bzw. das Mitleid mit Tieren zurückzuführen (Halbach, 2020). Allein in Deutschland betrug im Jahr 2022 die Anzahl der sich vegan ernährenden Menschen 1,58 Millionen. Seit 2019 ist dieser Wert von 0,95 Millionen Menschen stetig angestiegen (Statista, 2023).
A 150 éves Népegészségtani Intézet története I. rész – Kezdetek
Authors: Janik Leonárd
Published: July 2024

Amikor a másfélszáz éves intézet történetének megírására vállalkozom, vezetőinek személyét és munkásságukat is bemutatva, akkor túl kell lépnem az egyes korok, korszakok szemléletmódján és kizárólag a tények leírására támaszkodhatom. Munkámhoz jelentős segítséget nyújtott Győry Tibor (1869-1938) orvostörténész, egészségügyi szervező által 1936-ban 870 oldalon megjelentetett „Az orvostudományi kar története 1770-1935” című élvezetesen olvasmányos stílusban megírt könyve, valamint egyetemünk Központi Levéltárának igazgatója, Molnár László és Szögi László történész, az Egyetemi Könyvtár volt főigazgatójának közös munkája „A Semmelweis Orvostudományi Egyetem Levéltára 1770-1999 Repertórium” illetve számos egyéb forrás. Ugyanakkor követni kívánom a majd száz évvel ezelőtti szempontokat, mely szerint anno az egyetem történetének megírására kijelölt bizottság kiküszöbölte a nehézségek kényesebbik részét, azaz az élő személyek működése ismertetésének és méltatásának mellőzését határozta el, ami akkor azt jelentette, hogy Győry a kar történetét 1914-ig írta meg, és az 1914 és 1935 közötti időszakban csak a száraz adatok kerültek felsorolásra (Budapesti Királyi Magyar Pázmány Péter Tudományegyetem Orvostudományi Karának ülése, 1935.06.04., 9. rendes folytatólagos; 7. rendkívüli kari tanácsülési jegyzőkönyv, 26. oldal.)végjegyzetbe, ide csak a szerző és évszám kell mindenhol!,. Sajnálatos ugyanakkor, hogy az 1951 tavaszán-nyarán bekövetkező iratselejtezések előbb az 1867 és 1938 közötti iratanyagot csökkentették, majd pedig a már megselejtezett és a kiegyezés előtti anyagok jelentős részét megőrzésre átvette a Magyar Országos Levéltár, ahol 1956 őszén a szabadságharc összecsapásai során keletkezett tűzvészben ezek az iratok megsemmisültek (Molnár–Szögi, 2002, 8.) ez a jó.
Književna involucija: Marinković i Adorno
Authors: Milanko Andrea
Published: July 2024

Starting from Bakhtin’s idea of the novel as a genre in continual emergence and therefore a true representative of modern literature, this paper analyses the novel The Cyclops by Ranko Marinković in parallel with Adorno’s argument on modern literature’s resistance to interpretation by leaving the structure of the work open. Following Vidan’s and Gilić’s insights into The Cyclops’ proximity to Shakespeare, Marinković’s protagonist Melkior Tresić is viewed in terms of a hero whose consciousness has metaphorically turned into a Shakespearean stage. This metaphorical interpretation serves to make binary opposi­tions first introduced by the Enlightenment project as Adorno had envisioned it to collapse, so that the lost integrity of being and art’s aura are returned. The novel in this sense relies on avant­garde techniques such as installation, intertextual insertions, and distortion of the sense of an ending, thus becoming an exemplary genre of art’s attempt to redeem the abso­lute. To this end, the construction of the novel is inspired by distant literary predecessors and another literary genre, conflating binary oppositions such as fiction/truth, mimesis/di­egesis, story/discourse, all of them inherited from the realist novel. Finally, The Cyclops is a response to a disintegrated view of the world, namely that the search for the truth (world, beings, text) is always indirect since the truth is intersubjective.
Ivan Cankar i cenzura: od spaljene Erotike i zabranjenih Sluga do političkog zatvora
Authors: Dović Marijan
Published: July 2024

This article analyses Ivan Cankar’s numerous encounters with various forms of censorship in the period from 1899 to 1918. As one of the leading representatives of the Slo-venian literary movement of Modernism, Cankar faced informal censorship as early as 1899, when the bishop of Ljubljana Anton Jeglič bought and burned most of the print run of his first book, the poetry collection (Erotica). He felt the heavy hand of the official imperial censorship more rigorously in 1908, when his editorial in the social democratic newspaper Rdeči prapor (Red Banner) was censored. The most painful episode for Cankar as an artist followed in 1909–1910, when the Ljubljana theatre censors prevented the performance of Hlapci (Servants), one of his best plays. In 1913, this great Slovenian artist even found himself behind bars for his zealous “irredentist” tones in his famous lecture Slovenci in Jugoslovani (Slovenians and Yugoslavs).
