Authors: Harahap Sabasdin , Pusponegoro Aryono Djuned
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Based on the division of the anatomical region of the body, the abdominal region is the third most frequently traumatized region, which is about 8% of all trauma cases. At RSUPN CM Jakarta, abdominal trauma ranks second after the head and neck region as a cause of death due to trauma. This study aims to determine the problems in the DCS action on the SAT. Provide objective data regarding issues in DCS actions on SAT at the ER at the CM Hospital. Method: This study uses a retrospective study method with a descriptive study. The number of samples used is the total population observed. Result: 4 factors influencing mortality from severe trauma, namely; (1). The degree of severity of the trauma, (2). Host factor (host), (3). When definitive action is taken, and (4). Quality of trauma care. Of the four factors, only factors 3 and 4 can be handled in the ER of the CM Hospital, while factors 1 and 2 are factors beyond the hospital's reach. Trauma management in pre-hospital care requires a more comprehensive approach for medical personnel who assist patients and their families. Five of the 6 cases carried out by DCS died. Whereas the Ps value of the 6 cases is more than 50%. This can describe the condition of handling DCS in SAT patients at CM Hospital is not good. Conclusion: The condition of DCS handling in SAT cases is influenced by pre-hospital care, treatment in the ER, surgical techniques and treatment in the ICU. Pre-hospital care for the 6 cases was very slow, DCS decisions were not on site, operating techniques did not pay attention to triad of death indicators and handling in the ICU was less integrated with other departments.

Published: October 2022

The purpose of this Community Service is to provide knowledge about disaster mitigation, especially the earthquake and tsunami disaster at SMAN 23 Jakarta. This activity was carried out on January 21, 2022 through a zoom meeting which was attended by students of SMAN 23 Jakarta from the MIPA and IPS majors. This activity was initiated by providing a pre-socialization questionnaire through google form which aims to determine the knowledge of SMAN 23 Jakarta students related to disaster mitigation, especially the earthquake and tsunami disaster before socialization, then carried out socialization in the form of exposure to disaster mitigation through presentations and videos, then ended by giving back the socialization evaluation questionnaire which aims to see how far the benefits felt by students and students of SMAN 23 Jakarta from the socialization that has been delivered. Through an evaluation questionnaire given to 11 students after socialization, it appears that there is an increase in the knowledge of students at SMAN 23 Jakarta, where there is an increase of 18.2% in knowledge of students and students related to the mechanism of destruction caused by earthquakes, then there is an increase of 9, 1% knowledge of students related to tips for handling in the event of an earthquake, followed by an increase of 18.2% related to symptoms and early warning of a Tsunami and an increase of 9.6% in knowledge of students and students regarding tips for handling in the event of a Tsunami. From the questionnaire, it can be concluded that this socialization activity is useful and increases the knowledge of SMAN 23 Jakarta students regarding disaster mitigation, especially the earthquake and tsunami disaster, which is then expected to be able to fortify themselves if at any time an earthquake and tsunami disaster occurs in their neighborhood.

Published: October 2022

The world economic system’s transformation from a dominant mass-production modelto a mass-customisation model is seen to have created a demand for personal informationfrom consumers. This has led to many consumers feeling the need to protect theirinformation as businesses request increasingly more personal information duringcommercial transactions. This conceptual paper addresses information privacy as aninter-disciplinary issue that affects relationships at micro, macro and global levels.First at micro level, addressing the value perception of information among consumersand marketers; secondly at macro level, illustrating the role of the government inprotecting information privacy; and thirdly at global level, since the flow of informationplays a major role in eliminating boundaries between countries. Finally, the managerialimplications of information privacy are discussed, concluding that effective customerrelations now require businesses to communicate in ways that make their customersfeel protected.
evolution of marketing communication
Authors: Mulder Dalmé
Published: October 2022

Marketing communication is not a new phenomenon. Communication has been part ofthe marketing process for as long as people have exchanged goods. However, the adventof technology and research, among other reasons, has made the marketing communicationprocess increasingly sophisticated in recent decades and has given rise to integratedmarketing communication (IMC) and the integrated communication phenomenon.To understand this new approach to marketing communication, one has to go back tothe roots thereof and scrutinise the path of development. “Innovation begins withabandonment. It’s not what you start; it’s what you stop that counts”, says Drucker (asquoted in Schultz, Tannenbaum & Lauterborn, 1994:1). This statement underlines theimportance of knowledge about the development of marketing communication in orderto understand the importance and effective application of this new approach calledintegrated communication. In this study historical research was conducted to seek out the implications of, and/orrelationships between, approaches in marketing communication from the past and theirconnections with the present. The paper explores the different phases that occurred inthe development of marketing communication from a mass communications focus inthe 1960s to the integrated communications imperative of the present. It becameapparent that integrated communication, which envelops integrated marketingcommunication, is crucial to an organisation’s overall success.

The study was conducted to increase the colonization resistance of the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract of young goats of the Saanen breed through the use of the Extrasol preparation based on Bacillus subtilis Ch-13 (LLC Bisolbi-Inter). In the course of the study, scientific and production experience was carried out in the Samara region on 20 Saanen goats: 10 heads in the control and experimental groups. As a result of the study, it was found that the drug «Extrasol» increases the intensity of the process of energy and substance metabolism in the body of animals. The concentration of total protein in the blood serum of goats of the experimental group at 120 days of age was higher by 9,7 %, albumin by 33%, blood glucose by – 11,2 % compared with the control. The proteolytic, anti-lysozyme, anti-carnosine activity of enterococci, the ability of microorganisms to form biofilms was higher in the goats of the experimental group due to the use of the Extrasol preparation. Body weight of kids in the control group at 120 days of age was 21,32±1,79 kg, in the experimental group – 23,25±2,58 kg, which is 1,93 kg higher. The average daily gain in the experimental group was significantly higher by 0,029 kg. As a result, the administration of Extrasol as a probiotic in addition to the basic diet of young goats of the Saanen breed from 60 days to 120 days of age leads to an increase in the rate of growth and development of animals, an increase in colonization resistance and antagonistic ability of the resident microflora of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The economic efficiency of using the Extrasol preparation is due to the possible profit from the sale of meat from young goats of the experimental group, which was higher by 70,81 rubles from each head.
Papillomavirus-associated neoplasms of dogs and cats
Authors:   Samara State Agrarian University, Kinel, Russian Federation, Kudacheva Natalia A.
Published: October 2022

Papillomavirus oncogenesis as a benign process, clinically diagnosed as papillomatosis, is common in small domestic animals, in particular among cats and dogs, but in the nosological structure of neoplasms has a different ratio depending on the species. Recent data indicate the provocation of precancerous and neoplastic lesions in domestic species by the papillomatosis virus. Clinically, oncogenesis is associated with lesions of the skin and mucous membranes, which is determined by the tropicity of the virus, since the papillomavirus replication cycle is closely related to the differentiation of cells of the multilayer squamous epithelium, and in accordance with the morphological classification provokes the development of epithelial tumors without specific localization. The following neoplasms were identified in the structure of tumors of epithelial origin in dogs and cats: papilloma, squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. Histological diagnosis was carried out using the allocation of specific criteria characteristic of tumors, regardless of cytogenesis. In statistical studies during the study period, organ-specific tumors in dogs amounted to 23,85%, in cats 12,5%. It is noted that papillomavirus infection is characterized by the specificity of lesions not only within one species, many histological criteria for certain types of tumors are similar in both cats and dogs. The concept of infectious oncology is used, which includes and combines the basic principles of infectious and oncological processes. Bibliographic analysis revealed the associativity of papillomavirus infection with specific neoplasms, depending on the taxonomy of the virus and the type of animal.

The scientific article presents generalized results of laboratory studies on brucellosis of animals in order to study the epizootic situation and identify the main causes of epizootic outbreaks in Russia for the period from 2019 to 2021. The data source is the materials of annual reports submitted by the state veterinary laboratories of the subjects of the Russian Federation on the reporting form 4-vet, other official statistical data of the veterinary and medical services of the country. In the Russian Federation, new epizootic foci of brucellosis are detected annually. Different animal populations (cattle, small cattle, pigs, reindeer, dogs) are involved in the epizootic process of brucellosis. So, for the period from 2010 to 2020, 4,283 unfavorable points for brucellosis of cattle were identified in the country, 398 for brucellosis of small cattle, which contained 95 979 and 15 880 heads of sick animals, respectively. According to the results of laboratory diagnostics of brucellosis of animals by bacteriological methods performed by state veterinary laboratories of the subjects of the Russian Federation for the period from 2019 to 2021, the culture of the causative agent of the disease was isolated in 44 cases. When conducting mass lifetime studies by serological methods, animals that respond positively to brucellosis are detected annually, from 7920 to 13 059 individuals. The main causes of epizootic outbreaks of brucellosis of animals: incomplete and untimely identification of sick individuals; violation of the deadline for slaughtering positively reacting to brucellosis and sick animals (overexposure in the farm); non-compliance by business entities with the requirements of Veterinary rules on brucellosis of animals; concealment by animal owners from the state veterinary service of the true number of livestock, which does not allow to cover all animals specific vaccination and diagnostic tests. It can be concluded that the epizootic situation of brucellosis remains quite tense on the territory of the Russian Federation. Untimely and incomplete detection of the causative agent of the disease is the cause of infection of animals and causes a long course in disadvantaged areas.

Background: The prognosis of stroke after an attack is very diverse. Some can recover, as usual, and some live with residual symptoms such as mild to severe disability. However, a stroke for the first time has a significant risk of a repeat attack. So it is necessary to make lifestyle modifications to the risk factors they have, one of which is through the community movement (GERMAS) in the form of education about the CERDIK and PATUH Healthy Lifestyle, which synergizes with this PKM, which is to increase the understanding of families and post-stroke sufferers so that they behave to improve their lifestyle so that it can prevent recurrent strokes. Methods: This community service is carried out to anticipate recurrent stroke events, which involves the community service team from Stikes Wika and people with stroke who still need to understand managing risk factors for recurrent attacks. Community service is conducted offline through counseling with activity partners under the auspices of the Amaranne Foundation. (Tapasya Stroke Center) Tabanan Bali. Results: Of community service activities, people with stroke can change their behavior for the better after knowing how to prevent repeated attacks, with a post-test score of 72% on good points. Conclusion:  This illustrates that understanding stroke survivors and their families will stimulate a healthy lifestyle without repeated attacks.

Engaging the public in science crowdfunding
Authors: Vivas-Peraza Ana Cristina
Published: October 2022

Crowdfunding is a collaborative funding strategy increasingly used by scientists to finance their research projects. It involves raising small donations from the online public, which challenges scientists to create engaging crowdfunding proposals in digital platforms. These proposals become more persuasive with a short video promoting the project and arguing why it deserves funding. By adopting a multimodal approach, this paper explores the visual and verbal engagement strategies used in those videos, to observe how scientists exploit different semiotic resources to reach out to the public and call them to action.
A Bayesian many-facet Rasch model with Markov modeling for rater severity drift
Authors: Uto Masaki
Published: October 2022

Fair performance assessment requires consideration of the effects of rater severity on scoring. The many-facet Rasch model (MFRM), an item response theory model that incorporates rater severity parameters, has been widely used for this purpose. Although a typical MFRM assumes that rater severity does not change during the rating process, in actuality rater severity is known to change over time, a phenomenon called rater severity drift. To investigate this drift, several extensions of the MFRM have been proposed that incorporate time-specific rater severity parameters. However, these previous models estimate the severity parameters under the assumption of temporal independence. This introduces inefficiency into the parameter estimation because severities between adjacent time points tend to have temporal dependency in practice. To resolve this problem, we propose a Bayesian extension of the MFRM that incorporates time dependency for the rater severity parameters, based on a Markov modeling approach. The proposed model can improve the estimation accuracy of the time-specific rater severity parameters, resulting in improved estimation accuracy for the other rater parameters and for model fitting. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model through simulation experiments and application to actual data.

Published: October 2022

The consumption of energy is an important resource that cannot be ignored in modern society. Non-renewable forms of energy, such as coal, natural gas, and oil, have always been important strategic resources and are always facing a crisis of shortage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for green renewable forms of energy. As an emerging green energy source, the moist-electric generator (MEG) has been studied in recent years and may become an energy source that can be utilized in daily life. Along with the advancement of technological means, nanoarchitectonics play an important role in MEG devices. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the fundamentals of the MEG from the perspective of different material classifications and to provide guidance for future work in the field of MEGs. The effects of various parameters and structural designs on the output power, recent important literature and works, the mechanism of liquid–solid interactions at the nanoscale, and the application status and further potential of MEG devices are discussed in this review. It is expected that this review may provide valuable knowledge for future MEG research.
Teachers’ Perceived Challenges and Coping Strategies in Pandemic-Influenced Teaching:Basis for a School-Based Teacher Support Mechanism
Authors: Honra Joelash R.
Published: October 2022

The current COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected many global activities, including teaching and learning. This research investigated teachers’ perceived challenges and coping strategies to craft localized school-based support mechanisms. This study followed a mixed methods convergent parallel design where quantitative and qualitative data were collected during the same phase of the data-gathering process. This design was followed to enrich quantitative data with qualitative data. This study utilized two research instruments to gather quantitative data for the following variable – perceived challenges and coping strategies. To collect qualitative data, interviews were conducted using the sub-questions aligned with the study's central question. The data were derived from randomly selected public school teachers of an educational institution in Makati City. Three of those teachers who answered were chosen at random to be interviewed. During analysis, Shapiro-Wilk’s normality test was done for the quantitative data to determine the statistical analysis to be employed. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed through Pearson r coefficient and thematic analysis, respectively. Results showed that perceived challenges have no significant relationship with overall coping strategies. However, by analyzing the subcomponents of coping strategies, perceived challenges positively correlate with problem-focused coping. This result revealed that when teachers experience a high intensity of challenges in their teaching practices during the pandemic, they tend to do active coping strategies indicative of grit and a more practical approach to solving the problem. Moreover, qualitative data supported that teachers must also be given mental and emotional support besides physical, technological, and financial support. Furthermore, parallel studies must be conducted with a more diverse and large sample to serve as a guide in crafting a nationwide support mechanism for teachers during a challenging situation

In this paper, we present Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry and high-resolution spectra of the short-period Algol EW Boo. We obtained double-lined radial velocities (RVs) from the time-series spectra and measured the effective temperature of the primary star as T
eff,1 = 8560 ± 118 K. For the orbital period study, we collected all times of minima available for over the last 30 yr. It was found that the eclipse timing variation of the system could be represented by a periodic oscillation of 17.6 ± 0.3 yr with a semiamplitude of 0.0041 ± 0.0001 day. The orbital and physical parameters were derived by simultaneously analyzing the TESS light and RV curves using the Wilson–Devinney (WD) binary star modeling code. The component masses and radii were showed over 3% precision: M
1 = 2.67 ± 0.08 M
⊙, M
2 = 0.43 ± 0.01 M
⊙, R
1 = 2.01 ± 0.02 R
⊙, and R
2 = 1.35 ± 0.01 R
⊙. Furthermore, multiple frequency analyses were performed for the light-curve residuals from the WD model. As a result, we detected 17 pressure-mode pulsations in the region of 40.15–52.37 day−1. The absolute dimensions and pulsation characteristics showed that the δ Sct pulsator was the more massive and hotter primary star of the EW Boo.

Published: October 2022

Binding energies (BEs) are one of the most important parameters for astrochemical modeling determining, because they govern whether a species stays in the gas phase or is frozen on the grain surfaces. It is currently known that, in the denser and colder regions of the interstellar medium, sulfur is severely depleted in the gas phase. It has been suggested that it may be locked into the grain icy mantles. However, which are the main sulfur carriers is still a matter of debate. This work aims to establish accurate BEs of 17 sulfur-containing species on two validated water ice structural models, the proton-ordered crystalline (010) surface and an amorphous water ice surface. We adopted density functional theory-based methods (the hybrid B3LYP-D3(BJ) and the hybrid meta-GGA M06-2X functionals) to predict structures and energetics of the adsorption complexes. London’s dispersion interactions are shown to be crucial for an accurate estimate of the BEs due to the presence of the high polarizable sulfur element. On the crystalline model, the adsorption is restricted to a very limited number of binding sites with single valued BEs, while on the amorphous model, several adsorption structures are predicted, giving a BE distribution for each species. With the exception of a few cases, both experimental and other computational data are in agreement with our calculated BE values. A final discussion on how useful the computed BEs are with respect to the snow lines of the same species in protoplanetary disks is provided.

Published: October 2022

Reconhecendo que a área de aprendizado de máquina quântica é um caminho promissor para oferecer uma revolução nos métodos inteligentes de processamento de dados, propõe-se um método de aprendizado híbrido baseado nos métodos de kernel clássicos. Esta proposta também exige que um algoritmo quântico seja desenvolvido para o cálculo de produto interno entre vetores sobre valores contínuos. Para isso ser possível, foi preciso realizar adaptações no método kernel clássico, visto que é necessário considerar as limitações impostas pelo espaço de Hilbert do processador quântico. Como um caso de teste, foi verificada a capacidade do algoritmo de aprender a classificar se novos pontos gerados aleatoriamente, em um quadrado finito localizado sob um plano, se encontravam dentro ou fora de um círculo localizado no interior deste quadrado. Verificou-se que o algoritmo foi capaz de detectar corretamente novos pontos em 99% dos casos testados, com uma pequena diferença devido a considerar o raio levemente maior do que o idealizado. O método kernel se mostrou capaz de realizar classificações corretamente, assim como o algoritmo do produto interno efetuou satisfatoriamente os cálculos de produto interno utilizando recursos quânticos. Assim, o presente trabalho representa uma contribuição para a área propondo um novo modelo de aprendizado de máquina acessível tanto a físicos quanto a cientistas da computação.

Published: October 2022

The diversity of moth species (Insecta, Lepidoptera) recorded in the forest nursery of Nordeste County on São Miguel Island (Azores) is given. Adults were sampled between March and December 2019 using three methods: (i) light trap to catch Noctuidae species, (ii) open-sided delta trap baited with a synthetic female sex pheromone lure to attractEpiphyas postvittana(Walker) males and (iii) entomological net to collect microlepidopteran moths. This contribution focuses mainly on the diversity of moths present in one forest nursery of Nordeste County of São Miguel Island (Azores), especially on the species associated with endemic and native plant species. It also contributes to better plan strategies for integrated protection and conservation measures, since nurseries host a great diversity of plants from the Laurel Forest, which may attract many lepidopteran species.

A total of 10160 adults belonging to 33 lepidopteran species were recorded and listed by families, including: Argyresthiidae, one species (3%), Crambidae, four species (12%), Erebidae, one species (3%), Geometridae, five species (15%), Noctuidae, 18 species (55%), Sphingidae, one species (3%), Tineidae, one species (3%) and Tortricidae, two species (6%). The families Noctuidae, Geometridae and Crambidae were the most diverse. Those with the highest abundance of adults were the Noctuidae family, followed by the Geometridae, Crambidae, Tortricidae and Tineidae. The number of caught adults was consistently higher during spring and summer, decreasing sharply in late autumn. For 13 species caught in the light trap, the adult sex ratio was favourable to females. An analysis of the colonisation status, feeding and primary hosts of these endemic, native or exotic moth species contributes to our understanding of the factors that may lead to their establishment in Laurel Forest environments and to what extent there is a need to monitor and control them mainly with biological control agents.

Background/Aims: To identify changes in symptoms and pulmonary sequelae in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).Methods: Patients with COVID-19 hospitalized at seven university hospitals in Korea between February 2020 and February 2021 were enrolled, provided they had ≥ 1 outpatient follow-up visit. Between January 11 and March 9, 2021 (study period), residual symptom investigations, chest computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and neutralizing antibody tests (NAb) were performed at the outpatient visit (cross-sectional design). Additionally, data from patients who already had follow-up outpatient visits before the study period were collected retrospectively.Results: Investigation of residual symptoms, chest CT scans, PFT, and NAb were performed in 84, 35, 31, and 27 patients, respectively. After 6 months, chest discomfort and dyspnea persisted in 26.7% (4/15) and 33.3% (5/15) patients, respectively, and 40.0% (6/15) and 26.7% (4/15) patients experienced financial loss and emotional distress, respectively. When the ratio of later CT score to previous ones was calculated for each patient between three different time intervals (1–14, 15–60, and 61–365 days), the median values were 0.65 (the second interval to the first), 0.39 (the third to the second), and 0.20 (the third to the first), indicating that CT score decreases with time. In the high-severity group, the ratio was lower than in the low-severity group.Conclusions: In COVID-19 survivors, chest CT score recovers over time, but recovery is slower in severely ill patients. Subjects complained of various ongoing symptoms and socioeconomic problems for several months after recovery.

For solving the linear complementarity problem (LCP), we propose a preconditioned new modulus-based matrix splitting (PNMMS) iteration method by extending the state-of-the-art new modulus-based matrix splitting (NMMS) iteration method to a more general framework with a customized preconditioner. We devise a generalized preconditioner that is associated with both $ H_+ $-matrix $ A $ and vector $ q $ of the LCP. The convergence analysis is conducted under some mild conditions. In particular, we provide a comparison theorem to theoretically show the PNMMS method accelerates the convergence rate. Numerical experiments further illustrate that the PNMMS method is efficient and has better performance for solving the large and sparse LCP.

This paper proposes an analytical solution for a fractional fuzzy acoustic wave equation. Under the fractional Caputo-Fabrizio operator, we use the Laplace transformation and the iterative technique. In the present study, the achieved series type result was determined, and we approximated the estimated values of the suggested models. All three problems used two various fractional-order simulations between 0 and 1 to obtain the upper and lower portions of the fuzzy results. Since the exponential function is present, the fractional operator is non-singular and global. Due to its dynamic behaviors, it provides all fuzzy form solutions that happen between 0 and 1 at any level of fractional order. Because the fuzzy numbers return the solution in a fuzzy shape with upper and lower branches, the unknown quantity likewise incorporates fuzziness.
Contribution of Service-Learning and Supporting Factors to the Environmental Sustainability Commitment of Higher Education Institutions

Published: October 2022

This study analyzes how service-learning contributes to the level of commitment to environmental sustainability in higher education institutions (HEIs), as perceived by their students. The empirical analysis has been conducted by using the PLS-SEM modelling, on a sample of 366 undergraduate students of business from Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. The obtained results support the hypothesized influence of the service-learning development level on the sustainability commitment in higher education. We also consider the indirect effects within the model. They show that service-learning mediates the relationships between students’ idealism and sustainability commitment, as well as between students’ social trust and sustainability commitment. Implications of obtained empirical results for theory and higher education practice are discussed. The potential for generalizing results for other sustainability interventions is assessed.

El acceso abierto es un pilar fundamental para entender la comunicación científica de las últimas tres décadas, tanto a nivel mundial, pero especialmente desde América Latina. Su crecimiento, fundamentalmente a partir de la ruta dorada, ha generado cambios importantes en los modelos de negocio de la industria editorial científica. Uno de ellos ha venido con la aparición de los cobros por publicación (APC), lo cual se ha ido posicionando por el auge del acceso abierto y las políticas universitarias y gubernamentales para la evaluación de la investigación y los sistemas de recompensas. En este sentido, se ha hecho necesario reconocer las dinámicas asociadas a este fenómeno y atacar la falta de datos y la transparencia de los costos que implica el APC. Por ello, este artículo propone una metodología de seis pasos para analizar estos cobros en cualquier universidad, y presenta el panorama para el caso de las instituciones de educación superior colombianas. Se puede evidenciar el aumento de la producción científica en abierto a partir de la ruta dorada pero también el aumento de los gastos de las instituciones en los últimos años.
Pour une histoire queer de l’art : récits alternatifs et expériences de déplacement
Authors: Delille Damien
Published: October 2022

Le renouvellement récent des études féministes et de genre dans le champ de l’histoire de l’art s’est cristallisé autour du terme « queer », qui correspond aux pratiques et aux théories de l’entre-deux sexuel et de la fluidité des représentations de genre. En revenant sur le moment historiographique de fondation du terme dans le contexte étasunien des années 1980-2000, cet article propose d’articuler la contestation politique et esthétique que les pratiques queers embrassent aux différentes formes de récits engagées sur le temps long. Il s’agit d’examiner la manière dont les historiennes et historiens de l’art ont intégré les théories queer à une histoire LGBT marquée par l’invisibilité et le détournement érotique. D’autres formes de généalogies héritées de la pensée foucaldienne sont interrogées à partir des expériences sexuelles et des subjectivités des artistes. Cette histoire queer de l’art s’appuie sur l’examen d’une archéologie plus profonde de la modernité issue des périodes classiques prémodernes. Elle rappelle le rôle des narrations intersectionnelles et des études culturelles qui permettent de déplacer l’histoire de l’art androcentrique vers l’étude des marginalités artistiques de genre, de classe et de race.
Récit, genre et tournant « cinématique », ou retour au cinéma. La redéfinition des archétypes du conte de fées et de l’horreur dans l’art de l’image en mouvement : l’expérience britannique
Authors: Garletti Elisabetta
Published: October 2022

La publication de l’article fondateur de Laura Mulvey « Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema » (1975) a ouvert la voie à l’examen des relations entre le genre comme question politique et le récit du cinéma au sein des études cinématographiques. En Grande-Bretagne, celles-ci se sont développées – au point qu’on a pu parler d’une British Film theory – conjointement au cinéma expérimental sur la base d’une méfiance commune envers le récit, perçu comme un instrument de mystification au service de l’idéologie dominante et de l’idéal hétéro-patriarcal. Cet article procède à un réexamen des relations entre récit et genre (au sens politique) à la lumière du « tournant cinématique » qui s’opère depuis les années 1990 dans l’art des images en mouvement. Dès lors que des artistes contemporains délaissent de plus en plus l’esthétique formaliste et anti-illusionniste du premier cinéma expérimental et reviennent aux structures conventionnelles du récit au cinéma, il devient urgent de considérer son potentiel critique. Examinant comment Marianna Simnett et Jamie Crewe s’approprient, respectivement dans The Udder (2014) et dans Ashley (2020), les conventions du conte de fées et du film d’horreur, il s’agit de montrer que le jeu du récit dans les œuvres d’une génération émergente d’artistes britanniques réhabilite les notions longtemps rejetées ou considérées avec suspicion de plaisir du récit et d’identification à celui-ci tout en témoignant des capacités de la narration à subvertir les présupposés sociaux et culturels de la normativité de genre.
Financial and Macroeconomic Drivers of Bank Profitability

Published: October 2022

This paper aims at investigating the factors that affected the profitability of Greek systemic banks during the period 2009-2019. The authors initially review the findings of relevant international literature. Then, details of the methodology followed are provided and the variables that constitute the model are explained. Based on those, they investigate econometrically the factors that influenced banks' return on assets. The econometric analysis establishes that the ability of Greek systemic banks to generate profits through the use of their assets, during the period 2009-2019, was shaped under the influence of the debt crisis, which turned into a financial crisis, as well as specific financial and macroeconomic factors.
Comparing Scales for the Assessment of Visual Aesthetics of Mobile GUIs Through Human Judgments

Published: October 2022

Visual aesthetics is a success criterion for mobile apps. Despite considerable research on graphical user interface (GUI) assessments, there is a lack of studies investigating the reliability and validity of scale types on visual aesthetics as a unidimensional construct. In this study, 208 subjects were divided into four groups, each using a different rating scale and the VisAWI-S questionnaire as the golden standard, to assess the visual aesthetics of nine mobile GUIs. As a result, all scales showed excellent inter-rater reliability and good agreement. Seven-point scales resulted in slightly higher intra-rater reliability than those with five points, but agreement was lower using five-point Likert scales. All scales have shown to be valid compared with VisAWI-S and presented strong correlations pairwise. Results indicate that any of these scales are suitable to assess mobile GUI visual aesthetics reliably and validly as long as response quality is analyzed. This work supports the adoption of single-item questionnaires reducing effort and time, especially in large-scale assessment designs.

In Africa, the treatment of COVID-19 depends on each country. Several protocols are observed with real results that we described in this study. The objective of this review was to describe the treatment of COVID-19 and the case fatality rate in African countries, by reviewing the literature on treatment and case fatality in African countries whose data was available through the internet during the writing period until February 7, 2021. The majority of African countries had a treatment based on hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine + azithromycin, used in varying doses depending on the country. The lethality in Africa remains low compared to European and American countries. The same treatment being used in some northern countries does not fully explain the low case fatality.
