Authors: Ahmed Mossa , Wereta Melkamu
Published: February 2023

Ethiopian social protection programs were played big important roles in
poverty reductions for the chronically food insecure and vulnerable
households. Hence, the objectives of this review were the effects and
constraints of social protection. Articles and reports obtained through
internet searching are reviewed related to the topic, which was done at
national, regional, and district levels. According to the reviewed,
Idir, Zakat in Afar, community-based health insurance and productive
safety net program were important ones to reducing risk vulnerability of
the rural community. Moreover, a productive safety net program has both
positive and negative effects on beneficiaries’ social, economic, and
environmental development. In a nutshell, social protection services
play a vital role in providing to address poverty, hazardous events, and
vulnerabilities that affect livelihood. Therefore, concerned bodies
should be focused that targeting rural communities to achieve food
security and health services through social protection. Keywords:

Facing the future of respiratory virus surveillance: “The mosaic surveillance framework”
Authors: Mott Joshua , Bergeri Isabel , Lewis Hannah , Mounts Anthony , Briand Sylvie
Published: February 2023

It is impossible to address the many complex needs of respiratory virus
surveillance with a single system. Therefore, multiple surveillance
systems and complementary studies must fit together as tiles in a
“mosaic” to provide a complete picture of the risk, transmission,
severity, and impact of respiratory viruses of epidemic and pandemic
potential. Below we present a framework to assist national authorities
to identify priority respiratory virus surveillance objectives and the
best approaches to meet them; to develop implementation plans according
to national context and resources; and to prioritize and target
technical assistance and financial investments to meet most pressing
needs.

Authors: Li Nan , Liu Xiaowen , Huang Ninghao , Jin Ming , Zhuang Zhenhuang , Wang Wenxiu , Zhao Yimin , Liu Xiaojing , Huang Tao
Published: February 2023

Objective: To construct a reproductive risk score (RRS) and an
air pollution score (APS) and assess independent and joint associations
between the two with incident COPD risk. Design:
Population-based prospective cohort study. Setting: UK Biobank.
Population: 78,218 female participants aged 40–69 years
without baseline COPD recruited between 2006 to 2010. Methods:
RRS was constructed by 17 women’s reproductive health-related items, and
APS incorporating PM , PM , PM
, NO , and NO was
calculated to assess the joint exposure level. The associations of RRS
and APS with COPD were examined by Cox proportional hazards regression.
Main Outcome Measures: The outcome of the incident COPD was
identified through the in-patient hospital register. Results:
Higher RRS was associated with an increased risk of COPD (adjusted HR:
1.15, 95% CI: 1.12-1.19, P trend < 0.001). A dose-response
manner can be observed between higher quintile APS and increased COPD
risk (P trend < 0.001). The RERI of 0.030 (95% CI:
0.012-0.048) showed additive interaction between RRS and APS on COPD was
significant. In the joint analysis, the combinations of both higher RRS
and APS signified higher incident COPD risk. Conclusions: High
RRS and high APS were associated with increased COPD risks in a
dose-response pattern. Using comprehensive indicators to identify
women’s reproductive risk factors, together with the control of air
pollution, is effective for COPD prevention.

SARS-CoV-2 infection in already-vaccinated individuals is still possible
and may require hospitalization. The aim of the present study was to
evaluate the clinical evolution of patients with COVID-19 admitted in a
public hospital. The outcomes were assessed in relation to the
predominant viral variant and the vaccination status. This retrospective
study was performed on 1,295 COVID-19-positive patients who attended a
352-bed university hospital between 2021 and 2022. Clinical variables
and vaccination status were recorded. Of the patients, 799 had not been
vaccinated (NV, 61.7%), 449 were partially vaccinated (PV, 34.7%) and
47 were completely vaccinated (CV, 3.6%). The mean age of the CV
patients was significantly higher than that of PV and NV. Also, they had
higher percentages of chronic diseases. The outcomes depended on age but
not on vaccination status. There were 209 patients admitted during the
Omicron-infection period, from which 70 (33.5%) were NV, 135 (64.6%)
PV, and 4 (1.9%) CV. In conclusion: Correct vaccination greatly reduces
the risk of acquiring severe COVID-19. Partial vaccination does not
guarantee protection of the population. This highlights the need for
continuous vaccination promotion with all recommended doses, while
investigating alternative treatments for those patients who do not
respond to the vaccines.
Personalized Federated Learning on NLOS Acoustic Signal Classification
Authors: Wang Hucheng , Qiu Suo , Wang Jingjing , Zhang Lei , Wang Zhi , Luo Xiaonan
Published: February 2023

In the process of identifying non-line-of-sight (NLOS), acoustics-based
indoor positioning needs to collect audio recordings of sound fields in
multiple rooms and upload them to the central server for training. Once
the transmission process and server-side suffer malicious attacks,
private data will also be leaked. To solve the training difficulty and
privacy issues at the same time, we propose a novel Personalized
Federated Learning (PFL) model combined with user frequency and room
data capacity, taking into account the significant differences in
positioning data with room layout. The proposed model can accurately
identify the differences between different room data when aggregating on
the server-side. By collecting data in the actual indoor environment and
comparing the existing algorithms, the accuracy of the proposed method
in the data verification of unfamiliar rooms is 90%.
On-Site Experimental Analysis for Impact of Wideband Terminal Model to Transient Overvoltage Based on a Full-Scale 200kV MMC-HVDC Converter Station
Authors: He Shao-Yin , Cozza Andrea , Xie Yan-Zhao , Song Yu , Zhang Chenhao , Ni Xiaojun , Qiu Peng
Published: February 2023

This paper investigates the impact of power converter station modeling
to high frequency overvoltage based on the on-site experimental test of
a fully operational 200 kV MMC-HVDC converter station. Artificial
short-circuit faults were generated in the system with hybrid DC circuit
breakers along coaxial cables by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle for
the first time. Fault transients recorded during the tests are found not
to comply with the typical framework where power stations are assumed to
present a high impedance, or at least dominated by the reactor
inductance. This discrepancy is proven to be caused by parasitic
elements at the terminals of the converter station, resulting in a
spurious low-frequency resonance dominating fault transients. A wideband
converter station model is proposed and validated by the test data. The
simulation results show that the proposed wideband model should be
adopted avoiding the risk of huge resonance bias in short line distance.
When fault distance is 10 km away, converter station model will converge
to standard AVM, while the high impedance or reactor model is no longer
valid. The experimental data provide a benchmark to validate the
converter station model for transient overvoltage or electromagnetic
interference under the fault condition.
How to reduce endogenous adrenaline synthesis in patients with a dysfunctional renal medulla using an APZ-BMZ-DXM combination therapy - preliminary report
Authors: Diamandis Dr. Carolina , Honda Riku , Rocha Fabio , Shirazi Ali
Published: February 2023

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and neurotransmitter
produced by the adrenal gland. It is an essential component of the
fight-or-flight response, a survival mechanism that prepares the body to
respond to perceived danger. When the body experiences stress, the
hypothalamus activates the adrenal gland’s medulla, which releases
adrenaline into the bloodstream. However, some people suffer from
chronically elevated hyperadrenergic conditions, mostly secondary to
another disease. These conditions can lead to a wide range of symptoms,
including anxiety, panic attacks, heart disease, tremors, sweating, and
difficulty sleeping. In severe cases, it can even lead to heart failure,
stroke, and death. The reduction of endogenous adrenaline synthesis is
an important part of managing hyperadrenergic situations. Endogenous
adrenaline refers to the adrenaline produced by the body, as opposed to
exogenous adrenaline, which is adrenaline that is taken as a medication.
By reducing the amount of adrenaline produced by the body, it is
possible to relieve the symptoms of hyperadrenergic conditions and
improve the quality of life for those affected. This preliminary paper
presents a new medication regimen which is, to our knowledge, the most
effective one so far.
Omics and systems view of innate immune pathways
Authors: Rathore Deepali , Marino Matthew , Nita-Lazar Aleksandra
Published: February 2023

Multiomics approaches to studying systems biology are very powerful
tools that can elucidate changes in the genomic, transcriptomic,
proteomic, and metabolomic levels within a particular cell type in
response to an infection. These approaches are valuable for
understanding the mechanisms behind disease pathogenesis, and
specifically how the immune system responds to being challenged. With
the emergence of the COVID-019 pandemic, now more than ever, the
importance and utility of these tools has become evident in garnering a
better understanding of the systems biology within the innate and
adaptive immune response and for developing treatments and preventative
measures for new and emerging pathogens that pose a threat to human
health. In this review we focus on the various state of the art
“omics” technologies used within the scope of innate immunity.
The Case for an App-Based Financial Reporting System

Published: February 2023

The current financial reporting systems are becoming obsolete due to the increasing sophistication of their users, the changing economic environment, and their inability to utilize current technology. This paper proposes an Extended Business Reporting App that will apply current technology, specifically app-based technology, to collect and integrate traditional variables with exogenous data. The app will customize presentation of the data based on user demands and allow a low-cost comparison among entities.
Plasma lipidomic n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Type 2 Diabetes Risk in the EPIC-Potsdam Prospective Cohort Study
Authors: Prada Marcela , Eichelmann Fabian , Wittenbecher Clemens , Kuxhaus Olga , Schulze Matthias B.
Published: February 2023

  

Objective: Evidence on plasma n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and type 2 diabetes risk is inconsistent. We examined the associations of lipid class-specific PUFA concentrations with type 2 diabetes risk.

Research Design and Methods: In the prospective European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Potsdam cohort (nested case-cohort study: subcohort=1,084, type 2 diabetes cases=536; median follow-up 6.5 years), we measured plasma 18:2, 20:3, and 20:4 concentration in 12 lipid (sub)classes, likely reflecting the plasma concentrations of linoleic acid (18:2n-6), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n-6), and arachidonic acid (20:4n-6). Delta-5 desaturase (D5D) activity was estimated as 20:4/20:3-ratio. Associations with diabetes were estimated with Cox proportional-hazards models.

Results: Higher concentrations of 18:2 were inversely associated with type 2 diabetes risk, particularly in lysophosphatidylcholines (Hazard ratio (HR) per 1 SD: 0.53, 95% CI 0.23-1.26), and monoacylglycerols (HR=0.59, 0.38-0.92). Higher concentrations of 20:3 in phospholipid classes: phosphatidylcholines (HR=1.63, 1.23-2.14), phosphatidylethanolamines (HR=1.87, 1.32-2.65) and phosphatidylinositol (HR=1.40, 1.05-1.87), free fatty acids (HR=1.44, 1.10-1.90), and cholesteryl esters (HR=1.47, 1.09-1.98) were linked to higher type 2 diabetes incidence and these associations remained statistically significant after correction for multiple testing. Higher 20:4 concentrations were not associated with risk. The estimated D5D activity in phospholipids and cholesteryl esters was associated with lower type 2 diabetes risk. SNPs in the D5D-encoding FADS genes explained relatively high proportions of variation of estimated D5D activity in those lipid classes.

Conclusion: Plasma n-6 PUFA were associated differently with type 2 diabetes depending on fatty acid and the lipid class.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to a rapid expansion in the use of telemedicine for treating many conditions, including type 1 diabetes. In the T1DX-QI, we reported a rapid adoption of telemedicine during the pandemic (2). We described interventions for and barriers to telemedicine practice in type 1 diabetes care and identified access to technology tools as one of the key drivers of adoption (2).

After the increased adoption of telemedicine in our clinics, we identified a quality gap in accessing insulin pump data remotely. The Tandem t:slim X2 insulin pump was most used pump used by our patients attending the two clinics. As part of the activities supported by the T1DX-QI, we started a quality improvement (QI) project aimed at increasing the percentage of patients with type 1 diabetes using the t:slim X2 insulin pump who were able to share data remotely. Patients have different options for sharing data when they are not in the clinic, but the process requires a good understanding of the manufacturer’s online data-sharing platform (t:connect) (Supplementary Figure S1). First, patients need a t:connect account. Then, if their account is not linked to the t:connect health care provider (HCP) portal, they must upload their pump data using cables to connect the pump to the computer, generate the report, and send it (e.g., by e-mail) to the clinic. This process is time consuming, requires patients to take several actions, and in our experience, is prone to failure. Instead, if patients’ t:connect account is linked to the HCP portal, uploaded data are readily available on the platform for HCPs to access. Finally, in the ideal scenario, patients can share data through the t:connect mobile app, which became available in August 2020. In this case, no cables are needed and pump data can be easily accessed remotely at any time on the manufacturer platform, as long as a patient’s account is linked to the HCP portal and the t:connect mobile app is open and transferring data. For this project, we sought to increase the percentage of patients with type 1 diabetes using the t:slim X2 insulin pump who were able to share data from a baseline of 40% to 80% in 6 months. The measured primary outcome was the percentage of patients with an established t:connect account linked to the HCP portal, and the secondary outcome was the percentage of patients using the t:connect mobile app.
Itch and Janus Kinase Inhibitors
Authors: Han Yujin , Woo Yu Ri , Cho Sang Hyun , Lee Jeong Deuk , Kim Hei Sung
Published: February 2023

Itch is a common skin symptom, with complex aetiology and pathogenesis. It is mediated by 2 pathways, the histaminergic and non-histaminergic pathways. Chronic itch is understood to be processed by the latter and is difficult to treat with traditional pruritus therapies. The Janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway is a signalling mechanism that regulates gene expression through various cytokines. Janus kinase inhibitors, which have been tested and used for several autoimmune diseases, have also been shown to be effective for itch through clinical trials and case reports. Janus kinase inhibitors could be a good choice for pruritus in atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and other diseases, such as prurigo nodularis and lichen planus, with rapid itch relief compared with conventional treatments. The most common adverse effects reported include nasopharyngitis, acne, and elevated blood creatine phosphokinase levels. Janus kinase inhibitors are currently prescribed with warnings about a potential increase in malignancies and cardiovascular diseases and usage in people of older ages. This review aims to provide knowledge about itch and the Janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription pathway and to analyse the current evidence for itch relief by Janus kinase inhibitors.
Kanontekster i norskundervisningen – fra skjult til dynamisk kanon
Authors: Grüters Ruth , Myren-Svelstad Per Esben
Published: February 2023

Skjønnlitteraturens plass i norskfaget har vært gjenstand for debatt de senere årene. Flere forskere har kritisert det de oppfatter som en «skjult kanon». Metaforen «skjult kanon» ser ut til å ha fått status som en etablert sannhet uten at det er avklart hvilke implikasjoner det skjulte kan ha. Snarere enn å ta begrepets epistemologiske gyldighet for gitt, ønsker vi å undersøke den faktiske utvalgspraksisen i norskfagets litteraturundervisning ved å synliggjøre hva som motiverer lærernes valg og handlinger. Det empiriske grunnlaget for vår studie er en spørreundersøkelse som vi sendte til et representativt antall norsklærere og lærerutdannere i hele landet der vi ba lærerne oppgi og begrunne hva de hadde undervist i av skjønnlitteratur det siste året. Analysen viser at lærernes valg er pragmatiske, styrt av tekstenes aktualitet, elevengasjement og tekstsjanger. Inspirert av Rudi Kellers «sti-teori» («Trampelpfadtheorie», Keller, 1994) indikerer våre funn at i den grad det finnes en kanon, er den i mindre grad en ideologisk «skjult» overbygning, men en dynamisk prosess som både følger kjente stier i litteraturlandskapet, men også tråkker opp nye.
English abstract
Canon texts in Norwegian L1 – from a hidden to a dynamic canon
The status and purpose of literary fiction in the subject of Norwegian L1 has in recent years been a topic of debate. Criticism has been raised against what is perceived as a «hidden canon». The metaphor of «hidden canon» seems to have become an established truth. However, it remains unclear precisely what the idea of “hiding” entails. Rather than taking the epistemological validity of such a concept as granted, we wish to study the actual selection practices of Norwegian teachers to make visible what motivates their choices and actions. The empirical basis for our study is a questionnaire sent to a representative number of Norwegian teachers and teacher educators from throughout the country asking the teachers what fiction they had taught over the last year and how they would justify their choices. The analysis reveals that teachers' choices are if anything pragmatic, driven by the perceived relevance of the texts, student engagement and text genre. Inspired by Rudi Keller’s «path theory» («Trampelpfadtheorie», Keller, 1994), we claim that to the degree that there is a canon, it is not so much a «hidden» ideological superstructure as a dynamic process that follows well-known paths in the literary landscape, while at the same time treading new ones.
Developments in iron ore sintering using a laboratory scaled development platform
Authors:   , Al-Haji Tariq
Published: February 2023

Iron ore sintering is the pre-treatment process of agglomerating ﬁne grained iron ores into a coarse grained solid porous burden, suitable for the blast furnace. Iron ore sinter is the primary source of a blast furnace’s burden and as such plays a critical role in the steel making process. A small-scale pilot line sinter pot was commissioned and validated for the proposed research. Findings suggested that altering blend chemical composition, granulation properties, bed permeability and ﬂame front characteristics were the most important parameters in optimising the process. Research conducted in this paper suggested that varying these parameters impacted the iron ore sintering process and quality of the sinter produced. Thus, this work package focused on how these parameters could be varied in order to maximise productivity and quality. The work package also focused on various fuel particle size distributions as well as ratios and found that this also plays a critical role in inﬂuencing process parameters as well as the quality of sinter produced. It was found that by controlling the particle size of fuel, process stability increased. This paper also focused on novel additions to a sintering blend, which could be up-scaled and implemented to industry, ensuring the iron and steel making industry is heading towards a more circular economy. It was found that by micro-pelletizing ﬁne iron ores, permeability was increased and thus pro-ductivity improved. It was also found that the chemical composition of by-products such as used Mag-C refractory brick used in lining vessels at the BOS plant could be utilised by crushing and incorporating into raw sinter blends, oﬀsetting purchased materials. Quality parameters of the produced sinter during investigations included sinter strength, reducibility, chemical composition, optical microscopy and phase min-eralogy. Process parameters such as sintering time, temperature, ﬂow rates, cooling rates and ﬂame front characteristics were also monitored through out to make precise and accurate conclusions.

Published: February 2023

The massive implementation of online learning is seen as a great movement in EFL learning during pandemic COVID-19. However, it has complexities in its practices, especially in conducting online assessment. This descriptive qualitative study aimed at exploring online assessment strategies used to assess writing and the challenges encountered by the teachers during the assessment. The data were collected through an online open-ended questionnaire administration to 16 EFL teachers. Thematic data analysis method was applied in analyzing the data by identifying themes and sub-themes from the data obtained. The result indicated that several online assessment strategies were utilized by the EFL teachers to assess writing, namely writing report, writing genre text, writing short story, writing summary, and answering essay-based test. Those strategies were done through learning management system (LMS) in which the delivery and submission of the assessment were done online. Some prominent challenges encountered by EFL teachers in conducting online assessment to assess writing skills included academic integrity, time allocation, punctuality, Internet access, and guidance and feedback. It implies that the online assessment strategy chosen by the teachers to assess students’ writing skills needs to consider the challenges that might be encountered.

Conspicuous Consumption in Sport – Do Athletes Behave Conspicuously?
Authors: Pavelková Jana , Králiková Andrea , Kubát Patrik , Hromadníková Tereza
Published: February 2023

Conspicuous consumption is constantly evolving due to the availability of goods and the technology development. People have many opportunities to express their values, beliefs, and personalities through product and price is no longer the main factors determining whether a product is suitable for conspicuous consumption. With the development of social networks such as Instagram, the influence of recommendations by influencers are gaining momentum. By consuming similar products (and brands) as those consumed by influencers, consumers seek to demonstrate their similarity to influencers and thus join a particular social group. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between influencer marketing and the perception of sports products as conspicuous and to specify the purchasing behavior for sportswear. Primary data were collected using an online questionnaire focusing on Generation Z (n = 240) and in-depth interviews (n = 10). The questionnaire was based on previous studies of conspicuousness and status consumption and included a set of 22 statements. Data were processed using a factorial analysis in which statements were grouped into several main factors. These factors were examined through regression analysis, with the explanatory variable being the tendency toward conspicuous consumption. Although, the quantitative data analysis did not reveal a tendency toward conspicuous consumption of sports products, the qualitative analysis supports this relationship.

Costura de textos en Rapsodia Inconclusa
Authors: Bres Anabela
Published: February 2023

Las obras que la artista Nicola Costantino lleva a cabo desde hace más de una década se caracterizan por indagar profusamente en la práctica de la apropiación y la intertextualidad, no sólo a partir del recupero de la estructura formal de la obra a la que cita y el uso del título homólogo, sino en otras formas más solapadas de transtextualidad, que potencian sentidos poéticos y políticos. Este escrito explora el modo en que la obra Rapsodia inconclusa (2013) anuda tres tipos de textos - el visual, el escrito y el sonoro, como fronteras de un mismo universo - y se configura como una pieza de contrapunto entre esos diversos registros textuales.
Reglas y procesos de legitimación en el teatro platense
Authors: Radice Gustavo
Published: February 2023

El presente trabajo es un intento por reflexionar sobre las reglas de legitimación de la práctica teatral en La Plata. Se estima que la falta de reglas y paradigmas propios produce tensiones entre el campo intelectual, el campo de poder y las poéticas teatrales emergentes de La Plata. Tensiones que afectan directamente a la forma de nombrar dichas poéticas y hasta el mismo sistema teatral. Por último, se considera que recurrir a reglas de otros sistemas teatrales que establezcan paradigmas estéticos propios ha hecho posible que el teatro local no termine por consolidarse como sistema y, que al interior del campo teatral platense, emerjan diferentes eventos que permitan pensar la práctica teatral de la región e instituir reglas que la legitimen.

Authors: Rusmin B Muhammad , Abidin Nurul Aynun , Mosiba Risna
Published: February 2023

This study discusses the implementation of the teacher's code of ethics in the learning process at MAN 1 Soppeng. The conclusion of this research is that the implementation of the teacher's code of ethics in the learning process at MAN 1 Soppeng has been able to be applied by educators at the school. Factors that support the implementation of the teacher's code of ethics in the learning process at MAN 1 Soppeng are the personal factors of the educators themselves, educational facilities and infrastructure and support from students. The inhibiting factor in implementing the teacher's code of ethics in the learning process at MAN 1 Soppeng is that the description of the teacher's code of ethics is not yet clearly understood by educators and students are also difficult to deal with because they have a variety of different characters. The solution is that educators must strive to develop and improve the quality of their profession and the government must pay attention to the welfare of educators and appreciate every effort made by educators to educate the nation's life. However, overall the researchers view that educators at MAN 1 Soppeng have been able to implement the code of ethics.
Staging Race and Gender in the Era of Contemporary Crises: Dramas of African American Women Playwrights
Authors: Čirić-Fazlija Ifeta
Published: February 2023

Starting from the premise that contemporary crisis is a pervasive continuation of the modern “series of interrelated crises” (Fernández-Caparrós and Brígido-Corachán vii), this article examines the manner in which the US theater has responded to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Simultaneously considering crises as “agents of change and transformation” (xvii) and bearing in mind the #MeToo, and Black Lives Matter movements, the article questions the likelihood of contemporary American theater overcoming its own crisis of representation. Relating modern and current crises, the essay first outlines twentieth century dramatic literature and theatersi against the backdrop of the World Wars, the 1918 health crisis, economic depression, and post-war (racialized) society, focusing on plays by American women of color. The study then centers on dramatic and theatrical developments brought about by the annus horribilis of 2020, surveying new genres, authors and performances, and discerning no significant improvement in systemic discrimination on Broadway stages. The essay also offers complementary reading of Trouble in Mind (1955), a meta-drama mirroring systemic racial and gender discrimination in American theaters, and By the Way, Meet Vera Stark (2011) which unravels similar issues, albeit in the film industry.
Mother Ranaldi: a post-paleolithic goddess gives birth flanked by supernatural stags
Authors: Merlini Marco
Published: February 2023

Birth was one of the most magical, miraculous, and blessed events of post-paleolithic spirituality. The Mesolithic - Early Neolithic rock art paintings of the Ranaldi Shelter (Southern Italy) give distinct visual evidence to a universal subject: the woman during childbirth and the wild animal which, given the context data, is the adult male red deer. The pivotal personage of the drama, Mother Ranaldi, shares her iconographic canon with the Goddess of Childbirth in prehistoric art. She is a majestic, naked, corpulent and fertile anthropomorph who is delivering a new life between her generous thighs. The depiction of the newborn’s head emerging from the vagina emphasizes her female power to procreate. Mother Ranaldi is birthing flanked by two adult stags which she touches with her sacred hands. They are not ordinary animals. Their supernatural nature is described by three features: exaggerated unnatural antlers, clear epiphanic seasonal nature, and bicephalism. They were symbol of worship to the Goddess of Generation, acting as her paredri (supporting, assisting partners). Ranaldi Shelter was used during the seasonal relocation of cervids, which in spring moved from the plains to the summer mountainous ranges. Then, the red paintings had not only a sacred value. Having totemic nature, they carried out a territorial function by contributing to organize and mark the territory, possibly associated with appropriate rituals.
Research on the Largo and architectural landscape of Macau from the perspective of historical layering
Authors: Teng Youping , Huang Yue , Xie Zhenlin , Hu Yuzhang
Published: February 2023

With the research of urban historical landscape, its definition has been continuously deepened. The development of a city is regarded as the result of the accumulation of cultural and natural values in different periods, that is, the historical landscape of a city is the result of historical ‘layering.’ This paper takes the historical dynamic layering process of the Largo and the architectural landscape of Macau as the research content and uses the layering method to take the economy, society and culture of Macau in each historical period as the internal cause of its layering value, relating its explicit characteristics so as to explore the ways and rules of its historical layering. Moreover, in the historical layering of various dimensions, the harmonious Chinese and Western cultural values of Macau are always linked, and it is concluded that ‘the characteristics of pluralism and symbiosis have created the present Macau.’ This paper advocates that in the protection and inheritance of the urban context of Macau, we should focus on the effective protection and promotion of the multi-symbiotic culture and pass on the unique flavour of the city jointly created by the Chinese and Portuguese people.

Authors: Matúšová Silvia , Kollár Vojtech
Published: February 2023

Introduction:
The current development of the world economy defined as the Fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) is rather determined by a larger social change caused by the interconnection of the physical, virtual, and social worlds. It affects the market of products, production factors, sectors, services, education, research, social systems, the labour market, the education, and specialization, including the legal framework, and the use of digital technologies for production and education purposes.

Purpose:
The aim of the literature review will be the description and analysis of Industry 4.0, which are digitization and the application of digital technologies, associated with new emerging jobs in the circular economy, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, development, sales of products and services and the focus on human resources, as Industry 4.0 requires new standards regarding Education 4.0. Methods: The study, analysis, evaluation and comparison of selected scientific papers and research reviews of international organizations (European Union, OECD, etc.) related to Industry 4.0 and Education 4.0 resulted in the need for a significant transformation of education and labour markets, because of newly emerging professions demanding new profiles of graduates.

Conclusions:
Calls for changes in the educational structure and new qualifications will be formulated regarding the Slovak economy by 2030. A successful transition to Industry 4.0 paradigm requires the linkage between industrial policy and educational, scientific, technical and innovation policies.
“What is up With the Dude Wall?”: An Examination of Academic Portraiture, Race, and Gender in Dear White People, The Chair, and Master
Authors: Wright Laura
Published: February 2023

This article provides an examination of the ways in which academic portraiture is deconstructed in three contemporary visual narratives whose academic protagonists are women of color, the Netflix series Dear White People (2017-2021), which is based on the 2014 film of the same name, both of which were created by Justin Simien; the 2021 Netflix series The Chair, created by Amanda Peet and Annie Julia Wyman; and the 2022 film Master directed by Mariama Diallo. In all three narratives, institutional portraits of white men are overdetermined as symbols of a foundational, historical, and omnipresent white supremacist misogyny that permeates higher education. Furthermore, these portraits serve to frame these narratives by conveying characters’ positions as both products of and confrontational to an academic nostalgia for the past conveyed through the prevalence of portraits of wealthy white men – and the white male gaze – who have shaped and continues to shape and determine the white supremacist story of higher education in the United States.
Academic Nostalgia in Mystery Novels Celebrating Old Polish Universities
Authors: Blashkiv Oksana
Published: February 2023

The article focuses on the campus novels Głowa. Powieść nocy zimowej (2016) by Tadeusz Cegielski and Rektorski czek (2018) by Joanna Jodełka, written to commemorate the foundation of the University of Warsaw and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań respectively. This article first considers the generic peculiarities of the selected novels and then goes on to present the image of the university and academic community in these novels, in order to tap into the nostalgia surrounding the Golden Age of the Polish university. While promoting the idea of “the Polish university” as the source of clear values, a moral compass, and even a condition of the political re-establishment of the Polish state for the reader of mysteries, the novels prompt a re-evaluation of the present-day condition and reflections on the future of the academe for its members.
