Resilience in supply chains - How additive manufacturing enables a resilient supply chain
Authors: Trauth Daniel , Schleifenbaum Johannes , Arntz Kristian , Lukas Gerret , Niemietz Philipp , Mayer Johannes , Kaufmann Tobias
Published: October 2021

Resilience - the ability to deal with crises and recover from their effects as quickly as possible - has been glorified since the COVID-19 pandemic as the new miracle cure against the effects for disruptions that occur in the future. Especially for Germany as an export-oriented location, the resilient design of supply chains is an economic success factor. However, a strategic anchoring of resilience thinking in management as well as the use of future-oriented technologies are necessary to harness the potentials of a robust, agile, adaptive and integrative supply chain. Additive manufacturing, due to its digital "DNA" and great design freedom, has the potential to more efficiently create or drive supply chain resilience. Redundancy due to inventories, for example, becomes obsolete due to the location-independent, flexible production of required products without long start-up times on the basis of computer-aided design files. Companies in a supply chain also do not have to bear the investment risk for additive manufacturing machines due to new, data-based business models. For many manufacturing companies and entrepreneurial alliances in the form of a supply chain, the question is therefore increasingly whether additive manufacturing technology can be increasingly used as an instrument to increase resilience along the supply chain in the future. The study "Resilience in Supply Chains - How Additive Manufacturing Enables a Resilient Supply Chain" sheds light on this economic and also ecologically valuable question and presents potential data-driven business models for the technology sector.
The ups and downs of being us: Cross-relationship comparisons in daily life
Authors: Thai Sabrina , Lockwood Penelope , Page-Gould Elizabeth
Published: October 2021

Cross-relationship comparisons are an integral part of relationship processes, yet little is known about the impact of these comparisons in daily life. The present research employed a dyadic experience sampling methodology (N=78 couples) with end-of-day surveys, end-of-week follow-up, and a six-month follow-up to examine how individuals make cross-relationship comparisons in daily life, the cumulative impact of these comparisons over time, and the dyadic consequences of such comparisons. Participants made more downward than upward comparisons; however, upward comparisons had a more lasting impact, resulting in decreased satisfaction and optimism, and less positive self-perceptions and partner perceptions, at the end of each day and the week. Individuals who made more upward comparisons were also less satisfied six months later. Individuals were also affected by their partner’s comparisons: On days when partners made more upward comparisons, they felt less satisfied and optimistic about their relationship, and less positive about themselves and their partner.
Virtual reality exergaming improves affect during physical activity and reduces subsequent food consumption in inactive adults.
Authors: Sauchelli Sarah , Brunstrom Jeffrey Michael
Published: October 2021

An individual’s affective (i.e., emotional) response to exercise may be key to tackling post-exercise overeating. Taking advantage of advances in fully immersive virtual reality (VR) technology, this study aimed to: a) examine whether VR exergaming can improve the psychological response to exercise in inactive adults, and b) assess the extent to which this improvement reduces post-exercise appetite and eating behaviour. In a cross-over study, 34 adults not meeting the World Health Organisation’s physical activity recommendations completed two exercise sessions on a stationary bike; one while engaging in a VR exergame and one without VR. Monitoring enabled heart rate, energy expenditure, and duration across conditions to be closely matched. The Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale, Feeling Scale, Felt Arousal Scale and Borg’s Ratings of Perceived Exertion were measured to capture the affective responses to exercise. Appetite and eating behaviour were evaluated using visual-analogue scales, a computerised food preference task, and intake at a post-exercise buffet meal. Cycling in VR elicited greater exercise enjoyment (p < 0.001, η2p = 0.62), pleasure (p < 0.001, η2p = 0.47), and activation (p < 0.001, η2p = 0.55). VR exergaming had little impact on perceived physical exertion (p = 0.64), perceived appetite (p = 0.56), and preference for energy dense (p = 0.18) or sweet/savoury foods (p = 0.84). However, it did result in a 12% reduction in post-exercise food intake (mean difference: 105.9kcal; p < 0.05; η2p = 0.20). The integration of VR in a cycling workout improves the affective experience of physical activity for inactive adults and reduces subsequent food intake. Further research is needed to better understand the value of virtual reality technology as an adjunct tool to support weight management.
贝叶斯思维儿童读本

[This is a Chinese translation of "Bayesian Thinking for Toddlers"] 贝叶斯思维很容易，孩子们也一直都在使用它。它的原理是从经验中 学习：预测效果好的假设会得到更多支持，而预测效果差的假设会得 到更少的支持。 例如，如果假设A为“我的父母在早上6点通常在睡觉”，而假设B为“我的父母在早上6点通常已经醒来”。之后，如果孩子在 早上6点看到父母仍在熟睡，那这个观察就会增加假设A的可信度，并 降低假设B的可信度。就这么简单！对贝叶斯已有了解的读者可能会发现，这个恐龙故事暗含了诸如奥卡 姆剃刀(Ockham’s razor)、连贯的知识更新、概率代表信念的合理程 度之类的概念。 统计学家们可能会注意到菲尔·戴维德先性原则(Phil Dawid’s prequential principle)的实践应⽤。孩子们可能只想看恐 龙。
Bringing Home Baby Euclid: Testing Infants’ Basic Shape Discrimination Online
Authors: Bochynska Agata , Dillon Moira Rose
Published: October 2021

Online developmental psychology studies are still in their infancy, but their role is newly urgent in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of in-person research. Are online studies with infants a suitable stand-in for lab-based studies? Across two unmonitored online experiments using a change-detection looking-time paradigm with 96 7-month-old infants, we found that infants did not exhibit measurable sensitivities to the basic shape information that distinguishes between 2D geometric forms, as had been observed in previous lab experiments. Moreover, while infants were distracted in our online experiments, such distraction was nevertheless not a reliable predictor of their ability to discriminate shape information. Our findings suggest that the change-detection paradigm may not elicit infants’ shape discrimination abilities when stimuli are presented on small, personal computer screens because infants may not perceive two discrete events with only one event displaying uniquely changing information that draws their attention. Some developmental paradigms used with infants, even those that seem well-suited to the constraints and goals of online data collection, may thus not yield results consistent with lab results that rely on highly controlled settings and specialized equipment, such as large screens. As developmental researchers continue to adapt lab-based methods to online contexts, testing those methods online is a necessary first step in creating robust tools and expanding the space of inquiry for developmental science conducted online.
Massively collaborative crowdsourced research on COVID19 and the chemical senses

Published: October 2021

In March 2020, the Global Consortium of Chemosensory Research (GCCR) was founded by chemosensory researchers to address then emerging reports of unusual smell and taste dysfunction arising from the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Over the next year, the GCCR used a highly collaborative model, along with contemporary Open Science practices, to produce multiple high impact publications on chemosensation and COVID19. This invited manuscript describes the founding of the GCCR, the tools and approaches it used, and a summary of findings to date. These findings are contextualized within a summary of some of the broader insights about chemosensation (smell, taste, and chemesthesis) and COVID19 gained over the last 18 months, including potential mechanisms of loss. Also, it includes a detailed discussion of some current Open Science approaches and practices used by the GCCR to increase transparency, rigor, and reproducibility.
Relating glutamate, conditioned, and clinical hallucinations via 1H-MR Spectroscopy
Authors: Leptourgos Pantelis , Bansal Sonia , Kenney Joshua , Suthaharan Praveen , Waltz James , powers albert , Culbreth Adam , Gold James , Corlett Philip R.
Published: October 2021

Background and Hypothesis: Hallucinations may be driven by an excessive influence of prior expectations on current experience. Initial work has supported that contention and implicated the anterior insula in the weighting of prior beliefs. Study Design: Here we induce hallucinated tones by associating tones with the presentation of a visual cue. We find that people with schizophrenia who hear voices are more prone to the effect and using computational modeling we show they overweight their prior beliefs. In the same participants, we also measured glutamate levels in anterior insula, anterior cingulate, dorsolateral prefrontal and auditory cortices, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Study Results: We found a negative relationship between prior-overweighting and glutamate levels in the insula that was not present for any of the other voxels or parameters. Conclusions: Through computational psychiatry, we bridge a pathophysiological theory of psychosis (glutamate hypofunction) with a cognitive model of hallucinations (prior-overweighting) with implications for the development of new treatments for hallucinations. Keywords: Conditioned hallucinations, Predictive Processing, Schizophrenia, Computational Psychiatry; MR Spectroscopy (MRS)
Legitimacy, trust and legal cynicism: A review of concepts
Authors: Oliveira Thiago Rodrigues , Jackson Jonathan
Published: October 2021

We review the concepts of legitimacy, trust, and legal cynicism in the context the debate about police legitimacy, discuss the extent to which these concepts relate to each other, and offer some early, speculative thoughts on a how relational model of legitimacy can extend beyond procedural justice concerns. Relying upon procedural justice theory, we emphasise the distinction between police legitimacy and legitimation: popular legitimacy is defined as public beliefs that legal authority has the right to rule (people acknowledge the moral appropriateness of legal authority) and the authority to govern (people recognise legal authority as the rightful authority), whereas legitimation is related to the criteria people use to judge the normative appropriateness of legal agents’ exercise of power (e.g., the extent to which police officers are trustworthy to behave in accordance with people’s normative expectations). Building on studies on legal cynicism and legal socialisation, we consider how other aspects of police conduct can send negative relational messages about people’s value within society and undermine their judgements about the legitimacy of legal authority – messages of oppression, marginalisation, and neglect over the life course. We conclude suggesting avenues for future research on public-police relations.
Restrictions of Rights and Freedoms during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Authors: Moulin-Stozek Maria
Published: October 2021

In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland fundamental rights and freedoms are protected by the Human Rights Act 1998. Some of them were limited during a state of emergency declared on the basis of Civil Contingencies Act 2004 and, particularly relevant for the current COVID-19 crisis, Public Health (Control of Disease) Act 1984. The review of legal documents and literature indicates that the lockdown regulations – mainly Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 – adversely affected the everyday life of British citizens. This article discusses if those restrictions could have potentially interfered with some of the fundamental rights.

Social mechanics of gifting bear bile in Việt Nam
Authors: Ho My Ha , Davis Elizabeth , Glikman Jenny Anne
Published: October 2021

The illegal wildlife trade is the major cause for global loss of diversity. In Southeast Asia regions and particularly in Vietnam, the consumption of wildlife products is mostly driven by the demand for food and traditional medicinal products. However, consumers’ motivations are poorly understood. In this study, we use mixed social science approaches and social network analysis to understand the social network influence on the consumption of bear bile through gift-giving practices in Hanoi and Nghe An. The study also provides a deeper understanding of how bear bile is consumed as gifts and the current information on bear bile usage. We found that 97.5% of all interviewees have given or received bear bile and the most common occasion for gift-giving is during visits between closed social circles of family and friends. Other reasons for giving bear bile include illnesses, gratitude, drinking among males, and ulterior motives.

Published: October 2021

The Social Worlds and Youth Well-Being Study examines the impact of social environments on youth’s welfare, help-seeking, and resilience to identify strategies for improving youth mental health and suicide prevention in schools and communities. This study grew out of a shared desire between the Front Range School District (FRSD, a pseudonym) and the research team to identify new, sustainable, effective, and equitable strategies to improve suicide prevention in schools, families, and communities. This report presents our main findings from the study on the Colorado front range. The report discusses the strategies schools use to effectively prevent suicide, including building cultures of belonging, emphasizing whole child educational philosophies, and incorporating mental health into multi-tiered system of supports. The report also examines the important roles of families, mental healthcare, pediatricians and family medicine doctors, Safe2Tell, and faith communities in both suicide prevention and in supporting school-based suicide prevention. Finally, the report offers concrete policy recommendations and practical suggestions to improve suicide prevention in families, schools, and communities.
Ontwikkeling van Begrijpelijke Definities en Operationalisatieinstructies voor Constructen binnen de Theorie van Self-Efficacy
Authors: Kuijf Lisa
Published: October 2021

Self-efficacy is een robuuste voorspeller als het gaat om (gezondheids)gedrag en de theorie van self-efficacy wordt daarom vooral ingezet voor effectieve preventie. Ondanks het belang en de noodzaak van de theorie, is er in de psychologie een gebrek aan eenduidigheid van definities en operationalisaties. Er zijn in de literatuur veel verschillende constructen met (deels of geheel) dezelfde inhoud, en daartegenover worden dezelfde constructen in verschillende theorieën anders gedefinieerd. Dit geeft problemen in het trekken van conclusies, als het immers niet duidelijk is welke precieze definitie wordt aangehouden. Bovendien zijn definities van constructen die deel uitmaken van de theorie van self-efficacy, vaak te beknopt en vaag beschreven in de literatuur, zo ook de oorspronkelijke definities van de constructen van de theorie van self-efficacy. Conceptuele onduidelijkheid heeft een grote heterogeniteit aan meetinstrumenten tot gevolg. In deze thesis zijn definities van de constructen general self-efficacy, specific self-efficacy, outcome expectancy en enactive mastery experiences zo eenduidig en uitgebreid mogelijk gedefinieerd, waarbij ook de grenzen zijn afgebakend van waar de constructen niet over gaan. Bovendien zijn er instructies beschreven voor het ontwikkelen van meetinstrumenten voor de constructen. Dit alles is beschreven door middel van het format Decentralized Construct Taxonomies. Oorspronkelijke definities van de constructen bleken erg summier. Veelgebruikte meetinstrumenten voor de constructen bleken niet geheel geschikt voor de hier ontwikkelde definities, en daarom zijn in deze thesis gedetailleerde instructies beschreven voor het ontwikkelen van meetinstrumenten voor deze constructen.

L’impact de l’archéologie et de l’idéologie sur les stéréotypes dans quelques fictions ayant pour sujet la Carthage punique
Authors: Seddik Wassim
Published: October 2021

Fiction that had Punic Carthage as subject was, until the beginning of the 19th century, exclusively based on the historic sources written by Greeks and Romans. Nevertheless, the first – rivals of Carthage, and second – their enemies, have necessarily proposed to their posterity a biased story, full of subjectivity, rivalry or even hate. The development of archeology as a field of research as well as an auxiliary science of history has allowed to confront the ancients texts with the material coming from the Punic civilization, and consequently questioned centuries old ingrained stereotypes about Carthage. The decolonization of two countries that were directly influenced by Punic Carthage – Tunisia and Lebanon – has then emerged new stakes: the ideology used historic information to support the national identity of these freshly born countries. In Salammbô the autor of the Dictionnaire des idées reçues paradoxically mentions the historic stereotype that nourished the existence of Moloch god. In Elegie à Carthage, Senghor use the Didon myth to support the Panafricanist ideology. Finally, the Tunisian Fawzi Mellah and the Libanese J-J Tabet both dispute Elyssa identity.
Occurrences et dénonciation des « idées reçues » dans la création nouvellesque de Guy de Maupassant
Authors: Anghel Liliana
Published: October 2021

In this essay I intend to show how Maupassant turned his short stories into a denouncement area of the ‘inherited ideas’, which mean commonly accepted ideas, such as those included by Flaubert in his Dictionary of inherited ideas. In this part of Maupassant’s literary work, the syntagm ‘inherited ideas’ acquires several different meanings, such as: some commonplace topics of the French bourgeoisie, the hasty taking up of fashionable words, attitudes, or cultural clichés, which one may come across in everyday life, the tendency of accepting as unchallenged some social, moral or religious prejudices, or foolish beliefs and unjust statements, authoritatively uttered by ordinary people. I’ll also emphasize the manner Maupassant treated the ‘inherited ideas’ by his ironical hints and the narrator’s affective implication, in spite of his seeming impassibility.
Le plat pays vallonné ou comment se déconstruit et se reconstruit le stéréotype paysager de la Belgique
Authors: Zbierska-Mościcka Judyta
Published: October 2021

Landscapes, just like stereotypes, should be perceived as mental constructions. They appear in literature as indispensable tools in the development of identity, both collective and individual. The present paper traces the evolution of this construction and its different uses changing with time: from the emergence of the Belgian literature (and Belgium) to the present days. Literary examples used in the paper refer, among others, to the works by Gautier, Verhaeren, La Garde, Gevers, Masson, Rolin, Bertrand, Delaive and Gunzig.

These identities reveal conflicts dealing with the underestimation of the female gender.
Cheminer vers la littérature patrimoniale grâce aux oeuvres « mythographiantes »
Authors: Poyet Thierry
Published: October 2021

How are the two literatures – the classic, the heritage, the scholarly versus the children’s literature, the overly easy editorial productions – much less opposed in reality than one might think? How can a real complementarity exist between literatures which will perhaps never be patrimonial but which can become school and the “great” literature? We will show how the reading of mythographic works seeks to design a teaching which makes the encounter with the book a triple opportunity for enrichment: to be moved, to escape, to learn. We will show how the reading of mythographic works seeks to design a teaching which makes the encounter with the book a triple opportunity for enrichment: to be moved, to escape, to learn. By taking into account the requirements of the time and the need for the school not to operate apart from opinions and practices, by a literature and a reading which accept to be useful for something, the French course must make sense by offering a new culture which is first and foremost a culture of oneself. It is first of all to show a living classical literature.
La construction du sentiment moral dans les romans contemporains pour la jeunesse Le Chagrin du roi mort et Le Combat d’hiver de Jean-Claude Mourlevat
Authors: Pergher Alizon
Published: October 2021

In the past, literature for children and adolescents reflected society’s belief that young readers were not supposed to think for themselves. Stories were vehicles to provide direct, simple moral lessons. Those moralistic books reinforced gender and good / evil tropes, leaving little room for interpretation, moral grey areas and non-traditional gender roles. In this paper, we examine two contemporary books, Le Combat d’hiver (2006) et Le Chagrin du roi mort (2009), as examples of how youth literature has evolved. In both books, readers are presented with complex characters, plots and themes that encourage personal reflection. Morals are not something to be taught but rather felt.
Renouvellement du personnage de la sorcière dans le roman pour la jeunesse
Authors: Hubert Marie-Claude
Published: October 2021

There are many publications on witches both in children’s literature and in scholarly essays. Mona Chollet’s Witches, the Undefeated Power of Women explains that the word has become an emblem of feminism. This article offers a comparative analysis of several recent novels, based on the latter’s thesis, whose aim is to examine how the witch character is constructed, how the authors treat historical data (healer witch, witch-hunt, stake, etc.) and how they renew this character regarding certain issues (identity, transmission, emancipation, etc.). Are the witches of children’s novels carrying feminist demands for young readers?
Deciphering the Self and the World Through Fantasy in Neil Gaiman’s Coraline
Authors: Alkiş Tuğçe
Published: October 2021

The aim of this paper is to show how contemporary children’s fantasy fiction offers alternative methods to children and teenagers for confronting real-life issues, such as self-discovery, sense of belonging and the process of individuation, through the analysis of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline. In his contemporary children’s fantasy book, Gaiman empowers his protagonist to explore her sense of self, overcome her insecurities and fears in a fantastic mirror-like home. This paper argues that fantasy is an effective device for explaining the complexities and dilemmas of the self and examining a child’s quest for self-discovery in the process of maturation and individuation.
Teenage Identity in the Face of the Other in Nnedi Okorafor’s Organic Fantasy
Authors: Drab Ewa
Published: October 2021

The present paper aims at discussing What Sunny Saw in the Flames by Nnedi Okorafor as a fantasy novel for children and young adults focused upon the question of self-identification. In the framework of fiction for younger audiences, the fantasy mode becomes a tool which allows to examine the topics important to young readers, such as identity and their place within the society, by providing a confrontation with the Other. The example of Nnedi Okorafor’s book, known in the USA as Akata Witch, shows how the instrumentation of a fantasy novel enables an exposition of the process in which the protagonist grows on the intellectual, emotional and cultural levels. In other words, the fantasy mode aids in the exploration of Sunny’s American-Nigerian origin, her albinism, coming of age and the comprehension of her identity. Simultaneously, as additional topics emerge from the analysis, it becomes visible that the question of the Self cannot be separated from the concept of the Other, with the lesson of empathy and respect for what is different.
ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ЕВРЕЙСКОЙ ТЕМЫ В РУССКОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЕ
Authors: Szafrańska Eleonora
Published: October 2021

The article deals, dash-like, with the development of Jewish subject matter in Russian literature: from taboo to self-reflection because of belonging to Jewry, from euphemisms of XIX and XX centuries to the open and proud declaration made by the conceptual Jew, Arkan Kariv, in his XXI century prose. Exemplified in fragments of writings by Dina Rubina, Friedrich Gorenstein, Valentin Rasputin, Alexandr Melikhov and Jury Karabchievsky, some facets of Jewish theme are discussed. In Kariv’s novels Interpreter and Once in Bishkek, a Jew — outsider, pariah, and self-reflecting intellectual — turns into a brutal leader named Martyn Zilber. A special subtlety of this novels’ structure is given by the fact of palimpsest: the reader understands that behind the Kariv’s writings is the novel by his father, Jury Karabchievsky, as much as behind Martyn Zilber’s father stands Alexandr Zilber, the hero of Karabchievsky’s novel.

ŻYDZI I KWESTIA ŻYDOWSKA W PROZIE NIEFIKCJONALNEJ ZINAIDY GIPPIUS
Authors: Krycka-Michnowska Iwona
Published: October 2021

In this paper the views of Zinaida Gippius on the status, place and role of the Jews in history, expressed in the diaries, journalistic writing and essays were analysed. A reading of these texts leads to the conclusion that the writer had an ambivalent attitude to the Jews. On the one hand, her position, especially soon after the Bolshevik revolution, corresponding to negative stereotypes, but on the other hand overcome it. The journalistic writing and Gippius’ diaries comes belief in the need for reconciliation and in the possibility of achieving it. The hope for a harmonious coexistence of people connects Gippius with religious movements in Russia, the revival of the Orthodox Church and the opening of the Jews to Christianity.
SPRAWA ROSYJSKA W LITERATURZE POLSKIEJ W IZRAELU. Rekonesans
Authors: Żurek Sławomir Jacek
Published: October 2021

The Russian problem in Polish literature in Israel is first of all concerned with experiences of the writers. The Soviet Russia was on the one hand a place of torment and torture, but on the other it was a chance for may Polish Jews (significant Polish-Israeli writers) to survive. According to the author the writers were either ideological communists, camp prisoners or refugees. The time they spent in the Soviet Union was an inspiration for their literary works, and Russia — paradoxically — was a source of great fascination.

The first way is concerned with polish recolonization of the former USSR. Second is connected with a position of a wanderer, who travel from place to place with no permanent home in Russia. The last way shows thinking about Russian Federation in very innovative way, it is perspective of a settler. All those concepts of seeing and describing Russia is infected by an interpretation “revenge”.
Żeby było normalnie. W jaki sposób początek opowieści o trzydziestoleciu literatury najnowszej wyznacza jej koniec
Authors: Koronkiewicz Marta
Published: October 2021

W artykule przedstawiono kategorię i pojęcie normalności jako centralne dla dyskursów krytycznoliterackich lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX wieku i początku XXI wieku. Udokumentowano funkcje i sensy tego pojęcia, a równocześnie przedstawiono je w szerszej perspektywie społeczno-politycznej, w kontekście rozważań nad tą kategorią jako kluczową dla transformacji całego obszaru Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej (Alexander Kiossev, Magda Szcześniak, Iwan Krastew–Stephen Holmes). Centralnym problemem rozważanym w artykule jest specyfika samego pojęcia – niemającego konkretnej treści, nazywającego raczej samo pragnienie czy oczekiwania niż to, co upragnione lub oczekiwane. Tak rozumiana kategoria normalności sprzyja wygaszaniu dyskusji, pozoruje porozumienie. W artykule prześledzono konsekwencje popularności tej kategorii dla narracji o literaturze najnowszej. Pokazano, że w historii polskiej krytyki po 1989 roku normalność przybrała początkowo funkcję ogólnego określenia na stan pożądanej rzeczywistości literackiej / życia literackiego (zorientowany głównie na różnorodność, wielość, horyzontalność), natomiast około roku 2000 zmienił się zakres znaczeniowy kategorii i zaczęła ona obejmować stan faktyczny (marginalizację znaczenia literatury, brak platformy dla krytyki, komodyfikację książki).

Conceptual and Linguistic Transfer from L2 (Catalan) to L1 (Amazigh) within the Context of Migration
Authors: Ferrerós Pagès Carla
Published: October 2021

This paper focuses on the analysis of the lexical and semantic influences of L2 (Catalan) on the L1 (Amazigh) in a basic semantic field: parts of the body. Based on the observation that our participants show differences in their L1 usage related to the amount of time they have been in contact with Catalan, our goal is to analyze and describe these differences to see if they are the consequence of a transfer from the L2 conceptual system. This paper is a qualitative study with a sample size of 14 participants whose L1 is Amazigh and who live in Catalonia. The results show that there are cases of semantic and conceptual influence, although to a lesser degree than in other studies that do not analyze data from basic semantic fields. We will also show that there are extralinguistic factors that influence these transfers (the status of the languages involved and certain characteristics of the speakers).
Imagining Resilient Courts: from COVID-19 to the Future of Canada’s Court System
Authors: Matyas David , Wills Peter , Dewitt Barry
Published: October 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged an array of democratic institutions in complex and unprecedented ways. Little academic work, however, has considered the pandemic’s impact on Canada’s courts. This article aims to partially fill that gap by exploring the Canadian court system’s response to COVID-19 and the prospects for administering justice amid disasters, all through the lens of resilience. After taking a forensic look at how the court system has managed the challenges brought on by COVID-19, we argue that features of resilience such as self-organization, flexibility, learning, and reflexive planning can contribute to the administration of justice during future shocks. We propose that the business of judging during shocks can become more integral to the business as usual of court systems. Imagining such a resilient court can be a way to step from COVID-19 to the future of Canada’s court system.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN INNOVATIVE AND STRUCTURAL TRANSFORMATION OF UKRAINE'S ECONOMY
Authors: Sokolova Olga
Published: October 2021

The article substantiates the role of artificial intelligence in procuring the management of innovation and structural transformation of the economy. The analysis of structural shifts in gross value added in the economy of Ukraine during 2002–2019 is carried out. Solow’s residuals are calculated for the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. The expediency of managing the innovative and structural transformation of Ukraine's economy on the basis of changes in the level of Solow's residual in that sector and in the period of time determined by big data analysis by artificial intelligence is proved. A VAR model was built in the EViews environment for Solow’s residuals in three sectors of the Ukrainian economy. Based on variance decomposition and IRF, it is established that increasing the share of intermediate consumption by the secondary sector of education, ICT, professional, scientific and technical services will increase Solow's residual in the secondary sector in two years, in the tertiary sector in three years and in the primary sector in four years, which will affect the increase in output in Ukraine during these three years.
Cirrhosis of liver: Comparative cross reactivity for quantification of SERPINA4/Kallistatin
Authors: Nallagangula Krishna
Published: October 2021

Cirrhosis of liver is an end stage of chronic liver insults from varied etiologies which leads to impaired liver functions. Proteins expressed from liver and enters into circulation reflects degree of liver dysfunction. Serpins (Serine protease inhibitors) are class of plasma proteins expressed from liver; SERPINA4/Kallistatin is a multifunctional serpin clade A protein expressed from liver and concentration in serum is the reflection of extent of liver dysfunction. The present study aimed to compare cross reactivity of serpins for polyclonal and monospecific antibodies in both cirrhotic liver and healthy subjects. Blood samples were collected from 20 subjects (10 cirrhotic liver, 10 healthy) from R. L. Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre, Kolar, Karnataka, India. Separation of proteins was carried out by SDS-PAGE. Cross reactivity study was analyzed using western blot. Proteins present in cirrhotic liver and healthy subject’s serum were separated by SDS PAGE. There was no band detection on both (cirrhotic liver and healthy) PVDF (polyvinylidene diflouride) membranes with polyclonal antibodies. However, a significant band was observed with protein of interest in healthy PVDF membrane with monospecific antibodies. There was no band in cirrhotic liver PVDF membrane even with monospecific antibodies. Comparative cross reactivity analysis of serpins in quantification of SERPINA4/Kallistatin in the present study demonstrated that there will not be any immunological cross reactivity between serpins and SERPINA4/Kallistatin due to the absence of identical epitope in cirrhotic liver and healthy subjects.
Trump’s covid-19 treatment: Can we offer it to other patients in the world
Authors: Al Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: October 2021

Background: Covid-19 is a viral illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease was first reported during December, 2019, in Wuhan, Hubei in China. On Thursday, the first of October 2020, the White House of the USA declared that the president of the USA, Donald Trump had a positive test for SARS-CoV-2. He initially had mild symptoms which included mostly, hoarseness, lethargy, and fatigue. The treatment received by a patient “Donald Trump” who was considered the most powerful person in the world is studied, and this paper assumed that all the patients in the world are as important as Mr. Trump and tries to offer the best evidence-treatment for them. Patients and methods: Most media including the CNN television channel rightly confirmed that Mr. Trump has been treated by the best doctors in the world with best therapies that could possibly help him in defeating the virus. The CNN, in various programs during the first week of October, emphasized that, American citizens with Covid-19 are not receiving the same treatments as their president Donald Trump. Results: Trump aged 74 years and initially had mild symptoms which included mostly, hoarseness, lethargy, and fatigue. His age, obesity and mildly elevated cholesterol were considered risk factors that may reduce the likelihood of having very favorable outcome. It was reported that he initially took hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malarial drug. The use of a therapeutic approach including experimental antibody therapy, remdesivir and dexamethasone has not been reported as a treatment for one patient before other than Mr. Trump. Obviously, of the three important therapies, only dexamethasone can be offered to almost all the patients with covid-19. Conclusion: It seems that, the most important factors that made treatment of Donald Trump effective and successful are: 1-The early institution of therapy regardless of the generally accepted recommendations. 2-The use of multiple drugs as none of the available drug alone can guarantee successful treatment.
Advancing clinical genetics diagnostic skills: Cherubism
Authors: Al Mosawi Aamir Jalal
Published: October 2021

Background: Cherubism is a very rare, mostly a childhood condition that can be horribly disfiguring. We have previously reported our extensive experiences with the diagnosis of rare genetic disorders in a plethora of publications. We have previously reported a large number of rare conditions in Iraq, and we have also helped physicians in the diagnosis and publication of rare syndromes observed in other countries. The aim of this papers is to help physicians in advancing the diagnostic skills in the field of clinical genetics by reviewing briefly a rare syndrome that have not been reported in Iraq, but it is associated with certain clinical characteristics that allow an early diagnosis when seen for the first time. Patients and methods: During the last week of January, 2021, several TV channels presented and discussed the problem of two brothers from Egypt who were considered to have a very rare poorly defined condition that has been associated with progressive disfigurement which resulted in embarrassing social encounters. The cases of the two brothers are presented. Results: The older brother aged 15 and the younger brother aged 14 years. Both had abnormal bilateral and symmetric growth of the jaw resulting in a wide jaw appearance and a round and swollen appearance of cheeks. They also had no teeth on the lower jaw and loose or misplaced teeth on the upper jaw. The parents and a third brother were unaffected. Both children didn’t have mental retardation. The older brother had more severe disfigurement, and many people were asking him to remove the mask he is wearing. He also had very poor vision of left eye resulting from the pressure effect and upward displacement of the eye. The younger brother had a surgical operation to remove a benign tumor from the lower jaw which reduced his disfigurement. Conclusion: Awareness of doctors with this condition “Cherubism” is helpful, and denosumab can be tried in severe cases based on the evidence provided by Bar Droma et al (2020).
Contradiction of Economic Growth vs Population Growth in Asia: A Sociological Appraisal
Authors: Taghi Sheykhi Mohammad
Published: October 2021

The present article sociologically appraises how the two variables of economic growth and population growth are related. The two variables had a different relationship with each other before industrialization started as compared with the modern era. In older times, when societies were agricultural, there seemed to be no contradiction between the two. At that time, as many as children were born, used to get engaged in agricultural sector. Moreover, at that time, death rate was also high. But, later and due to the emergence of industrialization, technologies and mechanization, gradually contradiction of economic growth versus population growth appeared. This is where socio-clinical study of economic growth and population growth finds its necessity. Sociologically speaking, Asian countries need to pay more attention to the two variables, and thereby minimize the emerging contradiction. While average life expectancy is currently over 73 years in Asia (WPDS, 2020), Asian countries must predict feeding, nursing, housing and medications of such aging people for the years to come. It must be notified that population aging as a new trend is the outcome of economic growth. Immune systems of all increasing aging people must be on the agenda in a socio-clinical framework.
Formacja kleryków do posługi charytatywnej w świetle projektu nowego Ratio institutionis sacerdotalis pro Polonia
Authors: Tryk Hubert
Published: October 2021

Posługa charytatywna należy do istotnej działalności Kościoła. Realizowano ją już od czasów apostolskich. Potrzebę budzenia wrażliwości na ludzką biedę i rozwijania różnych form docierania do osób potrzebujących w działalności duszpasterskiej mocno akcentuje papież Franciszek. Ważne jest, aby przyszli duszpasterze nie tylko dobrze znali naturę i misję Kościoła, ale także byli dobrze przygotowani do czekających ich zadań. Powyższe kwestie względem osób objętych formacją seminaryjną uwzględnia projekt nowego Ratio institutionis sacerdotalis pro Polonia, który obecnie oczekuje na zatwierdzenie przez Stolicę Apostolską. W przygotowanym dokumencie znajdują się ważne wytyczne dotyczące formacji seminarzystów do postawy służby oraz dotyczące ich przyszłej działalności charytatywnej w podejmowanej posłudze duszpasterskiej na wzór Jezusa Sługi i Dobrego Pasterza.
