The Limits of Economics: Globalization - From a Cornucopia to a Goblet of Poison?
Authors:   International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Sassin Wolfgang
Published: February 2022

After the coronavirus crisis, a so-called Reconstruction Program of the European Union was adopted, initiated by French President Macron and German Chancellor Merkel. It is intended to counteract the far-reaching consequences of the extensive economic and social isolation in the face of COVID-19. However, Corona has undoubtedly been and will continue to be a catalyst that accelerates the inevitable transformation of what we call modern global and universal civilization, whether within the borders of the Eurasian area or beyond. The article examines why, in general, investments in global climate protection or in programs for the comprehensive digitalization of the planet, which is also the aim of the reconstruction program of the EU, will not eliminate the obvious structural distortions in the Eurasian economy caused by the acting individuals of the first two decades of the 21st century.
Eurasian Images, Archetypes and Mirages: Vectors from Ancient Times to Nowadays
Authors: Gnes Alexandre
Published: February 2022

National and ethnic archetype that is being carved in tales, folklore, and epos for centuries, is a key to understanding imagology as a set of images and notions about a culture or nationality. In Eurasia, gradual evolution of archetypes of different peoples was overthrown by World War I, which created new peoples, new borders and new nations. In the article, on the basis of studying Magyar national archetype and its relationships with other Eurasian archetypes, mainly Germanic and Turan, we are outlining a hypothesis that a clear delineation “our own – foreign” that would defy the globalisation, is a necessary prerequisite for the sustainable and productive coexistence of Eurasian cultures and nationalities and an important condition of Eurasia’s future development.
Rollator related pedestrian single accidents and collision events in Sweden
Authors: Carlsson Anna , Lundälv Jörgen
Published: February 2022

Rollators (four-wheel walkers in USA; zimmer frames in UK) are commonly used as mobility aids for the elderly and people with a variety of disabilities. Pedestrian rollator users are a sub-group of Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs), although this group is rarely recognised in traffic safety contexts. The aim of this study is to extract and analyse rollator related pedestrian accident and injury data in Sweden. The results will provide valuable insight into the risks and obstacles rollator users are exposed to in the traffic environment and may in the long term contribute to improving the mobility of this group. The current study is based on data from 2,020 accidents involving 2,305 persons extracted from the Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition (STRADA) database. For consistency reasons, a subset of data (N = 745) was analysed in order to investigate the development of accidents over a period of 10 years. Thereafter, each accident in the whole data set was registered as either single or collision. The results show that the number of rollator accidents in Sweden increased by approximately 80% during 2007–2016. Females dominate the injury statistics of single accidents, collisions, as well as fatal outcome, which may be due to exposure and/or differences in physical characteristics. Single accidents are much more common than collisions (n=1,668 and n=352, respectively) and the injury consequences are at least as serious. Data from the present study have revealed that the frequency of minor injuries (ISS 1–3) is 4.3 times, moderate (ISS 4–8) 6.0 times and serious injuries (ISS 9–15) 8.9 times higher in single accidents than in collisions. Fatal injuries are, however, more common in collision events (33 in comparison to 8). The vast majority of single accidents (99%) was due to falls. Many of the single accidents (29%) were caused by ground level differences (typically a curb) or due to surface conditions (19%). Collisions involved cars, trucks or buses in 91% of cases, occurring predominantly in car parks (31%) and on (zebra) crossings (30%). In 54% of cases the vehicles reversed into the rollator. Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3+ injuries were dominated by head (36%) and torso (33%) injuries in collision events, and hip fractures (71%) in single accidents. The present study shows that further research into rollator user related accidents, both single accidents and collision events, is required. In order to introduce appropriate measures, future work should follow up on accident and injury developments and further improve the quality of mobility aid related accident data in general. Improved stability and design, proper training programmes, effective maintenance services, development of a supporting infrastructure would contribute to increased safety for rollator users.

Szakrális és démonikus nőalakok orosz poétikai kontextusban
Authors: Hajnády Zoltán
Published: February 2022

A dualitás az európai gondolkodásban szinte mindenben jelen van: lét–nemlét, jó–rossz, szép–rút, szakrális–profán, ahol a fogalompár első tagja mindig pozitívumot és a lényeget jelenti, a második tagja pedig a negatívumot és az első tagadását. A feloldhatatlannak tűnő ellentétek kölcsönösen feltételezik egymást. A pozitív archetípus spontán módon generálja negatív ellenpólusát. Minden mindenkor magában hordja az ellentétét is. Az ellentétes minőségű ellentétpárok valójában egymásrautaltsági viszonyban állnak egymással. Még az is kérdéses, hogy egyiknek a másiktól függetlenül van-e létjogosultsága. Egyik fél sem léphet föl egyedül mint saját maga, hanem mindig csak úgy, mint a másik szubsztanciális párja, amely nélkül nincs teljesség.

Background: Incidence of diabetes mellitus continues to rise, common focus areas for diabetes control are blood glucose levels, diet, and exercise. Controlling these factors are essential for a better quality of life in diabetes patients. Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of asymptomatic bacteriuria and pyuria, cystitis, and, more important, serious upper urinary tract infection. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital based descriptive and cross-sectional study which included 250 Study subjects who were admitted in CSI Kalyani General hospital during the period from July 2017 to July 2018 and who has Diabetic as a comorbidity were interviewed using structured protocol based proforma. Patient underwent routine clinical, pathological and biochemical investigations. Results: In this study, 250 in-patients were included and analyzed. The prevalence of Infection in Diabetes mellitus was 65.6%. There is no significant association between Age, Education, Occupation, HbA1C, Duration and type of treatment and biochemical values. The commonest organism in Urine sample among the study group was E.coli followed by Klebsiella. UTI is more common in females, Respiratory infection is more common in males and it is statistically significant (p<0.009) and it is statistically significant (p<0.007). Conclusion: From this study, we have concluded that patient with diabetes mellitus is at increased risk for common infections due to poor glycemic control and Obesity. Poor glycemic control suppresses the immunity and more prone for infection. Therefore, the challenges will be to attain good glycemic control, change in lifestyle to maintain normal BMI. This will prevent the morbimortality, reduce the long-term complication and maintenance to prolong the life without any sequele. More prospective case control studies on the management of infections in DM patients are needed. Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, infections, clinical profile, hba1c, glycemic control

Witanowski’s discovery - and how its early misinterpretation and subsequent neglect continue to impede scientific progress and insight
Authors: Schlauer Jan
Published: February 2022

W.R. Witanowski isolated and characterized the naphthoquinone ramentaceone from Drosera rotundifolia in 1934 and named the compound droserone. This constitutes the first publication that described the correct detailed structure of the main naphthoquinone in a sundew species, the first publication that identified ramentaceone as a natural product, and the first publication to introduce the name droserone for this naphthoquinone. Nevertheless, none of these facts is reflected appropriately in the literature until now. This prompts a reappraisal.

On Dipsacus and Drosera: Francis Darwin’s favorite carnivores
Authors: Schaefer John R.
Published: February 2022

In autumn of 1875, Francis Darwin was busy researching aggregation in the tentacles of Drosera rotundifolia. This phenomenon occurs when colored particles within either “protoplasm” or the fluid in the cell vacuole (the cell sap) cluster together. Charles Darwin had theorized in the book Insectivorous Plants that these aggregated cellular masses consisted of living protoplasm. Inspired by his investigation of Drosera, Francis set out to examine the cup-like receptacles formed by the leaves of Dipsacus fullonum (synonym D. sylvestris), commonly known as fuller’s teasel. Francis went on to suggest that the common teasel might be a carnivorous plant, acquiring nutrients from decaying insects drowned in its water-holding basins. Since then, other biologists have evaluated these claims with little experimental success. This paper provides a historical overview of Darwin’s experiments with Dipsacus based on extant correspondence, discussing his results in the context of later studies that examine this unusual adaptation.
Internationalizing Teacher Education: What is the Erasmus Exchange Program’s Contribution in Turkey?
Authors: Gurel Ezgi , Aslan Berna
Published: February 2022

This paper analyzes the effects of internationalization seen through the Erasmus program in teacher education programs. The study's importance is that teacher training is generally funded for local environments by state systems; subsequently teacher candidates have less opportunity for global curricula. One of Turkey's most vital tools for internationalization is the Erasmus exchange program. Thus, this study focuses on interviews with teacher candidates having international exchange experience and teacher educators involved as program coordinators in their own education faculties. Twelve participants from different teacher training areas at diverse universities were interviewed. The research findings reveal that students' social and cultural skills developed more than their academic competencies and professional teaching skills. Although the program makes an essential contribution to internationalization on both individual and institutional bases; we reveal that course selection problems, difficulties in academic recognition processes, foreign language problems, and the lack of possibility of taking the practicum course abroad have adverse effects on the process. This research addresses knowledge gaps in internationalization policy as teacher candidates, and teacher educators' voices are not heard in such initiatives. The study suggests that education faculties need solid foundations for internationalization efforts.

De Handels- en Samenwerkingsovereenkomst tussen de EU en het VK: partnerschap of conflictbeheersing?

De Handels- en samenwerkingsovereenkomst tussen de Europese Unie (en Euratom) en het Verenigd Koninkrijk is ondertekend op 30 december 2020 en op 1 mei 2021 formeel in werking getreden. Terwijl het Terugtrekkingsakkoord tussen de Europese Unie en het Verenigd Koninkrijk kan worden gezien als de ‘echtscheidingsovereenkomst’, die voornamelijk alle kwesties behandelt die verband houden met een ordelijke uittreding van het Verenigd Koninkrijk, legt de Handels- en samenwerkingsovereenkomst de basis voor een nieuwe relatie tussen de twee partijen. Deze relatie is niet langer gebaseerd op een lidmaatschap dat wordt bepaald door de supranationale rechtsorde van de Europese Unie, maar op een pragmatisch partnerschap op basis van internationaal publiekrecht, of, zoals sommige Britse vertegenwoordigers blijven benadrukken, een relatie tussen ‘soevereine gelijken’.

Mechanical properties of commercially available temporary pavement marking (TPM) tapes and thermoplastic materials used as permanent pavement markings (PPM) were investigated using the non-destructive Tape Drape Test and conventional mechanical testing. The impact of temperature and aging on the adhesion of TPM tapes and thermoplastic PPM applied to asphalt core surfaces with various surface roughness and treatments was determined using a modular peel fixture and shear adhesion tests. The adhesion of TPM tapes to model smooth surfaces decreased as surface temperature was increased from 0 to 40°C (32 to 104°F). For some tapes, reduced adhesion and brittle broken fracture were observed at the lowest investigated temperature of -20°C (-4°F). The adhesion of tapes applied to asphalt decreased significantly within 1 week of aging at -25°C (-13°F). Ghost markings were more likely at higher aging temperatures. For PPM thermoplastics, better adhesion to asphalt was observed for higher application temperatures and rougher surfaces. Asphalt emulsion treatments reduced the adhesion of thermoplastics and increased the likelihood of adhesive failure after 5 months of aging at -25°C (-13°F). More ductile PPM thermoplastic materials had better adhesion to both smooth and rough asphalt surfaces compared to thermoplastic materials with a more brittle mechanical response.
