Media Coverage of COVID-19 Mobile Phone Surveillance as a Non-Commemorative Site of Nazi Germany and Holocaust Remembrance
Authors: Yadlin Aya , Marciano Avi
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: As part of its efforts to battle the spread of COVID-19, the Israel Security Agency (ISA, or the Shin Bet ) has been authorized under Israeli Defense Emergency Regulations to track citizens' mobile phone geolocations. This case became a fertile ground for multiple stakeholders negotiating the image and role of digital technologies within socio-political exigencies. One important arena in which these discussions took place was Israeli news outlets. A thematic analysis of 155 news items from Ynet, Ha'aretz, Walla , and Mako revealed competing frames that legitimized or criticized ISA mobile phone surveillance. One of these frames employed the memory of the Holocaust as an interpretive locus for unpacking surveillance practices and their outcomes. In this article, we show how invoking the collective memory of the Holocaust became a journalistic tool for unpacking current events (and specifically those related to digital media), enhancing their value, and stressing their weight where a national persona is imagined in times of a global crisis.

Child’s Play, Imagination, and Precarious Innocence in Gloria Susana Esquivel’s Animales del fin del mundo
Authors: Hunt Mai
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This study examines Colombian author Gloria Susana Esquivel’s novel Animales del fin del mundo (2017). Narrated in first-person in the past tense, the novel follows seven-year-old Inés as she navigates an austere home life while also attempting to understand the urban violence that punctuates her affluent neighborhood amidst Colombia’s decades-long internal armed conflict. Caught in familial strife, yet unable to escape her home, Inés must keep to herself, often inventing imaginary friends and games to play in the absence of others. This study analyzes her invention of alter egos serving during child’s play as vehicles of self-discovery allowing her to play, converse, and find herself both literally and figuratively. Her relationship with child’s play, however, is complicated when Inés meets María, the housekeeper’s granddaughter. Though Inés initially idolizes María, admiration slowly turns to jealousy and rivalry, with their child’s play feeding Inés’s exploration of prejudice, greed, and pride. This study thus explores how Inés comes into her own voice as she begins to articulate expressions of class struggle and socioeconomic disparity between her and María through animal symbology, allowing Esquivel to push the boundaries of conventional notions of childhood innocence and female docility.
Unir un cuerpo roto: la poesía y los poetas en la revista Encuentro de la Cultura Cubana (1996–2009)
Authors: Rodríguez Gutiérrez Milena
Published: September 2024

Abstract: This article deals with the presence of poetry and poets in the exiled magazine Encuentro de la Cultura Cubana , directed by Jesús Díaz, and published in Madrid from 1996 to 1999. The article takes a tour of the various issues of the publication to approach the space dedicated to poetry and the tribute made to authors such as Gastón Baquero, Dulce María Loynaz, Roque Dalton, Heberto Padilla, Eliseo Diego, Fina García Marruz, Rafael Alcides, among others. Based on these texts, and also appealing to the novel by Jesús Díaz Las palabras perdidas (1992), and one of its protagonists El Rojo, the role played by poetry and poets in the magazine is traced. This function would be twofold: on the one hand, to unite that broken body and divided what is the island of Cuba and, on the other, to highlight the total disagreement between poetry and politics.
"Una Gringuita en México": Janet Riesenfeld, Gender, and Writing Transnationalism in Mexican Cinema (1938–1965)
Authors: Labbato Maria
Published: September 2024

Abstract: US-born Janet Riesenfeld (1914–1998), known in Mexico as Raquel Rojas (the actress) and Janet Alcoriza (the screenwriter), was an important figure of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema and participant in the Spanish Republicans' cultural production in exile in Mexico. Despite collaborating on at least eighty screenplays between 1946 and 1965, including one entitled Una Gringuita en México (1951), she is mentioned only briefly in the studies of her Spanish exiled associates: second husband Luis Alcoriza (1918–1992) and Surrealist Luis Buñuel (1900–1983). It is during a period of increased national film production in Mexico that Riesenfeld created a niche as an American woman importing Spanish images while disrupting cultural fixities in Mexican popular culture. Building on transnational and mobility studies, this article employs historical biography and transcultural frameworks of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema to illuminate more fully foreign women's productions to Mexican cultural life and the contributions of the European exile community. Integrating reviews, journalism, and analysis of film, it suggests how aspects of Riesenfeld's identity were woven into the screenplays developed by the couple, known as the "Alcorizas," and perhaps contributed to their success. This study adds to the conversation of the transnational peculiarities of cinema by arguing that the screenwriting team parodied notions of cultural authenticity when the film industry applied greater national protections, and that despite sexism, Riesenfeld negotiated creative space as a woman and a foreigner. Riesenfeld's multifaceted entrance into the Mexican film industry provides a biographical case study of the various transnational and gendered dynamics of the war and postwar periods in film production, namely in writing.

Published: September 2024

In an era marked by pervasive digital connectivity, cybersecurity concerns have escalated. The rapid evolution of technology has led to a spectrum of cyber threats, including sophisticated zero-day attacks. This research addresses the challenge of existing intrusion detection systems in identifying zero-day attacks using the CIC-MalMem-2022 dataset and autoencoders for anomaly detection. The trained autoencoder is integrated with XGBoost and Random Forest, resulting in the models XGBoost-AE and Random Forest-AE. The study demonstrates that incorporating an anomaly detector into traditional models significantly enhances performance. The Random Forest-AE model achieved 100% accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC), outperforming the methods proposed by Balasubramanian et al., Khan, Mezina et al., Smith et al., and Dener et al. When tested on unseen data, the Random Forest-AE model achieved an accuracy of 99.9892%, precision of 100%, recall of 99.9803%, F1 score of 99.9901%, and MCC of 99.8313%. This research highlights the effectiveness of the proposed model in maintaining high accuracy even with previously unseen data.
A conceptual evolution and multifaceted concept of design: From historical definitions to modern perspectives and its integration with fashion
Authors: Gjoni Ariana , Statovci Aferdita , Mulaku Luan
Published: September 2024

This article explores the evolution and diverse interpretations of ‘design’ throughout history, emphasizing its broader implications beyond mere aesthetics. Initially a verb in the English language during the 1500s, design encompasses a range of activities from thought and planning to the creation and execution of artefacts. The work challenges narrow perceptions, highlighting design’s role across various domains as identified by Terence Love, who views it as a set of instructions for realization. The discourse extends to the discipline of design, asserting that all human activity inherently involves design, thus blurring the distinctions between design and daily life. The article also delves into fashion design, tracing its historical significance and the transition from individual craftsmanship to mass production, and the subsequent rise of different fashion genres. Additionally, the relationship between design and style is scrutinized, noting the influence of societal and cultural factors on fashion. The article concludes with an examination of aesthetics in design, underscoring the essential balance between functionality and visual appeal in successful design outcomes.

Affirmative Actions for Indigenous Peoples in Higher Education
Authors: Pinto Danilo Cézar Souza , Jesus Franscislena Cerqueira de
Published: September 2024

The implementation of affirmative action policies in Brazilian universities is completing 20 years. In the last decade, the Indigenous presence in these universities has grown more than five-fold, particularly in private institutions. However, it is public universities that have been providing specific places for Indigenous individuals and, consequently, discussing ways to identify these populations and assist in their admission so they can enjoy this right. This article proposes an appraisal of this policy based on official data, reflecting on the identification mechanisms promoted by universities and presenting new demands in the current context of Indigenous presence in higher education institutions.

Goal: Objective focuses on development and application of an architecture for measuring the performance of legacy equipment through its connection to the cloud.
Methodology: The research was approached by the Design Science Research (DSR) method, which focuses on the development and evaluation of the application of the artifact (legacy equipment performance measurement system) through its technological base.
Results: Both in the development and in the evaluation of the application of the system architecture in a real manufacturing system, the results were satisfactory through the accuracy obtained of 86% in the measurement carried out. Regarding equipment performance measurement, the measured index achieved an OEE of 27% efficiency, which is considered low compared to the average of companies with world-class manufacturing. It is concluded that the results made it possible to verify the reliability of the information generated by the architecture of the application system and to measure the performance of the equipment through its applicability in a real manufacturing scenario with a focus on manufacturing management.
Search limitations: The development of this research is limited to the application architecture for measuring performance for bread production line.
Practical Implications: The cloud architecture contextualizes the use of IIoT technologies (sensors, devices, among others) through cloud application architecture and how this has been transforming the industry and helping in the management of manufacturing operations.
Originality / Value: This research underscores the efficacy of a customized integration approach for leveraging existing technologies. While cloud-based Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions are readily available, this work transcends the limitations of off-the-shelf options by tailoring the architecture to the specific requirements of a real-world production line. This focus on customization enables the architecture to be adapted to a broad spectrum of legacy equipment and production lines across diverse industries, thereby unlocking the full potential of IIoT technologies. Consequently, this research demonstrates the replicability of the proposed methodology for various manufacturing scenarios.
Strategies for Sustainable Water Management
Authors: Salih Ata O. , Al-Manmi Diary A.
Published: September 2024

Groundwater in the Rania basin, Iraqi Kurdistan region, has been under intensive exploitation in the last two decades, where quantity and quality are both affected. Hence, any attempt to protect the aquifers has become an urgent need. Saruchawa, Qulai Rania, and Qulai Kanimaran are the three large springs, among dozens of others in the area, that are heavily relied on as the sole or main source of water supply. Hydrochemical analysis, the first and most practical step to evaluating the water quality, was carried out through 60 water samples collected from 13 springs and 17 wells in both dry and wet seasons (October 2018 and May 2019). Laboratory results show a high calcium bicarbonate concentration with weak acids’ dominance. Protection zones are delineated for these springs using aquifer susceptibility to contamination and analysis of the recession part of the spring curves. The equivalent relationship between the protection factor (Fp) produced by the Epikarst, protective cover, infiltration condition, and Karst network development mapping method and the groundwater protection zone (S) is considered. Qulai Rania and Kanimaran Springs are mapped to be in S2 (a highly vulnerable area), whereas Saruchawa Spring is located in S1 (very highly vulnerable). Based on the second method results (recession curve analyses), all three selected springs fall under the (D-type) vulnerability category. As a result, the immediate protection zone was going to be surrounded by the inner protection zone, and both are enclosed within the outer protection zone, which covers the remainder of the catchment area.

Currently available analytical methods enable identification, detection and characterization of circulating tumour cells in the peripheral blood and disseminated tumour cells in the bone marrow of breast cancer patients. About 0.01 % of the circulating tumour cells observed in the blood are able to form metastases. Therefore, they could be used for estimation of the risk for metastatic relapse, as a diagnostic tool for patient stratification, early determination of the therapy failure, or potential risk of resistance to the given therapeutic intervention. New therapeutic molecular targets could be identified for management of cancer patients using circulating tumour cell detection. The following review summarizes introduced methods of circulating tumour cell detection and their possible application in clinics.

Profile and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of bacteria isolated from effluents of Kolladiba and Debark hospitals
Authors: Jiru Tamene Milkessa , Ayanaw Ewunetu
Published: September 2024

This study aimed to investigate the presence of antibiotic susceptibility patterns and bacterial profiles of some multi-drug-resistant bacteria isolated from the effluents of Kolladiba and Debark Hospitals. Sixteen samples were collected from Kolladiba and Debark Hospitals in North Gondar, Ethiopia, to investigate the presence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. To assess susceptibility patterns, well-isolated bacterial colonies were subjected to seven antibiotics. The selected resistant isolates were characterized using morphological and biochemical tests. Plasmid DNA analysis of the isolates was also performed. Out of a total of 28 bacterial isolates, 12 were found to be multi-drug resistant. Among the tested antibiotics, erythromycin was the most resistant antibiotic, while novobiocin was the most effective antibiotic. A plasmid profile study of the isolates revealed both the presence and absence of plasmids. The number of plasmids ranged from zero to four, with plasmid sizes of 100, 900, 1,000, 1,400, 1,500, and 1,800 base pairs. This study concluded that effluents from both hospitals have high number of multi-drug-resistant isolates. The genes responsible for multi-drug resistance in bacterial isolates under this study could be either plasmid-mediated or chromosomal DNA-mediated. The presence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria in these effluents should not be overlooked.

Brauchen wir ein (sektorspezifisches) Monopolisierungsverbot? – Eine kritische Analyse des Anwendungsbereichs und der konzeptionellen Grundlagen der „Anti-Tipping“-Regelung des § 20 Abs. 3a GWB
Authors: Fuchs Andreas
Published: September 2024

Mit der 10. GWB-Novelle hat der deutsche Gesetzgeber erstmals eine Vorschrift eingeführt, die sich unmittelbar gegen die Erlangung einer marktbeherrschenden Stellung richtet: § 20 Abs. 3a GWB soll das drohende „Kippen“ (sog. Tipping) eines Marktes in ein kaum noch angreifbares (Quasi-)Monopol verhindern. Der neue Eingriffstatbestand beschränkt sich auf mehrseitige Märkte und Netzwerke i. S. d. § 18 Abs. 3a GWB und ist damit in gewisser Weise sektorspezifisch. Inhaltlich knüpft er an Verhaltensweisen an, welche die eigenständige Erzielung von Netzwerkeffekten durch Wettbewerber behindern, sofern dadurch die „ernstliche Gefahr“ begründet wird, dass „der Leistungswettbewerb in nicht unerheblichem Maße eingeschränkt wird“. Die Norm ist formuliert als spezieller Anwendungsfall des horizontalen Behinderungsverbots des § 20 Abs. 3 Satz 1 GWB. Der folgende Beitrag analysiert, inwiefern sich § 20 Abs. 3a GWB tatsächlich friktionsfrei in das herkömmliche System der Missbrauchsvorschriften für marktstarke Unternehmen einfügt und auch einen substantiellen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Missbrauchsaufsicht leistet. Dabei wird auch der Frage nachgegangen, ob ein derart beschränktes Monopolisierungsverbot überhaupt notwendig ist und die ihm zugedachte Funktion erfüllen kann oder ob ggf. die Einführung eines allgemeinen Monopolisierungsverbots nach dem Vorbild des US-amerikanischen Rechts (Sec. 2 Sherman Act) sinnvoll erscheint.
“DRAMA ON THE HUNT” BY ANTON CHEKHOV AS ALEXANDER OSTROVSKY’S HYBRID HYPERTEXT
Authors: Kibalnik Sergey
Published: September 2024

The article is based on the material of the first major prose work of A. P. Chekhov — his “newspaper” detective novel “Drama on the Hunt” (1884–1885). The novel is a parody stylization not only for Western European and Russian detective literature of that time, but also for Russian literary classics. One of the objects of this stylization is the dramaturgic works of A. N. Ostrovsky. The article contains an analysis of specific textual representations of Chekhov’s stylization of Ostrovsky’s most famous plays, such as “Without a Dowry” and partly “The Thunderstorm.” The main character of the “Drama on the Hunt,” Sergei Kamyshev, can be discerned as a hybrid based on the features, on the one hand, of the hero of Dostoevsky’s novel “Demons” by Nikolai Stavrogin (and partly Rodion Raskolnikov from “Crime and Punishment”), and on the other hand, the character of “Without a Dowry” — Sergei Paratov. The main heroine of Chekhov’s novel, Olga, is primarily correlated with the heroine of “Without a Dowry” Larisa. Thus, the article examines the correlation of elements of parody and stylization in these images and in Chekhov’s novel in general, as well as the place held by Ostrovsky’s plays and some other works of Russian classical literature in the intertextual sphere of “Drama on the Hunt.”
The Image of a Book in the Artistic Prose by V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin
Authors: Suzryukova Elena
Published: September 2024

. The article examines the semantics of the image of a book in the short stories of V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin and his short novel “The Road Staff.” The author, as the bearer of the Orthodox worldview, relies on the tradition of ancient Russian literature, whose ideological foundation was the Holy Scripture. The book appears in the works of the writer precisely as a sacred image: the Bible or its part — the Gospel — a collection of liturgical texts, a patristic creation. Readings from these books are included in the context of episodes related to the divine service or the pious home life of the characters of V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin. The book also acts as a source of comprehension of the beauty of the Church Slavonic word. In addition, in the artistic consciousness of the prose writer, the image of a book is embodied in a metaphorical way (the short story “Love is the Book of God”) as a sign of the character’s introduction to the spiritual world, his inner transformation. In the short story “The Ancient Book,” the spiritual history of both an individual family and an entire country is transmitted through notes left in the Bible: from former piety to neglect and blasphemy (in Soviet times). In the rosary texts of V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin, who describe the life already in post-revolutionary Russia, there is hope for its coming spiritual revival, which is associated, in particular, with the image of the Gospel. It and other items required for the performance of divine services and Sacraments are carried by priests traveling along Russian roads. The Gospel word in the short story “The Sun is playing” turns an atheist into a believing Christian in the process of reading the sacred text. In the works of V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin a book is one of the ways to God, giving comfort to the heart.
Artistic Understanding of the Category of Conciliarity in the Prose of Russian Abroad About the Age of Social Cataclysms in the Beginning of the 20th Century (I. S. Shmelyov, I. A. Bunin, B. K. Zaitsev, L. F. Zurov, V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin)
Authors: Zakharova Victoria , Kudryavtseva Irina
Published: September 2024

The category of conciliarity is one of the most important in the Russian national identity. The purpose of this article is to study the originality of artistic understanding of the category of conciliarity in the works of I. A. Bunin, I. S. Shmelev, B. K. Zaitsev, L. F. Zurov, V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin, dedicated to the events of pre-revolutionary and post-revolutionary years in Russia, when the thousand-year-old foundations of national spiritual identity were rapidly and dramatically destroyed. The analysis made it possible to discover a wide variety of distinctive individual features in the poetics of each artist’s works that allow to introduce these texts into the “big time” chronotope. The artistic consciousness of I. S. Shmelev is characterized by an explicit expression of feelings and emotional states of the characters; plot situations in which the direct actions and statements of the characters reveal the essence of the phenomena being comprehended are significant. In I. A. Bunin’s and B. K. Zaitsev’s works, plot circumstances often have a subtextual, associative, symbolic meaning, expressing a sense of personal involvement in ancient spiritual traditions. It was not for nothing that L. F. Zurov was considered a student of I. A. Bunin: his poetics has similar features. However, at the same time, the author’s “open” intonations are inherent in it. In V. A. Nikiforov-Volgin, the originality of artistic thinking in comprehending the problem of the existence of the conciliarity tradition in Russian life, despite the most severe vicissitudes, is often articulated in expressively colored dramatic plot situations. However, the leitmotiv basis of his texts makes itself felt along with the parable manner of understanding reality. Thus, using the works of famous writers of the first-wave Russian emigration as examples, the “living life” of the natural conciliar self-awareness of the Russian people is revealed, helping them to preserve their faith and survive despite difficult trials.
“THE TRUTH IS NOT TRANSMITTED!”: EXPRESSION, UNDERSTANDING AND DIALOGUE IN V. F. ODOEVSKY’S NOVEL “RUSSIAN NIGHTS”
Authors: Sytina Yuliya
Published: September 2024

The article examines the problems of expression, understanding and dialogue in the works of V. Odoevsky. The writer emphasized the importance and originality of his thoughts about this in a letter to A. Kraevsky. Odoevsky understood language broadly, as a semiotic system. Natural sciences, history, art have their own languages. The writer gave preference to the language of art and emphasized the superiority of the microcosm over the macrocosm, and of intuitive, creative knowledge over rational knowledge. Being a lybomudr, Odoevsky dreamed of creating an “ideal” language common to all sciences, but he soon became disillusioned with this idea. In the 1830s, the writer moved away from philosophical abstractions to the individual and unique. At the same time, he noted the universality of the language of art and especially music. In the novel “Russian Nights” Odoevsky comes close to the problems of expression and awareness of the “inexpressible” in words. The form of the novel actualizes this issue, since it is largely structured as a dialogue between friends who express their innermost thoughts, but often encounter misunderstanding or cold irony from their rational interlocutors. According to Odoevsky, the path to a genuine statement, as well as to its understanding, lies in the realm of the spirit: only a pure heart and prayer will help a person fully express his thought and understand another. Odoevsky’s philosophy of language is rooted in German classical philosophy, medieval Western European mysticism and the Orthodox patristic tradition.
Exploring the role of pyridoxal kinase: a key player in vitamin B6 metabolism

Published: September 2024

Cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases to treat, demanding innovative approaches to combat its complexity and heterogeneity. In recent years, Pyridoxal kinase (PDXK), a critical enzyme in the vitamin B6 metabolic pathway, has emerged as a promising target in the pursuit of effective cancer therapies. PDXK, responsible for phosphorylating vitamin B6 to its active forms, plays a pivotal role in various cellular processes, including DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and immune regulation. Dysregulation of PDXK expression has been implicated in cancer, contributing to tumorigenesis and progression. Recent advances in small molecule inhibitors and activators targeting PDXK have showcased their potential to alter cancer cell behavior. These molecules hold promise not only as standalone treatments but also as adjuvants to conventional therapies, augmenting their efficacy. Moreover, PDXK modulation has a profound impact on tumor metabolism. By perturbing vitamin B6 homeostasis, it disrupts the bioenergetics and redox balance within cancer cells, rendering them vulnerable to therapeutic intervention. Combining PDXK modulation with existing cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy, offers the tantalizing prospect of synergistic treatment approaches, potentially enhancing therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects. This review explores the therapeutic potential of PDXK modulation as a novel strategy in the battle against cancer.
Haemodynamic Effects of Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitor Treatment in Chronic Heart Failure Patients
Authors: Nilsson C Noah , Ersbøll Mads Kristian , Gustafsson Finn
Published: September 2024

Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) are now recommended in the current European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology guidelines for the treatment of heart failure (HF) across the spectrum of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and several large trials have documented the beneficial effects of this drug class on cardiovascular outcomes. Although the clinical efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibition in HF is now well recognised, research is still ongoing to better understand the underlying mechanistic effects of this drug class. In this paper we assess the haemodynamic effects following SGLT-2i treatment in HF patients by reviewing the current literature. We focus our review on preload of the LV in terms of filling pressure and pulmonary artery pressure, cardiac output and afterload. We discuss these variables stratified according to HF with reduced LVEF (HFrEF) and HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF). Finally, we examine the evidence of LV remodelling in the setting of SGLT-2i-related changes in haemodynamics.
