This article studies the discoid Didacna sp. shell beads discovered at Kaylu, a Middle Holocene burial site located in Southern Turkmenistan. Microscopic, morphometric, spectrometric, and SEM analyses were carried out on the material to identify how the beads were manufactured and used. New radiocarbon dating and bioanthropological data to age and sex the two skeletons discovered in the burials are provided. A regional synthesis shows that personal ornaments from the Caspian region were diversified through time and that a stylistic shift between the last foragers and the first farmers occurred. We also observed strong correspondences between the personal ornaments documented in the northern, eastern, and western Caspian Sea during the Neolithic, with no evidence of similar symbolic production in Northern Iran. We propose that a northern route may have allowed the diffusion of common ornamental traditions in the Caspian region to the exclusion of the southern Caspian. Alternatively, discontinuities in material culture diffusion in coastal areas could be evidence of maritime voyaging. Seafaring may have granted the fast and spatially erratic diffusion of specific bead types, people, information, knowledge, and symbols from both sides of the Caspian Sea, by long maritime voyages or by leapfrog diffusion during the Neolithic.
A fundamental approach to determine the impact of aramid and carbon fibers on durability and tribological performance of different polymer composites demonstrated in gear transmission process
Authors: Hriberšek Matija , Kulovec Simon
Published: May 2023

When selecting a polymer or a reinforced polymer material for a specific drive technology, it is crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of the component’s operating characteristics, including the mechanics of tribological contact and the fatigue life of the materials used in gears. The choice of material plays a pivotal role in the gear running process, as it induces heat generation in the meshing zone and triggers flank wear progression along the high points of the teeth, which directly impacts the gear’s lifetime. This paper presents the results of durability testing conducted on steel/polymer gear pairs. The tested polymer materials were based on polyacetal and polyamide 66 chemical bases, reinforced with aramid, carbon fibers, and internally lubricated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The aim of the study was to evaluate the durability and thermal response of the materials and determine their correlation with flank wear rate progression. The results indicate that gears produced from polyacetal, and carbon-reinforced polyamide 66 materials exhibit the longest durability. Notably, the generated meshing temperatures are closely connected with flank wear propagation. The lowest wear coefficients were observed in gears produced from polyacetal and polyamide 66 materials reinforced with carbon fibers.

Objectives

The association between screen time and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been controversial. This study sheds light on the contentious correlation between screen time and ADHD.

Content

Until August 2022, electronic searches of the PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were carried out. The combined effect value odds ratios (OR) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were calculated for the meta-analysis using Stata 12.0. There were 81,234 children in the nine studies that made up this meta-analysis which included 28,997 children with ADHD and 52,237 healthy controls. When compared with the screen time <2  h/d, the OR (95 % CI) value of screen time and ADHD in the screen time ≥2 h/d group was 1.51 (1.20–1.90).

Summary and outlook

Based on the current meta-analysis results, our study found a positive correlation between screen time and the risk of ADHD. Excessive screen exposure may significantly contribute to the development of ADHD in children. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce screen time per day in children to prevent the occurrence of ADHD.
Marketing Journal Rankings: Active Scholar Assessment
Authors: Currie Russell , Pandher Gurupdesh , Voyer Peter
Published: May 2023

Journal rankings convey important information to researchers and influence processes related to promotion, remuneration, research funding, and resource allocation in academe. The present research uses direct responses from an international sample of 203 active marketing scholars in a web-based survey to endogenously rank 138 marketing journals by quality, awareness, and importance. We employ regression estimation with nested random journal-within-tier effects to comprehensively rank the marketing journals into four ordered tiers (A–D), and then in turn, subdivide journals in each tier, into “upper,” “middle,” and “lower” groups (e.g. Tier A: A+, A and A−). Our methodology, Active Scholar Assessment (ASA), produces an independent ranking of marketing journals that aggregates individual expert opinion regarding journals by researchers from 68 countries. Subsequently, we compare our ASA-developed marketing journal rankings and categories with prominent citation-based ranking systems (Scimago, Clarivate Analytics’ Journal Citation Reports, Association of Business Schools, and the Australian Business Deans Council) to demonstrate that the opinions of active scholars are comparatively more stable and capture additional information (that is not reflected by computations based solely on citations), and provide useful strategic information and direction to scholars.
Gender-based violence as a consequence of functional differentiation
Authors: Davis Corné
Published: May 2023

Gender-based violence (GBV) is the most prevalent form of violence that poses multiple threats to global sustainability, estimated at costing the global economy as much as $1.5 trillion annually (United Nations Women 2016). Despite increased research and intervention there has not been a significant reduction in global statistics. The objective of this article is to conceptualise GBV as a consequence of functional differentiation by drawing from Luhmann’s social systems theory and current reports published in news media in South Africa and globally. The key argument is that function systems exclude both victims and perpetrators of GBV through their binary coding, and that systems’ evolution determines the outcome, which is, in this case, the persistence and increase in GBV, more so in South Africa. As Luhmann further argues, world society “lacks the inherent rationality required” to facilitate change and given that human individuals cannot communicate, it is unlikely that successful GBV intervention can be planned or implemented because systems evolution cannot be planned. It is therefore most likely that the “unresolvable indeterminacies” of function systems will sustain GBV in their environments.
Systeme der GewaltParamilitarismus in Kolumbien
Authors: Paetau Michael
Published: May 2023

Der Beitrag verfolgt das Ziel, am Beispiel des seit über 70 Jahre andauernden Gewaltkonflikts in Kolumbien eine Analyse vorzulegen, die den Begriff der „Gewaltsysteme“ ins Zentrum stellt. Obwohl in der kolumbianischen Soziologie seit mehreren Jahrzehnten ein elaborierter Diskurs zur Gewaltfrage im Lande existiert, spielen systemtheoretische Ansätze hierbei bisher kaum eine Rolle. Konstitutiv für den von mir verwendeten Begriff der „Gewaltsysteme“ ist erstens der von von Foerster eingeführte Begriff der „Autologie“, den Luhmann bekanntlich für seinen an der System-/Umwelt-Differenz orientierten Systembegriff aufgreift, und zweitens die von Luhmann in den 1970er Jahren vorgelegte Unterscheidung von Macht und Gewalt. Hiermit geht es um die Frage, wieso Gewalt in einer Gesellschaft eine so große Rolle spielen kann, dass offensichtlich in Teilen der Gesellschaft hierfür zwar keine direkte Zustimmung, aber eine gewisse fatalistische Duldung festzustellen ist.
Effect of Anodizing on Very High Cycle Fatigue Properties of Aluminum Alloy A2014-T6 in Laboratory Air and 3 % NaCl Solution
Authors: Nakamura Yuki , Kikuchi Shoichi , Sakai Tatsuo
Published: May 2023

To examine the effect of oxide layer thickness on fatigue behavior, rotating bending fatigue tests were performed on the aluminum alloy A2014-T6 with oxide layers of 3 different thicknesses in laboratory air and 3 % sodium chloride (NaCl) solution over a wide cycle-life region (104–109 cycles). Tests were also conducted on untreated specimens for comparison. Based on the results of fatigue tests in laboratory air, deterioration of the fatigue strength was observed for anodized specimens having an oxide layer in comparison with untreated specimens. The fatigue strength of anodized specimens decreased with increasing oxide layer thickness. On the other hand, fatigue test results in 3 % NaCl solution showed that anodizing improved fatigue life, which increased with increasing oxide layer thickness. In addition, the thickness of the oxide layer was found to be important from the viewpoint of fracture mechanics.

Published: May 2023

Public health mitigation strategies for SARS-COV-2 are effective in limiting the spread of COVID-19; however, these restrictions can create gendered socioeconomic impacts and further isolate marginalized communities from essential resources. Our qualitative study aimed to understand the gendered effects of the COVID-19 lockdown on a population of women in Uganda with a history of prior obstetric fistula repair, a group experiencing greater vulnerability and less support due to intersecting stigmatized identities. We conducted in-depth interviews among 30 women with prior genital fistula and corrective fistula repair surgery at 3 hospitals in Southern Uganda. We found that COVID-19 lockdown measures caused both financial and health-related impacts in this community such as inaccessibility of healthcare and loss of income. Understanding these experiences should inform strategies to ensure equitable, future pandemic responses.
Religiosity and Risk among Politicians
Authors: Yadav Vineeta
Published: May 2023

Given their citizens’ religiosity, the presence of religious parties, and the salience of religion in the politics of India and Pakistan, it is likely that politicians in both of these countries vary considerably in how religious they are. How do these differences influence their political and policy choices? We know surprisingly little about this question. This paper uses data from survey experiments fielded to politicians in India (in 2019) and Pakistan (in 2018) to examine how religiosity is correlated with politicians’ risk-taking behaviors. Given that research finds they are correlated in citizens and the ubiquity of both risk and religion in politics, understanding this relationship is important. The experimental data reveal that in both countries highly religious and less religious politicians make very different choices on a risky policy decision. Highly religious politicians are risk-seeking in India but risk-averse in Pakistan. While the less religious politicians approximate rational actors, the highly religious politicians violate both rational actor and prospect theory decision-making models.
Public Preference for Strongman Rule in China
Authors: Guan Yue
Published: May 2023

After three decades of collective leadership, strongman rule has returned to China. But do the Chinese people prefer this political system, characterized by a leader with unchecked power? Using four waves of data from the World Values Survey, this study finds, first, that from 2001 to 2018, public preference for strongman rule in China was moderate compared to other countries. Second, the Chinese people expressed a growing desire for a strongman from 2001 to 2007 and again in 2012, but this desire did not increase further between 2012 and 2018. Third, in the 2000s, trust in the central government was negatively associated with strongman preference, while in the 2010s, perceptions of national crisis and political socialization became increasingly relevant. This study evaluates the degree, dynamics, and possible drivers of public preference for strongman rule in China and contributes to the understanding of political strongmen and their popular bases worldwide.
Explaining Anti-Immigrant Sentiment in Japan and How It Relates to Voting Decisions
Authors: Yin Yue
Published: May 2023

The salience of the immigration issue has increased in Japan due to the pressures of labor shortages and an aging population. However, little research has examined what predicts anti-immigrant sentiment and how it relates to the voting behavior of Japanese people. Using nationally representative survey data, this article digs deeper into public opinion on immigration by testing a variety of economic, social, and demographic variables associated with different dimensions of anti-immigrant sentiment. I find that whereas economic concerns are based on realistic assessments of job threats posed by immigration, cultural and security concerns are driven primarily by stereotypes of immigrants. Using this evidence, I examine the relationship between immigration attitudes and voting choice. Economic and security concerns about immigration are correlated with actual voting choices, but I see no evidence that cultural threats have a meaningful effect on Japanese voting decisions.
Moral Judgments Impact Perceived Risks From COVID-19 Exposure

Published: May 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic created enormously difficult decisions for individuals trying to navigate both the risks of the pandemic and the demands of everyday life. Good decision making in such scenarios can have life and death consequences. For this reason, it is important to understand what drives risk assessments during a pandemic, and to investigate the ways that these assessments might deviate from ideal risk assessments. In a preregistered online study of U.S. residents (N = 841) using two blocks of vignettes about potential COVID exposure scenarios, we investigated the effects of moral judgment, importance, and intentionality on COVID infection risk assessments. Results demonstrate that risk judgments are sensitive to factors unrelated to the objective risks of infection. Specifically, activities that are morally justified are perceived as safer while those that might subject people to blame or culpability, are seen as riskier, even when holding objective risk fixed. Similarly, unintentional COVID exposures are judged as safer than intentional COVID exposures. While the effect sizes are small, these findings may have implications for public health and risk communications, particularly if public health officials are themselves subject to these biases.
The Politburos of Communist Eastern Europe
Authors: Matthews Austin S.
Published: May 2023

Who comprised the political bureaus of the Eastern Bloc? There exists a wealth of literature on the former communist party elites, studying their personal biographies and group dynamics. However, we still lack an accessible resource cataloguing these individuals and documenting their personal and professional histories. This research note introduces new individual-level data on 787 candidate and full members from the ruling politburos of nine communist regimes across Eastern Europe. Along with compiling a centralized roster establishing who made up the politburos and at what times, I also code a range of descriptive variables for each elite, opening for better study of their comparative traits within and across space and time. These data are an important step toward more accessible documentation of the histories of ruling party elites in communist regimes, centralizing valuable information for future scholars to study, reference, and utilize.
“A Life of Suspicion and Distrust”
Authors: Larkin Thomas
Published: May 2023

On January 15, 1857, as the Second Opium War raged, bread distributed by the Esing bakery to Hong Kong’s Western community was doctored with a prodigious amount of arsenic. Few were seriously harmed, but the American trader Augustine Heard Jr. noted that the poisoning marked a great change in the Sino-American relationship. Although Americans were not involved in the Second Opium War, Heard’s comments suggest that, influenced by rumors and panic, the Sino-American relationship deteriorated as Americans increasingly saw themselves as members of a besieged white community. The Heards’ Hong Kong house is a reflection of this feeling of besiegement. This article places the 1857 Hong Kong poison panic within a broader atmosphere of colonial anxiety that increasingly led Americans in China to identify with the British at the expense of amicable Sino-American relations. It argues that the poison panic was one of a series of confrontations and minor panics between Hong Kong’s Chinese and Western communities that recalibrated how Americans in China perceived the Chinese and that such panics entrenched racial barriers between white and non-white colonial communities.
Embodied by the Steamships
Authors: Lee Minyong
Published: May 2023

This article surveys the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s transpacific steamship business during the six decades after its inauguration in 1867. The company played a crucial role in facilitating transpacific movements to and from the United States in a period leading up to U.S. colonization of the Philippines and other insular territories in the Pacific. By examining the company and government records, contemporary press coverage and pictorial images, and first-hand accounts of steamship travelers, I argue that the Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s operation of the transpacific ocean liners revealed the inherent tension within U.S. society’s dealings with the Pacific Ocean and a global empire. In the steamships’ physical space and cultural images, the elitist desires for transpacific commerce collided with popular demands against transpacific migration. The formal acquisition of colonial possessions across the Pacific and immigrant restrictions at the turn of the twentieth century would eventually domesticate, to a degree, the tension within the transpacific connections and redirect the company's business to enrich and exploit the new imperial connections.

Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG) still remains the only licensed vaccine for TB and has been shown to provide nonspecific protection against unrelated pathogens. This has been attributed to the ability of BCG to modulate the innate immune system, known as trained innate immunity (TII). Trained innate immunity is associated with innate immune cells being in a hyperresponsive state leading to enhanced host defense against heterologous infections. Both epidemiological evidence and prospective studies demonstrate cutaneous BCG vaccine‐induced TII provides enhanced innate protection against heterologous pathogens. Regardless of the extensive progress made thus far, the effect of cutaneous BCG vaccination against heterologous respiratory bacterial infections and the underlying mechanisms still remain unknown. Here, we show that s.c. BCG vaccine‐induced TII provides enhanced heterologous innate protection against pulmonary Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. We further demonstrate that this enhanced innate protection is mediated by enhanced neutrophilia in the lung and is independent of centrally trained circulating monocytes. New insight from this study will help design novel effective vaccination strategies against unrelated respiratory bacterial pathogens.

Published: May 2023

Pheochromocytoma and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors carrying 25–40% pathogenic germline gene variants (PGVs). We evaluated clinical, laboratory, and germline molecular profile of 115 patients with pathologic (14 patients were relatives from 8 different families recruited for genetic survey) confirmed PPGL followed in our institution. Patients with classic MEN2A/MEN2B phenotypes and at-risk relatives underwent direct analysis of RET proto-oncogene, and the remaining had samples submitted to complete next-generation sequencing aiming 23 PPGL-related genes: ATM, ATR, CDKN2A, EGLN1, FH, HRAS, KIF1B, KMT2D, MAX, MDH2, MERTK, MET, NF1, PIK3CA, RET, SDHA, SDHAF2, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, TP53, and VHL. We also developed a clinical judgment score (CJS) to determine the probability of patients having a potentially hereditary disease. The resulting genetic landscape showed that 67 patients (58.3%) had variants in at least one gene: 34 (50.7%) had exclusively pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants, 13 (19.4%) had pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants and variant of undetermined significance (VUS), and 20 (29.8%) carried only VUS. PGVs were found in RET (n = 18; 38.3%), VHL (n = 10; 21.3%), SDHB and NF1 (n = 8; 17% each), and MAX, SDHD, TMEM127, and TP53 (n = 1; 2.1% each). Direct genetic testing disclosed 91.3% sensitivity, 81.2% specificity, and 76.4% and 93.3% positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV), respectively. The CJS to identify patients who would not benefit from genetic testing had 75% sensitivity, 96.4% specificity, and 60% and 98.2% PPV and NPV, respectively. In summary, the landscape of PPGL germline gene variants from 115 Brazilian patients resulted in slightly higher prevalent pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants, especially in the RET gene. We suggest a CJS to identify PPGL patients who would not require initial genetic evaluation, improving test specificity and reducing costs.

“History teaching, national myths, and civil society”
Authors: Benziger Karl
Published: May 2023

One of the critical issues facing Historians today has been the emergence of Strong State regimes and the politicized pseudo history they produce in countries claiming to adhere to democratic norms. The attack on the Capital of the United States was based on a series of lies about voter fraud supported by President Donald Trump and members of Congress. Countering ideology based on a complete disregard for truth is now of paramount importance in the United States. This paper studies Trump's promise to Make America Great Again (MAGA) as a further evolution of Lost Cause mythos that began after the Civil War. The original story casts the enfranchisement of African Americans as a failure touting white supremacy and the righteousness of Jim Crow laws. How can History teachers counter these highly politicized myths? I suggest that the methodology of our profession may provide us with some important tools. John Dewey underscored the importance of critical inquiry to the preservation and advancement of democracy. Teaching students how to think historically goes a long way in the process of producing citizenry who are ready to participate in civil society. To that end I conclude this essay with a course that I teach entitled “Witches, Aliens, and Other Enemies.” The course is designed to set moments of mass hysteria and paranoia in the American narrative against the background of reason and rational legal law utilizing the Salem witch hunt at the end of the seventeenth century and the “red scare” following World War II as case studies to stimulate student exploration.

Published: May 2023

In order to maximize revenue and profit, company management decides on manufacturing costs and selling prices during the production process. In order to determine the correct expenses, which are incurred during the production process and demonstrate the true cost of items, the manager of the production department must examine production costs. The variable costing method and the full costing method are two techniques used in cost accounting to determine manufacturing costs. In order for Abadi Sentosa to estimate the selling price of per-unit mebeul items, it is necessary to analyze how production expenses are calculated. The activities of this company, which manufactures cabinets, are carried out through a number of manufacturing procedures, allowing the production costs to be factored into the price of the product sold. The quantity of the production costs will be utilized to calculate the selling price of the goods. This study also examines if the cabinet product calculations, made using the current complete costing method, have complied with all requirements. Utilizing sales data for 8 units of 3-door ornamental cabinets with a cost of Rp. 2,202,700 and a unit selling price of Rp. 2,700,000, the results of establishing the cost of items manufactured using the company's full costing approach and the real full costing were compared. A 3-door decorative cabinet costs Rp 17,621,600 in total to produce, including Rp 8,000,00 for raw materials, Rp 5,120,000 for direct labor, Rp 4,304,080 for factory overhead, and Rp 175,920 for non-production costs. The profit was Rp 21,600,000 minus Rp 17,621,600, or Rp 3,978,400, assuming all 8 of the 3-door decorative cabinets—which cost Rp 2,700,000 each—were sold. Descriptive analysis is the analysis technique employed. These findings demonstrate that the corporation does not account for expenses such indirect labor costs, electricity prices, property taxes, and building depreciation in accordance with the full costing principle.

This study aims to examine cultural and social identities associated with regional specialties and the consumption behavior of Muslim communities in Indonesia during the month of Ramadan. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The results of the study show that regional specialties play an important role in the cultural and social identity of the Indonesian people, especially during the month of Ramadan. This can be seen from the consumption patterns of the people who prioritize regional specialties as the main menu when breaking the fast. In addition, regional specialties are also a medium for maintaining and developing cultural and social values that exist in society. This research also shows that cultural and social identities associated with regional specialties have influence on the consumption behavior of Muslim communities in Indonesia during the month of Ramadan. This can be seen from the tendency of people to prefer regional specialties that are in accordance with their cultural and religious values, as well as the desire to strengthen identity as part of a particular social group.
Dental professionals’ role perceptions in relation to periodontal (gum) disease explanations

Published: May 2023

Objective: To use a discourse analysis approach to identify salient features in the lived experiences of dental professionals in relation to explaining periodontal (gum) disease to patients. Methods: Interview data from 13 UK-trained and three internationally-trained dental professionals was examined using thematic discourse analysis. The first stage (discourse analysis) focused on the identification of language patterns in the interview data. This stage forms the focus of this paper. Findings: Six discourse categories (Clinician, Mentor, Educator, Collaborator, Rapport Builder, Professional) were identified that related to the participants’ perceived professional roles. The categories were associated with differing worldviews and language use patterns, but with some overlap. All interviewees used a variety of discourse categories in their accounts, but a few relied predominantly on one category, e.g., Clinician or Mentor. Conclusions: The local discourse categories identified in this study reflect broader discourses in healthcare relating to the roles of providers and patients, which have evolved through time. Practice implications: Practising dental professionals are faced with a diverse range of patients who have different communication preferences. A suite of discourse categories can act as a ‘toolbox’ that dental professionals can flexibly draw on when needing to adopt a role that could predispose a particular patient to positive oral health behaviour change.
Mind maps and metacognition in writing pedagogies
Authors: Eaton Christopher
Published: May 2023

This paper reconsiders the common use of mind maps as only a brainstorming tool that occurs before writing. The paper contemplates how mind mapping can be a useful pedagogical strategy throughout the writing process, not just at the beginning. The metacognitive benefits of mind mapping can support writers at all stages of their writing. Mind mapping can make their thinking overt and allow writers to make new connections throughout their revisions. The paper draws on an intrinsic case study (Stake, 2005) of sixteen first-year writing students who used mind maps at the beginning of their research papers and again as they grappled with feedback to re-design their drafts for submission. Students reported that, while the initial mind map had limited benefits on their writing, the second mind map acted as a vehicle for them to make connections between their draft, their feedback, and their next steps as writers. This second map offered a liminal space in which students could dwell with their feedback, make their thinking visible, and strategize how they could implement that feedback to make their writing stronger. The paper offers a new look at how teachers can use mind mapping to enhance students’ writing processes.

Las representaciones artísticas de la Edad del Hierro identificadas en el Parque Arqueológico del Vale do Côa (PAVC) carecen de contextos de ocupación asociados, es decir, de los contextos estratigráficos necesarios para un marco cronológico e interpretativo. Ante la ausencia de evidencias de hábitat protohistórico en el entorno inmediato de los grabados, se buscó analizar otros yacimientos de la región en los que hubiera indicios de ocupación de la Edad del Hierro. Así, en el ámbito del proyecto RARAA - Repositorio Abierto de Arte Rupestre, financiado por el FCT COA/OVD/0097/2019, seleccionamos el yacimiento del Alto das Malhadas para realizar una intervención diagnóstica, debido a su relativa proximidad a la desembocadura del río Côa, asociada a la presencia de paneles rocosos con grabados, un guijarro con grabados incisos «protohistóricos» y materiales cerámicos artesanales.

En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de esta intervención arqueológica, en la que el yacimiento del Alto das Malhadas, se ha revelado como uno de los más interesantes del nordeste de Portugal para la caracterización de la transición entre el III y el II milenio a. C. y para la comprensión de las claves de transición del Calcolítico regional a una Edad del Bronce cada vez más vinculada a la dinámica de asentamiento desarrollada en la Meseta.

La diversidad ambiental de México ha permitido el desarrollo de diferentes formas silvestres y cultivadas de tomate cuyos frutos se comercializan local y regionalmente en diferentes estados del país. Este trabajo se realizó con el objetivo fue evaluar la calidad agronómica de 23 poblaciones de tomate nativo de México y dos comerciales como testigo, establecidas en condiciones de invernadero y campo abierto. Esta investigación se hizo en el Colegio de Postgraduados, Campus Montecillo, Texcoco, Estado de México, de febrero a junio de 2018. Las poblaciones nativas de tomate se obtuvieron del centro y sur de México; donde se evaluaron variables agronómicas y calidad de fruta. Los resultados muestran que las poblaciones de tomate fueron más afectadas por el factor variedad, en las variables: número de frutos, diámetro polar y ecuatorial, y número de lóculos; el ambiente produjo el mayor efecto en: altura de planta, número de hojas, peso de fruto, rendimiento y grosor de pericarpio. La interacción de variedad por ambiente afectó al número de frutos en mayor proporción. Cabe destacar que bajo condiciones protegidas y de campo abierto el genotipo nativo G3 generó el mayor rendimiento, con 4.4 kg/planta en invernadero y 2.8 kg/planta en campo. El rendimiento promedio en invernadero fue mayor en un 131 % comparado con el de campo abierto. En conclusión, se pudo observar que los materiales evaluados se adaptaron bien a un sistema de producción bajo condiciones protegidas, ocasionando que el rendimiento y la calidad de fruta incrementara.
Z Kazachstanu nad Morze Czerwone. Sacha Baron Cohen poza marginesem poprawności politycznej

The main issue of the article is the analysis of the films by Sasha Baron Cohen in the context of political correctness. The fictional characters created by the director have their counterparts in the real world, but those counterparts are usually forced out of the public debate due to their controversial nature. Distance is created by Cohen with the use of comedy, which is the least serious film genre. He does not moralise; instead, he exposes attitudes which still exist: chauvinism, racism, and anti-Semitism. His works can be considered influential and, thus, may cause lasting political effects. Cohen proves that art can affect politics. Therefore, his movies can be a subject of both cultural and political studies.

Published: May 2023

Aim. To evaluate the detection rate of carotid artery stenosis (CAS) based on the diagnosis code according to the International Clas­sification of Diseases of 10th revision (ICD-10), used in appointment card for carotid duplex ultrasound.

Material and methods. To conduct this study, the Duplex-2013 registry database was used, which sequentially included 2548 patients. When referring to carotid duplex ultrasound, all patients indicated the ICD-10 diagnosis code as the main reason for seeking medical help. The study assessed the presence and severity of CAS, the probability of CAS, taking into account age, sex, and referral diagnosis according to ICD-10.

Results. According to the results of a univariate analysis, the following referral diagnoses were associated with the identification of CAS by two criteria (stenosis ≥20 and ≥50%): generalized/peripheral atherosclerosis (GPA) — odds ratio (OR), 6,54; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2,71-18,89 (p<0,001) and OR, 11,91; 95% CI: 6,17-22,75 (p<0,001), postinfarction cardiosclerosis — OR, 5,63; 95% CI: 2,62-13,6 (p<0,001) and OR, 3,08; 95% CI: 1,39-6,28 (p=0,004), CAS — OR, 3,26; 95% CI: 2,08-5,27 (p<0,001) and OR, 2,29; 95% CI: 1,25-3,96 (p=0,006) and hypertension, OR, 2,2; 95% CI: 1,87-2,58 (p<0,0001) and OR, 1,45; 95% CI: 1,07-1,97 (p=0,02). Taking into account age and sex, the probability of CAS detection (>20%) is associated with HTN — OR, 1,43; 95% CI: 1,19-1,71 (p<0,001), postinfarction cardiosclerosis — OR, 2,89; 95% CI: 1,20-6,94 (p=0,01) and GPA — OR, 4,52; 95% CI: 1,65-12,35 (p=0,003); CAS >50% — acute myocardial infarction — OR, 8,45; 95% CI: 1,32-53,97 (p=0,02) and GPA — OR, 9,82; 95% CI: 4,81-20,04 (p<0,001).

Conclusion. Certain groups of referral diagnoses (ICD-10 codes) are associated with a higher probability of CAS. The obtained data needs to be refined in order to optimize routing and referral for carotid duplex ultrasound.

Aim. To compare the efficacy and safety of chemical cardioversion (CCV) with refralon and amiodarone in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibril­lation and flutter (AF/AFL).

Material and methods. Fifty five patients (mean age, 65±11 years) with paroxysmal AF/AFL were included. All patients underwent a preliminary examination to rule out contraindications to CCV. Further, patients were randomized into groups of refralon (n=30) and amiodarone (n=28), respectively. CCV with refralon was carried out as follows: administration in doses of 5-5-10-10 µg/kg at intervals of 15 minutes. Patients of the second group were intravenously injected with amiodarone at a dose of 5 mg/kg of body weight for 20-60 minutes, depending on the drug tolerability. If AF/AFL persists after 60 minutes, infusion of amio­darone 100 mg/hour until restoration of sinus rhythm (SR) or reaching a dose of 1200 mg/day. Treatment efficacy was assessed by SR reco­very, absence of AF/AFL recurrence, and arrhythmia relief time, and safety was assessed by detection of ventricular arrhythmogenic effects, bradyarrhythmias, blood pressure reduction, and QT interval prolongation. The follow-up period lasted 24 hours.

Results. SR was restored in 96,7% (n=29) of patients in the refralon group, of which 56,7% (n=17) after a dose of 5 mcg/kg. In the amio­darone group, SR was restored in 57,1% (n=16) of patients (p<0,001). The arrhythmia relief time in the refralon group was 14 [7;23] min, while in the amiodarone group — 150 [82;240] min (p<0,001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of bradyarrhythmias, lowering blood pressure, and QT prolongation in the groups.

Conclusion. Refralon demonstrates a higher efficiency and lower time to AF/AFL relief compared with amiodarone, while in most patients, SR recovery occurs after the administration of the lowest doses, which ensures CCV safety.
