Authors: Pighi Laura , Negrini Davide , Henry Brandon M. , Salvagno Gian Luca , Lippi Giuseppe
Published: November 2023

Objetivos

El objetivo del presente estudio de prueba de concepto, era investigar si una tira reactiva comercial para orina aporta información potencialmente útil para la evaluación de glucosa y bilirrubina en muestras de plasma humano.

Métodos

Se determinaron las concentraciones de glucosa y bilirrubina en 60 muestras anonimizadas de plasma residual de heparina de litio, en un analizador Roche COBAS 8000 y en la tira reactiva comercial para orina, tras pipetear 10 µL de plasma, en las almohadillas que ésta incorpora. Se llevó a cabo una comparación directa entre los resultados semicuantitativos de la tira reactiva y los de las muestras pareadas obtenidos con el analizador COBAS.

Resultados

Se observaron leves diferencias entre el analizador COBAS y la tira reactiva en relación a la mediana de la concentración de glucosa (5,8 frente a 5,6 mmol/L, respectivamente; p=0,040). Por otro lado, no se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los valores de bilirrubina entre COBAS y la tira reactiva (11,2 frente a 8,6 μmol/L; p=0,090). El coeficiente de correlación de Spearman entre COBAS y la tira reactiva fue de 0,83 (IC 95 %, 0,73–0,90; p<0,001) para la glucosa en plasma, y 0,78 (IC 95 %, 0,66–0,87; p<0,001) para la bilirrubina en plasma. La concordancia acumulada entre COBAS y la tira reactiva fue alta tanto para la glucosa (88 %; coeficiente kappa, 0.75; IC 95 %, 0,58–0,92; p<0,001) como para la bilirrubina (88 %; coeficiente kappa, 0,76; IC 95 %, 0,60–0.92; p<0,001).

Conclusiones

Los resultados del estudio de prueba de concepto indican que la tira reactiva comercial para orina de nuestro estudio posee un rendimiento aceptable en la determinación de las concentraciones de glucosa y bilirrubina en plasma, en comparación con las pruebas analíticas de referencia.
Perdikkas und seine Brüder. Politik und Mythos im Makedonien des 5.
Jahrhunderts
Authors: Feil Florian D.
Published: November 2023

Der bei Herodot überlieferte Gründungsmythos der Argeaden gilt als im Makedonien des 5. Jahrhunderts allgemein akzeptiert und oft als Reflex der argeadischen Frühgeschichte. Dagegen wird hier auf Basis ethnologischer Erkenntnisse über die soziale Funktion von Mythen vermutet, dass ein erkennbarer Bezug zwischen dem fraglichen Mythos und zeitgenössischen politischen Problematiken bestand. Zur Analyse bisher unerklärter Elemente des Mythos wird daher dessen Entstehungskontext untersucht. Demnach herrschten die Söhne Alexanders I. gemeinsam über Makedonien und Perdikkas, einer der jüngeren Brüder, erlangte nur schrittweise eine prekäre Führungsposition im Clan. Um diese zu stabilisieren und die alleinige Herrschaftsnachfolge seines Sohnes Archelaos zu sichern, ließ Perdikkas den bei Herodot überlieferten Gründungsmythos verbreiten. Dies erklärt, warum die Protagonisten der Geschichte drei Brüder sind, warum der jüngste der mythischen Brüder Perdikkas heißt, warum er allein als göttlich erwählter, kluger und fürsorglicher Anführer hervorgehoben wird und warum nur er die Argeadendynastie begründet, in der die Herrschaft immer einem einzigen Sohn vererbt wird.

Authors: Liao Kuang-Ming , Chen Pei-Jun , Chen Chung-Yu
Published: November 2023

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) had higher risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). The treatment of AF includes medicines to control heart rate and reduce the risk of stroke, and procedures such as cardioversion to restore normal heart rhythm. To reduce the stroke, patients with AF may prescribe some type of antithrombotic medication (such as warfarin, one of the new non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants [NOACs] – dabigitran, apixaban, rivoraxaban, or edoxaban) or maybe aspirin. The aim of our study was to exam the prescription pattern in patients with COPD and AF. We selected COPD population in Taiwan older than 40 years and less than 90 years old with an COPD diagnosis at least two outpatient claims or at least one inpatient claim coded and also need at least one prescription of bronchodilators. We followed this COPD cohort until they have AF and their prescription pattern. We included 267,740 patients with COPD who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria and 6,582 patients concomitant with COPD and AF. The mean age was 75 years, and about 77% of the patients were older than 70 years. Three-fourths of patients with COPD were male. The common comorbidities were hypertension (17.58%), diabetes (7.47%), ischemic heart disease (4.66%), and dyslipidemia (3.68%). we found that most patients received aspirin which accounting for 31%, followed by coumadin (8.22%) and clopidogrel. Prescribing NOAC within 30 days after AF diagnosis was low in patients with COPD and the percentage of NOAC usage was also lower than warfarin.
Militärische Zurückhaltung oder militärisches Engagement? Entstehung und Entwicklung der strategischen Kultur der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bis 1990 im Lichte von Archivquellen
Authors: Barbin Jéronimo L. S. , Konopka Torsten
Published: November 2023

Kurzfassung

Jahrzehntelang hat die Bundesregierung den restriktiven Einsatz der Bundeswehr im Ausland unter anderem mit dem Verweis auf „verfassungsrechtliche Beschränkungen“ erklärt. Diese Argumentation bildete insbesondere während des Ost-West-Konflikts eine wesentliche Facette der bundesdeutschen strategischen Kultur, oftmals bezeichnet als „Kultur der militärischen Zurückhaltung“. Wann und wie diese verfassungsrechtliche Argumentation entstanden ist, hat die einschlägige Literatur bisher ebenso wenig untersucht wie die Frage, ob zwischen 1949 und 1990 innerhalb der Bundesregierung eine konstante und einvernehmliche Interpretation der verfassungsrechtlichen Verwendungsmöglichkeiten der Bundeswehr im Ausland bestand. Der vorliegende Beitrag möchte diese Forschungslücke schließen und greift dafür auf zeitgenössische Ministerialakten zurück. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die „Kultur der militärischen Zurückhaltung“ keineswegs geradlinig und einvernehmlich entstanden ist, sondern als ein Produkt außen- und sicherheitspolitischer Entwicklungen sowie innenpolitischer Aushandlungsprozesse verstanden werden muss.
Modes of Social Closure in Morten Tyldum’s Film The Imitation Game
Authors: Schaffeld Norbert
Published: November 2023

This article discusses Morten Tyldum’s film The Imitation Game in terms of its media-specific representation of social closure at three spatio-temporal levels. They involve Alan Turing’s boarding school in the late 1920s, Bletchley Park, the home of the cryptanalysts during the Second World War, and a homophobic Britain of the early 1950s. The paper borrows from an expanded neo-Weberian theoretical frame and attempts to address power-based processes of social closure by means of an approach that relates the storyline to selected semiotic modes used by the film language. The analysis foregrounds some scenic juxtapositions and modal ties to illustrate how the two codebreakers, Alan Turing (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Joan Clarke (Keira Knightley), cope with an exclusionary society, its homophobic legislation, sexist attitudes, and, in the case of young Alan, its practice of physical bullying.
Vécu scolaire et représentations identitaires : ce que l’expérience scolaire des élèves au secondaire issu·e·s des minorités visibles révèle de leur environnement socioéducatif
Authors: Amboulé-Abath Anastasie , Bikié-Bi-Nguéma Nadège
Published: November 2023

Cet article vise à comprendre la manière dont les élèves au secondaire issu·e·s des minorités visibles décrivent leur expérience scolaire dans une région à faible densité ethnoculturelle. L’étude se base sur dix entretiens semi-dirigés réalisés auprès d’élèves fréquentant deux écoles de niveau secondaire de Saguenay. Les résultats éclairent sur leur rapport aux autres et à l’environnement socioéducatif dans lequel des préjugés ethnoraciaux y sont soulignés. Pour une école inclusive forte de sa diversité, ces préjugés mettent en évidence les enjeux entourant le mieux vivre ensemble et la nécessité d’organiser des activités socioéducatives créant des occasions d’échange pour l’ensemble des élèves.
Les soutiens et les formations à la prise de notes offerts dans les cégeps au Québec

Published: November 2023

À l’entrée au Cégep, la capacité à prendre des notes devient primordiale pour la réussite, car les cours sont plus denses et vont plus vite. Cet article interroge la manière dont les cégeps s’y prennent pour soutenir le développement des compétences de prise de notes de leurs étudiantes et de leurs étudiants. Pour cela, un portrait des soutiens à la prise de notes offerts dans les 47 cégeps publics a été dressé par la consultation des sites Web des cégeps et de quelques personnes porteuses de dossiers pour approfondir les informations. Les résultats montrent que les cégeps semblent peu nombreux à offrir des ateliers ou du matériel pour soutenir la prise de notes. Lorsqu’ils le font, la manière dont ils procèdent est contestée au regard des recherches antérieures.
Turn on the lights! Fundamental science leads to scientific progress: A perspective from developmental biology
Authors: Franz-Odendaal Tamara A. , Carvajal-Agudelo Juan David , Apienti Tracy Alice O. , Drake Paige M. , Eaton Jordan , McInnis Shea , Muntzar Romman
Published: November 2023

Many of the ways in which we interact with the world around us have been shaped by the dual efforts of fundamental and applied sciences. Generally speaking, fundamental science generates knowledge about how things work at a fundamental level, and applied science employs this body of knowledge to create a new product or overcome an existing challenge. Developmental biology is a classic example of fundamental science that drives several avenues of applied science. For example, understanding how cells, tissues, and organs develop, and are coordinated within a functioning organism can form the basis for diagnosing medical conditions and exploring treatments. As a developmental biology lab researching bone and cartilage in birds and fish, we are acutely aware of the disparity in financial support between fundamental and applied science research in Canada. Funding cutting-edge applied research with immediate impacts on society is attractive and more easily justifiable to tax payers. However, funding grassroots fundamental science research is equally important but receives significantly less attention and support because the impacts are harder to predict and are longer-term. This commentary addresses this inequity in science funding and high-lights the dire need to improve supports for early career scientists.

Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health: A Double-Edged Sword
Authors: Yadav Rajani
Published: November 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of mental health presents a complex scenario characterized by both advantageous prospects and inherent hazards. AI possesses the capacity to fundamentally transform the field of mental healthcare through the provision of individualized and readily accessible assistance. AI systems possess the capacity to analyze extensive quantities of data and identify patterns, thereby offering valuable assistance to doctors in the diagnosis of mental diseases, development of personalized treatment programs, and even prediction of relapses. Furthermore, there is ongoing development in the field of AI to create chatbots that utilize AI technology and serve as virtual therapists. These chatbots aim to provide individuals with continuous emotional support, available at any time of the day. Nonetheless, this technological advancement also gives rise to apprehensions about issues of privacy, ethical considerations, and an excessive dependence on automated systems. Robust security measures are crucial in safeguarding the anonymity of consumers while utilizing AI systems due to the sensitive nature of mental health data. Furthermore, it is important to consider the potential for dehumanization when patients only depend on interventions driven by machines, as opposed to fostering human connection and empathy. Achieving an optimal equilibrium between technical progress and preserving interpersonal connection remains a key aspect in fully using the capabilities of AI in the field of mental health, while simultaneously ensuring its effects on individual welfare are protected.
Coenzyme Q10: A Ubiquitous Supplemental Enzyme Contributing to the Health
Authors: Silić Igor Amerl
Published: November 2023

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an endogenous molecule that is ubiquitously found throughout the cellular composition of the human organism. The aforementioned substance plays a crucial function in the production of energy and serves as a potent antioxidant, safeguarding cells against harm induced by free radicals. As individuals progress in age, there is a tendency for the amounts of CoQ10 in their bodies to diminish, resulting in a range of health consequences. Research has indicated that the addition of CoQ10 through supplementation can yield a multitude of advantageous outcomes. Research has demonstrated that it can enhance energy production in cardiac cells and mitigate oxidative stress, so contributing to the improvement of heart health. Furthermore, CoQ10 has demonstrated potential in the management of several illnesses such as hypertension, migraines, and fibromyalgia, attributed to its capacity to enhance mitochondrial activity and alleviate inflammation. Moreover, existing research indicates that the utilization of this particular coenzyme may potentially enhance fertility through the improvement of sperm quality, as well as contribute to the maintenance of good skin by facilitating collagen synthesis. Notwithstanding these possible advantages, it is essential to get guidance from a healthcare practitioner prior to commencing any supplementation protocol due to the potential variability of individual requirements.

Authors: Ávila-Camacho Martha Gabriela , Juárez-Hernández Luis Gibran
Published: November 2023

Aim. To analyze the psychometric properties of construct validity and reliability of an instrument to assess the didactic sequence. Methodology. The instrument was administered to 488 students enrolled in Bachelor’s Degrees in Preschool and Elementary Education; the students were working on the 2012 study plans. They were informed of the purpose of the research and the confidentiality of the results; they also were asked for their consent to use the data collected. The construct validity analysis implemented a cross-validation process involving an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Reliability was evaluated with Cronbach’s alpha. Results. The EFA revealed the correspondence of the factorial model obtained with the theoretical model, since only one factor was found to explain the 63% of variance, in which all items were represented. The CFA showed the empirical sustainability of the factorial model and optimal fit (Ratio χ2/gl: 2.19; GFI: 0.942; RMSAE: 0.063; RMR: 0.029; CFI: 0.977; TLI: 0.971). The study also confirmed the presence of convergent validity. Finally, the Cronbach’s alpha result was 0.931, indicating optimal reliability. Conclusions. The instrument has adequate psychometric properties. Therefore, its utilization ensures the acquisition of reliable results in the evaluation of didactic sequences in higher education.

Authors: Maiztegui Oñate Concepción , González Navarro Mariana , Santibáñez Gruber Rosa
Published: November 2023

Este artículo presenta un análisis del clima escolar en los centros educativos chilenos, como un factor que influye en la formación de las relaciones humanas, los lazos con el entorno y conforma el contexto donde se desarrollan las competencias ciudadanas. Al tiempo que se proporciona una oportunidad de profundizar en ellas a través de su puesta en práctica en situaciones reales de convivencia. Los resultados que aquí se presentan proceden de una explotación de las bases de datos del estudio PISA 2009, llevado a cabo por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE; 2009) en Chile. El análisis de los datos secundarios permitió tener acceso a las respuestas de 5669 estudiantes de 200 centros de educación secundaria. Con este artículo se pretende analizar la percepción del clima escolar desde el marco de desarrollo de una ciudadanía inclusiva (Kiwan, 2008). Para alcanzarlo, contrasta los datos de clima escolar con los resultados del estudio sobre Educación Cívica (Civic Education Study. CIVED) realizado por la Asociación Internacional para la Evaluación del Rendimiento Escolar (IEA) (Ministerio de Educación de Chile, 2009). Los resultados apuntan a que la apuesta por mejorar las competencias cívicas y superar el compromiso del alumnado deberían ir acompañada de una práctica real de la ciudadanía en los centros escolares. El buen clima escolar y la importancia de las relaciones que el alumnado establece con sus centros ofrecen amplias oportunidades para la participación a nivel escolar.

Authors: Bogotch Ira , Reyes-Guerra Daniel
Published: November 2023

La relación entre el liderazgo educativo y la práctica de la justicia social ha comentando una segunda década con respecto a los estudios de investigación empírica. Ha habido tres agendas de investigación diferenciadas: la primera se refiere a los intentos por definir cuál es el significado de liderazgo educativo para la justicia social; la segunda es la búsqueda de descripciones claras de los comportamientos de los líderes que se ocupan de las injusticias sociales y las desigualdades dentro de las escuelas; y, la tercera se centra en el desarrollo de programas de preparación para el Liderazgo escolar que incluyen la justicia social como eje del currículo. Este trabajo realiza una revisión de la literatura que documenta la relación entre la justicia social y los programas de preparación para el liderazgo en las escuelas. Desde una perspectiva cronológica, pasamos a revisar cuáles son las primeras concepciones teóricas de la justicia social y, a continuación, nos centrmos en abordar la investigación empírica desarrollada en esta segunda generación de estudios sobre las pedagogías de la justicia social y el desarrollo del currículo.

Authors: Rillo Arturo G. , Pimentel Ramírez Maria Luisa , Arceo Guzmán Mario Enrique , Jaimes García Javier
Published: November 2023

El ser humano se aproxima al mundo mediante la dialéctica de pregunta y respuesta para construir socialmente la realidad mediante la práctica de la libertad. En este contexto, el estudio se realizó con el objetivo de exponer el análisis hermenéutico de la pregunta pedagógica como instrumento pedagógico para el aprendizaje mediado por la práctica de la libertad desde la perspectiva de Freire. Desde el campo de la investigación filosófica se desarrollaron tres etapas (construcción del horizonte de comprensión, destructiva y constructiva) para proyectar la tradición educativa de Vigotsky y Ausubel hacia la hermenéutica de la pregunta y confrontar el aporte de la pedagogía de la pregunta de Freire. Los resultados obtenidos recuperan la pregunta inicial, mediadora y esencial situándolas en relación con la estructura y horizonte de la pregunta. El acto de preguntar se rehabilita como práctica de la libertad al mediar el aprendizaje desde el pensamiento crítico y creativo.

El mérito de esta práctica está en la concientización de preparar al hombre para los retos que le depara la vida.
Toad in the road: Biocultural history and conservation challenges of the Sonoran Desert Toad
Authors: Villa Robert A.
Published: November 2023

The Sonoran Desert Toad (Incilius alvarius) is the only vertebrate known to produce the powerful psychedelic, 5-MeO-DMT, which is easily-accessible form the animal's exterior glands. This paper seeks to present the biocultural (ecological and cultural) history, and conservation concerns of I. alvarius. Discovery of 5-MeO-DMT in I. alvarius was first reported in 1965 and 1967 (Erspamer et al.), and eventually led to the popular psychedelic use of this species after a pamphlet was published in 1984 (Most). Its mostly unmitigated use in for-profit spirituality, wellness, and adventurism has driven erroneous, coerced, and exploitive narratives of ancient Indigenous use – increasing: exploitation of I. alvarius, biocultural erosion, and malpractice of 5-MeO-DMT. Reconciliation of diverse needs is intellectually and financially challenging. It must be careful of approaches that are implicitly biased by a demand that extracts, appropriates, and trades in Indigenous and wellness motifs – but can be reached from the reconciliation and intersection of Indigenous and Western science and priorities. Few conservation-oriented studies and outreach elements concerning I. alvarius exist, and most have been supported by crowdfunding.

Las imágenes del fotógrafo belga Maxime Delvaux de la plaza de Skanderbeg en Tirana completada por el despacho de arquitectura belga 51N4E y el artista albanés Anri Sala en 2017 tienen al menos tres lecturas. Su contenido nos permite acceder a la compleja historia del proyecto, revelando las conexiones entre las decisiones de diseño, las políticas de transformación urbana de la ciudad y sus dirigentes, e incluso, en algunos casos, la imaginación política de Albania frente a la Unión Europea. Su formato, a medio camino entre fotografías tradicionales y videos de plano fijo, nos ayuda a entender como 51N4E trata de explicar no solo sus proyectos sino sus los procesos de diseño y la reorganización de la oficina. Finalmente, como fotografía de arquitectura, nos desvelan los efectos que la irrupción de la fotografía digital ha tenido en la documentación de proyectos arquitectónicos.
Implementation of EU policy on circular economy and social inclusion in Poland – opportunities for synergies
Authors: Sabal Maciej
Published: November 2023

Background: The circular economy (CE) is a concept that is increasingly influencing European Union (EU) policy. Environmental goals are being increasingly financed by European funds. This approach culminates in the new Community Strategy – the European Green Deal. At the same time, EU funds have also been earmarked for social objectives for decades, a fundamental element of cohesion policy. Both CE and social policy measures are implemented with structural funds, through appropriate provisions in national and regional programs. Despite the fact that many activities from both areas are part of sustainable development, Polish strategic programs do not provide for joint activities that affect both environmental and social issues. The article analysed Polish national programs in terms of pro-environmental and social measures. The choice of the research topic is related to the fact that increasingly in the literature there are calls for the inclusion of social issues in the CE theme.

Research objectives: The aim of the research is to characterize national programs in Poland dedicated to CE and social welfare in the 2014–2020 perspective (Operational Program Infrastructure and Environment, Operational Program Intelligent Development, Operational Program Knowledge Education Development, Eastern Poland Operational Program, Regional Operational Program for Małopolskie Voivodeship), to identify challenges in narrowing the use of a narrowed understanding of pro-environmental measures, and to propose an approach that takes into account the synergies of the two areas in the context of the 2021–2027 perspective.

Research design and methods: The article uses an analysis of EU documents (regulations and directives; structural and investment programs), Polish national and regional programs. A compilation of priority axes from key programs related to CE and social policy in Poland was made, and then a combination of selected areas was proposed.

Results: As the analysis shows, the solutions used in the EU and in Poland in the 2014–2020 perspective do not take into account the social context of the circular economy. The plans for the new financial perspective 2021–2027, as well as the long-term strategy of the European Green Deal, do not exclude joint actions, so it is largely up to the member states to focus separately on selected aspects of CE and social inclusion, or to combine actions in both areas. Planning joint activities in at least part of the programs could contribute to the overarching community goal of sustainable development.

Conclusions: An interdisciplinary approach to the topic of CE, especially the social aspects, could make EU policy more comprehensive and effective in relation to the identified challenges. The EU, which is one of the leaders of pro-environmental changes in the world, should include a broader approach to both CE issues and social policy.

Aim.Maturity- onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a group of monogenic diseases with an autosomal dominant inheritance. This is a rarely diagnosed disease, occurring in 1 of 10 thousand adults and in 1 of 23 thousand children. Brief description. We present a case report of a patient with a monogenic diabetes HNF4A-MODY, severe hypertriglyceridemia, progressive premature coronary artery disease and a HNF4A gene pathogenic variant (ENST00000316099.8:c.1145dup).

Discussion.This case demonstrates the effectiveness of triple hypoglycemic therapy, including empagliflozin for the treatment of monogenic diabetes. Despite the fact that the patient with diabetes reached the target glycated hemoglobin level, the combination of the disease with other cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity, smoking, male sex) led to the progression of coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis. Considering the data of genetic testing, returning to sulfonylurea therapy should be considered. It is important for patient to follow a strict lipid-lowering diet and taking combination lipid-lowering therapy (rosuvastatin, fenofibrate and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids) in order to achieve the target level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol <1,4 mmol/l and triglycerides <1,7 mmol/l.
Det kroppslige arkivet
Authors: Skogli Nina Helene

Abstrakt: Spørsmålet om hvordan man kan dokumentere og arkivere en forestilling har de siste tiårene vært knyttet til diskusjonen om forestillingens ontologi, hvor kapittelet «The Ontology of Performance» (1993) av Peggy Phelan har blitt hyppig sitert. «Performance’s only life is in the present» (s.st., s. 146). Denne påstanden har ledet til en diskusjon om hvordan tilskuerminnet kan være en metode for å dokumentere og arkivere forestillinger (Barba, 1990; Demetriou, 2017; Kozel, 2017; Reason, 2006; Schneider, 2011), blant annet ved å fremheve forestillingens epistemologiske potensial som et kontrasterende perspektiv (xxx, 2022).

Med utgangspunkt i dette sistnevnte perspektivet analyseres performancen En lys sommers usigelige smerte av koreograf Mette Edvardsen. Prosjektet låner tittelen fra en diktsamling av Ruth Maier, og ble gjennomført over flere lørdager sensommeren 2022 i Vigelandsparken. Her fikk tilskuerne i oppgave å lære et dikt av Maier utenat gjennom en kollektiv memoreringsprosess. Prosjektet tematiserer dermed minnet som arkiv, i tillegg til Maiers liv og arbeid. Artikkelen vil særlig utforske hvordan performancen inviterer tilskueren til en praksis som et kroppslig minnearkiv. Hvordan bærer man diktet med seg videre? Og hvordan forholder man seg til Ruth Maier, både som forfatter av diktet og som et symbol i den kollektive minnekulturen?

 

English abstract: In recent decades, the question of how to document and archive a performance has been linked to the discussion of the ontological dimesion of performance, where the chapter «The Ontology of Performance» (1993) by Peggy Phelan has been frequently cited. «Performance's only life is in the present» (p. 146). This claim has led to a discussion about how spectator memory can be a method for documenting and archiving performances (Barba, 1990; Demetriou, 2017; Kozel, 2017; Reason, 2006; Schneider, 2011), by highlighting the epistemological potential of the performance as a contrasting perspective (xxx, 2022).

Starting from this latter perspective, the performance En lys sommers usigelige smerte by choreographer Mette Edvardsen is analyzed. The project borrows its title from a collection of poems by Ruth Maier and was carried out over several Saturdays late in the summer of 2022 in Vigelandsparken. Here, the audience was tasked with learning a poem by Maier by heart through a collective memorization process. The project thus thematizes memory as an archive, in addition to Maier's life and work. The article explorer how the performance invites the audience member to a practice as an embodied memory archive. How do you carry the poem on with you? And how does one relate to Ruth Maier, both as the author of the poem and as a symbol in our collective memory culture?
Jon Fosse på den globale scenen
Authors: Hanssen Jens-Morten
Published: November 2023

During the 1990s Jon Fosse went from being a prose writer with a limited Norwegian audience to becoming a playwright with an ever-expanding global distribution. His current international standing is closely connected to the fact that he began to write dramatic texts. With a point of departure in the recently acquired Jon Fosse Archive, the National Library of Norway has established a dataset of information about all documented stage productions of Fosse’s works worldwide in collaboration with the Sceneweb Archive. This paper conducts an analysis of this dataset from three angles: geography, social structure, and organizational factors. 

It is no denying that Fosse has become a world dramatist, but the study shows that his distribution has a strong European bias, where three nations stand out, Norway, France, and Germany. Using social network analysis, the study identifies the major hubs in the global network of stage artists involved in producing Fosse and reveals that most of them are Norwegian or Swedish. However, these artists have engaged in transnational, artistic collaborations that over time have created a form of distributed ownership to his works. Additionally, Fosse has fared well in the system of international festivals which has further strengthened his global standing.

Authors: Cruz Manoela Aguiar , Czeczko Nicolau Gregori , Rutz Leticia Elizabeth Augustin Czeczko , Cuenca Ronaldo Mafia , Possiedi Rafael Dib , Torres Orlando Jorge Martins
Published: November 2023

Introdução: A doença celíaca é uma condição autoimune desencadeada pela ingestão e/ou contato com o glúten em indivíduos geneticamente predispostos. A síndrome dispéptica, por outro lado, é caracterizada por sintomas digestivos superiores crônicos. A relação entre estas duas condições é o foco principal deste estudo. Objetivo: Investigar a prevalência da doença celíaca em pacientes com síndrome dispéptica com base da análise de características epidemiológicas, endoscopia digestiva alta, histologia duodenal e sorologia. Método: Revisão narrativa feita com informações publicadas em plataformas virtuais em português e inglês, e analisada durante o período de janeiro de 2022 a novembro de 2023. O material para leitura e análise foi selecionado das plataformas SciELO – Scientific Electronic Library Online, Google Scholar, Pubmed e Scopus utilizando os seguintes termos: “dispepsia, doença celíaca, glúten, prevalência” com busca AND ou OR, considerando o título e/ou resumo. Após, foi realizada a leitura da íntegra dos textos incluindo 18 artigos. Resultados: A idade média dos pacientes com dispepsia foi de 45,13 anos e o sexo feminino foi predominante. Os sintomas associados ao glúten foram relatados em 6%. O anticorpo antitransglutaminase foi positivo com prevalência estimada de 1,5%.  Considerando a amostra brasileira de 100 pacientes, o diagnóstico de doença celíaca foi prevalente em 3%. Conclusão: Embora a prevalência de doença celíaca em pacientes dispépticos possa ser maior do que na população em geral, os resultados são variáveis e dependem de vários fatores, incluindo metodologias de teste e características regionais. Esta revisão também ressalta a importância de abordagem individualizada na investigação da doença celíaca em pacientes dispépticos, considerando aspectos como história familiar, sintomas relacionados ao glúten e comorbidades autoimunes.
A microscopic interpretation of hysteresis in the water retention curve of sand
Authors: Higo Yosuke , Kido Ryunosuke
Published: November 2023

The hysteresis observed in a water retention curve was experimentally studied through the use of X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT). The CT images were acquired during the main drying and wetting processes of a water retention test for uniform sand. The porosity and degree of saturation (Sr) of pore-scale local subsets were calculated using images segmented into soil, water and air phases. The simultaneous distribution of the local porosity and Sr was also analysed to investigate the relationship between the pore size and retained water volume. At similar suction levels, only small pore spaces retained water during wetting, while relatively large pore spaces retained water during drying, demonstrating the ink-bottle effect. At similar saturation levels, the simultaneous distribution was independent of the wetting and drying processes, indicating no significant difference in the water retention state between the two processes. Another image analysis was performed to calculate the principal curvatures of the air–water interface. At similar saturation levels, the calculated curvature of the drying process was greater than that of the wetting process, indicating contact angle hysteresis. The contact angle between the soil particles and water is different at the microscopic level, whereas the water retention states of the two processes are similar.
A Study on the Export Competitiveness of Used Cars in Korea
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Kim Sungkuk , Hur Yunseok
Published: November 2023

Purpose - For the sustainable trade of the global society, trade phenomena related to the trade of used commodities were analyzed. Used cars are older than new cars, so they are of lower quality and have a lower market value. This makes them a challenging area of research, as there is a lack of prior research.
Design/Methodology/Approach - From the perspective of environmental conservation and resource conservation, there is a need for research on the export of used cars as a form of resource recycling. The trade phenomenon was analyzed using K-Stat and UN Comtrade Statics data.
Findings - Used goods trade does not occur only in developing countries, and it is used frequently in developed countries as well. We find a very strong positive correlation between used car exports and new car exports. According to the Trade Specialization Index, used cars have an absolute export competitiveness advantage, even though new cars have low export competitiveness. This suggests that used cars complement new cars in the export market.
Research Implications - The present study was challenging to undertake due to the fact that it was conducted in the field of used goods, which made it difficult to obtain prior studies and public data. However, the used car sector, a significant component of Korean automobile exports, has been validated as an export product that is competitive with developed countries.
A New Exchange Market Pressure Index with a Capital-flow Management Measure and Its Applications in Four Asian Countries
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Suh Jae-Hyun
Published: November 2023

Purpose - An exchange market pressure index (EMP) exhibits not only exchange-rate fluctuations but also the changes of government tools to manage exchange rates. Therefore, it is useful to estimate hidden pressures that exist in foreign exchange markets. This study suggests a new EMP that might have more information on foreign exchange markets than other indices.
Design/Methodology/Approach - We include a capital-flow management (CFM) measure as another component in our new EMP to consider the role of CFMs for managing exchange rates. This new index is then applied to the four Asian countries of South Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, and Japan to analyze their foreign exchange markets.
Findings - We found that the new EMP sends stronger signals before and during the currency crises than existing indices. Moreover, the volatility of emerging market EMP is stronger than that of advanced countries because the former group changes CFM policies more frequently than the latter . These findings suggest that the new EMP might describe exchange rates and pressures in foreign exchange markets better than other indices.
Research Implications - To our best knowledge, this study is one of few attempts to incorporate CFM measures into an EMP to consider the effectiveness of CFMs in managing exchange rates.
