Semiotics 'Love Myself Campaign' BTS Korean Boyband (Case Study: 'Epiphany' Comeback Trailer Video)
Authors: Lestari Siti Khodijah
Published: February 2022

'Epiphany' comeback trailer is one of the opening music videos in the Love Yourself: Answer album sung and played by Jin, the oldest member of BTS. This video is a representation of the Love Myself campaign message promoted by BTS with Unicef Korea in 2018. Then, the analysis focuses on the mirrored scene in Epiphany's music video which is shown repeatedly three times compared to other scenes. This study uses a qualitative approach, with text analysis using Roland Barthes' semiotics by looking at the denotation, connotation and myth. In addition, data collection by non-participant observation, literature study and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the message of the Love Myself campaign in the Epiphany music video is a reflection of what is happening in the community. When someone tries to look good but if it is done solely for the sake of others it will make oneself miserable. Before someone strives for something for someone else, it is better to put yourself first by loving yourself.

Slovenské poľnohospodárstvo v kontexte trvalo udržateľnej spotreby a výroby
Authors: Tóth Miroslav
Published: February 2022

Sustainability and sustainable development have begun to take on significance, particularly in the context of the recognition that any uncontrolled growth (in population, production, consumption, pollution, etc.) is unsustainable in an environment of limited resources. Related to this is the concept of sustainable consumption and production. Agriculture is a sector of the national economy in which there is a significant consumption of natural resources, energy, water, land use, plant cultivation, animal husbandry and, of course, the involvement of the human factor. It is this sector that is sensitive to environmental changes, the impact of waste generation, the intensity of the use of production factors and changes in input and output prices.

Environmental protection has been a very important issue for decades. The re-use of natural resources, the mass production of waste, the deterioration of the quality of the biosphere, human activity and action in conjunction with scientific and technological progress have led to an ever-increasing degradation of the quality of the environment. However, human activity in relation to environmental protection does not have to be only negative in nature but it is up to us and our best conscience to carry out positive and beneficial activities in relation to the environment and thus reduce negative impacts to the minimum. Today, there are many conscious individuals among us who are really aware and conscious about the sustainable concept.

In the multi-level quarry Předklášteří near Tišnov exploiting medium-grained biotite metagranite of the Brunovistulicum, up to 30 m thick unconsolidated sediments, were studied recently at the top of excavation. These sediments are exposed at the two top quarry levels. During the exploration work in 1965, these sediments were not encountered, because today’s quarry mining area has already exceeded the original considerations about the extent of mining.The altitude of the erosive base of these fluvial or deltaic sediments 370–375 m indicates their pre-Quaternary age. Our research was focussed on the Lower Miocene part of the sediments tentatively considered as lake, delta or river sediments. Sediments were studied by sedimentological, petrographic, mineralogical, geochemical and paleontological methods. Preliminary results from overlaying Quaternary sediments did not allow definite stratigraphical interpretation.Geochemical analyses of silty clays to claystones were compared with the occurrences of similar sediments from Brno and its surroundings (Kamechy, Kohoutovice, Obřany, Svinošice). These analyses proved that the sediments underwent a short transport of several kilometres and could be derived from weathering residues of the rocks forming the surrounding Brunovistulicum.Our research has confirmed the affiliation of sediments in top of the sequence to the Pleistocene colluvial deposits. Sediments found in the lower part of the layered sequence, trapped along the fault of the E–W direction, were assigned stratigraphically to the Lower Miocene (Ottnangian).

Set of parallel oriented ERT profiles was used for identification of fluvial channels in the area near the Western Gate of the Great Moravia Empire agglomeration Pohansko near Břeclav. Three infills of fluvial channels were identified within the ERT profiles, which erosively cut the complex of flood loams. The dimensions of these channels are compared, together with the distribution of individual architectural elements of the channel. Planform topography of individual channels is used for evaluation of fluvial style. Whereas Early Mediaval age of the sedimentary infill of the uppermost channel was proved, the two lower channels are supposed to be Upper Pleistocene to Early Holocene in age. The highly irregular relief of the Pannonian clays of the Vienna Basin forms the Pre-Quaternary basement.

Dark carbonaceous matter staining tectonic zones and deformed carbonate strata of the Moravo-Silesian Palaeozoic were studied by several methods. Samples were taken from tectonic structures in the quarry in Čebín and in the middle quarry in Mokrá near Brno. The grey-black-coloured rocks are clearly macroscopically and microscopically deformed, show traces of brittle ductile shear deformation and with foliation developed. The dark colour is caused by the presence of black carbon matter, which is documented by methods of optical and electron (BSE) microscopy.The mineral assemblage has the character of hydrothermal mineralization migrating along tectonic structures. Mineralization consists mainly of quartz, carbonates (calcite, dolomite), phyllosilicates (mica, chlorite, kaolinite), pyrite and it also includes black carbon. Apatite is one of the interesting and unusual components. The content of organic and elemental carbon determined by the thermo-optical method in intensively mineralized zones is around 2.5 mass%.The carbonaceous matter was more accurately identified using Raman spectra. The spectra at the two studied localities have a very similar shape and are very close to the spectra of black carbon in low-grade carbon coal matter, very disordered carbon and/or amorphous carbon (coal, kerogen). The spectra show the presence of peaks in the D, G and 2D regions and are different from the spectra of ordered and disordered graphite. The presence of a small peak G in the analysed spectra (Lorentzian function) also indicates the possible presence of a small amount of more ordered carbon in the studied black carbon matter.The components of the black mineralized zones were most likely mobilized from the surrounding rock formations during the Variscan tectono-metamorphic events. The similarity with the spectra of poorly ordered carbon matter from low metamorphic conditions shows transformation temperatures of 150–280 °C, which is in accordance with other thermometric methods in the region of the southern edge of the Moravo-Silesian Palaeozoic.

Published: February 2022

A single find of erratic Baltic flint in the Slezské Beskydy Mts. represents a rare evidence of glaciation in the area. The find originates from fluvial deposits of Weichselian valley terrace of the Hluchová Stream, tributary of the Olza River. The erratic was reworked from Elsterian sediments deposited by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in a very marginal position near its maximum extent in Outer Western Carpathians. Based on morphological analysis, the surface of the erratic was abraded by wave action in the source area on the Baltic shore and subsequently by glacial and (glacio)fluvial transport. Position of the find proves the glaciation of the Olza River valley by a greater ice lobe, than previously assumed.

If all options were possible, what policy changes would make voting, and democracy, work better? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, the narrator lives in a world where all public political affiliations are illegal leading up to, and shortly after, their every-ten-year elections. No colors, no symbols, and no public speech so as to limit political misinformation and post-election turmoil. Additionally, everyone is required to vote, unless they are granted a government exemption. This is meant to create a more stable democracy. The narrator’s party ends up winning the election. At the end of the story, the evil side of this “improved” democracy shows itself; those that lose the election are summarily rounded up and killed by the government.

Adam Smith and the Cambridge Platonists
Authors: Martins Nuno Ornelas ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

Adam Smith is usually seen as the founding father of modern economics, interpreted as a science that explains human agency in terms of the pursuit of egoistic self-interest. But a reading of Smith’s writings on moral sentiments shows how critical he was of explanations of society which focus solely on self-interest. When engaging in a critique of those individualistic explanations, Smith refers to the criticism that Thomas Hobbes received from the Cambridge Platonists, who argued against the fatalist view of the human agent driven solely by self-interest. Here the connections between Smith’s view and the Cambridge Platonists are further explored, while also assessing its implications for the common interpretation of Adam Smith as the founding father of modern economics.
Appendiceal Goblet Cell Adenocarcinoma: A Historically Informed Reading of 6 Cases
Authors: Wang Yan , Shahabi Ali , Loeffler Agnes
Published: February 2022

Context.—

Appendiceal goblet cell adenocarcinoma is an uncommon appendiceal neoplasm that is typically diagnosed incidentally to a presentation of acute appendicitis. Over the years, there have been many changes to the histologic evaluation and classification of this neoplasm, culminating in the most recent (2019) World Health Organization recommendations.

Objective.—

To understand the evolution of the concept of “goblet cell” neoplasia in the appendix, we explore a series of cases of goblet cell adenocarcinoma encountered at a county hospital over a 20-year period. We performed a historically informed review of these cases to highlight the significance and blind spots of our current definition and approach to this disease entity.

Data Sources.—

The cases were recovered from the archives of a county hospital (1999–2019). The literature was assembled through PubMed searches on the various names given to “goblet cell” neoplasms since the 1970s. We also refer to standard reference books of gastrointestinal pathology.

Conclusions.—

Frequent and numerous changes in the nomenclature of “goblet cell” lesions of the appendix resulted in considerable confusion regarding the approach to this rare entity, especially pertaining to its grade, as well as to its management in the clinical setting. The newest approach, recommended by the World Health Organization, provides clarity to its pathologic and clinical management. Adherence to these recommendations will improve communication between pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists about the natural history and prognosis of this malignant neoplasm.

Published: February 2022

Introduction. There is still a great lack of results regarding research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of psychiatric patients. Objective. Assessment of the intensity of anxiety symptoms in patients with mental disorders during the COVID-19 pandemic. Examination of the relationship between sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients and the intensity of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study by a 65 psychiatrist tasked to examin their 40 consecutive patients who had already been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder using three assessment tools: a sociodemographic questionnaire, a clinical questionnaire and a GAD-7 to assess anxiety symptoms. Results. The sample consisted of 1,785 patients. The average value of GAD-7 score was 12.6 (SD = 4.4) and 78.2% of patients had an anxiety intensity greater than or equal to 10. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference in scores on the GAD-7 among groups of subjects who differed in some sociodemographic factors (employment, region), while such a difference was not observed in respondents who differed in gender, education, place of residence or marital status. Patients diagnosed with F3X or F4X diagnoses (mood disorders and neurotic, stressful and body manifest disorders) have the greatest anxiety, but this difference does not reach statistical significance. When asked from the Questionnaire: "During the Kovid pandemic, what worries you the most?", most respondents chose the answer: "That I or someone in the family will get sick", but respondents with the highest level of anxiety said they were worried about "something else" Conclusion. Research has shown that according to the self-assessment of their symptoms, anxiety is present in more than half of the psychiatric patients examined during the Kovid 19 pandemic. Further research in this area is needed to gain a more detailed picture basis for developing more suitable protocols for their treatment.

If we do not begin teaching mathematics, then in a very few years, mathematics will cease to exist as an academic subject. Whether the mathematics is “reform” or “traditional,” whether it uses the latest technology or none at all, calculus and algebra will join embroidery and woodworking as pursuits of hobbyists, as topics not fit for serious study, and certainly as subjects unworthy of a place in the halls of education. The rest of the existing mathematics curriculum will soon follow.
How Faithful Is Old Faithful? Statistical Thinking: A Story of Variation and Prediction
Authors: Shaughnessy J. Michael , Pfannkuch Maxine
Published: February 2022

Statistics is a relatively new discipline. Only in the last one hundred years have common methods and common reasoning evolved that can be applied to data from many fields. In the early years, the field of statistics was influenced by the work of Ronald A. Fisher, Karl Pearson, and Jerz Neyman. They focused on developing tools and methods that primarily focused on randomization More recently, exploratory data analysis has been emphasized (Tukey 1977). As statistics continues to mature as a discipline, statistics educators are paying more attention to developing overall models of statistical thinking (Wild and Pfannkuch 1999). This shift in statistics means refocusing the emphasis in teaching from how to do statistics to how to think about statistics.

Sequence to structural analysis of ORF5 protein in Norway rat Hepatitis E Virus
Authors:   Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Basic Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India, Shafat Zoya
Published: February 2022

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major causative agent of acute hepatitis in developing countries. The Norway rat HEV genome consists of six open reading frames (ORFs), i.e., ORF1, ORF2, ORF3, ORF4, ORF5 and ORF6. The additional reading frame encoded protein ORF5 is attributed to life cycle of rat HEV. The ORFF5 protein’s function remains undetermined. Therefore, it is of interest to analyze the ORF5 protein for its physiochemical properties, primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and functional characteristics using bioinformatics tools. Analysis of the ORF5 protein revealed it as highly unstable, hydrophilic with basic pI. The ORF5 protein consisted mostly of Arg, Pro, Ser, Leu and Gly. The 3D structural homology model of the ORF5 protein generated showed mixed α/β structural fold with predominance of coils. Structural analysis revealed the presence of clefts, pores and a tunnel. This data will help in the sequence, structure and functional annotation of ORF5.

A large number of patients avoid dental care due to anxiety. Various techniques are available for behaviour related management. Therefore, safety and physiologic effects of intranasal midazolam and nitrous oxide inhalation based sedation in children aged 4 to 8 years visiting Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, India is of interest. 35 anxious patients aged 4 to 8 years were included in the study. The patient received either intranasal midazolam/nitrous oxide in the first visit and vice versa at the second visit. The onset of sedation, recovery time and procedure duration were recorded using a timer. Physiological parameters were recorded using a monitor. Safety scale was used for assessing prevalence of adverse reactions. There was no significant difference between the groups in safety scale scores, recovery time and procedure duration. Midazolam group showed a statistically significant faster onset of sedation and a statistically significant increase in heart rate at four recorded time-points. All the vitals were within the physiological limits. Thus, intranasal midazolamis a safe alternative to nitrous-oxide sedation in completing the intended dental treatment while managing the anxious children in dental clinic.

Published: February 2022

It is of interest to document the correlation of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Troponin T (TnT) in young Indian patients with myocardial infarction using epidemiological data. A study with 220 (110 case and 110 control) participants with Acute Coronary Syndrome (both males and females) was completed. Patients were identified using a pre-designed PROFORMA at the OPD and IPD of the Medicine Department at the Index Medical College & Hospital, Malwanchal University and Moti Lal Nehru Medical College and Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in India. MPO and TnT were measured using the Sandwich ELISA (Sandwich Enzyme linked immunosorbent Assay) kit. TnT (pg/ml) (Mean ± SD) were high in the case group than control 134.7 ± 8.57 vs 96.6 ± 2.82; F = 145.9; t = 44.3; p < 0.01). Moreover, MPO was 3-fold high in case group than control (157±30.1 and 42.4±14.82, respectively). The differences was found statistically significant (p<0.001). This suggests a link between TnT and MPO among young Indian patients with myocardial infarction.

Intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) or intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are regions or proteins that are characterized by lack of definite structure. These IDPRs or IDPs play significant roles in a wide range of biological processes, such as cell cycle regulation, control of signaling pathways, etc. IDPR/IDP in proteins is associated with the virus’s pathogenicity and infectivity. The prevalence of IDPR/IDP in rat HEV proteome remains undetermined. Hence, we examined the unstructured/disordered regions of the open reading frame (ORF) encoded proteins of rat HEV by analyzing the prevalence of intrinsic disorder. The intrinsic disorder propensity analysis showed that the different ORF proteins consisted of varying fraction of intrinsic disorder. The protein ORF3 was identified with maximum propensity for intrinsic disorder while the ORF6 protein had the least fraction of intrinsic disorder. The analysis revealed ORF6 as a structured protein (ORDP); ORF1 and ORF4 as moderately disordered proteins (IDPRs); and ORF3 and ORF5 as highly disordered proteins (IDPs). The protein ORF2 was found to be moderately as well as highly disordered using different predictors, thus, was categorized into both IDPR and IDP. Such disordered regions have important roles in pathogenesis and replication of viruses.
Prioritizing cybersecurity risk for enterprise risk management

Published: February 2022

This document is the second in a series that supplements NIST Interagency/Internal Report(NISTIR) 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This series provides additional detail regarding the enterprise application of cybersecurity risk information; the previous document, NISTIR 8286A, provided detail regarding stakeholder risk guidance and risk identification and analysis. This second publication describes the need for determining the priorities of each of those risks in light of their potential impact on enterprise objectives, as well as options for properly treating that risk. This report describes how risk priorities and risk response information are added to the cybersecurity risk register (CSRR) in support of an overall enterprise risk register. Information about the selection of and projected cost of risk response will be used to maintain a composite view of cybersecurity risks throughout the enterprise, which may be used to confirm and, if necessary, adjust risk strategy to ensure mission success.
Horses, Girls, and Agency: Gender in Play Pedagogy
Authors: Rainio Anna Pauliina
Published: February 2022

This is a study of the development of student agency from a gender perspective in a Finnish classroom. Thedata originates from an ethnographic research project in an elementary school classroom engaging in a playpedagogy project called a “playworld.” The article has two purposes. The first is to examine the potential ofimagination and improvised fantasy play in the development of agency. The second is to investigate the role of gender as a social category in shaping the students’ possibilities for agency in the play pedagogical setting. The creative use of imagination is at the center of the playworld pedagogy. However, it has rarely been studied in relation to the potentially uneven or stereotypic consequences of cultural tools, symbols, and categories.The analytical focus is on the gender-related categorization of a ‘horse girl’ and the role it played in the development of the agency of two seven-year-old girls as they participated in the playworld. I have used a multidisciplinary analytical framework to sensitize myself to the data. In the article I combine Vygotsky’s ideas of double stimulation, Sacks’ categorization analysis and, Holzkamp’s concept of action potence. The results show that the playworld pedagogy that explicitly aimed at developing children’s agency and collaboration was strongly gender categorized and thus was constraining for the girls in this study. On the other hand, the girls’ unplanned fantasy play, which took place on the sidelines of the classroom activity, contained important agentive elements. It gave thegirls a sense of agency crucial to their enactment of agency in the wider playworld setting. It is argued that the girls were able to become agentive players in the activity through questioning the gendered categories openly in the classroom.
Studying Genetic Risk in the Conduct of Everyday Life
Authors: Huniche Lotte
Published: February 2022

This article is a revised version of a talk given in lieu of the Ph.D. dissertation: "Huntington´s Disease in Everyday Life. Knowledge, Ignorance and Genetic Risk". The dissertation evolves around the analysis of modern living with risk for a late onset genetic disorder. Here, three aspects of everyday lives faced with Huntington´s Disease (HD) are discussed. First, HD is one aspect of everyday living along with a variety of other aspects. The importance of risk is analysed as personal and changing in changing circumstances. Second, genetic knowledge and technology are not solid universals, but situated and changing, and of varying importance in lives at risk. Last, the ethical rationalities of everyday living, research and clinical practice concerned with a hereditary condition are discussed as complex and contradictory in and across structures of social practice.
Narrative Learning in the Fifth Dimension
Authors: Hakkarainen Pentti
Published: February 2022

The article describes an extension of the original idea of the fifth dimension model to pre-school age. We found out that small schildren are not able to use in their activity the tasks formulated by the adults. Learning tasks inbedded in different narratives were used in 5D environments. Experimental research lead to a hypothesis on the status of narrative learning as ”transitory activity system” between play and school learning. The hypothesis is presented and a transitory model sketched. Examples on children’s sense making and narrative learning in problem situations are are offered at the end of the article.
A Cultural-Historical Approach to Learning in Classrooms
Authors: Hedegaard Mariane
Published: February 2022

The basic conception of this paper is to conceptualise learning as a change in relation between a person and the world through change in his/her capacity for tool use and interpretation of artefacts. Further this relation has to be defined within a context (state, societal field, institutional practice and person’s activity). Both context and tool/artefact have to be seen as objectification of human needs and intentions already invested with cognitive and affective content.
“A Zone of Indistinction” – A Critique of Giorgio Agamben’s Con-cept of Biopolitics
Authors: Lemke Thomas
Published: February 2022

This article reconstructs Giorgio Agamben’s concept of biopolitics and discusses his claim that the camp is the “matrix of modernity”. While this thesis is more plausible than many of his critics do admit, his work is still characterised by diverse theoretical problems. My critique will concentrate on the legalistic concept of biopolitics that Agamben endorses and on his formalistic idea of the state. This reading of Agamben leads to a surprising result. By focussing on the repressive dimensions of the state and the sovereign border between life and death, Agamben’s work remains committed to exactly that juridical perspective that he so vividly criticizes.
DIGITALIZACIJA I TEHNOLOŠKE INOVACIJE KAO GENERATOR RAZVOJA
Authors: Grujić Miloš
Published: February 2022

Cilj istraživanja je da se utvrdi jačina veze između dostignutog nivoa tehnološkog razvoja i inovacija sa jedne strane, te bruto domaćeg proizvoda per capita, razvoja finansijskog tržišta, indeksa ljudskog razvoja i indeksa pranja novca sa druge strane. Korišteni su relevantni podaci za period od 2012. do 2021. godine za sve zemlje za koje su navedeni pokazatelji dostupni. Korištene metode za ovaj proces su komparativna metoda, analiza i regresiona analiza te analiza varijanse, odnosno prosta linearna regresija, te sinteza prethodnih istraživanja i teoretskih nalaza da bi zaključci bili izvučeni metodom indukcije - od pojedinačnog ka opštem. Dobijeni rezultati podvrguti su suštinskoj i statističkoj analizi. Rad pokazuje da postoji značajna veza između posmatranih varijabli, tj. da postoji direktan uticaj nivoa inovacija u zemlji na BDP, razvoj finansijskog tržišta, indeksa ljudskog razvoja te indeks pranja novca. Ograničenja u istraživanju uslovljena su definisanim problemom i metodama koje su primijenjene u radu, uzimajući u obzir standardne probleme kod istraživanja korelacija. Dalja istraživanja treba usmjeriti u pravcu u kojem je potrebno istražiti da li finansijsko ulaganje u inovacije ima efekta na rezultate posmatranih varijabli.
News broadcasts between fuṣḥā and Lebanese: Language choice as an implicit comment on national identity in Lebanon
Authors: Daniëls Helge
Published: February 2022

This article presents an analysis of the news bulletins broadcasted by South Lebanese radio station Ṣawt al-Ğanūb (SaJ, Voice of the South). SaJ broadcasted its news bulletins in fuṣḥā (Standard Arabic), as well as in Lebanese. This is interesting because in most news bulletins tend to be broadcasted in the standard language, rather than in spoken varieties. This is definitely the case for so-called diglossic societies, such as Arabic-speaking societies, in which the linguistic metanorm for ‘serious programs’ is fuṣḥā. After presenting a brief linguistic description of a small corpus of news bulletins that were broadcasted in January 1998, this article focuses on how language (choice) functions symbolically in the extra-linguistic world. It argues that the choice to breach the metapragmatic norms, while framing the language use in the news bulletins explicitly as ‘the Lebanese language’ (al-luġa al-lubnānīye) can be interpreted as an implicit comment on Lebanese national identity.
