Authors: Baiardi Amilcar , Mello Durval Libânio Netto , Victor Mauro Moraes
Published: September 2023

O presente texto procura estabelecer uma relação causal entre a história do pensamento econômico e a imperiosa necessidade de remunerar os serviços ambientais, de taxar a utilização do capital natural e também de explicar a adoção tardia dessas medidas. Pretende também mostrar a necessidade de associar os pagamentos pelos serviços ambientais, uma premiação pela proteção da natureza, à remuneração do capital natural, mecanismo de desestímulo às ações que venham comprometer o meio ambiente. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão bibliográfica. Na sua elaboração, como abordagem, procedeu-se uma incursão nos fundamentos da história do pensamento econômico buscando identificar as raízes do reconhecimento do papel da natureza nessa área. Como procedimento, no percurso evolutivo do pensamento econômico, deu-se destaque aos autores que, de algum modo, incorporaram a natureza nas análises dos sistemas produtivos, conceberam-na como fator de produção e avaliaram as consequências econômicas e ambientais daí decorrentes. Supõe-se que este trabalho possa cobrir uma lacuna em termos de análise teórica e conceitual e subsidiar políticas ou inciativas que visem regulamentar/aperfeiçoar os pagamentos pelos serviços ambientais e implantar mecanismos de remuneração do capital natural. Palavras-chave: pensamento econômico; economia ecológica; tecnologia verde; desenvolvimento sustentável.

Curriculum Autonomy for Bhutanese Schools : A Fitting Solution to the Current Crisis in Bhutanese Education System
Authors: Dorji Tenzin
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to address the current crisis in Bhutan's education system by proposing a shift towards providing curriculum autonomy to schools. Drawing on George S. Counts' theory of 'Dare the School Build a New Social Order,' it discusses the limitations of the centralized curriculum system and its impact on Bhutanese education. By examining issues such as the centralized textbook distribution, the propagation of 'Diploma Disease,' and the need for decentralization, the paper argues for delinking schools from the central curriculum and empowering them with more autonomy. This shift is seen as essential to promote relevant education, provide better opportunities, and enhance the overall education quality.

Published: September 2023

In this paper, we explore the development of a simulation model to assist in the decision-making process for monitoring the health conditions of elderly patients using data from their smart beds. The main objective of the proposed simulation model is to estimate the transitional condition of the health system by tracking patients’ physiological signals
via a growth model. This approach allows the model to mimic the dynamics of various health-related issues faced by patients and the elderly. When combined with real-world data and practical expertise, the discrete-event simulation model can become a valuable tool for improving patient health and streamlining medical treatment processes. The proposed simulation model incorporates input from subject-matter experts and utilises statistical analysis to fit essential parameters based on patient data obtained from smart beds. However, authors should consider rephrasing this section to improve clarity and coherence.
Expanding the Genetic and Mutation Spectrum of
ASPM-associated Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Authors: Afsar Tayyaba , Khan Shazia , Nayab Anam , Waqas Ahmed , Mahmood Arif , Umair Muhammad , Razak Suhail
Published: September 2023

Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are a class of disorders affecting brain development and function; they are characterized by extensive genetic and clinical variability. We performed clinical, genetic, biochemical, and molecular analyses on two consanguineous families with microcephaly exhibiting an NDD. Detailed clinical investigation and molecular diagnosis were performed using whole-exome sequencing (WES), followed by Sanger sequencing for the affected families. WES revealed disease-causing homozygous variants in two families associated with microcephaly and NDDs. In family A and family B, we identified two previously reported homozygous variants (c.3978G>A; Trp1326* and c.4309C>A; p.Arg1437Ser) in the
ASPM gene. Both the variants were further confirmed using bi-directional Sanger sequencing. In the present study, we presented literature review regarding the NDDs and microcephaly associated with
ASPM pathogenesis. These findings contribute to studies of genotype–phenotype correlation, genetic counseling of the families, inclusion of
ASPM in newborn screening, and further understanding of human brain function and development.
Textual Emotion Analysis-based Disabled People Talking Using Improved Metaheuristics with Deep Learning Techniques for Intelligent Systems
Authors: Alshahrani Haya Mesfer , Yaseen Ishfaq , Drar Suhanda
Published: September 2023

Due to the complexity of generalizing and modeling the series of brain signals, detecting emotions in people with sensory disabilities still continues to be challenging. Hence, brain–computer interface technology was used to study the emotions and behavior of people based on brain signals. Emotion analysis is a widely used and robust data mining analysis method. It provides an excellent opportunity to monitor, evaluate, determine, and understand the sentiments of consumers with respect to a product or a service. Yet, a recognition model of emotions in people with visual disabilities has not been evaluated, even though previous studies have already proposed the classification of emotions in people with sensory disabilities using machine learning approaches. Therefore, this study introduces a new salp swarm algorithm with deep recurrent neural network-based textual emotion analysis (SSADRNN-TEA) technique for disabled persons. The major intention of the SSADRNN-TEA technique was to focus on the detection and classification of emotions that exist in social media content. In this work, the SSADRNN-TEA technique undergoes preprocessing to make the input data compatible with the latter stages of processing and BERT word embedding process is applied. Moreover, deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) model is exploited. Finally, SSA is exploited for the optimal adjustment of the DRNN hyperparameters. A widespread experiment is involved in simulating the real-time performance of the SSADRNN-TEA method. The experimental values revealed the improved performance of the SSADRNN-TEA technique in terms of several evaluation metrics.
Exploring Growth Strategies of European Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the Service Sector using ChatGPT
Authors: Cui Linmu
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the development of the artificial intelligence is changing with each passing day. Artificial intelligence has more and more application scenarios in modern production and life, generating more value and sparking numerous discussions. The epoch-making significance of the launch of ChatGPT (and its successive version GPT4) in late 2022 cannot be overstated. In just two months, it became the fastest application in human history to exceed 100 million registered users worldwide and is considered the core digital product of the next-generation technological revolution, with great potential for development. ChatGPT's high intelligence can efficiently solve many problems faced by the European small and medium-sized enterprises in the service sector, providing more possible approaches for their growth. To explore growth strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises in the service sector, semi-structured interviews have been conducted (n=24) and a qualitative methodology is used to analyze the role that ChatGPT can play. The optimization and assistance that ChatGPT can bring to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the service sector is analyzed in a structured way from the aspects of human resource management, strategy decision making, fund raising, service research and development, finance, marketing, sales, administration and operation. Based on findings and existing research on the role of artificial intelligence in SMEs’ development, the authors propose development paths and implementation strategies for ChatGPT technology to assist small and medium-sized enterprises in optimization and growing.
Domestic Savings and International Capital Flows in the EU
Authors: Mlodkowski Pawel
Published: September 2023

This paper uses new statistical estimates to test for effects of economic integration in Europe on international capital mobility. In a world of perfect capital mobility, one should experience little or not statistically significant relationship between the amount of domestic savings and domestic investment. Alternatively, under less-than perfect capital international mobility, diverse portfolio preferences and country-specific transactions costs would create impediments for long-term capital flows. This would result in direct connection between any changes (increases) in domestic savings and domestic investment. According to empirical results of a similar empirical study by Feldstein and Horioka (1980) for developed countries (including some of current EU members included in this investigation), there were portfolio preferences and institutional rigidities, which resulted in almost equal corresponding differences in domestic investment rates driven by domestic savings rates among major industrial countries.

The current study tests for capital mobility in the EU Member States (2010-2020) discussing compatibility of findings with previous evidence found in the literature (Feldstein and Horioka 1980). It also addresses the optimal national savings policy, tax incidence and concludes on capital formation in the EU.
Engelchöre
Authors: Huck Oliver
Published: September 2023

Alle im deutschsprachigen Raum im langen 19. Jahrhundert komponierten Symphonien mit Gesang sind erhabene Ausnahmekompositionen, in denen die Vorstellung von Engelchören eine Rolle spielt.
Als er Franz Liszt vergeblich das Chorfinale in dessen Dante-Symphonie auszureden versuchte, bezeichnete Richard Wagner das Finale von Ludwig van Beethovens 9. Symphonie als der „Verlegenheit eines wirklichen Tondichters […], der nicht weiss, wie er endlich (nach Hölle und Fegefeuer) das Paradies darstellen soll“ geschuldet.
Aber auch in Felix Mendelssohns Lobgesang, Gustav Mahlers 3. Symphonie mit dem Satz Was mir die Engel erzählen, der von Liszt und Mahler komponierten Schlussszene aus Goethes Faust und Arnold Schönbergs zunächst als Schlusssatz einer Symphonie konzipierter Jakobsleiter ist die Evokation von Engelchören zentral.
Die Interpretationen der Symphonien mit Gesang von Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Mahler, Schönberg und Jean Louis Nicodé stellen die Aktualisierungen einer Musik der Engel in den Mittelpunkt. Ein textgenetischer Zugang zielt gleichermaßen darauf ab, die Relevanz der Vorstellungen von Engelchören in den Symphonien zu akzentuieren wie auch diese zu relativieren.
Raspberry and Blueberry Viruses
Authors: Yurtmen Melike
Published: September 2023

Berry fruits are nutrient-rich foods and proved to be beneficial for human health. High nutraceutical properties of these fruits, in particular, blueberries and raspberries, such with exceptionally high antioxidant levels, fiber, and a low natural sugar content have an important criterion for the marketable value as well. Thus, they are defined as functional foods. Naturally, rapid increases in their production and consumption rates during recent years, therefore, make sense. In the cultivation of these berry crops, satisfactory yields and quality of the produce posed a threat by certain pests in the world. Blueberries and raspberries are also infected with viruses that have been identified as new viruses on top of existing ones as a result of expanding cultivation areas around the world. Incurable plant pathogenic viruses cause major damage to the members of blueberry and raspberry as if serious yield losses and longevity of plantings. This chapter is intended to compile knowledge of pathogenic plant viruses that infect blueberry and raspberry plants. Herein, a review of geographic distribution, importance, symptoms, transmission, detection, and management of these berry viruses are provided for the readers.
RET proto-oncogene
Authors: Takahashi Masahide
Published: September 2023

The rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase and its alterations cause various cancers and developmental disorders. Gain-of-function mutations caused by gene rearrangements have been found in papillary thyroid carcinoma, non-small-cell lung carcinoma, and other cancers, while point mutations are responsible for hereditary cancer syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2, and sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma. Loss-of-function point mutations or deletions lead to Hirschsprung disease, a developmental disorder associated with aganglionosis of the intestinal tract. RET is also involved in various physiological and developmental functions through activation by glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs). Gene knockout studies have revealed that GDNF-RET signaling plays an essential role in the development of the enteric nervous system, kidney, and urinary tract, as well as in the self-renewal of spermatogonial stem cells. Moreover, recent progress in developing RET-selective inhibitors has significantly contributed to treating patients with RET-altered cancers. This chapter describes and discusses the functions associated with disease and physiology.

Published: September 2023

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Due to the virus transmission and propagation since its origin, numerous mutations and variants have occurred. The concern relies on the ability to evade natural immunity and cause infections, even bypassing the immunity generated after the application of vaccines. The World Health Organization classified the variants into “variants of interest” (VOI) and “variants of concern” (VOC). From 2020 to 2021, the VOC variants were the alpha, beta, gamma, and delta types, currently adding the omicron variant. On the other hand, the VOI variants were the eta, iota, kappa, lambda, and mu types. The importance of their study leads to the problem of the possible generation of new waves of contagion, after their appearance, with a high possibility that the immunity known as herd achieved with some previous variant does not become effective.
Physiotherapy in Chronic Venous Disease
Authors: Eidenberger Margit
Published: September 2023

Chronic venous disease is a highly prevalent disorder. Risk factors are obesity, smoking, orthostasis, and family history. Pathophysiology encompasses changes such as venous hypertension, reflux, valve incompetencies, and calf-muscle weakness. Patients complain about skin changes, leg edema, pain, and ulcers. Possible recurrence of varicoses and surgery complications shift the focus on conservative approaches. The mainstay is compression therapy, applied by using multi-layer compression bandages or adequate compression stockings. Active exercises tackle muscle pump weakness, ankle joint restrictions, and physical activity. Aerobic exercises focus on lower limb activities (walking, cycling, aqua exercises) and are complemented by resistance exercises and muscle stretching. The gait pattern needs analysis and adaptation. Breathing exercises and manual lymphatic drainage act as a supplement. A critical factor for success is the patient’s adherence to lifestyle changes and health behavior. Therapists must motivate, guide, and educate their patients. They advise them on clothes/shoes and activities of daily life.

Published: September 2023

Climate change is undisputedly one of the most significant problems in the world. CO2 emissions are getting higher by the hour. Bahrain’s kingdom has obligations to reach zero emissions by 2060. The Bahrain climate championship was conducted in Manama to raise the awareness of the community as a whole. The target is to bring the youth’s attention to the alarming matter. This paper examined students’ knowledge, attitudes and practices related to climate change using pre-and post-questionnaires. The majority of the surveyed students have poor knowledge about climate change. However, the post-questionnaires naturally show reasonable improvements. This means that students have benefited from the climate championship conducted in Bahrain and the enrichment unit provided. Similarly, few significant improvements were noticed in students’ attitudes and practices towards climate change. This research utilised the climate change champions conducted in Bahrain to disseminate the KAP questionnaire of this research.
A Deep Dig into the Feature of “Situational Selves” of Online Identity: A Review of the Concept/Theory of “Situational Selves”
Authors: Qin Yue , Jeffrey Ricky , Lv Di
Published: September 2023

This review makes a deep dig into the feature of “situational selves” of online identities, by dividing it into five parts and adding new knowledge to each of them in detail, aiming to shed new insights into cognitive-behavioral theories. First, comparing two parts—concept of situation and self, “situational selves” do not stand at the combination point. This chapter argues that individual behavior is situational but unpredictable, is a temporary reaction but not a permanent reaction, and reacts to certain situations differently and actively but not passively. Furthermore, it elaborates on the process of situational selves by synthesizing the other three parts—perceived situation and imaginary audience, taking an advantageous direction, and revision according to any feedback. Finally, it suggests that when focusing on situations, research should pursue similar parts of individuals’ behaviors to illustrate the features of that targeted situation. However, when focusing on individuals, research should pursue individual differences among different situations to illustrate the features of that targeted identity.

Documents without Borders: Beneath the Rubble
Authors: Shaffer Dory
Published: September 2023

In my first few columns exploring the intricacies of international governmental information, I focused primarily on information provided by nations with strong institutions and long established international governmental organizations (IGOs). While I briefly mentioned potential flaws in information and data related to cultural preferences and willful misleading—I stayed away from discussing finding and evaluating information from nations with weak institutions. Government information specialists are well aware of the complexity of navigating a labyrinth of bureaucratic information that varies in how accessible it is, but what happens without even the assurance of that imperfect system? Nations that are mired in ongoing conflict, corruption, or whose institutions have been threatened by financial or climate crises face unique challenges in sharing or even preserving information. This column will look at examples of these situations, and strategies for accessing information that feels as though it is buried beneath the rubble.
The Bureau of Home Economics: How Women Harnessed the Power of Science and Nutrition to Help Fight WWII and Improve Life on the Home Front
Authors: Whinihan Erika
Published: September 2023

Home economics, as a field of scientific research and practice that aims to improve quality of life, does not get the attention in the twenty-first century that it should. When thinking of this subject, one might picture middle school students learning how to sew or attempting to cook an ill-fated meal, but in the late nineteenth century and through most of the twentieth century, home economics was a thriving field that provided an area for women to contribute to their communities, families, and to their country during war times. The Bureau of Home Economics and the women who ran this organization could disseminate information that directly contributed to improving lives on the home front and aiding in the War effort between 1939 and 1945.

Authors: Kayır Tuba , Demir Emre , Alıç Taner , Kayır Selçuk
Published: September 2023

Objective: Pain is a public health problem, which is caused by various etiological factors and leads to diminished quality of life and decreased workforce. The aim of this study was to determine whether Biogel has an effect in the treatment of pain.
Methods: Patients due to acute pain in the upper extremity and/or trunk were divided into two groups as treatment and placebo by randomization method. For the patients in the treatment group,the non-interventional Biogel was applied for 10 minutes. For the control group, a non-interventional placebo was applied for 10 mins. A record was made of patient demographic data,the region of the pain, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) values before and after the application. All the patients in both groups were administered a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain severity,and the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) before and after the applications. The data obtained were compared.
Results: In the biogel group, a statistically significant decrease was determined in the NHP-P values after treatment compared to before treatment (P<0.001). In the placebo group,no statistically significant difference was determined in the NHP-P values before and after treatment (P=0.104). In the Biogel group,a statistically significant decrease was determined in the VAS values after treatment compared to before treatment (P<0.001). In the placebo group,no statistically significant difference was determined in the VAS values before and after treatment (P=0.157).
Conclusion: These types of complementary medicine applications focussed on pain treatment can reduce the disease burden and can probably reduce costs.

One of the privileges of the Special Region of Yogyakarta is the issue of land. In the Special Region of Yogyakarta, not all Indonesian citizens can obtain property rights as stipulated in the law. It's as if the regional government is discriminating against Indonesian citizens, especially non-Indigenous Indonesian citizens. With the Instruction of the Deputy Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta No. K.898/I/A/1975, it has become increasingly clear in the land polemic in the Special Region of Yogyakarta that there have been discriminatory actions in the land sector.

John W. Jackson Jr., better known as John W. “Bud” Fowler (1858–1913), was a Black baseball player, captain, manager, umpire, and promoter. His baseball career spanned at least 33 years, from 1877 to 1909. In 1878, Fowler became the first known Black baseball player in the major or minor leagues, and he went on to play for a total of 18 minor league clubs with rosters composed predominantly of white ballplayers during the era of racial segregation. He played for numerous teams from New England to southern California and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Consequently, he was the most widely known Black baseball player in the country during his lifetime. In 2022, Fowler was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He has been the subject of two full biographies, the latest of which was published in 2013. Nevertheless, substantial gaps remain in what has been documented about Fowler’s career and his life outside baseball. This is due, in large part, to the limited availability of digital newspapers and other resources from across the broad geographic area in which he lived and played. As additional information becomes available, it is possible to fill some of the gaps and refine some of what has already been published about him. The three essays included here are part of that process. They describe and document Fowler’s time in Colorado (1885), southern California (the winter of 1888–1889), and Ohio (periodically from 1880 to 1905). The Ohio essay also focuses on his professional relationship with dentist William H. Drake in Findlay.

Published: September 2023

Sosyal ağ teorisi son yıllarda üst kademedeki yöneticilerin davranışlarını açıklamada kullanılan yaklaşımlardan birisidir. Sosyal ağ teorisine artan ilgiye rağmen Türkçe alan yazında üst kademede yer alan yöneticilerin (özellikle CEO) sosyal ağları hakkında çok nadir çalışma mevcuttur. Söz konusu eksiklik, üst kademedeki yöneticilerin sosyal ağları hangi amaçlarla kullandığı ve sosyal ağların örgütler için nasıl sonuçlara neden olduğunu öngörmeye engel olmaktadır. Bu araştırma kapsamında CEO sosyal ağlarının örgütlere sağladığı avantajlar ve dezavantajların özetlenmesi ve CEO sosyal ağları hakkında bir tartışma gündemi oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada sosyal ağ teorisi alayazın incelenmiş ve CEO sosyal ağlarının örgütlere sağladığı avantajlar ve dezavantajlara hakkındaki araştırma sonuçları derlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, Türkçe alanyazında az sayıdaki çalışmanın, üst kademe yöneticilerin sosyal ağlarının örgütlere olumlu ya da olumsuz sonuçlarını değerlendirmek için yeterli olmadığı savunulmuştur. Ayrıca sosyal ağların avantajlarından faydalanma, dezavantajlarından korunma için öneriler sunulmuştur. Son olarak, çalışma sosyal ağlar hakkında yapılacak olan araştırmalara öneriler ile sonlandırılmıştır.
