Published: October 2024

Telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita is an acquired cutaneous telangiectasis of unknown aetiology, and it lacks both effective and cost-efficient treatment. This study aims to identify a novel potential associated factor of the disease and explore feasible therapeutic interventions. In this retrospective case series study, 46 Chinese patients diagnosed with telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita between 1 January 2007 and 18 May 2023 were included. The median age of onset was 43 years (23 to 60 years), and the male to female ratio was 10.5:1. Besides previously reported associations including chronic liver disorders, alcohol consumption, and smoking, a potential association was found between use of calcium channel blockers and development of telangiectasia macularis multiplex acquisita. Twenty-two of 27 hypertensive patients took calcium channel blockers, with 17 followed up. Ten out of 17 displayed a range of improvements following the cessation of calcium channel blockers; 1 patient reported no lesion change post-discontinuation of calcium channel blockers; 1 patient continued their medication but showed partial improvement after 2 pulsed dye laser treatments; 1 patient observed lesion colour lightening without altering hypertensive medication or other specific treatments; and another 4 kept their previous hypertensive regimen due to blood pressure stability concerns, with no change in their lesions. The study proposes that cessation of calcium channel blockers can be a novel therapeutic approach for affected individuals.

Published: October 2024

Each year, an average of 23,000 missing persons reports are filed in Spain. Although most of them are resolved in the first few days, a significant number of people remain in the databases for years. The impact of a disappearance at all levels is not limited to the missing person's immediate environment but extends to different groups-professionals, community, and society-with a particular impact on family members and next of kin. Good practices in the assistance provided to the latter are crucial due to the associated benefits. The role of the psychology professional, specialized in disappearances, is essential in the areas of prevention, intervention, and postvention.

Published: October 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitalization of relationships between firms and customers. It acted as a driver for the growth of firms' website traffic, the development of social media accounts and mobile applications. Digital communications are becoming an important component of the customer relationship management system. At the same time, the impact of digital communications on the financial performance of firms has not been sufficiently studied in the scientific literature. The purpose of this paper is to identify differences in the financial performance of firms depending on the intensity of digital communications with customers. The theoretical part of the paper shows that new opportunities for the customer relationship management system are provided by Internet technologies and the transition to online interaction with consumers. We substantiated the relevance of studying the impact of digital communications with customers on the financial performance of firms and formulated the appropriate hypotheses for testing. A conceptual scheme and research methodology have been developed. Method. Digital communications with customers are measured through the attendance (traffic) of the company's website. We distinguish four groups of companies (Star, Traffic, Growth, Poor) depending on the amount of traffic at the beginning of the period and its growth during the study period. Comparison of the financial indicators of these groups is carried out using analysis of variance. Based on these calculations, we determine the group profiles for each indicator and the total group profiles. Calculations are performed in the context of economic sectors. The study period is 2017-2020. The proposed methodology will allow us, using analysis of variance, to determine the impact of digital communications with customers on the main financial indicators of firms in the context of the sectors of the Russian economy.

Authors: Ivanova Anna A. , Yurova Polina N. , Smyslova Olga Yu.
Published: October 2024

This article, based on a review of the scientific works of Russian agricultural scientists, analyses the essence and features of the formation of the resource potential of the agro-industrial complex's agrarian sector in order to determine its role in ensuring the sustainable development of rural areas. In the course of the study, the constituent elements of the resource potential necessary for the expanded reproduction of the economic system and the main features indicating the existence of a close relationship with the sustainable development of rural areas were identified. These include: the historical established feature of the development of agricultural production as the main type of economic activity of the villagers, the main source of their employment and income; the ability of efficient sustainable agro-enterprises to create an attractive environment for life and activity in rural areas through the provision of better working conditions and support to the local rural community; dependence of the efficiency of using the resource potential of agricultural enterprises and its impact on the development of rural areas on the degree of specificity of their assets. Thus, the work concluded that the effectiveness of their activities, as well as the ability to provide assistance and support in the development of rural areas, depends on the size of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises and the rationality of its use (management). The identified signs of the impact of agricultural enterprises on the sustainable development of rural areas confirm the hypothesis set in the study, indicate the existence of a close relationship between them and determine the need to develop a set of measures to support and develop agribusiness. For these purposes, the article proposes strategic directions that can help reduce the negative impact of external factors and create conditions for increasing the resource potential of agricultural enterprises.

The Method of G.V. Plekhanov in the Study of the Doctrines of A.P. Shchapov and N.G. Chernyshevsky (50-80s of the 19th Century)
Authors: Madzharov Alexander S.
Published: October 2024

G.V. Plekhanov's research attracted the attention of specialists. But not all of his works have become the subject of historiographical analysis. The article dedicated to the historian A.P. Shchapov and the applied methodology embodied in it were not studied. G.V. Plekhanov highly appreciated the importance of the scientist's personality and creativity in the formation of the populist ideology and the democratic concept of Russian history. He identified federalist (A.P. Shchapov) and centralist (N.G. Chernyshevsky) trends in the democratic direction of Russian historiography and stressed the need to study the works of the historian, but did not disclose the historical aspect of the topic. The doctrine of A.P. Shchapov, which highlights the creative role of the masses in the history of Russia, and its place in the historiography of the 60s of the 19th century, remained outside the study. Criticizing the narodnik model of historical knowledge, G.V. Plekhanov relied on Marxist ideas about the future: revolution, the state, the proletariat, class differentiation, the place of the people (peasantry) in this process. The critic's conclusions were based on comparative (analogy), deductive, probabilistic conclusions. His doctrine was a multi-vector, historiographical, political, futurological related Marxist scheme and the purpose of the study. It was structured in accordance with the task of criticism of populism and in this configuration correlated with the analyzed text, replacing the populist form (paradigm) of historical research with the Marxist one.
Modern Russian Historiography about the Polish Question in 1880s - 1918
Authors: Durov Viktor I.
Published: October 2024

The article provides a review of the works of Russian historians on the Polish question in the 1880s - 1918. At the same time, studies were considered both affecting the situation in the Russian Empire, and in Germany and Austria-Hungary. The author analyzed the Russian historiography of the period from 1991 to 2021. During this period, the research field expanded, new methodological approaches appeared, academic mobility increased, foreign and Russian archives became more accessible. Few monographs on the history of Poland were published. Let us especially note the book by G.F. Matveev «Pilsudski» (2008) and the collective monograph «Poland in the 20th century. Essays in political history» (2012). Piłsudski's biography is built on a broad historical context, showing the positions of the main social classes, political elites. However, taking into account the political activities of Piłsudski, a greater focus is directed to the pro-German and pro-Austrian social forces. Most of the studies are devoted to the place of the Polish question in the domestic policy of the Russian Empire. Such an interest is understandable, since for a long time in Soviet historiography the issues of empire management, the history of the formation of parliamentarism and the development of a multi-party system were ignored. By the centenary of the First World War and the restoration of the Polish state, a large number of publications appeared. The main topics were the history of Polish volunteer, the history of refugees, the influence of the Polish factor on international relations, and some others. Thus, a wide range of problems became the subject of researches. However, so far there is no special study on the history of Polish social movements in 1880-1919, the problem of Polish nationalism in Austria-Hungary and Germany has not been sufficiently studied.

Sorghum is a forage plant that has the ability to produce new shoots or saplings known as ratoons. This research aims to evaluate the nutritional dynamics and GE (gross energy) of Samurai II sorghum variety due to differences in treatment at harvest age and urea fertilizer dosage. This study used a completely randomized factorial design (3 x 3) with 3 replications. The first factor is the harvest age of 80, 85, and 90 days, and the second factor is the urea fertilizer dose of 200, 300, and 400 kg ha-1. The parameters observed were crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, ADF, NDF and GE levels. The results of the research showed that the Samurai II variety of sorghum had a significant effect on dry matter due to the treatment of cutting age in the primary harvest and ratoon 1. Furthermore, there was a difference (P<0.05) due to the sorghum dose. application of urea fertilizer to crude fiber in the primary and ratoon 2 harvests. In the Samurai II variety of sorghum there was also an interaction between cutting age and the dose of urea fertilizer in the primary and ratoon 2 harvests on the NDF content produced. The nutritional value and GM content are still stable even when cut up to ratoon 2 (third harvest)

This article analyzes the intervention of the political power of Mexico City in order to regulate access to the labor market around domestic service. The objective is to explain a fundamental question in the understanding of the meaning and implementation of the regulations that pursued this purpose: how differentiated action frameworks were created between servants, masters and public authorities when establishing guidelines for their interrelation. It is explained that in the decades after Independence, under the justification of seeking domestic and social order, that government intervention was conflictive when trying to impose closer surveillance and control over workers. But its scope was diminished, in part, because they were not willing to support it as long as it did not benefit their interests.

Republican desires and syncretic virtues. The ethical acceptability of Hugo Blair in Mexico
Authors: Santillán Gustavo
Published: October 2024

The article exposes the moral impact of Hugo Blair during the first five years of the 1830s in Mexico. Likewise, it links the ethical-rhetorical discourse of the Scot with other discursive constellations, particularly classical republicanism. The result is a porous discourse that facilitates the appearance of a syncretic virtue of secular emphasis, enunciated above all by sectors of the middle class. Finally, it proposes overcoming both the inane division between liberals and conservatives in moral matters, as well as a supposed clash between a civil ethic and a religious ethic.Keywords: Blair; moral; church; republicanism; secularization

Fostering future-ready female TVETpreneur talent framework
Authors: Teoh Wendy Ming Yen , Yen Yuen Yee , Loh John
Published: October 2024

The Malaysian government’s heightened focus on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) reflects a strategic move towards economic and social development, particularly in addressing youth unemployment. Recognizing the potential of TVET to contribute to these goals, there is a specific emphasis on enhancing the marketability of women in the workforce from the current 62 percent to an ambitious 95 percent. However, a notable gender gap persists in entrepreneurial pursuits within the TVET sector in Malaysia, with female representation lagging. To bridge this gap, this study aims to construct a comprehensive framework that nurtures future-ready female TVETpreneur talent. This initiative aligns with the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint, 2021–2025, i.e., fostering a diverse and innovative workforce. An extensive literature survey was conducted to identify the factors influencing female TVET students’ entrepreneurial intention. The literature revealed that social psychological and organizational approaches are commonly used to explore and analyze the relationship between the influence of female TVET students’ talents and behavior, their exposure to entrepreneurship, mentorship and support programs, role models in TVET, curriculum design, and access to resources. A comprehensive theoretical framework was developed based on these findings, which offers significant insights related to enhancing TVET opportunities for women and advancing Malaysia’s economic and social development goals in a sustainable way.
Abrasive Wear Resistance of High-Entropy AlCoCuFeNi Alloy in SiC Mixture
Authors: Chrzan K. , Kalandyk B. , Grudzień-Rakoczy M. , Rakoczy Ł. , Cichocki K.
Published: October 2024

The results of tribological tests carried out on two novel high-entropy alloys (HEAs) from the AlCoCuFeNi group are described in this study. Research was carried out using a Miller machine (ASTM G75 standard) in an abrasive slurry environment, which contained SiC and water in a 1:1 ratio. The results obtained showed a higher rate of abrasive wear in the material designated as D3 (total weight loss in D3-1.6g compared to 1.1g in the D5 alloy), characterised by a homogeneous microstructure and hardness of 186 HV5. The second dual phase alloy, designated D5, was characterised by a lower rate of abrasive wear. In this alloy, the appearance of the second phase precipitates, evenly distributed throughout the entire volume, with higher hardness (760 HV0,01) and in a content of approximately 65% has led to a decrease in wear. The different wear resistances of the tested materials are due to differences in the hardness of the phases that constitute the microstructure of the tested alloys and the interaction of hard abrasive particles with the tested material. This has a direct impact on the plastic nature of the deformation in the upper layers of the samples. A characteristic system of linear grooves and protrusions, visible on surface profiles, was observed on the surfaces tested. Small local defects were also observed as a result of hammering and subsequent removal of hard SiC abrasive particles from the alloys tested or, in the case of the D5 alloy, additional removal of precipitates of the harder phase from the matrix.
Testing the Veining Elimination using Pressure Changes and one Type of Additive in a Cold-box-amine Core Mixture
Authors: Delimanová P. , Vasková I. , Kožej O.
Published: October 2024

This article presents a analysis of the impact of varying amounts of a specific additive in the core mixture and adjustments in shooting pressure on the elimination of surface defects in castings, particularly veinings. These defects, often located in inaccessible areas of the casting, cannot be effectively removed through conventional methods like punching, making the optimization of the core mixture composition crucial. Additives are frequently incorporated into the core mixture, as they have become an essential component in its production. For the core mixture to be effective, it is not only essential to identify the appropriate type of additive but also to precisely determine the optimal quantity of the additive and accurately set other critical production parameters, such as shooting pressure.This study investigates the influence of additive concentration and shooting pressure on the surface quality of cast iron castings, employing the cold box method for core production. The findings reveal that higher shooting pressure contributes positively to the reduction of veining defects. However, an increased additive content in the core mixture does not necessarily ensure vein-free castings. The additive also plays a role in reducing the gas content within the core, and increased core hardness is associated with a decrease in the occurrence of veining defects. The casting with the highest surface quality and the fewest veinings was produced using cores made from a mixture with 1% additive content, subjected to a shooting pressure of 4 bars.

The TruJan corpus was compiled from the GovInfo website. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC-22) was used for the analysis to extract the most frequent topics discussed by the interviewees during the hearings, along with sentences that showcase the attitudes of the speakers regarding the most salient issues. The second part of the article offers a close reading of the depositions and interviews with movement leaders or founders: Ali Alexander (Stop the Steal), Henry “Enrique” Tarrio (Proud Boys), and Stewart Rhodes (Oath Keepers). We argue that Trumpism’s latent totalist potential was made manifest in the January 6 attacks due to the political setbacks Trump faced when losing the 2020 elections, which was perceived as a state of crisis.

Published: October 2024

For the large number of news reports generated every day, in order to obtain effective information from these unstructured news text data more efficiently. In this paper, we study the real-time crawling of news data from news websites through crawling techniques and propose a BERT model-based approach to extract events from news long text. In this study, NetEase news website is selected as an example for real-time extraction to crawl the news data of this website. BERT model as a pre-trained model based on two-way encoded representation of transformer performs well on natural language understanding and natural language generation tasks. In this study, we will fine-tune the training based on BERT model on news corpus related dataset and perform sequence annotation through CRF layer to finally complete the event extraction task. In this paper, the DUEE dataset is chosen to train the model, and the experiments show that the overall performance of the BERT model is better than other network models. Finally, the model of this paper is further optimised, using the ALBERT and RoBERTa models improved on the basis of the BERT model, experiments were conducted, the results show that both models are improved compared to the BERT model, the ALBERT model algorithm performs the best, the model algorithm's F1 value is 1% higher than that of BERT. The results show that the performance is optimised.

Abstract With the rapid development of computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies, indoor scene reconstruction has been more and more widely used in the fields of virtual reality, augmented reality and architectural design. In this paper, we study an indoor scene reconstruction method based on the 3DGS model, which has been widely used in computer graphics and vision processing with powerful scene representation and rendering capabilities. In this study, we optimize the 3DGS model to enhance the detail preservation and realism of the reconstruction results by adjusting the opacity of the Gaussian function. We used the Replica dataset and the self-harvested dataset for model training. Through experimental validation, the peak signal-to-noise ratio as well as the structural similarity ratio of the reconstruction results of the optimized model have an improvement effect of more than 1%, which indicates that the optimized model has a significant improvement in detail retention and realism, and the reconstructed scene performs more realistically in terms of texture details and light and shadow effects.

Leadership for social justice is a goal and a challenge for the National Pedagogical University (UPN) in Mexico City. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of UPN directors in the context of leadership for social justice. The focus of the study is on those who are responsible for preparation and continuous training of teachers (García, 2006; Jiménez, 2009). The research design was qualitative based on subjective interpretation from the meanings generated by the participants (Bisquerra, 2014). It describes and analyses the experiences of five directors of school units through in-depth interviews where both the person and the environment are of interest.

The findings were reported in the voices of the directors. Supportive factors included teamwork through building consensus and recognition of achievements, commitment to students, and critical awareness. The obstacles to leadership included the quality of facilities, vertical management, job uncertainty, the challenging profile of the students, and inter-institutional relations. This study of leadership of directors of UPN has the potential to strengthen the management of the UPN school units and enhance institutional objectives to promote inclusion and guarantee the right to education. It also has implications for the study of social justice leadership in other educational contexts.
Preferências Temporais no Contexto Cultural e a Relação com o Maquiavelismo: Um Estudo sob uma Perspectiva em Finanças

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: investigar a existência da relação entre o grau de maquiavelismo e o nível de paciência na perspectiva das preferências temporais das finanças comportamentais, considerando as dimensões culturais e informações sociodemográficas.
 
Referencial Teórico: Apresenta os conceitos e as teorias mais importantes que fundamentam a pesquisa, relacionando as características de personalidade — maquiavelismo e impaciência — fatores sociodemográficos, ambiente cultural de profissionais e preferência temporal nas tomadas de decisão em investimentos.
 
Método: Metodologia de abordagem empírico-teórica, do tipo descritiva, com dados coletados por meio de questionário em todas as regiões brasileiras, totalizando 377 respostas válidas de profissionais que atuam com informações financeiras, disponibilizado de forma remota, em cursos pós-graduação na área de gestão em todos os estados da federação, como também divulgado em redes sociais, durante o ano de 2021/2022. A técnica principal de análise de resultados foi a regressão linear multivariada, por meio de reamostragem, para testar as hipóteses.
 
Resultados e Discussão: Os resultados indicam que os sujeitos com menor grau de maquiavelismo demonstraram ser mais impacientes no curto e no longo prazo, tanto no nível individual quanto ao considerar as regiões brasileiras nas quais ele reside. A localização geográfica não interfere nesse processo. Pessoas do sexo feminino são mais impacientes em curto prazo.
 
Implicações da Pesquisa: Esses resultados ampliam os estudos da área das finanças comportamentais para a construção de um arcabouço teórico mais robusto, ao dialogar com características de personalidade e com o ambiente cultural de profissionais imbricados na tomada de decisão de investimentos.
 
Originalidade/Valor: Os resultados desta pesquisa contribuem nos aspectos teórico e prático — ampliam o debate ainda pouco explorado sobre estudos entre maquiavelismo e impaciência e traz uma abordagem comportamental e empírica, com estudantes de pós-gradução da área de negócios, permitindo a reflexão sobre como o indíviduo é influenciado pelo ambiente cultural e por aspectos emocionais que envolvem o nível de paciência nas atividades laborais.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of different irrigation activation techniques (IATs) on smear layer removal after post-space preparation. Methods: Forty single-rooted mandibular premolars with no root canal treatment were selected. Teeth were decoronated at 15 mm, and apical patency was confirmed using a #10 K-file. The ProTaper Next NiTi file system was used to shape the root canal. Afterward, the root canals were filled with gutta-percha and a root canal sealer. A week later, 10-mm postspace preparation was done. Teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups based on the IATs used to activate 3 mL of 17% EDTA for 1 min: 1) control group with a conventional needle; 2) sonic irrigation (SI); 3) passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI); and 4) laser-activated irrigation (LAI). Teeth were split longitudinally, and specimens were observed under a scanning electron microscope. Images were taken at the teeth’ coronal, middle, and apical thirds at ×2000 magnification and were scored based on the presence of the smear layer. Data were analyzed statistically. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed between the IATs regarding smear layer removal (p>0.05). However, PUI was more successful at the coronal and apical third, and SI was more successful in the middle third. Conclusions: All the used IATs were effective in removing the smear layer. However, none of them removed it completely.
