Published: June 2024

Soil salinization is a significantconstraint affecting the productivity of agricultural land worldwide. This led to the abandoning of the production of farmcrops on colossalland. Soil salinity inversely affects seed germination and plant growth and influences the plant’s biological activities like photosynthesis, respiration, plant metabolism, enzymatic activities, hormone regulation, etc. Therefore, efforts are being made to bring the saline soil under cultivation by improving itthrough a proper drainage system to drain out the salts orapplying chemical amendments. However, these options are costly and energy-intensive for employment in large areas on a vast scale. In this direction, biologically cost-effective approaches are also being practiced to improve these degraded lands. Phytoremediation, a plant-based approach to improving degraded soil, may be an appropriate option. This is done by the plantation of salt-tolerant plant species, which can remove and leach down excess salts like sodium (Na+) from the soil and enhance calcium (Ca2+) salts through the cation exchange process from the root zone. During this process, remarkable properties like soil-aggregates stability, root proliferation, soil hydraulic properties, and nutrient availability to plants are also improved. Such improvement in soil properties facilitates the cultivation of less tolerant plants and improves the environment in general and the climatic conditions by enhancing carbon sequestration.
A Comprehensive Analysis of COVID-19 Misinformation, Public Health Impacts, and Communication Strategies: Scoping Review
Authors: Kisa Sezer , Kisa Adnan
Published: June 2024

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic was marked by an infodemic, characterized by the rapid spread of both accurate and false information, which significantly affected public health. This infodemic led to confusion, mistrust in health authorities, noncompliance with health guidelines, and engagement in risky health behaviors. Understanding the dynamics of misinformation during the pandemic is crucial for developing effective public health communication strategies.

Objective

This comprehensive analysis aimed to examine the complexities of COVID-19 misinformation. Specifically, it sought to identify the sources and themes of misinformation, the target audiences most affected, and the effectiveness of various public health communication strategies in mitigating misinformation.

Methods

This scoping review used the MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, and Scopus databases to identify relevant studies. An established, methodical framework for scoping reviews was used to review literature published between December 2019 and September 2023. The inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies published in English that address COVID-19 misinformation and its sources, themes, and target audiences, as well as the effectiveness of public health communication strategies.

Results

The scoping review identified that misinformation significantly impacted mental health, vaccine hesitancy, and health care decision-making. Social media and traditional media were major conduits for spreading misinformation. Key misinformation themes included the origins of the virus, ineffective treatments, and misunderstandings about public health measures. Misinformation sources ranged from social media platforms to traditional media outlets and informal networks. The impact of misinformation was found to vary across different regions and demographic groups, with vulnerable populations being disproportionately affected. Effective strategies to counter misinformation included enhancing health literacy; using digital technology; promoting clear, authoritative communication; and implementing fact-checking mechanisms. In addition, community engagement and targeted health campaigns played a crucial role in addressing misinformation.

Conclusions

The review emphasizes the critical need for accurate and consistent messaging to combat misinformation. Cooperative efforts among policy makers, health professionals, and communication experts are essential for developing effective interventions. Addressing the infodemic is vital for building a well-informed, health-literate society capable of handling misinformation in future global health crises. The study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of misinformation and highlights the importance of robust public health communication strategies. These findings can guide future efforts to mitigate the impact of misinformation during health emergencies.
Real-World Survival Comparisons Between Radiotherapy and Surgery for Metachronous Second Primary Lung Cancer and Predictions of Lung Cancer–Specific Outcomes Using Machine Learning: Population-Based Study (Preprint)
Authors: Zheng Yue , Zhao Ailin , Yang Yuqi , Wang Laduona , Hu Yifei , Luo Ren , Wu Yijun
Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Metachronous second primary lung cancer (MSPLC) is not that rare but is seldom studied.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to compare real-world survival outcomes between different surgery strategies and radiotherapy for MSPLC.

METHODS

This retrospective study analyzed data collected from patients with MSPLC between 1988 and 2012 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Propensity score matching (PSM) analyses and machine learning were performed to compare variables between patients with MSPLC. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using log-rank tests.

RESULTS

A total of 2451 MSPLC patients were categorized into the following treatment groups: 864 (35.3%) received radiotherapy, 759 (31%) underwent surgery, 89 (3.6%) had surgery plus radiotherapy, and 739 (30.2%) had neither treatment. After PSM, 470 pairs each for radiotherapy and surgery were generated. The surgery group had significantly better survival than the radiotherapy group (P<.001) and the untreated group (563 pairs; P<.001). Further analysis revealed that both wedge resection (85 pairs; P=.004) and lobectomy (71 pairs; P=.002) outperformed radiotherapy in overall survival for MSPLC patients. Machine learning models (extreme gradient boosting, random forest classifier, adaptive boosting) demonstrated high predictive performance based on area under the curve (AUC) values. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis identified 9 significant variables impacting cancer-specific survival, emphasizing surgery’s consistent influence across 1 year to 10 years. These variables encompassed age at diagnosis, sex, year of diagnosis, radiotherapy of initial primary lung cancer (IPLC), primary site, histology, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy of MPSLC. Competing risk analysis highlighted lower mortality for female MPSLC patients (hazard ratio [HR]=0.79, 95% CI 0.71-0.87) and recent IPLC diagnoses (HR=0.79, 95% CI 0.73-0.85), while radiotherapy for IPLC increased mortality (HR=1.31, 95% CI 1.16-1.50). Surgery alone had the lowest cancer-specific mortality (HR=0.83, 95% CI 0.81-0.85), with sublevel resection having the lowest mortality rate among the surgical approaches (HR=0.26, 95% CI 0.21-0.31). The findings provide valuable insights into the factors that influence cumulative cancer-specific mortality.

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical resections such as wedge resection and lobectomy confer better survival than radiation therapy for MSPLC, but radiation can be a valid alternative for the treatment of MSPLC.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic was a paradigm shift in global healthcare. This situation highlighted the role of telemedicine in adapting to the care requirements of pediatric patients and their families by facilitating remote consultations and ensuring continuity of care.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to establish the usefulness of a telemedicine program for caregivers of complex chronic children

METHODS

We performed a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention study of a telemedicine program, regarding healthcare system use and caregiver quality of life, and comparing two periods: before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was performed on caregivers of complex chronic children followed in a specialized unit

RESULTS

34 families were included. The mean number of visits per year was higher in the pre-intervention period for both primary care consultations (p<0.039) and hospital-specialized medical consultations (p<0.031). The number of emergency room visits per year was lower in the pandemic period compared to the pre-pandemic period (p<0.012). In both groups, an improvement in caregiver quality of life at 12 months was detected (p<0.035). However, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale score of the primary caregiver was significantly lower at three months compared to the baseline (p<0.030)

CONCLUSIONS

Our study demonstrates that the use of a telemedicine program during the pandemic, resulted in a decrease in scheduled face-to-face care and a reduction in the number of emergency department visits. Regarding the caregiver quality of life, it was worse in those families who had a child affected by a neurological condition or whose child was older when the disease was diagnosed.

CLINICALTRIAL

This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Malaga in May 2017 (reference: PIN-0287-2016).

Authors: Chendey T.V. , Sirchak Ye.S. , Chendey V.I.
Published: June 2024

Background. The presence of metabolic-associated pathology, namely obesity, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), significantly accelerates the development of the cardiovascular continuum. This is associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events (myocardial infarction, stroke). An important organ damage in hypertension (HTN) is the remodeling of small arteries and an increase in stiffness of large arteries. The relationship between NAFLD, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity (especially abdominal), diabetes, and HTN is well studied, but there is a lack of clinical studies examining changes in arterial stiffness in NAFLD. Aim of the research was to study the parameters of arterial stiffness in patients with NAFLD. Materials and methods. Eighty-two Caucasian patients with NAFLD (mean age (56.8 ± 1.1) years, 59.8 % men) were enrolled. Participants were divided into two groups: group 1 (n = 44) — NAFLD and concomitant HTN, group 2 (n = 38) — HTN without NAFLD. All patients underwent a standard general clinical examination, laboratory and instrumental work-up. In addition, all patients were assessed for the parameters of arterial stiffness via non-invasive arteriography. Results. Patients with NAFLD had significantly higher office systolic and diastolic blood pressure (by 15.2 and 10.4 %, respectively, p < 0.01) despite comparable drug therapy. The same trends were observed in relation to the central aortic pressure, which was 19.3 % higher in patients with NAFLD (p < 0.01), and central pulse pressure that was 35.9 % higher than in patients without NAFLD (p < 0.01). Brachial artery augmentation index in NAFLD turned to be elevated compared to patients without NAFLD (p < 0.01), but aortic augmentation index was comparable between groups. The return time interval in group 1 was 50.3 % higher than in group 2 (p < 0.01). Finally, patients with NAFLD had a significant increase in pulse wave velocity by 52.3 % compared to those without NAFLD with average value exceeding 12 m/sec (p < 0.01). Conclusions. There is an association between NAFLD and worse indices of arterial stiffness in patients with concomitant HTN.

Published: June 2024

Background. The diagnosis of a chronic disease represents a turning point in patients’ lives, which inevitably marks them. The aim of this study was to analyze perceived stress levels among Crohn’ disease (CD) patients depending on sampling characteristics and several difficulties occurred in their daily life in order to better address stress management interventions to increase their quality of life as patients who should cohabitate with CD for all their lives. Materials and methods. An on-line, multicenter, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out through social Internet pages. Specifically, through the Facebook and Instagram groups belonging to the CD patients. Results. A total of 785 CD interviewers were achieved in this study, 597 were female and 188 were male. Significant higher stress perceived levels were assessed among females (p < 0.001) and CD interviewers who knew their disease until 10 years (p < 0.001). Higher levels in stress perceptions were reported in all the difficulties proposed, in which CD interviewers reported a quite level of difficulties occurred on them (p < 0.001). Conclusions. This study demonstrated that patients with Crohn’s disease live in a condition of high stress and that this condition implies changes in the quality of life with considerable difficulty.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ULTRASOUND AND COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN EVALUATION OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC PANCREATITIS, ASSOCIATED COMPLICATIONS AND PREDICTING SEVERITY AND PROGNOSIS
Authors: HARIHARAN MAHESH , CHAIL VIVEK , MUDDA AMEET , MODI PRIYA , RANGARI MAYANK
Published: June 2024

Objectives: (1) The objective of the study was to determine the value of USG and computed tomography (CT) in early diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP). (2) The study aimed to compare which of the above two radiological investigations (USG/CT) provides the most important information of the disease process and to determine value of CT in evaluating complications, morbidity/severity, and predicting prognosis of AP using modified CT severity index (MCTSI).
Methods: This study included 50 patients diagnosed with pancreatitis, consisting of 38 cases of AP and 12 cases of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Both USG and contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) were used to visualize the pancreas, assess its size, detect peripancreatic inflammation and fluid collections, and identify the extent of necrosis and complications. The sensitivity and specificity of USG and CECT were compared. The severity of AP was classified using the MCTSI within 3 days of symptom onset. Clinical outcomes, including hospital stay duration, organ failure, systemic infection, and the need for surgical intervention, were recorded and correlated with MCTSI scores. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 22.0 was used for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of patients was 37.92±12.14 years. USG had a sensitivity of 58% for detecting AP, significantly lower than the 95% sensitivity of CECT, primarily due to bowel gas interference. Both USG and CECT had high positive predictive values. The MCTSI effectively classified the severity of AP, with 41.5% of cases categorized as mild, 39% as moderate, and 19.5% as severe. Extrapancreatic complications were significantly correlated with adverse clinical outcomes and end-organ failure when included in the MCTSI scoring. USG was adequate for diagnosing CP through visualization of dilated ducts, calcifications, and atrophic pancreas, but CECT demonstrated higher specificity and accuracy, especially for rare forms like groove and mass-forming pancreatitis. The study showed a strong correlation between MCTSI scores and patient outcomes. The mortality rate was 2%, observed only in patients with severe AP.
Conclusion: The MCTSI is a valuable tool for accurately classifying the severity of AP and predicting clinical outcomes. CECT is superior to USG in diagnosing and managing pancreatitis, providing better visualization and assessment of complications. While USG is useful for diagnosing CP, CECT offers greater specificity and accuracy. The study supports the use of MCTSI in routine clinical practice to guide the management and predict outcomes in patients with AP.

Published: June 2024

Objective: The objective of the study is (1) to analyze the prevalence and severity of depression in cases of pemphigus and (2) to study the association of demographic factors with the presence of depression in cases with pemphigus.
Methods: A cross-sectional single-interview study was carried out on 100 consecutively selected patients with pemphigus attending the dermatology out-patient department in a tertiary care hospital. The assessment was done with semi-structured pro forma, Beck depression inventory (BDI), and quality of life (QoL) measure – Skindex-16. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 24.0 was used for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: Out of 100 cases, there were 60 (60%) males and 40 (40%) were females with M: F ratio of 1:0.66. The mean age of male and female patients was found to be comparable with no statistically significant difference (p=0.6061). The majority were married, employed, and from rural backgrounds. 22% satisfied the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders 5th edition criteria for major depressive disorder. Assessment using BDI in these patients for severity of depression showed mild depression in 12%, moderate depression in 7%, and severe depression in 3%. Patients having a longer duration of illness and a history of frequent hospitalization were found to have significantly high scores on the subscale for depressive symptoms. QoL assessment using the Skindex-16 scale among these patients showed that they experienced more severe emotional and symptomatic effects due to skin disease compared to functional effects, especially during relapse. Those who had poor QoL showed significantly high scores on the subscale for depressive symptoms.
Conclusion: More than 20% of patients of pemphigus had diagnosable depression with significant effects on QoL. Therefore, regular screening for depression is important in pemphigus patients as it will help in planning early intervention.

A tömeges nyílt online kurzusok (Massive Open Online Courses, MOOC) olyan távoktatási képzések, amelyek a résztvevők nagy számával és heterogenitásával, valamint a magas lemorzsolódási aránnyal tűnnek ki. Mindezek megnehezítik a résztvevők előrehaladásának nyomon követését. Jelen kutatás során egy felnőttképzési környezetben megvalósított, tömeges nyílt online kurzus résztvevőinek (N = 7760) tanulói profiljait vizsgáltuk. A tanulói profilok meghatározását a résztvevők tanulási aktivitásának alapján végeztük el, amelyhez látens profil (Latent Profile Analysis, LPA) elemzést használtunk. A résztvevők aktivitása, kurzus iránti elkötelezettsége a kurzus első felében jelentős mértékben, a második felében csak kis mértékben csökkent. A kurzus záróvizsgáján való sikerességet legnagyobb mértékben a tananyagban való előrehaladás határozta meg. A résztvevők aktivitása alapján kilenc tanulói profilt azonosítottunk, amelyek két nagyobb kategóriába sorolhatók. A tanulói profilok egy része esetén a záróvizsgán nyújtott teljesítmény arányos volt a résztvevők aktivitásával, más részüknél nem állt fenn ez az összefüggés. A tanulói profilok azonosítása megalapozhatja a személyre szabott oktatás lehetőségét.
Atomenergiával a klímaválság ellen? A fenntarthatósági érv az Európai Unió taxonómia vitájában
Authors: Egres Dorottya , Sarlós Gábor
Published: June 2024

A klímaváltozás elleni egyre fokozódó küzdelemben az atomenergia mint fenntartható energiatermelési mód ismét a figyelem középpontjába került. Az Európai Unió taxonómia rendelete jelentős kezdeményezés, egyrészt mert európai szinten meghatározza, mely gazdasági tevékenységek tekinthetők fenntarthatónak, másrészt mert két nyilvános visszajelzési időszakban is lehetőséget adott állampolgároknak, vállalatoknak, környezetvédelmi szerveknek, kutatóintézeteknek arra, hogy véleményezzék a rendelet egyes részeit. Kutatásunk célja annak feltérképezése, hogy a taxonómiáról folytatott nyilvános konzultációban részt vevők hogyan érvelnek az atomenergia fenntarthatóságáról. Kutatásunk megerősíti, hogy a nukleáris technológia alkalmazásának támogatói és ellenzői ellentétes nézeteket vallanak annak klímavédelemben betöltött szerepéről. A taxonómiába foglalás melletti hozzászólásokban az atomerőművek alacsony szén-dioxid-kibocsátásáról érvelnek, valamint a fenntarthatóság gazdasági dimenzióját helyezik előtérbe. Ezzel szemben a taxonómiából való kizárás mellett érvelők a radioaktív hulladékok elhelyezésének megoldatlanságát és a fenntarthatóság környezeti dimenzióját hangsúlyozzák. A fenntarthatóság társadalmi dimenziója egyik álláspontot alátámasztó érvekben sem jelentős.
MI-csoda szépség!

A modern médiakutatás figyelme a technológiai fejlődésnek köszönhetően az utóbbi évtizedben a képek igazságértékére irányult: a manipulált fényképek témakörén belül sajátos csoportot képviselnek a portréfotók, mivel az emberi arc egy olyan speciális vizuális inger, amelynek a szépség megítélésében is rendkívül nagy szerepe van. A jelen kutatás olyan portréfotókat vizsgált online kérdőív segítségével, amelyeket egy mesterségesintelligencia-alapú képszerkesztő program automatikusan retusált, megszépített. A kutatás eredményei szerint a mesterségesintelligencia-alapú (MI-alapú) képretusálás nézői megítélését nem befolyásolja a fotómodell neme vagy életkora, ahogyan a befogadók neme és életkora sem. A befogadók által megítélt szépség azonban hatással van a fotómodell és a fénykép iránti nézői attitűdre is. A tanulmány új lehetséges kutatási irányokra mutat rá a mesterséges intelligencia által generált szépségideál, valamint az automatizált, MI-alapú retusálás területén, amely nagy hatást gyakorolhat a befogadók saját testideáljára.

Nanomedicines have emerged as a potent anti-tumor strategy with
tremendous progress. However, complex structure of integrating different
or even opposing nanoproperties into one nanomedicine to improve overall
delivery efficiency after intravenous injection hampers clinical
translation. Cell membrane-coated biomimetic nanomedicines (CMC-BNs)
have been considered as rationally designed next-generation
nanomedicines with high therapeutic efficacy, among which blood
cell-derived cellular nanosponges (CTI-005) and immunotherapeutic
nanomedicines (CE120) have already completed investigational new drug
(IND) applications for clinical trials. Whereas, we are conscious of
many challenges that need to be addressed before CMC-BNs can move from
laboratory studies to clinical applications in solid tumor theranostics,
especially the limited intrinsic targeting ability that leads to
insufficient tumor penetration and cellular internalization. To overcome
the Achilles’ heel, we comprehensively summarize the current
state-of-the-art in active targeting strategies, rational design and
potential applications, aiming to figure out the potential future
directions and provide insights for CMC-BNs clinical translation.
La escala de los dominios de creatividad de Kaufman: validación en un contexto universitario español

Published: June 2024

Por creatividad se entiende el conjunto de elementos definitorios de la persona creativa. La escala de dominios de creatividad de Kaufman ha adquirido relevancia científica internacional por su capacidad para medirla. Este trabajo garantiza la aplicabilidad de este instrumento en un contexto universitario español, previa traducción profesional a la lengua española de sus 50 elementos y con la puesta en marcha de un estudio empírico que establece sus garantías de fiabilidad y validez en este escenario. Tras la exploración analítica de los factores constitutivos de la herramienta, los cinco dominios originales (cotidiano, rendimiento, académico, mecánico/ científico y artístico) se han reestructurado en ocho (cotidiano, rendimiento, mecánico/científico, académico, expresión artística, comprensión artística, emocional y matemático). En consonancia con otros escenarios internacionales, el alumnado participante ha otorgado robustez a las habilidades sociales básicas. Asimismo, se ha observado que las competencias artísticas, las estrategias de diseño científico y las capacidades intelectuales siguen siendo incuestionables dentro del constructo creatividad, con independencia del grupo poblacional con el que se trabaje. Sin embargo, el matiz diferencial reside en el dominio artístico, que ha sufrido una división que otorga relevancia tanto a la expresión artística como a su comprensión. También en la extracción de un componente emocional más allá del cotidiano y en un dominio exclusivamente matemático desagregado del mecánico/científico.

El aprendizaje autorregulado ha sido muy elogiado como competencia clave para iniciar y mantener el aprendizaje permanente. Sin embargo, a pesar de su reconocido valor, la literatura ha evidenciado que aún no está arraigado lo suficiente en las escuelas y que no se desarrolla de forma automática en el estudiantado. El objetivo de este estudio fue validar un instrumento para medir la autorregulación del aprendizaje en estudiantes de educación primaria y analizar diferencias en los procesos de autorregulación del aprendizaje en el estudiantado según el sexo y el grado. El método se desarrolló desde un paradigma positivista y un enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 514 estudiantes de tercero a octavo grado de educación primaria en Chile. Los resultados mostraron que el instrumento tiene una estructura aceptable [χ2/gl = 3.55, p autoevaluación del estudio y aprendizajey autoeficacia para la disposición al estudio, donde las mujeres presentaron mayor nivel que los hombres. También en las variables estrategias de disposición al estudio y autoeficacia para la disposición al estudio, en los niveles de séptimo y cuarto grado, a favor de estos últimos. La discusión presenta las posibles implicaciones prácticas, la investigación orientada a la intervención oportuna y el impacto en la calidad de la educación escolar. Se concluye que las mujeres son más autorreguladas que los hombres, que los niveles de autorregulación son subóptimos y que, si esta no se entrena de manera intencional, no aumenta durante los cursos de la educación primaria.
Digital technologies as a tool for identification the authorship of sacred sculpture
Authors: Bitko Sanita
Published: June 2024

Latvian sculptures created before the mid-19th century are located mainly in churches, not in museum collections. The most serious obstacle to research of Latvian art in the given period is lack of pertinent documentary material. As a result, Latvian art historians have mostly studied the sculptures for which written sources are available. This article will offer solutions for further research in cases when written sources are limited or altogether unavailable. How much and what can be discovered using digitisation solutions? The study of the sculptures of the Biķernieki Church in Riga provides a paradigmatic case for further research with the help of digitisation. In 1967, when the congregation of the Biķernieki Church was forced to abandon the church, the sculptures were transferred to museums. Today they can be seen in the exhibition of the Rundāle Palace Museum. The scant extant documentary evidence does not allow us to establish the authorship of the sculptures or the time of their creation with certainty. The study discussed in the article shows the importance of digitisation in art history research. The current research is based on 3D models of the sculptures of the Biķernieki Church obtained using 3D scanning technology. Supplementing them with high-resolution photographs and other digital solutions can confirm or, on the contrary, refute assumptions about their authorship and creation made by historians so far. The article outlines the methods used to identify stylistic influences on the sculptures of the Biķernieki Church, suggesting that they may have been modelled after similar sculptures in Gdańsk (Danzig) and Dresden and even after certain antique sculptures. The graphic methods used in the research have made it possible to precisely identify the style of execution of a single sculptor in several churches in Riga.
"Deus ex machina" or moving sculptures in the interior of Lutheran churches of Latvia
Authors: Spārītis Ojārs
Published: June 2024

The term “Deus ex machina” was used in ancient Greek and Roman theatre performances as stage machinery provided the appearance of a god or hero to unravel and resolve a hopeless situation. The present article characterizes the appearance, function, and use of moving sculptures - automatons - in Latvian Baroque church interiors. Renaissance science sparked developments in mathematics, astronomy, and mechanics that stimulated not only the invention of curiosities, but also the construction of practical mechanisms and tools. Knowledge transfer from mechanics to applied and fine arts brought moments of mystery and wonder into the fields of performing arts and the spheres of representation and liturgy. The use of automatons helped to invent new mechanisms, making the mechanical movement of “animated sculptures” an attractive public entertainment. Both written evidence and artefacts preserved in museums and churches bear witness to the social demand for the integration of theatrical elements into the formerly conservative environment, for example, the church. Drawing inspiration from the culturally linked region of former Prussia, the current paper concentrates on moving figures in the interior space of Lutheran churches in Latvia to expose the variety of fascinating objects, including organ facades and baptismal fonts.

Attracting foreign investment is essential for the competitiveness and prosperity of nations. When deciding where to invest, an investor may be interested in considering specific criteria for investing or doing business and preferences for those criteria. In the same way, when evaluating the situation of a country to attract investment, consider different aspects to determine its ease of doing business. The MultiCriteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methodology is suitable for evaluating nations according to their ease of doing business due to the multifactorial elements of each nation. This work applied the ELECTRE-III method; it evaluated 190 nations based on the decision-maker?s preferences, giving different importance to the ten criteria considered in the World Bank?s Doing Business 2020 study. The results with this methodology show better-positioned nations in the ranking compared to the report presented by the World Bank Group.
