Германская колониальная экспансия в Китай в конце XIX в.
Authors: Тихонов А.С. 
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматривается германская политика, которая проводилась в восточноазиатском регионе в конце XIX в. и была направлена на приобретение незамерзающего порта в Китае с целью дальнейшей экономической экспансии в регионе. Проанализированы экономические и военно-политические причины расширения влияния Второго рейха на Восточную Азию в конце XIX – начале XX в. Выявлены основания выбора порта Цзяочжоу в качестве основной цели германской колониальной политики в Восточной Азии и роль Альфреда фон Тирпица в выборе данного порта. Кроме того, обозначена степень влияния германского военно-морского флота в указанном регионе и дана оценка его усилиям по превращению Цзяочжоу в образцовую колонию. Отмечается постепенная трансформация направленности германского колониализма в Китае под воздействием интересов двух крупнейших держав в регионе – Великобритании и России. Указывается на активное использование англо-русского антагонизма для укрепления позиций Германии в Восточной Азии и создания собственной зоны влияния в регионе. Автор приходит к выводу, что захват бухты Цзяочжоу в ноябре 1897 г. дал старт новому этапу европейской политики в отношении Китая, начавшему раздел его территорий между великими державами, имевшими свои интересы в Восточной Азии.
The article examines the policy pursued by Germany in the East Asian region in the late 19th century aimed at acquiring an ice-free port in China for further economic expansion in the region. The author analyzes economic and military-political reasons for German expansion into East Asia in the late 19th – early 20th centuries and reveals the reasons for choosing the port of Jiaozhou as the main target for German colonial expansion in East Asia and the role of Alfred von Tirpitz, the future creator of the German “high seas fleet,” in choosing that port. In addition to that, the author identifies the degree of the German Navy’s influence in the region and assesses its efforts to turn Jiaozhou into a model colony. It is noted that there was a gradual transformation of the German colonial policy in China under the influence of the interests of the two largest powers in the region – Great Britain and Russia. It is shown that Anglo–Russian antagonism was used to strengthen German position in East Asia and to create its own zone of influence in the region. The author concludes that the capture of Jiaozhou Bay in November 1897 launched a new stage of European policy in relation to China, which was the starting point in the territorial division of China between the great powers that had their own interests in East Asia.
Феномен доходного дома Петербурга в 1870-е гг. – начале XX века Рецензия на: Демидович Д.М. Доходные дома Петербурга: организация, взаимодействие с государственными и коммерческими структурами, повседневность (1870-е гг. – начало XX века): монография. Москва: У Никитских ворот, 2023. 256 с.

Рецензируемая монография представляет собой исследование доходных домов Санкт-Петербурга, которые впервые в историографии рассматриваются не только как место жительства горожан, но и как пространство, где происходит становление поведенческих практик, формирование новой системы коммуникации с домовладельцами, управляющими, прислугой, а также с официальными лицами государственных и коммерческих структур столицы. Представленные в работе статистические сведения о квартирном налоге, судебных решениях по нарушению законодательных норм, связанных с домовладениями, штрафах за правонарушения в данной сфере, росте количества телефонов способствуют созданию полномасштабной картины функционирования и развития доходных домов. Автор книги в числе первых проанализировал систему сдачи в аренду самих доходных домов и сформировавшиеся вокруг этого отношения горожан, возникавшие конфликты и пути их разрешения.
The monograph under reviewed is a study of tenement buildings in St Petersburg. For the first time in historiography, they are considered not only as a place of residence of citizens but also as a space where behavioral practices are formed as well as a new system of communication with homeowners, managers, servants and also the officials of the metropolitan state and commercial structures. The statistical information presented in the work regarding rental taxes, court decisions on violations of legislative norms related to house ownership, fines for offenses in that area, and the growth in the number of telephones contribute to the creation of a full-scale picture of functioning and development of tenement buildings. The author of the monograph was among the first to analyze the system of renting out the whole tenement buildings and the relationships between citizens that were formed around that as well as the conflicts that arose and ways to resolve them.

Authors: Truzzi Oswaldo 
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho busca analisar as representações sociais dos italianos no contexto de um território, a chamada região da Araraquarense, no extremo noroeste paulista. São tomados como fontes os conteúdos de dois álbuns distintos – aqui entendidos como lugares de memória - produzidos nos anos de 1920. Procuraremos responder: a) que representações estavam na época predominantemente associadas aos italianos na região, b) que elementos de ancoragem destas representações foram selecionados (e quais foram elididos) pelos organizadores das publicações, no sentido de produzir uma memória étnica coletiva sobre o grupo c) que diferenças existem entre os diferentes álbuns e como tais diferenças podem ser explicadas?

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (KR) has an excellent cardioprotective effect, but its mechanism of action is not clear. Network pharmacology was used to predict the signaling pathways, whereas molecular docking was used for preliminary validation of KR binding to targets. AMI model rats with ligated left anterior descending coronary arteries were established. HE staining was used to detect pathological changes, and ELISA was used to detect the expression of TNF-α and IL-6. Network pharmacology results showed PI3K-AKT signaling pathway may be the main mechanism, and molecular docking predicted that KR could bind strongly to the PI3K and AKT. KR could significantly reduce cardiac pathological changes, decrease the level of TNF-α and IL-6, and enhance the mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and AKT. KR ameliorates HF after AMI by enhancing the expressions of PI3K and AKT, which will be helpful in elucidating the mechanism of KR through multiple techniques.
The impact of blood lipids and statins on renal function and mortality in patients with diabetic nephropathy: A meta-analysis
Authors: Tian Dongqin , Chen Qian , Zeng Lingli , Hao Yan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the impact of blood lipids and statins on renal function and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched until April 9, 2024, for relevant studies of blood lipids and statins on renal function and all-cause mortality in patients with DN. After the selection, total cholesterol levels (TC), total triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin excretion (UAE), serum creati-nine (SCR), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and all-cause mortality indexes were extracted for finally meta-analysis. In total, 25 papers containing 21,411 patients with DN were finally included in this study. Levels of TC and LDL-C, which are continuous variables, were higher in DN patients who developed ESRD [TC/weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.517, 95 % confidence interval (CI): (0.223, 0.812), p = 0.001; LDL-C/WMD = 0.449, 95%CI: (0.200, 0.698), p < 0.001]. In addition, this study also observed that statins may reduce UAE levels [WMD = –46.814, 95% CI: (–71.767, –21.861), p < 0.001]. Finally, the survey indicated that statins may be associated with an ESRD reduction [HR = 0.884, 95% CI: (0.784, 0.998), p = 0.045]. Blood lipids, particularly TC and LDL-C, may slow the progression of DN to ESRD. Besides, statins may protect the kidneys by lowering the excretion of UAE levels and reducing the risk of ESRD. Based on the above outcomes, the findings of this study provided robust evidence-based medical support for the future prevention, surveillance, and management of DN.
Culture, budgeting and planning in the Department of Finance
Authors: Casey Ciarán 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article considers the contribution of the Department of Finance from the late 1950s to the turn of the millennium. It revisits long-standing cultural and institutional issues that former officials and academics raised in the period, particularly focusing on the budgetary system and its weaknesses. It examines the limitations of the department’s foray into economic planning, arguing that its potential was never fully realised. The article argues that plans, rather than budgets, were a far more appropriate mechanism for setting economic policy, and that they could have helped mitigate the influence of party politics. It concludes that planning will become even more paramount in the twenty-first century, as Ireland grapples with major global headwinds.
Making European Union digital platform regulation a reality1
Authors: Dooley John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Over the last twenty years, the digital economy – driven primarily through large digital platforms that have been mostly unregulated to date – has brought enormous economic and societal benefits. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend by making digital platforms central to the global economy and society and by highlighting further opportunities, but, importantly too, risks and threats. Digital platforms, representing the increasingly important and maturing online platform economy, are now being described as critical infrastructure and even utilities. Digital platform policy, particularly the future regulation of the large far-reaching dominant platforms, is a major focus of the European Union (EU) as part of its response to the COVID-19 crisis. The literature on platform regulation highlights two major themes that emerge concerning digital platform regulation, and that are consequently the focus of future regulation: competition and online content. This article presents research findings in these areas through a critical analysis of and reflection on emerging digital platform regulatory practices which are being progressed under the groundbreaking EU Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act package. This includes assessing implications for national implementation, regulatory enforcement, and governance. A particular emphasis is placed on the Digital Services Act where there is less literature, knowledge, and experience on how to best regulate online content. In this context, the paper provides insights into how Ireland, where many of the large platforms are established and so is their de-facto regulator, is dealing with regulatory implementation issues driven by the EU.
Economic Transformations and National Security Risks Generated by Cryptocurrencies
Authors: Bătuşaru Cristina Maria , Sbârcea Ioana Raluca 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The proliferation of cryptocurrencies has brought significant changes in the global economic market while introducing new risks to national security. This paper explores the economic transformations driven by the rise of digital currencies, analyzing their impact on traditional financial systems, monetary policy, and international trade. While cryptocurrencies offer opportunities for innovation and economic growth, they also pose substantial challenges for regulators, particularly in addressing illicit activities such as money laundering, terrorism financing, and tax evasion. Furthermore, the decentralized nature of these digital assets presents unique vulnerabilities for national security, as they can be used to avoid financial controls and sanctions. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the economic benefits and security risks associated with cryptocurrencies, emphasizing the need for coordinated regulatory frameworks. By examining the intersection of technological innovation, economic impact, and security concerns, this research contributes to the ongoing debate on how to handle the main challenges brought by the growth of cryptocurrencies in a globalized, digital economy.

Viral Trends and Stock Markets: Spillover Between Meme Assets and Sectoral Returns
Authors: Barbić Tajana , Čondić-Jurkić Iva 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Meme assets are a unique and modern phenomenon in the stock market, characterized by social media-driven hype and significant price volatility. The aim of this paper is to explore the relationships between meme assets and sectoral dynamics. We employ the Granger causality test to examine predictive relationships between daily returns of GameStop and five meme exchange traded funds and eleven sector index funds. Our results show that selected meme assets have relatively limited impact on various sectoral indices and vice versa, suggesting that meme stocks and meme ETFs can offer diversification benefits for sectoral investments. These findings offer insights to investors in designing their approaches to investment strategies and portfolio management, as well as regulators in their attempt to ensure financial market stability.
CBDC and Trust in A Central Bank: Transitivity Of Preferences Vs. The Privacy Paradox

Published: December 2024

Abstract
The privacy and anonymity of transactions are considered some of the biggest challenges when designing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC). While many surveys show that people strongly prefer privacy in their transactions, behavioral theories suggest that human behaviour in digital spaces is more complex, a phenomenon known as the privacy paradox. The research aims to measure privacy preferences in specific situations and examine how these preferences influence choices between anonymous transactions versus the design of CBDC functionality. The study used the ANOVA method to determine if there were significant differences between groups based on privacy preferences. Survey data from respondents in emerging markets showed a mild form of the privacy paradox. The research measured privacy tendencies in three areas: general, digital, and financial environments, and found a statistically significant correlation between these measures. However, the respondents' privacy preferences did not consistently align with their choices between transaction anonymity and CBDC functionality, nor did they consistently relate to trust in central banks as privacy guarantors or the importance of central bank independence for ensuring privacy. The ANOVA test found no significant differences in privacy preferences between respondents who prioritized anonymity or functionality, or between those who trusted or did not trust central banks to guarantee privacy and their independence in doing so. This suggests that when faced with complex decisions, people may exhibit intricate patterns of preference, which is crucial for optimizing CBDC design.
Interprofessional education’s readiness among Brazilian medical students / Interprofessionelle Bildung: Bereitschaft unter brasilianischen Medizinstudierenden
Authors: Secreti Prevedello Alexandra , dos Santos Fernanda , Reisdorfer Emilene 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The study examines the readiness for shared learning based on interprofessional education (IPE) among Brazilian medical students participating in preceptorship programs. A total of 642 students from all six medical courses across a state in Brazil completed the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results, analyzed across three RIPLS factors—teamwork and collaboration, professional identity, and patient-centered care—reveal a positive inclination toward collaborative learning, though each factor was influenced by different variables. Teamwork and collaboration (factor 1) were significantly associated with gender, medical program semester, prior teamwork experience, and current clinical practice. Professional identity (factor 2) was shaped by gender, prior bachelor’s degree, type of university (public or private), and medical program semester. Patient-centered care (factor 3) showed significant relationships with gender, prior bachelor’s degree, type of university, medical program semester, and current clinical practice. These findings highlight the importance of acknowledging various demographic and educational variables when assessing student readiness for shared learning. Such insights can help medical programs refine their curricula and develop educational strategies to promote IPE, fostering collaborative healthcare practice in alignment with both national and international guidelines.
