Authors: Milos Nymberg Veronica , Ellegård Lina Maria , Kjellsson Gustav , Wolff Moa , Borgström Bolmsjö Beata , Wallman Thorne , Calling Susanna 
Published: November 2021

Background
Remote assessment of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) has been a controversial topic during the fast development of private telemedicine providers in Swedish primary health care. The possibility to unburden the traditional care has been put against a questionable quality of care as well as risks of increased utilization and costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a changed management of patient care to decrease viral spread, with an expected shift in contact types from in-person to remote ones.

Objective
The main aim of this study was to compare health care consumption and type of contacts (in-person or remote) for RTIs before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second aim was to study whether the number of follow-up contacts after an index contact for RTIs changed during the study period, and whether the number of follow-up contacts differed if the index contact was in-person or remote. A third aim was to study whether the pattern of follow-up contacts differed depending on whether the index contact was with a traditional or a private telemedicine provider.

Methods
The study design was an observational retrospective analysis with a description of all index contacts and follow-up contacts with physicians in primary care and emergency rooms in a Swedish region (Skåne) for RTIs including patients of all ages and comparison for the same periods in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

Results
Compared with 2018 and 2019, there were fewer index contacts for RTIs per 1000 inhabitants in 2020. By contrast, the number of follow-up contacts, both per 1000 inhabitants and per index contact, was higher in 2020. The composition of both index and follow-up contacts changed as the share of remote contacts, in particular for traditional care providers, increased.

Conclusions
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, fewer index contacts for RTIs but more follow-up contacts were conducted, compared with 2018-2019. The share of both index and follow-up contacts that were conducted remotely increased. Further studies are needed to study the reasons behind the increase in remote contacts, and if it will last after the pandemic, and more clinical guidelines for remote assessments of RTI are warranted.
Fuelling the Subsidized Public: Mapping the Flow of Extractivist Content on Facebook
Authors: Neubauer Robert , Graham Nicolas 
Published: November 2021

Background: This article explores the Facebook communications of Canadian oil and gas advocacy organizations, including industry-funded and nominally independent groups. Analysis: These groups are analyzed as producers of “subsidized publics,” with elites providing supporters with resources that enable them to take political action on industry’s behalf. A social network analysis maps how they link supporters with information from diverse sources, constructing networked publics whose members can recirculate pro-industry talking points. Conclusions and implications: These communications enact powerful forms of network-making power, programming an interconnected echo chamber that interfaces supporters with material from neoliberal extractivist discourse coalitions—networks of industry advocates that industry has itself helped cultivate over decades.
Hidden diversity of Ctenophora revealed by new mitochondrial COI primers and sequences

[Definitive version of this article may be

The mitochondrial gene cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit 1 (COI) is useful in
many taxa for phylogenetics, population genetics, metabarcoding, and
rapid species identifications. However, the phylum Ctenophora (comb
jellies) has historically been difficult to study due to divergent
mitochondrial sequences and the corresponding inability to amplify COI
with degenerate and standard COI ‘barcoding’ primers. As a result, there
are very few COI sequences available for ctenophores, despite over 200
described species in the phylum. Here, we designed new primers and
amplified the COI fragment from members of all major groups of
ctenophores, including many undescribed species. Phylogenetic analyses
of the resulting COI sequences revealed high diversity within many
groups that was not evident from more conserved 18S rDNA sequences, in
particular among the Lobata. The COI phylogenetic results also revealed
unexpected community structure within the genus Bolinopsis,
suggested new species within the genus Bathocyroe, and supported
the ecological and morphological differences of some species such as
Lampocteis cruentiventer and similar lobates (Lampocteis
sp. ‘V’ stratified by depth, and ‘A’ differentiated by color). The newly
described primers reported herein provide important tools to enable
researchers to illuminate the diversity of ctenophores worldwide via
quick molecular identifications, improve the ability to analyze
environmental DNA by improving reference libraries and amplifications,
and enable a new breadth of population genetic studies.
Dark Market Share around Earnings Announcements and Speed of Resolution of Investor Disagreement
Authors: Balakrishnan Karthik , Gkougkousi Xanthi , Landsman Wayne R. , Taori Peeyush 
Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT
This study examines how the market share of dark venues changes at earnings announcements. Our analysis shows a statistically significant increase in dark market share in the weeks prior to, during, and following the earnings announcement. We also predict and find evidence that increases in dark market share around earnings announcements are higher for firms with high-quality accounting information. In addition, we find a positive relation between the change in dark market share and the speed of resolution of investor disagreement—a key dimension of informational efficiency, which suggests that dark trading is associated with an improvement in market quality. How market fragmentation changes around news events, the role accounting information plays in market fragmentation, and how changes in market fragmentation relate to market quality can help provide insights to securities regulators.

Authors: Muti Muti Muti'ah 
Published: November 2021

Kasus korupsi di Indonesia setiap tahunnya meningkat, betapa banyak kerugian negara akibat dari korupsi. Korupsi merupakan ancaman besar sebuah negara karena dapat merugikan negara dan menyengsarakan rakyat. Dalam rangka menanggulangi korupsi yang semakin meluas perlu adanya pendidikan karakter sejak dini, salah satunya memasukannya dalam kurikulum untuk anak usia dini, karena masa perkembangan anak usia dini sebagai masa keemasan anak merupakan pondasi akhlak dan karakter ketika kelak tumbuh besar menjadi orang dewasa, metode pengajaran anti korupsi dengan bercerita atau mendongeng dirasa sangat tepat karena anak tidak merasa digurui tetapi dengan bercerita bisa menyisipkan nilai-nilai moral,akhlak tanpa kesan memaksa dan menekan. Dengan metode bercerita akan mudah menanamkan nilai-nilai karakter seperti sikap jujur, tidak serakah dan tamak pada anak, sehingga anak akan bisa menerapkan dalam pembiasaan hidup sehari-hari sejak usia mereka masih kecil. Orang tua, guru dan lingkungan sekitarnya merupakan faktok pendukung yang sangat penting dalam pembentukan karakter anti korupsi ini, sehingga diperlukan kerjasama yang baik antar mereka.

Abstrakt
W ostatnich latach istotnym obszarem zastosowania fibryny stała się inżynieria tkankowa, w której wykorzystuje się naturalne właściwości biostatyczne i bioaktywne fibryny, a także możliwość pułapkowania i wiązania w jej strukturze czynników wzrostu. Fibryna jest najczęściej stosowana w postaci żeli i dysków. Jednak każda postać wskutek pochłaniania wody docelowo przyjmuje postać żelu. Białko to w warunkach in vivo spełnia rolę rusztowania dla komórek, a także może być aplikowane w miejsca trudno dostępne – może wypełniać ubytki tkanek i podtrzymywać tkanki okalające, zapobiegając ich zapadaniu się. Ponadto fibryna hamuje krwawienie i inicjuje proces odnowy, jak również pełni rolę stymulatora wzrostu komórek. Przez modyfikacje struktury fibryny cząsteczkami adhezyjnymi, można przyspieszyć odbudowę prawidłowej struktury tkanek. Jej właściwości strukturalne mogą być także wykorzystywane jako rezerwuar czynników wzrostu i system ich przedłużonego uwalniania. Fibryna jest materiałem biodegradowalnym, umożliwiając skorelowanie ubytku matrycy fibrynowej z odbudową tkanek własnych pacjenta. Wprowadzenie metod druku 3D i elektroprzędzenia umożliwia formulację dopasowanych do uszkodzeń kształtek oraz włóknin bez utraty bioaktywnych funkcji fibryny. Metody te umożliwiają także poprawę właściwości mechanicznych przez otrzymywanie m.in. włóknin fibryny z innymi polimerami, co jest szczególnie uzasadnione w przypadku materiałów stosowanych w odbudowie takich struktur jak ścięgna czy kości. Biotechnologiczna synteza fibrynogenu może w przyszłości uniezależnić pozyskiwanie go z krwi i zwiększyć popularność wyrobów medycznych otrzymywanych z fibryny.

Abstract
Introduction. Stomatitis (oral mucositis) is a very serious adverse effect of anticancer therapy, and it may exacerbate treatment outcomes as well as prognoses. Stomatitis is associated with pain during chewing and swallowing, causing discomfort and interfering with eating. It can also lead to weight loss and a delay in child growth and development. None of the numerous therapies used for stomatitis management can be considered universal or sufficiently effective. Allogeneic platelet gel, a formulation that adheres closely to mucosal lesions and is rich in growth factors, may be an effective treatment for accelerating the erosion-healing process. Methods. A prospective, open-label study on the efficacy of platelet gel used for the treatment of stomatitis in children during chemotherapy. Platelet gel was applied to oral mucosal lesions four times a day. Results. 28 patients with Grade II and Grade III stomatitis were enrolled in the study. The first day after applying platelet gel, 93% of patients reported relief from pain. Within 4 to 5 days, one degree of mucosal lesion regression was reported in 89% of patients, indicating a 3 to 5 day reduction in therapy compared to our previous experience. In only two patients did we observe mild adverse events in the form of a burning sensation. Conclusion. Platelet gel contributed to both pain reduction and acceleration of the oral mucosa healing process. It is a safe and effective therapy for children with stomatitis induced by chemotherapy.
Generalised Regression Neural Network (GRNN) Architecture-Based Motion Planning and Control of an E-Puck Robot in V-REP Software Platform
Authors: Panwar Vikas Singh , Pandey Anish , Hasan Muhammad Ehtesham 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article focuses on the motion planning and control of an automated differential-driven two-wheeled E-puck robot using Generalized Regression Neural Network (GRNN) architecture in the Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-REP) software platform among scattered obstacles. The main advantage of this GRNN over the feedforward neural network is that it provides accurate results in a short period with minimal error. First, the designed GRNN architecture receives real-time obstacle information from the Infra-Red (IR) sensors of an E-puck robot. According to IR sensor data interpretation, this architecture sends the left and right wheel velocities command to the E-puck robot in the V-REP software platform. In the present study, the GRNN architecture includes the MIMO system, i.e., multiple inputs (IR sensors data) and multiple outputs (left and right wheel velocities). The three-dimensional (3D) motion and orientation results of the GRNN architecture-controlled E-puck robot are carried out in the V-REP software platform among scattered and wall-type obstacles. Further on, compared with the feedforward neural network, the proposed GRNN architecture obtains better navigation path length with minimum error results.
Perturbations of the Depth of Liquid Penetration Into the Capillary During Bubble Departures
Authors: Dzienis Paweł 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In the present paper, the influence of bubble size on liquid penetration into the capillary was experimentally and numerically studied. In the experiment, bubbles were generated from a glass capillary (with an inner diameter equal to 1 mm) in a glass tank containing distilled water, tap water or an aqueous solution of calcium carbonate. These liquids differ in the value of their surface tension, which influences the bubble size. During experimental investigations, air pressure fluctuations in the gas supply system were measured. Simultaneously, the videos showing the liquids’ penetration into the capillary were recorded. Based on the videos, the time series of liquid movements inside the capillary were recovered. The numerical models were used to study the influence of bubble size on the velocity of liquid flow above the capillary and the depth of liquid penetration into the capillary. It was shown that the air volume flow rate and the surface tension have the greatest impact on the changes of pressure during a single cycle of bubble departure (Δp). The changes in pressure during a single cycle of bubble departure determine the depth of liquid penetration into the capillary. Moreover, the values of Δp and, consequently, the depth of liquid penetration can be modified by perturbations in the liquid velocity above the capillary outlet.
Covidian Metamorphoses: Art and the Poetics of Transformation in Ali Smith’s Seasonal Quartet
Authors: Orosz-Réti Zsófia 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Ali Smith’s Autumn (2016), coined “the first Brexit novel”, relied on a very “time-sensitive” publication schedule: weeks after the manuscript had been submitted, the book was already published, documenting almost in real-time the aftermath of the Brexit referendum. The remaining three volumes of the Seasonal Quartet (Winter, 2017; Spring, 2019; Summer, 2020) also followed a similarly tight schedule; hence the last piece of the collection, published in the summer of 2020, could already reflect on yet another crisis: that of the COVID-19 pandemic and the first lockdown in Britain. The Quartet offers art as a vital coping mechanism for such critical times, but the present paper argues that the function of art in the Quartet is even more pervasive than that. The sequence’s entire poetics of transformation is founded on art as a mediatized means of experiencing the world, which is then turned into a rhetoric of transformation. The paper traces the three main motifs of the Quartet: that of the tree, the stone, and the cloud/sky to look at how their art-based transformations create a sense of connectedness in the four novels.
Assessing ischemic injury in human intestine ex vivo with electrical impedance spectroscopy

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Electrical impedance spectroscopy is a well-established tool for monitoring changes in the electrical properties of tissue. Most tissue and organ types have been investigated in various studies. As for the small intestine, there are several published studies conducted on pig and rat models. This study investigates the changes in passive electrical properties of the complete wall of the human intestine non-invasively during ischemia. We aim to use the passive electrical properties to assess intestinal viability. The bioimpedance measurements were performed using a two-electrode set-up with a Solartron 1260 Impedance/gain-phase analyser. The small intestinal samples were resected from patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Impedance measurements were conducted following resection by placing the electrodes on the surface of the intestine. A voltage was applied across the intestinal sample and the measured electrical impedance was obtained in the ZPlot software. Impedance data were further fitted into a Cole model to obtain the Cole parameters. The Py
value was calculated from the extracted Cole parameters and used to assess the cell membrane integrity, thus evaluate the intestinal viability. Eight small intestinal segments from different patients were used in this study and impedance measurements were performed once an hour for a ten-hour period. One hour after resection, the impedance decreased, then increased the next two hours, before decreasing until the end of the experiment. For all the intestinal segments, the Py
values first increased and reached a plateau which lasted for 1 - 2 hours, before it decreased irreversibly. The time interval where Py
value reached the maximum is consistent with reported viable/non-viable limits from histological analysis.
Human activities can hinder the breeding of a top avian predator: preliminary results
Authors: Dobrev Dobromir , Dobrev Vladimir , Demerdzhiev Dimitar 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The Eastern Imperial Eagle (EIE) is a large-sized, globally threatened species with a wide distribution. The species is extremely vulnerable and sensitive to human disturbance and activities in the vicinities of its nests. We analyzed the effect of human disturbance in two territories of Eastern Imperial Eagles from Bulgaria in 2008–2009. We recorded 375 cases of different types of human activity in the vicinities of the two surveyed nests – 60 cases in nest A and 315 in nest B. The most common activity around the studied nests was the passing of light motor vehicles (n=100 cases). Our results highlight that the probability of EIE’s reaction is dependent on the type of activity, distance from the nest and the duration of the activity. However, eagles’ reaction is independent from the number of intruders. We found that with the decrease of the distance to the nest, the reaction progresses and is more acute. We found statistical differences between the distance belts and the majority of alert and flight reactions that were recorded at distances up to 300 m from the nests. We reported that humans walking around nests (mainly hunters, fishermen, tourists, people illegally extracting sand in the close vicinities of the nests) result in a large number of reactions of flight off by the eagles thus, leaving the nest unattended. More research on a large scale on this topic is needed including more accurate measures to address human disturbance in EIE territories. The findings will be applied to ensure higher breeding rates and species conservation.
The orientation of nestboxes influences their occupation rates and the breeding success of passerine birds
Authors: Briggs Kevin B. , Mainwaring Mark C. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Nestboxes are widely provided as nesting sites for hole-nesting birds, yet the relative contribution of nestbox characteristics and habitat quality in determining the occupancy rates and breeding success of birds remains unclear. We provided nestboxes in deciduous woodlands in England and examined if those nestboxes were erected in random orientations and whether the orientation of nestboxes and habitat quality, in the form of tree density, influenced their occupation by, and breeding success of, Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), Great Tits (Parus major) and Pied Flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca). We found that first, the nestboxes were erected non-randomly orientated towards the north and east, and away from the south and west. Second, the occupation rates of none of the species was related to nestbox orientation or tree density. Third, the breeding success of neither Blue Tits nor Great Tits varied with tree density but did vary with nestbox orientation. Blue Tit hatching success and fledging success was higher in nestboxes facing south than in other directions whilst in Great Tits, clutch sizes, hatching success and fledging success was higher in nestboxes facing south than nestboxes facing other directions. Our results suggest that nestbox characteristics, such as orientation, have more influence on the reproductive success of passerines than habitat quality. This further suggests that conservationists should orientate nestboxes southwards in order to maximise their benefit to birds in temperate climates during the breeding season.
Sports Diplomacy and Gender: Equal Opportunities for Women in Czech Basketball
Authors: Kočí Kateřina , Dubský Zbyněk , Burgrová Ilona 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The article focuses on the role of equal opportunities and gender in the sports environment, examining their impacts on the creation and functioning of sports diplomacy. Subsequently, in the form of a case study it first concentrates on the Czech sports environment and women’s representation in international and national sports federations. In the final part, it examines the basketball environment and analyses its individual structures. Women are not sufficiently represented as coaches, referees or officials. Several main challenges are mentioned: the perception of sport as a predominantly male phenomenon, the overall society setting fixed on traditional perceptions of the role of women and men in the Czech Republic, a small number of suitable female sports models, the time-consuming character of the activities, gender stereotypes at work, the absence of suitable conditions for reconciling family and work life and the low self-confidence of female candidates. The article concludes that the Czech sports environment (including basketball) is markedly masculine, and women face a number of barriers, which in practice are reflected in the Czech Republic’s representation in international sport organisations and the way in which sports diplomacy is used as a foreign policy tool.
Sport for Development in International Relations
Authors: Svoboda Arnošt , Šafaříková Simona 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article introduces the concept of sport for development and peace both as a theoretical notion and a part of the political-economical practice. Together with a brief definition and a historical overview, the main goal is to present the sport and development in the context of international relations, a network of stakeholders, practical implementation within major projects and its progressive inclusion into the development documents and strategies. Specifically, the article highlights the adoption of the concept by two major institutions, the United Nations and the International Olympic Committee as formal umbrella organisations. Furthermore, the role of the sport for development within the UN’s agenda of Sustainable Development Goals is elaborated. Since the topic is a frequent object of academic research and critical analysis, the article concludes with an outline of the commonly mentioned contested topics and critical debates which permeate both academic production and activities of international state and non-governmental organisations.
