Social Values in Europe. Protecting Freedom of Thought, Conscience, Religion, Creating What?: Justice, Sophia, Phronesis
Authors: Kuyan Olga Nickole Papkova 
Published: July 2021

The multidimentional human rights catastrophe 2020-2021 is input for
this writing. We see it as the culmination of arguments about regulating
the social values, the right to freedom of thought, conscience and
religion in Europe (art 9 ECHR) in its broader sense. We question: what
are thought, conscience, religion in Europe? The paper aims at revealing
how different states bound by ECHR (Italy, France, Russia) are
redefining their relationship to thought, conscience and religion, under
the challenge of changing minds, increasing religious activism in the
public sphere, associated with the spread of new religious movements and
Islam; how this process mobilizes a complex array of often unrelated
official actors, but also mindful men who want to be recognized by
public opinion eager to curb what is perceived as “foreign” or
“extremist” expressions of thought, conscience, religion; by
politicians navigating between political correctness and populism, by
national and external judiciary like ECtHR; how this process is
gradually producing a new and common paradigm of the relationship
between states, the public sphere and thought, conscience and religion.
We scrutinize (re)construction and formatting of thought, conscience and
religion in the West through courts, giving the rebirthing to the Lautsi
case. We intend to find which doctrine\idea has been
developed by the Court in Europe. What will be with judicial
decision-making in France and Europe? How to overcome the crisis? We are
seeking a new instrument. We go into Mindful Politics/Judiciary, Dharma
and Judiciary/Politics. We use the Complex Thinking concept and Quantum
Theory, Sophism, Theology, Eastern and Ancient thoughts as Puzzles. We
refer to Lady Justice-Prudentia-Sophia and Phronesis. We refer to the
decoloniality to re-learn the thoughts-heritage that have been pushed
aside, buried, discredited by the forces of modernity: UN
Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, Vl.Solovjev, Ivan Ilyin. Also we use
new data, such as O’Murchu Diarmuid, Doing Theology in an Evolutionary
Way (2021), Rovelli Carlo, Helgoland (2020), Molari Carlo, Il cammino
spirituale del cristiano (2020), Mancuso Vito, I quattro maestri (2020).
Our core topic is the importance of legal ideas and legal doctrine for
court decisions. Our core thought is the Russia’s experience in
balancing secular and religious values and peaceful coexistence of
peoples, it’s importantance for the international community. It’s part
of the big research, started in 1990, continued in different ways, at
UNIPV (with Prof.J.Ziller) in the framework of CICOPS, in particular.
Key terms: human rights and freedom, thought, conscience, religion,
pluralism, equality, secularism, neutrality, positivism, legal symbols,
Lady Justice, Sophia, Prudentia, Phronesis, quantum theory, Islam, rule
of law, legitimacy, historical-interpretive account of judicial

The aim of this work was to attempt to analyze the demographic structure, clinical and radiological forms of tuberculosis and COVID-19, as well as the course and outcome of the disease in patients with this coinfection in the light of a new and still poorly understood problem of the mutual influence of tuberculosis and COVID-19.Material and methods. Examination and treatment were carried out in the infectious-tuberculosis departments of the Botkin Clinical Infectious Disease Hospital. We examined 63 patients identified in the first seven months of the epidemic in the multimillion city of St. Petersburg (Russia). Tuberculosis, confirmed by conventional bacteriological and molecular genetic methods, had an active phase in all of them. The new coronavirus infection was verified by a positive polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2.Results. Tuberculosis in 43 patients was detected simultaneously with COVID-19, in 20 people it preceded coronavirus infection. Disseminated forms of tuberculosis prevailed - 50.8%; in 36.5%, two or more organs and systems were affected, which is associated with a high proportion (54.0%) of HIV-positive patients with an advanced stage of the disease. Lung damage with COVID-19 was noted in 36.5%. Fatal outcomes ended in 20.6% of cases of coinfection, the structure of the causes of death is given.Conclusion. An assumption was made about the possibility of an aggravating effect of tuberculosis on COVID-19 in the case of severe or widespread forms of these diseases. The negative influence of HIV infection on the outcome of the disease has also been shown. Further follow-up is required to identify more reliable associations between tuberculosis and COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Objectives
To investigate adolescent orthodontic patient experiences and quality of life with fixed appliances compared to Invisalign.

Materials and Methods
Adolescent patients in active treatment with Invisalign or fixed appliances for a minimum of 6 months were provided with the Child Oral Health Impact Profile-Short Form 19 questionnaire, along with additional items of interest that were assessed separately. Pearson's χ2 test was used to compare responses (P &lt; .05), and unpaired t-tests (P &lt; .05) were used to test for differences in mean satisfaction, quality of life, and domain scores.

Results
In total, 74 patients (37 in each treatment group) participated. Overall, no significant differences were noted in the mean quality of life, satisfaction, or domain scores between the two groups. A significant difference was noted in the time taken to adjust to appliances, with the Invisalign group demonstrating faster adaptation. Additionally, the fixed appliance group was 3.8 times more likely to report missing school because of their appliance (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2, 12.5) and 2.7 times more likely to report having difficulty eating certain foods (95% CI: 1.1, 7.1). When the sample of females between the ages of 14 and 18 was analyzed, the Invisalign group reported feeling attractive more often than the fixed appliance group.

Conclusions
Both treatment groups were generally very satisfied with their treatment modality. The overall quality of life of adolescent orthodontic patients undergoing treatment with fixed appliances and Invisalign for a minimum of 6 months was similar.

Exhaustion while teleworking during COVID-19: a moderated-mediation model of role clarity, self-efficacy, and task interdependence
Authors: Mihalca Loredana , Lucia Ratiu Lucia , Brendea Gabriela , Metz Daniel , Dragan Mihaela , Dobre Florin 
Published: July 2021

Research background: The global COVID-19 pandemic created an unprecedented challenge not only for employees? well-being, but also for the nature of their work, as teleworking became the norm for many of them almost overnight. Thus, there is a need to a more fine-grained understanding of the specific job demands experienced while teleworking during COVID-19, and the specific resources that mitigate the detrimental effects of demands and help employees to adopt resilient responses during and beyond COVID-19.
Purpose of the article: Drawing upon the job demands-resources model, the present study aims at investigating the link between work overload (a job demand) and employee well-being (i.e., burnout), considering role clarity (a job resource) as a mediator, and task interdependence and self-efficacy as two potential boundary conditions.
Methods: In order to examine the link between work overload, role clarity and emotional exhaustion moderated by task interdependence and self-efficacy, we used survey data from 701 Romanian employees at a large information technology company, who worked from home during COVID-19. We employed regression-based path analysis to examine the hypothesized relations.
Findings & value added: The results reveal that role clarity partially mediates the relation between work overload and emotional exhaustion while teleworking during COVID-19. Moreover, the results from the moderated mediation analysis show that role clarity, self-efficacy, and task interdependence interact in their effects on emotional exhaustion. This study has important theoretical and managerial implications for employee well-being that go beyond the pandemic. As this study shows, when high levels of workload and task interdependence cannot be avoided, employees? personal (self-efficacy) and job (role clarity) resources might be particularly useful to reduce their exhaustion while teleworking. Based on these results, managers can design better jobs for remote workers and more flexible work arrangements in the future.
The nonlinear relationship between financial flexibility and enterprise risk-taking during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan?s semiconductor industry
Authors: Chang Bao-Guang , Wu Kun-Shan 
Published: July 2021

Research background: Risk-taking is the basis for sustainable development of enterprise. It was clear that the influence COVID-19 epidemic on the global market economy has increased operational risks for businesses. The semiconductor industry has high operating risks and financial risks. Moderate financial flexibility (FF) can improve the ability of semiconductor enterprises to acquire financial resources in real time, calmly cope with the impact of uncertainties in operation, improve investment opportunities, and enhance sustainable operation. It is therefore interesting to study the influence of FF on enterprise risk-taking (ERT).
Purpose of the article: The aim of the contribution is to explore the effect of FF on ERT within Taiwan?s semiconductor industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic period, and investigate whether ERT varies with semiconductor industry characteristic.
Methods: Data from first three quarters of 2020, from multinational semiconductor firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE), were collected and analyzed. Fixed effects regression with heteroscedasticity adjustment used to evaluate the influence of FF on the ERT of Taiwan?s semiconductor industry. Furthermore, in order to corroborate and support the reliability of the results, this research also used the different measures of ERT and Quantile regression (median regression) in the research model to check the robustness.
Findings & value added: Empirical results indicate that FF has a U-shaped effect on ERT for multinational semiconductor firms listed on the TSE, particularly within the integrated circuits (IC) manufacturing industry. Additionally, FF also has a U-shaped effect on ERT for the asset-light semiconductor and IC manufacturing industries. This article also suggests that for the asset-light semiconductor and IC manufacturing industries, the optimal inflection points are 1.1397 and 0.9729, respectively. Based on the consequences of this study, it is suggested that Taiwan?s semiconductor industry should reasonably maintain FF and focus on the liquidity risk management for the long term value added, even after the COVID-19 pandemic period.
How do demographics and basic traits of an entrepreneur impact the internationalization of firms?
Authors: Wach Krzysztof , Głodowska Agnieszka 
Published: July 2021

Research background: The theoretical basis of the study derives from the assumptions of international entrepreneurship combining theories of entrepreneurship and theories of international business. The identification of entrepreneurship determinants and attributes was based on the economic, socio ? cultural, as well as psychological approach to entrepreneurship.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to verify how demographic and basic traits of an entrepreneur affect the pace of the internationalization of firms from Poland.
Methods: The study was based on CATI method. The article uses data collected on the basis of a study conducted on a sample of 355 companies from Poland. The research methods applied are a critical analysis of prior research, which allowed to identify the research gap and develop research hypotheses. In the empirical part, statistical methods were applied, including descriptive statistics and multidimensional regression.
Findings & value added: The logistic regression estimation allows to confirm three hypotheses. With the age of the entrepreneur, the pace of internationalization of the firm increases. The pace of internationalization of the firm increases with the level of education of the entrepreneur. The fact that an entrepreneur belongs to a national minority increases the pace of the internationalization of the firm. Results of two-sample t-test confirm that firms whose entrepreneurs have higher entrepreneurial competences internationalize faster and earlier. The added value of the article is the combination of socio-demographic and psycho-cognitive characteristics of the entrepreneur with internationalisation. Applying this approach to a sample of firms from Poland (CEE market) contributes to research on international entrepreneurship in a thematic and geographical sense. The results of the study are of an applied nature. They can be addressed to many recipients: entrepreneurs, policymakers, educators, entities responsible for shaping and promoting entrepreneurship on both the micro and macro levels.
La cultura de la paz desde las perspectivas de las encíclicas Laudato si' y Fratelli tutti
Authors: Di Giacomo Mario 
Published: July 2021

Este trabajo analiza los recursos teóricos que emplean Laudato si’ y Fratelli tutti para consolidar una ética cósmica comprometida con la totalidad de la creación y con las deudas generacionales, así como una fraternidad universal que descree de las dimensiones cercano-lejano, pues el sufrimiento hace de lo infinitamente lejano algo profundamente cercano. La aspiración, difícil, de ambas es procurar un llamado a la paz entre los hombres, buscando lo que hay de común entre ellos, superando los muros que los separan gracias a ideologías arraigadas en el conflicto, en el temor y la segregación del desconocido. Metodológicamente el artículo intentará mantenerse más acá de los límites confesionales, para así extraer la savia propiamente racional de los argumentos. No deseo llamar a esto “ateísmo metodológico”, pero sí “prudencia metódica”, para, respetando aún ambas dimensiones, mantenernos en ésa en que la racionalidad marca las normas del discurso. El método a seguir es analítico-sintético: los documentos revisados se examinan de manera hermenéutica, propia de la tradición humanística, se confutan posiciones teóricas y se establecen conclusiones provisionales cercanas a los documentos pontificios analizados.

Published: July 2021

Aims
The impact of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on coronary atherosclerosis has not been clearly investigated so far. We aimed to assess the effects of G6PD deficiency on the extent and complexity of coronary atherosclerosis in a large unselected cohort of consecutive patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).

Methods
We studied 623 consecutive patients presenting with ACS and undergoing coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). G6PD activity was quantitatively measured in all individuals using a biochemical assay based on the G6PD/6GPD ratio in erythrocytes. Individuals were defined as deficient when the ratio was less than 0.80. The severity and complexity of coronary atherosclerosis were assessed by SYNTAX score at baseline angiography.

Results
Fifty-six patients (9%) showed G6PD deficiency. Severe (i.e. enzymatic activity < 0.10) G6PD deficiency was detected in 33 (5.3%) individuals, mainly of male sex (n = 32). Overall, the cardiovascular risk profile was similar between patients with G6PD deficiency and controls. Patients with G6PD deficiency showed similar severity and complexity of coronary atherosclerosis as compared to control patients; accordingly, the SYNTAX score (15 vs. 14.5, P = 0.90, respectively, in G6PD-deficent patients and controls), and all its components were similar between deficient individuals and controls. The only independent predictor of a SYNTAX score of more than 22 was patients’ age (odds ratio 1.035, 95% confidence interval 1.018–1.051; P < 0.001).

Conclusion
G6PD deficiency does not impact on the extent and complexity of coronary atherosclerosis assessed by coronary angiography in patents presenting with ACS.

Published: July 2021

Aims
In patients with chronic heart failure, QRS duration is a consistent predictor of poor outcomes. It has been suggested that for indicated patients, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) could come sooner in the treatment algorithm, perhaps in parallel with the attainment of optimal guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT). We aimed to investigate differences in left ventricular (LV) remodelling in those with narrow QRS (NQRS) compared with wide QRS (WQRS) in the absence of CRT, whether an early CRT strategy resulted in unnecessary implants and the effect of early CRT on outcomes.

Methods
Our cohort consisted of 214 consecutive patients with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or less who underwent repeat echocardiography 1 year after enrolment. Of these, 116 patients had NQRS, and 98 had WQRS of whom 40 received CRT within 1 year and 58 did not.

Results
In the absence of CRT, patients with WQRS had less LV reverse remodelling compared with those with NQRS, with differences in ΔLVEF (+2 vs. +9%, P < 0.001) ΔLV end-diastolic diameter (−1 vs. −2 mm, P = 0.095), ΔLV end-systolic diameter (−2 vs. −4.5 mm, P = 0.038), LV end-systolic volume (−12.6 vs. −25.0 ml, P = 0.054) and LV end-diastolic volume (−7.3 vs. −12.2 ml, P = 0.071). LVEF was more likely to improve by at least 10% if patients had NQRS or received CRT (P = 0.08). Thirteen (24%) patients with WQRS achieved an LVEF greater than 35% in the absence of CRT; however, none achieved greater than 50%.

Conclusion
A strictly linear approach to heart failure therapy might lead to delays to optimal treatment in those patients with the most to gain from CRT and the least to gain from GDMT.

Construction on the peat soil and alluvial soil will increase rapidly in the future, if we don’t know the characteristics of the soil, construction problems and failures will occur. Peat soil and alluvial soil has a very low bearing capacity, so they have a very large settlement. Alluvial soil and any other sandy soils has a very low bearing capacity, just like peat soil, and sandy soil has a highly potential of liquefaction. This research is to find out whether Sand Compaction Pile method can improve the bearing capacity of the peat and alluvial soil, and prevent liquefaction in sandy soil. In this case study, we only focus to one bore hole that has a peat layer above the alluvial layer and then improve it with Sand Compaction Pile method. Comparing the bearing capacity results, before and after the improving, with Sand Compaction Pile method, we can find out whether the Sand Compaction Pile can be used for the soil improving method on the peat and alluvial soil. Pembangunan di atas tanah gambut dan tanah aluvial akan meningkat secara drastis kedepannya, apabila kita tidak mengetahui karakteristik dari tanah tersebut maka akan banyak masalah da/atau kegagalan konstruksi. Tanah gambut dan tanah aluvial memiliki daya dukung yang rendah sehingga akan mengakibatkan terjadinya penurunan yang besar. Tanah aluvial atau tanah berpasir lainnya juga memiliki daya dukung yang rendah dan kemungkinan potensi terjadinya likuefaksi sangat tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah dengan metode Sand Compaction Pile (SCP) dapat memperbaiki parameter tanah, meningkatkan daya dukung dari tanah gambut dan tanah aluvial, dan mencegah potensi terjadinya likuefaksi pada tanah berpasir. Studi kasus ini lebih difokuskan terhadap salah satu bor log yang memiliki lapisan gambut yang tebal dan kemudian di perbaiki dengam metode Sand Compaction Pile. Dengan membandingkan hasil dari daya dukung tanah sebelum di perbaiki dan setelah di perbaiki dengan metode Sand Compaction Pile, kita dapat mengetahui apakah Sand Compaction Pile dapat di gunakan sebagai metode perbaikan tanah di tanah gambut dan tanah aluvial.
