Technology adoption at scale: the success of USAID’s agriculture diversification project in Malawi
Authors: Said Jonathan , Goldsmith Peter 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Dr. Fenton Sands, USAID’s new contract representative, faced some challenges. His office, USAID-Malawi over many years showed great commitment to the country, yet there seemed to be insufficient progress in poverty reduction, agricultural yield improvement, and smallholder farmer incomes. Now in 2017, the mission managed 25 different multimillion-dollar projects that touched on agriculture, the economy, resilience, gender, and nutrition, with little sustainability evident. Dr. Sands’ task was twofold, specifically, how to depart from past practice and actually achieve sustainable impact at scale here in Malawi, as he launched the new $60m Ag Div activity and more generally, if successful, how should USAID scale the success across the region. This case study provides unique insights into how Dr. Sands and his team jettisoned traditional development approaches and builds sustainable economic impact at scale through a novel private sector platform. USAID Malawi’s brave new venture successfully leveraged university research via the Soybean Innovation Lab to assure sound science and evidenced based decision making. Dr. Sand’s novel approach, presented here as a teaching case study, provides an explicit pathway for development officers, university researchers, program implementers, and leaders in the donor community to build sustainable impact in partnership with the private sector.
Hacia una plataforma de apoyo al multilingüismo de señas
Authors: Chacón-Rivas Mario , Schlunzen Junior Klaus 
Published: October 2024

El uso y aprendizaje de las lenguas de señas es de interés tanto de personas sordas como oyentes, ya que esto garantiza los derechos de acceso a la información para todo tipo de personas. Por lo que el crear tecnologías de apoyo para el uso, mejora y dominio de las lenguas de señas es de vital importancia, y más aun si estas tecnologías apoyan el multilingüismo en un mundo tan globalizado. Por esta razón el proyecto PIELS como plataforma internacional de edición de lengua de señas, busca la unión del Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica y de universidades del estado de Sao Paulo, para enriquecer una plataforma con contenidos en LESCO y LIBRAS que apoyen el multilingüismo.
Internal Connectedness and Accrual Quality: Evidence from Employee LinkedIn Connections
Authors: Li Shelley Xin , Zhou Aner 
Published: October 2024

SYNOPSIS
We investigate the impact of employee connectedness on a firm’s accrual quality. Using data from the largest professional network, LinkedIn, we measure the degree to which employees are connected—which we label “internal connectedness”—and are therefore likely to interact and share information. We hypothesize and find that a firm’s internal connectedness increases its accrual quality and that the positive effect is stronger when external monitoring or internal formal monitoring is weaker or when accrual estimation is more difficult. That is, the effects of internal connectedness are stronger when greater benefits can be expected from enhanced informal internal information sharing. Our results provide insights for academics and practitioners in understanding the determinants of financial reporting quality and the crucial yet often neglected role of the internal information environment.

A pandemia foi um período que afetou a toda sociedade assim como a educação básica e as aulas de Educação Física Escolar (EFE). O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi descrever as consequências na EFE pós pandemia, analisando a realidade da pandemia, as metodologias e práticas adotadas durante esse período. Este estudo caracteriza-se como uma revisão sistemática. O resultado obtido foi um total de 17 artigos, utilizando os refinadores: palavras-chave “Educação Física”, “Covid-19”, “Pandemia” e “Consequência”, anos de 2020 a 2022, artigos publicados em português em periódicos SCIELO e a ferramenta Google Scholar para a sua elaboração. Os resultados demonstram que o uso excessivo das tecnologias e uma nova maneira de ministrar as aulas de EFE, fez com que os estudantes convivessem com as ferramentas tecnológicas como estratégia pedagógica para não perderem a vivência do movimento humano como a essência da EFE. Porém, as estratégias didático-pedagógicas não foram suficientes e ocorreu um atraso no desenvolvimento global dos estudantes como afetivo, social, cognitivo e motor. Concluímos que a EFE sofreu mudanças significativas pós pandemia. Acredita-se que as consequências evidenciadas deverão ser amenizadas no dia a dia em um trabalho conjunto da escola, famílias e toda a sociedade.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The lung is a common site of involvement both in TB and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease, caused by disease itself or therapy. After completion of antiTB treatment, post TB lung disease (PTLD) residual changes persist and affect heath, survival and quality of life, mainly in patients with associated collagen diseases, as RA. Bronchiectasis are described in both RA and PTLD. The purpose of this prevalence study of bronchiectasis, performed among 92 RA hospitalized patients, from June 2017 to June 2019, consists in a pictorial assessment of the lung involvement changes, noticed on chest radiography and/or computed tomography, described in relation with TB sequelae, severity and duration of RA disease. Results. A high prevalence of imagistic abnormalities was found in 77.2% of cases (n=71/92). Bronchiectasis was a frequent imagistic chest finding (24/71; 33.8%), having a lower frequency among all study group patients (n=24/92; 26%), mostly older nonsmoker females. Conclusions. In a high TB burden, as Romania, the prevalence of bronchiectasis is related with advanced RA disease, being strongly correlated with persistent respiratory symptoms (p=0.009), and coexisting PTLD calcified nodular lung sequelae (p=0.001).
Chess and Freedom
Authors: Lange Bernd-Peter 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The tension between the game of chess as strictly regulated by rules and the idea of freedom can be traced in three radidal examples separated by media and different periods of the twentieth century. The first emphatic employment of the concept of freedom is in the title of a chess journal issued by the Communist opposition of the central German working-class chess organization at the end of the Weimar Republic. In the journal Frei Schach! the radical subsection of “Red Sports Unity” asserts its claim for supremacy, demanding revolutionary goals in the class struggle. But this journalistic appeal to freedom was countered by the use of the same concept by the moderate alternative central chess organisation, and soon even by the National Socialists suppressing both working-class organisations. In the cultural scene after the second world war there was a distant, strangely depoliticized echo of freedom in chess. In the Austrian avantgarde dramatist Wolfgang Bauer`s version of Ibsen`s modernist revision of classical drama in the play Ghosts there is a farcical use of everyday objects as a replacement of chess elements. They function as a postmodern parody of the conventional structures of a conversation play. Compared to such highly idiosyncratic ludic transformation of chess games, today`s digitalized chess in which the computer is the final arbiter makes the game more accessible to the masses. The surface democratic appeal in which average players can turn into critics of the chess elite is accompanied by the complete subjection to digitalisation on a late capitalist agenda. However, this does not completely deprive the traditional game of chess of its promise of playful enjoyment for an increasing number of people on a global scale.

Povzetek
Primeri skrajno desničarskega ekstremizma v nemškem poveljstvu specialnih sil kopenske vojske (Kommando Spezialkräfte Heer, KSK) se že več let uvrščajo na naslovnice mednarodnih medijev. Ogorčenje nemške javnosti in zahteva po spremembah sta ponudila priložnost za prestrukturiranje ne le KSK, temveč vseh nemških vojaških sil za specialno delovanje (GERSOF). Pričujoči prispevek zagovarja, da je celovita prenova potrebna zaradi številnih izzivov, s katerimi se spoprijemajo GERSOF, vendar je bil zagon izgubljen zaradi odnosov med nemško vlado in ključnimi deležniki, vključno z mediji. Prispevek na podlagi teorije akterjev in omrežij raziskuje te zapletene odnose in ponazarja, zakaj je vlada zapravila priložnosti za okrepitev GERSOF kot elementa nacionalne varnosti in za ponovno potrditev zavezanosti zaveznikom.
„Es ist wichtiger denn je, unsere Erkenntnis in den öffentlichen Raum zu tragen“
Authors: Jäger Simon 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Democratic values and social cohesion are under threat, said Simon Jäger in his acceptance speech on 17 September 2024 at the Gustav Stolper Prize at the annual conference of the Verein für Socialpolitik at the Technical University of Berlin. But what does this development mean for economists? Withdrawing science from the public discourse is not an option. On the contrary, precisely because of today’s challenges, the public’s engagement in science is more necessary than ever. Five principles should guide the participation in science in public discourse. The article contains the verbatim text of the speech.

Auswirkungen der Neuregelung zur nachgelagerten Besteuerung
Authors: Schultis Sebastian , Toussaint Philipp , Stramka Sebastian 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In 2021, the Federal Fiscal Court pointed out to the legislator that future pensioners could be affected by potential double taxation due to deferred taxation. The Growth Opportunities Act passed in April 2024 now implements a flat-rate solution to avoid double taxation, extending the transition period until 2058. The results show, based on generational accounting, that this flat-rate solution has little impact on the sustainability of public finances. However, it leads to a considerable intergenerational redistribution at the expense of future generations.

National Projects and Ethnic Minorities in the Middle East: Turkey, Syria, Iraq
Authors: Seyidli Saleh A. , Kudryashova I. V. 
Published: October 2024

National projects in the post-Ottoman space drew scholarly attention with the growth and institutionalization of political activity of ethnic minorities in Iraq and Syria, which was caused by the US operation in Iraq (2003) and the events of the Arab Spring. Is there a place for minorities, the largest of which are the Kurds, in the national projects of these countries? On the analysis of the Turkish and Arab versions of nationalism, it is shown that initially they have features of both the French (civil) and German (ethnic) models of nationalism and imply the implementation of minority rights subject to the acceptance of the majority culture.However, according to the constructivist approach, a civic component is expected to develop. This shift occurred in the Iraqi version of nationalism when the democratic constitution of 2005 granted minorities administrative-territorial (Kurds) or cultural (Turkomans, Assyrians) autonomy. Changes towards the recognition of the cultural rights of the Kurds have also been recorded in Turkey. In Syria, the ruling elite still adheres to the ideas of Arab nationalism, however, many Syrian opposition organizations are ready to recognize the multi-ethnic character of the Syrian nation, thus the Syrian national narrative is also becoming more complex.

Authors: Teixeira Gustavo Araújo , Sousa Jr Antonio Carlos Gomes de , Malagoni Ricardo Amâncio , Finzer José Roberto Delalibera 
Published: October 2024

Objective: The aim of this paper is to investigate the crystallization of citric acid on a vibrated bed within a stainless-steel crystallizer, featuring a jacket and a trunk-conical shape, utilizing a constrained quantity of seed crystals.

Theoretical Framework: This study assessed mass yield and characteristic dimensions in the crystallization of anhydrous citric acid using a vibrated bed batch crystallizer, employing a limited quantity of seed crystals.

Method: Operational optimization of the process was conducted using central composite design (CCD), considering the independent variables: dimensionless vibration number, supersaturation level, and seed population. The operating temperature was set at 55°C. The condition yielding maximum mass was utilized to study the growth kinetics over a time range from 0.5 hours to 2 hours. Characteristic dimension and concentration were monitored as a function of crystallization time.

Results and Discussion: In two hours of operation, the crystal mass increased by 157%, and the characteristic dimension increased to approximately 42%. Growth rates, overall mass transfer coefficient, and growth kinetics order were determined.

Originality: This article consists of a contribution to the use of vibration to improve crystallization with the application of vibration to improve the transfer of heat and mass.
Reflections on profane and sacred time in the novel Forbidden Forest by Mircea Eliade
Authors: Holhos Maria , Holhos Andra Gabriela 
Published: October 2024

One of the existential anxieties met in the novel The Forbidden Forest by Mircea Eliade is that of time. The characters of the novel become carriers of messages, and the place of their action becomes a real labyrinth under the division between the sacred and the profane. ?tefan Viziru's belief that historical events conceal profound spiritual significances refers to a period in the author's life, the period of his European exile, an initiation quest, an attempt to decode the lines of his destiny. Through interpreting some contemporary national events, one can discover in Mircea Eliade's novel new symbolic meanings, a philosophy of the relationship between personal destiny and the history of the Romanian people. Through the complexity of its theme and its obsessive quest for the sacred in a modern desacralized world, the novel becomes a challenge. It helps us find answers related to the meaning of human existence.

Проблемы эффективности освоения иностранного языка (ИЯ) остаются актуальными для современной лингвистики, педагогики, психологии и смежных наук в связи с большим количеством факторов разного уровня, связанных с процессом и результатом изучения ИЯ. Целью исследования, представленного в данной статье, является анализ соотношения академической мотивации и личностных черт с успешностью изучения ИЯ у старшеклассников медицинского профиля обучения. В исследовании приняли участие 120 учащихся 10-11 классов (60 девушек и 60 юношей) государственного бюджетного образовательного учреждения города Москвы (средний возраст респондентов – 17 лет), изучающих английский язык как иностранный. Для диагностики черт личности применялась русскоязычная краткая версия Пятифакторного опросника в адаптации М.В. Бодунова и С.Д. Бирюкова, академическая мотивация измерялась с помощью опросника «Шкалы академической мотивации» Т.О. Гордеевой, О.А. Сычева, Е.Н. Осина. В качестве показателя успешности изучения ИЯ использовались средние баллы оценок школьников учителями ИЯ по пятибалльной шкале. В результате были установлены значимые различия как в выраженности отдельных черт личности и видов академической мотивации, так и в корреляциях изучаемых переменных в выборках юношей и девушек.
The problems of the effectiveness of foreign language (FL) acquisition remain relevant in modern linguistics, pedagogy, psychology and related sciences due to a large number of factors of different levels associated with the process and result of studying FL. The purpose of the study presented in this article is to analyze the associations of academic motivation and personality traits with the success of studying FL in high school students. A total of 120 (50% – females) students of a Moscow comprehensive school took part in the research. All respondents were 10th-11th grade of the medical profile students (Mage = 17 years) studying English as a foreign language. To diagnose personality traits, the Russian short version of the Five Factors Personality questionnaire adapted by M.V. Bodunov and S.D. Biryukov was used, academic motivation was measured using the Academic Motivation Scales by T.O. Gordeeva et al. The average scores of schoolchildren's assessments by teachers of FL on a five-point scale as an indicator of the success of the study of FL were used. As a result, significant differences were found both in the severity of personality traits and types of academic motivation, and in the correlations of the studied variables in the samples of boys and girls.
