Abstract

Objectives:
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most commonly reported thyroid malignancy. Recent epidemiological studies have demonstrated an increased risk of PTC in patients with chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT)/Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Reactive atypia is typically observed in cases of CLT/HT. If severe, this atypia is referred to as “follicular epithelial dysplasia” (FED). FED can mimic PTC; however, it lacks the invasive growth of papillary architecture and intranuclear pseudoinclusions seen in PTC. This study reviewed postthyroidectomy cases between 2016 and 2020 to evaluate the association between FED and PTC.

Materials and Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 91 thyroid specimens in King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, from January 2016 to December 2020. All 91 cases have HT in addition to PTC or other benign conditions. We evaluate the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TpoAb), and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) and examined the cases microscopically to evaluate: the grading of inflammation and presence of FED based on the following criteria: cells should be <1 cm, stand out on low power, and demonstrate overlapping, crowding, irregular nuclear membranes, and mild grooves on high power.

Results:
HT was most frequently observed in female patients (93.4%). Almost 60% of the participants were aged over 40 years. Nearly half of the samples were euthyroid (51.2%), with high levels of preoperative TgAb and TpoAb observed in 83% and 72.9% of participants, respectively. No significant association was observed between FED and PTC (P = 0.39). Similarly, inflammation grade was also not found to be associated with PTC (P = 0.98).

Conclusion:
FED is a challenging diagnosis, and additional research is required to understand its nature and determine whether or not it should be classified as premalignant. Obtaining a second opinion from a subspecialized pathologist is highly recommended when encountering suspected FED.

В рецензии на фундаментальный труд «Летопись жизни и творчества К. Н. Леонтьева (1831–1891)», подготовленный О. Л. Фетисенко, выясняется вопрос о научно-исследовательской базе издания. Отмечено, что в «летописи» впервые широко показано родственно-дружеское окружение писателя, приводится много цитат из неопубликованного эпистолярия. Проанализирован новаторский подход исследовательницы к делу: «летопись» являет собой не просто справочник с набором фактов, имеющих документальное подтверждение, а связное повествование, отличающееся многообразием живых подробностей. Благодаря этому удается воссоздать образ реального Константина Леонтьева с его богатым внутренним миром, достоинствами и слабостями, понять, что его окружало, что формировало как личность и что было дорого его сердцу. Констатируется, что рецензируемый труд обладает важными свойствами научной биографии. Среди нововведений в жанр «летописи», осуществленных О. Л. Фетисенко, указано приложение с уникальными биобиблиографическими списками.
In a review of the fundamental work “Chronicle of the life and work of K. N. Leontyev (1831–1891)”, prepared by O. L. Fetisenko, the issue of the scientific research base of the publication is clarified. It is noted that the “chronicle” for the first time widely shows the writer’s family and friendship environment; many quotes are given from the unpublished epistolary. The researcher’s innovative approach to the matter is analyzed: the “chronicle” is not just a reference book with a set of facts that have documentary evidence, but a coherent narrative, distinguished by a variety of living details. Thanks to this, it is possible to recreate the image of the real Konstantin Leontiev with his rich inner world, strengths and weaknesses, to understand what surrounded him, what shaped him as a person and what was dear to his heart. It is stated that the work under review has important properties of a scientific biography. Among the innovations in the genre of “chronicles” carried out by O. L. Fetisenko, an appendix with unique biobibliographic lists is indicated.
The Churching of Culture as a Main Research Theme of S. S. Averintsev
Authors: Даренский В.Ю. 
Published: September 2024

В статье рассматривается главная «внутренняя» тема исследований С. С. Аверинцева, которая имеет парадигмальный характер и для него как ученого, и для христианской философии культуры в целом. Это — проблема воцерковления культуры как особый парадоксальный процесс наполнения и преображения старых языческих форм культуры под воздействием нового христианского содержания. Этот процесс показан у С. С. Аверинцева в качестве модели пара-фраза и пара-докса как форм трансцендирования сознания для открытости евангельской Вести. В самой разнообразной своей проблематике С. С. Аверинцев использует метод «вскрытия» трансцендирующих элементов культуры.
The article examines the main “internal” topic of S. S. Averintsev’s research, which has a paradigmatic character both for him as a scientist and for the Christian philosophy of culture as a whole. This is the problem of the churching of culture as a special paradoxical process of filling and transforming the old pagan forms of culture under the influence of a new Christian content. This process is shown by S. S. Averintsev as a model of para-phrase and para-dox as forms of transcending consciousness for the openness of the Gospel Message. In his most diverse problems, S. S. Averintsev uses the method of “opening” the transcendent elements of culture.

Authors: Bozhkova Ruska Ventsislavova 
Published: September 2024

Introduction: This paper explores the impact of illegal migration on the tourism sector in Greece. Utilizing a Vector autoregression (VAR) methodology, the research examines the relationship between the influx of illegal migrants and the number of tourist arrivals. The study presents the migration as a phenomenon that takes place dynamically the last decades in Europe in general and the Greek territory particular. By providing, empirical evidence on the short-term and long-term impacts of illegal migration on tourism in Greece, this study contributes to the broader discourse on migration and economic stability. The research's findings reveal that illegal migration does not significantly influence tourism arrivals in Greece. This indicates that tourists’ decisions to visit Greece are driven by factors other than concerns related to illegal migration.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between the influx of illegal migrants and the number of tourist arrivals

Theoretical Framework: In this topic, the main concepts and theories that underpin the research are presented: the Model of cyclicity, Lee’s migration model.

Method: The research examines the relationship between the influx of illegal migrants and the number of tourist arrivals over a specific period. The methodology used for this research is Vector autoregression analysis, with monthly data for the period January 2015 to December 2023. This analytical approach allows for the examination of the dynamic interactions and potential causality between the two variables over time.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed reveal that illegal migration does not significantly influence tourism arrivals in Greece. Changes in the number of migrants arriving do not predict changes in tourist arrivals, and changes in tourist arrivals do not predict the number of migrants arriving in Greece. The outcome is positive for the Greek tourism industry, which is of a great importance for the country’s GDP and employment politics.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of tourism. These implications could encompass the socio-economic sector of the country.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by a vector autoregression analysis to the broader discourse on migration and economic stability. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by the findings, that reveal that illegal migration does not significantly impact tourism arrivals in Greece. This indicates that tourists’ decisions to visit Greece are driven by factors other than concerns related to illegal migration.

Authors: Tong Luyao , Zhan Qianyi , Zhang Li 
Published: September 2024

IntroductionAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of central vision loss, with an increasing prevalence related to a growing economic burden. Understanding the epidemiological changes of AMD is essential for targeting the resource allocation of medicine, interventions, and the economy.Material and methodsThe global prevalence and years lived with disability of AMD by sociodemographic index (SDI), sex, and age groups from 1990 to 2019 based on the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 were retrieved and utilized to estimate epidemiological changes.ResultsThe global AMD population increased significantly from 3581.33 thousand in 1990 to 7792.53 thousand in 2019, and the years lived with disability significantly increased from 296.77 thousand years to 564.06 thousand years. The AMD burden was higher among females (57.77% to 59.20%), the elderly (65–74 years old), and individuals in high-middle and middle SDI regions from 1990 to 2019. The most significant increase in global burden occurred between 2014 and 2019. The age-standardized rate was predicted to remain stable, but the AMD case number was predicted to increase over the next 20 years. Tobacco use was the major diminishing risk factor.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated the increasing AMD burden in the past 30 years and predicted the increasing change of AMD prevalence in the next 20 years in the context of the aging global population. Disease burdens, including case number and age-standardized rate, were higher among females, the elderly, and individuals in high-middle and middle SDI regions. The present findings will contribute to healthcare investment and policymaking.

Authors: Zulfiqar Bushra , Abdul Rashid  , Muhammad Akram  
Published: September 2024

Purpose–Innovation plays an important role in the growth of a firm. It helps the firm to gain a competitive advantage domestic market as well as in the international market. Previous studies examined the outcome of various types of innovation strategies adopted by the firm on the employment of firms. Nevertheless, the role of all four types of innovation strategies, i.e., product, process, organizational, and marketing innovation may have complementary effects on the employment of firms.
Design/methodology/approach–This study analyzed the role of quadruple-complementarity among various innovation strategies in stimulating the employment of firms using the data from World Bank Innovation surveys and World Bank Enterprise surveys. In this study, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India were included in the analysis. Logistic regression is used as an econometric technique to carry out estimation.
Findings–The finding revealed the existence of quadruple complementarity among various innovative strategies adopted by the firm in an innovation-employment relationship only in Bangladesh, The results suggest that the firm may have better employment growth by simultaneously adopting all innovation strategies compared to the adoption of either strategy.
Originality/value–Innovation plays important role in improving firms’ growth. The paper addressed the role of multiple innovation strategies in enhancing firms’ growth in terms of the employment potential of the firm.
Implications and Research limitation–The findings suggest that government may design policies to improve the innovation potential of firms. Along with this firms may be encouraged to implement both technological and non-technological innovation strategies simultaneously for generating more employment opportunities. Our study used cross-sectional data for analysis, however, the analysis may be conducted using panel data for obtaining more detailed results.
Defining European Union’s Energy Security from the Perspective of 4A (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, Affordability) as an Impact from Russia-Ukraine’s Conflict
Authors: Budiman Nuans Asa S , Ramadhan Iqbal 
Published: September 2024

Energy issues become one of dilemma of European Union in Rusia invasion to Ukraine. The author of this scientific study analyzes European Union policy using Benjamin Sovacool's idea of energy security, including availability, accessibility, acceptability, and affordability. To explore this phenomenon, the author used qualitative research techniques and internet-based research. This study demonstrates how the European Union is putting numerous policies into practice to reduce energy scarcity by seeking out nations that can cooperate with them in the production of oil and gas, like Algeria, Qatar, and Norway. The European Union is also building a network of infrastructure for the distribution of gas and oil so that people in the area may access and affordably buy energy sources. By maximizing renewable energy, the European Union is diversifying its energy mix and reducing its reliance on imports of gas and oil.
