Skill Supply, Technology Diffusion and the Labour Market
Authors: Stepanok Ignat , Tesfaselassie Mewael F. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
We analyze the short and long-run effects of an increase in the skill supply on skill-specific wages and unemployment in a model with endogenous, nonlinear diffusion of a general purpose technology (GPT) and labour market frictions. We calibrate and simulate the model using the trend rise in relative skill supply in the U.S. over two decades starting in the early 1970s. The transitional dynamics of the model show (i) an initial slump and long-run rise in the relative wage of high-skill labour and (ii) a long-run rise in the relative level of unemployment of low-skill versus high-skill labour. An increase in the number of skilled individuals reduces hiring costs and increases the incentive for firms to engage in the costly adoption of a new GPT. Stronger labour market rigidity and higher worker bargaining power are shown to have similar effects on relative wages and unemployment: changes in relative wages are more pronounced, whereas the response of relative unemployment is muted. The exact opposite effects are found in the case of a higher degree of substitution between products.

Abstract

Objectives
The study provides a thorough examination of the rhizomes of Curcuma caesia Roxb., which is a medicinal substance sometimes referred to as black turmeric and has not been well studied.

Methods
The study examines the pharmacognostical characteristics, GC-MS profiling, and elemental analysis of the substance to determine its potential for use in medicine. The presence of heavy metal contamination in herbal products is a significant issue, which necessitates the use of Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry to quantitatively analyze eight elements.

Results
The investigation validates the existence of crucial trace elements while guaranteeing that the levels of heavy metals are within the toxicity limits set by the World Health Organization. This indicates that the rhizome is safe for medicinal purposes. The selection of a solvent has a substantial impact on the efficiency of extraction. Acetone has the highest extraction yield, followed by ethanol and ethyl acetate. The GC-MS analysis uncovers a wide range of phytochemicals, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, steroids, and proteins. Additionally, particular solvents exclusively detect specific molecules. Epicurzerenone and zederone are chemicals that show promise for use in reducing inflammation and fighting cancer.

Conclusions
On the basis of results it can be concluded that rhizome’s quality based on acceptable physicochemical characteristics and provides a strong basis for future pharmacological research. The research has potential for the development of novel organic drugs, utilizing the abundant phytochemical composition of C. caesia Roxb. rhizomes.
Lexical niche and sustainability: an ecolinguistic perspective
Authors: Mo Ruifeng , Xiao Haozhang 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This paper proposes the innovative concept of lexical niche to analyze the ecology of vocabulary from an ecolinguistic perspective. Through the examination of niche breadth and overlap, we quantitatively assess the vitality and competition of six typical Chinese eating verbs: shi (食), fan (饭), can (餐), dan (啖), ru (茹), and chi (吃). The analysis reveals their diachronic evolution in the history of the Chinese language (temporal niche), their synchronic distribution in Chinese dialects (spatial niche), and their verb-object collocation (functional niche). The findings indicate the following: (1) Shi, fan, can, dan, and ru originated in Early Old Chinese, while chi emerged in Late Old Chinese. (2) The niche breadths of the six eating verbs are as follows: 2.585, −2.391, −2.242, −0.108, −1.734, and 3.889, respectively. Chi demonstrates the highest vitality, followed by shi; fan, can, dan, and ru exhibit extremely low vitality. (3) Shi originated in the Pre-Qin dynasty, serving as the dominant eating verb in ancient times with robust competition. However, in modern times, it has evolved into a morpheme for compound words, displaying weak sustainability. Chi, born in the Han dynasty, replaced shi as the dominant eating verb by the late Tang dynasty, establishing itself as the most competitive verb to date, characterized by strong sustainability.
Right vagotomy alters heart rate variability temporarily and increases total choline levels in rats

Published: June 2024

AbstractObjectivesThe variability in the time intervals between heartbeats, known as heart rate variability (HRV), serves as a reflection of the intricate interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic neural systems. While the potential asymmetric effects of the left and right branches of the vagus nerve remain uncertain, this study aims to investigate the impact of unilateral, bilateral, and atropine interventions on HRV parameters and choline levels within cardiac tissue.Methods40 male adult Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to the five groups (each n=8): sham-operated, atropine, right vagotomy, left vagotomy, and bilateral vagotomy. Heart rate variability (HRV) analyses were conducted, and the levels of total choline/acetylcholine in heart tissues were quantified. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the results.ResultsThe bilateral vagotomy and atropine groups exhibited higher heart rates and high frequency power (HF), along with reduced low frequency power (LF). Total power (TP) remained relatively unchanged. In the bilateral vagotomy group, DFAα1was significantly elevated while DFAα2was reduced significantly. SD1 and SampEn were significantly lower in both the bilateral vagotomy and atropine groups. Notably, the right vagotomy group displayed significant changes primarily in the 15th minute, particularly in time-domain parameters, HF, TP, and SD1, with a significant increase observed in total choline levels.ConclusionsOur results revealed that asymmetrical vagal innervation induces distinct effects on heart rate variability parameters and total choline/acetylcholine levels in heart tissues. Our findings suggest that compensatory hemodynamic recovery, possibly driven by contralateral vagal overactivity, may contribute to these observed results.

Abstract
In the present study, encapsulated strain Lactiplantibacillus rhamnosus NCDC 347 was used to prepare a novel whey protein–based beverage. The encapsulation process utilized skimmed milk powder matrix and evaluated strain viability, physico-chemical properties, sensory assessment, and shelf-life stability. Encapsulated L. rhamnosus NCDC 347 within skim milk powder maintained viability at 8.0 log CFU/g, forming spherical microcapsules with 1–12 µm concavities. Probiotic addition to whey protein beverages maintained pH and acidity within desired ranges. Physico-chemical analysis showed protein content of 8.71 ± 0.21 % to 10.05 ± 0.42 %, fat content of 0.56 ± 0.24 % to 0.67 ± 0.13 %, viscosity of 5.14 pa/s, and total soluble solids (TSS) of 14.42 ± 0.31 to 16.16 ± 0.23° Brix. The shelf-life study revealed that the beverage remained stable for up to 90 days with no significant changes (p > 0.05) in sensory analysis. The sensory analysis scored the test sample’s acceptability at 7.3 ± 0.41. The protein-rich probiotic drink exhibited favorable sensory qualities. Overall, incorporating encapsulated probiotic strain L. rhamnosus NCDC 347 into whey protein beverages could address daily protein requirements and enhance health.
VII. Eine Entwicklungsgeschichte des chinesischen Familien- und Erbrechts im Lichte der Rezeption des deutschen BGB
Authors: Wang Qiang 
Published: June 2024

Summary
In contrast with China’s several millennia of civilization history, its history of civil law legislation had not started until the late Qing-Dynasty (1911). This discrepancy stood out prominently in the correlated areas of the family law and inheritance law due to China’s cultural features and the compatible cultural awareness of its people, which had naturalized and legitimized their practices in both areas. Actually, in no other areas had the cultural consciousness, the deep-rooted cultural psychology and the consciousness-driven behavioral patterns of the Chinese families and individuals been more profoundly shaped by the rules of rites and etiquette, the ethical rules and the patriarchal clan system, central customary-legal elements enshrined in the Chinese history. As its key achievement, the legal modernization in the late Qing period (1902–1911) brought forth the Civil Code of the Qing- Dynasty (ZGE), the first such milestone in China’s legal history, initiating the civil law legislation in China. With regard to China’s special legal-historical and legal-cultural background, the drafters of the ZGE – especially its family and inheritance law – had to revolutionarily modernize the Chinese civil law, while at the same time, transferring certain traditional cultural legacies. This could not have been possible without adopting the German Civil Code (BGB) as the primary foreign codification model, especially from the legal-technical, legal-systematic and legal-dogmatic perspective. Ever since then, the evolution of the Chinese civil law has been closely connected with the adoption of the BGB, while the history of the former runs parallel to the history of the latter. The influences of the BGB on China’s major civil law codifications, including also the Civil Code of the Republic of China (1929–1931) and the PRC Civil Code (2020), have been significant and continuous. It is legal-historically insightful to probe into these influences while examining the evolutionary history of the Chinese family and inheritance law ever codified since the ZGE, and, accordingly, retracing and closely analyzing the pre-modern state of both areas.
VIII. Der Gastaufenthalt Otto Koellreutters in Tokio (1938/39): Eine Facette der Rezeption der nationalsozialistischen Staatslehre in Japan
Authors: Konno Hajime 
Published: June 2024

Summary
The Schieder-Conze controversy questioned the relationship between the German academic community and the National Socialist government; however, research on how the Japanese academic community dealt with the German-Japanese alliance is still in progress. This study focuses on Toyowo Ōgushi, a Ministry of Education official who invited Professor Otto Koellreutter of the University of Munich to Tokyo as a Japanese-German exchange professor, and his academic friend Teiji Yabe, an assistant professor at the Imperial University of Tokyo. Ōgushi, whose mentor was the conservative constitutional scholar Uesugi Shinkichi, left the graduate school of the Imperial University of Tokyo, which had highly liberal and socialist tendencies. He studied constitutional law at the University of Jena between 1928 and 1933, where he was influenced by Koellreutter and Carl Schmitt. Upon returning to Japan, Ōgushi became a proponent of German National Socialist jurisprudence. Ōgushi and his former schoolmate Teiji Yabe invited Koellreutter to visit Tokyo. As a researcher of democratic theory, Yabe had become an assistant professor at the Imperial University of Tokyo, but he had moved to the University of Munich in 1936 to study under Koellreutter after becoming increasingly critical of parliamentary democracy. The Faculty of Law of the Imperial University of Tokyo, which retained liberal tendencies, was not entirely at ease with Koellreutter. Nonetheless, the Faculty of Law at the Imperial University of Tokyo conducted systematic research on the already established German National Socialist regime; moreover, its tone was not always critical, and it did not prevent the alliance between Japan and Germany as they moved towards war.

This study describes the forms of commodification in da'wah activities on YouTube media. A YouTube channel called Yuk Ngaji TV has a commodification model for its da'wah activities in the media. The target of da'wah to teenagers, with a variety of interesting and unique content so as to produce various benefits for Yuk Ngaji TV. This study aims to analyze how the forms of commodification on YouTube media Yuk Ngaji TV. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a semiotic theory approach and media political economy. Data collection through documentation and observation. The results of this study prove that there are various forms of commodification that occur in Yuk Ngaji TV's da'wah activities to gain ideological and materialist benefits. Based on the theory of media political economy, there are various forms of commodification carried out, including the content, audience and labor of the Yuk Ngaji TV channel and its religious values. The commodification of the media has implications for the purity of da'wah that must be done properly and correctly, not just used to gain material and ideological benefits for a group. The implications of this research can have positive and negative impacts. The negative impact of the commodification of da'wah causes the fading of the purpose of da'wah rahmatan lil alamin because it focuses on increasing material benefits. While the positive impact on the perpetrators of da'wah is the motivation to create a way of da'wah that is valuable and attractive to da'wah partners.

Published: June 2024

Background: Post-dated pregnancy is that extends beyond 40 weeks plus one or more days (anytime past the estimated due date). Mother and the foetus are at increased risk of adverse events when the pregnancy continues beyond the expected date of delivery (EDD).
Method: This prospective observational study was conducted at obstetrics and gynaecology department of tertiary care centre of South Gujarat for 1 year period after official approval from human research ethical committee.
Results: In our study total 200 postdated pregnant women included. Majority i.e. 134 (67%) patients had delivered as normal vaginally, whereas 68 (34%) patients required caesarean section. The most common indication for cesarean section was meconium-stained liquor (42.6%, n=68) follow by fetal distress, 2nd stage CPD, non-progress of labor, failure of induction etc. Altogether 19 newborn need NICU admission for different complication of which the most common neonate’s complication was perinatal asphyxia followed by meconium aspiration syndrome and RDS and only one neonate had early neonate death (END) due to RDS.
Conclusions: In pregnancies beyond 40 weeks, timely confirmed of postdated pregnancy, effective fetal monitoring and timely induction and with proper intervention could preclude the adverse feto-maternal outcome.
Stanisława Judyckiego filozofia metafizycznego optymizmu
Authors: Łukasiewicz Dariusz 
Published: June 2024

W artykule przedstawiam główne przesłanki metafizycznego optymizmu obecne w filozofii Stanisława Judyckiego. Należą do nich: argument causa totalis za istnieniem bytu najwyższego, który nazywam modalnym, argument za osobową naturą bytu najwyższego, argumenty za doskonałą dobrocią bytu najwyższego oraz uniwersalistyczna (inkluzyjna) eschatologia. Wszystkie te przesłanki metafizycznego optymizmu uważam za zasadniczo trafne. Inaczej, mocniej niż Stanisław Judycki rozumiem wszechmoc Bożą. W zasięgu wszechmocnej woli Bożej leżą wszystkie Boże przymioty w tym doskonała dobroć, która została wyrażona działaniem Boga takim, jak Wcielenie i zniszczenie wszelkiego zła.
Búsqueda de la verdad en Dos veces junio: lectura hermenéutica desde la biopolítica.
Authors: Calle Herrera Estalin 
Published: June 2024

Estudia la búsqueda de la verdad en la novela Dos veces junio, de Kohan (2011), desde la lectura hermenéutica que emplea la teoría de la biopolítica y anatomopolítica de Foucault, para dar cuenta las relaciones que se establecen entre los personajes. Indaga los procedimientos narrativos del autor y en las relaciones diegéticas de los personajes que conducen a esa búsqueda de la verdad. Mediante la narratología y la hermenéutica se describen los recursos literarios, en un diálogo con los conceptos de biopoder, biopolítica y anatomopolítica. En los resultados identifica que los protagonistas buscan la verdad en el discurso verbal; y el mecanismo para obtenerla es la dominación simbólica y física del cuerpo. La forma del texto es fragmentado y enumerado; de esto se concluye que esta exposición en retazos literarios sirve como una representación de la memoria, la cual es un camino a la verdad, pero uno frágil y ficticio.

Se evaluó el efecto de dos densidades de siembra (83,000 y 100,000 semillas/ha), sobre la producción de elotes y chilotes de cinco variedades nativas de maíz (Zea mays L.): Amarillo, Congo, Piquinitillo, Pujagua y Rocarina. El ensayo se desarrolló en las localidades de Matambú y Matambuguito, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Para la producción de elotes, no hubo diferencias significativas ni entre las densidades de siembra ni entre las localidades, pero sí se presentaron diferencias entre los maíces nativos; la variedad Amarillo obtuvo un mayor número de elotes (39.844/ha), con respecto a Congo y Piquinitillo (17.969-28.125/ha). Para la producción de chilotes, la densidad de siembra tampoco tuvo un efecto significativo, pero sí se hallaron diferencias entre las variedades; Pujagua produjo un mayor número de chilotes (14.688/ha), en comparación con la variedad Amarillo (5.625/ha). Además, Piquinitillo produjo chilotes con un peso significativamente superior (61,25 g), en comparación con Congo, Pujagua y Amarillo (26,75-37,25 g). El rendimiento de chilotes fue significativamente superior para la variedad Rocarina (654,30 kg/ha), en comparación con las variedades Congo y Amarillo (148,60-195,32 kg/ha). No hubo diferencias significativas en el número total de inflorescencias femeninas inmaduras (elotes + chilotes), ni entre las densidades de siembra ni entre las variedades. El mayor ingreso estimado por la venta de elotes y chilotes se obtuvo con las variedades Amarillo, Pujagua y Rocarina (8,22-8,57 millones de colones/ha), y el menor valor se halló con la variedad Congo (4,25 millones de colones/ha). Este es el primer informe publicado sobre el efecto de la densidad de siembra en la producción de elotes y chilotes, en variedades nativas de maíz de Costa Rica.
