Authors: Arslan HE , Zeren S , Yildirim AC , Ekici MF , Arik O , Algin MC 
Published: March 2024

Background The most important factors affecting the development of postoperative hypocalcaemia (PH) include intraoperative trauma to the parathyroid glands, incidental parathyroidectomy (IP), and the surgeon's experience. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of IP, evaluate its effect on postoperative calcium levels and investigate the effect of surgeon experience and volume on IP incidence and postoperative calcium levels. Methods This retrospective study included 645 patients who underwent thyroid surgery at the Department of General Surgery, Kütahya Health Sciences University between September 2016 and March 2020. All patients underwent surgery at a single clinic by general surgeons experienced in thyroid surgery and their residents (3–5 years). Results Normal parathyroid glands were reported in 58 (8.9%) of 645 patients. In 5 (8.6%) of 58 patients the parathyroid gland was detected in the intrathyroidal region. PH developed in ten patients (17.2%) with incidental removal of the parathyroid glands. A statistically significant difference was found between the number of incidentally removed parathyroid glands and the development of hypocalcaemia (p<0.05). Normal parathyroid glands were reported in the pathology of 37 (7.9%) patients operated on by general surgeons and 22 (12.6%) patients operated on by their residents. PH developed in 39 (8.2%) patients operated on by general surgeons and in 8 (4.5%) patients operated on by their residents. Conclusions We found that the complication rate during the resident training process was the same as that of experienced general surgeons. A thyroidectomy can be safely performed by senior residents during residential training.
La monosemia nel lessico di alta frequenza: un’indagine sull’italiano
Authors: Casadei Federica 
Published: March 2024

It has long been known in statistical linguistics that there is a strong correlation between the frequency of a word and its polysemy, i. e. that more frequent words tend to have more meanings. There are, however, also high-frequency words that are monosemous. The aim of this work is to investigate how many and which monosemous words are found in the Italian high-frequency lexicon, i. e. in the about 7,700 words that constitute the basic vocabulary (Nuovo Vocabolario di Base, NVdB). Confirming the relationship between frequency and polysemy, only 8% of the words in the NVdB are monosemous according to the main Italian dictionary, and a subsequent check in other dictionaries and in corpora further reduces the amount of monosemous words to less than 6%. A semantic analysis shows that the majority of them are technical or technical-like words with a very specific and referentially restricted meaning. (e. g. elettrone, stendibiancheria); but there are also words with a generic meaning (funzionamento), and non-referential words such as grammatical words (sebbene) or interjections (boh). These three classes of words could be considered more or less central cases of monosemy, adopting a prototype definition of this notion.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundCommercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices have become increasingly available over the last decade. These devices have been used in a wide variety of fields ranging from engineering to cognitive neuroscience.PurposeThe aim of this study was to chart peer-review articles that used consumer-grade EEG devices to collect neural data. We provide an overview of the research conducted with these relatively more affordable and user-friendly devices. We also inform future research by exploring the current and potential scope of consumer-grade EEG.MethodsWe followed a five-stage methodological framework for a scoping review that included a systematic search using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. We searched the following online databases: PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and IEEE Xplore. We charted study data according to application (BCI, experimental research, validation, signal processing, and clinical) and location of use as indexed by the first author’s country.ResultsWe identified 916 studies that used data recorded with consumer-grade EEG: 531 were reported in journal articles and 385 in conference papers. Emotiv devices were used most, followed by the NeuroSky MindWave, OpenBCI, interaXon Muse, and MyndPlay Mindband. The most common usage was for brain-computer interfaces, followed by experimental research, signal processing, validation, and clinical purposes.ConclusionsConsumer-grade EEG is a useful tool for neuroscientific research and will likely continue to be used well into the future. Our study provides a comprehensive review of their application, as well as future directions for researchers who plan to use these devices.
Exploring the experiences of wellbeing, health, and healthcare among women who have been domestically sex trafficked in Ontario, Canada: A qualitative study protocol
Authors: Bruder Rhonelle , Mason Robin , Williams Charmaine C. , Du Mont Janice 
Published: March 2024

Introduction
Although there is a growing body of evidence to suggest that persons who have been sex trafficked can suffer devastating health consequences and often face challenges accessing suitable care that addresses their health and overall well-being, little existing research has adopted a survivor-informed approach. Centering the voices of sex-trafficked women in this research will provide valuable insights into their health-related experiences and can help lay the foundation for survivor-centric healthcare responses.

Methods and analysis
Using a semi-structured interview guide, we will interview women who have been domestically sex trafficked in Ontario; recruitment will continue until data saturation is reached. Interview questions and prompts will elicit information about women’s experiences prior to, during, and after their trafficking ordeal, with particular attention paid to their encounters with healthcare providers. Intersectionality theory will inform strategies for recruitment, data collection, and data analysis. Data will be analyzed deductively as well as inductively using Braun and Clarke’s six phases of reflexive thematic analysis. The study’s design was informed by the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ), which ensures a comprehensive and robust reporting of interview data. We will continue to adhere to the COREQ checklist throughout the data collection, analysis, and findings write-up phases, helping to ensure methodological accuracy and transparency.

Discussion
To our knowledge, this will be the first Canada-specific investigation to apply intersectionality theory to explore the experiences of well-being, health, and healthcare from the perspectives of women who have been domestically sex trafficked. The results of this study hold the potential to improve responses to trafficking within the healthcare sector. Specifically, the findings could be used to inform the development of education materials and curricula for medical students and continuing professional education for health and allied healthcare providers. They could also inform the creation of patient experience surveys and intake forms for sex trafficked patients.
The Stoic Distinction between Syllogisms and Subsyllogisms
Authors: Ruge Fabian 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This paper aims to explain the distinction between syllogisms and subsyllogisms in Stoic logic. Subsyllogisms replace at least one premise in a syllogism with a premise that is, according to Galen and Alexander, equipollent to the respective syllogistic premise. This equipollence is not synonymy of meaning between two linguistic expressions, but obtains between two propositions when they are true or false by the same standard. Subsyllogistic premises are simple propositions that are equipollent to the non-simple premises of the respective syllogisms. For subsyllogistic premises that replace syllogistic premises consist of predicates combining with cases rather than of connectives or negations governing propositions. Because of this difference in their premises, subsyllogisms have a different logical form than syllogisms and are not formally valid.
Well, maybe you shouldn’t go around shaving poodles: collostructional semantic and discursive prosody in the go (a)round Ving and go (a)round and V constructions
Authors: Jensen Kim Ebensgaard 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This article presents a corpus-based study of the go (a)round Ving- and go (a)round and V-constructions in American English. More specifically, it addresses the possibility of the constructions serving as pragmatic markers of stance through the collocational phenomenon of semantic prosody. It is argued that the notions of internal and external constructional properties from the early days of construction grammar as well as the corpus-linguistic idea of association patterns would be beneficial to usage-based construction grammatical descriptions of phenomena such as semantic prosody. Drawing on a 248,145,425-word portion of the Corpus of Contemporary American English, both simple collexeme analysis and distinctive collexeme analysis are applied to generate output that feeds into semantic-prosodic analysis. Moreover, standard distinctive collexeme analysis and multiple distinctive collexeme analysis are applied at the level of semantic prosodies in the collexemic fields (i.e., distinctive semantic-prosodic analysis), at the level of verbal category colligations (i.e., distinctive colligational analysis), and at the level of speech act functions of usage-events of the two constructions (i.e., distinctive speech act analysis) as a type of trial balloon. The purpose is to expand semantic-prosodic analysis from focusing merely on lexemes to exploring how other linguistic and pragmatic phenomena may be at play.
The Entrepreneurial Intention-Action Relationships among Young Entrepreneurs: A Taxonomy-Based Perspective
Authors: Alshibani Safiya Mukhtar , Bukhari Atiya , Ramadani Veland , Hughes Mathew (Mat) 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Although entrepreneurial intentions have been widely studied, however, the relationship between intention and action is an understudied area, especially in the Middle East/North African (MENA) region. This paper investigates the antecedents of the intention-action relationships based on the doer, procrastinator, dreamer, and abstainer taxonomy of student entrepreneurs. In this paper, a sample (N = 12,947) from seven countries from the MENA region, and a multinomial logistic regression modelling. Findings show that university contextual factors play a significant role in the likelihood of students actively starting their own business, or just procrastinating and dreaming about it. More specifically, entrepreneurial-oriented learning programs reduce the probability of students completely abstaining from choosing entrepreneurship as a career. Past research primarily has utilized a singular intention framework (an “all-or-nothing” decision), without reflecting the stepwise commitment of the entrepreneurial process.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Within the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of haematopoietic neoplasms, particularly its fifth version from 2022 (WHO-HAEM5), myeloid neoplasms are not only grouped into myeloproliferative (MPN) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS). There is also a group of haematological disorders that share features of both categories termed myelodysplastic /myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN). In this article, we aim to provide a comprehensive and practical guide to WHO-HAEM5 highlighting the genetic alterations that underlie MPN and MDS/MPN. This guide provides an overview of the overlapping commonalities among these entities, as well as their unique characteristics.
Calibration-free approaches for quantitative analysis of a brass sample
Authors: Gupta Vikas , Rai Abhishekh Kumar , Kumar Tejmani , Tarai Akash Kumar , Kumar Gundawar Manoj , Rai A. K. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF-LIBS) is successfully employed to determine the chemical composition of brass samples using the LIBS technique. The sample is irradiated with a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser with a pulse width of 5 ns to generate laser-induced plasma (LIP) on the sample surface. The time evolution spectra were recorded from the surface of the brass sample only with an accumulation of five laser shots to get one LIP spectrum. Time-resolved LIP spectra have been utilized to identify the most appropriate time window (where the plasma is optically thin and in local thermal equilibrium) suitable for CF-LIBS implementation. Stoichiometric ablation is also demonstrated for metallic brass samples with the aforementioned laser in the present study. To obtain definitive quantitative information from LIP, the characterization of the plasma, i.e., spectral line intensity, spectral line broadening, electron number density, and plasma temperature, has been analyzed in this paper. Based on two different CF-LIBS algorithms, the brass sample composition was determined and found to be in good agreement with the certified results. This paper also compares and contrasts both strategies, as well as discusses their place and importance. The results of the present manuscript illustrate the potential applicability of CF-LIBS for yielding precise and accurate compositions of brass.

m space group is confirmed by XRD analysis with trace amounts of hematite. The results of XRD and FTIR confirm the formation of spinel structure. The estimated average crystallite size ranges from 35 to 59 nm by different methods. The FESEM analysis revealed that the samples have a generally porous aspect. Particle size analysis indicates that the average particle size is approximately 150 nm. Covalent bond exists between the tetrahedral A site – oxygen atom (A–O) and ionic nature exists between the octahedral B site – oxygen atom (B–O) in the two sub lattices of the ferrite unit cell, as determined by the maximum entropy method. Mg0.5Ni0.3Zn0.2Fe2O4 demonstrates high A–O covalency and B–O covalency/ionic boundary based on MEM electron density analysis.
Analysis of microstrip low pass filter at terahertz frequency range in finite difference time domain method for radar applications
Authors: Lavanya K. S. , Vijayalakshmi N. , Preethi S. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Terahertz Technology is a promising newer technology for various applications in wireless and radar communication namely tracking and detecting radar targets. The challenging aspect of radar transmitters in the target detection process is spurious harmonic signals that affect the communication path between radar transceivers. The spurious signal can be neglected by a strong filtering method. Filtering is vital in radar transmission to avoid high spurious emission level signals. Low pass filtering at terahertz frequency range (LPFT) in microstrip structure defined in the chapter analysis to avoid the harmonics above the cut-off frequency. In this chapter, the analysis part of microstrip structured LPFT is implemented under finite difference time domain analysis at (0.3 THz to 0.5 THz) cut-off frequency. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) is the three-dimensional approach commonly used for the analysis in higher frequency applications. In this FDTD method, Maxwell equation’s partial derivatives are centred to finite frequency by discretization. LPFT 3D-plot is characterized by the signal factors of the input signal, reflected signal, and passed signal concerning time. Scattering parameters |s11| and |s21| are characterized by frequency and magnitude plots with an insertion loss of 0.3 dB. Full-wave analysis of LPFT is compared with Chebyshev and Butterworth filter at terahertz cut-off range is implemented. The comparison plot of attenuation versus relative frequency and characteristic impedance versus dielectric constant is shown with FDTD results with good agreement.
ПОТЕНЦІАЛ ДИСТАНЦІЙНИХ МОДЕЛЕЙ ЗАЙНЯТОСТІ ПІД ЧАС КРИЗ НЕСТАБІЛЬНОСТІ

Published: March 2024

Розглянуто особливості використання нестандартних моделей зайнятості, що розвиваються на базі ІКТ, зокрема дистанційної роботи. Підкреслено, що ті, хто працюють віддалено, завдяки використанню нових інформаційних технологій з доступом до Інтернету можуть виконувати робочі обов’язки в будь-якому місці, що дозволяє зменшити соціальні ризики. Зайнятих, відповідно до їхніх посадових обов’язків і робочих функцій, умовно поділено на три групи: 1) ті, хто зазвичай працюють дистанційно вдома чи в будь-якому іншому місці, 2) ті, хто інколи виконують роботу дистанційно, 3) ті, хто ніколи не працюють віддалено.
Проаналізовано динаміку у країнах ЄС частки зайнятих осіб, які зазвичай працювали вдома, досліджено їхній розподіл у різних країнах Європи за означеними групами. Для України оцінено потенціал дистанційної зайнятості на основі статистичної інформації щодо кількості працівників на підприємствах, які використовували комп’ютери з доступом до Інтернету. Проведено аналітичну оцінку можливостей оснащення новими технологіями і ефективності їх використання на великих, середніх і малих підприємствах України.
Визначено зв’язок дистанційної зайнятості й ефективності праці на основі результатів економічних досліджень і соціологічних опитувань, проведених як в Україні, так і в інших країнах світу. Доведено, що для висококваліфікованих працівників зв’язок цієї форми зайнятості з продуктивністю є позитивним. Кризи нестабільності актуалізували питання адекватної адаптації національного ринку праці до функціонування в умовах невизначеності. Дистанційна зайнятість у цих умовах є інструментом, здатним підтримати соціальну безпеку під час криз і виступити потенціалом майбутнього розвитку національної економіки.
The relationship between digital development and economic growth in the European Union
Authors: Török László 
Published: March 2024

AbstractNumerous studies have proven that digital development positively affects economic growth. This study aims to confirm or refute the positive impact of digital evolution on economic growth by applying the dimensions of the International Digital Economy and Society Index (I-DESI). The analysis refers to the period 2015–2020 of the European Union member states. The study's novelty is that the I-DESI index has yet to be used in research to investigate the relationship between the digital transition and GDP production. The present study, therefore, goes one step further than the previous typical DESI-GDP models. The research uses Pearson correlation and F-statistic analysis to show the relationship between the variables. The study confirms that digital development has positively impacted the economic growth of EU member states. This result was confirmed by both Pearson and Spearman correlation. However, the results are ambivalent. The empirical results indicate that the more digitally developed member countries had a higher GDP per capita. However, the positive effect is different. The results confirm that the development of digitalization and GDP increased more dynamically in the more digitally developed EU member states than in the less developed member states. Therefore, an increase in the backwardness of the less developed member countries and not a catch-up can be observed in the period under review.
Republika Czeska wobec uchodźców z Ukrainy po 24 lutego 2022 roku
Authors: Koźbiał Krzysztof 
Published: March 2024

Republika Czeska była jednym z tych państw europejskiej, do którego po agresji rosyjskiej na Ukrainę z 24 lutego 2022 r. przybywali uchodźcy z Ukrainy. Byli oni już wcześniej obecni w Czechach, lecz pod koniec lutego 2022 r. można mówić już o masowym napływie.
Zarówno czeski rząd jak i czeskie społeczeństwo wykazały się solidarnością z narodem ukraińskim udzielając przybyszom szerokiej pomocy humanitarnej, dotyczącej m.in. środków pieniężnych czy związanej z zamieszkaniem. Napływający Ukraińcy okazali się również ważnym elementem czeskiego rynku pracy, zatrudnienie na nim (pod koniec października 2022 r.) znalazło ok. 100 tys. uchodźców. W wyniku konfliktu i napływu uchodźców do Czech na pozytywne zmieniło się nastawienie społeczeństwa czeskiego wobec Ukraińców.
W pracy nad tekstem posłużono się metodami badawczymi typowymi dla nauk o polityce i administracji: metodą analizy instytucjonalno-prawnej, analizą danych zastanych jak i metodą analizy historycznej.
Dychotomia działań Polski wobec imigrantów na granicach zewnętrznych Unii Europejskiej od 2021 roku
Authors: Moraczewska Anna 
Published: March 2024

Wschodnia granica Polski stanowiąca odcinki zewnętrznych granic Unii Europejskiej została w niemal podobnym okresie narażone na intensywny napływ imigrantów. Zjawiska te wynikały z innych przyczyn, a czynnikiem łączącym je był człowiek poszukujący bezpiecznego miejsca do życia. Od połowy 2021 r. granica polsko-białoruska została poddana zorganizowanemu napływowi imigrantów, chcących w sposób nielegalny przekroczyć granicę. Natomiast po ataku Rosji na Ukrainę granica polsko-ukraińska napotkała masowy napływ uciekinierów wojennych. Rząd Polski zastosowała dwie różne taktyki zarządzania sytuacjami na poszczególnych granicach wobec presji migracyjnej. Artykuł przedstawia te różnice i stara się wyjaśnić ich przyczynę.
How to Ensure Consistency of Territorial Planning Documents: Best Practices of Russian Urban Agglomerations
Authors: Lisina N. L. , Ushakova A. P. 
Published: March 2024

The paper is part of a series of scientific articles devoted to the best management practices for Russian urban agglomerations. The authors of the paper focused on finding possible solutions to the most pressing problems given the current legislation, which explains the widespread use of empirical information in the paper. One of the key tasks of management at the level of an urban agglomeration is the formation and consistent implementation of a unified urban planning policy within the entire agglomeration. It should be based on documents of territorial planning and rules of land use and development of all municipalities, as well as some other types of urban planning documentation. For the purposes of shaping a unified urban planning policy, the documents of all municipalities must be coordinated with each other and subordinated to common goals and objectives.Analyzing the cases of Vladivostok, Ekaterinburg and Novosibirsk urban agglomerations, the authors show some ways to ensure the consistency of urban planning documentation within the boundaries of the urban agglomeration. In order to identify the prerequisites for achieving the maximum effectiveness of each of them the authors compare the management practices used in these agglomerations. It is concluded that it is generally possible to achieve consistency of urban planning documentation within the framework of the current legislation, subject to the active position of the regional legislator.
