Published: April 2024

Introduction
The objective of this study was to utilize the data generated by the City of Toronto, Street Needs Assessment conducted in 2021 to explore the prevalence, causes, experiences, and characteristics of 2-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (2SLGBTQ+) individuals experiencing homelessness in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Methods
Data was collected by the City of Toronto during its Street Needs Assessment in April 2021. The Street Needs Assessment is a needs assessment survey and Point-in-Time count of people experiencing homelessness across the city of Toronto. Homelessness included any individual who was sleeping outdoors or staying in City-administered emergency/transitional shelters and shelter motels/hotels on the night of data collection. The Street Needs Assessment survey was administered to clients by trained shelter and outreach staff using a computer or mobile device. To ensure that survey questions were 2SLGBTQ+ inclusive, questions on sexual orientation, gender identity, and 2SLGBTQ+ identity were included in the survey.

Results
Two hundred and eighty-eight 2SLGBTQ+ individuals completed the survey. Compared to non-2SLGBTQ+ individuals experiencing homelessness, 2SLGBTQ+ respondents were younger at the time of survey completion and when they first experienced homelessness, were more likely to have been in foster care or a group home, reported higher rates of conflict with and/or abuse by a parent/guardian as their main pathway into homelessness, and were more likely to experience chronic homelessness.

Conclusion
Our study results demonstrate that Street Needs Assessments and Point-in-Time counts can be used to examine homelessness in marginalized populations, including 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and that sexual orientation and gender identity questions need to be included on future government surveys. The consistency of findings from this study and previous research suggests that 2SLGBTQ+ individuals experience a significant need for population-based housing and social support services aimed at meeting the needs of 2SLGBTQ+ populations.

Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1 (APS 1) is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the autoimmune regulator AIRE gene. The diagnosis is usually based on the combination of at least two components of the classic triad: mucocutaneous candidiasis, hypoparathyroidism, and primary adrenal insufficiency. Other autoimmune disorders, including thyroid diseases, also occur and may manifest before the primary components. The disease is more likely to manifest during infancy, but some components may develop in adult patients. As the components of the syndrome do not occur simultaneously, verification of the diagnosis is often delayed. A significant challenge in the management of patients with APS 1 is the selection of optimal drug doses due to polypragmasy and the frequent presence of autoimmune disorders and/or candidiasis of the gastrointestinal tract. We present a clinical case of a patient with an atypical course of APS 1, in whom the first endocrine components (hypoparathyroidism and hypothyroidism) were diagnosed in adulthood. This case highlights the phenotypic diversity of APS 1, and the difficulties in selecting therapy when several autoimmune endocrine diseases are combined.

Published: April 2024

This study analyzes the influence of external and internal factors on the goodwill impairment of Russian IT-companies. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that in recent years large Russian companies have been diversifying their sources of income by switching to business ecosystems. This approach implies numerous mergers and takeovers with companies in different industries, which often form additional goodwill of the parent company. The impairment of goodwill, in turn, directly affects the further valuation of such firms and their investment attractiveness. This article discusses the facts of goodwill impairment in the largest players of the Russian IT market that implement their own cross-industry ecosystems: Yandex and VK.Group. The research methods are the analysis of relevant literature and financial statements of the companies, together with analytical methods of indicator estimation. As part of the research result, it is expected to identify common triggers that have an impact on goodwill impairment in the IT-industry in Russia.
The Role of Judges in Selecting Efficient Norms in a Common Law System: A Law and Economics Perspective
Authors: Padre Diogo Augusto Vidal , Rêgo Leandro Chaves 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This study delves into the common law efficiency theory, proposing that the efficiency of legal norms in common law systems predominantly depends on judges’ biases towards efficiency. By developing an economic model, it is demonstrated that the proportion of efficient norms correlates with the predisposition of judges towards efficiency, influenced by their personal beliefs. Historical analysis of common and civil law systems reveals that neither inherently guarantees efficiency; rather, their efficiency is contingent upon their adaptability to societal needs and prevailing judicial ideologies. The paper concludes that the efficiency of a legal system relies on its congruence with societal values and judicial ideologies, emphasizing that shifts in the judiciary’s ideological makeup have implications on legal system efficiency. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted process shaping legal norms in common law, highlighting the critical role of judges, societal values, and legislative dynamics.

Abstract
In this paper, we define and study three novel summability concepts – strong deferred 𝜎-summability, deferred 𝜎-statistical summability, and 𝜎-statistical summability in intuitionistic fuzzy 𝑟-normed linear spaces (briefly called IF-𝑟-NLS) by using 𝜎-mean.
We also provide an example in support of the new notions and uncover some interesting relationships.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This study attempts to quantify various macroeconomic variables’ influences on environmental quality. Being significantly negative in character, the impacts of economic growth (EG), energy consumption (EC) levels, financial development (FD) tools, changes in institutional qualities (IQUs), and globalization (GLO) on environmental degradation are regarded worthy of research. The dynamic panel model reports robust results using quantile regression and generalized moment method approaches. Renewable EC, GLO, and IQU significantly reduce the negative impacts on the natural environment across all quantiles. In contrast, electricity consumption has a significant deleterious impact across all quantiles, except at the 95% level, where the impact is not detrimental. EG and FD produce significantly positive injurious effects on the environment across all quantiles. Our findings reveal that callous indifference to global environmental degradation should not be tolerated for economic and ethical reasons, and it falls on the OECD countries to show leadership and take the initiative. OECD countries can mitigate environmental degradation by sharing knowledge and experience of balancing growth to promote sustainable development and responsible consumption globally.
Finnish reported speech and Swedish intratextual translations in 17th-century court records
Authors: Blomqvist Oliver 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This paper studies on multilingual administrative writing in Sweden during the early modern era of emerging national language ideology within the domain of court writing. The source material for this study consists of lower-court records from Finnish-speaking areas of the Swedish realm c. 1620–1700. The court system in Sweden was reformed in 1614 with the establishment of appellate courts that scrutinized the sentences passed by lower courts. Court records were written in Swedish, the official language of administrative writing of the period, but certain segments, notably represented speech, could be rendered in Finnish. This required textual mediation between the prescribed Swedish language of the court protocol, and the non-standard spoken Finnish in the courtrooms. The aim is to examine the embedding strategies, retention patterns, and textual mediation in the multilingual writing of 17th-century Finnish court scribes. The results show that Finnish is retained for especially pertinent or untranslatable witness statements. At the end of the 17th century, the use of parallel Swedish translations and clarifications to Finnish items increased. It is argued that this increase is due to the imposition of autocracy in 1680 and a concomitant push towards monolingual Swedish uniformity within the entire realm.

Cloud computing-based framework for heart disease classification using quantum machine learning approach
Authors: Enad Huda Ghazi , Mohammed Mazin Abed 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
Accurate early identification and treatment of cardiovascular diseases can prevent heart failure problems and reduce mortality rates. This study aims to use quantum learning to predict heart problems to increase the accuracy of traditional prediction and classification methods. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques need quantum learning to quickly and accurately analyze massive volumes of complex data. With quantum computing, the suggested DL and ML algorithms can change their predictions on the basis of changes in the dataset. This approach could help with the early and accurate detection of chronic diseases. The Cleveland heart disease dataset is undergoing preliminary processing to validate missing values to increase the precision rate and prevent incorrect forecasts. This study examined the feasibility of employing and deploying a quantum ML (QML) framework via cloud computing to categorize cardiac conditions. The research was divided into four sections. First, the principal component analysis was used to preprocess the Cleveland dataset, recursive feature elimination was used to select features, and min–max normalization was used to give the dataset a high-dimensional value. Second, we compared traditional classifiers, such as support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network, with the quantum approach to verify the quantum approach’s efficiency. Third, we examined two unique QML classification methods: quantum neural networks (QNNs) and quantum SVM (QSVM). Fourth, bagging-QSVM was developed and deployed as an ensemble learning model. Experimental results using the QNN show an accuracy of 77%, a precision of 76%, a recall of 73%, and an F1 score of 75%. With an accuracy of 85%, a precision of 79%, a recall of 90%, and an F1-score of 84%, the QSVM method demonstrated a much better performance than the QNN. Particularly, the Bagging_QSVM model exhibited an outstanding performance, with a flawless score of 100% across all critical performance measures. The study shows that the bagging method for ensemble learning is a solid way of increasing the accuracy of quantum method predictions.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Tungsten Inert Gas Welding of Inconel 625 Joints to Reduce Hot Cracking and Improve Microhardness: Optimization and Prediction Methods
Authors: Annamalai Dhilip , Nampoothiri Jayakrishnan 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This research article investigated the optimized process parameters for decreasing the hot cracking phenomenon and improving the microhardness of ultrasonic vibratory-assisted tungsten inert gas (U-TIG) welding of Inconel 625 alloy. The study employed two approaches: response surface methodology (RSM) and RSM coupled with a genetic algorithm (RSM-GA). The objective was to analyze the impact of welding process parameters, including welding current, gas flow rate, presence or absence of ultrasonic vibration, and filler material, on the crack length and microhardness of the welded joints. Experimental tests were conducted using RSM with a full factorial central composite design matrix, enabling comprehensive parameter space exploration. Parametric mathematical models were developed based on the obtained experimental data. These models were then utilized as fitness functions within the GA to determine the global optimal solution, aiming to minimize crack length and maximize microhardness. Additionally, artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed to predict the responses and optimize the welding process. The comparison between the experimental and predicted data demonstrated the reliability of the ANN model in accurately estimating the crack length and microhardness of U-TIG welded Inconel 625 alloy joints. The developed models achieved a prediction accuracy of less than 5 % error.

Published: April 2024

Background
Mönckeberg sclerosis is a form of calcification of the tunica media of small and medium size arteries. It occurs more often in the peripheral arteries of the lower limbs and it has been associated with diabetes and renal disease. Although there are a few reports of Mönckeberg sclerosis in thyroid vessels, there are no data regarding its significance in thyroid disease.

Objective
The aim was to investigate the possible prognostic value of Mönckeberg sclerosis in thyroid vessels of patients with diagnosed thyroid cancer.

Methods
We retrospectively studied patients with papillary thyroid cancer treated at the Theagenio Hospital of Thessaloniki from 2005 to 2021. The patients were divided into two groups based on the presence, or absence, of histopathological findings of Mönckeberg sclerosis in the thyroid vessels along with papillary thyroid cancer. Patient characteristics, histopathological details, personal history of thyroid disease, and metabolic parameters were compared between the two groups.

Results
Thirty-three patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and Mönckeberg sclerosis were identified and matched to 33 controls with papillary thyroid cancer, without evidence of Mönckeberg sclerosis. The metabolic profile of patients with Mönckeberg sclerosis was not significantly different from those who did not have Mönckeberg sclerosis. Moreover, the comparison between the two groups did not reveal any remarkable differences in terms of the aggressiveness of the disease.

Conclusion
The presence of Mönckeberg sclerosis does not seem to impact on histological characteristics of patients with papillary thyroid cancer.
Rethinking Love as Union: “As if our boundaries were melting...”
Authors: Losoncz Mark 
Published: April 2024

This article reconsiders one of the most important theories of romantic love in contemporary philosophy, the theory of love as union. Drawing on observations from transpersonal research, the article raises the question whether it is not worthwhile to accept, at least partially, a strong sense of union in the context of love. Thus the article takes a position that is not taken by anyone in contemporary philosophy. In this context, the article also briefly analyses one of the most important variants of love as union, a union with God. At the end, the suggestion is made that it makes more sense to talk about connections rather than relations in the case of fulfilled love.
Athens or Rome? A New Perspective on the Political Philosophy of H. Arendt
Authors: Čelutka Simas 
Published: April 2024

Hannah Arendt is widely known as a philosopher who attempted to rehabilitate the ancient Greek conception of politics. According to established readings of The Human Condition, Arendt is generally regarded as a ‘Graecophile’ whose thought is underwritten by ‘Athenian nostalgia’. Arendt’s sympathies for the Greeks are hard to deny: she did indeed turn to the Athenian understanding of politics in an attempt to crystallise in it the core elements of authentic politics. However, this interpretation is excessively one-sided. In Arendt’s view, the greatest contribution to the understanding of politics was offered by the Romans, not the Greeks. The Romans were much better at dealing with the problem of stability, continuity and order of politics. In Arendt’s view, an exclusive focus on action, spontaneity and extraordinary deeds threatens to destabilise the life of the political community. By introducing concepts such as tradition, authority, the sacredness of foundation, the law (lex), as well as the political significance of promise and forgiveness, the Romans opened up a dimension of political sedimentation which was alien to the Greeks. Political sedimentation provides safeguards, without which a sustainable political existence would become impossible.
Epistolary Dialogue between Zofia Kossak and Jan Dobraczyński. Forms of Address and Letter Signatures
Authors: Nowak Małgorzata , Truszkowski Artur 
Published: April 2024

The epistolary discourse between Zofia Kossak and Jan Dobraczyński, spanning from 1947–1968, proves the dynamic nature of their relationship. The study focuses on the forms of address and epistolary signatures in their correspondence. In addition to the opening and closing formulas, the forms of address attested in the epistolary corpus under analysis were also analysed. As formal exponents of the bond and of the signalled sender-receiver attitude, forms of address differed. Dobraczyński’s use of forms of address was fixed and conventional, with little variation in his signatures. Conversely, Kossak was more spontaneous in both respects. Her forms of address featured nominalised variants of conventional adjectives like dear and beloved, used singularly or in a syntagmatic series, and complemented by the addressee’s name in the main, diminutive or hypocoristic form. Some cases were colloquial and humorous phrases with the lexeme dad and chap/man. Still other forms included occasional, allusive lexemes, resultant from the subject matter of the letters. Beyond fulfilling the phatic function typical of such correspondence, these forms of address also served denotative and expressive purposes.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Test-to-stay concepts apply serial testing of children in daycare after exposure to SARS-CoV-2 without use of quarantine. This study aims to assess the safety of a test-to-stay screening in daycare facilities.

METHODS
714 daycare facilities and approximately 50 000 children ≤6 years in Cologne, Germany participated in a SARS-CoV-2 Pool-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening from March 2021 to April 2022. The screening initially comprised post-exposure quarantine and was adapted to a test-to-stay approach during its course. To assess safety of the test-to-stay approach, we explored potential changes in frequencies of infections among children after the adaptation to the test-to-stay approach by applying regression discontinuity in time (RDiT) analyses. To this end, PCR-test data were linked with routinely collected data on reported infections in children and analyzed using ordinary least squares regressions.

RESULTS
219 885 Pool-PCRs and 352 305 Single-PCRs were performed. 6440 (2.93%) Pool-PCRs tested positive, and 17 208 infections in children were reported. We estimated that during a period of 30 weeks, the test-to-stay concept avoided between 7 and 20 days of quarantine per eligible daycare child. RDiT revealed a 26% reduction (Exp. Coef: 0.74, confidence interval 0.52–1.06) in infection frequency among children and indicated no significant increase attributable to the test-to-stay approach. This result was not sensitive to adjustments for 7-day incidence, season, SARS-CoV-2 variant, and socioeconomic status.

CONCLUSIONS
Our analyses provide evidence that suggest safety of the test-to-stay approach compared with quarantine measures. This approach offers a promising option to avoid use of quarantine after exposure to respiratory pathogens in daycare settings.
