The Risk Transfer among Exchange Rates, Energy Commodities, and Agricultural Commodity Prices in SADC Countries
Authors: Vuba Nonelelo , Qabhobho Thobekile 
Published: March 2024

This paper investigates the risk transfer between exchange rates, energy commodities, and agricultural commodity prices in SADC nations from July 29, 2007, to December 18, 2022. The Time-varying parameter Vector Autoregression connectivity technique is specifically used. The total connectivity index for the specific network of energy commodities, currency rates, and agricultural commodities is 24.39%. The energy commodities index (crude oil and heating oil) and the ZAR were the largest shock transmitters, according to averaged dynamic connectedness. In contrast, two SADC currency markets (MWK and MZN), natural gas, and corn were net shock recipients. Furthermore, overall connection indices were shown to change dramatically with high sensitivity to crisis events, particularly the 2007/2008 crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. As indicated by net directional connection, most energy commodities, as well as the Rand and the Pula, were persistent net transmitters over time. This is especially noteworthy given oil's direct impact on agricultural commodities. The findings of this paper are useful for policymakers who are attempting to maximize public benefit. Policymakers charged with developing policies for economically vulnerable segments of the population should use these findings to examine the potential impact of changes in energy prices on food and currency markets.

Published: March 2024

Indicators directly related to the economies of oil−exporting countries, and especially the socio−economic well−being of the population, depend on the resource potential and prices for resources of these countries. The income of the population, their average monthly salary, the average amount of monthly pensions, the average amount of old−age pensions, the average amount of disability pensions, the amount of pensions for the loss of the head of the family form the basis of the state of financial well−being. Taking them as a basis, we completed the goal of our research by constructing models that determine the dependence of the main indicators of the socio−economic and, of course, material well−being of the population of Azerbaijan on world oil prices. The study covers the years 1997−2022. The and models are adapted to determine long−term and short−term levels of these indicators, taking into account world oil prices. According to the results, a high level of co−integration relationship with world oil prices and socio−economic indicators of the population is noted. This has also been proven in the short term. Thus, the alternative , , , and models used to validate these results further demonstrated the importance of these interactions. Moreover, the study also conducted a combined Bayer−Hank co−integration test. But the results turned out to be somewhat different. The results of this study can be taken into account to one degree or another in the socio−economic policy of the state in Azerbaijan.

Published: March 2024

In sentiment analysis, emotions refer to the subjective feelings expressed in a text or speech that can be classified as positive, negative or neutral. Emotions are an important aspect of sentiment analysis because they provide insights into the attitudes, opinions and behaviors of individuals toward a particular topic or entity. The emergence of digital humanities has allowed for a more computational approach to understanding emotions in literature. The passage provides an overview of existing research in this area and understanding the emotionality involved in text. Throughout this survey, it has been demonstrated that sentiment and emotion analysis is increasingly attracting attention within the field of digital humanities, particularly in computational literary studies.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of athletic directors at high school sporting events during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four hundred twelve (412) high school athletic directors were surveyed and 112 responded. Participants responded to demographic items, and a qualitative, open-ended prompt to elicit detailed experiences, emotional responses, and perceptions of sporting events during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a grounded theory approach, the following themes emerged: a strong desire for in-person attendance at sporting events, community responses that challenged health and safety of spectators and athletes, and the necessity for COVID-19 related changes such as digital ticketing virtual spectating opportunities. The study illuminates the necessity for flexibility and innovation during a crisis, in ways that are relevant to school leaders entrusted to foster a positive environment at athletic events. Some level of demand for virtual spectating experiences is likely to continue or increase in the future for post-pandemic sporting events. Further research can identify exemplary practices, and those exemplars can serve as a model for other schools and athletic directors.

Published: March 2024

Summary: Sport social workers operate across all sport systems and settings, from youth recreation to professional athletics. Due to the diversity of ways in which social work practice intersects with sport, the specialization of sport social work remains nebulous. To begin to disentangle this ambiguity, the current exploratory study sough to better understand the unique perspectives and lived experiences sport social workers who: (1) use sport to promote healthy development and holistic wellbeing, and (2) provide services to those involved in sport to promote healthy development and holistic wellbeing. Following the recommendations of Braun et al. (2021)—who positioned the online survey as a qualitative research tool—a 29-item online questionnaire was administered to the Alliance of Social Workers in Sport email listserv. In total, 84 participants engaged in the survey.
Findings: Findings highlight unique opportunities for sport social workers (e.g., teach life skills; engage in interprofessional collaborations), benefits of having sport social workers (e.g., enhance treatment, social work values), and barriers that sport social workers face (e.g., lack of education, sport culture).
Applications: The ability to better understand the ways in which social workers operate at the intersection of social work and sport is a critical next step in advancing the profession, as well as the unique area of sport social work practice.

Introduction to Special Issue: Placemaking Beyond Cities.
Authors: Braunerhielm Lotta , Grip Lena , Ljungberg Emilia , Ryan Bengtsson Linda 
Published: March 2024

This special issue of Culture Unbound directs attention beyond cities, to small towns and rural communities, and the practices taking place there. Referring to a previous special issue on ‘Rural Media Spaces’ from 2010, this special issue revisits the notion of ‘the rural’ versus ‘the urban’ through the concept of placemaking and geomedia. In a mediatized society, placemaking practices cannot be understood without simultaneously understanding different media practices and how they affect place. A geomedia perspective on placemaking beyond cities, therefore, brings new perspectives on media representations of small towns and rural communities, related to the materialization of space and how we engage with and perceive the world. Geomedia also includes a focus on layers of digitalization and new media in the relations between place and practice.
The issue brings together researchers from a wide range of subjects, and the articles in this volume address empirical examples from different rural places and small towns in Sweden and internationally. Taken together, a manifold of issues relating to media and placemaking beyond cities are covered, for example, inclusion/exclusion, representation, resistance, community building, belonging, and identification.
Multi-omics analysis of TLCD1 as a promising biomarker in pan-cancer
Authors: Wang Shengli , Zhang Mingyue , Sun Hongyan , Li Tao , Hao Jianlei , Fang Meixia , Dong Jie , Xu Hongbiao 
Published: March 2024

Background: The TLC Domain Containing 1 (TLCD1) protein, a key regulator of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) composition, is distributed across several cellular membranes, including mitochondrial plasma membranes. Existing research has revealed the impact of TLCD1 on the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, there remains a gap in comprehensive pan-cancer analyses of TLCD1, and the precise role of TLCD1 in cancer patient prognosis and immunological responses remains elusive. This study aims to provide a comprehensive visualization of the prognostic landscape associated with TLCD1 across a spectrum of cancers, while shedding light on the potential links between TLCD1 expression within the tumor microenvironment and immune infiltration characteristics.Methods: TLCD1 expression data were obtained from GTEx, TCGA, and HPA data repositories. Multiple databases including TIMER, HPA, TISIDB, cBioPortal, GEPIA2, STRING, KEGG, GO, and CancerSEA were used to investigate the expression pattern, diagnostic and prognostic significance, mutation status, functional analysis, and functional status of TLCD1. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between TLCD1 expression and immune infiltration, tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability (MSI), and immune-related genes in pan-cancer. Furthermore, the association of TLCD1 with drug sensitivity was analyzed using the CellMiner database.Results: We found that TLCD1 is generally highly expressed in pan-cancers and is significantly associated with the staging and prognosis of various cancers. Furthermore, our results also showed that TLCD1 was significantly associated with immune cell infiltration and immune regulatory factor expression. Using CellMiner database analysis, we then found a strong correlation between TLCD1 expression and sensitivity to anticancer drugs, indicating its potential as a therapeutic target. The most exciting finding is that high TLCD1 expression is associated with worse survival and prognosis in GBM and SKCM patients receiving anti-PD1 therapy. These findings highlight the potential of TLCD1 as a predictive biomarker for response to immunotherapy.Conclusion: TLCD1 plays a role in the regulation of immune infiltration and affects the prognosis of patients with various cancers. It serves as both a prognostic and immunologic biomarker in human cancer.

IntroductionThe incidence of biliary system diseases has been continuously increasing in the past decade. Biliary system diseases bring a heavy burden to humanity and society. However, the specific etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. The biliary system, as a bridge between the liver and intestine, plays an indispensable role in maintaining the physiological metabolism of the body. Therefore, prevention and treatment of biliary diseases are crucial. It is worth noting that the microorganisms participate in the lipid metabolism of the bile duct, especially the largest proportion of intestinal bacteria.MethodsWe systematically reviewed the intestinal microbiota in patients with gallstones (GS), non-calculous biliary inflammatory, and biliary tract cancer (BTC). And searched Pubmed, Embase and Web of science for research studies published up to November 2023.ResultsWe found that the abundance of Faecalibacterium genus is decreased in GS, primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and BTC. Veillonella, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus and Enterococcus genus were significantly increased in PSC, PBC and BTC. Interestingly, we found that the relative abundance of Clostridium was generally reduced in GS, PBC and BTC. However, Clostridium was generally increased in PSC.DiscussionThe existing research mostly focuses on exploring the mechanisms of bacteria targeting a single disease. Lacking comparison of multiple diseases and changes in bacteria during the disease process. We hope to provide biomarkers forearly diagnosis of biliary system diseases and provide new directions for the mechanism of intestinal microbiota in biliary diseases.
Case Report: Comprehensive evaluation of ECG phenotypes and genotypes in a family with Brugada syndrome carrying SCN5A-R376H

Published: March 2024

BackgroundBrugada syndrome (BrS) is a channelopathy that can lead to sudden cardiac death in the absence of structural heart disease. Patients with BrS can be asymptomatic or present with symptoms secondary to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Even though BrS can exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance, it is not easy to identify the phenotype and genotype in a family thoroughly.CaseWe report the case of a 20-year-old man with variants in SCN5A and RyR2 genes who was resuscitated from sudden cardiac death during sleep due to a ventricular fibrillation. The patient did not have underlying diseases. The routine laboratory results, imaging study, coronary angiogram, and echocardiogram (ECG) were normal. A type 1 BrS pattern was identified in one resting ECG. Furthermore, prominent J wave accentuation with PR interval prolongation was identified during therapeutic hypothermia. Therefore, we were easily able to diagnose BrS. For secondary prevention, the patient underwent implantable cardioverter defibrillator implantation. Before discharge, a genetic study was performed using next-generation sequencing. Genotyping was performed in the first-degree relatives, and ECG evaluations of almost all maternal and paternal family members were conducted. The proband and his mother showed SCN5A-R376H and RyR2-D4038Y variants. However, his mother did not show the BrS phenotype on an ECG. One maternal aunt and uncle showed BrS phenotypes.ConclusionGenetics alone cannotdiagnose BrS. However, genetics could supply evidence or direction for evaluating ECG phenotypes in family groups. This case report shows how family evaluation using ECGs along with a genetic study can be used in BrS diagnosis.
