ABSTRAKPermintaan jagung di Indonesia terus meningkat tiap tahunnya, akan tetapi kondisi tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan peningkatan produktivitas jagung dalam negeri. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk memaksimalkan produktivitas tanaman jagung dengan memahami informasi mengenai karakteristik kimia tanah di lahan perkebunan jagung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan karakteristik kimia tanah produktivitas tanaman jagung. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada November 2022 – Maret 2023 di Kecamatan Cibugel, Kabupaten Sumedang dan Analisis laboratorium di lakukan di Laboratorium KTNT Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif, survei dan prediktif pada 18 sampel tanah. Wilayah pengambilan sampel tanah didapat dari uji analisis dan overlay dari satuan lahan berupa elevasi, kemiringan, iklim, dan area produksi jagung. Perkebunan jagung berada pada area dengan kemiringan 10°- 30° dan ketinggian berkisar di 600 – 1000 mdpl. Hasil analisis penelitian menggunakan metode korelasi karakteristik kimia tanah (KTK, C-organik, pH) dengan produktivitas tanaman jagung. Hasil korelasi menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang lemah antara karakteristik kimia dengan produktivitas tanaman jagung di Kecamatan Cibugel. Hasil uji analisi korelasi terhadap karakteristik kimia tanah menunjukan bahwa pH, C-organik dan KTK memiliki hubungan yang lemah terhadap produktivitas tanaman jagung dengan masing-masing nilai korelasi r = 0,26tn, r = 0,43tn, dan r =0,24tn.Kata Kunci: pH; KTK; C-Organik
Communication about rebranding: the case of Polish listed companies
Authors: Fijałkowska Justyna , Hadro Dominika , Mróz-Gorgoń Barbara , Krywalski Santiago Joanna 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: Rebranding is a crucial driver of modern marketing strategies that can only be successful if appropriately communicated to society. This research aims to explain which rebranding-related information companies disclose in their communication on this process using various information dissemination channels.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: To examine the content of 200 disclosures about rebranding, we used topic modelling, which identifies latent patterns of word co-occurrence using computer algorithms and the distribution of words in the analyzed corpus (set of documents). We applied an unsupervised Bayesian machine-learning approach for topic modelling called latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a cutting-edge method that is still not widely used by scholars.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: Rebranding pays out over the lifetime of a company, but society has to be appropriately informed of this decision. The information should be comprehensive, disclosed through multiple channels, and addressed to all stakeholders. However, the question is whether this theoretical knowledge finds its application in companies’ practice. We researched each rebranding case of all Polish companies listed on the WSE since 1991 and analyzed how they communicated their rebranding through diverse types information disclosure.
RESEARCH RESULTS: Polish companies are very selective, both in the content of information disclosed and the communication channels they use. They tend to avoid explaining the reasons for rebranding that are vital for society. Information is mainly disclosed through company websites or press releases and primarily has an informal character. They ignore official stock exchange communication channels, even though rebranding information could greatly influence financial performance and value creation.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Our findings implicate a need to increase listed companies’ awareness concerning the importance of communicating marketing strategy and its potential benefits in the creation of investor relations.
A multidisciplinary perspective on the knowledge economy and society
Authors: Małecka Joanna 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The skilful acquisition and use of available knowled­ge resources can be a factor in increasing the effectiveness of management processes. It directly influences the level and effectiveness of priorities. The aim of this article is a comparative study of the existing relevant literature with a multidisciplinary perspective on aspects of the knowledge economy and society.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The data presented in the article are based on a relevant literature review (both book and article publications) and provides a spectrum of comparisons of views, theories and publications from the fields of organisational forms, knowledge models and KM, as well as the social dimension of qualitative modelling theory.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The time of being the best is over. The era of being exceptional has begun. It is through the skills, knowledge and competences of employees as key elements influencing development that a competitive advantage can be secured. Knowledge is seen as a strategically important resource in this aspect.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The results provide a review of the achievements in individual fields, as well as selective task and function areas in the academic dimension. Particular attention was paid to the perception of the issue of qualitology (1970s). Models of knowledge management KM, social capital are juxtaposed, and the importance of the socio-economic influences observed in terms of the behaviour, expectations and choices of a modern society (often referred to as a consumer society) is highlighted.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Due to the relatively short period in which the described issues have functioned, any results and research attempts made in this area are interesting and valuable. Particularly cross-sectional works, which enable a clear compilation of the progress of individual theories against economic practice and the possibility of determining the future direction of their development.
Aristotle’s concept of zoon politikon: on political benefits of being not too perfect
Authors: Barwicka-Tylek Iwona 
Published: April 2024

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The article discusses the concept of zoon politikon in order to provide arguments justifying the attractiveness of Aristotle’s practical philosophy.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: There are three quasi-definitions of man in Aristotle’s works, each of which emphasises a different aspect of humanity. According to the philosopher, we are speaking animals, political animals (zoa politika) and the only animals endowed with reason. I argue that it is the condition of zoon politikon that comes to the fore as the most human of human properties. The article uses a historical-philosophical method supported by textual analysis.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: In the first part of the text, Aristotle’s term zoon politikon is analysed as a concept intended to show the superiority of humanity over animality. In the second part, it is presented as a limitation that distinguishes humans from gods. By analysing how these two perspectives overlap, it is then possible to discuss some political consequences of the tension between them.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis leads to the conclusion that, according to Aristotle, a good human is not someone who “exercises rationality to a high degree”, but above all someone who is political to a high degree. It also suggests that Aristotle’s concept can be used to distinguish between two kinds of politics, which should not be reduced to each other: “artificial” politics (which can be equated with power), and natural human politics (which is based on free individual action in the area of praxis).
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The notion of zoon politikon reflects the relational character of the individual human self, and thus offers a perspective that allows both methodological and political individualism to be challenged. It can also be a source of inspiration for those scholars, who argue that politics cannot be reduced to power.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Biobanks are significant research and reference infrastructures housing the collection of specimens and associated data for future research. Considering the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Macau Special Administrative Region government has determined the need to diversify its economy and set a target ratio that increases the high-tech, digitally integrated research industry contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP). Methods: An initial benchmarking survey containing 12 questions to discuss the potential establishment of a biobank in Macau was presented digitally by mobile platforms to over 100 local healthcare and scientific professionals to initiate discussion. The aim was to initiate discussion on biobanking practices while acknowledging security and health concerns, without compromising legal, social–ethical, and/or ethnic boundaries within the region. Results: Out of 47 respondents, 41 agreed that the establishment of a regional and digitally integrated biobank would benefit Macau by advancing its scientific research support. Reflecting an awareness that such infrastructure is crucial for facilitating research and offering developmental opportunity for Macau. Conclusions: In alignment with the direction expressed in China, the survey responses have initiated initial discussions regarding the creation and potential of a regional, digitally integrated biobank for biological samples and data, including additional information from future research projects. However, a more detailed feasibility study is warranted to address any inherent bias in responders, given the inclination towards digital-savvy individuals.

Tumors of the heart are rare entities characterized by the absence of specific signs and symptoms. A biopsy is necessary for verify the diagnosis and determine the most correct treatment tactics. Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a modern and relatively safe approach for biopsy of cardiac tumors. Usually this procedure performs under the control of fluoroscopy and echocardiography (intracardiac, transthoracic, transesophageal). However, this procedure is rarely used in patients with suspected cardiac malignancy.We present two clinical cases of endomyocardial biopsy of cardiac tumors by the endovascular approach under the control of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The biopsy was successful in both cases and pathological diagnosis was established.

BACKGROUND
Real-world data on tofacitinib (TOF) covering a period of more than 1 year for a sufficient number of Asian patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are scarce.
AIM
To investigate the long-term efficacy and safety of TOF treatment for UC, including clinical issues.
METHODS
We performed a retrospective single-center observational analysis of 111 UC patients administered TOF at Hyogo Medical University as a tertiary inflammatory bowel disease center. All consecutive UC patients who received TOF between May 2018 and February 2020 were enrolled. Patients were followed up until August 2020. The primary outcome was the clinical response rate at week 8. Secondary outcomes included clinical remission at week 8, cumulative persistence rate of TOF administration, colectomy-free survival, relapse after tapering of TOF and predictors of clinical response at week 8 and week 48.
RESULTS
The clinical response and remission rates were 66.3% and 50.5% at week 8, and 47.1% and 43.5% at week 48, respectively. The overall cumulative clinical remission rate was 61.7% at week 48 and history of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) agents use had no influence (P = 0.25). The cumulative TOF persistence rate at week 48 was significantly lower in patients without clinical remission than in those with remission at week 8 (30.9% vs 88.1%; P < 0.001). Baseline partial Mayo Score was significantly lower in responders vs non-responders at week 8 (odds ratio: 0.61, 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.82, P = 0.001). Relapse occurred in 45.7% of patients after TOF tapering, and 85.7% of patients responded within 4 wk after re-increase. All 6 patients with herpes zoster (HZ) developed the infection after achieving remission by TOF.
CONCLUSION
TOF was more effective in UC patients with mild activity at baseline and its efficacy was not affected by previous treatment with anti-TNF-α agents. Most relapsed patients responded again after re-increase of TOF and nearly half relapsed after tapering off TOF. Special attention is needed for tapering and HZ.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND
Liuweiwuling Tablet (LWWL) is a Chinese patent medicine approved for the treatment of chronic inflammation caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Previous studies have indicated an anti-HBV effect of LWWL, specifically in terms of antigen inhibition, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
AIM
To investigate the potential mechanism of action of LWWL against HBV.
METHODS
In vitro experiments utilized three HBV-replicating and three non-HBV-replicating cell lines. The in vivo experiment involved a hydrodynamic injection-mediated mouse model with HBV replication. Transcriptomics and metabolomics were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of action of LWWL.
RESULTS
In HepG2.1403F cells, LWWL (0.8 mg/mL) exhibited inhibitory effects on HBV DNA, hepatitis B surface antigen and pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) at rates of 51.36%, 24.74% and 50.74%, respectively. The inhibition rates of LWWL (0.8 mg/mL) on pgRNA/covalently closed circular DNA in HepG2.1403F, HepG2.2.15 and HepG2.A64 cells were 47.78%, 39.51% and 46.74%, respectively. Integration of transcriptomics and metabolomics showed that the anti-HBV effect of LWWL was primarily linked to pathways related to apoptosis (PI3K-AKT, CASP8-CASP3 and P53 pathways). Apoptosis flow analysis revealed that the apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group was significantly higher than in the control group (CG) among HBV-replicating cell lines, including HepG2.2.15 (2.92% ± 1.01% vs 6.68% ± 2.04%, P < 0.05), HepG2.A64 (4.89% ± 1.28% vs 8.52% ± 0.50%, P < 0.05) and HepG2.1403F (3.76% ± 1.40% vs 7.57% ± 1.35%, P < 0.05) (CG vs LWWL-treated group). However, there were no significant differences in apoptosis rates between the non-HBV-replicating HepG2 cells (5.04% ± 0.74% vs 5.51% ± 1.57%, P > 0.05), L02 cells (5.49% ± 0.80% vs 5.48% ± 1.01%, P > 0.05) and LX2 cells (6.29% ± 1.54% vs 6.29% ± 0.88%, P > 0.05). TUNEL staining revealed a significantly higher apoptosis rate in the LWWL-treated group than in the CG in the HBV-replicating mouse model, while no noticeable difference in apoptosis rates between the two groups was observed in the non-HBV-replicating mouse model.
CONCLUSION
Preliminary results suggest that LWWL exerts a potent inhibitory effect on wild-type and drug-resistant HBV, potentially involving selective regulation of apoptosis. These findings offer novel insights into the anti-HBV activities of LWWL and present a novel mechanism for the development of anti-HBV medications.
Valence without meaning: Investigating form and semantic components in pseudowords valence
Authors: Gatti Daniele , Raveling Laura , Petrenco Aliona , Günther Fritz 
Published: April 2024

AbstractValence is a dominant semantic dimension, and it is fundamentally linked to basic approach-avoidance behavior within a broad range of contexts. Previous studies have shown that it is possible to approximate the valence of existing words based on several surface-level and semantic components of the stimuli. Parallelly, recent studies have shown that even completely novel and (apparently) meaningless stimuli, like pseudowords, can be informative of meaning based on the information that they carry at the subword level. Here, we aimed to further extend this evidence by investigating whether humans can reliably assign valence to pseudowords and, additionally, to identify the factors explaining such valence judgments. In Experiment 1, we trained several models to predict valence judgments for existing words from their combined form and meaning information. Then, in Experiment 2 and Experiment 3, we extended the results by predicting participants’ valence judgments for pseudowords, using a set of models indexing different (possible) sources of valence and selected the best performing model in a completely data-driven procedure. Results showed that the model including basic surface-level (i.e., letters composing the pseudoword) and orthographic neighbors information performed best, thus tracing back pseudoword valence to these components. These findings support perspectives on the nonarbitrariness of language and provide insights regarding how humans process the valence of novel stimuli.
Revision of the GeV γ-Ray Emission in the Region of HESS J1813-178 with Fermi-LAT
Authors: Guo Xiaolei , Xin Yuliang 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
HESS J1813-178 is one of the brightest and most compact TeV γ-ray sources, and whether its γ-ray emission is associated with supernova remnant (SNR), pulsar wind nebula (PWN), or young stellar cluster (YSC) is still under debate. By analyzing the GeV γ-ray data in the field of HESS J1813-178 using 14 yr of PASS 8 data recorded by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT), we report the discovery of three different sources with different spectra in this region. The hard source with a PL spectral index of 2.11 ± 0.08 has a small size extension, which is spatially and spectrally coincident with the TeV γ-ray emission from HESS J1813-178. CO observations display the dense molecular clouds surrounding HESS J1813-178 in the velocity range of 45–60 km s−1. The possible origins of the γ-ray emission from HESS J1813-178 are discussed, including SNR G12.820.02, the PWN driven by the energetic X-ray pulsar PSR J1813-1749 and YSC Cl 1813-178. However, none of them can be ruled out clearly. Note that the maximum energy of protons in the hadronic model should exceed a few hundred TeV, which makes HESS J1813-178 a promising PeVatron. A detailed LHAASO data analysis about the morphology and spectrum would be helpful to investigate the origin of the γ-ray emission in this region and test its PeVatron nature.
Petrogenesis of Erg Chech 002 Achondrite and Implications for an Altered Magma Ocean

Published: April 2024

Abstract
This study conducts mineralogical and chemical investigations on the oldest achondrite, Erg Chech 002 (∼4565 million yr old). This meteorite exhibits a disequilibrium igneous texture characterized by high-Mg-number (atomic Mg/(Mg + Fe2+)) orthopyroxene xenocrysts (Mg number = 60–80) embedded in an andesitic groundmass. Our research reveals that these xenocrysts were early formed crystals, loosely accumulated or scattered in the short-period magma ocean on the parent body. Subsequently, these crystals underwent agitation due to the influx of external materials. The assimilation of these materials enriched the 16O component of the magma ocean and induced a relatively reduced state. Furthermore, this process significantly cooled the magma ocean and inhibited the evaporation of alkali elements, leading to elevated concentrations of Na and K within the meteorite. Our findings suggest that the introduced materials are probably sourced from the reservoirs of CR clan meteorites, indicating extensive transport and mixing of materials within the early solar system.

Published: April 2024

En France, les personnes âgées immigrées extracommunautaires ( pai ) figurent parmi les groupes les plus sévèrement affectés par la Covid-19. Les conséquences sociales, économiques et psychologiques sont particulièrement accablantes pour de nombreuses pai , déjà vulnérabilisées par des parcours migratoires, professionnels et résidentiels complexes, et des parcours d’accompagnement social et d’accès aux soins inadéquats. D’autres facteurs structurels, tels que la méconnaissance par les pouvoirs publics de leurs problématiques, ainsi qu’une inattention systémique vis-à-vis de leurs besoins spécifiques, contribuent à engendrer un processus d’invisibilisation sociale exacerbant leur marginalisation. Cet article présente un pan des résultats d’une recherche-action conduite dans six régions françaises durant la pandémie de Covid-19 : Hauts-de-France, Grand Est, Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur et Occitanie. L’objectif était d’identifier et de mieux comprendre les difficultés, les besoins et les facteurs de résilience des pai dans le contexte de la pandémie. L’article s’appuie sur des données qualitatives issues d’entretiens et de groupes de discussion avec 79 pai . L’analyse des données montre comment la crise liée à la Covid-19 a engendré des effets disproportionnés poussant le processus d’invisibilisation sociale à son paroxysme. En outre, l’étude identifie et explore les ressources individuelles et collectives mobilisées comme stratégies de résilience par les pai pour faire face aux défis de cette crise sanitaire.
