Comparison of Visual Representations used in the Biology Units of 7th and 8th Grade Middle School Science Textbooks
Authors: KELES Nurcan 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: This study was carried out to examine and compare the visual representations used in the biology units in 7th and 8th-grade middle school science textbooks with various criteria.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A document review model from qualitative data analysis was used for this research. The content and descriptive analysis techniques were used in the analysis of the textbooks. The code list used in this study consisted of five main categories, which were type of visual representation, surface feature of visual representations, captions of visual representation, the relation of visual representation with text, and function of visual representation.
Findings: As a result, visuals were used in different varieties and proportions according to the examined categories in both textbooks. The most common type of use was picture, followed by diagram. The examined rates of other subcategories of the categories were displayed in separate tables, as they showed differences at each grade level of the biology units. Highlights: When the findings were examined, it was found that the designs of the visuals in both textbooks and their relationships with the text were not sufficient to comprehend the biology subjects. For this reason, the biology content in these textbooks should be designed by taking into account the students' cognitive learning system, readability, and meaningful learning.

Authors: ÖZPINAR İlknur 
Published: October 2023

Purpose: The research mainly aimed to identify the effect of mathematics courses performed with Web 2.0 tools on secondary school students’ mathematical achievements and attitudes towards mathematics and to examine teacher-student views on the process.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was designed according to the mixed-method research approach. First, how mathematics courses performed with Web 2.0 tools (Plickers, Kahoot, and Edmodo) affected fifth- and eighth-grade students’ mathematical academic achievements and attitudes towards mathematics was examined, thereafter semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teacher and student views were collected using a written view form. The participants of the study is a mathematics teacher working in a secondary school located in the center of a city in Turkey and 133 students of this teacher.
Findings: Consequently, while mathematics courses using Web 2.0 tools were found to have a positive effect on fifth-grade students’ relevant achievements and attitudes, eighth-grades’ achievements and attitudes did not differ. Moreover it has been determined that teacher and students have generally positive opinions about the process.
Highlights: Future studies can investigate the effectiveness of different Web 2.0 tools in other courses in the long run. In addition, different variables such as attitude towards technology and digital literacy can be investigated. Web 2.0 tools can be introduced to teachers, and preservice teachers, and training can be provided to them.

Dinámicas de acceso a la información de las comunidades indígenas. Importancia de los derechos lingüísticos
Authors: Zapata Molina Ana Lucía 
Published: October 2023

El artículo de revisión tiene como objetivo analizar las dinámicas de acceso a la información con la que cuentan las comunidades indígenas para la protección de derechos bioculturales e intergeneracionales. Es una investigación de corte cualitativo documental bajo un enfoque hermenéutico. La información obtenida evidencia que, en varios casos, las comunidades indígenas han tenido que hacer uso de la acción constitucional de tutela para garantizar el derecho de la consulta previa. Además, se evidenció que hay una regulación especial para interponer derechos de petición, ya que estos pueden ser presentados, de forma verbal, en su lengua nativa, y los servidores públicos están obligados a radicar su petición y a dar una respuesta oportuna. En cuanto al acceso a la información mediante las TIC, se concluye que, en la actualidad, las comunidades indígenas ven en esta nueva generación de derechos una forma de expresar sus reclamos, pero también una forma de exclusión social. Finalmente, se analizaron las traducciones como forma de garantizar sus derechos lingüísticos, y se halló que no toda la jurisprudencia relevante para las comunidades indígenas se encuentra traducida. Lo anterior, permite concluir que el país cuenta con suficiente normativa y grandes iniciativas para garantizar el acceso a la información de las comunidades indígenas, pero no son efectivas o no se aplican en debida forma.

Authors: Sutaniyasa I Gede , Firdaus Riyadh , Bisri Dewi Yulianti 
Published: October 2023

Tehnik Awake Craniotomy (AC) untuk reseksi tumor glioma di area eloquent, menjadi pilihan untuk menghindari gangguan neurologis dan kognitif pascabedah. Perempuan, 34 tahun, diagnosa tumor intra-axial (high grade glioma), dengan keluhan kejang fokal pada tangan kiri sejak 4 bulan sebelumnya. Pemeriksaan MRI kepala dengan kontras ditemukan massa supratentorial intra-axial mengesankan suatu primary malignant brain tumor (high grade glioma). Dilakukan operasi AC dengan Monitored Consciuos Sedation (MCS), menggunakan dexmedetomidine dan scalps block. Selama operasi pasien mengalami 3 kali kejang, dari kejang fokal sampai kejang umum. Lama operasi 4 jam, reseksi tumor lebih dari 60%, operasi selesai karena pasien mengalami gangguan fungsi motorik pada ekstremitas atas dan bawah kiri. Pascabedah di rawat di ICU selama 2 hari, mengalami satu kali kejang pascabedah, dengan hemiparese sinistra grade 3. Kejang merupakan salah satu komplikasi yang paling sering dilaporkan pada prosedur AC. Kejang intraoperatif bisa menggagalkan AC, diganti ke anestesi umum dengan intubasi atau pemasangan laryngeal mask airway (LMA), dan kejang saat AC dikaitkan dengan meningkatnya morbiditas dan lama perawatan di rumah sakit Pemilihan pasien yang tepat, dukungan psikologis perioperatif, tim anestesi dan bedah yang berpengalaman memegang peranan penting dalam keberhasilan operasi dengan prosedur AC. Management of Intraoperative Seizures during Awake Craniotomy in Glioma Tumors AbstractThe Awake Craniotomy (AC) technique for resection of glioma tumors in the eloquent area is performed, while preserving neurological and cognitive functioning. Female, 34 years old, diagnosed with an intra-axial tumor (high-grade glioma), with complaints of focal seizures in the left hand since 4 months before. Head MRI examination with contrast found a supratentorial intra-axial mass suggesting a primary malignant brain tumor (high-grade glioma). AC surgery was performed with monitored conscious sedation (MCS), using dexmedetomidine and scalp blocks. During the operation, the patient had three seizures, ranging from focal seizures to generalized seizures. Operation time was 4 hours, tumor resection was more than 60%, and the operation was completed because the patient had impaired motor function in the left upper and lower extremities. Postoperatively, he was treated in the ICU for 2 days and experienced one postoperative seizure with grade 3 left hemiparesis. Seizure is one of the most commonly reported complications associated with awake craniotomy. Intraoperative seizure resulted in AC failures, requiring intubation or laryngeal mask airway change to to general anesthesia, and seizures during AC were associated with increased neurological short-term morbidity and a longer length of hospital stay. Selection of the right patient, perioperative psychological support, an experienced anesthetic and surgical team play an important role in the success of surgery with AC procedures.
Algorithmic Parody Protection in the European Union: CDSM Directive and DSA Regulation Perspective
Authors: Pakutinskas Prof. dr. Paulius , Šepetys Tomas Linas 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the CDSM Directive and DSA regulation effectiveness in protecting the EU copyright exception for parody, caricature, and pastiche set in Article 5 (3)(k) of the InfoSoc Directive and capture quintessential issues of the regulation that make the conditions for potentially reduced ability to disseminate creative parody content in the online content-sharing service platforms in the EU. The subject of this paper is the complex relationship between algorithmic content recognition tools and creative parody content qualification. Based on EU copyright law doctrinal consensus, a legislative move to introduce liability for copyright-infringing content to online content-sharing service providers induces algorithmic content moderation on digital platforms. The triangular challenge to balance EU copyright and exception protection without disrupting the online content-sharing service leads to algorithmic recognition-based parody recognition solutions.

Success-Score in Professional Soccer – Is there a sweet spot in the analysis of space and ball control?
Authors: Brinkjans David , Memmert Daniel , Paul Yannik , Perl Jürgen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In contrast to simple performance indicators in the practical application of quantitative analysis in professional soccer, the inclusion of certain contextual elements can improve both the predictive quality and interpretability of these. Therefore, the Success-Score is intended to identify the factors relevant to success by linking ball control and space control.
Position datasets from 14 games of the Bundesliga were used to calculate Success-Scores for several interval lengths for the penalty area and the 30-meter-zone. The relative goalscoring frequency above resp. below the 80th percentile, the rank correlation in terms of goals scored pursuant to the sorting of the Success-Score as well as possible distinctions in the Success-Score between two teams of different quality were examined.
Results revealed that interval lengths and the area under investigation largely affect the resulting Success-Score and its distribution. The Success-Score applied to the 30-meter-zone seems preferable when analyzing goalscoring. Dependent on the target of analysis, methodological and theoretical considerations need to be balanced in a sweet spot of the interval length.
Earnings quality among high-share liquidity companies: evidence from Central and Eastern European firms
Authors: Comporek Michal 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Paper’s objectives
The main aim of the paper is to analyze the earnings quality of high-share liquidity companies from Poland, Romania, and Hungary whose activities are outside the finance sector.

Methods applied
Earnings quality, i.e., earnings persistence, predictability, and accruals quality, was assessed using the Kruskal–Wallis test, the U Mann–Whitney test, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test, and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients.

Findings
The research demonstrates that companies listed in the Bucharest Stock Exchange tend to provide higher earnings quality than other firms in the CEEplus index. In the tested sample, there was a noticeable domination of managerial practices aimed at managing the earnings downward. This also happened in 2020, the period negatively affected by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Originality/value
This study fills a gap in the literature regarding the quality of accounting data reported among listed companies from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) countries that are characterized by high liquidity of shares.
Radicalizing radical linguistics: on the need to overcome the language–practice divide
Authors: Gahrn-Andersen Rasmus 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article thematizes the language–practice divide which, in various forms, is posited by proponents of radical linguistics. In tracing the divide back to Saussure’s Course, an argument is made for its abolishment. More specifically, I unfold a criticism of Saussure’s account on the differences and similarities between the general phenomenon of language and the practice of a chess game, arguing that there are no grounds for assuming that the two differ in kind, let alone are essentially reducible to their synchronous elements. Finally, I make a move towards exploring the interplay of language and practice by stressing the enlanguaged nature of practical doings and how they emerge from basic cognitive attitudes.
Mastering Languaging and Extending our Agency in and through the Virtualities of Languaging: The Interplay of Causes and Constraints in Actualising the World
Authors: Thibault Paul J. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In a process-ontological perspective, I consider some aspects of the ways in which human languaging enables persons to operate on and to actualize and de-actualize the modal potentials of their world. I examine Johanna Seibt’s notion of functional individuals to show how some aspect of the world can be selected and differentiated and thus located in some region of space-time by a particular linguistic (or other) operation. Rather than referring to an already given and present actuality, utterances actualise and situate functional individuals to varying degrees of definiteness, specificity, realness, and so on in occasions of languaging and in texts. Wordings enable and scaffold de-coupled intentional-semantic registration that coordinate selves and the functional individuals that populate their world. With reference to the nominal group and criteria of Thinghood, I consider concrete particulars and functional stuffs in relation to the capacity of our languaging to activate selective aspects of the modal potentials of the processes that we encounter in the world. This requires a process-ontological account of the world on which and in which we act in and through languaging. Languaging functions to sensibilize us to different aspects of the modal potentials that it activates.
Wie kann der Investitionsschwäche in Deutschland steuerpolitisch begegnet werden?
Authors: Nicolay Katharina , Steinbrenner Daniela 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Various obstacles, such as a shortage of skilled workers, high labour costs, high corporate taxes, as well as increasing regulatory density and high-energy costs, hamper investment in Germany. In particular, the lack of significant tax reforms has eroded Germany’s tax attractiveness compared to other competitors, including France, the UK and the US in recent years. While the Growth Opportunities Act has positive aspects such as the broadening of tax incentives for research and development and the extension of loss carry back regulations, it does not generally alleviate the issue of high corporate taxes in Germany. Additionally, it does not substantially reduce bureaucratic burdens for businesses, as some of its provisions may increase administrative complexity.
Gemeinschaftsdiagnose Herbst 2023: Kaufkraft kehrt zurück – politische Unsicherheit hoch
Authors: Dany-Knedlik Geraldine , Holtemöller Oliver , Kooths Stefan , Schmidt Torsten , Wollmershäuser Timo 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
According to the Joint Economic Forecast, Germany’s gross domestic product will decline by 0.6% in 2023. This is a strong downward revision of 0.9 percentage points from the forecast made in spring 2023. The most important reason for this revision is that industry and private consumption are recovering more slowly than has been expected in spring. Germany has been in a downturn for more than a year. The sharp rise in energy prices in 2022 put an abrupt end to the recovery from the pandemic. However, wage increases have meanwhile followed the price hike, energy prices have fallen, and exporters have partially passed on their higher costs, so that purchasing power is returning. Therefore, the downturn is expected to subside by the end of the year.
Wie viele Wasserstoff-Kraftwerke erfordert die Energiewende und wie erhalten wir sie?
Authors: Löffler Markus , Marquardt Ralf-M. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Even if the ambitious expansion targets for renewables are achieved, our simulation indicates that Germany will need around 100 GW of H2 power plants in 2045. Despite the enormous need, which politicians have not yet recognised, the expansion of H2-ready power plants is very sluggish. The pure energy-only-market concept is failing and urgently needs to be supplemented by additional incentives and capacity markets.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The European Union’s “Fit for 55” package of measures aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by the year 2030 compared to 1990 emissions levels. Various instruments are being implemented and planned for aviation, including changes to fuels, as well as taxes and fees. Depending on the extent to which airlines pass on the additional costs to passengers, there may be changes in air travel ticket prices. This study explores the potential impacts of ticket price adjustments on the level and distribution of demand.

The Objective was to evaluate the effects of the concentration of blood hemoglobin, total serum protein and albumin on skin graft engraftment frequency.Methods and Materials. The study included 186 patients with full-thickness skin burn more than 5 % of total body surface area who were treated in five different burn departments of the Russian Federation. Depending on the readiness of the wounds, all performed surgical treatments were divided into four groups: 1) simultaneous skin graft after tangential necretomy; 2) simultaneous skin graft after radical necretomy; 3) skin graft for granulation wounds; 4) skin graft for a long time existing pathologically (hyper)granulation. Venous blood was taken from all the patients 12 hours before and 12–24 hours after skin graft. The concentration of blood hemoglobin, total serum protein and albumin was determined in the obtained samples. The evaluation of skin graft engraftment frequency was carried out by a combined method on the 7th day after skin graft. The data obtained were processed using descriptive and nonparametric statistics.Results. The concentration of total serum protein (p=0.001) and albumin (p=0.000) had a significant impact on the skin grafting results. This relationship was most pronounced during skin grafting on granulating wounds and after radical necretomy. The data obtained were identical for meshed and non-meshed skin grafts. Decrease in hemoglobin concentration did not lead to a degradation of skin grafts (p=0.068) in any of the study groups. According to the results of the laboratory parameters ranking, it was found that maintaining the concentration of total serum protein more than 6 g/dL allows 1.3 times to improve the results of skin grafting, and albumin concentrations more than 3.5 g/dL – 1.4.Conclusion. During the study, we were unable to confirm the existence of a relationship between the concentration of blood hemoglobin and the results of skin graft engraftment by any of the statistical analysis methods in any of the study groups. Accordingly, the inability to transfuse erythrocytes to a patient with anemia below 9–8 g/dL cannot be considered as an absolute contraindication for early surgical treatment of burned patients. Apparently, the concentration of total serum protein and albumin has a much greater effect on the skin grafting results. Trigger values of total serum protein can be recognized as 6 g/dL (albumin – 3.5 g/dL), which provides good results of engraftment in at least 90 % of operated patients.

The Objective was to pay attention to the rare combination of a true aneurysm of the inferior phrenic artery and the syndrome of compression of the celiac trunk, its open decompression and elimination of aneurysms in three patients.Methods and Materials. From September 2018 to December 2022, in 5 patients with celiac trunk compression syndrome (three men; mean age 49.4 years, from 18 to 72 years) out of 182, according to MSCT angiography and during surgery, an aneurysm of the right inferior phrenic artery was detected in two and left for three. These arteries originated from the post-stenotic moderately dilated part of the celiac trunk.Results. On average, its diameter at the site of stenosis was 1.9 mm and the degree was 58 %, the trunk was 8.6 mm and the aneurysm was 6.8 mm, and its length was 8 mm. In 4 cases, the aneurysm originated from the ostium of this artery and in one case, 5 mm from it, without involvement of the celiac trunk. All 5 aneurysms were concentric sac-shaped, including a funnel-shaped variant in two of them. Three out of 5 patients successfully underwent open decompression of the celiac trunk and immediately resection of the aneurysm in two with the imposition of a lateral suture and ligatures on the artery, respectively, and exclusion in one with a purse-string suture.Conclusion. An aneurysm of the inferior phrenic artery originating from the celiac trunk may be one of the specific manifestations of its long-term significant diaphragmatic compression. With such a combination of lesions, the expediency of decompressing the celiac trunk and removing the aneurysm from the bloodstream, regardless of its size, should be considered.
