Concerning the Nakayama property of a module
Authors: Karimzadeh Somayeh , Rostami Esmaeil , Hadjirezaei Somayeh 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we thoroughly study the Nakayama property and some related concepts.
Also, we describe multiplication modules that, among other things, satisfy the Nakayama property.
Next, we show that a ring 𝑅 is a Max ring if and only if all modules that can be generated by a finite or countable set have the weak Nakayama property.
We prove that a ring 𝑅 is a perfect ring if and only if every module that can be generated by a finite or countable set has the Nakayama property.
Finally, we present some categorical results on the aforementioned properties.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Thanks to the development of quantum mechanics-based crystal structure prediction methods in the past decade, numerous new compounds with low temperature thermodynamic stability, mainly binary intermetallic compounds, have been predicted. Differing from conventional alloy materials, the synthesis of these low temperature stable compounds may be impossible relying on traditional thermal activation methods since thermally activated atomic diffusion at low temperatures is so slow that phase formation may require cosmic-scale time. Strikingly, it has been shown that some special experimental methods can successfully synthesize low temperature stable compounds by introducing a large number of vacancies and defects into the material to enable atomic rearrangement and simultaneously increasing the phase transformation driving force to accelerate the reaction kinetics. This review summarizes the predictions of compounds that have not been experimentally reported to be stable at low temperatures and provides some experimental approaches that can be used for future synthesis. We describe the basic thermodynamics and kinetics of phase formation, show how compound formation is constrained at low temperatures, and illustrate that the formation of some compounds is nearly impossible without enhanced kinetics.
Online gaming and language aggression in a Tunisian Arabic context
Authors: Boukhris Khouloud 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper intends to examine the development of conflictual interactions, how they might be resolved, and the socio-cultural norms involved, by adopting an analytical framework in an online gaming context. The current paper was inspired by Kádár and Haugh’s framework as it enables me to investigate both the macro and micro aspects of (im)politeness. The study’s aim is to further examine how impoliteness, language aggression and conflict are realised in two online gaming platforms, namely Fortnite and PUBG Mobile. Thus, I will explore discursively how these phenomena are subjective in a Tunisian Arabic setting and discuss how participants reach their subjective perception of conflict in ways that do not always correspond to the supposed intentions of the ostensible offender. The results indicate that conflict is subjective as it is evaluated in different ways by different gamers and could be a result of a conflictual intention. The findings also reveal that conflict may also be created/ escalated as a result of a non-conflictual intention. Thus, this paper contributes to understanding of conflict, how impoliteness can lead to conflict and the various aspects of impoliteness/the perception of impoliteness.

Abstract
The goal of the paper is to present a Simplified Offensive Language (SOL) Taxonomy, its application and testing in the Second Annotation Campaign conducted between March-May 2023 on four languages: English, Czech, Lithuanian, and Polish to be verified and located in LLOD. Making reference to the previous Offensive Language taxonomic models proposed mostly by the same COST Action Nexus Linguarum WG 4.1.1 team, the number and variety of the categories underwent the definitional revision, and the present typology was tested in the annotation on the publicly available offensive language datasets of each of the four languages. The results of the annotation are presented and as they are contained within the accepted statistical values on the inter-annotator agreement in the SOL categories and their aspects, we propose this taxonomy as a core ontology which represents the encoding of the supported offensive languages and justify its use on new data in terms of a more universal Linguistic Linked Open Data (LLOD) schema.
Implicit offensiveness from linguistic and computational perspectives: A study of irony and sarcasm
Authors: Bączkowska Anna 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to shed some light on the linguistic concept of implicit offensiveness. On the one hand, implicitness will be juxtaposed with indirectness as the two concepts are not conceived of here as synonymous. On the other hand, a typology of offensiveness (vs offensive language and vs offendedness) will be proposed, as well as the overarching term ‘covert meaning’ that will span figurative implicitness and non-figurative implicitness. The gradability of various forms of covert meaning and its overlap with overt meaning (subsuming explicit literal meaning and implicit literal meaning) will also be discussed. In the analysis, two sample implicit concepts will be examined (irony vs sarcasm) based on corpus data (of general English and dedicated offensiveness corpus) and using non-contextual embeddings. Theory-wise, the paper demonstrates that implicitness is a complex term which is fuzzy and gradable; methodology-wise, it shows how computational tools can be used to attest theoretical assumptions related to offensive covert terms.
Asymmetric kernel method in the study of strong stability of the PH/M/1 queuing system
Authors: Djabali Yasmina , Hakmi Sedda , Zougab Nabil , Aïssani Djamil 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This paper proposes the nonparametric asymmetric kernel method in the study of strong stability of the PH/M/1 queuing system, after perturbation of arrival distribution to evaluate the proximity of the complex GI/M/1 system, where GI is a unknown general distribution.
The class of generalized gamma (GG) kernels is considered because of its several interesting properties and flexibility.
A simulation for several models illustrates the performance of the GG asymmetric kernel estimators in the study of strong stability of the PH/M/1, by computing the variation distance and the stability error.

Abstract

Objectives
To monitor the results of PIPAC directed therapy based on data from the International Society for the Study of the Pleura and Peritoneum (ISSPP) PIPAC database.

Methods
Analysis of data from patients entered between June 15th, 2020, and February 28th, 2023.

Results
Twelve centers reported 2,456 PIPAC procedures in 809 patients (median 2, range 1–18) with peritoneal metastasis (PM) from different primary tumors. Approximately 90 % had systemic chemotherapy prior to PIPAC. Twenty-eight percent were treated in prospective protocols. Overall non-access rate was 3.5 %. Concomitant surgical procedures were performed during PIPAC in 1.6 % of the patients. Median length of stay was 2 days. A total of 95 surgical complications were recorded, but only 22 % of these were graded ≥3b. Seventeen-hundred-and-three adverse events were noted, and 8 % were classified ≥3. The rate of complete or major histological response (peritoneal regression grade score, PRGS≤2) increased between the first and the third PIPAC in the group of patients who were evaluated by PRGS, and a PRGS ≤2 or a reduction of the mean PRGS of at least 1 between first and third PIPAC were observed in 80 %. Disease progression (50 %) or technical issues (19 %) were the most important reasons for stopping PIPAC treatment. Median overall survival from first PIPAC directed treatment varied from 10.7 months (CI 8.7–12.5) in gastric cancer to 27.1 months (16.4–50.5) in mesothelioma.

Conclusions
The ISSPP PIPAC database provides substantial real-world data supporting the use of PIPAC directed therapy in patients with PM from different primary tumors.

Abstract

Objectives
The final step in the production of the human Sd(a) antigen is catalyzed by beta-1,4-N-acetyl-galactosamine transferase 2 (B4GALNT2). This is done by adding a N-acetylgalactosamine residue via a beta-1,4 linkage to a subterminal galactose residue that has been substituted with an alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. The final stage of the production of the Cad antigen is also catalyzed by B4GALNT2. Knocking out pig B4GALNT2 gene decreased human serum antibodies binding to pig cells, which greatly reduces the immunological rejection in clinical xenotransplantation trials. Interestingly, gene region LOC110255214 (hereafter named B4GALNT2-like) showed high similarity with the B4GALNT2 gene in the pig genome in our previous work, but whether B4GALNT2-like shares similar biological properties like B4GALNT2 remains to be elucidated, whether B4GALNT2-like is a potential immune gene in xenotransplantation remains to be determined.

Methods
In this study, we compared the tissue expression pattern of B4GALNT2-like and B4GALNT2 in Bama pigs.

Results
We found the expression of B4GALNT2-like was significantly higher in the duodenum, but lower in the heart, spleen, lung, kidney, comparing to B4GALNT2. Applied the Escherichia coli recombinant expression, we obtained 768 and 1,300 μg protein for B4GALNT2 and B4GALNT2-like from 1 L culture, respectively. Using the expressed recombinant proteins, the enzymatic activity of the two proteins was determined and compared.

Conclusions
The enzymatic assay showed that B4GALNT2-like has comparable catalytic activity with B4GALNT2 (58.7 % of B4GALNT2), addressing an important question whether B4GALNT2-like is a new immunological rejection gene.
The Rights of Transnational Corporations under International Humanitarian Law
Authors: Karska Elżbieta , Czepek Vita 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
For several decades, transnational (multinational) corporations have been considered significant actors in international relations. It is also an undeniable fact that transnational corporations are economically stronger than many states. They are also increasingly present in situations of armed conflict. On one hand, companies operating in unstable environments are exposed to the violence and consequences of armed conflicts. On the other hand, some of their actions during armed conflicts may lead to violations, particularly of international human rights law. In this paper, however, the authors would like to focus more on the status of the protection of transnational corporations under international humanitarian law. It is possible to put forward the thesis that transnational corporations, having met certain requirements, can enjoy protection under international humanitarian law. Verification of this research thesis requires analysis of issues such as the relationship between international human rights law and international humanitarian law. It also requires the analysis of the legal basis on which the rights of transnational corporations may be founded and their scope.
The Principle of Equal Treatment in the Google Shopping Case
Authors: Pais Sofia Oliveira , Domingos Marta Prata 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This article reflects on the principle of equal treatment as a constant feature that pervades the European Union’s legal order and its specific role in competition law. Throughout history, this principle has been a foundation stone for developing the characteristics, such as freedom of movement, that one would consensually recognise as distinctive features that make the European Union a sui generis political construction. After a brief analysis of the principle’s development and ever-expanding contours, with new instruments emerging along the way and contributing to its importance, we will focus on the application of this principle to competition law. Paying particular attention to the Google Shopping case, we will demonstrate how the general principle of equal treatment remains relevant when confronted with new types of discriminatory abuses.

Authors: Justino Ribeiro Mello Andréa , Linhares Mayara Rodrigues de Carvalho Fernandes 
Published: December 2023

Introdução: A pandemia elevou os riscos psicológicos associados ao home working, pela intensificação significativa de seu uso. Por isso, buscou-se verificar a significância de variáveis pandêmicas – propostas a partir da revisão de literatura – em modelos de análise relacionados ao tecnoestresse e ao home working, considerando seus efeitos sobre a satisfação e a felicidade com o trabalho, sobre o desejo de permanecer no trabalho e sobre o estresse com a carreira. Metodologia: Com base no modelo de Ragu-Nathan et al. (2008), o questionário utilizado para coleta de dados abordou três tecnoestressores: tecnoinvasão, tecnosobrecarga e tecnoincerteza. Além destes, foram inseridas variáveis pandêmicas nos modelos de análise desenvolvidos e verificou-se a relação destas e dos tecnoestressores com a satisfação com o trabalho, a felicidade com o trabalho, o desejo de permanência no emprego e o estresse na carreira. O questionário seguiu o padrão da escala Likert, e foi enviado aos respondentes por e-mail e por whats app, chegando-se a 188 respostas válidas de profissionais brasileiros que aderiram ao trabalho remoto devido à pandemia da Covid-19. Os dados obtidos foram analisados com o uso do software R e com a técnica da Regressão Logística Ordinal. Resultados: Os fatores relacionados à tecnosobrecarga e à tecnoinvasão foram confirmados como estressores e os fatores pandêmicos se mostraram significantes para a análise do tecnoestresse. Conclusão: A satisfação com o trabalho, a felicidade com o trabalho, o desejo de permanência no emprego e o estresse na carreira sofreram a influência das variáveis componentes do tecnoestresse e também das variáveis relacionadas ao contexto da pandemia, especialmente a falta de suporte das organizações para a adaptação ao home working.
Validity and reliability of a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) assessing food groups consumption and nutrients intake in Costa Rican adolescents
Authors: Monge-Rojas Rafael , Alvarado-Barrantes Ricardo , Vargas-Quesada Rulamán , Chinnock Anne 
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQ) have been widely used in several age groups, including adolescents, due to their greater advantages over other dietary measurement methods. Therefore, this study was designed to assess the validity and reliability of a FFQ designed for use on Costa Rican adolescents. Methodology: The validation and reproducibility studies were carried out in a sample of 107 adolescents of San José province selected through convenience sampling. For validation, a comparison of the nutrient intake and food consumption data obtained with the FFQ was made with those derived from the 3-day food record (3FR). Reliability was assessed by comparing nutrient intake and food consumption derived from the first FFQ with another FFQ performed four weeks after the first. Results: FFQ overestimates 3FR, with an average overestimation of 40.2% for foods and 38.8% for nutrients. The cross-classification was good for 24 of 26 nutrients and for 12 of the 21 food groups, and the weighted kappa showed an acceptable discriminant ability of the FFQ to categorize individuals into broad nutrient intake (except for protein and cholesterol) and food groups categories (dairy products, white rice, beans, vegetables, fruits and fruit juice, sugary drinks, breakfast cereal, candies and sweets, snacks, fast foods, fat, and ice cream). Conclusions: The FFQ designed for Costa Rican adolescents was unable to assess absolute dietary intakes; however, it is a reasonable tool to categorize adolescents into broad ranges of dietary intakes and could be used to evaluate dietary patterns in epidemiological studies of diet-disease associations.
MDMA-assisted therapy for borderline personality disorder
Authors: Inouye Ann M. , Wolfgang Aaron S. , Philhower Lianne T. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAssociated with high-risk behavior, borderline personality disorder (BPD) remains one of the field's most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and stigmatized conditions. Individuals with BPD are frequently labeled as treatment-resistant patients. Furthermore, 25–58% of BPD individuals have a comorbid diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and BPD may be conceptualized as a trauma-spectrum disorder. In Phase 3 clinical trials for 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) full-dose participants for treatment-resistant PTSD found that up to 71.2% no longer met the criteria for PTSD. While PTSD is quite different from BPD, a qualitative exploration on the overlap in etiology and conceptualization provided new perspectives by interviewing two clinicians who focus their treatment with BPD diagnosed individuals and two MDMA-assisted therapy clinicians. This research examines the etiological, conceptualization, and therapeutic mechanisms of MDMA-assisted therapists and dialectical behavioral therapists. Through eight qualitative interviews, perspectives of the four participants revealed the similarities and limitations of both treatments.

Donald Trump in US Show Saturday Night Live (1988-2022)
Authors: Arkhangelskaya Irina 
Published: December 2023

The author analyzed episodes of the US late-night comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL, 1988–2022), in which Donald Trump appeared as an object of parody, a host or comedy sketch participant. The goal of the research was to define how comedy modus as well as images of Trump-businessman and Trump-politician changed, what messages the comedians sent to the public. We conducted a content-analysis of video materials, academic and media publications, and interviews with students from Linguistics University of Nizhny Novgorod and Lobachevski State University of Nizhny Novgorod, who watched SNL not less than once a month. The study revealed that prior to 2015 parodies on D. Trump were less aggressive, and during his work in show The Apprentice — complimentary. After Trump announced his participation in 2016 presidential campaign, he was no longer invited to be a guest on SNL. Alec Baldwin was chosen as his killer-impersonator. From 2015 to 2021, the actor showed Trump as a xenophobe, racist, unprofessional politician, and incompetent president. After the politician lost presidential elections in 2020 negative parodies continued. Management of comedy show support for the Democratic Party, SNL being one of them that is reflected in the fight of the show comedians with conservative, non-systematic politician Donald Trump.
CHANGES OF TIBIAL SLOPE AFTER CRUCIATE RETAINING–TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT AND THEIR FUNCTIONAL EFFECT OUTCOME
Authors: Noori Rebar , Abdulla Aso 
Published: December 2023

Background
Total knee arthroplasty has been regarded as the primary surgical procedure for relieving severe pain in the last stage of degenerative arthritis and experiencing better functional outcomes. many previous studies have been described the effect of posterior tibial slope on functional outcome, but many debates exist.
Objectives
To find changes of posterior tibial slope in total knee arthroplasty.
Patients and Methods
Our study includes 50 patients (50 knees) who underwent Cruciate Retaining-Total knee Replacement (CR-TKR) from 10 January 2018 to Nov2019. Posterior tibial slope (PTS) was measured on lateral x-ray. According to the oxford knee score, the functional outcome and the posterior tibial slope were measured preoperatively and postoperatively for each patient.
Results
Fifty patients underwent CR-TKR. Preoperative PTS and oxford knee scores were 11.7 and 11.72, respectively. Postoperative PTS and oxford knee scores were 9.3 and 39.64, respectively. We divided into Group A: PTS up to 9(24 cases) and Group B PTS more than 9 (26). We analyzed the relationship between PTS and functional outcome according to the oxford knee score.
Conclusion
Clinical improvements were noticed in both patient groups after CR-TKR.
