<p><strong>Abstract. </strong>The exact cause of encephalitis is still unclear in many cases, although the common etiological factors of this process are viruses such as herpes simplex virus and rabies virus, and also bacteria, fungi, parasites, several medicines and autoimmune diseases. Herein, we report a case of a 56-year-old man with a history of amnestic syndrome, impaired consciousness, somnolence throughout the day, headache, dizziness and hypertension, who was admitted to hospital with suspected neurological disease, and imaging features that were consistent with encephalitis of unknown etiology. Methods which were used to examine patient: cerebrospinal fluid testing, PCR examinations for viruses, testing of antibodies against surface antigens, magnetic resonance imaging of the head, psychiatric consultation, oncology consultation. The objective of this study is to demonstrate a case about an uncommon neurologic condition, which every clinician might meet in clinical practice. In this type of cases, the use of steroids such as dexamethasone and methylprednisolone might lead to a full recovery.</p>
<p><strong>Streszczenie.</strong> Dokładna przyczyna zapalenia mózgu w wielu przypadkach jest nadal niejasna, aczkolwiek popularnymi czynnikami etiologicznymi tego procesu są wirusy, takie jak wirus opryszczki pospolitej i wirus wścieklizny, a także bakterie, grzyby, pasożyty, niektóre leki i choroby autoimmunologiczne. W pracy przedstawiono przypadek 56-letniego mężczyzny z wywiadem zespołu amnestycznego, zaburzeń świadomości, senności w ciągu dnia, bólów głowy, zawrotów głowy i nadciśnienia tętniczego, który został przyjęty do szpitala z podejrzeniem choroby neurologicznej oraz wynikami badań obrazowych, które odpowiadały charakterystyce zapalenia mózgu o nieznanej etiologii. Metody, które zastosowano do badania pacjenta: badanie płynu mózgowo-rdzeniowego, badanie PCR w kierunku wirusów, badanie przeciwciał przeciwko antygenom powierzchniowym, rezonans magnetyczny głowy, konsultacja psychiatryczna, konsultacja onkologiczna. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie przypadku rzadkiego schorzenia neurologicznego, z którym każdy klinicysta może spotkać się w praktyce klinicznej. W tego typu przypadkach stosowanie steroidów, takich jak deksametazon i metyloprednizolon, może doprowadzić do pełnego wyzdrowienia.</p>

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) due to its ability to provide valuable insights into customer profitability and worth. CLV analysis predicts the net profit attributed to the entire future relationship with a customer. This analysis involves calculating the present value of a customer's expected future spending with the company, facilitating an understanding of the economic value of long-term customer relationships. CLV analysis empowers businesses to identify their most profitable customers and develop strategies for retaining them, ultimately maximizing long-term profitability.
CLV analysis relies on various models and techniques, including the RFM analysis categorizes customers based on recency, frequency, and monetary value, helping to segment customers and predict future behavior. Then, The Pareto/NBD model combines probability distributions to estimate CLV and is commonly used for customer base analysis.
This research article explores the application of RFM analysis for estimating customer lifetime value using the Pareto/NBD model in an online retail dataset. This metric is crucial for businesses as it assists in identifying valuable customers and formulating retention strategies to maximize long-term profitability.
Labour Market Integration as an Interactive Process
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna , Isaakyan Irina , Baglioni Simone 
Published: October 2023

<p>An undocumented female immigrant in New York has no medical insurance to allow the doctor to visit, shares a shabby apartment with a few other marginalised immigrants, has very limited money for groceries, and jumps between various gig jobs. An iconic case of seemingly failed labour market integration, this woman somehow manages to survive through the support from her migrant solidarity network. A local ethnic shop owner gives her free groceries, while an immigrant taxi driver offers her free rides from job to job. Out of the blue, a stranger hires her for a one-night job in an underground casino, without, however, clarifying her prospective duties. This is how Luciana, the protagonist in the movie Most Beautiful Island, engages in a high-risk informal market game of touching venomous insects to entertain rich clients. The final scene shows Luciana as the winner and sole game survivor, who leaves catatonically but with a tangible cash boon in her purse. The parting smile she then gives us is, nevertheless, telling in that she is determined to come back to play again. In fact, this gaming experience has changed her life forever. She has eventually found a way to earn a lot of money in a short time and resolve all her economic problems while also having proved her skill for this difficult job. </p>
Polarisation, Violent Extremism and Resilience in Europe today: An analytical framework
Authors: McNeil-Willson Richard , Gerrand Vivian , Scrinzi Francesca , Triandafyllidou Anna 
Published: October 2023

<p>This paper aims to conduct a systematic and critical review of contemporary literature on processes of polarisation, the role they are perceived as playing in creating a matrix of adversities that can lead to increased vulnerability to what is often termed ‘violent extremism’, and the potential impact of practices that are understood as building pro-social resilience to such adversities. Through a wide-ranging review, taking in studies and practice on polarisation and ‘violent extremism’, the authors aim to identify a schema of what are broadly conceptualised as vulnerabilities – factors, operating on macro, meso and micro levels, which may either increase or decrease the likelihood that communities become fragmented and polarised within a European context. </p>
Introduction: Comparing the New Hosts of Southern Europe
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna , González-Enríquez Carmen 
Published: October 2023

<p>Since the closure of legal immigration channels in Central and Northern Europe in the mid-1970s, immigrants began to arrive in Southern European countries, consid ering these countries partly as stepping stones towards their richer neighbours and partly as immigration destinations in their own right. Th e economic growth experi enced by Southern Europe in the 1980s, the entry of Greece (1981) and then Portugal and Spain (1986) in the European Communities, the increasing education level of young populations and their consequent fl eeing from low skilled jobs, and the rela tive booming of the informal economy in these countries have created employment opportunities for immigrants. As a matter of fact, Southern European countries, Spain and Italy in particular, fi gure in recent years at the top of the list as immigrant destinations among EU member states. </p>
Cultural diversity : advantage or liability?
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna , Ulasiuk Iryna 
Published: October 2023

<p>The recurrent discussions on the presumed “death of multiculturalism”, and the growing cultural diversity all over the globe, makes it now more than ever necessary to approach the issue of cultural diversity with a fresh look. What does it mean, in practice, to manage cultural diversity in a way consistent with the principles of human development? Which are the costs of ignoring cultural diversity? And what are the costs of lost opportunities because of the discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, religion, race or language? How can public policies contribute to turning cultural diversity into an asset for employment, productivity and overall economic growth</p>
<p>More specifically, can affirmative action be an effective answer to discrimination and exclusion of minority and immigrant groups? What are the advantages and pitfalls of keeping ethnic statistics? Are such statistics necessary to reveal and address different types of discrimination, or are they rather a risk as they disclose people’s ethnic, religious or cultural affiliation? The legacy of World War II in Europe in this respect remains still too sensitive, but can we go beyond it? </p>
<p>This Policy Brief aims to answers these questions on the basis of recent research carried out by the Global Governance Programme Research Strand on Cultural Pluralism and discussed with a group of European policymakers and leading academics in the field of cultural diversity who met for the High-Level Policy Seminar “What Policies are Needed to Turn Cultural Diversity into an Asset for Socio-Economic Development?”, at the European University Institute on 10 May 2013. </p>
<p>We suggest that managing cultural and religious diversity is more cost effective than simply ignoring the challenges that diversity brings. </p>
<p>Measures should be taken to encourage cultural diversity in the workplace: culturally and religiously diverse staff shows more creativity and innovation when confronted with complex issues or when devising new products. </p>
<p>Combating discrimination is also important so as to avoid wasting human resources. This requires an effective monitoring strategy, notably the use of “ethnic statistics” that will allow to assess the effectiveness of anti-discrimination policies.</p>
<p>Affirmative action is an important and necessary measure to combat ethnic disadvantage especially when a group is particularly marginalised. Affirmative action is an important first step for empowering the group and re-integrating in politics, the labour market or education. Affirmative action policies should however be periodically assessed so that they are not eventually perceived as mere favourable treatment of some groups over the majority </p>
Europe 2020 : addressing low skill labour migration at times of fragile recovery
Authors: Triandafyllidou Anna , Marchetti Sabrina 
Published: October 2023

<p> </p>
<p>In the current context of deep recession since 2008, acute Eurozone crisis since 2009 and fragile recovery as of 2013, managing effectively labour migration is crucial and at the same time it may seem a balancing act between opposed concerns: why would we need immigration if domestic unemployment is high? Why don’t we encourage more intra-EU mobility to deal with differences in member state labour markets and further restrict immigration from third countries? This policy paper argues that there are some labour market sectors where ethnicisation (these are “migrant” jobs) persists and resists the crisis effects: natives do not want to take jobs in cleaning and caring even if they are unemployed. Moreover, to be unemployed does not make someone skilled for working in the cleaning and caring sector. Such sectors have been so far outside the scope of EU policy initiatives for managing labour migration and there is a gap there that needs to be addressed. We propose here an EU level sectorial approach, particularly looking at the domestic work sector.</p>

The study evaluated the level of awareness of the risk of pesticide use on the environment in Edo North. The study was conducted among 400 farmers from twenty (20) villages in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Most frequently used pesticides were within the WHO class II pesticides (moderately toxic), which are considered as moderately hazardous. A few cases of highly toxic (DDVP 1000G/L EC) were reported. There was no report of DDT and Endosulfan which have been banned globally or have restricted use under the Stockholm Convention. Major drivers of pesticides purchase was affordability (50.8%). Irrespective of age, majority of the sampled farmers do not read pesticides labels before use, while farmers with no formal education (67.1%), reported they don’t read pesticides labels. More, so farmers with less than 5years farming experience (76.3%) also do not read labels before use. Reliance on the success stories of co-farmers and lack of clarity of information on pesticides labels were major reasons for not reading pesticides labels. Generally, farmers’ level of awareness of environmental effects of pesticides uses does not significantly depend on the age, educational background and years of farming experience at ρ > 0.05, d = 0.24), (ρ > 0.05, d = 0.29) (ρ > 0.05, d = 0.28) respectively, an indication that farmers don’t just like to read labels as long as the pesticides is effective. Detailed information on the knowledge and awareness of environmental risks associated with pesticide use among farmers is essential towards policy making for reducing the risk to the environment.
Наслідки міжнародної міграції для суспільних відносин
Authors: Курцев О.Ю. , Попова Г.Є. 
Published: October 2023

В представленій роботі розкрито поняття міжнародної міграції та визначено основні її особливості. Представлено основний вплив міжнародної міграції на тренди розвитку суспільних відносин. Міжнародна міграція, як процес переселення людей з однієї країни до іншої, має великий вплив на суспільні відносини. Визначено окремі наслідки міжнародної міграції з зазначеннм їх впливу на суспільні відносини.
Міжнародна міграція з точки зору культурної різноманітності. Міграція призводить до змін в культурному складі суспільства, створюючи більш різноманітну і багатогранну культурну суполку. Це може призвести до збагачення культурного досвіду, сприяти міжкультурному діалогу та розвитку культурного плюралізму.
Мігранти вносять значний внесок у суспільство, як економічно, так і соціально. Вони працюють в різних сферах, заповнюючи прогалини на ринку праці та забезпечуючи додаткові економічні ресурси. Міграція може стимулювати економічне зростання та розвиток.
Міграція створює можливості для міжкультурного спілкування і взаєморозуміння. Люди з різних культур навчаються спілкуватися, розуміти одне одного та вирішувати спільні проблеми. Це сприяє толерантності, взаємному повагу та підтримці міжкультурного діалогу.
Міграція також може створювати соціальні виклики, зокрема в сферах житлового будівництва, освіти, охорони здоров'я та соціального забезпечення. Необхідно вирішувати питання інтеграції мігрантів в суспільство, забезпечувати доступ до основних послуг та прав людини.
Міграція може впливати на політичну ситуацію в країні, зокрема через зміни в демографічній структурі та політичному дискурсі. Важливо забезпечити ефективне управління міграційними процесами та врегулювання міграційної політики для забезпечення стабільності та соціальної гармонії.
Таким чином, в підсумку можливо стверджувати, що міжнародна міграція є складним і багатогранним явищем, яке має як позитивні, так і виклики. Важливо розробляти політику та стратегії, які забезпечуватимуть ефективне управління міграційними процесами та сприятимуть позитивному впливу міграції на суспільні відносини.

Ikan merupakan salah satusumber protein bagi masyarakat. Harga ikan yang murah serta mudah didapat menjadi nilai positif sebagai alternatif sumber protein hewani selain daging hewan ternak darat. Seiring permintaan yang meningkat, metode pembesaran ikan juga semakin variatif. Salah satu pembesaran ikan yang saat ini populer adalah dengan metode sistem organik. Sistem pemeliharaan organik adalahpemeliharaan ikan dengan menggunakan bahan alami sebagai sumber pakan. Sistem organik dinilai mempercepat pertumbuhan ikan, menghemat biaya pakan dan membuat rasa daging ikan menjadi lebih enak serta tekstur dagingnya menjadi padat. Semua spesies ikan air tawar dapat dipelihara dengan sistem organik, salah satunya adalah ikan lele (Clarias sp). Tentunya ini bisa menjadi peluang usaha bagi peternak ikan lele. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pengaruh tingkat penerimaan masyarakat di wilayah Kotabumi, Kabupaten Lampung Utara terhadap ikan lele yang dibesarkan secara organik dan ikan lele yang menggunakan metode non organik. Hasil penelitian ini diketahui bahwa ikan lele organik lebih diminati oleh masyarakat jika dibandingkan dengan ikan lele non organik. Nilai uji organoleptik ikan lele organik memiliki nilai yang lebih tinggi yaitu sebesar 8,06 ? µ ? 8,28 dibandingkan lele non organik sebesar 7,91? µ ? 8,15. Sehingga penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa metode pembesaran ikan berpengaruh terhadap minat konsumsi masyarakat.
Fish is a source of protein for the community. Fish prices are cheap and easy to get is a positive value as an alternative source of animal protein other than land livestock meat. As demand increases, fish rearing methods are also increasingly varied. One of the most popular fish rearing methods is the organic system method. The organic rearing system is the maintenance of fish using natural ingredients as a source of feed. The organic system is considered to accelerate the growth of fish, save on feed costs and make the fish meat taste better and the meat texture denser. All freshwater fish species can be maintained using an organic system, one of which is catfish (Clarias sp). Certainly, it can be a business opportunity for catfish farmers. This study aims to determine the difference in the effect of the level of community acceptance in the Kotabumi area, North Lampung Regency on catfish that are raised organically and catfish using non-organic methods. The results of this study show that organic catfish is more in demand by the public when compared to non-organic catfish. The organoleptic test value of organic catfish has a higher value, which is 8.06 ? µ ? 8.28 compared to non-organic catfish which is 7.91? µ ? 8.15. So that this study can be concluded that the fish rearing method affects the interest in public consumption.

Benih yang disimpan dalam waktu yang lama atau diberi perlakuan lama penderaan uap air dengan suhu dan kelembaban yang tinggi akan mengalami penurunan viabilitas. Penelitian ini bertujan untuk membandingkan viabilitas benih kedelai varietas Grobogan dan Dena-1 selama masa simpan 0-6 bulan dengan suhu 27,3±0,90C, dan selama pengusangan cepat dengan suhu 43°C 0-6 hari. Viabilitas diukur persentase kecambah normal (KN) dan kecepatan perkecambahan (KP). Viabilitas benih diamati setiap hari. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa viabilitas benih Grobogan dan Dena-1 menurun selama penyimpanan 0-6 bulan, sama halnya dengan benih yang di dera dengan uap air jenuh 43°C selama 0-6 hari. Viabilitas benih kedelai varietas Grobogan dan Dena-1 selama penderaan dengan uap air jenuh 43°C selama 0-6 hari lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan yang disimpan dalam ruang bersuhu 27,3±0,9 °C selama 0-6 bulan.
The seed stored for a long time or exposed to a long period of high humidity and temperature will experience deterioration of their viability. The objective of this experiment was to compare the decrease in seed viability of two varieties of soybean between the seeds that were stored period of storage at 27.3±0.9OC for 0 to 6 months and those that exposed to the accelerated aging machine with a temperature of 43°C 0-6 days with 100% humidity. Viability was measured based on normal germination and the speed of germination. The viability of the seeds was observed periodically every day. The result showed that the seed viability of Grobogan and Dena-1 decreased during the storage period of 0-6 months and also during the storage inside the accelerated aging machine for 0-6 days. The viability of soybean seed exposed to high humidity 43°C temperature for 0-6 days was lower than those stored for 0-6 months compared with those stored at room temperature of 27.3 ± 0.9 ° C for 0-6 months.
Desinfección de bienes culturales aplicando una metodología combinada: aceites esenciales y anoxia
Authors: Valentín Rodrigo María Nieves 
Published: October 2023

Las propiedades microbicidas e insecticidas de determinadas plantas autóctonas se conocen desde tiempos remotos. No obstante, es a partir del siglo XX cuando comienzan a desarrollarse investigaciones multidisciplinares sobre especies para uso medicinal, agricultura y protección del medio ambiente.
Actualmente, los análisis químicos y genéticos permiten seleccionar productos específicos derivados de plantas, para eliminar microorganismos e insectos en bienes culturales. Sin embargo, la principal dificultad reside en el método de aplicación. El producto debe penetrar en las estructuras de los materiales históricos para erradicar el agente de biodeterioro. Los tratamientos en fase de vapor o pulverización pueden ser insuficientes, especialmente en colecciones de libros, textiles o piezas de madera.
En un proyecto de colaboración entre el Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España (IPCE) y el Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), se investigó el aceite esencial de Artemisia absinthium, para eliminar hongos; Penicillium chrysogenum y Fusarium verticilloides desarrollados en material celulósico. El producto se aplicó mediante un sistema dinámico de desinfección, basado en el método de anoxia. Se empleó un flujo continuo de gas inerte, nitrógeno, burbujeado en una solución con aceite esencial de Artemisia absinthium, diluido en etanol. La técnica que combina baja concentración de oxígeno y un aceite esencial, ha sido eficaz en los objetos tratados.
Los productos derivados de las plantas, aunque sean naturales, pueden tener un impacto negativo en la salud, ambiente, o producir alteraciones en los materiales históricos. Aspectos como la viabilidad y sostenibilidad son, asimismo, comentados.
