Introduction
Malaysia’s gross domestic product is heavily influenced by the food and beverage sector and the contribution of the industry to the national economy is expected to increase in the coming years. Thus, the need for employees in the food industry will continue to rise as this sector grows. Nevertheless, employees in the food industry are exposed to various occupational hazards that can lead to occupational injuries, mainly related to kitchen work. Given the increasing number of employees in the food industry and the rising trend of occupational injuries, this study was conducted to determine the prevalence of recent occupational injuries and their associated factors and predictors among food industry workers.

Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among food industry workers in Selangor, Malaysia. The respondents were sampled using a multistage random sampling method. Data were collected via online self-administered questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression models in the SPSS software, version 25.

Results
A total of 250 responses were received from 342 samples, with an overall response rate of 73.0%. The prevalence of recent occupational injuries among food industry workers was 44.8%. Statistically, significant associations were present between occupational injuries and alcohol consumption (p = 0.001), poor knowledge (p = 0.031), poor compliance (p = 0.021), poor safety management (p = 0.021), poor safety training (p = 0.002), poor safety culture (p = 0.003), physical exposure (p < 0.001), and ergonomic exposure (p = 0.009). The predictors for recent occupational injuries among food industry workers were Malay (adjusted Odds Ratio; aOR = 2.60, p = 0.027, 95% Confidence Interval; CI = 1.116, 6.035), alcohol consumption (aOR = 5.31, p = 0.001, 95% CI = 2.042, 13.779), poor knowledge (aOR = 1.98, p = 0.032, 95% CI = 1.059, 3.691), poor safety culture (aOR = 2.44, p = 0.002, 95% CI = 1.372, 4.342), and exposure to physical hazards (aOR = 8.88, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 3.031, 26.014).

Conclusion
This study has found a high prevalence of occupational injuries among food industry workers, thereby highlighting the importance of addressing alcohol consumption, improving worker knowledge, enhancing work safety culture, and better control measures on exposure to physical hazards, especially among Malay workers. By prioritising these factors, employers can create safer work environments and minimise the risk of occupational injuries.

Published: November 2023

Background/Aims
Stress is a known associated factor for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, the dynamics between stress and GERD are not fully studied, especially in Sri Lanka. Our objective was to assess it.

Methods
For this cross-sectional descriptive study, 1200 individuals (age ranged 18–70 years, mean 42.7 years [SD 14.4 years], 46.1% males), were recruited using stratified random cluster sampling from all 25 districts of Sri Lanka. An interviewer-administered questionnaire, which included a country-validated GERD symptom screening tool, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), was used to assess GERD symptoms and stress. Probable GERD was defined as those having heartburn and/ or regurgitation at least once per week which is on par with globally accepted criteria. Those who did not fulfill these criteria were considered as controls.

Results
PSS score was higher in those with probable GERD (mean 13.75 [standard deviation (SD) 6.87]) than in controls (mean 10.93 [SD 6.80]), (p <0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). The adjusted odds ratio for GERD symptoms was 1.96 times higher (95% confidence interval 1.50–2.55) in the moderate to high-stress level compared to the low-stress level participants. PSS score correlated significantly with the GERD screening tool score (R 0.242, p <0.001). Heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, cough, and burping were significantly frequent in those with moderate to high-stress levels (p <0.001). Those with higher stress scores were more likely to use acid-lowering drugs (p = 0.006).

Conclusions
Individuals exposed to higher levels of stress are more likely to have GERD symptoms. Therefore, stress reduction should be an important part of GERD symptom management.
Clinical leaders crossing boundaries: A study on the role of clinical leadership in crossing boundaries between specialties
Authors: Braam Anoek , van Wijngaarden Jeroen D. H. , Vollmann Manja , Hilders Carina G. J. M. , Buljac-Samardžić Martina 
Published: November 2023

Background
Due to the growing number of complex (multimorbid) patients, integrating and coordinating care across medical specialties around patient needs is an urgent theme in current health care. Clinical leadership plays an important role in stimulating coordination both within and between specialty groups, which results in better outcomes in terms of job satisfaction and quality of care.

Purpose
In this light, this study aims to understand the relation between physicians’ clinical leadership and outcomes, focusing on the sequential mediation of relationships and coordination with physicians within their own medical specialty group and from other specialties.

Methodology
A cross-sectional self-administered survey among physicians in a Dutch hospital (n = 107) was conducted to measure clinical leadership, relational coordination at two levels (medical specialty group and between different specialties), quality of care, and job satisfaction.

Results
Clinical leadership was related to better quality of care through more relational coordination within the medical specialty group. Clinical leadership was related to more job satisfaction through more relational coordination within the medical specialty group, through more relational coordination between specialties, and sequentially through both kinds of relational coordination.

Conclusion
Physicians who act as clinical leaders are important for crossing specialist boundaries and increasing care outcomes.

Practical implications
To improve multidisciplinary collaboration, managers should encourage clinical leadership and pay attention to the strong relationships between physicians from the same specialty.
Nizami, Profane Love and the Melancholy Tradition: Uncovering Amor Heroes in the Indian Princess’ Tale in Seven Beauties
Authors: Aliyev Javid 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Nizami Ganjavi’s fourth epic poem, Seven Beauties offers a cohesive picture of many variations or ‘colors’ of love and occupies a prominent position in his prolific oeuvre. Although much has been written on mystical love in Nizami’s works, the status of profane love remains somewhat neglected. A concept introduced through the Latin translation of an Arabic medical treatise on love during the medieval period, studies on profane love gave rise to a specific form of melancholy, referred as amor heroes or love-melancholy in various medico-literary texts. As a polymath, it can be speculated that Nizami’s interests in medicine probably extended to this type of amorous sickness. Upon close reading of the famous tale “King of Black”, clear parallels can be discerned between the literary depiction of the love-lorn king and the medical symptoms of love-melancholy. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to elucidate this connection by drawing on the Galenic and Arabic medical texts on love and melancholy, which eventually influenced Nizami and found its reverberations in the tale of the Indian Princess in Seven Beauties.
Robert Walsers Sprachbildlichkeit: Im Trialog mit Thomas Hirschhorns Ruinen und Mark Wallingers Schattenspielen
Authors: Steierwald Ulrike 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the linguistic imagery of his texts and also in his consistent biographical retreat, the author Robert Walser presents the riddles of an aesthetic relationship between self and other to the world. From the diversity of his extremely relational view of the world emerges a tension-rich charge of his texts, which is taken up by numerous visual artists. The tension consists in the simultaneity of abstraction and vividness, of cosmographic expansion and extreme reduction (e. g., in the micrograms), of similarity as well as difference. Thomas Hirschhorn and Mark Wallinger are quite similar in their love for Walser, but they are far apart in their artistic consequences. They shape the extremely relational and yet always precarious view of the world either in adhesions or volatility, physicality or shadow, publicity or isolation, ruins or paths, concretizations or abstractions. A politically effective aesthetic connects the two artists with Robert Walser in a poetic trialogue, for it is a matter of communication and discursive exposition, not of enlightenment or agitation.
Imitation and the Inimitable: Scenes of (Failing) Translation in Goethe’s Lehrjahre and Novelle
Authors: Weissmann Dirk 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper explores the theme of translation, pseudo-translation, and multilingualism in Goethe’s Lehrjahre and Novelle. Both texts stage processes of (failing) translation in order to reflect on issues of linguistic identity and linguistic homogeneity. Overall, Goethe’s latent inclusion of different languages in these texts demonstrates his deep engagement with language diversity, as he resisted the monolingualizing tendencies of his time. The paper argues that the two novels underscore the tension between embracing linguistic otherness and conforming to monolingual norms in German classicism.
Monitoring and numerical simulation analysis of a pit-in-pit excavation of the first branch line of Lanzhou Metro

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Based on the pit excavation project in a station of Lanzhou Metro, the horizontal displacement of bored piles, the ground settlement around the foundation pit, and the supporting axial force in the foundation pit were tested on site. The changing rules and influencing factors of horizontal displacement of external and internal bracing piles during foundation pit construction are analyzed. Comparing the measured results with the numerical simulation results, the results show that the finite element calculation results can meet the engineering needs, the pile-support system can effectively control the deformation of the foundation pit, and the bottom of the outer pit has an obvious uplift. The numerical simulation is used to study the influence of different working conditions on the deformation of the foundation pit. The results show that the inner support of the foundation pit can control soil deformation more effectively than the outer support of the foundation pit. The study can provide a reference for the construction of such foundation pit in Lanzhou in the future.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Corrosion-electrochemical behaviour of steel E 235 in borate buffer solution (pH = 7.4) containing F− ions with and with no added ZnNTP as an inhibitor, where NTP = N(CH2PO3)3, was studied by the potentiodynamic polarization and depth-profiling XPS analysis of specimens polarized at different potentials applied. Depending on the potential applied, F− ion was shown to influence differently on the formation, composition and structure of passive film. At E < 0.1–0.2 V/SSCE, F− ion promotes the passivation via forming sparingly soluble FeF2, and the resulting film is comprised of mainly iron(II) oxides and hydroxides, as well as sparingly soluble FeF2 and FeZnNTP. At E > 0.1–0.2 V/SSCE, F− ion works for the destruction of the passive film by forming soluble compounds with Fe3+ ions, which leads to its thinning. ZnNTP inhibitor forms FeZnNTP heterometallic complex with iron ions, which is the most stable constituent of the passive film. When F− ion concentration does not exceed 1.4 mmol/L, ZnNTP inhibitor is optimal to be added in amount of 0.5–1.0 g/L, whereas concentrations of 5.6 mmol/L F− ion and higher require 5 g/L ZnNTP or even more to be added.
AnswerTruthDetector: a combined cognitive load approach for separating truthful from deceptive answers in computer-administered questionnaires
Authors: Maleck Moritz , Gross Tom 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In human-computer interaction, much empirical research exists. Online questionnaires increasingly play an important role. Here the quality of the results depend strongly on the quality of the given answers, and it is essential to distinguish truthful from deceptive answers. There exist elegant single modalities for deception detection in the literature, such as mouse tracking and eye tracking (in this paper, respectively, measuring the pupil diameter). Yet, no combination of these two modalities is available. This paper presents a combined approach of two cognitive-load-based lie detection approaches. We address study administrators who conduct questionnaires in the HCI, wanting to improve the validity of questionnaires.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common critical cause of stroke and cardiac dysfunction worldwide with lifetime risks. Viral infection and inflammatory response with myocardial involvement may lead to an increase in AF-related mortality. To dissect the potential sequelae of viral infection in AF patients, especially the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), based on AF and COVID-19 databases from Gene Expression Omnibus, weighted gene co-expression network analysis was used to identify key genes in heart tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Here, HSCT, PSMB9, STAT2, and TNFSF13B were identified as common risk genes of AF and COVID-19 patients. Correlation analysis of these genes with AF and COVID-19 showed a positive disease relevance. silencing of STAT2 by small interfering RNA significantly rescued SARS-CoV-2 XBB1.5 pseudovirus-induced cardiac cell contraction dysfunction in vitro. In conclusion, we identified STAT2 may be a novel biomarker of inflammation-related cardiac dysfunction in AF.
Bases sociales de la Abstención electoral en la Argentina de comienzos del siglo XX
Authors: Jorrat Jorge Raúl 
Published: November 2023

La abstención electoral ha sido un tema de preocupación tanto en la vida política argentina como en los estudios internacionales sobre el tema. Para etapas tempranas la prensa y la dirigencia política local se preocupaba por laposibilidad de que “la mejor gente” —supuestamente alejada de la vida cívica— no concurriera a las urnas. Respecto de tales etapas, Canton y Jorrat rechazaron empíricamente la visión impresionista de que en la ciudad de Buenos Aires la “mejor gente” no votaba. Lijphart exhibía preocupaciones de este tipo, señalando luego que la evidencia empírica mostraba correlaciones positivas entre nivel socioeconómico y concurrencia a las urnas.Parte de esas preocupaciones habrían conducido a la obligatoriedad del voto en el país. En el presente trabajo extendemos nuestra indagación a datos de nivel individual, a partir de una encuesta nacional de 3300 casos en 2007.Vía ecuaciones de regresión logística, se explora la vinculación del no voto en las elecciones presidenciales de 1995, 1999 y 2003 con variables sociodemográficas clásicas (sexo, edad, educación), explorando la importancia explicativa comparada de variables consideradas estratégicas en la literatura: tradición electoral, identificación ideológica, valores sociales (materialismo), clase social, etc. Una mirada adicional final se ofrece para datos agregados de las elecciones de diputados de 2009 en la ciudad de Buenos Aires. Los resultados, tanto descriptivos como de regresiones logísticas de la encuesta nacional, o de correlaciones simples y regresiones lineales múltiples para losdatos agregados de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, mostrarían la ausencia de clivajes sociales marcados y sistemáticos tanto para fines del siglo xx como comienzos del XXI . Lo que apoyaría la posición de Lijphart, cuando sostiene que el voto obligatorio podría ser un mecanismo para promover el uso casi universal del derecho del voto.Palabras clave: voto obligatorio, variables sociodemográficas, ideología, clase social

Authors: Berasaluce Iza Julen 
Published: November 2023

El artículo se centra en el efecto del liderazgo de los partidos en la participación de los seguidores de un partido. Se analiza un modelo de competencia electoral entre dos partidos, se caracteriza el número óptimo de líderes en cada partido y se examina cómo éstos cambian con respecto al mecanismo de influencia, los costos de liderazgo, el tamaño de la población objetivo, la dispersión de las preferencias de los votantes en el espacio ideológico y su distribución. Los factores considerados pueden generar que los líderes de un partido sean menos productivos, conduciendo a dicho partido a contratar un inferior número de ellos y a obtener una menor proporción de votos de su población objetivo, conclusión que guía propuestas normativas.Palabras clave: competencia electoral, competencia espacial, líderes, influencia, movilización.
Capacidades de Gestión Pública. Análisis de los gobiernos de los municipios semi-urbanos del estado de Michoacán
Authors: Herrera Torres Hugo Amador , Colín Martínez René 
Published: November 2023

Con la operación de una batería de indicadores se calcularon índices para determinar el grado de consolidación de las capacidades de gestión de los gobiernos de los municipios semi-urbanos de Michoacán. El modelo de gestión operante en estos gobiernos es el burocrático. Los índices muestran que las capacidades de gestión —de estos gobiernos— se encuentran en una posición inaceptable (baja). Sus capacidades resultan insuficientes para desarrollar las funciones municipales básicas con la calidad mínima requerida. Lo inmediato para mejorarlas no está en el incremento de recursos externos o en la importación acríticade instrumentos de operación diseñados por agencias externas, sino en la consolidación de las capacidades ya existentes, así como en la generación de ambientes de certeza política en el espacio municipal. Se trata de afianzarel modelo burocrático en combinación con la gobernanza responsiva. Esto no anula la incorporación de herramientas provenientes de la Nueva Gerencia Pública. En los gobiernosde los municipios semi-urbanos, el reto está en introducir cambios coherentes con su modelo, que permitan de manera sincrónica operar mejor y consolidar prácticas democráticas.Palabras claves: gestión pública, gobierno, municipio, semi-urbano, capacidades.

Published: November 2023

El proceso de Reforma Policial impulsado en El Salvador como resultado de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz de Chapultepec en 1992, entre el gobierno de Alfredo Cristiani y el Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN) se ha visto desdibujado, entre otras cosas, por la puesta en marcha de políticas de seguridad altamente represivas que han representado un obstáculo para el asentamiento de los principios rectores que soportaron la creación de la Policía Nacional Civil (PNC). Este artículo analiza el contenido de las políticas de seguridad impulsadas entre 1999 y 2014, por los gobiernos de Francisco Flores, Antonio Saca y Mauricio Funes y su efecto sobre la consolidación de un cuerpo policial coherente con los principios democráticos.Palabras Claves: Reforma Policial, Seguridad Ciudadana, Políticas Públicas, Policía Nacional Civil, El Salvador.
La voz de la Reforma Energética de Peña Nieto: cómo se comunica una política pública en un entorno polarizado
Authors: Constantini Torres Arturo Rafael 
Published: November 2023

El 20 de diciembre de 2013 el presidente Enrique Peña Nieto firmó el decreto constitucional de la reforma energética que permitió la apertura del sector al capital privado. Aquel día, en Palacio Nacional, el mandatario expresó que con la promulgación de la reforma "comienza así una nueva historia para nuestro país. Hemos abierto las puertas de un mejor futuro para todos". A lo largo de este proceso de negociación y arreglos en la arena política, el gobierno emprendió una propaganda de la reforma que consistió en un bombardeo de mensajes persuasivos y de convencimiento sobre los efectos positivos y la necesidad de la implementación de la iniciativa. Dado la relevancia que ha adquirido la comunicación gubernamental en los últimos años y el impacto de lo que implica para México abrir el sector energético a empresas nacionales y extranjeras, el presente artículo se centra en realizar un primer acercamiento analítico sobre la construcción de la narrativa gubernamental para comunicar la reforma y sus efectos en la opinión pública. Palabras clave: Reforma Energética, comunicación estratégica, comunicación gubernamental y política, policy framing.
Las ciudades del conocimiento en México: una revisión entre la teoría y la práctica
Authors: Hernández Mayorga Nielsen Daniel 
Published: November 2023

En años recientes ha crecido, tanto en el ámbito académico como en la práctica, la difusión del concepto de ciudades del conocimiento en el mundo. Son consideradas como estrategias deliberadas que buscan, entre otras cosas, ayudar al crecimiento económico y mejorar la planeación urbana. Algunos gobiernos subnacionales mexicanos han incluido a las ciudades del conocimiento en sus agendas gubernamentales como proyectos a largo plazo, aunque con resultados distintos. El objetivo de este artículo es hacer una revisión conceptual concreta más no exhaustiva del término ciudades del conocimiento y describir algunas iniciativas que se han realizado en México, planteando algunas interrogantes y retos futuros para ampliar la discusión en este campo que va creciendo sustancialmente. Palabras clave: ciudades del conocimiento, planeación urbana, crecimiento económico, gobiernos subnacionales.
Política social en el área metropolitana de Guadalajara: agenda intermunicipal y formulación de programas aislados
Authors: Piedra Ascencio Roberto Iván 
Published: November 2023

Las zonas metropolitanas son el nuevo esquema de vida en sociedad, pues ofrecen una cantidad considerable de ventajas a quienes habitan en ellas, sin embargo, los gobiernos han sido frecuentemente rebasados por una agenda pública en la que los distintos órdenes deben coexistir y formular políticas públicas para el desarrollo colectivo. Concentrado en la etapa de agenda, el artículo juzga el desempeño del gobierno estatal como procurador de la agenda metropolitana; muestra cómo algunos gobiernos municipales del Área Metropolitana de Guadalajara (AMG) han realizado una agenda común en política social; también se valora la cooperación entre los gobiernos, la posible permeabilidad de las intervenciones y se hace un balance entre presupuesto y beneficiarios que descubre a Guadalajara como un ostentador clave de las acciones sociales con fines políticos.Palabras clave: Política social, Área Metropolitana de Guadalajara, formulación de agenda, permeabilidad, Política Metropolitana de Desarrollo Social.
