Managing Online Reputation in the Age of Cancel Culture
Authors: Nkrumah Davis 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The general objective of this study was to examine managing online reputation in the age of cancel culture.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to online reputation in the age of cancel culture. The study highlighted the importance of proactive reputation management strategies, stakeholder engagement, and adaptation in navigating the complexities of cancel culture in the digital era. By emphasizing transparency, authenticity, and responsiveness, individuals and organizations can mitigate reputational risks and maintain trust and credibility online. Drawing upon insights from social psychology theories and empirical research, the study underscores the need for continuous monitoring, collaboration, and ethical leadership to address systemic issues and promote positive online behavior. Overall, the study emphasizes the significance of adaptability, empathy, and strategic communication in effectively managing online reputation amidst the challenges of cancel culture.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Social Identity theory, Social Learning theory and Attribution theory may be used to anchor future studies on managing online reputation. In managing online reputation amidst cancel culture, prioritizing transparency and authenticity in communication is crucial for building trust and credibility with stakeholders. Organizations should develop comprehensive crisis communication plans tailored to the digital landscape, enabling swift responses to reputational crises and minimizing negative publicity. Proactive monitoring of online conversations allows organizations to anticipate and mitigate emerging issues, shaping public perception positively. Additionally, prioritizing stakeholder engagement fosters meaningful relationships and demonstrates accountability, while upholding ethical principles safeguards credibility and mitigates reputational harm. Continuous evaluation of reputation management efforts ensures adaptability and improvement, enabling organizations to navigate cancel culture challenges effectively and preserve trust with stakeholders.
A Liberdade Econômica modera a relação entre o Desempenho Econômico e a Estrutura de Capital?
Authors: Gomes Rocha Ferreira Lucas Benedito , Kroenke Adriana 
Published: February 2024

Objetivo: analisar o efeito da Liberdade Econômica na relação entre o Desempenho Econômico e a Estrutura de Capital das companhias das Américas.
Método: realizou-se pesquisa descritiva, documental com uma abordagem quantitativa por meio da Modelagem Linear Hierárquica. Os dados secundários referentes às empresas foram extraídos da Refinitiv Eikon, enquanto as informações de Liberdade Econômica foram coletadas da The Heritage Foundation. As relações foram verificadas à luz da Pecking Order Theory e Trade-Off, sendo que os países foram analisados conforme variável institucional da Liberdade Econômica. A população da pesquisa foi composta por países das Américas, os quais resultam uma amostra final de 4.068 empresas no período de 2014 a 2021.
Originalidade/Relevância: o estudo mostra que a Liberdade Econômica dos países pode alterar as decisões de financiamento das empresas.
Resultados: sem considerar a Liberdade Econômica, há uma relação positiva e significativa entre o Desempenho Econômico e a Estrutura de Capital, conforme esperado pela Trade-Off, indicando que a empresa está se direcionando a uma meta definida de uma relação dívida/valor. Entretanto, ao reconhecer o efeito moderador da Liberdade Econômica, essa relação passa a ser negativa, como presume a Pecking Order Theory, já que há menores níveis de endividamento para as empresas mais rentáveis.
Contribuição: indica a importância de o governo garantir a Liberdade Econômica dos indivíduos/empresários, de forma a diminuir as barreiras ao comércio, à corrupção e ao financiamento, promovendo uma estabilidade política por meio de indicadores de governança e institucionais.
Palavras-chave: Estrutura de Capital; Desempenho; Liberdade Econômica; Pecking Order; Trade-Off.
Development and application of a mesh generator intended for unsteady vortex-lattice method simulations of wind turbines and wind farms
Authors: Roccia Bruno A. , Ceballos Luis R. , Verstraete Marcos L. , Gebhardt Cristian G. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract. In the last decades, the unsteady vortex-lattice method (UVLM) has gained a lot of acceptance to study large onshore–offshore wind turbines (WTs). Furthermore, and due to the development of more powerful computers, parallelization strategies, and algorithms like the fast multipole method, it is possible to use vortex-based methods to analyze and simulate wind farms (WFs). However, UVLM-based solvers require structured meshes, which are generally very tedious to build using classical mesh generators, such as those utilized in the context of finite element methods (FEMs). Wind farm meshing is further complicated by the large number of design parameters associated with the wind turbine (coning angle, tilt angle, blade shape, etc.), farm layout, modeling of the terrain topography (for onshore WFs), and modeling of the sea level surface (for offshore WFs), which makes the use of FEM-oriented meshing tools almost inapplicable. In the literature there is a total absence of meshing tools when it comes to building aerodynamic grids of WTs and WFs to be used along with UVLM-based solvers. Therefore, in this work, we present a detailed description of the geometric modeling and computational implementation of an interactive UVLM-oriented mesh generator, named UVLMeshGen, developed entirely in MATLAB® and easily adaptable to GNU OCTAVE, for wind turbines and onshore–offshore wind farms. The meshing tool developed here consists of (i) a geometric processor in charge of designing and discretizing an entire wind farm and (ii) an independent module in charge of computing the kinematics for the entire WF. The output data provided by the UVLMeshGen consist of nodal coordinates and connectivity arrays, making it especially attractive and useful to be used by other flow potential solvers using vortices, sources and sinks, or dipoles/doublets, among others. The work is completed by providing a series of aerodynamic results related to WTs and WFs to show the capabilities of the mesh generator, without going into detailed discussions of wind turbine aerodynamics, which are not the focus of this paper.

Population-based X-ray gastric cancer screening in Hiroshima prefecture, Japan
Authors: Vu Nhu Thi Hanh , Urabe Yuji , Quach Duc Trong , Oka Shiro , Hiyama Toru 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND
X-ray gastric cancer (GC) screening has been shown to decrease mortality. Population-based X-ray GC screening has been performed in Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, since 1983 but time trends and the efficacy of the method over 39 years have not been assessed.
AIM
To evaluate time trends and efficacy of population-based X-ray GC screening and identify challenges and suggested solutions for the future.
METHODS
This was a population-based retrospective study. The data were derived from aggregated data of the Hiroshima Regional Health Medical Promotion Organization, including the number and rate of participants and those requiring esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs), the number and rate of participants diagnosed as having GC, and the positive predictive value of the abnormal findings detected by X-ray and confirmed by EGDs. The number and rate of esophageal cancers were also collected. Further, the cost of detecting one GC was evaluated.
RESULTS
The number of participants has decreased during the last four decades, from 39925 in 1983 to 12923 in 2021. The rate of those requiring EGDs decreased significantly in recent years (P < 0.001). The number of participants diagnosed as having GC has also declined, from 76 to 10 cases. However, the rate of cases diagnosed as GC among the participants remained around 0.1%. The positive predictive value increased significantly in recent years except during 1983-1991. The number and rate of accidentally detected esophageal cancers have risen recently, from 0% in 2008 to 0.02% in 2021, one-fifth of the diagnosis rate of GC. One GC diagnosis costs approximately 4200000 Japanese Yen (30000 United States Dollars) for the X-ray screenings and EGDs.
CONCLUSION
X-ray GC screening in Hiroshima has been efficient, but one challenge is the cost. Esophageal cancers may also need to be considered because they have gradually increased in recent years.

Religion, mental health, and terrorism: Public perception
Authors: Wildsmith Leah , Williams Thomas James Vaughan , Herbert Summer 
Published: February 2024

Key digested messageThe link between mental health and crime has been examined multiple times and the findings are inconsistent. The same notion applies to terrorism, however there is evidence that public perceptions are influenced by the defendant’s mental health. Due to the inconsistencies, this study examines whether religion, and mental health disorders, are factors for involvement in terrorism, whilst investigating the public perceptions. This pilot study utilised a sample of 156 participants through opportunity sampling (37 males & 118 females), with most participants being between the age of 18–24 years. The findings suggest that amongst other factors, the religion of the terrorist is a catalyst for the opinion of the public on whether he/she is guilty. Governments and related organisations, in cooperation with the media, should inform the public and increase awareness regarding the increased likelihood of falsely perceiving terrorists as mentally ill based on religion, and other background factors.
Systematicity and Skepticism
Authors: Segal Aaron 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The fact that philosophy is systematic—that philosophical issues are thoroughly interconnected—was a commonplace among nineteenth century idealists, then neglected by analytic philosophers throughout much of the twentieth century, and has now finally started to get some renewed attention. But other than calling attention to the fact, few philosophers have tried to say what it consists in, or what its implications are.
I argue that the systematicity of philosophy has disastrous epistemological implications. In particular, it implies philosophical skepticism: philosophers are rationally prohibited from believing any philosophical thesis. The argument goes by way of a new principle that connects inquiry with what is rational to believe. I conclude with a discussion of the relationship between my argument and other, more well-trodden arguments for philosophical skepticism.
Echi letterari e pluralità di senso in una novella del Boccaccio
Authors: Franco Marcella Di 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Il saggio si propone di indagare la novella Lisabetta da Messina di Giovanni Boccaccio, la quinta della IV giornata del Decameron. Ampiamente nota per il carattere tragico-elegiaco che la connota, è anche tra le più “resistenti” ad un'esegesi che esaurisca la sua profondità di senso e sciolga in via definitiva la natura stratificata che la ammanta. Il contributo si sofferma sulla funzione strutturale delle numerose ambiguità che attraversano il testo dal principio alla fine e intende svelare i meccanismi intrinseci su cui è costruita l'intera fabula attraverso le allusioni intertestuali. Oggetto di molteplici riletture critiche nel tempo, è proprio il suo carattere “sfuggente” ad avere conservato intatto il fascino del capolavoro novellistico di Boccaccio che scaturisce dalle sottili ambivalenze suscitate dai testi impliciti sottesi, dai numerosi paratesti inglobati o allusivamente richiamati, soprattutto i classici della tradizione greco-latina o i rimandi medievali coevi e anteriori. Il potere fortemente generativo dell'ambiguità strutturale del testo in sé moltiplica il gioco delle diverse interpretazioni possibili che nei secoli hanno offerto un aggancio testuale anche agli scrittori posteriori. Nella sua peculiare anamorfosi consiste pertanto la sua capacità di resistere ad una decifrazione appagante e onnicomprensiva, nonostante i vari approcci sociologici, storici, comparativi, linguistici, semiologici e psicoanalitici proposti, ognuno dei quali svela parzialmente la verità, ma senza mai illuminare esaustivamente i sensi ultimi di una novella esemplare.
L'Universo femminile di Maria Messina
Authors: Privitera Daniela 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
La presente proposta di lettura è dedicata alla figura di Maria Messina, scrittrice siciliana verista ingiustamente caduta nell'oblio e rivalutata negli anni ‘80 da Leonardo Sciascia. Dopo un'iniziale adesione ai modelli del verismo verghiano, la narrativa della Messina si caratterizza per una sua originalità legata all'analisi delle numerose figure femminili che popolano le sue opere. Il ritratto che ne emerge è quello di un'estrema condizione di subalternità femminile asservita all'universo fallocentrico della cultura dominante del potere maschile. L'analisi condotta nel presente lavoro si sofferma su alcune delle protagoniste femminili della raccolta Ragazze siciliane (1921) e mira a rilevare, attraverso un'interpretazione tematica ed onomastica dei testi, la presenza di un “protofemminismo” ante litteram per mezzo del quale la scrittrice ha coraggiosamente affrontato tematiche ritenute “scottanti” per il periodo storico, quali l'alterità e la differenza.
Educating the Younger Generation of Polish Female Refugees in Postwar Britain
Authors: Błaszczyk Agata 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This study explores the education of young Polish female refugees in postwar Britain, and the implications of the establishment of the Committee for the Education of Poles, a body brought into being on April 1, 1947, as a consequence of the passage of the Polish Resettlement Bill in March 1947 (the first ever British legislation dealing with mass immigration). It examines the newly introduced grammar schools for girls, the challenges raised for these new educational establishments, and the strategies introduced by the British authorities in order to cope with the growing numbers of Polish adolescents entering the country after World War II. Based on archival records and supported by oral interviews, the sample case studies presented herein highlight one way in which the young Polish community was rehabilitated in exile at the start of their path towards civic integration. They highlight the key importance of education to that pathway. The studies presented here provide an insight into the experiences of, and challenges faced by, young Polish women during the Process of their education and resettlement. Thanks to extant school reports, it has been possible to ascertain not only the practical and financial problems that impacted the schools presented in the paper, which operated under the auspices of the Committee for the Education of Poles, but also their slow, but steady improvement over time. The paper provides clear evidence that it was thanks to the Committee that a significant proportion of the younger generation of Poles managed to acquire the qualifications needed to secure their first jobs and ultimately a career in industry or business and so play a useful part in the economic life of Great Britain and her overseas territories.
Artificial intelligence applications in allergic rhinitis diagnosis: Focus on ensemble learning
Authors: Fu Dai , Chuanliang Zhao , Jingdong Yang , Yifei Meng , Shiwang Tan , Yue Qian , Shaoqing Yu 
Published: February 2024

Background:
The diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR) primarily relies on symptoms and laboratory examinations. Due to limitations in outpatient settings, certain tests such as nasal provocation tests and nasal secretion smear examinations are not routinely conducted. Although there are clear diagnostic criteria, an accurate diagnosis still requires the expertise of an experienced doctor, considering the patient’s medical history and conducting examinations. However, differences in physician knowledge and limitations of examination methods can result in variations in diagnosis.

Objective:
Artificial intelligence is a significant outcome of the rapid advancement in computer technology today. This study aims to present an intelligent diagnosis and detection method based on ensemble learning for AR.

Method:
We conducted a study on AR cases and 7 other diseases exhibiting similar symptoms, including rhinosinusitis, chronic rhinitis, upper respiratory tract infection, etc. Clinical data, encompassing medical history, clinical symptoms, allergen detection, and imaging, was collected. To develop an effective classifier, multiple models were employed to train on the same batch of data. By utilizing ensemble learning algorithms, we obtained the final ensemble classifier known as adaptive random forest-out of bag-easy ensemble (ARF-OOBEE). In order to perform comparative experiments, we selected 5 commonly used machine learning classification algorithms: Naive Bayes, support vector machine, logistic regression, multilayer perceptron, deep forest (GC Forest), and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost).To evaluate the prediction performance of AR samples, various parameters such as precision, sensitivity, specificity, G-mean, F1-score, and area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve were jointly employed as evaluation indicators.

Results:
We compared 7 classification models, including probability models, tree models, linear models, ensemble models, and neural network models. The ensemble classification algorithms, namely ARF-OOBEE and GC Forest, outperformed the other algorithms in terms of the comprehensive classification evaluation index. The accuracy of G-mean and AUC parameters improved by nearly 2% when compared to the other algorithms. Moreover, these ensemble classifiers exhibited excellent performance in handling large-scale data and unbalanced samples.

Conclusion:
The ARF-OOBEE ensemble learning model demonstrates strong generalization performance and comprehensive classification abilities, making it suitable for effective application in auxiliary AR diagnosis.
