THE WORLD OF VASTSELIINA ESTATE IN 1913
Authors: Spārītis Ojārs 
Published: October 2023

The main subject of this article is a photo album created by ReinholdKarl von Liphardt Jr, an outstanding representative of the BalticGerman landed gentry in Estonia in the first half of the 20th century.In the early 1990s, the director of the “Bildarchiv Foto Marburg” ofthe Art History Institute of the Phillips University Marburg, Mrs.Brigitte Walbe made the duplicates of the photographic materialsfrom the collection of the Baltic German historian and genealogistGeorg von Krusenstjern available to the author of this article.The article classifies and analyses the 181 photographs pastedin the photo album which, with the highest degree of certainty,can be attributed to Reinhold Karl von Liphardt Jr. (1864–1940), theowner of Raadi, Vastseliina and several other estates. Judging by the
photographs in the album, it can be concluded that von Liphardt usedphotography as a means of enriching his emotionally saturated lifewith yet another means of artistic self-expression. The photographstaken in the period from the winter of 1912–1913 to the winter of1913–1914, convey an inordinate amount of visual information aboutthe landscape, architecture and society in the Vastseliina manor.Reinhold Karl von Liphardt’s photo album presents a series ofchronologically consecutive images and it is similar to a poetic “diaryin pictures”. Reinhold Karl von Liphardt used photography as aperfect means of documenting his ecocultural environment. Hislandscape photographs are characterized by great attention to detail.The cultural and sociological significance of the rural scenes in thephotographs is further increased by the presence of local people inthem. The Seto ethnic group lived in the estates of Reinhold Karlvon Liphardt and, thanks to their ethnographic uniqueness, drewthe attention of an educated landlord.The photos with individual and group portraits of therepresentatives of the Seto ethnic group are not only vivid evidenceof the Estonian culture in the first decades of the 20th century, butalso striking works of art, whose power of expression elevates themconsiderably above the emotionality and artistic effect of ReinholdKarl von Liphardt’s lyrical landscapes and idyllic family portraits.
OM Forum—In-Person or Virtual? What Will Operations Management/Research Conferences Look Like?
Authors: Cavallin Toscani Antonio , Atasu Atalay , Van Wassenhove Luk N. , Vinelli Andrea 
Published: October 2023

Problem definition: We examine the environmental implications of shifting from in-person to virtual conference formats and identify the effects of such a shift on the value conferences provide to our societies. We extend work from other fields to present a more comprehensive comparison of the environmental impact and perceived value of different conference formats for the operations management/research communities. Methodology/results: We leverage a series of COVID-19–induced natural experiments to precisely evaluate the environmental footprint and societal value difference between in-person and virtual formats via life cycle assessment and survey techniques, respectively. Specifically, we focus on Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, Production and Operations Management Society, and European Operations Management Association conferences that were conducted in both formats between 2019 and 2021. The environmental assessment reveals a huge impact reduction: for climate change, on average, from 941.9 kg CO2eq per person for in-person formats to 1.0 for virtual. The value assessment emphasizes, instead, a detrimental utility loss with the overall perceived value derived from attendance moving—on a scale from 0 to 10—on average, from 7.9 to 4.0. When investigating the drivers of conference valuation, virtual formats show some merits, such as lower perceived costs and the added value of flexibility. The preference for in-person formats is unambiguous though, justified by the large performance gap related to socialization and networking, the two most important value drivers identified by our analysis. Managerial implications: These results highlight an inherent trade-off between virtual and in-person conferences. To overcome it, we discuss four strategies as to how our societies can reduce their environmental footprints and remain true to their essential purpose: (1) reduce in-person impact, (2) improve virtual design, (3) hybrid and decentralized formats, and (4) revise conferencing model and societies’ role.

Published: October 2023

Stroke is regarded as one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Cognitive impairment occurs in nearly 60% of stroke survivors. Despite the high prevalence and significant impact on post-stroke functioning, there remains a lack of clarity regarding effective interventions to support rehabilitation of cognitive impairment. This article critically appraises a systematic review which assessed the effectiveness of interventions to improve clinical outcomes associated with cognition for adults, post-onset of stroke.

Improving communication of diagnostic uncertainty to families of hospitalized children
Authors: Young Eleanor E. , Kane Joelle , Timmons Kristen , Kelley Jodi , Hagedorn Philip A. , Brady Patrick W. , Marshall Trisha L. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Diagnostic uncertainty is not reliably communicated to patients and caregivers. This study aims to identify barriers and facilitators to effective communication of diagnostic uncertainty, including development of potential tools and strategies for improvement, as perceived by healthcare professionals and caregivers.

Methods
We completed structured interviews with providers and caregivers of hospitalized children with uncertain diagnoses (UD). The interview guides addressed barriers to communication, key components for communication of uncertainty, and qualities of effective communication. The interviews concluded with respondents prioritizing potential interventions to improve communication of uncertainty. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and independently analyzed by two team members to identify common themes.

Results
Ten provider and five caregiver interviews were conducted. Common barriers to communication of uncertainty included time constraints, language barriers, and lack of clear definition of UD. Caregiver suggestions for improvement included sharing expectations of the diagnostic process and use of both written and visual communication tools. Interview respondents favored interventions of a sign summarizing the key components of diagnostic uncertainty for display in patient rooms and a structured diagnostic pause during daily rounds.

Conclusions
We identified several potential interventions that may enhance communication of diagnostic uncertainty and better engage patients and caregivers in the diagnostic process.
Practicing Runaway: What Happened to Pu Shunqing in the Early Chinese Film Industry?
Authors: Jin Chen 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The paper takes the question “what happened” to investigate women film pioneer Pu Shunqing’s experience and practice in the Chinese film industry of the 1920s. It not only looks at reasons for her successful participation to the field of screenwriting where no women had before, but also examines the process of how she intervened in the filmmaking, and how she was suppressed by a series of industrial norms and changes. Through a detailed archival survey on Pu’s personal experience and her performance in the cultural and industrial transformation. The study not only reveals several specific details regarding this women film pioneer and her practice, but also reflects on the process of her departure and thus sheds light on the situation of women who tried to take on creative roles behind the camera in the early film industry.
A low-loss molybdenum plasmonic waveguide: perfect single-crystal preparation and subwavelength grating optimization

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Plasmonic waveguides have attracted tremendous interest due to efficiently confining photons on the subwavelength spatial scale to be beating the propagation diffraction limit. Transition metal molybdenum (Mo) exhibits outstanding properties in light trapping and electromagnetic field confining, making it potentially valuable in 1.55 μm plasmonic waveguide applications. However, the reliable fabrication of high-quality Mo plasmonic waveguides is a significant challenge. A real-space micro-imaging study of the surface plasmon on Mo structures is still absent. In this study, we successfully prepared a single-crystalline Mo microrod waveguide structure and fabricated subwavelength gratings on it. The diffraction gratings were designed, optimized, and etched to excite the surface plasmon polariton behaviour of Mo for the first time. The grating-optimized Mo microrod single-crystal reveals highly efficient waveguide performance around near-infrared spectroscopy, exhibiting a long propagation length of 32 μm and a low transmission loss of 0.067 dB μm−1. The results provide an alternative to advanced materials research and optical device applications of plasmonic waveguide systems.
Apophatic Confrontation: von Balthasar’s Thought on Kenosis and Community as a Veiled Response to the “Trend” of Political Theology
Authors: Molina Almudena 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
This article explores the potential theological–political discourse of Hans Urs von Balthasar, presenting the following arguments: (1) Despite its often-disregarded status, Balthasar’s thought contains a discernible thread of political theology; (2) His exploration of kenosis and community serves as a direct challenge to Schmittian concepts of sovereignty and representation. This challenge opens up new discourses of sovereignty, diverging from the conventional plenipotentiary paradigm and accentuating a vision of community rooted in shared gift; (3) Balthasar’s thought embodies a form of negative political theology, deconstructing and rectifying presupposed categories within the domain of political theology, as his theological principles do not merely establish a direct correspondence between theological concepts and the political realm; moreover, it rejects the analogical correlation drawn between the theological and the political. Lastly, the article concludes that Balthasar’s affirmative Christology offers profound insights into the intricate interplay between religion and politics, thereby catalyzing a reevaluation of contemporary theopolitical discourses.
Transhumanism: the friendly face of the overhuman and the comic book Superman
Authors: Chavalka Jakub 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe core of the study is a critical comparison of Nietzsche’s notion ofÜbermensch, and its transhumanist rewriting into different variants of the posthuman. The first part contextualizes transhumanist thought, primarily in relation to certain evolutionary ideas that, in their totality, exhibit a fundamental anthropological deficit: they speak of the evolutionary overcoming of human, but the limit of sensibility that attempts to imagine a future human being is only the mere negation of what human has been so far. In this way, the posthuman is not removed from the somewhat vague context of the technological “extension” of previous humanity. In this respect, the whole concept is grossly unaesthetic. The second part shows that Nietzsche’s rethinking of the overhuman was intertwined with other anthropological structures, for example, the idea ofMitfreude(‘shared joy’), which is supposed to creatively (in the manner of art) replace the morally misleading notion of compassion. The Übermensch therefore enabled Nietzsche to propose a different conception of intersubjectivity; one that would no longer be reduced to contempt for the human being. The third section traces the causes of the transhumanist failure in productive imagination. It is based on the hypothesis that this failure is driven by an unconscious preference for the figure of the comic book Superman. It postulates, through a Kantian conception of the sublime, that an adequate elaboration of the image of the posthuman cannot do without an affective component that would allow forBejahung(‘affirmation’). Only the artificial will always appear, to some degree, as alien, and therefore will never transcend the limits of reactive adaptation. A living posthuman could only emerge if he offered anthropological techniques of the art of living. Therefore, transhumanism continuously raises anthropological questions, especially regarding the problem of the extent to which the artificiality of art can be identified with technology. Without proper answers, it will not achieve the complexity of Nietzsche’s overhuman, and will always only dilute him into technological supplements. The posthuman will come into being when he is conceived as a grandiose work of art.
X-Wörter im Deutschen: Ein Wortbildungsmuster zur diskursiven Vermeidung von Begriffen
Authors: Leonhard Jens , Röhrs Falko 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the German word formation pattern X-Wort within the theoretical framework of discourse morphology. For this purpose, morphological, semantic, and pragmatic analyses are combined on the basis of the German reference corpus. It is shown that the word formation pattern is productive and extremely frequent. However, the meaning of the word formation product is not always clear, since only two X-Wörter (N-Wort and F-Wort) can be considered lexicalized. Instead of word meanings acquired through the formation, a common function of the X-Wörter can be identified: they are used in metalinguistic discourses to avoid and mask certain terms. In this context, X-Wörter differ with respect to the motivation of avoidance: (i) racist terms, (ii) vulgar terms, and (iii) politically and superstitiously explosive words are avoided and masked. Thus, X-Wörter are part of euphemistic language. As such, their use can also be enregistered, and acquire a social-symbolic function, which indicates moral-ethical ideas of the speaker or writer. Consequently, we describe the word formation pattern as a form-meaning/function-pair whose morphological structure perfectly fits its communicative needs to avoid and mask specific words in discourses.
Oxygen‐regulated post‐translation modifications as master signalling pathway in cells
Authors: Batie Michael , Fasanya Temitope , Kenneth Niall S , Rocha Sonia 
Published: October 2023

AbstractOxygen is essential for viability in mammalian organisms. However, cells are often exposed to changes in oxygen availability, due to either increased demand or reduced oxygen supply, herein called hypoxia. To be able to survive and/or adapt to hypoxia, cells activate a variety of signalling cascades resulting in changes to chromatin, gene expression, metabolism and viability. Cellular signalling is often mediated via post‐translational modifications (PTMs), and this is no different in response to hypoxia. Many enzymes require oxygen for their activity and oxygen can directly influence several PTMS. Here, we review the direct impact of changes in oxygen availability on PTMs such as proline, asparagine, histidine and lysine hydroxylation, lysine and arginine methylation and cysteine dioxygenation, with a focus on mammalian systems. In addition, indirect hypoxia‐dependent effects on phosphorylation, ubiquitination and sumoylation will also be discussed. Direct and indirect oxygen‐regulated changes to PTMs are coordinated to achieve the cell's ultimate response to hypoxia. However, specific oxygen sensitivity and the functional relevance of some of the identified PTMs still require significant research.
Analysis of passivity problems in the baltic equity market
Authors: Belovas Igoris , Kabašinskas Audrius , Sakalauskas Leonidas 
Published: October 2023

The Baltic States equity market is a challenge for investors and financial analysts. Unfortunately strong assivity is observed in ``young'' markets, therefore any (Gaussian, α-stable etc) distribution fitting tests (Anderson–Darling, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, etc.) are poorly applicable. Improvement based on mixed distributions is proposed and its adequacy in the Baltic States market is tested. In this paper we use Koutrouvelis goodness-of-fit test and modified χ2 test.
Untapped Potential of Manufacturing MSEs in Bali Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Candrawati Ida Ayu , Purwanti Putu Ayu Pramitha 
Published: October 2023

The macro health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic that resulted in an economic slump in Bali exposed the need for economic development outside the tourism sector. Manufacturing Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) is one sector that contributes significantly to the economy, export value, and employment, particularly during moments when the tourism sector is down. This study aims to determine the performance of manufacturing MSEs during 2018-2021 using Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier production function analysis. The Technical Inefficiency (TE) value of manufacturing MSEs in Bali was 22.24% over 2018-2021. The impact of COVID-19 on each ISIC and business location has a varied impact on the production value of MSEs Manufacturing. The gender of the business owner, financial service, age of workers, and source of raw materials are inefficiency variables that significantly affect production value. However, the training received by manufacturing MSEs had no significant effect. The findings from this study can be used as a basis for government policy in further developing the untapped potential of manufacturing MSEs in Bali regarding impacts upon Bali's tourism sector during the pandemic.JEL Classification: D24, E23, J16, L86, O14 How to Cite:Candrawati, I.A., & Purwanti, P.A.P.

Authors: Masruroh Aini , Rodoni Ahmad , Pontjowinoto Iwan P 
Published: October 2023

The management of Hajj funds must be done effectively using a rigorous standardized risk management approach. This study aims to create a Hajj fund management model using Islamic financial instruments through the optimal portfolio method and strategic asset allocation. The model was built using historical data from 2010–2022, involving Islamic deposits, government sukuk (SBSN), corporate sukuk, and Islamic stocks, which were analyzed with the Markowitz portfolio equation in Excel Solver. The result showed that the optimal portfolio yields an 8.50% expected return with a 4.00% risk; strategic asset allocation produces an 8.25% return with a 2.99% risk. The policy implication of this research is the need to review the initial deposit of pilgrims and explore alternative investments to bridge the gap between the actual cost of Hajj and pilgrims' payments while improving returns.JEL Classification: M31, M37, L92 How to Cite:Masruroh, A., Rodoni, A., & Pontjowinoto, I.
