How Learners Use Their Hands for Learning: an Eye-Tracking Study
Authors: Park Babette , Korbach Andreas , Ginns Paul , Brünken Roland 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe present work reviews and summarizes results of tracing studies up to the present and collects different explanations for found effects of pointing and tracing while learning as an effective touch-based action method. Two explanations are focused finally in order to test them in the presented eye-tracking study. The study (N = 90) with a three-group experimental design investigated whether learners benefit from pointing compared to learners using tracing or no-touch-based action method (pointing vs. tracing vs. no touch). The results replicate previous findings demonstrating benefits of using the hands for learning and provide additional support for the hypothesis that fingers support learning by directing attention. This is due to the fact that the learning group using pointing outperformed, especially in comprehension performance, the no-touch learning group and the learning group that used tracing actions. Eye-movement analysis indicated that the pointing group profited from a higher focus of visual attention and more intense cognitive activity. The question of why the tracing group did not show this same benefit is discussed by considering previous studies and the limitations of the present study. It seems as if the present study does not replicate a previous study. However, when reflecting on the different control group design, the present study delivers additional information on how using fingers affects learning. Moreover, new perspectives with explanations from the review are integrated for interpreting and discussing the presented results and opened herewith for further research on touch-based actions in the frame of movement and learning.
What are the key dimensions that CE emphasizes on? A systematic analysis of circular economy definitions
Authors: Sardianou E. , Nikou V. , Evangelinos K. , Nikolaou I. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractToday, the concept of the circular economy (CE) has different meanings for various scholars. There are numerous definitions that focus on highlighting different aspects and principles of CE. However, there has been little effort made regarding the focus of CE definitions on various environmental aspects, such as waste management, wastewater treatment, biodiversity, carbon emissions and climate change. To clarify this complex environment, this paper examines the research endeavors surrounding the CE by analyzing 136 descriptions sourced from various entities and researchers. In particular, a more thorough investigation of CE is warranted to explore the possible ways of adopting its principles. To achieve this, Microsoft Excel and Leximancer™ software are employed to thematically and content-wise analyze the descriptions. The results reveal that "waste" and "recycling" are central concepts in CE descriptions, which align with the goals set forth in Union legislative acts, the "Roadmap for a Resource-Efficient Europe," and the European Green Deal aimed at increasing recycling rates and eliminating waste.
Keeping it regional: pseudo-internationalisation of Slovak political science
Authors: Mišík Matúš , Oravcová Veronika , Plenta Peter , Hrabušajová Michaela 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis article examines the contribution of Slovak political science to international academic discussions by analysing publications by faculty members of Slovak political science departments. Based on an analysis of 2660 publications, our results indicate that while Slovak political scientists publish only small numbers of articles in journals indexed in international databases and few monographs with prestigious publishing houses, they are very productive when it comes to other types of publications, especially articles in non-indexed journals and conference proceedings. However, in both cases, most of their publications outside the national context are limited to regional journals and publishing houses. Although there are significant differences between individual Slovak political science departments in this regard, the predominant focus on regional (and domestic) publication outlets limits the contribution of Slovak political science to main discussions within the discipline. We call this publication strategy, seen as the flip side of internationalisation, which contributes to discussions at the global level, ‘pseudo-internationalisation’. We argue that this is a pragmatic approach adopted by employees of public universities who are expected to publish internationally, but, due to a lack of academic contacts outside their (immediate) neighbourhood, focus on this geographic area.

Authors: Koniou Ioulia , Douard Elise , Lanovaz Marc J. 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of the study was to develop and test a virtual reality application designed to put the participants “in the shoes” of an autistic person during a routine task.

Method
The study involved a randomized controlled trial that included 103 participants recruited from a technical college. Each participant responded to three questionnaires to measure attitudes, knowledge, and openness toward autism. Prior to responding to these questionnaires, the participants in the experimental group also completed an 8-min virtual reality simulation designed by the research team in collaboration with autistic individuals.

Results
The participants who completed the virtual reality simulation reported better attitudes, more knowledge, and higher openness toward autism than the participants in the control group.

Conclusion
The results of the study suggest that virtual reality simulations are promising tools to raise awareness about autism.

AbstractIn Southern and Eastern Africa, initiation of daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention has been high among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) offered PrEP. However, persistence and prevention-effective use of PrEP among this critical group continues to be a challenge. We conducted a qualitative sub-study of AGYW from the Community PrEP Study in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa who had high rates of pick up for monthly PrEP refills over two years, but differing levels of PrEP adherence based on tenofovir-diphosphate (TFV-DP) measurements in dried blood spots (DBS). Contrasting 22 AGYW with low versus high levels of TFV-DP in DBS, we qualitatively explored factors which influenced PrEP persistence vs. non-persistence, unique patterns of PrEP use (e.g., discarding or stockpiling), and participant recommendations for improving AGYW prevention-effective use of PrEP in the future. Results showed that PrEP misconceptions and mistrust among participants’ social networks negatively influenced adherence. In comparison, supportive families and/or partners and personal trust that PrEP works positively influenced adherence. Those with low adherence described being motivated to come to the site for other study benefits (e.g., reimbursement money, snacks, sanitary pads) and discarding PrEP to avoid stigma associated with being seen with pills. Future PrEP implementation strategies should focus on involving families and partners in PrEP support for AGYW and minimizing PrEP stigma at a community level.Trial registration NCT03977181.

Ab Esse ad Posse Non Valet Consequentia
Authors: Dohrn Daniel 
Published: December 2023

AbstractWhile knowledge of mere possibilities is difficult to understand, knowledge of possibilities that are actual seems unproblematic (as far as we know the actual world). The principle that what is actual is possible has been near-universally accepted. After summarizing some sporadic dissent, I present a proposal for how the validity of the principle might be restricted. While the principle certainly holds for sufficiently inclusive objective and epistemic possibilities, it may not hold when the accessibility of possibilities is contextually restricted.
Reinach on the essence of colours
Authors: Taieb Hamid 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to present and evaluate the (unduly neglected) account of the essence of colours developed by the early phenomenologist Adolf Reinach. Reinach claims that colours, as regards their nature or essence, are physical entities. He is opposed to the idea that colours are “subjective” or “psychic”. It might be the case that the colours we see in the world do not exist but are mere appearances. However, their non-existence would not entail any change in their essence: that is, they would not be psychic, but would just be non-existent physical entities. In Reinach’s view, we can be “ontic-neutral essentialists” about colours: we can remain neutral as to the existence of colours but still make claims about their essence. In the first part of the paper, I present Reinach’s take on the essence of colours. In the second part, I address his existential neutrality about colours; in particular, I argue that Reinach’s ontic-neutral essentialism brings to the fore a seldom noted but crucial distinction to be made in the discussion of colours, that between empirical and metaphysical non-realism about colours.
A systematic review and meta-analysis: leadership and interactional justice
Authors: Qandeel Mahmoud Salameh , Kuráth Gabriella 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study aims to execute a systematic literature review on leadership styles and interactional justice when found together or with other variables and a meta-analysis to examine their direct relationship, besides elaborating on the definitions of leadership styles. The ProQuest website was utilized to explore interactional justice and leadership concepts in all abstract and summary texts in English and articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals at any time. Thirty-six studies were related to the systematic review, and there were twenty-two valid cases for the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis techniques proved the strength of the relationship between leadership styles and interactional justice, with notable heterogeneity among all investigations and ambiguous proof of publication bias. Fisher’s method found a study to be an outlier, but it was significant in WLS, WAAP, and Cohen's d. The review of definitions showed a high degree of similarity, while the most prominent features of leadership styles were transformational, transactional, and ethical leadership. Yet, the systematic review proved unmistakable evidence of the connection between interactional justice and leadership styles, while those two concepts impacted other variables in a relationship. The relationship between leadership and interactional justice is influenced by many facets, such as their status in the connection, leadership styles, sample number, and study place, pushing the heterogeneity of the results. Although it is possible to mix up these diverse leadership styles, transformational or ethical leadership, both styles treat employees respectfully, avoid concealing information, and make staff feel satisfied. Wise leadership is crucial to shaping a positive interactional environment for workers. Therefore, leaders must pursue integrity and ethical behavior to establish organizational justice, particularly interactional justice.

Published: December 2023

AbstractIn the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship, digital technologies have ushered in new possibilities, attracting considerable academic attention. Despite the burgeoning research in Digital Entrepreneurship, the field remains fragmented, warranting a synthesized overview and structured research agenda. Consistently with the above, the paper presents a quantitative mapping of Digital Entrepreneurship through a bibliometric analysis of its publications. The research aims to address the need for a comprehensive, bibliometric overview of the topic, which has been echoed in recently published papers. In order to achieve this goal, we collected data from the Web of Science database, a common and scientifically sound choice in entrepreneurship research. The data were analyzed by applying Latent Dirichlet Allocation and topic modeling, thus providing a unique approach to bibliometric mapping. Topic modeling allows for the processing and analysis of significant amounts of scientific data, thus making it an ideal tool for bibliometric research. We find the field of Digital Entrepreneurship to be rather lively and in rapid development, with several publication outlets, affiliations, and countries contributing to it. We found four main topics to be extracted: the implications of Digital Entrepreneurship for innovation, Digital Entrepreneurship as an enabler for empowerment, the transformation of business models through digitalization, and the surge of digital platforms as entrepreneurial ecosystems. Additionally, we have provided a comprehensive overview of the theoretical lenses used amid the sample and a structured research agenda built upon extant gaps. From a theoretical perspective, the article serves as a starting point for future research on the topic and a comprehensive analysis of its present and past. From a practical perspective, the study is of interest to digital entrepreneurs willing to learn more about the opportunities and challenges provided by the digital landscape.
Stroke and Recent Myocardial Infarction, Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, Left Ventricular Thrombus, and Wall Motion Abnormalities
Authors: Fonseca Ana Catarina 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Purpose of Review
To review the evidence regarding stroke and recent myocardial infarction (MI), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular thrombus (LVT), and wall motion abnormalities (WMA).

Recent Findings
The risk of ischemic stroke associated with acute MI has been greatly reduced with reperfusion treatments that improved myocardium salvage. Acute ischemic stroke is an uncommon complication of diagnostic coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. For established LVT, anticoagulation is superior to antiplatelet medications to reduce the risk of ischemic stroke. The duration of anticoagulation should be at least 3 to 6 months. Direct oral anticoagulants have been used off-label in this context. In patients with low ejection fraction or WMA, there is no evidence that anticoagulation is superior to antiplatelet treatment in preventing ischemic stroke. In patients with ischemic stroke and recent MI (< 3 months), type of MI (STEMI or NSTEMI), timing, and location should be considered when deciding whether intravenous thrombolysis should be used for stroke treatment. Mechanical thrombectomy should be considered as a therapeutic alternative to intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion and recent MI.

Summary
Most guidelines regarding prevention of ischemic stroke in patients with these cardiac causes of stroke are derived from expert opinion. There is a need for high quality evidence to support stroke prevention treatments in these patients.
From Empowerment to Exploitation: Predicting Positive and Negative Associations with the Exchange of Sexual Services for Payment
Authors: Johansson Isabelle , Hansen Michael A. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractFew existing studies have delved into individual-level attitudes towards the exchange of sexual services for payment, leaving a significant gap in our understanding. Various studies have speculated about how certain demographic factors and attitudes may shape people's perceptions of causes and consequences relating to such exchanges, but none have directly investigated this topic. To bridge this gap, we predict individual-level associations between the exchange of sexual services for payment and positive and negative concepts. Using an original survey involving a substantial sample size of adults in the U.S. (n = 611), we examine the extent to which respondents associate these exchanges with sexual freedom, companionship, women's empowerment, poverty, women's exploitation, and human trafficking. Our study reveals some compelling results. When predicting attitudes towards the exchange of sexual services for payment, we find that women exhibit a stronger association with the negative concepts than men. Furthermore, individuals who view the exchange of sexual services for payment as socially acceptable are more likely to have stronger associations with the positive concepts. Surprisingly, the acceptability of exchanging sexual services for payment has no discernable impact on association with the negative concepts. The results add to our understanding of how the public perceives the exchange of sexual services for payment. A more nuanced understanding of public perception can foster constructive dialogues and debates, allowing for a more comprehensive exploration of potential policy solutions.
Differences in the permeability assessment of the fractured reservoir rocks using the conventional and the rough discrete fracture network modeling

Published: December 2023

AbstractPermeability assessment of naturally fractured rocks and fractured rocks after fracturing is critical to the development of oil and gas resources. In this paper, based on the discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling method, the conventional discrete fracture network (C-DFN) and the rough discrete fracture network (R-DFN) models are established. Through the seepage numerical simulation of the fractured rocks under different DFN, the differences in permeability of the fractured rocks under different parameters and their parameter sensitivity are analyzed and discussed. The results show that unconnected and independent fractures in the fracture network may weaken the seepage capacity of the fractured rocks. The fractured rock permeability increases with increase in connectivity and porosity and decreases with increase in maximum branch length and fracture dip. The use of C-DFN to equate the fracture network in the fractured rocks may underestimate the connectivity of the fracture network. For the more realistic R-DFN, the promotion of gas flow by connectivity is dominant when connectivity is high, and the hindrance of gas flow by fracture roughness is dominant when connectivity is low or when it is a single fracture. The permeability of the fractured rocks with R-DFN is more sensitive to the parameters than that of the fractured rocks with C-DFN. The higher the connectivity and porosity of the fractured rocks, the more obvious the difference between the permeability of the fractured rocks evaluated by C-DFN and R-DFN.
Enhanced Distinctiveness and Why “Strong Marks” Are Causing Us All Confusion
Authors: Johnson Phillip 
Published: December 2023

AbstractA “strong” trade mark, one which has a high level of distinctiveness, is entitled to a greater level of protection in the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States than other weaker marks. The psychological and marketing evidence suggests that, in fact, stronger marks are less likely to be confused by consumers. Accordingly, courts and tribunals are required to find confusion in cases involving strong marks even where the facts do not support it. The antecedence for this legal fiction (normative correction or public policy choice) is confused, it makes the law conceptually uncertain and now that marks with a sufficient reputation are entitled to protection from dilution, the fiction has become unsupportable from a normative perspective. Indeed, it appears that a neutral approach – that is not taking into account that it is a “stronger” mark during any confusion analysis – does little, if any, harm to the proprietors of strong marks and clearly benefits competitors. It is argued therefore that the rule giving more protection to strong marks (whether it is inherent or acquired strength) should be abolished.

Abstract
Background
Chronic inflammation in the course of inflammatory bowel disease may result in colon cancer, or colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CACRC). It is well established that CACRC is associated with oxidative stress and secretion of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines, e.g. tumor necrosis factor-α. Recently, we proved that the administration of gold(III) complexes resulted in the alleviation of acute colitis in mice. The aim of the current study was to assess the antitumor effect of a novel series of gold(III) complexes: TGS 121, 404, 512, 701, 702, and 703.

Materials
Analyzed gold(III) complexes were screened in the in vitro studies using colorectal cancer and normal colon epithelium cell lines, SW480, HT-29, and CCD 841 CoN, and in vivo, in the CACRC mouse model.

Results
Of all tested complexes, TGS 121, 404, and 702 exhibited the strongest anti-tumor effect in in vitro viability assay of colon cancer cell lines and in in vivo CACRC model, in which these complexes decreased the total number of colonic tumors and macroscopic score. We also evidenced that the mechanism of action was linked to the enzymatic antioxidant system and inflammatory cytokines.

Conclusions
TGS 121, 404, and 702 present anti-tumor potential and are an attractive therapeutic option for colorectal cancer.
Supplier Selection Method for Complex Product Based on Grey Group Clustering and Improved Criteria Importance
Authors: Xu Xiao-jie , Liu Yong , Liu Shi-tong 
Published: December 2023

AbstractSupplier selection is of great significance and role, which influence the quality of major product development, and economic security and life safety. However, there exists a variety of uncertain information as a result of evaluation experts’ strong subjective consciousness and complexity of decision environment in the process of supplier selection evaluation. To deal with these problems, by exploiting gray incidence analysis, cloud models and TOPSIS, we establish a multi-attribute decision-making supplier selection method for complex product based on gray group clustering and improved criteria importance through intercriteria correlation, and then a case verifies the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. The results show that (1) the proposed model can provide a better portrayal of the uncertainty of the evaluation process in terms of both the fuzziness of the semantic concept and the randomness of the affiliation degree, while taking into account the differences between the evaluated solution and the positive and negative ideal solutions. (2) The proposed model can fully voice the decision-maker’s attitude on the basis of available information, allowing the decision-making process to be better tailored to reality by taking into account the ambiguity and randomness of the evaluation process.
