Authors: Ramírez Chinchilla Karol , Willmore Matrivier Jeremías , González Amaira 
Published: October 2023

Las plataformas de mensajería instantánea demostraron la versatilidad para ser implementadas en ámbitos distintos a los círculos sociales donde tuvieron predominancia en sus inicios. Cuando los sistemas educativos se pusieron a prueba ante el COVID-19, se apoyaron de herramientas para garantizar la docencia, siendo utilizado el WhatsApp como una de las redes sociales con alta usabilidad. Este artículo busca conocer los usos y aplicaciones pedagógicas de esta herramienta para complementar la interacción entre estudiantes y docentes, implementando un guion específico de 8 minutos, con contenidos y recursos sobre contextos históricos-educativos de la época contemporánea, en una clase doctoral con 24 participantes, reunidos en TEAMS cada semana.
La metodología incluyó la búsqueda de contenidos de las temáticas para abordar en clase y un guion. Finalmente, fueron puestos en acción los pasos de la guía, quedando en una etapa final la recogida de datos de las impresiones de los participantes. Se concluye que WhatsApp tiene potencial en el aula, pero con diseños instruccionales bien establecidos, que consideren tiempos de atención, recursos audiovisuales y pertinencia del mensaje. Esta dinámica debe acompañarse de normas de convivencia claras para que los grupos habilitados con fines educativos, cumplan con el objetivo de fortalecer la enseñanza-aprendizaje.

The global practice of corporate reporting has evolved considerably over the past decades. Corporate managers have to take into account the information needs of stakeholders, which are no longer limited to the company's financial information. Non-financial information such as environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosures are increasingly required. International organizations and governments are working together to develop ESG disclosure guidelines and standards that companies must, or can, report on ESG activities. Due to emerging ESG regulations, the integration of this non-financial information into the decision-making process is evolving into mandatory business behaviour, so it is important to understand how it can affect a firm's value and financial results. The article examines the origin of the ESG concept, methods of disclosure, motives, and the relationship between ESG and the firm's value and financial results. The results of the scientific literature analysis showed that ESG can influence the value of the company in a direct and indirect way. ESG directly affects Tobin's Q and stock prices and indirectly influences a company's value through financial performance (return on assets and equity and leverage). However, the impact does not occur in the short term due to the high implementation costs and the scale of the projects.
Tracking online searches for gambling activities and operators in the United Kingdom during the COVID-19 pandemic: A Google Trends™ analysis
Authors: Houghton Scott , Boy Frederic , Bradley Alexander , James Richard , Wardle Heather , Dymond Simon 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundWhilst some research has explored the impact of COVID-19 on gambling behaviour, little is yet known about online search behaviours for gambling during this period. The current study explored gambling-related online searches before, during and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK. We also assessed whether search trends were related to Gambling Commission behavioural data over the same period.MethodsGoogle Trends™ search data, covering thirty months from January 2020 to June 2022, for five gambling activities and five gambling operators were downloaded. Graphical displays of the weekly relative search values over this period were then produced to visualise trends in search terms, with key dates in COVID-19 policy and sporting events highlighted. Cross-correlations between seasonally adjusted monthly search data and behavioural indices were conducted.ResultsSharp increases in internet searches for poker, slots, and bingo were evident during the first lockdown in the UK, with operator searches sharply decreasing over this period. No changes in gambling activity searches were highlighted during subsequent lockdowns, although small increases in operator-based searches were detected. Strong positive correlations were found between search data and industry data for sports betting and poker but not for slots.ConclusionsGoogle Trends™ data may act as an indicator of population-level gambling behaviour. Substitution of preferred gambling activities for others may have occurred during the first lockdown when opportunities for sports betting were limited. Further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of internet search data in predicting gambling-related harm.
Indications of Discrimination in Regional Regulation Against Migrants in Bali (Bali Regulation Number 4 of 2019)
Authors: Muhammad Nova Effenty , Suleman Zulfitri Zulkarnain 
Published: October 2023

This study aims to find out the background of the formation of Peraturan Daerah (Regional Regulation – Regional Regulation) Number 4 of 2019. The researcher found that there is an effort by the Bali provincial government to provide a legal umbrella to the Customary Village in regulating its citizens and forming awig-awig or village rules respectively as a customary village. But the migrants in Bali who are mostly Muslims in Bali feel this is a form of discrimination. To analyze this problem the author uses qualitative research. Primary data sources are from the Bali Provincial Legal Bureau, from the Village Development Office, Traditional Village administrators, and migrants in Bali. Meanwhile, migrants on the island of Bali, the majority of whom are Muslims, feel that the Adat Village regulation as the embodiment of Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2019 is a discriminatory regional regulation because it provides a legal umbrella for the implementation of fees/collections carried out by Adat Villages in Bali. There is also competition or competition such as in the economic field, migrants or tamiu who live in Bali to try their luck and make a living are considered obstacles for residents. The 2011 bombing incident was also the peak of the conflict because the perpetrators were migrants/tamiu in Bali. This research finds that the relationship between Islam and Hinduism in Bali appears to be harmonious, but in fact it is shrouded in several hidden conflicts called Pragmatic Tolerance. The contribution of this research is expected to benefit the meaning of religious moderation in the scheme of real religious tolerance in Indonesia.

Azerbaijan is one of the ancient wine-growing country, and it is famous by its rich assortment of local grapes. Historically, in our country well-known brand wines have been prepared from aboriginal red grape varieties. Among them, we can mention branded Kurdamir kagoru, Shamakhi kagoru, Madasa and Khindogni natural wines, etc. wines made from such autochthonous grape varieties won the favor of consumers with their unique physical-chemical and organoleptic characteristics. In line with it, in recent years, to the country introduced a number of valuable grape varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and others. It is actually relevant comparative evaluation of such varieties cultivated in local conditions, including red ones.
During the ripening of the studied grape varieties, the amount of sugars ranged between 197 and 265 g/dm3, titratable acids from 4.5 to 7.7 g/dm3, and active acidity between 3.08 and 3.61. The mass concentration of sugars in the Xindogni grape variety was 197 g/dm3 on average. The varieties were in ascending order of the mass concentration of sugars: Madrasa 222 g/dm3, Cabernet-Sauvignon 226 g/dm3, Merlot 240 g/dm3, and Shirvanshahi 265 g/dm3. One of the important indicators determining the quality of raw materials is known to be the sugar-acid potential, in other words, a glucoacidometric index (GAI). In the studied varieties, the GAI varied from 3.0 to 5.7. This index was higher in the Shirvanshahi variety (5.7), medium in Madrasa (4.9) and Cabernet Sauvignon (4.8), and lower in the Xindogni (3.0) and Merlot (3.1) grape varieties. Delphinidin, cyanidin, peonidin, and malvidin anthocyanidins were found in skin hydrolysates. The amount of resveratrol in the skin, seed, and leaf was 0.75-8.25mg/kg, 0.31-5.7mg/kg, and 0.01-0.25mg, respectively, depending on varieties and years.
Local grape varieties had a noticeable level of aromatic alcohol content and were not at all inferior to the famous Cabernet Sauvignon grape variety. Aromatic alcohols such as β-phenylethanol, β-phenoxyethanol, and phenylcarbinol were among the compounds of importance for Kagor-type wines. A comparison of their quantity showed that the amount of these compounds in the Madrasa grape variety was more than in the other two grape varieties.
Muscle Mass and Serum Creatinine Concentration by Race and Ethnicity among Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Delgado Cynthia , Powe Neil R. , Chertow Glenn M. , Grimes Barbara , Johansen Kirsten L. 
Published: October 2023

Significance Statement
Serum creatinine is a product of skeletal muscle metabolism. Differences in serum creatinine concentration between Black and non-Black individuals have been attributed to differences in muscle mass but have not been thoroughly examined. Furthermore, other race and ethnic groups have not been considered. If differences in body composition explain differences in serum concentration by race or ethnicity, then estimates of body composition could be used in eGFR equations rather than race. Adjustment for intracellular water (ICW) as a proxy of muscle mass among patients with kidney failure in whom creatinine clearance should minimally influence serum concentration does not explain race- and ethnicity-dependent differences.

Background
Differences in serum creatinine concentration among groups defined by race and ethnicity have been ascribed to differences in muscle mass. We examined differences in serum creatinine by race and ethnicity in a cohort of patients receiving hemodialysis in whom creatinine elimination by the kidney should have little or no effect on serum creatinine concentration and considered whether these differences persisted after adjustment for proxies of muscle mass.

Methods
We analyzed data from 501 participants in the A Cohort Study to Investigate the Value of Exercise in ESKD/Analyses Designed to Investigate the Paradox of Obesity and Survival in ESKD study who had been receiving hemodialysis for >1 year. We examined the independent associations among race and ethnicity (Black, Asian, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic), serum creatinine, and ICW (L/m2), a proxy for muscle mass, derived by whole-body multifrequency bioimpedance spectroscopy, using multivariable linear regression with adjustment for several demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics. We examined the association of race and ethnicity with serum creatinine concentration with and without adjustment for ICW.

Results
Black, Asian, and Hispanic patients had higher serum creatinine concentrations (+1.68 mg/dl [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09 to 2.27], +1.61 mg/dl [95% CI, 0.90 to 2.32], and +0.83 [95% CI, 0.08 to 1.57], respectively) than non-Hispanic White patients. Overall, ICW was associated with serum creatinine concentration (0.26 mg/dl per L/m2 ICW; 95% CI, 0.006 to 0.51) but was not statistically significantly different by race and ethnicity. Black, Asian, and Hispanic race and ethnicity remained significantly associated with serum creatinine concentration after adjustment for ICW.

Conclusion
Among patients receiving dialysis, serum creatinine was higher in Black, Asian, and Hispanic patients than in non-Hispanic White patients. Differences in ICW did not explain the differences in serum creatinine concentration across race groups.

Abstract
Recurrence intervals of ground-surface rupturing earthquakes are one of numerous datasets used to constrain the rates of fault ruptures in the 2022 revision of the New Zealand National Seismic Hazard Model (NZ NSHM 2022). Paleoearthquake timing and single-event displacement (SED) data in the New Zealand Paleoseismic Site Database version 1.0 alongside geologic and geodetic slip rates from the New Zealand Community Fault Model version 1.0 and NZ NSHM 2022 Geodetic Deformation Model were used to estimate recurrence intervals on faults across New Zealand for inclusion in the NZ NSHM 2022. Past earthquake timings were fit with lognormal, exponential, and Brownian Passage Time recurrence models to derive probability density functions (PDFs) of mean recurrence interval (MRI) in a Bayesian framework. At some sites, SED and slip-rate (SR) data were used to estimate PDFs of MRI; and at sites where timings, slip rate, and displacement data are available, the timings-based and slip-based PDFs were combined to develop tighter constraints on MRI. Using these approaches, we produce a database of maximum-likelihood MRIs and their uncertainties for 80 sites across New Zealand. The resulting recurrence interval dataset is publicly available and is the largest such dataset in New Zealand to date. It provides a valuable resource for future seismic hazard modeling and highlights areas that would benefit from future study.
Risk Factors Associated with Colistin-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii Infection
Authors: Hae-Sun Chung  , Chorong Hahm  , Miae Lee  
Published: October 2023

Acinetobacter baumannii is an important cause of healthcare-associated infections and is resistant to almost all antimicrobial agents, with strains recently reported to be resistant to colistin. In this study, we aimed to identify the risk factors associated with colistin-resistant A. baumannii infections by comparing colistin-resistant and -susceptible A. baumannii isolates. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 51 and 100 cases in which colistin-resistant and -susceptible A. baumannii were isolated, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that compared with patients with colistin-sensitive infections, patients with colistin-resistant A. baumannii infections had a combined pulmonary disease (P = 0.017), were admitted to intensive care unit (P = 0.020), and had prior mechanical ventilation (P = 0.003), tracheostomy (P = 0.043), percutaneous drainage (P = 0.070), hemodialysis (P = 0.002); use of colistin (P = 0.000), carbapenem (P = 0.000), and teicoplanin (P =0.004); and co-infection (P = 0.035). Multivariate analysis indicated that eight variables were related to the likelihood of colistin-resistant A. baumannii infections: use of teicoplanin (odds ratio [OR]: 3.140, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.529–18.650), prior hemodialysis (OR: 2.722, 95% CI: 0.851–8.709),combined pulmonary disease (OR: 2.286, 95% CI: 0.998–5.283), prior use of carbapenem (OR: 0.199, 95% CI: 0.863–5.603), co-infection (OR: 1.706, 95% CI: 0.746–3.898), prior mechanical ventilation (OR: 1.614, 95% CI, 0.684–3.809), intensive care unit admission (OR: 1.387, 95% CI: 0.560–3.435), and prior tracheostomy (OR: 1.102, 95% CI: 0.344–3.527); however, no statistical differences were observed. Although colistin use could not be proven in multivariate analysis, the possibility of being a risk factor cannot be ruled out.
Case study on effects of the mandatory validation on bus commercial speed
Authors: Pronello Cristina , Gaborieau Jean-Baptiste , Rappazzo Valentina , Operti Valerio 
Published: October 2023

The paper aims to define the new operational requirements and procedures to allow the Gruppo Torinese Trasporti (Torino public transport company) to implement mandatory validation without negative impacts on both the company and the users. To this end, a four-step methodology has been put forward: a) choice of the reference route; b) sampling plan and data collection; c) data analysis design and model specification and d) definition and analysis of future scenarios. Attained results show an increase of commercial speed from 1.5% to 14.5%, and an increase of the proportion of total dwell time on total trip time from 1 to 13 points. The most unfavourable situation for the company would be banning people from boarding the bus/tram through any door (the case today). Indeed, it would require an increase of trips in the morning peak hour in order to maintain the same time interval at bus stops. However, the impact on passengers’ travel time is non negligible since total vehicle trip time shows a rise of up to 10 minutes during weekends shifts (from 62 minutes in the current situation to 72 minutes for the worst case scenario). Thus, the present system limits the outcomes negatively for the users in terms of waiting time. However, a change could lead to such positive consequences as fuller passenger cooperation to validate tickets/passes and a more ordered boarding, thus reducing fraud and improving the image of the company.
Multichannel queueing behaviour in urban bicycle traffic
Authors: Kucharski Rafał , Drabicki Arkadiusz , Żyłka Klaudia , Szarata Andrzej 
Published: October 2023

The objective of this paper is to propose a method to analyse and describe cyclists’ behaviour at signalized intersections with specific focus on the multichannel (multi-lane) queue phenomenon. As we observed, cyclists form queues without a fixed-lane and FIFO discipline, for which the classical, car-oriented analytical approach becomes insufficient. Cyclists’ multichannel queueing behaviour is common and characterized by substantial degree of variability, especially in case of shorter queues which emerge regularly at cycle crossings. Although cyclist behaviour has been widely studied by transportation research community, their queueing behaviour picture is still incomplete. Namely, there is no method addressed to analyse the full scope of these phenomena and to quantify their impact on the cyclist queue performance. To bridge this gap, we introduce the technique to observe multichannel queues and report relevant observations, which we then complement with a methodological framework to analyse obtained results and provide a complete multichannel queue description. We video-record cyclists as they enqueue to one of multiple channels, form the queue and smoothly merge into a single lane again as the queue discharges. We apply the method to analyse results from a pilot study of 160 cyclists forming 50 queues in the city of Krakow, Poland. The proposed method allows us to analyse and quantify the observed queue performance and its characteristics: the number of channels, their emergence process, channel and queue lengths, discharge process with FIFO violations, starting and discharging times. Findings from pilot study reveal that both queue length and discharge times strongly depend on queue formation process. The contribution of this paper is the method to describe multichannel cyclist queueing behaviour, enriching current picture of bicycle flow and cyclists’ behaviour. Since the method has been developed on relatively short queues (up to 10 cyclists), findings included in this paper primarily refer to such queue sizes. Nonetheless, the method is formulated in a generic way, applicable also for longer bicycle queues. Possible practical implications are new estimates for queue lengths and discharge times - useful for bicycle infrastructure design and traffic engineering purposes.
The double-bind of competitive funding: Exploring the consequences of state-funded bidding processes in a locally managed cycling infrastructure project
Authors: White Chris , Bloyce Daniel , Thurston Miranda 
Published: October 2023

In an era of sustained budget cuts, England’s local authorities are increasingly forced to ‘apply’ for infrastructure funding via competitive bidding processes. However, we currently know little about how this method of funding impacts implementation. Accordingly, we consider the consequences of competitive funding by exploring the constraints associated with implementing infrastructure under the state-funded Cycling Demonstration Towns programme. This was achieved via a case study in Chester, a city that was unable to deliver the ambitions of their bid. This study was informed by figurational sociology in order to focus on relational processes. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with personnel involved in the planning and implementation of the project. The key findings were: (1) participants considered the bidding process to be akin to a ‘beauty contest’ where authorities were consciously making fantasy-laden promises in order to ‘impress’ the awards panel; (2) those involved in the bid did not consult key delivery parties, many of whom held car-centric predispositions, until funding was secured, and this led to complications in the delivery process; (3) during project implementation as the chains of interdependency of those involved widened, several unintended outcomes emerged which contributed to the two ‘flagship’ infrastructure proposals being halted; (4) this led to an intervention package that was heavily weighted towards promotional, or ‘soft’, interventions. Theoretical insight from this study suggests that competitive funding is likely to encourage authorities to present bids that are largely detached from the realities of implementing infrastructure, thus leading to difficulties once funding has been awarded.
