Published: September 2023

Purpose: Vocational education and training is important to produce skilled and innovative labor to drive the country's development in the 4th industrial revolution (IR 4.0). The employability of vocational college students is crucial to meet the country's demand for 21st-century workers. This study aims to identify the influences of innovative characteristics, work readiness, and vocational self-concept on the employability of vocational college students. The study also examined the moderating role of gender. Methods: A quantitative correlational design was carried out to achieve the objectives of the study. The samples consisted of 395 vocational college students from five vocational colleges located in the states of Kedah and Penang, Malaysia. Data were collected through online questionnaire survey, which is made up of four instruments: Youth Innovation Skills Measurement Tool, the Work Readiness Scale, the Vocational Rational Scale and the Perceived Future Employability Scale. The validity and reliability of these instruments were well established. Descriptive and structural equation modelling (SEM) analyses were carried out. Findings: Innovative characteristics (β = 0.252, t = 5.041, p < 0.001), vocational self-concept (β = 0.386, t = 7.131, p < 0.001) and work readiness (β = 0.219, t = 3.787, p < 0.001) had significant effects on employability of vocational college students. The model explained 53% of the variance in employability. Gender, however, did not moderate any of the three direct significant relationships. Conclusion: This study found that innovative characteristics, work readiness, and vocational self-concept are factors that should be taken into consideration when developing education and career programs, interventions, and support services for vocational students. The graduate employment issues faced by vocational college students can be overcome if factors identified in this study can be enhanced. Similar approaches can be applied for both male and female students since gender is not a significant moderator. Overall, this study sheds light on the employability of vocational graduates and contributes towards improving career guidance and counseling practices for vocational students.
La presencia de las humanidades en las carreras de odontología de las universidades de Chile y de España
Authors: Soto-Araya Milena , Baños Josep E. , Moyano Elisabeth , Pérez Jorge 
Published: September 2023

Se ha argumentado que la presencia de materias humanísticas permite una formación integral de los alumnos, lo que fomentaría en última instancia una mejor relación con los futuros pacientes y, por tanto, contribuiría a mejorar la salud de la población. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en investigar la presencia de contenidos humanísticos en los grados de Odontología de las universidades de Chile y de España.
Se encontró que en todas las universidades existen materias humanísticas que complementan la formación disciplinar de los graduados. Si bien se encontraron diferencias entre las universidades chilenas y españolas, las materias relacionadas con contenidos éticos, históricos y con el profesionalismo son ofrecidas por la gran mayoría de las universidades de los dos países. Por otra parte, la presencia de materias relacionadas con la literatura o con las artes plásticas, visuales y escénicas fue escasa, muy minoritaria en España y nula en Chile.
Se aboga por aumentar la presencia de la formación humanística en los graduados de odontología, no solamente a partir de asignaturas específicas, sino introduciendo contenidos humanísticos en las materias troncales de formación técnica odontológica.

Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION:
Data suggest atherosclerotic-related inflammation may play a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but large-scale studies are missing.

METHODS:
In this nationwide case-control study, we used the Swedish Patient Register and the Epidemiology Strengthened by histoPathology Reports in Sweden cohort to identify adult cases of incident IBD between 2002 and 2021, with each case matched to up to 10 general population controls. We used conditional logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (OR) for exposure to an atherosclerotic-related condition (myocardial infarction, thromboembolic stroke, or atherosclerosis itself) before being diagnosed with IBD.

RESULTS:
There were a total of 56,212 individuals with IBD and 531,014 controls. Of them, 2,334 (4.2%) cases and 18,222 (3.4%) controls had a prior diagnosis of an atherosclerotic-related condition, corresponding to an OR of 1.30 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.24–1.37). Results were statistically significant for both Crohn's disease (OR 1.37, 95% CI 1.26–1.48) and ulcerative colitis (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.20–1.35) and for individuals who developed IBD at 40–59 years of age and 60 years or older. In addition, associations persisted when adjusting for underlying comorbidities, including the presence of immune-mediated diseases and prior aspirin and/or statin use. The highest odds of an atherosclerotic-related condition were seen in the 6–12 months before IBD diagnosis, though odds were increased even ≥5 years before. A higher magnitude of odds was also observed when having 2 or more atherosclerotic-related conditions when compared with having only 1 condition.

DISCUSSION:
A history of an atherosclerotic-related condition is associated with increased odds of developing IBD, particularly among older adults. Future studies should investigate whether drugs targeting atherosclerotic-related inflammation may prevent IBD in higher-risk individuals.
A prognostic signature based on seven T-cell-related cell clustering genes in bladder urothelial carcinoma

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is one of the most common cancer-related deaths in the world, along with high mortality. Due to the difficult detection of early symptoms, the treatment for this disease is still dissatisfactory. Thus, the current research hotspot is beginning to focus on the immune microenvironment in this disease, aiming to provide guidance for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, the single-cell RNA sequencing data downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database was used to classify the immune cells of BLCA. And the final seven T-cell-related cell clustering genes associated with BLCA prognosis (HSPA2, A2M, JUN, PDGFRB, GBP2, LGALS1, and GAS6) were screened out, and then used for constructing the prognostic model against BLCA based on the Cox and LASSO regression analysis. Satisfactorily, the model could efficiently evaluate the overall survival of BLCA and had the potential to be applied for the clinic treatment. Moreover, we also revealed that the difference in immune infiltration levels and gene mutation might account for the diverse prognosis in BLCA patients. In a word, our findings provided a novel insight for designing efficient immunotherapies for BLCA.

The reciprocal linear effect, a new optical effect of the Sagnac type
Authors: Spavieri Gianfranco , Haug Espen Gaarder 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The Sagnac effect can be demonstrated with light propagating either along a circular contour or, as done by Wang et al., back and forth along a linear contour. In the linear Sagnac effect, the emitter–receiver device is in motion relative to the contour where light propagates. In the reciprocal linear Sagnac effect (RLSE), the device is stationary and the contour is in motion. When the contour changes direction of motion, some special features of the linear Sagnac effect are not fully reciprocal to the RLSE, which foresees variations of the first order in

in the round-trip time taken by a light signal to cover the contour. The RLSE can be tested with present technology and, if confirmed experimentally, it might have interesting technological applications. Presently, it can be important for testing light-speed invariance, simultaneity, and the relativity principle.
New Considerations on the Relationship between Predynastic Spiral-Patterned D-Ware Pottery and Breccia Vessels. The Contribution of an Unpublished Vessel from the Macquarie University History Museum (MU5038)
Authors: Khalifa Eman 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Based on a comparable color scheme, Naqada II decorated pottery (D-ware) with spiral motifs is often described as an imitation of breccia stone vessels. Using MU5038 as an example, this article traced the time line of development for both during Naqada II. Results indicated that pottery with spiral motifs did not appear as an imitation of stone vessels, as previously thought. This article proposed that they appeared earlier with breccia vessels following as luxurious versions. The latter point could be justified by the need of the rising elite of the period to use raw materials, whose sources they controlled. Stone quarries being located outside of the Nile Valley allowed for this control. In an attempt to explain the sudden occurrence and significance of spiral motifs on D-ware pottery, this article uses analogy and “ethnographic imagination” (Lane 2005) to shed light on the origins of spiral motifs in different cultures.
Split Inalienable Coding in linguistic Wallacea: typology, origins, spread
Authors: Arnold Laura 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper is a typological survey of inalienable possessive constructions in the linguistic area of Wallacea and its surrounds. In a sample of 189 Austronesian and non-Austronesian languages, 13 have a phenomenon not previously recognised in the theoretical or typological literature: Split Inalienable Coding (SIC), whereby a language has two or more possessive coding strategies that are closely or exclusively associated with expressing inalienable possession. This paper focusses on semantically conditioned splits, where minimally one strategy encodes the possession of body parts, and another the possession of kin terms. Geographically, all of the sampled languages with semantic SIC are located in Wallacea; special attention is therefore given to the development of split inalienables in this region. In most of these languages, SIC has developed very recently. I argue that there have been multiple causes of SIC: Austronesian languages are predisposed to develop SIC, due to the inheritance of a structurally defined class of kin terms that favours the distinction; and contact has also played a role in Northwest New Guinea, with SIC diffusing both across and within genealogical groupings.
Universalitätsansprüche – Verbandsvertreter in der deutsch-französischen Wirtschaftsdiplomatie der 20er und frühen 30er Jahre
Authors: Müller Philipp 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In the 20s and 30s German and French representatives of entrepreneurial interests often changed from the civil service to the management of business associations. In their new function, they were responsible for bringing their members’ interests to a common ground. In this context, they claimed to speak on behalf of the overall national economic cause. This strategy was due to the attempt to legitimize their coordination efforts through symbolic capital that lent itself to the justification of state officials. However, their proposals often met with resistance by members. In practice, their claim to represent the overall national economic interest only became effective as soon as their role was legitimized by the state. Such a situation emerged during the Great Depression when Franco-German economic relations were being renegotiated. Ironically, the actions of former state officials in the service of the private sector thus gained power precisely when the delegation of economic diplomatic tasks to business representatives tended to erase the boundary between state and economy.
Vom Röhren-Manager zum Verteidigungs-Staatssekretär und zurück: Der mehrfache Seitenwechsel von Ernst Wolf Mommsen
Authors: Hesse Jan-Otmar 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Ernst Wolf Mommsen (1910–1979) was one of the best-known steel managers of the old German Federal Republic. In 1970 he was recruited as an under-secretary of state by the Federal Ministry of Defence with responsibility for armaments and procurement and returned to industry in 1973 as Chairman of Friedrich Krupp GmbH. Based on extensive archival research, the article examines the background to this twofold switch through the «revolving door». The focus is on the question of whether Mommsen’s entrepreneurial activity could be used successfully in the state administration. Furthermore, the meaning of this revolving door phenomenon with respect to the entanglement of politics and industry in the German Federal Republic of the 70s will be discussed.
Graves of the early medieval nomads from the eastern Azov region
Authors: Sokolov Pavel , Gulyás Bence 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDescribed and discussed here are the “nomadic” burials of two sites, Serbin and Udarnyi (Krasnodar Krai, Russia). A total of four graves were found at the former Serbin site, while an early medieval grave dug into a prehistoric kurgan was excavated at Udarnyi. The burials broadly date from the fourth–seventh centuries AD on the basis of their poor grave inventories and are culturally related to the so-called post-Hunnic- and Sivashovka-type burials. Three burials contained the skulls and limbs of various domestic animals, indicating that the animals had been skinned. “Head and hooves” deposits were quite common in early medieval Eastern Europe. There are several different traditions of skinning, indicating different cultural traditions. The study describes the burials and their finds, and presents their regional parallels.

Published: September 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of Twin Block and Forsus on the Posterior Airway Passage (PAP) and Posterior pharyngeal wall Thickness (PPWT) in the treatment of Class II division 1 malocclusion. This was a 2-arm parallel, randomized controlled trial. A total of 24 Class II division 1 malocclusion patients indicated for treatment with functional appliances were randomized and equally divided among Twin Block and Forsus (3M Unitek Corp, Monrovia, Calif) groups. Skeletal changes, PAP changes and PPWT were compared using Twin Block and Forsus. Block randomization was determined by a computer-generated random number table. Blinding was performed for both participants and data analyser. 24 patients were analysed and statistical analysis were carried out using Student’s t-test and T test of Equality of Means (P &#60;0.05). Significant increase in oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal dimensions with no dimensional changes of nasopharynx, dimensional changes in soft palate thickness and length, and decompensatory action in thickness in the posterior pharyngeal wall was seen with both the appliances. On intergroup comparison insignificant results were observed between both the appliances indicating similar effect on PAP and PPWT. Both Twin Block and Forsus are effective in improving PAP and PPWT while correcting Class II malocclusion.
What slows the women manager\'s advancement to leadership roles in corporate India – A review of organisational barriers
Authors: Nair Vidya 
Published: September 2023

Successful organisations have identified the need for a gender-diverse and inclusive work culture which will enable them to deliver the desired results effectively. There are fewer women seen at the leadership level in organisations across almost all industry sectors. Gender-diverse boards and top management are the need of the hour. There are a complex set of factors identified to be impacting the progress of women managers to leadership positions. This paper proposes to examine the various organisational barriers which impact women workers at their workplace and is slowing their career advancement based on previous studies and literature available on the subject.This study finds that gender stereotypes and gender inequality are crucial aspects impacting women in the workplace. This manifests in several aspects of the organisation such as in its structure, culture, and policies, as male dominant hierarchy, training and mentoring challenges, and networking aspects. The methodology adopted was to review articles from journals, newspapers, and company reports and map them to these factors.

Amaç: Anesteziye bağlı morbidite ve mortalite nedenlerinden bir tanesi zor ve/veya başarısız entübasyondur. Havayolu muayenesinin zor havayolu (ZH) varlığını öngörmedeki rolü bilinmekle birlikte, ameliyat öncesi dönemde bu amaçla kullanılan testlerin özgüllüğü yüksek, ancak özgünlüğü düşüktür. Bu çalışmada, genel anestezi altında cerrahi tedavi uygulanacak komorbiditesi yüksek bir hasta popülasyonunda, preoperatif havayolu değerlendirmesi ile öngörülen ve öngörülemeyen zor havayolu olgularını belirlemek, karşılaştırmak ve zor entübasyon için olası risk faktörlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Jinekolojik onkoloji cerrahisi için genel anestezi uygulanan, 18 yaş ve üzeri, toplam 162 hasta prospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi. Preoperatif havayolu incelemeleri sonrasında; Basitleştirilmiş Havayolu Risk İndeksi (Simplified Airway Risk Index: SARI)’ne göre, ZH öngörülen ve öngörülemeyen olgular belirlendi. Endotrakeal entübasyon sonrasında Entübasyon Zorluk Skalası (Intubation Difficulty Scale: IRS)’na göre entübasyonu zor olan ve olmayan olgular gruplandırıldı, ZH’na neden olan etmenler ortaya konuldu
Bulgular: SARI’ya göre toplam 162 hastanın 32’si (%19,75) ZH öngörülen, 130’u (%80,25) ise ZH öngörülemeyen olarak değerlendirildi. Entübasyon sonrasında IRS’ye göre 59 (%36,4) olguda zor entübasyon varlığı kayıt edildi. Boyun uzunluk ölçümü (p60 yaş; p=0.006) ve kronik hastalık varlığında (p=0.032) ZH ile karşılaşılma ihtimalinin arttığı da izlendi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile preoperatif hasta değerlendirmesinde kullanılan Mallampati skoru, boyun uzunluk ölçümü, tiromental mesafe ve ön kesici dişlerin uzun olmasının ZH varlığını etkileyen en önemli etmenler olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ameliyat öncesi dönemde yapılacak özenli havayolu muayenesinin ZH yönetimi için planlama yapılmasına olanak sağladığı düşünülmektedir.

El trabajo que presentamos versa sobre un tema tan apasionante como poco abordado en los diferentes niveles educativos. Se trata de la muerte y de cómo se puede trabajar desde un enfoque didáctico. La pérdida es algo con lo que lidiamos a lo largo de nuestras vidas. La forma de afrontar las pérdidas y la preparación del duelo tiene que ver con la cultura en la que hemos sido socializados desde pequeños. Comenzar con pequeñas intervenciones didácticas con los docentes que se están formando como futuros maestros es un magnífico inicio formativo para “asegurar” que, en el futuro, tanto en Primaria como en Secundaria, exista una verdadera didáctica de la muerte y del duelo. El objetivo de este trabajo es establecer una pedagogía socioeducativa de la muerte que propicie que los futuros educadores dispongan de bases epistemológicas y didácticas suficientes para realizar un trabajo multidimensional sobre la pérdida y el duelo con sus futuros alumnos. Para ello realizamos una serie de acciones didácticas y una investigación-acción a partir de un cuestionario validado con preguntas abiertas en función de dichas acciones.AbstractThe work that we present deals with a topic that is as exciting as it is little addressed at different educational levels. It is about death and how it can be worked from a didactic approach. Loss is something we deal with throughout our lives. The way of coping with losses and preparing for grief has to do with the culture in which we have been socialized since childhood. Beginning with small didactic interventions with teachers who are being trained as future teachers is a magnificent formative start to "ensure" that, in the future, both in Primary and Secondary, there is true didactics of death and mourning. The objective of this work is to establish a socio-educational pedagogy of death that encourages future educators to have sufficient epistemological and didactic bases to carry out multidimensional work on loss and mourning with their future students. For this, we carry out a series of didactic actions and an action-research based on a validated questionnaire with open questions based on said actions.
