Military alliance and international trade: Evidence from NATO enlargement
Authors: Li Bing , Ge Yixuan , Lin Yi‐min 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper exploits the three eastward expansions of NATO after the Cold War as a quasi‐natural experiment to investigate the relationship between military alliance and trade. To identify the impact of alliance membership on trade, we adopt the difference‐in‐differences method to estimate a gravity model with global bilateral trade data from 1995 to 2015. The results show that joining NATO has a positive effect on new member countries' exports, as well as an enhancing effect on both imports and exports between old and new members. Further analysis of subdivided data reveals that formal alliance between old and new members boosts bilateral trade of security‐sensitive products, facilitates specialisation and helps mitigate trade disputes, suggesting that deepening of mutual strategic trust is a possible channel of influence.
Freiheit, Gnade und das Kind auf der einsamen Insel
Authors: Breul Martin 
Published: July 2023

Zusammenfassung
Die umstrittene Verhältnisbestimmung von Freiheit und Gnade ist ein Dauerbrenner der ökumenischen Theologie. In diesem Artikel rekonstruiere und kritisiere ich einige katholisch-theologische Kompromissvorschläge der letzten Jahre und versuche im Anschluss an die jüngsten Erkenntnisse der evolutionären Anthropologie mit Blick auf die kindliche Ontogenese eine ›Naturgeschichte der Freiheit‹ zu erzählen. Es ist die Perspektive einer Entwicklungstheorie des Kindes, die einen innovativen Blick auf das Gnade-Freiheits-Problem bietet: Gerade weil sich Freiheit der Interaktion mit Anderen verdankt, ist sie keine reine, kontextenthobene Autonomie, sondern immer geschichtlich verwurzelt. Das vorgängige Gnadenhandeln Gottes zeigt sich in der Verdanktheit der Freiheit, die wiederum notwendig ist, um innerweltliche Erfahrungen in einem Kontext des Glaubens zu deuten. Eine Naturgeschichte der Freiheit ermöglicht also ein Zueinander von Gnade und Freiheit, die es ermöglicht, beide nicht als in Konkurrenz stehend, sondern als sich wechselseitig bedingend zu begreifen.

Abstract
We consider the pilot zones for green finance reform and innovation (PZGFRI) set up in 2017 as a quasi-natural experiment, and we adopt the synthetic control method (SCM) to evaluate the possible policy effects of the PZGFRI on the energy consumption structure (ECS) based on panel data from 30 provincial-level administrative regions from 2013 to 2019. The empirical results reveal that the PZGFRI set-up plays a key role in influencing the ECS. The PZGFRI policy significantly optimizes the ECS in both Zhejiang and Guizhou Provinces, with the investigative result in Guizhou Province being better than that in Zhejiang Province. Meanwhile, ranking, placebo, and robustness tests were still valid. This study contributes to a better understanding of the effectiveness of China’s PZGGRI policy on the ECS.

Abstract

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent disorder characterized by recurrent episodic upper airway obstruction. In a dataset from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), we applied principal component analysis (PCA) on seven measures characterizing SDB-associated respiratory events. We estimated the association of the top two SDB PCs with serum levels of 617 metabolites, in both single-metabolite analysis, and a joint, penalized regression analysis using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO). Discovery analysis included n = 3,299 HCHS/SOL individuals; associations were validated in a separate dataset of n = 1,522 HCHS/SOL individuals. Seven metabolite associations with SDB PCs were discovered and replicated. Metabolite risk scores (MRSs) developed based on LASSO association results and representing metabolite signatures associated with the two SDB PCs were associated with 6-year incident hypertension and incident diabetes. MRSs have the potential to serve as biomarkers for SDB, guiding risk stratification and treatment decisions.

Abstract

Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic illness with numerous psychological complications such as depression, and pain sense.Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni(stevia) is well-recognized due to its sweet taste and beneficial activities in blood glucose modulation. This study aimed to examine the effects of Stevia and Nano-stevia on the modulation of depression and pain behaviors in male diabetic rats. Methods Type 2 diabetes mellitus was produced via a single intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). Depression and pain behaviors were assessed using the forced swim test (FST) and formalin test, respectively. Results The results showed that induction of diabetes leads to enhancement of blood glucose, immobility time in the FST, as well as the duration of flexing and licking behaviors both in the early and late phases of the formalin in male diabetic rats. Hence, induction of diabetes in male rats caused hyperglycemia, depressant-like effect, and hyperalgesic response which were reversed by drug treatment. Moreover, intra-gastrically administration of Stevia (1 ml/kg) and Nano-stevia (1 ml/kg) reversed the hyperglycemia, depressant-like effect, and hyperalgesic response in male diabetic rats. Interestingly, Nano-stevia showed the highest significant effect rather than Stevia. Conclusions The results of this study proposed the beneficial effects of Stevia and especially Nano-stevia on inducing anti-diabetic effects, antidepressant-like response, as well as the analgesic effects in male diabetic rats.

"Music education in Hungary has proven German roots. German textbooks and terminology were used in Hungary until the first decade of the 20th century, and German was the official language of music education. In this dissertation, we shall attempt to present the work and philosophy of Leo Kestenberg (1882-1962), and hereby an analogy with Kodály principles can	appear. The two prominent music pedagogical reformers of the 20th century formulated essentially similar goals on several points. This proves that not only the common roots, but also the reform measures of the 20th century form a strong bond between the music education of the two countries.

Automated recognition of the major muscle injury in athletes on X-ray CT images
Authors: Jia Wanping , Zhao Guangyong 
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: In this research, imaging techniques such as CT and X-ray are used to locate important muscles in the shoulders and legs. Athletes who participate in sports that require running, jumping, or throwing are more likely to get injuries such as sprains, strains, tendinitis, fractures, and dislocations. One proposed automated technique has the overarching goal of enhancing recognition. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine how to recognize the major muscles in the shoulder and leg utilizing X-ray CT images as its primary diagnostic tool. METHODS: Using a shape model, discovering landmarks, and generating a form model are the steps necessary to identify injuries in key shoulder and leg muscles. The method also involves identifying injuries in significant abdominal muscles. The use of adversarial deep learning, and more specifically Deep-Injury Region Identification, can improve the ability to identify damaged muscle in X-ray and CT images. RESULTS: Applying the proposed diagnostic model to 150 sets of CT images, the study results show that Jaccard similarity coefficient (JSC) rate for the procedure is 0.724, the repeatability is 0.678, and the accuracy is 94.9% respectively. CONCLUSION: The study results demonstrate feasibility of using adversarial deep learning and deep-injury region identification to automatically detect severe muscle injuries in the shoulder and leg, which can enhance the identification and diagnosis of injuries in athletes, especially for those who compete in sports that include running, jumping, and throwing.
Openess and Attention in the New Economy of the Social Media Era
Authors: Ardilla Yunda Presti 
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Changes in the communication media in the form of social and business interactions have brought people to changes in the new economic ecosystem, especially social media. Social media offers an economic ecosystem called attention economy. In contrast to the money economy, attention is more abstract and requires steps for financialization. However, it remains a rare and contested item in the digital world. Various ways are used to get the attention. One of them is by using openess. This article applies a qualitative approach with the descriptive case study strategy and interviews with selected informants in order to describe how a non-profit institution, in this case the Lembaga Pengelola Dana Pendidikan Republik Indonesia (LPDP RI) / Educational Fund Management Institution of the Republic of Indonesia, applied openess to social media to attract attention from its followers. The data were collected by in-depth interviews. This technique works by recording verbal statements of the research subjects and involving other persons to limit word flows, which are submitted by questions. As a result, the non-profit institution did not fully implement openess in social media. This resulted in non-optimal attention from the followers, namely stake holders, scholarship recipients, prospective scholarship recipients and public. It is suggested to other non-profit institutions to continuously apply openess in order to obtain benefits in the form of attention optimally.

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to identify available polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) models of care (MoCs) and describe their characteristics and alignment with the international PCOS guideline.MethodsOvid MEDLINE, All EBM, PsycINFO, Embase, and CINAHL were searched from inception until 11 July 2022. Any study with a description of a PCOS MoC was included. Non-evidence-based guidelines, abstracts, study protocols, and clinical trial registrations were excluded. We also excluded MoCs delivered in research settings to minimize care bias. Meta-analysis was not performed due to heterogeneity across MoCs. We describe and evaluate each MoC based on the recommendations made by the international evidence-based guideline for assessing and managing PCOS.ResultsOf 3,671 articles, six articles describing five MoCs were included in our systematic review. All MoCs described a multidisciplinary approach, including an endocrinologist, dietitian, gynecologist, psychologist, dermatologist, etc. Three MoCs described all aspects of PCOS care aligned with the international guideline recommendations. These include providing education on long-term risks, lifestyle interventions, screening and management of emotional well-being, cardiometabolic diseases, and the dermatological and reproductive elements of PCOS. Three MoCs evaluated patients’ and healthcare professionals’ satisfaction, with generally positive findings. Only one MoC explored the impact of their service on patients’ health outcomes and showed improvement in BMI.ConclusionThere is limited literature describing PCOS MoCs in routine practice. Future research should explore developing cost-effective co-created multidisciplinary PCOS MoCs globally. This may be facilitated by the exchange of best practices between institutions with an established MoC and those who are interested in setting one up.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=346539, identifier CRD42022346539.

Published: July 2023

BackgroundGPs in the UK are at increasing risk of burnout. Peer support (PS) is defined as resources provided by colleagues, such as informational or emotional support, which is either organisationally mandated (formal) or informal. PS has been described in the literature as a method of mitigating burnout. However, little is known about how GPs support one another and what optimises PS in primary care.AimTo explore what PS looks like between GPs and the moderators of PS in primary care.MethodFifteen GPs across England were purposively sampled to collect perspectives from locum and salaried GPs and GP partners. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed using inductive thematic analysis.ResultsFive major forms of PS in primary care were identified, relating to the emotional support, professional advice, sharing of workload, mentorship, and personal interactions GPs provided each other with. Four moderators of peer support were described: individual traits, interpersonal relationships, practice-specific (relating to the working culture within a specific practice), and occupational factors (intrinsic to primary care).ConclusionThis qualitative research fills a literature gap regarding moderating factors for engaging with PS in GPs and highlights the unique interactions of these factors. The proposition of a novel model to visualise the interplay of moderators provides basis for evidence-based interventions to test, target, and facilitate better PS in primary care.

Au cours de cette année (2021-2022), nous avons continué l’étude des versets qur’āniques ayant trait aux trois catégories taxinomiques que sont les Écritures (al-tawrāah, al-zabūr, al-inǧīl, al-ṣuḥuf al-ūlá), les Messagers (al-rusul, i.e. les apôtres de Dieu), et les peuples ayant reçu ou se réclamant des mêmes Messagers (par exemple al-yahūd, al-naṣārá, al-ṣābiʾūn, al-majūs). Nous nous sommes concentrés sur l’exégèse d’al-Ṭabarī (m. 310 h). En outre, nous avons lu des études sur la catégorie de la « tradition » et nous nous sommes engagés dans la théorie critique (spécifiquement, des critiques du sécularisme et de la catégorie de religion).

Published: July 2023

Background:
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in various biological processes, including cancer development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the expression differences of the BRAF-activated non-coding RNA (BANCR) gene in GC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The potential diagnostic significance of BANCR in GC was explored, with the aim of improving diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for this global health burden.

Materials and Methods:
Tissue samples from 100 gastric cancer (GC) patients were collected, and BANCR expression was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. Correlations between BANCR expression and clinicopathological features were assessed, and its biomarker potential was evaluated.

Results:
In individuals diagnosed with GC, the expression of BANCR was notably elevated in tumor tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.0001). However, the analysis of gene expression data did not demonstrate any statistically significant correlation between elevated BANCR expression and clinicopathological features. According to the ROC analysis, BANCR demonstrated an AUC of 0.6733 (P < 0.0001), with a sensitivity of 73% and a specificity of 45%. However, further evaluation is required to determine its potential as a biomarker (CI 95% = 0.5992 to 0.7473).

Conclusions:
The observed upregulation of BANCR in GC tissues implies its potential involvement as an oncogenic lncRNA in GC patients. Furthermore, BANCR may serve as a promising biomarker for identification and treatment of GC.

Published: July 2023

Purpose: Teleconferencing, a mode of organizational and informal group communication, has become so dominant in the epidemic era that it impacts highly on organizational functions. This descriptive study carried out among teleconferencing users in Kanifing Municipal Council of The Gambia sought to investigate the respondents’ perceptions of the prevalence of the practice of disengaging during teleconferencing, the reasons why people disengage during teleconferencing, the gender dimension to disengaging during teleconferencing and how participants can be kept actively engaged during teleconferencing.
Methodology: Both the quantitative and qualitative survey methods were adopted. 77 people responded to the questionnaire. In-depth interviews were also conducted with 5 frequent users of teleconferencing platforms.
Findings: The results show that the practice of disengagement during teleconferencing is highly prevalent. 52 percent of the respondents admitted that they don’t listen all through the teleconferencing events; 76.1 percent have got up at one time or the other to attend to other issues; 19.7 percent have got up more than 20 times to attend to other issues; and 81.3 percent of the participants have experienced situations where participants stayed signed in even though they were no longer in the meeting. Major reasons given for participants’ disengagement include internet accessibility, cited by 40.5 percent of the respondents; distraction, cited by 40.4 percent. 14.4 percent of the respondents cited the fact that participants have the confidence that others in the meeting will be unaware of their disengagement. This claim was also buttressed by 4 of the key informants during the in-depth interview. Most of the respondents, 87 percent, were of the view that females disengage more often than males. 60 percent of those who express this view gave engagement with domestic chores as the reason for this. Ways suggested to keep participants engaged include ensuring meeting adopt the participatory mode, suggested by 24.3 percent of the respondents; solving internet issues of instability, suggested by 24.3percent; demanding that participants keep on their videos, suggested by 17.1 percent; ensuring meeting schedules and timing are favourable, suggested by 15.7 percent and lowering internet data costs, suggested by 7.1 percent.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study concludes that disengagement during teleconferencing is highly prevalent, distractions and internet problems of connectivity and affordability are major reasons for disengagement and organisers of teleconferencing must control for these factors. It is recommended that organisations offer their staff gadgets for internet access; the government on its own part should explore all means possible to ensure internet stability in the Gambia.
Những Phụ Nữ Thừa Hưởng Gia Nghiệp Thi Hành Thánh Ý Chúa – Phân Tích Đoạn DS 36, 1-13
Authors: Nguyễn Văn Đức 
Published: July 2023

Khi chuẩn bị tiến vào vùng đất hứa Canaan, Thiên Chúa đã truyền cho ông Mô-sê bắt thăm để phân chia đất đai làm gia nghiệp cho các chi tộc. Phần hai của sách dân số dành hầu hết nội dung để mô tả lại việc phân chia đất đai này. Theo Lời Chúa và dựa vào số liệu của cuộc kiểm tra dân số, ông Mô-sê chia đất cho các gia trưởng của các thị tộc con cái Ít-ra-en. Tuy nhiên, gia tộc của ông Xơ-lóp-khát lại không có đàn ông hay con trai để nhận số gia nghiệp ấy. Các con gái của ông Xơ-lóp-khát đã khiếu nại ông Mô-sê để xin cho gia tộc mình được thừa hưởng một phần gia nghiệp từ người cha đã chết mà không có con trai nối dõi. Con gái của ông Xơ-lóp-khát đã được chia gia nghiệp như các gia đình khác trong thị tộc. Tuy nhiên câu chuyện vẫn chưa kết thúc ở đó, khi các gia trưởng của thị tộc sợ mất đi sự toàn vẹn gia nghiệp của thị tộc vì con gái ông Xơ-lóp-khát sẽ đi lấy chồng. Bài viết sau đây sẽ phân tích đoạn Ds 36,1-13 để làm sáng tỏ những người con gái ông Xơ-lóp-khát đón nhận gia nghiệp của Thiên Chúa như thế nào? Abstract When preparing to enter the promised land of Canaan, God instructed Moses to take a census in order to divide the land and allocate inheritances to the various tribes. The second part of the book of Numbers mainly focuses on describing this division of the land. According to the word of God and based on the census data, Moses divided the land among the elders of the clans of the Israelites. However, the clan of Zelophehad had no male heirs to inherit their portion of land. The daughters of Zelophehad approached Moses and requested that their clan be given a share of the inheritance since their father had died without leaving any sons. The daughters of Zelophehad were granted an inheritance like other families within their tribe. However, the story doesn't end there, as the clan elders were concerned that if the daughters of Zelophehad married men from other tribes, the integrity of their tribe's inheritance would be compromised. The following article will analyze Numbers 36:1-13 to clarify how the daughters of Zelophehad received their inheritance from God.
