IDENTIFICATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF INDIVIDUAL AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SALES MANAGERS WITH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Tokareva Y. , Polozov A. , Petuhova M. , Morohov N. 
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the study of personal characteristics of sales managers and their impact on the level of professional success.
A successful sales manager is the one that company executives are “hunting” for. He is offered a job on the most favorable terms for him. Due to the fact that: effectively leads the client through the sales funnel — from the first touch to the closing of the transaction; sells with minimal discounts or without them at all; launches word of mouth and motivates the client to bring new customers; gets pleasure from work; and after each sale, it strives to get even more customers, profits and drive.
The article examines the criteria and individual personal characteristics of managers and their relationship with the effectiveness of professional activity in sales.
Using the MBTI personality type testing methods and the I.D. Weisband test, the analysis of the sales managers’ abilities to motivate customers to purchase, taking into account their type of character, as well as the manager’s ability to justify the benefits of the purchase for the client based on his profile activities, was carried out.
The authors studied and formed the requirements of employers for sales managers, selected the necessary materials and testing methods, and also formed a model for selecting a sales manager based on the personality structure. Based on the data obtained, the positive impact of using a typological model of the personality structure in solving tasks for the selection of sales managers was revealed.
Peer support after exposure to trauma: an evaluation
Authors: Romano Vincent 
Published: July 2023

Background: There are various staff wellbeing programmes used across the emergency services. The British Military recognised single-session models were not effective and developed Trauma Risk Management (TRiM). A number of organisations now use TRiM as a peer-led traumatic stress support system, including the North West Ambulance Service. Aims: This evaluation aimed to identify engagement with TRiM across the North West Ambulance Service. Method: A combination of quantitative and qualitative data was analysed from those who engaged with TRiM. Findings: There was a perception that road traffic collision (RTC) and cardiac arrests would cause acute stress symptoms and require a TRiM assessment; this was validated by the uptake of assessments and referral to professional counselling following such incidents. Conclusion: TRiM can provide effective peer-delivered support across a large geographical workforce. Implementation and coordination are key to ensuring success.
Problems and possibilities for Swedish working-class literature in a neoliberal age
Authors: Gustafson Magnus 
Published: July 2023

In recent decades, inequality has increased in Sweden. The increasing gaps are connected with policies that are often called neoliberal. How does working-class literature relate to these social problems and what literary possibilities does it open up? In this article I discuss these questions based on some literary examples from Swedish contemporary working-class literature. These literary examples have attracted much attention. My perspective is that I see working-class literature as literature with a distinct use value and a literature that has specific functions in the working-class literature context (Felski, 2008).
Kristian Lundberg, Johan Jönson and Jenny Wrangborg all give personal accounts from workplaces. Such can be valuable. The problem with Lundberg and Jönson is that they tend to be introverted and egocentric. Especially Lundberg lacks the class perspective. Perhaps Lundberg’s Yarden (The Yard, 2009) should be described as confessional literature rather than working-class literature. With Susanna Alakoski the working-class is hidden behind the concept of poverty. The working-class as actor is absent. The labor movement as well. Instead, it is the middle class who appear as actor. Through the role of jester, Jönson makes class society visible. The role of jester could be seen as a specific rhetorical strategy and a literary device to create a distancing effect, or Verfremdungseffekt. Wrangborg connects to the legacy of early working-class literature with struggle poems. From within the workplace she describes work situations and experiences of class.
Emil Boss takes a close look at language and concepts in a postpolitical age when old concepts have changed meaning. It is a crucial task for working-class literature to explain, interpret and examine old concepts that have changed meaning in a new political era, when the labor movement has lost contact with previous ideals and social democratic governments pursue rightwing politics, thus making it difficult to distinguish between left and right.
Reframing context specificity in team diagnosis using the theory of distributed cognition
Authors: Boyle James G. , Walters Matthew R. , Jamieson Susan , Durning Steven J. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Context specificity refers to the vexing phenomenon whereby a physician can see two patients with the same presenting complaint, identical history and physical examination findings, but due to specific situational (contextual) factors arrives at two different diagnostic labels. Context specificity remains incompletely understood and undoubtedly leads to unwanted variance in diagnostic outcomes. Previous empirical work has demonstrated that a variety of contextual factors impacts clinical reasoning. These findings, however, have largely focused on the individual clinician; here we broaden this work to reframe context specificity in relation to clinical reasoning by an internal medicine rounding team through the lens of Distributed Cognition (DCog). In this model, we see how meaning is distributed amongst the different members of a rounding team in a dynamic fashion that evolves over time. We describe four different ways in which context specificity plays out differently in team-based clinical care than for a single clinician. While we use examples from internal medicine, we believe that the concepts we present apply equally to other specialties and fields in health care.
Cross-cultural differences in social capital and community resilience perceptions during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Zhang Xiaochen Angela , Borden Jonathan 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThrough online surveys, this study examined both cross-national (U.S. vs. China) and intra-national (i.e., community size) cultural differences in social capital and community resilience perceptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Across both U.S. and China, offline bonding social capital was found to be a crucial prerequisite for community resilience perceptions. Besides offline bonding, Chinese participants relied more on social media bridging social capital while U.S. participants relied more on social media bonding relationships to develop community resilience perceptions. Though the U.S. sample exhibited higher social capital, Chinese sample reported higher community resilience perceptions. Within each country, individual differences and community sizes made a difference in cultivating social capital and community resilience perceptions.
The language of Chaozhou songbooks
Authors: Snow Don , Liu Jiajia Eve 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In the pre-modern era, women in the Chaoshan region of southeastern China had a tradition of learning and performing long narrative songs. From the mid-1800s into the mid-1900s these songs were widely produced by local publishing houses in inexpensive woodblock print books called Teochew songbooks (Chaozhou gece 潮州歌册). These song texts made considerable use of the Teochew language. This paper discusses the history of Teochew songs and songbook publishing, and then examines the language used in one typical songbook, The Case of Haimen (Haimen An 海门案). The paper suggests that the use of different language varieties in the songbook texts is best viewed as a translanguaging phenomenon, as the songbook authors fluidly drew on different linguistic resources and integrated them into a creative genre with its own style, rather than keeping varieties separate for different functions (unlike some other pre-modern texts that use regional Chinese languages). The paper also argues that while the variety of Teochew used in the text has a poetic style which differs in some ways from spoken Teochew, when compared to other pre-modern texts that used regional Chinese languages, the language of the songbooks is relatively close to the norms of spoken Teochew. Finally, the paper argues that in many ways Teochew songbooks are quite typical of pre-modern Chinese texts that use regional languages; in fact, Teochew songbooks exhibit almost all of the distinguishing characteristics commonly found in such texts. In the pre-modern era, women in the Chaoshan region of southeastern China had a tradition of learning and performing long narrative songs. From the mid-1800s into the mid-1900s these songs were widely produced by local publishing houses in inexpensive woodblock print books called Teochew songbooks (Chaozhou gece) that made considerable use of the Teochew language.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The aim of this study was to examine the self-efficacy and healthy lifestyle behavior levels in adolescents with asthma.

Materials and methods
Socio-demographic questionnaire form, questions about adherence to asthma medication, asthma control test, healthy lifestyle behaviors scale, and self-efficacy scale for children and adolescents with asthma were administered to 150 patients whom age range between 12–18, in follow up with asthma in the pediatric allergy outpatient clinic.

Results
There was no statistically significant relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors scale and self-efficacy scale scores between adolescents with controlled and uncontrolled asthma. When patients were grouped regarding the treatment compliance, both healthy lifestyle behaviors scale and asthma self-efficacy scale scores were found to be higher in patients with treatment compliance. When the patients were grouped on the basis of gender, regular follow-up visits, and smoking, there was no significant difference between healthy lifestyle behaviors and self-efficacy scale scores.

Conclusions
The findings showed us the importance of the relationship between healthy living and adolescent self-efficacy in adherence to treatment, while there are many more components in asthma control.

Synchronous triple primary gastrointestinal malignant tumors treated with laparoscopic surgery: A case report
Authors: Jiang Wei , Zhang Genshan , Li Haijie , Xu Xiangshang , Jia Lingwei , Luo Xuelai , Cao Zhixin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Synchronous gastrointestinal multiple primary tumors including gastric, colonic, and rectal cancers are rare. Moreover, it was a challenge to find an appropriate procedure without negatively impacting the overall outcome. We described the case of a 63-year-old woman who presented with a 4 month history of upper abdominal pain, acid regurgitation, and anemia. Gastroscopy with biopsy suggested early cancer of gastric antrum. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computerized tomography and colonoscopy revealed ascending colon and rectum tumors. She had no family history of malignancy. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed for gastric cancer, and the pathological result presented that it was poorly differentiated and invaded into deep submucosa. The laparoscopy-assisted radical surgery combined with distal gastrectomy, right hemicolectomy, and anterior resection of rectum was performed for these three tumors via eight ports and a 7 cm midline upper-abdominal incision. No other perioperative complications were encountered except postoperative ileus. The patient was discharged on the 12th postoperative day. The pathological results revealed gastric cancer (T1N0M0), right colonic cancer (T3N1M0), and rectal cancer (T2N0M0), indicating complete surgical resection. We reported that our laparoscopic approach for synchronous triple primary gastrointestinal malignant tumors was feasible and minimally invasive.

HIV Tat-mediated altered oligodendrocyte maturation involves autophagy-lysosomal dysfunction
Authors: Tripathi Ashutosh , Periyasamy Palsamy , Guo Ming-Lei , Buch Shilpa 
Published: July 2023

Abstract

Objectives
The current study was undertaken to understand the underlying molecular mechanism(s) by which HIV Transactivator of transcription (Tat) alters oligodendrocyte maturation through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), impairment of lysosomal functioning, and dysregulation of autophagy.

Methods
We exposed primary rat immature oligodendrocytes to HIV Tat and utilized various experimental techniques to assess its effects on oligodendrocytes maturation. We measured ROS levels, assessed lysosomal membrane potential, determined cathepsin D activity, and analyzed the expression of autophagy-related markers. Furthermore, we investigated the potential of ROS scavengers and lysosomal protectants to mitigate the damaging effects of HIV Tat on oligodendrocytes maturation.

Results
Exposure of primary rat immature oligodendrocytes to HIV Tat significantly increased ROS levels, indicating the induction of oxidative stress. This oxidative stress impaired lysosomal functioning, as evidenced by a substantial increase in lysosomal membrane potential and a decrease in cathepsin D activity. Compromised lysosomal function resulted in dysregulated autophagy, which was confirmed by increased expression of SQSTM1. However, the administration of ROS scavengers and lysosomal protectants effectively attenuated the detrimental effects of HIV Tat on oligodendrocytes maturation.

Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that HIV Tat exposure induces oxidative stress, impairs lysosomal functioning, and dysregulates autophagy in oligodendrocytes. These molecular changes likely contribute to the altered maturation of oligodendrocytes observed in HIV-infected individuals. Understanding these underlying mechanisms provides valuable insights into the pathogenesis of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders and highlights the potential of therapeutic strategies targeting ROS scavenging and lysosomal protection as adjunctive approaches for managing such complications in HIV +ve individuals.
Synergistic effect of GMA and TMPTA as co-agent to adjust the branching structure of PLLA during UV-induced reactive extrusion
Authors: Chen Xi , Huang Wei-Tao , Yuan Bing-Yu , He Guang-Jian , Yin Xiao-Chun , Cao Xian-Wu 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this work, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and trimethylol propanetriacrylate (TMPTA) are employed to adjust the branching structure of poly L-lactide acid (PLLA) during reactive extrusion induced by UV irradiation. The reaction of GMA epoxide with terminal carboxyl or hydroxyl groups at PLLA chain end can introduce C=C groups onto PLLA molecular chains. Chain branching reaction occurred via the free-radical grafting reaction of the vinyl group in TMPTA with both PLLA backbone and the C=C group terminated PLLA induced by UV irradiation. As a result, varied branching levels can be obtained by changing the ratio of GMA and TMPTA. The characterizations of rheological properties and size exclusive chromatograph correlated to the chain branches were performed to evaluate the chain branching extent. The increases in shear viscosity and storage modulus at terminal zone, and the reduced branching degree were observed in the branched PLLA samples. The results from 1H-NMR and FIRT indicate that the grafting reaction of GMA onto PLLA take place successfully. Thus, this study proposes a strategy to adjust LCB-PLA structure using GMA and TMPTA as co-agents, which is of great importance for the industrialization of PLA products.
Microbial electrotechnology – Intensification of bioprocesses through the combination of electrochemistry and biotechnology
Authors: Stöckl Markus , Gemünde André , Holtmann Dirk 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Both biotechnological and electrochemical processes have economic and environmental significance. In particular, biotechnological processes are very specific and stable, while electrochemical processes are generally very atom-and energy-efficient. A combination of these processes is therefore a potentially important approach to intensify biotechnological processes. In this paper, the relevant options for process integration are presented, key performance indicators for quantitative evaluation are given, and an evaluation based on performance indicators is carried out using the example of the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to formate and the subsequent biotechnological conversion to the biopolymer polyhydroxybutyrate.
Analyzing the modulations induced in the mixed micellar behavior of 1-alkyl-3-butylimidazolium based surface-active ionic liquids with an antibiotic drug in aqueous media
Authors: Kaur Gagandeep , Kaur Ramanjeet , Kaur Jasmeet , Singh Harleen , Kumar Harsh , Sharma Pooja 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The study aims to scrutinize the mixed micellization and interfacial behavior of two 1-alkyl-3-butylimidazolium based surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) i.e., 1-decyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide [C10bim][Br] and 1-tetradecyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide [C14bim][Br] under the influence of streptomycin sulphate (SS) drug in 5 mM concentration in aqueous media. Imidazolium-based SAILs have unique physicochemical properties and greater surface activity than conventional surfactants, which allows them to increase drug permeability, making them better drug carriers than currently available formulations. To fully utilize [C14bim][Br] and [C10bim][Br] in drug delivery applications, deep insight into the interactions occurring in the mixed micellar [C10bim][Br]/[C14bim][Br] systems in the drug’s presence are necessary to be examined. Thus, the study is conducted using conductivity and surface tension measurement techniques to fully exploit the self-assembly, micellization behavior and interactions occurring in the pure and mixed micellar system of [C10bim][Br]/[C14bim][Br] in water and 5 mM of SS solution in aqueous media. For this, various thermodynamic, surface-active and mixed micellar parameters of micellization have been calculated and analyzed with respect to change in mole fraction, temperature and addition of SS in solution.
Artefacts from Ban Chiang, Thailand: Pre-metal Age cord-marked pottery

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Pottery excavated from the archeological UNESCO world heritage site Ban Chiang in Thailand stem from distinct periods. Black vessels with cord-mark design from Pre-metal Age (ca. 3000–1000 BC), Bronze Age pottery (ca 1000–300 BC) with yellow-brown surface and Iron Age samples (ca. 300 BC–200 AD) with red pictorial surface patterns. In a previous work [Bismayer U., Srilomsak S., Treekamol Y., Tanthanuch W., Suriyatham K. Artefacts from Ban Chiang, Thailand: pottery with hematite-red geometric patterns. Z. Kristallogr. 2020, 235, 559–568] we studied the mineralogical composition and their surface colour materials of shards from Bronze and Iron Age. In this work we focus on bulk features of the dark Pre-metal Age cord-marked ceramic shard PSN2-S10E13 and compare its elemental and mineralogical composition with bulk composition of sample 5412-S6E15 from Bronze Age. Experimental techniques are electron microprobe, X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, optical microscopy and X-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM). Sample PSN2-S10E13 contains more quartz than 5412-S6E15. In the bulk of the Pre-metal Age shard, diffraction signals of mullite occur, indicating higher firing temperatures compared to the younger sample. Phyllosilicate signals are seen in FTIR spectra of both shards. E-modes of quartz dominate FTIR spectra of both samples. Optical thin sections show voids around micro-particles in PSN2-S10E13 and XTM indicates that the pore volume percentage of sample PSN2-S10E13 is higher than in 5412-S6E15. Because of the large age gap to younger samples from Ban Chiang, the proper age of our oldest sample PSN2-S10E13 was determined using an accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) by simultaneous 14C/12C and 13C/12C isotope ratio measurements which yielded a radiocarbon age of 3609 ± 29 BP (resp. 1659 ± 29 BC).
Sub-Gaussian random variables and Wiman's inequality for analytic functions
Authors: Kuryliak A.O. , Skaskiv O.B. 
Published: July 2023

Let $f$ be an analytic function in $\{z: |z|<R\}$ of the form $f(z)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{+\infty}a_n z^n$. In the paper, we consider the Wiman-type inequality for random analytic functions of the form $f(z,\omega)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{+\infty}Z_n(\omega)a_nz^n$, where $(Z_n)$ is a sequence on the Steinhaus probability space of real independent centered sub-Gaussian random variables, i.e. $(\exists D>0)(\forall k\in\mathbb{N})(\forall \lambda\in\mathbb{R})\colon \mathbf{E}(e^{\lambda Z_k})\leq e^{D \lambda^2}$, and such that $(\exists\beta>0)(\exists n_0\in\mathbb{N})\colon \inf\limits_{n\geq n_0}\mathbf{E}|Z_n|^{-\beta}<+\infty.$
It is proved that for every $\delta>0$ there exists a set $E(\delta)\subset [0,R)$ of finite $h$-logarithmic measure (i.e. $\int\nolimits_{E}h(r)d\ln r<+\infty$) such that almost surely for all $r\in(r_0(\omega),R)\backslash E$ we have \[ M_f(r,\omega):=\max\big\{|f(z,\omega)|\colon |z|=r\big\}\leq \sqrt{h(r)}\mu_f(r)\Big(\ln^3h(r)\ln\{h(r)\mu_f(r)\}\Big)^{1/4+\delta}, \] where $h(r)$ is any fixed continuous non-decreasing function on $[0;R)$ such that $h(r)\geq2$ for all $r\in (0,R)$ and $\int^R_{r_{0}} h(r) d\ln r =+\infty$ for some $r_0\in(0,R)$.
