Published: February 2022

OBJECTIVE
Consuming ≥150 g/day carbohydrate is recommended for 3 days before an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for diabetes diagnosis. For evaluation of this recommendation, time courses of glycemic changes following transition from a very-low-carbohydrate (VLC) to high-carbohydrate diet were assessed with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
After achieving a weight loss target of 15% (±3%) on the run-in VLC diet, participants (18–50 years old, BMI ≥27 kg/m2) were randomly assigned for 10 weeks to one of three isoenergetic diets: VLC (5% carbohydrate and 77% fat); high carbohydrate, high starch (HC-Starch) (57% carbohydrate and 25% fat, including 20% refined grains); and high carbohydrate, high sugar (HC-Sugar) (57% carbohydrate and 25% fat, including 20% sugar). CGM was done throughout the trial (n = 64) and OGTT at start and end (n = 41). All food was prepared in a metabolic kitchen and consumed under observation.

RESULTS
Glucose metrics continued to decline after week 1 in the HC-Starch and HC-Sugar groups (P &lt; 0.05) but not VLC. During weeks 2–5, fasting and 2-h glucose (millimoles per liter per week) decreased in HC-Starch (fasting −0.10, P = 0.001; 2 h −0.10, P = 0.04). During weeks 6–9, 2-h glucose decreased in HC-Starch (−0.07, P = 0.01) and fasting and 2-h glucose decreased in HC-Sugar (fasting −0.09, P = 0.001; 2 h −0.09, P = 0.003). The number of participants with abnormal glucose tolerance by OGTT remained 10 (of 16) in VLC at start and end but decreased from 17 to 9 (of 25) in both high-carbohydrate groups.

CONCLUSIONS
Physiological adaptation from a low- to high-carbohydrate diet may require many weeks, with implications for the accuracy of diabetes tests, interpretation of macronutrient trials, and risks of periodic planned deviations from a VLC diet.

Published: February 2022

Background and purpose: Characteristics of patients receiving total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and prostheses used vary between regions and change with time. How these practice variations influence revision remains unclear. We combined registry data for better understanding of the impact of variation, which could potentially improve revision rates.
Patients and methods: We used data from 2003 to 2019 for primary TKA from arthroplasty registries of Sweden (SKAR), Australia (AOANJRR), and Kaiser Permanente (KPJRR). We included 1,072,924 TKA procedures for osteoarthritis. Factors studied included age, sex, ASA class, BMI category, prosthesis constraint, fixation, bearing mobility, patellar resurfacing, and polyethylene type. Cumulativepercentage revision (CPR) was calculated using Kaplan–Meier estimates, and unadjusted Cox hazard ratios were used for comparisons. Random-effects generic inverse-variance meta-analytic methods were used to determine summary effects.
Results: We found similarities in age and sex, but between-registry differences occurred in the other 7 factors studied. Patients from Sweden had lower BMI and ASA scores compared with other registries. Use of cement fixation was similar in the SKAR and KPJRR, but there were marked differences in patellar resurfacing and posterior stabilized component use. Meta-analysis results regarding survivorship favored patients aged ≥ 65 years and minimally stabilized components. There were inconsistent results with time for sex, fixation, and bearing mobility, and no differences for the patellar resurfacing or polyethylene type comparisons.
Interpretation: Marked practice variation was found. Use of minimally stabilized and possibly also cemented and fixed bearing prostheses is supported.

Spatial Distribution of the Rural Development Programme in Relation to Population Retention between 2015 and 2019
Authors: Szabó Csaba 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The common agricultural policy accounts for more than 38% of the European Union’s budget. In the 2014–2020 cycle, 8.9 billion euros went in Hungary to the first pillar and 4.1 billion euros to the second pillar for rural development, the mobilization of which was coordinated by the Rural Development Programme. The second pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy plays an important role in catching up with the lagging and depopulated Hungarian countryside. It serves key objectives such as sustainable environmental management, strengthening and diversifying the rural economy, or a fair standard of living. In my dissertation, I explore the territorial distribution of the payments of the rural development programme between 2015 and 2019 and how it affects unemployment and incomes.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
In recent years, community detection in dynamic networks has received great interest. Due to its importance, many surveys have been suggested. In these surveys, the authors present and detail a number of methods that identify a community without taking into account the incremental methods which, in turn, also take an important place in dynamic community detection methods. In this survey, we provide a review of incremental approaches to community detection in both fully and growing dynamic networks. To do this, we have classified the methods according to the type of network. For each type of network, we describe three main approaches: the first one is based on modularity optimization; the second is based on density; finally, the third is based on label propagation. For each method, we list the studies available in the literature and state their drawbacks and advantages.

Abstract
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that can be stored and transferred electronically. Bitcoin (BTC) is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies that has attracted many attentions. The BTC price is considered as a high volatility time series with non-stationary and non-linear behavior. Therefore, the BTC price forecasting is a new, challenging, and open problem. In this research, we aim the predicting price using machine learning and statistical techniques. We deploy several robust approaches such as the Box-Jenkins, Autoregression (AR), Moving Average (MA), ARIMA, Autocorrelation Function (ACF), Partial Autocorrelation Function (PACF), and Grid Search algorithms to predict BTC price. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, Forecast Error (FE), Mean Forecast Error (MFE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), as well as Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), are considered in our study.
Trading sparse, mean reverting portfolios using VAR(1) and LSTM prediction
Authors: Rácz Attila , Fogarasi Norbert 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
We investigated the predictability of mean reverting portfolios and the VAR(1) model in several aspects. First, we checked the dependency of the accuracy of VAR(1) model on different data types including the original data itself, the return of prices, the natural logarithm of stock and on the log return. Then we compared the accuracy of predictions of mean reverting portfolios coming from VAR(1) with different generative models such as VAR(1) and LSTM for both online and o ine data. It was eventually shown that the LSTM predicts much better than the VAR(1) model. The conclusion is that the VAR(1) assumption works well in selecting the mean reverting portfolio, however, LSTM is a better choice for prediction. With the combined model a strategy with positive trading mean profit was successfully developed. We found that online LSTM outperforms all VAR(1) predictions and results in a positive expected profit when used in a simple trading algorithm.

Finalitatea Simbolic-Mitică a Creaţiei De Sens În Configurarea Onto-Teofaniei Poetice Blagiene
Authors: Lazăr Mihai-Andrei 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we seek to demonstrate how Lucian Blaga’s poetic universe is double layered, in the sense that one can distinguish between, on the one hand, a phenomenological plane, characterized by a pervasive sense of the inexorable passage of time and of human mortability and, on the other hand, a supramundane (noumenal) plane which, in a profane world, has become unattainable and therefore intensifies the individual’s sense of loneliness and estrangement from a sacred universe. We attempt to show how there two planes interfere, mainly through revelations of the divine (epiphanies). In our paper, we follow a poetic and stylistic approach, founded on Mircea Borcilă’s attempt to formulate a poetic typology aiming to highlight the intrinsec mechanisms of a poetic finality oriented towards the creation of meaning, therefore inscribing Blaga’s poetry on the coordinates of a symbolic-mythical pattern. The linguist’s theory draws on Blaga’s conception of the duality of metaphor (“plasticizantă” and “revelatorie”), the latter having a revelatory function and being subdivided by Borcilă according to a cultural finality into a “plastic” finality in creating poetic meaning, whose universe of reference will be modelled upon the phenomenological world, and a ”revelatory” finality, whose universe of reference will be modelled upon a noumenal, transmundane world.
Poetica Divinităţii În Volumul Poemele Luminii
Authors: Duță Gabriela-Raluca 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to analyze, both in terms of interpretation and occurrence, the religious elements of Lucian Blaga’s volume “Poems of Light” (“Poemele Luminii”), namely the links between the figures of divinity and the individual, the latter being seen in its inferior, ephemeral condition, which in fact prevents him from identifying with the deity in question, but which does not stop him from aspiring to the absolute.
Blaga-Cioran: Incursiuni În Marginea Fiinţei
Authors: Gogoșeanu Mihaela-Oana 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The following paper focuses on what lies between transcendence and reality, between self and non-self, between bounded and infinite, it focuses on that included third which contradicts Aristotelian logic and which is represented by the margin itself, by the boundary between these concepts, as it is reflected in the texts of Lucian Blaga and Emil Cioran. The role of the limit is analysed especially in those contexts in which, in addition to spatial references, the limit has a figurative meaning, that of term at the intersection of an antithetical binomial that advances the being, in Hegel’s vision, towards becoming. Consequently, the paper will refer to texts from Blaga’s poetry, where there are twenty occurrences of the word “limit” (Romanian: “margine”), six of which meet the semantic condition mentioned above, but also in Cioran’s texts that treat this matter.
Jertfa Pentru Creaţie: Mitul Estetic La Lucian Blaga Și Henrik Ibsen (Studiu De Caz: Dramaturgia Românească Vs. Dramaturgia Scandinavă)
Authors: Hodârnău Ioana 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This paper tackles the myth of creation through sacrifice as depicted in Lucian Blaga’s theatrical piece “The master builder Manole” („Meșterul Manole”, 1927) and Henrik Ibsen’s “The Master Builder” („Constructorul Solness”, 1892). The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to explore the ways in which this myth passes through different european cultures. The symbols which gravitates around these literary works become premises for a paradigmatic, psychoanalytic and anthropological analysis.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The accusations and controversies arising from the appearance of the novel For Two Thousand Years.. are numerous. Some of the most radical are accusations of anti-Semitism and repudiation of Sebastian’s own Jewish ancestry. Through How I Became a Hooligan, Mihail Sebastian responds to these accusations by emphasizing that Jewishness is presented in the novel from a metaphysical perspective, leaving aside politics and everything that politics implies.
Condiţiile Și Strategiile Unui Transfer De Capital Cultural: Importul Poeziei Americane În Optzecismul Românesc
Authors: Farmatu Teona 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Within the frame of theoretical ideas of World Literature methodology, my paper is aiming to reconsider the relationship between the post-war North-American poetry and the Romanian 80s Generation of poets. Being a complex import, this article sheds light on the conditions and the strategies of this phenomenon through a contextual equation which is more important than a strictly textual one. As a major conclusion of this research, the import of North-American poetry forms, models, ideas, as well as of ideological attitudes is the result of the Romanian young authors’ emulation regarding this faraway literary model. Therefore, this relationship between a centre and a (semi)periphery does not imply a colonizing model of a major culture’s hegemony on a minor one.
Transparenţa Ca Postumanism: O Restaurare A Omului În Literatură
Authors: Partenie Bianca Maria 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The present study aims to encapsulate the emergence of the posthumanism (and of the posthuman, implicitly), seen as profoundly human, in Radu Vancu’s Transparenţa. The starting point for selecting the characteristics of such a posthumanism peculiar to Radu Vancu is represented by his literary study Elegie pentru uman: o critică a modernităţii poetice de la Pound la Cărtărescu. From his analysis upon the antihuman side of modernity’s project, I extract the four typologies through which literature has fought against (the social, political and artistic) dehumanization: corporeal, confessional, maximalist and sacred. Following at the same time Elegie pentru uman and Transparenţa I reach the conclusion that Radu Vancu uses in his novel all the aforementioned typologies in his project to restore the human. In other words, Elegie pentru uman, in its first part, is, in a way, an ars poetica, a drawing in nuce of the forthcoming novel. To this group of four typologies enlisted by Radu Vancu, I will add one more, peculiar to his writing, which emerges from the study as well as from the novel: poeticality.
The fifth category looms in the novel’s writing and in the reference to Ion Mureșan within Elegie pentru uman. Ion Mureșan described literature as the immune system, while the poets are seen as the antibodies of society. Thus, the poeticality within the novel is an immune system which helps the restoration of the human, becoming a key element of the posthuman fiction in Radu Vancu’s text.
The second part of the study will focus on the close reading of the function of some fictional objects in the posthuman narrative of Transparenţa. The selected fictional objects are the ones which are vital for the human salvation from the dehumanizing ghosts of recent history. Such fictional objects are: the body, the light, the text, the reader, Mega, Sibiu etc. Seen through the filter of a posthumanism deeply human at its core, the novel presents the story of a narrator who whishes to restore his lover and, implicitly, the whole world. To conclude in Dostoyevskian terms: humanity will save the world.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The experience of many organizations so far has shown that the risk of failure of the software implementation project is high, and in order to reduce this risk, significant efforts have been made so far to implement the project management methodology. However, research to date shows that, despite improvements in project management, a relatively significant number of projects still fail by some of the performance criteria. A methodology is proposed that includes: (i) analysis of previous research; (ii) design a research instrument to measure project performance and define key determinants of project performance; (iii) development of a multi-criteria model for measuring the performance of software projects; (iv) development of software project management performance models for Croatian organizations using a data mining approach. These activities can be carried out using the following methods: bibliographic analysis of previous research, survey research method, descriptive and inferential statistics methods, structural equations method and data mining methods (supervised and unsupervised learning, text mining). The results of this research framework can be used as a starting point for researching the success of business software implementation projects.
The first year of covid-19 in croatia - a mathematical model
Authors: Rodiger Tibor , Glavaš Edgar , Kovač Ivan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The new coronavirus has spread around the world at an unprecedented speed. Understanding patterns of disease spread is an important contribution to controlling any epidemic, and today’s mathematical methods offer a plethora of proven models to choose from. We provide a brief overview of epidemiological concepts, papers pertaining to mathematical modelling, and present a robust, simple mathematical model to model incidence of COVID-19 cases in Croatia during the first year of the disease. For our models, we chose logistic, Gumbel and Richards functions, with parameters generated using the Levenberg-Marquardt iterative method of nonlinear regression. In conclusion, all three models provided adequate estimation of incidence curve and final number of infected during the chosen time period, with relatively minor differences depending on chosen parameters of significance. The model using the logistic function proved to be the most applicable to available data. While no model can give the answers to ending the pandemic, this approach can provide a simple prognostic tool to evaluate interventions and estimate disease spread.
Managing inter-departmental project delivery to enhance customer satisfaction

Published: February 2022

Abstract
The National Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (NDPWI), an agency for infrastructure development in South Africa, provides accommodation and other infrastructure to various public service departments. Each department communicates its infrastructure requirements with the NDPWI. However, there are usually time lags between project briefing and the actual delivery of the infrastructure. Therefore, this article aims to explore the causes of delays and offer solutions to enhance customer satisfaction. The case study method of qualitative research was adopted. Data were collected from the NDPWI regional offices in Bloemfontein, Cape Town and Kimberley, and the professional service department at the head office in Pretoria, among purposively selected participants not below the deputy director level. The Delphi technique was used as an instrument for data collection and complemented during a focus group session. The findings revealed that the major factors contributing to delays included poor planning by the project execution team (PET), ineffective project monitoring and overcentralisation of the decision-making process. The findings, conclusions and recommendations of this research provide useful information for organisational restructuring, the training and continuous retraining of project personnel, especially the project managers. These steps hold the potential for ameliorating the negative effects of delay in the execution of construction projects by the NDPWI.
