The Marginalised Romani Culture in Greek Society and Its Portrayal in Greek Children’s Literature
Authors: Kanatsouli Meni , Angelaki Rosy-Triantafyllia 
Published: August 2022

In Greek children’s literature, very few books deal with Roma children, especially in a protagonist role – therefore, the aim of this article is to examine literary re[1]presentations of Roma children. The four books presented in this paper help the youngest readers understand how marginalised this social group is in the context of Greek society. Adopting the basic principles of multicultural literature as well as the method of imagology or cultural iconology, it can be said that prejudices and stereotypes are projected through literary characters. In addition, the perpetual persecution of the Roma people is revealed in the works analysed herein, including their genocide during the Second World War. The ideological stance of the books is one of friendliness towards Roma children, even though the racist and suspicious attitude of non-Roma is not in any way glossed over or concealed. In conclusion, according to the authors of the article, what is missing in Greek and European children’s literature is the authentic portrayal of Roma and the authentic voices of Roma writers.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation of axial length/corneal radius of curvature ratio with stress–strain index (SSI).Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted to compare the right eyes of those with high myopia (HM, n = 132; age and 10–48 years) with those without high myopia (NHM, n = 135; age and 7–48 years), where the baseline axial length, corneal radius of curvature ratio, and central corneal thickness were analyzed; the differences in two groups were compared; and the relationship of axial length and axial length/corneal radius of curvature ratio with SSI were explored.Results: Compared with AL &lt; 26mm, SSI significantly decreased when AL ≥ 26 mm (p = 0.001), while there was no correlation with AL in the NHM group (r = -0.14, p = 0.12) or HM group (r = -0.09, p = 0.32). AL/CR was significantly associated with SSI in both the NHM (r = -0.4, p &lt; 0.001) and HM (r = -0.18, p = 0.04) groups. In the NHM group, AL/CR was significantly associated with SSI (unstandardized beta = -0.514, se = 0.109, p &lt; 0.001) with the adjustment of age and gender. Additionally, a significant association of SSI with AL/CR was also found after adjusting for age and gender (unstandardized beta = -0.258, se = 0.096, and p = 0.0082) in the HM group.Conclusion: SSI showed a significant negative correlation with AL/CR in patients without high myopia and in patients with high myopia. However, SSI exhibited no decrease with the worsening of myopia, but it gradually remained stable at a low level. The findings of this study validate, to some extent, the possibility of analyzing the dynamic changes in ocular wall stiffness during the development of myopia by measuring in vivo corneal biomechanical parameters.
Exercise as an Aging Mimetic: A New Perspective on the Mechanisms Behind Exercise as Preventive Medicine Against Age-Related Chronic Disease
Authors: Lefferts Wesley K. , Davis Mary M. , Valentine Rudy J. 
Published: August 2022

Age-related chronic diseases are among the most common causes of mortality and account for a majority of global disease burden. Preventative lifestyle behaviors, such as regular exercise, play a critical role in attenuating chronic disease burden. However, the exact mechanism behind exercise as a form of preventative medicine remains poorly defined. Interestingly, many of the physiological responses to exercise are comparable to aging. This paper explores an overarching hypothesis that exercise protects against aging/age-related chronic disease because the physiological stress of exercise mimics aging. Acute exercise transiently disrupts cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and brain function and triggers a substantial inflammatory response in a manner that mimics aging/age-related chronic disease. Data indicate that select acute exercise responses may be similar in magnitude to changes seen with +10–50 years of aging. The initial insult of the age-mimicking effects of exercise induces beneficial adaptations that serve to attenuate disruption to successive “aging” stimuli (i.e., exercise). Ultimately, these exercise-induced adaptations reduce the subsequent physiological stress incurred from aging and protect against age-related chronic disease. To further examine this hypothesis, future work should more intricately describe the physiological signature of different types/intensities of acute exercise in order to better predict the subsequent adaptation and chronic disease prevention with exercise training in healthy and at-risk populations.

Competitiveness of modern restaurant business enterprises
Authors: Antonova A. А. 
Published: August 2022

Aim. Based on the developed general theoretical provisions, the presented study aims to formulate practical recommendations for increasing the competitiveness of restaurant business enterprises in the Republic of Crimea. Tasks. Based on the analysis of existing interpretations, the author formulates an original definition of the competitiveness of a restaurant business enterprise and identifies its key characteristics; investigates factors affecting the competitiveness of enterprises in the examined field; develops theoretical and methodological provisions for assessing the composite indicator; tests the developed assessment model on restaurant business enterprises in the Republic of Crimea. Methods. This study uses a wide range of general scientific methods such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical method, expert assessment method, grouping, comparative analysis, modeling, and abstractionn. Results. The competitiveness of restaurant business enterprises is relative and depends on the competitiveness of the provided services and the competitive potential of the restaurant, indicating its ability to withstand competition without compromising the environment within a certain market segment and time. The following groups of external factors have the most significant effect on the examined composite indicator: economic, political and legal, technological, socio-cultural, environmental, sanitary and epidemiological situation. The predominantly negative impact of these factors during the analyzed period can be neutralized by an effective organizational competitiveness management system based on a certain model for assessing the achieved level of competitiveness. The author proposes an assessment algorithm and a methodology for calculating the level of competitiveness, defines a scale of the competitive status of restaurant business enterprises depending on the numerical value of the target composite indicator. Through the example of enterprises operating in the Republic of Crimea, the level of competitiveness is assessed and several proposals to strengthen the current competitive status in the public catering services market are formulated. Conclusions. The criteria of competitiveness of modern restaurant business organizations include the following major components: the quality of services, the effectiveness of marketing activities, the organization's financial state, and the restaurant's market position. Since the qualitative parameters of the activities of restaurant business enterprises have the strongest impact on the final composite indicator, mitigating the so-called consumer discrepancy is the fundamental direction for increasing competitiveness. That said, a list of measures for a particular enterprise can be determined based on the results of a comprehensive assessment of the competitiveness level by analyzing the values of its components.
Analisis Kompetensi Membaca pada Kurikulum Merdeka Belajar PAUD
Authors: Kurniadi Fajar 
Published: August 2022

This study aims to find in-depth information about reading competence among early childhood students. This is done because many parents think that early childhood and playgroup are the children's first introduction to reading, writing, and counting competencies. This assumption is even stronger with the existence of elementary school entry requirements that require prospective students to be able to read, write, or count. So, actually, is there a competency to read the early childhood curriculum? If basically, early childhood and playgroup levels are a means for children to get to know the world of education by playing and socializing, then at which level should students learn to read? The method used in this study is a qualitative method with an analytical descriptive approach. Researchers made a questionnaire to early childhood, elementary school teachers, and parents of students. After getting the data, the researcher tried to analyze and reduce it in sentence form. After being successfully researched, it turns out that there is no or no implicit reading of reading competence at the early childhood level.
Bone, Biomarker, Body Composition, and Performance Responses to 8 Weeks of Reserve Officers' Training Corps Training
Authors: Baker Breanne S. , Buchanan Samuel R. , Black Christopher D. , Bemben Michael G. , Bemben Debra A. 
Published: August 2022

Context
Military personnel engage in vigorous exercise, often resulting in higher bone mineral density; however, leg bone injuries occur frequently in this population. Predictors of change in tibial bone quality and strength need to be characterized in this high-risk population.

Objectives
To examine the effects of an 8-week military training intervention on total body and site-specific bone density and tibial bone quality, serum biomarkers (parathyroid hormone and sclerostin), body composition, and physical performance and to investigate which outcome variables (biomarkers, body composition, and physical performance) predict estimated tibial bone strength in college-aged Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) participants.

Design
Prospective cohort study.

Setting
University of Oklahoma.

Patients or Other Participants
The ROTC participants (14 males, 4 females) were matched for sex, age, and mass to physically active control participants (14 males, 4 females). The ROTC participants engaged in an 8-week training intervention, while the physically active control group made no changes to their exercise routines.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Preintervention general health questionnaires were completed. Pre-, mid-, and postintervention bone scans (dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and peripheral quantitative computed tomography); serum blood draws (parathyroid hormone and sclerostin); and physical performance measures (muscle strength and aerobic capacity) were obtained.

Results
The ROTC participants exhibited increased hip bone density mineral and content (both P values ≤ .02) after the 8-week intervention. Sclerostin, but not parathyroid hormone, was a positive correlate and predictor in all ROTC models for estimated bone strength at the fracture-prone 38% tibial site (ie, 38% of the tibial length proximal to the distal end of the tibia). Both groups displayed decreased total body and regional fat mass, and ROTC participants' aerobic capacity increased (all P values ≤ .05).

Conclusions
All bone, body composition, and performance measures either improved or were maintained in response to ROTC training. Sclerostin should be further investigated as a potential early indicator of changes in estimated tibial bone strength in military cohorts.
Inhibition of lens protein glycation and aldose reductase activity using Aqueous extract of Morinda Citrifolia and Ocimum Sanctum in Glucose induced diabetic cataract
Authors: Katta Ashok , Murugan M. 
Published: August 2022

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder characterized by persistent elevated blood glucose level in the body which leads to various secondary complications like cataract. The understanding of mechanisms by which glucose exerts its toxicity is of utmost importance for rational pharmacological interventions to treat diabetic cataract. Plants have always been an exemplary source of drugs and many of the currently available drugs have been derived directly or indirectly from them. The aim of the present study was to explore local antiglycation and anticataract potential of M. citrifolia and O. sanctum in goat lenses using glucose induced cataract model. A total of 120 goat lenses were divided into four groups of 30 each viz. Normal Control, Experimental diabetic cataract, Experimental diabetic cataract + Extract of Morinda citrifolia (0.25%), Experimental diabetic cataract Extract of Ocimum sanctum (0.25%). Extent of protein glycation and activity of aldose reductase were measured in lens homogenates. Experimental cataractous lenses showed increased levels of both glycation of protein as well as aldose reductase activity. However, lenses treated with M. citrifolia as well as O. sanctum showed significant decreased levels of both glycation of protein and aldose reductase activity.

Output‐feedback boundary adaptive fault‐tolerant control for scalar hyperbolic partial differential equation systems with actuator faults
Authors: Guo Runsheng , Li Jiachen , Sun Kangkang , Wang Tong , Qiu Jianbin 
Published: August 2022

SummaryThis article studies the output‐feedback adaptive fault‐tolerant boundary control problem for scalar hyperbolic partial differential equation systems with actuator faults. All the coefficients of the controlled plant are unknown, and two types of actuator faults, that is, multiplicative faults and additive faults, are considered simultaneously. For the state estimation problem, two filters are constructed, based on which an observer is obtained to estimate the system state. A parametric model is established for actuator faults, based on which the parameter updating laws of gradient type are then developed to identify actuator faults and to estimate the unknown system coefficients. With the observer and the parameter updating laws, an output‐feedback adaptive fault‐tolerant boundary control law is developed via infinite‐dimensional backstepping method. The boundness of all the signals involved in the control design is guaranteed and the convergence of system states is also confirmed. Finally, the simulation results are given to testify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
Photoredox‐mediated Multicomponent Reactions
Authors: Yadav Pooja , Anagha Varma A. , Punnya A. J. , Gopinath Purushothaman 
Published: August 2022

AbstractMulticomponent reactions (MCR's) provide a unique opportunity for synthetic chemists to achieve the synthesis of complex organic molecules in a single step. Although MCR are known for more than a century, their utility, in general, is limited to a narrow set of reactions due to the inherent difficulties in controlling the desired reactivity & selectivity with three or more components. Photoredox catalysis on the other hand has recently gathered more attention from synthetic chemists due to its simplicity and the new type of reactivity it can offer. In this direction, many new multicomponent reactions mediated by photoredox catalysis are reported. Given the importance of thsis special type of reaction and in order to further design new photomediated multicomponent reactions, a review of the existing reports is very essential. We have broadly divided this review based on the type of photocatalyst used for the multicomponent reaction such as metal photocatalysis, organophotoredox catalysis & dual transition metal‐photoredox catalysis.

Published: August 2022

AbstractFlipped classroom based on active learning is becoming an increasingly popular pedagogical method in higher education capable of increasing student performance in higher‐order learning outcomes including application, analysis, evaluation, and creation. However, the success of a flipped classroom model relies on various supporting elements such as the accessibility of technology, and it may not be appropriate for all students and courses. In this study, a new blended biochemistry classroom model based on massive open online courses and a “semi‐flipped” environment was applied to the students enrolled in three majors (stomatology, pharmacy, and preventive medicine) at Cheeloo College of Medicine, Shandong University, China. To assess the improvement of the students' perception of self‐cognition in the blended biochemistry classes, surveys were conducted before and after undertaking the biochemistry course. Survey responses and total (final) score for the biochemistry course were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Compared to students who received traditional classroom instruction, students who participated in the blended classroom model achieved higher academic performance (p < 0.01) and reported a significant improvement in their perception of self‐cognition (p < 0.01, or p < 0.05). More than 80% of participants preferred the blended classroom model to that of traditional classroom instruction.
The benefits of green horizontal networks: Lessons learned from sharing charging infrastructure for electric freight vehicles
Authors: Melander Lisa , Wallström Henrik 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates how a group of firms collaborate horizontally to find innovative solutions to be more environmentally friendly by sharing charging infrastructure among themselves. Such collaborations enable a faster transition to electrifying road freight transport. We conduct an embedded case study of firms operating in Stockholm that are exploring the possibility of sharing charging infrastructure for their electric freight vehicles (EFVs). The study reveals four business models for sharing: sharing existing privately owned infrastructure, jointly building new infrastructure, jointly building new infrastructure at a shared customer's site and organizing sharing through a third party. The results show that these sharing models have both economic and environmental benefits, providing new revenue streams, enabling cost sharing, reducing investment costs, increasing utilization and reducing material usage. From a collaborative point of view, the results point to the importance of having multiple actors that form a network to provide large‐scale benefits. Our study reveals that there needs to be both environmental and economic incentives for firms to join horizontal networks characterized by coopetition. Trust between actors is also important in the forming of networks and during collaboration, especially since actors need to continuously share data within the network.
