Published: September 2022

Fossils are critical for understanding the evolutionary diversification, turnover, and morphological disparification of extant lineages. While fossils cannot be sequenced, phenome-scale data may be generated using micro-computed tomography (µ-CT), thus revealing hidden structures and internal anatomy, when preserved. Here, we adduce the male caste of a new fossil ant species from Miocene Ethiopian amber that resembles members of the Aneuretinae, matching the operational definition of the subfamily. Through the use of synchrotron radiation for µ-CT, we critically test the aneuretine-identity hypothesis. Our results indicate that the new fossils do not belong to the Aneuretinae, but rather the Ponerini (Ponerinae). Informed by recent phylogenomic studies, we were able to place the fossils close to the extant genus Cryptopone based on logical character analysis, with the two uniquely sharing absence of the subpetiolar process among all ponerine genera. Consequently, we: (1) revise the male-based key to the global ant subfamilies; (2) revise the definitions of Aneuretinae, Ponerinae, Platythyreini, and Ponerini; (3) discuss the evolution of ant mandibles; and (4) describe the fossils as †Desyopone hereon gen. et sp. nov. Our study highlights the value of males for ant systematics and the tremendous potential of phenomic imaging technologies for the study of ant evolution.

Background: The triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index is a simple, novel and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, evidence for the prognostic impact of an elevated TyG index on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between the TyG index and the risk of renal progression in IgAN. Method: This cohort study involved biopsy-proven IgAN between January 2009 and December 2018 in West China Hospital, in which patients were assigned to two groups based on the cut-off value of TyG using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was established to optimize the bias in IgAN by propensity score matching (PSM). The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The composite endpoint was defined by eGFR decreased ≥50% of the baseline level, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), renal transplantation and/or death. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were applied to confirm the predictive value of the optimal marker. Results: Before PSM, a total of 1210 participants were ultimately included. During a median follow-up period of 55.8 months (range 37.20–79.09 months), 129 participants progressed to the composite endpoint (10.7%). After PSM, 366 patients were enrolled in the matched cohort, of whom 34 (9.3%) patients reached the endpoints. Based on the cut-off value of the TyG index, patients were divided into the low TyG index group (TyG ≤ 8.72, n = 690) and the high TyG index group (TyG > 8.72, n = 520). Further analysis demonstrated that a higher TyG index was significantly associated with a higher risk of reaching composite endpoints in IgAN patients in both the unmatched and matched cohorts (before PSM: HR 2.509, 95% CI 1.396–4.511, p = 0.002; after PSM: HR 2.654, 95% CI 1.299–5.423, p = 0.007). Conclusion: A high TyG index is associated with a higher risk of renal progression.

Published: September 2022

Recently, the scientific community has started to focus on the neurogenic potential of cannabinoids. The phytocompound cannabidiol (CBD) shows different mechanism of signaling on cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1), depending on its concentration. In this study, we investigated if CBD may induce in vitro neuronal differentiation after treatment at 5 µM and 10 µM. For this purpose, we decided to use the spinal cord × neuroblastoma hybrid cell line (NSC-34) because of its proliferative and undifferentiated state. The messenger RNAs (mRNAs) expression profiles were tested using high-throughput sequencing technology and Western blot assay was used to determine the number of main proteins in different pathways. Interestingly, the treatment shows different genes associated with neurodifferentiation statistically significant, such as Rbfox3, Tubb3, Pax6 and Eno2. The CB1 signaling pathway is responsible for neuronal differentiation at 10 µM, as suggested by the presence of p-ERK and p-AKT, but not at 5 µM. A new correlation between CBD, neurodifferentiation and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors (RORs) has been observed.

Published: September 2022

The Russian leasing market is increasingly growing and getting a profitable and common tool for funding the renewal of enterprises’ non-current assets. The competition level is getting particularly high, permitting the growth of that market and generating a heightened economic focus. Numerous issues and distinctions related to the appearance of a leasing tool in the Russian federation are made. Asa consequence, this study mainly seeks to analyze and discover the characteristics and issues of the Russian leasing market. To attain that aim, the study utilizes the approaches of bibliographic analysis and materials’ generalization on the research subject; classifications of factological material demonstrating the main elements of leasing expansion; the tools of economic, institutional, statistical, and structural analysis to set up the relations between the fundamental features of leasing. Given the results, leasing in the Russian federation attempts to cover a vast set of market segments, implying that companies are able to lease nearly every piece of equipment. In the leasing market in the Russian Federation, companies encounter several issues and dilemmas, the dominant of which are intense competition and heightened market concentration. However, the market persists in operating, and competition, to an extent, gets a major element in the market development.
New Polish Queer Literature and its Anglosphere Reception
Authors: Sobolczyk Piotr 
Published: September 2022

This article offers a theoretical perspective on the reception of new Polish queer literature in the Anglosphere as opposed to an “insider’s view”. The reception of queer literature is measured against the stereotype of Polish literature called “Pol- ish school of poetry”. This stereotype when applied to queer literature interacts with the idea of Poland’s “belatedness” in LGBTQ emancipation which is normatively understood as a carbon-copy of Western models, and not as a unique path. Therefore, the Anglosphere reading strategies often rely on “exoticisa-
tion” and a certain “postcolonial gaze”. The case studies are two novels, Michał Witkowski’s Lovetown and a limitrophe case, a novel about Poland written in English by Tomasz Jędrowski, Swimming in the Dark. While in the former the political content is almost overlooked, in the latter the description of queer lives under communism seems brought to the forefront. I argue, however, that this vision in Swimming in the Dark does not surpass stereotypes and also is full of historical inaccuracies.

Abstract
We report on the impact of the 3 nm thick ex situ AlGaN regrown layer prior to insulator deposition on the interfacial properties of Al2O3/AlGaN/GaN metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) structures. MIS-capacitors (MIScaps) with regrown AlGaN layer exhibited anomalously excessive threshold voltage shift compared to reference sample without regrown AlGaN, suggesting highly reduced interface states density (D
it). Moreover, MIScaps with regrown AlGaN layer exhibited “spill-over” in the capacitance–voltage profiles, further evidencing the improved Al2O3/AlGaN interfaces. Fabricated three-terminal MIS-HEMTs with regrown AlGaN showed less hysteresis in transfer curves, enhanced maximum drain current, and increased linearity over the reference device.

Abstract
Batik is one of the components of the creative economy in the development sector that continues to be improved because it has promising market prospects and considering the trends in batik products. Batik is a national cultural heritage that is designated as the cultural heritage of a country and this has been recognized and confirmed on October 2, 2009 by UNESCO as the cultural heritage of the Indonesian state. Batik is an asset owned by the Indonesian people, which is a culture that becomes identity and also national identity. Batik is able to express meaning and high aesthetic value as well as in symbolic form, both in very diverse patterns and colors, not only that, batik also has another uniqueness, namely reflecting as a culture of the Indonesian nation which has distinctive characteristics of differences from other nations. Considered philosophical values ??as well as local wisdom of Indonesian cultural traditions in the specialty of batik art. Written batik in this era has an indicator of a very large problem, namely how to maintain the existence of a work of art so that it does not fade little by little due to intense competition against the batik industry. This community service activity is carried out to help written batik business partners to strengthen brands or establish brand awareness and create marketing strategies that can help partners to compete in the competitive market for batik cloth.

Authors: Fergani Radja , Amar Nadra Nait , Diab Youssef 
Published: September 2022

This article presents a study on the tertiarization phenomenon of Algerian cities built after independence, to provide adequate housing and access to better living conditions. To be more effective in our research, we selected as a case study the municipality of Bab Ezzouar. Bab Ezzouar is a city built during the seventies to receive the eastern extension of the capital Algiers through a mass habitat-production project – but had been for long time a dormitory suburb-. Today, with the increase in the supply of services and consequently the population, this municipality hosts the business district of the capital. Its new economic tendences are reflected by the intense development of the number of enterprises located at its level. They rose from 334 in 2000 to 2,631 in 2019, then 2,803 in 2021. In other terms, an estimated growth of 839%. Our main objectives of this research are: a) to measure how tertiarization contributed to create new dynamics in the area with a strong impact on competitivity, attractiveness and quality of living, b) to understand if this requalification of the built environment resulted in other urban phenomenon, such as a gentrification process of the area. To achieve the proposed objectives, we defined a methodology which comprehends: literature review about the main topics, data collection about city different trends and aspects, interviews with municipal decision-makers, population questionnaires; and space syntax, to better understand the development of tertiarization and its impact on the dynamics, gentrification, and growth perspectives of Bab Ezzouar city.

Authors: Al-Shawabkeh Faisal , Shiyab Tayil , Barafi Jamal 
Published: September 2022

The study addressed the impact of COVID-19 on public rights and freedoms. The research question is to what extent it is possible to achieve compatibility between preserving public health in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and protecting the basic rights and freedoms of individuals, and how the Jordanian government dealt with the pandemic by resorting to exceptional legislation in this regard. To address this problem the study focused on the legislative basis which the Jordanian government relied on to confront the pandemic and the manifestations of prejudicing general rights and freedoms. The study discussed the compatibility between respecting rights and freedoms, and combating the pandemic. The conclusion is that the Jordanian government imposed harsh legislations which restricted individuals’ rights. It is recommended that the Jordanian government adopt preventive measures to combat the epidemic in line with international standards on respecting human rights. Policies are suggested.

Authors: Syahidun . , Nawangsari Lenny C. 
Published: September 2022

This study will dissect the influence of green human resources and capital on corporate stewardship by managing green environmental administration. The participants in this study were workers at PERTAMINA’s Rewul, Fuel Terminal, with a complete sample of 125 representatives. The data testing strategy uses the Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square. The results of this study found that green human resources and green social capital significantly affect the carrying capacity of the company, eirectly by intervening in the administration of the green environment; besides that, green environmental governance also has a significant impact on the sustainability of the company. On the other hand, green structural capital does not directly affect company sustainability but becomes a substantial effect by mediating green environmental management. In order to maintain sustainability, continuous improvement projects are carried out to support green innovation in implementing green technology in resource utilization and preserving the environment while still involving external parties. The company is committed to implementing the highest occupational health and safety standards, respecting and affecting the surrounding community to promote sustainable social and economic development.

Determining the Effect of Narcissistic Leadership on Employee Performance: An applied Study in a Private College in Iraq
Authors: Yousif Marwah Badr Zaya , Loukil Taicir Moalla 
Published: September 2022

The narcissism of leaders has been studied as a negative trait. It is a personality disorder related to the constant aspiration for power, superiority over others, and a lack of empathy with others and their exploitation to achieve personal ends. Narcissists often seek leadership and work for their interests, and these behaviors affect workers' lower levels of performance, creativity, and productivity. This, in turn, leads to higher levels of burnout, job turnover, and other organizational diseases because the traits of leaders and their actual behavior complement each other. Therefore, this research aims to study the relationship between narcissistic leadership with its dimensions (arrogance, authority) and workers' performance (organizational commitment, job satisfaction, creativity, productivity). The research sample was represented in Baghdad College of Economic Sciences University / Iraq, and the research sample amounted to (77) individuals. The research relied on the questionnaire as the main tool to collect data to conduct statistical analyses. As (87) questionnaires were distributed to the employees of the researched college, the number of retrieved questionnaires was (77) valid for analysis. The data was analyzed using (SPSS V.25) and (Amos V.25). Many statistical methods were used to achieve the research objectives, represented by (arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple linear regression). The most important findings of the research are the adverse effect of narcissistic leadership on workers' performance. The more there is narcissistic leadership in the college understudy, the more it negatively contributes to the performance levels of employees.

Determinants of Banks’ Credit Risk: Evidence from Jordanian Banks Listed on Amman Stock Exchange
Authors: Bsoul Ruba , Milhem Maysa’a , Odat Mahmoud 
Published: September 2022

This paper aims to identify the determinants of credit risk in Jordanian banks. The sample consist of all banks listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE); which include 13 conventional banks and 2 Islamic banks, with the data covering the period from 2012 - 2019. Credit risk is represented by the percentage of non-performing loans over total loans given by the bank. Both bank-specific variables and macroeconomic variables that are likely to influence credit risk are examined. Based on the multiple regression analysis, the results indicate that the level of credit risk faced by Jordanian banks is negatively related to each of the banks’ profitability, interest income earned by the bank, the size of the bank, and the type of the bank. The results also show that there is a significant positive relationship between the banks’ loans quality and the unemployment rate in Jordan with the level of credit risk. The results, however, indicate that there is no a significant relationship between liquidity, inflation, and gross domestic products with credit risk faced by Jordanian banks.

Aspect of Ecology in Mainstream Natural: Traditional Medicine
Authors: Lula Jadwiga Lidia 
Published: September 2022

The article presents several types of traditional medicine: Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Unani medicine, Tibetan medicine and herbal medicine. Attention has been given to the context of ecology and ecosystem and how some flora and fauna properties are used. Traditional medicine largely uses medicinal plants which in many communities are the main treatment and source of disease prevention. Taking into account the increased use of drugs - the widespread amount of pharmaceuticals in pharmacies and their frequent overuse, many people are now deciding to look for the source of the disease and not to use the same and often more powerful medical agents. The article focuses on traditional medicine and its approach to treatment, as well as the extent to which man affects ecosystems and biodiversity for the sake of human health and well-being. One of the important occurrances of recent years has become an awareness of the growing ecological threat caused by the human economy. A man striving to satisfy his needs for consumerism has caused an avalanche of problems related to fauna and flora. In recent years, awareness has increased and there has been a trend to return to the natural treatments and way of life.

Authors: Peresada Olha , Severinova Oleksandra , Serohin Vitalii , Serohina Svitlana , Shutova Olga 
Published: September 2022

This article deals with the identification of the most effective mechanisms, methods and tools for local governance in the EU through a high-level community participation in these processes in the context of building existing systems of intercultural communication. The essence and substance of intercultural communication is revealed with the help of well-known research methods, as well as the logical structure and systemic analysis. The main interdependencies in their implementation on the community structure are determined. The issue of determining the place of local governments in the system of intercultural communications at the territorial community level occupies an important place in the study. The main features of intercultural communication and their impact on community participation in local governance are revealed. An important conclusion is drawn that public demand is the main product of intercultural communication, while social capital is the main result. The relationship between the breadth of community coverage by intercultural communication processes and the depth of community participation in local governance processes is studied. This inclusiveness allows determining the civil society development level, the activity of its institutions, as well as the extent at which the goal of implementing good governance concept in a particular community is achieved. The intercultural communication is proved to be able to form a public demand system that the community presents to local self-government bodies as programme requirements for the state of territorial development. All this determines the further need to study social capital as an independent resource and additional potential that the community can offer through the network of social communications to local self-government bodies to improve the effectiveness of territorial development.
