Social Aspects in National Public Procurement

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of the article. Public procurement, which was originally aimed solely at reducing corruption, has been expanded to include additional elements that can have a broad impact on the socio-economic environment. One of these elements is social aspects, which can broaden the scale of effects obtained from the implementation of the order. The aim of the work is to quantitatively examine the changes taking place in the public procurement market in the use of social aspects, including social clauses. The study was conducted to confirm a growing interest in this element of procurement among public entities. The paper hypothesizes that in the years 2017–2023 there was a significant increase in the use of new procurement opportunities using social aspects. The research question is whether the lack of measurable incentives for contracting authorities limits the introduction of social aspects in public procurement. Methodology. The paper discusses the principles of classifying social aspects of public procurement in years 2017–2023, taking into account social clauses in particular. The empirical part uses aggregated data obtained from documents published by the Public Procurement Office. In order to enable comparability of observations in individual years, an indicator analysis was used. Since data for 2024 was not available in official reports, the research was conducted on the basis of a 200-element random sample taken from all public procurements awarded by domestic entities in that year. Results of the research. Analysis of published aggregated market data and data obtained from the sample taken indicate a limited increase in the use of social aspects in public procurement. Despite the even incidental use of social clauses, it can be stated that the situation in this area is gradually improving, as the average annual rate of change in the period under review showed a 16% increase in the number of such orders and a 33% increase in their value.
PERCEPTION OF FEMALE BUTTOCKS AND BREAST SIZE IN PROFILE

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study looked at the contribution of breast size and buttock size on ratings of female physical attractiveness in profile. A total of 114 British undergraduates rated 9 silhouettes with 3 varying levels of breast size and 3 levels of buttock size. Results showed significant main effects of breast size (with an overall preference for small breasts) but not of buttock size. Gender of the participants did not have a significant effect on the variables, although there was a significant interaction of breast and buttock size. The findings suggest that variables such as breast size are minor cues of female physical attractiveness.
Parametric model: a conceptual framework for geometric modelling databases

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

To reduce the time and effort involved, a database that supports the reusability of designs while effectively modeling the structure and behavior of engineering components with multiple features is essential. The conceptual model of this database should describe all the information related to an object in an application-independent manner to ensure data sharing and facilitate the implementation of data languages that simplify the design task. Most of the present-day solid modeling databases lack this kind of conceptual structure. The authors present a conceptual framework that attempts to meet the requirements outlined. Operations are defined on this framework to permit the reusability of the designs and modeling of the structure and behavior of a component using this framework is illustrated with suitable examples. This framework is supported by theory and operations on hypergraphs. The theory is discussed and tested against the requirements, and basic implementation is elaborated on.< >

Energy absorbed by electronic body protectors from kicks in a taekwondo competition

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective: Although some scientific information on electronic body protectors in taekwondo is available, no research has been done to assess the impact of kicks in a competitive situation. The purpose of this study, then, was to assess the energy absorbed by these protectors from kicks performed in an actual taekwondo competition. Methods: Subjects consisted of junior (14-17 years) and senior (≥18 years) male taekwondo-in, who participated in an open tournament. Data on the energy imparted by valid kicks in Joules (J) were collected from a public visual electronic monitor. Results: Energy was higher for the seniors: 264.31 ± 56.63 J versus 224.38 ± 48.23 J for the juniors (eta2 = 0.121). The seniors scored lower in percent impact but the effect was trivial: 123.46 ± 24.77% versus 136.70 ± 26.33%(eta2 = 0.087). Conclusions: The difference between senior and junior taekwondo-in in absolute energy generated was small, while the difference in relative energy impact was trivial in favour of the junior taekwondo athletes.
Sex disparities in cardiac sarcoidosis patients undergoing implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator implantation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Introduction In patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators (ICDs) are important for preventing sudden cardiac death. This study aimed to investigate sex disparities in CS patients undergoing ICD implantation. Methods The 2016–2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database compared the characteristics and outcomes of males and females with CS receiving ICDs. Results Among 760 CS patients who underwent inpatient ICD implantation, 66.4% were male. Males were younger (55.0 vs. 56.9 years, p < .01), had higher rates of diabetes (31.7% vs. 21.6%, p < .01) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (16.8% vs. 7.8%, p < .01) but lower prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) (11.9% vs. 23.5%, p < .01), sick sinus syndrome (4.0% vs. 7.8%, p = .024), ventricular fibrillation (VF) (9.9% vs. 15.7%, p = .02), and black ancestry (31.9% vs. 58.0%, p < .01). Unadjusted major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of in‐hospital death, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemic stroke, was higher in females (11.8% vs. 6.9%, p = .024), but when adjusted for age and tCharlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), females demonstrated significantly lower odds of experiencing MACE (aOR: 0.048, 95% CI: 0.006–0.395, p = .005). Incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) post‐ICD was significantly lower in females (15.7% vs. 23.8%, p = .01) as was the adjusted odds (aOR: 0.282, 95% CI: 0.146–0.546, p < .01). There was comparable mean length of stay and hospital charges. Conclusion ICD utilization in CS patients is more common among males, who have a higher prevalence of diabetes and CKD but a lower prevalence of AF, sick sinus syndrome, and VF. Adjusted MACE and AKI were significantly lower in females.
Participation and litigation: parallel routes to policy in the South African postcolony

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Policy processes in contemporary South Africa draw attention to a phenomenon that is both common in policymaking and under-theorised in the anthropology of policy: the tendency for policy to be made both through legislative and administrative fora, and through litigation and the threat of litigation, often concurrently. Given South Africa's robust legal frameworks mandating public participation in policymaking, there is an unexpectedly productive dialectical relationship between administrative and legal processes, where failures of participation create openings for court challenges that may limit the scope for top-down policymaking. These legal actions likewise reflect responses to the country's apartheid history: they rely upon legal oppositional strategies developed to challenge the apartheid state, often by the same actors and organisations, and they rely upon legal institutions that have been deliberately structured to prevent past injustices from being repeated.This paper illustrates these points with two cases from South Africa: first, a local policy implementation process concerned with the issuing of permits for subsistence fishing in the Dwesa-Cwebe Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Eastern Cape and, second, a national process concerned with the re-opening of claims under South Africa's land restitution programme.
Housing Differences in the Late Soviet City: The Case of Tartu, Estonia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Research on the residential and housing differences of urban populations in post-second world war Central and Eastern Europe has a tradition extending back to the 1960s. Most studies have focused on the Polish, Czech and Hungarian (large) cities using aggregatelevel data and testing simultaneously the impact of a few factors on residential and housing differences. This research clarifies the housing differences in the late Soviet era of Tartu (the second largest city in Estonia). Using the individual-level data of the 1989 Soviet census and multivariate methods, the article demonstrates that several factors (age, education, occupation, employment sector, ethnic origin, place of origin) shape the individual's housing and living conditions in the late Soviet period in Tartu. On the one hand, the results support the importance of the policy of different institutions (state, enterprises) in shaping people's living conditions; on the other hand, they also point to people's resources and desires as the cause. Depuis les années 1960, on trouve régulièrement des recherches sur les différences de quartier et de logement des populations urbaines dans l'Europe centrale et orientale de l'après-guerre. La plupart des études sont consacrées aux (grandes) villes polonaises, tchèques et hongroises, à partir de données globales, et testent simultanément l'impact de quelques facteurs sur les différences de quartier et de logement. Cet article éclaire les différences d'habitat à Tartu (deuxième ville d'Estonie) vers la fin de l'ère soviétique. Se basant sur les données individuelles du recensement soviétique de 1989 et sur des méthodes multivariables, il démontre que plusieurs facteurs (âge, instruction, emploi, secteur d'activité, origine ethnique, lieu de naissance) configurent les conditions de logement et de vie des habitants de Tartu à cette époque. D'un cõté, les résultats confirment l'importance de la politique de diverses institutions (état, entreprises) dans les conditions de vie de la population; de l'autre, ils révèlent aussi comme cause les ressources et aspirations des gens.

The palaeolatitude of Australia through phanerozoic time

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Abstract Palaeolatitude data obtained from palaeomagnetic studies of Australian formations are described and compared with the palaeoclimatic zones inferred from geological observations. The two techniques produce results which agree for most of the Palaeozoic. Only for the Early Cambrian (and late Proterozoic) and Mesozoic do the climatic indicators appear to contradict the palaeolatitude evidence. It is pointed out that each of these geological intervals follows immediately a period of widespread glaciation.

Prolonged endurance exercise and blood coagulation: a 9 month prospective study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

To study the long-term overall effect of physical exercise on blood coagulation, 20 sedentary males and 15 sedentary females were trained three to four times a week with increasing intensity for 9 months. After 24 and 36 weeks all subjects ran a 15 km and a half-marathon (21 km) race, respectively, Blood samples were drawn before the training programme, 5 days before both races and 5 days after the halfmarathon run. Plasma factor VIII coagulant activity and von Willebrand factor antigen concentration did not increase during the training programme. In both males and females plasma fibrinogen concentration was not enhanced after 24 weeks of training but increased in preparation for the 21 km race and was still raised significantly (P < 0.01) 5 days later. No significant changes in plasma thrombin-antithrombin III concentrations were observed in either group during the training programme. The results of this study demonstrate that an exercise programme of increasing intensity induces physical stress which has significant effects on plasma fibrinogen concentration, even at rest. However, in contrast to acute post-exercise effects, a regular physical fitness programme does not induce a long-term activation of the haemostatic system.
Envisioning the future of technology integration for accessible hospitality and tourism

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study aims to examine a topic of growing significance to hospitality and tourism scholars and practitioners – how emerging technologies can fulfill accessible hospitality and tourism services for people with disabilities. Design/methodology/approach A systematic review of the literature based on the Web of Science database and qualitative research were conducted. Specifically, bibliometric analysis and thematic analyzes of expert interviews were used. The obtained views from experts in the field further validated and enriched the obtained findings. Findings The primary topics of exploration in existing literature were identified, such as social networks and data-empowered services. The potential areas of further advances are also revealed such as the need for cross-country collaborations and potential gaps between scholarly and practitioner interest in the topic. Research limitations/implications This research is limited by the scope of adopted search keywords and databases. Practical implications This study offers vital practical implications for the future integration of emerging technologies to fulfill accessible hospitality and tourism. It also demonstrates the pressing need for more interconnected global collaborations for this important initiative. Social implications This study emphasizes how the hospitality and tourism industry could better leverage technological power to empower people with disabilities. It also points out the importance of an inclusive process for technology implementation for accessible hospitality and tourism services to fully represent the interests of disabled customers (including the consideration of their different backgrounds). Originality/value This study sheds light on the future research directions of technological empowerment of accessible hospitality/tourism. It also makes methodological contributions by demonstrating what bibliometric analysis has to offer to relevant fields of studies. The solicited views of experts in the field from different countries on the topic further add to the depth and value of the findings while demonstrating the combination of these two approaches as a promising mixed-methods route to produce richer and more robust findings.
Hypoglycemia, diabetes and atherosclerosis: is there a link?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

SUMMARY Cardiovascular disease represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality in subjects with diabetes mellitus. Hypoglycemia associated with glucose-lowering therapy causes recurrent morbidity and represents a significant barrier to successful treatment of the disease. The response to hypoglycemia includes direct and indirect changes mainly related to the activation of the sympathoadrenal axis, which produces significant changes in the cardiovascular system. The latest results derived from several recent large randomized clinical trials have raised the major point that severe hypoglycemia may increase the risk of a poor outcome in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The concept that hypoglycemia could be a potential aggravating factor for atherosclerotic processes is discussed in this article.
A Century Of Research Into The Origins Of The Upper Paleolithic In The Levant

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the Levant, the origins of the Upper Palaeolithic is closely linked to the question of modern human emergence. is paper reviews a century of research on the subject. e history of discoveries in Mount Carmel (1900-1945) is argued to have particular importance in shaping the debate, yielding both archaeological and physical anthropological remain that were initially considered to be "transitional" between modern humans and their Neanderthal predecessors. is perspective changed dramati- cally in the 1980s, with the introduction of the Replacement hypothesis, necessitating a new view of the IUP as a foreign, intrusive industry into the Levant. In recent years, distinctions between species in the Levant have been called into question, while ancient DNA evidence suggests there was genetic admixture between early humans and Neanderthal populations somewhere in the greater Near East. ere is no archaeological evidence for a movement of peoples out of Africa, nor is there evidence for complete cultural continuity. New data from the Arabian Peninsula show that the most likely precursor of Levantine IUP technology was the Arabian Nubian technocomplex. erefore, we argue that the Levantine IUP developed at the interface of the southern Levant and northern Arabian Peninsula.
3D Map Application on Cave Geosites in Relationship of Cave Morphometry and Surface Geomorphology in Karst Areas at Ngalau Basurek Cave, Silokek Geopark

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

On 2 January 2018, the local government proposed Silokek, a region in the Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia, as a geopark, based on district rule number 188.45/3/KPTS-BPT-2018. This arrangement was based on the idea that a geopark would provide tourist destinations with natural tourism and archaeological, environmental, historical, educational, and cultural components in addition to geology, making this place an indirect example of a complex tourist destination. The Ngalau Basurek Cave is a geosite in this area that is a well-liked tourist destination, although it does not yet have a useful and instructive cave morphometry map. Producing cave morphometric data using the compass and step mapping method and geomorphological analyses of Landsat 8 image data is suggested to identify patterns of relationships with surface karst morphological features. A northeast dip angle trend was visible in the fresh limestone of the Kuantan Formation, which formed cave features as a result of dissolution. The dolinas, uvalas, and cone–kart features, which are represented on topographic maps (DEM-SRTM), demonstrate comparable trends. Dip-angle and strike-line trends were used to obtain a complete relationship between cave morphometry and surface geomorphology in Silokek Geopark.
Work and personal role involvement of part‐time employees: Implications for attitudes and turnover intentions

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Researchers have started to argue that part‐time (PT) employees should not be viewed as one undifferentiated group, leading Martin and Sinclair to develop a PT typology based on employee demographics and personal attachments. Attitudinal and behavioral differences have been found among their groups. This prior research has been limited by classifying work role involvement through descriptions of roles outside of work, rather than assessing it empirically. We use more precise, direct measures of involvement, including time spent on, flexibility of, and psychological involvement in, roles outside work to predict differences in work role involvement, attitudes, and turnover intentions. Moreover, we test the PT typology on a geographically and occupationally diverse sample, overcoming previous generalizability concerns. We found that part‐timers with more psychological involvement in roles and those with roles outside work that are less flexible and more time intensive have less work role involvement, higher turnover intentions, and generally less positive attitudes. In addition, the results provide evidence that the more direct measures better predict work role involvement and turnover intent than the indirect PT typology measure. Implications for management and research are discussed. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
