Supportive Care for People Living with HIV and Cancer in the United States
Authors: Ahmad Junid Naveed , Islam Jessica Y. , Aboulafia David M.
Published: January 2024

People with HIV (PWH) in the United States (US) are living longer and are aging into demographic groups in which chronic conditions such as cancer, specifically non-AIDS defining cancers, more commonly occur. Not only do PWH have higher rates of these cancers, but they are also more likely to experience higher, stage-adjusted, cancer-specific mortality compared to their HIV-negative counterparts. One important contributing factor is the disparity in the type of treatment offered to cancer patients with HIV. In a study comparing the use of palliative care among patients with cancer living with and without HIV in the US, researchers found that among those diagnosed with early stage-cancer, PWH had 96% higher odds of receiving palliative care versus those without HIV. On the other hand, among those diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, PWH had 30% lower odds of receiving palliative care compared to their HIV-negative counterparts. The investigators also showed that PWH who did not receive palliative care had 48% lower odds of receiving curative treatment. As for those who did receive palliative care, they were also less likely to receive curative treatment compared to those without HIV, suggesting that PWH were receiving palliative care in lieu of curative treatment. These findings reinforce prior data that curative treatment is not routinely offered to PWH in an equitable way and underscore the importance of developing efforts to improve outcomes in this marginalized population.

Cada día se observan en las aulas más niños que no logran desarrollar las destrezas lectoras a pesar de no presentar daños a nivel neurológico, lo cual crea la necesidad de realizar intervenciones psicopedagógicas que fortalezcan el proceso lector en la población estudiantil. El objetivo de este estudio radicó en describir el proceso de lectura pre y pos a la aplicación de la Titi APP en niños identificados con dificultades en la lectura. Se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, con la participación 46 niños entre edades de 7 a 11 años detectados con dificultades en lectura. El diseño de la investigación fue cuasiexperimental, de alcance descriptivo y corte longitudinal. Cómo técnica de producción de datos se utilizó el test Tale y la aplicación de la Titi App. Para la obtención de los datos se trabajó con el estadístico Wilcoxon concluyendo que después de la intervención con la TiTi App, los niños disminuyeron significativamente los errores y el tiempo de lectura, con lo cual se aceptó la hipótesis alterna. Con la conclusión de este estudio se pretende que futuras investigaciones se enfoquen en la intervención de NEE en niños y adolescentes para prevenir la deserción escolar y brindar una atención temprana y oportuna.

Hitos internacionales que han incidido en el desarrollo de la educación ambiental en Colombia
Authors: Muriel-Ruano Eulalia Esperanza , Rosero-Realpe Ingrid Catherin
Published: January 2024

La descripción de los principales hitos internacionales y la exploración de los factores que han incidido en la educación ambiental en Colombia tienen como propósito contribuir a la reflexión y explicación acerca de su naturaleza, las tensiones y discusiones que se generan en torno a su validez como estrategia para la sensibilización y cambio de actitud de la sociedad frente al ambiente y sus diferentes connotaciones. Esta investigación de naturaleza teórica surge para dar respuesta al interrogante de cual ha sido el contexto en el que se desarrolla la educación ambiental en Colombia. Metodológicamente se centra en la revisión documental, cronología de eventos, ensamblaje y análisis de los mismos desde una perspectiva sistémica. Los resultados hacen evidente hacia dónde va la educación ambiental, el qué, y para qué se hace educación ambiental, al igual que la escasa gestión y coordinación entre instituciones gubernamentales y No gubernamentales. Los postulados proclamados en las diferentes conferencias internacionales sobre el aprovechamiento eficiente, sustentable y sostenible de los recursos naturales se proyectan siempre en la responsabilidad intergeneracional que se afianza en la cumbre de Río de Janeiro en 1992 y luego el retroceso que se ve reflejado en el cambio climático.  En conclusión, se necesita una educación ambiental para transitar del enfoque cartesiano hacia la visión ambiental compleja donde la ciencia y la tecnología permitan correlacionar la cultura con la naturaleza y con la vida desarrollando procesos que coadyuven a un cambio de actitudes y comportamientos para enfrentar los problemas ambientales, locales y globales.

Authors: Rubio Sandra Margarita
Published: January 2024

Hoy en día existe un creciente interés sobre la generación de ambientes organizacionales favorables, la motivación y bienestar laboral. Entre los constructos emergentes se encuentra el salario emocional, entendido como los elementos intrínsecos y extrínsecos del ambiente de trabajo que genera motivación y bienestar laboral; sin embargo, el constructo ha sido abordado desde diferentes enfoques y contextos, por lo que se hace necesario acercarse desde la ciencia para dar explicación a la variable latente. El objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los elementos conceptuales de las perspectivas filosóficas del conocimiento para estudiar el salario emocional. Se hizo una revisión bibliográfica mediante una macro búsqueda que permitió la identificación de los documentos referentes al tema de investigación de fuentes primarias y secundarias. Como resultado de la macro búsqueda se identifica que el constructo puede abordarse desde una perspectiva constructivista y neo positivista dado que se enfatiza la verificación empírica y análisis lógico del lenguaje como base del conocimiento. Después de analizar la matriz de corrientes filosóficas se sugiere hacer abordajes desde la fenomenología debido a que es una excelente fuente de información para la explicación de lo que significa el salario emocional para las personas trabajadoras y puede aportar información relevante para el diseño del instrumento de evaluación del constructo, ya sea mediante la triangulación de datos o el análisis cualitativo de la misma.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common cardiac problem associated with multiple co-morbidities and high mortality. Despite tremendous efforts in research, scientists are still unable to identify and explain the mechanisms leading to atherosclerosis and its progression or regression. In an effort to disrupt the current passive concepts on atherosclerosis, the authors challenged the artificial intelligence (AI)-based language model ChatGPT with provocative questions in a hypothesis-generating exercise. In the study of flow in pipes or biomedical systems, laminar flow is the standard that is most efficient without damaging the wall and components of the system. However, not all pipes or arteries, or veins are straight. The fluid or blood needs to navigate mild or acute curves, cross smooth or rough surfaces of the inner lumen, or flow in the same direction or against the main flow. As fluid courses through these dynamic systems, the laminar flow accommodates and changes its flow patterns for the successful transportation of fluid and materials. This review emphasizes the metamorphosis of laminar flow in various environments of pipes (or vessels in the biomedical system) to promote energy conservation and efficient transport.
Numerical investigation of pulsed flow in aortic aneurism with and without stent by lattice Boltzmann method
Authors: Mezali Farouk , Sâadia Benmamar , Mohamed Saber Hamouda , Mohamed Aghiles Zakaria Mezali
Published: January 2024

Endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms with an endoprosthesis is proposed for the prevention of the aneurysms' rupture risk and clogging of blood vessels. This paper aims to study the impact of stents with different porosities, placed in fusiform aortic aneurysms, on the hemodynamic parameters: velocity and shear rate of the flow inside the aneurysms, using pulsed boundary conditions derived from real measurements. The numerical investigations are performed with the Lattice Boltzmann method. The blood is treated as a Newtonian fluid and then as a non- Newtonian fluid with the Carreau-Yasuda and Cross models. The reduction obtained by a single stent is modest and unfavorable to thrombotic occlusion. Overlapping of several stents is proposed to promote occlusion. The results found show good agreement with medical theory.
Machine Learning for Predicting the Stock Price Direction with Trading Indicators
Authors: Ansary Md. Siam
Published: January 2024

There are a number of possible advantages in utilizing trading indicators and machine learning to predict the direction of stock prices.  It is crucial to remember that stock price prediction is difficult by nature and that there is no way to ensure accuracy. The financial markets are extremely information-rich, dynamic, and complex. Large datasets may be processed and analysed by machine learning algorithms far more quickly than by people, which makes it possible to spot patterns or trends that might not be immediately obvious. By using historical price and volume data, the algorithms can be trained to identify patterns that could predict future moves. Because they offer insights into possible market moves, predictive models can help with risk management. Because ML models are always learning from fresh data, they can adjust to changing market conditions. This flexibility is essential in markets      where a variety of factors impact the market. Several machine learning models have been used in this experimental effort to monitor the direction of stock prices, and the outcomes are extremely encouraging.
Estimation of Synchronous Machine Parameters by Stand Still Frequency Responses Testing
Authors: Leguebedj Farid , Boukhetala Djamel
Published: January 2024

This paper presents a general method based on the standstill frequency response (SSFR) tests cited in IEEE Std 115-A. The used methodology consists of determining the frequency response of the measured values of the direct axis and quadrature operational inductances. Subsequently, we identify the different models of transfer functions, which are functions of time constants, using curve-fitting techniques. Then considering the time constants as inputs and the parameters of the equivalent circuits of the synchronous machine as outputs. We can identify all the parameters of different topologies of the models, using the numerical Newton Raphson method. The approach used is inexpensive, accurate, and reliable.
Performance Analysis of a Novel Multiple Access Spatial Modulation Architecture based on STBC-OFDM and CDMA over Nakagami-m fading Channel
Authors: BERRAHMA Fadila , GHANEM Khalida , BOUSBIA-SALAH Hicham
Published: January 2024

One of the schemes which are likely to be adopted in the forthcoming wireless communication standards is the so-called spatial modulation (SM). However, the wireless channels pertaining to such standards will mostly be frequency selective because of the involved high data rates, and SM technique alone can not overcome the resulting signal distortion. In this context, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has been used as an efficient solution to combat this impediment, and space-time block coding (STBC)-OFDM has followed as an innovative approach merging the viable features of OFDM and the reliability enhancement capabilities of STBC. Obviously, SM solutions in the presence of multiple users communicating in frequency selective channels should be targeted. To fulfill such a need, a new SM-based architecture incorporating STBC-OFDM and CDMA is proposed in this work and is shown to exhibit a performance which is superior to state-of-the-art alternatives. Furthermore, its sensitivity to the aforementioned adverse parameters is studied in Nagakami channel.
A Survey on Spatial Modulation OFDM: Optimal Detection and Performance Analysis
Authors: BERRAHMA Fadila , GHANEM Khalida , BOUSBIA-SALAH Hicham
Published: January 2024

Spatial modulation is a novel modulation scheme that aims to acquire a trade-off between the two adverse purposes in wireless communications, namely the improvements of data rate and data reliability, by adjusting the operational transmit antenna index in the emitted bits.  To fight    against inter-symbol interference (ISI) present in frequency selective channels, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)  as become a extensively accepted and used mechanism. We investigate in this work the performance of SM-OFDM modulation over frequency selective MIMO channel using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) scheme. At the receiver side, a group of detectors is proposed to recover the active transmit antenna index (Tx-antenna) and the emitted data sequence. In this paper, a new SM-OFDM-based scheme is proposed, which adds another element of information in the transmitted SM-data block consisting of a chosen constellation among the available rotated set. To attain this, an additional index is used to select the specific  constellation. At the receiver, a set of detectors is  proposed to jointly estimate the transmitted symbol, as well as the used constellation and the active transmit antenna indices.  The comparison of the performance of this new scheme against the conventional SM-OFDM shows an increased spectral efficiency  at the price of a slight degradation in bit error rate. The proposed scheme permits a trade-off between the quality of the communication and the achieved spectral efficiency. Some concluding remarks are drawn over simulation results.
Numerical simulation of natural convection heat transfer in a cavity with finned surface under linear temperature profile
Authors: ATTOUCHI Mohamed Tarek , LARBI Salah , KHELLADI Sofiane
Published: January 2024

This paper is dedicated to a numerical study of natural convection through a cavity with finned surface where its base temperature is variable with linear profile. An approach based on modelling of internal fluid flow around a finned surface in laminar and at steady state conditions is used. Thermal and hydrodynamic aspects of the fluid flow were analyzed through the numerical resolution of equations of fluid dynamics. For this purpose, we have developed a computer code (in Fortran 90) based on the finite volume method. The studied model consists of a rectangular cavity where vertical walls are thermally insulated, the horizontal ones are maintained at different temperatures: cold and constant temperature on the upper wall and hot temperature with linear profile on the lower wall. The Rayleigh number used is in the range of 103 to 106 and the Prandtl number is fixed at 0.71. The plotted results are related to temperature distribution, streamlines, velocity fields as well as the mean Nusselt number.

Atmospheric habitualities: aesthesiology of the silent body
Authors: Griffero Tonino
Published: January 2024

The paper examines the notion of habits from the perspective of a pathic aesthetics based on the neo-phenomenological theory of Leib (felt body) and its ubiquitous communication. By questioning whether experience should be considered as a confirmation or a failure of expectation, it shows the inextricable intertwining of the unexpected and routine in our involuntary life experience and delves into a well known phenomenological crux: is the lived or felt body what is subject to self-affection and proprioception or rather the “absent” body, which is always transcended in its being-for-other (transitivity)? The assumption then that felt-bodily habits are formed through a motor scheme depending on its being a perfect pre-reflective resonance (especially thanks to its more or less stable “felt-bodily islands”) of outside atmospheric feelings and affordances that also becomes a true “style”, is finally examined by showing the points of both contact and discrepancy between a New Phenomenology (Hermann Schmitz) focused above all on the rediscovery (in a critical function) of the archaic dimension of the Leib and a melioristic Somaesthetics (Richard Shusterman) pragmatically interested in a more creative individual self-stylisation.

Published: January 2024

The poultry industry, a vital constituent of global food production, poses formidable threats from immunosuppressive illnesses that compromise poultry health, output, and economic sustainability. Due to various infectious and non-infectious agents, these immunosuppressive provisions significantly heighten birds' susceptibility to secondary infections and undermine the efficacy of vaccination. Poultry mortality and morbidity can be caused by non-infectious factors such as environmental stressors and nutritional deficiencies. The overuse of antibiotics in poultry production raises concerns about antibiotic resistance and public health, leading to the search for natural alternatives. Turmeric, scientifically known as Curcuma longa, has emerged as a promising solution due to its various attributes, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. It is poised to effectively supplant synthetic antibiotics in poultry, thus mitigating the risks to public health. This review paper investigates the role of turmeric as a natural antibiotic against immunosuppressive diseases in poultry. It comprehensively explores the multifaceted causes of immunosuppression in poultry, encompassing environmental stress, nutritional factors, and infectious agents. Furthermore, the article explores how turmeric can combat various issues and highlights its potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Turmeric has been shown to enhance growth, boost immune function, and mitigate the adverse effects of stress, making it a valuable and sustainable solution for the poultry industry. By alleviating the risk of immunosuppression, turmeric safeguards avian health and augments the industry's overall success. This paper underscores the significance of embracing natural remedies like turmeric to uphold poultry health and well-being while diminishing reliance on synthetic antibiotics.
On The Foundations of Fuzzy Number Theory and Fuzzy Diophantine Equations
Authors:   Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Sciences, Tishreen University, Syria, Abobala Mohammad
Published: January 2024

Despite the great and rapid progress in the study of Fuzzy Logic and its applications in various scientific fields, it has not yet been used to build a consistent number theory like classical number theory. This research provides for the first time a conception of the concepts of number theory based on fuzzy logic and fuzzy membership functions, where it defines the division process, the fuzzy congruence, the greatest common divisor between integers with a fuzzy membership function. On the other hand, it presents many famous Diophantine equations formulated using fuzzy sets, in addition to many properties of fuzzy number theoretical systems, through many related theorems and accompanying illustrative examples. Also, in this research, we are raising many open research questions related to fuzzy number theory, which we believe will represent the future of progress in the study of this new mathematical branch.

Köroğlu, Pir Sultan Abdal, Dadaloğlu ve Şahturna Örneğinde Âşık Tarzı Şiir Geleneğinde Protest Söylemler
Authors: Kaval Yılmaz , Tosun İbrahim
Published: January 2024

Türk halk edebiyatında yapılan çalışmalarda temel hedef, bu edebiyatı meydana getiren toplumu tanımak, toplumun temel dinamiklerini öğrenmek ve buna dayalı değerlendirmeler geliştirmektir. Halk edebiyatını oluşturan bütün türler, içinden çıktıkları halkın ayrılmaz parçalarıdır. Bu anlamda halk edebiyatını bilmekle halkı tanımak aynı anlama gelmektedir. Halk edebiyatı türlerinin bu anlamda pek çok işlevi olduğu görülmektedir. Halk edebiyatı türleri arasında kabul edilen Âşık edebiyatı şiir geleneğinin de pek çok işlevinin yanında protest bir işlev yerine getirdiği görülmektedir. Âşık edebiyatında âşıklar tarafından eleştiri ve protesto amaçlı şiirlerin oluşturulduğu çok sık görülen bir durumdur. Ancak burada yergi, eleştiri gibi kavramlar ve protesto arasında önemli farklar vardır. Yergi yanlış olduğuna inanılan bir şeyin eksik taraflarını bulup doğru yönlerini göstermeye çalışmakken eleştiride sadece eleştirilen şey üzerinde durulur. Ancak protesto eleştiri ve yergiden farklı olarak yanlış olduğuna inanılan şeyi düzeltme arayışına girmeyip protesto edileni hiçbir şekilde kabul etmemektir. Âşık edebiyatı şiir geleneği, çağlar boyunca, insanlara, kabul edilmeyen aksaklıklar, haksızlıklar vb durumlar karşısında bir sığınak olmuştur. Âşıkların bu gelenek vasıtasıyla yöneticilere meydan okuduğu ve halk üzerinde etki gücünün daha belirgin olduğu düşünülen şiir türünü bir silah gibi kullandıkları çok sık bir şekilde görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada Âşık edebiyatı şiir geleneği ve bu gelenek içinde yetişmiş bazı âşıkların protest ifadeler kullanarak icra ettikleri şiirler ele alınacaktır. Şiirler seçilirken şiirlerin özellikle protest temalı olmalarına dikkat edilecektir. Protest söylemler geliştiren bu âşıkların özellikle göçebe Türkmenler arasında mı yoksa yerleşik hayat benimseyen âşıklar arasında mı geliştiği üzerinde durulacaktır. Âşık edebiyatında görülen protest söylemin hangi durumlar karşısında yetiştiği ve özellikle hangi dönemlerde etkili olduğu incelenecektir.

Authors: Khallat Nesreen , Mira Ranim
Published: January 2024

The coexistence of fetal hydrocephalus (HC) and ulcerative colitis (UC) within a single patient is exceptionally rare. This paper presents the case of a 4-year-old girl initially diagnosed with congenital hydrocephalus via in-utero ultrasonography at 20 weeks of gestation. Subsequent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt placement was performed, and 3 years later, the patient was histologically and serologically diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The synchronization of these distinct medical events in the same individual, particularly the interval between the treatments, represents an unprecedented occurrence not previously documented. The report details the patient’s recent presentation of recurrent bloody diarrhea and failure to thrive, which was effectively managed with oral prednisolone and sulfasalazine. Notably, the simultaneous manifestation of these conditions prompts consideration of potential contributing factors, including genetic markers such as interleukin 18 (IL 18), which have been linked to both disorders in existing literature. This case underscores the need for further research to elucidate the genetic and pathological markers, as well as predictors, which may underlie the concurrent occurrence of hydrocephalus and ulcerative colitis. Understanding these complexities could offer valuable insights into the intricate interplay of genetic and environmental factors in the development of such unique medical co-morbidities.

Published: January 2024

Computational thinking skills are a crucial mental skill in the 21st century, enabling individuals to solve problems, understand data, and make decisions with a structured and computational-based approach. Integrating computational thinking skills in mathematics learning has an important role in preparing students to become skilled in thinking computationally in the 21st century. The method used in this research is library research in which relevant data are collected from sources such as books, dictionaries, journals, magazines, and others without the need to conduct direct investigations in the field. Applying computational thinking in mathematics learning will foster skills such as decomposition (breaking down a problem into manageable parts), pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm design as well as developing analytical and abstract thinking skills.

Hubungan Perilaku Personal Hygiene terhadap Kasus Dermatitis Kontak Iritan pada Petugas Pemilah Sampah di Super Depo Sutorejo Kota Surabaya
Super Depo Sutorejo menampung volume sampah dengan jumlah yang banyak dibandingkan dengan TPS lainnya di Kota Surabaya. Dari hasil wawancara dengan beberapa pekerja didapatkan bahwa terdapat keluhan berupa gatal-gatal, kemerahan, hingga kulit mengelupas pada sebagian besar pekerja. Gejala penyakit dermatitis dapat timbul beberapa hari, bulan hingga tahun setelah pajanan terjadi. Oleh karena itu, mereka yang secara terus menerus berkontak dengan pajanan iritan, salah satunya adalah sampah, akan sangat rentan untuk terkena dermatitis kontak. Perilaku personal hygiene merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi terjadinya dermatitis kontak iritan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis hubungan perilaku personal hygiene terhadap kasus dermatitis kontak iritan pada petugas pemilah sampah di Super Depo Sutorejo Kota Surabaya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan rancang bangun cross sectional. Sampel pada penelitian ini terdiri dari 26 petugas pemilah sampah yang berada di Super Depo Sutorejo dengan menggunakan metode sampling jenuh. Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner dan dianalisis menggunakan uji Chi-square. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara personal hygiene (p-value=0,008) dengan kasus dermatitis kontak iritan pada petugas pemilah sampah di Super Depo Sutorejo. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah perilaku personal hygiene yang masih buruk dikalangan petugas menyebabkan terjadinya kasus DKI. Sebaiknya, perlu dilakukan peningkatan kesadaran terkait pentingnya menjaga kebersihan diri agar mencegah risiko terjadinya dermatitis dan mengurangi tingkat keparahan bagi para penderita.
Emphasizing Organizational Resilience: Influence of Environmental Uncertainty and Stress Management on Project Management and Organizational Success
Authors: Sraidi Najla  , El Gharbaoui Bouteïna
Published: January 2024

An excellent project management strategy is essential for organizational success in the fiercely competitive and constantly changing food manufacturing industry. In this industry, project managers frequently deal with a great deal of environmental unpredictability, which can affect their stress levels and, in turn, their performance. This study employs quantitative analysis through SmartPLS 4.0 to investigate the relationship between environmental uncertainty, stress management, project manager performance, and overall organizational success in the context of the food manufacturing industry. A comprehensive survey was conducted within the food manufacturing sector, encompassing a population of project managers. A stratified random sampling approach yielded a sample size of 218 respondents, who provided data on environmental uncertainty, stress management practices, and self-reported performance as project managers. SmartPLS 4.0 was employed for data analysis, enabling structural equation modeling to examine the relationships between these variables. The quantitative analysis reveals significant correlations between environmental uncertainty and project manager stress levels within the food manufacturing industry. Importantly, stress management practices were found to act as a crucial mediator in this relationship. Project managers who effectively manage stress reported enhanced performance outcomes, contributing to organizational success. These findings underscore the significance of proactive stress management strategies in mitigating the adverse effects of environmental uncertainty.
Participatory Dialogues in Landscapes of Care
Authors:   , Aussems Karijn
Published: January 2024

This thesis explores the lived experiences of disadvantaged young people in their journey toward self-actualization, as well as how participatory research can contribute to this. It is centered around three PAR-projects and builds on a care ethical and participatory action research design. The participants are young people (n=98) who are in one way or another care-dependent: children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), girls in secured facilities who had experienced or were at risk of sexual exploitation, and young adults with developmental language disorder (DLD). In each study, the participants iteratively reflected their experiences and needs for their daily lives as they also created awareness how society can be more responsive to this.

The participatory dialogues revealed that disadvantaged young people feel that others do not take them as they are, as they constantly have to adjust themselves to be accepted (identity politics). Furthermore, they also feel they have to act different to get the care that they need (care politics). They need to magnify their capabilities to get opportunities for self-actualization and to magnify their disadvantages so they can be acknowledged as ‘care-dependent’, a prerequisite to receive professional support. They call for more space to be who they genuinely are and to get the care that is adjusted to their needs.

Overall, I bring to the attention that young people need—and deserve—a multipolar society that provides spaces for their personal capabilities, needs and perspectives, where being normal stands for being unique. This is a step toward combatting stigma that causes young people’s feeling of embarrassment and their hard work to be acknowledged, accepted and valued as important citizens in society. I make a plea for societal and government authorities to treat young people as serious partners in the shaping of such landscapes of care with equal opportunities for active and authentic societal participation. An ideal world is one where young people themselves no longer have to struggle for their recognition. As long as we have not achieved this, I posit, participatory research is an urgent need.
