The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Developing Digital Transformation Skills Language Communication, and Scientific Trends among Students of the College of Education at Al Ain University
Authors: Almahdawi Asmaa Jumah
Published: January 2024

A scientific subject called artificial intelligence (AI) aims to create computer systems that function as efficiently as a skilled human does. Such effectiveness can substantially improve education by utilising the most cutting-edge technologies. To determine the level of AI awareness among Al Ain University faculty members and to investigate the connections between AI awareness, the digital transformation scale (DTS), and the technological, scientific scale (TSS), this study set out to measure that awareness. The descriptive-correlational research technique of the study included three analyses, with a particular focus on AI, DTS, and TSS. 101 academics, or 43.5% of the College of Education faculty, were represented in the sample from all departments. They were chosen using a simple random sampling technique. The quantitative data analysis revealed that the faculty members exhibited a medium level of awareness, with a mean score of 3.05 on a 5-point scale. A correlation value of 0.139 and a significance coefficient of 0.165 indicated no statistically significant correlation between faculty members’ awareness of AI and DTS. With a correlation of 0.568 and a significance level of P <0.01, the study found that among faculty members, there was a direct and statistically significant positive link between AI awareness and TSS. It is essential to prepare faculty members for using AI in the classroom and to modify their perspectives on it by holding seminars and providing them with the training they need to do so.
Placebo Effects Contemplated Through the Relating Bodies in the World
Authors:   The Korean Association for Philosophy of Medicine, Lim Young-Chai
Published: January 2024

Placebo effects are intriguing phenomena in which beneficial healing effects happen despite the administration of a placebo, which has no active substances or involves inert procedures. Multi-dimensional characteristics have been involved in placebo effects, exhibiting various and non-specific modalities. The two most representative well-known explanatory models on placebo effects, expectancy and conditioning theories, which have perspectives rooted in Cartesian dualism that separate mind and body, show inherent limitations and problems in sufficiently explaining placebo effects. In order to elucidate placebo effects which shows non-separative, connective and relating aspects, new models capable of embracing and explaining such aspects are required. This study attempted to examine how placebo effects could happen in our bodies by means of studies based upon phenomenology and enactivism as models to account for the connective, combining, and interactive relations between various dimensions. This study elucidates the mechanisms of placebo effects using the phenomenological and various enactive concepts. At the heart of connections and relations between several heterogenous dimensions, relating bodies as embodied beings are closely involved in the dynamic interactions with our mind and environments. Our bodies where health, illness, and healing processes through medical practices including placebo effects take place could be considered as the very relation itself in which our internal and external worlds encounter and interact. This study suggests that continual establishment and verification of new theories concerning these relations, which are manifested in placebo effect, are required to deal persuasively with the topic, and the need for appropriate utilization of the relational aspects of placebo effects.

As doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de morte no mundo, sendo o infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) uma condição deste grupo de alta prevalência, morbidade e mortalidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a prevalência dos óbitos ocasionados por IAM em adultos de 20 a 59 anos em Goiás durante o período de 2012 a 2021. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo com dados oriundos do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) do Sistema Único de Saúde. As variáveis analisadas foram: ano, local, sexo, faixa etária, raça, escolaridade, estado civil, macrorregião e região de saúde de acordo com o local de residência. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente em números absolutos e relativos. Entre os anos de 2012 e 2021, Goiás apresentou 7.399 óbitos por IAM registrados no SIM. O óbito foi mais frequente em indivíduos do sexo masculino (71,2%), casados (38,4%), na faixa etária de 50 a 59 anos (61,8%), com 4 a 7 anos de estudo (26,1%) e da raça não branca (65,4%). A macrorregião Centro-oeste concentrou o maior número de registros de óbito (30,5%), com destaque para as regiões de saúde Central e Sul. Houve pouca variação no número de óbitos por IAM no estado de Goiás no período analisado, com maior incremento no ano de 2021. O conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos pode auxiliar na elaboração de medidas preventivas mais efetivas considerando a situação de saúde local.

Published: January 2024

O presente artigo tem como propósito analisar a política de Assistência Estudantil no Ensino Superior sob a perspectiva do PNAES e do PNAEST, abordando a evolução histórica da Assistência Estudantil no Brasil, os impactos desses programas, os desafios e as perspectivas futuras. Para tanto, realizou-se um estudo bibliográfico no qual foram apresentadas as três fases da política de Assistência Estudantil com base em Kowalski (2012), com ênfase na terceira fase que se inicia com a implementação do REUNI e a consequente criação do PNAES e do PNAEST. Para a análise dos programas nas instituições, foram selecionadas, por meio do Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, três pesquisas que tratam do PNAES e três que abordam o PNAEST. O estudo evidenciou uma trajetória marcada por avanços e retrocessos. Contudo, na contemporaneidade, destaca-se que a política de Assistência Estudantil ainda não alcançou uma consolidação plena, especialmente no que diz respeito às universidades estaduais que apresentam ações de Assistência Estudantil mais frágeis e pontuais, se comparadas às universidades federais. Porém, ambas apresentam uma política de Assistência Estudantil insuficiente e até mesmo tímida, diante da crescente demanda apresentada pelos estudantes matriculados.

Desigualdad económica y confianza social: evidencia de los cambios observados en 19 países entre 1990 y 2020
Authors: Márquez Romo Cristian
Published: January 2024

Análisis agregados o con datos individuales de sección cruzada indican que la desigualdad económica erosiona la confianza social. Este trabajo reevalúa esta asociación distinguiendo entre los componentes transversales y longitudinales de la desigualdad, usando para ello una muestra de casi 140 000 individuos de 19 países, a lo largo de treinta años (1990-2020). Los resultados sugieren que hay una relación negativa y robusta entre desigualdad y confianza entre países controlando por variables sociodemográficas y actitudinales, y por el efecto directo y condicional del ingreso. Los individuos en países con mayor desigualdad reportan sistemáticamente menor confianza social, pero la evidencia es menos consistente con que la confianza varíe con la desigualdad. En la segunda parte del trabajo se reafirman estos hallazgos utilizando datos a nivel subnacional de España entre 2008 y 2022.
El cambio al modo de administración telefónico en el barómetro del CIS. Una comparación con las series temporales del ICC
Authors: Balaguer Jaime
Published: January 2024

En abril de 2020 el Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) cambió el modo de administración de sus encuestas, pasando del personal (PAPI/CAPI) al telefónico (CATI). En el presente trabajo examinamos su impacto en dos variables del barómetro: el estado civil y el nivel de estudios. Describimos su evolución mensual desde 2013 a 2023 utilizando el Índice de Confianza del Consumidor (ICC), un estudio continuo que siempre ha sido telefónico, como referencia comparativa. Como veremos, el cambio de modo produce discontinuidades en la medición del nivel educativo, con implicaciones para la calidad e interpretación de resultados. Además, la evidencia apunta a que las empresas privadas que el CIS ha contratado para realizar los trabajos de campo telefónicos del ICC presentan sesgos propios que deben tomarse en cuenta para la comparación y seguimiento de las series.

Published: January 2024

A Circuncisão Masculina (CM) consiste na remoção cirúrgica do prepúcio, com o objetivo de remover o anel fibrótico prepucial, possibilitando a exposição da glande. É praticada desde a antiguidade sendo um dos procedimentos cirúrgicos mais antigos. Era realizada antigamente por razões higiênicas ou religiosas e atualmente as razões médicas ou não médicas são os principais indicativos desta cirurgia. A idade na qual a CM é realizada depende do país, do contexto sociocultural e religioso local. Quando realizada na infância, vários estudos demonstram, que a CM não tem influência negativa na função sexual. Já as taxas de complicações variam entre os estudos, pois dependem do cenário do procedimento cirúrgico e dos métodos de coleta de dados. Algumas complicações como hematoma e infecção local são facilmente tratáveis enquanto outras, mais complicadas e menos comuns, necessitam de intervenções mais complexas. O impacto da CM na função sexual mostra-se bastante positivo quanto a satisfação sexual masculina como relatado na maioria dos estudos demostrados neste trabalho, porém avaliar a função sexual masculina em relação a CM pode ser difícil visto que há diferenças entre as populações e diferenças culturais que envolvem vários aspectos psicossociais na vida do homem. O objetivo deste trabalho foi revisar aspectos na literatura sobre a circuncisão masculina, suas complicações, relação com outras doenças, seu impacto na autoimagem corporal além de avaliar a relação entre circuncisão e a satisfação sexual masculina. Para elaboração deste estudo foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica em várias bases de dados incluindo artigos limitados aos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês sobre o tema CM relacionados à satisfação sexual masculina. Concluímos que a CM se apresenta como uma ferramenta eficaz na prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, com enormes implicações de saúde pública e, seus benefícios não se limitam apenas a saúde, mas se estendem a considerações econômicas da população. Além disso, a CM, tem impacto positivo na função sexual masculina resultando com melhora da satisfação sexual do homem.
A Study of the Meaning of the Sahmyook and Sahmyook Education Based on E. G. White’s Understanding of Man
Authors:   Theological Research Institute of Sahmyook University, Kim Jung Mi , Kim Jin Seop
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the meaning of Sahmyook, the Seventh-day Adventist education in Korea based on the human understanding of Ellen G. White, the founder of Seventh-day Adventist education, and to suggest the meaning and direction of Sahmyook education based on this understanding. Sahmyook (三育) is a Chinese term meaning ‘nurturing three aspects.’ There have been various opinions about what the three aspects are, so an agreed upon definition is needed. The core of Ellen G. White's understanding of human beings is the image of God, and she defined the image of God in three areas: physical, mental, and spiritual, which is the same concept as spirit, soul, and body in 1 Thessalonians 5:23. In defining Sahmyook, the purpose of Adventist education is the transformation of sin-corrupted human nature into the image of God. Thus it is appropriate to use the term spirit rather than virtue because it has the same spiritual purpose as the work of redemption. The mental aspect of man includes the emotion and will as well as the intellect. Human transformation is a holistic process, but the first thing to be transformed is the spirit, and a transformed spirit can work in cooperation with the soul to bring about changes in the soul and body. Therefore, it is more appropriate to align the order of the spiritual, mental, and physical with the meaning of the order of human change.

Enduring Relevance of Geographical Theories in Shaping Human Experiences, International Relations, and Global Affairs
Authors: Wong Meichi
Published: January 2024

This research paper embarks on a comprehensive exploration of prominent geographical theories, unraveling their depth and relevance in our contemporary world. From the historical foundations of Environmental Determinism and Possibilism to the nuanced perspectives of Cultural Landscape Theory, Spatial Interaction Theory, Central Place Theory, Time-Space Compression Theory, and Humanistic Geography, this research examines how geography shapes the human experience and influences the complexities of international relations. Environmental Determinism, despite its deterministic nature, has left an enduring legacy in our understanding of the profound impact of climate, terrain, and resources on human societies. In contrast, Possibilism challenges environmental determinism by emphasizing human adaptability and agency in shaping their surroundings, a perspective deeply relevant in discussions of sustainable development, urban planning, and resource conservation. Cultural Landscape Theory, championed by Carl Sauer, highlights the reciprocal relationship between human culture and the physical environment. As cities expand and cultural preservation becomes paramount, this theory informs decisions regarding heritage preservation and the design of sustainable urban spaces. Spatial Interaction Theory focuses on the movement of people, goods, and information across geographical space. It continues to offer insights into the complexities of contemporary trade, migration, and communication networks, crucial in a globalized world. Walter Christaller’s Central Place Theory, explaining the distribution and hierarchy of cities and towns based on economic principles, is instrumental in urban planning and regional development. David Harvey’s Time-Space Compression Theory, intertwined with globalization, elucidates the transformative effects of technology and transportation on our perception of space and time. These geographical theories transcend their historical roots, shaping contemporary research, policy, and practice. They emphasize that geography is not a passive backdrop but an active and dynamic force in the human experience, offering essential perspectives for navigating the complex and interconnected world of today and tomorrow.
Unveiling Human Behaviour: A Comprehensive Exploration of Influential Paradigms in Psychology
Authors: Silvia Maria
Published: January 2024

This research paper offers a comprehensive exploration of several influential theories in psychology, unveiling the diverse theoretical frameworks that have shaped our understanding of human behaviour, cognition, and development. The paper delves into the foundational paradigms put forth by eminent psychologists, spanning from Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory to Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, capturing the evolution and interplay of these theoretical perspectives within the field of psychology. The paper begins by unravelling Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, emphasizing the role of the unconscious mind and early experiences in shaping behaviour and personality. It then transitions to the behavioural theories of Pavlov and Skinner, highlighting the significance of observable behaviours learned through environmental associations and reinforcements. Subsequent sections illuminate the cognitive theory proposed by Jean Piaget, which explores mental processes and problem-solving mechanisms in shaping human cognition. The humanistic theories of Maslow and Rogers are scrutinized for their emphasis on personal growth and self-actualization, celebrating the human potential for fulfilment and growth. The exploration extends to Albert Bandura’s social learning theory, which underscores the role of observational learning in behaviour acquisition, and evolutionary psychology, which investigates the influence of evolutionary processes on human behaviour. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory unravels the layered and reciprocal influences of various systems on an individual’s development, emphasizing the significance of multiple interconnected environments in shaping human behaviour. At the core of Ecological Systems Theory lies the conception of the individual as existing within a series of nested environments, each layer exerting a distinct and consequential influence on the individual’s development. Lastly, the paper delves into cultural psychology, elucidating the profound impact of cultural norms, values, and practices on human cognition and behaviour. The research paper navigates through these diverse theoretical frameworks, highlighting their inter-connectedness and their collective enrichment of the field of psychology, offering a deeper understanding of human behaviour and development.
Exploring Threads of Legal Sociology for Comprehending Transformative Engagements, Feminist Theories, Legal Pluralism, and Cultural Dynamics
Authors: Al-Mazroui Ali
Published: January 2024

The research paper delves into the multifaceted landscape of the sociology of law, unraveling its evolution from classical sociological theories to contemporary interdisciplinary engagements. Rooted in the works of Max Weber and Émile Durkheim, the sociology of law emerges as a dynamic field that explores the intricate relationship between law and society. The classical sociologists’ foundational insights, including Weber’s conceptualization of a “legal rational form” and Durkheim’s exploration of the transformation of law, set the stage for a comprehensive understanding of law as a social institution. The paper navigates through key developments in the sociology of law, incorporating perspectives from Leon Petrazycki, Eugen Ehrlich, and Georges Gurvitch. It explores debates within legal positivism, particularly the critique by Hans Kelsen, shedding light on distinctions between positive state law and the informal norms regulating everyday life. The work of Theodor Geiger expands the sociological analysis to incorporate Marxist theories, emphasizing law as a factor in social transformation within democratic societies. Post-World War II, the sociology of law gains academic prominence, with scholars like Talcott Parsons emphasizing law’s role as a mechanism for social control. The paper explores diverse perspectives, including critical sociologists viewing law as an instrument of power and Philip Selznick advocating for a moral approach to law. The American sociologist Donald Black contributes a scientific theory of law based on pure sociology, while Jürgen Habermas engages in a discourse challenging systems-oriented perspectives. The Law and Society movement, emerging in the United States, marks a shift toward interdisciplinary engagement with law. Empirical studies within this movement, such as William Felstiner’s work on conflict resolution, exemplify the commitment to understanding law beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. Methodological diversity within the sociology of law is emphasized, encompassing qualitative and quantitative research techniques, discourse analysis, and ethnography.

Permasalahan pada penulisan ini adalah hegemoni media terhadap maraknya pinjaman online (pinjol) yang sering terjadi melalui aplikasi atau website. Tujuan dari penulisan ini melihat pengaruh media sosial terhadap pinjaman online dan dampak yang ditimbulkan dari pinjaman online tersebut. Metode penelitian menggunakan kualitatif deskriptif dengan data sekunder melalui website quora mengenai pinjaman online. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah Teori Hegemoni khususnya Hegemoni media sosial dari Antonio Gramsci. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Masyarakat tertarik dengan pinjol dikarenakan prosesnya tidak ribet dan iklan-iklan penawaran dari pinjol sangat menarik tanpa agunan, prosesnya juga cepat. Namun kekurangan dari pinjol ini data dari si peminjam dapat disalahgunakan, juga cara penagihan yang tidak sopan. Pinjol ini juga menyebabkan orang-orang jadi ketagihan melakukan hutang.

Context: The number of breast cancer patients from year to year is increasing, accompanied by an increase in global mortality; the position in Indonesia has reached 60-70% with end-stage conditions. ERα antiproliferative activity exists in α-mangostin compounds, but this compound still has several physicochemical problems, including its solubility. Therefore, efforts are needed to increase the activity of α-mangostin and its affinity as an alpha estrogen receptor antagonist through a structure-based design method. Aims: To obtain new compounds derived from α-mangostin in the form of a metal complex with cobalt (AM-Co), platinum (AM-Pt), and iron (AM-Fe) as medicinal ingredients that can be used as breast cancer therapeutic agents. Methods: The research methods include in silico studies (pharmacokinetic and toxicity prediction, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics), semi-synthesis to form a complex compound, and testing cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and T-47D human breast cancer cells. Results: From the in vitro test results, it can be seen that the AM-Pt compound showed the best anticancer activity on MCF-7 cells compared to others from IC50 and SI values; this was supported by the results of in silico studies either through molecular docking or molecular dynamics, where this compound was more effective. Conclusions: Furthermore, it can be used as an anticancer candidate; particularly, its activity is predicted to be more potent as an ER antagonist than -mangostin and cisplatin.

Published: January 2024

تأتي هذه الدراسة من أجل التعرف على حجم تأثير الاحتراق الوظيفي على جودة الخدمات الصحية في المستشفيات الحكومية بمحافظة إب، وذلك من خلال إيجاد العلاقة بين الاحتراق الوظيفي بأبعاده (الإجهاد الوظيفي، فقدان الشعور بالعنصر الإنساني، تدني الإنجاز الشخصي) وجودة الخدمات الصحية، ومن ثم تحديد حجم تأثير الاحتراق الوظيفي على جودة الخدمات الصحية.

ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة تم استخدم المنهج الوصفي التحليلي، ومن أجل قياس الاحتراق الوظيفي لدى الموظفين فقد تم الاعتماد على مقياس ما سلاك (Maslach)، ولقياس مستوى جودة الخدمات الصحية من وجهة نظر المرضى تم استخدام مقياس الأداء الفعلي (SERVPER).

        وتكونت عينة الدراسة من الموظفين (الأطباء، الممرضين، الإداريين) لقياس مستوى الاحتراق الوظيفي وبلغ عددهم ((297 طبيباً وممرضاً وإدارياً، وتكونت العينة الثانية لقياس جودة الخدمات الصحية من المرضى المرقدين وبلغ عددهم ((260 مريضاً 

     وقد خلصت الدراسة إلى عدة نتائج أهمها: أن أفراد عينة الدراسة (الموظفين) يعانون من مستوى احتراق وظيفي بدرجة متوسطة على المستوى الكلي، ويرى أفراد العينة (المرضى) أن مستوى جودة الخدمات الصحية التي تقدمها المستشفيات ذات جودة متوسطة، ويوجد تأثير لبعد الإجهاد الوظيفي ولبعد تدني الإنجاز الشخصي على جودة الخدمات الصحية، لا يوجد تأثير لبعد فقدان الشعور بالعنصر الإنساني على جودة الخدمات الصحية.

الكلمات المفتاحية: الاحتراق الوظيفي، جودة الخدمات الصحية.
“STOP THIS NONSENSE, HARRY!”: An analysis of impoliteness strategies in cyberbullying commentary targeting Harry Maguire
Authors: Akinmusuyi Samuel
Published: January 2024

Cyberbullying encompasses a range of negative online behaviours, including harassment, threats, and insults, which can significantly impact individuals’ mental and emotional wellbeing. This study aims to examine the nature and prevalence of impoliteness strategies within cyberbullying commentary targeting Harry Maguire, a prominent figure in the football world. The data consists of 100 purposively selected comments showcasing impoliteness, extracted from the comments section of a post by Maguire, on his official X platform (formerly Twitter) account dated 7th November 2021. Culpeper’s (2005) Model of Impoliteness serves as the theoretical framework while a mixed method approach is adopted in this study. Out of the five strategies proposed by Culpeper (2005), this study discovers four strategies present in the selected cyberbullying comments. The findings show that Positive Impoliteness (39.6%) is the most frequently employed strategy, and this is followed by Bald on Record Impoliteness, which represents 27.7% of the total comments. The study concludes that within the digital sports community on the X platform, fans frequently employ strategies of positive impoliteness and bald-on-record impoliteness as a means to challenge the face wants of players, such as Harry Maguire, particularly when their performances are below expectation.
Rohingya Crisis In Bangladesh: Causes, Consequences And Remedies
Authors: Islam Md. Ashraful
Published: January 2024

Bangladesh, a nation marked by its dense population, continues to wrestle with multifaceted challenges even 52 years after gaining independence while navigating the sophistications of development. Among these challenges, the pressing issue of the Rohingya people's plight takes center stage, with various forms of oppression, including mass killings, executions, forced labor, deportation, and the denial of fundamental human rights, rendering them stateless. This study seeks to dissect the roots of the Rohingya crisis and explore its repercussions on Bangladesh. Employing an exploratory research approach, data from secondary sources were qualitatively analyzed using content analysis to discern underlying themes and patterns. The findings reveal that the Rohingya crisis is primarily driven by the lack of documentation, the rise of authoritarianism, and a complex religious landscape. Additionally, the paper identifies social, economic, and environmental challenges as direct consequences of refugee migration in Bangladesh. These insights hold significant implications for policymakers and practitioners actively involved in addressing the Rohingya crisis. Offering a comprehensive analysis, the study also proposes practical policy recommendations grounded in the specific context of the crisis, aiming for tangible applications in real-world scenarios.
Dance Criticism after Dance Studies
Authors: Mattingly Kate
Published: January 2024

Chapter 4 interrogates relationships between dance criticism and dance studies, an interdisciplinary field that gained prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, and sought to differentiate itself from dance criticism. However, scholars in dance studies perpetuated some of the same systemic exclusions that critics reproduced during the twentieth century. This chapter suggests that dance scholars sought to validate their existence in academic settings and discourse, in part, by strategically distancing their writing from that of critics. Concurrently, in 1994, New Yorker critic Arlene Croce wrote “Discussing the Undiscussable,” a “review” of a performance by Bill T. Jones that Croce did not attend, and an article that continues to influence dance criticism and curricula.
Conclusion
Authors: Mattingly Kate
Published: January 2024

The conclusion investigates our present moment, in 2022, emphasizing a cyclical approach that is evident in each chapter: our past informs our future, and an understanding of the complexities of historical records enriches our response to current concerns. Debates about the teaching of critical race theory expose how dominant communities and ideologies can render other people and value systems invisible or inconsequential. Just as the disciplinary formation of dance history was a “self-validating” activity, one that relied on criticism in the popular press, and brought prominence to techniques being taught in university settings, the conclusion expands this lens on our teaching of history and asks whose voices are excluded and why? This book does not pretend to have all the solutions or remedies to obstacles created by systemic exclusions, and calls for ongoing dialogue and action. The conclusion ends with the suggestion that more attention to relationships between value systems and methods of evaluation could, potentially, make dance criticism more equitable and inclusive.
