Increasing Exposure of Digital Devices and Its Impact on Physiological and Psychological Development Among Children: A Systematic Review of Prospective Studies
Authors: Pandey Saroj R. , Vaishnav Rajshree S.
Published: January 2024

It is true that technology make our lives very comfortable, but it should not be at the expense of our health. Exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields has raised scientific and public concerns. It is necessary to acknowledge the adverse effects on the health among children using digital devices. Innovation in computers and mobile 5G phones, online games and use of social media applications are in a great boom. Study of various reviews give the current exposure effects due to these radiations. Here in this paper, we have included studies published in peer-reviewed journals between 2010 and 2023 which are based on empirical evidence and reviews. We have identified 57 published papers on health effects of digital devices on physiological and psychological aspects of children. Some of the major health related physiological problems are reported in the reviews are musculoskeletal problems, sleep disturbances, headache issues and eyestrain. Whereas Psychological problems highlighted in the reviews are poor concentration, memory loss, stress, depression etc. At present, there is insufficient data to draw firm conclusions about health effects due to the exposure of digital devices which are occurring in the everyday environment. Currently, there is little epidemiological evidence indicating that the use of digital devices causes adverse health effects.
Study of Heat Transfer in a Fixed Bed Centimeter Furnace with Pottery Walls : The Case of Natural Laterite and Kaolinic Laterite
Authors: Valea Arnaud R. A.A , Ouedraogo Seydou , Nzihou Jean Fidèle
Published: January 2024

The valorization of municipal waste is a good option for energy production. Our work consists of a numerical study of the heat equations in a fixed-bed centimetric grate furnace modeled by a natural laterite inner wall and a kaolin laterite wall. Simulation results showed that the kiln filling rate at 100% is 5 kg of fuel. From 500o C as the starting point for heating, the temperature reaches a maximum of 1225o C and 1050o C respectively for natural and kaolin laterite at 30 minutes of operation. In addition, the internal temperature is optimal around 35 ± 5 hgs-1 of internal air flow. A drop in internal temperature was observed after 35 minutes due to mass degradation and convection of the outlet gas. Natural laterite tends to retain heat inside the kiln more than kaolinite, which dissipates too quickly. These results show that, depending on how heat is converted into energy, the right materials and operations need to be chosen to optimize the process.
Right To Property and Maintenance of Illegitimate Child Under Hindu Law
Authors: Hazarika Rupa
Published: January 2024

The concept of property is evolving from the days of adopting the law relating to property of Hindu people. The laws relating to property undergoes many changes from time to time as to accommodate the changing need of the society. The major changes in the law of property held after the adoption of our Constitution. The Article 14 of the Constitution of India guarantees equality among men and women as a fundamental right. Following by Article 15 which allows special provisions can be made for women and child. Article 19 1(f) which said that right to property was a fundamental right, which later on amended and now property is a legal right under article 300A of the Constitution of India. Article 39(f) which is directive principle also concern about the safeguard of the child. The court observed that right to property is not only a constitutional right but also a human right1, and no person can be deprived of his property save and except by and in accordance with law. Due to Constitutional guarantees the legislature has brought Hindu Succession Act in 19562 and Hindu Marriage Act in 19553 along with three other Acts. Hindu Succession Act has amended and codified the law relating to intestate succession4. This Act has laid down a uniform and comprehensive system of inheritance of property. Moreover this Act gave rights to women to property which were unknown till then. The provision of this Act in relation to property is clear for legitimate child, but is silent for illegitimate child. The paper will focus on the right of illegitimate progeny to maintenance from their parents as well as right of inheritance to their parents self acquired as well as ancestral property in a Hindu family.
Association between the degree of autism and permissiveness of pragmatic impairments in Japanese-speaking adults with and without autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Oi Manabu , Mizutani Ryuko , Fukuda Junko , Hiratani Michio
Published: January 2024

Twenty-seven pragmatic skills and social engagement sub-items and 7 language structure sub-items from the Communication Checklist – Adult were rated by 124 typically developing (TD) adults and 29 adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on a 5-point scale. The results indicated that the higher the score of the TD adults on the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ), the more they evaluated pragmatic impairments as non-problematic; however, no correlation was found between their AQ score and evaluation of language impairments. In contrast, the higher the score of the adults with ASD on the AQ, the more they evaluated both pragmatic and language impairments as problematic. The relationships between AQ scores and the permissiveness of pragmatic impairments in adults are discussed.

Evaluation of the Neogene depositional dynamics in the Malay-Tho Chu Basin based on seismic analysis: effects of local and regional tectonism and paleoclimatic variations
Authors: Tu-Anh Nguyen , Fyhn Michael B.W. , Boldreel Lars O. , Abatzis Ioannis , Nguyen Huyen T.
Published: January 2024

Depositional environments in areas located near sea level are vulnerable to even subtle changes in both tectonism, climate and eustatic sea level. Sorting out mechanisms behind depositional changes in inner shelf-margins and epeiric seas is therefore far from straight forward. The epeiric Malay-Tho Chu Basin, located in the shallow Gulf of Thailand offshore Vietnam, contains a thick uppermost Oligocene to Recent post-rift succession. Based on 18000 km of 2D seismic profiles, the uppermost Oligocene-Recent succession is subdivided into six seismic sequences. Seismic facies mapping of each sequence complemented by information from industry completion reports of 14 wells document a gradual increase in marine influence from latest Oligocene through Middle Miocene time. The increased marine influence reflects the propagation and opening of the southwestern spreading arm of the East Vietnam Sea (South China Sea (East Sea)) combined with rapid subsidence in the Malay-Tho Chu Basin resulting from fast thermal relaxation following Oligocene rifting and amplified by mild fault-controlled subsidence in especially the western part of the area. From the latest Middle Miocene, slowed subsidence and regression occurred in association with uplift in the nearby southwestern East Vietnam Sea. From the latest Miocene, and during the Pliocene and Pleistocene, subsidence rates increased promoting marine conditions towards the East Vietnam Sea in the southeast. Meanwhile, Mekong River avulsion combined with hinterland uplift stimulated fluvial and alluvial deposition in the northern and western parts of the basin. The long-term depositional pattern was controlled primarily by tectonics, drainage evolution and climate. Meanwhile, flood- and delta plain deposits intercalated with stacked fluvial incisions, often filled by estuarine deposits, document short-lived environmental changes most likely controlled by eustatic sea level fluctuations. Such intervals developed during latest Middle Miocene to Pleistocene periods of slow subsidence or fast depositional rates and are interpreted to be the result of substantial eustatic sea level fluctuations.
Advanced testing and characterization of low-temperature cracking in bitumen and mastic
Authors: Shabani Amir , Jelagin Denis , Partl Manfred N.
Published: January 2024

Low-temperature cracking is one of the most common failures in asphalt pavements, especially in cold regions. Accordingly, considerable amount of research has been performed in order to understand the low-temperature cracking mechanisms and to propose test methods for characterizing and determining cracking performance of bitumen and asphalt mixtures under freezing conditions. The existing test methods, however, require expensive equipment and skilled technicians; they are thus not well suited for routine tests. As a contribution to mitigate this situation, this study intends to investigate experimentally and characterize numerically the low-temperature cracking behavior of bitumen and mastic materials using a refined thermal cracking test method. The proposed method, the annular restrained cold temperature induced cracking (ARCTIC) test, allows to determine the low-temperature cracking properties of the mastic and bitumen with a relatively simple setup. In this paper, finite element (FE) modeling is used for evaluating the effect of test parameters on the temperature, stress and strain gradients induced in the specimen during the test. The ARCTIC test is employed to measure cracking temperatures of two bitumen and two mastic materials. The measurements repeatability is examined and the effect of bitumen type on the thermal cracking potential of bitumen and mastic is evaluated. FE modeling is employed to examine the effect of thermomechanical parameters on thermal cracking performance of the materials and to back-calculate fracture stress and strain from measurements. The results highlight the potential of the proposed test and analysis method for evaluation of low-temperature cracking in bitumen and asphalt mastic.

Сверхбогатые в России: состав и динамика группы
Authors: Мареева Светлана Владимировна , Слободенюк Екатерина Дмитриевна
Published: January 2024

Исследование посвящено труднодоступной и сравнительно мало изученной группе – сверхбогатым россиянам. Объектом исследования выступили россияне, входившие в списки богатейших бизнесменов Forbes с 2004 по 2021 г. На основании специально собранной эмпирической базы проанализирован состав группы по ключевым социально-экономическим и демографическим показателям, прослежены его изменения в ходе новейшей истории России, оценена общая динамика группы. Выявлено, что группа в значительной степени воспроизводит свой состав – ежегодно практически на 90%, в среднесрочной перспективе  – примерно на две трети. За последнее десятилетие ключевые характеристики ее состава в силу невысокой степени обновления изменились слабо, но ряд тенденций заслуживает внимания. Группа сверхбогатых сегодня состоит преимущественно из лиц мужского пола, хотя в последние годы в ней появились и женщины. Она характеризуется высоким образовательным уровнем ее представителей, хотя сравнительная значимость образования сверх высшего для них со временем снижается, и оно частично замещается зарубежным образованием, в том числе для детей. Представителям группы свойственно скорее высокое социальное происхождение (однако данные для старшего поколения бизнесменов, преобладающих в составе группы, в этом отношении ограничены). По характеристикам места рождения и места получения высшего образования группа все больше сдвигается в  сторону столиц, где концентрируются жизненные возможности, хотя в этом отношении пока все же остается неоднородной. Этой неоднородности способствует смещение в ее составе в сторону россиян старших возрастов, места рождения и образования которых более дифференцированы. В силу устойчивости состава группы она пока продолжает стареть. Сверхбогатые россияне сегодня неоднородны и по карьерным траекториям обретения успеха: в группе представлены бизнесмены, начинавшие свой трудовой путь как с высоких профессиональных позиций, так и с низких; со временем растет доля тех, кто начинает свой путь с позиций вне найма. Показано, что за последнее десятилетие отраслевой срез бизнесов российских сверхбогатых изменился слабо, отразив отсутствие фундаментальных структурных трансформаций в экономике, хотя все большую роль в нем начинают играть отрасли, связанные с сектором услуг и созданием информации/технологий. Выявленные характеристики и динамика группы, с одной стороны, отражают особенности развития страны с изменением сравнительной роли разных отраслей, снижением роли государственного сектора как «точки старта», концентрацией возможностей в  столичных городах. С другой стороны, устойчивость группы обеспечивает инертность ее характеристик и отсутствие качественных преобразований в  ее составе и портрете в 2000–2020-х гг., в отличие от периода 1990-х гг., когда обновление группы было гораздо более высоким, а изменения в ее портрете заметными.
Phase diagram of polymer electrolyte: (x)(PEO) – ( 1-x)CF3COOLi
Authors: Delgado Miguel Iban , Jurado Nori Magali , Vargas Rubén Antonio
Published: January 2024

Solid polymer electrolytes based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and lithium trifluoroacetate (CF3COOLi) were prepared by a solvent casting method by different concentrations of salt. The membranes resulting of slow evaporation were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and its phase diagram was drawing for a second thermal scan. The DSC curves on the first thermal cycle show three anomalies at 303, 338 and 393 K, that are slightly shifted with the salt content. For high concentrations, the intensity of the endothermic peak associated with the melting point of PEO (338 K) decreases, that one for the third transition increases with the salt content, the second peak (melting point of PEO) disappear when the concentration reaches the value of X = 0,405 (given in fraction of mass: salt/(salt + polymer)). These results and the change of conductivity demonstrate the formation of a new complex between the PEO and the CF3COOLi.

Published: January 2024

The stability of Reut and Beck columns subjected to any combination of gravity and non-conservative (fixed-line of follower) comprenssive axial forces is presented using the dynamic formulation. The proposed method is effects of the end gravity force, translational and rotational inertias along the member. Analytical results are intended to capture the limit on the range of applicability of the static or Euler’s method in the stability analysis of slender columns, and to define the transition from static instability (with zero frequency) to dynamic instability (“flutter”). Finally, the comparison between the characteristic stability equations of slender Reut and Beck columns is presented.

Published: January 2024

Treatment intensification of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children with L-asparaginase (L-ASP) improves therapy effectiveness and shows high survival rates. The unique biological properties of this enzyme make it possible to suppress tumor blasts proliferation by reducing blood asparagine concentration. L-ASP use is limited by toxicity and hypersensitivity reactions observed in 75 % of cases. Although most complications during L-ASP therapy are mild/moderate and are manageable with adequate accompanying therapy, the development of severe side effects leads to forced withdrawal of L-ASP, which significantly reduces the likelihood of a favorable outcome in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. One of the most severe toxicity manifestations is the development of asparaginase-associated pancreatitis. It worsens the prognosis and may cause patients’ death. This article presents both current data about asparaginase-associated pancreatitis and treatment experience of this complication at the Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology of the N. N. Blokhin National Research Center of Oncology.

Published: January 2024

Background. According to WHO guidelines, one of the criteria for diagnosis of polycythemia vera is the presence of somatic mutations in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene, but to date there is no universally accepted simple method to analyze these mutations. We have previously proposed two methods for screening such mutations based on heteroduplex and HRM (High Resolution Melt) assays, which are relatively cheap and fast compared to sequencing.

Aim. To analyze the sensitivity of these screening methods.

Materials and methods. The study used cloned DNA samples from 6 patients with various mutations in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene that we had previously identified, as well as a clone of the corresponding wild-type DNA segment. Dilution of the cloned mutant samples with wild-type clones was performed to obtain samples with different levels of allele burden: 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.13, 1.56 and 0.78 %. Heteroduplex analysis followed by PAGE (polyacrylamide gel) and HRM analysis was then performed with the diluted samples.

Results. The sensitivity threshold of the heteroduplex analysis was found to be between 3.13–6.25 % allele burdens depending on the specific mutation, the sensitivity threshold of the HRM assay was 6.25–12.5 % similarly.

Conclusion. Our proposed methods of heteroduplex analysis followed by PAGE and HRM-analysis for the detection of polycythemia vera-specific mutations in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene allow increasing the efficiency of using different types of sequencing and can be used as simpler and less expensive methods of preliminary screening of these mutations.
The Rise of Empress Wu Ze-tian (624–705) Relatives as Reflected in the Dynastic Histories “Old Book of Tang” and “New Book of Tang”
Authors: Skrypnik Ekaterina S.
Published: January 2024

This article is devoted to the analysis of actions undertaken by Wu Ze-tian 武則天 (624–705), the first and only woman in Chinese history, who was bequeathed the title of august emperor and founded the Great Zhou state (Da Zhou 大周； 690–705) to raise the status of the Wu 武 family, as they were represented in the main sources of study for this period – the normative histories Old Book of Tang and New Book of Tang. Career advancement steps of the three most well-known relatives (Wu Cheng-si 武承嗣 (649–698), Wu San-si 武三思 (?–707) and Wu You-ning 武攸宁 (? –705) are examined. Special attention is given to the main stages in the rise of the Empress’s ancestors, including her father Wu Shi-huo, who made the posthumous journey from a guo-gong 國公 to August Emperor (huang-di 皇帝). A conclusion is reached that Wu’s consistent actions in this direction allowed her to replace the royal Tang dynasty with the Wu family in the ideological structure of China for an entire decade. Nevertheless, in the final period of her reign, Wu Ze-tian was forced to give up the hope of installing the Wu family as rulers of China.
On Searching for Political Groups in the Highest Levels of Power in PRC Based on Quantitative Analysis of the Articles of Renmin Ribao (2014-2018) Devoted to the Belt and Road Initiative
Authors: Filina Diana V.
Published: January 2024

The paper is focused on the problem of identifying political groups inside the top levels of the PRC leadership, overcoming the main methodological hardships that emerge usually when an attempt at a classification of political actors is made. One possible way to do it would be to use the methods of quantitative analysis to locate a pattern in how the chief Chinese official mass media Renmin Ribao mentions the political actors in their publications and articles, in studying the distribution of such mentions. The articles on the Belt and Road Initiative were selected for this research. The distribution of the mention of personalities in publications on this topic allows us to distinguish two groups. The first is formed around Chinese President Xi Jinping, the second around Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the PRC. The principles of the approach to the analysis of information in media publications used in this study were generally formulated by V.G. Gelbras. The methods of distributing personalities into groups are based on the works of D.V. Deopik related to classification problems. The result of the study was a quantitatively substantiated grouping of political actors and formulation of a method to determine the political affiliation not only of figures from the highest echelons of power in the PRC, but also of those who are at lower levels, that is, those about whom there is little information in the open sources.

Araştırmada işte yaşanan zihinsel ve fiziksel yorgunluk ile algılanan stresin bireyin işe tutkunluk düzeyi üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığının ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır. Buradan hareketle, araştırmada, Chalder vd. (1993) tarafından geliştirilen Yorgunluk Ölçeği, Cohen vd. (1983) tarafından geliştirilen Algılanan Stres Ölçeği ve Schaufeli ve Bakker (2003) tarafından geliştirilen İşe Tutkunluk Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, devlet üniversitelerinde görev yapan 50/d kapsamındaki 152 Araştırma Görevlisi oluşturmaktadır. Bu örneklemin seçilmesinin nedeni, 50/d kapsamındaki araştırma görevlilerinin devlet üniversitelerinde lisansüstü eğitim süresince görev yaparak, daimi bir kadroda olmamaları ve özellikle doktora eğitimi süresi sonunda kadroyla ilişiklerinin kesilmesinden dolayı stres ve yorgunluğa yoğun olarak maruz kalmalarıdır. Araştırma kapsamında gerçekleştirilen istatistiksel analizlere göre, fiziksel ve zihinsel yorgunluk ile algılanan stresin işe tutkunluğun boyutları üzerinde negatif yönde etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca, araştırma görevlileri arasında yüksek lisans ders aşamasından doktora tez aşamasına ilerledikçe yorgunluk ve algılanan stres düzeyinin yükseldiği saptanmıştır.
Energy, exergy and entropy analysis with R1234yf as an alternate refrigerant to R134a of automobile air conditioning system
Authors: PATEL Bhaveshkumar , PAREKH Ashok
Published: January 2024

A major portion of the worldwide emissions arise from mobile air-conditioning systems with hydrofluorocarbon refrigerant as working substance and which is one of major cause for the greenhouse effect. R134a refrigerant having GWP of 1400 has been extensively used in car air conditioning. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the current R134a refrigerant must be phase out as per Kigali Amendment. The present study deals with cooling load calculation of car model by heat balance method as per ASHRAE standard using local climate condition. Further, thermodynamic analysis of R1234yf as an alternate refrigerant to R134a has been carried out for automobile air conditioning system. The required properties of refrigerants are extracted from Engineering Equation Software. The thermodynamic analysis is carried out to study the effect of operating parameters viz. condensing temperature, evaporating tempera-ture, degree of superheating and degree of subcooling on COP, EDR, exergy efficiency and entropy generation. The previous literature reports mainly focus on separate study of either cooling load calculation or energy analysis or exergy analysis of R1234yf and R134a for au-tomobile air conditioning system, while this paper presents the comprehensive study of new low GWP R1234yf as an alternate refrigerant to R134a in automobile air conditioning system with cooling load calculation including the concept of energy, entropy and exergy analysis. The percentage difference in COP between R134a and R1234yf system varies from 2.44 % to 4.78 % while percentage difference in EDR varies from 6.79 % to 2.87 % when evaporating temperature varied from -10 °C to 10 °C. With 12 °C of superheating at compressor inlet, the COP of R134a is 3.9 whereas COP of R1234yf is 3.75, which makes 3.85 % lower than that of R134a. The R1234yf has 4.78 % lower value of exergy efficiency as compared to that of R134a at evaporating temperature of -10 °C and it is found that maximum exergy destruction takes place in compressor.
Characteristics of medical students with problematic smartphone use: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Mehrzadeh Arman , Shiraly Ramin , Hashemi Seyedeh Niko , Dehghanian Kayvon S.
Published: January 2024

Background: Excessive smartphone use is common among university students and can negatively affect students’ mental health, but data from Middle-East countries is scarce. Objective of the study was to determine the characteristics of medical students affected by and the prevalence of problematic smartphone use in a sample of Iranian medical students.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a large Iranian medical university. A convenience sample of 356 students of different years of medical training were recruited. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, daily estimated average time using a smartphone, and main motivations to use a smartphone were collected through a self-reported questionnaire. Problematic smartphone use (PSU) was evaluated using the smartphone addiction scale – short version (SAS-SV) questionnaire. Backward logistic regression analysis was used to understand independent factors associated with PSU.
Results: Overall, two-thirds of Iranian medical students were affected by PSU, including 68.5% of male and 64% of female students. Students who lived alone had significantly higher SAS-SV scores than those who lived with their families (p=0.007). Additionally, students with daily smartphone use >4 hours were 3.2 times more likely to be diagnosed with PSU (p<0.001). Social media use was the main motivation that strongly predicted the presence of PSU among medical students (adjusted OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.68-4.89).
Conclusions: Main motivation to use and duration of phone use are the most important factors predicting problematic smartphone use among medical students.
Promoción de la lectura recreativa y misión de las bibliotecas académicas
Authors: Camargo-Rojas Lucía
Published: January 2024

A pesar del renovado interés por trabajar el tema de promoción de lectura recreativa en las bibliotecas académicas, la mayoría de las iniciativas que se realizan son actividades aisladas. Este artículo busca profundizar sobre cómo la bibliografía científica ha tratado la relación de la promoción de lectura recreativa con la misionalidad de este tipo de unidades del ámbito de la educación superior. Se analizó la bibliografía de 2000 a 2022 a partir de las dimensiones de política, infraestructura, personal y beneficios. Se encontró que existen documentos científicos donde se describen y enuncian las posibilidades de la promoción de lectura recreativa a través de una mirada ampliada al apoyo a la docencia y la extensión pero que no se han traducido en políticas concretas. En gran parte debido a que hacen falta investigaciones que evidencien los beneficios de las iniciativas y a que generalmente el personal no necesariamente cuenta con las competencias para llevar a cabo los programas. Se observa la necesidad de estudios de caso que demuestren la conexión de las actividades con los retos actuales universitarios para la generación de nuevas políticas y perfiles que lleven a cabo programas sólidos en donde la evaluación sea una práctica constante.

Authors: Ozturk Nuray , Zakia Hossain Syeda , Mackey Martin , Brennan Patrick , Brennan Patrick , Shukri Adam
Published: January 2024

Cervical cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the UAE and the fourteenth most common cancer among women in Australia (Sung et al., 2021). Despite the introduction of vaccinations and cervical screening programs in both countries, Emirati and non-Emirati women living in Ras Al Khaimah and migrant women living in Sydney still face significant health disparities when accessing cervical cancer screening services. Currently, there is a lack of literature examining the obstacles to and facilitators of cervical screening among these groups of women. This study aimed to better understand the knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer and factors that hinder or promote access to cervical screening among these groups, which is crucial if healthcare professionals and policymakers are to deliver culturally sensitive services. This study was conducted in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) and Sydney. The results identified several barriers to cervical cancer screening participation, including lack of knowledge, emotional, cultural, religious and psychological barriers, and organizational factors. The findings have implications for policies to address these barriers and encourage women to participate in health awareness initiatives and screening services.

The National School Health Policy needs to be expanded to incorporate this vital issue. The law enforcement agents regulating drug trafficking in and out of Zambia should begin to beam their search lights on secondary school students.

Published: January 2024

This study examines the procedures adapted for the proper translation of (character) names in the anime Beyblade and the effects of applying these translation procedures. Character names belong to the Culture Specific Items (CSIs) group known as proper names. As a CSI, names can contain historical and/or cultural references, which makes them difficult to translate. The study extracted the original names from the source text, Bakuten Shoot Beyblade, and compared them to their English version in the target text, Beyblade. The data collected were analyzed using the translation procedures proposed by Fernandes (2006) and Hervey Higgins (1992) to determine how the translation affects the movie. The analysis indicated that name translation in Beyblade mainly employed translation procedures of Recreation, Substitution, and Copy. They result in the loss of cultural reference and hidden meaning behind the names, affecting the story's intrinsic elements, particularly regarding the plot and characterization. The American audiences, therefore, are deprived of the opportunity to gain specific insights into the characters’ roles, relationships, and traits embedded in the character names of the original Bakuten Shoot Beyblade.
PIERRE-FELIX BOURDIEU'S PHILOSOPHICAL BASIS IN LITERARY STUDIES
Authors: Harendika Melania Shinta
Published: January 2024

The concepts of Pierre-Felix Bourdieu regarding capital, habitus, and fields are often found in literary studies. However, only a few studies examine the basic assumptions behind these concepts. This study discusses Bourdieu's assumptions about individuals, society, authors, literary works, and literary studies to be accepted entirely. This study adopts the perspective put forward by Ahimsa-Putra. A literature review, used as a research method, helps the author describe these basic assumptions comprehensively. This study reveals that individuals have strengths and perspectives that determine their strategy in social life. This strategy is required to survive because Bourdieu said society is a game. In this case, the game also influences literary works. Bourdieu created two poles: autonomous and heteronomous between intellectuals and authors. Therefore, the literature study requires in-depth observation methods to describe it clearly.

This qualitative study conducts a discourse analysis of Morgan Freeman's speech at the Qatar 2022 World Cup Opening, focusing on the use of interpersonal metafunction. The research explores how Freeman's linguistic choices establish social relationships, convey attitudes, and reflect the social and cultural context of the event. The analysis reveals that Freeman predominantly utilized declarative clauses, creating a sense of unity and engagement with the audience. Additionally, a high percentage of modalizations of probability was observed, indicating his confidence in the success of the World Cup and the unifying power of sports. Freeman's linguistic choices also reflected his intention to promote inclusivity and foster a sense of belonging. Modulations of obligation and inclination further shaped the audience's perception and engagement, emphasizing invitation, encouragement, and inclusivity rather than strict commands or obligations. Freeman's language choices positioned him as an inclusive and engaging speaker, resonating with the diverse audience and reflecting the social and cultural context of the event. This study contributes to understanding how language influences social interactions and enhances audience engagement in a global setting.

Authors: GÜREŞEN Ülkü
Published: January 2024

Though network analysis has a long history in both natural and social sciences it has emerged as a new method in psychology in recent years. Unlike medical disorders, mental disorders are not observable in laboratory. However, we can identify them by the way of observable symptoms. According to the network perspective, a disorder occurs when an external event triggers a psychological symptom. Activated symptom also interacts with other symptoms and forms a pattern of symptoms. Network approach criticizes traditional categorical diagnostic approach and focuses on symptom organization. Probably, treating the most effective symptom will accelerate recovery process and provide more effective treatment. Network analysis can be used in both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Psychological networks provide opportunities to investigate direction of the relationship among symptoms, comorbidity, external triggers of psychological symptoms, effectiveness of treatment, comparison of symptom pattern according to sample characteristics. Despite the utility of psychological networks, accuracy of them has been questioned and certain methods to prove accuracy of networks proposed as response. Technological progress in recent years enabled network analysis to be more eligible in psychology. R Statistics software is very useful in network analysis which is totally free and open sourced and supported by many additional packages. This review article aims is to provide information about usage of network analysis in psychology, especially in clinical research. In the first part historical and theoretical background of network analysis was introduced and in the following parts structure, validity of psychological networks and R Statistics Software which is used for conducting network analysis were explained briefly.
