Asymptotics of Far Fields of Surface and Internal Gravitational Waves from Local and Nonlocal Perturbation Sources
Authors: Vladimirov Igor'
Published: January 2025

The far fields of internal gravity waves from a radially symmetric initial perturbation of lines of equal density in a layer of a stratified medium of finite thickness, as well as the far fields of surface waves from an impulse source in a homogeneous liquid of finite depth, are studied. Integral representations of wave perturbations are obtained. Uniform and non-uniform asymptotic solutions are constructed that allow describing the amplitude-phase structure of the far fields of surface and internal waves. It is established that uniform asymptotics make it possible to effectively calculate long range wave fields both near and far from the wave front.

Published: January 2025

Access to quality healthcare has been considered an apolitical objective on a global scale. Despite this, there are occasionally shortages of medicines because they are not always readily available. A drug supply problem that necessitates a change that affects patient care and requires the use of an alternative agent is known as a medicine shortage. A shortage can occur at any point during a medicine's lifecycle and in any part of the pharmaceutical distribution chain (pharmacy, pharmaceutical company, or wholesaler). This research aims to evaluate the availability of medications in pharmacies in Special Region of Yogyakarta. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 120 pharmacies in Yogyakarta province, during March to May 2022. WHO essential medicine indicators were used to observe the list of medicine shortage, and its characteristics, including the reasons for medicine shortages in pharmacies, classification of unavailable drugs, and the consequences of medicine shortages. Data were presented descriptively. There were 650 drug items (a total of 1560 items) in one month that were unavailable at 91 pharmacies (75.83%) at least once every six months. The active ingredients that are in short supply are atorvastatin (44.17%), diazepam (21%), azythromycin (13.33%), and haloperidol (13.21%). The medications that were in high demand were also the ones that were in short supply. The reasons for the medicine shortages were rarely communicated to the pharmacies. Customers were able to fill their prescriptions since there were usually enough alternatives. But every third time, there were problems at the pharmacy because there weren't enough medicines. Due to the potential for unhappy customers and increased workload for the pharmacy staff, these shortages may be significant for both the customer and the pharmacy.

Published: January 2025

Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics shows that processed food and beverage imports have increased and are the most imported products in Indonesia. Soft candy is a processed product that contains gelatin and can be sourced from pork or beef. The analytical technique used to analyze food ingredients, one of which is FTIR. This study will determine whether FTIR can investigate bovine and porcine gelatin in soft candy products combined with chemometrics. This type of research is non-experimental. The method used is FTIR analysis combined with PLS and PCA. Candies were isolated using the protein precipitation method. The isolation results were analyzed for their functional groups using FTIR. PLS is used to optimize the selected range of wavenumbers as a chemometric model, a quantitative analysis to find calibration values and internal and external validation. PCA functions to classify market candy according to its source. The results showed that FTIR detected the functional groups -OH, aliphatic CH, C=O, -NH, -CN. The optimized wave number using PLS is 1600 – 1621.92 cm-1. The calibration parameter using RMSEC produces a value of 0.188 and an R2 value of 0.999. Internal validation obtained an RMSECV value of 2.891 and an R2 value of 0.990.
In contrast, external validation produces an RMSEP value of 1.652 and an R2 value of 0.998. The PCA grouping shows that codes Hrb and Y are close to bovine gelatin source points, while code C is not close to beef or porcine. So FTIR cannot distinguish the source of bovine or porcine gelatin from candy, but PLS and PCA help is needed.

Los exvotos que aquí se exponen son analizados desde la religiosidad popular. Se trata de expresiones votivas encontradas en la red, en donde se caracteriza una cierta trasgresión social, es decir, cierta incomodidad a las normas establecidas, especialmente con los santuarios y por supuesto, con ciertos sectores de la sociedad. El objetivo es mostrar una posibilidad de interpretación del abigarrado proceso social en que surgen estas expresiones cúlticas, muchas veces emanadas de los grupos subalternos y marginales.
The Hegemony of Financial Experts and Big Global Banks: a Critical Analysis of International Banking Rules
Authors: Ramírez Ortiz Derzu Daniel
Published: January 2025

This article provides a critical political economy analysis of global banking regulations formulated by the Basel Committee and the Financial Stability Board. By examining the political bias in rules that appear neutral, elucidating the intellectual leadership exercised by technocratic spaces where these banking regulations are developed, and exploring the legitimacy these spaces and regulations gain among key stakeholders, it argues that the prevailing economic discourse in these regulations, though seemingly apolitical, aligns with the consolidation of a hegemonic structure that favors banks deemed too big to fail.
Resumen
 
Este artículo ofrece una lectura crítica de economía política sobre las normas bancarias globales formuladas en el Comité de Basilea y el Consejo de Estabilidad Financiera. Al examinar el sesgo político en reglas que aparentan ser neutrales, dilucidar el liderazgo intelectual de los espacios tecnocráticos donde se desarrollan dichas normas, y analizar la legitimidad que estos espacios y sus normas adquieren frente a actores clave, se argumenta que el discurso económico dominante en estas regulaciones, aunque aparentemente apolítico, está alineado con la consolidación de una estructura hegemónica que favorece a los bancos demasiado grandes para quebrar.
Women, Feminisms and Founding Myths in International Relations
Authors: Villanueva Lira Jose Ricardo
Published: January 2025

Over the past few years, a significant body of academic writing in International Relations (ir) has contributed to critically reflecting on the traditional narrative of ir. Most of this literature has focused on the early years of ir, questioning its supposed birth in 1919, as well as the existence of liberal idealism and the first great debate. This article seeks to contribute to such critical efforts, adding as variables women internationalists and some feminisms of the early part of the 20th century—particularly related to socialism and/or pacifism—to show important shortcomings of conventional history. Through a textual analysis of the writings of various internationalists of the early 20th century, as well as their work in building institutions related to international affairs, the article exposes five disciplinary myths of ir. It concludes that there is a diversity of contributions from various feminisms and women to the discipline before 1980, although they continue to be obscured by orthodox history. This has important implications for our historiographical understanding of ir, the roots of internationalist feminism, and the possibility of rescuing new theoretical approaches.
Resumen
Durante los últimos años, un número importante de escritos académicos en relaciones internacionales (rrii) ha contribuido a reflexionar críticamente sobre la narrativa tradicional de la misma. La mayor parte de esta literatura se ha concentrado en los años tempranos de rrii poniendo en tela de juicio su supuesto nacimiento en 1919, así como la existencia del idealismo liberal y del primer gran debate. El presente artículo busca contribuir a dichos esfuerzos críticos, añadiendo como variables a las mujeres internacionalistas y a algunos feminismos de la primera parte del siglo XX —particularmente relacionados con el socialismo y/o el pacifismo— para mostrar deficiencias importantes de la historia convencional. A través de un análisis textual de los escritos de diversas internacionalistas de principios del siglo XX, así como de su trabajo en la construcción de instituciones relacionadas con asuntos internacionales, el artículo expone cinco mitos disciplinarios de rrii. Se concluye que existe una multiplicidad de contribuciones de diversos feminismos y de las mujeres a la disciplina antes de 1980, pese a que continúan siendo oscurecidas por la historia ortodoxa. Esto tiene implicaciones importantes en nuestro entendimiento historiográfico de rrii, las raíces del feminismo internacionalista, y la posibilidad de rescatar nuevos enfoques teóricos.
Historic Breaks in Canadian Welfare as Expressions of Internal Crisis and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Efforts to Address Them
Authors: Santín Peña Oliver
Published: January 2025

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar la descomposición gradual que han venido sufriendo los tradicionales bastiones sociales canadienses a lo largo de décadas previas: educación, salud y vivienda, los cuales hicieron de Canadá una potencia moral internacional en el siglo xx y un paradigma de justicia social. Aquí se enfatizará que esta desarticulación de los pilares del Estado benefactor se ha dado bajo la administración de gobiernos conservadores y liberales sin distingo partidista, y en la actualidad, a partir de la pandemia del Covid-19, los efectos de dicha descomposición resultaron ineludibles para el gobierno federal del liberal Justin Trudeau, quien se vio obligado a enfrentar la crisis para buscar salidas emergentes. Sin embargo, la gravedad de la situación refuerza nuestra hipótesis de que esta crisis representa un quiebre histórico en Canadá, mismo que vino gestándose desde, al menos, mediados de los años ochenta, cuando el Estado decidió disminuir los recursos para redirigirlos a otras áreas productivas y así estimular la llegada de inversión privada en áreas sociales estratégicas. De esta manera, se expondrán algunos de los costos sociales derivados de estas decisiones.
Juan Rodríguez de Fonseca y la organización del primer viaje de asentamiento en tierras americanas
Authors: León Guerrero María Montserrat
Published: January 2025

La historia ha presentado a Cristóbal Colón como protagonista absoluto del descubrimiento de América para los europeos. Sin embargo, en los últimos años algunos historiadores se han encargado de demostrar que su primer viaje no habría sido posible sin Martín Alonso Pinzón. Uniéndonos a este intento de dar visibilidad a las personas que hicieron posible el desarrollo de esta política castellana de avance atlántico, en el presente artículo analizamos quién fue el responsable directo de la organización del segundo viaje de Colón a tierras americanas. Lo hacemos a través de una investigación basada en la consulta directa de fuentes documentales, especialmente de los archivos de Indias y Simancas, y el conocimiento de los escasos trabajos que hasta el momento se han centrado en el breve período de organización de esta expedición, de mayo a septiembre de 1493.
Con ello podemos comprobar cómo los monarcas deciden encargar a Juan Rodríguez de Fonseca la organización de esta relevante expedición en la que 1500 personas embarcaron en 17 naves. Fonseca fue el responsable de la obtención de fondos y bastimentos del viaje, pero también de conseguir los recursos necesarios para crear el que será el primer viaje de asentamiento organizado de europeos en tierras americanas. Los soberanos dejan además bajo su control la elección y registro de las personas que deben viajar en esta expedición en la que se traslada una pequeña representación de la sociedad castellana de la época, incluidos artesanos de todos los oficios y familias completas con mujeres y niños.

Published: January 2025

Antimicrobial resistance has caused major challenges in both bacterial and fungal infections. Therefore, the current study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity with different crude extracts of leaves and seeds of Citrus limon against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi (Cryptococcus neoformans and Candida albicans) obtained from different clinical settings. Filtrate extracts after maceration technique and the phytochemical substances detected in plants were flavonoid, saponin, alkaloid, glycoside, and resin under investigation. In vitro, a disc diffusion assay was applied to measure the inhibition zone of the plant effect in millimeters (mm). It was observed that Citrus limon activity showed the highest on ethanolic seed against Staphylococcus aureus and the lowest activity plant observed on methanolic leaf extract against Klebsiella oxytoca. The mean values of Citrus limon extract convinced there was no statistically significant correlation among extract solvents used in the study (ρ > 0.05). Oxacillin was used as the positive control and discs without antibiotic content as the negative control during testing. To conclude, ethanolic seed extract has shown the highest effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi from isolate. Indeed, plant extracts that showed potential effectiveness, such as (Citrus leaves and seeds) can be used as natural alternative preventive measures to control pathogenic bacterial diseases and prevent the rise of antibiotic resistance. Furthermore, studies to evaluate the in vivo potential in an animal model are recommended.

Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile (Zygophyllaceae) is a medicinal plant used in traditional medicine in Burkina Faso to treat helminthiasis. Using an ethnopharmacological approach, the "Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Santé (IRSS)" has developed a phytomedicine based on an almond extract from the fruit of this plant for the treatment of helminthiasis. This study aimed to assess the acute and subacute oral toxicity and in vivo mutagenicity of phytomedicine. The acute toxicity study was carried out following OECD guideline 423 by administering a single dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight (bw) of phytomedicine orally to female mice. For subacute toxicity, OECD guideline 407 was used. Four batches of 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were used, including a control batch and three treated batches receiving a daily oral administration of the phytomedicine at doses of 250, 500, or 1000 mg/kg bw for 28 days. The mutagenicity test was performed according to OECD guideline 474; five batches of 10 mice (5 males and 5 females) were given oral doses of 500, 1000 or 2000 mg/kg bw of phytomedicine, colchicine as a positive control at 5mg/kg bw and distilled water as a negative control. In the acute toxicity test, the LD50 was estimated at 5000 mg/kg bw. The subacute toxicity study showed no mortality or signs of toxicity in rats. Biochemical analysis revealed no significant differences between control rats and those treated with the phytomedicine for glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglycerides, AST, chlorine, calcium, and potassium. On the other hand, serum levels of ALT, total protein, PO43-, and Na+ were significantly reduced in some treated rats. The mutagenicity test showed no change in micronucleus frequency between treated and control mice. This study showed that phytomedicine based on an extract of B. aegyptiaca fines would present less danger to users.

Research on Changes in North Korean Oral Materials Collection Published Before and After 1960: Centered on the Writers' Union and the Academy of Sciences
Authors:   Soc Kor Oral Literature, Kim Kwang Sik
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes aspects of the North Korean Writer Union’s storybooks published before and after 1960, as well as the North Korean Academy of Sciences’ People’s Creations and North Korean Oral Materials Collection (1964). The Writers’ Union of North Korea published children’s literature after 1953, and then published collections of tales such as Tales of Our Country (1958). Works with inconsistent authors were not subject to ideological revision until 1960. However, in 1960, the Academy of Sciences published People’s Creation, which emphasized the socialist class and the social artistry of folk tales. In fact, the North Korean Writer Alliance’s collection Seven Lords (1963) was influenced by the People’s Creations and included several anti-feudal patriotic tales. While Tales of Our Country (1958) contained no patriotic tales and only 5 anti-feudal tales, Seven Lords (1963) contained 13 anti-feudal patriotic tales. On the other hand, Tales of Our Country published in 1965, reprinted 22 stories out of a total of 32, referring to Tales of Our Country (1958) of the same name. Unlike Seven Lords (1963), Tales of Our Country (1965), which had limited influence from the Academy of Sciences, was rewritten based on Tales of Our Country (1958). This study compares representative collections published by the Writers’ Union of North Korean and the Academy of Sciences. This reveals that the Writers’ Union of North Korea reinforced anti-feudal patriotic folktales by referring to collections of the Academy of Sciences. Beginning with the publication of People’s Creations (1960-1962), the Korean Writers’ Union, under the influence of the Academy of Sciences, strengthened socialist education and clarified the development pattern of rewriting folktales.
Rethinking National Narratives Through Genetic Ancestry Reveal Videos
Authors:   Soc Kor Oral Literature, Shure Charles La
Published: January 2025

Since the completion of the Human Genome Project at the beginning of the 21st century, interest in genetic testing has skyrocketed worldwide. In the past few years in particular, people have been fascinated by the possibility of tracing one’s ancestry or lineage. This paper continues the work started by Leah Lowthorp in her study of genetic ancestry performance among YouTubers in the United States by examining such performances among YouTubers in Korea. The paper begins by examining some of the problems with using genetic testing to trace ancestry, but as this study is primarily interested in beliefs regarding genetics, ethnicity, race, identity, and other issues, the focus is on the vernacular performances and narratives of the YouTubers rather than the veracity of the test results. After a brief introduction to the thirty videos examined in the study, the paper addresses five research questions. 1) What authority do YouTubers attribute to the results of their genetic ancestry tests? As was seen with YouTubers in the United States, YouTubers in Korea also perceived the genetic ancestry tests to be “objective” and “scientific.” 2) What role did the genetic tests results play in the (re)formation of identity? While YouTubers in Korea did recognize the authority of the tests, unlike YouTubers in the United States, they generally placed more importance on national and family narratives regarding ancestry and did not attempt to create new identities for themselves. This seems to be connected to 3) Is the theory of an ethnically homogeneous nation still valid in Korea? Since genetics revealed that there is no such thing as a “100% pure” Korean, people have tended to redefine this theory rather than discarding it completely. That is, someone with only East Asian DNA is now considered to be a member of the ethnically homogeneous nation. 4) Can racial or ethnic essentialism be found in the reactions to the genetic tests? Seeing that YouTubers did equate DNA to “blood” and link DNA to “ethnic characteristics,” it is clear that there is indeed essentialist thinking to be found. 5) What sort of influence do institutions have on these vernacular expressions? While it is true that the YouTubers exhibited essentialist thinking, institutional forces such as the genetic testing companies, the media, and the platform of YouTube itself played a role in encouraging such thinking. This does not necessarily mean that these vernacular expressions have been disempowered, merely that they must be recognized as existing in a hybrid relationship with the institutional.
The Grief Process of the Kkaturi in Jangkkijeon : Focusing on the “Dual Process Model”
Authors:   Soc Kor Oral Literature, Jeong Jin Ha , Oh Se Jeong
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the grief process of Kkaturi, who loses her husband in Jangkkijeon, using the “Dual Process Model,” to explore the significance of her grief. The Dual Process Model is a methodological framework that captures the complexity and dynamic changes within the mourner, seeing grief as a process of coping with various stresses arising from bereavement. This model addresses not only the stress caused by bereavement itself but also the difficulties encountered in the process of recovery and rebuilding one’s life after bereavement. The Dual Process Model does not view grief as a linear progression from bereavement to restoration or simply a return to reality, but as a dynamic process involving coping with stress related to both bereavement and restoration. This process manifests as an oscillation between the two dimensions, allowing for a deeper understanding of the mourner's complex internal psychological state. Jangkkijeon is a work centered on the bereavement of a spouse and Kkaturi begins her grief from the moment her mate, Jangkki is caught in a trap. Initially, she falls into grief and despair, responding to the bereavement with by focusing on the bereavement itself. However, as she shifts to a restoration-oriented approach, she gradually begins to concentrate more on her remaining life rather than on her husband's death. The resilience she gains through this grief process plays a crucial role in helping her overcome sorrow and restore her daily life. Resilience helps Kkaturi navigate the crises and adapt to change, allowing her to return to her routine life. While the household is disrupted by Jangkki’s death, Kkaturi acquires resilience through the grief process, enabling her to overcome grief. Additionally, presence of suitors reminds her that she still possesses productive abilities and sexual desires. Through her interactions with them, she begins to change her self-awareness. Her rejection of the suitors' proposals demonstrates the confidence she gains from resilience, showing that she can choose the life she desires. This highlights how resilience has become a force that allows her to take control of her life. By choosing to remarry a widowed Jangkki, Kkaturi embraces a new life and fully restores her daily life. From the perspective of the grief process, her decision to remarry can be seen as resulting from resilience, a choice that reflects the direction she wishes to take in her life.
Comparative Literary Exploration of Korean and South American Indigenous Oral Tales: Focusing on Cosmology
Authors:   Soc Kor Oral Literature, Choi Wonoh
Published: January 2025

This study compares and analyzes cosmological perspectives in the oral tales of Korean and South American indigenous people, focusing specifically on the Ayoreo. Cosmology, defined as the conceptualization of the universe from a human perspective, addresses fundamental questions about the universe and the methods of answering them. These questions and their narrative resolutions, often centered on primal elements, offer insights into broader understandings of the universe. The main elements of cosmology—heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars—are examined by categorizing the narratives into “thoughts about the heaven and earth” and “thoughts about the sun, moon, and stars.” While both Korean and Ayoreo traditions regard these elements as central to their cosmological views, notable differences emerge. In the case of the separation of heaven and earth, in Korean oral tales, divine beings frequently serve as the agents of cosmic formation. For instance, a god often facilitates the separation of heaven and earth. Conversely, Ayoreo narratives depict this separation as the personified sky moving from the earth to the “present-day sky.” In the case of the sun, moon, and stars, Korean oral tales describe their origins in divine acts, such as parts of a god’s body forming celestial objects or gods manipulating multiple suns and moons. These multiple suns and moons were discovered by gods, and stars were created with extra suns and moons. These celestial bodies are often portrayed as familial entities, such as couples, brothers, and sisters. In the oral tales of the Ayoreo, however, the sun, moon, and stars are described as originally living on earth in human form before ascending to the sky, where they became the celestial bodies we recognize today. While familial relationships are also present, Ayoreo tales emphasize more universal aspects. Overall, Korean oral tales tend to highlight divine involvement and a distinct separation of celestial and terrestrial realms. In contrast, Ayoreo narratives portray the sky, earth, sun, moon, and stars as originally humans who lived on the “land of today” before ascending to the “sky of today” and transforming, thereby fundamentally eliminating the intervention of divine beings. In addition, these tales reflect a worldview in which the sky and the world are perceived as separate yet essentially connected. Thus, the perception of sharing, to some extent, is deeply embedded in thenarrative traditions.
RELIGIOUS DYNAMICS IN THE G20 AND THE NATIONAL LANDSCAPE: UNVEILING THE INFLUENCE OF ‘ISLAM NUSANTARA’ ON GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT AND HUMANITARIAN INITIATIVES
Authors: Arsyad Rizal Efri , Zuhayda Arsyada Azma , Pratama Dito Alif
Published: January 2025

Global challenges are becoming increasingly difficult to address, largely due to competition between major world powers and conflicts rooted in identity. These dynamicspose significant risks to peace, security, and well-being both within countries and internationally. This study aims to assess the role of religion in contributing to the development and humanitarian efforts at global and national levels through a qualitative analysis, the study examines the G20 forum, which includes the world’s major economies, to explore how religious influences shape global policies and initiatives. The discussion highlights four key functions of religion: strengthening unity, promoting interfaith dialogue to counter the misuse of religion in politics, opposing wars while supporting victims of conflict, and encouraging ethical behavior to ensure lasting peace.On a national level, with a specific focus on Indonesia, religion has historically served to advance the concept of ‘maslahah’ (the public good) and now holds an increasingly vital role in shaping political systems. Because of upcoming humanitarian missions, this analysis emphasizes the need for spiritual values to be integrated into efforts to enhance global harmony. It also calls for reflection on how effectively these values are being put into practice to support peace and solidarity across nations.

Authors: Febriyanti Fitri
Published: January 2025

The Qur'an is translated and interpreted using Javanese to spread Islam in Java. A handwritten Javanese script called Serat Alpatékah is used. The Javanese language's structure and Islamic history have never been combined to analyze this manuscript. Descriptive-philological research is the methodology employed. This type of research combines descriptive and philological methods. Words, phrases, and sentences (part of grammatical structure) from Surah Al-Fatihah and Al-Baqarah in Serat Alpatékah manuscript were used as the research's primary sources of information. The study's findings indicate that 1) Rekso Pustoko Puro Mangkunegaran Office, Surakarta owns the Serat Alpatékah manuscript used for script teaching. The script's purported author is R.Ng. Ronggowarsito. Using conventional techniques, text from manuscripts made of Serat Alpatékah is transliterated. The form of the text critique apparatus in the text is adjusted according to the Javanese dictionary. Standard techniques for text editing in the manuscript Serat Alpatékah. Eugene A. Nida's translation theory is applied to ascertain the sentence structure found in Javanese, the target language; 2) The analysis phase explains the textual, contextual, and grammatical relationships. The Javanese sentence structure revealed in the Serat Alpatékah manuscript is related to the tafsiriyah translation process. The aim of translation is to convey the message from the source language to the target language. To achieve this goal, the Serat Alpatékah manuscript is never translated without grammatical analysis or text restructuring.
MODERASI BERAGAMA DAN TEOLOGI TOLERANSI
Authors: Muallifah Atika , Sutomo Imam
Published: January 2025

Every human being must always live with tolerance toward others, as we are a religious community living in Indonesia, a country with various ethnicities, nations, races, cultures, and religions. We must uphold the teachings of our respective beliefs without disturbing or damaging the beliefs of others. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach and field research in Jelok Village, Cepogo District, Boyolali Regency. Religious moderation can be concluded as practicing a religion in a balanced way. The principles of Islamic tolerance are, first, that Islamic tolerance is limited and focuses on social relationships; second, it involves allowing and creating a conducive environment for others to worship; and third, in practicing tolerance, the purity of faith and Sharia must be maintained. Jelok Village is able to maintain harmony despite having four different religions and one different belief system within the community.

Aim: The aim of this literature review was to determine if a consensus could be reached on whether amblyopia treatment causes distress to patients and/or their guardians, and if so, establish the impact of this reported psychological distress upon paediatric patients and/or their parents/guardians.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted of all publications written in English. Search terms included both MeSH terms and alternatives related to amblyopia and psychological distress. Evidence quality was assessed using an adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Score (NOS) and evaluation of the literature was used to form a narrative synthesis of the findings.
Results: Initial searches yielded 7,838 titles in total, with 25 peer reviewed papers published between 1999 and 2021 meeting the study inclusion criteria. Factors such as the presence of strabismus, moderate and severe amblyopic density, occlusive patch treatment and patching during school age increase the likelihood of experiencing distress as a result of amblyopia treatment.
Conclusions: Both parents/guardians and patients can experience psychological distress as a result of undertaking amblyopia treatment. School-aged children and those receiving occlusion therapy in the form of patching report higher distress than infants and young-children, and those receiving atropine occlusion therapy or refractive correction only. Further study measuring the physiological markers of distress such as Cortisol and BDNF, is recommended.
The death of the people
Authors: Anidjar Gil
Published: January 2025

Death, Derrida suggests in Politics of Friendship, is a question of numbers.
Yet, death is also always ?mine,? which is why Heidegger can say that ?the
dying of Others is not something which we experience in a genuine sense; at
most we are always just ?there alongside?.? Between my death and the death
of everyone, between the one and the infinitely many, I have found myself
wondering about a different measure, a more limited and distinct grammatical
- or arithmetic - register, in which is raised the question of our death.
The death, not of humanity, nor quite the death of all others, but the death
of the people, the death of we who count and count for and on each other (or
imagine we do). This is where Derrida?s calculability or incalculability of
death intervenes at its most opaque, it seems to me. Somewhere between the
one and the very many, the universal many of humanity, between what
Heidegger calls ?mineness? (which, when it comes to death, remains a
possibility) and the death of (all) others, there would be found the death
of we, the people.
On the economical politics of invention
Authors: De Michele
Published: January 2025

This article tackles the question of invention in Jacques Derrida?s thought
of deconstruction according to two perspectives. In the first part, draw?ing
on ?Psych?: Invention of the Other?, it examines its economic impli?cations;
in the second part, drawing on ?A World of Welcome? and on the confrontation
with Emmanuel Levinas, it examines its political im?plications. The problem
at stake in both perspectives is the role of an idiomatic schematics (a
sophistication of Kantianism, as Derida puts it) in fostering the potential
invention of a counterinstitution. In the second part, while interrogating
Derrida?s views on the possibility and means to deduce a politics from an
ethics, we will encounter the current geopo?litical scenario, and notably
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Foucault’s canvas: The singularities of the articulable and the visible
Authors: Marinkovic Dusan , Ristic Dusan
Published: January 2025

Looking back at Foucault?s analytical tool-box and its relevance today, we
take on the methodological dimensions and effects of archeology and
genealogy. We start from the assumption that archeology and genealogy are
two different but related analytical frameworks and registers of historical
time. Archeology is a register in which what is said at one time remains in
the modality of the archive. Genealogy is a register in which time emerges
on the surface of events, on one hand remaining in the time of origin, and
on the other branching out into the present day. In this paper, we argue
that such an analytical approach has two key dimensions that make Foucault?s
work distinctive and contemporary. Those dimensions are space and
transformation, and not discontinuity. For Foucault, space is subject to
historical transformation and allows time to become visible in the different
registers of archeology and genealogy. The search for transformations-when
it comes to archeology-led Foucault to analyze the depth of formation of the
regularities of the articulable, while in terms of genealogy, it led him to
the practices, power, and knowledge that become shaped on the surface of
visibility of our history of the present. We see the entirety of this set of
analytical procedures as Foucault?s painting, visual method, and that is why
we use the metaphor of a canvas. Foucault?s main analytical and
methodological contribution to the studies of philosophy, social sciences
and humanities, in this sense, can be represented by the metaphor of dust
compared to clouds-or rather, problematization and the analysis of
singularities, compared to the search for core principles, generalizations,
or transhistorical laws of society.

El desempleo para el Ecuador constituye un tema muy importante para el análisis de la economía nacional, por lo que este indicador macroeconómico se lo analiza tomando en cuenta las tasas de desempleo en las ciudades más importantes del país. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar una comparación de las tasas de desempleo por trimestre en los años 2021 y 2022 en las ciudades de Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca, Machala y Ambato mediante la aplicación de R Studio. La metodología se encuentra comprendida por la recopilación de Información estadística consultada en el Banco Central del Ecuador, para luego considerar las tasas trimestrales de desempleo en los años 2021 y 2022 de las ciudades antes mencionadas. Para finalmente realizar un análisis comparativo de dichas tasas a través de la metodología R Studio, donde se determinó los principales resultados en cuanto a las correlaciones de tasas de desempleo entre las ciudades más pobladas del Ecuador como son Guayaquil y Quito. Por lo que dichos resultados determinaron una correlación de 0,94 en el año 2022 y de -0,34 en el año 2021. Lo que significa una correlación fuerte en el primer año y una correlación moderada en el segundo año.

O tema da pesquisa é referente ao sistema construtivo da alvenaria estrutural em que a resistência à compressão é suportada pelos blocos estruturais de concreto ou cerâmica assentados nas paredes. O objetivo é detalhar esse método e referenciar o custo e sua produtividade através de uma análise orçamentária de um projeto residencial de 200 m² com 2 pavimentos. Para isso, foi utilizada de revisão bibliográfica como base de estudo evidenciando o sistema construtivo de alvenaria estrutural que utiliza dos blocos como elementos para vedação e estrutura simultaneamente, além disso, não se utiliza de formas de madeira como no método convencional, por ser um sistema considerado autoportante, possibilitando a construção vertical em menor tempo. Dessa forma, conclui-se que dada a racionalização adequada, a alvenaria estrutural pode ser lucrativa principalmente em obras com 2 ou mais pavimentos. Geralmente, em função do custo-benefício e da necessidade de padronização arquitetônica esse tipo de obra acontece para empreendimentos prediais.

Introduction. The scientific problem lies in ensuring earthquake resistance of the buildings by optimizing design solutions, selecting the computational models and developing a methodology, which takes into account the nonlinear behaviour of the load bearing structures under the action of design-earthquakes and reference-earthquakes. For adhering to regulatory requirements in calculation of earthquake resistance of the structures of life-saving buildings, the nonlinear calculations of structures’ behaviour under intense seismic actions were made.

Materials and Methods. The calculations were made by the analytical method and the finite element method using the “STARK ES” and “LIRA-SAPR” software.

Results. The comparative computation results of the estimated multi-storey building dynamic model subject to the horizontal progressive dynamic action with the use of eigenforms in a linear formulation have been obtained. In addition, the results of dynamic calculation under the main and special combination of loads and corresponding combination of internal forces performed for the estimated structures of a multi-storey building with seismic isolation constructed in Grozny have been presented.

Discussion and Conclusion. The criteria for selecting the significant and excluding the insignificant forms of natural oscillations when performing the earthquake resistance calculations of structures with certain nonlinearities have been determined. The calculation results have demonstrated achievement of the required bearing capacity of a multi-storey building in the given calculation conditions.
