The Existence of Taman Siswa Amidst the Domination of Colonial Education in the Dutch East Indies
Authors: Iswahyudi Iswahyudi
Published: October 2023

Taman Siswa, which was founded in 1922, aims to achieve a nation state that must and can be achieved through education. It also regenerates the native population so that it can throw off its colonial constraints and control its own political, social and economic development. In the first years of its existence, this organization was relatively unnoticed by the nationalist movement or by the colonial government. Taman Siswa's role in the constellation of the colonial state was to advance education for the native population because this institution functioned as a rival institution to the colonial government by rejecting the education system run by the colonial government and continuously trying to define Indonesia and the type of national education system that it was. ideal. The concept of Taman Siswa education was actually to adapt teaching to local values and customs, and at that time it prioritized Javanism rather than Indonesian nationalism itself. This is in accordance with one of the principles of Taman Siswa education, namely cultural nationalism. Ki Hajar Dewantara's educational ideas were largely influenced by many current discussions regarding education in the Netherlands itself as part of a wider global discourse.

When Stories Travel: A Review of Transcultural Film Adaptation
Authors: Wang Tian , Suboh Rosdeen Bin , Alizadeh Farideh
Published: October 2023

Transcultural film adaptation has long been an obscure branch of adaptation studies, yet its history is equivalent to the film adaptation, and almost as long as cinema. Since its ongoing and growing adaptation activities are inconsistent with insufficient and limited theoretical research, this study reviews transcultural film adaptation research to bring fresh insights into the adaptation area. Based on adaptation research results, it alludes to related studies, such as cross-cultural communication and international communication, and defines transcultural film adaptation-related terms. It then reviews comparative case study method and fidelity studies to, on the one hand, summarize the research methodology and adaptation strategies and, on the other hand, respond to the two foundational questions surrounding adaptation raised by Leitch: the value of case study and the notion of fidelity. Instead of attacking fidelity or exaggerating the value of creativity, this paper contends that a reconciling relationship exists between fidelity and creativity in transcultural film adaptation, i.e. the creative transformation of culture.

Saúde mental e relações de camaradagem nos partidos políticos da esquerda radical
Authors: Barbosa Clara
Published: October 2023

Trata-se das considerações de uma pesquisa, feita com militantes de Minas Gerais de três partidos políticos da Esquerda Radical Brasileira (Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB), Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) e Partido Socialista dos Trabalhadores Unificado (PSTU)), sobre como essas organizações têm elaborado análises e ações políticas relativas à saúde mental, intra e extrapartidariamente. Junto a isso, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica de produções de acepção marxista acerca da saúde mental e militância. Como resultado, ressalta-se que a coletivização das expressões de sofrimento e o fortalecimento de vínculos políticos humanizadores e emancipatórios (as relações de camaradagem) nesses espaços auxiliam a minorar o sofrimento dos sujeitos, compreendendo que a problemática possui raiz social.

Authors: Prudencio Juliana Desiderio Lobo , Theodoro Laís Santos , Baqueiro Victoria Lavignia de Oliveira
Published: October 2023

O artigo objetiva apresentar um estudo sobre a Política Nacional de Saúde Mental, Álcool e Outras Drogas, mostrando como as Comunidades Terapêuticas (CTs) brasileiras ocupam parte da atenção aos usuários de drogas no Brasil. Trata-se de uma análise documental de normativas, com base em revisão bibliográfica sobre a temática. Observou-se que as CTs ganharam força em cenários políticos, sociais e econômicos distintos, em especial após o ano de 2015, e se tornaram principais instituições para a atenção aos usuários de drogas, além de serem financiadas pelo fundo público. Ainda, nota-se que as CTs representam uma convocação à lógica manicomial, proibicionista e encarceradora de usuários de drogas, em maioria homens, negros e pobres, sob a lógica da abstinência, do trabalho forçado, da religiosidade e da disciplina.

Por meio de uma reflexão teórica, com o uso de dados secundários, o estudo vislumbra o cenário de necropolítica potencializado cotidianamente na arena da saúde mental e seus rebatimentos na sociedade, frente ao capitalismo em sua face mais voraz.
“N/A: NÃO SE APLICA”: Políticas Penais e Custódia Psiquiátrica Feminina na Bahia
Authors: Costa Jessica Hind Ribeiro , Martins Helena Loureiro
Published: October 2023

Este estudo objetivou compreender que definição de saúde se aplica aos tratamentos nos Hospitais de Custódia e Tratamento Psiquiátrico (HCTP), segundo dados do Plano Estadual De Atenção às Mulheres Privadas De Liberdade e Egressas do Sistema Prisional da Bahia (2018). Para tanto, utilizou-se de pesquisa qualitativa, estudo de caso com procedimento de revisão de literatura e revisão normativa. Como resultado, tem-se uma definição de saúde adstrita ao enfrentamento de enfermidades, conforme o biologicismo do final do século XIX e começo do século XX. Deste entendimento, decorre a desconsideração de dimensões do estado de integridade biopsicossocial da mulher. Considerando o HCTP e os presídios femininos como equivalentes enquanto instituições totais, conclui-se que as pacientes psiquiátricas possuem menos direitos sociais previstos na Constituição Federal do que aquelas que cumprem pena.

Published: October 2023

O artigo discorre criticamente sobre o avanço do conservadorismo na atualidade no âmbito das ações das políticas de saúde mental e de drogas no país, processo que tem contribuído para uma reatualização do proibicionismo, particularmente no governo Bolsonaro. Da ditadura civil-militar à recente gestão de extrema direita, as legislações e normativas sobre drogas avançam e se fortalecem em termos de punição, controle e criminalização dos considerados indesejáveis. Mesmo assim, são forjadas lutas e resistências no âmbito da proteção e do cuidado nas temáticas de drogas e de saúde mental, como aponta a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental presente no texto com base numa análise histórico-crítica. O horizonte sinaliza inúmeros desafios, assim como possibilidades para a efetivação dos direitos sociais e humanos para pessoas com relações com as chamadas drogas.

Authors: Hoffmann Edla , Pereira Freitas Lyzete Bruna
Published: October 2023

Este artigo objetiva analisar o recrudescimento do ajuste fiscal permanente em tempos de ultraneoliberalismo na política de saúde mental e sua funcionalidade no retorno das práticas manicomiais de mercantilização da vida. Recorre-se à pesquisa e à análise documental para a compreensão do orçamento público destinado à política de saúde, enfatizando a saúde mental por meio da utilização de dados secundários em sítios e documentos institucionais do governo federal. Os resultados evidenciam a potencialização das contradições do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS), que se intensificam com as políticas de austeridade fiscal e gastos públicos aquém das necessidades dos(as) usuários(as) em detrimento do capital. Seus efeitos são nefastos diante da pandemia e dos retrocessos no âmbito da atenção psicossocial, apontando para um retorno expressivo da (re)manicomialização com ênfase nas Comunidades Terapêuticas.

To assess the frequency of iliotibial band tightness and its relation with anterior knee pain in health-care workers

Methodology: It was a cross-sectional research conducted from September 2021 to February 2022. Sample size of the study was 210. Study settings included the government and private hospitals of Faisalabad. In order to recruit healthcare providers, a convenient sampling technique was utilized. Inclusion criteria of the study were both male and female healthcare workers of age between 21 to 45 years working from at least 2 years. Ober's test was used to determine the tightness of the IT band. The anterior knee pain was evaluated by numeric pain rating scale (NPRS).  Data was analyzed and interpreted by SPSS version 25. Data was presented in forms of tables and charts.

Findings: Out of 210 subjects, 64.76% were men and 35.23% were women. Iliotibial tightness was found to be present in 110(52.38%). On NPRS, 100(47.61%) participants reported mild to moderate pain and 30(14.28%) reported severe to worst pain in the anterior knee. Chi-square tests shows a statistical significant association (p<0.05) between iliotibial band and anterior knee pain.

Recommendations: In conclusion, iliotibial tightness was found to be present in 52.38% of the health workers. Results of the study showed that anterior knee pain occurs in iliotibial band tightness. This study, grounded in biomechanical and anatomical theories, demonstrated a significant association between iliotibial band tightness and anterior knee pain. Healthcare workers should focus on proper body biomechanics and incorporate regular muscle stretching in their routine to prevent the muscle tightness and associated problems.

YAKUT BÖLGESİNDE RUS ORTODOKS KİLİSESİ İDARİ YAPILANMASI
Authors: Kılıçaslan Yusuf
Published: October 2023

Yakut Bölgesinde Rus Ortodoks Kilisesi’nin kuruluşunu ve merkezileşme sürecini dönemsel olarak açıklamak Saha Türkleri üzerinde yürütülen misyonerlik faaliyetlerinin daha anlaşılabilir hale gelmesi için oldukça önem arz etmektedir. Çalışma genelden özele doğru planlanmış ve Rus Ortodoks Kilisesi hakkında genel bilgi veren kaynaklardan ve Yakut Bölgesi’nde Ortodoks Hıristiyanlığın tarihini inceleyen eserlerden kronolojik olarak faydalanılmıştır. Bu babda Rus Ortodoks Kilisesinin geçirmiş olduğu reformlara kısaca değinilmiş, piskoposluk, blagoçiniye ve prihod sistemi ele alınmış, bu kurumların Yakut Bölgesi’nde tezahürü ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Yakut Bölgesi 1620’den itibaren Rusların güdümüne girmiş, 1638’den itibaren dini ve idari yapı eş zamanlı olarak bölgede kurulmaya başlamıştır. Yakut Bölgesi’nde ilk kilise Petr Beketov tarafından 1632’de inşa edilen Lena Kalesi içerisine bina edilmiştir. Zamanla Rus Kozak müfrezelerinin inşa ettiği kalelerin içerisine bina edilen kiliseler sayesinde kilise ve şapel ağı ortaya çıkmıştır. Kiliseler arasında merkezi bir birlikteliğin ortaya çıkması ise uzunca bir süreç sonunda gerçekleşmiştir. Bunun en önemli nedeniyse bölgenin Moskova’dan coğrafi uzaklığı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu yüzden Rus Ortodoks Kilise yapılanması bölgede kademeli olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yakut ruhani idaresi sırasıyla Sibirya Metropolitliği, Tobolsk, İrkutsk, Kamçatka piskoposluklarına bağlı blagoçiniye olarak faaliyetini sürdürmüş ve son olarak bağımsız Yakut Piskoposluğunun kurulmasıyla bölge giderek Uzak Doğu Sibirya’nın hem dini hem de idari merkezi haline dönüşmüştür. I. Petro’nun Patrikliği lağvedip, Kutsal Sinod’u kurmasıyla birlikte bölgede yer alan Ortodoks dini kurumları da kabuk değiştirmiştir. Patrikliğin yerini Kutsal Sinod, metropolitliklerin yerini de piskoposluklar almıştır. Piskoposluklar kendi içerisinde blagoçiniye, ondalık gibi alt birimlere ayrılmış ve geniş coğrafyalarda vekil papazlık statüsü hayata geçirilmiştir. Sibirya’da ilk vekil papazlık İrkutsk piskoposluğu olmuş, Yakut Bölgesi, Kamçatka piskoposluğunun vekil papazlığı statüsüne 1858’de yükseltilmiştir. Yakut’un vekil papazlık statüsüne yükseltilmesi Aziz Venyaminov tarafından tasarlanmıştır. Statü değişikliği Yakut’un kilise ağını güçlendirmek ve yeterli donanıma sahip din adamlarını buraya çekmeye yetmiştir. Yaklaşık olarak 12 yıl vekil papazlık olarak faaliyetini sürdüren Yakut Ortodoks Kilisesi 1870’te bağımsız bir piskoposluk olarak bölgenin en önemli dini merkezi olmuştur. Yakut’un piskoposluk statüsüne yükseltilmesi bölgenin idari anlamda yeniden şekillenmesine sebebiyet vermiş, blagoçiniye ve desyatinler ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca bölge cemaat yapısı (prihod) yeniden düzenlenmiş ve Sahaların kayıtlı olduğu prihoddan başka cemaate geçişi yasaklanmıştır.

This study describes student interest in the agricultural content pathways established by the National Council for Agricultural Education. Differences exist between male and female students concerning curriculum choices in agriculture, food, and natural resources. Male students were most interested in food products and processing systems, while females averaged the highest interest in animal systems. Females were significantly more interested in animal systems. Males were more interested in power, structural, and technical systems, biotechnology, food products and processing, and agribusiness systems. When considering the students’ race and ethnic background, Native Americans or Alaska Natives reported the most interest in animal systems. Asian students reported the highest interest in natural resource systems. African American students averaged the highest interest in power, structural and technical systems. White Non-Hispanic students reported the highest interest in animal systems. White Hispanic students reported the highest average interest in natural resources. White Non-Hispanic students were significantly more interested in agribusiness systems, animal systems, food products, and processing systems than were African American students. Native American or Alaskan Native students were significantly more interested in animal systems than African American students. This study concluded that male and female students value agricultural curriculum content differently and that the differences were significant in most agricultural content pathways. Students of different races and ethnic backgrounds value agricultural content pathways differently, but most of these differences were insignificant.

While the choice to move to a new school is personal, many play a role in justifying that choice for the mobile teacher. These justifiers—or influencers—make up the socializing network for teachers (in this case, SBAE teachers) in new settings. Our study outlined how mobile SBAE teachers rationalize the choice to change schools and validate career moves. We used a positioning theory approach to discourse to give migrators (teachers who change schools) and influencers a voice. Positioning theory allowed us to situate migrators as they reflected on their choice to change school districts, and influencers as they recounted their interactions with new-to-district SBAE teachers. The purpose of our study was to identify the positionality of migrating SBAE teachers in their school-based context. We did this by examining positionalities of SBAE teachers and influencers in their interactions. Four themes described how SBAE migrators identified their positionality: This is Where I’m Meant to Be, Additional Duties as Assigned, I’m the Real Deal, and Everyone is Special. Four themes further described how SBAE influencers identified their positionality: We’re All Doing the Best We Can, You Gotta Want It, Double Standards, and All or Nothing. We found SBAE teachers aligned with their positioning in the Agricultural Education literature and found additional implications for mobile teachers. The teachers in this study also navigated the expectations set by their predecessor and voiced by their community. Our recommendations focus on SBAE teachers and their job search, workload, responsible autonomy, and replaceability, and influencers’ interactions to support these endeavors.
A national study assessing the influence of perceived challenges faced by school-based agricultural education teachers on their ability to do their job

Attrition is a documented cause for ongoing SBAE teacher shortages and is often linked with the number of challenges faced by teachers and their ability to overcome them. Teacher experiences with challenges and barriers has the potential to impact occupational self-efficacy, or their perceived ability to do their job. Lower occupational self-efficacy has been tied to higher levels of attrition. The purpose of this study was to assess how challenges faced by SBAE teachers across the United States influence their perceived ability to do their job. A descriptive national survey was employed to accomplish the purpose of this study. Challenges most negatively impacting SBAE teachers’ perceived ability to do their job included miscellaneous activities beyond teaching, FFA, and SAE as well as personal activities outside of school. We also found female SBAE teachers perceived challenges to more negatively influence their ability to do their job than their male colleagues. Recommendations for practice included providing additional training in managing miscellaneous activities in SBAE programs and determining root causes of SBAE teacher challenges so they may be eliminated when possible. Further research should be conducted in developing a SBAE teacher occupational self-efficacy instrument and in finding ways to remedy the differences in perceived influence of challenges faced by male and female SBAE teachers on their ability to do their job.
