DES ZONES ANTHROPIQUES AUX NIVEAUX ANTHROPIQUES
Authors: HÉBERT Louis
Published: November 2024

Nous présenterons d’abord notre interprétation de la théorie des zones anthropiques de François Rastier et discuterons de la manière de l’utiliser. Ensuite, prolongeant la théorie de François Rastier sur les trois niveaux de la pratique sociale – phénophysique, sémiotique et représentationnel –, nous intégrerons les zones anthropiques et les niveaux de la pratique sociale dans un ensemble plus large que nous appelons les « niveaux anthropiques », soit les niveaux ontologiques dans lesquels baigne et se meut l’humain. Les grands niveaux sont le transcendant et l’immanent. Les niveaux immanents sont : le physique, le biologique et le cognitif. Le cognitif se subdivise dans les catégories suivantes : le senti (les perceptions physiques), le ressenti (les affects), le sémiotique (signifiants et signifiés) et le représentationnel (les « images » mentales, etc.). Étendant la distinction de Rastier entre le phénophysique (le monde tel que nous le percevons) et, implicitement, le nouménophysique (le monde en soi tel qu’il est), nous appliquerons la distinction nouméno- et phéno- à l’ensemble des grands niveaux et niveaux anthropiques. On discutera évidemment à savoir si le nouméno existe. Différentes réductions (justifiées ou injustifiées) sont possibles entre grands niveaux ou entre niveaux. Par exemple, pour prendre le sémiotique : le sémiotique peut être réduit au physique (les signifiants seraient des stimuli physiques) et au représentationnel (les signifiés seraient des images mentales) ; le physique peut être réduit au sémiotique (par exemple, dans la sémiotique du monde naturel de Greimas) et le cognitif, au sémiotique (selon la sémiotique cognitive du Groupe µ). Pour donner un autre exemple, dans certaines théories (par exemple, le solipsisme de Berkeley et le courant cittamātra bouddhiste), le physique se réduit au cognitif : l’esprit crée à chaque instant ou a créé en définitive le monde, pensée solidifiée.

Cartografia do sensível
Authors: Moreira Patricia Veronica , Portela Jean Cristtus
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal compreender, em que medida, existe uma episteme de ordem sensível na semiótica, por meio da historiografia linguística, contextualizando seu surgimento e sua permanência nos estudos semióticos discursivos contemporâneos. Estabelecemos, portanto, uma cartografia do sensível, sendo este visto como hiperônimo do campo e os outros conceitos circunscritos nele, os seus domínios (a corporeidade, a passionalidade e a sensibilidade). Recuperamos a espessura teórica desses conceitos pelos princípios historiográficos de K. Koerner (1996), de P. Swiggers (2009) e de S. Auroux (2008). Definimos nas análises como o sensível aparece na retórica e na imanência das obras dos semioticistas Greimas, Fontanille, Landowski e Zilberberg. Após ter estabelecido os desdobramentos conceituais do sensível, finalmente, conseguimos definir o lugar histórico de uma semiótica, hoje, considerada do sensível, explicitando se o mesmo ocorre no nível epistemológico da disciplina.

O presente trabalho constitui uma análise temático-figurativo do romance moçambicano Ventos do Apocalipse, de Paulina Chiziane. Partimos da hipótese de que, no texto em voga, a narrativa contística funciona como inscrição da tradição oral moçambicana e, para tanto, a presença de figura e temas se instauram como fortes marcações textuais em narrativas desta natureza. É sabido, ainda, que tais característica inserem a obra Ventos do Apocalipse como liame genealógico transcultural com uma estética plural, cuja representação cultural a perfaz cosmopolita radicando, assim, a escrita de Paulina Chiziane. Dessemodo, este estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar os procedimentos discursivos de tematização e figurativização instaurados no compósito textual. Ancorados nos estudos da Semiótica das Culturas (considerando seus aspectos culturais, interculturais e transculturais), a presente proposta irá verificar as proximidades e distanciamentos culturais da figuras e dos temas, bem como seus modos de representação dentro da obra. A escolha da obra justifica-se, ainda, considerando toda a complexidade estrutural, bem como as relações polissistêmicas culturais na qual deflui a inscrição da narrativa literária enquanto popular.

Beyond the Laws: Analysing Police Intervention Strategies for Handling Domestic Violence in Ghana and Nigeria
Authors: Yalley Abena Asefuaba
Published: November 2024

Substantial research has demonstrated that the police are critical agents in dealing with the problem of DV and reducing its overall prevalence. The passage of the DV laws in Ghana and Nigeria made the police the primary agency to respond to DV: however, there is limited research on how police handle domestic violence in the two countries. This study, therefore, critically interrogated police intervention strategies in handling DV and their effectiveness in Ghana and Nigeria. In-depth interviews were conducted with 100 female victims of DV who have utilized police services and 30 police officers who handle DV cases. In addition, ethnographic observations were made in the police stations. The study found that arrest and detention, prosecution at the law court and the use of caution letters are the major conventional strategies used by the Ghana and Nigeria police to handle domestic violence. The two police institutions also adopted culturally sensitive approaches such as mediation, invitation letters and the use of minor punishment to deter offenders and potential offenders. There were a few variations in how the two police institutions handled domestic violence. The Ghana police utilized invisible arrest to preserve family relationships while the Nigeria police adopted naming and shaming of perpetrators to deter the public. The effectiveness of the interventions was mixed, depending on cultural acceptability, victims’ needs and impact on perpetrators. Police interventions emphasized punishments, and this often brought swift changes in offenders’ behavior but the changes were not sustainable.

CHILDFREE: RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE AS CULTURAL VALUES IN INDONESIA
Authors: Pertiwi Fathimah , Michael Sylvester Mitchel Vinco  , Dian Pertiwi Adharina
Published: November 2024

As a modern culture characterized by Western Culture, Childfree is a decision taken based on free agreement between husband and wife. However, there are still many who think that the Childfree decision is the result of problems experienced by the woman. This paper will discuss the phenomenon of childfree in Indonesia based on the views of Islam and Catholicism as the majority religions that influence the thoughts and perspectives of Indonesian society regarding childfree. This research method uses a literature study by using references from various open sources and scientific articles. Indonesia, which has an Eastern culture, generally rejects Childfree. A more collective Eastern view makes the relationship between husband, wife and child inseparable. Islam and Catholicism also reject Childfree. Islam, referring to the Qur'an, views that marriage is to continue good offspring so that one day they can become leaders of their group. Catholic Christianity based on the Holy Scriptures (Bible / Bible) states that the existence of children through intercourse is God's very good will as a form of love. In the official interpretation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the purpose of marriage is the welfare of husband and wife, the birth of children, and the education of children.
WOMAN AND CAREER: CASE STUDY OF “TOP” WOMAN LEADER
Authors: Nindhita Vidya
Published: November 2024

Discrimination is one of the issues that can never be separated from discussions about a woman's career in her work environment. Obtained from the Badan Pusat Statistik, the data shows that there is a decrease in the proportion of female workers in managerial positions, especially in DKI Jakarta Province. A total of 35.96% of the proportion of female workers in managerial positions was recorded in 2019, falling to 34.19% in 2020, and 33.15% in 2021. The formulation of the problem raised by the researcher is what obstacles and supporting factors exist in the career management of a female leader? How do women leaders manage their careers? The results prove that career management of a female leader experiences several obstacles in its achievement, stereotypes, distrust from colleagues, work-family conflict, lack of support, etc. In addition to these obstacles, women leaders have several supporting factors in managing their careers, support from spouses, involvement in decision making, mentoring from superiors/direct reports, organizational culture, etc. The management of career problems in women leaders can be overcome by having a career path based on performance, good team composition, family commitment, utilising emotional instability as a form of sensitivity, and focusing on work motivation.

Published: November 2024

Mental health is an important issue in adolescent development because during adolescence there is a more complex and dynamic transition. Conflict with peers and family is a source of interpersonal stress for adolescents. However, at the same time, family and peers can also be the main source of support as an effort to prevent stress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. To create mentally healthy teenagers, it is necessary to identify potential strategies, one of which is a virtual bootcamp program involving peers. The aim of this program is to promote mental health and improve peer-support capabilities for teenagers so that it is hoped that it can help create mentally healthy teenagers. The material provided is related to general issues regarding mental health; responses and actions related to adolescent mental health; self-healing; peer-support; and self-care. Participants consisted of 50 people with an age range of 15-27 years old, male and female. The effectiveness of implementing activities is known from the results of evaluating reactions and knowledge through pretests and posttests of training participants. The results of data analysis show that there is an increase in knowledge regarding peer-support and the skills possessed by adolescents to maximize their role as friends and promote mental health among their peers. It is hoped that this service article can provide information regarding the importance of adolescent mental health promotion programs, especially in overcoming the various pressures faced by adolescents.

An absolute Hegelianism for postmodern times: Hegel with Lacan after Bataille and Derrida
Authors: Nakhwa Rutwij
Published: November 2024

This paper examines the Hegelian dialectical procedure of determinate
negation in the Phenomenology of Spirit through the lens of ?failure? in
light of its critique by post-Hegelian thinkers, primarily Georges Bataille
and Jacques Derrida. Further, this paper shows how the notion of failure
remains important in the thinking of both Hegel and Bataille and discusses
the Hegelian ?labor of negative? as a Beckettian ?failing better? in its
resonance with Lacanian psychoanalytic praxis. In so doing, this paper
highlights how the post-Hegelian praxis of psychoanalysis and even the
?anti-Hegelian? thinking of Derrida and Bataille share certain conceptual
operations with Hegel?s philosophy. The paper goes on to trace the
limitations of Bataille?s and Derrida?s critiques of Hegel, especially
through Bataille?s notion of ?sovereignty? that he opposes to ?lordship,?
which he views as the central concept of Hegelianism. The paper argues that
most critics of Hegel (including Bataille and Derrida) misread his notion of
?absolute knowing? due to a misunderstanding of the radical difference
between the transitions within the Phenomenology and the culmination of this
series of transitions in absolute knowing. Through dispelling this
misunderstanding, the paper argues that absolute knowing remains a crucial
conceptual operator to cut through the impasses of postmodern thinking.
More or Less Ice? Shipping in the Russian Arctic and the Role of Climate Change
Authors: Moe Arild , Andreeva Serafima , Gunnarsson Björn
Published: November 2024

Melting sea ice has often been presented as a primary driver for development of Arctic shipping, but what role has it played for policies to develop the Northern Sea Route? It may look paradoxical that Russia has embarked on an ambitious icebreaker construction program, given climate change. In Russia, there have been contradictory assessments of further climate developments in the Arctic. Representatives of the nuclear icebreaker fleet have argued that a new cooling period will soon occur, whereas Russian climate science is dominated by unidirectional climate change. Nevertheless, there is agreement that more icebreakers are needed, since shipping activity is expected to increase, and an extended navigation season is an indisputable goal. Nuances in Russian climate science do not seem to play any role in policy planning for Arctic shipping. Shipping through the Arctic emits less greenhouse gases than navigation on conventional southerly routes, which may be used as an argument in favor of the Northern Sea Route. It is doubtful, though, that this will change priorities of international shipping companies, especially as long as international shipping is not subject to emissions standards. Many other considerations will have precedence. Obviously, Russia’s war in Ukraine and the ensuing international tension is affecting trade patterns and investments in the Russian Arctic. In this situation climate change plays less of a role in the development of shipping in the Russian Arctic. But even before the war climate change was less important than often assumed in the international literature.

The hospital-based retrospective descriptive study was done to determine the characteristic and associated factors of MASLD in 817 patients at Yangon Gastrointestinal and Liver Center, Myanmar from April 2017 to Jun 2022. Male and female patients were 427 [52.3%] and 390 [47.7%], respectively. Their steatosis grades were 39.3% in S0, 11.6% in S1, 16.4 in S2 and 32.7% in S3 groups. For fibrosis, F0F1 patients were 89.4%. Twenty-nine patients were F4 stage Cirrhosis. Their mean age at the time of diagnosis was 46.63 [SD ±11.583] years, between 16 to 77 years. Body Mass Index [p<0.001] and Fibroscan-CAP score [p=0.015] were different between sex. Hb A1C, lipid profile, ALT and AST were not statistically different between sex. Steatosis grading [S0, S1, S2 and S3] was associated with BMI [p<0.001] and HbA1C [p=0.003]. Positive correlations were found between Fibroscan-CAP score and age at the time of diagnosis, BMI and HbA1C [p<0.01]. Steatosis grading was associated with HbA1C [p=0.004] and BMI [p<0.001]. Fibrosis staging was associated with HbA1C [p<0.001] and BMI [p=0.007]. Older age patients were more likely to have higher BMI, HbA1C, steatosis grading and fibrosis staging. Overweight and elevated HbA1C patients tend to have higher steatosis grading and fibrosis staging.

REGISTRY OF TYPES, FACTORS, AND CONSEQUENCES OF MEDICAL ERRORS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF DIABETES MELLITUS TYPES
Authors: Gerush K. , Pashkovska N.
Published: November 2024

Aim. To identify and systematize the types, factors, and consequences of medical errors in diagnosing types of diabetes mellitus (DM) and to create a registry for them.Materials and Methods. A search, collection, evaluation, and synthesis of scientific data regarding the prevalence of diagnostic errors, their significance, types, causes (including general and diabetes-specific factors), and prevention methods were conducted using Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Medline, and Embase databases, as well as publications from open sources. The analysis included guidelines from leading medical societies and expert groups. Based on the systematization of literature data and the authors' clinical observations, a «Registry of Types, Factors, and Consequences of Medical Errors in the Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus Types» was created for the first time.Results. General factors contributing to errors in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) include limited access to quality healthcare, a shortage of specialists in diabetology, low levels of teamwork, lack of availability of diagnostic tests for determining DM types, ineffective communication, unsatisfactory care coordination, and follow-up, as well as cognitive biases. Diabetes-specific factors include the heterogeneity of DM, atypical disease progression, comorbidities, environmental factors, and technical errors in DM diagnosis. The most typical diagnostic discrepancies involve the misidentification of type 1, type 2, and other specific types of DM. Implementing the created «Registry of Types, Factors, and Consequences of Medical Errors in the Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus Types» in endocrinology departments has significantly reduced the number of diagnostic discrepancies for DM types. Additionally, incorporating this registry into the educational process at higher education institutions has improved the competence of students and medical professionals on this issue.Conclusions. The «Registry of Types, Factors, and Consequences of Medical Errors in the Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus Types», created based on a synthesis of literature data and the results of clinical observations, contributes to improving the quality and accuracy of diagnosis, enhances the professional level of healthcare workers, and reduces the number of incorrect diagnoses and treatment prescriptions.

In 2014, 33 (24.6%) out of 134 HIV-positive patients died, and in 2023, 3 (6.8%) out of 44 HIV-positive patients died. Central nervous system (CNS) lesions among the dead were noted in 68 (31.8%) patients. The study of medical records found that among those who died with CNS lesions, men prevailed - 55 (80.9%), women - 13 (19.1%), young patients - 53 (77.9%), and 15 (22.1%) patients over 45 years of age. In the structure of central nervous system lesions in patients with active tuberculosis, tuberculous meningoencephalitis prevails in fatal cases - 35 (51.5%), a significant share of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis - 18 (26.5%) and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy - 9 (13.2%). The main reason that leads to fatal consequences is the late diagnosis of HIV infection - in 26 (38.2%) the number of CD4<50 cl./μl, 36 (52.9%) patients did not receive antiretroviral therapy (ART), 18 (26 .5%) of patients had been taking ART for a year. Improvement of tuberculosis microbiological diagnosis due to the introduction of the Xpert MTB/RIF® (Ultra) test at all levels of the laboratory network, the introduction of a mandatory test for cryptococci, free CT, MRI examination for the diagnosis in HIV-infected patients, improvement of drug-resistant tuberculosis treatment regimens contributed to the reduction of mortality in case of HIV and tuberculosis combination, which was 24.6% in 2014, and 6.8% in 2023.Conclusions. Diagnosis and treatment of CNS diseases in patients with active tuberculosis against the background of HIV infection requires a comprehensive approach: early diagnosis of HIV infection, tuberculosis and lesions of the CNS, improvement of treatment.
HOW FRANKL’S MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING SHAPES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF LOGOTHERAPY
Authors: Botîlcă Cristina Mihaela
Published: November 2024

Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a major book in existential psychology, which offers a deep understanding of the human search for meaning during suffering. In this article, I will delve into how and where contemporary psychological practices are greatly impacted by Frankl's logotherapy. The paper commences with an analysis of Frankl’s life and his work within the historical context showing how the experiences he went through in Nazi concentration camps influenced his theoretical perceptions. Furthermore, it looks at some principles of logotherapy such as personal voids and desire for meaning in order to discuss their role in treating trauma and building up people’s resistance power. Lastly, it underscores logotherapy’s amalgamation with other therapeutic modalities, its influence on positive psychology as well as its wider applications within healthcare systems and schools among others. This paper provides a detailed examination of Frankl’s principles that remain very useful in promoting mental healthiness and self-improvement thus affirming how meaningfulness can be used to respond to human pain.

Be digital to be sustainable! The mediating role of sustainable supply chain practices in triggering the effects of digitalisation on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
Authors: Gariba Mohammed Ibrahim , Rehman Fazal Ur , Prokop Viktor , Giglio Carlo
Published: November 2024

Research background: European Union (EU) economies need to enhance sustainable supply chains (SSCs) through digitalisation to realise sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the impact of digitalisation on the SDGs is complex and multifaceted, and the role of SSCs in mediating this relationship is not fully understood. While extant research has delved into the influence of digitalisation on SSCs, predominantly within specific industries or geographic regions, a research gap persists concerning large-N samples and the generalisability of results.
Purpose of the article: This study evaluates the role of digitalisation in achieving SDGs along with the mediation of SSCs based on the resource-based view, the triple-bottom-line, and dynamic capabilities theories.
Methods: The study has extracted panel data from Eurostat from 2013 to 2022 and evaluated these data through partial least squares structural equation modelling to estimate the association among constructs. The sample covers the EU–27 countries and consists of 270 observations. Digitalisation is operationalised as the use of digital technologies to, for instance, innovate business models, provide new revenue streams and value-producing opportunities, and enhance, streamline, and make supply chain processes more efficient and environmentally sustainable. SSC practices encompass the design, planning, execution, and monitoring of supply chain activities to create value, optimise resources, and minimise environmental impact.
Findings & value-added: The findings indicate that digitalisation has a positive association with SDGs and SSC practices. The study also noted that SSC initiatives play a mediating role between digitalisation and SDGs among the EU economies. These interesting insights could direct policymakers to enforce the initiative of digitalisation in SSCs to boost SDGs in EU economies. Although the literature on digitalisation and SSCs has gained significant attention, this is the first study in these domains.

Introduction: Tooth loss is one of the essential factors of oral health status, which affects individual quality of life and social factors. It is also a common oral health problem in adults and elders. A prolonged period of tooth loss, followed by an immediate replacement with dentures, can cause changes in occlusion due to the teeth' unsustainability; tooth position shift followed by extrusion leads to occlusion pattern disruption, resulting in gingival movement difficulties. This research analyses the correlation between posterior tooth loss and temporomandibular joint disorders in elders. Methods: Analytic observational with cross-sectional study. The sampling technique was simple random sampling, identifying a population of 39 people aged 60 to 75, consisting of 12 males and 27 females. The sample size was determined by the overall population size, calculated through the minimum single sample size formula incorporating the correlation coefficient (r). The primary data was obtained by completing the questionnaires and the respondents' clinical examination with the Helkimo index. Results: The findings showed that most respondents were female, 27 compared to 12. In terms of dysfunctional index data for tooth loss, the "Mild symptoms" were found to be predominant over "No symptoms", with the (HG) ≤ 4; while the (HG) ≥ 4, showed that the "No symptoms" were less common. Similarly, in the anamnesis index data, the "Mild symptoms" were the most common, with the (HG) ≤ 4; while the (HG) ≥ 4 showed that the "No symptoms" was predominated, with fewer cases of the "Mild symptoms" and the "Severe symptoms". The Spearman Correlation Rank test analysis showed that the r (coefficient of correlation) = 0,944, with p = 0.000. Conclusion: There is a relationship between posterior tooth loss and temporomandibular joint disorders in elders.
Robustness of score-driven location and scale models to extreme observations: An application to the Chinese stock market
Authors: Blazsek Szabolcs , Licht Adrian
Published: November 2024

Recently, the use of dynamic conditional score (DCS) time series models are suggested in the body of literature on time series econometrics. DCS models are robust to extreme observations because those observations are discounted by the score function that updates each dynamic equation. Examples of the DCS models are the quasi-autoregressive (QAR) model and the Beta-t-EGARCH (exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity) model, which measure the dynamics of location and scale, respectively, of the dependent variable. Both QAR and Beta-t-EGARCH discount extreme observations according to a smooth form of trimming. Classical dynamic location and scale models (for example, the AR and the GARCH models) are sensitive to extreme observations. Thus, the AR and the GARCH modelsmay provide imprecise estimates of location and scale dynamics. In the application presented in this paper, we use data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange A-Share Index and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange A-Share Index for the period of 5th January 1998 to 29th December 2017. For the corresponding stock index return time series, a relatively high number of extreme values are observed during the sample period. We find that the statistical performance of QAR plus Beta-t-EGARCH is superior to that of AR plus t-GARCH, due to the robustness of QAR plus Beta-t-EGARCH to extreme unexpected returns.

STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) education has recently been encouraged and attracted much national attention. This qualitative study aimed to conduct a thematic analysis of college student STEAM open responses to provide an examination of college students’ perceptions of their STEAM experiences into the STEAM field. Based on transformative learning theory, a thematic analysis of 756 written responses to seven prompts by 108 college student participants revealed three primary themes: (1) exciting and challenging difficulties, and transdisciplinary learning in STEAM; (2) STEAM learning of gradual process, problem-oriented instruction, and creative problem solving; and (3) metacognition development in STEAM. The findings revealed that undergraduates’ STEAM perceptions provide strong support for STEAM implementation to enhance teaching effectiveness in higher education.
