Authors: Fraser Trisnasari , Davidson Jane W. , Crooke Alexander Hew Dale
Published: July 2023

This contribution details methodological adaptations of face-to-face ethnographic and participatory research approaches for the digital realm and examines emergent ethical concerns. It developed while a research team in Melbourne considered the implications of COVID-19 lockdown for their research on social connection through intercultural music engagement. Pursuing the proliferation of online music activity aimed at maintaining social bonds during the physical distancing of the first months of the pandemic, the team turned to digital platforms as the field of research. Projects included observation of audience engagement with YouTube music broadcasts during COVID-19 lockdown and a participatory action research project exploring asynchronous multitracking performance. The pandemic underlined the world’s increasing interconnectedness, where social ties can span the local to the global. Through an appraisal of the research and consideration of existing discourse about online research approaches and decolonizing methodology, the article also examines the implications of global interconnectedness for interdisciplinary inquiry and the study of different cultural identities and their music and dance practice.

Published: July 2023

Migration is a known phenomenon defined as the partitioning of certain chemical compounds from plastic food packaging into food and has been intensely investigated in recent years. Due to outstanding chemical and physical properties plastics are used in many fields. Polypropylene and polyethylene are extensively used polymers because of their chemical resistance, high tensile strength and low density. To improve the properties of the plastics, additives such as plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants, lubricants, pigments and others are required to be added. However, they can migrate from the plastics into the food and contaminate it during production or storage. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate commercial polypropylene and polyethylene packages to determine what most often used additives and degradation products of the food packages can migrate to food. After the initial identification of plastics by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, the determination of cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury was carried out by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. To evaluate possible volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds thermal desorption gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used. The results revealing the presence of different potential organic compounds and metals emitted during the degradation process of different types of food contact materials are discussed.

Biopolitique de la Naissance : generatio et lex nova chez Maître Eckhart
Authors: Desjardins Pierre-Luc
Published: July 2023

Le présent article se donne pour fin d’étudier le sens que revêt, chez Maître Eckhart de Hochheim (1260-1328), l’emploi du couple formé par les notions de pouvoir « politique » et de pouvoir « despotique ». Plus précisément, il y est question de replacer cet usage dans le contexte de la conception eckhartienne de la nature et d’y trouver un dédoublement de la notion de sujétion. De fait, pouvoir politique et pouvoir despotique se présentent comme deux manières, pour un agent, d’interagir avec le principe passif qui se soumet naturellement à lui — le pouvoir despotique demeurant extérieur à ce qu’il gouverne, là où le pouvoir politique oeuvre au sein même de ce qu’il gouverne pour se l’assimiler. Une telle contextualisation de la conceptualité « politique » eckhartienne doit faire ressortir la manière dont elle s’inscrit dans une conception plus globale des rapports entre Dieu et la création, entre l’agent suprême et l’être imparfait qui lui est soumis.
Le Discours sur la théologie naturelle des Chinois et la controverse Leibniz/Descartes sur la substance
Authors: Qian Jin
Published: July 2023

Dans son Discours sur la théologie naturelle des Chinois, Leibniz produit une interprétation du premier principe de la philosophie chinoise. Le présent article s’interroge sur les conditions de cette interprétation en la comparant avec la controverse entre Leibniz et Descartes par rapport à la conception de la substance. Il sera montré que, bien que Leibniz utilise un « principe herméneutique » dans son interprétation de la philosophie chinoise, ce principe n’est pas suffisant mais repose sur des conditions plus fondamentales. La comparaison avec la controverse Leibniz-Descartes sur la substance permet d’identifier deux conditions majeures de l’application de ce principe herméneutique, à savoir la théorie dynamique de la substance et la conception de la théologie naturelle comme fondement de la physique, deux points sur lesquels divergent Leibniz et Descartes.
Online Therapeutic Portals for Sharing Health Research: Comparative Guidance amid Regulatory Uncertainty
Authors: Lang Michael , Zawati Ma’n H.
Published: July 2023

Online resources offer a uniquely efficient way of sharing health research with scientists and the public. Using web portals to make results and study information available to diverse audiences could work to accelerate research translation and empower patients to play a more active role in their care. But using online tools to broadly share health information raises several challenging ethical and regulatory questions. Issues such as equity, privacy, and patient empowerment may create challenges for regulators, portal developers, as well as researchers. It is additionally unclear whether web portals designed to facilitate access to research results and general health information will be regulated as medical devices under emerging regimes that control software with medical purposes. This paper aims to comparatively address whether online therapeutic portals for sharing health research are likely to be regulated in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. We find that though these jurisdictions have each taken recent steps to regulate software as medical devices, the applicable regimes will generally not capture online portals for sharing health research. Though online portals for sharing health research are probably unregulated in many (if not most) jurisdictions, agencies have nevertheless signalled their concerns regarding several important ethical considerations (such as equity, transparency, and safety), to which portal developers and researchers should be attentive and respond. We describe here one set of issues highlighted by regulators – that is, efficiency, equity, transparency, confidentiality, communication, empowerment, training, and safety & efficacy – and consider how to best guide the design of online portals in a context of regulatory uncertainty.
La collégialité dans la mise en place d’une sédation profonde et continue dans un centre de cancérologie en France
Authors: Couderc Bettina , Faya Robles Alfonsina , Caunes-Hilary Nathalie , Galiby Laurie , Rial Sebbag Emmanuelle
Published: July 2023

Une procédure collégiale désigne le fait de recueillir, avant de prendre une décision médicale délicate, l’avis de l’ensemble de l’équipe de soins responsable du patient, incluant le personnel infirmier et aide-soignant, entre autres. La loi Claeys-Leonetti relative à la fin de vie (2016) l’inscrit dans le droit français comme étant obligatoire lors de la mise en place d’une sédation profonde et continue maintenue jusqu’au décès (SPCMD). L’objectif de l’étude est de faire un état des lieux de la connaissance de cet aspect de loi par le personnel soignant d’un institut de cancérologie et d’identifier comment la collégialité se met en place pour une décision de SPCMD selon les services. Nous avons proposé un questionnaire en ligne et anonyme à l’ensemble des acteurs du soin (connaissance de la loi Claeys-Leonetti) puis nous avons rencontré les soignants des différents services en groupes de discussion (cadres, personnel infirmier et aides-soignants) ou en entretiens individuels (médecins). Les résultats montrent que la loi est mieux connue, toutes professions confondues, des jeunes soignants (moins de 5 ans d’expérience) et surtout mieux revendiquée par les infirmières et aides-soignantes que par les médecins. Nous rapportons la diversité de la mise en oeuvre de la collégialité pour une décision de sédation, en termes de formalisation, de standardisation et d’inter professionnalisation. Nous concluons que la mise en place de la collégialité de façon anticipée pour une décision élargit les modes de communication pluri/inter professionnelle et permet d’apaiser la souffrance des patients, des médecins et des soignants.
Démasquer le paternalisme latent en santé : apports du philosophe Ruwen Ogien
Authors: Filleul Arthur , Drolet Marie-Josée , Hudon Anne
Published: July 2023

Le but de notre article est d’identifier ce qui, dans la pensée du philosophe libertaire et égalitaire Ruwen Ogien, permet de démasquer et de réinterroger le paternalisme latent qui perdure encore dans les pratiques des professionnels de la santé. Car bien que les avancées récentes des modèles de soins laissent plus de place à la voix des personnes accompagnées ainsi qu’à leur libre autodétermination, celles-ci n’ont pas mis fin au paternalisme en santé. Nous présentons ici les différents points clés de l’argumentaire d’Ogien visant à critiquer le paternalisme en santé, pour prendre conscience du paternalisme latent et constater que de celui-ci découle des injustices épistémiques et sociales qu’il importe de renverser.
Chronique du cinéma 2 : De son vivant – apprivoiser le mourir

Published: July 2023

Apprivoiser et penser le mourir par le biais du cinéma, c’est peut-être une des possibilités offertes par ce long métrage d’Emmanuelle Bercot mettant en vedette Benoît Magimel et Catherine Deneuve. Le film De son vivant aborde de manière frontale la question de la fatalité, au travers du récit de vie, et de mort, d’un jeune quadragénaire atteint d’une maladie dont le sombre pronostic ne fait aucun doute. Nous y suivons Benjamin, dans la dernière année de sa vie, alors que ce dernier affronte, l’inéluctable de sa finitude annoncée dans ce délai posé clairement : de six mois à un an. Se faisant, il se trouve plongé, ainsi que ses proches, de manière radicale, au coeur de ses questions existentielles, placé devant une série de choix qui se posent à lui, malgré – ou grâce à – la réalité de sa mort. Les nombreux enjeux éthiques rencontrés tout au long de son parcours sont exposés pour toutes les personnes impliquées : soignants, patient et proches.
Medicine and the Humanities
Authors: Gordon Michael
Published: July 2023

In the earliest writing of stories, physicians and illnesses often played an important role. Some of the renowned scholars in the Jewish tradition, like Moses Maimonides was a philosopher, a prolific writer, and a physician. A few of the world-famous authors include: François Rabelais (1483-1553), Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930), Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) and the contemporary Abraham Verghese (1955-), to name just a few. The connection between medicine and the humanities appears to have diminished in some domains due partially to the focus on the scientific advances in medicine and the diminished focus on the humanities, especially in higher education. This I suggest, is a problem for medicine.

Officers's Virtues in Russian Fiction of the Second half go the XVΙΙΙ century (Part II)
Authors: Naumov Petr Yur'evich
Published: July 2023

Military people have long occupied a very special honorable and responsible place in society. To form a system of values of future officers is becoming an urgent task of professional military education. The article examines the domestic literary sources, which accumulate and present the psychological features of the merits of the officer in Russian fiction. The object of the work is the images of officers in the XVΙΙΙ century Russian literature, which are the artistic precursors of images of military intellectuals in Russian literature of the XΙX century. The subject of the article ‒ psychological features of the designated artistic images of a military mens. The main methodological approaches were systemic, cultural-historical and literary psychologism. Theoretical, general logical and empirical methods are used as methods. It is noted that the psychological representation of the features inherent in the military intelligentsia in the literature is carried out in several basic forms: 1) a direct representation of characters "from the inside", that is, through artistic cognition of the inner world of the actors, expressed through internal speech, images of memory and imagination); 2) an indirect form, i.e. psychological analysis "from the outside", expressed in the psychological interpretation by the writer of expressive features of speech, speech behavior, mimic and others means of external manifestation of the psyche); 3) in a summative-denoting form ‒ with the help of naming, extremely brief designation of those processes that take place in the inner world. The main scientific results of the article include the identification of psychological traits of intelligence officer in Russian fiction, as well as their social functions. The article consists of two parts, here is presented the second part of the work.

Authors: Sivkina Nataliya Yurievna , Grigorieva Svetlana Valerievna
Published: July 2023

The object of this research is to study the organization of the educational process using active and interactive methods. The relevance of the topic is determined by the insufficient number of theoretical developments, research on the organization of interaction of these methods in a remote format. The purpose of this article was to clarify the features of the use of active and interactive methods in the conditions of distance learning and to present their own teaching methodology, the essence of which is the continuity and variability of the use of active and interactive teaching methods throughout the educational process by different teachers. The research methods are general philosophical methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of systematization of materials, since the authors used various forms of classes, analyzed their effectiveness in terms of assimilation of the material and selected the most valuable options. In addition, the observation method and the survey method were used to obtain student reflection on the classes conducted. The novelty of the work lies in the development and implementation of the author's methodology for teaching Oriental disciplines in a classical university based on the continuity of courses and interdisciplinary interaction, which can be used both in full-time and in distance format. The cooperation of teachers of Oriental disciplines of IMOMI N.I. Lobachevsky State University is aimed at developing and achieving common goals, creating didactic and psychological conditions in which a student can show not only intellectual and cognitive activity, but also a personal social position, his individuality, express himself as a subject of learning. At the same time, teachers of Oriental disciplines carry out the continuity of courses not only from the point of view of the content of the material, but also from the point of view of the choice of teaching methods. The presented experience may be useful to teachers of other universities.

Published: July 2023

The subject of the research is teaching Russian as a foreign language in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The object of the study is the methodology of teaching Russian as a foreign language. In the article, the author presents the results of the analysis of the textbook series "Russian language". The following research methods were used: a comprehensive analysis of the "Russian language" textbook series, analysis and generalization of methodological techniques used in the textbooks, and drawing of conclusions. The theoretical significance and scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the textbooks used for teaching the Russian language in the DPRK was considered and analyzed for the first time in a Russian scientific journal, the features of the methodology for teaching Russian as a foreign language in the DPRK and the presentation of educational material in the considered textbooks were identified, a number of recommendations were made regarding improvement the quality of the textbooks. The main conclusions of the scientific study are that when studying the Russian language in the schools of the DPRK, the main emphasis is made on memorizing phrases and developing the ability to reproduce them, but not on developing the ability to express one's thoughts. The ideological component can be traced quite strongly in the textbooks considered. The absence of native speakers in the team of authors led to a significant number of errors on the pages of the textbooks.

Authors: Kim Sung-Chan , Min Su-Gyeong
Published: July 2023

This study is a preliminary research to specify fire scenarios in storage tanks and evaluate the fire size based on the type of fuel and diameter of the storage tank by applying the liquid evaporation model of FDS . FDS version 6.7.6 was used in the analysis, and the computational domains were established based on the pool diameter with the same proportion. The results obtained from the FDS model indicated that the heat feedback to the fuel surface was relatively well matched with the previous empirical correlations and experimental results. The FDS model showed a relative error within 15% compared with that of previous empirical correlation and showed excellent linearity with respect to the size of the analyzed fuel. The present study contributes to expanding the applicability of FDS models in the fire safety analysis of large storage facilities. Additionally, a comparison analysis with experimental results is required to assess the reliability of heat release rate estimation.
Effects of Generational Gap on Job Burnout within Firefighting Organizations: Focusing on the Mediating Effect of Generational Conflict and Communication Skills
Authors: Kim Bo Min , Hur Mira
Published: July 2023

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between generational differences, generational conflict, communication ability, and job burnout among members of firefighting organizations and examine the effects of generational conflict and communication ability on job burnout. Using a sample of 209 firefighters, generational differences and conflict were found to be positively related to emotional exhaustion, a subfactor of job burnout, and communication ability was negatively related to emotional exhaustion. The relationship between generational differences and emotional exhaustion is fully mediated by generational conflict and communication ability. Although the overall indirect effects were not significant, generational conflict and communication ability were found to influence job burnout. These findings provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the link between generational differences and job burnout. This study’s findings suggest that despite generational gap existing within firefighting organizations, fostering mutual respect and communication ability may be effective in preventing conflict-related burnout.

Authors: Yamanaka Lie , Alves Fábio Ramos , De Oliveira Meire Ramalho , Soares Julio Cesar Valandro
Published: July 2023

Small businesses are of great importance to society. In most countries, they make up the majority of businesses. In Brazil, for example, small businesses account for about 98.5% of all businesses and are responsible for about 70% of formal private sector jobs in the country. However, small businesses have a high mortality rate. Given the socioeconomic importance of small businesses and the problems faced by organizations of this size, it is important to understand the types of strategies used by these organizations and the different impacts they have on business performance. Therefore, a strategic leadership model is necessary for the study and analysis of small businesses. In the literature, there are few authors that deal with this topic. In this sense, this work aimed to contribute by presenting a systematic mapping that takes into account the specificities of small businesses. As a basis for the mapping, case studies were conducted with five technology-based companies in Brazil.

Diallel analysis assumes that the genetic interactions contributing to trait variation can be adequately captured by GCA and SCA effects. However, in reality, genetic interactions can be more complex, involving higher-order epistatic interactions, pleiotropy, and other factors that are not accounted for in the traditional diallel analysis, for this purpose, studies were conducted to study the combinatorial ability of wheat varieties widely planted in Uzbekistan.

The mode of inheritance for the 1000- kernel weight, vegetation period, plant height, vitreousity, grain yield, mass of grain in the ear and productive accumulation of 4x4 full diallel crosses of wheat varieties was estimated in F1 generation. The results indicated significant differences between the parents for Generаl Combining Ability and cross for Specific Combining Ability, reciprocal effect for 1000- kernel weight, vegetation period, plant height, vitreousity, grain yield, mass of grain in the ear and productive accumulation. However, analysis of variance of combining capable for grain yield indicated that Generаl Combining Ability and Reciprocal effects were highly importance while Specific Combining Ability. Highly significant Generаl Combining Ability and Specific Combining Ability variances showed the predominance of additive, epistatic and dominant genes in controlling this character.

In the process of hybridization, the application of the original biped gene is important, and for its appearance in the generation, it is necessary to choose a positive line of General Combining Ability. In this way, it will be possible to pre-estimate the characteristics of the future.

A positive and negative heterozygosity for the parent was found for the studied trait, which increased the genetic diversity of the parents.

Applicability of Multispectral Images to Detect Soil Organic Carbon Content in Land Suitability Assessment: A Case of a Sugarcane Plantation
Authors: Yapa L. K. K. , Piyasena N. M. P. M. , Herath H. M. S. K.
Published: July 2023

Soil organic carbon is important for sugarcane production as it plays a significant role in the development of soil aggregates and soil improvement in any agricultural soil, hence increasing soil health. Increasing soil organic matter encourages soil aggregation and slows the rate of organic matter breakdown. Soil aggregates act as nuclei for soil stabilization with time. It improves soil attributes by increasing organic carbon content in the soil and enhances the physical properties of the soil that favor water infiltration and retention. However, traditional methods of SOC determination like laboratory analyses are expensive and time-consuming. The objective of the study was to assess the applicability of multispectral images to determine SOC content in the surface soil. The research adopted two means to determine SOC of sugarcane. Under the first method, the lands were selected according to the sugarcane productivity in the study area, namely: low (35-54 t ha-1), medium (55-79 t ha-1), and high (80-100 t ha-1) productivity. Soil samples were collected up to 15cm depth. Walkley and Black Method was used for SOC determination in the laboratory. Simultaneously, multispectral images of each land were obtained using a drone platform. Multispectral images were then used to calculate Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Bare Soil Index (BSI), and Modified Secondary Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index (MSAVI2). These indices were used to predict SOC. The outcome was compared with SOC obtained from the laboratory analysis results. The results showed that the soil organic carbon (SOC) varied between 2.72 and 3.63% from the mean for the   the highest and lowest productivity lands respectively. The results of regression analysis observed a moderate correlation between SOC and the BSI values (0.4828). Weak correlations were observed in MSAVI2 (0.0269) and NDVI (0.0858). Future research should focus on improving these indices for SOC determination with increasing sample quantity.

Aim: The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis to develop a power tiller-operated pneumatic planter.

Study Design:  Completely Randomized Design and Tukey pairwise test in done on the SAS On Demand for Academic platform was used for the study.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Farm Machinery and Power Engineering (FMPE), Department of Agricultural Processing and Food Engineering (APFE) and Department of Agricultural Structures Civil and Environmental Engineering (ASCEE), College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (CAET), Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), between July 2022 and August 2022.

Methodology: This study was conducted to determine the engineering properties of cotton seeds namely BS–279, RCH–659 and KCHH–2739 as a function of moisture content. The different properties of these cotton seeds were studied in the engineering property laboratory and UTM laboratory of the CAET, OUAT, Bhubaneswar. The objective of this study was to investigate some moisture-dependent physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical properties of cotton seeds.  The aim of this investigation was to analyze the physical, gravimetric, frictional, aerodynamic, and mechanical characteristics of cotton seeds at three different moisture content levels, ranging from 8% to 14% on a dry basis. These moisture content levels were referred to as M1 (8-10%), M2 (10-12%), and M3 (12-14%).

Results: The geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, thousand seed weight, angle of repose and terminal velocity were found to be in the range of 5.05–6.57 mm, 60–67%, 0.51–0.59,78.70–103.67 g, 39.75–44.75˚ and 9.26–13.28 ms-1 respectively as moisture content of seed increased from 8 to 14% dry basis. The mean diameter, volume, porosity, terminal velocity and coefficient of friction showed a positive correlation with the moisture content. The bulk density, true density and porosity of seed decreased from initial range of 637.82–696.12 to 524.12–607.60 kgm-3, 1155.00–1266.12 to 868.28–1007.60 kgm-3 and 43.23–44.96 to 39.75–41.55% respectively with an increase in moisture content. Rupture force was found to be negatively correlated with moisture content and loading rate.

Conclusion: The effect of moisture content on all dependent parameters was found to be significant (α=0.05) under Tukey pair wise test but these were non-significant for the varieties of cotton seeds considered under the study. These engineering properties can be considered while designing of planters and other sowing machinery, harvesters, ginning, and oil extraction machines of cotton seed.

The Bartholin glands are paired glands that are typically non-palpable whose function is to secrete fluid onto the mucosal surface of the labia. Disorders with the Bartholin’s glands include cysts and abscesses. Bartholin’s cyst rarely grows so large as to be confused with the fetal head at crowning. What we are familiar with is either the gynaecological emergency of Bartholin’s abscess or the day case cyst of the gland which is considered a registrar's operation list, both of which are best treated by marsupialization.

We came across this unusual presentation of giant Bartholin cyst in a private specialist clinic setting. Our intention is not to create an avenue for lighter mood, but to add to numerous issues with inimical nature of diseases, poverty and ignorance (triad of health problems)peculiar to Sub-Sahara Africa.

The widow in discussion who is burdened with care of her family alone, ought to have been partnered with holistically. She had a sexual partner. The sexual partner, the nuclear family members and the society has their roles to play so that she won’t be viewed as a neglected widow. Clinicians should be aware of this entity, although it can be rare.

Following the adoption of ethnic based political arrangement, Ethiopia ratified new constitution in 1995. Inter-ethnic clashes, internal displacement, and ethnic tensions have become protracted security challenges of Ethiopia. Particularly, dispersed minorities are principal victims of these challenges. Furthermore, dispersed minorities are invisible in the political process and power sharing specially in regional states. Accordingly, this article delved in to the impacts of national and sub-national constitutions and institutional set up on dispersed minority rights and security. Based on this objective, qualitative method was employed and both primary and secondary data sources were used from multiple sectors and multi-levels including victims (internally displaced persons (IDPs1) in Burayu). Accordingly, the results of the study supposed that national constitution, sub-national constitutions that designed pursue the national constitution are not safeguarding the minority but galvanizing sources of ethnic conflicts and intolerance provided that other factors like ethno-linguistic regional autonomy and its poor implementations, including regional special forces are still contributing for protracted ethnic conflicts and social instability that usually result in minority insecurity and conflict induced internal displacements. Unless Ethiopia amends both federal and regional states constitutions and dissolve Special Forces of regional states, maintaining peace and security, assuring human rights, sustaining horizontal integration among regional states, raising accountability of regional governors and assuring equality and justice of citizens will become a long-drawn-out challenges for national government.
