Published: December 2024

Seasonal-calving pasture-based systems characterize Irish dairy production. During the dry period, cows are housed and offered predominantly grass silage, providing unique transition cow management opportunities. This study aimed to describe transition period disease incidence and management strategies reported by farmers, and to evaluate their associations with herd size and calving pattern to inform and guide research activities and national advisory. An online survey distributed amongst 3,899 Teagasc Technical Dairy Advisory clients yielded 525 responses suitable for analysis. Results are presented for all respondents, by herd size and by the two most common calving systems (spring- [84.3%; 439/521] and split-calving [12.9%; 67/521]). Disease incidence was reportedly highest in cows within their first 3 weeks postpartum (58%; 299/519), in cows calving at the end of the calving season (48%; 245/510) and in multiparous cows (52%; 266/513). Respondents reported treating >3% of their herd for milk fever (23%; 120/521) and retained placenta (13%; 68/518), and <1% of their herd for grass tetany (82.6%; 419/507) and ketosis (72.7%; 368/506). Regarding management, dry cow body condition monitoring (73%; 365/497), dry cow mineral supplementation (61%; 304/497), and Ca supplementation at calving (61%; 314/487) were most commonly reported. Other milk fever prevention strategies supported by research in other production systems were not commonly reported (low K [20%; 101/497] and negative dietary cation-anion difference diet [6%; 31/497]). The odds of reporting keeping records of antibiotic treatment for milk fever were higher (OR = 3.20) for farmers from small compared to large herds. In conclusion, responses to our survey suggest that milk fever is a transition cow health concern in Irish dairy farms. Efforts should be devoted to enhance farmers’ uptake of existing research-supported prophylactic strategies for milk fever and to optimize commonly reported management strategies in the Irish dairy production context.
The internet of things deployed for occupational health and safety purposes: A qualitative study of opportunities and ethical issues
Authors: Bouchikhi Maeva El , Weerts Sophie , Clavien Christine
Published: December 2024

The deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology (connected devices enabling algorithmic analysis of behaviour and individualized feedback) has been growing increasingly over the last decades, including in the workplace where they can serve occupational safety and health (OSH) purposes. However, although the IoT is deployed for good aims, the use of these devices raises numerous ethical issues which have had little literature specifically dedicated to them. To fill this gap, we have investigated the ethical views of key stakeholders on the deployment of IoT for OSH. We conducted a focus group and semi-structured interviews including 24 stakeholders and analysed transcripts with an open coding method. Participants were favourably disposed towards the use of some versions of IoT (posture-tracker chair, step-tracker watch), but rejected other devices (sound-tracker on computer). They highlighted an important number of ethical issues which could be grouped into five overarching categories: goal relevance, adverse side effects, role of employees, data process, and vagueness. Their inputs were remarkably coherent with the issues highlighted in the academic literature. They also felt quite disenchanted and shed a stark light on the lack of information at the disposal of stakeholders in the front line to assess such technology. Our results provide important ground material on which to base necessary and still-awaited guidelines and regulation instruments.
Association of low-level heavy metal exposure with risk of chronic kidney disease and long-term mortality
Authors: Kuo Pai-Feng , Huang Yun-Ting , Chuang Min-Hsiang , Jiang Ming-Yan
Published: December 2024

Background

While the nephrotoxicity of lead and cadmium is well-established, the impact of low-level exposure on risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and long-term health outcomes, especially in CKD patients, remains unclear. This study examines the association between low-level lead and cadmium exposure with risks of CKD and long-term mortality.

Method

We analyzed data from adult participants of 2003–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Elevated blood lead (≥ 1.5 μg/dL) and cadmium (≥ 0.4 μg/L) levels were assessed for their associations with CKD and all-cause mortality, with survival tracked until December 31, 2019.

Results

Among the 24,810 participants (mean age 44.4 years, 48.9% male), 1,309 (3.9%) had CKD. Lead and cadmium levels were significantly higher in participants with CKD compared to those without. Elevated lead (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.15–1.74) and cadmium (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.03–1.46) levels were both associated with increased CKD risk, with the highest risk in those with both lead ≥ 1.5 μg/dL and cadmium ≥ 0.4 μg/L (OR: 1.65, 95% CI 1.27–2.14). During a median follow-up of 141 months, 2,255 participants died (7.0 per 10,000 person-months). Elevated cadmium was associated with higher mortality risk in CKD (HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.07–1.88) and non-CKD populations (HR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.24–1.58), while lead levels were not significantly associated with mortality in either group. Participants with both elevated lead and cadmium had a significantly higher mortality risk (HR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.13–1.54).

Conclusion

Low-level cadmium and lead exposure are linked to increased CKD risk, with cadmium also associated with higher long-term mortality in both CKD and non-CKD populations. These findings highlight the need for public health efforts to reduce exposure and further research on long-term impacts.

Proximal Polyps Are Associated With Higher Incidence of Colorectal Cancer: Analysis of the Minnesota Colon Cancer Control Study
Authors: Goffredo Paolo , Troester Alexander , Wolf Jack M. , Rudser Kyle , Church Timothy R. , Shaukat Aasma
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION:

Despite reports indicating that polyps proximal to the splenic flexure have higher rates of metachronous colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC), the role of adenoma location on surveillance recommendations remains unclear. This study aimed to analyze the association between index polyp location and postcolonoscopy CRC among participants of the Minnesota Colon Cancer Control Study.

METHODS:

The Minnesota Colon Cancer Control Study randomized 46,551 patients 50–80 years to usual care, annual, or biennial screening with fecal occult–blood testing. Screening was performed between 1976 and 1992. Positive fecal occult–blood testing was followed by colonoscopy. We analyzed participants whose colonoscopy revealed at least 1 adenoma. Patients were divided into those with at least 1 lesion proximal to the splenic flexure and those without.

RESULTS:

Of 2,295 patients, 815 had proximal adenomas. The majority were men; mean age = 62 years at randomization, and 69 years at index polyp. There was a high rate of advanced adenomas: 44% ≥ 1 polyp ≥1 cm, 35% with villous histology, and 5% high-grade dysplasia. At 20 years, 87 patients had a CRC diagnosis, and the estimated cumulative incidence of CRC was 4.3%. Proximal adenomas had a higher risk of developing a postcolonoscopy CRC (subdistribution hazard ratio = 1.63, 95% confidence interval = 1.05–2.53, P = 0.03), which was attenuated after adjusting for polyp multiplicity in sensitivity analyses (subdistribution hazard ratio = 1.56, 95% confidence interval = 0.96–2.53, P = 0.07).

DISCUSSION:

Although patients with proximal adenomas were found to have higher hazards of postcolonoscopy CRC, adjusting for polyp multiplicity attenuated the strength of association. Further research is warranted to determine whether polyp location should be factored in the determination of appropriate surveillance intervals.
The Effect of the Second Forward View on the Detection Rate of Sessile Serrated Lesions in the Proximal Colon: A Single-Center Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
Authors: Wu Jiandi , Zhang Qingqing , Li Xueyan , Bai Tao , Hou Xiaohua , Li Gangping , Song Jun
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION:

The detection rate of proximal sessile serrated lesion (PSSLDR) is linked to the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. However, research on second forward view (SFV) examinations for PSSLDR remains limited. This first randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of the proximal SFV on the PSSLDR.

METHODS:

Patients were randomized into 2 groups during proximal colonoscopy: standard colonoscopy (SC) and SFV. The SC group underwent a standard examination, whereas the SFV group underwent a second examination of the proximal colon (cecum to splenic flexure). The primary outcome was PSSLDR, with secondary outcomes, including the proximal polyp detection rate (PPDR), proximal adenoma detection rate (PADR), and lesion miss rate, compared between the 2 groups.

RESULTS:

Among 246 patients (SC = 124; SFV = 122), SFV significantly improved the PSSLDR by 7.4% compared with SC (9.8% vs 2.4%, P = 0.017). SFV increased the PPDR by 20.2% (55.7% vs 35.5%, P = 0.002) and PADR by 12.7% (37.7% vs 25%, P = 0.039). Multivariate analysis revealed that sessile serrated lesions (odds ratio [OR] = 7.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.58, 37.59]), inflammatory polyps (OR = 4.24, 95% CI [1.73, 10.39]), and lesion size (OR = 0.76, 95% CI [0.60, 0.96]) were associated with proximal missed lesions. The overall polyp miss rate was 52.9%, with miss rates of 61.0% for polyps <5 mm, 80% for sessile serrated lesions, and 42.2% for adenomas. Furthermore, 12.3% of patients experienced changes in surveillance intervals from SFV examination.

DISCUSSION:

SFV examination of the proximal colon significantly improved the PSSLDR by 7.4%, PPDR by 20.2%, and PADR by 12.7%, while shortening the detection interval by 12.3%, making it a valuable and cost-effective addition to routine colonoscopy.
Greek adolescents on the Asia Minor Catastrophe: perceptions of the past, views on the present, expectations for the future
Authors: Repoussi Maria , Kouseri Georgia
Published: December 2024

The year 2022 marked one hundred years since the defeat of Greece in the Greco–Turkish war (1919–22) and the end of the Greek presence in Asia Minor, two events that are registered in Greek historiography and collective historical memory as the ‘Asia Minor Catastrophe’. The Asia Minor Catastrophe gradually evolved into an important pillar for the formation of collective memory and historical consciousness in modern Greece. However, its links with contemporary historical culture and the attitudes of Greek citizens on critical foreign policy issues, especially regarding Türkiye, have not been explored. For example, does the historical perception of the Asia Minor Catastrophe influence citizens’ attitudes regarding Greek–Turkish relations? Do Greek citizens’ views on contemporary Greek–Turkish differences determine their historical perception of the Asia Minor Catastrophe? With these thoughts in mind and in order to address the above question, we attempted to explore 18-year-old adolescents’ perceptions of the Asia Minor Catastrophe. The sample for the research involved 20 18-year-olds attending a state school in Athens in spring 2022. A semi-structured interview was chosen as the main research tool for the study, and the views expressed by the participants were recorded, while the data analysis followed the lines of qualitative content analysis. Adolescents’ perception of the Asia Minor Catastrophe seems to influence their attitude towards contemporary Greek–Turkish issues.
Iconografía y teología del poder

Published: December 2024

Resumen: A fines del siglo XV convergen múltiples experiencias de orden global que contribuyeron a producir una imagen de mundo específica tradicionalmente asociada al recorrido complejo de la modernidad. En este espacio de convergencias global y diferenciado, la Addizione Erculea de 1492 cumple ella misma una función de expresión de conflicto en la transformación del espacio público y de la representación iconográfica del poder hasta entonces vinculado con los frescos del Pallazo Schifanoia. En este artículo analizaremos esa transferencia, sus continuidades y discontinuidades, poniendo especial énfasis en la historia urbana como diálogo con las tensiones entre las nociones teológicas de civitas dei, civitas deorum y città que surgen con su propia conflictividad en la tendencia a la producción de un espacio abstracto de administración del poder en la modernidad.

Childhood Education and Popular Islam: Islamic Psychology as a Pattern of Early Childhood Education in the Authoritative Affinity of Popular Islam
Authors: Leany Muhammad , Ahnan 'Azzam Dimas
Published: December 2024

Purpose – This study examines how Islamic psychology contributes to early childhood education by integrating spirituality, emotional well-being, and intellectual development, while addressing the impact of globalization and popular Islam on the authenticity of Islamic teachings. Design/methods/approach – The study employs a qualitative methodology centered on conceptual analysis, utilizing systematic reviews of scholarly articles, books, and relevant media. This approach critically examines key concepts such as fitrah (innate nature), nafs (soul dynamics), and their applications in early childhood education, particularly in the context of media and cultural globalization. Findings – The findings reveal that Islamic psychology provides a robust foundation for addressing contemporary challenges in early childhood education. Key principles such as fitrah and tawhid support the development of children’s spiritual, cognitive, and emotional capacities. However, the increasing commercialization of Islamic values through popular media risks diluting these teachings into superficial symbols. The study emphasizes the need for parental and educator involvement to ensure the alignment of popular Islamic content with authentic religious values, providing a balanced approach to moral and spiritual education. Additionally, the research highlights the potential of Islamic psychological principles to offer innovative solutions to counteract identity crises in children, promoting resilience against the influences of globalization and consumer culture. Research implications/limitations – The study is limited to theoretical and conceptual analyses of Islamic psychology in early childhood education and does not include empirical data. Future research should focus on field-based studies to evaluate the practical application of these concepts in diverse cultural and educational settings. Additionally, the findings underscore the necessity for policy reforms to integrate Islamic psychological principles into early childhood education curricula. Practical implications – This research provides actionable insights for integrating Islamic psychology into early childhood education by combining spiritual, cognitive, and emotional development, leveraging media responsibly, and creating Islamic value-oriented environments to help children navigate sociocultural challenges while maintaining their religious identity. Originality/value – This study highlights the integration of Islamic psychological principles to address challenges in early childhood education amid popular Islam and globalization, offering a holistic paradigm that balances intellectual, spiritual, and emotional development to create resilient, morally grounded individuals.

“Fear for children”, Mother-Child Dyad and Future Mobility Trajectories of Displaced Ukrainians in Czechia and Poland: Children as a Factor for Fleeing and Living after the Full-Scale Invasion
Authors: Kamionka Mateusz , Macková Lucie , Jirka Luděk
Published: December 2024

This article addresses the issue of children’s care-receiving practices in the context of Ukrainian displacement in Czechia and Poland. Single mothers often need to care for their children alone, creating specific family power dynamics, especially in the setting of transnational reconfiguration, as fathers remain in Ukraine. This article aims to adopt the subjective bottom-up perception of connections associated with navigation in the new environment and shows that power dynamics is on the side of children as they are the dominant driver in the living arrangement in a new country and in the case of future mobility trajectories of the families. Using a qualitative methodology, drawing on 56 semi-structured interviews with Ukrainian displaced women in Czechia and Poland in 2023, this paper sheds light on the issue of family in the war situation. While studying the position of children in migration studies is not new, examining displaced family arrangements offers promising new insights into this topic. The focus on children will be provided from the perspective of Ukrainian female participants living in Czechia and Poland, using the concept of “doing family”.
Gendered labour market outcomes among South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET) completers
Authors: Friderichs Tamaryn Jean , Rogan Michael , Needham Seamus
Published: December 2024

South Africa’s post-school education and training (PSET) system plays an important role in addressing historical inequalities and preparing youth for the labour market. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) colleges have seen rising female enrolment, including in traditionally male-dominated fields like Engineering. This study examines whether women’s increased participation in TVET programmes translates into equal labour market opportunities. Using administrative enrolment data and a tracer study of TVET completers, findings show that female completers face significantly higher unemployment rates than men, unrelated to the over-representation in Business Studies or services programmes. Additionally, women earn 22% less than men, even after accounting for study choices and qualification levels. While challenges remain in ensuring gender parity, the increasing presence of women in male-dominated fields signals progress. Efforts must focus on translating these gains into equitable employment outcomes.

Published: December 2024

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a granulomatous vasculitis of medium and large arteries that usually affects the aorta and/or its main branches. We report a 66-year-old, female, black, and an active smoker patient. The patient consulted due to diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, without neurological manifestations suggestive of intracranial involvement. Vital signs within acceptable limits, pain on palpation in the epigastrium and left flank, and positive renal fist percussion. Com-puted tomography (CT) angiography showed intramural inflammatory lesions and Stanford type B aortic dissection; therefore, transfer to the intensive care unit was indicated. Vascular surgery sug-gested intramural hematoma of the descending aorta and ulcer adjacent to the minor celiac trunk. Oral beta-blocker was started. Markers and an electrocardiogram were taken without findings of acute coronary cause. Control CT angiography showed thickening of the aortic walls from the arch to the bifurcation consistent with aortitis with elevated acute phase reactants. Pain improved and the patient was transferred to the general ward. Control images indicated suspicion of GCA vascu-litis, so management with corticosteroids was started. Patient reported pain again, and a magnetic resonance (MRI) angiography was requested. It showed diffuse and concentric thickening of the aortic walls from the arch to the bifurcation. This suggested an inflammatory process of the aortic wall. After 7 days of treatment with prednisolone, patient was discharged due to decreased pain and no recurrence of other symptoms. Medication was indicated to continue, and a control MRI angiog-raphy was requested. Significant pain and imaging improvement was found, so the corticosteroid dose was tapered until it was discontinued.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To compare the levels of empathy evaluated in two different years at a university under-going continuous and successful accreditation processes. Material andmethods: Exploratory and longitudinal research. The empathy measurements, in two moments (2016 and 2022), of dentistry students in a university undergoing successful institu-tional accreditation processes (2017 and 2022) were compared. Empathy data were obtained using the Jefferson Empathy Scale (student version). The reliability was estimated, and the compliance of the three-dimensional model of empathy and invariance of the model in the analyzed groups were checked. Empathy comparisons were performed using a trifactorial analysis of variance. The signi-ficance level used was α<.05 and β>.80. Results. The reliability of the data, the presence of the three-dimensional model, and the invarian-ce of the model were verified. The values of empathy and the Perspective and “Walking in Patient’s Shoes” dimensions do not differ between the compared years, but the Compassionate Care dimension did. The classification of the observed empathy values, places it as “medium level”. Conclusions.The levels of empathy, classified as medium level, did not vary between the two stu-died moments. The study allows us to say that, possibly, the systematic absence of teaching empa-thy could be a factor why this attribute has not increased.
Reflexión sobre el duelo perinatal invisibilizado a través del discernimiento bioético de un caso
Authors: Estrada Zapata Katherinne , Parada Romero Beatriz , Alfaro Romero Dina
Published: December 2024

La muerte de un hijo en período de gestación es un momento doloroso, lleno de sentimientos negativos por parte de la madre, padre y familia que esperan la llegada de un ser que les cambiará la vida. Este proceso no es ajeno al personal de salud que brinda la atención y cuidado en este difícil momento. Según la literatura, el personal de salud se ve enfrentado a una situación sin las herramientas necesarias para otorgar una atención de calidad y con una mirada compasiva. El objetivo de este artículo es hacer una reflexión a partir del caso de una madre que atraviesa por un duelo perinatal, invisibilizado por parte del personal de salud; se realiza una narración desde el contexto que envuelve a la madre, padre y familia, su pérdida y vivencia del duelo, conceptualizando las principales concepciones de la temática planteada, para luego aplicar el discernimiento bioético del caso. Se entrega una propuesta de manejo del duelo perinatal, con el fin de contribuir a la reflexión social y multidisciplinaria de la compasión en la atención ante la muerte gestacional. Se concluye que si bien se ha avanzado a nivel mundial en esta materia, se debe fiscalizar el cumplimiento de las normativas, además de contribuir al proceso desde la responsabilidad individual.

Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Identificar evidencias de prácticas de prevención cuaternaria en los profesionales de la salud y conocer el nivel de automedicación de los pacientes en dos centros hospitalarios de Chiclayo (Perú) en 2021.

Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal, con información obtenida de los Centros de Descarte de Covid-19 del Hospital Nacional Almanzor Aguinaga Asenjo y del Hospital Regional Docente Las Mercedes, habiendo aplicado un cuestionario sobre automedicación a una muestra de 277 pacientes, representados por 144 participantes mujeres y 133 varones; así como una escala correspondiente a prevención cuaternaria aplicada a 84 profesionales de la salud, con una validez y confiabilidad de 0.83 y 0.79, respectivamente, según prueba Alfa de Cronbach.

Resultados: El 92.9 % de los profesionales de la salud no practican prevención cuaternaria en su centro laboral y el 35 % de ellos evidencian un desempeño muy alejado de ese propósito. Por otro lado, más del 60 % de pacientes refieren tomar medicamentos sin prescripción médica y sin seguir la dosis y frecuencia recomendada por el profesional de la salud.

Conclusiones: Resulta imprescindible educar al personal de salud en prevención cuaternaria para que los procedimientos médicos sean plenamente justificados y éticamente responsables. Además, frente a los casos recurrentes de?automedicación, resulta determinante aplicar medidas de control rigurosas, sancionando a los actores sociales involucrados y proponiendo un sistema de vigilancia.

Published: December 2024

Envejecer es un proceso humano de características multidimensionales, en el cual incide la sociedad al construir sus representaciones sociales basadas en los discursos y prácticas a nivel cultural acerca del envejecimiento. Por esto, se puede conllevar a cambios acerca de la vejez y el envejecimiento, que concurrirán en nuevos preceptos sociales y culturales; ello justifica un creciente interés hacia los recursos derivados de los vínculos sociales de los individuos, así como la relación existente entre las relaciones interpersonales de las personas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la experiencia de las personas mayores de un Centro Vida en la ciudad de Tunja (Boyacá) sobre las redes sociales de apoyo. Investigación de tipo cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico, se describieron las experiencias relacionadas con las redes sociales de apoyo instrumentales, funcionales y contextuales. Se aplicaron entrevistas a profundidad y grupo de enfoque. Se pudo observar que las redes sociales de apoyo permitieron encontrar los puntos de unión en cuanto la relevancia que tiene el Centro Vida para las personas mayores. Las experiencias de las personas mayores frente a las redes sociales de apoyo estuvieron reconfiguradas y reelaboradas en su propio concepto del significado de la Red social de apoyo, y se pudo determinar que estas, son de importancia en esta etapa del ciclo vital.
Indicators of the Performance of The Political System in Singapore
Authors: Azzez Dlxwaz I. , Hayder Sabah S.
Published: December 2024

The performance of political systems is one of the most critical issues in the current era. It is widely acknowledged that not all political systems operate at the same level of efficiency. Some excel in fulfilling their duties, and certain indicators demonstrate when a political system is performing at a high level. The political system in Singapore is one such example, having effectively carried out its political, social, and economic functions through the policies and strategies implemented by the Singaporean government. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of Singapore's political system by focusing on political, economic, and social indicators. The study begins with an overview of Singapore's geography and history, then examines the nature and structure of its political system and its stages of development. It also identifies the most prominent indicators of the system's performance at political, economic, and social levels. The study concludes that key indicators of Singapore's political performance include fighting corruption, upholding the rule of law, and implementing political reforms. Economic performance indicators encompass the focus on investment, commercial and industrial sector development, energy sector management, setting limits on reliance on traditional sectors, encouraging individual participation in the economy and free trade, and developing strategies to eradicate poverty and unemployment. These strategies include policies that rely on skilled cadres, experts, and training, as well as the provision of human resources and a strong emphasis on education.
تأمين القضية الكردية من قبل الدول المجاورة

ملخص
إن القضية الكردية في الشرق الأوسط غامضة ومعقدة، حيث يمثل الأكراد أكبر أمة بدون دولة خاصة بهم. وقد تم تقسيمهم بين أربع دول تشترك في التاريخ والعرق والقرب الجغرافي. ويعتبر إقليم كردستان العراق، وهو كيان دستوري وقانوني نتج عن قرار مجلس الأمن التابع للأمم المتحدة رقم 688 في 5 أبريل 1991، كيانًا سياسيًا معترفًا به دوليًا. ومع ذلك، فقد كان مصدر قلق للدول المجاورة وأصبح موضوعًا للأمن. ونتيجة لمخاوف هذه الدول المجاورة، غالبًا ما يتلقى إقليم كردستان العراق والأكراد بشكل عام تهديدات، وتعتبر أفعالهم وتحركاتهم تهديدات للأمن القومي للدول المجاورة.
وفقًا لمدرسة كوبنهاجن للدراسات الأمنية، يمكن إضعاف الدولة من خلال تقويض هويتها. كما تفترض وجهة النظر الواقعية أن الفاعل السياسي يمكن إضعافه من خلال استخدام القوة السياسية والعسكرية. وبدلاً من التعامل مع الأكراد وهويتهم المتميزة، التي تشمل لغتهم وثقافتهم وتاريخهم، باعتبارهم جزءاً لا يتجزأ من مجتمع متعدد الأعراق، أصبحت القضية الكردية موضوعاً لعملية أمنية من جانب الدول المجاورة. وقد تم النظر إليها باعتبارها تهديداً لابد من استئصاله. ولتحقيق هذا الغرض، كان إضعاف هوية الأكراد الخطوة الأولى نحو الأمننة.

Authors: Kaya Sena , Kumova Filiz
Published: December 2024

The aim of the present study was to explore the correlational and predictive relationships between addictive-like eating tendency and hedonistic eating, body satisfaction, romantic relationship quality and Obsessive-Compulsive, Borderline, Dependent personality disorder tendencies. Possible differentiations on addictive-like eating tendency by gender and marital status were also explored for inventional purposes. Furthermore, addictive-like eating and hedonistic eating tendencies of the participants were compared with respect to their body mass index. The present study was carried out with 768 participants aged 18-63. Demographic information form including socio-demographic information of the participants, Addictive-Like Eating Scale, Body Satisfaction Scale, Hedonistic Eating Scale and Coolidge Axis II Plus Turkish Short Form were used for the present study. Data were analyzed via correlation analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, two-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U Test. The results revealed that addictive-like eating tendency was positively related to hedonistic eating, Obsessive-Compulsive, Borderline and Dependent personality disorder tendencies whereas it was negatively correlated with body satisfaction. Furthermore, hedonistic eating, body satısfaction and Borderline Personality Disorder tendency were found out to be significant predictors of addictive-like eating inclination. It was found that these predictive relationships did not differ by gender or marital status. Moreover, results indicated that both addictive-like eating and hedonistic eating behaviors of the participants whose body mass indexes were above 25, were significantly higher than those with body mass indexes of 25 and lower. Results were discussed within the scope of literature.
BELGESEL FİLMLERDE KARAKTERLERİN ANLATIYA ETKİSİ: HAYAT BAZEN BELGESEL ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Hakverdi Cem
Published: December 2024

Belgesel sinemanın toplumsal hayata olan etkisi veya ele aldığı konuyu ne derece temsil edebileceği konusu üzerine yürütülmekte olan tartışmalar uzun yıllardan bu yana süregelmektedir. Bu tartışmaların çok önemli bir bölümü belgesel sinemanın gerçeklik ile olan ilişkisi üzerinden temellendirilmiş, belgesel sinemada var olabilecek gerçekliğin ise çok büyük oranda “yönetmen tarafından yorumlanmış bir gerçeklik” olabileceğine sıklıkla vurgu yapılmıştır. Belgesel filmlerdeki gerçeklik tartışması çoğunlukla “yönetmenin gerçekliği” ve film yapım sürecindeki teknik olanakların sınırlamaları üzerinden yürütülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı bahsi geçen tartışmalara karakter odaklı belgeseller üzerinden, filmin öznesi konumundaki kişilerin belgeselin gerçekliğini ne yönde etkileyebileceğini irdeleyerek katkı sağlamaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi benimsenmiş ve çalışma için seçilen belgeselin öznesi durumundaki karakterler ile derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya örneklem olarak ise karakter odaklı ve gözlemsel bir belgesel olan Hayat Bazen (Life Sometimes, 2017) isimli belgesel film seçilmiştir. Belgeselin öznesi konumundaki iki ana karakter belgeselin yapım sürecinde 2,5 yıl süre ile izlenmiş, karakterlerin gündelik yaşamları üzerinden kent yaşamı ile kırsal yaşamın pratiklerine ilişkin bir tartışma ortamının yaratılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda belgeselin öznesi konumundaki karakterlerin, diğer bütün etkenler ile birlikte tartışılan konu özelindeki gerçekliğe etki edebileceği sonucu çıkarılmıştır.
Miejsce Pamięci „Danica” w narodowej i lokalnej polityce historycznej oraz kulturze pamięci w Chorwacji i Koprivnicy
Authors: Najbar-Agičić Magdalena , Seničnjak Ivana
Published: December 2024

W artykule przedstawiono ewolucję stosunku władz państwowych i lokalnych wobec Miejsca Pamięci „Danica” w Koprivnicy, stworzonego na przełomie lat 70. i 80. XX w. na terenie pierwszego obozu kocnentracyjnego, założonego przez ustaszy. Funkcjonował on przez kilka miesięcy 1941 roku, najczęściej był miejscem tranzytowym dla więźniów kierowanych do innych ośrodków. Publiczny i symboliczny odbiór tego miejsca stanowi indykatywny element zmian, które zachodziły w ramach polityki historycznej i kultury pamięci w Chorwacji na przestrzeni kilkudziesięciu lat. Na podstawie relacji prasowych i literatury naukowej zaprezentowane zostaną działania w kierunku „memorializacji” tego obszaru, przedstawiona będzie ewolucja oficjalnego stosunku władz wobec tego, co działo się w „Danicy” podczas II wojny światowej. W socjalistycznej Jugosławii centralne miejsce w polityce historycznej zajmowały dzieje Walki Narodowowyzwoleńczej, prowadzonej przez komunistyczny ruch partyzancki (Narodnooslobodilačka borba; NOB). Był to jeden z niekwestionowanym mitów założycielski socjalistycznej federacji i filar legitymizacji rządów komunistycznych. Akcentowano przede wszystkim bohaterską walkę partyzantów, a miejsce ofiar cywilnych było marginalne. Poświęcone im miejsca pamięci tworzono zazwyczaj w późniejszych dekadach. W przypadku Koprivnicy prace w tym kierunku podjęto w drugiej połowie lat 70., a Miejsce Pamięci „Danica“ otwarto w 1981 r.. Po rozpadzie Jugosławii „Danicę” pomijano w oficjalnym dyskursie a miejsce było zaniedbane i kojarzone z „niechcianą” pamięcią o komunistycznej partyzantce z czasów II wojny światowej. Prace nad przywróceniem tego miejsca w kolektywnej pamięci podjęto dopiero w XXI wieku.

Recenzja książki: Federico Bortoli, La distribution de la communion dans la main. Etudes historiques, canoniques et pastorales, trad. G. Luyt, Editeur Artège, Paris 2019, ss. 288
Authors: Nawracała Tomasz
Published: December 2024

Książka ks. Federica Bortolego porusza kwestię sposobu przyjmowania komunii świętej. W bogato udokumentowanych źródłach autor ukazuje przejście od komunii świętej na rękę do komunii świętej do ust. Temu przejściu towarzyszył wzrost świadomości w obecność eucharystyczną Chrystusa i troski o każdą cząstkę konsekrowanej hostii. Książka skupia się na analizie współczesnych dokumentów Magisterium Kościoła i pokazuje kształtowanie się nowej formy przyjmowania komunii świętej. Komunia święta do ust uznawana jest przez Magisterium za najwłaściwszy sposób przyjmowania Ciała Pańskiego, pozwalający na uniknięcie jego desakralizacji lub braku szacunku. Wprowadzona po Soborze Watykańskim II komunia na rękę wynika z nadużyć liturgicznych i usilnego powrotu do pierwszych wieków chrześcijaństwa. Taki powrót traktuje dzieje Kościoła nie jako trwały rozwój, dokonywany pod wpływem Ducha Świętego, ale jako dekadencję. Im dalej od pierwotnej wspólnoty apostolskiej, tym słabsze oddziaływanie tego, co nadprzyrodzone, i tym mocniejsze działanie tego, co ludzkie. Książka przedstawia fascynującą historię XX-wiecznych zmian, następujących często zbyt szybko i bez brania pod uwagę wskazań Stolicy Apostolskiej.
Nationalisme et littérature au cours de la renaissance acadienne (1864-J930). Voix discordantes
Authors: Guérin Pierre M.
Published: December 2024

This article examines a key event in the literary history of the Acadian renaissance (1864-1930), the founding of newspapers. Our study deals specifically with the status given to literary works in newspapers. In sequence, we will look at Marichette's Lettres (1895-1898) published in L'Évangéline, the novel Placide, l'homme mystérieux by Paul (1904-906) published in L'Impartial and the play « Subercase » (1902, 1936) published in Le Moniteur acadien
Téte-à-téte avec Hamlet ou Jules Laforgue et George Rodenbach suites sur les pas de William Shakespeare
Authors: Lewandowska Alicja
Published: December 2024

The aim of the paper at hand is to find parallel elements between the following two texts: Jules Laforgue's Hamlet, ou les suites de la piété filiale (1886) and George Rodenbach's Bruges-la-Morte (1892), in relation to William Shakespeare's play. Our analysis is of a three-level character. Firstly, it is concerned with a comparison of biographies of the two 19th century authors. Secondly, it takes into its scope the plot events of both texts in question. Thirdly, it attempts to explain the linguistic transposition of poetry into prose. The final goal of this perusal is a demarcation of common points of reference between the three texts, which, in turn, is to prove Hamlet's intertextuality.
Unités défigées. Problèmes de référence
Authors: Dyoniziak Jolanta
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the problem of functioning of the delexicalized units at the level of reference. The aim of the analysis is to describe the semantic relation between the referent of the phraseological unit (E0) and a referent of its updated form in discours (El), modified either at the formal or semantic level. The analysis was done on the basis of some articles from French press (Liberation, le Figaro, Courrier International) and from Polish press (Gazeta Wyborcza, Newsweek) including delexicalized units.
«Petites difficultés » de traduction et la volonté de rester francophone en Amérique du Nord
Authors: Merkle Denise
Published: December 2024

This article outlines briefly Acadian literary history in New Brunswick from 1970 to the present and concentrates on four writers: A. Maillet (La Sagouiné), R.G. LeBlanc ("Je suis Acadien"), G. Leblanc (Moncton Mantra) and F. Daigle (Petites difficultés d'existence). Their work is marked by the portrayal of sociolinguistic conflict between minority French and dominant English in Canada. We attempt to determine the consequences of this conflict on the translation of the works into English. Each literary presentation is followed by a short analysis of the respective translated passage taken from La Sagouine (L. de Céspedes), "I am Acadian" (F. Cogswell/J.-A. Elder), Moncton Mantra (J.-A. Elder) and Life's Little Difficulties (R. Majzels).
Métaphores dans le lexique, français et polonais, de l'hydrologie
Authors: Kozar Liliana
Published: December 2024

Metaphor has been one of the most important research areas in linguistics for a few decades up to now. However, its value as a way of artistic expression in general language is indisputable, its presence in the specialised languages may be strongly questionable. How to explain the success of metaphor among the terms? What is its type and function? What is the mechanism of the meaning and the direction of metaphorisation in the language of hydrology, French and Polish? There are some questions to which the author of this paper attempted to find answers.
A framework for validating efficiency models of thermal separation columns with tray internals
Authors: Vishwakarma Vineet , Marchini Sara , Schleicher Eckhard , Schubert Markus , Hampel Uwe
Published: December 2024

Tray columns are globally used for distillation processes, and their performance must be optimized to reduce their cost and energy expenditures as well as carbon emissions. A prerequisite to achieve these targets demands a realistic account of the tray performance based on tray efficiency model application. The proof of concept of a Refined Residence Time Distribution (RRTD) model, recently proposed by the authors, is presented. The multifaceted challenges in acquiring hydrodynamic and performance data suitable for model validation are discussed in this work. In that regard, an unprecedented experimental campaign was performed in a representative large-scale air-water tray column simulator based on the application of multiplex flow profiler, new chemical system, and novel data processing schemes. Using these data and additional case studies, the capabilities of the RRTD model were demonstrated. This model successfully accounted for the impacts of varying local liquid flow characteristics and vapor flow maldistributions on the tray efficiency thereby advancing the state of the art of the tray efficiency models. This work particularly aimed at proposing a constructive framework to evaluate tray efficiency models in the future campaigns, and those campaigns will benefit from the learnings of the present work.
