Migration, Trauma, and Tweeback: Perspectives on Russian Mennonite Identity in Elina Penner’s Novel Nachtbeeren
Authors: Jany Berit
Published: January 2025

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, a group of about 2.5 million Russia Germans immigrated to Germany, benefiting from the German law that recognizes citizenship to ethnic Germans who arrived in the territory as late ethnic Germans resettlers. Including their children, this subset of Germany’s population now numbers about 3.5 million, and about 350.000 Russia Germans have a Mennonite background. Of the 500.000 Plautdietsch-speaking people worldwide, about 200,000 of them live in Germany. In her debut novel, Nachtbeeren, the author Elina Penner illuminates the everyday life of German Mennonites from the Soviet Union and the successor states. This article explores the novel’s portrayal of elements that impact the hybrid cultural identity of Mennonites from the former Soviet Union in the context of their lived experience in Germany. It contextualizes Penner’s novel within the corpus of literature written by German authors with origins in the Soviet Union and discusses the key experience of migration and the historical dimension of relocation, displacement, and exodus in the Mennonite community.

Review of: Fooling with the Amish: Amish Mafia, Entertaining Fakery, and the Evolution of Reality TV—Dirk Eitzen
Authors: Hoover Stewart M
Published: January 2025

In a way, this book takes on a rather banal and straightforward task: a scholarly account of the very curious phenomenon known as “Amish Reality Television.” This genre is an easy mark for critique by the serious-minded scholar or observer of contemporary religion. These programs, including Amish in the City, Breaking Amish, Return to Amish, and Amish Mafia (there are others) are far from authentic representations of their subject matter, and for anyone who knows much about Amish or Pennsylvania German culture, the poetic license of these productions is obvious. Amish culture and life have always been open to this kind of speculative interpretation, of course, but these programs promise more than the story long consumed by tourists along the Route 30 and 340 corridors in Lancaster.

To collect data from VR-compatible sensors to gather motion data continuously while users perform various physical exercises. The data was preprocessed using a Gaussian Filter to smooth data and reduce high-frequency noise in the data. Frequency-domain characteristics were extracted using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) as dominant frequency components of motion. IAO model ensures that the joint angles and positions during exercises are optimal and EDCNN can be employed to analyze motion capture data, assess joint kinematics, and predict strength metrics. The results indicate that upper-body kinematics can be accurately estimated with less error for joint angles, allowing for reliable real-time feedback during sessions. In a comparative analysis, the suggested method is assessed with various evaluation measures, such as F1-score (95.60%), recall (95.35%), precision (96.10%), and accuracy (95.85%). The result demonstrated the IAO-EDCNN method to estimate joint kinematics and strength metrics, which are crucial for posture accuracy and injury prevention. This innovative approach demonstrates that VR technology, paired with biomechanics can serve as an effective tool for posture training in physical education. By providing accessible, evidence-based metrics, this platform aims to enhance the quality of physical education through immersive and engaging training experiences.
The impact of Tai Chi practice based on body perception and motion control on the physical function of elderly people
Authors: Huo Yali
Published: January 2025

Tai Chi (TC) is an ancient Chinese practice characterized by slow, controlled actions and deep breathing, which has been recognized for its positive effects on physical health, particularly in enhancing balance, flexibility, and strength in older adults. This practice is believed to improve body perception and motion control, thereby supporting better physical function. This research aims to discover the effect of TC practice, based on the principles of body perception and motion control, on the physical function of elderly individuals. Two groups of 365 elderly citizens (60 years of age and older) are randomly allocated; one group participated in a 10-week TC program, while the control group continued with their regular activities. Physical function was assessed using various measures, including the Berg Balance Scale to evaluate balance, the Tinetti Gait Scale to assess gait, and the Timed Up-and-Go test to measure overall mobility. Statistical analysis, including repeated measures ANOVA, was conducted to compare pre-intervention and post-intervention scores for both groups. Additionally, to assess within-group variations in pre and post-intervention scores, paired t-tests were used. The association between TC practice and gains in physical function was examined using regression analysis. Additionally, Pearson correlation tests were used to assess the degree and direction of the relationship between changes in physical function ratings and the duration of TC practice. According to the findings, the TC group significantly performed superior than the control group in terms of balance, gait, and overall mobility. Furthermore, enhancements in body perception and motion control were linked to better physical function and a reduction in the risk of falls. In conclusion, TC practice based on body perception and motion control significantly improves the physical function of elderly individuals, supporting better balance and mobility. This intervention presents a valuable approach to fall prevention and promoting physical independence in older adults.
Innovative design of digital neural network-based biodata integration technology in cultural tourism management: Insights from cellular molecular biomechanics perspective
Authors: Zhang Qingying , Li Yiling
Published: January 2025

Based on the related feature selection algorithm, this paper builds the basic framework of the multi-strategy method of Fastest Virtual Reality (FVR) feature selection algorithm, and obtains the final collection of biometric data after feature dimensionality reduction and removal of redundant feature values. In the context of cellular molecular biomechanics, the retina sampling network’s extraction of pupil biometric features is related to the autonomic nervous system’s influence on the iris muscles. The autonomic nervous system, through neurotransmitters and intracellular signaling pathways, regulates the contraction and dilation of the iris, which is reflected in the dynamic change of the pupil diameter. The retina sampling network is established to extract the pupil biometric features in it, and Gabor filtering is applied to extract the image feature data of a small area around a specific point in the image, to obtain the dynamic change data of the visitor’s pupil diameter, and combine with the K* algorithm to evaluate the emotional state of the data segment. Emotional states can affect hormone secretion, such as cortisol and adrenaline, which in turn impact cellular metabolism and neural activity. Use the Radial Basis Function (RBF) network structure model for face biometric data fusion, and according to this method to realize the statistics of attraction foot traffic. The model is applied to the visitor management of a scenic spot, and the emotional state of visitors on holidays is generally higher, among which the highest is 4.2145 on Qingming Festival, and the average pupil diameter of the visitors on that day is also the largest, reaching 3.9615mm.The peak average of the visitor flow of the scenic spot in the morning of the test day is about 44,076 person-times, and the peak average in the afternoon is about 16,254 person-times, among which the average of the flow of the visitors on 2 May is the was the highest, reaching 38,698 person-times. Understanding the cellular molecular biomechanics behind these biometric data helps design more effective strategies to enhance tourists’ travel experience.

Authors: Huang Zhiping , Xiao Dandan , Lao Yumei , Lai Xinxin , Huang Wenyu , Zhou Decong
Published: January 2025

Background: Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and can significantly impact their overall well-being. The combination of venlafaxine and pramipexole is a standard treatment approach for depression in PD. However, the effects of incorporating psychological care into the treatment regimen remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of psychological intervention in the treatment of depression in Parkinson’s disease, using a combination of venlafaxine and pramipexole.   
Methods: The clinical data of 151 patients with both Parkinson's disease (PD) and depression, treated in Geriatric Hospital of Hainan from May 2021 to May 2023, were analyzed retrospectively. Among the 151 patients, 71 received routine nursing care and were allocated to the control group, while the remaining 80 patients received psychological nursing care based on routine nursing care and were assigned to the study group. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to evaluate the degree of depression and anxiety in both groups before and after care. The MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was employed to assess the quality of life of both groups before and after care. The efficacy and adverse reactions in both groups were also analyzed. 
Results: Before care, the HAMD and HAMA scores did not significantly differ between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, after care, both groups exhibited a significant reduction in HAMD and HAMA scores (p < 0.0001), with a more pronounced decrease observed in the study group (p < 0.0001). Prior to care, there was no significant difference in SF-36 scores between the two groups (p > 0.05). However, following care, the SF-36 scores markedly increased in both groups (p < 0.0001), with a more pronounced increase in the study group (p < 0.0001). Additionally, a significantly lower overall response rate was noted in the control group compared to the study group (p = 0.013), while no significant difference was observed in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (p = 0.273). 
Conclusion: Utilizing venlafaxine combined with pramipexole in the treatment of depression in PD, supplemented by psychological nursing care, significantly enhances therapeutic efficacy. This combined approach effectively alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients without introducing additional side effects. Hence, it emerges as a valuable clinical treatment option.

Influence of Financial Leverage, Corporate Size, and Capital Intensity on Profitability of Listed Food Industry Firms in Muscat Stock Exchange, Oman
Authors: Kollipara Vamsi Prasad , Podili Venkateswararao
Published: January 2025

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of financial leverage, size of the firm and capital intensity on the profitability of the listed firms in the food industry on Muscat Stock Exchange (MSX) in the Sultanate of Oman. The goal of this research is to try to gain some insight into the way these three variables affect the performance of these companies financially. The Financial Leverage indicates the ratio of total debt to equity, and reveals to what extent firms use debt to finance their operations. Size of the corporation, measured by total assets, refers to the level of operation and the resulting economies of scale. Capital intensity reflects the extent of investment in long-term assets, measured as the ratio of fixed assets to total assets. This research analyzes the financial statements of a sample of 11 public food industry firms listed on the MSE for a five-year span based on panel data analysis. To assess profitability, we use return on assets (ROA) as performance indicator. Financial leverage has a mixed effect on profitability, and results indicate that high leverage potentially increases financial risk and interest obligations, which reduce profitability. In contrast, more substantial enterprises generally prosper better owing to economies of scale, greater market presence, and improved resource access. The capital intensity is positively correlated with profitability, asset-heavy constitutes high levels of fixed asset investment, can enhance the production efficiency and competitive advantage. The findings provide useful guidance for food sector corporate managers and investors/analysts as to the strategic importance of financial management in achieving the optimal capital structure to maximize profit. The results can also guide policymakers to create a conducive environment for the food sector in Oman.

Published: January 2025

It is known that indefinite quantifiers constitute a major component in the current Spanish language, mainly DUE to its special uses and colloquial expressions of which they are a part. It is about studying in detail the case of the quantifier algo in two Spanish dictionaries, focusing on the semantic and grammatical aspects. We have consulted the corpora: Corpora del Español: Web/dialects to complete the study and check each use and expression mentioned in the dictionaries and to search for other current uses that are not included in both dictionaries. Therefore, we have observed a good number of missing uses and expressions, which implies that the study serves to cover these deficiencies and to solve the difficulties that may arise in the field of language teaching when dealing with the quantifier algo.

The early childhood education sector faces increasingly complex challenges in maintaining the quality of teacher performance. This study aims to identify the influence of commitment, discipline, and motivation on teacher performance and understand the role of interpersonal communication as a moderating variable in these relationships. Using survey data from early childhood teachers in Semarang City with a sample of 313 respondents, this study used SmartPLS analysis to test these relationships. The results show that commitment, discipline, and motivation significantly impact teacher performance, with discipline emerging as the strongest direct influence. Interpersonal communication significantly affected performance and moderated the relationship between the independent variables and teacher performance. The study found that communication strengthened the positive effects of discipline and motivation on performance, although it showed a negative moderating effect on the commitment-performance relationship. The findings indicate that educational institutions should develop integrated strategies that combine core competency development with effective communication practices to achieve sustainable improvements in teacher performance.
A Study on the Motivation of Lao Students to Learn Chinese in a Non-Target Language Learning Environment: A Case Study of Soochow University in Laos
Authors: Zhou Xixing
Published: January 2025

With globalization and the growing number of Chinese learners worldwide, second language acquisition has become a key focus in Chinese international education. Learning motivation is a critical factor in this process; however, empirical research on the motivation of Lao students to learn Chinese remains underexplored. This study sought to investigate the characteristics and factors of Lao students' motivation to learn Chinese through a mixed-methods approach, including questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Data were collected from 120 learners at Soochow University in Laos, with 12 participants engaging in interviews. Analysis methods included thematic analysis and analysis of variance. The findings revealed that (1) most students demonstrated beginner to intermediate proficiency, with short learning durations and vocabulary challenges; (2) statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between age and motivation (P = 0.003), while Chinese proficiency levels, gender, and other factors had no significant impact (P > 0.05); (3) Semi-structured interviews further revealed varied motivational orientations among learners in educational and professional contexts. Based on these findings, the study offers practical recommendations, including optimizing classroom instruction, enriching extracurricular activities, and enhancing cross-cultural teaching skills, to better support Chinese language learning in non-target language environments.

The enactment Regulation of the Minister of Home Affairs Number 19 of 2016 concerning Guidelines for the Management of Regional Property changed arrangements regarding the procedure for implementing grants, which must be stated in a notarial deed. This study aims to analyze and examine the strength and legal certainty of notarial deeds related to the implementation of regional asset grants to transfer regional property which is carried out with the text of regional asset grant agreements or often called Regional Grant Agreement Text. This writing uses normative legal research methods. In grant activities, the utilization of regional property in the Province of Bali has resulted in a discrepancy between one regulation and another which is directly related to the administrative procedures for the implemented grant activities. From a dogmatic juridical point of view, a grant made in the form of a private deed must be considered empty and/or non-existent, so that the Regional Grant Agreement Text as a grant agreement text signed by the local government and the recipient of the grant has a weakness because it is a private deed so that it can be considered empty or nonexistent.

قبل از عرضه‌ی یک محصول دوایی برای استفاده‌ی انسانی، برعلاوه‌ی مطالعات گسترده از جمله آزمایشات قبل از کلینیک و بعد از کلینیک برای اطمینان از بی‌خطر بودن، کیفیت بالا و مؤثر برای استفاده در جمعیت مورد نظر باید یک سلسله آزمایشات دقیق و همه‌جانبه برای انتخاب بسته‌بندی مناسب نیز اجرا گردد. طبق گزارش سازمان جهانی صحت (WHO)، سومین علت اصلی مرگ‌ومیر ناخواسته در کودکان کم‌تر از سن ۱۴ سال مسمومیت حاد می‌باشد. WHO تخمین نموده است که سالانه ۳۰۰۰ طفل در سنین مذکور حیات خویش را از دست می‌دهند که ۹۰ در صد آن را مسمومیت‌های که در خانه اتفاق می‌افتد، تشکیل می‌دهد. طبق گزارش این سازمان (WHO)، علت‌های اصلی مسمومیت حاد در کودکان در کشورهای با درآمد متوسط و پردرآمد، سمیت دوایی می‌باشد. از این‌رو بسته‌بندی مقاوم در برابر اطفال برای به حداقل رساندن خطر دست‌یابی اطفال به ادویه و یکی از عمده‌ترین موارد ثبت‌شده در جلوگیری از مسمومیت ناخواسته نزد اطفال بوده است.
