Community Health Needs Assessment in Urban Communities in Kigali City In Rwanda: A Cluster-Randomized Trial
Authors: Placide MUTABAZI , Jean Pierre NIYITEGEKA , Fidele NIZEYIMANA
Published: January 2023

Introduction
Reporting of suspected or confirmed communicable diseases is paramount. Although physicians have primary responsibility for reporting, school nurses, laboratory directors, infection control practitioners, daycare center directors, health care facilities, state institutions and any other individuals providing health care services are also required to report communicable disease. Therefore, community health needs assessment in urban communities remains an essential instrument for the rapid and accurate dissemination of epidemiological information on cases and outbreaks of diseases under the national health regulations and other communicable diseases of public health importance, including emerging or re-emerging infections.

Purpose of the Study
Todescribe relevant medical needs of townspeople so that treatment plans can be developed accordingly.

Methods
The Study was a cross-sectional with qualitative approach. In-depth interviews and focus group interviews was used as research technique. Data was categorized to look for emerging themes then further distilled to identify any abstract themes that could be understood holistically.

Results
Urban decision-makers need to advocate the problem of human resources in public health facilities and the mutual health insurance to revise its insurance policy to allow their clients to be received even in private clinics. Dental services was wished to be available in public health centers. Study participants suggested that new useful information could be posted in private public premises rather than to be in public institutions only.

Conclusion
The patient waiting time, dental services in health centers, and the way of dissemination new health information, mutual health insurance and insufficient human resources are the major concerns of townspeople that they wish improvement.
Devising and Disclosing an Autobiographical Self
Authors: McCaskie Tom
Published: January 2023

Scholarship should attend to the imperative that African identities need to be particularized and explored, and not simply generalized and proclaimed. Thus, this article interrogates the case of the autobiographical self-portrait recently authored and published by Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (born 1948), widow of the late J. J. Rawlings (died 2020; Ghanaian Head of State, 1979 and 1981–2001). Nana Konadu strongly identified herself with the cause of Ghanaian women in a broad sense, and became well-known as a formidable sociopolitical actor in her own right. Her autobiographical narrative only covers the period up to 1979, but her treatment of her antecedents, her birth and her young self opens a revelatory window into her own perspective on her personal formation and attitudes, and particularly with reference to her patrilineal ancestry among the Asante of central Ghana. In this article I take the “ideological I” that engineered her text, and situate it within a deep and precise reading of Asante norms and expectations taken in conjunction with the lived historical circumstances that acted upon these in a variety of ways and with a range of consequences. The wider argument being made here is that only deep interaction with and sustained reflection upon the received norms and actual practices of any historical society, African and otherwise, can furnish forth the nuanced contexts necessary to the location and understanding of the “ideological I” that speaks from within it.
The experiences of newly qualified teachers in 2020 and what we can learn for future cohorts
Authors: Quickfall Aimee , Wood Philip , Clarke Emma
Published: January 2023

Those training to become teachers in England during the 2019/20 academic year were severely impacted by the first national lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with many missing school placements, giving them less time to build experience and confidence before becoming newly qualified teachers (NQTs). Their first year of teaching was also severely impacted by the pandemic. As part of a British Academy-funded project, we collected data from 2020/1 NQTs in England through their first year of teaching. This article focuses on the qualitative data from seven participants, utilising online interviews to understand the challenges and opportunities they faced within the sector during the pandemic. Our findings, while drawing on small-scale data, provide insights into how schools and training providers can support trainees in healthier times, and include the importance of relationships within school, support given by school leaders and the need to acknowledge the challenges of beginning a professional career. These findings may also be useful in future disruptive events for early teacher education.
Dialectic of Religion and National Identity in North Sulawesi Jewish Communities in The Perspective of Cross-Cultural and Religious Psychology
Authors: Aryani Sekar Ayu
Published: January 2023

This study aims to explore how theology and culture influence the national attitude and behavior of Jews in North Sulawesi. The question arises because of Judaism teaching on Promised Land, an always-longed place by the Jews of the diaspora country. The qualitative study employs purposive sampling by using the Cross-Cultural and Religious Psychology approach. It relied on interviews from Jews prominent figures and its followers in North Sulawesi and was complemented by the non-Jews religious leader, documents, and literature. Data analysis consists of data reduction, exploration, and verification. The last step was data contextualization by combining field and library research data. The study found that Jews in North Sulawesi harbored a longing for the Promised Land, but it did not prevent the growth of their nationalism spirit and loyalty to the Republic of Indonesia. Furthermore, their firm nationalism to Indonesia, and the objective approach to the Promised Land proofing their loyalty to the Torah. This research also discovered, behind the exclusive impression of Jews, their teachings there had a very pluralist and inclusive vision. The study concludes, the assumption that Jews in North Sulawesi will face loyalty problem to the Republic of Indonesia appear unproven, because they can interpret their faith flexibly and rationally.  [Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana teologi dan budaya mempengaruhi sikap dan perilaku nasionalisme orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara. Pertanyaan itu muncul karena Yudaisme memiliki ajaran tentang Tanah Perjanjian, tempat yang selalu dinanti oleh orang-orang Yahudi di negara diaspora. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan purposive sampling dengan menggunakan pendekatan Psikologi Lintas Budaya dan Agama. Pengumpulan data mengutamakan wawancara dari tokoh-tokoh Yahudi dan pengikutnya di Sulawesi Utara dan para tokoh agama non-Yahudi, kemudian dilengkapi dengan dokumen, dan studi literatur. Analisis data terdiri dari reduksi data, eksplorasi, dan verifikasi. Langkah terakhir adalah kontekstualisasi data dengan menggabungkan data penelitian lapangan dan perpustakaan. Studi ini menemukan bahwa orang-orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara menyimpan kerinduan akan Tanah Perjanjian, tetapi itu tidak menghalangi pertumbuhan semangat nasionalisme dan kesetiaan mereka kepada Republik Indonesia. Lebih jauh lagi, nasionalisme mereka yang kuat terhadap Indonesia, dan pendekatan objektif terhadap Tanah Perjanjian membuktikan kesetiaan mereka kepada Taurat. Penelitian ini juga menemukan, di balik kesan eksklusif orang Yahudi, ajaran mereka di sana memiliki visi yang sangat pluralis dan inklusif. Studi ini menyimpulkan, anggapan bahwa orang Yahudi di Sulawesi Utara akan menghadapi masalah kesetiaan kepada Republik Indonesia tampaknya tidak terbukti, karena mereka dapat menafsirkan iman mereka secara fleksibel dan rasional.]
Beyond Syncretism: Evidence of the Vernacularization of Islamic Theological Terms in Javanese Literature in the 19th Century
Authors: Zuhri Z
Published: January 2023

Scholars have long debated whether the relationship between Islam and Javanese culture should be considered syncretism or inculturation. This article analyzes Javanese literature to discuss post-syncretism in Islamic studies. It argues that Javanese literature exemplifies the vernacularization of Islamic theology into Javanese language and discourse. It describes how Islamic theology was used in eight Javanese texts at different historical points in the 19th Century. The leading Islamic theological terms (God, angels, Al-Qur’an, Prophet, and the Last Day) have consistent meanings in the Javanese text. Differences were only found in spelling, pronunciation, and written script that converted Arabic to Javanese and Pegon. Vernacularization functions as a tool for transmitting knowledge while the substance, meaning, and content remain unchanged. Therefore, there is no evidence of syncretism in using these terms. Syncretism may have operated in Javanese culture (e.g., Javanese Islamic rituals), but it does not appear that syncretism has penetrated the realm of theology. Accordingly, future studies on local Islam should explore discursive traditions and how knowledge has been generated alongside the process of Islamization.[Para sarjana telah berdebat lama apakah hubungan Islam dan budaya Jawa, sebaiknya berupa sinkretisme atau inkulturasi. Artikel ini membahas literatur Jawa untuk mendiskusikan post-sinkretisme dalam kajian Islam. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa literatur Jawa mencerminkan penyebaran teologi Islam melalui bahasa Jawa dan wacananya. Artikel ini menunjukkan teologi Islam dalam enam teks Jawa dengan penekanan historis yang berbeda pada abad 19. Istilah teologi penting seperti, Allah, malaikat, al-Qur’an, nabi dan kiamat, mempunyai makna yang tetap dalam teks Jawa. Perbedaan yang muncul hanya ejaan, pengucapan dan penulisan saat dialihkan dari bahasa Arab ke bahasa Jawa dan aksara pegon. Pribumisasi berfungsi sebagai alat transmisi pengetahuan, sedangkan substansi, makna dan kandungannya tidak berubah. Oleh karena itu tidak ada sinkretisme yang digunakan dalam pribumisasi ini. Sinkretisme mungkin berlangsung di wilayah budaya, tetapi tidak dalam konteks teologi. Dengan demikian, kajian ke depan tentang Islam lokal mengarah pada diskursif tradisi dan bagaimana pengetahuan berkembang seiring dengan proses islamisasi.]
Khadijah’s Image in 19th Century Orientalism
Authors: Sbaihat Ahlam
Published: January 2023

Khadijah, Prophet Muhammad’s first wife, has remained a victim in Latin and vernacular literature in the West until the 18th century. According to texts in Latin and some vernacular languages written and impacted more by the Church mindset, Muhammad is a manipulator man who used Khadijah to gain wealth and power through marriage. However, this image has changed decisively as a result to the new historical approach of the French Historical Scholar School followed at the beginning of the 19th century. The present study investigates the image of Khadijah in French texts based on the image studies analysis. Particularly, forty-nine French texts published in the 19th century were studied and analyzed. The texts include books, dictionaries, encyclopedias, journals of literature and science. The results show that the image of Khadijah has changed drastically. Khadijah, the rich widow made a major contribution to the founding of the new creed mentality of Islam. Khadijah is no longer the persecuted victim of Muhammad; but an intelligent, wise, supporter and loving wife. Moreover, another analysis of these texts shows that since the 18th century, the characters of Muhammad and Khadijah were used in French fantasia that imitates the Arabian Nights.[Istri pertama Nabi Muhammad, Khadijah, masih diceritakan sebagai obyek penderita dalam literatur bahasa Latin dan Eropa hingga abad 18. Berdasarkan teks-teks latin dan yang dipengaruhi oleh mindset gereja, Muhammad merupakan orang yang memanfaatkan perkawinannya dengan Khadijah untuk meraih kemakmuran dan pengaruh politik. Namun gambaran itu perlahan memudar seiring dengan berkembangnya pendekatan sejarah baru para sejarahwan Prancis dan diikuti oleh sarjana lainnya hingga awal abad 19. Pada tulisan ini akan mengkaji gambaran Khadijah dalam teks-teks berbahasa Prancis. Setidaknya ada 49 tulisan yang akan dibahas dan dianalisis termasuk diantaranya, buku, kamus, ensiklopedia, artikel jurnal sastra dan sains. Kesimpulannya menunjukkan bahwa gambaran tentang Khadijah berubah drastis, dia sebagai janda kaya telah memberikan kontribusi besar dalam meletakkan mentalitas baru umat Islam. Khadijah bukanlah obyek penderita, tapi seorang yang pandai, bijak, pendukung utama dan istri yang mencintai suaminya, Muhammad. Selain itu, karakter Muhammad dan Khadijah hingga abad 18 digunakan sebagai fantasi yang disejajarkan dengan kisah Seribu Satu Malam.]

Published: January 2023

This study is about multicultural education and religious tolerance in the midst of increasing religious intolerance in the educational environment. This study  analyses elementary school teachers’ understanding of multicultural education and its implementation. The research method is a case study in the city of Yogyakarta, chosen because it is both know as a city of education and because this city has declared it a tolerant city. The results showed that the understanding of elementary school teachers’ multicultural education is generally essentialist, but some were constructivist or anti-essentialist.  The attitudes and actions of elementary school teachers, both consciously and unconsciously, may also include religious intolerance. One of the factors that distinguishes the content of religious tolerance and intolerance among elementary school teachers is their attitudes and actions towards local cultural principles. The higher the appreciation of local culture, the greater amount of religious tolerance. Further, when appreciation of local cultural traditions is low, it is more likely that a teacher is intolerant of other religions.  [Tulisan ini membahas pendidikan multikultural dan toleransi beragama ditengah meningkatnya intoleransi di lingkungan pendidikan. Fokus tulisan ini adalah pemahaman guru sekolah dasar mengenai pendidikan multikultural dan implementasinya dengan studi kasus di kota Yogyakarta, karena kota ini adalah kota pendidikan dan mendeklarasikan sebagai kota toleran. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman guru sekolah dasar mengenai pendidikan multikultur cenderung esensialis, tapi beberapa yang lain anti esensialis atau konstruktif. Sikap dan perilaku mereka baik sadar atau tidak sadar, mengandung kecenderungan intoleransi. Salah satu faktor yang membedakan muatan toleransi dan intoleransi diantara guru tersebut adalah sikap dan perilaku pada prinsip budaya lokal. Apresiasi tinggi pada budaya lokal adalah terbesar dalam toleransi beragama. Lebih lanjut, jika apresiasi pada tradisi lokal rendah, ini berarti guru tersebut cenderung intoleran pada agama lain.]

Karnoprawna ochrona symboli państwowych w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej.
Authors: Byndiu Olga
Published: January 2023

Polskie symbole państwowe są ważnym elementem państwowości, dlatego zawsze wymagały odpowiedniej ochrony prawnej. Ponad stuletnia historia funkcjonowania regulacji prawnej pozwala na analizę tej ogromnej spuścizny, a także zgłębienie przez czytelnika ogromnego dorobku prawa, który został zgromadzony w minionych okresach dziejowych. W tym celu podjęto analizę aktów prawnych, judykatury przede wszystkim Sądu Najwyższego oraz doktryny od 1918 do 1939 r. W pierwszej części czytelnik ma możliwość zapoznania się z regulacją prawną ochrony symboli państwowych od powstania nowego państwa polskiego i do rozpoczęcia II wojny światowej. W tej części omówiono kodeksy karne byłych państw zaborczych Niemiec i Rosji, obowiązujące w Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej przejściowo do czasu uchwalenia własnego kodeksu w 1932 r. Dalej analizie poddano ustawę z dnia 1 sierpnia 1919 r. o godle i barwach Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej oraz rozporządzenie Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 13 grudnia 1927 r. o godle i barwach państwowych oraz o insygniach, sztandarach i pieczęciach. Następnie dość szczegółowo ukazano proces kodyfikacji przyszłego pierwszego Kodeksu karnego RP, a także regulacji prawnej dotyczącej symboli państwowych przyjętej ostatecznie w 1932 r. Uzupełnieniem analizy jest przytoczenie ówczesnego orzecznictwa Sądu Najwyższego, które w wielu przypadkach zawiera wykładnię regulacji prawnej dotyczącej wspomnianego obszaru tematycznego. Obraz uzupełnia doktryna prawnicza, w tym opinie wybitnych ówczesnych prawników, praktyków i komentatorów, a także autorów kodeksu, takich jak J. Makarewicz, W. Makowski, A. Mogilnicki, E. Rappaport i in.
John Maynard Keynes – z perspektywy polityczno-prawnej
Authors: Wojciechowski Karol
Published: January 2023

John Maynard Keynes był nie tylko jednym z najbardziej znaczących ekonomistów ostatnich stu lat, ale odegrał też ogromną rolę w ukształtowaniu współczesnych poglądów na ustrój i funkcjonowanie państwa - zwłaszcza w USA i Wielkiej Brytanii. Koncepcje Keynesa wpłynęły w szczególności na rozwój wielu regulacji z zakresu prawa finansowego i prawa publicznego gospodarczego, odnoszących się m.in. do rynku finansowego, bankowości centralnej, zamówień publicznych czy opodatkowania dochodowego. Myśl samego Keynesa nie ograniczała się jednak tylko do makroekonomii – obejmowała również pola filozofii, politologii, logiki, a nawet literaturoznawstwa. Jego poglądy kształtowały się z jednej strony jako rezultat pracy naukowej i akademickiej, z drugiej zaś miały na nią wpływ jego doświadczenia w administracji brytyjskiej i w świecie biznesu. Celem artykułu jest kompleksowe spojrzenie na rozwój idei polityczno-prawnych Keynesa (zawartych przede wszystkim w jego pismach) oraz ich wpływu na tworzone przez niego koncepcje makroekonomiczne − a tym samym na niemałą część doktrynalnych podstaw współczesnej prawnej ingerencji państwa w gospodarkę.

Çalışmanın amacı, 2013-2021 yılları arası 108 aylık veri kullanarak reel döviz kurundaki değişimlerin Türkiye ekonomisinin sektörel ve faktör donatımı temelindeki ihracatına etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda özellikle ülke ekonomisinin dış ticaretindeki faktör yoğunlukları hesaplanmış, elde edilen değerler ekseninde kur değişimleri ile sektörel ve faktör yoğunlukları ihracatı ilişkisi simetrik ve asimetrik nedensellik test yöntemleriyle sınanmaktadır. Simetrik nedensellik testi sonucuna göre, döviz kuru ile yatırım malları, ara malları, tüketim malları ve emek yoğun malların ihracatı arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi saptanmışken, kolay taklit edilebilen Ar-Ge bazlı mal ihracatına doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi saptanmıştır. Asimetrik nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre ise, döviz kurundaki pozitif şoklardan tüketim malları ihracatının negatif şoklarına olmak üzere hammadde yoğun mal ihracatı, emek yoğun mal ihracatı, sermaye yoğun mal ihracatı ve kolay taklit edilen Ar-Ge bazlı mal ihracatının pozitif şoklarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan, döviz kurundaki negatif şoklardan tüketim mallarının negatif ve pozitif şoklarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar çerçevesinde izlenen yeni dış ticaret politikası (rekabetçi kur) ile ülke ekonomisinin yüksek katma değerli sanayileşme stratejisi arasındaki bağlantı değerlendirilmiştir.

Effect of after‐school physical activity on body composition in primary school children: The Slovak “PAD” project
Authors: Alberty Roman , Čillík Ivan
Published: January 2023

Physical activity is associated with many physical and mental health benefits. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 24‐month after‐school physical activity intervention on body composition in normal‐weight children. Participating students (6–7 years of age at baseline) were divided by reason of their parental preference to intervention and control groups. Children in the intervention group (n = 20; 10 boys and 10 girls) followed an aerobic training program (two 60‐min sessions per week), whereas children in the control group (n = 20; 10 boys and 10 girls) participated in the usual practice. Body composition characteristics were repeatedly measured by means of bioelectrical impedance method. At 2 years, finally, intervention boys had a smaller rise in BMI (mean difference, MD: −0.97 kg/m2, p < 0.05), BMI z‐score (−0.44, p < 0.09), body fat % (BF%) (−6.47%, p < 0.01), and fat mass index (FMI) (−1.32 kg/m2, p < 0.001) than controls. In girls, however, the intervention program induced no significant differences (p > 0.9) in the measured variables compared to controls at the final follow‐up (MD: −0.04 kg/m2 for BMI and −0.01 for BMI z‐score). Changes in BF% and FMI in a positive direction occurred at 18 months (MD: −3.38%, p < 0.05 and −0.99 kg/m2, p < 0.01, respectively), but did not persist over time (p > 0.07). In addition, no significant changes (p > 0.07) in the fat‐free mass index were associated with the physical activity intervention in either boys or girls. In conclusion, compared to the controls, a long‐term physical activity intervention in boys was associated with a significantly smaller rise in BMI and improvement of body composition by reducing both BF % and FMI. In girls, however, this intervention did not result in any statistically significant changes in body composition variables.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) can elicit acute and long‐term effects on the myocardium among survivors, yet effects among otherwise healthy young adults remains unclear. Young adults with mild symptoms of SARS‐CoV‐2 (8M/8F, age: 21 ± 1 years, BMI: 23.5 ± 3.1 kg·m−2) underwent monthly transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and testing of circulating cardiac troponin‐I for months 1–6 (M1–M6) following a positive polymerase chain reaction test to better understand the acute effects and post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 on cardiac structure and function. Left heart structure and ejection fraction were unaltered from M1–M6 (p > 0.05). While most parameters of septal and lateral wall velocities, mitral and tricuspid valve, and pulmonary vein (PV) were unaltered from M1–M6 (p > 0.05), lateral wall s′ wave velocity increased (M1: 0.113 ± 0.019 m·s−1, M6: 0.135 ± 0.022 m·s−1, p = 0.013); PV S wave velocity increased (M1: 0.596 ± 0.099 m·s−1, M6: 0.824 ± 0.118 m·s−1, p < 0.001); the difference between PV A wave and mitral valve (MV) A wave durations decreased (M1: 39.139 ± 43.715 ms, M6: 18.037 ± 7.227 ms, p = 0.002); the ratio of PV A duration to MV A duration increased (M1: 0.844 ± 0.205, M6: 1.013 ± 0.132, p = 0.013); and cardiac troponin‐I levels decreased (M1: 0.38 ± 0.20 ng·ml−1, M3: 0.28 ± 0.34 ng·ml−1, M6: 0.29 ± 0.16 ng·ml−1; p = 0.002) over time. While young adults with mild symptoms of SARS‐CoV‐2 lacked changes to cardiac structure, the subclinical improvements to cardiac function and reduced inflammatory marker of cardiac troponin‐I over 6 months following SARS‐CoV‐2 infection provide physiologic guidance to post‐acute sequelae and recovery from SARS‐CoV‐2 and its variants using conventional TTE.
Relative contribution of neuromuscular activation, muscle size, and muscle quality to maximum strength output of the thigh muscles in young individuals
Authors: Yoshiko Akito , Watanabe Kohei , Akima Hiroshi
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maximal muscle strength and neuromuscular activation, muscle size, and quality of quadriceps (QF) and hamstring muscles (HM). The study included 24 young men and women. The neuromuscular activation parameter was recorded using a single‐channel surface electromyography (EMG) with the root mean square (RMS) during maximal isometric knee extension and flexion from four muscles: rectus femoris and vastus lateralis for QF; biceps femoris and semitendinosus for HM. In addition, the peak torque was measured during the same session. B‐mode ultrasonographic transverse images were obtained from the anterior, lateral, and posterior thighs. Furthermore, we calculated the muscle thickness (MT) and echo intensity (EI) of the four muscles as indicators of muscle size and quality. The averaged MT, EI, and absolute RMS of QF were calculated by averaging the values of the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis, and that of HM was calculated by averaging the values of the biceps femoris and semitendinosus. The knee extension peak torque was correlated with EI (r = −0.61, P < 0.01) and RMS (r = 0.53, P < 0.01) in the QF. In contrast, the knee flexion peak torque was correlated with RMS (r = 0.53, P < 0.05) but not with MT and EI in HM. In addition, EI and RMS in QF, and RMS in HM were selected as the major determinants of muscle strength in the stepwise regression analysis. These results suggest that muscle strength is moderately associated with different factors related to the thigh muscles in young individuals.
Modelling of a piezoelectric beam with a full-bridge rectifier under arbitrary excitation: experimental validation
Authors: Febbo Mariano , Machado Sebastian P. , Oliva Alejandro , Ortiz Matias , Pereyra Nicolas
Published: January 2023

This paper presents a set of nonlinear differential equations to model a piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) system with a full-bridge waveform rectifier (FWR) under arbitrary base excitations. The PEH comprises a piezoelectric element modeled as a current source with a capacitor in parallel, which are connected with an inductor and a resistor. The inductor is proposed to smooth the current generated by the piezoelectric element under rapid mechanical variations and improve the convergence of the set of differential equations. The equations are obtained using piecewise linear modelling for the diodes. The main advantage of this piecewise linear modelling is considering different bias points to represent the nonlinear characteristics of real diodes. Numerical simulations are employed to obtain the optimum inductor value through a comparison with an analytical result, validated with experimental tests. A real case of random acceleration in a bike is applied to the PEH-FWR to evaluate the performance of the proposed equations. They are validated with experiments, a LTspice formulation and a numerical previous one. The proposed formulation can estimate the output DC voltage and energy for a large range of excitation frequencies, including resonant and nonresonant conditions and arbitrary or harmonically externally excited PEHs with FWR.

This study aimed to analyze the time under tension (TUT) behavior in the bench press exercise performance in recreationally trained individuals. A systematic review was performed based on the PRISMA recommendations and registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022301830). MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and Lilacs (BVS) databases were consulted with the terms (resistance training [Title/Abstract]) OR (strength training [Title/Abstract]) AND (time under tension [Title/Abstract]). Cohort studies that analyzed the TUT in the bench press exercise in individuals with experience in resistance training were included. We used the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool to analyze the methodological quality of the included studies. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The total number of participants was 215 individuals (179 men and 36 women). TUT was analyzed from the manipulation of each study variable. The behavior of the TUT in the bench press exercise varies according to the training protocol and method used. The TUT and the number of repetitions can vary to quantify the training volume.
A Postcolonial MIR?
Authors: Clark Emily Hansell
Published: January 2023

The field of music information retrieval (MIR) offers tools for the analysis of music and sound, for example in archives of historical recordings; but it has also been widely critiqued for bias toward Western music and Western epistemologies. There seems to be a gap, or even an irresolvable friction, between computer science-based MIR tools, problems, and methodologies, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, humanities-based research in music and media that examines sound from critical and postcolonial perspectives. This essay draws from sound studies and critical technology studies to propose that this is an opportune moment for interdisciplinary collaborations between humanities scholars and technologists to enhance critical analyses of music and sound. Key to such collaborations would be a consideration of ontological differences between the two approaches, such as divergent understandings of the fundamental concepts of music, genre, and difference. The essay takes several examples from the author’s research into sound and Dutch colonialism at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision media archive in order to propose some examples of how MIR’s technological tools could potentially enhance critical humanities-driven analyses of sound, perception, and colonial difference. More broadly, the essay argues, the divergences and even tensions between disciplines can be productive for scholarly reflexivity, postcolonial or anticolonial scholarship, and applications of technological tools toward social justice goals.
Theology and Mathematics in Plato’s Later Ethics
Authors: Bartninkas Vilius
Published: January 2023

In Plato’s later ethics, the key challenge to one’s personal progress is unorderly thoughts and motions of soul. This disorder should be corrected by recognising and repeating the orderly thoughts and motions of cosmic gods. This paper examines the theoretical assumptions of Plato’s later ethics. A closer analysis of the Timaeus reveals a peculiar conception of mathematics, according to which numbers and their relations not only reveal facts about the reality, but also express values and ideals. By learning mathematics human beings come to know the everyday ethical life of cosmic gods and become like them.
Loci as Subject of Derision: Between Cicero’s Rhetorical Theory and Practice
Authors: Kučinskienė Audronė
Published: January 2023

There is no doubt that commonplaces, so called topoi, or loci, played a very important role both in the ancient rhetorical theory and in practice. They conform to the main part of invention in the rhetorical treatises, such as Rhetorica ad Herennium, Cicero’s De Inventione, Topica etc., and they enable an orator to develop his argument in any desirable direction (in utramque partem), and sometimes become the main tool of rhetorical strategy. In his Orator, Cicero claims, that an accomplished speaker, whom he tries to delineate as an ideal, will be perfectly familiar with commonplaces and be able to treat them critically and manipulate according to his purposes. In this paper, on the ground Cicero’s Verrine speeches, I shall analyze how the orator predicts his opponents’ topoi and presents them in a different light, and by criticizing or even by mocking them, he diminishes them in order to strengthen his own arguments. In some cases, e.g. in the Fifth Book of the Actio secunda in Verrem (Verr. 2.5), this becomes the main strategy of speech, and corresponds to the methods delineated in the Orator 49.
Lithuania and Italy Economic Relations in the Interwar Period: Changes and Tendencies
Authors: Užusėnaitė Rugilė
Published: January 2023

The aim of this article is to study the economic cooperation between Lithuania and Italy during the interwar period and to see the peculiarities of the relations under discussion. The economic cooperation of the countries in question is understood here as the exchange of various goods and products – export and import data are analysed. The passivity of Lithuania and Italy economic cooperation ended at an early stage by the Lithuanian – Italian trade agreement signed in 1927, which guaranteed the application of the most favourable trade. Thanks to this agreement Lithuania and Italy export and import with certain exceptions had an upward trend until 1935. On the other hand, Lithuania had a negative trade balance with Italy until 1939 and the trade turnover of both countries had never reached more than 3 percent of Lithuania’s total foreign trade turnover. Further trade prospects were interrupted by the Second World War.

Published: January 2023

This work presents the theoretical investigation of the superconducting and thermodynamic properties of the two-band model high-temperature iron-based superconductor Ba1-xNaxFe2As2. By developing a model Hamiltonian and by employing the well-knownvdouble-time temperature-dependent Green’s function formalism, we have computed the superconducting orderbparameters for the electron and hole intra- and inter-band transitions, superconducting transition temperature, densitiesbof states, and condensation energies. Furthermore, the electronic specific heat and the entropy for electron and hole intra-band transitions have been determined. By using appropriate experimental data and some credible approximations of the parameters in the computed expressions, we have found the phase diagrams of superconducting order parameters versus the temperature, superconducting critical temperature versus the inter-band interaction potential, temperature dependences of the electronic specific heat and entropy for electron and hole intra-band transitions, and densities of states for the electron and hole intra-band transitions as functions of the excitation energy at different values of the temperature. Finally, the phase diagrams of the condensation energy versus the temperature, inter-band pairing potential at T = 0 K versus the condensation energy, and condensation energy versus the superconducting transition temperature (TC) have been drawn. In some of the phase diagrams, the comparison between theoretical and experimental values has been made. The results are in a good agreement with previous findings.
Fabrication and Evaluation of Optical Characteristics of (PVA-MnO2–ZrO2) Nanocomposites for Nanodevices in Optics and Photonics

Published: January 2023

We study the impact of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles on optical properties of (PVA) polymer. Several samples were produced with different weight ratios of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles. To prepare the selected samples, the casting method is used. To record the absorption spectrum, wavelengths of 200–1100 nm are applied. We have determined the absorption coefficient, energy gap for indirect transitions (forbidden and allowed), optical constants (such as the dielectric constant with its imaginary and real parts, refractive index, and attenuation coefficient), and optical conductivity. The results indicate that there is a proportional relationship between the optical constants and the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles, which means that an increase of the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles leads to an increase of the optical constants, while the transmission decreases. Additionally, the optical energy gap decreases from 4.83 eV to 3.4 eV and from 4.65 eV to 3.28 eV with increasing the concentration of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles for allowed and forbidden indirect transitions, respectively. These results can be considered as key ones for the use of (PVA-MnO2–ZrO2) nanocomposites in various fields such as optoelectronics and photonics.

Revisiting Genesis: Living as Misspelling
Authors: Băcăran Mihai
Published: January 2023

This paper revisits the online documentation of Eduardo Kac’s work Genesis (1999) in order to address the problematic of embodiment as it emerges in the process of specta(c)torship afforded by this work. The central piece of Genesis consisted in a genetically modified bacteria which incorporated an artist-designed synthetic gene created by translating into DNA base pairs a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis. The reading that I propose problematizes the meaning of the human body in view of the complex entanglement of living and technological systems that appears in this work. Relying on elements from the archival theory formulated by Jacques Derrida, this paper reads Genesis as an attempt to playfully undo the origin (the human master of nature, and the associated duality between culture and nature) form inside the very history that this origin grounds, by folding into one another the cultural archive of the written biblical fragment, the technological archive that makes the work possible, and the DNA as an archive of chemical sequences that constitutes the fundament of life. The article also raises the question of how to address environmental crisis from a perspective that does not rely on the figure of the human and on the nature/culture divide.
