Published: January 2025

Background

Mental health plays a key role across the cancer care continuum, from prognosis and active treatment to survivorship and palliative care. Digital health technologies offer an appealing, cost-effective tool to address psychological needs.

Objective

This umbrella review aims to summarize and evaluate the available evidence on the efficacy of digital health interventions for improving mental health and psychosocial outcomes for populations with cancer.

Methods

Literature searches were conducted in Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from their inception to February 4, 2024. Systematic reviews (with or without meta-analysis) investigating the efficacy of digital health interventions for psychosocial variables in patients with cancer were included. Quality was assessed using the Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews-2 tool.

Results

In total, 78 systematic reviews were included in this review. Among diverse delivery modalities and types of digital interventions, websites and smartphone apps were the most commonly used. Depression was the most frequently addressed, followed by quality of life, anxiety, fatigue, and distress. The qualities of the reviews ranged from critically low to high. Generally, despite great heterogeneity in the strength and credibility of the evidence, digital health interventions were shown to be effective for mental health in patients with cancer.

Conclusions

Taken together, digital health interventions show benefits for patients with cancer in improving mental health. Various gaps were identified, such as little research specifically focusing on older adult patients with cancer, a scarcity of reporting high-precision emotion management, and insufficient attention to other certain mood indicators. Further exploration of studies with standardized and rigorous approaches is required to inform practice.

Machine Learning for the Early Prediction of Delayed Cerebral Ischemia in Patients With Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Zhang Haofuzi , Zou Peng , Luo Peng , Jiang Xiaofan
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a primary contributor to death after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), with significant incidence. Therefore, early determination of the risk of DCI is an urgent need. Machine learning (ML) has received much attention in clinical practice. Recently, some studies have attempted to apply ML models for early noninvasive prediction of DCI. However, systematic evidence for its predictive accuracy is still lacking.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to synthesize the prediction accuracy of ML models for DCI to provide evidence for the development or updating of intelligent detection tools.

METHODS

PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched up to May 18, 2023. The risk of bias in the included studies was assessed using PROBAST (Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool). During the analysis, we discussed the performance of different models in the training and validation sets.

RESULTS

We finally included 48 studies containing 16,294 patients with SAH and 71 ML models with logistic regression as the main model type. In the training set, the pooled concordance index (C index), sensitivity, and specificity of all the models were 0.786 (95% CI 0.737-0.835), 0.77 (95% CI 0.69-0.84), and 0.83 (95% CI 0.75-0.89), respectively, while those of the logistic regression models were 0.770 (95% CI 0.724-0.817), 0.75 (95% CI 0.67-0.82), and 0.71 (95% CI 0.63-0.78), respectively. In the validation set, the pooled C index, sensitivity, and specificity of all the models were 0.767 (95% CI 0.741-0.793), 0.66 (95% CI 0.53-0.77), and 0.78 (95% CI 0.71-0.84), respectively, while those of the logistic regression models were 0.757 (95% CI 0.715-0.800), 0.59 (95% CI 0.57-0.80), and 0.80 (95% CI 0.71-0.87), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

ML models appear to have relatively desirable power for early noninvasive prediction of DCI after SAH. However, enhancing the prediction sensitivity of these models is challenging. Therefore, efficient, noninvasive, or minimally invasive low-cost predictors should be further explored in future studies to improve the prediction accuracy of ML models.

Active monitoring of adverse drug events in community-based patients with chronic disease based on an interactive voice response system: Usability Study (Preprint)
Authors: Liao Meng-Fan , Zhong Li-Ling , Liu Ying , Wu Zhi-Quan , Xu Yan , Liu Ying , Liu Xu-Dong , Chen Qing-Song
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND

Patients with chronic non-communicable diseases require long-term adherence to medication, but this can carry a high risk of adverse drug events (ADEs). ADE monitoring relies mainly on passive methods, so we tested the viability of using an interactive voice response system (IVRS).

OBJECTIVE

Investigate the effectiveness of an IVRS in collecting ADE data from patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus (DM).

METHODS

Eligible patients with hypertension or DM were recruited from two communities to participate in a survey, provide baseline data, and complete a follow-up IVRS survey after 3 months, during which they were queried about medication-related discomfort. Community physicians and pharmacists collected information and assessed ADEs in patients reporting symptoms. We also examined whether the prevalence of call success, survey participation, and identification accuracy differed according to demographic characteristics.

RESULTS

We enrolled 1057 patients. The IVRS reached 759 (71.81%) of them. Of these, 477 (45.13% of enrolled, 62.85% of contacted) participated in the survey. Higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores, education levels, and health insurance were associated with a higher prevalence of participation. Complete participation in the survey was 310 (40.84% of enrolled, 64.99% of participants), but lower in patients with both hypertension and DM. The accuracy of identification by the IVRS was 94.61%, but decreased with the age of the patient. Among 110 patients reporting 150 symptoms, 63 were deemed medication-related (primarily systemic and cardiovascular damage).

CONCLUSIONS

It is feasible to use an IVRS for active monitoring of ADEs in patients with hypertension or DM. The advantages of an IVRS are its convenience and efficiency in capturing important information, which enhances the efficiency of ADE monitoring.

Software-Defined Networking Challenges and Research Opportunities for Future Interest
Authors: Katragadda Santhosh
Published: January 2025

Software Defined Network (SDN) has become one of the most preferred solutions for the management of large-scale
complex networks. The network policies in the large-scale network are difficult to embed on entire network devices
simultaneously, whereas in SDN these policies can be embedded on the top of the network. The SDN network is divided into two
parts which are vertically integrated to form the entire network. Currently many aspects of the classical architecture of the
Internet are etched in stone – a so-called ossification of the Internet – which has led to major obstacles in IPv6 deployment and
difficulty in using IP multicast services. Yet, there exist many reasons to extend the Internet, e.g., for improving intra-domain
and inter- domain routing for high availability of the network, providing end-to-end connectivity for users, and allowing
dynamic management of network resources for new applications, such as data center, cloud computing, and network
virtualization. To address these requirements, the next- generation architecture for the Future Internet has introduced the
concept of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). At the core of this emerging paradigm is the separation and centralization of
the control plane from the forwarding elements in the network as opposed to the distributed control plane of existing networks.
With the advent of cloud computing, many ecosystem and business paradigms are encountering potential changes and may be
able to eliminate their IT infrastructure maintenance processes. Real-time performance and high availability requirements have
induced telecom networks to adopt the new concepts of the cloud model: software-defined networking (SDN) and network
function virtualization (NFV). NFV introduces and deploys new network functions in an open and standardized IT environment,
while SDN aims to transform the way network’s function. SDN and NFV are complementary technologies; they do not depend
on each other. However, both concepts can be merged and have the potential to mitigate the challenges of legacy networks. In
this paper, our aim is to describe the benefits of using SDN in a multitude of environments such as in data centers, data center
networks, and Network as service offerings.
Nature’s Library - Plant Identification Made Easy using Machine Learning
Authors: R Mrs. Krishna Bharathi
Published: January 2025

Plant species identification is essential for botany, agriculture, and environmental preservation. Manual observationbased traditional approaches take a lot of time and are prone to mistakes. The book "Nature's Library: Leaf Identification Made
Easy Using Machine Learning" provides a scalable and effective method for classifying plants based on their leaves by utilising
support vector machines (SVMs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs). To deal with changes in illumination, orientation, and
background, the system processes leaf images using techniques like resizing, normalisation, and augmentation. Leaf
characteristics including vein patterns, texture, and form are taken out and examined. While SVM provides robust classification
in smaller feature spaces, ANNs automatically identify patterns in the derived data. Both models perform well when
benchmarked for accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Applications include mobile phones, agriculture, and biodiversity

Hexagons govern three-qubit contextuality
Authors: Saniga Metod , Holweck Frédéric , Kelleher Colm , Muller Axel , Giorgetti Alain , Boutray Henri de
Published: January 2025

Split Cayley hexagons of order two are distinguished finite geometries living in the three-qubit symplectic polar space in two different forms, called classical and skew. Although neither of the two yields observable-based contextual configurations of their own, classically-embedded copies are found to fully encode contextuality properties of the most prominent three-qubit contextual configurations in the following sense: for each set of unsatisfiable contexts of such a contextual configuration there exists some classically-embedded hexagon sharing with the configuration exactly this set of contexts and nothing else. We demonstrate this fascinating property first on the configuration comprising all 315 contexts of the space and then on doilies, both types of quadrics as well as on complements of skew-embedded hexagons. In connection with the last-mentioned case and elliptic quadrics we also conducted some experimental tests on a Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) computer to substantiate our theoretical findings.
Sociological monitoring of motivation for military service among helicopter cadets (2008–2023)
Authors:   Military Educational and Scientific Center of the Air Force “Air Force Academy named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky and Yu.A. Gagarin», Karlova Ekaterina , Romanov Nikolai ,   Branch of the Military Educational and Scientific Center of the Air Force “Air Force Academy named after Professor N.E. Zhukovsky and Yu.A. Gagarin»
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a long-term sociological study of the cadets’ motivation to serve
in one of the most dangerous military specialties – piloting army aviation. The traditional institutional
structure of military service has been showing signs of infiltration by market mechanisms since the second
part of the 20th century, which has had a detrimental impact on professional conduct of the servicemen.
Several sociological surveys were used to identify long-term trends in the shifting social base and motivations
of future pilots. The study showed an increase in the average age of applicants, the educational status of their
families, and a decline in the number of military dynasties over the past twenty years. Maintaining
intergenerational continuity of traditions and corporate foundations in the military profession will assist in
stabilizing the number of military dynasties’ continuers. Pragmatic motives for choosing a military profession
are replaced by non-material values. The Special Military Operation increased the conviction among the
cadets in the social significance of their profession, as well as the importance of patriotic motivation.
Analyzing the level of digital transformation in the Chinese banking industry through the Bank Digitalization Index
Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Syachin Valery
Published: January 2025

China’s digital banking market is actively developing. At the same time, in the digital transformation
area, Chinese banks achieve uneven results, thus hindering a comprehensive assessment of their competitiveness
level. This creates the necessity for developing an impartial instrument to perform such an assessment. To assess
the effectiveness of commercial banks based on the extent of their digitalization, the author suggests using the
Bank Digitalization Index (BDI), which he developed. The index was calculated based on the annual accounts of
ten large listed commercial banks in the PRC for 2022. To provide more specific examples, the digitalization
strategies of three banks with distinct attributes – the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and Ping An
Bank – were examined. The index criteria were selected according to the experience of previous studies and
based on the available data. Relative criteria were of higher value. All criteria were grouped into three blocks:
corporate, research, and mobile banking. Following the evaluation results, Ping An Bank, China Merchants Bank,
and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China were the ranking leaders. The author concludes that the
Chinese banks’ digital transformation strategies have taken on similar characteristics at this stage, making stateowned
and private commercial bank groups equally competitive in digital and financial technology.
Digital transformation of society: efficiency in using electronic platforms for interactions with public authorities
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Peskov Dmitry
Published: January 2025

The article examines the effectiveness of using electronic platforms to promote communication
between citizens and the government in light of digital transformation of Russian society. The main goals are to
evaluate perceptions of artificial intelligence, data security, digital literacy, and user satisfaction. The majority of
users believe e-platforms to be very effective, according to the survey results, but they also recognize the need
for improved data security and process automation. Digital literacy varies significantly by demographic: younger
users and those with higher education are more digitally competent and satisfied with the Internet, whereas
users with secondary vocational education and older people are more likely to experience issues with Internet
platforms. The widespread concern about data security emphasizes the need for robust data protection measures.
Implementation of Artificial Intelligence is viewed cautiously, with users voicing skepticism and worries about
potential mistakes and data security risks. To improve efficiency and citizen satisfaction, the author suggests
enhancing digital literacy, strengthening data security protocols, and optimizing user experience.
Fugir ao utilitarismo: experimentações com o queer e o ensino de geografia
Authors: Pereira Stribel Guilherme , Pereira de Sousa Victor
Published: January 2025

Resumo
O modo como o campo de estudos em ensino de Geografia se constituiu no Brasil vem demonstrando que seguimos caminhando por uma lógica utilitarista sustentada pela racionalidade neoliberal que promete perversamente a ideia de um futuro melhor. Isso corrobora para a ideia de que o ensino de Geografia precise servir para alguma coisa, o que sustenta políticas como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular e o Novo Ensino Médio, prometendo aos estudantes a tomada de decisões para seus próprios destinos, formando os cidadãos que demanda o mundo contemporâneo, mas deixando para eles o fardo de um possível fracasso futuro. Desse modo, por meio de um exercício de especulação teórica, o presente artigo se constitui como uma proposta de fugir ao utilitarismo no ensino de Geografia por meio de experimentações com o queer. Entendido como uma dimensão experimental do mundo, o queer possibilita a imaginação de um mundo outro, tensionando as próprias noções de tempo e espaço, desvencilhando de promessas de futuro que não tem nenhuma garantia de serem cumpridas diante do cenário sociopolítico brasileiro. Assim, queerizar o ensino de Geografia não é uma resposta ou um projeto, mas um exercício experimental de pensar esse ensino como produtor de sentidos, tendo a experiência de viver juntos como um constante ato de criação.

Abstract
The way the field of Geography teaching has been established in Brazil demonstrates that we are still walking along a utilitarian logic sustained by neoliberal rationality, which deceitfully promises the idea of a better future. This corroborates the notion that Geography teaching needs to serve a purpose, which supports policies such as the Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) [National Common Core Curriculum] and the Novo Ensino Médio (NEM) [New High School], promising students the ability to make decisions about their own destinies, shaping the citizens demanded by the contemporary world, but burdening them with the possibility of future failure. Thus, through an exercise of theoretical speculation, this article proposes to escape utilitarianism in Geography teaching by engaging in queer experimentation. Understood as an experimental dimension of the world, queerness enables the imagination of another world, challenging notions of time and space, disentangling from promises of a future that have no guarantee of being fulfilled given the Brazilian sociopolitical scenario. Therefore, queering Geography teaching is not an answer or a project, but an experimental exercise in thinking of this education as a producer of meanings, with the experience of living together as a constant act of creation.

Many factors contribute to student learning boredom, but specifically the learning boredom experienced is related to time management, interaction with lecturers, adjustment to the campus environment, and lack of support. These are the things that most often and often trigger students to experience learning boredom. There are several methods to prevent and overcome learning boredom, one of which is by implementing good communication patterns for lecturers towards their students. Communication must be two-way, meaning that communication must be built with a response from the communicants, in this case between the lecturer and the students. . The method used in this research uses a qualitative approach. Communication patterns are closely related to the process of a lecturer's approach to students, of course each lecturer has a certain strategy in communicating. Several things that a lecturer can do to overcome students who experience learning boredom include improving teaching communication patterns. Lecturers need to package learning communication patterns to make them more interesting and enjoyable. To create creative, responsive and fun learning, of course it must be supported by students, parents and the community.

Transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds in insect repellents that are widely used by people are classified as insecticides which can be teratogenic. This study aims to determine the teratogenic effects caused by a combination of transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds on fetus mice (Mus musculus L.) during the period of organogenesis. The design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 5 groups as replications. The treatment consisted of exposure to a combination of transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds with each dose of 4 mg and 45 mg for 0, 6, 8 and 10 hours at gestational age 6 to 15 days. On the 18th day the pregnancy was carried out laparotomy to take the fetus from the mother's uterus to the mice. The design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 4 treatments and 5 groups as replications. The treatment consisted of exposure to a combination of transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds with each dose of 4 mg and 45 mg for 0, 6, 8 and 10 hours at gestational age 6 to 15 days. On the 18th day the pregnancy was carried out laparotomy to take the fetus from the mother's uterus to the mice. The results showed that the exposure of 6, 8 and 10 hours of the combination of transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds could cause 33.3%, 40.9% and 38.9% of fetal deaths, 19.1% of hemorrhages, respectively. 36.8% and 50%, body cancer as much as 2.38%, 2.6% and 5.6%, body humping (flexion) by 0%, 5.2% and 11.1%, bone deformities as much as 4.7%, 10, 5% and 16.7%, and abnormalities resulting from ossification of fetal mice were 7.1%, 13.2% and 19.4%. But the treatment of exposure did not affect body weight, body length and fetal morphology of mice. From the results of the study it can be concluded that the combination of transflutrin and d-alletrin compounds have mild teratogenic effects on fetus mice and the teratogenic effects increase with increasing exposure time to external abnormalities and fetal internal mice.

The machine under study is the machine used for assembling the spun pile reinforcement frame in the rotary workshop. The purpose of this study is to analyze the application of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) through the effectiveness and efficiency of heading machine performance and analyze the factors that affect the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) value and present a proposed heading machine maintenance strategy. The method used is OEE with Six Big Losses analysis. For the analysis of the six big losses on the OEE value, namely the value of Idle and minor stoppage (a decrease due to many machine stops) which is a factor that has the largest percentage of the six big losses with a resulting factor value of 7.0%. Then followed by reduced speed losses (decrease in engine speed) of 3.96% and then deffect losses of 3.48% and the three other factor values, namely breakdown losses, setup losses, and yield losses. Measurement of the level of effectiveness and efficiency of the heading machine at PT XYZ using the OEE method for the period 2022 in January - December obtained an average value of 78.28%. The resulting value is still far from the ideal OEE standard value of 85% which refers to the world class standard. The lowest OEE factor value is obtained from the calculation of Performance Efficiency of 86.29% where it is necessary to update the machine maintenance scheduling so as to increase the efficiency of the heading machine performance that supports the production speed of the company.

Published: January 2025

Semoga laris tofu factory is one of the food industry businesses, where the factory processes soybeans into tofu products. The problem that occurs in the management of inventory at the semoga laris tofu factory is that the factory tends to be unprepared for unexpected circumstances, which is caused by the fact that the value of safety stock on raw material inventory has not been determined. At the semoga laris tofu factory hopefully laris there are also capital restrictions on the purchase of raw materials, where the available capital is IDR 30,000,000. This study aims to evaluate the inventory management carried out by the factory by comparing the Min-Max Method, the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Method with the tofu factory policy, which after obtaining the optimal Q is then calculated using the working capital constraint method if the results of the optimal Q cannot be met by the available capital. Based on the results of calculations carried out in this study, calculations with the Basic EOQ method have more optimal Q results compared to other methods. However, the basic EOQ calculation exceeds the existing capital limit, because the cost of purchasing raw materials costs IDR 105,450,000. Based on the existence of capital-related restrictions, the calculation is continued with the capital constraint EOQ method. EOQ with this capital constraint has a quantity for one order of 52 bags with a capital cost of IDR 29,640,000.

Performance measurement analysis using the performance Prism and objective matrix: a case study of KPUD Tani Wilis
Authors: Harsys Benaya , Iriani Iriani
Published: January 2025

Performance is one the critical aspect in every company or business that needs to be considered. However, a common issue encountered is that companies often fail to accurately assess their business performance. Inaccurate performance measurements result in a lack of continuous improvement in productivity and instead negatively impact the overall performance quality, thereby influencing revenue growth. This research focuses on key performance indicators (KPIs) that deviate from the standards set by KPUD 'Tani Wilis'. Consequently, alternative performance measurement approaches, such as identifying indicators using the performance Prism and evaluating performance through the objective matrix, are necessary. The results indicate that 68% of the indicators across various dimensions are in good condition, while 32% are below standard, with the required threshold set at 75% for good performance. The primary challenges identified include maintaining service quality for customers and ensuring supply delivery accuracy. The proposed solutions involve implementing robust control and monitoring systems focused on customer service quality, with dedicated supervisors or quality control experts overseeing the process.

Authors: Fuentealba Jiménez Tamara , Quintanilla Espinoza Angie
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación intenta describir la influencia del proceso de doblaje de videos para reducir los niveles de ansiedad al hablar de los estudiantes de primaria en el aula de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL). La intervención constó de 5 sesiones donde los estudiantes trabajaron en parejaspracticando la lectura en voz alta del diálogo de una escena cinematográfica, utilizando el video como insumo para el doblaje intralingüístico, para finalmente grabar y sincronizar sus voces con la escena. Los participantes de este estudio fueron 8 estudiantes chilenos de 8º grado que fueron seleccionados por susaltos niveles de ansiedad al hablar en el aula de EFL. Para analizar el efecto de esta estrategia se realizó una escala Likert, entrevistas semiestructuradas y observaciones. Los hallazgos revelaron que el proceso dedoblaje contribuyó a disminuir los niveles de ansiedad al hablar de los participantes, declarando sentirsemás seguros, menos nerviosos y más dispuestos a participar en el aula de EFL, concluyendo que esta estrategia ha demostrado ser efectiva para este propósito.

Desde un principio hedonista, el leer puede generar placer en el lector dependiendo de la postura que adopte frente al texto. En el ámbito de la educación, la enseñanza de la Literatura debe estar direccionada a desarrollar las posturas estética y eferente en todos los niveles de escolarización. Por ello, en el presente estudio se pretendió implementar una propuesta pedagógica en base a metodologías activas para fomentar la lectura por obras literarias en las personas estudiantes de primer y segundo año de bachillerato del colegio Gabriel Arsenio Ullauri durante el periodo lectivo 2022 - 2023. El enfoque de investigación fue mixto y los métodos utilizados:  inductivo – deductivo, analítico – sintético e hipotético – demostrativo. Con la aplicación de las sesiones de plan lector, se constató que la apreciación de los educandos sobre las actividades de lectura en la asignatura de Lengua y Literatura cambiaron de algo interesantes a muy interesantes, siendo la máxima calificación. Además, la acción de relacionar las experiencias con los textos leídos adquirió relevancia durante la práctica en el aula. Esta variación se sustenta con el grado de acuerdo que el personal docente mantuvo en los dos procesos diagnóstico respecto a la incorporación de nuevas metodologías para la promoción lectora. Por último, para futuros estudios bajo esta misma línea investigativa se recomienda considerar a toda la población estudiantil del nivel de bachillerato con el fin de obtener resultados de la muestra poblacional ausente en este artículo.

Esta investigación psicométrica analizó la estructura interna y la confiabilidad del Inventario de Estrategias Metacognitivas de O'Neil y Abedi (1996) en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios de Perú. Para ello, se tomó una muestra intencional de 404 estudiantes de una universidad privada de la ciudad de Arequipa, de los cuales el 54,5% eran varones con una edad promedio de 19 años. Se aplicó la versión de la prueba validada por Vallejos et al. (2012), la cual tiene una estructura de tres factores: autoconciencia, autorregulación y evaluación. Para calcular la validez del instrumento se utilizó el análisis factorial confirmatorio, y para calcular la fiabilidad se emplearon la prueba alfa de Cronbach y la prueba omega de McDonald. Los resultados confirmaron la estructura trifactorial, pero sólo la primera dimensión obtuvo índices de fiabilidad adecuados.
The atlas of the Balkan linguistic area program
Authors: Adamou Evangelia , Sobolev Andrey
Published: January 2025

This article presents the Atlas of the Balkan Linguistic Area (ABLA), a
French- Russian research program that created an online database of language
contact phenomena documented in the languages of the Balkans. This resource
will be open access after its launch in 2025, enriching the fields of Balkan
and areal linguistics. Specifically, ABLA consists of 93 phonological,
morpho-syntactic, semantic, and lexical features. Each feature is matched to
a map covering 60 localities across Balkan countries. Each map is
accompanied by a chapter co-authored by the project contributors. The paper
offers some preliminary results for the feature ?Infinitive: Forms?. The
online database in Wordpress is hosted by Huma-Num in France. ABLA, to be
published by de Gruyter, is not only the first online database for the
Balkans, an area shaped by multilingualism in forms that are rapidly
disappearing, but also an example for other linguistic areas in the world
You are what you don’t eat - fasting, ethics, and ethnography, in Serbia and beyond
Authors: Lackenby Nicholas
Published: January 2025

This article examines Orthodox fasting in contemporary Serbia. It does so
through the theoretical lens of ?ethical affordances?, suggesting that food
and fasting practices allow a range of people to articulate different
ethical evaluations. Food and fasting generate diverse reflections on the
importance of rules, spiritual growth, hypocrisy, and sincerity. Thinking
anthropologically, we see that people with range of viewpoints on the Church
are in fact united in making ethical evaluations. More broadly, the article
speculates that thinking about the ethical affordances of food might be one
way to develop the ethnography of religion after Yugoslav socialism more
generally.
Alien encounter narratives in a forensic environment
Authors: Bohlander Michael
Published: January 2025

The reluctance of the vast majority of SETI researchers to take non-repeatable personal alien encounter narratives into account is a staple trope in the alien encounter debate. However, the proof of the pudding would seem to lie in investigating the very practical consequences of the use of encounter testimony of all sorts in legal proceedings, for example, when examining how courts would react to a claim that somebody had a car accident because she was buzzed by a UFO or distracted by a sighting while driving etc. The German Federal Court of Justice in the famous “Sirius”case already had occasion to test the impact of a victim’s firmly held belief in the alien origin of a fraudster on the latter’s criminal liability. In the age of increasingly ubiquitous dashcam footage, for example, we might now even have new sources of evidence to complement the personal narrative. The paper will engage with the rules of the holistic evaluation of evidence in court proceedings and take a look at the principles of forensic witness psychology and how the interplay might influence the outcome of a case in real life. After an initial survey of past court cases involving alien encounters of any kind, it will focus on the German legal system, because trial judges there have to give extensive reasons for their judgment, there is no “black box” of secret jury deliberations, and because the author will be able to draw on his own experience as a German trial and appellate judge.
Ti år med Nordisk tidsskrift for pedagogikk og kritikk
Authors: Willbergh Ilmi , Aarsand Pål
Published: January 2025

I år er det ti år siden Maria Øksnes, Einar Sundsdal og Lars Løvlie startet opp Nordisk tidsskrift for pedagogikk og kritikk. I tidsskriftets første leder fremhevet redaktørene at utdanning er et politisk slagfelt der ulike synspunkter, agendaer, ideologier, meninger og erfaringer møtes. Blant annet skriver de at «tidsskriftet skal være et sted for nytenk-ende og skarpe analyser som åpner for nye perspektiver på pedagogiske problemstillinger og institusjoner» (2015, s. 2). Dette er fremdeles tidsskriftets grunnleggende idé.

Packaging industries fabricate and transport products in wrapped, sealed, and cushioned containers and boxes on roads, often through fossil-fuelled vehicles that emit carbons. Thus, decarbonization and net zero emission drive are compelling for these vehicles. This paper proposes a robust green logistics interaction model for monitoring and reducing exhaust pipe emissions in an uncertain environment. It uses a hybrid method known as fuzzy-0/1-KDP-PROMETHEE (Fuzzy-0/1 Knapsack dynamic programming-Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) approach to concurrently reduce uncertainty, optimize the capacity of the knapsack and establish the preferred option among the parameters of green logistic. Both PROMETHEE I and II were introduced and tested using logistics data from an Indian environment based on secondary data. The method works by first reducing the effect of uncertainty on the model outcomes. This was achieved by establishing the output space as the fuzzy state, creating fuzzy rules, and mapping degrees to rules. Then, the degrees are used to maximize, ensuring that the weighted sum is not greater than the capacity of the Knapsack. The outcome is then regarded as the element of the green logistics exhaust emission process. The results obtained from the analysis, using the replacement of fuzzy expert (triangular) with fuzzy extent (trapezoidal), fuzzy geometric mean (triangular), and fuzzy geometric mean (trapezoidal) reveal that the fuzzy-0/1-KDP-PROMETHEE method adequately represents the score obtained using the data set from the exhaust emissions.
