Protection of the Rights of Russian Citizens at the Supranational Level: in Search of Alternatives
Authors: Gligich-Zolotareva M. V.
Published: December 2023

Recently, international relations have deteriorated sharply, provoking the erosion of supranational human rights institutions. Against this background, Russia withdrew from the Council of Europe and, accordingly, from the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights. Federal legislation has introduced norms on the protection of Russian citizens from international bodies whose decisions contradict national legislation. However, this does not solve the overall task of protecting the rights and freedoms of Russian citizens at the supranational level. The article concludes that it is necessary to make more active use of the remaining opportunities to protect the rights of Russian citizens at the supranational level, as well as to create new alternative institutions for the protection of human rights within the framework of international associations friendly to Russia, such as the CIS, the SCO and the EAEU.
A Review of Various Materials under Different Conditions for Efficient Photocatalytic Dye Degradation
Authors: Keerthana SP. , Yuvakkumar R. , Ravi G.
Published: December 2023

Large amounts of more toxic dye water have been released into the
environment recently as a result of the expansion of the textile industry. There are
numerous approaches that have been found and applied to lessen the water's toxicity.
One of the processes that operate when there is light illumination is photocatalysis. The
electrons in the valence band absorb light illumination when exposed to it, excite the
conduction band, and create a hole in the valence band. The dye compounds will be
lessened by the recombination of these created electron-hole pairs. Materials for
effective photocatalysis are being researched. Many factors affect the photocatalytic
performance, including narrow bandgap, high surface area, and good recombination
rate. TiO2
is a semiconducting material, however, due to its higher bandgap values, it
has a lower potential when exposed to light. This article provides a brief overview of
several materials that can be affected by a variety of factors, such as doping, surfactant
addition, and composites made of carbon-based materials. It also compares how well
each material performs in terms of lowering hazardous pollutants and provides an
illustration of the mechanism.

Published: December 2023

The spread of hoaxes on social media continues to occur in Indonesia because there is no gatekeeping process to maintain information reliability. Thus, the gatekeeping process is returned to social media users, who can create and disseminate the information. This study describes and classifies hoax information spread on social media using a content analysis approach with mimetic practices. This research uses a descriptive qualitative content analysis method to describe and classify hoaxes spread in Indonesia. This research uses dimensions of mimetic practice, namely content, form, and stance. This dimension is to analyze the hoax data that has been collected with documentation techniques. All hoax information to be investigated is taken from one of Tempo's fact-checking accounts, namely @tempo.cekfakta. The account has been certified by the International Network of Independent Fact-Checkers (IFCN) as well as Facebook's partner in its third-party fact-checking program in Indonesia.
Impression Management Komunitas Role player K-POP dalam Media Sosial Twitter
Authors: Rienadhy Anindya Cindy Dama
Published: December 2023

The emergence of K-Pop in Indonesia has given rise to a rapidly evolving fan culture on various social media platforms, one of which is Twitter. Fandom communities on Twitter have, in turn, brought forth a new phenomenon: the emergence of K-Pop Roleplayer communities. K-Pop Roleplaying involves participants assuming the personas of Korean celebrities as characters in their interactions. Since players essentially 'borrow' the identities of others in this game, terms like "In Character" (IC) and "Out of Character" (OOC) have arisen, which can be explored through the same concepts found in impression management, namely the "front stage" and "back stage." This qualitative research, employing a netnographic approach, seeks to understand how K-Pop Roleplayers engage in impression management in their daily activities and how effectively they can portray the chosen celebrity characters. The study also examines the real-life impacts of Roleplay on the participants. The research was conducted using netnography methods, including observation and semi-structured interviews with five informants who are K-Pop Roleplayers.The findings of this study are as follows: K-Pop Roleplayers consider their Twitter timelines as their "front stage." The objective of their impression management is to create a positive image of the characters they portray. They achieve this through the appearance of their accounts and the content they post. The "back stage" in this context is considered to be their online accounts, and Roleplaying has a noticeable influence on the real lives of the participants. This research makes a valuable contribution to the field of communication studies, especially in the realm of social media dramaturgy.
Representasi Romantic Relationship dalam Film Wedding Agreement
Authors: Ahsani Filardi Amal , Illahi Azizun Kurnia
Published: December 2023

This research aims to analyze the portrayal of romantic relationships in the film "Wedding Agreement" involving arranged couples. The focus of the research is to explore how the representation of these relationships in the film relates to the social context of Indonesian society, as well as the relevance of the phenomena depicted in the film to the current conditions. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with document analysis as the data collection technique. The use of discourse analysis with its two paradigms is chosen as the data analysis technique in this study because it can reveal culture and society in a discourse constructed through textual elements, namely the formalist and functionalist paradigms. The results show that the film "Wedding Agreement" represents several phenomena that occur in the social reality of Indonesia, such as arranged marriages, patriarchal culture, the influence of strong religious values, and high parental control over children. The question that arises is whether the phenomena portrayed in the film truly reflect the current state of society and to what extent the film can depict the actual issues faced by the community. Overall, "Wedding Agreement" provides a relevant representation of the social and cultural context of Indonesia.

Authors: Rodrigues Sílvio Carlos , Bombonatto Danelon Jean Roger , Barcelos Anna Carolina
Published: December 2023

Os estudos relativos à Geomorfologia Antropogênica passaram a ser mais difundidos no meio científico a partir dos anos de 1970, quando importantes publicações foram realizadas a respeito do papel do Homem frente às modificações ocorridas no relevo. Embora a discussão tenha ganhado corpo nesse período, apontamentos a respeito da interferência antrópica nos processos geomorfológicos já eram consideradas em obras anteriores, mas sem a devida ênfase. Procurando suscitar o debate a respeito da Geomorfologia Antropogênica, o presente estudo trás parte do conjunto de obras e autores que embasaram o desenvolvimento da ciência geomorfológica, desde tempos pretéritos onde pensadores exercitavam reflexões a respeitos das formas de relevo, passando pelas obras clássicas de William Morris Davis e Walther Penck, buscando assim, apontar como a mesma se desenvolveu ao passar dos anos e possibilitou que ramificações teóricas surgissem de seu âmago. Nesse contexto, foram apresentados os conceitos norteadores da Geomorfologia Antropogênica, desenvolvidos por importantes autores que contribuíram de forma significativa para a evolução dessa temática. Colocando-a como importante área do conhecimento a ser explorada pelos geomorfólogos, os quais, sem o seu domínio terão dificuldades na tratativa dos processos geomorfológicos que ocorrem atualmente nos centros urbanos, uma vez que tais processos sofrem uma série de interferências que alteram e condicionam suas dinâmicas, alterando suas características naturais.
Transcutaneous ultrasonographic characteristics of the canine cervical esophagus
Authors: Gomes B.J. , King A. , Gamino V. , Parkin T. , Murphy M.C. , Sullivan M.
Published: December 2023

Ultrasound is a readily available imaging modality that allows detailed visualization of the canine esophageal wall. However, in the literature, there are few reports of its use for this purpose. The aim of the present study was to document the sonographic appearance and measurements in normal dogs. Seven cadavers and ten healthy live dogs were examined using a 14MHz transducer. Two, four or six wall layers were identified using ultrasound. To the authors’ knowledge, the identification of six layers using ultrasound has not been reported before; this is apparently due to fibrous tissue located between the muscle layers as determined using histology. The mean ultrasonographic wall thickness for the live dogs was 2.8 mm ± 1 mm. These findings support the use of transcutaneous ultrasonography to evaluate the cervical esophagus, but further research is required to determine its use in clinical cases.
“Скиты” веселой Елизавет: Русские эрмитажи середины XVIII века
Authors: Корндорф Анна
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the history of the appearance of garden pavilions and Russian palace chambers also known as "hermitages." The tradition of building hermitages as special-purpose premises, adopted in Russia in the early eighteenth century, had acquired during the reign of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna a meaningful national character and scope. Hereby, this tradition may be considered as one of the major cultural phenomena of that time. At the same time, Russian hermitages were significantly different in their function from the British and continental European hermitages. Their main function throughout the eighteenth century remained that of a private, isolated dining room equipped with a special table volante mechanism that allowed those who had gathered to eat without servants. The article therefore also pays attention to the role of mechanical tables and mechanical amusement machines in the baroque court culture. It also compares the design of Elizabeth Petrovna's dining hermitage in Tsarskoye Selo with European architectural treatises. The reader is also acquainted with the reasons for the development of such functional and iconographic features of Russian hermitage architecture, which occupies a special place in the vast and varied European tradition of hermitage construction.

Comparing Repeated (Annual) Couples HIV Testing and Counseling to Individual HIV Testing and Counseling Among Male Couples at High Risk of HIV Infection: Protocol for a Randomized Control Trial
Authors: Starks Tyrel J , Kyre Kory , Castiblanco Juan , Parker Jayelin N , Kahle Erin , Stephenson Rob , Cain Demetria
Published: December 2023

Background

Couples HIV testing and counseling (CHTC) is now a standard of care prevention strategy recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for sexual minority men (SMM) in relationships. Despite standard recommendations that couples complete CHTC every 6-12 months, no study has empirically evaluated the effects associated with CHTC retesting.

Objective

This study aims to understand the benefits associated with continued dyadic engagement in the HIV prevention continuum through routine CHTC retesting, which is of particular importance for emerging-adult SMM in relationships who use drugs.

Methods

Eligible couples for this CHTC retesting trial must already be enrolled in the 4Us trial, where they completed a CHTC session after their baseline survey. The purpose of the original 4Us trial was to test the efficacy of 2 intervention components for CHTC: a communication skills training video and a substance use module. Couples were eligible for the original 4Us trial if they identified as cisgender male, were in a relationship for 3 months or longer, were aged 17 years or older, and communicated in English. At least 1 partner had to be aged 17-29 years, report HIV negative or unknown serostatus, report use of at least 1 drug (cannabis, cocaine or crack, crystal methamphetamine, ketamine, gamma-hydroxybuterate [GHB], psychedelics, ecstasy, prescription medication misuse, opiates, and nitrates) use, and engage in condomless anal sex (CAS) acts with a casual partner or have a main partner who is nonmonogamous or serodiscordant. Those who complete the 4Us 12-month follow-up and remain in a relationship with the partner they participated in 4Us with are offered the opportunity to participate in this CHTC retesting trial. Those consenting are randomized to either CHTC retesting or individual HIV testing. Follow-up assessments are conducted 3 and 6 months after randomization to evaluate the effects of repeat CHTC on 2 primary outcomes: (1) CAS with a casual partner in the absence of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and (2) CAS with a serodiscordant main partner who is not virally suppressed or concurrent CAS between main and casual partners in the absence of PrEP.

Results

The CHTC retesting trial launched in January 2023, and enrollment is ongoing. As of February 2024, the study had enrolled 106 eligible participants (n=53 couples).

Conclusions

Findings from this CHTC retesting study will contribute to knowledge about the benefits associated with regular (repeated) CHTC testing versus routine individual HIV testing for SMM in relationships. The results of this trial will inform CHTC retesting guidance.

Authors: Sivakumar Bridve , Ricupero Maria , Mahajan Anisha , Jefferson Katherine , Wenger John , Code Jillianne , Theodorou Alex , Arcand Joanne
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Mobile apps show promise in supporting patients with heart failure (HF) in adhering to dietary guidelines for sodium and fluid. Though numerous apps to support HF management exist, only a few have dedicated features to support dietary adherence.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the process and outcomes from the development and testing of Sodium NavigatorHF, a mobile app intervention to engage patients with HF in dietary education and adherence.

METHODS

Background research in app development, behaviour change, nutrition and qualitative interviews with patients and healthcare providers informed app content and design. Weekly team meetings were held to establish learning objectives, content, and features of the app until a prototype was developed and approved. Using a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design, patients with HF ( 18 years) evaluated the prototype via one-on-one online user-testing sessions. App engagement, satisfaction, and usability were measured using a 12-question patient-reported Likert-scale questionnaire. Participant feedback on app content and features was gathered using qualitative interviews.

RESULTS

Six educational modules (dietary sodium recommendations, contributors of sodium in the diet, nutrition labelling, lowering dietary sodium, fluid restriction and goal setting), ten behaviour change techniques (e.g., feedback on behaviour, social support) and gamified components (i.e., avatar, point-system) were integrated into the app. Participants (n=10, 5615 years, 80% women) enjoyed using the app (90%), strongly agreed that the information was meaningful and useful for their health (80%) and was easy to use (70%).

CONCLUSIONS

Results demonstrate the potential of Sodium NavigatorHF to support patients with dietary education and adherence for HF management.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee Sunjung
Published: December 2023

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of e-portfolios, a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, on Korean EFL students’ speaking proficiency and attitudes toward speaking, which may help improve their English communicative competence and self-directed learning attitudes.
Methods The experimental group participated in e-portfolio sessions five times over 15 weeks; they used their web folders to collect digital videos of their speaking performance, self-assessments, and teacher assessments. The control group was evaluated solely by a teacher. The data from 104 participants who completed the pre- and post-speaking tests and the pre- and post-questionnaires were analyzed.
Results The analyses revealed that the e-portfolio had a positive impact on the students’ English-speaking abilities. Specifically, the experimental group showed significantly higher improvements in fluency and appropriateness compared to the control group, and these results were observed among both high- and low-proficiency students. Furthermore, the e-portfolio had a significant positive influence on the low-proficiency students’ interest, con-fidence, motivation, and use of metacognitive strategies in speaking English. Additionally, 93% of the students indicated that using the speaking e-portfolio in English classes was desirable.
Conclusions Given that most studies on portfolios are limited to writing, reading, and listening in the Korean EFL context, this study expands previous research by applying portfolios to the area of speaking. The findings of this study suggest that e-portfolios can be an effective tool for enhancing students’ English communication skills and fostering self-regulated learning attitudes. Additionally, students’ suggestions, such as providing them with speaking samples from native speakers for self-assessment, as well as developing more specific self-assessment questionnaire items, offer pedagogical implications for the effective implementation of speaking e-portfolios.

Skolotājas un miera meklējumi misijas laukos – gadījumu izpēte no Latvijas
Authors:   Latvijas Universitāte, Ēce Kristīna
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the path of the missionaries from Livland (Vidzeme), Hildegard Prozell (1869–1948) to Tamil Nadu, India 1896–1908, and Auguste Vietnieka (also Weetneck, Weetneek and Weetnek, 1873–?) to Sumatra, Indonesia 1899–1910, in fulfill-ing their call from God and becoming mission teachers, as well as their considerations when they wrote about peace in different areas of the mission field. To provide a historical and theological context, the paper includes a summary of the theological basis for women’s mission by the German missiologists Gustav Warneck, Theodor Christlieb and August Schreiber. The paper concluded that, although the German missiologists did not see the pos-sibility of women being “real” missionaries, i.e., preaching the word of God in worship services, they did see the possibility of women, both married and unmarried, being in mission as teachers, doctors and nurses. In their missionary work, Prozell and Vietnieka were teachers, teaching children, running schools as principals and establishing schools themselves. From the missionaries’ letters it was possible to see that, as far as the concept of peace was concerned, their main emphasis was on peace with God. This peace could be obtained, if they obeyed the call they had received from God, as they understood it from the Scriptures and from attending church services and talking to the pastors. Even when they encountered difficulties in their mission work, it was God’s peace that helped them to overcome those. It was also clear that relationships with people – other missionaries, children in schools and their parents – were very important in the mission work of these teachers. Once these relationships were in order, the missionaries could experience peace and so could those around them, even though at times it was difficult for the missionaries to maintain peace with other missionaries because of nationality or gender-related prejudices. Today, mission work has changed; in most Christian denominations, women are not restricted in their mission work in the way that Prozell and Vietnieka were. However, the concept of peace, especially peace with God and peace with one’s colleagues and with the people one serves is still relevant today.

This article discusses the Wirkungsgeschichte approach in biblical studies, its advantages and disadvantages. Hans Georg Gadamer actualized the idea of Wirkungsgeschichte in philosophical hermeneutics and made it the basis of all understanding. His student Hans Robert Jauss, based on Gadamer’s ideas, developed the method of Wirkungsgeschichte in literary studies, exploring the ways how a literary work lives on in the reception of subsequent generations and what makes it relevant today. Ulrich Luz, following the concepts of Gadamer and Jauss, adapted their ideas into a study of the reception of biblical texts. Luz’s main argument is that the Wirkungsgeschichte approach helps to explore the biblical text from new angles and to perceive other inter-pretations of the text in tradition and culture. The disadvantages of Wirkungsgeschichte listed in the article do not invalidate the impor-tance of this approach, but emphasize the fact that it must be skilfully used in combination with other methods, while clearly defining the meaning of Wirkungsgeschichte, the pur-pose and boundaries of the study. The considered advantages of the Wirkungsgeschichte approach actualize its use to enrich and broaden the understanding of the text and to approach it from new perspectives in order to better apply it in life.

aksts ir veltīts Baltijas evaņģēliski luterisko baznīcu dzīvei un attiecībām ar padomju reliģijas politiku staļinisma periodā. Analizējot katras baznīcas vadību maiņu Otrā pasaules kara laikā un īsi pēc tam, autore atklāj Igaunijas, Latvijas un Lietuvas luterāņu apstākļus sovetizācijas kontekstā. Pētījumā izmantoti visu trīs Baltijas valstu arhīvi un atbilstošā literatūra. Luterāņu baznīcu vadības nodošanas process Igaunijā un Latvijā bija līdzīgs – starp-karu perioda baznīcu vadītāji, pametot savu valsti, nodeva baznīcu drošās rokās, taču sākotnējie aizstājēji amatā ilgi neatradās, tika pakļauti represijām un vēlāk ar padomju atbalstu tika iecelta jauna vadība. Lietuvas evaņģēliski luteriskās baznīcas vadības maiņa tika veikta pēc vairāku mācītāju iniciatīvas un bez padomju ietekmes, kas arī noteica baznīcas attieksmi pret padomju varu pēckara gados. Neskatoties uz amata ieņemšanas atšķirībām, pirmajos gados visu baznīcu vadību galvenie uzdevumi bija palīdzēt draudzēm ar karā nodarītiem fiziskiem zaudējumiem, pārreģistrēt draudzes, kalpot pašiem vai atrast mācītājus draudzēm. Īpaša nozīme vadību darbībā bija Reliģijas kultu lietu pārvaldei un tās pilnvarotajam, kas uzraudzīja baznīcas. Baltijas luterāņi šajā periodā saskārās ar intensīvu sovetizāciju, piedzīvoja atklātas un slēptas represijas, novērošanu, izmeklēšanu u. c. ar padomju reliģijas politiku saistītas darbības. Autore secina, ka rakstā aplūkotajās hronoloģiskajās robežās tika aizsākti procesi, kas noveda pie Igaunijas un Latvijas evaņģēliski luterisko baznīcu lēnas sovetizēšanās un vēlākās reliģiskās stagnācijas 60.–70. gados. Lietuvas evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca, pateicoties tās vadības darbībai un vadošo personu nostājai, netika pakļauta sovetizēšanai tādos apmēros, kā tas notika Igaunijā un Latvijā.
Tīlmaņa Hāberera “Pestīšana 7.0” koncepts rokgrupas “U2” dziesmā “Greisa” (Grace) un kinofilmā “Visvarenais Brūss” (Bruce Almighty)

The article examines how the theologian Tilmann Haberer updates pre-modern theological formulations of sin and salvation for modern and post-modern perceptions of reality through the concept of the developmental space of consciousness, which makes these concepts viable again. The narratives of Creation, Fall and Salvation are reinterpreted; the concept of “Salvation 7.0”, as well as the concept and image of God that is appropriate to the perception of the reality of modern man are created. The song by the band “U2” “Grace” (2000) and the film “Bruce Almighty” (2003) are among the most striking examples of the transformation of the image of God in audiovisual art at the beginning of the 21st century as outlined by T. Haberer.
Kovida teoloģija: trīs pieejas
Authors:   Latvijas Universitāte, Stone Rota
Published: December 2023

In the current article, the author reviews three publications from 2020 by three prominent authors: Let Us Dream by Pope Francis, Coronavirus and Christ by John Piper, and God and the Pandemic by Tom Wright. Each of these works represents a different Christian tradition (Roman Catholic, North American evangelical, Anglican) and comes from different part of the world (Argentina / Rome, USA, United Kingdom). The emphasis of this review is on the way the three different approaches interpret God’s role in the pandemic, human involvement and relation with God, and the way COVID is generalised in these three publications. The analysis also looks at the genre of the works, their sources, audience, and literary structure. After considering each work separately, the last section of the article provides a brief commentary on the three approaches. There are certain similarities among the three works, like God’s rule over all and the emphasis on the active role of believers during the pandemic. However, there are also notable differences, particularly in distinct emphases of the authors. Attempting to summarise these approaches, the article concludes with three questions that could be used as a simplified summary of each approach: “How can we change the world for better after the COVID with God’s help?” (Pope Francis); “Why has God punished me with the COVID pandemic?” (John Piper); and “Will we be content with simple answers about God’s role in the COVID pandemic?” (Tom Wright).

In Islam, husbands have the responsibility to fulfill the rights of their families. However, in the context of convicts, the implementation of these rights can become more complicated due to the limitations imposed by imprisonment. The objectives of this research are: first, to analyze the rights of pregnant wives who are convicted and imprisoned at the Class II B Sigli Women's Correctional Institution in Pidie Subdistrict, Pidie Regency, based on the perspective of Islamic law; and second, to analyze the fulfillment of husbands' obligations towards pregnant convicts at the Class II B Sigli Women's Correctional Institution in Pidie Subdistrict, Pidie Regency. This study adopts an empirical legal research approach (non-doctrinal research). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings of this research resulted in two main outcomes: First, the determination of the obligation to provide financial support for pregnant wives in prison is mandatory due to their pregnancy. Second, the fulfillment of the rights of imprisoned wives by their husbands, as stipulated in the conception of Islamic law, is still not fully achieved. This is due to the husbands' incarceration. Based on these findings, it is recommended to establish regulations regarding the fulfillment of the rights of imprisoned wives by convict husbands. This would involve the cooperation between correctional institutions, authorities, and religious institutions in facilitating easier and more accessible access for convict husbands to fulfill the rights of their imprisoned wives.

Authors: Rojas Duran Dayra Constanza , Chaparro Espinosa Rodrigo Arturo , Rojas Urrea Alejandro , García Agudelo Lorena
Published: December 2023

Introducción: la cefalea postpunción meníngea (CPPM) posterior a la anestesia raquídea es una de las complicaciones más frecuentes asociadas a factores intrínsecos del paciente y de la técnica anestésica.
Objetivo: describir la frecuencia y los factores asociados con el desarrollo de la cefalea postpunción meníngea.
Materiales y métodos: serie retrospectiva de pacientes que ingresaron a un hospital de segundo nivel y se les confirmó el diagnóstico de cefalea secundaria a la anestesia raquídea.
Resultados: serie de 49 casos, 88?% de sexo femenino y 12?% de sexo masculino, con una edad media de 27,7 años. Los procedimientos quirúrgicos con desenlace de CPPM fueron: cirugías de ginecología y obstetricia (63?%), cirugías de urgencias de otras especialidades (28?%) y cirugías electivas (8?%). La técnica anestésica se realizó con agujas biseladas tipo Quincke calibre 25 gauge (G) en 14?%, calibre 26 G 33?% y 27 G 53?%. El 51?% se realizó en posición de sedestación y el 49?% en decúbito lateral izquierdo. El 10?% de los casos se manejó con parche hemático, en tanto que el antecedente de migraña se presentó en el 8?%.
Discusión: en la actualidad, el uso de agujas con diseño de punta cónica es el estándar de oro, ya que permite obtener resultados confiables y disminuye complicaciones como la CPPM.
Conclusión: la CPPM luego de una anestesia espinal se relacionó con factores como la edad (joven), el sexo (femenino) y el uso de agujas biseladas. Los otros factores de riesgo identificados fueron poco concluyentes, aunque no se pueden descartar, debido a la naturaleza de este estudio.
