Proper brain functioning is responsible for our feelings, behavior, and thinking. However, an injury to the brain can disrupt brain function, which can affect our emotions and behaviors. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can be a one-time severe injury to the brain, or repeated, milder injuries. Scientists have observed that, after TBI, people are frequently sad and have difficulty concentrating. These symptoms are referred to as post-traumatic depression (PTD). PTD can affect school performance and daily activities. It is therefore important to notice any signs of PTD. If signs of PTD are present, individuals should seek help from a professional. PTD is treatable and, with adequate treatment, individuals with PTD can gradually recover their normal functioning.

Published: February 2023

Penetrating carotid artery traumas are rare yet fatal injuries with a high rate of mortality, and survivors may live with neurological sequelae. Of all the types of penetrating carotid artery traumas, the total transection of the common carotid artery (CCA) may be the most serious, can lead to death quickly, and has few reports of survivors. We described two cases of patients with complete CCA transections who survived without any neurological sequelae. The penetrating neck traumas of both patients were confirmed as complete CCA severance by CT and surgical exploration. Case 1 received the insertion of an interposition polytetrafluoroethylene graft to reconstruct the CCA, with postoperative ultrasound and CT angiography (CTA) verifying the total occlusion. Case 2 underwent nonoperative management under close observation and did not develop delayed active bleeding or neurological symptoms. Both patients recovered well, and no nervous system sequelae appeared during the follow-up period. A carotid artery injury cannot be ruled out in an asymptomatic penetrating neck injury. If CTA is feasible given the patient's hemodynamic condition, then it should be used as a routine examination to evaluate cervical vascular injury in patients with penetrating neck trauma. Management for hemodynamically stable carotid artery injuries remains controversial. These two cases of transverse carotid artery injury have caused us to further consider the principles of this kind of case management.

The choice between Basiliximab (BSX) or Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG) as induction therapy in non-immunized kidney transplant recipients remains uncertain. Whilst ATG may allow steroid withdrawal and a decrease in tacrolimus, it also increases infectious complications. We investigated outcomes in non-immunized patients receiving a very low dosage of ATG versus BSX as induction. Study outcomes were patient/graft survival, cumulative probabilities of biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR), infectious episode including CMV and post-transplant diabetes (PTD). Cox, logistic or linear statistical models were used depending on the studied outcome and models were weighted on propensity scores. 100 patients received ATG (mean total dose of 2.0 mg/kg) and 83 received BSX. Maintenance therapy was comparable. Patient and graft survival did not differ between groups, nor did infectious complications. There was a trend for a higher occurrence of a first BPAR in the BSX group (HR at 1.92; 95%CI: [0.77; 4.78]; p = 0.15) with a significantly higher BPAR episodes (17% vs 7.3%, p = 0.01). PTD occurrence was significantly higher in the BSX group (HR at 2.44; 95%CI: [1.09; 5.46]; p = 0.03). Induction with a very low dose of ATG in non-immunized recipients was safe and associated with a lower rate of BPAR and PTD without increasing infectious complications.
Dynamic Ocular Response to Mechanical Loading: The Role of Viscoelasticity in Energy Dissipation by the Cornea
Authors: Silver Frederick H. , Deshmukh Tanmay , Benedetto Dominick , Gonzalez-Mercedes Michael
Published: February 2023

We have used vibrational optical coherence tomography (VOCT) to measure the resonant frequency, elastic modulus, and loss modulus of components of the anterior segment of pig eyes in vitro. Such basic biomechanical properties of the cornea have been shown to be abnormal not only in diseases of the anterior segment but also in posterior segment diseases as well. This information is needed to better understand corneal biomechanics in health and disease and to be able to diagnose the early stages of corneal pathologies. Results of dynamic viscoelastic studies on whole pig eyes and isolated corneas indicate that at low strain rates (30 Hz or less), the viscous loss modulus is as high as 0.6 times the elastic modulus for both whole eyes and corneas. This large viscous loss is similar to that of skin, which has been hypothesized to be dependent upon the physical association of proteoglycans with collagenous fibers. The energy dissipation properties of the cornea provide a mechanism to dissipate energy associated with blunt trauma, thereby preventing delamination and failure. The cornea possesses the ability to store impact energy and transmit excess energy to the posterior segment of the eye through its serial connection to the limbus and sclera. In this manner, the viscoelastic properties of the cornea, in concert with that of the posterior segment of the pig eye, function to prevent mechanical failure of the primary focusing element of the eye. Results of resonant frequency studies suggest that the 100–120 Hz and 150–160 Hz resonant frequency peaks reside in the anterior segment of the cornea since the removal of the anterior segment of the cornea decreases the peak heights at these resonant frequencies. These results suggest that there is more than one collagen fibril network found in the anterior portion of the cornea that provides structural integrity to prevent corneal delamination and that VOCT may be useful clinically to diagnose corneal diseases.
Thermal Behavior of Water in Sephadex® G25 Gels at Low Temperatures Studied by Adiabatic Calorimetry
Authors: Onoda-Yamamuro Noriko , Minato Hiroaki , Nakayama Eiji , Murase Norio
Published: February 2023

Water in a crosslinked dextran gel, Sephadex® G25, is known to remain partially unfrozen during cooling and undergoes ice crystallization during rewarming. However, the mechanism of ice crystallization during rewarming is still unclear. To elucidate the frozen state of water in the gel, thermal behavior at low temperatures was investigated by using adiabatic calorimetry. Heat capacities and enthalpy-relaxation rates of the gel-containing water of mass ratio h (=g H2O/g dry G25) = 1.00 were measured between 80 and 300 K during rewarming, where the gel was intermittently heated at the rate of 50–100 mK min−1. Although an exotherm indicating ice crystallization during rewarming was confirmed with the gel precooled rapidly, at 5 K min−1, it disappeared when precooled slowly, at 20 mK min−1. During rewarming after the rapid cooling, two glass transitions were observed at ca. 175 K and 240–242 K. A higher-temperature glass transition due to the water trapped by the polymer network was not so clear, as it was overlapped with an endotherm due to the melting of small ice crystals, which indicates that the ice crystals formed have a broad size-distribution and that water in the gel is vitrified when ice crystals of even the smallest size cannot be formed.
Edmond Picard and the Congo Free State: A Study in Law and Literature
Authors: White Bryant
Published: February 2023

While the law and literature movement has treated a number of important texts, contexts, and figures from both spheres, surprisingly absent is the situation of Leopold II’s Congo Free State and the person of Edmond Picard. This article seeks to redress that absence, looking first at Edmond Picard as an important figure who represents both law and literature and analyzing a few texts directly related to colonialism in the Congo: specifically, his legal opinion Consultation délibérée and his travel narrative En Congolie. Then, we examine a few examples of Anglo-American literary resistance to Leopold’s project in the Congo before coming to some conclusions. This study seeks to demonstrate the way in which questions of law and literature are inextricably linked: legal texts pose problems common to literary texts, and vice versa. Interacting with the work of prominent law and literature scholars, such as Richard Posner, Richard Weisberg, and Robin West, we conclude that the two spheres ought not to be abstracted from one another, but rather be examined conjointly, the case of the Congo Free State offering a glimpse into how the two work hand-in-hand with real world consequences for human lives.
Embryo Cryopreservation in a Patient with Sickle Cell Disease Utilizing Letrozole and Enoxaparin: A Case Report
Authors: Gunderson Stephanie J. , Snowden Nina , Field Joshua J.
Published: February 2023

Purpose: To describe a patient with sickle cell disease, a prothrombotic disorder, who underwent successful embryo cryopreservation for the purposes of fertility preservation prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Methods: To report a successful case of gonadotropin stimulation and embryo cryopreservation using the aromatase inhibitor letrozole to maintain low serum estradiol to minimize thrombotic risk in a patient with sickle cell disease (SCD) and history of retinal artery thrombosis planning hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The patient was given letrozole (5 mg daily) as well as prophylactic enoxaparin while undergoing gonadotropin stimulation with an antagonist protocol to preserve fertility prior to HSCT. After the oocyte retrieval, letrozole was continued for one additional week. Results: The patient’s peak serum estradiol concentration was 172 pg/mL during gonadotropin stimulation. Ten mature oocytes were retrieved and a total of 10 blastocysts were cryopreserved. The patient required pain medication and intravenous fluids after oocyte retrieval due to pain but had significant improvement at the scheduled post-operative day one follow-up. No embolic events occurred during stimulation or 6 months thereafter. Conclusion: The utilization of definitive treatment for SCD with stem cell transplant is increasing. We successfully used letrozole to maintain low serum estradiol during gonadotropin stimulation along with prophylactic enoxaparin in a patient with SCD to minimize her risk of thrombosis. This approach will allow patients planning definitive treatment with stem cell transplant the opportunity to preserve their fertility safely.

Published: February 2023

Intensive and regular fishing occurs in the marine area of the natural park “Parque Natural do Sudoeste Alentejano e Costa Vicentina” (PNSACV; SW coast of continental Portugal). In 2011, this area became a marine park with different protection levels (total, partial, and complementary). We assessed in 2011 and 2012 if partial protection (PP) in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) changed the taxa richness, abundance, size, and community composition of cryptic and non-cryptic fishes. We also determined if these effects were observed outside PP areas in adjacent control areas. Underwater visual censuses (UVC) of cryptic and non-cryptic fish species were conducted in rocky subtidal habitats (~10 m deep) with band transects (25 × 2 m and 25 × 4 m, respectively) to determine abundance and size classes. The northern half of the PNSACV was sampled at a scale of tens (site—two sites per area; 4–6 transects per site) and hundreds (area) of meters. Two PP and six control areas were sampled. The homogeneity and abundance of bottom habitat types were assessed at each site. Effects of protection were not detected in the community structure or univariate analyses (i.e., taxa richness and total abundance) of non-cryptic and cryptic fishes. The early phase of the MPAs may have driven the lack of significant protection effects. Replication in time within a monitoring program is recommended to assess these conservation measures’ ecological effects.
Methodology for Evaluating the Performance Data of Practical Honeycomb Fairing
Authors: Bodryshev Valeriy V. , Larin Artem A. , Rabinskiy Lev N.
Published: February 2023

The quality criteria for fairing used to protect antenna devices (AD) of radar stations (RS) from environmental influences are the requirements for ensuring and maintaining strength and protective properties with minimal insertion loss of the transmitted electromagnetic wave (EMW). It is important to assess the influence of manufacturing technology on these parameters, identifying narrow critical zones on the product with minimum strength characteristics and maximum EMW insertion loss. Calculation models of the stress state in a three-layer sandwich are presented with the identification of critical places from a given type of loading. A method for flaw detection of fairings is presented, taking into account the influence of the dynamics of changes in the maximum allowable threshold of EMW losses, which is extremely necessary for analyzing the technological process and correcting strength calculations.
Historical Centres, Protected Natural Areas, Communities and Sustainable Development: A Possible Balance
Authors: Bertini Antonio , Vitolo Tiziana
Published: February 2023

The paper illustrates how the recovery and valorisation of protected natural areas can constitute, for the local communities of small inland areas in Italy, a flywheel of sustainable development with beneficial effects for the entire ‘country system’. Through a SWOT analysis and having selected the indicators for the chosen territory, which is the Roccamonfina Volcanic Area and Garigliano Mouth Regional Natural Park in the Campania Region, the characteristics of the area were highlighted as well as all the municipalities that contribute to defining the park area. The methodology adopted was chosen to identify a sample area whose peculiarities are applied and scalable to other contexts with similar conditions. The paper aims to contribute to the debate on the valorisation of protected areas in Southern Italy to promote the enhancement of production potential in sectors such as enhancing ecological quality, agricultural supply chains and projects linked to tourism sustainability. Promoting the role of agriculture, through the valorisation of quality agricultural supply chains and projects linked to tourism sustainability, can contribute to the economic development of Italy’s inland areas. The authors believe that the sustainable development of southern Italy’s protected areas can take place in territories with a characteristic identity based on environmental quality, territorial cohesion and the recovery of food habits. In the absence of adequate solutions, the protected natural areas and the communities that inhabit them risk deterioration, with the consequent loss of identities—cultural, historical, territorial—that must instead be preserved, handed down and enhanced.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex systemic disease that primarily involves motor neuron dysfunction and skeletal muscle atrophy. One commonly used mouse model to study ALS was generated by transgenic expression of a mutant form of human superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene harboring a single amino acid substitution of glycine to alanine at codon 93 (G93A*SOD1). Although mutant-SOD1 is ubiquitously expressed in G93A*SOD1 mice, a detailed analysis of the skeletal muscle expression pattern of the mutant protein and the resultant muscle pathology were never performed. Using different skeletal muscles isolated from G93A*SOD1 mice, we extensively characterized the pathological sequelae of histological, molecular, ultrastructural, and biochemical alterations. Muscle atrophy in G93A*SOD1 mice was associated with increased and differential expression of mutant-SOD1 across myofibers and increased MuRF1 protein level. In addition, high collagen deposition and myopathic changes sections accompanied the reduced muscle strength in the G93A*SOD1 mice. Furthermore, all the muscles in G93A*SOD1 mice showed altered protein levels associated with different signaling pathways, including inflammation, mitochondrial membrane transport, mitochondrial lipid uptake, and antioxidant enzymes. In addition, the mutant-SOD1 protein was found in the mitochondrial fraction in the muscles from G93A*SOD1 mice, which was accompanied by vacuolized and abnormal mitochondria, altered OXPHOS and PDH complex protein levels, and defects in mitochondrial respiration. Overall, we reported the pathological sequelae observed in the skeletal muscles of G93A*SOD1 mice resulting from the whole-body mutant-SOD1 protein expression.
The Problem(s) of Reading 1 Peter after Supersessionism
Authors: Liebengood Kelly D.
Published: February 2023

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the creative identity formation strategies found in 1 Peter, especially concerning the way that the letter appropriates the Jewish scriptures and Israel’s privileges, promises, and vocation. While some find these strategies to be beneficial, others regard them as problematic because they promote a posture of supersessionism toward Israel. Some have suggested that the problem of supersessionism can be ameliorated by noting the silence in the letter regarding the relationship between Israel and the gentile addressees. This silence creates theological and hermeneutical space to go outside of the text itself to resolve the tension. But the move to go outside of the text can create its own problems because of the influential “standard canonical narrative”, which fills the silence and exerts pressure on the reader to replace Israel with the church. This article seeks to demonstrate that the text of 1 Peter itself pushes against a supposed supersessionist posture in part because such a reading is inconsistent with the claims made about God, but also because the implicit narrative in the letter along with the exhortations to distance oneself from a gentile way of life necessitate that the addressees “appropriate Israelhood” without expropriating Israel.

Published: February 2023

The topic investigated in this article is a comparison, contrast, and integration effort of European strategies for sustainable development with the evolving market initiatives that are beginning to fuel the fourth industrial revolution. Several regulatory initiatives from continental bodies come into effect to radically change access to finances for business development, based on sustainability goals, and an analysis of the legislation and trends becomes essential for an effective pivot tactic in the face of adversity, as well as change management policies to pre-emptively adapt and perform. The general research question is “what the strategic tools are best employed to overcome the hurdles laid forth by the drastic changes legally required for a sustainable future?” The research methods include a quantitative analysis of norms, regulations, and legislation, including strategic initiatives circulated in the European Union governmental bodies, integrated with qualitative research of the literature. The study finds and draws synergies between national strategies that have recently been drafted or are currently evolving with sustainability-centric initiatives such as the hydrogen initiative, the nuclear initiative, the natural gas initiative, the renewables initiative, the synthetics, and biomass initiative, the ESG initiative, the digital initiative. The findings are to contribute to the business administration field by providing an appropriate image of the organizational design model in the sustainability era, and a strategy framework to build the optimum long-term vision founded on continental regulatory initiatives that have come into effect.

Published: February 2023

While VR-based training has been proven to improve learning effectiveness over conventional methods, there is a lack of study on its learning effectiveness due to the implementation of training modes. This study aims to investigate the learning effectiveness of engineering students under different training modes in VR-based construction design training. Three VR scenarios with varying degrees of immersiveness were developed based on Dale’s cone of learning experience, including (1) Audio-visual based training, (2) Interactive-based training, and (3) Contrived hands-on experience training. Sixteen students with varying backgrounds participated in this study. The results posit a positive correlation between learning effectiveness and the degree of immersiveness, with a mean score of 77.33%, 81.33%, and 82.67% in each training scenario, respectively. Participants with lower academic performance tend to perform significantly better in audio-visual and interactive-based training. Meanwhile, participants with experience in gaming tend to outperform the latter group. Results also showed that participants with less experience in gaming benefited the most from hands-on VR training. The findings suggest that the general audience retained the most information via hands-on VR training; however, training scenarios should be contextualized toward the targeted group to maximize learning effectiveness.
Oecumene: Repositioning Ourselves in Our Habitat
Authors: Lawrence Roderick J.
Published: February 2023

We should rethink individual and collective positions that promote and sustain the health of the planet and people in an era of increasing uncertainty and unpredictability concerning various threats to our lives and the livelihoods of all living species on Earth. This fundamental rethink is a prerequisite before radical societal change is implemented to respond more effectively to persistent global problems than numerous ineffective responses during the last 50 years. Our positionality, which defines and is mutually defined by fundamental values and worldviews, will influence how we anticipate or discount the risk and threats to our common future. This contribution follows a period of documentary research and personal reflections at the Ecumenical Institute at the Château de Bossey, in Switzerland. The aim was to reconsider a global, conceptual framework that acknowledges pluralism and includes an ecumenic and ecological interpretation of people–environment interrelations. Given that ecumene, economy, and ecology have the same linguistic roots in ancient Greek philosophy, combining them with core principles of human ecology creates an inclusive and wholistic framework for repositioning ourselves using eco-ethical principles and equitable and just values in a world of persistent problems that threaten life on Earth. This repositioning can begin by reconnecting children and adults with natural ecosystems, and three approaches currently applied are included.

Este estudo relata o caso clínico de um paciente, do sexo masculino, sem comorbidades prévias, que desenvolveu um quadro de insuficiência mitral aguda com regurgitação, enquanto estava internado com diagnóstico de COVID-19. Durante a permanência na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) apresentou disfunção cardíaca, que levou a investigação dessa repercussão clínica. O paciente exibiu lesão do aparelho valvar, demonstrada através do ecocardiograma, sendo identificada a ruptura de corda tendinosa (componente A2), que justificou a insuficiência mitral. Após o período de internação e recuperação clínica das complicações associadas a COVID-19, o paciente foi submetido a um procedimento cirúrgico de reparo valvar. Diante do potencial de agressão sistêmica dessa doença, fica evidente a importância da investigação do sistema cardiovascular em pacientes infectados pelo coronavírus, pois, alterações importantes podem existir e se não identificadas e tratadas a tempo podem piorar o prognóstico e aumentar a mortalidade por essa doença.

Published: February 2023

Basándome en los datos de una etnografía realizada con las familias de un caserío rural de los Andes de Huánuco, en este artículo analizo las estrategias que utilizan las familias para apropiarse de los celulares en el marco de las condiciones geográficas y socioeconómicas que enfrentan. Los hallazgos muestran que todos los aspectos involucrados en el uso del celular presentan desafíos para estas familias, desde obtener el dispositivo móvil hasta los relacionados a su funcionamiento, como cargar las baterías de sus equipos, conseguir el saldo móvil y captar la señal. Estas condiciones afectan de manera diferenciada a las familias, a los hombres y a las mujeres, y en el marco de un sistema cada vez más neoliberal que configura la economía política del celular en este caserío. A la vez, los hallazgos de este estudio revelan el conjunto de estrategias que las familias han desplegado para sobrellevar los obstáculos que encuentran. Concluyo el artículo discutiendo la implicancia de estos hallazgos para la educación remota en áreas rurales.
¿Pertinencia cultural o relevancia en la educación intercultural bilingüe? Una exploración de sus significados y tensiones en escuelas indígenas en México
Authors: Cabrera García Fabiola Itzel , Mendoza Zuany Rosa Guadalupe
Published: February 2023

El artículo muestra las significaciones de pertinencia y relevancia, en tanto criterios de calidad educativa, de cuatro tipos de actores educativos en dos escuelas primarias indígenas de la Sierra de Zongolica, Veracruz, México. Asimismo, se analizan las tensiones que producen dichas significaciones en dos niveles: la tensión entre nociones contrarias de pertinencia de cada actor y la tensión que genera priorizar relevancia por encima de pertinencia. Ambos criterios remiten a aspectos subjetivos y contextuales de la calidad; relevancia desde lo global y pertinencia desde lo local. Su integración resulta crucial para abarcar tanto aprendizajes curriculares como comunitarios. Una aproximación etnográfica en dos escuelas con supervisores, asesores técnico pedagógico, docentes, alumnos, madres de familia - que privilegió la entrevista a profundidad, la observación y los dibujos-entrevista - permitió la construcción de datos cualitativos sobre dichas significaciones y tensiones y su análisis mediante teoría fundamentada. Los resultados muestran que las nociones de pertinencia de niños, niñas y madres distan de las nociones de pertinencia dominantes en la política educativa indígena y colocan la necesidad de una educación pertinente que se amplie y complejice hacia ámbitos de importancia para las comunidades, como la dimensión ambiental. La ausencia de espacios de reflexión entre la comunidad y las autoridades educativas sobre los fines de la educación dificulta una conciliación de las distintas significaciones, que impulse a su vez, nociones de calidad situadas como resultado de la reflexión de cada comunidad escolar.
Entre la escuela y los cafetales: la importancia de las escuelas comunitarias del Conafe en la Sierra Sur de Oaxaca, México

Published: February 2023

Frente a las políticas de concentración de escuelas rurales en distintos países del mundo, incluyendo México y otros países latinoamericanos, diversas voces han analizado las implicaciones socioculturales y educativas que esto trae consigo. El presente artículo se suma a dichos análisis, trayendo a colación el papel que las escuelas comunitarias del Consejo Nacional de Fomento Educativo (Conafe) juegan en la vida sociocultural de pequeñas comunidades localizadas en la Sierra Sur de Oaxaca, México, cuyas actividades económicas giran en torno a la producción de café. Este estudio retoma los resultados de dos investigaciones más amplias que se vienen realizando en la región de estudio desde hace cinco años, a través del uso de una etnografía educativa, con enfoque histórico, que abarca entornos escolares y no escolares. Los resultados muestran que las escuelas son pieza fundamental para mantener cierta cohesión social, dar continuidad a las actividades económicas locales, fomentar la confianza y participación de los estudiantes, contribuir en el fortalecimiento de la diversidad sociocultural y lingüística e incluso otorgar el estatus de comunidad. Tales resultados alientan a prescindir de las políticas de concentración de escuelas rurales o por lo menos re-considerarlas, tomando en cuenta los casos particulares como el aquí descrito.
Becoming Survived: Action to Eliminate Sexual Violence
Authors: Aditya Baby Jim
Published: February 2023

Sexual violence is an act of rape, sexual coercion, and harrasment, as well as sexual contact with coercion or threat using force. It is timely to consider that sexual violence is discussed in schools and take it as serious issue with empathy towards the victims and not only being considered as women’s issues that can only be discussed among women. Public awareness against it is crucial to be raised. This is important for women and girls as victim of violence to be survivors. These actions should also involve men in advocating against sexual violence. By providing an understanding of how men should behave toward women and listening to the testimony of women survivors of sexual violence of the trauma and its impact on women’s lives, it is expected that young men since early age will have a sensitivity in dealing with sexual violences.

Authors: Arivia Gadis
Published: February 2023

This paper explores feminist pedagogy from the author’s experience, working as both an academic and activist in the women’s movement. The author does not separate pedagogy from personal experiences inside and outside the classroom. Feminist educators have a passion for their teaching and demand change. They demand confrontations and interruptions. This paper is an adventure in self-reflection of how the author’s experience as an activist affect teachings in the classrooms and how as an academic impact the public space. Many changes are needed in Indonesia’s higher education system, one of which makes the campus as a safe place, free from harassment and sexual violence, and diversity in sexual orientation.

Authors: Karolus Meike Lusye , Afiani Isyfi
Published: February 2023

The segregation between men and women in technology as the impact of the assumption that technology is masculine leads to the paradigm that reveals the technology and its use as the man-thing. In this regard, the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is most likely playing the same role toward the paradigm of man-thing. Consequently, many women experience the gender discrimination in the cyber space. We the women are getting less space in using and maximizing ICT. There are several efforts of women in order to take part in the ICT world. This research aims to narrate the women who have taken control and maximized the use of ICT as a tool and media to deliver the message as well as knowledge in order to encourage themselves and other women in the field where they are in. This research belongs to descriptive qualitative research by conducting the concept of cyber feminism as the scoping study deals with how the cyber space is used as the media to encourage women. In result, this research shows that the women are able to take control and maximize the use of ICT under the pressure of social and political construction tied in patriarchal morality in cyber space.
Political leadership in times of pandemic in the Spanish State and Euskadi
Authors: Aleman Eliana
Published: February 2023

This article analyzes the political leadership of the President of the Spanish State Pedro Sánchez in the management of COVID-19 during the fifteen months following the first declaration of the state of alarm and the counterweight exercised by the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) to incorporate the Autonomous Communities in such management. The systematization and analysis of the information obtained from different documentary sources, as well as the legal techniques used by the central government, allows us to identify four leadership patterns that correspond to their respective pandemic management models, shaped, in part, by the action of the PNV. The identified leadership patterns show that, although the pandemic made it possible for Sánchez to demonstrate his leadership capacity, the latter is diluted when he decides in the fourth phase to judicialize political decisions on the pandemic, which means questioning the role of leadership politicians to deal with crises.
Advocating access to justice: Facilitating or gatekeeping?
Authors: Svensson Kerstin
Published: February 2023

Advocacy is one of the central means for supporting access to justice. The social work profession has advocacy as one of its main courses of action. This discusses the components in actions that are considered as good practice for facilitating access to justice in its democratic aspects. More explicitly social workers advocacy for promoting the worth and dignity of human beings in society. Four different ideals in social work are presented, self-help, treatment, philanthropy and bureaucracy. Thereafter, cases presented as best practice from European social workers are used for pointing out the central components described for good advocacy work. These are communication, inclusion and flexibility. Taken together, the aspects all go back to having respect for those in need of advocacy. In advocating for access to justice, it is important that the advocates are actively aware of their own role in a way that their efforts facilitate access to justice.
Complex Public Conflicts
Authors: Godoy Mariana Inés
Published: February 2023

In this article, will discuss the emerging process of Complex Public Conflicts, a new category in conflict management. Specifically, we will focus on the ethnographic analysis of its progressive stateness in the state of Salta (Argentina) based on the experience of its incorporation in the field of criminal mediation. This notion includes intervention in disputes that involve collective subjects such as extended family groups, neighborhood groups, indigenous communities, etc. At the same time, this modality considers public interest and state actors as part of the conflict and as those who should contribute to resolving them, assuming an intervention approach different from classical mediation. We understand that the emergence and permanence of this institutional initiative articulate the growing concern about a certain type of persistent social conflict in Salta (such as the land demands of indigenous communities) with different individual and group commitments and motivations of the mediators with the practice of mediation. All this upgrades a distinctive feature of the Mediation field: its innovation and permanent expansion.

An Analysis of Indonesian Translation of Similes Used In Philip Pullman's Novel Entitled the Golden Compass
Authors: Agoes Farida , Naufal Muhammad Fajar , Koesoemah Nita Henita
Published: February 2023

This research has aimed to investigate the strategies used in translating similes found in “The Golden Compass”. The method applied in this study was descriptive-qualitative. The data for this study were collected from The Golden Compass written by Philip Pullman and its Indonesian version translated by B. Sendra Tanuwidjaja. The collected data were analyzed based on Larson's theory dealing with similes and Pierini's theory dealing with translation strategies to translate the similes. The results show that the strategy of literal translation (the same image retention) dominates the highest rank with 73 similes (84.9%), followed by replacement of the image with a different one with 4 similes (4.7%), the same image’s retention plus explicitness of similarity feature(s) with 4 similes (4.7%), the image’s replacement with a gloss with 3 similes (3.5%), omission of the simile with 2 similes (2.3%). The dominant use of the literal translation (retention of the same image) implies that the translator thought that most images in the similes are familiar in the target language and are not necessary to change.

Authors: Mahesti Diana Az Zahra , Lina Meilinda
Published: February 2023

The research analyzes the translation strategies of idiomatic expressions found in a marketing monograph entitled Marketing 4.0: Moving from Traditional to Digital and Marketing 4.0: Bergerak Dari Tradisional ke Digital. This study aims to identify the use of translation strategies and the most used strategy to translate idiomatic expressions in those monographs. The theory applied in this study is from Mona Baker (2018). The results of this study revealed that the translation strategies found are using an idiom of similar meaning and form (SMF), using an idiom of similar meaning but dissimilar form (SMDF), translation by paraphrase, and translation by the omission of a play on idiom. Moreover, the most frequently used strategy found is the paraphrasing strategy (69.23%). The results of this study are expected to provide a better understanding of translation strategies for idiomatic expressions to the readers.

Published: February 2023

Bu çalışmada kombine güç üretim sistemlerinde, termal ısı iletkenliği yüksek olan cıva, çalışma akışkanı olarak seçilmiş ve alt çevrimde H2O buharı ve R113 akışkanı gibi iki ayrı çevrim kullanılarak cıvalı combine çevrim sistemi tasarlanmıştır. Kurulan sistemde ısı değiştiricilerinde ısı geçişleri eşit, pompa, kompresör ve türbinler izentropik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Hesaplamalar EES (Engineering Equation Solver) programı ile yapılmıştır. Aşırı ortam ve koşullarda sistem tasarımı için sistemler tek başına ayrı olarak çalıştığında verimler, Cıvalı çevrimde %40, H20 çevrimde %30 ve R113 çevriminde ise %35 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Kombine güç çevrim verimleri ise cıva-H2O kombine çevrimi için %58.5 ve cıva-R113 çevriminde ise %61.5 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak yüksek verimli cıvalı combine güç çevrimlerin çöl, dağ, ıssız ada gibi yerleşim yerlerinden uzak bölgelerin enerji üretiminde uygun olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
