При COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) відбувається надмірна активація запальних процесів, в яких беруть участь: стрес ендоплазматичного ретикулуму, сигнальний шлях ядерного фактора-κB, інфламмасоми, інтерлейкін-6 (IL-6) і перетворювач сигналу та активатор транскрипції 3 (STAT-3), Т-хелпери-17 та інші прозапальні фактори. Наслідком COVID-19 є порушення функціонування серцево-судинної системи – пошкодження серця, ендотеліальна дисфункція, гіперкоагуляція. Діабет, інсулінорезистентність та ожиріння є серйозними факторами ризику щодо серцево-судинних ускладнень при COVID-19.
Статини як найпоширеніші препарати, що регулюють рівні ліпідів, показали сприятливий ефект при різних патофізіологічних станах. Накопичені результати досліджень свідчать, що використання статинів пов’язане зі зниженим ризиком прогресування важкості хвороби та смерті у пацієнтів з COVID-19. Cтатини можуть обмежувати проникнення та реплікацію SARS-CoV-2 (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2) у клітини. Вони послаблюють цитокіновий шторм через зниження рівня IL-6 у сироватці крові і модуляцію активності макрофагів. Статини також можуть впливати на ускладнення COVID-19, такі як тромбоз і легеневий фіброз і покращувати ендотеліальну функцію.
Амбулаторне вживання метформіну асоціювалось із нижчою смертністю та тенденцією до зменшення госпіталізації з COVID-19. Той факт, що такі подібні результати були отримані в різних популяціях з різних країн, свідчить про те, що спостережуване зниження ризику смертності, пов'язане зі вживанням метформіну у пацієнтів з ЦД2 та COVID-19, може бути узагальненим. Метформін пригнічує проникнення SARS-CoV-2 у клітини через активацію АМР-активованої кінази.
Враховуючи низьку вартість метформіну, добре обгрунтований профіль безпеки, широку доступність та наявні докази зменшення тяжкості захворювання COVID-19, метформін слід протестувати для амбулаторного лікування COVID-19.

Published: September 2024

O presente trabalho objetiva analisar os impactos da pandemia da Covid-19 no processo de alfabetização na perspectiva das crianças de uma turma de 3º ano do Ensino Fundamental, de uma escola da Rede Pública do Município de Paço do Lumiar - MA. A investigação ancorou-se nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, do tipo Estudo de Caso. Os dados foram produzidos através da técnica de grupo focal realizada com crianças. Os resultados revelaram o retrocesso ou a confirmação de práticas tracionais de ensino da língua centradas na correspondência fonema-grafema, deixando ainda mais à margem as práticas humanizadoras que se ocupam dos atos culturais de ler e de escrever pela via dos enunciados e da consciência gráfica, a responsabilização das famílias pelo acompanhamento e ensino e, de certa forma, da leitura e da escrita.

Authors: Clemilton Alves da Silva  , Dávila da Silva Santos  , Joyce de Sousa Cordeiro
Published: September 2024

As técnicas multivariadas, aplicadas em várias áreas do conhecimento, são amplamente utilizadas em estudos genéticos devido à possibilidade de integrar simultaneamente, múltiplas informações e quantificar a variância de caracteres de interesse agronômico. Objetivou-se caracterizar a variabilidade de genótipos mandioca cultivada no sul maranhense, por meio técnicas multivariadas, considerando dez genótipos e dezessete descritores morfológicos. Por meio da utilização dos diferentes critérios de agrupamento, pode-se identificar a existência de agrupamento natural dos genótipos, em função da similaridade genética do germoplasma avaliado. Foi constatado a existência de variabilidade genética entre os genótipos mandioca estudados, sendo o genótipo Formosa, os mais divergentes constatado pelos diferentes métodos utilizados.   Ademais, com base nos resultados obtidos, espera-se que o cruzamento realizado entre um dos genótipos mais divergentes com quaisquer outros materiais pertencentes aos demais grupos, apresente características de importância agronômica.

Authors: Marília da Silva Cruz  , Leonardo Moreira de Oliveira
Published: September 2024

A medicina veterinária baseada em evidências objetiva fornecer informações validadas ao médico veterinário integrando a experiência do clínico veterinário, as condições do tutor e a melhor evidência científica disponível na tomada de decisão clínica, entretanto é uma prática pouco explorada. Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar o tema auxiliando o aprendizado desta prática. Para isso, foi realizada uma revisão integrativa com trabalhos publicados nos últimos dez anos, nas bases de dados PubMed, Portal de Periódicos CAPES e Wiley Library Online. Obteve-se o total de 1.547 publicações, e ao final da aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão apenas 13 foram inclusos na análise e compõe a presente revisão. Os principais obstáculos ao emprego da medicina veterinária baseada em evidências na rotina são a falha na busca por informações confiáveis e a tendenciosidade na busca e aplicação dos resultados obtidos.

Background

Emergency departments (EDs) are the front line in providing suicide care. Expert consensus recommends the delivery of several suicide prevention evidence-based interventions for individuals with acute suicidal ideation in the ED. ED personnel demands and staff shortages compromise delivery and contribute to long wait times and unnecessary hospitalization. Digital technologies can play an important role in helping EDs deliver suicide care without placing further demands on the care team if their use is safe to patients in a routine care context.

Objective

This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of an evidence-based digital technology (Jaspr Health) designed for persons with acute suicidal ideation seeking psychiatric crisis ED services when used as part of routine ED-based suicide care. This study deployed Jaspr Health for real-world use in 2 large health care systems in the United States and aimed to evaluate (1) how and whether Jaspr Health could be safely and effectively used outside the context of a researcher-facilitated clinical trial, and (2) that Jaspr’s use would be associated with improved patient agitation and distress.

Methods

Under the auspices of a nonsignificant risk device study, ED patients with acute suicidal ideation (N=962) from 2 health care systems representing 10 EDs received access to Jaspr Health as part of their routine suicide care. Primary outcome measures included how many eligible patients were assigned Jaspr Health, which modules were assigned and completed, and finally, the number of adverse events reported by patients or by medical staff. Secondary outcome measures were patient agitation, distress, and satisfaction.

Results

The most frequent modules assigned were Comfort and Skills (98% of users; n=942) and lethal means assessment (90% of patient users; n=870). Patient task completion rates for all modules ranged from 51% to 79%. No adverse events were reported, suggesting that digital technologies can be safely used for people seeking ED-based psychiatric services. Statistically significant (P<.001) reductions in agitation and distress were reported after using the app. Average patient satisfaction ratings by site were 7.81 (SD 2.22) and 7.10 (SD 2.65), with 88.8% (n=325) and 84% (n=90) of patients recommending the app to others.

Conclusions

Digital technologies such as Jaspr Health may be safely and effectively integrated into existing workflows to help deliver evidence-based suicide care in EDs. These findings hold promise for the use of digital technologies in delivering evidence-based care to other vulnerable populations in complex environments.
Digital Interventions for Patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Ren Zihan , Chen Yawen , Li Yufeng , Fan Panyu , Liu Zhao , Shen Biyu
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic rheumatic condition requiring long-term, multidisciplinary treatment, which consumes significant healthcare resources and family energy. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of digital interventions on patient outcomes in individuals with JIA.

OBJECTIVE

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of digital interventions on alleviating symptoms and improving overall well-being in children and adolescents with JIA.

METHODS

A systematic search of five databases identified randomized controlled trials assessing the impact of digital interventions on physiological and psychological outcomes in adolescents and children (average age ≤ 19 years). Outcomes included pain, physical activity, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues. Two reviewers independently screened papers and extracted data on intervention functionalities and outcomes, assessing the risk of bias. A meta-analysis using a random-effects model synthesized the results.

RESULTS

The review included 11 studies involving 885 JIA patients. Digital interventions included websites, telephone consultations, video conferences, applications, and interactive games, with durations over 8 weeks. Compared to conventional control groups, digital interventions were significantly effective in alleviating pain (SMD -0.19, 95% CI -0.35 to -0.04) and enhancing physical activity levels (SMD 0.37, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.69). Marginal improvements in health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues were observed, but these did not reach statistical significance (SMD -0.04, 95% CI -0.19 to 0.11; SMD 0.05, 95% CI -0.11 to 0.20; SMD 0.09, 95% CI -0.11 to 0.29, respectively). The GRADE approach rated the quality of evidence for pain, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, and disease-related issues as moderate, while the evidence quality for physical activity was assessed as low.

CONCLUSIONS

Digital interventions can alleviate pain and enhance physical activity in JIA patients. However, given the limited sample size and high risk of bias in some studies, further high-quality research is needed to improve the treatment and management of JIA.

Key Points

The effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in preventing kidney outcomes in populations at lower risk of kidney disease remains uncertain.

Pooled data from randomized controlled trials show that sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors prevent kidney outcomes across the spectrum of kidney disease risk.

Background

Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown to reduce clinically meaningful kidney outcomes in individuals with CKD at high risk of adverse outcomes. The effect of these agents in preventing clinically meaningful kidney outcomes in populations at lower risk remains uncertain. We aim to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on kidney outcomes across the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) levels.

Methods

We have searched medical literature analysis and retrieval system online (PubMed), excerpta medica database, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception up to August 8, 2023. In pairs, researchers selected large (≥500 participants per arm) randomized placebo-controlled trials of SGLT2 inhibitors, with a minimum duration of 1 year. Researchers independently extracted study-level data and assessed within-study risk of bias with the risk of bias 2.0 tool and quality of evidence with grading of recommendations, assessment, development and evaluation.

Results

We included ten trials, encompassing 78,184 participants and a median follow-up of 2.7 years. Risk of bias was overall low. We performed meta-analyses summarizing individual study hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random-effects model. SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the composite kidney outcome across all KDIGO (HR [95% CI]: low 0.48 [0.32 to 0.71], moderate 0.60 [0.39 to 0.93], high 0.59 [0.47 to 0.74], very high 0.59 [0.49 to 0.72]) and UACR (HR [95% CI]: <30 mg/g 0.62 [0.50 to 0.78], ≥30 to ≤300 mg/g 0.80 [0.67 to 0.96], >300 mg/g 0.61 [0.52 to 0.73]) groups, without evidence of heterogeneity between groups. A small proportion of participants without diabetes in low-risk groups were referred, and there was lack of standardization of composite outcomes.

Conclusions

SGLT2 inhibitors consistently reduce kidney outcomes across the spectrum of KDIGO classes and UACR levels.

Genetic diversity of Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Strains by using RAPD Marker
Authors: A.S. Pawar , Kumar Kunvar Gyanendra , Singh R.P.
Published: September 2024

The term ‘wine’ is applied to the product made by the alcoholic fermentation by yeast in which the sugars are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Genetic similarity was calculated using Jaccard’s similarity coefficient and cluster analysis revealed two major clusters. The diversity at molecular level was analyzed with elucidian distance of 0.40. Out of ten wine yeast strains studied at molecular level, two strains showed maximum similarity i.e. 79 % between them viz. NCIM 3045 and 3200. Genetic diversity was analyzed based on data obtained by 11 RAPD primers. Most of the primers were found 85.71 to 100% polymorphic in nature.
The Dream and Ideological Underpinnings in Gabriele Muccino’s the Pursuit of Happyness
Authors: Sapkota Binod
Published: September 2024

The paper offers a critical examination of the film The Pursuit of Happyness vis-à-vis the American Dream set against the backdrop of 1980s San Francisco during a period of economic instability. Focusing on the life of Chris Gardner, an African American man striving for upward mobility, the film juxtaposes the ideals of rugged individualism and success with the harsh realities of systemic economic and racial barriers. Through theoretical frameworks provided by Louis Althusser, Terry Eagleton, and Walter Benjamin, this study explores how ideology interpellates individuals into specific social positions, reinforcing class hierarchies and perpetuating economic inequality. Althusser’s concept of interpellation is key in analyzing how Gardner's identity and aspirations are shaped by the cultural and ideological structures around him. By critically engaging with the film’s portrayal of financial struggles, systemic oppression, and the illusion of the American Dream, this analysis highlights the ways in which capitalist ideology constrains personal fulfillment and reinforces societal inequities. The paper shows the film serves a broader commentary on the enduring structural inequalities in capitalist societies than just a as a narrative of individual perseverance.
At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations
Authors: Janne Schipper
Published: September 2024

When gazing at the night sky together with someone, it can be challenging to guide the other person’s attention to a specific star or cluster. To completely follow the alignment of the eyes and the tip of the index finger to the object in mind would require us to climb into the other, to see the world through their eyes. How do we know if we have the same star in mind as the person next to us? Are we talking at cross-purposes?

At Cross Purposes, reflections on constellations, comprises three texts by different authors on language, narrative, sign and signification, as well as poetry and anxiety in art.
Changing panorama in risk factors of cerebral palsy
Authors: Dogruoz Karatekin , Icagasioglu Afitap
Published: September 2024

Background/Aim. The etiology of cerebral palsy (CP) is multifactorial and not
yet fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in
CP etiological factors over the past 30 years. Methods. A retrospective
study analyzed a database of 296 individuals with CP. Risk factors (RFs)
were divided into preconception, antenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal.
Patients on the register were divided into three cohorts: those born before
2000, the ones born between 2000 and 2010, and those born after 2010. The
changes in CP RFs were investigated at ten-year intervals. Results. The five
RFs with the highest total frequency were low birth weight (46.62%),
prematurity (44.25%), advanced maternal age - over 35 years (37.16%),
emergency cesarean section (33.78%), and birth asphyxia (25.33%). The
consanguineous marriage rate was 22.29%. Conclusion. Low birth weight and
prematurity rates, which are the most frequently identified RFs, are
gradually increasing. The rate of birth asphyxia has decreased in the last
ten years. The rate of advanced maternal age is increasing, and
consanguineous marriage is still an important RF in Turkey.

Published: September 2024

The prognosis of patients with mycosis fungoides is variable. As the current literature is scarce and shows mixed results this study investigates the incidence of other primary malignancies in mycosis fungoides patients. A retrospective, nationwide, population- based cohort study was performed with patients with mycosis fungoides between 2000 and 2020 in The Netherlands. All histopathology reports were requested from the Nationwide Network and Registry of Histo- and Cytopathology and screened for other primary malignancies. Lifelong incidence rates were used to compare the incidence of malignancies in mycosis fungoides patients and the general population. In total 1,024 patients were included with a mean follow-up of 10 years (SD 6). A total of 294 cases of other primary malignancies were found with 29% of the mycosis fungoides patients developing at least 1 other primary malignancy. Only cutaneous (odds ratio [OR] 2.54; CI 2.0–3.2) and haematological malignancies (OR 2.62; CI 2.00–3.42) had a statistically significant higher incidence than the Dutch population overall. Mycosis fungoides patients have a significantly increased risk of developing melanomas (OR 2.76; CI 2.11–3.59) and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas mycosis fungoides (OR 2.34; CI 1.58–3.45). This study shows no association between mycosis fungoides and other solid organ tumours; however, such patients are significantly at risk of developing other haematological and cutaneous malignancies. Clinicians should be aware of this increased risk.
Fra Israels til palestinernes beste venn?
Authors: Waage Hilde Henriksen
Published: September 2024

Etter 1948 var Norge en av Israels aller beste venner. Palestinernes skjebne vakte ingen interesse. De var glemt. Etter krigen i 1967 forandret disse holdningene seg. Israel var blitt en okkupasjonsmakt. Det palestinske flyktningproblemet var like uløst. PLO hadde også endret politikk, var blitt langt mer kompromissvillig og gikk inn for en tostatsløsning. Like fullt hadde Norge den mest restriktive politikken overfor PLO i hele Vest-Europa. Først i 1986 fikk PLO et informasjonskontor i Norge. I 1989 kom Norges første offisielle besøk til PLO i Tunis. Gjennom hele 1980-tallet var Arbeiderpartiet pådriveren for den nye norske politikken. Den var bygd på det nye tillitsforholdet til PLO og det nære forholdet til Israel. I 1993 forhandlet Norge fram Oslo-avtalen. Norges nære forhold til Israel hadde gjort Norge akseptabel. PLO skjønte også at det trengte en Israel-venn. Men i Norge var det ikke lenger noen sterk sympati for Israel. Det var den norske rollen som gjorde at Norge ikke kunne føre noen demonstrasjonspolitikk og markere standpunkter som Israel fant uakseptable. Først under Gazakrigen i 2023 har Norge hatt en ny pådriverrolle, også internasjonalt, for å få slutt på krigen og få i gang forhandlinger om en tostatsløsning.
Abstract in English:From Israel’s to the Palestinians’ Best Friend?After 1948, Norway became one of Israel’s closest friends. The fate of the Palestinians did not arouse any interest. After the war in 1967, these attitudes changed. Israel had become an occupying power. The Palestinian refugee problem remained unresolved. The PLO had also changed its policy and advocated for a two-state solution. Nevertheless, Norway had the most restrictive policy towards the PLO in all of Western Europe. It was not until 1986 that the PLO received an information office in Norway. In 1989, Norway made its first official visit to the PLO in Tunis. Throughout the 1980s, the Labour Party was the driving force behind the new Norwegian policy. It was built on the new trust relationship with the PLO and the close relationship with Israel. In 1993, Norway negotiated the Oslo Accords. Norway’s close relationship with Israel had made it possible. The PLO also realized that it needed a friend of Israel. However, there was no longer strong sympathy for Israel in Norway. Norway’s role forced Norway to pursue a policy acceptable for Israel. Only during the Gaza War in 2023 has Norway been at the forefront internationally in efforts to end the war and initiate negotiations for a two-state solution.
Norsk Israel–Palestina-politikk i krisetid
Authors: Jensehaugen Jørgen
Published: September 2024

Norsk Israel–Palestina-politikk kombinerer en rekke perspektiver som er i spenn. Overordnet er politikken sterkt konsensuspreget når det gjelder hva man ønsker å oppnå, nemlig tostatsløsningen, men det er et økende sprik i oppfatningene av hvordan man best kan oppnå denne. Gaza-krigen har i sterk grad økt gapet mellom mål og tilnærming i norsk politisk debatt. Debatten slår også forskjellig ut avhengig av hvilket felt man ser på. På det såkalte bistandssporet er den klassiske norske konsensusen sterkest, mens når det gjelder spørsmålet om hvilken grad man skal legge press på Israel er gapet størst. Et sentralt tema i denne diskusjonen er spørsmålet om norsk innflytelse. Her oppstår det et paradoks som er tydeligst hos de såkalte styringspartiene (H og Ap). Satt på spissen argumenterer de for at Norge ikke kan påta seg en ledende rolle fordi Norge vil da miste sin innflytelse og dermed ikke vil kunne spille en ledende rolle. På en rekke felt, som støtte til UNRWA, krav om våpenhvile, økt differensiering, uttalelsen i ICJ, og anerkjennelse av Palestina har dette slått sprekker under Gaza-krigen. På andre felt, som ytterligere sanksjoner av Israel er dette fortsatt et hovedargument.
Abstract in English:Norwegian Israel–Palestine Policy in a Time of CrisisNorwegian Israel–Palestine-policy combines a series of perspectives which are in tension. In an overarching sense the policy is based on a consensus regarding what Norway aims to achieve, namely the two-state solution. However, there is an increasing divide regarding the question of how to achieve this solution. This gap has widened due to the Gaza war. The Norwegian debate looks different depending on which topic one looks at. In the field of aid the classic consensus remains strongest, while when it comes to the question of pressuring Israel the gap is biggest. A core theme in this debate is the question of Norwegian influence. Here there is a paradox, especially for the major parties (the Conservative party and Labour). Norway, so this argument goes, cannot take on a leading role for fear of losing influence and risking losing its leading role. On a series of topics, such as supporting UNRWA, demanding a ceasefire, increased differentiation, making statements to the ICJ, and recognizing the State of Palestine, Norway has shifted as a result of the Gaza war. In other fields, such as the question of increasing sanctions on Israel, this is still a core tenant of Norwegian policy.
Israel–Palestina-konflikten i norske medier. Nyhetsskjevheter og en felles virkelighetsforståelse som forsvant
Authors: Orgeret Kristin Skare
Published: September 2024

Som en av de aller mest betente og langvarige konfliktene internasjonalt, har Israel-Palestina-konflikten sjelden vært preget av en enhetlig virkelighetsforståelse (Heian-Engdal, 2018, 2024; Jensehaugen, 2023; Waage, 2013). Minst to ledende narrativ kolliderer, både i Midtøsten og i mediene rundt om i verden, og påvirker hvordan vi oppfatter nyhetshendelser. Likevel tydeliggjør dekningen av krigen mellom Israel og Hamas i 2023–2024 hvordan det norske mediebildet er kraftig endret. Den norske medie-offentligheten er mye mer oppsplittet enn for et par tiår siden, og den digitale revolusjonen har vært med på å omskape kommunikasjonslandskapet. Hva betyr de forskjellige virkelighetsforståelsene av Israel-Palestina-konflikten i forskjellige deler av det norske medielandskapet, hvordan henger de sammen med et generasjonsskille, i hvilken grad påvirker de hverandre, hvordan skiller norsk mediedekning seg fra nabolandenes og hva sier den om den norske Israel-Palestina-politikken?
Abstract in English:The Israel-Palestine Conflict in Norwegian Media: News Biases and the Erosion of a Shared Understanding of RealityAs one of the most contentious and long-lasting conflicts on the global stage, the Israel-Palestine conflict has seldom been characterized by a shared understanding of reality (Heian-Engdal, 2018, 2024; Jensehaugen, 2023; Waage, 2013). At least two predominant narratives are in direct opposition, both within the Middle East and across international media, shaping public perceptions of news events. However, the media coverage of the 2023–2024 conflict between Israel and Hamas highlights a significant shift in the portrayal of this issue within Norwegian media. The Norwegian media landscape is now far more divided than a couple of decades ago, a change facilitated by the digital revolution, which has fundamentally transformed communication channels. This raises critical questions: What do the divergent understandings of the Israel-Palestine conflict signify within different segments of the Norwegian media landscape? How are these perspectives connected to generational divisions? To what extent do they influence one another? How does Norwegian media coverage compare with that of neighboring countries, and what implications does this have for Norwegian policy on Israel and Palestine?
Hvordan få fred i Midtøsten?
Authors: Eide Espen Barth
Published: September 2024

Hamas sitt terrorangrep mot Israel 7. oktober 2023 og den påfølgende krigen i Gaza, er en brutal påminnelse om at man ikke kan få fred og stabilitet i Midtøsten uten en løsning på Israel-Palestina-konflikten. Skal det bli varig fred i Midtøsten, må palestinerne få sin egen stat. Kun en tostatsløsning vil sikre palestinernes rett til å bestemme over egne liv og fremtid. Tostatsløsningen er også en forutsetning for sikkerhet for Israel og fred og stabilitet i hele regionen. Gjennom våren 2024 har det pågått aktivt diplomatisk samarbeid om behovet for en politisk prosess frem mot en tostatsløsning. De siste månedene har den arabiske fredsvisjonen, som Norge er en sterk støttespiller til, fått stadig mer oppslutning. Kjernen i fredsvisjonen er at det trengs en irreversibel prosess fram mot en palestinsk stat. Nøkkelpunkter er at den palestinske myndigheten må styrkes kraftig, at ikke-statlige væpnede grupper må demobiliseres, at Israel må få troverdige sikkerhetsgarantier og normalisering av forholdet mellom Israel og nabolandene. Norges anerkjennelse av staten Palestina er et konkret bidrag til å styrke en bærekraftig tostatsløsning på sikt, og et bidrag til den arabiske fredsvisjonen. Anerkjennelsen er også med på å styrke de moderate kreftene på palestinsk side. Men før vi kan komme videre med en tostatsløsning, trengs en varig våpenhvile, økt humanitær innsats i Gaza og løslatelse av gislene.
Abstract in English:How Can Peace in the Middle East Be Achieved?Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on 7 October 2023 and the subsequent war in Gaza are brutal reminders that peace and stability in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. If there is to be lasting peace in the Middle East, the Palestinians must get their own state. Only a two-state solution will ensure the Palestinians’ right to determine their own lives and future. The two-state solution is also a prerequisite for security for Israel and peace and stability in the entire region. In recent months, there has been active diplomatic cooperation on the need for a political process towards a two-state solution. The Arab peace vision, of which Norway is a strong supporter, has gained increasing support. The core of the peace vision is that an irreversible process towards a Palestinian state is needed. Key points are that the Palestinian Authority must be greatly strengthened, that non-state armed groups must be demobilized, that Israel must receive credible security guarantees and the normalization of relations between Israel and neighboring countries. Norway’s recognition of the State of Palestine is a concrete contribution to strengthening a sustainable two-state solution in the long term, and a contribution to the Arab peace vision. The recognition also helps to strengthen the moderate forces on the Palestinian side. But before we can move forward with a two-state solution, a lasting ceasefire, increased humanitarian efforts in Gaza and the release of the hostages are needed.

Published: September 2024

In elementary schools, physical education, sports, and health have experienced a decline in students' basic movement abilities, especially regarding running ability. This is in line with the increasing trend of inactive lifestyles among children, which has the potential to harm their physical health. This research aims to analyze the influence of traditional games on elementary school students' basic movement abilities. This research is a type of experimental research. This research uses a true experiment method with a Pre-test and Post-test Control Group Design. The research population was all class V students, totaling 42 students. Data was collected through interviews and tests. The instruments used in data collection were interview sheets and a 30-meter running test. The data analysis technique uses quantitative descriptive and independent sampling t-test differences. This research shows that integrating traditional games significantly affects students' basic movement abilities. Therefore, traditional games can effectively develop elementary school students' basic movement abilities. This research implies that schools should consider introducing traditional games in their curriculum to improve students' basic movement skills while preserving local culture.

Education in higher education is a concern for many parties, especially related to the output of students from these universities. Various problems arise in the process of producing student outcomes that are by the demands of the times. The results in the form of student achievement and performance are very helpful for universities to reach their goals. Development, acceleration, and improvement of human resource output are the main concerns, especially in the Galileo College of Economics (STIE). This research focuses on student satisfaction, commitment, and performance. This research is a quantitative study involving 185 students as respondents. The purpose of this study is to see the comparison of satisfaction, commitment, and performance between male and female students. The research data was collected using a questionnaire, and processed with Amos SEM statistics. The results of the multi-group comparative analysis show that there is a positive and significant influence between satisfaction, commitment, and performance of women and men. The findings in this study found that satisfaction with women's performance is the same and insignificant. For this reason, the campus needs to pay attention to student satisfaction, commitment, and performance. For future research, it is necessary to consider other variables not examined in this study, such as the environment, and comparisons between students in universities. In conclusion, achievement is the result of work that a person achieves both in terms of quality and quantity in doing work by the responsibilities given to him.

Students need help with ideas and writing simple sentences in French according to the correct rules. In addition, the learning media used are still dominated by conventional methods such as printed books and sheets of paper, which are less exciting and do not support the learning process effectively. This study aims to design project-based learning (PjBL)-assisted Kodular e-module for French Production Écrite Débutante (writing for beginners). The research method used the Research and Development (R&D) method of the ADDIE model. The subjects involved in this study were 16 students. The data collection methods used were observation and questionnaires. The instrument used was a questionnaire sheet. After the data was collected, it was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods. The results showed that the E-Module that had been developed was adequate for beginners to use in learning French writing. Thus, it can be concluded that the E-Module that has been created is feasible and effective for beginners to use in learning French writing. The use of e-modules assisted by Codular application in learning writing based on Project Based Learning (PjBL) can be an innovative solution to improve students' writing skills.

Reposicionamento Social ou Estratégia Mercadológica?
Authors: Moura Amanda dos Santos
Published: September 2024

Neste artigo, refletimos sobre como as demandas do público e do mercado refletem e, muitas vezes, transformam os discursos publicados na conta do Instagram da revista feminina brasileira Glamour. Para tal, pensamos como esses discursos são apresentados, e se reforçam ou refutam outros já existentes em uma sociedade estruturalmente racista (ALMEIDA, 2018), como a brasileira. Consideraremos especificamente as postagens dessa publicação no Dia da Consciência Negra, 20 de novembro, no ano de 2021. E analisamos a atuação da mídia em relação a questões relacionados à raça, racismo e gênero, considerando, principalmente, os conceitos de performance (AMARAL; SOARES; e POLIVANOV, 2018); “capital solidário” (CAMPANELLA, 2014); e “coerência expressiva” (SÁ e POLIVANOV, 2012).

Published: September 2024

Las profundas transformaciones estructurales del mercado laboral –ya sean tecnológicas, organizacionales, asociadas a la producción y al medioambiente, o incluso a nuevas modalidades atípicas de actividad, empleo o a la disminución de la seguridad y los derechos laborales (Mercure y Vultur, 2019)–, cuestionan el modelo dominante de empleo, en tanto norma social y estadística, su impacto, su significado para los individuos, pero también las categorías administrativas, institucionales y políticas que las abordan. Este artículo se focaliza en la categoría NINI, “ni estudian ni trabajan”, utilizada para caracterizar la situación de jóvenes al margen de las actividades generalizadas de empleo y educación durante esta etapa de la vida. Por su heterogeneidad y vaguedad, dicha categoría constituye un caso paradigmático para comprender las transformaciones estructurales del mercado de trabajo, reflejadas tanto en las trayectorias sociolaborales y educativas de dichos y dichas jóvenes, en la resistencia subjetiva a las normas de empleo que las mismas revelan, y en los desafíos que la categorización de esas trayectorias crean a las políticas públicas y al conocimiento. Los resultados provienen de una investigación cualitativa realizada con 81 jóvenes de 17 a 34 años que viven en Quebec (Canadá) y que han experimentado al menos un período NINI de un año o más. Los mismos ponen en evidencia las trayectorias biográficas, actividades, decisiones, dificultades y desigualdades sociales que las atraviesan, permeables a una multiplicidad de cambios en el empleo, que contrasta con la visión estática, binaria y negativa impuesta a través de la categoría NINI.
Ni autónomos ni dependientes: la hibridez de las y los trabajadores de plataformas de trabajo en Argentina
Authors: Longo Julieta , Fernández Massi Mariana
Published: September 2024

Estas notas presentan reflexiones surgidas a partir de nuestras investigaciones en torno a cómo y para qué se utilizan las plataformas de trabajo en la Argentina, a partir del análisis de tres actividades: reparto, servicios virtuales calificados y microtareas. Buscaremos responder dos preguntas: ¿se trata de trabajos autónomos o dependientes? ¿cómo articulan estos trabajadores los ingresos generados en las plataformas con otras fuentes de ingresos? Sostenemos aquí que estos trabajos desafían las formas tradicionales de abordar el mundo del trabajo, pues se trata de empleos híbridos, que muchas veces se enmarcan en situaciones laborales también híbridas.

Published: September 2024

В статье рассмотрено восстановление ширины годичного слоя и формирование базисной плотности древесины сосны обыкновенной в насаждении, пройденном подсочкой. По образцам древесины определяли её базисную плотность и изучали динамику радиального прироста с его последующей индексацией. Полученные количественные данные обрабатывали методами вариационной статистики. Установлено влияние ширины зоны поздней ксилемы на плотность древесины, показано снижение вариации показателей прироста за 40-летний период после подсочки по сравнению с 20-летним периодом. У наиболее крупных деревьев после подсочки прирост относительно модельных значений кривой хода роста восстановился быстрее, чем у деревьев более мелких ступеней толщины.

The article considers the recovery of annual growth width after resin harvesting and the formation of basic wood density of a plantation of common pine passed by felling. Its basic density was determined for the samples of wood and the dynamics of wood growth was studied with its indexation. The obtained quantitative data were processed by methods of variation statistics. The influence of the width of the late xylem zone on wood density was established, and a decrease in the variation of growth indices for the period of 40 years after resin harvesting relative to the period of 20 years was shown. For the largest tree thickness classes, growth relative to model values of the growth progress curve recovered faster after resin harvesting than for trees of smaller thickness stages.
