“People in Dark Times”: Damaskius on Political Persecution and the Philosophical Way of Life
Authors: AFONASIN Eugene
Published: February 2024

The Neoplatonic philosophers developed a complicated and quite ingenious concept of the grades of virtue, starting with such common human virtues, as the natural, ethical and political, and finishing which those attainable only by the real seekers of the highest truth, such as the purificatory, contemplative, paradigmatic, and hieratic. In the paper I trace the evolution of the Neoplatonic grades of virtue by means of the select passages from Damascius’ “Philosophical History,” which deal specifically with the character of Damascius’ revered teacher. The life of Isidore is presented by his student as an ascent along the path of Neoplatonic perfection, moreover, by chance or not, but in the surviving fragments of this work, which tells about many remarkable philosophers and theurgists, it is Isidore who ultimately attains the last seventh degree of virtue. Possessing outstanding personal qualities and even the gift of the seer, he was a teacher of the Socratic type, most eager to help students achieve the purificatory virtues that alone determine the further path of philosophical perfection. The position of Damascius and his attitude to the philosophical way of life is further illustrated by a series of lively portraits of Athenian and Alexandrian philosophers of his time.

Clay Objects from the Chalcholithic Settlement of Cucuteni -Dâmbul Morii (Iasi County, Romania)
Authors: BALAUR Radu-Ștefan
Published: February 2024

The archaeological research carried out at Dâmbul Morii settlement led to the discovery of 15 dwellings. In their inventory, 30 pieces identified were made of clay. All artifacts that were not plastic representations were included in this category. In this study, we want to make a presentation of these artifacts, and the context of the discovery, to give us a picture of their functionality. Unfortunately, this task is hampered by the low number and fragmented state of the pieces. The artefacts discovered at Dambul Morii can be classified in the category of household items (clay weights, spindle whorls, clay balls, clay tokens), as well as ornament items (beads, clay disc, en violon idol, amulets, etc.). Some of them can also be used in some ritual activities, such as amulets, or clay balls, or for other purposes.
The Highest God and His Oracular Disclosure
Authors: MOGA Iulian
Published: February 2024

The question of the Most High God is very difficult to address from many points of view. First, because of the disproportionality of ancient sources. Most sources are epigraphic in nature, including simple dedications or those resulting from a covenant, and contain rather little information that can be addressed in detail. The literary sources are four in number and raise serious problems of interpretation. The numismatic ones are completely missing from the context in the case of Hypsistos. Moreover, the way the subject has been treated in modern historiography, especially in relation to pagan sympathisers or God-fearers orbiting around the synagogue environment, makes this sensitive issue even more cautious. Finally, the perception itself of the identity of this Most High god, as well as the typology of the cult, its potential unitary character is another thorny issue. Two of the epigraphs discovered in the Lycian town of Oinoanda, that of Chromatis and the oracular response of Apollo of Claros, are, we believe, a very good starting point for clarifying some of the imagological aspects of this abstract and anonymous god.

Authors: MALAXA Daniel
Published: February 2024

The studied fish remains come from the excavations carried out by the Ștefan Honcu archaeologist between 2017 and 2020 within the Argamum archaeological site. The study methodology consisted mainly of anatomical and taxonomic identifications based on archaeozoological atlases, quantification of the data, taphonomical evaluation, osteometry, size and weight estimation, and energy yield estimation. The archaeozoological material represents food waste. The only osteological remains registered with butchering marks was a fragment of a caudal vertebra from Silurus glanis (catfish). The studied material consists of 72 fish remains coming from carp – 28 fragments, catfish – 19 remains and the rest of 25 fragments couldn`t be identified up to species level. The faunal material is dated as follows: second half of the V century level – 9 remains, 4 remains from carp, a fragment from catfish and 4 fragments from unidentifiable fish; first half of the VI century – 17 osteological remains coming from carp – 7 remains, catfish – 8 remains and two unidentified fragments; second half of the VI century were discovered the most fish remains – 41 osteological fragments; late VI – early VII century – 5 fragments, 2 remains coming from carp and 3 remains from catfish. Most of the carp individuals range between 60-80 cm and 80-100 cm. For catfish, most of the individuals have sizes between 220 -240 cm. Based on the estimated amount of meat for each species, the energy yield (kcal) was calculated, the assemblages dated to the VI century being the richest.

Exploring the Barriers to Mental Health Care and Mitigation Strategies in Kenya
Authors: Wakoli Dr. Caroline
Published: February 2024

Barriers to mental health care globally remain a health concern, however, these are more pronounced in low- and middle-income countries. The prevalence of mental illness is approximately 10%. A gap exists between the need or demand for mental health services due to a set of barriers that limit access. Based on this gap, this paper aims to explore barriers to mental health services, treatment and services sought. This might contribute to mitigating them. The barriers include inadequate funds, poverty, stigma attached to mental health conditions, lack of faith in mental health services, high cost of medication, poor awareness, socio-cultural and religious influences and inadequate mental health facilities. These barriers have been shown to affect mental health. After decades of neglect, recent efforts by governments such as in Kenya to address barriers to mental health can demonstrate the growing importance of this issue. Evidence shows that barriers to mental health impacts on mental health in Africa, moreso Kenya and demonstrates that there is need for more contextual awareness and research in this area in Africa to mitigate potential mental health crises in the near future. It is important that institutions and governments in Africa, Kenya to begin paying attention to this emerging threat to the health of the population.
Challenges to the Implementation of Regional Integration in ECCAS with Respect to the Free Movement of Persons and Goods.
Authors: ORANG TANYI George , Gabsa Dr. Lidwina
Published: February 2024

As part of the community’s goals to develop and promote the culture of human integration, the establishment of ECCAS in 1983 was accompanied by an enabling Protocol (Annex VII, ECCAS Treaty) on free movement of persons and goods within the Central African region, with the vision to fully integrate in years to come. The movement of persons and goods without restriction constitute a major lynchpin towards market integration most especially as People are carriers of goods, consumers’ services, technologies, businesses and knowledge and can effectively tear down policy-induced barriers to trade carrying assets. Despite these benefits and mindful of the spirit enshrined in the aforementioned protocol, the mobility of persons and goods within ECCAS remains a challenging venture. This article, therefore, aims at exposing some fundamental challenges that impede the free circulation of goods and nationals of ECCAS’s Member States within the region. Pooling data largely from secondary sources and through a descriptive approach of data analysis, this study argues that the ECCAS’s protocol on free movement of persons and goods is not effectively implemented due to poor infrastructural and communication links within the region; ethnic divide; political instability; the rise of nationalism; hostile relations; rivalry/enmity between central African heads of state; and regular roadblocks within and across national borders. In this guise, it is categorically imperative for ECCAS’s member states to recognize the fact that the above highlighted challenges constitute an indication to deal with them most especially as free movement of persons and goods represents major pillars upon which integration is based.

We are committed to ensuring that every accepted article meets these standards. Being the Editor-in-Chief of JOPR is an honor and a source of great gratitude for me.
The fields of optics and photonics are primarily concerned with the study of light, its creation, and manipulation, as well as its interactions with gases, plasmas, molecules, and solids, including micro- and nanostructures. The optical domain of ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light is much surpassed by the electromagnetic spectrum covered by optics and photonics. Researchers from physics, chemical and biological engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, and other fields are involved in this highly multidisciplinary topic. JOPR draws on both theoretical and practical results in the field of optical science and engineering, without being limited to any one discipline. It is committed to a wide spectrum of fundamental and applied optical research and brings scientists from many domains together. We encourage authors to conduct interdisciplinary research through the application of reasonable modeling or computational methods and experimental analysis.
My goal for JOPR is to create a premier, open-access, highly peer-reviewed platform whose goal is to publish the most significant research in photonics and optics. I'm appreciative of the community's tremendous support in assisting us in achieving this objective.

Published: February 2024

A adultez emergente refere-se ao período do desenvolvimento humano entre a adolescência e a vida adulta, do qual fazem parte indivíduos entre 18 e 29 anos. As principais características da adultez emergente são exploração da identidade, instabilidade, autofoco, sentimento de sentir-se entre a adolescência e a vida adulta e período de possibilidades. Em função das dificuldades e desafios próprios desse período, a saúde mental de adultos emergentes deve ser fomentada. Uma das formas de contribuir positivamente para o aumento e a manutenção da saúde mental dessa população é o desenvolvimento do senso de sentido da vida. Este estudo teórico tem como objetivo apresentar a importância do sentido na vida para o desenvolvimento sadio de adultos emergentes. Para isso, apresentam-se e discutem-se: a definição e a importância da adultez emergente, as especificidades da adultez emergente no contexto brasileiro, as implicações do sentido na vida para a saúde mental de adultos emergentes e os estudos sobre sentido na vida na adultez emergente. Os resultados das pesquisas apresentadas indicam que: a presença do senso de sentido na vida em adultos emergentes está relacionada com processos de crescimento pessoal, autorrealização e funcionamento mental positivo; e que promover sentido na vida em adultos emergentes pode fortalecer o compromisso com a própria vida e proteger contra comportamentos de risco. Considerando-se que a passagem pelos estágios do desenvolvimento humano exige o cumprimento de tarefas específicas, que implicam no processo de transição qualitativa de habilidades para lidar com as exigências de cada estágio procura-se contribuir com o campo da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento, chamando atenção para a saúde mental de adultos jovens. Sugere-se que intervenções que considerem as especificidades da adultez emergente no contexto brasileiro com foco no sentido na vida sejam realizadas, a fim de contribuir para a prevenção e promoção de saúde mental nessa população.

A qualidade do relacionamento conjugal é um conceito multidimensional que corresponde a um processo dinâmico e interativo, de como o casal avalia seu relacionamento. Para tanto, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar os níveis e as características da qualidade do relacionamento conjugal em casais, pais de crianças de zero e seis anos de idade. Trata-se de um estudo misto, transversal, descritivo e exploratório. Participaram da amostra 204 pessoas, as quais responderam individualmente aos questionários: Sociodemográfico, Ajustamento Diádico (DAS) e Satisfação Conjugal (GRIMS), além da técnica de Entrevista Semiestruturada. Realizaram-se análises estatísticas descritivas e análise categorial temática. Os resultados demonstraram a predominância de níveis e características harmônicas dos participantes, especialmente quanto à coesão, comunicação, relação sexual, suporte emocional e rede de apoio social e religiosa. Destaca-se que as discussões presentes possam servir para o desenvolvimento de projetos psicoeducativos, direcionados à qualidade do relacionamento amoroso como um todo.
Violência sexual infantil: o que racismo e machismo têm a ver com isso?
Authors: Machado Lilian Paula de Souza Alves , Francisco Ana Lúcia
Published: February 2024

Intencionamos discutir a violência sexual infantil e compreender de que forma “racismo” “machismo” se articulam em sua perpetração. Analisar tal violência em interface com os dois conceitos permite refletir sobre os aspectos interseccionais dessa questão e sua participação nas construções subjetivas daqueles que a perpetram e naquelas que a experienciam. Tomamos o recurso da escrevivência - a experiência de quem escreve como ponto de partida e, também, de passagem para o compartilhamento de experiências semelhantes. Pesquisas foram realizadas nos sítios acadêmicos buscando mapear e conhecer de que forma a temática vem sendo trabalhada. Utilizamos como descritores: violência sexual infantil, meninas negras, racismo e machismo em suas possíveis combinações. Foram analisados o Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente – ECA e dados do Atlas da Violência 2019 - IPEA e do Boletim Epidemiológico da Violência Sexual contra Criança e Adolescentes no Brasil 2018 - Ministério da Saúde. As análises foram feitas de forma transversal contemplando o objetivo aqui proposto. De antemão e de forma explícita, não foi possível encontrar análises que contemplam o enredamento entre racismo e machismo na perpetração dos crimes de violência sexual infantil. Questionamos: como as questões de raça/cor são consideradas pelas produções acadêmicas? Na psicologia, que leitura temos das relações étnico-raciais? O que os resultados refletem sobre a psicologia e mesmo da ciência? Esperamos que os dados aqui levantados e as reflexões propostas possam trazer luz a um fenômeno cujo crescimento exponencial é dolorosamente alarmante, bem como possam promover aprofundamentos teóricos e práticos para fazer face às questões que se colocam como urgentes e necessárias de serem abordadas.
Pengaruh Kecerdasan Emosional dan Kemandirian Belajar Siswa terhadap Hasil Belajar PAI

Published: February 2024

Banyak siswa cenderung lebih tertarik untuk melihat prestasi pekerjaan teman sekelas daripada berusaha dan mempertimbangkan mengerjakan tugas yang diberikan oleh guru. Kondisi ini menyebabkan keterlambatan dalam proses berpikir dan usaha siswa, yang lebih mengutamakan pengaruh orang lain daripada mempercayai kemampuan pribadi mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dampak kecerdasan emosional dan kemandirian belajar terhadap hasil belajar siswa di SMK Al-Ma'sum Stabat. Metode penelitian menggunakan uji hubungan item kedua, termasuk Uji Ordinaritas, Homogenitas, dan Linearitas. Hasil uji t secara individual menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara X1 (kecerdasan emosional) dan Y (hasil belajar PAI) pada pembelajaran siswa kelas X TBSM di SMK Al-Ma'sum Stabat. Namun, hasil uji F mengindikasikan adanya pengaruh bersama antara X1 (kemampuan menghargai orang secara mendalam) dan X2 (kemandirian belajar siswa) terhadap Y (hasil belajar PAI) di kelas tersebut.

Introducción: Los biocompuestos reforzados con fibras naturales son importantes por el aprovechamiento de residuos biodegradables y renovables.Objetivo: Evaluar el desempeño físico-mecánico de un biocompuesto laminar desarrollado con una matriz de polímero epóxica de baja viscosidad, reforzada con fibras de bagazo de Agave angustifolia Haw.Materiales y métodos: Se elaboraron 12 paneles combinando tres contenidos de fibra (18 %, 24 % y 30 %) con cuatro longitudes (1 mm, 3 mm, 6 mm y mezcla). Se realizaron pruebas mecánicas y los resultados se compararon con un patrón (resina pura). En la interfaz fibra-matriz se evaluaron tres tratamientos químicos (bicarbonato de sodio, vinil triethoxy silano e hidróxido de sodio) y su efecto en las propiedades físicomecánicas; además, se evaluó la hibridación con fibra de vidrio.Resultados y discusión: La incorporación de fibra redujo 15.27 % la resistencia última a la tracción y flexión del biocompuesto; sin embargo, incrementaron hasta 1/3 los módulos de tracción y flexión con respecto al patrón. El mejor tratamiento químico (bicarbonato de sodio) incrementó las propiedades mecánicas de las fibras (dureza [46 %] y resistencia a la tracción [6 %] y flexión [24 %]) y la resistencia al impacto (38 %), mientras que la densidad y la resistencia a la humedad disminuyeron 17 % y 11 %, respectivamente. La combinación fibras agave/vidrio incrementó la resistencia a la flexión hasta 77.3 %.Conclusiones: Las fibras de A. angustifolia tienen potencial para implementarlas en la industria, ya que mejoran las propiedades mecánicas del material; además, su uso representaría una alternativa de manejo de los residuos de desecho.
