Acute Abdominal Pain and a Whirlpool Sign on Computerized Tomography: A Case Report
Authors: Libby Christopher , Stern Evan , Hoelle Robyn
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Mesenteric volvulus is a rare cause of abdominal pain and bowel obstruction in elderly patients. When a mesenteric volvulus occurs in adult patients, the symptoms are often non-speciﬁc, which contributes to delays in diagnosis.Case Report: We present a case of a 75-year-old female who presented with non-speciﬁc abdominal pain. The rare whirlpool sign on computed tomography identiﬁed a mesenteric volvulus as the cause of small bowel obstruction. She was taken to the operating room and, after successful resection of the small bowel, she recovered and ultimately was discharged home.Conclusion: Early identiﬁcation of a whirlpool sign and early surgical consultation are key to providing the best chance for salvage of ischemic small bowel due to mesenteric volvulus and to prevent a fatal outcome.
Aristotle on Intensity
Authors: Bagby John Robert ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2024

The role of intensity in Aristotelian philosophy is obscure. The problem has historically been approached through his logic and categorical sense of motion. Scholars have largely failed to consider the role of intensity in psychology and ethics, the consideration of which greatly clarifies the situation. To this end, I identify three types of intensity present in the corpus Aristotelicum: comparative, modal, inceptive. I show that the intensity of physical contraries is primary in nature but is different from those found in organic processes. I then show that the intensifications found in life, produced by the soul, are of paramount importance to Aristotle’s philosophy. Inceptive intensity is the backbone of psychical activities: concoction, sensation, pleasure, perception, effort, attention, and self-awareness. I outline two essential characteristics of these intensifications: (1) they imply an intransitive causality that is intrinsic to the entity’s nature or form; (2) that they involve an interaction of many parts which mutually amplify each other so that the whole is beyond (irreducible to) the totality of the parts. I end by comparing Aristotle’s views on intensity to contemporary ideas of emergence: feedback, holism, intentionality, and supervenience.
Force and Persuasion
Authors: Cohen Noam ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2024

Most scholars have not assigned much interpretive importance to the specific use of the term ‘persuasion’ in the cosmology of Plato’s Timaeus. This paper suggests understanding cosmological ‘persuasion’ in conjunction with ‘force,’ another trait of divine agency in the Timaeus. It analyses the nature of intelligent causation in the cosmology of the Timaeus, particularly in the construction of the cosmic body and soul. Then, it gives a detailed characterization of the causation of necessity, appearing in the Timaeus in three different versions, and relates it to the complex notion of intelligent agency. Ultimately, it claims that the cosmic music in the Timaeus, the primary agent of ordered causation in the cosmos, functions on two levels of conflict with the disorder of the sensible aspect of the world.
The Development of Caring Open-mindedness is at the Heart of True Critical Thinking in Philosophy for Children
Authors: Hawken Johanna ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2024

When critical thinking occurs in a collective context such as a Philosophy for Children workshop, it cannot be considered simply as an intellectual exercise, insofar as it depends on social interactions in the philosophical dialogue. This is why, in line with the works of Matthew Lipman, critical thinking should be taught and practiced as an exercise based on the development of caring thinking among children. Furthermore, open-mindedness, defined as the ability of the child to welcome intellectually and ethically divergent ideas, may constitute the very fundamental precondition for critical thinking as it permits the meticulous, analytic and authentic discovery of the idea.
Globalization’s Effects on the Value Base of the Finnish Core Curriculum
Authors: Lehtimäki Maria , Lehtonen Tommi ,   Society for Indian Philosophy and Religion
Published: February 2024

What traits characterize the Finnish Core Curriculum’s approach to globalization? To answer this question, we examine the value base of both the previous and the current curriculum, paying attention to the shift between them. To map the traits, we adopt a two-fold understanding of globalization as something that both enriches and impoverishes cultures and create two perspectives (framings) that view globalization from these extremes. We find out that the aim expressed in the value base has shifted from educating the learner on the diversity of the domestic culture to educating them on intercultural communication skills, paving the way to a supranational culture.

The Critical Role of History after Dobbs
Authors: Mayeri Serena
Published: February 2024

The Dobbs majority’s reliance on a flawed and impoverished ac-count of “history and tradition” to deny fundamental freedoms today may tempt us to despair of appealing to the past as a source of consti-tutional rights or principles. But the problem with Dobbs is not its discussion of history per se; rather, it is how and for what purposes the Court looks to the past. History need not preserve archaic values; it can counsel against past errors and justify affirmative approaches to pro-tecting rights and combating inequality. This essay explores critical roles for history in legal, constitutional, and political arguments about reproductive freedom and democracy after Dobbs. These critical approaches define differently the historical voices and sources that matter; the constitutional principles and lessons to be drawn from the past; and the roles that history and tradition should play in shaping our present and future. Critical histories read the Reconstruction Amendments as a mandate for emancipation and for the eradication of all forms of bodily and reproductive coercion. They elevate the voices of those who long were excluded from political participation and place abortion restrictions in a longer history of re-productive control and anti-democratic political traditions. Critical histories can and do inform the interpretation of state as well as federal constitutional provisions in and outside of court. From courtrooms, legislatures, and campuses to workplaces, street protests, and dinner ta-bles, these histories play a more crucial role than ever in informing legal and political discourse about reproductive justice and the future of de-mocracy.
Importance of ultrasonography in follow-up of multiple breast fibroadenomas
Authors: Stojanović-Ristić Snežana , Toljić Branka
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Regular ultrasonographic check-ups help in early detection and follow-up of different diseases. Ultrasonography (US) is of the utmost diagnostic importance for mammographically "dense breasts", where glandular tissue is predominant, while in so-called "fat breasts" it is less reliable. It is used to determine the solid or cystic nature of a lesion, often tissue characterization, and the Doppler technique could reveal vascularization characteristics of the mass. Fibroadenomas are the most common benign breast tumors in women of all ages until menopause, with the highest incidence between 15 and 25 years of age. The US detects distinctly circumscribed, rarely round or lobular, hypoechoic masses with smooth and flat contours, uniform echoes with posterior augmentation, and marginal echo fading. Case report: We presented a female patient aged 21, who had multiple lesions in both breasts (25 lesions in total). Ultrasonographic exams were performed multiple times, in the last 5 years, and magnetic resonance (NMR) was done twice. Histopathologic verification diagnosed fibroadenomas. The biggest masses were surgically removed four times in this patient. What are the next steps? Are surgical interventions needed again, and if not how should she be followed up in the future? Is the implant insertion eligible for the sake of esthetic correction? Conclusion: Ultrasonography is a very significant and important method of follow-up of breast lesions. Mammography and magnetic resonance are used as complementary methods. According to a radiologist's expert opinions on breast diseases, ultrasonographic exams every six months and NMR may indicate the need for surgical intervention, especially if new lesions are detected or existing lesions are growing fast.

Human Rights And Public Policy Implementation : Narcotics
Authors: Riza Amalia
Published: February 2024

This research discusses the relationship between Human Rights (HAM) and the implementation of public policies related to narcotics. In a global context, narcotics policies are often a source of controversy due to their impact on individual rights. This research evaluates how narcotics policies can affect basic rights such as the rights to life, liberty, health and justice. In some cases, harsh legal crackdowns on narcotics have led to human rights violations, such as arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as the use of force by security forces. On the other hand, some countries have tried alternative approaches, including decriminalization or legalization of narcotics, with the aim of reducing the negative impact on individuals. This research uses a normative approach. The conclusion from this research is that it is important to maintain a balance between efforts to prevent and handle narcotics with protecting individual human rights. Effective implementation of narcotics policies must take into account the basic rights of individuals and seek to reduce negative social impacts. This research underlines the need for a holistic and sustainable approach in dealing with narcotics issues without compromising human rights
FOREST CONSERVATION & ENVIRONMENT
Authors:   Department of Zoology, Govt. Raj Rishi (Autonomous) College, Alwar - 301001, Rajasthan, Soni Kalpana
Published: February 2024

Planting and maintaining forests for the benefit of present and future generations is known as forest conservation. A rapid adjustment in the mix of tree species and the age distribution is another goal of forest preservation efforts. The term "forest conservation" refers to the practice of protecting forests in order to preserve the many valuable resources they contain. Forests are essential to human survival because they provide a wide variety of resources, including carbon storage and acting as a carbon sink, oxygen production (for which all life on Earth is dependent), purification of water, habitat for wildlife (forests are home to half of all species), mitigation of global warming, absorption of toxic gases and noise, conservation of soil, and prevention of natural disasters. However, modern human activities pose the greatest and most immediate threat to forests, including the expansion of agriculture, timber plantations, and other land uses (such as pulp and paper plantations, urbanization, road building, and industrialization). Therefore, raising public awareness is essential. This paper provides a variety of methods for protecting forests and raising public awareness, both of which are crucial to sustaining a healthy ecosystem. This is a national initiative, and we must participate. Keywords : Solutions, awareness, importance of conservation, Forest conservation
Un modelo (y un proceso) de autoevaluación institucional para Universidades: el caso de la Universidad Austral
Authors: Corengia Ángela
Published: February 2024

En este artículo se presenta el modelo, los instrumentos de recolección de información y el proceso (fases de diseño, implementación, análisis de la información, comunicación de resultados) de la segunda Autoevaluación Institucional realizada por la Universidad Austral, Argentina. Es de destacar que este proceso se encaró más como una necesidad interna frente a una nueva etapa de la universidad y no tanto como respuesta a lo exigido por el artículo 44 de la Ley de Educación Superior N°24.521. El Comité de Pares Evaluadores de CONEAU refiriéndose al segundo proceso de autoevaluación realizado por esta universidad señala:

Cabe destacar los significativos avances entre este segundo proceso de autoevaluación y el primero; entonces se detectó “insuficiencia o ausencia de metodologías y/o sistemas de información adecuados” para la tarea de autoevaluación (Informe Final de Evaluación Externa año 2000, p.72); ahora claramente se ha definido y seguido un modelo que ha permitido incrementar información relevante, comprometer e involucrar a mayor cantidad de personas de la comunidad universitaria y, fundamentalmente, le ha dado credibilidad al proceso.” (Informe de Evaluación Externa CONEAU N° 49: Universidad Austral, página 30, párrafo 3).

Si bien ningún modelo ni proceso de estas características es transferible en su totalidad a otra universidad, se considera que el mismo puede servir de “plataforma base” readaptándose a las características de contexto, tipo de gestión, tamaño, antigüedad, perfil institucional, cultura, génesis histórica, etc. de la institución que lo adopte.

Determinants of Financial Inclusion among Women Petty Trader's in Dodoma City
Authors: Ugulumu Ester , Maguja Nestory , Mpasa Oscar
Published: February 2024

This paper assesses the determinants of financial inclusion among women petty traders in Dodoma city. Specifically, the paper examines women petty traders’ status of using formal accounts, formal savings, formal credit, and mobile money accounts and socioeconomic determinants of financial inclusion. The paper employed a cross-sectional research design whereby structured and semi-structured interviews and documentary review methods were used for data collection. Non-probability sampling techniques were employed to select a sample of 200 women petty traders. Data analysis employed in this study included both inferential and descriptive analysis. The result of the study indicates that the majority of women petty traders use mobile money accounts, and use informal savings (save money at home, through VICCOBA/ person outside the home), also they lack enough money for opening/maintaining a formal account. The binary probit model result indicates that age, years of schooling, household size, marital status, lack of required documents, costs of financial service, and income are significant determinants of financial inclusion. Therefore, financial institutions should offer basic or low-fee accounts with a reduced/simplified documentation requirement. Government payment should be conducted through banks to promote savings in formal financial institutions and promote financial literacy, and data on financial inclusion among women petty traders should be collected and analyzed to promote the formulation of evidence-based policy

A study on the cross-over phenomenon of popular Music: Focusing on Chinese variety music programs
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Jin Xi , Kim Hyuntai
Published: February 2024

Today, vocal music is developing together with the convergence of various singing methods and singing forms of different styles. The crossover phenomenon emerged from this phenomenon and formed plural forms such as crossover of singing method, crossover of style, and crossover of gender. In China, in recent years, music entertainment programs have gained great popularity by presenting colorful crossover singing stages. The singers showed a splendid crossover phenomenon with their thick crossover singing skills and representative works of different styles. The crossover of popular music not only has a profound impact on music culture, but also has brought value that cannot be ignored. In other words, this phenomenon greatly expanded the creativity and expression of art by innovating traditional music and handing down classical music with modern techniques while enriching musical culture. In addition, the level of vocal music education was improved in popular music singing.

Authors: Baker Sunderland , Aumiller Betsy , Henao Maria Paula , George Daniel R. , Morales Tahj , Kraschnewski Jennifer
Published: February 2024

Objectives: We evaluated the effectiveness of a community-facilitated, digital application intervention at increasing physical activity in central Pennsylvania. Methods: We employed a game-based digital application within partnership- guided, nature-based programming to
encourage physical activity. Partnerships with local healthcare and park/ recreation entities were established to facilitate recruitment and intervention sustenance. Self-reported psychological and physiological changes were evaluated in a repeated-measures design, contextualized by thematic
coding of qualitative responses, and interpreted via the Park Prescription Theory of Change. Results: Partnerships were formed among 3 local healthcare entities, Berks Nature, and community organizations to conduct the intervention. There were increases in physical activity duration
and time spent outdoors. We identified positive, consistent trends in perceptions of healthful behaviors and quality of life, health satisfaction, and perceived accessibility and barriers. There were low rates of allergies or wheezing. The game-based application improved sentiments of belongingness
and familial engagement. These findings mostly aligned with the Park Prescription Theory of Change. Conclusions: An innovative, cross-disciplinary means to improve physical activity can inform approaches at the regional or national level, as well as guide legislative efforts in public
health, environmental policy, and urban planning.

We investigated the effects of a menu-based nursing intervention using the health actionprocess approach (HAPA) model on patient stress response and postoperative rehabilitation after livercancer surgery. Methods: We randomly assigned 120 patients with liver cancer to intervention (N=60)or control groups (N=60). Intervention patients received a menu-based nursing intervention using theHAPA model; control patients received routine care. We measured physiological and psychological stressresponses using C-reactive protein (CRP) and cortisol (Cor) levels and the Hamilton anxiety rating scale(HAMA) and the Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD). Results: Intervention group HAMA and theHAMD scores were lower than the control group’s (p < .05). Postoperative intervention group CRP andCor levels were lower than control group levels at 1 and 3 days (p < .05). Those in the intervention grouphad a shorter time until their first exhaust and meal and a shorter hospital stay than those in the controlgroup (p < .05). Self-management ability and quality of life scores of the intervention group were higherthan for the control group (p < .05). Conclusion: The menu-based nursing intervention using the HAPAmodel can reduce postoperative stress response and complications and accelerate postoperative recovery.
