Representaciones de la flor de cactus san Pedro (trichocereus spp.) y la planta Anadenanthera colubrina en tejidos wari y arte el Tiwanaku
Authors:   Art History Department, Emory University, Stone Rebecca R.
Published: July 2023

El san Pedro (Trichocereus spp.), un cactus rico en mezcalina, y la Anadenanthera colubrina (vilca en kichwa), son plantas enteógenas (cosas que nos llevan a lo divino) prominentes en el arte andino. Este artículo explora la flor que corona este cactus (de diez pulgadas de ancho) y las numerosas variantes de este motivo exhibidas en 64 textiles wari. Las representaciones artísticas de la flor corresponden estrechamente con sus partes botánicas, su botón (que contiene ovario/óvulo/semillas) más su punta central vertical (estilo, estigma) flanqueada por tallos con puntas (filamentos, anteras). La revelación de estos componentes interiores evoca de forma abstracta la flor en plena floración. Este motivo es asignado a partes del portador de báculo (renombrado ser en transformación), incluyendo el elemento ocular y las emanaciones auditivas y de vocalización. Así, transmiten la experiencia de trance multisensorial del ser en transformación catalizada por la ingesta de chicha de san Pedro. Las imágenes del cactus son emparejadas sistemáticamente, e incluso fusionados, con motivos de la flor y las hojas de la vilca, a los que añado la corteza del árbol dentada. Este emparejamiento de las dos plantas sagradas proclama un poder visionario específico de las tierras altas y sugiere que estas plantas fueron consumidas ritualmente de manera simultánea, incluso mezclándolas.
Etnografía, chamanismo y el arte rupestre del lejano oeste norteamericano
Authors:   ASM Affiliates, Tehachapi, California, Whitley David S.
Published: July 2023

Resumen (en el idioma principal de la revista): El lejano oeste norteamericano tiene un registro etnográfico muy detallado que incluye aspectos significativos acerca del chamanismo y su relación con el arte rupestre. Se resume aquí la evidencia etnográfica de tres áreas culturales (California, Gran Cuenca y Meseta de Columbia-Fraser). Dicha evidencia demuestra vínculos generalizados entre el arte y la representación de experiencias visionarias, consideradas como signos de la adquisición de poderes sobrenaturales. La etnografía muestra también diferencias sustanciales en el origen de este arte, especialmente con respecto a los grupos sociales y los rituales responsables de su creación, así como su relación con la mitología. Del mismo modo, la etnografía ilustra que diferentes estilos de arte rupestre fueron creados en ocasiones por diversos grupos sociales para variadas funciones dentro de la misma cultura y período. En este sentido, el chamanismo ofrece un contexto en el cual el arte rupestre puede ser analizado e interpretado, pero no es una explicación definitiva de su presencia.
Etnografía poética de los cazadores invisibles/cinegética de huillines & chungungos en isla Huichas, Patagonia Occidental Insular
Authors: Olivares Toledo Juan Carlos
Published: July 2023

Este artículo está escrito en modo de Antropología Poética & busca entregar atmósferas & evocaciones acerca del estilo de vida de los cazadores de nutrias o “gatos” en Patagonia Occidental Insular, preferentemente durante el transcurso de la segunda mitad del Siglo XX. No tiene otro horizonte no sea el describir los recuerdos de los cazadores respecto de su trabajo & su relación con la naturaleza, como fondo de escenario.  Es simplemente un descriptor, un encadenamiento de “recortes” o fragmentos discursivos de antiguos cazadores que todavía habitan Puerto Aguirre, Estero Copa & Caleta Andrade en isla Huichas.  Es una trama de recuerdos & es importante conocerlos porque durante muchos años han permanecido invisibles a las miradas de los Antropólogos/Etnógrafos. Son unos Otros silenciosos, ocultos en las mareas no sólo del tiempo cósmico, sino también de las aguas de la Historia. A través de la poética, este artículo es un profundo gesto de reparación.

Creation of Bell-like state by a nonlinear quantum scissors interactive with two external coherent fields
Authors:   Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology, The University of Danang, Vietnam, Quoc Khoa DOAN
Published: July 2023

The study described in this paper focuses on a model featuring two nonlinear oscillators, which are stimulated by two external coherent fields, and are referred to as a nonlinear quantum scissors (NQS). To analyze the system's evolution, the NQS method for quantum state engineering was applied, leading to the discovery of a wave function that comprises a composite of n-photon states. Through the implementation of NQS, the system's optical states undergo a truncation process, resulting in the production of two-qubit states that can be achieved due to the oscillators' nonlinear characteristics and their interaction. As the system evolves, maximally entangled states referred to as Belllike states are created.

Authors: JUNQUEIRA-GONCALVES Maria Paula , GENÇ Mahmut , GENÇ Seda , MAJUMDAR Anne
Published: July 2023

Objective: Mental health problems among university students are an emergent public health issue and prevention is crucial. Dietary interventions are currently being investigated as additional treatment options for mental illness. This work aimed (i) to measure and correlate the general status of physical-mental health and diet habits of undergraduate students (n=164, 96 females and 68 males) from different universities, in England and Türkiye; (ii) to develop a specific questionnaire to measure their knowledge on nutrition for mental health (as only general nutrition knowledge questionnaires were available), and (iii) to identify barriers for healthier food choices and sustainable behavioural changes.

Materials and methods: The study was based on a cross-sectional survey. Undergraduate students were invited by email and their participation was voluntary and anonymous. Values were expressed as means and standard deviation. A significance level of 0.05 was set.

Discussion and conclusion: The results showed that more than 1/3 presented a medium to a high level of somatization symptoms while more than 1/4 presented a moderate to severe level of anxiety and depression. Moreover, results showed a significant negative correlation between nutritional knowledge with physical status, anxiety and depression level and a significant positive correlation with adherence to the Mediterranean diet. Cost, time, convenience and no healthy options on campus canteens/restaurants were the main reported barriers against a healthier diet. Most of the students showed poor nutritional knowledge on how nutrition may impact mental health, but a high interest in learning about nutrition to improve their physical and mental health. Nutrition education and the support of a nutritional team may be alternative tools at the universities to help students manage their anxiety/depression, general health status and academic performance.

ABSTRACT Field experiments were carried out from August, 2011 to December, 2011 to study the field efficacy of bio-pesticides against Spodoptera litura on Gloriosa superba. Results of the field experiments revealed that among the treatments, flavonoids recorded superiority in the management of S. litura starting from 3rd day after treatment and it was statistically on par with the standard chemical check, quinalphos. Pungam oil 3% was next in the order of efficacy, followed by neem oil 3% and NSKE 5%. Efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) at 2 ml/lit was realized only at seven days after treatment and persisted even after 14 days of second spray. Fourteen days after treatment, Bt was next in the order of efficacy after chemical pesticides and flavonoids. From the findings of the field trials, flavonoids showed the best in control of S. litura compared with the tested agents. We recommend flavonoid to be the alternative to chemical pesticides in gloriosa eco-system and to be used as one of the components in organic pest management.

Long-term care services for the elderly are service programs that take care of the elderly using human resources. In particular caregivers play a key role in determining the quality of long-term care services for the elderly in that they plan physical mental and psychological care of the elderly and provide systematic and final services based on their expertise. Tn Korea, due to the rapid aging population, the elderly population needing care is rapidly increasing. Despite the net function of visualizing social effects, accident rates are high in falls, bedsores and fust aid. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically manage and prevent elderly care by strengthening the long-term service and professionalism of the nw·sing caregiver who is the core personnel of elderly care. Therefore, this study empirically analyzed the effect of welfare and job satisfaction on turnover intention of elderly nursing homes. Hypothesis H1 is partially adopted. First, funding had no significant effect on job satisfaction. Second, cultural support had a significant effect on job satisfaction. Third, life support had a significant effect on job satisfaction. Fourth, facility support had a significant effect on job satisfaction. Fifth, health support had no significant effect on job satisfaction. Hypothesis H2 was adopted. Sixth, job satisfaction had a significant effect on reducing the intention to turnover.

Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Jung Chae-Young
Published: July 2023

Social responsibility should not be limited to the economic role of a company. By considering and addressing their social role, companies can contribute to the society they belong to, and this social responsibility of companies is becoming essential rather than being a choice of stakeholders. Companies seek alternatives to the root of social problems through their social responsibility. Through efforts to think about and solve these social roles, they are becoming essential for their companies to contribute to society and not just an optional choice for stakeholders. The essence of CSR is to observe the flow of new market society based on basic values such as social justice, environment, and human rights and expand businesses. This study aims to systematically investigate the relationship between social responsibility activities of companies and their impact on trust and sustained behavioral changes. To achieve the research objective, a survey was conducted among consumers interested in social responsibility activities, and SPSS 23.0 and Smart PLS 4.0 were used for hypothesis testing. The summary of the research results is as follows: all elements of social responsibility had an impact on trust. Firstly, economic responsibility had a significant impact on trust. Secondly, legal responsibility had a significant impact on !Just. Thirdly, ethical responsibility had a significant impact on trust. Fourthly, charitable responsibility had a significant impact on trust. Fifthly, environmental responsibility had a significant impact on trust. Lastly, trust had a significant impact on sustained behavioral changes. Through this study, companies should establish a systematic management plan and strategic planning to secure market competitiveness through social responsibility activities.

Authors:   Global Convergence Research Academy, Zhao Yanwei , Choi Tae-Yeong
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we examine the effects of ESG(corporate environmental, social and governance) on firm petformance and financial risk. We choose China's A-share manufacturing firms listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. Sample span covers January 2010 to December 2020. We obtain the financial data from the online CSMAR DB and Wind DB. Using panel data, we employ panel regression analysis. We choose Tobin's Q and Altrnan's Z-score as dependent variables to calculate firm performance and financial risk. We select the popular Bloomberg ESG composite score as independent variable to measure the corporate ESG. In addition, we add six control variables, namely, firm size, growth, book-to-market value ratio, rate of return, annual and industry dummy variables. We find that the ESG not only improve firm perfonnm1ce but also reduce film's financial risk. These findings are largely consistent with prior studies. This paper has at least two limitations due to sample collection difficulty. First, we use only the manufacturing industry data for empirical analysis. Second, we include only the state-owned firms in the sample, excluding the private manufacturing industry. In the future studies, we hope to overcome these limitations of this paper.
The Inflammatory Dilemma: A Unique Case of Ocular Sarcoidosis and The Road to Diagnosis and Management
Authors: Desai Harsida , Shenouda-Awad Nancy
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory condition that affects several organ systems. The eye is affected in approximately 30-60% of people with sarcoidosis, with uveitis being the most frequent ocular manifestation.1 The diagnosis of ocular sarcoidosis in the absence of systemic manifestations is challenging due to it mimicking other uveitic conditions, and lab work often being non-specific.

Case Report

A 38-year-old African American male presented with a chief complaint of blurry vision and a sensation of pressure behind his left eye, denying pain. Bilateral anterior non-granulomatous uveitis was diagnosed and treated accordingly. The patient had several episodes of recurrent uveitis prompting a full infectious and inflammatory work-up. He subsequently suffered from systemic-related symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with sarcoidosis based on lung biopsy and neuroimaging. Ocular history, imaging, lab-work, and a multidisciplinary approach was used to confirm the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.

Conclusion

Sarcoidosis is a condition which predominantly affects the lungs and can have extrapulmonary manifestations. Any part of the eye and adnexa can be involved either in isolation or simultaneously, with uveitis being the most common manifestation. The goal of treatment of sarcoid associated uveitis is controlling the inflammation to prevent permanent ocular damage and vision reduction sequelae. Patients with ocular sarcoidosis should be monitored by their primary care doctor and referred to the appropriate specialties for possible systemic manifestations.
ALCOHOLIC LIVER DISEASE: ISSUES OF ETIOLOGY AND THE IMPACT OF RISK FACTORS (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Authors: Stepanenko Daria A.
Published: July 2023

Alcohol consumption is one of the main causes leading to chronic liver disease. Alcoholic liver disease is a set of cascading events, consisting first of alcoholic hepatic steatosis and then mainly through alcoholic steatohepatitis, leading to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. This review considers chronic alcohol intoxication as the main factor in the development of liver disease. Modern data on the prevalence of forms of alcoholic liver damage in Russia and in the world are presented. The role of the consumed dose of ethanol, the nature of the alcoholic beverage, as well as the pattern of alcohol consumption in the formation of liver damage is assessed, predisposing factors are presented. The leading risk factors for alcoholic liver damage are: female gender, hereditary predisposition (ethnicity), trophological status (underweight or obesity), taking certain hepatotoxic drugs, the amount and duration of alcohol consumption and the type of alcohol consumed, smoking. The presence of concomitant viral hepatitis, environmental toxico-ecological influence and prenatal intoxication also predispose to alcoholic liver damage. The article provides a detailed assessment of the role of the presented risk factors in the development of alcoholic liver damage. However, it is not possible to identify the dominant risk factor for alcoholic liver damage, since the development of liver pathology directly depends not only on the amount of alcohol consumed, but also on the individual combination of predisposing factors. Understanding the etiology of the disease and the contribution of modifiable risk factors to its development will allow the development of effective strategies aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality from liver diseases.
Nationales Recht als terra incognita?

On the basis of a presentation and interpretation of the characteristic of mutual sanctionability in enforcement assistance, this work deals with a sub-area of a dark and (from a criminal law perspective) still poorly- dealt chapter of Chilean-German history: the Colonia Dignidad or Villa Baviera and the (possible) enforcement of a Chilean criminal judgment for aiding and abetting of sexual crimes committed in Chile. In this context, comprehensive, critical evaluations of relevant decisions of the Krefeld Regional Court and the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court are made from the perspectives of criminal execution law, substantive criminal law, and procedural law.
Baccanti ebbre e ninfomani tra la fine della Repubblica e la prima età imperiale
Authors: Ferrara Pasquale
Published: July 2023

Maenads in pop culture are usually women with a strong eroticism, distinguished by sexual addiction and pure lust, malice, and murders. However, the maenads in Ancient Greek iconography and drama were completely different, not connected to the sexual sphere or to the manipulation of men. Ancient Greek maenads preserve their chastity, and their task is to honor Dionysus with dances and rites. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the common thread that has led to this contemporary sexual and gloomy distinctive characterization of maenads in modern media and to understand where this dark vision of maenadism comes from. The stages on this journey through times past are the Bacchanalia scandal (186 B.C.), the black legend of Messalina, some cases of Christian condemnations, and the conception of maenads during the Renaissance and Victorian Hellenism.
Periodization of art and literature : a historical perspective
Authors: Pavera Libor
Published: July 2023

The author of the paper deals with a basic question – what is the history of literature? As a rule, the history of literature belongs to the basic books of the field, they are the starting point for the study of the younger generations of literary scholars, and they are used by the general public to teach and get ideas about the history in the field of literature and folklore. How is the material periodized? How is history interpreted? Is it all about concepts and opinions? He asks questions and tries to find answers. He also notes the division of history into smaller sections, the so-called periodization of history. From this perspective, literary history is a period in which literature is divided based on social, cultural, and artistic changes. The periodization of literary history differs according to geographical location and historical period, but also according to the type of thinking (such as Chinese cyclical repetition of the Yin-Yang pattern of Taoist philosophy) or according to a specific genre (such as Japanese classification based on the development of the haiku genre).
Gene Editing Technologies, Utopianism, and Disability Politics
Authors: Knight Amber ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2023

Scholars have long speculated about what a future affected by gene editing technologies might hold. This article enters current debates over the future of gene editing and the place of disability within it. Specifically, I evaluate contemporary utopian thinking about gene editing found in two different schools of thought: transhumanism and critical disability studies, ultimately judging the latter to be richer and more politically promising than the former. If we take it as our goal to protect and promote future people’s autonomy interests, I argue that current political efforts should be directed toward modifying ableist environments rather than employing genetic technologies to avoid disability or enhance capacity. The article concludes by drawing from disability justice scholarship to make the case that the “right to an open future” should be understood as the “right to an accessible future,” one wherein society is “open” to people with diverse genetic traits and capacities.
A Critical Appraisal of Compliance with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017
Authors: Olujimi Oluseye Judes , Eniola Bolanle Oluwakemi
Published: July 2023

Aim: The practice of demanding police report before gunshot injury victims receive medical care in Nigeria has led to needless loss of life in several instances. The practice stems from the (mis)application of the Robbery and Firearms (Special provision) Act 1984. Thus, the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017 was enacted to mandate expedite medical treatment for gunshot victims without demand for police report.

Methods: Adopting the doctrinal research methodology, this paper assessed the legacy of the Robbery and Firearms Act on the treatment of gunshot injury victims. It equally examined medical practitioners’ level of compliance with the provisions of the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017 and the legal implication of non-compliance, while highlighting remedial options available under the law.

Results: The study found that despite the provisions of the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017, gunshot victims are still haunted by the ghost of the Robbery and Firearms (Special Provision) Act. Medical practitioners are still uneasy about the treatment of gunshot casualties without police reports due to apprehension about police harassment.

Conclusion: This paper concludes that the lack of publicity about the current realities of the law and lack of coordination between medical practitioners, police officers and other key stakeholders is responsible for non-compliance with the Act.

Recommendation: The study therefore recommends the need for enforcement of professional and penal sanctions against erring medical practitioners who fail to provide expedite medical treatment for gunshot injury victims.
Unlocking the Potential of Autism Detection: Integrating Traditional Feature Selection and Machine Learning Techniques
Authors: Hazim Hammed Samar , Albahri A.S.
Published: July 2023

The diagnostic process for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) typically involves time-consuming assessments conducted by specialized physicians. To improve the efficiency of ASD screening, intelligent solutions based on machine learning have been proposed in the literature. However, many existing ML models lack the incorporation of medical tests and demographic features, which could potentially enhance their detection capabilities by considering affected features through traditional feature selection approaches. This study aims to address the aforementioned limitation by utilizing a real dataset containing 45 features and 983 patients. To achieve this goal, a two-phase methodology is employed. The first phase involves data preparation, including handling missing data through model-based imputation, normalizing the dataset using the Min-Max method, and selecting relevant features using traditional feature selection approaches based on affected features. In the second phase, seven ML classification techniques recommended by the literature, including Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting (GB), and Neural Network (NN), are utilized to develop ML models. These models are then trained and tested on the prepared dataset to evaluate their performance in detecting ASD. The performance of the ML models is assessed using various metrics, such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, F1-score, AUC, Train time, and Test time. These metrics provide insights into the models' overall accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and the trade-off between true positive and false positive rates. The results of the study highlight the effectiveness of utilizing traditional feature selection approaches based on affected features. Specifically, the GB model outperforms the other models with an accuracy of 87%, Recall of 87%, Precision of 86%, F1-score of 86%, AUC of 95%, Train time of 21.890, and Test time of 0.173. Additionally, a benchmarking analysis against five other studies reveals that the proposed methodology achieves a perfect score across three key areas. By considering affected features through traditional feature selection approaches, the developed ML models demonstrate improved performance and have the potential to enhance ASD screening and diagnosis processes.

Objective: This study aims to identify possible risk factors and clinical, laboratory, or radiological predictors for COVID-19 associated pneumomediastinum.
Methods: Patients who developed pneumomediastinum under mechanical ventilation (MV) due to COVID-19 pneumonia during intensive care unit (ICU) (Group 1), and patients who died without developing pneumomediastinum during ICU (Group 2) were compared statistically in terms of age, laboratory parameters, medical treatments, mechanical ventilator parameters, and radiological findings.
Results: Group 1 patients were significantly younger than Group 2 patients (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of laboratory parameters except N/L ratios and sedimentation rates (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of dominant infiltration pattern, pleural and pericardial effusion (p>0.05). The incidence of organizing pneumonia pattern, and infiltration of more than 75% of the total lung parenchyma were significantly higher in Group 1 (p<0.01). The rates of favipiravir treatment, immunomodulatory therapy and prone positioning were significantly lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between groups in terms of the duration of ICU hospitalization and MV, PEEPmax, PIPmax and PaO2/FiO2 (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Care should be taken in terms of pneumomediastinum in patients who show diffuse organized pneumonia patterns affecting more than 75% of the parenchyma area.

Desafíos y urgencia en la investigación de las parasitosis en Latinoamérica
Authors: Canese Andrés , Chaves Rodrigues Filho Lairtes , Corrêa Ramos Maria Fernanda
Published: July 2023

Los países de América del Sur buscan desde hace décadas medidas que permitan controlar eficazmente las elevadas tasas de enfermedades parasitarias en el territorio. En 1991, la "Iniciativa de Salud de los Países del Cono Sur (INCOSUR)" propuso el diagnóstico, la gestión y el tratamiento de la enfermedad de Chagas, una enfermedad local común, que requería que las acciones de vigilancia articuladas entre los municipios y el gobierno fuesen aumentadas, principalmente en regiones de frontera, además de asociarlos a los niveles secundario y terciario de prevención, con atención al infectado chagásico. Este tema antiguo, pero al mismo tiempo actual, es investigado por el Dr. Andrés Canese, debido a sus cambios epidemiológicos a lo largo del tiempo, lo cual exige un debate constante, con el fin de democratizar la información y disminuir los índices de morbimortalidad relacionados con las enfermedades parasitarias.  Esta entrevista establece el análisis desde su visión como investigador inserto en el contexto de las parasitosis y realidad de Sudamérica.

Abstract

For several decades, South American countries have been seeking measures to effectively control the high rates of parasitic diseases in the territory. In 1991, the "Health Initiative of the Southern Cone Countries (INCOSUR)" proposed the diagnosis, management and treatment of Chagas disease, a common local disease, which required that surveillance actions, articulated between the municipalities and the government, be increased, mainly in border regions, as well as associating them to the secondary and tertiary levels of prevention, with attention to the chagasic infected. This old, but at the same time current, subject is investigated by Dr. Andres Canese, due to its epidemiological changes over time and demands a constant debate, to democratize information and decrease the rates of affectation and mortality related to parasitic diseases.  This interview, therefore, establishes the analysis from his vision as a researcher inserted in the context and reality of South America.

Religious mass gatherings can foster contagious disease transmission in the home countries of pilgrims. Thailand has two major Muslim pilgrims: the Hajj and the Dawah. This study aimed to compare their knowledge (K), attitude (A), and self-reported practice (P), and qualitatively evaluate their perceptions regarding the prevention of respiratory infections. A cross-sectional mixed methods study was conducted. Multistage sampling was conducted in Hajj participants, while convenience sampling was used with the Dawah participants at two gathering places. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to compare KAP scores between the two groups. We conducted qualitative interviews with 13 purposively chosen participants. There were 111 Hajj and 228 Dawah participants. Most Hajj respondents were in the age group of ≥50 years, while most Dawah respondents were between 30–49 years. Overall, the Hajj group had a significantly higher proportion of good knowledge scores than the Dawah group, with 76.6 and 56.1, as well as the positive attitude score of 97.3 and 87.7. The Hajj group was more receptive to receive health education about respiratory infections before their pilgrimage. Preparatory education classes should be initiated for Dawah Muslims before they attend a foreign gathering event.
