Subradiant plasmonic cavities make bright polariton states dark
Authors: Yim Ju Eun , Brawley Zachary T. , Sheldon Matthew T.
Published: March 2024

Nanostructured plasmonic surfaces allow for precise tailoring of electromagnetic modes within sub-diffraction mode volumes, boosting light–matter interactions. This study explores vibrational strong coupling (VSC) between molecular ensembles and subradiant “dark” cavities that support infrared quadrupolar plasmonic resonances (QPLs). The QPL mode exhibits a dispersion characteristic of bound states in the continuum (BIC). That is, the mode is subradiant or evanescent at normal incidence and acquires increasing “bright” dipole character with larger in-plane wavevectors. We deposited polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) thin films on QPL substrates to induce VSC with the carbonyl stretch in PMMA and measured the resulting infrared (IR) spectra. Our computational analysis predicts the presence of “dark” subradiant polariton states within the near-field of the QPL mode, and “bright” collective molecular states. This finding is consistent with classical and quantum mechanical descriptions of VSC that predict hybrid polariton states with cavity-like modal character and N−1 collective molecular states with minimal cavity character. However, the behaviour is opposite of what is standardly observed in VSC experiments that use “bright” cavities, which results in “bright” polariton states that can be spectrally resolved as well as N−1 collective molecular states that are spectrally absent. Our experiments confirm a reduction of molecular absorption and other spectral signatures of VSC with the QPL mode. In comparison, our experiments promoting VSC with dipolar plasmonic resonances (DPLs) reproduce the conventional behavior. Our results highlight the significance of cavity mode symmetry in modifying the properties of the resultant states from VSC, while offering prospects for direct experimental probing of the N−1 molecule-like states that are usually spectrally “dark”.

Authors:   Department of Nursing, College of Nursing, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, Iraq., Mahmood Kazhan
Published: March 2024

Background and objectives: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is fairly high and may interfere with personal and social activities. The current study aims to identify the frequency of experiencing PMS symptoms among students, assess their knowledge and attitude towards PMS and identify their perception of whether PMS has an impact on the academic lives of female university students. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was applied to the current study. An online survey using Google form was conducted among female university students at the College of Nursing/Hawler Medical University. A total of 222 students participated in the current study. A questionnaire was designed to assess PMS symptoms using the criteria of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, students’ knowledge and attitude towards PMS, the impact of PMS on daily living activity and academic performance, and self-management options. Results: The mean age (+Standard deviation) of the students was 20.77 (+1.876) years and the mean for calculated BMI of students was 22.42kg/m2. The majority of students (70.3%) had regular menstrual cycle with 86% of them having moderate amount of menstrual blood flow. More than half (53.6%) of students responded that they experience PMS, and 34.7% responded that they do not experience PMS. More than half (52.3%) of students obtained good knowledge score and positive attitude towards PMS. Around three quarters (70.3%) of the students responded that PMS disturbs normal routine. Getting plenty of sleep (75.2%), taking hot drinks (72.1%), and applying hot pack (59.5) were among the commonest ways of PMS self-management by students. The data demonstrated no statistically significant association between students’ knowledge score and their stage of study, family history of PMS, regularity of menstruation, experiencing PMS, and knowing about PMS. Conclusion: A considerable number of students obtained good knowledge score about PMS, however, their actual knowledge of PMS experience might be

Published: March 2024

Children with cochlear implants (CIs) exhibit large individual differences in vocabulary outcomes. We hypothesized that understudied sources of variance are amount of music engagement and exposure and maternal musicality. Additionally, we explored whether objective measures of music exposure captured from the CI data logs and parent reports about music engagement provide converging and/or complementary evidence, and whether these correlate with maternal musicality. Sixteen children with CIs (Mage = 16.7 months, SD = 7.7, range = 9.6–32.9) were tested before implantation and three, six, and 12 months post-CI activation. Music exposure throughout the first year post-activation was extracted from the CI data logs. Children’s vocabulary and home music engagement and maternal musicality were assessed using parent reports. Analyses revealed relatively low home music engagement and maternal musicality. Nonetheless, positive effects emerged for music exposure on children’s early receptive and expressive vocabulary and for maternal musicality on expressive vocabulary three months post-activation. Results underline the importance of combining automatic measures and parent reports to understand children’s acoustic environment and suggest that environmental music factors may affect early vocabulary acquisition in children with CIs. The presence of these effects despite poor music exposure and skills further motivates the involvement of children with CIs and their parents in music intervention programs.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to identify employee perceptions of employee readiness to implement the core values of BerAKHLAK, analyze the influence of leadership, organizational support, and commitment to the organization on employee readiness to change, and formulate policy recommendations to increase employee readiness to change. The survey samples chosen to be the subjects of this research were TNI, POLRI, and ASN, who had active work periods of more than one year. Data processing and analysis were performed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The research results show that the respondents in this study were dominated by employees aged 46-55 years. Based on the results of Structural Equation Modeling data processing, leadership variables and organizational support directly influence employee readiness to change. However, a commitment to the organization has little effect on employee readiness to change. Managerial implications can be implemented by the Secretariat General of the National Resilience Council by implementing the POLC (Planning, Organizing, Leading, Controlling) model. In addition, further research is likely to include other factors related to employee readiness to change.

Published: March 2024

The labor aspirations of young university students face labor markets characterized by their instability and the growing lack of available employment and social security. Hence the relevance of studying the job expectations of students in the university environment, given the panorama of youth employment and the precarious conditions that the market offers to future professionals. The study was cross-sectional, with a survey technique, 1147 students from 8 universities from urban, rural and border regions of northern Mexico participated. Job expectations were analyzed in 4 dimensions: Work environment and availability of free time, recognition and freedom to act, stability and career line, remuneration and benefits. A third of students perceive their future employment with uncertainty. Their work expectations and the meaning they give to a job remain priorities: that their opinion be considered, they express their interest in schedules that favor the reconciliation of their personal and professional life. Job stability is not necessarily contemplated, they are willing to seek new opportunities if the work environment does not satisfy them. This generation shows greater agreement with the substantive meaning of work, remaining in the constant search for challenges, with special emphasis on self-realization, autonomy and personal satisfaction. Young people from rural areas travel with higher expectations of a future job when migrating to urban areas. Young people from border areas, given the precariousness of the labor dynamics in their regions, express lower expectations

Published: March 2024

Aim: To translate and adapt for the Colombian population a Spanish version of the Adult Strabismus Quality of life (AS-20) questionnaire that assesses quality of life in adults with strabismus.  Methodology: The translation and cultural adaptation of a Spanish version of the AS-20 questionnaire was carried out, where relevance, experiential character, writing, and semantics were evaluated.  Questionnaire was applied in two different groups: patients with strabismus and professionals, both of whom were contacted through a telephone interview. In the case of people with strabismus, clinical and sociodemographic characteristics were investigated to identify if there were differences in the opinions expressed. Results: Participants who evaluated the questionnaire had a median age of 40; 56% were female and the majority were students or housewives; 44% had completed basic secondary education and 48% belonged to socioeconomic stratum three. Questions 6, 7, 9, 14 and 15 showed inconsistencies in at least one of the four criteria evaluated. Questions were identified which, due to the topic addressed, would suggest the self-administered application of the questionnaire. Likewise, items investigating aspects that a patient with old strabismus would not experience, due to sensory adaptation processes were also identified.
Conclusions: The Spanish version translated from the AS-20 questionnaire is understandable for adults with strabismus. Given the absence of questionnaires to assess the impact of this condition on quality of life, it is a useful instrument to promote comprehensive management. The need to continue the validation process with the construct evaluation of the resulting Spanish version in the Colombian population is identified.

Focalización narrativa en 300
Authors: Bonilla Navarro José Francisco
Published: March 2024

The novel 300, by Rafael Cuevas Molina, is analyzed here. Considering testimoniality as a discursive modality in Central American literature, we describe its relationship with the discursive framework of narrative texts that establish the relations between the traumatic processes of guerrilla and insurgency with the forms of construction of memories and disenchantments, including the problems of conceptualization, writing and narrative focalization as resources of textual semiosis. The latter is a strategy that presents a typology of polyphonic voices to elucidate the representation of violence in this novel, as one of the aesthetic-discursive specificities of the text.

Authors: Nnaebue Uchechukwu Emmanuel
Published: March 2024

This study developed a comprehensive and effective reliability maintenance plan for refinery plants. Using a Refinery based in Nigeria as a case study, the research identified key factors affecting the reliability of refinery operations and proposed strategic maintenance measures to enhance operational efficiency and safety. The study utilized reliability centered maintenance (RCM) and failure modes and effect analysis (FMEA). From the evaluation, breaking down the components of the power system in the plant and addressing them individually exposes more vividly the errors in that system. Each failure mode was analyzed in terms of possible consequences on operation, function, or system status. The subject of risk assessment was presented and utilized to develop an approach for implementing the RCM in refinery power systems Finally, a proposed action plan was introduced to reduce the RPN number, thereby increasing the overall reliability and efficiency of the system component. It was observed that by reducing the RPN of each component, the overall efficiency of that component increases saving the company huge maintenance cost.

Garantizar la pertinencia de la Educación Superior (ES), en el contexto de la sociedad del conocimiento, requiere transmutar el modo en que se construyen los currículos de pregrado. La innovación curricular (IC) incorpora cambios en la estructura curricular, que deben resguardar una vigilancia epistémica permanente desde la deliberación y co-construcción participativa. El propósito de esta investigación es evidenciar el modelamiento de una coreografía didáctica institucional del diagnóstico para la IC de 8 carreras de pregrado que consideró cuatro etapas: Anticipación, Coreografía Interna, Coreografía Externa y Producto. En las 4 etapas se concretaron al menos 3 instancias mensuales de trabajo, que incluyeron equipos directivos, docentes, estudiantes, personas egresadas y expertas externas, donde se analizaron y socializaron colaborativamente las fortalezas, oportunidades, debilidades y amenazas del Plan de Estudio vigente. Este modelamiento permite colegiar decisiones para la elaboración de productos curriculares confiables y sensibles, reduciendo los desafíos de la implementación de un rediseño curricular. En la misma línea, trabajar en base a un proceso participativo permite moderar las resistencias al cambio y desarrollar sentido de pertenencia al proyecto educativo, ya que hay una valoración positiva de ampliar los niveles de participación en la toma de decisiones.

Authors: Szoboszlai-Kiss Katalin , Andrási Gábor
Published: March 2024

Hungarian legal education is rarely discussed from a pedagogic perspective, especially in English. This paper would like to fill a gap in the academic literature on this topic by presenting a unique multidisciplinary co-teaching initiative, aiming to mix ‘the best of two worlds’: developing a legal ethics course which is an amalgam of philosophical/theoretical and legal/practical elements. Describing how a compulsory Legal Ethics course was delivered at the István Széchenyi University of Győr in a case study format, the main aim of the authors is to contribute to the international academic discourse on law school pedagogy in general, and on legal ethics education in particular. First, we provide an overview of professional ethics education in law schools, focusing on the origins of the course in the United States of America. Then, after a review of the academic literature on multidisciplinary co-teaching, the context of this Legal Ethics course is presented: the situation of legal ethics education in the Hungarian law curriculum. Then the course particulars, especially the content and the assessment, will be described in detail, based on the personal experiences and observations of the authors.
China’s Great Firewall: Cybersecurity as Strategy for Building World Cyberpower
Authors: Wowor Harvardry Gerald Abraham , Sudirman Arfin , Hakiki Falhan
Published: March 2024

The information, communication, and technology (ICT) sector has grown significantly in China. One of the advancements they have seen is in the area of cybersecurity. China's growing cybersecurity competence enabled it to create the Great Firewall of China (GFW), a set of control and censorship regulations for internet communications in China. This article investigates the significance of cybersecurity in the development of China's authoritarian authority, with a focus on the GFW as a strategic component. The concepts of cybersecurity and cyberpower served as the article's theoretical foundation. Through interviews and literature reviews, this article employs qualitative methodologies.  This article demonstrates how China employs GFW to protect its citizens from cyber-attacks by focusing on political risks. China's cyber power is likewise increasing.

“Coveting the Manor” — the feud between Father Józef Dembiński and Krystyna Wilkońska née Dembińska in 1758—1772
Authors: Płonka Mirosław
Published: March 2024

In 1758, Krystyna née Dembińska of Rawicz coat of arms, widowed by Kazimierz Wilkoński, of Odrowąż coat of arms, the Standard Bearer of Zator and Oświęcim, presented on the personage of Stryszów Fr Józef Ferdynand Michał Tomasz Dembiński of Nieczuja coat of arms. The young clergyman was a son of the owner of Marcówka and Zembrzyce villages, situated near Stryszów, which belonged to the Wilkoński family. Until 1772, the parish priest engaged in a lasting feud with the patroness of the church over proceeds from benefices and church privileges. As a doctor of laws and letters, Father Józef masterfully conducted his affairs to prevail finally over the landowner of the village and the patroness of the parish. The conflict was primarily caused by the private rivalry between the cleric and Wilkońska concerning her entitlements, estate, and her role within the village and parish community. This article examines the tension between the manor and the parsonage in Stryszów as an example of competition for prestige, pointing to three stages of the rivalry. The actions of both the estranged parties discussed in the article illustrate the perception of the manor in Stryszów from the 1750s to the 1770s through the lens of the patron of a country church.
Who Comes after the Anthropocene?
Authors: Kirby Vicki
Published: March 2024

I remember my immediate fascination with an edited collection, now twenty years old, Who Comes After the Subject? The title seemed to entirely displace the identity of the subject, the “of-courseness” of its uniquely human definition. Indeed, its provocation did more than destabilise the what and where of the subject, as if we might extend this complexity, albeit in attenuated form, to non-human entities. The more radical implication was a destabilisation of human identity itself—its circumscribed location—together with the progress narrative that made the arrival of language, technology and agential smarts synonymous with human achievement. As contemporary concern about planetary health is galvanized around the unique power of human agency to either ruin or redeem an impassive and defenceless Nature, a “before” that lacks what being a subject affords, this article will linger over the logic that continues to sustain this story. By reworking Derrida’s “originary writing” as “originary humanicity,” a different sense of ecological involvement might be possible.
Immaterial Matters, or the Unconscious of Materialism: A Conversation with Elizabeth Grosz
Authors: Grosz Elizabeth , Mercier Thomas Clément
Published: March 2024

In this conversation, which took place across several months in the year 2021, Elizabeth Grosz describes her position with respect to “new materialism” and “the material turn”: while she emphasizes the necessity of materialist thought in the current situation marked by a global pandemic, she also stresses the equal importance of what she calls “the incorporeal”: an excess in and of matter, materiality’s heterogeneous virtuality, differentiality and becoming-other. Grosz describes the incorporeal as mutually implicated with materiality in a way that eschews both monism and dualism. The conversation roughly follows five topics: 1. How does one conceive of ontology without fixity? 2. How does matter “make sense”? 3. Can we think sexual differences beyond cisgender binarism and oppositional dualism? 4. What are the ethico-political implications of a materialist thought predicated on becoming and immanence? 5. Is psychoanalysis compatible with materialism, and is there a materiality of the unconscious? In the course of this exceptional interview, Grosz discusses the works of Jacques Derrida, Donna Haraway, Sigmund Freud, Luce Irigaray, Karen Barad, Friedrich Nietzsche, and of course Gilles Deleuze, among many others...
From Platonic Gesture to the theory of Discourses. On Some Unpublished Notes by Badiou on Philosophical Discourse.
Authors: Clemente Giacomo
Published: March 2024

This article will examine some theses that Badiou developed in the first period of his philosophy, when he was close to the theoretical horizon of Althusserianism. The article traces a route back from the Manifesto for Philosophy to some yet unpublished notes, dating from the late Sixties, on an aborted collective project on materialist philosophy. While, according to the later Badiou – who is also the most well-known – contemporary philosophical discourse should recover the Platonic gesture after Heidegger, it will be shown that the early Badiou, by debating the nature of the Platonic gesture with Macherey, seems to conceptualise philosophical discourse and its function under the inseparable link of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. The article ends with some open questions for a possible theory of discourse that would build on Badiou’s theoretical insights.
Badiou’s Social Ontology: Another Theory of the Subject
Authors: Nemli Osman
Published: March 2024

This article tackles a thorny issue within the reception of Badiou’s philosophy, i.e., the question of the role of the “social” within the ontological framework it outlines. Acknowledging that the question of the social is underdeveloped in Badiou’s system, the paper argues that there are resources in it to develop a social ontology, and attempos to flesh it out through an original and sustained reading of Badiou’s key formula on the distinction between democratic materialism and materialist dialectic: “there are only bodies and languages, except that there are truths”.
Entre Ortega y Heidegger: en torno a la pregunta por la técnica
Authors: Alarcón Cid Nicolás
Published: March 2024

En el presente escrito se considera una interrogante planteada por Heidegger en la pregunta por la técnica (Die Frage nach der Technik), vale decir, la pregunta por una determinación esencial de la técnica, en relación con los planteamientos orteguianos sobre ella. Específicamente, intentaremos abordar una cuestión que Acevedo (1997) insinúa en su introducción a la pregunta por la técnica, vale decir, si es que acaso las reflexiones de Ortega sobre la técnica —especialmente por su marcada consideración en relación con la vida humana como proyecto— se quedan en el plano de una mera determinación correcta —como relación medio-fin antropológica— o bien podrían eventualmente trascender dicho esquema en favor de un tratamiento fenomenológico que vincula la técnica con lo más hondo de la existencia del hombre.
Una razón en falta. Foucault y "Don Quijote"
Authors: Fielbaum Alejandro
Published: March 2024

Tras esbozar la noción de la ficción en Borges a partir de la alegría que este último lee en Don Quijote, buscamos mostrar cómo la obra de Foucault no presenta una lectura alegre de la novela cervantina. El filósofo francés ve allí el testimonio trágico de una locura que se aísla, la risa de la razón frente a la locura que confunde las palabras y las cosas. Frente a ello, la lectura lacaniana del barroco muestra la falta en medio de la representación, y así la opción de leer, en Don Quijote, cierta crítica de la razón en la razón. Terminamos mostrando esa chance a partir de los juegos del significante en la transformación del yelmo de Mambrino en baciyelmo.
