Authors: Lorensia Amelia , Jalmav Marthy Meliana Ariyanti , Dhiba Zahwa , Suryadinata Rivan Virlando
Published: July 2024

Cigarettes are one of the leading causes of death in the world and  Indonesia. Cigarettes emit cigarette smoke, which contains toxins and has pro-inflammatory properties that interfere  the metabolism of vitamin D in the lungs. The study aimed to determine the risk of vitamin D deficiency in active smokers in Rungkut Village, Surabaya City. This research method is a mix-method with a  Convergent Parallel Design type strategy, which is a way of collecting quantitative (cross-sectional) and qualitative data (interpretative phenomenological analysis) simultaneously, with purposive sampling technique. The variable was the risk of vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D level. Subjects were active smokers aged ≥19 years in the Rungkut Subdistrict. The number of samples involved in this research was 125 samples in the quantitative phase, and 15 people in the qualitative phase.  The highest level of smoking severity was light smokers (45.60%). Most of respondents had normal vitamin D levels (≥20 mg/mL) of 73.33%, averaging of 37.66 ± 5.89 mg/mL. Most active smokers are at risk of vitamin D deficiency. Risk factors for deficiency in heavy smokers are not consuming foods containing vitamin D (such as fish, eggs, and milk), not consuming fish oil supplements and vitamins, and not sunbathing. However, the level of physical activity tended to be moderate-heavy. The conclusion is that smokers must pay attention to their intake of foods containing vitamin D and exposure to sunlight to achieve sufficient vitamin D levels.
La cosa del pensiero in Gaṅgeśa
Il Navya-Nyāya sull’oggetto, il pensiero e l’oggetto pensato
Authors: Anrò Alberto
Published: July 2024

Through the distinction between being and presence, Heidegger investigated the history of philosophy and questioned the relation between thought and its object. Such inquiries about the thing of thought are directed here to Gaṅgeśa, a leading figure in the New Logic (Navya-Nyāya). A composite picture emerges, through this decontextualising lens, that does not forget an ontological difference, in a self-reflexive, epistemologically rigorous, and ontologically articulate account capable of not distancing the thing from the thought that thinks it while also abandoning the forced alternative between naive realism and subjective idealism.
State-Sponsored Maitreya Cult and the Shouluo Biqiu Jing
A Case of a Transmission of a Heterodoxy to Korea
Authors: Campa Marco
Published: July 2024

In this paper, the author analyses the apocryphal text Shouluo biqiu jing, centred around the saviour bodhisattva Yueguang Tongzi (Candraprabhākumāra in Sanskrit). It is possible that this text was written in Silla, with some connection with its royalty and the hwarang group. This paper confronts this hypothesis with other ones that connect it to some Sui-Tang millenarian movements. Chosen methodology is the historical and philological analysis. The conclusion is that the text was likely written in China, bu it possibly circulated in Korean Peninsula. The text is probably the result of composition and manipulation.
Big Cruise Ships Going Feral: An Ecocritical Reading of Overtourism in Venice
Authors: De Giorgi Irene
Published: July 2024

The problem of big cruise ships overtourism in Venice is examined with an ecocritical approach, through two novel concepts: Feral entity and Plantationocene. The first one is adopted to describe big cruise ships as other‑than‑human subjects benefitting from human‑built infrastructures to spread beyond human control, becoming undomesticated. Such ferality is evident in some of their attributes, such as being uncontainable, creating a toxic environment or producing legacy effects. Plantationocene, instead, is used to depict the cruise ships‑induced touristic monoculture affecting the city, highlighting its major characteristics, namely that of global circulation of humans and capital and the homogenisation, simplification and exploitation of eco‑social landscapes.

Published: July 2024

Recent research on housing submarkets over the decades and the necessity to categorise heterogeneous property markets into distinct submarkets are deemed essential in the real estate field. Housing submarkets operate based on the concept of a group of dwellings that are substantially close substitutes to one another, but are relatively poor substitutes for dwellings in different submarkets. This mechanism primarily depends on spatial variations in housing characteristics related to structure, location, and neighbourhood. Housing submarkets are vital in enhancing the precision of housing pricing and analysing the dynamic shifts in the property markets. This study aimed todefine and examine the presence of housing submarkets for the terraced properties in Johor Bahru with the Malaysian Valuation and Property Services Department (JPPH) housing transaction database. The database documented 63,036 housing transactions between2009 and 2018 with thirteen independent structural and locational housing attributes. The study also recommended an objective data-driven methodology by integrating principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis to delineate housing submarkets. Resultantly, the presence of housing submarkets was identified within the property market with the delineation of two specific submarket effects, namely the housing location cluster and housing quality cluster. The submarkets provided a comprehensive framework for segregating property traits into prospective clusters. Establishing housing submarkets may provide valuable insights, implicit cluster details, and a more reliable hedonic price model prediction. The outcomes could be employed by property valuers, analysts, and urban planners for a sound comprehension of current real estate circumstances.

The Once and Future NATO: Managing a Sea of Troubles
Authors: Laity Mark
Published: July 2024

It is a curious feature that for an organisation billed as the most powerful in the world there have actually not been that many books on it. Plenty on the Cold War, of course, but NATO has tended to have a walk-on role compared with the major powers. It may be the fact that NATO has succeeded—there has been no major war in Europe since 1945—has played its part. What did not happen—rather like the dog that didn’t bark in the night—is not obviously the stuff of drama.
Georgia: Approaching a Crossroads? Or Permanently Parked at One?
Authors: Bell Paul
Published: July 2024

This is a meditation on the mind of a small state, Georgia.It begins next door, with Georgia’s equally small neighbour, Armenia, whose president until 2022 was Armen Sarkissian, author of The Small States Club, the book which has prompted this essay.Georgia and Armenia share a 219-kilometre border and several distinctive features. They are similar in population size—Armenia a bit shy of three million, Georgia at three and a half—and both have large diasporas. They are among the earliest Christian countries. Each has its own unique alphabet. Both of its peoples have learned how to survive despite being brutalised and occupied by neighbouring powers. And each might be farther along the path of national development had it the ability to make different choices.

Experimental models of Traumatic Brain Injury: Controlled Cortical Impact and Fluid Percussion Injury models and secondary neurologic insults as predictive models in treatment strategy
Authors: Abikenari Matthew A
Published: July 2024

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is the leading cause of death and disability in young people under 45,affecting nearly 70 Million people worldwide every year. As the leading cause of disability-adjusted lifeyears lost, TBI holds enormous financial and societal implications globally. Defined as any injury to thebrain caused by external mechanical forces, TBI is characterized by an elongated pathophysiologicalcascade that induces molecular and cellular degenerations through focal and diffuse patterns of secondaryinsults that cause substantial necrosis, cortical atrophy and diffuse axonal injuries. Clinical cases of TBIfrequently display cerebral oedema, intracranial haemorrhage, altered neuronal function, and diminishedCerebral Blood Flow (CBF) regulation. Although substantial progress has been made in understanding thepathogenesis of intracranial injuries and the clinical presentation of TBI, there are currently nodisease-modifying therapeutic interventions or predictive models for treating TBI. Contemporary animalmodels of TBI, particularly controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury and fluid percussion injury (FPI)models have yielded substantial success in reproducing key pathophysiological, cognitive andneurobehavioral cascades characteristic of secondary insults in human TBI. These models not onlyrecapitulate clinically relevant features of the disease but also serve as highly promising preclinicalwindows into developing patient-stratified therapies for treating clinical TBI. The current paper reviewsthe basic pathophysiology, clinical presentation, treatment strategies and contemporary experimentalmodels of TBI. Lastly, the paper aims to elucidate the role of emergent FPI and CCI animal models thatcombine secondary insults as highly promising ventures into developing prediction models andpatient-stratified strategies for treating moderate-to-severe TBI.
Citizen's Resolve Against Autocratic Aggression: Survey Experimental Evidence from Five NATO Countries on Supporting Ukraine
Authors: Rudolph Lukas , Haggerty Fabian , Thurner Paul
Published: July 2024

The Russian war on Ukraine constitutes an attack on a sovereign country in clear violation of international law -- a bad omen for autocratic challenges to the liberal, rule-based order promoted by Western democracies. Are Western democracies ready for this challenge? Their governments attempt to commit themselves to assist Ukraine for `as long as it takes'. We argue that the credibility of such announcements and the ability of Western governments to provide long-term economic and military support depends on the extent of resolve of their respective electorates. Building on the literature on support for war, we are the first to study citizens' multidimensional assessments of the conditions and risks of supporting Ukraine. With support for Ukraine being increasingly politicized within the US and European countries, how reliable is the backing of Ukraine among the mass public of the top 5 supporters (US, UK, Germany, Italy, and France)? Drawing on conjoint and vignette survey experiments (N=10,000), we provide comparative evidence for populations split on this issue. On average, the full self-determination of Ukraine prevails in citizens' assessments but is not unconditional: strategic risks and the human, but not economic, costs of war are relevant constraints. However, around a quarter of the population does not care about outcomes for Ukraine -- while another quarter shows unconditional support. These results indicate limits to strong resolve against autocratic challenges inherent to the set-up of decision-making in liberal democracies, informing current policy debates.

Wokół relacji. Kilka refleksji o psychoanalitycznych inspiracjach w metodyce polonistycznej
Authors: Zdunik Jan
Published: July 2024

Jan Zdunik discusses psychoanalytic theories of development put forth by D. W. Winnicott and W. R. Bion and enquires whether it is possible to use psychoanalytic insights in the development of the methodology of Polish, and in particular in redefining the methods of teaching Polish literature. For this purpose, Zdunik introduces four concepts: holding, reverie, potential space, and mirroring. When critically examining the most important approaches to the methodology of Polish, he suggests broadening its scope by including the insights of British psychoanalysts. Next, he puts forth some practical guidelines for teachers and points to methods that could be useful in Polish literature lessons. In the conclusions, Zdunik considers the possibilities of making changes in the existing methodology and the scope of their implementation.

Defining Urban Green Spaces in the Colombo District across Multiple Uses
Authors: Kumuduni Yasheema , Weerakoon K. G. P. K.
Published: July 2024

Urban green spaces play a major role in the congested urban environment, which helps to minimize the ecological imbalance of the urban environment. Urban green spaces help to reduce stress, improve mood, promote physical activity, foster social cohesion, reduce air and water pollution etc. There are no static definitions to explain urban green space and different countries define urban green space based on the availability of their green resources. In Sri Lanka also no clear definition of urban green space. Colombo District of Sri Lanka is a highly urbanized and populated district, so land demand is very high for various uses of built-up areas. As a result, existing green spaces are depleting and it needs to emphasize strategic planning and management. However Sri Lanka does not have a standardized definition of green space, and it is one of the major obstacles to developing land use planning in the urban areas related to green spaces. This study aims to formulate an informative definition of green space for the Colombo District through the review of global and local definitions, followed by thematic analysis and expert validation. The proposed definition describes green spaces as natural and man-made vegetated areas in diverse landscapes that fulfil multifunctional roles, enhancing environmental quality and community well-being.
THE SYNERGY OF SHARED RELIGIOUS ETHICS MORALITY AND VIRTUE FOR SOCIAL HEALING IN SRI LANKA
Authors: Randika Perera
Published: July 2024

Sri Lanka is a pluralistic society with identifications of multiple ethnicities and religions. Exploring the cause of the ethnic conflicts inSri Lankan religion has been a seed for this presenting disharmony. This is not adequate for an ideology, in action, this has led to a thirty-year civil war and conflict between minorities. Therefore, the reconciliation process of Sri Lanka's religion plays a major role. Sri Lanka's community is representing the major religions faith of Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, and Islam. The teachings of each religious tradition represent several distinct features, but examining the teachings related to the ethics, morals, and virtue of each religious tradition presents a similarity of teachings. Considering this significance, this study has formulated a shared value framework based on the ethical teachings of Sri Lankan religious traditions of Theravada Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam. The foundation of this framework was free will and the second layer was formulated with the common values of each religion which contributed towards peace and harmony. In the final stage, the individual is empowered to utilize the shared values of religion for reconciliation as their religious virtue. This framework reaches individuals with peace education and later it can be implemented in society. Thus, religion has a greater influence on the formation of individual personality, through this approach the individuals in Sri Lanka are able to reform their personalities to tolerate the diversity of their society within a viewpoint of the shared religious values system in Sri Lanka's major religious doctrines.
LANGUAGE AND SOCIAL RECONCILIATION
Authors: M. M. K. D. Ratnayake
Published: July 2024

This paper focuses on the role language has in social reconciliation, making the point that it is perhaps the most crucial element in the process. Language can create reality, as early linguists like Saussure has shown us, often naturalizing ideology-filled cultural constructs, so that words are often misrecognized as being neutral.  This paper shows how language affects the progress towards war and the possibility of violence itself. It uses the example of gender to show how a quieter, more systemic violence that can be unleashed towards a group of people through language use. The modern world uses language very effectively to get people in agreement or to mobilize them towards a goal desired by a powerful few. For this, language works not as a means for clear communication, but as something that can be used as a smokescreen to obfuscate issues, something that will be clarified in this paper by using an example from Sinhala literature.  The conclusions drawn in this paper are that words and their use play a crucial role in life and in social processes and dynamics, and that it is very important that people realize this if we are to move towards any kind of long-lasting social reconciliation.
