A Review of the Analysis of Ground Reaction Force among Adults with Lower Limb Problems
Authors: HARITHASAN DEEPASHINI , ABD RAZAK NUR AQILAH
Published: September 2023

The ground reaction force (GRF) is the equal opposing load transfer from the body to the ground, also called vertical load transfer. The GRF would produce stress waves transmitted toward the lower extremities during the heel strike of a gait cycle. Too much force imposed on the lower extremities for an extended period will cause harmful effects such as injuries or alterations in gait. This article presents a review of the literature on GRF analysis among adults with lower limb problems where comparisons between healthy and unhealthy subjects were analyzed, focusing on the compensation in each lower limb. A literature search of published articles in Science Direct and PubMed databases from August 2015 to March 2021 was analyzed. The keywords used for the search were (plantar force OR vertical load transfer OR ground reaction force) AND (lower limb OR lower extremities OR leg OR foot) AND (impairment OR problem OR injury). The literature search identified 22 relevant studies which were screened independently by two reviewers. Lower limb problems such as unilateral transfemoral amputation, unilateral transtibial amputation, patellofemoral pain, anterior cruciate ligament injury, knee arthroplasty, knee osteoarthritis, diabetic foot, total hip replacement, pronated foot proved to alter the GRF significantly. Patients used to shift their weight on the opposite leg as compensation, which acts as a pain-free mechanism. This paper has provided sufficient understanding regarding GRF among adults with lower limb problems. The knowledge concerning compensation may help physical therapists implement the appropriate intervention for patients with lower limb problems.

Published: September 2023

The interaction between adults and children during shared reading contributes to the conversation and reading in hand and makes the activity interactive. It is, therefore, imperative to understand parents’ goals for shared reading with their children as it will influence their behaviour and, in turn, affect their children’s development of language and literacy skills. In Malaysia, no local psychometric instrument identifying parent goals for shared reading is available. This study aims to translate the English version of the Parent Goals for Shared Reading Questionnaire (PGSRQ) into Malay and validate the translated questionnaire. Four qualified translators carried out the translation processes, and a panel of eight experts subsequently validated the Malay-translated version of PGSRQ. Of 33 items, the validation assessment revealed that 17 items had a content validity ratio (CVR) value of 1.0, while 12 items had a CVR value of 0.8. Only four items had a CVR value lower than 0.78 and were retranslated and modified. The findings of this study can pave the way for more research efforts in the field of shared reading in Malaysia. The questionnaire can also assist a speech therapist in assessing the goals that parents have on shared reading to come up with better designs for shared book reading intervention.

The knowledge and beliefs on the presence of fluoride in drinking water, its purpose and the associated health risks aids in equate water fluoridation and effective prevention programs. Water fluoridation is a safe, effective, and necessary method where adequate doses of fluoride is added into drinking water supplies with the target of assisting in tooth restoration and preventing tooth decay and dental caries. Therefore, this study identifies the level of knowledge and perception of fluoride in drinking water among residents living in Precinct 9, Putrajaya Methods: A cross-sectional, self-administered online questionnaire was used to examine knowledge and perception of fluoride in drinking water of 240 Precinct 9 residents. Descriptive analysis was applied for socio-demographic data and Chi-square was used to compare discrete data. All data obtained were further analyzed using SPSS Version 23.0. Results: The highest frequency (percentage) of residents were 213 (88.8%), aged 18-64 years old, 141 (58.8%) female, 214 (89.2%) with tertiary education background and 125 (51.1%) of them lived in Precinct 9 for more than 10 years. Of all participants, 137 (57.1%) and 83 (34.6%) have poor knowledge and medium perception regarding fluoride in drinking water respectively. There was a significant association between those with higher education level with knowledge (p=0.02) and perception (p=0.005) where they were more likely to know about overall fluoride in drinking water. Conclusion: Most participants had limited knowledge and negative perception of fluoride beyond a general sense it was beneficial. It appears that in moving forward to receive the water fluoridation support will need to attend to the challenge of anti-fluoride sentiment influence

Published: September 2023

Food Addiction (FA) is a concept of dependence on substance related to the consumption of palatable foods high in fat, sugar, and salt. This dependence may influence dietary modification advice as dietary modification is an essential component in managing people with diabetes. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of FA among people with diabetes. A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and August 2021 at Klinik Primer, Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (Cheras, Kuala Lumpur) involving 142 people with diabetes. FA was assessed using the validated Bahasa Melayu version of Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0. The median age of participants was 58 years (IQR=10), and the majority (88%, n=125) of them were above the age of 45 years. A large majority) had central obesity (90.1%, n=128) and were overweight and obese (91%, n=129). The median duration of diabetes was 10 years (IQR=11) with more than two-thirds (63.4%, n=90) of them having diabetes for more than 5 years. Majority (73.9%, n=105) also had poor glucose control with median HbA1c level of 7.5% (IQR =2). Our study found that the prevalence of FA among people with T2DM was low (2.8%, n=4). This could be because the participants were mostly from the older age group with long standing disease. These two features may have influenced their eating behaviour, becoming more compliant and adapted to diabetic diet advice received over the long duration of the condition. A similar study among young diabetics and those with new onset disease may better reflect FA among this group of people.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, periton diyalizi (PD) hastalarında uygulanan öz-yönetim programının hastaların bazı laboratuvar bulguları, sodyum ve fosfor tüketimi davranışlarına etkisini açıklamaktır.

Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmanın evrenini, Ocak-Mart 2020 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin batısında yer alan bir ildeki Üniversite Hastanesi Periton Diyalizi ünitesine ayaktan gelen 30 PD hastası oluşturmuştur. Bu çalışmada, ön test-son test deseni kullanılmıştır. Hastaların bazı laboratuvar bulguları, diyette sodyum ve fosfor alımı konusunda olumlu davranış değişikliği sağlamalarına yönelik öz yönetim programı uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan anket formu iki bölümden oluşmuştur; 1. bölümde sosyo-demografik ve hastalığa ilişkin veriler, 2. bölümde ise sodyum ve fosfor alımına yönelik sorular yer almıştır. Çalışma verileri değerlendirilirken tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerin yanında, ön test-son test puan ortalamaları arasındaki farkı saptamaya yönelik olarak, paired simple t testi ve Mc Namer testi uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Periton diyalizi hastalarında, girişim öncesi ve sonrası bazı laboratuvar bulguları (plazma sodyum, idrar sodyum, diyalizat sodyum, plazma fosfor, idrar fosfor, plazma kalsiyum) puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Periton diyalizi hastalarında girişim öncesi ve sonrası sodyum ve fosfor alımına yönelik sorulara verilen yanıtlara bakıldığında; ön test-son test puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).

Sonuç: Periton diyalizi hastalarıyla yürütülen bu çalışma sonuçları, öz yönetim programının hastalarda bazı laboratuvar değerleri ve sodyum ve fosfor alımına yönelik olumlu değişimler yaratmadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Hastalarla daha uzun süre zaman geçirmeleri nedeniyle davranış değişikliği kazandırmada düzeyini artırmada hemşirelere önemli sorumluluklar düşmektedir.

Authors: Tornés Bernal Maricarmen , Díaz Rodríguez Yoiner , Pupo Osorio Carlos Alberto , Torres Barrero Leodanis
Published: September 2023

Este estudio exploró el cine cubano de la década de los 90, centrándose en cómo las películas producidas durante el Período Especial reflejaron las tensiones y transformaciones de la sociedad cubana. De manera que el cine se convirtió en un vehículo para abordar cuestiones políticas, sociales y culturales, aprovechando la narrativa cinematográfica para ofrecer una perspectiva única sobre la identidad y la vida cotidiana en un período de cambios profundos. El propósito planeado fue comprender cómo el cine cubano de los 90 funcionó como una expresión artística y una reflexión sobre la realidad cubana. Asimismo, explicar cómo las películas capturaron la dualidad entre la nostalgia por el pasado y la percepción pesimista del presente, mientras abordaban temas como la migración, la tercera edad y las relaciones humanas en tiempos de crisis. Las conclusiones revelan que el cine cubano de los 90 desafió las expectativas convencionales al abordar temas polémicos y al cuestionar la autoridad política. A pesar de las limitaciones presupuestarias, las películas como “Fresa y Chocolate” y “Guantanamera” trascendieron las fronteras nacionales, resonando con audiencias globales y demostrando la influencia del cine como agente de cambio social. Estos filmes ofrecieron una mirada auténtica y matizada de la realidad cubana, mostrando cómo las circunstancias adversas pueden inspirar la creatividad y la expresión artística mientras exploran y expresan las realidades cambiantes y desafiantes del país.

Authors: Mera Pico María Joaquina , Murillo Mora Mónica Katherine
Published: September 2023

El embarazo en la adolescencia ha sido históricamente un tema que genera diversas connotaciones en el seno familiar, afectando el bienestar emocional de sus miembros. El propósito de este estudio fue examinar el impacto emocional actual que enfrentan las familias con adolescentes embarazadas. Esta investigación, de carácter no experimental, descriptivo y transversal, se fundamentó en el paradigma sociocrítico y adoptó un enfoque mixto, cuali-cuantitativo. Se estudiaron 20 familias con adolescentes embarazadas de entre 10 y 19 años. Se empleó un cuestionario estructurado en tres partes: la primera recopila datos generales de la adolescente, la segunda utiliza el Apgar familiar para evaluar la funcionalidad familiar, y la tercera parte comprende 10 preguntas sobre el impacto del embarazo en el ámbito familiar. Los resultados indicaron que la mayoría de las embarazadas tenían entre 15 y 19 años y habían completado la educación secundaria. La mayoría no vivía con sus parejas y pertenecía a hogares monoparentales de nivel socioeconómico bajo a regular. Se observaron cambios significativos en el comportamiento, relaciones y comunicación dentro de la familia. Algunas adolescentes enfrentaron discriminación debido a su embarazo, lo que afectó sus actividades académicas, generando emociones negativas e impactando su desarrollo emocional.

Numerical 11-Factor in Half the Genetic Code – A Search for an Explanation in Number Series
Authors: Wohlin Åsa
Published: September 2023

Half of 20 + 4 (double-coded) amino acids in the genetic code structure showed1 an astonishing regularity in a 2D-table, including the 11-factor. The regularities have been dismissed by professionals, saying that no known physical-chemical laws can explain them. Here a search for possible explanations or aspects is carried through by investigating the numeral series, as dimensions, of x = integers 5 → 0 with different exponents, treated in earlier papers: x3, 2x2 behind the Periodic system, x2/3 ×102 (the “ES”-series) and further the basic series with its superposed series (as coding for underlying steps) with features like quantum mechanics. The regularities are reproduced in first section. It’s shown how the paired amino acid side chains that give the 11-factor in the 2D-table are derivable in different ways through counter-directed reading of numbers in the different series (2-digit numbers that always give sums with factor 11). Introduced is the concept of step-numbers, related to numeral series, implying a vector character, with this also anti-vectors, a physical and biological reality, expressed e.g. as intervals. A main interval in the ES-series as a whole is the number 77, specially studied, the most obvious organizing principle in the 2D-table. The fact that also sums of mirrored 2-letter codons code for amino acid groups with the 11-factor points to a deeper level of double-direction acting on both levels, here suggested as inherited from the higher dimension 4D. Regarding the coding base pairs G-C and A-U as two coordinate axes, the regularities show up in amino acids with 2-letter codons that join these axes, called Mx-coded ones, the other half of the genetic code not. It seems connected with the two axes of the 2D-table and strengthens the hypothetical dimensional processes from higher to lower D-degree. Finally, factor 9 as difference of numbers read bidirectionally are circa the inversion of 11, inversion existing in physical laws. An eventual relation to centriole structure with factor 9 (×2 or ×3) of microtubules are shortly studied. This paper should be taken as material, inviting other researchers in applied physics and biochemistry to go on with the questions.

Published: September 2023

Background: Patients with diabetes are susceptible to accelerated vascular damage associated with increased circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from endothelial tissue. Adiponectin is a cytokine with anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitivity properties decreased in the plasma of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to assess the content of receptor 1 for adiponectin (AdipoR1) in both total and endothelial EVs from plasma samples of T2D patients and normoglycemic subjects. Methods: Insulin and soluble vascular endothelial molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in plasma were measured by ELISA, and we used flow cytometry to determine the content of AdipoR1, CD106, and CD144 in plasma-derived EVs from 14 patients with diabetes and 34 normoglycemic subjects. Results: Compared to normoglycemic subjects, the percentage of vesicles CD144+ (p = 0.0041) and CD106+ (p = 0.0011) were higher in patients with diabetes. Compared to T2D patients, the percentage and medium fluorescence intensity from the total EVs/AdipoR1+ (p = 0.041 and p = 0.0220) were higher in normoglycemic subjects. Plasmatic sVCAM-1 was negatively correlated with plasma adiponectin (b = - 14.415, p < 0.0001), along with the percentage of EVs/AdipoR1+ (b = - 8.209, p = 0.001); and correlated positively with the percentage of EVs/CD144+ (b = 6.768, p < 0.0001) and HOMA-IR (b = 67.919, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Our results show that the content of AdipoR1 in plasma-derived VEs is lower in patients with T2D than in subjects with normoglycemic. AdipoR1 content in EVs is negatively associated with the endothelial damage marker sVCAM-1 level in plasma and with the HOMA-IR value.
Legal and Normative Aspects Applicable to Workers' Mental Health: Bill to Regulate Psychosocial Risks in Brazil
Authors: Rodrigues Thaisa , Dal Rita , Ventura Carla
Published: September 2023

Background: The post-pandemic historical moment of COVID-19 has had consequences on the mental health of workers, evidenced by the growing statistics of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, panic syndrome, burnout syndrome, psychotic episodes, alcohol and drug addiction, stress, fatigue, and professional exhaustion. Aims: Analyse the recommendations of the International Labour Organization and the Brazilian laws applicable to occupational mental health to identify documents that address intervening laws in workers' mental health in the international scientific literature and introduce Bill 3,588/2020, which aims to regulate occupational psychosocial risks. Methods: Narrative review of the scientific literature in the databases Scopus, Lilacs BVS, PubMed, Cinhal, and Ebesco and document analysis of Brazilian legislation and international recommendations on workers' mental health and norms related to exposure to occupational psychosocial risks and measures of intervention in mental health. Results: The International Labour Organization established three Conventions to protect workers' health. In the Brazilian legal system, six broad and general norms were identified. The narrative prediction resulted in nine intervening laws that address the worker's mental health. Conclusion: In Brazil, there is no specific legislation regarding the worker's right to mental health, nor any regulation through Regulatory Norms, which demonstrates the need for the approval of Bill 3,588/2020, pending in the National Congress, which aims at regulating psychosocial risks, such as intervention, management, and prevention measures capable of minimizing mental illness at work.
Conservative Kidney Management and kidney Supportive Care: Essential Treatments for Kidney Failure
Authors: Davison Sara , Wearne Nicola , Bagasha Peace , Krause Rene
Published: September 2023

Kidney supportive care (KSC) and conservative kidney management (CKM) are essential treatments for kidney failure (KF) but are nonexistent, poorly developed, and/or poorly integrated with kidney care across low-, middle-, and high-income countries. This article reviews the updated definitions and evidence for KSC and CKM and discusses who will most benefit from these treatments. Conservative kidney management involves highly individualized active treatment that comes with its own set of recommendations that focus predominantly on patient-specific goals and health-related quality of life. The recommendations for managing the complications of kidney failure and the symptoms of pain, restless legs, uremic pruritus, nausea and vomiting, poor sleep and fatigue, and breathlessness in people receiving CKM are reviewed. Additional considerations for delivering CKM in low resource settings are discussed.
Treatment of Diabetic Foot Lesions with Restructuring Cream: Case Study
Authors: Wilke Margrit
Published: September 2023

Diabetic polyneuropathy is a complication that affects about 50% of diabetic patients and is the main cause of foot ulcers, preceding 85% of amputations. Treatment is usually long and tissue repair is a challenge for health professionals. This work aims to evaluate the treatment with restructuring cream, based on bioactives and with glycolic extracts of plants. The methodology used was a case study, in 3 diabetic patients, with polyneuropathy and previous chronic non-communicable diseases, whose treatment was performed with restructuring cream. It was possible to conclude that the proposed treatment facilitates self-care, reduces treatment time and consequently health costs.
Real Deletion, Time, and Possibility
Authors: Auxier Randall
Published: September 2023

Abstract:
Does anything ever really “go away,” completely? This paper is a search for “real deletion,” and the metaphysics that must accompany real deletion. Why is that important? In artificial intelligence studies, researchers have offered a moving target for when artificial intelligence has been achieved. It began with the Turing test and has evolved through a thousand arguments (e.g., Dreyfuss’ What Computers Can’t Do, through Kurzweil’s “singularity” and into a hundred other criteria and thousands of discussions about what intelligence is and what it would mean to simulate or, as I favor, emulate it). This whole discussion is still just sorting through analogies to human intelligence, not approaching the thing itself, but good analogies must approach much more than analogous function: they must approach real indiscernibility. My arguments here will therefore be largely in the field of metaphysics and ontology, which is how I understand the word “real” in the phrase “real deletion.” I do not think that current researchers have rightly understood time and how it bears upon the criterion or. criteria of artificial intelligence. Hence, I offer “real deletion,” in the sense to be described, as the criterion. The AI argument has implications for all of metaphysics as it relates to the fundamental character of time.
From Metapsychologie to Realpsychologie: archetypal imagery in the psychologies of C.G. Jung and J. Hillman
Authors: Czapkowski Krzysztof , Pankalla Andrzej
Published: September 2023

Although the relation between the theories of C.G. Jung and J. Hillman has been thoroughly analyzed, presented paper bring to the academic light a new aspect of their lineage of thought. By the means of the ideas of psychic Image and archetype, it reconstructs their evolution of thought - here presented in the context of freudian Metapsychologie (with its primary meaning an psychological scence replacing the metaphysics) and Dilthey’s project of Realpsychologie (descriptive psychology of dealing with the real activity soul). Presented study focuses on the years 1912-1979 capturing the period of establishing they independent Jungian school up to the forming of Archetypal Psychology by J. Hillman. The text is designed to provide both critical and historical account for depth psychology and psychology of Image.
Imago Dei in St. Thomas Aquinas: a philosophical and anthropological analysis of man created in the Image of God
Authors: Kilan Wojciech
Published: September 2023

Image as a philosophical concept has a long and complex history that begins as early as antiquity. Christian scholars included it in their philosophical studies in the form of imago Dei. In this paper, the author analysed the works of St. Thomas Aquinas to determine the anthropological consequences that follow from the idea of human creation in the image of God. It was first established that man as a being created in the image of God participates through his intellect in God’s nature. Moreover, three stages of human participation in God were presented. Subsequently, the author defended the classical theory of Aquinas against contemporary reinterpretation of his thought. It was argued that Aquinas rightly claims that only the intellectual part of the human soul is, strictly speaking, created in God’s Image, while the human body (and other irrational creatures) resembles God in the likeness of a trace.
Androgyny and a Dream: Gaston Bachelard’s Question about a New Anthropology
Authors: Morawska Kamila
Published: September 2023

Androgyny as the idea of unity and wholeness appears in the thought of Gaston Bachelard in the context of a poetic dream. It is in it, as we learn from “Poetics of Dreams”, that the reconciliation of anima and animus, female and male in one psyche takes place. The anima dream is called by the French philosopher the philosophy of androgynous existence, which shows us a double idealization of humanity. The anima and animus, confirming the androgyny of the psyche, are Self-moments. This dual nature of mental being is expressed through two antagonisms represented by the function of reality (adaptation to reality and social life) and the function of irreality (loneliness of dreams); supervised thought (criticism, censorship) and free dreaming (liking, acceptance, attachment); work (effort) and rest (relaxation); anxiety (project, anticipation) and peace (presence in oneself) - especially around the duality that crystallizes in the distinction between the scientific mind (l'esprit scientifique) under the sign of the animus (concepts, knowledge) and the poetic mind (l'esprit poetique) anima (images, communion of souls). Androgyny, understood as the integral life of the psyche, is for Bachelard perspective and valuable, and he identifies attempts to seek it with the question of the meaning of human existence. The study of the dream shows its fundamental importance for the balance of the psyche. The power of images understood in this way then creates the art of living. In this sense, Bachelard becomes a precursor of a new perspective in the field of reflection on the issue of the image - it turns out that the image is responsible for the relationship between man and the world.
Transgression of the Self – the Total Act in Jerzy Grotowski’s Laboratory Theater and Jungian archetype experience
Authors: Neumann Patrycja
Published: September 2023

Niniejszy artykuł jest poświęcony z najważniejszych odkryć Jerzego Grotowskiego, aktowi całkowitemu, specyficznemu rodzajowi działania i doświadczenia zarazem. Powstało ono w ramach praktyki teatralnej, lecz poza funkcją związaną z dramaturgią przedstawień miało wyższy cel, związany z poszukiwaniem istoty człowieczeństwa i źródeł doświadczenia rzeczywistości. Jerzy Grotowski dążył do transformacji aktorów oraz obserwatorów, otwarcia ich na to, co autentyczne, żywe i obecne. To osiągnięcie stanowiło rodzaj doświadczenia, w którym przezwyciężone zostaje sacrum i profanum. Akt całkowity pozwalał „stać się patrzonym” i, paradoksalnie, pozwalał uczestniczyć w dwoistości biernego działania, w którym człowiek staje się obserwatorem i działającym zarazem. Moim celem jest sproblematyzowanie roli zasady współistnienia przeciwieństw w pracy J. Grotowskiego i opis aktu całkowitego jako możliwości doświadczenia psychofizycznej jedni. Człowiek w tym archetypowym doświadczeniu poprzedza wszelkie różnice, jest w stanie dotrzeć do samego centrum własnego Ja, tego, co Carl Gustav Jung określał mianem Selbst.
Jak pies z kotem, czyli natura w kreacji nazw blogów o tematyce zwierzęcej
Authors: Kawęcka Magdalena
Published: September 2023

Nazwy własne reprezentują obszar języka, który – pozostając w ścisłej korelacji z całokształtem ludzkiej kultury – stanowi świadectwo zarówno faktów z przeszłości, jak i obecnej rzeczywistości. Są odzwierciedleniem aktywnej działalności człowieka oraz jego współistnienia i wzajemnych relacji z przyrodą. Ekspansywność przemian globalizacyjno-technologicznych odniesiono do dwóch klas nazewniczych autonomizujących się jako subdyscypliny onomastyczne, tj. do chrematonomastyki oraz medionomastyki. W artykule zaprezentowano podstawy terminologiczne w obszarze studiów chrematonomastycznych oraz pól zainteresowań w zakresie nazewnictwa w nowych mediach. Przedmiotem badań uczyniono polskie nazwy blogów zwierzęcych. W opracowaniu zawarto 100 tytułów, które przeanalizowano pod kątem mechanizmów derywacji nazwotwórczej oraz w świetle pojęcia gry językowej, co miało na celu określenie najnowszych tendencji dotyczących elementów faunicznych w polskim nazewnictwie medialnym. Omawiane w artykule nazwy blogów są specyficznym elementem rzeczywistości wirtualnej, zmuszają do myślenia i innych działań twórczych dzięki swojej niestandardowej formie, polegającej na świadomym łamaniu reguł językowych oraz na używaniu elementów anglojęzycznych.
„How Dare You!” Retoryka środowiskowa w dobie nowych mediów – przypadek Grety Thunberg
Authors: Steciąg Magdalena
Published: September 2023

Dyskurs ekologiczny w XXI wieku zmienia się nie tylko pod wpływem pogłębiającego się kryzysu klimatycznego i innych niekorzystnych zmian w środowisku przyrodniczym, ale także wraz z dynamicznym rozwojem technologii komunikowania. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie fenomenu nowomedialnego Grety Thunberg w kontekście proponowanej przez nią retoryki środowiskowej. W tym celu najpierw zostanie przedstawiona charakterystyka komunikacyjna nowych mediów, a następnie publiczne wystąpienia szwedzkiej aktywistki zostaną poddane analizie retorycznej. Materiał badawczy obejmuje 11 mów umieszczonych w zbiorze No one is too small to make a difference (Penguin Books, 2019) oraz transkrypcję słynnej mowy nowojorskiej „How dare you!” Konkluzje dotyczą zestrojenia przekazu ekologicznego Grety Thunberg z komunikacyjnymi uwarunkowaniami nowych mediów.
Levels of Schematicity in Metaphorical Animal Nicknames: The Case Study of Koczkodan Nickname in Polish
Authors: Dąbrowska Anna
Published: September 2023

The aim of this paper is to recognise the contemporary meaning of the nickname koczkodan in Polish [English: hag, frump; literally: a vervet monkey], based on extracts of real discurse taken from the Polish Corpus. This meaning has been obtained by examining the metaphors underlying the nickname, which are motivated by various contextual factors, e.g. the speaker’s gender and discourse registers in which the phrase is pronounced. Accordingly, the working CMT-CMA hybrid model is applied for the purpose of the study, which derives both from the extended view of Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and from the discursive and critical view of metaphor within Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA). The results obtained in the study reveal that the meaning of the koczkodan nickname is based on six metaphorical dynamic structures organised hierarchically, from the most schematic image schema that emerges at the very moment when the speaker needs to use the nickname, through more detailed metaphors at the levels of domains and frames, until the level of mental spaces is reached. This level is of great importance for the new meaning of the koczkodan nickname, as the integration of two incompatible input spaces (animal and human characteristics) are blended to form one single space. This results in the generation of a novel meaning of koczkodan in Polish, which makes reference not only to one’s physical ugliness but also to one’s evil character traits.
Natura jako element nominacyjny w kreacji nazw polskich klubów piłkarskich
Authors: Jaros Violetta
Published: September 2023

Artykuł jest próbą spojrzenia na zagadnienie nominacji polskich klubów piłkarskich, wykorzystujących w kreacji nazw szeroko pojętą naturę – świat roślin i zwierząt (faunę i florę), ale także niektóre zjawiska meteorologiczne, ciała niebieskie i zjawiska fizyczne, kopaliny, ukształtowanie terenu itp. Celem analiz jest ustalenie: a) pól leksykalno-semantycznych, z których kreatorzy czerpią podstawy motywacyjne, b) repertuaru wyrazów wykorzystanych do nominacji, c) ich frekwencji oraz d) znaczeń konotowanych. Słownictwo odapelatywne odnoszące się do natury obejmuje 124 bazy motywacyjne użyte w nazewnictwie 751 klubów piłkarskich i potwierdza odwieczną współzależność świata ludzkiego i świata przyrody.
„Okoliczności, jakie Bóg pozwala nam przeżywać…” Od życia ks. Luigiego Giussaniego do jego koncepcji wychowania
Authors: Fedeli Carlo M. , Chodyniecki Dariusz
Published: September 2023

* Artykuł oryginalny w języku włoskim pt. „«Le Circostanze per cui Dio ci fa passare…» Dalla vita di don Luigi Giussani alla sua concezione dell’educazione” został opublikowany w Rocznikach Pedagogicznych 15(51) 2023, nr 1, s. 15-24.

Artykuł ma na celu uwydatnienie, w sposób spójny i zwięzły, najważniejszych momentów w życiu ks. Giussaniego, które okazały się szczególnie decydujące dla powstania, kształtowania się i dojrzewania jego koncepcji wychowania. Momenty te miały miejsce w jego rodzinie, w okresie jego formacji w Seminarium w Venegono, w czasie, gdy uczył religii w Liceum Berchet w Mediolanie oraz w latach dojrzałości i starości.

Zastanawiając się nad doświadczeniami przeżywanymi za każdym razem w tych okolicznościach, Giussani stopniowo tworzył koncepcję wychowania, która za swoje fundamenty ma rzeczywistość, doświadczenie, rację, piękno, wolność, i która dzisiaj okazuje się cenna nie tylko dla nastolatków i ludzi młodych, ale również dla każdego człowieka w każdym wieku.
La trasmissione della fede in una società secolarizzata sulla base delle principali pubblicazioni di don Luigi Giussani
Authors: Campagnaro Matteo
Published: September 2023

L’articolo approfondisce il pensiero teologico-pastorale di don Luigi Giussani, sacerdote della diocesi di Milano e fondatore del movimento di Comunione e Liberazione. Si vuole esaminare in particolar modo il metodo proposto da Giussani per trasmettere la fede cristiana in una società pluralistica e secolarizzata. Il pensiero teologico-pastorale di Giussani è caratterizzato dalla sua passione per la razionalità, da una paresia nel voler trasmettere ai giovani un cristianesimo non doveristico, ridotto ad un imposizione etica, ma come ‘Fatto’ accaduto, sperimentabile oggi nella realtà della comunità ecclesiale. Secondo Giussani, per trasmettere la fede all’uomo moderno è necessario offrire una pastorale che proponga la fede in Cristo come un incontro estetico che risponda, cioè, alle esigenze di bellezza, verità e bontà dell’uomo e al quale sia ragionevole aderire. Di fronte al problema antropologico della modernità, una risposta adeguata per Giussani può venire da una fede che attiri l’uomo per la sua bellezza, cioè per la sua correttezza razionale.

Authors: H. Adiga Shripathi  , Raghava Hebbar Krishna , S. Adiga Ramya
Published: September 2023

Keloids, the benign dermal fibro-proliferative nodular lesions, which often tend to cause socio-economic and psycho-somatic stress pose a major challenge to clinicians till date. Apprehending and analyzing keloids under the concept of Vranagranthi described in the ancient science of Ayurveda and amalgamating the therapeutic principles explained in the classics can emerge as a ray of hope in the condition. Kshara karma (chemical cauterization) is an important para-surgical procedure which can be effectively incorporated into the treatment of wounds, Keloids and hypertrophic scars. An 18-year-old client who presented with overgrowth of scar tissue at the right anterolateral part of the chest region was treated at the OPD of the Division of Ayurveda, MAHE, Manipal. Kshara karma, which included the painting of Teekshna Apamarga kshara (ashes of Achyranthes aspera) for a duration of 100 Matra kala (approximately 2 mins), in two sittings brought about total regression of the Vranagranthi and the associated symptoms. No signs of recurrence were noticed during the follow-ups. Thus, Kshara karma can emerge as a promising solution in the stress-filled life of Keloid patients.

Published: September 2023

The dynamics of Islam within the framework of Islamic majority and minority groups cannot be separated from the government’s role in maintaining religious tolerance. Minority groups such as Moro Muslims in the Philippines, Patani Muslims in Thailand, and Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar have illustrated the government’s minimal role in resolving conflicts between the majority and minorities. Therefore, this paper discusses the Muslim majority and minority groups in several countries and their relationship with the government to implement the practice of religious tolerance. This article uses a library method with a content analysis approach from relevant articles related to the government’s role in implementing religious tolerance practices in Southeast Asia. The study shows that the existence of Islam as a belief of a person and the people who are part of the state and government cannot be separated from one another. In other words, the state’s support for its people of various ethnicity, cultures, and religions will contribute to the peace of the state and the creation of state stability. The position of the majority and minority in the religious process will also influence religious institutions socially, economically, and culturally. Showing the expression of diversity in religious practices in the Southeast Asia region will create a new order in creating peace.
