Published: October 2022

Abstract: This study aims to examine the success of psychodrama techniques in improving assertive communication in vocational students. This experimental study used a pretest-posttest matching control group design. The research subjects were eighteen students selected by the purposive sampling technique. The data collection instrument used an assertive attitude scale—data analysis using Mann-Whitney. The analysis results showed a p-value of 0.000 (0.000<0.05). This difference occurs because of the treatment for the experimental group in the form of psychodrama techniques. The conclusion that can be accepted from the analysis results is that psychodrama techniques are effective for increasing assertiveness in research subjects. This research is expected to become literature in further research on psychodrama to increase assertiveness.

Modified e-Delphi Process for the Selection of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Children and Families With Type 1 Diabetes Using Continuous Glucose Monitors: Delphi Study
Authors: Shah Payal , Raymond Jennifer K , Espinoza Juan
Published: October 2022

Background

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management is complex and associated with significant psychosocial burden. Continuous glucose monitors (CGM) can improve disease management and outcomes and introduce new or exacerbate existing psychosocial concerns. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can be used to capture this information, but there is no consensus on which PROMs should be used in pediatric CGM research.

Objective

Here we describe the process to (1) identify PROMs that could be used to assess the impact of CGMs on pediatric patients with T1D, (2) implement a modified electronic Delphi (e-Delphi) methodology to arrive at an expert consensus on which PROMs are most suitable for clinical and research applications, and (3) establish a periodicity table for the administration of PROMs over time in a real-world evidence study.

Methods

To identify appropriate PROMs for pediatric patients and families with T1D and CGMs, we conducted an asynchronous, e-Delphi process with a multidisciplinary group of experts from around the country. We identified candidate instruments through a literature review. The 3-round e-Delphi process was conducted via a study website, email, and web-based forms. Participants provided opinions on the usefulness of instruments, age validation, feasibility, time, and frequency of administration.

Results

In total, 16 experts participated in the e-Delphi process; 4 of whom consistently participated in all 3 rounds. We identified 62 candidate instruments, which were narrowed down to 12 final PROMs across 5 domains: diabetes distress and burden (n=4), autonomy (n=2), quality of life (n=1), psychosocial (n=3), and technology acceptance (n=2). A quarterly administration schedule was developed to reduce burden on participants.

Conclusions

PROMs can provide critical insights into the psychosocial well-being of patients. The specific measures identified in the paper are particularly well suited for pediatric patients with T1D using CGMs. Clinical implementation could help health care providers, patients, and families to engage in more comprehensive disease management.

Published: October 2022

Background

The COVID-19 lockdown imposed a sudden change in lifestyle with self-isolation and a rapid shift to the use of technology to maintain clinical care and social connections.

Objective

In this mixed methods study, we explored the impact of isolation during the lockdown on the use of technology in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods

Older adults (aged ≥65 years) with T1D using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) participated in semistructured interviews during the COVID-19 lockdown. A multidisciplinary team coded the interviews. In addition, CGM metrics from a subgroup of participants were collected before and during the lockdown.

Results

We evaluated 34 participants (mean age 71, SD 5 years). Three themes related to technology use emerged from the thematic analysis regarding the impact of isolation on (1) insulin pump and CGM use to manage diabetes, including timely access to supplies, and changing Medicare eligibility regulations; (2) technology use for social interaction; and (3) telehealth use to maintain medical care. The CGM data from a subgroup (19/34, 56%; mean age 74, SD 5 years) showed an increase in time in range (mean 57%, SD 17% vs mean 63%, SD 15%; P=.001), a decrease in hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL; mean 41%, SD 19% vs mean 35%, SD 17%; P<.001), and no change in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL; median 0.7%, IQR 0%-2% vs median 1.1%, IQR 0%-4%; P=.40) during the lockdown compared to before the lockdown.

Conclusions

These findings show that our cohort of older adults successfully used technology during isolation. Participants provided the positive and negative perceptions of technology use. Clinicians can benefit from our findings by identifying barriers to technology use during times of isolation and developing strategies to overcome these barriers.
Home Care in the Daily Lives of Older People: Protocol for an Ethnographic Two-Year Longitudinal Study (Preprint)
Authors: Harnett Tove , Jönson Håkan , Fäldtman Alexander
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Research on eldercare has been dominated by a provider-oriented perspective, concerned with the conditions and views of care providers. There are striking differences compared with the field of disability studies, where help is framed as part of a larger project of having a daily life and being included in society. Pilot interviews indicate that older people develop active strategies to make care work. These include practical preparations, emotional activities such as showing an interest in staff members’ lives, or rhetorical skills in asking for help.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this project is to develop empirical and theoretical knowledge of eldercare as a relational practice, accomplished by older people in their daily lives. This perspective will also offer an alternative to ongoing attempts to reduce the user perspective to an issue about older people acting as customers in a market.

METHODS

The project will map, investigate, and follow up on care use from the perspective of care users. The project has an ethnographic 2-year longitudinal approach. Data consist of interviews and participant observations with 35 persons (home care users and cohabitating partners) and a diary study with additional 10 care users. Inclusion criteria are people 65 years or older with home care provided by needs assessors. It is preferred that they have had home care between 6 months and 2 years in order to follow a progression in roles, identities, and strategies within home care use.

RESULTS

Between May and October 2022, 25 interviews with home care users were conducted. Data collection with follow-up interviews and observations, analysis, and reporting of findings will be completed by December 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

By studying care use in the context of older people’s lives the project will add important knowledge about the strategies and adjustments older people apply to make care arrangements work. A user-oriented perspective will further the understanding of how power relations play out in home care over time in relation to the formal rights, categorical belongings, and established norm systems that place the user in superior or subordinate positions.

IRANIAN FOLKLORE, PROVERBS, AND ASPIRATION FOR DEVELOPMENT
Authors: KARAMI FARIBA
Published: October 2022

Social scientists strongly believe that cultural norms and values shape, stimulate, direct, and influence all activities of human societies. This study attempts to provide a sociological analysis of cultural components, in particular the content of the proverbs included in Dehkhoda’s Amsal va Hekam (Proverbs and Parables) and their role in Iran’s underdevelopment. This book was chosen because it is by far the most comprehensive book in this regard with more than 50,000 proverbs. Through a content analysis of all these proverbs using the qualitative content analysis approach, the researcher concluded that 2510 proverbs were related to development, of which 894 proverbs (35%) conveyed development-consistent concepts and 1616 others (65%) conveyed anti-development concepts. In addition, using the field study method and interviews with 40 people with relatively good knowledge of proverbs, it was shown that 276 proverbs contained development-related concepts, of which 64 proverbs (23%) conveyed development-consistent and 212 others (77%) conveyed anti-development concepts. It was concluded that a considerable number of the proverbs conveyed concepts such as fatalism, a lack of innovativeness, death, misogyny, contentment, and so on. Obviously, such a culture in the community leads to passivity of its members. Given the unquestionable role of cultural factors in human activities and that of cultural components such as proverbs in Iran’s underdevelopment process, cultural planners need to pay more attention to these factors and provide appropriate solutions to reduce the negative effects of the development-impeding proverbs as well as other similar cultural components in society.

Authors: Silva Emmily Sousa da , Coimbra Beatriz Zimermano , Pompilio João Vitor Marcato , Ponce José Burgos
Published: October 2022

The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the body. Among the functions of this gland, we can mention the secretion of the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), whose release occurs by the control of the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Furthermore, it is involved in calcium metabolism, through the hormone calcitonin. Thyroid cancer is rare (about 1% of all neoplasms), however it is the most frequent among malignant endocrine neoplasms. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) accounts for more than 80% of thyroid carcinomas. In this study, bibliographic searches were carried out using the descriptors “papillary thyroid carcinoma” and “p53”; results elucidated the role of the p53 gene in the development of CPT. Due to the fundamental role of the p53 family in cellular changes, there is currently a representation of very attractive targets in the development of anticancer drugs. Thus, the new therapeutic targets indicate that, mainly, multikinase inhibitors (MKIs) may represent a potential therapeutic target.

Authors: da Silva Suzane Rodrigues
Published: October 2022

The crisis of capitalism has as one of its causes the fall in the rate of profit and financial exuberance, and each of these causes affected the employment of the proletariat as a whole, but in this work emphasis was given to the female proletariat. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the precariousness of the employment of the female proletariat in Brazil between 2008-2016 in the context of crisis. This is a bibliographic research, with a qualitative approach, in which books and articles were used as a source, in relation to the articles they were consulted in the brazilian digital library of theses and dissertations and Scielo database. The following inclusion criteria were used: articles available in full published between the years 2002-2019. It is concluded that between the years 2008-2016, the precariousness of employment affected mostly the female proletariat, and that the possible solutions to this problem must go beyond the partial solutions - in terms of public policies - that have been thought up until now, thus necessary to overcome the current political and economic system.
Gesture Controlled Mouse and Voice Assistant
Authors: Gagnani Lokesh , Patel Hetvi , Chaturvedi Sakshi , Jaiswal Rajeshwari
Published: October 2022

Abstract: This project advocates a Human Computer Interaction method where cursor movement can be controlled via real-time camera by making use of human hand postures recognition. This method is an alternative to current techniques, which include manually pressing buttons or using physical computer mouse. Instead, it uses camera and computer vision software to manage different mouse events and can carry out any action that a conventional computer mouse can. The Virtual Mouse color recognition application will continuously gather real-time photos, which will then go through several conversions and filters. Once everything is converted, the application will use image processing to extract coordinates of specified color position from converted frames. The process then compares current color schemes within the frames to a list of color combinations, where each combination corresponds to a particular set of mouse operations. If the current color scheme matches, the application will perform the mouse command, which will be converted into a real mouse command on the user's computer. In addition to that authors have also developed a voice assistant to improve user productivity by managing routine tasks of the user and by providing information from online sources to the user because voice assistant is effortless to use.
Deconstruction of the Myth of Big Brother in the Novels of Thomas Brussig
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Kuchumova Galina V.
Published: October 2022

The article studies the process of deconstruction of the image-myth “Big Brother” in the German novels by Thomas Brussig Am kürzeren Ende der Sonnenallee, Helden wie wir. Important forms of dealing with traumatic experience in the life of East Germans under socialism are irony, humor, laughter, parody, grotesque. Anecdotal and humorous components in the novels by Brussig are bidirectional. The author’s laugh destroys the ideological structures and the omnipotence of the “Big Brother” and at the same time expresses sincere nostalgia for the good old days.
A Russian Trace in Ulla Hahn’s Poem My Father
Authors:   St. Thomas Institute, Lipke Stephan
Published: October 2022

The essay shows that U. Hahn’s poem My Father is constructed like a diptych: in its first part the lyrical “I” expresses her hatred towards her rude and uneducated father. In the second part she understands: he is not guilty of his rudeness and lack of education. Now, thinking about him no longer makes her hate but rather strive for a “new world”. Accordingly, the meaning of “Russia” as an image for describing the father changes. In the first part he is presented as a subaltern who was “seduced” to fight against “the Red” (i.e. the USSR). In the second part he appears as a human being who, together with his daughter, interprets the existence of “red” countries as pledge of a more just world.

Artistic Interaction between Lev Kopelev, H. Böll and Alexander Solzhenitsyn: Studying the History of Literary Contacts between Rhein and Moscow
Authors:   St. Thomas Institute, Lipke Stephan
Published: October 2022

The article deals with the contacts between Lev Kopelev, Russian specialist in German studies and literary critic, German novelist Heinrich Böll, and Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn. We study the importance of Böll’s works for the perception of Germany in Russia after 1956, and the role of his friendship with Lev Kopelev in the relations between both countries. The article shows how their friendship influenced the way Böll perceived Solzhenitsyn’s works. Böll interprets Solzhenitsyn as a renewer of Socialist realism and as a writer who defends common people against the power of the State. Due to this Böll offers a “progressive” perception of Solzhenitsyn, that goes beyond interpreting him as an anticommunist or a Russian nationalist.
Wolfgang Koeppen in the USSR
Authors: Zatshevsky Evgeny A.
Published: October 2022

The article is based on the analysis of the travel notes by the West German writer W. Koeppen written during his trip to the USSR. He went in search of the Russia he knew from the books of Russian and some Soviet writers, but the reality he faced did not always correspond to the image he had in his mind. Koeppen pays special attention to human rather than political causes of the transformation of a once revolutionary country into a state devoid of a live relation with its citizens.

Prose of the Russian Germans in the Second Half of the 20th and the Beginning of the 21st Century
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities (RSUH), Seifert Elena I.
Published: October 2022

This article examines novels and short stories written by the Russian Germans of the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21th century, such as V. Klein, G. Belger, I. Gergenroeder, G. Wormsbacher, O. Kling, N. Kosco, E. Hummel and other authors. The prose of the Russian Germans expresses a complex attitude that occurs due to elaborating the themes of deportation, labor army, war, emigration. Most of the novels were written in the period from 1957 till the present time, as writing such prose, especially of large and medium size, was difficult during the war and post-war period. Despite its adventurous history, the literature of the Russian Germans has now returned to its natural course and is actively restoring itself, moving from purely national problems to universal ones.
The Perception of Yevgeny Baratynsky’s Works in Post-War Germany (Based on Christoph Meckel’s Novel A Message for Baratynsky)
Authors: Fuchs-Shamanskaya Liudmila P.
Published: October 2022

The article studies some aspects of the perception of Yevgeny Baratynsky’s work in post-war Germany on the example of Christoph Meckel’s novel A Message for Baratynsky. The creative interpretation of Baratynsky’s work in the novel by Meckel is based on the parallelism of the subjective autobiographical and documentary biographical layers of the narrative, which are connected by the leading motif of the poet’s loneliness in the society. The German writer considers the fate of Baratynsky as a historical confirmation of his pessimistic attitude toward the future of the post-war German generation.
