Authors: Marcus Emma , Summers Reagan
Published: January 2025

Human trafficking is a global concern with a prevalence that likely exceeds 6.3 million people per year worldwide and a significant amount in the United States alone. This unique patient population requires high-quality trauma-informed care to address their complex medical and psychosocial needs. This case study examines the use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) in combination with trauma-informed care in the treatment of a survivor of human trafficking. The patient had many years of complex trauma and physical abuse, including multiple head injuries, with subsequent chronic migraines, but presented with an acute exacerbation. While awaiting further workup, cranial osteopathy treatment was performed with informed consent and trauma-informed considerations with significant relief of somatic symptoms. OMT, in conjunction with trauma-informed care, offers a unique opportunity to address the physical and psychological symptoms of this underserved population with many opportunities for further application and research.

Betoniranje u posebnim uslovima odnosi se na primenu specifičnih tehnika i metoda betonskih radova u uslovima kao što su ekstremne temperature, visoka vlažnost, podvodni radovi, agresivne sredine, pod visokim pritiskom ili u područjima sa povećanim seizmičkim rizicima. U takvim uslovima beton mora biti prilagođen kako bi se osigurala potrebna čvrstoća, trajnost i sigurnost. U hladnim uslovima koristi se beton sa dodatkom aditiva za ubrzanje stvrdnjavanja, dok u toplim uslovima treba koristiti aditive koji usporavaju proces stvrdnjavanja. Betoniranje u vlažnim uvjetima ili pod vodom zahtijeva primjenu posebnih tehnika, kao što je upotreba vodootpornog betona ili betoniranje u šupljinama pod vodom. Pored glavnih problema prilikom betoniranja u ovim uslovima, koristimo i odgovarajuće mere zaštite za navedene slučajeve. Pravilna priprema materijala, kontrola temperature, vlažnosti i tehnologija ugradnje ključni su za postizanje željenih performansi betonskih konstrukcija.

Authors: Carissa Margaret Sijabat  , Nurazizah Yova Ekaputri  , Nakhwa Nabilla Atmaja  , Sirait Lenni Herawati , Dian Marisha Putri
Published: January 2025

This study analyzes social media comments related to a controversial incident involving Gus Miftah and a street vendor, using Edward T. Hall's theory of High- and Low-Context Communication. The goal is to identify the degree of context in each comment and explore how cultural and social values shape online discourse. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on 9 user-generated comments from a social media platform. The comments were categorized as either High-Context or Low-Context based on the use of cultural references, implicit meanings, and the need for shared cultural knowledge to understand the message. The analysis found that 5 out of 9 comments (55%) were Ligh-Context, while 4 comments (45%) were How-Context. High-context comments often utilized religious symbolism, cultural idioms, and implicit moral critiques, reflecting Indonesia’s deeply rooted religious and moral values. In contrast, low-context comments relied on direct language, explicit criticism, and factual storytelling, making them universally understandable across cultures. The study highlights how local cultural norms, religious values, and moral expectations influence the nature of public discourse online. This approach demonstrates Hall's framework's relevance in cross-cultural communication studies while also providing insights into how Indonesian social media users engage in moral and religious criticism. This analysis can be used as a basis for future research on the intersection of culture, religion, and digital discourse.

Authors: Almeida João , Daniel Ana Dias
Published: January 2025

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems (EEs) have gained significant attention from scholars and policymakers, becoming a pivotal framework for understanding entrepreneurship's importance in regional development dynamics. However, existing literature presents several theoretical and empirical gaps, often neglecting a fundamental understanding of the local context. This paper aims to address this void by conducting a quantitative analysis of local EEs, using data from 25 Portuguese sub-regions. Drawing upon established EE theory, the study calculates the Portuguese Local EE Index, comprising 17 indicators and a Penalty for Bottleneck methodology. Correlation and regression analyses shed light on the relationships between local EEs and entrepreneurship outputs and socio-economic indicators. The findings also underscore the critical role of leadership, market demand, and access to financial capital as focal points for tailored policy interventions to address these local bottlenecks. Moreover, the study identifies urban-rural disparities, advocating for policies that bridge geographical divides and unlock the potential of rural entrepreneurship. Furthermore, significant variability is found within each region, highlighting the importance of adopting a local perspective when developing EEs. By advancing our understanding of local EE dynamics, this research contributes to a more nuanced discourse on entrepreneurship and informs evidence-based policymaking aimed at cultivating more vibrant and resilient entrepreneurial economies.

Authors: Tapia Herrera Diego Vicente , Freire Castañeda Luis Enrique , Hallo Caiza Eduardo Paúl
Published: January 2025

El artículo busca comprender el impacto del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) como una forma diferente de enseñar, donde los estudiantes dejan de ser oyentes pasivos y se convierten en participantes activos. Este enfoque permite desarrollar habilidades como pensar de manera crítica, trabajar en equipo y aprender de forma autónoma. El problema que aborda es la persistencia de métodos de enseñanza tradicionales, centrados en repetir información, que no preparan a los estudiantes para resolver problemas reales ni para enfrentarse a las exigencias actuales. Además, implementar el ABP no es sencillo, ya que requiere que los docentes estén mejor preparados, que los contenidos estén conectados con proyectos significativos y que existan formas adecuadas de evaluar los aprendizajes.
El estudio utilizó un enfoque metodológico mixto que combinó una revisión bibliográfica de teorías constructivistas y estudios empíricos con la aplicación de encuestas estructuradas a estudiantes. La revisión incluyó fuentes académicas relevantes para explorar los fundamentos y aplicaciones del Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP), mientras que las encuestas evaluaron dimensiones clave como colaboración, investigación, reflexión, participación y motivación. Los datos recopilados fueron analizados estadísticamente para identificar tendencias y áreas de mejora, destacando aspectos prácticos y teóricos del impacto del ABP en el contexto educativo. El resultado principal muestra que el ABP ayuda a aprender mejor, ya que conecta lo que se estudia con situaciones reales, lo que motiva a los estudiantes. Sin embargo, aún hace falta mejorar el uso de herramientas tecnológicas y fomentar más espacios para reflexionar sobre los errores y los logros.

Published: January 2025

Aim of this study is to investigate the interrelation between ethylene production, DA index (I AD), and postharvest treatments in four apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) cultivars: 'Buda', 'NS Kasnocvetna', 'NS Rodna', and 'NS6'. Apricots were harvested with I AD values between 0.41-0.80, stored at 1 °C for 15 days, followed by 3 days of shelf life at room temperature. Ethylene production and I AD were measured at harvest, after cold storage, and after shelf life. Preharvest treatments included nitrogen (N) and calcium (Ca), while postharvest treatments included modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP). Results showed cultivar-specific ethylene responses and I AD , with 'Buda' exhibited the most rapid decline of I AD and highest ethylene levels, and 'NS6' showing a lower decrease of I AD , especially under MAP and Ca treatments. Postharvest treatments effectively reduced a decrease of I AD for all tested cultivars. The findings highlight the need for cultivar-specific calibration of the I AD index to optimize the management of apricots at a given ripeness stage, thereby maintaining their overall quality and storage capability.

Authors: Hristova Nelly , Nikolova Nina , Stoyanova Elitsa
Published: January 2025

The 'Water-Energy-Food' (WEF) Nexus concept is evolving and expanding, as it is essential for finding synergies and compromises between these three sectors under climate change and for building a green economy. This work aims to present and analyse some indicators of the WEF Nexus Index for Bulgaria, according to which the country ranked 66th in the world in 2022. The data sources were the publications of the National Statistical Institute, the Ministry of Environment and Water, etc. The current study found that most indicators in the three pillars objectively assess the country's water resources, energy, and food sectors. The findings reveal a lack of information about the 'Food' pillar, resulting in an inability to assess this pillar objectively. Additionally, the evaluation of several sub-pillars based on the official data shows inaccuracies in the final WEF Index result for the country. This work represents the first presentation of the WEF Nexus Index for Bulgaria and continues the authors' study on the dynamics of the water, energy, and food sectors.

Sport and life through the prism of the Olympic spirit and Christian values
Authors: Luković-Jablanović Dragica , Markov-Čikić Ivana
Published: January 2025

Through the contemporary context of social, economic and political crises that are engulfed the world, as well as globally imposed value systems, the authors emphasize in this paper the importance of Christian values and the Olympic spirit in fostering both authentic identities, as well as preserving the unity of life on Earth. Value placed in the focus of this work is a constant human improvement through the sport and through the life in general by comparing Olympic motto "Citius, Altius, Fortius", with Christian values (forgiveness, love, mercy, tolerance, solidarity, modesty and others) whose source is the Gospel. Such a foundation gives society a greater chance to be successful, and sport and life follow the same meaningful direction - nurturing a spiritually and physically healthy individual. The comparative method, the historical method, and the method of content analysis are used as a methodological base of this work. This paper follows the genesis of the Olympic Games from antiquity to modern times, and sets research question: to what extent are the Olympic spirit and Christian values threatened in the 21st century? Authors make use of various connections between the Olympic spirit and Christian values, to promote high ethical and moral standards. Such standards are also part of best pedagogical practice. On the other hand, some negative trends in sports and life repeat themselves throughout history, leading us to opposite sides. Despite those regressive phenomena that divert society from the stable to fleeting, and from the eternal to the transient, examples of the exceptional personalities are discussed who stand for the lasting values in sport and life. Thanks to them, the Olympic flame as a symbol of the Olympic spirit keeps burning, along with the Blessed fire on Holy Saturday in Jerusalem.

Published: January 2025

The relationship between football, politics and the media sheds light on the essence of this modern sport, expressing the strength of their mutual connection, which is manifested through the power of the state and the media. The rapid development of football is conditioned by the media of mass communication, which enabled it to acquire such a position that will increase its influence on social movements. Just as the political elite quickly realized the power of the mass communication media, so with the increasing popularity of football presented in the form of a media spectacle, this sport profiled itself as the "perfect political tool". Considering the set goal of the paper to show the position of football in contemporary society with particular reference to the political and media aspect of the relationship between football and society, it can be concluded that the bond between the observed social constituents is very strong and unbreakable. Football as a global sport, on the one hand, represents a powerful source and platform for socio-political action, while, on the other hand, media coverage of probably the most popular sport in the world brings huge financial profit and influence. Therefore, it is completely clear that football is a very profitable and significant partner in the development of social relations.

Authors: Irsanti Kurnia , Umi Kalsum
Published: January 2025

This research was motivated by the researcher’s curiosity in using audio-visual learning media using the discussion method. This research is motivated by the low level of activity in the student learning process because the methods used are less varied and the media that supports learning has not been implemented optimally. The research method used in this article is a qualitative research method. Data collection techniques use interview, observation and documentation techniques. This type of media is able to provide a better learning experience because it includes sound and images. To support the success of this media, it must have adequate facilities and infrastructure that are suitable for use. A number of tools are used by teachers to convey concepts, ideas and experiences captured by the senses of sight and hearing based on the understandings that have been given. The use of audio-visual based learning media with discussion-based learning methods can increase the learning motivation of students in a less active learning process who pay attention to the lesson.

Authors:   Department of Music Education, University of Education Winneba - Ghana, Navei Nyamawero
Published: January 2025

Cultural festivals continue to receive diverse scholarly documentation in Ghana. Many of such studies tend to concentrate on the historical, social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic, tourism, educational, and political aspects of Ghanaian festivals with little attention paid to their environmental sustainability dimension. Situated within qualitative ethnographic design, the current study examined the Kʋkɔrɔ festival of Nimoro Division in the Buwa Kingdom of the Upper West Region of Ghana to reveal its environmental and cultural sustainability dimensions. Thematic analysis of interview and field photographic data elicited from twenty (20) participants showed that the revival of the Kʋkɔrɔ (forest) festival on May 18, 2024, rejuvenated the environmental sustainability consciousness of the people of Nimoro Division. Additionally, the festival provided an opportunity for social cohesion, and exhibition of diverse indigenous Sisaala cultural heritage of Nimoro Division, thereby promoting cultural education and preservation.

Published: January 2025

Noken adalah tas tradisional yang terbuat dari anyaman serat alami yang menjadi simbol identitas dan budaya masyarakat Papua. Tas ini dapat digunakan untuk membawa hasil kebun, serta membawa nilai-nilai budaya yang hidup dalam budaya tersebut. Namun, pelestarian noken terhambat oleh berbagai kendala, antara lain komodifikasi noken yang membuat masyarakat melihat nilai budaya hanya sebagai keuntungan finansial, serta kurangnya fasilitas dan dukungan yang dibutuhkan untuk mempertahankan keterampilan tradisional. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan peran perempuan dalam mempertahankan tradisi pembuatan noken dan kontribusi perpustakaan dalam mengatasi hambatan tersebut. Diharapkan kolaborasi antara perpustakaan dan perempuan pengrajin noken dapat membuahkan hasil yang lebih baik untuk pelestarian noken tradisional.

Chitosan (Chi) is frequently used in hydrogels because of its natural characteristics. It is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and does not include any harmful substances. Chitosan hydrogels were chemically synthesized by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (GA) at various ratios ranging from 1% to 10% (w/w), employing two types of molecular weight chitosan. The degree of swelling of wet hydrogels (non-drying) was examined at pH 2.0, 5.6, and 7.4. After the swollen hydrogels dried, their re-swelling capabilities were examined in distilled water. Chemically cross-linked chitosan hydrogels were found to be stable, so the hydrogels were able to swell repeatedly 5 times without losing any of their swelling properties. The storage modulus properties of chitosan hydrogels were measured using a Discovery Hybrid Rheometer-1 at different temperatures. The storage moduli of chitosan hydrogels remained stable as temperature increased, with maximum values of 0.01 MPa and 0.02 MPa for low and medium molecular weight hydrogels. The viscosity of chitosan solutions was determined using two instruments: a Discovery Hybrid Rheometer-1 at 25 °C at different shear rates, and a Brookfield Viscometer. The viscosity of low and medium molecular weight chitosan solutions were measured using a Brookfield Viscometer, resulting in values of 101.5 and 333.5 cps, respectively.

Language politeness is the values of politeness or ethics when speaking that are contained in the social rules of society. Language politeness plays an important role in communication because in communicating speakers not only pronounce the sounds of the language, but also ensures that the speech can be accepted by speech partners. Therefore, research on linguistic politeness is interesting to do, especially linguistic politeness in social media that is widely accessed by the public, one of which is the TikTok channel. This research was conducted to identify the principles of language politeness in 2 minutes 46 seconds video on @iamegamei's TikTok channel. The video criticizes the labeling of Indians as Vrindavan or Prindapan with negative connotations that are often done by Indonesian netizens. This research method uses descriptive qualitative pragmatic method with observing and note-taking techniques. Then the data is analyzed using a pragmatic equivalent method. From the research that has been conducted, it is found that the obedience and violation of language politeness thimbles. However, thimble violations dominate, causing language impoliteness in the TikTok video of @iamegamei's account.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the explicit instruction model on shooting free throw learning outcomes. The type of research used is a pre-experiment with a one group pretest posttest design. The research sample was selected using cluster random sampling technique, consisting of 32 students of class VI-D SDN Rungkut Menanggal I/582 Surabaya. The research instrument used was a learning outcome test, which included a knowledge test in the form of 10 multiple choice questions, and a skill test in the form of 10x free throw shooting. Through the results of the Wilcoxon test and the results of the percentage increase, the knowledge showed a p-Value of 0.00 (sig <0.05) with an increase of 62.83%. Process-oriented skills show p-Value 0.00 (sig < 0.05) with an increase of 231%. Meanwhile, product-oriented skills showed a p-Value of 0.80 (sig ≥ 0.05). The results showed that the application of the explicit instruction model had an effect on the learning outcomes of free throw shooting in the aspects of knowledge and process-oriented skills, but had no effect on the aspects of product-oriented skills.
