Management Logistics Maritime: A Literature Review
Authors: Barasa Larsen , Purba Damoyanto
Published: April 2024

Using a systematic literature review as the primary research approach, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the research trends connected to management of maritime logistics in both Asia and Indonesia. The literature review was carried out with the help of Leximancer, which is a text analytics software, in order to determine the major ideas and recurring topics that were addressed in the research that were chosen. A form of research known as a systematic literature review was utilized for this particular investigation. According to the findings of the comprehensive evaluation of the relevant literature, researchers in Asia and Indonesia follow comparable lines of enquiry in the field of maritime logistics management research. The studies concentrate their attention particularly on topics like the management of supply chains, the optimization of transportation, and the promotion of sustainability in maritime logistics. In spite of the fact that the study tendencies in Asia and Indonesia are quite comparable to one another, certain studies in Indonesia place a distinct emphasis on particular ideas like society, the environment, and marine development. Taking into account its archipelagic character, local rules, and vital position in international trade, these ideas are reflective of the particular challenges and opportunities that Indonesia has when it comes to the management of its maritime logistics. To summarize, Asian research on logistics and maritime management focuses on risks, performance, globalization, environmental sustainability, and green practices. Therefore, Asian trends can be utilized by Indonesian scholars in their studies of maritime logistics management.
The Electoral College’s Impact on Presidential Mandates and Agendas
Authors: Ahmed Bilal
Published: April 2024

The Electoral College is the method used in every four years to elect the President of the United States. Given that the Electoral College gives the power to elect the president to state-casted votes, the system has in recent years become a source of growing controversy given how two presidents, George Bush in 2000 and Donald Trump in 2016, without winning the national popular vote. These elections and the public discourse around them have brought new life to the purpose and impacts of the Electoral College. 
This paper uses key presidential elections, including those of John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Benjamin Harrison, Woodrow Wilson, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, give insight on how the Electoral College should now be understood. In particular, this paper examines the implications of the Electoral College on one fundamental question: Does election to the presidency via the Electoral College route fundamentally affect the ability of a president to govern effectively? 
Examining these elections, the context around and impact after these elections, and modern United States political history shows that when the Electoral College is not an extraordinary or exceptionally notable part of an election cycle, the Electoral College does not fundamentally affect the president’s ability to command public and political support required to effectively govern. However, when the Electoral College does become a point of focus during a presidential election and in the beginning of a president’s term, it has wide-ranging impacts. In particular, the College can shape the political and public mandate the president has to lead, shaping their overall agenda for their time in office; cause biases to arise towards certain states and conservative politics; and undermine their ability to serve as a unifying figure. With each modern election having an increased focus on the Electoral College, the system is likely to cause increased polarization and tension with each passing election if serious reforms are not undertaken.

Published: April 2024

Understanding ten significant of dengue virus a paramount due to its persistent threat across the globe causing numerous epidemic and millions of deaths every year. Despite advancement in healthcare, emerging outbreaks continue to claim millions of lives annually. The virus with its various serotype possesses a significant challenge to public health worldwide, its transmission through the arthropods which feed on the blood of higher animals further exacerbates its impact. This elucidating the mechanism and factor contributing to dengue virus pathogenicity is essential for developing strategies to combat its spreading. A systemic review is done while studying about Dengue virus serotypes to evaluate the relationship of dengue with other viral load and to develop an inhibitor in viral protein by using different bioinformatics tools in silico molecular docking. Phytochemicals were chosen to hit the target site of protein for inhibiting its active site in pathogenesis of Dengue virus. A phylogenetic lineage was observed of virus with other members of its family. Dengue virus has same similarities in some part of genomic structure with other viruses. Data bases were used to trace the genome of the virus. Different components of virus were analyzed and link was developed among those components within virus and other family members. Protein docking was performed by using the bioinformatics software auto docking. A pharmaceutical drug designing was developed to create inhibitor of protein structure in Dengue virus serotype-2. A comprehensive review of the methodology employed in our study including the experimental and computational techniques were utilized. Further we presented the results by analysis of genetic variation MCP-1 polymorphism and docking phytochemical inhibitors.

Published: April 2024

In the present research work, the influence of heat input rates on microstructures, hot tensile properties, and weld surface hardness number of Super Duplex Stainless Steel 2507 super duplex steels and austenitic steels 316L plates were investigated. Pulsed current and constant current modes were used in Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding to join the dissimilar metals using ER2205 as filler. Microstructural studies were revealed at different zones of pulsed and constant current TIG weldments using optical microscopy. The tensile test was conducted at two different temperature conditions (i.e., 27 and 350°C) to investigate the strength of dissimilar weldments. Hardness measurements were made on the weld surface along the transverse direction using Vicker’s hardness tester. The microstructures revealed the formation of inter-granular austenite at the fusion zone with grain boundaries with austenite structures. Due to the constant heat input, a significant microstructural development with high austenite fractions was observed in constant current (CC)-TIG weldment. In comparison to CC-TIG weldments (UTS at 27°C = 600 MPa UTS at 350°C = 456 MPa), higher tensile characteristics were noted in Pulsed Current (PC)-TIG weldments (UTS at 27°C = 695 MPa UTS at 350°C = 475 MPa). The UTS of PC-TIG weldment is improved by 15.8% when compared to CC-TIG weldment due to the controlled heat input rates. PC-TIG weldments exhibited improved hardness numbers in various zones with smaller HAZ widths than CC-TIG weldments.
Method of feature extraction of abnormal communication signal in network based on nonlinear technology
Authors: Gong Baofu
Published: April 2024

Accurate extraction of abnormal communication signal features in the network is the basis to ensure the completion of network communication. Therefore, a method of feature extraction of abnormal communication signal in network based on nonlinear technology is proposed. In this method, wavelet transform is adopted to decompose the abnormal network communication signals in the high- and low-frequency bands. According to the distribution characteristics of noise and signal in the frequency band, the corresponding parameters are selected for phase space reconstruction and nonlinear dimension reduction of local tangent space mainstream shape recognition algorithm, and the decomposition coefficients of wavelet packet after noise reduction are reconstructed to realize the nonlinear noise reduction of abnormal signal; the denoised abnormal communication signal in network is mapped to the high-dimensional feature space. The principal component is analyzed in accordance with the nonlinear function in the mapped feature space, and the nonlinear function is solved by self-organizing neural network to output the principal component extraction result. According to test results, this method has a significant signal noise reduction effect, results are more than 92% for different abnormal communication signals, and the features of abnormal signals are accurately extracted.
Unraveling PCOS: Exploring its causes and diagnostic challenges
Authors: Dar Mohd Altaf , Maqbool Mudasir , Qadrie Zulfkar , Ara Irfat , Qadir Afshana
Published: April 2024

Women in the reproductive age range are usually affected with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a complex and multifaceted condition. Anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and metabolic difficulties like hyperglycemia, hypertension, and obesity in women are all manifestations of this condition, which also affects the reproductive system. The National Institutes of Health in the 1990s, Rotterdam in 2003, and Androgen Excess Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in 2009 all contributed to the evolution of the diagnostic criteria for PCOS. The 2003 Rotterdam criteria are currently the most generally used criteria. They call for at least two of the three criteria – irregular menstrual periods, polycystic ovary morphology on imaging, and hyperandrogenism – either clinically or biochemically – to be present in order to diagnose PCOS. It is currently being suggested that the anti-Müllerian hormone in serum be used instead of follicular count as an official indicator of polycystic ovarian morphology/PCOS. Hyperandrogenism and irregular periods are essential components in determining PCOS in adolescent patients. More recently, it has been shown that artificial intelligence, especially machine learning, holds great promise for detecting and predicting PCOS with high accuracy, potentially assisting in early management and treatment decisions. Examining the underlying mechanisms, clinical symptoms, and challenges involved in making a diagnosis of PCOS in females is the premise of this review article.

Correcting misinterpretations on the distribution of feasible solution lengths in the traveling salesman problem
Authors: Shaw Jerry L. , Fuqua Donovan , Sohn Hansuk , Rodriguez-Borbon Manuel Ivan , Pimentel Victor
Published: April 2024

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is the canonical combinatorial optimization problem famous throughout literature.  There exists an objective function associated with every feasible solution.  However, the increase in the number of possible solutions makes this an NP-Hard problem.  We show that the central limit theorem (CLT) applies to the problem.  We then conduct extensive computational testing to show that the cycle lengths tend to a normal distribution as the problem grows large.  When the size of the TSP problem exceeds computational power, better understanding solution distributions allows us to save resources.  This is a non-trivial result as understanding solution distributions in huge TSP problems helps us to minimize computational effort that may not lead to significantly better results.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to study the photodegradation process of methylene blue using a synthetic chitosan-Fe2O3 composite and their characterization. Based on the characterization material synthetic, chitosan-Fe2O3 (1:1) composite showed the best material with the smallest crystal size (1.13 nm), the surface morphology was lumpy and had an uneven shape with the composition of the constituent (Carbon (C) 42.88%, Oxygen (O) 48.68%, and Iron (Fe) 29.90%), and showed the smallest energy band gap (1.41 eV) which led us to conclude that the formation of the chitosan-Fe2O3 composite can reduce the energy band gap of Fe2O3. The best composite material then was used to evaluate the activity in degrading methylene blue. The optimum condition in degrading was reached at a contact time of 180 min and pH 9 with a percentage decrease in methylene blue concentration of 90.00%. The effect of concentration variations occurred at 5 ppm with a decrease of 89.62%. Total organic carbon analysis showed that the decrease in methylene blue concentration reached 92.20%. Based on that, it is concluded that the chitosan-Fe2O3 composite could be a potential alternative material to degrade methylene blue.

Authors: Macias Pro Michael Anibal , Altamirano Briones Alejandro , Góngora Muñoz Erika , Fernández Andrade Alex , Fernández Andrade Kevin
Published: April 2024

The use of dyes in food industrial processes is limited due to significant pollution in aquatic receptors from their wastewater. To address this issue, this study focused on evaluating the adsorption of dyes Allura Red (R40) and Brilliant blue FCF (B1) using cocoa shells (CS) as an absorbent. To achieve this, a pre-treatment was applied, which involved washing, grinding and drying at a temperature of 80 °C for 24 h, followed by a sieving process. The effect of the adsorbent dose was then analyzed and it was calculated that the optimal dose was 4 g/L. Additionally, the effect of contact time was studied through a kinetic analysis, all tests were carried out at a pH level of 2. The obtained data were fitted to kinetic models, which allowed us to conclude that the adsorption kinetics fit two different models depending on the initial solution conditions, in a range from 0 to 0.1512 mmol/L. Specifically, the Pseudo Second-Order (PSO) model fitted R40, while the Elovich model was appropriate for B1. In summary, CS was found to be a viable adsorbent for dyes in contaminated waters.

Abstract. The present experiment was conducted from November 2020 to March 2021 at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University’s Horticulture Farm in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The investigation included four levels of vermicompost (T0= control, T1=3 t.ha-1, T2=6 t.ha-1 and T3=9 t.ha-1) and biofertilizer (F0=control, F1=3 kg.ha-1, F2=5 kg.ha-1 and F3=7 kg.ha-1) which was carried out by factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The broccoli variety ‘Green Carpet’ was used as planting material. The application of the treatment T3F3 (vermicompost at 9 t.ha-1 and biofertilizer at 7 kg.ha-1) resulted in the highest plant height (67.85 cm), number of leaves per plant (22.76), leaf length (60.57 cm), leaf breadth (23.23 cm) and chlorophyll (SPAD index) (54.90). However, statistically similar results were also observed for T2F3 in most cases (vermicompost at 6 t.ha-1 and biofertilizer at 7 kg.ha-1). The maximum stem diameter (4.98 cm) was recorded in T2F3. Fewest days to achieve 100% curd initiation (54 days), maximum curd diameter (13.19 cm), yield (15.84 t.ha-1) and vitamin C (64.34 mg 100 g-1) content were recorded in T3F3. With the exception of the fewer days required to initiate curd formation, all other parameters were statistically similar to those observed in the T2F3 treatment combination.

On Finding a ‘White Rose’: Realistic Hope Applied To Serious-Illness, Dying and Bereavement
Authors: AC Jones
Published: April 2024

The title of this brief discussion is inspired by the poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti ‘Where shall I find a white rose blowing?’ White roses are considered to symbolise honour, respect, dignity and peace, and are particularly relevant to loss, death, grief, and hope. The idea of hope when a person is dying is nonetheless complex, and can confuse and distress family members. While hope for curing a serious illness may not be possible, it is often helpful to review life, loves and relationships, in order to progress through the experience, and die with some sense of peace and equanimity - this is realistic hope. The brief account that follows is disguised, yet illustrates ways in which normal communication between family members became difficult, throughout episodes of serious ill-health. The usual ways that family members communicated were no longer helpful or could be tolerated by the family as a whole. Brief psychotherapy helped, and although confined to a single assessment consultation, all involved recognised the need for an immediate change in circumstances, in order to achieve and provide some level of emotional and relational comfort to one another, at a time of extreme crisis.
Myrmecofauna (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) of Gökçeada Island, Türkiye
Authors: Sert Esra , Karaman Celal
Published: April 2024

Türkiye is a very important country for faunal and floral studies due to its geographical location, the zoogeographic importance of its location and the biological richness it brings. This important area has been the subject of research on ants since second half of 19th century. However, studies on the ant fauna of the islands of Türkiye are very old and insufficient. For this reason, the ant fauna of Gökçeada, the largest island of Türkiye, was investigated by direct collecting and litter sifting methods in 2017-2018. 72 species belonging to 4 subfamilies and 23 genera were identified from 1105 ant samples obtained from 73 different localities and 16 different habitats. Among these species, Messor maculifrons Santschi, 1927 and Tetramorium sahlbergi Finzi, 1936 are new records for the ant fauna of Türkiye. In addition, the ergatoid queen of Hypoponera eduardi (Forel, 1894) was recorded for the first time outside the Afrotropical region.
Literatura infantil colombiana en clave de educación para la inclusión
Authors: Palacios-Varón Yury Alejandra , Trujillo-Vanegas Catalina
Published: April 2024

La literatura infantil es uno de los elementos que se incorpora en las formas de vida los niños y niñas. Como producto cultural cumple una función social y comunicativa, que puede hacer parte de la construcción subjetiva del mundo de estos sujetos sociales, partícipes de las configuraciones culturales, de ahí, que conocer el abordaje que hace este material literario frente a la educación y la inclusión, es relevante teniendo en cuenta las múltiples formas de exclusión existentes en el contexto colombiano. Este artículo expone los resultados de la investigación “Discursos vinculados a la educación para la inclusión en los libros álbum de la literatura infantil colombiana publicada entre el 2008 y 2021” que tuvo como objetivos identificar, caracterizar y analizar dichos discursos. La metodología desarrolló una perspectiva hermenéutica, empleando como método el análisis del discurso multimodal propuesto por Kress y Van Leeuwen (2001), que permite la revisión de los distintos modos semióticos encontrados en la narrativa del libro álbum. Los principales resultados fueron la predominancia de la ilustración como mecanismo clave en la representación de las categorías grupos y ámbitos sociales, atendiendo al campo de conocimiento emergente de la educación para la inclusión con la presencia de personajes en ciclos de vida, género, condiciones y ámbitos diversos. Las conclusiones sugieren que si bien, en Colombia existen unas apuestas literarias infantiles que vinculan temas de la educación para la inclusión, aún son incipientes las referencias a temas como la discapacidad, la diversidad étnica y de género en los libros álbum colombianos.
Pandemic, Imagination, and the Rise of the Animal Kingdom
Authors: Boivin Jennifer
Published: April 2024

The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 caused most countries to declare a national lockdown during the spring of 2020 to avoid the further spread of infection. By the end of April of that year, most large urban centers in the world faced empty streets, closed businesses, and an eerie absence of their human population. During the lockdown, a new legend emerged, largely popularized by the media and different social networks: around the world, wildlife was repopulating and reclaiming the urban space once occupied by humans. This article addresses wildlife tales that appeared in the media during the first major lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020. I argue that these stories share narrative patterns with other catastrophe tales, that they were created as a vernacular mechanism to cope with confinement, and that they were also a creative manifestation of human hope for a better post-pandemic world.
Childhood: The Paradoxes of Autonomy
Authors: Polivanova Katerina N. , Bochaver Alexandra A.
Published: April 2024

The article problematizes the possibility of developing agency in childhood. It is shown that the usually non-differentiable constructs "agency" and "autonomy" psychologically represent fundamentally different actions. The basis for their distinction is the nature of the individual's interaction with the social structure. Autonomy is an integration into an existing structure, the acquisition of skills for independent functioning in it. Agency, on the other hand, involves the transformation of the structure and "crossing the border of semantic fields," according to Yu.M. Lotman.
There have been several important "turns" in childhood research over the past decades. Initially, childhood was considered as a preparation for adulthood, which was implemented in fundamentally hierarchical forms of education. Since about the 1970s, children have been talked about as potential actors in the social world. And since the beginning of the XXI century, the discussion of independence (autonomy) has been gaining momentum, as part of which they distinguish the ability to act independently of others and act in accordance with their goals and beliefs. 
The authors distinguish agency as overcoming the boundaries characterizing the structure, and autonomy as actions within the initially defined boundaries. They consider productive action (event) to be the mechanism of agency as a situation—changing action, and as a way of "learning" agency - a trial, including a game. 
Examples of statements by teenagers and young people that can be qualified as specific to agency, independence and volitional action are given.
Entrepreneurial Education of Russian Universities' Students as a Way to Form Agency
Authors: Morozova Ekaterina V.
Published: April 2024

The number and variety of entrepreneurship training programs in universities is growing around the world. At the same time, there is no consensus in the research field on what the future entrepreneur should be taught and how to measure the effectiveness of such training.  One of the points of view suggests that the result of teaching entrepreneurship at a university should be the formation students' "agency" - the ability to purposefully change the environment through their own entrepreneurial project.  However, at this stage, there is no agreement in the scientific and educational community on what indicators can be included in the corresponding construct, so that a reasonable conclusion can be drawn whether agency is formed in the process of entrepreneurial learning.  This article attempts to answer this question by conducting interviews with graduates of the leading entrepreneurship education programs that have been implemented both in Russian universities (formal sector, 64 interviews)) and in the informal sector of student education (24 interviews).  In this study, students' internal attitudes related to understanding the essence of entrepreneurial activity were studied, and these attitudes were compared with the theoretical construct of agency in its interpretation, presented in a series of earlier works by HSE staff (Sorokin P.S. et al.).  In the empirical part of the study, it was confirmed that the internal attitudes of students who have completed entrepreneurial training and successfully implemented their entrepreneurial project do indeed correspond to the theoretical framework of agency.  The main contribution of this article is the development of agency indicators in relation to entrepreneurial learning and the justification of their applicability for assessing the results of educational programs.
From the Phenomenon of Self-Sufficiency to the Mechanisms of Self-Determination
Authors: Leontiev Dmitry A.
Published: April 2024

The paper presents a systematic analysis of key explanatory concepts of different levels of abstraction, being used in the psychological and interdisciplinary concepts for the explanation of the phenomenon of self-sufficiency. The phenomenon of self-sufficiency is defined basing on the understanding of person as the instance which human being as an autonomous agent may oppose to both internal impulses and external pressures, biological and social determinants acting both from within and from outside. The closest construct is that of agency. Agency is viewed as personality variable, reflecting the person’s capacity to initiate and control their actions. Agency appears as the explanatory construct as regards the observable phenomenon of self-sufficiency. However, being holistic and indivisible, it, in its turn, needs a more detailed analysis. 
Such a brief analysis is provided for the psychological constructs of proactivity, autonomy, personal causation and self-determination as well as for more specific theoretical models of intrinsic / extrinsic motivation, phases of a motivated action, personality potential as the potential of autoregulation, and freedom and responsibility as two sides of personal causation and autodetermination, taking shape during the transition from childhood to adulthood. Freedom is treated as the highest form of activity, a side of personal causation and autodetermination which allows us feeling independent of outer pressures and inner impulses. Responsibility is the second side of personal causation and autodetermination, the highest form of autoregulation, associated with viewing oneself as a cause of some events in the world, it is a controlled capacity of producing goal-directed changes in oneself and in the world. In conclusion the construct of personal life position as an integral person’s attitude to one’s own life is introduced. The constructs analyzed in the paper present the multilevel conceptual frame for treating the phenomenon of self-sufficiency.

The article defines the specifics of private legal protection of the right to freedom and personal inviolability of an individual in Ukraine. It elaborates on the content of the right to freedom and personal inviolability of a natural person, including both physical and psychological inviolability. The article identifies methods that violate the psychological inviolability of an individual (hypnosis, polygraph, etc.). Private legal protection of the right to freedom and personal inviolability, characterized as a personal non-property right of a natural person, has been analyzed in the context of legal regulations. The conclusion has been drawn that the right to freedom and personal inviolability is safeguarded through the establishment of a set of prohibitions regarding its infringement and methods of protection in case of violation. Both private legal and public legal means of protecting the right to freedom and personal inviolability of a natural person have been identified. The article characterizes violations of the right to freedom and personal inviolability of an individual in the context of their placement in places of liberty deprivation (orphanages, psychiatric hospitals, boarding schools, military guard-houses, detention facilities, etc.). Through the analysis of Ukrainian judicial practice and the European Court of Human Rights, the conclusion has been drawn that there are cases where there are no legal grounds for placing individuals in places of liberty deprivation, as well as instances of torture, cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of these individuals.
The Role of Leisure Practices and Local Identity in Migrants’ Inclusion in Two Rural Norwegian Municipalities
Authors: Lynnebakke Brit
Published: April 2024

This article discusses the role of local identity and local leisure practices in migrants’ inclusion processes in two rural Norwegian localities. The discussed study was conducted in municipalities that had experienced increased international migration following the EU expansion in 2004 and had a long history of internal in‐migration. In the study, individuals’ social inclusion and belonging processes are treated as inseparable from a locality’s dominant local narratives, practices, and norms—drawing on theories on inclusion/exclusion processes in places. Based on findings from semi‐structured interviews with local natives, internal migrants, and international migrants, the study found that different leisure practices were central to local identity in the two localities, which had implications for what was expected of migrants in order for them to be accepted locally. These findings align with what is commonly conceived as outdated community study research findings. The findings indicate the continued relevance of the local for people’s identification and migrants’ inclusion processes and support a need for closer theoretical and methodological integration of internal and international migration research. Another central finding was that in one of the localities, national narratives about civic engagement were evoked by some majority Norwegians as additional arguments for the importance of migrants’ involvement in local leisure activities. These interviewees’ main concern appeared to be ensuring local—rather than national—cultural continuity and cohesion. Finally, the different inclusion grammars in the two localities illustrate that inclusion processes in one locality should not by default be seen as representative of what is transpiring in a nation‐state.

Published: April 2024

The problem: the disclosure of the laws and features of the development of a large Siberian city will help to understand both its structure and the process of formation of a city-numerous form. The generation of the city involves the natural basis, the population in its pro-strange form, which is expressed in the growth of populated cells of the city. People satisfy the needs for housing, in places of employment, in social services, in a high-quality environment. The historical process of becoming an urban planning form is complex and contradictory. Currently, there is no formula that reveals the dependence of the urban planning form on the totality of development arguments: state policy, the interests of developers, the interests and needs of the population, contradictions that lie in the nature of the city’s investment.
Purpose: to identify the prerequisites for explaining the urban planning form of Irkutsk by natural, historical, economic, socio-cultural and religious factors.
Methods: identification of city-forming factors, historical process of seeds or primary cells of the planning structure, ways to increment this cell tissue along the axes of the planning framework, analysis of the evolution of the street network, forms of planning packaging of different areas of the city with different genetic codes.
Results: the main regularities of origin of a town-planning form of the city of Irkutsk are revealed.

Published: April 2024

The architectural and urban heritage of large and small Russian cities is currently not fully appreciated and used to improve the quality of life of the population. Medium and small cities of the Leningrad region have a rich natural and historical and cultural potential and need further spatial development. This work is devoted to the master planning of a fragment of the historical settlement of Novaya Ladoga in the framework of the annual competition “The Concept of Spatial Development of Municipalities of the Leningrad Region”, which was held by the Committee for Urban Planning Policy of the Leningrad Region. One of the fundamental tasks of the urban development of the territory in this case is continuity, the preservation of historical and cultural diversity and the memory of the place. The novelty of the conceptual project proposal lies in the creation of not only a coherent and integral system of public spaces at the citywide and regional levels through a system of points of attraction in order to develop tourism, but also in the formation of an identical cultural and educational cluster to increase the level of human potential of the settlement. Thus, as a result of the renovation of the urban environment, an attempt was made to link the times through the formation of a cultural and educational center and a developing modern infrastructure.
Trauma Exposure, Suicidality, and Symptom Severity Among Young Adults Seeking Counseling Who Report Childhood Emotional Abuse
Authors: Watts Justin R. , Chumbler Neale R. , Castleberry Joshua , Lazzareschi Nicholas R.
Published: April 2024

There is limited research regarding childhood emotional abuse (CEA) and its influence on mental health across development, as most studies of childhood maltreatment to date have focused on childhood sexual and physical abuse. We conducted a cross-sectional study on 2,604 young adults seeking counseling services at a large post-secondary institution in the southwestern United States. Participants were screened for trauma exposure, mental health issues, and suicidality. Findings indicated that CEA was significantly associated with higher rates of exposure to other traumatic events, more severe depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, academic distress, eating concerns, family distress, hostility, and substance use. CEA exposure was also significantly associated with more frequent suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and non-suicidal self-injury prior to seeking counseling services. As CEA was associated with elevated symptom presentation and more severe risk for suicide, recommendations for counseling practice and future research are discussed.
