Notes on the Iconography of Witchcraft in Romanian Art
Authors:   “Babeș-Bolyai” University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, NEAGOTA BOGDAN
Published: November 2023

In this article we seek to describe the methodology that gives shape to the various components of the documentation of the book and identifies the different fields to which the issues discussed belong: art history (iconography, religious art), late antique and medieval literature (apocryphal texts), ethno-anthropology (with ramifications in visual anthropology, ethnology, folklore studies) and the history of mentalities (where research into witchcraft takes place chiefly within historical anthropology). The aspects discussed in this reading note: the social and cultural contextualisation of iconography, through an exploration of its social, cultural and mentality-related forms of expression, which connect it at a profound level to traditional peasant/pastoral societies; eschatological iconography concerned with witchcraft in Romania, seen as an eschatological replacement, with preventative and punitive functions, for the punitive institutions of Central and Eastern Europe that were responsible for eradicating the phenomenon of witchcraft; a comparative treatment of eschatological themes in Romanian iconography, in the regional context of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, through a comparison between them and those of the region south of the Danube (Bulgaria) and of the northern Slav area (Ruthenia); the absence from iconography of the distinction between the morphological classes of magic, based on their trans-human magical agents, that we find in oral narrative traditions; a systematic handling of local eschatological iconography and oral narrative repertoires; the issue of cultural transmission and the structure and composition of mechanisms of transmission, whose orality consists not only of words but also of images; discussion of the linguistic and iconographic typologies advanced by the book’s authors.

From Moral Realism to Axiarchism
Authors: Cutter Brian ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: November 2023

Moral realism faces a well known genealogical debunking challenge. I argue that the moral realist’s best response may involve abandoning metaphysical naturalism in favor of some form of axiarchism—the view, very roughly, that the natural world is “ordered to the good.” Axiarchism comes in both theistic and non-theistic forms, but all forms agree that the natural world exists and has certain basic features because it is good for it to exist and have those features. I argue that theistic and non-theistic forms of axiarchism are better positioned than metaphysical naturalism to avoid two commitments that a moral realist should seek to avoid: that the correctness of our moral beliefs is a major coincidence, and that there is a complete explanation of our moral beliefs that does not mention any moral truths.

Authors: Azis Muhammad Abdul
Published: November 2023

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning is a crucial aspect of education for millions of students globally. Traditional language instruction often focused on isolated skill development, but integrated skill teaching approaches have gained popularity in recent years. These approaches aim to create authentic and meaningful language learning experiences by connecting language skills and embedding them in real-life contexts. This study assesses the impact of integrated skill teaching on EFL learners' motivation and engagement. The research was conducted with a diverse group of EFL learners in (describe the setting), utilizing a mixed- methods design. Quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews were employed to gather comprehensive data on learners' motivation and engagement levels. The findings demonstrate that integrated skill teaching fosters a deeper connection to the language, leading to improved fluency, communicative competence, and a sense of relevance in language use. Learners' increased enthusiasm and willingness to actively engage in the learning process underscore the effectiveness of this approach in empowering EFL learners. The research contributes valuable insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to design more effective language programs that enhance learners' motivation and engagement, ultimately leading to improved language proficiency and overall language learning experiences.

Malaria, a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, remains a global health challenge. Understanding the intricate dynamics between the host's iron regulation and the survival strategies of the parasites is crucial for the development of innovative antimalarial strategies. Hepcidin, a central regulator of iron homeostasis, has emerged as a key player in the host's defense against malaria. This comprehensive review explores the multifaceted roles of hepcidin in safeguarding the host from malaria infection. We delve into the molecular mechanisms of hepcidin regulation, its impact on iron availability, and its influence on the immune response. Furthermore, we discuss the complex interplay between hepcidin and Plasmodium species, revealing how the host's iron management influences the parasites' survival and pathogenicity. Additionally, we explore the therapeutic potential of targeting hepcidin and iron regulation in the context of malaria treatment. By unraveling the intricate web of hepcidin's functions as the "gatekeeper" of iron in malaria resistance, this review contributes to the development of novel strategies for combating this deadly disease.

Development of the Free Learning Curriculum for 2022, and the amount of public enthusiasm for the Integrated Islamic Education model has encouraged the Integrated Islamic Boarding School (PPIT), to develop formal education based on Islamic boarding schools; PAUD IT, SDIT, SMPIT, SMKIT, SMAIT which are integrated in character education through the development of an independent curriculum outside the classroom through the Short Semester Course Agro& Farming educational tour program at the Islamic Center Al Huda, Selogiri The construction of an educational tourism facility for the Agro& Farming Islamic Center Al Huda in Selogiri requires a large amount of money so a project feasibility study analysis is needed which is an important factor in a project evaluation although technical and social aspects also determine it. To carry out an economic analysis, economic benefits and costs are needed, which are then made into cash flows based on the implementation program. Calculating the value of the EIRR is assumed to be the loan service, calculating the B/C Ratio which is the difference between Benefit and Cost, and calculating the NPV value which is the difference between the profit (benefit) and cost (cost) in the conditions of average margin mudhorobah/murabahah loan services -12% average. Based on the Feasibility Study for the Development of the Agro& Farm Islamic Center Al Huda Wonogiri, it can be concluded that; the amount of EIRR = 24.0% > 12%, it is assumed that with the loan service margin being greater than 12% (current interest rate), then the project can be said to be economically viable. The B/C value = 1.932 > 1 means that if the B/C value at the loan service margin is 12% > 1, then the construction of the Agro& Farm Islamic Center Al Huda Wonogiri can be built. The difference between the profit (benefit) and cost (cost) on the condition of an average loan margin of 12% is (B-C) = IDR 723,283,139.00 > 0

Participants' Perceptions of Burden During the Needs Assessment Process
Authors: Pinckney-Lewis Kim
Published: November 2023

Needs assessments are avoided due to perceptions of burden associated. While most research focuses on the facilitators, this research leverages the Perceived Burden in Needs Assessment Participant Scale (a= 0.86) to explore the participant perspective. Most participants reported low levels of burden (n = 244, M = 2.97, SD = 0.88), debunking the myth of severe levels of needs assessment burden. The results also yielded implications for NA practice, including that practitioners should: 1) make use of extant data, 2) ensure tasks and recommendations are reasonable, 3) minimize what participants must give up, 4) remain flexible, and 5) seek understanding.
Designing Virtual Teams for K-12 Teachers
Authors: Jensen Shawna , Trespalacios Jesús
Published: November 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic turned many homes into virtual workspaces. Until the pandemic hit, business organizations were the primary users of virtual team models in the workplace. As a result of the pandemic, organizations outside the business sector had to deploy communication technologies to support virtual teams and virtual teamwork amongst employees. K12 teachers were and still are amongst those impacted by this shift. However, the current literature does not reflect enough evidence to support disciplines outside of business organizations with virtual teams in the workplace. As a result, K12 teachers do not have access to virtual team models that best support their progress toward desired outcomes. This article addresses this gap by first reviewing and sharing relevant literature on virtual teams. This paper then follows with a model for virtual team use by K12 practitioners based on the literature around virtual teams and professional learning.
Flexibility Within Structure: Factors contributing to Faculty Perceptions of Autonomy and Standardization in Course Design and Delivery
Authors: Nehrbass Kenneth , Murcray Ted , Morris Elizabeth
Published: November 2023

At times, universities’ structures for quality assurance can impede professors’ sense of autonomy. This descriptive qualitative study examines factors that contribute to stakeholders’ perceptions regarding standardization and autonomy in the realm of course design and delivery. The central understanding of this study is that stakeholders are keen to adopt standardization when they perceive those structures to be advantageous for faculty, students, and degree programs. Yet stakeholders imagine the borders of these structures to be flexible, thus creating a space for autonomy. As administrators explain quality assurance structures to professors, they should leverage the perceived advantages and demonstrate to faculty how they will retain the required flexibility.

Authors: Hayes Aleshia , Kaplan-Rakowski Regina , Archibald Audon , Bland Dorothy , Lucke Heather , Heap Tania , Taylor Deken
Published: November 2023

Intentional training in storytelling is fundamental in journalism education, and effective storytelling requires empathy and perspective taking. Emerging media technologies, such as virtual reality and 360° video, are noteworthy for their ability to enhance user sense of presence and to build empathy. Using cardboard virtual reality viewers, this qualitative study explored how immersive 360° videos are relevant to journalism students’ core (i.e., emotional) skill acquisition in a classroom on crisis and trauma coverage. In this pilot study on applied instructional design, twenty-three student journal entries were analyzed, supported by the Cognitive and Affective Model of Immersive Learning (CAMIL). Key emerging themes included emotional impact, sense of presence, appeal of immersive experiences, and novelty. Pedagogical recommendations are presented to educators, instructional designers, and other audiences interested in integrating usable, existing, and affordable immersive content in journalism education.
The Power of Visual Storytelling to Create Behavior-Change in the Workplace
Authors: Welch R. , Fleming Richard
Published: November 2023

When an educational experience is positive, engaging, and inspiring, it can transform the lives of learners. The opposite, however, is far worse than simply students suffering boredom and can include liabilities to poor education and training such as lowered confidence, increased apathy, reduced productivity, and more frequent job turnover (Wlodkowski et al., 2001). In a poll, only a quarter of business leaders claimed that their internal learning programs measurably improved business outcomes (Smet et al., 2021). This paper will outline how story-based learning media can activate universal motivators and improve learning retention. By creating stories that leverage universal motivators, designers can produce curricula that transcend simple knowledge transfer—and instead, effect behavior change.
Exploring Low Mass Galaxies at Different Wavelengths
Authors: Johnson Thomas
Published: November 2023

We create a sample of potential AGN hosting dwarf galaxies from the MaNGA survey and AllWISE database for a redshift up to z 0.15. We select our sample with optical data obtained from the MaNGA survey then match these galaxies to sources in the AllWISE database, through a 10 arcsecond diameter search based on the right ascension and declination of our targets, to obtain infrared data. We find 141 likely potential AGN hosting galaxies from optical BPT analysis and 17 potential hosts from IR colour-colour analysis. We have compiled a list of galaxies for further analysis in other AGN indicating wavelengths, like radio and X-ray.

Authors: M.K. Ahmmed, , S. K Ghosh, , J Sarker, , M.M Islam, , Ahsan M.N.
Published: November 2023

The present study was conducted to determine the suitability of different larval feeds of Heteropneustes fossilis under laboratory condition. For this purpose, 30 days old Heteropneustes fossilis larvae were collected from local hatchery at Cachra in Jessore and acclimatized in a large rectangular aquarium for 2 days. The feeding trial was conducted for 30 days in triplicate with 30 larvae (0.74± 0.01 g; 2.95 ± 0.12 cm) in glass aquaria (54×36×36 cm3) each containing 30 L of water. Four different feeding trial i.e. Tubifex sp. (Ts), commercial pellet feed (Cf), snail meat (Sm) and mixed diet i.e. commercial feed and snail meat on alternative day (CfSm) were applied. The larvae were fed two times per day until reaching satiation level. The larvae fed with tubificid worms (Ts) and mixed diet (CfSm) showed significantly better results (P<0.05) in terms of length, percent weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR %) compared to other diets. Water quality parameters were monitored throughout the experimental periods and the parameters did not vary significantly (P>0.05) among the treatments. On the basis of larval development and survival rate, it could be suggested that the live tubificid worms (Ts) and mixed diet (CfSm) are suitable for Heteropneustes fossilis larvae.

Authors: Mendoza E. , Cano-Ott Daniel
Published: November 2023

The list of evaluated neutron data libraries in Geant4 format distributed by the IAEA nuclear data service has been updated with six new releases: JEFF-3.3, JEFF-3.2, ENDF/B-VIII.0, ENDF/B-VII.1, BROND-3.1 and JENDL-4.0u (version 2016/1/6). In this report we provide some information concerning the transformation of these six new releases from the ENDF-6 data format into the Geant4 format. In addition, we present a comparison between results obtained with Geant4 and MCNP6 when using these libraries.
Indagaciones sobre linajes y líneas de investigación en la botánica argentina.
Authors: López Méndez Alicia
Published: November 2023

En la botánica argentina se mantienen líneas y temas de investigación que pueden rastrearse en el tiempo como hilos conductores entre discípulos y tutores. Esta manera de heredar, consolidar y desarrollar las líneas y temas de investigación parecería ser independientes de las políticas públicas – explícitas e implícitas – adoptadas por las sucesivas gestiones de gobiernos nacionales. Las configuraciones que se observan en Instituto de Botánica Darwinion pueden dar cuenta del recorrido general de la disciplina, por lo que se usará como caso para desarrollar las hipótesis de trabajo.
Lo continuo y lo discreto
Authors: Argañaraz Juan
Published: November 2023

El presente trabajo expone y aborda el debate acerca de si el universo es continuo o discreto. Este problema está incluido de modo implícito en la filosofía crítica postkantiana desde el momento en que ella critica y rechaza los juicios sintéticos a priori de espacio y tiempo kantianos, sosteniendo en cambio que son aprendidos por la experiencia. Desde J. F. Herbart, Helmholtz, E. Mach hasta S. Freud, se comparten éste y otro conjunto de conjeturas y una agenda de problemáticas, pero no se explicita ni aborda en esa agenda común una consecuencia: sin juicios sintéticos a priori el universo sería un continuo cuya aparente discreción se constituye por la experiencia. Tratamos ese problema a partir del fenómeno clínico de la demenciación de los pacientes con esquizofrenias, analizando las consecuencias filosóficas que conlleva la conjetura de que esa demencia es psicógena, causada por la destrucción de las representaciones que sostienen la apariencia de un universo discreto.
Reseña: «Models and Theories» de Roman Frigg
Authors: Rojas Lizama David
Published: November 2023

Models and Theories (2022) representa la síntesis de dos décadas de investigación dedicada a la reflexión sobre la representación científica y el rol de los modelos en ciencias por parte de Roman Frigg. El filósofo de las ciencias suizo ha desempeñado un rol fundamental en la difusión de este programa de investigación desde la London School of Economics, realizando toda una serie de colaboraciones que nos permiten adentrarnos en los principales tópicos de esta disciplina. Precedido por un notable artículo publicado en The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Frigg & Nguyen, 2020b) y dos obras introductorias sobre la materia, ambas de reciente publicación (Frigg & Nguyen, 2020a, 2022), este nuevo libro es el proyecto más sistemático y ambicioso de reconstruir este debate.
Impacto de los niveles máximos de lactato en cirugía cardíaca
Authors: Calderón Jaime Christian , Erazo Vaca Gabriel
Published: November 2023

Los procesos patológicos subyacentes, el estrés de la cirugía y el uso de circulación extracorpórea pueden ser causa de hiperlactatemia, la cual puede originarse tanto por mecanismos hipóxicos como no hipóxicos. Objetivo: Determinar el impacto de los niveles máximos de lactato en pacientes que han sido sometidos a cirugía cardiaca en el Hospital Luis Vernaza.

Materiales y métodos: Este estudio se caracteriza por ser prospectivo, no experimental, analítico, longitudinal y correlacional. La muestra del estudio incluye a todos los pacientes mayores de 18 años que han sido sometidos a cirugía cardiaca en el periodo comprendido entre agosto del 2021 y octubre del 2022 en el Hospital Luis Vernaza. Los datos serán tabulados mediante la elaboración de una plantilla de Excel, y los resultados serán posteriormente analizados utilizando IBM SPSS Statistics versión 25.0.

Para evaluar la significancia de los resultados, se utilizará la prueba T de Student con un nivel de significancia establecido en p<0.05. En cuanto a las variables cualitativas, se realizará un análisis descriptivo de frecuencia y porcentaje, y su valor p se determinará mediante la prueba chi-cuadrado. Resultados: El 50% de los pacientes sometidos a cirugía cardiaca presentan hiperlactatemia, y está con- dición se encuentra asociada a mayores complicaciones intraoperatorias y postoperatorias inmediatas (p= 0.047).

Discusión: La hiperlactatemia posterior a una cirugía cardiaca está relacionada con un mayor índice de mortalidad, un aumento del tiempo de circulación extracorpórea y un incremento en la incidencia de complicaciones, entre las que se destacan sangrado, complicaciones neurológicas, y falla renal. Conclusiones: Es importante conocer la relación entre los niveles elevados de lactato intraoperatorio temprano después de una cirugía cardiaca y las complicaciones asociadas, con el propósito de establecer pautas que permitan anticipar posibles consecuencias adversas o reducir la tasa de mortalidad.
Serie histórica del Síndrome de Encefalopatía Posterior Reversible (PRES) en un hospital pediátrico de referencia nacional
Authors: Vélez Rosario , Benítez Andrea
Published: November 2023

El síndrome de encefalopatía posterior reversible (PRES) se considera una patología clínica-radiológica poco conocida. Se caracteriza por su presentación aguda o subaguda, de origen multifactorial. Entre sus manifestaciones clínicas predominan las neurológicas e hipertensión arterial. La resonancia magnética es el Gold estándar como método de diagnóstico en el que se puede observar afectación de la sustancia blanca, gris o ambas.

Metodología: Se efectuó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, transversal de 23 casos de PRES del Hospital Pediátrico Roberto Gilbert Elizalde de enero 2013 a diciembre del 2022. Se recabaron variables sociodemográficas, epide- miológicas, clínicas y bioquímicas. Resultados: Se identificaron 23 pacientes con diagnóstico de PRES de los que 21 pacientes cumplieron los criterios de

inclusión. El sexo femenino fue predominante con el 61.9 %, edad media de 9 a 17 años con el 66.8 %, las patologías asociadas fueron: lupus eritematoso, síndrome nefrótico, enfermedades hematológicas como leucemia mieloide y linfoblástica aguda con el 4.7 % respectivamente. Los fármacos relacionados fueron los inmunosupresores como levetircentam, prednisona, metilprednisolona, rituximab y tiroglobulina. En cuanto a los hallazgos de neuroimagen la lesión de sustancia blanca parieto-occipital fue la más frecuentemente descrita. Conclusión: La PRES se considera una entidad grave pero reversible con el adecuado abordaje y diagnóstico precoz por lo que el manejo precoz resulta fundamental para evitar daños irreversibles en el paciente pediátrico

Authors: Peñaloza Wedley , Manuel Reyes Reyes Cruz , Wong Evelin Núñez
Published: November 2023

Las presiones para sellar la vía aérea con un tubo endotraqueal no siempre se ajustan a las recomendaciones internacionales; la hiperinsu- flación es frecuente, provocando daño a la mucosa traqueal y consecuentemente síntomas en el postoperatorio. Objetivo: Determinar la correlación entre la presión aplicada en el manguito del tubo endotraqueal y los síntomas laringotraqueales en el postoperatorio inmediato en el Hospital Luis Vernaza durante enero a diciembre del 2022. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio longitudinal, en pacientes sometidos a un procedimiento quirúrgico bajo anestesia general. Se recopilaron variables clínicas y las presiones de insuflación. Los datos se analizaron con el programa estadístico SPSS ®, obteniendo reportes descriptivos e inferenciales. Un valor de p<0.05 se consideró estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 324 pacien- tes; la edad media fue 50.15 años (DE: ±17.12 años); el 15.1% tuvo presiones de manguito bajas; el 29.9% presiones normales y el 54.9% presiones altas. El 48.8% manifestó algún síntoma en el postoperatorio, principalmente tos (26.5%) y sensación de cuerpo extraño (16.0%). Los factores asociados fueron el sexo (OR: 1.70; IC 95%: 1.08-2.68); el método usado (OR: 2.77; IC 95%: 1.68 – 4.58); el número de tubo (OR: 0.06; IC 95%: 0.37 – 0.92); las presiones del manguito (OR: 5.88; IC 95%: 3.62-9.55) y el tiempo de intubación (OR: 4.11; IC 95%: 1.34-12-57). Conclusión: Las presiones del manguito del tubo endotraqueal y otros factores se correlacionan con la sintomatología en el postoperatorio.
Dødskultur og sorgkultur
Authors: Hviid Jacobsen Michael , Petersen Anders
Published: November 2023

Ifølge mange fremtrædende sociologer – herunder Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck, Zygmunt Bauman og Andreas Reckwitz blot for at nævne nogle få – lever vi i individualiseringens tidsalder. Det betyder, at det, der førhen var noget socialt og kollektivt, i stigende grad opfattes og opleves som noget individuelt. Dette gælder for stort set for alle forhold i livet. Det gælder imidlertid også for døden og sorgen.

Der er dog ingen tvivl om, at både død og sorg er kulturelle og kollektive fænomener, der formes af den historie, som knytter mennesker sammen i samfund og fællesskaber. Det er derfor, at det giver mening at tale om tilstedeværelsen af døds- og sorgkulturer, der forandrer sig over tid.

I dette kapitel vil vi kaste lys over død og sorg som kulturelle fænomener og gennem både teoretiske og empiriske nedslag demonstrere og illustrere, hvorledes død og sorg selv under påvirkninger fra individualiseringstendenser vedbliver med at være formet af og udtryk for kulturelle og kollektive forhold. Vi skal i den forbindelse bl.a. se på kulturbegrebet som et baggrundstæppe for at forstå menneskers forhold til død og sorg, og vi skal se nærmere på nogle overordnede historiske og kulturelle forandringer i døds- og sorgkultur, herunder tabuiseringen, privatiseringen og tilbagekomsten af døden over det seneste århundrede samt individualiseringen, professionaliseringen og stigmatiseringen af sorgen i samme periode. Formålet er således at vise, hvordan vores forhold til død og sorg hele tiden afspejler grundlæggende forandringer i den måde, som vi lever og forstår livet på.
Når kroppen har mistet
Authors: Ørnstrand Ane Petrea
Published: November 2023

Inden for de senere år har moderkroppen påkaldt sig en del opmærksomhed. Mange kvinder beskriver efterfødselskroppen som en midlertidig, fremmed og uønsket fysisk tilstand. Denne opfattelse afspejles populærkulturelt i diverse dameblade, bøger og produkter der forsøger at hjælpe de nybagte mødre med at få deres kroppe tilbage og slippe af med denne uønskede version. Idealet er, at blive en Yummy Mummy. 1

Men med et stadigt stigende fokus på den uperfekte krop i populærkulturen og i kunsten, er den “uskønne” efterfødselskrop kommet på den visuelle dagsorden og eksponeres nu mere end nogensinde før. På trods af eksponeringen, kan der spores en dualisme hos mødrene, der på den ene siden et ønsker “ikke at ligne en mor” og på den anden side har en stolthed forbundet med moderskabets manifestation i den krop der har bragt deres barn til verden.

Men hvad med de mødre, der ikke får deres børn med hjem? Hvor efterfødselskroppen ik- ke kun er et uskønt tegn på moderskabet, men også en fysisk markør på sorgen, og en konstant påmindelse om det usynlige moderskab? Artiklens formål er at italesætte efterfødsels- kroppens visuelle diskurs og i forlængelse af dette at pege på den sørgende moderkrop som en central, men tabubelagt og overset materia- litet. Artiklen vil først pege på den dualistiske kropsopfattelse der er på spil hos nybagte mødre og dernæst vise hvordan disse spændinger og det kropslige tabu forstærkes og kompliceres yderligere, når kroppen mister.

1 Et slangudtryk til at beskrive unge attraktive mødre. Udtrykket kom frem i slutningen af det 20. århundrede og blev ofte brugt til at beskrive berømte mødre som hurtigt fik deres præ-gravide kroppe tilbage efter de havde født.
