OBJECTIVE

Despite the growing literature on sport-related concussion (SRC) in high school and collegiate athletes, the understanding of how outcomes can vary in child athletes younger than 12 years of age remains limited. Therefore, the authors sought to compare injury characteristics and recovery in 8- to 12-year-old athletes with those of 13- to 17-year-old athletes following SRC.

METHODS

A single-institution retrospective cohort study was undertaken including 8- to 12-year-old and 13- to 17-year-old athletes seen at a regional SRC between November 2017 and January 2022. Demographic information, injury characteristics, Post-Concussion Symptom Scale (PCSS) scores, and recovery (i.e., return to learn [RTL], symptom resolution, and return to play [RTP]) were compared between 8- to 12-year-old and 13- to 17-year-old athletes using the Mann-Whitney U-test and chi-square test.

RESULTS

A total of 147 athletes (8- to 12-year-old athletes: n = 49; 13- to 17-year-old athletes: n = 98) were included. The mean ages for the younger and older groups were 10.9 ± 0.9 and 15.7 ± 1.3 years, respectively. Athletes aged 8–12 years and 13–17 years had similar median times to initial healthcare presentation (1 vs 2 days, p = 0.37). Athletes aged 8–12 years were more likely to present to the emergency department (ED) (44.9% vs 25.5%, p = 0.02) and receive head imaging (36.7% vs 19.4%, p = 0.02). Initial PCSS scores were similar between the groups (21.5 vs 22.0, p = 0.99). Athletes aged 8–12 years took longer to RTL (median 6.0 [IQR 4.0–13.0] days vs median 4.0 [IQR 2.0–8.0] days, p = 0.04). However, time to symptom resolution (median 16.0 [IQR 7.0–42.0] days vs median 13.5 [IQR 6.3–22.5] days, p = 0.34) and RTP (median 22.5 [IQR 10.0–54.8] days vs median 15.0 [IQR 10.0–24.0] days, p = 0.17) were not significantly different.

CONCLUSIONS

Comparing 8- to 12-year-old with 13- to 17-year-old concussed athletes, the authors found that the initial PCSS score did not differ, although the younger group was more likely to present to the ED and receive head imaging. The 8- to 12-year-old athletes took more time to RTL, although no differences were found in time to symptom resolution or RTP.

Authors: Sushchenko R. Z. , Bagmet V. B.
Published: September 2024

Twenty-four species of diatoms belonging to 14 genera, 12 families and 5 orders were identified from soils and pyroclastic deposits of the Gorely, Mutnovsky, Avachinsky, Koryaksky and Vilyuchinsky volcanoes (Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia). Two species of these (Nupela tenuicephala, Pinnularia bullacostae) are new to the flora of the Kamchatka Peninsula, three ones (Eunotia palatina, Neidium bergii, Stauroneis borrichii) to the Russian Far East, and another three (Psammothidium lacustre, Humidophila sceppacuerciae, Gomphonema reichardtii) to the flora of Russia. Three revealed taxa (Navicula sp., Chamaepinnularia sp., and Pinnularia sp.) are probably new to science, as their morphological and morphometric characteristics differ from those of previously described species.

Published: September 2024

The local flora of vascular plants of Mayorsky Mountain Massif of Susunay Ridge in the southern part of Sakhalin Island contains 230 species from 171 genera and 71 families. For the first time, 50 species are listed for the massif. The flora of serpentinite outcrops is especially specific. Plant communities on the serpentinites are dominated by species with wide geographical areas (circumpolar, Eurasian, Asian and East Asian), whose share is more than 70% of the total local flora, which is a reflection of the geological past in the process of the alpine flora formation on Sakhalin Island. There are 64 species concentrated on an area of about 0.4 ha (Bistorta pacifica, Leontopodium discolor, Malaxis monophyllos, Rubus pedatus, Thesium refractum, Tofieldia coccinea and others), of which three species (Carex capillaris, Cerastium sugawarae and Pedicularis chamissonis) are found nowhere else on Sakhalin. The nearest localities of isolated populations of subalpine and alpine species on serpentinite outcrops (Carex melanocarpa, Loiseleuria procumbens, Rhododendron parvifolium, Scirpus maximowiczii) are in the northern part of Sakhalin or in the Northern Japan. Mayorskaya Mt. is the locus classicus of Poa sugawarae and Cerastium sugawarae. An annotated checklist of vascular plants is given. The modern flora of Mayorsky Massif is a reflection of paleogeographical history and climate fluctuations.

The results of studies of two new genetic types of diamonds discovered in Kamchatka and formed in extra-mantle conditions are presented, as evidenced by the absence of signs of post-crystallization annealing with the formation of aggregated nitrogen defects in them. The first of these types is defined by us as volcanic-atmoelectrogenic, formed directly in a volcanic ash-gas cloud due to deep-seated methane due to atmospheric electrical discharges. The second genetic type of diamonds, formed at a depth in the medium of a magmatic-pneumatolithic-hydrothermal ore deposit, can be defined as explosive-tuffizite. The industrial prospects of manifestations of these types give grounds to state the discovery in Russia of a new diamond-bearing province – Kamchatka.

Sublimates tested in 2013–2020 were studied. in the near-crater zone and on the slopes of the Alaid volcano, located in the Kuril Island arc. It has been established that in the near-crater zone there are native metals confined to zones of acid leaching, within which the original lavas and tuffs have been transformed into opal-like formations or rocks sharply enriched in ferric hydroxides. In these zones, the presence of native gold, palladium, silver, chromium, copper, zinc and alloys of gold and palladium, copper and zinc, copper and tungsten has been established. On the slopes of the Alaid volcano, the range of minerals in sublimates is wider, while the temperature of their formation is lower. Of the ore minerals, copper-containing ones predominate, and sublimates with vanadium-containing minerals belonging to hydrous oxides and vanadate-silicates are established. Two genetic types of slope sublimates have been identified: 1) minerals crystallizing from hydrothermal or steam-hydrothermal solutions near the outcrops of near-surface fumaroles and 2) copper and ferruginous colomorphic formations formed as a result of sedimentation from colloidal solutions in the shallow waters of drying up reservoirs, including small and large puddles.

The structural organization of HIV-1 integrase is based on a tetramer formed by two protein dimers. Within this tetramer, the catalytic domain of one subunit of the first dimer interacts with the N-terminal domain of a subunit of the second dimer. It is the tetrameric structure that allows both ends of viral DNA to be correctly positioned relative to cellular DNA and to implement the catalytic functions of integrase, namely 3′-processing and strand transfer. However, during the HIV-1 replicative cycle, integrase is responsible not only for the integration stage, it is also involved in reverse transcription and is necessary at the stage of capsid formation of newly formed virions. HIV-1 integrase is proposed to be a structurally dynamic protein and its biological functions depend on its structure. Accordingly, studying the interactions between the domains of integrase that provide its tetrameric structure is important for understanding its multiple functions. In this work, we investigated the role of three amino acids of the catalytic domain I182, R187 and K188, located in the contact region of two integrase dimers in the tetramer structure, in reverse transcription and integration. It has been shown that the R187 residue is extremely important for the formation of the correct integrase structure, which is necessary at all stages of its functional activity. The I182 residue is necessary for successful integration and is not important for reverse transcription, while the K188 residue, on the contrary, is involved in the formation of the integrase structure, which is important for effective reverse transcription.
Structure- and Cation-Dependent Mechanism of the Interaction of Tricyclic Antidepressants with NMDA Receptor According to Molecular Modeling Data
Authors: Belinskaya D. A. , Shestakova N. N.
Published: September 2024

Some tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), including amitriptyline (ATL), clomipramine (CLO), and desipramine (DES), are known to be effective for the management of neuropathic pain. It was previously determined that ATL, CLO and DES are capable of voltage-dependent blocking of NMDA receptors of glutamate (NMDAR), which play a key role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain. Despite the similar structure of ATL, CLO and DES, efficacy of their interaction with NMDAR varies significantly. In the study presented here, we applied the molecular modeling methods to investigate the mechanism of binding of ATL, CLO and DES to NMDAR and to identify the structural features of the drugs that determine their inhibitory activity against NMDAR. Molecular docking of the studied TCA into the NMDAR channel was performed. The conformational behavior of the obtained complexes in lipid bilayer was simulated by the method of molecular dynamics (MD). A single binding site (upper) for the tertiary amines ATL and CLO and two binding sites (upper and lower) for the secondary amine DES were identified inside the NMDAR channel. The upper and lower binding sites are located along the channel axis at different distances from the extracellular side of the plasmatic membrane (PM). MD simulation revealed that the position of DES in the lower site is stabilized only in the presence of sodium cation inside the NMDAR channel. DES binds more strongly to NMDAR compared to ATL and CLO due to the simultaneous interaction of two hydrogen atoms of its cationic group with the asparagine residues of the ion pore of the receptor. This feature may be responsible for stronger side effects of DES. It has been hypothesized that ATL binds to NMDAR less efficiently compared to DES and CLO due to its lower conformational mobility. The identified features of the structure- and cation-dependent mechanism of interaction between TCA and NMDAR will help in the further development of effective and safe analgesic therapy.

Less than ten years ago, evidence began to accumulate about the association between changes in the composition of the gut microbiota and the development of human synucleinopathies, in particular the sporadic form of Parkinson’s disease. We collected data from more than one hundred and thirty experimental studies that reported similar results and summarized the frequencies of detection of different groups of bacteria in these studies. It is important to note that it is extremely rare that a unidirectional change in the abundance of one or another group of microorganisms (only an increase or only a decrease) was detected in patients with Parkinson’s disease. However, we were able to identify several groups of bacteria that were overrepresented in patients with Parkinson’s disease in the studies analyzed. There are various hypotheses about the molecular mechanisms that explain such relationships. Usually, α-synuclein aggregation is associated with the development of inflammatory processes that occur in response to changes in the microbiome. However, experimental evidence is accumulating on the influence of bacterial proteins, including amyloids (curli), as well as various metabolites on aSyn aggregation. In the review, we provided up-to-date information about such examples.

Published: September 2024

The article examines the history and practices of establishing monuments to participants of the Second World War (Great Patriotic War) that appeared in Kazakhstan after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Monuments are considered as a certain epistemological source for studying the various trends of the time, as evidence of public discourses popular during the period from the early 1990s to the present. Phenomenological and existential approaches are used in interpreting the question of how to understand heroism, what it means to be a hero, and how this phenomenon is correlated with ideas of heroism in Kazakh culture. The article is based on the analysis of cases related to the personalities of Bauyrzhan Momishuly, Rakhymzhan Qoshqarbaev, Aliya Moldagulova and Manshuk Mametova. The analysis includes: determining the location of the monuments; visual documentation and initial description. Content analysis of media materials and specialized literature on genealogy (shezhire), interviews with actors and experts, collecting oral histories, and analyzing documents accompanying the appearance of monuments.

The theme of identity has been the most popular and relevant in socio-humanitarian knowledge for a century. Philosophical and anthropological, social, cultural studies of identity in the works of E. Erikson, M. Buber, K. Jaspers, Z. Freud, V. Frankl, F. Fukuyama, J. Ward, N. Taleb, T. Asad and others show that identity is an unfinished project and an unfinished process for each individual. The identity crisis in foreign discourse, which is presented in many ways, is associated with personal and social problems, in which depersonalization and alienation from self-identification are seen. The search for identity in religious awareness and identification in such conditions is clearly expressed. Religious identity becomes the most stable in the project of different identities, in the conditions of the «loss» of strict ideological imperatives. The main factor that explains the stability of the Islamic tradition and the preservation of traditional Islamic identity in the multicultural and multi-confessional landscape of Kazakhstan is its dialogic component. This article examines the dialogic potential of Islamic identity in Kazakhstan. In light of modern events such as globalization and migration processes, the issue of Islamic identity is becoming increasingly relevant. The authors conclude that Islamic identity interacts with other types of identity in the multicultural environment of Kazakhstan. The article also discusses the historical contribution of domestic cultural figures who contributed to the formation of the dialogic identity of Kazakhstani society.
Social and religious dimensions of anxious consumption
Authors:   Inonu University, Karaduman Huri Melek
Published: September 2024

Individuals exposed to a growing number of visual, auditory, and subliminal messages daily are increasingly susceptible to adopting various behaviors, either voluntarily or unintentionally. Much of this behavior manifests in everyday life, often unconsciously or as a direct outcome of deliberate actions. Across daily life, people demonstrate diverse consumer behaviors driven by a range of both intrinsic needs and externally constructed demands—ranging from food and clothing to technology, addictive substances, cosmetics, and even self-consumption. These complex and multidimensional states of consumption can be better understood and explained by examining the underlying factors that compel individuals to consume. This study employs resource analysis methods to investigate the interplay between anxiety and consumption behavior, focusing on how perceptions of imminent danger and threat contribute to a cycle of consumption driven by worry and anxiety. Additionally, this article explores the religious dimensions of unsettling consumption practices, offering a nuanced perspective on the psychological and cultural influences that shape contemporary consumer behavior

Published: September 2024

The article examines the role of religious expertise in the regulation of state-confessional relations in the CIS countries with a focus on the experience of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Russia and Belarus. The analysis of legislation regulating religious activity and expert interviews allow us to identify both common features and peculiarities of approaches to religious expertise in each of these states. The main focus is on assessing the effectiveness of expertise in the context of combating extremism and radicalisation, as well as its impact on maintaining stability and public order. Key challenges faced by CIS countries in conducting religious expertise are identified, including the need to strike a balance between state control and religious freedom. The article also discusses criticisms of the expertise, including its politicisation and possible infringement of the rights of religious associations. The article concludes with a discussion of the prospects for improving religious expertise, including increased coordination between state bodies and more active participation of independent experts, which could contribute to the strengthening of inter-confessional peace in the region.
Islamic psychology: conceptual foundations and problems of methodology
Authors:   Bashkortostan Representative Office of the Association of Psychological Assistance to Muslims, Filius Iakhin
Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the conceptual foundations and problems of the methodology of modern Islamic Psychology, which, on the one hand, is a fairly new phenomenon in Islamic thought and world psychology, and on the other hand, historically has its roots in the works of medieval Muslim scholars, and then - in the primary sources of Islam – the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The author undertakes a brief overview of the historical path of development and the current state of Muslim psychological thought, and also analyses approaches to the definition and subject of Islamic Psychology. It has been revealed that the common matter in the considered definitions is a reference to the religious nature of Islamic Psychology and the subject of research - the soul and other components of the inner world of man and the mental processes and behaviour determined by them. The author underlines the controversial nature of the Islamic Psychology methodology issues, which is typical for Islamic epistemology problematics in general. The article raises main methodological issues of Islamic Psychology and paves the ways to solve them, particularly through the implementation of the Integration of Knowledge approach and Maqasid methodology. It is substantiated that true integration in understanding the inner world of man and his behaviour is possible provided that the efforts of Islamic psychologists and Islamic theologians combine on the basis of affined religious beliefs and similar interpretations of Islamic provisions, and consideration of psychology and its individual topics through the prism of religious (Islamic) knowledge, and understanding of Quranic verses and hadiths containing “psychological” provisions through the prism of scientific, evidence-based psychology.

Published: September 2024

This article aims at offering a glimpse into the emotions of the prisoners in the camp ALZHIR (Akmolinskiy lager' zhen izmennikov Rodiny, Akmolinsk Camp of Wives of Traitors to the Motherland), Kazakhstan in Soviet times. Alzhir was a female forced labour camp in the time of the Soviet Union, a Gulag that darkened the history of the Soviet Union. This investigation will take place through a collection of letters, both from prisoners and their children, translated in English for the first time. Letters represent the only tool through which prisoners were able to communication with their families, and through which they were able to keep their maternal sense from which they had been violently deprived. The letters reflect the moods, needs, worries and the hopes of both the prisoners and the children left behind. The discussion concerning the letters reveals that the communication with the world outside of the camps (allowed only from 1940) was not enough to give back the sense of normality that the women yearned for whilst imprisoned.

Қазіргі қазақ тілінде қазақ тілінің грамматикалық нормаларына тән емес, бірақ көне түркі тіліне және қазіргі кейбір түркі тілдеріне тән морфологиялық формалар кездеседі, олардың қатарына -асы, -аған, -ажақ, -арман есімшелік тұлғалар кіреді. Мақалада осы форма түзуші аффикстердің қолданыс тарихы және кейбір жағдайларда олардың түркі тілдерінде лексикалануы ескеріле отырып, «-мыш» аффиксінің фонетикалық тұлғалары мен семантикасының даму тарихына назар аударылады. -Мыш тұлғасы -bïs (-быс), -bït (-быт) деген ежелгі праформадан бастау алады, соңғысы якут тілінде сақталған. Көне түркі тілінде -мыш жұрнағы белгісіздікті білдіретін бұрынғы өткен шақ мағынасын үстеп, руникалық ескерткіштер мен ерте орта ғасырлардағы түркі жазба мұраларында белсенді қолданылған. Тарихи даму процесінде -mïš аффиксі кейінгі орта ғасырлар мен қазіргі түркі тілдерінде есімше немесе етістіктен есімдену процесіне өтіп, субстантивтенеді. Бұл процесс қыпшақ тілдер тобында, әсіресе қазақ тілінде көрініс тапты. Ал оғыз тілдерінде «-мыш»-тың грамматикалық мағынасы сақталып, аффикс өткен шақ және есімше қызметінде өнімді морфологиялық форма болып жұмсалуда. Қазақ тілінде аффикс өнімсіз жұрнақтар қатарына кіреді, дегенмен ол жазмыш, аталмыш, озмыш секілді түбірі бөлек ажыратыла бермейтін, бұрыннан қалыптасқан сөздердің құрамында кездеседі. Сонымен қатар, қазақ тілінде заттанып, есім тудырушы сөзжасамдық аффиксіне айналды: тұрмыс, болмыс, қылмыс, оқымысты. Мұнымен бірге белгісіздікті білдіретін өткен шақ қызметінде aйтыпты-мыс, бaрыпты-мыс; көріпті-мiс мысалдарындағы -мыс тұлғасын көне түркі тілінің қазақ тіліндегі элементі деп қарастыруға болады.
Some aspects of the social structure and authority of the Ancient Turks in written sources of the 8th-11th centuries
Authors: Boroffka Nicolaus , Sultanova Ayagoz
Published: September 2024

The ancient Turkic script, which became the foundation for the writing systems of the Turkic-speaking peoples of the Eurasian steppes and Transcaucasia, was developed in the 6th-7th centuries. Written documents from the ancient Turks have been preserved in the form of stone stelae, brief inscriptions, and personal notification. The analysis of these texts provides insights into the political, economic, and social history of the ancient Turkic era. This article examines aspects of the state structure of the Turkic peoples from the 6th to the 15th centuries as indicated by written monuments displayed at the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The sources for this article include copies of the stelae of Kul Tigin, Tonyukuk, El Etmish Bilge Khagan, as well as monuments from the ancient Uighur period, specifically the Doloodoyn monuments. Additionally, translations of Mahmud alKashgari’s “Diwan-i Lughat al-turk” and Yusuf Balasaguni’s “Kutadgu Bilig” are considered to discuss the political structure of the Turkic states. These sources are available in the Ancient Turkic Civilization exhibition halls and the Hall of the History of Kazakhstan from the 13th to the 20th centuries at the National Museum of Kazakhstan.

Published: September 2024

Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, die Anwendungspraxis von Aufenthaltsverhaltsverboten nach § 29 Abs. 2 ASOG Bln im Görlitzer Park/Wrangelkiez in Berlin mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse basierend auf qualitativen Interviews und Dokumenten zu erforschen. Dabei werden Ansätze aus der kritischen Polizeiforschung sowie rassismuskritische und intersektionale Perspektiven verwendet, um die Konstruktions- und Ordnungsmuster der polizeilichen Verdrängungspraktiken und Raumproduktionen zu untersuchen. Die zentralen Ergebnisse der Forschung sind: 1) Die zunehmende Erteilung von Aufenthaltsverboten ist eingebettet in Verräumlichungsprozesse, die der ‚Kriminalität‘ und ‚Gefahr‘ einen spezifischen Raum zuschreiben. Raumbezogen Präventivmaßnahmen werden zum polizeilichen Modus Operandi. 2) Die polizeilichen Ausschlüsse durch Aufenthaltsverbote werden beeinflusst durch (kolonial-)rassistische und klassenspezifische Muster, die in der Folge einen Raum europäischen, bürgerlichen Weißseins herzustellen versuchen. 3) Über die Versicherheitlichung von gesellschaftlichen Marginalisierungsprozessen wird die Bekämpfung von ‚Drogenkriminalität‘ zu einem Vehikel örtlicher Gentrifizieungsprozesse.

Published: September 2024

In diesem Beitrag werden zunächst Grundzüge einer Beschreibung von Erziehung als Ermöglichung von Bildung entwickelt. Es wird argumentiert, dass eine pädagogische Adressierung darin besteht, Heranwachsende als bildsame Subjekte anzusprechen. Danach werden Einwände rekonstruiert, die aus subjektivationstheoretischer Warte gegenüber einer entsprechenden Beschreibung von Erziehung vorgebracht werden. Anschließend wird der entwickelte Begriff einer pädagogischen Adressierung gegen diese Einwände verteidigt. Die Verteidigung mündet schließlich in die Problematisierung einer subjektivationstheoretischen Rahmung der Erforschung von Adressierungs- und Re-Adressierungspraktiken in der Erziehungswissenschaft, deren Grenzen insbesondere dann sichtbar werden, wenn man die Frage nach Differenzen hinsichtlich der normativen Qualität von verschiedenen Formen der Adressierung stellt.
„Die Kunst, Unterschiede zu machen“
Authors: Lütke-Harmann Martina
Published: September 2024

Die Zeit, in der die ästhetische Bildung eine zentrale Rolle im Diskurs der Erziehungswissenschaft gespielt hat, scheint vorbei zu sein. Heute ist sie entweder in ein weites Konzept kultureller Bildung integriert oder führt eine Randexistenz in der pädagogischen Anthropologie. Im Text wird argumentiert, dass die Marginalisierung der ästhetischen Bildung Resultat einer mangelnden Auseinandersetzung mit dem Formwandel ästhetischer Darstellungen ist. Anhand der theoretischen und poetischen Arbeiten Alexander Kluges wird exemplarisch gezeigt, welche Konsequenzen dieser Wandel für die Herausbildung von Wahrnehmungs- und Kritikfähigkeit hat und welcher Begriff ästhetischer Bildung dabei ins Spiel gebracht wird. Dies ernst zu nehmen, könnte zu einer Wiederbelebung der Debatte um die ästhetische Bildung führen.

Vor dem Hintergrund konzeptioneller Überlegungen und empirischer Befunde zur Genese von Lehrkräftehabitus untersucht der Beitrag am Beispiel von Fachkonferenzarbeit, inwiefern habituelle Wissensbestände von Lehrkräften fachspezifisch geprägt sind. Anhand von zehn Gruppendiskussionen mit Deutsch-, Mathematik-, SoWi/Politik- und Sportlehrkräften konnten mittels Dokumentarischer Methode bezüglich der Fachkonferenzpraxis drei Typen habitueller Orientierungen rekonstruiert werden. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Frage nach fachspezifischen Prägungen habitueller Wissensbestände für die einbezogenen Fächer in unterschiedlicher Weise beantwortet werden muss und das Fach nicht unbedingt einen konjunktiven Erfahrungsraum darstellt.
Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf Vergessen – Impulse für eine erziehungswissenschaftliche Biografieforschung?
Authors: Epp André , Hinrichsen Merle
Published: September 2024

Ausgehend von der These, dass sich Biografien in der Dialektik von Erinnern und Vergessen konstituieren, in der Biografieforschung bisher jedoch eine theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Erinnern dominiert, widmet sich der Beitrag einer stärkeren Konturierung des Vergessens und seiner theoretischen Implikationen. Dabei wird ebenso an sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven angeschlossen, welche sich bereits seit Jahrzehnten mit Vergessen auseinandersetzen, wie Rekurs auf erzähl- und biografietheoretische Perspektiven genommen. Die Relevanz und das Potenzial einer stärkeren Aufmerksamkeit für Vergessen wird exemplarisch mit Blick auf Biografizität und biografische Lern- und Bildungsprozesse aufgezeigt. Abschließend werden die Stärken wie auch die Begrenzungen einer vergessenssensiblen Biografieforschung diskutiert.
Die datafizierte Schule
Authors: Hofhues Sandra , Altenrath Maike , Weinrebe Paul
Published: September 2024

Wie sich Digitalisierungsprozesse in der Organisation Schule institutionalisieren und wie sich Schule als Organisation selbst (wieder) herstellt, rückt in den Fokus des vorliegenden Beitrags. So kann unter Einbezug exemplarischer Ergebnisse zur organisationalen Wirklichkeit der datafizierten Schule gezeigt werden, dass sich Vorstellungen der Berechenbarkeit von Lernen und Bildung in einer von Digitalisierung geprägten schulischen Gegenwart als Datafizierung noch potenzieren. Zu den Desideraten gehört daher, dass Prozesse der Datafizierung letztlich zum Kristallisationspunkt von Betrachtungen werden, wie die Organisation von Schule sozial hervorgebracht und damit bestimmt und legitimiert wird. Demgemäß erfordert die datafizierte Schule genaue und diverse Blicke auf ihre sozio-technischen Ausdrucksformen, was abschließend auch als Forschungsprogramm zu lesen ist.

Historical Analysis of Criminalizing Homosexual Relationships in Nigeria: A Historical Approach
Authors: Mamudu Ganni Kashetu
Published: September 2024

This paper aims basically at examining the menace and the criminalization of homo-sexual relationships in Nigerian society. Gay and lesbian couples are categorized as same-sex relationships. Though they are not easy to identify, they possess peculiar traits which set them apart from ordinary persons.  Their activities are generally condemned by most countries on religious and moral grounds.  This work has succinctly examined the various causes of homosexuality and its effects on our society.  The study adopted a multi-disciplinary approach in its analysis.  It employs a historical, expository, interpretative, and analytical method.  A secondary source was extensively used in the course of this study. It also evaluates the role or views of different sections in society as regards the activities of homosexuality in our society.  Besides, the concepts and analytical tools of economists, sociologists, and theologists were employed throughout the analysis. This ensured that the paradigmatic tool that was used melded perfectly into the overall body of the paper.  This was adopted because of the historical nature of the study.  It was discovered that homosexuality is largely due to the environment in which one is raised.  In other words, homosexuality is induced by a disordered environment.  People equally engaged in homosexuality as a result of freedom of association.  They feel it is one of their fundamental human rights. To some of the practitioners, it is more economical. There is no fear of pregnancy and some other related expenses involved in a normal relationship.

California's housing and real estate market is one of the most valuable markets in the USA. Many shareholders such as individual homebuyers, home sellers, real estate agents, lenders, and policymakers depend on high-volume information regarding the dynamics at work and their correct estimation. The research project aimed at developing an Explainable AI machine-learning model for California house price predictions. Data on house prices were collected from reliable sources such as California home estate websites, land sites, and public datasets. Features of the data included location, size, number of rooms, area type, availability, sale prices, and oceanic proximity. In this research project, credible, proven, and renowned machine learning algorithms were used most notably, Linear Regression analysis, XG-Boost, and Random Forest. The Random Forest came up quite impressively with a superior accuracy score and low MAE and MSE; thus, it was good for learning the underlying best patterns and relationships that may exist within the data for house price predictions. XG-Boost also did relatively well, showcasing moderately high accuracy and relatively low MSE and MAE, compared to the Linear Regression.

Authors: Li Ruofei
Published: September 2024

With the development of the social economy and the arrival of the aging era, the issue of elderly care has increasingly gained social attention. This matter not only concerns the personal interests of individuals but also represents a significant focal point in the construction of social welfare systems, influencing the development direction of multiple industries. As the elderly population continues to grow, there is a pressing need for innovative and sustainable care solutions. Among the diverse elderly care models, the forest therapy industry emerges as a new direction, providing seniors with a comfortable natural environment that promotes physical and mental health. This approach not only enhances the well-being of older adults but also serves as an important avenue for rational and sustainable development through the utilization of forest ecological products. This paper explores the connection between elderly care models and the forest therapy industry, offering insights into the current state and future development of the Chinese elderly care sector. By examining the benefits of integrating forest therapy into existing care frameworks, this study aims to provide practical recommendations. It is hoped that these insights will serve as a reference for stakeholders in the Chinese elderly care industry, promoting the positive role of forest therapy in optimizing and enhancing elderly care models for a healthier, happier aging population.

Through literature review and empirical research, we found a moderate positive correlation, primarily due to communication barriers and excessive device use. To address these issues, the paper proposes key strategies: fostering open family communication, setting reasonable device-use regulations, encouraging diverse interests, and providing digital literacy education. These approaches are essential for enhancing family education and promoting the healthy growth of adolescents. By offering a concise understanding of this relationship, the research provides practical guidance to families, schools, and society, facilitating harmonious family development.
Broken and Disorienting: An Exploration of Religious Views under Toynbee's Concept of Civilization
Authors: Wang Jianhuan
Published: September 2024

Toynbee, a famous British historical philosopher, emphasized the importance of the religious view in historical development in A Study of History and attempted to solve the contradictions facing the development of modern Western society through the concept of religious redemption. However, Toynbee's concept of religious redemption is not a perfect solution. The concept of religious redemption is the ideological product of modern Western society in the process of industrialization and modernization. Its religious background is closely related to Western history, aiming to free human beings from the shackles of egocentrism and cultivate universal love so as to enter the world of great harmony. Toynbee's idealized pursuit of the spiritual level also made him ignore the diversity of “love” generated by different freedom ideals, and he was caught in a dilemma of advancing human civilization towards self-determination through universal love. Human beings must achieve the realm of fraternity by promoting the comprehensive development of individuals and then uniting all mankind. Through an in-depth analysis of Toynbee's religious concept, this paper reveals the significance and limitations of the concept of religious redemption in the development of human civilization and discusses its enlightenment to the development of modern social civilization.
Efectos de la actitud prosocial y autoeficacia percibida en el compromiso académico virtual en pandemia
Authors: Rangel-Lyne Lucirene , Ochoa Hernández Magda Lizet , Azuela Flores José Ignacio
Published: September 2024

La actitud prosocial y la autoeficacia percibida se han estudiado desde distintas perspectivas, pero su análisis cobra importancia en segmentos vulnerables bajo contextos disruptivos. La pandemia de COVID-19 expuso esta vulnerabilidad de una manera exponencial. Uno de los segmentos que sufrió los cambios más drásticos corresponde a la población estudiantil, pues se vieron forzados a cambiar las clases presenciales por aulas virtuales, lo que puso en evidencia las brechas socioeconómicas y tecnológicas de esta población. Así pues, la continuidad académica confirió una responsabilidad esencial a factores actitudinales y comportamentales por parte del alumnado, por lo que la actitud prosocial y la autoeficacia percibida en conjunto se sugieren como antecedentes del compromiso académico. Los objetivos fueron explorar los niveles de actitud prosocial y autoeficacia percibida, así como analizar el efecto que tienen tales variables en el compromiso académico. Se encuestó a 613 estudiantes en modalidad virtual. Los niveles promedio de la actitud prosocial y la autoeficacia percibida fueron moderados, mientras que el compromiso académico demostró puntajes neutrales y bajos. Así, el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales basado en covarianzas confirmó una relación positiva y significativa que explicó al compromiso académico con un efecto pequeño. Se discuten implicaciones y tareas para la agenda.

Published: September 2024

El presente artículo aborda el estudio de las representaciones sociales de universidades entre estudiantes del último semestre de la Licenciatura en Administración de cuatro instituciones de educación superior en Chihuahua, México, con el fin de comprender cómo estas representaciones afectan la identidad institucional y la percepción del éxito académico y profesional. Se trata de un estudio con enfoque cualitativo descriptivo, basado en la fenomenología y hermenéutica; se recolectaron datos a través de dibujos realizados por los estudiantes y de la filosofía institucional de las instituciones de educación superior (IES) estudiadas, analizada por medio de nubes de palabras. Se encontró que elementos como las instalaciones, el logotipo y la percepción del éxito son comunes en las representaciones sociales, mostrando una conexión con la filosofía institucional de cada universidad. Se destaca que las representaciones sociales pueden ser utilizadas para promover valores institucionales y mejorar la toma de decisiones en la educación superior. A pesar de algunas limitaciones en el tamaño de la muestra y la especificidad de la carrera estudiada, el uso de dibujos y nubes de palabras como técnicas de recolección de datos permitió reflexionar sobre las percepciones de los estudiantes, lo que puede conducir a estrategias de mejora institucional.
