ʻABD AL-QĀDIR AL-ǦAZĀ’IRĪ: EL RESTABLECIMIENTO DE LAS ENSEÑANZAS AKBARÍES EN LA MODERNIDAD ISLÁMICA Y SU INFLUJO EN LA CULTURA EUROPEA CONTEMPORÁNEA
Authors: Montoya Jordán Armando
Published: December 2023

Resumen: La vida y obra del Emir ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Ǧazā’irī están profundamente ligadas a lo que podríamos denominar el «restablecimiento» del legado de Muḥyiddīn Ibn ‘Arabī, en tierras árabes bajo dominio otomano en los albores de la modernidad islámica. Dicho proceso restaurativo se habría iniciado dos siglos antes (siglos XVII), merced a las enseñanzas transmitidas por eminentes maestros como Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī y ʻAbd al-Ganī al-Nābulusī, figuras axiales del sufismo de la época en mención, cuyo magisterio habría sido difundido por una cadena ininterrumpida de discípulos hasta los inicios de la modernidad.Aquella rica tradición habría llegado a su culmen expresivo con el magnum opus de ʻAbd al- Qādir, el Kitāb al-Mawāqif, obra fundamental del sufismo decimonónico y fuente viva de las ciencias akbaríes cuya divulgación fue transmitida por discípulos del ilustre šayḫ argelino a una nueva generación de trasmisores, entre los que encontramos al pintor y visionario sueco Ivan Aguéli (Abd al-Hadi Aqili). En 1910, Aguéli inició a René Guénon en el sufismo, inaugurando así un nuevo ciclo en la historia de la transmisión de las doctrinas akbaríes.
Abstract: “ ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Ǧazā’irī: Re-establishment of the Akbarian Legacy at the Dawn of the Islamic Modern Era and his Influence in Contemporary European Culture”. The life and work of Emir ʻAbd al-Qādir al-Ǧazā’irī are deeply bonded to what way be called the ‘reestablishment’ of Muḥyiddīn Ibn ‘Arabī’s legacy in the Arab lands under Ottoman rule at the dawn of the Islamic modern era. Significantly, such a process had begun two centuries earlier through the teachings of eminent shaykhs such as Ibrāhīm al-Kūrānī and ʻAbd al-Ganī al-Nābulusī, dominant figures of tasawwuf during the period in question, and whose teachings had been disseminated by an uninterrupted chain of disciples up to modern era.Such a rich tradition may have reached its peak with ʻAbd al-Qādir’s magnum opus, the Kitāb al-Mawāqif, a fundamental oeuvre of 19th century Sufism and a living source of Akbarian sciences whose dissemination was transmitted by disciples of the illustrious Algerian shaykh to a new generation of sālikūn, among those, Swedish artist and visionary Ivan Aguéli (Abd al-Hadi Aqili). In 1910 Aguéli initiated René Guénon into the path of Sufism, thus inaugurating a new phase in the history of the transmission of the Akbarian teachings.
LOS ÚLTIMOS GRADOS DEL ESCOCISMO Y LA REALIZACIÓN DESCENDENTE. Reflexiones sobre el capítulo 45 de al-Futūḥāt almakkiyya y la masonería Escocista
Authors: De Diego González Antonio
Published: December 2023

Resumen: Edición y traducción anotada de Los últimos grados del Escocismo y la realización descendente de Michel Vâlsan, influyente figura en los estudios sobre Ibn 'Arabī en el siglo XX y vinculado a René Guénon, un destacado filósofo y representante de la escuela perennialista. Este texto, publicado en respuesta a Jean Reyor en 1953 en la revista Études Traditionnelles después de la muerte de Guénon, es interesante por dos razones. En primer lugar, continúa el debate sobre la "realización descendente" propuesto por Guénon y ofrece una traducción del capítulo 45 de al-Futūḥāt al-makkiyya de Ibn 'Arabī. En segundo lugar, el texto aborda el tema de la masonería y su relación con la organización iniciática occidental por excelencia.
Abstract: Edition and annotated translation of The Last Degrees of [masonic] Scottism and the Descending Realisation by Michel Vâlsan, an influential figure in Ibn 'Arabī studies in the 20th century and linked to René Guénon, a leading philosopher and representative of the Perennialist school. This text, published in response to Jean Reyor in 1953 in the journal Études Traditionnelles after Guénon's death, is interesting for two reasons. First, it continues the discussion of "descending realization" proposed by Guénon and offers a translation of chapter 45 of Ibn 'Arabī's al-Futūḥāt al-makkiyya. Secondly, the text deals with the subject of Freemasonry and its relation to the quintessential Western initiatory organisation.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has meant for teachers the introduction of new protocols forcing them to assume new responsibilities related to the control of students' health. This circumstance may have generated psychological problems, such as burnout and stress. The present study has measured the prevalence of burnout, resilience and perceived stress among teachers and their relationship and association with each other. Method: This is a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study on a sample of 222 teachers from educational centers. Different validated surveys were used to measure each dimensión: The BEL Scale for measuring burnout, based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory; the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale CD-RISC 23 and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire PSS-14. Results: The results show a low prevalence of burnout and a high correlation between all the dimensions. The levels of resilience are high and the level of perceived stress is very low. The Odds Ratio showed that women are twice as resilient as men and "experience" has a decisive influence on the development of resilience, being a protective factor, as well as on the development of stress.Conclusión: This study could guide those responsible for health and educational administrations in the design of future policies related to the psychosocial health of teachers.

В статье приведены результаты проведённого поиска в «PubMed», «Web of Science», «Sci-Hub», «Mendeley», «Google Аcademy», «Cochrane Library», «EBSCOHOST» в период с 2018 по 2023 год, используя "атопический дерматит" и/или "микробиота кишечника" и/или "кишечная микробиота", "гигиеническая гипотеза" и "пробиотики" в качестве поисковых слов для обобщения последних исследований в области развития кишечной микрофлоры и ее связи с атопическим дерматитом (АтД). Результаты дают основание полагать об отсутствии доказательной базы по использованию пробиотиков для лечения экземы в настоящее время. Однако продолжающиеся исследования в этой области не оставляют надежду о получении более глубоких выводов о влиянии пробиотиков на профилактику или лечение АтД.

The article presents the results of a search in "PubMed", "Web of Science", "Sci-Hub", "Mendeley", "Google Academy", "Cochrane Library", "EBSCOHOST" in the period from 2018 to 2023, using "atopic dermatitis" and/or "gut microbiota" and/or "intestinal microbiota", "hygienic hypothesis" and "probiotics" as search words to summarize the latest research in the development of intestinal microflora and its relationship with atopic dermatitis (AtD). The results give reason to believe that there is no evidence base for the use of probiotics for the treatment of eczema at the present time. However, ongoing research in this area does not give up hope of obtaining deeper conclusions about the effect of probiotics on the prevention or treatment of AtD.

RELATIVISMO DO DIREITO À CULTURA: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DA SUA LINGUAGEM NO MERCADO DE ARTE INDÍGENA
Authors: Pontes Ílina Cordeiro de Macedo
Published: December 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo averiguar a existência de uma linguagem própria do direito à cultura no mercado de arte indígena. Para isso, os direitos culturais são considerados como direito humanos e, portanto, produtos da linguagem. A sua abordagem enquanto linguagem é identificada nas discussões de dois autores com matizes jurídicos opostos, Michel Villey e Costas Douzinas. Dessa forma, o caráter de universalidade desses direitos é afastado. A fim de compreender o conceito de direito à cultura no mercado indígena, será, em primeiro lugar, analisado em documentos que são parâmetro no Direito Internacional, a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos (1948) e a Declaração das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos dos Povos Indígenas (2007). Em seguida, o conceito de direito à cultura é investigado em três documentos voltados a entes, primordialmente, privados do mercado de arte, o Indigenous Art Code, o ICOM Code of Ethics for Natural History Museums e o Code of Practice for galleries and retailers of Indigenous Art. As análises dos documentos são, assim, meios utilizados para confirmar a hipótese inicial de que o direito à cultura é relativo e possui manifestação diversa nas diferentes searas

A prática do desenvolvimento sustentável é uma realidade presente em vários segmentos da sociedade. Considerando isto, as construções devem ser ecologicamente corretas, socialmente justas, culturalmente aceitas e economicamente viáveis. Buscando a sustentabilidade, o uso de materiais de construção não convencionais é cada vez maior, principalmente para obras de interesse social. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo, desenvolver compósitos leves a partir de resíduos industriais do setor calçadista local, visando à elaboração de elementos construtivos para proteção térmica de alvenarias. Foram avaliados teores de incorporação de resíduos da indústria calçadista em matrizes de gesso, através da observação de propriedades físico-mecânicas. Foram testados três quantidades desse resíduo. Analisou-se também a pressão de moldagem adequada para esses compósitos. Nos traços otimizados foi verificada a condutividade térmica. Notou-se que os compósitos estudados puderam ser considerados leves, possuindo capacidade de isolar termicamente, com propriedades físico-mecânicas e condutividade térmica semelhantes à de elementos construtivos validados, existentes no mercado. Além do enfoque econômico e social, este estudo teve uma importância eco sustentável significativa, uma vez que procurou viabilizar a utilização de resíduos industriais e ainda contribuir para o desenvolvimento de elementos construtivos que primam pela eficiência energética das construções rurais.

In the Ethiopian highlands, lack of the availability of multipurpose tree species is a major problem challenging the livelihoods of the local farmers. For example, the shortage of multipurpose trees in such areas has caused huge amount of soil erosion, land degradation and ultimately led to poor agricultural production. In addition, local farmers have little experience in planting multipurpose tree species and there was little species choice for fodder, fuelwood and soil rehabilitation purposes. Even though there are some efforts made in the past to introduce multipurpose tree species in the highland areas, there are only a few species adopted by the local farmers. The aim of this study was to select the best multipurpose tree species that help improve agriculture productions in the mid land areas found in North Shewa Administrative Zone, Ethiopia. Accordingly, eight multipurpose tree and shrub species namely:Albizia chinensis, Desmanthus virgatus, Caliandra houstunian, Genistamon spossulana, Femingia macrophyla, Robinia pseudoacacia, Leuceana diversifolia, and Medica goarboria were included in this study. Randomly Completely Block Design (RCBD) was employed with three replication and sixteen plants were planted in each plot. The experiment was done for six years. The results suggested that Leuceana diversifolia, Albizia chinensis, Genistamon spossulana, Femingia macrophyla and Desmanthus virgatus showed better growth and height performance. On the other hand, Medica goarboria, Caliandra houstunian and Robinia pseudoacacia had poor height and growth performance. The crude protein content of Albizia chinensis, Desmanthus virgatus, Caliandra houstunian and Leuceana diversifolia ranged between 18.02 and 19.69 percent which is important to fulfill the dietary requirements for dairy cows. The highest leaf biomass production was obtained from L. diversifolia (3644 kg/ha).Whereas, C. houstunia gave the least leaf biomass. L. diversifolia trees increased soil pH and organic carbon significantly under soil depth of (0-15cm). Desmanthus virgatus has highest Phosphorus uptake at 15-30 depth of soil. The conclusion from this study is that multipurpose tree and shrub species can be used for supplements for livestock feed in north Shewa condition. In addition, these multipurpose species can help to improve soil conditions especially in degraded areas where soil condition is poor.

Published: December 2023

Estimation of variability is the first step in the process of variety development. The study was conducted at Simada research site of Adet Agricultural Research Center in 2016 main rainy season to estimate genetic variability among 105 potato genotypes that included five checks. The experiment was laid out in augmented design and data were collected for 20 traits. The analysis of variance revealed the presence of highly significant (P<0.01) differences among genotypes for all traits considered except plant height, and small and medium size tubers percentage. Total tuber yield was ranged from 13.92 to 41.79 ton ha-1. The three new entries (20SET4.2, 20SET4.1 and 16SET5.5) had a total tuber yield advantage of 35 to 51% over the best yielding check (Belete). Phenotypic (PCV) and genotypic (GCV) coefficient of variation values ranged from 1.86 to 32.8 and 1.3 to 25.5%, respectively, while heritability and genetic advance as percent of mean estimates ranged from 45.95 to 89.15 and 3.33 to 40.89%, respectively. Moderate to high GCV, PCV, H2 and GAM were estimated for majority of the traits, suggesting selection breeding is effective to improve these traits. Since the result revealed exploitable variations among the tested drought tolerant potato genotypes, appropriate breeding method is an option to improve potato production in the terminal moisture stress area.

Published: December 2023

The main objective of this research is to examine the role of proverbs to reflect indigenous ethical values in Sidama society. The research was conducted in Chuko Wereda of Sidama zone in southern Ethiopia. Philosophical insight of oral tradition is analyzed from various sources such as proverbs, songs, sayings, and stories to understand the indigenous knowledge of Sidama society. The researcher used qualitative research methods to analyze both primary and secondary data from various sources. The primary data was collected from the various target groups by using focus group discussion, observation, in-depth and unstructured interview in 2017. The secondary data from various sources was also analyzed together with primary sources. The result of analyzing both secondary and primary sources proves that proverbs in indigenous ethical values of the Sidama society have both normative and descriptive ethical roles that include reflecting on deontological, teleological, virtues, descriptive, customary practice, social laws and development ethics of the society. These findings imply that indigenous ethical values have tremendous roles in guiding the day-to-day activities of the Sidama people. The result of this study also indicates that proverbs in Sidama society are reflecting indigenous ethical values that have the potential to enhance good governance through shaping the ethical behaviors of the members of the society.
Exclusion in The Name of Inclusion: The Trial and Error of Inclusive Education in Ethiopia
Authors:   Debre Berhan University, Adugna Jimma Asrat
Published: December 2023

This paper was aimed to analyze the trial and error of inclusive education in Ethiopia. It was planned to scrutinize whether the design and implementation of policy and law on inclusive education was supporting students with disabilities to attain ‘effective education’ in the ‘general education system’.The broader assumption was that, the practice of inclusive educationin Ethiopia has been a ‘Trojan horse’ to non-direct exclusion in the name of inclusion. In order to test the above hypothesis, the paper employed a method that was applicable exclusively in legal research which is the black-letter or doctrinal methodology in line with empirical approach. The particular concern of the empirical approach, in this regard, was to examine the legal and human rights implications of ‘inclusion in education’ on the lived experience of students with disabilities. The primary data were employed by interpreting the legal instruments and conducting an in-depth interview with the concerned stakeholders. The secondary data were obtained through a critical engagement with existing literature on the subject. A practical instance has been made, from personal observation, for the necessity of analyzing the subject of ‘inclusive education’ from a perspective that entails respect for the human rights of persons with disabilities. And, the following major findings were obtained. The lack of enforcing regulations and educational law, underprivileged infrastructure and access, and dearth of teachers’ and parents’ support were the major barriers to inclusive education. It concluded, therefore, in the Ethiopian experimental practice, design and implementation of policy and laws is currently in shoddier state to serve the purpose and advantages of inclusive education. Based on the findings obtained some recommendations were suggested such as the need for paraprofessional support, the institutionalization of Parent-Teacher Associations, establishment of resource centers and the need for a preparatory class before full inclusion.
Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis Among Seed Yield and Yield Related Traits of Ethiopian Chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.) Landraces
Authors:   Sirinka Agricultural Research Center, Mohammed Awol , Fikre Asnake ,   ICRISAT
Published: December 2023

An experiment was under taken on 202 new chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) accessions and two released varieties to determine the association of different characters with seed yield, direct and indirect influence of characters towards yield and yield contributing traits. The experiment was planted at Sirinkaand Jari test stations under rain fed condition in 2016 using alpha lattice design with three replications. Data were collected on yield and yield related traits. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences (P<0.001) among the tested genotypes. The correlation of grain yield with biomass (rg= 0.71 and rph= 0.72) and with harvest index (rg = 0.52 and rph= 0.54) was positive and highly significant both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. In addition, its association with pod filling period, plant height, secondary branches and hundred seed weight was positive but non-significant both at genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path coefficient analysis at genotypic level showed that among the fifteen causal (independent) traits; biomass (0.84), harvest index (0.69), pod length (9.73), days to pod setting (0.024), pod filing period (0.020), and number of pods per plant (0.019) had positive directly influence on grain yield. Despite the days to flowering, plant height and hundred seed weight had positive genotypic correlation with grain yield, and their direct effects on grain yield were negative. This implies that the observed positive correlations of these traits with grain yield were due to their indirect positive effects on grain yield through primary branches, number of seeds per pod, biomass, pod length, canopy width and harvest index. Therefore, future selection of chickpea genotypes should be focused on traits which had positive correlation and direct effect on grain yield at both genotypic and phenotypic levels for obtaining high yield in chickpea breeding program.

Participatory variety selection (PVS) of cotton was conducted in 2016 and 2017 main cropping season at Metema and Tach-armachiho. The experiment was done with an objective of evaluating the performance of varieties participating with farmers, and thereby to identify the most important farmers’ criteria for future improvement work. Eight released varieties were evaluated. The trial was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. here was significant difference among varieties for seed cotton yield, lint yield and some of the other traits. The varieties Mian-01(2829.9 kg/ha), Sisikuk-02 (2584 kg/ha) and Ionia (2422.7 kg/ha) gave superior seed cotton and - lint yield over the standard check Deltapine-90 (1988.9 kg/ha). The farmers showed priority for both qualitative and quantitative traits. In both Metema and Tach-armachiho, farmers identified eight traits as the best criteria of selection. These were early maturity, size of bolls, number of bolls, height, branching habit, softness, stretching ability and disease tolerance. According to those criteria’s, farmers’ selection result was in accordance with seed cotton yield and lint yield analysis results. Whereby, the high yielder varieties (Mian-01, Sisikuk-02 and Ionia were selected by farmers for its ability to mature early, larger size of bolls and uniformly. These three varieties showed higher performance for yield, and on top of that, were ranked top based on farmer’s selection. Therefore, the varieties are recommended for cultivation in the high potential area ofthe North Western Gondar and similar agro ecologies. Moreover, our future cotton improvement program should target on developing varieties that fulfill farmers’ preferences.

The blended flour food product Injera nutritional values were found to be estimated to cover energy of 15 % (MTC2, 373 of 2500 kcal) daily recommended RDA value that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97-98 %) healthy individuals in each age and gender group of adult man (age, 19-50). The pH value for the whole teff Injera (3.38) was lower than other blended composite flours. The blend MTC1-4 samples of the attributes had score above the mean (3.5) of the maximum score 7 of the scale. Thus, maize (10%) and (10, 20, 30 & 40%) cassava flour substitutions for teff flour did not reduce the sensory quality of the Injera sample.

Croton macrostachyus is one of the most common traditional medicinal plants used in Ethiopia. The parts of this plant such as bark, twigs, fruits, leaves, roots, and seeds showed varieties of medicinal properties and cure various human and animal diseases and ailments. This paper reports the phytochemical constituents of the extracts from Croton macrostachyus plant parts grown in horo guduru wollega zone of Ethiopia and their antibacterial activities against different bacteria as well as isolation of a compound from the plant extract. Antibacterial activities of ethanol extracts of leaf, root, seed, and stem bark of Croton macrostachyus were screened against Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using disc diffusion method on Mueller – Hinton Agar (MHA). All the extracts showed inhibitory activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli. However no activity was recorded against Staphylococcus aureus. A compound, labeled as 1-18D, was isolated from the stem bark, and its structure was elucidated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR and compared with previously reported literature. The isolated compound showed antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, but no inhibitory activity against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The finding of this study indicates that the ethanol extracts and the isolated compound is a promising antibacterial agent against several human pathogens.

Published: December 2023

Objetivo: Identificar las principales características epidemiológicas y ultrasonográficas de los diferentes grados de reflujo vésicoureteral (RVU) detectados por cistouretrografía miccional seriada (CUMS) en niños.

Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo donde se analizaron las ultrasonográfias (US) y las CUMS de 279 niños (554 riñones) menores de 18 años con sospecha de RVU en el Instituto Nacional de Salud del Niño, entre julio a diciembre del 2009. Los hallazgos de US para RVU considerados fueron la dilatación del sistema pielocalicilial y del uréter, el engrosamiento del urotelio y de la pared vesical; mientras que para daño renal fueron la disminución del tamaño renal y del grosor del parénquima renal, el incremento de la ecogenicidad del parénquima renal y la desdiferenciación córtico medular. El RVU se clasificó según el Sistema Internacional de Gradación del RVU en cinco grados. Los datos se analizaron en base a frecuencias y porcentajes.

Resultados: Predominó el sexo femenino (54.05%) y la edad entre los 6 meses y 6 años (64.86%). Sólo 27 niños (51 riñones) presentaron RVU. La dilatación del sistema pielocalicilial fue el criterio ultrasonográfico más frecuente (52.94%) para RVU, mientras que la disminución del tamaño renal lo fue para daño renal (52.94%). Todos los hallazgos por US evaluados predominaron en los grados severos de RVU (IV y V). Sin embargo, existieron pacientes con US normal a pesar de presentar grados severos de reflujo. La poliquistosis renal (21.43%) fue la anomalía congénita más frecuente. El 17.64% de pacientes con RVU se asoció con otra anomalía.

Conclusiones: El RVU es más frecuente en el sexo femenino. La ultrasonografía permite detectar los grados más severos de RVU y la presencia de daño renal, sin embargo, una ecografía normal no la excluye. Además la ultrasonografía ayuda a determinar otras anomalías que pueden estar o no asociadas al RVU.

Diplomacia Evropiane ishte në pozitë dominuese pas humbjes së ndikimit sovjetik në shtetet e Evropës Lindore. Kriza Jugosllave ishte sfida e parë për Komunitetin Evropian, i cili nuk arriti të ndalonte konfliktin në hapësirat e ish Jugosllavisë. Diplomacia evropiane nuk u tregua e vendosur në qëndrimet fillestare të krizës jugosllave duke bërë përpjekje për të ruajtur Federatën Jugosllave, në një kohë kur kjo ishte e pamundur për shkak të ardhjes në pushtet të liderëve qe kërkonin pavarësi nga Federata Jugosllave.Përpjekjet e diplomatëve evropianë në Konferencën e Londrës, të Hagës dhe pastaj në vazhdim në atë të Gjenevës, nuk arritën që të ndalnin shtrirjen e konfliktit drejt Kosovës, aty ku paqja u vendos vetëm atëherë kur diplomacia u kombinua me forcën ajrore të NATO-s.

BACKGROUND: Low-level lasers may occasionally replace surgery or medications without adverse effects, so studying them stands to reason. It heals, regenerates tissue, reduces inflammation, discomfort, and boosts immunity. Research is continuing. It may help physical therapy, healthcare, and the community by being cost-efficient, simple, and successful.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of low-level laser therapy and routine physical therapy on shoulder pain, functional disability, and range of motion in patients with Type II SLAP tear.
METHODS: It was a Randomized Controlled Trial conducted at Physical therapy department, Sialkot Medical and Physiotherapy Center Branches Pasroor and Sambrail. The estimated sample size is 52, and adjusting for an expected 20% dropouts, the sample size was 62, allocated 31 in each group. Both male and female patients with Age between 50-70 years having Type II SLAP tear, Visual analogue scale (VAS) score above 3 and the patients diagnosed by physician, orthopedic physician or surgeon or rheumatologist were included. The included patients were allocated in group A, routine physical therapy, and Group B low level laser. All the patients were assessed at baseline, at 4th week of Treatment and at 8th week of Treatment for pain, shoulder pain and disability index and shoulder ranges.
RESULTS: The results regarding age showed mean and standard deviation to be 1.8387±.77875 in routine physical therapy group while 1.8065±.79244 in low level laser therapy group. The comparison of mean SPADI total score at 8th week of assessment it was found to be respectively 58.3226±4.57083 and 50.3871±4.85577 with a significant mean difference of 7.935 in favor of low-level laser therapy as shown by p value 0.000. Other outcome measures including pain and shoulder ranges were also significantly improved in low level laser therapy group, p value < 0.05.
CONCUSSION: The findings of the study concluded that low level plays the therapy is significantly more effective improving pain disability and shoulder range of motions in patients with slap tear, except for abduction range of motion which was improved equally in both groups. Moreover, within routine physical therapy and low-level laser therapy group showed significant improvement at pre and post level of assessment except that of total shoulder and pain disability index score which was not improved significantly in routine physical therapy group without combination of low-level laser therapy.
Tout se tient : la vision holistique plurilingue et actionnelle du nouveau CECR1
Authors: Piccardo Enrica
Published: December 2023

Vingt ans après sa sortie officielle, le Cadre européen de référence se renouvelle. Cet outil, qui a eu une grande influence sur tous les acteurs impliqués dans l’éducation aux langues aux différents niveaux en Europe et dans bien des contextes extra européens, a fait l’objet d’un travail profond de renouvellement et d’expansion. En particulier, un de ses concepts les plus novateurs, celui de médiation, a trouvé enfin l’espace et l’articulation qu’il méritait, parvenant ainsi à donner toute son épaisseur au schéma descriptif, vraie colonne vertébrale conceptuelle du CECR. Le passage des quatre compétences aux quatre modes de communication que le CECR proposait il y a deux décennies montre maintenant tout son potentiel dans le domaine de la didactique des langues. À l’occasion du lancement de la version française du nouveau CECR (Conseil de l’Europe 2021), il est important de s’interroger sur la portée de la médiation et sur le rôle fondamental qu’elle détient par rapport aux autres concepts clés du CECR, notamment le plurilinguisme/pluriculturalisme et l’approche actionnelle. Après avoir présenté comment la notion de médiation a été développée et a informé le nouveau CECR, l’article interroge l’articulation des différents concepts clés et la façon dont ils peuvent être considérés comme des leviers d’innovation.

Published: December 2023

Görsel dilin güçlü bir elemanı olan renk teori ve pratiğin ara kesitinde kavranması gereken bir olgu olarak disiplinler arası bir perspektifle incelenmelidir. Kuramdan pratiğe sanat/tasarım alanının ortak paydasında varlık bulan renk; Antik Çağ’dan günümüze üretilen renk teorileri ile felsefenin, üretmiş olduğu sembolizm dilinin işaret ettiği kolektif bilinç kavramıyla toplumbilim alanının; algıdaki değişimi etkileyen kuvvetiyle psikolojinin, görme işlevinin ardındaki mekanizmanın derinliği ile fizyolojinin, pigment (renk) molekülünün karmaşık yapısı ile kimyanın, ışığın dalga boyu ve frekans niteliğiyle fiziğin, tıptan sanat/tasarıma pek çok farklı alanın etkileşim ortamında varlık göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, tüm disiplinlerin ürettiği ortak hafızadan yola çıkarak, renk olgusunu sanat-tasarım alanının perspektifiyle görsel dil bağlamında, ana renkler odağında ele almaktadır. Ana renklerin yaslandığı ve ürettiği anlamın, başka bir ifadeyle kırmızı, mavi ve sarının öz niteliklerinin yanında birbirlerine olan mesafeleri, etkileşimleri, benzerlik ve farklarıyla kendi evrenlerinin sınırlarını nasıl çizdiklerini çağdaş sanat-tasarım alanı içinden öne çıkan örnekleri analiz ederek ortaya koymaktadır. Rengin dünden bugüne sanat-tasarım alanında egemen ve süregelen varlığı ile bunu anlama çabası bu çalışmanın gündeme taşınmasının temel nedeni olmuştur.
