International Medical Students' Financial Security in China: Lessons from an Individual Case Study
Authors: JIANG Qınxu
Published: June 2022

Financial security affects international students’ success and wellbeing and is a cause for great concern. However, it is still understudied in the literature. This is an especially important issue in countries where most international students are self-financed and/or originate from developing countries. This is the case in China, which hosts a large number of international students, and where such research is still lacking. Adopting a phenomenological approach, this exploratory study was a case study of a high-achieving international medical student in China who experienced (and overcame) financial difficulties. Findings of the study have important implications for policy and practice, and call for an expansion of the Chinese government’s policy concerning the financial needs of poor domestic students, supporting them with financial resources and extending these resources to students from developing countries studying in the Chinese higher education system. The implications also include the need for Chinese universities to assume greater responsibility and provide more support for the learning and wellbeing of international students.

In worldwide commercial and technology-based enterprises, the English language is increasingly extensively utilised and may be regarded one of the most effective communication mediums. India has acknowledged the significance of English and has implemented several educational programmes to boost the English language proficiency of its citizens. India is a multilingual nation with a complicated linguistic community, but one in which policymakers advocate English as the way to modernisation. Apart from their native tongue and regional languages, pupils must acquire English, which is an important worldwide language. Following independence, the Indian government established different commissions and committees to investigate the issue of the whole educational system and provide solutions for its reform. The commissions also address the problem of English language proficiency and give it proper weight at different levels of schooling.The present paper focuses on the Comparative study on achievement levels of high school students in English subject who are studying in government, government-aided and private schools. Study of achievement in English of high school students in relation to gender, location and type of school.

Authors: Nurisman Nanda , Tarigan Trika Agnestasia
Published: June 2022

Sebagian besar pantai di sisi barat pulau Sumatera merupakan pantai wisata. Keindahan pantai dapat meningkatkan perekonomian masyarakat ternyata diikuti oleh ancaman gelombang swell dari Samudera Hindia. Struktur pelindung pantai yang umumnya digunakan adalah breakwater. Di Indonesia, sangat banyak dijumpai breakwater yang memiliki gradien kemiringan 1:2. Semakin besar gradien kemiringan breakwater maka semakin banyak volume armor breakwater yang digunakan, sehingga berdampak pada besarnya biaya pembangunan breakwater. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini mengkaji konfigurasi gradien kemiringan pada submerged breakwater. Penilitian ini berfokus pada struktur submerged breakwater dikarenakan puncak strukturnya berada di bawah muka air sehingga ramah bagi pantai wisata. Penelitian ini menggunakan variasi gradien kemiringan struktur 1:2 dan 1:1.5, sedangkan diameter pori struktur submerged breakwater adalah 2 cm. Berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh, struktur submerged breakwater dengan kemiringan 1:1.5 puncak tanpa lubang menghasilkan kecepatan arus yang besar, nilai koefisien tranmisi gelombang terkecil dan presentase efektifitas struktur yang paling besar. Peneliti berkesimpulan bahwa kemiringan gradien struktur submerged breakwater sangat berpengaruh terhadap penjalaran gelombang. Semakin besar kecuraman struktur submerged breakwater maka semakin efektif dalam mengurangi tinggi gelombang datang. Selain itu, kondisi tersebut juga sangat dipengaruhi oleh kondisi gelombang datang. Sehingga disain submerged breakwater dapat menjadi kunci bagi transport sedimen dan perubahan batimetri di pantai wisata.Kata Kunci : pantai, gelombang, erosi, submerged breakwater

Explaining Connectedness: An Exploration of the Factors Affecting Internet Access in India
Authors: Malekar Simone
Published: June 2022

Access to the internet can promote education, upskilling, human capital, and national and international economic outcomes. However, the household internet access rate in India in 2011 was 10.1% (Roser et al., 2015). Using data from the 2011 Indian Census, this study analyses the impact of computer access, area, literacy, and working rates alongside a gender perspective to explain district-wise household internet access. The analysis demonstrates that access to computers, area, male activity, and literacy significantly explain the internet access rates observed in Indian districts. The study concludes that socio-demographic factors influence the internet uptake and digital divide in India. The conclusion of this paper contributes to theoretical discussions of the digital divide in the modern history of India and provides implications for policy and market expansion in India.
Latin American Inequalities in the Long-Run
Authors: Engelbrecht Pao
Published: June 2022

Despite recent declines, economic inequality has been relatively high in Latin America. Institutionally, contemporary inequalities have roots in the continent’s colonial past. This essay supports this view by refuting a counter-argument by Jeffrey Williamson. Comparing Latin American to European and North American developments, Williamson attributes relatively high levels of inequality in Latin America to a missed period of globalisation with levelling effects. My analysis, however, suggests that Williamson misses the “levelling effects” of war and crisis. Rather than missing an equalising period of globalisation, Latin America has missed the destructions of two world wars and the Great Recession. Williamson also overlooks the fact that inequalities have been relatively low in Latin America right after independence, mainly due to capital destruction during civil wars. Yet, extractive colonial institutions have persisted and still help explain Latin American inequalities today. According to Mazzuca’s analysis of “plebiscitarian superpresidentialism,” when commodity prices fall while extractive institutions persist, rent-seeking institutions temporarily generate lower inequalities. Through this lens, recent declines in Latin American inequalities should be seen as a short-lived phenomenon likely to be reversed.
Elysian Woods and Desolate Shores: Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written in Sweden, Norway and Denmark and her Perception of Rousseau’s Ideas of Solitude
Authors: Lynn Leeper Jessica
Published: June 2022

This paper explores the philosophical approaches toward solitary living and social progress of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Mary Wollstonecraft. Comparing Wollstonecraft’s Letters Written in Sweden, Norway and Denmark against Rousseau’s Discourse on the Origin of Inequality and his Reveries of the Solitary Walker, reveals how they understood the ideas of isolation and solitude in irreconcilable ways. Both authors approached solitude and social progress from distinctly personal standpoints, having both experienced crises in their personal lives, which prompted their social critiques of eighteenth-century Europe and England. Rousseau suffered from years of political exile, and the mental struggles of social paranoia, and Wollstonecraft faced and fought against sexism and female dependence. The article examines these two authors to show how one’s reaction to a state of solitude is determined by historical ideas, gender experiences, social experiences, selfishness, social consciousness, and dependence vs. independence. The paper concludes that Rousseau eventually found solace in a fantasy of solitary living, with a bleak outlook for the social progress of mankind, whereas Wollstonecraft more stoically accepted a life amidst a corrupt society in order to fight for the rights of women.

Published: June 2022

This work is devoted to assessing the changes in anxiety among Moscow students during the COVID-2019 pandemic. The material was collected in comprehensive examination of 18–25-year-old students studying at Lomonosov Moscow State University (residents of Moscow and the Moscow region). The study included longitudinal and cross-sectional components. The methodology included a social questionnaire about the peculiarities of the self-isolation regime, living conditions of the respondent, professional employment, etc. and the scale of situational and personal anxiety of C.D. Spielberger in the Russian-language adaptation of Yu.L. Khanin. A total of 284 questionnaires have been analyzed. In 2020, two consecutive waves of infection were recorded in Russia: in May and in December. During the first wave, severe social restrictions and a temporary lockdown were introduced in Moscow, and the second one took place under conditions of significantly less restrictions, although it was marked by a large number of infections. Different social load and adaptation to the pandemic led to the fact that the behavioral manifestations of stress and the level of situational anxiety among Moscow students increased significantly at the beginning of the pandemic, but subsequently began to decrease. It can be concluded that among university students there is a social and psychological adaptation to new norms of life, which are dictated by the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: June 2022

We report a case of keratopathy due to retained stinger elements following a bee sting and envenomation of the ocular adnexa. A 48-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of right-sided eye pain, photophobia, and reduced visual acuity. Six days prior to presentation, she had been stung on the right upper eyelid by a bee. Her usual practitioner had removed the stinger and commenced a course of oral antibiotics. Anterior segment examination revealed coarse linear abrasions and superficial punctate keratitis with associated epithelial edema. Eversion of the right upper eyelid revealed the presence of retained stinger lancets near the medial eyelid margin.  The retained stinger was removed, and the patient responded well to treatment with topical antibiotics, steroids, and cycloplegia.

Retinal Vessel Segmentation Based on the Anam-Net Model
Authors: Aurangzeb Khursheed , Haider Syed Irtaza , Alhussein Musaed
Published: June 2022

Accurate segmentation of retinal blood vessels can help ophthalmologists diagnose eye-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. The task of segmentation of the vessels comes with a number of challenges. Some of the challenges are due to haemorrhages and microaneurysms in fundus imaging, while others are due to the central vessel reflex and low contrast. Encoder-decoder networks have recently achieved excellent performance in retinal vascular segmentation at the trade-off of increased computational complexity. In this work, we use the Anam-Net model to accurately segment retinal vessels at a low computational cost. The Anam-Net model consists of a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) along with bottleneck layers in the encoder and decoder stages. Compared to the standard U-Net model and the R2U-Net model, the Anam-Net model has 6.9 times and 10.9 times fewer parameters. We evaluated the Anam-Net model on three open-access datasets: DRIVE, STARE, and CHASE_DB. The results show that the Anam-Net model achieves better segmentation accuracy compared to several state-of-the-art methods. For the DRIVE, STARE, and CHASE DB datasets, the model achieved {sensitivity and accuracy} of {0.8601, 0.9660}, {0.8697, 0.9728}, and {0.8553, 0.9746}, respectively. On the DRIVE, STARE, and CHASE_DB datasets, we also conduct cross-training experiments. The outcome of this experiment demonstrates the generalizability and robustness of the Anam-Net model.

In this article, a novel technique is proposed, namely rank-based multi-objective antlion optimization (RMOALO), and applied to optimize the performance of the energy harvesting cognitive radio network (EHCRN). The original selection method in multi-objective antlion optimizer (MOALO) is suitably changed to improve the algorithm, thus reaching the optimal solution for the problem. The proposed technique shows considerable performance improvement over the method used in the multi-objective antlion optimizer (MOALO). The performance of the proposed RMOALO is demonstrated on five benchmark mathematical functions and compared to multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), multi-objective moth flame optimization (MOMFO), MOALO-Tournament, and MOALO-Roulette. The simulation results show an improved convergence of RMOALO and find the optimal solution to the throughput maximization problem. We show that RMOALO provides 16.33 % improved average throughput with the optimal value of sensing duration for the varying amount of harvested energy compared to MOPSO, MOMFO, MOALO-Roulette, and MOALO-Tournament.
Berechnung oder Besinnung?

In an age of complex crises and problems, the question arises if our approach to our life-world, and our way to be, does actually fit to our existence in the right measure. In this book, it will be shown that Martin Heidegger already thought about the relation of measure and being throughout his lifetime. He does realize that this current relation is based on homogenisation and calculation. Along the thought of Heidegger’s, the question is pursued if a consideration of a new sense of giving measure could take place and how this could be fruitful for a future that is conscious of its past.
Philosophische Anthropologie
Authors: Fischer Joachim
Published: June 2022

Philosophische Anthropologie meint in dieser Studie nicht eine philosophische Subdisziplin, sondern eine besondere Theorierichtung in der deutschsprachigen Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, die mit den Namen Max Scheler, Helmuth Plessner, Erich Rothacker, Arnold Gehlen, Adolf Portmann u. v. a. mehr verbunden ist. Fischers 2008 erstmalig erschienene Studie, die hier in einer 2., durchgesehenen Auflage erscheint, hat in über dreißig Besprechungen eine enorme Resonanz erfahren – in der Philosophie, Soziologie und intellektuellen Öffentlichkeit. Sie wird gewürdigt als ein Standardwerk zur Theoriegeschichte, aber auch zur Theoriesystematik der Philosophischen Anthropologie, die damit als ein auch im 21. Jahrhundert anschlussfähiges Paradigma neu ins Spiel gebracht wird.
Sozialpädagogik in Geschichte und Gegenwart
Authors: Richter Helmut
Published: June 2022

This book provides a historical overview of the fascinating development of democracy education in the field of social education and develops it systematically from the perspective of equal and sustainable inclusivity in relation to different living environments.

Adopting a nuanced approach, it examines the contradictory definition of youth welfare between emergency assistance aimed at remedying shortcomings and an education for all children and adolescents. It reveals how social education has increasingly emerged as having the potential to offer democracy education despite the legal definition of youth welfare merely encompassing preventive care.

Background: Recent research indicates the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency worldwide and is conflicting evidence as to whether vitamin D supplementation actually improves physical performance. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on improving muscle strength, muscle volume and cardiorespiratory fitness through resistance training in male athletes with vitamin D deficiency. Methods: This study was conducted with pre-test and post-test series design and quasi-experimental method. The population included 36 male futsal players with vitamin D deficiency that were randomly divided into four groups of nine: exercise (EX), exercise-supplement (EXS), supplement (SUP) and control (CON). SUP and EXS groups received vitamin D3 (50,000 intramuscular injections) every two weeks for 8 weeks and performed three resistance training (RT) sessions per week at a rate of 75% 1RM. Before and after intervention, blood sampling were drawn and measurements performed for 1RM, muscle volume (cm2), and VO2max by standard Bruce test. Correlated t-test was used to compare pre-test and post-test results and to measure the differences between groups, one-way analysis of variance and LSD post hoc test were used using SPSS statistical software. Results: Muscle volume increased significantly (P-value = 0.001) only in EX and EXS groups. Cardio-respiratory fitness did not change significantly in any of the groups (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences between EXS and SUP groups for any of the measured variables (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusions: It seems that simultaneous application of vitamin D supplementation and resistance training for 8 weeks does not have a significant effect on the improvement of the strength and endurance of futsal players.
On poetic continuities and discontinuities (novel Klobuk by Petar Sarić in the context of his novelistic poetics)
Authors: Jeftimijević-Mihajlović Marija
Published: June 2022

Interpretation of an author's literary work compared to other literary works of the same author necessarily leads to understanding the similarities and differences that this work brings in relation to those that precede it, which means that it is necessary to talk about poetic continuities (which are inevitable) and poetic discontinuities (which are expected). Deciding to connect the plot of his latest novel Klobuk (2021) to the drama of a hero - Turkish leader Asan Begenišić, who was taken to the Janissaries as a child - Šaric made a step into the more distant past than he does in his earlier novels, but remained consistently faithful to the recognizable epic environment, patriarchal culture and tradition, way of storytelling, etc., With his focus on events and character(s) from the historical past and the Montenegrin space, with his novel Klobuk Petar Sarić expresses his consistency with his poetic world, well known from the novels Dečak iz Lastve, Petruša i Miluša, Sutra stiže Gospodar, Strah od svetlosti and Sara. However, he connected the basic story of the novel - the story of klobuk dizdar Asan (Jovan) Begenišić - with the memory of the story he grew up with, which significantly influenced the formation of the world of his literary work. The focus on the personal drama of the protagonist makes this novel by Sarić more psychologically complex, and the emphasized process of symbolization and open concept of narration more modern in relation to everything that this writer published during half a century of creation. With his latest novel, Sarić showed not only full creative and narrative maturity, but also the ability and courage to bring the elements that make up probably his greatest quality into the built and recognizable poetic world of his novels. This primarily refers to the symbolic layer of the novel with which the writer made the greatest poetic discontinuity in relation to previous achievements.
Wings over the Balkans
Authors: Hamović Valentina
Published: June 2022

This research paper deals with the connections between Stanislav Krakov's novel Wings and his memoir prose titled The Life of a Man in the Balkans. The many relations between these two works are seen through the prism of their respective themes and motifs, as well as through various genre shifts which are constantly leading the author back and forth between fiction and factography. The novelistic and real-life levels are interconnected and intertwined in a way that revitalizes the boundaries between art and the war chronicle, thus making the author ponder the questions of the meaning and the truthfulness of war events at a higher level. The tone changes in the aforementioned works, which go from skepticism, irony and sarcasm in Wings, towards sentimentality and declarative patriotism in The Life of a Man in the Balkans, demonstrate the varied reception of the novel through time.
Application of finite sampling points in probability based multi: Objective optimization by means of the uniform experimental design

Introduction/purpose: An approximation for assessing a definite integral is continuously an attractive topic owing to its practical needs in scientific and engineering areas. An efficient approach for preliminarily calculating a definite integral with a small number of sampling points was newly developed to get an approximate value for a numerical integral with a complicated integrand. In the present paper, an efficient approach with a small number of sampling points is combined to the novel probability-based multi-objective optimization (PMOO) by means of uniform experimental design so as to simplify the complicated definite integral in the PMOO preliminarily. Methods: The distribution of sampling points within its single peak domain is deterministic and uniform, which follows the rules of the uniform design method and good lattice points; the total preferable probability is the unique and deterministic index in the PMOO. Results: The applications of the efficient approach with finite sampling points in solving typical problems of PMOO indicate its rationality and convenience in the operation. Conclusion: The efficient approach with finite sampling points for assessing a definite integral is successfully combined with PMOO by means of the uniform design method and good lattice points.
Kinetic simulation of vacuum plasma expansion beyond the "plasma approximation"

Published: June 2022

Introduction/purpose: One of the key approaches to solving an entire class of modern plasma physics problems is the so-called "plasma approximation". The most general definition of the "plasma approximation" is a theoretical approach to the electric field calculation of a system of charges under the electric quasi-neutrality condition. The purpose of this paper is to compare the results of the numerical simulation of the kinetic processes of the quasi-neutral plasma bunch expansion to the analytical solution of a similar kinetic model but in the "plasma approximation". Methods: The given results are obtained by the methods of deterministic modeling based on the numerical solution of the system of Vlasov-Poisson equations. Results: The provided comparison of the analytical expressions for the solution of kinetic equations in the "plasma approximation" and the numerical solutions of the Vlasov-Poisson equations system convincingly show the limitations of the "plasma approximation" in some important cases of the considered problem of plasma formation decay. Conclusion: The theoretical results of this work are of great importance for understanding the shortcomings of the "plasma approximation", which can manifest themselves in practical applications of computational plasma physics.
La relevancia de la historia de los conceptos koselleckiana en la teoría política contemporánea
Authors: Fernández de la Peña Miguel
Published: June 2022

La reciente publicación de Ilustración, progreso, modernidad, aparece como una excusa para volver a dar cuenta de la relevancia de la historia de los conceptos como parte vital de nuestras formas de investigar el pasado. Para ello conviene empezar por situar los tres conceptos que la edición ha tenido en cuenta, entendiéndolos como conceptos útiles para la comprensión de lo que representa la Sattelzeit. Una vez ello nos ha permitido dar cuenta de los principales alementos del enfoque koselleckiano, tendremos en cuenta las críticas que el enfoque recibe desde otras formas de concebir la historia del pensamiento político. Por último, conectaremos la Begriffsgeschichte con la propuesta del contextualismo de Cambridge.
