Breaking the silence: unveiling the intersection of climate change and youth mental health in Indonesia
Authors: Kaligis Fransiska , Wangge Grace , Fernando Gabriela , Palguna Ida Bagus Nyoman Adi , Pramatirta Billy , Purba Natasha Vania Theresia
Published: February 2024

In Southeast Asia, home to 362.2 million adolescents, the issue of adolescent mental health is aggravated by climate change. Indonesia, with its large youth population, faces a concerning prevalence of mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression. The intersection of climate change and youth mental health is manifested in the complex interaction of environmental hazards, societal changes, and psychological impact on adolescents and young people. Climate-related hazards exacerbate the existing and give rise to new mental health issues in youths, notably anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, and the emerging concepts such as eco-anxiety. Eco-anxiety, a novel concept, amplifies these concerns as youths grapple with climate change-related fears despite not yet being recognized as a formal mental disorder. To address this concern, immediate action should be taken, such as advocating for increased mental health support, youth involvement in climate initiatives, youth advisory committees, increased funding for mental health interventions, and the formulation of a youth-centered mental health policy. This call to action is crucial not only for Indonesia but also provides a framework for addressing similar global challenges, empowering adolescents to confront climate-induced mental health issues while nurturing their resilience.
Building Global Health Solidarity in a Permacrisis: Legal Impacts of a Pandemic Treaty
Authors: Hosseini Mina
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Covid-19 has revealed the urgent need for global solidarity in an era of interconnected crises (permacrisis). The World Health Organization (WHO) aims to improve pandemic prevention, preparedness and response through a 'convention, agreement or another international instrument under the constitution of WHO' ('pandemic treaty'). This study analyses shortcomings in global health solidarity during Covid-19, investigates legal impacts of the pandemic treaty and navigates the arguments for and against a pandemic treaty. The treaty's potential legal implications for human rights, intellectual property law, tort law, global health law, competition law and public procurement are examined, as well as some challenges to its implementation. The treaty's success depends on overcoming differences and learning from global failure in order to prepare better for the next pandemic. The pandemic treaty must ensure equity, transparency, accountability and human rights while facilitating access to vaccines and other pandemic-related products, especially for low- and middle-income countries.
Post-Pandemic War Narratives: Case studies of Quo Vadis Aida? (2020), All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) and Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Authors: Brereton Pat
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: War tends to polarise national and global conflicts as encapsulated by the phrase, 'you are either with us or against us'. There is further danger of knee jerk reactions at such times, including the present, towards unconditionally funding long-term military security hardware and dedicating scarce resources that are badly needed for more benevolent projects, including equitable redistribution of resources, not to mention the challenge to move away from fossil fuels in our climate crisis. These tensions are evident on recognising European dependence on Russian oil and gas, which unfortunately is helping to fund the ongoing Ukrainian war. This paper will explore how a sample of more contemporary wars and national conflicts have been dramatised on film since the pandemic. Focusing specifically on three contrasting approaches to the tragedy of war and its effects on citizens and soldiers: from an insider's personal response to the massacre in the Balkans during the 1990s in Quo Vadis, Aida? (2020), to the reworked conventional World War One classic All Quiet on the Western Front (2022), before finally coming full circle with the big budget Hollywood celebration of aerial war heroics in the sequel Top Gun: Maverick (2022). Sample textual and contextual analysis will be used to explore how such war narratives have become repurposed, both from an insider soldier's perspective and also through a rejuvenated cinematic war framework, as contemporary audiences strive to cope with ever-increasing crises and conflicts facing the planet, having recently endured a global pandemic.
'I would prefer not to': The Private Life of a Melancholic Dictator in Salazar na intimidade (1954)
Authors: Ortiz-Echagüe Javier , Pérez Celia Vega
Published: February 2024

Abstract: In 1952, Éditions Grasset published Vacances avec Salazar , a book of interviews with the Portuguese dictator by the French journalist and writer Christine Garnier. It was illustrated by the photographer António Rosa Casaco, who was also a member of the regime's political police. The aim of the book was to promote the figure of Salazar at home and abroad, focusing on some little-known aspects of his life. In 1954, António Rosa Casaco's reportage was republished in a photobook entitled Salazar na intimidade , in which the discourse relied heavily on the photographs. This article aims to analyse the portrait of the Portuguese dictator offered by both books, which has come to be described as an 'anti-image': rather than a heroic and determined character, the leader appears as a solitary, melancholic and ambiguous individual, who has sacrificed himself to serve his country. Resumo: Em 1952, as Éditions Grasset publicaram Vacances avec Salazar , livro de entrevistas ao ditador português da jornalista e escritora francesa Christine Garnier. Foi ilustrado pelo fotógrafo António Rosa Casaco, que também foi membro da polícia política do regime. O objectivo do livro era divulgar a figura de Salazar no país e no estrangeiro, focando alguns aspectos pouco conhecidos da sua vida. Em 1954, a reportagem de António Rosa Casaco foi republicada num álbum fotográfico intitulado Salazar na intimidade , em que o discurso assentava fortemente nas fotografias. Este artigo pretende analisar o retrato do ditador português oferecido por ambos os livros, que passou a ser descrito como uma 'anti-imagem': em vez de uma personagem heroica e determinada, o líder aparece como um indivíduo solitário, melancólico e ambíguo, que se sacrificou para servir o seu país.
Entanglement between indirectly coupled modes in a coupled opto-magnomechanical system

Published: February 2024

In this paper, based on the mechanism of entanglement transfer, we present and analyze several schemes to produce entanglement between indirectly coupled modes in an opto-magnomechanical system coupled with an additional auxiliary cavity. We mainly focus on the research how the entanglement originating from optomechanical or magnomechanical entanglement sources distributes to the indirectly coupled subsystems under weak-coupling and strong-coupling conditions. For the latter, more abundant indirect entanglement can be generated and optomechanical entanglement source can result in the strongest indirect entanglement compared with other cases. Meanwhile, the robustness of the indirect entanglement against the environmental temperature and the preparation of genuine tripartite entanglement for the indirectly coupled modes are also taken into account.

Vaccination is a critical intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality and limit strain on health systems caused by COVID-19. The slow pace of COVID-19 vaccination uptake observed in some settings raises concerns about COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. The Democratic Republic of the Congo experienced logistical challenges and low uptake at the start of vaccine distribution, leading to one of the lowest overall COVID-19 vaccine coverage rates in the world in 2021. This study assessed the magnitude and associated factors of COVID-19 vaccine uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs) in seven provinces in DRC. We implemented a cross-sectional Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) questionnaire targeting HCWs, administered by trained data collectors in Haut-Katanga, Kasaï Orientale, Kinshasa, Kongo Centrale, Lualaba, North Kivu, and South Kivu provinces. Data were summarized and statistical tests were performed to assess factors associated with vaccine uptake. HCWs across the seven provinces completed the questionnaire (N = 5,102), of whom 46.3% had received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Older age, being married, being a medical doctor, being a rural resident, and having access to or having previously worked in a COVID-19 vaccination site were all strongly associated with vaccination uptake. Vaccinated individuals most frequently cited protection of themselves, their families, and their communities as motivations for being vaccinated, whereas unvaccinated individuals were most concerned about safety, effectiveness, and risk of severe side effects. The findings suggest an opinion divide between vaccine-willing and vaccine-hesitant HCWs. A multidimensional approach may be needed to increase the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine for HCWs. Future vaccine campaign messaging could center around the positive impact of vaccination on protecting friends, family, and the community, and also emphasize the safety and very low risk of adverse effects. These types of messages may further be useful when planning future immunization campaigns with new vaccines.
Blood pressure control in patients aged above and below 75 years
Authors: Jung Hae Hyuk
Published: February 2024

It remains unclear what the blood pressure target is and at which point in life it is appropriate for antihypertensive treatment. This study aimed to determine age-specific systolic blood pressure (SBP) targets. In a nationwide cohort of 296,470 hypertensive patients aged ≥75 years and a representative cohort of 259,028 hypertensives aged 45–74 years, multivariable-adjusted incidence rates of cardio-kidney composite events, overt dementia, and all-cause deaths were estimated across yearly-averaged on-treatment SBP levels according to age and the presence of 4 additional risk factors (diabetes, dyslipidemia, albuminuria, and smoking). For cardio-kidney events, on-treatment SBP showed positive curvilinear associations with higher risks at ≥135 mm Hg in most while an attenuated association in age ≥85 years. For overt dementia, SBP showed flat or slightly inverted associations in elderly while a small positive association in age 45–64 years. For all-cause mortality, SBP showed J-shaped associations having right-shifting tendency with age. For risk categories with ≥2, 1, and no additional risk factors, the respective mortality rate differences between SBP 145–154 mm Hg and 125–134 mm Hg were 4.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.0 to 7.3), 1.2 (95% CI, -0.3 to 2.8), and 0.1 (95% CI, -1.4 to 1.8) per 1000 person-years in age ≥75 years and 2.9 (95% CI, 1.7 to 4.3), 0.7 (95% CI, 0.1 to 1.4), and 0.9 (95% CI, 0.2 to 1.6) per 1000 person-years in age 45–74 years. In conclusion, the BP target can be relaxed in very old patients and in elderly patients with few risk factors. However, strict BP control may be needed in patients with multiple risk factors even in those with advanced age.

Computerized cognitive tests have the potential to cost-effectively detect and monitor cognitive impairments and thereby facilitate treatment for these conditions. However, relatively few of these tests have been validated in a variety of populations. Brain on Track, a self-administered web-based test, has previously been shown to have a good ability to differentiate between healthy individuals and patients with cognitive impairment in Portuguese populations. The objective of this study was to validate the differential ability and evaluate the usability of Brain on Track in a Swedish memory clinic setting. Brain on Track was administered to 30 patients with mild cognitive impairment/mild dementia and 30 healthy controls, all scheduled to perform the test from home after one week and after three months. To evaluate the usability, the patient group was interviewed after completion of the testing phase. Patients scored lower than healthy controls at both the first (median score 42.4 vs 54.1, p<0.001) and the second test (median score 42.3 vs 55.0, p<0.001). The test-retest intra-class correlation was 0.87. A multiple logistic regression model accounting for effects of age, gender and education rendered an ability of Brain on Track to differentiate between the groups with an area under the receiver operation characteristics curve of 0.90 for the first and 0.88 for the second test. In the subjective evaluation, nine patients left positive comments, nine were negative whereas five left mixed comments regarding the test experience. Sixty percent of patients had received help from relatives to log on to the platform. In conclusion, Brain on Track performed well in differentiating healthy controls from patients with cognitive impairment and showed a high test-retest reliability, on par with results from previous studies. However, the substantial proportion of patients needing help to log in could to some extent limit an independent use of the platform.
Effect of antiplatelet therapy after COVID-19 diagnosis: A systematic review with meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis

Published: February 2024

Background

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may predispose patients to thrombotic disease in the venous and arterial circulations.

Methods

Based on the current debate on antiplatelet therapy in COVID-19 patients, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of antiplatelet treatments. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Web of Science on February 1, 2023, and only included Randomized clinical trials. The study followed PRISMA guidelines and used Random-effects models to estimate the pooled percentage and its 95% CI.

Results

Five unique eligible studies were included, covering 17,950 patients with COVID-19. The result showed no statistically significant difference in the relative risk of all-cause death in antiplatelet therapy versus non-antiplatelet therapy (RR 0.94, 95% CI, 0.83–1.05, P = 0.26, I2 = 32%). Compared to no antiplatelet therapy, patients who received antiplatelet therapy had a significantly increased relative risk of major bleeding (RR 1.81, 95%CI 1.09–3.00, P = 0.02, I2 = 16%). The sequential analysis suggests that more RCTs are needed to draw more accurate conclusions. This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that the use of antiplatelet agents exhibited no significant benefit on all-cause death, and the upper bound of the confidence interval on all-cause death (RR 95% CI, 0.83–1.05) suggested that it was unlikely to be a substantiated harm risk associated with this treatment. However, evidence from all RCTs suggested a high risk of major bleeding in antiplatelet agent treatments.

Conclusion

According to the results of our sequential analysis, there is not enough evidence available to support or negate the use of antiplatelet agents in COVID-19 cases. The results of ongoing and future well-designed, large, randomized clinical trials are needed.

legado femenino
Authors: Gómez Díaz Francisco José
Published: February 2024

A través del vídeo «Entremanos» Eva Lootz ofrece una visión particular sobre la contribución de las mujeres al arte y sobre la herencia femenina en el contexto del arte contemporáneo. El videoarte ha sido utilizado por artistas mujeres con el propósito de desmantelar los estereotipos de género presentes en la televisión y el cine. Lootz investiga la incorporación de la tactilidad y la oralidad en el arte, inspirándose en este caso en un juego infantil (las cunitas) y la subjetividad femenina según los planteamientos de Jacques Lacan. Asimismo, se adentra en el análisis del uso simbólico de juegos de cuerdas y nudos en la cultura occidental. En esta obra, Lootz subraya el papel de las mujeres en el arte y la transmisión cultural, poniendo de manifiesto su aporte en el ámbito artístico contemporáneo.
Revisiones del vídeo doméstico en la era digital
Authors: Vera Aurioles Cristina
Published: February 2024

El cambio de siglo trajo consigo una serie de transformaciones tecnológicas, destacando entre ellas, la democratización de los medios audiovisuales o la creación de nuevos dispositivos de captación y reproducción doméstica. Esto supuso un impulso para la creación videográfica casera, y en tanto para la práctica artística de vídeo doméstico, reconocido a finales del siglo XX como género y como material de trabajo. Por ello, nos centramos en analizar las características identificativas del vídeo doméstico, aportando una definición actualizada del mismo, teniendo en cuenta su relación con la práctica amateur y abordando las renovaciones conceptuales y metodológicas de los agentes –usuario y artista- que intervienen en la creación.
intersticios televisados como soporte para la práctica artística en vídeo
Authors: Roncero Palomar Ricardo
Published: February 2024

Desde finales de los años 60, de forma puntual, surgió una cooperación inédita entre cadenas de televisión y artistas visuales. Esta dinámica propició, entre otras, un entorno favorable para la creación de breves piezas audiovisuales integradas de manera inesperada en la programación televisiva. Estas obras situadas en los intersticios televisivos dieron lugar a un nuevo formato artístico que desafiaba las normas del objeto físico dictadas por el mercado del arte y que resultaría difícil de replicar en décadas posteriores. Esta investigación se centrará en presentar estas prácticas artísticas transmitidas por televisión, las cuales lograban invertir los ciclos expositivos al introducir la obra en el hogar del espectador, sorprendiéndole. Posteriormente, se explorará su influencia y continuidad en el ámbito televisivo, además de abordar las problemáticas actuales que enfrentan estas piezas para ser expuestas en entornos museísticos.
experimentación en el arte audiovisual y en el cine
Authors: Tornero Lorenzo Paz
Published: February 2024

Profundizar en los múltiples lenguajes audiovisuales permite comprender la producción actual del arte y de la cultura. Igualmente, la democratización de la naturaleza de las distintas imágenes y sonidos de uso cotidiano generan masivos contenidos audiovisuales de dominio público gracias a la inclusión del ordenador personal a partir de los años ochenta, Internet a principios de los 90, los teléfonos inteligentes desde el año 2010 y los dispositivos de grabación portátil de peso muy ligero como cámaras digitales con tarjeta de memoria que incorporan video. El presente artículo recoge una breve revisión de las manifestaciones cinematográficas y videográficas más representativas, de la mano de las distintas vanguardias del siglo pasado y las tendencias de nuestros días, y establece un necesario debate en torno a la producción de obras artísticas que describen lenguajes audiovisuales alternativos y que, junto con el cine más experimental y de autor, deben seguir describiéndose como expresiones narrativas del lenguaje audiovisual.
Fragmentos del mundo
Authors: Matilla Iglesias Alba
Published: February 2024

Las prácticas audiovisuales experimentales actuales, desde sus inicios, han estado marcadas por el inminente avance tecnológico y una rápida sucesión de medios que han generado un fuerte impacto en la percepción general de las imágenes. De imponerse forzosamente a formar parte de nuestra realidad física y virtual, las imágenes en el arte audiovisual se han visto acompañadas en los últimos años por una creciente importancia del medio, que se comienza a integrar como parte del mensaje, y también por un progresivo interés en el desarrollo del espacio expositivo, introduciendo en él conceptos relacionados con la atmósfera espacial y con compartir experiencias dentro del lugar colectivo que debería ser el arte. Dentro de estas prácticas audiovisuales actuales, prendadas de sentido atmosférico, surge también una problemática relacionada con todos los residuos generados por este frenético progreso tecnológico y, con ellos, una pregunta: ¿qué lugar ocupan los medios antiguos que se han visto reemplazados por tecnologías más rápidas y eficaces?

Entre el llamado 'cine de exposición' y el videoarte, término que se asocia a cierta condición pretérita, parecen hallar su lugar unas formas de videocreación que provisionalmente podemos designar  como 'video de exposición'. En este sentido nos interesa atender al tratamiento de la temporalidad y a la ruptura del flujo normativo que el cine y el audiovisual contemporáneo contemplan a partir de una renovada tendencia a la estaticidad de la imagen. El recurso a la imagen deformada en el flujo temporal por ralentización, estasis o tomas largas contemplativas, establecen prácticas disruptivas que propician lo que Bellour calificó como 'efecto de pensatividad' -y que Barthes o Deleuze ya habían sugerido-.  El texto aborda esta condición reflexiva considerando la dialéctica ocurrida a partir del giro del cine y el video hacia lo fotográfico y que ya fuera precedido de un proceso de audiovisualización de la propia imagen fotográfica. El encuentro entre el videoflujo y la fotografía-flujo configura así un área de tiempo y duración donde acontecen las formas postnarrativas contemporáneas propias del espacio expositivo. El encuentro entre vídeo-flujo y fotografía-flujo configura así un área de tiempo y duración donde acontecen las formas postnarrativas características del espacio expositivo contemporáneo.
“Se servirá ordenar con toda urgencia que sean retirados del campo todos esos elementos rojos”: la lucha antiguerrillera en España y sus efectos en los espacios rurales, 1936-1952
Authors: Fernández Pasalodos Arnau , González Devís Raül
Published: February 2024

A partir de la primera década del siglo XXI los estudios sobre la guerrilla antifranquista experimentaron un auge extraordinario. Estas investigaciones nos presentaron la existencia de una guerra ocultada por la dictadura, y no fueron pocos los trabajos que desde la historia social focalizaron su atención en el papel que jugó el campesinado en el marco de la aparición y el desarrollo de las guerrillas republicanas. La presente investigación se nutre de buena parte de esta bibliografía, pero también de una serie de fuentes de archivo, la mayor parte inéditas, para profundizar en los efectos causados por la lucha antiguerrillera en los espacios rurales entre 1936 y 1952.
La escuela como arquitectura de lo común. Dimensión territorial, política y social del equipamiento escolar
Authors: Eslava Cabanellas Clara , Iruretagoiena Busturia Ula , Errasti Etxeberria Ahinitze
Published: February 2024

La escuela es indisociable de la dimensión de lo común. Su arquitectura acoge espacios donde se construyen experiencias vitales y de aprendizaje del estar en el mundo en relación con los otros, y constituyen, en sí mismos, una arquitectura de vínculos y relaciones entre las personas con potencial para definir la arquitectura de lo común. El histórico diálogo entre arquitectura y pedagogía integra lo comunitario como eje vertebrador que no es compatible con las distintas formas, pretéritas y contemporáneas, de control y aislamiento del individuo del menor. Sin embargo, la sociedad reincide cíclicamente en el aula como unidad de funcionamiento y confinamiento, mientras su digitalización contemporánea contribuye a la segregación de la escuela de su entorno y comunidad. En la presente investigación acudimos a la reformulación del sistema educativo que se produjo de manos de instituciones gubernamentales mundiales en los años setenta, a través del trabajo de Jean Adler y Margrit I. Kennedy, que inscribieron la escuela comunitaria, inacabada y reprogramable en el tiempo, como proyecto político. Para el abordaje de la complejidad de organizaciones humanas, temporales y espaciales que conlleva esta concepción de escuela, se recurrió a la herramienta proyectual y arquitectónica del diagrama para registrar y relacionar los condicionantes territoriales, tanto materiales como humanos. El diagrama incorpora una variabilidad de forma y estructura infinita, abierta a su construcción en comunidad y que además resulta un dispositivo facilitador para el trabajo entre los distintos agentes que están implicados en la co-creación de la escuela comunitaria. Se declara así la construcción de la escuela comunitaria como una arquitectura para un proyecto político que responda a diversas crisis contemporáneas: crisis de los recursos, de los cuidados, de la salud, del aislamiento social, del medio ambiente y de la natalidad.

Published: February 2024

The economy of Ukraine is partially destroyed and poses an energy threat to European countries. The article analyzes trends in the development of consumption in Ukraine, and assesses the prospects for development. Energy Ukraine's system depends on fossil fuels. The government sought to diversify risks and ensure sustainable development. The energy consumption market is characterized by a decline and an increase in the use of gas.

The article develops cases for making decisions on the necessary investments in the energy system of Ukraine after the war. We analyze energy consumption trends and justify the need for investment in the nuclear industry, which occupies a large part of the country's energy consumption. A model for assessing and forecasting the energy consumption market has been developed. The model shows an upward trend in oil and gas consumption. Our approach allows us to quantify the net increase in energy consumption in the future.

This work aimed to evaluate the efficiency of biocontrol agents in controlling green mold (Penicillium digitatum) in 'pera' orange fruits. In vitro experiments were carried out with a fungus isolate grown on BDA medium and tested against different concentrations of commercial products based on biocontrol agents: Trichoderma harzianum (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mL L -1 ), Bacillus subtilis (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mL L -1 ) and B. licheniformis + B. subtilis + T. longibrachiatum (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 g L -1 ) and the fungicide imazalil as standard (2 mL L -1 ). The experiment analyzed mycelial growth and spore germination. Based on the results, in vivo tests were carried out, evaluating the curative and preventive effect of applying biocontrol agents as inoculating with 10 µL of conidial suspension (108 conidia mL-1). All biochemical agents displayed 100% control over mycelial growth and a linear effect to inhibit the germination of P. digitatum. The in vivo tests highlighted that all agents showed a linear effect, both in the curative and preventive effects, significantly reducing the development of green mold (AUDPC) in 'pera' orange fruits. The experiment concludes that the prophylactic application of 25 mL L -1 of T. harzianum, 10 mL L -1 of B. subtilis, and 25 g L -1 of B. licheniformis + B. subtilis + T. longibrachiatum in orange fruits 'pera' control P. digitatum.

INTRODUCTION:

To examine the association between low-dose aspirin use and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).

METHODS:

In this nationwide cohort study, we identified individuals aged 50 years or older residing for 6 months or more in Norway in 2004–2018 and obtained data from national registers on drug prescriptions, cancer occurrence, and sociodemographic factors. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate the association between low-dose aspirin use and CRC risk. In addition, we calculated the number of CRC potentially averted by low-dose aspirin use.

RESULTS:

We included 2,186,390 individuals. During the median follow-up of 10.9 years, 579,196 (26.5%) used low-dose aspirin, and 38,577 (1.8%) were diagnosed with CRC. Current use of aspirin vs never use was associated with lower CRC risk (hazard ratio [HR] 0.87, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.84–0.90). The association was more pronounced for metastatic CRC (HR 0.79; 95% CI 0.74–0.84) than regionally advanced (HR 0.89; 95% CI 0.85–0.92) and localized CRC (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.87–1.00; P heterogeneity = 0.001). A significant trend was found between duration of current use and CRC risk: HR 0.91 (95% CI 0.86–0.95) for <3 years, HR 0.85 (0.80–0.91) for ≥3 and <5 years, and HR 0.84 (0.80–0.88) for ≥5 years of use vs never use (P trend < 0.001). For past use, HR were 0.89 (95% CI 0.84–0.94) for <3 years, 0.90 (0.83–0.99) for ≥3 and <5 years, and 0.98 (0.91–1.06) for ≥5 years since last use vs never use (P-trend < 0.001). We estimated that aspirin use averted 1,073 cases of CRC (95% CI 818–1,338) in the study period.

DISCUSSION:

In this nationwide cohort, use of low-dose aspirin was associated with a lower risk of CRC.

The increasingly rapid development of technology can have both positive and negatif impacts. The positive impact is that the process of disseminating information is getting faster, but the negatif impact is the large amount of hoax information and hate space that occurs on social media due to the absence of filters and checking the validity of the information. This also results in many crimes occurring on social media. One solution to the problem with the many cases that occur due to misuse of social media is to carry out a forensic investigation process on social media. This forensic investigation process is carried out using the live investigation method using a digital forensic process method consisting of Collection, Examination, Analysis and Reporting processes. The process of collecting evidence uses powerful tools so that the investigation process can be carried out directly. The results of this research are by utilizing digital forensic process methods and using hunchly tools to carry out live investigation techniques to collect digital evidence from social media accounts that commit crimes on social media so that it can be processed in accordance with applicable legal regulations.

Neste artigo buscamos identificar as percepções dos professores que ensinam Ciências nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental a respeito de aspectos da sua formação e práticas para o ensino de Ciências neste nível educacional. Foi aplicado um questionário a oito professores abordando aspectos da sua formação inicial, metodologias e abordagens de ensino; planejamento e organização das aulas, bem como dificuldades, dúvidas e desafios de suas práticas em sala de aula para ensinar Ciências. As respostas dos professores foram organizadas e interpretadas seguindo os pressupostos da Análise de Conteúdo. Mediante as análises constatamos 3 categorias: as percepções sobre aspectos da sua formação para ensinar Ciências; aspectos relacionados a organização, planejamento e desenvolvimento das aulas de Ciências e as principais dificuldades e desafios enfrentados pelos professores no exercício da atividade docente. Apesar das dificuldades e barreiras encontradas para ensinar Ciências, a busca por recursos didáticos e estratégias de ensino por parte dos professores mostrou-se potencializadora para fomentar a formação e o desenvolvimento profissional docente.
Acertijo de Cuatro Cubos de Perelman: Calidad de las Representaciones Visuales y Argumentación de Respuestas Verbales
Authors: Slisko Josip , Santana Fajardo Jose Luis , Rodriguez María Elena , Vasquez Mercado Liliana

La solución de acertijos promueve habilidades de pensamiento de orden superior. En este estudio, se empleó el acertijo de los cuatro cubos de Perelman, que propone equilibrar cubos de madera de distintos tamaños. Investigaciones previas que utilizan dicho acertijo indican que las representaciones visuales facilitan las respuestas correctas. Sin embargo, Perelman solamente responde a partir de la igualdad de volúmenes, sin considerar explícitamente conceptos como densidad o peso. Así, este estudio exploró cómo la representación visual se relaciona con la calidad argumentativa de las respuestas verbales y si estas difieren entre el trabajo grupal e individual. Se pidió a 31 estudiantes completar un cuestionario con dos preguntas. La primera exigía un dibujo y una argumentación de la solución propuesta, mientras que la segunda presentaba la solución de Perelman para ser evaluada. Esto permitió medir la disposición de los estudiantes a aceptar ideas ajenas. Tras responder de manera individual, se formaron equipos de cuatro estudiantes para responder nuevamente. Se diseñaron criterios para clasificar los dibujos como pictóricos o esquemáticos y para identificar conceptos físicos en las argumentaciones. Los resultados demostraron que el trabajo grupal impulsó representaciones esquemáticas en las respuestas visuales. Además, se observó una correlación entre argumentaciones de baja calidad y respuestas incorrectas. Este estudio resalta la necesidad de fortalecer la comprensión de conceptos físicos y su aplicación en la resolución de problemas a través de la educación. En última instancia, se destaca la importancia del aprendizaje colaborativo y la instrucción enfocada en la comprensión profunda de los conceptos.

EFL Teacher's Perceptions of Using Flipped Classrooms in Language Teaching for Higher Education
Authors: Alsaedi Buthaynah
Published: February 2024

The Flipped Classroom in higher education language teaching through the eyes of EFL teachers. The advent of technology in education has led to a change in the way conventional ways of pedagogy have been taught, thus raising questions. The study uses qualitative methods including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective narratives, to address different aspects of EFL teachers’ experiences of the flipped classroom approach. Educators are also sampled from different institutions, of different levels of experience, and also with various cultures. The results highlight that EFL instructors’ views and experiences are more contextual. The approach is analyzed with the aim of demonstrating the impact of the approach on the teacher-student relationship, student involvement, as well as the student’s overall experience. In addition, it looks into the implementation issues, showing a way of how an organization or a class may cope with a new teaching philosophy. It also brings out emerging themes such as learner autonomy, technology integration, and a new definition for teachers’ roles in a Flipped Classroom structure. It further examines the cognitive shifts in EFL teachers and the modifications in their teaching methods, evaluation methods, and bespoke learning resources over time. In addition, professional development for teachers and language education programs needs additional support and materials to help them through the complex linguistic environment. The study adds to the literature on innovations in EFL settings, giving policymakers and curriculum developers a basis for improving teaching practice. A detailed examination of the relationship between EFL teachers and the Flipped Classroom model in higher education language teaching is presented in this research. It contributes significantly to the ongoing discussion about the best practices for language education in the digital era by untangling the strands of perceptions, challenges, and adaptations.

Weight‐bearing physical activity can stimulate bone adaptation. This investigation explored the effect of an acute bout of resistance exercise before and after resistance+interval training on circulating biomarkers of bone metabolism and muscle‐bone crosstalk. Healthy young male and female participants (n = 21 male, 28 ± 4 years; n = 17 female, 27 ± 5 years) performed a 6 × 10 squat test (75% 1RM) before and after a 12‐week resistance+interval training program. Before and after completion of the training program, blood samples were collected at rest, immediately postexercise, and 2 h postexercise. Blood samples were analyzed for βCTX, P1NP, sclerostin, osteocalcin, IGF‐1, and irisin. Significant effects of acute exercise (main effect of time) were observed as increases in concentrations of IGF‐1, irisin, osteocalcin, and P1NP from rest to postexercise. A sex*time interaction indicated a greater decline in βCTX concentration from rest to 2 h postexercise and a greater increase in sclerostin concentration from rest to immediately postexercise in male compared with female participants. Sex differences (main effect of sex) were also observed for irisin and P1NP concentrations. In summary, changes in concentrations of biochemical markers of bone metabolism and muscle‐bone crosstalk were observed in males and females after an acute bout of resistance exercise and following 12 weeks of resistance+interval training.
