Authors: Santana Jorge Alves
Published: October 2024

Aspectos autobiográficos, dimensionados de modo estético, serão analisados no filme israelense Kippur (2000), de Amos Gitaï. De sua experiência pessoal no conflito israelopalestino do Yom Kippur, 1973, o diretor construirá uma narrativa sobre os autoritarismos políticos em relação à sua juventude, sempre obrigada a lutar. Gitaï questionará construtos identitários unidimensionais, quando ele nos dispõe sua experiência estética questionadora dos princípios e valores bélicos. Para isso, acompanharemos transformações nas ritualísticas do Yom Kippur, bem como da objeção de consciência para a produção de sujeitos com identificações pacifistas, que sejam capazes de criar novos contextos existenciais.

Crackers are a popular food consumed by Indonesian people as a side dish or as a snack. The quality of crackers is determined by their swelling power, crunchiness, taste and nutritional value. Crackers are generally made from tapioca flour, so the protein component is low. Therefore, this research utilized soy protein isolate which was added to tapioca and rice dough ingredients to increase the protein content of crackers. The aim of the research is to find the best formula for adding soy protein isolate and thick slices to produce crackers that contain high protein. The research method was experimental, the first treatment factor was the addition of soy protein isolate to the tapioca flour and rice mixture. The second factor is the thickness of the cracker slices. The treatment design was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a 4 X 4 factorial pattern which was repeated 3 times. The research results showed that the interaction effect between the use of soy protein isolate in dough with various slice thicknesses resulted in significant differences in the swellability of crackers, frying time and oil absorption capacity. The average sensory properties of crackers added with soy protein isolate were favorable at a slice thickness of 1mm-1.5mm. The conclusion is that the best formula for making crackers made from tapioca flour and rice is to use 5% to 7.5% soy protein isolate, and the thickness of the cracker slices is 1mm – 1.5mm.

Insights from Inside: Addressing mental health, well-being and healthcare needs of young prisoners in Cambodia
Authors: Pat Puthy
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Globally, studies show that young prisoners experience higher rates of mental health disorders and suicidal behaviors than adult prisoners and the general population. In Cambodia, there is a lack of information on the mental health situation of young prisoners and the response of the prison system to that reality. This thesis aimed to explore the mental health, well-being, and healthcare needs of young Cambodian prisoners by examining their mental health status, evaluating life skills interventions, identifying coping mechanisms, and proposing strategies to strengthen the prison health system based on insider perspectives.
Methods: Conducted in four selected prisons, the thesis used both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative studies assessed mental health and evaluated the impact of a Life Skills Education (LSE) intervention. The qualitative approach explored the perspectives of young prisoners and staff regarding mental health, coping mechanisms, and prison healthcare challenges.
Results: The findings revealed high levels of mental health problems but low suicidal behaviors. Younger age, lower education, and drug use were linked to higher ill-mental health. While the LSE intervention improved mental health, the differences with the control group were not statistically significant. Qualitative insights revealed loneliness, lack of family support, and unmet basic needs as young prisoners´ concerns. Staff noted the limited healthcare services available and stressed the need for reforms, including mental health awareness, staff training, and governance improvements.
Conclusion: The thesis highlights high levels of mental health problems among young prisoners in Cambodia and calls for contextualized mental health interventions.

Background: People living with hemophilia A face challenges impacting their daily lives despite treatment innovations. Previous studies have explored perceptions and treatment experiences; however, there is a lack of an evidence-based, comprehensive model to identify concepts (clinical, physical, and psychological functioning) relevant for people with hemophilia A (PwHA).

Objectives: The aim of this qualitative study was to address the question: What is the humanistic and symptomatic experience of adolescents, adults, and children living with hemophilia A and what is the impact of hemophilia A on their quality of life?

Methods: Participants, identified through patient associations in the UK, were male PwHA and caregivers of male PwHA receiving prophylactic treatment. Qualitative research was conducted involving semistructured telephone interviews with PwHA and caregivers between April 2020 and September 2020 in the UK. Standard analytical techniques of conceptual model development were used.

Results: Of 30 participants, 23 were PwHA and 7 were caregivers. A conceptual model was produced describing patient experience of symptoms, physical functioning, treatment experiences, and the impact of symptoms and treatment on daily lives. Participants reported hemophilia-related symptoms, including bleeding, pain, and joint stiffness, as well as difficulties engaging with social and leisure activities. They also reported protection from bleeds provided by their treatment, relief from symptoms, and the resultant sense of normality. Concepts were broadly relevant across all age groups; however, psychological impacts were reported only by adult PwHA, and caregivers reported impacts related to outdoor activities, play, and education. Participants indicated that their ideal treatment would be delivered orally.

Discussion: This study highlights the range of symptoms experienced by PwHA across a broad range of age groups, thus enabling the evaluation of relevant concepts across different stages of life. The research supports development of a conceptual model documenting symptoms, impacts, and treatment experience relevant to PwHA.

Conclusion: Insights gathered through the interviews and resulting conceptual model support development of new therapies to address the physical and social challenges identified by PwHA and highlight a need for novel hemophilia A treatments that can ease treatment administration, provide adequate level of protection, and enable life to be lived normally.

A infertilidade afeta milhões de mulheres e pode ter causas biológicas e ambientais, como desequilíbrios hormonais, doenças e fatores de estilo de vida. Técnicas como a fertilização in vitro (FIV) e a injeção intracitoplasmática de espermatozoides (ICSI) são utilizadas para tratar esses casos. No entanto, mesmo com avanços, as taxas de sucesso ainda são limitadas. A compreensão dos mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na fertilização e os impactos das mutações genéticas têm sido cruciais para o desenvolvimento de tratamentos personalizados e novas tecnologias de contracepção. Este estudo realiza uma revisão sistemática, focando em avanços nas técnicas de fertilização assistida. A personalização dos tratamentos e a identificação de lacunas na literatura são destacadas. Os resultados mostram a necessidade de mais estudos para validar novas técnicas e explorar seu impacto econômico. Dos 200 estudos iniciais, apenas 5 foram incluídos na análise final. O estudo identificou proteínas críticas na fusão de gametas, como IZUMO1 e JUNO, e explorou mutações genéticas associadas à falha de fertilização, destacando o gene PLCZ1. Também foram abordados os efeitos benéficos da melatonina na qualidade dos óvulos e os avanços no uso do software SiD para a seleção de espermatozoides, melhorando as taxas de fertilização e desenvolvimento de blastocistos. Os estudos avançam no entendimento da fertilização e trazem novas ferramentas, como o biomarcador ACTL7A e o software SiD, mas ainda existem lacunas a serem investigadas. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para aprimorar as tecnologias de reprodução assistida e criar métodos anticoncepcionais mais eficazes.
Can I Call you Ma or Prof? Reflexivity, Memory, and Space in African Feminist Research
Authors: Tau Siphokazi
Published: October 2024

In this chapter, I reflect on a question that came to mind, as I started my interview process with African women leaders in South African universities. The question being, “Can I call you Ma or Prof?” was unexpected and allowed me to delve deeper into establishing a better understanding of my participants’ experiences of leadership within the higher education landscape and how they position themselves. Importantly, this question also positioned me within the research itself, the complicated understanding of self as an African who was raised within an African community. With consciousness, “the multiple ways of being black in the world” (Khunou et al. 2020: xvii) in addition to being a student in the current higher education context. I locate this within the understanding of mothering and parenting in the African context as a sociocultural practice (Mkhize 2006; Nathane & Khunou 2021), where an elder or peer of your parent becomes your parent too – uMa/mama. I show in this chapter that our bodies are hosts of memory which carry ways of knowing and registers of engaging with each other that Eurocentric and Western ways of doing research in higher education do not account for. I affirm myself with the knowing that “I am not a researcher doing research, I am a human being doing research” (Mxalisa 2024) and that my being, which is relational, will always remind me of its existence.
Converging Worlds: Exploring Gendered and Pluriversal Possibilities in South African Universities

In this chapter, we critically analyse the current state of Psychology within the South African higher education system, shedding light on the enduring impact of colonial and apartheid-era agendas on the contemporary practice of Psychology. We advocate for a paradigm shift from an exclusive focus on the individual towards a recognition of the systemic influence of apartheid and colonialism on mental well-being. This necessitates formulating a decolonised and Africanised version of Psychology that integrates historical and contextual factors. As scholars and activists, our perspectives as intergenerational Black women in Psychology bring a unique and invaluable dimension to the discourse, emphasising the imperative of transforming the discipline to be more inclusive and relevant within the South African context. We challenge the persisting colonial power dynamics perpetuating inequalities and underscore the significance of acknowledging diverse voices and challenging research hierarchies. Furthermore, we advocate for the potential of community-based engagement research methods in addressing the marginalisation of Black women. By advocating for transparent, inclusive, and participatory research approaches, we aim to contribute to the ongoing critical discourse.
Why are we Here? Challenging Agents of Revolutions through Independent Transformation

Published: October 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) simply informs us that humans can no longer trust each other, let alone trust themselves, and that we feel better immersing ourselves and trusting machines, robotics, simulated automation, etc. In the context of seeking appropriate analytical modes of understanding in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), the saying that motho ke motho ka batho is re-imagined, meaning you are human because of other people’s humanness to you. If motho ke motho ka batho can machines that are tasked to do what human beings can do also become machinery because of other robust robotic machines? The search for answers also guards against contestations that warn against the existence of superstitious thinking to embrace evidence-led scientific thinking. However, in applying what may commonly be assumed as superstitious thinking when Credo Mutwa warned against the French and Russian industrial revolutions on actions that would propel Africans to adapt to foreign ways of living, we learn and observe as this chapter affirms that the perceived superstitious thinking was Mutwa’s African scientific thinking which is evidenced today. ‘We’ is used here provocatively to denote in plurality the ancestors or those who walk with someone. It is fundamentally used in the realm and unity of considering that the AI algorithms are also categorised as a “set of rules that instruct a computer to execute specific tasks”.

Biochar, one of the co products of pyrolysis unit , is a potential soil amendment that sequestrates large amount of carbon which helps in increasing the soil fertility. And also application of biochar to t he soil reduces compaction, increase water holding capacity, nutrient availability, enhance biological activity, increase crop yields and reduce nitrous oxide emissions. In this research, bhendi and brinjal stalks are used to produce biochar by using pyrolysis. The nutritive content in biochar is analysed by proximate and ultimate analysis. As the result of proximate analysis, the nutritive contents such as moisture content, ash content, fixed carbon and volatile matter has recorded higher in bhendi stalks whereas in ultimate analysis such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and sulfur, brinjal stalks has recorded a higher value. As the result, applications of biochars of bhendi stalks and brinjal stalks will improves the soil nutritive content than the biomass application
