Le travail politique des elus locaux face au developpement éolien
Authors: Patinaux Leny
Published: December 2022

Depuis 2010, les collectivités territoriales sont chargées d’orchestrer la mise en œuvre de la transition énergétique. Pourtant, les maires des communes rurales où les éoliennes sont implantées n’ont pas de pouvoir formel de décision sur ces installations. Ils ne restent toutefois pas inactifs. Certains se joignent aux mobilisations contre les éoliennes quand d’autres poussent les collectivités dont ils sont élus à y investir économiquement. Ainsi, en étudiant le travail politique de ces élus locaux, cet article met en évidence les effets locaux d’une marginalisation structurelle du pouvoir local dans les politiques publiques de transition énergétique.
La furia de don Quijote y los gestos de la violencia entre retórica y teoría artística
Authors: Pineda Victoria
Published: December 2022

Este artículo pretende ilustrar un punto de vista poco usual en los estudios sobre el “realismo” cervantino, que es el que considera los gestos como parte fundamental de esa escritura realista. El trabajo sostiene que no se trata de gestos “naturales”, sino codificados dentro del sistema cultural de la época. Para mostrarlo, se examina el lenguaje gestual de los personajes de Don Quijote como manifestación de los movimientos del ánimo y se atiende concretamente a los gestos de la violencia. La investigación integra conceptos provenientes de la teoría retórica (evidentia, affectio) combinándolos con los de las principales teorías artísticas del período (y en concreto el tratado sobre pintura de Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo). Se aspira asimismo a formular un modelo metodológico de investigación comparatista que pone frente a frente dos lenguajes teóricos: el retórico y el pictórico, con los que se examinan aspectos de la obra de Cervantes –más conocidos o menos conocidos: la violencia, los gestos– desde esa óptica novedosa.
Cautivas y renegadas: un caso sucedido a finales del siglo XVI y su posible influencia en la redacción de la «Historia del cautivo» inserta en el Quijote de Cervantes
Authors: Sánchez-Pérez María
Published: December 2022

A partir de dos relaciones de sucesos sobre cautivos y renegados publicadas en pliegos sueltos poéticos a finales del siglo XVI –cuya autoría se atribuye a Jerónimo Castro y Francisco Pardo respectivamente– intentamos demostrar que, frente a otras narraciones similares de la época –de cuya autenticidad puede dudarse–, en este caso nos encontramos ante el registro de unos hechos que debieron ocurrir realmente, siguiendo el testimonio de un religioso de la época llamado Jerónimo de Sepúlveda y apodado «el Tuerto», del Real Convento de El Escorial. Además, intentaremos demostrar que, probablemente, estos sucesos pudieron influir en la redacción de la denominada «Historia del cautivo», inserta en el Quijote de Cervantes.
El guitarrista y El curioso impertinente. Luis Landero a la luz de Cervantes
Authors: Sánchez Sempere Irene
Published: December 2022

Partiendo de la hipótesis de la actualidad de las ficciones cervantinas en la literatura del siglo XXI, llevamos a cabo un análisis intertextual entre El curioso impertinente y El guitarrista, de Luis Landero. El tema de la burla nos permite trazar un recorrido histórico a través de la tradición literaria europea, en el que abordamos motivos como los dos amigos, el viejo y la niña o la prueba de la virtud. Ambos autores asimilan y renuevan con insólita originalidad la herencia literaria. El estudio de las influencias desde una perspectiva bidireccional ilumina el significado de la obra landeriana y descubre resonancias nuevas en la cervantina. La comparación de motivos y técnicas literarias en los dos autores justifica la reputación de Landero como uno de los escritores actuales más cervantinos.
«Ella es sola la que con tan honesta intención vive»: Marcela entre feminismo y misticismo
Authors: Scamuzzi Iole
Published: December 2022

Tras un breve recorrido acerca de la crítica feminista sobre Marcela, se aceptan algunas de sus propuestas. Marcela efectivamente revindica su derecho de palabra en un mundo masculino, y acaba interpretando el papel, tradicionalmente reservado a los hombres, de maestra de amor en continuidad con los tratados neoplatónicos y el género pastoril (Galatea). Sin embargo, el discurso aparentemente libertario de la pastora vuelve a lo divino los instrumentos retóricos neoplatónicos mediante el diálogo intertextual con el discurso místico teresiano. Por lo tanto, Marcela se configura como un alma filósofa que rechaza las formas terrenales del amor para acceder a su morada final: el conocimiento de Dios.
Classification of Learning Sentiments of College Students Based on Topic Discussion Texts of Online Learning Platforms
Authors: Niu Mingzhe
Published: December 2022

Depicting the online learning process of student users from multiple angles can help implement deep learning and effectively improve their online learning quality, and it’s a practical and very meaningful work to mine the data burying in the topic discussion texts of online learning platforms so that useful information could be extracted and attained to help teachers better understand students’ learning sentiments and assist students to know of the learning status of their peers. However, in existing conventional sentiment analysis methods, the sample data with uncategorized tags are still labelled manually, and such work is usually time consuming and inefficient. In view of these defects, this paper aims to study the classification of college students’ learning sentiments based on the topic discussion texts of online learning platforms. In the beginning, this paper gave the overall structure of the proposed college student Learning Sentiment Classification (LSC) algorithm, and discussed the similarity between the topic discussion content and the teaching content. Then, this paper proposed to integrate Convolution Neural Network (CNN) with the Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) network to build the said LSC model, so as to merge the advantages of the two and improve the accuracy of learning sentiment rating. After that, embedding layers of static words and non-static words were introduced into the proposed model for the purpose of realizing the mining of specific textual information while enhancing the semantic expression ability of the words. At last, experimental results verified the effectiveness of the proposed model.
Influences of Artificial Intelligence in Education on Teaching Effectiveness
Authors: Lin Hualiang
Published: December 2022

The continuous development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology greatly support education reform and profoundly influence the learning styles of learners. Artificial intelligence in education (AIED) can help teachers recognize teaching tasks explicitly and teach content accurately. Moreover, AIED can help students change the traditional learning styles according to their differences, thereby realizing intelligent teaching and meeting the learning needs of students. A good teachers’ perception of educational technology (ET) is beneficial for using AI technology to positively assist all teaching links, which in turn improves teaching effectiveness. In this study, five hypotheses concerning the influences of AIED on teaching effectiveness were verified. The teachers’ perception of ET was introduced as a mediating variable, and the mediating effect of AIED on the improvement of teaching effectiveness was analyzed. The influences of AI using the period of learners on teaching effectiveness were estimated. Results showed that the overall Cronbach α and Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin of the designed questionnaire were 0.907 and 0.878, respectively. Moreover, the χ2 of Bartlett’s test of sphericity reached the 0.01 significance level, indicating the considerable good reliability and validity of the questionnaire. All four aspects, namely, AI-assisted teaching, exercise, exam, and assessment, had significantly positive influences on teaching effectiveness. The teachers’ perceptions of ET played a partial mediating effect for AIED on the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Samples with different AI-using periods had significant influences on teaching (p < 0.01). Research conclusions can provide important references to teachers for making scientific use of AIED and propose more accurate teaching strategies according to the learning states of learners.

Authors: Ariani Dessy Noor , Sumantri Mohamad Syarif , Wibowo Firmanul Catur
Published: December 2022

This research uses the Android module based on a strategy called "inquiry-based learning" and "flipped classroom" to help people utilize their cross-disciplinary skills in complex real-world situations. This experiment showed how the Android module-based inquiry flipped classroom learning affects math pre-service teachers' ability to solve mathematical problems and think creatively in geometry. In the third term, 123 students were randomly assigned Android module-based inquiry flipped classroom learning, PowerPoint module-based conventional flipped learning, or conventional learning. The study found that math pre-service teachers were much better at solving mathematics problems and creative thinking when using Android module-based inquiry flipped classroom learning because its use effectively extends learning time, permits the acquisition of more knowledge, and encourages a collective responsibility for learning in order to engage in the process of deeper learning. This type of learning also helps them learn how to deal with real-world problems that they may face in their future jobs. This implication can guide instructional designers on how to help students solve math problems and think creatively.

DAYLIGHT, HUMAN HEALTH, AND DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE GREEN BUILDINGS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Lee Jaewook , Boubekri Mohamed , Park Jiyoung
Published: December 2022

As the importance of building indoor environments has increased recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so has the research on the interrelationship among daylight, human health, and building design. More researchers are studying how daylight affects human health and whether currently known daylighting metrics target human health in addition to building environmental performance. This article provides an updated review of the current review of the literature in the field of daylighting design and human health, particularly as it relates to the impact of daylighting on circadian rhythm, sleep quality and performance. The main objective for this study is to analyze the interrelationships between daylight, health, and design. The review of these articles reveals eight different factors relevant to daylight, in terms of the way daylight impacts people’s health, namely light spectrum, light levels, timing and duration of exposure to light. In terms of health impact, these articles outline direct and indirect health outcomes. In addition, our review of the existing literature indicates that there is a lack of proper daylighting metrics as far as design applications.
SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGS: EVOLUTION BEYOND BUILDING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT METHODS
Authors: Weerasinghe U.G.D.
Published: December 2022

The publication of the Brundtland Commission Report, popularly known as Our Common Future, was the precursor for what was to follow in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development or the Earth Summit. Both these events played a fundamental role in the global initiatives towards sustainability. The adoption of Agenda 21, a blueprint for sustainable development for the 21st century was a crucial agreement of the Rio Summit, which marked the beginning of an era where the term Sustainable Development came to be associated with all human interventions on planet earth.

In this context, the building industry, which makes a significant impact on the social, environmental and economic well-being of the society, has a prime responsibility in meeting with sustainability requirements in all facets of the design, construction and operation of buildings. Currently efforts are being made by the building industry and the allied professions to adhere to sustainability norms by enhancing the current green building practices. The emergence of building environmental assessment (BEA) methods is such an attempt in addressing these issues, but is considered as insufficient to contend with the wider spectrum of sustainability.

A technique to address complex attributes of sustainable performance of building projects has not been attempted before, owing to the dynamic nature of the concept of sustainability. This paper attempts to develop a framework to enhance current BEA methods, as the next stage of development towards meeting global sustainability initiatives. The main objective is to evolve a set of indicators that will assist in determining sustainability of a building. Three widely used BEA methods and Agenda 21, are analyzed, along with a focus group, to derive sustainability indicators. A total of 62 indicators under 10 categories are identified, some of which are common to BEA methods, while several new indicators are introduced to address sustainability issues not previously accounted for in BEA methods. The final outcome is a framework that can be used to determine the extent of sustainability of building projects.

With the aid of the proposed framework of indicators, it is possible to develop a complete sustainability index by allocating values to each indicator, through a survey of professionals in the building industry. Such an index could be used as a tool in developing sustainable buildings, thus meeting with aspirations of building design teams and clientele who seek high quality sustainable solutions for their endeavours. This effort would also pave way for further research into the domain of building sustainability.
OVERVIEW OF GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES ON GREEN BUILDING IN SINGAPORE
Authors: Li Yuanyuan , Liu Zhaoning , Li Congcong
Published: December 2022

Green building is a promising solution for reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings. Government involvement is the driver to overcoming obstacles and the rapid development of green buildings. However, reviews are unavailable on green building-related strategies and policies adopted by the government at a national level. To fill this gap, this paper first gives an up-to-date summary of the overall development status of green building projects in Singapore, which is considered an active pioneer for the green building industry. Then, the policy instruments adopted by the government were reviewed systematically. The results reveal that the Singapore government launched a wide variety of green building policies in different stages of green building development. Furthermore, developing a scientific and reliable rating tool is a fundamental strategy for green building. At present, inadequate green building-related regulatory systems are still the main obstacles to the implementation of green building in many nations. In this regard, this paper will provide a valuable reference for policymakers to develop effective and efficient strategies for promoting green building.
BUILDING FROM PRINCIPLES: PRINCIPLE-BASED RESPONSIVE REGULATION IN BUILDING PERFORMANCE TARGETS
Authors: Graham Peter , Yogaratnam Jeswynn , Taheri Mehdi , Adidharma Kadek
Published: December 2022

A dynamic approach to mandatory building standards is a principle-based approach. This approach complements rule-based standards for buildings and takes into consideration the principles behind building regulatory reform such as sustainability, building life-cycle and their social and economic co-benefits. This paper highlights how a principle-based approach can potentially address the engagement mechanisms with building stakeholders in one performance scheme. Instead of setting a one-time high-performance building target, principle-based targets are consecutively set by Principle-based Responsive Regulation that encourages adaptation through public policy consultations, incentives and disincentives, as well as enforcement mechanisms, working in unison to lower building-sector carbon emissions. This can be encouraged and enforced through responsive pyramids, giving stakeholders of the sector flexibility in selecting adaptation strategies to meet building performance targets. The discussions in this paper are limited to examining the potential application of principle-based responsive regulation approaches to the building sector.
“A la sombra de tal misterio”: el Informe Piedra Buena al gobierno argentino de los recursos costeros de la Patagonia atlántica (1865)

las pesquerías del litoral atlántico a la Oficina de Estadística
Nacional a partir del informe del marino Luis Piedra Buena, invocando
un “misterio” que refería a las dificultades de fiscalización. Se
presentan en este artículo las claves de ese documento cotejadas con
otras fuentes contemporáneas sobre pesquerías, explotación de
mamíferos marinos y guano. Se historia la economía extractiva de la
Patagonia como región conectada al proceso global de expansión del

las autoridades de Carmen de Patagones conocían y participaban en los
negocios de las embarcaciones extranjeras aunque no dejaran beneficios
fiscales, 2) las colonias loberas de 1865 se localizan actualmente en
los mismos puntos del litoral patagónico atlántico, 3) Piedra Buena

Revealing the New Type of Urban Displaced People through the Lens of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Neglected Vulnerable Groups during Lockdown
Authors: Cheshmehzangi Ali , Zou Tong
Published: December 2022

In China, there are no homeless people or displaced people on the streets as the government has made great efforts to rehabilitate them in hospices since 2003. This process is part of implementing the National Standards and Measures for Rescuing Urban Vagrants, Beggars, and Displaced People. However, due to the siphoning effect of megacities, people from less developed and/or rural areas are attracted to look for jobs and new opportunities in urban areas. In this process, they become temporary residents as migrant workers or known as the floating population of cities. Living in the “village-in-cities” or “ViCs” and/or group-oriented leasing from sub-landlords have become their only choice due to low earnings and high rental costs. Such living conditions lead to further challenges and implications, such as lack of access to some primary services. During the COVID-19 pandemic and at the time of lockdowns imposed in some cities, temporary residents of larger cities faced difficulties in receiving the support that was needed for all urban residents. Their temporary urban resident status means they have limitations compared to the regular urban residents. This study explores a case study and reflects on the challenges faced by the new type of urban displaced people through the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlight the vulnerability of such populations with multiple impacts on their jobs, social life, access, receiving services, and mobility.

Published: December 2022

Background: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital disorder characterized by chronic respiratory morbidity. To date, there is no information on PCD-specific preference-based quality of life measures such as health utilities (HU). We cross-sectionally assessed HU in adult PCD patients and explored relationships with genotype, phenotype and quality of life (QOL)-PCD scales.Methods: Diagnostic testing was performed according to international guidelines, while participants completed the visual analog scale (VAS), time trade off (TTO), standard gamble (SG), and EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ5D) HU instruments, as well as the QOL-PCD questionnaire. Hierarchical regression was used to identify the QOL-PCD scales that are most predictive of HU.Results: Among 31 patients, median HU are 0.75 (VAS), 0.86 (EQ5D), 0.91 (TTO) and 0.99 (SG). The underlying genotype is not associated with HU measures. VAS and EQ5D are associated with lung function, while TTO and SG values are not sensitive to any of the examined factors. Among the QOL-PCD scales, physical functioning and lower respiratory symptoms explained much of VAS (R2= 0.419) and EQ5D (R2= 0.538) variability.Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that HU elicitation in PCD is feasible using both direct and indirect methods. Overall, HU scores are relatively high among adult patients, with higher scores observed in SG and TTO, followed by EQ5D and VAS. VAS and EQ5D HU values are sensitive to lung function as well as to QOL-PCD physical functioning and lower respiratory symptom scores.
Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program activities in the lower Paleozoic Franklinian succession in the Canadian Arctic Islands
Authors: Dewing K , Hadlari T
Published: December 2022

The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program addressed four questions related to the lower Paleozoic succession of the Arctic Islands that were identified as key deficiencies in regional geological knowledge: 1) geochemical and geological data were not fully
digital or available; 2) there were gaps in information on petroleum systems; 3) there was no geological map for the northwestern part of Victoria Island; and 4) the geological history of the Pearya composite terrane on northern Ellesmere Island was unclear. These gaps were addressed by 1) the
publication of 17 open files that make geological and geochemical data sets publicly available; 2) studies on source rock, thermal maturity, and oil-source correlation; 3) the production of a geological map for northwestern Victoria Island; and 4) a series of geological, geochemical, and
geochronological studies that support a geological model in which the southeastern structural slice of Pearya was a fragment of ancient North America that rifted and returned, rather than a far-travelled continental fragment.
Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program: activities in the Sverdrup Basin, Canadian Arctic Islands
Authors: Hadlari T
Published: December 2022

Advancements in the establishment of the geological framework of the Sverdrup Basin resulting from the Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program can be grouped under the main topics of tectonostratigraphy, crosslinking of biostratigraphy and chronostratigraphy,
integration of igneous records with newly refined stratigraphy, and effects of global climatic environments on hydrocarbon source rocks in geological time. New discoveries of volcanic ash beds throughout much of the Triassic stratigraphic section required new tectonic interpretations involving a
magmatic arc northwest of the basin that was likely involved in the opening of the Amerasia Basin. Modern approaches to biostratigraphy calibrated by radiometric age dating of volcanic ash beds made global correlations to chronostratigraphic frameworks and tectonic models possible. Correlation of
the stratigraphy and recent geochronology of the High Arctic large igneous province (HALIP) places the main pulse of mafic magmatism in a postrift setting. Finally, the depositional setting of source rocks in the Sverdrup Basin is explained in terms of oceanographic factors that are related to the
global environment. All of these advancements, including hints of undefined and relatively young structural events, lead to the conclusion that the hydrocarbon potential of the Sverdrup Basin has not been fully tested by historical exploration drilling.

As part of its Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals program, the Geological Survey of Canada included the Hudson Bay Basin in its research portfolio with the goal of generating a modern understanding of its geological framework and a precise knowledge of its
hydrocarbon systems. The Hudson Bay-Foxe Basins GEM-1 project led to the proposal of modern stratigraphic frameworks and produced extensive geochemical data on hydrocarbon source rocks as well as data on diverse burial-thermal indicators. Satellite data were acquired over the entire offshore domain
in the search for evidence for active hydrocarbon systems. For the Hudson-Ungava GEM-2 project, the aim of the research activities was to better understand local and regional factors associated with the burial and exhumation histories as they pertain to regional or local hydrocarbon prospectivity.
This research led to a basin-scale stratigraphic framework coupled with detailed analyses of hydrocarbon generation and the appraisal of the best potential reservoir units.
Devonian conodont biostratigraphy of the Mackenzie Mountains, western part of the Northwest Territories
Authors: Gouwy S A
Published: December 2022

In this paper, a review of the current understanding of Devonian conodont biostratigraphy in the Mackenzie Mountains in the Northwest Territories is presented. The Devonian stratigraphy of the northern and southern Mackenzie Mountains is presented on two
chronostratigraphic charts, from the first deposits on top of the sub-Devonian unconformity to the lower part of the Imperial and Fort Simpson formations. Schematic maps give an overview of the regional distribution of the formations in the Mackenzie Mountains. This update revealed that several of
the assemblage and formation contacts are younger than presumed in an earlier time-stratigraphic chart; several formations and members are now better constrained in the updated charts. The update also pointed out intervals in the charts for which no data were available and for which more research is
needed to constrain formations in the Devonian conodont biozonation.

The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program (2010-2020) provided a unique opportunity to advance the current level of understanding of the geological history of the Canadian North. In this contribution, based on the Trans-GEM Event Stratigraphy
activity, a compilation of Mesozoic-Cenozoic stratigraphic data from across the GEM program regions and beyond is presented, with a focus on biostratigraphic events, using TimeScale Creator, a JAVA package that facilitates the compilation and comparison of large amounts of stratigraphic data while
keeping track of changing absolute ages. The '2020 Canada datapack', which incorporates some information re-evaluated and refined from an earlier datapack, includes schemes using dinoflagellate cysts, spores and pollen, foraminifers and conodonts, and a new synthesis of Canadian Arctic Jurassic
ammonite and Buchia bivalve biostratigraphy. This datapack will continue to be augmented after completion of the GEM program and will become a major tool in supporting an understanding of Canada's sedimentary basins, their resource potential and management.
Exhuming the Canadian Shield: preliminary interpretations from low-temperature thermochronology and significance for the sedimentary succession of the Hudson Bay Basin
Authors: McDannell K T , Pinet N , Issler D R
Published: December 2022

The geological history of the Canadian Shield is difficult to constrain because the sedimentary record is missing in those areas where Precambrian basement is exposed at the surface. This study presents preliminary results and interpretations of new apatite
fission-track (AFT) analyses to elucidate the low-temperature (<120°C) history across Canada. The AFT modelling of samples from Southampton Island, in Nunavut, indicates that maximum temperatures varied between 62°C and 93°C during the Phanerozoic. Maximum burial occurred
in the Devonian, but a second phase of Mesozoic burial is proposed, especially in the case for the sample recovered closest to the northern island-bounding normal faults. The AFT modelling of a sample from northern Ontario indicates that a maximum burial temperature of approximately 75°C was
reached during the Late Devonian. Overall, these results demonstrate that the Hudson Bay sedimentary succession is the remnant of a more extensive and thicker sedimentary cover than is preserved. This study also provides the opportunity to discuss innovative methodology and modelling approaches for
low-temperature thermochronology.

The Geo-mapping for Energy and Minerals (GEM) program (2008-2020) of the Geological Survey of Canada made important contributions to the understanding of northern sedimentary basins in the Canadian Arctic Islands, Hudson Bay, and the mainland Northwest
Territories. The goal of the program was to advance the geological understanding of the Canadian north, which the exploration industry and northern communities could then use for decision-making related to exploration and development. The most important advances are outlined in the papers in this
volume and summarized in this introductory paper. In each area, improvements in the stratigraphic understanding gained through fieldwork help researchers decipher paleoenvironments, thickness variations, timing of nondeposition, and timing of erosion. These in turn allow for improved understanding
of the tectonic history of each area. GEM projects produced a vast array of products, from geological and geophysical maps and geochemical data to peer-reviewed scientific papers. Reference to the most important of these products is made in the individual papers.

Authors: Rattu Ramesh Kumar , Kumar Manoj , Sekhri Kavita , Chaudhary Ankit
Published: December 2022

Introduction:

Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) worker is a significant frontline health worker that acts as a link between community and health services and helps delivering quality health services to vulnerable section of the society. The present study was conducted with an objective to explore the duties and responsibilities of the ASHA worker along with obstacles faced by them while discharging their duties.

Methods:

It was a cross-sectional study including 150 ASHA workers of a health block in Himachal Pradesh. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire consisting of six subsections dedicated to different dimensions related to ASHA workers.

Results:

Majority of ASHAs stated that their job had a positive effect on their social relationships, confidence as well as their physical and mental health. About two-thirds workers failed to fulfill targets due to many activities running simultaneously. About 43.3% felt mental stress during the job and 20.7% workers experienced harassment by hospital staff. About 40% stated that they had received unsatisfactory training. Toilet facility was available for only 59.3% workers and safe drinking water for 64.7% ASHAs. Only 4.7% of ASHAs were satisfied with their monthly income.

Conclusion:

While ASHAs are working with dedication in the field, still they are experiencing many problems associated with their personal life, community norms, terrain of the workplace, transportation, and organizational issues. The study recommends few amendments as ASHAs being an integral part of Indian health system must be given their due consideration so that the vision of universal health coverage and sustained development can be attained effectively.
Lock to Unlock
Authors: Mageshwari Murugan , Vinodrao Abhijit Boratne
Published: December 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic forced for first lockdown in India in March 2020. Resurgence of COVID-19 cases has forced many states in India to reintroduce the movement restrictions in March 2021. With four times increase in number of cases, many hospitals are swamped with patients, shortage of doctors and healthcare workers, shortage of personal protective equipment (PPEs), medications, and oxygen. The second wave led to out of pocket expenditures, hike in health care budget, burnouts among the health care workers (HCWs), migration, and hampered education system. The crisis was due to insufficient oxygen and beds, repeated changes in the treatment protocol and testing strategies, violence against HCWs and front line workers (FLWs), vaccination hesitancy to vaccination shortage, and increased morbidity to mortality. The quarantine and isolation of HCWs and FLWs become difficult due to the insufficient workforce. This formed as an opportunity leading to public–private partnership for patient care and successful vaccination. The pandemic brought the concept of advanced technologies and inventions such as use of Robotics, Apps such as Arogyasetu and CoWin, Ventilators, and O2 plants (O2 concentrator), and self-testing kits (COVISELF). Apart from the COVID appropriate behaviors, mass vaccination and newly approved treatments, the policymakers can stabilize the country with helping hand from industries, development of workforce, adequate production, and supply of medicines-vaccine and PPEs to rejuvenate the healthcare industry at the earliest.

A Revisiting of the Dating of Hodayot Manuscripts: A Stylistic Paleographic Analysis
Authors: Chia Philip Suciadi , Lontoh Frederich Oscar Lambertus
Published: December 2022

In 2021, Drew Longacre applied a stylistic paleographic analysis to thirty-five Dead Sea scrolls to propose conventional usage registers for different types and levels of scripts. His article has been published by Vetus Testamentum. Longacre’s research, however, has not included hodayot manuscripts. Hodayot manuscripts are the collection of approximately thirty thanksgiving psalms to the Lord. Since the opening phrase of these manuscripts is blessing the Lord, Sukenik names them as hodayot or thanksgiving Psalms in Hebrew. Hodayot, in Hebrew connotes thanksgiving Psalms, Hodayot is a significant resource for understanding the piousness and religious devotion of those who composed and then recited them. The importance of hodayot manuscripts is thus significant to help us to comprehend the devotion and religious reverence of the community in a particular context and culture. This article attempts to apply a stylistic paleographic analysis to hodayot manuscripts in order to revisit the dating of these manuscripts such as 1QHa, 1QHb, 4QHa (4Q427), 4QHb (4Q428), 4QHc (4Q429), 4QHd (4Q430), 4QHe (4Q431), and 4QpapHf (4Q432). This research is a combination of the text of Dead Sea scrolls (Hodayot) with a stylistic paleographic analysis.

Transcarpathia in Ukrainian-Hungarian Relations 1991-2022
Authors: Kryvets Andri , Szokodi Bettina
Published: December 2022

The relevance of the research lies in the fact that in the conditions of the modern stage, cooperation and relations between Ukraine and Hungary are tense. This is related to the pro-Russian position of Hungarian politicians, which arose after the appearance of the conflict in Donbas in 2014. Additionally, Hungarians defend their position regarding the level of protection and support of their minorities on the territory of Ukraine. It is reasonable to believe that Hungary is blocking Ukraine's path to European integration through open conflicts. The purpose of the article is the study of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations in the period 1991-2022, as well as the resolution of the conflict regarding Transcarpathia to stabilize relations between the countries. The methods used in the work include the historical method, based on which the dynamics of the development of relations between countries were studied; the statistical method, which consists in studying the demography of Transcarpathia; a comparative method based on which the consequences of the influence of relations on Ukraine's integration into Europe were considered. The results of the study determined that the improvement of relations between the countries can take place through the provision of simplified conditions for obtaining Hungarian citizenship for Hungarians from other countries, as well as the promotion of the development of cross-border infrastructure in Transcarpathia to provide new opportunities for the population, which will be an impetus for development in the political and cultural aspect, as well as the termination of cooperation between Ukraine and Hungary. The found ways of resolving conflicts between the countries will be an incentive for the development of both states: Ukraine will be able to continue its integration into Europe and establish favorable conditions for cooperation with Hungary; Hungary will be able to improve its relations with neighboring countries and stabilize the political aspect of these relations. The practical value of the research lies in the use of scientific material and its results to create a unified strategy for the establishment of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations, as well as the continuation of the integration movement of Ukraine into Europe
MiRNA-23a-5p is the biomarkers for gouty arthritis and promotes inflammation in rats of gouty arthritis via MyD88/NF-κB pathway by induction TLR2
Authors: Li Fang , Yao Jian-Hua , Li Li , Nie Qian , Cao Jing-Jing , Ning Xiao-Ran
Published: December 2022

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to examine the efficacy of micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA)-23a-5p in gouty arthritis and to investigate its possible mechanism.

Materials and methods: Gouty arthritis in rat was established by intraarticular injection of 0.2 mL monosodium urate crystal (20 mg/mL) inside knee joint cavity. THP-1 cell was induced using lipopolysaccharides (LPS) for in vitro model.

Results: Serum miRNA-23a-5p expression levels were increased in rats of gouty arthritis. However, overexpression of miRNA-23a-5p promoted inflammation and induced myeloid differential protein-88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway by induction toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) in vitro. The inhibition of TLR2 attenuated the pro-inflammation effects of miRNA-23a-5p in inflammation in in vitro model of gouty arthritis.

Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that miRNA-23a-5p is a biomarker for gouty arthritis and promotes inflammation in rats of gouty arthritis via MyD88/NF-κB pathway by targeting TLR2.
Perverse, Anthropocentrism, and Posthumanism in Two of Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories
Authors: Wang Quan
Published: December 2022

Industrialization revolutionizes human life and engenders anthropocentrism. Edgar Allan Poe ruminates on the repercussions of anthropocentrism in his stories and speculates about a posthumanist world. “The Imp of the Perverse” challenges the prevailing standard of reason and compels us to discover the underlying world that brings current situations into existence and legitimizes perverse phenomena. The three examples of the perverse, namely, circumlocution, procrastination, and abyss obsession, outline the latent coordinates of human identity: species, time, and space. The fourth instance recapitulates the three coordinates and features underdeveloped aspects. The abrupt ending of the story (“but where?”) plunges readers into textual instability. “MS. Found in a Bottle” continues the journey of the suspended plunge: anthropocentric departure, disoriented temporality, multidimensional space. The juxtaposition of these two stories illuminates Poe’s reflections on anthropocentric hubris and posthumanist speculation.
Linguistic and Ontological Concept Formation: The LION Method
Authors: Goldkuhl Göran
Published: December 2022

Concept formation is a demanding task in social research. A methodological approach (called LION) is presented that emphasizes the clarification of concepts based on linguistic and ontological views. This method originates from a qualitative-pragmatist tradition of studies of work-practices in organizational settings and it is explicitly based on the linguistic turn and the practice turn in social research. It is also based on the articulation of seven conceptualization maxims. Its aim is to bring rigor to the conceptualizing process and clarity to resulting conceptualizations. The method is illustrated through an analysis example from service management. The concepts of “value-in-use” and “value generation” are critically analyzed using linguistically and ontologically oriented questions. The application of the LION method in qualitative research is discussed concerning research question formulation, collection, and analysis of data, review of extant theory, and final articulation of theoretical contribution.
Calcifying Aponeurotic Fibroma in the left pectoral region in an adult: A Case report.
Authors: Patel Dr. Dhananjay , Kachewar Dr. Sushil
Published: December 2022

Calcified aponeurotic fibroma is a rare benign fibroblastic tumor. The lesion has property of local invasion and high recurrence. Because of this property, tumor should be accurately diagnosed pre-operatively. We report a case of 29 years old male, with a palpable painful mass on the anterior chest wall near left pectoral region, describes radiographic and MR findings. No skin defect was detected but patient feels discomfort. An excision procedure was done. The excised tissue was sent for biopsy and calcified aponeurotic fibroma was diagnosed.
