Authors: Khechuashvili Lili , Kimosteli Ketevan , Mestvirishvili Maia , Martskvishvili Khatuna
Published: January 2025

The study aimed to explore the processes of positive psychological changes and the underlying factors following an extremely stressful life event – spinal cord trauma – in the life stories of 15 socially active individuals who use the wheelchair. The data were collected using life story interviews. The qualitative part of the study involved thematic and structural analysis of narratives, while for the quantitative analysis, each interview transcript was recoded and processed for target variables such as autobiographical reasoning, narrative structure and consistency, and psychological well-being. The analysis of the results revealed that the more consistently and rich in autobiographical reflection individuals narrate their life stories, the more psychological well-being indicators emerge in their accounts. Additionally, during the process of post-traumatic rehabilitation/resocialization and re-adaptation, they have to reconstruct their own identity, reassess their self-image, body – image, values, and relationships with others, as well as their broader environment and perceive it from a different perspective. The personal narratives of study participants were saturated with the themes of discontinued lives, disturbed body image and attitudes towards wheelchair use, self-reconstruction and adaptation, motivators and resources, finding a place in life, and returning as full members of society.
STIGMA – GASLIGHTING SEMANTICS: LANGUAGE, MANIPULATION AND CULTURAL STEREOTYPES IN GEORGIA
Authors: Purtseladze Valeria
Published: January 2025

The present article concerns the issues of linguistic semantics in the context of gaslighting mobilized through the cultural stereotypes widely accepted in Georgia. Empirical material was obtained from the students of Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University (Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences). The theoretical framework of the study is linguistic semantics, in particular, Leech’s theory of meaning. The value of the study is in its focus on the unconscious form of gaslighting which is widespread in different social contexts. Despite the growing interest in mental health and psychological manipulation, the fact that unconscious gaslighting, which often remains unnoticed, is no less harmful than conscious, preplanned manipulation, is often neglected.
The study shows that most respondents had personally experienced a negative influence of gaslighting especially when they were criticized and shamed by older generation in Georgia. Specific cases of gaslighting are mostly related to gender and cultural issues (politics, religion) and contribute to stigmatization. The analysis of empirical material demonstrates that certain semantic changes are observed in such discourse. In particular, the social meaning of the lexical units used by the speaker (manipulator) acquires affective connotation, which has a negative influence on the listener’s (victim’s) self-confidence and makes them question correctness of their perceptions.
The study also demonstrates that the Georgian youth is aware of the above manipulations, can identify them and is less susceptible to the negative influence of gaslighting.

Authors: Khalilah Zikrani , Amalia Sinta , Nasser Muhammad Gamal Abd , Nasution Sahkholid , Ghaffar Balah Abdel Rahman ElSayed ElSayed Abdel
Published: January 2025

Abstract: This study examines the role of the Language Acquisition Device (LAD) theory in second language acquisition within the context of Arabic language learning through a psycholinguistic perspective. Using a descriptive qualitative research method and a literature review approach, this research analyzes various relevant primary and secondary sources. The findings reveal that Noam Chomsky's LAD theory significantly impacts second language acquisition, particularly Arabic. LAD serves as an innate mechanism enabling humans to acquire languages naturally. In the context of Arabic learning, the implementation of LAD theory encompasses three primary factors: motivation, language, and social aspects. Psycholinguistic studies reveal that cognitive processes such as memory and information processing play pivotal roles in acquiring Arabic. This study also found that communicative-based learning approaches, using real-life contexts and social interaction with native speakers, are effective strategies in Arabic language learning. The integration of technology and project-based learning can enrich students' learning experiences. In conclusion, a deeper understanding of LAD theory and its application in Arabic language learning can contribute significantly to the development of more effective teaching methods, enabling students to master Arabic more efficiently in an increasingly complex global context.     Keywords: language acquisition device, psycholinguistics, arabic language learning, second language acquisition.

Published: January 2025

Abstract: This study aims to increase students' learning motivation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) through the application of Project-Based Learning (PJBL) model at SMP Negeri 2 Pallangga. Islamic Education has an important role in instilling moral, ethical, and religious values that are the basis of the life of the nation and state. However, the challenge faced in PAI learning is the low motivation of students to learn which has an impact on the understanding and application of religious values in everyday life. This study used the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method with a cyclical approach consisting of two cycles, referring to the classroom action research framework developed by Kemmis and McTaggart, involving 28 students. The research results from the first cycle showed that the majority of students were in the moderate category, with scores ranging from 59% to 73%. In the second cycle, all students managed to reach the “High” category, with scores ranging from 76% to 90%, reflecting the success of the teaching method applied. These findings suggest that PjBL is effective in increasing students' motivation by giving them control over the learning process and encouraging active participation in collaborative projects. This study concludes that PjBL can significantly improve students' engagement and achievement in Islamic Religious Education.    Keywords: project-based learning, learning motivation, Islamic Religious Education.

Authors: Esmaeli Kakroudi Arsalan , Taghipouryani gilani Yosuf , Pourali Mohammadreza , Alikhani Razieh
Published: January 2025

Objective: Audit firm rankings are widely regarded as indicators of quality and reliability, influencing both the reputation and size of audit firms. This study aims to examine the impact of audit firm rankings on the reputation and size of audit firms, providing insights into how these rankings shape client perceptions and operational scale.

Methodology: This quantitative study analyzes data from 1171 audit firms. Key variables include audit firm rankings from community, stock exchange, and municipality sources, as well as firm size, number of partners, certified public accountants (CPAs), professional staff, and administrative staff. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between rankings, firm size, and reputation.

Findings: Descriptive statistics revealed significant variability in audit firm rankings and firm sizes. Multiple regression analyses indicated that audit firm rankings did not significantly impact firm size. However, the number of partners and administrative staff were significant predictors of firm size. Logistic regression results showed that stock exchange rankings significantly influenced firm reputation, while community and municipality rankings did not. The number of administrative staff and firm age also played roles in shaping reputation.

Conclusion: The study concludes that internal characteristics, such as the number of partners and administrative staff, are critical determinants of audit firm size and reputation. While stock exchange rankings significantly influence reputation, other ranking sources are less impactful. Audit firms should focus on enhancing their internal resources and operational efficiency to improve their market position and client perceptions.
Providing an Analytical Model of the Relationship Between Advertising Content Risks and Behavioral Intention in Social Networks
Authors: Modarresi Mahmoud Reza , Akbari Mahsa , Vakil Alroaia Younos
Published: January 2025

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine how various risks affect consumers' reactions and purchase intentions in social media advertising.

Methodology: The research employed a mixed-method approach. Initially, Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) was used to identify relationships between risks, followed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SMART PLS to test these relationships quantitatively. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of social media users, and the relationships between identified risks were analyzed.

Findings: The results show that "environmental risk," "technology risk," "product risk," and "security and privacy risk" influence "operational risk." Moreover, operational risk positively affects "content risk," which in turn influences "functional risk." "Functional risk" negatively impacts consumers' behavioral intentions to purchase, while content risk undermines the credibility of ads, diminishing their perceived functionality and value. Findings support the theoretical literature on risks in online advertising and consumer behavior.

Conclusion: The study concludes that managing advertising risks, particularly content, functional, and operational risks, is crucial for enhancing consumer trust and purchase intentions. Marketers should focus on transparent ad content, secure payment systems, and addressing product information risks to mitigate the impact of these risks. Future research should explore additional variables, such as trust and commitment, to provide a more comprehensive understanding of risk perceptions in social media advertising.

Published: January 2025

Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an area of much research since early diagnosis can offer patient better treatment and enhanced care. In this work we propose a deep learning approach to detect Alzheimer’s disease using the VGG-19 architecture, one of the state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNN). In this work we utilized a dataset composed of a heterogeneous set of brain MRI images from healthy subjects and Alzheimer patients, they are part of the ADNI (Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative). The dataset was preprocessed with a few techniques such as image normalization, augmentation, and denoising to further increase the model's performance. These techniques also expanded the quality of the input data which, coupled with an impressive state-of-the art classification accuracy of 97 %, helped to achieve these results. The results showed deep learning can be effective for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease as a useful clinical diagnostic tool. Finally, this work demonstrates how CNNs such as VGG 19 are ready to be used in medical image analysis and renders a new benchmark on the accuracy of Alzheimer detection.

Published: January 2025

This study discusses the application of qishash punishment in murder cases according to fiqh jinayah, as well as its impact on the Islamic justice system and society. Qishash, which means proportionate retribution, is a form of punishment regulated in Islamic law for the perpetrator of intentional murder. As a legal concept rooted in the principle of justice, qishash aims to restore social balance and provide a deterrent effect for criminals. However, its application in society is not simple, as there are challenges related to unclear evidence, social and cultural considerations, and criticism of the application of the death penalty in the context of human rights. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach to analyze various relevant fiqh and legal texts regarding qishash, as well as real cases that show its application in countries that apply Islamic law. The results of the study show that although qishash is considered a form of justice in Islamic law, its application is faced with problems such as injustice that can arise due to insufficient evidence, as well as controversies related to the death penalty. In addition, the role of the victim's family in choosing between qishash or diyat also shows that there are differences in views influenced by social, cultural, and economic factors. Considering the principles of justice in Islam and the challenges that arise in legal practice, this study concludes that the application of qishash in murder cases needs to be adapted to the times, including in terms of respecting human rights and upholding transparent and fair justice. This research also emphasizes the importance of developing an Islamic criminal law system that is able to accommodate human values without ignoring the principles of justice contained in fiqh jinayah.

Food safety is a pressing concern in both Nigeria and Ethiopia with estimates suggesting that 60% to 80% of illnesses in Ethiopia are caused by pathogens spread via the food supply(Temesgen, 2015) Traditional markets – or “informal” food marketplaces – have become critical to food security, nutrition, and livelihoods for millions of Ethiopians. However, with a lack of regulations, compliance, and training for vendors, food safety practices are often limited in aforementioned markets. We used behavioral science to empower consumers to demand for and prioritise safe, nutritious foods in informal markets while enabling vendors to be receptive to the consumers’ demand for safe food.

Introduction Saliva is a clear, watery fluid that is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. It plays a crucial role in maintaining oral health and facilitating the process of digestion. The bacterial load in nighttime saliva can be influenced by factors such as oral hygiene practices, diet, and overall oral health. Aim of the study The aim of the study is to uncover the potential connection between the presence of Streptococcus mutans bacteria and the buffering capacity of saliva, and how this connection impacts the risk of dental caries in children with ages under 5 years old. Material and methods Three groups of young patients with ages between 3 and 5 years old were formed during the regular dental check-up, in the Pedodontics Clinic of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, UMFST "G.E. Palade". From each of the we have collected the saliva early in the morning, without the children having their teeth brushed using special sterile plastic cups. We have tested the buffer effect of the saliva using specific test and for the determination of bacterial saliva parameters we used Karies Screen Test. Results Group A – 43 (40.18%), included children who presented at least 3 dental caries, group B – 37 (34.57%) of children had 1 or 2 carries, and the control group of children – 27 (25,23%), with intact dentition without carious processes. 39 (36.44%) children had high density of Streptococcus Mutans colonies > 10 units CFU/ml saliva form group A, 35 (32.71%) children presented low to medium density 10 units CFU/ml saliva from group B and for the group control all 27 (25.23%) children presented very low density 5 units CFU/ml saliva. The hights buffer capacity scores were obtained for the group control. Conclusions Children with higher buffer capacity in their saliva tend to exhibit better oral health, including a lower prevalence of dental caries. The buffering capacity of saliva plays a protective role by neutralizing acids produced by oral bacteria, such as Streptococcus mutans, thus contributing to reduced tooth decay.

During pregnancy, dental care is important for the overall health of the mother and unborn baby. However, it is essential to take into account certain aspects when planning dental treatments in a pregnant woman with cardio-vascular pathological implications. It is important to coordinate with your medical and dental team to ensure a safe and effective treatment plan. Pregnancy can bring additional challenges for patients with cardiovascular pathological implications during dental treatments. The medical team must know these aspects to ensure safe and effective dental treatment. Pregnancy itself can affect the cardiovascular system, and this aspect should be taken into account during dental treatments in pregnant women. It is also important to pay attention to medications and procedures used in dentistry to minimize the risk of cardiovascular complications during this delicate period. The dental management of a pregnant patient in the third trimester of pregnancy in the 7th month should be approached with caution and special attention to ensure the safety of both lives. In general, dental treatments are recommended during pregnancy to prevent dental complications that can affect the general health of the mother and fetus

Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARMS) is an innovative procedure in orthodontics aimed at treating jaw discrepancies and correcting tooth and jaw alignment problems in adult patients. This technique involves the use of an expansion device which, when surgically assisted, can provide significant benefits in terms of accelerating the expansion process. The SARM procedure meets the needs of adult patients, who often experience increased jaw bone and difficulty achieving the desired expansion through traditional methods. Assisted surgery is often necessary to unlock bones and allow controlled and effective expansion. The benefits of the surgically assisted SARMS procedure in adult patients are varied and cover aspects such as efficiency in treating jaw discrepancies, accelerating the expansion process, improving aesthetics, and personalizing treatment. With a carefully planned and executed approach, SARM can be an effective and beneficial solution for patients with complex orthodontic needs. Determining the need for WIREs in the initial assessment is a complex process and depends on a variety of individual factors. An interdisciplinary approach and open communication between the patient and the medical team are essential for making an informed decision.

This study aims to present an analysis of the funding level of the medical units within the Romanian public health system before the pandemic. Results showed that medical services do not meet the standards required by patients, though the budget of hospitals comes from multiple sources. At the same time, health expenses in Romania are among the lowest ones in the EU, despite the increases registered over time. This short presentation of the funding level of the Romanian medical units before the pandemic helps us establish a reference base so as to understand the way in which funds were mobilised in Romania from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In today's understanding, oral health means more than just healthy teeth, with an increasing emphasis on social and quality of life implications. Oral diseases markedly affect an individual's perception of general well-being, self-image and self-esteem. The WHO report highlights the importance of risk factors on the health status of the individual or the whole population. No single risk factor acts in isolation, many having their roots in a complex chain of events over long periods of time. Risk factors can be proximal (directly causing illness) and distal (acting at a distance and through intermediary factors). Dental occlusion is a key parameter in the evaluation of the harmonious growth and development of the young patient, already tracing the evolutionary trajectories of the balance of the stomatognathic system of the future adult. The presence of malocclusion in 46% of the cases confers complex valences to the therapeutic approach, initially correcting affected parameters of static and dynamic occlusion.

El divertículo de Meckel es una patología relativamente común, por lo regular su presencia puede pasar desapercibida clínicamente, sin embargo, la tendencia común de presentarse clínicamente es por medio de dolor abdominal simulando cuadros de apendicitis, o casos de sangrado de tubo digestivo alto. Ahora existe una manifestación muy poco usual de esta patología que es por medio de un cuadro de oclusión intestinal.
El estudio de imagen de elección en estos casos es una TAC la cual orienta el diagnóstico, sin embargo, la única manera de confirmar el diagnóstico es a partir de laparoscopia diagnóstica o laparotomía, siendo estas las opciones de tratamiento.
Objetivos. Presentar y dar a conocer una manifestación poco común del divertículo de Meckel, así como las complicaciones y los principales métodos diagnósticos y tratamiento.
