‘Fascism In Catalonia’ In Merce Rodoreda’s Death In Spring- A Study
Authors: Prof. P. Kannan
Published: March 2024

Merece Rodorera is a well-known Catalan writer of the twentieth century. Among Rodoreda's works, Death in Spring, translated in English in 2009, is hailed as a masterpiece. Rodoreda fled her nation and went into exile during the Spanish Civil War, later returning to her homeland after living in exile in France and Barcelona. During her exile, she authored Death in Spring, which was only published after her death.  Rodoreda appears to have written this work in Catalan while in exile. She imagined what her motherland would have endured under Franco's fascist and authoritarian rule in Catalonia. Franco's fundamentalist regime enforced in Catalonia and Spain the policy of one language, one culture, and one nation. Rodoreda, as an expatriate, appears to depict the influence of fascism subtly via symbols and pictures.  This research attempts to trace how fascism is represented in this literature.  Death in Spring by Rodorada is a complicated work filled with rich and intense symbolism and imagery. The term itself is an illustration of this, as spring is a season of fresh birth rather than death. Life and death, courage and fear, desire and despair, young and old, good and evil, and spirit and body are all examples of binaries. There is a schism between beliefs, customs, and myths. It is clear in the writing of an exile. The novel is also a meta-fiction on the technique of novelization.
Pantheism and William Wordsworth
Authors: Sumati Bharti
Published: March 2024

A religious theory that may be utilized to construct an Islamic criticism of English literature according to Islamic principles is Wordsworth’s pantheism. Pantheism may encourage academics whose ultimate objective is to understand God via the study of natural objects of the universe found in English literature, despite the fact that it is fundamentally antithetical to God’s oneness. We were therefore enthralled by Wordsworth’s interpretation and comprehension of nature. However, we tried to reconstruct the idea from an Islamic perspective utilizing Quranic text after learning that his idea of God’s partial presence as a being within each natural element violates Islamic monotheism. The romantic poets like such as Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley in Britain; transcendentalists Emerson and Thoreau in the United States; and Goethe and Hegel in Germany all contributed to the idea’s rise in popularity in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It emerged as the preeminent literary form dedicated to praising nature in the nineteenth century. Philosophers and poets from all eras and stages manifest pantheism in a variety of languages.
Teaching methods described by Maharishi Dayanand
Authors: Dr. Uday Pratap Singh
Published: March 2024

Indian philosophical ideology is based on moral, religious and spiritual beliefs. All Indian philosophies believe that there is some moral system in the universe which maintains order and control in nature and human society. Indian philosophy has a tendency to look at life from a holistic perspective. In the field of philosophy, epistemology explains the human intellect's knowledge and the means of attaining knowledge. These means are called methods. On this basis, philosophers formulate teaching methods. From the teaching methods created by educational philosophers, we get the knowledge of who should be taught when and how? On the basis of methods, a teacher selects the methods according to those objectives to achieve the teaching objectives.

This exercise is compulsory for our body but not for our mind and soul. A certain reason provides a certain action. There is a great rule of nature that shows the seeds of mustard none can harvest the crop of wheat. So, we should understand the thing that any external practice can provide fitness only for our physical body. It is not more related to our internal system which is more internal than our internal parts of the body so we should know about the part which needs more fitness than our external or internal body.
“Concept, form and philosophical background of devotion”
Authors: Sujit Kumar Verma
Published: March 2024

Bhakti, a sentiment rooted in the worship of God, has been prevalent since the Vedic period and has evolved over time. The word Bhakti, derived from the root Bhaj which means to serve, includes worship, love and offering to God. There are two paths of devotion: Saguna and Nirguna, the second is the path of knowledge and the second is the path of love. Hinduism accepts both forms of God, with saints and devotees adopting their preferred forms. Philosophical discussion on Bhakti began in the Middle Ages, with scholars such as Shankaracharya attempting to consolidate Hinduism through the Vedas and Upanishads. Shankaracharya introduced monism, arguing that the soul and the world have no real significance apart from Brahman, and knowledge is the only means of purifying the mind. Ramanujacharya opposed Shankaracharya's theory and said that Brahma is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. Nimbarkacharya also established dualism, saying that soul and nature are objectively real but dependent on God.

Child Labor in India's Perspective
Authors: Dr. Bhavana Lal
Published: March 2024

On one hand, child labor hinders development and healthy competition all around the society and on the other hand, it gives rise to unemployment, illiteracy, population growth, diseases and socio-economic inequality among the poor people. On the other hand, it also destroys human rights, child rights and human dignity. According to a survey conducted by UNICEF, 1 crore 80 lakh children are working on the streets in the cities of India alone. Most of them have never even seen the face of a school. A study of slums in Kolkata has found that 84 percent of school-going children are out of school. Of which 49 percent of children are child laborers. If we look at the total numbers, it is estimated that there are more than 6 crore child laborers in hazardous and highly dangerous enterprises. On the other hand, lakhs of boys and girls are working as domestic laborers even within the closed walls of their homes. Due to the lack of social governments, their number is continuously increasing. Many reasons contribute to the miserable condition of child laborers. Firstly, the industry knows all the ways to protect the law in their cases and it also understands that a child's body is so helpless that it is easy to work in any situation and then there is no guesswork. The danger also does not exist. Who could be better suited for low wages and more work than children.

Vasudaiva Kutumbakam – One Earth, One Family, One Future
Authors: Akhilesh Tiwari
Published: March 2024

India is a civilization, not just a country, nation or government. At a time when the world is grappling with pandemics, wars, energy and climate crises, India assuming the leadership of G20 and restricting resources is appropriate not only politically economically but also socially and culturally. COVID-19 proved that the incredibly diverse world is too complex to be reduced to a utopian framework – a one size fits all idea. However, the fact is that COVID-19 may have only highlighted a crisis that dates back to the latter half of the last century and extends to the present. India's leadership in the G20 is therefore a window of opportunity for a more sustainable worldview because the ideas are coming from a civilization with a long history of accepting the entire world as one family - Vasudaiva Kutumbakam.

Ernst Cassirer and the Symbolic Mediation of Technological Artefacts
Authors: Tafdrup Oliver Alexander ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

The concept of mediation plays a central part in several positions of contemporary philosophy of technology. Especially Don Ihde and Peter-Paul Verbeek have served to establish mediation as one of the core concepts in the postphenomenologically rooted philosophical analysis of human-technology-world relations. While meditation theory provides many important conceptual and empirical contributions to our knowledge of how material artefacts shape our embodied being in the world, too little attention has arguably been given to the development of concepts that enable a philosophical analysis of the symbolic aspect of technological artefacts. This paper aims to develop the notion of ‘symbolic mediation’ by drawing on inspiration from the tradition of philosophical anthropology, more specifically, the work of Ernst Cassirer and his Philosophy of Symbolic Forms (PSF). Drawing on empirical examples of human-robot interactions (HRI), I coin two types of symbolic mediation: 1) mythic mediation and 2) aesthetic mediation.

Stress-responsive MAPK signaling pathway with proliferation and apoptosis in the rat testis after 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation exposure
Authors: Er Hakan , Tas Gizem Gamze , Soygur Bikem , Ozen Sukru , Sati Leyla
Published: March 2024

Objective: Mobile phone technology has progressed quickly in recent years. Cell phones operate using radiofrequency radiation (RFR), and the complete biological impacts of RFR remain unidentified. Thus, we aimed to investigate the potential effects of 2100 MHz radiofrequency radiation exposure on the stress-responsive JNK/p38 MAPK pathway, apoptosis and proliferation in rat testis.
Methods: RFR groups were created with 2100 MHz RFR exposure for acute (2 h/day for 1 week) and chronic (2 h/day for 10 weeks) periods. Sham groups were kept under identical conditions without RFR. The cell apoptosis and histopathological changes in testis were evaluated. Immunolocalization of PCNA, active caspase-3, Bcl-xL, p-JNK and p-p38 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry, the total protein expressions were identified by Western blot.
Results: There were no differences between RFR and sham groups by means of histopathology and TUNEL analysis. Also, the expression levels and the immunolocalization patterns of PCNA, active caspase-3 and Bcl-xL proteins were not altered. p-JNK and p-p38 protein expressions were prominently elevated in acute and chronic RFR groups.
Conclusion: In conclusion, 2100 MHz RFR exposure had no considerably deleterious consequences on cellular proliferation and apoptosis processes in rat testis. However, increased expression of stress-activated protein kinases, p-JNK and p-p38, suggests the involvement of the MAPK signaling pathway as a critical (may be detrimental) cellular response.

Authors: Ni'mah Zetty
Published: March 2024

Cases of bullying have been deeply concerning in schools or even Islamic schools. Educational institutions, which should be safe and comfortable places for learning, have unfortunately become hellish and traumatic places remembered as painful scars by the victims. This article explores the importance of instilling the character of tolerance as an effort to address bullying in educational institutions. Programs such as child-friendly schools and the internalization of tolerance through school programs are key to building an inclusive school culture that respects diversity. The process of internalizing the character of tolerance in schools can be done by referring to the theory of social construction, through externalization, objectification, and internalization. Instilling attitudes of tolerance in the context of anti-bullying can be done in various ways, including character development programs, anti-bullying movements, integration with school culture, integration into curriculum and school self-development programs, as well as building communication and cooperation with parents. With a comprehensive and integrated approach, instilling the character of tolerance can be one of the effective solutions to address bullying in educational institutions.

Published: March 2024

This article explores the impact of language models on undergraduate thesis writing skills among higher education students. With advancements in technology, language models have become integral to the digital writing landscape. This study examined the influence of language models on students' confidence and motivation in academic writing. The research employs a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured interviews with five students from an English Language Education program who utilized AI tools in their thesis writing process. Despite acknowledging the advantages, participants underscored challenges encompassing overreliance, inaccuracies, and disruptions in the natural flow of their writing. The impact of these tools on participants' confidence and motivation in academic writing manifested diversely, introducing varying degrees of perceived artificiality in writing proficiency. There were already numerous researches regarding the pretinence of language models usage on students’ writing aptitude.  However, there remains a gap in understanding their specific influence on undergraduate thesis writing. Thematic analysis of the interview data reveals insights into the influence of language models, on the writing proficiency of higher education students engaged in the process of crafting undergraduate theses. Employing a methodology encompassing interviews, participants reported noteworthy enhancements in the coherence, clarity, grammar, syntax, and vocabulary of their theses facilitated by the utilization of these language tools. Overall, the incorporation of language models in the writing process emerged as a catalyst for heightened efficiency, skills development, and enhanced clarity in undergraduate theses, affirming the constructive role of AI technology in educational settings. Individualized experiences with language models exhibited variance contingent upon personal preferences and attitudes towards the writing process.

En los últimos años, las investigaciones del campo de la musicoterapia para personas con discapacidad intelectual se han centrado principalmente en desarrollar las habilidades sociales en niños y adolescen- tes, pero en las principales revistas científicas de la disciplina se encuentran muy pocos estudios relacio- nados con los jóvenes y los adultos. El presente trabajo presenta un proyecto de intervención en musi- coterapia basado en la adaptación de la técnica de composición e improvisación musical del Soundpain- ting para su utilización en sesiones grupales con jóvenes y adultos con discapacidad intelectual. Se tradu- ce en el Juego del Director de Orquesta, una actividad dividida en dos niveles –básico y avanzado–que se enmarcan en una discapacidad moderada a grave. A través de ella, se trabajan cuatro objetivos prin- cipales: autopercepción y autoestima, habilidades comunicativas, creatividad y bienestar. Debido a la corta envergadura del proyecto –basado en cinco sesiones–, constituye un punto de partida para estu- diar los beneficios de la improvisación musical en los adultos con discapacidad intelectual.

FINANZAS: LA MUSICOTERAPIA ES MÁS EFICIENTE SI LAS CUENTAS ESTÁN CLARAS

Published: March 2024

Como profesionales de la música orientada a la tera- pia es ineludible es importante plantear una estrate- gia de emprendimiento. Estas cuestiones apenas se atienden en los postgrados como si el ejercicio de la musicoterapia estuviera fuera espontáneo y fortuito.
Para llenar ese vacío, ese gap, en términos de investigación, aquella quinta charla puso una pequeña base que merece hoy ser ampliada confirmando el cometido original de los MUT talks: ayudar al emprendimiento y asegurar el salto que los nuevos profesio- nales han de hacer desde la teoría de la musicoterapia a la práctica profesional (Gamella-González, 2023).
Señalar los puntos cardinales financieros y las fronteras de la contratación es sin duda el mejor soporte para aquellos que deciden implementar su vocación terapéutica. La solidez de sus primeros proyectos, al margen de los protocolos clínicos y las medidas de evaluación, se deben fundamentar en un buen diseño de presupuestos y a una correcta tributación. Los motivos son obvios: lograr una justa retribución y cumplir con la legalidad vigente. Esto hace sostenible en el tiempo la propuesta y da seguridad al paciente y al terapeuta.
Nuestro objetivo, por tanto, es desmitificar algunos de esos trámites y procedimientos tributarios para situar en un enfoque realista el proceso de emprendimiento, evitando así desilusiones retributivas y riesgos legales. Aunque, como es complejo abordar todas las casuísticas, sólo haremos un esbozo de los requisitos principales según el marco legislativo español. Nos serviremos de algunos ejemplos y plantearemos algunos cálculos simulando supuestos reales. Con todo ello esbozaremos un pequeño manual de primeros auxilios financieros.

This study aims to determine (1) the Corruption Criminal Law Policy on the Misuse of Hospital Medical Devices by State Civil Apparatuses. (2) The role of the government in the prosecution of corruption crimes involving the misuse of hospital medical devices carried out by state civil apparatus. The preparation of this thesis uses an empirical legal approach, in which the author looks at law in its real sense and examines how the law works in society.With this research, it is concluded that: The role of criminal law in dealing with criminal acts of corruption in the form of abuse of hospital medical devices committed by the state apparatus is contained in Articles 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 12B, and Article 23 of the Corruption Law (which adopted Articles 421, 422, 429, and Article 430 of the Criminal Code). The criminal act of corruption for civil servants and/or state administrators is a criminal act of corruption that can only be committed by people who are qualified as civil servants or state administrators.The role of law enforcers in the enforcement of corruption crimes in the abuse of hospital medical devices begins with the submission of reports originating from individuals, community organizations and non-governmental organizations, state institutions and government institutions, and information reports from the internal police, which will then be carried out by an investigation process with the assistance of the police and the Attorney General's Office. If the case file submitted by the investigator is deemed complete and the case can be prosecuted by the public prosecutor, then the public prosecutor then makes an indictment.

Kesalahan medis merupakan masalah yang serius dalam industri kesehatan yang dapat menyebabkan dampak negatif terhadap pasien, tenaga medis, dan sistem kesehatan secara keseluruhan. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini, pengembangan sistem pendukung keputusan klinis (Clinical Decision Support System/CDSS) telah menjadi fokus penelitian yang signifikan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pemanfaatan CDS dalam mencegah terjadinya kesalahan medis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian literatur. Penelitian literatur dilakukan dengan melakukan pencarian di database ilmiah untuk mengidentifikasi penelitian terkait pemanfaatan CDS dalam mencegah kesalahan medis. Sementara itu, studi kasus dilakukan di sebuah rumah sakit terkemuka, di mana implementasi CDS dievaluasi dalam konteks penggunaannya oleh tenaga medis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan CDS dapat secara signifikan mengurangi risiko kesalahan medis melalui berbagai mekanisme, termasuk pemberian saran diagnostik yang tepat waktu, peringatan terhadap interaksi obat yang berpotensi berbahaya, serta panduan pengobatan berbasis bukti. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga mengidentifikasi beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi efektivitas implementasi CDS, seperti integrasi dengan sistem informasi kesehatan yang sudah ada, pelatihan yang memadai bagi pengguna, dan dukungan dari pimpinan rumah sakit. Kesimpulannya, pemanfaatan CDS memiliki potensi besar dalam mencegah terjadinya kesalahan medis dan meningkatkan keselamatan pasien. Namun, untuk mencapai potensi penuhnya, diperlukan upaya yang terkoordinasi antara penyedia layanan kesehatan, pengembang teknologi, dan regulator dalam mengatasi tantangan implementasi dan memastikan integrasi yang efektif dengan praktik klinis sehari-hari.

So weit fort von Europa ist Korea eigentlich gar nicht. Jedenfalls wenn man in der Business-Class einen Direktflug erwischt. Mal ausspannen, die Zeitung lesen, einen Film sehen, etwas Leckeres essen, ein Stündchen schlafen und schon ist man dort und genauso wieder zurück. Man zieht die Buntfalten in der Hose noch einmal gerade, schnappt sich den Rollkoffer und steht dann erstmal zwei Stunden im Stau auf der Zubringerstraße.

Heute haben sich im Grab umgedreht: Frank Sinatra, John Lennon, Elvis Presley. Cindy Lauper, Blondie und Fools Garden standen kurz davor. Der Grund: die IB-IFLA-Reisegruppe schlug heute einen alternativen Heimweg ein und stolperte zufällig in ein kleines Kellerlokal namens „Chantal“, dass sich als bodenständige Karaokebar entpuppte.
