The impact of proposed intimate image abuse offences on domestic violence and abuse
Authors: Bishop Charlotte
Published: December 2023

This article explores how proposed reforms to the law on intimate image abuse could address situations where intimate images are shared, or threats to share are made, in a relationship where there is domestic violence and abuse (DVA). In exploring the purposes and motivations behind the use of non-consensual intimate images in this context, the harmful impact is demonstrated to be the denial of autonomy and personhood that ‘entraps’ the victim in the relationship. It is essential that this harm, and the underlying motivations of those who use intimate image abuse for this purpose, is made visible under any relevant legislation to ensure that the criminal law effectively condemns and remedies conduct of this kind. It is for this reason that the article concludes that the Law Commission, in its 2021 consultation, was right to consider introducing an offence of ‘intentionally taking or sharing an intimate image without consent with the intent to control or coerce the person depicted’.1 It is further suggested that this fault element may better reflect the culpability of those who engage in threats to share intimate images and should be introduced not just where images are taken and shared, but also where threats to share such images are made.

“Language Games” in V. Pelevin's novel “Empire V”
Authors: Хакуашева М.А.
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена художественному дискурсу о литературе и языке, представленному самими писателями. Проблема раскрывается на примере романа В. Пелевина «Ампир V». «Метафорический» роман «о вампирах», написанный в жанре романа-фэнтези, становится «многослойным» художественным размышлением о природе и функциях языка, с этой целью в нем используются образы-символы. Исследуется не только главенствующая природа языка, которая влияет на преемственность и рост неофитов-писателей, таких как главный герой, но и на индивидуальную психику и личность других людей. В авторском представлении художественный язык представляет собой власть особого рода, влияющую на политику и социальную структуру общества, а представители писательской гильдии - тайной «Пятой империи» (один из вариантов интерпретации названия романа «Ампир V») - управляют расой людей и формируют ее по своему усмотрению. Констатируется, что через метафорический и символический контекст возможно переосмыслить необыкновенно расширившиеся и углубившиеся в результате творческой саморефлексии самих писателей представления о литературе и языке. Ключевые слова: символ, архетип, постмодернизм, функции языка, литераторы о литературе, язык и власть, язык и политика, функции тайной гильдии «вампиров»-писателей.

The article examines the artistic discourse of literature and language on the example of V. Pelevin's novel «Empire V». The «metaphorical» novel «about vampires», written in the genre of fantasy, becomes a multi-layered artistic reflection on the nature and functions of language. For this purpose, the author uses images-symbols. The author explores not only the dominant nature of language, which affects the continuity and growth of neophyte writers like the main character, but also the individual psyche and personality of people. In the author's view, the artistic language represents a special kind of power that affects the politics and social structure of society, and representatives of the writers' guild - the secret «Fifth Empire» (one of the interpretations of the title of the novel «Empire V») control the race of people and form it at their discretion. Through the metaphorical and symbolic context, the article provides an opportunity to rethink the extraordinarily expanded and deepened ideas about literature and language as a result of the creative self-reflection of the writers themselves.

Published: December 2023

This study examined the impact of land use types on soil characteristics in Benin City, Nigeria. In both the rainy and dry seasons, soil samples were taken from a farmland at the University of Benin in Nigeria at depths of 0–15 and 15–30 cm, respectively. The physicochemical parameters investigated include pH, EC, carbon content, nitrogen, organic matter, phosphorus, aluminum, and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), as well as Ca, Mg, K, and Na. When comparing seasonal differences in pH, phosphorus, aluminum, and CEC levels, significant differences were revealed at ρ < 0.05, d = 0.0001 for pH, ρ < 0.05, d = 0.0001 for phosphorus, ρ < 0.05, d = 0.0002 for aluminum, and ρ < 0.05, d = 0.019 for CEC, respectively. Conversely, the seasonal differences in EC, carbon content, nitrogen, and organic matter were not significant at ρ < 0.05, d = 0.46 for EC, ρ < 0.05, d = 0.30 for carbon content, ρ < 0.05, d = 0.46 for nitrogen, and ρ < 0.05, d = 0.31 for organic matter, respectively. The investigated soil physico-chemical properties did not vary significantly according to land use types at ρ and d values. This study showed that, in general, soil characteristics were highly influenced by different land uses and hence emphasizes the need to monitor urban land use activities.

Shabat en la oscuridad: la observación participativa como una herramienta de construcción relacional en la investigación cualitativa
Authors: Cook Alvarado Luisa Adriana , Madrid Banegas Astrid Karolina
Published: December 2023

Introducción. Existe un vacío en el estudio de la identidad hondureña y su relación con la religión. Por ejemplo, el judaísmo es frecuentemente marginalizado y fetichizado en una sociedad derivada de la hegemonía cristiana. Presentación de experiencia. La epistemología standpoint y la observación participativa fue utilizada para investigar la comunidad judía ortodoxa en una sinagoga en San Pedro Sula, Honduras. Se realizaron observaciones participativas al servicio de Shabat, mediante rituales que involucraron a mujeres de la comunidad. Se recolectó información por medio de la experiencia y la conversación. Discusión. Los rituales y prácticas son fundamentales para todas las religiones. En la comunidad judía ortodoxa estudiada, se ha convertido en una piedra angular. El deseo de cumplir la ley religiosa fue lógico en un contexto donde la observancia fue la única conexión con la identidad judía. Conclusión. El valor de la epistemología standpoint se confirma mediante la profundidad de la información obtenida por la invitación de unirse al servicio de Shabat y el nivel de involucramiento permitido. En esta instancia, la observación participativa se convirtió en una herramienta para establecer la confianza. En esta primera vista, se facilitó el intercambio de información y un punto para un futuro contacto.

La equidad de género todavía un vacío en las economías en el avance del siglo XXI. Un primer acercamiento México y Japón
Authors: Magaña Carrillo Irma
Published: December 2023

En la región de Asia Pacífico se ubican países con alto desarrollo económico, que destacan por su diversidad cultural y política, así como diferencias en diversos aspectos como el género. En México, el tema presenta serios desafíos, ya que el avance en algunos indicadores del Índice Global de Brechas de Género (2022) es lento. Por su parte, Japón, país que sigue relegando a las mujeres a un papel social secundario, indica que no siempre un país con mayor desarrollo es sinónimo de una mejor posición de igualdad para la mujer. El objetivo de investigación es el análisis comparativo de la situación actual de la mujer en Asia Pacífico, particularmente en los países de Japón y en México, mediante una revisión documental y de la utilización de la etnografía como técnica. Se comparan los distintos indicadores en torno a la medición de la equidad de género para determinar la relación entre desarrollo económico y nivel de equidad de género en los países elegidos, confirmando que el avance en la equidad de género en un país carece de relación con su  nivel de desarrollo económico. De tal manera que permanece en la agenda de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sustentable 2030,  para mejorar el nivel de vida de la población, además de su crecimiento económico.

Rational Design of HighPerformance M-N-C Single Atom Catalysts
Authors: Wang Yijing
Published: December 2023

High-performance electrocatalysts are required because the sluggish kinetics of Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) at the cathode in either Fuel Cell (FC) or Metal-Air Battery (MAB). The current most effective ORR catalysts are noble Pt-group metals, whose high price and low abundance severely hamper the widespread application of FC and MAB. Dispersively non-noble transition metal coordinated with nitrogen atoms doped in carbon nanomaterials (M-N-C) Single Atom Catalysts (SACs) have been considered as the most promising catalysts for the ORR. Here, the effect of typical morphology on the activity and stability of SACs was discussed firstly. Moreover, the effect of metal type, coordination nitrogen number, heteroatom decoration on the central metal atom were discussed. Based on the rate determining step (RDS), we propose the ideal characters that high-performance SACs should possess.

This study aimed to identify factors contributing to prenatal asphyxia in full-term neonates born at Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar. The research was conducted over one year (January 2022 to January 2023) at the Pediatrics Department of Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar. The study involved mothers delivering twins vaginally, comprising 100 newborns with gestational ages between 37 and 42 weeks and birth weights from 2,000 to 4,000 grams. A case-control design was employed, categorizing infants with Apgar scores of five or less at one minute as cases and those with scores exceeding five as controls. Data collection utilized a customized form, capturing demographic variables and risk factors. Statistical analysis employed SPSS version 26.0, applying the chi-square test for comparison. The results showed significant differences between cases and controls regarding gender distribution, birth weight, mode of delivery, maternal age, and gestational age. Key risk factors, including parity, fetal distress, meconium in amniotic fluid, and prolonged labor, displayed significant differences between cases and controls. The study concluded that birth asphyxia is influenced by factors such as meconium-stained amniotic fluid, prolonged labor, and fetal distress. Obstetrician involvement in ongoing research enhances data reliability. Community-specific risk factors underscore the need for tailored interventions to mitigate birth asphyxia. Despite study limitations, including a single-center design, the findings contribute valuable insights for future research and targeted strategies.

Beyond Haze: Unveiling the Health Crisis of Urban Smog
Authors: Naveed Muhammad Asif
Published: December 2023

With the industrial growth and urbanization in large cities of Pakistan, the smog has become a lurking adversary amidst the haze impacting millions of people every winter season. Pakistan ranks at number 3 in the countries with poor air quality as of 2019, the main reason of which is the persistent smog.  It is formed the presence of severe atmospheric pollutants suspended in air which gives it a yellowish black dense appearance. These pollutants mainly originate from industries due to the burning of fuels in industries, and from automobile exhausts due to the release of harmful gases such as ozone, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxide along with the particulate matter such as dust and volatile compounds in air. It not only reduces visibility and obscures the skyline but is known to have serious implications for human health. Various studies associate smog with the respiratory and eye infections, allergies, and lungs cancer. The particulate matter present in the smog such as PM10 reach the lower levels of the respiratory tract and is responsible for irritation and allergies. Moreover, they carry other harmful materials, such hydrocarbons and poisonous gases with them as well that enter the blood stream via gaseous in alveoli [1]. The constituents in smog have been reported to elevate the risk of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in lungs in the people with chronic respiratory conditions. People from all age groups are affected with the youngest and immunocompromised individuals more susceptible to perilous effects of smog depending upon the time of exposure. Apart from respiratory system, there are various reports which link smog with the cardiovascular system issues as well. Researchers from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have proved the long-term exposure to PM2.5 can result in myocardial infarction and decreased life expectancy [2]. A number of multifaceted strategies are required to address this health crisis. Regulatory policies for the controlled emission of harmful matter in the air, and plans for the introducing cleaner technologies may prove beneficial to mitigate this risk and improve the overall air quality. Public awareness is equally critical to equip general masses with the knowledge about the adverse effects of smog and ways to prevent them. Smog is not merely an environmental concern, it’s a public health emergency which demands urgent attention. It’s a collected responsibility of policy makers and communities to revitalize the urban environments steering towards healthier tomorrows.

Published: December 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo de relatar um caso clínico de pan-hipopituitarismo pós-Covid diagnosticado no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e retrospectivo, baseado na análise do caso clínico de um paciente adulto, do sexo masculino, internado no Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados. Realizou-se uma pesquisa nas bases de dados PubMed/Medline, Portal de Periódicos da CAPES, LILACS, SCieLO, Google Acadêmico, Bireme e UpToDate com os descritores: "hipofisite", "Covid-19", "SARS-CoV-2", "glândula pituitária", "sistema endócrino", “hypophysitis", "pituitary gland" e "endocrine system". Incluíram-se artigos até fevereiro de 2023 nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Um termo de consenti-me nto livre e esclarecido foi elaborado para garantir o sigilo e direito de liberdade de escolha do objeto da pesquisa em participar ou continuar participando da pesquisa tendo a sua vontade respeitada sem qualquer prejuízo, respeitando as normativas da Resolução N. 466/12 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde. Este trabalho teve aprovação do comitê de ética em pesquisa do hospital em questão com número de parecer: 6.388.576. Este estudo foi pautado em um caso singular de pan-hipopituitarismo, uma ocorrência considerada pouco comum na medicina clínica, observado no Hospital Universitário. Foram elucidados os achados clínicos, laboratoriais e neurorradiológicos, bem como as abordagens diagnósticas e terapêuticas implementadas. Intrigantemente, a etiopatogenia deste quadro não pôde ser atribuída a qualquer outro fator senão às sequelas prévias da infecção por COVID-19. A partir da análise realizada, infere-se que, mesmo na ausência de provas irrefutáveis ligando a COVID-19 à hipofunção hipofisária, a coexistência dessas condições aponta para uma correlação potencialmente plausível. Recomenda-se que mais estudos busquem se aprofundar na investigação dessa relação. Tal entendimento poderia lançar luz sobre tratamentos mais direcionados e estratégias de prevenção para pacientes que se encontrem em risco.

Published: December 2023

Background: Appropriate wound care can optimize healing and prevent infection and complications. Various factors influence proper wound healing, which might result in non-healing chronic wounds. Thus, controlling and assessing risk factors is important to avoid wound healing complications. Studies showed that people with insufficient knowledge about wound care can negatively impact their quality of life, financial burden, and healthcare expenses. So, we aimed in this study to assess the perspective and knowledge of wound care among the Makkah region’ general population. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed to the General public of the Makkah region in January 2023 through social media platforms. Results: The study survey was completed by 1005 eligible respondents. The participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 65. While 544 (54%) of the participants were between the ages of 20 and 30. 585 (58.2%) participants in total were female. Most participants had an average level of knowledge (54%), followed by poor and high levels of knowledge (27.5%, and 18.5%, respectively). Conclusion: The average degree of wound care-related knowledge and perception was demonstrated by nearly half of the participants, and about 27.5% had a low knowledge level. This fact emphasizes the need for health-related programs to raise awareness about wound care management among patients and healthcare providers.

UED-SP Barokah Mandiri, owned by the village government, is one of the choices often used as a place for borrowing funds by the community. However, the contract agreement used is conventional. So, there are many perceptions that those who are not Sharia are not that good. This raises the question of whether it is true that conventionally based agreements are not good. In order to see this, the researcher will examine the model of the contract agreement carried out by UED-SP and its services to prospective/customers from the perspective of Islamic business ethics. The research method used is field research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data analysis model uses inductive reasoning.

However, the closest financial institution there is a conventional financial institution. The results of the study show that in terms of business ethics, the agreements and services carried out by UED-SP Barokah Mandiri are more or less compatible with the values of Islamic business ethics.

Sharia crowdfunding can be an alternative financing solution with looser requirements than banking, but the reality is that MSMEs using sharia crowdfunding is still relatively low.  This study explores the factors that prevent MSMEs from using Sharia crowdfunding financing to meet business capital needs. This research focuses on the level of understanding of MSME entrepreneurs towards Sharia crowdfunding financing and what are the causes of using the sharia crowdfunding model financing to help the capital of MSME actors engaged in food and beverage. This type of research is a survey. This study used two data collection methods, namely filling out questionnaires and in-depth interviews with 12 MSME entrepreneurs in the Surakarta area, then the results were carefully analyzed to find the right results. The findings of this study show that the answer to the level of understanding of MSME actors towards Sharia crowdfunding financing is divided into three, namely, not understanding, understanding a little, and very understanding. This study also shows five facts that prevent MSME actors from using Sharia crowdfunding financing: lack of information and knowledge, still relying on traditional financing, not requiring financing, the impact of the pandemic, and a wrong understanding of the working mechanism of sharia crowdfunding. This study is expected to be a reference in the policy of digitizing sharia capital sources for MSMEs.
