The purpose of this research is to analyze the development trend of ethnic culture from the perspective of contemporary art, focusing on the art form of the expression of contemporary ethnic fiber art on ethnic culture. Through the research methods of questionnaire survey and case analysis of works, it is found that ethnic culture can show its artistic charm through diversified fiber art forms. Contemporary ethnic fiber art will be the innovative carrier of the integration of contemporary art and ethnic culture. In the case analysis of works, it is found that contemporary art and ethnic culture can be integrated into contemporary art creation through traditional handicraft innovation, pattern recombination and deconstruction, color reference, national spirit and other aspects. Therefore, this research proves that the integration of ethnic culture and fiber art is full of contemporary artistic interest, which not only enhances the social influence of ethnic culture, but also helps to enrich the form and content of contemporary fiber art, which is of great significance to promote the development of traditional ethnic craft.

Folklore encompasses a variety of aspects, whether narratives or in other formats, and it needs to be moulded into a more creative and innovative form in line with the revolution of this century. Folklore which conveys messages underlying the expression of feelings of society can be categorised into two forms, i.e. narratives and non-narratives or the ones that are told in prose and poetry. The intrinsic values and lessons in the storytelling of folk tales are sub-primary elements in folk literature that can create deep learning in learners. For literary works to have a significant impact on literary education, they must take into account the evolving interests and demands of today's learners. In addition to emphasising the value of folklore teachings offered to secondary students, folklore education should be prioritised in the adult education curriculum. Folklore research has been done from a variety of angles, primarily qualitative ones in the language and semantic domains. Despite this, several literature reviews noted that some folklore studies using other methodologies are still insufficient. Therefore, this concept paper outlines theoretical adaptation, which can be implemented in folklore studies particularly to develop a new module. The aspects of the discussions are based on theoretical andragogy literature reviews by Knowles (1996), and Vygotsky Social Constructivism (1978), which can be applied in folklore learning. As a suggestion, this theoretical discussion will serve as the foundation for literary studies in transition to digital reconstruction using Richey and Klien's (2007) Development and Design Research (DDR) to design and build a new innovative module, a model, guideline, a framework or even an instrument, particularly as an added value in teaching and facilitation in the field of the Malay literature education.

Art and culture are two entities that are closely related and are suspended from each other. The arts have become an identity and practice essential to Malaysia’s cultural society, which is a multiracial nation. With the diversity of the art practices of multi-ethnic societies in the country, the identity of multicultural Malaysia has become more highlighted and recognizable. The objective of this paper is to gather visual artwork on Culture values found in the Islamic exhibition from 1957 to 1999. The artworks have been put into consideration and recorded accordingly, such as the artwork’s title, dimension or size of the artwork, media, and techniques used in producing the artwork. The researcher followed the integrative approach and applied the technique of the descriptive quantitative approach. The information gathered through data collection inclusive of three major issues, the concept, the national policies, and the events or exhibitions gathered from various sources, including academic books, journals, proceedings as well as exhibition catalogues cum books of painting, retrospectives, biographies, competition booklets, and website. The important events on Islamic art were also gathered through the articles presented at seminars and symposiums as well as newspaper cuttings and magazines. It is hoped that through visual arts, generations of Malaysians will be literate in culture, have high aesthetic values, critical, creative, imaginative, innovative, and inventive, as well as explore thought explorations, and design in a wide range of visual arts to allow the development of ideas and self-expression.

Despite its well-known reputation for its unique archaeological artefacts’ findings and its historical sites, Bujang Valley or locally known as Lembah Bujang situated in Kedah Malaysia is unable to attract tourists in large numbers, specifically during post Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to fill the gap by defining the role of local communities in branding Bujang Valley since local community engagement is imperative since they fulfil multiple functions in place branding. 20 locals were approached through convenience sampling for a semi-structured interview in defining their roles and views on the distinctiveness of place identity, culture, economy and hopes as well as their major involvement in the co-creation of the place branding. This exploratory study reveals that the local community are positive and share collective values towards uplifting the brand image specifically in respect to tourism factors, yet the authenticity and the core value should be sustained. The insights gathered provides a novel conceptualization in reproposing a new brand for Bujang Valley. In the future, Bujang Valley should continue to leverage its unique and well-received characteristics, highly considering the direct and indirect roles of the local community towards the process of place branding.

Published: November 2023

Człowiek od początku dziejów budowy i kształtowania kultur pierwotnych, niezależnie od miejsca zamieszkania i sposoby bytowania, podpatrywał przyrodę. Jego zainteresowania zwrócone były ku formom struktur świata roślinnego, kolejnym fazom ich biologicznego rozwoju, sposobom funkcjonowania, a w konsekwencji możliwości zastosowania ich w budownictwie. Architektura organiczna powstała jako odłam kierunku modernistycznego i jest tą formą architektury, która w swej idei odwołuje się do tradycji miejsc, przestrzeni, fizjonomii krajobrazu i klimatu, a także rodzinnych form kultury i sztuki. Architektura organiczna wykorzystuje innowacyjne rozwiązania adaptujące siłę i odnawialne źródła energii do kształtowania środowiska życia zdrowego i przyjaznego, zgodnie z zasadami współczesnego holizmu. Głównym celem artykułu było przedstawienie wyników badania w formie sondażu diagnostycznego na temat znajomości wśród respondentów pojęcia dotyczącego zrównoważonego rozwoju, ekohotelu, a także architektury organicznej oraz jej zastosowania w hotelarstwie. W badaniu wzięło udział 236 osób, na podstawie, których odpowiedzi można wywnioskować, że pojęcie zrównoważonego rozwoju znane jest dla 46,5% spośród wszystkich ankietowanych osób, natomiast ponad połowa respondentów (52%) nie zna i nie umie scharakteryzować czym jest architektura organiczna. Również połowa ankietowanych biorących udział w badaniu (50%) nie jest w stanie wymienić żadnej budowli wpisującej się w styl architektury organicznej, a tylko 17% spośród wszystkich respondentów potrafi wymienić budowle wpisująca się w styl architektury organicznej.

Celem autorów było określenie jak przebiegał proces urbanizacji Meksyku w latach 1950-2020. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na przestrzenne zmiany w poziomie urbanizacji według regionów i stanów tego kraju. Zbadano także rozwój i przekształcenia sieci miejskiej pod względem przestrzennego zróżnicowania w liczebności i strukturze wielkościowej miast. Przeprowadzone badania potwierdzają, że w analizowanym okresie miał miejsce boom urbanizacyjny, co potwierdza zarówno wzrost wartości wskaźnika urbanizacji z niecałych 43% w 1950 r. do blisko 79% w 2020 r., jak również 4-krotne z górą zwiększenie liczby miast, z 983 do 4189. Znaczące zmiany dokonały się także w przestrzennym rozkładzie urbanizacji, co przejawiało się głównie w spadku dominacji miasta Meksyk i otaczającego go centralnego regionu w poziomie urbanizacji oraz wskaźnika umiastowienia, co sprawiło, że współczesna sieć miejska tego kraju ma bardziej policentryczny charakter.

Lip Fillers, BBLs und Feminismus. Zum Diskurs über kosmetische Eingriffe auf TikTok aus feminismustheoretischer Perspektive
Authors: Kalidz Laura , Götzenbrucker Gerit
Published: November 2023

Die vorliegende Arbeit setzt sich mit dem Diskurs zu kosmetischen Eingriffen auf TikTok unter der Berücksichtigung von ausgewählten feministischen Theorien auseinander. Während die App über die letzten Jahre an Popularität gewonnen hat, wurden bereits Zusammenhänge zwischen TikTok und der eigenen Körperwahrnehmung und Körperüberwachung festgestellt (Bissonette Mink & Szmanski, 2022). Die feministischen Theorien des male gaze nach Mulvey (1999a), der Objektifizierungstheorie nach Fredrickson & Roberts (1997) sowie neoliberale Feminismen wie choice feminism, der Ermächtigung durch die Betonung der Entscheidungsfreiheit zentriert (z.B. Thwaites, 2017), und Postfeminismus (z.B. Gill, 2007) rahmen das mittels Diskursanalyse nach Keller (2011) durchgeführte Forschungsvorhaben. Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf den Umstand, dass feministische Konzepte einerseits als Kritik an kosmetischen Eingriffen, andererseits als Gründe für kosmetische Eingriffe dienen. Die Meinungen zu neoliberalen Feminismen insbesondere dem choice feminism sind unterschiedlich, jedoch zeigen sich User:innen als kritisch gegenüber neoliberal-feministischer Rhetorik. Somit ist der Diskurs zu kosmetischen Eingriffen als differenziert und divers, jedoch auch als postfeministisch anzusehen.
Personzentrierte Maltherapie – Ein Focusing-Prozess auf Papier
Authors: Maaß Elisabeth , Naderer-Klinkovsky Astrid
Published: November 2023

In diesem Beitrag wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die Arbeit im personzentrierten Malraum als begleiteter Focusing-Prozess beschrieben werden kann. Es werden einerseits die Prinzipien des Personzentrierten Ansatzes im praktischen und handelnden Umgang mit Bildprozessen herausgearbeitet. Andererseits stellte sich die Frage nach dem Einfluss des fortwährenden gemalten Focusing-Prozesses, der über weite Strecken auch therapeutisch begleitet wird, sowohl auf die direkte Arbeit mit Bildern als auch auf die Focusing-Praxis. Welche Veränderungen sich sowohl am Bild als auch in der innerpsychischen Landschaft ergeben und wie sich diese Prozesse bedingen, wird näher beleuchtet. Durch den gemeinsamen Bezug auf ein „Drittes“, das Werk als Externalisierung der inneren Landschaft und die therapeutische Begleitung der Beziehung zwischen malender Person und ihrem Bild im fortwährenden Abgleich, ergeben sich für beide Prozesse therapeutische Möglichkeiten, die Entwicklung voranzutragen.
Acceso al crédito e inclusión financiera en Colombia
Authors: Wilches Carvajal Walter Olmedo
Published: November 2023

Aspecto importante de la seguridad humana es la seguridad económica. Así como el acceso al crédito y la inclusión financiera pueden mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas y contribuir al desarrollo económico sostenible, dichas oportunidades son factor determinante en el crecimiento social de una nación en desarrollo. Aunque en Colombia, la relación entre seguridad económica y crédito es estrecha, las características socioeconómicas y la distribución demográfica del país dificultan el estudio y diagnóstico de las problemáticas que afectan dicho acceso. Ante esta situación, se sugiere que los Gobiernos y las organizaciones implementen políticas públicas eficaces que atiendan los desafíos económicos, sociales y ambientales que afectan a las comunidades y pro-muevan la inclusión y la equidad en todos los niveles de la sociedad a fin de promover la seguridad humana en las comunidades.

Tacca chantrieri belongs to the family Taccaceae has black flowers and has a long filiform that looks like a bat. T. chantrieri contains phytochemicals in the form of spritosol saponins used as traditional medicine by the people of China and Thailand. The amount of land clearing, forest exploitation and habitat destruction resulted in a reduction in the number of T. chantrieri, so T. chantrieri was propagated to maintain its sustainability. One way that can be used is the in vitro culture technique, namely callus culture. Callus culture is an early stage of in vitro culture technique where this stage aims to produce and multiply callus cells. The purpose of the study is were to determine the effect of different sucrose concentrations on callus induction from T. chantrieri leaf explants and determine the best sucrose concentrations for callus culture from T. chantrieri leaf explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) media. This study used a single factor completely randomized design (CRD), namely sucrose concentrations 0 g/l, 10 g/l, 20 g/l, 30 g/l, 40 g/l, 50 g/l with five replications. The results of this study showed that the administrations of sucrose with different concentrations on MS media had an effect on increasing callus induction in Tacca chantrieri leaves. The best sucrose concertations for callus induction of Tacca chantrieri leaves was the addition of 40 g/l sucrose at 20 days after planting, 60 % callus formation percentage, callus formed in the form of compact callus and produce yellow-white callus. Keywords: Tacca chantrieri, sucrose, callus, Murashige and Skoog.

Two potential problems commonly associated with flexible denture base material are surface roughness and the reduction of microhardness due to many reasons, rough surface can cause bacterial collection and the patient feels discomfort, and the possibility of the denture scratched when the surface hardness is reduced. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of Coca-cola on the surface quality of the flexible denture base material represented by the surface roughness and microhardness. A total of (10) samples were prepared for this study with the dimension of ( 40mm, 10mm, 3mm) length, width, and height respectively from thermo-plastic flexible resin (X-flexible capsules, color; K2 , size; L\China) by the conventional methods following the manufacturer instructions. The samples were immersed in Coca-cola drink for 12 days at room temperature. This period represents the average of one year of the beverage consumption, the drink has been changing daily.The samples were marked randomly and kept in special containers, and each sample has two rectangular surfaces used for the tests. One side is used for microhardness test and the other side used for the surface roughness test. The first tests were done before immersing the samples in coca-cola as control group. And after immersing the second tests were done as experimental group. In this study the data was analyzed using Independent samples (T- test). And results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in the surface roughness of the samples before and after immersing in Coca-cola (P-value > 0,05), while the microhardness test showed statistically a significant difference (P-value < 0,05) before and after immersing in Coca-cola. The surface roughness of flexible thermoplastic resin is not affected by coca-cola drink. While the levels of mirohardness showed decreasing after immersion in coca-cola drink. Therefore, the flexible thermoplastic material could be damaged if it is subjected to extra consumption of Coca-cola drink by the patient and this leads to lessen the amount of hardness by the time that could affect the efficiency of the prostheses, also could affect the mechanical bonding between artificial teeth and flexible denture base.

Pain during orthodontic treatment is inevitable side effect. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the orthodontist to alleviate this pain as possible. Menstrual cycle is often a painful event to female. Female is the most of orthodontic patient. Hence, study the pain perception of female to orthodontic treatment during menstrual cycle is essential. Aim: the aim of the present study is to asses, if there is change in pain perception to orthodontic tooth movement during menstrual cycle. Seventeen healthy female with regular menstrual cycle intended to receive orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances were participated in the study. Elastomeric separat ors were placed mesial and distal to maxillary and mandi bular first molars during the menstrual and postmenstrual period respectively. Visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain perception at 4 hours, 24 hours, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days after the separators were placed. Data of VAS scores were statistically analyzed. There were statistically sig nificant increase in the pain perception level after the insert ion of separators during menstrual cycle period and decrease during postmenstrual period. During menstrual cycle, fem ale experienced higher pain perception to orthodontic tooth m ovement. Hence, it is better to postpone orthodontic visits for female patients to postmenstrual period.

Palatal rugae are anatomical structures present in the roof of oral cavity; there is a significant association between rugae forms & ethnicity. The aim of this study is to compare rugae patterns in two different populations: Arabs (Asian) & Indians. 80 female participants were included in this study: 40 Arabs & 40 Indians. In the dental clinic / college of dentistry at university of Ajman in UAE. It has been found that the primary rugae lengths was significantly more in Arabs 8.325±1.3 compared to Indians 5.575±1.2, the Arabs population showed predominant wavy shaped rugae [58%], while the Indians had straight shaped rugae [40%]. These differences of the shape & lengths of palatal rugae appear as a result of genetic & environmental factors.
Creation of a Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression in Russia's Invasion Against Ukraine: International Legal Issues and Implications
Authors:   Korea International Law Review, Lee Hyeyoung
Published: November 2023

While Russia's invasion of Ukraine is widely considered an illegal act of aggression, there has been controversy surrounding how to pursue accountability for individuals who are most responsible for aggression. The International Criminal Court lacks jurisdiction in this matter, and domestic courts do not provide promising avenues since they are subject to rules of immunity under international law. Therefore, various states, including the US and many European states, and Ukraine have been advocating for the establishment of a special tribunal for crimes of aggression related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, either based on Ukraine's domestic judicial system or the UN General Assembly's recommendation. This article explores various international legal issues relating to different approaches to holding Russian aggressors accountable. Ultimately, it seeks to identify the best options available to the international community, especially to states in the Global South and East, in light of not only addressing the current demands for accountability but also for more universal and fair criminal justice mechanisms for the future.

Cystoid macular edema (CME, Irwine-Gass Syndrome), despite modern methods of postoperative rehabilitation, remains an urgent problem in ophthalmology. It is most common in cataract surgery, but it also occurs with successfully performed vitreoretinal surgery. Purpose. Analysis of the causes of the development of CME and optimization of the tactics of treatment of patients with glaucoma who underwent vitreoretinal intervention. Material and methods. 6 people with CME after vitreoretinal surgery aged 69.2 ± 7.1 years were under observation at the Tri-Z clinic branch in Moscow in 2022. Vitrectomy was performed in 4 patients (66.7 %) for vitreomacular interface pathology, in two patients (33.3 %) for retinal detachment. All patients received locally prostaglandin analogues (PА) for primary open-angle glaucoma. Tactics of management of patients with glaucoma in CME: 1) cancellation of PA and replacement with therapy of similar efficacy (a combination of drugs from other groups in the absence of contraindications to their use); 2) in CME with retinal thickness up to 450 microns, Diprospan ® injection was performed parabulbar and bromfenac 0.09 % was administered locally twice a day for 2 months.; 3) with CME with a retinal thickness of more than 450 microns, dexamethasone 0.7 mg (Ozurdex®) implant was injected into the vitreal cavity and bromfenac 0.09 % was administered locally twice a day for 2 months. Results. In all patients, retinal thickness decreased from 516.2 ± 125.1 microns to 334.6 ± 62.6 microns (p< 0.05, U-criterion). After 1 month after treatment, the MVA improved from 0.41 ± 0.09 to 0.88 ± 0.11 (p< 0.05, t-criterion). Conclusions. The use of PA in patients with glaucoma may provoke CME, which requires their replacement with a combination of drugs without loss of antihypertensive efficacy. The appointment of bromfenac 0.09 % for prolonged use (up to 2 months or more) after vitreoretinal surgery reduces the risk of developing CME. The proposed tactics of management of patients with glaucoma in CME has shown its effectiveness. Keywords: cystoid macular edema, Irwine-Gass Syndrome, vitreoretinal surgery, prostaglandin analogues

The article presents a description of two clinical cases of late diagnosis of penetrating wounds of the orbit with the introduction of wooden foreign bodies in children. Late diagnosis was associated with the inattention to the details of the anamnesis, untimely surveys or misinterpretation of their results. Longtime stay of foreign bodies in the orbit is dangerous as it may contribute to the development of severe complications both in the early and late periods after injury. The slightest suspicion of penetrating wound of the orbit is an indication for additional imaging techniques (CT, MRI) followed by a thorough revision of the wound channel. Keywords: penetrating wound of the orbit, foreign body of the orbit
