Ženský živel v polské poválečné literatuře
Authors: Všetička František
Published: February 2024

V poválečné polské literatuře se objevil a objevuje značný počet spisovatelek. Autor této stati se zaměřil na čtyři z nich, z nichž každá představuje jiný literární typ. Natalia Rolleczek je prozaička se smyslem pro humor. Anna Langfus se původně jmenovala Anna Regina Szternfinkiel, prožila za války svůj židovský osud, po válce odjela do Francie a stala se z ní francouzská spisovatelka. Židovského původu je rovněž Sidonia Rup, jejíž poezie obsahuje příbuzné motivy jako próza pofrancouzštělé Anny Langfus. Hanna Malewska na rozdíl od nich je autorkou historických próz, sahajících námětově do středověku a čerpajících látky z římské a francouzské minulosti.
Reflexe holokaustu v grafických románech Boxer a Maus
Authors: Mikulášek Alexej , Zelenková Anna
Published: February 2024

Studie v první části analyzuje pojmy "komiks" a "židovský komiks". V druhé části provádí podrobnou analýzu zobrazení holokaustu v grafických románech Boxer (2012) německého autora Reinharda Kleista a Maus I-II (1986-1991) amerického autora polského původu Arta Spiegelmana. Dochází k závěru, že oba texty se vyznačují explicitním antipsychologismem a emocionálním racionalismem a svou estetickou hodnotu nezakládají na originalitě námětu, ale na formě výtvarného díla. Zatímco Boxer je realistický komiks o boxu jako prostředku přežití v mezní situaci koncentračního tábora, postmoderní Maus zachycuje traumatickou zkušenost genocidy prostřednictvím alegorického ztvárnění hlavních postav jako zvířecích bytostí. Téma holokaustu v obou komiksech i přes svou žánrovou odlišnost zprostředkovává citlivé otázky židovské identity a poukazuje na dvě legitimní možnosti uměleckého uchopení materiálu.
Kyphoscoliosis complicating asthma with fixed airway obstruction
Authors: Bonello Sarah , Farrugia Yanika , Mallia Theresa , Maniscalco Nicoletta , Balzan Martin
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Kyphoscoliosis is present in up to 2% of the juvenile population and can have deleterious effects on respiratory mechanics, leading to chronic respiratory failure later on in adult life. Case presentation: Hereby we describe a 53-year-old patient with severe uncontrolled asthma who presented with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure.  During her medical workup, she was noted to have several comorbidities leading to her respiratory failure. The patient had radiological evidence of bronchiectasis with recurrent episodes of infection, and a severe deformity of the spine due to Kyphoscoliosis.  Probably the kyphotic component of this deformity had worsened due to a long history of oral steroid use leading to severe osteoporosis and consequent vertebral compression fractures reaching a Cobb angle of 73 degrees.  This was probably caused by the patient’s non-compliance with inhaler therapy and an excessive reliance on oral steroid use. Her respiratory failure was treated with domiciliary noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and 24-hour oxygen therapy and her symptoms improved. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary approach across different specialities is necessary when managing such a patient with kyphoscoliosis, bronchiectasis, asthma with airflow limitation with respiratory failure.

Published: February 2024

Era digitalisasi, perkembangan informasi teknologi, dan juga kasus penyalahgunaan data pribadi termasuk kebocoran data di Indonesia yang kian meningkat membuat pemerintah menyadari bahwa diperlukan perlindungan hukum yang dapat memberikan kepastian hukum terkait perlindungan data pribadi. Perlindungan hukum berupa peraturan perlindungan data pribadi setara dengan Undang-Undang yang turut menjadi pedoman bagi organisasi khususnya pengendali data pribadi dan prosesor data pribadi serta masyarakat untuk mengelola data pribadi yang dimiliki. Indonesia kini telah resmi memiliki Undang-Undang Perlindungan Data Pribadi yaitu Undang-Undang No 27 Tahun 2022 Tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi. Perlindungan data pribadi sangat erat kaitannya dengan pengamanan data dan juga keamanan siber. Dalam kaitannya dengan keamanan siber, Indonesia telah memiliki berbagai peraturan seperti Undang-Undang Tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik, Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 71 Tahun 2019 Tentang Penyelenggaraan Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik, dan Peraturan Menteri Komunikasi dan Informatika Nomor 20 Tahun 2016 Tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi dalam Sistem Elektronik hingga peraturan sektoral lainnya yang mengatur mengenai kewajiban organisasi keamanan siber, termasuk pengamanan data. Dalam implementasi Undang-Undang Perlindungan Data Pribadi, masih dibutuhkan penunjukan lembaga yang berwenang untuk mengatur mengenai perlindungan data pribadi yang ditunjuk oleh pemerintah, berikut dengan peraturan turunan dari Undang-Undang Perlindungan Data Pribadi. Organisasi juga dapat bekerja sama dengan pihak ketiga (konsultan) dalam mengembangkan program keamanan siber termasuk perlindungan data pribadi agar dapat memenuhi persyaratan peraturan perlindungan data pribadi

Authors: Adetayo Adebowale Jeremy , Ojokuku Beatrice , Babatunde Shade , Folashade Munirat Lawal
Published: February 2024

The study examined the influence of psychosocial work environment on the research productivity of librarians in universities in southwestern Nigeria. A descriptive survey research approach was utilised in the study. The population consisted of 363 librarians from all of southwestern Nigeria's university libraries. Data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings indicated that librarians' research productivity was high in of quantity of publication but low in terms of publications in Scopus/WoS. Librarians' psychosocial work environments were discovered to be psychologically and socially fit. The study concluded that librarians' research productivity was significantly positively influenced by their psychosocial work environment, and it therefore recommends that library management adhere to a planned work schedule to reduce librarian strain, and that procedures be put in place to ensure that librarians are not overly exposed to the critical life events of others.

Various studies highlight that there is gender bias in pesantren rooted in a preserved patriarchal culture. On the other hand, the government supports gender awareness, referring to the points of goals 4 and 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Departing from these problems, a study was conducted at Pesantren Al-Ikhsan Beji, Purwokerto, to determine how Pesantren contributes to achieving the 4th and 5th SDGs. The learning system at Pesantren Al-Ikhsan has two systems, salaf and modern, which are interesting to research. Phenomenological studies are conducted to determine the perspective and learning process in pesantren.The results showed that gender construction is closely tied to social and religious norms that create expectations for certain provisions related to the roles and behavior of students. In pesantren, there are boundaries of interaction between men and women that reflect the values of modesty and honor. The results showed different gender perspectives based on education level and gender. Most students and teachers realize gender is a social construction related to binding roles. Furthermore, the results showed that pesantren have contributed to achieving SDG 4 (quality education) and implicitly socialized SDG 5 (gender equality) in the learning process. Regarding the learning process, Pesantren Al-Ikhsan has been adaptive by applying methods that integrate technology and social media. However, there needs to be more involvement of students, such as in deliberative activities, which are shown only for men with considerations based on Islamic religious teachings.

Authors:   Kemerovo State University, Burova Nadezhda V. , Prosekov Alexander Yu. ,   Kemerovo State University
Published: February 2024

The long geological history of the region, changes in marine and terrestrial deposits, and magmatic activity have determined the modern geological and geomorphological structure of the Kemerovo Region — Kuzbass, as well as the distribution of mineral resources. The aim of the study was to investigate the physico-geographical conditions of the Kemerovo Region — Kuzbass to carry out reclamation work. The main deposits of the region are located in the mountainous areas of the Kuznetsk Alatau, Salair, and Mountain Shoria. Combustible min­erals belong to a discontinuous belt in the central part of the region, where more favorable conditions for sediment accumulation are created. Kemerovo Region is characterized by di­verse geomorphological conditions and a varied climate. The main factors contributing to the climate include atmospheric circulation, relief, and vegetation. The combination of these fac­tors shapes the climatic characteristics of the region. Overall, there is a general pattern in the distribution of temperature and humidity. In the mountains of the Kuznetsk Alatau and Mountain Shoria, it is humid, but there is a deficit of warmth. The most favorable conditions have developed at the foot of the windward slopes of the Kuznetsk Alatau, where the soil is moist enough to provide warmth. Various soil coverings are formed on the territory of the Kemerovo Region, the majority of which are forest soils (brown soils and sub-brown soils, podzolic soils, gray forest soils). It has been established that based on the physico-geographical conditions in the territory of the Kemerovo Region — Kuzbass, it is advisable to carry out forestry, sanitary-hygienic, agricultural, recreational, and water management reclamation.

Published: February 2024

The Kaliningrad region is a unique constituent entity of the Russian Federation. In re­cent years, due to the global political and epidemiological situation, the recreational attrac­tiveness of the Kaliningrad region has significantly increased, thereby placing greater pres­sure on the coastal zone. However, there is a lack of research dedicated to assessing the vul­nerability of the coastal area. The practical significance of this study lies in the potential for further utilization of its results to evaluate and analyze the vulnerability of the coastline of the Kaliningrad region and make decisions on implementing a series of measures to protect and preserve the coastal zone. For the study, the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) methodology was selected, which is considered the most versatile compared to others but requires specific parameters for the studied object/territory. The research goal is to assess the vulnerability of the coastal zone on the Kaliningrad Oblast coastline. The CVI method represents a classic scoring system that allows identifying key areas and suggesting a series of measures to pre­vent the deterioration of the coastal condition.

Published: February 2024

This study explores the utilization and perceptions of emerging technologies in online medical education, with a focus on instructional tools and methods. The purpose is to assess the current landscape of technology integration, understand faculty and student perceptions, and identify potential applications for enhancing teaching effectiveness and promoting gender inclusivity. A quantitative research design was employed, involving a sample of 120 participants from three faculties: Medical, Pharmacy, and Stomatology. Data were collected through a structured online survey questionnaire, designed to gather information on demographics, technology utilization, teaching effectiveness perceptions, integration challenges, and opinions on gender inclusivity. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze quantitative data, while qualitative data from open-ended questions were analyzed thematically. The results indicate a significant utilization of emerging technologies in online medical education, with mobile learning and gamification being the most promising tools for teaching effectiveness. However, challenges such as technical support and resistance to integration were identified. Despite these challenges, participants generally perceived emerging technologies as effective in enhancing learning experiences, with potential for addressing gender disparities in medical education. In conclusion, the findings underscore the importance of leveraging emerging technologies to enrich online medical education, promote gender inclusivity, and enhance teaching effectiveness. Recommendations include providing adequate technical support and professional development for faculty, addressing resistance to technology integration, and further exploring the potential of emerging technologies in medical education.
Intercultural Communication Competence Among Higher Education International Students: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Xiaoyan Wang , Zainudin Sharifah Sofiah Syed , Yaakup Hani Salwah
Published: February 2024

The intercultural communication competence of higher education international students is critical in the multiple culture environment. Understanding how international students improve their intercultural communication competence is vital for providing effective training and teaching in higher education. However, there is a lack of systematic literature reviews on this topic, especially in quantitative methods. This study was dedicated to performing an exhaustive review of existing literature following the PRISMA-SCR guidelines. The findings revealed the absence of a consistent definition and measurement framework for ICC, which complicates the synthesis of research findings and the development of effective educational strategies. The implications of these findings are substantial for educational practices and policy development. They point towards the necessity of creating inclusive and empirically grounded ICC training programs, integrating ICC into international education policies, and providing comprehensive support for the cultural adaptation of international students.

Utilization of immediate postpartum family planning among women in Homabay and Vihiga Counties
Authors: Erick Odipo , Muhambe Cynthia , Odila Paul , Ndenga Alinda , Hassan Nyawanga  , Dan Rambo  , Veronica Musiega
Published: February 2024

Background: Family planning (FP) integration in other services is essential to address unmet FP needs among postpartum women and reduce the risks of short pregnancy intervals. Immediate postpartum family planning (PPFP) is an established high-impact practice. This study aimed to assess the uptake of immediate PPFP utilization before and after implementation in various project interventions. 
Methods: Capacity building of 276 health care providers was conducted in 100 facilities by 32 established FP mentors through facility-based mentorship, emphasizing quality counseling. PPIUCD sets were procured and distributed to 80 facilities. 165 health care workers were oriented on facility consumption data reports and requests (FCDRR) to improve commodity availability. Monthly FP dashboard meetings were held at the subcounty level. FP registers were availed in postnatal wards, and messaging and FP referrals were performed by community health volunteers. For voluntarism, FP compliance sessions were conducted with service providers, and PPFP quality improvement approaches were implemented in eight facilities.
Results: 927 and 542 women received immediate PPFP in Homa Bay and Vihiga Counties, respectively, accounting for 11% and 17% of women who delivered in the facilities. The proportion of women who delivered in the facilities received PPFP within 48 hours changed one year later, with 397 women or 3.8% of deliveries between October and December 2021. Health facility baseline assessment demonstrated gaps in the uptake of contraceptives in the immediate postpartum period, including inadequate counseling during antenatal care, lack of postpartum intrauterine device (IUD) insertion skills, lack of PPIUD kits, and lack of commodities and of reporting tools. 
Conclusion: The untapped demand for immediate PPFP can be met through targeted interventions to improve access and quality of the service.
Lipschutz ulcers – acute genital ulceration in a 17-year-old: A case report
Authors: Adongo Susan AD , Tracy Foran  , Sonia Grover
Published: February 2024

Background: The diagnosis of genital ulcers remains a challenge. Lipschutz ulcers are rare, painful, necrotic, and underdiagnosed lesions that are often found in nonsexually active adolescent females. The onset is acute and follows the prodromal phase of viral illness. Pathogenesis is unclear, but a hypersensitivity reaction to viral or bacterial infection leads to the deposition of an immune complex in the dermal vessels. The disease is self-limiting over two to six weeks. 

Case presentation: A 17-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department at the Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne with painful genital ulcers for five days and acute urinary retention for two days. This was preceded by a flu-like illness a week prior with associated body heat and polyarthralgia. The patient denied any history of sexual activity. There was no relevant medical history, no use of regular medication, and no history of trauma or sexual abuse. Perineal examination revealed “kissing” vulval lesions, 1 cm each, on the lower aspect of the labia majora. The lesions were symmetric with an erythematous border and a necrotic base. Sexually transmitted illness screening and her autoimmune profile were negative. Epstein-Barr virus IgG was positive and inflammatory markers were mildly elevated. Genital culture reported mixed anaerobes. The patient was catheterized, and administered local and systemic analgesia, steroid cream, and oral antibiotics. Wound care was instituted three times a day. She was discharged home after five days to complete medication once she was pain-free and able to pass urine.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of Lipschutz ulcer is an exclusion and other causes of genital ulceration such as genital herpes, sexually transmitted infections, and autoimmune diseases must first be ruled out. Healing without scarring is spontaneous, and management involves wound care, local and systemic analgesia, local corticosteroids, and antibiotics if there is evidence of secondary infection.
Christine de Pizan

In conversations on missing female voices in the traditional development of international law a repetitive argument given as an explanation for the absence of women as active designers and contributors to international law is that it was simply unusual to find women in certain professions at that time due to the assignment of gender roles and corresponding conduct and activities considered as adequate. There is certainly a great deal of truth in this explanation. Nevertheless, the argument that the absence of women was a normal side effect of the traditional social circumstances at that time could also serve as an excuse to overlook, ignore and make women invisible, who have actually played a crucial role as active designers of the international legal order. One of them is Christine de Pizan.
Response to the Study of “Zomia”: Reflections on the Ethnic History of China’s Borderlands in the Perspective of consolidating the Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Geng Jiaying
Published: February 2024

The so-called “Zomia” region proposed by James Scott puts forward a new research perspective on China’s ethnic history and frontier history, but at the same time, it also cuts China’s territory and the Chinese nation in history in the conceptual change and interpretation, which “conceptually” divides China’s territory and the Chinese nation, causing a great impact on the completeness and unity of China's frontier history. This “conceptual” division has greatly impacted the integrity and unity of China’s frontier history research. The practice of forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community in the teaching and research of history in colleges and universities is conducive to enabling researchers of related specialties to establish a correct view of ethnic history and frontier history, so as to cope with the challenges of the international academic community and to take the initiative in enriching the connotation and outer edge of the Chinese nation as a community.

Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Jin Xinghua
Published: February 2024

As a policy tool for reduction of carbon emissions, carbon tax has been implemented in many countries around the world. After “double carbon” strategic goal was put forward, it is the general trend for China to levy carbon tax. On the basis of clarifying the theoretical basis of carbon tax within the framework of political economy, this paper analyzes the nature and structure of China’s carbon tax, and put forwards a policy implementation path for promoting carbon tax collection. The research shows that, based on the negative value theory, carbon tax is a carbon pricing method with neutral fiscal revenue and expenditure; It takes greenhouse gases emitted in the process of social reproduction as the object of levying carbon tax, and the total amount of carbon tax revenue taxed at a certain rate is equal to the total amount of negative value of greenhouse gases; China should pay attention to the coordination of carbon tax, carbon emissions trading and environmental protection tax, and to the reasonable use of carbon tax revenue, actively participate in international cooperation, promote the formation of a reasonable border tax adjustments , and timely and steadily levy carbon tax.

Translation Study of Film Subtitles from the Perspective of Eco-translatology: Taking Chang An as an Example
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Zhao Kaili
Published: February 2024

Eco-translatology holds that, under the constraints of language, culture, and communication in the interactive context, translators should adapt to the translation ecological environment and choose translation strategies reasonably, in order to achieve translation ecological balance. As one of the genres of literary translation, film subtitle translation is also an effective way to promote Chinese culture to go global. Taking the film Chang An as an example, this paper discusses the application of the “three-dimensional transformation” of Ecotranslatology in subtitle translation. It points out that translators should not only consider the commonalities between translation of subtitle and general literature, but also adapt to its specificities, and pay attention to the transformation of the two languages in terms of linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions, so as to facilitate cross-cultural communication.
A Study on the Relationship between Foreign Language Learning Boredom and Foreign Language Academic Achievements
Authors:   Yixin Publisher, Zhou Yunyun
Published: February 2024

The “affective turn” and “positive turn” in applied linguistics have brought positive psychology into the field of SLA, making emotion studies a focal point. This study, framed within positive psychology and Complex Dynamic Systems Theory, analyzes boredom, the scores of college entrance examination and the English final exam scores for 369 non-English majors in Class B and 75 in Class C. Results indicate:1) Class C students’ foreign language learning boredom is significantly lower than Class B, while their English exam scores are significantly higher. 2) Class B students’ foreign language learning boredom is significantly negatively related to English exam scores. This study suggests that students with different language proficiency exhibit differences in foreign language learning boredom, and boredom negatively influences academic achievements. College English tiered teaching should align with the dynamic emotional development of students, fostering emotional intelligence to improve students’ academic achievements and personal well-being.
El martirio de la Iglesia de Zaragoza según la correspondencia entre el arzobispo Rigoberto Doménech y la Nunciatura de Madrid (1936 – 1939)
Authors: Arevalillo García Ismael
Published: February 2024

En este artículo presento la relación escrita que Rigoberto Doménech, arzobispo de Zaragoza, remitió al pro – nuncio apostólico, el cardenal Tedeschini,
al encargado de Negocios de la Santa Sede en España, Mons. Silvio Sericano,
y al nuncio, Mons. Gateano Cicognani, con el fin de comunicarles todas las
pérdidas humanas y daños morales y materiales, que habían sido ocasionados por los anticlericales en esta demarcación eclesiástica con motivo del
levantamiento cívico - militar del año 1936. El tercer documento citado es
más completo y se divide en cinco apartados: Cuestiones Generales, Personas, Cosas Sagradas, Otros Bienes de la Iglesia y Culto. A su vez, el lector
podrá apreciar cómo cada uno de los títulos principales se fragmentan en
una serie de cuestiones concretas que son contestadas con la mayor precisión
y detalle posible.
Estos escritos están datados, el primero el 24 de marzo de 1936, el segundo
el 9 de junio de 1936, y el tercero en noviembre de 1938. Son, a mi juicio,
una fuente de primer orden para conocer los sucesos descritos y que hacen
referencia a un periodo muy triste de nuestra Historia Eclesiástica.

El profeta Elías y la soledad en la defensa de Yahvé
Authors: Fleta Soriano Rafael
Published: February 2024

Elías aparece en el siglo IX a.C. como el profeta por excelencia en el Antiguo Testamento. Su defensa del yahvismo llega hasta el extremo de poder
considerarle el campeón del monoteísmo. Entre sus características destaco
una especial: todo el enfrentamiento contra el dios rival, Baal, lo hace desde
la soledad. A pesar de que se percibe que otros profetas existían en aquel
momento, solo aparece Elías llevando todo el peso de la defensa de Yahvé
hasta el extremo reprochar al pueblo el haberle dejado solo y de pedir la
muerte porque ya no soporta la presión.
