Published: June 2023

Learning at PPWNI Klang Malaysia is limited in many ways, one of which is the teaching staff. There are only 2 teachers so the teacher's role is not optimal, especially in the preparation of teaching media. On the other hand, learning mathematics for elementary school students still requires concrete media as a learning tool. Therefore it is necessary to provide training for teachers at PPWNI Klang Malaysia in preparing mathematics teaching media. In the context of efficiency and effectiveness of media preparation, media based on a contextual approach were selected. The output target of this service is an increase in the competence of teachers at PPWNI Klang Malaysia in preparing mathematics teaching media. Held directly at PPWNI Klang Malaysia every working day for a full month. Training is carried out after the implementation of learning in class. Followed by mentoring activities for the development of mathematics teaching media by teachers in groups. The result of this dedication is the increased competence of teachers at PPWNI Klang Malaysia in creating learning media, as evidenced by the media that has been created.

The lack of availability of adequate classroom reading corners and attracting students' attention has an impact on students' reading interest. This activity aims to implement the Class Reading Corner Surgery Program as an effort to improve student literacy in elementary schools. The method used is a participatory approach through collaboration between the activity implementation team, teachers, and students. The first phase was conducted an initial survey to evaluate the existing condition of the reading corner and based on the survey results, the reading corner surgery program was designed by involving physical renovation, procurement of new books, and development of interesting activities to improve students' interest and reading skills. The results of this program show a positive impact on significantly improving student literacy in elementary schools. After going through the process of renovation and procurement of books, the reading corner in the classroom becomes more interesting and comfortable for students. This Class Reading Corner Surgery Program not only focuses on the physical aspect, but also pays attention to the development of students' reading interest and reading skills. With this program, it is expected that students' literacy in elementary schools can increase significantly, having a positive impact on their learning and development.

Published: June 2023

ER is defined as a dosage form designed to release the medication in a controlled manner during an extended period of time, at a predetermined rate, duration, and location following administration. At steady state, the rate of absorption is approximately equivalent to the rate of elimination due to metabolism and excretion. ER (extended release) tablets shows the better patient compliance through reduction of frequency of dose administration and also maintain the therapeutic concentration over a long period of time it help to reduce the side effect of the drug and shows better effect. The ER tablet is very helpful to treat the chronic diseases. The objectives of this review are to discuss their advantages, classification and mechanism of extended drug release systems.
The Development And Formative Evaluation Of Instructional Materials And Procedures Designed To Teach The Concept Of Christian Witness
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Bietz Gordon
Published: June 2023

Problem The members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church must witness if they are to fulfill the Gospel commission and spread the three angels' messages. Two factors which may be hindering the development of an active lay witness are: (1) a lack of understanding about what witness really is and, (2) an inadequate understanding of how to witness. Methods The methods used were divided into three activities. The first was the review of theological and instructional literature toward the end of the development of instructional materials. The second activity was the use of these materials during which formative evaluation took place. The evaluation included in-process evaluation as well as the use of a class evaluation questionnaire and an interview procedure. The third activity involved an analysis of the information gathered for the improving instructional procedures and personal skill in teaching. Results The majority of the students reported the class as having been successful in meeting its objectives and aiding them in witness. Categories of statements that were most helpful in formulating ways to improve the instruction were: (1) those who suggested the need for more specific examples of witness experience, (2) those who appreciated the outlining of the essential facts of the Gospel for presentation to another, (3) those who found a closer relationship with Christ in the class. Conclusions The results of the formative evaluation suggest the direction to move in the future are: (1) the development of more specific examples of witness, (2) the development of teacher aids to guide teachers in instructing the students on the development of their own outline of the Gospel, and (3) the awareness of the teacher of the potential of the teaching of witness as a tool for leading students to Christ. From the author's personal experience it is suggested that instruction would be strengthened with more action-oriented instructional procedures to give the students opportunity for appropriate practice. It is also important that Academy Bible teachers need training in contemporary instructional theory.

Abstract                                                                                                                                                     Skin aging has both underlying and extraneous  factors. the outermost organ of the human body, the skin suffers from environmental damage to agents such as air pollution and cigarette smoking, the resulting skin aging is called extraneous aging, which is also known as photoaging or the exposure to sunlight via UV radiation. Retinoid  refers to the synthetic and natural analogues of vitamin A. Retinoids  are a class of compounds derived from vitamin A or showing structural and/or functional similarities to vitamin A. Retinoids as dermatological agents that are widely applied in cosmetics and effective against acne, psoriasis, skin aging, and other skin conditions. Their  susceptibility to degradation is a limiting factor for their widespread use, In other words; retinoid concentration in cosmetics is restricted, and one particular form–retinoic acid, is banned due to safety reasons. These include retinol, retinal, tretinoin (retinoic acid), isotretinoin, and alitretinoin, etretinate, adapalene, bexarotene, tazarotene, and Trifarotene.  The aim of this review is to introduce  the different uses of different types of retinoid in cosmetic and dermatological treatments.

Published: June 2023

The present study was carried out in the labs of Technical Institute –Al-Nasiriyah /Community Health Department and Nasiriyah Heart Center in Thi- Qar province, during the period of research  was extended from January to July 2022 . The aim of study was to determination polymorphisms of IL-6 gene in patients with Coronary Artery Disease and measuring its levels in serum using a technique enzyme-linked immune sorbent adsorptive  (ELISA). The study included a total of 100 Iraqi patients with coronary artery disease(CAD) and healthy control group their age between 3-85 years.  DNA has been isolated and PCR was performed by using primers specific for  genotypes of IL-6 gene  (572 C/G   and 174 C/G), the results showed that gel electrophoresis for amplified IL-6 gene of CAD patients, gel electrophoresis of 167bp (IL-6 572C/G) PCR products and 198bp PCR product(IL-6 174C/G). Frequency of genotypes for the IL6 gene showed a high frequency of GG genotype compared to the GC and CC genotypes in all study groups , the frequency of G and C allele in IL6 gene was 95 % and 5 %, respectively with significant differences between genotypes in various groups, in the patient group (90 %) had GC genotype, (10%) were heterozygote and had (0%) had CC genotype compare with control group, (100%) had GC genotype, (0%) were heterozygote and had (0%) had CC genotype. The immunological study showed that there was a significant increase of concentrations of (IL-6) in patients compared to the healthy  control group. Thus it seems There is no correlation between IL-6 gene polymorphisms and the risk of coronary artery disease in Thi- Qar province and the Serological Assay (ELISA) showed a significant increase in the concentration of IL-6  in patients with coronary artery disease compared with the healthy control group.
The Prevalence and the significance of the Pulmonary Bacterial Super-Infections among Hospitalized COVID-19 patients : A scoping Review
Authors: Musa Muslim
Published: June 2023

Mortality of any respiratory viral diseases usually attributed in part to other reasonse than damaging effect of the virus alone. One of these reasons is the bacterial superinfection. For this reason, this scoping review attamt to evaluate the significant conterbution of bacterial super-infection on the mortality among hospitalized COVID-19 patients and also to determine the true revalence of bacterial super-infections in that population. Accordingly, a  systematic search was employed with precise criteria on the  MEDLINE, SCOPUS, PUBMED, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR databases published in the English language in the period of three years from January 2020 to January 2023. The Prevalence of bacterial super-infection (BSI) among COVID-19 patients constitutes a point of contention among publications. this heterogeneity among publications came from the semantic dilemma of co-infection and super-infection. co-infection was determined to be found in a relatively narrow range (1.2-3.1%) while, Prevalence of bacterial super-infection among COVID-19 patients varied from 18.2 to 50%.  The bacterial super-infection appears to significantly increase COVID-19 mortality, with the Odd ratio ranging from 1.76 to 10.53 [CI 95%]. Bacterial super-infection among hospitalized COVID-19 patients represents a non-recognized threat, especially during the first wave of the pandemic. The Prevalence of bacterial super-infection is comparable with those observed in previous influenza and SARS epidemics. A significant contribution of bacterial super-infection, especially the pulmonary to mortality of COVID-19 patients, was observed clearly

Karol Irzykowski i „królewski łachman”. Przyczynek do nienapisanej książki o Polskiej Akademii Literatury
Authors: Zawiszewska Agata
Published: June 2023

Artykuł syntetyzuje rozproszone w relacjach wspomnieniowych i tekstach naukowych informacje: o roli Karola Irzykowskiego w prasowym sporze z lat 1918–1929 o projekty i statuty instytucji, które miały organizować życie literackie i chronić interesy zawodowe pisarzy (Polska Akademia Literatury, Izba Literacka), a także o jego pracy w Polskiej Akademii Literatury istniejącej w latach 1933–1939. Informacje te odsłaniają dynamicznie zmieniające się poglądy Irzykowskiego na Akademię, której projekty recenzował, statut współtworzył, a następnie odrzucił, powołanie jej do istnienia przyjął z rezygnacją, ale własną do niej nominację zaakceptował. Ostatecznie okazał się najbardziej zaangażowanym, a zarazem najmniej poważanym przez innych akademików członkiem tej instytucji.
W gościnie i u siebie. Karol Irzykowski w „Skamandrze”, „Ponowie” i „Krokwiach”
Authors: Okulicz-Kozaryn Radosław
Published: June 2023

W latach 1919–1922 Karol Irzykowski podejmował współpracę z trzema czasopismami literackimi: „Skamandrem”, „Ponową” i „Krokwiami”. Okoliczności i przebieg tej współpracy za każdym razem były różne, ale motywacja podobna – krytyk, po I wojnie światowej mieszkający na co dzień w Warszawie, próbował bowiem nie tylko zdobyć orientację w nowych, gwałtownie rozwijających się ruchach poetyckich, ale też uzyskać na nie wpływ. Uważał, że stanowią one – często nieuświadamianą przez ich uczestników – kontynuację awangardowych idei i eksperymentów sprzed wojny, w których brał wydatny udział. Dlatego skamandrytów i ich konkurentów z „Ponowy” obejmował wspólną nazwą Najmłodsza Polska. Od wszystkich wymagał najwyższej świadomości artystycznej wyrażającej się nie tylko w utworach, ale i w programach. Na charakterystyczną dla autorów „Skamandra” niechęć do ich formułowania zareagował słynnym artykułem polemicznym Programofobia. W „Ponowie” docenił skłonności programotwórcze, lecz miał wiele zastrzeżeń do praktyki związanych z nią poetów. Pomimo przynależności do komitetów redakcyjnych obu czasopism jawnie dawał wyraz swoim zastrzeżeniom do ich linii oraz zawartości, stając się dość osobliwym, starszym recenzentem, co prowokowało młodych autorów do ironicznych czy złośliwych reakcji. Inaczej wyglądała współpraca Irzykowskiego z założonym przez Romana Zrębowicza i udatnie nawiązującym do tradycji „Chimery” czasopismem „Krokwie”. Skupione wokół niego środowisko próbowało wylansować kierunek stworzony jeszcze w przedwojennym Lwowie, zwany konstrukcjonalizmem. Krytyk, który uczestniczył wówczas w zebraniach konstrukcjonalistów, sprzyjał ich zamiarom również po wojnie. W ich organie zamieścił rzeczy dla siebie szczególnie cenne: wiersze zmarłego przyjaciela – Stanisława Womeli – i esej Alchemia ciała. Można przypuszczać, że wiązał z „Krokwiami” nadzieje na rozwój twórczości własnej, dla której w „Skamandrze” i „Ponowie” nie znalazłby dogodnego miejsca. Niestety, po wydrukowaniu dwóch zeszytów Zrębowicz musiał zaprzestać wydawania swojego czasopisma.
Papier trwalszy niż kamień – o nagrobku Stanisława Żółkiewskiego napisanym przez Jakuba Sobieskiego
Authors: Barłowska Maria
Published: June 2023

Autorka przypomina dzieje anonimowego epitafium dla Stanisława Żółkiewskiego umieszczonegona jego nagrobku w Żółkwi, które paradoksalnie przetrwało jako tekst w zbiorze Szymona Starowolskiego Monumenta Sarmatarum. Wrękopisie (Biblioteka Zakładu Narodowego Sobieskiego – sławnego mówcy i ojca króla Jana III Sobieskiego. Autorka dokonała oceny argumentów przemawiających za tą atrybucją (opartych na charakterze manuskryptu, zwyczajach pogrzebowych, porównaniu z mową pogrzebową) i przyjęła autorstwo Jakuba Sobieskiego. Uwagi końcowe dotyczą legendy z dzieciństwa Jana III, związanej z sentencją Horacego, którą przyszły król miał czytać z nagrobka pradziada. Autorka sformułowała przypuszczenie, że przysłowie mogło być odczytywane z książki, w której – podobnie jak tekst nagrobka z Żółkwi – było zapisane epitafium z pomnika wzniesionego pod Cecorą.
Góry wołają i milczą. O antropomorfizacji, personifikacji i prozopopei
Authors: Dutka Elżbieta
Published: June 2023

Animizacje przypisujące górom wołanie lub milczenie są częstymi tropami w „literaturze górskiej”. W artykule za pomocą narzędzi topotropograficznych i geopoetologicznych zbadano przestrzeń kreowaną przez takie antropomorfizmy bądź personifikacje. Interpretacja wstępu do albumu Góry wołają. Wędrówka z obiektywem od Olzy po Czeremosz napisanego przez Rafała Malczewskiego pozwoliła wyodrębnić podstawowe funkcje i znaczenia mowy i milczenia szczytów. Na tej podstawie, a także w kontekście innych utworów, wyeksponowano ekokrytyczny wymiar animizacji gór i zasygnalizowano pojawienie się w piśmiennictwie o tematyce górskiej koniunktury na prozopopeję.
„Każda historia zaczyna się od mitu”. Proza Milady Součkovej w kontekście teorii nowego mitu Vàclava Navràtila
Authors: Woźniak Kamila
Published: June 2023

Niniejszy artykuł odnosi się do teorii nowego mitu opisanego przez czeskiego filozofa Vàclava Navràtila. Porusza kwestie jego odzwierciedlenia w twórczości przedstawicielki czeskiej awangardy literackiej Milady Součkovej. Nowa mitologia w ujęciu Navràtila była reakcją na kryzys lat trzydziestych i czterdziestych XX w. Filozof wielokrotnie podkreślał, że nowe czasy wymagają stworzenia nowej mitologii rozumianej w kontekście mitu dnia powszedniego. Według Navràtila współczesny mit rodzi się z codziennych, zwykłych wydarzeń. Navràtil połączył to z archeologią wspomnień i zapisywaniem nieskończenie małych chwil własnej egzystencji, które składają się na prywatną mitologię. Filozof wprowadził pojęcie czasu statycznego będącego rodzajem trwania. Czas statyczny i archeologię wspomnień łączy zaś nostalgia. Refleksje te są zbieżne z tekstami Součkovej, które zawierają zapisy prywatnych wspomnień nakładających się na pamięć kolektywną.
Imiona pokładów. Rola i znaczenie animizacji podziemi w „Pokładzie Joanny” Gustawa Morcinka
Authors: Tomczok Marta
Published: June 2023

Artykuł proponuje analizę animizacji występujących w powieści Gustawa Morcinka Pokład Joanny. W celu wyjaśnienia ich wysokiej frekwencji autorka stara się powiązać animizacje z reprezentacjami przyrody nieożywionej w powieści, zauważając, że dzięki nim abiotyczne środowisko staje się widoczne dla czytelnika i odzyskuje swoją sprawczość. W artykule zostaje także omówione podobieństwo animizacji do latentnej metonimii (w koncepcji Eelca Runii) oraz, przypominający odsłanianie podziemi, sposób analizowania animizacji, w którym bierze się pod uwagę częstotliwość ich występowania, grupowość, a także obrazy istot żywych tworzone przez te animizacje. Autorka analizuje kilka grup animizacji – od imion pokładów po metafory metanu, wody i ognia.

Published: June 2023

Climate change is negatively impacting the agricultural sector. This review focuses on the effects of climate change on mango pests and diseases, the unknown aspects of this problem, and possible mitigation measures. In addition, mango is susceptible to several pests and diseases infestation at all its stage of life. The major abiotic factors associated with climate change that affect mango pests and diseases include changes in precipitation, wind variability, increased temperature, increases in atmospheric CO2, and changes in light intensity. These factors affect mango pests and diseases in various dimensions in one way or another, including increased activity, growth, development, reproduction, distribution, and migration. These abiotic factors also influence plant growth, development, and reproduction. These interacting factors are complex, and further studies are needed to obtain relevant data to understand the relationships between these factors and pests occurrence. Developing predictive models from these data and intercropping with aromatic plants will be useful for strategies to mitigate the devastating effects of pests and diseases occurrence on mango crops and food security.

Los asentamientos humanos nacen y se desarrollan en ambientes propicios. A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad, las distintas sociedades han buscado ubicarse en zonas geográficas que les permitieran obtener del entorno los satisfactores básicos para la supervivencia, agua, alimentos, protección, gracias a los cuales se hace posible el crecimiento poblacional y el desarrollo de actividades productivas que permitan a los integrantes de las comunidades la producción e intercambio de satisfactores ya no tan inmediatos. Como efecto del crecimiento del número de habitantes y de las actividades económicas emprendidas por ellos, poco a poco el medio ambiente va perdiendo la capacidad de ofrecer todos los recursos que se necesita, y se crean situaciones complejas y conflictivas. El presente artículo examina uno de los casos más importantes en el momento actual, el de la Zona Metropolitana de Monterrey, una de las áreas más dinámicas en cuanto a producción industrial, que, sin embargo, está llegando al límite de sus posibilidades; se analiza el caso del Acueducto Monterrey VI, solución que se percibe como costosa, parcial y de corta vida para solucionar integralmente el problema del abastecimiento de agua.

У статті наведено результати комплексу робіт з визначення корозійної стійкості оболонок твелів тепловидільних збірок виробництва компанії «Westinghouse», виготовлених зі сплаву ZIRLO®, під час експлуатації протягом чотирьох паливних кампаній у реакторах ВВЕР-1000 АЕС України. Отримано та систематизовано масив експериментальних результатів з визначення товщини оксидної плівки за висотою оболонки твелів та показано, що максимальна товщина оксиду після четвертого року експлуатації знаходиться в межах 13...25 мкм. Під час проведення візуального контролю оболонок твелів оцінено їх корозійний стан та встановлено зв’язок зовнішнього вигляду їх поверхні з товщиною оксидної плівки. Отримані результати вимірювань товщини оксидної плівки на поверхні твелів нижче максимальної межі (60 мкм), встановленої на етапі проєктування та під час отримання дозволу на експлуатацію палива в активній зоні, та значно нижче максимальної проєктної межі (<101,5 мкм) для оболонок, виготовлених зі сплаву ZIRLO®. Згідно з результатами вимірювань, проведених на енергоблоці №3 ВП ПАЕС та енергоблоці №5 ВП ЗАЕС, можна стверджувати, що виготовлені зі сплаву ZIRLO® оболонки твелів мають високу корозійну стійкість під час експлуатації в умовах водно-хімічного режиму першого контуру реакторів ВВЕР-1000 АЕС України.

Енергію активації корозії сплаву ZIRLO® визначено на підставі результатів вимірювання товщини оксиду оболонок твелів на енергоблоці № 3 ВП ПАЕС та енергоблоці № 5 ВП ЗАЕС, а також, розрахованих параметрів експлуатації в умовах активної зони ВВЕР-1000. Значення енергії активації корозії сплаву ZIRLO® становить 27280 кал/моль для ВВЕР-1000, що вище, ніж для західних реакторів типу PWR (27080 кал/моль). Це свідчить про вищу корозійну стійкість такого сплаву в реакторах ВВЕР-1000.
Модернізація стратегій і систем управління аваріями на ядерних енергоустановках з їх повним тривалим знеструмленням

Published: June 2023

У сучасних екстремальних умовах експлуатації українських АЕС (особливо Запорізької АЕС) унаслідок зовнішніх воєнних впливів сталися десятки аварійних зупинок енергоблоків через повне або часткове зовнішнє знеструмлення. Повне тривале знеструмлення атомних енергоблоків стало однією з основних причин ядерної (важкої) та радіаційної аварії із катастрофічними екологічними наслідками на АЕС «Фукусіма-1» у 2011 році. Проведений раніше детерміністичний аналіз аналогічної аварії з повним тривалим знеструмленням енергоблоків з реакторами ВВЕР-1000 встановив неминучість виникнення ядерної аварії за умов перевищення гранично допустимої температури оболонок тепловидільних елементів ядерного палива. Перспективним підходом підвищення ефективності управління аваріями з повним знеструмленням ядерних енергоустановок є застосування аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом від парогенератора. Необхідною умовою впровадження такого підходу є кваліфікація аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом на надійність та працездатність у разі аварій з повним знеструмленням. У статті обґрунтовано критерії та умови кваліфікації аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом у перехідних і робочих режимах для забезпечення успішного виконання функцій безпеки щодо відведення залишкових тепловиділень від реактора та підтримки необхідного рівня живильної води в парогенераторі. На основі розробленої консервативної тепло-гідродинамічної моделі «реактор – парогенератор – аварійний живильний насос з паровим приводом» визначено конструкційно-технічні вимоги до системи аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом, які відповідають установленим критеріям та умовам кваліфікації. Встановлено, що ефективна працездатність аварійного живильного насоса з паровим приводом від парогенератора обґрунтована для перших 10 діб після повного знеструмлення. Отримані результати можуть бути застосовані під час модернізації стратегій та систем управління аваріями з повним тривалим знеструмленням атомних енергоблоків.

“We don’t talk about Trauma”: El Salvadorians and Community Trauma
Authors: Carranza Mirna E. , Moffatt Ken , McGrath Susan , Lee Bill
Published: June 2023

This article draws upon data from a Canadian study funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. The focus was on how trauma has been experienced by three communities who have been historically marginalized: The El Salvadorian community, Indigenous peoples and those identifying as 2STLGBQIA+. The focus of this article is on the Salvadorian diaspora in Canada, which has the shared experience of historical colonial trauma; on-going coloniality leading to civil war; and poverty, leading to forcible displacement. The latter resulted in re-negotiating their lives in the diaspora and transnationally in El Salvador. As with Indigenous and 2STLGBQIA+ communities, Salvadorians in Canada share experiences of multiple oppressions and marginalization based, in part, on perceptions of belonging and worth, rooted in racism. Exploring notions of community development as it exists in diaspora communities must include a history of war, resettlement and marginalization that contribute to trauma at the community level.

 
Troubled Masculinities: Reimagining Urban Men
Authors: Moffatt Ken
Published: June 2023

In the contemporary urban environment, the once-dominant concept of a ‘masculine’ identity is being replaced by alternative ideas of what it means to be a man. Troubled Masculinities explores and theorizes the ways in which men who experience marginalization in urban settings reimagine and reconstruct their identities as males.

Through personal narratives and assessments of artistic expression, the contributors present critical and inventive views of masculinity and how it is performed and interpreted in urban space. Set against the backdrop of Toronto, the essays engage with the global and transnational processes that affect identity and consider how the social hybridity of large cities allows individuals to work against fundamentalist and essentialist attitudes toward gender.

The contributors represent diverse backgrounds, races, ethnicities, sexualities, and gender orientations and they offer unique perspectives on conforming to and breaking away from traditional interpretations of masculinity. The essays in this volume explore the effect of race on one' s own understanding of gender identity, the role of performance and visual art - from screen printing to drag king shows - in challenging hegemonic masculinities, and the impact of space - from bubble tea houses to punk rock clubs - on expressions of masculinity.

Troubled Masculinities is an important contribution to the growing field of masculinity studies and a valuable assessment of the nature of gender in a modern Canadian urban setting. The collected essays will appeal to a wide audience, from social scientists and artists to activists and general readers.

In A Poetics of Social Work, Ken Moffatt considers the epistemological influences in the field of Canadian social work and social welfare from 1920 to 1939. Here, modernist constructs of knowledge are explored through the analysis of the thought of leading social welfare practitioners, namely Dorothy Livesay, Carl Dawson, Charlotte Whitton, and E.J. Urwick. These four figures represent a wide cross-section of Anglo-Canadian social thought at two of Canada's most influential universities (McGill and Toronto), and Moffatt's study of their thinking reveals the presence of a diversity of approaches to social work and social change during this period.

By challenging the notion that human values and humanitarian concerns were abandoned in favour of science, empirical findings, and technical interpretation of authoritative knowledge, the author attempts to expand the concept of the social work knowledge base and explores how social work emerged as a profession in Canada. Moffatt's study presents a broad context for analysis, and provides fascinating reading and source material for those interested in history, philosophy, literature, and biography, as well as social work and the social sciences.

The child welfare system has a responsibility for maintaining young people’s safety and permanency when they are taken from their guardians. Many young people living in out-of-home care (OOHC) experience placement instability, which can negatively impact their development. The overrepresentation of Black families in the child welfare system has also been a longstanding issue across North America, where Black families are more likely to be involved with the child welfare system, receive poorer quality of placements, remain in care longer, and are less likely to reunify with their families. Given the known negative impacts of placement instability and the disparities experienced by Black families, these concerns may be more urgent for Black youth in care. This article shares the findings from a qualitative narrative analysis conducted on 27 interviews with Black Caribbean youth who have lived experiences navigating OOHC in Ontario’s child welfare system. Utilizing Critical Race Theory and Anti-Black Racism Theory as theoretical frameworks, three main narratives were identified: (1) difficult behaviors during placement transitions; (2) disposability; and (3) a pursuit of safety and belonging. These narratives capture the phenomenon of Black youth navigating placement instability in OOHC. Implications for policy, practice, and research are discussed.

Wunderlich syndrome is a rare condition characterized by atraumatic spontaneous renal hemorrhage that can have serious associated complications, especially in chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease patients due to their complexity. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, since its classical presentation with Lenk’s triad is only seen in less than a quarter of patients. Early detection is of outmost importance because of this syndrome potential for causing hemodynamic instability and shock. Spontaneous renal hemorrhage has been reported much less frequently in peritoneal dialysis as compared to hemodialysis. To our knowledge, only 3 single-cases involving peritoneal dialysis patients were published since the year 2000. We describe an uncommon case report of a 68-year-old male undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for 5 years and taking warfarin for permanent atrial fibrillation who developed Wunderlich syndrome presenting with Lenk’s triad. The patient was managed with percutaneous drainage of the renal hemorrhage and was able to continue peritoneal dialysis in the acute phase of disease. Unfortunately, he subsequently developed peritoneal membrane failure having to transition to hemodialysis 2.5 months after the WS episode. The authors will review literature on Wunderlich syndrome on end-stage kidney disease patients, discuss oral anticoagulation on peritoneal dialysis patients, maintenance of the technique, and finally, address the consequences of Wunderlich syndrome on peritoneal membrane diffusion capacity.

Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC), cancer of the tubules of the kidneys, has historically been one of the most difficult cancers to treat due to its ability to remain hidden in the body for longer than other cancers and its tendency to resist traditional forms of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, both traditional and nontraditional treatments of RCC have seen both significant biomedical advancements and clinical instances of use in recent years. In this review, we analyze five treatments of RCC: Nephrectomy, Immunotherapy, Anti-Angiogenesis, Chemotherapy, and Radiation Therapy, providing background on their mechanisms and clinical outcomes. Through our review of studies of clinical outcomes, we reaffirm the existing thought that nephrectomy remains the most effective treatment for RCC, while radiation therapy and chemotherapy are generally less effective and not recommended for treatment on their own. Immunotherapy and anti-angiogenic therapy have been shown to be effective treatments in the modern healthcare landscape and show great potential for the future as the techniques are better developed and optimized.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between corporate social responsibility activities and financial performance of medical corporations using financial statement data. There are various research results analyzing the effect of social responsibility activities of for-profit corporations on financial performance. Many of the preceding studies claim that there is a positive (＋) relationship between corporate social responsibility activities and financial performance. However, results that are in a negative (-) relationship or are not related have also been reported. so the debate on whether there is a causal relationship between the two variables keeps going on.. On the other hand, there are few prior studies on the relationship between social responsibility and financial performance of non-profit corporations. For analysis, financial statements data from 2016 to 2020 of domestic general hospitals were used. Social responsibility activities substituted by social work expenses and financial performance substituted by total asset return have a significant negative (-) relationship, which can be interpreted as having a negative impact on financial performance as social responsibility activities are increased. The results of this study are meaningful in that they for the first time analyzed the impact of social responsibility activities on financial performance using accounting data at a condition when research on social responsibility activities of medical institutions is limited.

For a very long time, a section of western society has viewed that the Muslim community as the ‘racial Other’. Mashuq Ally (2011) argues that this notion is the result of the Western lopsided perception towards the non-whites and even more so when it comes to the Muslim women. Being the second Other (Beauvoir, 1949), Muslim women have to counter inaccurate notions about their perceived gender oppression as well as the lack of agency (to hear their voices). According to the Western feminist framework, Muslim women in hijab (the veiled women) are deemed as the victim of oppression and backwardness. Using Islamic feminism and postcolonial feminism theories as propounded by Asma Barlas, Leila Ahmed, and Margot Badran, the findings reveal that the framework (ijtihad and tafsir of Holy Quran and Hadith), have aptly supported the justification of the main character’s act in donning of the hijab as a symbol of Muslim identity that represents emancipation and empowerment.

Published: June 2023

The article considers the concept of «business risk», discloses the types and methods of its assessment and presents possible ways to reduce it. It has been established that business risk characterizes the specifics of the activity of a business entity to overcome the uncertainty of the situation of an inevitable choice, during which it is possible to assess the probability of achieving the desired result, failure and deviation from the goal. The level of influence of the risk of entrepreneurial activity on the results of the functioning of a business entity is expressed depending on the factors of its external and internal environment. The authors found that it is expedient to carry out the analysis of business risks through their qualitative analysis, as a result of which risks are identified, described and classified, and the reasons for their occurrence are analyzed. Quantitative analysis of business risks will allow you to calculate, evaluate and predict possible business risks. The method of influencing business risks will help reduce business risks or completely neutralize them. The process of managing business risks and their main stages has been studied. As a result, managerial decisions are made to protect the results of entrepreneurial activity from the consequences of situations caused by risks, control of results from the onset of business risks, their reassessment and adjustment through the adoption of operational management decisions. The main methods for assessing business risks are presented. It has been determined that the ways to reduce the impact of business risks on entrepreneurial activity can be: directly reducing the amount of damage arising from business risk; creation of appropriate conditions under which it is possible to quickly respond to the consequences of the realization of business risks; transfer of responsibility for the possible occurrence of risk to third parties; distribution of risk between participants jointly carrying out entrepreneurial activities; business risk insurance; reservation of funds necessary to cover unforeseen expenses by eliminating partial risks; reduction of risks due to their financing.
