Instagram Stories and Personal Branding Among Communication Students at Mercu Buana University
Authors: Nandira Adisty  , Yanti Nur Fitri
Published: June 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of utilizing Instagram Stories on personal branding among students of the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Mercu Buana University in Jakarta. A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method was employed in this study. The population consisted of active undergraduate students of the 2016 cohort in the Communication Studies program, with a sample of 171 respondents obtained through proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate a positive and significant influence of Instagram Stories utilization on students' personal branding, with a regression coefficient of 0.900, a determination coefficient of 66.9%, and a t-value greater than the t-table value (18.334 > 1.65392). These findings confirm that Instagram Stories can potentially be utilized as a means to build effective personal branding for students through the posting of engaging content that reflects their personality and embraced values. However, it is important to note that personal branding is not solely influenced by the use of Instagram Stories but also by other factors such as consistency, audience interaction, and a profound understanding of personal branding strategies.

REVIEW: THE ROLE OF HERBAL AS A THERAPY FOR ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES: NARRATIVE REVIEW
Authors: Astuti Febriana , Akrom  , Capritasari Rafiastiana
Published: June 2024

Atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and aging are examples of cardiovascular illnesses, the pathogenesis of which is affected by endothelial dysfunction. Many patients with cardiovascular disease already use herbs or combine herbs with medications prescribed by doctors. Herbs have emerged as alternative treatments for health maintenance. Herbs are in increasing demand by patients and health professionals. An overview of the role of herbal plants, their active substances, and their mechanisms of action as therapies for endothelial dysfunction to prevent the worsening of cardiovascular disease is presented in this review. The research was carried out by reviewing published scientific papers using online sources, such as PubMed and Google Scholar. Herbs can be used as a therapy for endothelial dysfunction to prevent the worsening of cardiovascular disease through various mechanisms, including inhibition of oxidative stress through the COX-2 and NOX2 pathways, inhibition of NADPH oxidase, inhibition of ROS formation through Src/EGFR/Akt, and increasing nitric oxide (NO) production by activating eNOS. The benefits and potential of herbal plants in dysfunction therapy to prevent cardiovascular disease need to be further developed for plants that grow widely in Indonesia. Furthermore, it is necessary to develop mechanisms for other targets, such as immunomodulatory therapy, to prevent cardiovascular disease from worsening.

Authors: Andriansyah Ivan , Ambaga Liling Dwi , Pratama Reza , Muttaqin Fauzan Zein
Published: June 2024

Lampung Province has 3 areas that produce coffee: West Lampung, Tanggamus, and Waykanan, which can produce 51,484 tons of coffee annually. The high demand for coffee and limited harvest are some factors that cause the addition of adulterants to coffee products such as corn, soybeans, rye, coffee beans, and rice. This study aims to detect rice adulterants in Lampung robusta coffee using the FTIR spectrophotometric method combined with chemometric analysis using the PCA (Principal Component Analysis) method. FTIR spectrophotometric method combined with chemometric analysis using PCA (Principal Component Analysis) method. The PCA method was validated using the cross-validation method. Samples were taken from 3 Lampung coffees on the market. The extraction process was carried out on Lampung coffee and Lampung rice from 3 regions using 96% ethanol. After concentrating, the coffee and rice extracts were measured using FTIR and read in the 4000-650 cm-1 wave number range. Different wave number curves were obtained between coffee and rice. A pre-processing chemometric analysis was performed, which resulted in the classification of Robusta coffee and rice using PC1 and PC2 (50% and 24%). The results of PCA analysis showed that PC1 and PC2 in the three Lampung coffee samples, samples A and C, did not contain adulterants, while sample B was suspected of containing white rice.

Introduction. Patients with osteoarthritis not only ask about the impact of weight on their symptoms, but also the impact of food. This includes foods that are described as either inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. The aim of our study was to investigate the possible relationship between food and osteoarthritis symptoms. Methods. The study was based on a questionnaire and it was conducted on patients undergoing osteoarthritis treatment in our department between February and September 2022. Results. We included 322 patients with a mean age of 59.57 ± 10.71, of whom 72.9% were women. The median duration of osteoarthritis was 4 years [2-10]. Only 7.9% reported that food affected their symptoms, with 4.4% experiencing improvement and 3.5% experiencing aggravation. The foods most often cited as improving joint symptoms were fish (1.2%), ginger (1.2%), and olive oil (1.2%), while red meat (1.2%) and soda (0.9%) were the most often cited as worsening symptoms. Approximately 2.2% of the patients exhibited food avoidance behaviors, while 3.7% adhered to specific diets and 1.3% tried fasting to alleviate joint symptoms. In this multivariate analysis, we suggest that certain diet practices have an impact on osteoarthritis symptoms. Conclusion. Our study found that only a minority of patients reported associations between some types of food and worsening or improving joint symptoms.

Published: July 2024

У статті визначено актуальність проблеми насильства над жінками в неблагополучних сім’ях та розкрито напрямки соціальної допомоги їм та профілактики ускладнення наслідків у сім’ї. Схарактеризовано феномен насильства над жінками відповідно до фізичного, психологічного, сексуального та економічного спрямувань. Розкрито зміст поняття і статус «неблагополуччя» сім’ї, що пов’язано з конкретною ситуацією існування сім’ї, від якої залежатиме сутність процесу формування особистості. Зазначено причини неблагополуччя сімей, як-от психологічні, педагогічні, правова неграмотність, алко- та наркозалежність членів сім’ї, економічна нестабільність, безробіття, нерозуміння життєвих цілей і засобів їх досягнення, а також обґрунтовано їх вплив на ризик та скоєння насильства над жінками в неблагополучних сім’ях. Виявлено та розкрито зміст першопричин насильства відповідно до ретроспективного огляду проблеми та з урахуванням думок прибічників психологічних теорій та теорій соціальної причинності. Акцентовано, що причини насильства множинні й визначаються сукупністю взаємопов’язаних чинників. Підкреслено можливість впливу одних на вирішальне значення інших у неблагополучних сім’ях. Доведено потребу кваліфікованої допомоги жінкам, які стали жертвами домашнього насильства, фахівцями в галузі соціальної роботи, соціальними педагогами, психологами тощо. Соціальний захист жінок, зокрема в неблагополучних сім’ях, представлено як цілісну систему соціальної профілактики, що базується на чітко сформульованих принципах і нормативно-правових актах. Обґрунтовано можливості та доцільність соціальної профілактики насильства над жінками в неблагополучних сім’ях; виявлено зміст і мету її трьох рівнів – первинного, вторинного, третинного. Окреслено ресурси розвитку й удосконалення профілактичної діяльності щодо попередження насильства над жінками в неблагополучних сім’ях. Зроблено висновки, що ефективності соціальної роботи з жінками, які стали або потенційно можуть стати жертвами насильства, сприятиме комплекс профілактичних заходів із превенції жорстокого поводження з ними чоловіків та напрямки роботи з подолання наслідків домашнього насильства над ними в неблагополучних сім’ях.

У статті представлено статистичні дані щодо кількості учнів, які нині навчаються за дистанційною, сімейною та змішаною формами здобуття освіти. Проаналізовано рівень кадрового забезпечення та педагогічного навантаження вчителів в умовах війни. Важливе значення в таких умовах має впровадження інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій не лише в процес шкільної освіти, а й у процес підготовки вчителів до викладання навчального матеріалу, представлення звітів своєї роботи, у процес їх професійного розвитку, оновлення інформації з навчальних предметів, адже без ґрунтовних знань і умінь швидко й якісно використовувати ІКТ сьогодні не можна підготуватися до уроків повною мірою та підтримувати високий рівень уваги й зацікавленості учнів. Під час підготовки до уроку з використанням інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій та інформаційно-цифрових ресурсів учителю важливо пам’ятати, що варто сформувати план уроку, виходячи з його мети і завдань. Під час добору навчального матеріалу варто дотримуватися основних дидактичних принципів, зокрема системності та послідовності, доступності, а також диференційованого підходу. При цьому комп’ютер є лише доповненням роботи вчителя, а не його основним інструментом для проведення уроку. Завдяки інформаційно-цифровим ресурсам відбувається індивідуалізація навчання, з огляду на інтелектуальні можливості кожного конкретного учня, контроль, підведення підсумків й оцінювання рівня засвоєного матеріалу, що відбувається швидко, об’єктивно та вчасно. Автором представлено структуру та складові інформаційно-комунікаційної компетентності працівників освіти, аспекти діяльності, які можна виконувати швидше та якісніше завдяки використанню ІКТ. Також окреслено переваги й недоліки їх застосування у сфері освіти.

Background: Mature granulosa cell tumour (GCT) is a rare neoplasm. it accounts for about 1-2% of all ovarian tumours. Even more infrequent is the coexistence of GCT with mature cystic teratoma in the same ovary.
Case presentation: A 53-year-old woman with constipation, abdominal swelling, and pain presented to our gynaecology clinic. Physical examination revealed a distended abdomen, ascites, cystocele, stress incontinence, and external haemorrhoids. A cystic teratoma co-existing with a granulosa cell tumour was diagnosed histologically. Adjuvant chemotherapy containing Cisplatin [75mg/m2] and Docetaxel [75mg/m2]) was completed, followed by radiotherapy. She has been clinically stable for two years and is currently on long-term follow-up to forestall recurrence.
Conclusion: The coexistence of mature granulosa cell tumour (GCT) with mature cystic teratoma especially in the same ovary is an extremely rare pathology. Although total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy are the treatments of choice in postmenopausal and perimenopausal women, these may not always be feasible owing to the nature of the presentation. Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy may be beneficial as high cases of recurrence have been reported. Follow-ups are strongly advocated due to the recurrence that can occur even as late as 20 years following the removal of the primary neoplasm.
NET DÖVİZ POZİSYONUNUN FİRMA KARLILIĞINA ETKİSİ: BİST UYGULAMASI
Authors: Akman Mehmet , Okuyan Hasan Aydın
Published: June 2024

1970'li yıllarda Bretton Woods sabit kur rejiminin sona ermesi ve 1980'li yıllardan sonra gittikçe artan döviz kuru riskleri ülke ekonomilerini makro boyutta etkilediği gibi firmaları da mikro boyutta etkileyen önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Hayatın her alanında olduğu gibi ekonomi ve finans alanında da küreselleşmenin etkisiyle uluslararası sermayenin dolaşım hızı artmış bunun neticesinde firmaların finansman yapılarında yabancı paranın önemi gün geçtikçe hız kazanmıştır. Bu durum ulusal ekonomilerin yanındamikro bazda firmaların da döviz kuru riskine maruz kalmalarına sebep olmuştur.
Bu çalışmanın amacı firmaların net yabancı döviz pozisyonlarının karlılık üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada örneklem olarak Borsa İstanbul’da işlem gören bankalar hariç BİST 30 hisseleri seçilmiştir. Bankaların hariç tutulmasının sebebi son yıllarda kurdaki yüksek dalgalanmalardan dolayı merkezi otoritenin kur rejimi ve bankaların döviz pozisyonlarında çok sık düzenlemeler getirmesidir. Araştırmaya konu olan firmaların 2013- 2022 yıllık net döviz pozisyonları TCMB yılsonu kurları esas alınarak TL bazında panel regresyon analizi yapılarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın bağımsız değişkeni firmaların net döviz pozisyonu oranı olurken bağımlı değişkeni ise aktif karlılığı olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın veri setini 2013/12-2022/12 dönemine ait 10 yıllık veriler oluşturmakta ve finnet.com.tr, matriks.com.tr ve TCMB EVDS sitelerinin veri tabanından sağlanmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde yabancı para net pozisyonu ile firma kârlılığı arasında anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişkinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir.
ELEŞTİREL TEORİ ÜZERİNE GENEL BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Dilekli Karatay Zeynep
Published: June 2024

Eleştirel Teori (Frankfurt Okulu), Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Fromm gibi önemli isimlerin bir araya gelerek modernizm ve onun pratiklerine yönelik eleştirel yaklaşan bir gelenektir. Eleştirel Teori’nin savunucuları özellikle Aydınlanma eleştirisinden hareketle, pozitivizm, kültür endüstrisi, sosyoloji, Marxizm, gibi alanlarda da eleştirilerde bulunmuşlardır. Eleştiri noktalarının tamamının temel referans çekirdeği ise modernizme yönelik yaklaşımlarından filizlenmiştir. Eleştirel Teori, Marx’ı yeni bir okumaya tabi tutmuştur. Fakat Marx ekonomik araçları ve üretim süreçlerini içeren alt yapıya odaklanırken Eleştirel Teori düşünürleri, din, ideoloji, kültür gibi unsurları barındıran üst yapıya ağırlık vermiştir. Teori, aydınlanmanın bireyi özgürleştirme vaadini yerine getirmediğini ve bireyi özgürleştirmek yerine daha pasif bir konuma sürüklediğini belirterek bunu eleştirmiştir. Bu çalışma Eleştirel Teori’nin oluşumunu, tarihsel gelişimini, kurucularını, çalışma alanlarını ve eleştirdikleri temel noktaları referans alarak genel bir değerlendirme yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra Eleştirel Teori’ ye yönelik yapılan eleştirilere de yer verilerek konunun kapsamı genişletilmektedir. Çalışma Eleştirel Teori’nin oluşumu ve tarihçesi, önemli temsilcileri, temel yaklaşımları ve eleştiri alanlarını içeren başlıklardan oluşmaktadır.

CBT Intervention Post-2023 Southeast Türkiye Quake: A Case Study
Authors: Çınaroğlu Metin
Published: June 2024

This case study investigates the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in an individual survivor of the catastrophic 2023 Southeast Türkiye Earthquake. The study aims to provide detailed insights into the therapeutic process and outcomes of CBT applied in a post-disaster context. A 38-year-old female survivor, pseudonymously named Serpil, participated in an eight-week structured CBT program specifically tailored to address her severe PTSD symptoms following the earthquake. The therapeutic interventions included exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and relaxation techniques. Data collection was achieved using quantitative methods such as the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), supplemented by qualitative assessments through detailed therapy session notes and Serpil’s personal reflections. The intervention led to significant improvements in Serpil's PTSD symptoms, particularly a reduction in the frequency and severity of nightmares and flashbacks. Serpil reported enhanced coping mechanisms, which improved her overall psychological resilience and functionality. The data illustrate a notable decrease in PTSD symptomatology, corroborated by scores from CAPS and BDI, indicating an overall improvement in mental health and quality of life. This case study underscores the potential of CBT as a potent intervention for managing PTSD in survivors of natural disasters. It highlights the necessity of integrating specialized psychotherapeutic techniques in disaster response initiatives to address the psychological impacts effectively. The findings advocate for broader implementation and evaluation of similar interventions across diverse post-disaster settings to confirm these results and optimize treatment protocols. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods is recommended to enhance the generalizability and understanding of CBT's long-term effectiveness in disaster-stricken populations.
Impact of Non-Performing Assets on Financial Health of Banks
Authors: Kanimozhi V. , Ganesh Muthu
Published: July 2024

The banking sector is a crucial financial service industry that supports development plans by channelling funds for productive purposes, facilitating the flow of funds from surplus to deficit units, and aiding in the implementation of government financial and economic policies. Banks fulfil social objectives through priority sector lending, extensive branch networks, and employment generation. Maintaining asset quality and profitability is essential for the survival and growth of banks. However, a significant challenge faced by the banking sector is the prevalence of Non-Performing Assets (NPAs). The Reserve Bank of India defines an NPA as “an asset, including a leased asset, that ceases to generate income for the bank.” Major causes of NPAs include wilful default, misuse of borrowed funds, and inadequate pre-loan inquiries. As of June 30, 2018, the Gross NPA of Indian banks was ₹10.03 lakh crores, with Public Sector Banks accounting for 88.74% of this total. The top five Public Sector Banks—SBI, PNB, IDBI, BOI, and BOB—make up 46.67% of the Gross NPAs. Private Sector Banks hold 11.26% of the total Gross NPAs, with leading banks being ICICI, AXIS, and HDFC. The primary aim of this paper is to examine the causes and effects of NPAs in the banking sector.

La tendresse comme vecteur de transformations et de symbolisation, de la survie au rêve
Authors: Tigrane Tovmassian Laurent
Published: July 2024

En partant de son expérience avec la clinique du traumatisme extrême, l’auteur essaie d’offrir une métapsychologie alternative du concept de Tendresse. Sa rencontre avec la clinique de la terreur, de la sidération et de la détresse l’a amené à questionner le rôle de l’environnement dans la symbolisation de l’expérience traumatique. L’environnement remis en jeu en séance, avec ses dynamiques transférentielles et contre-transférentielles, permet à l’auteur de clarifier sa conception de la tendresse, comme un pont entre l’auto-conservatif et le psychosexuel, permettant la transformation de l’expérience traumatique et sa symbolisation. La clinique l’a amené à travailler l’étayage entre auto-conservatif et psychosexuel, l’auto-clivage narcissique selon Ferenczi, les questions de symétrie/asymétrie dans la relation psychothérapeutique ainsi que les dimensions de reconnaissance, d’illusion et de Subjectalisation. Des illustrations cliniques permettent de représenter la nécessité de la tendresse du thérapeute dans des moments d’impuissance et de détresse partagées par les protagonistes en séance. La tendresse est décrite comme le fruit de l’intersubjectivité, initiant l’introjection d’un objet-refuge. Elle est vectrice de reconnaissance, de transformation et de symbolisation. Elle peut être comprise comme ce qui permet de sortir du clivé traumatique autrefois nécessaire face à la détresse, en convoquant le soin reçu par le thérapeute, introjecté par lui en un temps précoce et partagé en séance.
S’adopter
Authors: Martens Francis
Published: July 2024

Ce que Freud a nommé Hilflosigkeit et Laplanche « désaide » se trouve au cœur de la maladie humaine. C’est la tâche – et d’abord la formation – du psychanalyste, de pouvoir rejoindre cette détresse originaire là où elle s’exprime. Un moment d’adoption mutuelle vient sceller cette rencontre au plus près des origines. Toute en souplesse, cette adoption donne la parole aux sentiments négatifs sans mettre en péril la relation. Sándor Ferenczi, le petit Hans et la petite Piggle peuvent en témoigner.
Adhésion d’une femme issue de l’immigration maghrébine à la umma de Daech : entre défaillance des imagos parentales et défaut d’accordage avec la mère-patrie
Authors: Daoudi Sarah , Skandrani Sara , Pommier François
Published: July 2024

Cet article interroge, à l’aide d’une trajectoire singulière issue de la clinique des auteurs, le lien entre la construction des imagos parentales chez une femme française issue de l’immigration maghrébine et son adhésion à l’idéologie religieuse radicale de Daech. Il s’agit plus précisément d’entrevoir les échecs et les impasses de l’institution familiale et sociale et la manière dont cette jeune femme s’est saisie de la Umma (la communauté des musulmans dans le monde) – dont la racine Um signifie en arabe « mère » – pour rompre avec la France et construire une nouvelle famille au sein de l’organisation terroriste de Daech. Cette analyse permettra de faire des hypothèses cliniques quant à la défaillance des fonctions maternelles et paternelles dans la construction d’un devenir femme et de mettre en lumière l’absence ou l’exclusion du tiers et la tentative de séparation avortée menant vers des positions radicales. Un extrême qui ramène à une fusion avec le corps maternel à travers la Umma et le groupe des sœurs musulmanes.
Verd na Ljubljanskem barju, kolišče iz 5. tisočletja pr. Kr.: stratigrafija in arheološke najdbe
Authors: Velušček Anton , Horjak Šuštaršič Mojca
Published: June 2024

V prispevku so predstavljeni stratigrafski podatki in analiza arheoloških najdb, predvsem keramike, s kolišča Verd, odkritega leta 2022 na zahodnem robu Ljubljanskega barja.
Rezultate preučevanja stratigrafskih podatkov in arheoloških najdb je v povezavi z izsledki arheozooloških, arheobotaničnih in dendrokronoloških analiz dodatno potrdilo radiokarbonsko datiranje, ki naselje okvirno postavlja v 47. stoletje pr. Kr., bržčas celo pred kolišče Resnikov prekop iz okolice Iga na drugem koncu bazena.

Na Savski cesti 10 v Kranju so arheološka izkopavanja leta 2010 razkrila tri gradbene faze prazgodovinske poselitve. Ob bogatih keramičnih najdbah so bili iz vsake faze ohranjeni tudi ostanki lesenih stavb. V štirih jamah za sohe, ki pripadajo dvema stavbama, so bili najdeni kosi lesenih brun, ki so omogočili dendrokronološke analize in radiokarbonsko datiranje.
Osrednji del prispevka obsega tipološko študijo keramičnega posodja. Ta je na podlagi primerjav z najdbami z drugih najdišč pokazala, da ima območje ob Savski cesti, podobno kot druge lokacije v Kranju, največ vzporednic med gradivom iz časa stopenj Ljubljana II in IIIa oz. Ha B3 in Ha C0 (v srednjeevropskem smislu). Opredelitev je nadgrajena z absolutno datacijo ostankov brun. Ta kaže, da je stavba 1A iz prve faze nastala v prvi polovici 8. st. pr. n. št. in stavba 2 druge faze najverjetneje na začetku druge polovice 8. st. pr. n. št.

Rimskodobno naselje Praetorium Latobicorum je ležalo ob pomembni itinerarski cesti Aquileia–Emona–Neviodunum–Romula–Siscia, na območju današnjega Trebnjega. Ime je dobilo po okoliškem prebivalstvu, keltskih Latobikih, ki so naseljevali tudi prostor Trebnjega. O vlogi beneficiarne postaje pričajo itinerarji, miljniki in epigrafski spomeniki.
Članek obširneje obravnava jami, v kateri so bili ob gradnji novih objektov položeni posebej izbrani predmeti. Gre za zavetna zakopa simbolnih predmetov za zaščito doma in uspešno poslovanje. V preprosti jami ob livarski delavnici so bili deli hitre tehtnice, vilice za žar in krožnik, vsi predmeti izvirajo iz zgodnjerimskega obdobja. V drugi jami so bili dragocenemu kipcu Herkula pridani kuhinjski lonci, bronast zvonček, železen ključ in kamnit brus. Ta zavetna daritev je bila vkopana v 4. st. ob objekt pralnice (fullonica) ali celo barvarne (tinctoria), v katerem so se poleg številnih novcev ohranili tudi železni stilusi in delavniške svinčene etikete (tesserae plumbeae).
Archaeobotanical analysis of the judgement samples from research of Stare gmajne, an Eneolithic pile-dwelling site: mosses, vessel contents and the analysis of the wooden artefacts
Authors: Tolar Tjaša , Matika Dolores
Published: June 2024

The archaeobotanical research of the Stare Gmajne pile-dwelling site included analyses of samples taken from moss remains and vessel contents, as well as wood anatomical analyses of several wooden artefacts and charcoal pieces.The moss of two forest species and other macroremains provide evidences of human diet and gathering as well as surrounding vegetation in the Eneolithic (3521−3366 cal BC). The results show the inhabitants collected wild plants and cultivated crops, with six cultivars identified. For the wooden artefacts, they show the bow was made of yew and the rings of hazel. They also reveal significant differences between the two excavated trenches and between different stratigraphic units. Further research of the systematically sampled sediments will address questions concerning the possibility of detecting changes in water levels and the location of the Eneolithic settlement. What is already clear is that the organic remains in the present-day Ljubljansko barje soil are highly endangered.
Naselbine iz bronaste dobe v Prekmurju
Authors: Kerman Branko
Published: June 2024

Članek obravnava poselitev Prekmurja v bronasti dobi na podlagi do zdaj odkritih naselbin in grobišč ter zaobsega čas okrog 1500 let. Prehodno obdobje iz bakrene v zgodnjo bronasto dobo v Prekmurju označujejo naselbinske ostaline iz kulture Somogyvár-Vinkovci. Sledi poselitev kulture Kisapostag v zgodnji bronasti dobi, ki se je v Prekmurju zaključila s horizontom pramenaste oz. licenske keramike na prehodu v srednjo bronasto dobo. Iz zgodnjega obdobja srednje bronaste dobe so bile v Prekmurju doslej odkrite le ostaline naselja na najdišču Pod Kotom – sever. Iz obdobja pozne srednje bronaste dobe in zgodnje pozne bronaste dobe pa izstopa največje naselje Pod Grunti – Pince. V pozno bronasto dobo sodijo ostaline naselbine na Novi tabli, plani žgani grobovi v Goricah pri Turnišču, depo kovinskih predmetov na najdišču Pod Kotom – jug, pred kratkim odkrita višinska naselbina na Sotinskem bregu ter grobišči na Tišini in Gornji Bistrici.

V članku je predstavljeno grobišče Sumerje pri Gornji Bistrici, odkrito ob gradnji daljnovoda na trasi Cirkovce–Pince. Na izkopnem polju velikosti 40 × 40 m je bilo odkritih 80 žganih grobov. V pripravi je obširnejša monografija o grobišču, z nekaterimi analizami, ki še niso končane, zato je tu v celoti predstavljenih le nekaj izbranih grobov, dodana pa je tipološka opredelitev celotnega gradiva z osnovnimi podatki o grobišču. Uvrstimo ga lahko v čas mlajše in pozne kulture žarnih grobišč, v ruško žarnogrobiščno skupino (stopnje Ha B1 do Ha B3 po Müller-Karpejevi shemi). Ker se grobišče iz izkopnega polja širi na vse štiri strani, bi ga po velikosti domnevno lahko postavili ob bok velikim poznobronastodobnim grobiščem v Sloveniji, kot so Ruše, Pobrežje, Ljubljana, Dobova in Obrežje.

Penser la rencontre de visions du monde plurielles à travers le didactisme de la science-fiction d’Alexandre Bogdanov
Authors: Drobot Tatiana
Published: June 2024

Les romans de science-fiction d’Alexandre Bogdanov se construisent autour de confrontations de deux mondes, qui disent chacun à la fois un ethos, une capacité d’appréhension du monde et un état de connaissances. Les révolutions politiques, culturelles et épistémologiques que vivent ses héros se nourrissent de ces rencontres de mondes. Nous verrons comment, d’abord par la mise en scène de différentes situations d’apprentissage et le choix de l’apprenant comme interlocuteur modèle, l’auteur fait de ses œuvres de fiction un cadre fécond pour penser les enjeux de l’apprentissage et de la transmission de savoirs. L’ambition didactique première illustrée par des schémas narratifs typiques des récits philosophiques se heurte à l’hypothèse empiriomoniste de l’auteur, qui pose des contraintes empiriques fortes à la transmission du savoir. À travers ses expériences de pensée, il présente les limites au pouvoir didactique du texte littéraire et du récit en général. Il souligne, ce faisant, les enjeux didactiques et épistémologiques de la science-fiction, tout en annonçant les limites de ce qu’elle peut faire. Il propose une métapoétique d’une littérature dont le rapport au langage oscille toujours entre celui de la science et celui de l’art littéraire, soulevant des questionnements sociolinguistiques sur des problèmes de traductologie dans sa fiction.
Des lendemains incertains : immersion dans l’imaginaire du futur des adolescents. Étude sur l’intégration de la science-fiction et de la réalité virtuelle en enseignement des arts dans les écoles secondaires québécoises
Authors: Lalonde Martin , Wuyckens Géraldine
Published: June 2024

Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche portant sur le recours à la réalité virtuelle (RV) en enseignement des arts visuels et médiatiques dans un projet invitant des adolescents à produire un récit d’anticipation sur le monde dans 1000 ans. Basé dans la méthodologie interventionniste de la recherche design en éducation, le projet Mondes de demain réunit des chercheurs et des praticiens de terrain en éducation pour la réalisation d’une expérience immersive et interactive en RV basée sur un récit en science-fiction produit par les jeunes. Cette étude vise à apporter des solutions aux problématiques du manque de ressources didactiques pour aborder la RV et du manque d’assises théoriques pour soutenir un enseignement de et avec la science-fiction dans les écoles secondaires québécoises. L’article effectue un compte rendu du déroulement du projet sur le terrain et démontre ensuite comment les adolescents ont utilisé les codes des environnements vidéoludiques pour créer des récits qui ont mené leurs pairs à vivre une immersion empathique. Les résultats présentés révèlent que les procédés narratifs de la SF, tels que le novum, sont pertinents pour développer des compétences numériques et médiatiques des jeunes et que le recours aux procédés de l’immersion et de l’interactivité de la RV ont augmenté les capacités éducatives de la SF à susciter une critique et une contextualisation d’enjeux sociaux complexes et d’avancées scientifiques et technologiques.
« Le sexe faible (?) » : les femmes et le space opera dans le magazine Amazing Stories d’Hugo Gernsback
Authors: Matzke Brian S.
Published: June 2024

L’article explore la représentation des femmes dans les opéras spatiaux publiés dans Amazing Stories par Hugo Gernsback. L’auteur examine comment les personnages féminins sont souvent dépeints comme des figures stéréotypées, fréquemment présentées comme passives et faibles. L’article analyse également le rôle des femmes dans ces récits de science-fiction, mettant en lumière les tendances sexistes et les implications culturelles de leur représentation. En examinant ces aspects, l’article offre un aperçu critique de la manière dont les femmes étaient dépeintes dans la science-fiction de l’époque et de leur impact sur la perception des genres littéraires.
HAND GRASPS RECOGNITION USING SINGLE-CHANNEL TRANSIENT-STATE SURFACE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY
Authors: Alnuman Nasim , Abdullah Muhannad , Haddad Merna , Ma’touq Jumana
Published: June 2024

The need to perform large hand-grasping strategies in daily life has promoted the development of robotic hands and prosthetic hands that mimic natural ones. This work presents a system for the detection of 10 basic hand grasps in healthy subjects based on single-channel transient-state Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals. The studied grasps are large diameter, ring, knife index finger, writing tripod, power sphere, precision sphere, prismatic pinch, lateral, extension type, and parallel extension grasp. Signals were collected from 10 healthy volunteers using three sEMG electrodes connected to an Electromyography (EMG) shield using MATLAB as data acquisition software. The signals were classified using three different classifiers, i.e. [Formula: see text]-Nearest Neighbors ([Formula: see text]-NN), Diagonal Linear Discriminant Analysis (dl-DA), and Random Forest (RF). The used features were mean absolute value, integrated absolute value, variance, root mean square value, waveform length, Willison amplitude, slope sign change, zero crossing, autoregressive coefficients, and mean frequency. The results show that good classification accuracy is achieved when classifying a reduced number of grasps using a single-channel transient-state sEMG. The average accuracy for the different classifiers varied from 41.5% to 53.3% when classifying 10 grasps and from 78.4% to 91.9% when classifying five grasps using two features as a trainer. It is found that transient-state sEMG signals are efficient in the detection of different hand grasps, reducing the time to generate control signals and the number of channels.
Stabilization of β-Catenin Directs HEB to Limit Thymic Selection

Published: July 2024

Activation of β-catenin in CD4+CD8+ double-positive (DP) thymocytes halts development before the thymic selection stage and predisposes to transformation. Leukemogenesis, but not the developmental block, depends on TCF-1, β-catenin’s DNA-binding partner. In this study, we show that β-catenin activation directs the DNA-binding protein HEB to block DP thymocyte development. Conditional loss of HEB in DP thymocytes with stabilized β-catenin restores the frequencies of postselection TCRβhi/CCR7+ and TCRβhi/CD69+ DPs and their cell-cycle profile. This recovery is associated with significant reversal of β-catenin-induced expression changes, particularly those related to the CD69+ DP cell signature and to cell-cycle pathways. Stabilizing β-catenin in DP thymocytes directs HEB binding to ≈11,000 novel DNA sites throughout the genome. Novel HEB sites mark most CD69+ DP cell signature genes that change expression upon activation of β-catenin and then revert after loss of HEB. Moreover, many of the novel HEB sites occupy promoter regions of genes enriched in mitotic cell cycle pathways. HEB binding to those regions correlates with downregulation of the associated genes, and HEB inactivation restores expression to physiologic levels. These findings highlight a molecular interplay between HEB and β-catenin that can impair thymic development.
