The Effect of Remittances on Economic Expansion and Poverty Reduction: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Raza Muhammad Haroon
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the impact of remittances on economic growth and poverty reduction in Pakistan. The research aims to empirically examine the relationship between remittances, economic expansion and poverty reduction. Using data from 1980 to 2021, sourced from the World Bank, the study employs the Augmented Dickey-Fuller test to assess the stationarity of variables. The results indicate that all variables are stationary, using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach for analysis. The ARDL bound test confirms a long-term relationship between the variables. In the context of economic growth, the study finds that remittances have a positive and significant impact, with a 1% increase in remittances associated with a 0.26% rise in GDP. However, the study observes a negative impact of foreign direct investment on GDP. Regarding poverty reduction, the results suggest that remittances have a negative and insignificant effect on poverty, with a 1% increase associated with a 0.53% decrease in poverty. Granger causality tests reveal unidirectional causation between remittances and economic growth and between remittances and poverty. The findings underscore the importance of remittances in influencing economic growth and poverty reduction in Pakistan. Recommendations include policies to enhance remittances' positive impact on economic growth and poverty alleviation. The study's implications extend to policy recommendations, emphasizing the potential benefits of remittances in fostering economic growth and poverty reduction. Policymakers are encouraged to consider remittances' positive impact when formulating sustainable development strategies. Additionally, the research contributes to the existing literature by providing insights into the nuanced relationships among remittances, economic growth, and poverty alleviation in Pakistan.
Music Therapy by Proxy: Using Humanised Images in Song
Authors: Chambers Carol
Published: July 2024

Developing awareness, exploration and expression of emotionally sensitive issues can be difficult for some clients in music therapy. They may find it hard to express emotion through improvised music and may turn instead to the perceived security of the repetition of known songs.
This paper presents the results from a completed research PhD, a qualitative case study based on naturalistic clinical practice, which examined the song choices of one woman in a medium-secure forensic unit over the three-year course of her music therapy.
A descriptive narrative account was subjected to analysis according to a modified form of therapeutic narrative analysis (Aldridge and Aldridge 2002), resulting in the abstraction of a series of generative metaphoric images, framed within a chronological series of events. Crucially, these images were found to be humanised figures, yet they were also emotionally decentred or depersonalised. When approached from the philosophical and methodological perspective of behaviourism, which views these as conditioned responses associating music with life experiences as part of a process of developing self-identity, such images can be seen to provide an unspoken voice for the client’s feelings to be expressed in a manner that is personally revealing, socially acceptable, culturally accessible and therapeutically constructive.
I assert that using these third-person characters as a form of proxy facilitates mutual reference and experimentation, and places music firmly at the heart of a socially constructed process of music therapy.
What Happens When the Musicians Leave? Case Study of a Jessie’s Fund Project to Develop Teachers’ Skills and Confidence
Authors: Northey Tom
Published: July 2024

This article describes a project delivered by Jessie’s Fund, a UK charity which supports children through music therapy and creative music work. The project took place between January and July 2012 and involved staff and pupils from a special school in the north of England. The article describes briefly how music is delivered in special schools across the UK and explains some of the challenges Jessie’s Fund has faced in having a lasting impact on how schools cover the music curriculum for children with complex needs. In 2012 Jessie’s Fund partnered with a special school in the north of England to design a new approach which focused intensively on the development needs of staff. Jessie’s Fund musicians visited pairs of staff over a period of six months to build their skills and confidence in leading music sessions with their pupils. The project was considerably more effective than some previous ‘musician-led’ activities and had a significant, whole-school impact. This article describes the work that took place, the responses from the staff involved and how Jessie’s Fund intends to use this learning for future projects.
Emotion, Embodied Mind and the Therapeutic Aspects of Musical Experience in Everyday Life
Authors: Van der Schyff Dylan
Published: July 2024

The capacity for music to function as a force for bio-cognitive organisation is considered in clinical and everyday contexts. Given the deeply embodied nature of such therapeutic responses to music, it is argued that cognitivist approaches may be insufficient to fully explain music’s affective power. Following this, an embodied approach is considered, where the emotional-affective response to music is discussed in terms of primary bodily systems and the innate cross-modal perceptive capacities of the embodied human mind. It is suggested that such an approach may extend the largely cognitivist view taken by much of contemporary music psychology and philosophy of music by pointing the way towards a conception of musical meaning that begins with our most primordial interactions with the world.

Published: July 2024

The development of the modern sphere of technologies ensures active implementation of various types of innovations in the activities of modern companies. If innovations are rationally planned, they can have a positive impact on the financial stability of business and the economy as a whole. At the same time, Ukrainian innovation activity has a huge unrealised potential, which can be realised under more favourable external conditions and high-quality planning of the specifics of innovation implementation. The purpose of the study is to summarise approaches to determining the relationship between innovation and financial stability of modern business. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve a number of urgent tasks, in particular: to determine the scale of innovation activity of modern business in the world and in Ukraine; to outline the key tasks that can be solved by innovative tools if they are implemented in business activities; to specify the directions of ensuring financial stability through the introduction of innovations. The research was based on an in-depth review of more than 50 scientific sources, including articles indexed in leading scientometric databases. The study found that the global innovation market is at the stage of active development, while Ukrainian enterprises are not currently realising their full innovation potential due to unfavourable environmental conditions. The study also identifies the tasks that can be solved by innovative tools, provided they are implemented in business activities. It is determined that the application of digital marketing tools and the use of social networks to promote products allow expanding the audience, which can have a positive impact on the development of the financial stability system. Working with data, planning, and processing data using the latest technologies can also have a positive impact on financial stability. A separate link is the optimisation of business processes (financial, production, procurement, etc.) using the latest information management tools (artificial intelligence, big data, cloud technologies), which can improve the information component of financial stability.
Exploring Perspectives on Socialist and Alternative Thinking: Critiques of Capitalism in Social Philosophy
Authors: Kozlovets Mykola , Maraieva Uliana
Published: July 2024

This paper is devoted to the study of the critique of capitalism in the context of social philosophy using modern approaches. The aim is to identify the essence of the critique of capitalism, as well as to analyse and compare different theoretical approaches to it. This study in the critique of capitalism used various methods, including philosophical analysis and critical theory, and conducted empirical research. The literature review included materials from databases such as WOS, Scopus, and Google Scholar. For the bibliometric analysis, 50 sources were used for the period 2018-2024.  The results showed that the identification of the conflict between “critical sociology” and “sociology of criticism” helps to identify key aspects of critical thinking and its role in modern society. Scientific research into the prospects of socialist and alternative thinking in the context of criticism of capitalism in social philosophy is highly relevant and polemical. The paper reveals that the critical approaches of “critical sociology” and “sociology of criticism” differ in their methodologies and concepts of criticism. The former is aimed at analysing the causes and mechanisms of criticism of the social system through the epistemological gap, while the latter focuses on the formal and normative aspects of criticism of actors through the principle of symmetry. Thus, the new philosophy reveals the conflict between these approaches due to their differences in understanding the essence of criticism and its manifestation in public life. Based on the analysis of current research, it can be concluded that further research is needed to develop these concepts and resolve the conflict between them.

THE MUSLIM DIASPORA’S NATIONALISM AND IDENTITY IN KAMILA SHAMSIE’S HOME FIRE
Authors: MOHAMMED ABOU ADEL  , MOHAMMAD ISSA ALHOURANI  , GEORGIOS KORMPAS
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with Kamila Shamsie’s novel Home Fire to explore the profound social and psychological aspects and identity conflicts Muslim immigrants face in the West, especially in Britain. The importance of this paper is to express the conflict that the Muslim expatriate experiences in his relationship with the West and explore the reasons that affect their tolerance and coexistence. The paper’s problem manifests in exploring significant facets of human interactions, including tolerance, the increasing migrations from Islamic nations to non-Muslim countries, and the challenges arising from identity, religion, and race, which expose migrants to significant perils. The Method uses a social theoretical framework that intersects with the psychological approach. It investigates how both the original and new environments affect character development and individuals' psychological, developmental, and cognitive dimensions in the Muslim Diaspora. It aims to understand the reasons behind involvement in terrorist organizations and also examines the citizenship rights of Muslim Diaspora members. Finally, the paper concludes by presenting the most prominent results, which collectively illustrate that the aggressive style of fiction has influenced the presence of paranoia in literary criticism, leading to an exaggeration of the crimes of others and justification of the self. This is not conducive to objective and neutral analysis, so adopting a more moderate and neutral approach is recommended to allow for open discussion and acceptance of differing viewpoints. This approach should address questions of identity and national belonging.

Oxytocin massage has proven effective in reducing the risk of mastitis in breastfeeding mothers by helping the breasts to relax and improving milk flow, thereby reducing swelling and milk duct blockages. Education on proper breastfeeding techniques is crucial to prevent worsening conditions and increasing the risk of mastitis. This community service activity aims to provide education and oxytocin massage training to posyandu cadres in the Puskesmas Pancana Makassar area. The community service method involves direct guidance from trained facilitators to the cadres, which includes proper and safe massage techniques as well as understanding the benefits for breastfeeding mothers, while cadre participation is documented and analyzed to evaluate the impact of the training on increasing knowledge and skills in oxytocin massage techniques and mastitis prevention. The results of this activity show that oxytocin massage training effectively enhances the practical skills of posyandu cadres, with 80% of cadres achieving good skills after the training compared to only 10% before the training, thus contributing to the prevention of mastitis and improving the quality of health services at posyandu. Integrating oxytocin massage into posyandu cadre training programs is crucial in preventing mastitis, enhancing maternal mental health, and strengthening the emotional bond between mother and baby. Therefore, this training not only improves the practical knowledge of cadres but also has a significant positive impact on supporting family health and well-being at the community level.

Published: July 2024

The microstructural evolution of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy under different stress and aging temperature was studied using cold compression and heat treatment. The relationship between the process parameter and the microstructure of the material was analyzed by OM, EBSD, and TEM. The results showed that the grain size decreased and the recrystallization fraction increased with the increase of compression. Textures of <111>||X (cubic), <110>//Y, Goss have higher intensity after solution treatment, but their intensity and proportion also decrease with the increase of compression. η' is the main precipitate in the alloy aged at 140 °C, while η is the main precipitate in the alloy aged at 160°C. Precipitation coarsening and grain refinement affect the microhardness of the alloy together.
Variability in Practice of Buprenorphine Treatment by Emergency Department Operational Characteristics
Authors: Comstock Grant , Truszczynski Natalia , Michael Sean S. , Hoppe Jason
Published: July 2024

Introduction: We sought to describe emergency department (ED) buprenorphine treatment variability among EDs with varying operational characteristics. Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with opioid use disorder discharged from 12 hospital-based EDs within a large healthcare system as a secondary data analysis of a quality improvement study. Primary outcome of interest was buprenorphine treatment rate. We described treatment rates between EDs, categorized by tertile of operational characteristics including annual census, hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates, ED length of stay (LOS), and boarding time. Secondary outcomes were ED LOS and 30-day return rates. Results: There were 7,469 unique ED encounters for patients with opioid use disorder between January 2020–May 2021, of whom 759 (10.2%) were treated with buprenorphine. Buprenorphine treatment rates were higher in larger EDs and those with higher hospital and ICU admission rates. Emergency department LOS and 30-day ED return rate did not have consistent associations with buprenorphine treatment. Conclusion: Rates of treatment with ED buprenorphine vary according to the operational characteristics of department. We did not observe a consistent negative relationship between buprenorphine treatment and operational metrics, as many feared. Additional funding and targeted resource allocation should be prioritized by departmental leaders to improve access to this evidence-based and life-saving intervention.
Compartment Syndrome Following Snake Envenomation in the United States: A Scoping Review of the Clinical Literature
Authors: Newman John , Therriault Colin , White Mia S. , Nogee Daniel , Carpenter Joseph E.
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Local tissue destruction following envenomation from North American snakes, particularly those within the Crotalinae subfamily, has the potential to progress to compartment syndrome. The pathophysiology of venom-induced compartment syndrome (VICS) is a debated topic and is distinct from trauma/reperfusion-induced compartment syndrome. Heterogeneity exists in the treatment practices of VICS, particularly regarding the decision to progress to fasciotomy. Associations with functional outcomes and evolution in clinical practice since the introduction of Crotalidae polyvalent immune Fab (FabAV) have not been well deﬁned. Our goal was to identify the potential gaps in the literature regarding this phenomenon, as well as illuminate salient themes in the clinical characteristics and treatment practices of VICS. Methods: We conducted this systematic scoping-style review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Records were included if they contained data surrounding the envenomation and hospital course of one or more patients who were envenomated by a snake species native to North America and were diagnosed with compartment syndromefrom 1980–2020. Results: We included 19 papers: 10 single- or two-patient case reports encompassing 12 patients, and nine chart reviews providing summary statistics of the included patients. In case reports, the median compartment pressure when reported was 60 millimeters of mercury (interquartile range 55–68), 66% underwent fasciotomy, and functional outcomes varied. Use of antivenom appeared to be more liberal with FabAV than the earlier antivenin Crotalidae polyvalent. Rapid progression of swelling was the most commonly reported symptom. Among the included retrospective chart reviews, important data such as compartment pressures, consistent laboratory values, and snake species was inconsistently reported. Conclusions: Venom-induced compartment syndrome is relatively rare. Existing papers generally describe good outcomes even in the absence of surgical management. Signiﬁcant gaps in the literature regarding antivenom dosing practices, serial compartment pressure measurements, and functional outcomes highlight the need for prospective studies and consistent standardized reporting.

Published: July 2024

Abstract. The present talk deals with properties of a quantum particle interacting with a potential having the form of a potential ‘ditch’, or an array of potential wells; we discuss how can be the geometry of the potential support reflected in the spectrum of the corresponding Hamiltonian. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions under which a bend of such a potential guide or array gives rise to a non-empty discrete spectrum; we employ different techniques: the Birman-Schwinger method [1,3] or a direct variational argument based on construction of a suitable trial function [2]. We also address the problem of ground state optimalization in case of loop-shaped configurations [3,4].

Towards an Integrated Model for Orienting Preservice Science Teachers for 21st-Century Teaching
Authors: Mutseekwa Christopher
Published: July 2024

This conceptual paper builds the case for orienting preservice science teachers for 21st-century teaching on a footing of Miller et al. (2013) framework for science teacher preparation called the Model of Research-Based Education for Teachers (MORE for Teachers). MORE for Teachers frames science teacher preparation as anchored on four pillars: in-depth subject matter, research-based science teaching methods, guided practicum, and a shared vision of the pedagogy of science learning. Based on the limitations of Miller et al.'s linear model yet still maintaining the value of its central tenets the paper proposes a model that is interactive and framing standards in science teaching, curriculum development, rigorous content, research-based science methods course, and quality field experiences as the essential aspects for producing teacher candidates with the right skills for science teaching. The paper argues that pre-service science teachers (PSTs) development in teacher education colleges and universities requires a framework for harmonization that ensures consideration of all the necessary ingredients for science teacher preparation. Drawing on a diversity of literature sources on science teacher education the paper discusses the application of the proposed model in Zimbabwe, illustrating the importance of detailed methods courses, rigorous science content, expert mentoring, personal teaching philosophy, and a consideration of international trends in science teaching.  In conclusion, the paper recommends other contexts in which the integrated model for science teacher preparation can be used and some steps for its practical implementation.

Authors: Mendoza Laila R. ,   Elementary Grade Teacher I, Bgnay II Elementary School, Sariaya, Quezon, 4322
Published: July 2024

The study aimed to determine the level of professional competencies and identity towards the performance of beginning teachers mediated by the support system. The main tool used in the study's descriptive methodology to collect data was a questionnaire. The study included contributions from ninety-five (95) Sariaya West District school teachers. For the statistical analysis of the data, percentage and mean were employed. The study found that most beginning teachers have highly competent professional competencies in social, self-management, communication, and leadership skills. Surveyed respondents also have highly observed motivation, commitment, and self-efficacy were observed. The school provides high mentoring and technical assistance support while the support system moderates. Performance is satisfactory in advisory tasks, coaching, teaching strategy, and classroom assessment. Professional competencies and identity levels are not significantly related to the support system and performance. The researcher recommended that school administrators update teachers' profiles with seminars and trainings attended, provide mentoring sessions, and attend workshops on professional competencies and identities. Parallel studies, action research, and quarterly activities can improve teachers' performance. Attending workshops can also enhance professional growth and development.

This study targeted a total of 181 pages of prostitute-related documents, including all prostitute-related documents for [Records of Gisaeng and Prostitute] and 3 pages of [Agenda on Gisaeng and Prostitute Regulation Enforcement Instructions] that did not exist in the original copies and were newly discovered during the preliminary research. Then, this study examined each document and reorganized them based on the time sequence of documentation for a precise and detailed clarification on the details and process of changes in the policies that the Resident-General enforced on the prostitute, who was a professional prostitute during the late Korean Empire.
First, the Resident-General ordered a head pimp to make a petition in June to July 1908 to establish the Gyeongseong Gisaeng and Prostitute Association as a preparation step to implant a licensed prostitution system to the Korean Peninsula. However, the “Petition on Foundation of Gyeongseong Gisaeng and Prostitute Association” ended as an agenda without official approval.
Secondly, in September 1908, the Resident-General enacted a series of prostitute-related laws and regulations, including the “Prostitute Regulation Law” and “Terms of Compliance Regarding Prostitute Business,” to establish a legal and political system to control and manage the Korean prostitutes in a modern way.
Third, in October 1908, the Metropolitan Police Department of the Resident-General reminded the laws and terms of compliance to the prostitutes and people related to the licensed prostitution system and reported to Resident-General Ito Hirobumi and Vice Resident-General. The Resident-General of Korea also enacted the guidelines and detailed guidelines to be aware of and conducted by the Japanese police officers of each local police station. It also arranged and confirmed the formats for reporting operation, closure, address change, etc., of prostitutes.
Fourth, the Resident-General commenced the establishment of system for “Hanseong Prostitute Association” as the first legal prostitution organization of the Korean Peninsula from April 1909. In August and September 1909, it intensively invested legal and political intentions, including “Order and Approval on Hanseong Prostitute Association,” “Final Approval of Hanseong Prostitute Association Regulations,” “Composition of Hanseong Prostitute Association Directors and Its Approval,” and “Composition of Hanseong Prostitute Association Clinic’s Japanese Doctor, Nurse, Accountant, Clerk, and Interpreter and Its Approval,” to complete the system of “Hanseong Prostitute Association”as the beginning of the licensed prostitution system in the Korean Peninsula.

It can be difficult for the building sector to strike a balance between structural soundness and cost-effectiveness. Builders may sacrifice important structural components to cut costs, endangering the stability and safety of structures Substandard materials in construction can lead to issues such as lower-grade concrete, inferior steel, inadequate masonry, compromised integrity, and improper substitutions. This paper uses a case study of construction building collapses to examine the effects of cost-cutting methods on structural integrity. This study used a mixed-methods approach to investigate a sequence of building collapses and analyze the elements that contributed to the collapses, including construction processes, material quality, and adherence to safety rules. The research attempts to clarify the complex link between cost-cutting strategies and structural failures by using quantitative assessment of structural flaws, and interviews with industry experience. The results show how the recurring theme in these incidents is poor construction practices the lack of quality control with a mean value of 5 and the use of substandard materials with a mean value of 4. The least recurring factor is inadequate waterproofing with a mean value of 3. The highest implication is the safety risk (5) followed by economic consequences (4). The work recommends mitigation risk as a rigorous quality control followed by the use of high-quality materials. Also recommended are timely maintenance and repairs and enhanced design review processes. Keywords: Cost-cutting measures, Structural integrity, soundness, Building Project, Safety.

Aims: to provide a scientific and practical justification for the use of Raman fluorescence spectroscopy in the early express-diagnostics of laryngeal cancer. Patients and methods. A total of 83 patients with a diagnosis of laryngeal cancer were examined. The spectra of the intact mucous membrane of the larynx, the anatomical structures of the larynx in cancer and precancer were analyzed. The individual features of the bands of Raman scattering of light and fluorescent signals in intact tissues, in case of dysplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were evaluated. To compare the data of Raman fluorescence spectroscopy, the histological method was used in this study. The study evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of the method. To take the spectra, a laser setup was used using both fluorescent and Raman components, with a wavelength of 532 nm. Measurements were taken immediately after removal of the laryngeal tissue (1-5 seconds) involved in the malignant process. Results. In this study, using Raman fluorescence spectroscopy, individual spectral characteristics of the tissues of the larynx were obtained in intact tissues and in laryngeal cancer, as well as in dysplasia (precancer). In this study, in the above groups there are differences both in fluorescence signals and in Raman scattering bands. This information can be useful in the early diagnosis of laryngeal cancer for the clinicians. Conclusions. In the future, Raman fluorescent medical technologies can be used for the purpose of early express diagnostics of tumor diseases of the larynx. Clinical Medicine and Public Health and Healthcare in general need the development of technologies of this kind in order to improve the quality and efficiency of diagnosing and treating diseases at the stage of their initiation.

Aims: to evaluate various methods of anesthesia during septoplasty for changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and acute pain syndrome in the early postoperative period. Patients and methods. All patients received local anesthesia with 2% procaine solution. In group 1(105 people) premedication was used with 2% promedol solution and 60 mg of ketorolac in the evening, in group 2 (108 people) - fentanyl, propofol, cisatracuria besylate, tranexamic acid, atropine and metoclopramide, in group 3 (78 people) - atracuria besylate, sodium thiopental, nitrous oxide and halothane. In groups 2 and 3, 100 mg of ketoprofen was administered intramuscularly in the evening on the day of surgery. The frequency domain of HRV was estimated per day. Pain was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results. ULF and LF were significantly higher in groups 2 and 3 than in the local anesthetic group. VLF in the second group was significantly lower than in groups 1 and 3. Groups 2 and 3 had low HF. The VHF of group 2 was significantly lower than in groups 1 and 3, which also differed from each other - the VHF values in group 1 were higher than in group 2. Total power in group 2 was significantly lower than in groups 1 and 3. Pain syndrome was less pronounced in group 2. Conclusion. The following scheme may be less stressful when performing septopalstics for general anesthesia: fentanyl, propofol, cisatracuria besylate, tranexamic acid, atropine and metoclopramide.
