„Ist das denn auch noch Sprache?“ ̶ Visualität als Entgrenzung der Begriffssprache in Thomas Bernhards Roman Frost
Authors: Sommerfeld Beate
Published: June 2021

„Czy jest to jeszcze język?” – wizualność jako wykraczanie poza ramy języka pojęć w powieści Thomasa Bernharda Mróz

Artykuł analizuje delimitacje języka w powieści Mróz Thomasa Bernharda. Jego bohater, malarz Strauch, porzucił sztukę i oddaje się fantazjom i marzeniom. W literackich inscenizacjach tej imaginatywnej produkcji obrazów rozwijana jest antropologia wewnętrznych obrazów, które sprzeciwiają się logicznemu porządkowi języka pojęciowego. Bernhard przedstawia koncepcję wizjonerstwa, która kwestionuje wyłączną słuszność kategoryzacji pojęciowej i daje pod rozwagę możliwość specyficznego poznania wizualnego. Powstają obrazy czystej wizualności, które wymykają się komunikacji językowej i przypominają o bezsłownym doświadczeniu wizualnym. Strategie wizualizacji Bernharda są przedstawiane i uwidocznione w ich dyskursywnych powiązaniach z pytaniami antropologicznymi.

 

Der Beitrag geht den Entgrenzungen der Sprache nach, die in Bernhards Roman Frost metapoetisch zur Disposition gestellt und performativ eingelöst werden. Dessen Protagonist, der Maler Strauch, hat der Ausübung seiner Kunst entsagt und gibt sich seinen Phantasien und Traumvisionen hin. In den literarischen Inszenierungen dieser inneren Bildproduktion wird ein Konzept der visionären Schau entfaltet, welches die alleinige Geltung begrifflicher Kategorisierungen infrage stellt und auf die Brückenlosigkeit zwischen wortlosem Bilderlebnis und Sprache verweist. Die aus der Handlung herausgesprengten Tableaus einer von Begriffslogik entbundenen, opaken Visualität zersetzen den Logos der Wissenschaftssprache und werden von dieser mit dem Stigma der Verrücktheit belegt.

Bernhards Visualisierungsstrategien werden auf rhetorischer und synästhetischer Ebene nachvollzogen und dabei in ihren diskursiven Verflechtungen mit anthropologischen Fragestellungen sichtbar gemacht. So wird ein diskursiver Bezug zur Psychopathologie angedeutet, indem die psychopathologischen Anteile einer radikal künstlerischen Existenz herausgestellt werden, die als kommunikative Lähmung in der rational verfassten Welt entworfen wird. Zudem unterhalten die Visionen eine untergründige Beziehung zu menschheitsgeschichtlich früheren Zuständen des Bewusstseins, die als phylogenetische Relikte weiterhin präsent sind und eine tiefere Wirklichkeitsschicht erlebbar machen, die jenseits von Sprache liegt.

Eurolinguistyczne spojrzenie na Willy’ego Brandta – promowanie pokoju przez przezwyciężanie retorycznych granic

Lata 1969-1971 są ważne w kontekście zakończenia „zimnej wojny”: wyznaczają początek i pierwsze sukcesy nowej polityki zagranicznej Willy’ego Brandta. Na podstawie deklaracji rządowych, tekstów umów, protokołów rozmów i wystąpień telewizyjnych w artykule pokazano, że jedną z „cegiełek” do sukcesu Brandta stanowi przezwyciężenie dotychczasowych granic retorycznych. Jego retoryka wyróżnia się: (1) szybkim wcielaniem słów w czyny, (2) świadomością specyficznych dla kultury słów-symboli, (3) tworzeniem nowych słów-symboli o pozytywnym wartościowaniu, (4) wariacją słów w zależności od adresata, (5) (dobrą) komunikacją z osobami sprawującymi władzę.

 

1969-1971 sind wichtige Jahre in der Beendigung des Kalten Krieges: Beginn und erste Früchte der neuen Auslandspolitik Willy Brandts. Anhand von Regierungserklärungen, Vertragstexten, Gesprächsprotokollen und Fernsehansprachen wird exemplarisch gezeigt, dass ein Baustein für den Erfolg Brandts in der Überwindung bisheriger rhetorischer Grenzen liegt. Seine Rhetorik zeichnet sich aus durch: (1) zeitnahes Umsetzen von Worten in Taten, (2) Bewusstsein um kulturspezifische Symbolwörter, (3) Schaffen neuer positiver Symbolwörter, (4) adressatenbewusste Wort-Variation, (5) (gute) Kommunikation zu Machtinhabern.

If You Build it, Will They (Really) Come? Student Perceptions of Proximity and Other Factors Affecting Use of an Academic Library Curriculum Collection
Authors: Vanderwerff Madelaine , Herscovitch Pearl
Published: June 2021

Objective – This study investigated student perceptions of an undergraduate university library’s curriculum collection, before and after a move to a new library building. The objective was to identify how factors such as proximity to program classrooms and faculty offices, flexible seating, accessibility, and other physical improvements to the space housing the collection impacted students’ perceptions.
Methods – This longitudinal study conducted between 2016 and 2017 used a combination of methods to examine whether library use of a specialized academic library collection was impacted by a significant space improvement and change in location. A cohort of education students was surveyed before and after the construction of a new building that housed both the library and their department and co-located the curriculum collection with departmental teaching spaces. The students were surveyed about their use of the space and resources. The researchers then compared the survey results to circulation data. The researchers ground this study in Lefebvre’s spatial triad theory, applying it to library design and collection use (Lefebvre, 1992).
Results – Researchers identified proximity to classrooms and general convenience as the dominant factors influencing students’ use of the collection. Survey results showed an increased awareness of the collection and an increase in use of the collection for completion of assignments and practicum work. Circulation data confirmed that between 2016-2019, there was a steady increase in use of the curriculum collection.
Conclusion – Students’ responses revealed that physical characteristics of the space were less important than proximity, the major factor that impacted their use of the curriculum collection. This revelation confirms Lefebvre’s idea that spatial practice, i.e., how users access and use the space, is more significant and identifiable to students than the design and physical characteristics of the space.
Libraries Assist Disaster Survivors with Information Needs and Refuge but Need to Amplify Their Role and What They Offer
Authors: Kaplan Samantha J.
Published: June 2021

A Review of:
Braquet, D. M. (2010). Library experiences of Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans flood survivors. LIBRES: Library and Information Science Research Electronic Journal, 20(1), 1. https://www.libres-ejournal.info/528/
Abstract 
Objective – Describe the experiences and library usage of patrons displaced by Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans Flood.
Design – A qualitative study with interview components and a questionnaire with open and closed-end questions
Setting – New Orleans, Louisiana and surrounding area
Subjects – 314 questionnaire respondents and 30 interview (24 face-to-face and 6 phone) participants with 5 individuals completing both
Methods – The study consisted of an online questionnaire with open and closed-end questions occurring concurrently with semi-structured interviews conducted over the phone and in person. Individuals were recruited via convenience sample by flyers at public locales in the New Orleans area and electronic mailing lists, forums, blogs, and news sites that catered to the New Orleans community.
Main Results – Disaster survivors use libraries for Internet access, information and technology assistance, mental relief, physical refuge, and also view them as symbols of both loss and hope. Library resources (including the physical spaces) allowed survivors to regain a sense of control by helping patrons access local information and experience pre-disaster pastimes, such as leisure reading.
Conclusion – The study provides rich description of how libraries can support people displaced by disaster, however just over half of participants did not consider the library a part of their disaster experience. Future research should examine how libraries and library workers can amplify their impact during disasters and disaster recovery, as well as partner with disaster planning and response professionals.

Published: June 2021

Background: The number of elderly and the burden of non-communicable diseases increase with time. Community involvement is expected to be an important prevention agent for their neighbors. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health services delivered by community health workers (CHWs) which focus on physiological indices related to non-communicable diseases among elderly people and to explain the health services or interventions carried out by CHWs.
 
Methods: This systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, ProQuest Science Database, Scopus, EBSCOhost CINAHL, and Web of Science were taken as the source of databases. Manual search was also conducted for articles published before March 2019 without time restriction. The quality of each study was assessed using Critical Checklist by Joanna Briggs Institute.
Results: Of the 3,275 initial studies retrieved, 4 studies were included in qualitative synthesis analysis. Three studies arranged a face-to-face interview, while the other study was conducted over the phone. All the 4 studies were intervention studies. Three of them showed a significant improvement in mean systolic blood pressure for the intervention group compared to the control group. The other study showed a significant improvement in weight loss for the intervention group.
Conclusion: Health services delivered by CHWs was beneficial to elderly people in rural areas on some physiological indices. It suggested that health services delivered CHWs could contribute toward secondary prevention programs.

Authors: Selk-Ghaffari Maryam , Shab-Bidar Sakineh , Halabchi Farzin
Published: June 2021

Background: Due to widespread abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids among professional athletes and amateur sportsmen and their health-related problems, determining the prevalence and the pattern of anabolicandrogenic steroid misuse at the national level seems to be vital for designing efficient preventive and educational measures.
Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted via comprehensive searches of the electronic databases including PubMed, MedLine, Scopus, Google Scholar and National Persian Databases including SID, Magiran, IranDoc (between 1980 and Dec 2019 in English and Persian languages) and also from citations in the selected papers. Overall, 39 articles met the criteria and were included in qualitative and quantitative synthesis.
Results: The overall prevalence rate of anabolic-androgenic steroid misuse in the Iranian athletic population was 36.2% (95% confidence interval (CI), 29-43) with significant heterogeneity between studies (I2=99.0%, P<0.001). Prevalence rate of anabolic-androgenic steroid misuse among elite, male and younger athletes was higher (P<0.05). Moreover, prevalence rate of anabolic-androgenic steroid misuse among body-building athletes (36.3%) was higher compared to other athletes (30.9%), (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Due to the higher prevalence of anabolic-androgenic steroids misuse in Iran compared to global statistics and the potential for serious adverse effects, preventive strategies and policies should be regarded as a real concern for public health.

Authors: Kang Hyunwoo , Jang Seyong
Published: June 2021

Background: The present study aimed to provide an empirical theoretical basis for the psychological phenomena that occur among competing athletes. To this end, we utilized the actor and partner interdependence model (APIM) to analyze the self- and relative effects of competitive state anxiety on perceived performance in middle and high school Taekwondo athletes.
Methods: Data were analyzed for 372 middle and high school athletes (red group=186, blue group=186) who participated in the first round of the 2020 Korea Taekwondo Association National Taekwondo Competition. Analysis based on the APIM was applied to the collected data, and a path analysis was conducted to verify the self- and relative effects of competitive state anxiety on perceived performance.
Results: Cognitive (red: P<0.01, blue: P<0.001) and physical state anxiety (red: P<0.01, blue: P<0.01) exerted a significant negative self-effect on perceived performance in both groups. In contrast, state confidence (red: P<0.001, blue: P<0.001) exerted a significant positive self-effect on perceived performance. Furthermore, cognitive (red: P<0.001, blue: P<0.01) and physical state anxiety (red: P<0.001, blue: P<0.001) exerted a significant positive relative effect on the opponent’s perceived performance in both groups, while state confidence (red: P<0.01, blue: P<0.001) exerted a significant negative relative effect on the opponent’s perceived performance.
Conclusion: Sports psychologists should focus on developing a psychological training program that provides practical psychological support as well as self-regulatory and relative strategies for improving athletic performance in competitive scenarios.

Authors: Li Bin
Published: June 2021

Background: Shoulder, neck, and back discomforts and abdominal obesity caused by sedentariness are increasingly prominent in young and middle-aged population groups. Health Qigong improves physical functions and strengthens the disease resistance of exercisers. This study aims to explore health Qigong intervention’s effects on the cervical vertebra, lumbar vertebra, and mental status.
Methods: A total of 108 sedentary young and middle-aged faculties from Yantai University in China were recruited from July to December 2020 and randomly classified into the experimental and control groups. The former received health Qigong exercises for 12 weeks, and the latter was not intervened. The total general skeletal muscle mass, range of neck joint motion, mental health, and range of waist joint motion of all respondents before and after the intervention were tested and calculated.
Results: The body fat rate of the experimental group after intervention was significantly lower than that before intervention (P<0.05). The skeletal muscle mass (SMM) value was significantly higher than that before intervention. The experimental group had lower body fat rate but higher SMM value than the control group after the intervention. In addition, the range of motion (ROM) of the cervical vertebra was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group after intervention. Somatization, obsessive/compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoia, and SCL-90 total score of the experimental group after intervention decreased significantly compared with that before intervention (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Health Qigong improves the ROM of cervical and lumbar vertebrae and the mental health status of sedentary young and middle-aged groups.

Authors: Liu Jinfu , Gao Feng , Yuan Lugang
Published: June 2021

Background: Chinese children are poorer in sports activity as compared to foreign children and their prospects as to physical fitness are not optimistic. This study aimed to discuss the effects of diversified sports activity modules on physical fitness and mental health of preschoolers ages 4–5 years.
Methods: Sixty preschoolers aged 4–5-yr-old from two kindergartens in Jiaxing of China were selected randomly during Mar-Oct 2019. These respondents were divided into the experimental group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). The experimental group implemented the diversified sports activity module for 16 wk successively, 5 d per week, and 30-45 min per day. The control group adopted conventional sports activity. The body shape, physical fitness, and mental health of the two groups were measured and compared.
Results: For body shape, the height of the experimental group increased is significantly higher than that of the control group. The experimental and control groups show no significant differences in body weight. For physical fitness, the experimental group is significantly superior to the control group in testing results of standing long jump, double-feet continuous jump, balancing on one foot, tennis shot, sit-and-reach, and 10 m repeated run. For mental health, the testing results of action development, language development, and social development of the experimental group are significantly better than those of the control group.
Conclusion: The diversified sports activity module is not only conducive to strengthening the physical fitness of 4–5-year-old preschoolers but also improves their mental health.

Authors: Biglari Arefeh , Barzeghar Vahideh , Zolfaghari Firouzsalari Nasim , Gholampour Akbar
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Bioaerosols consist of aerosols which are biologically originated and can be present ubiquitously in different environments, including the indoor air of hospitals. The objective of this study was to survey the bioaerosol type and density in various environments of four governmental educational hospitals in Urmia, Iran, namely the intensive care unit (ICU), operating room, the internal medicine room, the infectious diseases room, the infectious diseases corridor, and ambient air.
Materials and methods: Sampling was performed during summer and winter of 2019 at four different day-times using passive (sedimentation plate) and active methods (an Andersen one-stage viable impactor and Quick Take30 sampling instrument) and by counting plates containing a bacterial and fungus-selective medium.
Results: The results revealed that the highest microbial bioaerosol load was related to the infectious diseases corridor (100 and 150 CFU/m3 for total bacterial and fungal load, respectively). The highest bacterial and fungal density was observed in the afternoon at 17-18; and the concentration of bioaerosols was higher in summer than winter. A comparison of indoor and outdoor bacterial loads showed that the indoor bacterial concentration mean (49.1±23.8 CFU/m3 ) was higher than the outdoor value (47.1±21.5 CFU/m3 ), and the indoor levels of fungal contamination (83.3±31.9 CFU/m3 ) were significantly lower than outdoor values (182.5±48.0 CFU/m3 ). The predominantly isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus (95%) spp, and the main isolated fungi belong to the genera Aspergillus (50%) and Penicillium (32%).
Conclusion: The results of this study can be useful in developing indoor air microbial quality guidelines in hospitals, which has not been done so far.
A review on the effect of air pollution and exposure to PM, NO2 , O3 , SO2 , CO and heavy metals on viral respiratory infections
Authors: Khajeamiri Yasaman , Sharifi Samira , Moradpour Nioosha , Khajeamiri Alireza
Published: June 2021

The ambient air pollutants that have a major role in causing respiratory diseases are particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and heavy metals. In addition, respiratory infections, divided into upper respiratory tract and lower respiratory tract infection, are most commonly caused by viral agents. Thus, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, this review has focused on the association between exposure to general air pollution including each of the mentioned air pollutants and viral respiratory infections. The gathered evidence from the reviewed studies in this article showed that most of these air pollutants have a positive correlation with mortality, severity, transmission, inflammation, and incidence of different viral respiratory infections. Whereas, some studies found contradictory results such as non-significant and negative connections between exposure to air pollutants and viral respiratory infections, which are further discussed in this text. Therefore, following the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, these contradictions in the reported correlation between air pollution and different aspects of viral respiratory infections must be thoroughly investigated and cleared.

Authors: Mosayebi Ziba , Sagheb Setareh , Mirzendedel Mahsa , Movahedian Amir Hossein
Published: June 2021

Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a major health problem in all age groups. In the present study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in neonates hospitalized in an intensive care unit (NICU) and its association with clinical neonatal outcomes.
Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on all neonates hospitalized in the NICU of Children's Medical Center over a period of one year (January–December 2018). Immediately on admission, a serum sample for vitamin D measurement was obtained with another routine blood sampling. Demographic and clinical data including sex, gestational age, the season of birth, serum levels of vitamin D and calcium, the causes of hospitalization, age at admission and neonatal outcomes including length of hospital stay and mortality during hospitalization were assessed.
Results: One hundred neonates entered the study. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were present in 95% of neonates. There was a significant association between vitamin D status and birth during winter (p=0.014); hypocalcemia (p=0.025) and older age at NICU admission (p<0.001). The mean value of vitamin D in term neonates was significantly lower than in preterm neonates (p=0.031). There were no correlations between length of hospital stay and neonatal mortality rate with vitamin D status (p=0.876).
Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were highly prevalent among NICU patients. Maternal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy may prevent or reduce the risk of low levels of vitamin D in neonates.

Published: June 2021

Objective: We evaluated cardiometabolic burden in women planning assisted reproduction in order to identify subgroups at higher risk of pregnancy complications and cardiovascular disease.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study we investigated 60 infertile women with BMI≥25 kg/m2 referred to the Center for Assisted Reproduction. All women underwent metabolic, anthropometric parameters and ultrasound evaluation of ectopic fat depots.
Results: All women had waist ≥80 cm. We found that 93.3% of women had pathological subcutaneous, 58.3% visceral and 80% para-perirenal fat; all women had fatty liver. Visceral fat and severity of steatosis were significantly related to the presence of metabolic syndrome (OR =5.7; p=0.03). A significant negative correlation between low HDL-c and para-perirenal fat (p<0.0001), a significant positive correlation with fasting plasma glucose and para-perirenal fat (p=0.001) were found. We observed a significant positive correlation between visceral fat and hs-CRP (p=0.002), HOMA-IR (p=0.04) and triglycerides (p=0.002), a significant negative correlation with HDL-c (p=0.05).
Conclusion: This study by highlighting a clinically “dangerous liaison” between ectopic fat depots and metabolic/inflammatory markers, might permit to identify women with a worse metabolic phenotype and encourage lifestyle changes for improving their general and reproductive health together.

Authors: Talwar Amrita , Behera Pushpanjali , Ahuja Arvind , Sarkar Bani , Phulware Ravi Hari
Published: June 2021

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and has the secondhighest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. Adenomyosis is well-known for abnormal uterine bleeding and is a widely reported entity; however, an EC arising from the adenomyosis is a rare event; even rarer is the occurrence of serous endometrial carcinoma.
Case report: A 60-year post-menopausal female presented with post-menopausal bleeding. Subsequently, she underwent a hysterectomy, which showed atrophic and cystic endometrium with extensive adenomyosis and atypical endometrial glands, which are diffusely P53 positive with intervening negative benign and focally positive dysplastic endometrial glands. A final diagnosis of serous endometrial carcinoma arising from adenomyosis was rendered. In a table format, previously reported serous endometrial carcinoma Arising cases from adenomyosis using PubMed search had been described.
Conclusion: Serous endometrial carcinoma arising from adenomyosis (<20 cases reported) and has a slightly more dismal prognosis than those deriving from the endometrial cavity. Hence, this case report highlights the occurrence, rarity, and importance of such an entity.
Preparing Health Profession Students for Practice in Complex Real World Settings: How Do Educators Respond to a Model of Capability?
Authors: Hanks Sally , Neve Hilary , Gale Thomas
Published: June 2021

Undergraduate education often leaves future healthcare professionals insufficiently prepared for the complex and unpredictable workplace. Competency-based medical education (CBME) is widely utilised in health professions’ education, but a growing literature highlights its limitations. Capability is a complex concept which builds on competence, while embedding the integration and adaptation of knowledge, skills and personal qualities. While capability can prepare learners for uncertainty and complexity, the concept has been slow to progress within health professions’ education. We introduced the concept of capability to over 110 international health profession educators through six conference workshops, using a visual model to facilitate understanding. Participants’ post-workshop qualitative feedback was collated and thematically analysed. One hundred and thirty-three free text comments were received and four main themes identified: conceptualising capability, capability as curriculum goal, educating for capability, challenges to implementation. The need for capability resonated with participants, although most were unfamiliar with the concept prior to the workshop. The workshop enabled participants to recognise the limitations of CBME’s ‘tick box’ culture when preparing learners to address complexity. The model helped educators grasp the concept of capability and its potential value in health professions’ education. Participants were then able to identify challenges and suggest approaches for implementing capability in practice. Educating for capability is fundamental for preparing students successfully for the ‘real world’ of professional practice. Most participants agreed it should be the end goal of healthcare education curricula. Healthcare educators are likely, however, to need support to embrace this paradigm shift.
