Do trauma
Authors: Cabrera Pablo
Published: September 2024

No contexto da comemoração do 50º aniversário do Golpe Civil-Militar chileno (1973-1989) e das consequências do terrorismo de Estado implementado naquele período, questiona-se sobre a reparação dessa violência, suas condições subjetivas e político-culturais. A partir desses elementos, o texto desenvolve quatro elementos fundamentais em uma perspectiva psicanalítica. O primeiro deles aborda as condições políticas e culturais necessárias para o trabalho clínico com sobreviventes de violência de Estado. O segundo trata da especificidade da clínica dos traumatismos extremos e da transmissão do trauma entre gerações. A terceira avança na questão da possível reparação a partir de duas vinhetas clínicas (uma da primeira e outra da segunda geração). Finalmente, na diferença com a clínica do fantasma e do inconsciente reprimido, procura-se elevar os tempos lógicos, já que a clínica do traumático se articula com a do fantasma.
Horizontes de reparação cinquenta anos após o golpe de estado
Authors: Fernández Rosas Ignacio
Published: September 2024

Por ocasião da comemoração dos cinquenta anos do golpe civil-militar chileno, este artigo reflete em tom clínico sobre as possibilidades de reparação para as pessoas que foram submetidas à violência extrema do Estado durante a ditadura. Para isso, o reparável se situa como uma busca sensível pelo reconhecimento da condição humana do outro, para o qual o valor do caráter íntimo da clínica, assim como uma ordem transferencial que permite acompanhar os analisandos através das catástrofes que os impactaram, possibilita a abertura de sentidos que, pela violência, foram reduzidos a significados desumanizados e macabros do ser.

Authors: Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN®, BMTCN, FAAN, FAPO Beth
Published: September 2024

I recently saw a new consult for a suspected blood cancer. The patient was accompanied by his wife. Like many of my visits, we reviewed his symptoms, current medications, results of his recent laboratory and imaging studies, and recommended treatment options for his condition. We also discussed social and financial issues he and his wife were worried about. At the end of the 60-minute visit, he and his wife thanked me for the information. As they were walking out the door, his wife turned to me and asked, “How are you able to spend so much time with us today?” I replied that my organization follows the value-based care model, which is the idea of improving patient quality and outcomes. I told them that I have a little more time to spend with new patients, so I can learn about them and assess their needs.

The Regulations of Financial Conglomerates in Five Asia Countries and Australia: A Policy Comparative Study
Authors: Ridhona Fultanegara  , Hamzah Muhammad Zilal , Sofilda Eleonora
Published: September 2024

Financial conglomerates are considered to have a significant role in a country’s economy. A well-developed financial conglomerate will bring economy’s positive growth. However, when one collapses, systemic risk cannot be avoided to the financial system. The study conducts a comparative analysis of financial conglomerates/financial holding companies policies in six countries: Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Australia. Furthermore, the research examines the literature review method of financial conglomerates criteria, structure, synergy, intragroup transactions, and data protection. In general, the requirements of financial conglomerates within research sample countries align with the Joint Forum. Indonesia is still developing the financial conglomerate’s minimum assets and members. Singapore is more concerned with a portion of assets, capital, liabilities, or income, while Taiwan regulates the total assets and paid-in capital. Malaysia regulates strictly with specific minimum ownership, while Australia focuses more on transaction materiality. The synergy among members of financial conglomerates may improve efficiency—however, the intragroup transactions raise systemic risk. Consumer data protection should be considered when financial conglomerates conduct cross-selling. From this study, policymakers should enhance their policies so that financial conglomerates take more advantage of generating the country’s economy while managing challenges to the financial system’s stability.

Evangelism is a command that comes directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ. The command to evangelize Matthew 28:19-20 was implemented by the Apostles in all places, both villages and cities. This is motivated by the command itself "all nations" meaning anyone, anywhere, and at any time. In general, the definition of an urban area is a residential area that includes a main city and is supported by peripheral areas that support the main city. Urban areas are also more complex areas than rural areas. Financial turnover in the economy is very fast. Generally the population has sufficient education. A more comprehensive way of thinking and unique characteristics due to busy work, even seem selfish and indifferent. All of this shows the need for the church to carry out its own strategic management in carrying out urban evangelism. Researchers used qualitative methods based on library research. Data that already exists will be lifted and become the wealth of this writing. The aim of this writing is to add to the richness of existing writings. Furthermore, it can be applied according to the needs and demands of urban evangelism.

Academic decline has always been a primary concern for researchers in the field of education. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has shed new light on this phenomenon. This study aims to identify factors affecting academic decline during the COVID-19 pandemic and develop a model to predict academic decline during virtual education. The present research employed a mixed qualitative-quantitative methodology. The study population included all mothers, students, and teachers of middle and high school levels in the city of Sabzevar in 2021. A sample of 30 individuals was selected through purposive sampling due to data saturation, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, and interviewed. Following the identification and validation of qualitative categories and factors, a questionnaire was designed and administered to 384 participants (mothers, students, and teachers of middle and high school levels). The unlimited population responded to the researcher-made 49-item questionnaire on the challenges of virtual education impacting academic decline during the COVID-19 pandemic. To test the research hypotheses, descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) using SPSS 20 and PLS Smart software were utilized. The findings indicated that, following qualitative interviews, six main grounded theory categories emerged, encompassing 12 fundamental factors. These included two causal factors (lack of motivation and academic isolation), one central factor (academic decline), three contextual factors (quantity and quality of electronic devices, internet quality, and software and hardware deficiencies), three intervening factors (role pressure on parents, web usage culture, and learning environment), and two strategies (ineffective teaching and inappropriate assessment) and one outcome (reduced learning). Ultimately, the structural equation modeling validated the conceptual model designed based on grounded theory. The results indicated that 12 fundamental factors influenced academic decline during virtual education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to the development of a significant predictive model for academic decline in virtual education.

Published: September 2024

The public health threat of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now widely accepted. When using machine learning techniques and MRI scanning to detect Alzheimer's disease, the hippocampi are readily accessible and one among the most afflicted brain regions. AD classification by machine learning algorithms using complete MRI slices was unsatisfactory. This article describes how to choose MRI slices using hippocampus landmarks. This research aims to find the best accurate AD categorization MRI pictures. Next, utilizing Resnet50 or LeNet using various classifiers with the open-source and free ADNI dataset, the three views and categories were valued. The models used 4,500 Neuroimaging slices from three perspectives and categories for training. We found that AD classification was better with MRI scan segments than whole slices. The coronal view showed our method's machine learning accuracy enhancement most clearly. This strategy greatly enhanced machine learning accuracy. The findings from a rotational perspective matched what clinicians use to identify AD. Additionally, LeNet models may classify AD effectively.
CNN2D Algorithm for Detection of Ransomware Attacks Using Processor and Disk Usage Data
Authors: Srivani Putta , J. Uma Sri , K. Reshmitha , P. Soukya
Published: September 2024

Commonly, ransomware encrypts data, turns off antivirus protection, and destroys the target computer and everything on it. The techniques used today to detect this kind of WannaCry include monitoring the files, system requests, and processes on the system that is being targeted and analysing the data collected. Monitoring numerous processes has a substantial overhead; more current ransomware may interfere with the monitoring and alter the collected data. A dependable and practical technique for locating ransomware operating within a virtual machine, also called a VM, is provided in this study. We construct a framework for detection by applying an automated machine learning (ML) evaluation to the whole virtual machine (VM) using data collected from the physical host computer pertaining to specific processors and disc I/O events. This approach eliminates the need to continuously watch every action on the system that is being targeted and lessens the likelihood that ransomware would contaminate data. It also endures shifts in the amount of labour that users must do. It provides fast and very likely detection of known ransomware (used to train this machine learning model) and also of unknown ransomware (not utilised for teaching the model). Out of the seven artificial neural network classifiers that we looked at, the randomly generated forest (RF) classification gave the best results. Across six different customer loads plus 22 instances of ransomware, the RF model detected malware with a 0.98 confidence in 400 milliseconds.
Mead-halls of the Eastern Geats
Authors: Rundkvist Martin
Published: September 2024

The Swedish province of Östergötland has long been recognised as one of the Ist millennium's political hot spots. Splendid single finds, though never before surveyed comprehensively, offer a rough idea of where elite settlements might be sought. But not one of the ostentatious manorial buildings where the era's elite lived has been identified in the field. This book aims at beginning to remedy this regional absence of mead-halls, being an investigation of the internal political geography of Ostergötland during the period AD 375-1000. Good candidate sites are identified in nine out of c. 155 parishes. Apparently they were occupied only rather briefly by magnates, and there is little sign of continuity anywhere.

SELECTED ELEMENTS OF LITURGICAL EDUCATION IN PARISH CATECHESIS
Authors: Gogolik Mirosław
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT: Aim: The aim of this work is to highlight selected pastoral aspects of liturgical education in parish catechesis, where the central focus often lies on the celebration of liturgy. In the structure of the Catholic Church, the parish undoubtedly holds a special place as a vibrant and dynamic Christian community, called to be a familial and fraternal home open to the faithful. Methods: The objective outlined in the article was achieved through the method of analyzing contemporary catechetical-pastoral reflection and the teachings of the Teaching Office of the Church. Results: Through the conducted research, a synthetic presentation was made of the great concern associated with the question of the shape, character, and tasks of parish communities in the Catholic Church. The diversity of functions and tasks currently undertaken in catechetical service, not only in the school dimension but primarily within the parish community, was emphasized. This realization echoes the image of the Church in the early centuries, where catechetical teaching and Christian initiation occurred within the community of believers. The study emphasized the necessity of reviving mystagogical and sacramental catechesis, as well as the important role of conducting systematic adult catechesis, especially within religious movements and communities. Conclusion: In conclusion, the author advocates for the revitalization of catechesis within the parish community, with its primary goal being the liturgical and sacramental education of children, youth, and adults. This includes involving the faithful in the stream of the Christian experience, which can significantly contribute to the revitalization of faith and evangelical witness. Thus, the inherent nature of catechetical ministry in the parish becomes a crucial aspect of pastoral activities for both clergy and laity, involved in Catholic associations and movements, and above all, in the living organism of the local Church. Originality: The proposed model of parish catechesis contributes to the originality of the presented research material. Keywords: parish catechesis, adult catechesis, mystagogy, liturgical education, sacramental catechesis, parish, liturgy.

ABSTRACT: Aim: The research objective is to analyze selected three churches by architect Professor Adam Lisik realized on mining damage. The research conducted on the basis of the creative output of the prominent Polish architect of religious buildings is presented. The research is intended to show how difficult design conditions and locations on mining damage affect the functional and solid form of the churches. Methods: The following research methods were used to conduct the study: in-situ research of the objects in question, literature analysis, analysis of conceptual sketches and design documentation of the objects, interview with the author of the projects. The research of the objects takes the form of an expert assessment by the author of the article. Results: All three examples of churches built on high categories of mining damage show different projection solutions: square, regular hexagon, ellipse. The shapes used make it possible to obtain a compact projection with interesting aesthetics of shaping the interior space. The architect also showed a lot of freedom in shaping the various masses of the buildings. Limitations of the decision of the OUG (District Mining Office) for the architect not only did not constitute an obstacle, but on the contrary inspired the search for new solutions, giving satisfaction to the creator of the sacred temple. Conclusion: The results of the study allow us to conclude that the limitations of high mining damage categories (III and IV) did not limit creative freedom. It can be summarized by saying: large-scale religious buildings can be successfully implemented on mining damage. Much depends on the knowledge, skills, creative workshop and vision of the architect. Originality: Limitations of mining damage can pose creative challenges to architectural and structural designers. By complying with the principles of structural safety, one can break stereotypes and create architecturally interesting masses and spaces and interiors. Constraint can become an inspiration for creating new forms of architectural expression. Keywords: architecture, churches, design, construction, construction, mining damage, symbolism.

Using role-playing in the classroom to aid English conversation
Authors: Siddiqui Rahman
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the effectiveness of role-playing exercises in enhancing English conversation skills among university students. The primary issue addressed is the challenge of improving English fluency and confidence in learners through engaging, practical methods. A mixed-methods methodology was adopted, with quantitative and qualitative analysis allowing the investigation into the effect of role-playing on or in relation to language proficiency. Participating were 34 university students from Bangladesh who completed questionnaires on their performance in language skills prior to and following role-playing sessions. The findings indicated positive linkages between role-playing and fluency, confidence, and communicative competence, although the latter regarding vocabulary was less pronounced. As a matter of fact, the research indicates that role-play is one of the effective pedagogies in language learning, enabling students to participate in non-threatening activities about the practical use of their accrued language ability.

Access to education is an abecedarian mortalright, and it's critical in promoting social and profitable development. still, there are still numerous challenges to equal access to education for all, particularly for children from underprivileged communities (United Nations, 2015). Problem Statement: In the contemporary era, education stands as the cornerstone for achieving a prosperous future. It is unfortunate that many underprivileged communities, especially those living in “kachi abadis” find themselves in situation were young children are compelled to work to support their families as they continue their formal education. This study aims to find the efficiency of formal Education for the disadvantaged community/kachi abadis, and to explore the underlying challenges to schools and children in the Formal and Non-Formal Education system. Methodology: For this research, this researcher has considered understanding the challenges faced by teachers, students, and school ‘Lower Gizri Government school PNT colony’. This is a qualitative research study, and the participants will be 10 teachers and 10 students from ‘Lower Gizri Government school PNT colony’. Thematic analysis was used for this study. Results: The findings of this study highlight that tailored teaching methods and consistent communication with parents emerge as essential strategies to ensure that students receive personalized attention and support. Recommendations: This study recommends that educational institutions need to recognize and adapt to the unique circumstances of students from disadvantaged communities, including irregular attendance patterns and designed tailored curriculum to meet the needs of these students.

Introduction: This research explores the impact of Human Resource Management (HRM) on improving teachers' teaching practices amidst pandemic challenges. The study investigates the relationship between HRM and teachers' teaching competencies, aiming to contribute insights into the crucial role of HRM in fostering effective teaching during unprecedented situations. Problem Statement: Unprecedented situations, such as the ongoing pandemic, have posed challenges to teachers, necessitating adaptability in teaching practices. This study addresses the need to examine how HRM interventions can enhance teachers' competencies in navigating these challenges, ultimately benefiting both educators and students. Methodology: The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a survey questionnaire with Likert scale responses from 12085 elementary school teachers. Data analysis involved statistical techniques using SPSS, including frequency tests, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. Results: Analysis of respondents' profiles revealed a predominantly female, married, and academically diverse group of teachers. Descriptive statistics indicated moderate levels of Human Resource Management (Mean=1.7575) and Teachers' Teaching Competencies (Mean=1.7150). The reliability analysis confirmed the consistency of the data (Cronbach’s Alpha HRM=0.869, TTC=0.861). Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between HRM and TTC (r=0.527, p<0.01). Regression analysis further supported a significant impact of HRM on TTC (R=0.278, p<0.05). Recommendations: Based on the findings, it is recommended that educational institutions and policymakers prioritize HRM strategies to enhance teachers' teaching competencies during challenging circumstances. Continuous professional development and support from HRM can contribute to improved teaching practices, ultimately benefiting the overall quality of education. This research provides valuable insights for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking effective strategies to navigate educational challenges during pandemics.

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a pathology characterized by activated digestive enzymes to digest pancreatic tissue and inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of curcumin, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, on AP and its effectiveness at different doses.
METHODS: Forty Sprague Dawley albino male rats, 12 weeks old, weighing 285-320 g, were used in the study. The rats were divided into control, curcumin, AP, low (100 mg/kg), and high (200mg/kg) dose curcumin groups. An experimental pancreatitis model was created with 5 g/kg L-arginine and samples (amylase, lipase, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, histopathological) were taken after 72 hours.
RESULTS: There was no difference between the groups in terms of the weight of the rats (p=0.76). In the AP group, it was observed that the experimental pancreatitis model was successfully created after examination. Laboratory and histopathological examination results in the curcumin-administered groups were regressed compared to the AP group. The decrease in laboratory values was higher in the high-dose curcumin group than in the low-dose (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION: Laboratory and histopathological changes occur in AP according to clinical severity. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of curcumin are known. In the light of this information and according to the results of our study, it has been shown that curcumin is effective in the treatment of AP, and the effect of curcumin increases with the dose increase. Curcumin is effective in treating AP. However, while high-dose curcumin was more effective in inflammatory response than low-dose, it showed similar histopathological results.
