‘The Precious Tool and Often also the Weapon That We Know it to Be’: Itinerant Showpeople’s Periodicals as Socio-Economic Platforms (1880s–1920s)
Authors: Andersen Eva
Published: February 2025

Itinerant showpeople periodicals (ISPs) were sprouting up all across Europe in the long nineteenth century. Between 1883 and circa 1920, at least thirty-six journals were launched across France, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Italy and Austria-Hungary. This upsurge was part of a larger process of professionalization, specialization, and unionization in a variety of professions and trades, which was no different for itinerant showpeople. Yet, the existence of this type of journal has not been researched before. ISPs’ absence from historical research is due to itinerant showpeople’s social invisibility and stigmatization in nineteenth-century society, in combination with their itinerant lifestyle, which leaves few traces behind. Moreover, scholarly attention has largely favoured professional journals, especially in the natural sciences and medicine, which has overshadowed periodicals related to many other occupations. While ISPs are a type of class journal and share traits with professional and trade (union) journals, and even with the general press and leisure periodicals, their distinct features set them apart from other periodicals, warranting examination. ISPs catered to a specific group of people and their content, function and distribution methods diverged from sedentary professional/trade journals. In this article I conduct an analysis of ISPs’ defining characteristics in France and Belgium. I explore their goals and priorities, the agency of editors, contributors, readers and publishers, and issues of accessibility. By tracing key aspects of the production process, prices, publication frequency, circulation, content and editorial practices, I aim to illustrate ISPs’ ambiguity and specificity. Moreover, focusing on this set of characteristics helps uncover how these journals operated as socio-economic communication and exchange platforms, underscoring the significance of ISPs in the fairground community and deepening our understanding of communication practices in general.

Authors: Potts Courtney , Kealy Carmen , McNulty Jamie , Madrid-Cagigal Alba , Wilson Thomas , Mulvenna Maurice , O'Neill Siobhan , Donohoe Gary , Barry Margaret
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Digital mental health interventions for young people offer a promising avenue for promoting mental wellbeing and addressing mental health issues in this population.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore the range of digital mental health supports available for young people aged 16 - 25 years, with a particular focus on the types of digital tools, modalities, delivery format, target population, and study retention rates.

METHODS

The scoping review was conducted in six databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Medline, Cochrane Library and PsychInfo), and a total of 145 articles were included. The findings reveal a diverse landscape of studies globally, equally focusing on prevention and promotion of mental health as well as treatment of mental ill health, most commonly using cognitive behavioural therapy, with apps, web-based resources and websites being the most common digital tools.

RESULTS

The results highlight the over emphasis on convenience sampling with participants mainly recruited from universities or colleges, and the lack of representation from marginalised groups, including LGBTQ+ youth, those from socioeconomically deprived backgrounds, and neurodivergent individuals. Moreover, the focus on anxiety and depression leaves other mental health conditions underrepresented. Retention rates were moderate, indicating room for improvement. There is a need for more research on preventative measures for those aged under 25 years when young people are at increased risk of mental health issues. This includes exploring different intervention approaches and modalities beyond cognitive behaviour therapy and ensuring inclusivity in study populations. Standardising intervention lengths and incorporating long-term follow-up data could provide valuable insights into the efficacy and effectiveness of digital interventions.

CONCLUSIONS

Future studies should aim for greater inclusivity, ensuring representation from marginalised groups to address the diverse mental health needs of young people effectively. By adopting these approaches, digital mental health interventions can become more accessible, engaging, and impactful for young people worldwide.

Authors: Philpot Lindsey , Singla Abhinav , Dugani Sagar B. , Canning Rachel E. , Smith Christina M. , DeZutter Meredith A. , Ramar Priya , Hovell Jennifer M. P. , Ebbert Jon O.
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

High quality post-hospital care is crucial for positive patient outcomes following hospital discharge. Despite a preference for home-based care, many patients are admitted to post-acute care facilities. Our study explores the use of technology to support patients transitioning from hospital to home.

OBJECTIVE

To develop a patient-centered framework using design principles for technology aiding patients in transitioning from the hospital to home.

METHODS

A vignette-based, mixed-method survey was conducted with 116 patients recently discharged from the hospital. We employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and included both qualitative and quantitative data collection. Thematic analysis was performed to identify key design principles.

RESULTS

Key findings indicate that patients value technology integrating seamlessly into their care experience, supporting rather than replacing human connection, and minimizing additional burdens. Concerns about cost, data privacy, and the need for transparent communication were also highlighted, but technical aspects, such as battery life and modality (e.g., smartphone versus desktop computer) were of lesser importance in patient willingness to engage with technology-based hospital discharge support.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study identified three main categories of design principles: User Experience and Accessibility, Cost and Privacy, and Communication and Transparency. These principles can guide the development and implementation of digital tools to enhance patient transitions from hospital to home, ensuring they are effective and embraced by patients.
E-learning situation children with disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Monanda Adelia Pramudita , Padmawati Retna Siwi , Azizatunnisa' Luthfi
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Online learning or e-learning is the solution to the COVID-19 pandemic. With this condition, the parents must accompany their children with disabilities in e-learning at home. The research aims to explore the situation of e-learning in children with disabilities.
Methods: This qualitative study used a case study approach. Participants were recruited through the purposive sampling technique. There were 11 main participants, parents or learning companions of students with disabilities, and four supporting participants who were the Head of the Kapuas Regency Office, the Principal of the SLB Negeri 2 Kapuas, and one of the teacher representatives in each SLB Negeri 1 and SLB Negeri 2 Kapuas.
Results: In the process of e-learning learning activities at SLB Negeri 1 and SLB Negeri 2 Kapuas, very few parents of children with disabilities can provide gadgets and limited internet access in the area where they live. Therefore, learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic for children with disabilities were implemented using WhatsApp groups and teachers visiting each student's house. Parents must know and maintain their children's learning mood, invite children to do learning activities in a pleasant atmosphere, and parents must be able to divide their time between work and accompanying children to study.
Conclusion: In its implementation, the course encounters obstacles; the role of teachers and parents is also very influential, so the e-learning method can run optimally through good cooperation between teachers and parents in educating and motivating disabled students during learning at home.
Frequency and quality of antenatal care with low birth weight: analysis of Demographic and Health Survey indonesia 2017
Authors: Masdah Siti , Dasuki Djaswadi , Wahab Abdul
Published: February 2025

Purpose: Efforts to reduce low birth weight (LBW) cases can be made by regularly conducting antenatal care (ANC) during pregnancy. The aim is to improve the quality of ANCs and the quality of mothers, fetuses, and newborns associated with ANC. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends reducing perinatal mortality and increasing the ability of care of pregnant women to make at least eight visits during pregnancy. This study aims to prove WHO's recommendation of at least 8 times the effect of ANC on LBW events in Indonesia.
Methods: This study used a retrospective cohort and observational study design. The sample in this study were all women of childbearing age who were respondents to the 2017 IDHS. Data testing was performed using univariable, bivariable, and multivariable analysis. The analysis was performed by logistic regression.
Results: ANC frequency was 8 times proven to reduce LBW risk; the lower the ANC contact, the greater the LBW risk. The incidence of LBW is lower in mothers who get quality ANC services. Exposure to cigarette smoke, the area of ​​residence in Sulawesi, NTT, and NTB, and the distance of pregnancy affect the incidence of LBW without changing the relationship of the ANC frequency with LBW.
Conclusions: Mothers who regularly perform pregnancy checks at least 8 times by the standards become protection for LBW.

Authors: Dwianri Daniar Ajeng , Prabandari Yayi Suryo
Published: February 2025

Purpose: This study aimed to know the effect of work stress on blood pressure and work fatigue in the field operation workers of PK4L UGM.
Methods: This study was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional research design and equipped with a semi-structured interview. The sample size in this study was 163 respondents chosen using purposive sampling. Work stress is the independent variable measured using the HSE management standards indicator tool questionnaire. The dependent variables, blood pressure, were obtained from secondary data from health examination by PK4L UGM, and work fatigue (WF) was measured using the KAUPK2 questionnaire. The data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with Kendall's tau correlation test.
Results: Out of 163 respondents, as many as 49.7% had a high WS, 24.5% had a high BP, and 31.3% had a severe WF. The causes of work stress were conflicts with a driver, increased workload, hot temperatures, work that requires high concentration, colleagues who are less able to work together, and monotonous work. The causes of work fatigue were increased workload, tedious work, sitting or standing for a long time, and mental exhaustion. Bivariate analysis showed that there was no effect of WS towards BP (p=0.752; τ= -0.025), and there was an effect of WS towards WF (p=0.010; τ=0.190).
Conclusion: Work stress did not affect blood pressure, but it did impact work fatigue in the field operation workers of PK4L UGM. Further research is required to understand the other factors affecting workers' blood pressure and work fatigue.

Lo concreto de la corrupción y los principios para combatirla
Authors: Salcedo Aquino Roberto , Gurza Curiel Eduardo
Published: February 2025

La corrupción es un cáncer social que limita el desarrollo y la gobernabilidad en detrimento de toda la sociedad; además, su dimensión y alcance es complejo por tener diversas expresiones y especificidades que dificultan su identificación para su atención de manera efectiva. Combatir la corrupción, especialmente en el ámbito de la Administración Pública Federal, es una prioridad en nuestro país; de ahí la importancia de señalar la relación que guardan las faltas administrativas de los servidores públicos con los delitos tipificados como hechos corruptos, y contribuir con ello a determinar lo concreto de la corrupción y los principios para abordarla. Esta es la aportación que Roberto Salcedo y Eduardo Gurza exponen en este cuaderno, resultado del encuentro sostenido en la División de Estudios de Posgrado de la Facultad de Contaduría y Administración el lunes 22 de mayo de 2023 y que contribuye sustantivamente a potenciar las estrategias para su erradicación.
Stability Analysis of Natural Slopes: Comparative Analysis Between the Strength Reduction and Stress Analysis Methods
Authors: Vázquez García Jonathan , Fernández Limés Aldo
Published: February 2025

Natural slopes exhibit a variable cross-section, limiting the applicability of methods developed for regular slopes with constant cross-sections. This study aimed to compare the SAM and SRM methods by analyzing the stability of a slope with two inclinations (54º and 31º). The methodology involved obtaining a topographic surface and analyzing it using the MIDAS GTS NX program to demonstrate the influence of slopes and the analysis method on the factor of safety. The results showed that the influence of slopes is greater than that of the methods. Additionally, it was found that for small slopes, both methods yield similar results for small element sizes in the mesh, while for large slopes, the SAM method is less conservative, presenting values up to 130 % larger compared to SRM. Furthermore, the results obtained with the SAM method indicate that the steep slope is 13.7 % more stable than the gentle slope, which is not realistic. Additionally, the statistical analysis performed shows differences of -0.4 between the SAM and SRM methods on the steep slope, reinforcing the imprecision of the SAM method in obtaining the factor of safety in slopes with high inclinations compared to the SRM method. Therefore, it was concluded that the SRM method is much more effective than the SAM. In addition, it is recommended to use the SAM method as a complement to the SRM method for slopes with low inclinations.
Progress in female fertility protection and preservation
Authors: Dhungel Pooja , Gu Muqing , Ruan Xiangyan , Mueck Alfred O.
Published: February 2025

Survival rate of cancer patients is increasing in recent years due to treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This treatment is also impairing the reproductive ability of women, causing premature ovarian failure leading to early infertility. Fertility preservation in women has appeared to be an important issue but with advancement in assisted reproductive technologies there is a possibility of preserving fertility in cancer and non-cancer patients. Current fertility preservation options are traditional methods like embryo and oocyte cryopreservation with new technology like ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation. Oocyte cryopreservation is used for women with benign disease, women seeking fertility for personal, religious and legal reasons. For prepubertal girls and patients who cannot delay anticancer treatments to preserve fertility and ovarian endocrine function, ovarian tissue cryopreservation is the one and only option. This paper will summarize the main methods and progress of female fertility protection and preservation.
¿Afecta el momento del ciclo menstrual la función sexual femenina?
Authors: Álvarez-Arruti Andrea , Castelo-Branco Camil
Published: February 2025

Antecedente: La sexualidad femenina se rige mediante neurotransmisores como la dopamina, la noradrenalina o la serotonina, los cuales son influidos por las hormonas esteroideas. Dichas hormonas varían durante el ciclo menstrual siendo probable que la sexualidad femenina también lo haga. Objetivo: Analizar si los componentes de la respuesta sexual varían a lo largo del ciclo menstrual, evaluando si las puntuaciones globales y por dominios del Índice de Función Sexual Femenina (FSFI, Female Sexual Function Index) varían en sus diferentes fases.Métodos: Mujeres cisgénero entre 18 y 45 años con ciclos regulares y naturales, rellanaron el FSFI en cuatro momentos diferentes del ciclo: menstrual o folicular temprana, folicular tardía, ovulatoria y lútea. Los resultados fueron analizados de manera descriptiva, con el test de ANOVA unifactorial (test de corrección de LSD de Fischer) y el test de correlación bivariante (Tau b de Kendall).Resultados: Durante la fase menstrual, cuando los niveles de hormonas ováricas son más bajos, todos los dominios del FSFI obtuvieron peores resultados (menores puntajes). A medida que transcurren las fases, las puntuaciones aumentan. Acorde con la teoría evolucionista, el deseo muestra un pico ovulatorio. Conclusión: Las puntuaciones del FSFI, tanto por dominios como en su puntuación global, varían durante el ciclo menstrual.
La práctica médica actual: arte, inteligencia artificial y humanismo
Authors: Carriel Mancilla Jorge
Published: February 2025

La práctica actual de la medicina es cada vez más compleja, más multidisciplinar, más estadística, más basada en evidencia, pero en ocasiones también menos humanizada. Desde hace años, vemos como las áreas de conocimiento se han circunscrito a temas específicos, llegando a tener, por ejemplo, hiperespecialistas en procedimientos concretos, en áreas determinadas de nuestro cuerpo, como puede ser un (sub)especialista (o “fellow”) en vítreo-retina, o un cardiólogo hemodinamista. Esta necesidad de volvernos más técnicos también nos ha alejado paulatinamente de la cercanía con el paciente y su familia, y en ocasiones, incluso se ha olvidado la parte humana de nuestra profesión. La llegada de la inteligencia artificial es claramente una ventaja para la toma de decisiones, especialmente las operativas, ya que recopila estupendamente los datos estadísticos publicados hasta el momento, pero en cambio, podría ahondar en ese distanciamiento con el humanismo de la profesión. Por esto, la medicina moderna, si bien debe fundamentarse en la estadística y aprovechar las herramientas que permiten recopilar datos de manera rápida y precisa, no puede rezagar el arte que implica la misma, esencialmente la empatía que debe existir entre el médico, los pacientes y sus familias. Y es que, al final, de nada sirve tener robots que lo saben todo, pero que el mensaje que transmiten no cala en nadie. Siempre he creído que para transmitir, hay que entrenarse en ello, así como lo hacemos al entrenarnos en auscultar, interpretar el electrocardiograma o realizar un procedimiento quirúrgico. En esto, a veces fallamos quienes formamos médicos jóvenes. También he creído siempre que la medicina es la ciencia más humana de todas, aunque a ratos, producto de la presión asistencial, a muchos se les olvide. En definitiva, la inteligencia artificial debe encajar como pieza perfecta del rompecabezas con el humanismo para fortalecer el arte de esta noble profesión. Al final los médicos atendemos personas, no números ni estadísticas. Que no se nos olvide lo que hace más de 50 años dijo nuestro primer Decano, Dr. José Manrique Izquieta: “Médico es aquel que no olvida el alma de su enfermo”.

In 2022–2023, a survey of drying coniferous plantations in 5 regions of the Republic of Armenia was conducted. Investigations were carried out in plantations of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. and Crimean pine Pinus nigra subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe. A total of 125 wood samples were collected and analyzed. For the first time in the territory of the Republic of Armenia, single individuals of pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer 1934) Nickle 1981 were found near Hankavan village (Kotayk Province). The nematodes were found in samples from several trees with signs of browning needles. Identification by morphological features corresponded to the description of nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus Fuchs, 1937 of xylophilus group. The results of molecular genetic analysis of a fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) gene showed 100% compliance with the species B. xylophilus. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the identified nematodes are grouped into one cluster with isolates from China, Korea, Portugal, and Japan. It is necessary to thoroughly examine pine plantations on the territory of Armenia to accurately determine the size of the outbreak of this quarantine species.

Authors: Nezha Lakmiti Lalla , Ghyzlane El Alaoui , Meryem Hakkou , Mohamed Mansouri
Published: February 2025

Objective: This study investigates the factors affecting the profitability of Moroccan participatory banks, including performance and governance. It analyzes their impact on financial performance from 2018Q4 to 2021Q2.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study is based on financial stability, economies of scale, risk-return trade-off, and corporate governance principles, offering a solid foundation for analyzing participatory banks' profitability.
 
Method: A multiple regression model was used to analyze quarterly financial data. Key variables included capital adequacy ratio (CAR), bank size (SIZE), liquidity adequacy ratio (LAR), non-performing financing (NPF), and governance indicators such as Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) independence and Sharia Compliance Score (SCS).
 
Results and Discussion: Findings show that higher CAR and larger bank size enhance profitability, while excess liquidity negatively impacts financial performance. Surprisingly, NPF correlates positively with ROE, suggesting that risk exposure may lead to higher returns. Strong governance, particularly SSB independence and SCS, improves profitability. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced profitability during affected quarters.
 
Research Implications: This study provides practical insights into optimizing capital allocation, risk management strategies, and governance frameworks to sustain participatory banks' performance in dynamic financial environments. Impacted sectors include Islamic finance, banking regulation, and corporate governance practices.
 
Originality/Value: By elucidating the nuanced relationships between financial metrics and profitability in participatory banks, this research contributes new perspectives to the literature. Its findings underscore the relevance of tailored financial strategies and robust governance frameworks in ensuring sustainable financial performance amidst economic uncertainties.

Published: February 2025

Aim of the study. To study the dynamics of maxillofacial diseases in the Republic of Tajikistan
based on patient hospitalization data at the head office in 2018–2024.
Material and methods of the study. The official statistics data of the State Institution
"Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery" for 2018–2024 were analyzed.
Results of the study. The incidence of dental lesions in patients who received inpatient
treatment in 2018–2024 at the State Institution "Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial
Surgery" in Dushanbe among the adult population over the past 7 years was relatively stable based
on hospitalization dynamics. However, in the practice of pediatric maxillofacial surgery for the same
time period, an increase in the number of hospitalized children with pathology of the dental system
is clearly visible. It should be noted that disorders in the immune system, gastrointestinal tract,
cardiovascular and endocrine systems, metabolic processes are direct factors in the development of
some dental diseases.
Conclusion. Thus, inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region today remain the leading
ones among various pathologies of the dental system. The studies conducted prove that the presence
of long–term foci of odontogenic infection correlates with the development of somatic diseases.
Interrelated pathology is developing. Mutual cooperation of dental specialists and family doctors will
allow correcting and compensating for the course of somatic pathology, safely sanitizing the oral
cavity, avoiding severe complications.
Keywords. Diseases of the maxillofacial region, frequency, odontogenic infections,
relationship with somatic diseases, index of intensity of the carious process.
Discourse on the Application of Dwangsom on Execution Court Decisions: A Comparison with Netherlands and France
Authors: Khaliza Fauzi Maghfira Nur , Erliyana Anna
Published: February 2025

The classic problem in resolving State Administration disputes boils down to the process of implementing decisions by the parties, which in practice still does not fully meet the expectations of justice seekers. If the decision is not implemented, the State Administrative Court (PTUN) imposes administrative sanctions / coercive measures against the losing party, which can be in the form of sanctions for forced payment of money (dwangsom), in order to increase the executable power of the decision. Normally, the same as the General Court, even though currently there are not many cases, it is still a problem. Article 116 paragraph (4) of the PTUN Law regulates the mechanism for coercive measures against the execution of PTUN decisions, but it is still interpreted as containing a "rechtsvacuum". This research uses normative legal research methods through literature study, and uses descriptive analysis with deductive and comparative methods. The results of the research show that the emergence of discourse on the application of dwangsom is interpreted as a means of psychological coercion against the losing parties in order to order them to comply with the ruling. If we refer to the comparison of the French and Dutch State Administrative Court justice systems, in the Administrative Justice system in France, if the government does not implement decisions that are its obligations, then it can be subject to astreinte/dwangsom, likewise in the Netherlands, the longer the decision of the administrative justice body is not implemented, the greater the burden of dwangsom that must be borne by TUN officials.

Integrity and trust are fundamental in the legal profession, yet diploma forgery threatens these values, leading to ethical violations and diminished public trust. This study examines the legal implications of diploma forgery in Case No. 20/Pid.B/2024/PN Tmg, where an individual used a fraudulent diploma to practice law. Using a normative legal approach, the study analyzes court decisions, legal doctrines, and statutory regulations, including Article 263 of the Indonesian Penal Code and Article 69 of Law No. 20 of 2003. Findings reveal weaknesses in verification systems, allowing unqualified individuals to enter the legal profession. To prevent such fraud, the study proposes blockchain-based diploma verification, offering tamper-proof credentialing and real-time authentication. Stricter regulations, enhanced verification, and ethical awareness campaigns are crucial to safeguarding legal integrity. Adopting blockchain verification can restore public trust, ensure professional accountability, and uphold the credibility of legal institutions.

The purpose of this research is to find out the revenue potential and economic impact of imposing an excise tax on RON 90 fuel oil (BBM) in Indonesia. Using the input-output (IO) analysis method and secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, this study analyzes the impact of applying specific excise tariffs of IDR1,000, IDR2,000, and IDR3,000 per liter. The results show that the implementation of excise tax can contribute substantially to state revenue, but also shows significant negative impacts on economic output, gross value added, and labor compensation in various sectors. To mitigate these negative impacts, it is recommended that the additional state revenue be allocated as a stimulus to the affected sectors. The fuel excise policy will be more effective if accompanied by a stimulus policy for the affected sectors through additional government spending, in order to encourage an increase in output and gross value added at the macro level.

The relationship between financial factors and tax avoidance has become an increasingly important topic in corporate finance and taxation. This study examines the impact of financial derivatives, debt shifting, and transfer pricing on tax avoidance, with firm value as a moderating variable. The research focuses on conventional banks and non-bank financial institutions listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2019 to 2023. Using a purposive sampling method, 69 companies were selected, excluding Islamic banks, regional development banks, and Islamic financial institutions. The sample includes only firms that did not experience losses during the research period, as tax obligations do not apply to loss-making businesses.Employing EViews 9 for data analysis, the findings indicate that debt shifting negatively affects tax avoidance, while financial derivatives show no significant effect. In contrast, transfer pricing positively influences tax avoidance. However, firm value does not significantly moderate the relationships between tax avoidance and debt shifting or financial derivatives. Firm value, however, does moderate the relationship between transfer pricing and tax avoidance. Among the control variables, debt shifting negatively affects tax avoidance, maturity positively influences tax avoidance, and company growth has no significant effect. These findings provide insights into the financial strategies affecting tax avoidance in Indonesia’s financial sector, contributing to the broader discussion on corporate tax planning and regulatory implications.
