ENTRE PALAVRAS E IMAGENS
Authors: Rocha Guilherme Magri da , Navas Diana
Published: October 2024

Este artigo discute a convergência entre modernismo literário e literatura infantil, focando no Charleston Bulletin, criado pelos adolescentes Quentin e Julian Bell, em colaboração com sua tia, Virginia Woolf. Analisando essa publicação, o estudo busca entender como a colaboração intergeracional resultou em um produto literário único, misturando texto e imagem de forma inovadora. A interseção entre palavra e imagem no Bulletin reflete práticas modernistas de experimentação formal e ruptura com convenções tradicionais. A pesquisa aprofunda a compreensão dessas interseções, explorando a contribuição de Woolf e destacando a produção literária como um processo coletivo e dinâmico, envolvendo várias gerações em um diálogo criativo.

UNVEILING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF PROPOSING HIBAH AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO NAFKAH SECURITY FOR WIDOWS
Authors: Azmi Amylia Fuziana , Ahmad Nor Laila , Zakaria Mohamad Zaharuddin , Nik Saleh Nik Salida Suhaila , Hasbullah Mushaddad
Published: October 2024

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the study and promotion of hibah (gifts) as one of the alternatives in Islamic estate planning. This paper aims to shed light on the instrument of hibah as an alternative payment for nafkah (alimony) to the wife as security for maintaining the widow’s claim to the husband’s property after the husband's death. This study adopts a doctrinal approach as it requires an examination of the legislation relating to hibah and nafkah based on several legal provisions from the various statutes in Malaysia. This approach is important to clarify the current and existing legal provisions relating to hibah and nafkah from the various statutes as a specific hibah and nafkah law has not yet been enacted in Malaysia. Finally, this study is also based on library-based research where the data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Overall, this study provides valuable information on the existing legal provisions on hibah and nafkah in Malaysia and makes some important recommendations to safeguard the rights of women in property distribution, especially widows. It takes into account that Islam encourages the practise of systematic estate planning to ensure the rights of heirs to the deceased’s assets. The findings of this study will raise awareness of the need for proper wealth planning by the hibah for women, which will ultimately benefit widows after the death of their husbands.

Early Childhood Education: Listening to A Child’s Voices Through A/R/Tographic Journey
Authors: Zhang Mengkai
Published: October 2024

This inquiry explores the impact of child-led perspectives in art education, using the methodologies of a/r/tography and autoethnography to explore the intersection of artistic practice, personal reflection, and educational theory. The research was inspired by a transformative experience with a 7-year-old child at a spring camp, whose imaginative storytelling of a “tire kingdom”, where car tires live secret lives, reversed traditional adult-child dynamics. The child’s insights redefined my roles as an artist-researcher-teacher/learner, placing him in the role of teacher and myself as the learner. This reversal opened up new pathways for reflection and creativity, as his imaginative exploration became a catalyst for my own artistic practice. I created a series of illustrations based on our stories, which evolved into a picture book that amplifies children’s voices, illustrating the importance of recognizing children’s contributions to educational discourse. Through a/r/tography, which integrates art-making, research, and teaching, alongside autoethnography’s focus on personal and cultural reflection, this inquiry underscores the value of interdisciplinary approaches in understanding the fluid relationships between adult and child, teacher and student. It also highlights the importance of listening to and incorporating children’s imaginative inquiries as a means of enriching educational and artistic practices. By engaging in this child’s world, I not only deepened my own creative and educational practice but also discovered the potential of child-led inquiry to reverse-shape adult learning, fostering reciprocal, inter-generational dialogue and new forms of creative collaboration.
Inclusive Faculty Hiring: Promising Practices for Increasing Higher Education Faculty Diversity
Authors: Herman Bill D.
Published: October 2024

This paper reviews and synthesizes the extant work on promising practices in recruiting and hiring diverse college faculty in an equitable, inclusive process. First, I discuss the substantial demographic mismatch between faculty, the general working-age population, and undergraduate students. I then discuss the evidence that representational faculty diversity benefits students. I then integrate the literature on promising practices in inclusive faculty recruitment to recommend four strategies: better position advertisements, ongoing, proactive recruitment, thoughtful committee assignment and training, and a more deliberate, deliberative process. I offer multiple tactics within each strategy and urge institutions to adopt and prioritize whatever mix of these and other strategies/tactics makes the most sense for them.
Complex Interaction between Iron, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D During the Activation of Vitamin D
Authors: Russell-Jones Gregory John
Published: October 2024

Functional Vitamin D is required for absorption of calcium from the intestine and for regulating calcium and phosphorus deposition to ensure healthy bone density. More recently it has been found that vitamin D is also essential for maturation of neuronal stem cells. Activation of vitamin D is a multi-enzyme process, which requires a contribution of several co-factors including iron, vitamin B2 and vitamin B12. We have used urinary phosphoric acid as a marker of functional vitamin D deficiency, and have compared various urinary metabolic markers with phosphoric acid levels to follow the essential elements in vitamin D activation. Levels of phosphoric acid were increased in each of iron, vitamin B2 and vitamin B12 deficiency, with the greatest increase seen in low functional vitamin B12.
An Evaluation on Drug-Eluting Balloons in Arterial Circulatory Issues
Authors: Dinc Rasit
Published: October 2024

Endovascular interventions have recently become the first-line treatment for arterial diseases (AD). However, there is no consensus yet on the primary endovascular method. Intensive studies carried out in recent years have been aimed not only at the treatment of existing stenosis but also at preventing the narrowing problem. Drug-eluting balloons (DEB) have recently become a new alternative treatment in this context. DEB allows the release of antiproliferative drug into the stenosis area without leaving any stent strut. It increases the therapeutic effect by preventing intimal proliferation and restenosis. Available data show that DEB has satisfactory efficacy and low risk, is superior to BMS and is noninferior to DES. It may be a suitable alternative for preventing coronary and peripheral artery diseases and in-stent stenosis. This article aims to review current data on the use of DEB in arterial diseases.

Dysmenorrhea is the most prevalent gynecological symptom in menopausal women. Currently defined as menstrual cramps, it is on the list of the main complaints in gynecological consultations. A sub-classification forgotten in medical dictionaries is membranous dysmenorrhea (MD), which corresponds to the elimination of membranes through the vaginal canal. The definitive diagnosis requires anatomopathological study, and abortion is the main differential diagnosis. As there are few cases in the literature, this study aims to present a series of eight cases, highlighting the pathophysiology and comparing the data with other studies to encourage discussion on the subject. This is an observational, longitudinal, retrospective study including women with clinical membranous dysmenorrhea (spontaneous elimination of fibroelastic material via the vagina). The results show that of the eight patients, seven had used or were using exogenous female hormones; 62.5% of the total had MD in the 2nd - 3rd decade of life, two had had previous abortions, and one was nulliparous. All these facts have been associated in the literature as etiological or contributing factors to MD. However, while diverging from the literature, our article showed that the infection factor is not mandatory for the occurrence of MD. In conclusion, proposing a single pathophysiological and etiological mechanism based on a series of cases and in comparison with other data in the literature is a challenge. However, consistently with what has been published, most of the cases presented were the result of an increased vascular response of the endometrium when exposed to an exogenous source of estrogen and progesterone, and this could be a hypothesis which, of course, requires further studies to establish the exact casuistry, but which contributes greatly as a source of data for future research.

This study investigates the phenomenon of mobile addiction among engineering students in Coimbatore, a city renowned for its prestigious engineering institutions. Mobile addiction, characterized by excessive and compulsive use of smart phones, has become a pressing concern in higher education due to its potential adverse effects on academic performance, social relationships, and mental health. Utilizing a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 300 engineering students across various colleges in Coimbatore. The study examines the prevalence of mobile addiction, its impact on academic outcomes, social interactions, and psychological well-being, and identifies contributing factors such as academic pressure, social media usage, and availability of entertainment apps. Findings reveal that 65% of respondents exhibit signs of mobile addiction, with a higher incidence among male students and those in their first and second years of study. A significant correlation was found between high mobile usage and lower academic performance, highlighting distractions during lectures and study sessions as major issues. Socially, over half of the students reported feelings of isolation and conflicts in relationships due to excessive mobile use, alongside symptoms of anxiety and depression. The study underscores the urgent need for interventions to address mobile addiction in this demographic. Recommendations include implementing awareness programs, promoting digital well-being, encouraging face-to-face interactions, and providing counselling services to help students manage their mobile phone use effectively. By addressing these challenges, educational institutions can foster a healthier, more balanced approach to mobile technology, enhancing both academic success and overall well-being among engineering students in Coimbatore.

Gender Characteristics of the Psychoemotional Status of Students with Different Levels of Academic Performance
Authors: Gorbyleva K.
Published: October 2024

The study of the health of student youth remains one of the important areas in scientific research, since the task of higher educational institutions is not only to instill professional skills, but also to form a full-fledged personality. Neuropsychiatric adaptation is one of the keys, so it is important to identify the factors that influence its formation. 120 students of the medical faculty of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University were examined: 1) young men (n=30) and 2) girls (n=30) with high academic performance; 3) young men (n=30) and 4) girls (n=30) with low academic performance. We evaluated emotional intelligence according to the N. Hall scale, aggression according to L. G. Pochebut, the level of depression according to the Tsung test, emotional orientation according to B. I. Dodonov, level of self-esteem, style of behavior in conflict. Young men with high academic performance compared to similar girls are more likely to have a low level of emotional intelligence, high self-esteem, face mild depression, show more physical aggression, and have lower scores in communicative and aesthetic emotional orientation. Among those with low academic performance, girls, in comparison with young men, manage their own emotions worse, do not have high self-esteem, and have higher scores in communicative, hedonic and aesthetic emotional orientation. Sex differences in the psycho-emotional sphere are more clearly manifested among students with a high level of academic performance. The study of gender features in more detail assesses the psycho-emotional state of students, makes it possible to predict possible violations and timely carry out preventive or correctional measures, and, therefore, increase the success of adaptation.
Data Curation and Cartographic Narratives on Indigenous Circulation Networks in the Orinoco Region: Methodological Reflections on the Project Inventar Colombia
Authors: Afanador-Llach Maria José
Published: October 2024

Inventar Colombia: una mirada desde el Orinoco is a digital research project that seeks to reconstruct aspects of the geographic imagination, forms of relationship with nature and its resources, of at least 15 Indigenous groups that inhabited the Orinoco region between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. Responding to the limits to what we can know in the archive about the ways in which various Indigenous groups inhabited and conceived the territory, we carried out a process of curation and extraction of geospatial data in historical and archaeological sources. We identified some patterns of territorial occupation and exchange networks of the multiplicity of Indigenous communities that have inhabited the Orinoco region. From iterations for the construction of maps with QGIS and typical GIS conventions, we explored other forms of visualization and narrative construction to deploy the arguments of the research on the web. We proposed a CSM-free web interface developed with JavaScript and open-source libraries and developed a set of cartographic narratives.
Girls at War, Girls in War: Three Female African Child Soldier Narratives
Authors: Tembo Nick Mdika
Published: October 2024

In echoing Obioma Nnaemeka’s fluid understanding of the war front and her insistence on the need to expand the notion of war as armed conflict to incorporate the idea of war as a figure of violence against humanity and human dignity, this article examines witness narratives by and about former female African child soldiers in Uganda and Eritrea. A critical reading of China Keitetsi’s Child Soldier (2002), Senait Mehari’s Heart of Fire (2006), and Evelyn Amony’s I Am Evelyn Amony (2015) reveals that the girl child is continually in/at war, regardless of whether she is at home or on the battlefield. Adopting Judith Butler’s strand of precarity and her notion of framing, the article teases out the nodes of African female livelihood in the militarised patriarchal cultures related in the memoirs, emphasising how the female African child soldier’s body occupies, inhabits, and lives through spaces of combat and domestic violence. The study also examines the feminist critique of otherness and aggressiveness towards those whose lives are considered less grievable and the authors’ agentive paradigm in their writing.
Confronting (Post-)War Precariousness and Precarity: Socialist Yugoslav Literature for Children
Authors: Kobolt Katja
Published: October 2024

In this article I examine how literature for children re-established itself in the socially, economically, and institutionally devastated and nascent revolutionary precarious situation of the post-war period. I draw on a larger study of socialist Yugoslav literature for children (1945–91) and with reference to the first post-WWII issues of the Slovenian children's magazines Ciciban (1945–present) and Pionir (1945–90). I also explore how the emergent literature for children, particularly magazines, addressed a generation who had experienced violence, persecution, orphanhood, flight, internment, famine, occupation, and armed resistance, followed by post-war daily life. I draw on the concepts of ‘precariousness’ and ‘precarity’ (Butler) in the sense of an insecure existential state and the conditions for it. Instead of a top-down approach derived from totalitarianism research (usually employed in the examination of immediate post-war socialist production), a bottom-up approach that considers the complex relationships between (cultural)-political, (infra)structural, material, interpersonal, and affective contexts (as well as the historical objectifications that are embodied in the post-war production for children discussed here) allows a consideration of the past in a more complex light. It also highlights the overdue need for discussion on how to approach the topic of war with children in times of ‘more or less permanent war’ (Butler).
Understanding delusions to improve our mutual interactions: A précis of "Why Delusions Matter"
Authors: Bortolotti Lisa
Published: October 2024

Why Delusions Matter is a reflection on the importance of the study of delusions for better understanding and reshaping our mutual interactions. The study of delusions has transformed the philosophy of mind and psychology in the last thirty years, helping redefine the relationship between rationality and intentionality. It has still a lot to offer to emerging areas at the intersection of ethics and epistemology. These are areas where the focus of the investigation of beliefs is moving from a painstaking assessment of the individual’s cognitive achievements and failures to a broader examination of the environmental and social pressures on the adoption, revisions, and maintenance of beliefs at individual and collective levels. In the book, there is an exploration of the notion of delusionality across clinical and non-clinical contexts which shows how delusions are meaningful beliefs that matter to the speaker's identity but are received by the interpreter as implausible and unshakeable. Delusions are not pathological by default, but they can bring epistemic and psychological costs as well as temporary benefits. Although a speaker's delusions can make collaboration difficult, this should not discourage interpreters from attempts at genuine engagement. Delusions are not a sign of a breakdown in the speaker's capacity for agency and thus understanding them can help interpreters appreciate the speaker's perspective.
Revisiting delusions to demystify human agency: A response to critics
Authors: Bortolotti Lisa
Published: October 2024

In this paper, I re-elaborate some of the ideas presented in Why Delusions Matter (Bloomsbury 2023) in response to four commentaries on the book. My proposed conception of delusionality cuts across clinical and non-clinical contexts: an interpreter calls a speaker’s belief delusionalwhen the belief seems to be central to the speaker’s identity, but the interpreter finds it both implausible and unshakeable. Here I frame the emphasis on what all delusional beliefs have in common as an attempt to resist simplistic dichotomies about human agency. Ideal agents seek the truth and accurately represent the world, engaging with it in such a way as to further their goals, exercise control over themselves and the surrounding environment, and successfully coordinate with others. Human agents can sometimes rely on comforting illusions and constructed worlds to establish or restore a connection with other agents and the shared environment at challenging times. But coordination can fail, and control is always limited. Delusions are an expression of agency in the sense that they can be understood as a response to the epistemic and psychological needs of human agents. Delusions are meaningful and may contain germs of truth about the speaker. But they should be replaced when better strategies for engaging with the world become available to the speaker.

Penelitian ini merupakan upaya penulis untuk mengajak menelaah kembali tentang pentingnya penanaman karakter pada anak usia dini. Akhir-akhir ini sorotan terhadap karakter cukup serius dengan kata lain kualitas karakter masih jauh dari harapan. Kualitas karakter harus selalu diupayakan agar menjadi lebih baik lagi. Sekolah sebagai lingkungan pendidikan merupakan fondasi yang kokoh dalam proses pembentukan karakter. Pembentukan karakter membutuhkan pembiasaan sejak dini karena karakter tidak dapat dibentuk dalam waktu yang singkat. Adanya peran pendidikan, khususnya pendidikan sekolah akan sangat membantu dalam pembentukan pribadi yang utama. Sekolah merupakan salah satu lembaga yang ikut bertanggung jawab dalam pelaksanaan pendidikan yang ikut menentukan berhasil atau tidaknya pendidikan anak. Maka dari itu, guru dalam Islam memiliki kewajiban memberikan pendidikan dan bimbingan kepada anak-anaknya sebagai salah satu amanat dari Allah SWT. Anak sangat membutuhkan pendidikan dari orang tuanya, agar ia tumbuh dan berkembang menjadi anak yang berakhlak mulia, dan memiliki kecerdasan spiritual yang baik. Kecerdasan spiritual dapat berkembang ketika anak mempunyai karakter yang baik.

Rainfed agriculture is primarily limited by unstable low precipitation, poor soil fertility and monocropping, which are the main factors leading to decreased crop production. This long-term research was conducted under a rainfed agroecosystem from 2019 to 2023 on the sierozem soil of the Karshi steppe, Uzbekistan. Along with winter wheat (WW) which was the main crop covering 50% of each proposed cropping pattern, chickpea (CH), safflower (SA), flax (FL), barley (BA) and canola (CA) were evaluated to find the most suitable rotation systems under no-till (NT) i.e. NT1: WW–CH–WW–FL, NT2: CH–WW–SA–WW, NT3: WW–SA–WW–BA and NT4: SA–WW–CA–WW compared against continuous WW produced with conventional tillage (CT). Results showed that the integrated effect of NT x crop diversification x residue retention positively affected crop productivity; however, their impact were significantly higher under the NT2 treatment, but not with continuous WW under CT. The highest grain yield of WW in the 2020-2021 growing season was recorded under NT2 and NT4 treatments with values of 1.47 and 1.30 Mg ha-1, while the lowest index (1.02 Mg ha-1) was found at the CT treatment. The grain yield in the NT treatments increased with the improvement of soil chemical and physical parameters, i.e. NPK and humus content. When comparing NT2 to CT treatment at the project end, the total N, P, and K values at the 0–20 cm soil profile were 27.9%, 13.9%, and 33.9% higher, respectively. This study concluded that implementation of NT along with strategic selection of legumes incorporated into the cropping system and residue management can be prioritized as rehabilitation measures in rainfed croplands.
The primary stability of ultrashort residual proximal femur fixed with triangular fixation stem prosthesis: a comparative biomechanical study based on sawbones models
Authors: Hou Ziwei , Zheng Kai , Xu Ming , Yu Xiuchun
Published: October 2024

Background

Tumor resection near the proximal end of the femur and revision surgery of the distal femoral prosthesis may result in a very short bone segment remaining at the proximal end of the femur, known as ultrashort residual proximal femur (URPF). In this study, we propose a triangular fixation stem (TFS) prosthesis to improve the fixation of URPF. The aim of this research is to investigate the biomechanical properties of the TFS prosthesis and compare it with the conventional stem (CS) prosthesis through in vitro biomechanical experiments, providing preliminary biomechanical evidence for prosthetic fixation of URPF.

Methods

A biomechanical study was conducted using Sawbones to explore initial stability. Twelve Sawbones were used to create a bone defect model, and prostheses were designed and fabricated to emulate TFS fixation and CS fixation structures. Axial compression and horizontal torsion experiments were performed on the fixed models using a mechanical testing machine, recording maximum displacement, maximum torque, and femoral strain conditions.

Results

Under an axial compressive load of 2800 N, the overall displacement of the TFS group was 3.33 ± 0.58 mm, which was significantly smaller than that of the CS group (4.03 ± 0.32 mm, P = 0.029). The femoral samples of the TFS group demonstrated that the strain value alterations at the medial points 2, 3, 5, 6 and the lateral point 10 were conspicuously smaller than those of the conventional stem group (P < 0.05). Under torsional loads at levels of 1°, 3°, and 5°, the torques of the TFS group were 3.86 ± 0.69 Nm, 3.90 ± 1.26 Nm, and 4.39 ± 1.67 Nm respectively, all of which were significantly greater than those of the CS group (1.82 ± 0.82 Nm, P < 0.001; 2.05 ± 0.89 Nm, P = 0.016; 1.96 ± 0.50 Nm, P = 0.015 respectively).

Conclusion

The TFS prosthesis improves fixation strength and reduces strain on the femur’s proximal surface. Compared to CS fixation, it offers better resistance to compression and rotation, as well as improved initial stability.
