Twitter Discussions on #digitaldementia: Content and Sentiment Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Cho Hyeongchan , Kim Kyu-Min , Kim Jee-Young , Youn Bo-Young
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Digital dementia is a term that describes a possible decline in cognitive abilities, especially memory, attributed to the excessive use of digital technology such as smartphones, computers, and tablets. This concept has gained popularity in public discourse and media lately. With the increasing use of social media platforms such as Twitter (subsequently rebranded as X), discussions about digital dementia have become more widespread, which offer a rich source of information to understand public perceptions, concerns, and sentiments regarding this phenomenon.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this research was to delve into a comprehensive content and sentiment analysis of Twitter discussions regarding digital dementia using the hashtag #digitaldementia.

METHODS

Retrospectively, publicly available English-language tweets with hashtag combinations related to the topic of digital dementia were extracted from Twitter. The tweets were collected over a period of 15 years, from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2022. Content analysis was used to identify major themes within the tweets, and sentiment analysis was conducted to understand the positive and negative emotions associated with these themes in order to gain a better understanding of the issues surrounding digital dementia. A one-way ANOVA was performed to gather detailed statistical insights regarding the selected tweets from influencers within each theme.

RESULTS

This study was conducted on 26,290 tweets over 15 years by 5123 Twitter users, mostly female users in the United States. The influencers had followers ranging from 20,000 to 1,195,000 and an average of 214,878 subscribers. The study identified four themes regarding digital dementia after analyzing tweet content: (1) cognitive decline, (2) digital dependency, (3) technology overload, and (4) coping strategies. Categorized according to Glaser and Strauss’s classifications, most tweets (14,492/26,290, 55.12%) fell under the categories of wretched (purely negative) or bad (mostly negative). However, only a small proportion of tweets (3122/26,290, 11.86%) were classified as great (purely positive) or swell sentiment (mostly positive). The ANOVA results showed significant differences in mean sentiment scores among the themes (F3,3581=29.03; P<.001). The mean sentiment score was –0.1072 (SD 0.4276).

CONCLUSIONS

Various negative tweets have raised concerns about the link between excessive use of digital devices and cognitive decline, often known as digital dementia. Of particular concern is the rapid increase in digital device use. However, some positive tweets have suggested coping strategies. Engaging in digital detox activities, such as increasing physical exercise and participating in yoga and meditation, could potentially help prevent cognitive decline.

Key Points

Antihypertensive medications are often used by hemodialysis patients, and intradialytic hypotension is a common complication in these patients.

The study emulates a randomized clinical trial comparing antihypertensive drug treatment for the risk of hemodialysis hypotension in 4072 incident patients.

Compared with calcium antagonists, β and α–β blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II antagonists, and diuretics may increase the risk of hemodialysis hypotension.

Background

Antihypertensive medications are often prescribed to manage hypertension in hemodialysis patients, and intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a common complication in these patients. We investigated the risk of IDH in incident hemodialysis patients who initiated treatment with antihypertensive drugs in monotherapy.

Methods

The study was conducted as an emulation of a randomized clinical trial in 4072 incident hemodialysis patients who started antihypertensive drug treatment between January 2016 and December 2019. The primary outcome was the occurrence of IDH during hemodialysis sessions. The generalized estimating equation analysis was adjusted by inverse probability treatment weighting.

Results

Calcium channel blocker (CCB) use was associated with an IDH incidence rate of 7.4 events per person-year (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2 to 8.6). Compared with CCB use, use of β and α–β blockers was strongly associated with a higher likelihood of IDH (odds ratio [OR] [95% CI, 2.27; 1.50 to 3.43]). The use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (OR [95% CI, 1.71; 1.14 to 2.57]) and diuretics (OR [95% CI, 1.52; 1.07 to 2.16]) were also associated with a higher likelihood of IDH compared with CCB use.

Conclusions

The study suggests that using β and α–β blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers, and diuretics may increase the risk of IDH in hemodialysis patients compared with CCB use.

The Emergence and Differentiation of Changgeukdan during the New System Era
Authors: Baek Hyun mi
Published: July 2024

Several changgeukdans appeared and various creative changgeuk works were announced during the New System Era (新體制期, 1940-1945), a time when the Japanese wartime system was newly transformed. This study empirically investigated the emergence and differentiation of the changgeukdan, and the changes of changgeukdan managers and producers in relation to the controlling cultural policies during this period. With the implementation of the theatrical control and mobilization system, the changgeuk world changed significantly. First, during this period, several companies named “Changgeukdan” were formed, and new forces emerged through these companies. Joseon Seongak Yeonguhoe (조선성악연구회) was transformed into Changgeukjwa (창극좌) and then Joseon Changgeukdan (조선창극단), and Kim Yeon-soo emerged as its leader. In contrast, Hwarang (화랑) and Dongil Changgeukdan (동일창극단) actively presented new works, emphasizing its music choreographic characteristics, and Cho Seon-sun and Kim A-bu emerged as new forces in the field of composition, directing, and writing. Second, as the demand for new scripts aligned with Japanese imperialism national policy increased, the members of the Playwrights’ Club (극작가동호회), such as Park Jin, Lee Woon-bang, and Kim Gun, announced creative changgeuk works. Specifically, Park Jin was deeply involved in the changgeuk world, using several names. He led the establishment of Hwarang, was in charge of the director’s role in Changgeukjwa and Joseon Changgeukdan, and wrote a national propaganda plays. Meanwhile, Kim Yong-seung, who provided the performances of Joseon Seongak Yeonguhoe as an adaptation writer, left Joseon Changgeukdan and joined Dongil Changgeukdan, but withdrew without producing any new work. Third, social and cultural figures were involved in the establishment and operation of changgeukdans. Park Seok-ki served as the manager of Hwarang and Joseon Changgeukdan, and Yoon Baek-nam served as the representative of Bando Changgeukdan. In the organization of changgeukdans, there was also a “deliberation room” composed of “cultural authorities.” During the wartime period, new figures emerged in entire fields of changgeuk production, and cultural figures widely participated in the management of changgeukdans.
في ماليزيا: دراسة تحليلية تطبيقية (GLC) الزكاة على الشركات المرتبطة بالحكومة
Authors: Mohd Effandi Muhammad Lutfil Hadi , Shamsuddin Mustafa Mat Jubri
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the obligation of zakat on Government Linked Companies (GLCs), highlighting a disparity where most zakat is collected from salaries despite business taxes constituting over half of Malaysia’s tax revenue. The study aims to identify the shariah ruling concerning zakat on GLCs, by examining the requirements for zakat on both the payer and the wealth. It includes an analysis of Malaysian laws and fatwas related to zakat on GLCs, assessing the current applications and the feasibility of enforcing it on these entities. The study finds that al-fuqaha’ disagree on the obligation of governments to pay zakat on investment funds, with a majority deeming them exempt, while a minority advocate for their zakat obligation. The dispute arises from varying interpretations of zakat eligibility for certain types of governments’ wealth. Despite this, several Malaysian states have issued fatwas that seems to support the minority view. However, the enforcement of these rulings may be unconstitutional, due to some misalignments between state authority over zakat and federal authority over corporations

Published: July 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of intangible assets, on corporate financial performance and financial distress. Intangible assets in this study are explained by human capital efficiency (HCE), relational capital efficiency (RCE), structural capital efficiency (SCE), and capital employed efficiency (CEE). The measurement model often used is the extended value-added intellectual coefficient plus (EVAIC+) model by Ulum (2017), which is a model developed from a comparison of Edvinsson’s (1997) and Pulic’s (2000) models. Financial performance is measured by firm value with price to book value (PBV) proxy, and financial distress with Altman Z-score. This study was conducted using secondary data and sample selection using purposive sampling with samples being listed manufacturing companies in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and South Korea, Japan, and China Stock Exchanges for the period 2011–2021. The results of the study on Model 1 found that HCE, RCE, and CEE have a positive effect and significance and SCE have a negative effect and significance on firm value. Model 2 found that HCE, RCE, and CEE have a positive effect and SCE have a negative effect and significant on financial distress. The results of this study can be used as a reference for companies to be able to manage intangible assets, especially intellectual capital disclosure.
Assessment of learning of Platonic solids by using augmented reality and situations didactic theory
Authors: Carmona Ramírez Luis Hernando , Montoya-Suárez Luis Ángel
Published: July 2024

The augmented reality (AR) is a technology that combines in real time the environment information with the lived information of the virtual environment. This technology can be used in the theory of didactic situations (TDS) for the learning of spatial geometry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of AR and TDS on the learning of Platonic solids (PS) in junior high school (7th degree) students. 40 students were allotted in both an experimental -EG- (n=20) and a control group -CG- (n=20). Students from EG received a didactic sequence related to PS and AR and CG received a traditional study class with a 3D PS. The learning of the students of both groups was assessed by semiquantitative scale (from 1 to 4) comparing data gathered at the beginning of the study (pretest results) with data obtained after applying the didactic sequence or receiving the traditional study class. Results from both groups were compared with a U-Mann-Whitney test. Data were presented as median (range) A P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Pretest data revealed that the start previous knowledge about PS was similar between both groups. Posttest data shown that students of the EG learned better about PS than students of the CG. The use of AR and TDS could improve the learning PS in students because they can easily identify and interact with the common patterns of this geometric elements as if these were real objects.

Published: July 2024

Este trabajo muestra los resultados experimentales obtenidos de la fabricación y caracterización de metales celulares de poro abierto o interconectado, cuyo metal base fue una aleación de aluminio-silicio para fundición, utilizando una técnica de infiltración de rellenos removibles modificada. Como material de relleno se utilizó sal marina de alta pureza con tres rangos de tamaño de partícula. Las muestras obtenidas se caracterizaron en cuanto a su morfología y topología de poro utilizando Microscopía Electrónica de Barrido. Utilizando modelos matemáticos sencillos se determinaron características estructurales tales como, densidad, densidad relativa y porcentaje de porosidad. A partir de ensayos de compresión cuasi-estática se construyeron curvas de esfuerzo-deformación unitaria y se obtuvieron propiedades mecánicas propias de estos materiales, como la rigidez, el esfuerzo de meseta, la deformación de densificación y la capacidad de absorción de energía mecánica por deformación plástica. Los resultados muestran que al aumentar el tamaño de poro se incrementan la densidad, la densidad relativa y disminuyen la porosidad y la capacidad de absorción de energía.

Refractory juvenile xanthogranuloma of the mastoid bone responsive to trametinib
Authors: Hauk Isaac , Gonzalez-Gomez Ignacio , Chellapandian Deepak , Metts Jonathan , Shaw Peter
Published: July 2024

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a clonal non-Langerhans cell
histiocytic disorder characterized by a variety of cutaneous and
non-cutaneous manifestations, predominantly in children. The
mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway (MAPK) is a key driver in many
histiocytic disorders, including JXG. We report a rare presentation of
JXG in the mastoid bone of a which recurred after surgery and was
refractory to two lines of chemotherapy before responding to the MEK
inhibitor trametinib, even in the absence of an identifiable MAPK
pathway mutation. MEK inhibitors may be a therapeutic option for this
sometimes difficult to treat disease.

Migratory animals rely on multiple sites during their annual cycles.
Deteriorating conditions at any site can have population-level
consequences, with long-distance migrants seen as especially susceptible
to such changes. Reduced adult survival caused by persecution at
non-breeding sites has been suggested a major reason for the
catastrophic decline of a formerly abundant, Eurasian, longdistance
migratory songbird, the Yellow-breasted Bunting Emberiza aureola.
However, it is unknown whether the extinction of the species in the west
of its range could be related to differences in migration routes. We
investigated survival rates and migration routes of populations from
both western and eastern parts of the breeding range. We found moderate
apparent survival rates in eastern populations, but observed no
returning birds in western populations. Our tracking data highlights 1)
a joint migration corridor of eastern populations through eastern China,
2) long autumn stopovers likely used for moult and re-fuelling, and 3)
very long occurrences at non-breeding sites. These areas should be given
priority for future conservation measures. The lack of returning
individuals in the western populations could hint at reduced survival
rates due to additional pressures as a consequence of their potentially
longer migration route or lower breeding site fidelity.
Strategic Disclosure Incentives in a Multisegment Firm
Authors: Atanasov Tyler
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a unifying model of disclosure in the presence of competitors and supply market reliance to examine the role of multisegment operations on disclosure choice. A firm’s private information can have varying demand implications for its own portfolio of segments and for its competitors’ portfolios of segments. In multisegment firms, cross-firm spillovers of information discourage disclosure whereas cross-segment spillovers encourage disclosure. This suggests multisegment firms with more informationally diverse segments will have more incentives for transparency. Further, in multisegment firms, reliance on an imperfect supply market has less detrimental effects on transparency compared to single-segment firms. Supply market reliance is less detrimental for multisegment firms with a more diverse portfolio of segments. The results suggest that multisegment firms have more incentives for transparency relative to single-segment firms.

Oral Rehabilitation with Removable Partial Denture in a Patient with a Maxillary Defect Caused by a Firearm
Authors: do Nascimento Jaqueline Alves
Published: July 2024

The use of Removable Partial Denture (RPD) for the oral rehabilitation of patients who have suffered facial trauma and consequent tooth loss of several elements, serves as an alternative for replacing hard and soft tissues, as well as providing aesthetic and functional support. Facial trauma related to firearm injuries is a challenge for the surgical team, both in planning and during surgery, due to the destruction of anatomical planes and the multifragmentation of soft tissues and bone. The aim of this study is to report on the oral rehabilitation using removable prostheses of a patient who had suffered firearm trauma. Patient F. B. C., 30 years old, male, normosystemic, attended the postgraduate dental prosthesis clinic at Unichristus with the aim of rehabilitation after a firearm trauma. During the clinical assessment, a bone defect was observed in the anterior region of the maxilla, with the loss of several teeth and part of the alveolar bone structure. The plan was designed to rehabilitate the extensive bone loss caused by the trauma, through the use of an RPD, to promote the return of masticatory function, the patient's facial aesthetics and soft tissue support. The prosthesis was designed to use the remaining posterior teeth as a support and means of retention, aided by full coverage of the palate in order to bring more stability and comfort to the patient. At the end of the treatment, the aesthetic and functional aspects were restored, showing that this type of prosthesis is an alternative for rehabilitation in this type of case
Stomach Foreign Body: A Retrospective Study with a Review
Authors: goyal Sunder
Published: July 2024

Foreign bodies in the stomach may be accidental or voluntary swallowing. Most foreign bodies are due to unintentional ingestion except in insane people or drug peddlers who may be voluntary. Most of the time, coins are accidentally ingested by children. A rare phenomenon is accidental ingestion of a size 16 to 20 cm in length (toothbrush) foreign body in a sane person. Oesophageal foreign bodies are not as risky as airway foreign bodies. These foreign bodies can obstruct and are located at the oesophagus cricopharynx constriction, the crossover of the aortic arch at the mid-oesophagus, and the lower end. After reaching the stomach, most ingested foreign bodies less than 6 cm will pass uneventfully through the gastrointestinal tract, as in 10 patients who consumed one/two rupee coins. Nevertheless, long and rigid foreign bodies like toothbrushes can result in gastrointestinal impaction, perforation and bleeding. Moreover, there have been a few case reports of spontaneous passage of a toothbrush, and promptly removing such ingested foreign objects is recommended before complications develop. Treatment option remains controversial considering the waiting policy or intervention, either endoscopic or surgical. This study describes 11 patients, 10 cases of coin ingestion and one case of the swallowed toothbrush. Ten cases of coin ingestion were managed conservatively. Upper midline laparotomy was done to remove the toothbrush as removal via flexible endoscopy failed. A swallowed toothbrush is a special clinical challenge. Early retrieval of the toothbrush is critical for reducing morbidity.
Does the Time taken to Remove the Syndesmosis Screw Influence the Onset of Tibiotalar Osteoarthritis
Authors: Kennedy Muluem Olivier
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Syndesmosis lesions are common in ankle trauma. They can be treated with screws (rigid fixation) or endobuttons (elastic fixation). When rigid fixation is chosen, the problem arises as to how long it should be removed, since according to some authors, prolonged retention of the screw can impair ankle biomechanics and lead to osteoarthritis in the long term. In our study, for various reasons, this screw was either removed at different times or remained in place. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the time taken to remove the syndesmosis screw on the outcome of the ankle. Materials and method: We carried out a cross-sectional, analytical study with a retrospective and a prospective phase. Patients presenting with ankle trauma with syndesmostic lesion, without risk factors for osteoarthritis were included. Parameters such as age, sex, radiological analysis postoperatively and at the last follow-up, time to removal of the syndesmosis screw and AOFAS score for functional assessment. Data were analyzed using CS Pro7.5 software. Results: Eighty-one patients participated in the study. Mean age was 47.21 ±16.88. The majority were men, with a sex ratio of 1.38. All patients underwent surgical treatment with screw fixation of the syndesmosis. According to the time of screw removal, 02 were removed before 8 weeks, 20 between 8-12 weeks and 49 after 12 weeks. Assessment using the AOFAS score showed excellent results in 17 patients (21%), good results in 28 patients (35%), fair results in 27 patients (33%) and poor results in 9 patients (11%). The analysis between the time of screw removal and the onset of osteoarthritis showed signs of osteoarthritis beyond 12 weeks, with a rate of 44.4%. Conclusion: A syndesmosis screw left in place for more than 12 weeks increases the risk of osteoarthritis.
An Initial Exploration of Homoeopathic Medicines Effectiveness in Treating PCOS: A Pilot Study
Authors: V Jayasree
Published: July 2024

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects reproductive-age women worldwide. Conventional treatments for PCOS often include hormonal therapy and lifestyle modifications, but these approaches may have limitations and side effects. In this scenario, Homeopathy offers an alternative approach to managing PCOS, by focusing on individualized treatment. This pilot study aimed to explore the efficacy of individualized homoeopathic remedies in the treatment of PCOS. 10 cases were randomly selected from the OPD of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College Hospital. Based on the inclusion criteria all the cases were selected for the study and the diagnosis was based on clinical presentations. Those ten patients diagnosed with PCOS were treated with the homeopathic remedies over a period of three months. Among the ten patients, Pulsatilla, Calcarea carbonicum, Thuja occidentalis were given in 200th potency. The results demonstrated significant improvements in PCOS symptoms, suggesting the potential of the commonly indicated remedies as part of a comprehensive PCOS management strategy.
The Relation of Pain Chronification Factors and Neurocognition in Chronical Pain Syndrome A Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Clinical Study
Authors: Schmidt Janna , M Fritz , M Weisbrod
Published: July 2024

Objective: In the ICD-11, pain duration of at least three-months was maintained as main criterion for defining chronic pain. Psychosocial risk factors, commonly referred to as "yellow flags", offer insights into psychological risk factors that contribute to the process of chronification. Psychological factors that contribute to chronification are associated with neurocognitive performance. Thus, our research investigates the impact of pain duration, a key indicator of pain chronification, along with other pertinent psychological factors influencing chronicity, on neurocognitive functioning. Methods: A cohort of 40 patients with chronic pain syndrome (CP) and 41 healthy controls (HC) with no significant between group differences in age, gender, education, or intelligence underwent thorough assessments. Assessments included comprehensive neurocognitive evaluations conducted at three time points and a standardized driving simulator task. Results: The results of this study demonstrate that relations of pain duration on neurocognition exist, but nearly disappear when considering relevant factors contributing to chronicity. The results revealed key factors associated with chronification, referred to as "yellow flags”, with predictive impacts on neurocognition. These factors encompassed affective pain perception and pain-induced psychological helplessness, serving as indicators of pain processing. Conclusion: The study underscores the significance of understanding factors contributing to pain chronification and their impact on cognition. Yellow flags and their impact on cognition should be given more consideration in basic science as well as in clinical and therapeutic settings.
BASIC DISTORTION STABILITY OF A HUMAN BODY MENTAL REPRESENTATION AFTER A SERIES OF IMMERSIONS IN VIRTUAL REALITY
Authors: Varlamov Andrey V. ,   Ryazan State Medical University,   Institute of Psychology of Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: July 2024

The article examines the stability of the basic distortion of bodysize mental representation after a series of immersions in virtual reality (VR), as well as their individual psychological conditionality. It was previously found that during immersion in VR, statistically significant distortions (additional exaggerations) of the body sizes arise in mental representation. Moreover, during a series of repeated immersions in VR, patterns of change in the basic (habitual for the respondent) distortion of the mental representation of body size were established. The issue of long-term sustainability of the identified distortions is considered in this study. Empirical data are presented on the basic distortion of the mental representation of the body in two homologous experimental samples of respondents (Group 1, n = 31, 27F, 4M, 20.1 ± 0.72 years, BMI 22.42 ± 3.75; Group 2, n = 33, 26F, 7M, 19.62 ± 1.21 years, BMI 20.76 ± 3.55). Involving two stratified samples over a two-year period, the study made it possible to compare the distortions in the mental representation of the body size after VR immersions, and also to verify their reproducibility among different respondents. First measurements were made before a series of VR immersions, and the final ones several months after their completion. It has been established that in the long term, the basic distortion of body size mental representation is stable and does not differ from the original one. This phenomenon is typical of both samples of respondents. Individual psychological correlates of basic distortion have been established. In particular, the level of expression of the factor of emotional lability of respondents is associated with its intensity.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DE PRÁTICAS DA TRANSPARÊNCIA PASSIVA PARA A BOA APLICAÇÃO DE RECURSOS DA SAÚDE

Published: July 2024

A Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI - 12.527/2011), alargou as fronteiras da disponibilidade de informações à sociedade, intensificando a transparência ativa, bem como determinando a instituição dos Serviços de Acesso à Informação (SIC), sejam físicos e eletrônicos na perspectiva da transparência passiva. O artigo trata da verificação da disponibilidade de canais de informação ao cidadão por entes municipais que tiverem determinação para devolução de recursos financeiros de Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPA-24h) em 2022, no montante de mais de R$ 30 milhões (R$ 30.285.771,38), diante de monitoramento do Ministério da Saúde (MS). A metodologia, portanto, referiu-se a estudo de casos em 15 municípios brasileiros, com abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-so de análise documental do registro administrativo da Escala Brasil Transparente da Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), de avaliação 360º, 2ª edição; e Portaria GM/MS n º 4.277 de 06/12/2022 que cancela propostas de obras de UPA (24h). Os resultados apontaram que mais de 80% dos entes ofertavam um SIC físico e 85% um SIC eletrônico, no entanto 33% desses entes apresentavam exigências exageradas de identificação e de justificativas para os pedidos dos cidadãos contrariando os artigos art. 10, §1º e 2º da LAI. E 53% dos entes não divulgam a sua LAI em local de fácil acesso. Espera-se a promoção de melhores práticas de transparência passiva com a finalidade de fomentar a cultura da transparência e do controle social com canais que sirvam de instrumento para o monitoramento da aplicação dos recursos federais da saúde.
Material Processes in BBC’s Articles on Plastic Pollution
Authors: Windy Alwasilah Autumn , Tuckyta Sari Sujatna Eva , Maulia Indrayani Lia
Published: July 2024

Like many other pressing problems in today's society, plastic pollution is being investigated by linguists under the subcategory of ecolinguistics. In this context, the present study tries to identify the material process in BBC's selected articles on plastic pollution. In particular, by using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014), the study qualitatively analyzes the way how material processes in SFL indicate something that has been done physically between two entities in a clause. This research explains verbs as material processes in clauses and the function of their appearance in BBC’s selected articles based on transitivity analysis as part of SFL and categorizes them as creative or transformative processes. From this research, it can be seen that the material process is very useful in writing texts, especially in defining a process, whether it is creative, or transformative. From the analysis, the actor tends to change of some aspects of the existing things, rather than creating the new ones by the process. Keywords: BBC, ecolinguistics, material process, plastic pollution, systemic functional linguistics
An Analysis of Lexical Bundles in Research Articles: Examples from Natural and Social Sciences
Authors: Karima Zulyanputri Annur
Published: July 2024

This present research investigates the use of lexical bundles in research articles across different disciplinary areas: natural science and social science. The results showed that there are some differences in the use of lexical bundles between disciplines in the term of frequency, structures, and functions. We found that the frequency of lexical bundles can vary between natural science and social science RA. For example, the lexical bundle "in the learning process" is more common in natural science, while the lexical bundle "on the other hand" is more common in social science. Based on the structural forms, the most common structural form of lexical bundles in natural science RA is verb-based. While the most common structural form of lexical bundles in social science RA is prepositional-based. The contradiction suggests that in terms of structure, there are differences between natural and social science RA writing styles, how the authors establish arguments, and also present results. Meanwhile from the functional classifications, we can conclude that both types of RA have the same order in terms of the frequency of the functional use, with research-oriented bundles being the most frequent. The findings can be used to improve the readability of research articles in one discipline, as well as to help researchers learn the conventions of writing in one discipline.

Authors: Maswanto  , Husainah Nazifah , Risyadi Ilham Irsyad
Published: July 2024

This study uses job satisfaction as an intervening variable to examine how corporate culture and “transformational” leadership affect employee performance. The Civil Servant of the Lebak Regency’s Ministry of Religious Affairs is the subject of this study. The survey was completed by 105 people in total. A sample of 140 government officials working at the Office of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Lebak Regency and KUA of Lebak Regency was selected using the Slovin formula. Purposive sampling is the method of sampling that is employed. The partial least squares method, or SmartPLS, was used to analyze the data using path analysis. The study’s findings demonstrate that employment satisfaction has a positive and significant relationship with transformational leadership, organizational power has a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction, and employee performance has a positive and significant relationship with organizational culture. In the meantime, organizational culture through work happiness has a favorable and significant impact on employee performance, as does transformational leadership through job satisfaction. Additionally, job happiness and corporate culture through transformational leadership have a stronger impact on worker performance than employee performance is directly impacted by company culture and transformational leadership without having to. Meanwhile, transformational leadership has a favorable and significant effect on employee performance through work satisfaction, and organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on employee performance through job satisfaction. Furthermore, the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture on employee performance through job satisfaction is greater than the influence of transformational leadership and organizational culture directly on employee performance without going through the variable of job satisfaction.
Müze-i Hümâyûn ve Teşkilatı

Published: July 2024

Osmanlı Devleti’nin imparatorluk müzesi, Topkapı Sarayı’nın
bahçesinde kurulan Müze-i Hümâyûn’dur. İmparatorluğun her bölgesinde
çeşitli sebeplerle ortaya çıkan eski eserlerin layık oldukları şekilde teşhir
edileceği bir mekânın eksikliği, müzenin tesisini zorunlu hale getirmiştir.
Müzecilik bilimsel bir alan olarak kabul edildiğinden, Müze-i Hümâyûn
Maarif Nezareti’ne bağlı bir alt kurum olarak devlet teşkilatı içinde yerini
alırken, gerekli görülürse yenileri eklenmek üzere, kuruluş aşamasında altı
bölüme ayrılmıştır. Bölümlerin ilki Yunan ve Roma medeniyetinin, ikincisi
Asur, Keldanî, Mısır, Fenike, Hamirî ve Arap kavimlerinin ürettiği eski
eserlerdir. Üçüncü bölüm İslam Sanatı, dördüncü bölüm Nümizmatik,
beşinci bölüm Tabiat Tarihi, altıncı bölüm ihtisas kütüphanesidir. Müze-i
Hümâyûn kısa zamanda çok kıymetli koleksiyonlara sahip olmuşsa da ihtisas
sahibi personeli yoktu. Bu yüzden ilk müze müdürleri, envanter ve katalog
yapan görevlileri, birkaç yıllık sözleşmelerle istihdam edilen Avrupalı
uzmanlardan oluşmuştur. Her geçen gün artan kazılar, kazılardan çıkan
eserlerle zenginleşen müze koleksiyonuna ait eserlerin envanterinin
yapılarak kataloglarının hazırlanmasının yanı sıra, müzenin iç işleyişi ve
personelle ilgili işlemlerinin takibi de gerekliydi. Dahili işler yabancı
müdürlerle yapılamadığından idare ikiye ayrılmıştı. Ardından müze
müdürünün de Osmanlı vatandaşlarından biri olması tercih edilerek,
Osman Hamdi Bey müze müdürü olarak atanmıştır.
Bu çalışmanın amacı Müze-i Hümâyûn’un ilk teşkilat yapısını ortaya
çıkarmaktır. Bunun yanında, kuruluş döneminde kimlerin hangi unvanlarla
çalıştığı tespit edilerek, değişik tarihler için oluşturulan tablolarda isim ve
unvanlarına yer verilmesine gayret edilmiştir. Kuruluş döneminde müzede
görev yapan personel ile bugün müzelerde görev yapan personelin yetki ve
sorumlulukları karşılaştırılarak, kuruluşundan bugüne müzeciliğin geldiği
nokta tartışılmıştır.
A balneoterápia szerepe a 2-es típusú diabetes mellitus komplex kezelésében – irodalmi áttekintés

Published: July 2024

A 2-es típusú diabetes mellitus egyre növekvő terhet ró az egészségügyi ellátórendszerekre. Az IDF (International Diabetes Federation) 2019-es összefoglalója szerint tizenegyből egy felnőtt diagnosztizált cukorbeteg; becslések szerint 2045-re az anyagcserezavar már több mint 700 millió embert érinthet majd világszerte. Gyakran már a 2-es típusú diabétesz diagnózisának pillanatában észlelhetőek mikro- és/vagy makrovaszkuláris szövődmények, melyek morbiditási és mortalitási rizikónövekedést, a hospitalizációk számának emelkedését is jelenthetik. Az egyre nagyobb jelentőséggel bíró prevenció mellett a betegség kezelése holisztikus szemléletet igényel. Az életmód- és dietoterápia, valamint a gyógyszeres kezelés mellett további lehetőségek kínálkoznak az anyagcsere javítására és a szövődmények kialakulásának lassítására. Természetes ásványvizekkel, termálvizekkel történő kezelések, ivókúrák, fürdőkúrák már az 1950-es évektől kezdve egyre nagyobb teret hódítanak különböző metabolikus eltérések esetén, és így a balneoterápia már nem csak a mozgásszervi bántalmak enyhítésére szolgáló kezelési módszer lett. Az utóbbi évtizedekben felmerült az egész test melegítésével – a maghőmérséklet emelésével – járó hőterápiás kezelések kedvező hatása a különféle anyagcsere-folyamatokra. Ezek a kezelések tartós és rendszeres alkalmazás esetén elsősorban hősokkproteinek aktiválásával számos kedvező változást, pl. a mikroinflammáció csökkenése, az inzulinszenzitivitás növelése, eredményezhetnek. Bizonyos kultúrákban széleskörűen elterjedt hagyománya van a hőterápia (szauna, hot tub) hétköznapi, akár otthoni alkalmazásának. Összefoglalásunk célja a balneoterápiás és hőterápiás módszerek diabéteszes betegekben történő alkalmazásának, hatásosságának áttekintése volt a rendelkezése álló irodalmi források alapján.
The Architectural Intersection of Museums and Disability Policy
Authors: Mills Shara
Published: July 2024

The way in which people with disabilities devise methods to move through the world and faced barriers before architectural modifications evolved based on legislation intersects with the architectural preservation of culturally significant sites, specifically museums. By excluding the disabled community in museum spaces, it perpetuates the ableist mindset of society further by limiting information, creating a disparity in cultural climate and community belonging. How do museums preserve historical significance, while also creating a space for all? In order to devise an accepting space within museums and go beyond the idea of inclusion, people within public spaces need to strive to understand the way that individuals interact with the institution, while adjusting the space in an inherent way to include access for all beyond the legal policy.
Political Degradation of Human Rights and Art Education
Authors: Willis Steve , Richards Allan
Published: July 2024

In this article, we argue that not educating all people about human rights adversely impacts the education of children, world poverty, police brutality, politics, and the environment. We also argue that the type of character leaders have can inform them of the importance of advancing human rights for all. As a practical and specific matter, the advancement of human rights is essential to achieve equality and justice for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and other marginalized groups to promote peace, harmony, and civil rights in society. Peace and harmony should be normal in our schools and communities, but stress and conflict are commonplace, particularly with the rise of Fascism and Nazi influence by the conservative right-wing section of society who want to control educational policies. Peace and harmony lead to empathy to embrace kindness, grace, justice, and equity which directly influences social awareness for human rights. Without human rights, there is an existential threat to the normalization of society and we as art educators should be concerned and vigorously teach these concepts in our classrooms.
Troubles and Sweets: Reflecting Critically on Historical Offerings for Contemporary Issues
Authors: Stokes-Casey Jody
Published: July 2024

Implementing critical reflective practice, an art education professor details the design of a preservice undergraduate-level learning module to address troubling anti-trans legislation in their state. While centering contemporary art featuring a historically significant local hero, a drag queen by the name of Sweet Evening Breeze, and resisting a didactic or progress narrative, the author reflects on power dynamics, centering joy, and the importance of partnerships in art teacher preparation.
