Neural activity differentiates novel and learned event boundaries
Authors: Ezzyat Youssef , Clements Abby
Published: June 2024

People parse continuous experiences at natural breakpoints called event boundaries, which is important for understanding an environment’s causal structure and for responding to uncertainty within it. However, it remains unclear how different forms of uncertainty affect the parsing of continuous experiences and how such uncertainty influences the brain’s processing of ongoing events. We exposed human participants of both sexes (N = 34) to a continuous sequence of semantically meaningless images. We generated sequences from random walks through a graph that grouped images into temporal communities. After learning, we asked participants to segment another sequence at natural breakpoints (event boundaries). Participants segmented the sequence at learned transitions between communities, as well as at novel transitions, suggesting that people can segment temporally extended experiences into events based on learned structure as well as prediction error. Greater segmentation at Novel boundaries was associated with enhanced parietal scalp EEG activity between 250-450 ms after stimulus onset. Multivariate classification of EEG activity showed that Novel and Learned boundaries evoked distinct patterns of neural activity, particularly theta band power in posterior electrodes. Learning also led to distinct neural representations for stimuli within the temporal communities, while neural activity at Learned boundary nodes showed predictive evidence for the adjacent community. The data show that people segment experiences at both learned and novel boundaries and suggest that learned event boundaries trigger retrieval of information about the upcoming community that could underlie anticipation of the next event in a sequence.

Significance StatementPeople make sense of their continuous experience by segmenting it into meaningful units at event boundaries. Event boundaries influence cognitive function in a variety of ways, however it remains unclear how different forms of uncertainty affect the parsing of continuous experiences, and how such uncertainty might influence the brain’s processing of ongoing events. We found that although people segment experiences at both learned and novel boundaries, brain activity diverges rapidly (250-450 ms post-stimulus) in response to different types of event boundaries. The findings suggest the brain can flexibly respond to event boundaries of distinct types, which could support dynamic modulation and updating of neural activity in response to ongoing experience.

Leaf morphological variation in Betula medwediewii Regel populations from Türkiye
Authors: Bozkurt Arzu Ergül
Published: June 2024

Leaf variations of Betula medwediewii in Türkiye with respect to its distribution pattern were studied because this plant taxon is a Euxine element and a distinct relict species in Türkiye. In this context, the aim of this study is to investigate variations in leaf morphological characteristics within and among B. medwediewii populations in natural distribution areas in Türkiye. Thus, the morphological leaf characteristics of four populations of B. medwediewii growing at different elevations spanning from 1472 to 2065 m.a.s.l in two cities (Artvin and Rize) and four boroughs (Arhavi, Borçka, Murgul, and Çamlıhemşin) of Türkiye were analyzed. The four populations were selected based on their natural distribution and 1,200 leaf samples belonging to 40 individuals were measured with ImageJ. According to the results of correlation analysis, statistically significant relationships were determined among morphological leaf characteristics. Mean values for petiole length (1.16 cm), leaf width (5.11 cm), leaf length (7.96 cm), length of lamina (6.79 cm), leaf area (26.62 cm²), leaf vein angle (54.21°), and number of primary leaf veins (20.03) were determined in all populations. Because B. medwediewii contributes to biodiversity and can preserve the ecological stability of the Turkish forest area, its conservation is crucial.

Published: June 2024

Objective: Climate change impacts public health, however, for its level of implication it is a topic little discussed within the training of health personnel, so the purpose of this study was to assess the awareness and perception of medical students on climate change and its impact. Method: A qualitative, cross-sectional and descriptive research method was used and a survey was designed to collect quantitative and qualitative data. The sample was defined under the non-probabilistic strategy by convenience with a total of 112 students of the Bachelor's Degree in Surgeon and Midwife, from the first to the eighth semester in universities corresponding to the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. Analysis: Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis and public health frameworks. Results: One hundred and ten students from the sample completed the survey. A bias was identified in the general knowledge of what climate change implies and misinformation regarding the extent of its effects on the health and daily life of individuals, at the same time a predominant feeling of concern was identified in relation to its consequences. Conclusion: There is a deficiency of information on climate change among undergraduate medical students. Climate change is a global reality. The world needs to work collectively on this issue and education is the first critical step that requires the attention of health professionals.
Interest of the tongue flap in the repair of endo buccal substance loss
Authors: Benzenzoum Zahira
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The tongue flapis a simple, reliable, but little-used technique, presenting an excellent alternative for reconstruction of oral cavity substance loss. Materials, methods: We carried out a retrospective study over a 3-year period, involving 10 cases of patients presenting with oral substance loss, collated within the maxillo-facial and aesthetic surgery department of CHU MED 6 in Marrakech. Results: Our therapeutic arsenal includes tongue flaps: distal, proximal and ventral pedicle, with indications for several topographical regions. The procedure was well to lerated by our patients, and our results showed excellent short-termhealing, as well as the flaps proving viable in the long term. Discussion: the tongueflapis a simple, reliable and easy technique that has been abandoned in favor of more complex and sometimes more deleterious techniques for the patient. Based on ourexperience and reviewing the experience of others, it is clear that the tongueflapis a useful and versatile option for the repair of endooral SDB. With longer follow-up, the key patient out comes will be come more evident. Conclusion: The relative simplicity of this technique and its potential advantages over more established techniques make it an ideal solution when resources are limited.
A rare origin of the internal thoracic artery on the left thyro-cervical trunk

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The internal thoracic artery is known for its anatomical variations and their clinical implications. It has important anatomical characteristics that make it an excellent arterial graft for myocardial vascularization. However, data from the literature report variations regarding the origin, course, and termination of the internal thoracic artery. Through this dissection work we wanted to report a rare origin of the left internal thoracic artery directly from the thyrocervical trunk, instead of its usual subclavian origin. Material and methods: The dissected patient was a 64-year-old subject with no history of cervical region surgery or previous deformity. The cadaver showed no asymmetry about the shoulders or the lateral cervical regions, it had been preserved in a non-formaldehyde solution. Initially, on the subject in supine position, the lateral triangle of the neck was approached and a cleidectomy was performed. The subclavian artery and its collaterals were dissected, identified, and marked. The collateral branches of the subclavian artery were injected with a solution made from a mixture of gelatin, methylene blue and iron powder. Dissection of the subclavian artery and its collateral branches was then continued until their course was fully exposed. Results: On the course of the left subclavian artery and after the left vertebral artery, we found a thyrocervical trunk giving rise to 4 classic terminal branches, among which an oblique left internal thoracic artery due to its more lateral birth than d 'habit. Discussion/Conclusion: The left internal thoracic artery is the first choice in coronary bypass surgery because of the permeability of the graft. However, an abnormal origin of the internal thoracic artery on the thyrocervical trunk and a modification of its proximal course, can firstly increase the risk of vascular lesions during different invasive procedures of the lateral triangle of the neck. secondly, they can have circulatory consequences in the vertebrobasilar arterial system. It is important for the practitioner to resort to a morphological study of this region to expose and prevent this anatomical variation.

Authors: Kuna Peter , Haskova Alena , Haller Ján , Hrbáček Jiří , Timor Tsafi
Published: June 2024

Aim. In the paper the authors briefly describe a methodology they proposed to innovate engineering education at secondary vocational schools in the field of CAD/CAE systems, and subsequently in a more detail they analyse teachers´ experiences and opinions on the use of the proposed methodology, and to it designed teaching materials, in their teaching practice.
Methods. The proposed innovative way of the CAD/CAE system teaching is based on inverting the ratio of the time allowance between teaching technical drawing, and teaching modelling and simulation from 2:1 to 1:2. The stated inverting enables on the one hand to reduce by half the number of teaching lessons allocated to creation of technical documentation, and on the other hand to double the number of teaching lessons devoted to modelling and simulations.
Results. As a main output of the proposed innovative approach of the CAD/CAE system teaching two textbooks were created which can be used in teaching the subjects focused on technical drawing knowledge and skills acquisition at secondary vocational schools according to the newly proposed alternative way of teaching methodology of CAD/CAE systems.
Conclusion. The created teaching materials supporting the teaching of CAD/CAE systems according to the proposed methodology undergone through an experimental implementation process at a selected sample of vocational schools in conditions of real pedagogical practice. Evaluation of the obtained experiences was done in a frame of a panel discussion.
Surviving in a Provisional Workplace: Foreign Lecturers’ Practices in an Asian HEI
Authors: Sipe Marlon , Lemana Henry , Saludadez Jean
Published: June 2024

Aim. Drawing upon the foundational principles of the ethnomethodological perspective, the present study delves into the viewpoints of English as a foreign language (EFL) lecturer concerning teaching as a discipline and their corresponding teaching practices within the context of a provisional workplace in an Asian university.
Methods. Five conveniently and purposively sampled participants were subjected to in-depth interviews to seek answers to the following research questions: (a) What are the views of the participants on their temporary appointments as EFL lecturers? (b) How do these views define their teaching practices in the classroom to survive in a provisional environment? The analysis brings to the surface recurring themes and patterns, providing valuable insights into how the participants survived in an academic environment that gave them non-executive positions.
Results. Results indicated a multiplicity of views on their temporary appointments as EFL lecturers: Temporary appointments as a policy and student-centered position, a venue for professional standards, and a venue for career advancement. These views prompted them to blend with the local culture and accordingly to perform culturally appropriate teaching practices.
Conclusion. It can be concluded that fostering cultural awareness, building strong interpersonal relationships, and pursuing continuous professional development are essential components for EFL teachers to excel in their roles. Additionally, institutions and stakeholders play a crucial role in creating an environment that acknowledges and bolsters the significant contributions of temporary EFL lecturers, thereby enabling them to make a lasting and positive impact within the academic community. Additional implications are discussed.

Published: June 2024

Aim. Empirical research and theoretical substantiation of the types of self-realisation of future teachers who did an educational-professional training course under conditions of a digital educational environment. Investigating the types of self-realisation and establishing statistically significant correlations with the research parameters of educational-professional training for future teachers will allow finding important scientific facts that will possess novelty and be of scientific interest for organisers of educational and scientific activities in a digital educational environment.
Methods. The representative sample involved students of the final years of pedagogical educational programmes of Bachelor’s and Master’s studies. Methodological foundations of the research are the main statements of the concepts of self-realisation, self-actualisation and self-regulation in educational activity.
Results. Spearman (rs) correlation coefficient allowed us to find that “value orientations”, “time competence”, “cognitive needs” and “creativity of activity” are the most important and dependent parameters. k-means clustering allowed identifying four types of self-realisation: “Value-oriented self-realisation”; “Temporal self-realisation”; “Passive self-realisation” and “Pragmatic self-realisation”. It explained that high external negative motivation in the type of passive self-realisation is not directly related to the process and results of educational-professional activity, but only reflects future teachers’ attitude towards it. It was highlighted that future teachers with a value-oriented type of self-realisation are ready to devote themselves to pedagogical activity and consider it to be the meaning of their life.
Conclusion. It was recommended that the established empirical facts possessing cognitive value, scientific and theoretical novelty should be implemented in creation and improvement of a digital educational environment.
How social network analysis informs translation studies: A systematic review
Authors: Li Yizhu , Li Wenlu , Ma Pei
Published: June 2024

Since the early 2000s when the possibility of a network approach in translation studies (TS) was noted, social network analysis (SNA) has been applied to explore the relational complexity of various translational agents in practical, industrial, academic, and educational settings. Through a systematic review, this paper shows that SNA's major contributions to TS have been mainly in areas of translation history, translation economy, translation scientometrics, translation education, and online collaborative translation. It also identifies how SNA has adapted to and complemented other methodological and theoretical approaches in TS under two paradigms, i.e., explanatory structuralist and exploratory complex paradigms. In light of the review, strengths and weakness of these paradigms are discussed, and suggestions are provided for further research on their confluence, which is characterized by a less reductionist analytic model with appropriate explanatory power in a closer symbiosis between complexity theory and SNA.

Authors: Shirokikh Irina M. , Khakimova Gulnoz G. , Zikiryakhodzhaev Aziz D. , Khakimova Shakhnoz G.
Published: June 2024

Background. The surgical stage remains the main one in the combined and complex treatment of breast cancer. Radical mastectomy and reconstructive plastic surgery are the main option for surgical treatment of vast majority patients. Radiation therapy can lead to the development of complications after breast reconstruction, and vice versa, the reconstructed mammary gland can cause technical difficulties for the radiologist to properly adjust the required dose of irradiation.
Aim — to choose the optimal method of breast reconstruction using various implants, as well as endoprostheses to minimize post-radiation complications and maintain a high level of quality of life for patients after breast cancer treatment.
Methods. The retrospective study was conducted in the department of oncology and reconstructive plastic surgery of the breast and skin in the P.A. Herzen Moscow Research Oncology Institute from June 2013 to November 2017. There were performed 132 operations: 111 subcutaneous mastectomy with one-stage reconstruction with an endoprothesis and 21 mastectomy with a one-stage reconstruction with an endoprothesis. The distribution by stages: I — 57, IIA — 39, IIB — 17, IIIA — 13, IIIC 4; 2 cases of breast sarcoma. Prophylactic mastectomy of the contralateral gland was performed in 22 patients, mastopexy in 8, augmentation in 20. Polyurethane implants were applied in 82 cases (62%). Radiation therapy was performed in 47 patients with total dose 45 Gy. Bilateral reconstruction was performed in 22 patients.
Results. The mean follow-up period was 28.44 ± 14.66 months (from 6 to 48 months). The most frequent complication in the postoperative period was the development of capsular contracture: seroma — 20 patients, hematoma — 2, edge necrosis — 6, protrusion — 6, infection — 2 patients. The most common capsular contracture by Baker was III degree, n = 18. The average period of development of capsular contracture was 7.6 ± 11.65 months.
Conclusion. Despite the greater number of complications during the one-stage reconstruction, the implants remain in advantage in choosing a method of treating breast cancer by both the patient and the surgeon.
General Policies, Subgoal Structure, and Planning Width
Authors: Bonet Blai , Geffner Hector
Published: June 2024

It has been observed that many classical planning domains with atomic goals can be solved by means of a simple polynomial exploration procedure, called IW, that runs in time exponential in the problem width, which in these cases is bounded and small. Yet, while the notion of width has become part of state-of-the-art planning algorithms such as BFWS, there is no good explanation for why so many benchmark domains have bounded width when atomic goals are considered. In this work, we address this question by relating bounded width with the existence of general optimal policies that in each planning instance are represented by tuples of atoms of bounded size. We also define the notions of (explicit) serializations and serialized width that have a broader scope, as many domains have a bounded serialized width but no bounded width. Such problems are solved nonoptimally in polynomial time by a variant of the Serialized IW algorithm. Finally, the language of general policies and the semantics of serializations are combined to yield a simple, meaningful, and expressive language for specifying serializations in compact form in the form of sketches, which can be used for encoding domain control knowledge by hand or for learning it from examples. Sketches express general problem decompositions in terms of subgoals, and terminating sketches of bounded width express problem decompositions that can be solved in polynomial time.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'deki bir örneklem grubunda MASI'nin (Measure of Anxiety in Selection Interviews) psikometrik özelliklerini belirlemektir. Araştırmada toplam 782 katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Anket sorularının %5’i ve daha fazlasını boş bırakan (n = 176) ve daha önce sta j/iş mülakatı deneyimi olmayan (n = 158) katılımcılar veri analizine dâhil edilmemiştir. Nihai örneklem, yaşları 18 ile 63 arasında değişen ( X̄ = 29.04, SS = 9.99) 448 katılımcıdan (252 kadın, 196 erkek) oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılara Seçim Mülakatlarında Kaygı Ölçeği (MASI), Liebowitz Sosyal Kaygı Ölçeği ve İletişim Kaygısı Ölçeği (İKÖ-24) uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısını belirlemek için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi bulguları, MASI-Türkçe (MASI-T)’nin 30 madde ve 4 faktörden oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Bu faktörler iletişim kaygısı, sosyal-görünüm kaygısı, performans kaygısı ve davranışsal kaygı olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Faktörlerin varyansın %58’ini açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Ölçek maddelerinin faktör yük değerlerinin ise .34 ile .78 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Açımlayıcı faktör analizinden sonra yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde verinin modele kabul edilebilir düzeyde uyum gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir (CFI = .91, NFI = .86, GFI = .86, IFI = .91, AGFI=.83, TLI = .90, ve RMSEA = .061). Ölçeğin ölçüt bağıntılı geçerliğinde diğer iki ölçek ile yüksek düzeyde korelasyon bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı .95 olarak bulunmuştur. Her kaygı boyutu için iç tutarlılık katsayıları şu şekildedir: iletişim = .81, sosyal-görünüm = .91, performans = .89 ve davranışsal =.85. Ayrıca bulgular, kadınların ve şu anda bir işte çalışmayan bireylerin erkeklere ve halen çalışmakta olan katılımcılara göre daha yüksek kaygı düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Yaş ve son mülakattaki öznel performans değerlendirmesi, kaygı puanları ile negatif ilişkilidir. Bu sonuçlar, MASI-T’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
Hermes and Prometheus in Scandinavia – or Thor and Thjalfi in Greece: Reconstructing an Indo-European aetiological myth about a prehistoric steppe ritual
Authors: Ginevra Riccardo
Published: June 2024

The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, a case will be made for the Old Norse myth of Thjalfi’s laming of Thor’s goat (chiefly attested in Gylfaginning 44) as a Scandinavian counterpart to two Ancient Greek myths, the myth of Hermes’s theft of Apollo’s cows (and slaughter of two of them), most extensively attested in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, and the myth of Prometheus’s (attempted) deception of Zeus during the slaughter of a cow at Mekone, attested in Hesiod’s Theogony, whose several correspondences allow for the reconstruction of an ancient Indo-European tradition in which the aetiology of a ritual was connected with a mythological incident involving livestock. Secondly, an attempt will be made to reconstruct the corresponding ritual with the aid of insights from prehistoric archaeology.

Rethinking Justice: Unraveling the Tapestry of Justice in Islamic and Western Philosophies
Authors: Ismail Ahmad Munawar
Published: June 2024

Throughout human civilization, justice has been an enduring value, evolving through continuous advocacy. Fueled by human reason, individuals consistently elevate their standards, leading to the transformation of justice derived from natural law, societal changes, and religious doctrines. This dynamic process signifies that humanity, along with its cultures, laws, and justice perceptions, progresses rather than regresses—growing more intricate, sophisticated, and advanced. This article delves into the development of justice concepts in Islamic and Western cultures across classical, modern, postmodern, and contemporary eras. Utilizing a philosophical approach, it argues that justice undergoes a developmental evolution in both cultures—from discussions in the context of natural law to exploring religious justice and culminating in discussions of social justice. Despite epistemological differences, both Islamic and Western cultures remain inseparable from justice principles: enforcing justice, presupposing equality, aligning with truth, embodying equilibrium, and positioning things rightly.
The Poetic Discourse on “Serendib” in Modern Arabic Literature: Mahmoud Sami Al-Baroudi as a Model
Authors: Ahmad H. Osman Rahmah
Published: June 2024

This article examines the impacts of Sri Lanka on the poetry of Mahmoud Sami Al-Baroudi, who was exiled there for more than seventeen years (1882-1899 AD). While no study has been done to reveal the extent to which the poet’s derivation from the Sri Lankan environment in his poetry, this research will attempt to clarify the poet’s approach in introducing Sri Lanka, showing the aspects of its nature, and then to discuss his poems about the Sri Lankan people. In order to accomplish these goals, the inductive method was used to track the verses and poems that addressed topics related to Sri Lanka, and then the analytical approach was employed to study and analyse those verses and poems. The study discovered that the poet followed the approach of ancient poets in defining Sri Lanka by using the name “Serendib”, which the Arabs called it in the past, rather than “Ceylon”, which was an official name at the time. Similarly, the poet’s admiration for Sri Lankan nature emerged, particularly the nature of “Kandy,” where he lived for nearly ten years of his life, and from which he derived imagery and ideas for his poetic production, that is, in some of the poems in which he is nostalgic for Egypt, as well as in two independent poems. Concerning the Sri Lankan people, the researcher discovered only some poetic verses in which the poet criticised the negative aspects of some of the people’s customs and cultures, as well as some of their moral and physical nature
They Can't … They Won't … They Did: Overcoming Reductive Perceptions of Teachers with Colorado's Sample Curriculum Project

Published: June 2024

In this essay Brian R. Sevier, Joanna Bruno, Karol Gates, Stephanie Hartman, Mary Ellen Pittman, Vince Puzick, Phyllis Reed, and Beverly Reimer describe their effort at the Colorado Department of Education to recruit and engage educators in authoring free and open-source curriculum samples for preK-12 academic content areas. The story of Colorado's Sample Curriculum Project illuminates how this team navigated constraints to foreground teachers as intellectual professionals who were ready and willing to use their knowledge and experience in deliberative and collaborative community. It also reveals the intransigency of perspectives that downplay the significance of teacher knowledge and collaboration. Highlighting both the possibilities that materialize when teachers engage, create, and collaborate and the persistent doubters of those possibilities, the authors argue for opportunities for professional expression that undermine reductive perspectives of teachers and their capabilities.

Falls present a huge challenge in Plainview Day Habilitation and could impede the progress already made in helping those with developmental disabilities transition to living independent lives. Falls happen regularly at Plainview Day Hab because people with developmental disabilities often struggle with physical impairment and mobility issues. These falls increase the risk of fall injuries, fractures, and devastating fear of falling (Finlayson, 2018). The nurses usually do not conduct needs and fall assessments at Plainview Day Hab as stipulated by the fall policy. Failing to use the Morse scale means there is no fall assessment documentation. Therefore, nurses do not apply appropriate fall prevention measures. A gap analysis was performed by reviewing 20 randomly selected charts. A gap exists between fall prevention policy and the processes that occur daily to prevent falls. Based on the current assessment, one of the most notable microsystem challenges is the lack of nurse fall assessment documentation. The proposed clinical implication improves fall outcomes for patients at the day hab using the Morse scale tool. Documenting fall risk for every patient and applying appropriate fall practices reduces fall rates. As such, this appropriate intervention is needed to tackle this problem and improve the fall rate at the facility. The different stakeholders should support this initiative. Data shows from January- April 2024 a steady decrease in fall rates. The falls prevention committee report shows eight falls and zero injury. The correction action to prevent falls in this patient population has proven to be effective for safety.
Healthcare Provider Well-Being and Burnout

Burnout for clinicians in United States healthcare is considered an epidemic for physicians, advanced practice providers such as advanced practice nurses, physician's assistants, and other healthcare professionals. The increased expectations to obtain better patient outcomes, maintain quality assurance, and see more patients, while balancing personal and family responsibilities, are all contributing factors that lead to provider burnout. A burned-out healthcare provider could suffer from emotional and functional connectivity in the brain, which would be detrimental to the safety of their patients. Moreover, the spouses and families of burned-out providers may share in the burden. Healthcare provider burnout can be linked to several negative outcomes including low patient satisfaction, higher turnover rates among staff, and higher malpractice risk. The purpose of this study is to examine the nature and extent of healthcare provider burnout at three hospitals in an academic medical system using secondary analysis of data retrieved from the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS MP) and Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) instruments. The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) established a Provider Wellness Committee, in which this researcher is a member of this committee. The committee conducted the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS MP) and Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) instruments to physicians and advanced practice providers at three Baltimore-Washington hospitals within the University of Maryland Medical System. The purpose of this quality improvement initiative was to gather information regarding burnout for the organization's clinicians. This current study will analyze this information in the form of secondary analysis, to understand the ranges of clinician burnout within UMMS. For the purposes of this research study, a healthcare provider is distinguished as a physician, nurse practitioner (NP), physician assistant (PA), or certified registered nurse anesthesiologists (CRNA), and may be used interchangeably throughout this assessment. During this study, no significant differences were found between healthcare providers' age, gender, job role, or specialty in relation to burnout. Results did show however, the difference in reported percentages of burnout among the healthcare institutions studied. Additionally, the study showed a similarity in the specialties at the three Baltimore-Washington hospitals who suffered from burnout and moral injury. Findings should have implications for practice to design better burnout prevention and resiliency programs and services, as well as other wellness programs that may be beneficial to the employee work experience.

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'deki işletmelerce faaliyetlere engel olduğu düşünülen başlıca faktörleri detaylı bir şekilde irdelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, Dünya Bankası İşletme Anketlerinden temin edilen kapsamlı ve zengin bir veri seti, Random Forest (RF) Algoritması ile analize tabi tutulmuştur. Ön analiz sonuçları; vergi oranlarının, finansa erişimin, siyasi istikrarsızlığın ve eğitimsiz işgücünün, işletmeler tarafından faaliyetlerin önünde engel olarak algılanan en önemli hususlar olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. RF sonuçlarına göre, faaliyetlere engel teşkil eden bu hususların firmalarca sorun olarak algılanıp algılanmaması, onların bazı özelliklerinden (firmanın daha olgun, daha büyük, daha deneyimli yöneticilere sahip olması veya firmanın denetime tabi olup olmaması ile büyük şehirde bulup bulunması gibi özelliklerinden) etkilenmektedir. Bu sonuçların, işletme sahiplerine ve yöneticilerine ayrıca kanun koyuculara, işletme faaliyetleri önündeki engellerin kaldırılmasına ve böylece ülkedeki sosyoekonomik durumun iyileşmesine katkı sağlayacak nitelikte bilgiler sunduğu düşünülmektedir.

Wizerunki Mikołaja Kopernika w polskiej sztuce na emigracji — w pięćsetną rocznicę urodzin astronoma
Authors: Sienkiewicz Jan Witor
Published: June 2024

Opracowanie jest pierwszą w polskiej literaturze próbą wskazania na najważniejsze inicjatywy artystyczne (plastyczne i architektoniczne), które zostały zrealizowane w polskich środowiskach emigracyjnych (diasporach) w krajach europejskich i pozaeuropejskich, związanych z przypadającą w 1973 r. pięćsetną rocznicą urodzin Mikołaja Kopernika. Rocznica kopernikańska sprzed pięćdziesięciu laty była dla polskich środowisk na obczyźnie okazją do zamanifestowania w krajach osiedlenia Polaków znaczenia wkładu polskiego uczonego w światowy dorobek naukowy. Inicjatywy związane z zebraniem środków, a następnie uroczystym odsłonięciem pomników (czy tablic) dedykowanych Kopernikowi (m.in. w USA, Brazylii, Argentynie czy Meksyku) były podejmowane przede wszystkim przez związki, stowarzyszenia i organizacje polonijne. Polonijne środowiska/ diaspory zainteresowały tematyką kopernikańską najważniejszych na emigracji polskich twórców, m.in. takich jak: Stefan Knapp (Wielka Brytania), Stanisław Szukalski (USA) czy Leon Piesowocki (Francja), których dzieła zostały uwzględnione w części ilustracyjnej. Opracowanie nie wyczerpuje tematu, albowiem do pełnej panoramy, opisu i analizy powstałych dzieł plastycznych związanych z tematyką Mikołaja Kopernika, jakie powstały z okazji 500-lecia urodzin astronoma na emigracji w 1973 r., potrzebne są szczegółowe badania archiwalne in situ, w zbiorach i archiwach polskich organizacji, związków i stowarzyszeń polonijnych, rozproszonych w wielu krajach na całym świecie.
Między traditio i renovatio Ecclesiae. O średniowiecznych krucyfiksach triumfalnych i ich nowych aranżacjach w Rzeczypospolitej XVI-XVIII wieku
Authors: Horzela Dobrosława , Walczak Marek

Ważną rolę w katolickiej teorii obrazu i jej podejściu do praktyk religijnych w okresie potrydenckim odegrało pojęcie starożytności. W myśl tej zasady materialne pozostałości przeszłości stały się ważnymi argumentami potwierdzającymi prawdziwość doktryny i zwyczajów Kościoła rzymskiego. W Rzeczypospolitej reformy liturgiczne zapoczątkowane na Soborze Trydenckim zaczęto stosunkowo szybko wprowadzać w życie. Biorąc pod uwagę szybko postępujące radykalne zmiany w wyposażeniu wnętrz kościelnych, warto zauważyć, że bardzo często stare krucyfiksy znajdujące się in medio ecclesiae pozostawały nietknięte. Według przybliżonych szacunków na terenie Małopolski zachowało się około dwustu gotyckich krucyfiksów, w tym prawie trzydzieści grup składających się z postaci św. Jana Ewangelisty i Najświętszej Maryi Panny oraz prawie pięćdziesięciu postaci towarzyszących, pierwotnie kojarzonych z nieistniejącymi już krucyfiksami. Do najważniejszych kryteriów decydujących o tym, jakie środki należy zastosować przy renowacji kościołów, była widoczność ołtarza głównego. Stosowanie metali szlachetnych było powszechnym sposobem podkreślania najwyższej rangi czczonych wizerunków, zalecanym przez pisarzy kościelnych. Natomiast ex votis w formie portretów, wieszane w sąsiedztwie krucyfiksów, zwykle in medio ecclesiae, wydają się być zjawiskiem specyficznie polskim. Były to tzw. portrety trumienne, czyli obrazy na metalowych panelach, często srebrnych, nieznanych w innych częściach kontynentu, które mocowano do przedniej ściany trumny lub wystawiano przed nią podczas uroczystości pogrzebowych członków rodów szlacheckich i arystokracji. Kolejnym zabiegiem artystycznym, charakterystycznym dla Rzeczypospolitej była konstrukcja obiektów architektoniczno-rzeźbiarskich w obrębie łuków tęczowych, które podkreślając granicę między chórem a nawą, tworzyły wizualną oprawę ołtarza głównego. W licznych kościołach wiejskich, zwłaszcza na ubogich terenach u podnóża Tatr, zbudowanych w większości z drewna, do dziś zachowały się średniowieczne kaplice z dekoracją rzeźbiarską lub malarską, w innych zaś okoliczności kultowe spowodowały, przeniesienie figur ze środka kościoła na jeden z ołtarzy. Zachowanie i kult średniowiecznych krucyfiksów triumfalnych we wczesnej epoce nowożytnej wydaje się być szczególnie istotnym przejawem prób zachowania równowagi między traditio i renovatio Ecclesiae.
