Published: April 2023

Nutrient utilization is determined by absorbable and digestible nutrients in fish feeds. The aim of the experiment was to investigate the effects of unprocessed dried leaves of Telfairia occidentalis (UDLTO) and Mucuna utilis (UDLMU) on histology and growth of C. gariepinus.  Sixteen weeks feeding trial experiment was conducted using two hundred and twenty-five Clarias gariepinus with a mean weight 4.16±0.09g. Fish meal was replaced with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% levels of UDLMU and UDLTO. Growth parameters and histological examinations were carried out according to standard procedures. Mean Weight Gain (MWG) of 0% (15.8g) was significantly higher P0.05 compared to other treatments. Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of 0% (0.64) varied significantly P0.05 than other levels of inclusions. Kidneys of fish fed 25 and 50% graded levels showed patchy vacuolar degeneration of the renal tubules. Gills of fish fed 75 and 100% graded levels showed diffuse capillaries and moderate congestion of lamellar in the gills. Tissue examinations of fish fed 50, 75 and 100% graded levels exhibited clinical signs of moderate atrophy and vacuolation of hepatocytes and diffuse hepatocellular swelling and degeneration in the liver. Histological investigations revealed fragmentation and atrophy of muscle fibre in fish fed 75% graded level. There was moderate atrophy of villi of the intestine of fish fed 100% graded level. It is apparent that the increased levels of UDLMU and UDLTO could not support good growth as presumed due to the presence of anti-nutritional factors in the leaves.Keywords: Nutrient utilization, Fish meal, Inclusions, standard procedures, Clinical signs
Photonic integrated multicast switch-based optical wireless data center network

Published: April 2023

Optical wireless data center networks (OW-DCNs), which employ optical wireless technology and optical wired switching technology, are gaining interest as they promise to eliminate cable complexity, as well as to create high bandwidth interconnections and a low-cost and power-efficient system. In particular, the incorporation of optical tunable transmitters (T-TXs) and passive optical beam steering technologies is a promising way to build an OW-DCN benefitting from the potential of fast optical switching speed, low switch control complexity, and easy reconfiguration. However, the practical deployment of such an OW-DCN remains a challenge as fast (nanosecond) T-TX is required for fast optical switching operation. Implementation of fast T-TX can be realized by an array of lasers and optical gates, which are combined with photonic integration technology to achieve a compact, stable, and efficient nanosecond T-TX. In this paper, we propose an OW-DCN based on arrayed waveguide grating routers and fast T-TXs that exploit photonic integrated circuit multicast switches (PIC-MCSs). This PIC-MCS chip not only offers nanosecond-scale fast optical switching but also plays an essential role in enabling multicast operation, T-TX sharing, and dynamic bandwidth allocation between the intra- and inter-cluster networks. A 4×2 PIC-MCS has been designed, fabricated, and characterized in this proposed OW-DCN system. Experimental results validate that the proposed OW-DCN supports lossless, nanosecond, and multicast switching operation. Moreover, the dynamic bandwidth allocation and optical packet switching capability have been experimentally demonstrated. Finally, system performance with this fabricated PIC-MCS chip in a 4×4 rack OW-DCN is experimentally validated for different transmission scenarios and modulation formats. Wavelength division multiplexing multicast transmission with 50 Gb/s non-return-to-zero on–off-keying signals has been verified with less than 1.5 dB power penalty. 58 Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude modulation transmission has also shown operation below the forward error correction threshold of 3.84×10−3 for all the different transmission scenarios.
Maternal effect in salinity tolerance of Daphnia–One species, various patterns?
Authors: Mikulski Andrzej , Mazurczak Danuta
Published: April 2023

We experimentally tested the hypothesis that individuals from a single species but genetically different exposed to the same chemical stress factor are able to realize opposite life history strategies–they can invest more resources in current reproduction and release neonates well-prepared to harmful condition or they can invest in their own safety as well as future reproductions and release neonates of poor quality condition. In order to do this, we used theDaphnia-salinity model: we exposedDaphnia magnafemales originating from various ponds to two concentrations of sodium chloride, and then observed the key life histories parameters of their offspring exposed or not exposed to salinity stress. Our results confirmed the hypothesis. In a clone from one pond,Daphniaexposed to salinity stress produced neonates which were worse-prepared to the local conditions than those released by non-stressed females. In clones from the two other ponds,Daphniareleased newborns similarly or better-prepared to cope with the salinity stress, depending on the concentration of salt and the duration of their exposure to salinity. Our results suggest that both longer (two-generational) and stronger (higher salt concentration) impacts of selective factors may be perceived by individuals as information indicating reduced chances of successful reproduction in the future and, thus, they may drive mothers to produce better-prepared descendants.
Mental expression and inner speech
Authors: López Campillo Jesús
Published: April 2023

This article explores the importance of mental expression in understanding the phenomenon of inner speech. Most accounts of inner speech assume from the outset the common idea that the expressions of a subject (e.g., a smile) and their mental states (e.g., joy) are two different types of items somehow related to each other. This relational view of expression is challenged in this article. Firstly, it is argued that relational views of expression cannot explain some features of inner speech. Secondly, a non-relational view of expression is developed, according to which mental states are patterns of expressive behavior. Thirdly, it is argued that only from the framework of non-relational expressivism is it possible to explain the main features of inner speech. Finally, it is concluded that non-relational expressivism emerges as a prominent contender among contemporary views of the mind, as it provides the only account of inner speech that can fully explain the phenomenon.
Hematological analysis of naturally infecting blood parasites in dogs
Authors: Boonhoh Worakan , Sontigun Narin , Fungwithaya Punpichaya , Wongtawan Tuempong
Published: April 2023

Background and Aim: Blood parasite infections such as anaplasmosis, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis are commonly found in domestic dogs, which adversely influence their health. Many dogs are infected with multiple blood parasites that cause more severe diseases than a single infection. This study aimed to investigate the effect of multiple blood parasite infections on the hematological profiles of dogs at a shelter in Southern Thailand. Materials and Methods: The blood samples from 122 dogs were collected to assess the hematology profiles of uninfected, single-infected, and multiple blood parasite-infected dogs. The results were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test and Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner pairwise comparisons. The infections were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Results: The results showed that all the infected dogs had significantly lower red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin (HB), hematocrit (HCT), and platelet count (PLT) than the uninfected dogs. Although the dogs with triple infection had lower RBC, HB, HCT, and PLT than those with double and single infections, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: We proposed that triple blood parasite infection with Anaplasma platys, Babesia vogeli, and Ehrlichia canis caused more severe disease than double and single infections. Evaluating the hematological profiles of dogs naturally infected with single, double, and multiple blood parasite infections without clinical signs can enhance their health and welfare. Keywords: blood parasite, dogs, hematology, multiple blood parasite infection, tick-borne pathogens.
Poligami dan Ketahanan Keluarga Masyarakat Aceh

Published: April 2023

Berbagai permasalahan keluarga seperti pernikahan tidak tercatat, pernikahan siri, perkawinan anak, poligami, perceraian  dan sebagainya memerlukan perhatian khusus. Sebagai bentuk solusi, para pemangku kebijakan merumuskan Qanun Hukum Keluarga yang bertujuan untuk mengatur kehidupan keluarga masyarakat Aceh yang berlandaskan syariat Islam sehingga mampu membentuk ketahanan keluarga. Ketahanan keluarga diatur melalui pendidikan pra nikah, tercatat secara resmi dalam dokumen negara, perceraian dilakukan dipengadilan, peminangan disesuaikan dengan kearifan lokal, pengaturan persyaratan administrasi seperti harus bebas dari pengaruh narkotika dan obat terlarang, sanksi dan sebagainya. Namun, Rancangan Qanun Hukum Keluarga justru menuai polemik yang mengarah kepada regulasi poligami. Kredibilitas regulasi poligami dalam menyokong ketahanan keluarga masih dipertanyakan. Tinjauan naratif ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai pengesahan regulasi poligami terhadap ketahanan keluarga masyarakat Aceh. Adapun metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan studi pustaka (literature review) dengan metode penulisan artikel merujuk pada narrative review. Hasil kajian literatur didapatkan bahwa secara teoritis, regulasi poligami memberikan pengaruh positif maupun negatif pada keluarga poligami. Namun ketika disandingkan dengan ketahanan keluarga yang merupakan esensi dari Qanun Hukum Keluarga, maka regulasi poligami tidak dapat menjamin terbentuknya ketahanan keluarga pada masyarakat Aceh.
 
[Various family problems such as unregistered marriages, unregistered marriages, child marriages, polygamy, divorce and so on require special attention.As a solution, policymakers formulated Qanun Hukum Keluarga which aims to regulate the family life of the Acehnese people based on Islamic law so that they can build family resilience. However, the Draft of Qanun Hukum Keluarga has resulted in a polemic that leads to the regulation of polygamy. The credibility of the polygamy regulation in supporting family resilience is still questionable. This narrative review aims to provide an overview of the legalization of polygamy regulations on the resilience of families in Aceh. The research method uses a literature review approach with an article writing method referring to a narrative review. This study discovered that theoretically, polygamy regulation has either a positive or negative effect on polygamous families. Therefore, when juxtaposed with family resilience, which is the essence of the Qanun Hukum Keluarga, the regulation of polygamy cannot guarantee the formation of family resilience in Acehnese society.]
The effects of supply chain viability on supply chain performance and marketing performance in case of large manufacturing firm in Ethiopia
Authors: Ali Endris , Gossaye Wasintu
Published: April 2023

Goal: COVID-19 has put the supply chain (SC) through exceptional shocks and disruptions that have never been seen before. It put existing SCs' capabilities to a severe test. Moreover, due to the pandemic, demand and supply have been imbalanced, which has led to questions about societal and SC survivability. This study examines the effects of firms' SC viability on SC and marketing performance.
Design/Methodology/Approach: An explanatory research design was employed to examine the relationship between the antecedents of SC viability, SC, and marketing performance using partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modeling (SEM). Moreover, 5-point Likert scale questionnaires are used as a data collection instrument.
Results: The finding shows that both SC resilience, SC agility, and sustainable SC have a positive effect on SC performance. Further, SC viability [SC resilience + SC agility + sustainable SC] has a positive effect on SC performance. SC performance also play partial mediation between SC viability and marketing performance.
Limitations of the investigation: The study focused only on a limited number of large manufacturing companies in Ethiopia, which excluded other medium- and small-sized firms due to the ongoing war in the northern part of the country. Moreover, the study focused only on one dimension of sustainability (social aspect).
Implicações práticas:  O estudo mostra às empresas que os métodos tradicionais de avaliação de risco são insuficientes e não serão mais suficientes para superar uma grave disrupção. Em vez disso, o estudo recomenda que as empresas trabalhem usando determinação antecipada de falhas (AFD) e uma abordagem de equipe vermelha para se preparar para eventos 'desconhecidos'. Além disso, o estudo traz um modelo prático e holístico que mostra a relação entre viabilidade de SC e desempenho de SC e marketing.
Originalidade/Valor:  Nenhum dos estudos até agora em SC testou os conceitos de sistemas de viabilidade em SCM adotando disciplinas como modelagem ecológica, biológica e cibernética usando PLS-SEM. Consequentemente, contribui para a literatura existente, mostrando novas evidências empíricas de uma forte relação entre viabilidade SC, desempenho SC e desempenho de marketing.
Obfuscating systemic racism: A critical policy discourse analysis on the operation of neoliberal ideas in media representation of a school district state takeover
Authors: Lopez Trish A. , Riesco Holly Sheppard , Goering Christian Z.
Published: April 2023

Education reform in the United States has unwisely focused attention on standards and accountability to the state as determined by standardized testing (Berliner & Biddle, 1995; Mehta, 2013). Stemming from the emphasis on standards-based accountability are the ideas of rapid school turnaround and the state’s role in this process (Peck & Reitzug, 2014; VanGronigen & Meyers, 2019). The current study employed critical policy discourse analysis to examine the media’s portrayal of the 2019 determination to continue or terminate state control of the Little Rock School District. The analysis highlights two argumentative frames—one that emphasized neoliberal values in support of continued state control of the district and another that focused on systemic racism as the basis for advocating for local control of the district. These frames, along with their implications for future actions within the educational policy making process, guide the discussion. Our findings suggest sustained community and media participation is needed to bring attention to education policy issues while underscoring the importance of taking a critical stance to assess media coverage.
The use of manubriotomy in the treatment of complicated injury of the cervicothoracic spine: clinical case report and literature review
Authors: Muzyshev I. A. , Torchinov S. T. , Borzenkov A. V. , Dzukaev D. N.
Published: April 2023

The paper presents a clinical case report and non-systematic review of the literature on the problem of the manubriotomy use in the treatment of complicated injury of the cervicothoracic spine. Approach to surgical treatment of complicated compression-comminuted fracture-dislocation of the cervicothoracic spine was based on preoperative calculation of angulometric characteristics of the injury and individual characteristics of the patient’s anatomy, including the Tenga criterion.  A partial resection of the manubrium of sternum in the area of the jugular notch was performed to ensure safe and stable placement of the cervical fixation plate. Complete restoration of the axis and stability of the spine, and regression of neurological deficit were achieved. The preoperative determination of the Tenga criterion in planning cervicothoracic intervention allows, taking into account the anatomical features of the patients, to assess a zone of optimal visualization, as well as to plan caudal expansion of the approach, including by limited U-shaped manubriotomy.
Derrida hat Nietzsches Regenschirm verloren. Zu Philipp Felschs Buch Wie Nietzsche aus der Kälte kam
Authors: Wahrig Bettina
Published: April 2023

Derrida Has Lost Nietzsche's Umbrella: On Philipp Felsch's Book Wie Nietzsche aus der Kälte kam. This essay discusses the story of the critical edition of Nietzsche’s complete works by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari as presented in Philipp Felsch’s book Wie Nietzsche aus der Kälte kam. The book, which is based on biographical material of the two editors, takes up an important episode in European intellectual history in its political, cultural historical context. However, it often presents a questionable use of these sources. A closer examination of that the same source material would situate the history of the edition and its editors in a different context. Likewise, Felsch’s account of the history of Nietzsche’s reception in France, and his reception in the neighboring countries, lacks nuance and reveals some remarkable examples of misreading. Like in other genres of history, scholars of discourse history and intellectual history need to read sources closely and critically. When we talk of dealing with primary sources, the work that editors have done in commentaries and editions should be taken into account. Finally, I argue that we should not dismiss recent innovations in editing methods as confusing or “vulcano-like,” but we would do well to appreciate the opportunities offered by the digital humanities, both for a professional readership and a wider audience.
Unsound Judgments
Authors: Downey Walker
Published: April 2023

This aural history surveys two parallel developments in the postwar United States: the commercial popularization of the white noise or “white sound” machine in the 1960s and ’70s; and the raising up of “noise pollution” as an environmental ill. Finding that marketing around the white noise machine cast it as an antidote to noise pollution, I query the paradox underlying the device’s “solution” to the noise problem, observing, as did its contemporary critics, that it proposed to fight noise with more noise. Examining advertisements, legislative documents, and the popular press, I argue that the device exploited the confusion surrounding attempts to define noise and classify it as a pollutant. I show that new anti-noise measures, far from clarifying the nature of noise for the public, rendered it more ambiguous; and I suggest that the rhetoric buoying the white noise machine leveraged this ambiguity, manufacturing distinctions between the purportedly ameliorative noise of the device’s “white sound” and the noxious noise of “noise pollution.” Finally, I locate noise pollution and the white noise machine relative to postwar race relations in the United States, and particularly, the “flight” of white city residents into suburbs. Observing that the newly trumpeted noise problem was localized in cities, I reveal the latent racism of noise pollution discourse and reexamine the commercial imaginary of the white noise machine in connection with racial and spatial politics. I conclude that these entwined narratives constitute an instructive episode in noise’s cultural history and pose still-relevant questions regarding privilege and environmental justice.
The Kyoto School and Sound Art
Authors: Roddy Stephen
Published: April 2023

This paper explores the thought of key Kyoto School philosophers Nishida Kitar_ō, Tanabe Hajime, and Nishitani Keiji as a novel framework through which to consider the historical development and philosophical underpinnings of sound art. Connections and divergences between these thinkers and key developments in the history of sound art are analyzed and explored. After an introduction to Kyoto School thought, the intersections between the Kyoto School and relevant 20th-century art movements are examined. The paper then spotlights four important themes developed in Kyoto School thought and analyzes key sound art pieces in relation to these themes. The article closes with a brief concluding reflection.
The Impact of Uncertainty Created by Global Factors on Fertility Decisions
Authors: Norgėlaitė Alina
Published: April 2023

The article discusses the effect of global factors – COVID-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, climate change – that form uncertainty which affects the decision to have children. The aim is to reveal the impact of uncertainty based on the results of the qualitative survey. In 2021–2022 thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants born between the years 1970 and 1989. The research showed that global factors are not relevant when considering children, with climate change being the least understood and influential factor. However, the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and war, which increased uncertainty and prompted a delay in the decision to have children, had a stronger effect in the beginning and lessened with time. The pandemic was associated with the limited availability of medical services, while the reaction to war depended on personal perception of the direct threat. Older generations being close to the end of reproductive age, and younger generations having the desired number of children felt more uncertain about childbearing possibilities. A critical factor that reduced uncertainty was a strong desire to have children. Possessed information and distrust in public institutions appeared to be also quite important.

Inclusive Advertising through the Soundtrack: Insights from People with Visual Impairments
Authors: Palencia-Lefler Manuel
Published: April 2023

Today’s audiovisual advertising is heard more than seen, as many viewers feel overloaded with visual information or engage in multitasking while viewing. The fact that many viewers are not watching the screen is a problem that should concern the entire advertising industry. Are there technological solutions that enable us to hear what we do not see? Audio description (AD) is an established option in the field of visual impairment, but is it the only option to make advertising accessible to people who are not looking at the images? This study considers these questions, applying a methodology based on Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA) and combining Grounded Theory and the focus group model as a data collection technique. Three focus groups ⎼two comprising people with a visual disability and the third made up of people without one explored the question of whether contemporary advertising has been drifting towards an exclusion of spectators with visual impairment. Participant responses were split between the view that commercials should incorporate AD but with clear improvements that take viewer opinion into account and the belief that advertising should return to its origins and make its soundtrack more explicit, perhaps rendering AD unnecessary.

APPLICATION OF VARIABLE PITCH OF REINFORCEMENT OF GEOSYNTHETIC MATERIALS IN FOUNDATION PADS FROM CONTINUOUS SOILS
Authors: Tatiannikov D. A
Published: April 2023

The results of the study of the nature of the work of reinforced foundation pads from cohesive soil. Compacted soft-plastic loam is considered as the pad material, woven geotextile is used as a reinforcing element. Such a constructive solution of the foundation pad, as a rule, is associated with the impossibility or high cost of using classical inert materials for these structures. Previous studies have shown the high efficiency of the rational arrangement of reinforcing horizontal geosynthetic elements in sand pads. The main purpose of this study was to test the well-known approach to the use of variable reinforcement spacing for foundation pads made of cohesive soils. The goal was achieved by a numerical experiment (solving test problems) in the Plaxis 2D software package with various types of reinforcement, 4 types of reinforcement were considered. The main results of the research are the obtained schemes of vertical stresses, as well as the values of the maximum load that the base can withstand without destruction. Based on the results of the research, the formula for determining the position of the reinforcing layers with a variable reinforcement step in pads of cohesive soils was corrected. It was also found that when the layers are arranged in steps of 200 mm or less, the reinforcing effect in cohesive soils practically does not occur. It is confirmed that the variable reinforcement spacing allows achieving the maximum «inclusion in the work» of geosynthetics in comparison with other types of reinforcement considered in the framework of this study. In addition, it has been proven that in the study under consideration, the variable reinforcement spacing in cohesive soil pads is the most effective in terms of perceived load and the number of reinforcing layers applied.
Wybrane aspekty stosowania przez przedsiębiorstwa outsourcingu finansowo-księgowego
Authors: Molenda Wioletta , Burzyńska Dorota
Published: April 2023

Zagadnienie outsourcingu jest ważne i aktualne, a jego skala (i co za tym idzie – znaczenie dla funkcjonowania nie tylko pojedynczych przedsiębiorstw, ale również całych gospodarek) systematycznie wzrasta. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono prezentacji czynników motywujących firmy do stosowania mechanizmu outsourcingu finansowo-księgowego (uwzględniając przy tym zmienność, a jednocześnie złożoność polskiego systemu prawnego, księgowego oraz podatkowego). Artykuł zawiera część badawczą, której treść stanowi analiza wyników badań własnych, zrealizowanych z wykorzystaniem metody sondażu diagnostycznego – techniki ankietowej, w której za narzędzie badawcze posłużył autorski kwestionariusz ankietowy. W badaniu wzięło udział 38 osób – prezesów dużych przedsiębiorstw działających na terenie Polski, które korzystają z outsourcingu finansowo-księgowego. Ostatnia część artykułu zawiera holistyczne ujęcie rozważań będących treścią opracowania, co sprawia, że posiada ona pewne walory aplikacyjne – zarówno względem przedsiębiorstw rozważających skorzystanie z usług outsourcingu finansowo-księgowego, jak i podmiotów specjalizujących się w obsłudze finansowo-księgowej firm – chociażby ze względu na wyraźne wskazania ankietowanych w obszarze czynników decydujących o wyborze konkretnego dostawcy usług finansowo-księgowych.
Realizacja koncepcji sprawiedliwości dystrybutywnej na przykładzie ulgi dla młodych w podatku PIT w latach 2019-2022
Authors: Rękas Magdalena
Published: April 2023

Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie badawcze: Czy i jak ulga dla młodych funkcjonująca na gruncie podatku PIT wprowadzona w sierpniu 2019 roku i modyfikowana w kolejnych latach realizuje koncepcję sprawiedliwości dystrybutywnej? oraz pytania pomocnicze: Jaki jest cel ulgi dla młodych i jakie korzyści generuje dla uprzywilejowanego młodego podatnika na przykładzie umowy o pracę? Czy cel ulgi w badanym okresie 2019-2022 został zrealizowany? Przeprowadzona analiza ulgi dla młodych potwierdziła, iż jej konstrukcja realizuje koncepcję sprawiedliwości dystrybutywnej. Ulga ma określone cele społeczno-gospodarcze, tj. zmniejszenie bezrobocia wśród ludzi młodych, szybsze wejście na rynek pracy oraz promowanie określonych form zatrudnienia. Cele te nie zostały w badanym okresie zrealizowane z powodu m.in. trwającej w tym czasie pandemii COVID-19, podczas której młodzi ludzie w pierwszej kolejności tracili pracę. Analiza korzyści podatkowych wykazuje, iż jej wartość spada, a zdecydowanie zmniejszyła się po wejściu w życie reformy podatkowej Polski Ład. Postuluje się objęcie ulgą wszystkich osób młodych do 26. roku życia, nawet kosztem obniżenia limitu ulgi. Pozwoli to w razie pogarszającej się sytuacji polskiej gospodarki stworzyć jednakowe warunki konkurencji na rynku pracy dla osób młodych rozpoczynających swoją aktywność zawodową.
Consent and Other Ancillary Matters as Requirements of a Customary Marriage: LNM v MMM (2020/11024) [2021] ZAGPJHC 563 (11 June 2021)
Authors: Sibisi Siyabonga
Published: April 2023

Consent may be seen as a fundamental human right. On the issue of marriage, people should only be married with their consent. A marriage without consent is a forced marriage. Section 3(1)(a)(ii) of the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act 120 of 1998 not only requires consent, but also requires specific consent for a marriage to take place under customary law. The Act is clear that consent to being married under customary law is one of the requirements for validity. If specific consent is lacking, there cannot be a valid customary marriage. This case note focusses on the decision in LNM v MMM where specific consent was one of the issues. It discusses whether consent of the guardian is still a requirement for customary marriages under the Act. It also discusses the required specific consent in detail and then considers the form that specific consent should take, noting that specific consent should not be inferred from the act of negotiating and delivering ilobolo as African people do for a civil marriage. In LNM v MMM the court also held that the handing over of the bride is "not imperative". By this, the court meant that the handing over of the bride was an unnecessary custom. This is not in accordance with the cases referred to in the judgment. This case note will respond to this. Should a customary marriage without specific consent to marry under customary law be annulled?
From the hematology laboratory to clinical practice
Authors: Sánchez Carolina Durango , Sánchez Lina María Martinez , Echeverri Laura Duque
Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: It´s important that the study of the medical practice should be a continuous process in which knowledge, competencies and attitudes are generated through strategies as PBL (problem-based learning) which is effectuated employing clinical case analysis. OBJECTIVE: to describe the experience of problem-based learning strategy in the hematology laboratories of our institution in order to improve the learning process and clinical field practice. METHODOLOGY: After the development of the laboratory practices, the clinical cases are made and explained to the students by the teacher´s team, then the students have time to analyze it, and then diverse review questions are proposed in order to guide the student in the study of the proposed case, under the PBL methodology. Once the activity is explained to the class, they make teams that facilitate the knowledge and ideas intercourse. RESULTS: A better understanding of the theory of hematology laboratories after the solution of clinical cases was evidenced. CONCLUSION: The clinical-basic correlation in the hematology laboratory practice is an important matter for the correct development of competencies and attitudes through a more didactic methodology, so students can finally be able to perform and improve in a medical ambit and academic sphere.

Growing research interest and policymaking over the issue of Malaysian security and the human dimension of threats have brought transdisciplinary and transnational engagements in the problem of trafficking. Unpacking salient rudimentary attributes of trafficking, human protection, and humanitarian and human rights improvement can no longer be treated as ivory tower work per se. There is a continuous need to accommodate constructive space for academics, policymakers, and state and non-state actors in the idea exchange of the input- and output processes of our national security policy. This note provides an overview of our editorial work and selection of articles for the publications of this particular issue. We remained indebted to the relevant ministries, universities, funding bodies and non-governmental organisations involved throughout the research and publication process.
Realising Accepted UPR Recommendations: Challenges and Realities in Malaysia's Commitment to Enforce Freedom of Expression
Authors: Wan Mohd Nor Murni , Syed Hussien Al-Attas Syarifah Fatimah AlZahrah , Sheikh Ghazali Lubna
Published: April 2023

Malaysians were optimistic after the 14th General Election of 2018 (GE14) was concluded, as freedom of expression was expected to progress significantly under Pakatan Harapan (PH). It was hoped that the era of the “New Malaysia” would result in increased commitment toward realising accepted UPR recommendations. Unfortunately, Malaysia’s political climate has since experienced incidences of uncertainty and instability, which has seen three different Prime Ministers and yet another change in government administration since 2018. This has placed significant challenges on human rights reforms and impeded the process of democratisation. The objective of this study is to evaluate Malaysia’s enforcement of freedom of expression regarding the relevant UPR recommendations. It has identified certain improvements which should be supported and continued, as well as setbacks and restrictions which impede the implementation of fundamental liberties and pose added risks to the democratic rights of all Malaysians.

Introdução:A Síndrome de Asperger (AS)é um distúrbio do neuro desenvolvimento;  parte do diagnóstico definido como Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA), também considerado como autismo leve, segundo a nova classificação do Manual Estatístico e Diagnóstico de Doenças Mentais (DSM-5). Indivíduos com AS apresentam déficits sociais e comportamentos estereotipados. Objetivo: Investigar o contexto e trajetória do diagnóstico de AS, desde a idade de percepção dos sintomas, idade da primeira avaliação clínica, a hipótese diagnóstica que precedeu o diagnóstico conclusivo, período de tempo entre a percepção dos sintomas e o diagnóstico conclusivo, a especialidade do profissional que diagnosticou e as principais recomendações recebidas no diagnóstico. Casuística e Métodos: Quarenta e quatro indivíduos; 38 homens e seis mulheres foram investigados por meio de avaliação clínica e entrevista semiestruturada. Resultados: A idade da percepção de que havia algo de diferente variou de um a nove anos (média=3.2 anos), e os primeiros a percebê-lo foram os pais (57%), e os últimos foram os profissionais da saúde (7%). A primeira avaliação diagnóstica foi realizada entre um e 15 anos de idade. O diagnóstico inicial mais comum foi de Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (34,1%) realizado na maioria parte pelo neurologista (54,5%). O tempo médio entre a percepção de que havia algo de diferente no desenvolvimento da criança e o diagnóstico de SA foi de 7,8 anos, realizado por psiquiatras na maioria dos casos (61,3%).  As principais recomendações foram frequentar escola regular (68,1%), realizar psicoterapia (59%), usar medicação (56,8%), realizar Fonoterapia (38,6%) e avaliação genética (36,3%). Conclusão: Os resultados mostram que o contexto do diagnóstico de AS faz-se tardio; mesmo do fenótipo comportamental considerado mais brando é complexo. A maioria dos profissionais da saúde não está preparada o suficiente para detecção precoce de SA, o que também compromete a intervenção imediata, isto é, essencial   nestes casos.

Published: April 2023

Each literary genre is a way of organizing works, a type of life representation, and a particular type of artistic communication. One of the ways to approach the film script as a literary genre is to recognize its communicative characteristics. The communication model of the movie script is closely associated with and imprinted with the film production process. Drama texts are placed in a hierarchical communication model, with diverse communication roles, where the screenwriter has a special role and fate. The screenplay for a feature film has a dual identity, being both a text - a message - in the first communication activity (between the elements of the film production process), and plays the role of a transmitter in communication activities. second (between the factors that produce the film, the film, and the viewer). It is both encoded and transcoded (encodes the writer's message; transcodes language into code that synthesizes images and sounds). The dramatic text itself, when functioning in that communication activity, has different characteristics from the texts of other literary genres, that is, it is expressive and generative.

PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD THROUGH MUSIC EDUCATION
Authors: Dsupin Borbála
Published: April 2023

The study focuses on a small but important segment of Hungarian culture, the musical education of children aged 3-7. Its central theme is to examine how the adaptation of folk games and related movements can be one of the most complex developmental forces in the personality development of this age group. This is because this period is fundamental in terms of cultural transmission and plays an integrative role in aesthetic education. As the pre-school child develops musically, his or her memory, imagination, associative abilities, creativity, attention and interest are constantly being developed through joyful activity, since his or her movements in connection with folk play are not yet guided and determined by the meaning and content of the text, but by the melody and its rhythm and the spontaneous feeling of joy associated with them. The role of musical education, and within it of folk games, is also evident in the process of emotional education, socialisation, intellectual development and language development. The links examined and presented demonstrate that folk games help children to develop skills that will enable them to become school-ready and to continue to develop in adult life.
