ESKİÇAĞ ANADOLU RİTÜELLERİNDE TANRI-İNSAN İLİŞKİSİNE DAİR BİR KESİT: “ARINMA RİTÜELLERİ”
Authors: Reyhan Esma
Published: November 2024

Hititler, karşılaştıkları sorunların sebebini öfkelenen bir tanrının ülkeyi/kenti/tapınağı terk etmesiyle açıklamışlardır. Buna fırsat vermemek için öncelikle yapılması gereken, tanrılara kurbanlar sunmak, yiyecek-içecek vermek, bakımlarını yapmak (rutin işlemler/gündelik ritüeller) ile görkemli, şatafatlı; övgü, saygı ve duaların eşlik ettiği bayram ritüellerini aksatmamak gerekmektedir. Tanrıdaki öfke ise hastalık, salgın, kıtlık, kuraklık, ev içinde kan, lanet, gözyaşı gibi istenmeyen pek çok durumun ortaya çıkmasına yol açacaktır. Hatti kökenli “Kaybolan Tanrı Telipinu” mitosu, bu durumu özetleyen bir örnektir. Mitos, ortalardan kaybolan, kaybolurken de bolluğu, bereketi, ülkede iyi olan her şeyi beraberinde götüren tanrının bulunup geri getirilmesi teması üzerine kurulmuştur. Tanrı, kirlilik yüzünden çok uzaklara gitmiştir. Tanrının geri dönmesi için bu kirlilikten arınması gerekmektedir. Kirlilik, “büyü, lanet, beddua, kötü dil, cinayet, ölülere dokunma, kirletilmiş gıdalardan yeme, yalandan yemin etme, tanrıları kızdırma vb.”gibi eylemlerle ortaya çıkmakta; “tanrıların ülkeyi/kenti/tapınağı terk etmesi, çeşitli hastalıklar, salgın, hasadın verimsizliği, ordunun başarısızlığı, aile içinde geçimsizlik vb.” gibi çeşitli istenmeyen durumlara yol açmakta; “arınma ritüelleri” ile bertaraf edilebilmektedir. “Tanrıyı geri döndürme/çağırma ritüelleri” aynı zamanda, kaybolan tanrıyı öfke ve kinden kurtarmak için yapılan bir “arınma/arındırma ritüeli”dir. Binlerle ifade edilen sayıda tanrıya sahip olan Hitit toplumunda tanrıyı geri döndürmek için çaba göstermek yerine, onun gidişine engel olmak daha kabul görmüş olmalı ki, belgelerin büyük çoğunluğu tanrıları hoş tutmak amacına yöneliktir.
Factores comunicativos agravadores y moderadores del conflicto de pareja
Authors: Albelda Marco Marta
Published: November 2024

Desde una perspectiva discursiva y exploratoria de corpus, este artículo se propone reconocer los diversos parámetros que agravan y moderan el conflicto comunicativo entre parejas de íntimos. Se ha empleado un corpus de conversaciones conflictivas de cuatro parejas, grabadas en entornos familiares y espontáneos. Los resultados del análisis comparativo y contrastivo revelan dos dimensiones del desacuerdo: las ideas en controversia y las relaciones sociales; el conflicto se agrava cuando se pone el peso en la relación interpersonal. También contribuye al agravamiento un ritmo ágil de intercambios y la brevedad de las intervenciones, la intensificación de los actos de habla y la acumulación de actos hostiles. Entre las estrategias de moderación se encuentra la atenuación, la reflexión dialógica y el lenguaje de primera persona (I-Self).
The Retrospective Infinitive in Spanish, a form of reproach? A discursive approach
Authors: Villalba Ibáñez Cristina
Published: November 2024

This study presents a discursive characterization of the Spanish construction haber + past infinitive, also known as the retrospective infinitive (Bosque, 1980), as a form used to convey reproach. To this end, several research questions are asked. First, what are the main characteristic attributes of haber + past participle? Is there a high degree of coincidence between the inherent features of this construction and the defining characteristics of reproaches in general? To what extent does context condition the relation between haber + past participle in a reproach? Finally, and in relation to the latter question, what discursive patterns can be identified in the use of the construction? Examples will be drawn from five corpora, thus real data are used in support of the conclusions, which constitutes one of the main novelties of the study in relation to previous work in the area. Results reveal that there is a high degree of coincidence between the attributes that characterize the past infinitive and the criteria that typically convey the reproach itself. From a discursive perspective, three main patterns are observed to emerge when this structure is used: neutralization and mitigation of the reproach, the expression of rebuttal and disagreement, and the development of argumentation.

Peercite Journal of Mental Health
Authors: McKenzie Mary Catherine
Published: November 2024

This article addresses often-overlooked forms of client-centered criminal victimization, focusing on the victim's experience of lost power and liberty and the enduring consequences of these traumas. It examines how perpetrators rationalize inflicting psychological, emotional, physical, and sometimes sexual harm, which leaves victims with severe, debilitating symptoms. For many, life after victimization feels intangible and unfamiliar. Effectively supporting victims requires a deep understanding of the roots of their suffering, including the collective cognitive dissonance and victim-blaming that can obstruct trauma-informed recovery. The analysis includes under-researched categories of crime victims, such as those affected by coercive control, gaslighting, stalking, institutional abuse, gang violence, crimes against whistleblowers, and healthcare safety violations. This content highlights the need for psychologists, clinicians, and multidisciplinary teams to understand the unique psychological impacts linked to victimization, including Acute Stress Disorder, PTSD, Complex PTSD, dissociative disorders, and other associated conditions like anxiety, OCD, substance use disorders, and prolonged grief.

Research on the biomechanical characteristics of basketball player injuries and their application in sports rehabilitation
Authors: Li Xinke
Published: November 2024

Basketball is a dynamic sport, characterized by fast moves, powerful hops, and constant changes in direction, which contributes to its great intensity and excitement. However, these same features elevate athletes to a risk of various types, which include the most common ones such as ligament tears, knee problems, and ankle sprains. The knowledge of the risk factors associated with particular movement patterns and environmental conditions is made possible by knowledge of the biomechanical qualities of these injuries is crucial if one has to develop effective preventive and rehabilitation strategies. The purpose of the study is to establish the biomechanical characteristics of basketball player injuries and their application in sports rehabilitation. The study proposed a novel Tunicate Swarm Optimized Flexible Extreme Boosting (TSO-FXGBoost) to predict the injuries of basketball players and their sports rehabilitation. Player’s motion data capture sessions utilize cameras and sensors to record their biomechanics during basketball activities. A Gaussian filter was employed to process the data to eliminate the noise present in the biomechanical data. Principal component analysis (PCA) served as a dimensionality reduction approach to extract relevant features from the pre-processed data. The results demonstrate that certain biomechanical features have a strong correlation with the occurrence of injuries, which indicates great potential in the strategies of prevention of injuries. In a comparative analysis, the suggested approach performs various assessment metrics such as accuracy (98%), recall (96.2%), precision (98.49%), and F1 score (97.8%). The suggested approach and rehabilitation strategies can be customized to each player’s unique biomechanical profile, improving rehabilitation times and lowering the risk of re-injury.
Investigating the Adoption of Virtual Libraries by Police Academies in Indonesia: An Enhanced TAM Model Aligned with the SDGs
Authors: Rubiyo Rubiyo , Fakhruddin Fakhruddin , Yulianto Arief , Widada Tri
Published: November 2024

The evolution of digital technology has changed the educational landscape, with virtual libraries becoming essential in the modern learning environment. The study investigates the adoption of virtual libraries among Indonesian police academies, where cadets need access to resources that support theoretical and practical training needs. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between perception of ease of use (PEOU), perception of usability (PU), external aspiration (EA), and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 4 in shaping cadets' intentions to use virtual libraries. Using an enhanced Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, this quantitative study analyzed data from 140 cadets through structural equation modeling to examine the direct and indirect pathways of adoption intent. The findings revealed that PU significantly influenced adoption intentions, while PEOUs played a smaller role, suggesting that cadets prioritized the practical benefits of virtual libraries. However, neither the PU nor the PEOU mediates the relationship between EA, SDG alignment, and adoption intent, which suggests that external aspirations and SDG alignment alone are not enough to encourage cadet adoption in the absence of perceived direct benefits. These findings highlight the complex nature of technology adoption in special education settings, which emphasizes the need for tailored resources aligned with the cadet's operational and academic goals. The study contributes to the TAM literature by combining sustainability and aspiration dimensions, which offers insights for academy administrators and policymakers to improve the relevance of virtual libraries. To encourage adoption, the study recommends designing content that addresses cadet-specific training needs. Future research may explore the role of institutional support and longitudinal assessments to capture evolving perceptions of virtual libraries, further informing sustainable practices in police training.

Dans cet article, il est question d’un constat selon lequel, la promotion de l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes constitue un cadre plus large des Droits de l’Homme auquel la République Démocratique du Congo a adhéré. Cependant, les femmes continuent de subir des discriminations dans plusieurs domaines notamment : civil, politique, économique, social… Il ressort de cette étude que pour répondre aux exigences de la République Démocratique du Congo en matière de Droits de l‘Homme, de gouvernance démocratique et d’efficacité, les stratégies et les actions de coopération doivent impérativement prendre en compte cette réalité féminine. En outre, parce que les inégalités entre les sexes sont pour beaucoup dans la perpétuation des inégalités de développement, investir dans l’entrepreneuriat des femmes, c’est donc s’engager pour améliorer durablement la situation économique, sociale et politique des pays en développement en général, celle de la République Démocratique du Congo en particulier. Mots-clés : Entrepreneuriat, entrepreneur et entrepreneuriat féminin.

Authors: Benong Christopher Bernard , Belen Jesson , Benong Shery-Ann
Published: November 2024

Many studies have investigated that natural plant extracts could be used as natural indicators, which are alternatives to commercial pH indicators used in acid-base lessons. However, no study has yet delved into developing and assessing purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.), locally called kamot,e as a potential material for creating localized pH paper (LpP). Therefore, this study was conducted to develop a pH paper for kamote leaf extract (KLEpP) and compare it with commercial pH paper and kamote leaf extract (KLE) to assess its potential as an LpP. The research is experimental and comparative. It focused on determining how KLEpP compares with commercial pH paper and kamote leaf extract (KLE). Additionally, the study analyzed the purple sweet potato extract for potential anthocyanin content using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. Results indicated that the color of KLEpP shifts from light green to pink when immersed in a pH three standard. Further color changes were observed at pH 13 and 14, transitioning from light green to yellow-greenish and yellowish, respectively. While the color changes of KLEpP closely resemble those of KLE, the latter exhibited a wider spectrum of color changes. Notably, PSPLE demonstrated consistent color changes from pH 1 to 5, with a stronger pink at pH 3. The FTIR analysis revealed peaks indicative of various functional groups (hydroxyl groups, aldehyde group, aromatic group, hydrocarbon group, ester group bond, and C-O bond), signifying the presence of anthocyanins. The findings suggested that KLEpP has the potential to be an LpP and a practical alternative to commercial pH paper for teaching acid-base concepts. Furthermore, it could be employed to determine the pH of household materials.
Gratitude as Predictor of Psychological Well-Being Among Secondary Students
Authors: Manalo Mark Anthony , Molina Cindy , Vergara Jerald
Published: November 2024

Gratitude is one of the universal character strengths under the virtue category of transcendence. It is also defined as a sense of thankfulness and happiness resulting from acknowledging desirable opportunities, outcomes, and gifts. Much research has proven that gratitude is linked to less distress and higher life satisfaction (Zhang et al., 2022). The WHO described psychological well-being as a positive state experienced by individuals and societies (Lin et al., 2022). This also pertains to how people feel they function on a personal and social level and evaluate their lives (Michaelson et al., 2012). Both variables play a role in championing adolescents’ overall wellness, especially in schools in this age of VUCADD-BANI. This study highlights the dearth of literature in the Filipino context, emphasizing young people’s well-being and gratitude. This research quantitatively explored the prediction between gratitude and well-being among secondary students (n=91) in a private school in Manila. The sample size was determined through G*Power 3.1.9.7; the subjects were selected through a random stratified sampling technique. The data was run through JAMOVI version 2.4.14 and found a positive and moderate relationship (p<0.001, r=0.61) between gratitude and psychological well-being among secondary learners. Moreover, gratitude can predict psychological well-being by 41% among the participants. The findings suggest that fostering gratitude among secondary learners can improve mental health outcomes. Practicing gratitude can lead to greater self-acceptance, personal growth, positive relations, and purpose in life, which mitigates distress among secondary students. This can serve as a basis for gratitude-focused interventions and school counseling programs that enrich students’ well-being by flourishing gratitude at the secondary level.
Enhancing the Numeracy Skills of Grade 8 Students through Quizizz: An Interactive Learning Approach for Improved Mathematical Proficiency
Authors: Morata Jan Angelo
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Quizizz as a digital game-based learning tool in enhancing the numeracy skills of Grade 8 students at Louella Gotladera Alcoba National High School. Quasiexperimental research designs were employed, and 30 participants underwent pretest and posttest assessments on basic operations involving integers and real-world integer word problems. In this study, using Quizizz as an interactive tool for numeracy lessons was the intervention. Improvement measures in the students' numeracy skills are done by comparing scores for the pretest and posttest assessments. Paired sample t-tests quantitative analysis showed a significant increase in the mean score: from 19.7 (SD = 5.92) for the pretest to 29.2 (SD = 6.63) for the posttest. The t-value is -18.5 with a p-value of <0.001, which means that improvement is significant, and so it rejects the null hypothesis. These findings suggest that integrating game-based platforms like Quizziz can enhance proficiency in numeracy and positively impact students’ engagement. Besides the quantitative data, it was supported by the thematic analysis conducted on structured interviews that provided qualitative data about student experiences using Quizizz. The structured interview shows real-time feedback and other competition-related features, like leaderboards, increase engagement and enjoyment. At the same time, the understanding of numerical concepts develops over time for anxious students who want more explicit feedback. Thus, this result indicates that Quizzes will be helpful in the development of numeracy skills because they will attribute an interactive nature to learning and make it more fun. This study supports the idea that digital game-based learning platforms must be integrated into the mathematical education environment to achieve better results for students’ development of numeracy skills.

Childhood dental trauma is common, especially in the 2-7 age group, and affects the upper central incisors more due to their exposure in impact situations. When the trauma involves the dental pulp, the treatment is to preserve the vitality of the tooth, with pulp capping and pulpotomy procedures being the most recommended. Currently, there has been a shift from invasive practices to conservative techniques in order to minimize long-term damage and improve the child's prognosis. The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) guidelines contribute to this conservative approach, affirming the importance of immediate treatment and follow-up to avoid complications. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the implications of dental trauma in childhood, as well as how the pulp reacts to trauma. This literature review is based on articles published between 2014 and 2024, searched in the Scielo, Pubmed, Google Scholar and Periódico Capes databases. It was possible to conclude that, when subjected to trauma, the affected tooth may present some pulp responses, with pulp necrosis was the most frequent alteration.

Toward the Question of Writing a History of Cinema in the Context of Time
Authors: Vinogradov V. V.
Published: November 2024

The article is devoted to the updated methods of writing on film history. The author’s conception is based on his personal experience of writing the text-book “The Recent History of Russian Cinema” as well as on the debate in the “Film Art” (Iskusstvo kino) magazine in the early 1970s, which revealed a number of issues that are still relevant nowadays: methods of cinema studies, the principles of writing both scholarly papers and teaching aids for students, certain expectations from a historic research, the approach to the subject matter, etc.The author reflects on the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches: individual, subjective, striving for the polemical sharpness of the personal historical assessments, on the one hand, and collective, claiming certain impartialness, on the other.All these reflections led him to a model that he still sees as a multiauthored monograph, as long as it takes on the task of a detailed fundamental presentation of extensive material that requires profound knowledge in various areas. However, he does not think it appropriate to ignore the subjective component. An individual viewpoint makes it possible to create a specific semantic high field that initiates various theoretical views on filmmaking.Therefore, the functions of the team of authors can be distributed as follows: each contributor writes a fragment of the description of the historical process, perhaps even in its synchronous understanding, and together they create something that cannot be done by one researcher: an initial empirical picture. After that, one researcher, the supervisor, combines the isolated fragments into a coherent whole, something that is completely beyond the power of a team of authors. This supervisor eventually writes an integral history in his own way (but in a dialogue with the other experts) thus supplementing the original empirical picture with a single essentially diachronic view.

The article looks into the phenomenon of the “women’s wave” in modern Russian cinema. Sure enough, the films produced by women directors in the 2000s, the 2010s and the 2020s are not identical; their imagery system has transformed under the influence of the sociopolitical context, yet certain general trends can be distinguished. The author picks out the three main ones, designating them as “romantic”, “political” and “rebellious”. These thematic areas characterize the ongoing processes in modern Russian society and take films by women directors beyond the exclusively “women's issue”.
