Intercultural communication develops based on two interconnected premises. First, you live in a time when changing technology, travel, economic and political systems, immigration patterns, and population density have resulted in a world in which you regularly interact with people from different cultures. Second, nowadays, people are very sensitive to the fact that the influence of culture on communication is very close and great. Your cultural background and experience help you determine how the world should be for you and how you will interact with it. Anthropological perspective in intercultural communication is looking at intercultural communication from an anthropological point of view, because the communication already contains cultural values. Intercultural communication is part of the marriage between the disciplines of anthropology and communication which later became a separate discipline both in communication science and in anthropology. Anthropology is one of the fields of science that is the root or foundation of the birth of communication science. In subsequent developments, cultural experts realized the importance of communication in the cultural field.

Published: October 2021

Indonesia. The rise of these murder cases is due to the Indonesian nation experiencing a moral crisis. The crisis occurs because of the loss of a person's sense of empathy when communicating interpersonally with others. Someone who does not have empathy can potentially carry out aggressive acts that can harm themselves and others. Empathy is very important in communication because with empathy individuals are able to suppress aggressive actions and control emotions. Humans need to socialize with each other. In everyday life communication becomes an event to exchange information verbally and non-verbally. Empathy is also important in interpersonal communication, because interpersonal communication requires mutual understanding between the two communicating parties. This study focuses on exploring interpersonal communication skills in level (I) one students. The study was conducted on 5 students of level (I) one, because it is a transition stage from a student to a student. This study uses a qualitative approach with the type of phenomenological research, because the researcher wants to describe a meaning from the experiences of several individuals regarding the concept of communication skills. Based on the data obtained, it is known that level (I) one students have interpersonal communication skills but have not been able to apply them well in everyday life.

Published: October 2021

Balanced Scorecards (BSC) is one of the management and measurement systems used to measure the work efficiency of an institution. In Indonesia, the BSC is used as a tool for measuring the performance of higher education institutions, only a few have written about its use at the elementary and secondary school levels. Contrary to what the experts found about the poor condition of Indonesian education, the results of the BSC measurement from the study literature show the opposite condition. Is there any other meaning of these results? The success of the BSC is associated with the vision and mission of the educational institution, that's why the BSC is private and does not describe a strategy for education in general. If a benchmark of Islamic education is made and supported by longitudinal research, it will help the long-term achievement of Islamic education.

Decolonizing the Shopping Mall: A Reading of Spaces within the United Arab Emirates
Authors: AlSuwaidi Salem , Correa Felipe Botelho
Published: October 2021

Does it make sense to speak of a ‘reading’ of space? If so, what implication does that have on our experience of said space once a reading is complete and to what extent would this reading hinder or strengthen the individual or community? A reading of space has become a crucial tool in global affairs and multinational internet culture. Such a tool would allow for critiquing and dissecting unidentifiable power relations within spaces then redirecting the social production of identity and hegemony. One such discourse can be of Western cultural hegemony. This paper will begin by defining the theoretical framework that will then be used to illustrate and analyze a given space. The space chosen will be shopping malls in the United Arab Emirates, specifically their food courts and restaurants, as this nation is situated geographically in a non-Western region. A Content Analysis of the websites of the malls selected in the capital, Abu Dhabi, will illustrate the physical literal construction of this space. An analysis of these theories and illustrations about the space will aid in a debate on shopping mall restaurants' implications on identity and Western cultural hegemony. It will be concluded that a reading of space is a crucial tool to demystify the reality of Western influence on Eastern social and cultural development, ultimately critiquing the production of such spaces in order to decolonize the region.

Published: October 2021

The research reported in the present paper focuses on the application of the public relations function of messaging to the higher education sector. The study draws on relevant perspectives from marketing, education, psychology, and the study of Generation Z. The Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1988) serves as the conceptual framework for this research. The homepages of the top twenty small colleges and universities, identified by College Consensus, are scrutinized using Content Analyzes. The results suggest that the values and behavior of Generation Z are not fully covered on each homepage analyzed; however, there is an understanding that such messaging is needed. This review calls for further theoretical work on the implementation of the Theory of Planned Behavior and reveals considerations for the virtual future of marketing for higher education.

Authors: Ralph Kennedy , Ramos Nuñez Aurora
Published: October 2021

Smartphones took the world by storm in the 2000s. Over the years, smartphones have become vital in everyday life. Each generation responds to technology differently. The younger generation is much more involved with smartphones as well as technology as a whole. Thus, spending too much time on a smartphone could be related to individual’s well-being. The purpose of the present study is to measure Emotional Intelligence (EI), mindfulness, and social competence among different age cohorts and see if there are differences in phone use. Our hypothesis is that participants who score higher on EI, Social Skills, and Mindfulness will score lower on the Problematic Phone Usage Scale. Younger adults will score lower on EI, Social Skills, and Mindfulness and higher on Problematic Phone Usage than middle aged and older adults. We ran correlational analyses among, mindfulness, social competence, and problematic phone usage and an ex-post facto comparison between the four cohorts with ages ranging 18-30 (n=105), 31-40 years old (n= 30), 41-50 (n= 30), and 51 and older (n= 21). Survey questions included the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire- Short Form (TEIQ-SF), Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills, Social Competence, and Problematic Phone Usage Scale. Data showed that as age increased phone use decreased. EI, mindfulness, and social competence scores for younger adults were much lower than for middle aged and older adults while younger adults had a significantly larger problematic phone use than middle aged.
Self-perceived Body Image in Relation to Mental Health of South Korean Adolescents
Authors: Lee Sein , Jo Hyeyoung
Published: October 2021

My study is designed to investigate the differences in self-perceived body image in terms of gender and school year, as well as mental health state based on self-perceived body image. For this, I utilized data from the 15th Korean Youth Health Behavior Online Survey (2019), conducted by the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The main questions that I address are whether there is a difference of self-body perception between male and female adolescents, whether there is a difference of self-body perception based on school year, and whether there is a difference of mental health state in terms of self-perceived body image. In terms of self-perceived body image differences between gender, it was the case that more girls categorized themselves as fat than boys. In terms of self-perceived body image differences by school year, older students were more likely to categorize themselves as fat. For differences in mental health issues by self-perceived body image, students who categorized themselves as fat ranked the highest percentages in all mental health problems. Based on these findings, I discussed some implications and limitations as well as suggestions for further research.

Neglected diseases are a group of communicable diseases that mainly affect tropical regions in developing countries. Among this group of diseases is Chagas disease, which has been classified among the six most important parasitic diseases in the world, and it is estimated that more than one billion people are at risk in countries that are considered endemic. The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on the trypanocidal activity of thiosemicarbazone derivatives. The study is a review research that used 31 articles to highlight the scientific findings on the trypanocidal activity of the derivatives in question. Articles were included in the time estimate between 2010 - 2021 (last 12 years). The search and selection of the reference studies was performed in Scielo, Science Direct, PubMed and Google Academic databases. The literature highlights that thiosemicarbazones are considered privileged compounds with a wide scientific interest due to their diverse chemical and biological properties, such as: antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, antiprotozoal, and anti-chagasic. The studies presented here, which demonstrate the investigations of compounds of this class and their derivatives, are an important step towards the conception of therapeutic methods against Trypanosoma cruzi. New studies are necessary to elucidate in an even more specific way the effects of these derivatives in vivo, in order to obtain an alternative pharmacological therapy for Chagas disease.

Published: October 2021

Summary Introduction: Acute vertigo ranks among the common reasons for visiting the emergency department. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of peripheral vestibular syndrome (PVS) in patients with acute vertigo examined at the ENT emergency department and to compare the agreement of physical ENT examination with video-assisted vestibular testing. Methods: Patients eamined at the ENT emergency department from January to December 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients who underwent basic ENT examination without video-assisted vestibular testing form group A. The patients who underwent basic ENT examination which was followed by video head impulse test (vHIT) and videonystagmography in the next four days form group B. Results: A total of 117 patients with acute vertigo were included in group A, PVS was found in 31 patients (27%). In total, 50 patients were included in group B; PVS was found in 15 patients (30%), vestibular neuronitis was dia­gnosed most often (10 patients). The difference in the dia­gnosis of PVS by basic ENT examination (27 patients, 54%) and by video-assisted vestibular testing (15 patients, 30%) was statistically significant (P = 0.0030). The gain of the lateral (P = 0.0101) and superior (P = 0.0043) semicircular canal proved to be statistically significant, while vHIT was lower in PVS in comparison to other causes of vertigo. Conclusion: After basic ENT examination, PVS as a cause of acute vertigo was dia­gnosed in 27%. Video-assisted vestibular testing proved a statistically significant lower incidence of PVS in comparison to basic ENT examination. Accessibility of video- -assisted vestibular testing in the emergency department might allow for higher accuracy in the dia­gnosis of acute vertigo. Key words acute vertigo – vestibular function tests – video head impulse test – videonystagmography

Published: October 2021

Summary Congenital malformations of the inner ear consist of many different anomalies of the labyrinth. They often cause hearing loss, mostly of the sensorineural type. Eighty percent of hearing loss is caused by an anomaly of the membranous labyrinth, and 20% by an anomaly of the bone labyrinth. The role in pathogenesis is played by hereditary factors and influence of the environment. The treatment depends on the severity of the hearing loss, abnormalities of the external and middle ear, associated defects, and presence and function of the auditory nerve. We have modern hearing aids or implantable systems. Another options include a sign language and mouth-reading. The article includes a retrospective analysis of patients with congenital inner ear malformations at our tertiary center in 2010–2020. In conclusion, our patients clearly prove that even children with profound hearing loss are successfully implanted and restored hearing can be achieved in most of them. Key words congenital ear malformation – inner ear – hearing loss – anomalies of bony labyrinth – anomalies of membranous labyrinth – rehabilitation

O constitucionalismo popular surge como uma contraposição ao constitucionalismo liberal, ao rejeitar a supremacia do Poder Judiciário e propor a transferência da autoridade interpretativa, final e vinculante da Suprema Corte para o povo. A teoria, que teve sua manifestação mais expoente na obra de Larry Kramer, se funda em uma insatisfação popular com o modelo constitucional vigente e na perspectiva de que o povo é o melhor intérprete para preservar o real sentido do texto constitucional. Contudo, a proposta, de acordo com a visão defendida no presente trabalho, parte de pressupostos equivocados, afetando, sobremaneira, sua subsistência e implementação no plano prático. Neste artigo, fazendo-se uso do método hipotético-dedutivo, é analisada a teoria do constitucionalismo popular, seguida das críticas desenvolvidas sob o aspecto conceitual e das bases fundamentais da proposta de Larry Kramer. A análise revela que Kramer, procurando prevenir a tirania judicial, defende a proposta do constitucionalismo popular, enquanto as críticas se direcionam no sentido de que a fragilidade da supremacia judicial abre espaço para uma tirania popular. Soluções para esse dilema são decididas, contudo, na Política, e não no Direito. Palavras chave: Constitucionalismo popular; Supremacia judicial, Tirania.

The human race has shown a huge interest in machines over the years and has developed and advanced to a very large extent in this domain. Starting from the object identification and classification through pictures to editing for the captured image or video everything can be performed through machines and advanced systems, one such part of this advanced technology is deep learning or machine learning. which comes with its own individual set of modules, algorithms, and techniques. Similar to this domain one such idea which was discovered is handwritten digit recognition. This is one of such areas where development and research occur around the numerical also known as digits, where a number of possibilities, permutations, and combinations are attained to gain accurate results this can also be perceived as the ability of computers to interpret and understand the given input which is through number plates, photographs, documents or can be in a handwritten format and to convert it in digital format as an output through screens.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infected health care workers (HCWs) and to measure their immunoglobulin G (IgG) response. Methods: This is a retrospective and prospective cohort study where details of COVID-19 infected HCWs were collected in a pre-designed database in Al-Nahdha Hospital between 2 April and 24 July 2020. A single serum sample was collected from participating HCWs to detect the presence of IgG in their sera. Results: Out of 974 HCWs, 103 (10.6%) were infected and tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Nurses and doctors were the most affected groups. The source of infection was the hospital in 50.0% of cases. Nurses were more than four times likely to have a hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection (odds ratio = 4.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.71–12.52, p-value = 0.002). HCWs working in COVID-19 areas were more likely to have hospital-acquired infection than community-acquired infection (p < 0.005). All infected HCWs made a full recovery, with only 3.9% requiring admission. Out of 74 tested HCWs for IgG, 60 (81.1%) were positive. IgG positivity rate was significantly higher among HCWs in COVID-19 areas (p =0.026) and among non-Omanis (p =0.008). Moreover, the median IgG level was significantly higher among non-Omanis (p =0.004). Conclusions: This study has highlighted the group at higher risk of hospital-acquired COVID-19 infection which was nurses and those working in COVID-19 areas. It highlighted as well the high seropositivity among this infected group. These findings support the national guidelines on priority groups for vaccination among HCWs working in COVID-19 areas with no previous laboratory-confirmed COVID-19.

Because they can archive a variety of geochemical proxies and be precisely and accurately dated with the U-Th decay series chronometer, stalagmites are widely used for paleoclimate reconstructions. However, limitations in the use of this chronometer arise because U-Th dating is analytically time consuming, expensive, and requires a relatively large sample size. These limitations restrict the number of absolute dates usually obtained, which can result in significant uncertainties in the age model and inhibit the ability to archive high resolution records of environmental variability, particularly in those stalagmites where there are variations in growth rate not constrained by U-Th dates. Here, we explore the relationship between stalagmite color and growth rate. Consequently, we evaluate the use of a simple, practically non-destructive approach to model the age-depth relationship of stalagmites using the sample color to provide a continuous record of growth rate. The method was developed by comparing high-resolution color images with pre-determined U-Th dates along the growth axes of seven stalagmites. The obtained results suggest that prior to dating, a color-derived, continuous growth rate model may be used to identify important changes in growth rate which may aid in the determination of the most efficacious locations for U-Th dating. Further, continuous color-derived interpolations between U-Th derived dates may be superior to traditional linear interpolation methods. Such an approach has the potential to greatly improve a researcher’s ability to efficiently choose sampling locations for more precise, albeit laborious and costly, U-Th dating.

Introdução: A sífilis gestacional é uma doença infectocontagiosa transmitida pelo Treponema pallidum, caracterizada pela rápida evolução clínica e associada a diversos desfechos negativos na gravidez. Esse problema de saúde pública é agravado por falhas na assistência adequada à gestante, as quais estão relacionadas à fragilidade de acesso à informação, ao pré-natal de qualidade e ao suporte de proteção à gestante e ao feto. Objetivo: Identificar os casos notificados de sífilis gestacional na região metropolitana de Belém (PA), no período de 2010 a 2020. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo, cujos dados foram obtidos por meio de consulta à base de dados do Sistema de Informações de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) disponibilizada pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Resultados: No período analisado, foram totalizados 3.153 casos de sífilis gestacional na região metropolitana, sendo o município de Belém o responsável por agregar a maior quantidade de casos notificados. A faixa etária de maior ocorrência foi de 20 a 29 anos, com 57,1% dos casos. A idade gestacional de maior ocorrência, com 59,8% dos casos, foi o terceiro trimestre de gravidez. A maior prevalência de sífilis gestacional ocorreu em mulheres com a 5ª a 8ª série incompleta, evidenciando 21,1% dos casos. Conclusão: De acordo com os dados obtidos, conclui-se que uma maior notificação dos casos de sífilis gestacional ocorreu na metrópole de Belém, enfatizando a importância da realização de redes de ações e serviços para o diagnóstico dessa doença em território belenense, além do acompanhamento, divulgação e incentivo ao teste pré-natal.

Introdução: Anualmente, ocorrem milhares de casos de doenças respiratórias infectocontagiosas e grande parte dos métodos de medicina tradicional são demasiadamente agressivos, tendo medicamentos com efeitos danosos ao corpo humano. Porém, os fármacos, não são os únicos métodos de tratamento dessas doenças, a homeopatia, é um método médico legal, que busca amenizar os impactos dos tratamentos ao organismo. Contudo, seu uso não é amplamente exercido. Objetivo: Nesse âmbito, o presente estudo busca o levantar dados para analisar a eficácia e o custo benefício da homeopatia acerca das infecções respiratórias, e principalmente, a inserção ativa da homeopatia nas redes públicas de saúde. Metodologia: Foram utilizados os métodos de leitura crítica e de pesquisa bibliográfica. As buscas foram realizadas através das principais bases de dados de artigos científicos e constituições estrangeiras e a nacional, como: SciELO, Google Scholar, a Constituição Federal, entre o intervalo de 2000 a 2021. Resultados: Com base nos estudos analisados, o tratamento homeopático se mostra mais que uma resposta com efeito placebo. Ademais, as doenças respiratórias, sejam elas de origem bacterianas, fúngicas ou virais, são causas relevantes de buscas a redes de saúde, com isso são receitados remédios da farmacologia clássica. Como no caso da bronquite, pneumonia e tuberculose que os fármacos apresentam muitas contraindicações e vários efeitos adversos nos pacientes, em contrapartida, o tratamento com o uso da homeopatia, que apresenta igual eficácia a dos fármacos tradicionais, é seguro, eficaz e saudável. Outrossim, um dos atrativos da homeopatia é a redução dos custos, o que favorece o SUS e diversifica o alcance da homeopatia. Conclusão: Portanto, mediante todos os avanços e limites o custo-benefício que a homeopatia apresenta, na busca da cura ou da atenuação das doenças respiratórias infectocontagiosas, prova-se ideal e necessário o seu uso para evitar o alto custo no tratamento de doenças e os danos ao corpo. Somado a isso, é de suma importância que o SUS oferte tratamentos alternativos que sejam menos danosos que os tradicionais de modo que suas políticas de promoção a saúde e redução de danos sejam contempladas.
