Published: December 2021

Background

One of the most complicated medical needs of older adults is managing their complex medication regimens. However, the use of technology to aid older adults in this endeavor is impeded by the fact that their technological capabilities are lower than those of much of the rest of the population. What is needed to help manage medications is a technology that seamlessly integrates within their comfort levels, such as artificial intelligence agents.

Objective

This study aimed to assess the benefits, barriers, and information needs that can be provided by an artificial intelligence–powered medication information voice chatbot for older adults.

Methods

A total of 8 semistructured interviews were conducted with geriatrics experts. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. Each interview was coded by 2 investigators (2 among ML, PR, METR, and KR) using a semiopen coding method for qualitative analysis, and reconciliation was performed by a third investigator. All codes were organized into the benefit/nonbenefit, barrier/nonbarrier, and need categories. Iterative recoding and member checking were performed until convergence was reached for all interviews.

Results

The greatest benefits of a medication information voice-based chatbot would be helping to overcome the vision and dexterity hurdles experienced by most older adults, as it uses voice-based technology. It also helps to increase older adults’ medication knowledge and adherence and supports their overall health. The main barriers were technology familiarity and cost, especially in lower socioeconomic older adults, as well as security and privacy concerns. It was noted however that technology familiarity was not an insurmountable barrier for older adults aged 65 to 75 years, who mostly owned smartphones, whereas older adults aged >75 years may have never been major users of technology in the first place. The most important needs were to be usable, to help patients with reminders, and to provide information on medication side effects and use instructions.

Conclusions

Our needs analysis results derived from expert interviews clarify that a voice-based chatbot could be beneficial in improving adherence and overall health if it is built to serve the many medication information needs of older adults, such as reminders and instructions. However, the chatbot must be usable and affordable for its widespread use.

Authors: Gama Fábio , Tyskbo Daniel , Nygren Jens , Barlow James , Reed Julie , Svedberg Petra
Published: December 2021

Background

Significant efforts have been made to develop artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for health care improvement. Despite the enthusiasm, health care professionals still struggle to implement AI in their daily practice.

Objective

This paper aims to identify the implementation frameworks used to understand the application of AI in health care practice.

Methods

A scoping review was conducted using the Cochrane, Evidence Based Medicine Reviews, Embase, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO databases to identify publications that reported frameworks, models, and theories concerning AI implementation in health care. This review focused on studies published in English and investigating AI implementation in health care since 2000. A total of 2541 unique publications were retrieved from the databases and screened on titles and abstracts by 2 independent reviewers. Selected articles were thematically analyzed against the Nilsen taxonomy of implementation frameworks, and the Greenhalgh framework for the nonadoption, abandonment, scale-up, spread, and sustainability (NASSS) of health care technologies.

Results

In total, 7 articles met all eligibility criteria for inclusion in the review, and 2 articles included formal frameworks that directly addressed AI implementation, whereas the other articles provided limited descriptions of elements influencing implementation. Collectively, the 7 articles identified elements that aligned with all the NASSS domains, but no single article comprehensively considered the factors known to influence technology implementation. New domains were identified, including dependency on data input and existing processes, shared decision-making, the role of human oversight, and ethics of population impact and inequality, suggesting that existing frameworks do not fully consider the unique needs of AI implementation.

Conclusions

This literature review demonstrates that understanding how to implement AI in health care practice is still in its early stages of development. Our findings suggest that further research is needed to provide the knowledge necessary to develop implementation frameworks to guide the future implementation of AI in clinical practice and highlight the opportunity to draw on existing knowledge from the field of implementation science.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Digital health technologies have been proposed to support hospital-to-home transition for older adults. The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated physical distancing guidelines have propelled a shift toward digital health technologies. However, the characteristics of older adults who participated in digital health research interventions to support hospital-to-home transitions remain unclear. This information is needed to assess whether current digital health interventions are generalizable to the needs of the broader older adult population.

OBJECTIVE

This rapid review of the existing literature aimed to identify the characteristics of the populations targeted by studies testing the implementation of digital health interventions designed to support hospital-to-home transitions, identify the characteristics of the samples included in studies testing digital health interventions used to support hospital-to-home transitions, and create recommendations for enhancing the diversity of samples within future hospital-to-home digital health interventions.

METHODS

A rapid review methodology based on scoping review guidelines by Arksey and O’Malley was developed. A search for peer-reviewed literature published between 2010 and 2021 on digital health solutions that support hospital-to-home transitions for older adults was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, and CINAHL databases. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative content analysis. The Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Plus lens theoretically guided the study design, analysis, and interpretation.

RESULTS

A total of 34 studies met the inclusion criteria. Our findings indicate that many groups of older adults were excluded from these interventions and remain understudied. Specifically, the oldest old and those living with cognitive impairments were excluded from the studies included in this review. In addition, very few studies have described the characteristics related to gender diversity, education, race, ethnicity, and culture. None of the studies commented on the sexual orientation of the participants.

CONCLUSIONS

This is the first review, to our knowledge, that has mapped the literature focusing on the inclusion of older adults in digital hospital-to-home interventions. The findings suggest that the literature on digital health interventions tends to operationalize older adults as a homogenous group, ignoring the heterogeneity in older age definitions. Inconsistency in the literature surrounding the characteristics of the included participants suggests a need for further study to better understand how digital technologies to support hospital-to-home transitions can be inclusive.
Consumer-generated discourse on cannabis as a medicine: Review of techniques (Preprint)
Authors: Khademi Habibabadi Sedigheh , Hallinan Christine , Bonomo Yvonne , Conway Mike
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

Medicinal cannabis is increasingly being used for a variety of physical and mental health conditions. Social media and online health platforms provide a valuable real time and cost-effective surveillance resource for individuals who use cannabis for medicinal purposes. This is especially important considering evidence for the optimal use of medicinal cannabis is still emerging. Despite the online marketing of medicinal cannabis to consumers, currently, there is no robust, regulatory framework to measure clinical health benefit or individual experience of adverse events.

OBJECTIVE

We reviewed research approaches and methodologies of studies that utilize online user-generated text to study the use of cannabis as a medicine.

METHODS

We conducted the review using PRISMA guidelines, searching Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase databases from their respective inceptions until May 2021. Studies were included if they aimed to understand online user-generated text related to health conditions where cannabis is used as a medicine, or where health was mentioned in general cannabis conversations.

RESULTS

Thirty-eight articles were included in the review. Of these, Twitter was used three times more than other computer-generated sources including Reddit, online forums, GoFundMe, YouTube, and Google Trends. Analytic methods included sentiment assessment, thematic analysis (manual and automatic), social network analysis, and geographic analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

This study is the first to systematically review techniques utilized by research on consumer-generated text for understanding cannabis as a medicine. It is increasingly evident that consumer-generated data offers opportunities for a greater understanding of individual behavior, population health outcomes. Yet research using this data has some limitations that include difficulties in establishing sample representativeness, and a lack of methodological best practice. To address these, publicly available de-identified annotated data sources; determination of posts origins (organizations, bots, power users, or ordinary individuals); and more powerful analytical techniques can be employed.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted medical education, shifting a huge portion of learning online. Social media platforms have long been well-integrated into medical education. However, Telegram’s role in medical education remains relatively unexplored. A Telegram channel titled “Telegram Education for Surgery Learning and Application (TESLA)” focusing on General Surgery education was created to supplement medical students’ learning. It encompassed weekly multiple-choice questions and resources such as illustrations and journal articles.

OBJECTIVE

This study explored students’ experience of TESLA and their views on the role of messaging apps in medical education.

METHODS

We invited thirteen medical students from Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Singapore who were in the TESLA channel for at least a month to participate in individual semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted via video conference using an interview guide. Interviews were transcribed and analysed by two researchers using inductive thematic content analysis.

RESULTS

Three themes were identified: (1) Learning as a medical student, (2) The role of mobile learning in medical education and (3) TESLA for surgical education. Students shared that pandemic-related safety measures such as reduced clinic allocations and the inability to cross between wards led to a decrease in clinical exposure. Students used a variety of messaging and study apps to aid their medical education. Telegram was preferred over other messaging apps. Concerning the use of TESLA, students felt that the questions were clinically relevant and of appropriate difficulty. Students offered suggestions for improvement relating to the organization, content and format of TESLA.

CONCLUSIONS

Medical students found TESLA useful as a supplementary learning instrument in surgical education. They were supportive of integrating TESLA into formal undergraduate education and using Telegram as an educational tool in other areas of medicine. In line with our findings, we outlined recommendations for the use of Telegram in medical education.

Published: December 2021

E-commerce can be used to increase companies or sellers’ profits. For consumers, e-commerce can help them shop faster. The weakness of e-commerce is that there is too much product information presented in the catalog which in turn makes consumers confused. The solution is by providing product recommendations. As the development of sensor technology, eye tracker can capture user attention when shopping. The user attention was used as data of consumer interest in the product in the form of fixation duration following the Bojko taxonomy. The fixation duration data was processed into product purchase prediction data to know consumers’ desire to buy the products by using Chandon method. Both data could be used as variables to make product recommendations based on eye tracking data. The implementation of the product recommendations based on eye tracking data was an eye tracking experiment at selvahouse.com which sells hijab and women modest wear. The result was a list of products that have similarities to other products. The product recommendation method used was item-to-item collaborative filtering. The novelty of this research is the use of eye tracking data, namely the fixation duration and product purchase prediction data as variables for product recommendations. Product recommendation that produced by eye tracking data can be solution of product recommendation’s problems, namely sparsity and cold start.

Published: December 2021

Disability is a physical or mental impairment. People with disability have more barriers to do certain activity than those without disability. Moreover, several conditions make them having difficulty to communicate with other people. Currently, researchers have helped people with disabilities by developing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, which uses artifact on electroencephalograph (EEG) as a communication tool using blinks. Research on eye blinks has only focused on the threshold and peak amplitude, while the difference in how many blinks can be detected using peak amplitude has not been the focus yet. This study used primary data taken using a Muse headband on 15 subjects. This data was used as a dataset classified using bagging (random forest) and boosting (XGBoost) methods with python; 80% of the data was allocated for learning and 20% was for testing. The classified data was divided into ten times of testing, which were then averaged. The number of eye blinks’ classification results showed that the accuracy value using random forest was 77.55%, and the accuracy result with the XGBoost method was 90.39%. The result suggests that the experimental model is successful and can be used as a reference for making applications that help people to communicate by differentiating the number of eye blinks. This research focused on developing the number of eye blinks. However, in this study, only three blinking were used so that further research could increase these number.

Published: December 2021

Limited battery power is a major challenge for wireless sensor network (WSN) in internet of things (IoT) applications, especially in hard-to-reach places that require periodic battery replacement. The energy harvesting application is intended as an alternative to maintain network lifetime by utilizing environmental energy. The proposed method utilized piezoelectricity to convert vibration or pressure energy into electrical energy through a modular piezoelectric energy harvesting design used to supply energy to sensor nodes in WSN. The module design consisted of several piezoelectric elements, of which each had a different character in generating energy. A bridge diode was connected to each element to reduce the feedback effect of other elements when pressure was exerted. The energy produced by the piezoelectric is an impulse so that the capacitor was used to quickly store the energy. The proposed module produced 7.436 μJ for each step and 297.4 μJ of total energy with pressure of a 45 kg load 40 times with specific experiments installed under each step. The energy could supply WSN nodes in IoT application with a simple energy harvesting system. This paper presents a procedure for measuring the energy harvested from a commonly available piezoelectric buzzer. The specific configurations of the piezoelectric and the experiment setups will be explained. Therefore, the output energy characteristics will be understood. In the end, the potentially harvested energy can be estimated. Therefore, the configuration of IoT WSN could be planned.

Published: December 2021

Chronic kidney disease is a preventable high-burden disease. Several risk factors for impaired kidney function have been identified, including lifestyles, such as alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking. However, the evidence remains inconsistent. East Nusa Tenggara has the largest proportion of heavy alcohol drinking among all provinces in Indonesia. Genetic polymorphism of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is related to alcohol drinking behavior through the inactivity of the ALDH2 enzyme, which leads to toxic acetaldehyde accumulation. This study aims to recognize the linkage of ALDH2 genotypes to kidney function among alcohol drinkers and cigarette smokers in East Nusa Tenggara. This study was a cross-sectional study of East Nusa Tenggara ethnicity, aged 18-60 years old. Demographic and lifestyle data were obtained via a questionnaire. DNA analysis was conducted with the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Creatinine and BUN levels were measured with a chemistry analyzer. Afterward, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated from creatinine value using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. The association between kidney function status and alcohol drinking and cigarette smoking habits were analyzed using the chi-square test, then stratified based on genotype groups. Fifty-one subjects were included in this study, while the mean age was 26.33±1.33 years and the median age was 22 years. There were 37 (72.5%) alcohol drinkers and 14 (27.5%) non-drinkers; 28 (54,9%) cigarette smokers and 23 (45.1%) non-smokers. This study revealed no significant association between kidney function status and alcohol drinking habits. Cigarette smoking habits were inversely associated with eGFR decline and creatinine elevation in wild-type ALDH2 groups.

Published: December 2021

Excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to many human organs, but the association with kidney function is still controversial. The disagreement in findings might be caused by ADH1C polymorphism's influence on alcohol metabolism rate. This study aims to determine the correlation between ADH1C polymorphism and kidney function status in Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) ethnicity, a population with highly prevalent alcohol consumption in Indonesia. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 76 subjects, who are natives of NTT, Indonesia. The genotyping of extracted DNA for ADH1C was done by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) using restriction endonuclease SspI. Kidney function status was defined by serum urea level and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that had been categorized according to percentiles. The correlation with the ADH1C allele was analyzed using chi-square tests. The genotype of ADH1C in NTT ethnicity was ADH1C*1/*2 (51.3%), ADH1C*2/*2 (47.4%), and ADH1C*1/*1 (1.3%). The results showed that the population had the ADH1C*2 (73.03%) and the ADH1C*1 (26.97%) allele. There was a significant association between ADH1C polymorphism and eGFR among NTT ethnicity (p=0.005) when eGFR was analyzed at the 25th percentile (74.75 mL/minute/1.73m2). However, we found no associations when eGFR was analyzed at 50th (p=0.571) and 75th (p=0.335) percentiles. The odds ratio shows that having the ADH1C*1/*2 genotype escalates the probability of declining eGFR 6.620 times compared to ADH1C*2/*2 (95% CI: 1.539-28.478), after adjusted for smoking behavior. We found no association between ADH1C polymorphism and serum urea level (p=0.123, 0.421, and 0.335). The majority of NTT ethnicity have the ADH1C*1/*2 genotype. Populations with ADH1C*1/*2 have higher odds ratio for eGFR below 74.75 mL/minute/1.73m2 than those with ADH1C*2/*2 genotype. There was no association between ADH1C polymorphism and serum urea levels.

Published: December 2021

Hyperglycemia is one of the complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Continuation of this situation in T2DM will lead to more serious complications such as morbidity and death. There are improvements and advances in the management of T2DM at present, but they are accompanied by an increase in medical costs. To solve these problems, an organized approach is needed to control hyperglycemia through peer support interventions which are considered to be able to reduce treatment costs. Peer support may take advantage of the ability of diabetes patients to support each other in managing their daily lives, which is very useful as a step to promote the type of daily behavioral efforts needed to prevent disease progression. This study aimed to identify the effect of peer support intervention in improving glycemic control in patients with T2DM. This study was a literature review using seven databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Clinical Key, Cochrane, Ebsco, and DOAJ. Inclusion criteria were: articles published in the last 10 years, in full text and in English version. Five studies were reviewed that met the inclusion criteria. The results of this review showed the effectiveness of peer support in improving glycemic control in diabetes patients. Peer support significantly lowered HbA1c and also led to a significant reduction in fasting blood sugar. Peer support may reduce glycosylated blood hemoglobin levels, increase knowledge regarding insulin use and increase diabetes self-management skills, especially in patients who do not have literacy skills. In conclusion, peer support can be used as a non-pharmacological therapy to improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM.

Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global concern since it has severely affected various aspects of life such as health, economy, society, culture, and religion. Community empowerment in breaking the chain of region-based COVID-19 spread is an effective approach that can be taken. This intervention is an important alternative measure to slow the morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 that continue to occur in Indonesia. This article aimed to describe the implementation of a community-based COVID-19 prevention program that was conducted among 280 families in six sub-districts in Brebes Regency from May to June 2020. The assessment used a questionnaire of COVID-19 transmission risk, with a total of 29 indicators developed based on references from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The preliminary assessment of our program found several aspects that were related to the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the village and observed that there was insufficient public knowledge about COVID-19 including poor practice of health protocols and the negative stigma of society towards patients with COVID-19. The community-based program involved several activities, which namely consisted of program introduction, coordination with stakeholders, community assessments, group discussions, village community deliberations, health education about COVID-19 and 6 step hand washing, distribution of cloth masks, socialization of mask usage and care, socialization of pregnancy checks during the pandemic, provision of hand washing facilities in front of the house, activities evaluation, follow-up plans, and closings.  Furthermore, the aforementioned activities also used videos, posters, leaflets, WhatsApp, as well as Zoom Cloud Meetings as the media. The evaluation phase of the program showed a better understanding related to COVID-19 and health protocol practice in each region. Community empowerment and collaboration with health care facilities can be pursued as a frontline solution to tackle the transmission of COVID-19. Good support and active community participation can contribute to improve the public health status.
Humanization in Educational Environments; Aspects Necessary for Living in School Today
Authors: Salum Tome Jose Manuel
Published: December 2021

While it is true, quality has always been measured through statistics and percentages, often forgetting the training of the whole person.Now, when we talk about issues such as humanism and education supported by technology, we can fall into extremes: it is common to label technology as the provider of all the evils of today’s civilization; or the opposite assumption; to argue that incorporating technologies into education would be the panacea for all the problems it faces and finally, to assume that the subject of the humanities is more typical of actions and attitudes of the past than as a current need, giving vitality to any educational process. However, and fortunately for the educational community, today there are global efforts to make the educational task a human action that minimizes inequities and the abysmal differences that exist in countries like ours. Fernando Reimers says: “Equal educational opportunities must be the priority objective of educational policies, the aim of education must be to contribute to creating just societies. This requires improving the learning environments of the poor, but not only along the paths that have been started over the last decade. This aspect pointed out by Reimers is precisely the central aspect that all educational action must contemplate, the educational policies that are implemented in our country must guarantee, above all, the construction of a just and egalitarian society, strengthening the cultural wealth that we have, with respect to to the diversity of people, their past, their present and especially their future”.

Authors: Soni Shubham
Published: December 2021

Abstract: A vehicular ad hoc network is a type of network divided by an area where car nodes can join or leave the network. Due to the flexibility of the network environment active contractual routes are used in the development of the route from the source to the destination. Various active and active protocols are updated in this paper. Active routing protocols are those that use current network information in the development of the route from the source to the destination. Active routing protocols are those that use the pre-defined network information in the route setting. Active route agreements use route tables in route development. In this review paper, a literature survey was conducted on VANET route protocols. It is analyzed that an effective route protocol offers higher performance compared to active router protocols.

Review and Analysis on Filtering of Unwanted Multimedia Messages from Online Social Network User Walls
Authors: Ratnam Martand
Published: December 2021

Abstract: When it comes to sharing and exchanging various types of information, online social networks (OSNs) have become an increasingly popular and interactive medium in today's world. People who are connected to blogs and social networks see all of the publicly shared information, and it has a profound effect on the human mind. Messages or comments posted on a wall, a public or private area, may include unnecessary information or sensitive data. Thus, online social networks can benefit from information filtering, which can be used to help users organise messages written in public areas by removing unnecessary words. An information filtering system proposed in this paper may allow OSN users to control the posting and commenting on their walls directly. Every time a user posts a message, the message is intercepted by the filtered wall, which then applies Filtering and Black List Rules to it. The message will appear on the user's wall if it is not filtered or blacklisted. Keywords: Content Based Message Filtering, Demographic Filtering, Collaborative Filtering.

Published: December 2021

Рассмотрены новые конструкции силовых схем летательных аппаратов на основе сетчатых оболочек из однонаправленного углепластика и проблемы, возникающие при защите их элементов от низкоскоростных ударных воздействий. Показано, что аэродинамическая обшивка и силовой сетчатый каркас должны быть разделены защитным слоем из упругопластического материала, способного поглощать энергию удара без повреждения каркаса. На основе метода конечных элементов разработаны расчётные модели, позволяющие дать оценку прочности элементов каркаса из однонаправленного углепластика. На примере сетчатой оболочки самолета бизнес-класса диаметром 2 м найдены рациональные параметры защиты каркаса при ударах с энергией до 50 Дж. Вариация толщины защитного слоя позволяет обеспечить требуемый максимальный уровень повреждений каркаса. Результаты экспериментальных исследований удара по фрагментам каркаса и их остаточной прочности при сжатии хорошо согласуются с расчётными.
Znaczenie diagnozy prognostycznej w resocjalizacja nieletnich sprawców przestępstw seksualnych
Authors: Pastwa-Wojciechowska Beata , Grzegorzewska Iwona
Published: December 2021

Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy. Zaprezentowane i omówione zostały zagadnienia związane z diagnozą prognostyczną w resocjalizacji nieletnich sprawców przestępstw. Skoncentrowano się na takich zagadnieniach, jak: istota diagnozy prognostycznej, charakterystyka nieletnich sprawców przemocy seksualnej, uwarunkowania powrotu do przestępczości nieletnich sprawców, specyfika szacowania powrotności do przestępstwa seksualnego nieletnich oraz resocjalizacja nieletnich w kontekście diagnozy prognostycznej.  Przyjęcie takiej konstrukcji rozważań pozwala na analizę wczesnych predyktorów przestępczości seksualnej nieletnich a tym samym zidentyfikowanie ścieżek rozwojowych o odrębnych czynnikach przyczynowych. Podejście takie ma istotne znaczenie teoretyczne i aplikacyjne albowiem daje szansę na rozróżnienie przyczyn od konsekwencji, a tym samym zrozumienie procesów rozwojowych w kontekście normatywnym i nienormatywnym. Z kolei w aspekcie diagnostycznym i interwencyjnym pozwoliłoby na uwspólnienie tych czynności i dopasowanie ich do okresu rozwojowego.
Faces of security. Radicalization of prisoners as a challenge for the future of security of the Polish penitentiary institutions
Authors: Mazurek Witold
Published: December 2021

An issue that is essential to contemporary society is the question of state security and personal safety of the citizens. Therefore, the state has to deal with one of the most important threats, i.e. radicalization. The phenomenon of home-grown radicalism is known in Western European countries. The phenomenon of radicalization should not be identified solely with contemporary domestic Islamic terrorism. Radicalism is not limited to one ideology. The question about the process of acquiring extremist beliefs is one of the most important for political scientists, political psychologists, sociologists and criminologists. Wanting to deal with the etiology of the decision about a terrorist attack, the focus should be on the moment when potential terrorists start and undergo the process of radicalization. The article aims to signal the problem of radicalization in Polish penitentiary units. The authors do not provide the knowledge necessary to counteract this phenomenon in penitentiary units. However, they point to the definition problems, the theoretical model of radicalization, the place of radicalization in the European Union's policy. They also present the penitentiary unit as a place susceptible to radicalization. They formulate general remarks on combating radicalization among prisoners. They inform that the Prison Service should not be left alone in counteracting the radicalization of prisoners. It is an element of the state security system. It also cooperates with other entities in the rehabilitation of prisoners. The authors acknowledge that the way to prevent the negative effects of the radicalization process of prisoners is first of all training personnel in this field. It is also the fundamental issue to isolate prisoners who are a source of danger. In this area, the authors suggest that if the radical attitudes of prisoners are intensified, it is worth considering introducing legislative solutions facilitating faster and adequate operation of prison staff in such cases.
Podejście salutogeniczne w resocjalizacji. Przegląd koncepcji
Authors: Kowalczyk Małgorzata H.
Published: December 2021

Podejście salutogeniczne jest jednym z wiodących sposobów myślenia o resocjalizacji.  Kładzie nacisk na podmiotowość osób uczestniczących w procesie resocjalizacji. Nadrzędnym celem interwencji resocjalizacyjnych jest wspomaganie zmian jakie w sposób naturalny dokonują się w życiu jednostki, koncentrując się na posiadanych przez nią potencjałach. Podejście to znajduje odzwierciedlenie w różnych koncepcjach teoretycznych popartych praktyką jak i postulowanych kierunkach interwencji resocjalizacyjnych. Jest to podejście znane także w polskiej myśli resocjalizacyjnej. Celem niniejszego teoretycznego opracowania było omówienie najważniejszych koncepcji resocjalizacji odwołujących się do tej właśnie perspektywy. Zaprezentowane zostały najbardziej znane i poparte badaniami koncepcje: twórczej resocjalizacji, wieloczynnikowego modelu gotowości sprawców oraz model dobrego życia. Wspomniane koncepcje dają możliwość niekonwencjonalnego traktowania oddziaływań resocjalizacyjnych, indywidualnego podejścia do każdej osoby wymagającej interwencji resocjalizacyjnych lub terapeutycznych i mogą być inspiracją przy projektowaniu oddziaływań wobec najtrudniejszych kategorii sprawców przestępstw.

Od wielu lat, organizacje pozarządowe w Polsce, przyczyniają się do reintegracji społecznej osób zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym, zarówno poprzez świadczenie usług, środowiskową aktywizację społeczną jak i różnego rodzaju działania indywidualne i wspólnotowe. Organizacje pozarządowe, jako rzecznik reprezentują interesy środowiska i szerzej mówiąc społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, a w szczególności określonych grup społecznych, które z różnych przyczyn mogą być marginalizowane. Proponują pożądane rozwiązania legislacyjne. Budują koalicje poparcia określonych rozwiązań. Doceniając rolę i znaczenie oddziaływania organizacji pozarządowych na osoby oraz całe grup zagrożonych wykluczeniem społecznym, należy podkreślić konieczność wbudowania w proponowany system readaptacji tych osób, elementów tożsamości osobowej, która pozwoli na uruchamianie procesów edukacji, pomocy i integracji oczekiwanych z pozycji samowychowania i samoświadomości.
O potrzebie wzmacniania relacji interpersonalnych w czasach pandemii koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 – doniesienia z badań z udziałem młodzieży akademickiej
Authors: Myszka-Strychalska Lucyna
Published: December 2021

Sytuacja pandemii wirusa SARS-CoV-2 oraz wynikające z niej regulacje prawne mające na celu zapobieganie rozprzestrzenianiu się choroby COVID-19, którą wywołuje, nie pozostały bez znaczenia dla jakości życia człowieka. Różnorodne obostrzenia społeczno-gospodarcze, w tym także nakaz przymusowej izolacji społecznej, który swoją najbardziej restrykcją formę w Polsce przyjął od drugiej połowy marca do maja 2020 r., znacząco ograniczyły kontakty międzyludzkie. W konsekwencji, wiele obszarów ludzkiej aktywności zostało przeniesionych do przestrzeni internetowej. Zmiana ta nie ominęła również młodzieży akademickiej, która przeszła na tryb edukacji zdalnej, co stanowiło kolejną trudność na drodze do utrzymywania bezpośrednich relacji z innymi ludźmi. Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań empirycznych dotyczących jakości relacji interpersonalnych młodzieży studiującej w trybie stacjonarnym w czasie COVID-19. W badaniu, w którym wykorzystano ankietę internetową, wzięło udział 2285 respondentów. Zgromadzony materiał, który został poddany analizie statystycznej, dowodzi, iż w opiniach badanej młodzieży akademickiej nastąpił spadek jakości kontaktów międzyludzkich. W gronie czynników determinujących zadowolenie respondentów z więzi interpersonalnych, można wskazać między innymi: ich znaczenie dla nich, formę ich utrzymywania oraz miejsce pobytu w czasie pandemii. Otrzymane wyniki pozwalają stwierdzić, iż konieczność budowania relacji w sposób zapośredniczony, nie sprzyja ich jakości.
Origins of translation and simulation in terms of theory and practice: Translation of Muhammad Iqbal's Urdu and Persian poetry in Arabic as a model
Authors: Mohd. Shamsuddin Salahuddin , binti Hj. Ahmad Siti Sarah
Published: December 2021

Translation has a great importance in the development of human sciences in every age. First, we examine the theories of writers and critics mentioned in the translation and simulation. Translator must know the function of the symbolic language that differs from the metaphors and similes. Translation is the best way to enrich the languages in which the literatures are formulated, which must be in constant contact with what human thought offers, and the writer or translator must take a position of criticism and scrutiny. The translator must not forget that he does not convey the meanings of words only, but also conveys the cultural spirit and emotional life of the era in which these texts were composed. Finally, this article studies the subject of translating the poetry by the poetry and makes the translation of Muhammad Iqbal's poetry from Urdu and Persian into Arabic as a model for studying the translated works of various Arab poet translators as the theory and application, in order to know the extent of the success of the translators in their works. This is a critical study in which the descriptive analytical method is used, which is useful in studying such expressive arts. In this research, the researchers reached this conclusion that the translation of the poetry by the poetry should not be to show the linguistic and artistic prowess, but rather the language used in translation should be a realistic language studies that there are some souls behind the word that must be realized.

Authors: Deng Ruolan
Published: December 2021

Globally, the influx of Western mass media in non-Western societies has coexisted with the beauty standard of the thin ideal. Therefore, body-image disturbance becomes an emerging issue in Chinese culture as well. Using surveys, this research investigated the perceptual discrepancy between the perceived impact of idealized thin models on self and on others according to the third-person effect theory among mainland Chinese overseas undergraduate female students in Malaysia. It found that respondents perceived that the thin models in TV advertisements exerted a greater impact on others than on themselves. The role of social difference and gender was demonstrated in determining the size of the perceptual gap. This perceptual gap could lead to dieting, excessive exercising, and the likelihood of liposuction undertaking as well as body dissatisfaction. Theoretically, it expands third-person effect theory in body image field in mainland China context. It also gives practical implications to solve body image disturbance among Chinese females.

The culture of time and the horizons of futurity
Authors: Paula Francine Rossone de
Published: December 2021

A inclusão das diferenças culturais nos estudos globais tem assumido principalmente a forma de agendas voltadas para o reconhecimento e a democratização, de um lado, ou a historicização redentora, de outro. O que este artigo argumenta é que uma recuperação geo-histórica da diferença é insuficiente para dar conta da possibilidade de uma trajetória descolonial para a humanidade sem uma compreensão mais profunda dos obstáculos colocados pela atual economia política das representações do “futuro”. Eu exploro a mobilização do futuro como uma forma de desafiar o que chamo de necro-política, que estou definindo como uma gama de práticas mundanas que facilitam a reprodução dos mundos da morte através do apagamento sistemático de corpos de visões "aceitáveis" de o futuro. Explorando Afrofuturismo, Futurismo Indígena e Futurismo Queer, eu examino o que essas manifestações estéticas revelam sobre o real e o possível, e suas capacidades disruptivas para inspirar outras realidades do espaço-tempo.
