Authors: Alipour Faeze , Norouzi Asghar , Hosseini Seyed Hamzeh
Published: April 2024

Context: Utilizing metaphors assists clients in gaining insight and effecting changes in their lives. Given that Rumi predominantly uses metaphors and allegories to convey profound thoughts, we have focused our attention on his works. Objectives: This review aims to evaluate what is known from the research literature about the utilization of Rumi’s metaphors and allegories in the context of psychotherapy. Evidence Acquisition: The literature search was conducted in Scopus, PsychInfo, Proquest, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Cochrane databases in English, and SID and Google Scholar databases in Persian (until May 31, 2022). To identify relevant literature, the searched terms included Persian and English key terms: “Rumi,” “Psychology,” and “Psychotherapy.” The studies included in our review were those published in either English or Persian and specifically focused on therapeutic approaches. We excluded studies that had a religious, mystical, philosophical, or literary view of Rumi's thoughts. Results: Overall, 24 studies were included in this scoping review. Among the studies, Rumi's metaphors and allegories have been employed more in cognitive, mindfulness-based, and existential-humanistic approaches (29%, 29%, and 25%, respectively). Additionally, three studies developed an interventional package based on Rumi’s thoughts. We found that the number of studies using Rumi's ideas in psychotherapy approaches has been growing increasingly in recent years, with 10 of 24 studies published in 2020 and 2021. Conclusions: Although the small number of identified articles makes definitive conclusions challenging, they reveal that Rumi's metaphors and allegories have the potential to enhance clients' insight within diverse therapeutic approaches. It is suggested that the metaphors and allegories in Rumi's thoughts can be effectively utilized across a wide spectrum of cultural contexts.
The Effect of Melatonin on the Expression of H19, MALAT, HOTAIR, THRIL, and NOS Activity in Leishmania major-Infected Macrophages
Authors: Karami Saina , Arjmand Reza , Saki Jasem , Dayer Dian , Jelowdar Ali
Published: April 2024

Background: Leishmania spp. protozoa cause leishmaniasis by infecting macrophages. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), such as H19, Metastasis Associated Lung Adenocarcinoma Transcript 1 (MALAT), HOX Antisense Intergenic RNA (HOTAIR), and TNF and HNRNPL Related Immuno-regulatory lncRNA (THRIL), play a role in macrophage polarization and gene regulation. Additionally, leukocytes can synthesize and respond to melatonin, yet the regulatory role of melatonin in Leishmania major-infected macrophages is not well understood. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of melatonin on the expression of lncRNAs like H19, MALAT, HOTAIR, and THRIL, as well as on nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in L. major-infected macrophages. Methods: Leishmania major promastigotes and U937 cell lines were cultured. Macrophages were infected with the promastigotes and subsequently treated with melatonin at concentrations of 3, 10, 30, and 100 nM for durations of 4, 24, and 48 hours. The expression levels of the lncRNAs and NOS activity were measured using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (q-PCR) and spectrophotometry, respectively. Results: Melatonin treatment (100 nM) significantly increased the expression of H19 compared to the control after 48 hours (P = 0.002). There was also a significant upregulation of MALAT and HOTAIR in macrophages treated with 3 nM melatonin compared to controls after 48 hours (P = 0.02 and P = 0.003, respectively). Additionally, THRIL expression significantly increased in the melatonin group (10 nM) compared to the control after 4 hours of treatment (P = 0.003). An increase in NOS activity was observed in the melatonin group (100 nM) compared to the control at 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours (P = 0.034, P = 0.011, and P = 0.014, respectively). Conclusions: The findings suggest that melatonin may enhance the expression of H19, THRIL, MALAT, and HOTAIR, as well as NOS activity in macrophages infected with L. major. The upregulation of these lncRNAs by melatonin could potentially improve the macrophages' ability to combat L. major infection.

Published: April 2024

Background: Many international governing bodies recommend against heart transplantation in patients with severe cognitive-behavioral disabilities, however no clear criteria are offered to define severity. Patients with neurodevelopmental disorders may face systematic discrimination when being evaluated for transplant. We set out to investigate whether children with neurodevelopmental disorders that undergo heart transplantation have poorer in-hospital outcomes compared to neurotypical children. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample database was conducted to identify pediatric patients with neurodevelopmental disorders who underwent heart transplantation from 2011–2019. Baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes between patients were compared. Binary logistic regression was used to investigate the association between the documented presence of a neurodevelopmental disorder and in-hospital outcomes in children undergoing heart transplantation. Results: We identified a weighted sample of 3770 pediatric cardiac transplant patients, of whom 245 (6.5%) had a documented diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorder. There was no significant difference in the odds of major adverse cardiovascular events (all-cause mortality, stroke complications or myocardial infarction), surgical complications, infection, venous thromboembolic events, delirium/restraint use, or cardiac dysrhythmia. Patients with neurodevelopmental disorders had lower overall length of stay (44.0 days interquartile range (IQR): 16.0–90.0 vs. 57.08 days IQR: 22.0–112.0, p < 0.050), and cost of stay ($956,031 IQR: 548,559.0–1,801,412.0 vs. $1,074,793 IQR: 599,089.8–2,129,086.0, p < 0.050). Patients with neurodevelopmental disorders had significantly lower odds of acute transplant complications (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.39, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.21–0.74, p < 0.050) vascular complications (aOR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.19–0.66, p < 0.050) and acute kidney injury (AKI) (aOR: 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.83, p < 0.050). Conclusions: These data suggest that patients with neurodevelopmental disorders have overall similar if not potentially improved post-transplant outcomes in the acute setting compared to neurotypical patients, possibly secondary to selection bias in the patient selection process.

This research aims to determine the conditions of educational and pedagogical reform. The methodology used is qualitative. Researchers used a qualitative approach, including historical source analysis instruments, content analysis, participant and non-participant observation, and interviews. The research reveals each center's uniqueness and educational identity, examining its internal organization, approach, relationship with the environment, participation models, and other aspects. This shows that there is room for various educational strategies and models that can improve the quality of learning. Daily educational activities reveal elements of traditional pedagogical culture, including textbooks as the primary work material, minimal parental participation, and classes dominated by conventional pedagogical relationship methods. On the other hand, these schools exhibit extraordinary dynamism and unlimited pluralism in their pedagogical reforms. The various networks, teacher collectives, and other initiatives reflect this, striving to renew and reaffirm the approaches of the new school movement while also demonstrating the collective crystallization of the claims that form the foundation of the critical subject. Finally, national and international reports have shown the importance of carefully reflecting on the pedagogical conclusions drawn in education. These conclusions can provide valuable insight into the direction and efforts that should be made to improve the education system as a whole.

Authors: Rodríguez-Donaire Alba , Luna Pablo , Pérez-González Juan-Carlos , Cejudo Javier
Published: April 2024

Background: The Teacher Emotion Inventory (TEI) scale is an instrument that evaluates discrete emotions experienced by teachers in the teaching-learning process. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the brief Spanish version of the Teacher Emotion Inventory scale (TEI-BSV) using a sample of 567 teachers (65.5% women), aged between 25 and 65 years (M = 46.04; SD = 9.09). Methods: After adaptation through back-translation, the teachers completed a battery of tests included in the TEI-BSV: an emotional intelligence questionnaire, two subjective well-being scales, a burnout scale and a scale on engagement. Results: The data revealed adequate internal consistency of the TEI-BSV subscales, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses provided evidence that the TEI-BSV has a four-factor structure with good adjustment, as opposed to the original five-factor structure proposed. There was evidence of convergent validity of the TEI-BSV, as well as criterion and incremental validity. Conclusions: The TEI-BSV could be a useful instrument for the ecological assessment of teachers' discrete emotions in the context of their workplace.

Conclusiones: el TEI-BSV podría ser una herramienta útil para la evaluación ecológica de las emociones discretas del profesorado en su contexto laboral.
Approaches to Cost-Benefit Analysis of New Nuclear Power Projects
Authors:   International Atomic Energy Agency
Published: April 2024

Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is an economic appraisal tool which can be used to inform an investment decision, for instance, the construction of a nuclear power plant. In a CBA, the costs and benefits are accounted for as fully as possible, allowing estimation of the net economic benefit associated with the project relative to a without-the-project scenario, or an alternative investment proposal. This publication suggests an approach for conducting a CBA for a nuclear newbuild project as part of a feasibility study. It presents a CBA framework which is built around four key steps to characterize a project: the project’s objectives, alternatives to the project, and the broad context; a financial analysis, including estimates of costs and profitability; an economic analysis, taking a broader view to include additional benefits and costs to society; and a sensitivity and risk analysis to assign a confidence level to key financial and economic indicators and identify the circumstances in which the project will generate value. The publication includes a case study to illustrate the framework’s application and describes, for example, the methodology used for valuing environmental benefits, such as emissions and pollution reduction. The publication is aimed at all stakeholders involved in the planning and decision-making on a nuclear new build project.

Finnish literary translators' use of translation technology and tools: processes, profiles, and purposes
Authors: Ruokonen Minna , Salmi Leena
Published: April 2024

While Translation Studies has started investigating the potential of translation technology in literary translation, the research has largely focused on optimizing product quality and bypassed the experiences of literary translators. This study contributes to filling that gap by means of a survey (n=72) and interviews (n=7) among literary translators with Finnish as a working language. Combining quantitative and qualitative analysis, we investigate what tools are used by literary translators, at what stages of the translation process, and for what purposes, and what factors are linked to technology use. We identify three types of translation processes (“from scratch”, “TM use”, and “MT post-editing”) with some individual and source-text-specific variation, and observe that translation technology use is more likely for translators who also use it for non-literary translation. The results also draw attention to literary translators’ different processes and the variety of purposes for which the different tools are used. The results have implications for publishers’ workflows, usability, and literary translators’ agency and profession.
Exploring translation students' feedback literacy
Authors: Ruokonen Minna
Published: April 2024

Feedback literacy, or the ‘ability to understand, utilise and benefit from feedback processes’ (Molloy et al. 2020, 528) is arguably crucial for developing into an expert professional translator. Yet translation-pedagogical research is only beginning to address students’ engagement with feedback. This discussion article introduces the concept of feedback literacy and reports on a teaching experiment where the concept was applied on a course on authorised translation for MA students (n=8). The aim is to explore 1) whether the concept of feedback literacy can be useful in translation teaching and 2) how translation students who have not been systematically instructed in feedback literacy perceive feedback use and whether there are indications of feedback literacy in their reflections. The results suggest that while the students seem to have developed some aspects of feedback literacy without systematic instruction in it, it could be fostered further by integrating the concepts of feedback and feedback literacy into translation courses. At the same time, the current models of feedback literacy appear partly unnecessarily complex for pedagogical purposes and partly bypass some important questions, so further investigation of how to develop and apply them is needed.

A escolha de procedimentos cirúrgicos como opção paliativa no tratamento do câncer incita diversas discussões, levando em conta os riscos dos procedimentos e os possíveis benefícios, considerando o prognóstico reservado desses pacientes, o que leva a questionar se realmente essa abordagem vale a pena. Portanto, este trabalho possui por objetivo realizar uma revisão literária para analisar os benefícios, riscos e aspectos éticos relacionados à cirurgia oncológica em pacientes com câncer sob cuidados paliativos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, com busca na literatura conduzida através das bases de dados da PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), utilizando-se dos seguintes descritores: “Cirurgia Oncológica” e “Cuidados Paliativos”, em conjunto com operador booleano “AND”, sendo buscados, de acordo com as ferramentas de filtro de pesquisa de cada base de dados, artigos publicados nos últimos 5 anos, em português, inglês ou espanhol. Ao final da pesquisa, 12 artigos foram selecionados para comporem o corpo deste trabalho. Enquanto diversos estudos ressaltam os benefícios potenciais das diversas modalidades de cirurgia oncológica, tais como melhoria da qualidade de vida, controle sintomático e, em alguns casos, prolongamento da sobrevida, é imperativo reconhecer os riscos inerentes a procedimentos cirúrgicos, especialmente em pacientes frágeis, como complicações pós-operatórias e aumento das taxas de morbimortalidade. Os estudos destacam que a ponderação entre benefícios e riscos deve ser individualizada, considerando a heterogeneidade dos casos, comorbidades, e a idade avançada dos pacientes, bem como a necessidade de uma tomada de decisão compartilhada, envolvendo pacientes, familiares e equipes médicas para garantir uma abordagem que respeite os princípios éticos fundamentais da prática médica. Mais estudos são necessários na busca por intervenções cirúrgicas menos invasivas que proporcionem ganhos terapêuticos tangíveis, ao mesmo tempo em que minimizam os riscos e respeitam os desejos do paciente.

Authors: Kapustin Anatoliy
Published: April 2024

The conceptual concept and types of interaction of international legal regulators on the prevention and liquidation of emergency and crisis situations are formulated The role of generally recognized principles of international law in ensuring international cooperation in the prevention of emergencies and crisis situations has been established. International cooperation in this area is based on and implemented through universal, regional international legal mechanisms, as well as bilateral treaties. The role of the United Nations in the normative, programmatic and expert support of cooperation between states on disaster risk reduction, as well as universal international organizations and conferences in the development of international legal regulators for countering emergency and crisis situations is considered. The analysis of the activities of international regional organizations on the international legal provision of emergency prevention, including in the arctic region, is carried out. In conclusion, it is concluded that there is an insufficient level of coherence and integrity of the international legal regulation of the prevention and liquidation of emergency and crisis situations.

procedimiento figurativo, recurso que introduce al estudiante en la solución de la forma, analizado desde los resultados académicos
Authors: Rothschuh Dávila Reynalicia
Published: April 2024

Este ensayo expone y sistematiza la experiencia de aplicación didáctica de los procedimientos figurativos como recursos de estimulación en la exploración de la configuración tridimensional del objeto arquitectónico (OA). Este proceso se da durante la fase de prefiguración del método de diseño arquitectónico. Marín (1989) en su tesis monográfica explica que es en los procedimientos donde el método se concretiza y que al aplicarlos es cuando converge la forma y el contenido; dejando claro, además, la diferencia entre la primera propuesta configurativa, como producto de la aplicación de procedimientos figurativos y, la configuración definitiva, como resultado del método. Esto implica que existen otros recursos metódicos que llevan a la perfección de la primera propuesta hasta alcanzar al objeto arquitectónico final. Los procedimientos figurativos son entonces la pauta en la búsqueda de la configuración tridimensional del objeto arquitectónico.El ensayo detalla y explica la estructura del ejercicio de diseño; haciendo énfasis en el momento metodológico donde el estudiante determina el procedimiento figurativo.Los resultados demuestran como este recurso facilita al estudiante la generación de una solución de diseño a nivel abstracto que responde a un carácter o a una función; reconociendo que, utilizando diferentes procedimientos o combinándolos, se es capaz de generar más de una solución de diseño, la cual, en este nivel, resuelve desde lo formal, el contenido o carácter del objeto arquitectónico, garantizando la belleza del mismo. Los resultados analizados corresponden a los modelos arquitectónicos abstractos bi y tridimensionales presentados por estudiantes de arquitectura en su etapa inicial de aprendizaje; abordando, específicamente, a los primeros seis lugares premiados en el concurso de mejores proyectos de diseño arquitectónico y de urbanismo que se llevó a cabo al cierre del primer semestre del 2023 en la Universidad Americana, UAM Managua, Nicaragua.

Multiple sclerosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that affects mainly young adults. Patients with onset after the age of 50 years are defined as late-onset MS (LOMS), and the others with onset after 60 years are termed very late-onset MS (VLOMS). Due to the rarity, and variations in clinical presentation, coupled with the lack of clinical trials for disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), diagnosis and treatment are challenging in these groups. In our clinical case, we describe a patient diagnosed with VLOMS at the Neurology Department of Military Hospital 175.

In the Caucasus, one of the largest collections of Acheulean bifaces is known from the Satani-Dar locality in Armenia. Since the mid-20th century, bifaces from this site have been described using both traditional typological methods and a technological chaîne opératoire approach characteristics. In this paper, we report results of a morpho-technological analysis of biface reduction undertaken by L. Golovanova, verifying significance of variability in the morphometric datа using modern statistical methods. The analysis indicates that in the Satani-Dar site there are three biface groups, differentiated on the basis of morphological features. A comparison of the biface groups using statistical tests and principal component analysis confirms this apparent division. Our study indicates that these biface groups represent distinct tool models. The results suggest that a morphological variability is mainly related to the technological sequence applied to produce tools on different blanks. We discuss significance of these results for modern research of the Late Acheulean in the Caucasus.

At the current stage of development of information technologies, one of the main tasks of any trade enterprise is to gain new customers, create recognition of brands and trademarks to ensure profitability of business. The using of Internet technologies is relevant when automating tasks and will be requested from post-employees. This results in the acquisition of new clients, as well as a reduction in the cost of recruiting new customers. The requirements for software development were clearly formulated on the basis of the studies of e-commerce processes. This will allow to automate the receipt of orders from clients and increase the efficiency of customer service. Based on the analysis of existing websites, the main functional parts that should be inherent in any online auto parts store are highlighted: a multi-level hierarchy of categories, detailed product characteristics and search by various properties of auto parts. In the course of software development, the need to create an online store using the PHP language, the MySQL DBMS, and the Yii framework was substantiated. A database was designed to solve the problem of increasing trade efficiency using Web technologies. The web site of the online auto parts store was created to ensure electronic trade at enterprises and increase the efficiency of product sales. The created Web site is part of the corporate system of the trading company, facilitates the procedure of placing orders and allows you to obtain an additional sales channel. One of the main functions that the user can perform with the help of the Web site is: viewing the product catalog by categories, groups and subgroups, which greatly facilitates the search for the necessary product. An effective filtering system has been developed for searching for auto parts based on various features. The integration of the website with the enterprise's corporate system has been developed. For the corporate information system, a number of processes and reports were developed for the automatic export of products to the site. At the same time, the export of products is organized in the form of a queue and is uploaded to the site in portions after a certain time interval. At the same time, new products or changed by the user in the system enter the queue.

The effectiveness of coke functions in the blast furnace process largely depends on its reactivity. The reactivity of coke affects the course of blast furnace smelting, especially the profile of temperature distribution and gas flows in the furnace, and the degree of gas utilization and the specific consumption of reducing agent. It is shown that the reactivity of coke depends not only on its ash content, but also on its qualitative characteristics, that is, on the total content of oxides of various types, which affect the rate of reaction of carbon with carbon dioxide. The basic equations for calculating the ash basicity index of the batch are given, which are used to quantitatively assess the influence of ash components on the thermochemical properties of coke. It has been established that by calculating the basicity index, it is possible to provide a reasonable comparative assessment and characterize the technological value of coal concentrates and batches, as well as to quickly adjust the composition of production batches. Forecasting the quality of coke based on the properties and composition of coal batches is important for the long-term planning of supplying coke plants with coal for coking and for optimizing the composition of coal batches in the production process. The various mathematical models for predicting reactivity (CRI) and coke post-reaction strength (CSR), including using the genetic characteristics of coal, the chemical composition of their mineral substance was analyzed in the article. An equation is proposed for calculating the predictive indicators of CSR and CRI based on the basicity index of the batch ash for the raw material conditions of coke plant "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih". The dependences of the CSR and CRI indicators of coke on the ash basicity index Iо of the batch and on the ash basicity index of the Иo batch were constructed, taking into account the ash content and yield of volatile substances of the batch. The use of the proposed equations will allow to optimize the composition of the production coal batch and achieve an increase in the quality of coke according to the post-reaction strength (CSR) indicator by 3-3.5%.
Peran Jamaah Masjid Kemayoran Surabaya Dalam Peningkatan Infrastruktur dan Pengelolaan Tanah Wakaf, 1950an-1990an

This article discusses the role of the Surabaya Kemayoran Mosque congregation in improving the infrastructure and management of their waqf land. This research uses historical research methods which consist of finding and gathering sources, verification, aufassung, and darstellung. The origins of this mosque came from the results of the compensation given by the Dutch East Indies Government to Muslims because they wanted to demolish the mosque in Surapringgo. However, the grant of land does not have a documents, but only inscription. This mosque then underwent several changes and infrastructure improvements. In addition, the Kemayoran mosque also has a lot of waqf land originating from worshipers. Most of the waqf land is used by residents to be used as residences or businesses with rental status. The rent from the land is used again for the needs of the mosque and funds for improvements. However, because there was no legal document on which to base it, the issue then sparked several problems related to land reform in the 1970s. The worshipers of the mosque took various ways to convince the tenants that there is no connection between waqf land and land reform. Even though many methods have been taken, the tenants are ultimately unwilling to pay any more rental fees, even though the rights to the land and activities on it are still under the auspices of the Kemayoran Mosque.

The Civil Construction industry is one of the largest generators of waste, which when improperly disposed of, lead to irreversible environmental implications. Effective management of these materials can recycle about 90% of the waste, minimizing environmental impacts. In this sense, the research aimed to provide an overview of the implementation of reverse logistics in Construction and Demolition Waste, highlighting the main gaps in the research scenario. For the selection of the analyzed articles, a string was defined and searched in the Web of Science journal database. The search resulted in 45 articles from 20 journals, which were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. The results revealed a significant concentration of studies in journals such as "Journal of Cleaner Production", "Waste Management & Research" and "Sustainability", and highlighted the most relevant keywords, such as "reverse logistics", "construction and demolition waste" and "waste management". However, emerging research trends were evidenced, such as the challenges of implementing reverse logistics in C&D waste and the importance of recycling for circular economy and environmental sustainability. The conclusions emphasize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in C&D waste management, highlighting challenges from the construction process to waste recycling and recovery. Additionally, the need for models and systems to improve performance in reverse logistics implementation is emphasized. Finally, the importance of exploring advanced technologies and public-private partnerships to promote the effectiveness of reverse logistics in C&D waste is emphasized.
