Published: September 2024

Universal Design (UD) involves surpassing basic standards and legal requirements to create buildings that are accessible and usable by people of all abilities. The goal of universal design and inclusion strategy is to accommodate as many individuals as possible, irrespective of their age, gender, physical characteristics, cultural background, talents, or disabilities. This study aimed to conduct an empirical review of existing literature about Universal Design in the built environment. The methodology employed for this study was a systematic literature review. A systematic literature review (SLR) involves the identification, selection, and critical evaluation of research to address a clearly defined question. Seven articles were reviewed and analysed in a tabular form. This review of literature on universal design in the built environment revealed widespread deficiencies in accessibility measures. While awareness exists, implementation is inconsistent. Improving compliance requires rigorous enforcement of regulations, integrating Universal Design into architectural education, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Ongoing research and initiatives are essential to create truly accessible and inclusive environments for all.

Authors: Otasowie Ivie Ibuemi , Pasupuleti Vikram , Adeoye Adeleke A.
Published: September 2024

Greenhouse gas emissions pose serious challenges to the environment alongside humans and the non-humans, and limit the achievable extent of environmental sustainability. Previous studies are largely preoccupied with carbon emissions, leaving out the emission extent and effects of methane, propane, butane and ethane. Therefore, this study explores greenhouse gas emissions as challenges to environmental sustainability and proposes the judicious leveraging of AI technologies for lasting solutions to the challenges. It draws insights from Harold-Domar’s Model of Economic Growth and Kuznets’ Environmental Kuznets Curve theory. They both theorize and relate the effects of environmental hazards to economic growth and progress of society. The study relies on secondary data, which are subjected to a systematic review, and thematic and content analyses. The analysis shows a gap in literature on greenhouse gas emissions, and demonstrates that the adverse effects of gas emissions on environment and environmental sustainability can be mitigated significantly by leveraging AI technologies for lasting solutions. The study concludes that AI technologies are indeed capable of proffering lasting solutions to greenhouse gas emissions and other challenges of environmental sustainability. It calls on stakeholders to rise to the challenges and ensure maximal leveraging of AI technologies for lasting solutions to the challenges.
Performative Dimensions of Gospel Music Artistry in Nigeria
Authors: Ossaiga Udoka Peace
Published: September 2024

While in America, gospel music is a form of music that is deemed an offshoot of African spirituals, in Nigeria, gospel music evolved from the evangelistic activities of Christians who used the music in their outreaches. From being an evangelistic music, gospel music has become the mainstay of church music in many churches in Nigeria; thus, there is an increasing patronage of gospel music artists in Nigeria. This has led to the formation of gospel music bands by many practitioners whose performances are here referred to as gospel music artistry. In addition to singing, the gospel musicians have incorporated additional sonic and extra-sonic nuances into their church musicianship; however, how gospel music is performed in the context of church music has not engrossed adequate scholarly discourse. This has left performance practices of gospel music as a form of church music out of the grasp of standard gospel music literature, especially in Nigeria. This article engages non-participant observation and interview of select gospel music artists to discuss the performative dimensions of gospel music artistry in Nigeria and their implications for church music directing. Findings indicate that gospel music artistry in the context of church music in Nigeria includes prayers, prophesy, preaching, singing, choreography, sound engineering, and dancing. The findings underscore the importance of knowledge of Christian worship, preaching, prophecy, choreography; and sound engineering to gospel music directing. It is recommended that music directors should be knowledgeable in the reported dimensions for effective church music directing.

Fractional Derivative Models for Energy Levels and Molar Entropy of Diatomic Molecules
Authors: Ahmed Abubakar , Eyube E. S. , Mohammed B. D. , Ayuba J. B. , Sabo B.
Published: September 2024

This study develops new analytical equations for the energy levels and molar entropy of substances by solving the Schrödinger equation with the Pöschl-Teller potential. While thermodynamics is crucial in fields like agriculture, drug design, and medical research, existing models often use spectroscopic constants but overlook fractional parameters, which limits their accuracy for gaseous diatomic molecules. By integrating fractional parameters alongside spectroscopic constants, this study addresses this limitation and improves precision. The new equations are applied to analyze pure substances, including Br2 (X 1∑g+), Cl2 (X 1∑g+), CO (X 1∑+), and Na2 (X 1∑g+). The mean percentage absolute deviation (MPAD) of the energy levels obtained is 1.4797%, 0.9043%, 0.0898%, and 1.1352%, respectively, compared to Rydberg-Klein-Rees data. For molar entropy, the MPAD values are 0.1381%, 0.1360%, 0.1322%, and 0.6437% relative to data from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) database. These results indicate a significant improvement in accuracy over existing models and are consistent with the literature on gaseous molecules.

Totalidade e internacionalismo em León Trotsky
Authors: Demier Felipe
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é, de forma breve, discutir a perspectiva internacionalista de Trotsky, mais precisamente no que tange à sua dimensão teórico-interpretativa. Concebendo o capitalismo como uma totalidade histórica, Trotsky, em suas análises sobre diversas formações sociais, em especial aquelas consideradas atrasadas, procurou compreender os nexos dialéticos entre seus aspectos constituintes "internos" e "externos". A combinação destes aspectos nas formações sociais atrasadas – combinação decorrente da integração das mesmas ao sistema internacional – acabava por condicionar o caráter da revolução a ser realizado nelas. Justamente por serem fragmentos integrados dialeticamente em um todo (o capitalismo mundial), as regiões "coloniais" e "semicoloniais" não poderiam desenvolver a sua história em separado, e, portanto, não lhes seria possível superar seu atraso passando-se a um "estágio" superior ainda dentro dos marcos do capitalismo.
A atualidade de Marx em seus 200 anos
Authors: Mattos Marcelo Badaró
Published: September 2024

200 anos depois de seu nascimento, é difícil escolher apenas um aspecto do pensamento de Karl Marx para justificar sua atualidade.1 Afinal, vivemos em tempos nos quais a humanidade se vê cada vez mais dominada pela lógica destrutiva das mercadorias; com a capacidade produtiva mundial dando saltos sucessivos, mas as desigualdades sociais chegaram a um ponto tal que apenas oito capitalistas se apropriam de tanta riqueza produzida por homens e mulheres quanto metade da população mundial – e as coisas só pioram, porque de toda a riqueza gerada no mundo em 2017, 82% ficaram concentrados nas mãos do 1% mais rico

1 Este texto foi formulado originalmente para a conferência de abertura do II Encontro Nacional do Grupo de Trabalho História e Marxismo da ANPUH, que teve lugar na Universidade Federal de Alagoas, em maio de 2018. Agradeço aos organizadores pelo convite e aos participantes pelo instigante debate durante todo o evento.

Authors: Ferreira Vinícius Bacelar , de Mendonça Karla Luiza Vargas
Published: September 2024

Knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure that has been performed frequently, mainly because of the population's longevity and obesity rates. Pre- and post-operative preparation is of paramount importance for the patient's recovery and well-being after invasive surgery. The use of neuromuscular stimulation (ENM) has emerged as a treatment option to recover muscle tone, especially in the quadriceps, and increase range of movement. However, the effectiveness of this treatment, whether alone or in conjunction with conventional modalities, such as physiotherapy, has not yet been proven. Therefore, the objective of this work is to verify the feasibility, and results obtained from this treatment based on studies already carried out on this topic. This is a systematic review that followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses- PRISMA using as a basis the articles of randomized clinical cases found in PubMED, EMBASE and COCHCRANE. a total of 197 articles were found among the databases, of which 66 were duplicates, that is, they were present on more than one platform, so that the total without duplicates is 131, after preliminary reading by title and abstract, they were eliminated 113 articles.  In the analysis of the 16 articles included, a discrepancy was observed between the studies, although positive results were evidenced, in more robust studies, the ENM technique did not show better results than traditional treatment.
PERSISTENCE OF PICTORIAL MEMORY: PHOTO ARCHIVES OF ARTISTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Authors:   Centar za muzeologiju i heritologiju Filozofski fakultet Univerzitet u Beogradu Beograd, Srbija, Jokanović Milena
Published: September 2024

Тhis paper analyzes the phenomenon of artists’ photo archives in the modern age of digital photography and new media. The last two decades have seen the rise of a special type of artist who collects old, analog photographs and creates particular archives. Like modern walkers, strolling through the city, but also through flea markets and garbage piles, where they collect various objects, these artists collect disposed old photographs, witnesses of personal memories left to oblivion. The very aesthetics of selected images, most often in black and white, developed on photo paper or cardboard with already eroded edges revealing layers of dust, together with the impulse to store and archive, suggest the artist’s desire to resist technological development and inevitable progress. By intervening in their photo archives, artists give new meanings to collected images. These witnesses of personal memories, having lost their primary owners, become the basis for further interpretations, recontextualization and recategorization. However, when appropriating segments of created archives in their works, artists often express themselves through new media, thus raising questions about the relationship between the culture of memory that analog photography of the mid-twentieth century depicts and today’s digital spaces of art and memory, and transmedia perception of the observer. By analyzing artists’ statements about the need to create collections of old photographs and examples of their interpretation in art, we examine the persistence of the medium of analog photography, i.e. the ability of these images of the past to endure and continue their lives in the age of digital transformation. Therefore, we rely on the history of photography and the modern and contemporary art history and theory in the context of artistic collecting practices, and the (new) media theory on the one hand, and contributions in the field of culture of memory and collections’ history, on the other. The analysis of the selected case, the photo archive of the artist Vladimir Perić, with whom a detailed interview has been conducted for the purposes of this research, illustrates the above theoretical premises.

"Body Shaming" : Soft Offence, Softer Target and Softest Law
Authors: Chakraborty Gangotri
Published: September 2024

The transition from childhood to adulthood is marked by dramatic physical, mental, sexual, psychological and social developmental changes. These tumultuous years can have long term consequences for the individual, especially when it comes to mental health.  Body shaming, weight shaming or appearance-based harassment can be described as the act of mocking or humiliating someone based on their physical appearance. It often leads to low self-esteem, low body dissatisfaction, and depressive symptoms, which is consistent with the growing body of work emphasizing the harmful role of appearance-based harassment among youth. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of body shaming among school-going adolescents and to assess the distribution and relationship of body shaming with various factors.

Method: Cases of amusement park injuries presented to the Forensic Medicine Department of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Medicine(Turkey) between 2014-2023 were retrospectively evaluated. Age, gender, injury patterns, and the content of forensic reports of the cases were assessed.
Results: Over the 10-year period, 12 cases of amusement park injuries were reported to our department. Eight cases were male and four were female, with the youngest case being 13 and the oldest 23 years old. Nine cases involved falls and dragging, two involved falls and being trapped under objects, and one involved being crushed. Six cases sustained injuries that could be managed with simple medical intervention, six required more extensive medical care, and one was life-threatening.
Conclusion: Amusement park injuries are forensic cases. There is confusion regarding responsibility and legislation. Legal regulations and more effective inspections are needed for the legal process in injury cases. It is essential for physicians in emergency departments to recognize that amusement park injuries are forensic cases and report them accordingly.

Published: September 2024

Despite being written in 1941–1942, Long Day’s Journey into Night wasn’t released until 1956, two years after the author’s death. The Tyrone family is at the centre of the narrative, advancing the plot and creating further avenues for the characters to develop. The article explores the various aspects of the play that indicate that the Tyrones are a dysfunctional family. The critical  analysis of the play and its various themes conclude that Tyrone in “Long Day’s Journey into Night” displays many characteristics of a dysfunctional family while certain behavioural patterns of each one of the family are enough to show that the family is dysfunctional. The article presents a critical analysis of Eugene O’Neill’s Long Day’s Journey into Night. Various modes of reading were employed, including thematic analysis, close reading of the text, and a deconstructive reading of the play. These methods support the exploration of how the Tyrones are depicted as a dysfunctional family. James and Mary’s children, Edmund and Jamie, are central to the drama. Edmund is suffering from tuberculosis, while Mary struggles with a morphine addiction. The play is set at the Tyrones' Monte Cristo Cottage in seaside Connecticut, on a single day in August 1912, from roughly 8:30 a.m. until 12:00 a.m. The Tyrones are painted in a highly negative light as a dysfunctional family, as the parents and sons accuse, lash out, and harbor grudges against one another and in various situations. They possess traits that encourage pitiful and futile endeavours as well as strong desires for their circumstances to improve.

The rapid development of digital technologies has significantly impacted governance structures globally, with e-governance emerging as a crucial tool for enhancing governmental efficiency, transparency, and public participation. This study explores the role of e-governance in shaping political ideologies within online media in Indonesia, focusing on the influence of social media platforms on political engagement and public discourse. Despite Indonesia's advancements in e-governance, as evidenced by its rising E-Government Development Index (EGDI) and E-Participation Index scores, challenges such as disinformation, digital divides, and the polarization of online content persist. This paper used a literature review methodology to analyze the intersection of e-governance and online media, examining both the opportunities and obstacles faced by Indonesia in providing social media for political engagement. The findings highlight the dual nature of social media, which can both facilitate political participation and exacerbate political distrust. The study concludes that while e-governance in Indonesia has made significant strides, addressing the challenges of digital literacy, content regulation, and inclusive access is essential for fully realizing the potential of digital platforms to enhance political participation and shape a more democratic society.

The adoption of halal practices in the food and beverage industry is crucial for ensuring compliance with Islamic principles and meeting the growing demand for halal products. This qualitative study explores the perspectives of food and beverage producers and halal authorities on the implementation of halal practices in supply chain management. Focus group discussions were conducted with nine industry participants under the auspices of the Indonesian Institute for the Study of Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics (LPPOM). The discussions aimed to identify behaviors and actions in adopting halal practices based on personal perceptions. The focus group discussions were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed to identify patterns and classify ideas into categories. The findings reveal nine key indicators of halal practice adoption behavior, including purchasing halal raw materials, managing warehouse storage areas, maintaining personal hygiene, managing the cleanliness of facilities and equipment, controlling the sourcing of halal materials, controlling the production process, disseminating halal information, conducting internal audits, and managing financial transactions. The study highlights the importance of these practices in preventing contamination, ensuring strict production processes, promoting effective communication, and maintaining financial transparency. The insights gained from this exploratory research contribute to a deeper understanding of halal practice adoption behavior and support the development of conceptual models for halal supply chain management in the food and beverage industry.

Published: September 2024

Indonesia is highly susceptible to natural disasters, posing significant risks to its population, particularly early childhood. Effective disaster mitigation strategies tailored for young children are crucial to enhance their safety and resilience. This study systematically reviews the literature on disaster mitigation practices and policies for early childhood in Indonesia. This review aims to synthesize the current state of research on disaster mitigation for early childhood in Indonesia, identify gaps in the literature, and provide recommendations for future research and policy development. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, were searched for peer-reviewed articles published between 2011 and 2024. Keywords used in the search included "mitigation," "early childhood," "disaster mitigation," and "early childhood disasters." Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, focusing on those that addressed disaster preparedness, training, community, and technology in early childhood contexts within Indonesia. The review identified 107 relevant studies. Key findings highlight that while several programs and initiatives exist, there is a lack of cohesive and comprehensive disaster mitigation strategies specifically designed for early childhood. Most studies emphasize the importance of integrating disaster education into early childhood curricula, training educators, and involving parents and communities in disaster preparedness. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating comprehensive, culturally sensitive disaster mitigation strategies for young children. Policymakers and practitioners must collaborate to create robust frameworks that ensure the safety and well-being of early childhood during disasters.
