Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a predictor of progression in patients with early-stage cervical cancer
Authors: Akyıldız Arif , Ismayilov Rashad , Arık Zafer
Published: September 2024

Aims: The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has shown promise as a prognostic marker in various cancers, but its role in early-stage cervical cancer is not well defined. This study evaluates the association between pre-treatment NLR and progression risk in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
Methods: This retrospective study included 220 patients with stage I and II cervical cancer treated from 2010 to 2024. Patients with prior treatment, infection at diagnosis, or hematological diseases were excluded. Pre-treatment NLR was calculated from blood counts taken within a week before treatment. Primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS). Cox regression analyses identified prognostic factors.
Results: The median follow-up was 46 months (range, 1-120). Disease progression occurred in 17.3% of patients, and 15% died. The 5-year overall survival and PFS rates were 84.8% (95% CI: 79.3-90.3) and 77.7% (95% CI: 71.4-84), respectively. Univariate analysis identified non-squamous cell carcinoma (non-SCC) histology, tumor size >4 cm, and elevated NLR as significant factors affecting PFS. Multivariate analysis confirmed non-SCC histology (HR: 3.2, p=0.002), tumor size >4 cm (HR: 2.3, p=0.007), and elevated NLR (HR: 1.1, p=0.041) as independent PFS risk factors. Higher NLR correlated with larger tumor size.
Conclusions: Elevated pre-treatment NLR independently predicts disease progression in early-stage cervical cancer. Incorporating NLR into risk stratification could enhance prognostic assessments and guide personalized treatments. Larger prospective studies are needed for validation.
Pengaruh Harga dan Promosi Live Straeming Penjualan Terhadap Perilaku Impulse Buying Pada Pembelian Produk di TikTok Shop
Authors: Dewi Ida Ayu Kusuma , Kusuma Putu Sri Arta Jaya
Published: September 2024

Online shopping platforms in Indonesia continue to develop with the help of many digital consumers. This requires innovation and good marketing strategies, especially in price and promotion. This research aims to review the influence of price and promotion variables on purchase intention on one of the digital platforms (TikTok Shop). Quantitative methods are used in this study, including data collection techniques, such as distributing questionnaires to 100 respondents. The data collected were then analyzed through multiple linear regression. This research proves that price has a positive but insignificant effect on the impulse buying behavior of TikTok Shop consumers. This means that even though the price is relatively cheap, TikTok Shop consumers are not interested in buying the product. Then, in the second hypothesis, the results showed that live-streaming promotions affect consumer impulse-buying behavior because impulse-buying behavior is driven by the desire to buy a product after the product is marketed through live-streaming. Therefore, live streaming affects impulse buying.

Results: The results showed that the combined effect size of the random effects model was 0.373. Conclusions: The statistically significant level, indicating that cognitive behavioral therapy had a moderate positive effect on psychological disorders. There is no significant difference in the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy on different psychological disorders. Online CBT was less effective than offline CBT for anxiety disorders, and there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of online and offline CBT interventions for other psychological disorders. Therefore, CBT can be an effective option to intervene in psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
Cultural Survival and Rights: The Unfinished Journey of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord
Authors: Kakon Kaniz
Published: September 2024

The signing of the Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord (CHTPA) in 1997 pledged to end a decades-old violent armed struggle while giving several reparations to the indigenous people of Bangladesh's southern hill zone. The agreement has not yet produced fallouts after 25 years; has not been implemented, and indigenous peoples' grief, desolation, servitude, and mistreatment continued. Communities are losing their identities, cultures, languages, livelihoods, and assets and becoming increasingly vulnerable and disadvantaged. This paper aims to examine why peace agreements have been ineffective in protecting Indigenous peoples from violence and harassment and to explore how institutional and legal mechanisms have failed to restore their lost dignity and rights actively.
What Content in Early Childhood Education for Sustainable Development is Present in Swedish Preschools?
Authors: Pramling Samuelsson Ingrid , Engdahl Ingrid , Ärlemalm-Hagsér Eva
Published: September 2024

This article shares what Swedish preschool teachers are working with in the field of early childhood education for sustainable development (ESD) as emerged in talks with their children, aged two to five years. The tasks carried out as the basis for the present analyses were informal child talks about a topic related to sustainability that the teachers and children had worked with in practice. The teachers themselves chose what content to talk about. The 200 teachers participated in the Swedish research and development program Sustainable Preschool. The aim of the present study was to make visible the content of teacher-child talks about sustainable development in early childhood education. The research question is as follow: What content areas do teachers communicate about with children 2-5 years of age related to ESD? The teacher-child talks were initiated by the teachers, but through the use of interpretative content analysis the children's voices were also made visible. The main result is narratives about the content, the most common topics being recycling, growing plants, and animals, areas which have long been common topics in Swedish preschools. For many preschools, however, the talks show an integration of transformative and transactional perspectives in how the content was handled together with the children. ESD in early education in Sweden is no longer dominated by the environmental dimension, as earlier content studies have shown; a new common content relates to the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4.7 regarding sustainable lifestyles and human rights and sustainability is a long process, founded in empowerment, action competence, and changed policy.

Authors: Churiyah Churiyah  , Rachma Hasibuan
Published: September 2024

This study aims to analyze the influence of gender stereotypes held by Early Childhood Education (PAUD) teachers on the physical, motoric and social emotional development of early childhood. Gender stereotypes can influence the way teachers interact with children, which in turn can affect their development in various aspects. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with a survey design. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed to PAUD teachers and direct observation of teacher interactions with children in class. The research results show that teachers' gender stereotypes significantly influence children's physical, motoric and social emotional development. Teachers who hold strong gender stereotypes tend to provide more support and opportunities to children according to traditional gender roles, resulting in an imbalance in the development of physical motor and social emotional skills between boys and girls. This research suggests the need for training for PAUD teachers to be aware of and overcome gender stereotypes, as well as the importance of more inclusive and gender-sensitive educational approaches to support the holistic development of early childhood.

Brazilian criminal organizations as subjects of non-classical wars in the form of criminal rebellion
Authors: Strigunov K. S.
Published: September 2024

Modern criminal organizations are increasingly destabilizing both individual states and the international system in general. As they reach a certain level of development, they are able to undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states through the establishment of control over parts of their territories. This can lead to a situation of criminal rebellion, understood as a mechanism of confrontation with the state under which organized crime begins to pose a challenge to the very existence of the latter. In this regard, the case of Latin American and Caribbean countries and, in particular, Brazil is of special interest. The first section examines academic discussions regarding the applicability of the concepts of ‘internal armed conflict’ and ‘unconventional warfare’ to the situation of criminal rebellion in Brazil. Special attention is paid to two key criteria — the intensity of violence and the organizational level of the belligerent parties. The author concludes that with regard to both these criteria, there is a state of unconventional warfare in Brazil in the form of a criminal rebellion that has reached the level of the internal armed conflict. The second and third sections of the paper examine the factors that contributed to the transformation of specific Brazilian criminal organizations — the ‘First Capital Command’ (PCC) and the ‘militias’ — into actors of a full-fledged criminal rebellion. In the case of the PCC, these factors include the adoption of more flexible network organizational principles and the guerrilla tactics, accompanied by the growing internationalization of criminal activities, against the backdrop of further militarization of the Brazilian police. In the case of the ‘militias’, the author focuses on the concept of ‘armed politics’, which describes a situation where organized crime pervades the entire state apparatus. The author concludes that the situation in Brazil shows all the signs of a criminal insurgency, when certain criminal organizations have reached such a level of organizational complexity that they are able to undermine the sovereignty of the state by establishing control over at least part of its territory and acting as a belligerent in the internal armed conflict. The specific of the situation in Brazil is that such an insurgency is carried out by non-state violent actors who formally do not pursue any political/ideological goals. However, due to their destructive potential they should be treated as if they had political goals.
ASEAN Defence Ministers MeetingPlus: Institutional structure, specific features, and evolution (2010–2022)
Authors: Muratshina K. G.
Published: September 2024

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is one of the key multilateral structures in Asia-Pacific. Throughout its history, the organization has established a system of external partnerships. In 2010, a specific security-related dialogue format has been introduced into this system, — the ASEAN Defence Ministers Meeting-Plus (ADMM-Plus). In order to provide a better understanding of the legal nature of the ADMM-Plus as an international grouping, and to discuss the dynamics of its evolution, as well as the practical results of its work, this paper examines the Meeting’s activities in the recent years (2010 to 2022) and identifies the stages of its institutional development. The author notes that, unlike other similar fora, ADMM-Plus has a strictly limited number of participants. It could seem counterproductive, however, both ASEAN and its dialogue partners keep up to the closed nature of the grouping, beware of the potential contradictionsincaseofitsexpansion.Theauthoralsoconductsthediscourse analysis of the ADMM-Plus documents and member statements, highlighting +-the views of the participants and identifying the current international positioning of the forum. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes that, in the context of the fundamental changes in the world order, ASEAN has proven its ability to control the sensitive agenda of the ADMM-Plus, and stays committed to its principles of multi-faceted policy. At the same time, the affinity of Russian and ASEAN approaches towards the development of Asia-Pacific is displayed. While other dialogue partners, primarily the United States and China, are pressurising ASEAN in order to ‘win over’ the Southeast Asian countries to their side, Russia consistently promotes an equal, practice-oriented dialogue, and adheres to the principles of non-interference in internal affairs and in local conflicts. The author concludes that, in spite of the low-profile practical achievements of the ADMM-Plus, the Meeting remains suitable for all its participants, as the main effect of its activity represents the maintenance of contacts and negotiations in the defence area in the face of the new regional security challenges.
Humanitarian diplomacy and the countries of the Global South: Trends and discourses
Authors: Kuznetsov D. A. , Dmitrieva V. A.
Published: September 2024

In recent years, discussions about the essence of humanitarization and humanization of international relations have intensified due to the aggravation of economic, social, and ethical problems against the background of a sharp deterioration in the international situation, particularly in the Global South. This paper aims to identify the specifics and provide a comparative analysis of the approaches of both the developed and developing states of the North and the South to the formats, content and purpose of humanitarian diplomacy in contemporary world politics. The first section examines academic discussions on the issues of humanitarian diplomacy. The authors highlight two main approaches in foreign and Russian international political studies to addressing the humanitarian problems of the Global South — an objectal and a subjectal ones. The former is typically associated with the developed countries of the Global North and is rooted in the practices of the colonial era. The latter gained prominence in academic research in the 21st century with the emergence of the ‘new donors’, which promoted joint development programs led by the countries of the Global South and built on regional financial institutions. At the same time, the authors note that academic research tends to focus primarily on the dynamics of aid flows and conditions for development assistance, while a number of current trends in the humanitarian diplomacy remain understudied. These trends are examined in the second section of the article. The authors emphasize the growing trend towards transnationalization and privatization of humanitarian diplomacy, active involvement of non-state and hybrid actors. The third section outlines the key features of humanitarian diplomacy of the leading countries of the Global South (China, India, Turkey), as well as that of the ASEAN states and Arab monarchies. The authors identify several general principles of humanitarian diplomacy shared by the countries of the Global South: a broad, pluralistic understanding of the humanitarian agenda to include cultural, scientific, academic, and youth policy issues; commitment to the ideas of solidarity and humanitarian cooperation (instead of the donor-recipient model); normative neutrality of the humanitarian policy; adherence to the principles of state sovereignty.

Neste trabalho, cuja fundamentação teórica se pauta pelos postulados da Linguística Textual (LT) e sua interface com a perspectiva pós-dualista da linguagem (PAVEAU, 2021), objetivamos investigar como as metarregras de coerência, continuidade, progressão, articulação e não contradição (CHAROLLES 1978; COSTA VAL, 2006) são atualizadas na tecnodiscursividade, bem como se relacionam às tipologias de comentários propostas por Paveau (2021), os quais podem ser identificados em quatro grandes categorias: relacional, conversacional, deslocado e compartilhado. Alinhamo-nos à atual perspectiva de texto da LT (CAVALCANTE et al., 2019, 2022), que o compreende a partir da relação entre fatores tecnológicos e linguageiros nas produções textuais em ambiente digital on-line, para defender que a construção de sentidos ocorre pelos mesmos parâmetros. Esta pesquisa se desenvolve no âmbito do PIBIC/IFCE (Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica) e parte da conceituação de gênero (MARCHUSCHI, 2008), para apontar em que medida o comentário, mantém suas características em um contexto pré-digital e se modifica com as potencialidades tecnodiscursivas. Para isso, analisamos 30 comentários e respostas de comentários de uma postagem do perfil G1 no Instagram, observando a manifestação das metarregras nas tipologias de comentários. A relevância do trabalho é suscitada pelo fato de ainda existir uma carência de trabalhos descritivos sobre os denominados gêneros nativos digitais e a construção de sentidos.
The Vocal Arts Workbook
Authors: Carey David , Carey Rebecca Clark
Published: September 2024

‘Refreshing and imaginative, this book teaches through enhanced awareness and instructs through clear and specific exercises.’ Cicely Berry

A practical course for actors and other professional voice-users to achieve clarity and expressivity with the voice. Setting out the fundamental principles of voice training, the book provides structured and informed methods for developing vocal power, range and flexibility.

At the heart of the book are practical projects with exercises and examples supplied in the accompanying online videos, which enable you to:

- connect your breath with your voice

- meet the demands of your performance

- use your voice expressively through fully controlling pitch and range

Each chapter consists of an introductory framework; explorations; exercises; follow-up work; suggested texts and further reading altogether offering a unique, student-centred approach not found in other voice books.

This revised edition speaks more directly to the actor, rather than the voice teacher, through revised terminology and descriptions, updated references, additional appendices on health and other issues related to trends in contemporary drama and questions of equality, diversity and inclusion with respect to vocabulary and suggested texts.

Includes forewords by Cicely Berry and Fiona Shaw.

Los nuevos sujetos del mercado financiero como consecuencia de la digitalización
Authors: Aragón Tardón Susana
Published: September 2024

Las nuevas tecnologías han afectado al sector de los servicios financieros. Así, han transfowrmado la forma en que se prestan los «servicios financieros tradicionales», han dado lugar a la aparición de nuevos servicios de pago con un importante componente tecnológico y han propiciado la irrupción de nuevos sujetos en el mercado financiero.
El presente trabajo realiza un análisis de cómo ha sido dicha transformación y cómo las autoridades europeas han tratado de dar una respuesta satisfactoria a todas las cuestiones que han surgido.
En este sentido, se analizan detalladamente los nuevos sujetos intervinientes en el mercado financiero: terceros proveedores de índole tecnológica, plataformas digitales, grupos de actividades diversas, proveedores del servicio de iniciación de pagos o entidades prestadoras del servicio de información sobre cuentas.
Asimismo, se identifican los principales riesgos y oportunidades derivados del nuevo panorama financiero, incluidos sus efectos adversos.
The treatment of drug abuse in juvenile offenders: an analysis in the Spanish population
Authors: Fernández Moreno Álvaro , Redondo Rodríguez Natalia , Graña Gómez José Luis
Published: September 2024

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the variables influencing the efficacy of different approaches to addressing the problem of drug use among juvenile offenders. A longitudinal study was conducted with 79 adolescent internees at the Teresa de Calcuta CEMJ (Centro de Ejecución de Medidas Judiciales) in Madrid. Therapeutic interventions were conducted with adolescents with severe drug-related problems. For data analysis, binary logistic regression analysis was used. Therapeutic success after a three-month follow-up period was 53.2%. The regression analysis correctly classified 86.1% of the cases, effectively predicting 85.7% of therapeutic success and 86.5% of therapeutic failure. The analysis identified 4 predictive factors: the number of criminal charges resulting in internment, number of minor infractions committed during detention, prior consumption of ecstasy and risk factors in personality and/or behavioural issues. The results suggest that judicial and therapeutic interventions should be based on the chronicity of delinquency and other individual personality traits.
La autocompasión como variable moderadora entre apego, dependencia emocional, estrés, ansiedad y depresión en adolescentes españoles
Authors: Etxaburu Nerea , Herrero Marta , Estévez Ana
Published: September 2024

El apego es un elemento crítico del origen de la dependencia emocional, y una de sus consecuencias más estudiadas es el desarrollo de la sintomatología ansioso-depresiva. La autocompasión ha demostrado ser un factor protector frente a la ansiedad y la depresión, pero no se han encontrado estudios que la relacionen con la dependencia emocional. Por ello, los tres objetivos del presente estudio fueron analizar la relación entre estas variables; estudiar si las variables sociodemográficas influyen en estas variables; comprobar si la dependencia emocional media la relación entre el apego y la sintomatología psicológica disfuncional; y determinar si estas relaciones están moderadas por la autocompasión. La muestra consistió en 940 adolescentes (55,7% mujeres y 44,3% hombres) de España. Se observó que la dependencia emocional mediaba la relación entre el apego y la sintomatología psicológica disfuncional, y que estas relaciones estaban moderadas por la autocompasión. Se reconoce que la autocompasión tiene un efecto protector sobre los niveles de dependencia emocional, estrés, ansiedad y depresión.
Videojuegos, funcionamiento ejecutivo y atención plena: estudio exploratorio comparativo entre jugadores y no jugadores de League of Legends
Authors: Valiente-Barroso Carlos , Vázquez-Peña Anna , Martínez-Vicente Marta
Published: September 2024

Estudios previos han evidenciado que jugar a League of Legends (LoL) mejora ciertas capacidades y habilidades que pueden ser entrenadas. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la relación y el carácter predictivo del funcionamiento ejecutivo en la atención plena (mindfulness) disposicional en una muestra compuesta de jugadores y no jugadores de LoL. Los resultados reflejan que los jugadores presentan una menor capacidad para focalizar actividades del momento presente en su vida diaria, una mayor ausencia de juicio y una menor predisposición que los no jugadores a proceder con atención plena. En este grupo se aprecia una tendencia mayor a presentar problemas relacionados con el control emocional, el control ejecutivo y el posible desarrollo de síntomas prefrontales. Se concluye que LoL es un videojuego que requiere de la utilización de muchas capacidades cognitivas, entre ellas la alta demanda sobre las funciones ejecutivas del usuario, factor que parece interferir con la capacidad de atención plena más allá de la pantalla. Esto indica una posible vulnerabilidad en los jugadores a presentar con mayor probabilidad síntomas prefrontales.

Two recent books take very different positions on decolonization: one “wallows” in today’s academically fashionable “restorative justice” ideology. The other seeks to restore decolonization’s traditional meaning and facilitate self-government for formerly colonized people.
