Published: June 2024

Background: HIV continues to be a serious global public health concern, having taken 40.4 million lives to date and continuing to spread throughout all nations. By the end of 2022, there were projected to be 39 million HIV-positive individuals. The annual incidence of HIV-positive pregnant women is on the rise in Indonesia. In 2021, 4396 pregnant women were diagnosed with HIV, and this number increased to 8769 in 2022. Pregnant women's behaviours to prevent HIV transmission from mother to child are mainly determined by their level of knowledge. This study was carried out to determine the level of pregnant women’s knowledge and find out the relationship between the characteristics and the knowledge of the pregnant women about the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) in Surabaya. Methods: This is quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. The number of respondents involved was 235 people. The inclusion criteria for this study were pregnant women in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimesters who attended antenatal care at Community Health Centres in Surabaya. Meanwhile, the exclusion criteria for this study were pregnant women with disabilities. This research was conducted at the Putat Jaya, Morokrembangan, Perak Timur, Pucangsewu, Kalirungkut, and Tanah Kali Kedinding Community Health Centres in Surabaya during August–October 2023. Samples were collected using a purposive sampling technique. An overview of knowledge is known through a questionnaire. The findings have been calculated using the Spearman and Chi square statistical tests. Results: According to the findings, less than half (49.4%) have sufficient knowledge of PMTCT. The result of the statistical test revealed that the correlation between age and knowledge has a p-value of 0.735, education and knowledge have a p-value of 0.066, information sources and knowledge have a p-value of 0.087, gravidity and knowledge have a p-value of 1, and occupation and knowledge have a p-value of 0.308, ethnicity and knowledge have a p-value of 0.104, monthly income and knowledge have a p-value of 0.278. Conclusion: The findings revealed that less than half of respondents have sufficient knowledge of PMTCT. Knowledge was unrelated to age, education, source of information, gravidity, occupation, ethnicity, and monthly income.

Authors: Ardista Rani Lestari  , Rosiana Dewi Prayogo  , Maulidina Nabilah Tasyakuranti  , Lely Indriasari  , Udijanto Tedjosasongko
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is a congenital heart disease frequently diagnosed in children. Children with ToF have a high risk of caries, especially in primary dentition. Preparation of the oral cavity must be done before heart surgery to mitigate risks, including the consideration of bacterial endocarditis associated with dental infections. Proper examination and diagnosis are needed to determine dental treatment and reduce these risks. This case report aims to explain dental management in children with ToF under general anesthesia (GA). Case History: A five-year-old girl came to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic at Dr. Saiful Anwar Regional General Hospital, Malang, referred by her pediatric cardiologist for oral cavity assessment prior to heart surgery. The patient was diagnosed with ToF. Intraoral examination revealed multiple cavities and remaining roots. The patient was scheduled for tooth filling and extraction under GA and was given prophylactic antibiotics before the procedure. Discussion: Children with ToF are at high risk of bacterial endocarditis. Any dental procedure causing trauma to soft tissue or bone leading to bleeding can induce transient bacteremia. Considering these risks, dental management under GA can be conducted immediately before the heart surgery. Conclusion: Dental management in children with Tetralogy of Fallot under general anesthesia is a good choice. With the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team, including a pediatric dentist, pediatric cardiologist, and anesthesiologist, appropriate treatment can be carried out to prevent bacterial endocarditis.

Tarsal coalition and painful plano-valgus foot. Deformity correction as alternative to resection
Authors:   Ortop Poliklinika, Poznań, Poland, Napiontek Marek
Published: June 2024

Aim. The study aimed to evaluate a group of patients who underwent consecutive surgeries between 2007 and 2020 due to a painful coalition of the tarsal bones, focusing exclusively on correcting valgus foot deformity. Materials and methods. A retrospective clinical and radiographic analysis was conducted on 11 adolescents (13 feet) who underwent surgery for talonavicular or talocalcaneal coalition combined with valgus deformity. Age at surgery ranged from 12 to 21 years. In each patient, the procedure involved performing opening wedge osteotomy of the anterior part of the calcaneus along with gastrocnemius muscle lengthening, with no coalition removal. The calcaneal osteotomy, using an autograft from the lateral malleolus, did not require stabilization. Two patients were operated on bilaterally. Before the surgeries, all the patients had painful valgus and abduction deformity and/or flatfoot with restriction of subtalar motion. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 14 years (mean 6). Results. Pain relief and foot shape improvement were achieved in all patients who underwent the procedure. Conclusion. In adolescents and young adults, deformity correction and improvement in foot shape without coalition resection alleviates the pain associated with the defect.
Structural MRI and computational anatomy
Authors: Hoffstaedter Felix , Antonopoulos Georgios , Gaser Christian
Published: June 2024

Structural magnetic resonance imaging can yield highly detailed images of the human brain. In order to quantify the variability in shape and size across different brains, methods developed in the field of computational anatomy have proved exceptionally useful. For example, voxel-based morphometry is a popular method that involves segmenting magnetic resonance imaging scans into gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid, and transforming individual brain shapes to a standard template space for comparative analysis. However, computational anatomy – when applied to brain data at scale – can be complex and computationally expensive. Furthermore, there are many possible pipelines that can be applied to structural brain data and for this reason it is important to follow best practices for reproducible neuroimaging analyses. This chapter demonstrates reproducible processing using the CAT12 (Computational Anatomy Toolbox) extension to SPM12 that focuses on voxel- and region-based morphometry. Through worked examples, we demonstrate three approaches to reproducible image analysis: ‘minimal’, ‘intermediate’ and a ‘comprehensive’ protocol using the FAIRly big workflow. The comprehensive approach automatically facilitates parallel execution of whole dataset processing using container technology and also produces re-executable run records of each processing step to enable fully automatic reproducibility.
A longitudinal study investigating the role of basic psychological needs and autonomous motivation in explaining students’ achievement and dropout from teacher education

Published: June 2024

This pre-registered longitudinal study investigated the relations between basic psychological need satisfaction and motivational quality and objective measures of achievement and dropout, to extend principles of self-determination theory in the classroom to modelling of psychological need satisfaction alongside long-term objective academic outcomes. Participants were first-year and fourth-year student teachers in Norway, a demographic known for having high attrition rates. Unexpectedly, we found that autonomous motivation and amotivation were negatively related with achievement, whereas gender (males) and previous grades were positively related with it. Controlled motivation and gender (males) was, conversely, positively related with remaining on the study program. As expected, amotivation was related with dropout. Finally, the effect of autonomous motivation on remaining in education was mediated by basic psychological needs, suggesting that autonomous motivation indirectly reduces dropout through the satisfaction of the basic needs. We discuss the limitations of our study and implications for future research.

Published: June 2024

With the rising popularity of intensive longitudinal research, the modeling techniques for such data are increasingly focused on individual differences. Here we present mixture multilevel vector-autoregressive modeling, which extends multilevel vector-autoregressive modeling by including a mixture, to identify individuals with similar traits and dynamic processes. This exploratory model identifies mixture components, where each component refers to individuals with similarities in means (expressing traits), autoregressions, and cross-regressions (expressing dynamics), while allowing for some interindividual differences in these attributes. Key issues in modeling are discussed, where the issue of centering predictors is examined in a small simulation study. The proposed model is validated in a simulation study and used to analyze the affective data from the COGITO study. These data consist of samples for two different age groups of over 100 individuals each who were measured for about 100 days. We demonstrate the advantage of exploratory identifying mixture components by analyzing these heterogeneous samples jointly. The model identifies three distinct components, and we provide an interpretation for each component motivated by developmental psychology.

Published: June 2024

In this pre-registered meta-analysis, we investigated the effectiveness of morphology instruction on literacy outcomes for primary school children in English-speaking countries. We were interested in overall reading and spelling outcomes, but we also looked separately at results for trained and untrained words in order to determine whether there was evidence of transfer to untrained words. We were also interested in whether results transferred beyond the word level to reading comprehension outcomes. Our screening process revealed 28 eligible studies, which contributed 177 effect sizes to the analyses. Robust variance estimation methods were used to account for dependence between effect sizes. Overall, effect sizes on reading and spelling outcomes were small to moderate. Effect sizes were larger for trained words than untrained words. There was evidence of transfer to untrained words for spelling outcomes, but not for reading outcomes. There was also no clear evidence of effects on reading comprehension outcomes. In general, the evidence was characterised by large amounts of heterogeneity and imprecision, which was reflective of the wide variety within and between studies in terms of intervention content, outcome measures, intervention dosage and type of control group. We discuss the limitations of the current literature and make recommendations for future research and practice in the field of morphology instruction.
Thermoethics: morality through the lens of neurophysiology
Authors: Tjostheim Trond Arild , Stenseke Jakob
Published: June 2024

Over the last century, morality has been thoroughly examined through evolutionary biology, psychology, and cognitive neuroscience. However, little work has concerned itself with systematically unifying these levels of inquiry. Here, we propose thermoethics as a framework to fill this gap. Central to this approach is the idea that moral processes are fundamentally tied to the conservation and expenditure of metabolic energy. By integrating physiological concepts like homeostasis and allostasis within the context of prosocial behaviour and cognition, we demonstrate how the thermodynamics associated with pain and stress can be understood as energy-costly processes, while pleasure and relief can be understood as energy-saving processes. We show how studying these metabolic dynamics can serve explanations in the evolution of morality, the mechanisms underpinning moral cognition, and ethical theorizing. This interdisciplinary perspective, we argue, offers a robust, physics-consistent foundation for future research in naturalized ethics, highlighting the unifying links between neurophysiological processes and moral phenomena.

Cross-country variation in in paid work: A comparison between countries and genders over time
Authors: Hipp Lena , Kelley Kristin
Published: June 2024

How have your employment rates and average working hours developed over time? We answer this question by describing trends in women’s and men’s labor force participation (LFP) and average weekly working hours across Europe and the United States from 1992-2021. Our analyses show that more progress was made to close gender gaps in LFP rates than in working hours. In most countries, women’s LFP rates increased considerably, but their average working hours decreased. Men’s LFP rates either decreased or stagnated, and their average working hours decreased but still remained much higher than women’s. The countervailing trends in working hours and LFP rates make it difficult to paint a coherent picture of cross-national differences in women’s and men’s paid work and of changes over time. We therefore propose a supplementary or alternative measure we call “work volume,” which records hours at zero for non-employed individuals and thus allows for straightforward comparisons of women’s and men’s overall contribution to the labor force. Use of this measure shows that gender gaps in work volume decreased over time, but that even in 2021 men’s work volume remained considerably higher than women’s—with gender gaps in work volume being lowest in the Scandinavian and the former Communist countries. In the United States, the gender gap in work volume was 7.7 hours, which is roughly equal to the average gap across the 32 countries.
LMDI decomposition and macroeconomic drivers of electricity intensity in Madagascar
Authors: Ramaharo Franck Maminirina
Published: June 2024

This study employs the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) decomposition method to analyze the drivers of overall electricity intensity in Madagascar over the period 2007-2022. The decomposition results reveal that the residential sector is the primary driver of overall electricity intensity, followed by the service and industry sectors. Notably, the industry sector has contributed to a decrease in intensity. Furthermore, the results indicate that the intensity effect has had a significant impact on increasing overall electricity intensity, whereas the structure effect has played a role in reducing total intensity. Building on these findings, we investigate the impact of key macroeconomic factors on the observed electricity intensity trend using the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach with quarterly data over the same study period. The ARDL cointegrating approach estimation results reveal a long-run association between financial development, foreign direct investment, industry development, consumer energy inflation, and trade openness. Moreover, the long-run coefficients, which are further supported by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) estimates, indicate that financial development and trade openness have a positive and significant impact on electricity intensity in Madagascar, while foreign direct investment, industry development, and consumer energy inflation have a negative and significant impact, suggesting that these factors contribute to electricity efficiency. The Toda-Yamamoto non-causality approach uncovers unidirectional causal relationships, specifically from financial development, industrial development, and consumer energy inflation to electricity intensity, as well as from electricity intensity to foreign direct investment. These causal directions are further corroborated by the forecast-error variance decomposition, providing strong evidence for these relationships. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders in Madagascar's energy sector, highlighting the importance of promoting energy efficiency initiatives.

Published: June 2024

The plants Buddleja asiatica and Buddleja paniculata are two closely related species of which the former has widespread uses in traditional medicine while the latter remains relatively unexplored. The present study focused on the analysis of phytoconstituents and the estimation of different biological activities of extracts and semi-purified fractions. The ethyl acetate stem fraction and methanolic extract of the leaf of B. asiatica displayed the highest phenolic contents of 390.98 ± 5.32 and 383.72 ± 7.31 mg GAE/g. TFC content was measured as 207.33 ± 0.34 and 138.58 ± 0.53 mg QE/g for ethyl acetate leaf and stem fraction of B. asiatica. The highest antioxidant activity was displayed by crude stem extract of B. paniculata with IC50 35.65±0.61 µg/mL in DPPH assay followed by ethyl acetate stem fraction of B. asiatica with IC50 36.17±0.92 µg/mL. The DCM leaf fraction and stem fraction of B. asiatica were found active against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Both plants displayed mild to no toxicity against the brine shrimp nauplii. Median lethal concentration (LC50) ranged from 346.96 ± 25.39 in hexane fraction of leaf to 2719.32 ± 706.5 µg/mL in crude methanol extract of B. paniculata. The present study showed these medicinal plants are rich in an important class of organic compounds that play a significant role in the cure of bacterial infection which ultimately supports pharmaceutical research.
K-Pop Fandom and Beauty Trends: Investigating the Engagement of Young Urban Indian Women with BTS
Authors: Bhaisaheb Fatema , Shendurnikar Nidhi
Published: June 2024

The Korean wave (Hallyu) has emerged as a global phenomenon spreading to many countries including India since the nineties. In the initial phase, Korean dramas attracted international attention, after which Korean pop music took the world by storm. With the rising popularity of K-pop in India (Jiju, 2023), it is essential to understand the influence it carries on Indian fans. This paper delves into understanding how K-Pop has influenced ideas about beauty among young adults in Vadodara, a cosmopolitan town located in the western Indian state of Gujarat. Three focus group discussions were carried out with fifteen youngsters who identified as K-pop fans, particularly of BTS (Bangtan Boys), a South Korean boy band formed in 2013. The research design adopted for this study was qualitative and exploratory. Theoretical underpinnings informed by The Social Construction of Reality (Berger & Luckman,1966) and The Juggernaut of Modernity (Giddens, 1990) were used to examine the influence of K-Pop consumption on ideas about beauty in the context of fandom culture. The findings reveal no significant influence on beauty-related values and ideals. However, K-pop does have a positive bearing on other aspects of the lives of its fans such as challenging stereotypes, promoting self-love, addressing social problems, and positive impact on individual personality. In addition, a shift in fashion ideals is observed indicating a growing trend of Korean-inspired fashion trends.

Psychotherapy in Shreemad-Bhagwad-Geeta (Krishna-Upachaar for Arjun-Rog)
Authors: Risal Ajay
Published: June 2024

Shreemad-Bhagwad-Geeta (The Geeta) is the most influential scripture not only in the cultural, religious and theoretical aspects, but also in the academic, philosophical, and practical phases of individual and social lifes. Currently, there are discussions among academicians, philosophers, and mental health practitioners to utilize this discourse also for psychological treatment. Krishna-Arjun communication in the Geeta is almost similar to the client-therapist relationship in the modern day clinical practice. The Geeta's dialogue transpired in the battlefield (Kurukshetra) of the famous Mahabharat war, when one of the most influential warriors of the Pandav side, Arjun, became psychologically disturbed (melancholic), and decided to flee. His charioteer, Krishna, then assumed the therapist's position and provided the essential counseling (therapy) to bring Arjun back to the war. The Krishna-Arjun conversation during that time can be easily interpreted in the modern psychotherapeutic procedures: supportive, cognitive, behavioral, grief-resolution, motivational enhancement, hypnosis, etc. Krishna used an eclectic approach to heal Arjun’s mind and motivate him towards his Kshetriya duty. Thus, I see the Geeta as a form of Krishna’s treatment to heal Arjun’s mind, i.e., Krishna-Upachaar for the Arjun-Rog. This paper tries to establish this proposition.

Objawienie, prawda, nauka. Spór o relacje między filozofią a teologią w czeskiej myśli międzywojnia
Authors: Bęben Dariusz
Published: June 2024

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie sporu dotyczącego relacji filozofii i teologii w czeskiej myśli międzywojennej (Kozák, Souček, Rádl, Patočka). Omawiam różne sposoby uzasadniania teologii i Objawienia oraz ich związki z filozofią. W tym sporze z jednej strony teolodzy starają się uzasadnić wyjątkowość teologii, a także wykazać jej naukowy charakter. Z drugiej strony, filozofowie pokazują, że teologia oparta na Objawieniu nie może być częścią wiedzy. Historia sporu pokazała, że teologia musi zachować dystans do filozofii, jeśli nie chce wyrzec się swojej istoty, swojej securitatis, która nadeje  sens  jej istnieniu, co nie znaczy, że jest niewrażliwa na codzienne problemy człowieka.
Pierwszy szczebel
Authors: Tołstoj Lew Nikołajewicz , Ojcewicz Grzegorz
Published: June 2024

Leo Tolstoy’s essay, The First Step (Первая ступень) written in 1891, is a multi-dimensional text whose purpose was not only to try to convert people to the righteous path of living through consistently followed restraint and self-control over one’s desires, but its author also encouraged people – in a rather convincing way – to become vegetarians. Tolstoy claimed that meat-free diet closely relates to healthy nutrition and consi­derably limits or even eliminates the suffering of animals being slaughtered on a mass scale for consumption in pain and death factories, as he referred to mechanised slaughterhouses. Using naturalistic images, the writer describes horrifying scenes he witnessed at the abattoir in Tula. The text is filled with drastic imagery, sounds and foul odours wafting from the slaughterhouse and the vision of inhumane practices of butchers, young and old, devoid of any sympathy towards the animals being killed. In hindsight it must be regretfully noted that Tolstoy’s essay has not changed people’s dietary habits and vegetaria­nism has not managed to supplant the traditional, mostly meat-based menu.

Authors: Omerkić Dautović Dženita , Džuho Amra , Ašić Adna
Published: June 2024

COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared in 2020 by the World Health Organization. New mutations have been identified, leading to various variants of this virus, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Omicron, which are classified as variants of concern (VOCs) and have raised considerable concerns for global public health. Such constant spread and changes in the genome of the virus require continuous monitoring. This research focuses on the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 through a detailed presentation of the viral genome, protein structure and interpretation, with the presentation of phylogenetic characteristics and patterns. We obtained the sequence data from the European region focusing on the S, E, and RdRp proteins from the publicly available NCBI database. We next used the MEGA11 package to generate the multiple sequence alignments and create phylogenetic trees. The SWISS-MODEL server was connected to the Protein Data Bank to obtained tertiary structure images of all the proteins presented in the paper. Stability studies of obtained mutations were performed via MUpro online tool. The results indicate a substantial impact of the Omicron variant relative to others, particularly concerning the alterations and mutations observed in the spike (S) protein, which is crucial in the infection process.
Practical Aspects of Sputtering and Its Role in Industrial Plasma Nitriding
Authors: Roliński Edward
Published: June 2024

Sputtering is a nonthermal vaporization process in which atoms are ejected from the surface of a solid by momentum transfer from energetic particles of atomic or molecular size. Ionized gases in plasma nitriding chambers often possess enough energy to sputter atoms from workload, fixturing, and racking surfaces that are then redeposited to the benefit or detriment of the nitriding process. This article explains how and why sputtering occurs during plasma nitriding and how to recognize and control its effects. It reviews the factors that influence the intensity of sputtering and its effects, whether positive or negative, on treated parts. It also provides recommendations for improving outcomes when nitriding titanium alloys, ferrous metals, particularly stainless steels, and components with complex geometries.

Authors: Singh Arvinder
Published: June 2024

It is uncommon for these rare congenital abnormalities to manifest as craniofacial clefts. The Tessier clefting scheme is one classification technique that is used for diagnosis. A maxillary duplication is an extra bone that is situated behind the maxillary tuberosity. The case of a six-year-old child with bilaterally supernumerary teeth who presented to the Department of Radiodiagnosis of our institute to assess and treat enlarged asymptomatic cheek swelling is presented. On the basis of the patient's medical history, physical examination, and radiological tests, the accessory maxillae were diagnosed. Later, there was a surgical reconstruction.

Background: The coastal areas of Bangladesh are prone to multiple threats such as cyclones, storm surges and floods, as well as earthquakes, tsunamis, and above all, climate change. These types of disaster hamper the human lives and community order. The local police force of Bangladesh has to take some seasonal actions controlling the human behavior in during and post disasters period in the coastal areas on Bangladesh. Objective: The main focus of the study is to know how disasters and crimes are interrelated and what forms of crime are being done in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. The present study is conducted to know this involving the police force activities in the by taking the perception of the community people perceptions as well as the tentative suggestions by the mass people how to change the situations for a better milieu. Methods and tools: This were a mixed method study conducted among 385 study subjects residing in coastal areas of Bangladesh. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview schedule by maintaining purposive sampling method through face-to-face interview sessions. Results: A number of 89.01% (male) and 82.15% (female) respondents of the coastal areas mentioned that they have to face tidal mostly in the terms of natural disaster. The study shows that 98.32% are committed to act of stealing (family goods, fish, trees, etc.), 59.20% committed to torture women and children, 86.37% captured the neighbors’ goods and resources. Picture of crimes that were done by the local people in post-disaster in the coastal areas notably 89.36% involved in stealing and quarreling, 84.21% terrorism for money, 98.24% in the name of relief, 68.32% exchanged goods ill-legally, 42.52% sexual harassed and 58.64% ill-legal possession of land. Regarding police assistance, 26.35% respondents were helped to obey the laws, 36.95% harassed by the local police force, 53.24% faced bribe questions in the name of service, 58.03% no helped from the police force, 54.76% mentioned police didn’t come to the disasters spot, 49.38% mentioned police helped to control the armed robbers, 65.96% happy to get the service from the village police force, 59.37% said police force avoided the demand of mass people.
Participación de jóvenes con discapacidad y neurodivergentes en centros de formación técnica profesional: el caso de cuatro instituciones chilenas
Authors: Victoriano Villouta Eugenia
Published: June 2024

La educación técnica profesional busca la formación de la fuerza laboral para asegurar mano de obra capacitada. Aunque se ha masificado el acceso a ella, aún las personas con discapacidad tienen escasa participación, quedando ajena a los beneficios que trae. El propósito de este estudio fue describir las barreras y facilitadores a la participación de jóvenes con discapacidad en este nivel educativo, para lo que se trabajó con cuatro centros de formación técnica (CFT) utilizando un enfoque mixto secuencial que permitió, por un lado, conocer la proporción de estudiantes con discapacidad en estos centros y, por otro, describir las barreras, facilitadores y desafíos a nivel institucional, académico, social y de infraestructura, destacándose la disposición de las instituciones a entregar los apoyos necesarios, los ajustes académicos que se realizan, las barreras actitudinales asociadas a una mirada desde el déficit y los desafíos en cuanto a infraestructura. Se concluye que es fundamental generar políticas nacionales e institucionales que permitan caracterizar a esta población y generar campañas de concientización y capacitación a las comunidades educativas. Finalmente, como futuras líneas de investigación se sugiere levantar información nacional asociada a otras variables y estudiar la empleabilidad.
The Effect of Training Adults on the Safe Use of Computers: An Awareness Campaign Initiative
Authors: AlDekheel Abrar Y.
Published: June 2024

People across different age groups worldwide use computers and smart devices with access to the Internet. This highlights the importance of educating users and making them aware of the threats to cybersecurity, hazards of the Internet, privacy and safety of personal information, and various kinds of online attacks. This study investigates the level of awareness among adults of the safe use of computers with Internet access. Data were collected by using two surveys: An initial survey was conducted to measure the users’ level of awareness before they attended a lecture, training, or workshop. A follow-up survey was subsequently conducted after the lecture/training/workshop to measure its effects on the users' awareness and understanding of the safety and security of using devices connected to the Internet. This research also investigatesnew methods to reduce cyberattacks, and the responsiveness of users to unknown links and threats.The findings of this study indicates that there is a positive influence on the participants after the workshop as it improves their knowledge of the privacy and security issues related to the use of social media and the use of different internet tools and increase their awareness level about the cybercrimes and different threats in the digital world. Yet, the results still show struggles in understanding the safety of their personal information and their contents in social media. Hence, a recommendation of more training in the field of applying practical privacy and security steps is still required to enhance their skills and ability to protect themselves and educate others in their communities.
Jurydyzm i charyzmaty w Kościele
Authors: Królikowski Janusz
Published: June 2024

Artykuł podejmuje niektóre zagadnienia dotyczące relacji zachodzącej między jurydyzmem i charyzmatami w rozumieniu, a tym samym także w urzeczywistnianiu się Kościoła. Zostaje szczególnie pokreślona potrzeba zintegrowanego pojmowania tych dwóch rzeczywistości. Jej warunkiem jest zarówno odpowiednia eklezjologia, widząca władzę w Kościele w służbie miłości, jak również odpowiednia antropologia, która pokazuje zasady urzeczywistniania współpracy człowieka z łaską. Przede wszystkim chodzi jednak o to, by z pozycji teologicznej oraz historycznej widzieć prawo i charyzmat jako rzeczywistości, które w punkcie wyjścia stanowią dynamiczną jedność.

„Welt auf der Kippe” – Widerspiegelungen der Brüche des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts in Peter Seewalds Biografie „Benedikt XVI. Ein Leben”
Authors: Zaremba Martyna
Published: June 2024

Joseph Ratzinger/Benedikt XVI. war nicht nur ein hervorragender Theologe, sondern auch ein scharfsinniger Beobachter, Diagnostiker und Prognostiker der Zeit. Sein Denken war weit voraus, er blickte prophetisch in die Zukunft und sah verheerende Folgen des menschlichen Handelns voraus, die sich heute bewahrheiten, so z. B. die rapide steigende Säkularisierung und die damit Hand in Handgehende Abnahme junger Menschen in der Kirche. Sowohl als gemäβigter Modernist als auch als überzeugter Konservativer ahnte er den drohenden Zusammenbruch bzw. die Selbstzerstörung der ohne Gott lebenden Menschheit.1 Seines Erachtens steht die Welt auf der Kippe. Deshalb rief Benedikt XVI. in seinen unzähligen Ansprachen und Schriften die Menschen immer wieder dazu auf, sich umdie Umwelt zu kümmern, damit die Erde, die der Mensch vom Schöpfer erhalten hat, auch an andere Generationen weitergegeben werden kann.
