The Life and Death Education for Teenagers in China: A Lesson of Rebirth
Authors: Guo Zixuan
Published: February 2025

Life and death education is a crucial topic in everyone’s life. In this world, birth and death occur every moment. However, in China, teenagers, who are at a critical stage of physical and mental growth, are often excluded from the door of life and death education. During adolescence, significant physiological and psychological changes occur, necessitating professional and scientific guidance to foster healthy beliefs. Yet, due to the constraints of traditional Chinese concepts and societal atmosphere, teenagers cannot receive adequate and correct education, easily forming misguided views on life and death, leading to life trivialization and excessive fear of death. To alter this status quo in China, concerted efforts from families, schools, and society are required.
The effectiveness of chatbots and its difference with usual treatment to reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety: meta-analysis review
Authors: Feng Ge
Published: February 2025

The review aims to test the effectiveness of chatbots in treating depression and anxiety through cognitive behavioral therapy within a short duration of treatment. This review also tries to test whether chatbot therapies are similar to usual treatments. The study pooled data from 12 studies. In the random effects model, at the significance level of α = 0.05, chatbot therapies significantly reduce the symptoms of depression and anxiety with a small to moderate effect size. For anxiety groups, the range of summarized standardized mean difference is from -0.39 to -0.1. For depression groups, the interval of a summarized standardized mean difference ranges from -0.36 to -0.08. The difference in effectiveness between chatbot therapies and traditional therapies is minimal. Therefore, chatbot-provided cognitive behavioral therapy shows promise for the future. Three studies with significant heterogeneity were removed. They differ in terms of outdated chatbots, significantly varying durations of treatments, and the special period during which the study was conducted. These implications may suggest that chatbots are undergoing rapid upgrades, so future researchers should keep up with the changes in chatbot technology. The number of related researches is limited, and moral concern should be considered in future researches.

La diversidad de lo sagrado: Encuentros y desencuentros entre religión e interculturalidad
Authors: Maldonado Ramírez Ma. De la Luz
Published: February 2025

En el XII Censo de Población y Vivienda 2010, las cifras en torno a la pertenencia religiosa en México indicaron que un 82.7 % de la población se consideraba adscrita al catolicismo. La población restante se distribuía entre otras evangélicas, Pentecostales y Neopentecostales, Testigos de Jehovah, Protestantes Históricas, Adventistas del Séptimo Día, La Luz del Mundo, Mormones y Judaica, en tanto que los sin religión contaban con un registro importante, comparable a las cifras de las minorías religiosas. En el siguiente ejercicio censal, pese a las dificultades de su realización en el contexto de la pandemia COVID-19, se registró una disminución de las cifras del catolicismo en un 78.1 %. Esta modificación confirma lo que los estudiosos del cambio religioso en México han observado en los últimos 30 años: una tendencia lenta pero sostenida del crecimiento de las denominaciones cristianas evangélicas y de las personas sin religión, sin una adscripción religiosa institucional o eclesial, pero no necesariamente ateos o agnósticos. Asimismo, sostienen que el catolicismo logra reproducirse en las prácticas rituales dirigidas a santos y vírgenes, los cultos festivos y los espacios sagrados como altares (Véase Encuesta de creencias y prácticas religiosas en México 2016).

LEVERAGING AI AND IOT TECHNOLOGIES FOR IMPROVED DECISION-MAKING IN FAMILY MEDICINE
Authors: Pavani Karani  , Dr. Munazza Jabeen  , Neha Gogineni  , Amgad Samir Abdelmageed Mohamed Elfeki  , Ahmed Samir Abdelmageed Mohamed Elfiki
Published: February 2025

Background: AI and IoT technologies have now become seen as robust approaches for the improvement of decision-making in the healthcare field. These aim to manage care, monitor, and enhance flow in a family medicine practice. The use, though, remains suboptimal, and the positive and negative effects of applying AI and IoT in family medicine are worth further examination.
Objective: As such, it is the purpose of this study to assess its utilization, comprehension, and consequence in family medicine AI and IoT cases, while also unveiling the limitations to their operationalization.
Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study was undertaken whereby data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 250 family medicine practitioners comprising general practitioners, nurses, and specialty practitioners.
Methodology: The survey included questions related to the frequency of the usage of artificial intelligence and IoT, benefits, and potential challenges, and contribution to the decision-making process in the clinical environment. The first analysis was descriptive statistics, and Cronbach Alpha was used in determining reliability. Established normality tests for major variables involved the Shapiro-Wilk test and inferential statistics examined the relationship between technology adoption and perceived value.
Results: It was indicated in the study that family medicine uses AI moderately; most of those who participated in the study used it occasionally or sometimes. Correspondingly, the main IoT devices that residents received recommendations for chronic diseases include heart rate and blood pressure monitors. Not surprisingly, the Shapiro-Wilk test pointed at the non-normal distribution of the key variables, meaning that the confidence and perceived helpfulness of AI are different across practitioners. The work presented here is not perfect since the internal reliability was moderate according to Cronbach’s Alpha (.463). Some of the challenges to scaling the use of AI were a lack of training and data security issues.
Conclusions: The noted technologies AI, and IoT are seen as helpful for tackling challenges in family practices; chronic disease monitoring is a significant area of interest But, their implementation is not equal. Particularly, there are four primary concerns for further development: increased emphasis on training and attention to privacy. The use of these technologies has to be propelled by the best efforts to tackle these challenges and offer enough support to healthcare providers. More studies and policy measures should be carried out to increase the incorporation of AI and IoT into the field of family medicine.
Immanuel Wallerstein as Africanist: from modernisation to Marxism in the 1960s
Authors: Chian Sam
Published: February 2025

Immanuel Wallerstein’s intellectual journey toward developing world-systems analysis began with his significant involvement in African studies during the 1960s. This article explores how Wallerstein’s decade as an Africanist, marked by his deep engagement with the decolonisation movements across the continent, laid the foundation for his later Marxist-oriented critique of the capitalist world-economy. Through his work in Africa, Wallerstein progressively distanced himself from modernisation theory and embraced a Marxist perspective, largely informed by his interactions with figures like Frantz Fanon, Kwame Nkrumah and Amílcar Cabral. Initially focused on the nation state and independence movements in Africa, Wallerstein’s scholarship increasingly recognised the limitations of methodological nationalism and the need to situate African political and economic conditions within the framework of historical capitalism. This transformation set the stage for Wallerstein’s later influential works on the world-system. The article contributes to a better understanding of how Africa shaped one of the twentieth century’s most significant social theorists.

Authors: Pasupuleti Murali Krishna
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The rapid expansion of urban populations and increasing demand for efficient public infrastructure necessitate innovative solutions for crowd and queue flow optimization. Traditional methods, relying on classical AI and heuristic models, often fail to dynamically adapt to real-time congestion, bottlenecks, and security challenges. Quantum AI, leveraging quantum superposition, entanglement, and advanced optimization algorithms, provides a transformative approach to managing high-density environments such as airports, transportation hubs, healthcare facilities, and smart cities. This chapter explores Quantum AI-powered predictive modeling, dynamic queue restructuring, and real-time crowd simulations, integrating IoT, edge computing, and digital twin technologies to enhance responsiveness and efficiency. Additionally, quantum-enhanced scheduling, reinforcement learning, and cryptographic security frameworks ensure seamless and secure deployment of AI-driven crowd management systems. By addressing technical, ethical, and infrastructural challenges, this chapter presents a comprehensive roadmap for implementing Quantum AI in intelligent crowd flow management, paving the way for next-generation urban mobility, public safety, and resource optimization.

Authors:   Key Laboratory of Animal Cell Biotechnology, National Institute of Animal Sciences, Hanoi, Vietnam, Nguyen Van Khanh
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of maturation media and duration on the in vitro maturation (IVM) of Cỏ goat oocytes for the in vitro production of Cỏ goat embryos. In Experiment 1, the highest percentage of matured oocytes and blastocyst rates were observed in the IVM medium consisting of tissue culture medium (TCM) 199 + 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) + 50 ng/mL follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) + 100 μM cysteamine + 10 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (EGF) + 100 units/mL penicillin G potassium + 0.1 mg/mL streptomycin sulphate (P < 0.05). In Experiment 2, Cỏ goat oocytes were cultured in the same IVM medium for 20, 22, and 24 h, respectively. The matured oocyte and blastocyst rates of the 20-h group were lower than those of the 22- and 24-h groups (61.56% vs. 76.81% and 73.48%; 13.76% vs. 24.75% and 24.72% respectively; P < 0.05), while there was no difference between the 22- and 24-h groups (P > 0.05). In conclusion, the TCM 199 medium supplemented with FCS, FSH, cysteamine, EGF, and a maturation duration of 22 or 24 h are suitable for the in vitro maturation and subsequent embryo development of Cỏ goat oocytes.
Bifurcation analysis of nonlinear probability model for resting potential and theoretical calculation of human ventricular myocardium elastic modulus
Authors: Qu Rui , Xia Xin
Published: February 2025

This paper focuses on the cardiac pulsation model. The first purpose is to explain the generation mechanism of myocardial resting potential from two aspects of nonlinear dynamics and physiology. The second objective is to establish the basic theoretical calculation method for ventricular muscle material parameters such as elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio and shear modulus. The physiological essence of resting potential is ion channel blocking reaction to mismatched ions, which can be described by the probability model of fully misaligned arrangement. The calculation of the elastic modulus of ventricular muscle is based on the stress distribution characteristics at the end of diastole and the modified Laplace’ law. The correctness and effectiveness of the misaligned arrangement probability model for resting potential, the modified Laplace’s law of cardiac diastole and the three-dimensional pressure equalization theory of cardiac systole are also proved in detail. A theoretical calculation method for ventricular muscle elastic modulus is established relying solely on echocardiography data instead of costly measurement methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The reference value for longitudinal elastic modulus of human ventricular muscle was calculated and compared with experimental data of isolated porcine heart. The echocardiography measurement method based on theoretical results may provide potential assistance for the initial screening and diagnosis of cardiogenic diseases as a routine physical examination item.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCEDURE OF THE SEMI- INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION OF 2,2-BIS (ETHYLFERROCENYL) PROPANE AS A CATALYST FOR COMPOSITE ROCKET FUELS
Authors: OBRADOVIC SUAD
Published: February 2025

Abstract:
2,2-bis ( ethylferrocenyl ) propane tecane is a derivative of ferrocene. It is obtained by a
process that includes three reactions: a) acetylation of ferrocene, b) reduction of
acetilylferocene to ethylferrocene and c) condensation of two molecules of ethyferrocene with
acetone. In the course of work, significant improvements were made to the procedure,
especially phase b), of the reduction of acetyferrocene to ethylferrocene. After detailed
laborattory tests of the reduction of acethylferrocene according to Clemmensens method, we
managed to define two variants of the reduction with an acceptable product yield. These
improvements have created a lot of preconditions for the semi-industrial production of 2,2 –
bis (ethylferrocenyl) propane. Key words: ferrocene, condensation, acetylation,

Examining The Gendered Aspects of Paternity Leave in Post-Conflict Situations: a Tribute to Deceased Males Country: Pakistan
Authors: Abid Qazi  , Rozina Afridi
Published: February 2025

War has a significant impact on both the development and negotiation of gender identities. Yet, it is still uncertain to what extent peace contributes to the preservation or restoration of the gender hierarchy in post-conflict environments. This study aims to develop a thorough understanding of the gender-related difficulties linked to the postwar commemoration of the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland. It achieves this by analyzing ethnographic fieldwork carried out from 2003 to 2006 and reviewing current literature on significant landscapes. Since the cessation of paramilitary activity in 1994, it is noteworthy that the landscapes that have been created (and, consequently, the current state of affairs) give priority to interpretations of historical events. Despite its inclusion in the 1998 Belfast Agreement, which aimed to resolve over three decades of ethno-nationalist conflict, achieving gender parity remains an elusive goal. The primary cause for this phenomenon is the persistent historical misconception that strengthens specific gender standards while seeming to serve the "national project. "The stories of women have been suppressed and fragmented as a result of the conflicting historical narratives projected onto the physical world by masculine ideologies linked with Irish nationalism/republicanism and British unionism/loyalism. This has resulted in a heightened dissemination and opacity of women's history. It is crucial to assess the possible contributions that women can make in shaping the future, given the current circumstances.

Middle Eastern Boundaries Crossed: The Organizational Legitimacy of International Research Partnerships
Authors: Izaz Khattak
Published: February 2025

There is a higher risk of increasing instability, guilt-related worries, and insufficient support when international scholars work together in an unstable environment. Involving stakeholders at various levels, both domestically and internationally, is crucial for these alliances to be politically and financially sustainable. This is relevant regardless of how big the coalitions are. This research looks at how peace efforts in the Middle East have been affected by the intricate stakeholder arrangements in a global academic health science network. To better meet the intellectual, structural, and political demands of different worldwide support organizations, the organizational structures within this cooperation are currently undergoing revisions. Nothing, however, has cast doubt on the veracity of international research or its value in promoting peace. In order to reduce organizational instability, deal with resource differences, and methodically build and repair links among stakeholder groups, this study examines the reconciliation strategies used by cooperative health researchers.

Empirical Observations and Interpersonal Engagements Ethnography
Authors: Abdullah khan  , Saqib Khattak
Published: February 2025

The geographical discipline is failing to capitalize on certain promising opportunities due to its ongoing neglect of ethnography. The discipline is profoundly harmed by the marginalization of ethnography, which offers unique insights into the motivations and processes that sustain social institutions. This neglect causes significant harm to the field. Landscapes are profoundly impacted and altered by the meanings and processes associated with the formation and transformation of specific localities, which differ from location to location. These processes and meanings significantly influence the formation and transformation of landscapes. As a result, ethnography provides a wealth of insights for geography researchers. There are three prevalent criticisms leveled against ethnography: its reliance on scientific principles, its inability to make generalizations, and its disregard for its own representational methods. These factors might potentially contribute to the elucidation of the frequent animosity observed towards ethnography within the academic sphere. It is essential to bear in mind, nevertheless, that incisive replies to these objections merely underscore the relevance of ethnography to the field of spatial studies.

Authors: Dr.  Nasir Mahmood  , Muhammad Adnan
Published: February 2025

The European Renaissance stands as a pivotal period in history, marking a transition from the medieval to the modern era. This epochal shift brought forth profound changes in various aspects of European society, including art, culture, science, philosophy, and politics. Understanding the causes and effects of the Renaissance is essential for comprehending the trajectory of European civilization and its eventual emergence into modernity. European Renaissance wasn't just a cultural revival but a fundamental shift in European thought. It challenged traditional authority, fostered critical thinking, and celebrated human potential. These developments became the building blocks of modernity, shaping the scientific, political, artistic, and religious landscape of the modern world. The effects of the Renaissance reverberated far beyond the borders of Europe, influencing developments across the globe. The exploration and colonization of distant lands expanded European horizons and facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and cultures on a global scale. The scientific revolution, which emerged in the wake of the Renaissance, transformed humanity's understanding of the natural world, laying the groundwork for modern science and technology. This Article delves into the intricate relationship between the European Renaissance (14th-16th centuries) and the rise of modernity. It analyzes the key causes of the Renaissance and explores how these factors fundamentally reshaped European society, paving the way for the development of the modern world and presents a concise analytical study of the factors that contributed to the Renaissance and its far-reaching impacts on European society.

Unraveling Hamlet's Psyche: Inner Demons and the Failure of Integration
Authors: Seema Rehman  , Salman Hamid Khan  , Samina Akhtar  , Syeda Javaria Bukhari
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the psychological underpinnings of Hamlet's tragic fate through a Jungian analysis of his internal conflict. Drawing upon Carl Jung's theories of the psyche, individuation and the shadow, the paper argues that Hamlet's failure to confront and integrate his unconscious elements contributes significantly to his indecisiveness and ultimate downfall. The analysis focuses on the manifestation of Hamlet's shadow, encompassing his repressed aggressive urges, unresolved grief, and Oedipal anxieties, within the text. Drawing upon close textual analysis of key scenes and soliloquies, the paper demonstrates how these unconscious forces disrupt Hamlet's conscious reasoning, fueling his existential anxieties, paralyzing his decision-making, and ultimately propelling him towards a tragic end. In doing so, this study not only offers a novel interpretation of Shakespeare's play through a Jungian lens but also contributes to the broader understanding of personality integration, the consequences of a disintegrated self, and the enduring psychological relevance of Jungian concepts in contemporary literary analysis.

Istnieją technologie wspomagające metody zarządzania ruchem: techniki bramkowania oddechowego, techniki wstrzymywania oddechu, metody wymuszonego płytkiego oddychania i techniki zsynchronizowane z oddychaniem do zarządzania ruchem oddechowym podczas leczenia radioterapią. Wprowadzenie takich metod pozwala na eskalacje dawki guza (lepsza kontrola miejscowa) przy jednoczesnym oszczędzaniu zdrowych tkanek (zmniejszając ryzyko powikłań spowodowanych skutkami ubocznymi). Ważne jest, aby zrozumieć, że ruch oddechowy zmienia się z dnia na dzień, a guz i normalne tkanki mogą zmieniać się geometrycznie i przesuwać w odpowiedzi na radioterapię i na inne równoczesne terapie. Tak więc ruch oddechowy jest jednym z wielu potencjalnych źródeł błędów w radioterapii. Jest to powód, dla którego technologia stosowana w praktyce radioterapii musi być precyzyjnie zidentyfikowana w ustalonych procesach i protokołach radioterapeutycznych, a zalety i wady, a także ograniczenia są bardzo dobrze zrozumiane przed wdrożeniem do praktyki klinicznej. Aby przetestować te technologie, zweryfikować podczas dozymetrii in vivo i symulować przypadki kliniczne oraz lokalizację targetu dla systemów bramkowania, potrzebne są fantomy dynamiczne, które symulują sygnał oddychania. Takie fantomy mogą wspierać skuteczne i kompleksowe testy akceptacyjne, dopuszczające do użytku klinicznego i rutynową kontrolę jakości, aby udowodnić odtwarzalność, powtarzalność i wydajność dla różnych scenariuszy klinicznych.
Bektashizmi si model dhe metaforë e Islamit Ballkanik
Authors: Rexhepi Piro
Published: February 2025

Ky studim shqyrton rolin e bektashizmit në kontekstin e Islamit Ballkanik, duke e analizuar atë si një formë të Islamit që shpreh ndërthurjen midis sufizmit dhe traditave lokale. Piro Rexhepi argumenton se bektashizmi nuk është vetëm një model fetar, por edhe një metaforë kulturore që simbolizon tolerancën dhe bashkëjetesën në një rajon të njohur për diversitetin e tij.

Më 25 gusht 2024, u nda nga jeta Prof. Dr. Genciana Abazi-Egro, një figurë e shquar në fushën e studimeve orientale dhe në albanologji. Kontributet e saj shkencore kanë lënë gjurmë në studimet akademike dhe në edukimin e gjeneratave të reja. Duhet theksuar se puna dhe veprat e saj janë pjesë e kurikulave të Departamentit të Orientalistikës në Universitetin e Prishtinës. Prof. Abazi-Egro do të kujtohet si një studiuese brilante e dijeve orientale, sidomos e shkrimeve shqipe me alfabet arab. Librat dhe studimet e saj do të vazhdojnë të jenë referencë për çdo studiues të kësaj fushe. Me këtë rast, redaksia e revistës Studime Orientale shpreh ngushëllimet më të sinqerta për familjen, miqtë dhe kolegët e saj. Sigurisht që humbja e saj ka krijuar një boshllëk të madh për komunitetin akademik të studimeve orientale, por trashëgimia e saj shkencore do të vazhdojë të mbetet udhërrëfyes për studiuesit e rinj dhe të ardhshëm. Në nder të figurës së saj, më poshtë sjellim një shkrim përkujtimor të Dr. Fatos Dibran-it, botuar në portalin peizazhe.com, i cili pasqyron jetën dhe veprën e vlefshme të Prof. Genciana Abazi-Egro.

Sami Frashëri për vrasjen e Mehmet Ali Pashës
Authors: Hamiti Abdulla
Published: February 2025

Për vrasjen e M. Ali Pashës, Sami Frashëri ka shkruar se shkak i kësaj tragjedie është kryesisht heroizmi i malësorëve dhe fakti se M. Ali Pasha nuk i kishte marrë parasysh kundërshtimet e tyre dhe nuk kishte vepruar me kujdes. Sami Frashëri e kundërshton vlerësimin që malësorët veprojnë në Gjakovë të jetë një kryengritje mbarëshqiptare e drejtuar drejt Perandorisë.Siç shihet nga këto dokumente, Samiu i jep lexuesit turk një vizion të qartë për gjendjen reale në krahinat shqiptare. Ai akuzon Mehmet Ali Pashën për pakujdesi dhe përpiqet të arsyetojë për veprimin e shqiptarëve zemërimin e tyre që shprehën ndaj Ali Pashës. Në të njëjtën kohë përpiqet të shprehë qëndrimin e Lidhjes Shqiptare duke u përpjekur të mbrojë territoret shqiptare duke përdorur forcën. Shtetet fqinje po përpiqeshin t'i merrnin këto rajone bazuar në bekimin që ata bënë në Kongresin e Berlinit. Ai kritikon Perandorinë Osmane për gjendjen e mjerueshme të shqiptarëve dhe për shitjen e territorit shqiptar për interesa të përkohshme.

Digital marketing is an important aspect in the development of MSMEs in Indonesia, especially in the era of rapid digitalization. Although many studies examine digital marketing strategies, there are still limited ones that apply a pluralistic theoretical approach in analyzing the success of MSME digital marketing. This research aims to analyze the success of digital marketing of MSMEs in Indonesia through Paul Feyerabend's pluralistic approach, focusing on understanding the flexibility and diversity of marketing strategies applied by MSME players. The main question to be answered is how MSMEs in Indonesia apply the pluralistic approach in digital marketing and what factors influence its success. This research uses a qualitative design with a case study approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews with MSME players who have implemented digital marketing. The results show that MSMEs in Indonesia tend to adopt a variety of different digital marketing strategies according to their market characteristics and consumer needs. The pluralistic approach allows flexibility in the use of various digital tools, although the main challenge lies in the limited digital resources and knowledge that are still an obstacle for most MSMEs. The conclusion of this study is that the implementation of digital marketing with a pluralistic approach can improve the marketing effectiveness of MSMEs, but requires further support in terms of education and facilities to maximize the potential of the digital market. The study suggests that MSMEs expand the use of more innovative and flexible digital marketing strategies, and urges the development of further research that examines the role of local context and other external factors.
