Residencing invitation poétics: a choreographic process
Authors: Moraes Janain
Published: January 2024

This research is a choreographic practice. It is a choreo-lingual exercise that dwells with notions of language, context and displacement as experiences of transition(ing). As a journey towards (and around) home, this trans-national study engages with logics and theoretical positions from Latin America alongside with Aotearoa (New Zealand). As part of my practice-led doctoral research, I propose a choreographic process that is crafted around the notion of an invitation poétics. In this practice, notions of host-guest relationships and the context of art residencies are the orientation devices for discussing issues on hospitality, the position of the “other” and counter-colonial approaches to dance practice, curationship and the locality of art/pedagogy. For this conference, I will focus on the discussion of Art residencies as curatorial terrains of be-longing, stepping into counter-colonial practices of curation. Valuing pluralist, poly relations that engage in response to a situated territory, I navigate with quilombola philosopher and quilombo historian Antonio Bispo dos Santos (2015) and Beatriz Nascimento (2018) to envision curatorial practices as experiences of confluence. To emphasise cura within the notion of curation is, amongst other things, to bring attention to care as the operative practice of election, one that operates less in the realms of selecting and vibrates more through the notions of healing and enchantment – curative exercises of making kin. I will share how, finding in art residencies a fertile ground for exploring invitation poétics, I have invited (and responded to invitations from) a range of people – amongst dancers, non-dancers, artists and non-artists – in extremely different contexts – schools, libraries, houses, churches, villages, studios, streets – and for disparate reasons, or with very distinct focuses – aesthetical, social, pedagogical and so on; and how these experiences led me to learn from notions of aquilombamento, provoking me to think of curatorial practices that value ecosystems of care, learning, experimenting, conversing and co-curating as a re:pairing practice that experiments through sensing belonging with place, time and relations through bio-interaction and cosmophilia.

Published: January 2024

Background: Seizure disorder is a global health concern which tends to be influenced by social and demographic factors. Objectives: This study assessed the influence of these factors on the various seizure aetiologies seen on a brain CT. Methods: Ethical clearance was obtained from the Federal Teaching Hospital Katsina and then the retrospective study of 442 brain CT images with positive findings of seizure aetiologies from December 2019 to August 2021 was performed. The socio-demographic parameters of the patients were retrieved from the patients’ records. Results: The seizure aetiologies that dominated the study were ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral atrophy, skull fracture and traumatic brain injury with 81 (18 %), 60 (14 %), 55 (12 %), 41 (9 %) and 43 (10 %) respectively. The first decade of life recorded the highest frequency of seizure aetiologies, there was a decline in the second decade and then the frequency of etiologies increased with the increase in age. There was male gender preponderance with 65%. The Hausa ethnic group dominated the study with 93% of the total subjects. The frequency distributions of urban and rural dwellers were 60% and 40% respectively. Twenty per cent of the total subjects were housewives with stroke comprising 52% of their seizure aetiologies. Conclusion: Chi-square (at 95% CI) showed that there was a statistically significant dependence between the frequencies of brain CTdiagnosed seizure aetiologies with age, gender and occupation but not geographical location. Due to the high frequency of stroke, it is recommended that special attention should be given, especially among housewives.
Del “Paradgima del Dominio” a la “Comunidad de La Creación”:
Authors: Aguirre González Andoni , Casas Andrés Roberto
Published: January 2024

El concepto teológico de Encarnación Profunda (no muy extendido en nuestro entorno, y acuñado en 2001 por el teólogo luterano danés Niels Henrik Gregersen) puede ayudar a los cristianos (y a los seres humanos en general) a articular su relación con el mundo natural. Todo ello en el marco de una acuciante crisis ecológica que ha levantado grandes alarmas y despertado la sensibilidad de muchos cristianos en relación con la naturaleza, con la publicación de Laudato Sí’ por parte de Francisco, en 2015 como hito fundamental.

Gregersen afirma que cuando el Hijo se encarna en Jesús de Nazaret como ser humano existe un plano más profundo en el que hemos de ver dicha encarnación: en el marco biológico y material del mundo natural, en el que el ser humano es una especie no aislada del resto, sino plenamente relacionada con toda la Creación tanto en el marco de la evolución como en el de las interacciones entre especies que hacen posible la vida. Y esta Encarnación Profunda tiene implicaciones a efectos de la plenificación y transfiguración de toda la Creación en Cristo (no sólo de la humanidad), y de la relación del ser humano con el resto de miembros de la misma.

Authors: Hassan Naser Abed , Ahmed Hassan Ali , Mohammed Akram Khalaf
Published: January 2024

Large areas of soil in Iraq are formed up of gypsum soil. As a result, understanding the habits of this soil and its treatment approach is critical, because its current solution is to replace gypsum soil before beginning any building activity. This study used gypsum soil from Tikrit City, which has a gypsum concentration that is around 38%, and the goal of the study is to illustrate the impact of the polymer on the gypsum soil parameters. Simultaneously, researchers are investigating the beneficial effects of polymers on the behavior of gypsum soil. The percentages of the polymer additive (5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, and 15%) were weight percentages, while the soil tests were chemical, physical, and engineering. When the percentage of additive was increased from 0% to 15%, Soil engineering characteristics enhanced the collapse of the from 5.11 to 1.21, cohesion improved from (28.98 KN/m2) to (51.16 KN/m2), and angles of internal friction decreased from 33.190 to 38.850.

Published: January 2024

Environmental contamination increased as a result of the extensive use of fossil fuels, large-scale industrialization, and population growth. It has become an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions for environmental sustainability. The revolution in renewable energy may be the best option for lowering carbon emissions. In this research, rice straw was considered as a possible wellspring of bioenergy production. The aim of the study is to determine the best way to use biomass by comprehending its thermal qualities. Several state-of-the-art techniques were used to characterize the rice straws to understand their potential as a solid fuel for clean energy production. Elemental analysis reveals the predominance of carbon and oxygen content while nitrogen and sulfur are minor constituents in the studied rice straws. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis suggested the presence of cellulosic and ligneous constituents. Pyrolysis is one of the appropriate choices to make esteem expansion and contributes to biomass utilization. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analyses revealed that rice straw pyrolysis has occurred in three distinct stages i.e., dehydration, active pyrolysis, and passive pyrolysis. The differential thermogravimetric graph (DTG) depicts how the temperature peak at the greatest weight loss shifts as the heating rate rises. Based on the characterization and subsequent analysis, it can be concluded that rice straw is a critical biomass and suitable to be used in clean energy production and maintain environmental sustainability.
THE USE OF REQUESTS IN PANDEMIC PRESS RELEASES. A CROSS-CULTURAL CASE STUDY
Authors: APREUTESEI Alina Alexandra
Published: January 2024

The current paper presents an analysis of the realisation of requests in three European linguacultures - British English, Spanish, and Romanian - as expressed in weekly press releases during the Covid-19 pandemic. A comparative study that looks into the Request Speech Act, more precisely into its various forms of expression and its conventional realisation patterns, was conducted according to a cross-cultural pragmatic analysis framework. The conclusive observations underline the fact that each linguaculture constructs a culture-bound pattern for the realisation of the Request Speech Act, despite certain similarities explicable due to common origins or global linguistic influences.

Authors: De Cara Bruna Ester Dias , Tan Daisy Naomi , Oliveira-Alves Sheila , Prado Marcelo Alexandre , Schmidt Flávio Luís
Published: January 2024

Purpose: Compare certain steps of strawberry jam processing, energy consumption, waste generation, as well as indicators of jam quality obtained through industrial and homemade methods.
 
Method/design/approach: The jams were prepared in the fruit and vegetable laboratory as well as in the pilot plant. The bottling process involved hot sealing in glass jars with metal lids. After sealing, the jars were inverted, cooled, and stored at -18 °C until analysis. The ingredients used included high methoxyl pectin, citric acid, sucrose, and fresh acidic lemon juice. The analysis included the use of various chemicals such as methanol, sodium acetate, potassium chloride, hydrochloric acid, NaOH, ascorbic acid, dihydrated oxalic acid, and 2,6-dichloroindophenol.
 
Results and conclusion: The study examined industrial, semi-industrial, and homemade jams, highlighting changes in color parameters and losses of anthocyanins and ascorbic acid over time. Homemade jams exhibited greater variations in both color and processing. Strawberry pre-processing and water consumption differed between industrial and homemade productions, with a higher disposal rate observed in industrial production. The yield of industrial jams remained consistently above 90%, whereas homemade jams showed variations. Energy consumption was higher in homemade jams, making the industrial process more energy-efficient. Industrial vacuum processing provided advantages such as lower temperatures, reduced sensible heat, and minimized chemical changes, but it necessitated more expensive and maintenance-intensive equipment.
 
Originality/value: In contemporary discourse, there has been substantial censure directed towards industrialized foods in recent years, with a considerable portion lacking a rigorous scientific foundation. This study contributes by presenting findings that facilitate the discernment of advantages stemming from both industrial and artisanal processes, contingent upon the availability of requisite technical knowledge.

Published: January 2024

Objective:
To evaluate the relationship between a high-fat diet and obesity with the prevalence of precocious puberty (PP) in Saudi Arabia.
Methods:
This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at Children\'s Caregivers in Saudi Arabia between June and August, 2023. Data were collected through a pre-validated and translated self-administered electronic questionnaire among parents/caregivers and children diagnosed with PP.
Results:
A total of 149 participants (95 parents/caregivers and 54 children) were eligible for this study. Around 56.8% children diagnosed with PP were younger than 10 years. The common causes for PP were family history (33.7%), weight increase (20%), malnutrition (16.8%), pituitary gland diseases (23%), thyroid disorders (47.4%), and chronic diseases (9.5%). High-fat diet (68.1%; p = 0.049) and obesity (53.2%; p = 0.049) were the significant primary risk factors for early pubertal development. Other significant risk factors associated with PP were consumption of artificial foods (25.5%; p = 0.049) and pituitary gland diseases (45.7%; p = 0.049). Fast food (52.6%) was the leading food type consumed by children diagnosed with PP. Further, fried foods (47.4%), canned products (34.7%), flavoured juice and milk (36.8%), and homemade juice/milk (30.5%) were also associated with PP development due to obesity and a high-fat diet. Moreover, 25.3% participants had good knowledge about PP in children.
Conclusion:
This study showed that PP is a common endocrine problem in Saudi Arabia, with a poor understanding of its prevalence. The type of foods consumed and children\'s obese status were the significant and leading risk factors in PP prevalence.

Published: January 2024

Data providing a well-structured plan for early detection and ideal follow-up protocols for urethral recurrence post radical cystectomy for bladder urothelial carcinoma are scattered across articles and have not been emphasized in the core of the literature. This literature review aims to provide an overview of the most recent data concerning all aspects of urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy, with a particular focus on surveillance and ideal follow-up protocols for early detection. Data on patients who had urethral recurrence after radical cystectomy for bladder urothelial carcinoma between 1990 and 2023 were collected and analyzed. Out of 277 studies, 50 were included. Exclusion criteria included patients with primary urethral malignancy, pediatric patients, patients with upper urinary tract involvement, and studies before 1990.Surveillance should be individualized according to each patient\'s specific risk factors. Patients were classified into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups based on these defined factors. Patients without symptoms and those at low risk should receive regular check-ups without urethral cytology. Intermediate and high-risk patients should have follow-ups every 3-6 months, which include urethral wash cytology, and if the cytology results are positive, urethroscopy is performed. Our study highlights that tailored surveillance is the key to early detection of urethral recurrence post radical cystectomy for bladder urothelial carcinoma, which, in turn, substantially improves prognostic outcomes as well as the quality of life in these patients.
A novel homozygous mutation in the USP53 gene as the cause of benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis in children: a case report
Authors: Ateş Burcu Berberoğlu , Ceylan Ahmet Cevdet , Hızal Gülin , Duran Fatih , Doğan Hayriye Tatlı , Hızlı Şamil
Published: January 2024

Background. Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare cause of cholestasis with recurrent episodes of jaundice and pruritus without extrahepatic bile duct obstruction. A mutation in the USP53 gene is known to cause BRIC-like cholestasis with normal serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels.
Case. We report a 16-year-old boy with recurrent episodes of cholestasis since 6 months of age with normal serum GGT levels. The liver biopsy showed ballooning degeneration of hepatocytes which is typical for BRIC, and intrahepatic and canalicular cholestasis with bilirubinostasis. We performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and identified a novel homozygous variant (NM_001371399.1:c.1558C > T) of the USP53 gene at exon 14 as the cause of BRIC.
Conclusion. This is the first case of USP53 disease from Türkiye with a novel mutation in the USP53 gene. This novel identification of the mutation of c.1558C > T at exon 14 can provide elucidative data for those who work in the field of intrahepatic cholestasis. Our case suggests that USP53 disease must be kept in mind in patients with recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis with normal serum GGT levels.

The Emergence and Evolution of the Term "Judicial Management"
Authors: Abdulin Robert Semenovich
Published: January 2024

The object of the article's research is the process of the emergence and development of the concept of "judicial management". The subject of the study is the formation of the judicial management system and the evolutionary development of terms denoting such management. The author summarizes and systematizes theoretical knowledge on the formation and development of the concept of "judicial management", explores the terminological features and principles of modern judicial management. All this made it possible to objectively assess the process of formation and development of judicial management, to see its new facets, the categorical apparatus reflecting the content of the concept of "judicial management". The author is convinced that the theoretical understanding of the formation of the term "judicial management" has a practical effect not only for the subjects of law enforcement activity, but also for the legislator. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that the article conducts a comprehensive interdisciplinary study in which, through the prism of the formation of the institute of judicial management, the formation of the terminological base of judicial management and its historical correlation is shown. On the concrete historical material, the emergence of the first terms denoting judicial management is determined, the formation and its development of the terminological system of judicial management is shown.The main scientific methods of researching the topic of the article were historical–legal and formal-logical methods with the help of which the characteristic properties of such a phenomenon were known as "judicial management". In addition, to achieve this goal, a set of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, structural-system method) and private scientific methods were used.
Actor modeling of real-time cognitive systems: ontological basis and software-mathematical implementation
Authors: Zelenskii Aleksandr Aleksandrovich , Gribkov Andrei Armovich
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of increasing the reliability of modeling of cognitive systems, to which the authors refer not only human intelligence, but also artificial intelligence systems, as well as intelligent control systems for production, technological processes and complex equipment. It is shown that the use of cognitive systems for solving control problems causes very high rapidity requirements for them. These requirements combined with the necessity to simplify modeling methods as the modeling object becomes more complex determine the choice of an approach to modeling cognitive systems. Models should be based on the use of simple algorithms in the form of trend detection, correlation, as well as (for solving intellectual problems) on the use of algorithms based on the application of various patterns of forms and laws. In addition, the models should be decentralized. An adequate representation of decentralized systems formed from a large number of autonomous elements can be formed within the framework of agent-based models. For cognitive systems, two models are the most elaborated: actor and reactor models. Actor models of cognitive systems have two possible realizations: as an instrumental model or as a simulation. Both implementations have the right to exist, but the possibilities of realizing a reliable description when using the tool model are higher, because it provides incommensurably higher rapidity, and also assumes variability of the modeled reality. The actor model can be realized by means of a large number of existing programming languages. The solution to the problem of creating simulative actor models is available in most languages that work with actors. Realization of instrumental actor models requires rapidity, which is unattainable in imperative programming. In this case, the optimal solution is to use actor metaprogramming. Such programming is realizable in many existing languages.
Pain and Wound Management in Fungating Merkel Cell Carcinoma within a Palliative Setting: The First Case Report of this Predicament
Authors: Mohan Shaan , Khan Ahmad
Published: January 2024

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare type of skin cancer of the neuroendocrine Merkel mechanoreceptors. These cells are closely associated with nerve terminals and, given their proximity to cutaneous tissue, have the propensity to develop into deeply ulcerated, fungating malignancies. These friable wounds are easily irritated, and can cause significant pain for patients. We report a palliative case of severe, fungating MCC of the left scalp where the main contributor to the patient’s illness burden is pain. Having been referred to palliative care by the Tissue Viability team, this 90-year-old gentleman was complaining of episodic burning pain during dressing changes, which was associated with radiation to the forehead, nausea, and significant trait anxiety. It was theorised that this pain could be in part due to tension headache, not just nociception, and anticipatory lorazepam was prescribed to relieve trait anxiety. All symptoms were majorly relieved following this administration. A specialist dressing was implemented to absorb exudate and balance moisture, which we believe may have stopped further deterioration of pain. Overall, this report emphasises the need to consider alternative pain aetiologies other than nociception in a presentation that is not found in the literature.

Based on data of the Federal Tax Service, the effectiveness of the process of paying property taxes on individuals to the budget in the regions of the Volga Federal District was assessed. This assessment was based on the analysis of the degree of the set goals achievement in the formation of budget revenues. The following types of public finances effectiveness are considered: a) budgetary, which determines the filling of the budget; b) social, aimed at observing the principles of social justice in society; c) dynamic, which demonstrates the dynamics and trends in the development of taxation processes; d) investment, which considers the missed potential opportunities for regional budgets replenishment. An analysis of the relationship between the growth rates of property taxes, the gross regional product (hereinafter referred to as GRP) and the rates of the real disposable income of the population was made. It is concluded that the rates of tax revenue to the budget outstrips the growth rates of GRP and significantly outstrips the rates of real disposable income of the population, which tends to decline. That indicates an increase in the tax burden for the population and an increase of socio-economic inequality in society.

Published: January 2024

The current work is relevant due to the existence of problems in the food industry that are directly related to hazards presented at the earliest stages in the production. For the consumer, to maintain his physical health when eating is of great importance, and for the manufacturer, this is a matter of economic well-being through the production and supply of safe products for consumption. The purpose of the study was to develop suggestions focused on the use of an extended risk-based approach in the format of a food safety management system. If а systematic analysis of the most significant risk-based technologies is applied, it will allow to build a workable and effective protection system and minimise losses from impact of dangerous factors on an organisation’s processes. The authors studied the most interesting international and domestic standards that address the problem of reducing risks and hazards for food industry enterprises, and chose the most effective methods that complement each other. A logically built four-stage model of risk treatment at the operational and organisational levels of the enterprise and recommendations for expanding the risk-based approach in the food safety management system are the results of the work.

The ramifications of global climate change and resource scarcities have made it imperative to re-examine the definition of sustainable energy-storage systems. It is crucial to recognize that not all renewable resources are inherently sustainable, and their full impact on the environment must be assessed. With the proliferation of invasive jellyfish species wreaking havoc on marine ecosystems and economies worldwide, utilizing overabundant jellyfish as a carbon source presents an opportunity to create energy-storage systems that are both financially beneficial and environmentally remediating. Accordingly, a comprehensive approach to sustainability requires eco-friendly solutions throughout the entire lifecycle, from material sourcing to battery production, without compromising high-performance requirements. For commercial lithium-ion batteries, most electrode syntheses employed today are energy-intensive, multiple-steps, complex, and additives-heavy; this work pioneers the elegant straightforward use of low-energy laser irradiation of jellyfish biomass carbon precursors embedded with electrochemically active material for the creation of additive-free whole composite anodes, as opposed to use of subsequent additional processes for creation of composites. Here, a laser-induced conductive 3D porous carbon composite thin anode from raw jellyfish biomass embedded with silicon nanoparticles is presented for the first time. The first jellyfish-based LIBs display outstanding cyclic stability (>1000 cycles), excellent capacity retention (>50% retention after 1000 cycles), exceptional coulombic efficiency (>99%), superb reversible gravimetric capacity (>2000 mAh/g) and high rate performance capability (>1.6 A/g), paving a new path to future sustainable energy production.

This study aims to use an ethnolinguistic viewpoint and a phenomenological approach to explain the meaning of linguistic units in the Javanese Temanggung dialect. This is in line with the theory of language relativity put forward by Humbolt thesis of language relativity, which claims that there is a link between society, language, and culture, and that each language includes a unique world view. The core data in this study are the linguistic expressions in Basa Temanggungan video, and the secondary data are key informant confirmation and verification results regarding the meaning of lingual units found in the video.The findings suggest that language expressions can describe people's local knowledge based on their culture. The term usel, for example, refers to donated money that is wrapped in a little envelope and given to the host when attending a celebration. It is termed usel because it is offered to the host by slipping it into the host’s hand. The habit of small chat is still very prominent in Javanese society, the host receives the donation with small conversation as if he were about to decline it, forcing the giver to push the host to accept it by tucking it in. The word usel is only used by Temanggung people, not by individuals from other communities.

Uma análise da guerra Hezbollah-Israel de 2006 à luz da teoria clausewitiziana
Authors: Cheaito Karime , Violante Alexandre Rocha
Published: January 2024

A pesquisa tem como objetivo realizar uma análise da guerra Hezbollah-Israel, ocorrida entre julho e agosto de 2006, sob o prisma teórico-conceitual de Clausewitz, presente em On War (1989), com foco nas concepções de: objetivos políticos; guerra limitada e ilimitada; atacantes e defensores políticos, estratégicos e táticos; vantagem da espera e da posição; e dissuasão. Partindo de um panorama histórico, discorre-se sobre as causas da guerra e como Israel e Hezbollah desenvolveram e aplicaram seus objetivos políticos, suas estratégias e táticas, chegando, ao fim, em um breve balanço final no pós-guerra. Conclui-se que Israel demonstrou diversas falhas nos campos estratégicos e táticos, fato este que resultou no Comitê de Winograd e em diversas pesquisas feitas por israelenses e estadunidenses, civis e militares, e que o Hezbollah, embora aparentemente tenha sido mais bem-sucedido em seus objetivos políticos e na implementação da sua estratégia de guerra, enfrenta atualmente fortes críticas no interior do Líbano.
