Biographical Study of Johannes Virolainen and Transnational Politics of the Cold War
Authors: Katajisto Kati
Published: December 2023

This article explores how a systematic study of a person’s life can be revealing of larger political processes, for instance the dynamics between states and political actors during the Cold War period. The biographical method utilised in this article – the study of Finnish long-term politician Johannes Virolainen’s archive – enables the discerning of illogical and contradictory features in the behaviour of the Soviet Union. The article highlights multipolar-multilevel interactions of the Cold War: 1) how the Soviet Union could not ignore medium level political actors from small states, such as Virolainen, and 2) how the balance between Cold War blocs in Europe was truly a conundrum for the Soviet Union, which created interesting scopes of action for political actors.

Authors: García Rodríguez Ana M , Sánchez Velasco Miguel J , Marcos Campos Luis , Pesquera Barón Roberto
Published: December 2023

Objetivos: Estudiar la rentabilidad de la aplicación de la técnica infiltrativa de plasma autólogo rico en plaquetas (PRP) en Atención Primaria (AP).
Métodos: Se realiza estudio de costes directos e indirectos, los costes evitados y el coste final o resultado esperable, derivados de la aplicación de la técnica infiltrativa con PRP realizada en AP y en Atención Especializada (AE). El coste del proceso completo efectuado desde AP con vía de funcionamiento y precios establecidos por el Servicio Extremeño de Salud (SES) y su comparación con el coste del proceso completo efectuando las infiltraciones desde AE, incluye los precios de las diferentes consultas. Al proceso hay que sumarle los gastos de desplazamiento, el tiempo empleado y el coste de oportunidad por los retrasos en el tratamiento, derivado de la demora por las listas de espera.
Resultados: Los costes directos generados difieren en 7,75€ a favor de AP. El coste neto, es decir, costes médicos directos – costes ahorrados (analgesia+ fisioterapia + Incapacidad Temporal) suponen un ahorro en torno a los 251 € en el primer mes, de 4281€ al 5º mes y de 10.576€ al año.
Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que a pesar de que los costes directos generados son similares en una aplicación tanto en un nivel asistencial como en el otro, los costes indirectos (baja productividad), más los costes intangibles (insatisfacción), más los costes evitados (analgesia), más los costes directos no sanitarios (desplazamiento) inclinan la balanza hacia su introducción en AP para una aplicación precoz, en una patología como la gonartrosis sintomática, que mantiene una prevalencia de más del 10 % de media en la población española y con una técnica como las infiltraciones PRP, que han demostrado mejorar la función articular, disminuir el dolor y retrasar la colocación de la prótesis de rodilla.

Generative script capacity in the so-called the Masurian saga
by Małgorzata Kalicińska
Authors: Bolińska Marta
Published: December 2023

Wprowadzenie. Od początku XXI wieku zarówno w przestrzeni społecznej (publicznej), jak i w literaturze najnowszej zainteresowanie potrzebami osób w jesieni życia przeżywa renesans. Wyrazem tego jest m.in. generatywność (życiodajność) rozumiana przede wszystkim jako troska o przyszłe pokolenia (nierzadko stanowi też formę opieki nad sobą i przyszłością osób w otoczeniu). Jednym z przejawów generatywności jest uaktywnienie tzw. skryptu generatywnego w narracji. Przykład tak skonstruowanej opowieści spotykamy m.in. w trylogii Małgorzaty Kalicińskiej (Dom nad rozlewiskiem, 2006; Powroty nad rozlewiskiem, 2007; Miłość nad rozlewiskiem, 2008). Postacią, w kreacji której skrypt
generatywny ma niebagatelne znaczenie, jest Barbara, matka Małgorzaty. Cel. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu przedstawienie kategorii generatywności w literaturze współczesnej, zwłaszcza tej o charakterze sagi rodzinnej. Szczególnie wyraźnie zostaną zaakcentowane teoretyczne i praktyczne aspekty wdrażania generatywności w proces narracji osoby w jesieni życia. Tekst jest także zachętą do regularnego prowadzenia badań na temat zjawiska generatywności w literaturze, których na polskim gruncie wciąż brakuje. Wyniki. Artykuł unaocznia, że tzw. zjawisko generatywności podejmowane jest na wiele sposobów. Ujawnia się ono m.in. w procesie narracji prowadzonej z perspektywy osób z doświadczeniem życiowym, które zostały dotknięte syndromem Gauguina. Trzy bohaterki opowieści znad rozlewiska (Bronisława, Barbara, Małgorzata) dzielą się swymi przeżyciami, obserwacjami, przemyśleniami (uaktywniając skrypt generatywny), okazując m.in. troskę o rodzinę i sąsiadów, ale też wskazują, jakie znaczenie (i konsekwencje) ma umiejętne opiekowanie się sobą i podążanie za własnymi potrzebami.
Polish as a social language of a child from a migrant family. Report from the pilot research involving nursery school caregivers from Poznań
Authors: Kuszak Kinga , Sadowska Katarzyna
Published: December 2023

Wprowadzenie. W Polsce wśród dzieci potrzebujących dodatkowego wsparcia edukacyjnego znajdują się dzieci imigrantów, uchodźców, reemigrantów, dzieci pochodzące z rodzin dwukulturowych, z mniejszości narodowych i etnicznych. Do najczęściej występujących problemów, z którymi mierzą się najmłodsi migranci, należą bariery językowe. Język polski jest obcy dla dzieci porozumiewających się w środowisku domowym innym językiem. Cel badań. W literaturze brakuje badań dotyczących komunikacji z małym dzieckiem w języku innym niż domowy. Istniejące badania i opracowania odnoszą się do edukacji w zakresie języka obcego dzieci starszych. Celem badań jest zatem weryfikacja sposobu postrzegania komunikacji z małym dzieckiem otoczonym w środowisku domowym językiem innym niż język polski przez osoby pracujące w żłobkach. Celem jest także próba określenia, jakie są sposoby udzielania wsparcia w komunikacji w języku innym niż język domowy dziecka. Metody. Autorki wybrały metodę sondażu diagnostycznego. Badanie sondażowe zrealizowano przed wybuchem pandemii COVID-19, przy wykorzystaniu kwestionariusza ankiety. Wzięło w nim udział 136 nauczycielek zatrudnionych w żłobkach. Reprezentowane były wszystkie żłobki publiczne z terenu Poznania. Wyniki. W wyniku przeprowadzonego badania określono, jakie trudności w procesie komunikacji z dzieckiem funkcjonującym w środowisku domowym w języku innym niż język polski wskazują osoby zatrudnione w żłobkach. Ustalono także, że opiekunki porozumiewają się z dziećmi przede wszystkim w języku polskim, a stosowane przez nie rozwiązania są w dużej mierze intuicyjne. Wnioski. Wśród wniosków należy przede wszystkim wskazać, że nie ma do tej pory rozwiązań systemowych dotyczących wspierania rozwoju komunikacji dzieci do trzeciego roku życia pochodzących z innych obszarów kulturowych. Opiekunki, w trosce o dobro dzieci, poszukują samodzielnie różnorodnych rozwiązań, są one jednak często doraźne i niewystarczające.

Selected aspects of attachment parenting in the opinion of college students
Authors: Turska Elżbieta , Nowak Joanna
Published: December 2023

Cel. Celem artykułu jest poznanie i zaprezentowanie opinii studentów na temat wybranych aspektów rodzicielstwa bliskości. Zagadnienie to jest istotne nie tylko z perspektywy indywidualnych losów, lecz ma także wymiar ogólnospołeczny. Im więcej świadomych, zdrowych zachowań rodzicielskich, tym zdrowsze społeczeństwo. Szczegółowe problemy badawcze postawione w pracy dotyczyły tego, jakie są opinie badanych osób na temat przygotowania do rodzicielstwa, jak respondenci oceniają przytulanie dziecka w relacji rodzic-dziecko, jakie są opinie badanych studentów dotyczące pozytywnej dyscypliny oraz jaka jest wiedza respondentów dotycząca zagrożeń związanych z dotykiem.
Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzono metodą sondażu diagnostycznego w grupie 124 studentów Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego. Wyniki. Uzyskane wyniki badań wskazują na niski poziom wiedzy respondentów dotyczący znaczenia stymulacji dotykowej dla rozwoju dziecka. Brak potrzeby edukacji w obszarze rodzicielstwa oraz brak chęci i gotowości do przygotowania się do roli ojca wyrażone w opiniach badanych mężczyzn można spostrzegać jako duży problem społeczny. Niepokojący jest także brak akceptacji dla pozytywnej dyscypliny przy jednoczesnej aprobacie kar fizycznych wyrażony przez ponad połowę respondentów płci męskiej.

Authors: Tahniyat Ali Seyyada , Aziz Khalid , Rafique Umer , Faisal Fahim Muhammad , Mannan Abdul , Tul Firdous Warda
Published: December 2023

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is commonly observed in athletes, especially those engaged in sports involving repetitive wrist activities. The role of the Palmaris Longus Muscle (PLM) in the development of CTS has been a subject of interest due to its anatomical location.
Objective: To examine the correlation between the presence or absence of the PLM and the incidence of CTS among badminton players.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 258 badminton players aged 18-23 years were assessed. Players with a history of carpal tunnel release surgery were excluded. The presence of the PLM was evaluated using Schaeffer’s test, while Phalen’s test was used to diagnose CTS. Statistical analysis involved chi-square tests to determine the association between PLM and CTS.
Results: Of the participants, 193 (74.8%) had a positive Schaeffer’s test (indicating the presence of PLM), and of these, 72 (37.3%) also had a positive Phalen’s test (indicative of CTS). Conversely, among the 65 (25.2%) with a negative Schaeffer’s test, only 10 (15.4%) had a positive Phalen’s test. The chi-square analysis yielded a P-value of 0.001, indicating a statistically significant association between the presence of PLM and the occurrence of CTS.
Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between the presence of the Palmaris Longus Muscle and the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in badminton players. These findings underscore the importance of considering anatomical variations in PLM during the assessment and management of CTS in athletes.

Kathu is a densely populated and rapidly urbanizing district in Phuket City, Phuket Island in Thailand. Urban growth is accelerating demand for groundwater, with water scarcity expected to become a serious problem in the future. This study characterizes the subsurface hydrogeological conditions in Kathu to assess this groundwater problem situation. Groundwater data were collected from boreholes to better understand the historical context of variations in groundwater levels, along with the properties of aquifer, such as aquifer thickness, in the region. The Cooper-Jacob distance-drawdown method was used to estimate the transmissivity (T) and storativity (S) of each well, which was then mapped using a GIS overlay method to estimate groundwater potential. A close correlation between T and the specific capacity (SPC) of each well was observed with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.983. The highest T, S and groundwater potential were observed in Kathu sub-district in the eastern part of Kathu. The results for groundwater potential show good agreement with those of Charoenpong et al. (2012), whereas the present study is more detailed and accurate. Thus, the method used in this study has been verified as viable for reliably estimating groundwater potential.
Managing change: The policy implications of constraints to ICT adoption within Cambodian Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Ratana SOM , Raksmey CHAN , Danut DUMITRASCU
Published: December 2023

An assessment of information and communication technology (ICT) adoption within Cambodian higher education institutions (HEIs) identified inefficiencies in existing top-down ICT policy frameworks. This paper outlines a complementary pathway of bottom-up policy development within HEIs to improve this situation. While recommending that the MoEYS focuses on creating a conducive environment (for change management), this paper also advocates for the leaders of HEIs to establish supportive policies informed by the science of change management. For these policies to be practical, they need to be iterative, stemming from previously successful, contextual models of change that are responsive to resource constraints. This may result in practices that are more sustainable than those that are externally funded, and build the trust required for effective ICT adoption to occur.

Livelihoods comprise capabilities, assets and activities for a means of living and are considered to be sustainable if they can cope with and recover from shocks and stresses (Chambers & Conway, 1992; Chambers 1995; Vercillo, 2016). They are complex, multidimensional, temporal and context-specific (Chambers, 1983; 2012; Nair, 2013; Scoones, 2015). As Scoones (2015, p.34) asserts: “it is not easy to get a handle on what is going on, for whom, where and why.” Hence, Chambers (1995; 1997) likens rural people to foxes that prey on different species in different ways. While livelihoods remain at the core of rural development practice, academic debate about their intricate nature is waning (Scoones, 2009). Yet, a continued critique of livelihoods thinking in the realm of both rural and urban development is justified. In his 2015 book: Sustainable Livelihoods and Rural Development, Ian Scoones revives the debate about sustainable livelihoods (Scoones, 2015). He always champions the inclusion of livelihoods perspectives in rural development thinking and practice (Vercillo, 2016). Scoones’ scholarly work on livelihoods traces back to his empirical study in Zimbabwe, drawing broader conclusions about farming livelihoods in dryland Africa (Scoones, 1996). Since this time, Scoones’ contribution to knowledge about livelihoods and development has been significant. This article highlights and evaluates the contribution of his 2015 book to livelihoods perspectives and rural development. The article also provides recommendations about how livelihoods insights may continue to be used in the eradication of rural poverty in developing countries.
Analyzing the readability of Khmer language textbooks.
Authors: Bunlot KHOY
Published: December 2023

Textbooks play a vital role in the process of teaching and learning, especially in education systems where they are the only resources available to teachers and students. Despite this indispensable role, textbooks in Cambodia have ongoing problems concerning their content and design. This paper analyzes the readability of passages in Khmer textbooks (Flesch, 1948); Kincaid et al., 1975, as cited in DuBay, 2004. Reading passages were extracted from the Grade 3, Grade 6 and Grade 9 Khmer textbooks published by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. It was found that the readability of these textbooks was not in line with the reading level of students. For instance, on average, 20 words per sentence were used, which is equivalent to a Grade 10 level (Flesch, 1975). Further, while the number of words and sentences did not significantly vary across the three grade levels, the number of syllables and words did. These findings have implications for publishers and authors when designing reading passages in textbooks if they are to have an appropriate level of readability for their intended users at each grade level.
Sustainable livelihoods analysis in the Tonle Sap Lake and its floodplain, Cambodia
Authors: Doeur BORN , Senglong YOUK
Published: December 2023

Tonle Sap Lake is the largest body of freshwater in Southeast Asia, benefiting millions of Cambodians. Yet, the lake is under increasing pressure, causing great concern for hundreds of communities depending on the bounty of its natural resources. This research analyzed types of employment, sustainable livelihood, and provision mechanisms in the fishing communities in Tonle Sap Lake. Household surveys were deployed to collect quantitative data from 505 households, and participatory approaches were applied to collect qualitative data through key informants and group discussions. The research findings supported four main conclusions. First, agricultural jobs remained the dominant mode of employment for the villagers in the communities surrounding the Tonle Sap, followed by fishing. For example, fishing was the mode of work for (33.7%), rice farming for (24.2%), and horticulture for (11.7%). Fishery and rice farming played an essential role in daily livelihoods. Second, however, the villagers' livelihoods were not yet fully sustainable. Their daily income per capita (9,199.7 Khmer Riels) was not significantly lower or higher than the rural poverty line (8,908 Khmer Riels), at t (504) = 0.499, P = 0.618. Moreover, their daily income was significantly lower than the national poverty line (10,951 Khmer Riels) set by the Ministry of Planning in 2021, at t (504) = -2.997, P = 0.003. Third, the villagers’ livelihoods were constrained by limited access to the five livelihood assets, specifically, professional skills and social assets, support mechanisms to create alternative livelihoods, and local livelihood strategies. Fourth, the existing support mechanisms do not function to improve access to the five assets and engender local strategies for reducing vulnerabilities. Some suggestions are given to enhance sustainable livelihoods related to increased access to the five assets. Access to the five assets for sustainable livelihoods is required to establish robust support mechanisms for all the key stakeholders, which include government agencies, NGOs, and communities. Alternative livelihoods were found to be a viable option to decrease the burden on natural resources and improve sustainable livelihoods.
Effectiveness and conservation of marine fisheries management areas in Koh Rong, Cambodia
Authors: Ann KEM , Doeur BORN
Published: December 2023

Fish is an essential food for Cambodians and plays an important role in food security. Fish is rich in protein, vitamins, and other minerals necessary for human health, particularly for pregnant women and children. On average, each person consumes about 52,4 kg of fish per year. Fishery communities are attracting national and international tourists for leisure activities, such as fishing, sightseeing in villages and mangrove forests, and coral diving. These activities have contributed to local livelihoods. Fishery management and conservation protect biodiversity and ensure food security. It requires a partnership with community fisheries, professional institutions, local authorities, development partners, and stakeholders and a mechanism for joint responsibility that includes collaboration, division of roles, encouragement, empowerment, and ownership. Smart patrols are a vital tool in preventing fishing crimes in the fisheries management areas of the Koh Rong archipelago and in increasing knowledge of management and the effectiveness of law enforcement. Community fisheries have been established and are fulfilling their essential role in managing the fisheries resources. The communities have been strengthened with support from the government and development partners, including financial and technical support. In the marine fisheries management areas and the community fisheries, to ensure effective management of the areas, there should be monitoring, evaluation, and research on coral habitats, seagrass habitats, mangrove sanctuaries, socio-economic conditions, fisheries governance and knowledge, and attitudes and practices.
