Authors: Richter Dirk , Schwarze Thomas , Kurpicz-Briki Mascha
Published: May 2024

The care of people with severe mental disorders will have a digital component in the foreseeable future. Approaches such as blended therapy will also become increasingly important for this population. However, inclusion in such treatment approaches requires that people with severe mental disorders have the appropriate devices and use applications for health purposes. We conducted a survey among service users of a psychiatric rehabilitation provider in Switzerland. 68 service users (response rate: 27 per cent) took part in the study. The results show that smartphones are the most used digital devices (usage in the last 12 months: 88.2%). In terms of applications, WhatsApp is the most frequently used software. We conclude from our results that there is no longer any digital exclusion of people with severe mental disorders at the device level.

The origins and emergence of self-representation
Authors: Southgate Victoria
Published: May 2024

Although a reflective self-awareness is often considered to be the pinnacle of human consciousness, it takes time to develop and behaviours indicating a conceptual self-representation appear only towards the end of the second year of life. How it develops has been the subject of much speculation, but little empirical data has targeted causal mechanisms. I first review early behaviours that likely do and do not indicate a reflective self-awareness. I then draw on data indicating a continuity between bodily and conceptual self-awareness, suggesting that the key to understanding how a reflective self-awareness develops is to look for its origins in a bodily self, and in the earliest available signals of self-origin. Considering data from adult cognitive neuroscience, I review mechanisms that could exploit early visceral cues and represent them as belonging to the self, and the role that caregiver-infant interactions may play in this process. I conclude by considering how cross-cultural differences in the emergence of a self-concept provide important insights into the mechanisms that develop self-awareness.

Aim. To conduct a systematic analysis of modern data on the role of metabiotics in the correction of functional disorders of organs and systems that arise as a result of dysbiotic disorders of the intestinal microflora. Key points. With the development of research on the human microbiome, more and more scientific evidence supports the key role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Maintaining normal functional activity of the microbiome is an integral physiological task of any living organism. Dysbiotic disorders of the intestinal flora are associated with the phenomenon of bacterial translocation - the process of movement of microorganisms that colonize the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract to other parts of the body, including the pelvic organs. Metabiotics are new generation drugs that can have a positive regulatory effect on the relationship between the host and its microflora, without entering into an antagonistic relationship with it. It is assumed that they inhibit the growth of pathogenic and opportunistic microflora. Offering the same health benefit profile as probiotics, metabiotics are free of the risks and uncertain reactions associated with introducing live bacteria into the body. Conclusion. Since the relationship between dysbiotic disorders of the intestinal flora and the development of a number of inflammatory diseases of the female reproductive system cannot be excluded, the use of metabiotics as a preventive or concomitant therapy can help improve the effectiveness of treatment. Key words: probiotics, metabiotics, dysbiosis, bacterial vaginosis, microbiota.

FLTC is a high-quality translucent concrete that offers excellent mechanical properties, and effective light transmission. This research study aimed to evaluate the performance of FLTC by incorporating plastic optical fibers (POF) and replacing a portion of the cement with fly ash. The investigation focused on assessing the mechanical properties and light transmittance capabilities of FLTC. Seven different concrete mixes of M20 grade were prepared, varying the volume of POF from 0.5% to 4% and replacing 25% of the cement with fly ash. After 28 days of curing, tests were conducted to measure compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and light transmittance. The mechanical properties of FLTC demonstrated improvement with increasing POF volume ratios, while the light transmittance notably increased with higher POF volume ratios. FLTC achieved a remarkable light transmittance of up to 5.48% for specimens containing 4% POF volume ratio and 0.75 mm POF diameter, while still maintaining good mechanical properties. Additionally, FLTC exhibited an increase in compressive strength by 27.3 MPa, a tensile strength increases of 17.8%, and an upv value (ultrasonic pulse velocity) of 3.41 km/s.

Published: May 2024

Police Officers are exposed to a high level of stress due to heavy workload, long working hours, and exposure to traumatic experiences emanating from daily duties. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of occupational stress on work performance among Kenya police officers in Njoro Sub-County. The study was based on the role stress theory which explains how individual roles and expectations influence the outcome of individual responsibilities and how these functions cause occupational stress and affect work performance among police officers. The study adopts a descriptive survey design. The study targeted a population of 367 police officers. Stratified sampling was used to select a sample size of 104 respondents. The data collected through self-administered structured questionnaires were used as the research instrument to collect the data. Descriptive statistics were used in analyzing the data where the results were presented in form of tables, graphs, charts, frequency, and percentages to give meaning to the study. The results show that out of 104 questionnaires administered 81 were returned indicating a response rate of 77.88 percent. The study established that the majority of the respondents perform poorly due to stress they experience from work and that there is a strong influence on performance attributed to the poor communication network, lack of serviceable equipment, lack of support, lack of motivation, role conflict, heavy workload and long working hours. The study recommends that the National Police Service should focus on the causes of poor performance among the police officers and develop a strategy for addressing the gap to better service delivery. Develop counseling programs in the police syllabus and sensitize officers on the need of sharing problems that affect their work performance. Finally, the government should increase budgetary allocation and mobilize more resources and training to help them acquire skills to improve police public relationships and improve work performance. The study, 1therefore, recommended for a similar study be conducted in the national police service in other Sub-Counties in Kenya to compare the findings.

Published: May 2024

Brazil has increased its scientific production in the past four decades, with public universities playing a major role in scientific and technological research in the country. Recent cuts in governmental budgets to these institutions put them at risk of closing down, impacting not only education, but also research and development in the country, thus threatening the future of the national science and technology system. Sustainable actions may help universities to overcome this crisis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of the implementation, in 2008, of a Sustainable Logistic Management Plan (SLP) at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA). Indicators were collected by UFCSPA Environmental Management Commission (EMC) and were publicly available. The study analyzed indicators such as water and energy consumption and special waste production to assess trends in environmental aspects and their respective impacts. The number of graduate and undergraduate courses at UFCSPA increased during the period, therefore most indicators showed an increase in resource consumption in absolute values. However, a decrease was observed when consumption was analyzed per capita. Accordingly, overall consumption of electricity increased 143% from 2008 to 2020, whereas a reduction per capita was observed. Special waste production increased 46% from 2013 to 2020, but per capita production remained stable and water consumption, despite having an average annual increase of 8%, also had a per capita reduction. This study shows how sustainable actions implemented by UFCSPA affected the use of resources, reducing the consumption of water, electricity, disposable materials, and waste per capita. Therefore, we can conclude that the actions implemented by the university in 2008 and monitored by the EMC in the SLP contributed significantly to achieving financial balance in the institution.

Provinsi Kalimantan Tengah memiliki air gambut. Air gambut memiliki kandungan organik yang tinggi, berwarna coklat kemerahan, dan tingkat keasaman yang tinggi. Meskipun air gambut tidak memenuhi persyaratan untuk mencampur air beton, namun sering digunakan untuk mencampur air beton. Kapur non-hidrolik, juga dikenal sebagai kapur tohor (CaO), diproduksi dengan membakar batu alam, yang sebagian besar terdiri dari kalsium karbonat. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kapur tohor dapat ditambahkan ke dalam air gambut untuk mencampur beton. Variasi penambahan kapur tohor sebanyak 0,0g/l ; 0,045g/l; 0,05g/l. Pada umur 28 hari, beton diharapkan memiliki kuat tekan 25 MPa. Benda uji dibuat menggunakan air gambut yang diolah dengan kapur tohor dan direndam dalam saluran air gambut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kuat tekan beton kombinasi kapur tohor 0,045 g/l dan 0,05 g/l memiliki kuat tekan 27 Mpa dan 25 MPa pada umur 7 hari dan terus meningkat menjadi 39 MPa dan 44 MPa pada umur 56 hari, sedangkan beton tanpa kombinasi kapur tohor memiliki kuat tekan 24 MPa pada umur 7 hari dan terus menurun menjadi 17 MPa pada umur 56 hari. Kapur tohor dapat digunakan untuk mencampur air gambut, sehingga memungkinkan untuk menggunakan air gambut sebagai air pencampur beton.

The role of curcumin in periodontal therapy: An update
Authors: Al-Kattan Reem
Published: May 2024

Background: Periodontal diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, present a significant global health burden, particularly affecting adults and especially the aging population. The etiology involves complex interactions between microbial colonization and host immune-inflammatory responses, leading to tissue destruction and bone resorption. Current conventional treatments, primarily focused on mechanical debridement and antimicrobial agents, often have limitations and challenges, including antibiotic resistance and limited tissue regenerative potential. Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound derived from the Curcuma longa plant, has emerged as a promising adjunctive therapeutic agent owing to its remarkable pharmacological properties. Extensive preclinical research has revealed the potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory effects of curcumin. These attributes make it a compelling candidate for addressing various aspects of periodontal pathogenesis. Furthermore, curcumin's capacity to in vitro inhibit various periodontopathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans demonstrates its potential as a natural antimicrobial agent. Its adjunctive use in local drug delivery systems, such as gels or nanoparticles, holds promise for targeted delivery and sustained release within periodontal pockets, enhancing its therapeutic potential. However, challenges related to its bioavailability, stability, and dosage standardization need to be addressed forsuccessful clinical outcomes.
Keywords: periodontal diseases; curcumin; bioactive compounds, inflammatory response, microbial dysbiosis

Zum anderen soll die daran anschließende Debatte zu der Frage nachgezeichnet werden, inwiefern Vertragstheorien aus feministischer Perspektive reformierbar erscheinen. Dazu werden die grundlegenden kontraktualistischen Annahmen zunächst erläutert, um davon ausgehend die verschiedenen geschlechtertheoretischen Bezugnahmen darlegen zu können.
Das Konzept der Femizide
Authors: Koç Güneş
Published: May 2024

Der Begriff Femizid bezeichnet ein Konzept, das den Mord an Frauen aus misogynen Gründen untersucht. Die Hintergründe der Gewalt gegenüber Frauen werden dabei in den vergeschlechtlichten Machtverhältnissen verortet. Femizide ereignen sich sowohl in der Privatsphäre als auch in der Öffentlichkeit. Motive für Femizide sind auf der Mikro-Ebene a) Besitzgier, Eifersucht und der Glaube, ein sexuelles Anrecht zu haben und b) Trennung, Scheidung und Verlust sowie auf der Makro-Ebene der Analyse c) Backlash. Bei Femiziden spielen intersektionale Aspekte und institutionalisierte Gewalt eine Rolle.

Sexualitäten, Queerness und globale Politik
Authors: Franke Esther
Published: May 2024

Ansätze zur Erforschung von Sexualitäten und Geschlecht in globaler Politik reichen von der Inklusion von LGBTQ+ Communities in liberale Menschenrechtsdiskurse und Marktlogiken bis zu grundlegender Kritik an internationalen (Un)Ordnungen und Ungerechtigkeiten. Der Beitrag ordnet die Literatur und argumentiert für eine Fortführung transnational feministischer Ansätze zur Erforschung be- und entstehender Konfigurationen globaler (sexueller) Ordnungen. Dies ist gerade in Zeiten von Fragilität liberaler Ordnungen und der Verschränkung von queerfeindlicher und rassistischer Gewalt von wissenschaftlicher und politischer Bedeutung.

Authors: Khaskheli Rabia , Weiping Zhang
Published: May 2024

The infrastructure of streets is the lifeline of any developed city. If one wants to experience the urban culture of any city, then the streets are the best place to wander for this. Thus, the streetscape of a city remains a decisive element in its success. In any city, “its streetscape" not just adds to the experiential quality of the built space but also portrays the natural built fabric of the street. Stakeholders, such as hawkers, cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles utilize the streets. Likewise, occupants living on a specific street also play a significant part in helping to analyze the nature of that specific street. The current paper discusses the problems with the streets of Shalimar Gardens, Lahore (a world heritage site). Furthermore, it provides a redesign solution for these streets marred with the issues encroachment and illegal Bazar using streetscape methodology, which is an important rejuvenation endeavor for the streetscape of the city.

Objectives. To evaluate the influence and efficiency of using microwave irradiation on the dichlorocarbenation of polar olefins. To determine the conditions (reaction time and process temperature) under which the maximum yield of target gem-dichlorocyclopropanes is achieved.

Methods. The target compounds were obtained by classical methods of organic synthesis— acetalization of polyols and dichlorocarbenation of unsaturated compounds. The preparation of gem-dichlorocyclopropanes was carried out using the microwave activation method on a Sineo device (microwave system for organic synthesis, made in China). In order to determine the qualitative and quantitative composition of the reaction masses, gas–liquid chromatography (using the Kristall 2000 hardware complex), mass-spectroscopy (using Chromatek-Kristall 5000M device with NIST 2012), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (using Bruker AM-500 device with operating frequencies of 500 and 125 MHz) were carried out.

Results. Under microwave irradiation at 25°C for 2 h with the maximum yield (92–98%), the target substituted gem-dichlorocyclopropanes were obtained: 2-(2,2-dichloro-3-methylcyclopropyl)-1,3-dioxolane, 2-(2, 2-dichloro-3-phenylcyclopropyl)-1,3-dioxolane, 8,8-dichloro4-isopropyl-3,5-dioxabicyclooctane, diethyl-2,2-dichloro-3-phenylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate, and diethyl-2,2-dichloro-3isopropylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate.

Conclusions. Under the conditions herein proposed, the use of the microwave stimulation method in the dichlorocarbenation of double C=C bonds containing polar substituents allows the reduce the temperature and reaction time to be significantly reduced, and the yield of target gem-dichlorocyclopropanes to be increased.
