ANALYSIS OF THE MEANING OF THE EXPRESSION OF HOHO SINGING AT THE TRADITIONAL DEATH CEREMONY OF THE SOUTHERN NIAS COMMUNITY THROUGH SEMIOTIC APPROACH
Authors: Fau Trinitatis , Polii Intama J. , Pangemanan Nontje
Published: November 2023

This research aims to describe the meaning of Hoho singing phrases associated with the traditional death ceremony of the South Nias community through Peirce's semiotic approach. A qualitative approach with a focus on musicology was used as the research method. Data was collected through observation, interviews and documentation. The results revealed that the Hoho is performed by a minimum of 5 people in the group presenting the text, with a leader from the si'ulu or si'ila group called sondroro or Hoho Participant. The Hoho is also responded to in turn by several small groups of two to four text presenters known as sanoyohi or Speakers. All Hoho presenters are male. Textual analysis of the meaning and message of the Hoho shows that Lawaendröna is looking for a way out of the threat of death. He considers various possibilities, including going to the moon, but eventually realizes that humans cannot escape death. In essence, the Hoho depicts the human life cycle and philosophical questions about death and eternity.

Published: November 2023

Contexto: los factores biopsicosociales influyen en la adherencia terapéutica en pacientes con diabetes mellitus 2.
Objetivo: determinar la adherencia al manejo farmacológico y su asociación con factores biopsicosociales.
Metodología: estudio observacional de corte transversal con componente analítico. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años con diabetes tipo 2, hospitalizados por cualquier causa que firmaron el consentimiento informado. Se usaron las escalas MOS, PHQ4, DDS-17, de Bonilla y Reales.
Resultados: se incluyeron 87 pacientes, con una edad promedio de 61 años, 56.3 % eran hombres, 59.7 % tenían IMC > 25 y 72 % polifarmacia. El 16.1 % tenía escasa red de apoyo, 31 % y 27.9 % probable trastorno depresivo y de ansiedad respectivamente, 51.7 % estrés alto por carga emocional y 49.4 % estrés relacionado con el régimen terapéutico. El 58.6 % tenían riesgo de no adherencia y el 14.9 % comportamiento de no adherencia. La mediana de adherencia terapéutica fue 0.95 y de persistencia 0.9. Se encontró una asociación significativa entre comportamiento de no adherencia con estrés, casos potenciales de depresión, mala red de apoyo, antecedente de neuropatía y enfermedad arterial periférica. Finalmente, se observó una relación significativa entre la tasa de adherencia alta y la edad > 60 años, IMC > 25, polifarmacia, comorbilidad alta, falla cardiaca, enfermedad renal y retinopatía.
Conclusiones: existe mejor adherencia en pacientes mayores de 60 años, con IMC > 25, polifarmacia y alta comorbilidad, con buena red de apoyo y ausencia de estrés o depresión. Los factores biopsicosociales se deben evaluar en todos los pacientes con diabetes tipo 2.
Insulinas de ultra larga acción: evaluación de prescripción-indicación en diabéticos tipo 2 de una institución de salud colombiana
Authors: Enríquez Zúñiga Carlos Gabriel , Machado-Duque Manuel Enrique
Published: November 2023

Contexto: la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 es una enfermedad con distribución global y prevalencia creciente. Diferentes tipos de insulina son empleadas en su tratamiento y, de estas, las análogas de ultra larga acción constituyen las insulinas basales más costosas.
Objetivo: evaluar la prescripción-indicación de las insulinas de ultra larga acción (degludec y glargina U-300) con base en las recomendaciones de su lugar en la terapéutica en pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 de una institución prestadora de servicios de salud colombiana de enero a diciembre 2021.
Metodología: estudio farmacoepidemiológico, descriptivo y transversal que incluyó 309 registros de pacientes prescritos con alguna insulina de ultra larga acción en el período establecido. Las variables analizadas fueron sexo, edad, escolaridad, índice de masa corporal, tiempo de diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus 2, antecedente de hipoglicemia, dependencia de cuidador, comorbilidades, medicamentos empleados y porcentaje de hemoglobina glicosilada. Se emplearon pruebas estadísticas como chi-cuadrado y una regresión logística binaria, estableciéndose como diferencia significativa en los valores de p <0,05 (IC 95 %).
Resultados: el 51.5 % de los pacientes era de sexo masculino, la edad tuvo una mediana de 60 años (RIQ 12.0) y 33.3 % tenía antecedente de hipoglicemia. No hubo relación estadísticamente significativa entre la prescripción de estas insulinas con las variables promotoras de hipoglicemia y la insulina degludec fue más prescrita.
Conclusión: potencialmente, las insulinas de ultra larga acción estarían empleándose sin considerar el perfil clínico de cada paciente y las condiciones en que ofrecen un beneficio adicional por reducir hipoglicemias, lo cual sugiere una oportunidad de mejora en su uso.

Dismantling Curricular Statues: Critically Examining Anti-Black Racism in Representations of Ancient Africa in Canadian Textbooks
Authors: Joyce S.J. Adrienna , Abdou Ehaab D.
Published: November 2023

Although Canada is portrayed as a benevolent multicultural society, the experiences of many of its racialized peoples point to the ongoing realities of racism. Research demonstrates that schools are central to perpetuating racism, in part through a prioritization of white Eurocentric curricula. But how might ancient history curricula specifically contribute to racism? In this article, we interrogate representations of ancient African societies as presented in three secondary school world history textbooks from Quebec and Manitoba and consider the mechanisms of anti-black racism at work. By using Fairclough’s (2003) approach to critical discourse analysis, we offer insights about how ancient history curricula do little to address the persistence of anti-black racism. Our analysis finds a continued valorisation of white Western civilizations at the expense of ancient African histories and Black peoples more generally. Further, we demonstrate how ancient history textbooks perpetuate specific anti-black discourses such as Black primitivity and an overemphasis on Black labour.
Is the Missing Letter Effect Due Primarily to the Test Word Containing the Target Letter or to the Surrounding Words?
Authors: Healy Alice F. , Kole James A. , Schneider Vivian I.
Published: November 2023

A simple letter detection task, in which subjects mark instances of a target letter in prose passages, has elucidated numerous cognitive processes involved in reading by examining the “missing letter” effect, in which readers’ detection accuracy is especially low on frequent function words. Two experiments explore the fundamental but novel issue of whether the missing letter effect is due to the test word containing the target letter or to the words surrounding the test word. College students searched for a target letter (e in Experiment 1, o in Experiment 2) in a passage that included unrelated sentences, with each sentence containing a single instance of 1 of 2 test words (the or one in Experiment 1, of or on in Experiment 2). The sentences were intact (prose), or the words in each sentence were randomly rearranged (scrambled). The 2 test words in an experiment were surrounded by the exact same words. If the word containing the target letter is primarily responsible for the missing letter effect, the proportion of correct letter detection responses should depend on the test word, whereas if the surrounding words are primarily responsible, it should depend on the text type (prose, scrambled). In fact, in both experiments a huge effect of test word was found but no effect of text type. These results provide clear evidence for the influence of the test word but, surprisingly, no evidence for the influence of the surrounding words on the missing letter effect in the letter detection task.
A Feedforward Interactive Network to Explain Complex Information Processing Phenomena Including the Halo Effect and Its Generalization
Authors: Nahinsky Irwin D.
Published: November 2023

Parallel interactive processing (PIP) is a parallel distributed processing approach in which a representation of an object involves interaction of its components in a way that influences information processing of the components. Prior research is summarized in the areas of categorization and probability judgment. It was found that an explanation of the halo effect and its generalization as well as phenomena in other information processing situations could be explained by PIP. The explanation of the halo effect is largely in terms of reduction of variance in judgments of components of an object produced by a holistic impression of the object. There was a focus on processes common to various subject areas.

Modified Land
Authors: Baldwin Katie
Published: November 2023

As a Fulbright Scholar, I had the opportunity to work at the International Printmaking Center at National Taiwan Normal University. A few months after arriving in Taipei, the city shut down due to a Covid outbreak. No longer able to use the printmaking studio, I worked in my small apartment. I carved blocks and printed them by hand, using traditional water-based techniques called mokuhanga. In this reflective paper and presentation, I share my creative practice and research behind the work I created.  

Over the course of the year, I responded to the interior and exterior of natural and manufactured environments in Taiwan. I rode my bike along nearly empty streets in the sweltering summer heat to visit the wetlands, gardens, canals and parks. I walked through neighborhoods, discovering small gardens along sidewalks and in alleyways. I explored the traces, modifications, transformations and reconstructions of the Taiwanese landscape. From these experiences, I created a series of narrative prints that tell a story about the human capacity to shape the world around us. Modified Land is a series of woodblock prints that capture the experience of what it is to be in a place.
Making Ink from Fire
Authors: Cozzolino Mara , Gribbin Jacqueline F
Published: November 2023

Two artists from opposite sides of the globe tackle the same issue of wildfires. Mara Cozzolino from Italy and Jacqueline Gribbin from Australia started working on projects about dealing and living with wildfires and bushfires in 2021. Without prior knowledge of each other’s projects, they started experimenting with making ink from the charcoal of burnt trees in their living areas. Both full-time printmakers discovered each other’s projects through a mutual friend. They began exchanging ideas about the experiments, their gained knowledge, and expertise in making their ink. By meeting online, they shared their progress, inspiring and influencing each other.

Making ink from fire brings attention to the dramatic climate changes that continue to endanger life on the planet and highlights the importance of respect for a diminishing and affected environment. This project produced a series of black-and-white prints and short films. Mara Cozzolino focused on portraying 20 single trees burnt down in the devastating wildfires in 2017, making ink from the charred bark of the same trees she was portraying. Jacqueline Gribbin explored her local area with First Nations artist Dennis McCarthy (Murrwurruwurr) and collected charcoal for making ink from the bush, slowly depleted by an ever-increasing number of fires. Her prints portray the post-fire landscape.

Both artists use the medium of Mokuhanga, a low-toxic, environmentally friendly printmaking technique that uses wood, water, handmade paper and pigment and is particularly suited to depicting nature, which is the source of their expression and which they are strenuously trying to defend.
Rubbish Printmaking
Authors: Fowler Stephen
Published: November 2023

Rubber stamping, Tetra Pak print and kitchen sink lithography were some of the open-ended, exploratory processes, my inquisitiveness thrived upon during the printmaking MA at the University of the West of England. My curiosity always brought me back to exploring such techniques and material with no established orthodoxy or long tradition.

On reflection, I believe the root of my practice was in part a response to the illustration/art history context in which I was first introduced to print. Art and technology were aligned; print was a commercial means to reproduce imagery. Slides of the technical accomplishments of master printmakers were projected each week, although inspiring they were also rather intimidating (how could we teenage students ever amount to such heights!) The philosophy of the Bauhaus-inspired books written by Peter Green, and published by Batsford, I found at the local library were more appealing and the printmaking within more attainable by comparison.

During my MA second year along came Covid 19 and the lockdown. My printing practice was ideally suited to this new environment. I worked without a printing press, using pasta machines, spoons and rolling pins. Plastic 4-litre bottles instead of copper plates, cereal packets and coffee cups for collagraph print. Each outcome sparked further experiments.

Whilst these experiments seemed outside the world of traditional print, they were, I reflected, informed by it. To create clear, readable print impressions I needed specific inks and paper. It required a knowledge of printing pressure in the pasta machine press for instance. Drypoint tools were purchased to create effective marks. There was a reciprocal relationship, in exploring print this way, it helped me to understand, and imbed traditional forms of printmaking. This alternative unorthodox form of print was my gateway into fully understanding and appreciating the field of printmaking.
Print as Infection
Authors: McKenzie Craig Carolyn
Published: November 2023

My paper will consider how to exploit print as replication within a practice that seeks to disrupt the boundaries of power and normalcy. 

Print offers a unique conceptual and material matrix of social dispersal. My paper will examine this multiplicity from the perspective of infection, where prints potential as an agent of dispersal is utilised as a code of rupture within the visual representational practices of power and normalcy. This draws upon theories of the cultural screen (Silverman, 1996) where a society’s conception of reality is defined through a shared projection of images and discourses: and the way that definitions of normal and ‘good’ exist in opposition to the ‘Other’ as dirty and foul.  I propose that a creative research practice using print ‘as copy’ can disrupt the cultural screen by inserting new representational codes to contaminate and replicate. Such disruptions offer Deleuzian slippages in the field of cultural production itself.  

 Two bodies of current research will be discussed within this framework, the colonised body and hygiene practices. The colonised body draws on my history of incarceration to use the body of the prisoner in constant replication as a form of moral saturation and inversion. I have found people perceive my past as ‘dirty’, and that it excludes me from participation in parts of the social structure. My creating copies of myself I am able to insert my representation as inmate back into the social sphere of normalcy. The second body of work I will discuss extends on this idea of purity and infection to use dust printing to distribute the remains of the subjective pain of Othering processes over the body.
Arresting the Echo: Using the Tenets of Printmedia to Work with the Voice and Perform Mourning
Authors: Morris Saskia
Published: November 2023

In this reflection on my last year of practice, I will describe how print media’s contextual framework directly informed my strategies and ultimately characterised my approach to working with the voice, allowing me to take on the work of embodying loss. To do this, I extended print media's theories on the relationships between original and reproduction, and matrix and impression, to apply to any recording device. Namely, I considered the print/recorded voice as an echo of the previous body, the press/recorder as an apparatus with the ability to broadcast and create empathy, and the shared practice of breaking down and building into layers as a working metaphor for individual and community agency.  

I was motivated to research this topic after observing the ways many people have become isolated from the rituals that help them navigate their lives. Restrictions on coming together have meant that communities, families, and individuals are not able to perform and acknowledge change effectively. To me, this large-scale stagnation represents a general disassociation from our bodies and disregard for the role our bodies play in exercising empathy and care in troubling times. My antidote to this disembodiment has been to consider the voice as a material that both broadcasts the individual body and can overcome spatial restrictions by being amplified and recorded. In the resulting work, Arresting the Echo, I translated this framework to three performance works that use my voice to create space to perform mourning and empowerment together. By applying this framework, I found that the dogma of contemporary print practice prepared me to ask myself and my audience to work with echoes and stay with loss.

Published: November 2023

O presente artigo científico aborda o estudo da teleconsulta no âmbito da saúde e suas políticas públicas de aplicação, a teleconsulta tem a tecnologia como principal meio de consulta online, por videoconferência, alterando a prática médica. A regulamentação da telemedicina permite que profissionais da saúde possam utilizar recursos tecnológicos para oferecer atendimento médico, especialmente em áreas remotas ou com escassez de infraestrutura de saúde.  Diante deste contexto, é necessário que o sistema jurídico enfrente e solucione os novos conflitos sociais decorrentes dessa forma de atuação médica. A Constituição Federal de 1988, estabelece em seu artigo 6°, o direito fundamental à saúde como um dos direitos sociais, além disso, os artigos 196° a 200° da Constituição dispõem sobre a organização do Sistema único de Saúde (SUS), estabelecendo diretrizes e princípios para o acesso à saúde no país. A teleconsulta permite que indivíduos que estejam distantes fisicamente dos serviços de saúde possam receber atendimento médico, democratizando o acesso e facilitando o diagnóstico e tratamento de diversas doenças. Dessa forma, a aplicação das leis do ordenamento jurídico brasileiro para assegurar o direito fundamental ao acesso à saúde pode ser constatada na regulamentação da telemedicina, mais especificamente na teleconsulta. Essa modalidade de atendimento médico à distância contribui para a ampliação do acesso aos serviços de saúde, garantindo o direito à saúde de forma mais eficiente e igualitária.

Published: November 2023

Curriculum transparency in medical education is of ultimate importance as it directly impacts the progression and success of medical students. This commentary will discuss the significance of transparency in medical school curricula and how it influences the educational journey of future healthcare professionals. The curriculum in healthcare professionals is extensive and challenging, encompassing a wide range of subjects and practical skills. To navigate this complex landscape effectively, students need a clear understanding of what is expected of them. Curriculum transparency, in this context, refers to the provision of clear and accessible information about the curriculum's structure, objectives, teaching methodologies, assessment methods, and expectations. Transparent curricula outline specific learning objectives and outcomes for each course or module. This clarity helps students understand the knowledge and skills they are expected to acquire, allowing them to set clear learning goals. Knowing the assessment methods used for each course is crucial for students.

Authors:   KDKCE,Nagpur,India, Ganorkar Prof.S.S
Published: November 2023

As artificial intelligence technology has advanced, it has become commonplace to employ hand gesture detection to control virtual objects. The suggested system in this research is a hand gesture-controlled virtual mouse that uses AI algorithms to recognize hand gestures and transform them into mouse movements. People who have trouble using a conventional mouse or keyboard can use the system to provide an alternate interface. The suggested method takes pictures of the user's hand with a camera, which an AI program then utilizes to identify the motions the user is making. Since the development of computer technology, the method for constructing a process of human-computer interaction is advancing. The mouse is one of the best pieces of HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) technology ever created. This article suggests an HCI-based virtual mouse system that makes use of hand movements and computer vision. webcam or built-in camera recordings of gestures that have been subjected to a color segmentation and detection procedure. This system uses a webcam or an integrated camera to capture frames. It then processes the frames to make them trackable, identifies various user motions, and executes mouse functions. In order to make the interaction more effective and dependable, this study suggests a vision-based system to control various mouse behaviors, such as left and right clicking, using hand gestures. This system uses a webcam or an integrated camera to capture frames. It then processes the frames to make them trackable, identifies various user motions, and executes mouse functions. Therefore, the suggested mouse solution removes the need for a device to use a mouse. Therefore, it can be seen that the development of HCI technology is advantageous. Keywords- HCI (Human Computer Interaction), Hand Gesture, Gesture Recognition, OpenCV, Media-pipe, pyAutoGUI.

Published: November 2023

This study examined the effect of women executives on bank risk in banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2017 and 2021. Women executives served as the independent variable. The dependent variable was bank risk, which is a proxy for non-performing loans and capital adequacy ratio. The financial statements of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017-2021 were used as the data source. This study used the purposive sampling method to select the sample. Panel data with the fixed effect model approach was applied in this study as the research model. According to the findings, women CEOs do not significantly affect non-performing loans and capital adequacy ratios. This is because there are no regulations requiring gender equality on company management boards, particularly in Indonesian banks, as well as challenges from social society toward women.

Pneumonia dapat menyebabkan inflamasi berlebihan pada paru-paru maupun inflamasi secara sistemik sehingga bisa menyebabkan kematian pada penderita. Bakteri utama penyebab pneumonia diantaranya Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae  dan Klebsiella pneumoniae.  K. pneumoniae memiliki faktor-faktor virulensi yang dapat mempengaruhi tingat keparahan penyakit. Pengujian virulensi suatu bakteri dapat dilakukan salah satunya dengan cara in vivo menggunakan hewan uji. Hewan uji yang umum digunakan adalah tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus), mencit (Mus musculus), nematoda transparan (Caenorhabditis elegans), ikan zebra (Danio rerio), ngengat lilin (Galleria mellonela) dan  ulat bambu (Omphisa fuscidentalis). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji kemampuan Omphisa fuscidentalis sebagai hewan alternatif untuk menguji virulensi Klebsiella pneumoniae. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian eksperimental. Perlakuan yang  dilakukan berupa penyuntikkan Klebsiella pneumoniae ke larva Omphisa fuscidentallis dengan konsentrasi 104, 105, 106 CFU/larva. Semua perlakuan dilakukan sebanyak 10 kali pengulangan. Larva O.fuscidentalis diamati pola kematiannya sampai jam ke 72. Hasil yang didapat adalah terdapat pengaruh antara konsentrasi K. pneumoniae dengan jumlah kematian larva ulat O.fuscidentalis. Uji virulensi K. pneumoniae pada konsentrasi 106 CFU/larva adalah konsentrasi yang tercepat dalam membunuh O.fuscidentalis, pada jam ke 24 sejumlah 8 larva  dengan kategori 2 Mati Putih (MP), 5 Mati Coklat (MC) dan 1 Mati Hitam (MH).

The Ipomea reptans L. Poir plant is a horticultural plant that contains high nutrition and is very popular among the public. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a sodium salt which is very important in the vegetative and generative growth of plants. Rice washing water is one of the domestic wastes that is rarely used and has very good properties for plant growth as an organic liquid fertilizer. This research was prepared based on a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with treatment of MSG concentration combined with rice washing water, namely treatment I (MSG 5 grams + 200 mL rice washing water) and treatment II (MSG 5 grams + 200 mL rice washing water) were carried out repetition 3 times. The parameters observed in this research were the height growth of Ipomea reptans L.Poir plants. Giving MSG combined with rice washing water is the best way to increase the height growth of Ipomea reptanas plants, namely MSG 7.5 grams + 200 mL Rice Washing Water which can be seen with a plant height of 33 cm (6 weeks).

Background: Overweight and obesity are global civilization problems affecting all age groups, including in Poland. The prevalence of excessive body weight among young women in 2022, according to the Central Statistical Office (GUS), was 20%. Overweight leads to numerous complications and increases the risk of chronic diseases. There is also a confirmed link between obesity and low self-acceptance, leading to a decrease in quality of life, especially among women. Health-promoting modifications of lifestyle, including physical activity and diet, play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Regular physical activity like yoga is also associated with improved quality of life, particularly in the psychological domain. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the changes in anthropometric indicators of body weight (BMI, WC, WHR) and quality of life (SF-36) after 8 weeks of yoga training, conducted 3 times a week, with each session lasting 45 minutes.Material and methods: The study included 27 women with an average age of 31.48 years 10.98, who were not undergoing any medical therapy or engaging in other physical training, and were not pregnant. The participants did not make any changes to their diet during the study. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The normal distribution of variables was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the difference between variables was analyzed using either the Student's t-test or the Wilcoxon test. The relationships between variables were examined using the Spearman's rank correlation test.Results: The analysis of the obtained results showed that in the study group, the conducted yoga training led to a statistically significant increase in the level of quality of life in all domains (PCS, MCS, PF, RP, BP, GH, VT, SF, MH). There were no statistically significant changes observed in BMI, WC, and WHR before and after the training, which may be attributed to the small sample size and requires further research.Conclusion: Based on the preliminary results, it can be inferred that an 8-week yoga training may be recommended as a method to improve the quality of life in women.
