Scenarios of Mentor Education in Romania – Towards Improving Teacher Induction
Authors: Stingu Mihaela , Eisenschmidt Eve , Iucu Romiță
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to examine the induction programme for newly qualified teachers and mentor education in Estonia, providing a comparative analysis of existing Estonian and possible Romanian models of mentoring. While the Estonian induction programme has been in place for more than ten years, induction in Romania is a relatively new and has onlybeen mandatory since 2011 (National Law of Education 1/2011). The specifics of mentor professional development within the Romanian induction framework have yet to be explicated. This paper proposes two possible scenarios suitable for the Romanian system :1) long-term regulated academic education (part of master or doctoral level studies), and 2) flexibleshort-term in-service education. The advantages and disadvantages of both models are examined and ways to overcome some of the disadvantages are identified. Ultimately, the paper proposes that a flexible, needsdriven system which encompasses a degree of choice will best fulfil the professional development needs of teachers who wish to become mentors.

Objectives. To determine the prevalence of maternal death, stillbirth and low birthweight in women with (pre-) eclampsia and complicated pregnancies or deliveries in Centre de Références des Urgences Obstétricales, an obstetric emergency hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and to identify the main risk factors for these adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women admitted to Centre de Référence des Urgences Obstétricales between 2013 and 2018 using hospital records. Risk factors investigated were age group, type of pregnancy (singleton, multiple), type of delivery and use of antenatal care services.

Results. A total of 31 509 women and 24 983 deliveries were included in the analysis. Among these, 204 (0.6%) maternal deaths (648 per 100 000 women giving birth), 1962 (7.9%) stillbirths and 11 008 (44.1%) low birthweight neonates were identified. Of all admissions, 10 991 (34.9%) were women with (pre-)eclampsia. Caesarean section significantly increased the risk of maternal death in the women with a complicated pregnancy and women with (pre-)eclampsia, but reduced the risk of stillbirth in such women. Not attending antenatal care was associated with a significantly higher risk of stillbirth (odds ratio (OR) 4.82; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.55–6.55) and low birthweight (OR 1.40; 95% CI 1.05–1.86) for women with complicated pregnancies.

Conclusion. To prevent and treat pregnancy complications as early as possible, antenatal care attendance is crucial. Improving the quality of and access to antenatal care services and providing it free to all pregnant women in Haiti is recommended.
Reciprocal risk: The longitudinal relationship between emotion regulation and non-suicidal self-injury
Authors:   , Robinson Kealagh
Published: November 2021

Poor emotion regulation has been highlighted as a potential risk factor for the development and maintenance of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI; Fox et al., 2015). However, longitudinal research tracking the relationship between emotion regulation and NSSI during adolescence is limited. In addition, the conceptual argument that NSSI may in turn be a risk factor for poor emotion regulation (Gratz, 2003), remains largely untested. Three studies, all drawn from the Youth Wellbeing Study, were conducted to investigate the developmental relationship between emotion regulation and NSSI during adolescence. Study One established the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Index for Children and Adolescents in a large sample of adolescents and validated the self-report measure for use in Studies Two and Three. Study Two assessed the longitudinal relationship between emotion regulation and NSSI within a cohort of young adolescents across a three year period. Consistent with previous research, poor emotion regulation predicted subsequent engagement in NSSI for both boys and girls, suggesting that poor emotion regulation may be causally implicated in the development of NSSI behaviours. Critically, this relationship was reciprocal; engaging in NSSI also predicted poorer subsequent emotion regulation. Study Three tests the hypothesis that NSSI ‘damages’ emotion regulation by impairing the interpersonal relationships which underlie the development of emotion regulation skills. Using a quasi-longitudinal multiple mediation analysis, the combination of Time Two Parental Attachment and Time Two Peer Attachment were found to fully mediate the relationship between Time One NSSI and Time Three Emotion Regulation, emphasising the primacy of these relationships during adolescence. This research is the first to empirically demonstrate the reciprocal complexity of the relationship between emotion regulation and NSSI, suggesting that the dynamic relationship between these two factors underlies the development of NSSI during adolescence.
The role of social influence in New Zealand rural landowners' land use decisions
Authors:   , Holmes Samuel Neil
Published: November 2021

New Zealand’s native bush has been substantially reduced in extent by human actions. Valuable native bush fragments remain on private land. Protection of these fragments is required on multi-generational timescales appropriate to their succession periods.  Social influence has been shown to predict human behaviour in a variety of behavioural domains and research settings. Social norms possess a self-reinforcing characteristic that may lead to the diffusion and embedding of behaviour and attitude change in society also on a multi-generational time-scale.  The role of social influence in New Zealand landowners’ decisions with respect to native trees on their land is examined for two populations. One population is a shared interest group (the ‘Farm Forestry Association’); the other is the general population of rural landowners. Data is gathered using questionnaires based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour.  Weak social influence is shown to be present for participants’ intentions to increase or decrease native tree cover on their land. The strength of social influence is moderated by the frequency of social interaction. Contrary to the research hypothesis, the two groups do not differ in the norms they perceive nor the strength of social influence experienced. Suggestions are made for developing and applying the research methods in a small group setting.
Does the Occipital Face Area Contribute to Holistic Face Processing?
Authors:   , Henderson Gates
Published: November 2021

Face perception depends on a network of brain areas that selectively respond to faces over non-face stimuli. These face-selective areas are involved in different aspects of face perception, but what specific process is implemented in a particular region remains little understood. A candidate processisholistic face processing, namely the integration of visual information across the whole of an upright face. In this thesis, I report two experimentsthat examine whether the occipital face area (OFA), a face-selective region in the inferior occipital gyrus, performs holistic processing for categorising a stimulus as a face. Both experiments were conducted using online, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to disrupt activity in the brain while participants performed face perception tasks. Experiment 1 was a localiser in which participants completed two face identification tasks while receiving TMS at OFA or vertex. Participants’ accuracy decreased for one of the tasks as a result of OFA but not vertex stimulation. This result confirms that OFA could be localised and its activity disrupted. Experiment 2 was a test of holistic processing in which participants categorised ambiguous two-tone images as faces or non-faces while TMS was delivered to OFA or vertex. Participants’ accuracy and response times were unchanged as a result of either stimulation. This result suggests that the OFA is not engaged in holistic processing for categorising a stimulus as a face. Overall, the currentresults are more consistent with previous studies suggesting that OFA is involved in processing of local face features/details rather than the whole face.
A’oa’o le tama e tusa ma ona ala, a o’o ina matua e le toe te’a ese ai: If we fail to construct our own realities, others will do it for us
Authors:   , Matautia Saint Andrew Palauni
Published: November 2021

Guided by both my own journey as a Pasifika student and the ideology of Tongan academic Dr. Hūfanga Okustino Māhina, this research seeks to identify ways in which indigenous knowledge can become an integral component within education, specifically design education in New Zealand. This research focuses on the struggles Pasifika students face within an aesthetic education that has within its history, a proud claim for the removal of cultural, religious and historic references from its aesthetic vocabulary. I will argue that the absence of indigenous culture, initiated by the early modernists to embrace the universal, is no longer an appropriate model within design education as it struggles to address cultural diversity in both its content and delivery. The solution, I suggest is not an “either or” scenario but a recognition that knowledge comes from many cultures and contexts. This thesis explores the indigenous beliefs of tā, time and vā, space. It identifies the relevance these and ideologies derived from them, offer design pedagogy. Using visual ethnography, indigenous research methods and photography, I investigate and document traditional indigenous ceremonies and undertake talanoa, oral histories, in order to discover the opportunities and relevance they offer design education.  Having compared and contrasted Eurocentric models and indigenous practices I identify and illustrate current initiatives that attempt to change the status quo. This thesis endeavours to tell the story of Pasifika students through a personal lens and identifies Moana ideologies that can be introduced to design curriculum that establish beneficial pathways forward for not only Maori and Pasifika students in design education but design education and thinking as a larger context. As a nexus to this research, I have designed and curated a selection of five photographs to illustrate the journey of indigenous knowledge, practice and language through design education. These photographs pay homage to my cultural ideologies, represent the narrative behind my motivations and illuminate the reciprocal need to nurture the space between Moana students and design education.
Decolonisation and Free Association: The Relationships of the Cook Islands and Niue with New Zealand
Authors:   , McDonald Caroline
Published: November 2021

The Cook Islands and Niue are self-governing states in free association with New Zealand. The free association arrangements met United Nations decolonisation requirements. They reflected the needs and wishes of the Cook Islands and Niue, and the interests of New Zealand.  Views are divided on what influenced the emergence of the arrangements for free association, whose interests they represented, and whether they have fulfilled the expectations of the Governments involved.  The purpose of this thesis is to determine the formative influences shaping self-government in free association of these two states, and to reach a conclusion on how effective the free association arrangements have been in fulfilling initial expectations.  The first half of this thesis draws on primary and secondary sources to establish what influenced the offer of self-determination, the options available, the choice made, the free association arrangements that emerged and whose interests these represented.  The second half of this thesis turns to fulfilment of those expectations. It explores the flexibility of free association – the ability of the Cook Islands and Niue to make constitutional change. It examines each of the major elements of free association: holding New Zealand citizenship, New Zealand provision of necessary economic and administrative assistance and New Zealand responsibility for external affairs and defence.  The conclusion is that the free association arrangements have been of mixed effectiveness in meeting the Governments’ initial expectations.
Wonderful Worth & Worthy Wonder: The revival of a forgotten concept to strike a balance in technological exhibition design
Authors:   , Langridge Charlotte
Published: November 2021

As museums develop their roles as social and political forces, the role of the exhibition designer has evolved and become more complex. The new role demands increased consideration as new technologies impact the demand for recreational learning experiences (Lake-Hammond & White, 2015). Nearly thirty years ago Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stephen Greenblatt introduced the terms ‘resonance and wonder’ to describe the viewer’s experience and connection to the exhibits. Greenblatt asserted both ‘resonance and wonder’ as essential to an exhibition experience but stressed the need for a balance between the two (1991). The significance of Greenblatt’s perspective has become more prominent with the current shift in museum exhibitions that engage technological forms of representation. This study asserts that Greenblatt’s argument continues to be relevant today, as museum professionals arbitrate the balances and imbalances posed between resonance, now interpreted as worth, and wonder. The terms were first defined through thematic analysis to identify consistent elements that produce the concepts and further applied to the narrative analysis on perspectives of technological integration in museums. Using the broader contemporary definitions of ‘wonder and worth’ this research then applied what was learned from the literature to a physical context by analysing use of wonder and worth in two current exhibitions; Te Papa’s 2015 “Gallipoli: Scale of Our War” and Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum’s 2014 interactive pen design. In doing so the main finding suggested that the balance of wonder and worth can be achieved through encouraging a human connection and empathy which can be extended with the use of new technologies that are appropriate for the intent of the exhibit. These findings were delivered in the form of a manifesto to facilitate the exhibition design process, encourage consideration for the balance between wonder and worth and lessen the stigma around technological representation in museums.
Uncertain Credit: Melville's Affective Economies
Authors:   , Murray Alistair
Published: November 2021

Despite taking place in putatively “lawless” settings, Melville’s maritime fiction maps complex economies of obligation: characters draw up contracts, extend credit, and broker promissory exchanges for goods among themselves, in spite of the absence of any state or legal authority which would enforce their agreements and thereby guarantee the speculative values they call into being. Instead of being underwritten by the law, these contractual relations are characterised by their affective conditions of possibility. In these works, transacting business with strangers in mobile and itinerant spaces requires characters to develop ways of reading the character and creditworthiness of others in order to suppress suspicion and install confidence in its place. Taking “Benito Cereno” (1855) and The Confidence-Man (1857) as its key texts, this thesis tracks these economies of obligation as they emerge in and around Melville’s maritime fictions, which solicit the credit and trust of their readers while continually revising and renegotiating the terms on which that credit is to be extended. By interpolating spurious or broken contracts between characters into the structure of their narratives, these texts foreground the unstable or even illegible terms of the contract which literary texts make with their readers.
This is Wellington: The Representation of Wellington in New Zealand Tourism Film from 1912 to 2017
Authors:   , Bonelli Diego
Published: November 2021

This thesis analyses the representation of Wellington in tourism films between 1912, the year in which the first New Zealand tourism film depicting Wellington was released, until 2017, the production year of the last case study. It also aims to trace both the dynamics of formal, stylistic and narrative development and the contexts of circulation of New Zealand tourism film. This thesis relies on the textual analysis of case studies conceived for different distribution platforms, selected according to their stylistic, formal, thematic and narrative relevance and to the availability of related archival documents; on the analysis of archival material related to New Zealand film production; on interviews with key informants involved in local tourism film production and tourism marketing; on the analysis of scholarly sources. This research argues that the depiction of Wellington has been regularly underpinned by a set of economic, social and political factors that changed throughout time and that determined shifts and turning points in its representation. More broadly, it observes how New Zealand tourism film was on the one hand characterised by a tendency towards formal, stylistic and narrative experimentation while on the other it was constantly subjected to forms of institutional planning and control. This thesis aims to contribute to film studies in different ways. First, it defines tourism film as a subject of study, identifying its characteristics and recognizing its importance and persistence in the context of New Zealand film production. Secondly, it proposes a research methodology for tourism film based on the combined examination of different types of primary and secondary sources that can be potentially applied in different geographic contexts. Finally, it sheds light on the shifts and turning points in the representation of Wellington and New Zealand urban and suburban space throughout over a century of national tourism promotion and tourism film production. In this research, the term ‘tourism film’ has been used in its broadest sense and it is meant to include the variety of technologies and media texts that emerged throughout the analysed 105 years time frame covered in this thesis.
The distribution and population dynamics of the honey bee pathogens Crithidia mellificae and Lotmaria passim in New Zealand
Authors:   , Waters Tammy Leigh
Published: November 2021

The honey bee Apis mellifera is experiencing colony losses across the world, this is not the first time in history colony losses have been reported. New molecular detection methods such as real-time PCR allow the detection and analysis of pathogens present in colonies, quickly and reliably.  Of the pathogens that the honey bee is host to, trypanosomes are one of the least understood and trypanosome interactions within the honey bee host remain largely unknown. Using the bumble bee as a model for this host-parasite relationship. The trypanosome C. bombi is known to cause a reduced ability to gain nutrients from food and an overall decrease in efficiency of queens in founding colonies in spring. These negative correlations are significant enough in the bumble bee to warrant investigation into trypanosomes in the honey bee.  The trypanosome C. mellificae was first described in the honey bee in 1967. A screening study in 2009 included a test for and detected the trypanosome in modern honey bee samples. In 2013 C. mellificae was identified as a contributory factor to overwintering colony losses when co-infected with N. ceranae. Following studies detected trypanosomes and led to the characterisation of a new species, L. passim in 2013. Lotmaria passim was first detected in New Zealand in 2014 however no subsequent studies had been undertaken to identify the distribution and dynamics of trypanosomes in New Zealand honey bee colonies.  My goal in this study was to identify the presence of trypanosomes in New Zealand. In an overview study of 47 honey bee colonies from across New Zealand, 46 were positive for the L. passim species. Identified by sequencing of the GAPDH gene. A yearlong study of 15 colonies revealed that the infection rate of L. passim was consistent throughout the year and very low genetic variation was detected. Lotmaria passim was detected in all parts of New Zealand sampled in this study and often in high levels. A positive correlation was detected when L. passim was present in addition to N. apis. There was no detection of C. mellificae in my study. The lack of detection of C. mellificae may suggest that the species is not present, or that it is in such low levels it cannot yet be detected.  In parallel to this trypanosome study two Nosema spp. and DWV were also examined. Nosema apis was found to be more prevalent than N. ceranae, which was not present in any South Island samples. A strong positive correlation was detected between the two Nosema spp. DWV showed a high level of variation likely a reflection of differing Varroa management practices in apiaries in this study.  This study of trypanosomes is the first of its kind in New Zealand identifying the presence and population dynamics of L. passim. This in conjunction with data on Nosema spp. and DWV will be of value to the New Zealand apiculture industry and contribute to global honey bee health studies.
A Constitution for Aotearoa in the context of Parliamentary Sovereignty
Authors:   , Zerbst Jannik
Published: November 2021

This dissertation argues that human rights and constitutional amendment provisions should be entrenched eternally in the course of adopting a formal constitution in New Zealand. This would prevent abuses of powers within state institutions and provide sufficient protection to basic human rights. The constituent power, which consists of parliament and the electorate, can bind the ordinary parliament through the entrenchment of certain provisions in a formal constitution. The doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty would not be breached if this doctrine is understood to only apply to parliament when acting as an ordinary legislature.
New Design guidelines for Mobile Learning Application: Transactional Distance Perspective
Authors:   , Limtrairut Pakapan
Published: November 2021

M-learning is the approach of using mobile device such as mobile phones to help users engage with learning content. M-learning software exists, but does not have high uptake especially compared to e-learning. One reason for this could be the lack of a model to combine learning theories with best practice in user interface design. One such learning theory relevant to mobile learning is Transactional Distance Theory (TDT). TDT identifies a number of key aspects and the concept of transactional distance. The thesis contributed an analysis of how TDT can be combined with both general and mobile specific usability guidelines. This thesis also contributes a multi-stage evaluation using both test subjects and experts to access both the model and proof-of-concept prototypes. Based on the results of our analysis and experience with designing, developing, and evaluating prototypes, we proposed a set of design guidelines that could be used to develop engaging m-learning applications that may improve uptake.
Development of a Robotic Wireless Network for Underground Mine Rescue
Authors:   , Wu Jeffrey
Published: November 2021

HADES is a mine scout robot designed to be deployed by first responders to assess mine conditions post-disaster. HADES requires the capability of wireless communication between HADES and the operators on the surface station. Post-disaster mine conditions pose significant challenges to communication systems. This thesis discusses a wireless solution using 802.11b ad-hoc radios. The system developed in this thesis, named HERMES, comprises of the node system RF electronics, internal firmware, and ROS interface to the endpoints. A node design is developed in conjunction with a 2.4 GHz radio module capable of transmitting basic video data. The wireless HERMES nodes are stacked in the HADES robot and deployed as the robot traverses the mine. These wireless nodes are operable for at least 8 hours and have a range of 80 m. The wireless network formed by HERMES allows both video data and sensor data to return to a base station outside the mine. A bespoke decimation in time compression video compression strategy is implemented which provides a basic monochrome video stream with 320 x 240 resolution. This enables video to be streamed through the HERMES network with an overall through-put of 160 kbps on the application level. This basic compression is investigated and evaluated and a video stream with a peak refresh-rate of 40 frames per second with an 800 millisecond response delay is achieved.
On Approximate Pricing of Spread Options via Conditional Value-at-Risk
Authors: Maksimov C. , Melnikov A.
Published: November 2021

It is widely accepted to use conditional value-at-risk for risk management needs and option pricing. As a rule, there are difficulties in exact calculations of conditional value-at-risk. In the paper, we use the conditional value-at-risk methodology to price spread options, extending some approximation approaches for these needs. Our results we illustrate by numerical calculations which demonstrate their effectiveness. We also show how conditional value-at-risk pricing can help with regulatory needs inspired by the Basel Accords.
Option Pricing under Randomised GBM Models
Authors: Campolieti G. , Kato H. , Makarov R.
Published: November 2021

By employing a randomisation procedure on the variance parameter of the standard geometric Brownian motion (GBM) model, we construct new families of analytically tractable asset pricing models. In particular, we develop two explicit families of processes that are respectively referred to as the randomised gamma (G) and randomised inverse gamma (IG) models, both characterised by a shape and scale parameter. Both models admit relatively simple closed-form analytical expressions for the transition density and the no-arbitrage prices of standard European-style options whose Black-Scholes implied volatilities exhibit symmetric smiles in the log-forward moneyness. Surprisingly, for integer-valued shape parameter and arbitrary positive real scale parameter, the analytical option pricing formulas involve only elementary functions and are even more straightforward than the standard (constant volatility) Black-Scholes (GBM) pricing formulas. Moreover, we show some interesting characteristics of the risk-neutral transition densities of the randomised G and IG models, both exhibiting fat tails. In fact, the randomised IG density only has finite moments of the order less than or equal to one. In contrast, the randomised G density has a finite first moment with finite higher moments depending on the time-to-maturity and its scale parameter. We show how the randomised G and IG models are efficiently and accurately calibrated to market equity option data, having pronounced implied volatility smiles across several strikes and maturities. We also calibrate the same option data to the wellknown SABR (Stochastic Alpha Beta Rho) model.

Gravity defined precisely with quarks – squaring the circle to achieve fine description of black hole physics, and understanding the formation of key constellations
Authors:   Florent Pirot
Published: November 2021

Gravity is redefined by drawing on the author’s works and inputting quark physics in a way consistent with it ; it allows to better understand black hole dynamics, black hole eruptions and some constellation patterns in the sky (the Scorpio, Ursa Minor and Ursa Major as well as Cassiopea for instance). The concept of gravitational lensing is rapidly differenciated from black hole eruptions. Some final remarks underline a possible threat for missions to the Moon.

O Livro Didático de Química (LDQ) é um recurso bastante utilizado no ambiente escolar, fazendo parte do planejamento e da prática do professor, contribuindo para o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Compreender como este recurso didático tem sido investigado se mostra pertinente. Neste sentido, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica sobre como as produções acadêmicas vêm abordando o LDQ, correlacionando com as 4 funções (referencial, ideológica/cultural, instrumental e documental) que o livro didático pode assumir. Desse modo, uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem qualitativa foi realizada em três etapas: investigação dos principais temas estudados sobre o LDQ no último decênio em periódicos; levantamento dos principais temas estudados sobre o LDQ nos três últimos anais do ENPEC e ENEQ; construção das categorias a priori fundamentadas na análise de conteúdo, a partir das funções do livro didático. A posteriori encontramos nove temas estudados nas produções científicas analisadas que se relacionam com as quatro funções. Os resultados revelam que dos 115 trabalhos analisados, pelo menos uma das quatro funções estava presente. Ademais, os dados apontam que a função referencial foi a que mais se apresentou em trabalhos publicados, em contrapartida a que teve menos trabalhos referidos foi a função documental. Por fim, este trabalho apresenta as características presentes nos LDQ e que pesquisas que abordam essas funções ainda são incipientes, indicando a importância desta pesquisa.

Precarizar para ganar. Un análisis de la precarización como mecanismo de enriquecimiento de las élites en Ecuador 2013-2019.
Authors: Báez Valencia Jonathan Xavier , Silva Zambrano Bryan Gonzalo
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo pone en evidencia la relación existente entre la precarización y el enriquecimiento de las élites empresariales en Ecuador, entre 2013 y 2019, desde una perspectiva relacional, a través del marco analítico planteado por Pérez Sáinz y Mora Salas (2008) sobre las desigualdades. Esto lleva a comprender la precarización como un mecanismo que condiciona el enriquecimiento de las élites. Desde esa visión también se abordan la normativa y la institucionalización de la captura empresarial del Estado, como una causal explicativa de la transformación de la precarización. Para tales fines se construyó un índice de precarización, utilizando la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo, Desempleo y Subempleo del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos del Ecuador. Además, para medir el enriquecimiento de las élites, se utilizó la base Conformación y Comportamiento Tributario de los Grupos Económicos, del Servicio de Rentas Internas.
neoliberalismo como ideología y sentido común
Authors: Acanda González Jorge Luis
Published: November 2021

Pese a las consecuencias terribles que, a lo largo de cuatro décadas, ha tenido la implantación y desarrollo del modelo político-económico-social del neoliberalismo, el mismo sigue presente en la inmensa mayoría de los países del mundo. El artículo explora algunas de las causas de su persistencia y busca entender la capacidad que ha tenido el neoliberalismo para convertirse en la ideología hegemónica, construyendo un sentido común que naturaliza y legitima sus principios fundamentales. De ahí la tesis de que el neoliberalismo se implanta «desde arriba», pero también «desde abajo», y que es necesaria una lucha que rompa los marcos estructurales que han generado su hegemonía.

The current phenomenon of understanding of organization and leadership in mosque youth organizations is still relatively lacking and doesn't really understand how to manage an organization effectively and efficiently so that organizational goals haven't been achieved optimally. This dedication aims to provide motivation to the management of youth mosques in Kerinjing Village to be more optimal and effective in organizational management. The dedication was carried out by means of lectures, training, and simulations to the mosque youth administrators in Kerinjing Village. The material provided is in the form of materials related to issues of leadership, conflict management, organizational management, and trial techniques. Through this dedication activity, it is hoped that it can provide skills for the administrators of youth mosques in Kerinjing village in managing organizations, forming management structures, and generating leadership talents. The expected output from this dedication activity is in the form of a final report and an article in a dedication journal. The results of this dedication are also expected to be the basis for the government in making policies and programs related to youth issues in rural areas.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has adversely affected almost every aspect of our lives but the world health and economic sectors suffer most of the repercussions of this disease. The search for a cure for this rapidly spreading virus which is causing massive life losses around the globe requires clear understanding of the immunopathogenesis of this virus as well as the mechanisms of actions of the various therapeutic modalities that are employed in the treatment of this life-threatening viral infection. Mesenchymal stem cells have antimicrobials effects in addition to their anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. They have been utilized in the treatment of various infections and their complications both in animal models and in human clinical trials. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from certain sources and their secretory products are particularly effective in the treatment of pneumonia, sepsis, acute lung injury, and acute respiratory distress syndrome which are common complications of COVID-19 infections. The review will discuss the various aspects of COVID-19 and it will highlight the promising role of mesenchymal stem cells in treating the complications of COVID-19 infections.
Prophetic Subjectivity in Later Levinas
Authors: Yampolskaya Anna
Published: November 2021

This paper explores how Levinas redefines the traditional notion of prophecy shifting the emphasis from the content of prophecy to the figure of the prophet, thus making prophetic inspiration a key feature of ethical subjectivity. The principal aim of the paper is to analyse the resulting triangular structure involving God and the Other. This structure is inherently unstable because God is incessantly stepping back in kenotic withdrawal. I show how this fundamental instability is reflected in the structure of the phenomenalisation of God’s glory, the structure of obedience to God’s order, and the structure of the authorship of prophecy. The prophetic experience is marked by heterogeneity; it can never be completely appropriated. Responsibility for the Other brings the subject to light as a witness of the glory of the Infinite, but not as the subject of selfidentification.
Walter Benjamin and the Weak Messianic Power
Authors: Denysenko Anatoliy
Published: November 2021

Walter Benjamin (1892-1940) was a German intellectual of Jewish descent, a well-known literary critic, philosopher, sociologist, translator and essayist, and a key figure in continental philosophy. His works on topics such as historical materialism, German idealism, and Jewish mysticism have had a marked influence on contemporary aesthetic theories and the development of Western Marxism, including the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory. These articles will focus on the analysis of the concept of messianism, which Benjamin develops in his work “On the concept of history” or “Theses on the philosophy of history” (1940). Messianism here is neither a theological dogma nor a modern figure of the utopian. Benjamin’s messianic time does not refer to the future, but to the urgency of the “now.” The author contrasts the “weak messianic force” of the tradition of the oppressed, which demands the past with the realization of happiness and liberation in the present, and Jetztzeit – a model of messianic time, open and nonlinear time of rupture, based on modern (contemporary) forms of collective experience past and liberation memory (Eingedenken).

Inherited metabolic diseases are a large group of inherited monogenic diseases. Metabolic disorders can cause child disability and mortality. Tandem mass spectrometry is a powerful technology that allows to diagnosis a large number of hereditary metabolic diseases. Clinical manifestations are variable, but more often the damages of nervous system, heart, liver, kidneys, hyperammonemia, hypo/hyperglycemia take place. The disease can make its debut at any age, but the severe forms of the disease manifest at infancy. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve the  prognosis; many countries expand the list of diseases included in screening programs. At the beginning of 2021 in most regions of the Russian Federation mass newborn screening is carried out for five hereditary metabolic diseases. The age and the range of clinical manifestation are variable; therefore, knowledge of this pathology is very important both for pediatricians and therapists, and for specialized doctors. The article presents a brief description of next groups of metabolic diseases: aminoacidopathies, organic acidurias and fatty acid oxidation defects.
Latissimus dorsi tendon transposition combined with shoulder joint proximal capsule plasty with peroneal longus tendon autograft in the treatment of patients with massive rotator cuff ruptures and proximal dislocation of the humerus head (clinical case)

The frequency of rotator cuff injuries in people over 45 years of age is 25.6–50 %, and  40  % of these injuries are massive. Shoulder rotator cuff injury causes disorders in biomechanics of the shoulder joint such as anterior-superior dislocation of the humeral head. Injury of the deltoid muscle combined with a massive rupture of the rotator cuff causes proximal dislocation of the humeral head during any active movement. In  the  treatment of these cases, surgical methods of treatment are used, such as transposition of the latissimus dorsi muscle, proximal capsule plasty, and reverse shoulder arthroplasty. We present a successful clinical case of treatment of a patient with chronic massive injury of the right shoulder joint rotator cuff tendons in combination with the injury of shoulder joint proximal capsule, dislocation of the right humerus head, and hypotrophy of the anterior portion of the deltoid muscle. We performed transposition of the latissimus dorsi tendon in combination with shoulder joint proximal capsule plasty with an autograft of the peroneal longus tendon. The check-up X-rays show that the dislocation of the right shoulder joint was eliminated. In the early postoperative period, the patient started physiotherapy exercises of the operated limb using abduction pillow. By the 7th day after surgery, the abduction of the operated limb reached 70°. The described surgical technique allows to restore congruence in the shoulder joint and the function of the injured limb in severe multiple injuries of the shoulder joint structures.
