Published: November 2024

While considerable polling and research suggests that religious differences exist between Democrats and Republicans, little research has quantitatively examined such specific hypothesized differences in relation to religious ideology, political affiliation, and communication. Our research (a part of a series of quantitative based investigations into religious-based communication) examines the relationship between political affiliation, biological sex, several measures of religiosity, and four variables previously shown to be associated with communication: (1) tolerance for disagreement, (2) the willingness to communicate, (3) communication apprehension, and (4) receiver apprehension. Results of a MANOVA and confirmatory ANOVAs suggest that numerous statistically significant differences in religiosity and communication do exist between and within the political affiliations.
From "Living Hell" to "New Normal"
Authors: Mayer Jennifer , Richardson Brian K. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

Women in the sex industry struggle with societal stigma, drug and alcohol addiction, poverty, and spiritual disillusionment. It is no surprise then that many of them attempt to end their participation in this industry. This study illuminates how personal narratives develop throughout the process of shedding stigmatized identities and how mutual support within the Christian church functions as a tool in establishing new identities. Twenty former female sex workers participated in focus group interviews to explore their experiences attempting to leave the sex industry. Social identity theory provides the theoretical framework of this research, with results indicating that female former sex workers share common narratives that reveal experiences of a "Living Hell," transitional language, and ultimate identification with traditional norms. A model describing the process of shedding stigmatized identities andforming new ones is offered. This research specifically highlights the role of religion and narrative in transforming female sex workers' lives.
The Nature and Future of Religious Communication Scholarship
Authors: Schultze Quentin J. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

This essay looks at the current scope of religious communication research and its continued growth in the field of communication. This growth is attributed to religion's continuing influence in all human interaction and communication. This essay also contends that religious communication research can be approached with either communication or religion as the primary interpretive lens but that communication research that is driven by a religious faith, or a grounded perspective, is what continues to stimulate interest in the intersection between religion and communication. The author concludes with an encouragement for communication scholars to pursue research that addresses the dispersion of postmodem thought, communication as an act of faith, and religious communication that contributes to civic discourse.
Time in Rhetoric
Authors: Kiewe Amos ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: November 2024

In this essay I examine the notion that temporality is foundational to two related documents issued by the Catholic Church: The 1965 Vatican II: Nostra Aetate, and a corresponding 1974 committee report on the relationship of the Church with the Jewish people. Both documents repudiate anti-Semitism and instruct their followers to do the same. Both documents, I contend, are able to advance their argument by refraining assumptions of temporality. The very ability to seek an end to centuries of anti-Semitism was made possible by the introduction of a new notion of temporality that could counter a long-standing temporality that was used to ground anti-Semitism in the antiquity and many centuries thereafter.

Cultural Sensitivity Exploration: Client Experiences with The Therapeutic Community Method at The National Narcotics Agency Rehabilitation Center
Authors: Hardi Siahaan Roy
Published: November 2024

Drug abuse is one of the major challenges in global society. Data in the World Drug Report issued by UNODC shows that around 292 million people in the world will use drugs in 2024. The significant impact of this occurs in the younger generation. This study aims to analyze the experiences of clients undergoing inpatient rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Center of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) Indonesia using the Therapeutic Community (TC) method. This method facilitates social interaction and learning from shared experiences in an environment that supports the recovery process. Through semi-structured interviews with six clients from various provinces, this study found that cultural sensitivity plays an important role in increasing the effectiveness of rehabilitation. Clients can find their identity, form close relationships with fellow residents based on similar backgrounds, and understand diversity in the community. However, challenges arise from cultural differences that sometimes clash with TC values, requiring adaptation and understanding among clients. The results of the study indicate that the TC method at the BNN Rehabilitation Center was derived not only to contribute to the reduction of maladaptive behavior, but also to encourage the development of communication skills, emotional management, and independence. Although clients feel many benefits from the rehabilitation process, there is a need to increase recreational activities to prevent boredom. This study recommends the need for a more inclusive approach in understanding the cultural diversity of clients for more optimal results in drug rehabilitation.

Authors: Amani Zulfa
Published: November 2024

Kegiatan jual beli adalah hal yang sudah menjadi kebutuhan sehari-hari dan umum dilakukan. Di dalam kegiatan jual beli terdapat juga sistem pembayaran yang dilakukan oleh penjual dan pembeli. Dewasa ini, sistem pembayaran yang tersedia memiliki berbagai macam pilihan, diantara sistem pembayaran tersebut, masyarakat Indonesia banyak yang menyukai pembayaran dengan sistem COD (Cash On Delivery). Sistem COD secara singkat berarti pembayaran yang dilakukan langsung saat di tempat temu yang ditentukan. Seiring berjalan nya waktu, sistem COD juga digunakan dalam pembayaran e-commerce, yang membuat pertemuan antara pembeli tidak lagi langsung kepada penjual, namun menggunakan pihak ketiga yakni kurir. Sayangnya, penggunaan pihak ketiga dalam COD seringkali menimbulkan beberapa konflik yang terjadi, akibat adanya kesalahpahaman antara pembeli dan penjual. Maka hal ini perlu ditelaah lebih dalam agar mengurangi dampak negatif tersebut. Perlu juga bagi masyarakat muslim Indonesia mendalami keabsahan sistem pembayaran COD dari segi hukum Islam, apakah memenuhi rukun dan syarat jual beli dan adakah hak pembeli untuk mengembalikan atau membatalkan barang jika terjadi ketidak sesuaian dengan akad jual beli tersebut. Teknik pengumpulan data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pengumpulan data sekunder. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, sistem pembayaran COD boleh dan halal dilakukan dalam hukum islam, karena telah memenuhi syarat-syarat jual beli.

Hidden Threats Within: Unravelling Cardiac Amyloidosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Victoria Miauro Cynthia
Published: November 2024

Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune condition, has widespread effects on various bodily systems, typically appearing as joint dysfunction. This persistent inflammation in the joints can lead to a gradual decline in a person's ability to carry out their daily activities. Additionally, the accumulation of serum amyloid A (AA), a type of acute-phase protein, in different organs can result in systemic AA amyloidosis, a rare but serious complication often associated with chronic inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In AA amyloidosis, the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract are the most commonly affected organs, while cardiac involvement occurs in roughly 10% of cases. Cardiac amyloidosis presents as restrictive cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and conduction disorders, ultimately leading to a reduced quality of life and, in severe cases, death. This disease is classified into two subtypes: transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) and immunoglobulin light chain cardiac amyloidosis (AL- CA), based on the specific precursor protein that forms amyloid deposits within the heart muscle. Rheumatologists should remain vigilant for the development of AA amyloidosis in RA patients to enable early intervention.
A Clinical Course of Repeated Supratherapeutic Ingestion of Acetaminophen
Authors: Shah Neelay , Campbell Hunter , Patel Vishal , Moormeier Jill
Published: November 2024

Acute liver failure (ALF) represents a rapid decline in liver function among individuals with previously healthy livers, often manifesting through symptoms like jaundice, confusion, and potentially life-threatening complications. Timely medical intervention, and in severe instances, liver transplantation, are essential for enhancing outcomes and averting further deterioration. While the causes of ALF are multifaceted, in developed nations, it predominantly arises from drug-induced liver injury. Treatment primarily revolves around supportive measures, with severe cases necessitating liver transplantation. In instances where acute overdose with acetaminophen serves as the instigating factor, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) emerges as a pivotal component of management, as indicated by the Rumack-Matthew nomogram. The Rumack-Matthew nomogram guides treatment for acetaminophen overdose by correlating serum levels with the risk of liver damage. If levels exceed a set threshold, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is administered to prevent toxicity by replenishing glutathione. The decision to administer NAC is typically guided by this clinical tool, which aids healthcare providers in determining the appropriate course of action. NAC assumes a critical role in ameliorating the detrimental effects of acetaminophen overdose, particularly in averting liver damage, thus holding significant importance in patient care and recovery. While chronic acetaminophen overdose cases leading to ALF may also benefit from NAC, the supporting evidence remains weak. In this context, we present a case of ALF stemming from chronic acetaminophen ingestion, managed with NAC when liver transplantation was not a viable option.

The Effect of Martial Arts on the Production of Mood Regulating Neurotransmitters: Point of View
Authors: Duarte Jonatas Deivyson Reis da Silva , Barros Elizeu Alves , Babic Matej
Published: November 2024

Due to the increasing number of people with anxiety and depression, pharmacological and alternative mechanisms become increasingly important forms of treatment. From the physiological point of view, it is characterized as the low production of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain. The mechanisms for increasing these neurotransmitters have been gaining attention in the medical literature. The antidepressant drugs available on the market seek to address the dysregulation of these neurotransmitters. It is known that physical exercise has the non-pharmacological effect of increasing these neurotransmitters, especially aerobic exercise. However, it has rarely been discussed in the literature regarding the effect of martial arts on the production of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Two studies were found to analyze serotonin with tai chi chuan and taekwondo (both oriental martial arts). Regarding dopamine, only one study involving taekwondo was found (in which no increase in dopamine levels was observed). Concomitantly, no studies were found analyzing norepinephrine. In this sense, future studies with this theme are necessary in order to bring information that may help medical professionals, psychologists, martial arts teachers and mainly, the carriers of anxiety and depression.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To evaluate the anesthetic management of drug-addicted patients at Kouba Hospital in 2019 and identify areas for improvement.
Materials and Methods: An audit was conducted specifically targeting anesthesiologists to evaluate their practices in the anesthetic management of drug-addicted patients. The evaluation focused on various aspects including systematic preoperative screening for drug addiction, knowledge of the substances consumed, potential drug interactions, anesthetic techniques used, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Results: The participation rate was 88%. 36.40% of the cases were emergencies. Only 11.40% of the physicians systematically conducted preoperative screening for drug addiction. The main identified deficiencies were in the systematic screening for drug addiction during the preoperative phase and familiarity with the anesthetic management of drug-addicted patients. However, good knowledge of the drugs consumed and their effects was present among some physicians, and interdisciplinary collaboration with psychiatrists was observed in 70.80% of cases.
Conclusion: While interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge of drugs and their effects are present, improvements are needed in the systematic screening for drug addiction during the preoperative phase and the training of anesthesiologists in the specific management of these patients. Increased awareness, continuous training, and better integration of knowledge into clinical protocols could contribute to improving outcomes and patient safety for drug-addicted patients during anesthesia.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
            Regional language research is a means of supporting efforts to foster, develop and standardize national languages. In this regard, it is hoped that research on the Balinese language can make this contribution. From the information in various literature so far, especially in the field of morphophonology, there is not a complete picture. In this regard, this problem was raised as study material.
            The morphophonological aspect that will be discussed only includes nasal prefixes. To solve the problems above, in this study the theories of Generative Morphology and Generative Phonology are applied. As a result of the discussion, it is known that the morphophonological process of Balinese nasal prefixes, namely (1) the process of assimilating the prefix /ŋ-/ to become ŋ-; (2) the assimilation process of the prefix /ŋ-/ which is followed by the addition of the phoneme /ə/, and (3) the process of assimilation of the prefix /ŋ-/ to /m-, n-, ñ-, and ŋ-/ which is followed by the deletion of the consonant phoneme.
Key words: morphophonology, nasal prefixes, Balinese

Three-dimensional Perspective on Heller’s Theory of Need
Authors: Pu Putian
Published: November 2024

赫勒对需要理论的建构隐藏着“历史-现实-理想”的总体透视。赫勒认识到现存社会体制中人的需要被支配和奴役，她回到马克思需要理论的原初语境，考察需要问题的“历史在场”，反思东欧国家苏联模式社会主义在政治、经济、文化等方面的过度僭越以及对个体需要的忽视；鞭笞资本主义国家以“利润”为目的的需要遮蔽了人们真实的需要，导致资产阶级丰富需要与工人阶级赤贫需要之间的分裂与反差，工人的根本需要得不到满足。她提出重建需要的结构，并以未来“联合生产者社会”为蓝本，阐释了扬弃异化需要的多个维度。重新审视赫勒需要理论的建构路径，有助于我们深入理解赫勒批判异化需要的逻辑进程，为现阶段我们对美好生活需要的研究和分析提供了重要的借鉴和启示。

Тракийските беси
Authors: Делев Петър
Published: November 2024

В седма книга на Херодот, в пасажа, посветен на сатрите, който сам по себе си е част от описанието на похода на армията на Ксеркс през Тракия през 480 г. пр.н.е., името на бесите се споменава изолирано. Текстът е енигматичен и често е бил обект на обсъждане; съществуват две основни мнения за тълкуването му, като по-често поддържаното е, че бесите от Сатрае са били жреци (или по-скоро ясновидци) в светилището (на Дионис); алтернативното - че жреците в светилището, което е принадлежало на Сатрае, са били беси. Освен всички останали проблеми съществува известна несигурност в предаването на името, като някои от кодексите дават Βησσοί, а други Βισσοί; вторият вариант няма известни аналогии и е категорично отхвърлен от всички редактори на текста. След Херодот името на сатрите изчезва напълно от всички антични текстове (с изключение на паралелните случаи у Херодот и Стефан Византийски, които цитират Хекатей), докато това на бесите в крайна сметка ще се появи отново в редица съобщения, отнасящи се до късната елинистическа епоха (II и I в. пр. Хр.), като се започне от Полибий и след това постепенно се превърне в един от най-популярните тракийски етноними.
La oración, luz de la fe y de la vida cristiana
Authors: García Gutiérrez Jesús Manuel
Published: November 2024

En “tiempos recios” como los que vivimos, la oración está bajo sospecha: ¿Qué sentido tiene rezar hoy? Se intenta responder a éste y otros interrogantes a partir de las vivencias excelentes de personas que no solo han logrado dar sentido a la oración, sino que han obtenido que su relación personal de amistad con Dios se convierta en modo de vivir, en actitud fundamental de su existencia, en luz que vence toda tiniebla. De los grandes orantes aprendemos a cultivar una vida interior que nos permita ver y leer la existencia con los ojos y la mente de Cristo; descubrir a Dios en los acontecimientos de la vida y, sobre todo, en la presencia ineludible del otro. La oración, luz de la fe y de la vida, o es encarnada y solidaria o no es cristiana

Published: November 2024

Background

Underrepresented minority students in medicine (URiM) encounter numerous obstacles while pursuing careers in medicine. One significant challenge is the financial burdens of pursuing a career in medicine. Specifically the application process for residency away rotations can be financially costly, and these rotations have become increasingly vital for medical students to match into competitive specialties. Because of these financial obstacles, residency programs have implemented visiting student diversity scholarships to alleviate this financial burden and foster diversity in orthopedic surgery. The aim of this investigation was to provide a comprehensive review and centralized source of information for the growing number of student diversity scholarships for away rotations in orthopedic surgery.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of ERAS-participating orthopedic surgery programs (n=203) from the 2023/2024 application cycle. The study utilized residency and program web domains to collect information on the monetary value of the scholarship, number of scholarships being offered, eligibility criteria, and required application documents.

Results

This study found that approximately 34% (n=67) of programs offer a scholarship for URiM visiting medical students. The average number of scholarships offered per program was 5 ± 4.6 with an average value per scholarship of $1,856.6 ± $706.6. Most programs defined eligibility of URiM status in a statement similar to that of the AAMCs. Low socioeconomic status was accounted for in 8 (11.9%) programs. Most programs (90%) catered only to 4th-year medical students, 15 required USMLE Step 1 scores, and 16 required letters of recommendation. The application deadline was anywhere from January 30th to June 30th of that year.

Conclusion

This study serves as a centralized resource for URiM students seeking away rotations in orthopedic surgery. It is encouraging to see numerous URiM scholarships are available and enhancing their availability will advance inclusivity in the field. Perhaps programs can collectively list their URiM scholarships on the AAMC website to increase awareness and encourage application for these resources which will hopefully positively impact our field of orthopaedic surgery.

The Net Promoter Score (NPS) has been recently validated as a reliable instrument for measuring loyalty among users of Low-Cost fitness centres. However, the number of studies that have tested its validity to discriminate and show differences between centres, chains or other socio-demographic variables is still limited. For this reason, the present research was carried out with the aim of analysing whether there are differences in the NPS score between different sociodemographic variables. For this study, a survey was carried out by means of an on-line questionnaire to a total of 3,832 users of 47 Low-Cost sports centres. The instrument used was composed of the subjective loyalty item Net Promoter Score, as well as several sociodemographic questions of interest. The questionnaire responses were collected and analysed using JASP software for inferential analysis. According to the results, significant differences were found according to the sex of the users, the company distributing the service and the autonomous community where the centres were located. Future research should analyse possible differences in the NPS score according to other socio-demographic variables such as members longevity or frequency of use.
