Prerequisites and barriers to telerehabilitation in patients with neurological conditions: A narrative review
Authors: Kurtaiş Aytür Yeşim
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: A field of study that uses telerehabilitation (TR) is neurorehabilitation; however, standards for medical and technological applications, medicolegal and ethical regulations, and other aspects of neuro-TR are still being developed. OBJECTIVE: To address the prerequisites and barriers for implementing TR in neurorehabilitation in the light of present findings. METHODS: A narrative review was conducted based on specific questions about the prerequisites for neuro-TR and barriers to its implication. According to a foreground search strategy in the context of neurorehabilitation using TR in neurological patient population, PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched and reviewed. RESULTS: Barriers and prerequisites for neuro-TR were mostly grouped under the categories of administrative/organizational, human (beneficiaries/providers), technical, and ethical. Apart from the technical framework, knowledge and the presence of an administrative leader responsible for overseeing TR are crucial prerequisites. The internet and technological constraints rank highest among the barriers. CONCLUSION: Since neuro-TR is relatively new with minimal guidelines and regulations, highly technologic, and lack of established practices, it is imperative to determine and fully comprehend the criteria for its uses. After the prerequisites are established, it is imperative to recognize and address implementation constraints, which may differ depending on the community’s infrastructure and neurologic condition.

Authors: Traub-Merz Rudolf , Oehm Manfred
Published: September 2024

Between 2018 and 2022, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES, lead agency) in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) conducted an empirical research project on ‘informal employment, social security, and political trust in sub-Saharan Africa’. Our opinion poll provides novel insight into informality and sheds light on the views and perceptions of people informally employed with regard to health issues, views on trust in state and government, self-organization, and interest in trade unions. The project improves the understanding of access to public goods and their provision; offers entry points for policymaking to provide social protection for the large (informal) majority of the African labor force; and establishes findings about distributional justice.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

Discussed based on the network interactive platform of structured care for patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in the process of hemodialysis.

OBJECTIVE:

This study seeks to elucidate the application value of structured nursing, deployed through network interaction platforms, in sustaining patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

METHODS:

A total of 62 patients diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) between April 2022 and August 2023 were randomly allocated into two distinct care groups: conventional and structured nursing care based on a web-interactive platform. Both cohorts were comparatively analyzed with respect to psychological states, quality of life within therapeutic interventions, and relationships with complications. Renal function indicators, including Creatinine Clearance (Ccr), Serum Creatinine (SCr), and Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), were subjected to Pearson analysis to appraise their predictive value in prognostication, while Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was constructed to further discern their diagnostic precision.

RESULTS:

Post-intervention, notable improvements were observed in the emotional states of patients in both cohorts, with the structured care group exhibiting significantly lower Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores ([Formula: see text] 0.05). Furthermore, patients under the web-interactive structured nursing regimen demonstrated superior overall adherence, a reduced incidence rate of complications, and markedly higher scores in quality of life assessments compared to those under conventional care ([Formula: see text] 0.05). The derived cut-off values for Ccr, SCr, and BUN were 32.5 ml/min, 251.5 umol/L, and 14.5 mmol/L, respectively, with sensitivities and specificities pegged at 0.645% and 0.645% for Ccr, 0.774% and 0.548% for SCr, and 0.774% and 0.774% for BUN. The corresponding areas under the ROC curve (AUC) for each parameter were 0.816, 0.653, and 0.856, respectively.

CONCLUSION:

Comprehensive hemodialysis care for patients with chronic renal failure can improve self-care ability to improve quality of life and reduce the incidence of complications, which has great potential for clinical progress and is worthy of further research.
Revolutionizing health monitoring: Integrating transformer models with multi-head attention for precise human activity recognition using wearable devices
Authors: Muniasamy Anandhavalli
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

A daily activity routine is vital for overall health and well-being, supporting physical and mental fitness. Consistent physical activity is linked to a multitude of benefits for the body, mind, and emotions, playing a key role in raising a healthy lifestyle. The use of wearable devices has become essential in the realm of health and fitness, facilitating the monitoring of daily activities. While convolutional neural networks (CNN) have proven effective, challenges remain in quickly adapting to a variety of activities.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to develop a model for precise recognition of human activities to revolutionize health monitoring by integrating transformer models with multi-head attention for precise human activity recognition using wearable devices.

METHODS:

The Human Activity Recognition (HAR) algorithm uses deep learning to classify human activities using spectrogram data. It uses a pretrained convolution neural network (CNN) with a MobileNetV2 model to extract features, a dense residual transformer network (DRTN), and a multi-head multi-level attention architecture (MH-MLA) to capture time-related patterns. The model then blends information from both layers through an adaptive attention mechanism and uses a SoftMax function to provide classification probabilities for various human activities.

RESULTS:

The integrated approach, combining pretrained CNN with transformer models to create a thorough and effective system for recognizing human activities from spectrogram data, outperformed these methods in various datasets – HARTH, KU-HAR, and HuGaDB produced accuracies of 92.81%, 97.98%, and 95.32%, respectively. This suggests that the integration of diverse methodologies yields good results in capturing nuanced human activities across different activities. The comparison analysis showed that the integrated system consistently performs better for dynamic human activity recognition datasets.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, maintaining a routine of daily activities is crucial for overall health and well-being. Regular physical activity contributes substantially to a healthy lifestyle, benefiting both the body and the mind. The integration of wearable devices has simplified the monitoring of daily routines. This research introduces an innovative approach to human activity recognition, combining the CNN model with a dense residual transformer network (DRTN) with multi-head multi-level attention (MH-MLA) within the transformer architecture to enhance its capability.

Authors: Ji Yanping , Ding Qingbin , Bu Tianyi , Wang Kun , Zhang Jing , Wang Xue
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

Cirrhosis is one of the most common clinical diseases in the world. The patient with cirrhosis has many complications, such as spontaneous peritonitis, hepatic encephalopathy. Malnutrition is one of the most common complications in patients with cirrhosis, and it is also a key factor affecting the prognosis of patients. However, the research on cirrhosis malnutrition is relatively scarce.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to explore the new factors of the liver cirrhosis with the nutritional status.

METHODS:

A total of 370 patients with liver cirrhosis were admitted to the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2019 to January 2023 were selected. Patients were assigned to the malnourished group and normal group. The weight, height, mid arm circumference (MAC) and triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) of the two groups were measured. Body mass index (BMI) and mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) were calculated. Furthermore, the Health Literacy Management Scale (HeLMS), biochemical indexes, incidence of complications, disease grade were also counted and the Royal Free Hospital-Nutrition Prioritization Tool were used to evaluate the nutritional status of the patient.

RESULTS:

A total of 370 patients was included in this study, including 177 malnutrition patients, accounting for 45.29%, and the scores and total scores of the patients in the malnutrition group were lower than those in the normal group. The measured values of Na[Formula: see text], Alb, PA, T-Bil, TC, TLC, Hb, and RBC were all lower than those of the normal group, and the difference was statistically significant. The overall complication rate of the patients in the malnourished group was 89.61%, and that of the normal group was 39.78%. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was performed with nutritional level as the dependent variable (normal [Formula: see text] 0, malnutrition [Formula: see text] 1), and the above indicators of variability (Na[Formula: see text], Alb, PA, T-Bil, TC, PT, Hb, RBC, HG, and HeLMS scores) as the independent variables. The results showed that Na[Formula: see text], Hb were the influencing factors of nutritional level ([Formula: see text] 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The incidence of malnutrition in cirrhotic patients included in this study was at a moderate level, and the nutritional literacy of these patients was low. In addition, the level of serum sodium, Hemoglobin can affect the nutritional level of patients with cirrhosis.

Role and mechanism of LINC02390 and its potential target genes, CLECL1 and CD69, in immune microenvironment of lung adenocarcinoma
Authors: Luo Haichao , Chen Ran , Wang Changying , Chen Qitian
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

Targeted therapy and immunotherapy has brought new hope to patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) with their applications. However, the prognosis of LUAD patients is still unpromising.

OBJECTIVE:

It is particularly important to find the biomarkers that can predict the prognosis of LUAD. In our previous study, we found that patients with high expression of LINC02390 had a better prognosis. The clinical significance of LINC02390 and its potential target genes, CLECL1 and CD69, in the prognosis of LUAD and its role in the immune microenvironment were explored.

METHODS:

Through the survival analysis, LINC02390 and its potential target genes, CLECL1 and CD69, were identified as good prognostic factors for LUAD. According to GO and KEGG analyses, LINC02390-related genes were identified potentially involved in immune-related signaling pathways. Gene mutations and their relationship with immune cell infiltration were verified through the online cbioportal and TIMER database.

RESULTS:

CD69 was found to positively associate with CD8 [Formula: see text] T cells and CLECL1 was also positively associated with CD4 [Formula: see text] T cells. A high expression of CD69 in CD8 [Formula: see text] T cells was identified through the single-cell sequencing dataset GSE111894. Finally, CLECL1 and CD69 were lowly expressed in clinical tissue samples with LUAD by immunohistochemical staining.

CONCLUSIONS:

LINC02390 and its possible target genes, CLECL1 and CD69, may be potential targets for the immunotherapy in LUAD patients.
A Bayesian network analysis of the probabilistic relationships between metabolically healthy obesity and cardiovascular disease risk under new diagnostic criteria
Authors: Chen Shuo , Wu Peixian , Peng Weiqun , Zhang Hongai
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND:

The relationship between metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk remains debated. The critical point may be the lack of consensus on MHO’s definition and diagnostic criteria.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aimed to investigate the association of MHO status with arteriosclerosis-CVD (ASCVD) risk in Chinese under new diagnostic criteria.

METHODS:

Participants aged 35–79 in the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey cohort were included. The 10-year ASCVD risk was predicted by the prediction for ASCVD risk in China, and participants with a predicted risk of [Formula: see text] 10% were classified into the high-risk group. The Bayesian network (BN) models were constructed to characterize the multivariable probabilistic connections between metabolically obesity phenotypes and ASCVD risk.

RESULTS:

The 10-year ASCVD risk score and the proportion of individuals at ASCVD high risk were significantly different between metabolically obesity phenotypes ([Formula: see text] 0.001). BN reasoning results showed that MHO individuals were not significantly associated with a 10-year ASCVD risk. Among metabolically unhealthy individuals, the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk increased with the Body Mass Index (BMI), with the conditional probability of high ASCVD risk was 24.63% (95% CI: 22.81–26.55%), 32.97% (95% CI: 30.75–35.27%) and 40.2% (95% CI: 36.64–43.86%) for metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW), metabolically healthy overweight weight (MHOW), and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) group, respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that MHO individuals were at increased risk of CVD compared with metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) individuals only in females.

CONCLUSION:

These results showed that there was no significant increase in ASCVD risk of MHO phenotype based on the new diagnostic criteria, suggesting that MHO is in a relatively healthy state.
Postural analysis and ergonomic intervention of unorganized workers in indian construction sectors
Authors: Kumar Guru Prakash , Thangavelu Ramesh Babu
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: In India’s fast-growing economy, the construction sector offers significant developments with huge employment opportunities but poses risks due to poor working environments and uncomfortable postures. Traditional methods, such as manual material handling, can lead to health hazards and musculoskeletal disorders such as overexertion, low back pain, etc. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the working postures of unorganized employees engaged in residential buildings using Ergofellow software and to recommend changes in their unsafe working postures. METHODS: Participants’ working positions were video recorded and the postures were analyzed using Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) and Ovako Working Posture Analysis (OWAS). Paired sample t-tests were used to analyze significant differences between the RULA and REBA scores after the ergonomic interventions were implemented. RESULTS: From the analysis of RULA, REBA and OWAS, the working postures showed a high risk of potential injury and required an immediate change in employees’ working postures. The RULA and REBA scores were subsequently lower after the ergonomic interventions, which were based on ergonomic and safety principles. The paired sample t-tests with p-values of less than 0.05 demonstrated decreased risks after ergonomic interventions. CONCLUSION: Working postures of the construction workers exposed to musculoskeletal disorders were examined and the ergonomic interventions were implemented. According to the recommendations, working positions were changed, and employee well-being was enhanced by reduced operational risks.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations (UN) have promoted the concept of decent work as a Sustainable Development Goal for 2030 to address critical global problems. Occupational safety and health (OSH) are components of decent work, primarily through the ILO social protection objective of the goal, and are linked to various other objectives. OBJECTIVE: This Commentary applies a previously published staging framework to stimulate thinking about how the OSH field can contribute further to the achievement of decent work. METHODS: To advance the contribution of the framework, the different functions of OSH (research, practice, advocacy, governance, and professional education) were used to identify impediments to achieving decent work and develop recommendations for each determinant in the framework. RESULTS: Promoting and achieving decent work are complex issues that require a multifactorial approach. Numerous recommendations supporting systems thinking and transdisciplinary approaches are provided. CONCLUSIONS: The OSH field can expand to further address decent work.
External Debt the State for Indonesia’s Economic Development in Perspetive of Islamic
Authors: Cindy Suhety , Wati Nely Rahma , Rizmaharani Amalia
Published: September 2024

In a country, economic development is the process of how that country can develop. National development is carried out in order to achieve a developed country and make the people there prosperous. Economic development cannot be separated from a country, the process and impact reap many pros and cons in various ways. In its continuity, economic development will not occur without being accompanied by the provision of large capital funds. Often the government brings in funds or, let's say, borrows funds from foreign countries to support the success of economic development. As a result, foreign debt has piled up, hampering economic development. Foreign debt that occurs in developing countries, especially Indonesia, cannot be avoided. Foreign debt occurs due to various factors, one of which is limited human resources that are less effective, which indirectly forces a country to borrow funds from foreign countries because an ineffective workforce does not produce sufficient financial resources for economic development. From an Islamic legal perspective, foreign debt contains the element of usury, why is that because foreign debt always contains interest, in Islam anything that contains usury is clearly not permitted. Of course, the government, especially the Indonesian government, must pay attention to this matter.
Personality Virtualisation as a Cultural Phenomenon of Digital Society
Authors: Buhaiov Mykola
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the work is to analyse the phenomenon of personal virtualisation as a manifestation of modern technological society, to identify the indicators of self-construction of a virtual personality, and to explore the consequences of internetisation for a modern individual, who can simultaneously inhabit both physical and digital environments. The research methodology involved the use of analysis and synthesis methods to establish the influence of Internet technologies on individual self-identification; a synergistic approach was employed to trace the socio-cultural dynamics of the spread of the phenomenon of personal virtualisation and the formation of new value orientations; the psychological method was utilised to reveal the motivation of modern individuals to virtualise their “self”. The scientific novelty of the article lies in its substantiation of personal virtualisation as a cultural phenomenon that shapes the further development of digital society. Conclusions. The phenomenon of personality virtualisation emerges as a consequence of the virtualisation of reality, which stands as a significant cultural factor prompting modern individuals to experiment with their identities, multiplying their “self” and realising them across various contexts an infinite number of times. The artificially created virtual space fulfils individuals' needs for acquiring new knowledge, experiencing heightened emotions, and serves as an online platform for creative self-discovery and expression. The continuous production of virtual iterations of oneself impacts the psychological and cognitive attributes of individuals, alters their perception of the real socio-cultural environment, and engenders an alternative virtual worldview.
Archetypes of Visual Content of Social Media (on the Example of Advertising Videos)
Authors: Ovcharenko Andrii
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the use of twelve archetypes (K. Pearson's concept) in modern visual content of social media using the example of advertising videos. Research methodology. The analytical method, the method of systemic, typological and structural-functional analysis, as well as the semiotic and phenomenological method were applied. Scientific novelty. The peculiarities of the use of archetypes (K. Pearson's concept) in modern visual content of social media are considered using the example of advertising videos; the archetypes of the Rebel, the Explorer, the Hero and the Ruler are analyzed as cultural universals and typical images of the visual content of social media at the current stage; the peculiarities of the use of archetypes in the process of influencing users - potential recipients are revealed. Conclusions. The cultural practice of the digital society is implemented within the innovatively organized semiosphere, which is characterized by the blurring of internal boundaries, which in turn leads to new forms of interaction between elite and mass culture. The specificity of the use of archetypal images, in accordance with the transculturality of the vocabulary of the visual Internet context, involves the creation of a visual text using coding, which can be equally easily deciphered by users belonging to different ethnic, linguistic and cultural groups. The fundamental influence on the features of visual Internet content is exerted by the environment of new media, which is dominated by the spectacular presentation of information, bright visual vocabulary and dynamic presentation. Speed, efficiency, demonstrability, the predominance of the latest technical effects in digital visual content cause the user's dependence on new images, effects and elements of the visualization vocabulary. Accordingly, visual archetypal images are created based on the principle of attracting and retaining the user's attention. The role of archetypes as cultural universals in the process of advertising influence on the viewer is fundamental, since on their basis an appeal to certain aspects of human consciousness and being is formed with the aim of effective influence on a potential recipient. Thus, appealing to one or several archetypes and creating a visual series based on them is the basis of the influence of the advertising video as a tool of "cultural management". The video's appeal to a specific archetype can be seen as a definition of the cultural theme on the basis of which the advertising message is built.

Authors: Andrianova Olena , Biskulova Svitlana
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to research works of easel painting by Wilhelm Kotarbinski from the collection of the Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko National Museum of Art, to establish their execution technique, to study art materials, to identify the pigment palette, and to introduce the results into scientific circulation. The methodology of the work consisted of an integrated approach that included theoretical (generalisation, comparison) and empirical (optical and physicochemical) research methods, such as imaging in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, optical microscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Scientific novelty. The presented work is the first study of Wilhelm Kotarbinski's paintings from the museum's collection, which aims to establish the technological characteristics of the fabric supports and grounds, determine the author's painting technique, and identify the pigments inherent in the artist's palette of the early 20th century. Conclusions. The research has shown that the author used commercial ready-primed plain weave linen canvases of various densities as a painting support. The characteristics and composition of the grounds were determined. It has been established that Kotarbinski's artist’s painting technique included applying a paint layer on the backside of the primed canvas. It is shown that in the executive process, the author finalised the painting with clarifications of image details or compositional corrections. The pigments of the paint layer have been identified. The palette inherent to the artist's early 20th century works was established. The obtained results allowed us to confirm the museum attribution of Wilhelm Kotarbinski's paintings. They are an important contribution to the existing body of knowledge about the Khanenko Museum's collection and can be useful in studying and confirming the authenticity of Kotarbinski's artworks.

Authors: Reva Yanina , Zolotareva-Pasyuta Natalia
Published: September 2024

The purpose of research is to reveal the synergy of sound and movement, which is manifested in the interaction of music and dance. Research methodology. The following research methods were used to achieve the goal: comparison, systematisation, analysis, and generalisation of the researched problem. Scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that we propose a new perspective on the interaction of music and dance, considering them not just as two separate art forms, but as a synergistic system where a holistic impression of a dance performance arises as a result of their mutual enrichment. Conclusions. The interaction of music and dance is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has been explored and interpreted by various artists and scholars for centuries. This dynamic relationship underlies the formation of a new artistic vision that enriches our spiritual life. The synergy of sound and movement creates a unique aesthetic experience that cannot be reduced to a simple summation of the two art forms. Music and dance not only complement each other, but also transform, revealing new facets of their expressiveness, creating a holistic impression of a dance performance. The connection between music and dance is based on the common features of their imagery and perception. The interaction between music and dance is not limited to synthetic genres, but permeates the entire history of these art forms, manifesting itself in numerous borrowings, stylisations and interpretations. The results of the study can be used to better understand the creative process in choreography and music, as well as to create new synthetic art forms.
"Symphonic Etudies" and "Kreisleriana" by R. Schumann in the Representation of Biedermeyer and Romantic Cycling of Piano Miniatures
Authors: Vovchenko Hanna
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this work is to highlight the Biedermeier components of Schumann's creative method in line with the pianistic directions of training of F. Wik, K. Wik-Schuman with the justification of the semantic direction of Schumann's works, which are inseparable from Biedermeier aesthetics, in turn, connected with the aesthetic indicators of romanticism. The methodological basis is the intonation approach of the school of B. Asafyev in Ukraine, comparative and hermeneutic prolongations of intonation in the works of D. Androsova, T. Verkina, O. Kozarenko, I. Kotlyarevskyi, I. Lyashenko, Liu Binjsan, O. Markova, O. Muravska, O. Ryzhova, O. Sokolova, with the use of scientific research methods: art history-analytical, descriptive-historical, cultural-regionalist, hermeneutic. Scientific novelty. For the first time in Ukraine, the Biedermeier side of R. Schuman's compositional thinking is emphasised in connection with his large cyclic works, in which the miniaturism of the components did not remove the romantic scale of thinking, but in the Biedermeier perspective, the avoidance of the author's stylistic egocentrism of expression. Conclusions. The two cycles of R. Schumann taken for analysis constitute a typical output of the composer's piano miniaturism, which stems from the idea of the “Oratorio for piano”, namely from his “Carnival”, in which the contrasts of tempo-genre juxtapositions, so prominent in romantic theatricality, appear here in the positive of Biedermeier imitation of Rococo sonata-suites, united by the kindness of communication in the latter, and here by the artistic disposition of the subject of the action. The piano version gravitates towards the “diamond” sounds of “light” pianism (Schumann repeatedly singled out Biedermeier in Chopin's playing, bypassing F. Liszt's orchestral discoveries), i.e. the Biedermeier component of the stylistic position of the author of “Carnival”, while the mysterious-theatrical contributions testify to an approach to the romantic palette.

Theoretical and Methodological Basis of Researching the Problems of Establishment and Development of Theatrical Biography
Authors: Tsyselska Oksana
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to carry out a comprehensive analysis and generalize the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study of the problem of the formation and development of theatrical biography. The research methodology is based on the application of a complex of theoretical and empirical methods, in particular, analysis and synthesis, comparative-historical, structural-functional, etc., which made it possible to comprehensively consider the given problem and formulate reasonable conclusions. Important for the study is the art critic's approach to the definition of the concept of "theatrical biography". The scientific novelty of the study consists in a comprehensive art historical study of theatrical biography. On the basis of a thorough analysis and systematization of scientific work on the outlined issues, the author's vision of the phenomenon of the concept of "theatrical biography" is represented, and its criteria are determined. Conclusions. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the scientific and methodological development of the problem of theater biography is at the initial stage and requires detailed justification and public coverage in works of various formats. The conducted substantiation of the theoretical and methodological foundations of the study allowed us to determine the essence of the concept of "theatre biography". We associate this term with the process of creating biographical and illustrated material about a well-known personality, whose life became the subject of dramaturgical development within the framework of the work, or a part of the work, and which found an original embodiment within the framework of a theatrical production, performance, performative event, etc. There are no clear criteria for the formation of theatrical biography. The variability of the author's approaches to the representation of the biographical-personal and creative-life achievements of famous people, the heroes of theatrical productions leads to an imbalance of a significant mass of information in the field of theatrical art. It is concluded that in the context of theater art research, the number of works devoted to the biographies of famous Ukrainian directors, playwrights, and theater managers is very limited. The works of scientists, the subject of which were the works of Ukrainian dramatists, mostly concern the classics of domestic drama and, accordingly, well-known historical figures of Ukrainian culture and art. Most of the material about productions, performers, main characters of plays is placed in anthologies of plays, which are not popularized at a sufficient level.

Digitale Medien und Jugendbildung im Rückwärtsgang
Authors: Brenner Gerd
Published: September 2024

Digitale Medien und die Intensität, mit der sie inzwischen jugendliche Lebenswelten dominieren, werden in letzter Zeit deutlich anders bewertet als noch vor einigen Jahren. Im ersten Beitrag zeichnet Gerd Brenner diesen Wandel nach, der auch verschiedene Praxisfelder der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit in einem anderen Licht erscheinen lässt. Der Autor hat sich häufende Informationen aus verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen zusammengetragen, die nun eine sehr kritische Bewertung der Digitalisierung nahelegen, sofern diese bildungsrelevante Bereiche des jugendlichen Alltagslebens betrifft. Er weist außerdem darauf hin, dass diese Neueinschätzung im Bereich der Politik bereits weltweit zu Umsteuerungen führt. Der Autor bezieht neueren Positionierungen in Sachen Digitalisierung anschließend kritisch auf die neueste PISA-Studie und ihre Befunde. Schließlich geht er der Frage nach, inwiefern digitalisierungskritische Positionierungen der Wissenschaften und der Politik bereits im Feld der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit angekommen sind.
Normativität
Authors: Fuchs Thorsten
Published: September 2024

Über Normen wird bisweilen sehr intensiv diskutiert. Inwiefern konkretes Denken, Handeln und Sprechen auf Normen referiert, überhaupt erst Sinn und Geltung über normative Bezüge erfährt, ist dagegen deutlich seltener Gegenstand von Debatten. Zur Angelegenheit von Reflexion und Problematizität erkoren werden damit einhergehen-de Fragen von den Wissenschaften, insb. von der Philosophie, die seit zehn bis 15 Jahren wieder intensiver die Aufmerksamkeit auf den ‚Sachverhalt‘ der Normativität lenkt. Auch innerhalb der Erziehungswissenschaft hat der Umgang mit dem Normenproblem bzw. die Unerlässlichkeit von Normativität zuletzt erneut umfassendere Über-legungen hervorgerufen. Der Beitrag verfolgt von etymologischen Betrachtungen aus-gehend die Stationen des Nachdenkens über Normativität in der Erziehungswissenschaft zwischen Mitte der 1960er und den späten 1970er Jahren, skizziert eine legitimationsanalytisch-kritische Wendung der Normenbegründung und diskutiert schließlich vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Revitalisierungen die disziplinäre Stellung von Normativitätsfragen sowie einige Anschlussoptionen für die erziehungswissenschaftliche Forschung.
Transnationalisierung und informelles Lernen
Authors: Armbrüster Christian , Witte Matthias D.
Published: September 2024

Der Beitrag gibt einen systematischen Überblick über den erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskurs zu Phänomenen der Transnationalisierung. Er stellt drei Zugänge zur Reflexion informellen Lernens in zunehmend transnationalisierten sozialen Kontexten vor: den migrationspädagogischen Ansatz, den postkolonialen Ansatz und den übersetzungstheoretischen Ansatz. Dabei präsentiert er den postkolonialen Ansatz als Bindeglied zwischen den beiden weiteren Zugängen, welches zentrale theoretische Konzepte im kritisch-reflexiven Umgang mit Differenz bereitstellt.
Digitale Bildung – Annäherungen an einen paradoxen Begriff
Authors: Leineweber Christian
Published: September 2024

Der Begriff der Digitalisierung verweist auf einen überaus vielschichtigen Transformationsprozess, der eine Vielzahl gesellschaftlicher Funktionssysteme unter Verantwortung stellt. Im Bildungssystem der Gesellschaft hat sich der Begriff der digitalen Bildung als eine Reaktion auf diese Verantwortung etabliert. Ziel des vorliegenden Beitrags ist es, sich der paradoxen Struktur des Begriffs der digitalen Bildung anzunähern. Leitend ist dabei die Gegenüberstellung einer durch die Digitalisierung des Bildungssystems gestärkten technischen Rationalität pädagogischer Praxis und der spezifischen Charakteristik bildender Erfahrungsverläufe von Subjekten.
Autobiographie in der europäischen Kultur
Authors: Brumlik Micha
Published: September 2024

Der Beitrag legt die Wurzeln des europäischen Verständnisses der Konzepte ‚Individualität‘ und ‚Autobiographie‘ frei. Eine zentrale Rolle spielen dabei Verweise auf Augustinus, aber auch Bezüge zur noch älteren griechischen Philosophietradition. Schon in den wegweisenden Arbeiten von Georg Misch werde deutlich, dass das Ringen um das Recht auf eine eigene Lebensgeschichte ein zentraler Teil der weiblichen Emanzipationsgeschichte darstellt.
Mitlaufende biographische Kommunikation in pädagogischen Kontexten. Das Konzept der biographisch-narrativen Gesprächsführung
Authors: Völzke Reinhard
Published: September 2024

Wie kann die alltagsweltliche Thematisierung biographischer Erfahrungen, die an geschützten Orten regelmäßig zu beobachten ist und als hochgradig kommunikativ erlebt wird, auch in pädagogischen Berufskontexten produktiv genutzt werden? Das erforderliche biographisch-narratives Containment für die professionelle Rekonstruktion selbsterlebter Geschichten fuße, so der Autor, auf drei Quellen: Der Vergegenwärtigung positiver Alltagserfahrungen in Situationen geglückter biographischer Kommunikation; der Nutzung kommunikativer Praktiken aus der klientenorientierten Gesprächsführung und einer aus der Biographieforschung entlehnten analytisch-rekonstruktiven Haltung.
Soziale Arbeit aus einer phänomenologisch-holistischen Perspektive
Authors: Schachameier Armin
Published: September 2024

In diesem Artikel möchte ich eine neue Perspektive auf die Soziale Arbeit eröffnen, die sich durch einen phänomenologisch-holistischen Ansatz auszeichnet. Ich präsentiere ein Mehrebenenmodell, welches die dynamische Interaktion zwischen Fachkräften und Klient:innen ins Zentrum rückt und zugleich die Bedeutung struktureller Rahmenbedingungen hervorhebt. Durch die Anwendung der phänomenologischen Methode, wie sie im Gestaltansatz verankert ist, wird das individuelle Erleben sozialer Problem-lagen erfasst, was ein tieferes Verständnis für die Situation der Klient:innen ermöglicht. Dies bildet die Grundlage, um Prozesse der Motivation und Zielverwirklichung effektiv zu unterstützen. Um die Methode für die Leserschaft verständlich zu machen, erläutere ich zunächst die Grundlagen des Beziehungsverständnisses innerhalb der Gestalttherapie. Anschließend illustriere ich, wie das Mehrebenenmodell dazu beitragen kann, sozialräumliche und strukturelle Dynamiken im Streben nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu reflektieren.
Eltern in der Verbesserung ihrer Erziehungsbedingungen unterstützen
Authors: Moos Marion
Published: September 2024

Der Beitrag zeigt, auf welchen Ebenen Eltern Unterstützung benötigen und welche Rahmenbedingungen es braucht, um Beziehungsklärung und -förderung zwischen Eltern und Kind sowie eine Arbeit an den Erziehungsbedingungen, die zur Fremdunterbringung geführt haben, bedarfsgerecht zu ermöglichen. Er macht Chancen und Grenzen deutlich, wenn es um prekäre Lebensverhältnisse der Familien geht. Die Erkenntnisse beziehen sich maßgeblich auf Ergebnisse des Praxisforschungs- und -entwicklungsprojektes „Heimerziehung als familienunterstützende Hilfe“ (Moos/Schmutz 2012) sowie Praxiserfahrungen mit Organisationsentwicklungsprozessen zur Stärkung der Zusammenarbeit mit Eltern in stationären Einrichtungen.
Leerstelle Elternselbstvertretung in den Hilfen zur Erziehung?
Authors: Düring Diana
Published: September 2024

In dem Beitrag werden Überlegungen dargestellt, dass und wieso das Thema „Elternselbstvertretung in den Hilfen zur Erziehung“ konzeptionell und praktisch wenig im Fokus der Kinder- und Jugendhilfe steht. Die Autorin sieht Stigmatisierungsfolgen, Beschämung und normative Erwartungen ebenso als Hintergründe wie Armut und Geschlechterdiskriminierung.
