Authors: Oh Seung-Yun , Kim Myung-Ho , Park Soo-Jung
Published: June 2024

Objectives: This case study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture in lateral epicondylitis.Methods: A 42-year-old male patient presented with lateral epicondylitis of the right arm of 4 months’ duration. Sonographic findings were tearing of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. The patient was treated with ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture and acupuncture for 9 weeks. The numeric rating scale (NRS) and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation(PRTEE) were used to assess pain, function and progression. Ultrasound images were compared every 2 weeks.Results: After treatments, NRS and PRTEE were reduced from 7 to 1 and from 106 to 22, respectively. And improvement was observed in the torn region of the common extensor tendon on ultrasound imaging.Conclusion: This case demonstrates that ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture could improve lateral epicondylitis and tear with minimally invasive methods.
Valve Corporation and the Steam Platform
Authors: Mette Thorhauge Anne
Published: June 2024

In the next four chapters, I will provide an empirically grounded analysis of the Steam platform as a particular type of game platform. I will do this because the Steam platform exhibits a distinct platform business model rooted in the economic features of games. Steam is, on one hand, comparable to other market platforms, with its focus on attracting game publishers and gamer communities into a multi-sided market controlled by the platform owner. On the other hand, it differs from other platforms in its active integration of player-driven economies at different levels of its platform design. This turns Steam into a direct illustration of the way platforms can be defined and analysed as ‘tangled markets’, extracting value at the intersection between different market contexts. In the following sections, I will firstly provide some historical context of Valve, the owner of Steam, and situate the Steam platform within the wider game market. After this, I will address how the platform differs from other platforms and why this makes it an interesting case of ‘tangled markets’. I will use the key differences between Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Valve, 2012) and Fortnite (2018) to exemplify how this specific business model cuts across the game design, the platform, and economic practices beyond the platform (Thorhauge and Nielsen, 2021).
Shaping Market Interactions on the Steam Platform
Authors: Mette Thorhauge Anne
Published: June 2024

In Chapter 2, I introduced the notion of ‘platform configurations’ to cover the development of game platforms across the previous four decades. I observe that it is not just the game platforms themselves that have changed but also the very concept of ‘platform’, which has altered its meaning from signifying a computational system to signifying large market actors in Big Tech. Thus, the notion of ‘platform configurations’ includes the platform as a standardized computing system along with another range of factors that constitute contemporary platforms, such as market orders, ownership structures, and value chains. The specific role of the platform as a standardized computing system varies across these configurations from being primarily development and publishing devices to including storefronts and shaping multi-sided markets. The latter involves that platforms are strategically designed to shape market interactions (Srnicek, 2017) in ways that serve the economic interest of the platform owner. In the current chapter, I will analyse in more detail how this is specifically done by the Steam platform, that is, I will analyse the way the platform’s API allows third-party actors to operate on the platform through a critical reading of the documentation. The aim is to map and discuss the ways in which the different contexts of economic exchange are made available as sets of strategic design choices by the platform design, more specifically, through the Steamworks API.
State: Measuring Authority
Authors: Benjamin Garfield
Published: June 2024

This chapter applies a framework of trustification to state logics of power in technology discourses. The discussion begins with historical precursors in the legitimization of state authority. This authority is then linked to an increasing trend towards measurement as a root of legitimacy, the metricization of proxies for trust in response to a decline in political trust throughout societies. The role of the state is discussed in relation to its own citizens, other states, technical infrastructures, and marginalized or colonized groups. Throughout, the discussion draws on examples from administrative categories, surveillance practices, regulatory strategy and smart cities, among others. The chapter concludes by considering the corporate lobbying influences that shape the drive towards measurement in state logics, the blending of private and state interests in the regulation of technologies.
Extraction method for superimposed coherent transition radiation using Fresnel reflection in a ring-type resonator
Authors: Sei Norihiro , Takahashi Toshiharu
Published: June 2024

To generate terahertz pulses with a high peak power, a pulse train of coherent transition radiation (CTR) is superimposed by circulating it in a ring-type resonator at an L-band electron linear accelerator facility at the Kyoto University Institute for Integrated Radiation and Nuclear Science. By extracting the superimposed CTR pulses from the ring-type resonator via Fresnel reflection on a low-loss parallel substrate, we show that the cavity loss can be suppressed without being affected by the wavenumber of the CTR pulses. The power of the superimposed CTR pulse is increased to approximately four times that of a CTR generated by plane mirrors in the resonator at a wavenumber of 8.5cm−1, where the diffraction loss of the resonator is lower. Using shorter electron bunches to generate CTR pulses with higher wavenumbers increases the amplification factor caused by superposition and allows CTR pulses with a higher peak power to be generated.
Brillouin-based fiber loss measurement for PON using ERA-BOTDA with differential width pairs of frequency-swept pump pulses
Authors: Takahashi Hiroshi , Mizuno Yosuke , Koshikiya Yusuke
Published: June 2024

We demonstrate Brillouin-based loss distribution measurement for passive optical networks with differential width pairs of frequency-swept pump pulses that can suppress the spatial resolution degradation, especially those created by large loss events typical of an 8-branch splitter. Based on the acoustic wave simulation of a frequency-swept pump pulse, we investigate the arrangement of the modulation frequency within the optical pulse. A preliminary experiment is conducted on a 5-dB loss event near an 8-branch splitter. The results show that the proposed technique can accurately measure loss events with a spatial resolution of better than 3 m.
The efficacy of Topical Clascoterone versus systematic spironolactone for treatment of acne vulgaris: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
Authors: Basendwh Mohammad A. , Alharbi Amer Abdulaziz , Bukhamsin Sarah Abdulla , Abdulwahab Rahaf Abdulrashid , Alaboud Sarah Abdullah
Published: May 2024

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of topical clascoterone (TC) compared to oral spironolactone for acne vulgaris treatment.

Methods

A computerized search through PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and the Cochrane Library was conducted to find relevant papers. We used the "netmeta" and "meta" packages for network meta-analysis (NMA) in RStudio 1.2.5019 (2009–2019 RStudio, Inc.) to conduct all of our statistical tests.

Results

Seven articles (n = 2,006 patients) were included. The fixed-effect size showed that TC 1% bis in die (BID) showed potential effectiveness in reducing the inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion count compared to placebo (Standardized mean difference, SMD = -0.27, 95% CI: -0.36 to -0.17) and (SMD = -0.31, 95% CI: -0.41 to -0.22), respectively. The random-effect size showed that TC 1% BID was significantly associated with a 12-week treatment success compared to placebo (Odds ratio, OR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.12 to 5.30). Spironolactone 200 mg was associated with a significant reduction in total lesion count (SMD = -4.46, 95% CI: -5.60 to -3.32).

Conclusion

TC appears to reduce both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesion count and may lead to treatment success. Spironolactone at 200 mg showed potential effectiveness in terms of total lesion count reduction. These results suggest that both TC and Spironolactone could be beneficial in treating patients with acne vulgaris.
The association of caffeine intake and prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents: A cross-sectional survey from NHANES 2011–2020 March
Authors: Liu Zi Rui , Cui Kai
Published: June 2024

Background

Many studies have demonstrated the beneficial health effects of caffeine. However, its association with obesity prevalence and caffeine intake remains controversial. Notably, the impact of caffeine on children and adolescents needs to be more adequately represented in large-scale epidemiological investigations.

Objective

This study examines the association between caffeine intake and obesity prevalence in children and adolescents aged 2 to 19.

Methods

This study used the database from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2011–2020 March) to perform a cross-sectional study. A total of 10,001 classified children and adolescents were included in this analysis. All data were survey-weighted, and corresponding logistic regression models were performed to examine the associations between caffeine intake and the prevalence of obesity.

Results

In a fully adjusted model, a per-quartile increase in caffeine intake was associated with a 0.05% increased prevalence of obesity. In the subgroup analysis, the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of the prevalence of obesity for per-quartile 1.3497 (1.2014, 1.5163) increments in caffeine intake were 1.5961 (1.3127, 1.9406) for boys and 1.4418 (1.1861, 1.7525) for girls, 1.5807 (1.3131, 1.9027) for white race and 1.3181 (1.0613, 1.6370), 1.0500 (0.6676, 1.6515) for the age of 2–5, 1.4996 (1.1997, 1.8745) for the age of 6–12, and 1.2321 (0.9924, 1597) for the age of 13–19.

Conclusion

The study suggested that higher caffeine intake may have a protective effect against obesity in specific subgroups, particularly among no overweight individuals. However, the association was not significant in other groups, indicating the need for a nuanced understanding of caffeine’s impact on obesity in diverse populations.
Synergy of higher education resources and digital infrastructure construction in China: Regional differences, dynamic evolution and trend forecasting
Authors: Xie Ying , Zhang Minglong
Published: June 2024

The deep integration of higher education with digital technology represents an inevitable trend, and evaluating the interplay between higher education resources (HER) and digital infrastructure construction (DIC) holds significant value for advancing the development of digital higher education and mitigating regional disparities in China. This study establishes two comprehensive evaluation frameworks for HER and DIC. Panel data from 31 provinces, spanning the period from 2011 to 2020, are utilized for analysis. The coupling coordination degree (CCD) model is employed in this work to evaluate the synergy between HER and DIC in China. Furthermore, we analyze the regional differences, spatial distribution, and trend evolution of this synergy. The study results revealed that there is an initial decrease followed by an increase in the synergy between HER and DIC, and the overall CCD is at a moderate coordination, with the mean CCD of the eastern region being significantly higher than that of the other three regions, and the inter-regional difference is the main source of regional disparity in this synergy. The current state of synergistic development reveals a slight inclination towards multi-polarization, although the disparity in regional development was decreasing. Additionally, there is an observed convergence in the coordinated development of HER and DIC, with spatial factors playing a significant role. These findings offer empirical support for efforts to enhance the integration of HER and DIC, reduce regional disparities in higher education, and foster sustainable development in China’s higher education sector.

Published: June 2024

Health literacy (HL) is crucial in achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing one-third of premature mortality by 2030 from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and improving Universal Health Coverage. Low health literacy is linked to poor health outcomes, and evidence shows that levels of limited HL are high, even among highly educated individuals. This study aims to assess HL levels and related factors among patients with NCDs at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) in Nepal. A cross-sectional survey was conducted at TUTH among 303 patients with NCDs with Cardiovascular Diseases, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Epilepsy, Asthma and Cancer who came for follow-up from December 2022 to February 2023. Data was collected via face-to-face interviews by the trained enumerators using a structured Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) containing 44 items (divided into nine domains). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance at 0.05, to determine the associated factors of HL. The mean ±SD age of the respondents was 47.4±16.18 years. More than half of the respondents were female (56.1%). The patients had higher HL in all HL domains except ‘Navigating the healthcare system’. Educational status was significantly associated with six out of nine HL domains. Co-morbidity, attendance at health-related seminars, regular physical activity, and social connectedness were associated with at least one of the domains of HL. This study identified the important factors of HL, such as socio-demographic and medical factors among patients with NCDs. This highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address identified gaps in HL, considering its multifaceted and composite nature and promoting interventions to improve HL in high-risk populations.
International alliances and technology diffusion: A worldwide analysis of adoption of energy, railway and satellite technologies
Authors: Bączyk Michał , Frenken Koen , Punt Matthijs B. , Wanzenböck Iris
Published: June 2024

This study analyzes the role of international alliances in the adoption of new technology at the national level. We look at the worldwide diffusion of six key infrastructure technologies during the past six decades among 161 countries: nuclear power, solar power, wind power, marine power, high-speed rail, and telecommunication satellites. Acknowledging that international relations are not solely structured by formal alliances, we further investigate the impact of neighboring states on technology diffusion, as neighbors tend to maintain strong economic and cultural ties. We further look at simple imitation effects between states with similar political systems. With our focus on international alliances as drivers of international technology diffusion, our study complements economic studies on technology diffusion. For most of the technologies, we find evidence for spillovers between allied states as well as between neighboring states, while no such evidence was found for institutionally similar states. These results confirm the important role that international alliances may play in technology diffusion.
Generic competences for end-of-degree projects in teacher education: students’ and university teachers’ perceptions
Authors: González-Ortega Eva , Durán-Martínez Ramiro
Published: June 2024

The aim of this study is to analyse the perception of students and university teachers on the level of importance of generic competences when devising the End-of-Degree Project in Teacher Education, as well as on the amount of training the students receive regarding these competences. It also looks for possible differences between both groups and both ratings. An online survey was applied to a sample of 52 university teachers and 199 fourth year and graduate students of Primary/Preschool Teacher Degree courses. Participants were asked to rate 33 generic competences of an instrumental, interpersonal and systemic nature. It was found that the students thought they had received less training regarding many of the competences, as compared to the perception of university teachers. In addition, importance score was significantly higher than those related to training for both students and university teachers. These results highlight the need to explicitly address and assess the development of generic competences across all subjects in ways that meet the students’ needs.
La educación para la ciudadanía global como transición hacia la complejidad. Pensamiento sistémico y competencias transformadoras en la formación del profesorado
Authors: Cerrato Meri
Published: June 2024

El dominio prepotente de la hegemonía de las doctrinas neoliberales está imponiendo retos educativos considerables con respecto a la consecución de los objetivos de la Agenda 2030. Nos enfrentamos a una crisis de civilización, en la que el actual modelo educativo y sus parámetros están siendo alterados, manipulados, dictados e impuestos exclusivamente por organismos relacionados con el comercio. El propio capital humano y las competencias derivan terminológicamente del neoliberalismo global; aparentemente préstamos lingüísticos heredados del mundo empresarial, en realidad son constructos caracterizados por una complejidad que implica ciertas condiciones básicas en la formación docente, directamente relacionadas con el saber, el saber hacer y principalmente con el saber ser. La Educación para la Ciudadanía Global (ECG), consagrada en la meta 4.7 del Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) n.º 4 de la Agenda 2030, se convierte en un objetivo educativo, en un imperativo global, capaz de gestionar la expansión de un tipo de pedagogía mercantil que a nivel ético y de valores está desestabilizando los ecosistemas escolares globales en términos de ética y valores. El análisis de la dimensión de la competencia transformadora del profesorado en el contexto de la globalización, debe conducirnos a nuevas reflexiones relacionadas con un proceso de replanteamiento crítico de la ECG. Reflexiones localizadas que necesitan ser profundizadas y contextualizadas desde dentro, en los variados contextos educativos desde lo local a lo global, para comprender dilemas, tensiones políticas y de poder, reorientando a todos hacia el bien común. La redefinición de la gestalt educativa en el desorden global, por lo tanto, implica la valorización de la riqueza de las competencias no cognitivas de los docentes, hoy indispensables para contrarrestar la fragilidad de la pobreza educativa.

Published: June 2024

A medida que aumenta el interés social por mejorar la formación y las actitudes del futuro profesorado de educación secundaria hacia el alumnado con discapacidad, se necesitan instrumentos que satisfagan estas necesidades y sirvan para evaluar su eficacia. El objetivo del trabajo tiene como propósito examinar las características psicométricas de la Escala de Actitud hacia las Personas con Discapacidad (EAPD) desarrollada por Arias et al. (2016). Se ha realizado una modelización de ecuaciones estructurales basada en covarianzas, utilizando el método de estimación de mínimos cuadrados ponderados con chi-cuadrado ajustado por media y varianza y el coeficiente omega ordinal para estimar la consistencia interna. La muestra está compuesta por 400 estudiantes del Máster Universitario en Profesor de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanza de Idiomas (MUFPS) de distintas universidades españolas. El análisis de la EAPD ha mostrado que dicha escala puedes ser interpretada por tres dimensiones: (a) Relaciones sociales y personales con las personas con discapacidad-RS, (b) Vida normalizada-VN y (c) Programas de intervención-PI. Sin embargo, este estudio presenta como hallazgo una estructura de segundo orden que permite concluir la interpretación de esta escala de manera conjunta, siendo este último un hallazgo importante en el ámbito educativo.
Suomalaisten aikuisten metsäsuhde: tuloksia tiedosta, kokemuksista ja toiminnasta

Published: June 2024

Metsäsuhde vaikuttaa olennaisesti kokemukseen metsien käyttömuotojen legitimiteetistä ja tulevaisuuden metsien käytön suunnitteluun. Ihmisen luontosuhde kehittyy elämän varrella ja koostuu muun muassa elämänkokemuksista, tiedoista, taidoista ja sosiaalistumisesta. Luonto- ja metsäsuhde on kullekin henkilökohtainen, mutta samanaikaisesti suhde luontoon kehittyy myös yhteisön jäsenenä tapahtuvan sosiaalistumisen kautta. Suomalaisten luontosuhteissa metsät ja suhde metsiin ovat perinteisesti olleet erityisen tärkeässä asemassa. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan metsäsuhteen merkitystä nykypäivän suomalaisille. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tunnistaa suomalaisten aikuisten metsäsuhteiden erilaisia ulottuvuuksia sekä niiden yhteyksiä toisiinsa, erityisesti suhteessa yhteiskunnallisia hyötyjä tuottaviin ekosysteemipalveluihin. Lisäksi metsäsuhteiden ulottuvuuksia tarkastellaan eri-ikäisten aikuisten suhteen. Tutkimuksen käsitteellinen viitekehys perustuu ympäristösuhdetta käsittelevään tutkimuskirjallisuuteen, jota käytetään suomalaisille aikuisille tehdyn laajan kyselytutkimusaineiston (n = 822) monimuuttujamenetelmin tehtyjen analyysien lähtökohtana. Metsäsuhdetta analysoitiin neljästä eri näkökulmasta, jotka olivat: metsiin ja luontoon liittyvä toiminta ja kokemukset, metsien ja luonnon tuottamat hyödyt, metsiin ja luontoon liittyvät huolet sekä metsien ja luonnon hyväksi toimiminen. Tulosten mukaan suomalaisten luonto- ja metsäsuhteet perustuvat sekä yksilöllisiin että yhteisöllisiin kokemuksiin. Tulokset viittaavat siihen, että metsäsuhteiden eri ulottuvuudet limittyvät keskenään, mikä kertoo ilmiön moninaisuudesta. Myös ihmisen ikä vaikuttaa metsään liittyvien ajanviettotapojen, tietojen, taitojen ja kokemusten painottumiseen sekä luonnon hyväksi tehtävässä toiminnassa. Metsäsuhdetta koskevat tulokset auttavat ymmärtämään kansalaisten metsiin liittämiä arvostuksia ja sitä, miten luonto-osaamista syventämällä voidaan edistää metsien kestävää käyttöä.
Direction of Korean Youth Policy Seen through Youth Guarantee and AmeriCorps: Policy Proposal That Does Not Miss Out on Vulnerable Groups
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Ryu Jeong
Published: June 2024

Youth period has become much longer than before, and difficulties lurk in various areas such as society, economy, jobs, human relationships, and family issues. In order to properly understand the lives of young people and prepare policies that can be understood by young people, we investigated the cases of the European Union's Youth Guarantee System and the AmeriCorps of USA. The EU implemented the Youth Guarantee in 2013, and the United States reorganized its youth policy in 2008, the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Youth Policy Forum. The characteristic of both systems is that they address the problems of youth in general and face the problems of vulnerable groups. Although it may seem a bit loose as a benefit-type policy for the vulnerable, it aims for a long-term strategy based on the inclusion of vulnerable youth in the overall youth population. Our country's youth policy is just getting started. We investigated Seoul City's youth policy, which is known to be the most active among the policies of the central government and local governments in the early stages of the policy. Based on the current policy, we hope to prepare a policy that includes the voices of young people and provides equal support to vulnerable groups.
Factors Influencing Parenting Stress in Female Married Nurses with Young Children
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Hwang Inju , Yu Juyoun , Kim Eun Kyung
Published: June 2024

This descriptive survey aimed to identify factors influencing parenting stress among female married nurses with young children. Multiple regression analysis were conducted using the data obtained from 132 surveys. The variables influencing parenting stress were found to be, in order, work-family balance (β=-.356, p<.001) and “Me Time” (β=-.195, p=.016), with an explanatory power of 16%. Spousal involvement in childcare did not significantly correlate with parenting stress. However, satisfaction with childcare assistance from sources other than the spouse revealed a significant difference, indicating that having satisfactory childcare support, even if not for the spouse, can reduce parenting stress. Female married nurses with young children require support to secure sufficient “Me Time” between juggling work and family along with childcare. In particular, strengthen the social support system is needed that people can maintain their identity through “Me Time.”
Development of an Infectious Disease in Disaster Management Competency Scale for Nursing Students
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Kim Kyoung Mi , Jun Hye Jung
Published: June 2024

Buildings are equipped with fire compartments to prevent the spread of fire. However, the fire compartment regulations in South Korea are simplistic and standardized, and the exception and mitigation also have ambiguous criteria, requiring adaptations to accommodate changes in architectures. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the contents related to exception and mitigation for fire compartments in South Korea and propose to make up for the limitations. To identify limitations, this study investigates how fire compartments are implemented in South Korea and analyze international cases to compare fire compartment regulations. The comparative analysis reveals that domestic exception and mitigation have ambiguous spatial criteria, and international cases solve this issue by specifying regulations based on specific uses. Consequently, this study proposes the need to formulate and detail regulations of exception and mitigation considering both building use type and space characteristics, because of fire hazard levels changed by building use type.
Exploring the Link between Respect for Rights at the Regional Center for Children and Career Identity Development
Authors:   Crisis and Emergency Management: Theory and Praxis, Kim Sangwon
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to explore whether the experience of being respected at the Regional Center for Children influences the development of career identity through self-esteem and school adaptation. To investigate this, the study analyzed the hypothesized model using responses from 438 first-year middle school students (50.7% male) obtained from the 4th Wave of the second panel of Children's Panel Survey at the Regional Center for Children. The study revealed that experiences of rights being respected at the Regional Center for Children influenced the development of career identity through self-esteem and school adaptation. In other words, higher levels of self-esteem were observed when their rights were respected at the Center, facilitating better school adaptation, and ultimately leading to the development of career identity. The study concluded that the respect of children’s rights at the Regional Center played a critical role in their overall development and outlined implications for future research and practice.
Monetary Policy Spillovers – The Impact of Advanced Central Banks’ Decisions on Emerging Financial Markets
Authors:   , Sztanó Gábor
Published: June 2024

The thesis delves into the impact of advanced central banks' monetary policies on emerging government bond markets, the so-called 'monetary policy spillovers.' Over the past decade, there has been a reported correlation between interest rates on advanced and emerging financial markets. Following the Global Financial Crisis, substantial international capital flows occurred, particularly to government bond markets of emerging countries, influenced by the aggressive monetary easing of the major central banks. The research aims to address the puzzling question of the extent to which large central banks impact emerging financial markets. It outlines a research agenda to examine the size of monetary policy spillovers in the case of the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan. Beyond the magnitude of the spillover effect, regional differences and factors influencing recipient countries' sensitivity to international shocks are also examined. In summary, the thesis contributes to the international finance literature by shedding light on the relationship between advanced central banks’ monetary policy decisions and the dynamics of emerging government bond markets.
A crise de paradigmas e a historiografia pós-modernista: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Medeiros Gabriel Saldanha Lula de
Published: June 2024

Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, formou-se o entendimento crítico por parte de alguns intelectuais de que a modernidade teria servido, entre outras coisas, para potencializar a tirania dos Estados e as cosmovisões pautadas em ideias de superioridade e inferioridade raciais e culturais, que legitimaram conflitos e guerras ao redor do mundo. Com a crise da modernidade, novos paradigmas historiográficos vão ganhando espaço. Por isso, o presente trabalho é movido pela seguinte pergunta: “o que é o pós-modernismo e quais são as críticas com relação a ele?”. A metodologia consiste em uma revisão integrativa de literatura a partir de livros e artigos coletados na plataforma do Google Acadêmico. Em seguida, serão apresentadas algumas bases filosóficas e metodológicas pós-modernistas. Por fim, conclui-se que ainda não se tem uma compreensão satisfatória acerca do movimento pós-modernista, por este ainda estar em voga, sendo difícil compreender a sua totalidade, porém, ressaltando a importância de alguns dos seus postulados para o melhor entendimento acerca do principal objeto de estudo da ciência história: o passado.

O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma reflexão acerca da emergência de culturas que sejam criativas e ao mesmo tempo ecológicas. O desenvolvimento de culturas que tenham entre suas prioridades valores ecológicos e que, além disso, sejam criativas ao solucionarem seus problemas é hoje fundamental. São necessários valores, atitudes e comportamentos que privilegiem não apenas a satisfação das necessidades individuais, mas do coletivo maior chamado Terra. A Educação Ambiental, nesse sentido, tem o propósito de contribuir com a formação de sujeitos não apenas críticos e criativos, mas, principalmente, políticos e ecológicos.
Wilhelm Reich e a Psicologia Corporal
Authors: Oliveira Gislene Farias de , Teixeira Paulo Tadeu Ferreira
Published: June 2024

Wilhelm Reich foi um psicólogo e psicanalista proeminente, lembrado por seu trabalho em psicologia corporal. Ele nasceu na Áustria em 1897 e desenvolveu teorias inovadoras sobre mente e corpo, contrariando a psicanálise freudiana convenciona. Reich também desenvolveu a técnica da "bioenergética", que combinava técnicas de respiração, movimento e terapia corporal para liberar a energia bloqueada no corpo e promover a cura emocional. Ao incorporar princípios da Psicologia Corporal e da Análise Bioenergética, os terapeutas podem auxiliar os pacientes a reconhecer e liberar padrões de pensamento e comportamento limitantes, promover a consciência corporal e emocional, e vivenciar uma maior conexão consigo mesmos e com os outros.
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis-Associated Myocarditis as an Extraintestinal Manifestation of Crohn's Disease
Authors: Shibu Roney , Mohsen Waled
Published: June 2024

Cardiac extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of Crohn's disease (CD) are uncommon. They include pericarditis, myocarditis, and arrhythmias; however, distinguishing these from alternative causes including medication-related adverse effects is often challenging. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is another uncommon EIM of CD that may present with systemic involvement. We present a rare case of myocarditis associated with leukocytoclastic vasculitis occurring as EIMs of CD. The myocarditis proved refractory to standard therapy and biologics targeting underlying gut inflammation. She developed an inflammatory cardiomyopathy and symptoms consistent with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Anakinra was tried, but despite the initial response, it should be used cautiously in patients with CD.

This study explores the planning of character education projects to strengthen the Pancasila student profile through local culture in early childhood education at TK Sukoharjo 1 and TK Desa Majasto 02. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were gathered through interviews, observations, and document studies. The findings reveal comprehensive strategies for planning, implementing, and evaluating character education projects. At TK Sukoharjo 01, the project involved forming a facilitator team, identifying readiness stages, and developing specific learning modules. Implementation utilized real-life experiences such as gardening and local markets, while evaluation focused on cooperation, communication, and care. At TK Desa Majasto 02, the project preparation included curriculum development, facilitator team formation, and methods centered around the local culture of "Ngapem," emphasizing global diversity, cooperation, and independence. The implications of these findings are profound for educational policy and practice. Integrating local cultural practices into character education effectively strengthens the Pancasila student profile, fostering values essential for national cohesion and global citizenship. These insights suggest that policymakers and educators should adopt similar culturally embedded educational frameworks, ensuring that character education is theoretically sound, practically relevant, and contextually appropriate. Despite the promising outcomes, limitations include the study's scope confined to two early childhood centers and reliance on qualitative data. Future research should explore applying similar projects in diverse settings, investigating long-term impacts, and integrating quantitative measures to enhance the evidence base.
Domestikace v překladech z anglické literatury v českém národním obrození
Authors: Mánek Bohuslav

The paper surveys domestication, one of the characteristic features of a number of translations in the early period of the Czech National Revival in the first decades of the nineteenth century. At that time, translations played a role of enormous cultural significance in the development of Czech literature, making up for as yet unrepresented genres and providing models to enrich the corpus. A particular set of circumstances developed due to the social and political conditions of the Czech nation: after a period of gradual decline of the Czech language following the Thirty Years’ War, the Czech language was gradually regaining the status of a language of literature and science. From the twenties onwards the rising middle-class reading public demanded entertaining belles-lettres in Czech. Many of these translations were freely adapted mainly from contemporary popular German prose without crediting the original author and at times even plagiarized, as the writer Karolina Světlá, well-read in both literatures, later recorded in her memoirs. This paper presents two typical examples of localization of English pieces of literature. In his translation of Thomas Gray’s An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, Josef Jungmann replaced the English historical figures (Hampden, Milton and Cromwell) with Czech ones (Thurn, Rokycana and Žižka), while Jan Kaška replaced the London characters and setting with Prague in his translation of a piece from Charles Dickens’s Sketches by Boz. These examples show how domesticated poems and tales typically preserved the original plot with localized characters and setting. At present we can see an increase in scholarly research of the original and translated literature of the period.

Published: June 2024

The use of medicinal plants in primary healthcare in Africa, especially among populations in developing countries, is a common practice. To identify the most commonly used medicinal plants in traditional medicine for treating common respiratory disorders, an ethnobotanical survey was conducted in the Draa Tafilalet region, South-Eastern Morocco, involving 235 herbalists and sellers of medicinal plants from three provinces (Errachidia, Tinghir, and Zagora). Ethnobotanical data were evaluated using use value (UV), frequency of citation (FC), relative frequency of citation (RFC), and family importance value (FIV). The survey identified a total of 76 species belonging to 39 families, with the most represented being Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, and Asteraceae, followed by Fabaceae. As for the most commonly used species against respiratory disorders, they include Origanum vulgare L. (UV = 0.413), Artemisia herba-alba (UV = 0.370), Foeniculum vulgare (UV = 0.357), Thymus vulgaris (UV = 0.332), Lavandula dentata (UV = 0.319), Matricaria chamomilla (UV = 0.311), Nigella sativa (UV = 0.302), Allium sativum L. (UV = 0.298), Eucalyptus globulus (UV = 0.289), and Plantago major L. (UV= 0.281). Decoction (48.68%) and infusion (47.37%) are the most recommended preparation methods by herbalists for remedies. Leaves are the most prescribed part, while the majority of plants are exclusively administered orally (92.11%). This ethnobotanical survey holds the potential to aid scientists and researchers in identifying plants that treat common respiratory disorders, potentially invaluable for the development of novel drugs.
Molecular distinctions of bronchoalveolar and alveolar organoids under differentiation conditions

Published: June 2024

The bronchoalveolar organoid (BAO) model is increasingly acknowledged as an ex‐vivo platform that accurately emulates the structural and functional attributes of proximal airway tissue. The transition from bronchoalveolar progenitor cells to alveolar organoids is a common event during the generation of BAOs. However, there is a pressing need for comprehensive analysis to elucidate the molecular distinctions characterizing the pre‐differentiated and post‐differentiated states within BAO models. This study established a murine BAO model and subsequently triggered its differentiation. Thereafter, a suite of multidimensional analytical procedures was employed, including the morphological recognition and examination of organoids utilizing an established artificial intelligence (AI) image tracking system, quantification of cellular composition, proteomic profiling and immunoblots of selected proteins. Our investigation yielded a detailed evaluation of the morphologic, cellular, and molecular variances demarcating the pre‐ and post‐differentiation phases of the BAO model. We also identified of a potential molecular signature reflective of the observed morphological transformations. The integration of cutting‐edge AI‐driven image analysis with traditional cellular and molecular investigative methods has illuminated key features of this nascent model.

Teachers’ Perceptions of a Chatbot’s Role in School-based Professional Learning
Authors: Beyer Steven , Arndt Kerstin
Published: May 2024

This article focuses on the gap in research concerning the insufficient availability of information and communication technologies for teacher professional learning (TPL) and the consequent scarcity of research on technology acceptance (TA) in TPL. These research gaps are addressed through the implementation of a chatbot designed to support school-based TPL activities. Mathematics teachers and teacher training facilitators (n = 11) were interviewed regarding their TA after testing the chatbot, as a crucial factor for its implementation. The chatbot was developed to assist teachers in structuring planning tasks and facilitating the exploration and application of well-prepared knowledge. Results from qualitative content analysis indicate that this presumed potential of the chatbot can be considered confirmed in the present context. Additionally, four external variables were identified as key evaluation factors, with Perceived Quality standing out as the main reference point for Perceived Usefulness.
Eco-fertility: examining the climate change-total fertility rate nexus in the context of sustainable developmental goals in a systematic review approach
Authors: Sengupta Pallav , Dutta Sulagna
Published: June 2024

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are paramount as the global community confronts the ramifications of climate alterations, especially its implications on population dynamics. Initial studies suggest an intricate relationship between environmental determinants and reproductive choices. This systematic review elucidates the complex interplay between climate-related challenges and observed global fertility rate variations. A comprehensive search and analysis of literature published in the last 10 years (2013–2023), available in the PubMed database, delineates the relationship between environmental changes and fertility patterns in both human and animal populations. The review highlighted significant effects of climatic fluctuations on reproductive health, manifested as either adaptive or maladaptive responses to environmental stressors. This relationship not only influences population trajectories but may also have complications for the SDGs, specifically those pertaining to health, well-being, and gender equality. The study emphasizes the importance of intertwining demographic insights with ecological considerations. A deeper understanding of the nexus between climate and fertility can augment strategies aimed at global sustainability. The synthesized evidence underscores the urgency for further research, which seeks to seamlessly incorporate eco-fertility perspectives into wider climate and sustainability discussions.
Modality and Actuality: Lukács’s Criticism of Hegel in History and Class Consciousness
Authors: Rametta Gaetano
Published: June 2024

The present article tries to show the originality of Lukács’s theory of Actuality (Wirklichkeit) by comparing it with the same notion in Hegel’s Logic. It results that Lukács’s interpretation of Marxism and the Russian Revolution depends on a clear and independent theoretical position with regard to Hegel and his Idealistic theory of Modality. Particular importance is given to the new conception of the Dialectical interplay between the notions of Objective Possibility and Historical Necessity.
