A problemática ambiental oriunda da gestão dos resíduos sólidos é considerada uma questão mundial, principalmente em áreas rurais que não apresentam estruturas de saneamento básico. O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a situação atual das características e manejo de resíduos sólidos de áreas rurais do município de Itacoatiara/AM. Inicialmente, foi realizado uma caracterização quali-quantitativa dos resíduos sólidos gerados nos distritos rurais no mês de novembro de 2022. Além disso, no mesmo período foi realizado uma análise do manejo dos resíduos sólidos, envolvendo todas as etapas do gerenciamento. Os resultados mostraram uma alta geração de resíduos orgânicos para os distritos de Lindóia (50%) e Novo Remanso (46%) quando comparada as demais classes de resíduos. A estimativa da quantidade de resíduos sólidos urbanos gerados nos distritos rurais de Lindóia e Novo Remanso do município de Itacoatiara foi de 8.680,13 kg.dia-1, 260.403,90 kg.mês-1 e 3.124.846,80 kg.ano-1. Quanto ao manejo dos resíduos analisados, foi possível observar a carência nas formas de acondicionamento dos resíduos sólidos, sendo que a coleta e o transporte são realizados por meio de veículos basculantes sem a utilização de lonas e encaminhados diretamente para lixões a céu aberto, sem nenhuma forma de triagem ou recuperação dos resíduos sólidos urbanos. Os resultados chamam atenção para a realidade da gestão de resíduos sólidos, que sem a devida valorização, proporcionam impactos sobre o meio ambiente e a saúde pública nas comunidades rurais do município de Itacoatiara/AM.Palavras-chave: Gerenciamento.

Toxic metals (lead, cadmium and mercury) and essential trace elements (copper and zinc) were analyzed in a total number of 120 samples of muscle, kidney and liver collected from camel, cattle, buffalo and sheep using atomic absorption spectrophotometer after wet digestion. The concentrations of heavy metals ranged from 0.17 ± 0.6 to 0.49 ± 0.09, 0.03 ± 0.01 to 0.12 ± 0.03, 0.39 ± 0.1 to 1.19 ± 0.18, 0.10 ± 0.04 to 8.82±1.01 and 3.25 ± 0.16 to 8.35± 1.33 mg/kg for lead, cadmium, mercury, copper and zinc, respectively. In general, the liver samples had the highest level of lead and mercury, while kidney samples showed the highest content of cadmium as compared with muscle samples. Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) levels in all of samples were less than the Egyptian standard limits. The estimation of human health risk for adults revealed an estimated daily intake (EDI) value of muscle and offal below threshold of oral reference dose (RFD) for all metals analyzed. Hazard index (HI) and Hazard quotient (THQ) for all the analyzed metals were below 1, demonstrating that human health risk through consumption of meat and offal is not possible.

The increased resistance of vancomycin among methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has produced a major formidable threat in the therapeutic field. The current study analyzed the vancomycin resistance traits among MRSA isolates recovered from 148 samples of animal and human origins in Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. All staphylococci isolates were examined against 8 antimicrobials and vancomycin minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were then determined among phenotypic vancomycin resistant and intermediate S. aureus. Furthermore, all vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) isolates were exposed to PCR analysis of mecA and van genes. Herein, 45 of 86 Staphylococcus spp. were identified as S. aureus, while 41 were coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS). A higher incidence rate of S. aureus was observed in meat products (58.06%), but majority of CoNS isolates were isolated from milk samples (54.54%) with no statistical differences (P < 0.05) in the distribution of S. aureus and CoNS among all samples. Oxacillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid recorded the highest resistance percentages among S. aureus (93.33 and 88.89%) and CoNS (75.61 and 87.80%), respectively. Multidrug resistance (MDR) was detected in high proportions of S. aureus (64.4%) and CoNS (34.1%). Forty-two of 45 S. aureus isolates were MRSA, of which 14 were vancomycin resistant with MIC values ranged from 32-1024 μg/mL. PCR detection of mecA and van genes in the tested isolates revealed that they were all mecA gene positive, while 10 out of them had van genes. The vanB gene was found in 5 isolates with higher MICs (64- 256 μg/mL), while vanA gene was detected in 4 isolates with MICs of 128-512 μg/mL and only one isolate harbored both vanA and vanB genes with MIC value of 1024 μg/mL. According to the upsurge of VRSA prevalence rates, more attentions should be oriented for continuous monitoring of antimicrobial usage with the need for effective drugs against VRSA.
Perfekcja w sporcie jako szansa i zagrożenie dla zawodników
Authors: Ostrowska Aleksandra , Jochimek Magdalena
Published: May 2024

Dążenie do perfekcji jest nieodłącznym elementem towarzyszącym uprawianiu sportu. Wymagania stawiane osobom uprawiającym sport  niejednokrotnie wiążą się z koniecznością przekraczania własnych granic, co przekłada się na specyficzny sposób postrzegania sytuacji zadaniowych.  Starty w zawodach i wielokrotnie powtarzane na treningach ćwiczenia powodują, że zawodnik często zaczyna postrzegać siebie przez pryzmat spełnienia wyznaczonych przez siebie lub narzuconych przez środowisko standardów. W momencie, kiedy te standardy stają się sztywne i powodują, że od ich realizacji zależy sposób postrzegania własnej wartości, podwyższa się ryzyko rozwoju perfekcjonizmu, który będzie oddziaływał negatywnie na jednostkę. Perfekcjonizm jest pojęciem trudnym do zdefiniowania i wielowymiarowym, stąd badacze zajmujący się tym konstruktem korzystają z różnych ujęć teoretycznych, co utrudnia krytyczną analizę wyników badań i porównanie ich między sobą. Z tego względu celem niniejszego artykułu jest dokonanie przeglądu wybranych artykułów naukowych dotyczących perfekcjonizmu w sporcie. W analizie uwzględniono zarówno wyniki badań, które wskazują na korzyści płynące z perfekcjonizmu pozytywnego, jak i konsekwencje, z którymi wiąże się wykorzystywanie strategii poznawczo-behawioralnych związanych z perfekcjonizmem negatywnym. Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała, że badania dotyczące perfekcjonizmu są coraz częściej podejmowane w odniesieniu do działalności sportowej, szczególnie wśród zawodników w okresie adolescencji i kształtującej się dorosłości. Perfekcjonizm pozytywny wydaje się korzystnie oddziaływać na funkcjonowanie zawodników, jednak wiąże się z nim ryzyko rozwoju perfekcjonizmu dysfunkcyjnego. Kształtowanie się perfekcjonizmu u zawodnika wiąże się zarówno z wpływem jego otoczenia, jak i jego doświadczeniami nabytymi w procesie uczenia się, zarówno w środowisku sportowym, jak i rodzinnym. Z tego względu w ramach podsumowania uzyskanych wyników odniesiono sposobu funkcjonowania sportowca do modelu poznawczo-behawioralnego perfekcjonizmu dysfunkcjonalnego oraz określono możliwe sposoby oddziaływania w przypadku zidentyfikowania jego symptomów.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengelompokkan data aktivitas pasien penderita gangguan kecemasan sosial di Perusahaan Mental Healthcare yang berlokasi di Belanda dan mengukur afinitas klaster terhadap fase perawatan teridentifikasi berdasarkan tingkat kemiripan densitas features-nya. Metode pengelompokan data dilakukan dengan cara sebagai berikut: 1) melakukan data pre-processing terhadap data anonim pasien, data komunikasi, data pelacakan gangguan kecemasan sosial, data riwayat catatan harian, data pemberitahuan, data penyelesaian aktivitas terjadwal, data kuesioner terkait relevansi sesi perawatan, data riwayat sesi perawatan, dan data riwayat registrasi thought records, 2) melakukan exploratory data analysis untuk melihat sebaran data aktivitas, melakukan standarisasi data, dan menentukan jumlah klaster ideal, serta 3) membangun model clustering menggunakan algoritma k-Means. Sedangkan metode pengujian efektifitas pengelompokan data dilakukan dengan cara: 1) mengukur afinitas klaster terhadap fase perawatan teridentifikasi, dan 2) menghitung bobot feature untuk menemukan feature dengan karakteristik unik (dominan) di setiap fase perawatan. Model k-Means berhasil mengelompokkan data aktivitas pasien menjadi 10 klaster. Hasil clustering kemudian dianalisis dengan mempertimbangkan pola dan persentase afinitas klaster sehingga ditemukan 3 klaster yang dianggap paling merepresentasikan fase perawatan di Perusahaan Mental Healthcare. Temuan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa jumlah hari sejak pasien melakukan registrasi data, jumlah registrasi data yang terkait dengan gangguan kecemasan sosial dalam seminggu terakhir, perbandingan perubahan emosi bertendensi negatif seminggu terakhir dengan seminggu sebelumnya, nilai kuesioner terkait relevansi perawatan, dan nilai rendah di salah satu indikator kuesioner merupakan features pembeda untuk setiap fase perawatan. Selain itu, features tersebut memiliki kesesuaian tingkat urgensi paling relevan dengan daftar prioritas terapis pada saat menangani pasien. Meskipun demikian, penelitian lebih lanjut dan komprehensif perlu dilakukan untuk memahami dampak dari feature pembeda di setiap klaster agar dapat diarahkan pada pembuatan model klasifikasi untuk membuat sistem rekomendasi pasien berdasarkan tingkat urgensi penangananannya.

Background: The purpose of this case report is to highlight a rare entity of retroperitoneal liposarcoma presenting as inguinal hernia. Difficulty in preoperative diagnosis, surgical management & outcome are discussed. Pitfalls in diagnosis and management are also highlighted. Introduction: Inguinal hernia is a common condition with the majority of patients presenting in the surgical outpatient department. Retroperitoneal sarcoma projecting through the groin is very rare. In literature only 10 cases have been published over the last 30 years. Case Presentation: Middle age person presented in OPD with complaint of right Inguinal swelling for 1 & ½ years. He was diagnosed with right inguinal hernia. On exploration there was a huge mass communicating to retroperitoneum. Laparotomy was done & mass excised. On histopathology it was revealed to be liposarcoma. Conclusion: Sometime history, clinical examination and even investigations can be misleading but if inguinal hernia is large, growing slowly, non-reducible then retroperitoneal tumor must be ruled out carefully in differential diagnosis of hernia by extended preoperative workup.

Published: May 2024

To assist people in kicking cancer-causing habits, Fashion Fights Cancer presents a cutting-edge fashion collection that is modelled by aversion treatment methods. By combining psychology and fashion, this innovative method offers a special tool to encourage healthy lives and reduce the incidence of cancer. This collection offers an innovative and captivating approach to assist people in breaking bad habits by implementing the ideas of aversion therapy, which involves linking unpleasant stimuli with negative behaviours to prevent their recurrence. Every article of clothing in this collection is designed with attention to arouse feelings or visual signals that set up subconscious unpleasant reactions associated with particular actions that cause cancer. With thoughtfully chosen textures, colours, patterns, and design aspects, these pieces serve as concrete deterrents and reminders, encouraging wearers to reevaluate their decisions and make good transitions toward healthier ones. Fashion Fights Cancer allows people to address their habits in a novel and effective way by incorporating psychological concepts into fashion design. This compilation increases awareness of the link between lifestyle decisions and cancer risk while also promoting personal development. Fashion Fights Cancer promotes proactive health behaviours and emphasizes prevention in the fight against cancer by starting conversations and questioning social conventions through fashion. People are inspired to take control of their well-being and make wise decisions that prioritize long-term health and vitality thanks to this creative marriage of fashion and psychology. In this study, the clothes in the collection are designed to make people feel uncomfortable about habits that can cause cancer. They use colours, textures, and designs to remind people of these habits, encouraging them to think about making healthier choices instead. The goal is to use creativity to help people change their habits and improve their health. Combining fashion with psychology wants to help people understand how their lifestyle choices can affect their chances of getting cancer. They hope to inspire people to take better care of themselves and prevent cancer by starting conversations and encouraging healthy behaviours. This method also shows how using creative activities, like making clothes, can support people who are dealing with cancer.

.Utilizando la denominación de criminalidad prematura, relativa al fenómeno comúnmente conocido como delincuencia juvenil, se exponen los resultados de la investigación descriptiva realizada en varios establecimientos secundarios fiscales del centro de Quito.1 La investigación tuvo como objetivo principal permitir acercarse a la comprensión de las conductas problemáticas, identificando los principales factores crimino-impelentes que influyen en la generación de esa criminalidad prematura, puesto que tales conductas pueden convertirse en conflictos sociales. También se ha tenido en cuenta que existen visiones que buscan encontrar factores causales del delito, que inquieren no solo por la entrada en las actividades delictivas de menores de edad, sino, principalmente, tratando de responder a la siguiente interrogante: ¿todos los/las adolescentes que cometen infracciones, serán adultos delincuentes? Para tal efecto, la recolección de datos aplicó a ochocientos once estudiantes, en medio de la pandemia y usando una plataforma virtual, utilizando un cuestionario estructurado elaborado con el apoyo de una mesa técnica multidisciplinaria interinstitucional, con ocho categorías de factores de riesgo: historia vital, factores individuales, factores familiares, factores educativos, factores ligados al grupo de pares, factores sociales o comunitarios e influencia de medios de comunicación.
Criptomonedas como método de blanqueo de capitales

Published: May 2024

.El blanqueo de capitales, como fenómeno, está lejos de ser un tema de análisis finalizado, pues en un mundo globalizado en el que todas las actividades comerciales avanzan en torno al desarrollo de la tecnología y las distintas herramientas que este desarrollo provee, obliga a adecuar los estudios en torno a este tipo penal de forma constante. Una herramienta tecnológica que ha tenido un impacto importante en los últimos años en lo que a actividades comerciales respecta son las monedas digitales, también conocidas como criptomonedas, las mismas que por su mecanismo de utilización se han convertido en una opción atractiva para el cometimiento de delitos especialmente para el crimen organizado, siendo uno de ellos el blanqueo de capitales; tan es así que los distintos organismos dedicados a la lucha contra este delito a nivel global, regional y estatal han desarrollado diversos criterios normativos en aras de controlar el uso de esta herramienta como método de blanqueo, sin embargo, se presenta de forma deficiente, lo cual ha generado complicaciones en la esfera jurisdiccional al conocer los casos de blanqueo relacionado con el uso de criptomonedas.
The 19th-Century Inventories of the Museo Egizio, Turin: How to Get Lost in Them and How to Find Your Way Back
Authors: Moiso Beppe , Montonati Tommaso
Published: May 2024

The present study intends to analyse and contextualise the history of the 19th-century inventories of the Museo Egizio’s collections of Egyptian antiquities in Turin. The museum’s first collection, sold by Bernardino Drovetti and acquired by the Kingdom of Sardinia, was accompanied by an inventory compiled in French. This was the first in a series of inventories of the museum’s collection, which grew over time. This series was concluded in the last quarter of the 19th century, when a printed edition, still in use today, was published in two volumes in 1882 and 1888, respectively. This edition bears witness to the composition of the collection at that time. In 64 years (1824–1888), several objects changed their inventory numbers four times, making it difficult to reconstruct their museum biographies. The origin of the inventories themselves is not always entirely clear, some not being dated or signed. This article sets out archival research on this little-known aspect of the museum’s history. This study provides the initial results (detailed in a table and five appendixes) of ongoing work to identify the objects in the collection through the different inventories that have followed one another over time.

Introduction: Assaults by stabbing constitute a growing problem, leading to serious trauma to the upper limb. This study examines the characteristics, management and consequences of upper limb wounds caused by such attacks. Material and methods: This is a retrospective study of 504 cases of wounds of the upper limb caused by stabbing, collected over four years at the IBN ROCHD University Hospital in Casablanca. Data were collected from medical records and included information on injuries, surgical management, complications, and functional outcomes. Results: The lesions predominated on the left upper limb, mainly affecting the hand, wrist, and forearm. The injuries were varied, often involving tendons, nerves, muscles, bones, and vessels. Surgical management was carried out according to established principles, with specific repair techniques. Postoperative complications were common, including sensorimotor disorders, infections, and joint stiffness. Discussion: The results highlight the extent of upper limb trauma caused by stabbing attacks. The complexity of the lesions requires multidisciplinary care. Postoperative complications highlight the ongoing challenges faced by patients. In addition, the psychological consequences of aggression are significant and require special attention. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of understanding and treating upper limb wounds caused by stabbing attacks. The results provide essential information to improve management strategies and prevent long-term complications, while highlighting the medical and psychological challenges associated with these traumas.
TAVR with self- expandable valves: what challenges in bicuspid aortic valve disease?
Authors: Sara JOURANI  , Abdelkarim AITYAHYA  , Mohamed ELJAMILI  , Saloua ELKARIMI  , Mustapha ELHATTAOUI
Published: May 2024

Background: The bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) represents a complex anatomic entity for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) because of its unique technical challenges. All the randomized clinical trials comparing outcomes of TAVI with surgery till date, have excluded patients with bicuspid aortic valve. The only data in literature come from empirical observations, with large variability in implantation techniques across different centers and operators. Objective: These case reports describe the results of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis (BAV) using self-expandable valves with their clinical, imaging, procedural, and follow-up settings. Case reports: We report 3 cases of TAVR with BAV. The patients were at high risk of surgery. Baseline cardiac computed tomography (CT) was analyzed by interventional cardiologists. We used self-expandable valves in all the procedures. There were no cases of valve embolization or need for a second valve, no post-dilatation, no cases of moderate or severe aortic regurgitation, and none of the cases required a permanent pacemaker implantation. Conclusion: With the available observational data, it seems that TAVI is indeed technically feasible in selected BAV patients with acceptable results. Self-expandable valves can be safe and effective devices for these procedures. Most of the current data studies highlight the importance of preprocedural imaging determining the outcome of TAVI in BAV patients. Advancements device iterations and procedural refinements will continue to improve the outcomes of these patients treated by TAVR.

Fotofilmes e representatividade negra em “Travessia” (2017), de Safira Moreira
Authors: Souza Mateus Silva de , Colucci Maria Beatriz
Published: May 2024

Este artigo investiga os fotofilmes, produções híbridas que transitam entre a fotografia e o cinema. Nesses filmes, analisamos os trânsitos entre as imagens, compreendendo aspectos históricos e de linguagem, bem como as transformações dos processos fotográfico e cinematográfico, que ressignificaram as práticas audiovisuais. Observamos as experiências contemporâneas brasileiras e, particularmente, o filme “Travessia” (2017), curta-metragem de Safira Moreira que motivou inúmeras reflexões e trata da ausência das imagens em contextos de exclusão vivenciados por famílias negras. A presença da fotografia no quadro cinematográfico ressignifica essa ausência e afirma uma produção de autoinvestigação de cineastas negras brasileiras que confronta as fragmentações e lacunas relacionadas à visibilidade das temáticas étnico-raciais no cinema.

LA “CONDOTTA LIBERA” DELL’ILLECITO SPORTIVO DE IURE CONDENDO NELLA GIUSTIZIA SPORTIVA DELLA F.I.G.C.
Authors: De Michele Angela
Published: May 2024

The paper aims to offer a functional contribution, and in certain respects operational, to the experts on sports law who engage in the sector’s procedural dynamics, other than a scientific in-depth analysis of substantial and procedural subjects of the present case of match-fixing, with particular reference to the F.I.G.C. sports justice system. After a brief overview of the reference regulatory framework, the article issues a view of the concrete cases which has enriched de iure condendo the set of substantial and procedural rules applicable specifically to alterations of the course or the result of a match in the football world. From the notorious “Calciopoli” trial to the recent ‘capital gains case’, which has affected the European competitions’ rankings and the top divisions in Italian football and which, although it cannot relate to a combine on the field, being a managerial and economic offense, has profoundly altered the juridical understanding of the principles of loyalty and fair play, where the economic and financial behaviors of football clubs decisively invalidate the regularity of the championships.

Serologic Cross-reactivity of Murine Parvovirus Capsid Antigens
Authors: Wagner April M , Romero-Aleshire Melissa J , Billheimer D Dean , Henderson Kenneth S , Besselsen David G
Published: May 2024

Genomic sequence analysis of autonomous parvoviruses within the genus Protoparvovirus generates 2 groups that are principally of mouse origin: the minute virus of mice (MVM) strains (MVMp, MVMi, MVMc, MVMm) and the mouse parvovirus (MPV)–like strains (MPV-1, MPV-2, MPV-3, MPV-4, MPV-5, HaPV, LuIII). Baculovirus-expressed recombinant capsid protein (rVP2) from each of these 11 parvovirus strains were produced, purified, and demonstrated to form virus-like particles. Each rVP2 preparation was then used as antigen in a multiplex fluorescent immunoassay and to immunize 5 different strains of mice. Sera from immunized mice, mice experimentally monoinfected with various MVM or MPV isolates, and mice naturally infected with murine parvoviruses were evaluated with the multiplex fluorescent immunoassay rVP2 panel. Results for sera from immunized mice indicate that homologous antigen–antisera interactions produced the strongest seroreactivity. All MVM antigens were highly cross-reactive with heterologous MVM antisera, while more variability was observed in heterologous antigen–antisera reactions among the MPV-like strains. MPV-1, MPV-3, HaPV, and LuIII were highly cross-reactive with each other, MPV-2 and MPV-5 were highly cross-reactive with each other, and MPV-4 displayed modest cross-reactivity with certain MPV-like strains. Serologic cross-reactivity patterns similar to those in immunized mice were observed in mice experimentally infected with MVMp, MVMm, MPV-1, MPV-5, or HaPV, and in sera from mice naturally infected with MVM and MPV. Serologic cross-reactivity spectrums suggest a small panel of rVP2 antigens (MVM, MPV-1, MPV-2, MPV-4) combined with the generic murine parvovirus recombinant nonstructural protein 1 (rNS1) antigen are sufficient for qualitative detection of currently known MVM and MPV-like strains.

Published: May 2024

Improved diagnostic capabilities and a desire to reduce or refine the use of animals as soiled bedding sentinels (SBS) have driven interest in developing the use of PCR-based testing methods, such as exhaust dust testing (EDT), for routine rodent health surveillance. We compared the absolute and quantitative PCR results from EDT filters with SBS mice by routine screening via a panel of 19 infectious agents including agents known to be excluded or present in the colony. In this study, EDT and SBS were compared at days 0, 90, and 180 in 3 facilities (n = 12 rooms) with animals housed on IVC racks (n = 19 double-sided and 23 single-sided racks). All racks were negative for excluded agents (n = 15 agents) during the study. The bacterial agent Helicobacter spp. was consistently detected on EDT filters while less consistently detected via SBS. EDT filters detected Corynebacterium bovis better than SBS in areas where the agent was present. EDT filters and SBS mice tested for murine norovirus (MNV) demonstrated agreement for positive tests by both PCR and serology. For rodent chaphamaparvovirus-1 (RCHPV-1) we compared EDT to urine and feces from SBS. Six cages of SBS were positive for RCHPV-1 by fecal PCR with 5 out of 6 testing positive on urine, while only 3 out of 6 EDT filters tested positive. Since real-time fluorogenic PCR was used for testing, relative PCR copy numbers for each positive finding were evaluated to estimate organism load at the rack level. Copy numbers allowed for further characterization of agent presence within a colony. Furthermore, we compared copy numbers with cage census for MNV and Helicobacter spp., which was positively correlated for EDT testing but not for SBS. Overall, our results demonstrate that EDT’s ability to detect many commonly excluded agents is comparable to or better than SBS.
Das böse Erbe der Erlösung
Authors: Etgeton Stefan
Published: May 2024

Im psychoanalytischen Nachdenken über destruktive Züge der Masse spielt die Abwehr von Ambiguität eine wesentliche Rolle. Dazu greift das Kollektiv auf Mythen zurück, die im Besonderen mit Gewalt verbunden sind. Auch die christliche Erzählung vom Erlösungstod Jesu enthält eine solche destruktive Schattenseite: das mit der Lüge vom Gottesmord verbundene antijüdische Ressentiment, das liturgisch und kulturell tradiert wird und sich in Prozessen destruktiver Gruppenbildungen jederzeit – und insbesondere in Krisenzeiten – reaktivieren lässt. Stefan Etgeton zeigt anhand konkreter Überlieferungsstücke aus dem Umfeld der Karfreitagsliturgie und der protestantischen Liedtradition, wie Passion und Pogrom rituell unterschwellig verknüpft und das Narrativ des Gottesmords präsent bleiben. Mit Dietrich Bonhoeffers späten Überlegungen zu einem religionslosen Christentum wird am Ende dennoch deutlich, dass gute Theologie nicht selten ein wirksames Gegengift gegen schlechte Religion darstellt.
Development and application of Korean traditional music education program using metaverse platform
Authors:   The Korean Society of Music Education Technology, Lee Seon Mi
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop a program that can increase the effectiveness of Korean traditional music education using the Metaverse platform and to analyze the educational effect through application of the program. This study proposed a new direction for Korean traditional music education beyond the limitations of existing face-to-face practical education and sought specific ways to realize it. To this end, we reviewed existing studies and looked at the Metaverse platform currently being used for educational purposes. Then, according to the research procedure, Gathertown and Ifland were selected as the main platforms and a Korean traditional music education program based on them was designed over a total of 7 sessions. Each session included a variety of activities, including metaverse theory and practice and presentations of learners’ achievements. This program was pilot-applied to prospective culture and arts educators. A satisfaction survey was conducted on the effectiveness, ease of use, and necessity of continuous use of the Korean traditional music education program using Metaverse. Through this series of processes, it was confirmed that the Korean traditional music education program using the Metaverse platform was effective in improving learner immersion, communication and collaboration, and arousing interest in Korean traditional music. However, this study only described application results without controlling specific variables, and there are limitations in generalizing the results. In the future, based on this study, specific empirical research on Korean traditional music education using the Metaverse platform is required, considering various educational purposes and targets. This study provides a new perspective on Korean traditional music education methodology and is expected to promote follow-up research and practical application in this field.

GI’s professional world image through creolised texts (as exemplified in English)
Authors: Romanov Alexander Sergeevich , Klimenko Mikhail Borisovich , Prokhorov Sergey Sergeevich
Published: May 2024

The paper analyses GI’s professional world image. The primary focus is on the axiosphere as manifested in the US military community’s sublanguage. The study centers on the grapheme-iconic modalities through which social stereotypes are expressed within creolised texts. The study’s central objective is to substantiate the hypothesis that the nonconformity inherent in the distinctive substandard linguistic phenomena of the military sublanguage constitutes a form of socially sanctioned, legitimised dissent. This research is aimed at empirically discovering social stereotypes embedded in the vernacular of informal communicative practices. The scholastic novelty of the study resides in the author’s interpretative analysis and categorisation of the social stereotypes encoded in polycode texts. The findings reveal that the informal register of the military sublanguage encapsulates not only the value orientations intrinsic to the institution but also delineates the contentious facets of military service. These facets frequently lurk in obscurity, misaligned with the overarching official narrative. Six thematic categories have been discerned, elucidating the veracities of military life, prototypical characterisations, societal challenges faced by service members, the cultural rift between military personnel and civilians (military-civilian gap), entrenched gender stereotypes, and various elements of the “camouflaged” societal framework. This research offers an inaugural attempt to decode the GI professional world through the lens of stereotypes, drawing upon an array of specialised creolised texts.
