Authors: Niketa Patel
Published: November 2024

In this 21st century, the world is facing complex challenges and to solve and face those challenges effective, innovative, and technically strong solutions are required. STEM education helps to do so by promoting critical thinking, developing a problem-solving attitude, and encouraging research which leads to innovation. This paper explores the vital role of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in helping India become a leading power in the world. For the implementation of STEM education for said purpose, the priority is preparing students with some basic skills for the jobs of the future as it automatically results in economic growth of any nation and hence for India too. Hence STEM education needs to be given serious thought by the powers to be. Despite the clear benefits of STEM education, various barriers and challenges continue to impede participation, especially among underrepresented groups such as women, minorities, and individuals from low-income backgrounds.

Designing a Model of Islamic Integrated University Curriculum (IIUC)
Authors: Aziz Dr. M. Abdul
Published: November 2024

The balanced growth of the total personality of an individual through the training of man’s spirit, intellect, self-feelings, rational and bodily senses constitutes the main aims of university education. The history evident the modern education followed by Greek mainly was based on philosophy aimed to serve the society through the church. However, more or less, the shift of the university education outlook took place in the last several centuries. Therefore, the philosophy, mainly theology-based education, has turned its focus into rationalism, then the market economy, and last into cognitive aspects of life. Consequently, the key purpose of university education, having well-rounded graduates, is missing as it lacks incorporation of generic aptitudes, disciplinary knowledge, social values, and ethics in curriculum resulting in outnumber forgery, deception, crimes, violence, intolerance, and corruption in society. Following that, the study was an attempt to look for the alternative curriculum that would be based on the integration of revealed, disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge and generic skills in ontology, epistemology, axiology, and methodology. Subsequently, the study examined the various ideas and models of the Islamic integrated curriculum, including the model of the American Liberal Arts University curriculum, the First World Conference on Muslim Education Model, and so on. It was able to provide an outline of an alternative model of Islamic Integrated University Curriculum (IIUC) with four outcomes as characteristics of its graduate, which are the good man, employable skilled, specialist of a discipline, and as a social being.
LA PHÉNOMÉNOLOGIE DE L'IMAGE DANS LA PHILOSOPHIE DE SARTRE. UNE LECTURE DU POINT DE VUE DU CONCEPT SARTRIEN DE « CONVERSION »
Authors: NEACȘU Adriana
Published: November 2024

This article addresses Sartre's conception of the image, developed by him from a phenomenological perspective. The authorpoints out that Sartre rejects the conception of his time about the image as a content of consciousness, placed in it as a material thing in space, and advances the hypothesis of the identity between them. For him, the image is a form of consciousness, an active and creative phenomenon. Sartre's phenomenological approach, carried out within the framework of eidetic psychology and situated on the plane of reflective experience, considered infallible, determines him to establish the features of the image, its main types and to realize their description. These are the express subject of the article. Numerousother aspects of the image are placed by Sartre in the sphere of experimental psychology, and that's why they are not the subject of this article. At the end of the article the author emphasizes the importance of Sartre's conception of image in substantiating his conception of man and freedom.

Authors: Rivera-Medina Carmen L. , Corbera Batlló David , Inda Anahí , Ohaco Elizabeth H. , Corbera Sastre Enric , Pallarès Sara
Published: November 2024

A nivel global, un 78% de los docentes reportan estrés relacionado con el trabajo, lo que resalta la necesidad de las técnicas para su prevención y manejo. La bioneuroemoción sostiene que, al tomar conciencia sobre cómo uno construye sus representaciones subjetivas e inconscientes, es posible modificar posteriormente las interpretaciones que uno hace sobre determinadas experiencias estresantes y, a su vez, rectificar la respuesta emocional y conductual. El presente estudio evaluó la viabilidad de una formación en línea en bioneuroemoción para docentes, orientada a promover habilidades metacognitivas como la autoconciencia, para aumentar el bienestar emocional del docente y disminuir su percepción del estrés. Se realizó un estudio piloto con una muestra de 331 docentes de 12 centros educativos ubicados en diversos países de habla hispana. Para evaluar la viabilidad, se revisaron las bajas, los docentes activos por tema y los que cumplieron con los criterios para aprobar la formación. Se evaluaron varios indicadores de estrés, antes y después de la formación. El estudio mostró la viabilidad y aceptabilidad de la formación en bioneuroemoción para docentes contando con la infraestructura necesaria para su implementación. La formación sugiere un impacto positivo tanto en la reducción de la percepción del estrés y síntomas psicológicos como en el incremento de la percepción de la calidad de vida.
Eliot’s Scientific Modernism: Newton, Einstein, and Adam Bede
Authors: Watanabe Nancy Ann
Published: November 2024

This exploratory article argues that Eliot uses figurative language to embody her knowledge of theoretical physics by poetically infusing plot structure with moral meaning in Adam Bede, which contains a unified vision of characters, societal milieu, and astrophysical environment. The article’s interpretive analysis demonstrates the influence of Newton’s and, by implication, Einstein’s theoretical physics in Adam Bede’s text, which links characters to their natural environment, analogically identifying them with sun, moon, and Earth. Adam Bede’s key chapters highlight metaphorical solar-lunar imagery inspired by Newton’s laws of motion in the solar system, and amenable to comparisons with Einstein’s empirical photoelectric effect and relativity theory. Blinded by ignorance and arrogance, lunar Hetty and solar Arthur fall into a prolonged collision that violates societal norms personified in earthy Adam. The feminist social conscience of Eliot outpaces Lewes, who advised her to relegate sexually exploited Hetty to a short story, urging her to make mercurial evangelistic Dinah the novel’s female protagonist. Commensurate with Adam Bede’s analogical Newtonian character depiction, Eliot shows narratological inventiveness consistent with her knowledge of mathematics and hard sciences, amalgamating omniscient Newtonian narration interspersed with Einsteinian terse asides, indirect discourse, and avant-garde stream-of-consciousness technique.
Nietzschean Decadence as Psychic Disunity
Authors: Creasy Kaitlyn
Published: November 2024

This article offers an account of Nietzschean decadence as a psycho-physiological condition characterized by a failure of psychic integration—a failure Nietzsche thinks precludes genuine agency, since the psychic integration the decadent fails to achieve is necessary for agency. As part of this account, this article develops an interpretation of an underexplored but crucial form of decadence: repressed decadence. Exploring this variety of Nietzschean decadence both enables us to make sense of the case of Wagner’s alleged decadence and adds nuance to predominance models of Nietzschean unity. After developing this account, the article argues that Nietzsche finds decadence especially problematic when it disempowers (or obstructs the empowerment of) the individual who suffers from it, even if only in the long run. The article concludes by demonstrating that in (rare) cases in which decadence facilitates individual empowerment, Nietzsche evaluates it positively, finding such a condition worthy of affirmation.
Endoscopic versus surgical management in Bouveret’s syndrome: A case series
Authors: Simões Bolota Joana , Leandro Sofia , Cotovio Manuel , Cinza Margarida , Senhorinho Rogério , Carvalho Manuel
Published: November 2024

Introduction: Bouveret’s syndrome is a rare entity, accounting for 1–3% of gallstone ileus cases. It is more common in elderly females and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It presents with epigastric pain, nausea, and vomiting in patients with concurrent cholelithiasis. Given the nonspecific symptoms, the diagnosis is supported with imaging highlighting Rigler’s triad. The therapeutic approach can be either endoscopic or surgical.

Case Series: The authors present two cases of Bouveret’s syndrome, managed with two different approaches. The first case is an 82-year-old man presenting with diffuse abdominal pain and distension, nausea, and vomiting. Blood tests showed increased inflammatory parameters and an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan compatible with Bouveret’s syndrome. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy revealed a fistula at D2 level, and an obstruction at D3, caused by a 3 cm gallstone. The patient underwent laser and mechanical lithotripsy for gallstone removal. The second case is a 71-year-old woman presenting with vomiting associated with dehydration and abdominal pain for several days. Blood tests showed increased inflammatory parameters and CT scan showed a bilioduodenal fistula at D2 level, with a 5 cm a gallstone at that level, confirmed in the endoscopy. An attempt to remove the gallstone was performed, without success, so the patient underwent laparotomy with extraction of the gallstone via an anterior gastrotomy.

Conclusion: Bouveret’s syndrome is a rare disease that requires thoughtful and tailored management. Given this rarity, there is minimal data to support specific therapy recommendations. Therefore, management should be tailored to the patient at the discretion of the multidisciplinary team and the resources of the institution.

Published: November 2024

The present paper entitled Preserving Literary Heritage Through Orality and Music: A Study of Ganga Sati’s Bhajans offers a unique window into the confluence of literary heritage and musical tradition, specifically within the context of Gujarati Folk music. The present study explores her bhajans from 3 different angles i.e. musicology, orality and Dhwani, as her bhajans, the outcome of intuitive poetic inspiration, rich in suggestiveness in the true sense of the term are preserved through oral tradition in the form of singing. The present study focuses on the function and impact of Gangasati's bhajans on the community, on how they are passed from one generation to another, taught, and performed. It examines how these bhajans embody the cultural and spiritual ethos of the time. The bhajans of Gangasati were original compositions and became widespread entirely through oral tradition. The orality aspect of transmission made her music widely accessible to a large population of non-literates, encouraging active community participation and spiritual engagement. The emphatic role of orality is highlighted since perpetuating and preserving the spiritual legacy along with the literary heritage was made possible through the persistent performances of Ganga Sati's bhajans and life story in the form of folk tales and singing in satsangs (devotional gatherings) and daira. The present study will examine the elements of Ganga Sati's bhajans, namely melody, rhythm, and improvisational aspects. The current study will also explore the use of Bhupali raga, a common raga facilitating easy memorization, to convey suggestive and mystical meanings to common people/laymen

Su narrativa expone tópicos existenciales, como el vacío, la muerte, la vida, la nada, dirigiéndoles siempre hacia una crítica social. Este artículo, centrado en Los años falsos, pretende acercarse a la crisis de identidad que surge cuando una sociedad mexicana sumida en la simulación se impone ante los individuos, envolviéndolos en tradiciones patriarcales que merman su condición de unicidad, haciéndoles caer en la angustia y en la inevitable soledad.
Lectura y sentidos: una forma de despertar el gusto por la poesía
Authors: Aguilar Ortiz Flor de María
Published: November 2024

El texto presenta los resultados y discusión de una investigación sobre el gusto por la lectura de poesía entre estudiantes de Lengua y Literatura Hispánicas. Para la realización de esta investigación se aplicó un cuestionario a estudiantes de segundo año de Lengua y Literatura Hispánicas. Por medio de este instrumento se identificó un alto porcentaje de preferencia por la lectura en general, aunque la mayoría de los estudiantes mostraron preferencia por la narrativa sobre la poesía. Solo cinco estudiantes disfrutan de la lectura de poesía, lo que llevó a explorar sus percepciones y temas de interés. Se discute la complejidad de la poesía, su subjetividad y su falta de comprensión entre los jóvenes, así como la baja preferencia por la poesía erótica, posiblemente debido a tabúes y confusiones con la pornografía. Se sugiere la necesidad de promover una comprensión más amplia y una apreciación más profunda de la poesía entre los estudiantes.

Mid-to-late Holocene vegetation and paleofire dynamics of the last 6,000 years in the Southeast Brazilian highlands montane rainforest
Authors: Ishimine Karoline Mayume , Facadio Ana Carolina , Coelho Netto Ana Luiza , Barth Ortrud Monika
Published: November 2024

The present study aimed to investigate the dynamic of the vegetation and the occurrence of local fires during the Mid-to-Late Holocene in the mountainous domain of the Serra do Mar (SE, Brazil). Investigation involved the analysis of charcoal particles, pollen samples and stable isotopes in colluvial sediment cores, in the upper portion of Macaé River's Basin (Rio de Janeiro State), in order to perceive the environmental changes. Previous studies conducted stable carbon isotope analysis and radiocarbon dating, indicating a timescale within the Mid-to-Late Holocene (last 6,000 cal yrs BP). Two cores were collected for palynological and charcoal particle analyses and the results indicated three significant shifts in the vegetation composition during this period. The analysis indicates that fires played a role in shaping the vegetation dynamics of the montane rainforest. Around 6,000 cal yrs BP, the montane rainforest was predominantly covered by herbaceous-shrub vegetation, characterized by an abundance of grasses and shrubs, along with frequent fires. Between 4,500 and 2,000 cal yrs BP, a transition occurred towards a denser canopy forest with increasing dominance of tree species such as Ilex, Alchornea and Machaerium, accompanied by a decrease in fire activity. Despite forest expansion, fires still occurred and became frequent in the last 900 cal yrs BP, leading to a decrease in tree density and opening of the canopy. Charcoal particles peaks reached maximum levels over the last centuries, being related to local anthropic action.

Authors: Tsysnetska Alina , Chernikhovskyi Mikhailo , Vujtsyk Yurii
Published: November 2024

Amidst the rising number of COVID-19 cases, particularly due to the emergence of a new Omicron variant known as “FLIRT,” Ukraine is also experiencing the prolongation of martial law and ongoing mobilization of military personnel. These concurrent events have led to a significant increase in the number of soldiers presenting with various skin lesions at military hospitals. The heightened stress, close living quarters, and potential neglect of personal hygiene during mobilization may contribute to the exacerbation and spread of dermatological and venereal diseases among troops.
This surge in dermatovenerological conditions has resulted in a substantial backlog of patients awaiting outpatient consultations. The situation underscores an urgent need to analyze the structure and prevalence of skin pathologies among military personnel, categorized by nosological entities. By conducting a thorough analysis, healthcare providers can identify common conditions, recognize patterns of disease transmission, and understand the underlying factors contributing to this increase.
Such insights are crucial for improving and optimizing the provision of specialized medical care at different levels within the military healthcare system. Enhanced understanding will facilitate the development of targeted prevention strategies, efficient resource allocation, and tailored treatment protocols. This will not only alleviate the current strain on medical facilities but also improve overall health outcomes for soldiers during this critical period. Addressing these challenges is essential for maintaining the operational readiness of the military forces and ensuring the well-being of those serving during the mobilization in Ukraine.

Findings show CAPM’s decisions align 87% with MA-analyzed price movements, underscoring CAPM’s effectiveness and the value of using multiple methods for financial predictions. While CAPM proves robust during economic recovery, further analysis is needed for optimal investment strategies. This study’s results challenge some arguments against CAPM’s accuracy.
The Impact of ESG Disclosure, Hedging Policy, and Cash Holding on Firm Value
Authors: Lestari Tri Utami , Hasanah Sri Indah
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of ESG disclosure, hedging policy, and cash holdings on firm value. The sampling method employed is purposive sampling, focusing on energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The sample consists of 11 companies over the period from 2018 to 2023, yielding a total of 60 observations. The data utilized in this research are secondary, obtained from annual reports and sustainability reports of the companies. Data analysis is conducted using panel data regression analysis. The findings indicate that ESG disclosure does not have a significant impact on firm value. This study reveals that many companies in Indonesia have yet to implement sustainability concepts or publicly disclose ESG information. ESG disclosure remains in a developmental stage and has not been widely adopted, thus it is not a primary consideration for investors. Conversely, the hedging policy positively affects firm value, suggesting that companies that implement hedging strategies can enhance their value. Meanwhile, cash holdings do not exhibit a significant influence on firm value.

Between immersion and detachment. Does	every landscape have	its own atmosphere?
Authors: Bégout Bruce
Published: November 2024

In this article, we’ll be looking to see if any landscape has an ambience. In doing so, we first highlight what in the landscape is opposed to ambience, namely detachment and distance, and then indicate that it is thanks to this detachment that the viewer’s participation in the landscape is possible as ambience. In this way, we attempt to show that any landscape, taken in an narrow aesthetic sense, implies a complementary double operation of withdrawal and fusion, contemplation and atmosphere, but that it cannot be totally identified with an atmosphere, however holistic it may be.
Landscape – More than a mode of perception: a critique of Hermann Schmitz’s conception of landscape
Authors: Meyer Kira
Published: November 2024

Landscapes are paradigm cases for a theory of atmospheres like that of Hermann Schmitz since there are several atmospheres which can be experienced in landscapes. Though, landscape is rather seldomly picked out explicitly as a central theme in Schmitz’s work. An exception, however, is his article Landscape as a Mode of Perception, in which he argues that something becomes a landscape not by belonging to so-called nature, but by a specific mode of perception. I will critically analyze his conception of landscape and argue that landscape is more than a mode of perception: the aspect of naturalness must also be given. Corporeal communication with vastness and, that is, excorporation (Ausleibung), is not enough to understand what is specificity of the landscape. The inclusion of the dimension of naturalness allows us furthermore to better understand one of the most important functions of landscape, namely recovery, and the often-associated transcendence of the subject-object-dichotomy.
The	landscape spreads as	far as you can feel it. An atmospheric liminology
Authors: Griffero Tonino
Published: November 2024

My hypothesis is that landscape is identified by the atmospheric feeling it radiates in a now constant and now more ephemeral way and by the felt-bodily resonance it generates in those who simply perceive it, and a fortiori in those who are also deeply affectively grasped by it. In partial contrast to a reductionist approach prevalent today, the intention is to demonstrate that the (feeling of) landscape, in its constitutive extraneousness to the objective-quantitative dimension, can never be fully explained in pragmatist and socio-constructivist terms. In fact, it holds and even enhances its critical role if its fundamental affordance remains that of allowing a ‘contemplative’ (in the broadest sense) perspective, i.e. a involuntary, distanced, supervenient as well as ‘framed’ by boundaries perception. Precisely in questioning its boundaries, how it extends exactly as far as you feel its inherent atmosphere, the paper sketches in conclusion a liminology of the landscape on an atmospherological basis.
Weather, climate,	and atmospheres. An application to the landscape
Authors: Borriello Sara
Published: November 2024

The aim of this article is to examine how weather phenomena affect the landscape, not only in terms of its visual or geomorphological appearance, but also by modifying the emotional disposition that the landscape evokes. By adopting an atmospheric perspective, I intend to demonstrate that each landscape possesses its own mood (Stimmung), closely linked to the atmospheric-climatic events that unfold within it. My hypothesis is that such phenomena, due to their pervasiveness on a sensory level, can produce a real metamorphosis of the landscape, which also extends to the affective qualities that the landscape ‘radiates’, and which therefore do not primarily depend on the perceiver.
My analysis is structured into two parts. In the first part, a) I attempt to prove that meteorological and climatic atmospheres, due to their extra-psychic nature, cannot be explained in empathic-projective terms; and b) I propose understanding the landscape as an expressive whole whose ‘emotional physiognomy’ changes according to the atmospheres that pass through it. In the second part, I support my argument with a literary example to show how the fundamental emotional tone (Grundstimmung) of the landscape can change radically following the manifestation of a specific atmospheric phenomenon.
Dancing	with the landscape. Anna Halprin ‘explorative’ dance as the encounter with nature’s and architecture’s atmospheric affordances
Authors: Massimo Serena
Published: November 2024

Following Jean-Marc Besse’s identification of landscape as a dynamic, changing, relational and ‘emergent’ entity, I argue in this article that the artistic creative process is a way of ‘doing with’ landscape that fully embraces this peculiarity of landscape. The art of dance, in particular, makes it clear that it is the artist who creates a kind of mutual attraction between the (trans)formative forces of the landscape, suggesting its renewal and thus giving impetus to its metamorphic and transformative nature. Drawing on Tonino Griffero’s neo-phenomenological approach to the characterisation of landscape as an atmosphere, i.e. as an emotional tonality effused in a ‘felt-bodily’ space, I emphasise the role of the affective dimension in the perception of landscape as something ‘to do with’ rather than ‘to act upon’ in artistic practice. To this end, I take as a case study Anna Halprin’s ‘exploratory’ dance, which focuses on fostering an individual and collective search for a harmonisation of the relationship between movement and emotion. Drawing on notions of the ‘felt body’, ‘atmospheric affordances’ and ‘ecstasies of things’, I analyse the role that her outdoor dance studio – designed by landscape architect Lawrence Halprin – plays in placing the creative process at the centre of dance’s very specific way of ‘doing with’ the landscape.
Relative Efficiency of Different AM Fungi on Growth and Nutrient uptake in Moringa concanensis
Authors: Panwar Jitendra , Vyas Anil
Published: November 2024

Eight arbuscular mycorrhizal species, namely Acaulospora mellea, Gigaspora gigantea, Gigaspora margarita, Glomus deserticola, Glomus fasciculatum, Sclerocystis rubiformis, Scutellospora calospora and Scutellospora nigra, collected from rhizosphere soils of M. concanensis from arid and semi-arid regions of India were cultured on Cenchrus ciliaris. Pot cultures of these eight species were used to inoculate. M. concanensis in order to assess effect of these AM fungi on biomass production and nutrient uptake in this multipurpose endangered tree species of Indian Thar desert. Out of these AM species, Gigaspora margarita was found to be the most significant in increasing plant biomass as well as nutrient uptake.
Effect of Gamma Irradiation and Pre-Sowing Treatments on Growth Attributes of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth.
Authors: Hanumantha M. , Vasudeva R. , Shashidhara G.
Published: November 2024

The dry seeds of Albizia lebbeck were treated with 10, 30, 50, 70 and 90 kR of gamma irradiation from a CO60 source, then seeds were either sown directly or subjected to pre-sowing treatment (immersed in boiled water for 2 min. followed by soaking in cold water for 24 h.). Pre-sowing treated seeds showed a higher germination, better height and dry weight compared to those, were sown directly.
As the dose rate increases, there was a decreasing trend in all above parameters. Highest CV (15.06%) was for RVI and lowest CV (7.17%) for plant height was observed. Dose of gamma irradiation had a significant effect on shoot length (plant height), SDW and RDW, while hot water treatment had a significant effect on SVI, RVI. Both dose and hot water pre-sowing treatment significantly influenced RVI and SVI. The LD50 values for different parameters are also worked out. It appears that irradiating seeds of Albizia lebbeck at 40 to 60 kR would result in maximum recovery of mutants.
Reflections on Unexpected Outcomes
Authors: Clouder Lynn , Deepwell Frances
Published: November 2024

This paper reports the findings of the initial phase of an action research project involving the introduction of WebCT online discussion forums to facilitate reflection in undergraduate physiotherapy students. Students spend an introductory fifteen weeks away from University during which they gain hands on experience of professional practice in the workplace. This being a period of rapid development that is potentially stressful and challenging (Yuen, 1990; Mitchell & Kampfe, 1993; Clouder, 2001) the notion of providing an online collaborative space to develop reflective capabilities appeared sound. Findings suggest that certain assumptions were naïve. However, unforeseen benefits to such collaboration are discussed together with further ideas for encouraging critical reflection through online discussion.
