Cristianos de Oriente en la España del franquismo: intereses políticos y propaganda en la recepción de seminaristas libaneses maronitas (1947-1962)
Authors: González Irene González
Published: December 2022

En 1947 el patriarca maronita de Antioquía, Anthony Peter Arida, solicitó desde su residencia oficial en el Líbano a la España de Francisco Franco la concesión de una serie de becas a seminaristas libaneses. La solicitud llegó en un momento en el que la dictadura franquista se encontraba sometida a un aislamiento internacional resultado de su posicionamiento durante la II Guerra Mundial y del nuevo orden internacional establecido por Naciones Unidas. El régimen no desaprovechó la oportunidad brindada por Beirut. Se trataba de un complejo cruce de intereses que iban más allá de los motivos políticos que España y Líbano pudieran tener y que se extendía a regiones más amplias como el Mundo Árabe y América Latina. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar desde la perspectiva de los intereses españoles el papel concedido a la religión católica como un elemento más de la diplomacia cultural y de la política exterior. Para ello se atenderá a cuestiones como la interpretación del pasado al servicio de unos intereses políticos, el papel de la propaganda, la evolución de la política de becas y los resultados obtenidos de ella en su inicio, auge y declive.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: The role of p-value knowledge for clinical practice is elemental; however, insufficient evidence on this is found in health science students. Objective: To determine the factors associated with p-value knowledge in human medical students. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. Application of a virtual survey to human medicine students from different faculties in Peru. Results: 54.69% had sufficient knowledge of p-value. The multivariate analysis found a statistically significant association with having sufficient knowledge on this topic in those who were between 6th to 9th semester (APr: 1.118; 95% CI 1.051 - 1.412; p=0.009) and medical internship (APr: 1.234; 95% CI 1.073 - 1.418; p=0.003); taking an external course in biostatistics, epidemiology or research (APr: 1.420; 95% CI 1.227 - 1.643; p<0.001); having read 6 to 12 articles per year (APr: 1.353; 95% CI 1.196 - 1.530; p<0.001) and more than 12 articles per year (APr: 1.590; 95% CI 1.313 - 1.967; p<0.001); and publishing at least one scientific article (APr: 1.397; 95% CI 1.199 - 1.628; p<0.001) or more than one (APr:1.424; 95% CI 1.196 - 1.696; p<0.001). Conclusion: It was found that the academic semester, having taken an external course, having read more than 6 articles per year and having published at least one scientific article are independently associated with having greater understanding of this topic.

Published: December 2022

Half a million women are estimated to die each year from pregnancy and childbirth. Greater than half of maternal and child deaths occur in Africa. Most of these deaths are caused by complications during or just after delivery and most of the complications are avoidable. Also, when reimbursement and performance policy is becoming a thing of need, patient experience and satisfaction is one of the ways of assessing and measuring the quality of care received in the health facility. This study attempted to explore patients’ satisfaction with intrapartum care provided by nurse-midwives in Civil Service Hospital, in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria. This is to enhance understanding of patients’ perception and values of pregnant women during delivery, as well as factors influencing their satisfaction in other to guide nurse-midwives in providing quality care. Hence, working towards health-related Sustained Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce child mortality by two-thirds. The study employed a qualitative research design and a purposive sampling technique was used to select 16 mothers who just delivered in Civil Service Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara State. A semi-structured interview guide was used to collect the data. In-depth Interviews were done which comprised 16 participants. A qualitative method (thematic analysis) was used to analyse the data. Findings from the discussions revealed that the majority of the women said that they are highly satisfied with the provided by the nurse-midwives because of the type of care received from the competent nurses. it was also discovered that expectation is highly linked with satisfaction. Based on the findings; the participants recommended that the toilet facility, labour rooms and hospital beds should be renovated; electricity and water supply should be improved.

The major reason for carrying out stability studies of a drug product is to establish the shelf life of a drug during the period of storage so as to guarantee its quality, effectiveness and safety. Real time stability studies data from 2018-2022 were obtained from selected pharmaceutical industries located within North Central, Nigeria. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the data obtained for the real time stability studies was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 23. The results obtained showed that both chemical and microbiological parameters checked were within the pre-set specifications despite the changes in the results as the storage increases due to environmental factors such as: temperature, humidity, light, exposure to oxygen and container –closure system used for the packaging of the drug product. Pathogenic bacteria such as: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa recorded 0.00 cfu/ml and the values obtained for total viable aerobic mesophilic bacteria plate count and fungi were within the pre-set specifications while Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans were sensitive to Methylated Spirit. There was a significant difference in the data analysed (P<0.05). The implication of this study is that the drug product may not be stable if the shelf life increases beyond what was stated for them. Hence, these results provided clues to how the quality of the product changes with time under different environmental factors (temperature, relative humidity, exposure to oxygen and light) and the interaction between the drug product and container-closure system used. This study suggests the need for pharmaceutical industries to continuously carry out stability studies of drug products in order to know the changes that may likely occur during the storage and to establish the shelf life of the drug product.
Incidence of Moxifloxacin serious adverse drug reactions in Pneumococcal infections virus infected patients detected by a Pharmacovigilance program by laboratory signals in a Tertiary hospital in Chhattisgarh (India)
Authors: Dewangan Vandna , Kumar Sahu Ram , Satapathy Trilochan
Published: December 2022

The direct reporting of adverse drug reactions by patients is becoming an increasingly important topic for discussion in the hospital of Pharmacovigilance. Voluntary adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting is fundamental to medical drug safety surveillance; however, substantial under-reporting exists and is the main limitation of the system. At this time, hospital accepts consumer reports. The World Health Organization estimates that in 2005 and as well as 2019-2021 pneumococcal infections were responsible for the death of 1.6 million human worldwide. Pneumonia, the lungs become filled with fluid and inflamed, leading to breathing difficulties. For some people, breathing problems can become severe enough to require treatment at the hospital with oxygen or even a ventilator. The pneumonia that COVID-19 causes tends to take hold in both lungs. Moxifloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is used for the treatment of respiratory tract, pelvic inflammatory disease, skin, and intra-abdominal infections. Its safety profile is considered favorable in most reviews but has been challenged with respect to rare but potentially fatal toxicities. The most common adverse drug reaction (ADR) constipation is nausea, vomiting, fatigue, alopecia, drowsiness, myelosuppression, skin reactions, anorexia, mucositis, diarrhoea and Medicines that have been particularly implicated in adverse drug reaction-related hospital admissions include anti-platelets, anticoagulants, cytotoxics, immunosuppressant’s, diuretics, anti-diabetics and antibiotics.

Being in nature
Authors: Bütschi Gabriela
Published: December 2022

This paper presents core findings of the explorative research study on individuals’ living experiences in nature using Moustakas’ (1990) qualitative method of heuristic inquiry. One-on-one interviews were conducted with six co-researchers between the ages of 29–59, lasting between 75–105 minutes, from which several shared themes emerged. Co-researchers revealed how personal difficulties in their lives gave rise to a desire to go into nature to find healing. Nature was deemed to be non-judgemental and provide space for feelings to surface, be acknowledged and integrated, creating the possibility for healing and spiritual growth. Nature was perceived as healer and teacher, providing the opportunity to discover a sense of oneness and connection with nature and the self. This also promoted some degree of altruism and an increase in the intrinsic aspirations of the co-researchers. There was a consensus that language cannot adequately express nature and transformational experiences. Understanding the dichotomy of human and nature as separate appears to be a key step in the journey, resulting in the realisation of our commonality and connection. Results indicate that human-nature connection is essential and intrinsic in human beings and the research findings illustrate the potential psychological, physiological, physical, and spiritual benefits.
Effects and potentials of self-created, heartfelt embodied prayers in times of uncertainty
Authors: Bloch Jasmin
Published: December 2022

Can prayer offer a tool to enhance life-circumstances? This paper investigates different creative ways to develop prayer, as well as prayer's potential for psychological well-being, embodiment, transpersonal states and inner transformation. An experiential pilot study on self-created heartfelt embodied (SCHE) prayer was conceptualized and conducted with eight research participants over the course of six weeks during the uncertain times of COVID-19. Participants enacted four prayer cycles with the support of optional guidelines and two group prayer webinars. Their experience was documented with a prayer workbook and qualitative questionnaires. The present study applied a heuristic inquiry methodology beneficial for the investigation of unexplored territory. The article includes a descriptive analysis of three participants' lived experiences and insight into three types of group composite depictions. Significant findings are revealed via various creative and statistical representations of data. The results of this research suggest eight themes and processes, and identify connection as the core theme. Further highlighted themes include: relationship to self, depth and feeling, transformation, heartfelt experience, discovery and insight, finding my way/style, and transpersonal experiences (divine/source and nature/planet). The findings, which suggest a number of benefits, are discussed, and considered alongside other prayer approaches and contemporary evidence-based studies.
Van Gogh’s Parisian Gardens on the Butte Montmartre
Authors: DiMarco Christa R.
Published: December 2022

Vincent van Gogh generated around 150 paintings, plus drawings and works on paper, while he lived in Paris from 1886 through 1888. Scholars tend to focus on the paintings he made after he left the capital for the Provençal town of Arles. Iconic Arlesian images such as Night Café and Sunflowers have overshadowed the Paris-period paintings and, in turn, the sociocultural underpinnings of his oeuvre. This essay focuses on one of the largest bodies of imagery Van Gogh completed in Paris: a series depicting small gardens for the working class that sprawled down a hill behind a popular tourist attraction on the Butte Montmartre. These works have been seen as depictions of rural Montmartre, but the essay locates them in the context of tourism and also connects them to Émile Zola’s 1873 novel Le Ventre de Paris. In doing so, the author views Van Gogh’s seemingly traditional landscapes as departing from the pictorial compositions he studied and embracing instead a pictorial frame that conveys the subjugation of the working class amid social reform efforts related to communal gardens.
PANDEMIC INFLUENZA, A THREAT TO INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
Authors: BUŞE Mihaela
Published: December 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the international community, causing a terrible shock among people everywhere. An invisible enemy that has spread all over the globe and left behind death and suffering, lockdown, unemployment, weakened national economies, a whole new depressing and frightening reality. Were there any other pandemics? Could this pandemic have been better managed? Has this threat been identified in national security strategies? Did the states act separately or unitarily? After almost two years, were there lessonslearned? I reviewed the US national security strategies from 1987 to 2021 in order to see if the pandemics were mentioned as threats to the security of the American people. Then I did the same with Romania's last two security strategies. I looked for documents that showed the interest of states for the consequences of a pandemic similar with the one in 1918, which would show that pandemics were perceived as security threats before the Covid-19 pandemic broke out. I also looked for concrete actions of the states for the management of a pandemic,pandemic preparedness plans. I also highlighted the challenges states were facing following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in the medical field and in the economy. Although the management of the pandemic was initially a race against the clock, each country trying to cope with the large number of people hospitalized and lacking medical equipment, it later became clear that cooperation between states and organizations and mutual aid is the solution to get out faster from this health crisis.
THE SUBTLETY OF COMIC REGISTER IN PERSUASIVE COMMUNICATION

Published: December 2022

: Humour is a discursive strategy with huge persuasive potential, which values the interlocutor. The use of comic register is not only proof of the communicator's intelligence, but also a form of interlocutor consideration, who is credited from the beginning with a sense of humour. Using comicality in persuasive communication is an option as tempting as it is risky, because not everyone tastes the same kind of humour. In this article we shall try to reveal the specifics of the comic register in discursive strategies and propose a humour typology, based on five relevant criteria: thematic, attitudinal, intentional, axiological and narrative, starting from the attributes that accompany the noun "humour" in various communication situations.
FEMINISM IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Authors: LIRĂ Corina-Andreea
Published: December 2022

From a theoretical point of view, for many decades the discipline of International Relations was dominated by the triad of realism, which remained the overwhelmingly dominant theoretical approach. It was not until 1980 that other political approaches began to gain some momentum. International relations is one of the last areas to accept feminism. This has contributed greatly to its use in almost all areas of research. Compared to other disciplines, the feminist aspect in international relations appeared much later. Feminism is a series of movements aimed at defending equal opportunities for women in the different areas of politics, social rights and other aspects of society. Feminist approaches to international relations became widespread in the late 20th century, and these approaches called for women’s experiences to be ignored from studies of international relations theory. Feminists who study international relations have argued that gender issues apply to international relations. Women succeed through their ambition, diplomacy and oratory to excel in the leadership area, which is the main premise for women to lead fully, dynamically but also in an original way. Throughout history, women have gone through several stages that have finally brought her to the position where the male elite give respect, love and attention to women throughout society. This paper fully demonstrates the vitality and continued viability of feminist projects in a variety of forms and contexts, assesses the challenges facing feminism and strongly advocates its continued relevance to contemporary global politics. The main objective of this paper is to present the importance of feminism today and its role as a paradigm in international relations.
HUMAN SECURITY AS A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK INDISPENSABLE FOR ANALYSISNG THE RESPONSE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: LUCINESCU Alexandru
Published: December 2022

COVID-19 pandemic affected millions of people worldwide and challenged the ability of national and international institutions to help suffering people and prevent others from being infected. From a theoretical point of view, this pandemic was framed as a human security crisis by officials of the United Nations, politicians, and researchers because it had a severe impact on human lives as a result of posing a threat to their health. The centrality of human beings for the concept of human security allowed the COVID-19 pandemic to be connectedto human security and thus to be subjected to the process of securitization. A further aspect that significantly contributed to establishing this correlation was the fact that pandemic had been included in the concept of human security since it gained prominence back in 1994, becoming one of its characteristic constituents. Understanding how COVID-19 pandemic had been associated with human security and what made possible for them to be related contributes to explaining the present relevancy of human security, helps clarifying thetheoretical basis of its application to this pandemic, facilitates the framing of potential future pandemics as a threat to human security and improves the use of this theoretical outlook in relation with pandemics.
PUBLIC COMMUNICATION DURING UKRAINE’S INVASION AND ITS EFFECT ON PUBLICS
Authors: STOICA Mihaela
Published: December 2022

: Our paper examines the manner in which public opinion is affected by public communication in a very specific situation. The conflict in Ukraine has been on everyone’s mind for the last three months not only due to its unreasonableness but also due to the Ukrainians mastery of communicating to the public, be it national or international. As the conflict has grown stronger in its intensity so has the public communication on the Ukrainian side which took any given chance to address the international political scene through President Volodymyr Zelenski’s speeches in front of numerous Parliaments. While scrutinising the Ukrainian manner of communicating information and asking for humanitarian, financial and military aid, we will also inspect the manner in which the Russian side communicates. We will look into the effect that these addresses have had on the public opinion. The theoretical background of the paper includes the views on public opinion of Gabriel Tarde, Pierre Zémor’s definition of public communication as well as Jürgen Habermas’ communicative theory. These theories will assist us in our research to demonstrate which side communicates the better and which has the ability to use cultural references that support their message. Our paper studies an ongoing military conflict, i.e. the data that we have included so far could be interpreted differently later.

CHALLENGES IN USING IRS STRUCTURES IN UNCONVENTIONAL OPERATIONS IN THE CURRENT SECURITY CONTEXT
Authors: Stanciu Cristian-Octavian , JIANU Valeriu-Adrian
Published: December 2022

The unpredictability of the security environment, amplified by the current conflict in Ukraine, the increasing presence of unconventional operations in modern conflicts, create the premises for a real challenge in the use of ISR structures in support of decision makers at all levels. The current Russian-Ukrainian conflict demonstrates the existence of a broad unconventional approach both before and during the conduct of classical military action. The acceleration of the deteriorating economic relations between the Euro-Atlantic states on the one hand and the Russian Federation on the other, but also the effects of the pandemic will contribute to the continuation of tensions between the two blocs, as these appear to have an economic, energetic, sanitary and  social agenda to surpass the moment and redirect and channel their own resources towards solving problems of an internal nature.The definition of unconventional operations is a topic of debate for military theorists in all modern armies, the line between conventional (classical) and unconventional (non-classical) being increasingly  difficult to achieve.For ISR elements, the combination of hybrid, asymmetric, network-based, mosaic-type information operations is a turning point in trying to change the paradigm of information support in all confrontational environments, in the current security context. The diversity of unconventional operations, the permanent emergence of new features and different approaches of some state or non-state actors, represent a real challenge for ISR structures, both from a national and allied perspective.
CyberNSOF – A CRUCIAL FORCE MULTIPLIER IN MODERN WARFARE
Authors: UNGUREANU Dan-Marian , CUCINSCHI Alexandru-Lucian
Published: December 2022

Cyber security and special operations (CyberSOF) in the 21st century are constantly evolving and changing to meet today's threats. CyberSOF are constantly evolving as allied countries, strategic partners and key players in the Black Sea discover new tactics to achieve strategic objectives. So far, the one that has remained below the threshold of armed conflict by operating in the grey zone is the Russian Federation. The annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation is the first strong indicator that CyberSOF binomial operations have been executed. The Romanian Naval Special Operations Forces community is still developing specific guidelines or responses to deter or prevent a major cyber attack on Romania and its NATO partners. This research addresses an aspect of special operations and cyber community that has yet to be explained adequately. To achieve this goal, we will describe how the symbiotic relationship between Naval Special Operations Forces and Cyber Defense Command is crucial within the national military instrument of power at the strategic level and the impact of this binomial on the operational and tactical levels of hybrid conflict can be treated as both a force multiplier and force protection generator for Naval Forces and beyond. According to the specified causes to achieve our objectives, we will present the concept of Cyber Operations and Naval Forces for Special Operations (CyberNSOF), a novel concept that can produce strategic-level effects with minimal forces. Although the two entities presented above are services in the Romanian Military, used as a binomial (CyberNSOF) in support of the supported element, will be able to be used both as force multiplier, force protection element and last but not least as forces executing pre-emptive actions to deter the enemy. Taking these recommendations into account will increase the effectiveness of SOF maritime operations with the support of cyberoperations while ensuring the transition to a robust/ real joint capability in response to any emerging existing threats.
PARTICIPATION OF THE MILITARY SANITARY SERVICE AND BY DEFAULT, OF THE NATIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM, IN MULTI-DOMAIN OPERATIONS
Authors: ORDEANU Viorel , ANDRONIC Benoni
Published: December 2022

Multi-domain operation is an US military advanced concept of approaching future military action, superior to joint operation, able to optimize the way the military force adapts to the specifics of new risks and threats to the security of states and alliances. The participation of the Military Sanitary Service and implicitly of the National Health System, as well as other military and civilian components, in multi-domain operations is important for maintaining the combat capacity of the staff and Forces, for caring for the sick and wounded, for coordinating medical countermeasures in operational situations, thus contributing to the success of the operation by minimizing health losses. The National Health System (NHS) includes all national, regional, local and individual entities that aim to maintain health, regain it and prevent disease in the entire population, including the Armed Forces of that state. The NHS includes state and private organizations, all of which work together and co-operate as needed to address local or national health crisis situations or engage in international aid (e.g. Red Cross). Moreover, the field of Human Medicine is integrated, through the new and realistic “One health” concept, with Veterinary Medicine, Animal Husbandry, Agronomy and Environmental Protection.
THE NEW PARADIGM OF COMMUNICATION. INFLUENCING THE ALGORITHM THAT CONTROLS THE SPREAD OF INFORMATION
Authors: BELU Mihai
Published: December 2022

The media channel's audience was determined by the circulation or the coverage of radio and TV stations. The digital age has changed these milestones. The news reaches readers mainly through digital platforms, and media institutions are no longer broadcasters but content generators. We will analyze how specific technical parameters influence the audience. Some technical parameters affect the spread of information more than its quality. Some algorithms decide the spread of the news, and those are secret due to commercial laws. The algorithms that determine what information will be viral are the property of the companies operating the digital platforms that are ruling at this moment information industry. They seek profit, and the rules of the algorithms are profit-oriented. We will try to see what parameters are essential and how they influence the spreading of the news. We will take a closer look at the metrics of the most influential newspaper in Romania and the UK to find a relation between some technical facts and the news audience. The central fact analyzed in this research is the backlinks connecting a specific website to the worldwide web. This parameter remains one of the most crucial factors that influence the spreading of an article's news and newspaper audience.

"Science and Technology in Islam" is, besides "History of Arab-Islamic Literature", one of Fuat Sezgin's most important works. The five-volume work, published in 2003, aims to introduce the scientific and technical tools and equipment designed by Muslim scholars in the history of science and technology and reproduced by Fuat Sezgin on the basis of written sources for exhibition in the Museum of the History of Arab-Islamic Sciences in Frankfurt. The first volume, titled Introduction to the History of Arab-Islamic Sciences, is a unique text that reflects all of Fuat Sezgin's academic experience and accumulation of knowledge. Using the facts and viewpoints provided, this volume also seeks to address the following essential questions what scientific breakthroughs have resulted from Islamic culture, what cultural and technological products have been revealed, and which names have risen to prominence as a result? How did these studies make their way to the West, and how did they contribute to the development of contemporary science? What causes the Islamic world's scientific progress to stagnate and reverse? Is this kind of impasse and regress possible? What is the next stage for Islamic civilization, which has been stagnant and in decline for nearly 350 years? Fuat Sezgin was stimulated by these topics, which were not just intellectual but also philosophical, throughout his life. Science and Technology in Islam provide an informative and convincing response to him.
