Authors: Ευσταθιάδου Άννα
Published: October 2023

Στόχο της παρούσας έρευνας αποτελεί η διερεύνηση της συγχρονικής και διαχρονικής (σε βάθος δεκαετίας) αξιοποίησης των δομών των εσπερινών σχολείων από το γυναικείο φύλο, η αποτύπωση του κοινωνικού προφίλ των μαθητριών, η καταγραφή των προσδοκιών/στόχων τους, η αξιολόγηση της φοίτησης από τις ίδιες τις μαθήτριες (εμπόδια και προοπτικές), η επιθυμία τους για συνέχιση των σπουδών τους στην Τριτοβάθμια εκπαίδευση και, τέλος, η συμβολή των εσπερινών σχολείων στη βελτίωση της προσωπικής, κοινωνικής και επαγγελματικής ζωής των τελειοφοίτων και των αποφοίτων μαθητριών τους.Κρίθηκε σκόπιμη η συλλογή και επεξεργασία τόσο ποσοτικών όσο και ποιοτικών δεδομένων με στόχο την, όσο το δυνατόν, ασφαλέστερη και εγκυρότερη εξαγωγή συμπερασμάτων. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων πραγματοποιήθηκε σε πρώτο επίπεδο με άντληση στοιχείων από το διαθέσιμο αρχειακό υλικό των Εσπερινών σχολικών μονάδων της Περιφερειακής Ενότητας Κοζάνης (ΓΕΛ και ΕΠΑΛ) (για τη δεκαετία 2001-2010), σε δεύτερο επίπεδο με ερωτηματολόγιο, το οποίο διανεμήθηκε στους μαθητές και τις μαθήτριες των Εσπερινών Λυκείων (ΓΕΛ και ΕΠΑΛ) και σε τρίτο επίπεδο με ημι-δομημένες συνεντεύξεις τόσο με τελειόφοιτες της χρονιάς 2010-2011 αλλά και με απόφοιτες της δεκαετίας 2001-2010 με στόχο την τριγωνοποίηση των δεδομένων. Τα ερευνητικά ευρήματα έδειξαν ότι η συντριπτική πλειοψηφία των μαθητών/τριών των εσπερινών σχολείων προέρχονται από χαμηλά κοινωνικοοικονομικά στρώματα, έχουν διακόψει τη φοίτηση κατά την εφηβεία για οικογενειακούς (δημιουργία οικογένειας) αλλά και οικονομικούς λόγους (ανάγκη συνεισφοράς στην γονεϊκή οικογένεια), οι προσδοκίες τους συνοψίζονται στη βελτίωση του επαγγελματικού, κυρίως, τομέα και ,αμέσως μετά, στη βελτίωση της προσωπικής και κοινωνικής τους ζωής. Αξιολογούν τη φοίτηση τους ως μια δεύτερη ευκαιρία που τους δόθηκε για να διεκδικήσουν ένα καλύτερο μέλλον για τους/τις ίδιους/ίδιες και τις οικογένειές τους.

Authors: Bakkaloğlu Halil
Published: October 2023

Background In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between eating disorders and pain levels before and after implantation in dental patients. Methods A pre-implant and post-implant questionnaire was applied to 223 patients who applied to Cyprus Health and Social Sciences University and underwent implant application. Personal information form, Rezz Eating Disorders Scale and Five Factor Personality Types Scale were applied to the patients in the survey application. Results Extroversion and neuroticism personality type levels of patients were significantly higher after implant (p<0.05). Pain, eating disorder and other personality type differences between before and after implant were statistically insignificant (p>0.05). Before implant, pain level was positively correlated with eating disorder (r=0.190; p<0.01) and negatively correlated with self-control (r=-0.169; p<0.01). Eating disorder level was positively correlated with pain (r=0.190; p<0.01); negatively correlated with extroversion (r=-0.187; p<0.01) and self-control (r=-0.178; p<0.01). After implant, pain level was negatively correlated with neuroticism (r=-0.140; p<0.05) and openness to experience (r=-0.136; p<0.05). Eating disorder level was negatively correlated with extroversion (r=-0.237; p<0.01), self-control (r=-0.151; p<0.05) and neuroticism (r=-0.187; p<0.01). Extroversion personality type level had significant and negative effect on eating disorder after implant at multivariate level (B=-0.43; p<0.01). Conclusions After the implant, psychological support can be given to improve the extrovert personality structures in order to reduce the eating disorder levels of the patients and to prevent the possibility of eating disorders.
LINGUISTIC CATALAN NATIONALISM IF THE 1870S – 1930S: POLITICAL GENERATIONS AND SOCIAL MODERNIZATION
Authors: Kirchanov Maksim
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the activities of three generations of Catalan philologists and linguists who have made a significant contribution to the development of linguistic Catalan nationalism. The author analyzes the history, directions, forms and features of the activities of several generations of Catalan intellectuals, whose activity contributed to the normalization and standardization of dialect forms of Romance speech in Catalonia, which led to the emergence of the modern Catalan literary language. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of the historical, political and cultural contribution of nationalist intellectuals to the development of the Catalan language through the prism of the social consequences of modernization processes. The article analyzes 1) the main stages in the history of various generations of Catalan linguistic nationalists, 2) their participation and role in the processes of standardization and normalization of the Catalan language, 3) the contribution of language activists to the consolidation of the Catalan linguistic identity in particular and the national Catalan identity in general, 4) the role nationalist intellectuals, amateurs and professional linguists, in the development of Catalan nationalism, 5) the contribution of linguistic nationalists to raising the status of the Catalan language in the social, political and cultural spaces of Catalonia. It is assumed that Catalan linguistic nationalism significantly complemented political nationalism, contributing to its strengthening and consolidation of the Catalan national identity in contexts of social transformation of the region's society. The generations of linguistic Catalan nationalism are identical to the stages in the history of political and ethnic nationalisms. The results of the study suggest that in the 19th and 20th centuries, the cultural activity of linguistic nationalists contributed to the processes of modernization of Catalonia, which led to the transformation of the region from a peripheral one to a region with complete social and political structures, the functioning of which was impossible without the Catalan language.
The "World Revolution" in Russian Anarchism
Authors: Matyukhin A. , Mezencev S.
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this article is to identify the specifics of the theory of the "world revolution" in the ideological and political heritage of Russian anarchism. Historical, comparative, hermeneutic methods of scientific research were actively used to write the article. The ideologists of Russian anarchism in their interpretation of the "world revolution" competed with Marxist doctrine, with its popular dialectical theory of socio-economic formations and class struggle, where the final stage of historical progress was to be the achievement of global communism. Rejecting the Marxist concept of "dictatorship of the proletariat", the Russian anarchists proceeded from an alternative methodology that emphasizes the primacy of natural, biological factors of social processes. According to anarchists, the basic factor of progress is the natural inclination of people to solidarity and mutual assistance. Hence the Russian anarchists opposed the natural nature of the evolution of mankind to any "forced" forms of social organization. This applied, first of all, to the institution of the state, regardless of its external form – communist, liberal-democratic, despotic. The basic parameters of the social ideal in the theory of Russian anarchism were the principles of anarchy and freedom, the building of social existence on the basis of self-organization, self-government and a global decentralized confederation structured "from the bottom up". The former territorial and political borders were abolished, nations were abolished. The anarchists saw the achievement of this ideal as an exclusively revolutionary way, gradually embracing all new countries, regions, continents. The article emphasizes the constant appeal of Russian anarchists to the arguments of universal morality - "freedom", "justice", "brotherhood", "justice", "equality" in justifying the need for a world anarchist revolution, which in practice turned into political abstractions with destructive consequences for societies. At the same time, the "secondary" ideology of Russian anarchism as an intellectual product is noted in relation to Marxism and natural science theories of the XVIII-XIX centuries, as well as the tendency of anarchists to utopian thinking, to speculative building of their global social ideal.
Prophetic Inspiration in the Light of the Prophet’s Relationship with God in the Book of Jeremiah
Authors: Pikor Wojciech

Prorocze natchnienie w świetle relacji proroka z Bogiem w Księdze Jeremiasza
Papieska Komisja Biblijna w dokumencie Natchnienie i prawda Pisma Świętego proponuje ujęcie fenomenologiczne natchnienia biblijnego, koncentrując się na więzi łączącej autorów biblijnych z Bogiem. W przypadku natchnienia prorockiego ta szczególna relacja łączącą proroka i Boga wyraża się, zdaniem Papieskiej Komisji Biblijnej, w funkcji proroka jako wysłannika Boga, która jest identyfikowana na podstawie stereotypowych formuł prorockich i opowiadań o powołaniu prorockim. Jeśli jednak Bóg udziela się prorokowi w słowie, to pytanie o więź łączącą proroka z Bogiem musi uwzględnić różne doświadczenia słowa Bożego, które są udziałem proroka. Szczególne jest w tym kontekście świadectwo Księgi Jeremiasza, która w opowiadaniu o powołaniu (Jr 1,5–10) przedstawia proroka jako syna w relacji do Boga objawiającego się mu jako ojciec. W wyznaniach Jeremiasza (szczególnie Jr 15,10–21 i 20,7–13) prorok zmagający się ze słowem Bożym jawi się przyjacielem Boga. Wreszcie komunikacja proroka za pomocą pisma (Jr 36) zakłada rolę proroka jako pisarza, który jest świadkiem słowa Bożego. Te trzy relacje proroka z Bogiem – syna, przyjaciela i świadka – wykraczają poza model natchnienia proroka jako wysłannika Boga.
The Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Berbeć Dawid , Czaplińska Nikol
Published: October 2023

In 1979, when the Pahlavi dynasty has fallen in the result of Islamic Revolution, many aspects of political and social life in the country changed drastically. The state of Iran was no longer a monarchy but became a theocratic Islamic Republic of Iran. New government guided by Supreme Leader, the Great Ayatollah, cut all ties with the Western world. The liberal values of occidental culture were replaced with traditional Islamic principles, and former ally of the United States became American enemy. Despite undeniable shifts throughout the last decades, some crucial aspects of the situation remained unchanged: Iran did not part with the tradition of despotic, undemocratic, and oppressive rule. The aim of this article is to analyze chosen aspects of the Iranian Regime. The authors examined Iranian political history of the twentieth century, which demonstrates the continuity of authoritarian practices. Furthermore, the paper includes an analysis of the economy, society, and political system of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Quick Response Under Strategic Manufacturer
Authors: Chen Jiguang , Hu Qiying , Shi Duo , Zhang Fuqiang
Published: October 2023

Problem definition: Quick response is a classic operations strategy that allows a retailer to place a rapid replenishment order during the selling season using information learned from early sales. The benefits of quick response are widely studied in the literature under the condition that the manufacturer’s wholesale prices are exogenously given. Motivated by the practice of emerging small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) fashion brands, this paper revisits the value of quick response for a retailer when a manufacturer can strategically set its wholesale prices. Methodology/results: We develop a game-theoretic model consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer. In contrast to the traditional quick response setting, the manufacturer can dynamically adjust wholesale prices for both regular and replenishment orders. First, we investigate whether and when quick response still benefits the retailer. We find that, under low or significantly high demand uncertainties, the firms share a common preferred ordering strategy, and quick response benefits the retailer as well as the supply chain. But, under moderately high demand uncertainty, the retailer’s favored ordering strategy conflicts with the manufacturer’s interest; as a result, the manufacturer would set wholesale prices to counter the retailer’s ordering strategy, which makes quick response detrimental to the retailer. Second, we search for mechanisms that can resolve this conflict and restore the beneficial effect of quick response. We show that letting the manufacturer commit to wholesale prices up front is ineffective in fixing the problem. However, if the retailer can propose a take-it-or-leave-it wholesale price for the replenishment order (possibly with the replenishment quantity) once the regular wholesale price is set, then quick response leads to a win–win outcome for both firms. Managerial implications: The findings caution retailers with weak power (e.g., SMEs) when adopting quick response, especially when facing moderately high demand uncertainties. The retailer, although weak, should be aware of the retailer’s natural ability to propose replenishment terms because, otherwise, the retailer can always forgo quick response; this opens up an opportunity to design more favorable arrangements.

Objetivo: Los trabajadores de la salud se enfrentaron a niveles sin precedentes de carga emocional relacionada con la pandemia de la COVID-19. Este estudio pretende conocer la autopercepción del estado de sobrecarga emocional de los profesionales del Servicio Navarro de Salud-Osasunbidea (SNS-O) en dos momentos durante la pandemia y sus factores asociados.
Método: Estudio transversal mediante el uso de un cuestionario que incluye la Escala de Autoevaluación de Sobrecarga Emocional, enviado por correo electrónico a todos los profesionales sanitarios del SNS-O en dos momentos de la pandemia, en octubre de 2020 y octubre de 2021. Los resultados de la escala global y de las subescalas ‘“miedos-ansiedad”’ y ‘“respuesta afectiva”’ se compararon entre los dos momentos de medición según puesto de trabajo, ámbito, área y servicio, mediante modelos ANCOVA?. 
Resultados: Participaron en la encuesta de 2020 1.485 (11,3%) sanitarios y 950 (7,3%) en la encuesta de 2021 de. La diferencia media para el score global entre 2020 y 2021 fue -1.87 (95% IC: -2.38, -1.35), indicando una reducción de la sobrecarga emocional con la evolución de la pandemia, con algunas diferencias entre categorías profesionales.
Conclusiones: El año 2020 tuvo gran impacto en la sobrecarga emocional que disminuyó al año siguiente. Uno de los mayores temores del personal sanitario durante su exposición laboral a enfermedades infecciosas epidémicas sigue siendo el miedo a contraer la enfermedad y transmitirla a sus familiares y entorno social. Conforme aumenta la proximidad con el paciente y su entorno, incrementa la probabilidad de afectación psicoemocional.

Authors: De Pedro Jiménez Domingo
Published: October 2023

Introducción: El tolueno, hidrocarburo aromático presente en varios productos, se absorbe principalmente por vía respiratoria y afecta diferentes sistemas corporales. Los enfermeros/as del trabajo son clave para detectar exposiciones agudas y crónicas. Además, son responsables de recolectar y procesar las muestras para su biomonitorización. Sin embargo, la información sobre los requisitos de recogida y manipulación, así como de intervenciones enfermeras es escasa y heterogénea. 
Objetivo: Revisar la bibliografía disponible sobre el tolueno y la enfermería del trabajo, identificar requisitos de recogida y procesamiento de muestras, así como los signos y síntomas de exposición y relacionarlos con diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras.
Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica aplicando la estrategia PICO, no limitada por tipo de documento, fecha o idioma en PubMed, Web of Science y Scopus. Se clasificaron los signos y síntomas según sistema y prueba de enfermería realizada durante el examen de salud, identificando diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras.
Resultados: No se encontraron estudios sobre tolueno y enfermería del trabajo. De 60 citas identificadas, 6 artículos señalaban requisitos de recogida de muestras. Se identificaron signos y síntomas de acuerdo a las pruebas de enfermería y se relacionaron con diagnósticos e intervenciones de enfermería.
Conclusiones: La presencia de la enfermería del trabajo en la literatura científica sobre tolueno es escasa. Los criterios de recogida de muestras son heterogéneos y limitados. No se han encontrado estudios que relacionen signos y síntomas de exposición al tolueno con diagnósticos e intervenciones enfermeras. Se propone un cuadro relacional novedoso. Son necesarios estudios de toxicología laboral desde la perspectiva de la enfermería del trabajo.

Authors: Ha Seunghee , Kwon Jiyoon , Jeong Yulim
Published: October 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the verbal imitation of words and nonwords in children aged 1 to 2 years old. Methods: The study involved four age groups, each six months apart, ranging from 1 to 2 years of age. The children were asked to repeat 12 real words and 12 nonwords, with corresponding reference materials. The responses were classified as correct, incorrect, or no responses. The incorrect responses were further analyzed to identify patterns, including whole-word errors, segmental errors, babbling, and different vocabulary responses. Verbal imitation performances were compared in terms of age and word types. Results: The ratio of no responses in verbal imitation decreased significantly, while the ratio of correct responses increased significantly between the late 1-year and early 2-year age groups. The interaction effect between word types and age in the correct responses of verbal imitation was significant, indicating that 1-year-old and early 2-year-old children did not show significant differences between words and nonwords, whereas late 2-year-old children exhibited better imitation performances for words compared to nonwords. Children produced significantly higher ratios of incorrect responses in verbal imitation for nonwords compared to words. Babbling accounted for more than half of the incorrect responses produced by the early 1-year-olds, which dramatically decreased in older children groups and was seldom observed among 2-year-olds. The late 1-year-olds and 2-year-olds primarily demonstrated whole-word error patterns in both word and non-word imitations. Conclusion: This study confirmed that verbal imitation abilities significantly increased in accordance with children’s growing stage of phonological and lexical development.

Authors: Cho Yoo-Jung , Ha Ji-Wan
Published: October 2023

Objectives: The present study compared performance on an auditory word recognition task with different visual, auditory, and contextual information across age groups to determine how these variables affect auditory comprehension in normal aging. Methods: We conducted an auditory word recognition task with 20 normal adults from each of the following age groups: young, middle-aged, old, and elderly, and compared their correct response scores and analyzed their error responses. We also conducted a correlation analysis between the score of auditory comprehension in Reading Diagnostic Assessment, RDA and the performance of the auditory word recognition task. Results: There was a significant between-group main effect, as well as within-group main effects of auditory and contextual information, and interaction effects between auditory information and group, contextual information and group, and auditory information and contextual information. The old and elderly groups made more errors in the following order of error types: unrelated errors, formal errors, mixed errors, and semantic errors; and there were no significant differences in error patterns between the two groups. There was a significant positive correlation between the RDA and the auditory word recognition task. Conclusion: This study confirms that auditory word recognition performance declines with aging in normal adults, and that difficulties may be more pronounced under certain conditions, such as noise and low contextual sentences.

Introduction: Posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prostheses are characterized by an articulation between the polyethylene tibial post and the cam of the femoral component. Tibial post-fractures, traumatic and non-traumatic, are uncommon but catastrophic complications. We report a rare and unusual case of complete atraumatic erosion of the tibial post after PS-TKA. Case Report: We present a case of atraumatic tibial post-failure (complete erosion) in a 73-year-old female after primary TKA. The patient presented with chronic pain, effusion, and instability both in the coronal and sagittal plane over a period of 1 year. There were no signs of component loosening on plain radiography, no fractures, and revealed medial extension laxity on valgus stress views. During revision surgery, polyethylene insert retrieval revealed a completely eroded tibial post, without any obvious fracture. There was no fractured tibial post lying freely in the joint cavity. The patient was subsequently revised with a hinged component due to gross bi-planar instability. Conclusion: In a post-TKR (PS knee) patient with chronic pain and instability, one should consider tibial post-complications after ruling out infection. Chronic instability can cause progressive erosion of the tibial post, which can fail without an obvious fracture. Revision surgery with constrained implants may be needed to manage such cases. Keywords: Instability, failure, polyethylene, total knee arthroplasty, revision.
Development of Rainfall-runoff Modeling Using a Tank Model: Problems and Challenges in Province of Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Basri Hairul
Published: October 2023

Abtstract - Rainfall-runoff modeling using tank model founded by Sugawara has been widely used in Asia. Many researchers use the tank model to predict water availability and flooding in a watershed. This paper describes the concept of rainfall-runoff modeling using tank model, discuss the problems and challenges the use of tank model, especially in Province of Aceh, Indonesia and how to improve the outcome of simulation of tank model. Many factors affect the rainfall-runoff phenomena of a wide range of watershed include: soil type, land use types, rainfall, morphometry, geology and geomorphology, caused the tank model usefull only for concerning watershed. It is necessary to adjust some parameters of tank model for other watershed by recalibrating the observed and simulated discharges. Rainfall runoff modeling using the tank model for a watershed scale is more reasonable focused on each sub-watershed by considering soil types, land use types and rainfall of the concerning watershed. Land use data can be enhanced by using landsat imagery or aerial photographs to support the validation the existing of land use type. Long term of observed discharges and rainfall data should be increased by set up the AWLR (Automatic Water Level Recorder) and rainfall stations for each of sub-watersheds. The reasonable tank model can be resulted not only by calibrating the observed and simulated discharges, but also by considering the observed and simulated infiltration for each soil and land use types of the concerning watershed.
Intimations of Infanticide in Little Women
Authors: Larkin Ilana
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article reads Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (1868) against nineteenth-century mothering manuals and the psychoanalytic object-relations theory to argue that the novel links maternal rage with infanticide. Feminist scholars have noted how Little Women , though ostensibly a story of family harmony, conceals a deep vein of anger. Jo March's trajectory, like that of other nineteenth-century sentimental heroines, stages a transformation from rebellious tomboy to self-controlled angel-in-the-house. Attending to the ways in which the text persistently links anger to infanticide, this article shows how the idealized angel-in-the-house functioned as an idealized solution to guard against the imagined dangers of female rage. Moreover, the binary between angel mothers and infanticidal ones was inflected with racial meaning that served to distinguish who was and wasn't included under the umbrella of national belonging. In recovering the spectre of infanticide subtending Little Women , this article asks us to re-evaluate the ways that cultural texts transmitted messages about love and rage and the political implications of how such relationships to affect determined the lives and developmental trajectories of children.

TSMPN-PSI: high-performance polarization scattering imaging based on three-stage multi-pipeline networks
Authors: Fan Xueqiang , Lin Bing , Guo Kai , Liu Bingyi , Guo Zhongyi
Published: October 2023

Polarization imaging, which provides multidimensional information beyond traditional intensity imaging, has prominent advantages for complex imaging tasks, particularly in scattering environments. By introducing deep learning (DL) into computational imaging and sensing, polarization scattering imaging (PSI) has obtained impressive progresses, however, it remains a challenging but long-standing puzzle due to the fact that scattering medium can result in significant degradation of the object information. Herein, we explore the relationship between multiple polarization feature learning strategy and the PSI performances, and propose a new multi-polarization driven multi-pipeline (MPDMP) framework to extract rich hierarchical representations from multiple independent polarization feature maps. Based on the MPDMP framework, we introduce a well-designed three-stage multi-pipeline networks (TSMPN) architecture to achieve the PSI, named TSMPN-PSI. The proposed TSMPN-PSI comprises three stages: pre-processing polarization image for de-speckling, multiple polarization feature learning, and target information reconstruction. Furthermore, we establish a real-world polarization scattering imaging system under active light illumination to acquire a dataset of real-life scenarios for training the model. Both qualitative and quantitative experimental results show that the proposed TSMPN-PSI achieves higher generalization performance than other methods on three testing data sets refer to imaging distances, target structures, and target materials and their background materials. We believe that our work presents a new framework for the PSI and paves the way to its pragmatic applications.
Effect of aberrations on the beam quality factor of Hermite-Gauss beams
Authors: Mphuthi Nokwazi , Bell Teboho , Mabena Chemist M.
Published: October 2023

The effect of aberrations on the beam quality factor (M2) of Hermite-Gauss (HG) beams is examined. Using the method of moments, we derive closed-form analytical expressions of M2 due to astigmatism and spherical aberration. Our analysis reveals that the radius of the HG beams plays a significant role in determining the effect of the aberrations on M2. For each aberration, we establish a critical width that separates the region where M2 changes infinitesimally from the region where it changes sharply. The analytical results are validated through numerical simulations.
Viewing-angle expansion in holographic displays implemented with a modulator having finite space-bandwidth
Authors: Gyu Chae Byung
Published: October 2023

The expansion of viewing angle is a crucial factor in holographic displays implemented with a spatial light modulator having a finite space-bandwidth. A holographic image is reconstructed at a viewing angle dependent on the numerical aperture of digital hologram. However, an interference of high-order noises is inevitable at an angle larger than the diffraction angle by a hologram pixel. This study presents the theoretical foundation for optimizing the Fresnel hologram to recover the low space-bandwidth. The higher spectrum components of the digital hologram beyond the bandwidth exists in the form of their replications. The expansion of angular spectrum by its repetition during optimization procedure increases the image resolution, resulting in a viewing angle that is determined by the hologram numerical aperture. We numerically and experimentally verify our strategy to expand a viewing angle of holographic image.
Structured illumination contrast transfer function for high resolution quantitative phase imaging
Authors: Shanmugavel Sibi Chakravarthy , Zhu Yunhui
Published: October 2023

We report a sub-diffraction resolution imaging of non-fluorescent samples through quantitative phase imaging. This is achieved through a novel application of structured illumination microscopy (SIM), a super-resolution imaging technique established primarily for fluorescence microscopy. Utilizing our contrast transfer function formalism with SIM, we extract the high spatial frequency components of the phase profile from the defocused intensity images, enabling the reconstruction of a quantitative phase image with a frequency spectrum that surpasses the diffraction limit imposed by the imaging system. Our approach offers several advantages including a deterministic, phase-unwrapping-free algorithm and an easily implementable, non-interferometric setup. We validate the proposed technique for high-resolution phase imaging through both simulation and experimental results, demonstrating a two-fold enhancement in resolution. A lateral resolution of 0.814 µm is achieved for the phase imaging of human cheek cells using a 0.42 NA objective lens and an illumination wavelength of 660 nm, highlighting the efficacy of our approach for high-resolution quantitative phase imaging.
