The Critical Montessori Model
Authors: D'Cruz Ramos Genevieve
Published: December 2024

Despite an increase in race-related Montessori research over the past decade, the Montessori community lacks a unified framework to examine the Montessori Method and its philosophy through a critical racial lens. Without explicit discussions or universal training about race and whiteness, the Montessori Method can be interpreted through a color-blind lens unless scholars and practitioners explicitly use a critical racial perspective. This paper proposes the Critical Montessori Model (CMM), which centers high-fidelity Montessori practice—including the Montessori materials, child development, respect for and relationships with children, and observation as a learning tool—encompassed by critical race theory, as a way for researchers and practitioners to interpret the Montessori Method. This theoretical model critiques systems of whiteness and instead proposes centering the lived experiences and knowledge of the BIPOC community, drawing from theories such as culturally relevant/sustaining pedagogy and community cultural wealth (CCW). The hope is that this model will be the start of calibration among critical Montessori research to unify Montessori practitioners in their interpretations of Montessori education and the possibilities it provides for anti-racist education that centers Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC). The paper ends with recommendations for future research using the CMM as a framework and calls for more BIPOC voices to be highlighted in the Montessori research community.
Sciurus vulgaris fuscoater wiewiórka pospolita. Gryzoń znany, a zadziwiający
Authors: Talarczyk Katarzyna
Published: December 2024

Literature review publication with a subjective choice of topics. Subsections discussing the origins and phylogenetic analysis of the family Sciuridae, including the oldest found species of squirrel, the history of the systematics of the Sciuridae family, and the oldest fossil skeleton of a flying squirrel.
The focus is on the Central European red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris fuscoater) and Sciurus vulgaris subspecies and their systematics. There are Sciurus vulgaris ecology, and anatomy descriptions. Interactions with an invasive grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), dependence between these two species, differences between their memory; the impact of the grey squirrel on forest ecosystem and population of the red squirrel in Europe by transmission of pathogens. Results of the latest research on the expansion of the gray squirrel in Europe. Risk factors relating to contact with S. vulgaris as well as natural enemies of the squirrel are mentioned. The publication describes the Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans), and adoption in squirrels with an example of the American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus).
The second part is of a popular science nature and is intended for younger readers, where the found young squirrel, by me, is mentioned. Also, there are descriptions of chosen features of necrophilic and necrophagic insects. I also mention my scientific interests in bioarchaeology and biological anthropology, which contributed to the research on the squirrels anatomy. The original experimental research part is included. The skeletal anatomy of the squirrel is described in detail, with photographic documentation of the arrangement of the male Sciurus vulgaris fuscoater skeleton in the anatomical position. My meticulously made illustrations depicting members of the Sciuridae family and selected features of squirrels, and necrophilic and necrophagous insects provide insight into this species and its characteristic traits.
Progressivism vs Modernity. What are Russian Traditional Values Opposed to?
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Ekaterinburg)., Davydov Dmitry
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to finding an answer to the question of what the Russian
traditional values affirmed in official documents are opposed to. It is substantiated that discourses
about traditional values can create the illusion of Russia’s desire for the archaic – to confront
Modernity itself. However, as shown in the article, the values presented as traditional Russian
(life, dignity, human rights and freedoms, patriotism, citizenship, service to the Fatherland and
responsibility for its fate, high moral ideals, strong family, etc.) are much closer to the basic
values of Modernity than the most trendy progressive and left-liberal values and ideologies in
the West, influencing identity politics. It is shown that in many Western countries Modernity,
which places emphasis on the “autonomous personality”, came to self-denial: the “expressive
individual” began to deny in general any obstacles to self-realization, including such basic values
of Modernity as the desire for objective truth, moral universalism, etc. Accordingly, attempts to
establish a set of traditional values can be seen as a resistance not so much to modernity itself
or its values that emphasize scientific and technological progress and political utopias, but to the
idea of the autonomous individual and its expressive individualism. Therefore, Russia may well
choose a path that will differ both from pure traditionalism and from “alternative Modernity”,
one way or another appealing to the idea of an autonomous individual.
Deconstructing Western Culture: Stuart Hall’s Approach to Critical Theory
Authors:   University College London, Platonov Arsenii
Published: December 2024

This article delves into the significant contributions of Stuart Hall to media and
cultural studies through a Marxist lens, emphasizing his innovative approach to the concept
of representation. Hall’s integration of critical theory with media studies has provided deep
insights into the dynamics of culture and power within society, highlighting the role of media
in shaping and reflecting social identities and struggles. The paper critically examines Hall’s
interdisciplinary application of neo-Marxist theories, notably those of Antonio Gramsci and
Louis Althusser, to analyze contemporary media landscapes. By exploring Hall’s critique of
authoritarian populism and his theories on cultural hegemony and ideological representation
in media, the article sheds light on the lasting impact of his work on current media practices.
The paper also assesses the practical implications of Hall’s theories in understanding the
mechanisms of inclusion and representation in media, suggesting their relevance in navigating
the complexities of global media today.
The Threefold Method of Studying Religion
Authors:   HSE University (Moscow), Zolotukhin Vsevolod
Published: December 2024

This paper is devoted to methodological way of research in religious studies, which
could unite three different methods: first, cognitive science of religion (CSR), second, Marxist
historical materialism, third, method of conceptual history. The CSR deals with data of social
and evolutionary psychology describing social processes primarily by means of natural sciences.
The Marxist approach, in its turn, points out specific human traits of social interaction. In this
context, the Marxism could analyze religion-state and church-state relations as a product of
complicated process of production, exchange, distribution and consumption of material goods
resp. as a product of class inequality and struggle. The conceptual history (in R. Koselleck’s
understanding) covers a particular but nevertheless important field of building the intellectual
(philosophical, political, theological) worldview which reversely influences the whole religious
community changing its cultural identity. Each method does not contradict others, however,
each of them explains different aspects of religious life. The CSR explains the stability of the
religious tradition, Marxism – its social roots and drive belts, while the history of concepts deals
with the worldview evolution of an intellectual upper class, which produces theologies. The paper
is provided with an example of applying the proposed synthesis to philosophy of religion of the
German Idealism.
On the Experience of Development and Implementation of the Course “History of Religions of Russia”
Authors:   HSE University (Moscow), Glebov Oleg
Published: December 2024

This article discusses the experience of developing an experimental general education
course History of Religions of Russia. The course is distinguished by the presence of the
developed problematics of traditional spiritual and moral values, organically integrated into the
practice of teaching an interdisciplinary subject at the intersection of the history of religion and
religious studies. The paper reveals the significance of the problematics of traditional spiritual
and moral values for Russian society; substantiates the necessity of theorizing the problematics
of values; describes the attitudes through which the program of the course History of Religions of
Russia was formed, as well as the problems encountered by the authors of the course during its
production. Within the framework of the article, the decisions taken to overcome methodological
problems associated with the introduction of the value aspect into the study of Russia’s religious
traditions are substantiated. As a result, the methodological experience gained during the
production of the course is extrapolated to the problematics of traditional spiritual and moral
values in the context of religion.

Emociones y pensamiento crítico en la era digital: un estudio con alumnado de formación inicial
Authors: Castellví Mata Jordi , Sabater Mariona Massip , I Blanch Joan Pagès
Published: December 2024

Studies on critical literacy are starting to get its way in social studies education research in Spain. Authors like Tosar & Santisteban (2016), and Ortega & Pagès (2017) agree on the importance of the approach of critical literacy to critical thinking education. It is also relevant to social studies didactics area, because it continues the research on social studies education based on Questions Socialement Vives (Legardez y Simmoneaux, 2006) and controversial issues, that have already been widely studied. In this context, the project “Enseñar y aprender a interpretar problemas y conflictos contemporáneos ¿Qué aportan las ciencias sociales a la formación de una ciudadanía global crítica?”, faces the impact of the emotion factor, that could condition critical thinking in certain situations, and it is especially relevant in the digital age with the rise of fake news. This brings us the question: How do emotions affect trainee teachers when it comes to use critical thinking when they read information on the Internet? The sample used are trainee teachers (n=326) from several Spanish universities:  University Jaume I from Castellón, Florida Universitaria from Valencia, University of Jaén, University of Málaga and Autonomous University of Barcelona. The results reveal that the online information that puts in tension the values of the students unleash emotional responses that suspend rational thought and critical thinking.
La clase de Historia y la problematización de la identidad nacional en Argentina
Authors: Remolcoy Sergio , Jara Miguel Ángel
Published: December 2024

The construction of a national identity responds to the interests determined by the State and the ruling class in each era. In the Argentine case, the national identity that has been built, largely during the 19th century, is due to the creation of one in opposition to others, such as those of the Original Peoples preexisting to the Argentine State. The data obtained from a questionnaire offer us an overview of what the students think about the subject based on the treatment the digital press makes. We are interested in knowing what the student learns from a multicultural classroom when the concept of nationalism is addressed and it is worked in relation to the migratory movements in our country. This line of research allows us to know what the student thinks about recent issues / problems, which can be studied if we want to generate meaningful learning about history. We understand that it is a good exercise to look for -as teachers and professors- those more powerful concepts, strategies and resources that allow us to orient the purposes to contribute to the construction of critical and historical thinking in the students.

Objective. To determine the influence of patient sorting done by nurses in primary care emergency services on care priorities and discharge referrals, both in general and in relation to the reasons for consultation.

Methods. Descriptive retrospective study. Variables were compared before and after the involvement of nurses in sorting patients in the primary care emergency services of the Granada Health District (Andalusia, Spain). 41,295 records were analyzed, 18,663 before and 22,632 two years after the inclusion of nurses. The reasons for consultation, priority levels, and types of discharge referral during the two study moments were compared.

Results. Regarding the reasons for consultation, it was observed that the percentages of malaise (p<0.001) and diseases of the genitourinary system (p<0.001) increased, while fever (p<0.001), among others, decreased. In the two-year measurement period after sorting done by nurses was implemented, type IV priorities increased in percentage (p<0.001) and type V priorities decreased (p<0.001). Discharges to home decreased (p<0.001), while family physician referrals increased (p<0.001).

Conclusion. The participation of nurses in the sorting of patients in primary care emergency services was related to significant changes in priority assignment, discharge referrals, and management of the reasons for consultation, showing an improvement in patient care autonomy and in the resolution of minor clinical problems in the emergency room.

Authors: Md Nor Norilyani , Abdul Majid Marina , Ab.Wahab Andika
Published: December 2024

Despite various initiatives taken by the government, Malaysia shows a trend of increasing migrant smuggling. Weaknesses in the border control management have resulted in the escape of smugglers at the border gate. Thus, this article aims to assess the potential application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology at the Malaysia-Thailand land border in enhancing border security. Based on a series of interviews with relevant ministries, enforcement agencies, technology experts, academic experts and other stakeholders, as well as secondary sources, this study found that AI technology has the potential to overcome issues pertaining to weak border control management faced by the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP), the main enforcement agency that manages the Malaysia-Thailand land border along with other enforcement agencies. Among the issues are a lack of enforcement, integrity concerns and limited manpower to control Malaysia’s porous borders. However, some strategies should be taken to adapt AI to our border security system. Thus, this article analyses the concept of Integrated Border Management (IBM) to obtain coordination and cooperation among all relevant authorities and countries involved in the adaptation of AI technology at the Malaysia-Thailand land border. This article also analyses how Malaysia should respond to the ethical implications of AI technology. This study will help promote a cross-border collaboration network between Malaysia and related foreign countries in dealing with migrant smuggling issues.

Published: December 2024

Public art is instrumental in enhancing tourism in Pekan Parit, Perak, by enriching the area cultural landscape. This study explores the multifaceted influence of public art on community perceptions, emotional responses, and its potential to attract tourists. We employed a mixed-methods design to collect data from 103 respondents through surveys, evaluating community attitudes towards public art and its role in fostering a cohesive community and boosting tourism. Key findings reveal that public art not only enhances Pekan Parit’s aesthetic appeal but also significantly influences both residents and visitors. However, community engagement is closely linked to the effectiveness of public art in attracting tourists, so artistic initiatives must resonate with both locals and tourists. This underscores the critical role of public art in reflecting and preserving the town's cultural identity while involving the community in the planning and execution of these projects. The research concludes that public art can be a powerful catalyst for sustainable tourism growth, facilitating deeper connections to the area’s cultural heritage and enhancing the overall visitor experience. These insights are essential for policymakers, urban planners, and cultural practitioners seeking to leverage public art as a strategic tool for revitalising tourism in Pekan Parit, Perak.

Environmental Health Risks and Well-being among the Orang Asli in Peninsular Malaysia: A Review
Authors: Wong Chin Yew
Published: December 2024

Orang Asli community has a significantly higher prevalence of parasitic infections than mainstream society in Peninsular Malaysia. These diseases appear to be most prevalent among isolated populations across Peninsular Malaysia. The aim of this review study was to better understand the environmental health risks that Orang Asli communities in remote forests face. In this study, a qualitative content analysis research design is used. The study conducts a detailed review of studies on physical environmental problems that have been associated to poor health outcomes and are anticipated to be prevalent among remote indigenous communities. The review findings of selected literatures indicate that the primary issues were parasite infection and drinking water tainted with heavy metals and germs. Water-borne infections and other infectious diseases have been epidemiologically linked to these environmental conditions. They are anecdotally high in remote indigenous communities. These issues are a little-known issue that could have a big influence on the health of the indigenous people; more research in this field would be very beneficial. It is critical to identify and measure these physical environmental elements, as well as to understand the mechanisms by which they influence health, especially since these factors are adjustable and can be repressed with relatively simple, cost-effective adjustments in community infrastructure. The review concludes with a proposed cooperative collaboration between indigenous communities and Malaysian mainstream society. As such, the strategy aids in the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals, which cover issues such as health and well-being, clean water and sanitation, and partnership.
Utilizing Social Return on Investment (SROI) as a Framework for Sustainable Social Investment: Insights from Flood Mitigation
Authors: Don Ramli Dona Raihana , Aiyub Kadaruddin , Yusoff Sarina
Published: December 2024

In recent years, the increasing scarcity of resources and rising demands have created substantial challenges for social investment, impacting both profit-oriented and nonprofit organizations. Stakeholders across this spectrum, ranging from for-profit enterprises to nonprofit organizations, striving to adapt to rapid economic changes, face obstacles in securing funding, primarily due to difficulties in demonstrating the value of their investments. This challenge is exacerbated by the weaknesses often associated with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, which can include a lack of measurable impact and insufficient alignment with stakeholder needs. Many CSR efforts often criticized for short-term focus and lack of measurable impact, contribute to skepticism among stakeholders regarding their effectiveness. Recognizing these challenges, there is a growing emphasis on sustainable investments that integrate social, economic and environmental returns. This article explores the concept of sustainability within the framework of the triple bottom line and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focusing on the Sungai Muda Flood Mitigation Program (SMFMP), Kedah involving quantitative data. Using Social Return on Investment (SROI) analysis, the study finds a positive social return of RM 4,892,641,540.00, meaning the program delivers RM 4.88 in social benefits for every ringgit invested, across social, economic and environmental elements. These findings underscore the SMFMP's potential as a valuable social investment, offering substantial benefits for individuals, communities and society. The study suggests that the SROI is a useful tool for stakeholders, including government bodies and CSR initiatives to integrate social and environmental values into economic decision-making.

On the applicability of the 06KHN28MDT steel to the production of pipes resistant to sodium hydroxide solutions
Authors:   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Abdulmanova R. R. , Tyusenkov A. S. ,   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Bugai D. E. ,   Ufa State Petroleum Technological University
Published: December 2024

Sodium hydroxide is a very aggressive medium; therefore, the equipment for its production is subject to intense corrosion. Most of the process pipelines of the Bashkir Soda Company JSC are made of the Nickel 201 alloy, which has low abrasive resistance. As a result, there are cases of equipment failures due to corrosion-erosion destruction. Since this alloy is expensive, it is a relevant problem to replace it with cheaper materials that are not inferior in corrosion resistance. This paper presents the results of studying the possibility of replacing the nickel alloy with the 06KhN28MDT austenitic steel. It is shown that this steel is not inferior in its corrosion resistance and a number of other characteristics to the Nickel 201 alloy. Thus, at room temperature, at a sodium hydroxide concentration of 50%, the corrosion rate of the 06KhN28MDT steel is one-third as high as that of the Nickel 201 alloy. With the increasing concentration of caustic soda, the difference in corrosion resistance between these materials decreases and disappears when it reaches 80%. It has been found that the hardness of the 06KhN28MDT steel is four times as high as that of the Nickel 201 alloy. The studies have proved that the 06KhN28MDT steel can be recommended to replace the expensive nickel alloy in the production of pipes in contact with sodium hydroxide solutions.

Reflexões pós-modernas sob uma perspectiva comparativista: Em liberdade e O Ano da morte de Ricardo Reis
Authors: Jacobsen de Oliveira Amanda Laís , Prestes de Oliveira Juliana
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho tem por objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa entre dois romances, um brasileiro e outro português, rastreando características do Pós-Modernismo. As obras escolhidas foram Em liberdade, de Silviano Santiago, e O ano da morte de Ricardo Reis, de José Saramago. A partir disso, intentamos investigar as obras referidas à luz do que Linda Hutcheon chama de metaficção historiográfica, pensando a relativização do discurso histórico (uma vez que esse é conhecido de forma já interpretada), a fragmentação do sujeito e as relações existentes entre a margem e o centro (tratando da posição do ex-cêntrico na sociedade), a construção da identidade do sujeito, a linguagem como objeto central de estudo e a formação de um leitor capaz de questionar e identificar as minúcias diante dos discursos que lhe são apresentados. Para isso, utilizamos como embasamento as reflexões teóricas de Linda Hutcheon, Tânia Pellegrini, Stuart Hall, David Harvey, Michel Foucault e Umberto Eco.
Justiça e Lei em "Infância", de Graciliano Ramos
Authors: Alvarenga Souza Bruno Henrique
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem por proposta investigar a formulação e funcionamento dos conceitos de Justiça e de Lei em Infância, de Graciliano Ramos. Entendendo que há no livro de memórias uma bifurcação fundamental que percorre os dois termos, buscamos compreender a postura ético-literária que ela evidencia na obra do escritor alagoano, mediante a colocação do texto em contato com a elaboração filosófica de alguns autores em torno da temática jurídica. Desse modo, tomaremos como interlocutores filósofos como Comte-Sponville, Nicola Abbagnano, Friedrich Nietzsche e Gilles Deleuze para explorar questões como a virtude da justiça, a violência da instância jurídica e a relação entre desejo e lei.
No espelho da linguagem, a elisão das diferenças: uma proposta de espelhamento entre os contos “A benfazeja” e “Sinhá secada”, de João Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Leal Fábio Antônio Dias
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho propõe-se a analisar as personagens Mula-Marmela, do conto “A benfazeja”, e Sinhá, do conto “Sinhá Secada”, que integram respectivamente as obras Primeiras estórias e Tutaméia: Terceiras estórias, do escritor mineiro João Guimarães Rosa, segundo uma proposta de alteridade: sugere-se um enfraquecimento dos limites constituintes das diferenças identitárias para uma melhor apreensão do indivíduo enquanto ser. Para tanto, propõe-se uma aproximação entre as diferentes personagens, para além das diferenças do enredo, que passa pela narrativa “Os irmãos Dagobé” e estende-se aos contos dos quais fazem parte as personagens, segundo uma ampliação do espelhamento sugerido por Consuelo Albergaria em sua obra Bruxo da linguagem no grande sertão. Consideradas as afinidades identitárias destacadas entre as personagens, a despeito de todas as diferenças contextuais, destaca-se a simbologia da cruz como símbolo máximo da exclusão. A análise se conclui com uma reflexão apoiada no pensamento de Octavio Paz, que discorre sobre os estreitos limites que separam o eu e o outro na constituição do ser, e, também, no pensamento de Henri Bergson, que questiona a separação sujeito/objeto para introduzir a ideia de uma continuidade universal e sugerir uma essência humana imperscrutável para além dos traços identitários, inclusive de gênero, como proposta de uma melhor apreensão do outro.

No entanto, o problema do sujeito na literatura contemporânea não pode ser refuzido à “morte” e à fragmentação do autor. Como é possível que se escreva poemas hoje? O poema pode funcionar como um código-aberto ou sempre demanda uma oclusão asfixiante?
Valor literário depois da teoria
Authors: Bellei Sérgio Luiz
Published: December 2024

O que conhecemos hoje como “teoria”, que não deve ser confundido com “teoria literária”, colocou em xeque conceitos e valores tradicionalmente entendidos em termos de um “senso comum” a ser aceito sem questionamentos. É o caso, por exemplo, dos conceitos de “autoria”, de “obra original”, de “cânone”, de “leitor” e de “valor estético”, entre outros. Entendida por parte da academia como uma crise destruidora de valores da tradição, a “teoria” teve um efeito positivo na medida em que motivou entendimentos e valorizações alternativas da literatura. O objetivo do presente trabalho é explicitar, de forma esque- mática, exemplos dessas releituras e revalorizações nas obras de Antoine Compagnon, Jacques Rancière, Jacques Derrida e Giorgio Agamben.
O “vazio sussurrante corpo” em A mais aberta, de Jonas Samudio.
Authors: Santos Teixeira Derick Davidson
Published: December 2024

O presente trabalho trata da primazia do corpo e da proposta de um corpo queer em A mais aberta, de Jonas Samudio. Partiremos da relação da literatura com a psicanálise, de modo mais essencial, de Roland Barthes e Jacques Lacan, com suas formulações sobre o gozo e o corpo, a fim de elucidar como essa poética, ao eleger o corte sintático e privilegiar a fenda entre dois usos possíveis da língua, faz emergir o corpo no âmbito da leitura. Ao analisar o estilo através do qual há a emergência do corpo, veremos, a partir de formulações teóricas de Paul Beatriz Preciado, que esse livro pode ser pensado como um corpo queer, dotado de uma ética e de uma proposta política singular.
Max Martins: da poesia como diário de outrem
Authors: De Aquino André Luís Valadares
Published: December 2024

A operação de leitura destaca a relação de Max Martins com a imagem, em sentido amplo, e com a imagem de si mesmo, em sentido especial, a partir de uma prática semiológica do seu texto, principalmente em diálogo com os textos de Roland Barthes. Nesse sentido, trabalho a hipótese de que Max Martins escreveu com Roland Barthes. Estudo que contempla os aparecimentos fantasmáticos do autor, a assimilação do retrato e o recurso ao diário na poesia.
Oswald e Mário
Authors: Barbosa Thiago de Melo
Published: December 2024

Partindo da revisão empreendida pelo poeta concreto Haroldo de Campos acerca da obra de Oswald de Andrade, o presente artigo analisa os momentos em que, dentro de tal processo de reabilitação do autor de Memórias Sentimentais de João Miramar, Haroldo, em conjunto com os outros poetas do concretismo, constrói um discurso crítico que converge para a ampliação da famosa querela do nosso modernismo: a “guerra” entre seus líderes, Oswald e Mário de Andrade. A ideia central é de que o poeta-crítico, repensando essa disputa, que até então vinha sendo vencida pelo autor do Macunaíma, intenta promover uma bifurcação na história da literatura brasileira. Com isso, discute-se a vinculação do embate Mario/Oswald a um projeto maior de revisão da tradição literária nacional, no qual a crítica concretista, e em especial a haroldiana, irá se engajar do início ao fim de sua atuação.
Still Bad Indians
Authors: Lumsden Stephanie
Published: December 2024

This essay on Deborah A. Miranda’s Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir, is a meditation on the significance of California Indian women’s stories of survival and resistance. I take inspiration from a few sections of Bad Indians in order to tell other California Indian stories. I respond to questions Miranda poses in her text with speculative narratives of history, stories about bears and salmon, and an old family story that leaves me with no easy way to feel. I argue that stories reassert California Indians’ presence on our homelands in spite of the ceaseless efforts of the state to remove us.

Comparison of Free Colon Flap versus Free Jejunum Flap in the Treatment of Xerostomia
Authors: Chen Hung , Chen Shih-Heng , Tang Yueh-Bih , Lin Katie
Published: December 2024

After radiation or multiple surgeries for oral cancers the patients may develop various degree of xerostomia. They have difficulty in swallowing and speech, also tend to develop inflammation of mucosa, dental caries and even trismus. When the xerostomia is mild, it can be treated with medication or just by frequent hydration with water. When the xerostomia is more severe surgical correction may be an option, namely using free jejunum or colon flap to provide lubrication. However, in the literature there was no comparison between free colon and free jejunum flap for surgical treatment of xerostomia.

Our hospital receives a large number of oral cancers due to consumption of betel nuts which causes 3000 new cases of oral cancers per year in our country. Among our patients 34 had xerostomia treated with surgery. For patients who had no family history of colon cancer and colonoscopy showed no abnormal findings, a free colon flap was selected for reconstruction of xerostomia. When the family history was not clear and the patients were old with polyps during previous colonoscopy, free jejunum flap was used.

Technically the free jejunum flap was harvested from the second portion of jejunum. For colon flap a segment was harvested from right colon. The postoperative results were compared regarding easiness of surgery, bacteria count of the flap, amount and quality of lubrication, comfort of the mouth (including flavor of secretion), requirement of secondary debulking procedures, complications of surgery, infection of lung during follow-ups, etc. The patients reported different responses to the spontaneous movement of jejunum flap inside the mouth. The bad smell of colon flap disappeared after 3 months. The results regarding subjective issue were obtained in the outpatient clinic with questionnaire using 5-point likert scale. The objective data such as requirement of secondary debulking procedures, complications of surgery, and infection of lung during follow-ups were analyzed.

Conclusion: In terms of quality of lubrication, both groups showed similar results. So far there are no patients who develop cancer from the flaps in either group, but jejunum flap seems to be a safer consideration for patients with long life expectancy.

Published: December 2024

La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha dado lugar a importantes cambios y demandas en el contexto educativo, que a su vez parecen haber afectado negativamente al bienestar psicológico de los/as estudiantes. Es objeto del presente estudio, de naturaleza descriptiva, analizar la afectación psicológica durante el confinamiento en una muestra de 167 estudiantes universitarios (M=21.28 años, DT=1.70) de la comunidad autónoma de Galicia. En concreto, se ha analizado la afectación psicológica experimentada por el estudiantado y su relación con factores sociodemográficos y académicos y los miedos más comunes asociados al coronavirus, utilizando para ello un Cuestionario de Datos Académicos y Sociodemográficos Básicos (ad hoc), la Escala de Miedos al Coronavirus y un Cuestionario de Manifestaciones (ad hoc). Los resultados sugieren un incremento significativo en la incidencia de manifestaciones cognitivas, emocionales, físicas y conductuales. Las demandas académicas elevadas y un alto miedo a la COVID-19, parecen actuar como factores de riesgo a la hora de experimentar estos síntomas. A la luz de los resultados obtenidos se valora la incidencia de los estereotipos de género en la afectación constatada, así como el posible papel de la falta de información e insuficiente coordinación en la programación de las tareas encomendadas a los/as estudiantes. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que se hace necesario realizar un seguimiento, e implementar medidas preventivas e intervenciones psicológicas y educativas orientadas a reducir los factores de riesgo asociados a los mismos.

"Young Hearts"/White Masks: Leading the (Color)blind at Shakespeare's Globe
Authors: Hyland Nicola
Published: December 2024

"Young Hearts"/White Masks: Leading the (Color)blind at Shakespeare's Globe" explores the paradoxes of color-blind casting by reviewing an unintentionally cross-cultural production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet performed at Shakespeare's Globe in London. An exploration of the language of the text examines connections with tribal tensions, the signifying presence of binaries, and the distinctive positioning of Romeo as a flawed outsider. The notion of a troubled black masculinity is identified through the representation of a desexualized relationship, revealing a continued anxiety about the performance of interracial romances. While a discussion of place explores the mimetic nature of performance as heightening cultural identities, this is challenged by the "happy hybridity" of Shakespeare's Globe, which uses race as a novelty. The production attempts to appear culturally integrated without engaging with the problems of racial politics. The analysis of this production reveals that the cultural identity of an actor cannot be made invisible and that race will continue to have political meanings in Shakespearean performance.
