The Neuroscience of Epigenetics: Understanding the Inheritance of PTSD and Generational Trauma
Authors: Mbarki Kayan Munim
Published: December 2024

Intergenerational trauma is the trauma that our ancestors have endured in their lives, and it can affect the mental health, behavior, and emotional regulation of future generations through DNA methylation and mechanisms without changing the DNA sequence itself. In this study, we explore how experiencing trauma can lead to changes in our DNA, affecting regions of the brain known to be involved in post-traumatic stress disorder (or PTSD) — such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex. These modifications might result in a higher risk of PTSD and psychological problems for future children. Research done on animals and other groups, such as the children of the Holocaust survivors, illustrates how traumas can have a long-lasting impact on stress responses.

Although trauma does not cause permanent changes in your genetics, it can powerfully impact the regulation of stress-related genes. By understanding epigenetic patterns and addressing trauma-related modifications, one can begin the process of healing and prevent further transmission of these effects to future generations. The findings in this research highlight the important role played by epigenetics in understanding and ultimately breaking the cycle of generational trauma.

Authors: Santi Kurnia , Irwandani  , Habib Muhammad Iqbal Nur
Published: December 2024

This research aims to assess the communication and collaboration skills of Muslim students, with a specific focus on gender-related, especially, women’s perspectives. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative measurements for analyzing students' communication and collaboration skills with qualitative methods, including observations and in-depth interviews, to gain insights into the influence of gender and Islamic understanding on these skills. The study findings revealed that, within the context of Islamic education, women tend to demonstrate stronger verbal communication skills, while men excel in nonverbal communication and collaboration. Essential factors contributing to effective communication and collaboration skills include adherence to communication norms, the use of polite language, and a keen awareness of Islamic social conventions. Additionally, differences in gender roles within Muslim societies were identified as influential in shaping communication patterns and collaboration dynamics. To promote inclusivity and respect for diversity, Islamic higher education institutions should strive to create an environment where both men and women can freely exchange ideas, thoughts, and knowledge without constraints. By advancing gender equality, Islamic higher education can contribute to the development of capable future leaders, uphold Islamic values, and contribute to the establishment of a just and sustainable society.

Sala de aula de atuação e a noção grotowskiana de contato
Authors: Motta Lima Tatiana
Published: December 2024

Nesse ensaio, busca-se refletir como, em um ‘trabalho colaborativo no tempo’, determinadas tradições teatrais têm a possibilidade de nos convidar a experimentar outros modos de viver, diversos daqueles – neoliberais - que nos estão adoecendo. Desenvolve-se essa reflexão apresentando algumas pesquisas realizadas em sala de aula de atuação e em laboratórios, com ênfase na noção grotowskiana de ‘contato’. Essa noção, vivenciada como uma ‘palavra praticada’, investigada e inventada em processos de ensino/aprendizagem, oferece uma espécie de antídoto ao “modo indivíduo neoliberal”, permitindo que se refaçam vínculos e se experienciem de maneira corporificada modos de convivência, de coexistência e de co-particip-ação nos fluxos de vida.
Acting classroom and the Grotowskian notion of contact
Authors: Motta Lima Tatiana
Published: December 2024

In this essay, we seek to reflect on how, in “collaborative work over time”, certain traditions of theatre are able to invite us to experience other ways of living, distinct from those - neoliberal ones - that are making us sick. This reflection is developed through the presentation of some research developed in the acting classroom and laboratories, with an emphasis on the Grotowskian notion of “contact”. This notion, experienced as a “practiced word” and investigated and (re)invented in teaching/learning processes, offers a kind of antidote to the “neoliberal individual way of being”, enabling the reestablishment of ties and the embodied experience of ways of co-living, coexistence, and co-particip-a(c)tion in the flows of life.
Old expectations, new challenges
Authors: Dias da Cruz Leite Martha
Published: December 2024

The article reflects on the impacts of the crisis of authority in the theatrical training field, using Hannah Arendt's theorizations on the phenomenon of authority and her studies on modernity. After more than fifty years since the philosopher’s considerations on the crisis of authority in the educational field, contemporary events, such as the expansion of access to information through digital channels and the appreciation of the diversity of perspectives promoted by identity agendas, add new and important layers of complexity to this debate. The theatrical training field, in turn, is not immune to the effects of this wider political crisis, since it permeates all spheres of human life. Although this article does not claim to offer immediate answers or solutions to the multiple challenges that affect the daily life of teachers, it does contextualize some of the crossroads to which the pedagogical field is subjected, especially with regard to higher education. Faced with the situation that has arisen, the text resorts to dialogue with the philosophy of education to understand the theatrical pedagogical experience, arguing in favor of adopting a critical stance in relation to beliefs and assumptions that are sometimes considered untouchable in theater pedagogy, and the importance of re-evaluating the maintenance of recurring expectations imposed on theatrical pedagogical practice.

Authors: Pânişoară Georgeta , Ghiță Cristina , Lazăr Iulia , Făt Silvia
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate possible differences in the formation and development of personality traits for children with various language disorders and children who do not have language disorders from a neuropsychological perspective. The child's personality is a psychological and social construct with strong implications on how to relate it to the surrounding individuals and brain function. During childhood, the individual manifests a variety of typologies of behavior and attitudes depending on the context in which they are, so personality traits are formed as a result of existing interactions and the family and educational context. In the case of children with different language disorders, the personality must be structured in a more secure and stable emotional environment, leading to the development of adaptation capacities to the external environment and an increase in stress resistance. Emotions and moods play a significant role in the development of personality traits. In this sense, we have started the research that aims to analyze the personality traits of children with speech difficulties and those who do not have these difficulties. The participants in this study are 60 children aged 7-12 years old from urban areas. The method used is represented by the HiPIC - Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (I Mervielde and Filip de Fruyt), a psychological tool for assessing the personality of children aged 6 to 13 and is based on the established Big Five model. The inventory is a personality HiPIC contains 144 items and allows the evaluation of the emotional, interpersonal, motivational and behavioral style of children based on the five dimensions of personality. Parametric statistical methods were used to identify possible differences between the two groups of participants in research. Also factor loadings and correlations between factors as results of exploratory factor analyses were evaluated. The study outputs confirms existing differences in the development of certain personality traits, the specificity being given by the situations experienced in the educational environment, the family environment and in the context of the process of recovering and improving the language disorders.

All groups performed standing long jump for three sessions; each session consisted of 5 attempts of 2. After last session of acquisition, the posttest was conducted. After one week of untrained, the retention test was conducted. The results of descriptive statistics showed that the standing long jump performance of all groups improved from training period to retention test. The results of one-way analysis of variance showed that there was no significant difference between three groups in pretest and acquisition stage. However, this difference was significant in post-test and retention stage.

Neurological development is a complex process in which the nervous system reaches its fullness in adulthood stage. This development begins before birth, continues in both the last months of gestation and in the first months after birth, in response to a continuous remodeling due to the ability of nerve cells to eliminate excess components through apoptosis. One of the most important and ambitious objectives of developmental neurology is the early identification of those at risk for the development of subsequent disabilities: an early rehabilitation intervention can improve the quality of their life. The most important long-term outcome of periventricular leukomalacia is represented by spastic diplegia, which is also the most frequent motor deficit associated with prematurity. This high incidence seems to be due to the specific localization of the lesion involving the cortico-medullary bundles descending from the motor areas assigned to the movement of the lower limbs. In the presence of larger lesions, which also involve the semi-oval center, tetraparesis can be found accompanied by severe alteration of the intellectual function. The follow-up of the high-risk child and newborn is now established in the most developed countries. Physiotherapy is a relatively recent therapeutic modality in the Intensive Care Units and is performed through different techniques, with the aim of reducing respiratory work, maintaining airway viability and improving ventilation and gas exchange, improving neurosensory skills. A sensitive period for performing an intervention with a set schedule is from birth to 24 months of correct age. The program is tailored to the child and his family. An intervention program must promote the neurobehavioral development of the child, the quality of the organization and of the relational, sensorial, motor and cognitive skills and their integration, with the aim of an adequate development, without the pretension of modifying or accelerating its natural learning.

Background: Since 1999 the Romanian health insurance system shifts to aBismarckmodel where primary care is provided by family medicine physicians, in private practices, under contract with local insurance houses. Family doctors are supposed to have a Gatekeeping role, ensuring that patients see specialists only for conditions that could not be managed at this level and are referred to an appropriate specialist. Aims: To explore the opinions of the family doctors on the interventions needed for a better management of the psychiatric cases.  Method: A survey was conducted among 43 family doctors fromGalaticounty (Romania). Results and Discussion: Despite a formal gatekeeping role, Romanian family doctors do not have a pivotal role in coordinating psychiatric care. Direct access to a specialist is possible for certain pathologies and there is evidence of overuse of ambulance services, hospital services and outpatient care setting bypassing primary care. Conclusion: Rather than focusing on the “gatekeeping” we should focus on more collaborative work between family doctors and psychiatrists with patients. An improved communication and cooperation between the family doctor and the psychiatrist plays an essential role for proper care processes and thus the overall quality of care for the psychiatric patient.

The demand for electricity is constantly increasing in the world and in our republic. In order to meet this demand, it is necessary to develop new energy sources, as well as to develop existing electricity sources and networks to the level of modern requirements, and to apply new technologies [1]. Since the production, transmission and distribution of electric energy covers a large fıeld of technology, it is necessary to use automation, remote control and digital technologies to provide electricity consumers with uninterrupted and quality electric energy. Recently, the prospects of using mainly renewable energy sources make it necessary to build smart networks - Smart Grid in this field. The application of this system in electric networks collects accurate information about the production and consumption of electric energy, processes it and, as a result, makes the right decision in management. The application of new technologies is important to improve the economic efficiency of the energy system, increasing reliability and efficiency, and finally maintain the stability of the energy system.

The article shows the prospect of replacing electrical insulating materials with new technological materials in commutation devices. In particular, porcelain insulation, used for more than a century, has been reported to slow the development of switching devices. To replace this material, it is recommended to use a glass fiber reinforced epoxy compound. The specific gravity of this material is low, the electrical strength is sufficient. However, if you do not pay due attention to production technology, its electrical strength will decrease significantly. The article provides analysis of the relationship between the design of an insulator and the value of its surface resistance, and also shows the advantages of an insulator with internal ribs.

Enterprises today want real-time, consistent, connected, and trusted data to support their critical business operations and insights. Any delay in the availability of data can harm businesses. Ever-expanding data volumes, new governance requirements, data silos across clouds and on-premises, etc., can cause enterprises to slow down on their data strategy and create business challenges. Therefore, data storage and protection systems remain critical to managing IT infrastructure.

In July 2022, the SODA Foundation, in partnership with Linux Foundation Research, launched a worldwide survey to understand evolving data and storage trends. This report uses survey data to guide end users and vendors on important issues, helps them be better equipped to make decisions, improve their products, and assists the SODA Foundation in establishing new technical directions.

Much of the world is rebounding from the economically crippling lockdowns of COVID-19, and hiring people with the right skills is proving to be a challenge. Nowhere is this more true than in the technology sector. The talent gap that existed before the pandemic has worsened due to an acceleration of cloud-native adoption as remote work has gone mainstream. With talent shortages around the globe, training existing staff has become even more important to meet the needs of migrations to the cloud and leverage open source technologies tied to those migrations.

To shed light on these changes and challenges, the Linux Foundation, once again, teamed up with edX to produce our 9th annual Open Source Jobs Report. The 2021 report provides actionable insights on the state of open source talent that employers can use to inform their hiring, training, and diversity awareness efforts. It also provides IT professionals with clear, unbiased insights on which skills are most marketable and how reskilling and certifications benefit job seekers as a differentiator in the hiring process.
