Elizabeth's Journey: Transformation of Trauma
Authors: Krumpane Erika
Published: November 2024

In her article, "Elizabeth's Journey: Transformation of Trauma," the author describes the psychotherapeutic process of a woman with a family history which included multiple traumatic circumstances including  alcohol use disorder, abandonment and more. The patient, with a history of treament for thyroid cancer which included surgery and chemotherapy, reported feeling depressed after childbirth when she had to remain at home alone with her baby for a substantial period. The author notes that the client had experienced early trauma in the mother-child relationship and psychological and physical abandonment. She suffered from insecure attachment, etc. During the course of 2 years of therapy, the client created 15 sandplay scenes. The client's process presented a journey of transformation of the negative mother complex and more consciously the patient was aware that the relationship with her father still needed work. Termination was successful in the context of a positive psychotherapeutic relationship and the client went on to continue to engage with life affirming experiences outside therapeutic container.

Pilgrimage: Inner and Outer Journeys: Portals to the Numinous in Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Zappacosta Judy D.
Published: November 2024

This article represents a proceeding from the Sandplay Therapists of America National Conference, 2022. Judy Zappacosta, plenary speaker, discussed inner landscapes, as understood by Jung that include many aspects seen in both sandplay therapy and analytical psychology. The author explores the ancient act of pilgrimage, and showed how it became mirrored in the sandplay therapy of a man with great shyness, shame, and insecurity. In his sandplay therapy process the client confronted his fears and terrors, as well as generational trauma. His time in therapy included a symbolic cross-country journey that became his pilgrimage for discovering his life in new ways and developing ego-strength.
Myth Salon With Dyane Sherwood: The Prescient Themes of the Splensor Solis
Authors: Adams Kate
Published: November 2024

This reflection summarizes the main points of two online presentations given by Dyane Sherwood for the Myth Salon on the alchemical illuminated manuscript, the Splendor Solis. Sherwood based her presentations on the book she co-authored with Joseph Henderson entitled "Transformation of the Psyche: The Symbolic Alchemy of the Splendor Solis." The 22 richly painted pictures in this volume show in symbolic form the inner process of psychic transformation. In addition to illustrating the process of individuation as described by Jung, these medieval alchemists were also concerned with elevating nature and the human body, and emphasizing the position of the feminine as equal to the masculine.

The Power of the White Bear: Anima and Initiation as Seen in the Sandplay of Three Men
Authors: Ainsworth Takako J.
Published: November 2024

The author discusses the significance of the white bear in various cultures, including mythology and fairy tales. She reflects on the use of the polar bear figurine in the initial sandplay scenes created by three men. Each of these clients struggled with depression, isolation, complicated relationships with their mothers, and relationship issues with their women partners due to their negative mother complex. In therapy, these clients seemed to have expressed themselves and worked through their emotional struggles. She suggests that the white bear's (polar bear miniature) appearance in these clients' sandplay scenes may have indicated the beginning of an initiation process and the need to integrate feminine energies or the anima.

Toni Wolff and C. G. Jung: A Collaboration, by Nan Savage Healy
Authors: Driscoll Regina
Published: November 2024

Dr. Driscoll reviews and reflects on Toni Wolff & C. G. Jung: A Collaborationby Nan Savage Healy (Tiberius Press, 2017). She quotes Fordham who said no one "can understand Jung without Toni Wolff." Dr. Driscoll concludes, "The consensus is that without Toni Wolff Jungian psychology would be a much less complete and substantial thing than it is today and there is an unpaid debt owed to her. Part of this perhaps is due to her own retiring nature which did not seek recognition but a substantial part is due to a culture that dismisses women and to Carl Jung himself."
The Language of the Hands: About the Pre-Symbolic Space of Sandplay Therapy
Authors: Carvalho Hartmann Ignez
Published: November 2024

The author, Dr. Ignez Carvalho Hartmann, underscores that sandplay images are an expression of the connection between body and psyche. They are valuable instruments for the diagnosis and therapy of psychic and psychosomatic illnesses in clinical and educational contexts. The hands are creative mediators of the implicit memory from the preverbal phase. The observation of synchronous hand movements and facial expressions, i.e., the "language of the hands," offers a new window to the understanding of the pre-symbolic level and offers new ways in sandplay therapy research. Children are still very close to experiencing the pre-verbal phase of life. As depicted fantasies, sandplay images resemble a "scenic condensate" (Bürgin, 2000), in which pre-verbal and pre-symbolic experiences crystallize through archaic, pictorial and metaphorical thinking. Traces of memory are often represented in the sand as a condensed expression of the pre-symbolic level of their history. Taking the pre-ego phase into account leads to a deeper understanding of symptoms. By expanding the symbolism to include the pre and perinatal phase in the intersubjective field of the sand tray, a new space of interpretation is created. The sensorimotor experience with the sand in the three-dimensionality of the sand tray activates implicitly stored preverbal episodes such as birth traumas that become visible as sand images. This article presents an example of a premature six-year-old girl's expressions including sandplay images by which communicable memory traces of previous traumas can be understood.
Examining the Level of Development in Relation to Gender Deprivation and Empowerment (In Iranian Provinces during 2009 and 2019)
Authors: Najafi Mehdi , Mohebi Mohammad , Negahdari Ebrahim
Published: November 2024

The concept of human development emphasizes qualitative aspects over the mere quantitative aspects of growth. The core of this concept is that development must go beyond increasing income and wealth. In the framework of human development, women’s participation in economic, social, and political life, as well as eliminating gender inequalities, holds significant importance. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the levels of human and geographical development with the degree of deprivation and empowerment in gender-related indices. The research methodology is based on a documentary-statistical approach. The data sources include the results of the 2006 and 2016 censuses. The statistical population of this study encompasses all provinces of the country, analyzed comprehensively based on the census results of 2006 and 2016. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software (version 19) and EViews software. The findings indicate that the indices constituting the levels of development in Iranian provinces (human development levels, distance from and proximity to Tehran, population density [human capital], and the type of geographical settlements [urban and rural areas]) have a positive and significant relationship with the degree of gender-related deprivation and empowerment. Additionally, the indices representing the levels of development in Iranian provinces can explain the variance in the degree of gender-related deprivation and empowerment.

Authors: Sir Fatemeh , Safari Mahmoud , Hosseini Seyed Rasool
Published: November 2024

The present study aims to propose a learning model in elementary education with an entrepreneurial approach. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in nature. Data collection was conducted quantitatively using a questionnaire as the data collection tool. After the execution of the questionnaire, data analysis was performed through both descriptive and inferential methods using SPSS 16 and Smart PLS software. In this research, descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage frequency, frequency distribution tables, and chart plotting, were utilized to describe the characteristics of the questionnaire respondents. The results revealed that the component of entrepreneurial educational factors, the component of entrepreneurial organizational factors, the component of extra-organizational entrepreneurial factors, the component of individual factors, and finally, the component of entrepreneurial management factors were all retained in the analysis because none of the components had a factor loading below 0.3. Consequently, all five components, along with their respective indicators, were accepted as dimensions and components of the learning model in elementary education with an entrepreneurial approach. The fit indices in the factor analysis confirmed the model's overall fit.

Detrás de las noticias, la construcción de la agenda de ciencia y salud en Argentina
Authors: Farré María Cecilia
Published: November 2024

Los cambios que se dieron a nivel global en los modelos de negocios de los medios de comunicación y la evolución de los distintos usos de Internet impactaron en el quehacer periodístico tanto a nivel de las rutinas y prácticas como en las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores de prensa. La facilidad del acceso a gran cantidad de información de todo tipo -desde estudios científicos, acontecimientos en cualquier lugar del mundo, hasta las llamadas noticias falsas- está acompañada por un aumento de la velocidad en la difusión. A este proceso se le suma el recorte del staff permanente de las redacciones a nivel global y nacional sumado a bajos salarios, pluriempleo y la presión de productividad que viven los periodistas. La comunicación sobre los avances de la ciencia; de enfermedades emergentes; de los efectos de fenómenos naturales y de los cambios ambientales que causa el ser humano, entre otras cuestiones, cumple una función democratizadora. Bajo esta premisa y ante la situación descripta, el trabajo analiza la construcción de la agenda periodística de ciencia y salud en Argentina y su relación con las condiciones laborales de los periodistas y la capacidad de influencia de las fuentes interesadas en ese proceso.

Pengamanan data dalam era digital menjadi semakin penting dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan untuk melindungi informasi sensitif. Penelitian ini mengimplementasikan algoritma Hill Cipher yang dimodifikasi dengan operasi modulo pada karakter ASCII untuk memperluas cakupan aplikasi metode kriptografi ini. Hill Cipher, yang secara klasik menggunakan alfabet dengan operasi modulo 26, dibatasi hanya pada huruf-huruf alfabet. Modifikasi yang diusulkan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan operasi modulo 256, yang mencakup seluruh karakter ASCII (0–255), termasuk huruf, angka, simbol, dan karakter khusus. Penelitian ini menggunakan matriks kunci berukuran 2 x 2 yang memastikan keamanan melalui perhitungan determinan yang tidak nol dan coprime dengan 256. Proses enkripsi dilakukan dengan mengalikan vektor yang mewakili nilai ASCII dari plaintext dengan matriks kunci, diikuti oleh operasi modulo 256 untuk memastikan hasilnya berada dalam rentang karakter ASCII yang valid. Hasil enkripsi berupa ciphertext kemudian dideskripsi dengan invers matriks kunci yang diperoleh melalui operasi invers modulo 256. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa Hill Cipher yang dimodifikasi dapat diterapkan secara efektif untuk pengamanan data modern berbasis teks, menghasilkan ciphertext yang aman dan plaintext yang dapat didekripsi dengan akurat.

Artificial intelligence is a transformative technology in education, yet there is a gap in research addressing how to overcome the challenges it presents, including resistance to change and insufficient infrastructure. This study seeks to examine the applications of Artificial intelligence in education, identifying both the obstacles and opportunities to enhance its integration into the educational system. The paper aimed to research the reality of using artificial intelligence among university students, a questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 30 students from Jerash University in Jordan. The results showed that the main challenges lie in students' weak response to new technologies, the lack of awareness about the importance of artificial intelligence among faculty members, and the shortage of technical support. In this context, the study proposed solutions such as motivating faculty members to use artificial intelligence, organising training workshops, improving infrastructure, and providing technical support to ensure the effective integration of Artificial intelligence in education
How does the university achieve gender equality in education? An applied study
Authors: Aldabahi Humaid
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Gender equality in education is a critical issue that plays a significant role in achieving sustainable development by providing equal learning opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender. The aim of this study was to examine the importance of gender equality in education through a survey administered to a sample of 70 students. The research gap lies in the limited studies addressing the effectiveness of legal policies and the cultural and social challenges that impact gender equality in education in the UAE. The findings indicate that the UAE has made considerable progress in promoting gender equality in education, with an average score of 3.37, reflecting a moderate level of achievement. However, the results also revealed that legal reforms aimed at promoting gender equality still require improvement, as the statement regarding legal policies received the lowest score (2.90). The main challenges identified were cultural attitudes towards girls' education, with proposed solutions focusing on expanding educational initiatives in remote areas. Additionally, significant gender differences in education were observed, highlighting the need for further efforts to ensure equal educational opportunities.
Assessing the impact of SEL programs on language proficiency and student well-being in English classes
Authors: Subhi Maryam
Published: November 2024

The present study tests language proficiency and a sense of student well-being through the addition of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) programmes in English classes. This research study narrows its focus to secondary school English Language Learners (ELLs). An intervention was conducted over 12 weeks using a culturally adapted SEL framework, namely Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies (PATHS), with 60 students preferably from closely related cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Results indicate significant gains in both linguistic and socio-emotional outcomes. The quantitative results showed notable language improvement, including a 20% gain in speaking fluency and a reduction in incoherent writing and listening comprehension difficulties. Improved socio-emotional functioning manifested as enhancements in self-awareness and relationship skills, measured by the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment (DESSA). The focus group discussions provided qualitative insights, revealing deeper confidence and reduced anxiety in task performance in English. Students created a supportive class environment where they encouraged each other’s participation and language learning. Challenges noted include the development of culturally responsive SEL tools and the need for enhanced teacher training that integrates SEL practices in multilingual classroom settings. The findings demonstrate that SEL can help ELLs overcome not only language-related issues but also a range of socio-emotional challenges. These results have significant implications for educators and policymakers aiming to create inclusive, culturally responsive classrooms that support equitable outcomes for diverse learners.
Teachers’ perceptions of AI tools in enhancing student engagement for English language learning
Authors: Zainuddin Mohammad
Published: November 2024

This work seeks to explore the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in improving engagement with English language learning through the perception of teachers (Luckin et al., 2016). The study identifies four key dimensions associated with the use of AI: a motivational tool, personalised learning, practical limitations, and positioning as a supplementary rather than a replacement teaching resource. Teachers identified that AI can provide an interactive gamified experience and real-time feedback, which motivates the students and enables personalised learning. Yet, disparity in technological access, over-reliance on AI, and the need for serious professional development were also highlighted. The findings suggest that with AI tools greatly enhancing engagement, their integration should be carefully balanced with traditional instructional methods to meet holistic learning (Adolphs et al., 2018). The study has key implications for policymakers and educators on bridgeable digital divides, targeted teacher training, and incentivising sustainable, balanced adoption of AI. This study fills in the gaps in current literature by incorporating teacher insights into how AI can be used to effectively engage diverse learners in English language contexts while addressing pragmatic and pedagogic challenges. These findings will inform future development initiatives of AI-driven educational strategies.
Efecto del ayuno de horario restringido como herramienta para resincronizar la regulación circadiana de la homeostasis energética
Authors: Valdés-Quiroz Daniela , García-Luna Cinthia , de Gortari Patricia
Published: November 2024

La globalización ha provocado que la ingestión de alimentos no esté alineada al ciclo de luz natural diario ni al período de actividad de los humanos. Comer alimentos fuera de horario, altera la sincronía entre las sensaciones de hambre y saciedad con los procesos metabólicos y fisiológicos que permiten almacenar energía durante el día (actividad) y degradarlos en la noche (descanso). En el hipotálamo se encuentra el centro regulador de los sistemas circadianos (SC), el núcleo supraquiasmático (NSQ), cuyas neuronas son sensibles a la luz y son capaces de sincronizar cada 24 horas la actividad de relojes moleculares que a su vez controlan los SC en otros tejidos (aparato digestivo, hígado, páncreas, tejido adiposo, entre otros) activando la transcripción de diversos genes reguladores de procesos metabólicos, humorales y conductuales. La disrupción de dicha coordinación entre procesos metabólicos y los SC puede desarrollar padecimientos crónicos como diabetes, hipertensión, obesidad y síndrome metabólico. Una nueva herramienta implementada para restablecer la coordinación entre los SC y la expresión de genes que regulan los procesos metabólicos, la liberación y concentración de hormonas a lo largo del día, es el ayuno de horario restringido, el cual es un tipo de ayuno intermitente, que consiste en la oferta de alimento en un mismo horario limitándose su consumo a una ventana de 6 a 12 horas o menos todos los días. En esta revisión se analizan los beneficios de la utilización del ayuno de horario restringido sobre la sincronización de los SC afectados por ingerir alimentos fuera de las fases de actividad, por consumir dietas altas en grasa o por acortar las fases de sueño.

Authors: Leite Jr Ademir Carvalho
Published: November 2024

This article proposes a reflection on the potential of philosophy as a form of therapy for hair problems. By exploring the ideas of philosophers such as Plato, Epictetus, Seneca, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger, Viktor Frankl, Rubem Alves, and Byung-Chul Han, we seek to understand how philosophical knowledge can contribute to a deeper understanding of the suffering associated with hair health. Philosophy, which offers us different perspectives on human existence, can be an integrative practice that helps not only in understanding the psychological factors involved but also in the pursuit of a life that values health and balance. This study proposes a careful analysis of philosophers' thoughts and their concepts that can be applied to understanding the psychological and emotional aspects that influence hair health.

Published: November 2024

Esse trabalho de conclusão de curso tem como tema a hipertensão arterial sistêmica idiopática em cães. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura mediante pesquisa bibliográfica de abordagem qualitativa e descritiva, elencou-se que a hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é uma condição clínica cada vez mais reconhecida na medicina veterinária, especialmente em cães, e pode ter consequências graves para a saúde do animal se não for diagnosticada e tratada adequadamente. A forma idiopática de hipertensão arterial, que não está associada a uma condição subjacente identificável, é rara, mas ainda assim representa um desafio diagnóstico e terapêutico importante. Nessa condição, a pressão arterial elevada ocorre sem uma causa primária evidente, como doenças renais, endócrinas ou cardíacas, o que torna o diagnóstico um processo mais complexo. Dessa forma, como objetivo principal, esse estudo buscou analisar, por meio de um estudo de caso, o processo de anamnese e diagnóstico da Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica Idiopática em cães. Frente ao exposto, concluiu-se que a prevenção da hipertensão arterial sistêmica em cães envolve uma combinação de monitoramento regular, controle das condições de saúde subjacentes, mudanças no estilo de vida e a educação contínua dos tutores. Com essas medidas, é possível não só reduzir o risco de hipertensão, mas também melhorar a qualidade de vida dos cães, prevenindo complicações graves e promovendo um envelhecimento saudável, e a atuação precoce e a abordagem integrada entre o veterinário e os tutores são essenciais para garantir o bem-estar dos animais afetados pela hipertensão.

O tabagismo durante a gravidez já é considerado problema de saúde pública, e a causa de teratogenia. A nicotina, substância viciante incluída nos cigarros, é agente causador de malformações do feto, baixo peso ao nascer, deficiência cognitiva, entre outros. Diante disso, o presente estudo tem a finalidade de pontuar as principais consequências que o uso dessa substância pode causar para o feto e analisar os estudos clínicos em que houve a intervenção terapêutica no uso de nicotina durante a gravidez. As estratégias de intervenções encontradas, a partir dos artigos selecionados, foram a terapia de substituição de nicotina e o cigarro eletrônico, ambos os métodos se mostraram positivos para diminuição do tabagismo durante a gravidez. No entanto, destaca-se a importância da cessação do uso de nicotina pelas grávidas visto que há vários malefícios para o feto pela facilidade de influenciar no desenvolvimento fetal; e da discussão sobre o assunto ao longo do cuidado pré-natal.
