Stigma of People with Autism: Analysis of Current Research Status in China and Future Outlook
Authors: Gao Hanzhao
Published: January 2025

Stigma is a persistent problem in society and culture, especially for individuals with autism who face significant stigmatization, which negatively impacts their life satisfaction and well-being. While early autism research focused on the diagnostic and treatment challenges of childhood, the increase in the age range of autism has led to a recent shift in research towards understanding the causes of autism. There is also a deeper understanding of the impact of autism, with social and mental health factors being brought into the focus of research. The impact of stigma on people with autism has been included as a key research focus. This research aims to discuss the impact of stigma on life satisfaction and well-being of Chinese autistic people. By analyzing the existing literature, this research summarizes the current state of research on stigma experienced by people with autism in China. It focuses on how stigma affects the mental health and social adjustment of autistic people, as well as the help of social support. This research not only reviews relevant theoretical studies, but also suggests possible directions for future research. In particular, it focuses on the influence of cultural context on the unique challenges faced by people with autism in China. This research also discusses interventions and recommendations to reduce stigmatization, aiming to build a foundation for future research to understand the Chinese autistic population.
Risk Control in Complex Supply Chain Networks Under Sudden Public Emergencies
Authors: Meng Hao
Published: January 2025

After the occurrence of sudden public emergencies, risks propagate throughout the entire supply chain network, triggering a domino effect. Therefore, determining appropriate strategies to intervene in and control risks, thereby blocking or mitigating their spread, becomes critically important. This study constructs a risk control model for complex supply chain networks under sudden public emergencies based on the SEIR system dynamics propagation model, incorporating risk immunization strategies and government participation in risk control. The proposed model adopts a target control approach to manage risk dissemination, and the effectiveness of this approach is verified through simulation experiments. The findings reveal that target control can effectively contain risk propagation, and enhancing the risk immunity of supply chain networks during sudden public emergencies significantly reduces the extent of risk diffusion while lowering the cost of government intervention.
Research on the Relationship Between the Integration of Industry and Finance and Enterprise Risk Management
Authors: Liu Zezhao
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the relationship between the integration of industry and finance and enterprise risk management in both theory and practice, so as to provide reference for enterprise managers, help them optimize the level of risk management and improve the efficiency of enterprise decision making.  In the process of globalization and the rapid development of information technology, enterprises are and continue to face more and more complex operational risks and financial risks, and the traditional financial management model is difficult to manage the related risks.  Through the integration of business and financial information, it can help enterprises to enhance their ability to identify and cope with risks, and enhance their market competitiveness, so as to ensure their sustainable development.  Based on literature review and empirical research, this paper finds that the integration of business and finance can significantly improve the speed of risk identification and processing efficiency of enterprises.  In view of the positive significance of the integration of business and finance to improve the level of risk management, corresponding suggestions are put forward to provide practical guidance for enterprises to improve the effectiveness of the integration of business and finance.
Identifying Depression Using Machine Learning
Authors: Lu Jiang
Published: January 2025

Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. However, accurately estimating the epidemiological factors that contribute to depression remains challenging. Deep learning algorithms can be used to assess the factors that contribute to the prevalence and clinical manifestations of depression. In this paper, five machine learning models, logistic regression, decision tree, random forest, SVM, and CatBoost, were used to assess depression in 5533 adult participants from the 2018 NHANES database. The results show that random forest is the best model for identifying depression, with the highest area under the working characteristic curve (AUC), followed by CatBoost and decision tree models. This suggests that using machine learning can accurately predict depression risk.
The Positive Impact of Digital Financial Inclusion on Household Consumption
Authors: Li Weiye
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the transformative role of Digital Financial Inclusion (DFI) in driving household consumption in China. By utilizing data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) and the Peking University Digital Financial Inclusion Index, the paper examines the mechanisms through which DFI alleviates liquidity constraints, expands financial access, and promotes economic participation. Key findings demonstrate that DFI significantly enhances household consumption, with notable heterogeneities across income levels and regions. Furthermore, the analysis highlights DFI’s role in poverty alleviation, reducing urban-rural divides, and facilitating entrepreneurial activities.
The Impact of Internet Slang on Social Power Structures: An Analysis Through Foucault's Theory
Authors: Nie Xinyi
Published: January 2025

Internet slang makes communication faster and easier. Many groups, especially the young use it frequently in online communication. With the development of internet slang, people can find that internet slang may become an effective tool for marginalized groups to promote their discourse power and the social power structures may be changed. This research examines the rise of internet slang and its effects on social power structures. Using Michel Foucault's theories of power and knowledge to analyze the relationship between internet slang and discourse power. It explores the rhetorical mechanisms of internet slang, particularly how language influences people’s emotions. Meanwhile, it also considers how social identities and authority are influenced by internet slang. By applying Foucault's theory, the paper explores these interactions in the context of power dynamics and the construction of knowledge. The findings are summarized in the conclusion, which offers perspectives for future research, solutions to study limitations, and emphasizes the significant role of internet slang in breaking the monopoly of discourse power that was controlled by authorities.

EVALUATION FOR NURSES IN KAP ANALYSIS FOR PALLIATIVE CARE PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE FACTOR
Authors: SATTAR H , ZARIF M , SHER N
Published: January 2025

Heart failure is a prevalent and debilitating condition, requiring effective palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life in terminal stages. Nurses play a critical role in delivering this care, but their knowledge, attitudes, and practices can influence outcomes significantly. Objective: To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of nurses working with palliative care patients with heart failure. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Nursing Department of Nishtar Hospital, Multan from April 2023 to April 2024. A total of 100 nurses working in the ICU and Cardiology department with heart failure patients admitted for palliative care were included in the study. Data was collected through questionnaires. Knowledge was assessed by the 30-item Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing, attitude regarding death was evaluated by a 32-item Death Attitude Profile and practice was assessed by 6-item perceptions of preparedness and ability to care for the dying (PPACD) R-I scale. Results: The mean knowledge score was 13.8 ± 2.55 with a satisfactory score in only 46% of participants. Only 29% were aware of symptom management in terminally ill patients. The mean attitude score was 133.6 ± 108.4 and the mean practice score was 16.2 ± 5.1. No significant association between knowledge scores and previous palliative care training was noted (r=0.1) but attitude scores were positively related to age and experience. The approach acceptance (r=0.292) and neutral acceptance (r=0.339) were significantly associated with practice. Conclusion: Nurses working in the palliative care unit possessed unsatisfactory knowledge, attitudes, and practices to manage patients with heart failure. Intervention programs and the inclusion of palliative care subjects in the curriculum can improve these results and avert the healthcare hazard.
THE ROLE OF THE INDIRECT PROOF METHOD IN THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS
Authors: Ayvazyan E. , Amiryan A.
Published: January 2025

The studies of the content of mathematical, and scientific and technical capacities, the objectives of the “Mathematics” subject, and the labor market requirements, as defined by the new state standards for the RA general education, show that the current emphasis is mainly on the development of students’ logical thinking and proving ability, which is its most important component, as well as the skills to apply this ability in the related fields.

Based on the above mentioned, the compliance of the current situation with the normative standard documents has been studied.

The studies have shown that the methodology of teaching indirect proofs in the learning process requires significant improvement, which is essential for recognizing, modeling, analyzing, and making reasoned conclusions about phenomena in environment, society, culture, and various work sectors, which is considered a standard requirement.

The contradiction between the state standard requirements as well as those of the labor market and internship sets the basis for reviewing and developing a methodology of teaching indirect methods of proving mathematical assertions, as well as a system of corresponding problems, which should fill in the relevant gap.

The paper presents the features of the formation of students’ proof skills, which are the most important component of logical thinking, the methods of proving mathematical statements, as well as raising the shortcomings of the textbooks and teaching methods of the general education subject “Mathematics” aiming at forming and applying logical thinking.
Ecosystems of Survival
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: January 2025

Absolute control of space was a major imperative for the killers during the genocide. Landscapes and their ecosystems were major players during the extermination. In the heart of a topography without refuge, the children were forced to immerse themselves in swamp water, to place themselves under the precarious protection of sorghum stalks, and to cohabit with dangerous animals. In children’s stories, social and cultural relationships with the familiar and the wild were turned upside down.
“We Went Back to Our Ruins”
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: January 2025

In addition to the immense losses suffered by families, there was total material devastation, as property belonging to the Tutsis was also wiped out from hills and neighborhoods. Back on the hills that have become foreign to them, the children recount this landscape of devastation. For others, the danger was prolonged when they were taken on their exodus to the Congo by the families of the killers who have reduced them to domestic slavery.
Escaping from the “Teeth of the Mockers”
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: January 2025

In post-genocide Rwanda, the threat continues to hang over the survivors. This is the story of a dangerous cohabitation that the orphans tell, far from the idealized portrait of immediate national reconciliation and generalized forgiveness. Beyond a more complex vision of national reconciliation, the orphans’ stories allow us to analyze the profound sense of asymmetry felt by children deprived of everything who face the families of killers on a daily basis.
“My Hobbled Life”
Authors: Dumas Hélène
Published: January 2025

How to express the despair of so many losses? How to express the suffering endured or witnessed? In Rwanda, mental health became a major issue after the genocide. In their own words, the young survivors recount what such an experience has done to their bodies and psyches. They describe their painful attempts to slip into a forever “hobbled life.” Through their stories, it is possible to follow the history of mental health issues in post-genocide Rwanda.
Toppling Pocahontas
Authors: Savage Kirk
Published: January 2025

To become a heroine in the white imagination, a public monument as well as a popular symbol, Pocahontas had to lose her life, literally and figuratively. The cult of Pocahontas spread in the early nineteenth century as the policy of Indian removal took hold. Conscripted into whiteness, Pocahontas and her heroism went hand in hand with the delegitimizing of indigeneity perpetrated by white settler colonialism.
I Am Queen Mary , Copenhagen
Authors: Doss Erika
Published: January 2025

This chapter discusses the monumental public sculpture I Am Queen Mary, designed by artists Jeannette Ehlers and La Vaughn Belle and erected in March 2018 outside the former West Indian Warehouse in Copenhagen. A tribute to Mary Thomas, a sugar cane worker on the Caribbean island of St. Croix and one of several women who in 1878 led the largest labor revolt in Danish colonial history, the sculpture echoes the 1967 photograph of Black Panther Party co-founder Huey Newton and similarly speaks to Black power and determination. Visualizing a history of dissent and resistance led by Black women, I Am Queen Mary amends Denmark’s commemoration of mostly White male figures and interrogates the country’s complicity in the transatlantic slave trade.
“The Power of Growth Is in Relationship”
Authors: Kasten Carey , Moore Brenna
Published: January 2025

Chapter 1 establishes the historical context and foundational principles of the Little Sisters of the Assumption, a French order of nuns that was formed in the late nineteenth century to serve the health needs of the poor. It tells the story of how a group of six French nuns made their way to New York City’s Lower East Side and, by 1958, transformed their ministry into a social justice, community health non-profit in East Harlem. The chapter draws from Little Sister of the Assumption archival material and oral histories with religious sisters, and historical records of East Harlem with a focus on the origins of the theme of “mutuality.”
Lucy Looks Twice
Authors: Costello Damian
Published: January 2025

This chapter presents the life of Lucy Looks Twice, an Oglala Lakota lay Catholic woman, and her role in shaping the legacy of her father, the Lakota holy man and Catholic catechist made famous by the book Black Elk Speaks. As an ethnographic informant, Looks Twice actively shaped the content of her interviews and played a key role in filling in the details of Black Elk’s Catholic life. In the process, she helped correct the tendency to pit his work to revitalize Lakota tradition against his Catholic ministry. This chapter argues that Looks Twice’s work stems from the heightened spiritual agency of Lakota laywomen within Catholic communities during the early reservation and concludes that without her work, it is unlikely that Black Elk’s cause for sainthood would have occurred.
Catholic Laywomen’s Natural Family Planning across Three Generations
Authors: Dugan Katherine
Published: January 2025

The story of Humanae Vitae in American Catholic history is often told as clerical authority trumping lay experience. Histories of this document’s reception emphasize that the vast majority of Catholic women simply ignored the papal teaching against contraception and filled their prescriptions for the birth control pill. However, there is also an under-told history of lay Catholic women who have embraced the teachings and ideologies of Humanae Vitae; they practice what has become known as Natural Family Planning (NFP). This chapter tells part of that history. These women create and maintain a strong network of women teaching other women how to track their cycles, pay attention to mucus patterns, and foster intimacy with their spouses outside of sexual contact. This chapter examines the brief, but dense, history of that network through three generations of laywomen’s work within NFP. Taken together, their lives illustrate the creative ways laywomen navigate within and around both cultural and Catholic commitments as they manage family planning in light of Humanae Vitae.
From Grailville to the Universe
Authors: Ronan Marian
Published: January 2025

In March 1940, two women, Lydwine van Kersbergen and Joan Overboss, brought the Dutch Catholic laywomen’s group, later known as the Grail Movement, to the United States. Founded to utilize laywomen’s gifts in the church’s struggle with modernity, the group, by 1962, had engaged fourteen thousand women in Grail programs across the US. Playing a pivotal role in this development was Grailville, the Grail’s organic farm and education center in rural Ohio where women were inspired to lead Grail communities not only in the US, but eventually, in nineteen countries around the world. These women went on to found schools, hospitals, and women’s centers nationally and internationally. Their stories and that of Grailville are at the very heart of U.S. Catholic laywomen’s history.
Laywomen Enacting the Mystical Body
Authors: Yocum Sandra
Published: January 2025

This essay focuses on the generative impact of the twentieth-century ecclesial image, the Mystical Body of Christ, coupled with the papally sanctioned Catholic Action on Catholic laywomen. Using the lens of “spatial stories” as described in Michel de Certeau’s The Practice of Everyday Life, the essay first considers how US. Catholic intellectual leaders among the ordained discussed Mystical Body ecclesiology and its relation to Catholic Action and then turns to examine how it was enacted in the lives of four lay Catholic women: Dr. Eva Ross, white, Irish immigrant, and sociologist; Dorothy Day, white, convert, and co-founder of Catholic Worker; Helen Caldwell Day, African American, convert, and founder of an interracial Catholic Worker House in Memphis; and Mary Daly, white, Catholic theologian, and post-Christian radical feminist philosopher. The concluding section explores possible reasons for the eclipse of the Mystical Body metaphor in the 1960s writings of two other lay Catholic women, Sally Cunneen, white, Catholic; and public intellectual and Sydney Callahan, white, convert, and psychologist.
Unionism and Emancipation on the Home Front and Battlefield
Authors: Delahanty Ian
Published: January 2025

This chapter examines how Irish Americans in the loyal states responded to the antislavery thrust of the Union war effort from 1862 to 1863. Convinced that emancipation would lead to competition for jobs between themselves and freed people, working-class Irish Americans increasingly lashed out against Black communities across the North between the summer of 1862 and the summer of 1863. Exacerbated by the prospect of being drafted into the Union army, Irish-American laborers’ angst over emancipation culminated in July 1863 with the New York City draft riots. Yet most Irish-American soldiers dismissed the draft rioters’ grievances, arguing that conscription and emancipation were necessary measures for the prosecution of the Union war effort. Some Irish-American soldiers also sought positions in newly formed Black regiments. As the war continued, events on both sides of the Atlantic in 1863, including food shortages in and an uptick in emigration from Ireland and increased organizing among Irish nationalists, reinforced Irish-American soldiers’ belief that a robust American republic held a singular importance to the Irish.
Flannery O'Connor's Manhattan
Authors: Laborde Katheryn Krotzer
Published: January 2025

In Flannery O’Connor’s Manhattan, the mid-century fiction writer’s relationship with, and connections to, New York City are discussed, explored, considered and, at times, interpreted. Because O’Connor lived the last fourteen years of her life (years that comprised the bulk of her adulthood) with her mother on the Andalusia farm in rural Milledgeville, Georgia, this aspect of her life is rarely delved into. The book starts with a preface that describes the author’s physical, intellectual, and emotional journey to find the Manhattan that mattered to O’Connor. This is followed by an introduction that reviews O’Connor’s life and introduces the main sources used: five personal address books, dating from about 1945, when O’Connor was enrolled in the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop, to her death in 1964. Following that, the book’s subject matter is considered in two parts. Part I, New York City, delves into the times O’Connor either lived in or visited Manhattan, with her first recorded trip taking place in 1943 and the final in 1958. Part II, The Listings, presents and defines the people and businesses (particularly in the publishing industry) recorded in the address books. Because information about the famous among these is easy to obtain, less is written about them, while longer explorations are given to the unknown, the less-famous, and the forgotten. Finally, as so many of these people and places are connected, readers are provided indications (“see entry”) when a person or place mentioned is covered elsewhere in the book.
A Good Man Is Hard to Find
Authors: Laborde Katheryn Krotzer
Published: January 2025

In 1955, O’Connor’s short story collection, A Good Man is Hard to Find, was published by Harcourt, Brace. To promote the new book, O’Connor flew to New York to appear on Galley Proof, a brand-new television show about books. This chapter describes the events of O’Connor’s week in New York, which include meeting editor Catharine Carver, having dinner with Galley Proof’s host Harvey Breit, spending time with correspondent Fred Darsey, seeing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and attending a party hosted by novelist Caroline Gordon.
Lourdes Bound
Authors: Laborde Katheryn Krotzer
Published: January 2025

For many Catholics, the year 1958 was made special by the centennial anniversary of the Lourdes, France miracle: a series of visits to a local peasant girl by the Virgin Mary, culminating in the appearance of a spring on the spot where the apparitions took place. When affluent and Catholic relative Katie Semmes became convinced that a trip to Lourdes would help O’Connor’s failing health, she saw to it that O’Connor (accompanied by her mother, Regina Cline O’Connor) crossed the Atlantic to bathe in the supposedly curative waters. The O’Connors left Georgia in April 1958 with a local pilgrimage group whose first stop was an overnight stay in New York. This chapter gives details from their brief time in town, during which O’Connor visited her agent, Elizabeth McKee, and her new publishers, Farrar, Straus & Cudahy. She and her mother also spent time with Margaret Sutton, Lydia A. Bancroft, and Caroline Gordon. This trip would prove to be O’Connor’s last visit to New York.
O through Z
Authors: Laborde Katheryn Krotzer
Published: January 2025

The chapter contains information on the people and businesses, O through Z, recorded in the five address books. This includes Tatham House, a women’s residence where O’Connor stayed briefly in 1949; W. G. Rogers of the Associated Press; Ann Orr, a metalworker and enamellist; Barbara Charlene Wiggins Prescott, a Wesleyan poet who was responsible for introducing O’Connor and Maryat Lee; and Priscilla Poor, a former debutante and, for a time, actress who made O’Connor’s acquaintance in the late 1940s.
Hodos and Odos (Homeric Hospitality 1)
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This chapter looks at the question of hospitality in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, texts that, it is argued, are important for any thinking of hospitality in the Western tradition, even though Derrida himself does not treat them in his seminar. The chapter follows the theme of the threshold (odos) in Homer’s two epic poems, a theme that is central both to Homer and to Derrida’s treatment of the theme of hospitality. It is argued that, for both Homer and Derrida, everything begins and ends on the threshold, that is, with a perpetual return to the threshold from which every act of hospitality begins and ends.
Masters of the House: Hospitality and Sovereignty
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This chapter looks at the close relationship in Western thought between hospitality and the ability or power of the master or sovereign to offer hospitality. Using the etymologies of Emile Benveniste, Derrida points out that the word hospitality is comprised of two terms, hosti-pets, the second of which is related to the power of the father of the family or the sovereign of the state, whose power and authority is maintained and confirmed by control over who is allowed to cross over the threshold of the house or the border of the country. The chapter underscores Derrida’s claim that the very notion of identity depends upon this conception of sovereignty and sovereign power.
But Why So Much Kant?
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This chapter attempts to address a potential objection that readers might have to Derrida’s thinking of hospitality in terms of the two kinds of hospitality outlined above. For it could easily seem that by opposing a conditional to an unconditional hospitality, that is, an economic, limited, conditioned, hospitality to an aneconomic, unlimited, pure, absolute, or unconditional one, Derrida is in essence opposing a bad, Kantian hospitality (such as it is found in “Perpetual Peace”) to a good, Levinasian hospitality (as we find in Totality and Infinity). But this chapter shows that instead of thinking of the Kantian logic behind the conditional hospitality of “Perpetual Peace” as a necessary evil, Derrida in fact finds a certain salutary prudence behind Kant’s law-oriented hospitality. Indeed, without laws of this kind, hospitality risks becoming the worst and most dangerous of relations, the “love” of unconditional or unconditioned hospitality becoming a xenophobic hatred of the other. This chapter shows Derrida’s insistence on the kind of laws and compacts between peoples and nation-states that we find in Kant’s “Perpetual Peace.”
On Cosmopolitanism and Cities of Refuge
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This chapter takes up a very late session in the first year of Derrida’s hospitality seminar in which Derrida explains his interest in and contribution to a new “cosmopolitan” project establishing “cities of refuge” throughout the world to help address the problem of political asylum for intellectuals and writers persecuted in their home countries. While the arguments for this new thinking of cosmopolitanism have been available for some time now in the volume On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness, this chapter puts Derrida’s contribution to the “cities of refuge” project into the larger context of the seminar on hospitality, which is the place it was first developed and presented. We thus see Derrida trying to rethink and expand Kant “cosmopolitan” project of “Perpetual Peace” by combining it with both a Biblical and Medieval tradition of “cities of refuge.”
Beyond Anthropo-Hospitality: Plants, Animals, Gods, and Clones
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: January 2025

This chapter addresses Derrida’s questioning throughout his two-year seminar on hospitality of the limitation of hospitality, in Kant and others, to the human. The chapter thus takes up the question of whether it makes sense to offer hospitality to beings others than humans, namely, to animals, plants, gods (in part through the work of Charles Malamoud), and, at the end of the chapter, clones. This latter topic arises somewhat unexpectedly at the end of the seminar’s second year because of the announcement in the spring of 1997 that the first mammal ever to have been cloned (a sheep named Dolly) had been born some months earlier in Scotland. Derrida thus analyzes the fears and phantasms in France and elsewhere related to this birth, and he rethinks the question of replaceability and irreplaceability—and particularly for ethical reasons—with this recent technology of cloning in view.
Coda
Authors: Hudson Renee
Published: January 2025

Drawing on the work of José Esteban Muñoz and Lázaro Lima’s work exploring the potential of a Latinx commons, the conclusion explores the commons as both affect and genre as well as the queering and the language of the Latinx commons. To do so, Hudson briefly examines Karla Cornejo Villavicencio’s The Undocumented Americans (2020), the republication of Juan Felipe Herrera’s Akrílica (2022), and Joseph Cassara’s The House of impossible Beauties (2018), focusing on the House of Xtravaganza in the ballroom scene from 1976–1993, to sketch out the challenges to and potential of a Latinx commons.
The War In-Between
Authors: Kozol Wendy
Published: January 2025

Against the fabric of suffering that unfolds around more spectacular injuries and deaths, The War In-Between studies visual depictions of the routine and often inscrutable aspects of militarized violence. Visual artifacts ranging from photographs and video to needlework, craft projects, and data visualizations provide different vantage points on militarism, whether it is the banality of everyday violence for non-combatants or the daily struggles of soldiers living with physical and emotional trauma. Three interrelated concepts frame The War In-Between. First, the concept of the in-between attends to those interstitial spaces of war where violence and survival persist side-by-side. Second, this analysis expands the concept of indexicality to consider how images of the in-between rely on a range of indexical traces to produce alternative visualities about survival and endurance. Third, the book develops an asymptotic approach that explores the value of getting close to war in-between’s diverse experiences, even if the horizon line of experience is always just out of reach. Exploring the capaciousness of survival reveals that there is more to feel and engage in war images than just mangled bodies, collapsing buildings, desperation, and industrialized death. The War In-Between offers not a better truth about war but an accounting of visualities that arise at the otherwise unthinkable junction of conflict and survival.
Effect of Denture Base Material on The Stresses Induced on Implant Supporting Mandibular Bar - retained Over-denture
Authors: Mohamed El Maroush
Published: January 2025

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of heat cured acrylic resin denture base and glass fiber reinforced denture base on stresses induced on mandibular implant overdenture supporting structures by bar attachment using strain gauge analysis. Mandibular overdenture supported by a rigid interconnecting bar retained attachment connecting the two implants was constructed. According to the denture base material, mandibular overdentures were classified into Group I: Mandibular implant- supported overdenture was constructed using heat cured acrylic resin. Group II: Mandibular implant- supported overdenture was constructed using fiber reinforced acrylic resin. Two strain gauges were installed at the distal aspects of the implant to record the strain induced by anterior, unilateral and bilateral posterior loading of each overdenture using universal testing machine. Data was collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed. The result of this study showed that the highest stresses on the implant were recorded for the conventional heat cured acrylic denture base, and the difference was found to be statistically significant P<0.05 for both anterior and unilateral load. Within the limitation of this in vitro study, the use of fiber reinforced acrylic resin denture base material for implant supported overdenture leads to better stress distribution to the implant supporting bar attachment.

INTRAPERSONAL CONFLICTS OF MAIN CHARACTERS IN THE TESTAMENTS BY MARGARET ATWOOD: KURT LEWIN CONFLICT APPROACH
Authors: Gupta Anubha , Singh Dr. Balkar
Published: January 2025

This study examines the intrapersonal conflicts experienced by the main characters in Margaret Atwood's novel, The Testaments, through the lens of Kurt Lewin’s conflict theory. Focusing on the psychological struggles faced by Agnes, Nichole and Aunt Lydia, the research addresses three primary questions: First, “How are the characters and their characterizations depicted?” The second, “What is the main intrapersonal conflict do they undergo?” and the third, “How do they resolve those conflicts?” The analysis aims to reveal the transformation in characterization and the nature of the psychological conflicts that the main characters experience. By closely analyzing the characters’ internal conflicts and their development throughout the narrative, this study utilizes qualitative methods, including descriptive theory and data collection techniques such as detailed scene analysis and script notation. The research documents the psychological changes in the characters, demonstrating their evolution from their initial portrayals to more complex and nuanced personas. The study applies Kurt Lewin’s conflict theory to categorize and understand the types of intrapersonal conflicts the characters face, including approach-approach, approachavoidance, and avoidance-avoidance conflicts. Through the application of Lewin’s theory, the study highlights how the characters in The Testaments navigate their internal struggles, showcasing their growth and changes in character and characterization. The findings reveal that the main characters majorly experience approach-avoidance conflict that significantly impact their development.
EMPOWERMENT AND EDUCATION OF WOMEN IN CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE
Authors: Sunitha Epuri
Published: January 2025

History is full of courageous women. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation. "A woman is the full circle, within her is the power to create, nature and transform" - Diane Mariechild. Women education is very important for the development of a country. Women play a vital role in the all progress of a country. Without educating the women of the country we can't hope for a developed country. Women empowerment is the act of giving women equal rights and opportunities in society, many great leaders throughout history were women who fought for equality and freedom. Literature can't be the business of women's life. Literature as a tool of self-expression and self-identification is a powerful tool of empowerment of women internally as well as in other external spheres. The major contribution of women to literature has been their exploration of societal standards, pioneer of such is Jane Austen whose works repeatedly explored the standards set for women, typically being marriage and gentility.
BEYOND WORDS: ETHICAL REFLECTIONS IN THEATRICAL TRANSLATION
Authors: Maharana Dr Dipti Ranjan , Sharma Gourika
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the intricate challenges of translating modern Hindi drama into English, emphasizing the translator’s ethical responsibilities and cultural sensitivity. Drama, as a genre, intertwines textual and performative elements, making its translation particularly complex. This paper focuses on Mohan Rakesh's Aadhe Adhure and Bhisham Sahni's Madhavi to examine how translators navigate the balance between fidelity to the source text and adaptation to the target language and culture. The study employs theoretical frameworks from Rita Kothari, Mona Baker, Lawrence Venuti, and Anthony Pym to analyze the translator’s role. Kothari’s emphasis on cultural integrity, Baker’s focus on the translator as a cultural mediator, Venuti’s concepts of foreignization and domestication, and Pym’s stress on cross-cultural communication provide valuable perspectives. These frameworks illuminate the ethical dilemmas in maintaining cultural and emotional authenticity while engaging new audiences. Through theoretical analysis and practical case studies, the paper underscores the significance of the translator’s voice in bridging cultural divides and ensuring that translations retain the essence of the original. It contributes to the discourse on translation ethics and offers insights for translators working within the rich, complex world of modern Hindi drama.

Background: Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder and involves multiple organs, intellectual disability and epilepsy. Mutations in TSC1 and TSC2 genes are responsible for the molecular disease mechanism. Objective: The aim is to determine molecular background of a patient with a suspicion of TSC. Case presentation: In this case report, we describe a seven year old patient with the clinical manifestation of TSC that includes supratentorial changes, subependymal hamartomas and angifibromas in the facial area. Besides the brain and skin changes, no other TSC characteristics were observed. The patient was referred to molecular genetic testing using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Results: Clinical exome sequencing revealed intronic TSC2 c.4849+2T>G variant. The variant was confirmed using Sanger sequencing on the subject. However, the variant was not detected in the parents, which indicated that it arose de-novo. The RegSNP-intron, Mutation Taster and Human Splicing Finder were used as a bioinformatic tools to predict the possible effect on protein. Using bioinformatic tools, it was determined that the variant is possibly damaging to protein. Conclusion: This data suggest that observed splicing intronic variant could be the cause of TSC in this pediatric patient.

Published: January 2025

Multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH) is a rare pulmonary manifestation of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Based on thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings, this pulmonary condition was suspected in a 50-year-old patient who presented without respiratory symptoms. The diagnosis was supported by the presence of characteristic ground-glass nodules and strong multi-systemic extra-thoracic features suggestive of tuberous sclerosis complex. MMPH is a recently described entity characterized by benign hamartomatous proliferation of type II pneumocytes with no malignant potential. Imaging plays a crucial role in both the positive and differential diagnosis. Histological examination was not performed in this case, underscoring the efficacy of diagnostic imaging as a reliable tool for diagnosis. The aim of this report is to enhance the existing knowledge surrounding MMPH and its association with TSC, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers in the field.
Migration, Mobilität und Geschlecht in den Komödien des Plautus
Authors: Rühl Meike
Published: January 2025

Migration ist ein wiederkehrendes Thema in den Komödien des Plautus: Viele Figuren haben im Laufe ihrer Biographie, die in den Stücken erzählt oder angedeutet wird, ihren Wohnort gewechselt. Neben den vielen in die Sklaverei verkauften Personen zeigt sich dies vor allem an den Figuren der Fremden, die im Laufe eines Stücks eintreffen und für weitere Komplikationen innerhalb der Handlung sorgen. In diesem Beitrag wird anhand der Rolle des "Fremden" (peregrinus) untersucht, warum diese Figur in den Komödien des Plautus so häufig vorkommt, welche Funktion sie übernimmt und wie sich anhand dieser Figur die Strukturierung der Gesellschaft bei Plautus in Bezug auf Mobilität und Migration untersuchen lässt.
Le due Giulie: continuità ed evoluzione della loro azione politica
Authors: Cenerini Francesca
Published: January 2025

La storia personale e la vicenda politica di Giulia Maggiore e di Giulia Minore, rispettivamente figlia e nipote dell’imperatore Augusto, riflette la stessa contraddizione che è all’origine della creazione dell’impero. Il principato, regime fondamentalmente autocratico, viene presentato da Augusto alla pubblica opinione come un ritorno alla repubblica. Parimenti in età augustea, la propaganda e la legislazione insistono sui valori legati alla maternità e al ruolo domestico delle donne. Invece, le donne, a partire proprio da quelle che appartengono alla domus imperiale, assumono un ruolo politico sempre più rilevante che le fonti letterarie tendono a oscurare, relegandolo ai soliti stereotipi associati a un uso improprio della sessualità. Emblematica di questa realtà è la narrazione delle vicende umane e politiche, oltre che delle due Giulie, di Claudia Livia Giulia e di Valeria Messalina, rispettivamente nuora di Tiberio e moglie di Claudio.
The Tomb of Tarpeia
Authors: Neel Jaclyn
Published: January 2025

Ancient sources suggest that Tarpeia, a historical-mythological figure whose date varied between the Romulean period and the Gallic Wars, had a tomb on the Capitoline Hill; however, these sources have not been seen as credible by modern scholarship. This article contextualizes Dionysius of Halicarnassus’ discussion of Tarpeia’s tomb in both the Roman Antiquities and modern studies of Roman religion, and suggests the manner in which honors would have been paid to her.
« Rentre en toi-même et vois ». Puissances néoplatoniciennes de la retraite intérieure
Authors: Baudroux Martin
Published: January 2025

De Socrate retiré sous le porche des voisins (Le Banquet) à la valorisation de la maxime « vis caché » dans le néoplatonisme grec, le thème du retour à soi gagne en puissance. L’Alcibiade de Platon répondait à l’injonction « connais-toi toi-même » ; au iiie siècle, Plotin la recodifie : « rentre en toi-même et vois ». On a cherché à voir là une désertion de la politique (une « dépolitisation ») et ainsi un effet de structures sociales de plus en plus oppressantes.Le but de cet article est double : montrer, d’abord, que la retraite intérieure fait découvrir un « soi-même » d’une autre nature que le moi et plus puissant que lui. Ensuite que, loin d’être une introspection, elle ne consiste pas non plus en une capitulation. Il faut comprendre la retraite intérieure comme une politique psychique par laquelle on se dote de la puissance, négative, de rompre notre dépendance au pouvoir.
A black Spinoza – notes sur l’autobiographie de Malcolm X
Authors: Brossat Alain
Published: January 2025

This article is about the paradoxical relationship of Malcolm X to Western philosophy. Throughout his Autobiography, Malcolm appears not only as an activist, as a revolutionary or revolutionist, but as some sort of a street (plebeian) philosopher assiduous in problematizing his own trajectory, his experience, his ordeals and his metamorphosis – a typically philosophical gesture. He refers to the Western philosophy he has become familiar with in prison, but he has to reinvent it completely so that he can make it its own, part of his « dream ». Therefore, he fantasizes about an « Oriental Socrates », a « Black Spinoza ». Philosophy is made of many more things than just academics, books and seminars. This is what Malcolm’s appropriation/hybridization of Western philosophy shows.
La visione a venire
Authors: Pavan Michele
Published: January 2025

This paper investigates Lucretius and Spinoza’s materialism like a perspective oriented on the problem of the event. The first part, in particular, is dedicated to the discussion of the physical and ethical aspects of the Lucretian concept of clinamen, intended as the expression of an event that breaks the continuity of the uniform rectilinear motion of matter. The last part attempts to trace, within the Lucretian theory of simulacra, a path of emancipation of our ability to imagine, on the model of the theory of knowledge formulated by Spinoza in Ethics. The aim is to outline an idea of vision as an event in which the viewer takes shape together with what he sees.
