The Intersections and Invisibilities of Rurality, Houselessness, and Health
Authors: Graham Jan Marie , Jones Candy , Lam Michelle , Stone Grace
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the qualitative research study was to identify factors and challenges that led to insecure housing among rural residents in Manitoba, Canada. Using a case study approach, five participants and two key informants were interviewed. When the participants were asked about personal factors and challenges affecting housing insecurity in rural Manitoba, their responses were focused on past and current health issues. Health, including acute and chronic conditions, became the critical intersection of housing insecurity and rurality. Systemic barriers such as invisibility, stigma, and lack of access to healthcare services in the rural setting created additional challenges for participants who required assistance and support to obtain and maintain stable housing. Integration of and collaboration among health, housing, and social service providers and informal supports in the rural community are required to address housing insecurity. Rural communities tend to be unique, therefore, strategies and interventions to diminish or prevent houselessness need to be flexible, targeted, and community-specific.
German Demonstrative Pronouns in Contrast
Authors: Cokal Derya , Von Heusinger Klaus
Published: July 2024

German has two demonstrative pronouns: the der, die, das paradigm and the dieser, diese, dies(es) paradigm. Previous studies mainly compared the anaphoric use of der with the personal pronoun er and observed that der refers to less prominent antecedents. However, there are only very few studies that have investigated the differences between these two demonstrative pronouns. We hypothesize that they differ in signaling topic persistence and in accessing contrastive antecedents. We tested these hypotheses in short texts that manipulated the contrast of the antecedent by inducing the expression ‘in contrast to’ vs. ‘together with’ (e.g., the cellist in contrast to the flautist vs. the cellist together with the flautist). Results from our eye-tracking reading Experiment (Experiment 1), in which participants’ eye- movements were monitored while reading sentences, show that (i) readers preferred dieser when referring to the topic of a sentence, and (ii) dieser caused less processing difficulties than der in both contrast and no-contrast contexts. Our sentence completion Experiment (Experiment 2) also confirmed that der and dieser are both used for anaphoric reference to a topical antecedent. Collectively, our experiments provide evidence that dieser functions as inducing topic persistence. These results suggest that there is a need for further experimental investigation into the semantic factors and informational structures influencing the usage of demonstrative pronouns in German.
Second Chances: Exploring the Philippine Alternative Learning System
Authors: Alvarez Abel, Jr.
Published: July 2024

Education for all has been a campaign of education advocates over the years. But despite having various education initiatives and programs that promote inclusivity, there are still learners who have left the traditional teaching and learning environment. In the Philippines, the Alternative Learning System (ALS), which is considered to be a parallel learning program, serves as a bridge for those who are unable to attend the formal education system due to various circumstances. Hence, this paper aims to deeply understand the reasons behind students’ dropping out of formal education. Additionally, using a qualitative case study research design, this attempts to examine the authentic experiences of out-of-school youths and adults that led them leave the four corners of classroom. Interestingly, the results of this study revealed that ALS students left the formal education system due to problems with family, personal conflicts, financial concerns, and accessibility concerns. Nevertheless, the narratives shared by the participants served as a way of deeply understanding the root cause that impedes their learning journey as they navigate the path of alternative education.

Does the Internal Control System Play a Strong Safeguarding Role Against Fraud in Local Communities?
Authors: Marko  Špiler  , Snežana Knežević  , Milojević Stefan , Marko Slavković  , Aleksandra  Mitrović  , Vladimir Šebek
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the application of appropriate mechanisms and procedures for identifying, reducing, and suppressing fraud. Challenges and obstacles faced by municipalities in the implementation of internal controls for the prevention of fraud are also discussed. A survey was conducted in various Belgrade municipalities, and 162 usable responses were received. It was observed that there is a lack of internal control or that, where it exists, it is not sufficient to effectively manage fraud. Further, the results of the study indicate that only one element of fraud risk management, the level of education of employees, is significant in reducing fraud incidents. Namely, the education and training of employees contribute the most to fraud detection. The implications of these findings are discussed. Through the analysis of the relevant literature and research, this paper offers recommendations for improving internal control in local municipalities in order to reduce the risk of fraud and to increase responsibility in the management of public resources.

Authors: Cao Junrui , Sui Daliang , Luo Shen , Chen Ziyang , Li Jiakang
Published: July 2024

In order to enhance the effectiveness of social governance and accelerate economic development, this paper explores the role of diversified and inclusive policies introduced by local governments in service innovation and competitive performance, as well as their impact on improving local governance. From the perspective of social governance, several hypotheses are proposed, including: what role inclusive policies play in service innovation and competitive performance; Has diversification policy improved service innovation and competitive performance; Can the government's diversified and inclusive policies improve the social governance environment and enhance binding laws and regulations; Can service innovation and competitive performance provide conditions for social governance. The analysis results indicate that diversified and inclusive policies can effectively improve service innovation and competitive performance, and directly affect social governance. Inclusive and diverse policies can significantly improve service innovation and competitive performance, and drive them towards a positive direction. Service innovation and competitive performance are good conditions for social governance, providing support for the improvement of relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, the government should introduce diversified and inclusive policies to promote the development of service innovation and competitive performance, create a good external environment for social governance, and promote the improvement of relevant laws and regulations.
Dual Systems of Urban Villages: Autonomy and Informal Governance Mechanisms of Yuan Village in Guangzhou
Authors: LIAO Liao , Shi Chunyu , Xu Lin , Gu Zheng
Published: July 2024

Implementing demolition and transformation policies in urban villages is essential for effective urban governance. However, these villages possess distinctive governance models and entities that set them apart from general urban and rural communities. This study examines the autonomous “informal governance” process in Guangzhou's Yuancun urban village through a case study approach. It investigates the formation mechanisms of the “dual system”. The study underlines the significance of grassroots innovation and the Chinese Communist Party's role in attaining governance autonomy. Despite the government's aim to integrate urban villages into the urban governance system, persistent challenges arise from these unique models and entities. The Village Company plays a pivotal role in promoting stable governance through participatory practices and economic advantages. Resolving the complex issues in urban villages necessitates integrated economic, political, and social solutions. Empowering the Village Company to handle specific public affairs can facilitate the transition towards the modernization of grassroots governance.

Gnashing of Teeth
Authors: Carlson Ron ,   Private Practice, Carlson Bridge Technologies, Inc., Hawaiia, USA,
Published: July 2024

Life is filled with objects, things, strategies, devices, ploys that may be complex or simple. A common condition impacting not only the teeth but gumjawbone complex, temporal mandibular joint, muscles, tendons, ligaments and softtissues of the oral cavity is that of “gnashing of teeth.” We in the honorable art and science of dentistry call this condition bruxism, tapping, jiggling or extra-oral movements (parafunctional habits) that may impede breathing, influence headache, or other super-pectoral painful conditions such as neuropathies. After 55 years of practice I have observed a huge rise in these condition in the past ten to fifteen years. Oral Bruxism condition is associated with snoring, clapping of teeth, airway compromise, and their attending effects—loss of sleep, quality of sleep as well as emotional implications. Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) is the condition identified from a medical view and, related to snoring, grinding of teeth, tapping, jiggling and has led many to devices such as an electrical stimulator called “Inspire” (figure 2.) which is alleged as an alternative to Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP—see figure 1.) that works inside your body while you sleep. It’s a small electrical device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure below the collar bone that monitors breathing and stimulates the tongue to reposition for better breathing, hopefully. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common form of sleep apnea and occurs when the throat muscles relax and block the airway during sleep. Of course, this is theory with some facts in logic, in my humble opinion. About 18 million American adults have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.Another approach in resolution of these condition are oral positioners as shown below, Figure 3 below. All of these devices are made of hard plastics that may cause more harm than good in my experience and estimation. They are often of novel colors to encourage acceptance of their many designs. Constructed to fit the upper arch and lower and work together they are complex and ill-fitting mostly.
valuation of advanced Dosimetry in Transarterial Radioembolization of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with 90Y microspheres
Authors: Knešaurek Karin ,   Department of Diagnostic,  Molecular and Interventional Radiology, lcahn School of  Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York,NY,USA., Abdelrahman Ahmed
Published: July 2024

Objective : The aim of our study was to analyze the relationships between tumor (T) and normal tissue (N) absorbed dose in relation to the clinical outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with 90Y microspheres. Materials and methods : After transarterial radioembolization of HCC with 90Y microspheres, 62 patients (10 females: 52 males, mean age 68.2±8.2 years) were imaged using a four-ring, time-of-flight (TOF), PET/CT system. Low dose, non-diagnostic CT images from PET/CT were utilized for localization of the 90Y microspheres and attenuation correction of PET images. Response assessment was conducted using mRECIST criteria on MRI one month post treatment and subsequently every three months after 90Y treatment. Results : Among 62 patients, mean liver, tumor, and normal tissue doses (mean ± SD) were 51.38±23.32 Gy, 682.60±785.19 Gy and 45.54±21.19 Gy, respectively. Out of these patients, 39 exhibited complete response (CR), 11 showed partial response (PR), 2 had stable disease (SD), and 10 showed progression of the disease (PD). For CR+PR patients the mean T was 824.63±833.10 Gy, whereas for PD patients, the mean T was significantly lower at 205.70±183.22 Gy. The mean liver and normal tissue doses were comparable; for CR+PR patients had liver and normal tissue doses of 51.01±22.55 Gy and 45.18±20.68 Gy, respectively, and for PD patients, these values were 54.34±26.73 Gy and 49.10±22.97 Gy, respectively. Conclusion : Despite not considering the partial volume effect and having a limited number of PD cases, our data indicates a statistically significant lower (P = 0.0001) tumor dose in patients with disease progression compared to those with complete and partial response. These results suggest that post-therapy personalized, and image-based dosimetry provides promising predictive outcomes in 90Y microsphere radiation therapy for liver cancers.

Teori kognitif sosial digunakan untuk mengenal, memprediksi perilaku dan mengidentifikasi metode-metode yang tepat untuk mengubah perilaku. Pembelajaran kognitif menurut teori kognitif teori kognitif sosial (social cognitive theory) yang dikemukakan oleh Albert Bandura menyatakan bahwa faktor sosial dan kognitif serta factor pelaku memainkan peran penting dalam pembelajaran. Berdasarkan bidang studi psikologi sosial, teori ini memeiliki efek pada proses motivasional yang kuat dalam pemahaman tentang efek pengaruh bagi anak-anak maupun orang dewasa. Proses-proses motivasional membahas tujuan motivasi, harapan akan hasil motivasi dan nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam motivasi. Motivasi belajar berkaitan erat dengan prinsip bahwa perilaku yang memperoleh penguatan (reinforcement) di masa lalu lebih memiliki kemungkinan diulang dibandingkan dengan perilaku yang tidak memperoleh penguatan atau perilaku yang terkena hukuman (punishment). Dalam motivasi belajar, penganut teori motivasional menimbulkan tingkat persistensi dan entusiasmenya dalam melaksanakan suatu kegiatan, baik yang bersumber dari dalam diri individu itu sendiri (motivasi intrinsik) maupun dari luar individu (motivasi ekstrinsik). Peran motivasi dalam proses pembelajaran, dapat dianalogikan sebagai penggerak belajar yang memadai yang mendorong siswa berperilaku aktif untuk berprestasi pembelajaran.
Scientific (Astro) tourism activities in Armenia and in South West and Central Asian region
Authors: Farmanyan S. V. , Mikayelyan G. A. , Mickaelian A. M.
Published: July 2024

Scientific Tourism activities have been initiated in a number of countries during the recent decades.
Armenia was among the first countries developing Scientific Tourism and most probably the first to
develop Astro Tourism. We were the first to introduce the term “Astronomical Tourism” (or “Astro
Tourism”). This includes visits to astronomy-related sites (astronomical observatories, astronomical institutes, astronomy-related university departments, ancient sky/astronomy-related sites, medieval universities, planetariums, space/astronomy museums, etc.) but not only. The organization of astronomical
meetings, schools, camps and other events with involvement of many visitors, we also consider as Astro
Tourism activities. We give an overview of our activities, including the main project; development of
Astro Tourism in the SWCA region. A detailed study of Astro Tourism sites in Armenia, Georgia, Iran,
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkey and (in addition) Uzbekistan was carried out, namely, modern astronomical observatories and institutes, ancient astronomy-related sites, medieval universities, planetariums,
astronomy/space museums, etc. A webpage was built representing Astro Tourism in SWCA region. We
also discuss the Scientific Tourism and Tourism in general as disciplines for studies and not only as service.
We will share our experience on Scientific/Astro tourism activities and discuss how different items may
be implemented in different regions.
The runaway nature and origin of α Crucis system

Published: July 2024

Massive stars are always the focus of astronomical research and a significant part of them (10–20%)
moves in space at a high (supersonic) velocity. This paper presents the results of a study of the α Crucis
system, located at ∼114 pc distance from the Sun, with an observed bow shock around it. We used data
and images from the Gaia and WISE space telescopes. The coordinates, distance, and proper motion of
the α Crucis system were used to determine its space velocity. We managed to find a stellar cluster to
which the α Crucis system belongs, that is, it has not been ejected from its parent cluster, but is moving
in space together with other members of the cluster. The α Crucis system has a velocity of ∼1.3 km/s
relative to the star cluster. The geometric parameters of the bow shock are compatible with other known
bow shocks. The bow shock is unaligned, i.e., most likely interstellar medium (ISM) large-scale motions
are responsible for the resulting bow shock, which is further evidence that the α Crucis system is not
runaway in nature.
Destejiendo puntos de vista feministas. Reflexiones metodológicas desde la etnografía del diseño de una tecnología
Authors: Pérez-Bustos Tania , Márquez Sara Daniela
Published: July 2024

Presentamos algunas reflexiones metodológicas sobre el papel de la etnografía feminista en un proyecto interdisciplinar en el que se busca diseñar participativamente un desarrollo tecnológico, que tiene como inspiración el bordado artesanal. Los referentes teóricos que sostienen estas reflexiones son las discusiones contemporáneas sobre asuntos del cuidado en la ciencia y la tecnología. Nos interesa argumentar que el cuidado configura los procesos de diseño participativo de modos particulares. Así, el artículo se centra en dos momentos del proceso inicial de diseño de tecnologías en los que es posible rastrear sentidos distintos en torno a esta categoría. Por un lado, la idea de que al pensar desde el cuidado se construyen jerarquías entre quienes investigan y aquellos para quienes se investiga. Por otro, la propuesta de que el cuidado supone afectos y contactos a partir de los que se construyen relaciones de interdependencia y se propician diálogos de saberes. Argumentamos que un movimiento hacia un diseño participativo cuidadoso con perfil crítico propicia desarrollos de tecnologías anclados en relacionalidades entre actores humanos y no humanos. El material empírico sobre el que se sustentan esas reflexiones son observaciones etnográficas del proceso de diseño y entrevistas a investigadores e investigadoras del proyecto.
Género y tecnologías. Ciberfeminismos y construcción de la tecnocultura actual
Authors: Perdomo Reyes Inmaculada
Published: July 2024

La ceguera de género ha sido común en los estudios teóricos sobre las tecnologías y ello ha implicado la invisibilización de muchos de los aspectos que nos interesa ahora resaltar, en especial cuando han contribuido a la reproducción o persistencia de los estereotipos de género en nuestras relaciones con la tecnología. Los debates actuales del tecnofeminismo y el ciberfeminismo exigen tener mucho más presente el rol de los sujetos en los procesos de generación de conocimientos y las dinámicas de exclusión o desautorización en la práctica científico-tecnológica actual. Superar la injusticia epistémica, construir nuevas narrativas y universos simbólicos plurales e identificar las claves de una acción política transformadora en el mundo poshumano que se avista, son tareas que aborda el ciberfeminismo actual.
Ética del cuidado para la superación del androcentrismo. Hacia una ética y una política ecofeministas
Authors: Velasco Sesma Angélica
Published: July 2024

Una correcta integración de razón y emoción, de principios universales y virtudes del cuidado, de derechos y responsabilidades, permite alcanzar teorías éticas más completas que aquellas que reniegan de ciertas cualidades que han sido feminizadas por una historia de exclusión de las mujeres. La ética ambiental, según sostenemos, tiene mucho que ganar de la nueva forma de entender la moralidad que se propone desde la ética del cuidado. Así lo entiende el pensamiento ecofeminista que ha continuado y profundizado en los análisis del androcentrismo llevados a cabo por el feminismo del siglo XX.
Por una revaloración de la filosofía de la técnica. Un argumento a favor del rol cultural de la técnica
Authors: Monterroza Ríos Álvaro , Escobar Jorge M. , Mejía Escobar Jorge A.
Published: July 2024

Este artículo propone una valoración positiva de la filosofía de la técnica (o de la tecnología), en contraposición a posturas pesimistas. Identificamos estas posturas a partir de un análisis crítico de tres argumentos empleados en filosofía de la técnica: el argumento del orden jerárquico, el argumento de la neutralidad axiológica de la técnica y el argumento de la técnica como instrumento de poder y dominación. Nuestra postura sostiene que el valor de la filosofía de la técnica yace en que ella se ocupa de estudiar los diferentes modos en que la técnica posibilita y constituye una cultura, lo cual incluye reflexiones permanentes acerca de la responsabilidad ética y política de los miembros de esa cultura sobre el uso de la técnica.

Published: July 2024

The material melted and quickly solidified on the surface, forming a Recast layer over the machined surface. The present experimental assessment measures the extent of influence of machine variables towards the deposition of recast material post-machining Die Steel D3. The microstructure of the recast layer is dendritic and columnar due to sudden quenching, causing complex phase transformation. Scanning Electron Microscopy is utilized to assess the range of recast deposition. The range of average recast deposition is between 32.7 to 68.5 µm. The sequential model and lack of fit tests depict that the EDM parameters and recast layer can be modeled using 2FI equations. The analysis apprised that peak current (p-value < 0.0001) has a crucial impact on recast deposition. The duration (p-value = 0.4694) was the minimal affecting factor amid selected variables for white layer thickness, which aligns with the previous literature. The impact of current and duration is almost linear towards recast layer thickness and higher deposits of recast layer (RL) are observed at higher levels of current and duration. Lower RL can only be attained by setting a lower current and on duration. The influence of lower voltage is not much on recast layer thickness at minimum value of peak current. The residual error of 3.13% during model validation illustrates the adequacy of the model.
Social Media: Its Impact on Youth Travelers and Formation of Sustainable Destination Image
Authors: Gupta Divisha , Sharma Yogita
Published: July 2024

Social media is widely used, particularly in the travel industry. With the rapid changes in technology, there has been a substantial escalation in the usage of various social media networking sites like Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. On these platforms, users are encouraged to make blog entries, upload images of their adventures, and exchange information about their activities and hobbies with other users. Various researchers have examined how social media has the potential to influence the trip-planning process significantly, and it has been concluded that social media has a noteworthy influence on travel decisions. The current study aims to investigate the influence of social media on the travel decisions that are being taken up by the young generation. The present research aims to investigate the influence of social media in the generation of images of various destinations in the minds of prospective travelers. To fathom the influence of social media in the minds of the young generation while they are making travel decisions, a conceptual framework has been developed in the current study with the help of the Technology Acceptance Model. To achieve the objective of inspecting the influence of social media in generating sustainable destination images in travelers’ minds, a sample size of 420 has been taken. Perceived Costs, Perceived Ease of Use, and Perceived Enjoyment have been used to evolve the conceptual model. The findings of the study will play a vital role for online travel marketers as it will provide them insights regarding the way the young generation makes use of social networking sites and how these sites are helpful in the creation of destination images in the minds of these travelers and allow them to modify their online marketing tactics accordingly.
Analyzing deep learning algorithms with statistical methods
Authors: Trifan Lucian Sergiu , Moldovanu Simona
Published: July 2024

A number of farmers use human inspection to classify the quality of their fruits visually; this process could be done automatically with a Learning algorithm. This paper investigates the classification of apples, peaches, and oranges and verifies the quality of classification with the density of the edges detected in each image by the Sobel filter. The novelty of the study consists of comparing the classification accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) and the statistical analysis of edge histograms. The edges are the main elements of what the CNN learns; this was the reason for verifying the deep learning algorithms with skewness, kurtosis, and standard deviation metrics extracted from the histogram of edge density detected by the Sobel filter. In the empirical process, four algorithms were proposed: a CNN with one convolutional layer, a DNN without convolutional layers, and two pre-trained networks, AlexNet and GoogLeNet. From clustering of the row data and analyzing the accuracy, the best classification is obtained by simple CNN for 20 epochs when the apples vs. oranges were classified.

Published: July 2024

The intercession of Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) risk assessments with public health strategy is crucial in mitigating occupational hazards and controlling the spread of infectious diseases. This review examines the role of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) risk assessments in mitigating occupational hazards and controlling the spread of infectious diseases, with a focus on public health implications. The study highlights the importance of comprehensive risk assessments in identifying and managing workplace hazards, including both physical and psychosocial risks. It discusses the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and big data analytics, to enhance the predictive capabilities of HSE risk assessments. The review also explores the necessity of ethical considerations in the application of these technologies, emphasizing transparency, privacy, and accountability. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of coordinated efforts between industries and public health authorities, especially in the context of infectious disease outbreaks like COVID-19. Policy recommendations include the development of robust regulations, the promotion of industry-public health collaboration, and the provision of support for small and medium-sized enterprises. The review identifies gaps in current research and suggests future directions, such as longitudinal studies on the effectiveness of HSE interventions and the inclusion of psychosocial factors in risk assessments. By addressing these gaps and implementing the proposed recommendations, policymakers and industry stakeholders can significantly enhance workplace safety and health standards, ultimately protecting workers and promoting public health resilience.
Szkody łowieckie w świetle uwarunkowań ekonomicznych i prawnych
Authors: Flis Marian
Published: July 2024

Interakcje zwierząt na środowiska ich bytowania w postępujących zmianach zarówno agrocenoz, jak i fitocenoz leśnych prowadzą do uszkadzania roślin, które w ujęciu gospodarczym określane są mianem szkód wyrządzanych przez zwierzęta. W przypadku zwierząt łownych odpowiedzialność za szkody w uprawach i płodach rolnych scedowana jest na dzierżawców lub zarządców administracyjnie wydzielonych terenów, określanych jako obwody łowieckie. W ostatnich latach problem szkód przybiera na znaczeniu, co bezpośrednio powiązane jest ze zwiększeniem liczebności dzików, będących ich głównym sprawcą. Wraz ze zwiększeniem się liczby szkód wzrastają obciążenia finansowe kół łowieckich, których członkowie niejednokrotnie zmuszeni są podejmować dodatkowe zobowiązania finansowe na pokrycie odszkodowań za szkody czynione przez zwierzynę. W sytuacji takiej nieodzowna wydaje się współpraca między myśliwymi i rolnikami w celu maksymalnego ograniczenia tych szkód. Jednak w obecnych warunkach strukturalno-ekonomicznych rolnictwa nie jest to takie proste i wymaga dużego zaangażowania i dobrej woli obu stron.

The Narrative of πίστις: A Narratological Approach to πίστις in 1 Peter
Authors: Hussung J. Benjamin
Published: July 2024

One important aspect of moral formation in 1 Peter is Peter’s goal to encourage believers to continue in their trust in God amidst suffering, and narratives play a key role in achieving this goal. This article argues that a narrative of trust (πίστις) made up of three events—the choice of trust, trust through suffering, and the outcome of trust—underlies 1 Peter. First, this article outlines the author’s narratological method. Second, the article exegetes the relevant passages where the πίστις word group is prevalent. Third, the article reconstructs Peter’s narrative of trust based around these three events, drawing implications for how this narrative encourages continued trust in God. Through his letter, Peter’s audience begins to see themselves within this narrative, looking both backward toward their redemption through Christ’s death and resurrection and forward toward Christ’s revelation. They see both the foundation and the outcome of their trust in Christ and are motivated to stay the course amidst suffering, firm in their relational trust in God and fully committed to him, knowing that just as God has been faithful to fulfill his promises in Christ, so he will be faithful to fulfill all his promises to them in the end.
A Folkloric Reading of Qassim’s "Al-Shamandūra" (The buoy) and Mokhtar’s "Jibāl al-Kuḥl" (Mountains of kohl)
Authors: Abou el-Lail Khalid
Published: July 2024

A preliminary reading of a number of Nubian novels reveals a basic peculiarity, embodied in the close relation between these novels and the nature of the Nubian society, so much so that this genre of writing has become a mirror reflecting the traditions of this society with its habits, customs and beliefs.

Contemplating Muhammad Khalil Qassim’s novel, Al-Shamandūra (The buoy, 1968), the reader discerns techniques drawing inspiration from folklore with the purpose of approaching the intended social and political issues. This creates a form of intertextuality of the literary text and the actual life narrative of Nubian life, as the novel forms a narrative of the social customs related to life cycles: birth, celebrating the first week, children’s and adult’s play, marriage conventions and songs, in addition to rites concerning death and mourning. The novel registers as well the traits of the Nubian character and everyday life habits, social relations and conventional laws. Moreover, this novel involves elements of the River Nile folklore. This is also the case in Yehia Mokhtar’s Jibāl al-Kuḥl (Mountains of kohl, 2001)

This special aspect of the Nubian novel, techniques of drawing inspiration from folklore, drove me to attempt a study of this type, revealing its manifestations in the two novels studied. This study is based on cultural criticism as this could be the best approach to this type of study. The domain of Cultural Studies is credited with taking interest in the neglected and marginalized, and what is popular and delightful. Through a cultural analysis of the daily lives of the Nubians, the various social and religious practices, folk traditions, marriage and birth rituals, and folkloric practices, the culturally marginalized and possibly persecuted find full expression. Through a cultural reading, the texts open up spaces for the marginalized socially, spatially, temporally, and culturally.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Teques ve diğerleri, (2015, 2016) tarafından geliştirilen Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanterinin Türkçe formunun sporcularda ve ebeveynlerde geçerliliğini ve güvenirliğini test etmektir. Çalışmaya 90 kız (x̄yaş 12,73±2,02), 105 erkek (x̄yaş =13,49 ±2,29) toplam 195 sporcu (x̄yaş=13,14±2,20) ve bu sporcuların 140’ı anne (x̄yaş =43,84±5,72) ve 141’i baba (x̄yaş =46,66±5,37) olmak üzere toplam 281 (x̄yaş =45,25±5,71) ebeveyn katılmıştır. Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanteri sporcu ve ebeveyn algısını içeren dört farklı formdan oluşmaktadır. Formların yapı geçerliği için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi, yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerliği için AVE, MSV, ASV ve güvenirliğini sınamak için ise Cronbach Alfa ve CR katsayısı kullanılmıştır. DFA sonuçlarına göre; Form 1’de üç madde (madde 8,26,36), Form 2’de bir madde (madde 5) düşük yük vermesinden, Form 2 ve Form 3’te ise madde 14 ilgili alt boyuta yük vermemesinden ötürü modelden çıkarılmıştır. İlgili maddeler modelden çıkarıldığında yapıların iyi uyum indeks değerlerine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan DFA sonuçları, Form 4’ün uyum indekslerinin düşüklüğü nedeniyle Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir olmadığını göstermiştir. Yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerlik için yapılan analizlere göre Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Ölçeğinin üç formunun alt boyutlarına ait AVE, CR, MSV ve ASV ve güvenirlik için Cronbach alfa katsayıları da kabul edilebilir sınırlar içindedir. Elde edilen bulgular, Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanterini oluşturan Türkçe formlarının (Form 1,2,3) spor ortamında ebeveyn katılımının algılanmasının sporcu ve ebeveyn perspektifinden değerlendirilmesi için geçerlik ve güvenirlik koşullarını sağladığı ortaya koymaktadır.

Introduction: Brentuximab vedotin (BV) is a CD-30 directed antibody and microtubule inhibitor conjugate indicated for the treatment of multiple types of lymphoma, including anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Consensus-based guidelines recommend BV with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP) as first-line treatment in a patient with ALCL. Alternative treatment options for ALCL can be limited due to patient-specific factors. Lymphomas account for approximately 11% of cancers in pregnancy. Brentuximab vedotin has not been studied in pregnancy; therefore, making the use of an antibody drug conjugate in this patient the first documented use in pregnancy.

Case Report: A 26-year-old female was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma at 14 weeks gestation. The patient has a past medical history of ALCL in 2004 at eight years old and a prior miscarriage. Consensus-based guidelines recommend BV with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP) as first-line treatment in a patient with ALCL. Treatment with BV plus CHP was initiated at 15 weeks gestation for a total of 6 cycles during the antepartum period. At 33 weeks gestation, the patient delivered a 4-pound infant male without complications, birth defects, or health disparities. Two additional cycles of BV and CHP were administered during the postpartum period. Complete remission has been achieved in this patient.

Conclusion: The outcomes in this case indicate the potential safety of BV in patients after the first trimester of pregnancy.

Plastic waste generation makes the second largest contribution of 18.6% to the total generation of municipal solid waste. Plastic waste often becomes a problem in the environment because it does not decompose easily. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one type of plastic waste. This paper aims to provide a general review of the potential for using nuclear energy in the form of irradiation techniques in assessing the life cycle of PET plastic waste. The research method used is a literature study based on several related studies. The life cycle assessment method can be used to analyze potential uses and their impacts. Life cycle assessment consists of the stages of determining objectives and scope, life cycle inventory analysis, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation. A SWOT analysis of the PET sorting program from generation sources is needed as a complement to the life cycle assessment analysis. The potential for PET irradiation techniques is in two ways, namely direct and indirect. The first way, is PET plastic waste is exposed to a certain dose of radiation directly to degrade the material properties of PET plastic waste. The second way, PET plastic waste is substituted into other products, and then a certain dose of radiation is given. At the stage of determining life cycle goals, for example, measuring the impact of irradiation techniques on the reuse or recycling of PET plastic waste. The scope is limited to “gate to gate”, from receiving PET plastic to PET irradiation. The functional unit as a basic unit can be used based on 1 kg of PET plastic. The use of nuclear power through irradiation techniques has the potential to be used in processing PET plastic. Keywords: irradiation, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), life cycle assessment
