Aó é a palavra em guarani que nomeia diversas possiblidades de trabalho com o tecido, como adornar, proteger e vestir - em tal poética, cada tecido conjuga uma modalidade de alfabeto ao enlaçar, fio por fio, as histórias daqueles que os costuram numa escrita sobre e com o corpo. Partindo do campo da psicanálise como um certo tratamento do corpo através da transferência, encontra-se na moda um assoreamento profícuo para o ensino e transmissão da psicanalise, desde a orientação de lituraterrar o discurso analítico com outros campos de saber, bem como a responsabilidade de cada psicanalista em buscar novas chaves de leitura capazes de formalizar a experiência clínica. Nesses termos, o referido trabalho consiste na primeira comunicação de uma pesquisa sobre a produção artística do franco-argelino Yves Saint-Laurent, cujo desejo de costureiro acontece precocemente quando já desenhista traçava vestidos de papel capazes de encaixar em manequins do mesmo material. Em outras palavras, as criações desse artista, que realizou a proeza de vencer o tempo reduzindo-se de maneira radical a três letras (YSL), permitem detalhar e sofisticar questões caras aos analistas, como a de que não há linha sem risco ou, encore, sobre as bordas do desenho de um corpo.

Authors: Dias Ana Carolina Afonso Lima
Published: December 2023

Este artigo discute algumas conjunções entre a psicanálise e o campo da saúde mental pública, ordenado pela Reforma Psiquiátrica Brasileira, pensando quais as contribuições possíveis da psicanálise à clínica da saúde mental pública, na direção da sustentação clínico-política da diferença; bem como propõe discutir as incidências ético-políticas de tal posicionamento, dada a singularidade do sujeito.  Destaca-se o relevo especial que será dado à posição do psicanalista e seu discurso como vias de acesso, que podem possibilitar a intersecção entre estes campos, tensionando o lugar do psicanalista nas instituições, considerando sua posição em relação ao saber, articulando sua posição ao MAIS UM, proposição de Lacan para o dispositivo do cartel a partir da transferência de trabalho, que, neste texto, são pensadas no contexto da psicanálise em extensão.

Authors: Ayaz Mohammad , Afridi Sikandar Hayat , Naz Shakila
Published: December 2023

The evolution of Marxist-Leninist trends in the poetry of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is historically linked with post-October 1917 socialist realism, which was founded by Maxim Gorky (1890-1960). Sanubar Hussain Mohmand Kakaji (1898-1963) and Qalandar Mohamad (1930-2003) have translated progressive themes from Arabic, Persian, and Russian works of literature. This research explores the lives and works of these two progressive poets of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan, with reference to the existence of socialist realism in their work as well as progressive trends in their poetry. The selected themes and contents discussed in this paper clearly reflect a deep relationship with contemporary issues of the Pakhtun people and the manifest purposefulness in their nature. Like Vladimir Mayakovski, and Gorky, the two Russian poets, Kakaji and Qalandar introduced and progressed socialist realism in the Pashtu literature. In this paper, an effort is made to highlight the progressivism and purposefulness' in the selected poetry of these two poets, along with the presentation of excerpts from their poetry with English translation.

Through the Eyes of a Target: An Auto Ethnographic Account of Bullying in University
Authors: Sharif Iqra , Sultan Hanana , Jameel Binish
Published: December 2023

This autoethnography examines my personal experiences with bullying as a university student, both as a target and a bystander. Through critical reflection on vignettes from my memories, I identify key themes related to the dynamics, impacts, and systemic factors surrounding bullying in this setting. Findings reveal diverse manifestations of bullying, from overt harassment to microaggressions. Victims are targeted for perceived differences, leading to profound psychological impacts. Bystanders often fail to intervene due to discomfort with confrontation or fear of social repercussions, implicitly enabling bullying. University climate and leadership also play a key role in either inhibiting or perpetuating bullying behaviours. The study illuminates the need for multilayered interventions encompassing culture change, education, policy reform, and youth activism. While limited to one perspective, this account provides an evocative, nuanced look into the lived experience of bullying.
"The Riches of Ancient Pakistan: A Magnet for Invaders throughout History"
Authors: Hussain Chaman
Published: December 2023

This research article delves into the historical narrative of ancient Pakistan, a region consistently sought after by invaders due to its abundant resources. Encompassing present-day Pakistan and parts of northern India, it has been a focal point for invasions and migrations over millennia. Its allure can be attributed to fertile lands, rivers, and mineral wealth supporting flourishing civilizations like the Indus Valley and Mauryan empires. Early invasions by Aryan tribes, Alexander's conquest, and Ashoka's Mauryan Empire marked significant chapters in the region's history. Islamic conquests in the 7th and 8th centuries introduced a new era, leading to the establishment of Islamic empires. The Mughals, drawn by the region's potential, brought cultural fusion. In the 19th century, British colonization further underlined its significance. This article highlights ancient Pakistan's enduring appeal, as a land of abundant resources and cultural diversity that has continuously attracted invaders, shaping the region's history and its role in human civilization.
The Politics of Left-Wing and Right-Wing in Pakistan: A Critical Appreciation
Authors: Chatha Amer Liaquat
Published: December 2023

This research article provides an insightful understanding of the politics of right and left wing considering the ideological foundations since the pre-partition era and its connotation in the political landscape of Pakistan. Various political organisations emerged venturing secular, socialist, and progressive adherences protecting the rights of peasants, labour unions, minorities and disenfranchised segments of the society through economic and social equality. On the other hand, right-wing encapsulates the nationalist, conservative, and religious orientation mustering support from clergy and conservative strata of society. Furthermore, this paper investigates how these two narratives assisted Pakistan in formulating external and domestic policies taking into account their success and failure in national and global contexts.
Atrakcyjność inwestycyjna i płatnicza kryptowalut – ocena z perspektywy analizy SWOT
Authors: Żółtaszek Agata , Matera Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

Kryptowaluty, jako nowy środek płatniczy i przedmiot inwestycji, stały się powszechnym tematem dyskusji na rynkach finansowych. Ewolucja pieniądza dowodzi, że jego forma przez tysiąclecia dostosowywana była do potrzeb ludzi i rynku, a kryptowaluty są bez wątpienia kolejnym etapem w tej długiej historii. Na chwilę obecną trudno stwierdzić, czy waluty wirtualne wejdą w przyszłości do mainstreamu finansów, czy pozostaną niszową formą pieniądza. Dołączenie do grona użytkowników kryptowalut, czy też unikanie tej metody płatności i formy inwestycji, powinno być podyktowane rzetelną oceną realnych szans zysków, jakie dają waluty wirtualne, oraz zagrożeń z nimi związanych.Głównym powodem atrakcyjności płatniczej i inwestycyjnej kryptowalut jest brak centralnego emitenta, czyli funkcjonowanie na zasadzie zdecentralizowanego systemu. Głównym czynnikiem do obaw są duże zmiany cen poszczególnych coinów w krótkim i ultrakrótkim okresie. Ponadto anonimowość transakcji sprzyja ich wykorzystywaniu w działalności przestępczej, co budzi niepokój wielu potencjalnych użytkowników. Ryzykiem, którego nieświadomych jest wielu posiadaczy, jest ich negatywny wpływ na środowisko wynikający z ogromnego zapotrzebowania na energię elektryczną podczas „wydobywania” coinów i powiązany z tym ślad węglowy.Poszerzenie wiedzy o funkcjonowaniu rynku kryptowalut powinno wpłynąć pozytywnie na racjonalność zachowań inwestorów, zwłaszcza indywidualnych, stabilizację długookresową popytu i cen, jak również na zapewnienie wyższego poziomu bezpieczeństwa na zdecentralizowanych rynkach finansowych.

Some Aspects of the Messengers Development – Means of Social Communication
Authors: Tkachenko Oleksandr , Honcharenko Denys
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to study and analyse various desktop messengers, identify existing problems and ways to solve them, and apply innovative approaches to the implementation of a desktop messenger that combines a high level of security and excellent performance with a wide range of functionalities that meet modern user requirements.
Desktop messengers have become an important component of everyday communication for many categories of users, providing a convenient and fast way to exchange various information. The article examines, in particular, how the integration of modern technologies into the communication process contributes to a change in the approach to communications, increasing the amount of information transmitted, reducing the time to receive a response, and providing the user with information about the receipt of the transmitted information by his or her “interlocutor” (or “interlocutors”).
The research methods are the main methodological approaches and technological tools for creating high–performance and user-friendly messengers.
The scientific novelty of the study is the analysis of modern technologies for developing platforms for supporting the online communication and communication process, the results of which can be used in the development of an own software product – a messenger.
The article substantiates the relevance of developing a desktop messenger, which is due to the fact that fast and secure messaging is of great importance today since modern messengers have become one of the most important means of communication, facilitating remote work and so-called “social” communication.
Conclusions. The paper investigates the known views on the modern approach to the development of desktop messengers. The analysis has led to the choice of the concept of developing a modern author’s messenger based on the use of C++ and Qt and, as a result, the prototype of the author’s messenger developed on its basis.
The development of the messenger using C++ and Qt helps to solve the problems of security and privacy of communications (in particular, by protecting personal information distributed in the messenger). Encryption support, data protection, and access rights management are implemented using the capabilities of C++ and Qt.
The proposed approach to messenger development provides one of the best solutions, reducing the separation between front- and back-end parts and facilitating development flexibility. This makes it possible to create scalable and high-performance messengers. In addition, this approach guarantees the security and performance optimization of desktop messengers and improves their functionality and usability.
Concept of Chatbot as an Intelligent Dialogue Assistant
Authors: Kotsiubivska Kateryna , Tymoshenko Olena , Huziy Mykola , Lysyniuk Vladyslav
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the study is to compare chatbots, assess their ability to perform tasks, analyze their impact on consumers, and determine the areas of application and risks associated with the use of intelligent dialogue assistants.
The research methods used in the study include analysis and systematisation of information, synthesis and generalization of theoretical data based on a review of current research, which made it possible to assess the risks and benefits of using chatbots for businesses and ordinary users.
The scientific novelty lies in the analysis of technologies for creating intelligent dialogue assistants and determining the areas of application of chatbots. A study of the areas of application of modern intelligent dialogue systems has shown the high efficiency of using chatbots to solve typical user problems. The article provides statistical data on how satisfied Internet users are with contacts with chatbots and describes recommendations for improving such dialogue systems. An analysis of the role of artificial intelligence in the operation of dialogue systems has shown possible risks from the impact of technology on the minds of users.
Conclusions. One of the most obvious trends in chatbots in 2023 is that their use will become more widespread and chatbots themselves will become more sophisticated. Their advantage is free customer service and data collection, which can then be used for marketing research. Over time, chatbots will be used in such areas as marketing, recruitment, education, and medicine. Their ability to perform a wide range of tasks makes chatbots attractive for e-commerce stores, B2B companies, real estate, healthcare, and education.
In the future, intelligent dialogue agents will work with huge, dynamic, heterogeneous data streams, providing powerful capabilities for adaptive and flexible interaction. Dialogue systems have become successful and reliable due to the large amount of real-world user data available to their developers. However, these systems still exhibit rather limited communication behaviour modelled on information retrieval tasks. Chatbots are developed for research purposes, but they are often limited to a narrow, manually created domain. The newest trend in conversational agent development involves neural networks and models trained on huge collections of dialogue data without detailed specifications of dialogue states. These models lack tractability and interpretability due to their black-box nature. They also require extensive supervised training data to be competitive.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyse and reveal the essence of building and using SaaS platforms for implementing modern information technologies in business activities.
Research methods. The article uses a systematic approach to the study of the problem of introducing modern information technologies into business activities. To achieve this goal, the authors used an analytical method that allowed them to analyse the principles of construction and functioning of SaaS platforms and to determine the specific features of their use in e-business.
The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the article develops the principles of building SaaS platforms in terms of their application in the process of e-business.
Conclusions. The digital economy as a concept has been used in the economic environment and scientific research since the mid-90s of the 20th century. Its emergence was facilitated by the development and widespread use of the Internet, conducting commercial activities in this network environment through the use of websites as trading platforms. More and more industries are relying on digital technologies. Their number is constantly growing, adjacent industries are emerging, and digital technologies are being used in all spheres of society. Digitalisation provides scientists, educators, entrepreneurs and other professionals with tools that fundamentally change the way they work, from banking to private tutoring to retail. E-commerce is one of the areas where digital technologies are most actively used. It is worth noting that soon, e-commerce will dominate, and approaches to the organisation of trade will change. This is what makes research related to the construction and operation of various digital platforms that are actively used for digital business transformation so important. Thanks to these platforms, users can access the functionality of the software they need via the Internet for a paid subscription. The software itself is usually located on the developer’s server. The developer ensures its operability, regular updates, and improvements. Therefore, a businessman cooperates with the software owner in the following way: software is a service, its owner is a provider who maintains and updates this software, and the businessman is a consumer of this service. This way of organizing cooperation and using modern digital technologies is an effective approach that ensures maximum use of software capabilities at minimum cost. The article analyses the principles of building and functioning of SaaS platforms and describes their main functionalities and areas of application. The existing problems and prospects for the use of SaaS platforms in e-business systems are identified. Based on the results of the analysis, it is determined that the modern e commerce solution is Shopify, an innovative e-commerce platform. A detailed analysis of this platform is carried out, and the main functionalities, advantages and disadvantages of its use are determined.

Authors: Khany Reza , Valizadeh Peyman
Published: December 2023

This paper presents a comprehensive and rigorous systematic review of the trajectories and challenges in Research Articles (RAs) of Second Language Teacher Education (SLTE) from 1980 to 2020. The RAs were carefully retrieved from two sources: (1) a pool of 100 top-tier journals based on SCImago Journal Ranking (SJR) in Linguistics and Language category and (2) seven well-known electronic databases. This study used thematic analysis. After conducting full-text screening and data extraction, each study was systematically coded for publication contents, themes, theories, and variable levels. Each study was further coded for methodological features, including research design, analyses, and sampling. The findings indicate a rapid and consistent growth in SLTE research with a notable emphasis on Teacher Professional Development Programs (TPDP), research in teacher education, psychology in teacher education, culture, knowledge-based teacher education, and CALL. In addition, analysis of the data revealed several trajectories, including fewer publications in teacher education journals compared to other journals, lack of adherence to a clear theoretical framework in 27% of the studies, limited use of software in qualitative studies, and underdeveloped themes that received little attention. This review sheds light on the most significant and emerging areas of research in the field, and the article concludes with implications for SLTE scholars, researchers, and practitioners.
The NEST/NNEST Binary and Translingual Identity of U.S.-Educated EFL Instructors in Saudi Arabia: A Study on Linguistic and Cultural Navigation in the Classroom
Authors: S. Almalki Mansoor
Published: December 2023

This study contributes to the Global Southern epistemological debates on the professional identity negotiations of Global-North-educated English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors. Using semi-structured interviews, the study analyses how two Saudi Arabian EFL instructors, during their PhD studies in the United States, and upon their return home, coped with the phenomenon of native-speakerism and navigated their way through the binary of Native English-Speaking Teachers (NEST) and Non-Native English-Speaking Teachers (NNEST) in their teaching. They appreciated their Western education not due to the traditional privileged-Global-North-and-underprivileged-Global-South binary but because of the many ways in which it helped them negotiate their translingual identity. They saw themselves as better placed to give constructive feedback to learners but critiqued the NESTs’ inability to base themselves in the local culture and positioned themselves above NESTs due to their knowledge of indigenous Saudi culture. Thus, they dismantled the traditional privilege associated with native-speakerism but did not hail one category over the other. Instead, they picked from both categories the materials, ways, means and attitudes that best served their purpose. They strove for hybridity. Through their negotiation of their foreign education and local challenges, they developed a unique translingual identity.

The research findings delineate the repercussions induced by the pandemic on tour operators in Lithuania and consequently propose a resilience framework, contributing to the broader understanding of post-pandemic tourism supply chain transformation towards adaptability and resilience strategies.
Making the Computer Fit for School
Authors: Guerrero Cantarell Rosalía , Flury Carmen
Published: December 2023

As a result of the computerization of various workplaces and the increased presence of micro- computers in society, several countries around the globe took steps in the 1980s to introduce computers into schools. In certain countries, such as East Germany (GDR) and Sweden, this meant developing a purpose-built computer centrally to raise pupils’ level of competence in informatics. As part of this process, the microcomputer became the epitome of educational technology. In this article, we investigate the process by which the microcomputer became an educational technology in the minds of the politicians and pedagogues involved in the projects. We argue that the national projects that the GDR and Sweden embarked upon express the dominant views of the respective state authorities in relation to the ideal relationship between computer technology, society, and education. Through a historical comparison by contrast of contexts, this article shows the sociotechnical imaginaries that prompted the two countries to initiate a strategy to bring computer technology into schools.

This article details the challenges we encountered while undertaking this project and how digital Indigenous history can be a powerful tool for reconciliation.
Indirect therapy: changes to the communication of nursing staff caring for adults with learning disabilities (ALD)
Authors: O’Shaughnessy Clare , Goulding Finnuala
Published: December 2023

Background: Within the care of ALD there are changes occurring in relation to the context of care with services moving from residential to community care settings, and in intervention moving from direct to indirect approaches. There is limited documented research on these interventions. Purpose: The aim of this paper is to report on the implementation of indirect therapy and to report on the attempts made to evaluate its usefulness and effectiveness as an intervention. A further aim is to contribute to the evidence base for carer training within the area of learning disability in the Irish context. Method: 11 participants (nursing staff) attended two days training which focused on enhancing communication for ALD. Quantitative measures of their communicative interactions with their clients were recorded pre and post intervention. The participants also provided written feedback. Results: The findings were analysed and comparisons were made between the participants’ interaction skills pre and post intervention. The majority of participants improved in their use of communication strategies, allowing the client to lead communication and responding more appropriately to their clients. They were more aware of the communication needs of the client and had an increased awareness of their own communication and its effects on others. Changes in use of appropriate eye-contact (p=0.090) and use of appropriate questions (p=0.063) revealed borderline significance.
Language Delay in PreSchool Children with Cleft Palate +/- Cleft Lip – A Pilot Study
Authors: Fitzgerald Lynda , Sweeney Triona , Franklin Sue
Published: December 2023

Objectives: To ascertain if preschool children with cleft palate +/- cleft lip (CP +/- L) present with a delay in language development and, to determine the nature of the delay in terms of language content, structure and modality. Participants: Twelve preschool children with CP +/- L participated in the study. Design: A standardised language test, CELF Preschool UK – 2nd Edition, was administered and spontaneous utterances were informally analysed using LARSP and MLU scores. Z tests were used to compare participants’ scores with a standardised scoring regime of a known population. Results: Z scores revealed a significant difference between all five composite scores of language development of participants in this study and those of the known population. Descriptive statistics corroborated these findings. Conclusions: Preschool children with CP +/- L may be at a higher risk of delays in language development than their non-cleft peers. However, language delay is not a necessary concomitant in this population. This study highlights the possibility that the consequences of preschool children with CP +/- L are more than speech and isolated craniofacial anomalies.

BACKGROUND: Children with spastic diplegia experience tonicity, lack of selective motor control, subnormal postural stability and delayed motor development. Selective dorsal rhizotomy followed by physical therapy is a permanent procedure aimed to alleviate hypertonicity. OBJECTIVE: To explore the efficacy of selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) followed by a physical training on gross motor function (GMF), functional balance, walking capacity, selective motor control (SMC) and energy cost of walking (ECW) of ambulant children with spastic diplegia. METHODS: Forty-two children with spastic diplegia aged 5 to 8 years were randomly assigned into the control or SDR-group. Both groups received a designed physical training of progressive functional strength training and standard orthotic management (SOM) 3 times a week for 6 months. GMF, functional balance, ECW, functional capacity and SMC were assessed by gross motor function measure (GMfM-88), pediatric balance scale (PBS), energy expenditure index (EEI), six-minute walking test (6MWT) and selective control assessment of lower extremity (SCALE), respectively. Assessment was carried out before the treatment (baseline), after 6 months (post I) and 1-year follow-up (post II). RESULTS: From baseline to post I and post II assessments, changes of GMF, functional balance, ECW, functional capacity and SMC within the control and SDR groups showed significant improvements (P < 0.001). Moreover, group comparison showed significant differences in favor of the SDR group. CONCLUSION: Integrated physical training followed SDR demonstrated qualitative changes and enhancement in motor function, achieved by spasticity reduction.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the implementation of telehealth and hybrid service delivery models and provided an opportunity to study the impact of this care model in military populations with history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). OBJECTIVE: To present telehealth service utilization rates across rehabilitation specialties, treatment outcome indicators, and patient satisfaction outcomes from a retrospective clinical sample. METHODS: The study sample consists of 34 patients who underwent telehealth/hybrid Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) at a major rehabilitation hospital. Retrospective chart review and clinical data extraction were performed. A historical cohort receiving in-person care was used as a comparison group. Statistical analyses included partial correlations, mixed method analysis of variance (ANOVA), and independent sample t-tests. RESULTS: Medical, behavioral health, physical, occupational, and speech-language therapy providers exhibited similar rates of telehealth service delivery (35 to 41% of all sessions). No significant association was found between percent telehealth sessions and the global treatment outcome indicator. Comparison of treatment effects across cohorts revealed similar benefits of IOP. No between-group differences were noted in satisfaction ratings. CONCLUSION: The comparable treatment-related gains and reports of positive patient experience support the use of a telehealth and hybrid delivery model for military service members and veterans with TBI.

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) has caused various effects, changing people’s lives and work styles. During this period, workplaces decided to work remotely, so people spent more time at home. Therefore, workers’ personal and work lives were negatively affected. OBJECTIVE: This study planned to compare traditional and remote office workers’ occupational balance and life satisfaction in Turkey during COVID-19. METHODS: Google Survey was used for data collection. Three hundred office workers (18–65 years old) from Turkey participated in the study. The occupational balance and life satisfaction levels of participants were assessed using the Occupational Balance Questionnaire (QB-Quest) and Personal Well-being Index-Adult (PWI-A). RESULTS: Data collected were analyzed statistically by the Independent Sample t-test. It was found that the remote office workers had lower levels of occupational balance (p = 0.02; r = –3.317) and life satisfaction (p = 0.01; r = –2.199) compared to the traditional office workers. CONCLUSION: Remote office workers were found to have lower occupational balance and life satisfaction than traditional office workers. In this period, when the way of working changes like COVID-19, it is crucial to determine office workers’ occupational balance and life satisfaction and take precautions for their job performance and satisfaction.
