Suomalainen identiteetti ja arvot: sosiaalipsykologista historiaa
Authors: Helkama Klaus
Published: January 2025

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan suomalaisten arvoja ja arvomuutosta Schwartzin arvomallin valossa ja koetetaan löytää uusia tapoja mitata yhteiseksi koettuja (kansallis)arvoja. Edustavilla otoksilla tehtyjen sana-assosiaatiotestin, autostereotypiatutkimusten sekä historiatietoisuutta koskevan tutkimuksen pohjalta kansallisarvoihin luettiin protestanttiset arvot (koulutus, tasa-arvo, työ, rehellisyys), luontoarvot (yhteys luontoon, oma rauha, luonnonsuojelu, luonnon kauneus) sekä turvallisuusarvo maanpuolustus. Muut arvot muodostuivat yhteisiksi arvoiksi jo kansallista identiteettiä rakennettaessa 1800-luvulla, maanpuolustus vasta 1939-40. Erityisesti analysoitiin yksilöllisten arvojen ja kansallisarvojen vuorovaikutusta muutoksen selittämisessä, aineistoina aikuisia edustavat Puohiniemen neljä valtakunnallista otosta 1995-2015 ja  HY:n sosiaalipsykologian yksikön neljä otosta Pyhtäältä  1975-2007. Hypoteesi, että kansallisarvot vahvistuvat epävarmoiksi koetuissa oloissa, sai tukea molemmista aineistoista, kun kansallisarvoihin kuuluva tasa-arvo tuli tärkeämmäksi 2000-luvun alkuvuosina, vastoin Schwartzin mallin oletuksia. Itseohjautuvuusarvojen ja turvallisuusarvojen samanaikainen vahvistuminen 2010-luvulla ei myöskään sovi vallitseviin teorioihin, mutta olisi selitettävissä yksilöllisten ja kansallisarvojen vuorovaikutuksen avulla. Kirjallisuuden tarkastelusta johdettiin myöhempää tutkimusta varten oletus, että kansallinen identiteetti voi vaihdella reflektiivisyydeltään ja suomalainen identiteetti saattaisi sijoittua reflektiivisyysasteikon yläpäähän, mitä selittäisi koulutus yhteisenä arvona sekä Suomen virallinen kaksikielisyys.

Ymmärrysongelmat ja vuorovaikutustaitojen opettaminen lievästi autististen varhaisnuorten kuntoutuskeskusteluissa
Authors: Wiklund Mari , Stevanovic Melisa
Published: January 2025

Autististen henkilöiden on tunnetusti vaikeaa asettua toisen asemaan. Täten heidän on myös vaikeaa ymmärtää toisten mielentiloja ja vuorovaikutuksellisia päämääriä sekä tehdä päätelmiä niiden perusteella. Vaikeus asettua toisen asemaan näkyy siksi myös keskustelun tasolla. Autististen henkilöiden on esimerkiksi vaikeaa ymmärtää vuorovaikutuksen implisiittisiä vihjeitä, heillä on taipumusta ymmärtää asiat kirjaimellisesti, ja heidän puheensa saattaa poukkoilla aiheesta toiseen. He saattavat myös vastata kysymykseen tarpeettoman yksityiskohtaisesti tai sitten vastata vain siihen, mitä heiltä kirjaimellisesti on kysytty. Myös aiheen vierestä vastaaminen on tavallista. Nämä tekijät voivat myös aiheuttaa ymmärrysongelmatilanteita autististen henkilöiden vuorovaikutuksessa.
Tässä artikkelissa pyrin nostamaan esiin erilaisia esimerkkejä siitä, kuinka toisen asemaan asettumisen vaikeus konkreettisesti heijastuu autististen henkilöiden vuorovaikutukseen. Toisaalta tuon esille myös tapauksia, jotka osoittavat, että vaikka toisen asemaan asettuminen on autistisille henkilöille yleisesti ottaen vaikeaa, toisinaan he kuitenkin pystyvät siihen.
Aineisto tulee autenttisista kuntoutuskeskusteluista, joissa 11–13-vuotiaat lievästi autistiset pojat keskustelevat toistensa ja kuntouttajiensa kanssa. Menetelmällisesti tutkimus nojautuu keskustelunanalyysiin.
Tutkitussa aineistossa sanotun kirjaimellinen ymmärtäminen vaikuttaisi olevan kaikkein yleisin syy ymmärrysongelmien syntyyn (45,8 %). Myös topikaalisista hyppäyksistä aiheutuvat ymmärrysongelmat ovat yleisiä (36,1 %). Keskustelunanalyysin keinojen avulla pystytään kuvaamaan, kuinka ongelmatilanteet tarkalleen ottaen syntyvät, ja kuinka ne ratkaistaan.
Ryhmäohjauksen vuorovaikutusmekanismit vertaistuen kokemusten taustalla

Published: January 2025

Vertaistuki on todettu vaikuttavaksi keinoksi edistää interventioiden vaikuttavuutta. Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan vertaistukea vuorovaikutusprosessien mikrotasolla keskustelunanalyyttisen, vertailevan tapaustutkimuksen avulla. Aineisto koostuu viiden pienyrittäjänaisten vertaisryhmäprosessien videoinneista. Näiden strukturoitujen, ratkaisukeskeisten ryhmien tarkoitus oli edistää osallistujien työkykyä ja terveellisten elintapojen omaksumista. Vuorovaikutusanalyysin pohjana on yhden ryhmän osallistujien selvästi muita vähäisemmät kokemukset saamastaan vertaistuesta ohjauksen lopuksi toteutetussa kyselyssä. Analyysin kautta pyrimme ymmärtämään, mitkä ryhmäohjauksen vuorovaikutuksen ilmiöt voisivat liittyä ryhmäläisten kokemusten erilaisuuteen. Huomiomme kohdistuu tapoihin, joilla osallistujat osoittavat keskinäistä myötätuntoa ja ymmärrystä.
Tulokset osoittavat, että vahva orientaatio kunkin ryhmäläisen tilanteen yksitellen käsittelemiseen hankaloittaa ryhmäläisten keskinäistä spontaania kommentointia. Vuoron ottaminen toisen ryhmäläisen tilanteen käsittelyn aikana vaatii erityistä vuorovaikutuksellista työtä. Jos ryhmäläiset eivät ole valmiita aktiivisesti rikkomaan ohjauksen rakennetta, mahdollisuudet tuottaa myötätuntoa ja ymmärrystä osoittavia responsseja ovat rajalliset. Tällöin ohjaan keinot luoda paikkoja ryhmäläisten keskinäiselle kokemusten jakamiselle korostuvat. Tulokset korostavat hienojakoisten vuorovaikutusmekanismien ymmärtämisen merkitystä intervention vaikuttavuuden arvioinnissa.
Ohjauksen vuorovaikutuskäytänteet työterveystarkastuksissa: vertailu ennen koulutusinterventiota ja sen jälkeen
Authors: Weiste Elina , Vehviläinen Sanna , Leino Timo , Laitinen Jaana
Published: January 2025

Säännölliset terveystarkastukset ovat työterveyshuollon keskeinen toimintatapa. Vuosittain Suomessa tehdäänkin yli miljoona työterveystarkastusta. Niiden tavoitteena on työhön liittyvien sairauksien ja oireiden ehkäisy ja työntekijän terveyden ja työkyvyn tukeminen. Tämän tutkimuksen aineisto on hankkeesta, jossa työterveyshoitajia koulutettiin käyttämään motivoivan ohjauksen periaatteita osana työterveystarkastuksia. Tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan keskustelunanalyysin keinoin, kuinka terveyteen ja työkykyyn liittyvistä suunnitelmista keskustellaan ennen ja jälkeen koulutusintervention: kuinka asiakkaan huolet nousevat keskusteluun ja miten suunnitelman kannalta relevantit seikat muotoillaan.
Ennen koulutusinterventiota työterveyshoitaja topikalisoi potentiaalisesti ongelmalliset seikan kysymällä ja asiakkaan vastauksen jälkeen siirtyi tyypillisesti neuvon antamiseen. Useimmissa tapauksissa neuvo annettiin usein motivoitumattomalle asiakkaalle. Intervention jälkeen, potentiaalisesti ongelmalliset seikat nostettiin edelleen esille pääasiassa kysymällä ja asiakkaan vastauksen jälkeen seurasi usein hoitajan neuvo. Neuvoissaan työterveyshoitajat ottivat kuitenkin aiempaa enemmän huomioon asiakkaan vastauksen. Neuvon paikalla työterveyshoitajat myös formuloivat asiakkaiden ongelmalliseksi kokemia tilanteita sekä evaluoivat ja validoivat asiakkaiden kuvaamia toimintatapoja. Motivoivan ohjauksen periaatteiden kouluttaminen näyttäisi siis tekevän neuvonnasta kohdennetumpaa ja asiakkaan kokemat ongelmat paremmin huomioivaa.

Published: January 2025

Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness 2 (MAIA-2) on 37 väittämästä koostuva kehotietoisuuden itsearviointimenetelmä. Tässä tutkimuksessa validoitiin suomennettu MAIA-2-mittari yleisväestöotoksessa (n = 285). Tutkimuksessa määritettiin mittarin faktorirakenne ja tutkittiin sen psykometrisiä ominaisuuksia. Tuloksia tarkasteltiin suhteessa MAIA-2-mittarin alkuperäistutkimuksiin sekä muissa maissa tehtyihin validointitutkimuksiin. Tilastollisina analyysimenetelminä käytettiin eksploratiivista ja konfirmatorista faktorianalyysia, Cronbachin alfakerrointa sekä Pearsonin tulomomenttikorrelaatiokerrointa. Sopivuusindeksin tasoa verrattiin aiempien validointitutkimusten ja alkuperäisvalidointien indekseihin sekä yleisesti hyväksyttäviin raja-arvoihin. Konvergentin ja divergentin validiteetin tarkastelussa verrokkimittareina olivat Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) ja Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Tutkimus vahvisti teorian mukaisen kahdeksanfaktorisen rakenteen suomenkielisessä MAIA-2-mittarissa. Cronbachin alfan arvot olivat kauttaaltaan hyväksyttäviä. MAIA-2:n faktoreiden ja verrokkimittareiden välisten korrelaatioiden tarkastelu tuki mittarin konvergenttia ja divergenttiä validiteettia. Mittarin psykometriset ominaisuudet osoittautuivat pääosin yhdenmukaisiksi muiden mittarin kieliversioiden validointitutkimusten kanssa. Suomenkielistä MAIA-2-mittaria voidaan pitää sisäisesti johdonmukaisena ja luotettavana kehotietoisuuden eri ulottuvuuksia mittaavana arviointimenetelmänä.
Koronaepidemian aiheuttamat kielteiset tunteet: luontokokemukset puskurina?
Authors: Salonen Kirsi Johanna , Korpela Kalevi , Hyvönen Katriina
Published: January 2025

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin koronapandemiasta johtuneen rajoitus- ja poikkeusajan alkuvaihetta (kevät 2020) ja selvitettiin, erosiko koronapandemiaan liittyvien kielteisten tunteiden (koronatunteet) voimakkuus kevään eri vaiheissa vastanneiden välillä. Lisäksi selvitettiin, oliko luontoulkoilulla yhteyttä koronatunteisiin ja miten koronatunteet olivat yhteydessä luontoyhteyteen ja luonnossa koettuihin vaikutuksiin. Osallistujista, jotka olivat 19–84-vuotiaita (n = 714), suurin oli naisia (85 %; keski-ikä 44 v). Aineiston analyysissa käytettiin määrällisiä (varianssi- ja regressioanalyysit) ja laadullisia (sisällönanalyysi) menetelmiä. Tulosten mukaan huolestuneisuus koronasta oli vähäisempää kevään lopussa kuin alussa vastanneiden joukossa. Luonnossa koettujen vaikutusten perusteella oli mahdollista erottaa ryhmät: luonnossa elpyjät ja tervehtyjät sekä luonnon vaikutukset ristiriitaisina kokevat. Luonnossa tervehtyjillä koronatunteet helpottuivat vahvemmin kuin elpyjillä ja ristiriitaisilla. Luontoulkoilu ja luontoyhteys selittivät koronatunteiden helpottumista, ja luontoyhteys muunsi luontoulkoilun ja koronatunteiden helpottumisen suhdetta.
Masennusoireista toivutaan, mutta toimintakyky korjaantuu hitaammin: seurantatutkimus avohoidon masennuspotilaista

Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin psykiatrisen erikoissairaanhoidon polikliinisten masennuspotilaiden masennusoireissa, toimintakyvyssä, elämänlaadussa ja psyykkisessä oireilussa tapahtuvia muutoksia kuuden kuukauden aikana. Tutkimusaineisto (N = 144) on kerätty masennuspotilaiden interventiotutkimuksesta (DepFuD) Kuopion yliopistollisesta sairaalasta vuosina 2015–2019. Tutkittavilla oli diagnosoitu masennustila tai toistuva masennus. Suurin osa oli naisia (N = 109). Keski-ikä otoksessa oli 34.4 vuotta. Mittareina käytettiin BDI-asteikkoa, CORE-OM-kyselyä ja SCL-90-oirekyselylomaketta, joita tarkasteltiin lähtötilanteessa (0 kk) ja seurannassa (6 kk). Toipuminen määriteltiin 6 kuukauden BDI-pisteiden perusteella käyttäen katkaisurajana < 13 pistettä. Tutkittavista 44 prosenttia toipui seurannan aikana. Ei-toipuneilla masennusoireilun (BDI) havaittiin olevan vakavampiasteista jo lähtötilanteessa, ja tämä ero kasvoi seurannassa. Toipuminen oli CORE-OM:n mukaan nopeinta oireissa ja ongelmissa ja vähäisempää elämänlaatuun sekä erityisesti toimintakykyyn liittyvillä osa-alueilla. Myös psyykkistä oireilua (SCL-90) havaittiin enemmän ei-toipuneiden ryhmässä. Tutkimus osoittaa, että masennusoireet lievittyvät, mutta toimintakyky korjaantuu hitaammin. Siksi olisi tärkeää tunnistaa jo alkuvaiheessa ne potilaat, joiden toipuminen ei käynnisty toivotulla tavalla. Elämänlaatuun ja erityisesti toimintakykyyn kuuluviin osa-alueisiin tulisi kiinnittää enemmän huomiota.

Angiodisplasias del colon
Authors: Rodríguez-Wong Ulises , Rodríguez-Medina Ulises , Feria-Rojas Jorge
Published: January 2025

Las angiodisplasias del colon son anomalías vasculares caracterizadas por una red de vasos sanguíneos dilatados en la mucosa y submucosa del intestino grueso. Estas malformaciones se deben a alteraciones en los vasos que provocan su expansión y fragilidad, haciéndolos propensos al sangrado. Las angiodisplasias son especialmente comunes en personas mayores y se consideran una de las principales causas de sangrado gastrointestinal en esta población.
Aunque las angiodisplasias pueden desarrollarse en cualquier sección del tracto gastrointestinal, la mayoría se localizan en el colon derecho, principalmente en el ciego y el colon ascendente. Se diferencian de otros trastornos gastrointestinales por su relación con el envejecimiento y enfermedades crónicas.
Las angiodisplasias pueden ser asintomáticas, descubriéndose durante estudios de imagen o endoscopias realizadas por otras razones, o sintomáticas cuando causan sangrado. Este puede ser intermitente o leve, provocando anemia crónica que reduce la calidad de vida del paciente, o agudo y grave, poniendo en riesgo la estabilidad hemodinámica del paciente y requiriendo atención urgente.
Dado que el diagnóstico de angiodisplasias del colon depende en gran medida de técnicas como la colonoscopia, la identificación y el tratamiento han mejorado significativamente en las últimas décadas. Los avances en las terapias endoscópicas han permitido tratar las lesiones de manera eficaz, aunque en casos severos o recurrentes puede ser necesario el empleo de medicamentos específicos o, en casos extremos, la cirugía está indicada.
Real-time single-pixel video imaging based on deep learning
Authors: Wei Ziran , Zhang Jianlin , Du Wei , Wang Zhiruo
Published: January 2025

The emergence of compressed sensing (CS) theory has enabled the development of single-pixel cameras that achieve high-resolution imaging using a single photodetector. However, traditional CS reconstruction algorithms require significant computational time and face an inherent trade-off between imaging resolution and frame rate, limiting current single-pixel cameras to static scene imaging. A key challenge lies in achieving real-time single-pixel imaging with both high frame rate and high resolution. This paper proposes a real-time single-pixel imaging technology based on deep learning. We design a deep convolutional neural network architecture incorporating residual networks to simulate the measurement and reconstruction process of CS-based single-pixel imaging. The network is trained on an image dataset and subsequently deployed for single-pixel imaging. The trained network can complete image reconstruction at a low sampling rate with minimal latency, enabling real-time single-pixel video capture at 128×128 resolution with 33 frames per second (fps) at a 4\% sampling rate. Furthermore, we implement a four-channel parallel signal processing method to achieve real-time single-pixel imaging video at 256×256 resolution at 33 fps.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of the study was to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of parents with children who have intellectual disabilities (ID) regarding special education and inclusive education programming. The study employed a qualitative approach that involved semi-structured interviews with four parents of children with intellectual disability who are attending private and public special education schools in Saudi Arabia. The findings indicate parents have diverse and generally positive opinions regarding different aspects of the education and educational services their children who have intellectual disability. Through the coding and analysis of their responses to the 20 interview questions, four themes emerged, which were: Information and Knowledge About Special Education and Inclusion, Communication, the Individualized Education Program (IEP), and Assessment and Instruction. The parents also indicated a desire for stronger communication practices between school and home to better support their students with disabilities. Based on the results, it is recommended that further research on the communication processes between school personnel and parents/caretakers be conducted to identify best practices for achieving good communication for the benefit of students with intellectual disabilities.

Technostress and its Impact on the Job Performance of Teachers
Authors: Valiao Adryan
Published: January 2025

In the context of rapid technological advancements and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this study investigates the impact of technostress on the job satisfaction and performance of 100 faculty members from a private higher education institution in Bacolod City. Using a descriptive survey research design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire. The study examined five dimensions of technostress: Techno-Overload, Techno-Complexity, Techno-Insecurity, Techno-Invasion, and Techno-Uncertainty. Results showed that despite experiencing high levels of technostress, faculty members reported very high job satisfaction and perceived improved performance due to integrating technology into their teaching practices. Analysis revealed no significant differences in technostress levels, job satisfaction, or performance based on sex, teaching experience, or department, highlighting a shared experience across all demographics. The study emphasizes the resilience of faculty in adapting to rapid technological changes, showcasing their ability to maintain high levels of job satisfaction and performance amidst the challenges of digital transformation. However, it recommends targeted institutional strategies, such as regular training, enhanced technological support, and stress management programs, to mitigate the effects of technostress and sustain high levels of satisfaction and performance. These findings underline the importance of proactive measures to support educators in a digitally intensive educational landscape, ensuring their well-being and long-term professional development

I begin by discussing two scenarios involving independent light bulbs. I then consider extensions of these scenarios in which the states of light bulbs depend upon the states of other light bulbs. Given the discussion of these various scenarios, I argue that there is a challenging question for those who wish to make use of patchwork principles: if the scenarios that we duplicate involve successful execution of dispositions, can there be failure of execution of those dispositions in the patchworked scenarios? In the last two parts of the paper, I apply the earlier discussion to the argument against bounded non-well-founded sequences of time intervals given in Koons (2014), and to the argument against causal finitism given in Pruss (2018).

AS MÁSCARAS ENTRE A PROIBIÇÃO E A OBRIGATORIEDADE: DIREITO, VIOLÊNCIA E SUBJETIVIDADE
Authors: Ávila Raphael Ferreira de
Published: January 2025

This article outlines considerations on the exercise of democracy and citizenship in Brazil based on bans on the use of masks and other means of covering one's identity during public demonstrations. These bans, a response of the State to the acts that occurred from the "June days" of 2013, associate the use of masks in the midst of such protests with the actions of "vandalism" through anonymity. We seek to address the limits to the effectiveness of law and justice focusing on the effects of the ban on civil rights and citizens' behavior, analyzing the subversive positions of the protesters and the consequences of the curtailment of freedoms on the eve of the 2014 and 2016 "mega-events" in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We contrast this ban to the subsequent mandatory use of masks for personal protection during the Coronavirus pandemic. Attentive both to the violence of the protests and to the violence that occurs against citizens on a daily basis, through public institutions such as the police and the ineffectiveness of laws in the face of justice, we conclude by outlining criticism of how the management of the right produces effects of subjectivity production, highlighting elements that help in the (re)construction of discourses that enable other modes of insertion in the plots of current society.
VOLATILIDADE NÃO É RISCO, REPENSANDO OS FUNDAMENTOS DA GESTÃO DE RISCO NO MERCADO FINANCEIRO (VOLATILITY IS NOT RISK, RETHINKING THE FUNDAMENTALS OF RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE FINANCIAL MARKET)
Authors: Costa Rafael da Silva
Published: January 2025

Resumo: Este artigo revisita o conceito tradicional de risco no mercado financeiro, propondo uma redefinição fundamentada na visão de que risco não é sinônimo de volatilidade, mas sim a probabilidade de perda permanente de capital. Baseando-se na Teoria Moderna de Portfólio de Harry Markowitz e complementada pelas reflexões de autores como Howard Marks e Daniel Kahneman, o trabalho questiona a eficácia de métricas convencionais, como o desvio-padrão e o beta, que frequentemente falham em capturar eventos extremos e riscos estruturais. A volatilidade, amplamente utilizada como principal indicador de risco, é desmistificada ao longo do artigo, demonstrando-se suas limitações na identificação de ameaças reais aos portfólios. Além disso, o artigo explora a relevância das finanças comportamentais para a gestão de risco, destacando como vieses cognitivos, como a aversão à perda e o viés de otimismo, podem influenciar negativamente as decisões dos investidores, levando a escolhas que ampliam a exposição ao risco. O trabalho enfatiza a importância de uma gestão de risco abrangente, baseada na diversificação, análise fundamentalista e controle da exposição. Essas estratégias permitem uma abordagem mais holística e eficaz, alinhada à preservação do capital e à resiliência frente às incertezas do mercado. Por fim, o artigo conclui com uma chamada à ação para que investidores e gestores reconsiderem a maneira como avaliam e gerenciam riscos. A frase que sintetiza essa nova perspectiva é contundente: “Volatilidade não é risco; risco é a probabilidade de perda permanente de capital”. Essa redefinição oferece um caminho para decisões mais conscientes, sustentáveis e alinhadas com objetivos de longo prazo.

The growing urgency of addressing environmental challenges has propelled the concepts of circular economy and green marketing to the forefront of sustainable business strategies. This paper explores their synergistic potential in fostering zero-waste consumerism, emphasizing the shift from the traditional linear economic model of "take, make, dispose" to a regenerative framework that prioritizes resource efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainability. Circular economy principles advocate for designing out waste, keeping materials in use, and regenerating natural systems, while green marketing focuses on promoting environmentally friendly products and practices to align with consumer values.This study examines the integration of these concepts, highlighting successful strategies employed by businesses to minimize ecological footprints while maintaining profitability and consumer satisfaction. It delves into innovative practices such as eco-design, product lifecycle extension, and closed-loop supply chains, showcasing how green marketing can effectively communicate these efforts to environmentally conscious consumers.The paper also addresses key challenges, including regulatory barriers, consumer skepticism, and the trade-offs between environmental and economic goals. By analyzing case studies, current trends, and policy frameworks, this review identifies actionable insights for businesses aiming to adopt circular and green marketing practices.Ultimately, the findings underscore the transformative potential of these approaches in driving systemic change toward zero-waste consumerism. The integration of circular economy principles with effective green marketing not only enhances brand loyalty but also contributes to global sustainability goals. This review advocates for collaborative efforts among businesses, policymakers, and consumers to realize the vision of a zero-waste future, thereby fostering a sustainable and resilient economy.

Introduction: Obesity is a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation, and its prevalence continues to rise each year. This condition is associated with changes in cholesterol levels. Obese patients often fail to reduce their body weight (BW) through diet management only. Salak Pondoh peel extract (EPP) contains bioactive compounds with potential anti-obesity effects and the ability to improve hypercholesterolemia.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Low Carbohydrate Diet (LCD) and EPP on body weight, obesity index, cholesterol levels, and visceral fat massin male Wistar rats with obesity and dyslipidemia.Methods: Thirty male Wistar rats were used in this study, which aged five weeks old and weighed 100-150 g. They were randomized and divided into six groups. Rats in negative control (NC), positive control (PC), and treatment groups (T1-3) were induced by feeding ahigh-fat high fructose (HFHFr) for 28 days, whilenormal(N) group received standard food throughout the study. During treatment periods, NC groupreceived an LCDanddistilledwaterwithouttreatment, PC group received an LCD and orlistat, T1-3 were given an LCD combined with 150, 300 and600mg/kgBW/day. The data were analyzed using repeated measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), One-Way ANOVA, and Bonferroni post hoc tests.Results: After 28 days of intervention, we observed that LCD+150 mg/kg BW/day of EPP significantly reduced obesity index (p<0.001) and has the lowest of visceral fat mass compared to other treatment groups, whereas LCD+ 300 mg/kg BW/ day of EPP significantly reduced body weight (p=0.019), and cholesterol levels (p=0.043). Conclusions: The combination of a low-carbohydrate diet and Salak Pondoh peel extract demonstrates significant potential as a natural alternative therapyfor obesity and dyslipidemia.

Authors: G Tirupati , Prasad MHM Krishna , Rao P Srinivasa
Published: January 2025

Introduction: The nonlinear behaviour of activation functions is vital in Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for exploring the complex relationship between the input and output features. However, these are probably going to encounter vanishing gradient problems due to small gradients that lead to training instability, expensive exponent operations, and slow convergence. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to develop Taylor expansion of the second order to realize the hyperbolic tangent and sigmoid functions. In particular, long short term memory network make extensive use of these functions as well as gating mechanism to control the flow of information and gradients. Both the custom functions can reduce the vanishing gradient issues in recurrent neural networks. Methods: Taylor expansion hyperbolic tangent and sigmoid activation functions based parallel heterogeneous Long Short Term Memory Network integrated with Bayesian hyperparameter Optimization is being proposed for coronavirus multi step time series prediction. a Min-Max Normalization is applied, which produces scaled data in the range (0, 1). The normalized dataset is partitioned into training and testing datasets, with 80% and 20%, respectively. Furthermore, both train and test datasets are prepared as input and target series using a window size of 5-7.The further proposed model is tuned with key hyperparameters such as the number of neurons, learning rate, dropout, and type of optimizer. The remaining model parameters are epochs, batch size, and loss, which are 200, 32, and mean square error, respectively. Results: The proposed model efficacy is evaluated on coronavirus daily cumulative cases, cumulative deaths, daily new cases, and total recovery cases in India. The Analysis reveals that the current model achieves remarkable performance in terms of Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and Coefficient of determination (R2 Score) when compared to existing models. Conclusions: The study reveals that the proposed framework with the Taylor approximation activation function produces more consistency in prediction than the default activation functions, including Tanh and sigmoid. In spite of that, gradients of Taylor Tanh and sigmoid activation function traits indicate a decline in the possibility of vanishing issue.

One of the acceptable forms in which the medical profession may be practiced is within the framework of an employment relationship. Often, this may lead to a conflict between the employer's order and the statutory directives that every doctor should follow when undertaking professional activity. Their source may be the employer's orders, usually appearing against the background of the economic profit and loss account.  The key to solving this problem is to establish a desired pattern of conduct that significantly limits the scope of duties of a doctor under an employment relationship, in conditions of the employee's subordination to the employer. Proper reconstruction of the pattern allows us to come closer to answering the question whether the provision of health services in the manner desired by the employer does not lead to its violation. In effect, the aim is to counteract the potential risk of a doctor exposing himself to professional, civil or criminal liability.
Glosa do wyroku Sądu Apelacyjnego w Szczecinie z dnia 29 grudnia 2014 r. I ACa 393/14 – wina organizacyjna zakładu leczniczego

The gloss refers to the judgment of the Court of Appeal in Szczecin dated December 29, 2014, in a case concerning the plaintiff’s infection with the HCV virus during a hospital stay. In this case, the courts had to address issues of the medical facility’s tort liability, based on medical records, expert opinions, and testimonies. The main issue was the possibility of infection occurring at the hospital and potential negligence by the medical staff. The Court of Appeal's ruling relied on the application of the so-called anonymous fault and the prima facie evidence doctrine. However, procedural analysis raises certain doubts regarding the establishment of the hospital's liability. The gloss highlights significant issues related to hospital-acquired infections, including the evidentiary difficulties that arise in medical cases. It criticizes the fact that the court largely relied on factual presumption, without concrete evidence of negligence by the medical staff.
Wybrane aspekty prawne macierzyństwa zastępczego

Despite decades of debates on the moral and legal permissibility of surrogate motherhood, it remains a controversial practice with significantly diversified national regulations. The aim of this article is to discuss the issue of surrogacy through the prism of existing legal solutions, with particular emphasis on Polish law. Surrogacy is an arrangement in which the surrogate becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child for another person(s) — so-called intentional parent(s). Critics of surrogacy argue that economic coercion remains the main motive for surrogate mother’s decisions to participate in the arrangement, leaving them at risk of exploitation, abuse, and commercialization of both the female body and the children themselves. Pro-surrogacy scholars and activists tent to emphasize the altruistic motivations of surrogate mothers, the impact of surrogacy on reproductive justice (e.g. among queer individuals) as well as the postulate of looking at surrogacy through the prism of the bonds formed between parties involved.
Three basic types of legal regulations regarding surrogacy may be distinguished: the permissibility of both altruistic and commercial surrogacy (e.g. Ukraine), the prohibition of commercial surrogacy with the simultaneous permissibility of altruistic surrogacy (e.g. Great Britain and Israel), and a complete ban of all forms of surrogacy (e.g. Germany). Poland remains one of the countries where no surrogacy solutions have been introduced so far. This lack of legislation should be assessed negatively as it poses a threat to all actors involved in the surrogacy process, including children born as a result of surrogacy arrangement. While introducing such regulations, both the experience of countries with various forms of surrogacy regulations and the transnational context should be taken into account. The legislator should also distinguish the comprehensive nature of surrogacy and the need to create a nuanced solution that will combine the issue of socio-economic coercion and the protection of surrogate mothers with the experiences of surrogate mothers themselves, including full recognition of their agency.

Authors: Joseph-Ouni Mehdi , Vander Schouw Paul , Frewer Jay , McCord William , Uhrig Dennis
Published: January 2025

The Pleurodiran turtle family Pelomedusidae includes only two extant but speciose genera, Pelusios and Pelomedusa, both of which also succeed fossil record taxa with moderate representation. The Division of Vertebrate Zoology, Yale Peabody Museum, located in New Haven, Connecticut, United States of America, currently houses 68 specimens of recent pelomedusid turtle. Here we review and describe the specimens comprising this collection and correct several species identifications under the light of modern taxonomy, with each illustrated where possible. Based on morphology and specific collection locality data we can confirm the distribution records of some species through these vouchered specimens where their presence was previously only assumed.
