Concomitant moyamoya syndrome and infratentorial arteriovenous malformation in a neurofibromatosis type 1 patient: a case report
Authors: Ko Eunbuel , Hwang Il-Jung , Kim Jung-Woo , Lee Ju-Suck , Jung Dar-Eun , Yoo Sang-Won
Published: June 2023

Background: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder with diverse phenotypic manifestations. Cerebral vasculopathy is one of the multisystem involvements often overlooked unless symptomatic. Case Report: A 28-year-old male patient with prolonged NF1 complained of right-hand position-specific rhythmic tremor after surviving an ipsilateral cerebellar arteriovenous malformation (AVM) hemorrhagic transformation. Not only did he suffer rupture of the infratentorial vasculopathy but he also endured asymmetric supratentorial occlusive vessel changes in Moyamoya syndrome. Due to contralateral limb clumsiness, his right hemispheric vasculature was revascularized by encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis 13 years before the AVM rupture.Conclusion: This case report describes exceptional NF1 CNS involvement where the cerebral vasculature had concomitant Moyamoya syndrome and unilateral cerebellar AVM in a single patient. Cerebral vasculopathy should be surveyed and adequately addressed during the follow-up of chronic NF1, as it can cause irreversible sequelae or can be life-threatening.
educação depois da pandemia
Authors: Demarchi João Lorandi
Published: June 2023

Este artigo parte do sentido etimológico de crise sugerido por Marilena Chaui para ressaltar o momento de decisão no campo da educação causa pela pandemia, principalmente a partir da larga adoção do método de ensino híbrido. Conforme o referencial teórico, é defendida a tese de que esse método se alinha ao neoliberalismo, adequando a formação dos alunos à ideologia do mercado e das grandes empresas de tecnologia. Embora os idealizadores do ensino híbrido apresentem críticas pertinentes ao modelo hegemônico de educação, alinhando-se inclusive às concepções de Paulo Freire, a sua proposta contribui para aumentar a desigualdade social uma vez que desconsidera as condições de estudos dos alunos. O objetivo do artigo é explicitar as concepções e as teorias que fundamentam o ensino híbrido para provocar a reflexão sobre as possíveis consequências que ele traz para a sociedade e como ele nega a educação como um direito social.

Unilateralismo y negociación colectiva en la administración pública
Authors: Balbín Torres Edgardo
Published: June 2023

El presente trabajo pretende llamar la atención sobre un segmento de las relaciones laborales que, no obstante evidenciar el despliegue de prácticas autoritarias sobre un número muy importante de trabajadores, ha sido abordado muy pocas veces en los estudios de Derecho Laboral. El tema, ciertamente, conforma una no tan reciente deuda que la doctrina nacional mantiene con un sector de trabajadores cuya sujeción, más allá de cualquier límite admitido por el modelo de Estado social y democrático imperante, conlleva la privación de su condición efectiva de ciudadanos. Esperamos que este trabajo contribuya a saldar en una pequeña parte dicha deuda.

Applying the Psychological of Space in Islamic Boarding School (Case Study: Pesantren Al Mahshyar Nurul Iman)
Authors: Fitriani Reza Amalia , Murdowo Djoko , Liritantri Widyanesti
Published: June 2023

Adolescents have different psychological conditions and spend a lot of time in boarding schools because they must live in Islamic boarding schools where many rules and activities must be followed. The research method used in this case study is a qualitative method which consists of a survey, literature review, and data analysis. A spatial approach is taken to "read" the user of space in understanding the spaces that trigger negative psychological conditions. Negative psychological conditions were understood through interviews and literature studies. The Pesantren Al Mahsyar Nurul Iman case study has students aged 12-15 years. At the Pesantren Al Mahsyar Nurul Iman, it is necessary to pay attention to things that are based on the character and psychology of the students to create a calming, comfortable and safe environment for students who are experiencing cognitive development and changes in psychological conditions, so that students can feel at home and become more comfortable which can be taken into consideration in the design of the next pesantren. These conditions can be done by paying attention to the privacy area, creating stimulant and calming visual concepts and adding facilities to study rooms and communal areas to support the character of students who like to explore and do group activities.
The Collaboration Between Space Form and Islamic Cultural Rituals on the Cultural Landscape Pattern of Cirebon City
Authors: Rosmalia Dini , Dewiyanti Dhini
Published: June 2023

There is a collaboration between spatial forms and Islamic (Javanese) cultural rituals in Cirebon city, which has the potential to shape the uniqueness of the cultural landscape. The research object is the Kanoman Sultanate which conducts the annual ritual, 'M(a)uludan' tradition. The aim is to describe the collaboration between the physical forms of the Keraton Kanoman and the M (a)uludan Tradition, which is the Islamic or Javanese culture. This involved using the qualitative description method through cultural participation for a period of 8 years. The results showed the existence of an imaginary space formation strung together by the presence of residents from 31 villages as followers (wargi) of the Keraton Kanoman. Moreover, the spatial form of the ritual route was discovered to have been formed for several generations. The people strongly believe that the presence and involvement of these routes can bring them virtue, blessings, prosperity, as well as protection from misfortune. This research argues that the imaginary space forms were created by these cultural events.
Association Between Intimate Partner Violence and Depression in Peruvian Pregnant Women: A Secondary Analysis of the ENDES 2013–2019
Authors: Benites-Meza Jerry K , Herrera-Añazco Percy , Castañeda Álvarez Jane Ysabel , Mougenot Benoit , Benites-Zapata Vicente A.
Published: June 2023

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is common during pregnancy and can have adverse mental health outcomes in women. Our objective was to evaluate the association between IPV and symptoms of depression in Peruvian pregnant women.

Methods: In this study, we performed a secondary analysis of the Demographic and Family Health Survey, ENDES 2013–2019. The study population consisted of a subsample of married or cohabiting Peruvian pregnant women. IPV was defined as any reported violence (psychological, physical, or sexual) committed by the last partner of women. The symptoms of depression were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Poisson regression-generalized linear models were used to calculate adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).

Results: Overall IPV was 11.64%. The prevalence of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV was 6.92%, 8.56%, and 1.12%, respectively. After adjusting for confounding variables, IPV was associated with the symptoms of depression (aPR: 2.26, 95% CI: 1.88–2.73;p< 0.001). Likewise, psychological, physical, and sexual violence were also associated with the symptoms of depression (aPR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.65–2.50;p< 0.001, aPR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.91–2.86;p< 0.001, aPR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.45–3.68;p<0.001).

Conclusion: One in 10 pregnant women experienced IPV, the most frequent type being physical violence. One in four pregnant women experiences depressive disorders. Furthermore, the presence of psychological, physical, or sexual violence independently doubles the probability of the occurrence of depression in Peruvian pregnant women.

Authors: Giesbrecht Crystal J. , Edmonds Tess F. , Bowns Ava J. , Jason Priyanka , Bruer Kaila C.
Published: June 2023

This qualitative study explores available intimate partner violence (IPV) intervention programs offered in Saskatchewan, Canada, a province with a substantial rural population and a high rate of IPV. Given these unique circumstances, it was necessary to investigate what IPV interventions are currently available and if professionals who work at these programs feel these programs are effectively meeting the needs of men who have perpetrated IPV and working toward reducing rates of IPV in the province. Interview respondents represented IPV intervention programs based in mental health, community corrections, and community-based organizations. Taken together, information shared by the professionals who work at these IPV intervention programs provides an overview of the current state of intervention programs offered in Saskatchewan, including the extent to which interventions align with the Principles of Effective Intervention (PEI). Findings include differences in the delivery of IPV interventions in rural communities and highlight challenges in delivering group interventions for clients who perpetrate different types of IPV, have different criminogenic needs, and have varying levels of risk. Findings inform recommendations for policy and practice, including the need for training for IPV intervention professionals, increased public awareness about IPV interventions, and incorporation of the PEI. Findings also inform recommendations for research, including longitudinal evaluations of outcomes for participants from various programs that incorporate data from multiple sources.

¿Muerte voluntaria en Erecteo de Eurípides?
Authors: Fernández Alejandro Miguel
Published: June 2023

En el presente artículo analizaremos los motivos combinados del suicidio y del sacrificio humano por la salvación de la pólis en la tragedia fragmentaria Erecteo de Eurípides, perteneciente al último cuarto del s. V a. C. Sin ignorar las dificultades que plantea la naturaleza del tipo de fuente en este caso, nuestro propósito es evidenciar la compleja mirada del dramaturgo ateniense sobre dichos temas en una obra que revela la imposibilidad de conciliar las visiones antagónicas respecto del sacrificio voluntario. Con ello, procuramos poner en evidencia la existencia de una problemática conceptual y plantear algunos interrogantes acerca de la muerte voluntaria que trascienden la Antigüedad.
Invocar a la Musa: ritualidad y sabiduría en la antigua épica griega
Authors: García Pérez David
Published: June 2023

Los prólogos de los poemas de la épica griega arcaica presentan rasgos de ritualidad y de sabiduría que marcan la pauta de la creación, emisión y recepción de los temas y tópicos que abordan respectivamente la Ilíada, la Odisea, la Teogonía y Los trabajos y los días. Tales rasgos forman parte de un ritual mediante el cual se traza una línea de emisión y de recepción que inicia con la invocación a la Musa hecha por el aedo, quien funge como mediador entre lo divino y lo humano. En este sentido, el artículo expone algunos elementos de la ritualidad en los prólogos de los poemas de Homero y de Hesíodo que se centran en la materia tratada en la relación entre la Musa, el aedo y el auditorio, específicamente el tópico del conocimiento.

A educação patrimonial na escola: a reprodução de obras de arte como referência para a construção social do patrimônio
Authors:   https://econtents.bc.unicamp.br/eventos/index.php/eha/article/view/4578, Coelho Marcelo Amaral
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma proposta de reflexão onde a Educação Patrimonial en-contre seu espaço na escola através da Arte de forma que possa contribuir na apropriação do patri-mônio enquanto prática de construção social. O texto tomou formaa partir de uma metodologia que primou pela leitura de autores-referências na área e também com a observação participante em sala de aula. Estabeleceram-se como referenciais teóricos a orientar a pesquisa os seguintes autores: M. L. P. Horta et al.(1999)com seu pioneirismo e reflexões quanto à Educação patrimonial; T. S. Franz (2001) que pensa o contato com a Arte por meio da familiarização com as reproduções; M. C. L. Fonseca (2005) e seu conceito do patrimônio como um processo de referências culturais;A. M. Barbosa (1995) com visão de ensino artístico mediante uma abordagem triangular (conhecer, refletir e fazer). E ainda a Carta de Petrópolis(IPHAN, 1987) é o documento a sustentar o patrimônio como construção social. As reproduções de obras de arte podem funcionar como referências para discussões sobre a forma como lidar com o patrimônio e até mesmo suas possíveis recriações. Ocorrendo o que Fonseca (2005) denomina como ‘ressemantização’ do patrimônio. Ainda a aproximação entre o ensino de Arte e a Educação Patrimonial pode abrir espaço para os conteúdos transversais e o diálogo entre as disciplinas. Sem contar a própria ressignificação das práticas de ensino artístico e da História da Arte dentro da escola. É esperado com este texto que o espaço do patrimônio em sala de aula seja conquistado pela Educação Patrimonial e o espaço da sala de aula no patrimônio possa ser dimensionado pelo ensino artístico. E assim, com aEducação Patrimonial na escola, a reprodução de obras de arte se constitua como referência para a construção social do patrimônio.

O desenho ornamental brasileiro e a arqueologia: entre a cópia, a adaptação e a reinterpretação
Authors:   Universidade Federal de Goiás, Godoy Patrícia Bueno
Published: June 2023

Em A gramática do ornamento, Owen Jones (1809-1874) expôs suas considerações em relação à superioridade do ornamento de uma tribo selvagem em relação aos ornamentos das nações civilizadas. Estas, segundo o autor, enfraqueceram as formas herdadas pela constante repetição, diferentemente das tribos selvagens que, graças ao seu instinto natural, apresentam sempre um ornamento verdadeiro, “fiel ao seu propósito”. Jones, como outros reformistas europeus do século XIX, solicitou o retorno aos estudos dos princípios da decoração, legando ao ornamento um papel importante para a formação do modernismo em alguns países da Europa. No Brasil, essa discussão foi sentida e divulgada por artistas que, após período de estudos no continente europeu, tentaram implantar ações voltadas para o ensino do desenho e das artes decorativas no despontar do século XX.

Buffoni imigrou para o Brasil em 1953, vindo de Milão, onde trabalhava com design gráfico e publicidade. O artista veio ao Brasil com um plano inicial de permanecer apenas um ano, mas encontrou aqui boas oportunidades de trabalho, que o fizeram permanecer até o ano de sua morte, em 1989.
São Paulo, o largo da memória e seus azulejos decorativos
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Monezzi Renata Poliana Cezar
Published: June 2023

Conhecido como o Largo da Memória, o logradouro formado pela antiga Ladeira dos Piques está localizado próximo ao Vale do Anhangabaú e abriga um dos monumentos mais antigos da cidade de São Paulo: o Obelisco dos Piques. Trata-se de uma praça que contém esse importante marco arquitetônico e é formada pelo entronamento das antigas ruas Palha (atual Rua 07 de Abril), Xavier de Toledo e a Ladeira dos Piques (atual Quirino de Andrade). O primeiro projeto desse logradouro foi desenhado pelo engenheiro Daniel Pedro Müller em 1814. Nele, Müller procurou ressaltar a importância do local como entrada da cidade e espaço de parada dos antigos tropeiros e viajantes, construindo, assim, um pequeno chafariz e o obelisco que representava “a memória do zelo do bem público”.
A vida, o jogo e a arte: a perspectiva de Johan Huizinga sobre o elemento lúdico na cultura no século XX
Authors:   Universidade Federal de São Paulo, Lopes Renato Ferreira
Published: June 2023

Um grupo de arquitetos e artistas em atividade entre 1957 e o início dos anos 70 definiu suas atividades enquanto construção de situações. A proposta deste coletivo radicado na França que incluía a figura emblemática de Guy Debord e ficou conhecido como Internacional Situacionista entendia que a vida cotidiana poderia instigar paixões capazes de provocar um espírito lúdico no interior dos espaços urbanos, onde, apesar da repetição de hábitos, abre-se sempre um espaço para o aleatório, o incontrolável, o apaixonante. Foi dessa ideia que os situacionistas desenvolveram umas de suas formas lúdicas mais marcantes: as derivas. a velha arte de perambular pela cidade.
Teatro oficina: patrimônio, ativismo urbano e Artaud
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Machado Rogerio Marcondes
Published: June 2023

Por duas vezes, no Condephaat (órgão do Estado de São Paulo para preservação patrimonial) e, depois, no Iphan (órgão federal para preservação patrimonial), José Celso Martinez Corrêa, diretor do Teatro Oficina, solicitou o tombamento de sua sede para que a atividade artística do grupo pudesse ter continuidade. O que motivou esses processos foram os conflitos entre o Oficina e o Grupo Silvio Santos, proprietário dos terrenos em torno do teatro. Em 1997, quando se iniciava o segundo conflito, José Celso define o Teatro Oficina como “uma arquitetura específica, cercada por uma empresa de televisão, e onde se batalha dentro de certa qualidade estética” e prossegue: “O teatro passa a ser civilizador, como dizia Artaud” materializando “uma réplica à ordem liberal na sua geografia urbana, no seu estilo de interpretação, no seu repertório”, buscando “demonstrar que o teatro tem poder, que o homem pode mexer com as engrenagens”.
Um olhar sobre o I Salão Feminino de Arte de 1931
Authors:   Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Silva Thais Canfild da
Published: June 2023

O ano de 1931 foi emblemático por ter sido o marco de alguns eventos importantes no campo das artes no Brasil, entre eles a criação do Núcleo Bernardelli, grupo criado por pintores insatisfeitos com o ensino artístico da Escola Nacional de Belas Artes (ENBA) do Rio de Janeiro que se opunham ao método de ensino até então promovido pela escola, propondo sua reformulação, com objetivo de dar maior acesso a novos artistas no Salão Nacional de Belas Artes. Neste mesmo ano ocorreu o “Salão Revolucionário”, como ficou conhecido o Salão Nacional de Belas Artes de 1931, sob a organização de Lúcio Costa (1902-1998), contando pela primeira vez com a participação categórica dos modernistas e apresentando um cenário de transgressão ao espaço conhecidamente mais tradicional dos salões promovidos até então.

Falsificações e fraudes geológicas na construção de uma ciência íntegra, e situações criminosas relacionadas
Authors: Oliveira Adriana Fernandes Machado de
Published: June 2023

Introdução e Objetivo. Este ensaio apresenta um resumo do artigo Geological fakes and frauds por Ruffel, Majury & Brooks, publicado por Earth-Science Reviews em 2012 (doi: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2011.12.001). Metodologia. O artigo aborda fraudes e falsificações recorrentes na história da Geologia, dividindo as ocorrências em três grupos: (a) aspectos econômicos, como substituição e falsificação de gemas e pedras preciosas, mineração e extração de gás e petróleo; (b) razões estéticas e acadêmicas, principalmente na paleontologia; e (c) eventos históricos e arqueológicos. Dentre as principais motivações, estão: ganho financeiro, apelo estético e desenvolvimento acadêmico. Resultados. Tais práticas não são recentes, e trazem importantes reflexões sobre o papel da Geologia ao revelar as fraudes. O princípio da falseabilidade de Popper e o método científico são essenciais na compreensão de como as ciências lidam com tais situações. Em particular, os estudos geológicos utilizados na detecção das fraudes conferem maior credibilidade à Geologia como campo científico. Conclusão. Esperamos que seja possível adotar uma postura de ‘cinismo saudável’ com relação a relatos científicos, compreender melhor o processo de construção da Geologia como ciência e identificar situações suspeitas e criminosas nas ciências geológicas.

Sex disparity in the liver regeneration focusing on sex hormones
Authors: Lee Chanbin , Jung Youngmi
Published: June 2023

The liver is known as a sexually dimorphic organ because it has both androgen and estrogen receptors and responds to sex hormones. Specifically, the unique ability of the liver to regenerate is under the control of sex hormones. In human patients, liver recovery after resection occurs more quickly in women than in men. Accumulating evidence shows that change in the amount of sex hormones occurs quickly after partial hepatectomy (PHx) and impacts the expression of genes associated with liver regeneration. Increased estrogen promotes liver regeneration by regulating liver cell proliferation and energy metabolism, whereas estrogen depletion delays liver restoration. Implantation of estrogen in male mice with PHx improves liver regeneration. In addition, a few studies report that androgen is involved in enhancing liver regeneration, but its role in this process is not fully elucidated. This review briefly describes the change of estrogen and androgen during liver regeneration after PHx and discusses their feasible relevance to liver regeneration based on the results reported so far. Therefore, this review helps to improve our understanding of the sex-related physiological difference in liver restoration and develop a sex-specific therapeutic approach for liver regeneration.
Mechanical Properties of Uncured Thermoset Tow Prepreg: Experiment and Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Derakhshani Dastjerdi Mina , Carboni Massiomo , Hojjati Mehdi
Published: June 2023

In this paper, the tensile behavior of unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepreg is experimentally analyzed at varying loads and temperatures, focusing on the considerable nonlinearity at the beginning of the stress-strain curve. The high viscosity of this material presented difficulties in securely holding specimens during tensile testing. As a result, modifications were made to the conventional gripping method to enable the acquisition of reliable test data. Additionally, a longer gauge length was chosen to minimize the impact of slippage on the elastic modulus measurement. To support the experiment, a micromechanical model of a prepreg tow with fiber waviness is proposed. An RVE model of periodically distributed unidirectional waved cylindrical fibers embedded within the matrix is developed to predict the effective material stiffness parameters. Numerical results are presented for different amplitude-to-wavelength ratios which indicate the fiber waviness reduces the tensile modulus of the composite. The simulation results are in good agreement with the uniaxial tensile test of the prepreg tow.
The Role of Cebuano in the Global Linguistic Landscape: An Exploration of Its Internationalization
Authors: Eslit Edgar
Published: June 2023

In an increasingly interconnected world, the internationalization of languages plays a pivotal role in shaping global linguistic landscapes. This qualitative study delves into the intriguing realm of Cebuano, a language with a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant community of speakers. Through a meticulous exploration of language variation, adaptation, and policy dynamics, the researcher unravels the complex interplay between Cebuano and the global linguistic tapestry. Drawing upon a comprehensive literature review and qualitative research, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, this paper illuminates the nuanced manifestations of Cebuano beyond its traditional borders and sheds light on its presence in diverse international settings. The findings reveal the intricate dance of language and identity, offering insights into the processes of language maintenance, shift, and revitalization. As the researcher navigates the multifaceted dimensions of Cebuano's internationalization, not only is its global significance unraveled, but also the intricate connections between language, culture, and human experience are investigated. This study not only contributes to the scholarly discourse on language dynamics but also raises compelling questions about the preservation of linguistic diversity, the power of language in shaping identities, and the role of language in fostering intercultural understanding. By embracing the kaleidoscope of Cebuano's global journey, this paper invites readers to contemplate the broader implications for language diversity, communication, and cultural preservation in an increasingly interconnected world.

Advanced food processing techniques have drastic effects on the food, mainly on the nutritional profile; furthermore, the sedentary lifestyle led by people makes the body starve for nutrients and has a negative impact on proper growth and health. Addressing those major issues, various organic and functional foods have been widely recognised in recent times. The current work intends to prepare and evaluate a functional food made out of Aloe Vera. The health claims of Aloe Vera were uncountable. From the organoleptic profiling of the milk shake up to the 5% addition of Aloe Vera, all the sensory parameters were more satisfying. Incorporating Aloe Vera in the milkshake will be an innovative novel food product while enhancing the functional properties of Aloe Vera.

Background: Disulfidptosis, a recently identified form of cell death triggered by excessive cysteine accumulation and subsequent disulfide stress, has emerged as a novel mechanism of cell death. Despite its significance, the role of disulfidptosis in the tumor microenvironment (TME) remains poorly understood.

Methods: In this study, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing data from 100,987 cells of 11 osteosarcoma (OS) patients. Using the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) algorithm, we performed dimensionality reduction analysis to identify distinct subtypes characterized by 14 disulfidptosis-related genes across major cell types within the TME. Subsequently, we assessed the prognosis and immunotherapy response associated with each disulfidptosis-related subtype, leveraging publicly available databases comprising osteosarcoma data and immunotherapy cohorts.

Results: We identified distinct subtypes within tumor-associated fibroblasts, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, and macrophages, which we named and annotated based on their characteristic genes. Furthermore, we observed a close association between disulfidptosis-related genes and key biological features of immune cells within the TME, elucidating inferred pseudotime trajectories. Notably, integrating bulk-seq data of osteosarcoma patients, we observed significant differences in overall survival rates among the disulfidptosis-related subtypes. Particularly, the disulfidptosis-related subtype within tumor-associated fibroblasts exhibited superior discriminatory ability in predicting the response of patients undergoing immunotherapy, surpassing other cell subtypes. Our cell-cell communication analysis highlighted extensive and specific interactions between disulfidptosis-related subtypes and osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, we confirmed the histological localization of the CAPZB+CAF subtype within osteosarcoma tissue and osteoclastoma using immunofluorescence (IF) techniques.

Conclusions: Collectively, our study sheds light on the intercellular communication facilitated by disulfidptosis in the TME, underscoring its involvement in the biological functions and immunotherapy response of osteosarcoma.
A Parameterized Multisplitting Iterative Method for Solving the PageRank Problem
Authors: Xie Yajun , Hu Lihua , Ma Changfeng
Published: June 2023

In this paper, a new multi parameter iterative algorithm is proposed to address the PageRank problem based on the multi-splitting iteration method described by Gu et al . The proposed method in each iteration needs to solve two linear subsystems by splitting the coefficient matrix, therefore, we consider inner and outer iteration to find the approximate solutions of these linear subsystems. It can be shown that the iterative sequence generated by the multi parameter iterative algorithm finally converges to the PageRank vector when the parameters satisfy the certain conditions. Numerical experiments show that the proposed algorithm has better convergence and numerical stability than the existing algorithms.
URBAN ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS ON THE EXAMPLE OF KRAKOW’S OLD TOWN
Authors:   Cracow University of Technology, Faculty of Architecture. Poland, Greniuk Agnieszka
Published: June 2023

The conditions of the urban environment in the aspect of progressive climate change mean that city spatial planning is becoming an increasingly greater challenge. The specificity of Krakow’s centre stems from its historical urban grid and the placement of an exceptionally large fragment of the city under heritage conservation. This paper is the result of analyses in terms of urban environmental conditions in the Old Town area, and the objective of the study was to determine possible solutions to improve the living conditions of residents and enhance biodiversity. The measures are based on the idea of a human-friendly city that also limits the negative consequences of urbanisation.
BRONISŁAW BULIŃSKI (1934–2021) SIXTY YEARS IN THE SERVICE OF SAVING MONUMENTS OF WOODEN ARCHITECTURE
Authors:   Professor emeritus of the Cracow University of Technology, Poland Faculty of Architecture, Kurek Jan
Published: June 2023

Monuments of wooden architecture in Poland are appreciated by art historians, and the most valuable of them have been placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. These include sites that Bronisław Buliński of Jaroslaw, who operated a specialist conservation company for many years, was involved in rescuing and preserving. His talent, knowledge and commitment enabled the restoration of many wooden churches and orthodox churches in south-eastern Poland.
DIFFERENCES IN ATTITUDES TOWARDS/BELIEFS ON COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE WITNESSED BETWEEN PHYSIOTHERAPISTS, NURSES/PARAMEDICS AND PHYSICIANS
Authors: Å½ivÄiÄ‡ Debi , Racz Aleksandar , Dario NaletiliÄ‡
Published: June 2023

Background: The change in social order that took place in Croatia in the 1990s made medical pluralism - in terms of coexistence of various treatment options apparent. In spite of the European Commission and WHO recommendations, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) failed to be regulated by the law, even upon EU accession.

Materials and Methods: This study aimed at investigating the attitudes of healthcare professionals towards CAM, as well as possible differences in attitudes expressed by physicians, nurses/paramedics and physiotherapists and comprised a total of 325 healthcare professionals affiliated with either private or public healthcare facilities and belonging to one of the three major categories of healthcare providers under study. The study was carried out throughout 2011 - 2012, and made use of IMAQ (Integrative Medicine Attitude Questionnaire).

Results: A total score seen in the physicians’ arm was statistically lower (M 91.76) when compared to that obtained in the nurses/paramedics’ (M 97.28) and the physiotherapists’ arm (M 97.27). Significant differences in CAM-related attitudes were proven to exist between physicians and nurses/physiotherapists (F=7.853921, p=0.000), but not between nurses and physiotherapists (δ=1.531, p=1.000). These differences boil down to higher criticism expressed by physicians as regards CAM efficiency, especially the therapeutic value of spiritual & intuitive curing methods and osteopathic & laying-on-hands treatments, while significant differences in attitudes towards acupuncture, chiropractic and massage failed to be found. Differences in healthcare professionals’ attitudes arising on the grounds of gender (T=-1.411, p=0.159), educational background (F=2.372303, p=0.095) and the number of years in service (F=0.833, p=0.436), failed to be seen as well.

Conclusion: Despite the fairly high IMAQ score obtained in the study sample that speaks in favour of a positive rather than neutral CAM-related attitude of healthcare providers under study, the very structure of the IMAQ tool prevents us from the unbiased conclusion that Croatian healthcare providers support CAM. Physicians are far less prone to support alternative and spiritual treatment practices than nurses/paramedics and physiotherapists.
Vattimo’s Decline of Art in Gertrude Stein’s ‘A Substance in a Cushion’
Authors: Vahdati Mahnoosh
Published: June 2023

Reading the poem “A substance in a Cushion”, by Gertrude Stein, and at the same time reciting the old, elevated poems of the great poets of the past, one would unconsciously question what it means to be a poet in the modern and postmodern world. When someone recites a traditional poem, like any simple piece of poetry by Wordsworth or Coleridge, he or she will be stunned by how they would make lots and lots of momentous lines out of a straightforward natural element in the world. This contrast is what Gianteressio Vattimo calls the decline of art in the modern world. This essay focuses on one of Gertrude Stein’s iconoclastic poems called “A Substance in a cushion” and applies Vattimo’s ideas concerning the decline of art to his interpretation. Most people nowadays detest the tendence of the modern and post-modern works to shatter the forms, meanings, and the whole notion of real poetry. Poetry should have some rules and obligations, which are what makes it exquisite. Modern artists present anything as art or poetry. Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an avant-garde and feminist poet. Her poems do not hold a fixed meaning but offer a kind of unconventional experience.

Published: June 2023

The interest in African literary texts has increased significantly in recent times within the academic community. However, crucial issues such as climate change, environment, insecurity, and world peace have not received adequate attention from scholars, despite their relevance. This study aims to explore these topics in African literary texts of various genres by employing the ecocriticism of selected African texts as a theoretical framework and using content analysis as the primary methodology. The corpus of this study focuses on the works of Ramonu Sanusi (novel Un Nègre a violé une Blonde à Dallas), Niyi Osundare (poem “They Too Are the Earth”), David Rubadiri (poem “African Thundersorm”), and Ahmed Yerima (play Ipomu), all of whom have been selected for sharing the primary objective of this work - to shed light on the environmental realities of modern society by describing the rates of environmental and climate change and their adverse effects on humanity. Moreover, the authors emphasize the need for world peace to ensure global sustainable development. By critically analyzing the African literary texts, this research seeks to contribute to the academic understanding of these significant global issues and the critical role that literature can play in addressing them.

Keywords: African literature, climate change, Environment, Insecurity, World Peace.
