Pentecostalismo en y desde América Latina
Authors: Mansilla Miguel , Mosqueira Mariela
Published: May 2024

In this paper we propose to make a brief and descriptive chronology of the sociological production on Pentecostalism in and from Latin America, in order to offer a panoramic view of the phenomenon. For this purpose, we will divide the exposition into three stages: a) Pentecostalism as a religion of cultural transition (1967-1979); b) Pentecostalism in the passage from dictatorships to democracies (1980-1999) and c) Pentecostalism of globalization (2000-2017). In each of these periods we will mention the main lines of research, debates and analytical tensions in the sociological study of Latin American Pentecostalism.
La imagen fotográfica de los metodistas en México (1890-1910)
Authors: Escorza Rodríguez Daniel
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this article is to review and expose the use of a series of photographs related to the beginnings of Methodism in Mexico in the last decade of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century, under two topics. On the one hand, the photography published in the press of this Protestant group, from the invention of the halftone, in the pages of periodicals and, on the other hand, the meaning of the photographic object as a record of the activities of the Methodist mission. Far from being a simple ornament, this paper attempts to use the photographic record as a document for historical analysis.
Identidades religiosas e consumo
Authors: Costa Moab César Carvalho
Published: May 2024

In this article we will historicize the process of accommodation of the Evangelical Churches Assembly of God - ADs to the consumer society. Process that we call the aggiornamento of Pentecostalism. For this purpose, we will analyze the main characteristics of Brazilian Neo-Pentecostalism, based in the concepts of postmodernity, market and consumption, as well as the influence and level of penetration of its practices and beliefs in the practices and beliefs of the ADs. In this context, we will verify how these elements, together with the characteristics of the consumer society, were decisive for the ADs in Brazil to start an aggiornamento process. We will analyze the phases and official instruments (resolutions, declarations, and manifestos) responsible for legitimizing changes in their identity and ethos, in internal relations and with society.
Pentecostalismos, política e esfera pública
Authors: Silva Drance Elias da
Published: May 2024

Religion, a human and social dimension, should not be understood as something directed only to individuals, since it involves the entire reference group. An active reality, it spreads throughout society its themes and social practices that mark a way of negotiating the difficult relationship between the "I/we" and the "other/they" in contexts that demand positioning. Although religious practices are presented in an ambivalent way, there is no denial that they demonstrate a potential for virtue; on the contrary, there is a recognition as something positive that is constructed.  This "potential of virtue" occurs, therefore, through an analysis of the public space that allows us to identify significant experiences that integrate social reality. This paper seeks to focus on issues surrounding the relationship between religion and the public sphere, highlighting its sociais role, politics, and citizenship. The foundations of any community are the relations of reciprocity. It is through this epistemological perspective that we come to understand and define community by the solidarity relations of human groups that share the same identity, such as nations, families, church, and can thus be legitimately called "community", since they are governed by relations of alliances cemented by giving/receiving/returning.

El estudio de la editorial evangélica presbiteriana en México contribuye a la historia cultural-política del protestantismo en América Latina, dado que la historiografía, en su mayoría, se ha centrado en la función política de sus periódicos. En este artículo nos proponemos un abordaje de largo aliento y descentrada de la prensa para analizar cómo los presbiterianos, en tanto agentes culturales, se plantearon la búsqueda de una identidad nacional durante gran parte del siglo XX. En este sentido, con fuentes procedentes de México y Estados Unidos de América, como los catálogos de libros, periódicos, reportes de la misión estadounidense y entrevistas, examinaremos las prácticas editoriales y analizaremos los impresos presbiterianos como artefactos culturales. De esta manera, planteamos una lectura histórica sobre la deriva contemporánea del presbiterianismo en México y sus distintas formas de representación de la nación y la nacionalidad.

Authors: Brøsen Julie Maria Bøggild , Bomholt Tobias , Borg Rikke , Persson Frederik , Pedersen-Bjergaard Ulrik
Published: May 2024

Assessment and treatment of hyperglycaemia in people with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are challenging. In advanced CKD HbA1c can be unreliable, and treatment adjustments should be supported by other glucose measurements (e.g., continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) or blood glucose measurements). Glucose-lowering treatments should be evaluated based on CKD and an individualised assessment of risk factors especially hypoglycaemia. This review aims at providing an overview of the options for glycaemic monitoring and glucose-lowering treatments in people with diabetes and CKD.
Imported leishmaniasis in Denmark
Authors: Zangenberg Mike , Helleberg Marie , Stensvold Christen Rune , Nielsen Henrik Vedel
Published: May 2024

Leishmaniasis is transmitted by sandflies and involves cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral disease. Sporadic, imported cases in Denmark emphasize the need for greater awareness. The incidence is stable with at least ten verified cases per year. Diagnostic methods include PCR- and antibody tests with a high positivity rate for PCR (17%) and a low positivity rate for antibody (1.4%). The latter should be used only when visceral disease is suspected. Immunosuppressed patients are at particular risk. Treatment strategies are chosen according to the severity of the condition, as argued in this review.

Authors: Andersen Maria Færch , Rode Line , Christiansen Iben Louise Riishede , Tabor Ann , Ekelund Charlotte Kvist
Published: May 2024

Pre-eclampsia affects 3-4% of pregnancies and is associated with maternal and infant mortality and morbidity. High-risk pregnancies in Denmark are recommended prophylactic low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (LDA). If new screening algorithms are implemented, LDA will be recommended to around 10% of pregnant women. The use of LDA may slightly increase the risk of minor bleeding disturbances. Otherwise, there is a lot of promising data regarding the safety of LDA use during pregnancy, as argued in this review.

Global Inequality: Will The Inequality Among the Brics Nations Hinder Manoeuvring the Global Economy
Authors: Dorasamy Nirmala , Kikasu EustacheTanzala
Published: May 2024

The BRICS countries: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, including Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina, and Saudi Arabia are emerging as key players in the global economy with significant economic growth and influence on the world stage. However, despite their economic strength, global inequality remains a pressing issue, with disparities in income, wealth, and development persisting around the BRICS bloc and the rest of the world. The BRICS countries are seen as a comforting alternative and emerging force that can play a significant role in addressing global inequality, applying collaboration to help find solutions for challenges facing the global South, and steering the global economy towards more inclusive and sustainable growth. They represent a diverse group of economies with a combined population of over 3 billion people and a significant share of the global GDP. By working together, the BRICS countries have the potential to leverage their collective strength and influence to drive positive change on a global scale. One of the key ways in which the BRICS nations can help address global inequality is through promoting inclusive economic growth and development. This includes investing in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social safety nets to ensure that all members of society have the opportunity to benefit from economic growth. The BRICS nations are also working together to address issues such as trade barriers, financial regulation, and infrastructure development to create a more level playing field for all countries. Additionally, the BRICS nations are investing efforts using their influence to advocate for reforms in global governance institutions such as the IMF, World Bank, and WTO to ensure that the interests of developing countries are better represented and that there is greater transparency and accountability in the global economic system. While this effort seems to be significant for the Global South, there are still many challenges that must be addressed to achieve more equal and inclusive global economic growth. However, it is expected that by working together and leveraging their collective strength, the BRICS nations have the potential to play a significant role in steering the global economy towards a more equitable and sustainable future. This paper examines perspectives on how the BRICS countries could succeed in steering the global economy. Various literature and research work of eminent experts were explored to understand better the influence of the BRICS countries in driving positive and dynamic change on a global scale, as well as efforts to address global inequality.

Authors: Zefu Huang , Arumugam Nalini , Shaoxia Liu , Fangfang Wang
Published: May 2024

This study investigated the impact of peer instruction on learners’ writing proficiency in a Chinese university. It adopted a quasi-experimental research design and lasted for fourteen weeks. Peer instruction was used as an intervention for the experimental group, while the teacher-centred traditional approach was employed for the control group. The quasi-experiment results showed no significant difference in the pretest writing proficiency between the experimental and control groups. However, the experimental group’s writing proficiency significantly exceeded the control group’s in the posttest. Therefore, the intervention was effective in this quasi-experiment, and peer instruction significantly influenced EFL learners’ writing proficiency. Nevertheless, this study also had the limitation of a small sample and short duration. In future studies, educators and teachers should reduce these limitations to optimize the peer instruction approach in EFL writing instruction.

Ky artikull fokusohet në shpërnguljen që u është bërë shqiptarëve nga Jugosllavia në vitet 1930-1938. Ky proces ka nisur në Kosovë në vitin 1918, me ripushtimin e saj nga trupat jugosllave dhe ka vijuar më tej. Në këtë kuadër, përfshihen procesi i reformës agrare dhe kolonizimit të ndërmarrë nga Mbretëria Serbo-Kroato-Sllovene (MSKS) ndaj shqiptarëve. Prandaj, theksi kryesor vihej në shpërnguljen e shqiptarëve nga Kosova në drejtim të shtetit shqiptar. Përmes masave të ndryshme, shpronësimit të tokës së shqiptarëve, dhunës dhe terrorit, politika serbe synonte spastrimin etnik, ndryshimin e strukturës demografike në dëm të shqiptarëve dhe kolonizimin e tyre me popullsi serbo-malazeze.

TENSION-TYPE HEADACHE
Authors: Ashina M. , Ashina S.
Published: May 2024

Tension-type headache is the most common primary headache disorder. The life-time prevalence of tension-type headache in general population is between 30 to 78%. Tension-type has the tremendous socio-economic impact on the individual and the society. Unfortunately, it is the least studied primary headache. The pathophysiology of this headache disorder is not fully understood. The diagnosis of tension-type headache is based on the history, and general and neurological examinations. Abnormalities in peripheral and central nociceptive nervous systems in combination with environmental and genetic factors may play a role in the pathophysiology of tension-type headache. The pharmacotherapy of episodic tension-type headache is non-specific and includes simple analgesics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Tricyclic antidepressants are the mainstay in the prophylactic treatment of chronic tension-type headache.

Published: May 2024

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effectiveness of emotion-focused therapy on self-efficacy and posttraumatic growth in women with breast cancer. Methods: This quasi-experimental study (pre-test - post-test with control group) involved 30 women with breast cancer in Sari (2021) who were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned into two groups of 15 participants each, an experimental group and a control group. The measurement instruments used were the General Self-Efficacy Scale by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1979) and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory by Tedeschi and Calhoun (1996), completed by the participants. Subsequently, participants in the experimental group attended 10 sessions of 60-minute emotion-focused therapy over a period of ten weeks. However, no therapy sessions were conducted for the control group. Ultimately, data analysis was performed using the covariance analysis method. Findings: The analysis revealed that after the intervention, there was a significant difference between the control and experimental groups in both variables of self-efficacy and posttraumatic growth (p ≤ .05). Significant differences were observed in the components of self-efficacy (general self-preparedness and social self-efficacy) and three components of posttraumatic growth (relating to others, personal strength, and appreciation of life) between the women in the experimental and control groups (p ≤ .05); however, no significant differences were observed in the components of new possibilities and spiritual change. Conclusion: The use of emotion-focused therapy is an appropriate intervention to enhance self-efficacy and posttraumatic growth in women with breast cancer, which can be beneficial for improving psychological well-being and better coping with the disease and treatment.

The Expressivity Dimension of Speech is the basis of the Expression Dimension. Evidence from Behavioural and Neuroimaging Studies
Authors: Isabelle Hesling
Published: May 2024

The modalities of communication are the sum of the expression dimension (linguistics) and the expressivity dimension (prosody), both being equally important in language communication. The expressivity dimension which comes first in the act of speech, is the basis on which phonemes, syllables, words, grammar, and morphosyntax, i.e., the expression dimension of speech is superimposed. We will review evidence (1) revealing the importance of prosody in language acquisition and (2) showing that prosody triggers the involvement of specific brain areas dedicated to sentences and word-list processing. To support the first point, we will not only rely on experimental psychology studies conducted in newborns and young children but also on neuroimaging studies that have helped to validate these behavioral experiments. Then, neuroimaging data on adults will allow for the conclusion that the expressivity dimension of speech modulates both the right hemisphere prosodic areas and the left hemisphere network in charge of the expression dimension.
New Scientific Field for Modelling Complex Dynamical Systems: The Cybernetics Artificial Intelligence (CAI)
Authors: Peter P Groumpos
Published: May 2024

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been considered a revolutionary and world-changing science, although it is still a young field and has a long way to go before it can be established as a viable theory. Every day, new knowledge is created at an unthinkable speed, and the Big Data Driven World is already upon us. AI has developed a wide range of theories and software tools that have shown remarkable success in addressing difficult and challenging societal problems. However, the field also faces many challenges and drawbacks that have led some people to view AI with skepticism. One of the main challenges facing AI is the difference between correlation and causation, which plays an important role in AI studies. Additionally, although the term Cybernetics should be a part of AI, it was ignored for many years in AI studies. To address these issues, the Cybernetic Artificial Intelligence (CAI) field has been proposed and analyzed here for the first time. Despite the optimism and enthusiasm surrounding AI, its future may turn out to be a “catastrophic Winter” for the whole world, depending on who controls its development. The only hope for the survival of the planet lies in the quick development of Cybernetic Artificial Intelligence and the Wise Anthropocentric Revolution. The text proposes specific solutions for achieving these two goals. Furthermore, the importance of differentiating between professional/personal ethics and eternal values is highlighted, and their importance in future AI applications is emphasized for solving challenging societal problems. Ultimately, the future of AI heavily depends on accepting certain ethical values.
Expression of lncRNAs in the injured lung induced by brain ischemia
Authors: Wang Shen , Li Na
Published: May 2024

Objectives: Lung injury, as a consequential complication, may arise due to brain ischemia (BI). Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely obscure. In this study, we developed a model of lung injury induced by BI to explore the expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and their network connections in rats experiencing ischemia-induced lung injury through gene sequencing techniques. Methods: We established the Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) model of rats and assessed their neurological function using both the Zea-Longa and the modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS). Following an overnight fast of 12 hours, rats underwent venipuncture to obtain blood samples, which were subsequently used for biochemical analyses. Assessment of lung injury was conducted using X-ray detection. By employing microarray hybridization technology, we analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNAs. Bioinformatics methods were utilized to predict the target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of the identified lncRNAs. Results: A total of 1954 lncRNAs and 3055 mRNAs exhibited differential expression in the lung injury of BI rats compared to the sham-operated group. The prediction of potential target genes for lncRNAs involved scanning a genomic region spanning 10 kilobases upstream and downstream of the lncRNAs. Subsequently, this analysis identified 165 mRNAs located upstream, with 421 mRNAs overlapping with lncRNAs. In addition, 158 mRNAs were situated downstream, and 249 mRNAs were oriented on the antisense strand. Moreover, a comprehensive analysis of the overlapping genomic data revealed the identification of 29 lncRNAs demonstrating a significant association with the 249 mRNAs under investigation. Conclusions: This study reported the network correlation between lncRNAs and mRNA differentially expressed in the lung injury induced by BI, which could help to understand the involved network mechanism in BI-induced lung injury.

Published: May 2024

Under Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei's strategy of its simultaneous development, the digital economy with its networked, digitised and intelligent industrial operations is developing rapidly, and big data is both the object of its production and creation, and can also provide legal protection for the digital economy. Although the use of big data in practice is gradually increasing, it has not been fully embraced at the legislative, law enforcement and judicial levels as an adaptive means of safeguarding the digital economy. Big data can promote digital industrialisation and industrial digitisation, help digital rights and maintain intellectual property rights, regulate the platform economy against monopoly and unfair competition, accelerate data sharing and help protect personal information, can effectively make up for the existing laws and regulations and the traditional regulatory model of the digital economy of the soil and soil, so the law to absorb big data to solve the risks of the digital economy is imperative. Big data should be based on the different needs of criminal, civil and administrative laws, respectively; legislation for high-tech crimes, protection of personal information and intellectual property rights; law enforcement for the platform economy, anti-monopoly and anti-unfair competition, and tax evasion; and judiciary for the evidence of big data, the introduction of talents and smart work models, to build a legal risk response strategy for the synergistic development of the digital economy empowered by big data.

Authors: Han Wenxing
Published: May 2024

As an indispensable link between low-carbon economic activities, the green development of logistics enterprises determines their market competitiveness and industry development ability. In this paper, 80 domestic logistics enterprises identified in 2022 are selected as objects, and the three-stage data envelope analysis (DEA) method is used to construct the enterprise operation efficiency evaluation index system with the input-output data of 2017–2021. The results show that the overall operating efficiency of domestic logistics enterprises is not high. In 2017, the comprehensive technical efficiency and pure technical efficiency of effective companies reached their peaks, accounting for 22.5% and 35%, respectively. The scale efficiency of effective companies only accounted for 35%. The company's technology and management caliber are negatively impacted by external environmental conditions. There are redundancies in operating input and unreasonable allocations of operating resources. According to the analysis results, this paper puts forward some improvement suggestions for the sustainable development of domestic logistics enterprises from both the government and enterprises.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a major pathophysiologic event that presents a high risk for prostate cancer (the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men). The prognosis of conventional therapy for BPH remains poor due to treatment failures. Thus, natural remedies such as botanical drugs remain a promising alternative therapy to be explored for the treatment of BPH and prostate cancer. Citrus fruits, specifically fruit peels of Citrus reticulata (CRE) contain bioactive compounds that exhibit anti-inflammatory properties and have been used in crude form in traditional settings to manage benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, however, scientific scrutiny of this ethnobotanical claim remains incomplete. This study assessed the protective effect of CRE in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia-like phenotypes in rats. Male Wistar rats (n = 30, 150-200 g) were randomly assigned into six groups (n = 5), and treated for 28 days as follows: control group (normal saline, 5 mg/kg s.c.), model group (testosterone,5 mg/kg, i.p.), the finasteride (1 mg/kg, p.o.), and CRE (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) groups received testosterone (5 mg/kg, i.p.) in the morning and their respective treatments (either finasteride or CRE). All rats were given chow and water ad libitum. On the 28th day, the rats were sacrificed following deep anesthesia. Blood and the prostate gland were collected. Full blood count, serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, C-reactive protein (CRP), and histology of the prostate gland were assessed. Compared to the model, treatment with C. reticulata peel extracts markedly reduced prostate weight, attenuated atresia of the prostatic glands, stromal fibrosis, and mast cell infiltration, and increased glandular secretion. Additionally, serum levels of testosterone, CRP, PSA, and white blood count were reduced in the high-dose C. reticulata peel extract-treated group. Fruit peels of C. reticulata exhibited a protective effect against BPH partly by attenuating inflammatory activity. Thus, this finding provides a rationale for further exploration of CRE for novel anti-BPH molecules that could be used to develop therapeutics against prostate cancer.

Soil remediation is one of well-known methods used in construction engineering to treat problematic soil. Alkali activator such as Potassium hydroxide has been known for its activation of amorphous aluminum silicate occurring in fly ash. This when added to soft soil results in cemented material with strength properties resembles that of cement. However, the failure mode observed is very brittle making the application of such technique very limited to specific engineering applications. To extend the use of alkali activation method in the field of construction engineering soil reinforcement using polypropylene fibers has been recentlyadapted. One of engineering properties in assessing resistance against horizontal displacement is flexural strength towards bending. In this regard alkali activated soft soil with Potassium hydroxide and reinforced with polypropylene fibers was subjected to two different curing regimes namely 28 and 90 days. The flexural tests revealed greater impact on flexural properties for both alkali and alkali reinforced specimen due to prolonged curing regime of 90 days when comparing with that of specimen cured for 28 days. Keywords: Soil stabilization; Polypropylene fibers; Alkali activation; flexural strength; Curing regime.
