Evaluating the Pro-Euthanasia Position: An Analysis Based on Dignity and Autonomy
Authors: Mimoglu Ecem , Alhakmi Fauzi
Published: September 2022

This project has the primary aim of investigating the hypothesis that ‘voluntary euthanasia should be legalised due to the importance of respecting patient autonomy and dignity’. A secondary aim is to suggest possible reasons for the apparently lower levels of support for legalisation among physicians compared to the general population. The possible consequences of including dignity as part of the justification for legalising voluntary euthanasia are evaluated, with a focus on the link between dignity and incontinence and the resultant implications on the disabled population. Factors influencing the degree of autonomy a patient can experience when making end-of-life decisions are also explored and applied to the initial hypothesis presented. It is suggested that there are significant safeguarding concerns associated with legalising voluntary euthanasia, with specific considerations of the risks presented to the disabled and terminally ill communities. It is argued that this may provide an explanation for the discrepancies between levels of support for legalising euthanasia between the public, who largely do not have a duty to consider these safeguards, and medical professionals, who largely do. The project makes a universally generalisable conclusion that legalising euthanasia on the grounds of autonomy and dignity presents too significant a risk of harm to vulnerable communities within society, and therefore legalisation should be rejected. This presents a bridge connecting Islamic medical ethics, which strictly prohibits suicide and euthanasia, with values it holds in common with the ‘four principles approach’ outlined by Beauchamp and Childress and develops a rich space for the exploration of how autonomy and dignity can be related to Islamic values of community and public interest, and the paralleled principle of Justice.
Towards Creative Public Health: The Contribution of the Medical and Health Humanities
Authors: Crawford Paul
Published: September 2022

In this keynote address, Professor Paul Crawford introduces the distinctive fields of medical and health humanities, and the way that the arts and humanities can bring new capacities and possibilities for healthcare, health and wellbeing. He will discuss terminology and concepts of the medicalization of the illness experience and the rise of more critical, creative and democratising approaches. He will underline the substantial evidence for how the arts and humanities can improve medical outcomes and increase understanding of the public/patient experience of illness. In so doing, he addresses the potential for what he has called ‘creative public health’ that fully addresses the use of social and cultural assets to enhance the health of nations. In particular, he will provide insight into how this can be mobilised in practice through reference to major programs of research. First, he presents an overview of a major project to support and critically address the value of social and cultural assets for the public and a more medicalized initiative to provide patients with a social rather than pharmaceutical prescription. Second, he describes an innovative creative approach to ‘mutual recovery’ that seeks to enhance well-being within and between practitioners, family carers and patients as part of a whole community/ organisation approach to health. Third, he presents findings from his highly successful ‘What’s Up With Everyone’ research-embedded campaign to advance young people’s mental health literacy in association with Academy-award winning Aardman (Shaun the Sheep, Wallace & Gromit, etc). Finally, he discusses: a. the potential for creative industries to work more closely with governments and health organisations as part of a ‘shadow health service’, complementing centralised health services through the extensive resources of the creative arts; b. the importance of advancing creative clinical environments in a STEM-dominated healthcare culture.
The Position of Experience in Shia Narrative Medicine
Authors: Mousavi S. Soleyman
Published: September 2022

Medical teachings such as medicines, treatment methods, special prayers to cure diseases, etc. in hadiths have formed traditional narrative medicine. Since experience and the use of scientific methods have a special place in modern medicine, the question arises about the position of experience in narrative medicine. The present study tries to examine the position of experience in this medicine at two levels, relying on hadith sources and in a descriptive-analytical manner: 1. The position of experience in the medical knowledge of the Infallibles (i.e. the Prophet and Ahlul-Bayt) and, 2. The position of experience in evaluating medical narrations. In the first part, considering the existence of the teachings of other medical schools in the many narrations, it was concluded that the Infallibles, in addition to divine knowledge, had authorized and employed others' experiences in medicine. Regarding the position of experience in the evaluation of medical narrations, firstly it is beneficial to divide these narrations into two categories: those which have been taken from other medical schools and those which are seemingly original from Infallibles. The medical teachings in the second group could be separated into natural teachings and supernatural teachings as well. Using experience and scientific methods for evaluating medical narrations are just as applicable to narrations taken from other schools and those with natural teachings apparently originated from Infallibles.
ESRA - Towards Explicability
Authors: Nuhu Shahana , Bedford Trish , Schneider Jens , Househ Mowafa
Published: September 2022

The Emotion Sensing Recognition App (ESRA) is a mobile app that uses AI to assess children’s drawings with respect to potential mental health issues. This can be an important tool for parents, since children have difficulties articulating many aspects of their mental well-being. In this context, art therapy can help: an art therapist observes children while they are drawing, either guided (i.e., by requesting certain objects in the image) or unguided. Relative size of objects in the image, their placement, type, color scheme etc. then provide valuable clues about the child’s well-being. Still, parents need to make an initial observation before contacting an art therapist.

In this work, we explore how technology, in particular AI, can be used as a tool to assist parents in starting a dialogue with the child and, potentially, an art therapist. ESRA is one such technology: parents take a picture of their child’s drawing using their mobile phone, and ESRA provides a binary assessment (“good”, “bad”). However, in addition to only providing binary results, ESRA’s decision process is a black box that cannot be inspected.

In contrast, our extended version uses joint-localization and classification to find and identify objects in a child’s drawing. The goal is to provide parents with a verifiable assessment in plain English, summarizing their child’s drawing. To do so, we generated a data set of drawings by conducting a web scrape. We then cleaned and annotated the data set. Under the guidance of the second author of this work, an experienced art therapist, we selected objects in the image and assigned a numerical score ranging from “good” to “bad”. We then used this data to train a “You Only Look Once” (YOLO) artificial neural network (Redmon & Fahadi, 2018). The resulting model predicts the location and score of the objects in an image. We use this information to highlight the objects (i.e., with a bounding box and the label) and summarize the model’s findings in plain English. We pay particular attention to capability awareness by converting numerical scores to quantitative categories such as “We are quite certain that object #7 is a tree without leaves (90%), which could be mildly concerning”. Our tool considers YOLO’s confidence as well the relative size and type of the object. We believe that this approach addresses an important aspect in the ethical use of AI. Deep neural networks are black box oracles. Their decision-making process is not well understood, even by AI experts, let alone lay persons. Our approach therefore allows parents to make an informed decision by attempting to make the recommendation of the AI verifiable. While more studies are needed before using our tool at scale, we think that it can play an important role in initiating a dialogue between children, parents, and art therapists.
Critique of Data Visualisation, Graphic Medicine and the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Joshi Ishani Anwesha , Venkatesan Sathyaraj
Published: September 2022

Data sets were plentifully used in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Although they were utilized for documentation, policy formulation, course correction, and research among others, data sets relentlessly reduced human beings to mere numbers and glossed over the affective and emotional experiences which characterize our lived experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarrelling with such decontextualized, depersonalized, and hegemonic impacts of data, graphic medicine while not entirely dismissive of the performative authority of data, criticizes and supplements data only to arrive at a complex model of data. Using close reading of comic panels created by Andy Warner, Sarah Firth, and Randall Munroe, the present article demonstrates how graphic medicine imagines different ways of engaging data through enfolding the social/individual and structures of feeling to convey the embodied nature of our existence. Put differently, graphic medicine rematerializes and reclaims the individuals from datasets through a process which we call “redrawing.” Redrawing is a textual practice and strategic engagement with the authority of visual/verbal discourses and its attendant technologies through rhetorical operations of irony, satire and genre blending among others. The article concludes by emphasizing the need to humanize, contextualize, and sensitively present data so as to convey the collective, entangled and affective nature of our existence.
Effectiveness of Arts in Health Interventions in Clinical and Public Health Settings: What is the Evidence?
Authors: Weber Alan S.
Published: September 2022

Although the visual and expressive arts and music have been used in therapeutics and diagnosis for centuries, only in the past two decades has evidenced-based research on the role of arts in healing achieved a critical mass to warrant inclusion of the arts in health systems both inside and outside the clinic. Qualitative and quantitative studies have demonstrated that the arts can impact prevention, management, and treatment of disease in addition to health promotion. Specifically, the visual, performing and literary arts have been shown to positively affect the following dimensions of health: psychological (coping, emotional regulation); physiological (hormone response, immune function); social (isolation, social support); and behavioral (skills, lifestyle behaviors, exercise). This talk reviews the current medical evidence for the efficacy of Arts for Health programs based on recent reports from WHO, UK government white papers, and published scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.

Background: Malnutrition in the elderly is a very common problem in developing countries. There are many factors affecting the nutritional status of the elderly, especially the habit of consuming foods. Objective: To determine nutritional status and frequency of food consumption and some factors related to nutritional status among the Khmer elderly people. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 614 subjects in 10/17 communes in Tra Cu district, Tra Vinh province in 2020. Results: The rate of malnutrition classified by Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) was 23,9%; and 62,1% was at risk of malnutrition and 14,0% had normal nutritional status. According to Body Mass Index (BMI), the rate of malnutrition was 27,5%; the rate of overweight and obesity was 14,2% and 58,3% had normal nutritional status. The food groups with the highest frequency of consumption were meat, fish, eggs, tofu, and beans. Nutritional status was related to the frequency of food consumption, low level of physical activity and some characteristics of the study subjects. Conclusion: The study results show a high prevalence of malnutrition, an unequal consumption of food groups and some related factors. Therefore, it is necessary to improve behaviors related to lifestyle and proper dietary practice to prevent malnutrition.

Significance of Homonymy in Business English
Authors: Khostikyan Ruzanna
Published: September 2022

English homonyms found in oral and written speech and, in particular, in business docu-mentation can lead to misunderstandings and confusions of language realities due to the lack of precise knowledge and ability of differentiation of the core meanings of homonyms and their types. Homophones can create difficulties of understanding because of the similarity of pro-nounciation and homographs cause difficulties due to the similarities in the graphical form. The author suggests paying special attention to the understanding of meanings of homonymous words and their precise differentiation to avoid misleading situations. The phenomenon of poly-semy is also presented in the article and the way of differentiation of polysemic words from ho-monyms is explained on the basis of their core meaning rather than the etymology of these words.

ANÁLISIS DE LAS POLÍTICAS EDUCATIVAS EN EL PLAN NACIONAL DE DESARROLLO “PLAN TODA UNA VIDA” 2017-2021
Authors: Feria Granda Rosa Mariela , Feria Granda Victoria Angélica
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo es de corte analítico y toma como objeto de estudio al Plan Nacional de Desarrollo (PND) “Toda una Vida” 2017-2021. Especialmente, se pretende verificar cual ha sido el nivel de cumplimiento de la línea de trabajo: “Facilidades de acceso a todos los niveles de educación” planteada en el PND; esto con la finalidad de identificar cuáles han sido las líneas de acción y cuáles han sido sus falencias. Para ello, se debe tomar en cuenta que, en el PND no se plantea un eje macro sobre educación, además que en el país no existe una estrategia nacional de educación. Entre los elementos analizados se encuentran la Constitución de la República del Ecuador (CRE), las políticas públicas, el presupuesto General del Estado, y los resultados de las pruebas “Ser bachiller” del periodo 2017-2018. Este análisis identificó que no se está cumpliendo con lo dispuesto en la CRE, debido a que la inversión en educación ha disminuido progresivamente en los últimos años. Otro hallazgo identificado, es que “El Nuevo Bachillerato” termina siendo un instrumento insuficiente al momento de educar a jóvenes aptos para el acceso a la educación superior, esto debido a que para acceder a las universidades el 85% del puntaje depende de una prueba estandarizada, y apenas el 15% depende del récor académico obtenido en el bachillerato; lo cual deja por fuera del sistema de educación superior a una gran cantidad de jóvenes.

В статье приведены результаты исследования влияния мутантных штаммов ризобактерий, способствующих росту растений (PGPR- бактерий), подвергшихся ультрафиолетовому облучению, на всхожесть и энергию прорастания семян маша сорта «Победа-54» и фасоли сорта «Инжу - 077». В качестве объектов исследования использовались Pseudomonas putida 4/1, Azotobacter chroococcumР29 и Bacillus subtilis. Врезультате проведения УФ-облучения трех коллекционных штаммов PGPR-бактерий установлено, что 1%-ное выживание моноизолятов достигается при облучении УФ-лучами в течение 60 минут. Обработка семян маша полученными мутантными штаммами оказала положительное влияние на всхожесть семян по сравнению с обработкой семян исходными вариантами ризобактерий и контролем. Однако увеличение ростостимулирующей активности по сравнению с исходными штаммами отмечено только у мутантного штамма Pseudomonas putida М-1. Длина стебля и корней при этом увеличилась в среднем в 1,2 раза (стебель) и в 1,08 раза (корень) по сравнению с этими показателями растений, семена которых были обработаны исходным штаммом, а по сравнению с контролем - в 2,9 и 2,6 раза, соответственно. Обработка же семян фасоли мутантными штаммами исследуемых бактерий не оказала положительного влияния ни на всхожесть семян, ни на прирост корня и стебля по сравнению с исходными вариантами и контролем.

The article presents the results of a study of the effect of mutant strains of rhizobacteria that promote plant growth (PGPR bacteria) exposed to ultraviolet irradiation on the germination and germination energy of “Pobeda-54” mung bean seeds and “Inju-077” beans. Pseudomonas putida 4/1, Azotobacter chroococcum P29 and Bacillus subtilis were used as research objects. As a result of UV irradiation of three collection strains of PGPR bacteria, it was found that 1% survival of mono-isolates is achieved when irradiated with UV rays for 60 minutes. The treatment of mash seeds with the obtained mutant strains had a positive effect on seed germination compared to the treatment of seeds with the initial variants of rhizobacteria and control. However, an increase in growth-stimulating activity compared to the original strains was noted only in the mutant strain Pseudomonas putida M-1. The length of the stem and roots increased by 1.2 times (stem) and 1.08 times (root) compared to stems and roots length of seeds treated with the original strain and control - by 2.9 and 2.6 times, respectively. The treatment of bean seeds with bacterial mutant strains did not have a positive effect neither on seed germination nor on the growth of the root and stem compared to the initial variants and control.

Важной проблем аграрного сектора, требующей решения, является дефицит белка в питании людей и недостаточность кормовой базы для животноводства. Для решения этих задач необходимо увеличение производства высокобелковых бобовых культур и, прежде всего, сои. Для повышения урожайности сои применяют клубеньковые бактерии. Эти бактерии являются симбионтами, поставляющими растениям биологических азот, и тем самым, улучшая их азотное питание. Целью данного исследования было выделение клубеньковых бактерий, получение чистых культур, изучение их основных биологических свойств, отбор наиболее активных штаммов, перспективных для выращивания культуры сои. Из клубеньков растений сои, собранных на полях Алматинской области Казахстана, было выделено 24 чистые культуры бактерий. Проведено изучение их основных культурально-морфологических и биохимических свойств, исследована нодулирующая и азотфиксирующая способности. В результате отобрано четыре высокоэффективных штамма клубеньковых бактерий, перспективных для выращивания культуры сои.

An important problem of the agricultural sector that needs to be addressed is the lack of protein in human nutrition and fodder for livestock. To solve these problems, it is necessary to increase the production of high-protein legumes and, above all, soybeans. When growing soybeans, nodule bacteria are used to increase its yield. These bacteria are symbionts, they fix nitrogen, and thus improve the nitrogen nutrition of plants. The purpose of this study was to isolate rhizobia, obtain pure cultures, study their basic biological properties, and select the most active strains that are promising for soybean cultivation. From nodules of soybean plants collected in the fields of the Almaty region of Kazakhstan, 24 pure cultures of rhizobia were isolated. Their basic cultural-morphological and biochemical properties were studied, their nodulation and nitrogen-fixing abilities were studied. As a result, four highly effective strains of rhizobia were selected that are promising for growing soybeans.

It has been established in numerous literature that service quality is an important measure of business performance. Its impacts are registered by its direct effect on customer satisfaction and the indirect effect on customer loyalty. The main objective of the present study is to measure hotels' service quality from the customers’ perspective. A performance-only measurement scale (SERVPERF) was administered to customers who stayed in three-star, four-star, and five-star hotels in China. Although the importance of service quality and its measurement have been recognized, there was limited research that addressed the structure and antecedents of the concepts for the hotel industry. The findings of the dimensions are important for managers in the hotel industry as they identify the bundle of service attributes the consumers find important. The results of the study also demonstrate that SERVPERF is a reliable and valid tool to measure service quality in the hotel industry. The instrument consists of five dimensions, namely "tangibles", "responsiveness", "empathy", "assurance" and "reliability". Hotel customers are expecting more improved services from the hotels in all the service quality dimensions. It was also found that the hotel customers have the lowest perception scores on empathy and responsiveness among the five dimensions.

Published: September 2022

Leadership has always been of great importance for societies. The effects of globalization and generational differences in the 21st century show that societies and organizations will need leadership more than ever before. Changes in economic, technological, cultural and political fields in societies cause the perception of leadership to change. It is claimed that these changes transform leadership into a more effective and functional concept. Leadership is more than just a myth created and nurtured by one person, it has turned into a partnership and a set of common behaviors. In this article, the theoretical foundations of leadership are examined in detail and examples of leadership practices in educational institutions, innovation and creativity in school leadership are given. It is aimed that the article will contribute to academicians, practitioners, school administrators, teachers, undergraduate and graduate students.
Problems and Prospects with Romans 1:13-14 and the Letter’s Implication of a Gentile Audience
Authors: Stark J. David
Published: September 2022

Scholars often consider the implied audience of Romans to have been a mixture of Jews and gentiles, albeit with a gentile majority. Other scholars challenge this thesis, however, and argue that the implied audience is exclusively gentile. Romans 1:13-14 is an important locus in this debate, but four points about these verses require further consideration. These are (1) the case of the elements Paul unites with the τὲ καί constructions in verse 14, (2) the variety of complements Paul gives ὀφειλέτης elsewhere, (3) the explanatory relationship of verse 14 to verse 13, and (4) the clearly personal focus of the language that appears with the τὲ καί constructions in verse 14. Duly considered, these points argue strongly for an exclusively gentile implied audience.
Sobre revoluções, imaginários e afetividades políticas: diálogos de Pierre Ansart com Proudhon, Marx e com a história contemporânea.
Authors: Marson Izabel Andrade
Published: September 2022

Pierre Ansart (1922-2016) integra uma geração de intelectuais das ciências humanas que lapidaram sua percepção crítica em sensível sintonia com acontecimentos políticos impactantes do século XX. Após a libertação de Paris (junho de 1944), ao sair da Resistência ao nazismo, finalizou o curso de filosofia, ensinou na Indochina (1950-1958), na Sorbonne (1970-1990) e em várias universidades fora da França. Sua carreira se definiu em meio aos grandes conflitos - a segunda guerra, a guerra fria, as lutas pela descolonização, a crise dos regimes comunistas e das democracias -, e às discussões renovadoras da filosofia e das ciências sociais sobre existencialismos, marxismos, anarquismos, psicanálise e estruturalismos. Em seus estudos da política, Ansart ampliou a compreensão das fragilidades dos regimes comunistas e das democracias liberais explorando problemáticas já colocadas no debate travado entre fundadores do socialismo no século XIX - Saint-Simon, Proudhon e Marx. Também esclareceu práticas recorrentes nas nações europeias do século XX – suas revoluções, imaginários, afetividades políticas e imprevisibilidades históricas. Apoiado em depoimentos e obras, este artigo aborda o diálogo de Ansart com suas fontes, reiterando suas premissas: apresenta-o não como “monumento”, objeto de culto, mas como intelectual crítico com quem podemos debater metodologias e questões que se (re)põem e (re)novam na atualidade - as ameaças às democracias de antigos e “novos” fascismos, “guerras frias” e nacionalismos.
As paixões políticas nos subterrâneos da vida punk: as est/éticas dos ressentimentos em revolta a partir de Pierre Ansart
Authors: Cerasoli Josianne Francia , Pires João Augusto Neves
Published: September 2022

Na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, na década de 1980, como muitas outras cidades conectadas pelas veias abertas da globalização, corriam a cantar os/as bandos/as punks. Esse período, que corresponde ao contexto de efervescência dessas errâncias urbanas, coincide com a publicação de La gestion des passions politiques (1983), do sociólogo Pierre Ansart, refletindo sobre a participação de sentimentos e paixões na vida política. Apesar de não mencionar essas manifestações em Paris, suas contribuições teóricas e metodológicas possibilitam averiguar a maneira pela qual ressentimentos e revoltas mobilizaram essa produção est/ética. Para isso, nos serviremos de cartas, fanzines e fonogramas que compõem a Coleção Movimento Punk preservada no Centro de Informação e Documentação Científica da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (CEDIC/PUC) e catalogada durante nossa pesquisa para o acervopunk.com.br. A partir do pressuposto de que as emoções da cólera revoltada compunham essas manifestações, pretendemos analisar as dinâmicas afetivas e suas ressonâncias nas performances punks e conurbações/conturbações de São Paulo. Acreditamos que as lentes de análise propostas por Ansart são fundamentais para averiguar as ambivalências afetivas na arte e nos jogos das paixões políticas intrínsecas ao circuito punk.

Misreporting and Fake News Detection Techniques on the Social Media Platform
Authors: Feng Yuran
Published: September 2022

One of the major concerns nowadays is the rapid spreading of fake news or unverified information on all kinds of social media. Misinformation and disinformation on the digital media of news distribution have brought significant negative impacts to our community, which the traditional techniques can no longer detect and deal with it effectively. It is urgent to squelch fake news immediately to limit its impact on the economy and society. As deep learning techniques continue developing in recent decades, scholars successfully deployed deep neural networks on fake news detection tasks. The first noticeable thing is to admit that the fake news detection task has made significant accomplishments as fast as we hoped. It is necessary to study further and broadly review the state-of-the-art fake news detection approaches. In this review paper, we survey several distinct deep learning techniques and provide a comprehensive review of automatic fake news detection classification tasks and the datasets and models used, demonstrating the performance evaluation on different approaches. We have also analyzed the potential challenge we encountered in fake news detection.
