Uma possível genealogia de corpas decoloniais: a obra sino-latinoamericana de Zairong Xiang
Authors: Faro Paula Telles de Menezes , Greiner Christine
Published: September 2024

A recente tradução do livro Antigos Caminhos Queer, uma exploração decolonial de Zairong Xiang ativou para nós novas práticas de ensino e curadoria a partir do que este autor chamou de cosmopolitismo. Reunindo uma complexa diversidade cultural de fontes diversas, a sua obra tem questionado as “origens” da cultura queer na Inglaterra e nos Estados Unidos, o que nos possibilitou detectar a tradução como dispositivo colonial de mundos e corpas, um sintoma persistente do extrativismo de subjetividades promovido pelos diversos modos de impor relações de poder.
Reflexões desobedientes de uma escrita-teatro feminista: colisões, interrupções e arranjamentos
Authors: Ribeiro Martha de Mello
Published: September 2024

Busca-se a reflexão do modo como corpos femininos e feminizados fazem circular um mapa de afetos produtor de uma episteme epidérmica. Um conhecimento que quebra com os pressupostos de um saber pretensamente universal que desconsidera em sua estruturação o corpo vivido. A pesquisa vem mapeando certos dispositivos na cena contemporânea da América Latina que tragam para si o problema. Em diálogo com os experimentos cênicos das artistas trans Lia Garcia e Renata Carvalho, e da Companhia Brasileira de Teatro (“Voo Livre/futuros”), investiga-se ATOS de ternura radical que afirmam a potência de uma escrita-teatro feminista corporificada, tanto para a cena como para a teoria crítica.
Aos exilados do Brasil: para compreender as violências coloniais no Brasil laico
Authors: Sousa Marcia Cristina da Silva , Pereira Elvina Maria Caetano
Published: September 2024

Este trabalho tem como eixo de análise a vídeo-performance Bibliofagia (2022), de Lian Gaia, artista indígena do povo Kariri da Paraíba que articula sua poética às práticas culturais e religiosas indígenas e à discussão de estigmas racistas. Pretendemos, com esta análise, evidenciar as questões coloniais que estão em torno dos conflitos territoriais e religiosos que ocorrem em solo brasileiro, na atualidade. É por meio dela que discorreremos sobre o engajamento político-estético da performer, cuja produção artística está interessada em colocar em xeque a intolerância religiosa e a violência racial no Brasil.

Perspectivas para uma pedagogia vocal: possibilidades para uma voz desejante
Authors: Rocha Valéria Cristina Machado
Published: September 2024

Este artigo apresenta a "Pedagogia para a Voz Desejante", uma abordagem vocal oriunda de pesquisa de doutorado realizada na Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA). A abordagem potencializa a individualidade dos praticantes a partir do despertar do corpo consciente. Dividida entre corpo físico e extracorpóreo, visa ampliar a consciência corporal, promovendo uma experiência pessoal e autoral. Ao entrelaçar essas esferas, busca-se compreender e apreender o corpo individualmente. Os pilares da pedagogia — visualização temática, sensibilização corpóreo-vocal e voz-dança — organizam essa prática.
Transportar como foi desenhado? - abordagens contemporâneas da mímica corporal de Étienne Decroux
Authors: Mascarenhas George
Published: September 2024

Encontrar uma voz própria que alinhe um sistema artístico tradicional às demandas da contemporaneidade é um dos maiores desafios enfrentados por mímicos corporais. Pouco mais de três décadas após o desaparecimento de Étienne Decroux, quais as estratégias utilizadas por artistas-mímicos pós-decrouxianos para lidar com essas demandas? O artigo destaca as estratégias utilizadas por mímicos contemporâneos na fricção entre o sistema e sua expressão artística pessoal. Transportar como está desenhado, incorporar técnicas distintas e explorar princípios de criação são algumas dessas estratégias que podem ser também aplicadas a outras práticas artísticas baseadas em relações mestre-aprendiz.
Una mosca sentada en mi plato
Authors: Garcia Lia
Published: September 2024

Este texto es un homenaje a la extrañeza y a la complejidad que nos habita. En clave poética se hilvana y se desmorona a la vez, para invitarnos a probar un fragmento de la historia personal que es la médula de la metodología encarnada que propone la autora. ¿Alguna vez nos detuvimos a preguntarnos qué implica ser humano? ¿Cuántas veces generamos sensibilidad con lo frágil? La mosca se hace a sí misma cuando aparece. Es ella quién incomoda por todo lo que es, pero ¿no será un espejo del propio ser?

A Political Question Doctrine for the CFSP
Authors: Verellen Thomas
Published: September 2024

On 10 September 2024, the CJEU issued its judgment in the joined cases of KS and KD, addressing the scope of its jurisdiction within the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Specifically, the Court asserted its jurisdiction in so far as the harm-causing conduct did not relate to “political or strategic” choices made in the context of the CFSP. I criticize the Court’s reliance on such an ill-defined concept to delineate the boundaries of its jurisdiction and argue that removing the limitations on the CJEU’s jurisdiction within the CFSP would require a reform of the Treaties.
Epileptic seizure detection using machine learning on electroencephalogram data
Authors: Gokturk Ayda , Luu Jacklyn
Published: September 2024

It is estimated that more than 1% of people in the US have epilepsy, a life-threatening neurological disease characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures, due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. The diagnostic process for epilepsy is very extensive and results in many misdiagnoses. We hypothesized that the implementation of machine learning, specifically utilizing Support Vector Machine (SVM), on preprocessed electroencephalogram (EEG) data would lead to improved accuracy in detecting epileptic seizures. Our study explored the application of machine learning in epileptic seizure detection using EEG data and aimed to improve the accuracy while limiting false positives. The study utilized a preprocessed EEG dataset and evaluated five machine learning models—Logistic Regression, K Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Random Forest, Neural Network, and SVM. We optimized model performance using hyperparameter tuning, the process of optimizing the parameters of a machine learning model to improve its performance, with a particular emphasis on recall. Results reveal that the SVM model outperforms others, achieving an accuracy of 96.77%, precision of 94.27%, and recall of 88.87%. We concluded by underscoring the need for further research to enhance model metrics, encompassing diverse datasets, alternative preprocessing techniques, and addressing privacy issues. This work contributes to advancing epilepsy diagnosis through machine learning applications, with implications for future developments in healthcare.

In this poem Papreen discusses her journey to the UK from Bangladesh, the obstacles she faced establishing an academic career here. She effortlessly glides through her many identities, describing the strength each one gave her to endure the migration experience. Papreen describes ‘wearing her intersectional badge with grace’ and how her ‘roots are in an intertwining brew’. Her poem and its contextual introduction are testament to how durable, resilient, and flexible our messy identities make us.
“What master do you serve?” Struggles in university EDI committees
Authors: Lam Joseph
Published: September 2024

In light of the recent suspension of the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) advisory group by UK Research and Innovation, this article invites a reflection from my observations as a member of an EDI committee of negative attitudes towards Advance Higher Education charters and EDI committees at higher education institutes. Using race equity as an example, I hope to suggest why these negative attitudes from institute members are by design inevitable, if the Advance Higher Education framework is the only angle in which EDI progress is understood.

Authors: Gitonga Rachael Wangari , Kalunda Elizabeth , Wambalaba Francis W
Published: September 2024

The research aimed to investigate the influence of asset quality on the financial performance of insurance companies. The study was anchored on the efficiency structure theory. Positivism research philosophy was employed with a descriptive research design that targeted a population of 56 general insurance and life insurance firms in Kenya. Secondary balanced panel data spanning 15 years from 2008 to 2022 was also used in the study. The secondary data was sourced from the financial statements of the firms and industry publications from the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). The quantitative data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics inform of percentages, frequencies, mean, and standard deviation. Additionally, a balanced dynamic panel data regression model was performed. Prior to fitting the panel regression model, diagnostic tests were undertaken to evaluate linearity, stationarity, normality of residuals, serial correlation, and homoscedasticity. The research included 41 insurance firms that met the inclusion criteria. The study results determined that asset quality has a statistically significant and negative influence on the financial performance of insurance companies in Kenya (β = -0.1956, t = -2.93, p = 0.003). The study concluded that asset quality is a collective consideration of diversification, liquidity, risk and liability profiles and thus plays a crucial role in influencing profitability. The study recommends that additional regulations should be instituted by the IRA that entail developing a range of targets on each of the aspects of asset quality.
Hawking Radiation Experimentally Verified? Can the Information Paradox be resolved?
Authors: Morelli Rocco
Published: September 2024

The Information Paradox should definitively be solved if the equivalence between mass, energy and information were proven through the experimentation proposed by M. Vopson at the IPI. However, the concrete ways in which this information is preserved are not yet exactly known, especially in case of a universe that may theoretically end its existence with heat death and the evaporation of black holes through Hawking radiation; which now seems to have been experimentally proven. Assuming by hypothesis that such a scenario may really occur, this article aims to suggest a possible speculative conjecture to deepen and develop this topic of interest also to the Science, Theology and the Ontological Quest (STOQ) disciplines. But the final word is left to an electron-positron annihilation experiment already designed and proposed by M.Vopson at the IPI and not yet carried out. Such an experiment aims to test whether with the annihilation of matter the information that could be encoded in photons of a specific expected frequency also disappears.

Di Desa Kwanji Sempidi, terdapat salah satu Gong Kebyar yang konon adalah Gong Kebyar pertama yang ada di Kelurahan Sempidi. Sekaa Gong Desa Kwanji, memiliki beberapa jenis tabuh lelambatan klasik yang menjadi ciri khas dari Gong Desa Kwanji seperti : Gilak Embat, Tabuh Pisan Kwanji, Tabuh Telu (Tabuh Telu Dang, Tabuh Telu Dung, Bebonangan) Tabuh Pat (Gagak, Semarandana, Lodra, Subandar, Saga Manis), Tabuh Lima, Tabuh Nem (Galang Kangin, Tangis), Tabuh Kutus, (Lasem Kwanji, Pelayon).  Tabuh-tabuh lelambatan tersebut sangat menarik dan mempunyai perbedaan dari jenis-jenis atau gaya penyajian gending lelambatan klasik pagongan pada umumnya. Akibat usia pemain yang semakin menua bahkan beberapa pemain (penglingsir) yang meninggal, ada beberapa jenis gending asli Gong Kwanji yang perlu “diselamatkan” dengan merekontruksinya kembali bersama regenerasi pemainnya yakni gending Gilak Embat dan Tabuh Pisan. Melalui metode wawancara dan demontrasi gending-gending ini dapat direkontruksi kembali dan dimainkan oleh generasi penerusnya dengan tetap mempertahankan gaya permainan dan pola-pola pukulan kekendangan, yang menjadi ciri khas dari Gong Kwanji. Proses rekontruksi ini melibatkan penglingsir Gong Kwanji dan Bendasa Adat Kwanji sebagai pengayom Gong Desa Kwanji.

Published: September 2024

The current study investigated the role of multidimensional factors including psychological, social and school related that promote refusal of school attitude in middle school students. Main objectives included exploring relationship between school refusal behaviors and bullying as an institutional factor and compare gender differences. Using quantitative approach, a correlational study design was used. A survey was carried out among a sample selected by convenient sampling comprising of 200 boys and girls (100 each) of middle school (aged 11-14 years) studying in grades 6-8 in four private and public school in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Structured questionnaires including SRAS-R, IBS and DASS were utilized to measure experience of bullying, school refusal and mental symptoms. It was hypothesized that i) the higher the experience of bullying and psychological distress, higher will be school refusal ii) boys will score higher on IBS, DASS and SRAS-R as compared to girls. Statistical analysis reveals that hypotheses were accepted and it was found that bullying is strongly associated with school refusal. Boys reported more bullying incidence as compared to girls. However, they did not vary in school refusal behavior. The information from this research can aid education and curriculum planners for managing SRB by formulating techniques of intervention based on evidence.
The efficacy of levonorgestrel intrauterine device, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and norethisterone acetate in the treatment of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia
Authors: Dinçgez Burcu , Özgen Gülten , Özgen Levent
Published: September 2024

Objectives: Pregestational treatments, which trigger apoptosis and suppress endometrium, are the gold standard therapy for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. The levonorgestrel-intrauterine device is the first choice in current guidelines due to its low dose. Still, oral progestins have no clear evidence due to their lower regression rates and side effects. Here, we aimed to compare the regression rates, hysterectomy requirement, and the occurrence of side effects in the sixth month between the levonorgestrel-intrauterine device, norethisterone acetate, and medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment.
Methods: A total of 60 patients were included. The study group was divided into three groups: levonorgestrel-intrauterine device group (n=20), norethisterone acetate group (n=20), and medroxyprogesterone acetate group (n=20). Demographic findings, body mass index, gravida, parity, comorbid diseases, regression, hysterectomy requirement, patient desire to continue treatment, and side effects such as amenorrhea, headache, weight gain, intermenstrual spotting, nausea, and breast tenderness were compared between three groups.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the three groups regarding headache, weight gain, intermenstrual spotting, and breast tenderness. Regression rates were significantly higher in the levonorgestrel intrauterine device group compared to medroxyprogesterone acetate (p=0.044) and norethisterone acetate group (p=0.020). Similarly, hysterectomy rates were significantly lower in the levonorgestrel intrauterine device group compared to medroxyprogesterone acetate (p=0.031) and norethisterone acetate group (p=0.028). Amenorrhea was significantly more common in the levonorgestrel intrauterine device group than in other groups (p=0.020 for both), whereas nausea was rarer in the levonorgestrel intrauterine device group (p=0.047 for both). According to the patient’s satisfaction, the levonorgestrel intrauterine device was the most satisfactory treatment compared to medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone acetate (p=0.028 and p=0.031). No significant difference was found between the medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone acetate groups in terms of regression rates, hysterectomy requirements, amenorrhea, nausea, and patient satisfaction.
Conclusion: Considering low hysterectomy requirement, high regression rates, and patient satisfaction, the levonorgestrel intrauterine device should be the first choice for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia as compared to oral progestins. Thus, patients must be informed about side effects and offered levonorgestrel intrauterine devices before oral progestins for endometrial hyperplasia without atypia.

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the mediating role of ethical culture in the effect of organizational support and organizational trust perceptions of healthcare professionals on their whistleblowing tendencies. The universe of the study consists of 12,669 employees working in hospitals with 18 Joint Commission International quality and accreditation certificates serving in Istanbul, Turkey. The sample of the study consists of 589 employees, who were easily reached by sampling technique. Study data were collected online. Descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analyses, difference analyses, confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis and mediation analyzes were performed for the data. It has been observed that the perception of organizational trust and organizational support of health workers has a mediating role in the effect of ethical culture on internal whistleblowing and silence tendencies. It was observed that the perception of organizational trust and organizational support did not affect the perception of external whistleblowing. While the support and trust of the organization are important factors in the whistleblowing of unethical or illegal situations in the hospital environment to the relevant authorities through internal whistleblowing, it has been concluded that the ethical culture has an important determining power in this relationship.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the publications on radiation safety in healthcare. The data in the study was obtained from the Web of Science, and bibliometric analysis was performed with SciMAT software. To filter the literature from the database, the search criteria “radiation safety,” or “radiation protection” (topic), and “medicine” (search in all fields), and “articles” (document types) were used between 1990 and 2023. Four-thousand-four-hundred-thirty-nine (4439) publications meeting these criteria were found. The most frequent keyword was “radiation safety” (n=1250). The countries with the most publications in the literature were the United States of America (n=1172) and Germany (n=519). Türkiye (n=145) ranked fifteenth. Studies on passive protection in radiation protection came to the fore in the 1990s. Scientific studies focused on high radiation exposure modalities, such as computed tomography and interventional radiology, in the 2000s. Since 2010, studies on active radiation protection have come to the fore. A changing trend can be seen in radiation safety in medicine, from an employee-oriented approach to a patient- and employee-oriented approach and from passive protection to passive and active protection measures. Optimization studies are gaining importance, especially in interventional radiology and computed tomography. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on radiation safety in medicine, revealing the field’s historical development and current research trends. By identifying significant gaps and future focal points in the research area, this analysis offers valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and healthcare professionals, thus contributing significantly to the literature.
ENGELLİLİĞE AYARLANMIŞ YAŞAM YILLARI (DALY) İLE KİŞİ BAŞI CARİ SAĞLIK HARCAMASI İLİŞKİSİNİN ÜLKE GELİR GRUPLARINA GÖRE İNCELENMESİ

Ülkelerin artan sağlık harcamalarını kontrol altına alma çabası sağlık sonuçları ile sağlık harcamaları arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın temel amacı gelir düzeyine göre belirlenen ülke gruplarında kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması ve DALY arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın temel amacına bağlı olarak 2000 yılından 2019 yılına kadar kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması ve DALY eğiliminin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Dünya Bankası, Sağlık Ölçümleri ve Değerlendirme Enstitüsü (Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation – IHME) ve Dünya Sağlık Örgütü veri tabanlarından veriler toplanmıştır. Veriler 2000 – 2019 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada öncelikle eğilim analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. DALY ve kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması arasındaki ilişkinin test edilmesinde Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Ülke grupları içerisinde DALY ve kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması arasındaki ilişkinin test edilmesinde ise Kruskal-Wallis H test yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Üç veya daha fazla grup arasında anlamlı fark tespit edildiğinde değişkenlerin ikili kıyaslanmasında Bonferroni düzeltmesi uygulanmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre tüm ülke gruplarında 2000 – 2019 yılları arasında kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması artarken; DALY oranları azalmıştır. Kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması ile DALY oranı arasında negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır. Ülke grupları içerisinde sadece düşük gelirli ekonomilerde kişi başı cari sağlık harcaması ve DALY arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Sağlık harcamalarının artırılmasıyla sağlık sonuçlarında iyileşmelerin yaşanabileceği düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca gelir gruplarına göre önlenebilir DALY başı maliyetin de farklılaşabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Düşük gelirli ülkelerde DALY başı maliyetin yüksek gelirli ülkelere göre daha düşük olabileceği varsayılmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda sonraki çalışmalarda ülke gruplarına göre önlenebilir DALY başı maliyetin hesaplanması ve özellikle düşük gelirli ekonomilerde DALY ile ilişki olabilecek sağlığın sosyal belirleyicilerinin de değerlendirilmeye alınması önerilmektedir.
