Authors: Haugen Josefine , Prenevost Mathilde Hallingstad , Nilsen Ida Bekke Rønneberg , Reber Rolf
Published: September 2023

Previous research has revealed that aha-experiences improve learning and enhance motivation. Hence, knowledge about aha-experiences in children may enable educators to enhance learning experiences. The current study aims to provide a basic knowledge about aha-experiences in children, for example, at what age they appear and on which topics. To answer these questions, we collected parental reports from two different populations (a Norwegian sample and an international sample of English-speaking parents). A content analysis of more than 600 stories of children's aha-experiences yielded three main findings: (1) Parents reported that children have aha-experiences already as infants; (2) Children have aha-experiences on various topics related to action and cognition; (3) The focus of the aha-stories shifts from action to cognition with age. In addition to the main findings, there are indications that children's aha-experiences share qualities with aha-experiences in adults. Our findings provide first insights into aha-experiences in infancy and childhood and may have implications for understanding what motivates children's learning and cognitive development.
Evaluating What Works in the Classroom - How French Primary School Teachers Apply the Science of Learning
Authors: Massonnié Jessica , Lucchesi Adeline , Le Brun Isabelle
Published: September 2023

Evidence-based education is gaining momentum in France. The Ministry of Education has created an expert committee (le Conseil Scientifique de l’Education Nationale) which aims at: (1) compiling, synthesizing, publicising evidence on learning mechanisms; (2) building bridges between research and practice to evaluate educational practices and create practical tools for teachers. Teachers are expected to possess a strong foundation in scientific literacy, to remain perpetually informed and to meaningfully participate in research. It is unclear if and how the CSEN vision is received by teachers. We investigated: (1) Where French primary school teachers’ knowledge about learning comes from; (2) How they define ‘evidence-based’ education; (3) How they know that a pedagogical method ‘works’; (4) What conditions they believe are important for a successful collaboration between researchers and teachers. Fourteen teachers participated in semi-structured focus groups. Thematic analyses shed light on the four research questions. First, teachers were frustrated about their professional training and proactively used complementary resources. Second, although most teachers were familiar with research, several of them saw scientists as belonging to a different ‘crew’. Teachers use a diversity of methods to evaluate pedagogical practices, considering that research evidence brings legitimacy to their decisions, yet does not replace their professional intuition. Third, teachers use evaluation tools, a positive classroom climate and observations of children taking ownership of their learning as evidence of good practice. Fourth, they would like to work with scientists to identify research measures and investigate their own pedagogical research questions, building flexible and direct partnerships. Results from the focus groups are discussed with teachers to co-create a larger-scale survey and further inform local professional development offers.

Indonesia has a lot of natural wealth of spices. The diversity of spices is an inseparable aspect of Indonesian history. Spices and seasonings are biological resources that have long played an important role in human life. Indonesian spices have almost the same color and shape. The purpose of this study was to analyze the performance of the Naïve Bayes variation method in classifying spices using a Histogram Of Oriented Gradient (HOG) feature extraction. Based on 3 tests, the performance of the four Naïve Bayes variation methods carried out in this study, it can be seen that testing 5 types of spices using the Gaussian Naïve Bayes method obtained the best performance with an accuracy of 0.946, a precision of 0.95, a recall of 0.945, f1 score of 0.947, f beta score of 0.946, and Jaccard score of 0.90. Where as using the Complement Naïve Bayes method gets the lowest performance. From the results of this study it can be concluded that by utilizing HOG feature extraction and the Naïve Bayes variation method, maximum classification results are obtained in classifying spices. To obtain more accurate classification results, consider using other methods and other feature extraction

Published: September 2023

The Internet has become a basic need for every human being in carrying out his activities. To find out the quality of the internet network, a measurement called the Quality of Service is needed. Quality of service measurement can help in evaluating the performance of internet network providers. Data collection was carried out by monitoring while using YouTube and conducting video meetings using the Zoom application using the Wirleshark software with a viewing time of 30 minutes using the 10 Mbps Iconnet package. The number of users of the Iconnet internet network in this study amounted to 5 users. The data collected in this study were processed using QUALITY OF SERVICE parameters such as throughput, packet loss, delay, and jittler. Then an analysis was carried out by comparing the data obtained with the TIPHON standard. Data collection was carried out at Bumi Mi'Raj Housing, Jalan Bangau Sakti, Pekanbaru City. The results of the 10 Mbps iconnet network research have a very good delay value with an average of 21.75 ms and a very good packet loss with an average of 0.46%. The jitter parameter is in the good category with an average of 24.80 ms and the throughput parameter is in the bad category with an average of 258 kbps. The use of the 10 Mbps iconnet network can be used to play Youtube videos with 360p quality resolution with a total of 5 users. The more users of the 10 Mbps iconnet network, the effect will be a decrease in the quality of the Quality of Service parameter. The use of the iconnet network is better used on the slowest walk than on the slowest time.

Published: September 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic due to its rapid spread and infection of people worldwide. The emergence of COVID-19 vaccines has garnered both support and rejection from the public. Some people support the vaccines, while others remain cautious, even though the government provides them for free. The procurement of coronavirus vaccines has generated diverse opinions in society. COVID-19 vaccines have become a trending topic on social media, particularly on Twitter. This research aims to explore public opinions on the COVID-19 vaccine. The methods used in this study include data collection, text preprocessing, TF-IDF, multilayer perceptron algorithm, and testing with confusion matrices. Out of a total of 228,208 positive, negative, and neutral opinions from Twitter users about the COVID-19 vaccine, with a training-to-testing ratio of 90% to 100%, the model will learn more by using a large amount of training data. The performance results of this research obtained the highest accuracy of 81.2%, precision of 83.8%, and recall of 71.2%. The results of sentiment analysis can be seen in the public opinions on the COVID-19 vaccine, which are divided into three categories: 35% positive opinions, 16.3% negative opinions, and 48.7% neutral opinions. The word cloud results show that positive opinions revolve around three topics: availability, cost, and dosage. Negative opinions from Twitter users about the COVID-19 vaccine focus on two main issues: vaccine side effects and deaths. Neutral opinions cover three topics, including dosage, availability, age, and expiration date

Authors: Agustyar Fikriansyah Dava , Aditya Addin , Aminah Siti , Tirtana Arif
Published: September 2023

The process of public complaints is carried out in a structured manner starting from the central government level to the village government level. In practice, the problem in the public complaint process is when the community as the service user is dissatisfied with the services provided because the complaints submitted are not properly managed or responded to by the complaint officer. The business process for public complaint services in Tunjungtirto village is still carried out conventionally, where people who wish to submit complaints must go to the Village Consultative Body (BPD) office and fill in complaints or aspirations in the community aspirations data book. This is prone to conditions where public complaints are not followed up because they are not properly recorded. This study aims to build a website-based information system with features for complaints, aspirations, and requests for information. The system development method used in this study is the waterfall method where the method is sequential-based software development. The results of application development will be tested at the Tunjungtirto Village BPD office. Based on black box testing, the test results are obtained with a maximum score of 2 for each feature. This shows that in terms of functionality, the application is running according to its purpose. The existence of main features such as displaying complaint data and automatic notifications on the application can assist village officials in managing community complaints and responding to and following up on complaints to the service or escalating complaints to the local government so that community complaints can be managed properly.
Geometrical causality: casting Feynman integrals into quantum algorithms
Authors: Sborlini German Fabricio Roberto
Published: September 2023

The calculation of higher-order corrections in Quantum Field Theories is a challenging task. In particular, dealing with multiloop and multileg Feynman amplitudes leads to severe bottlenecks and a very fast scaling of the computational resources required to perform the calculation. With the purpose of overcoming these limitations, we discuss efficient strategies based on the Loop-Tree Duality, its manifestly causal representation and the underlying geometrical interpretation. In concrete, we exploit the geometrical causal selection rules to define a Hamiltonian whose ground-state is directly related to the terms contributing to the causal representation. In this way, the problem can be translated into a minimization one and implemented in a quantum computer to search for a potential speed-up.

Recent experimental results are analyzed to study hard and soft hadron production mechanisms within and out of the jets. The result of this work is the study of hadron production within and out of the jets produced in proton-proton collisions generated using Pythia 8.3 event generator. We report color reconnection effects on jet multiplicity, multiplicity for identified particles within the jets and transverse momenta distributions at 7 and 13 TeV.
The CBVE Model—Keystone and Stimulus for Educational Transformation in Veterinary Schools
Authors: Read Emma K. , Gonya Jennifer
Published: September 2023

The AAVMC CBVE (American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges Competency-Based Veterinary Education) model was developed in three parts and published in 2018–2019, providing an evidence-based foundation for use in all aspects of veterinary curricula management from review to redesign and continuous curricular improvement. The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine (OSU CVM) recently undertook a comprehensive review and complete redesign of their curriculum, incorporating all the components of the CBVE model and, in the process, developed a continuous curricular improvement system that may serve other veterinary programs making similar changes. Anchoring the CBVE model within an adapted LEAN approach for systemic change created an outcomes-aligned system for faculty to engage with for curricular development, oversight, and modification based on continuous data collection and analysis. Even though the CBVE model has been in existence for 5 years, confusion remains as to how the three parts of the model best work together and how they can be used for much more than just curriculum redesign, and programs report struggle with how to effectively implement and manage the model. We share how the CBVE model has not only driven our college's curriculum redesign, but how it has also created an opportunity to develop a foundational educational system focused on competency, continual improvement, and innovation. This emerging system for managing curricular change acts in accordance with accreditation demands for ensuring faculty ownership and provides documented evidence-based processes for any changes undertaken.
ПРОТИСТОЯННЯ ЧИ СПІВЖИТТЯ: УКРАЇНО-ЄВРЕЙСЬКІ ВІДНОСИНИ НА ВОЛИНІ В ХІХ – НА ПОЧАТКУ ХХ СТ.
Authors: Доценко Віктор Олегович , Жолоб Михайло Петрович
Published: September 2023

На основі аналізу наукових праць провідних українських та зарубіжних істориків, а також завдяки залученню архівних джерел здійснено авторську спробу огляду становища єврейських мешканців та українського населення Волині протягом ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. в контексті відносин між цими двома народами. Встановлено, що смуга єврейської осілості, яка була створена в регіоні російським самодержавним урядом, загострила в краї соціально-економічну ситуацію. Дискримінаційне імперське законодавство примусило євреїв сконцентрувати свої громади у волинських містечках, що спричинило перенаселення поряд із жорсткою конкуренцією між ними у сфері професійної зайнятості. Однак створена владою ситуація дозволила місцевим єврейським традиційним громадам зберігати власне віросповідання, мову та культурну ідентичність. Одночасно відзначається, що українці, як православний слов’янський етнос, піддавалися жорсткій асиміляційній політиці. Російські урядовці заборонили українську мову в освіті та публіцистиці. Стверджується, що у межах сільського простору Волині між євреями та українцями відбувалося поступове взаємопроникнення культур, яке супроводжувалось появою нових слів, виразів, стереотипних моделей розуміння поведінки своїх сусідів. Проте на селянство Волині значний вплив мало місцеве православне російське духовенство, яке прищеплювало українцям антисемітські погляди. Встановлено, що в соціально-економічних стосунках між українцями і євреями існувала неприхована конкуренція, яка супроводжувалась ворожістю один до одного. Часто на сприйнятті євреями і українцями один одного впливали побутові конфліктні ситуації, зокрема під час торгових операцій на місцевих ярмарках. Згадується, що українці і євреї були залучені до процесів модернізації, яку проводили російські урядовці в другій половині ХІХ – на початку ХХ ст. У цей час обидва народи включились у розбудову власних політичних проєктів.

Authors: Zhao Heather J. , Stennett Rosain , Kirkpatrick Sharon I. , de Souza Russell J.
Published: September 2023

Purpose: We conducted a pilot survey among young adults attending a suburban Canadian university to understand: (1) knowledge of the 2019 Canada’s Food Guide (CFG); (2) self-reported food choices and eating habits; (3) perceived influence of the CFG on food choices and eating habits; and (4) suggestions to improve engagement with CFG.

Methods: Students were recruited, through posts on social media platforms, to complete an online questionnaire between 7 March and 6 April 2020.

Results: One-hundred and twenty-one (70% women) students responded. One-third (33%) of women and 8% of men reported consuming the recommended proportion of vegetables and fruits (i.e., 40%–60% of the plate) at their most recent meal (P = 0.001). Men were more likely to report overconsuming protein foods than women (58% vs 32%, P = 0.005). The perceived influence of the CFG on food choices and eating habits was low, with a mean score 2.2 ± 1.4 out of 7, with 7 indicating “highly influential.” Over 92% of participants believed awareness of the CFG could be improved through social media platforms.

Conclusions: Although half of the participants correctly answered all 8 questions that assessed knowledge of the CFG, there is an opportunity for dietitians and related health professionals to improve engagement with CFG.

Introduction
Authors: Weichselbraun Anna , Galvin Shaila Seshia , McKay Ramah
Published: September 2023

What do we mean when we talk about trust? Contemporary discourses figure trust variously as a problem, an aspiration, an object of intervention, and something to be dispensed with all together. While the current moment demands new ways of thinking about trust, so too does scholarly work on trust demand similar renewal and reconsideration. To accomplish this, we depart from approaches that engage trust as a diagnostic for analysing other phenomena or objects of study, often with an emphasis on its instrumental importance. Our special issue instead approaches trust as something that itself needs to be problematised. The individual articles demonstrate the theoretical and methodological possibilities afforded through ethnographic study of the practices, technologies, and infrastructures that are often claimed as necessary to produce or sustain it.
The New Testament and the Qur'an as Depicted in Abraham Silveira's ‘Telling’ Mute Book
Authors: Liberatoscioli Davide
Published: September 2023

Interfaith controversies and disputes regarding the role of reason in interpreting the Scriptures characterised scholarly discussion in the Low Countries between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Jewish author Abraham Gómez Silveira contributed to this discussion with an eclectic body of literature. This article focuses on his Libro Mudo (Mute Book), which embodies his efforts to present the Jewish religion as the only rational one and the Christian dogma as irrational. In order to corroborate his reading, Silveira mostly bases his argumentation on non-Jewish texts. By selecting passages from the New Testaments, Christian religious commentaries as well as Qur'anic excerpts, Silveira aims to demonstrate that even non-Jewish sources prove the rationality of the Jewish theological system. The novelty of Silveira's approach consists in confuting Christian dogma by accepting the Gospels as reliable historical sources. In this argumentative structure, the Qur'an has a similar although not identical function.
A geographic and urban planning view of military administrative divisions
Authors: Sayadyan Hamik , Gevorgyan Ashot
Published: September 2023

The following issues are discussed in this article: military-geographic regionalization questions, the relationship between the Earth's surface and the geographic sphere, two main types of divisions - physio-geographic territorial and economic-territorial divisions, the administrative-territorial division of different states, and the problem of complex physical-geographical zoning differentiation objectively through the existing natural-territorial complex of different ranks and varying degrees of complexity. By examining the military-administrative divisions of the US and Russian Federation, both past and present, it is concluded that these divisions are based on geographic-territorial considerations, encompassing continents, states, and interior administrative area boundaries. These divisions facilitate the optimal command and control of troops. The joint staff of the armed forces, responsible for strategic territorial division into different commands, considers and analyzes various components of the geographical background during the initial phase of combat operations, providing strategic advantages for regional commands in the theatre of military operations. This approach forms the basis for the efficient utilization of different types of forces.

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the development of publications on sustainable organizational development using the SCOPUS database. This research uses a bibliometric analysis approach using VOSviewer software to build and visualize bibliometric networks. Researchers conducted screening with the keyword sustainable organizational development in the SCOPUS database in the 2018–2022-time span. The number of publications according to the keywords used was 1,916 documents. Then, filtering was carried out, and the results obtained were 394 publications. The development of publications on Sustainable Organizational Development within 5 years tends to continue to increase and reach its highest point in 2022. Based on the results of the analysis with VOSviewer, the results of network visualization of cooccurrence based on keywords are 55 items divided into 6 clusters marked with different colors. The results of this study show that research on sustainable organizational development contributes greatly to the scientific focus of management. This is then supported by the phenomenon that change is always faced by a company, so it requires steps and strategies so that the company can sustain these changes and adapt. The results of the analysis using VOSviewer software produce network visualization, overlay, and density, and it can be concluded that within five years, the development of publications or research on this topic has increased significantly.

Motywy rekursu hierarchicznego do kongregacji Kurii Rzymskiej
Authors: Marčin Józef
Published: September 2023

Przedmiotem artykułu są motywy rekursu hierarchicznego do kongregacji Kurii Rzymskiej. Prawodawca ogólnie stanowi, że rekurs hierarchiczny może zostać wniesiony z jakiejkolwiek słusznej przyczyny. Słusznym motywem jego wniesienia może być każda wada aktu administracyjnego rozpatrywana w kontekście okoliczności, w jakich akt został wydany przez organ władzy wykonawczej w Kościele i ma być stosowany. W związku z tym wyróżnia się dwa rodzaje motywów: formalne (causa petendi) i podmiotowe (petitum). Osoba wnosząca rekurs powinna wskazać obiektywną normę prawną, która – jej zdaniem – została naruszona przez akt administracyjny. Sama zaś instytucja rekursu hierarchicznego służy ochronie praw wiernych oraz stosowaniu sprawiedliwości administracyjnej.
Religious Freedom in the Papacy of Pope Benedict XVI. Seven Years of Interventions before the UN
Authors: Riobó Alfonso
Published: September 2023

The article presents the most important aspects of the interventions made by the representatives of the Holy See before the United Nations dealing with the question of religious freedom, in the seven years since Benedict XVI was called to the Papal throne. In many parts of the World, difficulties with regard to religious freedom have increased or acquired new forms. The interventions are related to those questions under debate in each case and in the circumstances of that given moment. Nevertheless, they denote a remarkable coherency and help to understand how the pontifical diplomacy has promoted the right to religious freedom between 2005 and 2012, and express at the level of international relations the thoughts and priorities of Benedict XVI as head of the Catholic Church.

Administracja publiczna może być analizowana z punktu widzenia wielu dziedzin prawa. Przede wszystkim administracja publiczna znajduje się w sferze nauk społecznych, zwłaszcza dwóch z nich: nauki prawa i nauk o administracji. W artykule Autor przedstawia naukę administracji jako ogólną teorię administracji. Nauka ta koncentruje się na ogólnej teorii systemów, w szczególności: misja administracji publicznej czy kontakty administracji publicznej z otoczeniem. Badania dotyczą pozycji i zachowań uczestników organizacji i w konsekwencji – systemu administracji publicznej. Następnie Autor skupia się na zastosowaniu podejścia systemowego w nauce administracji. Zastosowanie to może przyczynić się do tworzenia koncepcji badań nad rzeczywistością administracyjną i stworzenia własnego systemu pojęć badawczych.

Induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition in thyroid follicular cells is associated with cell adhesion alterations and low-dose hyper-radiosensitivity
Authors: Mathur Ankit , Chinnadurai Vijayakumar , Bhalla Param Jit Singh , Chandna Sudhir
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is associated with altered cellular adhesion. We previously demonstrated that cellular adhesion influences Low-dose Hyper-Radiosensitivity (HRS) in a variety of tumor cells. However, the relationship of low-dose HRS with the phenotypic plasticity incurred by EMT during the neoplastic transformation remains to be elucidated.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate whether acquisition of EMT phenotype during progressive neoplastic transformation may affect low-dose radiation sensitivity.

METHODS:

Primary thyroid cells obtained from a human cystic thyroid nodule were first subjected to nutritional stress. This yielded immortalized INM-Thy1 cell strain, which was further treated with either multiple γ-radiation fractions (1.5 Gy each) or repetitive cycles of 3-methylcholanthrene and phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, yielding two progressive transformants, viz., INM-Thy1R and INM-Thy1C. Morphological alterations, chromosomal double-minutes, cell adhesion proteins, anchorage dependency, tumorigenicity in nude mice and cellular radiosensitivity were studied in these strains.

RESULTS:

Both transformants (INM-Thy1R, INM-Thy1C) displayed progressive tumorigenic features, viz., soft agar colony growth and solid tumor growth in nude mice, coupled with features of epithelial-mesenchymal transition and activated Wnt pathway. Incidentally, the chemical-induced transformant (INM-Thy1C) displayed a prominent HRS (αs/αr = 29.35) which remained unaffected at high cell density. However, the parental (INM-Thy1) cell line as well as radiation-induced transformant (INM-Thy1R) failed to show this hypersensitivity.

CONCLUSION:

The study shows that induction of EMT in thyroid follicular cells may accompany increased susceptibility to low-dose ionizing radiation, which was attenuated by adaptive resistance acquired during radiation-induced transformation.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic had direct and indirect impacts on public health, also affecting the mental health of the population. OBJECTIVE: To analyze symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and associated factors, in primary health care (PHC) professionals. METHODS: Cross-sectional and analytical study conducted with professionals who work in the Primary Health Care (PHC) of the Northern health macro-region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection was carried out through an online, self-administered questionnaire, made available from August 27, 2021, to October 30, 2021 using the Google Forms tool. The questionnaire included sociodemographic questions as well as questions related to the history of anxiety and work during the pandemic. To assess anxiety symptoms, the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) instrument was used. Data treatment consisted of descriptive analysis of the variables, bivariate analysis followed by multivariate Poisson Regression with robust variance. RESULTS: 702 health professionals participated in the study and the general prevalence of GAD was 32.2%. Current anxiety symptoms were self-reported by 37.6% of the participants. In the final model, the associated factors identified were: female sex (PR = 1.82; 95% CI = 1.17–2.84; p = 0.007), previous symptoms (PR = 1.58; 95% CI = 1.19–2.10; p = 0.002) and (PR = 2.68; 95% CI = 2.00–3.62; p < 0.001) current self-reported anxiety. CONCLUSION: The results show the need to implement actions in mental health promotion and anxiety prevention, through the dissemination of information about mental health care, health education activities, encouraging the adoption of healthy habits and professional monitoring when necessary.
A densely connected LDCT image denoising network based on dual-edge extraction and multi-scale attention under compound loss
Authors: Lina Jia , Xu He , Aimin Huang , Beibei Jia , Zhiguo Gui
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:

Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) uses lower radiation dose, but the reconstructed images contain higher noise that can have negative impact in disease diagnosis. Although deep learning with the edge extraction operators reserves edge information well, only applying the edge extraction operators to input LDCT images does not yield overall satisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE:

To improve LDCT images quality, this study proposes and tests a dual edge extraction multi-scale attention mechanism convolution neural network (DEMACNN) based on a compound loss.

METHODS:

The network uses edge extraction operators to extract edge information from both the input images and the feature maps in the network, improving the utilization of the edge operators and retaining the images edge information. The feature enhancement block is constructed by fusing the attention mechanism and multi-scale module, enhancing effective information, while suppressing useless information. The residual learning method is used to learn the network, improving the performance of the network, and solving the problem of gradient disappearance. Except for the network structure, a compound loss function, which consists of the MSE loss, the proposed joint total variation loss, and the edge loss, is proposed to enhance the denoising ability of the network and reserve the edge of images.

RESULTS:

Compared with other advanced methods (REDCNN, CT-former and EDCNN), the proposed new network achieves the best PSNR and SSIM values in LDCT images of the abdomen, which are 33.3486 and 0.9104, respectively. In addition, the new network also performs well on head and chest image data.

CONCLUSION:

The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed new network structure and denoising algorithm not only effectively removes the noise in LDCT images, but also protects the edges and details of the images well.
The Dynamics of Talent Drain in China: A Study on Eastern Chinese University Students' Study Abroad Intentions
Authors: Li Jingjing
Published: September 2023

Since the reform and opening-up policy, the intentions of university students in Eastern China to study abroad have become increasingly intense, diverse, and complex. With the changing landscape of study abroad intentions among university students, strategies at various levels have also evolved accordingly. In contemporary times, government, universities, intermediaries, and families should collaborate on macro-guidance, promotional guidance, assistance, and rational education to help university students develop a correct perspective on studying abroad. This paper further analyzes the phenomenon of talent drain in China and provides reasonable solutions based on this foundation.
Planetary consciousness incites probably transcendent feelings and deepens the polarization of worldviews
Authors: Brodziak Andrzej , Abram Danuta , Różyk-Myrta Alicja
Published: September 2023

The authors postulate that their recently published theory explaining the essence of human self-awareness is useful to consider whether a personal planetary consciousness is emerging on our planet. Their earlier published theory posits that the feeling of self-awareness can be effectively explained when it is assumed that it arises as a result of the interaction of three processes, namely the feeling of qualia, the recurrent activity of neural circuits realizing the self-image, and the formation of the brain's electromagnetic field, important for the sense of subjectivity. This allows the authors in the next stage of inference to consider whether it is possible to find analogical elements and processes on a planetary scale. The authors specify the layers of distributed intelligence emerging on Earth. This allows them to consider the concept of a planetary global brain. The authors believe that the recent, quite unexpected, widespread use of new global-scale artificial intelligence systems such as Chat/GPT is an argument in favor of the formation of a global brain. Next, the authors mention the first known published intuitions related to planetary consciousness, especially Teilhard de Chardin's concept of the noosphere. The authors also indicate the observable manifestations of existence of alleged planetary consciousness. They believe that people's transcendent feelings should be considered as such its manifestation. They hypothesize that the recently observed polarization of worldviews is also magnified by alleged emerging planetary consciousness. The authors, drawing on the analogy between brain hemisphere specialization and the planet's two ideological blocks, conclude that it's vital to patiently moderate conflicts and accept that altering this pattern is unfeasible. Some other practical conclusions are also formulated.

AbstrakRabies merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang cukup serius terutama di daerah dan telah masuk dalam program daerah namun terabaikan selama masa pandemi. Seorang anak laki laki berusia empat tahun dibawa ke RSUD TC Hillers Maumere datang dengan keluhan demam dan mual muntah lebih dari lima kali. Dari anamnesis melalui keluarganya diketahui bahwa pasien memiliki riwayat digigit anjing di area wajah dan pergelangan tangan kanan pada 14 hari sebelum muncul keluhan. Pada kasus ini pasien sudah mendapatkan perawatan luka dan Vaksin Anti Rabies (VAR) dosis kedua tetapi tidak mendapatkan Serum Anti Rabies (SAR). Pada kasus dengan area gigitan resiko tinggi, pemberian VAR harus disertai pemberian SAR untuk mengurangi moralitas. Kata kunci: rabies, serum anti-rabies, anakAbstract Rabies is a serious public health problem, especially in the regions and has been included in regional programs but neglected during the pandemic. A four-year-old boy taken to TC Hillers Maumere Hospital came in complaining of fever and nausea, vomiting more than five times. From the history through his family, it is known that the patient had a history of being bitten by a dog in the face and right wrist area in the 14 days before complaints appeared. In this case, the patient has received wound care and the second dose of Anti-Rabies Vaccine (VAR) but did not get Anti-Rabies Serum (SAR). In cases with high-risk bite areas, VAR should be accompanied by SAR to reduce mortality.  Keywords: rabies, anti-rabies serum, child
