Çin’in Hubei eyaleti Wuhan şehrinde 31 Aralık 2019’da SARS-CoV-2 adlı virüsün yayılımı ile ortaya çıkan ve Covid-19 adı verilen salgın kısa zamanda ülkemiz de dahil tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan bir pandemiye dönüşmüştür.Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün 17 Nisan 2021’deki verilerine göre; SARS-CoV-2 ile enfekte kişi sayısı 130 milyonu geçmiştir ve şimdiye kadar yaklaşık 3 milyon insan hayatını kaybetmiştir.Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Covid-19 ile ilgili dünya genelinde pek çok araştırma yapılmasına rağmen, henüz pandemi durdurulamamıştır.Küresel salgının başlangıcından bu yana Covid-19 hastalarının etkin tedavisi için ilaç çalışmaları hızla sürdürülmesine, pandeminin yayılımını önlemek için koruyucu aşı oluşturma ile ilgili virolojik çalışmalar ve aşılama çalışmaları büyük bir çaba ile yürütülmesine rağmen pandemi hala ve hızla devam etmektedir.Bu bağlamda Covid-19’dan korunmanın tek yolu; aşıya ulaşıncaya kadar hatta aşı yapılsa bile rahatlığa ve rehavete kapılmadan pandeminin bireysel kontrolü ve yönetimidir.Maske kullanımı, sosyal mesafe, el temizliği, hijyen, bireysel izolasyon gibi kişisel koruyucu önlemler bu süreçteki bireysel pandemi yönetiminin temel bileşenleridir.Pandemi süreci başladığından bu yana neredeyse tüm medyada Covid-19’un etkin yönetimi için gerekli bireysel ve toplumsal korunma yöntemleri ile ilgili olarak virologlar, mikrobiyologlar ve enfeksiyon uzmanları kitle iletişim araçları ile toplumu bilgilendirmeyi amaçlamakta ve çabalamaktadır.Fakat tüm bu uyarı ve bilgilendirmelere rağmen, dünyadaki ve ülkemizdeki vaka sayıları ve ölüm oranlarındaki artış;Covid-19’un bireysel yönetiminin hala etkin olarak sağlanamadığını göstermektedir.Bilgi; istendik davranış değişikliği için gerekli fakat yeterli değildir. Edinilen doğru bilgileri davranışa dönüştürmek için kişilerin sosyolojik ve psikolojik birtakım faktörleri taşımaları gerekir.Bu faktörlerin başında otokontrol, sorumluluk ve empati yer almaktadır.
Inmersión, redes sociales y narrativa transmedia: la modalidad de recepción inclusiva
Authors: Gauthier Philippe
Published: March 2023

En el presente artículo, sostengo que las redes sociales se convierten en el sitio principal de

un nuevo conjunto de relaciones entre la ficción y la realidad en la narración transmedia al permitir la interacción entre los personajes (en el mundo ficticio) y los interactores (en el mundo real). Estas relaciones subyacen a un nuevo modo de recepción, que propongo llamar el modo de recepción inclusivo. A diferencia del modo de recepción “inmersivo”, cuyo objetivo final es sustituir una realidad por otra alterando la realidad del interactor y sumergiéndolos en un mundo ficticio completamente diferente, el objetivo principal del modo de recepción “inclusivo” es posibilitar el coexistencia simultánea de dos mundos (los de la realidad cotidiana del interactor y del mundo ficticio que consumen) y conectarlos utilizando las redes sociales como interfaz.
Feminilidades, masculinidades e performatividade de gênero no balé: aproximações e desvios da lógica heteronormativa
Authors: Souza Maria Thereza Oliveira , Moraes e Silva Marcelo , Mendes Capraro André
Published: March 2023

O presente estudo foi construído a partir de observação direta, realizada entre fevereiro de 2019 e março de 2020, em uma escola de balé na cidade de Curitiba, vinculada a um dos mais reconhecidos teatros do Brasil. Seu objetivo foi dissertar sobre as performatividades de gênero dos indivíduos no balé e sobre as formas de institucionalização dos papéis masculinos e femininos no que tange a oposição binária e romântica nesse contexto. Buscou-se, também, delinear os comportamentos dos rapazes em relação às moças em ambiente historicamente dominado por elas. Percebeu-se que o balé se mostra como uma eficiente ferramenta para a produção da feminilidade clássica e que as diferenciações de gênero são enfatizadas nesse contexto. Entretanto, os rapazes e homens atuam tanto a partir dessa performatividade heteronormativa exigida de um bailarino quanto a partir de suas próprias representações identitárias “desviantes” e não hegemônicas, em momentos menos formais.

Authors: Franco Diogo De Lima , Silva Fernanda Pereira , Maciel Joice Cleide Toga , Vital Tales Wanderley
Published: March 2023

No Brasil, o manejo extensivo de fauna só se tornou possível nos anos 2000, com a publicação do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC). Foi iniciado em 2003 um projeto de estruturação de manejo comunitário de jacarés no estado do Amazonas, oficialmente implementado com fins comerciais em 2020. O objetivo desse trabalho é caracterizar o modelo de análise do manejo comunitário de jacarés no Amazonas, propondo-o como modelo para análise de sistemas de manejo comunitário de outras espécies silvestres. Foi realizada uma análise documental da legislação referente ao manejo comunitário de jacarés, de onde então foram identificados os requisitos técnicos para desenvolvimento do manejo. Para cada requisito foram descritas as atividades referentes ao seu atendimento. Essas etapas foram ordenadas de acordo com sua inserção num modelo de Sistemas Agroalimentares (SAG). Os requisitos do manejo são atendidos a partir da realização de oito atividades ou serviços técnico-científicos básicos, cada uma diretamente relacionada a um ou mais segmentos da cadeia produtiva. O manejo de jacarés apresenta um conjunto significativo de requisitos atendidos por meio de pesquisa científica, além de compartilhamento de funções de gestão e potencial produtivo predeterminado pela cota de captura permitida. A infraestrutura precária para processamento, armazenamento e transporte configura o principal limitante da produção em unidades de conservação. Os requisitos para o manejo de jacarés são baseados nos princípios básicos de sustentabilidade, e deverão estar presentes de modo similar em normas para uso de outras espécies. Assim, a análise em SAG pode ser aplicável para manejo comunitário de outras espécies, pois inclui elementos normativos, atores participantes e meio ambiente, com igual importância à eficiência produtiva e econômica.

Does reading aloud to a dog improve children’s reading outcomes? An academic critique
Authors: Gu Jenny , Wright Sarah
Published: March 2023

Educators are increasingly seeking innovative interventions to improve children’s reading skills through enhancing their reading enjoyment, motivation, and frequency. One such approach is through canine-assisted reading interventions in schools, which involve children reading aloud to therapy dogs and their handlers. The popularity of this approach is growing, with the development and delivery of numerous programmes and organisations worldwide. Given increasing interest in canine-assisted reading programmes in schools, there is a need to subject these interventions to scientific scrutiny, to evaluate the extent to which they are grounded in psychological theory, determine their efficacy for improving reading outcomes, and inform their implementation. In this critique, an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of reading aloud to dogs is first presented. Intervention effects are explained in terms of attachment theory, attentional control theory, and self-determination theory. The current critique also includes the first systematic review examining the effects of school-based canine-assisted interventions, compared to control conditions, on children’s reading outcomes. Findings from nine controlled studies are discussed. Currently, there is mixed and limited evidence for the efficacy of school-based canine-assisted reading interventions, compared to control conditions, on children’s reading skills, attainment, and attitude. Implications for practice and intervention implementation are considered.
Numerical study of hydrogen jet in methane / air premixed atmosphere
Authors: Zou Yin
Published: March 2023

The work presented a numerical study on the transient characteristics of under-expanded hydrogen jets from a cylindrical nozzle. The finite-volume solution was adopted in the two-dimensional simulation of high-pressure chocked hydrogen jets, by solving the Navier-Stokes equations for gas phase flow. Numerical analyses were respectively performed over the micro level to characterize the fine structures, and over macro levels to explore the key global parameters of the gaseous jets. Parameterization work was conducted in terms of the microscopic characteristics of jets, such as, the length of jet core, the diameter of jet vortex, and the key global parameters, i.e. the penetration and the steady fuel injection rate. The effects of the injection parameters on the micro-structure and macro characteristics were hence quantified.
Analysis of spatiotemporal distribution of methane column concentration and emission source in permafrost area of Northeast China based on AIRS data
Authors: Xu Zhichao , Chen Yunshan , Shan Wei , Wu Yuexing
Published: March 2023

Northeast China has the largest high-latitude permafrost distribution zone in China. With the intensification of global warming, the carbon stored in the permafrost will gradually thaw and release in the form of methane gas to air, thus increasing the methane column concentration in the near-surface troposphere. However, at present, the spatiotemporal distribution and emission source of methane column concentration in the near-surface troposphere are not clear. In this paper, using the AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) remote sensing data from Aqua satellite, we analyzed the distribution and change trend of the methane column concentration in the near-surface troposphere in Northeast China from 2003 to 2021, and combined with the national meteorological and field monitoring data, we studied the emission mechanism and emission source of surface methane in the permafrost area of Northeast China. Study results show that: the permafrost zone in Northeast China has a high methane emission capacity in four seasons, and the methane column concentration shows a significant double-peak seasonal variation. The first peak appears in summer (June to August) and the maximum appears in August, the second peak appears in winter (December to February) and the maximum appears in December. However, the maximum average growth rate of near-surface methane column concentration in Northeast China appeared in spring (5.378ppbv/a), the reason is that the carbon stored under the permafrost is gradually exposed and released in the form of methane. The emission sources include microbial action, methane transported by wetland groundwater, geological methane (metastable methane hydrate, steady-state methane hydrate and thermogenic methane produced in the deep underground or coal seams) stored in frozen layer. The study provide data and technical support for the estimation of carbon emissions in permafrost areas in Northeast China.

Published: March 2023

The development process of erosion wear theory research in the past 60 years is reviewed, the content and limitations of various mainstream erosion wear theories are analyzed, and the research and discovery of the influencing factors of erosion wear in various stages are summarized. The conclusion is that erosion wear is affected by many factors, which is difficult to be explained by a universal theory. It is believed that the research direction of erosion wear theory should focus on the test of highly reduced erosion conditions, supplemented by numerical simulation analysis, and combined with the comprehensive research of macro and micro.
Solar cell defect detection based on improved G-SSD Network
Authors: Xu Mingyang
Published: March 2023

Aiming at the problems of finger interruptions, microcracks and shadow defects of solar cells that are not easy to detect and will reduce the efficiency of the cells, a solar cell defect localization detection algorithm based on improved G-SSD network is proposed. For object detection algorithms, the detection of small targets is challenging. Firstly, the input scale and network model are improved for the detection of small-scale targets. Secondly, in order to reduce the weight of the network model, a more lightweight network GhostNet is selected instead of VGG-16 in the experiment to reduce the computational cost of the network model. Finally, the EL image is input into the network for classification and positioning, and the prediction results are integrated and the final detection results are output. Experimental results show that compared with the original model, the mean (mAP) of the improved G-SSD is increased by 0.68%, effectively reduces some computing costs.

Authors: CHUGHTAI T , KHAN AR , RAZA A
Published: March 2023

A prospective study was conducted in Nishtar Medical Hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 to assess the incidence of osteoporosis before liver transplant in patients with chronic liver disease. A total of 70 patients were included in the study. A liver biopsy was used to confirm the hepatological diagnosis. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry through a densitometer was used for measuring bone mineral density. Results showed that the prevalence of osteoporosis at the femoral neck and lumbar spine was 37%, and in only 14.3% of cases, bone density at these sites was normal. More patients had osteopenia and osteoporosis at the femoral neck (41.7%) compared to the lumbar spine (24.2%) (P=0.009). Osteoporosis was not associated with the severity of the disease; its prevalence was 39%, 32%, and 36% in those with Child-Pugh A, B, and C, respectively (P=0.78). Lower weight (P=0.0007) and increasing age (P=0.038) were independent risk factors for osteoporosis during chronic liver disease. Results show that osteoporosis is highly prevalent in subjects with chronic liver disease before a liver transplant score.

Authors: Sellars John
Published: March 2023

When we think about ancient philosophy we tend to think first and foremost of Plato and Aristotle, the two great Athenian philosophers, whose works have come down to us and that we can read today. In both cases the survival of their texts has been intertwined with commentary traditions, which could only come about because the texts were available but which also contributed to their survival for subsequent generations. The Neoplatonic practice of writing commentaries on the works of both Plato and Aristotle in late antiquity was central, laying the foundations for the subsequent philosophical traditions in Greek, Arabic, and Latin during the Middle Ages.

The Stoics had no equivalent commentary tradition. The late Neoplatonist Simplicius wrote a commentary on the Handbook of Epictetus, but this co-opted Epictetus into the Neoplatonic curriculum rather than treating him on his own terms as a Stoic. Earlier, in the first century BC, the Stoic Athenodorus wrote a commentary on Aristotle’s Categories, but this was a case of a Stoic contributing to the burgeoning Aristotelian commentary tradition, not starting a Stoic one. Earlier still, Cleanthes in the third century BC wrote a commentary on Heraclitus, but again this was something quite different. No one set about to write commentaries on, say, the works of Chrysippus in the way that they did on Plato or Aristotle. We cannot know the reasons why; all we do know is that as a result of this textual neglect more or less all of Chrysippus’ works are now lost, save for a few papyrus scraps recovered from Herculaneum. None of this bodes well for the idea of a Stoic tradition.
Contradictions Around the Stoic Sage. Chapter Twenty of Plutarch’s On Stoic Self-Contradictions
Authors: Aklan Anna
Published: March 2023

In Chapter nineteen of his De Stoicorum repugnantiis, Plutarch criticizes Chrysippus in that the idea of the sage he presents is contradictory in parts of the Stoic philosopher’s writings. Plutarch exposes the contradictions which center mainly around the mutually exclusive precepts of the private versus public life of the sage and secondly, around his money-earning occupations that both entail further contradictory corollaries. The first part of the article examines the Plutarchan passages, and in the second part an attempt is made at reconciling the contradictions using a wider range of Stoic literature. I suggest that the concepts of acting together with the cosmic law on the sage’s part and his selection in accordance with nature to help whatever belongs to him can be the key elements to make a consistent interpretation of the selected Chrysippan passages. While it may be possible to make a consistent picture of the Stoic ideas regarding their concept of the wise person, we must be remember that Stoicism did and does offer paradoxes both to ancient and modern inquirers.
Stoic Influences on Plotinus’ Theodicy?
Authors: Ilievski Viktor
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is twofold: a) to identify the Stoic-attempted solutions to the problem of evil, allegedly appropriated by Plotinus and made use of in his main work on theodicy, which was divided by Porphyry into two treatises and published under the titles On Providence I. and II. (Ennead III. 2 and 3); and b) to demonstrate that the most significant theodicean strategies applied by the Stoics and later utilized by Plotinus are either of direct Platonic origin, or else might have been inspired by certain passages from Plato’s dialogues. As a side issue, it will be shown that the Stoic answers to the problem of evil that do not concur with the Platonic approach – with a single exception – are not taken into consideration by Plotinus. This is not to say that the Stoics’ contributions to the field of theodicy exerted no influence on Plotinus, but that in the counterfactual scenario where they never wrote on providence and theodicy, Plotinus would have nevertheless been able to compose a theodicy that is very similar to the present one, relying chiefly, if not exclusively, on Platonic sources and his own ideas.
When the Stoic Chameleon Came Across the Cylinder. Stoicism and the Matter of Confessions
Authors: Smrcz Ádám
Published: March 2023

This paper analyses the relationship between Justus Lipsius’ earlier and later thought on causation, and it claims that a major shift did take place between the author’s earlier stance (outlined in his De Constantia and Politica sive Civilis Doctrina) and his theories elaborated in  later works (mainly in his Physiologia Stoicorum). While in his early works Lipsius endorsed a semi-compatibilist view (claiming that humans were not endowed with free will, but still, they could be held responsible for their actions), later in his life, he adopted a more libertarian stance. The paper does not only aim to challenge such theses of contemporary scholarship which claim that Lipsius held a mostly homogenous stance throughout his life, but it also intends to highlight the confessional importance of the shift between his earlier and later views: while his earlier works were written in a Calvinist milieu, his latter writings were authored after his recatholisation, and the two facts – according to this paper – are interrelated. Lipsian Neostoicism, hence, was not only intended to harmonize Stoicism with Christianity in general – as mainstream scholarship holds –, but with particular confessions as well.
Stoicism and Frankfurtian Compatibilism
Authors: Bernáth László
Published: March 2023

Although the free will debate of contemporary analytic philosophy lacks almost any kind of historical perspective, some scholars (for instance Zimmerman 2000; Salles 2001, 2005) have pointed out a striking similarity between Stoic approaches to free will and Frankfurt’s well-known hierarchical theory (Frankfurt 1969, 1971, 1988). However, the scholarly agreement is only apparent because they disagree about the way of similarity between the Stoic and the Frankfurtian theories. The main thesis of my paper is that commentators have so far missed the crucial difference between the Stoics’ approach to free will and Frankfurt’s, a difference that renders the former as the superior theory. I make three main claims. In the first section, I argue that it is misleading and ultimately false to say that Frankfurt’s and the Stoics’ conception of free will are the same or notably similar to each other (pace Zimmerman 2000). Nevertheless, in the second section I show that there is indeed a relevant similarity between the two approaches. Both of them provide a semi-compatibilist reason- and reflectivity-based theory of moral responsibility. Finally, in the third section, I describe the difference that I take to be the most relevant between these theories regarding the problem of moral responsibility. I consider this difference as a crucial one because a serious disadvantage of the Frankfurtian view follows therefrom.
Towards a meaningful self-management intervention to improve long-term prognosis for adolescents with Patellofemoral Pain
Authors:   ,   Aalborg University, Skovdal Rathleff Michael
Published: March 2023

This doctoral thesis consists of 9 papers that were conducted during a period 10 years during my employments at Aarhus University, Aalborg University, Aalborg University Hospital, and the Center for General Practice at Aalborg University. The background of the series of studies was a general lack of knowledge surrounding adolescent Patellofemoral Pain, which hampered evidencebased treatment of this common condition that affects approximately 6-7% of the school-attending adolescents. The aim of this thesis was to provide an overview of adolescent Patellofemoral using a bio-psycho-social perspective, identifying specific management needs for this age group and the prognosis of adolescent PFP. This doctoral thesis includes one narrative review, one systematic review, one individual participant meta-analysis and six original studies in adolescents with Patellofemoral Pain. The adolescents in these studies were recruited from both school-based populations, physiotherapy clinics and open populations. We used self-reported measures of pain, symptoms, function, and physical activity levels, as well as objective measures of hip and knee function. We also combined this with psychophysical pain assessments.
Second Track case study: OECD Working Party on SMEs and Entrepreneurship
Authors: Bodrova Olga
Published: March 2023

The importance of SMEs to national economies and international trade was not reflected in the policy deliberations of major international economic institutions such as the OECD and World Bank until the early 1990s, when an early example of the Second Track process changed the status quo. Olga Bodrova recounts the origins of OECD’s leading body on SME policies with insight from those who were there.
Práticas espaciais no contexto globalização: elementos teóricos para o ensino de Geografia na Educação Básica
Authors: Luz Neto Daniel Rodrigues Silva
Published: March 2023

A finalidade deste trabalho é discutir elementos teóricos sobre práticas espaciais no contexto de influências da globalização contemporânea como contribuição para o ensino de Geografia na Educação Básica. Para tanto, utiliza-se metodologicamente a perspectiva da pesquisa qualitativa. Sendo assim, efetuou-se o procedimento bibliográfico por meio de unidades temáticas: práticas espaciais, globalização contemporânea e o ensino de Geografia.  Para sistematizar a análise da coleta de dados, opera-se com a metodologia da análise de conteúdo na verificação de indicadores em palavras ou frases nos posicionamentos dos autores das fontes bibliográficas. Este trabalho centra-se em três pilares: as práticas espaciais, os impactos da globalização contemporânea e a função social do ensino de Geografia. Os resultados apontam que para a definição conceitual de práticas espaciais como sendo um conjunto sistêmico de ações sociais espacialmente localizadas, as quais são mediadas por sistemas de instrumentos materiais-simbólicos. Tais práticas são efetuadas por diferentes atores sociais para satisfazer suas necessidades ou da sociedade. Elas desdobram-se na produção e organização do espaço geográfico. Tais ações espaciais configuram-se cada vez mais enigmáticas perante o contexto de expansão do processo de globalização na contemporaneidade. Nesse sentido, a Geografia na escola básica, contribui para a análise geográfica dos fenômenos espaciais de forma crítica por meio da operação com o  modo de  pensar geograficamente.
Territórios da mídia no Brasil
Authors: Vernek Fernandes Iago , Pasti André
Published: March 2023

Este artigo discute como se realiza territorialmente o jornalismo internacional, nacional e regional no Brasil. Por meio de diálogo com ampla bibliografia da Geografia e da Economia Política da Comunicação e levantamento de dados sobre a concentração da mídia e os fluxos de notícias, busca-se compreender de que maneira o controle da produção e distribuição de notícias por poucos agentes e a instalação seletiva de tecnologias da informação são capazes de conferir aos territórios possibilidades desiguais de manipular conteúdos informacionais e, assim, estabelecer relações de comando na rede urbana, contribuindo para o aumento das desigualdades territoriais e a diminuição da democracia e cidadania.

We come across hospitals and non-profit organizations that care for people with paralysis who have had all or partof their body incapacitated by the paralysis attack. Due to a lack of motor control by their brain, these individualsare typically unable to communicate their requirements because they are neither able to speak clearly nor use signlanguage. In such a circumstance, we suggest a system that enables a disabled person to display a message overthe liquid crystal display (LCD) screen by merely moving any part of his or her body that is capable of motion. Thissolution also addresses the circumstance where the patient is alone and no one is available to care for him or her,sending an Internet of things (IoT) message instead of a short messaging service (SMS).The system operates by interpreting the user part’s tilt direction. By grasping the device in the fingers of the movinghand, the device’s operation is demonstrated. To communicate a message, the user only needs to tilt the gadgetat a specific angle. The message is conveyed differently depending on the way the gadget is tilted. Here, thestatistics of motion are measured using an accelerometer. This information is then transmitted to a microcontroller.The microcontroller analyzes the data and displays the specific message in accordance with the input received. Theassociated message is now shown on the LCD screen by the microcontroller. As soon as it receives a motion signalfrom the accelerometer, it also emits a siren and a message. If no one was available to respond to the message onthe LCD, then the patient might opt to tilt the device for an additional period of time, which would cause an SMSto be sent via IoT to the patient’s registered caretaker with the message the patient wishes to communicate.
Comparing the Quality Assurance System of Postgraduate Education in China and the United Kingdom
Authors: Huangfu Hanxiang
Published: March 2023

Postgraduate education in China has been developed for more than 70 years since 1949. With these years’ development, the number of postgraduates overhead many developing countries. Especially during these three years, many Chinese universities expand the volume of postgraduate. After that, the problems for postgraduate education increase. China's government and related higher education institutes are struggling to improve the postgraduate education system. The system of many developing countries' postgraduate education is relatively more thorough and systematic than China’s, especially the postgraduate education in the U.K. Therefore, by comparing the postgraduate education between China and the UK about the internal and external content of the system, it is beneficial for China to find the more current problem and helps it improve. This paper reviews some former literature that studies the difference between China and the UK related to the system of quality assurance in postgraduate education. It compares the difference between internal and external quality assurance in China and UK. Therefore, it will fill in the research gaps of the scant quality assurance system of Chinese postgraduate education in these studies.
