The Journey to an Advanced Degree Completion
Authors:   , Rodriguez Andrea Daniele , Phillips Joy C.
Published: December 2024

This qualitative phenomenological research study dives into the varying experiences of Latinas who have earned an advanced degree in the United States, searching to understand the different elements that influence their degree attainment and challenges they faced during their academic journey. The researcher engaged in interviews with five Latinas who earned advanced degrees, including Master of Science, Master of Arts, Master of Education, and Juris Doctor. Utilizing the Latino Critical Race Theory (LatCrit) as a framework, the analysis that surfaced, illuminated the complexities of participants’ social identities, the imperative role of familial and social support networks, the institutional barriers they encountered, and the influence of their cultural heritage on their academic trajectories. Despite confronting obstacles such as financial constraints, imposter syndrome, and a lack of campus diversity, there were three thematic findings that emerged that helped guide the participants through the advanced three seeking journey: 1) building relationships of support, 2) manifestation of imposter syndrome, and 3) overcoming challenges. The emergent themes underscore the complex interplay between structural inequities, individual agency, and sociocultural influences in shaping Latinas’ pathways to advanced degrees. The critical insights informed by this research study advocate for a multilayered approach to fostering inclusive environments within higher education institutions, catering to the unique needs and aspirations of Latina students in advanced degree seeking programs. These critical insights informed imperative recommendations that include: 1) implementation of targeted interventions, including culturally responsive training for faculty and staff, 2) the establishment of mentorship programs tailored to Latina students, and 3) the creation of sustainable funding mechanisms to alleviate financial burdens. By addressing these recommendations, institutions of higher education can foster an ecosystem that enable and empower Latina students to thrive academically and realize their full potential. Further, this research study serves as an example of inspiration and guidance for Latinas currently enrolled or considering enrollment in advanced degree programs, offering a roadmap for navigating the complexities of higher education and charting a course towards academic success and socio-economic mobility. Through its nuanced review of lived experiences and its recommendations for institutional change and transformation, this research study contributes to the ongoing discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion in academia, paving the way for a more equitable and accessible graduate higher education landscape for all.
Epiploic appendagitis, an overlooked emergency in the daily practice
Authors: Sönmez Topcu Feyza , Anılır Ender
Published: December 2024

Introduction
Acute epiploic appendagitis is an uncommon and easily misdiagnosed cause of acute abdominal pain. The diagnosis of epiploic appendagitis has clear clinical importance in patient management. In the case of acute abdominal pain, Radiology plays a critical role in the diagnosis of this condition, which often mimics other conditions that require surgical intervention. The aim of this article is to evaluate the frequency and presentation of acute epiploic appendicitis in our patient population and to remind them of this pathology.
Materials and Methods
Adult patients applied to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain and were evaluated with abdominal computed tomography (CT) between January 2022 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were grouped according to the common causes of acute abdomen. The frequency and common presentation of epiploic appendagitis were researched.
Results
In the 1-year retrospective radiology database search, CT findings were consistent with epiploic appendicitis in 8 of 256 patients. The anamnesis, physical examination, and laboratory findings of these 8 patients were examined retrospectively.
Conclusion
Epiploic appendagitis is a rare but self-limiting cause of acute abdomen. In the management of acute abdominal pain, emergency physicians and radiologists should also remember this clinical situation in order to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.
A period and burial rites of the upper-level remains Ruins in Yangtun Dahaimeng, Jilinsheng
Authors:   Korean Ancient Historical Society, Choi Jung-Bum
Published: December 2024

The upper layer site of Dahaimeng, located in Yangtun Village, Wulajie Town, Longtan District, Jilin City, Jilin Province, China, was initially excavated in 1971. Through subsequent excavations in 1979 and 1980, it was confirmed to be a middle layer site, which covers the Bronze Age, Buyeo, and Balhae,. Most importantly, Balhae remains in the upper layer are mostly earthen tombs, where various artifacts have been excavated. Human bones have been identified in many features, which greatly help us understand the burial practices of that time.
Based on the cross-dating and artifacts from the upper layer site of Dahaimeng, and the overlapping relationship between the layers of the site and the features, it was determined that tumuli were built over a long period of time from before the mid-7th century to after the late 8th century.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that multiple buried people were identified within the features. Considering the characteristics of the features as earthen tombs, it suggests that the primary burial method, which maintained the anatomical continuity of the buried people, and the secondary burial, which was rearranged with bone collection or anatomical continuity in mind after only bones remained, may have been carried out simultaneously.
Therefore, this site holds significance as it serves as a reference to infer the cultural nature of the Sogmal Malgal tribe, who occupied the site during the late Goguryeo period to the Balhae period, based on the chronology and burial practices of the upper layer site of Dahaimeng.

Published: December 2024

The main objective of this research is to analyze the effect caused by a hydraulic dredging intervention in the Teusacá River (Cundinamarca, Colombia), by means of bioindication of aquatic macroinvertebrates. Dissolved oxygen, turbidity, temperature and pH measurements were taken at each sampling point, and various water quality indices (BMWP/Col, ASTP, IBF, EPT), as well as biodiversity indices (Shannon Weaver, Simpson, Margalef and Menhinick) were calculated. Four sampling points were taken in the months of June, October, and December, collecting a total of 1160 organisms grouped into 6 classes, 13 orders and 19 taxonomic families, these organisms were used for the comparative assessment of water quality before and after the Hydraulic work. For the analysis of the effect of the hydraulic work on water quality, one sampling point was considered as a post-intervention reference, and previous research in the same area was considered as references prior to the work. The dredging had a slightly positive effect on the river's water quality, evidencing improvements in the physicochemical parameters and quality indexes, which reflect an increase in its quality.

Increasing behavioral richness and managing structural uncertainty in social-ecological system agent-based models
Authors: Magliocca Nicholas , Pathak Ruchie , Price Ashleigh , Tanveer Hashir , Kumar Mukesh , Moradkhani Hamid
Published: December 2024

Responding to the challenges of societal transformation in the face of climate change, efforts to integrate behaviorally rich models of adaptation decision-making into large-scale macroeconomic and Earth system models are growing and agent-based models (ABMs) are an effective tool for doing so. However, behavioral richness in ABMs has been limited to implementations of single decision models for all agents in a simulated population. The main goals of this study were to: 1) implement the ‘building-block processes’ (BBPs) approach for decision model heterogeneity; 2) demonstrate the application of sensitivity and uncertainty analyses to quantify the scope of structural uncertainty produced by alternative decision models under variable price and climate conditions; and 3) apply the Observing System Simulation Experiment (OSSE) approach to validate such a behaviorally rich BBPs model at the level of individual agent decisions. Using an ABM of agricultural producers’ decision-making, we demonstrated that uncertainty in crop and farm management decisions introduced by heterogeneous decision models was equal to and in some instances greater than that due to variable price or precipitation conditions. Unrealistically rapid or stagnant behavioral dynamics were evident in model versions implementing single decision models for all agents. Moreover, interactions among agents with diverse decision models in the same population produced consistently more accurate outcomes and realistic behavioral dynamics. The BBPs framework and accompanying sensitivity and uncertainty analyses demonstrated here offer a path forward for increasing behavioral richness in ABMs, which is key to understanding processes of adaptation central to societal responses to climate change.
3D printing – A paradigm shift in orthodontic appliances and patient care
Authors: Kumar G Sreejith , Dharshini C Priya , Soman Prasanth Soni , Abraham Aby
Published: December 2024

Some of the rapidly developing technologies in orthodontics are digital imaging, 3-dimensional modeling, and printing. 3-D printing uses a layer-by-layer manufacturing technique to create scaffolds that can be used for many applications. With the advent of digital surface imaging and 3-dimensional prototyping, new avenues for producing physical models have opened. The traditional clinical decision-making process has been revolutionized by the incorporation of 3-D printing which makes it convenient for clinicians to avoid physical model storage areas and better visualization of anatomical structures and treatment planning. This paper presents the advancements in additive manufacturing techniques for customized patient care in Orthodontics including recent advances in printing technology and materials. The potential application of 4D printing as an advanced manufacturing technology and the challenges and future perspectives for additive manufacturing are also highlighted.

Published: December 2024

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), also known as Von Recklinghausen’s disease, is an autosomal dominant disorder first described by Von Recklinghausen. With a prevalence of 1 in 2,200 to 3,000 births, NF1 frequently includes both cutaneous and oral manifestations. Oral symptoms appear in 72-92% of cases, predominantly affecting the tongue and buccal mucosa. This case report discusses a 30-year-old male presenting with NF1, characterized by multiple faint skin lesions, periodic chest pain, and a rare instance of generalized aggressive periodontitis. The diagnostic approach incorporated clinical and radiographic assessments, which revealed distinct periodontal involvement uncommon in NF1 cases. This report aims to raise awareness of the periodontal features associated with NF1, underscoring the importance for dental professionals in managing such cases.
The spaces of Norwid’s Assunta. Some interpretative remarks
Authors: Abriszewska Paulina
Published: December 2024

This article offers an aspectual analysis of the narrative poem Assunta by Cyprian Norwid. Its first goal is to examine ways of creating space and contrasts (garden / salon; mine / monastery) as well as to link the changes and varieties of space with the protagonist’s course of thoughts. The second aim is to study these spaces in metaphorical sense, i.e. as an intertextual context, primarily in order to compare Norwid’s work with W Szwajcarii [In Switzerland] by Juliusz Słowacki. In a broader perspective it becomes vital, however, to demonstrate how Norwid ingenuously interprets the poem by Słowacki. Incidentally, the article also revisits one question that recurs in many studies, namely that of similarities between Assunta and the Platonic tradition. In this area, the article revises certain claims, demonstrating that the role of Socrates is played not only by the protagonist (in relation to readers) but also by Assunta (in relation to the protagonist).
Michał Kleczkowski – the parallel life of Norwid’s cousin
Authors: Zemanek Bogdan
Published: December 2024

Cyprian Norwid’s cousin Michał Kleczkowski chose an untypical career of a sinologist. As a professional translator and diplomat in the French service, he was finally awarded the position of chargé d’affaires, and after a long time spent in China (1847-63) he was made consulgeneral for Chinese affairs, eventuallybecoming professor of Chinese at the École nationale des langues orientales vivantes for a period of twelve years. He represented a new type of professional diplomat, and although he would receive support from influential figures, he owed his career mainly to his diligence and engagement. His professionalism and probably rather conventional morality created tension in his relations with Norwid, who professed a much different ideal of a free artist and wouldnot accept technical work on conditions dictated by others. The article attempts to balance the previously negative assessment of Kleczkowski’s attitude to Norwid by indicating that the poet’s cousin supported Norwid financially for twelve years, passing to him a significant portion of his own income. Further, the article challenges the negative view of St. Casimir’s House, showing that it was a respectable institution that granted its inhabitants relative dignity, especially in comparison with the conditions suffered by the Parisian poor who had no support. Theses formulated in the article are illustrated with passages from Kleczkowski’s correspondence, which is preserved in the Princes Czartoryski Museum in Kraków.
Vade-mecum in the perspective of time. Topic outline
Authors: Fert Józef Franciszek
Published: December 2024

This article addresses a conceptual and artistic issue that is vital for Norwid’s entire work, namely the relationship between time and movement. This question has preoccupied philosophers and poets since antiquity, giving birth, for instance, to the ingenious concept of time-space developed by Alfred Einstein, and leading further to string theory, multidimensional physics, or noncommutative geometry. In the field of poetry, this theme has been elaborated in the myth of “eternal recurrence,” brilliant ancient Greek tragedies, Shakespeare’s dramatization of human fate as the temporal course of the inevitable consequences of compacts with evil (as in Macbeth), the piercing reinterpretation of the Passion in Mickiewicz’s psychomachia (in the third part of Dziady [Forefathers’ Eve]), the apocalyptic visions in Krasiński’s Nie-Boska komedia [The Un-Divine Comedy], and explorations of the (often allegorised) question of historical turning points in Norwid’s Quidam, which is set “between dawn and the fading of the night…”. Finally, in philosophy, Hegel postulated the logical conclusion of history in his profound theory about the culmination of historical processes.
In Norwid’s poetry, images of movement in time are usually anchored in the sequence of events or in the consequences of concluding on the basis of articulated premises (as “movement of thought”). What is notable here is not the perspective of some indefinable transformation considered as the effect of anonymous processes, but rather the establishing of certain consequences of “unfolding,” which is often expressed in poetic terms as a surprising point that communicates an explicit or implicit “moral lesson,” sometimes as a result of supernatural intervention, as in the poem XIV. Litość [Mercy], where a sequence of ostensible or conventional signs of compassion are interrupted by a “bolt out of the blue,” demanding authentic help for our neighbour.
It is worth remembering that Vade-mecum is, to a large extent (if not essentially), a programmatic work on the one hand, while on the other – an authentic selection of poems written in the years 1848-1866 subjected to a specific programmatic function that foregrounds moral obligations as a poetic response to the vital needs of the times – an artistic gesture meant to offer an answer to the problems of this period. Hence the immense sense of a lack of fulfilment experienced by Norwid as an “extra actor” in the theatre of an age that Zofia Stefanowska called “the age of trade and industry”.
Prophet Muhammad, the Greatest Forgiveness in the History, the Eagle Flag, and the Marvelous Strategy for Peaceful Opening of Mecca
Authors: Hopkinson Eckhart Christopher
Published: December 2024

This historical research discusses the conquest of Mecca. It proves that the Hudaibiyah peace treaty was first violated by Quraysh. This paper also studies the color, the name, and the message of the flag of the Prophet Muhammad in the Mecca conquest. It has been shown that the idea of the flag with the word punishment written on it, is wrong or is a carefully designed lie. It has been proved that the Muslims’ flag had been a black flag called the Eagle flag and this type of flag with this color and this name had been previously used by Meccans (Quraysh) in battles. The name of the Eagle flag dates back to the use of the eagle as the symbol of power on the flags of the ancient empires. The message of the flag of the Prophet Muhammad could have never been the punishment because he never punished the Quraysh and did not ever decide to do that. It has also been explained that Prophet Muhammad organized a marvelous plan to peacefully come back to his homeland Mecca. Prophet Muhammad suffered from Quraysh for more than 21 years but after the Mecca conquest, while he had the opportunity to revenge and no one would blame him for that, by his inspiring act of forgiveness, he made a great moment in history. This article shows that Prophet Muhammad recorded the greatest forgiveness in history.  Some other carefully designed lies about the conquest of Mecca are shown to be deliberate distortions of the history by some authors to defame Prophet Muhammad.
The Structural Role of the Subject in Categorical Propositions and Its Existential Import
Authors: Oruk Akman Zehra
Published: December 2024

Logic, as a system designed to distinguish between right and wrong, necessitates that all judgments pertain to a “thing.” In categorical propositions, this judgment is anchored in the “thing,” which is represented by the term “subject.” The subject serves as the foundational element upon which the entire logical system is built. Within the classical tradition of logic, it is widely accepted that only affirmative propositions presuppose the existence of their subjects. However, for a judgment to be formed within a proposition, the subject must refer to an existent. This study examines the debates within the classical tradition regarding the existence of the subject in propositions and questions its existential significance based on these discussions. The existence of the subject holds pivotal importance in classical logic for several reasons. For example, to establish a contradiction between two propositions, the “unity of subject”—one of the eight conditions for contradiction—requires that the same subject be used in both propositions. Furthermore, the study explores the discussions between Farabi and Ibn Sina regarding the actuality and possibility of the individuals to which the subject refers, evaluating their approaches to the possible individuals denoted by the subject. At its core, analyzing the ontological implications of the subject is essential for assessing the coherence and consistency of the logical system.

Authors: Aladji Moustapha , Jean Muriel , Mahamat Hisseine , Assoil Ayad
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study explores the impact of the social and solidarity economy (SSE) on ethical consumption behaviors in the French overseas territories, with a particular focus on the role of the citizen–consumer.
Design/methodology/approach: A multinomial logistic regression model is applied to data collected from 924 participants in French overseas territories, specifically Guyana, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. This approach examines the relationships between awareness of environmental and social issues, the availability of SSE products, and citizen engagement with ethical consumption.
Findings: The results reveal that awareness of environmental and social issues is the most significant factor influencing ethical consumption, followed by product availability. In contrast, price has a statistically weak impact. The study highlights that younger generations, especially in Guyana, are more inclined toward ethical consumption, driven by local social dynamics.
Originality/value: This study provides new insights into the interaction between SSE and ethical consumption in overseas territories, emphasising the role of local social influence and the importance of communication strategies to promote SSE values. It also suggests theneed for tailored public policies to encourage responsible consumption in these regions.
German Renewable Energy Transition Project: Legal Preconditions for Implementation in Russia
Authors:   Master of the Russian School of Private Law of St. Petersburg State University, Zhestovskaia Dariia А. ,   Lead Researcher in the Department of Contract Law
Published: December 2024

This article examines the German energy transition project in the experimental region of Ahrweiler, which aims to
establish an energy system based on renewable energy sources. The project is founded on the idea of a “bottom-up”
energy transition, driven by local self-government bodies with the involvement of private investments. The author
analyzes whether Russian legal regulations allow for the development of renewable energy in Russia following the
German project’s scenario. The article discusses the following issues: the existence of legal prerequisites for the
decentralization of the energy system in Russia, the legal regulation of the powers of local self-government bodies and
the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the energy sector, as well as existing legal models for attracting
private investments in renewable energy sources. The author concludes that the implementation of the project under
Russian legal conditions appears to be feasible.

Ekspresja seksualna małego dziecka
Authors: Ratkowska-Pasikowska Justyna
Published: December 2024

Przedmiotem prezentowanej książki jest ekspresja seksualna małego dziecka. Zachowania seksualne dziecka szczególnie interesują mnie ze względu na ich, z jednej strony, wymiar rozwojowy (biologiczny), z drugiej – restrykcyjność, której podlegają. Mitologizowanie i tabuizowanie tego obszaru rozwojowego (wiek przedszkolny) skutkuje w przyszłości właśnie takim rozumieniem kreowanego przez siebie świata społecznego (interpretacją świata). Jest on z góry skazany na demonizowanie i wyłączanie go z obiegu codziennego procesu wychowania. Postawiony w ten sposób problem jest interesujący dla pedagogiki, szczególnie kiedy wiąże się z kwestiami wychowania i socjalizacji (zwłaszcza tej pierwotnej). Skłoniło mnie to do postawienia następujących pytań: Czy postawy nauczycieli i rodziców różnią się ze względu na podejście do zachowań seksualnych dziecka? A może atmosfera wokół seksualności w rodzinie generacyjnej determinuje postawy wobec takich zachowań? Udzielenie odpowiedzi na te i wiele innych pytań stało się celem tej publikacji. Ze Wstępu

Published: December 2024

El estudio explora el efecto del capital psicológico en el autoliderazgo, así como la mediación del mindfulness en esta relación. Para cumplir con este objetivo, se emplea el análisis de ecuaciones estructurales para validar las hipótesis de investigación con una muestra de cien participantes de empresas en diversos sectores económicos. Los resultados permitieron confirmar que el capital psicológico tiene una relación positiva y significativa con el autoliderazgo y el mindfulness, respectivamente. Asimismo, el mindfulness tiene una asociación positiva y significativa con el autoliderazgo. Finalmente, el estudio encontró una mediación complementaria del mindfulness en la relación entre el capital psicológico y el autoliderazgo. Estos resultados contribuyen en ofrecer aspectos que ayudan a mejorar el desempeño de los trabajadores. Al validar de forma empírica la relación entre los tres constructos de forma integral, la implementación de programas de desarrollo de capital psicológico y mindfulness en las organizaciones representan una oportunidad para mejorar el autoliderazgo de los empleados. Al integrar prácticas de mindfulness en el entorno laboral, las empresas no solo fomentarían el bienestar emocional de los empleados, sino también potenciarían su habilidad para liderarse a sí mismos de manera efectiva, lo que contribuiría al aumento del desempeño y la satisfacción laboral. Además, el instrumento de investigación es de gran importancia para las organizaciones, ya que permite identificar áreas de mejora en el capital psicológico, mindfulness y autoliderazgo de trabajadores.
Effect of Cypermethrin Exposure during Gestation on the Learning and Memory Ability of Pups
Authors: Shuklan Priyanka , Chauhan Khushboo , Raj Anshu , Ahlawat Sujata , Rani Sudesh
Published: December 2024

Background: The objective of the present study was to assess the impact of oral doses of cypermethrin (CYP) given to pregnant female Wistar rats, on the growing pups’ cognitive ability and developmental processes. Methods: Pregnant female rats were divided into four groups: group I was the control group and the remaining three groups were experimental groups that received CYP orally at a dose of 25 mg/kg (group II), 50 mg/kg (group III)and 75 mg/kg (group IV) body weight of rats from gestation day 6 (GD 6) till parturition. Pregnant female rats were closely monitored throughout the experiment to look for behavioural abnormalities, toxicity indicators and mortality. Result: In 50 mg and 75 mg groups, pregnant females showed some signs of toxicity such as diarrhoea, respiratory distress, tilted neck and convulsion attacks. Less gain in body weight of exposed females was also noted. Additionally, the developmental study reported that the body weight and length of the treated females’ pups were significantly reduced. The pups of all experimental group females exhibited a significant increase in their fur arrival and eye-opening times. The results of the Morris water maze (MWM) demonstrated that learning and memory were significantly compromised in pups exposed to CYP during pregnancy. The cognitive ability of pups was negatively impacted due to maternal CYP exposure. Therefore, the current study concluded that CYP exposure during gestation has a detrimental effect on the neurodevelopment of the pups as well as on the behaviour of the mothers.
Perception of intergroup threat of Croatian receiving community in the context of integration of refugees
Authors: Kiralj Lacković Jana , Ajduković Dean
Published: December 2024

Integration of refugees and receiving community members (RCMs) has been an expanding topic in research on group dynamics in the past fifteen years. A higher level of integration is indicated by lower levels of the perception of intergroup threat felt between refugees and RCMs. The Integrated Threat theory defines two types of threat – realistic and symbolic. Realistic relates to resources and interests such as socio-economic and physical safety, while symbolic relates to cultural and social elements such as norms, values, and way of life. The goal of this study is to explore whether some socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics and socio-psychological indicators of integration predict the levels of realistic and symbolic threat perception in Croatian RCMs. A sample of 600 RCMs participated in the study, collected using the random walk technique. Data were analysed using SEM, and the two final models showed a good fit. More than a fifth of the variance of realistic threat and more than a third of the variance of symbolic threat was explained by the models. RCMs with lower levels of education, right-wing orientation, lower household income and less support for the rights of refugees showed higher levels of realistic threat. Higher levels of symbolic threat were shown by older RCMs, right-wing oriented, those who perceived refugees to be a part of the society in Croatia to a lesser degree, and showed less support for the rights of refugees. Political orientation and support for the rights of refugees are particularly highlighted as predictors of both types of threat.

Authors: Hernández-Tique Pamela del Carmen , Córdova-Hernández Juan Antonio , Castellanos-Suarez Viviana
Published: December 2024

Objective: To learn about the panorama of children, adolescents and young people of the Hispanic population regarding traditional gender mandates through scientific literature.
Materials and methods: A systematic review derived from a qualitative analysis of the scientific literature on gender mandates, stereotypes, roles and sociocultural representations in children and adolescents was carried out; the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement in its recent version 2020 was used for the writing. For the search of scientific evidence, known databases were used; only articles published in nationally and internationally indexed journals were considered. The DeSC Thesaurus was used to identify keywords.
Results: The quality of the report was evaluated with the PRISMA guideline and the methodological quality with the AMSTAR-2 check-list, resulting in a total of 13 articles. Subsequently, we proceeded to review the articles identified by means of the ICrESAI and IMeCI instruments to evaluate the usefulness of the studies, resulting in a total of 10 articles.
Conclusions: From the analysis, it was concluded that hegemonic gender roles and stereotypes are still present in the individual and/or collective behaviors and discourses of the population, including BGT and youth. However, there is a tendency for the Spanish-speaking child, adolescent and youth population to change towards alternative concepts and ways of being men and women.

Fifty healthy individuals (50 eyes) from 22 to 60 years old were examined. The height and width of trabeculae of Vogt’s palisade, their number throughout 1 mm, as well as the thickness of the limbal epithelial layer were determined in all patients, tear production was analyzed according to the results of Schirmer I test. With increasing age there was a significant decrease in the number of trabeculae in Vogt’s palisade: from 11,1 ± 0,99 to 6,7 ± 0,82 (p < 0,001). In patients older than 45 years, there was also a significant decrease in the thickness of trabeculae and an increase in the thickness of the limbal epithelial layer (p < 0.001). The coefficient reflecting the state of the limbal zone palisade architectonics depending on the patient’s age was determined, which will allow to estimate the influence of age on the limbal zone state in each specific case.

This paper presents the results of the search for probable causes of dislocations of the intraocular lens-capsular bag complex (CICB) after uncomplicated minimally invasive age-related cataract surgery in patients with initial absence of Zinn’s ligament weakness by analyzing the cases of CICB dislocations over a 7-year period from 2016 to 2022 in 580 patients (580 eyes). Out of 580 cases of CICB dislocation after PE of age-related cataract, initially optimal conditions occurred in 86 cases, II–IV degrees of ICM dislocation were diagnosed among 86 patients, in 39.5 % of cases, dislocation of the CICB was accompanied by 2nd and 3rd stages of varicose veins of the lower extremities
Między Balzakiem a Mannem. Realizm jako strategia apokryficzna w „Balzakianach” Jacka Dehnela oraz „Castorpie” Pawła Huellego
Authors: Sokołowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

W artykule przedstawiona została konwencja realistyczna jako jedna ze strategii apokryficznych współczesnej prozy w kontekście teorii powtórzenia Sørena Kierkegaarda oraz koncepcji lęku przed wpływem Harolda Blooma. Autorka zestawia powieść Castorp Pawła Huellego ze zbiorem Balzakiana Jacka Dehnela oraz omawia stanowiska przyjęte w obu utworach względem dzieł kanonicznych, do których się odnoszą: Czarodziejskiej góry Thomasa Manna oraz Komedii ludzkiej Honoré de Balzaca. Analiza ma na celu wskazanie wyznaczników klasycznego modelu prozy realistycznej (takich jak typowość i typizacja bohaterów, narracja i opis, studium społeczeństwa i obyczajowości, ironia) we współczesnych tekstach oraz sposobów ich przetwarzania w literaturze postmodernistycznej, między innymi w kontekście narracji postkolonialnych. Rozważania zostały umieszczone na szerszym tle historycznoliterackim, z uwzględnieniem zjawisk charakterystycznych dla polskiej prozy lat dziewięćdziesiątych i dwutysięcznych.

O artigo analisa a filosofia educacional do Padre Manuel da Nóbrega, em sua obra “Diálogo sobre a conversão do gentio”, escrita em 1556 e discute a concepção de educação da Companhia de Jesus. A obra em questão é a primeira sobre o tema da missionação escrita no Brasil no período da América Portuguesa. O trabalho pastoral de Manuel da Nóbrega impulsionou a criação das primeiras escolas no Brasil, com a finalidade de conversão dos indígenas, especialmente de seus filhos. O esforço missionário e educativo idealizado pela Companhia de Jesus, como se observa nos escritos de Nóbrega, foram atividades estratégicas essenciais, e de caráter político. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico numa abordagem histórica. O texto está dividido em duas seções: na primeira, trata de Manuel da Nóbrega e a Companhia de Jesus; e na segunda, discute a filosofia educacional dos jesuítas. Para a realização da pesquisa analisamos o texto “Diálogo sobre a conversão do gentio”. A análise do pensamento de Nóbrega permite conhecer a dinâmica das práticas de conversão e também de expansão territorial da Coroa portuguesa.

This study explores the perspectives of Muslim communities in Bandung and the views of Indonesian clerics towards transgender beauty contests in Jakarta. These contests raise tensions between conservative Islamic religious values ??and modern social dynamics that are more inclusive of non-conventional gender identities. Using a qualitative approach, this study collected data through an online survey and content analysis of clerics’ sermons. The results show that the majority of Muslim respondents reject transgender beauty contests, citing their religious teachings and prevailing social norms. In addition, clerics stated that these activities violate the principle of divinity in Pancasila, emphasizing the role of religion in shaping public perceptions. This study provides insight into cultural resistance to non-conventional gender phenomena in Indonesia, as well as its implications for public policy and social understanding in a Muslim-majority context.
