Tito kémei vagy Sztálin ügynökei?
Authors: Lazăr Daniel
Published: January 2025

Josip Broz Tito started as a notorious Stalinist and ended up becoming an opponent of Joseph Stalin. In this respect, the ideological confusion in Yugoslavia during 1948–1949 is significant. The thorough investigations conducted by Security services and Prosecution over the so called 'anti-Tito refugees`' also included Romania, as well as the communist countries bordering Yugoslavia: Albania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The refugees were sent to special colonies, made far from the common border in places where they were offered a job, the chance to resume their education, as well as civic and cultural integration etc. Of course, their supervision in the field went on uninterruptedly. A special concern during the Securitate questioning of Serbian deserters in Romania was to collect detailed information about Yugoslavia. The image created was necessary both in order to identify their country’s weaknesses, the degree to which the Yugoslav population adhered Tito’s politics and to know the defence capacities of the `ideological enemy`. Furthermore, the fact that opponents were asked to write and to tell without interruptions suggests that Securitate wanted fi rst-hand knowledge of what it was like ‘on the other side’. Information stating that `Titoist Yugoslavia` sanctioned listening to Radio Moscow, Radio Bucharest, Radio Budapest but allowed listening to Radio Free Europe, Voice of America and BBC, that cinemas run especially Hollywood movies followed by Italian and French ones, that bookshops removed the works of Stalin and his acolytes certainly stirred – besides serious migraines – the increasing curiosity of the Romanian Securitate staff.
Az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia és Nagy-Britannia kapcsolatai a kiegyezést követő időben (1867–1871), Lutter János és Virgil Mühlbacher pécsi irathagyatéka alapján
Authors: Bertalan Bordás
Published: January 2025

In the politically turbulent period of the late 1860s, when the Austro-Hungarian Empire was emerging from a Prussian-Austrian war, Foreign Policy Decision-makers of the state were desperate for allies. Between 1867 and 1871, the Monarchy was exhausted militarily, economically, and socially, and seemed incapable of exercising modest power display, as it was just beginning to rebuild aft er the defeat at Sadowa. Almost as a matter of course at this time, the Monarchy was looking for an alliance with another empire, and Britain happened to look for a continental partner. The island nation was initially rather disinterested in the affairs of the continent, as the English liberal political elite had to deal with issues such as the Irish question, the American Civil War and the extension of voting rights in 1867. Nonetheless, the renewed Austro-Hungarian state attracted attention as Austria’s transformation created a new situation in Europe. On a personal level, the relations between the two states included the subordinates of the Austrian Chancellor and Foreign Minister Friedrich Ferdinand von Beust: the Hungarian-born Count Rudolf Apponyi (II), who represented Austria-Hungary as ambassador in London until his dismissal in 1871, and the later Foreign Minister, Count Gusztáv Kálnoky. The foreign policy-related archival material of the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv (HHStA) of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the foreign relations of the second half of the century were the subject of many national and foreign authors. Between 1926 and 1930, Virgil Mühlbacher researched the Austro–Hungarian archive documents of the period between 1867 and 1871, and prepared extracts for János Lutter, who published regularly between the two world wars. These documents are currently housed in the Historical Collections Department of the University of Pécs (PTE-TGYO). Also, the authors may have be planning to publish a major work. In addition to the extracts, the boxes contain copies of documents from the HHStA. Conclusively, there is no comprehensive work available on the chancellorship of Beust, in the period between 1867 and 1871 currently. However the documents left behind by Mühlbacher, which are the subject of the present study, could have filled this gap in the history of Hungarian foreign policy. A further interesting feature of the documents is that Mühlbacher’s notes on the documents from the London embassy are more detailed, than his copies of the documents from the Berlin, Belgrade and Paris embassies. It is also worth noting that some of the documents are presumably only available in Pécs, and are not available in their original location in Vienna.
A koherenciaérzés összefüggése az internetfüggőséggel
Authors: Csuka Csanád
Published: January 2025

Az elméleti tanulmány célja, hogy feltárja az internetfüggőség és a koherenciaérzés közötti lehetséges összefüggéseket. A nemzetközi kvantitatív kutatásokat bemutató szakirodalmi források áttekintése alapján a szerző arra a következtetésre jut, hogy az internetfüggőség és a koherenciaérzés negatívan korrelálnak egymással, továbbá több tanulmány is egyértelmű ok-okozati kapcsolatról számol be a két fogalom között. Ez arra utal, hogy a koherenciaérzés védőfaktorként működhet az internetfüggőséggel szemben. Az internetfüggőség gyors terjedése és a magyarországi empirikus kutatási eredmények hiánya célzott empirikus kutatási projekteket tenne szükségessé az internetfüggőség és a koherenciaérzés közötti kapcsolat természetének vizsgálatára.

állampolgári nevelés és a társadalmi innováció kapcsolata
Authors: Nyúl Eszter Anna
Published: January 2025

Jelen tanulmány a neveléstudományi doktori kutatás során kidolgozott „nem formális állampolgárságra nevelési modell” fogalmi keretének elméleti hátterét ismerteti. Szekunder kutatás, ami a releváns szakirodalom összegyűjtését és elemző szintetizálását végezte el, és amely a Kozma féle társadalmi innováció felfogásra épül. A társadalmi innováció, a civil kezdeményezés és az állampolgárságra nevelés kapcsolódási területeit tárja fel, melyben jelen van a tudatosan megélt állampolgárság és annak közösségi tanulás útján történő fejlesztése. Ez utóbbira úgy tekintünk, mint a társadalmi innováció céljára és egyben eszközére: az aktív, demokratikus állampolgár kompetenciái hasznosulnak a közösségi problémamegoldás során.  A társadalmi innováció kezdő lépése emiatt lehet már az is, ha az állampolgárságra nevelés, mint igény megjelenik a közösségben. A kutatás szerint a formális, informális és nem formális állampolgárságra nevelés közül ez utóbbi alkalmas a leginkább arra, hogy az állampolgári kompetenciát fejlessze és az állampolgári identitást erősítse. Az állampolgárságra nevelésben lehet cél ez a közösségi tudat, az ismeretanyag elsajátítása, valamint ennek a tudásnak az alkalmazása egyéni vagy közösségi érdekből. A cél ilyen meghatározása leginkább arra jó, hogy kiderüljön, hol tart a társadalmi megújulás folyamata. A kutatás olyan modellt kívánt az állampolgárságra neveléssel foglalkozó szakemberek számára nyújtani, amely egyszerűen adaptálható és képes a szükségletre adott válaszként hatékonyan támogatni az aktív állampolgárság kibontakozását, és ezen keresztül a társadalmi innovációt.
Female education and socioeconomic outcomes
Authors:   University of Alberta, Gunes Pinar M
Published: January 2025

There is a strong link between mothers’ primary school completion (8 or more years of schooling) and better socioeconomic outcomes, such as improved child health and reduced teenage fertility, but establishing causality is challenging. A 1997 compulsory schooling law in Turkey, which extended education from five to eight years, provides a natural experiment to identify causal effects. Empirical evidence suggests that increased female education from such reform significantly improves many socioeconomic outcomes of mothers and their children. While suggested mechanisms include changes in healthcare services utilization and risky pregnancy behaviors, such as smoking, thorough investigation of underlying channels is lacking.
Wearable Technology in Mobility and Falls Health Care: Finding Consensus on Their Clinical Utility and Identifying a Roadmap to Actual Use
Authors: Ambrens Meghan , Delbaere Kim , Butcher Ken , Close Jacqueline , Gonski Peter , Kohler Friedbert , Lovell Nigel H. , Treacy Daniel , van Schooten Kimberley S.
Published: January 2025

Background:

Despite the promise wearable technology offers through detailed insight into mobility and fall risk, timely identification of high risk, assessment of risk severity, evaluation of clinical interventions, and potential to redefine the assessment of behaviours which influence health, they are not routinely used in clinical practice.

Objective:

Establish consensus on how wearable technology can be applied to support clinical care for people aged 50 and over experiencing changes to mobility and/or who are at increased risk of falling.

Methods:

A Delphi study was conducted among 17 hospital-based health professionals. Over three rounds, experts were asked about fall prevention, mobility assessment, the potential role of wearable sensors, and clinical considerations for implementing wearable technology into practice. Consensus was defined as 75% agreement. Data were analysed using qualitative and quantitative methods.

Results:

Experts found that wearable technology has short and long-term clinical utility, data should be shared with general practitioners to improve long-term health outcomes, and devices would need to fit all individuals with a preference for wrist or pendant-worn locations. Technological literacy was not a perceived barrier. However, cost and data accuracy were important for successful implementation.

Conclusion:

This study provides a group consensus statement and guidance on the clinical implementation of wearable technology to support care for people aged 50 and over experiencing changes to mobility and/or who are at increased risk of falling. Health professionals are receptive to using wearable technologies to advance fall risk and mobility assessment and believe wearable technology has a role in clinical practice.
PATRIMÔNIO ALIMENTAR: PASSOS PARA A GARANTIA DA SOCIOBIODIVERSIDADE E SEGURANÇA/SOBERANIA ALIMENTAR
Authors: Acypreste Izadora Pereira
Published: January 2025

Este trabalho pretende discutir, a partir de algumas experiências de caso, de que forma o processo de patrimonialização de alimentos e saberes relacionados a alimentação podem estar ligadas a fenômenos mais complexos, como a preservação da sociobiodiversidade e a garantia da segurança e soberania alimentar. Com a mudança do sistema de produção e o surgimento das monoculturas de exportação, a produção mundial de alimentos aumentou consideravelmente, ao mesmo tempo em que, desapareceram numerosas variedades de gêneros alimentícios. Dentro desse contexto, partindo da leitura de algumas experiências etnográficas, percebemos que as patrimonializações podem vir a se tornar um poderoso aliado para preservação de alimentos e práticas alimentares.
CERRITO EM TERRAS ALTAS: UM ESTUDO DE CASO A PARTIR DO PORORÓ (PINHAL GRANDE - RS)
Authors: Garcia Anderson Marques
Published: January 2025

Esse artigo apresenta um estudo de caso sobre o processo de formação do Pororó, um sítio arqueológico implementado sobre uma elevação natural localizada na região central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil), composto apenas por sedimento e materiais líticos correlacionáveis com a tradição Umbu proposta pelo PRONAPA (Programa Nacional de Pesquisas Arqueológicas). Durante a escavação do Pororó foi possível perceber que houve uma atividade de manejo na área, com adição de sedimentos e blocos de rochas sobre a sua porção mais elevada, adequando o relevo. Essa situação sugere a existência de distintos fenômenos sociais com construção de Cerritos no Rio Grande do Sul, visto que o caso analisado é distinto dos existentes no litoral desse estado e do Uruguai.
ENTRE LA ARQUEOLOGÍA Y LA HISTORIA: REFLEXIONES SOBRE EL PASADO INDÍGENA DE LAS “TIERRAS BAJAS” DEL SUR DE BRASIL Y ESTE URUGUAYO
Authors: Cabrera Pérez Leonel
Published: January 2025

Los pueblos originarios de la región platense han sido considerados en general, desde una óptica particularmente simple; bajo una perspectiva europeizada y etnocéntrica y dentro de un modelo “cazador primitivo”, estático y atemporal. En general se ha adoptado la situación del siglo XVIII, como parámetro de referencia, para sintetizar el devenir social de toda la región. La historiografía tradicional y mucha de la producida en los últimos tiempos, consciente o inconscientemente, mantienen en lo sustancial dicha visión, la que a través de la “Historia Oficial”, la enseñanza formal y la prensa, llega hasta la comunidad de forma irreflexiva. Tal hecho pone de manifiesto factores histórico-ideológicos complejos que es imprescindible analizar, con el fin de profundizar en los dinámicos procesos socioculturales desarrollados durante los pocos más de tres siglos de contacto interétnico cumplidos, así como profundizar en el sustrato ideológico, que fundamenta tal situación. En particular nos proponemos el reanálisis sucinto de las sociedades indígenas que habitaban el territorio del sur de Brasil y este del actual territorio uruguayo (siglo XVI-XIX), a la luz de los nuevos datos aportados, tanto por la etnohistoria como por la arqueología para dicha región.
ANÁLISE DE OTÓLITOS DO CERRITO RS-LS-11 E RECONSTRUÇÃO DO TAMANHO DE CORVINA, MICROPOGONIAS FURNIERI DEMAREST 1823 (OSTEICHTHYES, SCIANIDAE)
Authors: Chim Eliane Nunes
Published: January 2025

O sítio arqueológico RS-LS-11, localizado no município de Rio Grande, no Sul do Brasil, foi escavado de 1984 a 1986 pela equipe do Laboratório de Ensino e Pesquisa em Arqueologia e Antropologia (LEPAN) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG). Neste trabalho analisamos uma amostra de otólitos encontrados na escavação, datados entre 2056 ± 84 A.P. (LACUFF-13061) e 2147 ± 65 A.P (LACUFF-13060) no âmbito do projeto Arqueologia e História Indígena do Pampa, financiado pelo CNPq. Os otólitos foram limpos e armazenados de forma adequada, triados de acordo com táxon e lateralidade, identificados e quantificados utilizando o Número Mínimo de Indivíduos (NMI). A estimativa de tamanho de Micropogonias furnieri Demarest 1823 (Scianidae) foi realizada de acordo com o comprimento do otólito. Entre os Scianidae foram identificados os táxons Micropogonias furnieri, a corvina, Pogonias cromis Linnaeus 1766, a miragaia, e Menticirrhus sp., o papa-terra, e entre os Siluriformes Genidens spp., os bagres. As possíveis técnicas de pesca e a sazonalidade das capturas são discutidas com base na biologia das espécies encontradas e no tamanho das corvinas.

VOAR, VOAR, SUBIR, SUBIR: um estudo antropológico sobre a suspensão corporal como ritual
Authors: Maduell Gómez Clara , Rodolpho Adriane Luísa
Published: January 2025

O estudo tem como objetivo compreender as práticas de corpo e suas diferentes noções entre os praticantes da suspensão corporal, uma das atividades do universo da body modification -modificações corporais das mais diversas formas (irreversíveis ou não) e feitas por uma razão não médica. As representações corporais são centrais nesse estudo, uma vez que se busca compreender quais as motivações e significados que a alteração voluntária tem para os participantes. A suspensão corporal é uma modificação temporária, que consiste na inserção de ganchos de aço cirúrgico em diferentes pontos do corpo para a elevação no ar, vertical ou horizontalmente, usando um sistema de cordas como meio de içagem. Uma vez que para alguns adeptos a palavra ‘ritual’ é referida para designar a técnica, pretende-se analisar se esta pode ou não ser considerada como um ritual de passagem, à luz da discussão antropológica sobre o tema. Portanto, um dos aspectos a serem igualmente discutidos nesse estudo é retomada dessa técnica ancestral pela cultura urbana ocidental, com a associação de que o corpo é maleável e sujeito às vontades do indivíduo.

Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Konończuk Elżbieta
Published: January 2025

The paper contains the interpretation of the latest novel by Jacek Bocheński Tyberiusz Cezar (2009), in which the narration is conducted from the perspective of a historian-amateur of the antiquity appearing in the role of a guide of a trip following the route of Tiberius. Such a situation of narration constitutes the starting point of reflections on the motif of journey in the historical novel, the phenomenon of historical tourism as well as the journey into the past understood as a metaphor of historical cognition.

Wo war nochmal der Knopf? Der Kampf um die Sichtbarkeit von Radio im Auto
Authors: Niehues Gwendolin
Published: January 2025

Ob beim morgendlichen Pendeln zur Arbeit oder während einer längeren Fahrt in den Urlaub: 90 % der mobilen Radionutzung in Deutschland findet während der Autofahrt statt. Die Radiowellen der ARD begleiten seit Jahrzehnten Millionen von Menschen tagtäglich im Auto und versorgen sie im Sinne des öffentlich-rechtlichen Auftrags mit hochwertigen Informationen und Unterhaltungsangeboten. Neben diesem linearen Radioangebot haben mittlerweile auch On-Demand-Inhalte Einzug ins Cockpit gefunden. Für die ARD ist dieser Wandel ein klares Zeichen: wir müssen uns neu aufstellen und weiterentwickeln, um Hörerinnen und Hörer unterwegs auch in Zukunft mit Informationen zu versorgen, die Sichtbarkeit von Radio aufrecht zu erhalten und zeitgleich durch Innovationen die Chancen zu nutzen, die die Connected Cars der Zukunft bieten.

In dieser Ausgabe stellen wir Ihnen die Studie „German Entertainment & Media Outlook 2024–2028“ vor. Die Studie von PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) präsentiert eine detaillierte Übersicht über die deutsche Unterhaltungs- und Medienbranche. Es werden elf Segmente der Unterhaltungsindustrie im Detail beleuchtet: von Print über Audio bis zu Bewegtbild und Onlineformaten. Zu jedem Segment werden Fakten für das vergangene Jahr geliefert, Prognosen für das laufende Jahr aufgestellt und Trends für die kommenden fünf Jahre vorgestellt. Die Studie zeigt, dass die deutsche Unterhaltungs- und Medienbranche nach der Covid-19-Pandemie im Jahr 2023 um 4,9 % auf 106,6 Milliarden Euro gewachsen ist und weltweit den fünften Platz belegt. Während traditionelle Segmente weiterhin den Großteil des Umsatzes ausmachen, verzeichnen digitale Modelle wie Onlinewerbung und Video-on-Demand das stärkste Wachstum, wobei insbesondere Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) eine zentrale Rolle spielt. KI ermöglicht Effizienzsteigerungen und die Personalisierung von Inhalten, erfordert jedoch neue Lösungen für Urheberrechtsprobleme, wie der Hollywood-Autorenstreik verdeutlichte. Für 2024 und darüber hinaus wird ein stabiles Wachstum erwartet, getragen von der Dynamik der digitalen Segmente und der steigenden Bedeutung von Live-Events.
Modelo didáctico basado en técnicas de estudio: Un análisis en estudiantes de enfermería de Ecuador
Authors: Delgado-Molina Jaqueline Beatriz , Parrales-Choez Ana Joselyn , Quiroz-Figueroa Martha Saida , Pincay-Cañarte María Elena
Published: January 2025

Objective. To design a didactic model for teaching based on the study techniques applied by nursing students in an Ecuadorian university. Methodology. A quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-intervention evaluation of a particular group and experts in pedagogy validated the proposed didactic model. The universe was made up of students in the first and seventh semesters of the bachelor’s degree in nursing from an Ecuadorian university. The intervened group corresponded to 80 students of regular attendance and enrolled in the total credits of the selected semesters. An instrument adapted from the Study Skills Survey proposed by Brown & Holtzman (1990) was applied. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage were analyzed. Results. The data obtained before and after the application of the model were significant; the didactic model combines, through the diagnosis, planning, execution, and control of actions, a system of relationships between understanding, analysis, and health needs, with an emphasis on communication and people skills, emotional stability, and physical resistance. Discussion. The implementation contributed to the improvement of the organization, planning of activities, adoption of study techniques, and motivation of students to conduct the academic activities of independent work of the bachelor’s degree in nursing, as well as to project the articulation of the knowledge learned at the university in their working life. Conclusion. The model could be the basis for improving teaching and learning strategies for future curricular designs for nursing education.
The Effect of PISA-Based Educational Program on Mathematical Achievement
Authors: Tashtoush Mohammad , Qasimi Aida , Sheerawi Nawal , AL-Shannaq Mamoon
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to investigate the impact of an educational program rooted in the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) on the mathematical achievement of tenth-grade female students. The study adopted a quasi-experimental approach, with two distinct groups: an experimental group exposed to the PISA-based educational program and a control group receiving conventional instruction. A meticulously crafted mathematical achievement test served as the primary assessment tool. The findings unequivocally revealed a substantial improvement in the mathematical achievement of both study groups post-test. Notably, significant differences in arithmetic means and standard deviations were observed between the groups, with the experimental group exhibiting markedly higher achievement scores. To determine the statistical significance of these differences, ANCOVA analysis was employed, alongside effect size calculations. In addition, the displayed results indicated statistically significant differences favoring the experimental group. In conclusion, this study underscores the substantial positive impact of the educational program based on the International Study for Student Assessment PISA on the mathematical achievement of tenth-grade female students. These results contribute to the body of knowledge on effective educational strategies and emphasize the potential benefits of integrating PISA-based educational programs into math instruction.
Education as Performative Contradiction: Limits (And Possibilities) of Subjectification in the Anthropocene
Authors: Pocius Audrius
Published: January 2025

An environmentally reoriented educational policy is oftentimes regarded as the premier locus for a societal response to the climate crisis. As observed by Gough (2021), a general belief shared among both policy makers and academics is a consensus that education needs to be perceived less as an instrument for securing sociocultural reproduction and transmission of existing knowledge and more as a catalyst for social and cultural change. The aim of this article is a critical investigation into possibilities and obstacles for education to achieve such change, given the condition of ‘ontological insecurity’ (Hamilton, 2017) that the Anthropocene implies. It is divided into three parts: 1) following Chakrabarty, I identify the politico-aesthetic challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change and formulate their relevance as an educational ordeal; 2) I enquire about the challenges and possibilities for environmental education to foster societal change and conclude that, while a general policy change toward sustainable education may be insufficient, education remains a premier site where negotiations could take place between the deep-seated beliefs about subjectivity and an open anticipation of unforeseen modes of agency; 3) after providing a comparative analysis of classical humanist Bildung and post-humanist accounts of subjectification in education, I conclude that these approaches constitute a performative contradiction, which allows the experiential challenges of the Anthropocene to be approached in terms of a reimagined aesthetic education thematized as a critique of (human) capacity.
Towards Fostering Education of Future Health Workers: Exploring the Understanding of Work with People with Disabilities through Collage Method
Authors: Girdzijauskienė Rūta , Rupšiene Liudmila , Ratkevičienė Milda
Published: January 2025

The healthcare system has long discussed the need to remove barriers faced by people with disabilities, however, health workers are often still not prepared to efficiently work with such people, and their education is still inadequate. This article explores future health workers’ understanding of the work with people with disabilities. The research study included five students from institutions of higher education studying in programmes training health workers. Research analysis included collages by two groups, transcripts of their presentations and researcher field notes. Analysis of the research study has helped to identify the topics of contextuality of professional activity and professional agency. When considering their future professional work with people with disabilities, students paid attention to the geographical (local), social and political contexts. The agency in the professional activity was expressed weakly. Research participants introduced several ideas how it would be possible to solve problems of people with disabilities. However, they did not consider actions how it could be done, nor did they make a connection between the changes in the healthcare system and their future professional activities. The article raised a question how to consolidate the education of future health specialists so that, after graduation, they would be able to work more efficiently with people with disabilities and meet their needs.
The Milesian School: the Relationship between Religion and Philosophy
Authors: Degutis Mykolas
Published: January 2025

This article proposes an interpretation of the fragments of the Milesian thinkers which aims to demonstrate the compatibility of their thought with the Greek religious tradition. The concept of the first principle denotes a shared discourse between philosophers and poets, both of which focused on elucidating the origin or essence of the cosmos. From this common discourse, the Milesians develop a unique perspective on religion, exemplified by the suggested reading of Thales’ dictum ‘everything is full of gods’: it is argued that the dictum criticises the common popular view of the gods. By acknowledging this critical Milesian perspective on the gods, we can also analyse other Milesian fragments in a new light thus disclosing their inclination to perceive the gods via an ontological lens.
Давня лексика української мови на тлі суспільних змін

Published: January 2025

У доповіді йдеться про проблему упередженого ставлення до давньої за походженням української лексики. Ці пуристичні тенденції, спрямовані на подолання наслідків російського впливу та дистанціювання від російських запозичень, посилилися з початком широкомасштабного вторгнення РФ. Наведено приклади одиниць, які помилково кваліфікують як мовні покручі й кальки з російських прототипів. Розглянуто причини вилучення з ужитку та оголошення питомих українських форм російськими або суржиковими. Наголошено на важливості фахового підходу до оцінки мовних та мовно-культурних надбань минулого, необхідності збереження історичної пам’яті українців, що має стати складовою державної мовної політики.

Authors: Paolucci Luca , Shabbir Asad , Lombardi Marco , Jerónimo Adrián , Escaned Javier , Gonzalo Nieves
Published: January 2025

Stent underexpansion (SU) and aorto-ostial lesions (AOL) are challenging conditions commonly faced during clinical practice in the setting of percutaneous coronary interventions. Compared to other interventional settings, both SU and AOL are associated with an increased risk of immediate and late events following percutaneous coronary intervention. Several specific strategies including the systematic use of intracoronary imaging and dedicated techniques for lesions’ preparation and calcium debulking have been described. This narrative review summarises the currently available options for the diagnosis and treatment of both SU and AOL, highlighting the potential benefits and limits of each technique in these specific settings.

Miklós Zrínyi in Venice: Trading advantages, cultural interests and political intrigue in the mid-17th century
Authors: Nicolosi Simona
Published: January 2025

In the mid-17th century, Venice became the stage on which the Zrínyi family played out its many and multifaceted political, commercial and cultural interests. The elder brother Miklós (1620–1664), besides being one of the most well-regarded poets of 17th-century Hungarian literature, was also a politician (serving as the Ban of Croatia) and a skilled businessman. He spent his entire life fighting against the Turkish Ottoman invaders, while also attempting to reign in the uneasy alliance with the Habsburgs. The focus of this paper is to explore the visits Miklós made to Venice, together with his younger brother Péter (1621–1671) and his sister-in-law Katarina Frankopan (1625–1673), to look after their commercial interests, as well as to purchase Italian editions for their well-stocked library and find a publisher for their own translations and, last but not least, to forge diplomatic ties with the French ambassador Piero Bonsi (1631–1703), in a bid to defend the independence of Hungary, even if this meant upsetting the traditional European alliances.
Gaming disorder: Neural mechanisms and ongoing debates
Authors: Zheng Yong-Bo , Zhang Sheng-Nan , Tang Hua-Da , Wang San-Wang , Lin Xiao , Bao Yan-Ping , Wang Yu-Mei , Griffiths Mark D. , Sun Jie , Han Ying , Lu Lin
Published: January 2025

Background and aims

The inclusion of gaming disorder as a new diagnosis in the 11th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) has caused ongoing debate. This review aimed to summarise the potential neural mechanisms of gaming disorder and provide additional evidence for this debate.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature review of gaming disorder, focusing on studies that investigated its clinical characteristics and neurobiological mechanisms. Based on this evidence, we further discuss gaming disorder as a psychiatric disorder.

Results

The present review demonstrated that the brain regions involved in gaming disorder are related to executive functioning (e.g., anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), reward systems (e.g., striatum and orbitofrontal cortex), and emotional regulation (e.g., insula and amygdala). Despite the inclusion of gaming disorder in the ICD-11, the debate remains on the benefits and harms of classifying it as a mental health disorder. Opponents argue that the current manifestations that support gaming disorder as a psychiatric disorder remain inadequate, it could cause moral panic among healthy gamers, and that the label of gaming disorder is stigmatising.

Discussion

Evidence suggests that gaming disorder shares similar neurobiological alterations with other types of behavioural and substance-related addictions, which further supports gaming disorder as a behavioural addiction. Ongoing debates on whether gaming disorder is a psychiatric disorder push for further exploring the nature of gaming disorder and resolving this dilemma in the field.
A college writing in the era of writing using artificial intelligence
Authors:   res inst edu sci, Yoon Jae-yeon
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of writings written using generative artificial intelligence, and based on this, to find application and response measures in university writing education. The characteristics of writings written using generative artificial intelligence were grasped through qualitative analysis of AI-generated texts. In addition, it suggested a direction on how to apply and respond to these characteristics in college writing classes. First, AI-generated texts have structural typicality. Second, general and universal expressions are repeated in AI-generated texts. Therefore, the content of AI-generated texts is too ordinary and lacks specific details. Third, AI can produce fairly meticulously plausible lies. The first AI-generated texts are usually overly general or lacking in detail, but if you are constantly instructed to ‘write in detail’, you can write a text with a considerable level of detail. Fourth, AI-generated texts may contain clearly untrue information, and errors that do not match the intention of the questioner may occur. Instructors can use these characteristics as a criterion for guiding students correctly by properly grasping them. Students will be motivated to accept critically without indiscriminately plagiarizing by understanding the characteristics of AI-generated texts.

This study explores the integration of Islamic jurisprudence principles, particularly maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa (objectives of Islamic law) and ḍawābiṭ (regulatory principles ensuring adherence to justice and moderation), into the United Nations' (UN) Global Human Security Framework. Using a recommendatory legal research methodology, this study analyses international legal documents, such as UNGA Resolution 66/290, and classical Islamic texts, including Al-Ghazali’s Al-Mustasfa. The findings reveal a strong alignment between maqāṣid al-Sharīʿa and the human security dimensions outlined by the UN, encompassing protection of religion, life, intellect, lineage, and wealth. By incorporating Islamic principles, this research offers a culturally inclusive and ethically grounded approach to global security challenges. The application of ḍawābiṭ highlights the importance of balancing justice and moderation in addressing critical issues such as economic inequality, humanitarian crises, and governance challenges. This study contributes to the discourse on global human security by proposing a novel framework that bridges religious law and international governance, providing a foundation for future interdisciplinary studies.

Authors: Garcia Andreia
Published: January 2025

While companies across different sectors in the Western world have increasingly begun to value their employees’ roles, this practice is not yet universal in our globalized economy. This research examines how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced employee communication practices within pharmaceutical companies operating in Portugal. Through a survey of communication managers, our findings reveal that these companies not only shifted to online communication channels during the pandemic but continue to maintain these digital platforms as primary communication tools.

Background and Objectives: Forward Head Posture is a prevalent postural deviation among school children, leading to musculoskeletal disorders. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Forward Head Posture among school-going students.
Method: A cross-sectional study conducted on1 263 students (189 boys and 74 girls) aged 12-16 years from schools in Coimbatore. Forward Head Posture is assessed using the craniovertebral (CV) angle measured with MB Ruler software. A craniovertebral angle of less than 49 degrees was classified as Forward Head Posture. Data on gender, age, weight, height, and body mass index were collected.
Result: The study found a 21.28% overall prevalence of Forward Head Posture (FHP) among the students. The prevalence was higher in girls (28.38%) compared to boys (18.52%). The mean Craniovertebral angle was 46.95° for boys and 45.59° for girls.
Conclusion: The findings indicated a significant presence of Forward Head Posture among 12-16 years old school students, particularly in females. Awareness of proper posture and ergonomic practices, along with lighter backpacks, will help mitigate this issue.
KEYWORDS: Forward Head Posture, Craniovertebral angle, Posture, Body Mass Index.

Background: Post-Polio Health International estimated that 12-20 million people worldwide experience the aftereffects of poliomyelitis. A significant proportion of polio survivors experience muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, new muscle weakness, and fatigue. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of manifestations among patients with post-polio syndrome.
Aim: To observe the prevalence of clinical manifestations in post-polio syndrome individuals using An Index of Post-Polio Sequelae.
Methodology: In this observational study, 90 participants were enrolled following a thorough evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Consent was secured before the assessment. We assess the presence and severity of post-polio manifestations by an Index of post-polio sequelae. Data was analysed using Microsoft Excel.
Study design: An observational study.
Result: Study revealed that muscle weakness in involved muscle (100%) and muscle atrophy (100%) were the most prominent manifestations among total participants, contractures were observed in 94.40% individuals, muscle weakness in uninvolved muscle (55.6%), 56.6% experienced muscle pain, 42.2% reported joint pain, 30% suffered fatigue, 27.7% participants had breathing problems, 13.3% faced sleep disturbance, difficulty in swallowing (2.2%) and carpal tunnel syndrome (1.11%) identified as the least prevalent manifestations. In this study, we also observed that among the three factors- pain, atrophy, and bulbar, the severity of the atrophy factor was the highest amongst individuals with Post Polio Syndrome.
Conclusion: The study highlights the predominant musculoskeletal and systemic manifestations, including muscle weakness, atrophy, and contractures which significantly impair mobility and quality of life. Progressive weakening of uninvolved muscles and limbs, pain, and fatigue hinder daily activities, leading to social hesitation.

Missing Data Substitution for Enhanced Robust Filtering and Forecasting in Linear State-Space Models
Authors: Dobrev Dobrislav , Szerszeń Paweł J.
Published: January 2025

Replacing faulty measurements with missing values can suppress outlier-induced distortions in state-space inference. We therefore put forward two complementary methods for enhanced outlier-robust filtering and forecasting: supervised missing data substitution (MD) upon exceeding a Huber threshold, and unsupervised missing data substitution via exogenous randomization (RMDX).Our supervised method, MD, is designed to improve performance of existing Huber-based linear filters known to lose optimality when outliers of the same sign are clustered in time rather than arriving independently. The unsupervised method, RMDX, further aims to suppress smaller outliers whose size may fall below the Huber detection threshold. To this end, RMDX averages filtered or forecasted targets based on measurement series with randomly induced subsets of missing data at an exogenously set randomization rate. This gives rise to regularization and bias-variance trade-off as a function of the missing data randomization rate, which can be set optimally using standard cross-validation techniques.We validate through Monte Carlo simulations that both methods for missing data substitution can significantly improve robust filtering, especially when combined together. As further empirical validation, we document consistently attractive performance in linear models for forecasting inflation trends prone to clustering of measurement outliers.
Vinča Apocalypse: Necroecologies of Eventful Waste in Postsocialist Serbia
Authors: Filipović Andrija
Published: January 2025

Considering that as much as 99% of waste ends up in legal and illegal landfills in Serbia, the short (non-)organic life of waste requires particular attention. The article shows that the ontology of waste needs to be critically rethought in order to properly understand such an anthropogenic matter and the ways in which it interacts with the human, the more-than-human and the other-than-human. Waste is rethought as constitutive of postsocialist necroecologies, those naturalcultural (a)biotic assemblages that, through the complexly sedimented effects of forms of governance, produce spatio-temporal environmental conditions that lead to the maiming, incapacitation, and slow death of certain (non)human actors.
The Human and the Non-Human in the Prose of László Krasznahorkai and Film of Béla Tarr
Authors: Bradić Marijeta
Published: January 2025

László Krasznahorkai and Béla Tarr are contemporary Hungarian authors known for their long-lasting collaboration. In the late stage of his film-directing career (1988 – 2011), Tarr adapted several Krasznahorkai's novels, while the screenplay of his last film – The Turin Horse (A torinói ló, 2011) – was written by Krasznahorkai himself. The traces of Krasznahorkai's style are evident in Tarr's films not only on the level of themes and motives, but also on the level of form. Some of the main characteristics of their collaborative work include setting up an apocalyptic tone, slow flow of time, and frequent animalistic motives (e.g. cow herds grazing in the opening scene of Sátántangó, a taxidermied whale as the central motif in Werckmeister Harmonies, a horse as a character in The Turin Horse). What makes both of these authors distinctive is their interest in nonhuman subjects, namely the animals. Therefore, this article will focus on their two apocalyptic works – Krasznahorkai’s novella Animalinside (2011) and Tarr’s The Turin Horse – starting from the assumption that Krasznahorkai uses “animal narrators” in Animalinside, while Tarr aims to depict the inner life of an animal in The Turin Horse (Bernaerts et al. 2014). Their shared stylistic and formal characteristics result in similar effects for the reader/viewer and are the product of a “double dialectic”: empathy with non-human subject and estrangement, that is, a subversion of assumptions and expectations about animal subjects on one hand, and the subversion of human “experientiality” on the other (Bernaerts et al. 2014; Fludernik 1996). Starting from these assumptions, the article will consist of comparative analysis of narrative techniques in these two media, i.e., in the aforementioned novella and film, which generate similar effects and serve the same idea: challenging anthropocentric worldviews.
Contribuições da arquitetura e do urbanismo para a problemática da população em situação de rua em São Paulo, Brasil

Published: January 2025

The existence of people living in public urban spaces is a global phenomenon with limited design/spatial solutions. Since the 2000s, the Census of the Homeless Population in Brazil has tracked a steady increase in this population in São Paulo, which can be attributed to widespread unemployment, housing shortages, and high rental prices. This situation was exacerbated after the Covid-19 pandemic, when, according to the 2019 and 2021 Censuses, there was a 31% increase in this population and a 330% rise in improvised housing solutions. Currently, the demand for shelters and services exceeds the capacity of the existing system. This article addresses the issue of homelessness in contemporary cities from a spatial perspective, discussing possible urban interventions and presenting a final project derived from an academic experience. Beginning with an analysis of the existing context of the homeless population and the urban conditions along a raised expressway that cuts through central São Paulo, then proceeds to identify underused land. The design strategy includes supplementing the existing network of services and providing diverse assistance and types of housing/shelter for a fundamentally heterogeneous population. Finally, an architectural project is presented, based on the premise of providing services to the "Welcome Center" and the neighborhood, aimed at offering stability and dignity to homeless people and providing permanent housing as a first step toward promoting social reintegration and well-being.

Gender is a concept that differentiates women and men based on socio-cultural construction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate gender representation through male and female characters in Baker’s Princess Between Worlds. The data were collected from the novel using qualitative descriptive and feminist methods. Furthermore, the depiction of the characters was analyzed from five key aspects of gender proposed by Oakley, namely dress, gestures, occupation, social networks, and personality. The analysis showed that the characters attempted to break away from traditional stereotypes, separating both genders into different classes. Baker also reflected values of equality, justice, and the recognition of broader gender identities.
