Characterization of Electrically Conductive Adhesives to Enable Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cell Interconnection
Authors: Böck Leonhard , Rößler Torsten
Published: January 2025

The mechanical stability of interconnections in solar modules is crucial for their long-term performance. Electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) offer a promising solution for the interconnection of perovskite-silicon tandem (PVST) solar cells due to their low-temperature processibility. In this study, the influence of low curing temperatures on the mechanical and electrical properties of ECAs was investigated to assess their suitability for PVST technology. Four commercially available ECAs were characterized, focusing on curing temperatures of 100 °C, 140 °C, and 180 °C. Mechanical characterization through tensile tests and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed varying Young’s modulus (E) (stiffness) and glass transition temperatures (TG) among the ECAs. Electrical characterization showed that lower curing temperatures generally led to lower volume resistivity, particularly for ECA C. However, joint resistance values exhibited high standard deviations. Void analysis indicated that void formation had a negligible effect on the mechanical properties of ECAs. Furthermore, the influence of curing degree on mechanical and electrical properties was investigated, highlighting the importance of complete curing for achieving desired properties. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into optimizing the interconnection process for PVST solar cells, essential for enhancing the long-term stability and performance of solar modules
Isbat Nikah dalam Legalitas Hukum Islam dan Perdata di Indonesia Perspektif Maslahah Mursalah
Authors: Aziz Abdul , Maksum Ghufron , Nugraha Iqbal Subhan
Published: January 2025

Marriage validation is a crucial legal mechanism in Indonesia, especially for marriages that are not officially registered. This study explores marriage validation from the perspective of Maslahah mursalah, a principle in Islamic law emphasizing public interest and welfare. Maslahah mursalah serves to bridge legal gaps when the texts of Sharia law do not explicitly address specific situations, such as marriages that are religiously valid but unregistered. Within the framework of Indonesian civil law, marriage validation, which involves submitting a petition to the religious court, enables the formal recognition of marriages to ensure the protection of family rights, such as inheritance and alimony. The application of maslahah mursalah in marriage validation contributes to social justice by providing decisions that consider practical community needs and contemporary conditions. This research demonstrates how this principle can be integrated into positive law to address new challenges in family law enforcement, ensuring that legal decisions align with principles of justice and public welfare. Thus, marriage validation from the perspective of maslahah mursalah acts as a bridge between Sharia law and the realities of civil law in Indonesia.
Do Public Works Programs Have an Impact? Evidence from Rwanda
Authors: Habimana Dominique , Haughton Jonathan
Published: January 2025

Public works (PW) programs have become increasingly popular in Africa and elsewhere. They are seen as contributing to the social safety net in rural areas, and as a way to help households build assets. The authors seek to measure the impact of Rwanda’s Vision 2020 Umurenge (VUP) PW program, using data from the 2016/2017 Integrated Household Survey. All four matching models showed no measurable effect of the program on poverty and consumption, although there were modest positive effects on livestock accumulation and on financial inclusion. These findings are in line with a growing literature that finds PW programs to have limited immediate effects—in part because the resources devoted to the programs are limited and variable. It also appears that households substitute time spent on PW for time spent on other activities. A simulation exercise suggests that in order to have a substantial effect on household incomes, PW programs would need to be more predictable, more widespread, and guarantee more work. Whether this is a good use of public funds, relative to unconditional cash transfers, is far from clear.
Does Labor Market Performance Matter? Expected Return to Education, Schooling, and Child Labor in Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Ehouman Williams Venance Ahouakan
Published: January 2025

This article investigates whether expected returns to education affect the incidence of child labor in Côte d’Ivoire. Nationally, approximately a quarter of children in the age group of 5 to 17 years are actively involved in economic activities. Child labor is a matter of concern in Côte d’Ivoire, as it interferes with schooling. The study also attempts to solve an omitted variable problem present in previous studies using spatial econometrics techniques. Results show that households’ decisions to provide their children with schooling or to involve them early in the labor market are sensitive to the expected returns to education in their place of residence as well as those of other regions of Côte d’Ivoire. The results indicate that improvements in the expected returns to education reduce the likelihood of the involvement of both boys and girls in child labor, while it only increases girls’ probability of attending school. An explanation of this could be found in the low expected returns to education. Indeed, many educated people in this country experience difficulties in finding decent jobs. Consequently, a sound educational system and labor market reforms likely to raise the return to education could help reduce child labor and improve girls’ schooling.
The “Green Children of Woolpit”: A Weird Allegory of Isolation, Otherness, and Belonging
Authors: Overall Sonia
Published: January 2025

The English folk legend of the “Green Children of Woolpit” has enduring appeal. First appearing as a wonder tale in the medieval chronicles of William of Newburgh and Ralph of Coggeshall, the children’s story has attracted numerous retellings across a range of creative forms. The sudden appearance of the green-skinned brother and sister, dressed in strange clothes and speaking an unintelligible language, has been the subject of multiple theories, from the scientific to the speculative, with the children recast as fey folk, aliens, lost immigrants, and malnourished foundlings. Focusing on two recent short story re-visionings of the tale, this creative-critical essay examines the legend through a consideration of the original tale’s landscape in Suffolk and explores representations of otherness, gender, and the nonhuman found in these retellings.
William Stukeley and the Exploration of Paradise
Authors: Wilson Simon Richard
Published: January 2025

This article examines the writings of eighteenth-century antiquarian William Stukeley. It argues that Stukeley conceived of the megalithic monuments of England as portals into a transfigured, paradisiacal landscape in which matter was spiritualized and spirit materialized. Throughout, the piece draws on Henry Corbin’s discussion of imagination as a mode of super-sensory perception and its revelation of a visionary geography, which in turn mirrors back the truth of imaginative perception in endless co-creation. However, Stukeley, it goes on to argue, believed that the spiritualized landscape was being destroyed by a new materialism, so that he had to rely less on the presence of a divine landscape and more on personalized imagination as a way of accessing Paradise. The article also briefly examines Stukeley’s influence on antiquarians, William Blake and the wider English public, particularly in the way they conceived of and experienced the relationship between imagination and divinized landscape.

The frequent use of antibiotics poses a variety of problems and is a global threat to health, especially bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease and is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. By employing antibiotics judiciously, we can prevent the emergence of antibiotic resistance, resulting in reduced treatment costs, shorter hospital stays, finansial savings for healthcare institutions, and improved hospital services quality. This study aims to provide a quantitative and qualitative analysis of antibiotic use in patients with pulmonary TB. We conducted a retrospective descriptive study using medical records of inpatients diagnosed with pulmonary TB at Rumah Sakit Umum Haji Surabaya during 2019. Quantitave analysis employed the DDD/100 patient-days method, while qualitative analysis was conducted using the Gyssens algorithm. In total, 109 patients met the inclusion criteria. Antibiotic utilization patterns in pulmonary TB patients revealed the following: a combination of rifampicin and isoniazid was used in 31 patients (12.25%); a combination of rifampicin, isoniazid, and ethambutol was used in 17 patients (6.72%); ceftriaxone was administered to 82 patients (32.41%); and levofloxacin was prescribed for 51 patients (20.16%). The highest quantitative analysis using DDD/100 patient-days was observed for isoniazid at 45.04, followed by ceftriaxone at 44.83 and levofloxacin at 35.26. qualitative analysis, according to the Gyssens method, resulted in Category O for 102 patients (93.57%), Category IIa for 4 patients (3.67%), Category IVb for 1 patient (0.92%), and Category VI for 1 patient (0.92%). From the results obtained it could be concluded that the utilization of antibiotics in treating pulmonary TB patients adhered to recommended guidelines.

Published: January 2025

Hypertensive patients often get more than one type of drug therapy to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the use of too many drugs has the potential to increase the incidence of Drug Related Problems (DRPs). The incidence of DRPs resulted in an increase in health care costs and hospitalizations, length of hospital stay, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality rates.  This study aims to discover the Drug Related Problems (DRPs) that occur in hypertension patients at Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital. Determination of DRPs based on the classification of Drug Related Problems (DRPs) according to PCNE V9.1 of 2020. This study is a descriptive observational research with retrospective data collection using purposive sampling. The instrument used was an observation sheet. The sample in this study was hypertension patients at Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital in August-October 2023 who met the inclusion criteria, namely prescriptions and medical record data of outpatients with a diagnosis of hypertension at Muhammadiyah Lamongan Hospital in August-October 2023, outpatients aged ?18 years and hypertensive patients with or without comorbidities with a total of 132 patients. The results showed that of the 19 categories of DRPs studied, 6 categories of DRPs were found to occur, namely adverse drug events (probably) occurred in as many as 132 events (45.67%), inappropriate drug combinations occurred as many as 124 events (42.91%), treatment was not given or incomplete even though there were indications for 18 events (6.23%), no indications for drugs 9 events (3.11%),  The duration of treatment was too short for 5 events (1.73%), and the duration of treatment was too long for 1 event (0.35%). From the results of the study, it was concluded that the treatment obtained by hypertensive patients can cause various types of DRP events. This requires special attention so as not to increase the risk of medication errors.

Published: January 2025

Hypertension is an abnormal blood pressure that can be measured in at least three different situations. Generally, if blood pressure is more than 140/90 mmHg, then a person is considered to have high blood pressure. Patient characteristics greatly influence the knowledge of hypertensive patients. Knowledge about hypertension influences the patient's own blood pressure control. This study aims to determine the level of patient knowledge about hypertension in controlling blood pressure at one of the Community Health Centers in Lamongan district. This research uses a prospective research method with a nonprobability sampling technique using Accidental Sampling. Prospective data was obtained from the results of the validated Indonesian version of the HKLS questionnaire, distributed to patients starting January-February 2024 with a total of 50 patients.

Authors: Taha Omar Basheer , Nawi Mohamad Arif Awang , Abdullah Johari Yap , Yusof Asilah
Published: January 2025

Background: The mandibular canal (MC) serves as the pathway for the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundles, which terminate at the mental foramen.

Objective: The aim of the study was to compare the shape, size, and location of the MC inferior to the mandibular second molar of an Arab Iraqi population according to gender.

Materials and Methods: The study involved 200 CBCT images (100 males and 100 females) of the Arab population in Iraq, which were examined for the morphology of MC inferior to the mandibular second molar The measurements were shape and size. The location of MC includes distance from the MC to the buccal and lingual alveolar ridges, distance from the MC to the root, distance from the MC to buccolingual borders, and distance from the MC to the inferior border of the mandible.

Results: Mandibular second molars present in 71 males and 60 females on the right side and 55 males and 64 females on the left side. The shape of MC was oval and irregular, with a significant difference between the genders on the right side but no significant difference on the left side. The size and location measurements were larger in males than in females, except for the distance from the MC to the lingual border, which was significantly higher in females. The distance from the MC to the root was zero in one case.

Conclusion: Before performing endodontic or surgical procedures involving the mandibular second molar, it is crucial to accurately identify the MC morphology particularly its location to avoid MC injury. This precise anatomical knowledge is not only essential for successful dental procedures but also plays a vital role in forensic investigations. Dentists, with their knowledge in craniofacial anatomy, are increasingly sought as experts in forensic and legal cases.
Delivery of nose to brain in the management of cerebral vasospasm in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Alkufi Hussein K. , Kassab Hanan J.
Published: January 2025

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) can cause cerebral vasospasm, which narrows the arteries in the brain and significantly affects the prognosis of the patient. Its limitations persist despite current treatments, which is why new delivery pathways such as the nose-to-brain pathway are being investigated. This non-invasive approach to access the central nervous system allows the blood–brain barrier (BBB) to be avoided and systemic side effects to be reduced. The difficulty of delivering drugs to the brain is a major factor in the pharmaceutical industry's focus on aSAH treatments. As a natural defense mechanism, the BBB severely restricts the ability of most medications to enter brain tissue. This obstacle makes it challenging to develop and administer efficient treatments for aSAH, encouraging more studies in this field. The use of nanotechnology is one way to deliver medication via the BBB and into the central nervous system. One possible approach to administer medications directly to the central nervous system is nose-to-brain transfer. It uses the olfactory and trigeminal nerve pathways, which are directly connected to the brain, to cross the BBB. Nasal mucosal permeability can be increased, systemic adverse effects can be reduced, and targeted pharmaceutical delivery and retention in the brain can be enhanced through nanotechnology-based nose-to-brain drug delivery devices. This article examines how drugs are carried from the nose to the brain, recent advances in nanotechnology-based treatments, and potential uses of these systems in the management of central nervous system disorders.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Pulmonary barotrauma in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) carries high risk of mortality. While various studies have reported increased mortality, few have assessed the contributing factors for the occurrence of this complication. This study aimed at exploring the contributing factors for barotrauma in COVID-19 ARDS.

Methodology: In this retrospective study, patients aged ≥18 years with laboratory confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from a nasopharyngeal swab and having severe or critical COVID-19 disease requiring Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria for disease severity in COVID-19 disease admitted at forty-bedded ICUs at a tertiary care research hospital in North India from April 1, 2020, to March 31, 2022 were included.

Results: Of 825 patients admitted to COVID ICU, 40 developed pulmonary barotrauma, with a mortality rate of 85%. The mean ± SD PaO2/FiO2 was 96.76 ± 27.78 mmHg. Thirty-nine patients received steroids, 37 developed secondary bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract with one or more organisms. Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 15), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 10), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 8) were the commonest isolates. Ten patients developed pneumomediastinum, of which 6 patients had subcutaneous emphysema along with pneumomediastinum, and 2 patients developed isolated subcutaneous emphysema. The remaining 28 patients developed pneumothorax.

The mean (±SD) for static respiratory system compliance (Crs) for patients on mechanical ventilation on the day of barotrauma was 19.3 (±10.5) mL/cmH2O.

Conclusion: Patients with COVID-19 ARDS developing pulmonary barotrauma have a high associated mortality, and secondary bacterial infection, lung fragility, patient-ventilator asynchrony, as well as low respiratory system compliance, may contribute to lung injury, predisposing to barotrauma.
Short-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines on cardiac biomarkers: A comparative study between Pfizer/BioNTech and Sinopharm
Authors: Dawood Yousaf , Abed Saddam M. , Khalaf Yousif H.
Published: January 2025

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential cardiac side effects associated with Pfizer/BioNTech and Sinopharm vaccines.

Methods: A total of 200 healthy volunteers were enrolled after receiving two doses of Pfizer/BioNTech or Sinopharm vaccine 21 days apart. In addition, 100 healthy, unvaccinated individuals were included as a control group. Cardiac biomarkers such as cardiac troponin-I (cTnI), creatinine kinase–myocardial band (CK-MB), and myoglobin (MYO) were measured 4 days after receiving the second dose of vaccine. In addition, the SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody levels of all participants were also determined.

Results: Post-vaccination findings in both vaccinated groups were comparable. There was no statistically significant difference in cTnI, MYO, and CK-MB levels between the Pfizer/BioNTech and Sinopharm vaccine groups. Furthermore, our results showed that the levels of SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies stimulated by the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccine were significantly higher (171.19, p < 0.001) compared to the Sinopharm vaccine (70.14). Owing to the successful efficacy of the vaccine and based on the available data, COVID-19 vaccines remain the best option to eliminate the pandemic and its complications.

Conclusion: Our study shows that both Pfizer–BioNTech and Sinopharm vaccines are safe for the heart in the short term, with no significant changes in cardiac biomarkers observed four days after vaccination. The findings suggest that these vaccines are effective and do not pose an immediate risk to cardiovascular health within the observed time frame. However, further research is required to assess the long-term cardiac safety profiles of these vaccines.

Authors: Farooqi Mohammed F. , Khan Maria , Muhammad Arshad M. , Agha Adnan
Published: January 2025

Background: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are modern-day pandemics that have a significant impact on global healthcare. The glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) semaglutide is a novel treatment for both T2DM and obesity, but can be associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism.

Case presentation: This case report describes a 59-year-old woman with T2DM who received semaglutide to manage glycemic levels, and also experienced the additional benefit of weight reduction. Within six months of initiating GLP1-RA, the patient experienced low back pain associated with nausea and poor oral intake. She had no known risk factors for venous thromboembolism or thrombophilia and had no history of significant illness in her family. Her physical examination revealed no significant findings. Only mild leukocytosis and neutrophilia were noted. She underwent an abdominal computed tomography scan, which revealed intrahepatic portal vein thrombosis without evidence of liver cirrhosis or abdominal malignancy. Her symptoms improved with oral anticoagulation (rivaroxaban). The result of thrombophilia examination was negative for inherited or acquired thrombophilia, except for a Janus kinase 2 mutation, which may increase the risk of thrombosis.

Conclusions: The use of GLP1-RA is increasing due to the growing desire for weight loss medications. Therefore, it is important that physicians better understand the possible risks of thrombosis before initiating GLP1-RA treatment.
An overview of the Spanish economy’s performance since the pandemic following the revision of national accounts: a European comparison
Authors: Fernández José Luis , Moral-Benito Enrique , Urtasun Alberto
Published: January 2025

Rationale

The Banco de España Business Activity Survey (EBAE) provides highly valuable, real-time information on a broad sample of Spanish firms’ turnover, employment, costs and prices. This helps to diagnose current economic developments.

Takeaways

•Firms perceive an increase in turnover in 2024 Q4, compared with the decreases in the same quarter of 2022 and 2023. Those located in the Valencia region have reported adverse turnover developments as a result of the impact of the flash floods.

•Inflationary pressures have ticked up slightly in Q4, in both the cost of inputs and selling prices.

•The percentage of firms affected by higher borrowing costs and insufficient demand has fallen, but economic policy uncertainty and labour shortages remain high.

•In a module on advanced technologies, 3% of respondent firms reported a high or moderate use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and 11% are experimenting with them. For firms not yet using AI, the main barriers are a lack of skilled staff, prohibitive costs and significant uncertainty about the legal ramifications.

•Lastly, based on the new series, the tax revenue developments since late 2019 are consistent with those of the macroeconomic bases in cumulative terms. In other words, the so-called tax residuals accumulated following the pandemic are now virtually zero.
The forgotten fragment: Unmasking a rare case of calcified retained placenta at 20 weeks postpartum
Authors: Dasteh Goli Yasaman , L Cvetkovich Lorna
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Retained products of conception (RPOC) are a recognized cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage, most commonly occurring within the early postpartum period. However, delayed presentations with calcified RPOC are rare and pose unique diagnostic challenges. While advanced maternal age, uterine atony, prior cesarean sections, and abnormal placentation— such as placenta accreta spectrum and succenturiate placenta—are common risk factors, RPOC can also occur in low-risk patients and require careful clinical management.

Case Report: A 25-year-old G1P1 woman with an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal delivery presented with persistent intermittent bleeding 20 weeks postpartum. Despite undetectable serum hCG levels and no signs of infection, serial ultrasounds revealed a calcified mass at the uterine fundus. The patient underwent hysteroscopy with dilation and curettage (Dand C), confirming the presence of calcified placental fragments with fibrosis. Her symptoms resolved postoperatively, and no complications were observed. The findings suggest a likely retained succenturiate lobe, an uncommon placental abnormality that was undetected in the immediate postpartum period.

Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of clinical vigilance and timely intervention in managing postpartum complications, particularly in an evolving obstetric population where advanced maternal age and the use of assisted reproductive technologies are becoming more prevalent. Early identification of RPOC, aided by imaging modalities such as ultrasound and saline infusion sonohysterography, and prompt treatment with hysteroscopy and Dand C are essential to prevent complications such as chronic endometritis and intrauterine adhesions. Recognizing rare placental anomalies is critical for optimizing patient outcomes.

Authors: S Al-Risi Maimouna , AR Selim Yasser , A Al Isaii Arwa , A A lmatroushi Noura
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Septic arthritis of the facet joint (SAFJ) is a rare spine condition. Commonly seen in older immune-compromised patients presented with acute back pain, it needs early diagnosis and intervention.

Case Series: We report two cases presented to the emergency as acute onset low back pain with fever and high inflammatory markers. In both cases, patients were admitted and diagnosed with septic arthritis of the facet joint and associated epidural abscess. In the first case, blood cultures were sent to support the diagnosis, while in the second case ultrasound-guided aspiration was done. In both cases, cultures were positive for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and diagnosis confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Both patients were treated with intravenous antibiotics and improved clinically.

Conclusion: This case shows the importance of thinking about septic arthritis in the facet joint in older patients who present with sudden onset back pain associated with high inflammatory markers if other differentials are excluded. Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the imaging modality of choice in the diagnosis. As well, early diagnosis and management play an important role to prevent complications.

Учитывая появление новых видов оружия, новейших видов военной техники, а также постоянное совершенствование существующих вооружений, связанное с бурным развитием науки и техники в XXI веке, можно сказать, что ход и исход войны на сегодняшний день стали более зависимы от экономических ресурсов государства, его военно-экономического потенциала. Яркий пример этому – Арцахская война 2020 года, где применение военно-технических средств нового поколения оказало существенное влияние как на ход, так и исход войны. Ключевые слова – Первая мировая война, экономический потенциал, военное искусство, материально-техничесская база, эшелонированная оборона, оперативное искусство, тактика.
Based on the emergence of new weapons, the newest types of military equipment, as well as the continuous improvement of the existing weapons because of the rapid development of science and technology in the 21st century, it can be said that the course and out-come of the war today is even more dependent on the economic resources of the state, its military-economic potential. Artsakh war in 2020 is a vivid example of all this, where the use of new generation military technical means had a significant impact on both the course and the outcome of the war.

В первом номере «Армянского политологического журнала» 2023 года была опубликована критическая рецензия Армена Айвазяна, озаглавленная «Против искажения истории героической обороны Еревана 1724 года», в которой автор, проанализировав статью Армана Егиазаряна «Самооборона Еревана в 1724 году», пришел к заключению, что все изменения и «новшества», предложенные Арманом Егиазаряном и касающиеся истории самообороны Еревана 1724 года, являются «безосновательными и неверными», в частности, искажена, якобы, хронология исторических событий. In the first volume of the "Armenian Journal of Political Science" for 2023 a critical review by Armen Ayvazyan entitled "Against historical distortion of the epic defense of Yerevan in 1724" was published, where the author analyzed Arman Yeghiazaryan's article "The Self-Defense of Yerevan in 1724" and "concluded" that all the changes and "innovations" proposed by Arman Yeghiazaryan in the history of Yerevan's self-defense in 1724 against the Ottoman army are "baseless and incorrect". In particular, the chronology of historical events is allegedly distorted. In this article, A. Yeghiazaryan analyzes the critical review by A. Ayvazyan and reveals his motives, as well as groundlessness of his views on the chronology and events of the Yerevan self-defense of 1724.

Публикации газет «Азатамарт» и «Жаманак» по земельному вопросу были объективными и беспристрастными. Опубликованные в них факты вынудили правительство возбудить судебные дела. Материалы этих газет представляли взгляды армянских и турецких общественных кругов по земельному вопросу. Армяне считали, что власти Турции прибегали к разным методам присвоения земель армян, и в этой связи указывали на необходимость поиска путей решения данного вопроса. Турецкая сторона защищала права курдских и турецких беев, владевших землями армян. По мнению властей, земельный вопрос был актуален также для курдских и турецких крестьян, посему государство должно было найти решение для всех.
The publications of the "Azatamart" and "Zhamanak" dailies on the land issue were objective and impartial. The facts presented in their articles prompted the government to initiate court cases. These periodicals conveyed the perspectives of both Armenian and Turkish public circles on the land issue. Armenians believed that lands were taken from them by various methods and that specific solutions were needed for them. In contrast, the Turkish side defended the rights of the Kurdish and Turkish beys who owned Armenian lands. According to the authorities, Kurdish and Turkish peasants also faced land issues, and the state should find single solution for all parties involved.
The idea and cultural history of statehood in Hungary
Authors: Fabó Edit
Published: January 2025

The paper presents the history of the interaction between statehood and culture. The literature focuses mainly on the cultural and organizational influence of large empires, but the changes in smaller regions are neglected. The analysis will look at Hungari- an historiographical narratives of the 20th century and changes in modern concep- tualisation in general, based on the history of celebrations in the second half of the 19th century. It also puts the different stages of the history of the state in context and within them the cult representing Christian culture and statehood. The paper aims to establish the concept of “state-creating culture” from a historical perspective and to demonstrate its potential application in explaining past processes, the first attempt to do so in the literature. The conceptualization and the attempt to apply the concept demonstrate that the derived concept is capable of illuminating and summarizing his- torical and cultural processes, since the analysis of the history of state and culture, tak- en as an example, explains the continuity of events and the survival of the community.

Saat ini kekerasan seksual merupakan satu diantara bentuk kekerasan yang sering terjadi pada anak.

Efforts to maintain personal hygiene, health and environmental cleanliness, and prevent the spread of Covid-19 are by using disinfectants, either in the form of hand sanitizers or environmental disinfection. The lecture was conducted by inviting representatives of the Mosque/Mushlla Takmir throughout Surabaya City as many as 200 people. The lecture activity was centered at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University. Testing was carried out using TIB (embryo-bearing duck eggs) as a medium for the growth of coronavirus. All types of disinfectants used in this community service activity are very effective in neutralizing coronavirus. This is indicated by the absence of coronavirus growth in TAB, all showing negative results. This means that the coronavirus that has been disinfected using several disinfectants has died, so it cannot be grown in TAB. In the control group, coronavirus in chickens can cause defects in embryos, in the form of embryo dwarfism and defects in the toes. While in the treatment group given disinfectant, the coronavirus did not grow and did not cause changes in the embryo.
