Attempts at Rapprochement between Bulgaria and Serbia in the Period 1908 – 1909 through the Eyes of Minister Plenipotentiary Andrey Toshev
Authors: Valkova Maria
Published: June 2023

The article aims to trace the rapprochement negotiations between the Bulgarians and the Serbs in the period 1908 – 1909, initiated by the government officials in Belgrade. Through this maneuver, they are trying to secure their Eastern border, which would allow them to focus on their other pressing foreign policy tasks. An important role in the negotiations conducted during the mentioned period was played by the newly appointed Bulgarian diplomatic representative in the Serbian capital Andrey Toshev. A significant part of the research is based on a thorough study and analysis of reports and telegrams written by him to the ruling Democratic Party government in Bulgaria, preserved in funds 176 K (fund of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Confessions) and 315 K (fund of the Bulgarian Legation in Belgrade) of the Central State Archives in Sofia. The later works of the experienced Bulgarian diplomat, concerning the period in question, are also examined, in order to take into account his later positions on the subject. The main method used in the article is historical analysis. Тhe author pays special attention to the tendency of the Serbs to demonstrate ambivalent behavior towards their potential political allies in Sofia, which discourages the latter that rapprochement is a realistic scenario.

Writing evocative case studies: applying autoethnography as a research methodology for the psychotherapist
Authors: Chew-Helbig Nicole
Published: June 2023

This is an introduction to the application of autoethnography, a qualitative research method, an aesthetic inquiry into the psychotherapy process. The method engages the practitioner as researcherautoethnographer who enters a field, which is their client’s therapy process. The aim is to derive insights and deepen the understanding of process, theory and diagnostics from psychotherapy sessions in practice. The therapist creates a reflexive account of their experiences, recording this in their session notes, which are also the field notes and the data. As an autoethnographer, the therapist begins therefrom a process of creative writing. The writing process is reflexive, and aesthetic. Integral to the research method, the act of writing forms a hermeneutic circle where new insights of the phenomenon of therapy happen for the researcher. The writing is created as an art form, usually a story or poetry. The result of this method is a written, evocative, aesthetic representation of the therapy process, based on the phenomenological experience of the practitioner. Demonstrating this method, a single case study of an online Gestalt therapy session of a male client diagnosed with depression and borderline personality disorder is featured in this article. The outcome of this form of aesthetic inquiry is the embodiment of psychotherapy theory through the aesthetic sensibility of the therapist-researcher. Keywords autoethnography, psychotherapy case studies, psychotherapy process research, Gestalt therapy, aesthetic inquiry

Gestalt, the Good and the concept of Ethical Presence
Authors: Chidiac Marie-Anne , Denham-Vaughan Sally
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Building on the core Relational Change ‘SOS’ framework and the central notion of presence, this paper makes the case for introducing a new concept of Ethical Presence as a foundational orientating principle for relational and Gestalt praxis. It begins by highlighting the risks of harm and evil in polarising presence and dismissing aspects of power and privilege that are frequently lying implicitly alongside notions of presence. This in turn leads to an examination of Lewin’s core organising principle that ‘needs organise the field’ from a dialogic as well as phenomenological perspective, which results in a relational reformulation. Ethical Presence is a concept that synthesises the dialectic of egological and ecological self-organisation while attending to others and the situation. Finally, the paper proposes that practitioners reflexively inquire, through the elevation of a dialogic and field orientated stance, and assess the presence of themselves and others since, when I judge myself as ‘present’, an ecological ethical perspective asks what factors in the wider field (power, privilege, etc.) support me to be that way? Keywords: ethics, presence, Ethical Presence, ecological, egological, relational, Gestalt, evil, Lewin.

Criminal legal prevention of crimes committed by participants in protest actions
Authors: Ильин И.С.
Published: June 2023

Рассматривая с общих методологических позиций процесс уголовно-правового предупреждения демонстративно-протестной преступности, можно установить отчетливую корреляцию между совокупностью уголовно-правовых норм и основными этапами (фазами) цикла демонстративно-протестной преступности. Все соответствующие средства уголовно-правовой превенции отчетливо распадаются на средства предупреждения подготовительного, деятельностного и вторичного этапов. При этом столь же отчетлива и логика уголовно-правовой превенции: эффективность воздействия на более ранних этапах развития преступности обеспечивает минимизацию последующей эскалации криминальных конфликтов. В статье обосновано, что минимальный предел превенции, за которым уголовно-правовые средства не могут быть активированы, определяется: а) действиями, которые сознательно направлены на формирование криминогенных факторов, при условии, что сами эти факторы обладают криминальной общественной опасностью, внося существенные деформации в социальную среду; б) действиями, которые содержательно составляют приготовление к преступлению и сами по себе обладают уровнем общественной опасности, оправдывающей уголовно-правовое воздействие.

Considering the process of criminal law prevention of demonstrative protest crime from a general methodological standpoint, it is possible to establish a clear correlation between the totality of criminal law norms and the main stages (phases) of the cycle of demonstrative protest crime. All relevant means of criminal law prevention are clearly divided into means of preventing the preparatory, activity and secondary stages. At the same time, the logic of criminal law prevention is just as clear: the effectiveness of the impact at earlier stages of the development of crime ensures the minimization of the subsequent escalation of criminal conflicts. The article substantiates that the minimum limit of prevention, beyond which criminal legal means cannot be activated, is determined by: a) actions that are deliberately aimed at the formation of criminogenic factors, provided that these factors themselves have a criminal public danger, introducing significant deformations in social environment; b) actions that meaningfully constitute preparation for a crime and in themselves have a level of public danger that justifies the criminal law impact.
Prevention of raider seizures of property committed using gaps in criminal procedure legislation
Authors: Бурынин С.С.
Published: June 2023

Исследование вопросов профилактики захватов имущества, совершаемых с использованием пробелов уголовно-процессуального законодательства, показало наличие определенных проблем. Так, установлено, что указанный вид рейдерства является достаточно латентным. Более того, в законодательстве отсутствует определение термина «рейдерство». Указанное нивелирует профилактику правонарушений, совершаемых при рейдерских захватах имущества, и в целом противодействие данному негативному социально-экономическому явлению как совокупности правонарушений и антиобщественного поведения. Задачей настоящего исследования является определение для целей профилактики понятия рейдерства, его признаков и характерных черт использования пробелов уголовно-процессуального законодательства должностными лицами правоохранительных органов для захвата имущества. В ходе проведения настоящего исследования для отбора и анализа эмпирического материала использовались следующие методы: догматический (изучение и анализ законодательства, а также научных взглядов по тематике исследования); исследование практики противодействия рейдерству (изучение и анализ материалов по жалобам предпринимателей); наблюдение (за работой правоохранительных органов России в сфере противодействия рейдерству); включенное наблюдение (личный опыт автора как сотрудника Следственного комитета Российской Федерации). Основным результатом исследования стала выработка конкретных предложений для профилактики рейдерских захватов имущества, совершаемых с использованием пробелов уголовно-процессуального законодательства.

The study of the prevention of seizures of property committed using gaps in criminal procedure legislation showed the presence of certain problems. It is established that this type of raiding is quite latent. Moreover, there is no definition of the term “raiding” in the legislation. This eliminates the prevention of offenses committed during raider seizures of property, and in general, counteraction to this negative socio-economic phenomenon as a combination of offenses and antisocial behavior. The objective of this study is to determine, for the purposes of prevention, the concept of raiding, its signs and characteristic features of the use of gaps in criminal procedure legislation by law enforcement officials to seize property. In the study, the following methods were used for the selection and analysis of empirical material: dogmatic (study and analysis of legislation, as well as scientific views on the subject of the study); study of the practice of countering raiding (study and analysis of materials on complaints of entrepreneurs); surveillance (of the work of law enforcement agencies of Russia in the field of countering raiding); included surveillance (personal experience the author as an employee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation). The main result of the study was the development of concrete proposals for the prevention of raider seizures of property committed using gaps in criminal procedural legislation.
Discourse Knowledge in English Education: The Key to Understanding Academic Language and Decontextualized Language
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Cho Minkyung
Published: June 2023

The ability to adjust one’s language according to discourse context is important for all English learners. Prior literature has operationalized two distinct types of language used in contexts: academic language and decontextualized language. Despite their similarities, academic language and decontextualized language have been studied in different strands of research. To bring together the discussion around language use in diverse contexts, this study investigated the commonalities between the two constructs by emphasizing the role of discourse knowledge. In doing this, the current study advanced the theoretical understanding of discourse knowledge by identifying its various aspects such as audience awareness (perspective taking), background knowledge, and genre awareness. Furthermore, pedagogical implications are made regarding how discourse knowledge should be explicitly taught to all learners of English, given its importance.
An Investigation of the Reciprocal Internal/External Frame of Reference Model of Academic Self-concept and Academic Achievement Relations among Chinese Secondary School Students
Authors:   Center for Educational Research, Ling Tianye , Jang Hyungshim
Published: June 2023

The reciprocal internal/external frame of reference model (RI/EM) explains the complex relations between domain-specific academic self-concepts and academic achievements in two domains (e.g., math and Chinese). In the present study, we test the validity of RI/EM in a sample of mainland Chinese secondary students (N = 434) in Yunnan province using a three-wave longitudinal research design. Structural equation modeling analyses found that T1 academic achievements affected T2 academic self-concepts positively within the same domain but negatively across domains. Meanwhile, paths from T2 academic self-concepts to T3 academic achievements were also positive within the same domain. However, the cross-domain effects of T2 academic self-concepts on T3 academic achievements were inconsistent. Specifically, T2 mathematics self-concept negatively affected T3 Chinese achievement, but T2 Chinese self-concept did not negatively affect T3 mathematics achievement. Overall, these findings support the RI/EM assumptions, providing further evidence for the cross-cultural generality of the RI/EM. Implications are outlined for theory and practice.
Efficacy of Volume Stabilizing Collagen Matrix in Modified Pinhole Surgical Technique - A Case Report
Authors: Garapati Bhavana , Varghese Sheeja , Murugan Thamaraiselvan , Rajasekar Arvina
Published: June 2023

Gingival recession is one of the most popular periodontal diseases. Aesthetics and hypersensitivity are two major concerns
with recession. Although there are multiple treatment options, minimally invasive techniques have recently received much
attention due to better patient acceptance and pretty much identical outcomes/results when compared to traditional
standard treatment options. Here, we report a case of 34-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaint
of sensitivity to warm and cold in the left upper front tooth region. A 2mm hole was created and a full thickness flap was
elevated from the apical side of the tooth towards marginal gingiva, leaving the interdental papilla intact. After relieving
the gingiva from beneath, it was sutured to the tooth as an anchorage. Many allogenic materials have been used to replace
the space between the flap and bone underneath. The prognosis was fair for this procedure. However, the efficacy of a
Novel Volume stabilizing collagen matrix with a modified Pinhole technique is unknown. This report has shown promising
results for the treatment of Miller's Class I and II gingival recession.
Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Terephthalate from Olax Imbricata, Natural Substance or Artifact?
Authors: Nguyen Thi Bich Tram , Nguyen Linh Nham , Vo Thi Nga
Published: June 2023

The medicinal plant Olax imbricata is well-known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and diabetes-treating properties. It is essential to investigate the chemical composition and biological activity of Olax imbricata. During our investigation of this plant, a terephthalate derivative, bis(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate, was isolated from methanol extract using chromatographic techniques and elucidated using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Terephthalate's presence in Olax imbricata has raised concerns regarding whether or not it is a natural substance or an artifact. It is challenging to persuade others that bis(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate isolated from Olax imbricata is the biosynthetic compound produced by this medicinal plant. Sequestration of bis(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate from Olax imbricata may be the result of laboratory equipment, adsorbents, and solvents used during extraction or isolation. This finding cautions laboratory staff when using plastic utensils exposed to organic solvents. A sign identifying bis(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate is silica gel thin layer-chromatography performance eluting with n-hexane : ethyl acetate (96:4). A dark spot appears at Rf 0.46 under ultra-violet light at 254 nm or as a steel blue spot when stained with a solution containing  1% vanillin and 10% H2SO4 in ethanol.

“Limpieza social”: trabajadoras sexuales trans y conflicto armado en Colombia
Authors: González Ramos Daniela
Published: June 2023

Desde que inició el Proceso de Paz en Colombia, en el año 2012, se han generado avances importantes en términos investigativos sobre los impactos que el conflicto armado generó en personas LGBT. A pesar de esto, sigue existiendo un gran vacío en el reconocimiento de las violencias que se ejercieron, de manera diferenciada, sobre trabajadoras sexuales trans en espacios urbanos. Por este motivo, el presente artículo señala cómo la cisheteronorma sobre la que se ha construido la sociedad colombiana se constituyó como un escenario idóneo para que los actores armados desplegaran acciones de exterminio a través de prácticas como la llamada “limpieza social” hacia mujeres trans mientras, al interior de sus grupos, se generaban tensiones de deseo y desprecio hacia estos cuerpos. Asimismo, durante el texto se indaga por el lugar que han tenido las resistencias de las disidencias sexuales en los procesos de reparación y memoria histórica.
La felicidad es política : una aproximación a prácticas afectivas de la comunidad trans en Guatemala
Authors: Messina Maria Isabel
Published: June 2023

Este texto es una primera aproximación a los afectos de las mujeres trans en Guatemala como articuladores de agencia social y política. El artículo se construye a partir de una revisión de entrevistas e historias de vida de Stacy y Adriana, activistas y defensoras de los derechos de las mujeres trans en Guatemala, en diálogo con algunas reflexiones teóricas desde la mirada feminista al giro afectivo. Los afectos, las emociones y sentimientos, experimentados y narrados son recursos epistémicos a través de los cuales se hacen visibles tanto las opresiones y las violencias, así como la capacidad de subvertir la normatividad afectiva impuesta desde el orden cisheteropatriarcal dominante, que condiciona las identidades disidentes reclamando la felicidad como un horizonte político para la afirmación del ser.

Designing effective assistive technology (AT) requires knowledge of materials, design methodology, and user needs.Creating AT supporting daily tasks benefits from collaboration with Occupation Therapy, yet this is not a professionalnorm. To address AT design challenges and promote future professional collaboration, Thomas Jefferson Universitydeveloped an interprofessional education (IPE) co-design program for Occupational Therapy Doctoral (OTD) andMasters of Industrial Design (MSID) students. Using experiential learning modules, students co-create assistive devicesfor individuals living with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare genetic disorder causing progressiveimmobility. Students experience real-world contexts and collect ongoing data; FOP user-experts participate in thedesign process via standardized interviews and structured feedback recorded during device user-testing sessions.Here, we present our in-progress approach to creating evidence-based practice guidelines for future collaborationsbetween healthcare professionals and designers based on an IPE collaboration. This IPE program offers insight intohow to structure effective interdisciplinary programs and implement co-design methodology.
User-Oriented Definition of Smart Products: a "Body" Perspective
Authors: Zheng Yi
Published: June 2023

As more and more smart products appear in people's daily lives, designers begin to pay attention to smart product design. Industry and academia try to explain "what Smart Products are" in different fields. Although Smart Products are not a new term, there is no consensus on the definition of Smart Products. However, this is problematic for designers. Because the understanding of Smart Products directly affects how designers design smart products to bring users a better life. Smart products are quite different from previous products in terms of functions, interactions, and technologies. This not only affects designers but also poses challenges for users. This paper reviews the concept of Smart Products and Intelligence, constructs a user-oriented definition of smart products based upon the embodied cognition theory of cognitive science, proposes the characteristics of smart products, which provides designers with a new perspective for designing smart products.
(Re)storying Empathy in Design Thinking
Authors: Strickfaden Megan , Ruiz Adolfo , Thomas Joyce
Published: June 2023

Storytelling can be associated with temporality, memory, emotion, embodied ways of individually experiencing life, and social ways of collectively experiencing the world. Storytelling is also a kind of re-storying of human experience that has the potential to drive design solutions in very significant directions. We believe that storytelling has the potential to be a cornerstone towards breaking down assumptions about others and revealing beliefs and values about the people that designers call their users or audiences; and as such, storytelling can be significant to human-centred design processes and towards building empathy in design thinking. This paper highlights some of the central ideas around storytelling, re-storying and empathy from the fields of design studies, contemporary literature, psychology, and philosophy. This includes explorations into how designers invest time into storytelling and how this can lead towards deepening empathy and understanding of others’ circumstances. Our core assumption is that storytelling and re-storying are key ways to connect one person with another and to bring together groups of people through sharing and exploring details about individual experiences including intimate and emotional qualities of the human condition. Moving from our highlighted core concepts we put these to work through three projects created by authors and presented as case studies to better understand temporality, memory, emotion and embodiment, and to explore how empathy can be enacted. The three case studies are: a self-knowing activity called Embodied Maps; an activity that has been made into a short film called Evolving Lines; and an ethnographic film created to explore low vision and the urban environment called Light in the Borderlands. Each of these case studies are examples of different types of re-storying, woven together to shed light on and facilitate deep reflection and meaningful conversations about oneself and among people who carry distinct cultural knowledge and disparate lived experiences. Storytelling and re-storying in each of these case studies are developed through sustained and respectful dialogue over hours, weeks, and months as part of design inquiries leading to and facilitating meaning-making processes. This paper promises to illuminate how storytelling and re-storying can be used as a means to being a more empathic design thinker and move towards innovative design solutions that are more suitable, functional and, ultimately, valuable to people.

In order to solve the matching problem between the acquisition of modeling features during the cruise ship design process and the cognition of the cruise ship exterior styling imagery after the design is completed, and to assist the designer in making a reasonable selection of the design scheme through styling imagery evaluation, the research group of this paper proposes a cruise ship exterior styling imagery evaluation method based on Kansei Engineering (KE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The semantic vocabulary of the cruise ship exterior imagery is quantified and analyzed by using the methods of semantic difference (SD) and AHP, and the index system that affects the evaluation of the styling imagery is established. The weight of each evaluation index is calculated by constructing the judgment matrix, and the comprehensive ranking is carried out. Combined with the weights of the evaluation indexes of each level in the judgment matrix, the image fuzzy comprehensive evaluation matrix of cruise ship exterior styling is established to evaluate the four cruise ship exterior styling imagery design schemes designed by the members of the research group, and finally, the best image design scheme of cruise ship exterior styling is obtained. This method reduces the subjective factors in the evaluation process as much as possible and can provide an effective reference for the evaluation of the cruise ship exterior styling imagery design scheme.

Teamwork efficiency and safety are inextricably linked. The capability of having online insights and access to objective information regarding cognitive and emotional aspects of the team members using neurophysiological measures (brain activity, skin conductance, heart rate) will endow a tool which can support Instructors during the assessment and management of teams. Such neurophysiological measures can be seen as the physical interface that will enable for gathering insights about all the aspects relating to Human Factors (HFs) of the operators. The study aimed at developing and validating a methodology able to objectively measure the teamwork dynamics and efficiency. This objective has been performed in a real surgery-related context. A data-driven approach based on machine - learning (ML) and multivariate autoregressive (MVAR) models has been employed to develop the Neurometrics - based teamwork model. Such a model considered the co-variations both within each HF (e.g., Low vs High Stress) and between different HFs (e.g., Attention vs Workload) to consider their simultaneous coexistence. The results of this preliminary study demonstrated that it is possible to quantify the teamwork of operators while dealing with real tasks and endow additional information for a more accurate teams assessment and management.

Emotions, in the field of Neuropsychology, are a topic of contemporary relevance due to the impact they have on a person's development. At the brain level, emotions arise from the activation of brain circuits in response to stimuli. Treatments have focused on traditional psychological intervention, which today, thanks to technological advances, includes the use of technology, so it is necessary to have available material that has been validated and standardized in the area where it is to be used, which is the subject of this study. The validation of 16 affective images from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) set was carried out with the participation of 223 children between 6 and 8 years of age from a private, co-educational educational institution in Cuenca, Ecuador applying validation processes followed in other countries, adjusted to our context. The children's emotional responses were similar to those of the original test according to the statistical tests applied.
