One Health, Global Health e Planetary Health
Authors: Romizi Roberto , Gianotti Claudio , Stocco Alice
Published: December 2024

Over the past two decades, the ecological approach to health has emphasized the interconnectedness between human health, biodiversity, ecosystem integrity, and socioeconomic conditions. As these systems are deeply interlinked, social and environmental justice must be considered interdependent, since crises in one area have the potential to impact other areas, particularly threatening vulnerable populations due to the feedback loop between poverty, social fragility, and environmental degradation. An interdisciplinary approach is essential for addressing these complex issues and should be prioritized in policy decisions. While the One Health approach advocates for collaboration across disciplines to achieve optimal health for people, animals, and the environment, it needs updating to address new challenges posed by climate change and global threats. The Planetary Health paradigm offers a more comprehensive framework by emphasizing the interdependence of human and ecological health and advocating for multiand transdisciplinary research and action. Healthcare professionals play a vital role in promoting such an approach, especially in advancing sustainability and ecosystem health. We suggest they should advocate for healthy, low-impact behaviors and support rapid decarbonization and the reduction of the environmental footprint of healthcare facilities, according to the principle of "Health in all policies". Only by fostering an interdisciplinary approach and emphasizing the need to care for Nature can we better understand and address the complexity of the interconnections between environmental, social, and health systems. A holistic approach and a team-focused perspective are crucial for tackling current crises, preventing future pandemics, promoting sustainable development, and ensuring the well-being of all life forms on Earth.
Temporalities of emergency: the experiences of Indigenous women with traumatic brain injury from violence waiting for healthcare and service support in Australia
Authors: Fitts Michelle , Soldatić Karen
Published: December 2024

Globally, traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been recognised as a serious health issue not only because of the immediate impacts at the time the injury occurs but even more so due to the longstanding impacts. Even though TBI is a globally recognised condition, the research is disproportionately focused on its incidence in, and immediate and long-term effects on men. A growing body of research suggests that generally, women who experience family violence are at high risk of TBI and suffer its impacts in ways that reflect gendered differences in the patterns and frequency of violence. In Australia, the social and physical costs of TBI are multiplied for Indigenous women, whose experience of disability and access to healthcare lies at the intersection of gender and race in the historical context of settler colonialism. The present study addresses the need for research into the sociodemographic inequalities that affect access to culturally appropriate hospital care, timely response systems, and flexible, safe and engaged social services. This paper draws on data from interviews and focus groups with Indigenous women, hospital staff and community-based service providers and suggests potential pathways for further research in settler-colonial settings elsewhere in the world.
Innovative Approaches to Community-Based Housing for Precarious Migrants and Refugees: A Policy Report
Authors: Collrin Bridget , Dreher Nick
Published: December 2024

[para. 1]: "In 2023, Toronto’s Shelter, Support and Housing Administration reported a 440 per cent increase in refugee claimants in the shelter system since 2021 (City of Toronto 2023). In Canadian cities like Toronto, demanding conditions for rental applications and structural barriers negatively affect the ability of refugee claimants to secure housing. These challenges, plus limited financial resources, social networks, cultural familiarity, and official language familiarity, place refugee claimants at particular risk of homelessness (Kissoon 2010; Sherrell, D’Addario, and Hiebert 2007). Austerity and state withdrawal from housing provision has led to similar housing crises in other cities in North America (Ngueita 2020), Europe (Meet et al. 2021), Latin America (Magliano and Perissinotti 2020), and Africa (Paller 2015). In response, local non-profits and community-based housing organizations (CBHOs) have assumed greater responsibility in supporting unhoused refugees. However, a critical knowledge gap exists in understanding how these community-based practices of hospitality provide holistic alternatives to accommodation for precarious migrants."
Intellectual Disability and Complex Intersections: Marginalisation under the National Disability Insurance Scheme
Authors: Soldatić Karen , Van Toorn Georgia , Dowse Leanne , Muir Kristy
Published: December 2024

This paper questions whether Australia's new disability support regime, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), can meet its aims for people with disabilities who also experience complex social disadvantage, using the examples of people with intellectual disabilities from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those who cycle in and out of the criminal justice system. The paper undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed eligibility requirements under the NDIS and assesses the risks of marginalisation in the proposed approach for people with intellectual disabilities who also experience other complex individual and social disadvantage, and begins to ask, “Will the NDIS meet its aims if it does not address these complexities?” The analysis suggests that under the draft rules for eligibility the onus is on individuals to prove their eligibility for supports funded by the NDIS on a case-by-case basis and, moreover, to prove that receiving such support will reduce their future dependence on the system. This raises a number of issues for those whose experience of disability is tied to complex and intractable social disadvantage, and raises questions about the NDIS's ability to meet its aims in relation to rights, choice, and control. The paper demonstrates the ways in which people with disabilities who are already at risk of disengagement from support systems and social exclusion risk further marginalisation in the context of an NDIS, as it currently appears to have little capacity to recognise and respond to their complex need for disability social support.
Surviving the Assault? The Australian Disability Movement and the Neoliberal Workfare State
Authors: Soldatić Karen , Chapman Anne
Published: December 2024

This article provides an analysis of the key areas of struggle for the Australian disability movement during the Howard years of government. After providing a brief overview of the Australian disability movement and its historical development, we then move to situate the struggles of the Australian disability movement within the broader context of welfare to work, one of the central tenets of neoliberal social policy restructuring. From here, three sites of struggle emerge that have been central to the Australian disability movement's struggles for representation, recognition and redistribution and principally include state restructuring of disability open labour market supports, state legitimation of disability sheltered workshops and, finally, the pensioner-categorization of disability within social security law and policy.
The three Ds of welfare reform: disability, disgust and deservingness
Authors: Soldatić Karen , Pini Barbara
Published: December 2024

Public policy discourses on disability frequently reference emotions such as shame or pity to describe the lived experience of disabled people. While sociological research within the emotional realm is re-emerging as a growing area of interest, little work appears to have explored the relationship of emotions in articulating notions of deservingness that are a significant part of public policy discourses on disability. This is curious, considering that normative conceptions of deservingness have been integral to the legislative process that seeks to either elaborate or constrain the rights of disabled people. Drawing on the Howard government's workfirst welfare reform agenda as a case study, this article explores the role of ‘disgust’ in constraining disabled people's rights. In particular, we suggest that the politics of disgust was drawn upon by the Howard government to shift public notions of justice, from rights to deserving.

The level of financial literacy among vocational school students is often low, with a lack of understanding of financial concepts which can affect the ability to manage personal finances and face financial challenges in the future. This service aims to increase the financial literacy of vocational school students, with a focus on wise budget management habits. Specific objectives include increasing students' understanding of financial literacy, increasing financial awareness, and encouraging the application of financial literacy concepts in everyday life. Community service activities were carried out at the Kefamenanu Catholic Vocational School, involving 25 students. Community service activities are carried out through training, workshops and financial simulations. Material covers the basics of money management, budget planning, investing, and personal financial planning. Evaluation is carried out through direct feedback from participants using questionnaires, observation of student participation, and group reflection sessions. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in vocational school students' understanding of financial literacy after participating in the activity. As many as 85% of students stated that their understanding of the material had increased, and 90% were satisfied with the method of delivering the activities. Additionally, 75% of students expressed the hope of applying financial literacy concepts in everyday life. These results provide a positive picture of the success of the activity and the potential for future improvements, including technology integration and the addition of more in-depth material.

Sistem ini akan memanfaatkan pemantauan proses dekomposisi secara real-time melalui pembacaan sensor dan secara otomatis mengirim data ke server untuk ditampilkan. Data yang diperoleh dari semua sensor akan ditampilkan menggunakan antarmuka pengguna berbasis web dan memberi tahu pengguna untuk mengambil tindakan jika diperlukan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa sistem dengan sistem multisensor dapat mengakuisisi data dengan baik dan pemantauan real-time dari proses penguraian dapat dipantau secara komprehensif.
Warming Up the Bulldozers
Authors: Mitchell Don
Published: December 2024

The United States Supreme Court majority’s decision in the 2024 case, Grants Pass v. Johnson, is an object lesson in cruelty.  Its main directive – that cities are now free to punish homeless people simply because they are homeless – has been enthusiastically received by official across urban America.  The United States war on homeless people has entered a new phase.  This paper examines the trail of precedents leading to Grants Pass, the tortured reasoning of the majority’s decision, and the stinging dissent by Associate Justice Sonya Sotomayor, to better understand the ways in which deadly cruelty is made legal.  The paper then examines the decision in light of recent developments in justice theory among political philosophers to reveal how what is under construction in the USA is nothing less than maximally unjust cities.

This paper aims to compile the hadiths that Hasan al-Saqqaf criticized in Sahih al-Bukhari on the grounds of historical inaccuracies. An analytical study is then conducted on the criticisms directed at these hadiths. The researcher uses a qualitative research method, specifically the documentary analysis method, by tracking Hasan al-Saqqaf's works, particularly from his Facebook page, and gathering two hadiths that were examined under the claim of historical inaccuracies. One of the key findings of the researcher is that Hasan al-Saqqaf's criticism of these two hadiths did not align with the methodology of hadith criticism in relation to history, according to the researcher's analysis, due to several reasons, the most significant being errors in handling historical sources.
Kedudukan Penggunaan Hadis Ahad Mengikut Perspektif al-Bukhari dan al-Syafie
Authors: Mohamad Zani Mohamad Qamarulzaman Bin , Abdul Halim Amran , Abdul Rahman Azman
Published: December 2024

The issue of using hadith al-ahad as a legal basis in Islamic jurisprudence has generated diverse opinions among scholars. In Islamic legal studies, hadith al-ahad is understood as a source of evidence that is of a speculative (zhanni) nature, rather than definitive (qat'ie), which leads to differences of opinion regarding its legal authority, particularly in discussions related to fiqh and aqidah. While fiqh discussions are often exposed to issues of divergence, differing viewpoints in jurisprudence sometimes provide flexibility for the Muslim community. This study focuses on the differing perspectives on the use of hadith al-ahad by al-Bukhari and al-Shafi'i, exploring their positions within the contexts of fiqh and aqidah debates. The research employs a qualitative methodology, reviewing relevant books and research articles, using an analytical approach to filter, examine, and explain the findings. The study concludes that there is a difference in opinion between al-Bukhari and al-Shafi'i; al-Bukhari recognizes the use of hadith al-ahad comprehensively in both aqidah and fiqh issues, whereas al-Shafi'i limits its use to fiqh discussions, although a minority opinion suggests that he also acknowledges hadith al-ahad as a valid source in matters of aqidah.
Analisis Kesilapan Terjemahan Hadis dan Cadangan Penambahbaikan: Satu Tinjauan Awal
Authors: Abu Bakar Ahmad Izzuddin
Published: December 2024

The hadith of the Prophet is the second source of Islam after the Quran. For non-Arabs to understand this source at the initial stage, it needs to be translated. One of them is into the Malay language which is spoken by almost 300 million people in the Southeast Asian region. However, there are concerns about the validity of the translation. This is based on the fact that any error in the meaning of the hadith can lead to a distorted interpretation. This article will review the errors found in translation that are available on the internet. The research method used is a qualitative approach based on text analysis. There are three types of errors that will affect the meaning of the hadith. First: important words are not translated or omitted, thus eliminating the main meaning of the hadith. Second: translations that change most of the meaning of the verse. And third: translations that can trigger various probabilities of situations.
Prophetic Guidance on Debt Incurrence (Al-Istiqrāḍ) in Al-Ṣaḥīḥayn
Authors: Abdullah Nurul Aqilah binti , Marzuki Zunaidah binti Mohd
Published: December 2024

Debt is sometimes viewed unfavourably in religious contexts, primarily due to the cautions, admonitions, and potential repercussions that accompany it.  However, historical records reveal that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Companions engaged in debt transactions under certain circumstances. This study aims to explore Prophetic guidance on managing debt incurrence (al-Istiqrāḍ), drawing from authentic Hadith sources, primarily Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim. Through a content analysis of these hadith collections, this research identifies and examines thematic analysis related to debt incurrence and proposes four guiding principles observed in Prophetic debt practices: the permissibility of credit transactions, the allowance of borrowing from non-Muslims, the provision of collateral as a guarantee for repayment, and a general discouragement of debt incurrence. These principles, grounded in Prophetic tradition, offer a nuanced perspective on debt, suggesting both ethical guidelines and practical considerations for financial transactions within an Islamic framework.
Pervaporation Membrane Development via PSf/PMMA/PDMS Polymeric Blends and ZSM-5/TiO2 Integration for Bioethanol Purification as Sustainable Green Energy
Authors: Kusworo Tutuk Djoko , Budiyono Budiyono , Utomo Dani Puji , Seng Kevin Setiadi , Hanif Muhammad Itsar
Published: December 2024

This study introduces a novel nanocomposite membrane designed for pervaporation (PV) by employing polymer blending, inorganic integration, and polymer coating techniques. ZSM-5 or TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized and incorporated into a polysulfone (PSf) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix, followed by a coating of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to enhance perm-selectivity. Comprehensive analyses confirmed the well-dispersed nature of the nanoparticles and a significant increase in hydrophilicity. The research systematically examined the effects of particle loading, PDMS coating, and temperature on the separation efficiency. The findings revealed that the PDMS-coated PSf/PMMA/ZSM-5 membrane with a 2 wt.% loading demonstrated a substantial 41% increase in permeate flux and achieved a separation factor of 61.227 ± 1.92 at 40 °C. These improvements are attributed to the establishment of water channels and the molecular sieving effect introduced by the ZSM-5 incorporation. This study suggests that the developed membrane offers promising enhancements for ethanol recovery through pervaporation, showcasing the potential of nanocomposite membranes in improving separation efficiency and selectivity.

Authors:   Neuroscience, Institute of Psychopathology, Rome, Italy, Filippis Rocco de , Foysal Abdullah Al ,   Computer Engineering (AI), University of Genova, Italy
Published: December 2024

Background
Bipolar disorder (BD) is characterized by recurrent episodes of mania and depression, requiring long-term mood
stabilization. While lithium is a well-established treatment for BD, its efficacy can vary among individuals. Combination
therapy with valproate has been explored to enhance treatment outcomes.
Objective
This case series aims to demonstrate the superior effectiveness of lithium and valproate combination therapy over lithium
monotherapy in stabilizing mood in patients with bipolar disorder.
Methods
This retrospective study includes data from 2 patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Patients initially treated with lithium
monotherapy who showed inadequate response were subsequently treated with a combination of lithium and valproate.
Clinical assessments were conducted using the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), Clinical Global Impression-Severity
(CGI-S), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) before and after
combination therapy.
Results
Combination therapy with lithium and valproate significantly improved mood stability in patients compared to lithium
monotherapy. On average, MDQ scores decreased from 22.4 to 8.3, CGI-S scores improved from 4.8 to 2.1, HDRS scores
reduced from 25.6 to 9.7, and GAF scores increased from 50.3 to 75.4. These improvements were sustained over a followup period of 12 months.
The combination of lithium and valproate provides superior mood stabilization in patients with bipolar disorder compared
to lithium alone. These findings suggest that combination therapy should be considered in patients who do not achieve
adequate symptom control with lithium monotherapy

The development of technology will eventually lead to industry transformation. By studying the relevant contents of the optimization algorithm and its application cases, the present study aims to provide future architectural design practice methods and create more possibilities. This paper sorts the optimization algorithms development and the historical evolution of its application in architectural design. Simultaneously, the algorithm-based generative design platform and its corresponding plug-in have been generalized. Based on the analysis of two specific cases, this paper proposes the concept and process of building designs driven by an optimization algorithm. Under the background of transforming architectural practice towards “digitalization”in the new century, the general process of building generative designs driven by the optimization algorithm is summarized from different perspectives. These include the selection of design platform, determination of optimization goals for different design stages, and iterative process of algorithm optimization. Then, the development prospects of the optimization algorithm and its potential impact on architects are discussed.
An Inquiry into the Preservation and Renewal of Historic District, Grounded Within the Theoretical Framework of Catalyst Theory ——With a Case Study of Panxi Restaurant
Authors: Liu Yaqi , Guo Qian , XIAO Lei
Published: December 2024

The philosophical approach to urban design in China has been converted from new-built to re-built. Historic districts are hence leading to a heightened appreciation and delicate handling. WU Liangyong, a prominent Chinese academician, has concluded that plans for historic districts should be implemented with gradualness and carefulness, forming the cornerstone of the Organic Renewal Theory. On the other hand, the Catalysts Theory, an urban design theory originated from the progress of American reconstruction, offers an elastic design framework for our ongoing research. From this line of works, the Organic Renewal Theory could be advised in at least two lenses: its systematic perspective and its practical feasibility. Furthermore, the Catalyst Theory could introduce a potential for a chain reaction, facilitating the progress while safeguarding the integrity of authentic lifestyle. To illustrate how the Catalyst Theory guides practical application, this article examines an ongoing project in Guangzhou as a case study, showcasing its implementation and establishing a framework adaptable to the designs of nearby neighborhoods.

Published: December 2024

This article explores the development of epistemic skills through transcultural collaborations among students and professors from eight universities across continents. The study emphasizes the importance of dialogue in enhancing critical thinking and epistemic fluency in global contexts. By engaging students in discussions on global migration and epistemic justice, the research highlights the role of dialogic participation in fostering inclusivity and understanding diverse epistemologies. The projects "Epistemic (In)justice" and "Epistemologies of Inclusion across Continents and Cultures" revealed the potential of digital technology to facilitate meaningful intercultural exchanges while also underscoring the need for epistemic fluency to navigate complex global issues. The findings suggest that educational institutions must prioritize the cultivation of both hard and soft skills to prepare students for active, informed participation in a globalized world.

Published: December 2024

This investigation seeks to identify the success factors of Latin-American Fair Trade projects through a systematic literature review with the Kitchenham and Charters method. Through a data extraction and its evaluation from selected literature, to the online libraries Scopus, Web of Science, Redalyc, Springer Link and Science Direct in the range from 2018 to 2023 it determines that the success factors are government support, production increase, capacity building and skills promotion, and international market outreach. It also identifies that these factors depend on complementary factors related with the capacity of producers and workers to implement these Fair Trade certifications and practices in their production, mainly in agriculture. These factors benefit community-based projects from vulnerable groups in rural areas while correlating to exports and Fair-Trade principles. Meaning, certification is not compulsory, so its principles can be implemented in a variety projects, generating a series of benefits and limitations for their development.

Introduction: The Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS) is commonly used by health professionals in Italy in several different translations. This study aimed to provide a validated version in Italian. The main focus is on the evaluator, to guarantee a uniform application and interpretation of the statements and scoring for each item in the Italian context.
Methods: A standardized protocol was used for the translation and cross-cultural adaptation. A pilot study conducted using the first draft of the scale led to a revised version, PASS-IT. A principal component analysis (PCA) was performed. The correlation with the Trunk Control Test (TCT) was examined for concurrent validity. In addition, the relationship with the Barthel Index (BI) and the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC) was tested. Patients with recent stroke were tested for intra-rater (N = 49) and inter-rater agreement (N = 30). Cronbach’s alpha, item-to-total correlation, corrected inter-item correlation, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and measurement error were used to evaluate internal consistency and intra-/inter-rater reliability.
Results: The PCA showed a two-dimensional structure, with high reliability in both subsections (“non-weight-bearing” α = 0.865; “weight-bearing” α = 0.949). A strong correlation (ρ > 0.80) was found with the TCT, the BI, and the FAC. The PASS-IT showed high internal consistency, intra-rater (ICC = 0.942) and inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.940).
Conclusions: The PASS-IT is a recommended scale, suitable for clinical practice and research in the acute and subacute stage. The introduction of operating instructions resulted in the uniform application. A different order of the items allows faster administration, reducing changes of posture.

O café é uma das commodities mais valiosas do mundo, com uma cadeia de produção que gera milhares de empregos e é fundamental para a economia de muitos países. A produção de mudas de café é um processo essencial para garantir o sucesso da lavoura, visando uma implantação bem feita, com mudas de qualidade. O objetivo do presente estudo é avaliar os efeitos dos níveis de sombreamento com diferentes cores de sombrite na produção de mudas de café arábica. A pesquisa foi realizada a campo na cidade de Poço Fundo - MG, onde as mudas foram cultivadas sob diferentes cores de sombrite, (preto, vermelho, azul e cinza), com níveis de sombreamento de 50% e 75%. Foram avaliados os parâmetros biométricos, como altura das plantas, diâmetro do caule, área foliar, massa seca e fresca, número de pares de folhas, números de nós, índice SPAD e teores de clorofila e carotenoides. O teste realizado no trabalho foi a análise de variância (ANOVA), seguida pelo teste de Scott-Knott para comparar as médias dos tratamentos. Os resultados demonstraram que as mudas de café arábica cultivadas sob Sombrite Vermelho 75% apresentaram os melhores índices de crescimento, com destaque para altura e diâmetro do caule, em comparação às mudas cultivadas sob outras condições de sombreamento e ao pleno sol. Após 60 dias, as mudas sob esta condição ainda mostraram maiores biomassa e teores superiores de clorofila. Em contrapartida, as plantas expostas ao pleno sol e à Sombrite Preto 75% apresentaram crescimento inferior e menor acúmulo em biomassa.

Published: December 2024

A odontologia forense atua na análise de marcas de mordida em casos de violência infantil com o intuito de realizar a identificação dos agressores. O objetivo desse estudo é detalhar os aspectos dessa violência, as características das marcas de mordida e as estratégias aplicáveis à prática odontológica para identificar vítimas de violência infantil. A metodologia adotada foi uma revisão integrativa, que abrangeu artigos publicados entre 1980 e 2023 nas bases de dados LiLACS, SciELO e PubMed, com foco em publicações em português e inglês. As principais dificuldades encontradas incluem as distorções nos tecidos moles e a ausência de padronização na análise das marcas, problemas que têm potencial para serem atenuados pelo uso de técnicas digitais, como digitalização 3D e prototipagem rápida. Essas tecnologias melhoram a precisão na documentação das características das marcas de mordida, permitindo uma avaliação mais detalhada e confiável. A formação contínua dos profissionais é enfatizada como essencial para assegurar a eficácia da odontologia forense na identificação de agressores e na proteção de crianças situação de violência, contribuindo de maneira significativa para a justiça.
