Dealing with Arbitrator Challenge, Nondisclosure and Allegations of Bias: A Review of the Lagos Court Ruling Setting Aside the ICC Global Gas V. Shell Award
Authors: Sodipo Bankole
Published: July 2024

This case review debunks the view that Nigeria is not arbitrator friendly. It outlines party autonomy and the independence and impartiality of arbitrators. It analyses the court’s decision that an arbitrator whose appointment is challenged must recuse himself. It discusses misconduct in other areas of law in contrast with misconduct in arbitration. It considers whether non-disclosure of prior engagement as expert witness for or against one party, or the non-disclosure of membership of a professional/trade association constitute a misconduct. It considers whether the court took the proper approach in determining if the president of the arbitral panel acted for Shell, or against Shell. It examines whether a court can amend an arbitration contract and empower parties to seek court trial. It discusses the extent to which a court can set aside an award on the grounds of error of law. It concludes that the decision is erroneous and should be reversed on appeal.
Ad hoc Arbitration and Its Enemies – International Congress of Maritime Arbitrators (ICMA XXI), Rio de Janeiro, 9 March 2020
Authors: Clanchy James
Published: July 2024

This is an edited version of a paper delivered at the twenty-first International Congress of Maritime Arbitrators (ICMA XXI), held in Rio de Janeiro from 8 to 13 March 2020. ICMA was established in Moscow in 1972 by a group of maritime arbitrators from various jurisdictions, including the legendary Cedric Barclay, a former CIArb president. It brings together arbitral institutions, arbitrators’ associations, lawyers, and shipping professionals from around the world. This paper draws attention to ad hoc arbitration, still the most popular form of international commercial arbitration for the resolution of shipping disputes. English Commercial Court judges treat ad hoc as the norm but thought leaders in international arbitration, the legal press, universities, and national legislatures are increasingly dismissive and even hostile towards it. This was a call for solidarity in the international arbitration community to protect ad hoc arbitration and to promote dialogue and understanding.

Authors: Fitria Yuli , Luh Dian Putri Wahyuni
Published: July 2024

Perkembangan teknologi informasi yang pesat melahirkan masyarakat yang bersifat individualisme tidak terkecuali pada anak remaja. Komunikasi melalui media sosial dianggap lebih efektif dan menyenangkan. Namun aktivitas tersebut meskipun terlihat pasif dalam interaksi sosialnya padahal sebaliknya anak remaja aktif tidak terkendali dalam media sosialnya sehingga rentan akan paparan media. Sementara itu prevalensi angka kejadian perilaku bermasalah pada anak dan remaja akibat eksposur media dilaporkan meningkat akibat kurangnya pengawasan dan kontrol orang tua. Oleh karena perlu dilakukan strategi responsif bagi orang tua dalam menghadapi perilaku bermasalah anak akibat eksposur media. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian yaitu meningkatkan pengetahuan, pemahaman dan keterampilan sosial orang tua dalam menghadapi perilaku bermasalah. Peserta kegiatan ini kelompok orang tua tunggal yang tergabung dalam komunitas “Ibu Bisa”.

Published: July 2024

Infancy is an important period for growth and development. One of the factors causing problems in baby's weight is a lack of nutrient intake, which is often caused by babies having difficulty eating and choosing food. Tui Na massage is an alternative way to increase weight. The method in this research uses a pre-experimental research design type one group pretest-posttest. The sampling technique used purposive sampling technique. The sample used was 30 babies. Data analysis consists of univariate analysis, which is carried out based on the type of data, both categorical and numerical, and bivariate analysis using the t-test. The results of this study showed that before the Tui Na massage, all 30 babies aged 6-12 months had a fixed weight, that is, the weight after being given the Tui Na massage was that most of the babies gained weight, totaling 27 babies. This shows that there is an effect of Tui Na massage on body weight in babies aged 6-12 months with a p-value of 0.001.
A cross-sectional study of national drug procurement policy knowledge, attitudes, and practices among medical personnel in Yunnan Province
Authors: Zhou Siyan , Wang Qing , Yang Juanrong , Qin Dan , Yang Zaixian , Li Fan , Yang Jian
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study assesses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning the National Drug Procurement
Policy among medical personnel in Yunnan Province, focusing on their understanding, acceptance, and application of the policy.
Methods: A comprehensive survey involving 919 medical professionals across diverse healthcare settings in Yunnan was
conducted using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. It encompassed demographic information, knowledge of the
drug procurement policy, attitudes towards its implementation, and related practices. Analytical methods included descriptive
statistics, ANOVA, regression analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and KMeans clustering to discern patterns and key
influencers of policy perception and application.
Results: The survey demonstrated a significant gender imbalance (79.54% female) and a younger and middleaged majority
(35.58% aged 18-30, 54.84% aged 31-50). Most participants held higher educational qualifications, with 62.13% possessing a
Bachelor’s degree. Professional qualifications were found to significantly impact policy understanding. Variations in perceptions
of the policy’s implementation were significant across different professional roles, as indicated by ANOVA. Correlation analysis
revealed substantial links between policy understanding and aspects like ‘Agreement on Drug Consistency’ (r = 0.62) and
‘Reducing Medication Burden’ (r = 0.45). Regression analysis identified ‘Technical Qualification’ as a key determinant of policy
comprehension. Factor analysis unveiled critical dimensions influencing perceptions, including Policy Understanding & Education,
Operational Impact, Economic Implications, Drug Selection & Usage, and Industry Dynamics. PCA and KMeans clustering
exposed a wide spectrum of understanding and opinions among the medical staff.
Conclusion: The findings highlight notable gaps in understanding and implementing the National Drug Procurement Policy
among Yunnan’s medical personnel. This underlines the necessity for targeted educational and communication strategies,
advocating policy refinement to address the diverse needs of the healthcare workforce, thereby enhancing policy efficacy and
healthcare outcomes.

Possible factors influencing the development of the number of pharmacists in China: A time series VAR model analysis from the perspective of supply and demand theory
Authors: Guo Wei , Zhang Han , Lin Yanquan , Wu Gang , Li Wei , Zhang Peng , Tang Wan , Chen Hongdou
Published: July 2024

Objective: The supply and demand theory is used as a perspective to analyze the impact and prediction of factors such as
the number of consultations in medical institutions on the number of hospital pharmacists in China.
Methods: A total of 21 years of time-series data on the number of pharmacists, doctors and nurses in China’s hospitals, the
number of consultations, the per capita health cost and the per capita GDP were collected from 2002 to 2022, and a vector
auto-regressive model influencing the number of pharmacists in China was established to analyze the dynamic process of the
influence of the number of consultations, the per capita health cost and the per capita GDP on the number of pharmacists and
the direction of the influence in China.
Results: There is a unidirectional Granger causality and long-term cointegration relationship between the number of consultations
and the number of pharmacists, and the number of consultations will have a greater impact on the number of pharmacists in the
long run and will be more stable in the later period; there is also a unidirectional Granger causality and long-term cointegration
relationship between the per capita health cost and the number of pharmacists, and the per capita health cost will have a greater
impact on the number of pharmacists in the short run.
Conclusion: The rise in the number of pharmacists will occur along with increases in the number of visits, health costs per
capita, and GDP per capita, with health costs per capita having a greater impact on the number of pharmacists in the short
term, and visits and GDP per capita having a greater impact on the number of pharmacists in the long term and being more
stable in the later years.

A systematic literature review of quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS in China
Authors: Fan Liya , Tang Zhiliu , Jacob Ian , Chen Yi , Li Huanyu , Zhang Yu
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aims to systematically characterize the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people living with
HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in China.
Methods: The systematic literature searching was conducted from database establishment until June 28 2023 (PubMed,
Embase, ISPOR, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP Database), and health utility values were estimated using mapping algorithms.
Results: 11,290 literatures were screened, of which 290 met the eligibility criteria without PLWHA restriction and covered 18
different scales. Inclusion criterion: (1) Studies investigating Chinese PLWHA, (2) Studies that utilize multi-dimensional HRQoL
scales, (3) Sample size ≥100 participants, and exclusion criterion: (1) Studies not targeting on Chinese PLWHA, (2) Studies utilizing
unspecified or undefined scales, (3) Studies in which the scale scores for different domains were not reported, (4) Non-research
materials (editorials, correspondences, theses, etc., (5) Duplicate studies. Analysis was based on 179 studies with the most
frequently used top 3 scales, including the 36-item short form survey (SF-36) in 64 (22%) studies, World Health Organization
Quality of Life Questionnaire for HIV Brief Version (WHOQOL-HIV-BREF) in 58 (20%) studies, and medical outcomes study HIV
health survey (MOS-HIV) in 57 (20%) studies.
The 179 studies were published between 2007 and 2023. 13 studies started since 2020 after COVID-19 outbreak. 122
were non-interventional studies and 57 were prospective interventional controlled trials. 137 out of 159 studies where gender
information was available reported a higher proportion of male participants. Only 3 studies published before 2020 specified the
treatment regimens, all included in the National Free Antiretroviral Treatment Program (NFATP) and none was targeting integrase
strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI).
Across these 3 scales, non-interventional studies consistently indicated lower HRQoL in PLWHA compared to the general
population, while in prospective trials it indicated HRQoL improvements through interventions like nursing care, management
strategies and highly active antiretroviral therapy.
Median utility values estimated from the MOS-HIV were 0.81 and 0.78, respectively, based on two mapping algorithms.
Subgroup analyses indicated lower utility in AIDS patients compared to HIV-infected individuals, with differences ranging from
0.01 to 0.09 across various studies using different mapping algorithms. Both groups were associated with lower utility than
that in general population in China.
Conclusion: The overall HRQoL among Chinese PLWHA is worse than the that in general population, emphasizing the urgent
need for effective treatment strategies to improve the HRQoL for PLWHA.

Current practices of model validation in economic evaluation: A systematic review in neoplasms
Authors: Li Pingping , Zhao Min , Liu Xiangyu , Yan Hualing , Yang Zeying , Jiang Chen , Tian Yihe , Li Hongchao
Published: July 2024

Objective: Model validation is crucial for ensuring confidence in economic models, and guidelines emphasize the need for
researchers to validate the pharmacoeconomic models they construct. This systematic review summarizes current practices
and challenges in model validation for neoplasm economic evaluations, providing recommendations for improvement.
Methods: Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, we
searched PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and ScienceDirect for model-based economic evaluations published between 2021
and 2023. The studies were screened and extracted by two researchers independently. The frequency of each model validation
type was assessed, along with descriptions of specific practices, validation outcomes, and adjustments made based on the
validation results.
Results: Among the final 362 articles, 139 (38%) conducted model validation. External validation was the most commonly used
validation method (47%), calibrating the model and comparing simulated outcomes with real-world evidence. Face validation
(45%) relied on insights from clinical experts and economists. Internal validation (19%) employed tools such as the incremental
mixture importance sampling (IMIS) algorithm and TreeAge. Cross validation (9%) compared data from similar events, while
predictive validation (4%) used long-term follow-up data. Of the 39 studies (28%) that reported validation results, none of them
made any adjustments based on the validation outcomes. The Assessment of the Validation Status of Health-Economic decision
models (AdViSHE), a validation-assessment tool, was utilized in three studies for model validation. Additionally, 10% of economic
evaluations lacked clear validity, while 96% had one to three validity dimensions, and only 4% had four to five dimensions.
Conclusion: Most studies had limited and brief model validation practices without comprehensive descriptions. Researchers
are encouraged to employ multiple validation methods and provide detailed descriptions of their validation practices, results,
and adjustments. Active development and utilization of model evaluation tools should be promoted among scholars.

Exploring the application of health economics in clinical practice guidelines: A case study of breast cancer
Authors: Liu Yashi , Wang Zixuan , Lu Mei , Geng Liying , Peng Jing , Zhou Linjie , Li Hongchao
Published: July 2024

Objective: Besides safety and efficacy evidence, economic evidence is a crucial consideration in forming recommendations
for clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). However, the extent to which economic evidence is utilized in Chinese CPGs remains
unclear. Our study aims to systematically analyze the application of economic evidence in CPGs, providing insights for future
guideline formulation and updates.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted for relevant breast cancer CPGs published from 2017 to 2023, along with breast
cancer pharmacoeconomic evaluation literature from 2015 to 2017 in China. Using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research &
Evaluation Instrument II (AGREE II) to select the guideline with the highest quality score and analyze the alignment between the
recommendations in the guideline and the published pharmacoeconomic evaluation results.
Results: 30 breast cancer CPGs and 59 breast cancer pharmacoeconomic evaluation studies were included. The CSCO
guidelines received the highest quality score. Among the included pharmacoeconomic evaluation studies, 25 were mentioned
in the guideline recommendations, but economic evidence from 15 studies did not align with the guideline recommendations.
Conclusion: Currently, economic evidence is seldom considered in published breast cancer CPGs in China. In future guideline
formulation and updates, the involvement of health economists should be prioritized to enhance and guide the recommendations
in the guidelines.

Співвідношення державного регулювання та саморегулювання діяльності у сфері персоналізованої медицини
Authors: Россильна О. В.
Published: July 2024

У статті досліджено економіко-правову природу державного регулювання у галузі охорони здоров’я, а також механізми його поєднання з інструментами саморегулювання. Актуальність дослідження обумовлена стрімкими еволюційними процесами, які відбуваються у сфері охорони здоров’я, що, зокрема, спонукало також і розвиток персоналізованої медицини. Доведено, що найбільш виправданими умовами для розвитку ринку персоналізованої медицини є, з одного боку, встановлення державою правової рамки та умов функціонування ринку, а з іншого - можливості для професійних об’єднань самостійно розробляти, встановлювати та ухвалювати окремі правила та засоби регулювання діяльності. Метою статті є аналіз поточного стану законодавства України в контексті забезпечення оптимального рівня та механізму співвідношення державного регулювання та саморегулювання правовідносин щодо діяльності у сфері персоналізованої медицини. Досліджено нормативно-правові та практичні засади реалізації інституту саморегулювання в Європейському Союзі. Встановлено низку регуляторних викликів, перед якими стоїть напрямок персоналізованої медицини. Здійснено їх аналіз та запропоновано шляхи подолання та адаптації негативних факторів регуляторної політики, які впливають на становлення персоналізованої медицини з метою уникнення ситуації, при якій відбувається стримування ефективного функціонування відносно нового ринку продуктів та послуг у сфері персоналізованої медицини, а також розвитку інновацій, коли важіль державного регулювання значно переважає. Оптимальною методологічною основою дослідження служили як загальнонаукові, так і спеціальні методи наукового пізнання, зокрема: діалектичний, історичний, порівняльний, формально-логічного та системно-структурного аналізу тощо. Така методологічна система дозволила розпочати роботу над підготовкою пропозицій щодо формату поєднання засобів державного регулювання та саморегулювання діяльності суб’єктів персоналізованої медицини.
Процесуальне керівництво досудовим розслідуванням кримінальних правопорушень, вчинених у кіберпросторі або з його використанням
Authors: Кононенко М. П.
Published: July 2024

Актуальність даного дослідження полягає у тому, що в сучасних умовах важливо, щоб, розслідуючи кіберзлочини, можна було динамічно обмінюватися інформацією, щоб ефективність розслідування поліпшувалося завдяки тому, що існує активна співпраця прокурорів та органів досудового розслідування, яка допоможе встановити, хто є користувачами послуг зв‘язку, щоб зібрати інформацію про інформаційне поширення та інші технічні моменти, коли перевіряються заяви й повідомлення, які внесли в Єдиний реєстр досудового розслідування, аби були сформовані й застосовувалися спеціальні банки, де зберігаються електронні докази, а кримінальні провадження про кіберзлочини розслідувалися належним чином. Встановлено, що згідно з новим Кримінальним процесуальним кодексом України наглядову прокурорську функцію змінено на процесуальне керівництво, що означає необхідність прямо керувати розслідуванням будь-якого злочину, в тому числі й кіберзлочину. Метою дослідження є розкриття процесуального керівництва досудовим розслідуванням кримінальних правопорушень, вчинених у кіберпросторі або з його використанням. В процесі написання даної статті були використані такі методи: аналізу та синтезу, узагальнення, порівняльний метод та систематизації, системний метод, логічний, діалектичний, метод узагальнення. В результаті проведеного дослідження було зроблено висновок, що процесуальне керівництво досудовим розслідуванням кримінальних правопорушень, вчинених у кіберпросторі або з його використанням варто розглядати як діяльність прокурора, який провадить власні наглядові повноваження, завдяки чому органи, що на досудовому етапі розслідують ці правопорушення, виконують вимоги законодавства. Встановлено: лише за умови, що будуть застосовані: світова практика, вітчизняна законодавча база, наукова література, напрацювання практиків, органам прокуратури вдасться здійснити належне процесуальне керівництво за тим, як розслідуються кримінальні провадження відповідного виду злочинів на досудовому рівні.

De las voces fetichizadas al diálogo intergeneracional: desafíos de la investigación con niñes en América Latina
Authors: Szulc Andrea , Shabel Paülah
Published: July 2024

A investigação social sobre a infância desenvolveu-se vigorosamente nas últimas décadas na América Latina e registou progressos no reconhecimento, na visibilidade e na análise das formas como as crianças participam ativamente e dão sentido à vida social em cada um dos seus contextos. No entanto, “dar voz” às crianças tornou-se um imperativo que muitas vezes bloqueia a reflexão mais profunda sobre a complexidade que isso implica, produzindo uma fetichização que separa essas vozes dos seus contextos e das estruturas sociais de desigualdade em que se inserem. A seguir desdobraremos algumas chaves conceituais para aprofundar o debate sobre essas “vozes” a partir das contribuições da antropologia, epistemologia, feminismos, teorias decoloniais e queer/queer, que se unem em uma análise urgente diante do avanço das direitas regionais. Por fim, apresentaremos brevemente os artigos que compõem a seção temática.

Detection of adulteration of goat and sheep meat through NIRS and chemometric analysis
Authors: Hashem MA , Ambia J , Mia N , Ali MH , Rahman MM , Ali MS
Published: July 2024

This research aimed to assess the capability of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis in detecting adulteration in Goat and Sheep meat. A total of 16 samples were prepared, consisting of 2 pure samples and 14 adulterated samples. Spectra were collected using DLP® NIRscan™ Nano Software to detect adulteration. Partial least square and principal component regression models were developed for calibration and validation using The Unscrambler X software. The accuracy of the calibration models was assessed using root mean square error of calibration (RMSEc), root mean square error of cross-validation (RMSEcv), coefficient of calibration (R2c), and coefficient of cross-validation (R2cv). Typically, a regression model is considered excellent when R2 ≥ 0.90. For the PCR model, the predicted R2cv was 0.62, and for PLSR, it was 0.99 after leverage correction. Conversely, through cross-validation, the R2cv for the PCR model was 0.29, and for PLSR, it was 0.18. The results suggest that NIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis was reasonably efficient in detecting adulteration in goat meat with sheep meat.
Enlivening the Rhetoric of Family Nursing: "there, in the midst of things, his whole family listening"
Authors: Tapp Dianne M. , Moules Nancy J.
Published: July 2024

At the time that this study was conducted, family nursing practice in acute care hospital settings had received little attention in nursing research and theory. A hermeneutic inquiry explored nursing practices that involved families on three cardiac medical-surgical units in two hospitals in a large urban health care region in Canada. Data for the inquiry were generated through field observations with fifteen nurses and interviews with ten nurses. Nurses supported and enabled family presence in these units but demonstrated limited evidence of deliberate family assessment and intervention. Nurses espoused a familiar rhetoric that claimed that family nursing exists because of the inevitability of encounters with family members throughout daily work. Nurses wished to appear to include family members in their practice and emphasized the importance of family teaching. Still, nursesâ€™ ability to articulate the nature of this practice was limited. Family nursing rhetoric is explored as a potentially legitimate discourse that underlies current trends influencing nursing of families, particularly the impact of early discharge and increased reliance on family members to provide care at home during early recovery.
Translating God: Derrida, Ricoeur, Kearney
Authors: Purcell Lynn Sebastian
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the present essay is to defend two related notions. The more specific notion that I seek to defend is Richard Kearneyâ€™s conception of God as posse, of God as a possible God. His position has recently been criticized for three separate reasons: that it is not radical enough, that it is crypto-metaphysical, and that it forecloses the most profound aims of ethics. At a broader level what seems to be at stake is the opposition between partisans of radical finitude, those who hold that the most profound questions are encountered at the limits of thought, and an alternative â€œinfiniteâ€ conception that Kearney shares with Paul Ricoeur, which maintains that fidelity to unpredictable events opens the way to what is most profound about the human condition. In response I argue that the criticisms fail to hit their mark because they presuppose a broadly Derridian or post-modern position in order to make their argument, when it is just those presuppositions that are in question.

Dementia Discourse: From Imposed Suffering to Knowing Other-Wise
Authors: Mitchell Gail Joyce , Dupuis Sherry L , Kontos Pia
Published: July 2024

The authors revisit the troubling discourse surrounding the diagnosis of dementia. A critique of the predominant words and images in health care literature, public discourse, and policy is considered from multiple angles. The authors link the dominant words and images with a form of inter-relational violence. Contrary images grounded in research and experience offer a different view of what it is like to live with a diagnosis of dementiaâ€”a view that is life-affirming and based in relationality and possibility. Concepts of embodied selfhood and knowing other-wise are portrayed as doorways to transforming a discourse of violence toward a discourse of compassion and ethical relating.
My Father Was Not My Father: An Attempted Understanding Thorough a Ricoeurian Lens
Authors: Kostouros Patricia Anne
Published: July 2024

In my PhD studies I was honoured to have been introduced to the scholar Paul Ricoeur, whose work became central to my dissertation topic.Â  In this paper, I share the ways in which Ricoeurâ€™s conceptualizations of hermeneutic application to the human existence came to life for me.Â  I use an existential event, discovering non-biological parentage, to bring forth my understanding of these concepts.Â  Ricoeurâ€™s solicitation of the hermeneutic practice allowed me to see family events in a new light.Â  It is my hope through my application of Ricoeurâ€™s work that others will interpret existential life events in new and exciting ways.Â Keywords: narrative-identity, Ricoeur, self-understanding, temporality
The Case of the Disappearing/Appearing Slow Learner: An Interpretive Mystery
Authors: Williamson W. John , Field James Colin
Published: July 2024

This interpretive essay attempts to demonstrate the potential good that might come from approaching a hermeneutic phenomenological study as a hard-boiled detective story in the tradition of Raymond Chandler. The authors attempt to explain the hermeneutic warrants for such an adventureâ€”that is, for how and why a topic like the categorization and treatment of students in the public education system as â€œslow learnersâ€ might be approached as a detective story. The parallels between detective fiction, Chandlerâ€™s work as a noir novelist, and hermeneutics are drawn out. Attention is drawn to the ground of our interpretive relationship with the world in Heideggerâ€™s notion of the â€œas structureâ€ of interpretation. A case is made for seeing the hard-boiled detective story as a hermeneutic venue for shaking up commonsense understandings of how we have come to see and do education with those students designated as slow in their learning.

Practicing Palimpsest: Layering Stories and Disrupting Dominant Western Narratives in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Bjartveit Carolyn , Panayotidis E. Lisa
Published: July 2024

Interpreting and contextualizing the meanings of spoken, transcribed, visual and embodied languages, we explore how the life stories of immigrant educators evoke socio-cultural and diverse imaginaries. We incorporate the Greek practice of palimpsest - a layering of stories, voices, fragments, and traces - to understand forms of active becomings which provide possibilities for dissonance and transformation and treat the self as relational and inherently multiple. Critically reflecting on this stratum of narratives and cultural understandings, we draw on the insights of several theoreticiansÂ and scholars to consider how the language of immigration, trauma, and displacement emerge in educatorâ€™s thinking about the curriculum they are given. In transcribing stories - the participants and our own - we heard â€œlayered voicesâ€ (Aoki, 2005) that pointed us to different understandings about the immigrant experience, the connections between the self and other and what it means for immigrant educators and students to live together in ECE settings.

Re-storied by Beauty: On Self-Understanding in the Ricoeur-Carr Discussions on Narrative
Authors: Samuel Nathaniel G
Published: July 2024

This essay examines the issue of self-understanding, following Paul Ricoeur who characterizes it as one of the three dimensions of a literary work. The essay places the issue in the context of Ricoeurâ€™s discussions with David Carr on self-understanding or selfhood identity, demonstrating where the two theorists differ, but ultimately proposing how they complement each other to enrich the issue. I argue that the two converge at a significant point â€“ that selfhood-identity is mediated by a host of cultural artifacts, all experienced as narrative. I support this thesis by exploring the way in which the transcultural symbol of sharing a meal can mediate self-understanding, and occasion the narrative re-storying of a life. Attending to the character of General Loewenhielm in Isak Dinesenâ€™s (1993) Babetteâ€™s Feast, I describe the feast as an event of beauty, arguing how this worked to restore a sense of unity to the Generalâ€™s life.Keywords: Self-understanding, identity, narrative, Paul Ricoeur, David Carr, beauty, Babette's feast

Towards a Hermeneutics on Ageing: Or What Gadamer Can Teach Us About Growing Old.
Authors: Venturato Lorraine
Published: July 2024

Ageing is one of life’s most pervasive shared experiences, and one that is imbued with social, cultural and bio-medical meaning. This paper begins a conversation on what hermeneutics, and in particular, the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer, can add to contemporary understandings of ageing.
Right There, in the Midst of It: Impacts of the Therapeutic Relationship on Mental Health Nurses
Authors: Morck Angela C
Published: July 2024

Mental health nurses are frequently confronted by intense emotions within the therapeutic relationship. In this philosophical hermeneutic inquiry, five mental health nurses were interviewed to extend our understandings of how nurses are impacted by the interplay with the often emotion-laden narratives of their patients. Findings exposed the nurses journeyed between fluctuating needs to separate and protect their private from their work life. In order for this fluctuation to occur, they developed a sense of the world as requiring a sanctuary. This ontological place of home is the extent to which they felt safe and sheltered in order for this process of awareness of self as person and self as nurse to unfold. This research brings to the forefront the ways in which mental health nursing practice, education, and research are reciprocally moved by the practical day-to-day activities of being in therapeutic relationships.

Published: July 2024

‘Spoiler alert’: This editorial speaks to that of Dr. John Williamson that is published in this years issue. I have made some effort to avoid revealing too much of the “plot” but those of you who prefer to enjoy the mystery of the disappearing/appearing slow learner as it is intended to unfold are advised to read Williamson’s article before this one.
The Case of the Disappearing/Appearing Slow Learner: An Interpretive Mystery. Part Three: All Hell Could Break Loose
Authors: Williamson W. John
Published: July 2024

This follows the events described in Parts One and Two of this narrative. Max Hunter, a West Coast private detective, still conducting an investigation to find the educational category of slow learners, explores portrayals of slow learners in popular media, learns more about his client, John Williamson, and investigates the history of slow learner as an educational label, and the history of programming for slow learners in the province of Alberta. The case grows more dangerous with each clue Max unearths.
The Case of the Disappearing/Appearing Slow Learner: An Interpretive Mystery. Part Five: Time to Kill Time
Authors: Williamson W. John
Published: July 2024

These concluding chapters follow the events described in the previous four parts of this narrative. Max Hunter, a private detective remains on the trail of “slow learners,” a category of students his client, educator John Williamson, claims are continually getting “lost” in Alberta’s school system. As this section begins Hunter and Williamson are in a bowling alley where they hope to remain undetected as they investigate recent reforms to Alberta’s special education system. At the conclusion of Part Four the detective and client read a terse statement on Alberta education’s website declaring that Action on Inclusion, the ambitious reform project “no longer exists.” These chapters examine the termination of this project, other recent educational reforms in the province and their impact on students labelled as slow learners, additional bureaucratic discourses that are toxic to slow learners and diversity in general, and a fleeting glimpse of hope involving how “slow” might be more generously reclaimed from its current deficit-based discursive usages.
A Novel Cost-Effective Approach To Flow Visualization Using Particle Streak Angles
Authors: Raj Rishav , Thiruthummal Abhiram , Pothérat Alban
Published: July 2024

Comprehending the complexity of pipe flow dynamics is important for a variety of sectors, including environmental, industrial, and engineering research. Conventional techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) have long been the heart of these kinds of investigations, but they are often quite expensive and complex. Our research offers a novel, affordable visualization method that aims to transform the way we examine and interpret flow dynamics in response to these challenges. Our method is developed to utilize a low-cost camera system with a simple laser setup to investigate fluid dynamics inside pipes. By introducing particles into the flow and manipulating the camera shutter speed in real-time under the laser, we created streaks capable of displaying complex flow patterns. We gathered precise information about streak angles using rigorous image processing, providing clarity in our insights into the flow dynamics of the particulate pipe flow. Notably, our strategy eliminates the need for expensive and sophisticated equipment while providing researchers and practitioners with a simple yet reliable alternative. The potential for improving our knowledge of pipe flow dynamics is shown by preliminary studies that demonstrate how well it captures dynamic flow characteristics. Our technique, which is easy to use and effective, promises fresh insights into fluid dynamics and opens up new avenues for pipe flow analysis, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of users.
DETECTION OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE DETECTION THROUGH MACHINE LEARNING

A motor complication of Parkinson’s disease (PD), which is a neurodegenerative illness, includes speech difficulties. Since the management and treatment of this disease entails clinical and pharmacological intervention, early and precise identification of PD plays a critical role in medical knowledge. In this piece, the characteristics of the speech signal and potential machinery learning methods to diagnose Parkinson’s illness are discussed. In line with standard protocols, voice signals were elicited from the participants, which comprised PD and a mere control group. From these signals, many characteristics from the spectral, temporal, and cepstral were extracted. To locate the characteristics that can provide the most informative features for the classification, feature selection methods were applied. A support vector machine (SVM) was next used to classify PD in the healthy control participants using the selected features. Key Words: Parkinson’s disease, machine learning, support vector machine, UCI machine learning repository, deep learning, confusion matrix.
Immunostimulant effect of dates (Phoenix dactylifera) on humoral and cellular immunity cells and their functions

Published: July 2024

The study aimed to assess the immunomodulatory effects of Phoenix dactylifera (dates) fruit, a traditional remedy used by Moroccans to enhance immunity against pathogens. This research sought to evaluate the impacts of this fruit on immune cells and their functions. To achieve this, we conducted tests using date extracts on splenocytes, thymocytes, and macrophages, focusing on their functions: antibody production, phagocytosis, and T-lymphocyte toxicity. The results obtained demonstrated that the aqueous extract of P. dactylifera fruit exhibited significant immunostimulatory effects on humoral immunity. It achieved this by enhancing complement activity and increasing splenocyte (including B-lymphocytes) proliferation by 142.5% compared to control cells. Similarly, in the same conditions, there was notable stimulation of cellular immunity through thymocyte activity, resulting in a remarkable increase in cell proliferation (225%) and a boost in thymocyte function (245.9%), which plays a role in safeguarding against cancer. Moreover, the date extract demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties. This was evident in the increased phagocytosis activity mediated by macrophages under the ethyl acetate extract, effectively eliminating pathogens. Assessing the cosmetic potential of date extracts showed that the ethyl acetate extract possesses both anti-inflammatory and strong antioxidant effects, exhibited high photo absorption of ultraviolet-B rays. Based on these findings, we propose to study the utilization of this extract for sun protection as a sunscreen. Furthermore, the Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that the most active compounds present were flavonoids. These outcomes substantiate the traditional usage of this fruit for reinforcing immunity.
