The Relationship Between Education and Waithood: The Impact of Higher Education on Delayed Adulthood in China
Authors: Jiang Yujun
Published: October 2024

This research project is an in-depth quantitative case study that explains how higher education affects the notion of ‘waithood’. Waithood is defined as the state of waiting or the limbo that youth experience between adolescence and young adulthood, whereby they do not transition into young adults and are unable to attain usual markers of adulthood such as work, marriage, and financial independence. The study explores the impact of delayed employment and other aspects on young females in developing countries who join the workforce and other facets of adulthood immediately after acquiring their tertiary education. The survey is proposed to gather information on the subjects’ experiences, the number of years it takes to reach some stages of adulthood, and the factors that can hinder or enhance this process. To establish the correlations and trends in the effect of tertiary education on females, statistical approaches will be employed. This research reveals that support systems and policy reforms are seen as imperatives in higher education. These reforms have assisted young women in transitioning from educational institutions to the workforce and other aspects of life with less pressure while acquiring essential knowledge and skills. Policy recommendations include increasing learning options in order to develop flexible learning models, enhancing career services, and eradicating cultural barriers that affect the learning process.
The Japanese Anime One Piece Drives Chinese Teenagers to Engage in Cross-border Consumption of Its Anime Peripherals
Authors: Ye Peng
Published: October 2024

As One Piece has evolved into a global cultural phenomenon, particularly resonating with a strong fan base in China, it has become increasingly essential to delve into the underlying factors driving Chinese teenagers’ cross-border consumption. This exploration is particularly relevant within the broader context of globalization and the rapid growth of digital commerce. This study investigates the impact of the Japanese anime One Piece on the cross-border consumption behavior of Chinese teenagers, with a particular focus on their purchase of anime peripheral products. Through a combination of questionnaires and interviews, this study employs thematic analysis to decipher the potential factors driving this behavior. The findings suggest that Chinese adolescents are motivated to purchase One Piece by several factors, including the convenience and accessibility of international shopping, the allure of unique, rare, and collectible merchandise, and the symbolic status conferred by the high prices of cross-border products. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the cross-cultural consumption patterns prevalent among Chinese adolescents.

Published: October 2024

The mortality of pleural infections is substantial but is reduced by fast and correct diagnostic work-up and treatment which therefore should be initiated sub-acutely and evaluated frequently. More advanced treatment including intrapleural fibrinolytic therapy should be performed in departments specialized in pleural infections. Soon it will be clarified if initial thoracic surgery could be a superior treatment. In Denmark, this review finds, there is a need to focus on more swift sub-acute diagnostics and treatment initiation of pleural infection.
Perspectivas e limites da flexibilização do ônus da prova nos processos estruturais
Authors: Lunardon Toledo Thaís , Copi Lygia
Published: October 2024

O processo estrutural vem ganhando destaque no âmbito jurídico, seja nos próprios Tribunais como no diálogo acadêmico. A sua implementação compreende uma resposta à carência de um modelo procedimental que extrapole a fórmula do processo comum do clássico vencedor-vencido e que direcione a um efetivo resultado para problemas complexos e com múltiplos reflexos e partícipes, que demandam não só uma declaração do direito, mas uma real reestruturação, a qual usualmente perpassa pelas políticas públicas. A reestruturação objetivada pelo processo estrutural apresenta significativas diferenças frente ao processo comum, pois de fato não interessa a esse tipo de demanda apenas uma condenação da parte vencida, mas sim uma real solução de problemas que precisa ser executável na prática. A controvérsia analisada neste trabalho decorre do aprofundamento do estudo dessas distinções procedimentais, mas em especial quanto à instrução probatória e o regime de ônus da prova. Tal análise é importante porque as provas e a distribuição de seu ônus impactam diretamente na possibilidade de se chegar à uma solução de reestruturação viável. O objetivo, portanto, é entender quais as perspectivas e os limites da flexibilização do ônus da prova no processo estrutural. A partir da análise das características do processo estrutural e do estudo do regime do ônus da prova, é possível sugerir que não se mostra possível, pelas particularidades desse tipo de processo, que se defina previamente critérios generalistas para o regime do ônus probatório no processo estrutural, sendo imprescindível a análise casuística de cada litígio.

The Impact of ICT on Fostering Creativity in Business Education Pre-service Teachers: A Comprehensive Literature Review
Authors: Thaanyane Mamosa , Jita Thuthukile
Published: October 2024

Creativity is a global issue in higher education in the 21st century since it has shifted teaching and learning into learner-centered approaches meant for skills development. Studies show that 21st century skills foster creativity through technology and change how teaching can be approached in higher education. Since the workforce demands that students be able to apply their creativity, higher education must recognize its critical role in helping students get ready for it. Despite the benefits of creativity to students, literature shows that there is a profound gap between the knowledge and skills that students learn in higher education and the knowledge and skills they need in 21st century community and workplaces. Hence, this study explores the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on fostering creativity in Business Education pre-service teachers as well as suggests the strategies that could assist students to develop creative skills. The study followed the systematic literature review method PRISMA in selecting studies to be included and excluded in the synthesis of the study. The process commenced by identifying the problem and screening studies to include and exclude in the study. Only 30 studies conducted between 2013 and 2023 were screened for inclusion. Based on the literature and the two-tier model of creativity, it was identified that creativity empowers learning through interactive learning tools; can be used for personalized learning; can also be used for global collaboration; and cultivates innovative minds. The paper also suggests strategies that can effectively foster creativity, such as pedagogical training and support, professional development, mentorship programs, resource accessibility, an ICT-infused curriculum, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and technology-enhanced assessment.

Authors: Santos Pedro , Maillo Carmen , Valente Rui , Oliveira Gabriel
Published: October 2024

We present a case of shoshin beriberi with non-specific hyperamylasemia but on a different background of thiamine deficiency. Due to the fulminant of the clinical presentation and the lack of rapid diagnostic tests, shoshin beriberi remains under-diagnosed, particularly among non-alcoholic patients. The present report of presumed shoshin beriberi aims to highlight the emergence of additional causes of thiamine deficiency in the modern world, especially those resulting from esophagogastric surgery, which carries a substantial risk of malnutrition in the medium to long term. The timely administration of thiamine is generally safe and can result in rapid improvement, making it both a valuable therapeutic and diagnostic tool.

Published: October 2024

Background. Sports dance is characterized by a complex coordination, its most important components being, in our opinion: the segmental, general and multisegmental coordination; the capacity of kinesthetic differentiation; the static and dynamic coordination, the ability of spatio-temporal orientation; the ability to perceive and reproduce musical rhythm and tempo. Sports dance lessons are held in the University of Bucharest with students who opt for this discipline without having a prior selection. In sports dance, all the motor capacities are involved in different weights, but we proposed for this study to analyze from the perspective of the coordinative capacities, the spatio-temporal orientation. Objectives. The subjects in this study are students in the 1st and 2nd years, belonging to different faculties of the university and they were divided into the control and the experimental groups. Both groups worked to test a salsa choreography during the lessons. In the experimental group, the choreography was practiced facing points 1,3,5,7, and in the control group, the choreography was practiced facing point 1. The test was realized with reference to point 5. Methods. The working methods used are observation, testing method, statistical-mathematical and graphical interpretation method. Results. The results were significantly better in the experimental group compared to the control group. The subjects in the experimental group were able to orient themselves better in space and time in a percentage of 85% and in the control group the percentage was about 30% Conclusion. We believe that the orientation in space and time can be improved by simple means, prepared by the teacher in the sports discipline, the methodological work being implemented according to the groups.

Background. Motor activities are actions that involve the movement of the body and the use of the locomotor apparatus in order to fulfill the proposed tasks and objectives. These are important activities for the physical development of the individual and the health of the human body in general. Lately, more and more emphasis has been placed on devoting free time to activities of relaxation, entertainment, personal development, socializing, to restore the body after the pressure exerted by work tasks or other daily responsibilities. Motor activities can lead to the recovery of the required body, movement being a tool/means of relaxation, revitalization and optimization of physical condition. For females, involvement in sports activities has been limited by historical and social contexts. Introduced in Romania only three decades ago, women's football represents one of the team sports with multiple benefits, both physically and mentally, a fact for which it can be successfully classified in the category of free-time motor activities. Purpose. The aim of the paper is to highlight the importance of playing football by women as a leisure activity. Thus, the presentation highlights the physiological and psychological benefits of this sport on the female body. These aspects are discussed through the prism of my personal experience as a player in the Representative Football Team of the University of Bucharest. Rezults. Playing football, among other things, leads to the improvement of physical and mental resistance, resilience, tolerance and collaborative character, contributes to the hormonal balance of the body and the intensification of metabolic processes. At the same time, through the intense and complex demand on the body, women's football presents benefits on the cardio-respiratory system, reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Conclusion. From my experience as a player of women's football, both in my spare time and within the Representative Football Team of the University of Bucharest, we can conclude that this sport fits very well the physical needs of anyone who wants their free time to be used for health, relaxation and socializing.

Tennis equipment is one of the most important aspects of the game of tennis. Often, tennis equipment has a massive impact on how a tennis match plays out, or how the style of play evolves, even if it's less visible. Among the essential components of tennis equipment are the tennis balls and rackets. Complementing these elements is the playing surface, a critical determinant in the game of tennis. This paper aims to demonstrate the evolution of tennis equipment in the importance of quality tennis history over time and how advanced technology has or has not influenced the style of play and its speed. The discernible evolution of tennis balls, encompassing variations in size and materials, has significantly shaped the sport. Similarly, the modernization of racket design and strings, incorporating diverse materials–synthetic or natural–has ushered in a new era of heightened intensity in tennis, characterized by increased speed and power. In the same context, another key element is the playing surface, more precisely the four main surfaces, hard (or cement), clay, grass and carpet, which contributed to changing the game of tennis and its speed, stimulated by the importance of the materials used to create, or the way of maintenance of these surfaces. Finally, in this paper, we will see how tennis modernization had a great impact on the production of tennis balls and the evolution of the way rackets are made, to which is added the composition of materials used in the creation or maintenance of playing surfaces, have led to a marked transformation of the tennis game. It will also elucidate how these changes have often elicited both acclaim and discontent among professional tennis players and, in certain instances, contributed to injuries.

Authors:   DEFS, University of Bucharest, DELIU Robert
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to objectively measure and highlight laterality differences of high-performance martial arts athletes with hitting techniques and comparing the results registered by each subject. The hypothesis of this research is that through kinematic analysis on both fighting stances (dominant and non-dominant) we can highlight the differences in laterality for each subject. We used a system of inertial measurement units based on 17 motion tracking sensors composed of 3D gyroscopes, 3D accelerometers and 3D magnetometers namely the MVN Xsens Awinda system. We acquisitioned data from 8 high-performance athletes practicing martial arts with hitting techniques. We calculated and analyzed kinematic parameters for some of the most frequently used techniques in this category of martial arts, more specific direct and circular kicks. In order to obtain information related to the level of laterality of the monitored athletes, we compared the values of these parameters for the technical executions on the dominant and non-dominant side and highlighted the significant differences through the Wilcoxon Signed Rank nonparametric significance test. To facilitate comparisons between subjects in terms of laterality, we drew up an original evaluation scale and created diagrams based on the scores obtained by them. Based on these evaluations, directing and individualizing training and choosing combat tactics can be made much more informed.

Background: Women’s football is known to be played at professional level in a lot of countries. In Romania, women started playing football in unofficial matches in 1960, and only after 30 years, in 1990, the Women’s National Football Team was founded. Being a very competitive and accessible sport and taking account of his multiple benefits, women's football became more and more solicited by the students of the University of Bucharest. Objectives: Due to its importance and recent evolution and because we find it attractive, we decided to make women’s football the main subject of this presentation. Along with the theoretical part of this project, we administered a questionnaire to some former/actual women's football players in order to find out their personal perspective related to this sport. Purpose: Understanding the benefits that come along with this sport, how it has been promoted and how accessible they think it is to women. Moreover, we want to link the answers and experience of others, to our own experience in this wonderful sport. Methods: For our study we have asked 24 female subjects aged 13 to 22 years old, out of which 13 are professional players and 11 are amateurs. Our questionnaire is made up of 14 questions, which together highlight the personal perspective regarding the practice of women's football, from three different directions: benefits, promotion and accessibility. Results: In the past years, regardless the area we may refer to (professional, academic, amateur), a fast evolution can be noticed in all three main directions we have researched (benefits, promotion, accessibility). Our research shows that most of the players who have been encouraged by their family or friends to play football kept playing at a professional level. On the other hand, those that were not supported by their family, have lost their enthusiasm, and now they only play for fun or not at all. Conclusions: From a really long list of sports, we chose to play football in college because it is a big and important part of our lives even though we did not choose to do this professionally. Analyzing the answers from the questionnaire, we can conclude that players benefited a lot by playing football, most of them saying that their lifestyle has improved dramatically since they started practicing this sport.

Introduction: self-sustaining energy is in full force, since there are various problems caused by the excessive use of electric energy and it contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the mitigation of climate change.Objective: to characterize aspects related to self-sustaining energy as an alternative to power outages.Method: a review of the bibliography available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, from which a total of 12 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.Results: energy sustainability refers to the ability to meet energy needs. Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally renewed and that are virtually inexhaustible, self-sustaining energy can also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The problem of power outages is a global challenge for which self-sustaining energy is presented as a viable alternative. The self-sustaining energy system should be designed with a focus on resilience and security.Conclusions: the need for policies and programs that promote the adoption of self-sustaining energy and address the identified barriers is highlighted. Furthermore, it suggests that the successful implementation of these technologies could improve energy resilience and enhance the quality of life

Introduction: the increase in electricity demand on a global scale implies damage to the Earth's biodiversity. Several Latin American countries had a significant economic increase, which generated a greater demand for energyObjective: to characterize factors that influence the consumption of electric energy in refrigerators.Method: a review of the bibliography available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, from which a total of 10 related articles were consulted. Empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.Results: currently, the issue of energy use, especially in relation to household appliances. Refrigerators represent a significant part of electricity consumption in homes. One of the key factors that influence the energy consumption of refrigerators is ambient temperature. Overloading the refrigerator can also significantly affect its energy efficiency. The frequency of opening the door is also an important factor to consider. Preventive maintenance of a refrigerator is recommended to be performed at least once a year. Conclusions: the critical importance of energy efficiency, the importance of education and the promotion of sustainable practices to reduce electricity consumption are highlighted

Interpretación de la situación de "análoga relación de afectividad en la violencia de género"
Authors: Peramato Martín Teresa
Published: October 2024

Una de las cuestiones más debatidas desde la entrada en vigor de la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, de 28 de diciembre, de Medidas de Protección Integral contra la Violencia de Género fue y sigue siendo la interpretación que haya de darse a la "análoga relación de afectividad aun sin convivencia". Son, como veremos, muchas las resoluciones de los órganos judiciales en las que se ha abordado esta delicada cuestión y la posición que se sostenga al respecto provocará sus efectos no solo en la aplicación de los tipos penales que exigen la existencia, presente o pretérita, de una relación matrimonial o análoga de afectividad con o sin convivencia, sino también en la aplicación de las normas procesales de competencia. El problema se agrava cuando nos enfrentamos a determinados supuestos, como aquellos en los que la relación se ha establecido a través de las redes sociales, las denominadas "relaciones virtuales", y cuando en el hecho investigado son actos de carácter sexual cometidos sobre una mujer menor de dieciséis años por su pareja sentimental.
