Validation of the Machine Learning–Based Stroke Impact Scale With a Cross-Cultural Sample
Authors: Lee Shih-Chieh , Chou Chia-Yeh , Chen Po-Ting , Wu Tzu-Yi , Hsueh I-Ping , Hsieh Ching-Lin
Published: January 2024

Importance: The machine learning–based Stroke Impact Scale (ML–SIS) is an efficient short-form measure that uses 28 items to provide domain scores comparable to those of the original 59-item Stroke Impact Scale–Third Edition (SIS 3.0). However, its utility is largely unknown because it has not been cross-validated with an independent sample.

Objective: To examine the ML–SIS’s comparability and test–retest reliability with that of the original SIS 3.0 in an independent sample of people with stroke.

Design: Comparability was examined with the coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error, and root-mean-square error (RMSE). Test–retest reliability was examined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

Setting: Five hospitals in Taiwan.

Participants: Data of 263 persons with stroke were extracted from a previous study; 144 completed repeated assessments after a 2-wk interval.

Results: High R2 (.87–.95) and low mean absolute error or RMSE (about 2.4 and 3.3) of the domain scores, except for the Emotion scores (R2 = .08), supported the comparability of the two measures. Similar ICC values (.39–.87 vs. .46–.87) were found between the two measures, suggesting that the ML–SIS is as reliable as the SIS 3.0.

Conclusions and Relevance: The ML–SIS provides scores mostly identical to those of the original measure, with similar test–retest reliability, except for the Emotion domain. Thus, it is a promising alternative that can be used to lessen the burden of routine assessments and provide scores comparable to those of the original SIS 3.0.

Plain-Language Summary: The machine learning–based Stroke Impact Scale (ML–SIS) is as reliable as the original Stroke Impact Scale–Third Edition, except for the Emotion domain. Thus, the ML–SIS can be used to improve the efficiency of clinical assessments and also relieve the burden on people with stroke who are completing the assessments.
Being and Becoming in the Classroom
Authors: Roth Wolff-Mich
Published: January 2024

Highlights the current chasm between teacher education theories (praxeologies) and the actual experience of teaching (praxis). Many traditional teacher education programs emphasize teaching based on reflection and deliberation; yet, when a new teacher is in a unique situation, there is not always time to step back and look at it objectively. Through Roth's extensive experience as a teacher, he has learned that a teacher must live in the heat of the moment, but also develop room to maneuver in the moment. These skills come only by actually being in the classroom, working at the elbow of experienced teachers and discussing the events of the day with other teachers.

Roth develops his theory by introducing the previously ignored element of temporality in teaching. When there is no time out for reflection, a teacher must develop on-the-spot decision-making skills. In part one, he presents the ideas of being-in the classroom with students and being-with other teachers. Other concepts that emerge are habitus (perceptions and expectations that lead to action), Spielraum (room to maneuver in situations), and relationality (knowing how to act without reflection, based on student-teacher rapport). In part two, Roth asserts that when novice teachers coteach and engage in subsequent cogenerative dialoguing with seasoned professionals, they are in the process of becoming in the classroom. Teachers, college students majoring in education, and professors will all benefit immensely from this book.
Cyprus
Authors: Borowiec Andrew
Published: January 2024

Borowiec portrays Cyprus as a permanent source of tension in the Eastern Mediterranean and a potential trigger for future conflict between Greece and Turkey. He describes the depth of animosity between Greek and Turkish Cypriots and analyzes the obstacles in the path of a search for a solution.

Most casual observers see the conflict between Greeks and Turks on a strategic Mediterranean island as a struggle within a sovereign state. Borowiec concludes that there has never been a Cypriot nation, only Greeks and Turks living in Cyprus, separated by the hostility reflecting the traditional animosity between their motherlands. If these two groups could forget their past conflicts—as did, for example, Germany and Poland—there might be a way to end the partition of Cyprus. At the present time, however, the crisis is likely to continue with varying degrees of tension, threatening the entire Eastern Mediterranean and undermining NATO's cohesion.

Borowiec traces the history of Cyprus from antiquity through Ottoman and British colonial rule and the post-independence period. He describes the break between the island's communities in 1963, the UN intervention of 1964, and the path toward the Athens junta's coup in 1974 which caused the Turkish invasion and occupation of the northern part of Cyprus. He compares the conflicting views of the protagonists—the Greek Cypriot majority and the Turkish Cypriot minority. Considerable attention is paid to the two separate economic and political entities on the island. Borowiec analyzes the futility of myriad international mediation efforts and suggests possible ways of creating a climate propitious to dialogue. This important new look at the Cypriot conflict will be valuable to researchers, policy makers, and scholars involved with the Eastern Mediterranean and conflict/peace studies.
Daily Lives of Civilians in Wartime Latin America
Authors: Santoni Pedro
Published: January 2024

The countries of Latin America have suffered through numerous foreign interventions and domestic wars in the nearly two centuries that have followed its independence. These conflicts have also given rise to mass mobilizations of middle-class professionals, women, peasants, urban workers, and Indians, who sought to carve out a more active public role in the new states that emerged from these struggles. In some cases, elites and their military allies violently repressed the newly emerging forces. Recent research has begun to place greater emphasis on the lives of common people and the interventions they had on the larger events of the day. Eight chapters written by different scholars show the the importance of the actions of civilians in wars in Latin America.

Chapters describing civilians' roles and lives through wars in Latin America are supplemented by recommended print and online resources for further study, a glossary defining important terms and concepts, and a timeline putting events into a chronological context.
Globalizing Practices and University Responses
Authors: Currie Jan , Deangelis Richard , deBoer Harry , Huisman Jeroen , Lacotte Claude
Published: January 2024

Investigates the impact that certain globalizing practices have on European and American universities. Due to dwindling resources and the ideology of privatization, universities are becoming more corporatized and managerial. The authors investigate the consequences of these changes on the lives of academics and analyze how globalizing practices such as managerialism, accountability, and employment flexibility penetrate different universities.

Globalization is a contested term. It exists in the form of an integrated world economy and global communication networks. Along with this material world, politicians have created a neoliberal ideology that exhorts nation states to open up their economies to free trade, reduce their public sector, and allow market forces to reshape their public agencies. In effect, this means a reduced role for government, lower taxes, and diminishing funds for public institutions like universities. The underlying thesis of this book is that globalization is not an inexorable force. All nations need to debate its consequences. The authors analyze how globalizing practices are penetrating universities. Are they creating a certain uniformity? Are academics adapting to or resisting particular globalizing practices?

The premise at the beginning of the study was that European universities were responding differently to globalizing practices than Anglo-American universities. This premise was confirmed as some universities saw certain globalizing practices as inevitable and other universities resisted them. The authors asked academics and key managers how their funding had changed, and which accountability mechanisms their universities adopted. They also investigated the use of the Internet in their teaching. They found differences between European and American universities in their approach to permanent employment. The French and Norwegian universities were maintaining many of their traditional values and only the Dutch university showed some movement towards the globalizing practices, which American universities were more readily adopting.
Leadership and the Culture of Trust
Authors: Fairholm Gilbert W.
Published: January 2024

Leadership is not something one does alone. It is an expression of collective, community action--unified action of leaders and followers who trust enough to jointly achieve mutual goals. The task of creating a culture conducive to interactive trust is perhaps the preeminent leadership task. This practical guide identifies the key elements leaders need to manipulate to create such a trust culture in any work environment. By learning to shape culture to meet changing needs--by learning to be continually responsive to the organization's vision as well as to the needs of a changing follower core--the leader can create the situation necessary for any successful organization, one where followers can trust others and feel free to work together to gain mutually desired goals.

Authors: Levy Amir
Published: January 2024

Organizational Transformation is the first book to analyze how organizations make it through difficult periods. Based on case studies drawn from a variety of industries, such as mental hospitals, schools, manufacturing companies, and the American Wildlife Society, this book offers practical advice on development strategies for managers and organization consultants. The book is divided into four sections, the first of which describes in detail the different approaches that have been developed to transform organizations. The second section describes and compares some of the basic strategies used in transforming organizations. The third provides the reader with a variety of theories and research on the topic, and the final section conceptualizes and integrates these theories.
Scholarly feminists
Authors: Clisby Suzanne , Espinosa Adelina Sánchez
Published: January 2024

In this article we reflect on our longstanding work within a powerful European network of feminist scholars. Here we consider how we have collaboratively created and sustained embodied infrastructures of care in building feminist academic scholarship, supporting the next generations of feminist scholars into the academy, and working through creative praxis to generate feminist and queer activism within and beyond academic spaces. We argue that our gendered bodies, identities and material actions have built embodied infrastructures that have facilitated feminist access to higher education and career development and advanced gender equalities discourse beyond the academy through our creative activist networks.
As in trans art
Authors: Hayward Eva , Hettinga Lieks , Quinan C.L.
Published: January 2024

This article engages with trans artistic practices: both trans in art as well as trans as art. It takes as its point of departure the artistic work of Ro Robertson, Tama Sharman, and Erica Rutherford, each of whom works with trans in different ways. In our analysis, we take a cue from Rosemarie Buikema’s attunement to the materiality and medium specificity of artworks, and we discuss how these elements offer new entry points into a consideration of transness.
Nogmaals kijken naar de pijn van anderen, of: de uitdaging van ‘wij’
Authors: Plate Liedeke
Published: January 2024

This essay takes its point of departure in images of the victims of the 2023 Turkish-Syrian earthquake. It examines their rhetoric, comparing them to those of Alan Kurdi, the Syrian toddler who washed ashore on a Turkish beach in 2015, and contrasting with the narrative techniques employed by two contemporary novels. It combines cultural critique with an inquiry into the role of art as an agent of change to imagine new ways of doing citizenship and promoting social change in times of crisis, in line with Rosemarie Buikema’s mission to develop new and multilayered scenarios for change and transnational justice.
Spazzacamini en Savoyaards
Authors: Wesseling Lies
Published: January 2024

This article engages in genealogical inquiry into Zwarte Piet (Black Pete), to gain deeper insight into the multiple semantic layers of this cultural icon. I argue that the ‘roetpiet’ (soot Pete) or chimney sweep is rooted in at least as solid an iconological tradition as that of the Moorish child slave. I infer some suggestions for non-offensive Sinterklaas celebrations from this historical excursion. While Zwarte Piet in his Moorish guise is indeed a flawed and racist trace of colonial slavery, his chimney sweep connotations may actually be of value to the cultural remembrance of the by now largely forgotten history of child labour that was so crucial to the early industrialization in Europe, and often still is to economies in the Global South.
Beautiful Luxembourg, Steel Works and a Swimming Pool
Authors: Plein Ira
Published: January 2024

Before the sovereignty of the financial sector, the steel company ARBED (founded 1911) was considered the genuine backbone of the Luxembourg economy and was perceived as a company of “national identity.” This chapter argues that ARBED’s corporate image was strongly shaped through the 1921 corporate film Columeta. Carefully designed for a modular use to be presented to different audiences, the film compiled the right motifs at the right time in order to communicate the company’s claim of national and societal importance, making Columeta a stepping stone for integrating industrial motifs into the national iconography. The chapter will outline the circulation and interaction of corporate, national and social motifs in different media, and their subsequent inclusion into the national Luxembourgian self-presentation.
Cinema and Industrial Design
Authors: Wasson Haidee
Published: January 2024

This chapter documents and examines the use of portable film projectors at the New York World’s Fair, 1939–1940, and its surprising range of industrial display practices, including government, public relations and advertising films shown in big and small temporary theatres, and other applications like the use of film projectors to direct pedestrian traffic and to create multimedial and “immersive” experiences and events. The fair is seen as a culmination of decades of industrial film use, multimedial exhibition and display for advertising strategies, while the role of industrial designers and their interest in film is highlighted. The importance of contextualizing “industrial film” within technologies, practices and aesthetics, especially in the fields of industrial design, exhibition and architecture, will be demonstrated.
Putting Films to Work
Authors: Waller Gregory A.
Published: January 2024

Focusing on the 1910s, this chapter examines the role of motion pictures for American retailers and manufacturers, as seen from the perspective of the period’s most prominent business publication, System, the Magazine for Business. Published in Chicago by the A.B. Shaw Company, System paid attention to the managerial practices of the commercial film industry but more often surveyed and promoted the manifold utility of motion pictures for the purposes of sales, public relations, and advertising, as well as for training and overseeing employees. According to System, key to the successful use of film by business was both the availability of portable 35 mm projectors and new strategies for creating and distributing sponsored business films for theatrical exhibition.
Change for Games: On Sustainable Design Patterns for the (Digital) Future
Authors: Chang Alenda Y.
Published: January 2024

The United Nations Environment Programme launched the Playing for the Planet (P4TP) initiative in the fall of 2019, closely followed by the International Game Developers Association’s (IGDA) Climate Special Interest Group (SIG) in the fall of 2020. While the P4TP alliance has focused on company-level interventions, the IGDA Climate SIG has worked in a more grassroots fashion to develop both game and design-patterns databases. These parallel efforts invite important philosophical and practical questions. What are sustainable games? Are they the same thing as sustainably developed games? Are they games with overt environmental messaging, or ones whose production or consumption carbon footprints have been minimized? Or, most radically, are they the games we refuse to play?
‘Have You Ever Heard a Worm Sing?’: The Spectral Ecology of Kentucky Route Zero, Act V
Authors: Youngblood Jordan
Published: January 2024

This chapter places the episodic adventure game Kentucky Route Zero in conversation with ecological theorist Timothy Morton’s ideas of spectral ecology, with a particular focus on how the game habitually ruptures the boundaries between human and nonhuman. I argue Kentucky Route Zero presents an environment marked by a mingled coexistence of ghosts, animals, humans, and trash; it is what Morton deems a ‘perforated world,’ one where the definition of humankind comes into question and new deanthropocentric modes of living emerge. Kentucky Route Zero is not a puzzle but a space to be witnessed. It offers a lingering image of a home with open walls: a space of unbounded play with what it means to be human.
Hiding (in) the Tall Grass: Rethinking Background Assets in Video Game Plantscapes
Authors: Seller Merlin
Published: January 2024

This chapter explores the significance of ‘grass’ assets, bringing critical plant studies and the Anglo-American lawn’s cultural historiography to textual analysis of ludic backdrops. While Alenda Chang critiques the functionally inert plants of predominantly visual video game environments, this risks reinforcing the treatment of plants in purely instrumental ‘functional’ terms and repeating what Michael Marder identifies as Western marginalization of flora’s rooted, headless alterity, and reifying narrow anthropocentric values of agency and centrality. Indeed, passivity is key to video games, and game studies regrettably marginalize visuality. I propose that questionably ‘visual’ and ‘inert’ background assets (exemplified by grass) offer rich and underexamined terrain for analysis wherein the ‘plantscapes’ dwarfing humanity might challenge disciplinary understanding of agency/interactivity and foreground/background.
What Do We (NDNs) Do with Games?
Authors: Clapper Jordan
Published: January 2024

This chapter examines how Indigenous video game development presents opportunities for metaludic engagement with just and sustainable futures. Indigenous games can critique the very systems they are built upon, from ludic to environmental, as they offer alternatives to Western imaginaries, medial histories, and naturecultures. These digital landscapes and game spaces draw from the various media that have contributed to their construction. Indigenous game development must draw from self-reflective and identificatory processes while incorporating cultural elements and critiques individual to that developer’s land-based connection. The design and execution of these games can resist dominant cultural imaginaries in both form and theme as they call player-designers to critique what makes a game a game and what makes an environment an environment.
Stone Inscriptions on Mt. Tai and Contemporary Folk Pilgrimage: A Speculation on “Yinbei”
1
Authors: Tao 葉濤 YE , Chao Shin-yi
Published: January 2024

Taishan, or Mt. Tai, has been one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in China. Many pilgrims have commissioned inscriptions carved on slabs and stelae on the mountain to commemorate their journeys. Meanwhile, the mountain also holds a firm place in the Chinese imagination of the underworld.

This essay first offers a survey of historical stone inscriptions preserved on Mt. Tai. It then focuses on one Qing-dynasty stele that contains an incomprehensible phrase, le fu yin bei 勒夫陰碑, especially yinbei, as in the title. Next, the article presents a fieldwork account of a ritual called song yinbei 送陰碑 (“sending phantom stele”) at the pilgrimage to the temple of Zongsi dadi (the Great Emperor in Charge of All). The Great Emperor, according to local beliefs, governs the underworld. The temple is located in Zhuyang, Tai’an county, adjacent to Mt. Tai. The ritual of song yinbei is carried out at the annual temple fair to present mock stelae made of paper and golden foil to express gratitude and make wishes.

Based on interviews and geo-historical analysis, it is likely that the four characters, le fu yin bei found on the Qing stele, refers to the practice of song yinbei that originated in Zhuyang town. Ethnographic studies can help historians to interpretate historical texts.
The Discovery of Early Cinema
Authors: Schlüpmann Heide
Published: January 2024

This chapter reviews the study of early cinema in the 1980s, focusing on the significance of the rediscovery of early cinema for feminist film historiography and theory. The fact that women participated in every branch of early cinema while at the same time being denied a public voice brought the silence of film to the centre of feminist considerations; for those who were not allowed to speak in public, like women, and who lacked voice—for them, film, which relied on gestural rather than spoken language, offered equal opportunities to interact with what was happening on screen as it did for the dignified bourgeois male sitting next to them in the cinema. By rediscovering and imagining early silent cinema as a preparatory stage for a radically altered public sphere, emancipatory movements and a developing film scholarship were equally equipped with the means to critique the dominant “media public sphere.”
Future Pasts within the Dynamics of the Digital Present
Authors: Heller Franziska
Published: January 2024

Nowadays, digital media frame how we experience our physical “presence” and the temporal category of “the present.” At the same time it seems that it has never been easier to access the “past” of moving images: This comprises the films but also film historic knowledge about restorations, etc. This chapter sheds a light on the experiential historiographic effects. A first case study discusses the representation of film restorations on the internet. It demonstrates “comparative vision” to be a pivotal element within the context of an aisthetic historiography which operates in digital dispositifs. The term “dispositif ” reflects the institutional structures as well as digital spatial arrangements that establish “the politics of time”: A public debate in 2020 serves as a second case study. The politics of time turn into methodological questions that emerge when working with digitized historic material. The spatiotemporal dynamics point towards the necessity of a performative notion of film history.
Hope in something: An earthly tragedy in five acts
Authors: Castán Broto Vanesa
Published: January 2024

This chapter explores the generative potential of the unexpected and the experimental in bringing about transformational change. By reflecting on works of art, personal experiences and scientific literature on climate action and adaptation, Castán Broto brings to the fore the tensions between hope and the compulsion to act, between sense of responsibility and paralysis in the Anthropocene, between disruption and innovation. The demands for rapid changes at scale, while justified in their urgency, risk to lead to dilemmas concerning energy transitions and the issue of who will have to pay for such disruptions. Therefore, an alternative form of reading the crises should move away from a paranoid one toward building a reparative ethos. Castán Broto concludes by proposing reparative climate action.
A user manual for just cities?
Authors: Khawarzad Aurash
Published: January 2024

User manuals have changed the nature of knowledge production and the material production of goods and services for many industries and professions. Could a user manual do the same for urban planning and development? In his exploratory chapter, Khawarzad offers an answer to this question by placing the idea of a user manual in the context of radical pedagogy and collaborative urbanism. By extending the concept of do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism and the right to repair the city, this chapter walks the talk in suggesting concrete tools, research methods, meeting practices, deliverables, implementation tips and strategies for tactical urbanism to take back the power and place it in people’s hands to remake the city not as a side project but as an integral part of our everyday lives.
No es suficiente aceptar más alumnos si deseamos mejorar la inclusión de la discapacidad en el aula universitaria
Authors: Jaramillo Benhumea Efraín , Valdés Medina Filiberto Enrique , Martínez Ávila Minerva
Published: January 2024

El presente trabajo se centra en comprender el panorama del comportamiento de la inclusión de la discapacidad en el aula universitaria de una IES. El estudio considera como ventana de tiempo la desde el año 2007 al 2022 analizando como variables la matrícula de nuevo ingreso, la cantidad de alumnos con discapacidad, las modalidades de estudio y las carreras ofertadas. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo y exploratorio. El trabajo se fundamenta en análisis estadístico. Entre los resultados más relevantes encontrados es un crecimiento promedio en la matrícula los últimos 10 años, generación de una nueva carrera profesional, creación de una nueva modalidad de estudio mixta, así mismo se detectó un crecimiento en la cantidad de alumnos con discapacidad, pero no se refleja el uso de técnicas o herramientas de enseñanza enfocadas a los alumnos con discapacidad finalmente, tampoco se observa capacitación relevante dirigida a los docentes en relación con el tema. Esta combinación de comportamientos en las variables lejos de predecir un futuro sano y alentador en favor de la inclusión de la discapacidad en el aula universitaria expone un panorama poco alentador.
El trabajo en las comunidades residenciales cubanas desde una perspectiva de igualdad de género
Authors: Ricardo Ochoa Elena , Pino Sera Yamilka , Romero Pupo Lidia María
Published: January 2024

En el artículo las autoras se aproximan al trabajo en las comunidades residenciales cubanas, desde una perspectiva de igualdad de género. Sin negar los logros obtenidos en Cuba en lo referido al trabajo en comunidades y en la búsqueda de mayores grados de igualdad social, el análisis recae en algunas de las principales problemáticas comunitarias, que demandan especial atención, y solución,  por parte de todos los que de una manera u otra laboran para mejorar las condiciones y la calidad de vida de hombres y mujeres en las comunidades, especialmente las que presentan acentuados rasgos de vulnerabilidad social. En dichas problemáticas se entrelazan aspectos interrelacionados como son, color de la piel, grupo etario, origen territorial, tipo de barrio de residencia, tipo de familia y situación socioeconómica, entre otros elementos. Todo ello en un contexto interno y externo complejo, que dificulta la solución de problemáticas que influyen en la reproducción de desigualdades sociales y de género a nivel de la sociedad cubana y  a nivel regional y de comunidad local.  Las reflexiones que se presentan verifican y amplían los resultados de otros estudios sobre el tema, realizados en la sociedad cubana, y resultan del estudio de la literatura y de la interpretación de los resultados de un estudio empírico en una comunidad residencial, sin perder de vista las interrelaciones macro-meso y micro sociales.
Nitrous oxide as second most important greenhouse gas in tropical peatlands

Abstract. Earth’s climate largely depends on carbon and nitrogen exchange between the atmosphere and tropical peatland ecosystems. Permanently wet peatlands take up carbon dioxide in plants and accumulate organic carbon in soil but release methane. Man-made drainage releases carbon dioxide from peat soils. Carbon and nitrous gas exchange and their relationships with tropical peatland conditions are poorly understood. We analysed natural peat swamp forests and fens, moderately drained and dry peatlands under a wide variety of land uses. The tropical peat swamp forests were large greenhouse gas sinks while tropical peatlands under moderate and low soil moisture levels emitted carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide. Carbon dioxide uptake of 160 mg m–2 h–1 dominated the net greenhouse gas budgets overall, while nitrous oxide emission of 90 mg CO2-equivalent m–2 h–1 on average was the second most important contributor (ahead of average methane emissions of 36 mg CO2-equivalent m–2 h–1) across the whole tropical peat moisture range.
Multifractal structure and Gutenberg-Richter parameter associated with volcanic emissions of high energy in Colima, México (years 2013–2015)
Authors: Monterrubio-Velasco Marisol , Lana Xavier , Arámbula-Mendoza Raúl
Published: January 2024

Abstract. The evolution of multifractal structures in physical processes, for instance, climatology, seismology or volcanology, contributes to detecting changes in the corresponding phenomena. The evolution of the multifractal structure of volcanic emissions of low, moderate, and high energy (Colima, México years 2013–2015) contributes to this research to detect quite evident signs of the immediacy of possible dangerous emissions of high energy close to 8.0x108 J. These signs are manifested by the evolution of six multifractal parameters: the central Hölder exponent (α0), the maximum and minimum Hölder exponents (αmax, αmin) the multifractal amplitude (W= αmax-αmin), the multifractal asymmetry (γ = [αmax-α0]/[α0-αmin]) and the complexity index, CI, which is defined as the addition of normalised values of α0, W and γ. The results of the adapted Gutenberg-Richter seismic law to volcanic emissions of energy, as well as the corresponding skewness and standard deviation of the volcanic emission data, also contribute to confirming the results obtained using multifractal analysis. The obtained results, based on multifractal structure, adaptation of Gutenberg-Richter law to volcanic emissions, and basic statistical parameters, could be assumed as relevant to prevent a forthcoming volcanic episode of high energy, which could be additionally quantified by an appropriate forecasting algorithm.

هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على أثر ثقافة المنظمة في مستوى تبادل الموارد المعرفية (بناء المعرفة) لدى العاملين في البنوك التجارية السعودية. وتنبع أهمية الدراسة كونها واحدة من الدراسات المحلية القليلة التي تبحث في أثر ثقافة المنظمة في مستوى تبادل الموارد المعرفية لدى العاملين في البنوك التجارية السعودية بالمملكة العربية السعودية. اعتمدت الدراسة على المنهج الوصفي التحليلي وتم تجميع البيانات الأولية من خلال استمارة استبيان، تم تصميمها لهذا الغرض. وتكون مجتمع الدراسة من العاملين في 6 بنوك تم اختيارها على أساس أنها الأكبر حجماً والأقدم عمراً. وقام الباحثان بتوزيع استمارة الاستبيان على عينة عشوائية من العاملين بالبنوك محل البحث، وبلغ عدد الاستمارات الموزعة 600 استبانة، حيث تم استرجاع 530 استبانة، استبعد منها 45 لعدم صلاحيتها، وبذلك تم تحليل 485 استبانة وهي تمثل (81%) تقريباً من مجموع عينة الدراسة ومن ثم جرى تحليلها بمجموعة من الأساليب الإحصائية باستخدام برنامج (SPSS). أظهر تحليل البيانات عن تأثير كل بُعد من أبعاد الثقافة التنظيمية (الثقة، الثقافة الجماعية، الرؤية المشتركة، اللغة والقصص المشتركة، ممارسات الإدارة، والمعايير الثقافية) على مستوى تبادل الموارد المعرفية (بناء المعرفة) لدى العاملين. كما كشفت الدراسة أيضاً وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية في مستوى تبادل الموارد المعرفية بين العاملين تبعاً للمؤهل العلمي والعمر، وعدم وجود فروق في مستوى تبادل الموارد المعرفية بين العاملين تبعاً للمستوى الوظيفي وسنوات الخدمة. وفي النهاية تم تقديم مجموعة من التوصيات تهدف أساساً إلى إعادة النظر في الثقافة التنظيمية السائدة في البنوك التجارية السعودية من أجل تدعيم وتعزيز بناء المعرفة بين العاملين بصورة أفضل.
التناص في ديوان (عندما يئن العفاف) لعبد الرحمن العشماوي
Authors:   باحث دكتوراه تخصص اللغة العربية (الأدب والبلاغة والنقد)، جامعة الملك فيصل، المملكة العربية السعودية, الغامدي مسفر
Published: January 2024

يسعى هذا البحث إلى دراسة ظاهر التناص في ديوان "عندما يئن العفاف" للشاعر السعودي عبد الرحمن بن صالح العشماوي، وذلك من خلال التمهيد وفصلين، في التمهيد تكلمت عن مفهوم التناص حديثا، وحضوره في التراث النقدي العربي، ثم عرضت في اختصار لسيرة الشاعر وشعره، وبعدها أوردت أبرز محتويات ديوانه: "عندما يئن العفاف"، وفي الفصل الأول تناولت مصادر التناص في ديوان (عندما يئن العفاف)، وذلك من خلال ثلاثة مباحث: المبحث الأول: التناص الديني، وفي المبحث الثاني: التناص الأدبي، وفي المبحث الثالث: التناص التاريخي. وتناولت موضوعات التناص وآلياته في ديوان (عندما يئن العفاف) في الفصل الثاني، وذلك من خلال مبحثين، في المبحث الأول تحدثت فيه عن موضوعات التناص في الديوان من خلال الموضوعات الذاتية، فالموضوعات الاجتماعية، فالموضوعات السياسية، وفي المبحث الثاني فتناولت آليات التناص في الديوان، وذلك من خلال استدعاء الشخصيات، فاستدعاء الوظائف، وأخيراً استدعاء الخطاب. وقد اتبعت في هذا البحث المنهج الوصفي بجانب الإفادة من المنهج التحليلي والمنهج المقارن خاصةً عندما عرضت لتناص العشماوي مع شعراء العصر الحديث. وتتلخص أهمية هذا البحث في الكشف عن وجه بالغ الأهمية من أوجه إنشائية النص الشعري لدى الشاعر عبد الرحمن العشماوي وهو التناص. ومن أبرز ما توصل إليه البحث من نتائج أن المصدر الديني كان أبرز مصادر التناص في تجربة العشماوي الشعرية في هذا الديوان، كما أن المصدر الأدبي للتناص عند الشعر مستمد من الأدب القديم والأدب الحديث معاً، وأن استدعاء الشاعر للشخصيات التاريخية اتخذ ثلاثة أشكال هي: توظيف الشخصية عنصراً في صورة جزئية، توظيف الشخصية معادلاً تراثياً، توظيف الشخصية محوراً للقصيدة.

Background: The use of shoulder arthroplasty has increased among all age groups, albeit most prominently in older patients. While previous studies have investigated predictors of short-term readmission and reoperation in the general population, there is a paucity of literature available on these in patients under 45 years of age. This study aimed to identify the predictors of 30-day readmission and reoperation following shoulder arthroplasty in patients under 45 years of age. Methods: A retrospective query in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2011 to 2019 was used to identify patients who underwent primary reverse and anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of 30-day readmission and reoperation. Results: A total of 530 patients were included. Multivariate regression revealed that Black race and Hispanic ethnicity were independent predictors of readmission. Functional dependence, hypertension requiring medication, and prolonged length of stay predicted reoperation. Finally, low hematocrit and prolonged length of stay predicted morbidity. Discussion: Identifying and accounting for these risk factors for poor outcomes may help improve perioperative risk stratification. As a result, these findings have the potential to reduce healthcare costs associated with readmission and reoperation following shoulder arthroplasty in young patients. Our results also highlight the underlying disparities in healthcare outcomes among racial and ethnic groups that must be considered.

Introduction: Approximately one-third of US healthcare spending is related to surgical care. Optimizing operating room (OR) spending is crucial, specifically for high-volume procedures like total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, the primary objective was to identify leading material drivers of cost for TKA procedures within the OR. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent a primary, elective TKA from 2018 to 2019 were included (n=8,672). Intraoperative cost details for each TKA patient were captured from the Vizient Clinical Database Resource Manager (CDB/RM) data. Each cost type was categorized into (1) implant, (2) disposables, (3) wound care, and (4) miscellaneous. Results: 7,124 patients undergoing primary TKA were included. Implant-related costs accounted for 87.3% of cost, disposable materials covered 10.7%, and wound care products took 2%. The leading subcategories of implant costs were primary prosthetics (85.1%), revision prosthetics (9.9%), cement (2.8%), and implant instruments (1.7%). Within disposables, surgical products accounted for 81.3% of the cost, patient care products for 8.9%, medical apparel for 7.9%, and electrolytes for 1.8%. For an average individual TKA procedure, 86.4% (±4.4) of total cost went towards the implant, 10.7% (±3.4) towards disposable materials, and 1.6% (±1.4) to wound care products. Within the implant category, 92.5% (± 12.8) of costs were associated with primary implants, 13.3% (± 6.9) with instruments, and 2.5% (± 2.8) with cement. Conclusions: The primary operative material expense category was costs associated with the TKA prosthesis and its fixation followed by disposable materials. A large amount of variation exists in the percent of the total cost for a given TKA procedure that can be attributed to each category.

Pregnant women have a number of physiological changes that lower the immune responses to avoid embryonic rejection, which increases the risk of problems after contracting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Multiple inflammatory cytokines are dysregulated in this process and expressed inappropriately during systemic inflammatory responses associated with COVID-19. The aim of the study was to compare the levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), a marker of endothelial damage in pregnancies with and without COVID-19. A cohort prospective study was conducted at H. Adam Malik General Hospital and the Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Indonesia. Pregnant women without COVID-19 and pregnant women with moderate and severe degrees of COVID-19 were recruited. The level of VCAM-1 was measured at three different time points (during pregnancy, within an hour of placental detachment, and 24 hours postpartum). The ANOVA and Student t-test were used to compare the VCAM-1 levels among different time points and between groups, respectively. The mean VCAM-1 levels at the hospital admission, one hour of placental detachment and 24 hours postpartum in non-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pregnancies were 591.29 vs 1176.27 pg/mL; 558.2 vs 1136.2 pg/mL; and 508.59 vs 985.2 pg/mL, respectively. There was a significant different in VCAM-1 levels in normal pregnancy at the time of hospital admission, one hour after detachment of the placenta and 24 hours postpartum (p=0.04). The mean VCAM-1 levels in pregnant women with COVID-19 also had significant differences between three time points (p=0.033). The levels of VCAM-1 were statically higher among pregnancy in the COVID-19 group compared to the non-COVID-19 group during hospital admission (p=0.023), one hour after placenta detachment (p=0.040) and 24 hours postpartum (p=0.043).The results suggested the usefulness of identifying the VCAM-1 level as a marker of endothelial dysfunction in pregnancy with COVID-19.

TikTok social media can be one of the triggers for a person's dissatisfaction with their body shape due to visual content that influences the individual. This research aims to find out the relationship between self acceptance and body dissatisfaction in teenage girls who use TikTok in the city of Makassar. The research method used is a quantitative research method. The subjects in this research were teenage girls using the social media TikTok aged 11-18 years and domiciled in the city of Makassar (N = 400) who were obtained using accidental sampling techniques. Research data was tested using the Spearman rank correlation test. The measuring instruments used are the self acceptance scale and the body dissatisfaction scale. The results of the research show that there is a negative relationship between self acceptance and body dissatisfaction among teenage girls who use TikTok in the city of Makassar, amounting to (r) -0.868 with a significance level of 0.000. This research illustrates that the higher self-acceptance, the lower body dissatisfaction. The results of this research contribute to adolescent girls increasing positive self acceptance so that they can accept their bodies, thereby reducing the risk of negative things occurring due to a lack of self acceptance, one of which is body dissatisfaction. Teenagers can start by using TikTok social media wisely so that it has a positive effect on themselves. The conclusion is that from the research results, it was found that there was a negative relationship between self-acceptance and body dissatisfaction in teenage girls who use TikTok in Makassar city.
