This narrative review examines the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to cervical cancer across Southeastern Europe, with a focus on disparities in awareness, prevention efforts, and healthcare access. A comprehensive search of PubMed over the past 12 years was conducted to assess gaps in KAP regarding cervical cancer and human papillomavirus (HPV) prevention. The findings revealed significant gaps in KAP, including limited knowledge about cervical cancer risk factors, inadequate attitudes toward screening, and poor preventive practices, such as low participation in screening programs and HPV vaccine uptake. Economic challenges and inconsistent healthcare communication further hinder progress. The review emphasizes the need for targeted public health strategies, focusing on improving education, social mobilization, and access to essential services. Further research is necessary to address sociocultural and economic factors contributing to these gaps and to develop tailored interventions suited to the region's diverse populations.
What lexical acquisition has to say about a non-lexicalist architecture of grammar – and vice-versa
Authors: Beraldo Rafael Luis , Araújo-Adriano Paulo Ângelo
Published: October 2024

Distributed Morphology (DM) predicts that the units of syntactic derivation are smaller than words. This paper explores the implications of this prediction for language acquisition research and questions if DM is descriptively and theoretically sound when faced with acquisition phenomena. We first introduce independent evidence supporting sub-word units in acquisition: results from a computational model of lexical acquisition show that slightly more morphologically complex input data, such as Brazilian Portuguese when compared to English, cause a substantial decrease in the model’s performance; children’s early productions when acquiring polysynthetic languages reveal they are attempting to find these languages’ morphological units, instead of relying on chunks of non-analysed material; and words are shown to lack explanatory power in describing language acquisition in terms of storage, bootstrapping, or production. We then bridge the gap between DM and earlier proposals for the identification of words and formal features, briefly outlining a strategy for acquiring morphemes. Finally, we present accounts for two prevalent phenomena linked to language acquisition through the lens of DM: the overregularisation in acquiring irregular verbs, a step observed in children acquiring different languages; and the Brazilian Portuguese verbal paradigm shift, an example of morphological diachronic change. Our findings support the non-lexicalist derivation of words, highlighting that words are incompatible with acquisition from multiple perspectives. This suggests that understanding language acquisition benefits from considering the smaller, morpheme-based units predicted by Distributed Morphology.
The roots and structures of possessive noun classes
Authors: Armstrong Grant
Published: October 2024

In both the typological literature and literature on formal syntax and semantics, a division is drawn between nouns that are inalienably possessed such as body parts and kinship terms and nouns that are alienably possessed such as owned materials. In this paper I re-examine data from Spanish and Mayan languages and propose an analysis of it that emphasizes two important points regarding the roots and structures associated with inalienable and alienable possession. I first make the novel observation that various types of external possession in Spanish provide clear support for the idea that  inalienable possession is structurally less complex than alienable possession: inalienable possessive relations are introduced within a complex n head that consists of a root and nominalizing head. I then explore attributive possession in Mayan languages and highlight data that leads to conflicting conclusions about where, precisely, inalienable relations such as part-of and kin-of are encoded: on n heads or on roots. I outline avenues for future research with the Mayan language family that may help elucidate which of these two analyses may ultimately be correct.
Compositionality in verbs and nominalizations
Authors: Boechat de Medeiros Alessandro
Published: October 2024

This work is about verb nominalizations and the relation between these forms, the argument structure of their verbal bases, and verbs’ possible meanings. Since Chomsky’s seminal work (Chomsky, 1970), nominalizations have become a window to investigate fundamental aspects of argument structure and assess linguistic theory. Following such a tradition, adopting the framework of Distributed Morphology (Halle; Marantz, 1993; Marantz, 1997, 2013b) and using Brazilian Portuguese data, this paper explores typical nominal forms derived from various kinds of Brazilian Portuguese verbs to evaluate a specific proposal of constructionist argument structure theory found in Medeiros (2018). The BP data show that syntactic-semantic decompositions of verb phrases are at least partially preserved in their derived nominal forms in a very systematic manner, and that these forms maintain the complex structural meaning in all kinds of situations – even when these are interpreted as result nominals. This work also provides some innovative syntactic-semantic means to deal with result nominals interpreted as entities (as in the case of construção (construction)), showing how to obtain, compositionally, such entity readings, demonstrating that even in these cases there are clear reflexes of event meanings.
Emphatic affirmative verb reduplication in Spanish
Authors: Silva María Florencia
Published: October 2024

In this article, I present a type of verb reduplication observed in Rioplatense Spanish that has not yet been discussed in the literature. This type of construction, which I will call emphatic affirmative verb reduplication, is similar to a type of reduplication present in European Portuguese but has specific properties that make it different and it simultaneously motivates an alternative analysis to that proposed in the literature. Here, I provide a comprehensive description of the phenomenon, situating it within the set of other reduplications, and outline a syntactic proposal that captures the main properties of the phenomenon.
The Effectiveness of RCBT in the Treatment of Depression among Clergy in Kenya

Mental health in the clergy is as crucial as it is for the general population, with studies indicating that clergy suffer from depression at rates higher than the general public, underlining the need for effective interventions (Eagle et al., 2019; Proeschold-Bell et al., 2013). Factors such as long working hours, inadequate pay, and feeling unprepared for their roles contribute to high depression rates among clergy (Krejcir, 2016). Many pastors internalize these challenges, leading to frustration and depression (Ruiz-Prada, 2021). Clergy often resort to spiritual coping mechanisms, including prayer and consulting senior pastors, rather than seeking professional mental health treatment. Hence, Religious Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (RCBT) could be more suitable for clergy despite limited research on its effectiveness. This study assessed the efficacy of RCBT in reducing depression among clergy in Kenya, using a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups, including pre- and post-tests. A sample of 123 clergy (26-65 years old, 88 males) from Love INC, Kenya, was screened for depression using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Of the 64 clergy who met the criteria for depressive symptoms, 52 were willing to undergo intervention, and 26 were randomly assigned to both the control and experimental arms. The experimental group received a 10-week, weekly RCBT intervention, while the control group received no treatment. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results from an independent samples t-test showed a significant reduction in depression scores for the experimental group compared to the control group (t48 = -2.49, p = .016). The experimental group's mean depression scores decreased from 19.96 (SD = 6.57) at baseline to 12.20 (SD = 6.42) at the study's end, while the control group’s scores remained nearly unchanged. The large effect size at the end of the study (Cohen's d = -.703) demonstrated RCBT’s effectiveness in alleviating depression symptoms. These findings suggest RCBT could be an effective mental health intervention for clergy and encourage further research into its application for other mental health conditions within this group. It also promotes awareness that religious leaders can seek help for depression while maintaining their faith.

Mehmet Akif Ersoy’un İslam Aile Hukukunun Bazı Konuları Hakkındaki Görüşleri
Authors: Erdoğan Sümeyye
Published: October 2024

Mehmet Akif Ersoy, İslam esasları üzerine kurulu bir toplumun gerekliliğini savunmaktadır. Şiirleri aracılığıyla da toplumsal konuları ele almıştır. Safahat adlı şiir külliyatında Türk toplumunun yaşadığı savaşlara, yozlaşmalara, ekonomik sıkıntılara, anlaşmazlıklara ve toplumsal değişmelere yer vermiştir. Mehmet Akif, toplumda meydana gelen bu büyük değişimlerin fazlalığına ve olumsuz yönlerine dikkat çekmektedir. Toplumda mefsedet doğuran durumların sebebinin, İslam’ın hüküm ve kaidelerinden uzaklaşılması olduğunu belirtmiştir. Çözümün ise ancak dini hükümlerin doğru bir şekilde yaşanması olduğunu ifade eder. Akif’e göre bu durumun sağlanabilmesi için dini, insanlara doğru anlatan iyi fıkıh alimlerine ihtiyaç vardır. Toplumda mevcut bulunan din anlayışı; Kur’an, Sünnet ve icmâ temelinde akıl süzgecinden geçirilerek düzeltilmelidir. Keza insanların fıkıh alanındaki yetersiz ve yanlış bilgileri toplumda birçok konuda yozlaşmayı da beraberinde getirir. Dinden uzaklaşmanın getirmiş olduğu kötü sonuçlardan en çok etkilenenler arasında da şüphesiz aile kavramı yer almaktadır. Mehmet Akif’e göre aile hayatı düzgün olmayan toplumlar geri kalmaya mahkumdur. Akif’in yaşadığı dönemde karşılaştığı ve eleştirdiği aile hayatındaki sorunlar günümüzde de geçerliliğini korumaktadır. Bu nedenle çalışmamızda Mehmet Akif Ersoy’un tanık olduğu aile hayatına dair toplumsal sorunlar, örnek olay olarak ele alınıp değerlendirilmiştir. Böylelikle İslam hukuk kaidelerinden uzaklaşmanın aile hayatında oluşturduğu yozlaşma, net bir şekilde ortaya konmak istenmektedir. Konunun kapsamı içinde olmaları sebebiyle Köse İmam, Meyhane ve Asım şiirlerinde aktarılan manzum hikâyeler üzerinde durulmuştur. Şiirlerdeki olay örgülerinde evliliğin hükmü, çeyiz, nafaka, te’addüd-i zevcât, eşler arası münasebet, mal rejimi ve talâk konuları karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Eserde yer alan örnek olaylar ile ilgili Mehmet Akif’in yorumlarına yer verilmiştir. Daha sonrasında ilgili konuya dair açıklama yapılmış ve yanlış bilinen/uygulanan durumlar İslam hukukuna göre kısaca izah edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda dinin koymuş olduğu hükümlerin devre dışı bırakılması veya yanlış yorumlanmasının aile hayatı üzerindeki zararını görmekteyiz. Akif’e göre aile hayatında kadına hak ettiği değerin verilmesi, çok evliliğin keyfi bir uygulama olmaktan çıkarılması, boşama konusundaki yanlış algıların düzeltilmesi, evlilik sürecinde kadının mali haklarını elde etmesi ve koruyabilmesi gibi hususlar ancak İslam hukuk kaidelerinin doğru anlaşılması ile mümkündür. Çünkü kadının insan yerine bile konmadığı, aile hayatında belirsizliğin olduğu bir toplumdan asr-ı saadet toplumuna ancak İslamiyet ile ulaşılmıştır. Bu nedenle dinin/fıkhın geri plana atıldığı toplumlarda en çok kadınlar, çocuklar ve aile hayatı zarar görmektedir. Bir milleti ileri taşıyacak neslin yetişmesi ise ancak aileye dair yanlış bilgilerin giderilip, sorunların düzeltilmesi ile mümkündür.

Civil engineering consistently encounters challenges related to the durability and safety of buildings, making the study of pathological manifestations a critical area of inquiry. These defects not only undermine the functionality, structural integrity, and aesthetic quality of constructions but also pose significant risks to occupant safety. It is imperative to understand the origins and progression of these pathologies to mitigate structural and functional damage. The application of technical standards, while essential, is often inadequate, thereby exacerbating the occurrence of these problems. This research seeks to identify the underlying causes and origins of building pathologies and to propose effective strategies for their prevention and remediation. Through an interdisciplinary methodology, incorporating diverse sources of information such as bibliographic surveys, technical site visits, and data analysis, the study identifies key pathological manifestations in buildings, including fissures, cracks, concrete deterioration, stains, and efflorescence. The research highlights critical contributing factors such as design errors, material defects, execution failures, and insufficient maintenance. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the principal causes of pathologies and pathological manifestations in a building located in the municipality of Nanuque, and to propose preventative and corrective measures. The research methodology is divided into two distinct phases: an extensive literature review to provide a theoretical foundation, enabling the analysis of prior studies on the subject, followed by a case study involving direct on-site assessments to document the identified pathologies. The findings reveal a range of issues, including reinforcement corrosion, concrete segregation, cracks, fissures, and efflorescence. Informed by the literature, the study proposes appropriate interventions to enhance the safety, stability, aesthetics, and comfort of the building's occupants.

Published: October 2024

Patients with Gout Arthritis often suffer from intense pain. While there's no one-size-fits-all cure for joint pain in older adults with this condition, there are various ways to ease the discomfort. Cinnamon compresses can help alleviate the symptoms. Compounds like eugenol and cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon create a warm feeling on the skin, calming inflammation by slowing down pain signals. This can help lower sensitivity to pain and make it easier to manage. The case study method used was a descriptive case study method, with two subjects of older ages with Gout Arthritis, using the format of assessment of family nursing care and evaluation of pain scales. Cinnamon compresses are carried out four times a week using 2 ml of cinnamon liquid, with 200cc of water, at a temperature of 40-450C, followed by compresses for 15-20 minutes using a washcloth. After applying cinnamon compresses four times a week, the study showed a decrease in pain intensity before and after the intervention was given to the two subjects. The Subject's pain intensity decreased from moderate to mild pain. The application of cinnamon compresses is effective in reducing the intensity of Gout Arthritis pain.

Published: October 2024

Religious moderation is essential to prevent conflict in a diverse society. This study analyzes the program of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Bantul Regency using Peter L. Berger's social construction theory. Field research with a qualitative approach found that religious moderation is formed through three social dialectic processes: externalization, namely the adaptation of individuals to the social structure of religious moderation through religious texts and figures; objectivation, namely the development of awareness of moderation as a positive action through tradition and institutionalization; and internalization, namely the identification of individuals in the socio-cultural context that forms inclusive and exclusive groups. The program of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Bantul Regency plays an important role in building a social foundation that supports religious moderation in Bantul.

Authors: Shinta Widhaningroem  , Yeni Widowaty
Published: October 2024

This research analyzes the application of regulations in prosecuting cyber crime in identity theft on e-commerce platforms in Indonesia. This study uses normative juridical research methods. This research considers various relevant laws, such as the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), the Criminal Code (KUHP), the Copyright Law, the Telecommunications Law, the Company Documents Law, and the Money Laundering Crime Law. Analysis shows that this law provides a strong legal basis for law enforcement to take action against cybercriminals and impose appropriate criminal sanctions. Apart from that, the law regulates electronic evidence, strengthening the investigation process against perpetrators. However, prosecuting cybercrime cases of identity theft on e-commerce platforms often experiences obstacles, especially in arresting suspects and confiscating evidence. This is due to the characteristics of digital crimes which are often complex and difficult to trace, as well as the lack of adequate capabilities and resources on the part of law enforcement in handling these types of cases. Greater efforts are needed to increase law enforcement capacity, as well as closer cooperation between authorities and e-commerce platform providers to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement in dealing with cybercrime

The study found a medium amount of closeness between the CR and the DER, with a correlation value of -0.672342. A correlation value of 0.976407 between DAR and DER places it in the strong category. An study of the contribution of the independent variables, namely the CR and DAR, yields a DER value of 95.2%, while other factors account for the remaining 4.8%. Since it generates a sig value of 0.0000 < 0.05, the CR value significantly impacts the DER, according to incomplete study. With a sig value of 0.0000 < 0.05, DAR significantly impacts the DER. At the same time, the DER is significantly impacted by the two independent variables, CR and DAR, with a sig value of 0.0000 < 0.05
