Self-Centered Intelligent Care (SCIC) in Patients with Diabetes: A Futuristic Scenario
Authors: Sadeghi Donya
Published: January 2025

Diabetes is a global epidemic that accounts for about 12% of the world's health costs. Diabetes is the main cause of kidney failure, lower limb disorders and blindness in adulthood and it nearly doubles the risk of heart attack and all-cause mortality, leading to hospitalizations, long-term complications, and high costs. In this way, the value of self-care and especially self-centered health care at the individual, institutional, and social levels, in maintaining and improving the health of patients with diabetes becomes more visible. This manuscript introduces the Self-centered intelligent care (SCIC) scenario, which probably patients with diabetes will benefit from in the future.
Insulin Efsitora a Useful Addition to Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes but not Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Mikhail Nasser
Published: January 2025

Efsitora is a once-weekly basal insulin under investigation in a series of 5 phase 3 clinical trials called the QWINT development program. In QWINT-2 and QWINT-5 trials including insulin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes and adults with type 1 diabetes, respectively, efsitora was compared to once-daily degludec. In both trials, efsitora was found non inferior to degludec in lowering glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels after 52 weeks. In patients with type 2 diabetes, 6 episodes of level 3 hypoglycemia (i.e. severe hypoglycemia associated with cognitive impairment) occurred with degludec versus none with efsitora. However, incidence of level 1 hypoglycemia or hypoglycemia alert [blood glucose (BG) 54-69 mg/dl] was numerically greater with efsitora versus degludec, estimated rate ratio (ERR) 1.24 (95% CI, 0.99-1.55). Moreover, rates of level 2 hypoglycemia or clinically significant hypoglycemia (BG <54 mg/dl) were also numerically increased with efsitora versus degludec, ERR 1.34 (0.94-1.78). In type 1 diabetes, the QWINT-5 study showed that incidence of all levels of hypoglycemia was significantly increased with efsitora versus degludec, with relative rates of 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.29; P=0.016) and 3.44 (95% CI, 1.64-7.19; P=0.0011) for levels 1 and 3 hypoglycemia, respectively. Incidence of nocturnal hypoglycemia was similar in efsitora and degludec groups in both QWINT-2 and QWINT-5 trials. Patients’ satisfaction was significantly improved with efsitora versus degludec in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, efsitora might be a convenient basal insulin for patients with type 2 diabetes to decrease number of insulin injections. However, efsitora may be unsafe in patients with type 1 diabetes due to increased risk of hypoglycemia. Further studies are required to determine a safe dose-titration strategy to decrease incidence of hypoglycemia with efsitora.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the strategies employed by counselors to support the emotional well-being of gifted adolescents. Recognizing the unique emotional and social challenges faced by this population, the research seeks to identify effective counseling practices that can be implemented to foster a supportive environment and address their specific needs. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with 21 counselors who have extensive experience working with gifted adolescents. The participants were purposefully selected to ensure diverse perspectives. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcribed interview data, with NVivo software assisting in the organization and coding of themes and subthemes. The analysis revealed three primary themes in the counseling strategies for supporting the emotional well-being of gifted adolescents: Building Trusting Relationships, Developing Emotional Regulation Skills, and Promoting Social Connections. Key strategies within these themes included establishing rapport, maintaining confidentiality, personalizing approaches, teaching coping strategies, stress management techniques, encouraging self-expression, facilitating peer interaction, and involving families. These strategies align with existing literature, highlighting the importance of empathetic, individualized, and holistic approaches in counseling gifted adolescents. The study underscores the critical role of counselors in addressing the emotional and social challenges faced by gifted adolescents. Effective strategies involve building strong, trusting relationships, developing emotional regulation skills, and promoting social connections. These findings suggest that a comprehensive approach, which includes personalized support and proactive engagement, is essential for fostering the emotional well-being of gifted adolescents. Future research should further explore the perspectives of gifted adolescents and the long-term impacts of these counseling strategies.

Exploring the Influence of Psychological and Spiritual Factors on Job Self-Efficacy in Individuals with Hearing Impairments
Authors: Bastholm Mathias , Sarami Paria
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between job self-efficacy, sense of coherence, and spiritual well-being among adults with hearing impairments. Specifically, it sought to determine the extent to which sense of coherence and spiritual well-being predict job self-efficacy in this population. A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 300 adults with hearing impairments. Participants were recruited from rehabilitation centers, support groups, and online platforms. Data were collected using three standardized instruments: the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE), the Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13), and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted using SPSS-27 to explore the relationships between the variables. The mean job self-efficacy score was 28.56 (SD = 6.43), the mean sense of coherence score was 70.28 (SD = 14.92), and the mean spiritual well-being score was 92.65 (SD = 16.37). Job self-efficacy was significantly correlated with both sense of coherence (r = 0.53, p < 0.01) and spiritual well-being (r = 0.47, p < 0.01). The regression analysis revealed that sense of coherence (β = 0.37, p < 0.001) and spiritual well-being (β = 0.32, p < 0.001) were significant predictors of job self-efficacy, explaining 37% of the variance (F(2, 297) = 87.92, p < 0.001). The study highlights the significant roles of sense of coherence and spiritual well-being in predicting job self-efficacy among adults with hearing impairments. These findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing these psychological and spiritual dimensions could effectively support job self-efficacy in this population. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies and explore additional factors that may influence job self-efficacy.

Authors: Ramirez Jacob , Kwon Alicia
Published: January 2025

This study aims to examine the relationship between self-advocacy skills, assistive technology use, and self-esteem among adults with physical disabilities. A cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected from 244 adults with physical disabilities. Participants completed validated self-report measures assessing self-esteem, self-advocacy skills, and assistive technology use. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to explore the relationships between the variables. A linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the extent to which self-advocacy skills and assistive technology use predict self-esteem. All analyses were performed using SPSS version 27. The results indicated significant positive correlations between self-esteem and both self-advocacy skills (r = .62, p < .01) and assistive technology use (r = .58, p < .01). Self-advocacy skills and assistive technology use were found to be significant predictors of self-esteem, accounting for 49% of the variance (R² = .49, F(2, 241) = 115.63, p < .001). The regression analysis revealed that self-advocacy skills (B = 0.34, β = .42, p < .001) and assistive technology use (B = 0.28, β = .36, p < .001) both positively influence self-esteem. The study concludes that self-advocacy skills and assistive technology use are crucial determinants of self-esteem in adults with physical disabilities. These findings highlight the importance of providing support and training in self-advocacy and access to appropriate assistive technology to enhance psychological well-being and autonomy in this population. Future research should explore these relationships longitudinally and across diverse disability groups.
Ismeretlen ördögűzők
Authors: Somogyi László
Published: January 2025

Az ismeretlen ördögűző történetéből kiindulva első renden Jézus ilyen tevékenységét értelmezi a tanulmány. Arra következtet, hogy Jézus „ördögűzései” olyan cselekedetek, amelyeket a saját korának hihetőségi rendszerében értelmeztek annak kortársai. Az Újszövetségben leírt beszámolók alapján Jézus tevékenységének célja elsősorban nem az „ördögűzés” és a gyógyítás volt, hanem az Isten országa örömhírének meghirdetése. Minden olyan cselekedete, amelyet gyógyításnak, ördögűzésnek értelmeztek, azon alapult, hogy a rászorulók hitét igyekezett feléleszteni, és arra biztatta őket, hogy ezzel a hittel hagyatkozzanak Isten jóindulatú közeledésére. Ez a hit lesz a záloga gyógyulásuknak. Ezzel szemben Jézus tanítványai és a Jézushoz nem csatlakozó „ördögűzők” Jézus nevét mágikus eszközként használva igyekeztek sikereket elérni. Ezzel azonban éppen azt bizonyították, hogy nem értették meg az örömhír lényegét. Az ilyen „instrumentális” kereszténység a mai napig fellelhető a vallásos gyakorlatban, és válaszút elé állítja azokat, akik a názáreti Jézus követőinek vallják magukat.

Stabilisation of Incubation Temperature in Hot Water Chicken Egg Incubator
Authors: Mbawala Shanel , Mwita Wambura , Mtawa Alexander
Published: January 2025

In this study, the existing egg incubator at Songwe Geothermal Hot
Spring was improved by stabilising incubator temperature, hence
improving hatching efficiency. The improved hot water egg incubator
with a capacity of 280 eggs was designed, fabricated, and tested.
Incubator temperature was stabilised by a variable flow rate of
circulating hot water that corresponds to changes in incubator
temperature. The flow rate of circulating hot water (1.5–2 litres/min)
was proportional to the temperature of the incubator. A heat balance
equation was formulated to quantify the heat transferred from hot
water to circulating water, incubator circulating air, eggs, and the heat
lost surrounding. Results revealed that the improved hot water egg
incubator had an average hatching efficiency of 89% and a relatively
stable temperature with a mean and standard deviation of 37.83°C and
0.1°C, respectively. The results showed a significant improvement as
compared to the existing incubator, which had the capacity of 240 eggs,
an average hatching efficiency of 84%, and relatively temperature
stability with a mean and standard deviation of 37.3°C and 0.69°C,
respectively. Results for the heat balance equation showed that most of
the heat transferred from circulating water to the incubator was used to
raise and maintain the temperature of the incubator at 37.8°C. The eggs
absorbed a relatively small amount of heat, which was 3.136W. The
improved incubator can also be operated by heat from geothermal
resources and waste heat from industries and power plants in the 50°C
100°C temperature range.

Published: January 2025

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined monkeypox infection outcomes among immunocompromised populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, with particular focus on clinical implications for Ghana and neighboring countries. Following PRISMA guidelines, the study analyzed 36 peer-reviewed articles from 1970-2024, employing comprehensive data visualization and statistical analysis techniques.
Key findings revealed significant correlations between immune status and disease outcomes, with HIV+ patients showing 2.8 times higher risk of severe outcomes [32]. Healthcare access disparities substantially impact treatment efficacy, with urban centers achieving 75-82% access rates compared to 38-45% in rural areas [25, 26]. Clinical progression analysis demonstrated extended recovery periods for immunocompromised patients, with symptom resolution taking up to 8 weeks compared to 4 weeks in immunocompetent individuals [16, 17].
Recommendations include implementing immune status-specific treatment protocols, establishing rapid response systems for rural areas, and developing specialized care pathways for immunocompromised patients. For Ghana and other Sub-Saharan countries, priorities include strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure, enhancing surveillance systems, and implementing targeted prevention strategies for vulnerable populations [2, 3, 32]. These findings provide crucial guidance for healthcare practitioners managing monkeypox in resource-limited settings.

Published: January 2025

Kürtaj, gebeliğin, kadının sağlığını tehdit eden bir durum nedeniyle sonlanmasını veya böyle bir tehlike olmasa dahi kadının isteğiyle sonlandırılmasını ifade etmektedir. Bu uygulama, fetüsün yaşamı ile kadının özgürlüğünü karşı karşıya getirmekte ve hukuki, ahlaki, siyasi, ekonomik, sosyolojik, dini pek çok alanda tartışmalara yol açmaktadır. Tartışmalar temel olarak kürtajı destekleyen seçim yanlıları ile fetüsü önceleyen yaşam yanlıları ekseninde gerçekleşmektedir. Zamanla bu iki kutbun arasını bulmaya çalışan ayrılıkçılık ve tahliyecilik gibi görüşler ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışmada kürtaj, bireylerin başkalarına zarar vermemek kaydıyla özgürce yaşayabilmelerini düstur edinen bir felsefi akım olan liberteryenizm perspektifinden incelenmiştir. Makalenin ilk başlığında kürtaj ve liberteryenizm temel hatlarıyla ele alınmakta ve liberteryen düşünce içerisindeki kürtaj yaklaşımları sunulmaktadır. Makalenin ikinci başlığında ise kürtaj üzerine yıllar süren fikri tartışmalara imza atan iki liberteryen düşünür olan Walter E. Block ve Jakub B. Wisniewski’nin liberteryen öz mülkiyet ve saldırmazlık aksiyomları eksenindeki argümanları aktarılmaktadır. Tartışmalarda Block’un tahliyeciliği, Wisniewski’nin ise yaşam yanlısı görüşü benimsediği görülmektedir. Bu makalede, kürtaj uygulamaları Block ve Wisniewski arasındaki tartışmalar temelinde liberteryen bir pespektiften ele alınmakta ve böylelikle kürtaj tartışmalarına farklı bir boyut kazandırılarak literatüre katkı sağlanması amaçlanmaktadır.
İLETİŞİMİN KİTLESEL GÖZETİMİNDE USULİ GÜVENCELERİN SAĞLANMASI: AİHM’NİN İKİ KARARI ÇERÇEVESİNDE DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Kızılsümer Özer Deniz
Published: January 2025

25 Mayıs 2021 tarihinde, AİHM Büyük Dairesi, In Centrum för Rattvisa v. İsveç ve Big Brother Watch ve Diğerleri v. İngiltere davasında, Birleşik Krallık ve İsveç hükümetlerinin, kitle iletişiminin gözetimi (KİG) hakkındaki ulusal mevzuatlarının gizliliğin korunması için yeterli usul güvenceleri içermemesi nedeniyle AİHS Madde 8'i ihlal ettiğine hükmetti. Mahkemenin bu kararlardaki yaklaşımı özellikler gösterdiği için çeşitli yönlerden incelenmelidir. Öncelikle, Mahkeme, KİG'nin özelliğini göz önünde bulundurarak, mağduriyeti kanıtlamanın neredeyse imkansız olması nedeniyle mağduriyet gerekliliğini ortadan kaldırarak, davalının iç başvuru yollarını tüketmesini aramadan davayı soyut olarak karara bağladı. İkinci olarak, Mahkeme, KİG ile ilgili mevzuatın “kanunun kalitesi” koşulunu karşılayıp karşılamadığını değerlendirdi. Mahkeme, hedefli gözetim konusundaki önceki davalarında bazı usulî güvenceleri belirlemiş olsa da, bu kararlarında özel hayatın gizliliğinin korunması için KİG ile ilgili mevzuatın içermesi gereken minimum güvenceleri belirledi. Mahkeme, “toplu gözetim rejiminin per se Sözleşmeyi ihlal etmediğine” karar verdi; ancak Mahkemeye göre KİG ile ilgili mevzuat özel hayatın korunmasını sağlamak üzere “baştan sona güvenceler” sağlamalıdır. Özetle, gizli gözetimi düzenleyen kanunların Mahkemenin önüne gelmesi halinde yapılan denetim sırasında müdahalenin hukuka uygunluğu “kanuna uygunluk” ve “gereklilik” koşullarının birlikte değerlendirilmesi suretiyle yapılmaktadır. Burada, “kanunun kalitesi” koşulu, ilgili kanunların hem “erişilebilir ve öngörülebilir” olmasını hem de gizli gözetim önlemlerinin yalnızca “demokratik bir toplumda gerekli” olduğunda uygulanmasını, özellikle kanunlarda özel hayatın korumasını sağlamak üzere yeterli ve etkili güvencelerin ve garantilerin bulunmasını ifade eder. Son olarak, Mahkemenin bu davalarda benimsediği “kanunun kalitesi” ve “usuli güvenceler” yaklaşımının gelecekte önüne gelecek benzeri türdeki toplu gözetim ve yapay zeka ile ilgili davalar için ne ölçüde geçerli olacağını zaman gösterecektir.

Bu çalışma, insan hakları ve örgütsel toplumsal sorumlulukların kurumsal kuram perspektifinden incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, özellikle insan hakları ve örgütsel meşruiyet arasındaki ilişkiyi ele alarak, örgütlerin sürdürülebilir iş modelleri geliştirmesinde bu kavramların rolünü incelemektedir. Kurumsal kuram çerçevesinde, örgütlerin sadece ekonomik ve teknik gerekliliklere değil, aynı zamanda toplumsal ve kültürel normlara da uyum sağlaması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, Türkçe literatürde henüz yeterince ilişkilendirilmemiş olan insan hakları ve örgüt çalışmaları alanlarını bir araya getirerek özgün bir kavramsal çerçeve sunmayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma, örgütsel meşruiyet, toplumsal kabul, sosyal sorumluluk ve sürdürülebilirlik konularını küreselleşme süreci perspektifinden ele alarak, bu alanda yeni bir kavramsal model önerisi geliştirmektedir.
SEEKING HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE SERVICES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS: HUMAN RIGHTS CITY
Authors: Avşar Yeter
Published: January 2025

Local governments, responsible for city management and the closest administrative units to the public, are made even more valuable by their ability to maintain direct communication with the people. Especially in recent times, changes and developments around the world have made local governments indispensable entities. Their responsibility for urban area management, the development of policies and services aimed at daily public life, decision-making, and the implementation of democratic values like representation and participation at the local level, all while meeting the community’s common and local needs equally without excluding anyone, highlights their connection with human rights. This is because the quality of these services delivered by local governments reflects the importance they place on human rights. In this context, the study aims to explain the relationship between local governments and human rights and to identify where human rights stand in the services provided by local governments. Another purpose of the study is to discuss the "Human Rights City" model, seen as the localization of human rights, by examining what it aims to achieve locally through example applications.

The development of accounting science has triggered the development of more complex accounting standards. The development of accounting standards has led to differences in accounting practices between countries, including European countries. The application of accounting standards in Europe cannot be separated from the influence of the development of American and British accounting systems in European countries. This research aims to see the influence of America and England on the development of accounting in European countries and to compare European countries' accounting practices and systems. The method used in this research is library research, by collecting data from relevant books and journals. This library data is then arranged in a structured manner to obtain research results. The research results show that the European accounting system has been largely influenced by America and England. European countries have absorbed accounting standards in the form of IFRS in their accounting practices. Several European countries have created their own country's accounting standards, but their practices are still adapted to international accounting and IFRS so that there is still harmonization of accounting standards in each European country.

Published: January 2025

In recent decades, the issue of food contamination with chemical substances resulting from industrialization and increasing environmental pollution has become a severe challenge for global food security, carrying significant consequences for both public health and the economy. The term “obesogen” was introduced to describe environmental chemical pollutants, classified as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), which can promote obesity in both humans and animals. Among these substances are commonly used chemicals such as bisphenols, phthalates, and perfluoroalkyl substances, whose main source of exposure for humans is consumed food. Studies indicate that exposure to obesogens can disrupt intestinal hormone secretion, lead to dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and stimulate adipogenesis and fat accumulation in adipocytes, which favors the development of obesity and metabolic disorders. Understanding the mechanisms of action of obesogens is gaining particular importance in the face of the growing global obesity problem.

Bu çalışmada, futbol taraftarlarının sporda tutku ile fanatiklik düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Katılımcılar, 90 kadın, 324 erkek toplam 414 taraftar kişiden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada, likert tipi ve tamamı olumlu 13 maddeden oluşan “Futbol Taraftarı Fanatiklik Ölçeği” ve sporcular için Türkçe uyarlaması yapılmış “Sporda Tutku Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Sporda tutku ölçeği sonuçlarında medeni durum, yaş ve aile geliri değişkenlerinde anlamlı farklılıklar görülmüştür. Fanatiklik ölçeğinde ise medeni durum, futbol izleme sıklığı, cinsiyet ve eğitim durumu değişkenlerinde alt boyutlar açısından anlamlı farklıklar saptanmıştır. Ayrıca iki ölçek arasında pozitif yönlü zayıf ve orta düzeyli korelasyon görülmüştür. Tutku ve şiddete yönelik düşünce ve eylem eğilimleri arasında, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ancak zayıf bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Tutku ile kurumsal aidiyet arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Şiddete yönelik düşünce ve eylem eğilimleri ile kurumsal aidiyet arasında, anlamlı ve orta düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki mevcuttur. Bu sonuçlar, sporda tutkunun artmasının şiddete yönelik düşünce ve eylem eğilimlerini de artırabileceğini, ancak kurumsal aidiyet üzerinde belirgin bir artış olmadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca elde edilen sonuçlar, taraftar psikolojisi ve spor yönetimi açısından önemli ipuçları sunarak, spor tutkusunun hem birey hem de toplumsal düzeydeki etkilerini anlamak için yeni bir bakış açısı sağlamaktadır. Araştırmanın, spor dünyasında tutkunun doğasına dair merak uyandıran sorulara kapı açacağı ve gelecekteki çalışmalar için değerli bir temel oluşturacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Hernández García Lisbany
Published: January 2025

El estudio aborda la calidad educativa en las universidades ecuatorianas mediante el fortalecimiento de competencias pedagógicas inclusivas en los docentes. El objetivo es analizar dichas competencias, evaluar su impacto en la calidad educativa y proponer estrategias para mejorar la formación inclusiva. A través de una metodología cuantitativa basada en cuestionarios a docentes y estudiantes, se recopilaron datos sobre percepciones y prácticas inclusivas en varias universidades. Los resultados revelan que el 51,7% de los encuestados considera esenciales estas competencias para un entorno educativo equitativo y de calidad, aunque un 40,8% no las valora como fundamentales, posiblemente debido a falta de recursos o capacitación. También se observa que la formación continua y el acceso a materiales adaptados son claves para implementar prácticas inclusivas efectivas. Finalmente, se concluye que el fortalecimiento de políticas institucionales en recursos y sensibilización contribuiría a una educación superior más accesible y justa en Ecuador.

The Rapid Assessment of Invasive Alien Species in Wetlands of Lao PDR, was conducted to assess the status of four key invasive alien species such as Giant mimosa (Mimosa pigra), Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), Golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata), Suckermouth catfish (Hypostomus plecostomus) at three wetland sites, including Beung Kiat Ngong in Champasack Province, Xe Champhone in Savannakhet Province and Nong Nga Swamp in Borlikhamxay Province. The study included field surveys and interviews of key informants from communities. The study showed that all invasive species are commonly found in wetlands, streams, riverbanks, ponds and rice fields. Local people opinion on floods brought and distributed IAS over these areas. Only Suckermounth catfish is not significant in all three study sites. Mimosa pigra is the most concerned from people’s opinion. It is fast growing and difficult to manage, having no benefits to human and environment. Water hyacinth impacts on water flow, creating thicker sludges along wetland edges, riverbanks and oxbow swamps. Water hyacinth is of highest concerns in Xe Champhone wetlands. People are having difficulties in fishing and boat travelling where the giant mimosa and water hyacinth are invading. When Golden apple snail is present, the variety of aquatic resources is getting loss, such as smalls fishes, shrimps, native snails. Golden apple snails also ate rice plants. However, some families, collect apple snails for sell as an extra income.  No special management plan from local government or development projects for invasive species eradication. Some attempts can be done by communities to manage IAS such as cutting, ploughing, and burning mimosa. People collected water hyacinth by hand, left on the ground to dry and burn. For apple snails, farmers collected from their own fields let them dry on the ground. A collaboration on IAS eradication environmentally is required, financial supports from government and international organization is needed.

A ética personalista e conjugal na obra “Amor e Responsabilidade” de Karol Wojtyla
Authors: Oliveira Jerônimo Laurício de Souza , Giacone Tiago Veronesi
Published: January 2025

After 10 years of experience with preparing couples for marriage, the then bishop Karol Wojtyla, whose studies were based on personalism, phenomenology and Thomistic theology, had conceived the idea of ​​creating a book that defended the teachings of the Church Catholic on conjugal love from an ethical and anthropological point of view. Thus, precisely two years after the episcopal consecration of the young Father Wojtyla, the book “Love and Responsibility” was being published in 1960. In this sense, the present article aims to analyze the importance of constructing a vision about men and women based on personalist ethics (as opposed to an ethics based on utilitarian principles) for a correct understanding of the human love and interpersonal relationships in Wojtyla's approach.
Horizontes de Alteridade: caminhos de libertação na perspectiva de Enrique Dussel
Authors: Ribeiro Leila Maria Orlandi , Rocha Guilherme Felipe Santos
Published: January 2025

This article explores Enrique Dussel's philosophy of liberation, emphasizing its focus on otherness. Dussel, a Latin American philosopher, proposes a philosophy aimed at the emancipation of the oppressed, addressing urgent issues in Latin America. The concept of otherness is central to his work, highlighting the importance of recognizing and valuing the 'other' in its diverse forms. The relevance of his philosophy is underscored in the contemporary context, where inequality and oppression remain significant challenges. The article examines how Dussel articulates a philosophical vision that not only interprets reality but also seeks to transform it, offering a theoretical framework for social movements and human rights struggles. This study aims to explore how Dussel's notion of consciousness intertwines with the ethics of the 'other,' directly addressing the need to acknowledge and act upon social injustices. Ultimately, Dussel's philosophy of liberation critiques power and domination structures, proposing a praxis that strives for social transformation and justice.
Technology-Enhanced Thinking Scaffolding in Musical Education
Authors: Banut Marius , Albulescu Ion
Published: January 2025

In pedagogical language, “scaffolding” is frequently used to replace the expression “support in learning”. In didactic terms, the practice in the classroom shows that various types of support, such as the teacher, colleagues, and technologies, contribute to more efficient learning. In terms of technologies, the present study aims to test the role of programming as a scaffolding agent in learning music theory by memorizing and understanding musical notation elements. In this sense, a sample of 87 students (N = 87) from an urban environment in Romania carried out programming activities using the Sonic Pi application in the Music and movement classes, implemented through an educational project with 24 lessons designed for integrated music-programming learning. The study results describe the acquisition of knowledge, in terms of recognition of musical notation elements, achieved under the influence of cognitive capacities scaffolded by digital technologies. Better post-test results and homogeneous variances between and within the three classes of the participant's sample confirm the possibility of achieving technology-enhanced thinking scaffolding in musical education. The results of the music-programming integrated learning framework could be translated into a more efficient use of teaching time and an increased flexibility of interactions.
