Published: February 2025

Objectives:

We aimed to study the functional outcome difference in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using hamstring autograft thickness between more than 85% and ≤85%.

Materials and Methods:

In our study, 50 patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were operated with arthroscopic ACLR using an autologous hamstring graft. The anteroposterior diameter (APD) of the tibial footprint of ACL is measured using an arthroscopic ruler using a transportal and the graft thickness of more than 70% of the tibial footprint APD was used. The international knee documentation committee and knee society score (KSS) were compared between the groups in the 1st month, 6th month, and 12th month between autograft thickness of >85% and ≤85%.

Results:

The mean IKDC scores of patients with graft thickness >85% were higher compared to graft thickness ≤85% in the 6th and 12th post-operative months, with a statistically significant difference at the 12th post-operative month. The mean KSS scores of patients with graft thickness >85% were higher compared to graft thickness ≤85% at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th post-operative months, with a statistically significant difference at the 12th post-operative month.

Conclusion:

The functional scores were better for autograft thickness of more than 85% compared to autograft thickness of ≤85% at short-term follow-up of the 3rd and 6th post-operative month with a statistical difference at long-term follow-up of the 12th month.

Published: February 2025

Nanobubbles (NBs)—gas inclusions in water with diameters < 1 µm—are of growing interest because of their unique properties and their potential for transformative applications. For example, it has been reported that NBs exist in water over long periods (i.e. weeks to months) and can act as free gas reservoirs. However, NBs are a source of scientific debate, particularly regarding characterization methods. Conventional methods, such as dynamic light scattering, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and nanoflow cytometry, cannot distinguish between nanoparticles and NBs since they are insensitive to the differences of the physical properties of the materials. However, acoustic (speed of sound) measurements can be used to quantify NBs because they rely on the compressibility dependence of gases (𝜅𝑔𝑎𝑠) which is considerably larger than liquids (𝜅𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟) and solids. In the present work, a speed of sound measurement for nanobubble characterization (SONIC) was designed and developed to probe the compressibility variations diagnostic to NBs in water. NBs in water act as acoustic scatters that reduce the speed of sound relative to the bubble-free water. This decrease in the speed of sound can only be attributed to the existence of gas bubbles due to the strong compressibility dependence that solid nanoparticles lack. The results obtained from the acoustic measurements are compared with the observations from nanoparticle tracking analysis to confirm the existence of NBs in water. SONIC was validated in water with different molalities of NaCl (aq), and in the presence of solid nanoparticles of similar size and concentration to the NBs. SONIC is the first technique that addresses an important bottleneck of NB characterization by providing an accurate and selective characterization on NBs in complex water mixtures that will help understand the behaviour of NBs and accelerate their application in many fields.
Stereogenesis in Organic Addition Reactions: Cram’s Steric Control vs Charge-Transfer Control. A Natural Bond Orbital Analysis
Authors: Cieplak Andrzej
Published: February 2025

In a rudimentary setting of asymmetric induction in the syntheses of acyclic systems, the competing addition reactions may occur at different rates on account of a stereogenic center placed in the immediate vicinity of the addition site. Coming from one side of the mirror, we would usually like one of the competing reactions to be much faster than the other and so the question what features of transition state impede or facilitate bond formation in such settings is a matter of great interest. To address this issue, we have proposed in the past that two effects determine relative stability of the alternative transition states in π-facial selection: Cram’s steric strain, and charge transfer into intrinsically electron deficient incipient bond. Here we model the donor-acceptor interactions of the incipient bond by introducing in common diastereoselection probes a low-lying, vacant NBO orbital that defines two stereogenic parameters, charge-transfer differentials and electron-affinity differentials. To test the model, we examine its explanatory and predictive power vis-à-vis effects of EWG/EDG substitution on the stereochemistry of (i) alkylation and metal hydride reduction of ketones, (ii) oxygenation of alkane C-H bonds, (iii) oxidations and 1,3dipolar cycloadditions of olefins, and (iv) cycloadditions of dienes. Depending on the extent of electronic perturbation of the probe, variation in the available log[Z]/[E] data is a linear function of charge-transfer differentials, a cubic function of electron-affinity differentials, or a function of system’s electron affinity. Thus, the two transition state effects, charge-transfer stabilization and steric-strain destabilization, are indeed necessary and sufficient to account for πfacial selection results in all examined reactions, including nucleophilic addition to C=O. Accordingly, an interplay of vicinal electron donation and steric strain is expected to underlie 1,2-asymmetric induction in related processes.

Authors: Ahmed Tablo Abdulrahim , Ahmed Dilshad Ganjo.
Published: February 2025

Consortia of 4 bacterial and 4 fungal hydrocarbon-utilizing isolates was analyzed in remediation of water
based oil fields. Bio-augmentation experiments (in situ) were tested in 16 triplicates (excluding the control). The results (after two months of bioremediation) showed that; A consortium of isolates of Pseudomonas
fluorescens-LR134300.1 and Aspergillus fumigatus-KU321562 was able to change the pH from strongly alkaline to almost neutral. A consortium of Kocuria rosea-MK648258 and Aspergillus niger-MK452260 isolates showed high biodegradation and high chloride tolerance. A consortium of Pseudomonas fluorescens LR134300.1 and Penicillium chrysogenum-MK696383.1 isolates showed the highest percentage of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) degradation and could degrade/utilize a range of carbon fractions from C6 to C36. A consortium of isolates of Kocuria rosea-MK648258 and Aspergillus flavus-MH270609.1 showed the highest lead-reducing capacity, while Bacillus subtilies-MK000710 and Penicillium chrysogenum
MK696383-KU321. The consortium extracts mineralized petroleum hydrocarbons as the sole source of energy and carbon, with mineralization rates statistically significant (Pandlt;0.05). The results of the Toxicity Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP) test showed that treating the drill cuttings with different consortia of bacterial and fungal strains proved to be a desirable disposal method.
Futuristic Visions and Classical Myths: Nonlinear Time as a Device for Reinterpreting Antique Plots in Dan Simmons’ Novel “Ilium”
Authors: Iliuchenko Mariia
Published: February 2025

Ancient mythology remains an important source of inspiration for contemporary literature, where its plots and images are used to reinterpret universal questions of human existence. In the context of postmodern and metamodern paradigms prioritizing non-linearity, intertextuality, and multi-layered narratives, mythology becomes a tool for examining such fundamental themes as time, space, and fate. The works of Dan Simmons, in particular his Trojan Dylogy, are relevant for study due to the combination of ancient stories with science fiction and the question of the relationship between the past, future and present.

The purpose of the article is to study the interpretation of the passage of time in ancient mythology through the prism of postmodern and metamodern approaches that transform mythological concepts of time and space in Dan Simmons' novel Ilium.

The research uses a comparative analysis of ancient sources and Simmons' works. An interdisciplinary approach is applied, which includes elements of a philosophical study of the mythos in the Ilium, taking into account cultural, historical and social aspects.

In his novels, Dan Simmons creates a unique chronotope where the past, present, and future are intertwined. The Trojan War in his novels takes place in the future under the supervision of the gods of Olympus, while modern people and characters from antiquity interact with each other. A key feature of these novels is the use of the laws of time: non-linear temporal dimensions and the possibility of changing the foreseen future become central themes.

The reinterpretation of classical mythology in modern literature, as exemplified by the works of Dan Simmons, demonstrates the meaning-forming role of ancient stories in the study of complex philosophical topics. Simmons successfully integrates mythological elements into science fiction, allowing us to explore the issues of time, space, and human freedom within postmodern and metamodern discourses.
Anthology of Ukrainian Poetry “Strings” by Bohdan Lepky as a Text in Contextual Reading
Authors: Оvdiichuk Lilia
Published: February 2025

The anthology of Ukrainian poetry «Strings», compiled by Bohdan Lepky, not only became an important literary phenomenon, a text for reading, but also reflected the aesthetic and cultural aspirations of the era. The relevance of the study is determined by the attention of modern literary studies to the formation of the canon of Ukrainian literature. The anthology as a text is a representative of the "golden fund" of national red literature. It is also timely to identify and analyze the contexts of the creation of this meta-genre.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the biographical, historical, literary/literary criticism contexts of the anthology of Ukrainian poetry «Strings» as a meta-genre formation and to reveal the reflection of Bohdan Lepky's literary and cultural priorities.

The author of the article represents the anthology as a text that is a means of creating a thematic and genre canon of literature, a document that testifies to the reception and self-understanding of the compiler's literature. B. Lepky's anthology is considered in historical, literary/literary criticism and biographical contexts. The historical context is the consequences of the First World War, which forced many peaceful Ukrainians to emigrate, and those who fought on the fronts as Russian subjects to acquire the status of prisoners of war. Many of them sought to preserve their national identity, they needed educational books, artistic texts, because they wanted to study, learn their native language, and read their literature. Therefore, the publication of such a book was timely.

The biographical context is revealed through the study of B. Lepky's place of residence and sphere of activity: 20 years of the 20th century, Rastatt, Vetzlar and Berlin. He taught Ukrainian literature in camps for prisoners of war, at teaching courses at the Embassy of the Ukrainian People's Republic and worked in the editorial office of "Ukrainian Word" as a publisher, compiler and commentator of the works of Ukrainian writers. The literary/literary criticism context is the environment in which the book was published: monographs, articles by predecessors, collections of folk songs, existing editions of authors, anthologies.

Reading Bohdan Lepky's anthology through historical, biographical, literary/literary criticism contexts allows us to conclude that this book represents the thematic and genre canon of Ukrainian literature in the author's reception and interpretation.
Imagist Novel’s Poetics: “Bid Me to Live” by H.D.
Authors: Chernokova Yevheniya
Published: February 2025

During its formative years, Imagism hasn’t left any profound theory as far as the criteria for producing new prose. Since then the problem has been under-studied and calls for more in-depth analysis. The paper aims at examining the paradigmatic features of the Imagist lyric narrative of “poetic novel” (S. Spender) taking H.D.’s “Bid Me to Live. Madrigal”as a model. It is emphasized that it is roman à clеf where behind all significant characters are historical prototypes, the main ones of which are Julia Ashton (Hilda Doolittle), Rafe (Richard Aldington) and Rico (D.H. Lawrence). Open form and fragmentation, intertextuality and collaging, “stream of conscience” elements and time shifts et al –– a lot of modernist novel’s features can be found in H.D.’s novel. But unique Imagist poetic techniques for prose are being pointed out in front of the in-famous Modernist prose texts –– V. Woolf’s “Mrs Dalloway” and R. Aldington’s “Death of a Hero”. Narrative’s “vertical structure” (S. Friedman), typical for a lyric novel, focuses on the narrative-transformation of heroine at the moment of her deepest personal crisis both in the life of a woman and an artist against the catastrophic background of the First World War. The novel’s poetics analysis proves that author's narrative strategy lies in searching and finding imagistic correlates of individual images, descriptions and whole scenes-situations. Often, the search process is specifically coming out in order to attract the reader’s attention to it, and the most important images-patterns-situations are repeatedly reiterated. This is the basis of H.D.’s lyric narrative, a kind of Imagist self-madrigal. The poetics of the Imagism prose, adopted from the Imagism poetry, is a search and finding of patterns in their juxtaposition, that interact as coordinating. Throughout the novel, these "patterns" are being transformed into images, reliably providing pictures, emotions, or ideas. The difficult world of Julia opens up exactly via such "patterns", strategically underlined with proleptic and analeptic violations of linear time.

Концептуальна модель емерджентної ефективності на основі «теореми шнурків» як інструмент управління результативністю в органах досудового розслідування
Authors: Гюльмагомедов Денис Олександрович , Гарафонова Ольга Іванівна
Published: February 2025

Запропоновано новий підхід до оцінки ефективності органів досудового розслідування на основі концепції емерджентності та мережевого аналізу ключових показників ефективності органу досудового розслідування. Система ключових показників ефективності розглядається як складна інтегральна система, де виникнення нових властивостей (ефективності) є результатом взаємодії окремих елементів (показників). За допомогою формули площі Г.Мейстера і К.Ф. Гаусса «теорема шнурків» розраховується інтегральний показник ефективності, що дозволяє оцінити загальну результативність системи. Для візуалізації та аналізу співвідношення результату та витрат розроблена геометрична модель. Ключові показники результативності відображаються як точки (кути) многокутника, а витрати – як вписане в нього коло. Різниця між площею многокутника та кола демонструє додаткову ефективність системи від її номінальної ефективності. Запропонована модель заснована на ідеї створення інструмента для керівників правоохоронних органів та їх стейкхолдерів, який дозволяє візуально сприймати і швидко оцінювати ступінь ефективності діяльності організації, збалансованість показників результативності, які досягнуті на відповідний момент часу. Така модель має концептуальну аналогію з: Пентагон-моделлю; П’ятикутною призмою ефективності; Моделлю RADAR (EFQM). Концептуальна модель надає керівникам правоохоронних органів візуальний інструмент оцінки, де площа многокутника результатів, що виступає за межі кола витрат, демонструє додатково створену цінність та характеризує рівень емерджентної ефективності організації. При цьому наближення кутів многокутника до тупих свідчить про вищу збалансованість відповідних показників результативності, тоді як гострі кути вказують на наявність дисбалансу, що потребує управлінського втручання.
Вплив екологічних ризиків, спричинених війною, на фінансовий стан господарств та експортний потенціал

Негативні екологічні фактори впливу, ініційовані ззовні країни, стали для сільгоспвиробників екологічними ризиками, що своєю чергою впливають на фінансові результати підприємств, а отже, є фінансовими ризиками. Непередбачуваність впливу зовнішніх джерел екологічної шкоди та неконтрольованість їх наслідків вимагають відповідних стратегій управління ними для забезпечення прибутковості агропідприємств. Стаття показує негативний вплив екологічних факторів на фінансові результати на прикладі підприємства, що вирощує органічний соняшник на експорт. Проаналізована можливість масштабування зазначених впливів на територіях із найбільшими ураженнями ґрунтів внаслідок ведення воєнних дій, що може позначитися на експортному потенціалі країни. Результати досліджень, проведених у Великобританії, підтвердили вплив деградованих ґрунтів на прибуток господарств за двома сценаріями. Механізм дії зовнішніх джерел екологічної шкоди, за умов війни, полягає у перекладанні економічної відповідальності за «спричинений ззовні» негативний вплив на довкілля, на підприємства та суспільство всередині України. Відсутній правовий механізм відшкодування зазначеної шкоди в міжнародних судових органах та не існує єдиної визнаної методики її обрахунку. Для можливості управління ризиками, пов’язаними із забрудненнями чи деградацією ґрунтів внаслідок ведення воєнних дій, запропонована стратегія, що передбачає постійний моніторинг стану ґрунтів, напрацювання методик відновлення та бази організацій-виконавців відповідно до міжнародних вимог.

Published: February 2025

Bio-ethanol merupakan salah satu biofuel yang digunakan saat ini. Terdapat empat generasi bahan baku untuk memproduksi bio-ethanol. Bio-ethanol generasi 1 (G1) berasal dari gula/pati tanaman, generasi 2 (G2) berasal dari limbah pertanian/perkebunan, generasi 3 (G3) berasal dari alga, dan generasi 4 berasal dari modifikasi genetika tanaman. Bio-ethanol generasi 2 merupakan bio-ethanol yang memiliki prospek terbaik di Indonesia, karena banyaknya limbah industri pertanian dan perkebunan. Namun, realitanya penggunaan bio-ethanol di Indonesia belum berjalan baik. Penggunaan bio-ethanol sebagai bahan bakar masih terkendala masalah biaya. Hal tersebut ditandai dengan gagalnya upaya pemerintah dalam penggunaan bahan bakar bio-ethanol 5% (E5) di 2020. Sehingga saat ini Indonesia baru menerapkan penggunaan bahan bakar bio-ethanol 2% (E2). Salah satu solusi yang dapat digunakan untuk menekan harga bio-ethanol adalah dengan membuat system produksi terintegrasi.
Evaluasi Dampak Proses Retrogression dan Reaging dalam Meningkatkan Ketahanan Korosi pada Material AL7175
Authors: Septianissa Selly
Published: February 2025

Paduan aluminium 7175 dan seri 7xxx lainnya dikenal memiliki ketahanan korosi sumuran yang rendah. Untuk meningkatkan ketahanan korosi sambil mempertahankan kekuatan, penelitian ini menerapkan metode retrogression dan reaging (RAA), yang merupakan perlakuan panas baru untuk paduan aluminium yang mengalami penguatan presipitasi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh proses RAA terhadap ketahanan korosi sebelum anodisasi asam kromat (CAA) pada dua tegangan, yaitu 20 V dan 40 V. Pengujian yang dilakukan meliputi analisis struktur mikro, komposisi kimia, pengujian kekerasan, ketebalan lapisan, dan ketahanan korosi menggunakan metode salt spray testing. Hasil metalografi menunjukkan pembentukan dua fase, yaitu fase MgZn2 yang terdistribusi di dalam butir. Pengujian salt spray selama 500 jam menunjukkan bahwa material yang melalui proses CAA 20 V dan RAA tidak mengalami korosi sumuran, sementara material dengan CAA 40 V menunjukkan 20 pit akibat anodisasi yang kurang baik. Penelitian ini mengindikasikan bahwa presipitat MgZn2 yang terbentuk melalui proses RAA berkontribusi pada peningkatan ketahanan korosi material paduan aluminium 7175.

Published: February 2025

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare two methods for rapid detection of udder pathogens: MicroMastTM rapid plates versus ClearMilk Test. Both methods belong to cultivation laboratory methods for the detection of Gram-positive (staphylococci and streptococci), and Gram-negative bacteria directly under on-farm conditions. During the study, 520 cows were examined on dairy farms localized in the east of Slovakia. Subsequently, 144-quarter milk samples from the positive cows with California mastitis test scores 1–3 underwent laboratory cultivation on both rapid tests. Values obtained from these tests showed the sensitivity of positive samples using the MicroMast test at the level of 84.7% and the sensitivity of the ClearMilk test at the level of 93.1%. After biochemical and protein identification of cultured isolates, the main pathogens present on both rapid tests MicroMast and ClearMilk were identified as Staphylococcus spp. (S. aureus and S. chromogenes) and Streptococcus spp. (Str. bovis). Based on the results, both tests are comparable and therefore they can potentially be used in practice for rapid detection of udder pathogens.

El Zacatonero Cinco Rayas (Amphispizopsis quinquestriata) habita zonas de matorrales xerófilos generalmente arriba de 500 msnm y tiene su distribución más sureña en el área montañosa del norte de Jalisco, con unos pocos registros considerados como accidentales a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico. Realizamos recorridos ornitológicos en la zona de influencia de la Reserva de la Biosfera Chamela-Cuixmala en la costa de Jalisco, México. El 20 de noviembre del 2020 registramos un individuo adulto de Zacatonero Cinco Rayas a una altitud de 26 msnm en el Arroyo Cajones, que presenta una franja de selva mediana subperennifolia rodeada de bosque caducifolio. Realizamos una búsqueda de registros históricos en bases de datos ornitológicas (eBird). Encontramos 17 registros en el estado de Jalisco con 8 fuera de la distribución actual. Esto es el primer registro de la especie para la reserva, lo que puede deberse a la naturaleza discreta de la especie, o un cambio en condiciones del sitio por efecto del cambio climático que la hace más atractiva a la especie. En conjunto, estos registros representan una extensión de su distribución hacia el sur y un cambio en la distribución altitudinal de la especie ya que varios registros se encuentran bajo la cota altitudinal conocida.
Los primeros proyectos de ley enfocados a la construcción de un escenario secular en el estado de Zacatecas, 1827-1835
Authors: Arroyo Monsivais Manuel de Jesús
Published: February 2025

Resumen
El presente trabajo gira en torno a analizar los primeros proyectos de ley que se discutieron en el Congreso del estado de Zacatecas entre los años de 1827 a 1835, los cuales tenían como objetivo una incipiente secularización de los asuntos entre la Iglesia y el Estado. Lo anterior nos llevará a comprender la necesidad de las autoridades civiles para legislar en pro de la construcción de un escenario secular, además de las diversas reacciones del clero católico y las acciones que implementó para contrarrestar el establecimiento de estos proyectos legales. El objetivo del gobierno zacatecano consistía en apropiarse de la administración de los asuntos de la Iglesia y no necesariamente relegar a esta institución al mero ejercicio de su ministerio. Por otro lado, las propuestas seculares del gobierno zacatecano tenían el afán de aumentar su estatus como estado soberano, libre e independiente, y así, separarse definitivamente de la influencia del gobierno del centro, convirtiéndose en un poder regional que estuviera regido bajo sus propias leyes.

Published: February 2025

La ocupación estadounidense afectó la vida de los habitantes del norte tamaulipeco al encontrarse inmersos en un escenario difícil que los orilló a adaptarse a nuevas alternativas de supervivencia y tuvieron que lidiar con las consecuencias que las tropas extranjeras dejaron, luego de su marcha hacia Estados Unidos. La eventual y lenta reorganización administrativa en Tamaulipas, tras la firma del Tratado Guadalupe Hidalgo, influyó en la nueva cotidianidad en el norte de Tamaulipas, manifestándose el cólera, los crímenes, el robo de ganado, las peleas callejeras, y el contrabando en las villas ribereñas con mayor ímpetu. Cabe mencionar que el presente artículo fue elaborado a partir de las fuentes primarias del Catálogo editado por la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas y el Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas titulado: “Guerra Estados Unidos-México 1835-1855”. Destaca también información que encontramos en los documentos resguardados en el Archivo Histórico de Casamata en Matamoros, Tamaulipas.
DOING RIGHT ON JOINT VOE-FINANCIAL INSTITUTION TAXATION: HOW GOOD IS YOUR ACCOUNTING?
Authors: Yasni Raynal , Kuncoro Antonius Ragil
Published: February 2025

Tax Compliance of Joint Village Owned Enterprise-Financial Institution (Joint VoE-FI) requires assistance, considering that this institution has been just established for about two years as a mandate from Government Regulation (PP) Number 11 of 2021. There has been a significant transformation in the management of Joint VoE-FI from a general government into a business entity. Consequently, it will face fiscal risk in the future. This research analyzes how this institution completes tax obligations under limited human resources and how efforts are made to maintain its tax compliance. The narrative research approach, as explained by Elliott (2005), is used to organize a sequence of field events into a whole so that the significance of each event can be understood through its relation to that whole, which is supported by direct observation data on objects, interviews, and document reviews. The research results show that assistance for business entities in fulfilling tax obligations is necessary, considering that human resources in villages still need to be improved. These findings have real-world implications. First, Professionals working in Joint VoE-FIs should continue to invest in their skills and training. Second, policymakers should focus on increasing the capacity of Joint VoE-FIs by providing continuous support through training and educational programs.

Learning media is a teaching aid that educators can use to convey lesson material, increase student creativity, and increase student attention during the learning process. This research examines the effect of implementing interactive learning media based on virtual laboratory on student learning outcomes in force topic at SMP Negeri 1 Gorontalo. This research uses an experimental method, and the research design used is a group pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of this research were 30 students in each class divided into three classes: experimental class, replication 1, and replication 2. The data analysis techniques used are normality, hypothesis, and n-gain tests. The results of the hypothesis testing criteria were T-count ≥ T-table with a level of ∝ = 0.05 for the experimental class, replication 1, and replication 2; therefore, Ho is rejected, and Ha is accepted. This is also supported by the acquisition of the course average normalized gain for all sample classes, both experimental and replication classes, which fall into the high and medium categories in the experimental class (0.71), replication 1 (0.70), and replication 2 (0.66). Data analysis shows that the average post-test score for the experimental and replication classes is higher than the pre-test. This indicates that virtual laboratory media improves student learning outcomes in force topics. This research concludes that using interactive learning media based on virtual laboratories can be an effective alternative for improving the quality of science learning in schools.
State of Others
Authors: Lapidot Elad
Published: February 2025

State of Others: Levinas and Decolonial Israel explores the relations between post-Holocaust Jewish thought and postcolonial thought through the work of Emmanuel Levinas. In the last decade, thinkers have criticized Levinas for his Eurocentrism; however, author Elad Lapidot argues that Levinas anticipated this critique and, from the 1960s onward, began setting the foundations for decolonial Jewish thought-and for decolonial Zionism.State of Others offers an innovative analysis of Levinas's intellectual project as articulated around a turn in the year 1968. This turn relates to the relationship between Judaism and Western civilization. Prior to 1968, Levinas considered the historical Jewish collective, Israel, as the avant-garde of Western humanism. After 1968, with the rise of decolonial discourse, Levinas's concept of Israel shifts roles and becomes the paradigmatic victim of Western imperialism.State of Others demonstrates how Levinas simultaneously developed his dual narratives-before and after the pivotal year of 1968-across his philosophical and Jewish writings, with a special emphasis on the Talmudic Readings. It presents for the first time a cohesive overview of Levinas's writings, both early and late, as interconnected components of a singular intellectual endeavor. The ethical principles concerning the other, as articulated by Levinas, are conceptually linked to his reflections on the State of Israel.

Published: February 2025

In the context of the intense internationalization process of higher education institutions globally, and amid the emergence of the conception of transcultural universities whereas students encounter the complex and multidimensional character of cultural and linguistic diversity, the effectiveness of international students’ cultural adaptation is becoming more salient than ever. In this paper, accordingly, the authors aimed at gaining an insight to foreign students’ cultural and linguistic adaptation process at Russian medical universities. International students from 49 countries were surveyed enabling respondents to elaborate on their intercultural experiences in Russia. Narratives were gathered from foreign students (N = 200) and investigated applying Polkinghorne’s concept of narrative analysis followed by the application of an innovative method, the identification of linguistic lacunas (lexical gaps) between students’ native languages and the Russian language. Linguistic lacunas were identified in 28 cases from the semantic domains of food, national holidays, personality traits, urban and rural areas, restaurants, nature, communication, transportation, local government, habits, events, and artifacts. 97% of respondents were able to evoke a best experience in Russia, that shed light on the following major thematic groups: travel, friends, cuisine, local events, and university. Worst experiences were revealed by 84,5% of students – those originated from the domains of language, cultural differences, weather, infrastructure, unpleasant events, racism, discrimination, and bureaucracy. 50,5% of respondents were parts of an intercultural misunderstanding or conflict, mostly due to the language barrier, discrimination, bad behavior of locals, lack of cultural knowledge, and racism. Results of the study can be effectively utilized primarily in the preparation of and assistance to international students in Russia to alleviate their cultural adaptation process by enhancing their intercultural awareness and transcultur

Published: February 2025

Indonesia is facing a severe issue of child malnutrition with high rates of stunting among toddlers, particularly in coastal areas like Pulau Osi Maluku. Stunting is caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a long period. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia remains high, although it is decreasing. Preventive efforts include promoting the habit of eating vegetables, providing health education to parents, and developing hydroponics as a solution for vegetable supply in areas with limited land. Education and collaboration between the government and the community are crucial in addressing stunting and improving the quality of life for children in coastal areas. The research was conducted in Pulau Osi Hamlet, Maluku, using purposive sampling with mothers as subjects. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, utilizing both primary and secondary data. Data collection was carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was done using qualitative methods to describe the research findings systematically. In Pulau Osi Hamlet, efforts to combat stunting and meet vegetable needs were undertaken through education using the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) method, involving 35 participants. Vegetable consumption patterns varied and were influenced by knowledge, education, and the availability of vegetables. Land and supply limitations posed challenges. The hydroponic solution increased vegetable availability, diversified food options, and promoted community self-sufficiency. Collaboration between the government and the community was vital. The results were evident from the healthy growth of vegetable plants and successful harvests. This initiative successfully improved knowledge, self-sufficiency, and food security in Pulau Osi Hamlet, helping to address stunting and improve vegetable consumption patterns.
