This article deals with narratives from northern Sweden about the Spanish flu pandemic (1918–1920). There are about 50 narratives collected between ca. 1950 and 1980. All of them were elicited in interviews: some were told in interaction with two or more informants, some are told by one informant in interaction with the interviewer, and some are monologues. There are different interviewers. The interviews have not been planned or conducted in a systematic and consistent way, or with a purpose to investigate the informants’ experiences of the Spanish flu. Rather, the main purpose seems to have been to elicit stories about “the old days”. Drawing on linguistic choices from the material as a whole, this article discusses the informants’ notion of the pandemic and their conceptions of etiology. The article concludes that the most conspicuous feature is what is not mentioned by any informant, namely the word influenza. Further, the Spanish flu clearly belongs to a past era that has no resemblance to modern society. It was an era characterized by suffering, poor sanitary conditions and starvation. As well, the article briefly discusses the critique of medical humanities and the study of illness narratives for the lack of systematic analyses and syntheses of how these are constructed in general.
Akademiska handlag
Authors: Löfgren Orvar , Ehn Billy
Published: February 2024

This special issue looks at everyday life in Academia. While paradigm shifts, university management, research policies and other “big” issues often are discussed, the papers here explore a less analyzed field: the routines and micro-rituals of scholarly life that demand that you learn a special touch or academic savoir-faire. It can be about how people learn to structure a paper, to surf the internet, or how to organize material on the hard disk or maintain some kind of order in the office. How do you learn to participate in a seminar discussion, handle the rituals of academic gossiping or take critique? There are also the many skills of interacting with changing media and tools. When is the pencil preferred to the laptop and how do you use visual material in lectures? Many such methods have slowly become invisible over time, and are no longer seen as parts of the theoretical and methodological baggage scholars carry with them. The ways different generations of scholars acquire everyday working routines are often experienced as very personal – “my style of doing things” – but there are subtle cultural processes of learning involved here as the various papers demonstrate. So many academic skills, routines and rules are never found in research handbooks or statements of learning goals. It is acquired knowledge, resting more in the body than in the brain, working as reflexes rather than conscious actions. The fact that they are often seen as personal habits, or are just taken for granted and not problematized, also means that they may carry hidden charges of power and authority.

Critical thinking is one of the most highly respected scientific ideals in the academic life. But when it is practiced, for example in reviewing written texts, it is not always experienced as a good thing. It hurts to be criticised. Therefore this practice will for sure generate dissonant feelings, both in those who are giving critique and in those who are receiving it. In order to manage the ambivalence both parties have to learn a cultural competence for presenting and accepting critical viewpoints as a usable gift.
Konsten att ignorera och välja bort
Authors: Löfgren Orvar
Published: February 2024

In Academia archives, office desks and filing cabinets are bursting with material, hard disks are overloaded and calling for more memory space. This paper looks at the routines of selective knowledge. How do scholars learn to decide what is important or not, irrelevant or worth knowing in a given setting and how do we get at such skills that often sink into the unconscious? The focus is on everyday practices of academic work, how people gradually develop routines for handling information, collecting materials or learning to ignore and forget as well. How does one acquire the motoric dexterity of rifling through a filing cabinet, skimming Google pages, deleting emails, or judging a book by holding in it one’s hands? The power of such everyday routines comes from the ways that academic norms and hierarchies are hidden in what seems as nothing more than “the way we do things here”.

Umeå is appointed the European capital of culture in 2014, a position that was gained partly through putting forward Sami culture and northern Sweden as unique components of Europe. The year offers a variety of possibilities for Sami actors and Sami society to make visible Sami culture, traditions and society. However, it also implies the risk of being used by others in the marketing of a city and of the northern region of Sweden. In this article, the challenge of representation is addressed through the theoretical concept of strategic essentialism. The text identifies problems related to the lack of genuine Sami participation and influence in the process of Umeå2014 and, in the long run, in other societal contexts.

Published: February 2024

Wide area networks such as fog and internet of things often encounter network level security. There would exist a continued trade-off between the error rate (authentication metric), system overhead, computational complexity and latency of the system. Hence an extremely meticulous system design with appropriate choice of stochastic parameters and authentication scheme should be adopted. In this proposed work, an acceleration learning based LSTM network has been proposed to detect attacks in IoT networks. It can be observed from the obtained results that the proposed system attains better performance compared to previously existing system. The performance enhancement can be attributed to additional features computed and the LSTM with acceleration used to train and further detect errors. Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT), Network Level Security, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, Accuracy, Gateway Utility.

Are Differing Viewpoints Amongst Key Actors Influencing Implementation of Key Eu Marine Environmental Policies? Case Of Strictly Protected Areas
Authors:   University of St Andrews, School of Geography and Sustainable Development, Irvine Building, North Street, St Andews KY16 9AL, Scotland, United Kingdom, Gorjanc Sašo
Published: February 2024

The transboundary nature of marine ecosystems and their more difficult accessibility create challenges for the conceptualisation of effective marine conservation, because of the compleity of the marine functioning and often unclear competences. Marine conservation thus often relies on (international) policies. The EU environmental policies are known for their high ambition levels. However, their implementation has been subpar so far. This study investigates the viewpoints of marine nature, wilderness, and strict protection in the EU seas and whether those help eplain why the implementation of EU marine environmental policies has been incoherent and uncoordinated so far. The viewpoints and nature imaginaries were investigated amongst key actors in policy implementation from national to the EU and Regional Sea Conventions levels, using policy analysis, diagramming, and Living Q workshops. The results show a variety of divergent viewpoints that frame marine issues in different ways, resulting in different interpretations of common policies and definitions, as well as a variety of policy implementation priorities. The variety of different values associated with marine nature, wilderness, and the role of EU policies is thus likely to influence the way common EU policies will be implemented in the future and by etension their effectiveness.

The sea wave in the Romanian coastal area generates the wave propagation patterns inside the Romanian sea ports, with specific dynamics influenced by the dominant wind directions and the configuration of the port basins. In this contet, a Bousinesq-type numerical model application was considered appropriate to study the wave dynamics in Constanta seaport and also inside the entrance channel of Constanta-South port.
The hydrological processes in the internal access channels of a port may determine the need for a more detailed description of the hydrodynamic processes affecting the port operations. The results obtained as part of the simulations using BOUSS2D model on the waves propagation in the basin of the port of Constanta – South’s access channel, have been analyzed comparatively, against in situ video observations and UAV’s measurements.
The results of the present study include a comple research process, related to the numerical approach, as well as the approach related to filed measurements and observation activities, for an accurate knowledge of the hydrodynamic induced processes, given the considerable variability for the parameters involved. It also gives some recommendations for the use of technological solutions for the etension of the protected areas in the vicinity of sea ports, enclosed by breakwaters, and the front of the inner quays of the ports.

Tintinnids are tiny ciliates from microzooplankton that are very important due to their implication in the microbial food web and for the fact that in the last two decades a considerable number of non-indigenous species have entered and acclimatized in the Black Sea basin. The paper presents the species diversity and dynamic of microzooplanktonic tintinnids’ abundance as a result of two cruises carried out in May-June and August-September 2021, along the Romanian Black Sea coast. We identified 23 tintinnid species in total, with a higher diversity in the surface layer compared to those of depth. The species Eutintinnus sp. and Salpingella decurtata were found eclusively in the 10 m layer. Tintinnopsis cylindrica represented 74% of the mean biomass of tintinnid’s community from May-June, the best quantitative representation recorded in the Romanian coast's northern sector. Amphorellopsis acuta represented 91% of the mean biomass of tintinnid’s community in August-September. The biotic component was also correlated with temperature and salinity to give more information regarding spatial and temporal variations from one area to the other. The findings contribute to the knowledge of microzooplankton communities in the Romanian Black Sea region. The data on species composition, abundance distribution, and environmental correlations enhance our understanding of the ecological dynamics and potential ecological implications of tintinnid communities. This study brings valuable information to the understanding of the microzooplankton component in the Black Sea ecosystem.
The ‘conflict economy’of sesame in Ethiopia and Sudan: How the sector has become entangled in local and transnational conflict, and how policymakers need to respond
Authors: Soliman Ahmed
Published: February 2024

The sesame trade is no longer just a mainstay of local livelihoods in Ethiopia and Sudan. Amid civil war and territorial rivalry on both sides of the border, it now plays a central role in a conflict economy that perpetuates violence and political instability. Competition to control sesame revenues has reshaped local agricultural markets, and provided a strategic motivation for conflict participants and members of political and economic elites. If left unaddressed, these shifts threaten to prolong and intensify conflict and worsen the inequalities faced by people living in the border regions. This research paper explains how the sesame industry is connected to, and interacts with, both internal and transnational conflict dynamics affecting Ethiopia and Sudan. It also offers recommendations to help policymakers in Ethiopia and Sudan, as well as regional and international partners such as the UK, respond.
Diastolic dysfunction due to bedaquiline: A case report
Authors: Bwalya Ireen
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background

There is no published case of diastolic dysfunction arising due to bedaquiline treatment for Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Diastolic dysfunction is not listed as a potential complication of treatment with bedaquiline. This case report is the first to link bedaquiline to diastolic dysfunction. Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication, and ensure that patients are monitored and investigated appropriately.

Case Presentation

A 47 year old female presented with fever, productive cough and drenching night sweats for more than 2 weeks prior to presentation. There was no hemoptysis, chest pains or weight loss. She however, felt breathless after a heavy bout of coughing.  Fever was intermittent, and most pronounced at night. The patient denied any weight loss over the past month. The patient had no history of HIV, diabetes, hypertension or  heart disease. There were no previous episodes of TB. There was history of contact with a patient with MDR-TB patient. The patients’ son, who shared a house and all living spaces with the patient, was being treated for MDR-TB at the time of presentation. The patient did not drink or smoke. There was no history of illicit drug use. She worked as a restaurant manager.  Due to the history of very close contact with MDR-TB, the patient was commenced on the longer, oral only regimen for MDR-TB which includes bedaquiline. Four weeks after commencement of bedaquiline, the patient complained that both feet were swelling.  There were no other symptoms or signs of cardiovascular disease. An Echocardiogram done during the fifth month showed an ejection fraction of 71% and diastolic dysfunction. The patient was commenced on diuretics and continued on MDR-TB treatment. An echocardiogram that was repeated at month 15 review showed an ejection fraction of 64%, normal left ventricle and normal systolic and diastolic function.

Conclusions

Diastolic Dysfunction has not previously been reported in patients on bedaquiline. This is the first case report to link bedaquiline to diastolic dysfunction. More studies need to be done to determine conclusively whether bedaquiline can cause diastolic dysfunction.

A Modified Approach to the Rack Generation of Beveloid Gears
Authors: Şentürk Berat Gürcan , Fetvacı Mahmut Cüneyt
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this paper is to present an easier and more efficient method for the determination of the geometry of a bevelled gear tooth. Based on a method that provides an easier way for the rack generation of involute helical gears, the mathematical model of a beveloid gear is studied. The mathematical procedure for developing two-dimensional cross-sections has been extended to three-dimensional gear models. A computer programme is developed to obtain generating and generated surfaces. The proposed algorithm is compared with the previous studies for verification and validation. The results demonstrate that the coordinates obtained from the given method are nearly the same on the start and end points of the main gear parts, such as the involute and root fillets regions. Also, between the limits, the values can be considered acceptable. A coordinate deviation of the gear profile has been observed in the mathematical model, because of the profile shift. Modifications have been developed in the equations to eliminate these cases. The main advantage of the proposed method is to obtain mathematical models without carrying out some of the calculation steps used in previous studies. Eventually, this feature will provide an easier and faster method to develop computer-aided models of the beveloid gear types.
“In Rome, in Paris, / in Moscow, in Berlin, in London, and in Budapest”: Antal Németh and the European Theatre
Authors: Porogi Dorka
Published: February 2024

In this paper, I outline Antal Németh’s career from the perspective of his international connections. Németh was the director-manager of the Hungarian National Theatre between 1935 and 1944. His whole career was significantly shaped by his interest in European theatre and his connections with the international theatrical scene. Renowned foreign directors and theatre influencers served as his role models in the 1920s and 1930s, and his academic performance in the international sphere contributed significantly to his directorial career in his homeland. Following World War II, during the era of state socialism in Hungary, he had to give up his leading position in Hungary’s cultural life. He lost some connections, and his ability to keep contact with the remaining ones was limited. Nonetheless, he maintained a deep interest in scholarly literature and Western theatrical influences.
The Self-Definitions of the Hungarian Minority in Vojvodina in the Performances of the Tanyaszínház (Grange Theatre)
Authors: Oláh Tamás
Published: February 2024

The Hungarian travelling theatre company named Tanyaszínház (Grange Theater) was founded in 1978 in Yugoslavia, and it has not stopped since. In their performances, one can observe how successive political systems generated social issues that also affected minorities. These issues are not presented as historical facts but rather as everyday realities on stage. Their productions, which are given in villages and small towns, serve as prisms that directly reflect social experiences back to the community. From the history of the company’s performances, one can discern the infinitely complex narratives of self-definition for the Hungarian minority in Vojvodina (North Serbia), spanning from the late 1970s to the present day. Over the last four and a half decades, they have not only thematized the process of self-identification of the Hungarian community in the province but have also participated in it.

El artículo analiza en profundidad los conceptos de cultura y civilización considerando la cultura, como el conjunto de instituciones, ideas, creencias, realizaciones técnicas y artísticas de una comunidad. Por tanto, los habitantes de la América precolombina, según esta definición eran depositarios de una brillante cultura. Por civilización, que en el tiempo que se va a historiar se llamaba «policía», se entenderá el conjunto de normas de conducta y de gobierno, escritas o no escritas, incluyendo el derecho público y privado, que procuran la convivencia pacífica y productiva de los hombre. Es decir, el conjunto de normas que dan su forma a las sociedades humanas y las diferencian de las de otros animales gregarios. La iglesia Católica desarrolló su proceso de la evangelización en Ultramar inmerso en el momento de choque frontal de las dos civilizaciones, en el que una domina a la otra, no solo en el arte de la guerra, sino en el de las técnicas de producción de bienes.

Eastern philosophy arose simultaneously with ancient philosophy. They are similar in genesis and issues, but differ from each other in the type of philosophizing. This is what became the determining factor in further development. In turn, this fact became the basis for believing that the philosophies of the East and the West are opposite to each other. This is not unreasonable, since there are differences in certain spheres of life: system, moral principles, culture, worldview

Analyzing parents' perceptions of participation in school education
Authors:   Association for Studies in Parents and Guardians, Cho Young-hee , Park Jeong-woo
Published: February 2024

Parents' participation in school education has recently been promoted in a policy and has spread in the school field, and interest in the parent association has also become the main focus. However, contrary to the high interest of parents in participating in school education, relatively few studies have sought what parents want in school and how to properly participate in school education activities. This study aims to comprehensively examine the participation of parents in school education, the desirable role of the parent association, and the results that parents want from the school or office of education. To this end, a survey was conducted in June 2023, and the response data of a total of 334 parent monitor groups operated by the Office of Education A were analyzed. The contents of the survey include overall participation in parent school education, the main purpose and necessity of participation in parent school education, the desirable role of the parent association, and the perception of support or projects desired by the Office of Education. For item analysis, difference verification and cross-analysis were conducted at the school level. The results of the research are as follows. First, the perception that parents are the subject of school education, communication and collaboration between parents, and the degree of agreement on the sufficiency of parents' participation in school education were relatively low. Second, presentation and cooperation on school management, and monitoring of school education were derived as the main purpose and necessity of participating in school education. Third, the desirable role of the parent association was to conduct and participate in parent demand surveys and to organize various school education participation activities. Fourth, support or projects desired by schools or offices of education generally showed strengthening parent capabilities (training, education, etc.) and expanding parent networks. Fifth, there was no significant difference in parents' perception of participation in school education by school level. Based on this, implications for participation in parent education were discussed.
ASSESSING THE LEGALITY AND IMPACT OF ANTI-SMOG DRONES IN POLAND’S AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Authors: Balcerzak Tomasz , Sieradzka Małgorzata , Kostur Katarzyna , Rajchel Jan
Published: February 2024

This study addresses the critical issue of winter air pollution, characterized by smoke that causesrespiratory irritation and health issues like shortness of breath, dizziness and eye irritation. Theprimary focus is on the inefficacy of traditional, human-conducted inspections in identifyingsources of smog and air pollution. These methods are limited by the inability to measure emissionsaccurately without specialized equipment and the restricted range of inspection due to groundlevelperspectives. The paper proposes the integration of drones equipped with advanced sensortechnologies as a solution for comprehensive and efficient air quality monitoring (Sokhi, 2022).These drones can accurately assess emissions from sources like chimneys in real time and at a largerscale. The implementation of such technology not only enhances the effectiveness of anti-smogmeasures but also serves as a deterrent, increasing public awareness about constant environmentalmonitoring. The study advocates for the adoption of these unmanned aerial vehicles as a supporttool for local governments in the fight against air pollution, suggesting a transformative approachto environmental regulation and control.This study addresses the critical issue of winter air pollution, characterized by smoke that causesrespiratory irritation and health issues like shortness of breath, dizziness and eye irritation. Theprimary focus is on the inefficacy of traditional, human-conducted inspections in identifyingsources of smog and air pollution. These methods are limited by the inability to measure emissionsaccurately without specialized equipment and the restricted range of inspection due to groundlevelperspectives.

The survival of our societies has always depended on overcoming the multiple crises they have faced throughout history. Major crises, such as the climate crisis, are accompanied by conjunctural ones, such as the CORONA VIRUS pandemic or the economic crises that hit humanity regularly, the effects of which do not add up, but multiply. A major challenge for our civilization, overcoming these multiple crises requires the mobilization of all resources - economic, social, political and human - to anticipate, manage and avoid them. For imagining solutions and anticipating shocks, the capacity for innovation and adaptation allows understanding the deep springs of the situation through the essential role played by science and technology. The question that arises is whether our societies, in order to avoid catastrophe, must ask for the help of science and technology, without changing their way of life, or whether political action in its relations with science will constitute a favourable ground for the foundation an effective action to collectively solve the current challenges in order to achieve more democracy.

Background: Somatostatin (SOMATO) administration affects hepatic blood flow (HBF); however, its clinical effect remains ill-defined. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical effects of SOMATO administration on HBF during major abdominal surgery by comparing HBF in patients with and without intra-operative SOMATO admin-istration.

Methods: This retrospective analysis used data from two separate prospective studies including patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and was approved by the Ghent University Hospital ethical committee. All patients received total intravenous an-esthesia, using target-controlled infusion, and guided by a depth of anesthesia monitor. Schnider model was used for propofol, and Minto model was used for remifentanil. All patients received goal-directed hemodynamic therapy guided and recorded by Pul-sioFlex monitoring (Getinge Group). Portal vein blood flow and arterial hepatic blood flow were measured using ultrasound transit time flow measurements (Medi-Stim®). Both PVF and HAF were indexed using cardiac index. Patients were divided in two groups, receiving SOMATO (group S) versus control group not receiving SOMATO (group C). The Shapiro-Wilk test was used for testing normal distribution. Statistical testing was done using a Welch T-test or a Wilcoxon test.

Results: From 6/2017 to 10/2020, a total of thirty-seven patients were analyzed. Twenty-five patients received SOMATO (group S) whereas twelve patients did not (group C). In Group S, PVFi was significantly reduced in patients receiving SOMATO compared to the control group (p = 0.005). HAFi was similar in both groups. The net effect on total HBFi was significantly lower in group S (p = 0.027). Hemodynamic parameters did not differ between both groups.

Conclusions: SOMATO significantly reduced PVFi in the surgical patients while HAFi remained similar in both groups. As a result, total HBFi was significantly lower in SO-MATO-treated patients.
