Authors: Nakanishi Yoko , Kunihiro Noritsugu , Umaba Ryoko , Matsusaka Yasuhiro , Inoue Takeshi , Sakamoto Hiroaki
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Limited dorsal myeloschisis (LDM) and intramedullary infantile hemangioma rarely coexist in the spinal cord.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors describe the case of a 3-month-old girl who, despite lacking neurological symptoms or signs, had a cigarette burn-like mark at the lumbosacral area and skin dimpling in the gluteal area. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a low-set conus due to a thickened filum and an abnormal subcutaneous stalk connected to the conus medullaris. In combination with the skin lesions, these findings strongly implied nonsaccular-type LDM. An intramedullary mass in the conus medullaris was also shown on magnetic resonance imaging and was homogenously enhanced with isointensity on T1- and T2-weighted images. We prophylactically untethered the spinal cord and partially removed the intramedullary mass, which had no clear borders, for a safe surgical dissection. Histologically, the intramedullary mass was an infantile hemangioma, and the subcutaneous stalk was a lesion associated with LDM. The patient remained neurologically intact after surgery, and then 2 years later, there was spontaneous regression of the residual tumor.

LESSONS

Although rare, nonsaccular type LDM may appear concurrently with intramedullary infantile hemangioma at the conus medullaris. The authors present a possible mechanism behind this concurrent presentation in the same area.
Surgical management of Hirayama disease in a pediatric patient presenting with severe cervical kyphosis and focal myelopathy: illustrative case
Authors: Kurland David B. , Neifert Sean , Khan Hammad , Lau Darryl
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Hirayama disease (HD) is a rare, nonfamilial neuromuscular disease causing cervical myelopathy and deformity, most commonly effecting pubertal Asian males. Patients whose nonoperative treatment fails and who cannot tolerate long-term cervical immobilization, experience relapse after arrest of symptoms, or present with severe features warrant surgical treatment. Here, the authors present an unusual case of HD that resulted in rapid progression of severe cervical kyphosis and discuss surgical management strategies.

OBSERVATIONS

A 15-year-old male presented with unprovoked neck pain, progressive chin-on-chest phenomenon, and cervical myelopathy. Imaging revealed a severe subaxial cervical kyphosis of 88° and severe spinal cord compression secondary to changes within the thecal sac, ligaments, and bony elements. He underwent a multistage surgery involving halo gravity traction, C3–6 anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, and C2 to T2 posterior instrumented fusion with C3–5 Smith-Petersen osteotomies. Cervical subaxial pedicle screws facilitated deformity correction through a cantilever technique.

LESSONS

HD is rare and often self-limited. For severe or refractory cases of HD, guidelines for surgical management have been suggested, with a variety of approaches deemed efficacious. This is the first case of a patient presenting with such severe cervical deformity; early diagnosis and recognition is the first step toward prompt, adequate management.

Reducing Foreign Presence In The Russian Manufacturing Industry: The Results Of 2022 And The Immediate Prospects
Authors: Kalinin Alexey
Published: April 2023

The withdrawal of foreign companies from the Russian market due to a change in the political situation has been a new trend for the Russian economy. The study shows that the actual scale of closure of foreign legal entities is insignificant, and even smaller than in previous years: the maximum number of legal entities was closed during 2018-2019. With that, until 2021, there were no noticeable differences in behavior between Russian and foreign companies, no intentions to reduce or limit their activities. Given the time it takes to comply with regulatory requirements for company closures, the decisions announced in 2022 are likely to affect the exit statistics of foreign organizations in 2023-2024. In addition, a possible future change in the behavior of foreign owners, in the form of restrictions or suspension of activities without the formal closure of companies will require a separate study, based on the results of 2022-2023.

Children with repaired congenital heart diseases (CHD) have low physical activity that causes a decrease in cardiorespiratory endurance. This is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular events. Physical exercises are recommended for children and adolescents with repaired CHD at all stages of rehabilitation after surgery. The purpose — to assess the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation program in children with repaired congenital heart diseases. Material and methods. 96 patients aged 8–13 years with repaired non-cyanotic CHD without obstructive heart lesions were studied. The children of the main group completed a physical exercise program and took ubidekarenone for a month twice a year. The children of the comparison group took only ubidecarenone. The cardiovascular system functioning was assessed in all subjects with the treadmill exercise test using the modified Bruce protocol. Results. After rehabilitation, the children of the main group had higher maximum systolic blood pressure, inotropic reserve, chronotropic reserve, work done, maximum double product and its reserve than the children of the comparison group. There was a decrease in the resting heart rate and a decrease in the time to restore the heart rate after the exercise test. In the main group, more children than in the comparison group had a normotonic type of hemodynamic reaction to physical exercise after completing the rehabilitation program. The functions of the cardiovascular system increased in 87.5%, 42/48 (p < 0.001) children of the main group and in 25.0%, 12/48 children of the comparison group. Conclusion. The rehabilitation program using physical exercises and ubidecarenone had a positive effect on the functional state of the cardiovascular system in children with repaired CHD.

High density of the mammary gland, determined with the digital mammography method, is an independent risk factor for mammary gland cancer (MGC). Prescription of combined oral contraceptives, menopausal hormone therapy drugs, intrauterine system with levonorgestrel, and ovulation induction may lead to an increase of mammary gland density (MGD). The latest research showed that the insulin-like growth factor is also a risk factor for mammary gland density. In the Republic of Tatarstan, out of 265,217 examined women, a high mammary gland density was diagnosed in 7%, including in patients older than 60 y. o. Notably, in the overwhelming majority of them the density did not decrease during 3 years of monitoring. This testifies to the need of prolonged monitoring of mammary glands in patients, combined with estimation and correction of risk factors for mammary gland density.

The purpose — to improve the effectiveness of treatment of diabetic foot patients with cardiovascular disorders. Material and methods. 782 patients with diabetic foot (DF) were under observation. 4 groups were identified: group 1 — VAC therapy was used; group 2 — ultrasonic cavitation; group 3 — modern dressings were used for treatment; group 4 — with a standard treatment. Low doses of statins were used (atorvastatin 10–20 mg/day or rosuvastatin 5–10 mg/day) in 213 patients (27.2%) and 89 patients (11.4%) received moderate or high doses of statins (atorvastatin 40–80 mg/day or rosuvastatin 20 mg/day) in combination with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) preparations (750–1750 mg/day). Results. In the low-dose statin subgroup, the rate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels reduction averaged 17.6 (5.6) % of the initial values; triglycerides, respectively, 12.3 (3.5) % of the initial values; that was statistically significantly lower than in the moderate/high dose statin plus UDCA subgroup of 32.9 (5.4) % and 18.7 (3.2) %, respectively, all p<0.001. In group 1, the average duration of hospital stay and the percentage of postoperative complications were statistically significantly lower in patients who received lipid-lowering therapy (28.5 (3.6) days and 8.8 (2.9) %), compared with those who did not receive this treatment (34.0 (2.8) days and 13.1 (2.6) %); p < 0.001. Similar differences in the length of hospital stay and the percentage of postoperative complications, depending on the lipid-lowering therapy, also occurred in groups 2, 3, and 4 (p < 0.001). Conclusions. The use of lipid-lowering therapy, including moderate / high doses of statins in combination with UDCA, contributed to a decrease in the length of hospital stay and a decrease in the incidence of postoperative complications in all groups of patients with DF.

Published: April 2023

The purpose — to study the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the components of the metabolic syndrome, stage of steatosis and liver fibrosis in young men with and without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Material and methods. The prospective study included 123 young male patients. Participants were divided into two groups: group I — persons with hepatic steatosis (n = 91), group II — persons without hepatic steatosis (n = 32). Patients in each group were divided into two subgroups (a and b): receiving (a) and not receiving (b) cholecalciferol. All persons who applied for an outpatient appointment underwent an anamnesis, measurement of blood pressure, assessment of anthropometric parameters, physical examination, biochemical analysis of blood on an empty stomach, and the level of 25(OH)D in blood serum was determined. The degreeы of steatosis and fibrosis were verified by liver elastometry. Results. Analysis of vitamin D availability in young men showed the predominance of its deficiency in the group of men with NAFLD in comparison with their peers without liver pathology. The normal level of 25(OH)D against the background of hepatic steatosis was 7 times less common. With the normalization of the level of vitamin D in the group with NAFLD and reaching its level of 49.05 ng/ml, the level of fasting insulin, the HOMA-IR index, the level of AST, and the degree of liver steatosis reliably decreased. Upon reaching the level of vitamin D up to 52.8 ng/ml in persons without NAFLD, the level of fasting glucose and total cholesterol significantly decreased. Conclusion. Timely detection of insufficient supply of vitamin D and its normalization in young men with NAFLD and in its absence allows implementing a strategy for the primary prevention of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases.

The relationship was studied between the rs10492972 polymorphism of the KIF1B gene and the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), clinical phenotype of disease and response to disease modifying drugs (DMD) treatment in the patient’s population of Tomsk region. The study group included 152 patients; the control group consisted of 689 healthy volunteers. The results showed the impact of the risk allele C of KIF1B (rs10492972) gene polymorphism on the progressive forms of MS development (especially on primary progressive MS), and the relationship of the T allele with an early onset and relapsing-remitting course. The risk allele C also showed an association with the lack of response to second-line DMD therapy. The results of our study confirmed the association of the KIF1B (rs10492972) gene’s allele C with an unfavorable course of MS.

Bone mineralization is significantly smaller in preterm infants than in full-term infants. This poses a risk of a frequent complication — preterm infant osteopenia. Despite improvements in approaches to nutritional support and standard care, osteopenia is still a problem affecting at least 20% of preterm infants discharged from hospitals. The article presents a systematic review of the modern evidences related to the impact of early physical activity and massage on the prevention and treatment of osteopenia in this group of patients.

The article presents a description of a clinical case of the appearance of characteristic ECG signs of Brugada syndrome type 1 in the form of incomplete blockade of the right bundle branch block, «convex» ST elevation of 2 mm and negative symmetrical T-wave inversion in V1-V2 in a practically healthy patient after a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). On the control ECG performed a week later, these signs reduced to a latent form. However, there is an assumption that the Brugada syndrome in a woman had existed in a latent form, and against the background of COVID-19, it transformed into its active variant. Unfortunately, we do not have data on how long these signs were present on the ECG, as the ECG was recorded a week after COVID-19. The clinical case we demonstrate shows a possible relationship between the transient nature of type 1 Brugada syndrome and COVID-19, which requires further study. The article also provides examples of other clinical cases of the appearance of signs of Brugada syndrome on the ECG in patients with COVID-19 according to various literature data.
Correlation coefficient for Neutrosophic Z-Numbers and its applications in decision making
Authors: Karabacak Mesut
Published: April 2023

The correlation coefficient (CC) is a well-known functional information measures used to measure the interrelationship between uncertain, fuzzy sets. The use of neutrosophic sets (NS) in decision making has been increasing in recent times. Many studies have been considered to calculate the CC of NSs. These approaches assess only the strength of relationship between PNSs, and are described within the interval [0, 1]. However, the inclusion of the reliability level of the data in the process is very important for the final decision. Therefore, neutrosophic Z-Number sets (NZNS) has been defined for this purpose, which are not only provide an assessment of the data but also take into account their confidence level. In this study, we define a correlation coefficient for NZNSs (CCNZNS) by employing the notions of mean, variance and covariance, and discuss some of its properties. This new approach defines correlation in the interval [–1, 1] similar to classical statistics, and indicates whether the NZNSs are either positively or negatively correlated. Then, two decision models are developed for the NZNS universe. In order to determine the partial known attribute weights, a maximizing optimization technique is derived which is taking into account both the objective and subjective aspects of assessments. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed models, the first model is applied for solving a medical diagnostic problem. Then the performance evaluation process is chosen to demonstrate the application of the second model. Finally, the superior aspects of the developed models over other existing models are presented with a comparison and discussion analysis. The study is concluded with the conclusion part.
Textual entailment classification using syntactic structures and semantic relations
Authors: Nishy Reshmi S. , Shreelekshmi R.
Published: April 2023

In this paper, we propose a method exploiting syntactic structure, semantic relations and word embeddings for recognizing textual entailment. The sentence pairs are analyzed using their syntactic structure and categorization of sentences in active voice, sentences in passive voice and sentences holding copular relations. The main syntactic relations such as subject, verb and object are extracted and lemmatized using a lemmatization algorithm based on parts-of-speech. The subject-to-subject, verb-to-verb and object-to-object similarity is identified using enhanced Wordnet semantic relations. Further similarity is analyzed using modifier relation, number relation, nominal modifier relation, compound relation, conjunction relation and negative relation. The experimental evaluation of the method on Stanford Natural Language Inference dataset shows that the accuracy of the method is 1.4% more when compared to the state-of-the-art zero shot domain adaptation methods.

Authors: Li Weidong , Yu Yongbo , Meng Fanqian , Duan Jinlong , Zhang Xuehai
Published: April 2023

Some subtle features of planting structures in irrigation areas could only be visible on high-resolution panchromatic spectral images. However, low spatial resolution multispectral image makes it hard to recognize them. It is challenging to accurately obtain crop planting structure when using traditional methods. This paper proposes an extraction method of crop planting structure based on image fusion and U-Net depth semantic segmentation network, which can automatically and accurately extract multi-category crop planting structure information. This method takes Landsat8 commercial multispectral satellite data set as an example, chooses RGB pseudo-color synthetic image which highlights vegetation characteristics, and uses HLS(Hue, Luminance, Saturation), NND(Nearest-Neighbor Diffusion) and G-S(Gram-Schmidt) methods to fuse panchromatic band to obtain 15m high-resolution fusion image to obtain training set and test set, six types of land features including cities and rivers were labeled by manual to obtain the verification set. The training and validation sets are cut and enhanced to train the U-Net semantic segmentation network. Taking the Xiaokaihe irrigation area in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China, as an example, the planting structure was classified, and the overall accuracy was 87.7%, 91.2%, and 91.3%, respectively. The accuracy of crop planting structures (wheat, cotton, woodland) was 74.2%, 82.5%, 82.3%, and the Kappa coefficient was 0.832, 0.880, and 0.881, respectively. The results showed that the NND-UNet method was suitable for large-scale continuous crop types (wheat, cotton), and the GS-UNet method had a better classification effect in discrete areas of cash crops (Jujube and many kinds of fruit trees).

Published: April 2023

The aggressive form of cancer commonly in breast cells is breast cancer. The highly aggressive form of cancer is frequently created in breast cells. The need for the predictive model to accurately measure the prognosis prediction of breast cancer in the earlier stage is highly recommended. This development of methods for protecting people from fatal diseases by the researchers from the different disciplines who are all working altogether. An accurate breast cancer prognosis prediction is made by using a good predictive model to assist Medical Internet of Things (mIoT). Various advantages such as cancer detection in an earlier stage, medical expenses related to treatment, and having unwanted treatment gives the accurate prediction attains spare patients. Existing models lie on the uni-modal data such as chosen gene expression to predict the model’s design. Few learning-based predictive models are used in the proposed method to improve breast cancer prognosis prediction from the current data sets. Most of the peculiar benefits of the suggested method rely on the model’s architecture. Here, a novel adaptive boosting model (a-BM) is used to measure the loss function of every individual and intends to reduce the error rate. Various performances metrics are used to evaluate the predictive performance, which provides the model gives a good outcome rather than the previous techniques.
Deep roots of admixture-related cognitive differences in the USA
Authors: Fuerst John , Hu Meng
Published: April 2023

This study attempted to determine if the association between genetic admixture and cognitive ability among African, European, and Amerindian descent groups in the USA holds across a large time period. First, we used the large and nationally representative Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) sample to examine the association between cognitive ability and parental-reported race, genetically-predicted color, and genetic ancestry among Puerto Ricans, non-Hispanic Whites, Blacks, and American Indians in the 21st century. Second, we use the 1850 to 1930 US censuses to trace ancestry-associated cognitive differences back to the early 19th and early 20th century among African American, American Indian, and Puerto Rican groups by using age-heaping-based numeracy as a proxy for cognitive ability. In the ABCD sample, we found that European ancestry is positively associated with cognitive ability within race/ethnic groups. In the census data, among African Americans and American Indians but not Puerto Ricans, we find that greater apparent European admixture is associated with higher numeracy and this holds when we subset by age, sex, and literacy status. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Published: April 2023

In this study, the marriage education needs of individuals living in Northern Cyprus were determined, a marriage education program (EEP) was developed in line with the identified needs, and the effectiveness of the program was evaluated. In the study, a single-group quasi-experimental design was used in the implementation and evaluation of the program. The developed program was implemented as in-service training for the employees of the Nicosia Turkish Municipality. Participants in the trainings are 20 volunteers. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the EEP. Qualitative data were analyzed with the "Coding Comparison Query" method available in the NVivo R1 program. An independent sample t-test was used to determine the attitudes and beliefs of the participants about marriage before and after the EEP. The findings of the research are as follows; EEP significantly improved the marriage attitudes and beliefs of married individuals. The qualitative and quantitative data obtained from the subjects supported each other. It has been concluded that EEP is effective. Considering the findings obtained from this study, EEP in Northern Cyprus can be organized by the Ministry of National Education and Culture (MEKB) for parents in schools in the context of adult education. EEP within formal education can be given by MEKB in the form of courses in accordance with the development levels of the students. In addition, EEP can be given to citizens by municipalities and non-governmental organizations as public education.

Published: April 2023

With the prosperity of the nation, Vietnamese residents are the beneficiaries of more satisfactory legal frameworks regulating relatively all possible social issues. However, the legal component of personal asset management is considered to be refined. In reality, the existence of disputes and litigations over property management in fields of inheritance has placed pressure on legislators and law practitioners. Citizens who are not able to manage property effectively due to the lack of time, incapacity, knowledge deficiency are requesting an effective legal tool for a secure separation between a beneficial interest and a management right over the same property. At the same time, there exists cases where personal desires in the disposition of property upon death, the management of property, inheritance of family property should be respected accordingly. The demand for an effective personal or family asset management tool in Vietnamese current legal framework has become more urgent than ever, rooting in a fact that existing legislation has not satisfied an emerging need in the daily lives of inhabitants even though global cases have proven trusts as a very efficient method to handle all relevant practical matters. This paper focuses on researching the possibilities of adopting trusts in Vietnam to settle family property management through an analysis of practical demands, major characteristics of trusts, and potential obstacles. Results have shown a high potential of introducing trusts into Vietnam as a result of the fact that the Viet Nam Civil Code 2015 implies an appropriate background for such an introduction. The introduction and adoption of trusts into the Vietnamese legal system will possibly offer enormous benefits to the country's civilians.

The legal dissemination and legal aid to the residential community is a typical activity in the program of Clinical Legal Education in law schools. In Vietnam, practical legal education programs have been implemented officially at Vietnamese law schools since 2010. Besides a legal dissemination's aim, the practical legal education program contributes to consolidating law knowledge and improving soft skills for students who take part in the program directly. Up to now, the practical legal education program has succeeded in legal dissemination activities. However, the development potential of the program in the coming time is considerable but has not been implemented strongly. Therefore, this article presents an overview of the origin and content of the Clinical Legal Education and the statistics of the actual situation of implementing this program in Vietnam in recent years. The following part describes the solutions proposed to promote this program as a component connecting to the policy of socialization of work and legal education prescribed by the Law on Legal Popularization And Education 2012.

Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the objective prerequisites and the current state of integration of the Turkic states in the field of culture. The common history, language and traditions of the Turkic peoples form the basis for the search and definition of mechanisms for closer cooperation, which became possible after the collapse of the USSR. The study of these processes implies the complex use of philosophical-historical and cultural-civilizational, as well as interdisciplinary approaches. According to experts, the cultural factor laid the foundation for European integration, becoming the basis for the formation of future pan-European institutions. Such a trend can also be discussed by the example of the rapprochement of the Turkic countries. In 1993, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan created an Organization for the Joint Development of Turkic Culture and Art, which was renamed TURKSOY in 2009. TURKSOY has passed the first stage of institutionalization, which implies establishing cooperation with Member States and observers, as well as with other international organizations. From 2009 to the present, the second stage has been taking place, characterized by deepening and expanding cooperation, the implementation of various projects and initiatives.

„Egy véges világban nem képzelhető el végtelen növekedés”
Authors: Zenovitz Lili
Published: April 2023

A fenntarthatóság – és tágabban értelmezve a környezetvédelem – témája jelenkorunk kardinális kérdése. Ez a közbeszédben, a politikában és a tudomány több különböző területein egyaránt tetten érhető (Kollár 2020). Ehhez illeszkedve a tanulmány elsődleges célja egyrészt, hogy feltárja azokat az eltérő konceptuális sémákat, amelyek a fenntarthatóság területén megnyilvánulnak: vagyis azokat a különböző narratívákat igyekszik megragadni, amelyek a fenntarthatóság témája kapcsán megjelennek. Másrészt, a tanulmány kiemelt hangsúlyt fektet arra, hogy bemutassa a fenntarthatóság területén megjelenő sharing economy-narratívák (megosztáson alapuló gazdaság) főbb jellemzőit. Az elemzés egy 2021-es nagymintás adatfelvételre épül, amely több aspektusból vizsgálja a sharing economy kérdéskörét. A tanulmány célja mindazonáltal nemcsak az, hogy empirikusan megragadja a sharing economyra vonatkozó különböző narratívákat, hanem hogy feltárja, az eltérő beállítódásokkal rendelkező társadalmi csoportok, mely narratívák iránt mutatnak kiemelt érdeklődést. 1 Az interpretátorok (Fleischer 2014; Horváthné Kovács, Bernadett és Barna szerk. 2021) szerint ezzel az idézettel foglalható össze legjobban a jelentés lényege (vö. WCED 1987).

Az elektronikusan kommunikáló, a tömegmédia narratíváit gyakran személyes történetei elemeiként befogadó és közvetítő ember közösségről alkotott fogalma így számos fizikai és virtuális közösségélményből táplálkozva, a különböző közösségi formák fogalmi megjelenítésének csomópontján születik meg. A témakörrel kapcsolatos szociológiai, pszichológiai, kommunikációelméleti diszkussziókra reflektálva tanulmányomban a vonatkozó szakirodalom áttekintésével egyrészt arra kívánok rávilágítani, hogy az elektronikusan mediatizált kommunikáció keretében közvetített személyes, közösségi, társadalmi és tömegkommunikációs narratívák összefonódása hogyan járul hozzá új közösség- és társadalomfogalom kialakulásához, és teszi minden eddiginél komplexebbé, de egyúttal tudatosabbá is a kommunikációs folyamatainkhoz köthető közösségi és társadalmi szerepeinket. Másrészt választ keresek arra a kérdésre is, hogy az újmédia által közvetített narratívák miként járulnak hozzá a rendszeres médiafogyasztók esetében egy különleges, kapcsolati én és egy erre épülő képlékeny identitás kialakulásához.

A Pardon rovat Kosztolányi Dezső közreműködésével 1919 és 1921 között jelent meg heti rendszerességgel az Új Nemzedék hasábjain. Az ott szereplő glosszák több mint harmada antiszemita tartalommal rendelkezett, ezeknek nagy része stilisztikai elemzések alapján Kosztolányi Dezső munkásságához köthető (Arany 2019). Irodalomtudományos szempontból sokat foglalkoztak Kosztolányi Dezső antiszemita korszakával, ám társadalomtudományos szemszögből még nem tárgyalták azt. Az író irodalmi munkássága és ismertsége miatt rendelkezésünkre állnak olyan dokumentumok, amelyek feltárják, hogy ő maga és kortársai hogyan értelmezték – a Pardon írójaként és szerkesztőjeként – az antiszemita diskurzusban való szerepét. Célunk, hogy megismerjük azt a korszellemet, amelyben a glosszák keletkeztek, és megpróbáljuk megérteni, hogy a makroszintű társadalomtörténeti folyamatok hogyan hatottak az egyéni mikroszintre, ezzel társadalomtörténeti kontextust nyújtva a Pardon rovat antiszemita írásaihoz. Tanulmányunkban a zsidóság társadalmi, gazdasági és politikai helyzetének feltárásán keresztül elemezzük az antiszemita glosszák tartalmait és az azok kialakulásának hátterében meghúzódó társadalomtörténeti folyamatokat, majd Kosztolányi Dezső életútján keresztül mutatjuk be, hogyan hatott az egyén életére az antiszemita diskurzusban való részvétel.
Media Literacy Education : a Case Study of the New Mexico Media Literacy Project
Authors:   ,   Andrews University, Nkana Sam
Published: April 2023

Problem. England and Australia are the frontrunners in the establishment of media literacy education in schools, providing performance and content standards, norm-referenced tests, and pre-service university training for a specialty in media education. Canada is also in the advanced stage in the development of a media literacy curriculum. The United States, although a major producer of media, lags behind these countries in preparing its teachers and students to understand the media. Although national education standards and the curricular frameworks of all 50 states now contain one or more elements calling for some form of media literacy education, only a handful of schools teach media literacy. Purpose of Study. The purpose of this study was to describe the history and background of the New Mexico Media Literacy Project (NMMLP), an established media literacy organization. In addition, this study aimed to explore the processes and techniques adopted by this organization in training individuals to implement principles of media literacy in various settings. Method. This qualitative case study design sought to document a media literacy program in the United States. The study investigated its curricular materials, instructional practices, and training methods for teaching media literacy. NMMLP was chosen as the organization to be studied. Results. Six key themes connected to the research questions were derived from the data. These were: (a) change, (b) critical thinking, (c) role play, (d) training model, (e) relevance, and (f) networking. The inception of NMMLP came as a result of one person‘s dream to fight the media‘s hegemony over individuals‘ lives and bring about change. One of the core principles taught by NMMLP as an agent of change was to develop critical thinking skills in its trainees. Role play, training models, relevance, and networking were found to have contributed to the success of its training programs. Conclusions. I discovered that the practices of NMMLP confirmed statements made during the interviews. The staff indicated that NMMLP stays abreast of current issues concerning individuals or groups within our society. For example, because of the focus of electronic and written media on body image and because society continues to emphasize the ‗need‘ for women to be thin, NMMLP produced a DVD-ROM called Media and Body Image, which points out the media‘s influence on society‘s perception of the ideal body image. Visiting this organization allowed me to see how it trains individuals as well as how it responds to matters affecting our society. I found a common thread in NMMLP that has sustained it from the time Dee Dee Downs started the organization to the present—networking. Networking has been its lifeline. NMMLP implements best practices as delineated in the Core Principles of Media Literacy Education in the United States formulated by the National Association for Media Literacy Education. Its work also follows guidelines suggested by many media literacy education scholars.
Why does France turn to be far-rightist?: Reconquête as a niche party faced with RN
Authors:   United European Research Society, SHIM Sung-Eun
Published: April 2023

It is remarkable that, during the French presidential election in 2022, there are two far-right parties: Reconquête and Rassemblée nationale(RN). After creation at the end of 2021, approval rating for Reconquête rose from 13% to 16% and then fell, winning 7.1% of the votes at the first round of 2022 presidential election. Approval rating for Marine Le Pen was in inverse proportion to that of Reconquête. This paper aims to analyze the rise of Reconquête with a niche party theory, trying to confirm it through parties leaders’ declarations, on the one hand, and election pledges of the Reconquête, Front national(FN) and RN party of 2002 and 2022, on the other hand. Analysis shows that the emergence of Reconquête was a consequence of Marine Le Pen’s “dédiabolisation” strategy. In order to keep distance from Jean-Marie Le Pen who caused several scandals by his radical remarks, Marine Le Pen changed the Party’s name from FN to RN, and tried to correct the excessively far-righted path, similar to fascist one. RN succeeded in becoming less extreme far-right party, and was finally criticized for being “too normal”, leaving an extreme far-right party’s place vacant. Reconquête took over the position of an extreme far-right party that had been vacant, and therefore became more politically similar to that of Jean-Marie Le Pen. Common points of two leaders are found in radical remarks which led them sometimes to be sentenced to be guilty, and in the similar campaign pledges of Jean-Marie Le Pen in 2002 and Zemmour in 2022. For these aspects, Reconquête can be seen as a niche party, given that it does not depend on a specific ideology, and keeps strong policy rigidity. In addition, Zemmour’s policy follows extreme far-right tendencies of Jean-Marie Le Pen, which contributes to maintain a consistent minority support in the sense that existing parties are reluctant to deal with it. Moreover, the niche party strategy of Reconquête expanded the support base of the far-right parties. RN’s maximum approval rating was just over 26% before the rise of Reconquête, but, when the latter was included in the polls since September 2021, and during the first round of the 2022 presidential election, the total approval rating for the two far-right parties increased further to 30.3%, which is much more than 26% of RN. Yet, it is possible that the political position of far-rights parties in France would be depend on whether Reconquête will keep its stance as a niche party in the next elections, or its niche party position will be weakened.
Europe and the Islamic World Seen Through “Reconquista”: Focusing on the Case of France
Authors:   United European Research Society, PARK Dahn
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to examine Europe and the Islamic world through the concept of “reconquest”. Europe may represent the Christian world, and MENA may represent the Islamic world, and this article will focus on the relationship between Christianity-based France and Islam-based Algeria.
The concept of “reconquest” that I use is not limited to the “territorial recovery” movement that took place in the medieval Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th centuries. This concept takes into account the harsh measures of the Inquisition in the Middle Ages, the forced conversion of conquered people through non-grant citizenship in modern Algeria, and the realization of assimilation as a result.
As France “reconquered” Algeria, the ruins of Timgad and the example of Saint Augustine show that Algeria was a former Roman territory. In other words, as Algeria had been a Roman region in the past, it was argued that it should have fully accepted the rule of France, which was a descendant of Rome, a civilized and Christianized country.
The possibility that modern France could be “colonized” by a majority of Muslims residing there is the argument of the Reconquête!, or Reconquest party, founded by Eric Zemmour. This far-right party argues that Muslims should either be assimilated into French society or “exiled” to prevent the country from being conquered by Muslims.
In the 19th century, France conquered Algeria. However, nowadays many feel that France was “conquered” by Muslim immigrants, including Algerians. A growing number of people are arguing that this trend is not just between France and Algeria, but between Europe and the Islamic world.
A epoché na fenomenologia transcendental de Edmund Husserl
Authors: Ronnau Gabriel Rodrigues
Published: April 2023

O intuito do presente artigo é apresentar uma breve introdução ao conceito de epoché na fenomenologia transcendental de Edmund Husserl, contextualizando seu idealismo com relação ao conceito de cogito desenvolvido pelo cartesianismo e, posteriormente, desenvolvido pela fenomenologia husserliana. A introdução à fenomenologia pura de Edmund Husserl serve para fundamentar sua metodologia pela centralidade do conceito de epoché como “suspensão de juízo natural”. O problema do conhecimento é estabelecido através das reduções fenomenológicas e é tratado como fundamental para a compreensão do intuito da fenomenologia como ciência rigorosa e como ciência de meditação metafísica.
poesía sociolingüística de Florencio Delgado Gurriarán
Authors: Alonso Montero Xesús
Published: April 2023

A biografía de Florencio Delgado Gurriarán en relación coa lingua galega foi insólita, singular realmente. Décadas antes de “Deitado frente ao mar...”, poema composto por Celso Emilio Ferreiro en 1962, Delgado Gurriarán compuña e publicaba poemas de temática sociolingüística; o primeiro deles “Opinións sobre o galego”, data de abril de 1931. Repasamos aquí aos seus textos en verso sobre a problemática social do idioma galego, produción pola que, no século xx, Delgado Gurriarán foi un pioneiro.

Published: April 2023

En este trabajo se realiza una aproximación a los aspectos de la Lingüística computacional que tienen que ver con las tecnologías conversacionales. Con la intención de acercar sus relaciones y semejanzas con la lingüística, se parte de la Filología para explicar el surgimiento de esta especialidad de la Lingüística aplicada y se define su objetivo principal. A continuación, se profundiza en las principales aplicaciones del procesamiento del lenguaje natural en el ámbito mencionado señalando la posición que ocupa la programación en ellos y en el trabajo del lingüista. En el desarrollo de la exposición, se presentan y explican conceptos fundamentales que suponen parte de estos procesos como modelo de lenguaje, interpretación de estructuras y reconocimiento de entidades. Para finalizar, se ilustra todo lo anterior con dos ejemplos de aplicaciones de los procesos tratados muy frecuentes en el día a día: un sistema de reconocimiento de voz telefónico y un asistente de voz
