Published: February 2025

This article is about meetings between frontline workers in the Norwegian labour and welfare administration (NAV), and young people outside work or school - NEETs. This group often has few or no financial rights beyond financial social assistance, which is granted from the social services in NAV. One of NAV's intentions is to ensure a work-oriented focus and comprehensive follow-up across various benefits. Based on a qualitative study in five NAV offices, the article investigates how organizational measures, in this case the specialization of work tasks, which seeks to put work-oriented aspects in the foreground of service provision, and separate it from traditional casework on benefit decisions.  
The study consists of 14 observations of conversations between frontline workers and young social assistance recipients. Additionally, five focus group interviews were conducted with the frontline workers. The findings suggest that the frontline workers' follow-up appears fragmented, so that these young people can end up with up to three frontline workers at the same time, who are respectively responsible for finances, work and follow-up.  This specialization can have implications for the quality of the service provision, and it seems that the nature and dynamics of social problems are not taken into account.
Hard to Assist? Hard to Resist? FONMT in Foreign Language Learning: Instructors’ Perspectives on Learners’ Rationale
Authors: Engelmayr-Hofmann Katrin
Published: February 2025

This study focused on instructors teaching German as a foreign language at two UK universities and examined their experiences with and attitudes toward free online neural machine translation (FONMT). In September 2022, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather data. The results indicate a general openness toward FONMT, with instructors making varying assumptions regarding their learners’ reasons for utilizing FONMT. In addition, the instructors’ underlying conceptions of language learning in relation to FONMT became apparent and influenced their perspectives on assessment. The author presents FONMT from an instructor's perspective as a triangular relationship between assumptions (about students’ rationales), expectations (in light of language learning), and assessment (of language learning). Consequently, it appeared essential to consider potential reasons for using FONMT and the objectives of language learning when implementing FONMT in foreign language teaching and learning. By doing so, strategies become visible for both teacher training and language instruction that may assist learners in a purposeful use of FONMT while resisting its allure.
Learners’ Perceptions of WBMT-Assisted Reading Strategies: An Action Research Study
Authors: Lu Lu
Published: February 2025

This action research (AR) study investigated the pedagogical implementation of web-based machine translation (WBMT), specifically Baidu Fanyi 百度翻译 (Baidu Translator), for teaching reading strategies in extensive reading tasks in Chinese as a foreign language (CFL) classrooms. The study focused on CFL learners’ perceptions of utilizing WBMT-assisted reading strategies. Eleven third-year CFL students participated in a semester-long project that followed Kemmis and McTaggart's (2000) AR spiral model through three cycles in the classroom. The study analyzed students’ reflective reports and found that learners acknowledged the benefits of WBMT for enhancing motivation and boosting confidence when reading authentic materials. However, some learners expressed concerns about their linguistic gains, particularly in vocabulary acquisition, during the reading process. The study also suggests that WBMT can serve as a supplementary reading tool, providing an alternative approach to facilitating reading comprehension for learners.
Between Stalin and Coca-Cola: Postsocialist Geopolitics and Utopian Ambivalence at Castorf’s Volksbühne
Authors: Korte Christine
Published: February 2025

This article examines Frank Castorf’s engagement with East-West geopolitics at the Volksbühne, especially in light of the subsequent Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the 1990s, Castorf’s productions focused primarily on postsocialism through an Ost-oriented lens. As NATO expanded eastward, Russia and the work of nineteenth-century novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky became a conceptual space for Castorf to explore the discontents of Western liberal democracies and to sustain a utopian ambivalence or openness. His interpretations of Dostoevsky, starting with Dämonen (1999/2000) and culminating in Die Brüder Karamasow (2015), however, reveal significant shifts in his reception of Russia. In Dämonen, Castorf projected onto Russia a combative, carnivalesque vitality that resisted the perceived consensus and conformism of Western liberal democracies. In Karamasow, the Russia that emerges is more violent, nationalistic, and authoritarian. Here, however, Castorf marks Russian Orthodoxy as the source of its otherness and hence as a terrain where existential questions of morality, politics, and religion remain open. Fully embracing these contradictions, Castorf treats contemporary Russia as a response to the postsocialist condition that takes us beyond the antipodes of Stalin and Coca-Cola.

Theorising Violent Extremisms: Anthropological and Psychoanalytic Perspectives
Authors: Woodward Mark , Mohamed Rohani
Published: February 2025

Muslim Violent Extremism (MVE) and Far-Right Extremism (FRE) are two sides of the same coin. Despite profound ideological differences they share sociological and psychological features. This article relies on anthropological, linguistic, psychological and psychoanalytic theory to explain the ways in which, despite irreconcilable semantics, they share a common syntactic structure. It is based on ethnographic research in Indonesia, Nigeria and the United Kingdom and the analysis of extremist texts. Muslim VE and FRE movements are what Wallace (1956) described as revitalisation movements bent on destroying the existing social order and replacing it with a utopia based on the vision of a charismatic leader. Both exhibit characteristics described by Freud (1922), including narcissistic leaders who Nietzsche (1883) described as the ubermench (superman). Together they form what Levi Strauss (1955) described as a transformation group.
Keywords: Muslim Violent Extremists (MVE), Far-Right Extremism (FRE), Revitalisation movement, anthropology, psychoanalysis.
Orthodontic and periodontal health interplay: insight from a case series
Authors: Saad Noor Asyikin , Ariffin Farha
Published: February 2025

Orthodontic treatment improves dental aesthetics and function but may presents challenges in patients with compromised periodontal health. This case series highlights the importance of interdisciplinary care and patient compliance in managing these complexities. Three female patients aged 27 to 42 years old with histories of orthodontic treatment were referred to Periodontology Postgraduate Clinic for further periodontal management. All patients showed periodontal deterioration post-orthodontic treatment, with complications such as gingival inflammation, deep probing pocket depth (PPD), increased tooth mobility and severe bone loss involving lower incisors. Improper plaque control and non-compliance with retainers may contributed to these outcomes. All patients reported being unaware of their periodontal issues prior to this except the ones affected by tooth mobility. Following thorough periodontal examination, each patient was informed about the importance of proper plaque control and regular maintenance visits especially in patients with any appliance intraorally, as these appliances would promote bacterial plaque retention. The patients were then received non-surgical periodontal therapy, with regular follow-ups before periodontal stability achieved. This case series emphasizes the need for early periodontal screening, continuous monitoring, and interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontists and periodontists. Patient compliance is crucial to prevent periodontal complications and to achieve optimal functional and aesthetic results during orthodontic therapy.

Published: February 2025

The development of high-resolution retinal imaging systems is critical for enhancing the diagnostic accuracy and usability of tools used in detecting glaucoma and managing other ophthalmic and systemic diseases. This study evaluates a novel high-resolution retinal imaging system by comparing its diagnostic performance in detecting glaucoma with AutoMorph, a leading retinal vessel segmentation tool with available online code for reproducibility. The system's diagnostic accuracy was assessed using Area Under the Curve (AUC) metrics, with our system (HRVIAS) achieving a superior AUC of 0.7048 compared to AutoMorph's AUC of 0.6560. Additionally, a usability study was conducted using the System Usability Scale (SUS), where participants rated the system highly, with the majority of scores clustering around 80 to 85, indicating strong user satisfaction. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system not only improves the diagnostic accuracy of detecting glaucoma but also offers a user-friendly interface, making it a valuable tool for clinical and research applications in retinal imaging.

Published: February 2025

The efflux system is one of the mechanisms responsible for conferring bacterial resistance to various classes of chemical compounds, whether antibiotic, dye, antiseptic or disinfectant. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of efflux pump in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species isolated from dairy goats’ subclinical mastitis. To investigate the presence of this mechanism was used the methodology based on ethidium bromide (BrEt) expulsion. The results showed that of the 95 bacterial strains investigated, 12 (12.6%) were positive for the presence of efflux pump and 83 (87.4%) were negative. The isolates of S. capitis subsp. ureolyticus showed the highest percentage of positivity among the evaluated species. The results demonstrate that coagulase-negative Staphylococcus from goat mastitis carry an important antimicrobial resistance mechanism which may interfere with the treatment of the disease in the farm environment, causing economic losses to the farmer and representing public health risks.

Authors: Méndez Adrian González
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Human body movement, made up of motor patterns and factors, is considered an essential element of health and well-being. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the characteristics and parameters of gait has aroused great interest over time among researchers and clinicians, because alterations in the parameters that make it up have been associated with anthropometric factors.

Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of biomechanical software as a model for gait analysis in affected patients who attend Rehabilitation services.

Methods: A biomechanical analysis study was carried out at the Dr. Faustino Pérez Hernández Rehabilitation Hospital of Sancti Spiritus, structured in two stages, where in the first stage the functioning aspects of the biomechanical software (Kinovea) were assessed and in the second stage We proceeded to work with the study sample with the biomechanical software.

Result: In the gait analysis, the two patients who suffered from a sprain were the ones who came closest to the normal parameters in relation to the cycle and chain length of gait, in the biomechanical analysis of gait for each lower limb. In the patients, the angular amplitude of each joint could be accurately detected, where the angular deficit in the affected joint was demonstrated.

Conclusions: The use of the Kinovea software in the analysis of the spatiotemporal parameters of gait reflected excellent test- retest reliability and a good biomechanical analysis of the patients studied.

Authors: Wang Xianghe , Wang Hongwei , Ma Xiaosheng , Xia Xinlei , Lyu Feizhou , Xu Haocheng , Wang Hongli
Published: February 2025

Study Design: Retrospective study.Purpose: To evaluate the radiological characteristics of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DS) and analyze the suitability of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) for different DS subtypes. Overview of Literature: OLIF has gained distinction for its minimal invasiveness and quicker recovery. Despite its promising effectiveness in treating DS, variations in patient characteristics necessitate precise surgical technique selection. The clinical and radiographic degenerative spondylolisthesis (CARDS) classification aids in identifying suitable DS subtypes.Methods: From March 2020 to March 2023, 100 inpatients with DS were classified into groups A, B, C, and D based on the CARDS classification system. Preoperative radiological data were analyzed to measure the severity of central canal stenosis, facet joint arthropathy, intervertebral disc herniation, and spinal epidural lipomatosis, osteophyte formation, range of motion (ROM), and computed tomography value of the vertebral bodies. The radiological characteristics and clinical contraindications for OLIF were compared among the groups.Results: Of the 100 patients, 51% had clinical contraindications for OLIF, which included 85%, 25%, 62.5%, and 20% of patients in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. Compared with group B, group A demonstrated greater severity of central canal stenosis, whereas group C showed a higher degree of facet joint arthropathy. More patients in groups A and C had severe central canal stenosis. Regarding the ROM results, group A had segmental stiffness, whereas group D presented relatively unstable slip segments.Conclusions: Patients with different DS subtypes have varied radiological characteristics. Groups B and D are suitable candidates for OLIF. Most patients in group A are unsuitable for OLIF because of bony hyperplasia, severe spinal stenosis, and segmental stiffness.

Published: February 2025

Study Design: A retrospective study design was adopted.Purpose: This study investigated the surgical modification of laminectomy, including piecemeal and en bloc resections, and compared this hybrid approach with conventional en bloc laminectomy for treating multilevel thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF). Overview of Literature: En bloc laminectomy is the most commonly used method for managing symptomatic TOLF. However, this approach can easily cause intraoperative spinal cord irritation, dural tear, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage (CFL).Methods: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) and somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) were recorded in 48 patients with TOLF (hybrid 20 vs. en bloc 28) during surgery. Patients were categorized based on MEP/SEP improvement, deterioration, or no change, and MEP/SEP improvement rates were measured in the improvement group. Furthermore, all patients were assessed using the Ashworth and modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scores.Results: The incidences of both MEP/SEP improvement (21.4% vs. 25.0%, p=0.772) and deterioration (21.4% vs. 20.0%, p=0.904) were similar between the en bloc and hybrid laminectomy groups, and no difference in preoperative and postoperative clinical assessments was observed between the two groups (p>0.05). In four patients (4/28, 14.3%) undergoing en bloc laminectomy, MEP amplitudes initially increased after OLF removal but gradually decreased. This delayed MEP reduction did not occur in the hybrid laminectomy group. Furthermore, more patients undergoing en bloc laminectomy had CFL than those undergoing hybrid laminectomy (46.4% vs. 15.0%, p=0.023). In the improvement group, the hybrid laminectomy group exhibited higher MEP improvement rates in the bilateral abductor hallucis than the en bloc laminectomy group (left side: 213.4%±35.9% vs. 152.5%±41.0%, p=0.028; right side: 201.2%±32.0% vs. 145.2%±46.3%, p=0.043).Conclusions: Compared with en bloc laminectomy, hybrid laminectomy may be a safe and effective method for treating multilevel TOLF, potentially reducing intraoperative spinal cord irritation and CFL and causing relatively better functional recovery.

Authors: Kulesza Cezary
Published: February 2025

The basic assumption of the article is to examine to what extent the latest amendments to the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure (CCP) are in line with international standards of rights and protection of child victims of crime. It should be noted that between 2020 and 2023, the Polish justice system has undergone significant evolution in this area, striving to meet the standards of child-friendly justice specified by legal acts of the Council of Europe and European Union legislation. The following acts were of particular importance here: of 13 January 2023, 7 July 2023, 27 July 2023 amending the provisions of CCP introducing, among others, the institution of individual assessment of the needs of victims (Article 52a), the legal representative of a minor victim (Article 51 § 2a) and amending the procedures for interviewing minor victims and witnesses specified in Articles 185a–185c and f of the Polish CCP. All these amendments will be assessed in the context of the standards set by the Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against sexual exploitation of 25 October 2007 and the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence of 11 May 2011. Regarding EU standards, it is necessary to examine the standards of rights and protection of child victims of crime contained in Directive 2011/93/EU of 13 December 2011 on combating sexual abuse and sexual exploitation of children and Directive 2012/29/EU of 25 October 2012 on minimum standards of protection, rights and support for victims of crime and the draft amendments to this directive of 23 July 2023. This article highlights the most important of the Polish CCP changes in 2020–2023 and presents the current state of implementation of the above mentioned European and EU standards into Polish criminal procedure.

Published: February 2025

In this study, a multi-layer perceptron model (EL-NEP-MLP) combining ensemble learning and noise-enhanced prediction is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy and stability of gas concentration in photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) under complex noise environments. In practical applications, PAS signals are susceptible to various noises, especially in low-concentration gas detection. The multi-layer perceptron (MLP) is used for photoacoustic signal feature extraction, ensemble learning and noise-enhanced prediction to improve system robustness and generalization capability. The experimental results show that EL-NEP-MLP can predict the gas concentration quickly and accurately under complex noise conditions.

Authors: Xu Wangkun , Zhang Ji , Mei Ning
Published: February 2025

Given the limitations of existing helmet detection algorithms, particularly their low precision in identifying tiny goals in dense and intricate surroundings, which often leads to missed and false detections, this paper introduces the SPA-YOLO helmet detection and recognition algorithm, grounded in the YOLOv8n framework. Firstly, neck neural network is enhanced by incorporating P2 small-targets detection layer, which optimizes the recognition capability for small-targets in images and captures detailed features of helmet objects more effectively. Secondly, the Spatial Pyramid Dilated Convolution (SPD-Conv), tailored for detection of small objects in dim imagery, is introduced to mitigate the loss of cellular information, preserve discriminative features, and augment the capability of the backbone network to derive multi-scale features from helmet imagery. Additionally, the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) attention mechanism is applied to neck layer of the neural network to effectively minimize background interference and enhance the precision of the model. The experimental outcomes validate that, in comparison with the baseline YOLOv8n model, SPA-YOLO algorithm demonstrates an enhancement of 2.6% in mAP@0.5 and a 2.3% enhancement in mAP@0.5:0.95, achieving final accuracies of 92.0% and 60.4%. These enhancements significantly improve helmet-wearing detection accuracy in complex environments.
