Actualité, urgence et travail collectif dans l’émergence d’un nouveau champ du savoir au Mozambique : le cas du Centre des Etudes Africaines (1976-1986)
Authors: Carlos Fernandes
Published: July 2023

Cette contribution étudie un rapport de recherche. Elle met en valeur l’émergence d’un nouveau champ de recherche au Mozambique au lendemain de l’acquisition de l’indépendance, à travers l’analyse d’une oeuvre (Zimbabwe - La question de la Rhodésie) produite par le Centre d’Etudes Africaines (CEA) de l’Université Eduardo Mondlane, en 1976. Même si cet ouvrage n’est pas une pièce majeure de la recherche produite par le CEA, il a changé la dynamique de la recherche du CEA en introduisant trois nouveautés : (1) l’accent sur «l’actuel» (tout en tenant compte de ses racines historiques) plutôt que la focalisation sur les seuls faits historiques ; (2) le passage d’une recherche individuelle vers la recherche en équipe, et (3) l’introduction de la notion d’urgence dans la recherche - «chercher vite» - pour répondre aux préoccupations immédiates. Ce dernier aspect implique que le temps pour mener la recherche est limité et que la production est soumise à des délais précis.

Authors: Rafieian Shahab , Ershadi Reza , Fattahi Mohammad Reza , Ghiasvand Fereshteh , Mirzae Samira , Ghaderkhani Sara , Vahedi Matin
Published: July 2023

Background: More than 87% of patients with COVID-19 have at least one resistant symptom after recovery, and bullous disease may be as a one of these resistant conditions. Methods: This bicentric cross-sectional study examined hospitalised patients with confirmed COVID-19 and pulmonary bullous disease from July 2021 to February 2022 in two hospitals. A radiologist reviewed all patients' chest CT scans for the presence of bullae or cysts. Results: In this study, 34 COVID-19 patients with lung bullae were identified. The majority of bullae were small or medium-sized and located in the left or right lung, with 20.6% being bilateral. Most patients had a single bulla. The mortality rate was 29.4%, with an average survival time of 13 days for deceased patients. Increased age, smoking, respiratory comorbidities, intubation, and bilateral bullae were associated with lower survival time. However, no significant association was found between survival time and sex, size, or number of bullae. Findings provide important insights into the clinical implications of COVID-19 and lung bullae. Conclusions: Recognizing the coexistence of COVID-19 and pulmonary bullous disease is crucial as bilateral bullae were associated with lower survival time. Further research is needed to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and lung bullae.
Economic Statecraft in Polish Strategic Security Documents
Authors: Głowacki Piotr
Published: July 2023

The aim of this article is to examine how interdependence of economic policy and social security is perceived in the strategic documents of the Polish government in the area of security and international politics. For the analyses, the author has employed the concepts of economic statecraft and geoeconomics. It has been found that the strategic documents in the area of security do perceive interdependence between politics and economics. Polish strategic documents treat economic factors as merely one of many aspects of security rather than being absolutely dominant. Therefore, those factors cannot be recognised as based on the geoeconomic paradigm. It is worth noting that the economic statecraft tool is not discussed in an in-depth manner – as a separate category of state instruments. Polish strategic documents suggest the awareness that such instruments are used by other states, e.g. Russia with respect to the area of energy. Polish strategic documents are primarily focused on the need to introduce safeguards against such threats – among other things by the application of defensive economic statecraft. The analyses carried out for this article failed to identify any proposals for the development of proprietary Polish economic leverages as an instrument of building up state power – offensive economic statecraft. The author recommends further in-depth research on the perception of interdependence between security and economic policy in other countries as well as popularisation of the concept of economic statecraft in Poland.
Del mejoramiento a la prevención de asentamientos informales : esquemas endógenos y sostenibles en ciudades intermedias de Nicaragua
Authors:   , Pérez Casas Marc
Published: July 2023

The informal settlement’s associated predicament must be addressed by concurrent remediation and prevention urban policies. Nevertheless, the growing social pressure to respond to the situation through decent and effective solutions, along with the scarcity of economic resources, restrict the interventions to palliative projects, with limited scope and no future vision. This thesis analyzes urban intervention experiences in Nicaragua and Latina America and the Caribbean region, contributing with proposals that facilitate the recovery of investment via a seed capital and a revolving fund, creating opportunities for new interventions through an endogenous and iterative process. Additionally, it demonstrates the streamlining of comprehensive neighborhood improvement projects, through designs that consider a city vision and synergies with other stakeholders. Finally, the research ends with a robust impact assessment of intervened neighborhoods, proving the effect of urban environment improvement on the reduction of housing deficits, becoming a more effective urban policy than a social housing supply scheme.

Las políticas urbanas deben atender la problemática asociada a los asentamientos informales desde la remediación hasta la prevención. Sin embargo, la creciente presión social por dar una solución digna y efectiva, sumada a la escasez de recursos económicos, reduce las actuaciones a proyectos paliativos, con limitado alcance y visión de futuro. Esta Tesis analiza experiencias de intervención urbana en Nicaragua, así como en América Latina y el Caribe, aportando nuevas propuestas que permiten recuperar las inversiones a partir de un capital semilla y un fondo revolvente, generando nuevas intervenciones en un proceso endógeno e iterativo. Adicionalmente, se demuestra cómo hacer más eficientes los proyectos de mejoramiento integral de barrios a través de diseños con visión de ciudad y generando sinergias con otros actores. Finalmente, la investigación concluye con una robusta evaluación de impacto sobre barrios intervenidos demostrando el efecto de la mejora del entorno urbano en la reducción de los déficits habitacionales, convirtiéndose en una política urbana más eficiente respecto la provisión de vivienda social

Authors:   Arhivele Naționale ale Românie, Negru Anemari Monica
Published: July 2023

The Journal of the Archives was founded in 1924 by Constantin Moisil, a university professor, academician, and director of the State Archives. The historian and archivist Aurelian Sacerdoțeanu continued its coordination and published five volumes in 1938–1947, but later the Communist regime abolished the journal for a decade. The Journal of the Archives was the State Archives’ official publication. It had many of the organization and operation issues of this institution both in the Capital and in its regional branches. It also had a variety of studies in archiving, chronology, diplomacy, genealogy, heraldry, numismatics, paleography, and sphragistics, studies regarding the peculiarities of the scientific preservation and capitalization of historical documents, homage volumes, bibliographies, and reports. Hundreds of documents, catagraphs, terms, inscriptions, manuscripts, etc. have been published in this journal. During Communist Romania, The Journal of the Archives resumed its publication in 1958, with a new series, including various socialist propaganda materials, but also valuable archival works. Along with great historians, philologists, university professors, members of the Romanian Academy, such as Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu, Dimitrie Onciul, Nicolae Iorga, many archivists published valuable studies in The Journal of the Archives. They are: Emil Vârtosu, Ștefan Meteș, Teodor Bălan, Mihai Regleanu, Mihail Fănescu, Ștefan Hurmuzache, Tudor Mateescu, Marcel Ciucă. Articles written by archivist ladies Maria Holban, Elena Limona, Maria Dogaru, Mioara Tudorică, Ioana Burlacu, etc. also appeared in this journal, and some were inspired by women’s history.

Carmina Balcanica – o revistă a dialogului intercultural
Authors:   Universitatea din Craiova, Facultatea de Litere, Zăbavă Elena Camelia
Published: July 2023

The international cultural magazine Carmina Balcanica has been intiated in 2008. It has as main goals to promote the South-Eastern culture, to establish an intercultural dialogue between people from the East and West, and from the East and East as well. In its pages, the editors delimited the concept of Balkanism, emphasizing the mixture of elements which imbue the psychology, mentality and, correspondingly, the forms of artistic creation specific to the sensitiveness of Southern man, past and present. The editors are trying to reopen the horizon of realities wherein Iorga had envisaged South-Eastern Europe as a historical, spiritual, religious, ethnographic, artistic, cultural, folkloric unity of morals and manners, institutions and influences. At the same time, the editors’ aim is to soften the pejorative, quite demonizing, image of the Levant as Europe’s powder keg. Their intention is also to recall the fact that, above and beyond the tragedies which have been haunting it, the Levant was – and still is – the cradle of a great civilization.

Published: July 2023

How to create the portrait of a posterity when, instead of its content, you encounter the multitude of heterogeneous attempts and achievements that, by their very nature, refuse to be subsumed to a specialty? C.S.Nicolaescu – Plopșor: what was he, after all? Was he the narrator who created fairy tales that potentially sit next to those of Creanga or Ispirescu? Was he the archaeologist who, even without having had major discoveries, opened nonetheless vast construction sites? Was he the passionate collector of folklore who, subdued to the fury of his passion, left behind all rigors? Or was he the one who, in times of dictatorship, had the necessary consciousness to save the cultural heritage during the final stretch of his life? C. S. Nicolăescu-Plopșor was the one who, during a lifetime that was insufficient to accomplish what his mind and time demanded and who came to meet others with the enthusiasm of a team, not that of an individual.

Published: July 2023

Prestigious cultural and scientific publication, ”Arhivele Olteniei” has hosted since its first issues, in addition to numerous contributions that testify to an intense cultural life and numerous archaeological articles that highlight the richness of discoveries in Oltenia. Thus, for the period of the developed Neolithic and the early Eneolithic represented by the archeological cultures Dudeşti, Vădastra and Boian, the contributions brought by C.S Nicolăescu Plopşor and Dumitru Berciu are significant. Since 1939, the work "Arheologia preistorică a Olteniei" has presented numerous Neolithic materials, followed in the 80's by articles signed by Eugen Comşa and Marin Nica. Very important are also the capitalizations of some Neo-Eneolithic materials, unpublished or less known, discovered in the mentioned area.
Morphosyntactic and semantic properties of Romanian modal verbs putea and trebui
Authors:   Universitatea din București, Facultatea de Limbi și Literaturi Străine, PANAITESCU MARA
Published: July 2023

The paper presents some key aspects related to the semantics of Romanian modal verbs putea, ‘can’/’may’ and trebui, ‘must’, focusing mainly on identifying the interaction between these verbs on the one hand and temporal and aspectual marking on the other. It is shown that certain temporal relations are associated with certain modal flavors. These interactions are better understood by teasing apart two distinct temporal anchors (the temporal perspective, i.e. the time of the modal evaluation), and the temporal orientation (i.e. the time of the event introduced by the lexical verb). Certain patterns emerge: for instance, deontic readings are associated with future orientation, epistemic interpretations are associated with present temporal perspective etc. Non-episodic contexts are shown to resist such generalizations.
The nationalist discourses in the SFRY before its disintegration
Authors: Vukićević Jelena
Published: July 2023

This paper presents the nationalist discourses in the SFRY before its disintegration and how ethnic nationalism was instrumentalized to achieve the political elites' goals. Based on the previous studies, it presents the basic features of nationalist discourses in the former Yugoslav republics before the collapse of the SFRY, the ways of their construction, dissemination, and popularization, the social actors who played a key role in it, the motives behind the rise of ethnic nationalism and the implications it had. The paper covers the period from the beginning of the 1980s to 1991 when Slovenia and Croatia declared independence and when the first armed conflicts began. Given that Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia played a key role in the breakup of Yugoslavia, this paper presents nationalist discourses in only these three republics. Since the beginning of the 1980s, the rise of nationalism in SFRY was supported by numerous factors: the still prevalent feelings of national belonging among the people that weren't fully suppressed; the Constitution adopted in 1974, that gave sufficient autonomy to each republic, leaving space for nationalism; Tito's death; fall of socialism; general social and economic crisis. Political structures of that time used nationalism to stay in power, alongside tradition, religion, mythologization of history, self-victimization, and demonization of the Other. The political instrumentalization of nationalism and tradition was prominent in Serbia and Croatia. In Slovenia more prevalent was a discourse on self-victimization and demonization of the Other, Serbia especially. Mythological discourse focuses on the safe and 'better' past, covering up the ugly present and blurring the uncertain future. Highlighting the external enemy, this discourse distracts attention from the internal ones, preventing any criticism of the government.
Efficacy of GV-1 Aqua-acupuncture for Acute Diarrhea in Dogs: A Controlled, Randomized Clinical Study
Authors: Krenicki Christine , Xie Huisheng
Published: July 2023

The objective of this randomized controlled study was to determine whether integrating GV-1 aqua-acupuncture (aqua-AP) and conventional therapy can accelerate the resolution of acute diarrhea in dogs. A total of 39 client-owned dogs experiencing acute diarrhea of less than 5 days duration were enrolled and randomly assigned to Group A, conventionally treated control (no aqua-AP); Group B, conventionally treated control plus sham aqua-AP (subcutaneous injection of vitamin B12 at a non-acupuncture point); or Group C, conventionally treated plus aqua-AP at GV-1 (vitamin B12 injected at GV-1 acupuncture point). Conventional treatment, uniformly applied to all patients, consisted of a bland diet, metronidazole and probiotics. Each owner, blinded to the group assignment of their dog, reported the time duration from the start of the treatment to the first observed normal stool (denoted as Tns). Study results revealed a significant difference among the Tns values of the 3 study groups. The mean±SD Tns in Group A was 68.0±59.5 hours and 59.5±41.6 hours in Group B. Group C was 22.6±28.6 hours, which was more than 50% shorter than each of the other 2 groups. Furthermore, the proportion of subjects in Group C, whose first stool after treatment initiation was normal, was significantly greater than the other groups (A: 7.7%; B: 7.7%, and C 46.2%; p = 0.029). These findings suggest that aqua-AP at GV-1 can be an effective integrated treatment with conventional therapy for resolving acute diarrhea in dogs. Further studies with a larger sample size, and comparisons with other conventional treatments are warranted.

Authors: Costa William Henrique Pereira , Silva Luiz Eduardo Borges da
Published: July 2023

Objetivos: A classificação dos sinais de eletroencefalograma (EEG) é a base para a construção de sistemas com interface cérebro-computador. Seu desenvolvimento depara-se com a complexidade dos sinais de EEG, que se diferem de sujeito para sujeito, tornando sua classificação complexa. Diante disso, esse trabalho visa comparar o desempenho de uma rede neural artificial utilizando diferentes técnicas de processamento de sinal, na classificação de um estado de repouso e dois estados de imaginação de movimento (IM). Métodos: Para esse trabalho, utilizou-se de três técnicas estatísticas de processamento de sinais e uma Rede Neural Convolucional. O banco de dados utilizado para a classificação consiste no registro de EEG de 109 voluntários, disponibilizado pela Physionet. Resultado e Conclusão: Observou-se que a Análise de Componentes Principais reduziu o custo computacional sem perda de desempenho na acurácia. Entretanto, a Análise de Componentes Independentes e a Análise Espectral Singular não obtiveram resultados promissores.

Mapping Relationships Between Documentary Standards, Regulations, Frameworks, and Guidelines
Authors: Scarfone Karen , Souppaya Murugiah , Fagan Michael
Published: July 2023

This document describes an approach that NIST would use and other parties could use for mapping the elements of documentary standards, regulations, frameworks, and guidelines to NIST publications, such as CSF Subcategories or SP 800-53r5 controls. NIST intends for this approach to be used for future mappings involving NIST cybersecurity and privacy publications that will be submitted via the NIST National Online Informative References (OLIR) process for hosting on NIST’s online Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool (CPRT). By following this approach, NIST and others in the cybersecurity and privacy standards community can jointly establish a single concept system over time that links cybersecurity and privacy concepts from many sources into a cohesive, consistent set of relationship mappings within the NIST CPRT. The approach is informed by concept system and terminology standards, as well as experience with what information the cybersecurity and privacy community would find most valuable.
Be Rising Multitude: Zombie Invasion and the Problem of Biopolitics in Max Brooks's World War Z
Authors: Słotwińska Karolina
Published: July 2023

This essay outlines the transnational history of the zombie, arguing for the figure’s revolutionary potential. Approaching the zombie as a complex social practice, I recall its ritualistic African and Haitian roots, the figure’s transposition from Haitian folklore into American ethnographic writings, and its later Hollywood reconfigurations. Insisting on the zombie’s proto-biopolitical character, I propose to see the figure’s continued cultural currency as predicated on its articulation of political dynamics in the globalized world. Noting the historically inscribed rebellious potential of the zombie, I hold that the newest zombie novels suggest that the zombie horde can be seen as a new political subject in the era of late capitalism—the multitude, heralded by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri. The transnational nature of the zombie multitude is explored in this essay in the context of Max Brooks’s World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (2006), which capitalizes on the possible awareness-raising potential of the modern pop-cultural evocations of the zombie.
The Qualified Self
Authors: Humphreys Lee
Published: July 2023

Social critiques argue that social media has made us narcissistic, that Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube are all vehicles for me-promotion. This book offers a different view. It shows that sharing the mundane details of our lives—what we ate for lunch, where we went on vacation, who dropped in for a visit—didn't begin with mobile devices and social media. People have used media to catalog and share their lives for several centuries. Pocket diaries, photo albums, and baby books are the predigital precursors of today's digital and mobile platforms for posting text and images. The ability to take selfies has not turned us into needy narcissists; it's part of a longer story about how people account for everyday life. The book refers to diaries in which eighteenth-century daily life is documented with the brevity and precision of a tweet, and cites a nineteenth-century travel diary in which a young woman complains that her breakfast didn't agree with her. Diaries, the author explains, were often written to be shared with family and friends. Pocket diaries were as mobile as smartphones, allowing the diarist to record life in real time. Humphreys calls this chronicling, in both digital and nondigital forms, media accounting. The sense of self that emerges from media accounting is not the purely statistics-driven “quantified self,” but the more well-rounded qualified self. We come to understand ourselves in a new way through the representations of ourselves that we create to be consumed.
Resource allocation strategies to achieve malaria eradication

Published: July 2023

Large reductions in the global malaria burden have been achieved in the last decades, but plateauing funding poses a challenge for progressing towards the ultimate goal of malaria eradication. We aimed to determine the optimal strategy to allocate global resources to achieve this goal.Using previously published mathematical models of
Plasmodium falciparum
and
Plasmodium vivax
transmission incorporating insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) as an illustrative intervention, we sought to identify the global funding allocation that maximized impact under defined objectives and across a range of global funding budgets.We found that the optimal strategy for case reduction closely mirrored an allocation framework that prioritizes funding for high-transmission settings, resulting in total case reductions of 76% (optimal strategy) and 66% (prioritizing high-transmission settings) at intermediate budget levels. Allocation strategies that had the greatest impact on case reductions were associated with lesser near-term impacts on the global population at risk, highlighting a trade-off between reducing burden and “shrinking the map” through a focus on near-elimination settings. The optimal funding distribution prioritized high ITN coverage in high-transmission settings endemic for
P. falciparum
only, while maintaining lower levels in low-transmission settings. However, at high budgets, 62% of funding was targeted to low-transmission settings co-endemic for
P. falciparum
and
P. vivax
.These results support current global strategies to prioritize funding to high-burden
P. falciparum
-endemic settings in sub-Saharan Africa to minimize clinical malaria burden and progress towards elimination but highlight competing goals of reducing the global population at risk and addressing the burden of
P. vivax
.
Mapping seahorses in a Brazilian estuary: mangrove structures as key predictors for distribution and habitat preference
Authors: Borges Anna Karolina Martins , Alves Rômulo Romeu Nóbrega , Oliveira Tacyana Pereira Ribeiro
Published: July 2023

Planning for effective conservation demands an accurate understanding of the ecological aspects of species, particularly their distribution and habitat preferences. This is even more critical in the case of data-poor, rare, and threatened species, such as seahorses, mainly when they inhabit vulnerable ecosystems like estuaries. Given the importance of better understanding these parameters to design seahorse conservation strategies, we mapped the distribution and assessed habitat preferences of longsnout seahorses (Hippocampus reidi) in a mangrove estuary in a Brazilian protected area. Using generalised linear mixed-effects models we found that dense mangrove cover macro-habitats and shallow depths predicted seahorse sightings and higher densities. Furthermore, the selective index of micro-habitats used by seahorses showed that seahorses exhibited a preference for mangrove structures as holdfasts (i.e., fallen branches). Due to the significant importance of mangroves in providing suitable habitats for H. reidi in estuaries, it is crucial to enforce the protection of these ecosystems in conservation and management strategies for the species.
HORA DE FOLGAR OS ESPARTILHOS
Authors: Silva Larissa Amaral da
Published: July 2023

O direito civil foi, durante muitos anos, um instrumento legitimador do sistema patriarcalista e da desigualdade de gênero. As lutas traçadas por mulheres promoveram avanços no âmbito normativo, embora, os reflexos do machismo institucionalizado persistam na sociedade brasileira. Desse modo, o objetivo deste artigo consiste em analisar a evolução do direito civil, a partir do recorte de gênero, demonstrando os resquícios do patriarcalismo na sociedade e no judiciário, bem como a sub-representação feminina nos espaços de poder. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, baseada na análise da legislação e pesquisa documental, fundada no mapeamento de notícias e documentos acerca da temática. A conclusão aponta que os avanços normativos, por si só, são incapazes de desconstruir os muros que foram criados pela submissão histórica da mulher. Nesse sentido, o feminismo emerge como um mecanismo emancipador e de transformação social capaz de romper com os paradigmas impostos.
RECONHECIMENTO DA FILIAÇÃO SOCIOAFETIVA POST MORTEM
Authors: Pereira Aléssia
Published: July 2023

No Direito das Famílias contemporâneo, a afetividade ganha destaque especial, sobretudo com a valorização da dignidade humana homenageada como princípio constitucional. Desde então, admite-se a possibilidade da parentalidade oriunda de laços de afeto, e não somente aquele parentesco formado pela biologia. Contudo, a parentalidade socioafetiva torna-se mais difícil de ser verificada quando ocorre o falecimento de uma das partes que formam a relação. Este artigo tem por objetivo discorrer sobre o tema da declaração de parentesco socioafetivo post mortem. Para isso, após a conceituação de alguns termos, como filiação socioafetiva, é realizada a exposição dos fundamentos legais e requisitos para declaração do seu reconhecimento, até abordar as situações que ocorrem com a superveniência da morte. Com o intuito de avaliar a ótica do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, são apresentados dois casos que discutem a filiação socioafetiva post mortem. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, que utiliza o método hipotético-dedutivo para comentar a visão do STJ sobre os assuntos citados.

As discussões sobre o Relato Integrado  surgiram em 2009, com a criação do International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), tendo como objetivo explicar como a entidade gera valor ao longo do tempo. Todavia, a África do Sul já desenvolvia diretrizes de relatório integrado desde 1994, as quais contribuíram para o modelo do  atual. Dado esse pioneirismo e o significativo tempo de experiência, o objetivo deste trabalho é verificar o nível de alinhamento das informações sobre os passivos ambientais contidas no Relato Integrado , nas Demonstrações Financeiras e no Relatório de Sustentabilidade das empresas da África, listadas no endereço eletrônico do IIRC, no ano de 2019. Para isso, foram coletados os respectivos relatórios das entidades e com o auxílio do Software Nvivo, foi identificado a compatibilidade entre as informações dos passivos ambientais. Como resultado, foi encontrado que em 43,75% da amostra continha alinhamento nas informações sobre os passivos ambientais nos relatórios divulgados, 31,25% tinham suas informações parcialmente compatíveis e, em 25% nenhum relacionamento. Portanto, na África, considerando a amostra analisada, o período e o desenho da pesquisa, o  ainda não chegou em um estágio de amadurecimento, visto que os aspectos de materialidade, comparabilidade e completude precisam de mais atenção para cumprir com os Princípios Básicos do . Esses resultados estão relacionados com a teoria da legitimidade. Além disso, o setor, tipo de obrigação ambiental, ativo total e resultado do período tiveram uma relação positiva com o nível de alinhamento das informações sobre passivos ambientais.

Many cases of cyberbullying happen to teenagers, but in Indonesia the empirical topic of cyberbullying has not been widely used, especially in rural adolescents in coastal areas, especially Pematang Guntung Village. This paper aims to analyze cases of cyberbullying in Pematang Gunung Village on social media. The method used in this research is qualitative. The research location in this study was carried out in the coastal area of ​​Pematang Guntung Village by determining which informants would be used to obtain data. The researcher used purposive sampling technique. The results showed that most of the teenagers in the coastal area of ​​Pematang Guntung Village knew about cyberbullying on social media. This is because the phenomenon of cyberbullying is not something new and they often encounter them on their social media accounts, especially on Facebook and Instagram. However, teenagers on the coast of Pematang Guntung Village still do not understand cyberbullying in the literature, starting from the definition of cyberbullying, the types of cyberbullying, and regulations regarding cyberbullying. This is because the phenomenon of cyberbullying is not new and they often encounter them on their social media accounts, especially on Facebook and Instagram.

Published: July 2023

A munkakör kialakítása az emberierőforrás-menedzsment kritikus területei közé tartozik. A job crafting (magyarul munkakör- átalakítás, munkakörátszabás) során az egyén átformálja a munkakörét, fokozva a pozitív munkatapasztalatát. Ez a tanulmány a job crafting kutatásokat bővíti azzal, hogy megvizsgálja, hogy vajon a különböző job crafting gyakorlatok közül elkülöníthetők-e egyének csoportjára jellemző profilok, és ha igen, akkor ezek a profilok különböznek-e a szervezeti elkötelezettség szempontjából. A vizsgálat résztvevői a magyar lakosság köréből kerültek ki egy 500 fős reprezentatív felmérés eredményeképpen. A kutatás eredményeként a szerzők azonosíthattak négy egymástól szignifikánsan eltérő egyéni job crafting profilt, amelyek eltérő kapcsolatot mutatnak a szervezeti elkötelezettség érzelmi, folytonossági és normatív komponenseivel. A cikk a vonatkozó elméleti és gyakorlati implikációkat is bemutatja.
Radiographic observations on the use of two different regeneration materials in a single subject: Case study
Authors: Galgut Peter N.
Published: July 2023

Two infrabony defects (i.e. defects in tooth supporting bone that extend into the body of the bone) in different sites in the same individual were treated surgically. Tissue regeneration was incorporated into the surg-ical procedures using a different material in each site (oxidized cellulose mesh and bioglass). The post surgical radiographic appearance showed increasing calcification in both sites that was not complete even at 15 months after placement. The radiographic appearance of both sites was similar but calcification was observed above the crest of alveolar bone in the oxidized cellulose mesh site that was not present with bioglass site. As calcification did not appear to be complete by 15 months after place-ment and it did not resemble true bone in either site, it would appear that the regenerative process was not yet complete by this time. Bone regeneration may therefore progress slowly over a protracted period of time after placement. Some evidence is present that oxidized cellulose mesh may have enhanced regenerative capacity by comparison to other synthetic bone regeneration materials such as hydroxyapatite and bioglass. No conclusions could be drawn from this single case study and further work is necessary to confirm and investigate these observations more fully.
Coordination of Atrial Fibrillation Management in the Emergency Department and Outpatient Settings
Authors: Sharif Zain , Ptaszek Leon
Published: July 2023

Historically, a majority of patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with a primary diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) have been admitted to an inpatient unit. Treatment protocols for AF management in the ED have been shown to reduce the need for inpatient admissions and improve adherence to treatment guidelines for the administration of oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy. Establishment of outpatient follow-up is a necessary part of discharging patients with AF from the ED. Follow-up planning can present a challenge for clinicians in the ED setting, as many patients who present to the ED with AF do not have an established cardiologist or cardiac electrophysiologist. Inability to arrange timely outpatient follow-up can therefore represent a barrier to discharge from the ED. The presence of outpatient clinics dedicated to AF management can help clinicians in the ED to manage patients with AF more efficiently. In this review, we describe the components of dedicated AF clinics. We also describe aspects of patient care that can be improved through implementation of dedicated AF outpatient clinics. These improvements include enhanced adherence with OAC therapy, reduced hospital re-admissions, improved patient outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs.

Authors: Pristianto Arif , Utami Kanthi Ilham
Published: July 2023

Morbus Hansen or leprosy is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This disease attacks the peripheral nerves and other organs or systems in the body. M. leprae attacks the stratum corneum so that it makes the skin rough, scaly and cracked or what is called xerosis. The appearance of xerosis is due to mechanisms that contribute to decreased hydration of the stratum corneum and defects in sweat gland function. Prevention of damage to the integrity of the skin (xerosis) in leprosy patients can use olive oil, vaseline, coconut oil, and olive oil. This case report was conducted to determine the effect of massage with olive oil and scrub in overcoming skin problems in leprosy subjects. Providing a physiotherapy program at the Donorejo Leprosy Rehabilitation Unit in Jepara, using physiotherapy modalities in the form of massage with olive oil and scrubs. After therapy was carried out on the subject by giving massage with olive oil and scrub, there was a significant decrease in the ODSS scale value from an initial value of two to a value of one. The results showed that massage with olive oil and scrub was effective in improving the skin of leprosy patients which could be used as an alternative intervention in skin care for leprosy sufferers to prevent further defects.
On the existence of a positive solution to a boundary value problem for one nonlinear functional-differential equation of fractional order
Authors: Abduragimov Gusen E.
Published: July 2023

The following boundary value problem is considered:
D_(0+)^α x(t)+f(t,(Tx)(t) )=0,0<t<1,где α ∈(n-1,n],n∈N,n>2,
x(0)=x^' (0)= ⋯ =x^((n-2) ) (0)=0,
x(1)=0.
This problem reduces to an equivalent integral equation with a monotone operator in the space C of functions continuous on [0,1] (the space C is assumed to be an ordered cone of nonnegative functions satisfying the boundary conditions of the problem under consideration). Using the well-known Krasnosel’sky theorem about fixed points of the operator of expansion (compression) of a cone, the existence of at least one positive solution of the problem under consideration is proved. An example is given that illustrates the fulfillment of sufficient conditions that ensure the solvability of the problem. The results obtained continue the author’s research (see [Russian Universities Reports. Mathematics, 27:138 (2022), 129–135]) devoted to the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions to boundary value problems for nonlinear functional-differential equations.
Study the Quality of Nasopharyngeal plans Using Evaluation Indexes of IMRT and VMAT Treatment planning Techniques

Published: July 2023

Radiation treatment has long been the conventional approach for treating nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) tumors due to its anatomic features, biological characteristics, and radiosensitivity. The most common treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma is radiotherapy. This study aimed to assess the better quality of radiotherapy treatment techniques using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT). The VMAT and IMRT are comparative techniques. Forty patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and forwarded for radiotherapy were treated with both advanced techniques, IMRT and VMAT, using eclipse software from Varian. The x-ray energy was set at 6 MV. The total prescribed dose was 70 Gy. The results show that the VMAT had better tumor coverage than the IMRT. Regarding quality indices, the IMRT shows a better dose homogeneity, while the VMAT gives better gradient and conformity indices. The best technique that reduces the dose to the right eye, optic chiasm, and thyroid is VMAT, while the esophagus and spinal cord are protected better with IMRT. The VMAT shows a special effect for IMRT for treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
