Authors: Shamsuri Ahmad Adlie , Abdan Khalina , Md. Jamil Siti Nurul Ain
Published: July 2022

An increase in the environmental consciousness at present has enhanced the awareness of researchers in utilizing biodegradable materials for the production of environmentally friendly products. Currently, biodegradable polymers, for example, polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, polycaprolactone, etc., can be utilized as matrices to produce green composites. Meanwhile, natural fibers have been used as fillers for green composites as they are biodegradable and renewable. In this brief review, the physicochemical properties of selected biodegradable polymer, specifically polybutylene succinate, are demonstrated. Moreover, examples of natural fibers that are usually used to produce green composites are also shown. Additionally, practical methods employed for the preparation of green composites were exposed. The tensile properties of green composites, such as the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break at different loadings of natural fibers, are also briefly reviewed. The information obtained in this review provides detailed differences in the preparation methods of green composites. In addition, this brief review supplies a clearer comprehension of the tensile properties of green composites for the usage of semistructural and packaging applications.

Objectives

Chronic vulvar pain (CVP) is pain in the vulvar area exceeding three months of duration. Previous studies have reported a prevalence of 7–8% in the general population and observed an association between CVP and other chronic pain, affective disorders and early life stressors. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of CVP among gynecological outpatients and to explore its association with child sexual abuse, comorbid fibromyalgia and mental health.

Methods

We conducted a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study among consecutive women attending an unselected general gynecological outpatient clinic at St Olav’s University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway, during the period August 1st, 2017, to June 30th, 2018. CVP was defined as having experienced either vulvar burning, sharp pain or allodynia for three months or more within the previous year. Fibromyalgia was defined as widespread pain in the past six months in conjunction with a symptom severity score ≥5 on the fibromyalgia symptom severity score inventory, an ordinal scale from zero to 12. We collected information on sexual coercion experience and assessed mental health with the mental health inventory (MHI-5) of the SF-36 health survey, which yields a zero to five scale.

Results

Of 1,125 questionnaires distributed, 810 (72%) were returned, and 762 (68%) included in final analyses. Among these, 130 (17.1%) reported CVP within the previous year and 92 (16.7%) were classified as suffering from fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia was associated with CVP (adjusted OR of 1.8, 95% CI 1.1–3.1). Child sexual abuse was reported by 96 (13.1%) and was associated with CVP (adjusted OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2–3.3). CVP and fibromyalgia were both associated with lower mental health scores; 0.51 and 0.58 points on the MHI-5 scale, respectively.

Conclusions

Chronic vulvar pain is common among women in a gynecological outpatient clinic and associated with child sexual abuse, comorbid fibromyalgia and worse mental health. Ethical committee number: REK Midt No. 2016/2150.
Incremental Attribute Reduction Algorithm for Smart City Local Area Communication Systems Based on Similarity Relation
Authors: Jing Li
Published: July 2022

The wide application of local area communication system brings comprehensive data information but also increases the difficulty of data mining and analysis. Therefore, the data mining preprocessing link-attribute reduction is studied. The research is divided into three parts: first, the method of distinguished matrix fast calculating is used for discerning the core attributes of a data set; second, the k-nearest neighbor algorithm is used to calculate the attribute as well as the similarity coefficient between condition attributes, and to finish at the beginning of attribute reduction; and third, the global optimization ability of particle swarm algorithm implementation attribute reduction is used again to complete local area communication system incremental attribute reduction targets. The results show that compared with the three previous reduction algorithms, the proposed algorithm has the least number of attributes and the least number of iterations, which proves the reduction degree and efficiency of the proposed method.
La/V Codoping Induced Modification in the Structural, Optical, and Electrical Properties of TCO TiO2 Nanoparticles
Authors: Dakhel A. A.
Published: July 2022

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) anatase (A) nanoparticles co-doped with La/V ions were synthesized by a precipitation technique. The samples were structurally characterized by the X-ray diffraction and optically by the absorption spectroscopy methods. It was concluded under certain preparation conditions in the formation of substitutional solid solutions of type core/shell structure. Therefore, dielectric investigations were performed and established the creation of weak colossal permittivity (CP) with prepared La/V-codoped TiO2 (A). The results were explained in the framework of the core/shell model and doping mechanisms. The calcination of the samples at 1,000°C transformed the [A] structure to rutile [R] and removed the CP. Moreover, it was established that the preparation of the ceramic by a solid-state reaction processing technique of fine powders of mixed oxides (TiO2, La2O3, and V2O5) cannot create CP. Therefore, the preparation procedure is a critical condition to obtain CP.
Corrosion Protection of Phosphate Conversion Coatings to Carbon Steel in the Presence of Bacterial Biofilms
Authors: Francetic M. , Madrid S. , Viera M.
Published: July 2022

Despite its relatively limited corrosion resistance, carbon steel is one of the most widely used engineering materials. An effective technique to improve its corrosion resistance, particularly during transport and storage, is phosphating. On the other hand, it is well known that different environmental bacteria can grow and develop on metal surfaces, forming biofilms. Some of those bacteria are capable of solubilizing phosphate. The objective of this work was to evaluate the stability of iron and manganese phosphate conversion coatings applied on SAE 1010 carbon steel in the presence of biofilms for two environmental bacterial strains: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Paenebacillus sp. Both strains are biofilm-forming and phosphate solubilizing bacteria. Electrochemical techniques complemented with surface observation by scanning electron microscopy were applied. The electrochemical results showed that, although the presence of a bacterial biofilm in most cases produced a decrease in the corrosion rate, they provoked a shift of the pitting potential to more active values. This shift led to narrower passive zones, compromising the protection provided by the phosphate conversion coating to the 1010 SAE carbon steel by facilitating the onset of localized corrosion. The degree of the compromise of passivity was dependent on the coating and the bacterial strain. P. aeruginosa biofilms were more detrimental for both coatings than the Paenabacillus sp. biofilms. Thus, it is important to point out that to maintain the corrosion protection imparted by phosphate conversion coating to carbon steel, it is necessary to avoid the development of biofilms on the coated surface.

The Study of Home-Buyers’ Satisfaction Towards Purchasing Houses in Residential Areas
Authors: Tutur Nur Afiqa , Azmy Nurhidayah
Published: July 2022

As the world evolves across cultures and centuries, people has become master builders and construct different kinds of houses for themselves and the community. Houses act as shelters and typically have basic features that protects the occupants from rain or sunlight, however, the features and functionality of houses nowadays has gone through so much improvement to cater the needs of homebuyers. Most homebuyers decides on purchasing a house based on their limited knowledge on real estate purchasing, and a lot of them did not conduct research prior to purchasing a house. This resulted in dissatisfied homebuyers and end up making them spend more money in the long term as to perform maintenance work (if they purchased low quality houses). This paper explores the satisfaction of homebuyers towards purchasing houses in residential area by validating the three contributing factors towards achieving homebuyers’ satisfaction found from the literature. This study assists in highlighting the vital aspects that developers should focus on in residential construction in order to increase the level of satisfaction of homebuyers during the post-construction phase. Three factors were identified from the literature as the factors contributing to homebuyers’ satisfaction which are (i) home warranty, (ii) suitable location with complete facilities, and (iii) security protection. A total of 55 questionnaires were distributed to homebuyers in Taman Nusa Intan, Senawang, Negeri Sembilan. Based on the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, all variables have positive correlations and indicates that the three factors do contribute towards homebuyers’ satisfaction in purchasing houses. In order to achieve homebuyers’ satisfaction, developers need to ensure that workmanship during construction is performed according to standards to avoid resulting in bad quality and hence produce defects during the handover process to the homebuyers. Defects that were identified then need to be made good during the warranty period and need to be exercised fully to benefit the homebuyers.

Human Governance refers to the governors’ commitment to improve employees’ values and ethical behaviour in the organization. Humans are capital asset and key driver to a successful organisation. The objectives of the study are to explain the development of human governance index and discuss the findings of human governance index when applied to 68 Shariah-compliant companies in the manufacturing sector. Previous study used primary and secondary data. Thus, this study will combine the indices of Human Governance from previous study and will develop a more comprehensive checklist using secondary data. Human Governance Index of this study comprises 37 items which are made up of four (4) main components which are (1) BOD Leadership - which is measured by i) BOD Job Experience Index, (ii) BOD Educational Background Index, (iii) BOD Educational Level Index, (iv) BOD Age Index, (v) BOD Gender Diversity Index; (2) Level of Integrity Index; (3) BOD Quantity of Training Index; and (4) Quality of Internal Control System Index. The index has been validated by panel experts and inter-rater consistency was also conducted. The index was then used to measure the Human Governance Index of 68 Shariah-compliant companies’ annual reports for the year 2019. 68 Shariah-compliant companies are from manufacturing companies which comprise 25 consumer products, 3 healthcare, and 40 industrial products. The results of this study revealed that consumer product sector has the highest items compared to industrial product and healthcare sectors. BOD job experience index has the highest mean of 92.9% indicates that BOD has more than 10 years’ experience and BOD gender diversity index has the lowest mean of 17.6% which comprises female. Human governance Index can be used to assist companies to improve their human capital who are important assets to the company and have been proven to increase performance of companies if they are better managed.
Political Freedoms and Rights in Relation to the COVID-19 Pandemic in Poland and Hungary in a Comparative Legal Perspective
Authors: Hoffman István , Kostrubiec Jarosław
Published: July 2022

The subject of the article are selected political rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Polish and Hungarian constitutions, which are analysed in the context of possible limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis covers the right to vote in elections and referendums, the freedom of expression and opinion, and the freedom of assembly. The main aim of the article is to identify similarities and differences in the legal solutions adopted in Poland and Hungary in the context of restrictions or threats to political freedoms and rights. As a result of the research carried out, the authors positively verified the hypothesis that Poland and Hungary, although they chose different methodologies to implement the specific legal order applicable due to the coronavirus pandemic, namely Hungary has introduced one of the constitutional states of exception, i.e. the state of danger, while Poland did not introduce a state of natural disaster, the formula for sanctioning restrictions on political freedoms and rights with secondary legislation was similar in both countries. The authors express the view that continuous efforts should be made to develop legal institutions that would allow for a balance between the need to preserve political rights and freedoms and the need to make quick decisions in relation to the pandemic and citizens’ right to health. A pandemic should never be an excuse for those in power to restrict political freedoms and rights for longer periods of time, so as not to make these freedoms and rights the next victims of the SARS-CoV–2 virus.
Freedom of Assembly in the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Limits of its Restraints in the Context of the Experiences of the Republic of Poland and the United States of America
Authors: Syryt Aleksandra , Przywora Bogusław , Dobrzeniecki Karol
Published: July 2022

The aim of the study is to illustrate the problem of freedom of assembly during the COVID-19 pandemic against the background of the experiences of the Republic of Poland and the United States of America. This freedom is provided for in the constitutions of both states, which implies that public authorities are obliged to implement it also in COVID-19 conditions. Hence, the question arises as to whether, and if so to what extent, public authorities in Poland and the United States (countries belonging to the United Nations and obliged to consider the standards of human rights protection resulting from international law) applied solutions realising freedom of assembly in the conditions of COVID-19. The authors try to determine the extent of the impact of legal measures applied by public authorities in both countries on the realisation of freedom of assembly and the public reaction produced by these measures. The choice of such a context for assessment was justified by differences in the legal culture of the countries being compared, the structure of the state, and the approach of both the public authorities and the society to freedom of assembly.

Restrictions on the Right to Vote in the Pandemic during the Election of the President of the Republic of Poland in 2020
Authors: Kielin-Maziarz Joanna , Skotnicki Krzysztof
Published: July 2022

In 2020, presidential elections were due to be conducted in Poland. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, it was decided not to introduce a state of natural disaster and, as a consequence, postpone the elections but to execute them on the grounds of episodicact. On the basis of the first episodic law, from 6 April 2020, the elections did not take place because they were completely unprepared. This law had many flaws. The elections were to be purely postal, so voters had no possibility of choosing which method to use to vote. The law’s entry into force on the eve of the election meant that voters were disoriented until the last minute and did not know how they could vote, whether they would receive election packages, where they would have to deliver return envelopes with a ballot paper and were not sure whether their vote would be counted. The second episodic law, of 2 June 2020, did not contain so many flaws, and voters in the country could decide for themselves which method to use. However, voting was very difficult abroad, and in 20 countries was not carried out at all. There were also only three days to submit election objections. However, above all, the lack of impartiality in the public media, especially public television, which supported the candidate promoted by the ruling majority, limited voters’ right to access truth-based information on public matters, candidates and their political programmes. These circumstances prompt us to consider whether the presidential elections in Poland in 2020 met the constitutional requirement of universality, equality and secrecy, and whether they were reliable and fair. Do they therefore serve to legitimize the office of the president of the Republic of Poland?
The Election for the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland on 10 May 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic – A Case Study
Authors: Grabowski Radosław , Grabowska Sabina
Published: July 2022

Citizens’ election rights are among the most important political rights in a democratic state. The SARS-CoV–2 pandemic has brought chaos to countries and thus to their proper functioning. Therefore, the authors of the text, analysing the case of the presidential elections in 2020, put forward the thesis that the provisions regulating the rules of these elections contain significant gaps, which were revealed by the pandemic. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997 contains a catalogue of conditions that make it possible to elect a president under an extraordinary procedure. They all relate to a necessity to shorten the president’s term of office. However, no rules consider the likelihood of other obstacles to voting by the deadline, such as a pandemic.

Published: July 2022

La crisis política del Perú se inicia el 10 de noviembre de 2020 con la vacancia por incapacidad moral de Martín Vizcarra. Tras este hecho, el presidente del Congreso, Manuel Merino, asumió la presidencia transitoria, pero tuvo que renunciar el 15 de noviembre por las protestas en rechazo a su mandato, en las que hubo heridos y dos muertos. Dos días después, Francisco Sagasti asumió la presidencia y se encargó de convocar a nuevas elecciones. De este modo, en mayo del 2021, se realizó el primer debate electoral entre los candidatos que representan ideologías contrarias y que pasaron a segunda vuelta: Pedro Castillo y Keiko Fujimori. En este artículo, analizamos expresiones metafóricas y metonímicas utilizadas en el debate político, bajo la propuesta de la semántica cognitiva (Lakoff y Johnson, 1980; Ruiz de Mendoza y Pérez Hernández, 2001), con el fin de explicar cómo se categorizó la política, la salud, el país, la educación y la economía en la campaña electoral peruana. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que ambos políticos coinciden en su visión de la política como una guerra, pero se diferencian en la forma de entender la economía, la salud y la educación.
Estudio de las actitudes lingüísticas en bilingües quechua-castellano del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho hacia la lengua quechua
Authors: Ytusaca Quispe Claudia Adela
Published: July 2022

José Carlos Mariátegui, asentamiento humano del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho (Lima, Perú), es una comunidad donde coexisten e interactúan personas con distintas culturas, entre ellas, pobladores bilingües del castellano y el quechua. Este contexto permite evidenciar la relación entre la lengua y la sociedad, mediante las actitudes lingüísticas que presentan sus habitantes. En este sentido, el presente estudio es un acercamiento a la descripción de las actitudes lingüísticas de un grupo de migrantes andinos bilingües (quechua-castellano) hacia su lengua materna, el quechua, frente al castellano. Desde el enfoque de la teoría mentalista y sus dimensiones: conativo, cognitivo y afectivo, así como también,  con la aplicación de un cuestionario y una entrevista de corte sociolingüístico, se analizó la percepción que tienen los adultos bilingües mariateguinos hacia su lengua materna. Los resultados demostraron la valoración positiva hacia el quechua, principalmente desde la dimensión afectiva.
Lenguaje del cuerpo en la danza
Authors: Lovón Cueva Carolina Mirian
Published: July 2022

Este artículo aborda la noción del cuerpo como manifestación de expresión corporal y lingüística. Se analiza al cuerpo desde las fenomenologías de Husserl y de Merleau-Ponty, y el enfoque dancístico occidental. Para el siglo XIX, surge una nueva concepción de recuperar el “cuerpo” como representación del ser humano, aquel que siente y es consciente del estar en este mundo. También, el cuerpo es revalorado desde su expresividad y comunicabilidad a través del movimiento. Los cuerpos danzantes configuran un discurso sobre lo que vivencian. Este planteamiento considera el cuerpo que danza como forma de percibir y ser percibido desde el lenguaje. Esto posibilitaría un acercamiento de lo que se entiende por cuerpo dentro de las esferas de la filosofía, la danza y la lingüística.
Los deícticos aquí, acá, ahí, allí y allá en "¡Diles que no me maten!" de Juan Rulfo
Authors: Gavilán Sierra Yan Carlos , Rosario López Flor Esther
Published: July 2022

La estética rulfiana nos presenta en la superficie textual, de manera explícita, la presencia de los demostrativos aquí, acá, ahí, allí y allá conjugados en la narración, ya sea manifiesta por el narrador o a través de la voz de los personajes que adoptan la perspectiva rural. Así, en este artículo, se estudia el sistema deíctico aquí, acá, ahí, allí y allá en el cuento «¡Diles que no me maten!» de Juan Rulfo desde la perspectiva del sistema tradicional de los deícticos y la perspectiva cognoscitiva planteada por Stradioto y Maldonado (2018), con el objetivo de explicitar las dinámicas y variabilidades que adquieren estos sistemas deícticos en el cuento señalado. Para ello, se utiliza el método documental (Galeano, 2004) que permite codificar y sistematizar precisamente, y la lingüística del texto para el análisis de los deícticos presentes en la superficie textual del cuento mencionado. Finalmente, se concluye que los deícticos presentes en el cuento «¡Diles que no me maten!»  presentan variabilidad de significación, hecho que corrobora el planteamiento de Stradioto y Maldonado.
La construcción simbólico-discursiva de Volodymir Zelensky: la actualización del mito de héroe
Authors: Pfleger Sabine
Published: July 2022

En este artículo se analiza la figura de Volodymir Zelensky, presidente de Ucrania, como una actualización del arquetipo del héroe clásico. El enfoque de este trabajo son los estudios del discurso en un acercamiento con herramientas de la lingüística cognitiva (van Dijk, 1985; 1990; 2012; Jaworski y Copland, 2006; Hart, 2010; Pfleger, 2018; 2021). En un corpus de diez discursos cortos en formato de video, producidos y difundidos por Volodymir Zelensky, se analizan los rasgos discursivo-lingüísticos focalizados que éste utiliza para retratarse en el marco del modelo cognitivo idealizado (MCI) de héroe, así como los rasgos discursivo-lingüísticos dinámicos con los que se actualiza este modelo. Como resultado del análisis se concluye que Volodymir Zelensky tiene rasgos focalizados del modelo mítico del héroe clásico y se autoconstruye discursivamente como la actualización de este, como un héroe popular y mediático del siglo XXI.

Authors: Albarracín Lelia Inés , Gómez Nazar Regina Fernanda
Published: July 2022

La variedad dialectal quechua hablada en la provincia de Santiago del Estero, Rep.Argentina, dispone básicamente de dos mecanismos que permiten incrementar la valencia verbal: la incorporación de causativos o de aplicativos. En un artículo anterior hemos descripto los mecanismos de incremento de valencia verbal mediante aplicativos para el caso de los verbos intransitivos. En este trabajo retomamos dicha cuestión y ampliamos el análisis para verbos unitransitivos y ditransitivos mediante ejemplos con verbos de diferente estructura valencial. Hemos considerado, también, casos de combinaciones entre aplicativos, sus restricciones y las diferentes interpretaciones que surgen de acuerdo al contexto. Los resultados obtenidos nos han permitido determinar los límites que las valencias verbales imponen al comportamiento de los diferentes tipos de aplicativos.

El estado peruano y las lenguas originarias en la actualidad
Authors: Cabanillas Vela Brigitte
Published: July 2022

Las lenguas originarias son un elemento clave para la identidad cultural de una nación; sin embargo, estas se están extinguiendo. A pesar de que durante los últimos años se ha avanzado hacia una sociedad peruana cada vez más tolerante e inclusiva, siguen existiendo barreras para las personas nativohablantes. El presente trabajo estudia el rol que cumple el Estado peruano con respecto a las lenguas originarias en la actualidad. Para ello, se analizan sus roles en el ámbito legal, cultural y educativo. El estudio concluye que, aun cuando se han presentado avances en la revalorización de las lenguas nativas, el Estado peruano aún no ha logrado cumplir su labor.

Published: July 2022

Son pocos los estudios léxicos especializados y serios que se han ido realizando en torno a la gastronomía peruana (Calvo, 2005). Los primeros registros de voces de tal campo semántico han ido apareciendo dentro de diversos diccionarios generales sobre la lengua o las variedades dialectales (Álvarez Vita, 2009) y han sido hechos por profesionales inspirados o dedicados a la investigación gastronómica (Zapata, 2006) sin ser estrictamente lexicógrafos, dejando obras lexicales importantes para el país. Teniendo en cuenta que la comida genera identidad a los peruanos, quienes se enorgullecen mucho de ella por sus platos, bebidas y postres, ameritaba elaborar repertorios léxicos específicos sobre estos, como lo hace ahora con el Léxico de la gastronomía peruana, Pedro Manallay Moreno, lexicógrafo sanmarquino, quien, con las becas de MAEC-AECID de España y la Academia Peruana de la Lengua, ha podido lograr este trabajo.

Зазначений показник Vis OS (ліве око) склав 0,45±0,05 дптр (на початковому обстеженні) та 0,51±0,05 дптр (при кінцевому обстеженні), t-критерій Стьюдента склав 0,88. Рівень значущості склав >0,05, що свідчить про недостовірність змін. Висновки: аналіз ефективності засобів фізичної терапії показав, що регулярні тренування м’язів очей та регулювання ступеню рефракції важливі для збереження зору, вповільненню чи зупиненню прогресування міопії, а також профілактики вікових змін ока та перевтоми очей при напруженій зоровій роботі
Acute carbohydrate loading on anaerobic threshold and VO2 max in active college aged individuals
Authors: Smith Cole , Wolf Randy , Carroll Chris
Published: July 2022

Carbohydrate (CHO) loading is believed to be an ergogenic dietary asset for aerobic performance by maximizing CHO oxidation and to combat glycogen depletion within the working muscle cells. However, evidence-based research has displayed that an increase in fat metabolism, subsequently lower CHO oxidation, may provide sufficient energy during submaximal and maximal exertion through beta oxidation.​​For this reason, active volunteers were recruited to undergo a double-blind study to determine if an acute carbohydrate loading dietary supplement was effective in enhancing performance on a maximal oxygen uptake (VO2) test.​​Eleven college aged (22.09​±1.3) students ​(male n=8, female n=3) participated in this double-blind randomized study. Subjects consumed either a CHO (1g/kg body weight) or placebo supplement followed by a 12 hour fast. Following this fast, first testing session consisted of a seven-point skin caliper for body composition (% body fat), fasting blood glucose as measured by point of care finger stick method using Abbott Precision blood glucose meter (mg/dL), and a VO2 max test (mL/kg/min) measured by a modified Tread Sport Treadmill Protocol. Prior to the second test date, the subject consumed either CHO supplement or placebo, followed by 12 hour fast. Second test day consisted of fasting blood glucose, and VO2​ max test. Protocols were matched for the second bout of testing.​​A paired samples t-test (SPSS v.26) was conducted to determine significance (​p≤0.05​) on each of the four variables: VO2 max, fasting blood glucose (GLU), anaerobic threshold (AT), and respiratory quotient (RQ). No significant differences were found when comparing groups on all variables (VO2 ​p=0.923​,GLU ​p​=0.099​,AT ​p=0.641, ​RQ ​p=0.372​).​​ Acute CHO loading has no significant impact on performance variables as defined by AT, RQ, and VO2 max.

Background: Professional boxing is a popular contact sport with a high risk for both acute and chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although rare, many boxers have died in the ring or soon after the completion of a bout. The most common causes of death in these cases are usually acute subdural hematomas, acute epidural hematomas, a subarachnoid haemorrhage, an intracranial haemorrhage or Second Impact Syndrome (SIS).
Individualizing medical suspension after knockout in boxing-no two knockouts are the same
Authors: K Sethi Nitin
Published: July 2022

Professional boxing carries high risk of acute traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Subdural hematoma is the most common neurological cause of boxing related mortality. Other acute TBIs in boxing include epidural hematoma, intracranial hematoma, cerebral contusions, dissection of large vessels of the neck and concussion. Concussion or mild TBI is common in a sport like boxing where every punch thrown at the head is thrown with the idea of winning by causing a knockout (KO) which is nothing but a concussive injury of the brain. After a KO, the boxer is typically given a medical suspension. The adequate duration of medical suspension after a KO has neither been determined nor standardized.

Writing about the history of the Prophet Muhammad's Da'wah in Mecca aims to analyze how the propaganda strategy carried out by the Prophet Muhammad in spreading Islam in Mecca. The initial stage through the family of the Prophet and his companions or known as the hiding phase. After the Prophet Muhammad cried out in silence, then the revelation of Allah SWT who ordered the Prophet Muhammad to preach openly. In this bright phase the Prophet Muhammad began to face Quraish kafir racial disturbances.

Here we see who the true followers of the Prophet Muhammad and those who just joined in. Weak friends hide their Islam. The Prophet Muhammad secretly preached at the house of Al-Arqam bin Arqam because his house was near the hill of Safa and was a gathering place for many people, so that no one who came to Arqam's house was suspected that there was a meeting there. In addition, Arqam is also a great enemy of the Prophet Muhammad, they have a place of preaching in the heart of the enemy. This is a form of propaganda strategy carried out by the Prophet Muhammad.

In the open phase, the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims began to get harsh treatment, torture and murder. But in the end the Prophet Muhammad was visited by Yathrib, they came to acknowledge that the Prophet Muhammad was the messenger of God even they asked the Prophet Muhammad to be their leader in Yatsrib.
Peran Perempuan Dalam Pewarisan Tradisi Kitab Kuning Pada Madrasah Perti di Minangkabau Pasca Kemerdekaan
Authors: Erman

The research aimed to analyze the social reality which has sympathized for the women role on the inheritance of the kitab kuning tradition in Minangkabau. The reality was formed in Madrasah Perti (MTI Candung and MTI Pasir) that has opened competition markets to women since the beginning of the 20th century to get the influence and legitimacy at inheritance of classical Islamic tradition. As a social field, Madrasah Perti is a place of interaction, socialization and internalization to form intellectual capital that enabled women to reproduce a wider role on the inheritance of the kitab kuning tradition in Minangkabau after Independence.
Exploring Life Narratives on Challenged Religious Vocation
Authors: Paz Petervir A
Published: July 2022

Vocation research has advocated that the current Catholic Church is facing issues regarding its decreasing numbers of religious missionaries, hindering their evangelical pursuits. The purpose of the study was to explore the reactive nature of differing approaches to targeted communities. The study applied a qualitative phenomenological method to the lived experiences of those involved. Three Christian brothers from the congregation of the Alliance of Two Hearts served as participants and engaged in face-to-face interviews. Findings revealed that six themes of discussion emerged from the interviews: calling as communication between God and religious brothers; the call of a religious vocation; resources for conversion efforts; discernment and nurturing in vocation; resilience in the face of troubled conversion; and the impact of vocation on the Christian lifestyle. Additionally, the recognition of one’s calling often involves a period of doubt or crisis of faith. To carry out missionary works, one must recognize the value of doubt in vocation, and how it may be utilized to strengthen one’s beliefs and efforts.
Developing an Autobiographical Elicitation Methodology to Explore Lived Religion among Evangelical Christians Working in Healthcare in England
Authors: Riley Jennifer
Published: July 2022

This article describes the rationale behind and development of a novel methodological combination of autobiographical reflection and semi-structured interviewing. The resulting “autobiographical elicitation” methodology was first used for a recent study of the relationship between work and faith as experienced by evangelical medics working in the National Health Service (NHS) in England. The article argues that autobiographical elicitation successfully fulfilled aims of facilitating lived religion research and generating qualitative data which was directed by what research participants deemed important and meaningful, while remaining conducive to comparative analysis. It also alleviated concerns regarding the limited reflection time offered by semi-structured interviews in isolation, and offered busy participants welcomed convenience and flexibility. The article concludes, therefore, that autobiographical elicitation is a promising methodological combination for lived religion researchers, and more broadly for those keen to generate rich qualitative insights in partnership with busy participants.
Exploring Engaged Spirituality through Martial Arts
Authors: Di Placido Matteo , Pedrini Lorenzo
Published: July 2022

In this article, through a carnal and participant approach to ethnography, we consider the pedagogical repertoires of Boxe Popolare (a style of boxing codified by Italian leftist grassroots groups) and Odaka Yoga (an innovative type of postural yoga blended with martial arts elements). We provide a close reading of what we call the pedagogies of engagement cultivated by these two practices, appreciating how their underlying spiritual philosophies are internalized in self-reflective projects oriented towards societal transformation. Our analysis draws from Pierrre Bourdieu’s dispositional sociology and the concept of “body pedagogics”. With regards to this framework, we explore the physical-spiritual apprenticeship to Boxe Popolare and Odaka Yoga in relation to the rise of a series of engaged dispositions, which bring practitioners to conceive of their own transformation as a way to encourage social change and support social justice programmes. More specifically, we emphasize the ritual dimensions of these practices, their forms of commitment, and finally their ambivalences regarding contemporary neoliberal governmentality and societal transformation. We conclude by reflecting on how the neoliberal character of contemporary martial activities, too often simply assumed, is socially reproduced—in practice— via specific processes of knowledge transmission; and calling for more attention to the overlaps between different social fields.

Aim. To compare the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in patients after coronary stenting (CS) receiving outpatient and remote cardiology follow-up during a one-year study.

Material and methods. We enrolled 279 patients aged 61,5±9,5 years with class ≥II stable angina or silent ischemia after CS. Three groups were formed: group 1 (n=96) — outpatient visits before CS, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after CS. Group 2 (n=95) — remote monitoring: patients were followed up by a primary care physician with the involvement of a cardiologist via remote communication (e-mail, telephone, Skype) 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after CS. Group 3 (n=88) were followed up by a primary care physician and contacted with the study coordinator before and 12 months after CS. After 12 months, all patients underwent stress-induced myocardial ischemia testing. In case of a positive or uncertain test result, coronary angiography (CA) was performed.

Results. Stress-induced myocardial ischemia 12 months after CS was verified in 58 patients (21%): 19 patients (19,8%) — group 1; 9 patients (9,5%) — group 2; 30 patients (34,1%) — group 3 (p<0,05). Repeat CA was performed in 96 patients (34,4% of the total number of patients). Restenosis was detected in 8 (2,9%) patients, coronary atherosclerosis progression — in 38 (13,6%), combination of restenosis and atherosclerosis progression — in 4 (1,4%) patients. Coronary atherosclerosis progression was significantly more frequent in group 3: 10,4%, 9,5% and 21,6% in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively (p<0,05). The incidence of stent restenosis was comparable: 2,1%, 3,2% and 3,5% in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Conclusion. Coronary atherosclerosis progression was the main reason for repeated revascularizations 12 months after the CS. Outpatient and remote cardiology follow-up is associated with a lower incidence of coronary atherosclerosis progression and repeated CA during 12-month follow-up after CS.
