Understanding the University Student Experience Through Big Data Analytics
Authors: Choi Wonkyung , Jo Jun , Torrisi-Steele Geraldine
Published: February 2024

Despite best efforts, the student experience remains poorly understood. One under-explored approach to understanding the student experience is the use of big data analytics. The reported study is a work in progress aimed at exploring the value of big data methods for understanding the student experience. A big data analysis of an open dataset of student comments is being undertaken. The first and simplest use of big data analytics is for the identification of high frequency keyword groups, which, without big data analytics, would be extremely time consuming. However, the lack of context surrounding keyword groups severely limited the ability to draw meaningful conclusions and highlighted the need for human intervention in the analysis process. Future work includes sentiment analysis. This initial work is an impetus for further exploration of big data analytics methods in qualitative contexts, especially in dynamic contexts where rapid data analysis can form a basis for timely interventions.

Published: February 2024

The wide application of big data not only provides convenience for the teaching between teachers and students, but also plays a great role in the education and training of college students. However, how to cultivate students' ability to learn English independently in the current era remains to be studied. Under the background of big data, it is very important for today's education to make effective use of this technological advantage to explore scientific and reasonable strategies, stimulate college students' attention to English autonomous learning, and explore the learning process. Investigating the value of specific big data technology is also an important consideration in this study. At the same time, graduate students who are not English majors usually have fewer English courses, and students' English level is also very different. Therefore, we should also pay attention to improving students' oral English ability and pay special attention to the cultivation of students' self-discipline and autonomous learning ability.

Impact of walkability with regard to physical activity in the prevention of diabetes
Authors: Mena Carlos , Sepúlveda César , Ormazábal Yony , Fuentes Eduardo , Palomo Iván
Published: February 2024

Walkability, a component of urban design intended to facilitate pedestrian traffic, depends on parameters associated with the connectivity of routes, population density and availability of destinations in the neighbourhood. The aim is to achieve levels of physical activity related to the prevention of risk factors associated with diseases, such as diabetes and the improvement of glycaemia control. It is important to consider that the effects of walkability depend on its relation with other variables present in the neighbourhood, e.g., environmental and socioeconomic factors. Considering this, improving walkability levels could be an effective strategy to reduce disease, the prevalence of diabetes in particular, in the population and thus reduce public spending. To investigate these relationships, PUBMED and ScienceDirect databases were searched using the following key words: Diabetes, Walkability and Physical activity.

Published: February 2024

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in Michigan. Most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages of the disease. There is a need to detect clusters of lung cancer incidence over time, to generate new hypotheses about causation and identify high-risk areas for screening and treatment. The Michigan Cancer Surveillance database of individual lung cancer cases, 1985 to 2018 was used for this study. Spatial and spatiotemporal clusters of lung cancer and level of disease (localized, regional and distant) were detected using discrete Poisson spatial scan statistics at the zip code level over the study time period. The approach detected cancer clusters in cities such as Battle Creek, Sterling Heights and St. Clair County that occurred prior to year 2000 but not afterwards. In the northern area of the lower peninsula and the upper peninsula clusters of late-stage lung cancer emerged after year 2000. In Otter Lake Township and southwest Detroit, late-stage lung cancer clusters persisted. Public and patient education about lung cancer screening programs must remain a health priority in order to optimize lung cancer surveillance. Interventions should also involve programs such as telemedicine to reduce advanced stage disease in remote areas. In cities such as Detroit, residents often live near industry that emits air pollutants. Future research should therefore, continue to focus on the geography of lung cancer to uncover place-based risks and in response, the need for screening and health care services.

Addison’s disease or primary adrenocortical insufficiency results from destruction or dysfunction of the adrenal cortex, leading to deficient adrenal production of glucocorticoids or mineralocorticoids. There are a number of causes of Addison’s disease. Of them, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare but important cause in men. It is characterized by neurological manifestation, e.g., cognitive dysfunction, behavioral problem, emotional lability, visual and gait disturbance, as well as primary adrenal insufficiency. This is the case of a 12-year-old boy who presented to us with gradual dimness of vision, progressive loss of memory, and stunted growth. After evaluation, he was diagnosed as a case of ALD, leading to cerebral features and primary adrenal insufficiency. Unlike other typical cases of primary adrenal insufficiency, this patient had no pigmentation, which suggests another rare entity termed as white Addison’s disease. Stepwise evaluation of his clinical presentation led us to reach the diagnosis.
Institutional challenges of monocentric climate governance in the legal system of Iran
Authors: Faryadi Masoud
Published: February 2024

Iran has, over the last approximately two decades, started to address climate change in its legal system through a number of regulations and institutional arrangements. However, due to various multidimensional challenges, Iran has not achieved considerable success in its climate action. This article examines Iran’s institutional challenges in climate change administration, and discovers that one of the main barriers to its progress in climate action is monocentric climate governance. While it is emphasized that climate governance should be participatory and polycentric to be able to improve climate action, climate governance in Iran is based on a command and control and hierarchical model of governance, which leads to some restrictive institutional challenges. This article recognizes two main institutional challenges of climate governance in Iran’s legal system: first, governmental monocentrism in which the central government is the main actor in climate governance; and, second, inadequate institutional arrangements in climate administration. Consequently, on the one hand, non-governmental bodies, the business sector, and civil society struggle to participate positively in all processes of climate change administration. On the other hand, the relevant governmental institutions are not well-prepared for effective and coordinated climate action. In order to improve its climate policy and action, Iran needs to mitigate these institutional barriers promoting polycentric climate governance in its legal system and diversifying actors, actions, sections and instruments.

Authors: Johnson Maureen Ellen , Belleza Norman Cadiz , Ganesan Mohan
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Inclusion of interprofessional education (IPE) in academia is required by education accreditation agencies for occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) in the United States. Limited information is available on models of IPE to guide faculty. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the feasibility of implementing a recently designed IPE model with OT and PT graduate students. This IPE model aligned Interprofessional Education Collaborative core competency domains with novel learning activities, such as an escape room, simulated medical chart, and two simulations.

Methods: Data were retrieved from 52 auto-enrolled students (n=14 OT) and (n=38 PT) in a 15-week course held in 2019. Students completed the Interprofessional Education Collaborative Self-Assessment Tool on the first day (pre) and last day (post) of the course. Inclusion criteria required all archived assignments to be completed thoroughly. Data were analyzed using a non-parametric statistical test with a significant threshold set at p < 0.05.

Results: Results indicated total post-scores were significantly higher compared to pre-scores, z = -5.08, p < .001. Further, sub-group analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test showed significantly higher post-scores compared to pre-scores for interaction component (z=-5.27, p < .001) and values component (z=-2.50, p =.012). Comparison between OT and PT students using the Mann-Whitney U test did not show any significant difference in total scores (U=231.5; p=.853), interaction component (U=221.0; p=.678), and value component (U=238.5; p=.972).

Discussion: This IPE model is feasible for a larger study and, after participating, students will move forward in the curriculum with better IPE foundational knowledge.

Social Media as a Tool for Political Self-Presentation: An Analytical Experience of Russian Political Party Representatives' Profiles
Authors: Soldatenkov Ivan V.
Published: February 2024

During the first decades of the 21st century, social media has emerged as one of the most significant means of mass communication. Concurrently, the technological features of new media have transformed communication processes. This article addresses the issue of how politicians’ self-presentations are changing due to their adaptation to the unique aspects of communication on social networks. The study aims to identify the self-presentation strategies employed by Russian politicians in online interactions.

The research involved content analysis of posts on the personal pages of politicians on the VKontakte social network. The sample included 375 publications across five pages (75 for each), belonging to politicians who are members of the governing bodies of the parties “United Russia” (D. A. Medvedev), LDPR (L. E. Slutsky), Communist Party of the Russian Federation (G. A. Zyuganov), “Just Russia—Patriots—For the Truth” (S. M. Mironov), and “New People” (A. O. Tkachev). Using cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling, models of self-presentations were developed, and their common and individual features were identified. The study revealed that the impression management strategies used by Russian politicians in social media are characterized by a tendency to showcase professional aspects of their personalities, create a vivid image of the “enemy”, and exhibit a low degree of interactivity.
Virtual Romans and Virtual French: Recontextualization of Political News in the Format of Playing with History
Authors: Miziryak Nadezhda A.
Published: February 2024

The oversaturation of information flows and the competition among diverse viewpoints underscore the significance of every message that captures the audience’s attention and provokes discussion. Thus, exploring new formats and methods for attracting attention to news agendas, analyzing innovative persuasion techniques, and scrutinizing gaps and overlooked aspects in discussion platforms become particularly crucial in cutting-edge media studies. One such innovative format for news perception and discussion can be found in virtual pseudo-historical public pages on VK. These pages engage with the real socio-political news agenda, stylized as events from different eras such as ancient Rome and 19th-century France.

The aim of our research is to identify techniques for attracting attention, encouraging discussion, and persuading audiences in these selected public forums. We analyzed the characteristics of recontextualized news presentations, including the transposition of time and place, renaming key figures and technologies, and the nuances of internal humor on these public pages. A primary focus of these pages is political news, particularly the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, which is metaphorically represented through the lens of the Punic or Napoleonic wars. This juxtaposition of historical and contemporary perspectives enables users to interpret the political agenda differently. This pseudo-historical linguistic play and unique humor bypass critical perception filters, and once readers accept the internal logic of the public pages, they also tend to accept the narratives presented. The ability to comment on posts allows users to engage in the same narrative style, broaden the scope of news discussions, and involve their friends by reposting to their own pages.
Analysis of Public Discussions in Social Media as a Method for Studying Social Issues
Authors: Judina Darja I. , Riazantseva Angelina V.
Published: February 2024

The study of social problems using the analysis of the public sphere gained scientific legitimacy with the constructivist approach during the era when television was the predominant medium. The advent of social media has transformed the public space, altering the way in which discussions concerning social issues are organized. This article examines the advantages and limitations of constructivism in studying social problems and the elements constituting public discussions on social media. We searched whether analyzing public discourse could reveal the persistence of social issues. To exemplify the use of this method for studying discussions on social media, we analyzed how network users discussed the issue of personnel shortages, from November 2022 to February 2023. During this period, the most pressing issues proved to be shortages of professionals in healthcare, housing and communal services, secondary education, transport, defense industry and IT sectors.

The research indicates that a crucial marker of a persistent social problem in people’s daily lives is the involvement of “ordinary” citizens as speakers who draw significant attention to the issue. This finding corroborates the democratizing impact of social media on the structure of the public sphere.
Corporate Cancellation: The Odyssey of the “Myth of 922” between Academic and Ideological Discourses
Authors: Ovchinnikov Alexander V.
Published: February 2024

Methodological problems of the analysis of the phenomenon of “cancellation culture” are investigated. It is stated that “cancellation” was characteristic of all stages of history, but the actual “cancellation culture” could only arise with the development of civil society and mass media. It is proved that the concept of “corporate cancellation” is more acceptable for states of a transit of democracy type of development, when the main actors of the “cancellation” of an individual, social group or views (scientific, religious, etc.) are political elites. In order to develop the proposed theoretical approach, the extensive material of the “Myth of 922” case was analyzed. The following items were recorded: “cancellation” in the mass media of the academic version of the events of 922; cardinal changes in the historiographical field; intercorporate interaction of political elites and academic structures, which eventually led to the official celebration of the anniversary of the “1100th anniversary of the adoption of Islam by Volga Bulgaria”; complex strategies of behavior of individual researchers who tried to use the “weaknesses” of the “myth of 922” to accumulate their own symbolic capital, but very rarely turned to the discourse of the “cancellation culture”. The theoretical outlines of “corporate cancellation” proposed in the article can be useful for a better understanding of the known facts of “cancellation” in the Soviet and contemporary Russian history.

Karachi has been facing various issues of municipal solid waste management. In the early 1960s, Karachiwas the centre of leisure, now it has stretched out due to its increasing population. However, due to insufficientfacilities and ineffective strategies, issues related to waste management are also increasing. For the problems related towaste management, the fundamental units available are municipal trash bins. In this study, 409 GPS point data ofcollection points of waste have been assembled from various areas of Karachi for assessment of the spatial distributionof waste bins. A spatial variation of distance between the trash bins is also identified through ArcGIS 10.3.1cartography tool of generalization, which aggregates the points of trash bins by making polygon shape of the samedistance. Globally, Geospatial techniques are used for changing the system of waste management. This is the first studythat assessed the suitable distance of bins placement in the area under focus. The results revealed that there are noprinciples acquired by the government for the placement of trash bins with appropriate distance. In many towns ofKarachi like Landhi and Korangi, bins are absent which impels people to throw their trash anywhere in the city.

Published: February 2024

A doença renal crônica avançada e as diferentes modalidades de terapias renais substitutivas têm sido uma grande limitação na prescrição das diferentes terapias convencionais e biológicas utilizadas para o tratamento de diferentes doenças autoimunes. Muitos deles persistem com grande atividade, necessitando do uso de outros tipos de medicamentos como glicocorticóides ou anti-inflamatórios não esteroides, perpetuando ainda mais seus efeitos adversos. Além disso, a maioria dos estudos clínicos excluiu pacientes com doença renal crônica e as evidências para a continuação dos tratamentos biológicos neste cenário baseiam-se nas propriedades farmacocinéticas ou em relatos de casos onde os resultados foram favoráveis. A falta de conhecimento e a ausência de orientações claras para a tomada de decisão quanto ao início da terapia convencional ou biológica neste contexto geram uma falta de continuidade na prescrição dos tratamentos, o que diminui a resposta terapêutica e afeta negativamente a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. . Por este motivo, é realizada uma revisão narrativa com o objetivo de estabelecer um consenso prático que unifique as recomendações para cada um dos tratamentos mais utilizados no controle de diversas doenças autoimunes em pacientes com doença renal crônica avançada.

Published: February 2024

Advanced chronic kidney disease and the different modalities of renal replacement therapies have been a great limitation when prescribing the different conventional and biological therapies used for the treatment of different autoimmune diseases. Many of them persist with great activity, requiring the use of other types of medications such as glucocorticoids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, further perpetuating their adverse effects. Addditionally, most clinical studies have excluded patients with chronic kidney disease and the evidence for continuing biological treatments in this scenario is based on pharmacokinetic properties or case reports where the outcomes have been favorable. The lack of knowledge and the absence of clear guidelines for decision-making regarding starting conventional or biological therapy in this context generate a lack of continuity in the prescription of treatments, which decreases the therapeutic response and negatively affects the quality of life. from the patients. For this reason, a narrative review is carried out with the aim of establishing a practical consensus that unifies the recommendations for each of the treatments most frequently used in the control of various autoimmune diseases in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.

Tourism has long played an important role in development in Indonesia, especially in Bali Province. Tourism, with its multiplier effect, can and is capable of accelerating economic growth and job creation. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Indonesia's macro conditions have worsened. As a province that makes the tourism sector its leading sector, this pandemic has had a drastic impact on Bali Province. The central government and the regional government of Bali Province must jointly make efforts to restore the economy as well as economic transformation. In this way, Bali's economy will grow more resilient to shocks because it is based on local resources with high added value with economic diversification so that it does not depend on the tourism sector alone. This research uses Chenery's theory as a grand theory which explains an approach to analyzing economic transformation by considering sector diversification which can provide a basis for effective and efficient planning policies. This research uses a literature review method. By looking at the various impacts experienced after the pandemic, the issue of making one sector the main sector needs to be taken into consideration. Paying high attention to the tourism sector over the last few years has had a slight impact on making Bali's economy the second lowest in Indonesia. Based on this phenomenon, the assumption began to emerge that the agricultural sector was a "temporary safe place" which became the second choice, although in the end, when Bali's tourism conditions improved, the average worker decided to return. This assumption that the tourism sector is a conservation sector needs to be improved by providing more understanding that agriculture is also able to support tourism in Bali Province.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disorder with an incidence of 5 to 10 per 1 million per year. 10 to 20% of patients with adult-onset Dermatomyositis have an underlying malignancy. There are currently no specific cutaneous markers for Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis. This case highlights a patient with uncommon features of paraneoplasm after breast malignancy. Case Report: A 50-year-old female with Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma, presented with patches on the face, neck, chest, upper back, outer arms, dorsal hands, thighs, hair loss and weakness. Histopathology revealed widened basal layer vacuolization with widened spaces between collagen bundles filled with mucin deposition, and pigment incontinence in the papillary dermis. Direct immunofluorescence showed granular deposits of IgG, C3, IgM and IgA in the basement membrane zone, which are consistent with Dermatomyositis. The patient was prescribed with Clobetasol ointment mixed equally with petrolatum on the body and Mometasone cream on the face. She was subsequently started on Prednisone at 0.5 mkd with eventual tapering, Omeprazole, and Calcium + Vitamin D tablet daily. Hydroxychloroquine 200 mg/tab daily was added. Referral to Rheumatology for co-management and Surgery for management of the breast mass was also done. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the rare occurrence of a Paraneoplastic Dermatomyositis following a diagnosis of breast malignancy. A careful review upon diagnosis may detect occult malignancies especially in patients who present primarily with cutaneous Dermatomyositis. Clinicopathologic correlation and a multi-disciplinary approach, with Surgery, Oncology, Rheumatology and Dermatopathology are needed to identify the underlying cause and facilitate successful treatment of a neoplasm followed by improvement of Dermatomyositis.
Study on the Construction Mode of Mound Tomb in Ningzhen Area of China
Authors:   The Korean Archaeological Society, Zhao Yubing , Li Shengrong , Feng Zhijun
Published: February 2024

The construction model of the ‘one tomb in one mound’ mound tomb of Ningzhen area is classified as ‘flat burial’, ‘pad soil digging and burial’ and ‘pile burial’. The construction model of ‘Multi-tomb in One Mound’ mound tomb is classified as ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’. The nature of the mound tomb under different construction models belongs to the ‘tomb’ and ‘cemetery’. The ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’ construction models are complex of ‘flat burial’, ‘pad soil digging and burial’ and ‘pile burial’. It reflects the inherent unity of mound tomb culture in Ningzhen area. The construction mode of mound tomb reflects the realistic consideration of the ancestors of Wu area to bury high and avoid floods. In addition, many tombs coexist in a pier of burial custom, reflect that the family members are buried in one place. The existence of the central tomb reflects the concept of worshiping the middle position. The ‘vertical’ construction mode was a new form of burial by gathering the family members under the social development background of the Zhou Dynasty, especially the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in Ningzhen area. It was the same as the ‘one-tomb in one mound’ mound tomb with huge sealing earth, reflecting the funeral concept of ‘high tomb’ pursued by the society at that time.
A Study on the Origin of Dark Burnished Marks of Koguryo Pottery
Authors:   The Korean Archaeological Society, Lee Yunyong , Yang Sieun
Published: February 2024

This paper is to examine the origin of dark burnished marks, a distinctive feature of Koguryo Pottery. Dark burnished marks is a decorative pattern in which the surface of pottery with intricate designs using a sturdy tool, It is primarily found in pottery of northern ethnic groups such as Xiongnu, Xianbie, Koguryo, Balhae, and Khitan. In Koguryo, dark burnished marks appeared in the late mid-period when the use of fine clay became widespread. It is characterized by relatively simple pattern motifs like horizontal lines, square shapes, vertical lines, and continuous ring patterns, inscribed in various locations including the body of pottery. It is primarily found in relatively large and medium-sized vessels, such as jar, large jar, steamer, and large bowl. Dark burnished marks is not a decorative technique that originated in Koguryo. It was also found in Xiongnu pottery, which preceded Koguryo, as well as in the Three Yan or Northern Wei dynasty of pottery, which had close relationships with Koguryo. Xiongnu pottery was popular in the northern steppes, including Mongolia, from the 2nd century BC to the 1st century AD. Therefore, it is not directly related to the origin of dark burnished marks in Koguryo pottery. The Xiongnu had a significant influence on the development of Xianbei pottery culture. Dark burnished marks has been confirmed in Xianbei pottery from the 3rd century. It is difficult to establish a direct relationship between the pottery of Koguryo in the middle period and that of the Three Yan. This is due to differences not only in basic forms but also in aspects such as the types of vessels with dark burnished marks, the preferred locations of the application, and the preference for patterns. However, it is reasonable to understand the origin of dark burnished marks on Koguryo pottery in the context of the material culture exchange between Koguryo and the Murong Xianbei, who constantly competed for control of the Liaodong region from the 4th to the early 5th centuries. This is also the case with the introduction of mural tombs in Koguryo. It is likely that dark burnished marks of Koguryo pottery was the result of selective adoption of some elements, such as
the ark burnished marks technique that has been passed down from the Xiongnu, rather than the formal elements of pottery, in the context of various forms of cultural exchange with the Three Yan.

Hârezmşahlar Devleti Tarihine Ait Yeni Bir Kaynak: Vesâilü’r-Resâ’il ve Delâ’ilü’l-Fezâ’il ve Nûreddin Münşî
Authors: ERDOĞAN Coşkun
Published: February 2024

Hârezmşahlar Devleti, Selçuklu siyasi iradesi henüz sona ermeden Hârezm bölgesinde siyasi ve idari yapılanmasını neredeyse tamamlamış ve devletleşme sürecini ise Atsız döneminden itibaren bölgede kabullendirmeye başlamıştır. Bu doğrultuda bürokratik ve diplomatik mekanizma hem bölgesel altyapısının vermiş olduğu avantajlar hem de Selçuklu idari yapılanmasının etkisiyle oldukça erken dönemden itibaren tam anlamıyla işlevsel halde olmuştur. İdari işleyişin Selçuklu yapılanması doğrultusunda gözlendiği Hârezmşahlara ait takip edilebilen en eski münşeat mecmuaları devletin yapısal organizasyonunu ortaya koymaktadır. Nitekim Hârezmşah münşîlerinin yazdığı belge ve mektuplar bugüne kadar ulaşmış bulunmaktadır. Ancak bu münşeat mecmualarından biri olan Ves’ailü’r-Resâ’il ve Delâ’ilü’l-Fezâ’il, bilimsel çalışmalarda bugüne kadar kullanılmamıştır. Nûreddin Münşî’nin eseri olan bu münşeat mecmuası, bu çalışmanın esas konusunu teşkil etmektedir. Eserin Gıyaseddin Pirşâh ve Sultan Celaleddin dönemine ait bilgileri ihtiva etmesinin yanı sıra içerik açısından devletin yapısal sürecini anlamak için oldukça önemli bilgiler içerdiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca eser inşâ sanatının güzel örneklerinden biridir. Eserin iki yazma nüshası bulunmakta olup Türkiye’de mevcut olduğu düşünülen nüsha kaybolmuştur. Ancak Manchester Üniversitesi’nde yer alan nüsha eksik olmasına rağmen bugün İran’da Rıza Samizâde tarafından yayımlanmıştır.
