Authors: Ahmed Aqsa Shamim , Sarwar Naveeda , Shah Syeda Nadia , Parwa Aiman
Published: July 2024

This case report presents the clinical profile of a 52-year-old married Urdu-speaking Muslim male with persecutory delusions. The client's symptoms included auditory hallucinations, poverty of speech, and social anxiety, leading to significant distress and impaired functioning. The Growth, Anomalous Experience, and Formulation (GADF) model of persecutory delusions by Daniel Freeman et al. provided a conceptual framework for understanding and addressing the client's symptomatology. Formal and informal assessments, including Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), PANSS, mental state examination, and behavioral assessment, were utilized to propose the intervention plan. The results showed suspiciousness and persecutory beliefs. Short-term goals were proposed to alleviate distress, improve sleep quality, and provide support, while long-term goals focused on challenging delusional beliefs, improving interpersonal relationships, and enhancing coping strategies. The case underscores the importance of a collaborative and holistic treatment approach to effectively manage persecutory delusions and enhance the client's long-term prognosis.

Published: July 2024

This qualitative study has investigated the experiences of women who hold academic leadership positions at Pakistani public and private universities in Lahore. With reference to society, organizations, families, and personal lives, it sought to examine the difficulties and sources of support faced by female academic leaders in Pakistani institutions. Semi structured interviews were conductedfor data collection by using convenient sampling technique. Thematic analysis has been used to examine the qualitative data. The major conclusions pointed to a range of obstacles and enablers that impact the leadership of female academics. The main obstacles that hinder female academic leaders are personal ones, such as their upbringing, lack of confidence, availability of resources and the ability to manage their time. The second most challenging collection of issues was social in nature and included unjust judgment and gender biasness, while institutional issues included politics inside the organization, favoritism, and jealousy. The support that women who hold academic leadership positions receive from higher authorities and faculty members in private v/s public colleges, however, is a significant difference between their experiences. As per the participants, private institutions offer equal opportunities for male and female students to develop as leaders, while public universities tend to give greater opportunities to males. The assistance faculty members of private colleges to their female leaders, who are comparatively more numerous and cooperative than the faculty members of public institutions, was another obvious distinction between their experiences. Faculty members, both male and female, appreciate the judgment of the female leader and follow her instructions just as they would that of the male leader. Compared to women leaders in public institutions, this is one of the main causes of the superior experiences that female academic leaders have in securing and carrying out leadership positions at private universities.

Zur Neufassung der Differenz von Lebenswelt, Alltagswelt und Alltäglichem Leben in der Wissenschaft: Eine phänomenologische Weiterentwicklung des Lebensweltbegriffes im Anschluss an Richard Grathoff
Authors: Stuck Benjamin ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: July 2024

To establish phenomenologically whether there is an everyday dimen­sion within the “sub-world” of science, this paper builds on Richard Grathoff’s conceptual differentiation between “lifeworld” (Lebenswelt), “everyday world” (Alltagswelt), and “daily life” (Alltägliches Leben). Such a clarification is necessary because the notion of “lifeworld” in Husserl’s or Schutz’ oeuvre is ambiguous. It means both a universal ground and an everyday world. According to Grathoff, the lifeworld is a set of general and structural dimensions of sense that relate subjectivity and world-structure and thereby make possible the constitution of specific “worlds,” including the everyday world. The latter, in contrast, exists due to its own cognitive style according to which lifeworldly dimensions become senseful. Still different from the everyday world is daily life, the routin­ized process through which certain qualities of the various cognitive styles are socially constructed. Grathoff’s distinction helps to identify an internal quality within science, which includes, on the one hand, the scientific “daily life” of routine and familiarity, such as basic methods and epistemes, and, on the other hand, needs to be understood in terms of “contextualization” (Strassheim), as a realm of the new and “extraordinary,” as in far-reaching theorizing efforts.
Hoffen und Warten. Über das Warten als Temporalität der Tugend menschlicher Hoffnung im Denken Martin Heideggers
Authors: Vorlaufer Johannes ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: July 2024

The article discusses the extent to which Heidegger’s thinking touches on the question of human hope and pursues the thesis: Even though the concept of hope is used only marginally in Heidegger’s work, the ques­tion of it already accompanies his early thinking and deepens in the later thinking of Being. Although Heidegger takes a critical view of the metaphy­sical concept of hope because of its intentional character and its immanent understanding of time, he at the same time asks for an “original” hope, i.e., for the original experience of hope and for the origin of “calculating” hope. If the temporality of care is already implicitly a temporality of hopeful exis­tence, then waiting, as conceived by the “Feldweggespräche”, is a being awake, i.e., a being open and present in serenity. Pure waiting points into a letting that lets us hope. Waiting, i.e., letting go of all hope, we open ourselves to an affirmation that promises itself to us as gift and moment in the temporal experience of being-given. Heidegger’s question could therefore be formulated as: What makes us hope?
Transcendental Approaches to Quantum Mechanics. Lessons from Bohr
Authors: Wiltsche Harald A. ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: July 2024

The objective of this paper is to offer an analysis of several key elements within Niels Bohr’s transcendental interpretation of quantum mechanics. After some stage setting, I will demonstrate that a transcendental perspective on Bohr offers several advantages over alternative interpretations. Specifically, I will argue that some of his most contentious claims become more plausible when viewed through a transcendental lens. However, despite these strengths, Bohr’s approach faces challenges. Following an evaluation of what I consider to be the primary weakness in his framework, the final section of the paper will explore potential avenues for enhancing the viability of the Bohrian project, with a specific focus on the role of phenomenology as a potential solution.
Founding Phenomenological Sociology With Alfred Schütz and Max Scheler
Authors: Frère Bruno , Laoureux Sébastien ,   Romanian Society for Phenomenology
Published: July 2024

In this paper we want to re-examine the traditional belief that phenomenological sociology owes its pedigree primarily to Alfred Schütz. More specifically, we will try to show that Max Scheler is equally worthy of the title of founder of phenomenological sociology. Our argument has three interlocking themes. First of all, we will recognize, like many others before us, the undoubtedly essential contribution made by Schütz, who is generally viewed as the father of phenomenological sociology. Our second step, however, will be to return to the foundations of this approach and to show that it throws up certain difficulties. As is widely known, Schütz’s project is nothing less than to apply the Husserlian transcendental to the empirical. But, we will show that because Schütz remains caught in a king of egologic sociology, reducing intersubjectivity—and the social—to a face-to-face relationship, he fails to give to phenomenology a real sociological dimension. Nevertheless this does not mean that phenomenology does not have a powerful sociological dimension. By exploring concepts insufficiently explored by Schütz in a third step, such as Husserl’s notion of intentionality and its equivalent in Max Scheler’s thought (the frame of mind), we will explore the empirical potential of phenomenology. Scheler, considering a social environment independent (and even constitutive) of the subject, gives the final form to a phenomenological sociology, a sociology which gives us even the mean to think a sympathetic relationship with the natural world, critical of capitalism and prefiguring ecology.

Authors: Prada Segura Jasleidy Astrid , Medina Roncancio Samir Alveiro , González Contreras José Samuel
Published: July 2024

The transformation of rural contexts calls for innovative strategies combining endogenous and exogenous factors to achieve sustainable management of resources and sustainable growth. Furthermore, this integration must respond to the communities' cultural identity and ancestral knowledge, consider their perspectives, and project the role of the next generations. A sequential mixed study was conducted aimed at diagnosing the sociodemographic, conceptual, and practical elements necessary to implement a design thinking methodology with the objective of strengthening rural identity in Colombia. The results indicate that raising awareness among young people and encouraging their training as transformative leaders capable of energizing design thinking processes is necessary. In addition, principles are offered for the adequate development of said training and the design of a methodology. The findings allowed us to conclude that participatory and community-centered approaches could be the most suitable for strengthening identity and the subsequent rural transformation.
Determinants of disclosure in local government financial reports throughout regency/city in North Sulawesi Province
Authors: Ginting Aulia Margaretha
Published: July 2024

Local Government Financial Reports (or LKPD) is a form of transparency and accountability of regional government as the implementation of regional income and expenditure budget to the stakeholder. Financial reports are presented based on Government Accounting Standard (GAS) in Indonesia where the notes of financial statements become an important element. In the financial reports, local government has an obligation to disclosure important information for stakeholder interest in decision making as well as for public interest information in the needs of information. This study was conducted to examine the determinants of disclosure in local government financial reports throughout regency/city in North Sulawesi Province. The independent variables in this study are regional financial independence ratio, intergovernmental revenue, and leverage. The dependent variable in this study is disclosure in the financial reports. This study uses secondary data generating from audited LKPD by The Audit Board. The population of this study is audited financial reports of regency/city in North Sulawesi Province by The Audit Board. By purposive sampling method, this study uses 60 audited financial reports with fiscal year 2019 to 2022 and apply multiple linier regression analysis. Based on the results, regional financial independence ratio has no effect on the disclosure in the financial reports. Intergovernmental revenue has a positive significant effect on the financial reports. Leverage has a negative significant effect on the disclosure in the financial reports.

(2) job satisfaction has a negative effect on turnover intention, meaning the higher the level of job satisfaction of employees, the lower their tendency to switch jobs, and conversely, the lower the job satisfaction perceived, the higher the desire to switch jobs. (3) organizational commitment doesn’t have an effect on turnover intention.
Effect of Combination of Flowable and Packable Composite Resins on Restorative Compressive Strength
Authors: Brian S Nicolas , Gunawan Juanita , Prahasti Anastasia , Budiman Johan
Published: July 2024

Teeth with complex cavities often have a compromised hard tissue structure, making them susceptible to fractures. This necessitates the use of restoration materials capable of effectively replacing the lost tooth structure, particularly when the damage results from caries, trauma, excessive preparation, or root canal treatment. Recent advancements in composite resin materials include flowable and packable composites reinforced with short fibres, which can enhance mechanical properties by improving fracture resistance through fibre reinforcement. This study aims to evaluate the impact of combining flowable composite resins with short fibre-reinforced composites versus combining packable composites with flowable short fibre-reinforced composites on compressive strength. A laboratory experimental approach was employed, involving 48 cylindrical samples divided into 8 groups. Each group was restored with a combination of flowable composite resin and packable composite with a base of short-fibre reinforced composite, polymerized using light curing. Compressive strength was tested using a universal testing machine, and results were analyzed with a 2-way ANOVA statistical test. The analysis revealed a significant difference in compressive strength (p<0.001) among the groups. The findings indicate that incorporating short-fibre reinforced composite materials as the restoration base significantly enhances the overall compressive strength of the restoration. This underscores the potential for improved durability and fracture resistance in dental restorations using these advanced composite materials.
Perceptions of Practice Towards Management of Common Ailments in Indonesian Community Pharmacies: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Mizranita Vinci , Nisa Fauziyyah
Published: July 2024

Managing common ailments is increasingly important in developing countries. It is essential for community pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to manage these ailments effectively to enhance treatment outcomes. While developed countries have successfully implemented such services, Indonesia lacks sufficient documentation of these practices. This disparity is significant since community pharmacies frequently serve as the initial point of contact for the community to seek advice regarding their health problems, particularly for common ailments. Community pharmacies play a significant role in the healthcare system due to their accessibility and trustworthiness in improving public health. This study aimed to evaluate the practice and experiences of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in managing common ailments and their methods and experiences in providing these services. Surveys were conducted from May to June 2023 at professional seminars intended for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Pharmacists’ and pharmacy technicians’ perceptions of managing common ailments were compared using binary logistic regression. One hundred forty pharmacy technicians and 180 pharmacists in all took part. The findings showed that among the 13 common ailments, acute pain, dermatitis, diarrhoea, eczema, indigestion/heartburn, and wounds (P<0.001) were perceived to be under the pharmacist's practice scope. On the other hand, P<0.001 indicated that conditions such as dandruff, constipation, and mild headaches were considered within the pharmacy technician's practice scope. Significant disparities in perceptions of managing diarrhoea, indigestion, and cough and cold symptoms were also found in the study, underscoring the diverse range of practice areas. Both groups were found to be reluctant to charge for consultations for pharmacy services in managing common ailments, with a higher percentage of pharmacy technicians being against the opinion. The overall findings of this study highlight the significance of focused education for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in improving patient care in Indonesian community pharmacies. Defining clear roles for each professional is essential to enhance training initiatives in creating accessible healthcare facilities for managing common ailments.

Promoting a Sustainable Agriculture and Food Sector: India
Authors:   United Nations Environment Programme
Published: July 2024

As India looks towards 2030 and beyond, its food system confronts a myriad of challenges, including heightened pressure on natural resources, the impact of climate change, land fragmentation, increasing urbanization, high rates of malnutrition among children and impacts of chemical inputs on human health (Gulati et al. 2023). Major concerns around natural resources include the decline in yields, soil fertility, soil organic carbon (SOC), and water scarcity. 86 per cent of the farmers in India are small and marginal – 126 million farmers with an average holding of 0.6 hectares (India, Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer’s Welfare 2019) – posing challenges for access to improved technologies, extension services, credit, and markets that would enable them to mitigate and adapt to these challenges. Women are particularly affected by these challenges given that the agriculture sector has the highest share of women workers (62.9%) of all industries in India (India, Ministry of Labour and Employment 2023). Many of these concerns in the agriculture sector, as is the case globally, have arisen from a tendency to measure the success of agricultural and food policies through a narrow lens such as ‘yield per hectare’ or ‘per capita production’ that fails to consider agriculture and food systems in a holistic manner, ignoring the links between food systems, the environment and human wellbeing. If not amended, these can have long-term deleterious effects on not just food supply but also on human health and nature.

This study examined contributions of university education in the promotion of capacity building and social stability in Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study; descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 23000 academic staff of the public universities in South-East Nigeria. The sample comprised of 400 academic staff of the universities. The sample was composed using the simple random method. Data collected were analyzed using mean. Findings of the study showed that Nigeria university education contributes to capacity building through global practice on education con for all, provision of quality teaching infrastructure, access for students to ICT education, improved teaching methods, well equipped lecturers, proper management of universities, well-funded university research, properly motivated faculty; Nigeria university education contributes to social stability through skill and knowledge to navigate tensions, knowledge to avoid violence, help students build mental strength and resilience, help reduce child labor and early marriage, prevention of school-drop outs, help students navigate emotional and psychological trauma, help students navigate physical trauma, and help student make and become members of a peaceful society. The study concludes that Nigeria university education is contributing very little to human capacity building and development and as well social stability, this is linked to some intervening issues that has to do with peculiar issues with developing nations that could reduce the extent of social stability and human capacity development. The study therefore recommends that Nigeria government through the yearly budget address the insufficiency in Nigeria education system such as high rate of unemployment, illiteracy, ignorance, poor staff remuneration, poor infrastructure, poor education funding, strike actions that cripple education, political instability, poverty among others as a means to circumvent the issue of social stability and improve human capacity.

Authors: Jha Abhay Kumar , Parihar R.S. , Lodhi Varsha , Misra Rajesh , Kumar Barun , Udeniya Ashutosh
Published: July 2024

Concrete is a fundamental material in construction, demanding high strength and workability for modern engineering structures. However, conventional cement production contributes significantly to CO2 emissions, prompting the exploration of eco-friendly alternatives. Several industrial by-products, such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), silica fume, and metakaolin, have cementitious qualities and can be used as binding agents in concrete. In our research, we aim to find ways to substitute cement for these by-products, particularly fly ash and GGBS, in concrete production in order to reduce cement consumption. Blast furnaces produce GGBS, a fine powder that is subsequently ground into fine powder as a byproduct. Fly ash has pozzolanic qualities, but it also provides pozzolanic materials that can be utilized to make cement. Industrial by-products like fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) offer promising substitutes for traditional cement. This study investigates the incorporation of 20% fly ash and 30% GGBS into concrete, evaluating its mechanical properties over 7, 14, and 28 days. Results show that green concrete exhibits comparable or superior compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths to conventional concrete, with lower carbon emissions and cost. The study underscores green concrete's potential as an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective alternative in construction.

Authors: Paredes Herrera María Eugenia , Haro Pujos Edison Samuel , Gallegos Tite William Gabriel , Ñamo Velasco Jinson Efrain
Published: July 2024

Objective: to carry out a study to observe the effects of both cigarettes and vaping by means of an in vitro experiment in order to obtain conclusions that will add to the knowledge on the subject. Introduction: The electronic cigarette has become popular within the adolescent population; thus, it has also been seen as a good alternative to abandon conventional cigarettes. However, the substances it contains are harmful, a fact that is ignored by the population. Therefore, it is important to provide extra knowledge on the subject by testing an in vitro experiment. Methods: an experimental and descriptive in vitro longitudinal study was carried out. Results: cotton swabs were used and were exposed to both vape and cigarette smoke; there was no major change in the experimental group with vape vs. the other group with traditional cigarette. Conclusion: cotton swabs exposed for 7 days to conventional cigarette smoke had more noticeable changes in coloration than those exposed to vaper smoke. Due to the short period of time no effects could be obtained with respect to the electronic cigarette.

Trata-se de uma investigação documental de abordagem qualitativa, realizada por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo, com auxílio do software MAXQDA. Os dados analisados provêm de 26 cartilhas produzidas por órgãos federais, estaduais e municipais, abrangendo o período entre a aprovação do Estatuto das Cidades, em 2001, e três anos após a promulgação da última legislação que trata da regularização fundiária, em 2020. Os resultados destacam a ausência de uma relação dialética entre os produtores das cartilhas e o público destinatário, evidenciando a necessidade de aprimorar o debate sobre a política habitacional brasileira, enfatizando a relevância dos processos formativos embasados na proposta pedagógica da Educação Popular.
Freedom to Discuss Religion Between Facts and Opinions
Authors: Şirin Tolga
Published: July 2024

In a recent televised discussion in Turkey, two Youtube-influencers have discussed Sharia law and Muhammad’s marriage with Aisha. This has caused strong reactions on social media. Moreover, after a public statement of the Justice Minister, a criminal investigation has been initiated. I argue that such statements should enjoy the full protection of freedom of expression. However, I criticise the distinction between “statements of fact and value judgements” as introduced by the ECtHR in case E.S. v Austria.

Objective: The present study was carried out to evaluate the impact of Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) initiative to reduce the use of sodium valproate/valproic acid (SV/VA) in the women of childbearing age group. Methods: In our questionnaire-based study, 251 health care professionals (HCPs) participated from 41 medical colleges across India, which are also working as Adverse drug reaction Monitoring Centres (AMCs) under PvPI. Results: The data collected at the National Coordination Centre (NCC) shows the significant decrease in the use of SV/VA in the women of childbearing age group after the PvPI initiative on Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials for HCPs. However, it was found that 40% of HCPs of Gynecology and Neurology Department were still not aware of the initiative taken by the Government of India to reduce the use of SV/VA in the women of childbearing age group. Conclusion: PvPI, therefore, needs to take more measures to increase the reach of their resource materials to all HCPs.

INSPIRATIONAL STORY
Socialization and Impulse Buying of Young Adults in S-Commerce: Mediating Roles of Hedonic Browsing and Upward Social Comparison
Authors: Kanthawongs Penjuree , Jabutay Felicito
Published: July 2024

Social media has become ubiquitous in the lives of young adults, exposing them constantly to their peers’ online activities and an influx of commercial content that triggers impulsive purchases. Drawing insights from theoretical and empirical literature, the current study proposes a conceptual model to help explain what leads young adult consumers to impulse buy while using social media platforms for social interaction. The model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling, with data collected from 416 young adults from Thailand. The findings revealed that the social interaction motive elicits both hedonic browsing and upward social comparison. Hedonic browsing also acts as an antecedent of upward social comparison. The increased intensity of browsing and comparison elevates the likelihood of impulse buying. The study also found that hedonic browsing mediates the relationship between social interaction motives and upward social comparison. This comparison variable, in turn, mediates the connection between browsing and buying. However, the frequency of social media use does not have significant moderating effects on the relationships among hedonic browsing, upward social comparison, and impulse buying. These findings have significant practical and theoretical implications.

Carcinoid Heart Disease
Authors: Ross, MSN, CRNP, AOCNP Nicole
Published: July 2024

Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening sequela of advanced neuroendocrine neoplasm with carcinoid syndrome. These tumors can secrete vasoactive substances of which serotonin is the most prevalent. Carcinoid heart disease typically involves the right-sided heart valves and eventually leads to right heart failure. Monitoring N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid at diagnosis and during treatment, as well as cardiac echocardiogram, helps to screen for CHD. Many patients are not screened for this appropriately. Multidisciplinary care for patients with CHD is ideal and involves medical oncology, cardiology, and cardiothoracic surgery.
