La dimensión transnacional de la comunicación pública en Cuba. Ver la Isla desde cualquier lugar
Authors: Celecia Pérez Cosette , Gleicys Moreno Rodríguez  , Georgina Ortega Luna
Published: June 2024

La emergencia en Cuba de medios independientes en línea y su creciente relevancia a nivel internacional, la presencia de la diáspora cubana en procesos de comunicación pública mediados por la web y la ascendente participación en redes sociales digitales de cubanos en todo el mundo, obligan a repensar los procesos comunicativos de la isla más allá de las fronteras del territorio nacional. A partir de un modelo analítico que se apoya en las nociones de comunicación pública y transnacionalismo, el presente artículo realiza un análisis de las condiciones que caracterizan a la comunicación pública que tiene lugar en Cuba y propone la perspectiva transnacional para el estudio de los fenómenos asociados a este campo. En un primer momento se contextualiza el fenómeno migratorio en Cuba desde el triunfo de la Revolución hasta la actualidad y la emergencia de los nuevos medios independientes en línea. Luego se atiende a los referentes teóricos que sustentan el trabajo y finalmente se analiza la relevancia de la diáspora en los procesos comunicativos asociados a la isla y cómo esto, junto a las prácticas de los medios independientes en línea, median la configuración de la comunicación pública en Cuba marcada por lo glocal.
Adult intussusception secondary to intestinal tuberculosis: A case report
Authors: Shabir Saima , Zulfiqar Komal , Shahzadi Eram , Danishwar Mahmood
Published: June 2024

Adult intussusception is a rare disorder that accounts for only 1% of intestinal obstruction and 3%–5% of all intussusceptions. The classical triad of intussusception includes abdominal pain, bleeding per rectum, and palpable mass. The underlying causes of gut telescoping include gallstone ileus, acute leukemia after consolidation chemotherapy, immunocompromised status, and intestinal tuberculosis. Management involves laparotomy or laparoscopic reduction, along with treatment of the underlying cause. We present the case of a 35-year-old-female who presented with a complaint of absolute constipation for three days. Physical examination revealed tender abdomen with sluggish bowel sounds. Abdominal ultrasound showed ileocolic intussusception as the cause. Consequently, the patient underwent right hemicolectomy with ileostomy. Further workup confirmed intestinal tuberculosis as the causative factor, and antituberculosis therapy (ATT) was initiated. Intestinal tuberculosis can lead to intussusception and should be considered in adult patients presenting with abdominal pain, palpable masses, and bloody stool. Such patients require postoperative anti-tuberculosis therapy to cure the underlying tuberculosis.

Published: June 2024

The magnetic properties and hysteresis loops for the hexagonal Ising nanowire (HIN) with a core-shell structure consisting of mixed spins with the core spin being spin-5/2 and the shell spins being spin-3/2 are studied. The Blume-Capel model is considered by using the mean-field approximation (MFA) based on the Gibbs-Bogoliubov inequality for free energy. The impact of different bilinear interaction parameters (Jcc, Jss, Jcs) between the core, shell, and core and shell spins, respectively, including the crystal (Dc, Ds) and external magnetic fields (h = hc = hs) at the core and shell sites, are taken into consideration. In order to obtain phase diagrams on various planes, the thermal changes of the net, core, and shell magnetizations are investigated for various values of our system parameters. It is discovered that the model exhibits only second-order phase transitions when h = 0.0 for D greater or equal to zero, first- and second-order phase transitions for h ≠ 0.0 and compensation temperatures for all h.
Reflection on the Fourth Stage of Historical Consciousness in Korean Independent Documentary Films: Dynamics of Societal Conflict and Integration
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, kim joohyun
Published: June 2024

This paper aims to redefine Korean independent documentary films as historical documentaries and explore their historical consciousness. To achieve this, Agnes Heller’s theory of historical consciousness stages was applied, and various independent documentary works were analyzed, classified by era, theme, and style, to meticulously delineate the historical consciousness of Korean independent documentary films into four stages. In the first stage, ‘General History’was transformed into ‘People’s History’, while the second stage reexamined ‘Grassroots History.’The significance of ‘Reflective Self and Historical Interpretation’was sought in the third stage, and the meaning of ‘Historical Participation and Action from Below’was found in the fourth stage. Through this process, the identity of Korean independent documentary films was further expanded into historical documentaries, laying the groundwork for diverse historical discussions. Consequently, Korean independent documentary films now offer opportunities for deeper understanding and exploration of historical aspects.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Jung Moon Kyung
Published: June 2024

the Yoek(Change) through the structural consideration of the Yoek(Change). Sinmyeongsado was painted by Nammyeong Cho-sik, a Confucian scholar during the Joseon Dynasty.
The subject of the study is Sinmyeongsado. The method of the study was first discussed that the station is the yin-yang five elements, and Sinmyeongsado is also the yin-yang five elements. Second, the station consists of an inner and an outer eight-gwa, and Sinmyeongsado is also composed of an inner and an outer eight-gwa. Third, The gate of the mouth has the structure of an inner and an outer eight-gwa. An inner eight-gwa made in three square shapes under Taeil-gun, the outer eight-gwa made in three castles, and the inner and outer eight-gwa made in the gate of the mouth are connected to form a trinity in the inner and outer centers. Fourth, Sinmyeongsado is a structure in which the Gyeong(Concentrating mind)appears by the Hwajijingwa, the 35th Gwa inside, and righteousness appears by the Hwajijingwa, the 35th Gwa outside. Fifth, as the 64 Gwa are formed by the inner and outer eight-gwa in the station, the Sinmyeongsado also has a basic trade of 64 Gwa by the inner and outer eight-gwa. Sixth, Sinmyeongsado is traded in 64 Gwa through the three gates of the mouth, the eyes, and the ears. Seventh, the three flags of Sinmyeongsado represent the five elements of sky, the five elements of the earth, and the five elements of a person, and express the 4×4×4＝64 Gwa. Eighth, the word “Sinmyeongsado” itself is Sinmyeongsado.
The conclusion of the study is that Sinmyeongsado represents the Yoek(Change) from the perspective of the Yoek(Change).
It is true that this paper is insufficient in a situation where there are few prior papers that have analyzed Sinmyeongsado from the perspective of the Yoek(Change), and it is hoped that it will serve as a cornerstone for analyzing Sinmyeongsado from various perspectives as well as from the perspective of the Yoek(Change).
The Effect of Organizational Facilitating Conditions on Job Satisfaction among Army Officers－focusing on Army Bands
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Kim Sae-Hoon
Published: June 2024

This study was conducted to determine the effect of organizational facilitating conditions on job satisfaction of Army officers. For this purpose, correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between organizational facilitating conditions and job satisfaction among military band officers and non-commissioned officers of the Army, and independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to determine the differences in job satisfaction according to demographic and organizational characteristics of the army band.
As a result of the analysis, first, among the sub-components of organizational facilitating conditions, only educational facilitating conditions were found to have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. These results support previous research that the burden of teaching work negatively affects organizational commitment and positive attitudes, and that on-the-job training promotes professional development, which in turn affects job satisfaction. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to provide professional training conditions for band enlisted soldier, as well as to expand the number of officers who can provide training and guidance to band enlisted soldier and share the workload. In addition, if it is difficult to create a separate educational institution within the military due to the very small size of the band department, it is also necessary to create conditions where training can be conducted from time to time by utilizing civilian personnel to solve the educational deficiency. In addition, as the number of active-duty enlisted soldiers has been plummeting in recent years, a policy of expanding the number of officer’s instead of reducing the size of the enlisted soldier will improve the efficiency of their main specialties while sharing the training tasks.
Second, while demographic characteristics did not affect job satisfaction, position and status were found to have a significant effect on job satisfaction among band organizational characteristics. This is consistent with previous studies that have shown that job satisfaction is significantly higher for commanders compared to staff officers. Therefore, it is necessary to seriously examine whether the structure of army bands and the division of duties are overly biased toward the staff to improve the work of the staff. In addition, the imbalance in job satisfaction between non-commissioned officers and officers should be carefully diagnosed as a factor, and measures should be taken to increase mutual job satisfaction and eliminate the gap between positions and status.
This study is significant in that it is the first study to apply the organizational facilitating conditions to a military organization.
A Study of the State of Applied Musicology Research －Focusing on Domestic Doctoral Thesis－
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Ahn Si-hyeon
Published: June 2024

This thesis aims to establish foundational data for the field of applied musicology, with a focus on research conducted on practical music in Korea. To accomplish this, an analysis was conducted on the current status of doctoral dissertations related to practical music, categorizing them into practical and popular music.
The Department of Applied Music in Korean universities was established in 1988. Although a doctoral program was introduced in 2003, research papers on applied music were not prevalent. There are over 1,500 theses and dissertations related to applied music stored in the National Assembly Library, and individual papers are published in various academic journals. However, due to the difficulty in synthesizing these sources comprehensively, the significance lies in examining the current state of research on applied music, focusing on doctoral dissertations, to establish foundational data for the field of applied musicology.
The concept of applied music encompasses a wide range of musical cultures, including popular music, jazz, Eastern traditional music, Western classical music, and others, as defined by the educational objectives of universities. It aims to create “music of the 21st century” by integrating various musical genres. In terms of categorization, an examination of university curricula in South Korea reveals over 100 courses classified under this category.
The current status of doctoral dissertations on applied music and popular music reveals that there have been 94 papers (from 1992 to 2024) on applied music, conducted at 23 different institutions. Notably, Kyung Hee University and Sangmyung University have produced the highest number of dissertations in this field. As for popular music, there have been 65 papers (from 1994 to 2023), researched at 33 institutions. Kyung Hee University leads in the number of dissertations, followed by Sangmyung University and Sejong University. These papers were categorized and analyzed based on their content, with 35 focusing on historical aspects, 64 on typology, 41 on effects, and 19 on applications, totaling 159 papers.
The nature of these papers covers various topics such as the overall history of popular music, expected outcomes through program development, emotional and therapeutic uses of popular music, as well as papers exploring humanities-related subjects like philosophy and aesthetics. However, there is a scarcity of papers specifically focused on aesthetics and art studies.
A Study on the Implementation of C Language Codes for Classical Test Theory
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Han Changho
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this paper is to implement classical test theory (CTT) as C code to obtain statistical analysis, item difficulty, and item discrimination used for the item analysis, and to verify the performance by comparing it with the existing commercial TestAn program.
Test theory for item evaluation is divided into CTT and item response theory (IRT). Recently, the IRT has been widely used, but CTT is also used as an item analysis theory along with IRT. In this paper, CTT was directly implemented as C code, compared and analyzed the difference between the results calculated using the actual examinee’s answer sheet and the commercial program for the accuracy of the program calculation result. The formula for CTT was implemented as C language code, and the code was presented so that it could be changed and utilized in various platforms such as Android, Linux, dotNet, etc. Therefore, it is expected that it will be highly utilized in the industrial field that builds an evaluation system.
The Prerequisite and Arbitrariness in Plato’s Atlantis
Authors:   The Korean Society of Human and Nature, Chung Iksoon
Published: June 2024

This paper studies the term ‘utopia’ that has prerequisite and arbitrariness to understand Atlantis in a unknown aspects. The origin of utopia comes from the place name ‘Atlantis’ mentioned by Plato. Plato demarcated us to contemplate the ideal world of Atlantis through human knowledge and experience. There are elements that allow us to recognize utopia related to its prerequsite and arbitrariness in this paper. Based on the absolute belief that there are no logical errors in utopia, we can freely traverse the world of utopia. The term ‘utopia’ represents a repeated place that does not exist in real world. This fictional world becomes a possible world similar to the real thing through our imagination. So that the Atlantis mentioned by Plato derives secondary theories. This problem starts from the fact that the prerequisites and arbitrariness of Atlantis are omitted at any rate. The story of Atlantis was created during the time when the Earth was considered the center of the universe. Plato created a space that could be interpreted with new knowledge in order to map Atlantis. Atlantis becomes a new model for the world as it reflects changes and technology. Therefore, it is a world dominated by theory and arbitrariness. In literature and philosophy, we create worlds similar to Atlantis to observe and experiment with new events. Plato gave birth to a new world, and Atlantis deeply engages with changes over time. Consequently, Atlantis is a place where the proactive meaning of utopia occurs. This paper starts from the fact that new information and technological advancements about Atlantis endlessly produce new narratives.

Published: June 2024

Cancer poses significant challenges to global health, necessitating the exploration of innovative therapies. CO2 plasma activated water (PAW) holds promise as a novel therapeutic agent due to its selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. This study investigated the in-vitro cytotoxic activity of CO2 PAW against human hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells. The cytotoxic effect of CO2 PAW on HepG2 cells was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cells were seeded in 96-well plates, treated with varying volumes of PAW. Morphological changes induced by PAW treatment were assessed using phase-contrast microscopy. The total RNA isolated from HepG2 cells, treated with PAW using the GF-1 total RNA extraction kit, qRT-PCR was performed using SYBR-green master mix with cDNA templates and synthesized primers. Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism (ver. 9.5, USA, 1992) and presented as mean ± standard error of means. The results revealed dose-dependent cytotoxic effects, with higher concentrations inducing pronounced cell death. Morphological changes in HepG2 cells post-PAW treatment and gene expression analysis showed significant (P<0.05) alterations in Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA levels, indicative of intrinsic apoptotic pathway activation.

Impact of Corporate Social Performance on Financial Performance: Evidence from Islamic Banks, Conventional Banks and Social Banks
Authors: Mohamed Sultan Syed Alwi , Wan Ahmad Wan Marhaini , Ismath Bacha Obiyathulla , Ramlee Roslily
Published: June 2024

Purpose — This study aims to assess the impact of banking models on the relationship between corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) in determining a viable model for sustainable banking.
Design/Methodology/Approach — The study uses a cross-country sample of 117 financial institutions across 36 countries over an 8-year observation period between 2013 and 2020. To address heterogeneity and endogeneity issues, the authors use the System Generalised Methods of Moments (GMM) estimation models. The study also constructs a novel CSP Index as the independent variable for the research. This CSP Index comprises six indicators reflecting dimensions of financial inclusion and intermediation, serving as proxies for sustainable banking.
Findings — The findings reveal that the distinct banking models have a significant impact and can alter the direction of the CSP-CFP relationship. Specifically, the conventional banking (CB) model exhibits a statistically significant negative association between CSP and CFP. Conversely, the Islamic banking (IB) model emerges as a promising avenue for sustainable finance, indicating that increased corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities within Islamic banks (IBs) lead to greater profitability. This difference arises from the inherent strengths of the IB system in conducting financial intermediation and inclusion activities.
This contrasts with the CB model’s reliance on debt-based instruments, which exacerbates risk and detrimentally impacts financial performance. The findings also show that the social banking (SB) model has a significant effect on the CSP-CFP relationship.
Originality/Value — The findings give new insights into the longstanding debate on the CSP-CFP relationship by examining the impact of banking models. Introducing a novel CSP Index, characterised by its objectivity and verifiability, addresses the prevalent issue of bias inherent in the CSP indices of previous studies.

Published: June 2024

The addition of an extra parameter to standard distributions is a common technique in statistical theory. This study introduces a new generalization of the Exponentiated Inverted Weibull distribution named alpha power exponentiated Inverted Weibull distribution (APEIW). The APEIW allows for a significant amount of versatility in modeling various data forms as it accommodates upside-down bathtubs, decreasing, and reversed-J shapes for hazard rate function. Some of the APEIW’s mathematical properties are derived in close forms. The maximum likelihood estimation technique was used for the purpose of estimation. Two real life data sets were used to show the applicability of the Alpha Power Exponentiated Inverted Weibull model over all other models considered in this study.

Limitations and Exceptions in the Digital Era
Authors: Patry William
Published: June 2024

Ideological polarization has hijacked copyright debates, drowning out the question: how do we get our copyright laws to do what we want them to do? The term “limitations and exceptions” assumes that the ability to control all unauthorized uses is the norm. This special comment asserts that private rights should never trump public interest, and that our copyright laws must reflect this principle. Copyright law must be grounded in current technological and market conditions in order to accomplish its lofty objectives. Even as changes wrought by digital technology are at the core of most debates over copyright, there is a failure to grasp the profundity of these changes and the challenges they pose. We need dynamic laws in order to encourage creativity on the internet. Properly structured copyright laws would enable desirable behaviour in a world that technology is changing faster than ever before. It is argued that guiding principles such as fair use should be the bases for adjudication and not statutory straitjackets, as is already the case in legal regimes supporting the most advanced technology sectors, in India and the U.S.A. Though legislative and judicial understandings are not always at par in their level of progression, even judicial interpretation in light of broad principles as opposed to a closed list is a step in the right direction because we need transformative laws to regulate the transformative world we live in.

Published: June 2024

Aim: In previous studies, the arginine-nitric oxide pathway has been associated with pathways specific to some chronic diseases such as obesity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of dietary-like amounts of arginine supplementation on fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels in obese and normal-weighted individuals. Methods: This study was conducted with 40 participants (20 obese and 20 control). The participants consumed 4500 mg arginine supplement and low protein (41 mg arginine/25 g powder product) soup after one-night hunger. Resting metabolic rate (RMR) and 1st, 2nd, and 5th hour fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) levels were measured and 3-day food consumptions were recorded. Results: There was no significant difference between the mean baseline and 1st -hour FeNO level of the participants in the obese group and the mean baseline FeNO level of the participants in the control group. The mean 2nd and 5th hour FeNO level of the participants in the control group were significantly higher than the mean 2nd and 5th hour FeNO levels of the participants in the obese group (p
Can Cognitive Behavioral Therapy be Effective for Social Anxiety Disorder with Dissociative and Self-Harm Behaviors in a 15-Year-Old Adolescent?

Social anxiety disorder can be quite a challenge for adolescents, often leading to intense fear of social situations and sometimes even dissociation. In this case study, we explored the experiences of a 15-year-old girl who was dealing with social anxiety disorder, dissociation, and self-harm. Despite initially showing symptoms of anxiety, avoiding social situations, and experiencing dissociation, the patient made significant progress through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). One notable aspect of this case was the patient's experience of dissociation, which manifested as interactions with imaginary friends. This highlights the need for further research and consideration of dissociative symptoms in the context of social anxiety disorder. It also emphasizes the importance of addressing the root causes of these symptoms. While our main focus in therapy was on reducing social anxiety, it's worth noting that the patient's dissociative symptoms and self-harming behaviors significantly improved with CBT. This underscores the effectiveness of CBT as a powerful treatment option for managing social anxiety disorder, dissociation, and self-harm.

Antecedentes. Los sistemas nacionales y regionales de prestación de atención médica a las emergencias pueden diferir mucho entre sí. Se buscó dilucidar la presencia de médicos en la atención prehospitalaria y su implantación en los diferentes países europeos. Método. Se analizaron los datos de 32 países europeos recogidos mediante la revisión de artículos publicados y a través de cuestionarios enviados a los autores de artículos científicos pertinentes, funcionarios del ministerio de sanidad (o equivalente), representantes de sociedades nacionales de medicina de urgencias o expertos reconocidos en medicina de urgencias. Resultados. Treinta de los 32 países europeos investigados (94%) disponen de médicos en los servicios de emergencias prehospitalarios. En 17 de 32 (53%), los médicos generalistas también participan en la atención a las emergencias prehospitalarias. Los modelos de los sistemas de emergencias médicas (SEM) se describieron como francoalemanes en 27 países (84%), híbridos en 17 (53%) o angloamericanos en 14 (44%). En 17 países (53%), coexistían diferentes modelos. Utilizando una nueva forma de clasificación por niveles, basada en la población media y el área atendida por el SEM prehospitalario, se pudieron diferenciar claramente los diferentes modelos existentes. Conclusiones. Se observan notables diferencias en los diseños de los SEM y en la presencia de los médicos entre las diferentes áreas geográficas, países y regiones de Europa. Coexisten varios modelos (francoalemán, híbrido y angloamericano), algunos simultáneamente, en los diferentes países

Objetivo. Identificar el perfil epidemiológico, clínico y toxicológico de los pacientes consumidores de ketamina en el contexto de una intoxicación aguda por drogas recreativas. Método. Estudio observacional retrospectivo en pacientes atendidos en varios servicios de urgencias (SU) en Baleares por intoxicaciones agudas por drogas recreativas con exposición a ketamina confirmada analíticamente, entre enero de 2016 y diciembre de 2020. El análisis toxicológico en muestras de orina se realizó mediante inmunoensayo y cromatografía de gases acoplada a espectrometría de masas. Resultados. Se incluyeron 122 pacientes. La edad media fue de 26,7 (DE 6,5) años. La mayoría eran hombres (77,9%) y no residentes en las Islas Baleares (74,6%). Los casos se detectaron mayoritariamente en verano y en Ibiza (84,4%). El uso de ketamina solo fue declarado por el paciente o fue clínicamente sospechado por el médico en el 40,2%. Los signos clínicos más frecuentes fueron taquicardia (43,4%), hipertensión (28,7%), midriasis (27,0%), disminución de la consciencia (25,4%), agitación/agresividad (25,4%) e hipotermia (21,3%). Siete pacientes (5,7%) requirieron ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). La cocaína (93,4%) y la 3,4-metilendioximetanfetamina (MDMA) (78,7%) fueron las drogas más detectadas junto con la ketamina. El policonsumo fue habitual (98,4%), combinando ketamina, cocaína y MDMA, en algunos casos asociado a otras sustancias. Conclusiones. La detección de ketamina en intoxicaciones por drogas recreativas se asocia a consumidores con un perfil característico (varones jóvenes, no residentes, asistentes a eventos de música electrónica y policonsumo) y un alto porcentaje desconocen de este consumo.

Authors: Barbancho Benitez Clara Belen
Published: June 2024

El libro de Douglas Rushkoff et al., publicado en castellano por la editorial Capitan Swing, trata a lo largo de 232 páginas, de los planes aislacionistas de la élite tecnológica, que pretende enfrentar una inminente crisis global, “el evento”, aislándose del mundo mediante su dinero y la tecnología adecuada dejando al resto de la humanidad atrás, con las consecuencias de la depredación masiva del mundo por parte de los, ahora, mil-millonarios ocultos en búnkeres a la espera del evento. Reflexionando a cerca de esta reacción por parte de los más poderosos el autor plantea la Mentalidad como su origen, concepto que explora y aterriza en nuestra visión del mundo.

Euphemisms as Cultural and Social Phenomenon: Cross- Cultural Contrastive Study of English and Albanian Euphemistic Expressions
Authors:   “Fan. S. Noli” University. Korçë, Albania, (Cicko) Dr. Alda Jashari
Published: June 2024

Euphemisms have been traditionally viewed as social taboos operative within the language-community and specifically as being “isolated” into their historical contexts and the established cultural conditions. Euphemisms help us to understand how taboo topics are conceived in cultural groups and what beliefs are accepted, rejected, or implicitly legitimated. Indeed, it is the social and cultural nature of euphemisms that make them so changing over time and across societies Different cultural backgrounds have reflected various views and attitudes towards delicate and touching issues such as taboos. In this context Albanian and English communities as distinguishable culturally identified societies have in an original and unrepetitive way designated the linguistic material in the process of euphemistic expressions generation and embedment. This contrastive analysis aims at investigating the way superstitious and social taboos have given rise to several types of euphemisms in both languages, linguistic materials which should be explained based on social cultural and mental grounds and peoples’ general belief that there is a somehow supernatural and instinctive hidden link between the linguistic sign and the referent it represents. At this point, it seems that Albanian and English communities have not “suffered” from similar unexplained fears, doubts, insecurities, and irrationalities. It is more than evident that while consulting the euphemistic corpus of Albanian and English euphemisms, distinguishable differences can be spotted.
