Authors: Cabaço João
Published: March 2024

Znaczenie kompetencji międzykulturowych w europejskich agencjach działających w obszarze wymiaru sprawiedliwości i spraw wewnętrznych jest nie do przecenienia. Agencje te, charakteryzujące się ponadnarodowym charakterem i obecnością różnorodnych kultur i grup etnicznych, wymagają profesjonalistów, którzy posiadają wrażliwość kulturową, świadomość i kompetencje międzykulturowe, aby skutecznie wykonywać swoje role. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu analizę różnych wymiarów kompetencji międzykulturowych i zrozumienie, w jaki sposób profesjonaliści postrzegają i doceniają ich znaczenie. Poprzez wspieranie współpracy na rzecz wspólnych celów, badanie to ma na celu zwiększenie skuteczności tych agencji w środowiskach wielokulturowych
Efekt transylwański — związek między fazami Księżyca a liczbą zgłoszeń interwencji do Policji
Authors: Dobrowolski Filip , Gierszewski Janusz
Published: March 2024

Efekt transylwański, nazywany inaczej księżycowym, to założenie o istnieniu wpływu Księżyca na zachowanie ludzi. Negatywne zachowania, w tym przestępstwa i wykroczenia, mają nasilać się w czasie określonych faz Księżyca, głównie w czasie pełni. Celem przeprowadzonego badania była weryfikacja istnienia związków pomiędzy fazami Księżyca a liczbą wezwań i interwencji Policji. Badanie przeprowadzone zostało na obszarze powiatu toruńskiego i obejmowało trzy wskaźniki: liczbę interwencji, wypadków i kolizji drogowych oraz zgłoszeń w Krajowej Mapie Zagrożeń Bezpieczeństwa. Dane dotyczyły okresu od 1 grudnia 2016 r. do 30 listopada 2022 r. Dane dotyczące zmiennych zależnych zostały zebrane z Komendy Miejskiej Policji Toruniu oraz Komendy Głównej Policji, natomiast dane o fazach Księżyca pochodziły z obserwatorium astronomicznego Uniwersytetu Mikołaja Kopernika w Toruniu. Wyniki analiz statystycznych nie wykazały istnienia związku między fazami Księżyca a liczbą wezwań i interwencji Policji. Przeprowadzono również odrębne obliczenia dla pełni Księżyca, które także nie wykazały tej zależności. Oznacza to, że nie ma potrzeby uwzględniania faz Księżyca w planowaniu służb patrolowych, zarówno w służbie prewencji, jak i ruchu drogowym. Potwierdzono, że fazy Księżyca nie mają wpływu na liczbę zgłoszonych interwencji do Policji

Time - space - relations - a student of the artistic school in the educational experiment during the pandemic
Authors: Weiner Agnieszka
Published: March 2024

In this article, the author explores a niche but important problem of functioning of the artistic schools during difficult times of social isolation and virtual learning. More specifically, qualitative experiences of students of artistic schools during COVID-19 pandemic were examined and reconstructed. The unusual panedmic praxis was described as percolating experiences of a sense of agency and school reality. Such a narrative was inspired by J.Bruner and H.Thierch and the concept of three dimensions: time, space and relations. Considering students as experts in their own experiences allowed the author to build a statistical model which helped to discover factors associated with the sense of agency. The author describes in depth positive factors contributing to the sense of agency. These factors can therefore be used to further improve the education system and the educational experience of students.

Reflections on upbringing in the post-pandemic era – around the book "Powerless education. On the education of the fragile, Krzysztof Maliszewski, Katowice 2021, wyd. University of Silesia, ss. 206
Authors: Karkowska Magda
Published: March 2024

"Powerless education. On the education of the fragile" is an extremely original collection of the author's thoughts on the dilemmas experienced by everyone who deals with education today. The book is divided into seven interrelated essays, accompanied by a bibliography, an index of names and a summary. The essence and at the same time the consequence of the adopted logic of considerations is the anthropological reconstruction of relational space not only in upbringing, but in general in interpersonal interactions – it describes the experience of contact with the unknown, disagreement, searching first for ways of escape, and then taming what is first, unknown, or known and neglected, but repressed or negated.The author juxtaposes two models of education, the so-called weak and strong education, pointing to their social and philosophical entanglements and familiarizing readers with their possible consequences, both developmental and social. The book does not lack literary, philosophical and religious references. In addition to reflections based on the foundations of pedagogical thinking (Folkierska), completely new threads appear (Biesta, Sławek). It is important that these narratives, lines of thought complement each other, intersect, and none of the author's associations appears accidentally or is placed in a vacuum. The book seems to be an illustration of the methods of narrative insight into experience – Maliszewski writes very suggestively, convincingly describing what he probably experienced himself, opening the space of phenomenological discourse to which he invites readers.
AUTISMO E PSICOSE: UMA INTERSECÇÃO PSICOPATOLÓGICA
Authors: Alves Lucas Macedo , Ribeiro Leonardo Miranda
Published: March 2024

A trajetória do autismo é marcada por avanços significativos no entendimento deste transtorno, além de mudanças de paradigmas na avaliação psicopatológica dessa síndrome. Historicamente o autismo esteve frequentemente associado com transtornos psicóticos (principalmente com a esquizofrenia). Apesar dos avanços obtidos ao longo dos anos, persistem similaridades nas manifestações clínicas dos quadros de autismo e psicoses. Nas últimas décadas, os estudos epidemiológicos sugerem um nível moderado de comorbidade entre TEA e transtornos psicóticos. Apesar disso, as séries de casos na literatura científica em que é descrito a avaliação e acompanhamento destes pacientes demonstram que a comorbidade é rara e dentro do padrão esperado da população. O intuito principal é analisar dois casos clínicos, suas manifestações psicopatológicas e o desenvolvimento dos pacientes atendidos em um CAPSi de Brasília para que possam ser ofertadas orientações e conhecimentos em saúde mental, trazendo percepções sobre a importância da psicopatologia no diagnóstico desses dois transtornos. Nestes dois relatos de caso destacamos o desafio clínico que surgiu durante o atendimento destes pacientes. Embora a prevalência global de psicose comórbida no TEA pareça baixa, é menos claro com que frequência o rótulo está sendo bem aplicado, sem a devida avaliação psicopatológica apurada. A avaliação psicopatológica e a fenomenologia são elementos fundamentais na prática psiquiátrica e devem ser trazidas de volta ao foco dos profissionais, especialmente considerando o aumento dos diagnósticos categóricos e comportamentais que temos observado nos últimos anos. A compreensão profunda da psicopatologia é essencial para garantir diagnósticos precisos e tratamentos eficazes.

Neurological Expertise and Courts of Law: It Is All About Trauma, Maybe Not?
Authors: Vyshka Gentian , Basha Entela , Ranxha Eris
Published: March 2024

Neurological expertise is requested from courts of law in some particular cases, both in criminal and civil proceedings. With the judiciary field falling mostly within the scope of legal medicine professionals, and forensic psychiatrists, the role of an expert from other medical specialties seems unfamiliar. While considering the neurological deficits and diagnoses, experts rely on classificatory systems that highly fragmentize isolated somatic injuries. Such a stand might not reflect the impact of the injury or deficit for the patient as a whole. Neurotraumatology has been the main field where expertise is necessary, following civil suits, litigation, malpractice, and remuneration requests. Other neurological disorders are not immune from being at the center of a legal issue, such as dementia, epilepsy and so on. Well known in the still debatable issue on epilepsy being a disease of mind or not. Thus, neurologists at court should carefully avoid psychiatric overlapping of opinions and remain within the limits of their specialty, while considering a multifaceted issue.

The study underscores the significance of non-Western media’s role in shaping global cultural and linguistic landscapes, highlighting Hallyu’s contribution to diversifying language education and cultural identity among global youth. This research provides valuable insights into the dynamics of media consumption, cultural globalization, and their implications for cultural identity and language learning.
A Review of Mass Spectrometry as an Important Analytical Tool for Structural Elucidation of Biological Products
Authors: Ajayi Oluwaseun Olanike
Published: March 2024

Mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the most versatile analytical measurement tools available to scientists today and finds application in virtually most aspects of chemistry research. MS is an efficient method to elucidate the structure and chemical composition of different samples or molecule. Recently, it has been used to classify biological products, in particular proteins and protein complexes, in a number of species. The success of mass spectrometry is driven both by innovative instrumentation designs, especially those operating on the time-of-flight or ion-trapping principles, and by large-scale biochemical strategies, which use mass spectrometry to detect the isolated proteins. Due to MS capability to distinguish between substances, it is used to identify unknown substances and its isotopes. When compared with other analytical tools or orthogonal methods used in analytical laboratories, mass spectrometers are often used as it has less background interference since it is performed in a vacuum. The increase in sensitivity and resolution of the MS has opened new dimensions for structural elucidation of biological products. In this review, the recent research application of MS techniques for the structural elucidation of some biological products was presented.

Religious edifices in India seems to have developed during the urban phase of Indus Sarasvati or Harappan civilization (3200-2600 BCE) and continuing afterwards, till the sixth century CE. The certain concepts of Gods and human beings have led to the emergence of temple as an architectural body. The relationship of Indus valley’s people with the God or gods can be surmised in conformity with the antiquarian remains discovered in archaeological excavations conducted at the sites of Indus Sarasvati Civilization during the several last decades.
Wildlife Preservation and Public Enlightenment: An In-Depth Analysis of Kanpur Zoological Park's Contribution to Conservation and Education
Authors: Nithilan K. M.  , Sundaram Asha , Anil Girija
Published: March 2024

Sprawling over 76.56 hectares, the Kanpur Zoological Park (KZP) is the largest open green space in Kanpur and the largest zoological park in North India. Housing over 1,400 animals representing nearly 125 species, KZP serves as a crucial sanctuary for endangered wildlife. Notably, they participate in breeding programs for critically endangered species like the white tiger (with a captive population of 3 at KZP) and the Himalayan black bear (currently housing 5 individuals). KZP's rehabilitation efforts have successfully released 23 Indian pangolins back into their natural habitat since 2010, contributing directly to the conservation of this threatened species.In the realm of education, KZP offers a diverse range of programs, reaching over 800,000 students annually. These programs include interactive exhibits, guided tours, and educational workshops, fostering environmental awareness and appreciation for biodiversity. However, challenges remain, including ensuring the ethical welfare of animals in captivity and measuring the long-term impact of educational programs on visitor behavior.By embracing new technologies, fostering collaboration with other organisations, and prioritising ethical practices, KZP has the potential to significantly improve its impact. This can include initiatives like utilising VR technology to enhance visitor engagement with animal habitats (studies suggest VR experiences can increase knowledge retention by up to 20%) and developing standardised assessment methods to measure the effectiveness of educational programs. By addressing these challenges and leveraging its strengths as a prominent green space and conservation centre, KZP can become a leading force in inspiring future generations to become stewards of the environment.

Introduction to MedDRA Labeling Grouping (MLG): a standardized approach to grouping adverse reactions in product safety labels
Authors:   CIOMS Expert Working Group on MedDRA Labeling Groupings
Published: March 2024

The Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) is a terminology developed by the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH). While it is useful for precise coding of adverse events of medicines for data analysis, its high granularity can obscure the communication of adverse reactions in product labeling for healthcare practitioners. Many sponsors and regulators have therefore begun to develop their own approaches to clustering similar adverse reaction terms in medical product prescribing information on a product-by-product basis. However, there are no agreed-upon conventions that describe which adverse reaction terms may be appropriate to group together. To improve safety communication to patients and healthcare providers, there is an urgent need for a harmonized international approach to the creation and use of groups of MedDRA terms, or “MedDRA Labeling Groupings (MLGs)”, in medical product prescribing information. The use of the consensus recommendations proposed in this report would be voluntary and applied to product labels in a manner that is consistent with existing regulatory frameworks.

Published: March 2024

The evolution of pharmacy education in the United States has seen transformative shifts, from apprenticeship models to the establishment of formal schools, and eventually, the adoption of Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) programs. In the 1970s, non-traditional PharmD (NTDP) programs emerged to cater to licensed pharmacists seeking career advancement. This study delves into the history, impact, and satisfaction of NTDP programs, focusing on the acclaimed Howard University College of Pharmacy (HUCOP). Despite the success and contributions of NTDP programs to the pharmacy profession, there is a dearth of research on the satisfaction of graduating students, particularly from minority populations. To address this gap, our study aims to evaluate the satisfaction of graduates from both traditional and NTDP programs, shedding light on potential barriers and strategies to enhance diversity in pharmacy education. Methods: A comprehensive survey, comprising 85 questions distributed online, was administered to traditional and NTDP students at the time of their graduation. The survey covered eight domains, employing Likert scales, multiple-choice, and open-ended formats. The data were analyzed using chi-square tests and student t-tests, with a significance level set at 0.05. Results: Demographic analysis revealed a predominantly female and non-Hispanic minority student population in both traditional and NTDP programs. While both groups expressed high overall satisfaction, differences emerged in specific domains. Traditional students reported higher agreement in Facilities, Experiential Sites, and Educational Resources, whereas NTDP students showed higher agreement in Student Experience and Overall Impressions. However, these differences did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: The study underscores the success of NTDP programs, particularly at HUCOP, in advancing the careers of licensed pharmacists and increasing diversity in the pharmacy profession. While overall satisfaction is high among graduates, subtle variations highlight areas for improvement. Future research should delve deeper into the experiences of minority populations in NTDP programs to address existing disparities and further enhance the inclusivity of pharmacy education.

New and emerging transportation technologies, driven by automation, connectivity, and electrification, could potentially help address the transportation sector’s persistent and pervasive problems, including those associated with safety, mobility, and energy use. For this reason, the state of Indiana, uniquely positioned to serve interstate truck traffic, sought ways to identify and incorporate these new technologies on Indiana’s highways. This report addressed the challenges and opportunities regarding the integration of transformative technologies in Indiana’s truck operations, with a particular focus on truck platooning. This report started with a review of current literature about disruptive technologies in general and truck platooning specifically. This included published information on the impacts of platooning on transportation outcomes—energy use, mobility, safety, truck operators’ comfort, infrastructure condition/longevity, emissions, and other impacts. Regarding these impacts, this report presents existing simulation models for analyzing/evaluating truck platooning. Driver comfort, in terms of the platoon inter-truck headways, was investigated using a driving simulation study in the Center for Connected and Automated Center (CCAT) human factors laboratory at Purdue. This report also identified and discussed opportunities and challenges to truck platooning, and a process was developed to identify truck-platooning sections and a multi-criteria framework for ex poste or ex ante evaluation of platooning segments. Finally, the report discusses the future trends of freight transportation in Indiana (including challenges and opportunities) in truck platooning policy and development.

Reels and Shorts are game-changing features that allow users to upload short video clips and video graphics backed up by AI (Artificial Intelligence) and VR (Virtual reality) filters with a video length of 15 seconds to 90 seconds. Although the features are adopted by both influencers and regular users, brands are not thoroughly applying these features in raising awareness and engagement due to the limited research on the field. The study focuses on the significance of social media reels and shorts in brand promotion and boosting growth creating a competitive edge. The study has implied the qualitative case study approach for determining the effectiveness of reels and shorts in the corporate realm. The data was identified and collected based on “grounded theory” where the data was collected from observing and studying the use of reels and short of Netflix and analyzing the significance of the study at hand. By analyzing the patterns of Netflix’s TikTok and Meta accounts posting, this article identifies that brands can boost both engagement and conversion by the use of reels and shorts as promotional tools. The research also outlines that brands can boost their promotion by two-fold co-existing their brand presence in both reels and shorts. Furthermore, brands should also use the platforms, tailoring the targeted demographics. As Instagram reels get around 22% engagement rate and TikTok shorts get around 18% of the engagement rate, brands should tailor their millennial segment through the Instagram Reels and iGen or the Generation Z segment through TikTok shorts.
