Toy Stories
Authors: Smith Vanessa
Published: January 2024

The book sets out the stakes of recurrent depictions of children’s violent, damaging and tenuously restorative play with objects (which it terms “toy stories”) within a long nineteenth-century of fictional and educational writing. These are scenes of such aggression and anxiety that they cannot be squared with the standard picture of domestic childhood across that period, seeming rather to attest to the kinds of enactments of infant distress we would normally associate with post-psychoanalytic modernity. They create a ripple-on effect in the literary texts (particularly novels) that nest them: regressing developmental narratives, giving new value to wooden characters, exposing Realism’s solid objects to odd fracture, and troubling distinctions between artificial and authentic interiority. The “analyzing” of the subtitle signals not only a work of literary critical analysis, but a theoretical and cultural-analytic response to the provocation of such representations. Toy Stories radically reconceives nineteenth-century childhood and its literary depiction as anticipating the scenes, theories, and methodologies of early child analysis. In doing so, it offers an original reframing of the work of Melanie Klein and Anna Freud and their fractious disagreement about the interior life of the child and its object-mediated manifestations. The book proposes a shared literary and psychoanalytic discernment about child’s play that might in turn provide a deep context for understanding both the “development” of the novel and the keen British uptake of Klein and Anna Freud’s interventions in child therapy.

Authors: Bei Tianqing , Gao Hanlei , Gao Ruiyang , Shi Guangtong
Published: January 2024

Immigration is a very important link in the current international society. This paper will study and predict the net immigration of the United States and the Central African Republic through two different models- drift model and ARIMA model, and to further explore the trends and influencing factors of migration between these countries. The results show that from 1960 to 2021, net migration from the United States and the Central African Republic showed very different trends. The United States, as a developed country, attracts a large number of immigrants from all over the world, while the Central African Republic, as a developing country, the flow of immigrants is mainly affected by economic, political and social factors in the region. Therefore, it can be seen that developing countries and developed countries have different impacts on the number of immigrants. This study provides a basis for further understanding of population migration and net migration of United States and Central African Republic.
Using machine learning for bike sharing demand prediction
Authors: Qian Xinyu
Published: January 2024

Bike sharing has become a much more popular topic nowadays. Not only do the producers in bike-sharing need to provide a relatively accurate number of bikes in each period, but also the consumers need to have a general understanding of the number of bikes in each hour. This study analyses the dataset of bike-sharing rentals in 2011 in Washington, D.C. using machine learning, after training, testing, analyzing, and visualizing the dataset, the author chose the best model-random forest to predict it through the method of cross-test. The research result shows that the number of rentals in bike-sharing is the highest in the morning and evening travel peaks in one day, the highest in working days in one week, and the highest in autumn in one year. This information can help the bike-sharing service to prepare different quantities of bike-sharing at different times, and the customers would have a better overview of the bike demand when they plan to rent one. The whole research process provides valuable information for the service providers and users of bike-sharing.

Zhou Yi's understanding the Dongmoo Yi Je-Ma (東武 李濟馬)'s 『Gyeokchigo (格致藁)』 「太極圖 (Taegeukdo)」: Compared to Ken Wilber's AQAL
Authors:   The Korean Association for Philosophy of Medicine, Heo Hoon
Published: January 2024

Dongmoo Yi Je-Ma (東武 李濟馬, 1837-1900), a Confucian scholar and physician, founded the philosophy of Four Quadrants Structure (四象哲學) and Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM, 四象體質醫學) based on the theory of the Four Quadrants Structure (四象限) of the Kosmos. The uniqueness of SCM can be found in the “Zang-bu (臟腑, human body’s internal organs) Seong-li [性理, principle of the nature, Changes of the Zhou Yi (周易)]” which applies theory of the four quadrants structure to the human body and develops it into SCM. His “Zang-bu principle of the nature” is literally a combination of the theory of the principle of the nature and the theory of the human body, and the basis of this medical theory can be found in Dongmoo's representative philosophical work 『Gyeokchigo (格致藁)』 (1880-1893), also “The Diagram of the quadrants structure Kosmos (「Taegeukdo (太極圖)」)” can be found at 『Gyeokchigo』. In other words, Dong-moo has abbreviated the core of his philosophy and medical theory and presented in a single Diagram of the quadrants structure Kosmos. However, it's hard to find any prior research on this Diagram. Even the existing research works are limited to translating the original Chinese text of 『Gyeokchigo』 which explains the Diagram into Korean, and introducing Dongmoo's own commentary. This is primarily due to the lack of in-depth analysis Zhou Yi Principle in 「Taegeukdo」. In addition, there is the difficulty that we cannot easily find a scholarly precedent for the theory of the four quadrants structure of Kosmos, which is the basic theoretical foundation of the Four quadrants structure’s philosophy and SCM. However, since around 1995, integral psychologist Ken Wilber (1949-), who like Dongmoo, who argues the same argument, insists that “the Kosmos=four quadrants structure (四象構造),” that is AQAL (All Quadrant, All Level) has emerged. Wilber's AQAL scheme has been widely discussed in the community. Accordingly, in this paper, I aim to compare the Wilber's AQAL detailed diagrams with Dongmoo's Diagram of the Quadrants Structure of the Kosmos, identify the characteristics of each, and find the clue to the structure of the Zang-bu principle of the nature in the 「Taegeukdo」. Both diagram consider ‘Kosmos = four quadrants structure’ and simultaneously point out the Kosmos as a holarchy structure (multi-level reality). However, Wilber's diagram represents the phenomenal aspect of the Kosmos, whereas Dongmoo's 「Taegeukdo」 presents the principled aspect (Changes of the Zhou) of the structure of the Kosmos.
UNVEILING DUALITIES: US RHETORIC AND REALITY IN GLOBAL NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION UNDER TRUMP AND BIDEN ADMINISTRATIONS
Authors: Rashid Asma , Ullah Aiman Saif
Published: January 2024

The image the United States has always projected of itself in the international community is that of a state that is nuclear responsible and bears the responsibility to keep nuclear proliferation in check. To this effect, it uses sanctions, international pressure, and harsh language with states it deems to be in violation of the obligations of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime. On the other hand, however, there is doubt about the United States' own dedication to the cause of nuclear non-proliferation. This paper is an attempt to examine the role the US has played vis-à-vis nuclear proliferation. It deals with the question: what role US has played in promoting nuclear non-proliferation and what its probable effects are on the international nuclear non-proliferation landscape. It argues that the US has not only engaged in excessive nuclear proliferation since 1945 but has also damaged the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, thereby reduced restraints, and set dangerous precedence for other states. The paper recommends that US may lead the world towards nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament by example rather than unfair coercion.

DYNAMICS OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION IN SOUTH ASIA: LESSONS FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION
Authors: Niaz Muhammad Tariq , Shad Muhammad Riaz
Published: January 2024

Regional integration is aimed at promoting socioeconomic growth and development in a region through economic cooperation among the member states. The European Union (EU) was established to promote economic and political cooperation among member countries. EU’s unprecedented success in regional integration offers lessons for other regions. Unlike the EU, SAARC has not been successful in achieving significant economic integration among member states. Despite its potential, SAARC has been plagued by political and economic differences among member states, especially between Pakistan and India. South Asian countries are unable to boost regional integration not only because of their political differences but also due to other sub-regional and trans-regional initiatives that run anti to the spirit of regional integration under the umbrella of SAARC. India’s role towards regional integration in South Asia is considered significant being the leading nation in the region. This paper first identifies the economic and political factors that hinder regional integration in South Asia. Then, it focuses on the dynamics of successful regional integration in Europe intending to underline the lessons to be learned by the South Asian countries to boost their regional cooperation.

Authors: Cardoso Andréa Bittencourt , Trevisol Daisson José
Published: January 2024

Contexto: Atualmente, no Brasil, a legislação define que acidente de trabalho é aquele que ocorre durante o exercício do trabalho a serviço da empresa ou pelo exercício do trabalho dos segurados, provocando lesão corporal ou perturbação funcional, que cause a morte, a perda ou a redução, permanente ou temporária, da capacidade para o trabalho.  Nesse contexto, este trabalho visa abordar o panorama de acidentes com CAT da Região Sul do Brasil. Objetivos: Identificar o panorama dos acidentes de trabalho com CAT, disponibilizados na consulta de dados da Previdência Social, que dizem respeito aos anos de 2009 a 2018, nos estados da região Sul. Métodos: Estudo observacional, do tipo ecológico, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, com apoio da base de dados da Previdência Social do Brasil. Foram extraídos dados dessa plataforma, como: número absoluto de acidentes de trabalho-com CAT na região sul e, selecionados por: CID, CNAE, ano, sexo, idade e UF da região sul, durante o período de 2009 a 2018. Resultados e discussão: Nos três estados da Região sul, houve queda nas taxas de incidência do total de acidentes de trabalho com CAT, assim como os típicos e doenças do trabalho, de 2009 a 2018. Os de trajeto tiveram redução, no período, apenas no Paraná. O sexo masculino e pessoas jovens representaram a maior parte dos empregados acometidos. Enquanto Rio Grande do Sul e Paraná tiveram aumento das taxas de incidência de acidentes em quatro das 10 classes de CNAE, Santa Catarina mostrou ascensão para cinco delas. Os três estados apresentaram decréscimo nas taxas de incidência de acidentes em oito dos 10 capítulos de CID. Entretanto, o percentual de aumento nos outros dois capítulos foi elevado.

Authors: Marcelino Pedro Lucas Batalha , Monteiro Mateus Henrique de Jesus , Ribeiro Karla Tereza Silva , Ribeiro Sheyla Mara de Almeida
Published: January 2024

A utilização de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI´s) é uma necessidade fundamental em laboratórios de aulas práticas para assegurar a proteção dos profissionais e acadêmicos que utilizam o espaço. Entretanto, o uso inadequado desses equipamentos pode acarretar a proliferação de microrganismos patogênicos. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a presença de microrganismos em jalecos e máscaras de tecido utilizadas por acadêmicos dos cursos de biomedicina e ciências biológicas. A coleta foi realizada pela técnica de swab de superfície, utilizando-se swabs estéreis umedecidos em solução salina, os quais foram friccionados no punho do jaleco e na superfície interna da máscara, sendo, em seguida, semeados em placas de Petri contendo o meio de cultura Ágar Nutriente. As placas foram incubadas em estufa bacteriológica a 37ºC, durante 24 horas. Após este período, o crescimento bacteriano foi avaliado com base nas características macroscópicas das colônias, sendo isoladas aquelas com características distintas. As colônias isoladas foram identificadas com base na coloração de Gram e em testes bioquímicos para identificação das espécies bacterianas. Os resultados macroscópicos permitiram observar a presença de três colônias distintas tanto no jaleco, identificadas com CJ1, CJ2 e CJ3, como na máscara, identificadas como CM1, CM2 e CM3. Os resultados da coloração de Gram mostraram a presença de cocos e bacilos Gram positivos. As provas bioquímicas revelaram a presença de Staphylococcus epidermidis (CJ1, CM2 e CM3), compreendendo 50% das colônias bacterianas isoladas; Staphylococcus aureus (CJ2 e CJ3), 33,33% e Bacillus sp. (CM1), 16,66%. Considerando que os equipamentos de proteção individual são essenciais nas práticas laboratoriais, faz-se necessário a atenção aos cuidados de higiene básica com os equipamentos para evitar a proliferação e disseminação de agentes infecciosos.
QUALIFICAÇÃO ECONÔMICA E FINANCEIRA EM PROCESSOS DE LICITAÇÃO
Authors: De Vasconcellos Joyce da Silva
Published: January 2024

O presente estudo teve por intuito demonstrar os critérios utilizados para processos Licitatórios, da total habilitação documental, com foco na Qualificação Econômica Financeira e sua capacidade em garantir a execução do Contrato. O processo licitatório que era abarcado pela Lei 8.666/1993 ganhou algumas mudanças significativas com a Lei 14.133/2021, principalmente nas modalidades de licitação, as manteve algumas no que tange a qualificação financeira das empresas licitantes e que são requeridas na fase habilitatória. Assim, foi utilizada a revisão bibliográfica para discutir o assunto. Pode-se dizer que aAdministração Pública Financeira garante efetivamente a execução desse processo e a qualificação Financeira não é excessiva para analisar os questionamentos, visto não se tratar apenas de critérios colocados pela lei, mas de avaliação empresarial da empresa que está competindo em processo licitatório e deveras importante vendo hoje tantos casos de fraudes em licitações.Assim, como o que foi discutido no estudo, esta pesquisa elucidou a importância dos indicadores econômicos financeiros no decorrer do processo licitatório com vistas a seleção do fornecedor com melhores condições de executar o contrato.

O estudo aborda as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação como recurso mediador e estruturante, para a geração e disseminação de conhecimentos. Evidencia a avaliação das competências infocomunicacionais dos sujeitos, para compreenderem a sua atuação efetiva enquanto produtores e usuários da informação e do conhecimento. Quanto ao objetivo, a pesquisa busca analisar as competências infocomunicacionais dos Bibliotecários da Diretoria Integrada de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, na divulgação da sua produção científica. O estudo configura-se como descritivo com abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa. Expõe como resultados: no que se refere ao perfil dos bibliotecários, que a maioria pertence à geração X e os bibliotecários pós-graduados mantiveram seus estudos nas áreas das Ciências Humanas e Sociais; em relação ao uso das redes sociais, para além da atualização, os pesquisados as utilizam no compartilhamento de conteúdo das suas produções; sobre o autoarquivamento no repositório institucional da Universidade Federal do Maranhão, percebeu-se que esta não parece ser uma prática entre os pesquisados. Conclui que a Ciência da Informação e a Biblioteconomia são convidativas aos profissionais de outras áreas, porém, esse movimento não se dá pelos bibliotecários pesquisados. Acerca do autoarquivamento, entende-se que é um processo desafiador, por i sso requer uma política institucional mais robusta.

This also suggests implications for language instructors to take into consideration to improve learning outcomes.
Mentoring, not Monitoring: Mediating a Whole-School Model in Supervising Preservice Teachers
Authors: Sanford Kathy , Hopper Tim
Published: January 2024

This article offers a case study of a whole-school model for supervising preservice teachers that is related to the principles of professional development schools (Holmes Group, 1990) and Zeichner's (1992) notions of rethinking student teachers' practicum experience. The article draws on constructivist notions of learning to teach; in particular, reference is made to Vygotsky's (1978) sense of mediating a stimulus where in a social-cultural context a person's knowledge is created, examined, and transformed rather than simply absorbed and transmitted. The case study highlights the particular details of this whole-school model and connects these to five main empirical descriptors that were generated from data triangulated from preservice teachers' journals, evaluation forms, group meetings, and correspondence from cooperating teachers. The descriptors show how the whole-school model evolved and how the role of university facilitator shifted from monitoring to mentoring in the teacher preparation process. This change in relationship disrupted the isolating clinical model of supervision where the university facilitator and cooperating teacher, in an uneasy relationship, are perceived by preservice teachers as having power over them: "telling" the preservice teacher with little perceived opportunity for negotiation.

Investigating factors that affect conflicts between bicyclists and right turning vehicles at signalized intersections
Authors: Mansell Robert , Persaud Bhagwant , Milligan Craig , Pushka Amanda
Published: January 2024

Due to the recognition of active transportation as a beneficial alternative to more traditional modes of transportation, there is increasing interest in designing infrastructure systems to promote the safe use of forms such as bicycling. Collision data, which are typically used in road safety studies, may be incomplete and the use of such data is reactive as it requires collisions to have already taken place. Additionally, collisions involving bicyclists and vehicles are less common than those between vehicles. As a result, alternative approaches for evaluating the safety effect of various infrastructure attributes, such as the use of surrogate safety measures, specifically traffic conflicts, could be considered. Most collisions between bicyclists and vehicles occur at intersections and of these, collisions between right turning vehicles and bicyclists form the majority. The main objective of this study was to use cross-sectional regression models to investigate various intersection characteristics, including geometry, signal phasing, and bicycle infrastructure, with a view to determining which attributes are associated with a significant effect on right turning conflicts and how this may vary with different conflict severity levels. Using data for 65 signalized intersection approaches across Canada, various intersection attributes were found to be associated with the frequency of right turning conflicts such as exposure levels, the lateral offset of the bicycle facility and the grade of the approach to the intersection. The significance levels of the associated effects of certain attributes were observed to change with the severity level of the conflicts.

İfade Özgürlüğüne Genel Bir Bakış

İnsanı diğer canlılardan ayıran en önemli özellik düşünebilme yetisidir. İnsan, bu yeti sayesinde iç dünyasında çeşitli fikir ve düşünceler üretebilmektedir. Ancak, yalnızca kişinin iç dünyasında kalan, bir başka deyişle dış dünya ile paylaşılmayan fikir ve düşünceler anlamsız kalır. Fikir ve düşünceleri anlamlı kılan onları dış dünya ile paylaşmaktır. İşte bu noktada ifade özgürlüğü önem kazanmaktadır. Çünkü ifade özgürlüğü temelde düşüncelerin serbestçe dışa vurulabilmesini konu alır ve insanı insan yapan düşünebilme yetisine anlam kazandırır. Keza bu önemi sebebiyle ifade özgürlüğü, temel insan haklarına ilişkin uluslararası sözleşmelerin ve anayasaların neredeyse hepsinde koruma alınmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada da ifade özgürlüğünün önemi ve bu hakkın ulusal ve uluslararası mevzuattaki mevcut konumu göz önünde bulundurularak, okuyucuda bu temel insan hakkına ilişkin bir genel fikir oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır.

Background: The primary goals of conducting surveillance for viral hepatitis are to direct prevention and control activities for these diseases and to evaluate the impact of these activities. Any person with a hepatitis virus infection is a potential source of infection to others. Surveillance would help accomplish the goals by providing information on:

Creating a network of laboratories for diagnosis of viral hepatitis. 2. Monitor trends in incidence of and risk factors for disease.

Assess burden of disease 4. Identify infected persons requiring counseling and /or post exposure prophylaxis. 5. Identify and control outbreaks.

Methodology: Laboratory based targeted sousveillance in sentinel geographical regions/population. Clinical Case Definition: An acute illness with discrete onset of symptoms (e.g., fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, intermittent nausea, vomiting), and jaundice. (sourcewww.cdc.gov.in) NCDC will be the nodal agency for implementation of the project.

Results: HBV, HCV and HDV are transmitted through contaminated blood or blood components or through the use of contaminated needles and syringes. In several populations, a common route of transmission of HBV infection is from infected pregnant women to their infants around the time of delivery. In many people with HBV or HCV infection, no route of transmission can be identified. In addition, specific vaccines and/or passive immune prophylaxis (use of specific immunoglobulin products) are also useful in preventing transmission of some infections. and also HAV vaccine is the most effective method for specific pre-exposure prophylaxis. and two different vaccines based on inactivated cell culture are available. Both vaccines are highly antigenic, especially in adults, and induce protective antibody levels in more than 95% of recipients after the first dose of vaccine. Individuals at high risk of repeated exposure to HBV, such as personnel Health Care Anti-HBs titer should be evaluated one month after the third dose. An Anti-HBs titer of 10 IU/L (or 10 mIU/mL) is protective. After reaching this titer, there is no need for further booster doses.

Conclusion: Viral hepatitis is a systemic infection affecting predominantly the liver and causing its inflammation. It may be acute (recent infection, relatively rapid onset) or chronic. Viral hepatitis is caused by infection with one of the five known hepatotropic viruses, which are named as hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis D virus (HDV), and hepatitis E virus (HEV), respectively. These viruses are quite divergent in their structure, epidemiology, routes of transmission, incubation period, clinical presentations, natural history, diagnosis, and preventive and treatment options.

El quinquenio final del reinado de Carlos III en España fue, en lo que se refiere a política naval, un periodo de presión sobre Argel mediante bombardeos artilleros navales, y de negociación diplomática con Turquía y las regencias berberiscas (Argel, Trípoli y Túnez), para llegar a tratados de paz y comercio que impidiesen el corso y diesen otros beneficios. En cuanto a Argel, en 1785-1786 se consiguió un tratado con expectativa de un cierto comercio de cereal. Esta política y actividad se materializaron en expediciones anfibias, rescates de esclavos y prisioneros, y acciones logísticas desde el puerto de Cartagena de Levante?
La fragata de hélice Resolución

Published: January 2024

La fragata Resolución fue resultado del primer proyecto de reconstrucción de la Armada en el siglo XIX. Tras su entrega en 1862, se le encomendó la misión de mostrar el estandarte por las costas del Pacífico. En la primera etapa de su periplo fue buque insignia de una escuadra encargada de llevar a cabo una misión científica. Las circunstancias la hicieron protagonista en las hostilidades contra Perú y Chile, que tuvieron su punto culminante en el bombardeo de El Callao. El océano, el escorbuto y defectos de diseño en su timón estuvieron a punto de echarla a pique en el cabo de Hornos, a pesar de lo cual concluyó su misión, en Cartagena, el último día de 1866.
