Pemberdayaan masyarakat desa ini dalam rangka Program Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) Membangun Desa yang dilakukan untuk masyarakat Desa Sungai Batu Gantih, Kecamatan Gunung Kerinci, Kabupaten Kerinci, Provinsi Jambi. Berdasarkan hasil survei pendahuluan ke Desa Sungai Batu Gantih, pada umumnya masyarakat desa melakukan usaha ternaknya secara sambilan dengan kegiatan usaha tani tanaman pangan sebagai usaha utama. Pengetahuan masyarakat Desa Sungai Batu Gantih dalam hal budidaya ayam kampung masih rendah. Pemeliharaan ayam dilakukan secara ekstensif yang mengandalkan sisa makanan rumah tangga sebagai pakan sehingga berdampak pada rendahnya produktivitas dan terbatasnya populasi. Maka kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dan keterampilan masyarakat desa dalam beternak ayam melalui sosialisasi ayam Joper agar mampu meningkatkan produktivitas sehingga dapat meningkatkan penghasilan masyarakat di Desa Sungai Batu Gantih. Ayam Joper merupakan hasil persilangan ayam Joper jantan dan ayam ras betina dengan produksi telur yang cukup tinggi, serta telur dan dagingnya memiliki rasa yang khas. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan pada bulan September-Desember 2022. Metode kegiatan yang dilakukan adalah pemberdayaan masyarakat partisipatif yang meliputi penyuluhan, pelatihan, dan pendampingan. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pemberdayaan berjalan dengan baik dan mendapat respon positif dari masyarakat desa, hal ditunjukkan dengan persentase ayam Joper yang hidup hingga umur 4 minggu mencapai 90% dengan bobot badan berkisar antara 230-290 g/ekor.

A Scoping Review of Nurse-Led Medical-Surgical Knowledge Translation Interventions to Improve In-Hospital Clinical Practice in the WHO Afro Region
Authors: Haifete Anna N. , Chironda Geldine , Brysiewicz Petra
Published: May 2024

The process of placing research knowledge into action and thereby ensuring its dissemination is very important in healthcare currently. Although nurse-led knowledge translation interventions have become an important focus in the high-income countries, the extent of such interventions in the World Health Organization (WHO) Afro Region is not well established. This scoping review aimed to map the evidence of nurse-led knowledge translation interventions in the countries in the WHO Afro Region using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Scoping Review Methodology. A systematic electronic search of articles was carried out in selected electronic data bases using various search engines. All 688 eligible identified articles were imported into the Systematic Reviews Web App (Beta) Rayyan. The selection process included title and abstract screening, and full text article screening. A Prisma flow diagram detailing the procedure was developed. The review process resulted in 21 selected articles. The results showed minimal publications between 2013 and 2019 with a sudden increase in 2020 (n = 5) and 2021 (n = 4). The Eastern WHO Afro Region contributed 48% of the studies, followed by the Western WHO Afro Region with 43%. Ten countries were selected through the process of screening according to where nurse-led medical-surgical knowledge translation interventions were found. Nigeria contributed 33%, followed by Uganda with 19%. The scoping review concluded that studies be appraised for their ability to promote evidence-based knowledge, skills and behaviour in both rural and urban clinical settings. More of these studies need to be conducted in the WHO Afro Region. More focused systematic reviews should be conducted to sum up the best available research on these specific questions, supported by findings by clinical setting, type of intervention, and outcomes.
Exploring the Uncharted: Lived Experiences of Research Commons Librarians
Authors: Matatiele Refilwe
Published: May 2024

In this article, I build on previous research investigating the transformation of university libraries into Research Commons service delivery models. Conducted at three public universities in the Gauteng province of South Africa, the study explores the perspectives and challenges of Research Commons librarians in their daily roles. I used interviews in a phenomenological case study design with a qualitative approach. The research provided a comprehensive understanding of librarians’ experiences within varied Research Commons contexts. Although limited to three libraries, the findings underscore the importance of strategic planning, technological integration, and institutional support for the successful implementation of the Research Commons. In the study, I recommend that South African university libraries adopt user-centric, data-driven approaches and use effective change management to adapt to changing research, learning styles and student needs to succeed in these collaborative environments.

Ivo; Laila Mourad; Lysie Reis; Thaianna Valverde, em 5 de agosto, de 2023, na sede do Centro de Educação e Assistência Social – CEAS, com as mulheres da Gamboa. Encontro pensado como uma roda de conversa estruturada entre mulheres dos movimentos de luta por moradia na cidade de Salvador. Os depoimentos expressam a amplitude da questão do morar para essas mulheres, colocando em xeque o sentido mais direto e limitado que a palavra moradia carrega; as vivências nas lutas por moradia abarcam muito mais do que a “casa”; falar da moradia é falar de muito mais que “as quatro paredes e um teto.
“UMA JOGADA DE MESTRE”. ESTADO E POLICIAIS MILITARES NA PRODUÇÃO DO ESPAÇO DA SÉTIMA ETAPA DA REFORMA DO CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE SALVADOR
Authors: Montoya Uriarte Urpi
Published: May 2024

Tendo como espaço de estudo as ruas compreendidas entre a Praça da Sé, o Terreiro de Jesus, a Baixa dos Sapateiros e a Ladeira da Praça (área da 28), no Centro Histórico de Salvador, este artigo se debruça sobre a forma como convivem nele habitantes e usos aparentemente opostos: moradores antigos e novos, assalariados e informais, policiais e “traficantes”, “famílias” e usuários de crack, programas habitacionais e “invasões”. O ponto de vista que expomos ao longo do artigo é o de um habitante específico: os policiais militares que moram na área desde 2014, em 34 unidades. Entrevistamos 19 deles ao longo dos meses de maio e junho de 2022 e, a partir desse material, avaliamos que o convívio é possível, por um lado, mediante uma ordem instituída pelo Estado (que consiste em traçar fronteiras invisíveis, porém claras, entre os setores/atividades que vivem lado a lado) e, do outro, através das práticas dos habitantes que correspondem ao que Michel de Certeau, em A invenção do cotidiano, chamou de “artes de fazer” ou “jogos” próprios da cultura popular do nordeste brasileiro.
RUMORES SOBRE ESTUPROS E FURTOS EM FAVELAS DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Menezes Palloma
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo parte da ideia de quando acontecimentos transformações significativas nas formas de morar periféricas, indeterminações e incertezas já presentes na vida cotidiana de quem habita as “margens do Estado” intensificam-se ainda mais. Este processo de intensificação das indeterminações foi vivenciado por moradores de favelas do Rio de Janeiro quando eles se depararam com a implementação e os impactos das primeiras Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora há 15 anos. Neste artigo analiso novas inseguranças que surgiram em “tempos de paz” nessas favelas, focando especialmente na circulação de rumores de estupro e furtos no Morro Santa Marta e Cidade de Deus, onde realizei um longo trabalho etnográfico. Mostro como o aumento de crimes não letais em áreas com UPP, que inicialmente foi menosprezado pela polícia e pelo debate público, com o passar do tempo foi estatisticamente comprovado. Consequentemente, analiso como essa comprovação do aumento desses crimes não-letais passou a ser utilizado como subsídio para que moradores desses territórios elaborassem críticas a UPP nas favelas.
A PRINCESA, O BICHO E O DEMÔNIO NEGRO: RAZÃO E COLONIALIDADE NO “PROGRESSO” PARA FEIRA DE SANTANA
Authors: Corrêa Diego Carvalho , Silva Valter Zaqueu Santos da
Published: May 2024

Neste artigo examinados como ideais, práticas, ações políticas, saberes, violências, dentre outros, foram movimentados por sujeitos em Feira de Santana, constituindo contraposições entre modos de ver e viver negros e os modelos eurocêntricos e estadunidense no esforço de consolidação do “progresso” culminando na planificação totalizante e homogeneizante da cidade após o golpe civil/militar de 1964, com destaque para o governo do prefeito João Durval Carneiro (1967-1971). Empregamos o romance “O bicho que chegou a Feira” de Muniz Sodré para, através do imaginário narrado pelo autor, compreender conflitos sobre os projetos de cidade que estavam em disputa. Para a apreciação da História e Literatura, escrutinamos o romance por meio de amplo acervo de pesquisas de História de Feira de Santana a fim de identificar similaridades. Operacionalizamos alguns conceitos como branquitude, colonialidade, racismo estrutural, poder simbólico, dispositivo racial e outros, para problematizar e interpretar os longos processos de luta pela desafricanização da cidade acionado no constante conflito pelo controle do imaginário sobre Lucas da Feira e a negritude. Ao fim, concluímos e corroboramos que Muniz Sodré interpretou alegoricamente acontecimentos factuais compreendendo que Lucas era o mal negro a ser mitigado em oposição ao progresso, ciência, civilização e outros, representado por um Capelão Militar, O Bicho, com ações repressoras vinculado ao regime civil/militar e a antigos profissionais políticos conservadores, velhos mandões.
BAIRROS NEGROS: FORMAS DE MORAR, FORMAS DE ALUGAR
Authors: Jesus Tiago Souza de , Cunha Junior Henrique
Published: May 2024

Este texto é um fragmento de uma dissertação de mestrado defendida em 2023 no Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação. Envereda pelos caminhos da afrodescendência, do patrimônio cultural negro, das formas de morar e de alugar moradias na Comunidade Rosalina, um bairro negro que surgiu no início da década de 1990, no bairro Parque dois irmãos, na cidade de Fortaleza-CE. O “fenômeno” de seu surgimento pode ser explicado pelo déficit imobiliário causado pela especulação ao longo da citada década. As políticas capitalistas e racistas  deste período sublinham às populações negras da cidade de Fortaleza a ocupação de terrenos como única possibilidade de conquista da moradia. Neste sentido, ocupa-se um território que nele será impresso uma forma de morar. Para esta população, a moradia é mais que um lugar em que a vida privada acontece, é um patrimônio. O patrimônio cultural negro abrange aspectos materiais e imateriais que são carregados de valores atribuídos pela própria população afrodescendente à sua memória, história e cultura. O objetivo foi compreender a forma de alugar e a forma de morar existente no bairro, destacando elementos da história e da cultura negra, as formas de vida, organização e sociabilidades no cotidiano. Como resultado, fica evidente as dinâmicas sociais e experiências cotidianas dentro de um contexto marcado pelo racismo antinegro e pela segregação espacial e social e que as formas de morar e de alugar na Rosalina apresentam aspectos que tornam a experiência afrodescendente específica, de modo que o morar e o alugar é um ato coletivo.

Objetivo: Investigar como se dá o processo de acesso dos povos indígenas ao meio acadêmico, bem como os fatores determinantes para a sua permanência até o final da graduação. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa nas bases do Portal de Periódicos CAPES, Google Acadêmico, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), realizada no período entre dezembro de 2023 à janeiro de 2024. Foram utilizadas as seguintes palavras passe: "acesso às universidades" AND indígenas AND Brasil. Resultados: A amostra final foi composta por 08 (oito) artigos, os quais apontaram que os principais fatores que influenciam na falta acesso e permanência está associada as desigualdades socioeconômicas, falta de apoio institucional e estrutural aos estudantes. Outros fatores são a falta de iniciativas de âmbito nacional a respeito da criação de programas que incentivem a permanência desses povos nas universidades. Considerações finais: Os estudos evidenciam que é de suma importância a criação de políticas de ações afirmativas, bolsas e programas voltados a promoção de acesso e permanência dos povos indígenas, e revela o impacto na construção de um sistema educacional mais compromissado com a equidade, justiça social e preservação da cultura de maneira eficaz a superar as barreiras históricas enfrentadas pelos povos originários.

Authors: Nair Manjusha , Thankamony Priyakumari , Rajeswari Binitha , Guruprasad C. S. , Prasanth V. R. , Prasanth C. V. , Parukkutty Kusumakumary
Published: May 2024

Objectives:

The burden of advanced and metastatic cancer is high among children in developing countries, and palliative care (PC) services for children are sparsely available and poorly accessed. To estimate the burden of PC requirements in children with metastatic neuroblastoma (NB), and to evaluate the PC services offered.

Materials and Methods:

Retrospective analysis of case records of children 1–14 years diagnosed with metastatic NB from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2017.

Results:

One hundred and nineteen patients with metastatic NB were included, of which 87 patients received PC consultation. Early PC referral occurred only in 13 patients (14.9%), and pain was the most prominent symptom. Shifting of care from oncology to PC occurred at disease relapse in 58 patients (66.6%) and at end-of-life in 16 patients (18.3%). Nausea/vomiting, constipation and abdominal distension were the most common symptoms during end-of-life. Seventy-one patients (85%) died of disease, median time to death being 9 months from diagnosis and 4 months from relapse. The mean time from initiation of PC to death was 4.2 months.

Conclusion:

Timely integration of PC and shared care incorporating the oncology team, PC team and local paediatricians can ease out transition in care, ensure a continuum of care and improve the quality of treatment delivered to children with metastatic cancer.
Urban transformation of demilitarized cities: the example of Metz-Métropole
Authors: MATHIS Denis , HECKER Anne , MATHIS Anne , CHIFFRE Emmanuel
Published: May 2024

En Europe, la professionnalisation des armées a entraîné la démilitarisation de nombreux espaces urbains. Avec la réduction et le redéploiement des forces armées, les métropoles militaires ont dû renoncer au modèle de la ville de garnison et recycler l’héritage militaire aliéné, ce dernier étant à la fois accepté, contraint et/ou subi. Ainsi, pour la ville de Metz (France), la démilitarisation a laissé en héritage d’importantes structures témoins de l’hyper-militarisation de la ville. La rétrocession des infrastructures militaires à la ville a permis de construire des dynamiques patrimoniales et urbanistiques. En cela il s’agit d’une transformation et d’une transition. Elles sont les produits d’une coévolution entre une gouvernance institutionnelle et multiscalaire et une appropriation privée. Cette association s’était traduite par un projet inabouti de classement UNESCO destinée à faciliter la gestion des héritages du complexe militaro-urbain dans un contexte de décroissance urbaine. In Europe, the professionalization of armies has led to the demilitarization of many urban spaces. With the reduction and redeployment of the armed forces, military metropolises have had to abandon the garrison city model and recycle the alienated military legacy, the latter being at the same time accepted, coerced and/or suffered. Thus, for the city of Metz (France), demilitarization has left a legacy of important structures that bear witness to the hyper-militarization of the city. The retrocession of military infrastructure to the city has made it possible to build heritage and urban planning dynamics. In this sense, it is a question of transformation and transition. They are the products of a co-evolution between institutional and multiscalar governance and private ownership. This association resulted in a UNESCO classification project designed to facilitate the management of the legacies of the military-urban complex in a context of urban shrinking.
Cities in Algeria, between growing needs for urbanizable land and constraints of spatial development. Case of Beni Saf, a small coastal town in the Tellian Atlas of western Algeria
Authors: MERABET Yamina , TAHRAOUI Fatima
Published: May 2024

Les villes algériennes toutes strates confondues ont besoin de foncier urbanisable mais des contraintes multiformes peuvent inhiber leur excroissance telles la vulnérabilité du site, la législation inhérente au (littoral, terres agricoles et zones forestières) et la propriété privée du sol. Le cas de la petite ville de Béni Saf objet de cet article dans l’Atlas Tellien de l’ouest algérien pâtit de l’ensemble de ces dernières. Comment s’est-elle développée à partir d’un camp de mineurs pendant la période coloniale et comment est préconisée sa sortie de l’impasse du manque de terrains urbanisables, quel en est l’efficience : telles sont les questions que nous tentons d’élucider. À ce propos, le recours a été fait à l’histoire urbaine de cette ville, aux différents plans d’aménagement et d’urbanisme post indépendance, à des investigations au niveau des institutions étatiques locales dont la DUAC, l’ONS et à d’autres in situ.
The cross-border trade informal activity networks BETWEEN ALGERIA AND TUNISIA
Authors: DIAB Rida , GHODBANI Tarik
Published: May 2024

Cet article vise, à travers une approche spatiale et socio-économique, à mettre en évidence les pratiques des réseaux commerciaux informels transfrontaliers algéro-tunisiens à travers l’exemple de Tébessa. L’objectif de notre travail est de comprendre les caractéristiques sociales et économiques des acteurs de ce commerce, leurs stratégies et leurs adaptations au sein d’une dynamique spatiale complexe. Pour atteindre cet objectif, un travail sur le terrain a été fait, basé sur le triptyque acteurs-pratiques-espace. Dans une première étape, nous avons collecté des données sur l’aspect socioprofessionnel des praticiens, leurs pratiques et la dynamique spatiale des activités qu’ils exercent. Ensuite, les données ont été traitées et analysées à l’aide d’outils d’infographie. Des indicateurs clés comme les flux de marchandises depuis les marchés sources en Algérie, leurs trajectoires et les étapes multiples traversées vers des points de vente en Tunisie représenteront des thèmes privilégiés de notre travail. Ainsi des formes d’adaptations multiples ont été identifiées face aux restrictions douanières appliquées sur le passage de la marchandise. La catégorie socioprofessionnelle exerçant cette activité fait bien la distinction entre commerce de marchandises légitimes et d’autres types de commerce criminel. Ils s’inscrivent ainsi dans une démarche de rentabilité sûre et rapide à travers la construction de réseaux de marchés fiables et flexibles cadrés par des compromis négociés.
NORTHERN CAMEROONIAN ROAD EXCHANGE CORRIDORS AND STRUCTURING OF CROSSED TERRITORIES
Authors: BAMELA Hyacinthe ATANGANA
Published: May 2024

La construction des corridors nords camerounais a permis de fluidifier les échanges matériels et les mobilités en Afrique Centrale. Concomitamment, ces investissements ont contribué à aménager les territoires. Cependant, ces réseaux alimentent un « effet tunnel » au détriment des économies locales. Cette recherche ambitionne de montrer que si ces corridors routiers ont contribué à la fluidité des échanges, les efforts ont surtout porté sur l’ouverture des pays enclavés tels que le Tchad et la RCA. La démarche est empirique, et porte principalement sur les calculs d’indices qualitatifs et quantitatifs du modèle de distribution du trafic généré par les routes étudiées, l’exploitation des bases de données institutionnelles et des enquêtes biographiques auprès d’acteurs clefs. Il ressort que ces corridors priorisent une mobilité transversale au détriment de la dynamique économique des régions traversées, avec comme conséquence une faible représentation de la mobilité locale.
Sulfonate group improves the solubility and electrocatalytic performance of Ru-based bda- and pda-type water oxidation catalysts under neutral conditions
Authors: Kerkhof Jake T. , Breyer Colton J. , Smith Diane K. , Mao Yuezhi , Grotjahn Douglas B.
Published: May 2024

Four ruthenium water oxidation catalysts that bear carboxylate and sulfonate groups in the active site have been synthesized and analyzed for their catalytic activity. The developed catalysts are modified from highly active species that traditionally have two carboxylate groups in the active site and are used to probe the effects of sulfonate substitution as well as the effects of other structural changes of the catalyst. The sulfonate-containing catalysts show higher electrochemical activity in pH 7 phosphate buffer with 3-5 times larger catalytic current, improved durability with sacrificial oxidant, and increased solubility compared to their dicarboxylate counterparts. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the sulfonate group provides more favorable geometry for water nucleophilic attack, of which is both the most energetically favorable mechanism calculated and experimentally predicted mechanism under electrochemical conditions. Further experimental studies have been performed to show that under certain conditions catalysts can perform well electrochemically under pH conditions as low as 1.6 and that various structural components can greatly change solubility and catalytic operation.
Challenges of Biological Complexity in the Study of Nanotoxicology
Authors: Northwick Andrew , Carlson Erin
Published: May 2024

The scale of nanoparticle use in consumer goods has grown exponentially over several decades owing to the unique properties of materials in this size range. At the same time, well-defined end of life cycle disposal strategies have not been developed for most materials, meaning that we are approaching the potential for a new ecological disaster with the release of millions of metric tons into the waste stream. The field of nanotoxicology has also expanded rapidly to investigate these potential hazards and has identified multiple mechanisms of toxicity to all tropes of life. While this research has been insightful, there are stipulations on how applicable many of these results are to real world applications. One of the major challenges in this research is that nanoparticles are immediately transformed when introduced into an environment. For example, biomolecules, such as proteins, rapidly coat nanoparticles with a shell, called a corona, that can modulate the toxicity of the core materials or aid the internalization into cells. This additional layer of complexity and the non-covalent nature of the corona has made it difficult to identify consistent trends in the study of nanotoxicity using traditional methods. In this perspective, we will highlight the limitations with current techniques, discuss advances that have been made to aid in these studies, and outline remaining challenges.
Deoxygenative Geminal Silylboration of Amides Using Silylboronates: Synthesis and Use of α-Boryl-α-Silylalkylamines
Authors: Watanabe Koh , Nagao Kazunori , Ohmiya Hirohisa
Published: May 2024

α-Silylalkylamines and a-borylalkylamines are versatile synthetic intermediates and attractive scaffolds found in pharmaceutical drugs and agrochemicals. Despite great progress on synthetic methods for preparation of α-silylalkylamines or a- borylalkylamines, there are no general strategies for preparation of α- boryl-α-silylalkylamines and the reactivity has not been explored. Here we report deoxygenative geminal silylboration of amides using silylboronates in the presence of alkoxide base catalyst, producing a- boryl-a-silylalkylamines. The silicon and boron groups in α-boryl-α-silylalkylamines are found to be utilized to chemoselective transformations, such as protonation and alkylation. This protocol serves various α-silylalkylamines and α-borylalkylamines from readily available amides.
Reconciling Experiment with Quantum Chemical Calculations: Electron Iso-Density Surfaces Represent Atomic and Molecular Surfaces
Authors: Alibakhshi Amin , Schäfer Lars V.
Published: May 2024

The surface area of atoms and molecules plays a crucial role in shaping many physiochemical properties of materials. Despite its fundamental importance, precisely defining atomic and molecular surfaces has long been a puzzle. Among the available definitions, a straightforward and elegant approach by Bader describes a molecular surface as an iso-density surface beyond which electron density drops below a certain cut-off. However, so far neither this theory nor a decisive value for the density cut-off have been amenable to experimental verification due to the limitations of conventional experimental methods. In the present study, we employ a state-of-the-art experimental method based on the recently developed concept of thermodynamically effective (TE) surfaces to tackle this longstanding problem. By studying a set of 104 molecules, a close to perfect agreement between quantum chemical evaluations of iso-density surfaces for a cut-off density of 0.0016 a.u. and experimental results obtained via thermodynamic phase change data is demonstrated, with a mean unsigned percentage deviation of 1.6% and a correlation coefficient of 0.995. Accordingly, we suggest the iso-density surface contoured at an electron density value of 0.0016 a.u. as a representation of the surface of atoms and molecules.

“Must the Police Refuse to Look?”
Authors: Diab Robert
Published: May 2024

Courts in Canada are dealing more frequently with an old problem in a new guise: civilians bringing police digital evidence that engages a suspect’s privacy interest (text messages, email). Do police carry out a seizure when they receive it or a search when they proceed to review it, even briefly? Should police ‘refuse to look’ before obtaining a warrant or other authorization? If so, why? What measure of protection would calling this a search or seizure under section 8 of the Charter afford Canadians? The Supreme Court of Canada has yet to decide these issues directly, and trial, appeal courts, and commentators have offered widely diverging responses to the questions they raise. In doing so, courts and commentators alike have lost sight of the Supreme Court’s principled approach to what constitutes a search or seizure and when it will be reasonable. Applying this approach in R v Marakah, McLachlin CJ in obiter held that receiving a text exchange from a third party would require police to obtain a warrant before reading it, but she provided no rationale. This article articulates the Court’s principled approach and shows why diverging approaches among recent courts and commentators are not compelling. More crucially, given how central digital communication has become to all of us, the article sets out a rationale for insisting on a warrant before police review texts or photos, and what is at stake in failing to provide this vital safeguard.
Semantics of the Midwife in Maternity Rites Traditional Culture of the Buryats
Authors:   East-Siberian State Institute of Culture, Nikolaeva D. A.
Published: May 2024

The study of maternity rituals in the traditional culture of the Buryats makes it possible to identify preserved and actively functioning archaic traces of the mother cult. Maternity rituals are associated with a developed complex of initiation rituals, when a large-scale change of spatial, temporal and cultural paradigms occurs for a newborn. This process takes place under the guidance of a midwife, who is the figurative embodiment of the cult of the Mother ancestor. According to mythological and ritual views, from the first moments of the birth of a child, thanks to the midwife, the sphere of the iconic is actualized when the newborn undergoes the processes of ritual transformation necessary for his socialization and integration into society. The analysis of the structure of maternity rituals revealed the semantic connection of the midwife with the archaic image of the Mother ancestor. This can be seen, firstly, in the special requirements – “to be a prosperous woman”. These include age, health, but most importantly, “offspring without loss”. Secondly, the concept of a midwife as a “utoodai” (grandmother) made it possible to identify the motive of the ancestry of the Mother Earth in the image of a “gray-haired old woman”, which is simultaneously identified with the image of a hoofed animal “possessing an udder”. Such a woman, with qualities and linguistic definitions corresponding to the characteristics of the maternal cult (“Mother Earth”, “Mother Beast”), conducted, firstly, the ceremony of transferring a newborn from another world to this one, fixing it as a living person, and secondly, constructing sexual identification, launched a male coding program or female stereotypes of behavior, introducing a newborn into the members of the generic society and the corresponding gender and age group. The use of modern research methods allowed us to substantiate the ancient traces of the mother cult preserved in the traditional Buryat society, associated with the vital activity of society, which was a key basis in the formation of such vital elements as external structures, linguistic definition, and internal sacred content.
Digital Literacy and Moral Values in the Digital Environments: Secondary Students' Perceptions
Authors: Altınsoy Ertan , Boyraz Serkan
Published: May 2024

There is an inevitable trend that directs not only social but also educational practices into digital world, and this trend should be examined in detail to recognize its effects on students. Keeping in mind this situation, this research examines secondary school students’ perceptions of moral values in the digital environments (MVDE) and digital literacy (DL) through various variables. The research employs quantitative method and correlational survey design by reaching a total of 250 participants. The results show that participants’ perceptions of DL are mostly high while their perception of MVDE are mostly at intermediate level. Gender is not a source of significant difference in terms of either DL or MVDE. While grade is not a variable effecting DL, it has been found out that lower grades have statistically significant higher values in terms of MVDE. Those who use social media have significantly higher DL scores while the difference in MVDE is not significant in terms of the same variable. Online gaming, just like gender, is not a source of significant difference in terms of both DL and MVDE. Daily online time is not related to a significant difference in DL; however, those who are online more than three hours daily have significantly lower MVDE than those with less amount of online time. Finally, MVDE and DL are positively correlated at a moderate level and MVDE explains 19,6% of DL according to the results. To conclude, it should be encouraged for the citizens of a digital world to have higher MVDE as it would help them to be “better” in such a world, just like the moral values in real life that turns people into more desirable acquaintances.
A Theory of Collective Virtue
Authors: Baddorf Matthew , McKay Noah
Published: May 2024

We introduce Imitationism, a new theory of collective virtue—that is, of virtues and vices held by collectives such as corporations and governments. This theory has the advantage of clearly explaining how collectives can have virtues in robustly nonreductive ways without appealing to group minds. We then use this theory to elucidate some examples of collective virtue and respond to some objections.
Therapeutic based wearable postural control system for low back pain

Published: May 2024

The treatment of low back pain usually includes exercise, analgesics, prostheses, and, in severe cases, surgery. Early treatments based on postural control are essential to prevent low back pain and mitigate permanent damage. This paper presents a wearable device with an estimated cost below $100 that uses inertial units with triaxial accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to measure the orientation of three sections of the spine. The device integrates the absolute and relative orientations from the sensors to estimate the posture of the back in real-time and uses a fuzzy system to control a vibration unit that indicates to the user when to correct the posture of the back. This paper validated the device in controlled conditions, obtaining an rms deviation ≤1.24, and conducted a preliminary clinical pilot study with patients afflicted by lumbar hyperlordosis. This paper observed improved postural control and a reduction of low back pain in all cases. These results show the device's promising potential to reduce pain, improve postural therapies, and raise postural awareness in patients with low back pain.
Increasing Ambient GABA Levels in the Hippocampus to Improve Cognition in a Mouse Model of Schizophrenia: A Research Protocol
Authors: Miliukov Ivan
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder characterized by cognitive, positive, and negative symptoms, with cognitive impairments significantly affecting learning, memory, and executive functions. The hippocampus, particularly the CA1 region, is a critical area of interest due to its role in learning and memory and its dysfunction in schizophrenia. This protocol explores the effects of increasing ambient Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) levels in the CA1 region on cognitive functions in a Methylazoxymethanol Acetate (MAM) model of schizophrenia. Methods: Utilizing a two-by-two factorial design, male Sprague-Dawley rats undergo either a sham or MAM treatment, followed by a control or GABA modulation intervention. The study will employ GABA transporter inhibitor Tiagabine to increase ambient GABA levels and assess its impact on neuronal excitability and cognitive function. Behavioural assessments will include the Morris water maze and the Attentional set-shifting test to evaluate spatial memory and cognitive flexibility. Histological examinations and electrophysiological measurements will provide insights into structural and functional changes in the hippocampus. Results: The results are expected to demonstrate neurodevelopmental disruptions in MAM-treated offspring and improvements in cognitive performance following GABA modulation. Enhanced spatial memory and cognitive flexibility are anticipated in MAM-treated rats with GABA modulation, as evidenced by performance in the Morris water maze and Attentional set-shifting test. Electrophysiological recordings are likely to show increased tonic inhibition in the CA1 region. Discussion: This study aims to extend the understanding of tonic inhibition in schizophrenia treatment. By focusing on ambient GABA modulation, the research could offer novel insights into therapeutic strategies for schizophrenia, especially in enhancing cognitive functions. However, the translational applicability of intracerebral administration of uptake inhibitors like Tiagabine poses a significant challenge, highlighting the need for future research in more clinically viable methods of GABA modulation. Conclusion: This study was designed to contribute to schizophrenia research, particularly in understanding cognitive impairments and developing potential therapeutic strategies targeting the GABAergic system. The proposed findings could pave the way for novel treatments, improving the quality of life for individuals with schizophrenia.
