Authors: Okajima Mayu , Nakagawa Hina , Sugiyama Mutsumi
Published: July 2023

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to examine the possibility of directly sensing plant stress under temperature environment changes. Changes in the extracellular and intracellular fluid resistances (Ro and Ri, respectively) were affected by changes in the cell phenomena under the temperature environment because Ro and Ri reflect the ionic fluctuations caused by the activation of cell membranes and change in solute viscosity, respectively, under the changing environment temperature. Examination of the effects of temperature environment change on plant cells via EIS measurements and theoretical calculations using the Okajima model can be used for in situ monitoring.

Authors: Munabari Fahlesa , Hamdani Hamdani
Published: July 2023

Abstrak :Artikel ini bertujuan menganalisis kepentingan nasional dan kebijakan luar negeri Amerika Serikat di bawah kepemimpinan Presiden Donald J. Trump terkait pemindahan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat di Israel dari Tel-Aviv ke Yerusalem pada 6 Desember 2017. Relokasi Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat telah ditetapkan dalam Undang-Undang Kedutaan Yerusalem yang disetujui oleh kongres Amerika Serikat ke-104 pada tahun 1995 pada masa pemerintahan Presiden Bill Clinton. Namun, selama beberapa dekade pelaksanaan undang-undang tersebut tidak terealisasi hingga tahun 2016. Selanjutnya undang-undang tersebut direalisasikan pada masa pemerintahan Presiden Donald J. Trump yang didukung oleh anggota Kongres ke-115 pada tahun 2017. Menggunakan kerangka teori politik luar negeri dan kepentingan nasional, artikel ini berargumen bahwa keputusan pemindahan Kedutaan Besar Amerika Serikat dari Tel Aviv ke Yerusalem disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti pengaruh peran lobi Israel yang sangat mempengaruhi arah kebijakan luar negeri AS khususnya terkait Israel, karakteristik konservatif Partai Republik, kelompok Kristen Evangelis dan Zionis yang mendukung kepentingan Israel, dan hubungan bilateral khusus antara Israel dan Amerika Serikat.
 
Abstract: This article is aimed at analyzing the national interests and foreign policy of the United States under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump regarding the relocation of the United States Embassy in Israel from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem on December 6, 2017. The relocation of the United States Embassy had been stipulated in the Jerusalem Embassy Act approved by the 104th United States congress in 1995 during the administration of President Bill Clinton. However, for several decades the implementation of the law was not realized until 2016. Furthermore, the law was realized during the administration of President Donald J. Trump who was supported by members of the 115th Congress in 2017. Using the theoretical framework of foreign policy and national interest, this article argues that the decision to relocate the United States Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was due to some factors such as the influential role of the Israeli lobby, which greatly influences the direction of US foreign policy especially with regard to Israel, the conservative characteristics of the Republic Party, the Evangelical and Zionist Christian groups, which support Israeli’s interests, and the special bilateral relations between Israel and the United States.

Published: July 2023

The study examined the effect of employees’ welfare on the organizational effectiveness in Bowen University Teaching Hospital, Ogbomosho (BUTH), Nigeria. Using the survey method, 384 staff members of Bowen University Teaching Hospital (BUTH), Ogbomosho were sampled to test three hypotheses. The findings of the study showed that the available welfare programmes (job-related injuries and illness prevention facilities; subsidized medical facilities for employee’s family members; training and development) in BUTH had a significant impact on employees’ performance (R2=.642, F= 16.413, P<.05). It was further established that there was a positive and significant relationship between corporate performance and economic welfare scheme (r = .209, p<.05), recreational welfare services and corporate performance (r = .169, p<.05), while no significant relationship was found between corporate performance and facilitative welfare scheme (r = .070, p>.05) of the hospital. The findings of the study indicated employees’ lack of trust in the BUTH’s welfare programmes (β=.318, t= 5.287, p<.05), tedious procedures in applying for the use of welfares’ facilities (β=.270, t= 4.283, p<.05), bad leadership (β=.238, t= 4.136, p<.05), and poor implementation of welfare programmes (β=.122, t= 2.286, p<.05) as the major factors affecting the effectiveness of employees’ welfare programmes in BUTH. The study thus recommended improvement of workers’ working conditions and general welfare in order to elicit employees’ job satisfaction and motivation for increased work performance in the hospital

Deep Learning Methods for Single Camera Based Clinical In-bed Movement Action Recognition
Authors: Karacsony Tamas , Jeni Laszlo A. , De La Torre Frade Fernando , Cunha João Paulo Silva
Published: July 2023

Many clinical applications involve in-bed patient activity monitoring, from intensive care and neuro-critical infirmary, to semiology-based epileptic seizure diagnosis support or sleep monitoring at home, which require accurate recognition of in-bed movement actions from video streams.

The major challenges of clinical application arise from the domain gap between common in-the-lab and clinical scenery (e.g. viewpoint, occlusions, out-of-domain actions), the requirement of minimally intrusive monitoring to already existing clinical practices (e.g. non-contact monitoring), and the significantly limited amount of labeled clinical action data available.

Focusing on one of the most demanding in-bed clinical scenarios - semiology-based epileptic seizure classification – this review explores the challenges of video-based clinical in-bed monitoring, reviews video-based action recognition trends, monocular 3D MoCap, and semiology-based automated seizure classification approaches. Moreover, provides a guideline to take full advantage of transfer learning for in-bed action recognition for quantified, evidence-based clinical diagnosis support.

The review suggests that an approach based on 3D MoCap and skeleton-based action recognition, strongly relying on transfer learning, could be advantageous for these clinical in-bed action recognition problems. However, these still face several challenges, such as spatio-temporal stability, occlusion handling, and robustness before realizing the full potential of this technology for routine clinical usage.

This paper provides a new framework of cognitive radio-based integrated terrestrial non-terrestrial networks (ITNTNs) involving IRS. The objective is to maximize the achievable sum rate of the secondary network by simultaneously optimizing the transmission power, user association, phase shift design of IRS and 2D placement of UAVs while controlling the co-channel interference temperature to the primary network. The problem is formulated as non-convex/non-linear due to interference and decision variables which makes it NP-hard and intractable. To reduce the complexity and make the problem tractable, we first decouple it into subproblems and iteratively obtain an efficient solution. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed optimization scheme converges within a few iterations and achieves high sum rate than the benchmark suboptimal schemes.

Deconstruction in Dostoevsky’s Novels: Ideas, Plans, Preparatory Materials, Main Text

This article examines the role of deconstruction in Dostoevsky’s novels as a technique for bringing the ideological and psychological components of images into collision. These images are imbued with complex paradoxical meaning, revealing anthropological and philosophical issues in the writer’s work. Crime and Punishment advances the theme of a need for crime in order to achieve the moral rebirth of the hero. Moving forward on this path, the novel dismantles both inner and outer limits in the space of the hero. In The Idiot, Dostoevsky links passionate and antagonistic motifs to the Christian idea, thereby deconstructing boththe entire ethical concept of Myškin and the narrative associated with it. In The Adolescent the main character is subjected to destructive motivational interventions.
Ascetism and Incontinence and Dostoevsky’s Gift of Tears
Authors: Garstka Christoph
Published: July 2023

In Dostoevsky’s binary poetics, an opposition can be drawn between two fundamental stances – asceticism and incontinence. Ascetics adhere to an ethos of self-restraint in response to the desires of the flesh. Incontinents act spontaneously to gratify their desires. The current study draws an analogy between the behavior pattern of Dostoevsky’s self-denying intellectual heroes and that of exiled castrate (skoptsy) communities. Dostoevsky’s ascetics represent a cerebral mindset attracted to visions of social utopia; their intellectualizing detaches them from the life of the body and thus weirdly parallels the strictures of the skoptsy. An encounter between an ascetic and a prostitute serves as a central plot moment in works such as Crime and Punishment and Notes from Underground.

Dostoevsky’s Dialectic: The Name of the Father and the Saving Power of Childhood

The artistic experience of Dostoevsky’s novels combines two rather heterogeneous hermeneutic strategies – the analysis of the unconscious and of existential utopia. In the first case, Dostoevsky problematizes the completeness of the symbolic order of culture as such through the thematization of the figure and name of the Father. From the perspective of the second strategy, Dostoevsky creates his own utopia of a symbolic order, with the eternal substance of people’s life capable of infinite renewal in the child’s soul in the role of the great Other. His novels reveal what can be called the creative core of culture. The murder of Fyodor Karamazov is an archetypal event, a sacrifice of the Body of the Father for the sake of the NAME of the dead Father, it initiates a paradigmatic process in the Symbolic.
«Мы смеялись, словно от щекотки по сердцу». Мутная исповедь у Достоевского
Authors: Vojvodić Jasmina
Published: July 2023

“We laughed like from a tickle on the heart.” Dostoevsky’s Muddy Confession When considering laughter in Dostoevsky, one immediately thinks of the long “tirade” in The Adolescent, which proposes a kind of physiology of laughter, and its unpredictable effects on the perception of those who witness it. Laughter and caustic humor color even the most intimate confessions and can serve to partially mask the difficult action of revealing oneself before others. Modernity itself is the era of self-exhibition, of a sort of widespread confession. And yet, the laughter of modernity has lost the essence of joy. Joy is a function of that almost impossible sincerity that unveils the essence of man. The grimace of the fool, who shamelessly denudes himself before others in confession, becomes a sign of the isolation of the modern self and the end of the utopia of sincerity pursued by Rousseau.

“Both violin and contrabass”: The Figure of Paradox and the Poetics of Bewilderment in the Artistic Thinking of Pirandello and Dostoevsky

Pirandello and Dostoevsky are deeply linked at thematic, ideological and textual levels. In 1908, Pirandello published the treatise Humorism, in which he elaborated an original theory of humor and substantiated a worldview that is quite close to the type of artistic consciousness inherent in Dostoevsky’s work, and is genetically related to it. The poetics of paradox, in which every mental and sensual experience is tested by its “opposite”, encourages the reader to “hang” between two seemingly mutually exclusive principles while opening up the possibility of a new, more complex understanding of reality and of the Other. This article presents aspects of Pirandello’s theory of humor in a new light, revealing their potential for application to the analysis of Dostoevsky’s work.
“Helicopter Parenting” and Antisocial Behavior: The Role of Family Education
Authors: Bagnato Karin
Published: July 2023

The expression “helicopter parent” indicates those parents who are excessively present in their children’s lives, who implement a form of excessive overprotection, and who are guided by a high sense of responsibility that is expressed in an attempt to remove all obstacles and anticipated threats that could interfere with the well-being of the offspring. “Helicopter parenting” can lead to serious negative effects on the subject’s character in the long term. It can also favour the development of psychological disorders, as well as the manifestation of outbursts of uncontrolled anger, oppositionality, and, in the most serious cases, the committing of antisocial behaviors, characterised by attitudes of contempt, disregard, and the violation of other people’s rights. The family can play an important role in the prevention of antisocial behavior and in the promotion of socially shared and constructive conduct.
Benessere e salute sociale delle famiglie vulnerabili nella fase post-pandemica: spunti e riflessioni per la formazione degli educatori 0-6 da una ricerca in Lombardia
Authors: Bove Chiara , Mantovani Susanna
Published: July 2023

In this paper, starting from some data that emerged from a research on the daily life of children and families during the Covid-19 pandemic (Mantovani et al., 2021; Picca et al., 2021), we open a reflection on the need to rethink the professional profile of 0-6 educators in an interdisciplinary sense to make the preventive and supportive action of fragile families more incisive. EU literature and documents have highlighted the pedagogical potential of multidisciplinary teams with respect to taking care of vulnerable families, underlining how interdisciplinary action increases the probability of intercepting signs of unease in an holistic and systemic way (Milani et al., 2015), avoiding the fragmentation of the support intervention, acting on resources and counteracting the spiral of disadvantage. The thesis here argued is that 0-6 educators can play a crucial role in this perspective, acting as territorial “sentinels” or “guarantors” of well-being by monitoring the social health conditions of families, but they must be trained to build bridges and weaving networks in an intersectional and multidisciplinary work perspective. A work at a micro level, starting from the ECE levels, which over time can trigger virtuous networks of collaboration to contrast the vulnerability of families at the meso- and macro- system level.
Parenting in the South Seas. Educational Skills in Remote Archipelagos of French Polynesia
Authors: Ailincai Rodica , Alì Maurizio , Paia Mirose , Guy Emilie , Wong Déana
Published: July 2023

The paper presents the results of an exploratory research on parental practices and attitudes in three peripheral archipelagos of French Polynesia: the Marquesas, the Australs, and the Tuamotus Islands. Its aim was to identify parenting typologies in isolated contexts using the Parenting Skills Evaluation Scale (Échelle des Compétences Éducatives Parentales, ECEP) with 120 parents living in remote islands. The data analysis indicates that families living in such isolated contexts are in a rather vulnerable situation in relation to schooling. Parental attitude is in most cases normative, attributing a significant importance to school success, but domestic practices appear mostly liberal, characterized by unsupervised autonomy combined with moments of strictness, as observed in other postcolonial and marginalized contexts. Finally, the article discusses the efficacy of the ECEP as a valid measurement tool in family studies, confirming its effectiveness.
Favorire l’inclusione sociale delle bambine e dei bambini e dei loro genitori. L’esperienza di “Ali per il futuro” in Toscana

At present, many children live or risk to live a condition of educational poverty and, therefore, they do not enjoyappropriate opportunities for growth, education, and instruction. In order to respond to this problem, some significant actions are promoted in Italy, such as the one realized by “Ali per il Futuro”: an experimental Project to fight educational poverty that is making a concrete contribution to the social inclusion of children and their parents in some Italian Regions: namely, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Puglia, and Valle d’Aosta. The paper aims to analyze the experience of “Ali per il Futuro”, in particular in Tuscany, illustrating and reflecting about the role that “Arca” Cooperativa Sociale, one of the Project partners, has played in the inclusion, accompaniment and support of the families involved. From this experience, it emerges how the personalization of a family Project, the interdisciplinary approach between different professionalisms, the strong connection to the territorial network and the presence of educational services able to offer diversified and flexible responses represent a possible model of intervention and a good practice in the fight against educational poverty and in the social inclusion of families.
Benessere, resilienza e prosocialità: il loro intreccio in alcune trame familiari

Published: July 2023

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic emergency, the world of education and training quickly came to the family’s side, designing and implementing new methods of teaching/learning/evaluation and educational support, including at a distance. Nevertheless, statistics reveal a worrying increase in the level of discomfort, incomprehension and frustration experienced in family relationships at the time of Covid. These critical issues have prompted the international pedagogical community to intensify theoretical and practical research on the family, creating new spaces for reflection and comparison of a multidisciplinary nature, to address the current historical moment. The aim of scholars is not limited to a critical reading of what is happening in family relationships and the effects that the pandemic is producing now and will produce in the future, but also aims to understand the deep reasons, hidden in the folds of existence, that can make some families particularly vulnerable compared to others. If, in fact, for some types of families and parental figures the health crisis seems to have had and still has particularly harsh and disorientating consequences, such as to overwhelm the intra-family relations that form and sustain the fabric of our society, for others the same has not been true. Alongside vulnerable families, there are, in fact, some positive family situations, which seem to be resisting the pandemic crisis and which do not show particularly obvious signs of collapse and/or implosion. Faced with this lack of homogeneity in their experiences, the question arises: what can affect the resilience and well-being of families, given the same socio-cultural and economic conditions, in crises such as the present one? To answer this question, we conducted a qualitative and quantitative exploration of 156 families on four continents – Europe, America, Asia and Africa – between 2020 and 2021. This paper therefore describes the investigative pilot, presenting for the first time the results obtained.
