One way to improve the welfare of street children through informal education is to build reading parks. This article discusses the function of reading parks in providing opportunities to learn something, prepare skills, and reveal the potential of street children, who often cannot access formal education. In addition to creating children with complex reading mechanisms, a place for play, and learning, they also provide a reduction in the risk of children usually engaging in risky activities such as child exploitation and crime. Apart from discussing the benefits, this article also explores the impact of reading gardens on children's self-concept, emotions and relationships as readers. Finally, the discussion concludes with the emphasis that reading gardens may be a necessary step to contend with superficial poverty and the long-term well-being of street children. This research was carried out by collecting data from previously existing journals, papers and articles, starting from a sense of concern for the educational needs of street children which are often neglected. The results of this research show that reading parks are not only a means of learning, but also provide hope and opportunities for street children to access inclusive education.
Analisis Puisi “Malam Berdarah” Karya Ozy V. Alandika Menggunakan Pendekatan Mimetik
Authors: Isyatul Mardhiah
Published: February 2025

Poetry is a beautiful language expressed in written words based on a person's thoughts and feelings. Poetry is a literary work that is imaginative and contains a similarity in meaning with other uses, so the meaning contained in poetry remains hidden behind words, metaphors, and aesthetics and is conveyed. Not everyone can understand the meaning of poetry. In reading poetry, it is necessary to repeat it several times to understand the meaning of the poem because the language in poetry has a broad, implicit meaning and is difficult to interpret. Therefore, readers must understand how to study poetry with knowledge so that they can understand the meaning of the poetry conveyed. The poem "Bloody Night" uses strong and metaphorical language that depicts tragedy and suffering, making it interesting to study. This becomes a reader's attraction to study the poem and make it a research material. The purpose of this research is to analyze the meaning of the poem entitled "Bloody Night" by Ozy V. Alandika and convey the contents of the poem in detail so that readers can know the meaning conveyed through the existence of this research. This research is also beneficial for readers to further develop literary works in the form of poetry. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method that examines the content of the meaning of the poem "Bloody Night". Thus, this research will reveal the implicit meaning of the poem presented by the poet. In addition, the researcher analyzes this poem using a mimetic approach. Mimetic is an approach in literary criticism that considers literary works as imitations or fictions of real life.

Published: February 2025

This article examines the evaluation of translation errors made by using online translation applications. Online translation applications are increasingly important for cross-language communication, but their quality often contains errors and defects. The research uses qualitative methods with a descriptive analysis approach, focusing on sixth-semester English students at the Indonesian Christian University of Toraja. The study consists of 10 Indonesian sentences translated into English using an online translation application. The results of semantic analysis show significant translation errors, including context-related errors, loss of nuance, and word choice errors. Inconsistencies in translation between sentences are also observed. The article emphasizes the importance of human skills in translation and double-checking translation results. It emphasizes the need for a deeper understanding of context and nuance. While online translation apps can be useful tools, careful and critical evaluation is still essential to ensure optimal quality in cross-language communication.

Authors: Leggieri Filippo , Civinini Alessandro , Matassi Fabrizio , Carulli Christian , Innocenti Matteo , Civinini Roberto
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether serum albumin level (<35mg/L) can predict mortality after proximal femoral fracture surgery in older adults. Methods: This review adhered to the guidelines outlined in the PRISMA statement. The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane were reviewed for studies. The risk of bias was assessed with the ROBINS-I tools. The following relevant data from each included study were extracted and reported by two independent reviewers: study design, sample size, follow-up, age, gender, mortality at last follow-up, odds ratio (OR). Results: In total, 2,009 studies were identified; 18 original articles satisfied both the inclusion and the exclusion criteria and were included in the final meta-analysis. At 1 month of follow up, among 15,284 patients, the OR was 1.20 (95% CI: 0.86–1.68) with an I-squared statistic of 98.3%. At 1 year of follow-up, among 2,281 patients, the OR was 1.88 (95% CI: 1.00–3.53) with an I-squared statistic of 20.5%. At long-term follow-up (beyond 3 years), among 283 patients, the OR was 5.58 (95% CI: 2.56–12.06) with an I-squared statistic of 0.0%. Evaluation of mortality hazard, among 283 patients, revealed a hazard ratio of was 1.04 (95% CI: 0.89–1.19) with an I-squared statistic of 40.2%. Conclusion: Over a follow-up period of more than three years, patients with low serum albumin levels have a 5.58 times higher mortality risk than those with normal levels. Additionally, at one year, patients with low serum albumin levels are 1.88 times more likely to die than those with normal levels. KEY WORDS: Proximal femoral fractures, pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, hip fractures, albumin, mortality, nutritional state, odds ratio, hazard ratio.
Battling the Student Engagement Front
Authors: Collins Justin A.
Published: February 2025

The school finance debate has profoundly shaped the educational reform landscape over the past four decades. Most conspicuously, judges level billion dollar decrees based on scant and conflicting findings. This book sought to explore whether school funding practices satisfy the equity and adequacy standards delineated by policymakers and judges, and demanded by the broader public. A funding formula myopia, the book argues, has left student engagement largely overlooked. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that vast funding enhancements have introduced disappointing outcomes results. The book argues the front of the classroom must become and remain the epicenter of reform activity: and that transforming instructional and engagement behaviors are effort-intensive endeavors that very little in pecuniary terms. In the end, an eye on the student engagement/pedagogical ball over the long run will deliver the results that cash infusions simply cannot. The book concludes by documenting how educational leaders can go about driving such desirable learning/instructional behaviors, and the quantified test score gains that can be expected to follow.
Creative Learning for the Information Age
Authors: Lesch Lyn
Published: February 2025

Creative Learning for the Information Age: How Classrooms Can Better Prepare Students, second edition examines how students in their formative years can learn in a more creative manner and can become successful in an age in which knowledge travels so rapidly and is transformed so quickly. This book sets forth several solutions, such as new skills that allow students to perceive important relationships and connections within various subject matters, a different type of accountability that is integrally tied to student initiative, and a different learning structure that allows teacher and student to work together to develop subject matter which is more fully connected to the world of professional expertise.

Lesch also assesses certain barriers which may stand in the way of students learning more creatively in our current information age. In particular, he draws attention to an emphasis on standardized testing and the introduction of national core standards – both of which significantly restrict the field of various subject matters and thereby restricting creative thinking and learning – and the potential dulling of young people’s inner lives along with a potentially distracted awareness being engendered in them by the technologies of our current digital age.
Catastrophic School Violence
Authors: Scherz Jared M. , Scherz Donna
Published: February 2025

This book delves deep into school culture and the school shooter. The authors generate a more comprehensive picture of school violence including the personal, interpersonal, and environmental factors that help to generate a school serial killer.

The authors introduce new type of violence classification system, which includes“retributive violence” as well as a new tool for schools to use in preventing catastrophe. This book provides the foundation for building an Early Warning Violence Prevention and Detection System for schools.

Through a new concept of reverse profiling, the authors widen the perspective on the multiple causes of school violence, moving away from a static trait cluster or profile perspective. Increased attention to the processes, patterns, cycles, and other decompensation trends is the key to identifying schools which are vulnerable to violence and potential perpetrators. Awareness can be the best tool in prevention.
Dark Assemblages
Authors: Pritchett Kay
Published: February 2025

This book examines strategies of transformation (becomings, image-making, and the phantasmagoric) that figure in four stories and a novel by Gothic fiction writer Pilar Pedraza (Spain, 1951). While critics have long associated the Bildungsroman with Gothic fiction, this study takes a close look at the developmental process itself: the means by which a protagonist, young or old, might transcend a deprived status to achieve a complete sense of self. Pedraza's works imply that, regardless of the path followed, a character's ability to think differently is crucial to progress. The fixed image, representative of an inflexible, socially determined mindset, arises as an obstacle to maturation. In "Días de perros," for example, a triangular arrangement of coins in a cigar box elucidates the connection between individual lives and the social order or assemblage. Literary texts, such as this one, serve as collective assemblages of enunciation, capable of exposing fixed images as powerful instruments of control. "Tristes Ayes del Águila Mejicana" discovers fixed images among the icons of Colonial Spain's exequias reales, used in this case to territorialize the evolving identity of indigenous peoples.

The territory thatPedraza's fictionbest illuminates is, in reality, the image. When images remain fixed or territorialized, they uncannily infect the assemblages over which they exert influence. Placing emphasis on images that impact women, Pedraza, in "Anfiteatro," for example, deconstructs "cat woman," which, albeit a potentially subversive image in its early manifestations, eventually ceases to empower the feminine, lashing it, rather, to a burdensome stereotype. Territorialized, the feminine must, then, break free from the image in order to discover representations more capable of illuminating present-day challenges.

The phrase "dark assemblages," drawn from Deleuze and Guattari's A Thousand Plateaus, gestures toward societal stagnation as a decisive factor in individual evolvement. Gothic fiction represents an uneven landscape, in that it tenders the possibility of a social critique yet, equally well, lends itself to the exclusion of specific identities and practices that society brands as anomalous. Pedraza's Gothic fiction is, indeed, subversive, in that it offers readers original perceptions of modern day people and the assemblages, dark or otherwise, to which they belong.
The Letters of Ruth Pitter
Authors: King Don W.
Published: February 2025

Although Ruth Pitter (1897–1992) is not well known, her credentials as a poet are extensive, and in England from the mid-1930s to the mid-1970s she maintained a modest yet loyal readership. In total she produced eighteen volumes of new and collected verse. Her A Trophy of Arms (1936) won the Hawthornden Prize for Poetry in 1937, and in 1954 she was awarded the William E. Heinemann Award for The Ermine (1953). Most notably, perhaps, she became the first woman to receive the Queen’s Gold Medal for Poetry in 1955. Furthermore, from 1946 to 1972 she was often a guest on BBC radio and television programs, In 1974 The Royal Society of Literature elected her to its highest honor, a Companion of Literature, and in 1979 she received her last national award when she was appointed a Commander of the British Empire.

Pitter was a voluminous letter writer. Her friends and correspondents read like a “Who’s Who” of twentieth-century British literary luminaries, including AE (George Russell), A. R. Orage, Hiliare Belloc, Walter de la Mare, Julian Huxley, John Masefield, Phillip and Ottoline Morrell, George Orwell, Dylan Thomas, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, James Stephens, Dorothy L. Sayers, Siegfried Sassoon, Virginia Sackville-West, Dorothy Wellesley, Lord David Cecil,John Betjeman, Evelyn Waugh, John Wain, Kathleen Raine, and May Sarton. Stylistically Pitter’s letters are marked by crisp prose, precise imagery, and elegant simplicity reflecting a well-read and vigorous mind—lithe, curious, penetrating, analytical, and perceptive. Of her more than one thousand letters covering the years 1908–1988, published here is a generous selection. These selected letters go a long way toward illustrating Pitter’s desire to reach a public interested in her as both a poet and personal commentator. These letters offer an understanding of “the silent music, the dance in stillness, the hints and echoes and messages of which everything is full” reflected in her life and poetry. In total they provide an essential introduction to the work of this neglected twentieth-century poet.
In Tongues of Mortals and Angels
Authors: Barreto Eric D. , Myers Jacob  D. , Young Thelathia “Nikki”
Published: February 2025

Through close textual engagement, theological exposition, ethical reflection, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this book presents a constructive theology of divine speech in the Acts of the Apostles and 1 Corinthians in critical conversation with contemporary issues of sociopolitical, ecclesial, and theological importance. In particular, the authors attend to pericopes in Acts and Paul that open up fresh ways of thinking about divine discourse, preaching, and advocacy in light of contemporary matters of theological and ethical import. In addition to classical modes of textual and theological analysis, the authors attend to the sociopolitical and sociolinguistic aspects of speech as they arise in these pericopes. As such, the authors are simultaneously deconstructing these texts through postcolonial and post-structural analyses to expose these texts to an alterity at work therein, an alterity that has been muted by centuries of biblical interpretation.
If They Talk More During Lessons, Will They Achieve Better? Unlocking the Reciprocal Relationship Between Student Verbal Participation and Achievement
Authors: Sedláček Martin , Šeďová Klára , Švaříček Roman , Šalamounová Zuzana
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the relationship between student verbal participation and achievement in sixth-grade language arts. We conducted an intervention in six classes to enhance and equalize student talk while reducing individual disparities in participation. The design of the study involved measuring talk time and administering reading literacy tests before and after the intervention, with similar measurements in six control classrooms. The results indicated increased and more evenly distributed verbal participation in the intervention classrooms than in the control classrooms. However, no significant differences in student achievement were observed between the two groups. A path analysis examined the link between participation and achievement, confirming that verbal participation is a predictor of student success. The study suggests that the impact of increased verbal participation on achievement might be more pronounced over the long term, necessitating further research with delayed post-measurements to fully understand this relationship.
Die Übersetzung einiger soziokultureller Begriffe im Lehrevangelium Konstantins von Preslav
Authors: Taseva Lora
Published: February 2025

The article studies the ninth-century collection of orations called Uchitel’noe evangelie [Didactic Gospel] that contains both translated and original pieces by Constantine of Preslav. The medieval translator faced an extremely difficult linguistic and cultural task since, on the one hand, he had to render clearly and exactly the Byzantine text and make it understandable to his audience of neophyte Christians. On the other hand, however, he also needed to preserve the richness of the Byzantine source text which was composed in a language with a millennial tradition (Greek) and transmit it to a target text by means of a language whose written history was only about three decades old (Old Church Slavonic). The study focuses on the translation techniques in relation to several sociocultural concepts related to the Hellenistic world: πολιτεία, ἀριστοκρατέομαι, ὀλιγαρχέομαι, ψῆφος, and ψηφίζομαι. Several strategies in their transmission stand out: a) free (contextual) translation (ψηφίζομαι > вѣщати); b) more general semantic correspondences (ἀριστοκρατέομαι > власти); c) lexical differentiation of the semantic nuances of the same word (πολιτεία > житиѥ and жиꙁнь; d) addition of new meanings to existing words (житиѥ ‘way of life in a socium prescribed by certain rules and norms’, жиꙁнь ‘state system’, иꙁдречениѥ ‘decision, judgement’); e) loan translation (ὀλιγαρχέομαι > оумалѣѥмъ бꙑти). In most cases, the Slavic correlate reflects well the semantics of the Greek lexeme in the specific context. The decisions of the Old Bulgarian man of letters are examined in comparison with dozens of other translations from the ninth to the fourteenth centuries. It is found that, due to their contextual nature, most of these correlates remained isolated only in the Didactic Gospel. However, through them, Constantine of Preslav also enriched the Greek-Old Church Slavonic paradigm in the area of lexis.

Authors: Pinem Lina Herida , Bin Sansuwito Tukimin , Nambiar Nisha
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Marital satisfaction, which includes aspects of communication, emotional intimacy, partner support, and quality of interaction, is believed to play an important role in maternal mental health after childbirth. This dissatisfaction can increase feelings of loneliness, stress, and anxiety, all of which can worsen the mental state of the postpartum mother. Women who experience dissatisfaction in their marital relationships have a higher tendency to experience postpartum depression. The prevalence of depressive disorders in the world population is 3-8% with 50% of cases occurring at the productive age of 20-50 years. World Health Organization. (WHO) states that depressive disorder affects 20% of women and 12% of men at some point in life. Objective: To find out if there is a relationship between marital satisfaction and the incidence of postpartum depression in East Bekasi. Methods: This study is an analytical study, meaning a study that aims to see the relationship or influence in the form of analytical descriptive research with a crossectional approach using the chisquere test, Research results: the results of the Chi-Square Statistical Test obtained a p-Value of 0.043 (p-value <0.05) so that Ha was accepted by Ho and rejected which means that there is a meaningful relationship between marital satisfaction and depression in postpartum mothers. Bottom Line: Women who are dissatisfied with their marriage are more at risk of postpartum depression. These findings are in line with many previous studies that show that the quality of a marital relationship can affect a mother's mental well-being after childbirth. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the aspect of marital satisfaction as part of efforts to prevent postpartum depression.

Published: February 2025

Context.—

Distinguishing between renal oncocytic tumors, such as renal oncocytoma (RO), and a subset of tumors with overlapping characteristics, including the recently identified low-grade oncocytic tumor (LOT), can present a diagnostic challenge for pathologists owing to shared histopathologic features.

Objective.—

To develop an automatic computational classifier for stratifying whole slide images of biopsy and resection specimens into 2 distinct groups: RO and LOT.

Design.—

A total of 269 whole slide images from 125 cases across 6 institutions were collected. A weakly supervised attention-based multiple-instance–learning deep learning (DL) model was trained and initially evaluated through 5-fold cross validation with case-level stratification, followed by validation using an independent holdout data set. Quantitative performance evaluation was based on accuracy and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results.—

The developed model data set yielded generalizable performance, with a 5-fold average testing accuracy of 84% (AUC = 0.78), and a closely aligning accuracy of 83% (AUC = 0.92) on the independent holdout data set.

Conclusions.—

The proposed artificial intelligence approach contributes toward a comprehensive solution for addressing commonly encountered renal oncocytic neoplasms, encompassing well-established entities like RO along with the challenging “gray zone” LOT, thereby proving applicable in clinical practice.

Earring link models and their circulation on the present-day territory of Romania (11th – early 16th centuries)
Authors:   National History Museum of Romania, Bucharest; email: silviuota@yahoo.com., OȚA SILVIU
Published: February 2025

On the present-day territory of Romania, various models of earring links were in circulation from 11th to the 16th centuries. Their shapes and their manufacturing characteristics could vary from one region to another due to different external influences that occurred at various times throughout the analysed period. This article primarily focuses on the shapes of the earring links, with the analysis of decorative patterns being secondary. The author attempted to create a typology of earring link characteristics since, in many cases, they can be indicative of specific chronological periods. Their distribution across the present-day territory of Romania has also been considered, where notable regional variations become apparent. In total, the author has considered a number of 75 sites where such pieces come from, to which are added the specimens from museum collections (four). Overall, we can observe that, despite the constantly changing ornamental patterns of earrings, they are broadly the same, particularly in regions with connections to Byzantium and its successor states. These states were significantly influenced by the jewellery fashion of the Byzantine Empire, even after its decline.

X‑ray fluorescence analyses were carried out on 39 harness parts and on two vessels from the royal tomb 2 under Mogilanska Mogila in Vraca in the Triballian lands. They were compared with the analysed harness sets from Agighiol and Peretu in the lands of the Getae, all of them belonging to the same stylistic group. One harnessed horse was very expensive. The harness parts from Vraca were made of a silver alloy containing copper, bismuth, lead, gold and iron, as well as trace elements. They were probably gilded; the back of the appliqués of the harness set shaped as a woman’s head was connected through an alloy with the core. The harness set and the vessels were made of the same silver ingot by a silversmith working in the Vraca region. This ingot differs from those of Peretu and Agighiol. The origin of these ingots is unknown.

The database of finds from the Istro-Pontic territory containing coins issued at Mesambria, in the pre-Roman period, has been substantially enriched in the last half century. The current state of information changes the way we can perceive today the presence and the possible role of these coins. The coin types found in the IstroPontic territory are “Corinthian helmet” (in silver and bronze), “Athena/wheel” (bronze), “Athena Promarchos‑Alkis” (bronze), and “Dionysos/grape cluster” (bronze). Isolated coin discoveries are concentrated along the coastal area and relatively on the banks of the Danube. Most of the isolated finds seem to belong to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. The catalogued hoards form a relatively compact horizon, dated earlier (second half of the 4th century BC) and seem to have been buried, in general, between 339-313 BC, in the context of a series of military events. The products of the mint of Mesambria and possible merchants or other individuals coming from this colonial centre entered the IstroPontic area from the south, and, through intermediaries, they also reached the power centres of the local communities.

Published: February 2025

The activity of mountain tourism among the Bukovina Germans has not yet been comprehensively investigated in the specialist literature. The various associations in the multicultural and multiethnic province of Bucovina, especially after the turn of the century, were exponents of the ethnic communities from which they originated. German, Jewish, Romanian and Polish associations, in addition to their specific everyday activities, also had the development and cultivation of the national identity as a goal. The present article offers a monographic presentation of the mountaineering associations that made up the German mountain tourism movement in Bucovina from the second part of the 19th century up to the beginning of the Second World War, when the Germans left Bucovina during Hitler’s Heim ins Reich campaign.

The history of the ethnic Germans (especially the Transylvanian Saxons) on the current territory of Romania has been and continues to be an interesting field of scientific research, especially from a historical point of view. The Saxons’ settlement in Transylvania took place more than eight and a half centuries ago, when they were invited by the Hungarian royal crown to defend its new territorial conquests. In this context, history unfolds in a direct diachronic link between the Romanian, Hungarian and Saxon ethnic groups over the centuries up to the present day.
The article is dedicated to an outstanding representative of the Transylvanian Saxons (although of Danish origins, he integrated into this evangelical community in Transylvania), on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of his birth. He represents the class of those who contributed to the architectural development of towns by designing secular and clerical buildings, implementing in the new buildings erected in this geographical area the knowledge acquired at specialized institutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Scharberg went down in history with his projects for low-cost social housing, the “Vitrometan” factory in Mediaș, the former “Scandia” salami factory in Sibiu, as well as for the development plans drafted for numerous towns in the country: Câmpina, Balcic, Constanța, Iași, Sibiu, etc.
Unwahrscheinlichkeiten des gestirnten Himmels. Ein Biogramm des Weitblicks und der Wirkung. Hermann Oberth zum 130. Geburtstag gewidmet

Published: February 2025

This article is dedicated to one of the founding fathers of rocketry and spaceflight, Hermann Oberth (1894–1989), a remarkable but controversial personality, known worldwide as a pioneer of space. Hermann Oberth, who had been thinking about space travel since the age of eleven, inspired by Jules Verne’s novels about flying to the moon, is considered one of the most important scientists of the 20th century because of his life's work: developing the theoretical basis of space travel. The article describes his work and the impact of his research against the backdrop of his seminal study on rocket construction and space exploration, a fundamental work for modern spaceflight. Throughout his lifetime and to the present day, Oberth has fascinated scientists around the world not only for his outstanding merits, but also for the daring, hard work, insight, perseverance, dedication and spirit of adventure that would recommend him as a young man for his vocation and for a body of work that continues to inspire scientists and astronauts everywhere today. 130 years after his birth, his groundbreaking achievements are presented in the form of a scientific biography and in the context of historical events in order to capture the milestones and turning points that defined the journey of a remarkable life and the history of an era.

Improving Efficiency Through the Publication of Expected Distances for Standard Terminal Arrival Routes
Authors: Krummen Jan , Krauth Timothé , Allendorf Jan , Monstein Raphael
Published: February 2025

Accurate pre-flight fuel planning is essential to ensure that an aircraft carries enough fuel for a safe flight, while avoiding unnecessary weight that reduces efficiency. However, at certain airports, frequent shortcuts on arrival can lead to systematic discrepancies between the nominal STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route) distances used for fuel planning and the actual distances flown. This, in turn, can result in aircraft carrying unnecessary excess fuel. To address this issue, some airports have begun to publish expected STAR distances for specific procedures in the Aeronautical Information Publication, allowing operators to plan fuel more accurately. This paper examines the impact of providing expected STAR distances by analysing one year of ADS-B data from Geneva, Munich and Rome Fiumicino airports. The study compares the observed distances flown with the full and expected STAR distances and presents econometric models to identify factors influencing the actual flown distances. In addition, fuel calculations are presented to estimate the potential benefits of publishing expected distances at airports that do not currently provide this information. The results show that for most of the STARs analysed, significant differences between observed flight distances and full STAR distances exist. However, these discrepancies are mitigated by the availability of published expected distances at Munich and Rome. The econometric model highlights consistent influencing factors such as STAR shape, shortcut potential, peak traffic hours, and weather conditions, although some effects are more location-specific. The fuel savings analysis suggests that adopting this practice at more airports could significantly reduce unnecessary fuel burn and associated emissions. Overall, this paper increases the understanding of how publishing expected STAR distances can improve fuel planning accuracy, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
