Authors: Halimi Syafiqah Nadiah , Mirzaei Ardalan , Rowett Debra , Karen Luetsch
Published: April 2024

Background: Resilience supports pharmacists and students in thriving in challenging healthcare and academic environments. Empathy is necessary to provide patient-centred care. Knowledge of how these attributes influence pharmacy students is limited, and correlations between academic resilience, empathy, and academic success continue to be explored.
Methods: This study explores the relationships between levels of academic resilience, resilience, and empathy with the academic achievements of pharmacy students at a Malaysian university. Participants were pharmacy students enrolled from 2020/2021 to 2022/2023. Academic resilience was assessed using the Academic-Pharmacy-Resilience-Scale-16, resilience through the Brief-Resilience-Scale, and empathy with the Kiersma-Chen Empathy-Scale. Scores were related to students’ academic grades. Both descriptive and inferential statistical methods were utilised to analyse associations among variables.
Results: Responses were received from 359 students. The levels of resilience of students were deemed to be moderate. Small, statistically significant variations were found in academic resilience scores across cohorts, resilience scores, and empathy scores in relation to gender. Academic resilience showed a correlation to academic grades.
Conclusion: Academic resilience positively correlated with academic success and was positively influenced by work experience. Strengthening students’ resilience in pharmacy education may support their academic achievement, particularly during times of change like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors: Jegede Ayodapo Oluwadare , Olabanji Kayode Toyosi , Arolagbade Tunmise
Published: April 2024

Background: The failure and success rate of students in pharmacy school has been shown to be dependent on some courses that predict academic performance. The study identified factors that could impact failure and academic performances of pharmacy students at Obafemi Awolowo University.
Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study of 219 undergraduate pharmacy students from third, fourth and fifth years of a school of pharmacy in Nigeria. A pre-tested questionnaire gathered data on demographics, course perceptions and academic factors. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as percentages, weighted averages, and Chi squared tests were used to analyse the data obtained at p < 0.05.
Results: Financial constraints, family challenges, and a lack of peer interaction were significantly associated with repeating a year. Specific courses perceived as difficult included “Pharmaceutical organic chemistry” (PHC 202), “Practical pharmaceutics I” (PHA 201) and “Medicinal chemistry II” (PHC 402). Courses perceived as difficult, particularly in the fourth year, were notably linked to academic stress.
Conclusion: The study identified specific factors and courses that affect pharmacy students’ performance in the Nigerian context. Policy makers and faculty can take vital feedback to adjust the training content, methods and assessment system to possibly deliver a holistic education to pharmacy students.

Trumpismo à brasileira: o neoconservadorismo no discurso diplomático do governo de Jair Messias Bolsonaro
Authors: Natalino Enrique Carlos , Baracho Luís Fernando , Xavier Fahel Murilo Cassio
Published: April 2024

Em uma análise mais ampla do processo de degradação política e institucional promovido pelo bolsonarismo no debate político brasileiro nos últimos anos, cumpre destacar o papel desempenhado pela política externa na promoção de ideias e de ações ancoradas no pensamento político trumpista. Emulando as ideias e as ações do ex-presidente dos Estados Unidos Donald Trump, o governo de Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) importou muitas de suas concepções de política internacional, como o populismo, o nacionalismo e o antiglobalismo. Concebidas como visões de mundo que balizam as escolhas estratégicas de atores políticos, as ideias ajudam a explicar a concepção e a implementação da política externa. As concepções ideológicas interagem com os constrangimentos e variáveis independentes que impactam a sociedade, o Estado e as relações internacionais. E são mobilizadas pelos diferentes atores, governos e regimes para formular, operacionalizar e legitimar escolhas de política externa. Nesse sentido, o artigo procura verificar se a política externa de Jair Bolsonaro guarda semelhanças com uma visão de mundo conservadora do Brasil em política externa. Para tanto, buscou-se analisar como o pensamento conservador do país nos séculos XIX e XX pode fornecer modelos de compreensão sobre a inserção internacional brasileira. Em um segundo momento, o artigo contrapôs esse legado conceitual ao pensamento nacional-populista de origem norte-americana, com foco na formulação conceitual das ideias do ideólogo Olavo de Carvalho, do chanceler Ernesto Araújo e do presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Em um terceiro momento, analisou-se a implementação do nacional-populismo de origem trompista em três temas da diplomacia brasileira: na relação bilateral com os Estados Unidos; na crise venezuelana; nas relações com Israel e com países árabes.
Un nido para la paz: una experiencia de educación mediante el arte
Authors: Rodríguez Roa Elena Guadalupe
Published: April 2024

Se analizan resultados de cuatro talleres de educación no formal mediante el arte realizados en el estado de Morelos, México, en el marco del proyecto “Un nido para la paz”, que desarrolla la organización La Ventana Infinita, A. C. La finalidad de dichos talleres, es lograr, mediante lenguajes artísticos, la reflexión y concienciación acerca de las implicaciones de la violencia en el entorno y generar formas posibles de resiliencia y acción en la construcción de paz. En los talleres participaron personas de diversos grupos etarios que acudieron de manera voluntaria. El estudio realizado es de corte cualitativo, inductivo y de alcance descriptivo; los datos se obtuvieron de la observación y registro de los diálogos organizados en torno a preguntas detonadoras, tras la lectura de un cuento ilustrado. El análisis requirió la categorización, a la manera de la teoría fundamentada. Los resultados muestran que la percepción de las violencias y su significado varía generacionalmente; la constante radica en percibir un daño moral que debe sanar para que la persona pase de sentirse víctima a percibirse como agente con posibilidades de aportar a la construcción de paz.

The goal is to analyze the state of land resources and information about them in digital format, as well as occupancy and updating in order to identify the quality of unused lands for their subsequent assignment to a specific type of land and provision for temporary use. Methods – monographic, abstract-logical, analytical, statistical, mapping and forecasting. Results - current problems in the land use system are considered. During the pandemic, all land cadastral work was transferred online. It is shown that the main vector of economic development of the republic is digitalization of agriculture, which occupies a leading position in management of agricultural lands. It is noted that in 2023 an interactive map of lands returned to state ownership was launched - jerkarta.gharysh.kz. This geoservice allows not only to display withdrawn land plots in the context of regions and districts, but also to track the statistics of vacant land plots not assigned to land users, as well as the need for pastures. Conclusions - an analysis of two databases is presented, as a result of which it was revealed that information they contain about land masses is incomplete, since there are no indicators of soil quality, physical and chemical properties, and cadastral value of land. The criteria used in conducting land competitions for the provision of unused agricultural land for commercial production have been systematized. The authors state that in order to increase the efficiency of agricultural land use, it is necessary to develop a set of regulatory materials, methodology for periodically updating cadastral documentation and land monitoring, as well as effective mechanism for interaction between bodies to provide information on land plots and ensure access to it for citizens and legal entities.

Effect of Guggulu Tiktakam Kashayam in Uterine Fibroid
Authors: Swathy Sunil  , Giby Thomas  , Maya Balakrishnan
Published: April 2024

The most common benign uterine tumours affecting women in reproductive and perimenopausal stages are fibroids or leiomyomas. There is strong evidence that estrogen and progesterone promote the growth of fibroids, despite the fact that their exact aetiology is still unclear. This is because fibroids seldom arise before menarche and retreat after menopause. The most prevalent reason for hysterectomy is fibroids. Menorrhagia, polymenorrhoea, metrorrhagia, intermenstrual bleeding, infertility, repeated abortions, pain and pressure feelings, abdominal lumps, and vaginal discharge are a few of the symptoms they exhibit clinically. In Ayurveda there is no exact correlation for uterine fibroid. Fibroids can be considered as Mamsa Grandhis, one among the Grandhis described by Charaka and Vagbhata. They increase the surface area of the endometrial tissue in the uterus when present, causing excessive bleeding, pressure feelings, dysmenorrhea, and even infertility. Vata-Kapha predominant Tridoshas have a role in the aetiology of the Granthi Roga, necessitating the use of Vata-kaphahara medicines. As Granthi can also be caused by Mandagni, in Granthi chikitsa we can make use of Dravyas that are Deepana pachana. According to Acharya Susrutha, Sopha Chikitsa is included in the Apakwa Granthi chikitsa. In Mamsa granthi chikitsa, Shothagna, Lekhana, Chedhana, and Vatanulomana dravyas may be utilised. Asrigdara chikitsa and Raktapitta chiktsa can be used to treat fibroids when heavy, prolonged menstrual cycles are present. A 38 year old lady was presented with complaints of heavy, prolonged bleeding during menstruation along with lower abdomen pain. On USG she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. Guggulu tikitakam kashayam was given for 3 months and after follow up symptoms were evaluated. She was relieved from prolonged heavy bleeding during menstruation and lower abdomen pain. From this case report, it is evident that Guggulu tiktakam kashayam is effective in uterine fibroids

Honorific expressions are mostly common used in literature, specifically in novels. They have occupied an important role within the domain of socio-pragmatic studies of language. They refer to one form of speech that signal social deference, through conventionalized understandings of some aspects of the form-meaning relationship. Honorific expressions have not been studied sufficiently from a socio-pragmatic perspective, particularly in literature. The problem is, therefore, honorifics have not received an adequate analysis and significant attention from a socio-pragmatic perspective, specifically in literary text. Hence, this study attempts to answer the following questions: what is the relationship between honorification and politeness? That is, are honorifics necessarily utilized to indicate politeness or not"? Is there a relationship between the honorific expressions and the sociolinguistic variables like, age, social distance, educational degree and social status in the movie ''Pride and Prejudice''? This paper aims at identifying these honorific forms that are manifested socially and pragmatically with reference to theory of intimacy/status and the theory of politeness. Besides, it attempts to investigate the relationship between the positive and negative politeness strategies and the functions of different categories of honorifics that are used by some public characters in movie 'Pride and Prejudice'. It also sheds light on the effect of different sociolinguistic variables in interpreting and identifying the honorific expressions. The finding of this study reveals that context and other sociolinguistic factors are an effective factors and have an important role in providing a full understanding of the intended meaning of honorific forms. Substantially, this paper shows that how the choice of honorific expressions is utilized differently depending on particular socio-pragmatic aspects.

Authors: Kinanti Putri Juia Choirunnisa , Kinasih Oktavia Chairranita Putri , . Latipah
Published: April 2024

The Dempster-Shafer (DS) method is a method in trust theory that is used to overcome uncertainty in decision making. An expert system that utilizes the Dempster-Shafer method can be used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB). Application of the Dempster-Shafer method in an expert system for TB requires a good understanding of the medical domain and the ability to correctly combine evidence from multiple sources. In addition, collaboration with medical experts in developing this system will increase the accuracy and usefulness of the expert system. At the Wonokromo Community Health Center, the use of websites to diagnose tuberculosis is still lacking, therefore the aim of using this website is to help the community know more about tuberculosis. In the design process, this system uses a user interface, and is equipped with HTML, CSS, Boostrap, and Java Script. The result of this research is a website-based expert system application using the website-based Dempster Shafer method, and is able to overcome the problems that exist at the Wonokromo Community Health Center. The black box testing results show that the module configuration functions well and meets user needs.

Published: April 2024

Cyber security is a rapidly developing field and open-source software (OSS) is being led by a collaborative community and a transparent nature. This research intends to make a theoretical framework highlighting the symbiosis of community engagement models, governance models, and the security of open-source ecosystems. The significant purposes aim to investigate how community engagement affects open source software development, analyze the deployment of the governance systems in widely used open source projects, and create the theoretical model that brings the cybersecurity processes in those practices. The literature survey covers existing research on open-source software development, community engagement, governance models, and cybersecurity practices within the OSS ecosystem. Through literature review the basic concepts are investigated using conceptual analysis to determine which principles and mechanisms the Community Model Engagement and Governance models operate, influencing the security of Open Source Software. Open-source project policy recommendations are the foundation for the security of communities where members fully contribute to better governance. This includes developing a fundamental conceptual analysis to lay out the framework's principles and operation (mechanisms). This contributes to the overall development of the theoretical framework. This research expects to develop a standardized theoretical framework that tackles the community engagement-governance models-security software link from new and insightful perspectives. Practical policy recommendations to protect OSS projects will be presented to solve the cybersecurity problem easily and immediately. This study aims to add to the academic and practical discussions that focus on human and organizational components' critical roles in securing open-source software. The discussion of theoretical aspects gives this platform a unique angle that fits well into the technical approach while improving the understanding of a legally open cybersecurity community
