A Typology of Organisations in the Indian Social Sector
Authors:   Indian School Of Development Management,   Centre for Social Impact and Philanthropy
Published: October 2023

"The Indian social sector is one of the largest and growing social economies across the world. However, there is lack of understanding of the variety of organisations in this sector as the existing typologies of social sector organisations are not suitable to understand the Indian social sector. This is because of two main reasons: first, the literature has largely concentrated on typologies of social sector enterprises in the developed economies of the West especially North America and European Union. Second, the different demands of the social sector in developed economies have led to growth of social sector enterprises which are widely different in form and structure compared to the Indian social sector organisations. With a view to fill this gap in the existing research, first we provide an overview of the existing typologies of social sector enterprises. Second, we suggest a typology that considers different characteristics simultaneously to provide a hierarchical typology of social sector organisations in India. We conclude the discussion with identification of the factors to be considered for application of this typology."

Renovation of vernacular architecture in rural China
Authors:   , Ying Li
Published: October 2023

With the rapid progress of urbanization in China, a lot of villages face serious brain-drain. A serious problem of culture deterioration arises except in a few traditional villages. Most newly built rural homes are weak and unsafe due to a lack of professional support and building codes. Many large-scale rural reconstruction projects initiated by the government fail because of corruption and irresponsibility. The rural residents suffer from the lack of infrastructure and the quality of their homes.

Presently, there are a few grassroots, activists, architects, architectural critics, media and NGOs working for the renovation of Chinese vernacular architecture and rural settlement. Their works include architectural writing, installation artworks and projects in rural areas.

This paper is an attempt to propose sustainable approaches and alternative patterns to settle grounds for Chinese contemporary rural construction, regarding architecture, decorative arts, construction systems and user's organization for promotion, by investigating, analyzing and comparing theories and some represented samples of traditional villages, renovation projects and installation artworks from the standpoints of technology, sociology, politics, art, philosophy, history and sustainability.

Con el rápido progreso de la urbanización en China, muchas aldeas se enfrentan a una seria fuga de cerebros. Existe un grave problema de deterioro de la cultura, excepto en algunas aldeas tradicionales. La mayoría de los hogares rurales de nueva construcción son frágiles e inseguros debido a la falta de apoyo profesional y códigos de construcción. Muchos proyectos de reconstrucción rural a gran escala iniciados por el gobierno fracasan debido a la corrupción y a la irresponsabilidad. Los residentes rurales sufren de la falta de infraestructuras y la baja calidad de sus hogares. En la actualidad, hay unas pocas personas de base, activistas, arquitectos, críticos arquitectónicos, medios de comunicación y ONGs que trabajan para la renovación de la arquitectura vernácula china y los asentamientos rurales. Sus obras incluyen teoría y crítica arquitectónica, instalaciones artísticas y proyectos en zonas rurales. Este trabajo es un intento de proponer enfoques sostenibles y modelos alternativos para sentar las bases de la construcción rural contemporánea china, con respecto a la arquitectura, las artes decorativas, los sistemas constructivos y la organización de los usuarios para la promoción. La investigación analiza y compara teorías y muestras representativas de aldeas tradicionales, Proyectos de renovación e instalaciones artísticas desde los puntos de vista de la tecnología, la sociología, la política, el arte, la filosofía, la historia y la sostenibilidad.
Modelo estratégico (SM) para la gestión de proyectos de carácter único.
Authors:   , Serer Figueroa Marcos
Published: October 2023

Durante la última década muchos project managers, consultores de empresa, están incluyendo en su catálogo de asesoría a sus clientes, la propuesta de que gestionen sus compañías "por proyectos", que en realidad no se trata sino de aplicar técnicas habituales en la elaboración de proyectos de "carácter único" dentro del ámbito empresarial.

Esta propuesta de los project managers (gestores de proyecto en su mejor traducción al español), no es sino un reflejo de las múltiples líneas de trabajo que se proponen a las empresas para que mejoren en su gestión. Y es que las "empresas mercantiles" son sin duda los entes básicos de la generación de las condiciones económicas y sociales que conducen al desarrollo positivo de la humanidad. Y esa es la consideración de preeminencia que ha justificado el que hayan sido los más estudiados por universidades, escuelas de negocio, asociaciones, estados, etc.

Se entiende, por tanto que las "empresas" estén probando, entre otros, este método de trabajo propio de proyectos de carácter único. Sin embargo resulta ciertamente curioso esta apropiación del método, sabiendo que precisamente los proyectos no se distinguen por ser las "operaciones" mejor gestionadas en forma consistente; y al contrario, las empresas necesitan para su propia supervivencia estar bien gestionadas.

A partir de esa convicción, intentamos trasladar al mundo del proyecto ese modelo empresarial Y aquí se adivina el principio de la tesis: Consideramos al proyecto como una "empresa" de horizonte limitado en el tiempo. Con un plazo finito, pero que en su desenvolvimiento es perfectamente admisible que podría gestionarse como una empresa mercantil. En consecuencia, cerramos el circulo y consideramos lo mejor de cada idea proponiendo un modelo global para todo tipo de proyectos de carácter único que tiene en cuenta a los objetivos del cliente y los del resto de actores que son considerados como "empleados" o mejor "colaboradores necesarios" del proyecto. Con un gestor, que se asemeja al gerente de la empresa mercantil. Y en la propuesta se considera, igualmente, la necesidad de atender a la formación de los "empleados", a la satisfacción de los usuarios que recibirán el producto (el artefacto o unidad actuación (UA), etc.) que se "fabrica" -proyecta y construye-o existe, también, una "cultura" en la "forma de hacer" de los actores -empleados-, etc. Así que, se llega incluso a la definición de una "Misión del Proyecto" similar a la Misión de las empresas mercantiles.

La propuesta de la tesis se presenta en forma esquemática con una simbología especial que tiene mucho que ver con lo que se pretende, y posteriormente se va diseccionando por partes que se analizan sobre la base de reflexiones en más de 95 casos reales de situaciones en diferentes proyectos que dan validez al modelo, justificando su utilidad para la mejora de la gestión

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of many sensor nodes that are densely deployed throughout a randomized geographical area to monitor, detect, and analyze various physical phenomena. The primary obstacle encountered in WSNs pertains to the significant reliance of sensor nodes on finite battery power for wireless data transfer. Sensors as a crucial element inside Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) renders them vulnerable to failures arising from intricate surroundings, substandard manufacturing, and the passage of time. Various anomalies can appear within WSNs, mostly attributed to defects such as hardware and software malfunctions and anomalies and assaults initiated by unauthorized individuals. These anomalies significantly impact the overall integrity and completeness of the data gathered by the networks. Therefore, it is imperative to provide a critical mechanism for the early detection of faults, even in the presence of constraints imposed by the sensor nodes. Machine Learning (ML) techniques encompass a range of approaches that may be employed to identify and diagnose sensor node faults inside a network. This paper presents a novel Energy-aware and Context-aware fault detection framework (ECFDF) that utilizes the Extra-Trees algorithm (ETA) for fault detection in WSNs. To assess the effectiveness of the suggested methodology for identifying context-aware faults (CAF), a simulated WSN scenario is created. This scenario consists of data from humidity and temperature sensors and is designed to emulate severe low-intensity problems. This study examines six often-seen categories of sensor fault, including drift, hard-over/bias, spike, erratic/precision, stuck, and data loss. The ECFDF approach utilizes an Energy-Efficient Fuzzy Logic Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (EE-FLACH) algorithm to select a Super Cluster Head (SCH) within WSNs. The SCH is responsible for achieving optimal energy consumption within the network, and this selection process facilitates the early detection of faults. The results of the simulation indicate that the ECFDF technique has superior performance in terms of Fault Detection Accuracy (FDA), False-Positive Rate (FPR), and Mean Residual Energy (MRE) when compared to other detection and classification methods.

Tourism is one of the industries that contribute considerably to the country's economy. Tourism helps the country's economy expand by providing and increasing jobs, living standards, and triggering the rise of other tourist-related production. The tourism industry will become a multinational industry and the primary driver of the global economy in the twenty-first century. Tourism has generated significant foreign exchange for a number of countries. Indonesia, the world's biggest archipelagic country with 17,508 islands, often known as the archipelago or maritime country, has recognized the importance of the tourist sector to the Indonesian economy because tourism growth consistently outpaces economic growth. The research's goal is to map the number of tourist visits. The mapping is in the form of clusters based on countries. The technology utilized is classification data mining with the K-Means method and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The dataset came from the Central Bureau of Statistics, a government organization (abbreviated as BPS). The research outcomes in cluster mapping, with the cluster results compared to standard K-Means and K-Means + PSO. RapidMiner software is used during the analytical process. The calculation results in the form of clusters will be evaluated using the Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI) parameter. The cluster value (k) used is k = 2, 3, 4, 5. The findings show that the K-Means + PSO optimization has the minimum DBI value for k = 5. Meanwhile, the DBI value for k = 5 is 0.134.

Web Mining is regarded as one among the data mining techniques that aids in fetching and extraction of necessary data from the web. Conversely, Web usage mining discovers and extracts essential patterns usage over the webs which are being further utilized by various web applications. In order to discover and explore web services that are registered with documents of Web Services-Inspection, Discovery and Integration registry, Universal Description wants specific search circumstance similar to URL, category and service name. The document of Web Service Description Language (WSDL) offers a condition of the web services customers to take out operations, communications and the service format of right message. Therefore, WSDL is being utilized together with semantic explanation dependent substantiation for the extraction of different web services for related purpose, other supporting operations and attributes. The reason is that there subsist different web services having corresponding functionalities however altered or changeable attributes that are non–functional. Resultant, recognize the preeminent web service become tiresome for the user. A method is projected which caters the analysis of service resemblance with the aid of semantic annotation and machine learning (ML) algorithms depending on the analysis intended for enhancing the classification through capturing useful web services semantics related with real world. The emphasizes on the research technique of choosing preeminent web service for the user based on the semantic annotation. The research work in turn recommends a web mining technique that determines the best web service automatically thus ranking concepts in service textual documentation and classifies services on behalf of particular domains. Parallel computation is made easy with web services. The different management stages in the system of recommendation entail collection of dataset through WSDL on the semantic annotation basis, thereby recognizing the best service with the DOBT-Dynamic operation dependent discovering method, ranking through mechanisms MDBR - Multi-Dimensional based ranking, recommendation and classification. In this work, it has been employed a combination of fundamental ML estimators, namely Multinomial Naive Bayes (MNB) and Support Vector Machines (SVM), as well as ensemble techniques such as Bagging, Random Forests, and AdaBoost, to perform classification of Web services. It was observed from the investigate work that the adapted system of best web services recommendation defers high performance in contradiction of the existing recommendation technique regarding accuracy, efficiency in addition to processing time.
Counselling in Itself
Authors: Kair Lance ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: October 2023

The discipline of Mental Health Counseling, referred to in this essay as Counseling, has no substantial philosophy. In the United States, much of Counseling philosophy is rooted in the American Counseling Association’s code of ethics. However, this is a code of material conduct, not a substantial Counseling philosophy, and by this orientation the distinction between doing and the knowledge that informs activity is not understood important. Counseling theories thereby adhere in a third principle that is left to disseminate in foreign powers. This is to say, Counseling is commonly understood as a name for a loose set of theoretical practices bound by ethical standards, that these practices are reckoned to lay apart from one another while all referencing or otherwise answering to psychology. Due to this deferment, the apparent rise of mental health issues could be attributed to a weakening of intentional focus, since psychology, by its own scientific standard, is less a standard of care than an experimental method oriented in discovering and implementing an objective reality through which it then offers corrective protocols. This essay draws upon philosophical efforts more rigorous than a granting of epistemological deferment to propose that Counseling is a practice unto itself, in-itself, of a true substance, concerned, involved with, and related to psychology but not subject to it.
Uplifting Philosophies from the Gita
Authors: Raybagkar Mihika ,   National Philosophical Counseling Association
Published: October 2023

Bhagwad Gita, also known as the Gita, is an important ancient Indian text, written around the 3rd Century BCE. The Gita appears in the 18th Chapter of the epic, Mahabharata, written by Sage Vyasa. It is set on a war front. The Bhagwad Gita is presented as a dialogue between Arjuna, one of the warriors, and Krishna, his charioteer who was also a king. Arjuna is shown to be confused and conflicted about fighting in the war against his unjust cousins and teachers. Krishna, on the other hand, attempts, through various means, to counsel him about his duty by explaining the workings of mankind and the world. He points out the flawsin Arjuna’s reasoning and helps him clear his clouded judgement. In doing so, Krishna gave away secrets to living a meaningful life. Although the Gita is addressed towards Arjuna, his message applies to each one of us as humans who are at times conflicted, unsure and resentful. It contains eternal wisdom on the best ways to live our lives while also taking into consideration differences in personality and preference. Logic-based therapy is a modality of philosophical counselling developed by Dr. Cohen that suggests that human beings have certain faulty ways or illogical ways of thinking and interpreting life circumstances that manifest in the form of irritation and other day-to-day issues like procrastination, anger, management issues, low self-esteem etc. To solve such issues, which he calls Cardinal Fallacies, it is necessary to think rationally and transgress those illogical thought patterns. Hence, in Logic Based Therapy timeless philosophical ideologies are offered as antidotes by which people can adopt new ways of thinking and solve such everyday problems. This paper attempts to show how different cardinal fallacies can be tackled by using the eternal wisdom presented in the Bhagwad Gita, in the form of uplifting philosophies.
What’s in a Mark? Or, Black Time and the Hieroglyphics of the Flesh
Authors: Kaplan Leah A. ,   DePaul University
Published: October 2023

In “Mama’s Baby, Papa’s Maybe: An American Grammar Book,” Hortense Spillers draws a parallel between the discursive and material field of violence that assisted in the production of the captive body. She asks: “We might well ask if this phenomenon of marking and branding actually ‘transfers’ from one generation to another, finding its various symbolic substitutions in an efficacy of meanings that repeat the initiating moments?” In response to her inquiry, this paper presents a theory of “transfer” of hieroglyphics from one generation to another through a semiological reading of language and myth. This theory of “transfer” will ultimately argue that because language must be iterable, and thus communicable in different contexts, black time is structured by both continuity and severe disjunctures that perform a series of symbolic substitutions for use outside of their initiating moments.

Published: October 2023

The transition to online learning due to COVID-19 brought opportunities for applying Situated Learning Theory through mobile social media to enhance individual cognitive growth and community sense of belonging in online learning environments. In this study, we invited students from an Environmental Psychology course to participate in a semester-long project, during which they were required to post Instagram photos of their surrounding environments every week. We intend to understand the mechanism of integrating social media (Instagram) into a hybrid class amid the global pandemic, and how the project affects students’ learning experience. Through in-depth interviews with 22 study participants, we found that integrating Instagram into the course helped students effectively connect with both real contexts and their peers. The project enhanced participants’ situation awareness and a sense of belonging through posting, interacting with peers, and browsing profiles and posts. We then proposed a framework of creating a situated learning environment through social media using conjecture mapping to inform design implications and future studies in social and mobile learning communities.

Corn is one of the plants in agriculture that is needed in the lives of people in West Sumatra. Based on data in 2020 the need for corn is in the range of 1.2 million tons. But what can be produced is 939,466 tons. Traditional corn harvesting technology is a problem that causes corn production is not maximized. Corn harvesting tractor is one of the innovations in agricultural technology. The most important unit of the harvesting machine is the blade. The success of the machine in the harvesting process is determined by the shape and strength of the blade. Experimental testing is expensive and time consuming. Therefore, this study examines the design and simulation of blade strength on corn harvesting tractors with Solidwork software. The simulation carried out is a static analytic structural simulation. The simulation results include von-mises stress, displacement and factor of safety. Stress on the crossbar design has a maximum value of 2.168e+07 N/m^2 at the shaft connection and the inside of the bearing, maximum displacement on the side of the blade tip with a value of 1.953e-01 mm and FoS with a value of 5.553e+04. In design S the maximum stress is 2.476e+07 N/m^2, the displacement on the side of the blade tip is 2.199e-01 mm and the FoS is 1.052e+04. Both designs were given the same material AISI 1045, a force load of 87.05 N and a torque load of 41.5 Nm. The design that is suitable for use is the S shape design based on the results of the simulation and the shape that is more suitable for the harvesting process.

Introduction: For patients with a first-time suspected seizure, electroencephalograms (EEG) are part of the initial evaluation. Most sedatives result in EEG artifact “fast activity” (FA), making the EEG difficult to read. During propofol-sedated EEGs, we noticed that FA would diminish when the propofol infusion rate was low. The purpose of this study is to investigate propofol dosing and its relationship to EEG FA artifact. Methods: This study involved retrospective chart reviews of a pediatric database for sedated EEG encounters in patients under 7 years of age. Data was collected from a total of 55 charts. Total doses of propofol (mg/kg/hr) were calculated for the first half and second half. The actual EEGs were reviewed by a pediatric neurologist study investigator, to classify the degree of FA as: none, mild, moderate, severe. We then examined whether total doses of propofol given during the EEG (mg/kg/hr) halves affected the severity of FA using ordinal logistic regression. Results: The results are summarized in Table 1, which shows that propofol doses (paired T-test, p<0.001) and EEG FA (Bowker’s test of symmetry, p=0.002) were higher in the first half compared to the second half. Figure 1 graphs each data point independently, which shows via linear and ordinal logistic regression a positive relationship between propofol dosing and FA severity (p=0.0014, OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.08-1.34, respectively). Results: The results are summarized in Table 1, which shows that propofol doses (paired T-test, p<0.001) and EEG FA (Bowker’s test of symmetry, p=0.002) were higher in the first half compared to the second half. Figure 1 graphs each data point independently, which shows via linear and ordinal logistic regression a positive relationship between propofol dosing and FA severity (p=0.0014, OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.08-1.34, respectively).

Bütünleştirilmiş Öğretim Yaklaşımı
Authors: Baş Murat
Published: October 2023

Bütünleştirilmiş yaklaşım olarak ilk tanım 1900’lerin ilk çeyreğinde yapıldığı görülmektedir. Bütünleştirilmiş yaklaşım eğitim sürecinde kavram ve kazandırılmak istenen becerilerin ya da birden çok disiplinin öğelerinin birlikte işe koşulan, ortak temalar ya da disiplinlerarası bağlantılardan oluşan araştırma modeli olarak belirtmiştir. Birden çok disiplinin işe koşulması ile öğrencilere sunulacak zengin öğrenme yaşantıları onların ihtiyaç duydukları an sahip oldukları zengin öğrenme yaşantıları ile bilgiyi transfer ederek daha kolay problem çözebileceklerdir. Yapılan diğer tanımlara bakıldığında bireylere kazandırılmak istenen bilgi, beceri davranışlar için uygun ilişkilendirmeler yapılması gerektiği de dikkat çeken bir diğer detay olarak sunulabilir. Disiplinlerin bütünleştirilmesi amacıyla yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde alan yazında farklı bütünleştirme desenlerine rastlamak mümkün. Örneğin 1980-90’lı yıllarda disiplinleri birleştirme yöntemlerinin farklılık göstermesi sonucu “birleşik/bütünleşik program” kavramı yerini disiplinlerarası, geçişli disiplinler, çoklu disiplinler gibi kavramlara bırakmıştır. Bütünleştirilmiş öğretim yaklaşımına dayalı öğretim programını bir tema, konu, kavram ya da bir problem durumu merkezinde birden çok disiplinle bilinçli bir şekilde ilişki kurarak yeni bir bütün oluşturma süreci olarak tanımlamak mümkündür. Yapılan disiplinlerarası modellerin her biri incelendiğinde ortaya çıkan ortak bir görüş niteliğinin amaca hizmet etmesi için doğru bir bütünleştirme yapılması gerekliliği düşünülmekte. Yapılan alan yazın taraması sonucunda ortaya çıkan nitelikler öğrencilerin birbirinden bağımsız olarak problem çözebilme becerilerine sahip olmalarını ve geliştirmelerini, akademik başarılarını artırmalarını amaçladığı görülmektedir. Eğitim durumları düzenlemede birçok seçeneği içinde barındıran ve eğitim ortamlarının gelişimi yönünden önemli olan bütünleştirilmiş yaklaşımın uygulanmasının pek çok olumlu yönleri vardır. Derslerin programlanmasından tamamlanmasına kadar tema seçimi ile zaman zaman aileler, öğrenciler, öğretmenler okul yönetimi ekip halinde çalışmalar yapabilmektedir.

Afet dönemleri insanların fiziksel, ruhsal ve ekonomik bakımdan olumsuzluklar yaşadığı, günlük yaşamlarına olağan şekilde devam edememelerine yol açan kriz durumları bakımından kentlerdeki toplumsal yaşamı çeşitli derecelerde etkilemektedir. Afete bağlı bu kriz dönemleri yönetimsel yükler ve zorluklara da neden olmakta, afetleri merkezi ve yerel yönetimler için önemli bir tedbir ve müdahale konusu haline getirmektedir. Türkiye’nin üzerinde bulunduğu coğrafi alan tarih boyunca afetlerin meydana geldiği, üzerinde yaşayanların bunların sonuçlarını deneyimlediği bir yerdir. Bu bakımdan, Türkiye’de olası afetlerin sonuçlarına müdahale etmek kadar, afetler karşısında önlem almaya dönük tedbirlerin de uygulandığı çok katmanlı, önleyici ve stratejik bir yaklaşıma ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Son yıllarda devreye alınan mevzuat ve politikalar bu yolda önemli bir mesafe alındığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada da afetlerin kentler ve kriz kavramı ile ilişkisi ve Türkiye’nin doğal afetlerle ilgili deneyimleri ve mevut durumu ile ülkedeki afet yönetimi anlayışı ve afet sonrası döneme ilişkin sosyal devlet uygulamaları ele alınacaktır. Çalışmanın sonuç bölümünde ise doğal afetler bağlamında kamu sosyal devlet uygulamaları ve kamu yönetimi uygulamalarına ilişkin değerlendirmelere yer verilecektir.

Sanayi devrimlerine bakıldığında yaşanan  her bir devrim bir sonraki döneme zemin hazırlamıştır. Dördüncü Endüstri Devrimi olan Endüstri 4.0 ile teknoloji ve dijitalleşmenin varlığı toplumların hayatında yoğun bir şekilde görülmektedir. Endüstri 4.0’ın etkisiyle teknolojideki gelişmeler ve değişim ihtiyacı sektörleri etkilemiş ve ilgili dönem yeni bir çağ olarak ifade edilmeye başlanmıştır. Üretim endüstrilerinde emek ihtiyaç unsuru olmaktan çıkmış; üretimde yenilikçi yaklaşımlar, veri transferleri ve çağdaş otomasyon sistemleri birer gereklilik haline gelmiştir. Lojistik sektöründe faaliyetlerini sürdüren işletmeler için esneklik, yüksek uyum, verimlilikte artış ve hızlı karar alabilme becerisi önemli hale gelmiştir. Teknolojik yeniliklerin lojistik sektöründeki boşlukları doldurma ihtimaliyle Lojistik 4.0 kavramı ortaya çıkmıştır. Lojistik 4.0’ın lojistik sektörü üzerindeki göz ardı edilemez etkisini ele alan çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Lojistik 4.0’ın lojistik sektörüne etkisi ve sektör içindeki varlığına dair yapılan literatür taramasında konuya dair farklı yönlerden yapılan çalışmalar olduğuna ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: Sayar Gökçen
Published: October 2023

The relationship between environmental technologies, environmental tax policies and ecological footprint is at the centre of efforts to achieve environmental goals for a sustainable future. In this study, which analyses the relationship between environmental technologies, environmental tax policies, and ecological footprint, the ecological footprint was defined as the dependent variable, while environmental tax, patents on environment technologies, and renewable energy were determined as independent variables. Additionally, gross domestic product, trade openness, and foreign direct investment were included as control variables in the model. The analysis incorporated a sample comprising chosen EU member states, and due to the shared constraint of data availability, annual data spanning the period from 2003 to 2018 were employed. According to the panel cointegration test results, it has been observed that there is a long-term relationship between environmental technologies, environmental tax policies, and ecological footprint. According to the results of the Konya causality analysis, it was concluded that there is a causal relationship between the variables included in the model and ecological footprint in different countries. In line with the findings obtained from the study, it is recommended that governments make regulations such as environmental taxes and encourage investment in environmental technologies to reduce environmental degradation.

Fever is one of the accompanying symptoms of HIV, mainly in the advanced stages of the disease, but its occurrence is related to a number of factors such as CD4+ Lymphocyte level, accompanying opportunistic infections; causative microorganisms etc. Fever accompanies HIV from the initial stage of the “acute retroviral syndrome” infection and during the evolution of the pathology towards the AIDS stage, even in IRIS. Fever-related opportunistic infections are divided into two groups by infectious or non-infectious causes3,4. In our study, we included 355 HIV-positive cases who had febrile episodes in different stages of immunodeficiency. In the HIV stage (to which we referred lymphocytes CD4+ over 500 cells/mm3, and without AIDS-related opportunistic infections) there were 39 cases. In the AIDS stage, there were 143 cases with a CD4 + level of 200-400 cells/mm3: pulmonary manifestations 85 cases, gastrointestinal 58 cases. With a level of CD4+ lymphocytes below 200 cells/ mm3 123 cases; pulmonary involvement 45 cases, intestinal 32 cases, CNS 11 cases, hematological.13 cases, disseminated 15 cases, FUO 7 cases. With CD4+ level below 50 cells mm3, 50 cases: non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma 9 cases. MAC 3 cases, TBC.19 cases, CNS lymphoma. 6 cases, retinal CMV 3 cases, Kaposi’s sarcoma 10 cases.
Serving the Underserved: Formerly Incarcerated Students and Support Services
Authors: Caskey Rebecca , Price-Williams Shelley
Published: October 2023

This study centered on the lived experiences of five community college students who were formerly incarcerated. Through interviews, the students shared their expectations before entering college, resources they found to be most helpful throughout their enrollment, and what they feel could make them more successful. The research focuses on the areas of academic learning, sense of belonging, and career preparedness. Results showed formerly incarcerated students were very independent when applying for college, but some standard procedures such as, applying for in-state residency for instance, are not streamlined. Formerly incarcerated students experienced difficulty using technology and finding the equipment and a quiet space to study. Active learning, connections with faculty and peers of similar interests, and helpful, trained advisors were all credited as adding to the success of formerly incarcerated students. These findings are discussed in relation to adjustments that can be made by community college administrators.
