Improving vascular access knowledge and assessment skill of hemodialysis staff
Authors: Smith Kyle , Ayars Candace
Published: January 2025

Context

Vascular access malfunction and failure contribute to morbidity and hospitalization in hemodialysis populations. Although controversy still exists over the identification and appropriate management of access malfunction, recognition of sentinel signs during physical examination remains an efficient way to screen for access malfunction. Dialysis staff are on the front line of providing quality care to dialysis patients, often being the first ones who could detect early physical signs of access malfunction.

Objectives

The study’s purpose is to determine the effect of an advanced vascular access educational module presented to hemodialysis nurses and technicians, focusing on physical examination findings to identify a dialysis access at risk for malfunction.

Methods

Utilizing a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest group design with a nonequivalent comparison control group, the effect of an advanced vascular access education module to improve vascular access knowledge and skill in recognition of sentinel signs of access malfunction was studied in a group of hemodialysis nurses (registered nurses [RNs]) and certified patient care technicians (PCTs).

Results

Knowledge post-test scores (RN, M=94.44, SD=7.05; PCT, M=90.83, SD=7.93) were significantly higher than pretest scores (RN, M=79.54, SD=12.47; PCT M=80.67, SD=7.99) in the intervention group (p<0.001) but not in the comparison group. There were no statistically significant differences in mean skill scores between dialysis nurses (p=0.38) and PCTs (p=0.826) or between intervention and comparison groups (p=0.332).

Conclusions

This study exposes a critical gap in the transition of vascular access knowledge to the practical skill of access assessment. The findings suggest the need for restructuring the clinical training of dialysis nurses and PCTs in vascular access management and care. Newer active learning educational strategies in physical assessment of hemodialysis vascular access should be explored to further support dialysis nurses and PCTs in providing optimal patient care.
Uncertainty Avoidance, News Genres and Framing of Traditional Chinese Medicine: A Content Analysis of News from Seven Countries
Authors: Tang Jiamei , Kuang Xianwen , Wei Rining
Published: January 2025

This study explores how news media in different countries, varying in Hofstede’s cultural dimension of uncertainty avoidance, frame traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It also examines how news framing of TCM differs between the two main news genres: news reports and editorials. A comparative content analysis of 196 news pieces on TCM from seven countries was conducted. The results indicate that a country’s uncertainty avoidance index (UAI) influences the use of factual information and professional qualification frames. Additionally, news reports on TCM use more human interest and leadership frames than editorials, while editorials surprisingly use more factual information and curative effect frames than news reports.

Published: January 2025

Solid-state single-photon emitters (SPEs) are attracting significant attention as fundamental components in quantum computing, communication, and sensing. Low-dimensional materials-based SPEs (LD-SPEs) have drawn particular interest due to their high photon extraction efficiency, ease of integration with photonic circuits, and strong coupling with external fields. The accessible surfaces of LD materials allow for deterministic control over quantum light emission, while enhanced quantum confinement and light–matter interactions improve photon emissive properties. This perspective examines recent progress in LD-SPEs across four key materials: zero-dimensional (0D) semiconductor quantum dots, one-dimensional (1D) nanotubes, two-dimensional (2D) materials, including hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). We explore their structural and photophysical properties, along with techniques such as spectral tuning and cavity coupling, which enhance SPE performance. Finally, we address future challenges and suggest strategies for optimizing LD-SPEs for practical quantum applications.
Félelem a Kelettől

The allegorical presentation of one’s own country as an antemurale Christianitatis (“forewall of Christianity”) is a European phenomenon which can be found everywhere where Latin Christianity borders, or has bordered, other cultural regions, such as for instance Islamic or Orthodox ones. In Hungary, Poland and Croatia in particular, but also in the Mediterranean area, on the Iberian peninsula and in the Baltic states, concepts were developed from the Middle Ages onwards, which stylized these countries and societies as “forewalls/bulwarks of Christianity” – later secularized as “forewalls/bulwarks of Europe”. The emergence of this notion of frontier identities and their accompanying ideology was closely connected to the political and religious situation of the time. The presumed existence of an antemurale implies the existence of a murus, and of an area protected by it. This was believed to be inhabited by members of the Christian community. This western Respublica Christiana – subordinated to the secular power of the Emperor and the spiritual power of the Pope – bordered on heathen, Muslim and schismatic countries to the East. In order to gain a better understanding of the background of the bulwark topoi mentioned above and the accompanying discourses concerning the Western fear of the East in particular, it is essential to consider the ideological basis for these ideas, which were built upon frontier identities, alterity and alienity constructions, as well as on relations between the centre and the periphery.
Árak, infláció és a megélhetési költségek regionális különbségei Magyarországon a 2020-as években
Authors: Zsibók Zsuzsanna
Published: January 2025

A 2020-as évek elején Magyarország komoly kihívásokkal nézett szembe: a járvány, az energiaválság, valamint az infláció, a megélhetési és fogyasztási sokkok együttes hatása alakította át a gazdasági és társadalmi viszonyokat. Ezek következményei az évtized közepére sem csengtek le, és a megváltozott körülmények között nem várható, hogy a gazdaság visszatérjen a 2010-es évek növekedési pályájára. Vitathatatlan, hogy e hatások a különböző társadalmi csoportokat eltérő módon érintették. Jelen tanulmány az árak és a megélhetés regionális különbségeinek az oldaláról vizsgálja meg a kérdést, és arra keresi a választ, hogy az országos folyamatok miként hatottak a megélhetési költségekre regionális szinten. Elsőként bemutatja Magyarország pozíciójának alakulását európai uniós összevetésben, majd megvizsgálja a hazai árdinamikát és a megélhetési költségek területi bontású trendjeit. Az eredmények jelentős főváros-vidék különbségekre utalnak, és látható az inflációs folyamatok nem szándékolt, kedvezőtlen jövedelem-újraelosztó hatása is.

Published: January 2025

En este trabajo se presenta la síntesis y actualización de los principales resultados alcanzados en el marco de la investigación arqueológica llevada a cabo en la cuenca de la laguna de Castillos, Rocha, Uruguay. La investigación se ha centrado en el reconocimiento de la variabilidad del registro arqueológico y de las relaciones humanas entre sí y con su entorno. Mediante el uso de diversos indicadores (ej. arqueológicos, biológicos, geológicos, geoquímicos, cronológicos) se abordó de forma integrada el estudió de la distribución de sitios en el paisaje, las condiciones paleoambientales y las características del registro material recuperado en excavaciones.  En base a los datos cronológicos se infiere que la cuenca ha sido habitada desde hace al menos 4.000 14C años AP, por distintos grupos humanos. En las diferentes unidades de paisaje de la cuenca se desarrollaron ocupaciones de tipo residencial mediante la construcción de estructuras monticulares (cerritos) y/o se ocuparon geoformas naturales elevadas como las crestas bioclásticas. Los materiales recuperados permitieron reconocer diferentes procesos de manufactura y uso de instrumentos en el desarrollo de actividades domésticas. Así como también, distinguir las estrategias de obtención y uso de los recursos geológicos, animales y vegetales. El conjunto de resultados alcanzados evidencian que la cuenca, configurada en numerosos parches fitogeográficos con disponibilidad diferencial de recursos, favoreció el desarrollo sociocultural durante el Holoceno medio y tardío.

Published: January 2025

espécies surgem e espécies desaparecem. O Homo sapiens, sendo mais uma espécie de mamífero na Terra, provavelmente seguirá o mesmo destino de todas as demais espécies que vivem ou que um dia viveram no planeta, isto é, se extinguir. O objetivo deste artigo é o de analisar o papel que a cultura material possui como elemento que pode levar o Homo sapiens à extinção. Dois modelos de extinção do Homo sapiens são apresentados. Em ambos a cultura material funciona como eixo das reflexões. Em um dos modelos, faz-se uma análise do papel que as armas atômicas de destruição em massa, largamente produzidas durante a segunda metade do século XX, teriam no caso de uma “guerra nuclear”. No outro modelo, faz-se uma análise do papel destrutivo da cultura material sobre a biodiversidade, podendo levar o Homo sapiens à extinção através da degradação ambiental.

The Genre Specificity of Seriality in Lilya Kalaus’s Blog Collection The Hieroglyph of Life
Authors: Karimova Zhanar
Published: January 2025

The article examines the main genre features of Kazakhstani writer Lilya Kalaus’s blogs, which have been published as a collection titled The Hieroglyph of Life, from the perspective of seriality. It explores how artistic genres are evolving under the influence of media space and adapting to new models of reader perception. These transformations are proposed to be directly linked to the broader cultural shifts driven by the internet. The theoretical significance of this study lies in its effort to analyse the genre of blogs through the lens of serial text, which carries unique aesthetic and ideological implications. The findings and material presented in this paper are intended to contribute to further research on literary cycles (serials), especially given the growing interest in this genre.
Poezija je ono što se (ne) izgubi u prijevodu: stilistički izazovi u prevođenju Anke Žagar
Authors: Vlainić Marin
Published: January 2025

Prevođenje poezije iziskuje poseban napor zbog složene prirode jezika koji u poeziji funkcionira ne samo kao medij za prijenos značenja već i kao umjetnički alat. Posebice je to istinito u pjesničkome prevođenju, gdje stil kao ogledalo dubinskih mehanizama pjesme postaje ključan element koji može oblikovati učinak na čitatelja ciljnog jezika. Međutim, u filološkome se svijetu rijetko kad dovodilo stilistiku i traduktologiju u izravnu vezu. Zato se ovim radom nudi novi pogled na paradoksalan odnos ovih dviju posve komplementarnih filoloških disciplina propitkivanjem (ne) prevodljivosti poezije kao takve. Na primjeru istraživanja stilističkih izazova u prevođenju poezije hrvatske pjesnikinje Anke Žagar razvija se jedan mogući model stilističke analize pjesničkoga prijevoda, koji stilističarima, prevoditeljima i književnim teoretičarima može pomoći u prevođenju pjesničkih tekstova ili kritičkoj analizi istih.
Pелигиозный функциональный стиль
Authors: Ickovič Tatjana
Published: January 2025

Религиозный функциональный стиль является актуаль- ным объектом современных лингвистических исследо- ваний. В российской лингвистике активно изучаются различные жанры религиозного стиля (проповедь, ис- поведь, молитва, акафист), предпринимаются попытки систематизации жанров на разных основаниях. Одна из актуальных проблем – вопрос понимания текстов адре- сатами в поле современной религиозной православной коммуникации. Цель настоящего исследования – опи- сать коммуникативную ситуацию в религиозной сфере, учитывая субъектов коммуникации. Материалом иссле- дования являются тексты современных православных проповедей, молитв, акафистов. Теоретико-методологи- ческим основанием исследования являются коммуника- тивно-прагматический и категориально-текстовой под- ходы, позволяющие выявить жанрообразующие черты анализируемых текстов, функционирующих на русском и церковнославянском языках. В статье отмечены сле- дующие аспекты, влияющие на понимание сакральных тестов в современной православной коммуникации. Во-первых, особая роль церковнославянского языка, на котором функционируют богослужебные тексты: про- блема перевода текстов на народные языки решается в миссионерских целях для привлечения иноязычной аудитории, но не для русскоязычных прихожан; изучение церковнославянского языка в религиозно-ориенти- рованной среде поставлено на высоком уровне, но не везде является систематическим. Во-вторых, происхо- дит развитие субжанров традиционной экзегетической проповеди (собственно экзегетическая проповедь, экзе- гетическая проповедь-лекция и экзегетическая пропо- ведь-урок) в зависимости от типа аудитории: субжанры рассчитаны на воцерковленную аудиторию с различным уровнем богословской подготовки (хорошо подготов- ленную, средне и мало подготовленную), знанием древ- них языков (древнегреческого, церковнославянского), с высоким уровнем мотивации изучения Св. Писания. Проповеди произносятся на русском языке в различных коммуникативных ситуациях: во время богослужения, на светских мероприятиях (концертах, стадионах); с использованием технических средств, в Интернете, на радио и телевидении, и ориентированы на разные типы адресата, основным критерием является уровень воцер- ковления. В-третьих, важным аспектом в понимании са- кральных текстов является усвоение адресатом догма- тически правильного мировоззрения. Тексты акафистов и личных молитв, массово создающиеся в современной православной среде, зачастую отличаются трансляцией народной аксиологии, догматически неверно трактую- щей канонические установления церкви.
Analiza paratekstualnih elemenata naslovnica odabranih ljubavnih romana
Authors: Jurkovac Monika
Published: January 2025

Rad polazi od objašnjenja i najvažnijih karakteristika parateksta, fenomena koji je opisao francuski književni teoretičar i esejist Gérard Gennete u djelu Paratexts: Thresholds of interpretation (1997). Genette paratekst naziva nedefiniranom zonom (treshold), odnosno zonom između unutarnjega i vanjskoga, bez jasno definiranih granica. Nadalje, pojašnjavaju se tri elementa ključna za razumijevanje i čitanje naslovnica ljubavnih romana, za uspjeh prodaje ljubavnih romana, privlačenja nove i očuvanja stare čitateljske publike: materijalni čimbenici, kulturno-povijesna dimenzija i percepcija recipijenta, odnosno čitatelja. Cilj rada je analiza određenih parametara parateksta (vizualni izgled, pozadina i prisutnost likova na naslovnicama, analiza naslova i imena autora) na primjeru odabranih naslovnica ljubavnih romana, autorica Kate Mitchell (Kata Mijić) i Inne Moore (Ina Špiček). Rad ujedno ispituje funkcionalnost parateksta i povezanost analiziranih parametara u kontekstu komunikacije između proizvođača (izdavačka kuća) i potrošača (čitatelj ljubavnih romana). Analiza naslovnica odabranih romana pokazala je učestalu upotrebu fotografija na naslovnicama, prevlast hladnih i neutralnih boja, dominaciju eksterijera i pozadine u određenim bojama i drugo. Zapažanja dobivena analizom dovode do očekivanoga zaključka: naslovnice ljubavnih romana važan su marketinški alat i paratekstualni element budući da svojom vizualnošću privlače pažnju i ostvaruju određenu komunikaciju s kupcem, što, naposljetku, dovodi do kupnje ljubavnoga romana.

Als öffentlich-rechtlicher Sender trägt das ZDF eine besondere Verantwortung gegenüber der Gesellschaft. Diese reicht über den gesetzlichen Auftrag und die hohen Qualitätsansprüche an die Programminhalte hinaus. Mit der freiwilligen Berichterstattung nach dem Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitskodex (DNK) setzt das ZDF ein deutliches Zeichen für Transparenz und Verantwortungsbewusstsein. Besonders im Kontext der Beitragsfinanzierung ist es entscheidend, glaubwürdig zu zeigen, wie die Mittel nachhaltig und im Einklang mit gesellschaftlichen Werten verwendet werden. Die Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung verdeutlicht zudem, wie das ZDF die Prinzipien ökologischer, sozialer und ökonomischer Verantwortung systematisch in seine Unternehmensstrategie integriert.
Die Macht der Internetgiganten (III)
Authors: Verheyen Sabine , Gläser Martin
Published: January 2025

Im letzten Heft starteten wir eine Diskussionsrunde zu einer äußerst herausfordernden Thematik. Es geht um die Macht der Internetgiganten, die gerne mit Akronymen wie GAFA, GAFAM oder GAMAM markiert werden: Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Meta Platforms (ehem. Facebook), Apple, Microsoft. Es ist hinlänglich bekannt, dass diese „Big Tech“ das Netz beherrschen und in ihrem jeweiligen Bereich Quasi-Monopole bilden. Bekannt ist auch, dass die Regulierer bislang nichts bis wenig dagegen unternehmen, dies zu ändern, was vor allem der Komplexität der Materie geschuldet ist. Grundsätzlich haben Monopole negative Effekte auf den Markt mit der Folge einer ineffizienten Allokation der Ressourcen, hoher Preise und einseitiger Produktauswahl, auch das ist bekannt. Das Wettbewerbsrecht kennt aber kein Verbot von Monopolen. Wenn es ein Unternehmen schafft, durch Innovationen und Investitionen ein Monopol für ein bestimmtes Produkt oder eine bestimmte Dienstleistung zu begründen, dann ist dies rechtlich erlaubt. Problematisch sind allerdings Unternehmen, die diese Position ausnutzen, um nach und nach Wettbewerber aus dem Markt zu drängen. Hier greift das Wettbewerbsrecht. Den Auftakt der Serie bildete ein origineller Standpunkte- Beitrag zu der Frage, wie die Negativeffekte der führenden Internet-Plattformen eingedämmt werden könnten, getrieben von der großen Sorge im Hinblick auf Meinungsvielfalt und Demokratiesicherung.
Condiciones del trabajo infantil y adolescente en el cantón fronterizo de Corredores. Puntarenas, Costa Rica, 2019: análisis de línea de base con evaluación rápida
Authors: Ortega Ortega Ángel Abelino , Espinoza Góngora Ramón
Published: January 2025

Despite the historic commitment assumed by Costa Rica since the end of the 20th century to enforce the fundamental human rights of boys, girls and adolescents, child labor continues to be one of the debts pending resolution. Due to the informality conditions in which underage workers (PMET) work, their condition is less visible than other forms of violating legislation, present in the labor market and the national economy.
The purpose of this research is to generate statistical data on the condition of child labor in the canton of Corredores, to serve as a baseline for the design of a local policy against child labor in the canton and to support the construction of other planfication instruments to positively impact this problem, which is very common in the border area of the country.
Considering the lack of precise information on child labor in the area, the research resorted to primary sources, through different instruments that allow the collection of data and information on the problem as well as the perception of the different local actors regarding child labor.
La lectura compartida como estrategia para promover la lectoescritura inicial: aprendizajes de una experiencia práctica

This article summarizes the main ideas developed in the project “Shared reading in preschool children”, which integrated the components of extension and research; It was carried out by academics from the Instituto de Estudios Interdisciplinarios de la Niñez y la Adolescencia (INEINA) of the Universidad Nacional (UNA) in Costa Rica. The objective of this intervention was to contribute to the development of initial literacy in preschool children, through the design and evaluation of a shared reading training strategy aimed at teachers and parental figures.
Shared Reading in preschool boys and girls is focused on offering pleasant spaces for reading aloud, either within the family or in educational centers; books with narratives appropriate for the child’s age are used, which promote interactions that seek to contribute significantly to comprehensive development and especially to the processes of literacy and reading comprehension.
For the above reasons, training workshops were held for parents and teachers on the principles and applications of shared reading, so that they could do it with the preschool children in their care. Consequently, from this project it was analyzed how from the intervention through training, there was a resignification of the importance of shared reading, both in the family and educational sphere.
The participating groups were 13 parental figures (fathers and mothers) and 22 teachers, from different areas of the country (Heredia, Alajuela, San José, Cartago and Guanacaste). Regarding the methodology, 5 workshops were held with family figures and the same amount with teachers. On the other hand, in the research methodology, two instruments were applied, a pre-test and a post-test.
Compassion: a Phenomenology of the Affective Experience
Authors: Bleizgienė Ramunė
Published: January 2025

The article, based on a phenomenological approach to feelings, aims to describe the peculiarities of the experience of one emotion – compassion – on the basis of wedding songs and related wedding customs. Compassion was one of the ‘qualifications’ that the young woman had to prove at the wedding, that is, the initiation of women into the adult world. The similarity between the funeral and the wedding lament shows that compassion not only helped the young woman to experience a fundamental transformation in her life, but also allowed her to establish a connection with the sacred world of the dead. One of the social functions of compassion was the creation of an emotional relationship with the new family. Only by changing the hearts of the members of the new family from cold to compassionate could the young woman become a member of the new family. The article shows that this feeling is important in understanding the peculiarity of interpersonal relations, the value attitudes and behavioural patterns that justify them and are expressed in them. The experience of compassion at the wedding brought the family and the whole community together, justified and expressed the fundamental value attitude that binds individuals together and justifies their behaviour, which is being present, as well as acting in relation to those around them.
Subularia aquatica (Brassicaceae), a phantom species of the Ukrainian flora

The article provides an analysis of the current distribution patterns of a panboreal species Subularia aquatica and the species-specific ecological and coenotic conditions of its habitats. The species range within Europe has decreased due to climate aridization and eutrophication of water bodies. We found that in the historical past S. aquatica was erroneously reported for the flora of Ukraine from Vinnytsia Region due to the confusion of similar geographical names (the city of Mogilyov (Magileu) in Belarus on the Dnipro River and the city of Mohyliv-Podilskyi in Ukraine on the Dniester River). The record from Dnipropetrovsk Region has not been confirmed by a herbarium specimen and is apparently also incorrect due to the habitual similarity of S. aquatica at the early stages of ontogenesis with other miniature hydrophytes, especially Limosella aquatica. In view of this, we came to the conclusion that S. aquatica, a boreal species with a disjunct distribution, was erroneously reported for the flora of Ukraine and incorrectly included in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009, 2021). In our country, currently there are no suitable ecological and coenotic conditions for natural habitats of this species. Therefore, we believe that S. aquatica should be excluded from the Red Data Book of Ukraine.

Published: January 2025

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediating effects of growth mindset and life meaning on the relationship between female middle school students' perceived teacher support and school adjustment. For this purpose, data were collected from middle school girls enrolled in middle schools in J district, and 276 data were used in the final analysis. The research method utilized Jamovi 2.3.28 and Smart PLS 4.0. To evaluate the PLS model, we checked the reliability of convergent validity, discriminant validity, and internal consistency, and conducted a bootstrapping path analysis to test the effectiveness. The results showed that teacher support had a significant effect on growth mindset, life meaning, and school adjustment. Furthermore, growth mindset and meaning of life each had a significant effect on school adjustment. Second, both growth mindset and meaning in life had mediating effects on the relationship between teacher support and school adjustment. This study suggests that teacher support factors are important for middle school girls' adjustment to school life, and that the importance of growth mindset and meaning in life should be understood and supportive measures such as counseling, education, and program development should be developed to enhance them in school settings.
Exploration of effects of SSI program related to infectious diseases: Focus of high school students’perceptions on vaccination and health service
Authors:   res inst edu sci, Lee Jun Seok , Kim Sun Young
Published: January 2025

This study examined the high school students’perceptions on virus and vaccine after participating the SSI program related to infectious diseases. The SSI program consisted of eight topics dealing with issues, such as current status of vaccinations around the world, vaccine distribution issues, and etc. Students were engaged in the decision-making processes of socio-scientific issues related to vaccination and health services. The results indicated that after participating the SSI program, the students made decisions based on evidences rather than showing their indifference or vague trust. In addition, the semantic network analysis indicated that the centrality of the keyword of ‘reducing of the probability of infection with others’was the highest in the pretest, while the centrality of‘trust in domestic health service’ was the highest in the posttest. Before participating in the program, students had a high awareness of collective responsibility for preventing the spread of diseases through vaccination. On the other hand, after participating in the program, they became aware of the trustworthiness of domestic health services as a whole, such as the characteristics of health services and its implementation methods. School science education needs to develop problem-solving and decision-making capabilities by addressing social issues related to science, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Authors:   res inst edu sci, Park Hyoung-ran
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore problems and improvement measures related to teaching and learning in the expression domain by identifying the teaching and learning plan aimed at in the national curriculum and the teaching and learning plan actually implemented in the field, focusing on the expression domain. To achieve the purpose of the study, a convenience sample was extracted from twenty-seven middle schools in S City, and the contents of the teaching and learning detailed plan in the 2024 school year teaching and learning and evaluation plan were analyzed by grade. In order to secure the validity of the study, a sports expert committee was formed, and the collected data were nominally scaled and descriptive statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS24.0. The results of this study was as follows: First, teaching and learning activities in the competition domain were very high in all 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades of middle schools in the 2024 school year, followed by health, challenge, expression, and safety domains. Second, the distribution of teaching and learning activities in the sub-domains of the expression domain showed that sports expression was very high, and teaching and learning activities in traditional and modern expression were very insufficient. Therefore, in the future, the issue of the expression domain should be emphasized more not only in the school field but also in the pre-service teacher education course, and the results of this study can contribute to establishing the value of the expression domain.

Published: January 2025

Flash floods continue to emerge as a serious and growing natural hazard for many communities worldwide, especially in areas affected by tropical storms. These floods damage critical infrastructure and severely strain economic resources, underscoring the urgent need for advanced flood prediction tools. This study presents an innovative integrated machine learning approach, BCMO-RF, which merges Balancing Composite Motion Optimization (BCMO) with Random Forest (RF) to map flash flood susceptibility. In the BCMO-RF approach, the RF algorithm is applied to develop the flash flood model, while BCMO is used to explore and optimize the model's parameters. The study concentrates on areas in Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, frequently impacted by flash floods. Accordingly, various geospatial data sources were utilized to compile a geodatabase comprising 2,540 flash flood locations and 12 influencing factors. The geodatabase served as the basis for training and validating the BCMO-RF model. Results show that the BCMO-RF model attained high prediction accuracy (93.7%), achieving a Kappa coefficient of 0.874 and an AUC score of 0.988, outperforming the Deep Learning model benchmark. The study finds that the BCMO-RF model is reliable for accurately mapping areas susceptible to flash floods.

Published: January 2025

Slope instability is a common geological hazard along mountainous roads in Vietnam, leading to significant damage to infrastructure, traffic disruptions, and loss of life. Predicting slope stability, typically quantified by the Factor of Safety (FS), is challenging due to the complex interactions between geotechnical, topographical, and environmental factors. This study aims to develop efficient and accurate models for predicting the FS of natural slopes using advanced machine learning techniques, including Gradient Boosting (GB), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Networks, Random Forest (RF), and AdaBoost (AB). 371 slope stability cases were used to create a comprehensive database for model training. Both geotechnical and topographical parameters were considered in the FS prediction process. The performance and reliability of these models were evaluated using standard metrics such as R², MAE, and MSE. The results demonstrated that all models exhibited satisfactory prediction capabilities, with the optimized GB model achieving the highest accuracy (R² = 0.975, MAE = 0.079, and RMSE = 0.120). Additionally, SHAP analysis was employed to assess the importance of input variables in predicting the FS. The findings revealed that slope ratio (X1), slope height (X2), and the number of steeps (X3) were the most influential parameters in the FS prediction.

Published: January 2025

The study aimed to investigate the influence of different gingival colors and abutment materials on the final color of peri-implant soft tissue. A total of 30-cylinder shaped specimens having 1.0- and 2.0-mm buccal thicknesses using five different gingivacolored composites [light pink (LP), dark pink (DP), orange (Or), brown (Br), and purple (Pr)] were prepared. Implants were placed straight into the center of cylinders and connected to abutments [Titanium (Ti) and Zirconia (Zr)]. Color parameters were assessed using a spectroradiometer. Color differences (ΔE*ab and ΔE00) were calculated and compared to 50:50% perceptibility (PT) and acceptability (AT) visual thresholds. Color variation data were statistically analyzed using 2-way analyses of variance followed by Tukey HSD tests (a=.05). Significantly higher ΔE*ab and ΔE00 values were recorded in LP and Or groups with 1.0 mm buccal thickness and Ti abutments (p<.05). Regardless of the thickness applied, all the gingival color groups with Zr abutment presented ΔE*ab and ΔE00 values below AT. The mean ΔE*ab value decreased as the gingiva thickness increased in the LP, DP, and Or groups with Ti abutments. Abutment material significantly affected the mean ΔE00 values in the groups of LP, DP, and Or with a buccal gingiva thickness of 1.0 mm (p<.05). Gingival color and abutment material was found to be effective on the final color of peri-implant soft tissue. However, further clinical research is required to confirm these findings.
“You Shall Be Holy”: A Reassessment of Israel’s Call to Holiness
Authors: Van Ee Joshua J.
Published: January 2025

The command “you shall be holy” (Lev 11:44, 45; 19:2; 20:7, 26; Num 15:40) figures into scholarly views on holiness and source criticism. It has been interpreted as evidence for a dynamic view of holiness and as implying that Israel is not presently holy but needs to become holy. The call for Israel to be holy has also been identified as a distinguishing feature of H, a posited strata within the Priestly source. In this article, I examine phrases in the priestly writings that contain verbal uses of קדש and predicate uses of both the nominal and adjectival forms of קדש to demonstrate that the parallel phrases to Israel’s call to holiness center on treating persons and things that are holy as holy, that is, according to God’s commands regarding their holiness. I also examine motive clauses that assume Israel’s present holiness. Thus, the call for Israel to be holy is not a command to make themselves holy but to act as holy, an exhortation to obedience, assuming their present holiness brought about by God through the exodus. Israel’s call to holiness does not imply a unique view of holiness; instead, Israel’s holiness, while distinct from the cultic holiness of the priests and the sanctuary, shares the same basic definition—a status of association with God with an accompanying standard to be kept.

Sideroflexin family genes in human diseases: an update
Authors: Li Benyi , Xu Haixia , Xiao Liang , Lin Lin , Li Meixiang
Published: January 2025

The Sideroflexin (SFXN) family consists of five mitochondrial membrane proteins, SFXN1 through SFXN5. These proteins were initially considered mitochondrial solute carriers, however, SFXN proteins are now recognized as crucial for various cellular functions, including iron uptake, redox balance, amino acid transporters, and metabolic regulation. These SFXN proteins have a highly conserved structure and are integral membrane proteins with multiple transmembrane helices, facilitating their role in transporting small molecules across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Although the precise structure varies slightly between family members, most SFXNs share a characteristic feature of four to six transmembrane domains. They are located primarily within the mitochondrial inner membrane. The genes encoding these proteins are widely conserved across eukaryotes, indicating their fundamental biological roles. SFXN1 is an iron importer, particularly for heme synthesis within the mitochondria. It facilitates the transport of serine and other amino acids that are precursors in metabolic pathways. Defects in SFXN1 function are associated with anemia and mitochondrial dysfunctions because of disrupted heme synthesis. SFXN2 is implicated in the modulation of iron homeostasis and likely contributes to redox balance, although its exact transport function is less defined. Dysregulation in SFXN2 gene expression was linked to iron overload disorders and oxidative stress-related diseases, potentially impacting neurodegenerative conditions. SFXN3 is similar in function to SFXN1 but may have a more prominent role in amino acid metabolism within neurons. Alterations in SFXN3 function are associated with neurological disorders, potentially affecting conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. SFXN4 supports one-carbon metabolism by facilitating serine transport, which is essential for nucleotide synthesis and cellular growth. Mutations in SFXN4 have been implicated in mitochondrial disease. SFXN5 gene is the least characterized of the SFXN family, it likely plays a role in iron homeostasis and amino acid transport based on homology to other family members. SFXN1-SFXN4 genes were associated with the disease progression of multiple human cancers and exerted a strong potential for predicting patient outcomes as either a favorite or unfavorite prognostic factor.
Interpretativno promatranje filma katastrofe XXI veka iz antropološke perspektive
Authors: Tomašević Milan
Published: January 2025

Film katastrofe poseduje jasnu žanrovsku formulu i narativne konvencije koje su stabilne skoro čitav vek i koje na izuzetan način manifestuju različite društvene anksioznosti. Međutim, tokom druge decenije XXI veka evidentan je određeni transfer konvencija i klišea filma katastrofe koji se sve više koriste u drugim žanrovima. U tom pomeranju i upotrebi imaginarijuma destrukcije i zadovoljstva prizorima kataklizmi, moguće je potražiti refleksije tenzija i društvenih promena kroz koje prolazi savremeno društvo Zapada. Najširi kontekst u koji će ta promena biti smeštena jeste kultura straha, kao specifičan interpretativni okvir u kome katastrofe, sekularni apokaliptični imaginarijum i end times narativi imaju ulogu dekonstrukcije, ali i rekonstrukcije, trenutnih kulturno-političkih poredaka i ideoloških matrica.
Why Interactions Between Things and Subjects Matter: On the Explanatory Power of the New Material Culture Studies
Authors: Berta Peter
Published: January 2025

The article aims to provide an insight into the analytical approach that has emerged over the last four decades, known as new material culture studies. The first section, drawing primarily on the overviews by Miller (1994a) and Buchli (2002a), delineates the most important stages and turns of the interest of social sciences in material culture. The second section enumerates some of the distinguishing features characterizing (most of) the research projects that adopt this analytical approach, with a special focus on material agency (how do things construct subjects?), objectification, as well as the perspectives of things-in-motion and things-in-process (Domańska 2006). The third section highlights some of the main directions of the problem sensitivity that is at the heart of new material culture studies (concentrating, among other issues, on the nature of the boundary between subjects and things, the social constructions of authenticity, the politics of style, taste, and aesthetics, as well as the complex relationship between things and memory). Finally, the last section describes how the biographical method has gained such popularity in recent decades among researchers committed to this analytical approach and reveals the reasons for its explanatory power.
The Voicing and Silencing of Ethnicity and the Notion of ‘Resistance’ in the Struggle for Ethnic Recognition. From the Slovenian Minority in Trieste to Quechua Indigenous Communities in the Peruvian Andes
Authors: Tonet Martina
Published: January 2025

This article reflects upon the meaning of ‘resistance’ in the struggle and pursuit of ethnic recognition against racial discrimination. The making and the preservation of ethnicity is a complex phenomenon as not all ethnic groups employ their cultural and language heritage to resist domination. The process of maintaining a distinctive ethnic identity is not a straightforward matter, especially when we consider the long-lasting racist legacy in post-colonial societies. Our analysis of this topic will begin in the context of the Slovenian ethnic minority in Italy and continue in Peru, among Quechua indigenous communities in the Andes. The main variable the paper will focus on is the disruptive power of race, which in the case of the Peruvian Andean communities has made Quechua ethnicity a controversial field of studies fuelled with discrimination and the inherent disavowal of the indigenous Other. The intricacies of this phenomenon will be explored to shed light on the reasons why Quechua indigenous communities in this Latin American region have not claimed their ethnicity in the pursuit of identity affirmation against racial domination.
Infrastruktura kao kriza i nasilje – etnografije neizvjesnosti i zabrinutost u Kosinjskoj dolini
Authors: Potkonjak Sanja
Published: January 2025

Rad se bavi infrastrukturnim projektom izgradnje akumulacijskoga jezera HES Kosinj, koji promišlja kao primjer razvojnoga nasilja i dominacije. Koristeći se uvidima etnografije infrastrukture i razvoja, rad želi odgovoriti na pitanja kako je infrastrukturna izgradnja na području Kosinjske doline generirala neizvjesnost i zabrinutost u lokalnoj zajednici. U radu se razmatraju različiti tipovi diskurzivne mobilizacije kojom se artikuliraju negativni društveni učinci infrastrukturnoga zahvata. Oni pokazuju da razvoj ima svoje naličje, koje se iskazuje u proizvodnji društvenih konflikata i reprodukciji asimetričnih odnosa između centra i periferije, države i lokalne zajednice. Rad se temelji na etnografskom istraživanju sa zajednicom, koje uključuje razgovore, sudjelovanje u prosvjednim aktivnostima i važnim javnim događanjima u društvenom kalendaru zajednice.
The Non-Human World in The Japanese Earthquakes: From The Mythical Cause to The Real Victims
Authors: Kuraica Vesna
Published: January 2025

Japan has always been prone to earthquakes, as the country is located in a zone of high seismic activity known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. The unique Japanese sense of nature, which is also part of national tradition, stands alongside the constant threat of earthquakes from ancient times to the present. This paper will analyze the occurrence of earthquakes in Japan, emphasizing the relationship between nature, non-human world and humanity, and their representations in mythology and folklore, with reference to the most recent devastating earthquake, the Fukushima disaster (2011).
