The Twenty-Second Amendment and the Limits of Presidential Tenure
Authors: Gold Martin B.
Published: November 2024

For nearly a century and a half, Americans lived by a powerful tradition in which no President served more than two terms. Then came Franklin Delano Roosevelt, restricted by custom but not by law, who won a third term in 1940 and a fourth in 1944. Believing that the broken norm would be breached again, the Republican-controlled eightieth Congress acted to restore it, passing a constitutional change in 1947 to formalize an absolute limit on presidential tenure.

Ratified in 1951, the Twenty-second Amendment created a lame-duck out of every two-term incumbent since Truman and has had an enormous effect on the institution of the Presidency, public policy, and national politics. Critics believe the Amendment diminishes the presidential office; however, Martin B. Gold contends it serves to maintain checks and balances central to the American Constitution while examining Presidents and term limits, from the spirited debates in the Constitution Convention, the role of custom in an unwritten Constitution, and the Twenty-second Amendment itself.
Syrian Forced Migration and Public Health in the European Union
Authors: Crudo Blackburn Christine , Lenze, Jr. Paul E.
Published: November 2024

This book highlights the elements of armed conflict that cause the re-emergence of infectious disease in conflict-affected countries and how the breakdown of public health infrastructure within a country leads to public health challenges for those in countries hosting displaced persons. By examining the connection between destruction of public health infrastructure in Syria, the re-emergence of previously controlled infectious diseases, and the impact of the Syrian forced migration on the EU, this book recommends targeted policies that the EU should enact for more effective protection of health for displaced persons and the host population.
Psychopathology and Religion
Authors: Janus Damian
Published: November 2024

In this book, Damian Janus examines the connections between psychopathological phenomena and religion. Janus contends that there are certain factors—fear of death, desire for power and longevity, and need for predictability of life and longing for care—which reside within the framework of religion and mental disorders. These factors shapethe psychopathological image and contribute to the genesis of religiosity. He explores this contention in his analysis of various mental disorders (neuroses, personality disorders, dissociative disorders, psychoses, eating disorders) and symptoms (delusions, hallucinations, self-destructive behaviors), as well as more common psychological phenomena.This book is recommended for scholars of psychology, religion, and philosophy as well as psychotherapists.

Authors: Boudagh Shabnam , Pouraliakbar Hamid Reza , Maleki Majid , Norouzi Zeinab , Mahmoudian Zahra , Bayat Fatemeh , Mazloomzadeh Saeideh
Published: November 2024

Background: Aortic aneurysms are dilatations of the aorta that carry a potential risk of rupture. The most common type is the abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), while thoracic aortic aneurysms, particularly those in the ascending part, are also significant. Perivascular adipose tissue is an ectopic fat that affects vessels locally by producing bioactive substances. Additionally, central obesity is associated with local aortic diseases. Objectives: The current study aimed to measure periaortic adipose tissue and evaluate its association with the indexed aortic diameter based on multidetector computed tomography (CT) scan findings. Methods: This retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary center for cardiovascular diseases, continually recruiting 149 patients who had indications for thoracic and abdominal CT angiography. Patients with serious underlying diseases were excluded. The diameters of the aorta and adipose tissue, as well as Body Mass Index, were measured. Data analysis was performed using chi-square, Fisher exact, independent t-test, and Mann–Whitney test with SPSS software, version 16. Comparisons were performed using chi-square or Fisher exact tests for categorical variables, independent t-test for normally distributed data, and Mann–Whitney test for non-normally distributed data. Results: The study population consisted of 149 patients. The prevalence rates of thoracic aortic aneurysm and AAA were 8.7% and 24.8%, respectively. The prevalence of AAA was significantly higher in males (P = 0.025). Patients with AAA and an abdominal aortic diameter exceeding 30 mm were significantly older than the others (P = 0.003). There was a significant correlation between the fat volume around the aorta and the aortic diameter (P < 0.001, r = 0.504). Additionally, significant relationships were found between age and fat volume around both the thoracic and abdominal aorta (P < 0.001 and P < 0.007, r = 0.379 and r = 0.222, respectively), and between body mass index and fat volume around the abdominal aorta (P = 0.044, r = 0.165). Conclusions: The correlation between the volume of periaortic fat tissue and aortic aneurysms was significant in both the thoracic and abdominal aortae. The volume of periaortic fat in AAA was correlated with indexed values, unlike in thoracic aortic aneurysms. In candidates for aortic CT angiography, meticulous measurement of periaortic adipose tissue provides additional valuable data for optimal management.

Samuel Pellionis als Dialektdichter
Authors: Hevesi Vašinová Tajana
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to explore the extent to which the work of the German dialect poet Samuel Pellionis (1870–1953) from the language enclave region Spiš (Ger. Zips) in Eastern Slovakia fits into or corrects the traditional view of dialect literature. In the first half of the 20th century, German dialect literature was dominated by an effort to depict the ideal rural homeland. However, it was mainly written by academically educated poets who often lived in cities. Samuel Pellionis was a shoemaker without a higher academic education who did not adhere to the standards of traditional dialect literature. Instead of only using the dialect to depict a stereotypical rural environment (parallelism), Pellionis wrote about topics such as the two world wars, politics, or a desire to flee his homeland, which is a deviation from the norm. The article furthermore questions the criteria that poets and literary scholars of the past used to determine whether someone could be considered a poet (instead of being regarded just as an uneducated “rhymer”).
ЄВРОПЕЙСЬКИЙ КОНТЕКСТ ТВОРЧОСТІ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ПИСЬМЕННИКІВ-СИМВОЛІСТІВ (ТЕОРЕТИКО-НАВЧАЛЬНІ МАТЕРІАЛИ)
Authors: Косінова Оксана
Published: November 2024

Мета статті: продемонструвати важливість ознайомлення студентів педагогічних і філологічних спеціальностей із творчістю українських письменників- символістів; обґрунтувати європейський контекст творчості М. Вороного, П. Тичини, О. Олеся через класифікацію літературно-критичних та теоретичних підходів щодо засадничих понять музичності творів вищезазначених письменників; визначити музично- жанрові трансформації поетичних текстів.
Методи дослідження: для досягнення мети дослідження використано комплекс загальнонаукових методів: порівняльно-історичний та інтермедіальний методи, елементи структурно-семіотичної, рецептивної та феноменологічної естетики, психоаналізу та інтертекстуальності.
Наукова новизна. У статті узагальнено й оприявлено результати дослідження нерозривного взаємозв’язку творчості європейськийх письменників-символістів та українських митців; обґрунтовано використання музично-символістської стратегії у творчості українських письменників як універсальний принцип творчості; окреслено роль мовно-виражальних засобів як чинника інтермедіальності.
Висновки. З появою символізму в європейській і у світовій літературі розпочався період найрізноманітніших «ізмів», яких з часом можна було перелічувати десятками. Проте символізм довгий час залишався головним. У системі модернізму значно більше, ніж будь-коли раніше, приділялась увага звуковій організації мови, про що свідчить знамените висловлювання Верлена. У роботі простежено музичні мотиви у творах та перекладах яскравих українських митців: М. Вороного, П. Тичини та О. Олеся. Орієнтовані на музичне світосприйняття, їхні твори та переклади поезій французьких символістів сприяли входженню українського поетичного слова до європейського простору. Осмислення музично-символістської складової творів українських поетів сприятиме опануванню теоретико-понятійного апарату з курсів гуманітарного циклу студентами педагогічних і філологічних спеціальностей.

У статті досліджено економічну сутність власного капіталу підприємства, що є необхідним для правильного обліку фінансової діяльності та оцінки фінансового стану. Визначення економічної сутності власного капіталу також допомагає управляти фінансами підприємства, приймати рішення про розподіл прибутку, визначення дивідендів для акціонерів або збільшення статутного капіталу. Загальна класифікація власного капіталу включає різні типи акцій, резервні фонди, нерозподілений прибуток або збиток, а також інші категорії капіталу. Наведено основні види власного капіталу підприємства. Акціонерний капітал - власний капітал, що формується за рахунок емісії акцій та внесків акціонерів. Резервний капітал - це частина прибутку підприємства, яка утримується та використовується для покриття можливих збитків чи інших цілей. Нерозподілений прибуток - це частина прибутку, яка не була розподілена серед акціонерів у вигляді дивідендів і залишається у підприємстві для подальшого розвитку. Статутний капітал - це сума, яку підприємство має мати як капітал відповідно до статутом підприємства. Цільовий капітал – кошти, які підприємство має намір використати для конкретних цілей, таких як інвестиції у нові проекти чи обладнання. Додатковий капітал – кошти, які можуть бути залучені підприємством для додаткового фінансування своєї діяльності, наприклад, за рахунок емісії нових акцій чи облігацій. Визначення економічної сутності власного капіталу дозволяє правильно оцінювати фінансовий стан підприємства, враховувати різні види капіталу та їх джерела, а також забезпечити точну інформацію для ухвалення управлінських рішень.

This research discusses integrating wasaṭiyyah values into the curriculum of modern Islamic boarding schools in Central Sulawesi. This research examines two problems, namely wasaṭiyyah values incorporated in the modern Islamic boarding school curriculum and the approach used in integrating these wasaṭiyyah values. This research uses a qualitative case study method. The data was collected through direct food observations, in-depth interviews with several informants, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach that focused on the main themes that emerged during data analysis. The research findings reveal that wasaṭiyyah values are integrated with both Islamic boarding schools based on the values developed by the Indonesian Ulema Council. These values include Tawassuṭ, Tawāzun, I'tidāl, Tasāmuḥ, Musāwāh, Shūrā, Islāh, Awlawiyyah, Taṭawwur wa ibtikār, and Tahaddur. The integration process also includes other values related to the five soul values that underlie the life of the two Islamic boarding schools. Integrating wasaṭiyyah values in the two Islamic boarding schools was done through a contributive-cultural, integrated-intra-curricular, textual-additive, and contextually applicable approach. Wasaṭiyyah values are integrated into the curriculum through the Prescribed/intended curriculum, also called the core curriculum and Hidden Curriculum. Site 1 (Modern Darussalam Gontor Campus 11 Ittihadul Ummah Poso) adds the Tested curriculum type. The theoretical implication of this research is a deeper understanding of the interaction between tradition and modernity in Islamic education, especially in modern Islamic boarding schools.
Dignity in Human Development Motivation
Authors:   University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Ho Chi Minh City, Thao To Thi Bich
Published: November 2024

Trust is the foundation of life and is proven through practice. Trust in oneself and in each other is a valuable intangible asset of humanity, clearly demonstrated through material values such as money. True dignity must come from the comprehensive development of human beings. Otherwise, distorted standards such as dependence, possession and falsehood will appear, leading to human suffering. Economic relations come from basic human needs. Needs are the driving force for action. Therefore, true dignity must serve human existence and development. In addition, trust can be measured tangibly through material values, needs come from human nature and interests are the driving force for action. True dignity is closely linked to the needs of the community. Trust is demonstrated through practice, needs are necessary, the basis of interests, the driving force for development. Particularly painful is the belief in norms that are not based on human nature and no longer require dignity.

Published: November 2024

This study discusses the management of the characters' psyche towards the problems of love and religion in novels whose titles are explicitly about love, namely Ayat-Ayat Cinta 1 (2004), Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1 (2007), Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 2 (2007), Bumi Cinta (2010), Cinta Suci Zahrana (2011), Ayat-Ayat Cinta 2 (2015). The purpose of the study is to reveal the representation of the religiosity of the characters through the personality structure and dynamics of the characters' personalities in Habiburrahman El Shirazy's novels. The results of the analysis show that the characters Fahri (Ayat-Ayat Cinta 1 and 2), Azzam (Ketika Cinta Bertasbih 1 and 2), Ayyas (Bumi Cinta), Zahrana (Cinta Suci Zahrana) manage their personality structure and dynamics to win the superego. Characters with a dominant superego tend to understand religion, practice their beliefs well, and are consequently able to live peacefully with other people and other religions.

Published: November 2024

Clean water is one of the important aspects that must be prioritized in urban planning. The higher the standard of living of the community, the need for clean water will also increase. However, the fulfillment of adequate clean water needs in Supiori Regency is still not optimal. Based on the Minister of Public Works Regulation No. 14/2010, the coverage of drinking water services in Supiori Regency is classified as poor, with a clean water service level of less than 50%. Optimization efforts are needed to optimize and distribute clean water services in Supiori Regency meet the target of clean water services and create a sustainable community life. The research method uses three types of analysis. First, the ratio of clean water services in the settlements of Supiori Regency was analyzed using a calculation method that refers to the standard of clean water needs and availability. Second, the analysis of clean water services was conducted based on community perceptions. Third, this study analyzed the factors that influence clean water services using multiple linear regression. Descriptive analysis was used to identify optimization steps. The results showed that the ratio of clean water services in South Supiori District only reached 30.38%, while in East Supiori District, it was lower, at 19.78%. Based on community perceptions, 93% of the population in South Supiori District and 75% in East Supiori District have not used the Water Supply System. Regression analysis shows that in Supiori Selatan District, factors affecting clean water services include pipe distance, community participation, and number of family members. In East Supiori District, the influencing factors are pipe distance, management, and maintenance of clean water. So, there are optimization efforts that can be done, among others, through mapping services based on regional conditions. For areas that are difficult to reach by SPAM services, the community can utilize the nearest water source to meet their clean water needs independently.

Alternative Learning Paradigms for Image Quality Transfer
Authors: Eldaly Ahmed Karam , Figini Matteo , Alexander Daniel C.
Published: November 2024

Image Quality Transfer (IQT) aims to enhance the contrast and resolution of low-quality medical images, e.g. obtained from low-power devices, with rich information learned from higher quality images. In contrast to existing IQT methods in the literature which adopt supervised learning frameworks, in this work, we propose two novel formulations of the IQT problem. The first approach uses an unsupervised learning framework, whereas the second is a combination of both supervised and unsupervised learning. The unsupervised learning approach considers a sparse representation (SRep) and dictionary learning model, which we call IQT-SRep, whereas the combination of supervised and unsupervised learning ap- proach is based on deep dictionary learning (DDL), which we call IQT-DDL. The IQT-SRep approach trains two dictionaries using a sparse representation model using pairs of low- and high-quality volumes. Subsequently, the sparse representation of a low-quality block, in terms of the low-quality dictionary, can be directly used to recover the corresponding high-quality block using the high-quality dictionary. On the other hand, the IQT-DDL ap- proach explicitly learns a high-resolution dictionary to upscale the input volume, while the entire network, including high dictionary generator, is simultaneously optimised to take full advantage of deep learning methods. The two models are evaluated using a low-field mag- netic resonance imaging (MRI) application aiming to recover high-quality images akin to those obtained from high-field scanners. Experiments comparing the proposed approaches against state-of-the-art supervised deep learning IQT method (IQT-DL) identify that the two novel formulations of the IQT problem can avoid bias associated with supervised meth- ods when tested using out-of-distribution data that differs from the distribution of the data the model was trained on. This highlights the potential benefit of these novel paradigms for IQT.

Los estudios abarcan iniciativas como centros de salud mental en Guelph, programas de educación emocional en Auckland y prácticas culturales en comunidades indígenas en Australia, revelando mejoras significativas en la salud mental y la cohesión social. Se observaron reducciones en síntomas de depresión y ansiedad, así como aumentos en la satisfacción laboral y la conexión comunitaria. La discusión enfatiza la importancia de adaptar las intervenciones a las necesidades locales y culturales, destacando que un enfoque colaborativo puede generar un impacto positivo duradero en la resiliencia de las comunidades. Las conclusiones confirman que integrar diferentes enfoques y contextos es crucial para el éxito de las iniciativas de bienestar emocional, sugiriendo que futuras investigaciones deben explorar nuevas intervenciones y considerar cómo estas estrategias pueden ser implementadas en otros contextos.

Examining the Impact of Effective Communication on the Organisational Performance of the Public Relations Association of Uganda (PRAU)
Authors:   Department of Mass Communication, Kampala International University, Uganda, Owen Robert
Published: November 2024

This article examines the impact of effective communication on the organizational performance of the public relations association of Uganda. The study’s findings suggest that effective communication is crucial for the organization’s success. Effective communication is valuable because it allows staff to understand the organization’s goals and how they are involved in achieving them. Based on the findings, the study calls for the development of a more effective communication system in every organization. The system of allowing every employee to get involved in the communication process is productive. It fosters a sense of belonging and value among employees within the organisation. The employees are therefore given the opportunity. This gives the employees the motivation to work harder. Furthermore, the organization should implement a feedback mechanism, as it is the sole means of gauging the effectiveness of its communication system. Moreover, it’s crucial to implement a policy that routes all written correspondence through the public relations department, ensuring it’s comprehensible for all employees. This is crucial because incomprehensible technical information holds no value for those who lack understanding. Finally, a key ingredient to developing effective communication in any organisation is for each person to take responsibility to assert when they do not understand a communication or to suggest when and how someone could communicate more effectively with them. Keywords: Effective communication, Employee, Employer, Organizational performance, public relations.

Do new perspectives become more shocking the further you get through life?  Unsettling?  Like having a carpet yanked out from under you?  Probably by somebody who is rightly reminding you that you’ve had that carpet since around 1977 and it’s really about time you bought a new one. That happened to me this week. Thanks to a podcast. The podcast in question is called ITC Entertained the World and I think it’s rather brilliant.

Navigating Unutilized Tax Losses in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei
Authors: Ooi V.
Published: November 2024

Many tax systems allow unutilized tax losses to be carried forward or back to a different tax basis period or transferred to a different entity in a group of companies (known as group relief). Despite sharing a common tax heritage, the tax systems of Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei now treat the shifting of unutilized tax losses quite differently. This article analyses in detail the differences in tax treatment across these jurisdictions, with a focus on how their loss-shifting mechanisms operate and the safeguards implemented to protect the tax base. For example, both Singapore and Malaysia have a “shareholding test”, while Malaysia places considerable restrictions on the claiming of group relief. Notably, Singapore permits the carrying back of losses, but with such restrictive conditions that there might be little practical impact. The article considers how jurisdictions can balance making the tax system attractive to businesses while safeguarding the tax base.
Semblanza de Francisco Rubio Llorente

Francisco Rubio no sólo fue un constitucionalista teórico, sino también práctico. Como secretario general del Congreso de los Diputados durante los años 1978 y 1979 ejerció un protagonismo indudable en su organización y funcionamiento como cámara democrática durante la Transición y el proceso constituyente; como magistrado, y después Presidente del Tribunal Constitucional, ejerció un papel clave en la conformación y desarrollo de este importante órgano constitucional. Su obra intelectual no solo pone las bases del moderno Derecho constitucional, contribuye de manera decisiva a forjar una escuela formada en torno a su figura caracterizada por rigor en el conocimiento, espíritu crítico en los debates, tolerancia sin ningún tipo de sectarismo, y, por supuesto, independencia de criterio.
