The Glorification of Violent Discipline and its Meaning -Focused on “Hyŏnssiyangungssangnin’gi” and “Hyŏnmongssangnyonggi”-
Authors:   The Society Of Korean Literature, Hwang Jihyun
Published: December 2024

This study attempted to grasp the reality of hierarchical patriarchy through violent discipline and its glorification process, focusing on Korean long-form novels, “Hyŏnssiyangungssangnin’gi” and “Hyŏnmongssangnyonggi”, in which ideal patriarchs appear. The physical punishment of parents has been affirmed as a hawk of love. Considering that there is still a perception that affirms violent discipline today, it is natural that corporal punishment was accepted naturally during the Joseon Dynasty. In both texts, corporal punishment is considered a legitimate punishment suitable for the procedure, and the bodies of those who were designated as sinners were thoroughly objectified. Furthermore, violent discipline was glorified as the right child education through various ways. First, justification was achieved by inserting various utterances affirming punishment behavior. Through this, the existence of the patriarch, the punishment and perpetrator, was naturally eliminated. On the other hand, the two texts highlighted the patriarch’s benevolence, and immediately after the corporal punishment, a joke was inserted to offset the violence of bloody corporal punishment. There has been a discussion that the strictness and benevolence of the patriarch conflict, but it should not be overlooked that the status of a genuine patriarch can only stand fully when the two elements coexist in one person. This can be an important starting point for understanding how patriarchy works. Through this glorification, harsh corporal punishment was accepted as natural, ordinary. On the other hand, through a series of processes of children’s disobedience, harsh corporal punishment, and glorification, the patriarch’s high authority was only able to become substantial in front of the family members. The command system, which moves in perfect order under the command of the patriarch, and the objectified body that is overpowered by it show the patriarch’s power to rearrange the order at the same time as a guardian of order. In terms of limiting the scope of the body and reaffirming its position, violent discipline creates a body under order. As a sinner, being asked to voluntarily make appropriate gestures is more than just blaming certain words and actions and preventing the recurrence of such actions. It encourages the person to re-enter the order on his own. In contrast, the patriarch’s body expanded dramatically at the very scene of corporal punishment as a canal of vertical order.
ANILAR ÜZERİNDEN ATATÜRK İMGESİ VE BİR KİMLİK İNŞASI

Hatırat/ anılar tarihsel veri olarak büyük bir önem taşımaktadır. İkinci gözün anlatımıyla üçüncü göze ulaşan bu bilgiler, doğruluğundan emin olunduğu takdirde derin tahliller ve analizler yapmak için oldukça mühim veriler sunmaktadır. Bu bakış açısı ile Mustafa Kemal’i anlamanın en iyi yollarından bir tanesi de onun yakınları tarafından yazılan hatırat ve anılarıdır.
Bu makalede Mustafa Kemal’in sahip olduğu bakış açısı, zekâsı ve hayatı kavrama şekli anılar üzerinden zekâ/reformist/cumhuriyet üçlemesi üzerinden hipotez kurularak anlatılmıştır. Dönemin ve zamanın şartlarını iyi okuyabilen ve bu şartlar içindeki bağları birbirine tamamlama yetisine sahip olan Mustafa Kemal’in ileri görüşlülüğü sayesinde, onun aslında Batı’yı ve Batı’daki gelişmeleri iyi anlamış bir gözlemci, bir asker ve bir lider olmaktan öte iyi bir zaman okuyucu olarak da öne çıkarmaktadır. Öyle ki bu durum onun yenilikçi, uygar, medeni ve reformist yapısını anlamamız için son derece mühimdir. Ancak bütün bu meziyetlerin total olarak bir anlam ifade etmesi onun sahip olduğu ruhsal doygunluğun bir otokrasi üzerinden değil de cumhuriyet üzerinden dışa vurumu şeklinde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu da Cumhuriyet üzerinden çağın ve dönemin gerekliliklerinin bir anlam bulması ve yaşam biçimi oluşturması anlamına gelmektedir.
Bu makale ile anılar üzerinden Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün karakter özellikleri, dönüştürücü liderliği ve Türk milletini çağdaşlaştırma hamleleri daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sunmak hedeflenmiştir.

The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of dietary supplementation of shrimp head and shell by-products on growth performance and incidence of diarhea in fattening pigs from August 2023 to October 2023 at the pig farm in Thoai Son district, An Giang province. A total of 90 crossbred pigs [(Duroc x Pietrain) x (Landrace x Yorkshire); 96 days old] were assigned to 1 of 3 treatments with 5 replicate pens of 6 pigs each according to sex, litter origin, and weight in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The 3 dietary treatments included (1) Basal diet (control), (2) Basal diet + 3 g/kg shrimp hydrolysate powder (SH) and (3) Basal diet + 10 g/kg shrimp heads and shells meal (SM). The results showed that there were no significant differences in the average body weight (BW) and average daily gain (ADG) among the 3 treatments (P > 0.05). Similarly, pigs fed the SH diet (2.99) and SM diet had the same feed conversion ratio (FCR) of pigs (P = 0.767) as those fed the control diet (3.04) during the whole period from 96 to 164 days of age. Furthermore, no significant differences (P > 0.05) were found in the average daily feed intake (ADFI) and the diarrhea incidence among the 3 treatments. Briefly, the results in the current study suggest that dietary supplementation of shrimp head and shell by-products (shrimp hydrolysate powder, or shrimp heads and shell meal) seem to have no positive effects on growth productivity (BW, ADG, ADFI and FCR) and incidence of diarrhea in fattening pigs during 96 - 164 days of age.

Published: December 2024

Agricultural bio-catalysis is of immense scientific interest due to its increasing importance in the efforts for more sustainable agriculture while optimizing environmental impacts. In our studies, native rice starch was hydrolyzed with various alpha-amylase concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% w/w of starch) at 50°C for 20 min; then purified by partial precipitation (PP) with organic solvents, or freeze-drying (FD) without further purification. The rice starch hydrolysates (RSH) produced by different methods (PP or FD) were determined for dextrose equivalent (DE), morphology, and some physicochemical properties including bulk density, moisture content, hygroscopicity, and water solubility. The results showed that at the same alpha-amylase treatment conditions, the RSH obtained by the PP method had lower DE values and production yields than those of RSH obtained by FD method. The FD-RSH had higher DE values, lower bulk densities and moisture contents, higher hygroscopicity and water solubility. In morphology, the PP-RSH (DE 10.2) had a larger particle size and more condensed microstructure compared to the FD-RSH of almost similar DE 13.5. These findings showed that the PP method resulted in lower-DE RSH with different morphological and physicochemical properties compared to those obtained by the FD method.

Persuasive Legal Writing Using Large Language Models
Authors: Curran Damian , Levy Inbar , Mistica Meladel , Hovy Eduard
Published: December 2024

Persuasive writing is an essential skill for a lawyer. Budding lawyers hone their persuasive writing skills during their studies, in part through essay-style examinations. However, Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently proved adept at a broad range of language tasks. They could undermine the utility of many existing forms of law school assessment by allowing students to generate essays artificially. This paper explores the extent to which those concerns are warranted.

This study first explores the constituent elements of persuasive legal writing and reviews the available literature on an LLM’s competence in each area. It then evaluates whether OpenAI’s powerful LLM, GPT-4, can produce essay-style answers to a post-graduate law school exam on legal theory. The GPT-4 output is compared to essays written by actual honors students by having them blind-graded by human graders using the subject’s examination rubric. The study finds that GPT-4 cannot match the honors students. Whilst it can produce essays which are of a passable grade, there are significant challenges producing higher quality content. The paper closes with observations about the experience, prompt engineering, LLM-bias and the technology’s implications for the legal profession.

Urban and Groundwater Microplastic Contamination: Sources, Distribution, Impacts, and Remediation Technologies
Authors: Hussain Noor Nafsiah Mohamad , Lopez-Martinez Flavio
Published: December 2024

The presence of microplastics (MPs) in urban environments and groundwater systems has garnered significant global attention due to the critical role groundwater plays as a primary freshwater source. This review paper aims to comprehensively examine the sources, distribution, movement, and environmental impact of MPs, particularly focusing on urban areas and groundwater contamination. Special emphasis is placed on MPs originating from landfill leachate and their distribution along Malaysia's beaches. The paper also discusses the movement patterns of MPs, providing mathematical models for their migration. The environmental and health impacts of MPs, including soil degradation, toxicity in agricultural crops, and heavy metal adsorption, are analyzed. Additionally, current remediation technologies such as reverse osmosis, microbial exploitation, and ozonation are evaluated, with recommendations for combining different methods to enhance MP removal effectiveness. The involvement of the general public, socio-economic sectors, tourism, and waste management companies is highlighted as crucial for addressing this pervasive issue.
Phytoremediation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons: An Update of Its Recent Progress
Authors: Tang Kuok Ho Daniel
Published: December 2024

Phytoremediation continues to play an important role in the remediation of soils contaminated with hydrocarbons, as demonstrated by the ongoing influx of research articles in this field. A review of the recent literature reveals that studies on phytoremediation continue to assess the effectiveness of both existing and new plant species, particularly in treating contaminated soils. Fertilization and soil amendments are commonly incorporated into these studies. There is significant interest in microbial-assisted phytoremediation and the optimization of phytoremediation with surfactants and root exudates. Phytoremediation using plants alone often encounters limited efficiency (<65% petroleum hydrocarbon removal). However, fertilization, soil amendments, and additives like root exudates can boost efficiency to slightly above 80%, particularly with compost. Microbial-assisted phytoremediation could further increase efficiency to more than 90%, depending on the microorganisms used. Endomycorrhizal fungi and Acinetobacter sp. Tust-DM21 appear to have pronounced enhancing effects on petroleum hydrocarbon removal. Combining and optimizing good agricultural practices, fertilization, soil amendments, additives, and microbial-assisted phytoremediation could enhance overall efficiency while improving plant growth, even in saline or highly contaminated soils. Research on phytoremediation of water contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons is significantly less prevalent. This review contributes to the identification of effective phytoremediation strategies and suggests that future research could focus on further exploring plant-microbe interactions to improve petroleum hydrocarbon removal. Artificial intelligence could also be incorporated to optimize factors that positively influence phytoremediation.
Ex-(Ec)centric Blooming of Names: Echoing Multilingual Layers of Names from Joyce’s Works to (South) Slavic Cultures
Authors: Đurić Mina
Published: December 2024

This paper aims to research the aspects of the transpositions of names from works by James Joyce in their (South) Slavic translations, as well as in texts written after the reading of Joyce’s prose in (South) Slavic countries. How do (South) Slavic translations maintain the ways of echoing the multilingual layers of the name in the title of Joyce’s Ulysses? Do these models of the transfer of polyphonic intertextuality of names in (South) Slavic cultures have a creative influence on further works that are conscious of the Homeric/Joyce paradigm in dialogues? How do the perspectives of the blooming of names from Joyce’s works in the (South) Slavic transformations open up new possibilities for interpreting the ex-(ec)centric echoes of the creative dialogues between the traditions of translations and their reflection on future studies? These are some of the points articulated in this paper to prove how even on the micro level of the names, the multilingual layers of globalization in the creative reception of one work depend on eccentric, authentic answers in the (ex-)centric cultural positions, especially when they emphasize that echoing Joyce’s works holds significant importance for their viewpoints.

O anticolonialismo internacionalista dos situacionistas
Authors: Quintas Corrêa Erick
Published: December 2024

The aim of this article is to refute the idea that the Situationist International was an organization insensitive to the colonial and anti-colonial question. To this end, it presents the Situationist notions of colonization and decolonization of everyday life in dialogue with the critical theory of the spectacle; it explores aspects of its opposition to the nationalist and statist principles that guided the liberation movements of his time, based on a defense of proletarian internationalism and its project of generalized self-management; and finally, it highlights the fundamental contribution of its non-European members to the development of the organization, as well as their positions on the liberation struggles in Algeria, Congo and Palestine.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma análise de como as atuais pesquisas entendem a relação da prática curricular com a criança e sua infância, para iniciarmos os levantamentos utilizamos algumas considerações teóricas referentes a criança, infâncias, suas particularidades e as práticas curriculares na Educação Infantil, tendo como principais referências Fochi (2020, 2019), Kramer (2006, 2020, 1997). Para concretização do estudo optamos pela investigação de dados no Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Pessoal de Nível Superior, verificando o que as atuais produções de conhecimento científico revelam, no período de 2017 a 2021. Os resultados apontam um número limitado de estudos relacionados às especificidades da criança, sua escuta e participação no processo de construção da prática curricular. Por esse motivo, expressarmos a necessidade de serem realizadas novas pesquisas, promovendo mudanças nas práticas curriculares, reconhecendo que as crianças têm vozes, experiências e saberes a serem reafirmados no processo de construção das práticas curriculares.
Disfagia funcional: doença funcional do parelho digestivo
Authors: Dantas Roberto Oliveira
Published: December 2024

Disfagia funcional é uma condição em que o paciente refere ter (dificuldade para deglutir), mas exames disponíveis não conseguem determinar anormalidades nos eventos relacionados à deglutição. É uma doença funcional do aparelho digestivo com baixa prevalência, mas que pode comprometer de maneira significativa a qualidade de vida do paciente. Sendo preservados a sequência e os tempos dos eventos da deglutição e a anatomia dos órgãos envolvidos, a possibilidade de o paciente ser hipersensível à percepção da passagem do bolo deglutido por boca, faringe e/ou esôfago deve ser considerada. Trabalhos recentes têm descrito que esses pacientes têm comprometimento da distensibilidade do esôfago para a passagem do bolo. Após a descrição detalhada do sintoma, da avaliação clínica e exame físico, que podem indicar a presença de doenças ou alterações relacionadas à disfagia, exames específicos devem ser realizados. Estes exames são a videofluoroscopia (para as fases oral, faríngea e esofágica da deglutição), seriografia de esôfago, endoscopia e manometria de faringe e esôfago, realizados com técnicas específicas para cada órgão e que dependem da percepção do possível local da dificuldade na passagem do bolo. Outros exames, como tomografia e ressonância magnética, podem ser realizados, de acordo com parecer da equipe de profissionais que cuidam desses pacientes. O tratamento deve ser organizado individualmente, com psicoterapia, tranquilizantes e um bom relacionamento terapeuta/paciente. Não deve ser esquecido que disfagia é um sintoma de alarme e pode ser consequente a doenças graves. Portanto, disfagia funcional deve ser o diagnóstico somente após exclusão de possíveis doenças causadoras do sintoma.

Authors: Lopes Aline Cristine Freire de Araújo , Lucena Luciana de Figueirêdo Lopes , Silva Diego Rodrigo Cabral
Published: December 2024

A Quarta Revolução Industrial, marcada pela convergência de tecnologias disruptivas, trouxe novas exigências ao mercado de trabalho, tornando o domínio de idiomas estrangeiros essencial para o sucesso profissional. No entanto, muitos adultos ainda enfrentam dificuldades para alcançar a fluência em línguas estrangeiras, especialmente em termos de comunicação eficaz com falantes nativos e não nativos. Este estudo apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de ensino voltada para adultos que encontram barreiras na comunicação em inglês, integrando abordagens ativas e naturais de aprendizagem. A metodologia utiliza o Design Thinking para identificar as necessidades desse público e oferece soluções adaptadas, enquanto a inteligência artificial é aplicada para personalizar o ensino, promovendo uma experiência de aprendizado mais acessível e orientada à autonomia do aluno. O objetivo é fornecer um método flexível que se ajuste a diferentes contextos e necessidades individuais, permitindo que os estudantes alcancem suas metas pessoais e profissionais. A proposta visa preencher as lacunas deixadas por abordagens tradicionais e promover um ensino mais prático e eficiente, ampliando as oportunidades educacionais e profissionais. Assim, espera-se que essa metodologia não apenas facilite a aquisição da fluência, mas também contribua para a democratização do acesso ao conhecimento de qualidade, atuando como uma ferramenta transformadora na sociedade.
Responding to Animal Suffering in Transit by Steam in 19th-Century Britain
Authors: Li Chien-Hui
Published: December 2024

In the 1830s and 1840s, animal transportation by rail and steamer gradually replaced traditional long-distance droving in Britain. Responding to the posthumanist calls for critical attention to the experience of nonhuman actors in history, this article first explores how each aspect of this new mode of transportation affected the bodily experience of the animals, including their embarkation, stowage, ventilation and other uses of equipment fitted on the vessel, the provision of care, and disembarkation. It then discusses how those people who were affected by witnessing the animals’ experience responded to it in light of two contributory factors: first, the outbreak of cattle plague in 1865 and, second, the growing calls for greater humanity to animals. In conclusion, the article summarizes the legislative advances that were made in pursuit of this humanitarian aim by reviewing the first and last pieces of relevant legislation that were passed prior to the First World War—the 1870 Transit of Animals Order and the 1912 Animals (Transit and General) Order. The article further illustrates how the simple logic of paying attention and responding to the experience of other lifeworlds helped establish the first milestones in animal transit legislation in the age of steam transport.

Exploring the “Image and Temperament” of Contemporary Figure Paintings
Authors: Jin Zichun
Published: December 2024

As one of the core propositions in the creation of Chinese paintings, the expression of “Image and temperament” not only runs through the development of traditional paintings, but also takes on a new significance in the creation of contemporary art. This paper will take “Image and temperament” as an entry point for an in-depth analysis of contemporary Figure Painting, exploring how Figure painters reinterpret this traditional proposition in terms of brush and ink language, form construction and spiritual expression in the context of contemporary culture and society. At the same time, this paper will also reveal the innovative understanding of the connotation of “Image and temperament” by contemporary figure painters, analyze its concrete embodiment in artistic concepts and technical practices, and how these changes respond to the diverse needs of contemporary art and the profound changes in the cultural context.

Authors: Acar Elif , Doğan Nurhan
Published: December 2024

Amaç: Bu çalışma yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan sepsis-septik şok tanılı hastaların hemşirelik yaklaşımıyla retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Retrospektif türdeki bu çalışma, 04.03.2020-04.03.2022 tarihleri arasında bir devlet hastanesinin 2. ve 3. basamak genel yoğun bakım ünitelerine yatan toplam 1462 bireyin dosya ve elektronik ortam kayıtlarının incelenmesi sonucu, sepsis-septik şok tanısı konularak takip edilen 192 hasta ile yürütülmüştür.
Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 71,27±16,65 olan bireylerin, sepsis mortalite oranı %32,3 iken septik şokta %67,7 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bireylerin %77,1’inin kronik hastalığa sahip olduğu, hastaların %89,4’ünün ventilatör desteği aldığı, %23,4’ünün daha önce sepsis kaynaklı yoğun bakım ünitesinde yattığı, %62,4’ünün 8-14 gün aralığında antibiyotik kullandığı, %57,9’unda enfeksiyon ajanının acinetobacter olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hastaların %31,5’inin SOFA skoru 12,1-16,0 aralığındadır. Sepsis-septik şok ile takip edilen hastaların %61,5’ine hipertermi, %54,7’sine hipotansiyon, %78,6’sına ise enfeksiyon bulaştırma riski ve %60,4’üne doku bütünlüğünde bozulma riski gibi hemşirelik tanıları konulduğu saptanmıştır. Hastaların %93,2’sine ortalama arter basıncının 65 mmHg üzerinde tutulması, %85,4’ünde enfeksiyon kaynağının belirlenmesi ve tedavisi, %83,6’sına uygun izolasyon yöntemlerinin başlatılması, %82,8’ine ise vücut ısısının normal aralıkta tutulmasına yönelik hemşirelik girişimi uygulanmıştır.
Sonuç: Araştırmada septik şok tanılı hastalarda mortalite oranının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sepsiste erken tanılama ve kanıta dayalı uygulamaların sepsis ilişkili sağkalım oranlarını arttıracaktır. Bu nedenle hemşirelik hizmetlerinin sunumu sepsis yönetiminde oldukça önemlidir.
