Introduction

Healthcare professionals’ shortage, low job satisfaction, high levels of burnout, and excessive staff turnover are some of the challenges health systems face worldwide. In Switzerland, healthcare stakeholders have called to address the health workforce crisis and have pointed out the scarcity of data on the conditions of healthcare professionals (HCPs). Hence, the Swiss Cohort of Healthcare Professionals and Informal Caregivers (SCOHPICA) was developed to study the career trajectories, well-being, intention to stay in or leave the position/profession/health sector, and their determinants, of HCPs and informal caregivers, respectively. This paper describes the protocol for the HCPs cohort of SCOHPICA and discusses its implications.

Methods

SCOHPICA is a prospective open cohort using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. All types of HCPs working directly with patients and practicing in Switzerland are eligible, irrespective of their healthcare setting and employment status. Baseline and annual follow-up electronic surveys will take place once a year, featuring both core questions and modules developed according to information needs. While outcome variables are HCPs’ trajectories, well-being, intention to stay in or leave the position/profession/health sector, independent variables include organizational, psychosocial, and psychological determinants, as well as occupational (professional) and sociodemographic factors. The qualitative phase will be organized every two years, inviting participants who agreed to take part in this phase. The findings from quantitative analyses, along with the issues raised by healthcare stakeholders in the field, will guide the topics investigated in the qualitative phase.

Discussion

Using innovative methodologies, SCOHPICA will gather nationwide and longitudinal data on HCPs practicing in Switzerland. These data could have numerous implications: promoting the development of research related to HCPs’ well-being and retention intentions; supporting the development of policies to improve working conditions and career prospects; contributing to the evolution of training curricula for future or current healthcare professionals; aiding in the development of health systems capable of delivering quality care; and finally, providing the general public and stakeholders with free and open access to the study results through an online dashboard.

Authors: Bhosle Madhuri
Published: August 2024

Animation captivates viewers with its visual storytelling, fostering creativity, delivering entertainment, and imparting knowledge. It influences culture, media and education, shaping our perception of the world. Animation films are popular for their engaging narratives, well-developed characters and cultural significance. Character design in animated films can embody a brand’s essence, transcend cultural boundaries and influence behavior. The rising prominence of animation in global media significantly impacts children’s learning and creativity. Japanese anime, in particular, has gained a strong foothold in various markets, including India, shaping the animation landscape. This study explores anime’s growing influence on character design among Indian animation students, assessing their character design process and awareness of Indian animation. Surveys and interviews with students, faculty and industry professionals reveal anime’s impact on students’ creative projects and the limited awareness of Indian animation. The study emphasizes the need for further research to understand anime’s influence on students’ artistic styles.

Espacios educativos innovadores: arquitectura, arte y naturaleza en el proceso de la excelencia de la
Authors: Campos Calvo-sotelo Pablo
Published: August 2024

La educación es un acto espacial, afectivo y colectivo. En consecuencia, la innovación en la educación está estrechamente ligada con la calidad de sus edificios y espacios asociados. Estos principios apoyan una idea trascendental: los valores culturales y artísticos de un campus (arquitectura, naturaleza, obras de arte) deben ser proyectados internamente y externamente como paradigmas para la comunidad universitaria y la sociedad en general, ya que tienen el potencial para enriquecer a docentes y procesos de aprendizaje. Los planificadores encargados de la concepción de cualquier campus deben ser conscientes de la trascendencia de tal misión. Es necesario subrayar el papel clave que los espacios físicos tienen que jugar en la evolución de las universidades a la innovación, cuando reciban el contacto humano necesario para lograr la verdadera misión de las universidades: la formación integral del ser humano. El diseño de cualquier futura sede de la Universidad debe ser impulsado por un objetivo de excelencia; para tal propósito fundamental, este trabajo traza la innovadora filosofía «Educational Campus», como una herramienta conceptual y operativa para promover la modernización de las universidades; como paradigma moderno, se puede aplicar para alentar y orientar los procesos de transformación positiva de las Instituciones de Educación Superior. En realidad, este modelo de modernización emergente ha sido utilizado por el Ministerio de Educación español en su programa «Campus de Excelencia Internacional» desde su primera edición en 2009.

Published: August 2024

A gestão da diversidade da cor da pele (racismo), para alçar novos rumos, precisa de mudanças culturais e cognitivas nos processos administrativos a fim de dirimir dificuldades no processo de recrutamento e políticas de gestão de pessoas; valorização da família; reorganização da política de cargos e salários; grupos de discussão; transparência nos processos de recrutamento para reconhecimento e efetivação da diversidade. Diante disso, objetiva-se no presente trabalho tratar sobre as pessoas negras em cargos de liderança, ponderando-se e problematizando a importância da inclusão, neste sentido, a metodologia utilizada trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de ordem qualitativa, embasada em autores que discorrem sobre o tema. Conclui-se que profissionais negros muitas vezes sentem-se limitados na oportunidade de expressar os seus valores ou de se dedicarem integralmente ao trabalho, devido a culturas organizacionais pouco acolhedoras. Este fenômeno tem consequências para as organizações que perdem líderes negros de elevado potencial com perdas em liderança, eficácia, cultura empresarial e vantagem competitiva que acompanha diversas perspectivas.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Socio-emotional competencies in face-to-face communication are an essential tool for personal and social adjustment from an early age. Online communication has become equally important, especially in adolescence. It is known that its characteristics require specific skills, but there is a lack of studies that analyse the relationship that exists between generally acquired socio-emotional skills and those necessary for online communication. Hence, this research is focused on analysing how offline socio-emotional skills predict these online competencies in girls and boys in a differentiated way. Method: This study included 478 Secondary Education students between 10 and 14 years of age. This is a cross-sectional study that used Path Analysis differentiated by sex, with intentional and non-probabilistic sampling. To assess socio-emotional competencies, we used the ESCQ-21 instrument for generally assessed socio-emotional competencies and the e-COM questionnaire to quantify online socio-emotional competencies. Results: The explanatory model indicates that socio-emotional competencies are partially transferred to the online environment in both sexes, especially Perception and comprehension. Furthermore, it is suggested that E-self-control of impulsiveness and E-emotional autonomy require specific development in that environment. Conclusions: It seems reasonable to include online experiences that encourage development in online spaces. The repercussions for the educational field are analysed.

Published: August 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a experiência da Terapia Comunitária Integrativa no cotidiano das mulheres usuárias da atenção básica em saúde, considerando os pressupostos dela a partir de uma pesquisa realizada na periferia do município de Fortaleza, no ano de 2022, com 13 mulheres participantes do grupo de Terapia Comunitária Integrativa de uma unidade básica de saúde. Os dados foram coletados em duas oficinas, gravados e receberam tratamento com uso da técnica da análise de conteúdo do tipo temático-estrutural. Foi percebido que a felicidade e o bem-estar foram os conteúdos mais presentes nas falas das mulheres. Uma possível explicação para esses achados é que, ao se sentirem apoiadas, acolhidas e cuidadas, as participantes experimentaram com maior intensidade esses sentimentos. Os relatos individuais se entrelaçam e potencializam sentimentos conciliadores, fortalecendo o coletivo das participantes no contexto social. De certo, a Terapia Comunitária Integrativa não aponta soluções para todas as situações de conflitos, porém, ressignifica, encoraja e oferece mais autonomia para lidar com muitos dos seus dilemas. Concluiu-se que a Terapia Comunitária Integrativa é uma oferta potente, inovadora, factível, com resultados muito animadores, podendo ser utilizada como prática integrativa e complementar, fortalecendo a efetivação do Sistema Único de Saúde no Brasil.

Ao propor um texto acerca da necessidade de ensinar Milton Santos, a intenção principal é mostrar a importância desse intelectual negro para o pensamento crítico, não somente da Geografia, mas para qualquer área do conhecimento que se dedica a compreender a dinâmica dos territórios a partir de diferentes vetores. Certamente, é impossível neste artigo abordar toda a teoria de Milton Santos, que pode ser transformada em conteúdo de sala de aula. Por isso, optamos por elaborar uma reflexão tendo como tema norteador as várias faces da globalização, sobretudo, a da perversidade socioeconômica, que exerce influência na educação, nas questões raciais e na totalidade do território. Para ensinar o tema globalização por meio de uma abordagem crítica em sala de aula, sugerimos vídeos – documentários e entrevistas – nos quais Milton Santos é protagonista. Os vídeos colaboram para a fixação da imagem e da corporeidade de Milton Santos e contribuem para ampliar o entendimento da visão de mundo dele. Por fim, espera-se contribuir para reforçar o relevante legado desse importante geógrafo, para a compreensão crítica do mundo em que vivemos.

Published: August 2024

Neste artigo são apresentados os resultados de uma pesquisa que analisou a existência de estratégias institucionalizadas de educação popular em saúde (EPS) e o grau de convergência da inclusão de princípios da EPS em planos estaduais de educação permanente. O método se caracteriza como um estudo de casos que desenvolveu uma análise de conteúdo temático com grau de convergência conceitual. Uma matriz de categorias operacionais foi estabelecida e aplicada aos documentos identificados. Os resultados demonstram que há estratégias de implementação da EPS em todas as regiões geográficas brasileiras, com concentração no Nordeste. A Política Nacional de Educação Popular em Saúde e seu plano operativo são propostas com grau de convergência avançado para os princípios da EPS. Foram identificados três planos estaduais de educação permanente em saúde, com grau de convergência intermediário para os princípios participação, controle social e gestão participativa; avançado para a formação, comunicação e produção de conhecimento; e insuficiente para o cuidado em saúde, intersetorialidade e diálogos multiculturais. Conclui-se serem necessários esforços para a efetivação da EPS, resistindo a modelos de formação tecnicistas de gestão centralizada e de negação da participação social no Sistema Único de Saúde.

Published: August 2024

This study investigates the dielectric properties of banana fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites, both with and without magnesium oxide (MgO) as conductive filler, utilizing microwave curing. Dielectric properties play a crucial role in the design and performance of materials in various fields, including electronics and energy storage systems. The introduction of MgO as a conductive filler significantly enhances the dielectric constant of the composites, resulting in improved electrical energy storage capacity. Microwave curing emerges as a key factor in enhancing dielectric properties. Compared to conventional oven and room temperature curing techniques, microwave cured composites consistently exhibit higher dielectric constants. The dielectric constant of 0.24 at 2 MHz for microwave cured NaOH treated fibers. In addition, the comparison of dielectric permittivity made from oven-cured and microwave-cured composites at relaxation frequencies of 10 kHz exhibited an 11 percent increase through microwave curing. The rapid and volumetric heating properties of microwave curing enable more effective dispersion and distribution of MgO particles within the composites, ultimately enhancing interfacial polarization and dielectric performance.
Transformasi Nāsikh-Mansūkh dalam Pandangan as-Suyūṭī: Respons terhadap Dinamika Sosial dan Kebutuhan Masyarakat
Authors: Aswindasari Aliffia
Published: August 2024

As-Suyūṭī’s reconstruction of the nāsikh-mansūkh concept responds to shifts in social and historical contexts, aiming to maintain its relevance and applicability for Muslims. This study seeks to explore his stance on nāsikh-mansūkh by linking it to the legal reform mechanisms he developed. Utilizing a qualitative method within a sociology of knowledge framework, the research found that as-Suyūṭī’s understanding of nāsikh-mansūkh emerged from synthesizing previous thoughts, adapted to meet the needs of his era. As-Suyūṭī saw nāsikh-mansūkh as a concept born out of the evolving needs for new laws due to contextual changes. This perspective underpinned his argument for issuing various fatwas. This approach took shape in a society facing degradation in various aspects, necessitating new laws to address emerging needs. His pragmatic way of thinking was driven by the specific needs of his time, leading him to reconceptualize issues previously unrelated. This inclination led as-Suyūṭī to reject certain verses classified as nāsikh-mansūkh by earlier scholars, arguing that they no longer met societal needs. His adaptive approach diverged from the traditional thinking of his contemporaries in Islamic jurisprudence, sparking significant polemics and debates.

Authors: Nanang Hasan Susanto  , Zaenal Mustakim  , Imam Kanafi  , Nur Kholis  , Yayan Rahayani
Published: August 2024

Purpose – This study intends to unravel aspects related to education in local religions. There are three (3) intercorrelated things regarding education in local religions, namely discrimination, value education, and social movements.
Design/methods/approach – This study is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The data source was obtained from the results of in-depth interviews and observations of members and traditional elders of three (3) local religions in Indonesia. The analysis used was a descriptive one.
Findings – The three local religions studied often experience discrimination, especially in the aspect of education. This discrimination encourages them to spread the values education so that its existence continues to survive. The values education is an essential vehicle in carrying out social movements.
Research implications/limitations – This study was limited to three local religions in Indonesia. The diversely abundant local religions in Indonesia allow for different dynamics between each other, related to discrimination in religious education, values education they uphold, and new social movements they bring about.
Originality/value – The majority of scholars have studied various local religions to uncover their diverse religious teachings. Additionally, numerous studies also have discussed varied discriminations against religion. However, they are mostly related to discrimination in the aspect of citizenship rights that they should have. This research is more focused on discrimination in education, as well as the related elements, namely values education and new social movements, to overcome this discrimination.
Non-Muslim Perceptions of Halal Muslim Life Style in Manado City and Its Influence on Social Distance
Authors: Amin Ali , Iqbal Suma Muhammad , Kusuma Dewi Subkhani , Mansyur Zulkifli
Published: August 2024

Halal food/drink is food or beverages that do not contain haram food or drink ingredients (especially pork and khamr) according to Islamic law. In Indonesia, consuming halal food is one of the essensial identities of a Muslim, which has recently been strengthened through public regulations. This strengthening of religious identity, especially among the Muslim minority, might create social distance characterized by Muslims’ limiting or avoiding contact with non-Muslims. While previous research found social distance exists in Muslim minorities towards non-Muslims, this research explains the lack of social distance among majority non-Muslims towards minority Muslims. Using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, through survey, observations and interviews with 50 respondents in Manado, this research found that social distance towards the “strengthening” of halal identity among Muslims is hardly seen among Christian respondents. The fact that Muslims have restrictions on consuming non-halal food, while Minahasa Christians do not have such equal restrictions on consuming Muslim food, confirms the quantitative data. In contrast to Muslims, who have restrictions on consuming non-halal food, Minahasan Christians do not have restrictions on consuming Muslim (halal) food. This study strengthens the argument that the “halal” identity creates social distance in Manado society among Muslims towards others and not vice versa.
Censura infantojuvenil en la literatura y educación europea
Authors: Soto Vázquez José
Published: August 2024

La Literatura Infantil y Juvenil ha sido objeto de atención preferente para la mayoría de los Estados dictatoriales. Con su control se trató de moldear la cultura de los más jóvenes para impulsar un sentimiento de identidad nacional homogéneo, afín a la ideología de sus gobiernos. Esta monografía revela los diferentes tipos de censura, las estrategias de veto y la propaganda ejercida por medio de suplementos periodísticos y lecturas hagiográficas. Del mismo modo, también se muestra la resiliencia de autores y editoriales disidentes que apostaron por romper la imposición del canon institucional y defendieron la libertad de las letras, para abrir camino a la pluralidad temática. Con este libro, que inicia el prefacio del escritor Máximo Huerta, se establece un recorrido por la censura de España, Portugal, Brasil, México y Estados Unidos, de manera que se evidencia como la represión literaria ni es objeto de épocas pasadas, ni atañe solo a algunos países. Los resultados de estas investigaciones manifiestan la importancia de trabajar la memoria histórica infantojuvenil, para fortalecer las democracias actuales y recuperar el legado cultural que permanece olvidado en los archivos.
Libertas. La tradición política de Occidente
Authors: Gallego García Elio A.
Published: August 2024

El presente ensayo toma su origen de un primer ensayo que con el título de Sabiduría clásica y libertad política indagaba el nacimiento y la continuidad histórica de la idea de régimen mixto de monarquía, aristocracia y democracia, desde que ésta encontrara su primera formulación teórica en las obras políticas de Platón y Aristóteles. Agotada la edición, consideré la oportunidad de reeditarlo con un mínimo de correcciones, para comprobar, al poco tiempo, que se imponía una reelaboración más en profundidad, debido, sobre todo, a la maduración de mi propio pensamiento en el tiempo transcurrido. Finalmente, se presenta al lector esta tercera y definitiva versión de aquella obra inicial. Ciertamente, no me equivocaba respecto del fondo de la cuestión, o así lo creo, y que la fórmula óptima de gobierno para la «Tradición central de Occidente» consiste en una mezcla equilibrada, según las circunstancias de tiempo y lugar, de las tres formas puras de gobierno antedichas. Pero comprendí igualmente que esta idea formaba junto a otras dos un acorde triádico constitutivo de un todo indisoluble, y que son: la centralidad de la virtud y el gobierno de la ley.

Muara sungai Banjir Kanal Barat mengakumulasi silikat dan bahan organik yang berasal dari dataran tinggi dan buangan aktivitas antropogenik. Silikat dan bahan organik berkaitan dengan organisme primer perairan, khususnya diatom. Diatom membutuhkan silikat dan menghasilkan pengayaan bahan organik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan silikat dan bahan organik beserta persebarannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan analisis statistik deskriptif sedangkan penentuan lokasi menggunakan purposive sampling. Silikat dianalisis menggunakan metode molybdosilicate, bahan organik total air menggunakan metode uji permanganat secara titrimetri (SNI 06-6989.22-2004), bahan organik total sedimen menggunakan metode Loss on Ignition. Hubungan menggunakan korelasi Pearson dan nilai signifikansi. Hasil menunjukkan konsentrasi silikat lebih tinggi di permukaan (6,189 µM) daripada bagian dasar (4,745 µM) serta sebarannya terpusat di sumber masukan perairan. Bahan organik total air di permukaan (30,393 mg/L) menyebar dari sumber masukan muara menuju ke arah barat muara mengikuti pergerakan arus. Bahan organik total air di dasar perairan (31,744 mg/L) menyebar secara acak mengikuti ukuran butir sedimennya. Bahan organik total di sedimen (16,687 %) menyebar bervariasi secara acak dikarenakan pengaruh kecepatan arus dan persebaran ukuran butir sedimen. Hubungan antara bahan organik dengan silikat perairan terjadi di bagian permukaan perairan (r = 0,632; p = 0,037) sedangkan di dasar perairan tidak terjadi hubungan (r = 0,395; p = 0,229).
DAYLIGHT OPTIMIZATION IN A CAFÉ THROUGH WINDOW TO WALL RATIO AND ILLUMINANCE ANALYSIS: A CASE STUDY OF BREW AND CHEW CAFÉ IN BANDUNG, INDONESIA
Authors: Ardyanny Yuninda Mukty
Published: August 2024

Daylighting is essential for enhancing the lighting ambiance and ensuring occupants' visual comfort in a café. Nowadays, a café is not only a leisure destination, but also becomes a preferred place for people working remotely. Consequently, the necessity for proper daylighting in a café becomes crucial to achieve customers' visual comfort. Regarding daylighting, windows play a pivotal role in bringing natural light into a building. Thus, the Window-to-Wall Ratio (WWR) percentage has a significant impact on the illuminance level within the building. To prevent visual discomfort, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) v4.1 Standard for daylight measurement will serve as the parameter to achieve an acceptable level of illuminance, ranging between 300 lux and 3,000 lux at both 9 AM and 3 PM. The objective of this research is to determine the optimal WWR percentage in a case study café to achieve an acceptable illuminance level based on the LEED v4.1 standard, using Velux as the simulation software. The research methodology involves measuring the existing illuminance level of the case study café using a lux meter to validate the building simulation results. Subsequently, the 3D model of the café will be simulated in Velux with varying Window-to-Wall Ratios (WWR) to identify the optimal WWR that aligns with the LEED v4.1 standard for daylight measurement.

Authors: Julita Ing , Oktarina Freta
Published: August 2024

The movie series "Gadis Kretek" is an adaptation of Ratih Kumala's novel, framing the family business life within the clove cigarette, known as kretek, industry. This adaptation portrays the societal realities against the background of local wisdom related to the kretek industry in Java. The kretek industry has evolved into one of the largest revenue-generating sectors for the Indonesian government, second only to oil and gas. Kretek have become a cultural heritage of Indonesia, embodying historical and cultural values intertwined with the activities of its people. These values shape a space that relates to form, function, and meaning in architecture, understood through dialogue and image within the movie's scenes. This study will analyze and interpret the production of space in the "Gadis Kretek" movie series and examine the underlying meanings as representation of Javanese society.
Imagination and investment: unraveling academic identity in Chinese doctoral candidates’ publishing journeys in U.S. higher education
Authors: Lu Xiaolong
Published: August 2024

Doctoral writing for publication has evolved into a strategic activity in Ph.D. education, extending beyond a mere social practice. This paper presents a collective case study that examines the publishing experiences of four Chinese doctoral candidates in Linguistics. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, with narrative inquiry of how they prepared themselves to publish for the academic job market, how they imagined their future academic communities, and how they negotiated their academic identities in terms of publishing within imagined communities. The qualitative analysis incorporates Norton’s conceptualization of imagined community and identity, as well as investment and capitals, highlighting the positive influence of imagined academic identity on scholarly publishing as well as the dynamic nature of academic identity construction in the divergence between imagination and reality. The findings offer pedagogical insights into the negotiation of identities in doctoral publishing, with particular relevance to Chinese international students in the social sciences.
Microstructure and mechanical properties of similar and dissimilar resistance spot welded DC04 and HRP6222 (DD11) steels
Authors: Hasirci Yasin , Elitas Muhammed
Published: August 2024

Low carbon steels are frequently preferred in the automotive industry. The most preferred welding method in vehicle body manufacturing is resistance spot welding (RSW). In this study, RSW joints of DC04 and HRP6222 steels were carried out at two different electrode forces (2.1 kN, 2.4 kN) and three different welding currents (4 kA, 6 kA, 8 kA). The effects of different welding parameters on microstructure, tensile shear force, failure mode and microhardness were investigated. So, the focus was on optimizing the welding parameters. As a result, the RSW process caused the formation of three different regions in the microstructure (the base metal, the heat affected zone and the weld metal). It was observed that the tensile shear force increased as the welding current and electrode force increased. After the tensile shear tests, two different failure modes occurred (interface and pull-out type). Hardness values showed a linear relationship with tensile shear force results. In addition, a significant increase in hardness values was observed from the base metal to the weld metal in all welding parameters.
Effect of annealing time on bending performance and microstructure of C19400 alloy strip
Authors: Zhang Yanmin , Huang Baohuan , Gao Hongjiao , Li Shanguang , Zhou Fei , Song Kexing
Published: August 2024

The effect of annealing time on the bending properties and microstructure of cold-rolled C19400 alloy was studied by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and optical microscopy. With the increase in annealing time, the bending properties of the alloy first increased and then decreased, and the elongation increased from 8.33% in cold-rolled state to 11.58% after annealing for 60 min, which increased by 39.02%, and then decreased to 10.0% after annealing for 90 min. Within the experimental range, the bending performance is the best when the annealing time is 60 min. When the relative bending radius is 0.4, the outer surface of the bending part of the alloy changes from a large number of microfine cracks before annealing to the disappearance of cracks after annealing. The analysis shows that the decrease in the dislocation density, the ordering of the dislocation structure, and the refinement of the precipitated phase are the keys to improving the bending performance of the strip after annealing.
“I let down my nets and pulled.” Langston Hughes’ The Big Sea (1940) as a Slave-Narrative Inspired Autobiography
Authors: Tarnóc András
Published: August 2024

The aim of the essay is to investigate the connection between the slave narrative and the Harlem Renaissance through Langston Hughes’ The Big Sea (1940). The work recalls Hughes’ personal growth and professional development from a struggle-filled young adulthood to becoming an accomplished literary figure. I consider Hughes’s text a slave narrative-inspired autobiography. In order to substantiate my hypothesis I primarily rely on Frances Smith Foster and Kim Green’s cyclical interpretation of the slave narrative, John Olney’s theory concerning the respective form and content related conventions, and Mikhail Bakhtin’s chronotope model. I identify three formative experiences in Hughes’s life: his extended stay with his father in Mexico at age 19, his voyage to Africa in 1923 and his ”sociological study trip” to the South in 1924. My treatise retraces how the options provided by the genre of autobiography helped Langston Hughes to convert an unwritten self into literary representation.
“Tinkers” in Verse: The Dublin Gate Theatre’s Production of Donagh MacDonagh’s God’s Gentry (1951)
Authors: Lanters José
Published: August 2024

In his ballad opera God’s Gentry, produced in 1951 at the Dublin Gate Theatre under the direction of Hilton Edwards, Donagh MacDonagh set out to satirize totalitarian regimes and the welfare state by making the “class” of the tinkers the rulers of Ireland for a year, led by Marks (“Marx”) Mongan and aided by the old Irish god Balor of the Evil Eye. Written in verse and interspersed with popular folk tunes to which MacDonagh wrote new lyrics, the play imagines the tinkers’ outlook on life as the antithesis of capitalism, law and order, and Christian family values. Nora, the village shopkeeper’s daughter, is seduced by the free and merry ways of Marks and his people, but when the nation is declared bankrupt and the pagan, socialist “tinker’s republic” collapses, her jilting of Marks and her return to settled life signal a more general reversal of the nation to bourgeois values. This essay considers the way in which Travelling people are represented in the text and on the stage both as metaphorical stand-ins for politicians governing Ireland and nations beyond its borders and as an actual Irish minority perceived as an unregulated and transgressive entity—a “nation within a nation”—by the settled population. The article also considers how the life of the Travellers was imagined aesthetically in what MacDonagh referred to as the “grand” settings and costumes designed for the Gate production by Micheál Mac Liammóir, who also played the part of Marks.
Heroes on Stage: Robert Emmet, Charles Parnell, and Michael Collins in Three Irish Plays from Interwar Avant-garde to the 1990s

Once they enter the zone of public memory, historical figures, however celebrated they might be, are no longer able to speak for themselves, but become objectified by historians, creative writers, and interested parties down through the generations. Their portraits of revolutionaries might potentially counteract the subjugation imposed by colonial and anti-colonial powers and give them a more humane touch that prompts the audiences’ independent judgments. Representations of these historical figures might therefore put their contributions, personalities and even charisma under the microscope, challenging the historiography that tends to apotheosize them as heroes. The plays under discussion, chosen for their particularly avant-garde innovations and not yet fully discussed in the literature, are Dennis Johnston’s The Old Lady Says “No!” (1929), Larry Kirwan’s Mister Parnell (1992), and Tom MacIntyre’s Good Evening, Mr Collins (1995). These plays feature Robert Emmet, Charles Parnell, and Michael Collins, renowned yet still controversial Irish revolutionaries, respectively.
Talijansko-hrvatski i hrvatsko-talijanski rječnik vojničkog nazivlja Eugenija Colonija iz 1943.

Ovim se radom prvi put znanstvenoj i široj javnosti zainteresiranoj za povijest hrvatske leksikografije, višejezične terminografije te za povijesno-jezični razvoj hrvatskoga jezika predstavlja vojni dvojezičnik Terminologia Militare Italiano-Croata e Croato Italiana (Talijansko-hrvatsko i hrvatsko-talijanskoga rječnika vojničkoga nazivlja), objavljen 1943. u Zagrebu kao privremeno izdanje u sunakladništvu Ministarstva oružanih snaga NDH i Kraljevske talijanske vojne misije u Hrvatskoj. Ovim se preliminarnim istraživanjem progovara o njegovu pronalasku, pružaju osnovni podatci o rječniku te predstavljaju temeljne terminografske značajke djela. Konačno, rječnik se u nekim hrvatskim rješenjima supostavlja s istovrijednicama ponuđenima u rječničko-konverzacijskome priručniku Deutsch-kroatischer sprachführer für den soldaten (Vodiču hrvatsko-njemačkog jezika za vojnika), njegovu terminografskom suvremeniku također iz 1943. Namjera je ovim panoramskim uvidom u rječnik utrti put njegovu daljnjem slojevitijem istraživanju, rezultati kojega bi u konačnici činili dio korpusa budućega povijesnog rječnika hrvatskoga vojnog nazivlja.
The Role of L1 and Age Effect in the Acquisition of EnglishArticles among Croatian Young EFL Learners
Authors: Balenović Katica
Published: August 2024

The category of definiteness/indefiniteness is often seen as a linguistic universal (Chomsky 2000; Silić 2000) that exists in every human language but is expressed with different linguistic means and patterns in different languages. In English, this category is grammaticalized primarily via articles (Zergollern-Miletić 2008). The Croatian language does not contain an article system, and acquiring English articles represents a major problem for most learners of English as a foreign language (Balenović and Medved Krajnović 2013; Zergollern-Miletić 2015). The present paper investigates difficulties in acquiring English articles among young learners in Croatia in written tasks. Pupils involved in the research started learning English in the first grade of primary school. A total of 76 primary school learners from six different classes (schools) and different age groups were included in this research. The initial hypothesis is that the correct use of articles increases as learners’ overall L2 proficiency increases due to exposure to instructed EFL learning. A qualitative analysis was carried out using error analysis, i.e., proper/wrong use, or omission of the article. The findings partially confirmed the initial hypothesis and showed that our participants were becoming aware of the existence of English articles (they comprehended that articles should precede nouns), but we found very frequent article omission, which, according to our research results, indicates that the process of developing and understanding the semantic and pragmatic role of English articles is long and fluctuating specifically with learners whose L1 lacks the article system.
Mediastinal fibrosis as a puzzling presentation: A clinical conundrum in rheumatology: A case report
Authors: Zope Aarti , Akerkar Shashank , Akerkar Prajakti
Published: August 2024

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a type of small vessel vasculitis, most commonly involving the respiratory tract and kidneys. It can occasionally present with mass-like lesions at various sites, including the brain, orbit, skin, genitals, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum. Presentation with mediastinal fibrosis is rare and less commonly recognized. The current study presents the case of a mediastinal mass causing pulmonary artery compression and subsequent pulmonary hypertension (PH) that required stenting. Despite inconclusive mediastinal biopsy results, the integration of clinical, radiological, and laboratory findings led to the diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis, highlighting the challenges and necessity of a multi-modal diagnostic approach in real-world clinical scenarios. This case underscores the importance of considering ANCA-associated vasculitis as a potential etiology in patients presenting with mediastinal fibrosis. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial in optimizing outcomes for patients with this rare and challenging manifestation.

Introduction: The study of predictors of negative outcomes in patients with heart failure has included the combination of natriuretic peptides and red cell distribution width (RDW). Objective: To evaluate the combined use of the amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and RDW as a prognostic factor for death from any cause, prolonged hospitalization, and readmission one year after discharge in patients with decompensated acute heart failure (AHF). Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study. We constructed a combined index = NT-ProBNP x RDW/100. ROC curves were constructed, sensitivity and specificity were estimated based on the cut-off points, and the relative risk was estimated to develop the outcomes studied. We compared the area under curve of combined index versus NT-proBNP and RDW, separately. Results: We analyzed data from 471 patients. The combined index had its best cut of 927.79 to predict death during the first year of admission. Those with values ≥ 927,79 had a relative risk of 32.7 (95% CI: 4.8 – 222.3). To predict hospitalization ≥7 days, the cut-off point was 752.67; those with this value or higher had a relative risk of 22.4 (95% CI: 9.7 – 51.8). To predict readmission one year after discharge, the cutoff was 858.47 and the relative risk was 4.7 (95% CI: 3.3 – 6.8). Conclusions: The combined index used generate relative risks that show a strong strength of association for death from any cause, hospitalization ≥7 days, and readmissions one year after discharge. However, the superiority to discriminate was inconclusive with respect to the individual components.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on medical care and medical education in Peru.  In response, the Peruvian American Medical Society (PAMS), a charitable medical organization based in the USA, pursued its medical and educational missions in Peru by adopting virtual learning technology. We developed closer collaborative relationships with several medical schools and the Peruvian Association of Medical Schools (ASPEFAM) while offering a faculty panel of twenty-four members to provide lectures and multidisciplinary webinars in Spanish. We conducted 19 webinars including COVID -19 and non-COVID-19 related topics that over the last two years attracted 14,489 participants from 23 countries. They were the foundation for twenty publications in Peruvian medical journals. Our clinical investigations competition was positively received as was our pilot project on research mentorship. The COVID -19 pandemic had a positive effect on the educational mission of PAMS in Peru.

The second, to carry out from his life trajectory a first critical analysis of the implementation process of Primary Health Care (PHC) in Peru, based on the observations stated in his work “Primary Health Care in Peru”. Rescuing some elements to sustain —in these years of general crisis— a reform of the health system, oriented in an authentic way to the achievement of “health for all and per all” in Peru.
Tumor marrón en la mandíbula como forma de presentación inicial de hiperparatiroidismo primario
Authors: Miranda Manrique Gonzalo
Published: August 2024

Brown tumor (TP) is a benign bone lesion caused by excess osteoclastic activity and hemosiderin deposition as a result of primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism. We present the case of a 71-year-old male patient with a mandibular tumor and bone pain in the lower limbs. He was initially evaluated by the head and neck department who performed excision of mandibular lesion with histological result of giant cells with necrotic and hemorrhagic areas. 3 months later, hypercalcemia was evident, and he was referred to the endocrinology department. The diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with skeletal complications was confirmed and parathyroidectomy was scheduled with histological confirmation of parathyroid adenoma. The present case is of interest because of the initial presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism associated with the presence of a brown tumor as a differential diagnosis when evaluating a patient with mandibular bone tumor.
