Cultivating well-being, community cohesion and sense of purpose through African contemplative practices
Authors: Draper-Clarke Lucy Jane , Green Caryn
Published: July 2023

Exploring Southern African contemplative traditions addresses an important gap in the fields of mindfulness and contemplative science. In contrast to meditation practices drawn from Eastern wisdom traditions, practices embedded in African spirituality are sound- and movement-based and conducted in community settings. During a research retreat in South Africa, attended by traditional healers, creative arts therapists and performers, mindfulness and neuroscience researchers and a Buddhist monk, indigenous rituals were performed by experienced facilitators and analyzed through group reflection sessions. Phenomenological data were recorded and coded. Participants identified how the synchronized movements, vocalization, and multisensory listening enabled experiences of self-transcendence, connection, and social cohesion, eliciting emotions of peacefulness, harmony, and joy. Using thematic analysis, four recurring threads emerged: sacred sense of purpose, nervous system self- and coregulation, enhancement of pro-social qualities, and community cohesion. These findings are presented to support international dialog and illuminate relationships between Eastern, Western and African wisdom traditions. The global decline in mental health provides increased relevance, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of perpetuated historical injustices that have rendered individuals and communities isolated and disconnected. This paper proposes that embodied rituals and arts-based therapies, alongside mindfulness practices, could provide effective ways to enhance personal well-being and build community cohesion.

Published: July 2023

Background
Admission blood lactate has previously guided therapy and is a valid estimator of prognosis in children with cerebral malaria (CM). Since bolus intravenous fluid administration to children with febrile coma and signs of hypovolemia (including high blood lactate) may be harmful, the use of blood lactate to guide therapy has waned. Its utility as a prognostic biomarker, either at admission or during hospitalization, remains unclear.
Methods
We performed a retrospective cohort study of 1674 Malawian children with CM hospitalized from 2000–2018 who had blood lactate measurements every 6 hours for the first 24 hours. We evaluated the strength of association between admission lactate or values measured at any time point in the first 24 hours post-admission, and outcomes (death or neurologic disability in survivors). We assessed the optimal duration of lactate monitoring of children with CM.
Results
When lactate is analyzed as a continuous variable, children with CM who have higher values at admission have a 1.05-fold higher odds (95% CI: 0.99–1.11) of death compared to those with lower lactate values. Children with higher blood lactate at 6 hours have 1.16-fold higher odds (95% CI: 1.09–1.23) of death, compared to those with lower values. If lactate levels are dichotomized into hyperlactatemic (lactate > 5.0 mmol/L) or not, the strength of association between admission lactate and death increases (OR = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.47–4.22). Neither blood lactate levels obtained after 18 hours post-admission nor trends in lactate concentrations during the first 24 hours of admission are associated with outcomes. Blood lactate during hospitalization is not associated with adverse neurologic outcomes in CM survivors.
Conclusions
In children with CM, blood lactate is associated with death but not neurologic morbidity in survivors. To comprehensively estimate prognosis, blood lactate in children with CM should be assessed at admission and for 18 hours afterwards.

Authors: Uzair Waqas , Chai Douglas , Rassau Alexander
Published: July 2023

This study presents the design and development of a highly accurate and efficient approach for interpreting both hand-drawn and printed electric-circuit schematics. It addresses critical challenges in the field such as the lack of annotated data forobject-detection in schematics. To mitigate this, we have created an extensive dataset, comprising of 23 classes of electric-circuit elements, textual elements with units, prefixes, decimal points, and an array of various handwriting and printing styles with a total of 198495 annotations in the dataset. This rich and diverse dataset ensures the robustness of our system against different styles of circuit drawings. We combined our dataset with the MNIST dataset to enhance the model’s resilience to diverse writing styles. Another obstacle faced in this domain is the accurate recognition and assignment of textual labels in schematics. To overcome this, we employed object-detection methodologies, leveraging use of hybrid model. It has proven effective in analyzing line diagrams and incorporating various language OCRs. Despite initial success with minor parameter adjustments, a shortfall in the accuracy of object-detection was identified when significant size variations occurred between objects. To address this, we trained a new model, leading to significant improvements in the recognition of circuit elements and textual symbols across all sizes, with high precision. This enhanced system showed an overall correct simulation rate of 92%, and an overall correct recognition rate of 94% for textual symbols. This work establishes the efficacy of employing object-detection techniques for interpreting electric schematics while also underlining the challenges and potential avenues for future research in this domain. Our approach has shown notable improvements in recognizing electric-circuit drawings, particularly for smaller components, and opens avenues for further advancements in the field of circuit recognition and analysis.
Effect of nutrition impact symptoms on oral nutritional supplements energy intake in head and neck cancer patients treated by chemotherapy: a retrospective, cross-sectional study
Authors: Dai Tingting , Xian Jinli , Li Xuemei , Wang Zhiqiang , Hu Wen
Published: July 2023

Background
This study aims to explore the effect of nutritional impact symptoms (NIS) on oral nutritional supplements (ONS) energy intake among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.
Methods
A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in HNC patients in a hospital in western China between January 2019 and June 2020. The NIS were from the “self-reported symptoms affecting dietary intake” of the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) scale. Binary logistic regression was used to determine the effect of NIS on ONS energy intake.
Results
The most prevalent five NIS were no appetite (43.8%), nausea (18.8%), dysphagia (15.4%), vomiting (15.0%) and early satiety (12.9%), respectively. And patients with nausea (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.12–0.57) or vomiting (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.15–0.80) or early satiety (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.17–0.97) were less likely to have ONS energy intake > 400 kcal/d than those without these symptoms after adjusting for the confounding factors.
Conclusion
Nausea, vomiting or early satiety should be focused and intervened to improve the nutritional status of the HNC patients.

Missense mutations in the DNA binding domain of p53 are observed frequently in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC). Recent studies have revealed the potentially oncogenic transcriptional networks regulated by mutant p53 proteins. However, majority of these studies have focused on common ‘hotspot’ p53 mutations while rarer mutations are poorly characterized. In this study, we report the characterization of rare, ‘non-hotspot’ p53 mutations from ESCC. In-vitro tumorigenic assays performed following ectopic-expression of certain ‘non-hotspot’ mutant p53 proteins caused enhancement of oncogenic properties in squamous carcinoma cell lines. Genome-wide transcript profiling of ESCC tumour samples stratified for p53 status, revealed several genes exhibiting elevated transcript levels in tumours harbouring mutant p53. Of these, ARF6, C1QBP and TRIM23 were studied further. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) performed on RNA isolated from ESCC tumors revealed significant correlation of TP53 transcript levels with those of the three target genes. Ectopic expression of wild-type and several mutant p53 forms followed by RT-qPCR, Chromatin Affinity-Purification (ChAP) and Promoter-luciferase assays indicated the exclusive recruitment of p53 mutants – P190T and P278L, to the target genes leading to activation of expression. Several functional assays following knockdown of the target genes revealed a significant suppression of tumorigenicity in squamous carcinoma cell lines. Rescue experiments confirmed the specificity of the knockdown. The tumorigenic effect of the genes was confirmed in nude mice xenograft assays. This study has therefore identified novel oncogenic targets of ‘non-hotspot’ mutant p53 proteins relevant for ESCC besides validating the functional heterogeneity of the spectrum of tumor specific p53 mutations.

Published: July 2023

The flipped classroom model (FCM) is recognized for its learner-centered approach, which promotes active learning, enhances student engagement, and provides meaningful learning opportunities. However, the successful implementation of this approach necessitates specific prerequisites that may limit its application. This study evaluated the implementation and requirements of the FCM for medical students. Possible prerequisites for implementing the FCM were identified through a literature review and expert panel discussions. An instrument for implementation of FCM were developed and after validation were used to assess the status of FCM implementation in Mashhad medical school, by attending medical students, medical teachers, and technology specialists. The prerequisites of FCM were identified in three domains: students' preparedness, teachers' preparation, and technology provisions. Evaluation of FCM implementation in Mashhad medical schools showed that medical teachers were well-prepared to provide a flexible learning environment, attend to individual learning needs, create engaging content, and offer professional coaching. Students were well-prepared in computer skills, motivation, comprehension of online technology, attitude towards success, and access to technology, but their scores were not desirable in online skills and the ability to discuss a topic online. Technology provisions were desirable in the software aspect and relatively desirable in the hardware aspect. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the prerequisites of FCM for successful implementation in medical education. Both students and teachers need to be prepared and equipped with the necessary skills to effectively use FCM, also having adequate technology resources to support FCM implementation is necessary.

Published: July 2023

The paper aims to examine the travel habits of Generation Y and Generation Z representatives after the coronavirus pandemic among Slovak and Hungarian respondents. To this end, primary data was collected using a questionnaire survey in the first half of 2022. Five hypotheses were formulated and tested with the Chi-square test in the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software during the research. According to the results, generation Y spends, on average, a higher amount per trip than Generation Z. Both generations like to travel domestically and abroad. For Generation Y, one-week trips are the most typical; for Generation Z, shorter trips of 2-3 days. The two generations are similar in that they often find out about their chosen destination online before travelling. The most important sources of information about destinations for both generations are previous personal experiences, the opinions of friends and acquaintances, and reviews written on travel websites. Generation Y and Z also showed similarities in which factors are most important when choosing a trip. These are the price, the time spent there, the attractions and the accommodation. The length of travel time and available services are more important to Generation Y, and the choice of programs to Generation Z. It is more characteristic of Generation Y that they consider travelling a good opportunity to spend time with the family and that they consider it important to be able to reach the host online. On the other hand, Generation Z considers it more important that travel be cheap. In the case of the two generations, there was no difference in whether they recommended the destinations to their friends or whether they returned to the same place. The study supports the results of certain previous research conducted among travellers from Slovakia and Hungary but also identifies similarities and differences in the travel habits of travellers from the two countries from a generational point of view. The results help travel agencies, specialists, and websites promote destinations in what aspects they should consider if they want to sell travel to Generation Y or Z. In the case of the two generations, there were more similarities than differences in travel habits. Professionals, marketing agencies and tourist destinations should be aware of these similarities and differences when determining their marketing communication target group.
The Evaluation of Generation Z in Innovation of Career Success: Comparative Analysis with Generation Y
Authors: Ozturk Uygar , Yildirim Elvan
Published: July 2023

The concept of innovation is experienced in generations, as in many other concepts. Intergenerational research, which has been the subject of scholarly inquiry for a considerable period, sheds light on this phenomenon. Despite the extensive attention given to intergenerational mindsets, only some studies have specifically examined the Z generation, who have recently entered the workforce. Notably, attitudes towards innovation vary across generations, with behaviours salient among the Y generation potentially being less relevant for the Z generation. This seems to herald an important difference. It also reveals the importance of deciphering the entire generation Z. Thus, it is paramount to investigate the attitudes and behaviours of the Z generation toward innovation in the business world. Furthermore, it is pertinent to note that career success is linked to innovation. This study focused on objective and subjective measures of career success. It examines the perception of subjective career success between Generation Z and Generation Y and the current situation of objective career success. Objective career success is the achievement of career-related criteria that all individuals can assess uniformly. In contrast, subjective career success refers to the individual’s perception of their success in their career. To measure these constructs, questions and scales were utilized in the research. The sample for the study was composed of 419 individuals from Generation Z and 470 individuals from Generation Y. A quantitative research method was employed to analyse the data, utilizing descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and independent t-test. The findings indicate that objective and subjective career success perception higher among Generation Y than Generation Z. Looking at the sub-dimensions in the findings of the research, the averages of the Y generation are higher than the Z generation in the sub-dimensions of salary and status, recognition, growth, and development. On the other hand, the average of the Z generation is significantly higher in the personnel life sub-dimension known as work-life balance. Research results and literature show little differences. This study offer valuable insights for businesses, human resources departments, and interdisciplinary researchers. It also aimed to contribute to the literature on career success for the Z generation, who has just entered the business life.

Published: July 2023

Inter-religious conflicts are born, among others, due to misunderstandings in receiving and interpreting messages in the process of multi-religious community interaction, without exception conflicts in Bantul Regency, Indonesia. This research uses a qualitative approach that is descriptive analysis with the type of case study method. The results concluded that the conflict was caused by the process of inter-religious communication that took place in a stagnant and closed manner. In the process of communication between religious communities in large numbers, there are influences in the form of differences in religious, socio-cultural, political views to diverse ideologies and involve high psychological emotions.  A religious conflict resolution approach that is oriented towards a transparent model of government policy implementation and reaches all levels of society is an obligation for regional and national leaders. Then, interfaith leaders must prioritize patterns of thinking and behaving by promoting a moderate attitude that puts the human side at the main level compared to group and religious backgrounds. In addition, religious people must be able to put aside egoism and a priori attitudes in interacting with people of other religions and religious leaders are obliged to communicate messages of peace and harmony in the frame of plurality. This study contributes to the development of a communication model in interfaith conflict resolution.***Konflik antar umat beragama lahir antara lain disebabkan oleh kesalahpahaman dalam menerima dan menafsirkan pesan dalam proses interaksi masyarakat multi agama, tanpa terkecuali konflik di Kabupaten Bantul, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang bersifat deskriptif analisis dengan jenis metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa konflik tersebut disebabkan oleh proses komunikasi antar umat beragama yang berlangsung secara stagnan dan tertutup. Dalam proses komunikasi antar umat beragama dalam jumlah yang banyak tersebut, terdapat pengaruh berupa perbedaan cara pandang agama, sosial budaya, pandangan politik hingga ideologi yang beragam dan melibatkan emosi psikologis yang tinggi.  Pendekatan penyelesaian konflik agama yang berorientasi pada model implementasi kebijakan pemerintah yang transparan dan menjangkau seluruh lapisan masyarakat menjadi kewajiban bagi para pemimpin daerah dan nasional. Kemudian, para pemimpin lintas agama harus mengedepankan pola berpikir dan bersikap dengan mengedepankan sikap moderat yang menempatkan sisi kemanusiaan pada tataran utama dibandingkan dengan latar belakang kelompok dan agama. Selain itu, umat beragama harus mampu mengesampingkan egoisme dan sikap apriori dalam berinteraksi dengan umat beragama lain dan para pemuka agama berkewajiban mengkomunikasikan pesan-pesan perdamaian dan kerukunan dalam bingkai kemajemukan. Studi ini berkontribusi bagi pengembangan model komunikasi dalam penyelesaian konflik antar agama.

Published: July 2023

Da'wah to prisoners requires the right strategic approach. This study aims to find out how da'wah communication strategies are used by da'i in carrying out da'wah among Nganjuk prisoners. The research method used is observation and interviews as well as Miles and Huberman analysis. Research informants were the head of the Nganjuk remand center, lecturers at the detention center, and the prisoners themselves. The results of this study indicate that preachers who are given assignments in detention centers have adequate scientific competence, so that da'wah is in accordance with the mad'u faced (narapida). The majority of inmates in detention centers are those caught in drugs. The average drug case is a teenager. The challenge faced by preachers is the lack of role for prisoners in participating in da'wah activities in detention centers. This is because the inmates' memory has been drained by sedatives. Efforts made by the IIB Nganjuk detention center in implementing da'wah communication within the prisoner's environment are by applying bil lisan (oral da'wah) approach through lectures/recitations, bil qalam through religious books, and bil hal by giving direct examples to inmates. In addition, the most important thing is that the preachers try to understand the psychology or tendencies of each prisoner and not look down on them. This study contributes to the development of da'wah models for groups that are considered marginal. ***Dakwah pada narapidana memerlukan pendekatan strategi yang tepat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana strategi komunikasi dakwah yang digunakan da’i dalam melakukan dakwah di kalangan narapidana Nganjuk. Metode penelitian yang dipakai ialah observasi dan wawancara serta analisis Miless and Huberman. Informan penelitian ialah kepala rutan Nganjuk, penceramah di rutan, dan narapidana sendiri. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwasanya da’i yang diberikan tugas di Rutan memiliki kompotensi keilmuwan yang memadai, sehingga dakwah menjadi sesuai dengan mad’u yang dihadapi (narapida). Mayoritas narapidana di Rutan ialah mereka yang terjerat narkoba. Rata-rata yang berkasus narkoba ialah manusia yang berusia remaja. Tantangan yang dihadapi da'i adalah kurangnya peran napi dalam mengikuti kegiatan dakwah di rutan. Pasalnya, daya ingat para napi sudah terkuras oleh obat penenang. Upaya yang dilakukan oleh rumah tahanan IIB Nganjuk dalam implementasi komunikasi dakwah di lingkungan narapidana adalah dengan menerapkan pendekatan dakwah bil lisan melalui ceramah/pengajian, bil qalam melalui buku-buku agama, dan bil hal dengan memberikan contoh teladan langsung kepada narapidana. Di samping itu, yang terpenting adalah para da’i berusaha memahami psikologi atau kecenderungan masing-masing narapidana serta tidak memandang mereka rendah. Kajian ini berkontribusi bagi pengembangan model dakwah pada kalangan yang dianggap marjinal.

Authors: Luo Chengcai
Published: July 2023

In order to improve the regional planning ability of land acquisition for water conservancy and hydropower construction, a technology of land acquisition area mapping for water conservancy and hydropower construction based on UAV aerial survey is proposed. This technology uses UAV aerial survey remote sensing detection technology to realize remote sensing image monitoring of land acquisition planning for water conservancy and hydropower construction, so as to improve the accuracy and efficiency of regional planning. This technology mainly extracts information such as edge contours, key feature points, and texture pixels from remote sensing images for land acquisition mapping in water conservancy and hydropower construction. The line element feature distribution points monitored by drones scatter remote sensing images as the data source, and linear object segmentation detection processing method is used for analysis. Based on the clustering characteristics of geometric attributes such as dams, water body characteristics, fence facilities, and power generation equipment in water conservancy and hydropower construction, a regional clustering analysis model for land acquisition mapping in water conservancy and hydropower construction is established using the diversity clustering method of different terrain and geomorphic feature distribution patterns. By utilizing the regional distribution fusion of concave and convex terrain, detecting and quantitatively estimating the spatial resolution and complexity of land acquisition for water conservancy and hydropower construction, optimizing the mapping of land acquisition areas for water conservancy and hydropower construction, and providing data basis for land acquisition protection management in water conservancy and hydropower construction planning. The experiment shows that this method has good output resolution, land planning ability, and classification performance for different types of land acquisition for water conservancy and hydropower construction, and has broad prospects for promotion and application in practical applications.

The number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia is still lagging behind several other countries. This shows a lack of entrepreneurship intention among youth. This research was conducted based on the gap in the results of previous research and differences in the focus of discussion on several factors that affect the entrepreneurial intention of university students. This study analyzes and determines the effect of motivation, family environment, entrepreneurship education, and income expectations on student entrepreneurship intention. This study's population was all university students in Bali, with a research sample of 250 respondents. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that motivation, family environment, entrepreneurship education, and income expectations positively and significantly influenced student entrepreneurship intention. To increase motivation, students must believe that entrepreneurship can deliver the desired standard of living. To improve the family environment, students must feel their parents will always support and help them in entrepreneurship. To increase income expectations, students must be sure that by becoming an entrepreneur, they will earn greater and even unlimited income than being an employee. Aspects that need to be considered to improve entrepreneurship education are that students must take entrepreneurship courses, seminars, and entrepreneurship education well.
Comprehensive government programs for indigenous peoples in the Philippines
Authors: Baco Jr. Ignie V.
Published: July 2023

This mixed-method study explores government programs aimed at the development of indigenous peoples (IPs) in Panay Island, Philippines. The research examines the socio-demographic profile of IPs, their level of awareness, satisfaction, and attitude towards government programs. It also investigates the significant relationships between the level of awareness, satisfaction, and attitude of IPs towards these programs. Additionally, the study identifies the challenges encountered by the government and IPs in implementing development programs through interviews. Quantitative data were collected using a questionnaire with field inquiries. The results reveal that IPs in Panay Island are comprised of two major ethnic groups. The majority of IPs are married, have an elementary level of education, are in their fifties, self-employed, and hold temporary land status with minimal earnings. IPs demonstrated moderate awareness of Republic Act 8371, their rights to the ancestral domain, the rights of women and children, cultural integrity, and their right against discrimination, as well as other government programs addressing health and gender issues. The level of awareness towards government programs was associated with variables such as sex, income, educational attainment, and employment status. Satisfaction levels varied according to the province of residence, land status, and ethnic group. IPs generally welcome government support and interventions, particularly in the titling of their ancestral domain, but exhibit reservations regarding their customary practices and beliefs. Attitudes toward the government were influenced by variables such as sex, age, educational attainment, income, province of origin, land status, and ethnic group. Significant correlations were found between awareness, satisfaction, and attitude. Insufficient fund allocation was identified as a hindrance to the implementation of government programs.
Revisiting the Experience of Art Therapists and Drama Therapists Working in Schools Two Years after the First Lockdown: A Qualitative Pilot
Authors: Mashiah Hofit Edna , Pendzik Susana
Published: July 2023

This paper follows a preliminary study that examined how 6 (n = 6) creative arts therapists (3 art therapists and 3 drama therapists) coped with the transition to remote therapy in schools during the first lockdown in Israel due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The preliminary research explored the therapists’ experiences and views about working online upon returning to regular in-person meetings. The current paper adds a follow-up interview examining their perspective on this period, two years later. The 1st set of interviews was analyzed using the Six-Key Model, which shed light on the various aspects of the therapists’ clinical experience as creative arts therapists. The follow-up interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis and informed by Lakoff’s views on metaphor. The results suggest that, at the time, the therapists were preoccupied with the viability of the treatment, considering their little experience in remote therapy and the need to incorporate their specific art medium into the therapeutic setting. The results also highlight specific similarities and differences between art and drama therapists. The follow-up reinforces the preliminary findings, reiterating the framing of this period as a liminal space, from which the therapists emerged personally and professionally transformed, and more resilient.
