Gendered Language in Different Cultural and Media Contexts
Authors: Zi Chunmei
Published: August 2024

This study attempts to explore how language expresses gender in different cultural and media contexts and how these expressions shape and reflect existing gender norms. Through in-depth analyses of the use of gendered language in American television advertisements, Japanese social media and South African textbooks, the paper seeks to demonstrate how language plays a key role in maintaining existing gender norms and challenging them. The study employs symbolic interactionism and critical social theory to analyse the collected data in detail with a view to better understanding the role of language in shaping gendered cognitive and behavioral patterns. In addition, the article explores the social effects of gender expressions in advertising, social media and educational materials, and based on the results of these analyses, a series of suggestions for promoting gender equality and diversity are proposed. By synthesizing cases from these different scenarios, the study aims to highlight the importance of understanding and changing gender expressions in order to promote a more egalitarian and inclusive social environment.
A Study on Mother-daughter Relationships Analyzed from the Perspective of Feminism: Focusing on K-Drama The Glory
Authors: Liu Qiannan
Published: August 2024

As feminism spreads from western countries to Asia, the voices of women have been heard all over the world. There is also a great deal of literary works created by women and the female roles in some works attract East Asian scholars to analyze from the perspective of feminism. Focusing on the popular Netflix drama The Glory in 2023, written by Kim Eun-sook, this study analyzed images and relationships of two mother-daughter pairs. It also discussed social problems hidden in such mother-daughter relationships, thus gaining a more explicit understanding of the author’s way of character description from the perspective of feminism. In other words, there is the opposite mother-daughter relationship caused by social problems like the first pair and a complete mutual-aid relationship caused by social problems like the second pair. This study is expected to be conducive to the establishment of benign mother-daughter relationships in real life, propose some suggestions for the depiction of mother-daughter relationships and innovation of women’s images in future literary works, and trigger authors’ reflection on the balance between commercial value and conceptual expression of scripts.

Authors: Zhang Ying
Published: August 2024

Given the high volume of express delivery in universities and the inadequate recycling system for express packaging boxes, this paper studies a reverse logistics network for express packaging boxes based on green logistics. Green logistics mainly refers to the sustainable development model of express delivery aimed at reducing resource consumption and environmental pollution during the logistics process. This paper constructs a reverse logistics optimization model for express packaging boxes, aiming to minimize the total cost of reverse logistics by recycling express packaging to reduce environmental pollution while maximizing social benefits. At the same time, triangular fuzzy numbers were used to define the uncertainty parameters in the text, and feasibility theory was used to equivalently transform the constraint conditions of the model by setting parameters such as confidence levels. The experimental results indicate that the model can realistically simulate the decision-making process of reverse logistics network for university express delivery packaging boxes, and is feasible; The Lingo program can effectively assist in finding the best solution.

Compare the Influence of Masculinity on Gender Equality in Thailand and China
Authors: Zhang Ziyan
Published: August 2024

The academic definition of masculinity is a concept that encompasses men's gender temperament, gender roles, gender norms, power order, and other related aspects. The persistent presence of unequal gender regimes can be explained by the concept of hegemonic masculinity, in particular. The paper compares the masculinity of Chinese and Thai men, examining how differing societal status and national cultures influence masculinity. Both countries exhibit a lack of value for domestic work and father absence in child-rearing, reflecting a dominance of male-centric masculinity. However, China shows progress in women's economic and social status, with gender equality being a state policy. In Thailand, Brahmanism influences the perception of male superiority, leading to a feminine transformation among men. Thailand exhibits more sexual liberty, particularly accepting of transsexuality, unlike China where LGBTQ+ students face gender-based bullying. Suggestions for improvement include enhancing the educational role of fathers, promoting gender equality in Thai education and homes, and respecting children's gender expression in China. The study acknowledges limitations, notably the lack of recent data on masculinity changes in Thailand, suggesting further research in the future.

Published: August 2024

Kidney function disorders refer to a condition where the kidneys' ability to filter metabolic waste from the blood and excrete it through urine is compromised. Cystatin C serves as a sensitive and specific biomarker for measuring glomerular filtration rate, accurately reflecting kidney function. This study aims to evaluate Cystatin C levels based on gender among patients with kidney function disorders at the Prodia Cibubur clinic laboratory. The research was conducted from February to March 2023 using a descriptive cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 120 patients with kidney function disorders selected through total sampling. The findings indicate that 16 patients (13.3%) had normal Cystatin C levels, while 104 patients (86.7%) had elevated Cystatin C levels. Notably, among males, 61 individuals (50.8%) tended to exhibit higher Cystatin C levels, suggesting a greater potential for kidney function disorders due to factors such as activity intensity, body mass influence, and hormonal factors.
Exploring Cross-Reactivity Among Hen, Duck, and Quail Eggs in Children with Hen’s Egg Allergy
Authors: Koomthong Tanaporn , Suwan Panadda , Takkinsatian Preyanit
Published: August 2024

OBJECTIVE: To investigate cross-reactivity among hen, duck, and quail eggs in children with suspected egg allergy.METHODS: A cross-sectional study enrolled 20 children with a history consistent with egg allergy. Specific immunoglobulin E levels to hen’s egg white and egg yolk, skin prick test (SPT) to fresh raw hen, duck, and quail eggs, and oral food challenges in selected cases were performed for egg allergy evaluation. Thirty children with a clear history of egg tolerance were recruited as a control group. SPT were performed according to standardized protocols by trained personnel. Mean wheal diameter from SPT measured cross-reactivity and Spearman’s correlation examined the cross-reactivity pattern.RESULTS: The median age of participants with suspected egg allergy was 1.1 years and 3.6 years for the control group. Reported allergic reactions when entering the study were primarily to hen eggs, mainly urticaria/angioedema (70%). Anaphylaxis occurred in 20%. Participants with suspected hen’s egg allergy were sensitized to at least one of the avian eggs, while controls showed a negative response. Among these participants, SPT positivity rate for quail eggs was high (60% for whites and 55% for yolks), followed by duck eggs (50% for whites and 30% for yolks). Moderate correlations were found between egg whites and egg yolks within each egg type. A negative correlation was found between henegg whites and duck egg yolks (r = -0.127), and hen and duck eggs showed a weak correlation (r = 0.169–0.259). Patients with multiple egg sensitizations had a higher prevalence of earlier age of first reaction (p = 0.049) and a maternal history of atopy (p = 0.03).CONCLUSION: This study suggests lower sensitization rates to duck eggs. Evaluating duck egg reactivity could benefit children with suspected hen’s egg allergy.
Bilateral Lumbar Hernia: A Case Report
Authors: Karahan Furkan , Atasever Ahmet , Atay Arif , Dilek Osman Nuri
Published: August 2024

Lumbar hernias are a relatively uncommon occurrence, with two main categories: congenital and acquired. Some acquired hernias are spontaneous, while others are the result of secondary factors such as trauma and surgery. Bilateral primary lumbar hernia is a much rarer occurrence. Abdominal computed tomography is the gold standard for differential diagnosis of bilateral primary lumbar hernia. The treatment plan entails the closure of the defect through either open or laparoscopic methods, accompanied by the use of a suitable mesh to provide support. Nevertheless, no surgical method has yet been identified as the standard procedure for reducing the risk of relapse. We present the case of a 73-year-old female patient who presented with complaints of swelling in the left lumbar region and abdominal pain. The patient exhibited bilateral lumbar hernia. The hernial sac on the left side contained intra-abdominal organs. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography. The defect on the left was subsequently closed with mesh following the dissection of the hernia sac. In this study, we present a case of bilateral lumbar hernia in the context of existing literature. The objective of this study was to assist clinicians in accurately diagnosing and appropriately managing this condition.

Published: August 2024

AIM: Pressure ulcers are a prevalent health concern, often leading to severe complications if not diagnosed and treated promptly. This study introduces the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE)-Inception model, which integrates SE blocks into the Inception architecture, aiming to enhance classification performance in medical image analysis.   
METHODS: The performance of the SE-Inception model was compared to the Xception and Inception v4 models. Key performance metrics such as accuracy, Area Under the Curve (AUC), recall, and Harmonic Mean of Precision and Recall (F1 score) were used to evaluate its efficacy. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (Grad-CAM) heatmaps were utilized to provide interpretable visual evidence consistent with expert annotations.   
RESULTS: The SE-Inception model demonstrated superior accuracy (93%) and AUC (94%), with high recall and F1 scores, indicating its efficacy in reducing false negatives and improving diagnostic reliability.   
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the promising outcomes, the study acknowledges the limitation of dataset homogeneity and suggests further validation with diverse datasets for enhanced scalability. The findings support the inclusion of the SE-Inception model in clinical settings to improve diagnostic precision and patient care, particularly in nursing practices for effective pressure ulcer management.

AIM: Intraventricular glioblastomas (IVGBMs) are rare tumors within the central nervous system characterized by unique challenges in diagnosis and management due to their location within the ventricular system. Despite their rarity, these tumors necessitate comprehensive study to refine diagnostic approaches and optimize therapeutic strategies. 
METHODS: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases to identify relevant literature published up to January 2024. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies in English focusing on clinical characteristics, radiological features, pathology, and treatment of IVGBM. Data synthesis and analysis followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. 
RESULTS: Twenty-four articles met the inclusion criteria, comprising 47 patients with IVGBM. The median age was 47 years, with a male predominance (32 males, 15 females). Common symptoms included increased intracranial pressure and seizures. Tumors predominantly affected the lateral ventricles (body and trigone). Surgical resection (subtotal or gross total) was the primary treatment approach, with adjuvant therapies (radiotherapy, chemotherapy) administered postoperatively. 
CONCLUSIONS: IVGBM present distinct diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their ventricular location. Current treatments primarily involve surgical resection followed by adjuvant therapies, though outcomes remain guarded. Further research is needed to enhance understanding and management of this rare glioblastoma subset.
Sacred space of the Jochid Ulus: Saraychik and Barсhinkent
Authors: Taleev Dokei A.
Published: August 2024

The study of the history of the emergence and development of medieval cities in Kazakhstan remains one of the most difficult and important tasks of modern research. A comprehensive study of hillforts allows us to determine both the general features of urban development and the peculiarities of the formation of individual urban settlements. The cities of Saraychik on the Ural (Zhaiq) River and Barchinkent in the lower reaches of the Syr Darya River were not only large commercial and economic, but also spiritual centers of the Jochid Ulus. Having developed as cities during the Mongol period, they played an important role in the political life of the Golden Horde. The fate of Saraychik and Barchinkent is closely connected with the general course of the history of this state. Written sources and materials from many years of archaeological research indicate that the heyday of both cities coincides with the time of rising, and the beginning of decline and desolation – with the beginning of the collapse of the Golden Horde. The enthronement of khans of Berke, Janibek and other representatives of Juchids in Saraychik, and then the emergence of a necropolis where the remains of several rulers of the Golden Horde had been buried, led to the beginning of the sacralization of the place. By the 14th century, Barchinkent became famous as a city where many preachers of Islam and Sharia scholars lived, who played a significant role in spreading Islam among the population of the Jochid Ulus. Excavations in Saraychik and Barchinkent (Kyshqala hillfort) made it possible to identify the location and historical names of cities, the time of their origin and growth, as well as to determine the features of functioning as centers of international trade, crafts and culture.

Published: August 2024

The article deals with the study of the Bronze Age settlements of the Ustyurt Plateau (North-Eastern Caspian region). The work provides data illustrating the stages of studying ancient history monuments on the territory of the Ustyurt Plateau. More than a thousand years have passed from the first mentions of the Ustyurt Plateau in written sources to its comprehensive study. Scientific research conducted until the middle of the 20th century primarily concerned the study of climate, soils, geological exploration, and the possibility of economic development of land. The second half of the 20th century became a defining stage in the study of archaeological sets. The beginning of the 21st century brought several Bronze Age settlements to the treasury of archaeological sites – Toksanbay, Aitman, Manaysor. The work of the West Kazakhstan Archaeological Expedition of the Margulan Institute of Archaeology under the leadership of Zainolla Samashev and with the active participation of Antonina Ermolaeva and Lev Galkin, in fact, became a launching pad for the accumulation of archaeological material of this era. Thanks to the state strategic project "Cultural Heritage" in 2004-2009, a systematic study of these settlements was carried out. To obtain complete information, an integrated approach was used, involving specialists in related natural sciences. As a result of many years of research of the structural elements of dwellings, it was possible to study in detail the building materials used, analyze the methods of erecting a dwelling, elements of structures, the shape and size of the pit, the system of arrangement of post holes in the floor of the room, roofing techniques, which made it possible to reconstruct dwelling No. 2 of the Toksanbay Settlement. The obtained materials made it possible to identify the development of handicraft production, study the ritual practices of the settlement’s inhabitants, and trace the adaptation options of the population to difficult natural and climatic conditions.
Mistikus Cinta dalam Sejarah Gereja: Sebuah Apresiasi Kritis bagi Spiritualitas yang Dinamis
Authors: Prabowo Paulus Dimas
Published: August 2024

Protestantism is considered a movement for the desacralization of Christianity which tends to prioritize doctrinal knowledge over spiritual experience. In fact, the Protestant Christian movement is seen as the fruit of the Enlightenment era. In fact, the aspect of affection or feeling does not have a place in this tradition, let alone spirituality and mysticism. The term 'mysticism' is even considered something evil. However, history seems to be filled with church mystics, some of whom influenced the thinking of the reformers. Those who understand the theology of mystical love are recorded as having a very deep experience of faith with God. This article seeks to provide a critical appreciation of the mysticism of love in church history and how this understanding contributes to the spirituality of Christians today. The method used is literature study, involving primary and secondary sources.

With the constant increase in news about cyber attacks, interest in the topic is also growing, especially in relation to data protection measures. Some individuals try to alert companies about possible thefts and leaks, but illegally. These attacks, commonly carried out by people known as hackers, leave organizations vulnerable. In response, many companies have invested in pentesting — security tests that simulate attacks on an infrastructure to identify and highlight vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Pentesters, the professionals responsible for these tests, are increasingly in demand globally, mainly due to the increase in malicious attacks. In this context, the ethics of hackers who act anonymously are often questioned, as they appropriate sensitive information. The purpose of the present study is therefore to understand the role of companies in protecting the data they store and the ethics involved in the practice of pentesting in a controlled environment.

Introduction: Traffic accidents are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1.35 million people die each year in these accidents, and many are injured or disabled. In Brazil, this problem also represents a major public health challenge, being responsible for around 42 thousand deaths annually. Objectives: The study aimed to analyze the mortality rate from traffic accidents in Brazil from 2011 to 2019, describing regional aspects and these rates between men and women in the country. Methodology: This is a retrospective, descriptive ecological study, combining the description of time series from the period 2010 to 2019. Results: The tables discussed demonstrate the rates of traffic accidents in the proposed period, which was based on the premise that the mortality rate from traffic accidents in the period mentioned continues to rise, given that there is greater notification of this problem. However, according to this study, it was noted that it was the opposite, that is, these data followed a descending scale. Conclusion: This study analyzed the serious issue of traffic accidents in Brazil, revealing not only their alarming dimensions in terms of morbidity and mortality, but also the complex interactions between socioeconomic, behavioral and infrastructural factors that contribute to this scenario in Brazil.
