Authors: Siegmund-Schultze Reinhard
Published: December 2024

For the investigation of German-speaking and non-German-speaking academic emigration during the rule of the Nazi regime in Germany (1933–1945), the files of the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning (SPSL), now located at the Bodleian Library in Oxford, U.K., are a particularly valuable source for historical analysis. The present article looks at the situation of the German-speaking mathematical refugees who immigrated to or emigrated from Czechoslovakia for political reasons in the period under question. The SPSL files are used for the first for this purpose.
Konec „nenahraditelného muže“. Likvidace R. Heydricha v lékařském kontextu. II. část

Published: December 2024

The end of the ‘irreplaceable man.’ The liquidation of Reinhard Heydrich in a medical context. Part II.

The assassination of Reinhard Heydrich represents an important event in twentieth-century Czech and European history. Despite the fact that there exists extensive literature on this subject, what has been missing is an overview that would, based on accessible archive sources and published knowledge, summarize his medical treatment after the attack from May 27 to June 4, 1942. Yet the outcome of the medical care he received in many ways played a crucial role. The aim of the present study is therefore to offer such a summary in the context of the history of medicine and in connection with the state of medical practice in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the link between digestive health and mental well-being through the gut-brain axis, with a focus on microbial composition, dietary patterns, and psychological outcomes in a local population. Methodology: A retrospective study was conducted at the Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, between April 2022 to March 2023. A total of 323 participants were included, with 162 patients having gastrointestinal disorders and 161 controls. Data on demographics, dietary patterns, microbial composition, and psychological well-being were analyzed. Independent t-tests and chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: Patients with gastrointestinal disorders exhibited significantly higher anxiety (11.2 ± 4.5 vs. 6.8 ± 3.9, p < 0.001) and depression scores (10.4 ± 4.1 vs. 5.7 ± 3.5, p < 0.001) compared to controls. Microbial dysbiosis was more prevalent in the gastrointestinal disorder group (63%) than in controls (32%, p < 0.001). Traditional dietary patterns were associated with gastrointestinal disorders (p = 0.032). Demographics showed no significant differences in age (p = 0.246) or sex (p = 0.431). Conclusion: The findings confirm a strong association between gut health and mental well-being, emphasizing the role of microbial dysbiosis and dietary patterns.

Authors: Oliveira Vitor Hugo Sousa
Published: December 2024

Por meio do romance Eu, Tituba: bruxa negra de Salem (2019), a escritora guadalupense Maryse Condé ficcionaliza a história de Tituba, mulher escravizada e vítima dos julgamentos de bruxaria na Salem (EUA) no século XVII, que outrora foi esquecida pela “História oficial”. Diante disso, nesta pesquisa bibliográfico-exploratória com abordagem qualitativa, busca-se investigar as questões memorialísticas no romance de Condé à luz da crítica materialista. Com base em Assmann (2011), Candido (1985) e hooks (2014), conclui-se que nuances de luto e trauma estão presentes na colcha de retalhos memorialísticos costurados pela narradora autodiegética, Tituba, a partir do processo de rememoração.

شعرية التناوب الأسلوبي في "القصيدة الدمشقية" لنزار قباني

بناءً على أن الشعر فنٌّ لغويُّ الماهية، وعلى أن الوظيفة الجمالية هي الوظيفة المهيمنة في الخطاب الشعري، كان من الطبيعي أن تكون اللغة هي البوابة الرئيسة للدخول في عوالم القصيدة الانفعالية والدلالية، وذلك بربْطِ عناصر تشكيلها اللغوي بوظائفها الجمالية، وفي هذا السياق يأتي هذا البحث استمرارًا لجهود سابقة قائمة على التسليم بأن المنهج اللغوي هو المنهج الأكثر مناسبة لتحليل النص الشعري، وهو منهج يقوم على ربْطِ عناصر التشكيل اللغوي للقصيدة في مستوياتها المختلفة؛ الصوتية والمعجمية والصرفية والنحوية والنصِّية، بما يتراءى لها في مخيال التلقي وتذوُّقه من دورٍ في إنجاز شعرية النصِّ، لذا حاول هذا البحث ربْطَ عناصر التشكيل اللغوي في واحدة من عيون شعْرِ نزار قباني، بما لهذه العناصر من مكانة في إنجاز شعريتها، وذلك بضوابط يمكن إجمالها بأن تحليل النظير يُسْتَغنى عنه بتحليل نظيره، وأن الأدوات النقدية لدى الدارس لا تقوى بالضرورة على كشّفِ كلِّ تجليات شعرية النصِّ، إضافة إلى التسليم بأن في النصِّ الشعري عناصرَ محايدةً فنيًّا، وأن كثيًرا من الظواهر الجمالية تُمارِس فعْلَها التواصلي من غيْرِ قابلية للتحليل بالأدوات الإجرائية المتاحة.

Destanlar birçok sözlü kültür ürününü, tarihi, coğrafi, efsanevi, mitolojik unsurları içerisinde barındıran, çok geniş kapsamlı metinlerdir. Türk ve dünya destanlarının birçoğu aslında aynı destanın farklı varyantlarıdır. İnsanlık geniş bir alana yayıldıkça, insanların eski ortak köklerinden getirdikleri birçok sözlü kültür ürünü de farklı varyantları oluşturmuş, zamanla ayrı sözlü kültür ürünleri haline gelmişlerdir. Ataları ve Türkler, tarihi süreçte geniş bir coğrafyaya yayıldıkça, eskiden gelen ortak sözlü kültür ürünleri de varyantlaşmış, yeni sözlü kültür ürünlerini oluşturmuştur. Çok sayıda evrensel değeri içerisinde barındıran Dede Korkut geçmişle geleceği birleştirmektedir. Dede Korkut, Türk milletinin ve bütün insanlığın zenginliği, ortak değeri, mirasıdır.

The aim of this case report is to present an aesthetic restoration of the anterior dentition using the feldspathic ceramic veneers. The current study narrows down the analysis to a clinical case where lithium disilicate restorations had an inadequate esthetic result that involved uneven color and the clearly visible discoloration of the substrate. To solve such problems and at the same time maintain esthetics, feldspathic veneers were placed on the teeth. The outcome of the study revealed that the utilisation of feldspathic veneers offers a viable and cosmetically satisfactory solution to the issue of colour differences and surface porosity. A veneer is only successful if it is prepared properly, bonded well, and is made out of feldspathic ceramics which are inherently esthetic. This case thus provides an excellent case against some of the arguments that feldspathic veneers are very poor under heavily reduced circumstance by showcasing how these ceramics can perform well even under these circumstances. The research presented in the work increases the interest in using feldspathic ceramics in restorative dentistry and specific cases, in particular.

Aim and objectives: The objective of this evaluation was to assess data regarding the frequency, guidelines, and products associated with oral hygiene (OH) in orthodontic patients.
Material and methods; This study was a analysis conducted among orthodontic patients. Thirty patients, comprising twenty-five in the fixed orthodontic appliance and five in the removable orthodontic cohort, satisfied the inclusion criteria. A paired t-test was performed on all tested variables to evaluate intra-group and inter-group differences at each observation. p value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: All of the patients in the control and study groups were comparable regarding age, gender and initial plaque and gingival indices values ​​(p > 0.05). The eighth week plaque and gingival indices of the test group were also significantly lower than those of the control group (p < 0.001).
Conclusions: Our findings indicate that conventional verbal and written instructional treatments are more effectively complemented by hands-on assisted training programs, contingent upon the orthodontist's limitations. A longer educational intervention correlates with improved preservation of plaque and gingival indices.

Islamisasi Ilmu Persfektif Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
Authors: Siraj Diffa Cahyani
Published: December 2024

Realitas dunia Islam saat ini, ilmu pengetahuan modern atau sains modern itu diproduksi dari dunia Barat. Dalam hal ini, Prof. Syed. Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas, mencanangkan gagasan dan isi pemikirannya berupa islamisasi ilmu. Menurut beliau, ilmu yang hari ini berada dan dikonsumsi secara akademik di dunia muslim itu sudah tidak netral atau sudah dipengaruhi oleh worldview Barat (yang tidak sesuai dengan culture dunia muslim). Sumber ilmu pengetahuan yang mereka gunakan hanya terbatas pada akal dan panca indera, sedangkan kita tidak terbatas pada dua hal tersebut saja, melainkan kita meyakini bahwa adanya wahyu dari Allah SWT yaitu Al-Qur’an. Upaya islamisasi ilmu oleh A-Attas, tidak lain untuk membebaskan dunia muslim dari kendali sekuler, membersihkan unsur-unsur menyimpang dari pemikiran dan peradaban Barat. Pun usaha ini dilakukan untuk mengembangkan kembali kepribadian muslim yang sebenarnya, dimana dengan islamisasi tersebut akan terlahirlah kedamaian, ketenangan, keamanan, kebaikan, keadilan, dan kekuatan iman. Barulah kita benar-benar bisa merasakan dan sadar bahwa Islam itu rahmatan lil ‘alamin.

Disengagement Is Not an Option: Why Repatriation of ISIS Brides Must Contain a De-radicalization Component
Authors: Singh Emily
Published: December 2024

The relationship between a state and non-state actors can be a complicated one, even more so, when the non-state actor is allegedly affiliated with an unprecedented terrorist organization abroad. 2020 marks six years since the rise and fall of the Islamist group Islamic State (or Daesh) “Caliphate” in Iraq and Syria. A 2018 study done by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization (ICSR) found that 41,490 citizens from 80 countries had gone to Iraq and Syria to join the terrorist organization. Of that number, researchers found that 4,640 were women. With the fall of the Caliphate, many of those women ended up in camps and are now requesting leniency and repatriation from their home countries. This paper argues that should countries choose to repatriate their female ISIS citizens (and subsequently their children), then imbued in the repatriation process ought to be a framework for de-radicalization or attitudinal modification rather than disengagement (behavioral modification).
A study of climate refugees in Asia within special reference to Pakistan & Mongolia
Authors: Bansal Meenakshi , Deng Yutong
Published: December 2024

In this paper, we dissected the impact of environmentally relevant factors on climate refugees in Pakistan and Mongolia. The research methodology is analytical in nature, where mainly secondary data has been collected from secondary sources. Case studies are conducted from multiple data sources to understand the situation and challenges faced by climate refugees in different regions. The case studies use more than one form of data from different paradigms within the research paradigm. Still, we will explore the situation of climate refugees primarily through big data content. The analyses included the impact of climate factors, which demonstrates the effects of temperature, water issues, and demographic factors on climate refugees in Pakistan and Mongolia, leading them to migrate. The Pakistan and Mongolia regions face higher migration due to the negative effects of temperature, water issues, and demographic factors.
Kenning the novelty of New Wars
Authors: Shahbaz Muhammad
Published: December 2024

War has long been part of human history, and its atrocities have made it part of academic practice to avoid it in the best possible manner. To understand the intensity of an issue, one must investigate it. The decades-long debate over the changing characteristics of war has blurred the actual concept of war. Advancements in technology and globalization have changed the conduct of war to a new form. This paper synthesizes the conception of war and tries to differentiate it from the new war. It presents arguments from both sides: the new war and orthodox war scholars. It later presents the old war scholar's defense that war has not changed its nature. It also presents Clausewitz's War Studies as a litmus test for the "new wars" scholar's claim. It emphasizes the outcomes, goals, and actors of warring parties as a foundation for new war scholars.
The False Pretense of Financial Disclosure by a Judiciary
Authors: Hackney Travis
Published: December 2024

The conduct of judges in the State of Illinois is governed by the Illinois Supreme Court Code of Judicial Conduct, for which there is established case history at the circuit, appellate, and supreme court levels within the state judiciary.  Both Judges and Lawyers are licensed through the IL State Bar Association.  The governing bodies that manage their discipline are the Judicial Inquiry Board and the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, respectively. Lawyers and Judges are given unique identifiers in the form of Lawyer ID numbers and Judge ID numbers.  Judges must disclose financial records periodically, and the information they have to disclose changes as a matter of law periodically.  Records have been requested and paid for as a charitable donation to CIRIS, and the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois has indicated shipment of the records via email with a confirmation number, and those records have been received and analyzed.  The judges’ service periods and professional backgrounds are available and verifiable via the internet, including photographs.  
As it relates to the public records, rulings, and eDockets, as well as the associated forms and filings, all of which are maintained by municipal, county, district, and state records, as well as within third-party filing systems (TylerHost) all of these systems have been designed to function in an operational environment constrained by the challenges of various logistical challenges, most especially a biological agent.  Commercial data providers (TrellisLaw, Ballotpedia, LexisNexis) have monetized public records, and the Clerks/Law libraries at the associated jurisdictional levels are resources for study as well. 
*In the attached file, you can find the following documents: rules, rule change, instructions, judges’ files, and litigants’ requirements. Notice the double standard, and why CASA exists. This calls for more research on this topic.
Outer Space Security: An exploration of the U.S. Space Force’s area of operations
Authors: Johnson Erick
Published: December 2024

uter space was an uncontested domain after the conclusion of the Cold War and remained so for many years. However, in recent years, state and non-state actors have begun venturing into outer space. This has resulted in outer space shifting from a domain dominated by the United States to a domain that is congested with activity, competition for space services, and contested by near-peer adversaries. Whom of which are creating counter-space capabilities. State actors such as Russia and China are near-peer adversaries that are emerging into the outer space domain. Thus, a threat to the national security of the United States. This has led to outer space phasing from an uncontested domain to a contested one. The current bureaucratic setup was deemed inadequate to sufficiently compete with near-peer adversaries. This led Congress to legislate the creation of the U.S Space Force. This paper will explore the area of operations that the U.S Space Force is responsible for. This project will aim to identify the American perceived threats that exist in outer space. It will also explore what outer space security means. To analyze what is in space that a state actor wants to be secure from.
The Strategic Culture of Trump’s America NATO Policy: A Neoclassical Realist Approach
Authors: Borges Lauro
Published: December 2024

Systemic imperatives are considered the major shaping factor of domestic intervening variables in neoclassical realism. The present article aims to study how the first shapes which variant of American strategic culture and its subcultures tends to manifest under certain structural conditions, having as object of research the Trump’s Administration NATO policy from 2017 to 2019. It was found that systemic conditions in the strategic environment, as interpreted by Trump’s foreign policy executive, favored the expression of a hardline unilateralist subculture of American strategic culture, heir of the Jacksonian tradition. However, the foreign policy executive as a whole is diverse and tends to vary between hardline unilateralists who aim to make NATO more conditional in terms of burden-sharing and conservative nationalists who reassure allies of US commitments to Europe's collective defense.
Boots on the ground: Evaluating U.S. military intervention in Ukraine.
Authors: Oudman Nikolaj
Published: December 2024

This research paper examines the argument for and against U.S. military intervention in Ukraine, specifically analyzing the concept of "boots on the ground." Utilizing the Toulmin method for critical analysis, the study addresses the complexity of the Ukraine conflict, the strategic interests of the United States, and the potential consequences of direct military involvement. The analysis highlights the multifaceted nature of the conflict, involving multiple stakeholders and shifting alliances since the Cold War. It argues that non-military support, such as material aid and intelligence, is currently sufficient and minimizes costs and risks for the U.S. The paper concludes that while there are ethical arguments for intervention to prevent human rights violations, diplomatic efforts and strategic containment are more effective in achieving long-term stability without escalating the conflict. The study suggests that direct military intervention could lead to greater loss of life and global repercussions, making it an unfavorable option for the U.S. at this time.
Geopolitics of Proliferation of Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Authors: Bidyanta Soumyadeep
Published: December 2024

The paper looks at the effects of the increased proliferation of armed UAVs. It briefly elucidates the military history of UAVs, before examining the phenomenon of proliferation of these UAVs. It looks at how both states and non-state actors have been using these increasingly. It examines the impact of drones in contemporary warfare, particularly that of low-tech and low-cost drones which operate as loitering munitions. Finally, it looks at the larger geopolitical impact of the proliferation of drones. It describes how this phenomenon has strengthened the hand of certain states like Turkey and Iran, while weakening that of states like Saudi Arabia.
How Can a Pandemic Interrupt Realism in International Diplomacy?
Authors: Batiste Dominique
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I will be executing a literary review on Francis Beer and Robert Hariman’s Nature Plays Last: Realism, Post-Realism, Post Pandemic. The primary argument associated with the literary review asks: How Can a Pandemic Interrupt Realism/ Post-Realism in International Diplomacy?In this literary review, I will be taking on Beer and Hariman’s approach on how the COVID-19 pandemic affected diplomatic relations and how it caused states to act under a realist theory viewpoint. In this piece, Beer and Hariman collaborate to take on the oldest international relations theory, which is realism, formulates a model, and shows how realist theory has been altered with the induction of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beer and Hariman’s academic collaboration brings into perspective that not only do state and non-state actors play roles, but how external factors, such as natural occurrences or medical conditions, such as a virus, can off-center what we know today as realism theory and how it can be altered by non-human elements.
Recognizing palsa and high-centered polygonal peatlands based on the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio
Authors: Vasil'chuk Alla Constantinovna , Vasil'chuk Yurij Kirillovich
Published: December 2024

The study focuses on palsa and high-centered polygonal peatlands. Engineering surveys for construction in bumpy permafrost peatlands are complicated by the lack of clear criteria for distinguishing between different types of mounds, such as palsa and high-centered polygonal peatlands. These mounds differ in height, shape, and distribution of their main engineering components. These two kinds of bumpy permafrost peatlands respond to human impact in rather different ways throughout structure operation, necessitating distinct safeguards. In this sense, techniques for more precise mound identification needs to be developed early on in engineering and environmental surveying. Examining the distribution of the carbon to nitrogen ratio in the peat that covers the mounds could be one strategy. The remaining landforms known as high-centered polygonal peat blocks were created "passively" by thermokarst processes along the frost-breaking cracks, with vein ice separating them. Palsa peat massifs are mostly found in the sporadic permafrost zone, though they are also frequently observed in the discontinuous and even continuous permafrost development zones, such as the Norilsk region, the Putorana plateau, the Mirny region of Yakutia, Chukotka and Kamchatka, etc. The thickness of peat on both convex and flat surfaces It is typically high, ranging from 1 to 3 meters, but rising to 5 meters and occasionally 8 to 9 meters on convex mounds. Palsa and high-centered polygonal peatlands exhibit distinctive genesis, height, shape, and distribution of engineering and geological characteristics, particularly ice content. Improved methods for identifying mounds during early stages of engineering and environmental studies are needed. One approach could be to analyze the carbon and nitrogen ratios in the peat covering the mounds. Palsa peatlands have higher carbon content (50-55% on average) and lower nitrogen content (0.5-2.0%) compared to high-centered polygonal peatlands (35-40% carbon and 1.5-2.5% nitrogen). The C/N value in peatlands varies, with palsa ranging from 30-36 (reaching -240) and high-centered polygonal peatlands rarely exceeding 25-27 (often 10-20).
