الفيلسوف والمجتمع تقنيات فكرية للعيش بالتفلسف في رسالة تدبير المتوحد لابن باجة انموذجاً
Authors: رؤى زبير عبد الجبار
Published: January 2023

تُعَدُ رسالة تدبير المتوحد للفيلسوف الأندلسي ابن باجة من أبرز أعماله الفلسفية، فهي جاءت كخلاصة لمجمل نتاجه الفلسفي. موضوع الرسالة يبحث في السؤال الفلسفي الكلاسيكي وهو : كيف يحيا الرجل الحكيم حياته ؟

 يتمحور الموضوع حول أخلاقيات الفيلسوف أو نمط الوجود الواجب إتباعه في المدن غير الفاضلة، حيث يقدم الفيلسوف نظرية فلسفية تحت مسمى (تدبير المتوحد) تُعنى برسم معالم أخلاقيات ظرفية تقوم على أساس الإستهداف الأخلاقي الغائي. تتأسس هذه النظرية على رؤية واقعية تحاكي الواقع المعيش كما هو قائم بالفعل.

Early-emerging gradients in children’s eye movement times in low-resource settings
Authors: Leppänen Jukka , Pyykkö Juha , Evans Denise , Coetzee Lezanie , Fink Günther , Yousafzai Aisha , Hamer David , Rockers Peter
Published: January 2023

Early brain development and skill formation vary along a socioeconomic gradient, with less favorable outcomes observed in more disadvantaged environments in low-resource countries. The onset and developmental origins of these variations are poorly understood, given lack of direct, quantitative measures. We used eye tracking to assess elementary visual behaviors in children at 7, 17, and 36 months in rural South Africa (N=374) and at 30 months in Zambia (N=270). The latency of saccadic eye movement responses to the appearance of visual objects was inversely associated with a proxy measure of the child’s socioeconomic environment (household asset ownership), with longer latencies observed in children from households with less asset-based wealth. This gradient was detectable at 7 months, increased between 7 and 36 months, was not explained by wealth-related differences in prior exposure to screens, and generalized to the latency of eye movements towards social cued objects (i.e., pointing gestures that directed the child’s attention to a specific object). Physical growth (height-for-age) and developmental milestone scores were lower in children from less wealthy households. The results provide novel quantitative metrics and evidence for very early emerging socioeconomic differences in behaviors that are mechanistically involved in learning and skill formation in early childhood.
Changes in the heartbeat-evoked potential under ventricular fibrillation: a near-death case report
Authors: Candia-Rivera Diego , Machado Calixto
Published: January 2023

Background & Purpose: Whether brain-heart communication continues under ventricular fibrillation (VF) remains to be acknowledged. There is limited evidence of the physiological changes in cortical activity under VF. Moreover, brain-heart communication has not been studied before in this condition. We aim to illustrate parallel changes in heart-rate variability, cortical activity, and brain-heart interactions in a case report undergoing VF. Methods: The case report's EEG and EKG was acquired for approximately 20h. We selected different one-minute-long segments, based on the changes in the EKG waveform. We present the changes in heartbeat-evoked responses (HERs), heart rate variability (HRV), and EEG power for each selected segment.Results: The overall physiological activity appears deteriorated in the ongoing VF. Brain-heart interactions measured with HERs disappear, with a few aberrant amplitudes appearing occasionally. The parallel changes in EEG-HRV are not pronounced, suggesting an absence of bidirectional neural control.Conclusions: The measurements of brain-heart interactions suggest that the evolving VF causes deteriorated communication between the central and autonomic nervous systems. These results may support that reduced brain-heart interactions reflect the loss of consciousness and overall health state.

A single nucleotide variant on chromosome 1 residing within ABL2 distinguishes patients with claudin-low breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2023

Molecular subtypes including the claudin-low subtype drive patient outcomes in human breast cancer but the biological basis underlying subtype-specific disease is not completely understood (1-4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover in an unbiased fashion the most distinguishing genetic and transcriptional features of tumors of each breast cancer molecular subtype. We previously described clusters of SNPs associated with the basal subtype at 5q14 (7-15), the luminal A subtype at 16p12 (16, 17) and 16q21-24 (18-25), the luminal B subtype at 12q14.3 - 12q15 (26-33), and the HER2+ subtype at 17q12 (34-38) and 17q21.1 - 17q.23.1 (39-42). Here we identified a single nucleotide polymorphism, rs10913692, residing within ABL2, as among the most significant genetic differences in the tumors of patients with claudin-low breast cancer. Analysis of patient survival data revealed that ABL2 primary tumor expression was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B breast cancer. Sequence variation in the ABL2 gene may be important in understanding differences in genetic background that favor development of claudin-low subtype human breast cancer.

Inoculation against misinformation in Australia: a replication study
Authors: McPhedran Robert , Ratajczak Michael , King Emily , Rutley Robyn
Published: January 2023

Misinformation has the potential to damage the public’s trust in governments’ policies and communications. In this large three-arm parallel online randomised controlled trial, we aimed to test the efficacy of two commonly applied misinformation interventions: false tags and psychological inoculation.Australian residents (n = 1,815) were randomly allocated to one of three experimental arms: control, false tags or inoculation. We exposed participants to 30 real-life social media posts, 15 of which were misinformation. While previous misinformation experiments have predominantly used perception- or intention-based outcome measures, our social media platform simulation measured engagement with misinformation, a more ecologically valid approach. Specifically, the ‘reactions’ of participants to each post were recorded. Using pre-registered mixed-effects logistic regression models, we found that inoculation conferred the most protection against misinformation, significantly reducing ‘likes’/‘loves’ and ‘reactions’ compared to the control. Inoculation also suppressed ‘likes’/’loves’ significantly more than false tags, the approach currently used by Meta. The results of this experiment suggest that inoculation has the potential to attenuate engagement with misinformation in Australia. The results of this study may be used by Australian regulators and social media platforms to inform future policy decisions.
Implications of and Impairment from Obsessions and Compulsions in Athletes
Authors: Lack Caleb W.
Published: January 2023

Little research has been conducted on the prevalence of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) among athletes. The only study on this specific topic published to date indicated that athletes may have higher rates of obsessive compulsive disorder than the general population (Cromer, Kaier, Davis, Stunk, & Stewart, 2017). Other studies indicate that athletes may be prone to develop pre-performance rituals to reduce anxiety and that athletic fields often reinforce perfectionism (Brooks et al., 2016; Gotwals, Stoeber, Dunn, & Stoll, 2012). Rituals for anxiety reduction and perfectionism are both highly associated with OCD. To examine the relationship between athleticism and OCD, 505 college students answered a series of questionnaires (OCI-R, FOCI, SDS) to measure their affiliation with sports and symptoms of OCD. The goals of this study were to determine whether college level athletes are more prone to symptoms of OCD than the average population, and to discover if athletes who do display symptoms of OCD have a different quality of life or level of impairment than non-athletes displaying symptoms of OCD. Contrary to expectations, the athletes reported no significantly higher or lower level of OCD symptoms than did the non-athletes, and there was no reported difference in levels of impairment or quality of life between athletes and non-athletes.
Whom Among the Wordle Gang Reigns Supreme
Authors: Shulkin Josh
Published: January 2023

Wordle is a daily word game that involves guessing an unknown five-letter word. This game was popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, very few studies have investigated individual-level characteristics that influence a person's Wordle abilities. By recruiting six members from a local Wordle Gang, I examined any potential differences in Wordle scores based on key demographic information, such as gender and whether participants were seeking higher education. Results showed that one particular participant did statistically better than all others. Additionally, those who were not seeking higher education performed better than those who were, and no gender differences were found. Implications for these striking results are discussed

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Physiologically, thyroid hormones have a vital role in maintaining metabolic balance of the human body. Subclinical hypothyroidism is often associated with hematological disorders including iron-deficiency anemia. This study aims to correlate thyroid stimulating hormone and iron profile in patients with subclinical primary hypothyroidism.
Materials and methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Nepal Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal among patients with subclinical primary hypothyroidism. The study was conducted from October 2018 to December 2019. Total of 60 patients above the age of 18 years were enrolled for the study. Thyroid function test was done by automated machine using electro chemiluminescent immunoassay technique and iron profile test was done by Immunoassay method using Vitros Analyzer. Pearson’s correlation test was applied to find the correlation between thyroid stimulating hormone and iron profile.
Results: Among the 60 participants with subclinical hypothyroidism 23% were males and 77% were females with a mean age of 43 years. The mean serum iron (male =81.14 μg/dl female = 69.5 μg/dl), mean total iron binding capacity (male =470.35 μg/dl, female = 477.94 μg/ dl) and mean ferritin level (male=91.15 μg/dl, female=95.51 μg/dl) were within reference value of our laboratory. A negative correlation was observed between thyroid stimulating hormone levels and serum iron (r=0.376, P=0.003), thyroid stimulating hormone and total iron binding capacity also showed a negative correlation (r=-0.083, P=0.27). Similarly thyroid stimulating hormone and transferrin saturation also showed a negative correlation (r=-0.098, P=0.455) whereas, a positive correlation was observed between thyroid stimulating hormone and ferritin (r=0.037, P=0.779).
Conclusions: This study concludes that thyroid stimulating hormone is negatively associated to serum iron, total iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation whereas, positively associated with ferritin among patients with subclinical hypothyroidism.

Published: January 2023

Background: Auditory differences among male and female is an underexplored topic. Sex-specific process of evolution has lead to differences in the physiology of male and female. For a long time, health equity has been confronted due to unawareness among health care providers that the findings are usually derived from research conducted among male. The objective of this study was to find differences in hearing threshold among healthy male and female. 
Materials and Methods:This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study conducted on age-matched male and female groups. Independent student's t-test was used to compare hearing thresholds at different frequencies between males and females. 
Result:There were 23 males, and 23 age-matched females recruited in the study. The mean age of male participants was 52.65±14.41 years, and that of female participants was  51.41±11.34 years. The differences in hearing threshold were not statistically significant at 250 Hertz, 500 Hertz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz, 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz of both ears. However, a higher threshold was observed in females at most frequencies.
Conclusion: Although the hearing threshold was higher among females, observed differences in the hearing threshold between males and females were not significant.
Światy bizarne Olgi Tokarczuk
Authors: Zwolińska Barbara
Published: January 2023

Artykuł podejmuje temat prawdy i tajemnicy na podstawie dwóch “dziwacznych” opowiadań Olgi Tokarczuk: “Transfugium” i “Kalendarz ludzkich świąt”. Nawiązuje do innych ważnych dla autorki Biegunów zagadnień: należą do nich wątki eko- i gynokrytyczne, widoczne m.in. w “Transfugium”, opowiadającym m.in. o pułapkach antropocentrycznego stanowiska i proponowanym wyjściu w postaci metamorfozy człowieka w zwierzę, a konkretnie w wilka. W drugim z analizowanych opowiadań uwaga skupia się na miejscu religii, Kościoła i wiary w naszym życiu, w tym wiary w prawdę objawioną i cud, oraz na tym, w jaki sposób może ona prowadzić do przewartościowania schematów i dogmatów narzucanych przez instytucję Kościoła, także w kontekście miejsca kobiet w porządku ustalonym przez hierarchów kościelnych. Choć w centrum mojej uwagi pozostają dwa opowiadania Tokarczuk, to kontekstowo odwołuję się także do twórczości węgierskiego pisarza Sándora Máraiego oraz opowiadania Gustawa Herlinga-Grudzińskiego, które niejako dialogują ze sobą w kwestii rozumienia prawdy, tajemnicy i ludzkiej potrzeby cudu, a tym samym zapewne mimowolnie nawiązują do futurologicznej refleksji Tokarczuk.
Pojęcie Gelassenheit w filozofii Martina Heideggera i Johna D. Caputo

Pojęcie Gelassenheit w filozofii Martina Heideggera i Johna D. Caputo

Autorka analizuje pojęcie Gelassenheit w pracach Martina Heideggera oraz Johna D. Caputo. Rozpoczyna od omówienia pochodzenia terminu, mianowicie pisma mistrza Eckharta należące do teologii apofatycznej. Następnie analizowane są powiązania Gelassenheit w myśli Heideggera i Caputo. Za każdym razem autorka szczególnie zwraca uwagę na etyczne konotacje tego pojęcia. Autorka podkreśla, że mimo znaczących różnic obaj autorzy używają pojęcia Gelassenheit, by zbudować swoistą etykę apofatyczną, a zatem projekt moralności odpowiadający wyjątkowym doświadczeniom, które wymykają się możliwości konceptualizacji oraz rozumienia.

Tworzy wolną od wstępnych hierarchizacji “mapęwiary i niewiary” powojennej literatury polskiej, która wrażliwa jest na różnorodność estetyczno-ideowych postaw względem chrześcijaństwa (zachodniego) jako tradycji wiodącej w polskim kręgu kulturowym.
Physiotherapists’ Perspectives on Type 2 Diabetes Management and as a Primary Condition for Referral to Physiotherapy Services: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Authors: Janssen Sarah M. , Connelly Denise M. , Gillis Heather
Published: January 2023

Purpose:

We explored the current and potential role of physiotherapists in the management of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and T2D as a primary condition for physiotherapy referral.

Methods:

We conducted a qualitative descriptive study. Participants were physiotherapists practicing in community and outpatient settings across Canada. One-on-one telephone interviews were completed to explore provision of physiotherapy care for people with T2D, including current practices and readiness of physiotherapists to provide direct care. We employed thematic analysis for generation of themes from interviews.

Results:

We interviewed 21 participants from eight provinces and territories. Three themes were generated from the data: current approach to T2D management; challenges for physiotherapy integration; and merits of physiotherapy and needed evolution. Participants described that physiotherapists are not part of the healthcare team for T2D management. There is a gap in medical management of T2D that physiotherapy would fill, that is, education and prescription for exercise participation.

Conclusions:

Our findings support a gap in the management of T2D in Canadian healthcare, particularly in reference to physiotherapy. Further, our findings support the need for greater inclusion of physiotherapists for lifestyle counseling with an emphasis on physical activity and exercise for patients at risk of and with T2D to maximize health and improve/maintain function. Studies focusing on accessibility and funding of physiotherapy services are needed to validate these findings.
Seismic damage assessment based on site observation following the Düzce (Gölyaka) earthquake (Mw = 5.9, November 23, 2022)

In this study, the seismological characteristics and recorded ground motion accelerograms of the earthquake are evaluated. The case studies of damaged reinforced concrete and masonry buildings because of the earthquake are also investigated. The factors that cause the buildings to be damaged during the earthquake are evaluated based on site observations.
Influence of uncertainty of structural parameters on the stochastic dynamic response of asphaltic lining dam-foundation systems to non-stationary random seismic excitation
Authors: Hacıefendioğlu Kemal , Başağa Hasan Basri
Published: January 2023

The present work aims toward the effect of uncertain structural parameters on the stochastic dynamic response of an asphaltic lining dam-foundation system subjected to stationary as well as non-stationary random excitation. Uncertain structural parameters of interest are shear modulus and mass density, modeled using the lognormal distribution. The stochastic seismic response of the dam-foundation system to the random loads with uncertain structural parameters is carried out with the Monte Carlo simulation method. The spatial variability of ground motion is considered with incoherence and wave passage effects as stationary as well as non-stationary random excitation. A time-dependent frequency response function is used throughout the study for non-stationary responses. Obtained results indicate that the variability of shear modulus and mass density can be neglected in stochastic dynamic analysis of an asphaltic lining dam-foundation system. Also, it is seen from the results that stationarity is a reasonable assumption for asphaltic lining dams to typical durations of strong shaking.

Published: January 2023

Determination of the structural behavior of historical monuments under different loading types is a crucial task for the preservation and conservation of these structures for transferring to future generations. In this study, the behavior of 800 years old historical Erzurum Çobandede bridge under flood load is investigated. To determine the flood load subjected to the bridge, the best probability distribution model was selected for the observed data obtained from flow gauging stations in the nearby Kağızman Basin and then flood data at different return periods were estimated with this model.

Historical masonry structures have an important place in cultural heritage. Therefore, maintenance of these structures should be made periodically to prevent natural and manmade hazards. The maintenance of these structures is divided into two parts, namely experimental and numerical applications. Experimental, especially non-destructive methods are crucial for increasing the knowledge level of historical structures. Also, experimental tests provide information data that is used in the modal updating process of numerical models. Thus, simulations that are impossible to make experimentally can be easily carried out with updated numerical models. In this paper, a historical masonry mosque called İskenderpaşa and its minaret is investigated by nondestructive experimental tests. Also, finite element models of both structures are created by ANSYS software. To obtain reliable numerical models, finite element model updating processes are made with the aid of experimental data. At the end of the study, the differences between natural frequencies are reduced from 18.6% to 4.9% for the mosque and from 15.2% to 4.8% for the minaret. According to the study, the modulus of elasticity is the most effective update parameter for both structures.
РОЗВИТОК ІНФОРМАТИВНО-КОМУНІКАТИВНИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ У ФОРМАТІ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНИХ КОНФЛІКТІВ

У статті розглянуто історичні та теоретико-методологічні підходи до аналізу інформативно-комунікативних технологій. Обґрунтовано, що базовий інформаційний процес завжди відбувався й нині проходить шляхом створення (дослідження навколишнього світу, суспільних процесів, наукового пізнання та перетворення умов зовнішнього середовища), фіксації (наука, мистецтво, архітектура, реклама, писемність) та передання (мовлення, медіа, мистецтво, реклама, писемність) інформації.
Досліджено, що головними інформаційними носіями для людини сьогодні є цифрові пристрої, друковані книжки, офіційна документація, персональні листи, твори мистецтва. Зауважується, що основними типовими прикладами інформаційних війн можна вважати цифрові віртуальні конфлікти та реальні інформаційно-психологічні операції. Вони супроводжують військові конфлікти, політичні та економічні процеси.
Виробництво контенту стає чи не найголовнішою функцією суспільства, що забезпечує необхідними матеріалами економічні процеси, мистецтво, військову справу, державне управління, науку, релігію тощо. Створенням, накопиченням та поширенням інформації займаються практично всі, хто бере участь у соціальних процесах. Фабриками контенту стають наукові центри, військові структури, навчальні заклади, адміністративні структури, безпосередньо медіа.
Зауважується, що ключовим елементом у теоретичній моделі є поняття інформаційна онлайн мережева війна, що визначається, як комплекс інформаційних впливів між соціальними системами (групами), які орієнтовані на отримання певних переваг у економічних, військових, політичних, культурних та громадських протистояннях. У своїй основі інформаційна онлайн мережева війна має три ключові технологічні аспекти: хай-тек, хайх’юм та хай-сенсоро. Кожен з цих аспектів має власні технології, які формують профільні напрямки дослідження та практичної роботи.
Виокремлено, що інформаційно-психологічні операції нині є невід’ємною частиною систем управління військами, політичними та економічними процесами. У зв’язку з активною віртуалізацією людства, такі конфлікти переносяться у інтернет-простір і набувають формату мережевих он-лайн протистоянь.
Методологічною основою дослідження є історичний метод, з позицій якого розглядалися теоретико-методологічні підходи до аналізу інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій.
Peran Teknologi Informasi Dan Komunikasi Dalam Pengelolaan Pendidikan Menengah Pasca Pandemi Covid-19

Improving high-level thinking skills (high-order thinking) has become an essential requirement This article raises a study of the role of information and communication technology in the management of secondary education after the Covid-19 pandemic, bearing in mind that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the governance of education in general, including secondary education. On the other hand, the government implemented a distance learning policy (PJJ) and reduced face-to-face learning (PTM) at the start of the pandemic. In these conditions and situations, information and communication technology (ICT) is considered very important. Although in reality, there are many obstacles, such as low human resources, lack of infrastructure, and geographical conditions. From there, online and offline learning is often the best choice. This type of research is qualitative. The approach used is an educational management approach. Data is collected from library sources. The theory used to analyze the data is the blended learning theory. This study found three main aspects; first, the issue of using ICT is partial, where school institutions that are human, social, cultural, and infrastructure ready will benefit significantly from ICT. Vice versa. Second, the presence of the government's role in offering solutions to the problem of education management is also partial. ICT is not optimal because government support is not holistic, it is even dysfunctional when faced with old problems of educational institutions, such as lack of infrastructure and geographical problems. Third, the role of ICT in education management is ambiguous, between as a solution to a problem and as a compulsion amidst the limitations of the school institution itself. The findings of this study are helpful as an enrichment in the study of secondary education management disciplines, on the other hand as a form of criticism and input to managers of educational institutions.
Systemic View of Urban Public Space, Proposing a "Human-First" Model For Livable Interspaces/Interfaces.

Published: January 2023

Livability requires creating public spaces that can question the quality of cities and places, increase physical activity in urban life, and provide opportunities for social interaction in the built environment. In national and international meetings such as Habitat II, Habitat III, Vision 2023, and Arama Conference, it has been stated that what is expected from a city whose basic reality is "human priority" is public space/place with the phenomenon of publicity. With in the scope of the study of experts on the quality of urban space and the Jacops, Gehl, PPS, TOD models and approaches they have developed are explanied. Based on the inter-scale approach, systematic parts and urban networks from micro to macro scale are evaluated. İn this study the “neigbourhood” structure, which is the most basic unıt of the local scale, which reflects the social value of societies in addition to physcial characterics of the development of thecities was taken as a scale. Buıldıng-space, avenue-street, square etc. Openings are referred to as networks that make up the public system. İn this context, a model proposal with a participatory apporoach has been developed which leads to research on the qualities of livable search interspace/interface.

Social Identity and Conflict Dynamics in Indian History Textbooks
Authors: DeLury Melissa
Published: January 2023

History textbooks play a critical role in their connection to conflict. While they can play a role in dehumanizing the “other” by propagating the myths and narratives of dominant groups, they can also play a transformational role in challenging discourses and narratives at the root of conflict. This article explores the relationship between social identity and conflict dynamics in India by examining textbooks from three periods of Indian history (colonial, post-independence, and the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party from 1999 to 2004), in order to explore how religion became a salient marker of identity informing social boundary creations and conflict dynamics. This article concludes by suggesting opportunities for future research and possibilities for peace.

Published: January 2023

The article deals with the implementation in universities of conceptual changes in interpreter training in the context of modern simultaneous interpretation technologies. The idea of human-computer interaction as an alternativeless symbiosis for achieving qualitatively new levels of organisation, implementation and efficiency in the simultaneous interpreting process is substantiated. The implementation of the concept of information technology training of interpreters in the content aspect provides for the expansion of their knowledge and skills in the application of information and communication technologies in the preparation and processing of simultaneous interpretation. The practical implementation of the concept in the form of formation of information and technological competence of a simultaneous interpreter is proposed. The ways of forming this competence are defined.

The Power of Bellicose Rhetoric
Authors: Bezić Maja , Petrović Ivana
Published: January 2023

The use of metaphors often characterizes contemporary public discourses on various issues. By the same token, metaphors have been used extensively in the discourse on the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper examines the WAR metaphor as a framing and rhetorical device with distinct persuasive potency within the Croatian sociocultural context. The analysis shows that militaristic metaphors were omnipresent in the Croatian public discourse at the beginning of the pandemic. Their dual role, explanatory and persuasive, was instrumental in convincing the public to understand the pandemic and accept the restrictive mandates put in place.
