Religio Athletae: The Atheist Apologetics of Religion by the Restorer of the Ancient Olympic Games, Pierre de Coubertin’s (1863–1937)
Authors: Firek Wiesław
Published: February 2025

The main aim of the paper is to clarify the meaning of religio athletae on the basis of an analysis of Pierre de Coubertin’s philosophical views and his understanding of religion. The first part presents Olympism as a result of the organizational activity of the restorer of the Olympic Games, followed by a discussion of the nature of the era of late French positivism, in which he scientifically and philosophically grew up. Particular attention is paid to the attitude of the French intellectual elite towards religion and the Catholic Church, and the concept of secular religion is defined. Then, de Coubertin’s works and his socio-philosophical views on religion are analyzed. On this basis, he is assigned to the current atheistic apologetics of religion. The second part explains Coubertin’s understanding of the “athlete’s religion”, which was part of the global Olympic project intended to serve as a platform for international understanding, and a brief discussion is held with opponents of calling Olympism a religion.

Published: February 2025

The article concerns the first period of socio-political transformation in Poland, which significantly influenced the activities of the Lublin voivodes, who managed the structure of general administration in the area of the so-called small Lublin Voivodeship in 1989–1998. In particular, it analyzed the socio-political situation in the country and its impact on the functioning of the Voivodeship Office in Lublin in the periods of: Stanisław Sochaj – voivode of Lublin at the turn of the century (1988–1990); “Solidarity” voivodes – Dr. Jan Wojcieszczuk and Adam Cichocki (1990–1993); the first “post-communist” voivode Edward Hunk and the third “Solidarity” voivode Krzysztof Michalski (1993–1998).
Lublin Sports History Documentation Center, or a Way to Cultivate the History of Local Sports
Authors: Słapek Dariusz
Published: February 2025

The raising interest in local history and the almost universal belief that its important component is the history of sports, become a reason to reflect on the “infrastructure” of research conducted in this area. This issue includes, e.g., the creation of specialized archives and libraries. Models as to methods of reducing the discomfort of research can be provided, e.g., by the Museum of Sports and Tourism in Warsaw, a sort of central institution dealing with the history of sports. On a small scale and at no cost, while collecting its own experience, local sports are also being nurtured by the Lublin Sports History Documentation Center. This is a unique research project successfully conducted at the Institute of History of the Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (Lublin) since 2013. The Center is at once a publishing house, a virtual archive, a library and, finally, a substitute for a sports periodical. Thanks to its openness to the outside world, the Center unifies and integrates the circles of professional and non-professional researchers of the history of local sports.
Medieval Sources from the Lublin Province as Material for Regionalists – the Problem of Accessibility
Authors: Wróbel Dariusz
Published: February 2025

The article raises the issue of the small presence of archival medieval sources in the publications of Lublin regionalists. The author compares manuscript sources from the Middle Ages to the history of the Lublin region, taking into account where they were stored and how they were made shared. Further on, there is little use of medieval manuscripts in regional publications whose authors are not professional historians. The author gives the reasons for this state of affairs, and then presents the stages and methods of making sources available to the regionalists’ environment, formulating specific postulates about it for the future.
Metafiction in Anton Chekhov’s "A Story Without an End"
Authors: Sadecki Artur
Published: February 2025

The paper seeks to explore how the metafictional awareness within each character shapes the overall interpretation of “A Story Without an End” (1886) by Anton Chekhov. From this perspective, this short story can be seen as Chekhov’s commentary on his own writing, revealing the path of evolution he would take in the years that followed. The analysis leads to the conclusion that “A Story Without an End” should be regarded as one of the key texts in the author’s creative breakthrough period, since after 1886 Chekhov’s works evolve towards greater artistic challenges and a style that goes far beyond the norms of humorous writing.

A field study was conducted to identify a potential fertility indicator for the soils of the Thar Desert. The study area included eight districts, covering a total of 156,580 km². This region experiences a wide range of climatic conditions, with annual rainfall varying from 177 mm to 409 mm and temperatures fluctuating between 8°C and 46°C. Surface soil samples (0-10 cm depth) were collected from agricultural fields across the region, representing various soil properties and cropping patterns. The soil texture varied from sandy loam to loamy sand, and the wet colour ranged from dark reddish-brown to dark yellowish-brown. The physicochemical and biological properties of the soil samples from different areas of the Thar Desert were as follows: moisture content ranged from 2.19% to 8.73%, bulk density from 1.18 to 1.33 Mg/m³, particle density from 1.82 to 4.11 Mg/m³, pore space percentage from 26.74% to 68.53%, solid space percentage from 31.47% to 73.26%, pH values from 7.69 to 8.43, and electrical conductivity from 0.12 to 0.17 dS/m. Furthermore, the soil organic carbon content ranged from 0.82% to 1.21%, while organic matter content varied between 1.41% and 2.09%. The available nitrogen was found to be between 285.69 and 365.87 kg/ha, phosphorus ranged from 19.84 to 24.77 kg/ha, potassium levels ranged from 214.29 to 314.72 kg/ha, and sulfur levels varied between 16.08 and 23.62 ppm. Additionally, nitrogenase retention time was recorded at 1.391 to 1.547 minutes, phosphatase activity ranged from 269.44 to 343.15 µg p-nitrophenol g⁻¹ h⁻¹, and dehydrogenase enzyme activity ranged from 250.33 to 309.34 µg TPF/g/24 h. The results demonstrated that soil properties varied across the Thar Desert. This study provided valuable insights into the physicochemical and biological characteristics of the soil in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. Notably, a significant positive correlation (r² value of 0.95) was found between dehydrogenase enzyme activity and various soil fertility parameters, suggesting that dehydrogenase could serve as a potential biological indicator of soil fertility.

AN EVALUATION OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING STRATEGIES OF POLITICIANS ON SPECIAL DAYS
Authors: Aşan Hakan
Published: February 2025

Today, social media has become one of the most effective tools through which politicians can communicate directly with their constituents and quickly convey their messages to large masses. Politicians frequently prefer posts on special days to establish emotional ties with citizens and display a political stance. Careful planning of various elements is necessary for posts on special days to receive more interaction. This study aims to analyze the posts made by politicians on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on special days regarding form, timing, and content. In this context, the 27th Term (Member of Parliament) MPs posts on six important days between 2021 and 2022 were analyzed. The research observed that the highest number of posts was made on religious holidays, but the highest interaction was obtained on Mother's Day. Statistical analyses have shown that posts containing videos or images significantly differ from those without and that including a hashtag (#) created a significant difference in the number of likes but not in retweets. This study guides those who use social media for political communication, particularly on special days, indicating which days to focus on and what strategies to develop for effective sharing.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for immunocompromised populations, particularly hemodialysis patients, who are at an elevated risk for severe outcomes. Vaccination remains a critical strategy to mitigate these risks. This study evaluates the 1-year effectiveness and immunogenicity of the Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV) COVID-19 vaccine in hemodialysis patients compared to healthy individuals, exploring correlations between dialysis parameters and vaccine-induced immunity.

Methods: This study was conducted according to the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the Institutional Review Board of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Participants included 87 hemodialysis patients and 29 healthy controls who received two doses of the Sinopharm vaccine with a 28–30-day interval. Data were collected through in-person interviews and follow-up phone interviews at 2-, 6-, and 12-months post-vaccination. Blood samples were taken at specified intervals to measure humoral and cellular immune responses, including Anti Spike Antibody IgG, Anti receptor-binding domain(RBD) total, neutralizing antibodies, and COVID-19 interferon gamma release assay( IGRA).

Results: A total of 87 hemodialysis patients (68.97% male, mean age 53.32±15.54 years) and 29 healthy controls (27.59% male, mean age 35.72±6.19 years) were included. There was no significant difference in breakthrough infection and its severity among the groups. Breakthrough infections were observed in 5.75% of hemodialysis cases and 17.24% of healthy controls, with hemodialysis not significantly elevating the risk (P=0.08; HR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.1, 1.16). None of the markers of immune response was associated with breakthrough infection. There was a moderate correlation between Anti-Spike and IGRA level in patients receiving the third dose.

Conclusion: The Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine demonstrated effectiveness and induced significant immunogenicity in both hemodialysis patients and healthy individuals, with booster doses enhancing long-term immunity. This study underscores the importance of booster vaccinations in maintaining immunity, especially in immunocompromised populations.

Published: February 2025

Background: Gender disparities have previously been reported to influence outcomes of various illnesses, including viral illness such as respiratory syncytial virus and COVID-19 virus. Males have previously been found to be more susceptible to infection and complications of such diseases.

Objective: The idea that there are differential impacts by gender on morbidity and mortality of COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital as well as identifying any confounding factors that might contribute to such disparities were investigated.

Design: Retrospective study of patients 65 years and older admitted with COVID-19 infection between February 2020 and February 2022 were included.

Setting: Community teaching hospital in Michigan.

Participants: All consecutive patients , age 18 years and older, all gender and race with a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 were included in the study.

Measurements: Incidence of complications and mortality were measured in both males and females and differences calculated.

Results: The 963 patients were divided into two groups: males (n= 483), and females (n=480). The mortality rate for males (n=341, 70.6%), and females (n=345, 71.9%) were similar. However, there were more females with less than 4 associated comorbid conditions compared to males (80.8% vs 70.0%, p=0.0001) and the females had a higher mortality rate (71.9% vs. 70.6%, p=0.66). There were more males with 4 or more associated comorbid conditions and this was significantly higher than in the female group (30.0% vs 19.2%, p=0.0001).

Limitations: There was no data collected following discharge from the hospital in regard to late complications.

Conclusions: Kidney disease is a significant predictor of mortality of our COVID-19 patients admitted to our hospital, additionally COPD had a similar impact on mortality but only in the female patients.

Published: February 2025

Background: Two sub variants (BA.4 and BA.5) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variant are concerning as they are spreading rapidly worldwide; however, no published data concerning these variants are available in Cameroon. We report the early detection of these new sub variants that are associated with the onset of the fifth wave of coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in Cameroon.

Methods: Positive samples were selected for next-generation sequencing (NGS). BA.4 and BA.5 complete genome sequences underwent sequence data analysis, epidemiology analysis of COVID-19’s resurgence and wave, recombination and pairwise matrix analysis, and phylogenetic analysis. We selected the first nine SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 sub variants detected in Cameroon using local whole genome sequencing for the NGS analysis.

Results: During the fifth wave of resurgence of COVID-19 cases in Cameroon, it was found that the Northwest and Littoral regions were the most affected areas, while the Center and Littoral regions recorded the highest number of new deaths. The study identified evidence of recombination between the BA.2 sub variant and BA.4 and BA.5 Cameroonian strains. This result highlights the dynamic nature of SARS-CoV-2 evolution. The BA.5 strain (entitled hCoV-19/Cameroon/23850/2022) showed the highest sequence similarity to the first reported genome of the Omicron strain with 497 mutations. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that these nine Omicron sub variants were grouped into a distinct and highly distant cluster separate from the first Omicron variant detected in Botswana and were intermixed with sequences from other countries (the United States, Denmark, Scotland, and England), thus implying multiple introductions of the BA.4 and BA.5 sub variants in Cameroon.

Conclusions: Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 sub-lineages are associated with the onset of the fifth wave of COVID-19 in Cameroon. In addition to providing early warning of COVID-19 resurgence, continuous local genome sequencing of emerging variants is essential for detecting variants of concern, thereby guiding the country's response. This study emphasizes the value of real-time surveillance

Published: February 2025

This study aims to develop a training program based on the Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework and to examine its impact on improving emergency distance teaching practices among university faculty members. The study used the experimental approach through a quasi-experimental design with one-group pre- and post-tests. The study sample consisted of 30 faculty members from the Colleges of Education, Arts, and Community at King Faisal University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A test was conducted to assess the cognitive dimension of TPACK knowledge with a performance observation checklist to evaluate TPACK practices. The research group participated in the distance training program through Microsoft Teams over 12 sessions. Measurement tools were applied before and after the program to identify differences between the pre- and post-tests and to calculate the effect size of the program. The results of the t-test for differences between the means were statistically significant in favor of the post-test in both the cognitive knowledge test and the performance observation checklist for distance teaching practices in light of the TPACK framework across all subdomains and overall scores. This study confirms that the TPACK-based training program significantly enhanced the knowledge and practical teaching skills of faculty in an emergency.

Authors: Arif Muhamad
Published: February 2025

This article is intended to find solutions related to the lack of adequate history learning to strengthen ethnic identity and maintain social harmony in a multicultural society through the development of a local history learning model based on the value clarification technique (VCT). The learning model is achieved through research and development using the Plomp model. The learning model goes through an expert validation process, including experts in local history teaching materials, experts in value education, experts in ethnic identity and Saminism, and experts in developing learning models. Furthermore, the learning model was tested on 30 students as participants with a pre-experimental pre-and post-tests one group design. The data collection technique was carried out through the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis was performed using a  t-test. The results of the t-test showed a significant strengthening of ethnic identity after the trial. The local history learning model based on the value clarification technique (VCT) can strengthen ethnic identity and maintain social harmony. The development of this learning model is possible if history lecturers have experience related to relevant ethnic studies.

Published: February 2025

In the past two academic years, the Saudi Ministry of Education has implemented a three-semester system dividing the academic year into three 13-week terms instead of the traditional two-semester format. This study aims to explore the practical application of the three-semester system and its impact on primary grade children's motivation from their mothers' perspectives. This research involved 250 mothers of children in the first three grades of primary school in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. A quantitative descriptive approach was used to systematically collect and analyze data regarding the phenomenon. Data were gathered through two questionnaires: one assessing the implementation of the three-semester system in primary grades and another evaluating children's achievement motivation. Findings indicate that the increased school duties and assignments under the three-semester system have significantly burdened children compared to the two-semester system. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found in achievement motivation between boys and girls. Overall, most mothers expressed disagreement with the three-semester system reflected in an average rating of 0.24 and a standard deviation of 0.59. This study sheds light on the implications of the new system on children's motivation and highlights concerns raised by mothers.
Elective Oocyte Cryopreservation
Authors: Dashti Saeideh , Eftekhar Maryam
Published: February 2025

Introduction: In recent years, techniques for oocyte cryopreservation have aided in preserving women's fertility. Initially, oocyte cryopreservation was implemented for females with diminished ovarian reserves. This approach is appropriate for women who are at risk of diminished ovarian reserves, including those undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or other conditions impacting ovarian reserve. It provides them the opportunity to have biological children later on.  As more women choose to delay pregnancy and face declining ovarian reserves with age, oocyte cryopreservation has been made available to healthy women. Research did not demonstrate any difference in fertilization and pregnancy rates between fresh and frozen-thawed oocytes. Assessing ovarian reserve is essential prior to this procedure. Anti-Müllerian hormone levels and antral follicle counts are regarded as the most accurate indicators for forecasting ovarian response. Age is recognized as the key factor influencing oocyte quality and success rate. There is no agreement on the optimal age and quantity of oocytes for oocyte cryopreservation. Certain researchers have suggested an age limit of less than 35 years. Each additional frozen oocyte holds significance. Having 25 oocytes is linked to a 95% cumulative live birth rate in women under 35 years old.
Conclusion: Elective oocyte cryopreservation provides an opportunity for women to preserve their fertility in future. Cryopreserved oocyte can lead to decreased risk of oocyte donation in the future and allows women to have their own genetic child. It is important that providers ensure that these women are informed about efficacy, safety and help them to make the best decisions. Some researchers have recommended an age below 35 years.

Authors: Alima Ngayi
Published: February 2025

This paper aims to demonstrate how Language, Culture and Environment are linked.  It examines the relationship between the Environmental Ethics and the Sub-Saharan African Literature. That is, how do Myths and Legends inspire the respect of the Environmental Ethics in Sub-Saharan Cultures.
 The method consists of an Anthropological Analysis of some African Myths and Legends from Scholars and other Authors who wrote on African Literature to illustrate the fact that, they carry Rules that govern Environmental Ethics and values that deals with our relationship with the physical milieu around us and how Myths permit to avoid pollution and ensure the protection of the endangered species. A Comparative Study of some Myths, in cultural Contexts, different from the Sub-Saharan one, indicates how Anthropocentric and Ecocide, Myths are. The result is the reality that, most of environmental Problems faced by the Humanity nowadays, are Anthropogenic.  The Theoretical approach here is the Cultural Ecology to demonstrate how human adaptation to the natural Environment takes place by the Use of Cultural mechanisms.
As a Result, the Paper demonstrate how Sub-Saharan African Literature is Environmentalist for Myths and Legends, constitute Charter for societies concerning Nature. They are Cultural Adaptation to natural Environment. They are adaptive Strategies for people to survive in their natural Environment. They convey messages concerning Rules that govern peoples’ behaviour with social and natural environment. There is a harmony or an interdependence between People and their geographical Milieu. Through Myths and Legends, Sub-Saharan African Literature constitute a School of Ecology.  Because, the advocate for a Sustainable Management of Natural Resources, through their beliefs systems. Myths and Legends carry Environmental Ethics. They are cultural strategies for the respect of Environmental values; they communicate fundamental conceptions of nature and society and how people ought to relate and behave with natural environment. The paper demonstrates how the perturbation of Sub-Saharan African Language and Beliefs System by the western Imperialism, disturbed the relationships between people and their physical milieu and how the Environmental Ethics has been demoted, as the result of that fact.

Resultados: se observó una alta prevalencia de caries dental (89,9 %), aunque la mayoría de los casos presentaron un índice CPOD de riesgo muy bajo. Se halló una razón de prevalencia de 1,003 (0,967; 1,040) para la variable "me gusta mis dientes", 0,997 (0,976; 1,019) para "evito sonreír", 0,983 (0,939; 1,029) para "se burlan de mis dientes", 0,887 (0,757; 1,040) para "perdí clases/dolor dental", y 1,015 (0,947; 1,089) para "dificultad al masticar alimentos duros". La muestra presentó un perfil socioeconómico medio (39,8 %). Las prevalencias se asociaron con la prueba exacta de Fisher, encontrándose relaciones estadísticamente significativas para las ausencias escolares debido a dolor dental (p = 0,036) y dificultad para masticar alimentos duros (p = 0,012).
Conclusiones: en la población estudiada, se identificó una elevada prevalencia de caries dental entre los adolescentes de nivel socioeconómico tipo C de la Unidad Educativa FUSMAE. Los principales factores determinantes incluyeron el ausentismo escolar debido al dolor dental y la dificultad para masticar alimentos duros

O aumento do uso da inteligência artificial generativa tem atraído interesse para suas aplicações em saúde e nutrição. Este estudo analisou um cardápio de emagrecimento gerado pelo ChatGPT. Os resultados mostraram inadequações, como distribuição desequilibrada de macronutrientes e deficiências em micronutrientes como ferro, cálcio, folato e vitamina B12. Além disso, o plano alimentar negligenciou fatores individuais, subjetivos e culturais, como preferências alimentares e restrições dietéticas. Esses achados destacam riscos de utilizar IA sem acompanhamento de nutricionistas em cuidados nutricionais.

A proposta apresentada neste trabalho faz parte das atividades de ensino vinculadas ao PET CNM da UFTM, em parceria com a Escola do Avesso College a partir do tema: “Ser no mundo: comunicação não-violenta”. Foram atendidos cinquenta (50) estudantes do Ensino Fundamental II, dispostos em uma única turma, a partir de um cronograma composto por aulas quinzenais, às terças feiras, com duas horas de duração cada uma. O conteúdo temático partiu de uma pesquisa documental na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e se baseou nos estudos de Marshall B. Rosenberg e Paulo Freire. Para as aulas foram utilizadas práticas e metodologias ativas com a intenção de estimular a interação e facilitar uma aprendizagem significativa entre os participantes. O desenvolvimento do projeto oportunizou aos acadêmicos dos cursos de licenciatura oportunidades de vivenciarem a prática do trabalho interdisciplinar trabalhando situações que colaboraram para a formação de crianças e jovens mais motivados e sensibilizados, ao realizarem reflexões e compreenderem conceitos capazes de promover mudanças de atitudes, contribuindo para melhorias intrapessoais e interpessoais.

Este artigo investiga a aplicação do princípio nemo tenetur se detegere em decisões de Habeas Corpus no Tribunal de Justiça de Mato Grosso do Sul (TJMS), com foco nas confissões informais em casos de tráfico de drogas entre 2020 e 2024. Com base na seguinte pergunta de pesquisa “Como o Tribunal de Justiça de Mato Grosso do Sul fundamenta suas decisões nos julgamentos de Habeas Corpus que apontam como nulidade a confissão informal obtida por policiais durante a abordagem na apuração de crimes de tráfico de drogas, nos anos de 2020 a 2024?”. Por meio da análise documental de acórdãos e revisão bibliográfica, a pesquisa qualitativa identifica uma resistência significativa por parte dos magistrados em abordar adequadamente a confissão informal. Constatou-se que a maioria dos casos resultaram em ordens denegadas sem reconhecer a nulidade das confissões obtidas sem o aviso de direito ao silêncio. A pesquisa destaca, em conclusão, a discrepância entre os princípios internacionais de direitos humanos e a prática jurídica, evidenciando a necessidade de uma abordagem mais crítica e alinhada com os direitos fundamentais na jurisdição brasileira.
