The accumulation of calcium deposits in the tendons of the muscles of the rotator cuff is the cause of calcifying tendonitis of the shoulder. It is most common in people of working age between 30 and 50 years, expressed in pain in the affected shoulder, both at rest and when moving the arm. This condition makes it difficult to carry out daily activities and worsens the quality of life of patients. The purpose of this report is to present the improved functionality of the affected limb from our kinesitherapy program in combination with extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Material and methods: we examined 20 patients with calcifying shoulder tendinitis, which we divided into two groups - experimental and control, 10 for each. The study was conducted at the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University Hospital “St. Marina”, Varna. To illustrate the results, we used a visual analog scale (VAS), ROM ( range of motion) and manual muscle testing (MMT). Results: the kinesitherapy program applied by us in combination with extracorporeal shock wave therapy in the respondents from the experimental group showed better results compared to the control group.
PC DO B, CHINA E MAOÍSMO CONTINUIDADE E RUPTURA
Authors: Motta Luiz
Published: February 2023

The Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB), originating from the Communist Brazilian Communist Party (PCB) and allied with the USSR, was the first Brazilian organization to ally itself with China — after the Sino-Soviet rupture — and to have Mao Zedong's thought as one of its main political and theoretical references. However, this relationship was not always harmonious and coherent. With the changes made in China after the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the PCdoB began to take a turn in relation to China's positions from the publication in November 1977 in the Renmin Ribao newspaper of the three worlds theory. The effect of this was not only to move the PCdoB away from the positions adopted by the CCP, but also to break with Mao Zedong's thinking by holding him responsible for such a theory adopted by the CCP. However, with the crisis of the so-called “real socialism” in 1989/90, the PCdoB changed its position and resumed contact with the PCCh, and in addition to having China currently as its main external reference, Mao Zedong's work returned to be resumed and without the rejection that marked the 1980s.
A signal processing perspective of acoustically-excited jet shear layers
Authors: Nicholls Chris J
Published: February 2023

An alternative perspective of the behaviour of jet shear layers in response to acoustic excitation is developed using concepts in signal processing. A central idea is that the vortices that roll-up in the shear layer are similar to the discrete samples of a digital control system. This analogy has the interesting corollary that the Nyquist-Shannon sampling theorem should apply. It has also been understood since the 1990s that shear layers act as demodulators when subjected to amplitude-modulated perturbations – some distance downstream of the source of excitation, only perturbations at the modulating frequency persist (at baseband). It is possible to explain this behaviour through the lens of signal processing by describing the relationship between the shear layer vorticity signal and the excitation waveform as a rectifier, along with the sampling action already described. The rectifier + sampler model offers insights into shear layer behaviour that are not perceptible using the tools of fluid mechanics alone. The model is verified through a series of experiments on both free and attached jets. The implications of the analogy are explored, one of which is the advent of an excitation technique where the amplitude modulation signal driving the acoustic source is overmodulated. This overmodulation technique has application in flow control, and results in a doubling of the response frequency and hence the input bandwidth.

This talk is based on two recently published journal papers.

Tribalism and Compassion in the Age of a Pandemic
Authors: Clark Kevin M. , Bain-Selbo Eric
Published: February 2023

This essay draws on resources in philosophy, psychology, and related social sciences—specifically, works by Joshua Greene, Jonathan Haidt, George Lakoff, and Martha Nussbaum—to analyze the moral and political dimensions of the recent polarization in the United States related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Three questions are addressed: (a) What psychological factors may have contributed to this polarization? (b) Why have conservatives and liberals taken the positions they have on issues relating to the pandemic (e.g., masks, economic reopening, vaccines, science)? and (c) How can we reduce this polarization and work more effectively with others to face societal challenges, despite our differences?
Hacia un Estado verde mundial desde Papúa Occidental
Authors: Beneite-Martí Joshua
Published: February 2023

Papúa Occidental es un territorio anexionado de forma irregular a la República de Indonesia que sirve como despensa a esta y al capitalismo global. Durante las últimas décadas se han sucedido numerosos abusos en materia de derechos humanos y en el plano medioambiental dentro de su territorio, ya sea la represión violenta de las demandas de libertad de este pueblo o el expolio indiscriminado e irresponsable de sus recursos naturales. Como respuesta a esta situación, poderosamente alentada por la inacción de los organismos internacionales, el comité ejecutivo de la Unión de Movimientos por la Liberación de Papúa Occidental ha decidido declararse como el primer «Estado verde» de la historia de la humanidad. Una lucha en la que se entrecruzan las demandas locales y el proyecto de un mundo más sostenible y justo para todos y todas sus habitantes, ya sean humanos o no.
Pactos verdes en disputa: acúmulos feministas populares en la crítica al actual modelo energético extractivista y en la construcción de alternativas
Authors: Fernandes Marianna , Salvático Natalia
Published: February 2023

Este artículo explora las contradicciones de los pactos verdes a partir de dos ejes. Primero, de las vivencias de mujeres en territorios afectados por extracción de litio y transición energética en el norte de Argentina. Segundo, de acúmulos feministas en el debate y acción por la justicia energética y climática. A partir de estas experiencias, se argumenta que los pactos verdes actuales despliegan en los territorios dinámicas que atentan contra la reproducción de la vida al articular extractivismo y transición energética. Se contrastan con esto las propuestas feministas populares sobre la justicia climática y energética que reúnen, por un lado, las críticas feministas al orden económico y político y, por el otro, la problematización de la organización capitalista del metabolismo entre la naturaleza y el trabajo. Al hacerlo, aportan elementos teóricos y prácticos para pactos verdes efectivos basados en un sistema socioeconómico que sostenga la vida.
Investigation of Structural, Elastic, and Piezoelectric Properties of NbSbO4 Crystal
Authors: ERZEN Mehmet
Published: February 2023

The structural, elastic, and piezoelectric properties of the NbSbO4 crystal were calculated based on the density functional theory. These properties were calculated using the ABINIT package program under both the generalized gradient approximation and the local density approximation. The elastic stiffness tensor and the elastic compliance tensor for the NbSbO4 crystal were calculated in the ground state. Voigt Bulk Modulus, Reuss Bulk Modulus, Hill Bulk Modulus, Voigt Shear Modulus, Reuss Shear Modulus, Hill Shear Modulus, Young Modulus, Poisson Ratio, Flexibility Coefficient, Debye temperature, Longitudinal sound wave velocity for NbSbO4 crystal using elastic stiffness and elastic compliance tensor, Transverse sound wave velocity and Average speed of sound were calculated. Then, the ground state piezoelectric tensor of the NbSbO4 crystal was calculated. Accordingly, 2D longitudinal surfaces and 3D representation surfaces of the piezoelectric tensor were obtained using MTEX software. The properties obtained with both the generalized gradient approximation and the local density approximation are compared. As a result of the calculations, it was understood that the material was a flexible and formable material in both approximations.
Religiosidad y vida cotidiana en el siglo XIX. El caso de los inmigrantes confederados en Brasil
Authors: Pérez Gómez Ricardo
Published: February 2023

El estudio resume y analiza las descripciones y valoraciones de la vida cotidiana en la sociedad brasileña efectuadas por los inmigrantes confederados llegados a Brasil tras la derrota en la Guerra de Secesión a mediados del siglo XIX, a partir de sus argumentaciones dadas basadas en su fe religiosa. Para ello se acudió a la lectura de relatos escritos por los propios inmigrantes y sus descendientes, así como de contenidos recogidos en fuente secundarias sobre correspondencia y artículos enviados por los propios inmigrantes a familiares y periódicos de los EE.UU. narrando sus experiencias y opiniones. En un intento de enfoque semiótico de los relatos y para contextualizar la interpretación de éstos, se acudió también a relatos escritos por viajeros extranjeros que coincidieron con la inmigración confederada en Brasil así como a estudios historiográficos sobre el Brasil y el Old South de la época, con especial énfasis en estudios sobre la vida cotidiana y la identidad nacional. El trabajo de investigación concluye que la fe religiosa de los inmigrantes confederados fue un basamento importante a la hora de valorar los hábitos de la vida cotidiana de la sociedad brasileña, y que aún constituye un eje importante de la identidad cultural sureña.
Sistem Pendukung Keputusan Menerapkan Metode Profile Matching Sebagai Alternatif Penentuan Minyak Goreng Terbaik
Authors: Putri Andini Dwi , Dewi Arie Rafika
Published: February 2023

Cooking oil is one of the products of human needs. Along with the times, there have been many cooking oil management companies that issue various types of cooking oil with different brands. So far, most people only choose the best cooking oil products based on well-known company brands and also based on the price of the cooking oil product itself without looking at the composition of the cooking oil product. As a result, there is often an inappropriate selection of cooking oil because it only refers to price criteria and well-known products. The purpose of this study is to find out which cooking oil product is the best that can be consumed by consumers based on calculations using the profile matching method. The profile matching method was chosen in this study because it is able to select the best alternative from a number of predetermined alternatives. The results of this study using the profile matching method produce more accurate cooking oil data, so that consumers can choose which cooking oil product is the best.

Published: February 2023

Objective: We described the characteristics of children reported as having influenza across five consecutive influenza seasons and investigated the usefulness of setting influenza thresholds in two satellite cities of Tokyo, Japan. Methods: An annual survey was conducted among parents of children at preschools (kindergartens and nursery schools), elementary schools and junior high schools in Toda and Warabi cities, Saitama prefecture, at the end of the 2014–2018 influenza seasons. Using the World Health Organization method, we established seasonal, high and alert thresholds. Results: There were 64 586 children included in the analysis. Over the five seasons, between 19.1% and 22% of children annually were reported as having tested positive for influenza. Influenza type A was reported as the dominant type, although type B was also reported in more than 40% of cases in the 2015 and 2017 seasons. The median period of the seasonal peak was 3 weeks in mid-January, regardless of school level. Of the five surveyed seasons, the high threshold was reached in 2014 and 2018, with no season exceeding the alert threshold. Discussion: This study provides insights into the circulation of influenza in children in the study areas of Toda and Warabi, Japan, from 2014 to 2018. Although we were able to utilize these annual surveys to calculate influenza thresholds from five consecutive seasons, the prospective usefulness of these thresholds is limited as the survey is conducted at the end of the influenza season.

Objective: Monitoring the prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants is important due to concerns regarding infectivity, transmissibility, immune evasion and disease severity. We evaluated the temporal and regional replacement of previous SARS-CoV-2 variants by the emergent strains, Alpha and Delta. Methods: We obtained the results of polymerase chain reaction screening tests for variants conducted in multiple commercial laboratories. Assuming that all previous strains would be replaced by one variant, the new variant detection rate was estimated by fitting a logistic growth model. We estimated the transmission advantage of each new variant over the pre-existing virus strains. Results: The variant with the N501Y mutation was first identified in the Kinki region in early February 2021, and by early May, it had replaced more than 90% of the previous strains. The variant with the L452R mutation was first detected in the Kanto-Koshin region in mid-May, and by early August, it comprised more than 90% of the circulating strains. Compared with pre-existing strains, the variant with the N501Y mutation showed transmission advantages of 48.2% and 40.3% in the Kanto-Koshin and Kinki regions, respectively, while the variant with the L452R mutation showed transmission advantages of 60.1% and 71.9%, respectively. Discussion: In Japan, Alpha and Delta variants displayed regional differences in the replacement timing and their relative transmission advantages. Our method is efficient in monitoring and estimating changes in the proportion of variant strains in a timely manner in each region.

The establishment of enhanced surveillance systems for mass gatherings to detect infectious diseases that may be imported during an event is recommended. The World Health Organization Regional Office for the Western Pacific contributed to enhanced event-based surveillance for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (the Games) by using Epidemic Intelligence from Open Sources (EIOS) to detect potential imported diseases and report them to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID), Japan. Daily screening of media articles on global infectious diseases was conducted using EIOS, which were systematically assessed to determine the likelihood of disease importation, spread and significant impact to Japan during the Games. Over 81 days of surveillance, 103 830 articles were screened by EIOS, of which 5441 (5.2%) met the selection criteria for initial assessment, with 587 (0.6%) assessed as signals and reported to NIID. None of the signals were considered to pose a significant risk to the Games based on three risk assessment criteria. While EIOS successfully captured media articles on infectious diseases with a likelihood of importation to and spread in Japan, a significant manual effort was required to assess the articles for duplicates and against the risk assessment criteria. Continued improvement of artificial intelligence is recommended to reduce this effort.

Authors: Nomani Ibtesam
Published: February 2023

Background/Objective: Menstrual issues are the most prevalent gynecological issue, especially among high school girls. Menstruation significantly impacts students' academic performance and is one of the leading causes of their short-term absences from school. This project is intended to investigate the effect of menstruation on academic achievement among rural girls in a developing nation. Subjects and Methods: This study utilized a mixed methodology consisting of a descriptive cross-sectional study and a qualitative design. The study was done on 225 girls during their four menstrual cycles between February and April 2022. For data collection, a three-sectioned, pre-validated questionnaire was used, which was divided into three portions. Section A was an interview evaluation sheet used to collect socio-demographic information. Section B addressed the menstrual cycle and menstrual pain. Included questions on the impact of the menstrual period on academic performance and students' anxiety surrounding each menstrual period. This study revealed a significant association between dysmenorrhea and anxiety. Results: Seventy-five percent of girls in the rural community expressed concern about their menstrual cycles. Data were collected by diary records and focus group interviews. Dysmenorrhea severity was classified as mild, moderate, and severe.
Psychology and AI at a Crossroads: How Might Complex Systems Explain Themselves?
Authors: Hoffman Robert R. , Miller Timothy , Clancey William J.
Published: February 2023

A challenge in building useful artificial intelligence (AI) systems is that people need to understand how they work in order to achieve appropriate trust and reliance. This has become a topic of considerable interest, manifested as a surge of research on Explainable AI (XAI). Much of the research assumes a model in which the AI automatically generates an explanation and presents it to the user, whose understanding of the explanation leads to better performance. Psychological research on explanatory reasoning shows that this is a limited model. The design of XAI systems must be fully informed by a model of cognition and a model of pedagogy, based on empirical evidence of what happens when people try to explain complex systems to other people and what happens as people try to reason out how a complex system works. In this article we discuss how and why C. S. Peirce's notion of abduction is a best model for XAI. Peirce's notion of abduction as an exploratory activity can be regarded as supported by virtue of its concordance with models of expert reasoning that have been developed by modern applied cognitive psychologists.
Internal and External Causal Explanations of Happiness
Authors: Sotgiu Igor , Marengo Davide , Monaci Maria Grazia
Published: February 2023

The present study extends previous research on the folk concept of happiness by investigating people's causal attributions toward the things that make them happy. Six hundred ten Italian adults (18–55 years old) took part in a questionnaire study. Respondents were asked to report five happiness sources and to provide ratings for both the attainment of these sources and the internal and external factors potentially causing them (self, other people, luck, chance). We also measured the participants’ levels of psychological well-being. Results showed that the participants’ happiness conceptions incorporated 27 categories of happiness sources referring to four semantic domains: relational life, personal life, hedonic psychological sources, and eudaimonic psychological sources. Multilevel analyses showed that internal attributions exceeded external attributions across all these domains; moreover, internal attributions positively predicted happiness attainment, whereas the latter was negatively associated with attributions to other people. Findings were interpreted in the Italian cultural and linguistic context.
Tra verità e inganni. Polifonia apparente e aspetti picareschi nel viaggio dialogato del Lazarillo de Ciegos Caminantes
Authors: Arciello Daniele
Published: February 2023

Tra tutti gli scritti odeporici del XVIII secolo, spicca senza dubbio un’opera che ha generato numerosi dibattiti riguardanti la struttura, la narrazione e addirittura la questione della paternità: il Lazarillo de ciegos caminantes. In questo lavoro sarà messo in risalto uno degli aspetti più intriganti del testo, ossia la presunta polifonia letteraria che, in realtà, rivela una narrazione unilaterale dettata da una sola, autentica voce. A ciò si aggiungerebbe una possibile reminiscenza della picaresca tradizionale. L’analisi di questa commistione di elementi, tra la prospettiva rigido-monolitica e l’ipotetica influenza picaresca, sarà l’argomento centrale di questo studio.
La scrittura dopo la fine. Per un’antropologia del romanzo di formazione postapocalittico
Authors: Distefano Giovanni Vito
Published: February 2023

In La terra dei figli (2016) Gipi propone implicitamente, tra le righe di un racconto post-apocalittico, una riflessione critica sulla scrittura, sugli usi e sui rischi di questa risorsa comunicativa e sulla sua rilevanza quale architrave culturale fondamentale della nostra civiltà. Il contributo indaga questo tema attivando il potenziale ermeneutico di un classico come lo studio di Ernesto De Martino sulle apocalissi culturali e con l’accortezza metodologica di collocare l’opera di Gipi entro la vivace produzione attuale di narrazioni post-apocalittiche – e fra queste, in particolare, di quelle che hanno come protagonisti giovanissimi adulti o adolescenti. Di quest’ultime, complessivamente associate entro il genere ibrido del romanzo post-apocalittico di formazione, si propone un’interpretazione in termini di forma simbolica della post-modernità, secondo il modello teorico-metodologico di Franco Moretti. Emerge in conclusione un atteggiamento di rassicurante riproposizione dei valori culturali della civiltà contemporanea, pur nel contesto dell’immaginario apocalittico, ricco in potenza di valenze critiche e polemiche.
La voce di Ariel
Authors: Mossali Mattia
Published: February 2023

Questo articolo propone un approfondimento sull’ultima fase della poetica di Sylvia Plath. Attraverso la lettura e il commento di alcuni testi dalla raccolta Ariel, nell’edizione restaurata che corrisponde alla sequenza nient’affatto casuale concepita dalla poetessa, si tracceranno le coordinate di un progetto che richiama le antiche cosmologie, dal momento che Plath prova a dare vita a un mondo, nuovo e più intimo, finalmente libero da dolorose separazioni. Pare indubbio che i componimenti per Ariel siano pervasi da un senso di creazione; come ha sottolineato Nadia Fusini, ciò a cui il lettore assiste è un vero e proprio miracolo di transustanziazione, attraverso cui Plath trasforma la sua scrittura in organismo vivente. Nell’intento di chiarire questa affermazione, nell’articolo si sostiene che, in Ariel, Plath non si nasconde più dietro la tecnica acquisita; al contrario, creatore e creatura nei testi della maturità diventano la stessa cosa. È questo l’inizio di un percorso che la porterà non solo a diventare Poeta, ma a farsi poesia.

Authors: Osovsky Oleg , Kirzhaeva Vera , Dubrovskaya Svetlana , Chernetsova Ekaterina
Published: February 2023

The article presents the results of the XVII International Bakhtin Conference held in Saransk (Russia) on July 5-10, 2021. The forum brought together over 100 participants from 22 countries and was held online. The 18 plenary lectures and more than 100 panels and online-discussions focused on the most important questions of the reception of Bakhtin’s heritage, and the influence of the thinker’s ideas on contemporary humanities. Presentations included works in the following areas: biography of Bakhtin, determining the place of his ideas in modern philology, philosophy and other social sciences, the theory and practice of education, and interdisciplinary research. This article analyses and contextualises the work of the conference against the background of the Bakhtin Forums of the 1980s and 2010s, which became an important part of the global Bakhtin Studies, as well as of the recent development of Bakhtin’s heritage in Russia and worldwide. The authors highlight the most important results of the last conference as supplementing and reconstructing Bakhtin’s biography, clarifying the details of the process of dialogical interaction of Bakhtin’s work with his contemporary ideas and the preceding traditions, defining the boundaries of Bakhtin’s influence on the humanities and the natural science, as well as the possibilities of integration of these disciplines under the “sign of Bakhtin”.

Published: February 2023

Aim: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a cause of significant hemodynamic imbalance in newborn babies, can be treated using pharmacological or surgical methods. The purpose of this study was to compare intravenous (IV) paracetamol in newborns with hemodynamically significant PDA, with indomethacin and ibuprofen in terms of changes caused in blood parameters.Methods: Intravenous paracetamol was used for 3-6 days at 4x15 mg/kg/dose in cases diagnosed with PDA and admitted for follow-up between November 2014 and December 2015, and unable to receive oral medication or with contraindications for indomethacin-ibuprofen use. These cases were investigated retrospectively in terms of changes in pre and post-treatment AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase), urea, creatinine, platelet, and neutrophil values.Results: Intravenous paracetamol was administered to 10 cases of PDA, diagnosed between November 2014 and December 2015. Prior to paracetamol therapy, an increase in urea values was present in one case, increased AST in two, and decreased platelet values in two. Post-treatment values returned to normal ranges in all cases, and hemodynamic improvement was observed after the closure of the ductus arteriosus.Conclusion: Our analysis of its effect on PDA closure and its potential side-effect profile in patient blood parameters compared to other known therapeutic agents indicates that intravenous paracetamol, which is easily available and accessible in Turkey, may be an important option for the treatment of PDA.

Published: February 2023

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh adanya perspektif hukum keimigrasian dalam menindaklanjuti sebuah tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh orang asing yang dapat diimplementasikan melalui dua tindakan, yakni dikenakan Tindakan Administrasi Keimigrasian (TAK) atau proju/penyidikan. Dalam penegakan hukum Keimigrasian, dijelaskan pada pasal 116 dan pasal 117 dikategorikan sebagai tindak pidana keimigrasian yang termasuk kedalam jenis pelanggaran (bukan kejahatan) karena melalaikan kewajibannya, dan dalam proses penyidikan pada pasal 116 dan pasal 117 dilaksanakan acara pemeriksaan singkat. Merujuk hal tersebut, Pasal 124 huruf b UU No. 6 Tahun 2011 tentang Keimigrasian juga turut termasuk kedalam jenis pelanggaran pada tindak pidana keimigrasian yang sanksinya sama dengan Pasal 116 dan Pasal 117, tetapi Pasal 124 huruf b UU No. 6 Tahun 2011 tidak diterapkan acara pemeriksaan singkat. Maka penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji Pasal 124 UU No.6 Tahun 2011 untuk diterapkan acara pemeriksaan singkat melalui perbandingan hukum dan meninjau dari kriteria tindak pidana yang termasuk kedalam acara pemeriksaan singkat.  Penelitian ini menggunakan metode yuridis normatif untuk mengkaji melalui data kepustakaan berupa peraturan perundang-undangan, jurnal hukum, dan asas hukum acara pidana. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pengkajian terhadap pasal 124 huruf b memiliki karateristik ketentuan pidana yang sama dengan pasal 116 dan pasal 117 pada aspek ancaman pidana dan jenis tindak pidana.

Penelitian ini menguji model hubungan yang berpengaruh antara kepemimpinan yang melayani dan komitmen organisasi di seluruh struktur dan pemberdayaan psikologis, dengan fokus pada hubungan antara pemimpin dan pengikut yang saling bergantung dalam organisasi nirlaba. Kemudian model ini juga menguji dampak dari kepemimpinan yang melayani pada komitmen organisasi melalui keterlibatan karyawan/employee engagement. Data survei dikumpulkan dari 200 karyawan di sebuah organisasi nirlaba di sebuah kota di Barat Indonesia. Setelah mendefinisikan ulang model, model yang cocok muncul menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan struktural menengahi hubungan antara kepemimpinan yang melayani dan komitmen organisasi. Selanjutnya, model tersebut menunjukkan bahwa pengaruh pemberdayaan struktural pada keterlibatan organisasi bersifat langsung dan tidak langsung: yang terakhir terjadi melalui dimensi makna pemberdayaan psikologis. Studi ini memberikan dukungan awal untuk pemberdayaan struktural dengan menjadi mekanisme di mana kepemimpinan yang melayani mempengaruhi komitmen organisasi di organisasi nirlaba. Pada model selanjutnya kemimpinan yang melayani mempengaruhi komitmen organisasi melalui keterikatan karyawan/employee engagement dalam organisasi. Selain itu, kajian menyoroti peran pekerjaan yang bermakna sebagai pendahulu dari komitmen organisasi untuk pekerja nirlaba. Pemimpin yang melayani didorong untuk menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang akuntabel secara struktural yang mendukung keterikatan karyawan/employee engagement yang lebih besar dengan organisasi.
