A pályaelhagyás okai és indikátorai az alapfelkészítés intenzív szakaszában leszerelő rendőrhallgatók narratíváinak tükrében : Pályaválasztási motiváció és pályaorientáció
Authors: Hlavacska Gergely , Fekete Márta
Published: February 2025

A felsőfokú rendészeti képzés egyik legérzékenyebb időszaka az az első hat hét, amikor – a legtöbbször – a civil életből érkező hallgató először találkozik a rendőri pálya rigid kereteivel. Ez az időszak próbára teszi a jelentkezők elszántságát, és a korábbi pályaválasztási döntés megváltoztatása számos tényező függvénye, ám egészen biztosan sok múlik a kiérlelt pályaválasztási döntésen, a személyes kompetenciák és a rendőri pálya elvárásai közötti távolságon, a hivatás végzéséhez szükséges készségek időben történő azonosításán. Tanulmányunkban a 2023/2024-es tanévben a hivatásos pályára készülő, egyetemi tanulmányaikat megkezdő, ám az alapfelkészítés intenzív szakasza alatt a leszerelés mellett döntő hallgatók (N=9) narratívái alapján igyekezzük feltárni mindazokat a külső-belső okokat és indikátorokat, amelyek miatt a hallgatók a pályaelhagyás mellett döntöttek. A 9 félig strukturált interjú elemzésével feltárjuk, hogy a leszerelők milyen okok miatt távoznak, milyen pályaválasztási motivációval érkeztek, miként vélekednek az alapkiképzésről, annak szigora mennyiben befolyásolta őket döntésükben, illetve hogyan látták a rendőri pályát bevonulásuk előtt és látják azt leszerelésüket követően. Jelen tanulmányunkban bemutatott kutatásunkat a 2024/2025-ös tanév leszerelői között megismételjük, hogy az eredmények alapján tendenciaszerű következtetések levonására is lehetőségünk nyíljon.
A magyar kriminalisztika hajnala
Authors: Mátyás Szabolcs
Published: February 2025

A kriminalisztika magyarországi történetével kevés mű foglalkozik, holott rendkívül széles spektrumú a hazai kriminalisztika-történet. Számos olyan terület volt már a 19. század végén és a 20. század elején is, amelyről kijelenthetjük, hogy világszínvonalú volt. A megkésett társadalmi és természettudományos fejlődés ellenére is, a hazai kriminalisták és rendészeti szakemberek már bő száz évvel ezelőtt is a jelentős eredményeket értek el. Jelen tanulmány ezen eredményeket, illetve a korai magyar kriminalisztika-történet fontosabb mérföldköveit kívánja bemutatni.
Innovatív adatvizualizációs eszközök alkalmazása a modern felsőoktatásban
Authors: Rémai Dániel , Hegedűs Judit
Published: February 2025

A felsőoktatás átalakulása a rendészeti felsőoktatásra is hatást gyakorolt. Az Európai Felsőoktatási Térséghez való csatlakozás mellett a felsőoktatásba beérkező digitális bennszülöttek megjelenése, a technológiai fejlődés és a digitalizáció is szükségessé tette az oktatás-módszertani megújulást, melynek egyik legfőbb élharcosa a Nemzeti Közszolgálati Egyetemen a Biróczky-Szabó Andrea által vezetett Vám- és Pénzügyőri Tanszék volt. Tanulmányunkban a modern felsőoktatás jellemzőinek áttekintést követően az adatvizualizációval fogunk részletesebben foglalkozni. Az adatvizualizáció alkalmazása egyre fontosabbá válik a modern felsőoktatásban, különösen a digitális kompetenciák fejlesztésének és az adatalapú szemléletmód kialakításának területén. Az adatvizualizáció, mint a komplex adatok könnyebb érthetőségének és hatékonyabb kommunikációjának eszköze, jelentős szerepet játszik a hallgatók képességeinek fejlesztésében, és hozzájárul a tanulási folyamat hatékonyságának növeléséhez. A tanulmány bemutatja, hogyan lehet az adatvizualizációt sikeresen integrálni a felsőoktatási képzésekbe, különös tekintettel a pénzügyi rendészeti alapképzési szakra. Esettanulmányok keretében, a szak kompetenciáin keresztül vizsgáljuk, hogy az adatvizualizáció hogyan segítheti a hallgatók szakmai kompetenciáinak fejlődését.
A rendőrközegek tankönyve, 1906 : A könyv szerzője: a nagy rendőroktató Laky Imre
Authors: Sallai János
Published: February 2025

A magyar rendészet, rendőrség történetének kezdetén legnagyobb hiányosságként a szakirodalom, a képző szaktanfolyamokon a tankönyvek hiánya volt. Ezt kezdetben a megjelent rendészeti szakfolyóiratokban közölt rendészeti szakcikkek próbálták pótolni, illetve Zsoldos Ignác, Karvasy Ágoston után a 19. század végén folyamatosan adtak ki rendészet, rendőrség témájú könyveket. Ugyanebben az időben a külföldi rendőrségekről is napvilágot látott néhány cikk, majd Dorning Henrik által egy átfogó könyv. A 19. század utolsó évtizedében ismerte meg a rendőrség Laky Imre és Réde(i)y Miklós nevét, akik mind a rendészeti szakirodalomban, mind a szakoktatásban kiemelkedő teljesítményt nyújtottak. Ezek közül is az egyik meghatározó mű volt Laky Imre: A rendőrközegek tankönyve c. műve, amely a korszak teljes rendőri hivatáshoz kapcsolódó tudnivalókat, kérdés-felet formában, könyvben szerkesztve elkészítette és kiadta.
A mesterséges intelligencia alkalmazása a környezettudatos büntetés-végrehajtás kialakításában, különös tekintettel a fogvatartás biztonságára
Authors: Csókás Levente , Sztodola Tibor
Published: February 2025

A tanulmányban röviden bemutatjuk a magyar büntetés-végrehajtási intézetek biztonsági rendszerét, majd azt, hogyan lehet a mesterséges intelligenciát (a továbbiakban: MI) abba úgy integrálni, hogy az hatékonyabban és környezettudatosabban működjön. Az MI integrálása a büntetés-végrehajtási intézetek (a továbbiakban: bv. intézet) működésébe számos jelentős előnnyel jár. Az egyik legfontosabb előny a biztonsági intézkedések fokozása az MI által működtetett felügyeleti rendszerek révén, amelyek hatékonyan tudják nyomon követni és elemezni a fogvatartottak viselkedését, így javítva a fogvatartottak és a személyzet általános biztonságát. A bv. intézetek irányítási és felügyeleti rendszerei kulcsszerepet játszanak a biztonság megőrzésében. Az MI integrálása ezekbe a rendszerekbe jelentősen megnövelheti a bv. intézetek képességeit a különféle helyzetek megfigyelésére és reagálására. Az MI által működtetett megfigyelőrendszerek képesek elemezni az élő videófelvételeket, hogy észleljék az anomáliákat, például az illetéktelen mozgásokat vagy erőszakos viselkedést, és valós időben riasszák a megfelelő személyzetet. Ezenkívül az MI-algoritmusok felhasználhatók a fogvatartottak viselkedésének mintáinak felismerésére, lehetővé téve a potenciális biztonsági fenyegetések korai azonosítását. Ezek a fejlesztések hozzájárulnak a biztonsági intézkedések általános javításához és a bv. intézetek proaktív kezeléséhez.
A Tikhonov Regularisation Approach to the Numerical Solution of Pipe Flows
Authors: Egidi Nadaniela , Giacomini Josephin , Maponi Pierluigi
Published: February 2025

Pipe flow problems deal with flows within tubes and are studied through Fluid Dynamics models. When considering pipe flow problems, turbulence often needs to be taken into account. Unfortunately, turbulence gives rise to difficulties in the computation of the approximated solution to such pipe flow problems, due to ill-conditioning. We propose an original stabilisation strategy based on Tikhonov regularisation for ill-posed problems. Some analytical insights on the applicability of this strategy are given, and its effectiveness is shown by a numerical experiment where the results of the proposed method are compared with the ones of a well-known solving strategy and an empirical solution for the axial velocity.

Authors: Jaerger Silvia , Appelt Patricia , da Cunha Mario Antônio Alves , Ayma Fabián Ccahuana , Schneider Ricardo , Bittencourt Carla , Anaissi Fauze Jacó
Published: February 2025

Bentonite clay sourced from the Guarapuava region, Brazil, was modified with niobium oxide (BEOx) and niobium phosphate (BEPh) to act as an adsorbent and photocatalyst in the remediation of wastewater containing methylene blue (MB) dye. Additionally, colored materials were evaluated for their potential as antibacterial hybrid pigments. The bentonite clay modified with niobium was prepared by a solution containing swelling clay mixed with niobium oxide (NbOx) and niobium phosphate (NbPh) in a water solution; after that, the suspension was calcinated. X-ray diffractometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy assessed the modifications induced by the incorporation of niobium compounds into the clay, confirming the presence of niobium in the bentonite clay. Following characterization, the BEOx and BEPh samples were used as adsorbents or photocatalysts for treating solutions containing the MB dye (400 mg·L−1) at 25 °C. The results showed adsorption and photocatalysis efficiency above 94% for both samples. The blue-colored BEOx and BEPh samples were then applied as a hybrid pigment. The power pigment and its dispersion in colorless paint were evaluated by the CIEL*a*b* color space, and the ΔE parameters show values above 12, indicating a very strong color parameter difference. Subsequently, the efficacy of BEOx and BEPh as a hybrid pigment was assessed using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay against two bacteria strains: Bacillus cereus (ATCC 10876) and Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 35649). The analysis revealed remarkable antibacterial activity against Proteus mirabilis, suggesting a preferential selectivity for Gram-negative bacteria.

Design and Implementation of a Climbing Robot Limb for Clinging to Rough Walls
Authors: K. Jodah Mohammed , Turky Rashid Mofeed , S. Batbooti Raed
Published: February 2025

In recent years, the urgent need for robotics applications in various sensitive work areas and high buildings has led to a significant development in the design of robots intended for climbing rough surfaces. Where, attention became focused on the ideal clinging mechanism. In this paper, a gripper of the climbing robot has been designed to achieve clinging on rough walls. The objective of this design is to be lightweight with high performance of clinging, therefore, a robot gripper has been designed based on a model of a limb inspired by the hand and claws of a cat, in which the robot claws were implemented by fishing hooks. These hooks are arranged in an arc so that each hook can move independently on the wall's surface to increase the force of clinging to the rough wall. SolidWorks platform has been used to design the clinging limb and implemented using a 3D printer. In addition, the proposed design has been validated by performing several simulations using the SolidWorks platform. Experimental work has conducted to test the proposed design, and the results proved the success of the design.

This research examines the causes of damage to the thermal expansion valve, the emergence of frost on the evaporator pipe and reduced lubricating oil in the compressor cooling machine accommodation space. The research objective of this research is to determine the cause of damage to the thermal expansion valve, the emergence of frost on the evaporator pipe and reduced lubricating oil in the compressor. This type of research is qualitative. From the results of the study it was concluded that the cause of damage to the thermal expansion valve was the blockage of the orifice by dirt and the spring not working on the thermal expansion valve.
Causes of The Failure of The Reciprocating Bilge Pump in Supporting The Bilge Transfer Process on Mv. Amanah Halmahera Amc
Authors: Yunez Husen Akbar , Zakiah Diah , Nurdin M. , Sibarani Maurirz
Published: February 2025

The reciprocating bilge pump is an important auxiliary device in the bilge system in the engine room which functions to pump bilge from the bilge tank or engine room gutter to the OWS (Oily Water Seperator) and forward it to the ship's overboard. Reciprocating bilge pump is a type of reciprocating pump (piston pump) which is widely used for pumping viscous liquids or water mixed with oil. This pump generally consists of a pump housing or pump cylinder in which there is a plunger or piston which works by moving from TMB (Bottom Dead Point) to TMA (Top Dead Point) to suck liquid into and push it back out of the cylinder. This study aims to find out the causes of the problems and the efforts that can be made on the reciprocating bilge pump so that it can restore the performance of the reciprocating bilge pump. The research method that the authors used in compiling this research is a qualitative descriptive research. While data analysis is to identify the data set that has been obtained, so that the data can be analyzed and the purpose is analyzed in order to get a clearer picture in the preparation of this research both from the problems and the final results. It is hoped that this research research can produce ideas, solutions and appropriate problem solving, both in observing and handling the problems raised in this research. Based on research on the reciprocating bilge pump at MV. Amanah Halmahera AMC this pump is not working. This is caused by the release of the piston head from the piston rod so that there is no pressure on the pump and the check valve does not work properly so that it is difficult for the fluid to be sucked into the pump chamber. To prevent this problem, it can be done by reinstalling the check valve and cleaning the check valve.
Análises situacionais e retrospectivas : justiça, direitos humanos, diversidade e cidadania – pessoa com deficiência
Authors:   Brasil. Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (Ipea)
Published: February 2025

O estudo analisa a situação das pessoas com deficiência no Brasil, com base em dados recentes da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) Contínua 2022 (IBGE, 2023) e do Atlas da Violência 2023 (Cerqueira e Bueno, 2023), destacando disparidades em educação, mercado de trabalho e exposição à violência. Aproximadamente 18,6 milhões de brasileiros (8,9% da população) possuem algum tipo de deficiência, sendo que a maioria é composta por mulheres (10,7 milhões). As desigualdades são acentuadas por fatores como gênero, raça, idade e tipo de deficiência, impactando o acesso a direitos e políticas públicas. A pesquisa evidencia desafios persistentes na inclusão social, apesar de avanços legislativos como a Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (LBI). As políticas públicas ainda apresentam fragmentação e falta de coordenação, limitando a eficácia das ações de inclusão. O Novo Viver sem Limite (NVSL), lançado em 2023 (Brasil, 2023), busca uma abordagem integrada, mas enfrenta desafios para sua implementação. O Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC) é destacado como uma política protetiva essencial, mas que demanda aprimoramentos no monitoramento e avaliação. O estudo sugere que é necessário superar a visão binária nas políticas para pessoas com deficiência, adotando uma abordagem que considere o grau de gravidade das deficiências, visando maior equidade. Para avanços significativos, recomenda-se a utilização de dados e evidências para o desenho das políticas, além de uma maior articulação intersetorial e federativa.

We present an analysis of adaptive optics images from the Keck I telescope of the microlensing event MOA-2011-BLG-262. The original discovery paper by Bennett et al. reports two possibilities for the lens system: a nearby gas giant lens with an exomoon companion or a very low-mass star with a planetary companion in the Galactic bulge. The ∼10 yr baseline between the microlensing event and the Keck follow-up observations allows us to detect the faint candidate lens host (star) at K = 22.3 mag and confirm the distant lens system interpretation. The combination of the host star brightness and light curve parameters yields host star and planet masses of M
host = 0.19 ± 0.03 M
⊙ and m
p = 28.92 ± 4.75 M
⊕ at a distance of D
L = 7.49 ± 0.91 kpc. We perform a multiepoch cross reference to Gaia Data Release 3 and measure a transverse velocity for the candidate lens system of v
L = 541.31 ± 65.75 km s−1. We conclude this event consists of the highest-velocity exoplanet system detected to date, and also the lowest-mass microlensing host star with a confirmed mass measurement. The high-velocity nature of the lens system can be definitively confirmed with an additional epoch of high-resolution imaging at any time now. The methods outlined in this work demonstrate that the Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey will be able to securely measure low-mass host stars in the bulge.
Resolving issues in the genus Dioxys (Hymenoptera, Megachilidae, Dioxyini) in the West Palaearctic with a new identification key
Authors: Wood T. J.
Published: February 2025

The bee genus Dioxys is widely distributed across the Holarctic from the Mediterranean basin to western North America but is species-poor, and individual species can prove challenging to identify. Consequently, there has been a lack of consensus as to how many species actually exist. In the West Palaearctic, the number of species has varied from six to ten, depending on the worker. Due to a previously incorrect assessment of publication dates, Dioxys rotundatus Pérez, 1884, sp. resurr. is restored as the senior synonym of Dioxys moestus Costa, 1884, syn. nov. The relationship between this species and Dioxys atlanticus Saunders, 1904 is clarified, with the latter restricted to the islands of Gran Canaria and Tenerife (Spain). Dioxys rufipes Morawitz, 1875 is considered part of the West Palaearctic fauna, replacing “D. moestus” sensu Warncke (1977) in the eastern Mediterranean. Dioxys montanus Heinrich, 1977, sp. resurr. is revalidated from synonymy with Dioxys cinctus (Jurine, 1807). Dioxys pumilus Gerstäcker, 1869 is found to consist of four species, D. pumilus (eastern Mediterranean), Dioxys varipes De Stefani, 1887, sp. resurr. (western Mediterranean), Dioxys cypriacus Popov, 1944, sp. resurr. (Cyprus), and Dioxys hermonensissp. nov. (Israel: Mount Hermon). A neotype is designated for D. varipes, and Dioxys falsificus Engel, 2023, syn. nov. is synonymised with it. This contribution produces a total of 13 species for the West Palaearctic region, and illustrates the degree to which persistent taxonomic problems exist even within small bee genera.
Colorectal Cancer after Colonoscopy: Causes and Prevention Strategies
Authors: Choi Seongwoo , Jung Yunho
Published: February 2025

Colorectal cancer ranks second in incidence and third in cancer-related mortality in Korea, and screening colonoscopies are being used more frequently to facilitate early detection and treatment. Some cancers are diagnosed after colonoscopy but before the recommended surveillance interval: this is referred to as post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC). A recent meta-analysis revealed that interval cancers occur in 8.2% of cases, with proximal PCCRC accounting for 9.7% and distal PCCRC for 5.4%. The primary causes of PCCRC include inadequate bowel preparation, missed lesions, incomplete resection, and development of new lesions. Ensuring high-quality endoscopic procedures and achieving complete resection will be critical to addressing these causes and preventing PCCRC.

Published: February 2025

Secondary dyslipidemia, characterized by elevated blood cholesterol and triglycerides, arises from various underlying conditions. The identification and appropriate handling of these causes is crucial for effective treatment. Major contributors include unhealthy diets, diseases impacting lipid metabolism, and medication side effects. Prioritizing the correction of secondary causes before initiating conventional lipid-lowering therapies is essential. Subsequent lipid profiles guide the selection of appropriate guideline-based lipid-lowering interventions.

Innovating Nursing Education Through Partnership With Individuals With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Authors: Fisher Mark J. , Graff J. Carolyn , Hill Cindy , LaMothe Julie , Nelson Serge' R. , Kent Kathleen A. , Betz Cecily L.
Published: February 2025

Background

Health disparities of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have been a longstanding public health concern. Unlike the engagement of service sectors and governmental entities in advocating for human rights and health equity, the nursing profession remains absent from these discussions. Transformational changes are needed to promote systemic changes that will improve health outcomes of individuals with IDD.

Method

Strategic planning is needed to effect transformational changes in nursing education. Innovation in nursing education involves an informed understanding of health care barriers that individuals with IDD experience and the necessary processes to effectively engage in partnerships with this population.

Results

An approach for change in nursing education is proposed based on IDD concepts in federal legislation and initiatives, social policies, and the self-advocacy movement, and its application in nursing education is described.

Conclusion

Integrating IDD concepts into nursing curricula can improve health care equity and health outcomes of individuals with IDD.

Reproductive Health in Congenital Heart Disease
Authors: Bright Carley , Saraf Anita
Published: February 2025

As more children with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive to adulthood, reproductive health care in this demographic is becoming increasingly important. While all women with CHD can have an increased risk of morbidity associated with contraception and pregnancy, these risks can range from those that are medically manageable to catastrophic sequalae that can affect quality of life. Clinicians should discuss reproductive health before puberty and should counsel for pregnancy, family planning, and contraception. Comprehensive counseling during adulthood should include risks during the peripartum period, fetal risk, and long-term cardiovascular sequalae, and should be done with a cardiologist experienced in CHD.

How to resist fear. ETA terrorism and Basque Socialism, 1995-2011
Authors: Hidalgo García de Orellán Sara
Published: February 2025

The aim of this paper is to show the emotional impact of ETA terrorism on the PSE-EE militancy during the years of the socialisation of suffering, 1995-2011. To do so, we will use the theoretical-methodological tools provided by the history of emotions. It will be seen how emotional suffering greatly shaped the socialist experience in this period, whose experience has been codified with elements such as pressure and social isolation, threats and aggressions, or the lack of freedom of movement (due to the obligation to carry an escort). This emotional suffering was a constitutive part of the culture of resistance that Basque socialism redefined at this time -and linked to the resistance carried out by the socialists in the years of the Franco dictatorship-. In this redefinition, the strategies to overcome fear were the political commitment, anger, and courage, a feeling of pride for fighting against ETA, and strong group solidarity. These elements partly explain why the PSE-EE could survive and why its members continued to carry out their political work.
Une industrie discrète cachée dans un paysage banal ? Réflexion à partir de la périphérie d’une petite ville lorraine, Pont-à-Mousson
Authors: Calenge Pierric
Published: February 2025

Dans le cadre d’un paysage périphérique d’une petite ville, l’industrie peut par sa discrétion être ignorée. En effet, les espaces industriels discrets situés en périphérie des villes petites et moyennes passent facilement inaperçus : ne relevant pas toujours d’une spécialisation locale forte ou de chaînes de productions mondialisées stratégiques, ces espaces industriels se confondent par leur aspect avec les activités logistiques, artisanales et commerciales dans un paysage banal de hangars fonctionnalistes. En périphérie de l’agglomération de Pont-à-Mousson (Meurthe-et-Moselle), une zone d’activité sera l’objet d’une analyse paysagère portant sur le niveau d’insertion spatiale de l’industrie.
L’industrie dans le paysage des villes et des territoires. Illustrations en Lorraine
Authors: Simon Jean-Marie
Published: February 2025

En France, au début du XXème siècle, le dynamisme industriel bouleverse des territoires organisés autour de l’agriculture et de la ville classique. Les besoins de foncier, pour les établissements industriels, les infrastructures d’accompagnement et les logements d’une main-d’œuvre nombreuse et à faible revenu, nécessitent l’appropriation de terrains le plus souvent agricoles. L’action des industriels à travers le “Musée social” débouche sur la première loi d’urbanisme française votée en 1919 : la loi Cornudet. La loi montre sa pertinence pendant la Reconstruction qui suit la Première Guerre Mondiale, mais elle est modifiée dès 1925 et son efficacité est fortement réduite. Les communes doivent désormais financer les opérations en moins de quinze ans : tout projet ambitieux ou de réserves foncières est alors pratiquement exclu. Cette “victoire” des propriétaires fonciers handicape l’action des collectivités qui doivent acquérir des terrains aux prix du marché et non plus du terrain agricole, aussi elles interviennent au coup par coup, au gré des demandes ou des opportunités. Les premiers paysages marqués par le développement industriel sont apparus au début du XXème siècle et ils illustrent la ville espérée par les industriels et pour laquelle ils s’impliquent. Les seconds sont nés de projets locaux élaborés dans l’urgence pour résoudre une crise de l’emploi ; enfin les troisièmes apparaissent dans les tentatives actuelles de réindustrialisation. Ces paysages, cadre de vie quotidien d’habitants de travailleurs et de consommateurs évoluent et la connaissance de leur origine et de l’échelle des collectivités maitres d’ouvrage (communes-métropoles-régions-Europe) devrait accompagner les actions de programmation et d’aménagement.
Paysages industriels, patrimonialisation et nouveaux usages à Tourcoing
Authors: Laloyaux Sonia
Published: February 2025

Le patrimoine fait lien avec l’histoire collective, celle des populations qui font le territoire. Il peut collaborer à la mise en valeur de villes qui ont connu les difficultés de la désindustrialisation, comme c’est le cas à Tourcoing, marquée par un patrimoine industriel riche et encore bien visible dans le paysage. Dans cette ancienne cité textile, la patrimonialisation accompagne donc une grande partie des démarches de reconversion.

Street art, cinéma, expositions, conférences, fêtes… participent aujourd’hui au changement d’image de Tourcoing, à modifier les représentations et perceptions de cette ville.
L’espace muséal du sculpteur cubain José Villa Soberón
Authors: Lucien Renée Clémentine
Published: February 2025

This article focus on the collective dynamic created by the sculpture of the Cuban José Villa Soberón to show differently his work, in the course of the interactions operated with its environment. It examines how, from the interior space of the Havana Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, the artistic and rhizomic trajectory traced outside the walls is built by the sculptures as an aesthetic and poetical extension of the museum. Then, it examines how the work of this sculptor is a part of a process of patrimonialization and consolidation of the historical, artistic and intellectual capitality of the town. Thus, it examines which place is granted to the spectator confronted with a space of the museum inside and outside the walls and with a narrative created for him.
Néoplatonisme et Éducation relative à l’Environnement : une alliance pour le Bien commun
Authors: Taleb Mohammed
Published: February 2025

L’Éducation relative à l’Environnement (ErE), dans certaines de ses approches, peut entrer en résonance avec la philosophie néoplatonicienne en mettant l’accent sur l’interconnexion du vivant et sur une vision organiquement unifiée du monde, en nourrissant notamment une sensibilité particulière à l’unus mundus (le monde dans son unité), cette idée d’un monde profondément relié, qui trouve un écho dans la notion d’Anima Mundi, l’Âme du monde, au cœur du néoplatonisme. L’ancestrale doctrine des quatre éléments - terre, eau, air, feu – permet également de penser ces interconnexions sous une forme symbolique et sensible. Cet article explore les points d’articulations entre ces deux espaces de pensée, en mettant en lumière des héritages tels que l’humanisme cosmique de la Renaissance, le romantisme, la psychologie des profondeurs et l’anthropologie de l’imaginaire. Il s’agit ainsi de voir comment certaines formes d’ErE peuvent s’inspirer d’une sagesse ancienne pour proposer un rapport au monde vivant plus poétique, sensible et porteur de sens.

Authors: Nadugala Senari Hewa , Weerasekera Sandun
Published: February 2025

The fast-moving trend of globalization directs the course for studying relationships among various constructs. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the impact of Consumer Ethnocentrism on Global Brand Attitude with reference to FMCG products offered by Multinational Enterprises in Sri Lanka. The conceptual framework was constructed using social identity theory, and two hypotheses were derived based on it. A sample of 200 FMCG consumers in Sri Lanka was incorporated via a self-administered online questionnaire. AMOS software was employed to analyze the collected quantitative data and draw outcomes. The findings suggest that there is no significant effect of consumer ethnocentrism on global brand attitude, while global consumption orientation has a positive moderating influence on the relationship. However, these Sri Lankan context-specific outcomes pave the way for future research avenues.
Case Study on Consumer Behavior and Marketing Mix of Newly Launched Probiotic Butter and Probiotic Chocolates in India
Authors: Chaudhari Poonam , Qureshi Athar
Published: February 2025

Consumer behavior and consumption patterns are influenced by various factors. One important factor is health, the desire for a healthy life has been driving the demand for consumption of nutritious and functional food products. In order to lead a healthy life style consumer’s often shift to food products that offer a balance of ‘taste and health’. One such healthy range of products especially in the dairy products is the probiotic range. Since the early 1900’s the use of probiotics in various products has been a topic of discussion and has led to various innovations. Probiotics, popularly understood and defined as the good bacteria have now been known to have many non-pharmacological therapeutic effects. These products help a great deal in diseases related to the human intestinal tract. These products have also been found to be beneficial in the control of cholesterol and thus serving as a crucial element to avoid heart ailments. The use of probiotics was limited to milk and milk products in the past. It is established that milk is a good delivery channel for the probiotic to reach the human gut. Recent studies have shown that chocolate has similar properties and can help the probiotic to reach the gut without getting harmed in the digestive tract. The introduction of probiotic butter and probiotic chocolate in the Indian market is a revolutionary step. The Nutralite Doodh Shakti Probiotic Butter is promoted as ‘tasty way to support your immunity’. The PROCOA Probiotic Chocolates are promoted as ‘healthy and guilt-free experience’ & ‘guilt- free, pure indulgence’. Both butter and chocolate are considered rich and indulging. Both the products are targeted towards the consumers who need probiotics to stay healthy or as a therapeutic food. At the same time the consumer also needs to experience the taste as ‘usual’. This study is an attempt to understand the consumer behavior around probiotics and the rationale behind introducing probiotics in butter and chocolate. It also explores the marketing mix (4 Ps) of these new products.

Impact of Brand Trust, Identification, and Quality of Service on Brand Evangelism with the Moderation of Brand Love: Special Reference to Sri Lanka's Real Estate Sector
Authors: Kumarasinghe K. H. A. N. , Hendeniya H. M. U. S.
Published: February 2025

In terms of marketing, brands play an important role in consumers’ lives because today’s consumers always want to buy a brand if it is still in their hearts, brand evangelism for a brand is based on their emotions they are attached to it. This is known as evangelistic marketing, and it can be very valuable. The real estate sector now occupies a special place. As the real estate industry grows rapidly, brokers need to develop strong brand relationships to retain loyal customers and avoid them shifting to other properties on the market. Thus, this study focused on the effects of brand trust, brand identity and service quality on brand advocacy: with moderating effects of brand love and context-specific real estate industry a in the western region of Sri Lanka.Key findings indicate that all the hypotheses were supported, and the study proposed a positive and significant effect of brand trust, brand identity and service quality on brand evangelism: with brand love having an effect it goes downhill. However, it shows that the respondents have a strong brand evangelism towards their real estate company. Asset marketers should therefore focus on providing additional functionality of brands to consumers to enhance and sustain brand positivity. Real estate markets therefore seek to maximize the brand evangelism of the buyer to gain customer base and gain a competitive advantage over rival brands.
LA VICENDA DEI QUARTIERI NUOVI DI MILANO
Authors: Bellini Amedeo
Published: February 2025

At the beginning of 1880s an important building speculation is attempted in Milan on the areas behind the Castello Sforzesco: a large district intended to be united to the centre by a straight avenue joining the Arco della Pace to the Duomo thus partially demolishing the Castello. The project is much supported as well as hard-fought above all because it hinders an organic future development of the city without a regular town-planning scheme.
NOTIZIE SULL’AMERICA NELLA MILANO DEL TRECENTO: LA “NUOVA GEOGRAFIA” DEI VIAGGIATORI
Authors: Chiesa Paolo
Published: February 2025

The Cronica universalis, written in Milan by the Dominican friar Galvano Fiamma and currently been studied in the University of Milan (Dipartimento di Studi Letterari, Filologici e Linguistici), has recently granted a remarkable discovery: the first mention of the American continent in Southern Europe, a century and a half before Columbus' voyage. This discovery leads to a re-evaluation of a Milanese writer who has not enjoyed a good reputation, either as a historical source or for his literary quality, and provides an new piece for the reconstruction of the network of geographical knowledge of scholars in the late Middle Ages.
Bridging the Gap: Leveraging Point-Of-Care Data to Improve Mental Health Services for Undergraduate Performing Arts Students
Authors: Schneider Kyle , Tomchuk David
Published: February 2025

The performing arts industry places unique pressures on individuals, often leading to higher rates of mental health issues. Minimal information exists about how to create on-site intervention strategies for undergraduate performing art students. Athletic trainers at a dedicated university performing arts campus searched their electronic medical record (EMR) for reports of mental health-related issues in the dance, musical theater, and theater undergraduate students. The data analysis revealed anxiety and overstress conditions were primarily reported among dance and musical theater students. After communicating with stakeholders, the athletic trainers implemented a multi-faceted mental health intervention strategy for academic majors across the performing arts campus. The athletic trainers worked with the stakeholders and university counseling offices to destigmatize mental health conditions, reduce barriers, and implement mental health referrals and counseling across the campus. Reviewing internal data and listening to patient concerns enhanced mental health services in this undergraduate performing arts student population.

Published: February 2025

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic strained diagnostic testing capacities globally, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard for COVID-19 detection, but limited testing resources caused bottlenecks in Nigeria’s response during the pandemic. Sample pooling offers a cost-effective strategy to enhance testing capacity during future outbreaks.Objective: This study determined the maximum number of COVID-19 samples that can be pooled for RT-PCR testing in Nigeria without compromising the detection sensitivity of a single positive sample.Methods: A total of 1222 nasopharyngeal samples from symptomatic COVID-19 patients in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, collected between March 2021 and August 2022, were retrieved from the laboratory biorepository and analysed from November 2022 to February 2023. These included five positive samples with cycle threshold (Ct) values ranging from ≤ 20 to 40, and 1217 negative samples. Positive samples were pooled with negative ones at increasing dilution ratios (1:4–1:64), to assess detection sensitivity on the GeneXpert platform.Results: A positive sample with a Ct value ≤ 25 could be pooled with up to 64 negative samples while maintaining a detectable positive result. However, samples with Ct values of 36–40 could only be pooled with a maximum of eight negative samples. Higher Ct values reduced pooling effectiveness.Conclusion: Sample pooling is a feasible method for scaling up COVID-19 RT-PCR testing in resource-limited settings like Nigeria. The Ct value is critical in determining optimal pool sizes for accurate detection.What this study adds: The findings provide critical guidelines for determining the optimal pool sizes based on Ct values, aiding in effective COVID-19 testing strategies. By optimising sample pooling based on viral load, health authorities can improve their response to future COVID-19 outbreaks and similar public health emergencies.

Review of final-year medical students’ rural attachment at district hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal: student perspectives
Authors: Diab P. , McNeill P.D. , Ross A.J.
Published: February 2025

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the views of students involved in rural community-based medical attachments during their final year at medical school. The programme has been in existence for some time, but no formal evaluation thereof has yet taken place. This paper describes the first two phases of what is described as a quality improvement project: namely to describe the problem state and to discuss possible activities to improve the programme. Design, setting and subjects: The study adopted a mixture of quantitative and qualitative type research. Data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire which students at Nelson R Mandela Medical School, University of KwaZulu-Natal, completed at the end of their Family Medicine rotation. Consent was obtained from the participants and ethical approval granted by the University of KwaZulu-Natal Humanities and Social Science Ethics Committee.Results: Students were generally positive about their rural attachment experience. The majority (86%) believed that their skills adequately prepared them to enter the community. Allocation of a supervisor and rostering were found to be of great importance. Academic activities provided adequate learning opportunities. The majority (76%) of students who used hospital accommodation found it to be satisfactory, although it was an area that needed attention. Technological support was lacking. Fewer than 50% of students had access to such facilities. Conclusion: Students’ responses were generally positive about the rural attachment experience, but logistical and technological support issues, as well as that of accommodation, need to be addressed if the programme is to flourish. Community-based education in a rural district hospital can provide unique learning opportunities for students if the opportunities are identified and the programme is well managed.
