Non-coding RNAs in the brain: new class of prospective biomarkers and therapeutics
Authors: Goel Rajeev
Published: September 2023

The human genome encrypts around 20,000 protein coding genes, constituting around 1% of the total human genome sequence. The rest of it initially labeled as a “junk DNA” is transcribed to a distinct class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which do not code for any protein in the cell and their presence was quite intriguing to the researchers. The recent studies, however, have surprisingly revealed the vital roles of these ncRNAs in regulating an array of diverse cellular and biological processes in different organs including brain. The dysfunction of these regulatory ncRNAs in human brain causes certain neurological disorders and brain tumors which earlier have been widely linked to various risk factors such as oxidative stress, genetic mutations, aberrant protein degradation and dysfunctional neural network.  This review provides an    overview of different types of ncRNAs, their regulatory roles in brain functions and neurological disorders along with their   prospects to be used as potential biomarkers and therapeutics.
Turystyka osób z niepełnosprawnościami w świetle badań własnych
Authors: Werner Aleksandra
Published: September 2023

Out of nearly 8 billion people, more than 1 billion experience some kind of disability. On average, one in four citizens in the European Union is a person with a disability. And this trend will increase due to the growing proportion of older people in the general population. Tourism has taken an important place in the lives of people with disabilities. It is not only a source of entertainment and relaxation but also of rehabilitation in its broadest sense. It has therapeutic qualities, allowing people to rebuild their faith in their own strengths, accept their limitations and improve their mental health. Travelling and active leisure have become a specific stimulus supporting the recovery process and sometimes shortening its duration. Therefore, it is important to adapt the environment to the needs and requirements of people with disabilities. This article attempts to identify barriers and solutions supporting tourists with disabilities and analyze accessibility of tourist base in Szczecin on selected examples. Suggestions for actions aimed at maximizing facilities and minimizing or eliminating existing limitations are also given.
Imaging the Absolute: Can Philosophy Visualize Abstractions?
Authors: Miodoński Leon
Published: September 2023

Niniejszy artykuł składa się z trzech części: W pierwszej części syntetycznie przedstawiono zarys tendencji intelektualnych w myśli post renesansowej (hermetyzm, alchemia, kabalistyka), które wygenerowały zwrot ikoniczny (emblematyka, ikonologia). Jego istota sprowadza się do integralnego związku motta (lemma), ryciny (imago) i tekstu poetyckiego (subskrypcja). Część druga stanowi dokładniejszą analizę jednej z ilustracji zawartej w pierwszym tomie niemieckiego wydania dzieł Jacoba Böhme z roku 1682 (Amsterdam). Epoka, obowiązujące wówczas gusty estetyczne oraz teozoficzna zawartość dzieła pozwalają odczytywać tę ilustrację z punktu widzenia ikonologii. Natomiast część trzecia poświęcona jest dwóm kwestiom. Po pierwsze, jednym z centralnych wątków w idealizmie niemieckim była dyskusja wokół pojęcia absolutu: czy absolut da się ująć w pojęciach (Hegel), czy też w oglądzie wewnętrznym (Schelling). W romantyzmie dominowała tendencja do subiektywno-spekulatywnego ujmowania absolutu. Filozofia i sztuka romantyzmu wzorowała się m.in. na średniowiecznej mistyce niemieckiej i teozofii Böhme, poszukując w tych źródłach najlepszego przedstawienia tego, co nieprzedstawialne, czyli absolutu. Po drugie, romantyzm filozoficzny i artystyczny wypracował nowy typ obrazowania – obrazy językowe. Dylemat, jaki wynikał z dyskusji w idealizmie niemieckim – pojęcie czy ogląd wewnętrzny, ze współczesnego punktu widzenia, należałoby rozwiązać kompromisowo: słowo i obraz.
Metaforyczna konceptualizacja natury życia chrześcijańskiego w wypowiedziach uczestników rekolekcji oazowych dla dorosłych
Authors: Kuczok Marcin
Published: September 2023

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest analiza konceptualizacji natury życia chrześcijańskiego w wypowiedziach uczestników rekolekcji oazowych dla dorosłych. Zgodnie z założeniami semantyki kognitywnej, w konceptualizację sfery religijnej, w tym także w pojęcie życie chrześcijańskie, wpisane są metafory pojęciowe. Uczestnicy rekolekcji oazowych to osoby zaangażowane w katolicki Ruch Światło-Życie, a zatem ludzie wierzący i posiadający doświadczenie życia chrześcijańskiego. Ich wypowiedzi zostały uzyskane za pomocą ankiety, zawierającej pytania otwarte, dotyczące rozumienia i przeżywania przez nich wiary. W ramach analizy badanych wypowiedzi dokonano identyfikacji obecnych w nich domen źródłowych metafor życia chrześcijańskiego, wytypowano najpopularniejsze i najrzadsze z nich, a także wskazano korelaty leksykalne, za których pomocą respondenci wyrażali metaforyczną konceptualizację natury życia chrześcijańskiego. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na kontekst pojęciowo-poznawczy Ruchu Światło-Życie, który, zgodnie z najnowszymi teoriami na temat metafory pojęciowej, odgrywa znaczącą rolę w torowaniu drogi dla metafor w dyskursie.
Dyskurs animalistyczny w polskim językoznawstwie synchronicznym
Authors: Filip Grażyna
Published: September 2023

Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy, a w konsekwencji cel pragmatyczny. Podstawę materiałową stanowią językoznawcze publikacje na temat relacji człowiek–zwierzę wydane w ciągu ponad trzydziestu lat (1990-2022). Głównym kryterium doboru publikacji reprezentujących dyskurs animalistyczny było synchroniczne instrumentarium zastosowane przez autorów prezentowanych tekstów, a nie datacja utworów/zbiorów jednostek leksykalnych wybranych do zilustrowania językowego lub językowo-kulturowego podłoża poczynionych przez nich analiz.

Wyodrębniono dwa główne nurty badań będące podstawą kompozycji niniejszego artykułu: 1) opartą na opozycji homo–animal perspektywę antropocentryczną i związane z nią negatywne wartościowanie zwierząt oraz 2) proekologiczny, a ściślej prozwierzęcy naukowy punkt widzenia. Klasyfikacja ma charakter porządkujący i nie służy przeciwstawianiu obydwu wyodrębnionych perspektyw postrzegania zwierząt. Wielu badaczy stwierdziło bowiem niekonsekwencję lub ambiwalencję ich wizerunków utrwalonych w języku. Naukowej genezy dla obydwu postaw poszukuje się wśród tych samych czynników kulturotwórczych.
Jak jedzą zwierzęta? Interpretacje lingwistyczne
Authors: Gasz Agnieszka
Published: September 2023

Artykuł przedstawia próbę opisu polskich czasowników nazywających czynność jedzenia u zwierząt. W celu wyodrębnienia predykatów orzekanych o zwierzętach zbadano podstawowe ograniczenia selekcyjne dotyczące wypełnienia pozycji wykonawcy i obiektu czynności nakładane w tym zakresie przez leksemy jeść i żreć. Następnie dla rozgraniczenia pozostałych „ludzkich” i „zwierzęcych” czasowników jedzenia przetestowano łączliwość czasowników oznaczających niektóre sposoby przyjmowania pokarmu właściwe dla istot żywych niebędących ludźmi (dziobać, skubać, paść się, żerować, pasożytować). Do analizy materiału językowego zastosowano narzędzia badawcze wypracowane w obrębie semantyki leksykalnej.
Dlaczego rodzice edukują dzieci w domu? Motywy podjęcia edukacji domowej w świetle badań własnych
Authors: Lendzion Kinga , Wołk Agnieszka
Published: September 2023

W artykule zostały zaprezentowane wyniki ilościowych badań własnych przeprowadzonych techniką ankiety internetowej wśród 393 rodziców edukujących dzieci w domu. Artykuł obejmuje zarówno krótką charakterystykę społeczno-demograficzną rodziców, jak i analizę motywów przenoszenia dzieci ze szkół systemowych na nauczanie domowe. Motywy wskazane przez badanych rodziców zostały poddane analizie zgodnie z przyjętą w literaturze przedmiotu klasyfikacją na motywacje pozytywne (czynniki przyciągające – pull factors) i negatywne (czynniki odpychające – push factors). Warto zaznaczyć, że wśród pięciu najczęściej wskazywanych motywów dominowały czynniki odpychające od szkół systemowych – brak indywidualnego podejścia do dziecka w szkole, zbytnie przeciążenie nauką oraz pogoń za ocenami i rywalizacja między uczniami w szkole.
Pogłębiający się kryzys jako akcelerator wycofania ze sfery publicznej czy aktywator zaangażowania obywatelskiego?
Authors: Kwiecińska-Zdrenka Monika
Published: September 2023

W artykule poszukuje się odpowiedzi na pytania, czy zmierzenie się z kryzysem (kryzysami) i towarzyszącym temu indywidualnego doświadczenia niepokoju może prowadzić do dalszego wycofania się osób młodych ze sfery publicznej (pogłębienie indyferentyzmu i bezradności obywatelskiej), czy też przeciwnie – może posłużyć jako swoisty wyzwalacz uśpionego potencjału obywatelskiego młodych (o ile mają odpowiednie ku temu obywatelskie kompetencje) lub emergencji nowych relacji obywatel–państwo, obywatele–społeczne problemy? Drugie pytanie dotyczy tego, czy Polacy wychowujący się i socjalizowani w odmiennych politycznych kontekstach (młodzi dorośli – ok. 35-letni – i ich rodzice w wieku ok. 60 lat) mogą uruchomić odmienne strategie w obliczu tych nowych wyzwań. Odpowiedzi na nie poszukujemy na podstawie materiału empirycznego pochodzącego z toruńskiego badania podłużnego obejmującego dwa pokolenia (osób urodzonych w 1958 i w 1983 roku – starsze pokolenie objęte było kilkukrotnymi badaniami od 1973 roku).
Realization of Moral Values in the Opinion of Respondents as a Factor Conditioning Educational Achievements
Authors: Szlachta Ewelina
Published: September 2023

Wartości moralne pełnią istotną rolę w życiu każdego człowieka – stanowią drogowskaz dla jego postępowania, swojego rodzaju wewnętrzny kompas nadający kierunek jego działaniom na każdej płaszczyźnie funkcjonowania. W tej perspektywie wartości moralne stają się „filtrem”, który nadaje charakter postępowaniu podmiotu działania w dążeniu do obranego celu. Środowisko szkolne, stanowiąc jedną z płaszczyzn, na której funkcjonuje młodzież, jest obszarem, gdzie osiągnięcia edukacyjne, takie jak: wyniki w nauce oraz ocena z zachowania, stanowią jeden z elementów określających efektywność prowadzonych działań dydaktyczno-wychowawczych przez pozostałe podmioty szkoły, w tym edukacji aksjologicznej, a w jej obrębie niezwykle ważnej, skutecznej edukacji moralnej, obejmującej takie wartości moralne, jak: odpowiedzialność, prawość, wierność, prawdę i dobroć. Urzeczywistnianie wartości stanowi podstawę dla wzmacniania motywacji wewnętrznej, która stanowi istotny czynnik w dążeniu do postawionego celu, jakim są określone cele edukacyjne, których odbiciem są m.in. oceny szkolne, ocena z zachowania, uczestnictwo w konkursach przedmiotowych i olimpiadach. W procesie wychowania do wartości, istotnym etapem jest klaryfikacja wartości, odnosząca się w pierwszej fazie do autorefleksji nad własnymi zachowaniami, postawami, uczuciami, zainteresowaniami oraz obranymi celami, co w następstwie prowadzi do uświadomienia sobie oraz oceny własnego systemu wartości. Analiza własnych działań ucznia w perspektywie osiągnięć edukacyjnych pod względem urzeczywistniania wartości moralnych ukazuje różne przestrzenie dla edukacji aksjologicznej, wymagające podejmowania działań ze strony nauczyciela–wychowawcy. Celem opracowania jest zaprezentowanie tego, w jaki sposób w ocenie badanych uczniów szkół średnich, urzeczywistnianie wartości moralnych – odpowiedzialności, prawości, wierności, prawdy oraz dobroci oddziałuje na osiągnięcia edukacyjne.
Contriving emotional resilience through spirituality in the light of Vedanta
Authors: Narasimhan Pavithra  Lakshmi , Saputra Heru
Published: September 2023

This study examines the Indian perspective on emotions, focusing on the concept of Gunas or Subjective Experiences. Indian Philosophies emphasize the transient nature of emotions and advocate for achieving emotional equilibrium through allegiance to a higher power and surrender. The study concludes that spirituality plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' emotional experiences, contributing to improved mental well-being and reduced narcissistic tendencies. Religious practices foster a sense of security and trust in a "superior being", while emotions involve the feelings experienced towards God or the Divine. Resilience, defined as the ability to adapt in the face of difficulties, is closely linked to these components. The hypothesis posits that an affinity towards the concept of God optimizes both emotions and resilience, fostering well-being across physical, psychological, emotional, and social domains. By investigating the interplay between emotions, religion, and resilience from an Indian perspective, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of their complex relationship and their impact on mental health. The utilization of library research allows for an in-depth exploration of relevant literature and philosophical texts. The insights derived from this research have the potential to inform mental health interventions and promote holistic well-being in diverse cultural contexts. By recognizing the significance of religious and spiritual factors in emotional experiences and resilience, practitioners can tailor interventions that address the specific needs of individuals within different cultural and religious frameworks, ultimately enhancing their overall mental well-being.
Cultural aspects for adaptation to the climate change impacts on the Ecosystem Services in a case study of Central Amazon

Published: September 2023

Climate adaptation tends to face resistance or produce adverse effects, if it is tested only on the generalist scientific models, ignoring its effects on the culture, values, and worldviews of local communities. This article investigates how climate change has threatened the livelihood and cultural dimensions of peri-urban communities in the Central Amazon. The analysis is based on the cultural theory of risk in climate adaptation and its relationships to local Ecosystem Services (ES). In this case study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with residents of three municipalities in the Metropolitan Area of Manaus-Brazil. Given that their diet used to be heavily based on native food, the results show how Amazonian communities are adapting their eating habits in response to climate and environmental changes to the ES decline in the category of food security (i.e., in the class of provisioning ES). In addition, these services have relevant cultural value (i.e., cultural services). The ES reduction influences adaptation strategies amid the dismantling of current environmental policies. As a result, these communities began to adopt industrialized means of production and consumption, such as adopting products derived from cattle, whose production is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil. Therefore, the studied case demonstrates how climate adaptation may pressure and erode local cultures, when these following the logic of globalized urbanization.

Published: September 2023

O município de Petrópolis-RJ, Brasil, está exposto a eventos extremos de precipitação, que resultam em danos e perdas econômicas diretas e indiretas. Para verificar o aumento ou não desses eventos, o objetivo foi avaliar o padrão temporal das chuvas no município (1976-2022), identificando se o evento ocorrido em 2022 pode ser considerado um evento extremo, bem como a relação entre pluviometria e intensidade do impacto, em termos dos danos e perdas deflagrados. Foram então calculados os acumulados de precipitação em 24 horas (RX1), em 5 dias (RX5), percentis 95 e 99 (R95 e R99), Índice de Anomalia de Chuvas (IAC) e análises de tendência pelo método Mann-Kendall, bem como dados de perdas e danos. Os resultados não indicaram viés de aumento dos extremos de precipitação, embora tenha confirmado o evento ocorrido em fevereiro de 2022 como um evento extremo, o qual se configurou como o maior da série histórica analisada.
A framework proposal: analysing studies of circular economy with the institutional theory
Authors: Streit Jorge Alfredo Cerqueira , Guarnieri Patrícia , Ouro-Salim Omar
Published: September 2023

This study proposes a framework to facilitate the Circular Economy (CE) implementation cases analysis from the Institutional Theory (IT) perspective. The development of this theoretical framework was based on the levels of operationalisation of the Circular Economy and the types of isomorphic changes. To demonstrate the framework's applicability, we present a matrix classifying 59 case studies into nine quadrants (3 x 3). Subsequently, the papers' contents were discussed, revealing strategies and practices for institutional behavioural change that drive CE implementation at the micro, meso, and macro levels. Therefore, the results of this work contribute not only to academia by introducing a new way of analysing CE case studies but also to managers by discussing implemented or ongoing implementation cases.

La promoción del trabajo, mediante políticas de fomento y competitividad de las MYPES en el marco de una economía social de mercado
Authors: Centty Villafuerte Deymor , Flores García Aníbal , Tito Chura Hugo
Published: September 2023

En el marco de una economía social de mercado, y de un Estado constitucional de derecho, las denominadas pequeñas y microempresas (MYPES) son una fuente de autoempleo, es decir, conforman los denominados propietarios-trabajadores. Por tal motivo, se hace necesario que se reconozca constitucionalmente la obligatoriedad del Estado de garantizar la generación de empleos dignos a través de la promoción de una política pública de formalización y competitividad de las MYPES, y debe de estar positivizado en un artículo específico en la parte correspondiente a los derechos económicos reconocidos por la constitución vigente de Perú. En la presente investigación se ha podido argumentar que en la medida en que dichas empresas (MYPES) se consoliden y crezcan no solo pueden llegar a generar los puestos de empleo que la economía formal, de mediano y gran tamaño no generan de manera suficiente y estructural, sino que además pueden aportar significativamente al incremento de la recaudación fiscal, que es uno de los objetivos de la economía social de mercado para el cumplimiento de los fines sociales dispuestos por el Estado Constitucional de Derecho.

Authors: Xavier Yanko Marcius de Alencar , França Vladimir da Rocha , Lopes Karoline Fernandes Pinto
Published: September 2023

O estudo analisará o direito à liberdade econômica e o direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado. Esses direitos têm guarida constitucional e ocupam o cerne de discussões nos meios político, social e econômico. Sabe-se que o desenvolvimento econômico, garantido em grande parte pelo direito à liberdade econômica, é imprescindível para a humanidade. Paralelamente, o direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado é inerente à vida humana, sendo fator crucial a perpetuação das futuras gerações. Diante desse contexto, surge a problemática do estudo: é possível usufruir e garantir o direito à liberdade econômica e o direito ao meio ambiente simultaneamente? O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a compatibilidade dos mencionados direitos, sustentando a hipótese inicial de que a adoção do modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável permite o usufruto simultâneo e harmonioso desses direitos. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa para responder à indagação tem cunho teórico. Para o desenvolvimento da narrativa, serão utilizadas fontes secundárias oriundas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Ao final, conclui-se que o desenvolvimento sustentável se apresenta como a ponte de equilíbrio entre os direitos analisados.
Management of the Neapolitan Public Banks' Crisis in the Late XVIIIth Century: The Model of "Banco Generale" as an Instrument of Going Concern Settlement
Authors: Coronella Stefano , Risaliti Gianluca , Izzo Teresa , Evangelista Ludovica
Published: September 2023

The troubled political and financial events of the Kingdom of Naples under the Bourbon dominion in the late 18th century outline the environmental perimeter in which the business phenomenon, subject of this investigation, will be deepened: the unification of the Neapolitan public banks under the shared aegis of “National Bank of Naples” in 1794. The analysis will aim to examine thoroughly the complex reasons underlying the last and irreversible crisis of the ancient Neapolitan public banks highlighting how the structural, functional as well as conceptual characteristics of these institutes changed in response to the socio-economic scenario shifts. Particularly, the contribution intends to critically discuss the social and political implications of the extensive reform promulgated by the central government, under King Ferdinand IV, for the restoration of the Neapolitan banking system.

The normative corpus was reconstucted basing on a large collection of primary sources, collated through meticulous archival research, and secondary ones, arising from historiographical and academic literature. For this purpose, the work integrates into the research unit of History of Companies and Public Institution, by adopting a theoretical perspective of historical-administrative origins. According to the examined sources, the inadequacy of the royal measures led to a deep systemic crisis, which resulted to be fatal for the ancient Neapolitan banks.
Disputas sobre a gestão da pandemia de Covid-19 nas prisões brasileiras
Authors: Sinhoretto Jacqueline , Silva Raphael de Almeida
Published: September 2023

O artigo trata sobre a gestão da pandemia de COVID-19 nas prisões brasileiras em nível nacional, abordando os documentos emitidos pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça e as posições do Governo Federal, de instituições estatais e da sociedade civil. Recorreu-se à análise de documentos, notícias de jornal, entrevistas com atores selecionados, os quais representam diferentes posições no debate público. Foram enfocadas as disputas sobre como gerir a população prisional durante a crise sanitária, identificando as principais linhas e ações propostas. Os resultados apontaram as resistências às propostas de desencarceramento e indicaram a existência de trânsito de atores entre instituições. Os achados contribuem com o conhecimento do funcionamento do campo do controle do crime e seus limites, que se mostraram operantes mesmo em situações de crise. A postura negacionista da crise sanitária adotada pelo Governo Federal exerceu um importante papel no enfraquecimento das medidas propostas para a gestão da saúde da população privada de liberdade, diluindo a importância das especificidades dos contextos de confinamento e a excepcionalidade do momento pandêmico.

Authors: Hidayat Wahyu , Baiquni Muhammad , Kurniawan Andri
Published: September 2023

Lake Toba is still surrounded by a stunningly lush environment and one of the biggest lakes in Asia and the world. Gradually, this tourist destination began to be recognized by the people of Indonesia and also the world. The tourist village located in Tuktuk Siadong Village is in an area of the peninsula of Lake Toba, in this tourist village you can find many hotels with various choices and always offer direct views of Lake Toba. This study aimed to describe the spatial development of Tuktuk Siadong Village in Samosir Regency based on tourist destination attributes such as tourist attractions and tourist characteristics. This study used a qualitative descriptive methodology to assess spatial development considering the attributes of popular tourist sites, including tourist attractions and visitor traits. The results showed that the spatial development in the study area was more spread out following the existing circulation path and following the traditional Batak development pattern which produces clusters and is unrelated to the major transportation channel. Tuktuk Siadong Village will become a tourist destination, with cultural tourism attractions from Huta Batak in sight. The landscape, which is a component of the spatial structure, must be preserved along with traditional settlements. The spatial development of the tourism area on Lake Toba can refer to the model that has been prepared so that it can make tourism on Lake Toba in a better and more sustainable direction.

Authors: Moura Cabral Sara , Abreu Inês , Madama Daniela , Estevão Amélia , Cordeiro Eugénio , Pimentel João , Miranda Nuno , Ferreira António Jorge , Robalo Cordeiro Carlos
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The Urgeiriça mines were once the main uranium producer in Portugal. The aim of this study was to estimate the benefit of low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening in former miners that were considered as being at high-risk.Methods: A subgroup of former miners of the Uranium National Company exposed to uranium and with a smoking load greater than 20 pack-years, agreed to perform a LDCT. The Fleischner Society Guidelines were used to classify the nodules and establish follow-up.Results: Initially, 265 former employees of the Uranium National Company were included. The mean time of employment was 15 (0 - 45) years. The non-smokers represented 50.9% and 30.2% were ever smokers; the remaining chose not to respond. One diagnosis of lung cancer was initially made. In the second phase, a subgroup of 66 former miner underwent a LDCT, 37 of whom presented pulmonary nodules. Most computed tomography (CT) scans revealed one single nodule (n = 13) and the mean size was 5 (1 - 16) mm. A suspicious 16 mm spiculated nodule was evaluated with PET/CT, and percutaneous and surgical biopsies, ultimately revealing a benign lesion.Conclusion: The data highlights the importance of lung cancer screening in high-risk populations. This was, to the best of our knowledge, the first study performed in Portugal and can act as a bridge towards a wider implementation in the country.

Authors: Suparda Dadik Dwi Fata , Kurniawati Ninuk Dian , Wahyudi Andri Setiya
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Circumcision is a minor surgical operation that cuts the foreskin at the tip of the penis. Pain and anxiety are problems that all children who undergo surgery experience. This study aimed to review virtual reality game interventions to reduce pain and anxiety from pre, intra, and post-circumcision in children.Methods: Literature study using four databases (Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar) using quantitative research with RCT and quasi-experimental designs, using virtual reality, audio-visual and game interventions which were limited from 2018 to 2022 according to combination of keywords and using English. The framework investigation using PICOT, guidance protocol with PRISMA, and accessing the eligibility of articles systematically by checking for duplicates, titles, and abstracts and determining the eligibility of the full text according to the study of the goals.Results: Thirteen articles met the inclusion criteria. Of the thirteen articles, 1074 children were circumcised. Circumcision causes pain and anxiety in children, so non-pharmacological interventions are needed to overcome it. Virtual reality games are a distraction technique to reduce circumcision pain by diverting the child’s attention and reducing anxiety by providing interventions that children like using audio-visual media and games, with virtual reality or not.Conclusions: Virtual reality games intervention is a distraction technique to reduce pain and anxiety in circumcised children. The combination of interventions using traditional games or the latest technology must be considered to improve service quality.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have several applications in nanoscience and nanomedicine such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inﬂammatory and anti-angiogenic properties. In the present study, the AgNPs were synthesized by the chemical method and characterised using a combination of UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The AgNPs were made by chemically reducing AgNO3 with NaBH4 leading to the formation of a characteristic yellowish-brown colour of AgNPs. To investigate the formation, crystalline behavior, and quality of AgNPs powder, XRD measurements were performed. The produced AgNPs were found to be spherical, dispersed, and scattered in form and the particle size of the AgNPs formed was about 15 nm and they were crystalline in nature. The interaction of AgNO3 with biomolecules may have numerous applications in nanoscience and nanomedicine.

The purpose of this research is to find out how the opinion of the college students about LGBT and how in the view of Islam. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive analysis approach. The research subjects were the college students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews and documentation as well as questionnaires. The data analysis technique uses inductive, namely analysisthat departs from data and leads to general conclusions. The technique for checking the validity of the data used in this study is the cross check technique, namely the technique of crossing out information obtained from sources, so that in the end only the valid ones used to achieve research results. Cross check is done by crossing the information obtained through questionnaires and observation with interviews. The results of the study show that LGBT is very clearly prohibited by Islam. The reasonwhy LGBT is banned is because it violates human nature, meaning that men should marry women, not other men. The reason why LGBT is prohibited is because it is a heinous act, a disgraceful act, violates religious rules, and can cause various sexual diseases. If there is a group that supports LGBT for the sole reason of respecting humanrights, that is wrong and also encourages damage to future generations. What should be done is to make these people (LGBT) aware so they don't violate religious rules. Ofcourse the method is not violence, but is approached slowly and then slowly spoken to.
