Exploring Unconventional Clinical Careers
Authors: Stacy Sylvie
Published: June 2024

This article challenges the notion that conventional jobs are the most effective or beneficial approach to a career in medicine. The evolution of medical practice has led to organization-based roles, specialization, and adherence to established care standards. There are many ways to deviate from conventional work in medicine and find satisfaction, however, such as in practice settings beyond hospitals or outpatient medical offices and by adopting cutting-edge medical technologies and treatments. The author emphasizes that unconventional careers are an integral part of medicine and offers a perspective that other labels like “alternative” or “nontraditional” do not capture as well.
How Much Is an Idea Worth?
Authors: Pareras Luis
Published: June 2024

The value of an idea in the world of investing is often overestimated, as investors are more interested in the team’s ability to turn the idea into a product or service that meets customers’ needs and wants. While an idea is the starting point, it holds no value until it faces market realities, competitors, regulations, and other factors that shape its worth. Investors look for startups with a robust execution plan, a resilient team, scalability, adaptability, early validation, and a compelling pitch. Scientific results also hold value as a starting point for potential therapies or products, but their ultimate worth depends on successful translation. The key lesson for startups and investors alike is to not overestimate the value of raw ideas or scientific results without considering the execution process’s challenges and requirements.
Formulação e análise de estabilidade de Gel-Creme com Óleos Essenciais de Melaleuca e Erva-Baleeira
Authors: Brezolin Gabriela Carolina , Gomes Bruna Roman , Silva Schirlei Diana Kleinubing
Published: June 2024

A acne é uma doença de pele comum, causada pela bactéria Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), que afeta principalmente adolescentes, mas também jovens e adultos. Há uma variedade de tratamentos disponíveis, como antibióticos (tópicos e sistêmicos), retinóides, terapia hormonal, entre outros. Embora alguns desses tratamentos possam ser altamente eficazes, eles podem causar efeitos colaterais. Considerando a alta incidência da condição e a possibilidade de resistência bacteriana, os óleos essenciais estão surgindo como alternativas naturais promissoras. Eles são menos agressivos em comparação com os medicamentos convencionais e possuem propriedades anti-inflamatórias, antibacterianas, antifúngicas, cicatrizantes, entre outras. Tendo em vista esta condição, foi desenvolvida uma formulação de gel-creme com os óleos essenciais de melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia) e erva-baleeira (Cordia verbenacea). Evidências sugerem que o uso do óleo de melaleuca é eficaz no tratamento contra acne. A erva baleeira, uma planta medicinal nativa do Brasil, conta com poderosas propriedades anti-inflamatórias e é eficaz no tratamento de inflamações tópicas. Para a avaliação da estabilidade da formulação, foram conduzidas análises de estabilidade acelerada com o objetivo de assegurar que o produto mantenha sua estabilidade conforme os requisitos estabelecidos.

Objetivou-se avaliar a influência dos níveis de reposição de água no crescimento e na produtividade de cultivares de algodoeiro no norte de Minas Gerais. Para isso, foi conduzido um experimento de campo em Janaúba – MG, envolvendo cinco tratamentos de níveis de reposição de água no solo via demanda evapotranspirométrica (T1 = 100; T2 = 85; T3 = 70; T4 = 55 e T5 = 40% da ETc) e quatro cultivares (Delta Pine 1746 B2RF®; TMG 44 B2RF®; FM985 GLTp® e FM983 GLT®). Os tratamentos foram dispostos em arranjo experimental de parcelas subdivididas, ficando as reposições nas parcelas e as quatro cultivares nas subparcelas, no delineamento em blocos casualizados, com 4 repetições. Os níveis de irrigação abaixo de 85% da ETc reduzem o crescimento do algodoeiro. Já niveis de irrigação abaixo de 98,5% da ETc reduzem a produtividade de algodão em caroço das cultivares. As cultivares de algodoeiro FM 985GLTP e FM 983GLT foram as mais produtivas. Não houve diferença entre as cultivares para a produtividade de algodão em caroço com a redução dos niveis de irrigação.

Pápa katolikus kisgimnáziumának és református kollégiumának diákjai a reformkorban
Authors: Sasfi Csaba
Published: June 2024

The study scrutinizes the social structure of the students at the two different denominational grammar schools of Pápa, a medium-sized Transdanubian town, in two sample years of the Reform Period (1828, 1844). The study first of all outlines the problems and possibilities of such a research, but some of its conclusions could be a starting point for further studies. Such a result, for example, that catholic grammar school students living in Pápa attended school twice or three times as often as reformed ones, yet the catholic grammar school due to its limited capacity could not offer an exceptional chance for gram m ar school studies. That chance for local students of the College, because of the smaller size of the reformed population, was twice as large. The majority of local craftsmen in both schools is considerable. This fact, taking into account the parents of the catholic grammar school students, indicates the predom inance of a local community with civic rights, which might have resulted in the hegemony of a civic-type scale of values among students. Due to the minority of local reformed students, the num ber of those coming from densely populated reformed counties could have been bigger in the reformed institution than in the catholic one. So the local spirit, the mentality of the town might have been less prevailing or might have appeared in different ways.
A peregrináció-kutatás eredményei a magyarországi történetírásban
Authors: Szögi László
Published: June 2024

The pursuit of studies at universities abroad was quite frequent, outnumbering the European average, due to the fact that the system of the Hungarian higher education developed later. Before 1526 there were 12000 students, between 1526-1788 25.000, and between 1789-1919 55.000 who enrolled in European universities. The results of the research conducted by the author show that after 1526 most students registered at Vienna universities (43,7%), while 57% of the students from H ungary pursued their studies at universities in the Habsburg Empire. 28% of the students studying in a foreign country visited universities in the German provinces. 4% of those peregrinating studied in the Netherlands, 3,5% in Italy, 3,3% in Switzerland, 2% in Poland and the Baltic countries. The catholic and protestant peregrination is relatively balanced in the 16-18th Centuries. 16 volum es of the serial consisting of 26 volumes have already been published. There are a couple of volumes likely to be published on a yearly basis. After completion, the project data of 90.000 students will be available for researchers.
Törvényalkotási folyamat a pápai kollégiumban a XVIII. század végéig
Authors: Köblös József
Published: June 2024

Law-books are instrumental base-documents in the inner lives of colleges. Due to changes in curriculum , educational system, behavioral and dressing codes and in standards of discipline, som e parts of laws need changing. In most cases amendm ents were attached to certain paragraphs. These were first put dow n at the end of the law-book and then, when a new copy of law -book was being made, the amendm ents got incorporated into the previous text. W hen too m any amendments accumulated, it was time to construct a new law-book. It is this process in the history of the Pápa College that we reconstruct in this study. The text of the first law-book formulated in 1585 was only preserved by a volume copied in 1728-1729. But this text, originating from the late 1720s, includes amendments from later periods as well. Paragraph 24 must have been formulated after 1725 since its text mentions a student rebellion taking place on 20 November, 1725. The origin of paragraphs 21-23 must go back to the period following the 1660s, considering the dates of issue of the student's books listed here. Amendments made after 1725 were not attached to the 1585 law-book. These texts were preserved by the first minute-book of the local presbytery. There are two tendencies that can be identified when examining the six new amendments: more severe punishments and the dependence of the rector on the patrons. The Adásztevel period discountinued the legislative process, but the reconstruction of the College,a period of one and a half decade lasting until 1797, intensified the process. The second m inute-book of the Pápa Presbytery contains shorter and longer amendments representing a change in the previous tendencies. Punishments became more motivating as opposed to punitive sanctions, and the independence of rectors began to grow at the expense of lay leaders. As a new stage in the process, new law-books occured, first in 1789 for the elementary and gram m ar school and then in 1794 for the higher education. Finally it was time to construct a new law-book that aimed at regulating the entire life of the College. As a result of the process, the second law-book of the College w as declared in 1798.
Sopron vármegye ingyenmunka-adója a pápai vár erődítésére a XVII. század derekán (1622–1670)
Authors: Dominkovits Péter
Published: June 2024

Parallel to the integration of the Pápa fortress into the Transdanubian system of fortresses , regulations to maintain and strengthen these fortresses were passed by the Diet (articles 1556:9, 1559:3). These articles commitioned Sopron County to supply and build the Pápa fortress with the help of free labour. The essay scrutinizes how this free labour (gratuitus labor) was regulated on the basis of an agreement between the Transdanubian orders and Habsburg king from the Sopron Diet in 1622 to the end of 1670. Researching the documents of the Sopron County general assembles, the author provides data concerning free labour taxation in Sopron County, the amount of tax and the settlements taxed. The period examined shows a permanent rescheduling of debts and an icreasement in the monetary redepmtion of arrears. A list of settlements in Sopron County from 1670 shows that free labour tax was mostly offered by settlements located in the western part of the county, while those in Rábaköz threatened by the Ottoman were not able to fully meet the requirements.

Authors: Gupta Aakash , Kameswaran Ponniah , Singh Avanish
Published: June 2024

We have proposed a three-pronged approach to identify sustainable practices during road construction: (1) Route segmentation and identification of drive phases, including loading and dumping stages; (2) Use of Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and digital terrain models(DTM) acquired by UAVs to measure progress of construction from volumetric changes; and (3) Use of vegetation indices derived from satellite imagery to calculate changes in carbon stock. The paper introduces a novel technique for identifying driving phases for heavy trucks based only on GPS data. We also delve into how these approaches can serve as the foundational elements in the creation of digital twins tailored to the construction industry.

Published: June 2024

This study presents the design and programming of a modern new class of radio-controlled electric vertical takeoff and landing (E-VTOL) aircraft using lightweight polylactic acid (LW-PLA). Utilizing the LW-PLA cork foam material is crucial to lowering the aircraft's total weight and improving its mechanical characteristics at the same time. The type of LW-PLA utilized in this study was specific, and its fabrication process was made possible by a Creality Cr 10s pro-3D printer. In this study, a lightweight polylactic acid was used to demonstrate the design of an electric vertical takeoff and landing (E-VTOL) aircraft (LW-PLA). It is essential to use the LW-PLA cork foam material to reduce the overall weight of the airplane and enhance its mechanical properties simultaneously. The particular kind of LW-PLA used in this model was manufactured using a Creality Cr 10s pro-3D printer. Solid Work version 2021 was utilized in the development of the mathematical model. Since radio-controlled aircraft capable of vertical takeoff and landing can carry out both tasks, the goal of this study is to find the best way to utilize the features that both airplanes and drones have in common. Consequently, the suggested model represents a sophisticated enhancement of the aerodynamic characteristics of the many types of radio control aircraft that are capable of performing vertical takeoffs and landings

Authors: N. M Ramesha , Asritha Chava , C. M Rafee , M. G Hegde , S. M Hiremath
Published: June 2024

Roving survey was conducted in major carrot growing districts of Karnataka, India during rabi/summer 2021-22 to record the incidence of different insect pests and their natural enemies in carrot at the pre-rooting stage and rooting stage. Observations were made from the three randomly selected spots in each field and from each spot, five plants were observed for incidence by looking at the symptoms inflicted by the different insect pests. Data on damage by agromyzid fly was registered by adopting destructive sampling method. Among the three districts surveyed, the highest mean % infestation of agromyzid fly during the pre-rooting stage was recorded in Gadag (22.40%) followed by Dharwad (19.63%) and Belagavi district (15.12%). During rooting stage, the highest mean % infestation of agromyzid fly was documented in Gadag (50.56%) followed by Belagavi district (48.09%) and Dharwad (46.56%). Gadag witnessed the highest % damage of the agromyzid fly during pre-rooting and rooting stages which might be due to year-round cultivation of carrot. Further, monocropping without crop rotation might have attributed to the highest incidence of insect pest of carrot. Sucking insect pests are of minor importance as compared to agromyzid fly, as it causes damage to edible taproot which is of economic importance in carrot cultivation.

Published: June 2024

Pesantren sebagai lembaga pendidikan yang tertua di Indonesia memiliki ciri khas yaitu adanya kajian kitab klasik atau lebih dikenal dengan kajian kitab kuning. Namun, seiring berjalannya waktu, sebahagian pesantren tidak lagi terfokus kepada kajian kitab kuning, melainkan para santri lebih dibekali dengan keterampilan-keterampilan khusus seperti bercocok tanam, berwirausaha, dan lain sebagainya. Hal ini tentunya menjadikan minat para santri terhadap kajian kitab kuning dapat menurun. Ditambah lagi dengan tidak adanya metode khusus yang lebih mudah dipahami oleh para santri dalam mempelajari kaedah-kaedah bahasa Arab. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan informasi tentang perkembangan pembelajaran yang ada dipesantren, khususnya yang terkaitdengan metode pembelajaran kajian kitab kuning. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan menjadikan pondok pesantren Annahdlah Makassar sebagai lokasi penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil temuan di lapangan, pondok pesantren Annahdlah Makassar membentuk kelas khusus atau program salafiyah sebagai salah satu upaya mempertahankan tradisi kajian kitab kuning. Kemudian pada pengembangan pembelajaran kajian kitab kuning, digunakan metode al-mifta>h} sebagai pegangan dasarnya. Artikel ini memberikan kontribusi penting bahwa metode al-mifta>h} ternyata memberikan kemudahan bagi para santri untuk memahami materi atau kaedah-kaedah bahasa arab (nahwu dan sharf ) yang menjadi syarat utama dalam memahami kitab kuning.
Tafsir Ayat-Ayat Ekologi Yusuf al-Qaradawi dan Seyyed Hossein Nasr
Authors: Idris Idris , Latifah Itsna
Published: June 2024

Ancaman krisis ekologi menjadi isu global. Hal ini menarik perhatian banyak intelektual untuk meresponnya. Di antara mereka yaitu Yu>suf al-Qarad}a>wi dan Seyyed Hossein Nasr yang merupakan tokoh intelektual muslim. Mereka mengupayakan jalan keluar dari ancaman krisis ekologi dengan mengembalikannya pada ayat-ayat al-Qurâ€™an. Oleh karena itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat lebih jauh bagaimana mereka berdua membaca ayat-ayat ekologi agar bisa berkontribusi dalam krisis ekologi. Penelitian ini menjawab beberapa rumusan masalah, yaitu: 1. Bagaimana konstruksi pemikiran Yu>suf al-Qarad}a>wi dan Seyyed Hossein Nasr terkait ekologi?, dan 2. Bagaimana penafsiran ayat ekologis perspektif Yu>suf al-Qarad}a>wi dan Seyyed Hossein Nasr?. Kajian ini merupakan sebuah penelitian kepustakaan (library research). Melalui metode analisis-komparatif dan  pendekatan ilmu ekologi, ditemukan  bahwa konstruksi pemikiran kedua tokoh memiliki persamaan terhadap cara pandang terhadap alam semesta sebagai ekosentrisme dan kedudukan manusia sebagai khali>fatulla>h untuk beribadah dan memakmurkan bumi. Sedangkan perbedaannya terdapat pada asumsi kedua tokoh terkait krisis ekologi serta konsep ekologi yang digagas oleh kedua tokoh. Dengan rusaknya moralitas, al-Qarad}a>wi memberikan gagasan eko-teologi dan Nasr memberikan gagasannya yaitu eko-sufisme. Dengan begitu al-Qarad}a>wi menyusun konsep eko-teologi berdasarkan ayat-ayat terentu pada tema-tema ri>â€™ayah al-bi>â€™ah. Sedangkan eko-sufisme Nasr berdasarkan ayat-ayat yang berbicara tentang ketuhanan. Dengan demikian, apabila gagasan kedua tokoh didialogkan dengan ayat-ayat lingkungan memberikan gagasan utuh terkait penjagaan keseimbangan lingkungan, menjaga keindahan alam semesta sebagai keagungan Tuhan, dan menjaga alam semesta dari segala kerusakan.

A voyage of discovery: From fulfilling funding criteria to revealing a clearer vision for music therapy in a special needs school
Authors: Cartwright Claire
Published: June 2024

In the era of the evidence-based practice (EBP) movement, music therapists are increasingly asked to provide evidence for funders. Often this has been the requirement to “evaluate existing services, or to justify the creation of new services with ‘appropriate’ evidence” (Pavlicevic, Ansdell, Procter & Hickey 2009: 3-4). Youth Music Initiative│Creative Scotland (YMI) awarded funds to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy in Scotland to support music therapy services for a number of schools in a local council area in Scotland. As part of this funding, they requested a service evaluation of one of these schools. The first part of this paper describes this evaluation (conducted in 2013) of the music therapy service in a school for pupils with complex needs. The evaluation aimed to assess the impact of music therapy on the pupils and the school and to ensure the quality of the service. The second part of the paper discusses the process of meeting an additional request from the funders which came after the completion of the evaluation. This time, all of the schools under the umbrella of this funding block were each asked to provide information to prove eligibility to access this funding to ensure funding renewal. Case studies and the evaluation findings are used to help illustrate how music therapy meets the funder’s goals. This process led to the development of a model for a continuum of music provision in the school. This paper aims to demonstrate how the funding journey not only ensured the continuance of music therapy but actually resulted in a clearer vision of the role of music therapy in the school.

Språk, land och kommunikativa mönster

Swedish is spoken both in Sweden and Finland, and Finland is a bilingual country with Swedish as a national language alongside Finnish. This makes it possible to explore the same language in two different societies, and two different languages in the same society. However, few comparative studies have been conducted with parallel datasets in both national languages of Finland. The project Communicative patterns in two languages in Finland therefore compares Finnish and Finland Swedish internally and to Sweden Swedish in similar institutional settings. In this article I present the research area of the project by discussing results from two pilot studies.
