Anxiety and Biofeedback in Higher Education: A Systematic Review
Authors:   Psychology Department, CIEP, University of Évora, Portugal, José Maria Fialho , Anabela Pereira ,   Psychology Department, CIEP, University of Évora, Portugal
Published: April 2024

Abstract College students tend to develop stress and anxiety disorders. Intervention through Biofeedback (BFB) has been shown to be effective in reducing these symptoms. This systematic review aims to analyze how anxiety and stress have been evaluated in BFB interventions in university students. PRISMA guidelines were used, where articles from 2018 to 2023 were selected from three different databases. Among the 281 articles found, 10 were selected and analyzed critically. The studies comprised samples ranging from 4 to 146 individuals, and where women tended to be in greater numbers. Subjective measurement instruments (self-report questionnaires) and psychophysiological measurements (BFB and analysis of salivary cortisol) were used in the studies. The results of this research indicate that the instruments most used by means of screening were the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI), used in the evaluation before and after the interventions. In the psychophysiological assessment, in addition to the BFB devices, one study used the analysis of salivary cortisol. Interventions with BFB in university students proved to be, in most cases, effective in reducing symptoms of stress and anxiety. Based on the above, greater emphasis should be placed on the development and evaluation of BFB programs at universities

Estudio de los efectos que tienen los programas madrileños de educación bilingüe sobre el rendimiento académico de los alumnos de primaria con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo
Authors: García Amaya Arigita
Published: April 2024

El análisis de los resultados de rendimiento alcanzado en el apartado “lengua a la que los alumnos están expuestos: vocabulario-temas” por los alumnos que finalizan el segundo curso de Educación Primaria pone de manifiesto que estos resultados se ajustan a lo dispuesto en la Orden 5958/20101 de la Comunidad de Madrid, en la que se establece que los alumnos que finalizan el primer ciclo de la etapa de Educación Primaria deben haber adquirido, en al menos una lengua extranjera, un nivel de competencia lingüística equivalente al nivel A1 del MCERL. Como cabría esperar, el nivel de competencia alcanzado es superior, en valores promedio, en el grupo de alumnos que no cuenta en su composición con alumnos con necesidades específicas de apoyo educativo.
Academic discourse markers: A contrastive analysis of the discourse marker then in English and Spanish lectures
Authors: Bellés-Fortuño Begoña
Published: April 2024

Este trabajo investiga ciertas características del discurso académico hablado, concretamente el género de la clase magistral en Inglés y Español. Algunos estudios sobre este género han analizado características lingüísticas como el uso de la interacción, los pronombres o la repetición (Crawford, 2004; Giménez, 2000; Morell 2000). El objetivo es analizar el uso y la función del marcador discursivo then y sus equivalencias en español. Un análisis contrastivo entre dos sub-corpora (doce clases magistrales en inglés y doce en español) ha demostrado que entonces y then son generalmente marcadores polisémicos. El análisis muestra que el marcador then en inglés no corresponde a una sola categoría semántica y pragmática al igual que ocurre en español con entonces. Por otra parte, aunque entonces y then se asumen como equivalentes para la traducción, los resultados revelan que entonces y then no son siempre equivalentes en el género de la clase magistral.

Auschwitz como universidad: La poesía y la ficción posdeportación y el regreso de Primo Levi
Authors: Chaffin Cheryl
Published: April 2024

Primo Levi señaló que su experiencia de un año de duración, desde su deportación enfebrero de 1944 hasta su liberación de Auschwitz en enero de 1945, fue el motivoprincipal de su necesidad de escribir. Levi llegó a decir que su experiencia en el campo detrabajo había sido una especie de universidad para él. Más allá de sus narrativasautobiográficas sobre los campos, principalmente en Si esto es un hombre (Se questo è unuomo) y La tregua, Levi escribió dos novelas, varios cuentos, poemas y ensayos. Estostrabajos demuestran el alcance de lo que el escritor exploró mientras ponía por escrito surelación con el mundo y con la naturaleza humana tras su liberación de Auschwitz. En esteartículo, tengo en cuenta qué conocimiento extrajo Levi de los campos, algo que desarrollódurante las cuatro décadas restantes de su vida, al igual que cómo esas apreciaciones sereflejaron en su escritura. En concreto, este análisis se centra en las relaciones en la obrade Levi –entre la gente y en la respuesta de uno mismo frente al mundo– y suconocimiento y observación relativa a la intimidad y al conflicto durante y después de laguerra.

Tarihin Sonunu 30 Yıl Geçe
Authors: Ateş Oral
Published: April 2024

Soğuk Savaş yıllarının ardından önde gelen birçok siyaset uzmanı dünyanın nereye gittiği hususunu “teorileştirme” görevini ele almaya başlamıştır. Bu çalışmalardan biri Francis Fukuyama tarafından ortaya atılan “Tarihin Sonu mu? Adlı teoridir. Varşova Paktı’nın geçerliliğini kaybetmeye başladığı bir dönemde ortaya atılan bu teori, dünya çapında tartışılmış, karşı teoriler geliştirilmiş, lehte ve aleyhte makaleler kaleme alınmıştır. Fukuyama ise makalesinde kaleme aldığı teorisini sonra çıkardığı kitabında bir kez daha değerlendirmiştir. Tarihin Sonu mu? Tezi, genel anlamda “Batının zaferi” ile sonuçlanan tarihsel bir süreçten, ideoloji-lerin çöküşünden söz etmektedir. Fukuyama, Batı genelinde Amerika özelinde liberal demokrasiyle insanlığın ulaşabileceği en son noktaya ulaştığını, bundan sonra insanların yapacakları pek bir şey kalmadığını, liberalizmin çözemediği veya çözemeyeceği hiçbir meseleyi çözebilecek ideoloji olmadığını ve artık tarihin sonunun geldiğini iddia etmektedir. Teorinin üzerinden geçen 30 yıllık süreçte liberal demokrasinin bir dizi yaşanan özgürlükten eşitliğe, çevreden sağlığa, güvenlikten yoksulluğa, iç savaşlardan terör saldırılarına kadar tüm dünyanın sorunlarını çözemediği ve nihai sonun gelmediği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada; Tarihin Sonu mu? Teorisinin öne sürülmesinden günümüze kadar yaşadığımız süreçte teoriyle ilgili yapılan tartışmalar dünyada yaşanan önemli olaylarla beraber değerlendirilecektir. Fukuyama’nın öne sürdüğü gibi tarihin sonuna gelinip gelinmediği, Liberalizmin toplum üyelerine maddi refah temin etme ve tüketim isteğini karşılama, eşi görülmemiş bir zenginlik yaratıp özgür insan modelini oluşturabilmesi ile Fukuyama’nın ileri sürdüğü iddiaların ne kadarının gerçekleştiğini de açıklayarak Fukuyama’nın aslında neyi amaçladığı analiz edilecektir.
Nachhaltiges Konsumieren im Anthropozän
Authors: Lamla Jörn
Published: April 2024

Der Beitrag versucht mittels soziologischer Theorieperspektiven auf das Verhältnis von Konflikt und Konsum zu zeigen, warum nachhaltiges Konsumieren in den marktförmigen Strukturen der modernen Konsumgesellschaft schwer zu realisieren ist. Auch wenn die Praktiken des Konsums nicht in direkter Abhängigkeit zu den Wachstumsimperativen des kapitalistischen Staates stehen, sondern die autonome Lebenspraxis taktische oder konsumkritische Haltungen entwickeln kann, bestätigen und bekräftigen die habituellen Dispositionen dieser Praxis oft unbemerkt eine produktivistische Konsumkultur. Erst Irritationen durch eine anthropologische Blickverschiebung, die das Konsumieren aus der produktivistischen Umklammerung herauslöst und als eigenständige Sphäre der unproduktiven Verausgabung und der sozio-materiellen Beziehungspflege erkennbar macht, eröffnen neue demokratische Experimentierräume für das nachhaltige Konsumieren im Anthropozän.

Published: April 2024

Background: Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is an imaging technique widely used in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Despite its disadvantages and potential risks, the overuse of CTPA has been a growing concern over the past decades. Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the rate of avoidable overuse of CTPA in patients with suspected PTE and to identify factors contributing to this overuse. The study aimed to highlight the importance of proper training for physicians in using validated diagnostic algorithms to minimize the overuse of CTPA and improve patient outcomes. Methods: In a cross-sectional study conducted between April 2016 and March 2019 at Shariati Hospital at Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS), 1058 patients underwent CTPA due to suspected PTE. Wells scores were calculated retrospectively for all patients. The study defined avoidable overuse of CTPA as an imaging request without prior D-dimer testing or ignoring a negative D-dimer result in patients with low clinical pre-test probability. Results: Two hundred and seventy-three patients were excluded from the study due to unavailable documentation or pregnancy. Among the included 785 patients, 139 (17.7%) revealed PTE on CTPA. Based on the Wells scores, 480 patients were identified as the “PTE-unlikely” group. In this group, 299 patients (62.3%) underwent CTPA directly despite recommendations to order a D-dimer test first. Of these patients, 281 (94%) cases showed negative results. Moreover, CTPA was performed inappropriately in 52 “PTE-unlikely” cases despite negative D-dimer serum levels, and only one patient was diagnosed with PTE. Conclusions: The study revealed that 44.7% of the CTPA requests for patients with suspected PTE were avoidable, indicating the need for better adherence to current diagnostic guidelines to reduce unnecessary radiologic investigations and improve patient care.
Pelanggaran Prinsip-Prinsip Hukum Humaniter Internasional dalam Agresi Militer Israel ke Palestina
Authors: Pratiwi Nurlita
Published: April 2024

Hukum Humaniter Internasional diciptakan untuk mencegah perang yang tidak berperikemanusiaan. Salah satu hal yang dibahas dalam Hukum ini adalah mengenai prinsip-prinsip dalam Hukum Humaniter Internasional semacam norma yang berasal dari kebiasaan-kebiasaan yang dilakukan oleh negara-negara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode hukum normatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder, dan pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun hukum ini dirancang untuk membuat perang lebih manusiawi, kenyataannya masih ada pelanggaran dalam pelaksanaannya. Salah satunya adalah konflik antara Israel dan Palestina. Dalam agresi militer yang dilakukan oleh Israel, terbukti telah melanggar prinsip-prinsip Hukum Humaniter Internasional, seperti larangan menimbulkan penderitaan yang tidak seharusnya, prinsip pembeda, prinsip kepentingan, dan prinsip kemanusiaan. Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan agresi militer oleh Israel telah terbukti tidak menaati prinsip-prinsip yang ada didalam Hukum Humaniter Internasional yang meliputi prinsip melarang mengakibatkan penderitaan yang tidak seharusnya, prinsip pembedaan, prinsip kemanusiaan, prinsip kepentingan, dan prinsip kemanusiaan yang dilihat dari penyerangan oleh Israel dinilai sudah melewati batas kemanusiaan karena serangan tersebut seakan-akan bertujuan untuk menghapus eksistensi dari warga Palestina itu sendiri.
Philosophy as Teacher and Pupil
Authors: Corona Marial ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2024

If philosophy is to be faithful to her calling to serve truth and humankind, she must remain a pupil, open to the enrichment that other sciences bestow on her. This paper highlights some insights from J. H. Newman and C. S. Peirce that can shed light on our understanding of philosophy as a servant to the truth. Newman and Peirce are suitable guides for this discussion since both cultivated their intellect in various disciplines, which informed their philosophical contributions. It begins by exploring how Newman and Peirce conceived philosophy as a science. Then, it discusses their views on the unity of science, which further qualify their thoughts on philosophy. Finally, it enounces some consequences for the study of philosophy which their contributions suggest. Among many others, Newman and Peirce stand out as courageous defenders of the truth and have much to contribute to the timeless conversation of philosophy.
Generating General Duties from the Universalizability Tests
Authors: Kahn Samuel ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2024

In this paper, I argue that Kant gives a philosophically plausible derivation of the general duty of benevolence and that this derivation can be used to show how to derive other general duties of commission with the universalizability tests.The paper is divided into four sections. In the first, I explain Kant’s notion of a general duty. In the second, I introduce the universalizability tests. In the third, I examine and argue against an account in the secondary literature of how to derive general duties from these tests. In the fourth, I look at Kant’s derivation of the duty of benevolence in the Metaphysics of Morals, and I suggest how this reasoning can be extended to other duties.
Goldschmidt and Yiddish Anarchism
Authors: Karlović Roman , Bojanić Peter ,   DePaul University
Published: April 2024

While Hermann Levin Goldschmidt didn’t read Yiddish anarchists, there seems to have been a convergent evolution in their thinking. Goldschmidt’s looking up to Jewish lore as a source of liberating creativity is commonly encountered in Yiddish anarchist texts. His view of action as a constant response to internal and external challenges in the struggle for an open future is developed by Isaac Nachman Steinberg on the basis of nineteenth-century vitalism. Goldschmidt’s theory of anarchist individualism as willed self-limiting solidarity has a compelling parallel in Hillel Solotaroff’s view of history. His use of impressionism and photography to eternalize the immediacy of human actuality is akin to Rudolf Rocker’s championing of decadent literature. In both cases, the goal of anarchism is not a dictatorship of the former downtrodden, but a continuous and contradictory evolution of freedom in ever-changing contexts.

The Sunjatta legend of the Malinke people
Authors: Koate Kieba
Published: April 2024

Introduction to, analysis of and text of an oral narrative of Sunjata by Kieba Koate, a griot from Guinea recorded by Leo Frobenius in c.1907 and published in German in 1913/1925. Koate's detailed and accomplished narrative is discussed, as is its collector, a controversial but highly influential ethnographer, who was lionised by Negritude authors like Senghor but later criticised for speculative theories and apparently shoddy fieldwork. In respect of the treatment of this narrative, the editors are more complimentary, noting much of the negative evaluation of Frobenius' fieldwork techniques came from a later, more professional era of anthropology.
Sundiata Keita, historical and legendary hero, emperor of the Manding
Authors: Sidibé Mamby
Published: April 2024

Introduction to, analysis of and text of an oral narrative of Sunjata written in French in 1937 by Mamby Sidibé of Kita based on griot narratives from his local town (griot Bolin Jigi Diabate is often claimed as a major source), published in 1959. Mamby Sidibé became one of the Republic of Mali's leading intellectuals. He was trained as a schoolteacher at Ecole William Ponty, practised ethnography, researched and wrote local history, campaigned for independence, and served as a politician and later a cultural advisor to the Malian government. His account of the Sunjata epic is one of the first and most balanced and sophisticated treatments of Sunjata as a performance tradition and historical source.
The Magic Arrow
Authors: Guillot René
Published: April 2024

Introduction to, analysis of and text of a short story for young readers based loosely upon the Sunjata epic written by French children's author René Guillot and published in 1950. Guillot was a schoolteacher in Dakar and drew inspiration for many of his short stories - often focused on the relationship between a youngster and an animal - from the legends and folktales of West Africa. While some aspects of his retelling are replete with colonialist clichés, his account of the epic is another demonstration of the use of the epic of Sunjata in education of the young.

This study explores the potential effects of de-risking from China on global economic growth and trade patterns, shedding light on the main drivers behind this trend and its macroeconomic implications. By analyzing the challenges and opportunities associated with diversifying supply chains away from China, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and stakeholders. The study identifies key factors driving de-risking, including bureaucratic restrictions, global economic shifts, customer demands, the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical stability, and national security concerns. While there are logistical, financial, regulatory, operational, and strategic challenges, there are also opportunities for improving economic growth, competitiveness, resilience, sustainability, innovation, and social development. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the complexities of supply chain diversification and its impacts on the global economy. Future research could explore the long-term impacts of de-risking on global trade dynamics and investigate the role of digital technologies and innovation in shaping new supply chain strategies.

Road safety analysis refers to thoroughly examining roads and general transportation infrastructure using various analytical methods. It usually involves a multidisciplinary team with the local governing body and other stakeholders to check for potential safety issues and bring improvements within the same. The purpose of this review paper is to study the causes of road accidents and identify the active blackspots present in Raipur city. The goal is to prevent accidents by making sure road infrastructure is designed and optimised for safety and efficiency. According to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), Government of India, road accident blackspot on National Highways is a road stretch of about 500m in length in which either 5 road accidents (involving fatalities/grievous injuries) took place during the last three calendar years or 10 fatalities took place during the last three calendar years. Through detailed study and analysis, one can surmise that Road Safety Analysis can be easily broken down to factors such as types of road users, presence of traffic calming devices, weather conditions, whether users possess a driver’s licence and much more. Furthermore, it is important to address the deficiency and failure of one or more elements in road infrastructures to curb the issue of road accidents by understanding the data obtained accordingly. Key Word: Road accidents, Blackspots, Road Safety Analysis

Published: April 2024

This paper explores the feasibility and benefits of utilizing waste rubber tyre for soil stabilization purpose.With the growing environmental concern surrounding waste tyre disposal, repurposing them for soil stabilization presents a sustainable solution. Added amount of rubber tyre had been varied in proportions of 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%.Waste rubber tyre helps in improving the desired properties of soil and minimizes the amount of waste to be deposited in environment causing environmental pollution. Rubber tyres are cost effective and is quite easily available, due to day by day increase in cost of stabilizers like cement, lime and other admixtures;use of shredded rubber tyre can result in project completion optimally. The soil sample used is clay, thus being highly plastic it is required to be strengthened by using varying proportion of shredded rubber tyre. The effect of shredded rubber tyre on soil is analysed by conducting various tests that governs the basic properties of soil and the obtained result shows that increasing the percentage of shredded rubber tyre results in enhancement in desired soil properties.Increase specific gravity, increase liquid limit, and decrease plastic limit are achieved through the incorporation of appropriate additives in soil stabilization processes. Key Word: Waste rubber tyre, Soil stabilization, Tyre recycling, shredded rubber tyre, Engineering properties, clay soil.

Authors:   Hanoi School of Business and Management, Vietnam National University, Hano, Nguyễn Duy Thành , Đào Đức Trung ,   Thang Long University, Vietnam
Published: April 2024

This research analyzes the impact of corporate social responsibility with the characteristic of enterprise size (in terms of the numbers of employees) on work motivation of 446 employees working for 38 ICT enterprises in Hanoi. The Structural Equation Modeling was applied in both unidimensional and multidimensional methods with data collected in the period from January 2023 to April 2023. The SEM estimation results indicate that corporate social responsibility has a positive impact on work motivation, in addition, legal responsibility has the strongest impact. Simultaneously, the size of the enterprise also has an effect on work motivation. Besides, the bigger the size of the enterprise is, the more strongly corporate social responsibility tends to affect. Since then, suggestions have been made to promote the work motivation of employee in the ICT industry through strengthening CSR activities.

Authors:   Ho Chi Minh University of Banking, Hạ Thị Thiều Dao , Lê Chí Minh ,   Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development - Binh Duong Branch
Published: April 2024

Climate change is happening rapidly and poses a significant risk to the global economy. International organizations have issued many regulations to manage and supervise climate-related financial risk (CRFR) to ensure the financial system’s safety. This paper uses the content analysis method to evaluate the CRFR monitoring framework of the State Bank of Vietnam compared with the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The results show that the CRFR supervision framework in Vietnam is still under development; the regulations and guidelines are not specific and not yet in line with the international framework, such as not clearly defining the responsibilities of senior management in CRFR monitoring, not providing guidance on the implementation, evaluation, and monitoring of the results of scenario analysis and stress testing on the resilience of banks to climate change, not clearly announcing the monitoring objectives and improving the quality of supervisors, and not requiring financial institutions to disclose information related to CRFR.

One of the most widespread interpretations of the mass-energy equivalence establishes that not only can mass be transformed into energy (e.g., through nuclear fission, fusion, or annihilation) but that every type of energy also has mass (via the mass-energy equivalence formula). Here, we show that this is not always the case. With the help a few thought experiments, we show that, for instance, the electric potential energy of a charged capacitor should not contribute to the capacitor’s gravitational rest mass (while still contributing to its linear momentum). That result is in agreement with the fact that light (ultimately, an electromagnetic phenomenon) has momentum but not rest mass.

La implementación de medidas de seguridad y salud en el trabajo no sólo mejora la calidad de vida del trabajador sino que también aumenta la productividad y reduce el costo asociados con los accidentes y enfermedades laborales. El objetivo de este artículo es delinear la importancia de la gestión de seguridad y salud en los gobiernos locales en relación con la gestión, la participación de los trabajadores y las normas. La metodología se basó en el enunciado PRISMA, se seleccionaron 24 artículos y se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos SCOPUS y WEB OF SCIENCE entre los años 2020 y 2023. Los resultados demuestran que la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo es un proceso integral encaminado a salvaguardar el bienestar físico, mental y social de los trabajadores mediante la prevención, eliminación, minimización y control de los riesgos laborales. La participación activa de los trabajadores permite una identificación y control más efectivos de los riesgos. Por ello, la normativa es fundamental ya que establece los requisitos y principios que los empleadores deben seguir para garantizar la seguridad y salud de sus trabajadores. En conclusión, la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo en los gobiernos locales es importante como un proceso integral dirigido a proteger el bienestar de los trabajadores mediante la implementación de políticas, programas y procedimientos para garantizar un ambiente de trabajo seguro y saludable.

Penelitian ilmiah bertujuan untuk memecahkan setiap permasalahan dalam kehidupan manusia. Namun tak sedikit penelitian ilmiah kurang memberikan dampak pada persoalan-persoalan riil hidup manusia. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi karena prosedur penelitian yang dilakukan kurang mendalam dan bukan berdasarkan analisis masalah. Pendekatan penelitian kualitatif merupakan salah satu alternatif jawaban untuk menemukan solusi dan kebenaran ilmiah. Pendekatan penelitian kualitatif menekankan pada kedalaman pemahaman terhadap masalah sosial yang dihadapi manusia. Data penelitian disajikan secara deskriptif atau naratif dengan menekankan pada kemampuan pemahaman dan kemampuan interpretasi terhadap fenomena sosial. Teknik pengumpulan data kualitatif dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, studi dokumentasi dan forum group discussion. Analisis data kualitatif meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil kajian terhadap literatur menunjukkan bahwa metode penelitian kualitatif memiliki konsep deskriptif-naratif, bersifat holistik dan mendalam, fleksibel dan interpretatif, menekankan pada pemaknaan dan proses aktivitas partisipan, terstruktur dan berkelanjutan, dan menghargai aneka sudut pandang yang beragam.

Constructing semi-arid ecological barriers to prevent desertification
Authors: Guan Xiaodan , Huang Jianping
Published: April 2024

Semi-arid regions worldwide face escalating challenges, including water resource shortages, ecological fragility, and relentless expansion of desertification. Here, we propose the establishment of a worldwide Semi-arid Ecological Barrier (SAEB) as a proactive measure in response to these challenges to curtail desertification and alleviate extreme events. Beyond its immediate benefits, the SAEB holds significant promise for future global carbon control efforts. This perspective offers a case study exemplifying the principles of ecological civilization, focusing on preventing desertification in the Yellow River Basin. Policy of ecological recover, such as the ��Grain for Green�� project in China, has shown to be effective in strengthening the SAEB. It contributes valuable insights into innovative strategies for addressing water scarcity, ecological fragility, and desertification expansion.

Technological changes affect various aspects of human life and daily activities. Technological advances can make the intensity of human perception comprehensive; the benefits, risks, and convenience felt when shopping online will certainly influence intentions. This research aims to analyse perceived benefits, perceived risks, perceived ease of use, and consumer innovation adoption on online shopping intentions simultaneously and partially. The population in this study consisted of people who had or were currently shopping online. The sample for this research consisted of 388 respondents. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling using the purposive sampling method. Primary data by distributing questionnaires to potential consumer respondents. The analysis techniques used are instrument tests, multiple linear regression, the F test, the t test, and the coefficient of determination. The research results show that perceived benefits, perceived risks, perceived ease of use, and consumer innovation adoption simultaneously and partially influence online shopping intentions. Consumers are expected to know their rights and obligations in terms of protection and do not need to hesitate to report the risks they receive when shopping online.
In Prosperous Sweden…
Authors: Podlevskikh Carlström Malin
Published: April 2024

Based on a corpus of 203 reviews published in Russian newspapers and periodicals between 2000 and 2021, this article investigates the image of Sweden in the Russian reception of Swedish crime novels. The analysis aims to answer the following research questions: 1) How are Sweden and Swedes described in Russian reviews of Swedish crime fiction in 2000–2021? 2) Is there any indication of the novel reviewed having influenced the critic’s perception of Sweden? Swedish crime fiction is a popular genre in Russia, and constitutes as much as 63% of all translated Swedish prose fiction published in Russia between 2010 and 2021, which makes this a highly relevant inquiry. The thematic analysis of the reviews revealed that previously established positive images of Sweden are often used ironically, in contrast to the gruesome crimes described in the novels. Furthermore, several reviews indicate that the novel reviewed had an impact on the critic’s view on Sweden. Additionally, some reviews display ideological interpretations, indicating that western values are to blame for the situations described in the novels. Based on the analysis, it seems that Swedish crime fiction does impact the image of Sweden in Russia, which might be problematic given the genre's popularity.
Auto-hemoterapia como tratamento profilático em procedimento cirúrgico e em pacientes com dermatopatias – uma revisão
Authors: Pereira Sóstenes Arthur Reis Santos , Santos José Mykael da Silva
Published: April 2024

A auto-hemoterapia é uma técnica terapêutica que vem sendo utilizada com maior frequência na medicina veterinária e tem proporcionado resultados clínicos positivos no tratamento de diversas patologias; é um procedimento antigo, baseado no empirismo, que consiste na aplicação de sangue autólogo, por via intramuscular, objetivando estimular o sistema imunológico. A técnica força o corpo a reconhecer o seu próprio sangue como antígenos que causam alterações localizadas ou sistêmicas na epiderme, derme, e, possivelmente, até mesmo a hipoderme, - camada mais profunda desse órgão. Isso ativa o sistema imunológico adaptativo do corpo e as células de defesa, como leucócitos e monócitos. Na medicina veterinária a auto-hemoterapia vem apresentando resultados clínicos promissores no tratamento de diversas doenças, tornando interessante pesquisar sua capacidade de limitar a proliferação microbiana.
