Transference-focused psychotherapy in an inpatient setting for borderline personality disorders: changes in symptomatology
Authors: Abel Torvi , Happel Moritz , Daerr Franca , Spitzer Carsten , Benecke Cord , Dulz Birger
Published: January 2025

This prospective, naturalistic, longitudinal study examined changes in borderline-specific symptoms in a six-month, manualbased transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) inpatient treatment for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) in comparison to a waitlist control group. 74 patients with BPD received TFP in a multi-professional inpatient setting, of whom 27 patients represented the waitlist control group. 31 patients completed six months of treatment. Borderline-specific symptoms were measured by means of the Borderline Symptom List (BSL- 23) prior to treatment (waitlist control group), at the beginning, after 3 months, and at the end of it. BSL-23 scores decreased significantly from the beginning to the end of the six-month inpatient therapy program with a medium effect size of d=0.54. There was no change in symptoms for the waitlist control group. Our findings suggest that inpatient TFP is effective in terms of the reduction of borderline-specific symptoms. In terms of this, the duration of the treatment seems to be a meaningful factor. Further research will investigate changes in specific psychodynamic aspects as well as in the follow-up measurement.

Background: Tear deficient dry eye is a condition of insufficient tear production and may cause discomfort and visual disturbances, and if untreated, may cause ocular surface damage. While various treatment options have been explored and are available, these are usually costly and invasive.Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of water consumption on the aqueous layer of the tear film.Setting: University of KwaZulu-Natal Eye Clinic.Methods: A quantitative experimental design was implemented on 85 healthy participants of both genders aged between 18 and 34 years old. Pre-screening procedures, followed by baseline Schirmer 1 readings were obtained on all participants. The participants thereafter consumed water in relation to their body mass. Schirmer 1 test was re-administered at time intervals of 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after water consumption.Results: The mean baseline Schirmer 1 result prior to water consumption was 9.95 mm ± 4.52 mm. The mean Schirmer 1 results, at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min, following water consumption were 14.56 ± 5.82, 16.82 ± 5.44, 13.49 ± 4.82 and 11.54 mm ± 4.22 mm, respectively with a P-value of 0.000.Conclusion: This study showed that water consumption has a statistically significant increase on the aqueous tear volume.Contribution: Water consumption has been shown to increase aqueous tear production and may serve as a more affordable option to reduce dry eye symptoms.

Published: January 2025

Background: The Participation Measurement Scale (PM-Scale) is an International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-based and Rasch-built scale developed specifically to assess participation in people with stroke.Objectives: Our study aimed to estimate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the PM-Scale.Method: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the ‘Circuit walking, balance, cycling and strength training’ trial. Participants underwent mixed and collective physical activities or sociocultural activities for 12 weeks, and participation data were collected before and after the interventions. The activity limitations (ACTIVLIM)-Stroke scale was used as the anchor of importance. The MCID for the PM-Scale was estimated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the Youden index.Results: Data were collected from 46 people with chronic stroke, of which 22% were female, with median (Percentile 25, Percentile 75) age of 54 (44; 60) years, and time since stroke is 24 (11; 37) months. For all participants, the PM-Scale measures range from –2.98 logits to 5.02 logits. The area under the curve (AUC) for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)-analysis was 0.74 yielding an estimated MCID of 1.98 logit for the PM-Scale.Conclusion: Our study estimated the MCID of the PM-Scale at 1.98 logit, enabling a more precise interpretation of the outcome in the clinical and research settings.Clinical implications: An improvement of at least 1.98 logit on the PM-Scale is required to induce a clinical change in the independence in activities of daily living in people with chronic stroke.
Векторные поля на нульмерных полных пересечениях
Authors: Aleksandrov Aleksandr Grigor'evich
Published: January 2025

В статье изучаются дифференцирования локальных артиновых алгебр, которые являются полными пересечениями. Основной результат - это доказательство гипотезы, опубликованной автором в 1991 году, в которой утверждается, что на ростках нульмерных взвешенно-однородных полных пересечений не существует векторных полей отрицательного веса. В доказательстве важную роль играет малоизвестное утверждение о том, что каноническое примарное разложение любого инвариантного относительно дифференцирования идеала также инвариантно.

The phylogeographic inference approach aims to connect genomic data with epidemiology to understand the spread and evolution of pathogens using visualization of spatiotemporal reconstructions. Orthohantavirus hantanense (HTNV), the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), represents a significant global public health concern. Here, we introduce a localized Nextstrain platform for HTNV, offering a comprehensive resource for facilitating spatiotemporal genomic surveillance and the study of evolutionary dynamics of viral genomes. Nextstrain enables web-based visualization and simple sharing of graphic and numeric data through unique web addresses. The Nextstrain build for HTNV stands out for its user-friendly interface and is readily accessible online at https://nextstrain.org/community/KU-MV/Hantavirus. This study provides valuable insights into genomic surveillance, viral phylodynamics, and the evolutionary history of orthohantaviruses for the development of public health policies against endemic HFRS outbreaks.
Pomembnost realistične evalvacije

Frequent grammar errors in standard Slovene include using an incorrect grammatical conjugation or number. Using the large language model SloBERTa, we have developed a new methodology for the machine detection of such problems and tested it on incorrect use of the accusative instead of the genitive case and the plural instead of the dual. We applied standard natural language processing tools for Slovenian to evaluate and modify word forms in the input sentences, such as morphosyntactic tagger CLASSLA-Stanza and Slovenian word form lexicon Sloleks. The proposed corrections are based on word form statistics when using masked word prediction with a large language model. Due to the lack of sufficient training data, we trained the prediction models on synthetically generated errors. We first evaluated the performance of machine correction on synthetic data and the Lektor corpus, and later on a newly developed evaluation dataset Šolar-Eval. The evaluation on the first two datasets showed the excellent performance of the developed methodology (more than 90% of detected synthetically introduced errors), while with Šolar-Eval it had a far worse performance (only 29.5% of the problems with the genitive-accusative grammatical case were detected, and just 11.4% of those with the dual-plural grammatical number). Overall, the results show the danger of overfitting to datasets and the importance of evaluating on purposefully designed authentic datasets, which are still rare for Slovene.
(Nie)przekładalność: ekwiwalenty terminów technicznych na przykładzie chińskiego tłumaczenia Prawieku i innych czasów Olgi Tokarczuk
Authors: Fludra Zuzanna
Published: January 2025

Untranslatability is defined as an inability to express a text in a target language so that it evokes identical or similar associations as in the source language. It has often been claimed that technical terms, such as the names of food, money units, and clothing, are untranslatable. This article argues that even technical terms can be translated from one language to another. It aims to identify the translation strategies and equivalents used by Yi Lijun and Yuan Hanrong to translate the names of dishes, food products, beverages, and vegetation into Chinese in the translation of Olga Tokarczuk’s Primeval and Other Times. I show that technical terms can be translated using functional equivalents, word-to-word equivalents, description, phonetic adaptation, and omission. What is more, some of the equivalents used in the translation are incorrect. This article contributes to research on literary translation from Polish into Chinese. Also, it suggests what strategies should be used properly to translate technical terms.

Antipolitics as a Challenge to Political Parties
Authors: Spasojević Dušan
Published: January 2025

The contemporary crisis of democracy is often perceived as a crisis of representation, as there is a growing gap between citizens and political parties, a lack of trust in institutions, and citizens are disengaging from political processes. These trends can also be perceived as a consequence of antipolitical narratives. Antipolitics is understood as opposition to and/or distrust of traditional politics and as an attempt to end traditional ways of politics, usually from technocratic and populist positions and civil society. By observing different forms of antipolitics and their synergetic effects, this paper investigates challenges to political parties caused by antipolitical positions and actors. Established political parties respond to antipolitical challenges by changing their position to state and civil society and adapting their ideological position and organizational structures to be more responsive to citizens. These changes aim to bridge the gap between citizens and representatives, bring citizens back into institutional politics, and increase participation and trust.
Decidability of One-Clock Weighted Timed Games with Arbitrary Weights
Authors: Monmege Benjamin , Parreaux Julie , Reynier Pierre-Alain
Published: January 2025

Weighted Timed Games (WTG for short) are the most widely used model to describe controller synthesis problems involving real-time issues. Unfortunately, they are notoriously difficult, and undecidable in general. As a consequence, one-clock WTGs have attracted a lot of attention, especially because they are known to be decidable when only non-negative weights are allowed. However, when arbitrary weights are considered, despite several recent works, their decidability status was still unknown. In this paper, we solve this problem positively and show that the value function can be computed in exponential time (if weights are encoded in unary).

Published: January 2025

Sleep is a complex physiological phenomenon crucial for health. Despite this, millions suffer from sleep disorders, contributing to a range of health issues, particularly cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The pathophysiological mechanisms linking sleep disorders, such as insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), to cardiovascular risk factors include disruptions in inflammatory, autonomic, and metabolic pathways. Increased sympathetic nervous system activity, chronic inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation stemming from poor sleep can lead to conditions like hypertension, obesity, and insulin resistance, significantly elevating the risk for CVD. This article reviews the connection between sleep quality and cardiovascular disease risks. Sleep disorders (i.e., insomnia and OSA) have been found to impact cardiovascular risk factors adversely. Studies have found an association between abnormal sleep and increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality by higher risks of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia. The review also discusses non-pharmacological interventions, such as relaxation training, Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), and red-light therapy, which have shown efficacy in improving sleep quality and reducing cardiovascular risks. Dual orexin receptor antagonists and Ashwagandha promise to enhance sleep quality and cardiovascular health, but further research is needed. Addressing sleep disorders and promoting healthy sleep practices are essential for mitigating the global burden of cardiovascular diseases, underscoring the need for continued research and effective public health interventions.

Authors: Triapnita Nainggolan Nana , Ekana Nainggolan Lora , Lie Darwin
Published: January 2025

E-commerce is an extraordinary example of an online market product that is a breakthrough for people in buying and selling activities, with a wider reach. Digital enables transactions and processes within a company, involving information systems under the control of the company. The role of social media also contributes to encouraging consumers to shop in E-commerce. Various promos and advertisements as a form of marketing strategy offered have an impact on people's interest in online shopping. With these various promos and advertisements, there is a contest to attract buyers. However, the level of public satisfaction with marketing on Shopee is not optimal, where the level of consumer trust in business owners is still low. This research aims to explain the relationship and influence of innovation in driving marketing strategies to improve the performance of business actors on Shopee. This study uses a quantitative descriptive technique with an exploratory survey approach for this study. The data used was sourced from offline surveys. The sample of this study is all Shopee Pematang Siantar E-commerce users who are classified as millennials totaling 99 people. This non-probability purposive sampling technique was chosen because there are no statistics that determine the size of the population. The data analysis technique used is the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model used. Hypothesis testing was carried out with the results of innovation  affecting marketing strategies, the second hypothesis was marketing strategies affecting the performance of business actors, The original sample value was positive which showed that the direction of the relationship between marketing strategies and the performance of business actors was positive, so it could be concluded that the second hypothesis was accepted. The marketing strategies implemented by Shopee in improving the company's performance are still not optimal. It is recommended that the selection of suppliers in providing products on Shopee is more selective so that the quality of the product, product variety and content in the application are in accordance with what is displayed. For the provision of discounts in the product distribution process to consumers so that it is clearly informed to each consumer account so that there is no misperception. Innovation needs to be improved by Shopee in terms of other payment services such as payments for the use of transportation services. So that consumers who have the SPayLater application can make their payments more conveniently. Shopee's performance still needs to be improved through the addition of suppliers from outside Indonesia so that consumers in Indonesia who want products from abroad can make purchases on the Shopee application so that the number of consumer purchases will increase.

The study demonstrates that the degree of heating in the welding thermal cycle affects the process of metal structure formation in the heat affected zone (HAZ) of welded joints in carbon steels. During the heating phase, metal grains are formed, and their sizes are determined. Here, as the α→γ transformation is completed, the level of austenite homogeneity, its resistance during cooling, and the inertia period of decomposition are determined, which influence the kinetics of structural transformations in the cooling phase. Thus, the formation of the metal structure in the HAZ begins during the heating phase, within the intercritical interval Ac1‒Ac3. The cooling phase completes this process with the decomposition of austenite. The impact of heating rates on the structure formation process in the metal is considered. It is shown that with the increase in the heating rate of the welded joint, the positive effect on the kinetics of the supercooled austenite decomposition gradually increases, despite the negative impact of the increased cooling rate. Accordingly, it is shown that the heating phase of the welding thermal cycle has a dominant influence on the kinetics
of metal structure formation in the HAZ of welded joints.

Sustainable joining technologies are important manufacturing processes for the production of high-quality joints of electrical connections. High-quality connections must have high electrical and thermal conductivity to reduce energy losses during their lifetime, they must have high mechanical properties to achieve a long service life, and they must be manufactured with lower energy consumption. In this article, the properties of solid wire electrical contacts produced by ultrasonic welding and soldering were compared. Ultrasonic welding of thin solid copper wires was performed with a copper ring. A particular focus of this study is on the energy used to produce these joints. The research included electrical resistance, peel strength and tensile strength tests, The results of the electrical resistance showed similar electrical resistance between the two processes. The result of mechanical strength shows that ultrasonic joints achieved higher mechanical strength. The most important result is that ultrasonic welding consumed only 11% of the energy to produce the joint compared to soldered joints.

The first industrial robots appeared in the production processes of the 60s of the last century, and they are implemented to this day in all production processes in the world. The biggest application of industrial robots has been found in three industries in the world: the automotive industry, the electrical/electronic industry and the metal industry. The automotive industry is the first to implement the most industrial robots, and in recent years the electrical/electronics industry has also joined in, as these two industries in the world implement more than 60% of the total industrial robots implemented in the world. The use of industrial robots has been used to perform those tasks that are tiring and hazardous to the health of workers, which include welding, and the performance of these operations is mostly n the automotive industry. To date, the most implemented industrial robots of the first generation, which are robustly surrounded by fences (for the protection of workers), take up a lot of space and are complicated to reprogram. Development of new technologies such as: sensor technology, Internet of Things (IoT), big data, „cloud computing“, virtual and augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), advanced security systems and others is
credited with the development of robotic technology. In this paper is shown the trend of implementing industrial robots and their role in the welding process.

Обмін і репатріація військовополонених інвалідів та хворих на східному фронті під час Першої світової війни

Метою роботи є окреслення процесу обміну та репатріації полонених інвалідів та хворих між Російською імперією, з одного боку, та Центральними державами (Австро-Угорщина й Німеччина), з іншого боку, впродовж 1914-1918 рр. Методологія дослідження передбачає застосування загальнонаукових та історичних принципів та методів наукового дослідження: аналізу і синтезу, проблемно-хронологічного, історичного, історико-генетичного та історико-системного методів. Наукова новизна полягає у зверненні до практично недослідженої в українській історіографії теми, а також уведенні до наукового обігу низки джерел, які у сукупності дозволяють простежити складний процес обміну та репатріації хворих та скалічених бранців під час Першої світової війни. Перспективи подальших студіювань передбачають системне вивчення складного процесу обміну військовополоненими між усіма учасниками протиборчих військово-політичних блоків під час Першої світової війни із залученням широкої джерельної бази. Проведена наукова розвідка дозволяє зробити висновки, що процес обміну та репатріації військовополонених інвалідів та хворих на Східному фронті під час Першої світової війни був досить ситуативним та не організованим належним чином. Критерієм для обміну мав бути стан здоров’я військовополонених, які могли бути репатрійованими додому або інтернованими до нейтральних країн, а відбором та медичним освідченням бранців мали займатися спеціальні змішані лікарські комісії. Незважаючи на розроблені та підписані між Росією, Австро-Угорщиною та Німеччиною угоди, намічені шляхи їхньої реалізації та визначення посередників, які мали сприяти реалізації передбачених заходів, репатріація полонених упродовж 1915-1918 рр. наштовхувалася на низку труднощів, таких як: часта нескоординованість дій; загальна підозрілість і шпигуноманія, притаманні всім протиборчим сторонам; фінансові, транспортні та організаційні труднощі тощо. Хоча у підсумку це і дало доволі скромні результати на фоні загальної чисельності полонених, але, водночас, напрацьований упродовж Першої світової війни досвід заклав основи для подібних практик у наступних воєнних конфліктах.
Зовнішня політика Ірану у ХХІ ст.: посилення експансіоністських тенденцій
Authors: Пророченко Н.О. , Охріменко М.А.
Published: January 2025

Дослідження містить аналіз зовнішньої політики Ісламської Республіки Іран у ХХІ ст. Звертається увага на економічний і військово-політичний потенціал Ірану, вплив шиїтської ідеологічної доктрини на іранський зовнішньополітичний курс. У статті представлено характеристику інструментів реалізації  контролю і впливу Ірану на держави Близькосхідного регіону (Ірак, Сирія, Ліван, Байрейн, Саудівська Аравя, Кувейт, Ємен) і політичні ісламістські угруповання (іракські Бадр, Катаіб Хезболла, Хашд аль-Шаабі, ліванську Хезболла, палестинські ХАМАС і Ісламський джихад, єменських хуситів, ін.). Аналізується ефективність використання Іраном методів «м’якої сили» для поширення свого впливу у мусульманських державах. Відзначено дестабілізуючу роль Ірану в регіоні Близького Сходу під час подій «арабської весни».
Аналізується інтенсифікація відносин Ірану з КНР і РФ, які досягли рівня стратегічного партнерства і які посилилися після повномасштабного вторгненням Росії в Україну, коли набула очевидних контурів вісь Іран–Китай–Росія. Заради реалізації експансіоністських амбіцій іранська влада пожертвувала конструктивними відносинами з Україною, надаючи відверту військову допомогу РФ – використання іранської зброї (як дрони-камікадзе «Шахед») є доведеним фактом. Причетність іранського режиму до підтримки злочинної війни Росії проти України призвела до розриву дипломатичних відносин між Україною та ІРІ, до погіршення іміджу Ірану на міжнародній арені.
Визначено, що завдяки посиленню свого впливу на Близькому Сході Іран збільшив свою геополітичну вагу, але держави, що знаходяться під впливом Ірану, позбавлені внутрішньої стабільності, зазнають соціального і економічного занепаду.

Data were collected through surveys filled out by business owners and consumers who engage with the brand on social media. The results show that the use of social media has a significant influence on entrepreneurial branding and contributes to strengthening entrepreneurial branding. Several recommendations are given to small and medium business actors in utilizing social media to strengthen their brand image.
Land Tenure, Parental Marital Status and Child Labor in Cocoa Farming in Diégonéfla-Lahouda (Côte d'Ivoire)
Authors:   Assistant at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire) / Department of Educational Sciences, Cécile Dr. Djè Amenan
Published: January 2025

The aim of the present study was to assess the variability in the degree of child labor constraint in cocoa farming at Lahouda in the sub-prefecture of Diégonéfla in Côte d'Ivoire, according to the land tenure status and marital type of their parents. 50 children, 20 girls and 30 boys, all attending school and aged between 10 and 16, were interviewed using a questionnaire and a semi-directive interview. The results show that the children of farmers who do not own cocoa plots are subject to heavy labor, while those of farmers who do own plots are not. The results also show that the children of polygamous cocoa farmers are in binding labor, while those of monogamous farmers are in non-binding labor. To achieve this, Côte d'Ivoire needs to include farmers in social security policies and regulate work and sharecropping contracts in cocoa farming. In addition, it needs to raise awareness among polygamous cocoa families about household financial management.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the role of international actors in providing psychosocial support to survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in the Nakivale Refugee Settlement. Employing a pragmatic research philosophy, a mixed-methods approach was utilized, integrating both qualitative and quantitative data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the psychosocial challenges faced by refugees. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 166 participants, including 151 household heads and key informants such as local leaders and NGO representatives. Results revealed that an overwhelming 87% of respondents reported being psychologically affected by GBV, underscoring the urgent need for effective psychosocial interventions. The data indicated that 45.2% of survivors benefited from psychosocial support, enabling them to resume normal lives after experiencing depression. However, significant gaps remain, including economic instability and limited access to legal services, which hinder recovery and reintegration efforts. The findings highlight the critical importance of coordinated efforts among international actors, local governments, and community organizations to enhance the effectiveness of psychosocial support for GBV survivors. Recommendations include strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration, improving access to legal services, and addressing underlying socio-economic factors contributing to GBV in refugee contexts. This study contributes to the discourse on GBV in humanitarian settings and emphasizes the need for sustained investment in mental health and psychosocial services.
BİRLİKTE ÖĞRENME PRATİĞİ OLARAK SANAT YÖNETMENLİĞİ DERSİ
Authors: Yılmaz Serdar , Işır Öznur
Published: January 2025

Sanat Yönetmenliği dersi; Güzel Sanatlar ve İletişim Fakülteleri’nde; Sinema, Grafik, İletişim Tasarım, Görsel İletişim ve Tasarım bölümlerinde yürütülen teorik ve uygulamalı bir derstir. Bu derste öğrenciler, resim, grafik, sinema, fotoğraf, edebiyat, mimari, tiyatro gibi sanat disiplinleri ile ilişki kurabilmektedir. Sanat Yönetmenliği dersi senaryo ve metinsel bir çalışma ile başlayıp; eskizler, taslaklar, storyboardlar, görsel tasarımlarla süreç devam etmektedir. Mimari mekânların sinemasal mekâna dönüşmesi, fotoğraf ve film çekimlerinin yapılması, kurgu, post-prodüksiyon ve filmlerin gösterim süreçleriyle tamamlanmaktadır.
Araştırma problemlerinden biri, mimari mekânların nasıl sinematik mekânlara dönüştürüldüğü ve bu dönüşümün ders içeriğinin nasıl bir parçası haline geldiğidir. Bir diğer sorgulama ise ders içeriğinin hem öğrencileri hem de eğitmenleri nasıl dönüştürebildiğidir. Pandemi döneminde aktif hale gelen ve ilk öğrencilerini alan Grafik Sanatlar Bölümüne tahsis edilen, farklı bir amaçla inşa edilmiş binanın atölyelere uygun olarak dönüştürülme süreçlerinin olumsuz etkilerinin nasıl yaratıcı bir süreçle yaşama ve üretme alanlarına çevrilebileceği ise çalışmanın ana sorgulamalarından bir diğeridir.
Tüm bu sorgulamalar için uygun bir alan sağladığına inanılan Sanat yönetmenliği dersinde gerçekleşen yeni sorgulama, yaratım ve uygulama süreçlerinin öğrenciler ve ders yürütücüleri açısından nasıl gerçekleştiğinin A/r/tografi yöntemi kullanılarak araştırılması bu çalışmanın içeriğini oluşturmaktadır.
