The impact of digital financial inclusion on economic growth in ASEAN countries – Policy implications for Vietnam
Authors: Gam To Thi Hong , Oanh Tran Thi Kim , Anh Nguyen Viet Hong , Dung Le Ngoc , Ca Phan Thi My
Published: December 2024

Applying the Bayesian approach, this paper examines how digital financial inclusion affects economic growth in ASEAN nations between 2015 and 2022. The findings demonstrate that digital financial inclusion has a detrimental effect on economic growth. This is a significantly different conclusion from earlier research. This can be explained by the fact that digital financial services are still expensive and require a while to mature or adapt to current development paradigms. On the part of control factors, while unemployment (UNE) negatively affects economic growth, others including population growth (POP), inflation (INF), and foreign direct investment (FDI) have a positive effect. The authors used the research results on the data range of ASEAN countries as prior information to regress the model with the data range of Vietnam. The research model’s findings in Vietnam are quite similar to those of the research model in ASEAN countries in general except for the POP variable, which assumes that economic growth (GDP) will decrease when POP increases. Consequently, to stimulate economic growth, ASEAN nations, particularly Vietnam, must identify strategies to lower the cost of accessing digital finance, decrease the unemployment rate, attract more foreign direct investment, and sustain a moderate inflation rate. To reduce the cost of accessing digital finance, policymakers should encourage financial institutions to provide services at lower costs and in remote areas. Additionally, FinTech providers can be leveraged to provide digital financial services.

Playing with History: August Strindberg’s Kristina and Pam Gems’s Queen Christina
Authors: Najar Esmaeil , Mohammadi Nahid
Published: December 2024

This article compares August Strindberg’s Kristina (1901) and Pam Gems’s Queen Christina (1977) and shows that these plays about Queen Christina of Sweden (1626–89) are both playing with history, but with a noteworthy difference: Strindberg incorporates his chauvinistic interests and portrays an illiterate, irresponsible, despicable monarch who is easily manipulated. His portrait of Queen Christina is not supported by Christina’s biographers and historians. On the other hand, Gems’s play undercuts the misogyny of Strindberg’s play and provides a more accurate historical account of her life’s trajectory. Gems demythologizes the distorted image of the queen as presented in Strindberg’s play. She focuses on Christina’s upbringing as a boy and her psychological endeavors to get along with her socially and politically defined role and gender.
The Subordinated Other: Exploring Gender and Environmental Subjugation in Barbara Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer through Val Plumwood’s Theory of Master Model
Authors: Nodeh Soghra , Taherian Niloofar , Pourgharib Behzad
Published: December 2024

One of the fundamental issues in mankind’s pursuit of greater development is the protection of the environment and other subordinated groups, which has been a major concern of ecofeminists in recent decades. Claiming that environmental issues are feminist issues, ecofeminists argue that the domination of women correlates with the exploitation of nature and there are critical linkages between the two. Val Plumwood, one of the most distinguished environmental philosophers, describes the oppression of humans and nature as a phenomenon stemming from a system of dualistic structures. According to this notion, these structures are psychologically manifested through the identity of the Master Model in which the Self recognizes the Other not as a distinct center of agency but rather as either a hindrance to or a resource for its needs. Examining various forms of oppression, Barbara Kingsolver in Prodigal Summer illustrates the social inequalities and the destructive attitudes toward nature and argues that they stem from the existing hierarchical dualisms in society. Accordingly, the article aims to portray these dualistic structures, their consequences, and the ways through which they are manifested psychologically. The article concludes that the domination of women and nature are correlated and lie behind many environmental degradations and oppressive attitudes toward women.
Are We All Vampires? Gothicism as an Interdisciplinary Tool for Cultural Diagnosis in Gillian Flynn’s Sharp Objects
Authors: Gawron Agnieszka
Published: December 2024

Nowadays, Gothicism takes on a form of discourse that is particularly well suited to highlighting contemporary anxieties, especially in such areas as gender, family relations, sexuality, and power structures. It’s a popular choice across different media due to its transhistorical and interdisciplinary nature. This article reviews Gillian Flynn’s novel Sharp Objects (2007) from this particular perspective. The book gained widespread attention in Poland during the time when women’s rights to self-determination were being limited by a right-wing government. The Gothic nature of the book’s world and its parallelism with reality have made it particularly resonant with contemporary Polish women. Therefore, this article uses cultural literary theory, psychoanalysis, and gender studies tools to analyze how Flynn transforms well-known Gothic tropes and motifs, demonstrating how she subverts established cultural expectations around women’s writing, femininity, and motherhood. The concept of vampirism is central to the critical meaning of the text and its derivatives in various versions, including domination, physical and symbolic violence, the uncanny, the legacy of place, blood, and colonial history.
Postcolonial Reading of Identity in the Thought of Mohammad Mossadegh: Emphasizing the Method of Deconstruction
Authors: Taherzadeh Seyed Mostafa , Noori Hadi , Alizadeh Reza
Published: December 2024

Mohammad Mossadegh is known as a nationalist and anti-colonialist leader in the dominant narrative of Iran’s contemporary history. Is Mossadegh’s thought a reflection of colonial discourse or anti-colonial resistance? What is the idea of self and other in Mohammad Mossadegh’s thought? To answer this question, deconstructive analysis is used to segregate the text structure of Mossadegh’s letters, and postcolonial theories are used to interpret the information obtained from the deconstruction method. The findings of this research show that the superiority of the West and the inferiority of Iran are not inherent and formed in connection with each other. Mossadegh did not equate the West with colonialism, nor did he consider Iranian society to be devoid of elements of resistance and civilization. In Mossadegh’s system of thought, “self” is identified through the imitation and blending of native culture with the desirable characteristics of the colonialist culture. With selectivity from the West, Mossadegh wanted the formation of a third identity to use as a center of resistance against the colonial discourse. Therefore, Mossadegh’s thought is a reflection of the active anti-colonial resistance that takes advantage of the internal contradictions of the colonial discourse.
Emergency thoracotomy of chest trauma: A cohort of 30 case series
Authors: Al-Anbari Abbas Jaafar Khaleel , Al-Hindy Hayder Abdul-Amir Makki
Published: December 2024

Background: Chest trauma is one of the leading causes of death in all age groups and accounts for 25–50% of all traumatic injuries. A small but significant proportion of individuals with thoracic injuries need an emergency thoracotomy (ET) during their primary resuscitation, although the majority can be managed conservatively. Surgical intervention has been recommended for the withdrawal of pericardial tamponade, control of large air leaks, open cardiac massage, direct management of pulmonary hemorrhage, and cross-clamping of the thoracic aorta. Thoracotomy can be used to define emergency thoracotomies. The aim of the study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and outcomes of ET for chest trauma. The study also examined the indications for ET and the outcomes of mortality and prognosis in chest trauma patients who underwent ET in the operating room.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 30 patients who were randomly chosen and admitted to Al-Imamain Al-Kadhymain Teaching Hospital between March 2022 and March 2023.

Results: The mean age of the sample population was 31.1 years. Males made up 21 (70%) of the sample, while females made up 9 (30%). There were 22 penetrating chest injuries (73.3%), compared with 8 blunt chest injuries (26.7%): 26 (86.7%) were alive, while 4 (13.3%) were dead.

Conclusion: The need for an ET to save the life of a trauma patient must be made better known. Patient delays in transport to the hospital play a crucial role in saving the lives of trauma victims. We must provide the emergency department with all the necessary equipment to perform an urgent thoracotomy.

Abstract: Momordica charantia is widely cultivated in Zaria, Nigeria, and holds a prominent place in traditional medicine. Its leaves, fruits, and seeds are known to be rich in bioactive compounds and are commonly employed to treat various infections and diseases. This study aimed to investigate the bioactive components and antibacterial properties of methanolic leaf extracts and their fractions. Phytochemical analysis of the methanolic extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, glycosides, tannins, steroids, and terpenoids. The methanolic extract was fractionated into n-butanol, ethyl acetate, and chloroform fractions. The methanolic extract exhibited superior antibacterial activity compared to its fractions, suggesting potential synergistic effects among the plant’s constituents. Antibacterial efficacy was evaluated using well-diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays. Salmonella typhi was the most susceptible bacterium, with zones of inhibition of 25.00 ± 0.10 mm, MIC of 12.5 ± 0.82 mg/mL, and MBC of 50 ± 0.22 mg/mL. This was followed by Escherichia coli (18.77 ± 0.25 mm, MIC: 50 ± 0.53 mg/mL, MBC: 100 ± 0.82 mg/mL) and Staphylococcus aureus (14.13 ± 0.91 mm, MIC: 50 ± 0.23 mg/mL, MBC: 100 ± 0.48 mg/mL). Among the fractions, the n-butanol fraction demonstrated the highest antibacterial activity. Subsequent analysis of this fraction using GC-MS identified key compounds, including 2-pentanone, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-, n-amyl isovalerate, 2(5H)-furanone, 3,5,5-trimethyl-, furan, tetrahydro-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-, and 3-tetradecanol acetate. In conclusion, the methanolic extract followed by n-butanol fraction of M. charantia exhibited significant antibacterial activity, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria such as S. typhi and E. coli. Further research is recommended to isolate and characterize the bioactive compounds responsible for this activity.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo teve como foco a análise de seis provas de carga dinâmica (PDA) em estacas prancha metálicas, empregadas como fundação e contenção de uma Obra de Arte Especial (OAE) em Curitiba, Paraná, no solo da Formação Guabirotuba. No total, foram cravadas 112 estacas do tipo AZ19-700, utilizando dois tipos de martelos vibratórios: MRZV 18V, com 4120 kg, e MS50-H3, com 8050 kg. As provas de carga foram realizadas em seis das estacas, empregando-se um bate-estaca com martelo de queda livre de 25 kN. Os resultados foram analisados pelos métodos CASE e CAPWAP, além de simulações no software GRLWEAP. Os resultados indicaram que as estacas mais longas apresentaram uma maior capacidade de carga, com os métodos CASE e CAPWAP, mostrando valores bastante semelhantes em quase todas as estacas. No entanto, o software GRLWEAP subestimou a resistência em cinco das seis estacas analisadas, provavelmente em função solidarização das estacas ensaiadas com às adjascentes. A carga de trabalho projetada foi superada em todas as estacas testadas, embora o desconfinamento de uma das faces ainda fosse necessário para a conclusão da OAE, o que poderia influenciar a resistência final obtida. Com essa pesquisa foi possível expandir o conhecimento de provas de carga dinâmica no solo da formação Guabirotuba, em particular a respeito de estacas prancha metálicas cravadas por vibração. Através da comparação dos parâmetros de ensaios de carregamento dinâmicos para estacas no solo da formação Guabirotuba, foi possível corroborar e complementar os valores de damping e quake para provas de carga nesse material.

Condições de extrema pobreza, vínculos familiares desfeitos e falta de moradia convencional, são características de pessoas em situação de rua que os caracterizam como um grupo vulnerável e que, em sua maioria, vem aliado a dependência química, alcoolismo e doenças mentais. As principais causas para que estes indivíduos estejam nessas condições podem estar associados ao desemprego, pobreza e desigualdade social. O âmbito social em que essa população esta inserida influencia no desdobrar da sua saúde e na positividade para infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs), apresentando níveis mais elevados de doenças quando comparados com a população geral. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo fornecer informações as pessoas em situação de rua acolhidas no albergue Santo Agostinho (Passos-MG), sobre transmissão, tratamento e prevenção das ISTs por meio de palestra e roda de conversa. Foi possível verificar que a vulnerabilidade das pessoas em situação de rua os expõe a diversos perigos além dos já encontrados na rua, sendo um grupo altamente exposto as ISTs e gravidez indesejada.

Published: December 2024

No monitoramento ambiental de áreas restauradas, há uma dificuldade natural de seleção de bons e eficazes indicadores ecológicos no processo de avaliação. Além disso, outra lacuna é a ausência de valores de referência que permitam avaliar o progresso da restauração e tomar medidas de manejo adaptativo. Neste estudo objetivamos produzir índices de referência para a fitofisionomia de Floresta Estacional Semidecídua, para todo o Brasil, no processo de monitoramento ambiental de áreas em processo de restauração ambiental por plantio de mudas. Para a elaboração dos índices foi adotado como metodologia, uma ampla revisão de literatura científica, de estudos desenvolvidos em ecossistemas de referência. Para a seleção dos estudos foram estabelecidos grupos de palavras-chave, e alguns critérios de seleção, como apenas artigos executados na Floresta Estacional Semidecídua e artigos a partir do ano de 2009 até 2022. Foram estudados 18 indicadores ecológicos em 307 ecossistemas de referência de Floresta Estacional Semidecídua em 15 estados brasileiros. A área de amostragem nestas florestas somou 62.933.727,25 ha, um dos maiores conjuntos de dados de monitoramento já vistos pelas pesquisas realizadas. Para análise dos dados de indicadores ecológicos numéricos foi utilizada a estatística descritiva (média e intervalo de confiança) e para os indicadores nominais foram avaliados por meio da comparação da proporção de ausentes e presentes para criar os valores de referência e comparação. Com os 183 artigos analisados (que totalizaram 307 áreas), foram definidos os valores de referência e comparação para vários indicadores ecológicos, com eles se pode avaliar as áreas em restauração comparando os resultados de seus monitoramentos com os aqui definidos. Os índices apresentados podem auxiliar também na elaboração e melhoria de políticas públicas voltadas à restauração ecológica.

Published: December 2024

Este trabalho objetivou avaliar os processos ecológicos em áreas de restauração ecológica por meio indicadores que avaliem diversos aspectos da sua funcionalidade ecológica em três áreas que se encontram em processo de restauração no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. Os projetos de restauração analisados têm idades de 13, 14 e 17 anos respectivamente, encontram-se nos municípios de Ivinhema, Jateí e Caarapó, nas coordenadas 22º22’10.69” S e 53º55’09.58” O; 22º28'55" S e 54º18'09" O; 22º38’02” S. e 54°49'19” O.  Para a avaliação das áreas, utilizou-se de indicadores baseado no método MESMIS – Marco de Avaliação de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturais Incorporando Indicadores, sendo avaliados os processos ecológicos geradores de estabilidade (capacidade do sistema de manter o equilíbrio ecológico), de resiliência (resposta a distúrbios do sistema) e de confiabilidade (capacidade do sistema de manter sua produtividade com o surgimento de alterações a longo prazo) com base em valores de referência.  Os resultados demonstram que a área de Caarapó após 17 anos de implantação da restauração tem evoluído positivamente direcionando-se para os parâmetros ecológicos de uma área restaurada uma vez que apresenta condições próximas à área de referência, em relação aos atributos de estabilidade, resiliência e confiabilidade do sistema.   No entanto, Jatei após 14 de implantação da restauração, apresenta condições relativamente próximas a Caarapó, estando em um estágio intermediário de área restaurada. A área de Ivinhema mesmo após 13 anos de implantação da restauração ainda apresenta baixa resiliência. Medidas de intervenção são necessárias em Jatei, mas principalmente na área de Ivinhema a qual encontra-se adjacente a uma matriz predominantemente agrícola.

Published: December 2024

A percepção socioambiental dos funcionários de hospitais é crucial para entender como esses profissionais se relacionam com as práticas sustentáveis no ambiente de trabalho. Essa percepção pode influenciar comportamentos ecológicos, como o descarte adequado de resíduos e a economia de recursos, refletindo um compromisso com a preservação ambiental. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a percepção socioambiental de servidores de um hospital na região do Noroeste do Paraná. Para isso, foram utilizados dois questionários: a Escala de Comportamento Ecológico (ECE) e a Escala de Medidas de Preocupação Ambiental (MPA). No total, foram avaliados 301 servidores, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino, casados e com ensino superior. Os resultados da ECE indicaram que a maior preocupação dos servidores está relacionada à economia de água, energia e ao descarte adequado de resíduos, com destaque para o comportamento pró-ativo das mulheres. Já na MPA, observou-se uma forte percepção da importância do meio ambiente para a sobrevivência humana e o bem-estar emocional, embora a interdependência entre o bem-estar pessoal e o ambiental tenha sido limitada. A conclusão reforça a necessidade de estratégias educativas e políticas que promovam maior engajamento dos servidores em práticas sustentáveis.

Este artigo investiga a Tabuada de Pitágoras na promoção do raciocínio lógico entre alunos do Ensino Médio. Utilizando a abordagem de Pesquisa-Ação, a pesquisa foi conduzida em seis turmas de uma escola em Barão de Grajaú-MA, divididas em grupo controle e grupo experimental. A metodologia incluiu uma fase de observação inicial seguida por uma intervenção com o método da Tabuada de Pitágoras no grupo experimental. Foram aplicados questionários e realizadas análises qualitativas das respostas dos alunos nos dois grupos. Os resultados indicam que o grupo experimental apresentou uma melhoria significativa nas pontuações dos questionários e na organização das respostas, comparado ao grupo controle. A média das pontuações do grupo experimental foi 20% superior à do grupo controle, bem como apresentou uma menor variação em torno dos acertos. A análise qualitativa revelou uma melhora na precisão e clareza das respostas dos alunos do grupo experimental. Esses achados corroboram a eficácia do método em melhorar as habilidades de raciocínio lógico dos alunos, alinhando-se com a literatura existente sobre a importância de métodos pedagógicos eficazes. O estudo sugere que a Tabuada de Pitágoras pode ser uma ferramenta valiosa no ensino de matemática, contribuindo para uma compreensão mais profunda e uma aplicação mais eficaz dos conceitos matemáticos.

Motion Path Study Based on Isometric Solenoids and Discrete Simulation
Authors: Wang Chenhui
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the position, speed change and collision detection problems during the traveling process of the bench dragon from both physical and mathematical perspectives. Firstly, based on the equidistance solenoid equation and the mechanical arm model, this paper iteratively recursively starts from the dragon head and sequentially solves the position of each section of the bench in the traveling process. Secondly, this paper combines the velocity analysis of the rigid rod and the nature of isometric solenoid, and also solves the position of each section of the bench in the traveling process sequentially in the form of iterative recursion. Finally, this paper discretizes the disk-in trajectory and carries out collision detection, so as to obtain the time, position, velocity and other information at the termination moment. The study shows that the model can effectively solve the complex optimization problem in the marching process of the dragon dance team.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses significant risks to maternal and fetal health, and proper dietary management is critical in mitigating these complications. In Pakistan, knowledge gaps and socio-economic barriers often limit adherence to recommended dietary practices. Objectives: To assess knowledge regarding dietary patterns among diabetic pregnant women in a tertiary care setting in Pakistan and identify barriers to effective dietary management. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 154 diabetic pregnant women receiving antenatal care at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire assessing demographics, dietary knowledge, and perceived barriers. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using SPSS version 25, with a p-value <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Most participants (37.7%) had good knowledge of carbohydrate intake, while 26.0% demonstrated excellent understanding. Meal planning awareness was moderate in 44.2% of participants. Healthcare providers were the primary source of information (59.7%), yet barriers such as lack of knowledge (32.5%) and limited access to healthy foods (29.2%) were prevalent. Significant gaps in knowledge and practice were identified, particularly among underweight and overweight/obese women. Conclusion: This study underscores the need for structured dietary education programs tailored to the cultural and socio-economic context of Pakistan. Integrating nutritional counseling into antenatal care can enhance knowledge and improve dietary practices, reducing the risks associated with gestational diabetes.

A Perspective on Parenting Attitudes in the Context of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: Examination of Two Works from the Field
Authors: Keleş Fadim Büşra , Kesici Şahin , Ak Mehmet
Published: December 2024

Since the dawn of the humanity, individuals have endeavored to pursue happy and avoid suffering. Despite exploring various paths to achieve these aims, they often find themselves back where they started. The aim of this study was to investigate parental attitudes based on the book “The Joy of Parenting: An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Guide to Effective Parenting in the Early Years”, written within the framework of acceptance and commitment. The research employed the document analysis method, a qualitative research technique. It is stated that parental attitudes profoundly influence children and that such attitudes, learned within the family context, mold individuals throughout their lives. Although acceptance-commitment therapy, which is based on many schools of thought, attracts attention among current therapies, there remains a notable dearth of literature on its application to parenting, with limited studies dedicated to this intersection. The study reviewed parenting insights drawn from various sources and theoretical frameworks within the acceptance and commitment paradigm. Findings from literature and the book were synthesized, and subsequent discussions incorporated data from related studies. In the light of the data obtained, it was observed that undesirable parental attitudes were associated with psychological rigidity and desired parental attitudes were associated with psychological flexibility.

Published: December 2024

This research aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Psychological Flexibility in Romantic Relationships Scale. Data were collected from two separate study groups in 2024 to assess the validity and reliability of the developed measurement tool. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to assess the construct validity of the scale. The results supported the single-factor structure of the six-item scale. To provide evidence for the convergent validity of the Psychological Flexibility in Romantic Relationships Scale, its scores were correlated with the Psychological Flexibility Scale and the convergent validity was supported by a significant correlation coefficient of .72 between the scales. Cronbach Alpha coefficients examined for the reliability of the scale are above acceptable limits in both exploratory (.77) and confirmatory (.71) factor analyses and support internal consistency. Item-total correlations indicated that the scale items were highly correlated with the general factor representing the scale. Independent samples t-tests conducted on the top and bottom 27% of the sample revealed significant differences, indicating that the scale could discriminate between individuals with high and low levels of psychological flexibility in romantic relationships. In conclusion, the developed scale was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.
